Black Power ≠ Black Supremacy: Shifting the Conversation from Distraction to Definition

Image
Black Power ≠ Black Supremacy: Shifting the Conversation from Distraction to Definition Great Day, Family. This morning hit me with a wave of insight. What you’re about to read is one of three articles that came to me before breakfast. The ideas were flowing so strong, I had to stop, reflect, and bring them to you straight—unfiltered, but focused. Let’s talk about something I heard in a study group that made me pause: “When we talk about Black Power… shouldn’t we be worried about Black Supremacy?” That was the question posed. And I sat with it, not because it was a deep question—but because it’s a familiar one. One of those questions that burns up energy and resources trying to respond to it. And that, right there, is part of the problem. Let’s break it down. The Art of the Goalpost Shuffle Sometimes, people ask questions they haven’t even fully thought through. Other times, they’re intentionally vague— questions designed not to discover truth, but to derail it. The probl...

Failure-Ha2ku

Bricks that pave road/
To success are made from the/
dust of our failures/

I was talking to one of my client's  and this question came up:

What is the opposite of success?

My client stated "the opposite of success is failure", but as our conversation progressed we both had to re-think this statement. During the SelfMastery process the goal of the coach is to help the student find his own path. In SelfMastery we don't talk about failures we look at feedback. We learn how to look at our outcomes and adjust our actions step by step (waging a Minor Things Campaign) until we get the results we are seeking.  SelfMastery is a Dynamic process that grows with each individual that goes through this process.

 I am still in Process myself, traveling this Journey with each of you. Last week during my personal process I was bombarded by quotes and proverbs that all praised Failure. This blew my mind because My whole life I was taught the negatives of failure. This was so ingrained in me that I translated the word Failure into Feedback. I wanted to take this word (failure)out of my mind and life. As I was working with my daily quotes I received a whole series of quotes about the power of Failure. How it is Failure that gives birth to not only success, but even wisdom. Internally I guess I knew this but I gave in to what I was taught. As I did my personal work I  remembered a statement that I read in a book called "Journey to Ixtlan" where the master Don Juan taught his student that "failure was succeeding to stay on the path". I began to recall all of the opportunities that I had missed because I feared rather than embraced failure. By us fearing the process of Failure rather than respecting it, we rob ourselves of the real power of a warrior. As I reviewed my life I could not find one thing I had learned to do that did not start in failure.

So I was taught something once again by a client, and hopefully you have as well. See you soon as we continue our Journey.

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
