Scraping Off the Illusion of Isolation: Why Your "Hyper-Independence" Is Spiritual Malware

Image
Let’s stop playing games on this porch today, family. We live in a world that aggressively sells you a lie wrapped up in shiny packaging. They call it "grind culture." They call it "staying in my own lane." They tell you that true strength means locking your doors, hiding your wounds, carrying every burden on your own back, and declaring to the world: "I don't need nobody." Let’s name it what it actually is: spiritual malware. It’s unhealed trauma masquerading as pride. And it is engineered to keep you exhausted, vulnerable, and easily conquered. The Cheap Counterfeit of Unity Modern society tries to tell us that Unity— Umoja —means uniformity. They want you to think it means robotic lockstep, everyone nodding along to the same beat, wearing the same forced smile. The Elders knew better. Look at the ancient Hausa proverb: "Even the Niger River must flow around an island." When a roaring river hits a massive stone, it doesn't throw a temp...

Peace FAM: Of courser you know that if you follow my videos, I am always a day behind with the post. Morning rush catches up with me, and a majority of the stuff that I do is from the heart (except when I am reading to you). It is marvelous that we are growing, I believe that "If it comes fast it don't last, but if it comes slow it's good to go".  I personally believe that as the audience builds we will be able to do great things. As more people begin to read, and take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge , we will build a tribe like no other on the Internet. My goal is to eventually be able to meet with some of my distant family members in workshops, and on my travels. Just the other day I was sitting sleep in the barber chair when a Young man came in and woke me up asking was "I the guy that do the Daily Toast", I couldn't do anything but smile because slowly but surely the message is getting out. The fact of the matter is that we lift our Ancestors up the...

"That Death Eating Ambrosia"

Image
As I sit here writing this post I am listening to Miles Davis, and to get some inspiration to write this post,  I picked up "African Openings To The Tree Of life" by Erskine Peters. When that didn't work I thumbed through my Aesop Fables, and now I am able to push through and complete this project. You are probably wondering what does all of those things that I mentioned have to do with the "Death Eater Ambrosia"? Actually everything, all of the individuals I mentioned up above left something very important and that thing is a legacy. I being a NationBuilder, and also being on and in the Journey realize the importance of legacy . It is the mark that we leave to let others know that we were here, and hat we accomplished something in the game of life. Helping others is why I created "That Ambrosia", Legacy is why I write and do my podcast. I am striving to leave a mark. I want my children to be able to look back and know that I left them and their childr...
