The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts.

I’ve spent years thinking about this, and I know how deeply ingrained it is in our society. It’s a mindset that has us chasing dreams that are often illusions, distractions designed to keep us from recognizing and addressing the real issues in our communities. It’s time we talk about it.
