I'm not surprised. Pythagoras was a student of African Spirituality, AKA "KMT Mysteries Schools."

Does illiteracy mean dumb and ignorant? If I were to go to France, I would first have to learn the language, and if I did, I believe my reading and writing comprehension would be sub-par. I'd still be able to think my way through most challenges, though. Anyway, consider this: we live in a high technological age. We don't even have to read anymore. I'm currently "reading" an audiobook. While Grammarly highlights my grammatical errors and poor sentence structure, I'm typing this post. If I'm using my phone - some transcription audio app could "read" everything on this page. I could write a book by recording and transcribing it. So, do you know what we should be concerned about with Generation Z and Alpha? Critical thinking, problem-solving, and accessing information. But to drive my high-tech point home... LOL Here's what "Chad" says: So yes, we can probably argue some points with "Chad GPT." This response articulates the skills we should build in this new age. By the way, this is an excellent topic, @Troy. After interviewing Amari, I believe we have an opportunity to raise this next generation of Black boys to be next-level innovators.

I understand this all too well! I just started writing for myself recently, and I haven't been inspired to do so in a long time.

Thank you @Troy . Yes, emotionally and classically speaking, too. I will add your syllogism to my outline. Some spiritual societies call that Field "the Net," they credit ancient Africans as the "Masters of the Net because of their deep knowledge of sacred geometry. And, of course, the smallest particle, the "Atom" (Atem - Atum - the primordial god ), would fall under the geometrical laws. Aside: I sometimes wonder if Brooklyn Tech is a "Mysteries School" and that we were "Initiates." So, look at that! I've seen "Ethernet" in my reading so many times but never made the connection to Aether until you mentioned it. I bet the developers subconsciously or deliberately made the "connection," too.

60 Minutes was my must-see TV, and on Sunday, May 5th, it will be again as I watch these two young women make their mathematical debut.

Many people believe Love is a verb—and while it can be, love is a force that is a noun. When I write about love, I refer to it as a force with properties—properties that connect everything in the entire universe. LOVE is energy that transforms and transmutes everything for its purpose. Love, as it is known today, is what ancients called Aether, God, and Quintessence. The symbol for it is shown above. Sometimes, when I write, I use the most comfortable use of love, but I'm referring to the Force (of which nothing would exist if it weren't in play. Still, I can't ignore the teachings and proverbs that return to ancient Africa. - "Love is one thing, knowledge is another,” a proverb from the Temple of Luxor in Ancient Kemet. Language is cultural and changes depending on the victor. Still, words matter, so I hold on to what is shown to me in my dreams. Love is not unknowable—it is just hidden. "If the Master teaches error, the disciple's submission is slavery. If he teaches truth, this submission is ennoblement. If I were writing a dissertation on Love, I would break down its properties ( i.e., what does it do?" and then compare that to something that has been studied almost out of existence and now is returning, "Aether." Now, because most of the time, no one knows what the hell I'm talking about, I begin with prompts, which are questions that will help me put together a mini explanation. Then I'd prompt Chat GPT since it's been programmed to recall most information in the short history of humans... Yes, I'm a nerd, and my "friend" is "Chad," and here's some of what "we've" discussed today about LOVE as a force... Written and Submitted on May 4, 2024. May the Force be with You!

Torquato Tasso, "True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does."

There are quite a few, but I think like attracts like. We tend to be in the company of people who are similar to us. I'm not surprised you know someone who can advance your work in other astrology markets. By the way, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

On the surface, yes. I'm discovering that love is an energy for creating something out of nothing. Nothing is as it seems. I'll report back with more findings shortly.

@DelanoI've found that AI is the perfect coach for me. Many find that AI, or large language models, creates more work for the individual and increases productivity. For example, I consult as a product marketing manager for a microelectronics firm. I use prompts for Chat GPT to optimize my marketing activities for every stage of product development. ChatGPT explains every detail of the product stage and optimizes what marketing activities are best to employ and the best metrics to use. So, in this case, Chat GPT is instrumental in creating a work product model -that I could follow -but it also helps me add value to my offering. I can do more as a strategic consultant than I did before. I think the challenge is for people to realize that AI is a tool that frees us to use our talents in the fields we desire. For example, if I want to build a hole in the wall, do I want to take the time to make a drill when all I want is the hole? Sure, that would be interesting, but why when I can buy one? A woman just asked for SEO phrases in the bloggers' helping bloggers' forum. She's not interested in SEO. She wants to help curvy women over 50 look fashionable, and she said she has a blog. So, it took me less than a minute to ask ChatGPT to share the best SEO for her blog—and then I linked her to it. Check it out here. https://chat.openai.com/share/9a0896be-45f9-43f7-b771-7dd42fbb4e84 For now, AI (LLM ) will help people do more than they thought possible. Now, when we get into Machine Learning and Deep Learning models - well, I suspect the same will be true - but it will leave out a lot of the population who just want to spend their time writing think pieces on Twitter. (Just kidding)

Understanding is key! I remember asking, "What is love?" Love is my earthly area of study. Have you ever considered whether you are here to learn something, and if yes, what you are here to learn?

