Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Embracing Purpose and Self-Determination: A Journey towards Self-Mastery with Gye-Nyame Journey Tribe

 Embracing Purpose and Self-Determination: A Journey towards Self-Mastery with Gye-Nyame Journey Tribe

Greetings, beloved Gye-Nyame Tribe and extended family!


As we gather under the principles of Nia (purpose) and Kujichagulia (self-determination), we set the sails on a voyage of self-realization, purpose, and unlocking our true potential. Please, join me on this deep-dive into the "Purposed Self" and the wisdom that lies at its core.

Honoring Our Ancestors

First, let us acknowledge our roots through the age-old ritual of pouring libations for our cherished Ancestors. This sacred act connects us to our lineage, infusing our lives with empowerment, and constantly reminds us of their profound influence on our journey. In this moment, let's uplift their spirits and express our heartfelt gratitude for the paths they've paved for us to prosper.

The Power of Purpose

Our journey begins with the heartbeat of our discourse - the rhythm of purpose. Purpose is our compass, infusing meaning into our existence, and aligning our deeds with our divine calling. Purpose is our lighthouse, igniting passion and driving us to commit to a life of profound significance. Today, let's stand tall on this platform of purpose, honoring the "Purposed Self" that resides within each one of us.

Celebrating Nia

As we celebrate Nia today, we resonate with our quest for purpose. Nia prompts us to recognize and embrace our unique talents, channeling them towards endeavors that truly make a difference. Nia is our catalyst, stirring our spirits and reminding us of our capacity to shape our destinies and design a life full of joy and fulfillment.

Kujichagulia: Self-Determination Unleashed

Our exploration of Kujichagulia invites you to contemplate the profound power of self-definition. Within the Gye-Nyame Journey Self Mastery System, we delve into the core essence of the "Self" – our inherent, complete, and flawless qualities that stand independent of external factors. It's through purpose and self-determination that we unlock our inner potential and set forth on the path to "The Best Life."

Wisdom Through Forgiveness

The transformative journey towards wisdom and self-realization is beautifully captured in this proverb: "The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, they become an adolescent; the day they forgive them, they become an adult; the day they forgive themselves, they become wise." By recognizing and accepting the imperfections in others, extending forgiveness, and embracing self-forgiveness, we lay the groundwork for personal evolution, maturity, and the ensuing wisdom.

The Call to the Purposed Self

Today, let's toast to the "Purposed Self" within us and embark on a path of self-discovery, forgiveness, and resilience. Honor your purpose, pay respect to your Ancestors, and create your unique resonance in the world. March forward with conviction, compassion, and unwavering faith in your potential to effect positive change.

Join Our Journey

In conclusion, I warmly invite you to become part of our cherished community by joining our email list at FreeGNJecourse.com. This membership will unlock a treasure trove of resources and insights to support your journey towards self-mastery. For those yearning to delve deeper into these principles and elevate their lives to new heights, participate in the Nguzo Saba Challenge at NguzoSabaChallenge.com.

Together, let's embody our purposed selves, ignite our passions, and uncover the wisdom residing within us. May the principles of Nia and Kujichagulia guide us on a path to purpose, self-determination, and deep-seated fulfillment.

With love and determination,

Brother ha2tim

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...
