The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

Image
The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts. But here is where it gets interesting: We are in the Week of Kuumba (Creativity) , and today, specifically, is the Day of Kuumba . That’s a "Double-Dose" of Creativity. A double shot of that creative spark. Now, I know what the world tells you creativity looks like. They tell you it’s adding more paint ...

The Genius of Imani: Unleashing the Power of Creativity and Faith

 

The Genius of Imani: Unleashing the Power of Creativity and Faith

Greetings to our Gye-Nyame tribe and extended family!

Today, we celebrate a remarkable juncture in our shared journey—the day of Kuumba (Creativity) during the week of Imani (Faith). This unique blend of principles invites us all to explore and awaken the inherent "Genius Of Faith" within us.

Every day offers a new chance to deepen our understanding of our guiding principles. As we traverse this path together, delving into the dynamic interactions between our principles, we continuously gather fresh wisdom, broaden our perspectives, and make strides towards self-mastery.

The Genius within Creativity

Today, we focus our attention on Kuumba, an invitation to saturate every facet of our lives with creativity. This principle prompts us to envision better solutions, foster healthier communities, and create a more prosperous world. And hidden within this creative process lies the essence of genius.

Genius is not confined to exceptional intellectual or creative abilities. It's the driving force that empowers us to leverage creativity to instigate transformative change. Take a glance at our own history and find the genius in figures like Madam C.J. Walker, whose innovation in hair care revolutionized an entire industry. Or George Washington Carver, who employed his creativity to revamp agricultural practices globally.

The Power of Faith

Moving into the week of Imani, we're called to recognize and embrace the extraordinary power of faith. More than a spiritual or religious belief, Imani is about trust—a trust in our abilities, our communities, our spiritual systems, and our Ancestors. The placebo effect is a prime example of faith's potency, where mere belief in a treatment can lead to significant healing and growth.

The amalgamation of Kuumba and Imani gives birth to a riveting concept—"The Genius Of Faith." By allowing our unique genius to shape our faith, we chart our path forward, opening up an expanse of infinite possibilities.

Embrace the Genius of Imani

Having faith in our genius empowers us to overcome challenges, aim for success, and contribute positively to our tribe. This unwavering faith, coupled with our creative genius, allows us to experience what our Ancestors called "the best life."

An insightful Fipa proverb provides guidance here: "One who bathes willingly with cold water doesn't feel the cold."

Life's 'cold waters'—challenges and uncertainties—might seem overwhelming. But the Genius Of Faith nudges us to willingly accept these trials, not as obstacles but as stepping stones for growth.

This faith is not blind. It's an active, conscious trust, built upon the foundation of our own strengths, capabilities, and triumphs. It's the realization that we can transform challenges into opportunities.

By willingly confronting our challenges, armed with the Genius Of Faith, we build resilience, inspire growth, and foster self-mastery.

Your Journey Begins Today

On this day of Kuumba in the week of Imani, let's harness our inner genius to creatively shape our faith. Trust in your abilities, your potential, and the prosperity of our community.

Ready to embark on this journey? Your first step towards transformation begins with a decision—a decision to face life's 'cold waters' willingly and with conviction.

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.

Humbleness As A Tool

Image
I have noticed that many people lack humbleness, I guess that this principle has been dismissed as something that is old fashion and has been thrown on the scrapheap of history. Humbleness, I have found to be a necessary weapon of a warrior. Humbleness is one of the major principles that need to be honed and sharpened in the old and young.  How can you learn if you have no humbleness? Yes high self esteem is important, but for some reason humbleness has been removed from the concept of esteem and replaced with false pride. In order to learn we have to be able bow our heads, close our mouths, and open our two ears. There is no learning without a humble heart. In order to learn we have  be willing to admit our ignorance about a situation. Admitting ignorance requires humbleness which  is important and can not be done by someone who has confused pride with self esteem. Admitting ignorance to someone or an institution is the first step to being able to gain the knowledge the...
