“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth

🍬“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we constantly talk about reclaiming control of our lives—our thoughts, our time, our energy. But one of the biggest saboteurs of that control might be sitting right in your pantry, masked behind a thousand names. That saboteur is sugar . The Hidden Chains of Sugar Sugar is more than just a sweetener—it's an addictive substance that hijacks the brain’s reward system. Studies have shown that sugar can be more addictive than cocaine in animal tests. It lights up the same neural pathways and leaves the body craving more. When we talk about freedom, health, and liberation, we cannot ignore this powerful substance that’s quietly shaping our moods, our waistlines, and our willpower. Eliminating or drastically reducing sugar is like breaking invisible chains . You think clearer. Your energy levels stabilize. Your mood improves. You sleep better. Your skin glows.

Using Ujamaa To Overcome Fear (sample)

I think we could all agree, at the least abstractly, that we want to live in a world without fear. Let's break it down and go on a run-through of some ideas, principles and practices which are fundamental to overcoming fear. Then maybe you'll see why you should take a closer look at the principle of Ujamaa, and how it's intersection with other principles helps us overcome fear and build friendship through the proper use of reciprocity and gratitude.

The first idea I'd like to bring up is Ma'at, which is roughly equivalent to the western idea of justice - but with an important distinction. Ma'at wasn't about punishment or vengeance; it was about restoration, harmony and balance. One way to think about it is this: when someone violates a boundary, they have knocked the system out of balance, and Ma'at is there to restore that balance by restoring that boundary. If someone steals your bike, Ma'at seeks not to punish them as much as it seeks to return your bike. Of course this isn't always possible - in cases where you can't get your bike back, you might be compensated with something else.

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.

Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
