Yes your comments made me think that as well. You have this ability to be so wrong. While I may disagree with Troy, he's my boy. And even when other members insult me I don't generally respond. Danielle I have lived the dream life, did most of what I felt like doing and I ain't dead yet. I wish you luck.

You want me to watch a piece a theatre to see how real men communicate. Pass.

How many ways can you be wrong. You are saying this on Troy's site. That is one of the few Black own sites and is about expanding folk's horizon. He's been in business for over 20 years. He's actually tried to assist you in selling your book. How do you go to someone 's house for diner and pull out a sandwich.

You could start a committee to approve dating choices and friends. It makes sense to apply it to all people.

Back in May of 2016, based on Astrology I stated that Trump could end up being President and this would be the beginning of a tectonic shift in Goopolitics. Which we are currently experiencing. I was totally wrong about Trump being a better President than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

Thank you. My interests are thinking, Numbers, the Occult and the Occult properties of Numbers.

@KENNETHwelcome and your balanced assessment is most appreciated,

That's fine I don't require agreement, or even contemplation on anything I post.

Recent polling data documents Americans’ general opposition to reparations in the form of financial payments to Black Americans as compensation for slavery. In 2014, 68% of those polled opposed such payments while only 15% supported them (17% were unsure). More recent polling in 2020 and 2021 suggests generally comparable results; in 2020, 63% of those polled were opposed to cash payments (31% supported; 6% had no opinion), while in 2021, 62% opposed (38% supported). There are also indications that this robust opposition remains despite a growing awareness of contemporary racial inequality – suggesting strongly that a racial awakening alone may not substantially alter policy views.

@daniellegfny has there been any progress in the last six months. If so can you tell me what has happened. The late Congressman John Conyers first introduced H.R. 40 more than 30 years ago on the heels of the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988

No. I noticed that hasn't been any movement in regards to this for about six months. I also checked to see if any older more established papers had reported the story. Reparations is not likely to happen for more than one reason. Even the commit vote to "study" reparations was overwhelmingly in favor. The last time Black people were valued was during Slavery However if your answers is predicated on me reading a twitter feed of a USA Today story that's 9 months old. I understand your not answering my question.

I haven't listened to this but thought it might be of interest to some. BTW every date is unique and never repeats. https://pix11.com/video/the-numerology-behind-22222/7467652/

Why do you think this will go forward?

An alcoholic is a slave to Love. Anything a person can't do without except necessities like air

Can you elaborate. I don't get the reference or what this applies to that was in the forum.

I wasn't planning on writing one, it just happened. I wasn't certain if it would feel conversational to you, glad it did. I have been doing a deeper dive into the esoteric, and it is changing me deeply. My partner says that I don't talk much. Which is true but I feel as though I talk too much. Both statements are true. Well "cool dude" is name calling but I like it coming from you. That is the essence of spirituality and is a fundamental tenet of Magic. I meditate and reflect every day sometimes twice a day. What ever you focus on or contemplate is in fact your God. So it is easy to see what people worship. See where they spend their time and attention (tangent)re truly absorbed There is a practice from both Ancient China and India, I also believed some of the Native Americans may also practice it. If you focus on the Creator, or any non corporeal aspect of said you can merge with it. So instead of there being opposition their is a unity. Some call this cosmic consciousness, nirvana flow. et cetera. In this state of timelessness the physical world dissolves and you are well and truly absorbed... I have a few goals, to understand Astrology and its connection to the Vedas (Indian Holy Books that cover philosophy, healing practices, astrology, philosophy, rules for living et cetera. To stop thinking and cease talking.

Perhaps they can't deny it, but they can ignore it.

Another type of bondage. We are a planet imprisoned in our desires. The Buddhist may be the closest to the truth, honorable mention to the Vedas. Which also has some amazing nuggets like focusing on the all will lead to nirvana I agree, leadership by example, without the cult of personality. Sivananda was one such guru. He had a simple rule spend every donation on the day received. He was revered built a publishing house , an ashram and donated to the medical care all without any scandals (I just came across him yesterday (as part of my deeper dive into Yoga and it's 8 branches ( btw Yoga is a philosophical system that encompasses philosophy and morality)). One of the rare occasions where I whole heartedly disagree with you. I consider you to be a gift from the Universe. And based on the reaction of others I am not alone in this affection affect verb to have an effect on, to touch the feelings of

There are different types of boats, some races have a speed boat, a ferry, a sail boat. American Blacks have a rudderless raft. You are asking the better question. Have American Blacks done better even if it is only a perception when they had a leader. I think the answer to that is yes. I think every endeavor needs a leader or at least a mentor. My two favourites are Malcolm X and Gandhi. I saw this after I wrote my two favorites. Which is cool since it feels like I am having a conversation with you, at least in my mind (which is the only place the World actually exists) Prince and Miles Davis are my two favourite musical personalities. So bright you can't ignore their genius, alas I can not ignore their faults in the they way they related to both women and their bands. horrible person brilliant musicians. However that is often the trade off. With Malcolm X and Gandhi again possibly being the exception. How could descendants of slaves not have a slave mentality. Furhter to this point there are only different types of slaves. Unless your mind, bod or spirit are free how can you be free? It is a Herculean task to become free from the vise grip of cultural and or society. Which is why I like genii in whatever field they pop up.

It is the number value of my name in Numerology.

Your passion and commitment is inspiring. @Troy

I don't generally pay attention to these types of things. However in numerology I am an 92\11\2. I have experienced a couple of synchronicities.

@Mel Hopkins He is willing to go into a nuclear reactor and die a horrible death for another country. That is Love, it gives me chills just writing it.

As much as people may say they want to be free the want to be lead and be part of a crowd. Whether that be identifying as hip-hop heads, sneaker freaks, christians or outsider. Membership has it's privilege.

Perhaps that is the thing about leaders they appear and strike a chord precisely because people aren't ready yet in a sense they are receptive. Miles Davis was an amazing musical leader, and his influence extends beyond Jazz in particular and music in general. Other people who have that: Audre Lorde; James Baldwin; Harry Belafonte; Angela Davis. And Gadhi Malcom and Martin. I think Jimmy Carter leads by example but he doesn't have charisma for the masses.
