The Axe Forgets, But We Build: Why Kuumba Is Your Ultimate Weapon Against Systemic Amnesia Oppression thrives on a very specific type of fraud: systemic amnesia . The system hits you, leaves a scar, moves down the block, and expects you to act like nothing happened. It relies on the cold, unfeeling nature of the axe. The axe strikes with brute force, leaves deep gashes in the bark, and walks away completely oblivious to the weight of the blow. The axe forgets because it doesn’t have to carry the damage.

I have found that it has been important for me to find places of solitude or practice where I can meditate, pray, workout, and etc.. these types of things are best done in sacred spaces, because the act of you declaring them sacred for yourself helps to focus the energy that you produce. Now a major principle that I am using here is Kujichagulia (for more info checkout my book "Player's Pyramid") which gives you the power to define an area sacred for you. By declaring it sacred you open up a space where all the parts of your being can commune (more on this later). Now let's look at two types of sacred spaces: First let's look at places of solitude. These are places where you can go alone and pull yourself together. These types of places allow you to create the space needed from the world so that you can work on you.
