Today I welcome you to the Toast. I have been putting some serious thought into pre-recording the Toast, so that I can have a set time for the ritual aspect of what we do. If I was to do that I could preschedule the Toast at the same time everyday. I would like to know your thoughts on this idea?

Also a thought came to me yesterday when I was watching a video about Crypto currency. It was mentioned that the invention of the printing press was to the church what bitcoin’s creation is to the government. For those that don’t know up until the printing press the church had a monopoly on the word of God which gave them total power in west asian society, but the creation of the printing press.... Just tune in and get the rest. Here is your proverb:
“You cannot stop birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them nesting in your hair.”

Being broke is a difficult place to be. We get lost in the world of survival and we lose connection with self and others. We treat people poorly, we make bad decisions and we begin to hate. This mindset needs to shift. A great way of approaching life and getting back on track (no matter how far down the wrong path you find yourself) is recognizing the power of kujichagulia . Kujichagulia is a Swahili word that means "self-determination" or "the power to make our own decisions."

We have made it to Harmony and this principle is one of my favorites, because it suggests that everything is connected, and that there is no such thing as a coincidence. There are no coincidences in the world of harmony, only lessons. Everything happens for a reason. Harmony is when there is an agreement or accord. To be in harmony it requires consistency, order, and balance to be present. To be in order it requires actions. The actions of consistency, order, and balance are all the little things that we do daily that determine if we are growing or reaching our goals or not.

What is order? Order is the arrangement or disposition of people or things in relation to each other according to a particular sequence, pattern, or method. It is also an authoritative command, direction, or instruction. Order is something that we need to pay attention to, and learn to use it to build our families and tribe. The purpose(Nia) of order is providing protection. By assigning activities to various people within a group you are protecting yourself because everyone knows what they are responsible for, thus they are empowered. Also, because everyone has an assigned role, this helps to avoid duplication of efforts which again helps to protect the foundation.
Hold on!!! Enough of that here is your proverb.

The balance principle helps us to understand how we should focus our energy and determine what we should and should not do. The principle of balance helps us to create harmony around us by addressing our actions and their results.

Reciprocity is the principle of creating the network of value that we seek. One cannot develop a sustainable economic system of power, privilege and profit without this principle in place. It is a principle of exchange, a social norm that creates a powerful cycle of growth and liberation.

The steps that lead us into the world of righteousness would be easy to understand. If we agreed on what was true, and a system of morality that worked for us as a people. We have to start with an understanding of who we are and what we need, then we can build these ideas into communal actions. Over time through trial and error, these ideas will help us create a more balanced society with fewer problems. Building righteousness helps us to live not only in ourselves but with ourselves, allowing ourselves to embrace our divine nature.
