The Great “I" - ( 'Living the Liberated I’)
- January 5, 2013 The last 3 months have progressed in rapid waves of thought process changes and activation of energy, gifts and talents which are equipping me for the pathway to what is and will be a great and grand adventure. With so much unfolding, I found it difficult at first to settle my mind to speak. I am therefore grateful that the words flow and I will not stop until the last word is out for this present moment. My now is being awesomely crafted right before me. I am sometimes overwhelmed but mostly I am doing all within I power, to best show, I great-fullness and I gratefulness too. I have come a short distance and the journey continues to be a daily one for me. The steps I have taken so far are very important and will prove the most beneficial in the times ahead. The Journey to liberating I started with shaky steps of uncertainty but also with knowing that the time had come to move to the next rung of existence and life. I set out wanting to “ovastand” my NIA, (Swahili for purpose) and this revelation has been life altering, so now I must “fill-fully” my NIA. Actions and circumstances, which at first seemed random, even those in the past, have begun to yield the positive impact I desired for so long. My realized NIA now resonates to those with whom I have been most intimately connected while on this journey. Manifesting the Liberated I was a learning curve, which helped me bend the corner to make my actions connect with the purpose. The Rising of the Great “I” surprises me sometimes but I am adjusting to accept and have IMANI {meaning faith in Swahili} in my abilities. The world makes more sense now that I have discovered my NIA. To be great is a choice, we are great intrinsically, and you and I are great as individuals even more significantly as a collective. Also we are powerful creators and co-creators in our relationships. The sooner we realize these two things; the sooner former “impossibilities” will just be opportunities to see how high we can climb. So, I “full-courage” you to start with confidence and continue with application, seasoned with humility and also the willingness to learn. You may be doing something for the first time, take your time, find out what is required, trust your instincts and do your best, that’s good enough. Learn as much as you can from every moment of the experience, what worked and what didn’t. We need not measure ourselves against another’s measuring stick. “Troddin” the route to knowledge of roots had me seeking. I have found, and am still finding, the pillars on which I ultimately will build my liberation. They will be my recall for the why in this journey, my response to dissenting voices of opinion. They will keep me rooted. Seeds have been sown during the Cultivating of the Liberated I, and some are still being planted. The ones nurtured are springing fruit. Sharing is part of the reaping, for in this I receive some essentials of this liberated living, such as mutual joy, authentic love, and support. The fruits are so sweet, and there are moments when everything fits together and I can almost see the full picture; but I exercise patience to not rush ahead. I must Now Live Liberated, and Be Great Now, till all the moments create a beautiful legacy, one that will hopefully inspire and welcome those on their own journey to freedom. I am unashamed of I self. These simple but powerful words, “love yourself, embrace yourself” shared in a moment of doubt have inspired me since they were first uttered and I have purposely added to them and made them my mantra. I now share my fruits with you so you can partake in the fullness: Love the I self Embrace the I self My response: Therefore I love I self...I embrace I self... I love I SELF... I EMBRACE I Self I LOVE I.... I EMBRACE I.... I EMBRACE SELF I EMBRACE LOVE I LOVE N EMBRACE I And LOVE EMBRACE I So come on, help yourself too. Let the words of I meditation create a wellspring of blissings and love. Oneperfectblaklove Warrior Sistren

Manifesting the Liberated “I”
So ones and ones, I begin here in this place, in this moment, on this paper, in this line, paragraph, and sentence and with this word: Liberation. My now has become more important, than my yesterday and even my tomorrow. This gift just keeps on giving, I tell you. So this transformation continues and will continue as long as I breathe and seek and need to break the chains that held and still somewhat hold me captive. My greatest liberating activity so far is freeing my thoughts. According to The Ten Mental Laws and The Power of the Mind by Barbara Berger, “Our thoughts are creating our reality”. Deeply I ponder the reality I’ve lived versus the one I was created for and should create. My thoughts, just before I act, are so powerful; they are the key to the ignition of the vehicle to life that will move me on my journey forward. Though they have such power, my thoughts cannot change Absolute Reality, but they can affect the experience I have in this Absolute reality. Yea that just got deep; and I find myself awakening, rising and cultivating the newness of life. So what will my thoughts manifest for me as I adjust my thinking and by extension my reality and my experience of this Life? I am on the way to finding out the answers to this. I already know I am free to think as I only can. So I have the master key to my possibilities. They do not belong in the hands of another soul. So now I choose to focus on keeping my energy free from static, the interference of external activities, so I can hear myself breathe and just be. In the silence of the soul, my own voice becomes louder than brass and tinkling cymbal. I must listen and respond rightly. And now that I am “overstanding” the power of my thoughts and that I am free to think, I am changing that thought process; not forgetting to observe the law of focus, which states that “whatever you focus your attention on grows” [The Ten Mental Laws]. So I focus on positive energy, in essence “cutting off ‘mi enemies’ energies” [KabakaPyramid]. If I never focus on a so called problem then the problem doesn’t exist, especially as a problem, no matter what anyone else says. So I am leaving behind all the things which will not benefit this journey and taking the building up of myself to the next level. I want my soul, my mind, my love, my “thankhfulness”, my essence to grow. As W.E. Henley so poignantly wrote, “I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul”. I hope you will stay with me on the journey, as always it’s just love till more time. Blissings. Warrior Sistren Cultivating the Liberated “I”
