Burn the Shell: Why Your Passive Faith is Keeping You Trapped

Burn the Shell: Why Your Passive Faith is Keeping You Trapped Let’s stop playing small. Look around. We are a culture of builders, creators, and visionaries, yet too many of us are walking around mentally bent over, carrying the crushing weight of a system that was never designed to see us win. We’ve been conditioned to be passive—to sit back, pray for a rescue, and hope for validation from the very institutions that profit off our dependency. That isn't faith. That’s a spiritual sedative. True Imani (Faith) is a fire. It is active, aggressive, and disruptive. But before you can catch fire, you have to scrape off the toxic buildup of doubt, blame, shame, and guilt that has accumulated on your psyche. We’ve become like a collective "Simba," raised by sheep, eating grass, and actively hiding our claws because we’re terrified of our own majesty. We’ve been trained to chase external certifications and look for permission from our captors just to prove our worth. It ends toda...

The Three Stones of Brilliance: Scraping Off the Aimless Path

 The Three Stones of Brilliance: Scraping Off the Aimless Path

Is Your Life Toppling Over?

We’ve all been there—working ourselves to the bone, yet feeling like we’re just spinning our wheels in the mud. We call it "the grind," but sometimes it feels more like a slow descent into aimlessness. The Kikongo people of Central Africa have a secret for us: a pot needs exactly three stones to stay steady. Not one, not two, and definitely not a pile of pebbles.

If you feel like you’re "wandering," it might not be because you lack a map. It might be because you’re carrying too many stones that don't belong to your fire. We’re talking about the "Program of Depression" and how to flip the script to a "Mission of Brilliance." But here’s the catch: you can’t "do" your way into purpose. You have to "stop" your way into it.

Call to Inaction

"The bow that is always taut will eventually snap; the hand that never opens can never receive."

Release the grip on the things that aren't yours to carry.

  1. What "busy work" are you doing right now just to avoid sitting with your own silence?

  2. Which stone in your life was placed there by someone else's expectations?

  3. What is one responsibility you can drop today to make your "pot" more stable?

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. 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...
