Shared consciousness and MLK

    You ever been in a situation where people are having fun, and there's somebody not enjoying themselves (or who has the perception they're not enjoying themselves) -> Then some of the people who are having fun become emotionally agitated by their presence, turning on them or even insulting them?

"Why's he/she so serious"

 
"They're ruining my vibe"

 
"They won't change my opinion"

 
    They'll bombard that person with a barrage of negative attention but never directly engage with them or ask them what's wrong.

    I believe that shared consciousness is real, and that malicious intent and selfish intent within that shared pool holds less potency than morally upright and altruistic thinking. The latter serves as a constant interrupter, bringing forth emotions and accountability that one may not want to deal with at the moment. It thrusts it to the front of the individual mind like "you're going to deal with me!!" Some people get offended by that and react in a number of ways: aggression, mockery, etc. This shared consciousness process becomes like a tug of war, where the side of selfishness is often loud and brash, and vindictive against their opponents, wanting the opposition to not just lose, but suffer. Sometimes the side of altruism picks up this vindictiveness, becoming like an oppressive authoritarian in the mindset. But every now and then somebody shows up on the side of morals just as loud and brash, but without the vindictiveness, and they really become a problem to the opposition, throwing them off their game. Martin Luther King Jr is the best modern example of this.

Vulgarity

 On vulgarity. 

Removing vulgarity from my speech is not an easy task. Now that I don't use it in my everyday conversations, I start rapping and nothing but cuss words come to mind. It's like I can't even form a complete bar without cussing. Like I got a stash of cuss words in a bank somewhere, growing with compounded interest, run by the World bank of cussing, secretly funding my music. I am insecure in my ability to rap without cussing, at least for the first 10 minutes. Yet I find me cussing entertaining, so it's healing, so I'm like "should I heal with cuss words now" cause I will knock a n**ga the f**k out, the way n**gas been acting these days. See, I can't even keep it real in my music now. What I'm finna say?, that I won't knock a n**ga the f**k out? But that's not keeping it real! Aw well, to the cutting room floor. 

Thank you Rap music. I should of just cussed my whole career and made it big on B.E.T. Uncut.

The stages of spiritual knowledge

My take on the stages of spiritual knowledge from my anecdotal evidence.

Note, some people go through these stages faster than others, some may skip stages, some may combine them, and some may do them in a different order, or even regress. For some this process is tumultuous, for others, it's moderate. I don't think God punishes us for not following a set time frame, or order, but I do know that God appreciates one's effort to attain it, consciously or subconsciously.

Stage 1 (Childhood) - The default state of being connected to God, in which, society and community either educates us to deviate from, or strengthen.

Stage 2 (The Rebellion) - The period in which hedonism becomes important. Often defined by sex, drugs, traveling, dating, partying, accumulating wealth, "keeping up with the Joneses". One is often in competition during this phase.

Stage 3 (Opening consciousness) - The period of inner exploration, questioning, sorting out. One may have a sudden stirring interest in religion(s), history, metaphysics, conspiracies, or fighting for a cause.

Stage 4 (The Father/Mother as the Sacred Child) - This is the final stage, in which the knowledge from all previous stages get affirmed, yet become secondary to everyday life matters, both mundane and important. Also, the Fatherly and Motherly instinct takes over, even if one chooses not to have children. One often finds the serendipitous feeling of opening their consciousness in everyday activities. They become hardwired into the mind, accepted and appreciated without much overt excitement. Despite the lack of overt enthusiasm, the potency is just as powerful, or more. An activity such as drinking a cup of coffee becomes an affirmation of one's connection to God, and get's added into one's bank of accumulated wisdom. One becomes like a child again. If you've ever spent time around elderly people, you can feel their level of spiritual mastery shining brightly like the sun.

Peace and hope you found something interesting from this small write-up.

Movie Idea

Premise: 

A group of Scientists try to experiment on a Gorilla, and the Gorilla winds up trapping the scientists in the facility and running the same experiments on the scientists. 

Here's the catch: The Gorilla never has one experiment run on him, nor does he or she talk, or even use sign language, the gorilla just presses all the right buttons at the right time. Gorillas look like they always plotting something, and for an animal that can probably rip the arms off the strongest man alive, they move comedically lazily

I'd make it a comedy/horror mix, kind of on the same vein as a Jordan Peele film. 

Pyramid Theory

 My theory: The Pyramids were a conduit for psychic power. 

    This is purely anecdotal, because today we still don't know what these structures were used for, and how they were built.

    I believe the biggest quest of humanity is gain an agreed-upon moral code. Earlier in this quest, we didn't have such strict rules, opening the door to a worst-case-scenario becoming the norm interpretation. This can be based upon the evidence we have, as left to us by our Ancestors, in hieroglyphs and tombs, and in temples showing slavery and human sacrifices. As a species we had to fight to get simple moral codes such as "you shouldn't kill" written into into our laws ,and we also had to get the practice of ritual human sacrifice written out of our laws. Modern gangs, and the advent of modern warfare is subconsciously still associated under the moral leadership of a system that says ritual human sacrifice "is not ok". We can't imagine the rules and lack of the rules in a World that says it is.

