One of the soul-centered Archetypal Energies that we can all access, if we allow ourselves to do so, is what is called Vision.  As an Archetypal Energy, Vision is an energy aspect of authentic essence or a soul quality that nurtures the birth of and supports all seed thoughts for manifestation, seeing, and synthesizing all relevant energies that may be desired and/or required for a creative enterprise.  In this light, Vision functions to give birth to and to support one’s creative imagination and is thus seen as one of the principle underlying energies that is important to tap and to use in accord with the art of manifestation.  Vision also gives a person a sense of destiny and meaning. Throughout the centuries, therefore, many Black men have had to and have been able to tap in their Vision(s).  To shed the shackles of systemic racism, they have called up their Vision to see beyond the shackles of systemic racism, to invent things for the common good, to become activists in the community, to create art and songs that nurture themselves and others, to stimulate and engage others in critical thinking in educational settings and non-educational settings to broaden perspectives.  The purpose of this session, therefore, is to have a conversation with some Black men who use Vision for their unique work in the world.  This conversation may also be viewed as an aspirational conversation about the future, as viewed through the lens of some Black men conceived of as “All in the Family.”
