Between Earth And Code: A Tale Of Two Civilizations

Between Earth and Code: A Tale of Two Civilizations Life in the Bush A young man born into the rhythms of uncivilization interacts with life based on the order of the day. After rising from a restful night’s sleep, he steps into the surrounding bush, plucks a stick, and chews it to cleanse his teeth—an organic toothbrush crafted by nature herself. He then walks to the nearby stream with his water pot, scoops up fresh water, uses part of it to rinse his mouth clean of woody residue, and bathes with the rest. His breakfast is a fresh spread—fufu made from cassava he harvested himself, paired with a soup brewed from leaves grown just outside his living quarters. With his belly satisfied, he heads into his farmland, where he weeds around his yams and potatoes and trims the edges of his oil palms. From his orchard, he plucks ripe fruits. He inspects the fencing around his property, ensuring no stray goats invade his harvest. As the sun grows fiercer, he takes shelter and quenches his thirst...

On Great Men

-
Image
On Great Men There have always been great men on the surface of the earth. Simply put, great men influence the earth and everything on it—the seas and oceans inclusive. Males grow from toddlers into boys, then into youths, into young men, and finally into men. The kind of men they become differs, depending on how they’re wired—some become rich men, others intelligent men, good men, wise men, strong men and so on. While emotional maturity helps a man become a more refined individual, it is the continual exhibition of masculinity that makes men and keeps them men. Men fully embrace masculinity and the masculine way of doing things. But the masculine way of doing and getting things done can be incredibly tough at times. The world today is filled with hard realities, and it’s men who often brave these difficulties—facing tough situations, tight corners, and towering barriers—to create remarkable achievements. Men are seen as the dominant beings on planet earth. That may sound controversial...

On Life's Hidden Codes: The Frontend, The Backend And The Legacy Of Martyrs

On Life’s Hidden Codes: The Frontend, the Backend, and the Legacy of Martyrs Frontend, Backend, and the Dance of Life The frontend represents the visible aspects of life: friendships, successes, progress, and impact. The backend, on the other hand, comprises the invisible drivers: genetics, ancestry, and lineage programming. The visible results spring from these hidden programs. When things progress in the frontend, it’s because the backend programs are functioning properly. Conversely, if there’s no progress, it may indicate that either the backend programs don’t exist, haven’t been installed, or aren’t running optimally. Consider friendships, achievements, or career advancements as the frontend. The backend consists of the genetic and ancestral factors that enable these outcomes. When you don’t see the expected results in your life, it often means that the genetic programming hasn’t installed the “software” needed to bring those results to the surface. Where there are some results bu...

Between Climes: The Realities Of Migration And The Price Of Progress

Between Climes: The Realities of Migration and the Price of Progress The developed are developed for themselves, and development itself demands a great deal from those who dare to chase it. Those who migrate to developed lands from underdeveloped and developing regions often feel, in the marrow of their bones, the true weight of what it means to develop. In developing climes, the culture is used to a particular way of thinking—a comfort in the familiar, like an old shoe that fits just right. Challenges here revolve around communal interests, and every decision is weighed on the scales of communal gain. But in developed climes, the drivers of development are like engines roaring ahead—fueled by growth, advancement, and purposeful progress. Those who “japa”—the ones who take that giant leap—have seen a glimmer of light, tasted a sliver of truth. They understand that getting comfortable in discomfort is a recipe for settling for less. But what it takes to “japa” is different from what it ...

Of Dispensations & Evolutions: A Journey Through Human Superiority And Emotional Development

Of Dispensations and Evolutions: A Journey Through Human Superiority and Emotional Development On Dispensations When Jesus said that the least in the new dispensation is greater than the greatest in the old, he was celebrating the power of the dispensation itself rather than the spiritual capacities of the least or the greatest. The great prophets of old lived in a spiritually barren earth where accessing God was like finding water in a desert—scarce and arduous. But in the new dispensation, Jesus introduced a spiritual earth where communion with God has no restrictions and no hurdles. Back in those days, a zealous Uzzah once reached out to steady the ark of God, and the ark's intense energy field struck him down instantly. Today, many altars still have intense fields of energy around them, but they no longer kill those who come near. That’s the power of dispensations at work. In any dispensation, those who foresaw computers in the age of candles were mocked as lunatics and locked ...

The True Nature of Work: More Than Just A Job

-
Image
  The True Nature of Work: More Than Just a Job Working is not the same as having a job. One can work without holding a job, and one can be redundant even while employed. When things work, the economy moves, and it’s people who drive this movement. So, when things work, it means that the people behind these things are the ones truly working. Having or getting a job is not the same as working—especially during the promotion processes for those fortunate enough to be hired. Your work is a major determinant of your progress and promotion in the workplace. Promotion is never given for work that isn’t visible and measurable. All work is measurable and visible, though the visibility of results may not always be immediate. In time, good work reveals itself. When no work is done, there’s nothing to measure—and promotion becomes impossible. But does politics and likability matter more than actual work in securing promotion? A truly productive worker consistently achieves results that ...

Finding Your True North: The Power of Clear Direction

Finding Your True North: The Power of Clear Direction Having a clear direction is crucial in life and in any endeavor that relates to it. Burnouts and stress are often the result of overstretching oneself. While pushing one’s limits can be positive, the motivation behind such effort determines the outcome. Every record-breaker has built a habit of stretching themselves beyond their comfort zone—yet they often don’t experience burnout because of the powerful motivations driving them. Typically, when someone sees superior products in the marketplace and realizes their own skills can’t consistently produce such top-tier results, they may compensate by overstretching themselves. Unfortunately, this kind of compensation usually leads to burnout and stress. Some people can thrive on just 5 to 6 hours of sleep per night, even though modern doctors recommend eight hours. How is it possible to survive on so little sleep? It’s simple: these individuals are so passionate about what they do that t...