    Lets look at psychic with an emphasis on the Latin root "Psych" as a basis for that word, or the textbook definition which includes matters of the mind. I'm not referring to the kind of psychic power we associate with in mythical portrayals, such as with cleverly illustrated lines, and figures like Professor X tapping his head. I'm talking about the kind that's cultivated. Explainable, but still tangible. 

    With the right promotion, one can give any icon power, look at the logos we use and what we associate them with, from religions to gang signs. Look at all the different shapes and how they can trigger an emotion by simply being viewed, because of their association. 

    Roll up on them pyramids back in the day if you bad. Imagine seeing those mysterious shrines, in their active state in real life. Think of the impact of seeing the tallest man made structure(s) in the World in ancient times, standing tall like a futuristic fortress, a perfectly aligned, triangular, smooth, crisp geometrical shape, one shining with a gold light, made even brighter at the top with a gold tip. This is thousands of years before BC, mind you. Consider the fact that only until the last 100 years has humanity been capable of producing a weapon strong enough to remove them, so that icon ruled symbolically, and physically as a permanent fixture of human achievement and empire. And there might have been more than one, considering the time period.

   Keep in mind these magnificent triangles also represent the dark, the light, the cosmic, the organic, the military, wealth, law, language, the "workforce", the scientific World, the artistic World, the human body, the mind, the soul, and even sex. That's dominion over every aspect of a person's existence, the literal result of a societal pyramid scheme, with an easily-brandable, indestructible icon to match. Iconography to the extreme. This is the same triangle found in every human-created, and organic shape in the World with Mathematics, in the Golden Ratio, which the pyramids also align with. It's also in alignment with the sun, the moon and the stars. 

    The kingdom of which these pyramids sat, were ruled by the Pharoahs, who were sent from the Gods for this very purpose. In his heyday, Michael Jackson had the power to make people faint with just his presence, voice, and moves. Again, I define this as a kind of psychic power. We all know the methods, talent, and promotion he used to achieve it; they're not mystical, magical, but they're tangible, and its results were magic on the stage. I think that's the last time we will see a human whose presence can cause such a visceral reaction from people. We also know of people who produce similar, but lesser, reactions, such as the Pope. The Pharoahs were the spiritual leaders of the Kingdoms, so they were like Popes, and maybe even the Michael Jacksons, but they were also leaders of the monarchy, ruling in matters of military, justice and civility.  That level of leadership opens the historical possibility of the Pharoah of the time being a King or Queen that's well respected and feared, or a tyrant, simply feared and more feared. 

    Back to the Gods. The Gods hold domain over the ruler of the Kingdom in which these mystical objects reside in. Some of these Gods are represented by people wearing animal masks, or are just animals. That brings up interesting forms of worship. Consider the likelihood and potential implications of people warring over individual Gods. The pyramids could have represented this energy. You may agree or not agree with modern religion, but ain't nobody dying over no alligator, hippo, cat or falcon. With the religious implications of the Gods in play. The Pharoah being linked with the complex would be akin to Vatican being in DC with the US President being Pope also. 

    I can picture the pyramids holding so much power, some people went crazier and crazier as they got closer to them. Others might have fainted upon sight, like one having a religious experience. Maybe they tried to absorb this energy somehow. The builders were probably years ahead in something we struggle to understand. I think it had to do with matters of the most untapped resource in terms of successful efficacy throughout time, the human mind. 

That's just my theory. God bless.  

Dent 

Still...

 

Still not for the s**ts. 

I'm not for a Militant solution, not just because I stand for peace, because ain't no way in HELL we gonna win in a firefight against trained racist armies and militias, ESPECIALLY not in 2022.....regardless of how many guns are out here, regardless of what people say in entertainment. We can't even come together at public event without some s**t popping off, like that's an admirable quality of a unified movement.

But I will defend myself. 

#BlackLivesMatter 

Love has 3 parts to it: affection, trust, respect.

Respect is the foundation of love. One can respect someone and not love them. I differ from the philosophy of "you have to earn my respect". I respect everyone by default. People may take actions to lose respect, but it's always there. For instance, I respect the US justice system, regardless of whether I consider the laws just or not. I respect it because there are legitimate and very real consequences for not adhering to it. 

Trust is also default, but its more limited in scope, and it requires going through more doors to unpack. One can trust someone in the small capacity they share, such as in business, one can trust that a colleague will finish their work, but it may not extend past the business paradigm. 

Affection, however is the aspect most associated with our modern understanding of love. Affection comes in many forms, romantic affection, affection from a family member, affection from a friend, or just emotional affection overall. I carry emotional affection for everyone by default, that's the essence of empathy, but it's shown and used sparingly. For me to transcend default affection towards someone requires a strong showing and feeling of respect and trust that motivates me to move forward. 

Love isn't all hugs and kisses or hallmark cards, love is also the feeling of working together towards a common goal for the goodwill of the whole. 

Love
