The Art of Subtraction: Why Your Hustle is Keeping You Trapped

The Art of Subtraction: Why Your Hustle is Keeping You Trapped The system has lied to you. It told you that building a legacy requires carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. It taught you to stack stress, collect obligations, and wear your exhaustion like a badge of honor. But the Ancestors didn't design us to be pack mules for a broken matrix. Today, we step firmly into the brilliant, vibrant portal of Kuumba (Creativity) , vibrating at the high-texture frequency of Orange . And the first rule of true manifestation is this: Liberation is a subtractive journey. The Xhosa proverb warns us: Kuhlangene isanga nenkohla —the wonderful and the impossible have come into collision. When you allow yourself to stay trapped in the low-vibrational loops of being Mad, Sad, or Scared , you are playing by their rules. The system feeds on your blame, shame, and guilt. It turns every obstacle into an unyielding concrete wall. But an artist doesn’t war with the wall; an artist sees a ca...

A True Sucker Move

 

A True Sucker Move



This is a tale of enslavement, and as sad as it is I have to make sure that my readers get the point. Please realize that this horse was a slave long before he took the man as his partner. The horse fell prey to the Unbalanced passions that we often talk about in Gye-nyame long before the bit was placed in his mouth. He led himself toward destruction and sacrificed everything because he was not seeing clearly.


The most unfortunate thing about this whole story is that I witness this behavior on a daily basis. We have people willing to slow dance with destruction rather than take a moment to really think about the ramifications of their actions. I have seen people destroy and attempt to destroy organizations that serve the community for something as petty as the horse’s grievance in this tale. Just like the horse, these people don’t realize until it is too late that they have sold their souls.


Man it is like watching a car crash in slow motion. You know the result you even try to warn the person that they are not seeing nor doing what they think, but they move with force and the next thing you know they are sitting with a bit in their mouth serving time, or someone else.


“At one time the Horse had the plain entirely to himself. Then a Stag intruded into his domain and shared his pasture. The Horse, desiring to revenge himself on the stranger, asked a man if he were willing to help him in punishing the Stag. The man replied that if the Horse would receive a bit in his mouth and agree to carry him, he would contrive effective weapons against the Stag. The Horse consented and allowed the man to mount him. From that hour he found that instead of obtaining revenge on the Stag, he had enslaved himself to the service of man.”


If you don’t get anything from any of the other folktales please spend some time with this one. Especially my people, and my tribe make sure you allow this folktale to spend some time and make its way into your heart. This one may save two lives.

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...
