“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth

Image
“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth You’ve heard it before: "These kids today are always on their phones!" "They don’t go outside like we used to!" "They’re soft, disconnected, and distracted!" This chorus rings out from porches, podcasts, pulpits, and barbershops alike. But the more we listen, the more we realize—it’s not a new song. It's a remix of an ancient tune. What we’re hearing is not prophecy. It’s tradition. Not the youth breaking something sacred—but the elders struggling with the sacred breaking open and becoming something new. The Cycle of Complaint: A Timeless Pattern Every generation gets blamed for the downfall of the world. It’s almost a rite of passage. Ancient Egypt (KMT): Elders worried that young scribes were too informal with sacred texts, diluting divine knowledge.

What is the principle of the week?

 You know what they say, right?

"The only place where your dreams become impossible is in your own thinking."

We're not just dreaming here: we're actually doing it. And this week, we're rolling out our newest project: the principles of the week. We've already taken over the days of the week, and now we're making a push for the principles that underpin them. We're done with deities from other cultures. We're done talking about gods and goddesses who don't care about us, who can't even relate to us—who are often lecherous and destructive themselves. Instead, we're anchoring ourselves in our own pride and culture with the Nguzo Saba every day of the week, reminding us all of how we ought to be carrying ourselves.

And now we're making a push for the principles that underpin them. Because you know what they say: "The only place where your dreams become impossible is in your own thinking."So let's stop dreaming and start doing. Let's change it all.

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...
