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 ...

Seize Your Destiny: Shattering the Illusion of Waiting

 Seize Your Destiny: Shattering the Illusion of Waiting

This image, steeped in the Afro-realist style, features a group of African American figures standing together in solidarity against a backdrop that weaves the vibrant Pan-African colors of red, black, and green throughout. These colors symbolize the blood shed for freedom, the people, and the rich natural wealth of Africa, respectively. The figures are depicted gazing towards a horizon that suggests a bright and hopeful future, their postures exuding strength and unity. The background subtly incorporates elements of the African landscape, alongside motifs that celebrate the community's rich cultural heritage and resilience. The entire composition is a powerful testament to empowerment, unity, and cultural pride, designed to inspire a conscious African American audience.
Stop Waiting

Greetings, Family! Brother ha2tim here, inviting you on a transformative journey from the shadows of anticipation to the light of action. This narrative is a clarion call to all who have been caught in the snare of waiting for that 'perfect moment' or the 'right opportunity' to manifest. Let's unravel the fallacy of waiting and illuminate the path to empowerment, self-determination, and cultural resonance.

The idea of waiting for a miraculous change is a seductive illusion that hampers our growth and dims the brilliance of our potential. Here's how we can break free and step into our power:

  1. The Myth of the Perfect Moment: Understand that waiting for the perfect moment often leads to missed opportunities. The perfect time is now, in the actions we take and the decisions we make.
  2. Self-Selection is Key: Embrace the concept of choosing yourself. The world is waiting for your light, but first, you must ignite it within. Stop waiting for external validation and start validating your own existence and purpose.
  3. Transforming Self-Doubt into Action: Every moment spent in doubt is a step away from your potential. Convert that energy into action, and let every step forward be a declaration of your capability.
  4. Building a Community of Action-Takers: Join hands with those who have stepped beyond the waiting game. Together, we can build a vibrant community that thrives on empowerment, mutual growth, and cultural pride.
  5. Living Beyond Limits: Recognize the self-imposed boundaries that come from waiting. By choosing to act, you are already moving beyond those limits, paving the way for personal and collective triumph.

For those eager to delve deeper and join a community of like-minded individuals committed to breaking the cycle of waiting, I've got just the thing. Enroll in our free e-course at FreeGNJEcourse.com for a dive into empowerment and action. Or, for a space to share and discuss further, our Telegram thread @GNJTribe is open. Let's foster a movement where taking action, embracing our power, and celebrating our cultural heritage are at the forefront of our collective narrative.

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...