Hi! To answer your question, I consulted Open AI ChatGPT. Have you tried it yet? Here's a link. https://chat.openai.com/share/9a0896be-45f9-43f7-b771-7dd42fbb4e84

Is it possible our journeys don't always require courage? Instead, we design our journeys to bring forth an experience we may have yet to experience in another incarnation. I distinctly remember wanting to understand the currency of LOVE. During those rough patches, I learned hard times don't require fearlessness. I found out I could be afraid and still do what's necessary. In fact, I knew that while I worked as a flight attendant. During inflight emergencies, I focused on what I could do to get the desired outcome. Even then, I leaned on Love. But I thought that's not LOVE, is it? So, when hardship hit home, I guess life showed me there was no difference. I wouldn't have had the strength if it weren't for LOVE. Love endures all and gives us the endurance to move through hard times. Courage hadn't crossed my mind because I wasn't directly experiencing the effects of the diseases—I was the witness who served everyone in the capacity the best I knew how. I wasn't always successful, either. My daughter shut down on me a few times. I didn't understand what she needed from me. I later found out she needed me to be in the moment. My mother accused me of treating her like an infant -I didn't know how to care for her either. Then I learned caring for someone doesn't mean infantizing them. Through all the fights, I just wanted to understand what I was supposed to know about the experience. And I found that I learned the currency of Love. So, maybe every journey reflects the level of knowledge you want to bring forth.

I laughed out loud when you compared Stanley to a "bon bon!" I always knew I had a crush on some boy or man when I thought of them as food. I remember telling my former crush, now a very good friend, that I would "Sop him up with a biscuit." LOL

Yea and that too LOL! Hi Brother @ProfD !

If I ever needed a definition of what it looks like to Love another - this is the best definition, "Caring for someone without expecting a return on the investment"

We all have this Spiritual gift. Some of us, however, are born into families that prevent us from experiencing it. Determining what elements I want in the dream would be like writing a story. I may have an idea for the characters or the story's setting, but I relax and let the characters reveal themselves in any setting they choose. I don't consciously decide the elements per se. - I drift off to sleep with a concept like the one I had this morning when I wanted to know more about personal stylists. If I told them what to bring or decided where we'd go, I'd miss out on going somewhere I've never been. The beauty of lucid dreaming is exploration. (I don't know if I have out-of-body experiences, but I do "go" to new places) The two "dream" stylists even brought colors that I wouldn't normally wear—but even then, the colors they chose from the lavender and purple family revealed a story. The theme of my dream was "majestic," which wasn't surprising to me because my last thought before drifting off was Meghan Markle's new stylist. Lol. Still, the theme was based on information I was seeking without using a digital search engine, but a spiritual one. You didn't ask, but if you don't mind, I suggest relaxing by breathing before you drift off to sleep. With your eyes open, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. (yes, be a mouthbreather for a few breaths ) Then, when you're ready, close your eyes while conscious of your breathing. Before you drift off, think of something you'd like to know the answer to but wouldn't ask anyone. Communicate the question to the DIVINE. Keep breathing while focusing on the information you want THE DIVINE to share. FOCUS on the DIVINE. Be persistent about not going into a deep sleep - if you go too deep, you will have a different outcome. (Nothing uncomfortable. But I feel deep sleep is for healing.) The most important thing is knowing you will get the results you desire.

What if, "thinking is overrated?" What if we're realizing it is feeling, imagining, and creating vibrations that makes the difference in this world. And if that were the case what would life be like if that was our operating system? Note: I don't have a clue. I don't know if that is an answer, but I am working on "feeling" deeply to change my part of the world. YES!!! How many of us are bold enough to stake a claim! Even if no one else agrees. I waffle from time to time, but once upon a time I took my meaning of life's claim from a song. Today, I still believe it. "LOVE is life and life is living." But in this moment, I'm only beginning to understand LOVE as THE operating system.

