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 ...

Unleashing Ujamaa: A Journey Towards Shared Prosperity Through Collective Effort and Personal Expectations

 Dear Tribe and Extended Family,

Today, as we dive headfirst into the enlightening week of Ujamaa, we are presented with an incredible opportunity to embrace and celebrate the power of collective responsibility and cooperation.

Honoring Our Ancestors

But first, let us pause for a moment.

A moment to honor and uplift our Personal Ancestors through the sacred act of pouring libations. Through this ritual, we connect with their wisdom, strength, and resilience. We acknowledge the interconnectedness of our past, present, and future. It is an intimate moment where we remember that we stand on the shoulders of giants.

The Essence of Ujamaa

Ujamaa, a principle deeply rooted in the Swahili language, encapsulates the spirit of cooperative economics. It illuminates the path towards our economic prosperity, guiding us to understand that it is not solely reliant on the circumstances around us, but is strongly influenced by our individual and collective expectations.

To achieve the remarkable, we must first expect greatness from ourselves. It is this belief in our abilities, combined with our collective effort, that propels us towards success.

Our Proverb of the Day

As the saying goes, "If you want to accomplish something, you must first expect it from yourself." This timeless wisdom serves as a reminder that the seed of success is sown within us. It encourages us to foster a mindset of self-belief, determination, and relentless expectation in our abilities.

Within the framework of the Gye-Nyame Journey Self Mastery System, Ujamaa resonates with the concept of "The Purposed Self", spotlighting the vital role of personal expectations in achieving economic empowerment.

Practicing Ujamaa in Everyday Life

Now, let's reflect. How can we imbue Ujamaa into our daily lives?

The journey begins by fostering a mindset of self-empowerment, resilience, and personal accountability. It's about expecting greatness from ourselves and transforming into active contributors to the economic upliftment of our tribe.

Your Journey of Self-Mastery

As we continue on our journey of self-mastery, I encourage you to join our email list and access our free e-course at FreeGNJEcourse.com. It offers a deeper insight into Ujamaa and the impact of personal expectations on collective prosperity.

For those seeking to dive even deeper, consider joining our Nguzo Saba Challenge at NguzoSabaChallenge.com. It's a platform dedicated to exploring principles that guide us towards economic empowerment and communal upliftment.

Remember, Ujamaa is a Mindset

Ujamaa is not merely a concept or an ideology; it's a mindset and a way of life. Together, let's cultivate a culture of cooperative economics, driven by our personal expectations, and build a future marked by shared prosperity, abundance, and fulfillment.

In unity, we thrive.

Thank you for your continued support and participation in this incredible journey,

With gratitude,

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. 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...
