Are you using knowledge or is knowledge using you? Using the Five Levels of Attachment for the backdrop of this series, I discuss how these attachments distort our reality. 1. The Authentic Self 2. Preference 3. Identity 4. Internalization 5. Fanaticism Level 5 - Fanaticism: At this level... "My knowledge controls my every action." Fanaticism: a rigid attachment to knowledge with an obsessive intolerance of opposing views. It is driven by the need to believe in something 100% even though that something’s meaning is dependent on the agreement of others. Anything that contradicts or puts into question the sustainability of the belief is a direct threat, and the fanatic will believe the threat at any cost… Prejudice, intolerance, and violence are the instruments by which the beliefs are imposed onto the dream of the planet. The driving force behind fanaticism is not hate or anger, but rather an extreme form of conditional love for self and others. This is how any beautiful belief in the world can become lost in corruption, as knowledge controls a persons will for the sake of its own existence. Fanaticism is the complete loss of respect for another living being. When we no longer see an individual as a living being, and instead only an idea or a number. The image of oneself can become so distorted that one’s own perception of their own humanity becomes lost. There is no awareness that a line has been crossed, only an illusion remains.…

Are you using knowledge or is knowledge using you? Using the Five Levels of Attachment for the backdrop of this series, I discuss how these attachments distort our reality. 1. The Authentic Self 2. Preference 3. Identity 4. Internalization 5. Fanaticism Level 4 - Internalization: At this stage... "my identity in the form of my knowledge gives me the rules and guidelines by which I live my life." Internalization describes a degree of attachment to knowledge where our identity becomes the model in which we accept ourselves. This is domestication through attachment. At this level our narrators have begun to set the conditions by which we domesticate our identity. They measure our acceptance and rejection of ourselves and others based on the beliefs we use to construct the mask of our identity. We will distort the information we receive to reinforce the conditions of which we expect from life. The narrators also serve our need to validate who we are in our personal dream, as well as the face we present to the world . Our knowledge is corrupted. Our sense of self is the personification of our beliefs and our will is subjugated by the need to fit in with the dream.. Thus our mask may not necessarily be in the form of our passion, but we will wear whatever mask we think we need to be accepted. At this point we’ve lost our sense of respect for self and others, and conditional love is all we know.…

Preference 3. Identity 4. Internalization 5. Fanaticism Level 3 - Identity I identify myself with my knowledge although I use it to see and understand the world. When it comes to understanding ourselves our identity is a symbol that can be wrapped up in an expression of our knowledge.. From the stance of knowledge identity is the grounding sense of self that allows us to have our place in the dream of the planet. It gives us the point of reference from which we identify and engage with one another. But this identity is a mask that blurs our awareness of the authentic self… An attachment at this level occurs when we identify ourselves with our knowledge.…

The race problem has plagued America since its inception. Some would say the seeds of extreme prejudice and dehumanization go back just over 2,000 years ago to the Roman Empire. In this course we travel back to 15th century Europe and trace solid roots of modern day racism. Upon completion of this course you be able to clearly identify the continuity and consistency of systematic prejudice that we presently call racism/white supremacy. This course is taught from the lens of a black man who grew up in the whitest city in the United States, attended an HBCU, and came back home with a consciousness that couldn’t help but notice the glaring difference between the two environments. For the past seven years I (that black man) have made it my life’s mission to definitively answer the questions; “What is racism?” “Why does it exist? And “How do we constructively counter this overwhelmingly destructive system? This course, Know Your Enemy: The Evolution of Racism will reveal many truths about white supremacy that have been hidden in plain sight, but hidden nonetheless. This course provides an education on Western (white) culture unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard. We will tap into the bare naked truth of the systematic oppression, subjugation, exploitation, and extermination of non-white inhabitants of the globe. If you or your organization are interested in taking part in this course email me at ypdevelopment2030@gmail.com | Enter "Course" in the subject line. In the body enter your name and number. I will contact you to further discuss details of the curriculum and moving forward to enroll individually and/or partner with your organization.…

On January 6th, 2021 thousands of Trump supporters descended on Capital Hill and stormed Congress like an angry lynch mob. A police officer was killed and a Trumper was shot and a few others were trampled to death. They thought they were going to stop the process of approving the electoral college votes, but they failed once again. Big sore loser energy turned into a quasi-insurrection...

This 8-week live digital course is designed to help victims of Racism become bold and confident by establishing a rock-solid foundational understanding of Racism/White Supremacy. This course provides a historical framework on the establishment, maintenance, and refinement of Racism and Racist ideology. You will be equipped with tools to constructively live a life of counter-racism. This is for you! The ambitious, open-minded, independent thinker that is dedicated to solving the race problem and/or striving to minimize the feeling of being a victim of racism. You recognize that your genuine concern and ambition to resolve the feeling of helplessness on this subject, doesn’t match the level of historical knowledge and emotional intelligence needed to consistently and constructively live a life of counter-racism. You have been underwhelmed by the advice and leadership of politicians, celebrities, social justice spokespersons, and other hired-guns that tell you what you want to hear, get you all worked up, inspire you in the moment, but leave you with no tools to fight the good fight when they are gone. In the United States so-called education system, most of what we've been taught about our history and our identity has been carefully crafted and curated by our enemy (colonizer/oppressor). Whether we would like to admit it or not, we have been directly and indirectly affected in a harmful manner by this faulty information. The KYE course is designed to equip you with knowledge that will help you to understand what White Supremacy is, how it came to be, how it works, and how it presently shapes your personal identity and our society at large. Once you take inventory of how you've been shaped and molded by this system (of Racism/White Supremacy), you can then take steps to rid yourself of that psychological poison. After you rid yourself of the poison, you have a clean slate to build a correct identity and live a life of counter-racism.…

Jane educated us in typical no-nonsense Jane Elliott fashion.

This a my take on a question Joe Budden posed on Episode 351 of the Joe Budden Podcast. He questioned how racial the George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests were since he seen police tear-gassing and using excessive force on white people in a similar fashion as they did with black people.

This episode was recorded Tuesday May 26, 2020. On this day the video of George Floyd went viral. 24-48 before we recorded there was the "Central Park Karen" incident. We went on to break down the Joe Biden Breakfast Club interview. Roughly 80 mins into the conversation we discussed to the Washington Post video in which a number of black women spokespersons made an appeal to Joe Biden to select a black woman as his VP running mate.
