The "Self-Made" Trap: Why Your Evolution Requires an "Us"   https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ujima-the-blueprint-of-collective-power--70404825 Have you ever felt like you are carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders, completely alone? We are constantly sold the story of the "self-made" success, but that narrative is quietly burning us out. It leaves us isolated, trapped in cycles of blame and guilt when things go wrong, and disconnected from the very people who could help us rise. In our latest discussion, we are breaking down a powerful ancestral blueprint that changes everything. It’s a shift in perspective that takes the heavy burden off the individual and places it where it belongs—in the hands of the collective. If you’ve been feeling drained trying to fix everything by yourself, or if you’re wondering why our communities struggle to find solid ground, there is a missing piece to the puzzle that we need to reclaim.

Tribal Quotes 18: The Essential You

Tribal Quotes 18: The Essential You


Introduction

Brother Kwame is coming hard with the shows, listen in and plug into his insight. He is using the "African Openings to The Tree Of Life" for all those that want to go deeper into what he is saying.

Today, we are going to focus on the “essential you” which is the person who is present in all of your thoughts and feelings. You are the person – or being – that makes meaning of your life. You are the one who interprets your world to make sense of it; you are the one who comes up with a creative solution when others may not be able to do so; you are the one who makes beauty in this world by creating it yourself; you are the one who has a purpose for living and loving; you are the one who is aware of what matters in this life and how to find meaning even in suffering or death.

In the past I have talked about the centrality of your inner head as it relates to making meaning in your life. The inner head is also called:

As you know, I like to talk about the inner head as it relates to making meaning in your life. The inner head is also called:

  • spirit

  • mind’s eye

  • the light within

  • the higher self

  • and god in you

“Spirit”

The essential you is the inner head, which is your soul. It’s a higher power that guides you and helps you to have clarity. It’s what gives you purpose, meaning, and direction in life.

“Mind’s eye”

The mind’s eye is our essential selves. It is the space where we develop ourselves and increase our freedom to be more of who we are.

What if you wrote a story in your head about what you want to do, where you want to go, and how you will get there? What if this story became so vivid that it felt as if it were true? If we did this – what would happen? Would our lives change overnight? Would they be easier or harder? How would we feel about ourselves being in that place of fulfillment?

“The light within”

The light within is your inner head.

The light within is your essential self.

The light within is your higher self.

The light within is your secret self.

The light within is your spirit, which you can call god if you want to be more comfortable with that terminology, but it's not really important what you call it—it just exists inside of you and radiates outward from there.

Conclusion

The truth is, you are not just the physical body you see in the mirror; nor are you simply the voice in your head. You are a spirit being who has chosen to incarnate on earth for evolutionary reasons. And if you ask me, we must all work together to ensure that your true identity is not destroyed by the forces of evil.

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...

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...
