“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth

Image
“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth You’ve heard it before: "These kids today are always on their phones!" "They don’t go outside like we used to!" "They’re soft, disconnected, and distracted!" This chorus rings out from porches, podcasts, pulpits, and barbershops alike. But the more we listen, the more we realize—it’s not a new song. It's a remix of an ancient tune. What we’re hearing is not prophecy. It’s tradition. Not the youth breaking something sacred—but the elders struggling with the sacred breaking open and becoming something new. The Cycle of Complaint: A Timeless Pattern Every generation gets blamed for the downfall of the world. It’s almost a rite of passage. Ancient Egypt (KMT): Elders worried that young scribes were too informal with sacred texts, diluting divine knowledge. Socrates & Writing: The great philosopher warned that writing would weaken memory and destroy true understand...

Culture & Food- Daily Toast Kuumba 63171

My FAM: I appreciate your eyes & the time you spend reading my post. It is amazing that through your dedication and inspiration I have been able to post daily. I thank you a thousand times and pray and toast that our ancestors will push you on your chosen path to success. Yesterday we had an opportunity to discuss the connection between food and Culture. We were introduced to a field that was created to explore this relationship and with that information I believe help in further conquest of other's Culture. We explored the difference between one feeding and one eating, and I ask the question which one are you involved with. Because one is directly linked to culture and the other is just about getting energy to work. Our relationship with food defines us as well as our connection with our ancestors and have direct effects on our health. So take some time and and view this long video ( I promise I am trying to reduce the amount of time I spend on the video but sometimes m...

"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...

Find A Sacred Space

Image
Find a sacred space/ where you can unify your/ Soul, mind and body/ We all need to get away from the hustle and bustle. 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. (Examples: personal alter...