I used to write for other reasons but now I just write for me. This writing is not only in words, in ink or on paper but in deeds and thoughts. I am in essence writing my freedom, my liberation, in every moment that I come to find myself. My thoughts are completely mine, and the freedom to think, manifest and live them is truly splendid. The taste of this is like nothing I have ever experienced. No longer am I bottled up in the roles and definitions of others. It is finally okay to let myself come out and play, to share this beautiful journey to the awakening of the liberated “I”. My first destination is roots. They are deep underground, which is where I am planting. What more can a living soul want, other my breath of life, and to be living in harmony with nature. I am well. I am Life as I breathe, and consist in and of myself. It is one energy force of being that unites all existence. My mind, I hope will flourish like the trees in spring, and bud, blossom, and bear fruits of the knowledge of “I” oneness with earth and other creators. As creation exists, so I co-exist; and move, and live, and have my being. I receive the seeds and water I have received and hope to nurture that which I have been given so freely; such wonderful gifts in words and actions. However, I must not neglect to fertilize my garden to ensure growth and survival of the seeds. When the reaping shall come, may all be able to feed, and be filled by the fruits I shall bear. I give blessed thanks to the Most High for all the doors opened in my presence. I am so thankful and humbled. I am also grateful for this audience, for the eyes that read and the minds that consider these words and find in them something worthwhile which is equivalent to the time committed in effort and thought. My mission will come at a cost but it will also bring me closer to the place of freedom. Blessings, oneness and Love till next time. “The Rising of the Liberated I”
-November 7, 2012 So it’s been a few weeks and I am now more awake than I have ever been. I am making strides to opening my bottle of potential and making as best use as possible of the opportunities that are coming to me. It’s interesting the things you conceive possible once you begin to realize that the greatest limit is yourself. This process is just beginning, but I am learning so much about my life, as well as this cycle and season through which I must pass. The rites of passage and passing come like waves over me. The waters feel deep and my mind is full of questionings. Fortunately I have been sent guidance along the way. For all the indicators and revelations, I am thankful. As I rise, I see myself, a powerful soul. I am reaching for the things which appeal to the mission and purpose for which I was created. My mind is expanding and I am finding on the path, signs which I must heed to make this experience profitable. I would like to share a few things that have struck me like lightening: • Trust yourself and your inner voice. • We must each save ourselves. For too long, we sought the answer somewhere outside of ourselves. • Let go of fear, guilt, doubt and anything negative that will hinder your progress to your full potential. • Love Yourself. • Stay open-minded to learning from others even if your views may differ. • Never forget JAH (however you may conceive him/her) • Be at peace with and within yourself Many strides are ahead of me. I only want the pages to unfold to greatness but it will not be rushed. I must at times stop, rest, contemplate, then pick up and take another step. My stride is consistent and nothing must break my momentum as I stay on the journey to the Liberated I. More to come Warrior Sistren “Journey to the Liberated I”
“Study and examine all but choose and follow the good” – The Wise Mind of H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie I (page 23) From the moment we are conceived to being born and then exist separate from our Mothers, we are on a journey to ourselves. Usually we have an idea of who we are, what we call our identity. Identity however does not consist only in my DNA, my nationality or my birth/ given name. It is who I was created to be and will always be. The environment (inclusive of all internal and external factors) influences this identity but inside our consciousness we come to sift, separate, what we are fed or taught. Most accept the norms, some rebel, and some live the version of themselves they think they should. It’s a choice we all are free to make. Consider this however: what is destiny? What of a purpose? Should we be concerned with either, or does everything happen by chance? I say we should be, because each decision is connected, as connected as we are to each other. The journey to self liberation takes on deeper meaning as we begin to “overstand” that purpose or destiny identified, will result in purpose fulfilled. Coordinated actions interconnect to form a positive impact wherever on earth we reside. I, am on my journey, still discovering, sifting, organizing, deciding and choosing. So should all of us. We must endeavour to keep the mind active and open, to learning and “overstanding”. When “I” am found, the world will not necessarily make more sense but my being here will. If you have ever wondered why you are here then you need to find the answer. To seek is a verb, and to the art of knowing thyself we must all commit. For “I,” liberation will depend on my ability to diligently seek, and finally find myself. For You and I, who are on the journey, the discovery continues... Blessings Warrior Sistren |
