  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/imani-the-fire-of-unshakable-faith--70062809 Is Your Sight Limiting Your Vision? We often hear that "seeing is believing," but for those of us walking the Gye-Nyame Journey, we know the truth is exactly the opposite. If you only move based on what you can see in front of you, you are trapped by your current circumstances. In today’s episode, we break down the vibration of Imani (Faith) and why it is coded with the color Red . We discuss why Faith isn't just a religious concept—it's a survival strategy and a tool for nation-building. Why did our ancestors place this principle at the very end of the Nguzo Saba cycle? What does it mean to have "evidence" of things not seen when the world seems to be falling into chaos? If you feel like you’ve been running on fumes, or if you’re looking for the spark to ignite your next big move, you need to hear this message. The fire is waiting, but you have to be willing to step into the wa...

Camping and growing

Peace, Family. Brother ha2tim here, weaving a vision for us—a vision where the great outdoors becomes our classroom, our sanctuary, and our source of strength. As we navigate the concrete jungles of our daily lives, there’s a yearning in our hearts for connection, for peace, and for a space where we can truly grow. Imagine, if you will, a series of camping trips planned with intention and purpose, not just as escapes but as powerful tools for fundraising and personal evolution. This is about tapping into the ancestral wisdom of nature to fuel our journey from merely surviving to thriving, from individual to collective empowerment. Let’s dive into how future camping trips can be the fertile ground for nurturing our community's roots and branches.

The Road Ahead: Our map is drawn with trails leading us through Ohio’s scenic parks to the uncharted terrains of the Midwest. Each destination is a chapter of our larger story, waiting to be filled with laughter, lessons, and life-changing moments:

  1. Heartfelt Fundraising: Integrating these camping expeditions into our fundraising endeavors isn’t just about collecting donations; it’s about offering transformative experiences in exchange for support. It's creating a cycle of giving that nourishes both the individual and our collective missions.

  2. Unity in the Wilderness: Nature strips away the facades, revealing our true selves and weaving deeper connections among us. These trips are our canvas, painted with the colors of camaraderie, understanding, and genuine community vibes, away from the digital buzz and city rush.

  3. Soulful Journeys of Growth: Every camping challenge is a lesson, every night under the stars a moment for reflection. These adventures are our rites of passage, guiding us through personal barriers to discover our inner resilience, peace, and power.

  4. For All of Us: By keeping our adventures affordable, we ensure that this journey of self-discovery and community building is open to every brother and sister in our tribe. It’s about inclusivity, ensuring that the path to empowerment is walked together.

  5. Leaders Born from Campfires: These trips are the arenas where emerging leaders step up, where responsibility is shared, and where the future torchbearers of our community are forged. It’s real-world leadership, seasoned with the spirit of togetherness and the challenge of the wild.

Forward March:

With the horizon in our sights, we stand ready to embark on this new chapter. These future camping trips hold the keys to strengthening our bonds, igniting our fundraising efforts, and sparking personal transformations. This isn’t just about packing our bags for the next adventure; it’s about packing our spirits with courage, love, and the readiness to grow and lead.

In the heart of nature, we find our own hearts beating louder, clearer, and in unison with our brothers and sisters. These future camping expeditions are more than getaways; they're stepping stones to a future where our community stands stronger, more connected, and deeply rooted in our shared journey towards Peace, Power, and Joy.

We are calling on you to join this movement, to be part of this story of upliftment and transformation. Let’s embrace these camping trips as opportunities to write our narratives of resilience, unity, and growth. Together, under the vast, starlit sky, let’s find our path forward, lighting the way for generations to come with the fire of our collective spirit.

How to pour Libations

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.

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.

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