First let me share how I define Lucid Dreaming. And yes, I'm aware of my dreams - and I recall them and write them down. I had one this morning because I thought about how some celebrities hire stylists to put their looks together. So before I awoke, I summoned two stylists from my dream to get an idea of how I could update my style. I usually allow myself to do this often when I need direction or course correction. I hadn't thought about it until you asked.

Both you and @frankster make excellent points. I took a puff when I was a teen - and never took another puff. I'm like @ProfD in this respect. I need to be in control of all my faculties at all times. I don't even drink wine in public. Still, if it was natural marijuana, I wouldn't judge anyone who smoked it. I've always been able to naturally leave this dimension, but some people need assistance to with the connect with the DIVINE - so who am I to judge?

OMG I've missed you, the woman formerly known as Cynique @aka Contrarian A woman I used to be in a rap group with back in the early 90s now has a YouTube channel (Stephanie Danger). She asked her followers what name we would choose for our alter ego, and I decided on Contrarian. Today, I would choose "Neutral." During these last two years, I also questioned the meaning of life after my mother underwent major heart surgery and two of my three daughters had major surgeries, one after battling stage 3 cancer. I couldn't be with my daughter (thank goodness for dads) because my brother is severely disabled - and during my mom's treatment (I almost lost her twice), I had to care for him. Everyone pulled through, and by December 2023 - I concluded no one knows an effing thing. We make this bullshish up and look for followers to cosign our beliefs. The more believers we acquire, the more it becomes our collective reality. So, thank you, Contrarian, for remaining here in this dimension. I can confidently say that part of your mission is to remind us that the majority is nothing more than a bunch of weak-minded and lazy folks who chose to follow the beaten path instead of dazzling us with their Divine creativity.

Either Google knows this is my favorite site, or Google loves AALBC. Case in point, I was searching for the name of a filmmaker, and maybe there weren't a lot of results, but I can tell you I found content that I posted here earlier in the month - ranked on Google's first page.

Hey Brother Prof D!!! Good to see you! You know, we indigenous, aboriginal people never called them "white" until they started calling themselves white. We never said they were supreme until they began to call themselves supreme. Words have power. It is better to point out what oppressors have done to a group of people than to allow those offenders to escape justice by hiding under a term that they themselves invented. Check out what Indigenous Americans called colonizers - it definitely wasn't "white." One tribe called them out for what they did. And I agree with that as one way to keep their actions in the forefront. In my family, we describe people by the color of their complexion. And not once does "white" come up as a term we use. In fact, I just realized even my sorority sisters described my firstborn as "beige," to indicate she was her daddy's baby. LOL. Read my book, and you'll see I described my characters by their hue. But levity aside, my point is our ancestors understood the power of words, and so do those who seek to oppress. y do.

One of the challenges with this discussion is the talk of divisions based on skin color. White is a fairly new description starting around the 17th century. In fact, there's a video circulating on social media of an Egyptian man not understanding why Immigration wanted him to identify as white - when, as he said, to paraphrase, his native description is cultural/religious affiliation and then nationality. So you can only imagine back in ancient Africa, they would have identified by tribes/spiritual/nationality/. In fact, when I went to Rome over ten years ago, I realized it was a gathering place for all nationalities; Aset and Heru (Black Madonna and Jesus) graced the pantheon - even the Trevi fountain is flanked by Greek "gods" when you'd think you'd see Roman deities on display. But I digress. Further, speaking in terms of duality is cabalistic -it is a way to support the very thing many of us rally against, "white supremacy." - there's no such thing as a supreme color/hue. Still, we make it so by supporting the very idea of it. We are divine because we are created from the DIVINE, but we are kept from seeing it within ourselves because we've allowed the reigning plot to keep us stuck in the second dimension through the use of the language that I recently learned is DIVINE. Divinity adheres to intention. So, as you see here in this discussion, the victors take an entity with the same name - and then distort the name -and now, instead of a celebration of life - we celebrate death. Sound familiar? As we notice, this is what members of the republican party do today - "woke" that is good is "woke" that is bad. See what happens when we see things in terms of good and evil? Well, you know, because we hide and then get kicked out of the proverbial Garden of Eden with the illusion that we're separated from our DIVINITY. But if we look upon this or any information without judgment - but rather discernment (clearly perceive), it allows us to see beyond two or three-dimensional perspectives to become receptors (meaning using more than just logic but the six senses) for knowledge, not just data. Then, we'll be able to free ourselves from this paradigm to see and communicate with the WHO we seek.

Check today's map to see how close they are and then envision how close they might have been several millennia ago.
