The Cookout

[Blackgravity]

What trend do you want to see die ASAP?

I hate trying to scroll through IG and seeing (mostly females) people doing some stupid dance to some irritating song for 10 seconds. They are usually trying to bounce their (.) v(.) and ars for the camera, it's old and obnoxious... Seriously.
It's worse when grown people do it...

What trend irritates TF out of you?

I agree with you on this. It really bothers me that black people are spending so much time literally dancing a jig. It is sad that half of the people doing it are 35+. Too many young girls that should be discreet about themselves, however they are not. It is very dangerous.

A lot of older women are stunted in their growth, therefore not teaching the younger generations of girls what's important. What's important is dignity, family, trust, and intelligence to name a few. It's okay to have fun, but fun, like anything you do, comes with consequences. A lot of these women and guys will regret embarrassing themselves at one point or another.

I used to live in a city called Breda, The Netherlands. Our Dutch neighbors would be naked all the time. If you went to "The Super", that's like the Walmart there. When you are checking out, where American stores keep the tabloids, that is where the nudie magazines were. I walked around for months with a tent until it was normal for me.

Now that I'm older, I see the IG models as meh, so she's plopping them out again. I need to hear her speak and get into her head a little bit.

I only like Black Women so the following video is no shade on Black women but if they are like that, I'm instantly annoyed.

 

[sourgrapes]

There are too many stupid social trends that need to end. People have become parrots at this point copy-pasting each other for clicks and attention online. I grew up on the internet so I remember a time when none of this was an issue. There were no blurred lines between art, entertainment, and straight pornography. Now there is. Then you have the stupid dance trends, the stupid challenges, the prank videos... I am too old for all this mess.

 

[lexodyssey]

I'm so over all of the dance tends. None of them are unique and the videos are usually really cringey. I can't imagine setting a camera up and dancing in front of it to some stupid song lol

This shit is huge too that milk crate challenge was terrible. Saw some old people out doing that shit instead of guiding the youth and telling them to be safe.

Black women, and people suffer from various extreme social disorders. I don't think we are even close to understanding what we see, feel, and do. This happens when you are not treated and seen as human. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

When you have a lack of knowledge outside of your daily tasks, and your language is limited to the people you're around, it is difficult to express yourself to people outside of your day to day reality. These women do not deal with many people outside of their community. It is very sad and hard to look at these women behave this way.

We'll also have to discuss at some point how black women have been masculinized by society, and how black people and women perpetuate it.

Not interested in those type of chicks, and I need subtitles for some of their narrative.

When we Love them, unconditionally.

 

[TheHarmattan]

When we Love them, unconditionally.

Loving someone unconditionally is not unconditional approval of what they do. I love drug addicts. I bought breakfast for one this morning. She was looking like death. She ate that food and was really thankful.

You won't see me helping her inject herself with that poison and I will always speak about drugs in a negative fashion.

I love gay people. I'm not going to open a gay club so they can prance on a dance floor.

Christ Loved all of us enough to literally die for us. Do you think He's going to tolerate foolishness (sin)?

I agree though I would argue, approval is irrelevant. It's like approving or disapproving of a lion roaring.

No one can behave above their consciousness and everyone is doing the best they can with their level of consciousness at all times. (Brace for different interpretation) that's what Christ died for, to show us that we cannot sin. Of course, that doesn't mean you join in behaviors that are not a match for you.

You told me earlier that you haven't read The Bible. What you are saying is directly contradicting. You have natural law that was designed for you. Not wanting to recognize that law is the biggest problem.

Think of it this way. I cannot be ticketed for speeding if there isn't a speeding sign, right? Wrong. Even if there isn't a sign, you must always drive at a safe speed.

Think about Cain killing his brother Abel. At that time, God hadn't issued the 10 Commandments. So, how could Cain be punished? The Bible says Cain's countenance "fell". That's the innermost conflict that you know you did something wrong.

I don't know what you believe but many things that you preach isn't even close to anything that I have read in the Bible.

So be it.

I have not read it, but I have learned to recontextualize ideas from it on the basis of one main principle, God isn't separate from us, He/It is everything there is which makes us, Him. God cannot sin so nor can we.

It sounds like, "oh, that means I can steal, kill and rob" on the surface. But if a person really knew that everyone was them, why would they ever want to harm themselves?

I'm not familiar with the Cain and Abel story, but if he killed his brother, I'd say his countenance fell because on some level, he recognized he just killed himself in a different body. Sounds like a "we are all one" lesson. Like when Jesus said, "forgive them father, for they know not what they do." His murderers were hurting themselves but they didn't know it. Causing suffering to others simultaneously causes suffering to us. We know that from living but we often don't recognize it..

