  Are you cooking a goat in a lion’s pot? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-lion-s-pot-scraping-off-perfection--72019066 We’ve all been there. You have a grand vision—a "Lion" of a purpose—but you try to simmer it alongside your "Goat" fears of what people might think or the terror of getting it wrong. The result? A life that tastes like "just enough" instead of "greatness." Today we are talking about Nia through the eyes of Kuumba . We are tearing down the altar of perfectionism. What if failure wasn't a wall, but a staircase? What if you were allowed to be "bad" at something until you became a master? The Ancestral Algorithm is clear: Delete 'Fear of Failure' and install 'Infinite Iteration'. We’re looking at the Trials of Gye to see how falling down is actually the first step to flying. Call to Inaction “The heavy load only falls when you open your hands.” Stop over-polishing. What project are you refusing ...

What happens when we use our wisdom to create foolishness? We get ideas running through our communities and lives causing pain and suffering. The illusion of disunity is a major focus for today, although I could hit on many others. The reason why it's important is because it affects how we...

Nia- The Illusion of Disunity

Image
So today I want to focus on these trouble makers who keep us divided. Let's call them the illusionists because they are magicians of sorts. They are skilled at getting us to believe that we are separate and not united. They are masters at getting us to see and even create the differences between us and others. They know that if we see ourselves as different from each other then we will not come together as one. Now there are different types of illusionists, but for now I want to focus on the ones that come from within. These are the illusionists that in most cases we can recognize once we know what to look for. These people have a need to have drama in their lives and in our lives, so they try to create it when there is none. They do this by manipulating information and distorting reality, sometimes they do this to intentionally hurt someone or a group of people, but most of the time they do it because they don't know any other way to live. See these illusionists have been taug...
