Before You Build It Up, Tear It Down: A Call to Conscious Community

Image
Before You Build It Up, Tear It Down: A Call to Conscious Community I was sitting still—thinking. Letting the mind wander across proverbs , ancient texts, and what's happening now. One idea kept circling back like a hawk over fresh prey: “Before something great can be built, it must first be broken down.” You’ll find echoes of this in the Tao Te Ching , in Proverbs , and in the ancestral wisdom of Africa . “If you want to kill a fool, give them a bag full of money.” That one hit me sideways the first time I heard it. It didn’t say “fight the fool” or “educate the fool”—nope. Just bless them with abundance they ain’t ready for, and the destruction will take care of itself. And I can’t help but see that playing out in real time—in our politics, in our people, in the nation. Collapse as a Setup, Not a Setback Look, I don't usually date my writings, but let’s keep it real—it’s early November, post-election season, and a whole lot is shifting. Layoffs coming, benefit...

Defining Our Time

Defining Our Time Great Kujichagulia We are in the first week of the 4th cycle of the year of Kuumba 2022, and today we are on the day of Kujichagulia, during the week of Umoja. Which requires us to reflect on Kuji through the lens of Umoja. This system is great because it requires us to engage with each of our principles in 7 different ways, which helps us increase our knowledge about each one, and most importantly gives us tools for success.

Let's Take It To The Next Level - 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge

Image
Peace FAM: It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest. Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this: Week 1 Breathing Exercise Toast Movement Cold shower/ bath proverb & folktale of...