I believe God is reality itself.

I think we have found our understanding.

Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
Isaiah 46:9

So God said He's Holy and none can be like Him. So, you seem to contradict (recontextialized) His Words into something that's the complete opposite of what He Said.

As far as you believing that God is in all of us, you are half right.

Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man *became* a living being.
Genesis 2:7

All it's saying is that God equipped you to live in the space that He created. When was the last time you consciously thought about you breathing? Do you think about breathing when you sleep? That's the automatic life that you're being given.

When you say, God, it's very clear that you are talking about someone)something else. Why do you choose that same word to describe your belief? Is it purposeful confusion?

There is only one and no other reality. I don't really see the contradiction that you do.

I believe God is not only breathing me, he is living me. Everything is automatic. I don't actually know how my body does anything.

I use God, the universe, reality. Just different words for the same thing. The word "God" is kind of the flavor of the month. I'm actually talking about the same God that you are because there is only one. We just have different conceptual knowledge of this entity that is beyond concepts.

My concept is only what He has chosen to reveal about Himself. You're telling me things that cannot be substantiated. Furthermore the things that you do say are in direct contradiction. Do you win or does The Bible win? That was a rhetorical question...

I'm telling you things that can be substantiated in your direct experience as in how you will come to know the truth of what I say will come through 1st hand knowledge. As you describe, He will reveal it to you.

What are the contradictions? You may be seeing a paradox that I am not seeing any more. Like, the son and the father being one. I speak of God as separate while I know that I am it. We are one, The Father (Reality, God, Universe) and the son (me)..

We are literally saying the same thing, differently. Just different conceptualizations.

We are literally saying the same thing, differently. Just different conceptualizations.

First let me deny that we are not saying the same things differently. I have only addressed the contradiction and I said nothing about a paradox. I partially understand your avoidance for convention. You have redefined the basic conventional meaning of words that you perceive have value. I have not changed my posts but look at how I say God and then the post that you wrote in response has the name: "reality", as definitive of the God.

So, I think I have firmly isolated your flaw in understanding due to the facts that you like to redefine established words to suit your means. And that is the key to how you are being deceived by that entity that controls you.

Secondly, you tell me that things can be substantiated with experiences alone without the replication and demonstration. Without the last two of the former example, nothing can be defined.

You're playing a game of redefining conventional notions and you think you "have it". This is literal madness.

 

[Czharcus]

Secondly, you tell me that things can be substantiated with experiences alone without the replication and demonstration. Without the last two of the former example, nothing can be defined.

I never said it couldn't be replicated. Anyone and everyone can replicate it. It's I been replicated many times throughout history. I'm not repeating anything new or that I made up myself. It's taken me all my life to recognize this truth and I am still a child in the game vs. people like Jesus, Buddha or even Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie or Mooji.

You ever heard of Spiral Dynamics?

No, I have not heard of Spiral Dynamics. Is it relevant to the truth? Have you heard of Hypostatic Union? If you have then how come you list Jesus amongst a group that relies on the opposite nomenclature?

 

[Czharcus]

It is relevant to the truth. It's a model of human consciousness. We move through/up the stages to fully realize the nature of God.

I've never heard of Hypostatic Union so i'm not quite sure what you mean in the context of your question, but from what I just read it is a term meaning the oneness of a single human and God.

That is generally the snag I run into with myself on this journey and run into when I have conversations about this with people. It's difficult for us to believe that we are the son the Bible was talking about. Jesus was 1 of us at the top stage of Spiral Dynamics, when you become fully self-aware, conscious of your oneness with God and everyone else.

I'll study the relational context of Spiral Dynamics. Give me some time.

When you mentioned Jesus in the same line as Budda, you didn't take into consideration that no person in the list can actually be what Christ is. It's very complex but simple at the same time.

I highly recommend an honest look at Spiral Dynamics. The model gives such good insight into how our consciousness develops.

Everybody can be who Christ is. We are one with him. He knew that. He is us at a stage of consciousness very very few people ever reach. Buddha was up there with him. Sure, every human is a different expression of God that is one-of-a-kind in eternity but we are all one with the same source. The light that animates each of us is the very same light. The universe/reality that encapsulates each of us is the very same universe/reality.

When we talk about Jesus or the Buddha, we're talking about enlightened versions of us who woke up to the oneness of all there is.

Sounds good. I noticed that SD has a business vector to it.
