KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility

KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together. This article centers around a powerful concept: KET.N , a Kemetic term gifted to our tribe by Brother Kwame Keuchler . KET.N , simply put, means “Our Thang.” Not just something we claim—but something we commit to. Something we shape and something that shapes us. The idea came alive during a conversation about gangster movies—yeah, I love those. One phrase always stood out: “This thing of ours.” And that got me thinking... Because we need that same spirit when it comes to Gye-Nyame. When it comes to Simsa. When it comes to our culture, our children, and our future. We need our own KET.N. KET.N: It Belongs to Us. We Belong to It. KET.N isn’t just a word—it’s a sacred commitment. Our Thang represents a bond with something greater than any individua...

Embracing Self-Determination: Honoring Ancestors and Shaping Our Destiny

 Embracing Self-Determination: Honoring Ancestors and Shaping Our Destiny

Introduction

Dear Tribe and extended family,

As we observe the significant day of Kujichagulia during this enlightening week, we come together to salute the might of self-determination and honor our Ancestors. This blog post will uncover the quintessence of self-determination, the importance of honoring our Ancestors, and their guiding wisdom in shaping our destinies.

Remembering Our Ancestors: The Pillars of Strength

At the outset, let's recognize the power of remembering and honoring our Ancestors daily. They form the cornerstone of our strength and wisdom. We commemorate their legacy through heartfelt toasts and libations, drawing inspiration from their resilience, courage, and firm self-belief. Let's take a moment to reflect and show our gratitude for the wisdom they've instilled in us.

Unfolding the Essence of Kujichagulia

Kujichagulia, representing the principle of self-determination, empowers us to define our identities and voices. By embracing our unique journeys, we liberate ourselves from external constraints and societal norms. Kujichagulia challenges us to be confident in our abilities and resolved to carve our own paths.

Self-Determination: The Collective Journey

As we traverse the path of self-determination, it's crucial to acknowledge that we are not alone. Our Tribe and extended family are our companions in this journey. Together, we celebrate our unique identities and shared heritage, offering mutual support, motivation, and inspiration. Through collective unity, we foster an environment where self-determination thrives.

The Wisdom of the Proverb: "If you want to eat, bend your knee"

This meaningful proverb underscores the humility and adaptability necessary on our path towards self-determination. When we bend our knee, we humbly seek wisdom from our Ancestors, appreciating their guidance and paying tribute to their legacy. It is through this act of respect that we acquire the strength and nourishment needed to shape our destinies.

Utilizing the Power of Self-Determination

Self-determination is more than a personal pursuit; it's a collective endeavor. As we observe Kujichagulia, let's harness the power of our voices, contributions, and collective unity. Through the principles of self-determination and the wisdom of our Ancestors, we craft our narratives and pave the way for a future filled with liberation, abundance, and empowerment.

Conclusion

As we draw this exploration to a close, I encourage you to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-determination. Join our free e-course at FreeGNJEcourse.com. Here, you'll gain valuable insights, tools, and support to fully embrace your self-determination, leading a life brimming with purpose and abundance.

In gratitude and unity,

Brother ha2tim

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.
