Is Your Life a Favorite Song to Higher Dimensional Beings? | Cosmic Philosophy & The Music of Existence Join Joli and her special guest, The Kosmic Jedi, in this thought-provoking episode of "Your One Black Friend." Dive into discussions on collective consciousness, the role of nature as a teacher, and the concept of being "watchers" in society. Explore the idea of life as a grand symphony, and how we contribute to the harmony or discord of the collective melody. In this episode, Joli Artist and The Kosmic Jedi delve into the philosophical depths of existence, questioning if our lives are akin to music for higher-dimensional beings. Could advanced life forms view human life as unique songs in a cosmic catalog? Imagine a species of advanced, higher-dimensional life forms with lifespans incomprehensibly longer than our own, who have crafted our reality as a form of entertainment. To them, each of our lives is a unique song in a cosmic catalog of their music. Think of a being experiencing your life as you would your favorite symphony. Our planet could simply be one symphonic anthology within a vast, nearly infinite collection of cosmic albums. Can you think of Earth as a constantly evolving musical score, where each species, ecosystem, and geological event contributes its own unique sound to the overall composition? Picture everything on our planet as part of a dynamic, living album that's always playing, with Higher-dimensional beings 'tuning in' to witness the rich variety of melodies created by the interaction of natural and human influences. This concept mirrors Friedrich Nietzsche's Eternal Return, which suggests the universe and everything within it recurs infinitely. It likewise aligns with the Big Bounce theory in cosmology which posits that the universe undergoes continuous cycles of expansion and contraction. Could each “Big Bounce“ cycle be akin to a complex record playing on a device engineered by higher beings? In the future, there will exist a technology that will allow us tweak our favourite songs to fit our tastes perfectly. But what if a similar technology is already shaping our lives, used by whatever engineered or is engineering our reality? In this scenario, our lives would loop like a favourite song, with the device’s technology enabling slight variations with each playback, resulting in subtle differences in every cycle. This would allow for adjustments to our life ‘tracks’ during each loop or “recurrence,” in a manner similar to how you will soon be able to modify your favourite music to suit your exact preferences. Questions Explored: - Can our lives be like music to beings from other dimensions? - What does Nietzsche mean by life repeating forever/eternal occurrence? - Do beings from other worlds watch our lives? - Are we like entertainment to advanced alien civilizations? - Can we think of our lives as songs? - How do deeper ideas change how we see life? - Is there a link between science and spiritual beliefs? - Creative applications of string theory? - How do we fit into the bigger picture of the universe? - Is everything we do part of a bigger cosmic story? - What's cosmic philosophy all about? - How does the idea of life repeating affect us? - Is there proof of higher dimensions? - How can we understand collective consciousness? - What does it mean to be a "watcher" in society? - Can life be compared to a symphony? - What is the significance of being "out of tune" in life? - How does the concept of a hive mind apply to humanity? - Can our life stories be symphonies to other beings? - What are the implications of considering existence as music? -Can science and spirituality find common ground? - How are quantum theory and life's mysteries connected? - Are there other beings aware of us? - What if Earth is just a track in a cosmic album? - How can thinking of life as a symphony change my perspective? - How do philosophy and science help solve life's big mysteries?

In a largely deterministic universe where factors beyond our control influence our lives, Is anything truly anyone’s fault? Similarly, can we genuinely claim credit for our personal achievements or even our traits, beauty, or talents? Consider our existence as semi-sentient beings who have found ourselves in a universe where the causes of what we experience as life are beyond our control.

To someone in the future, you are a #fiction. Your entire life story could be told as a narrative work of art. Think about that. Now, consider this question: What if the very stories of our lives, the narratives that our lives often take, were actually conscious lifeforms—sentient entities with their own desires? Think about a personal experience that unfolded over a period of time. Consider its beginning—how that story or event was “born,” how it developed and, “grew,” and how it evolves and adapts with each retelling and re-membering. One could argue that stories are merely constructs—the meanings we assign to events being nothing more than labels or projections, constructions of the human mind. But reality has likewise been defined as a construct. As has the Ego—that which you identify as. In past episodes, I have asked, “Is sound conscious?” and have argued that there could exist entities that are only perceptible to us as waves of sound. Now, I’m imploring you to consider yet another mind-expanding idea: could the very stories that shape our lives be #conscious as well? YourOneBlackFriend.com

A slightly personal episode and a slight deviation from our normal discussions but I figured this topic warranted a discussion based on conversations I’ve had with a lot of female friends. Dating is not a level playing field. I know people want to believe that in 2023/2024 things between men and women are equal. They absolutely are not. Let’s deal in the reality that we are actually in, not in the world we want this to be. The cards are stacked against women and thus women need to move in dating and in relationships consciously, intentionally, rationally and with more caution. Some of what I say in this episode is a challenge to a prevailing narrative; a challenge to the Bill of Goods we as women have been sold and that many women are challenging privately. I think it’s time for us to start having these discussions more publicly. The primary audience for this episode is my wonderful daughter. I hope she finds it somewhat helpful as she navigates adulthood. It is my desire to be there to guide her through it, but if for some reason the Fates see otherwise, I leave this for her as a dating guide. If youre a listener who considers me a sister, friend or mother figure, this episode is also for you. I suspect men could do with giving this a listen as well. Youroneblackfriend.com

There are many “failures” on our path to success. You have to pay your dues so to speak. As it were, we ourselves cause our own failures when we allow temporary setbacks to crystallize into permanence by forgetting that “L’s” are necessary steps on the road to success. If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again. Youroneblackfriend.com

As a wo/man thinketh, so goes your consciousness towards the path you imagine. On this episode we explore the futility of negative imagination and how we can cut the habit and consciously redirect our reality experience. youroneblackfriend.com
