Survivor's Notebook: Day of Tehuti The Quality That Binds Us
Human beings cannot survive in this world alone. Our existence depends on more than we often realize. We depend on our communities and nature to meet our daily requirements for living. Our food, clothing and shelter, we do not create these things on our own. Even for us to be born and to be raised to adulthood took hard work and sacrifice from our parents and those involved in our upbringing. When we are born, we arrive into this world helpless. If not for the love and care of others, we would not survive 1 week.

Soldiers and Misfortune
Every human is born, grows older and dies. What each does during the time they are alive in this world depends on their perception of the circumstances they face. How the individual perceives their situation will lead them to make decisions based on the outcomes they desire to have.

An individual can be deceived in various way, even by themselves.
On the Ancestral Path - Ancestral Quality
As human beings, we are on a continuous quest to find an understanding of who we are in relation to the world we can see. This keeps us in a very weak position because the world we can observe, in and of it self, reflects who we are as humans. Let’s give some serious thought to that. The question then becomes how can we become more than who we are if our only point of reference is what we can see? This is the dilemma we all face and it manifests itself in the different behaviors we exhibit. We have proven to be a confused civilization without the necessary direction or guidance that will birth the quality we are looking for in ourselves or others.

On the Ancestral Path…Ignoring the Obvious
Why is the obvious so hard for us to see? Simple: the lenses through which we are looking at the world are dirty and need to be cleansed. The images we see are distorted, including the ones we see in the mirror. It then becomes challenging to judge the distance from or to an object(ive). It becomes a challenge to see in darkness. We may sometimes even see things that are not really there. The effort we put forth to see puts a strain on our eyes, so we close them in order to feel some relief.
