So You’re Living In A Simulation

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

How quickly we give up our peace in exchange for bullsh*t. In a world of drama and constant power struggle, could seemingly “submissive” acts be a true demonstration of dominance? YoureOneBlackFriend.com

In The Simulation, Life begins the moment you begin to own your godhood. Everything in this world seeks to bring you lower, wanting you to lower yourself. And when you try to rise, everyone around you seems programmed to pull you down like-like crabs in a bucket-to make you less than what you know yourself to be. What if the gods walk amongst us? Euhemerism is an approach to interpreting mythology that suggests that myths and legends are based on historical events and real individuals who were gradually deified over time. In Eastern Theology, the Atman (individual soul) is identical with Brahman, the ultimate and unchanging reality or Collective Cosmic Consciousness. From this perspective, there is an interconnectedness between all living beings, and the divine essence (Brahman) is present within each individual as their true nature. If we are in fact fractals of the Consciousness of our reality-the consciousness that creates our reality-then, much like a hologram, each fractal has the whole contained within.

Do we contribute to our own subjugation/enslavement by being complacent, simply because freedom may not be a strong enough motivator to change our ways? Are there stronger motivations than freedom? Do we actually value freedom? youroneblackfriend.com [Disclaimer: I am not Candace Owens. Nor am I conservative. Im saying chattel slavery is intentionally magnified and repeatedly drilled into the minds of our children like that is the entirety of African history, while our accomplishments are whitewashed, dismissed or claimed by Europeans. •• Considering the thriving of African Americans communities after slavery, and atrocities like the bombing of Black Wallstreet, Jim Crow, and other acts of American Apartheid, I would argue that the consequences we are dealing with presently has more to do with a systemic application of oppression by the powers that be and the continuous reinforcement or wh*te supremacy practices still in occurrence to this day. ••• The exploitation of one group of people by another has been a recurring theme throughout human history. This can manifest in various forms, including slavery, colonialism, economic inequality, and various forms of oppression. It is still in occurrence today, but in less obvious/more sophisticated forms.]

We all have 'red flags' largely stemming from the traumas of life itself. White it is important to identify red flags in potential partners, are we self-aware enough to identify and own our own red flags? In this episode, we will also delve into the concept of pain in relationships. Can you consciously “choose your pain?” Often, we attempt to shield ourselves from early-stage relationship pain by remaining in situations that might not be the right fit. However, by doing so, we may unknowingly prolong and intensify the eventual pain down the road. On the opposite end, refraining from entering relationships simply to avoid getting hurt may likewise be unwise. Let's face it, all human interactions, especially romantic ones, entail some degree of hurt and pain. The key lies in choosing your pain consciously, understanding that it's an inherent part of connecting with others. Youroneblackfriend.com
