Is Your "Love" for the Community Getting You Beaten by the Rain?

  Is Your "Love" for the Community Getting You Beaten by the Rain? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nia-the-filter-for-the-collective--71775198 We’ve all been there—juggling a million projects, answering every "can you help me?" text, and showing up for every "collective" effort until we’re bone-tired and bitter. We call it Ujima. We call it being a "good brother" or a "strong sister." But what if that busyness is actually a virus? Today we dive into Nia (Purpose). In a world that wants us scattered, Nia is the ultimate filter. If Ujima is the work , Nia is the why . Without the why, the work is just another form of exhaustion. We explore why "love is blind" can be a dangerous proverb for a NationBuilder, and how to use the yellow light of Nia to burn away the "buildup" of false responsibilities. Call to Inaction: Today, do not look for a new goal. Look for a commitment to quit. Release the need to be the answer to e...

How do we Practice Ujamaa without Addressing our Lack of Cooperation

 Great Ujamaa

What is Ujamaa and how do we practice it in our communities? We are a generation that has been taught to compete with one another, but have forgotten that when we work together as a community, we can accomplish more than we ever thought possible. Ujamaa is Swahili for cooperation. It means working together, being a part of the community, and making sure everyone has what they need to survive.

It's important to understand that Ujamaa is not charity or handouts. It's about all members of the tribe contributing whatever resources they have to ensure the survival of all members. The idea behind Ujamaa is simple: if I do well, then you do well. If you do well, then I do well. When we place our needs above those of others and act in competition with each other, we are practicing "individualism". Individualism says that every man is an island and must look out only for himself and his family. This philosophy teaches us to hoard our resources, keep what little we have close to us, and makes us afraid to share our prosperity because it may be taken away from us. This way of thinking has led many of us into poverty and desperation. We want change but don't know how..... For those that do

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
