If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

What Is Luck? | Dumbed-Down By Luck | Definition
Unity Consciousness #110

If we misunderstand what luck really is, our thought processes can be dumbed-down by luck every time we use the word.

Definition Based On How “Luck” Is Used

Something happening or not happening that can't be explained because there is no obvious immediate cause that can be connected to an effect.

Reminder Of The Interrelatedness Of All Things

All things that happen and don't happen are related. All things that happen and don't happen are the result of something else and also the cause of something else. This “something else” is always more than one thing. It is a series of events, actions, decisions, inactions and processes. Whatever happens or doesn't happen at any given moment was set in motion long ago and is affected by all things up until the moment it happens or doesn't happen. After that, what just happened or didn't happen joins all other things in motion to add its effects to the universe. All things are interrelated and their effects are ongoing. These effects can be altered by new events, actions and decisions but the universe is always forever affected.

Actual Definition Of Luck

The actual definition of luck can be stated several ways:
1. Luck is justification for not understanding enough causes and effects.

2. Luck is a substitution for the inability to make a logical connection between effect and cause. Luck replaces working backwards and thinking backwards to earlier causes and effects.

3. Luck is an acceptable excuse for not using logic. Luck seeks to explain current effects without accounting for past causes. This means luck is a dismissal of the continuous interrelated nature of the universe.

4. Luck is a quick attempt to explain what is not readily understood.

5. Luck is a way to claim to know the cause of something while admitting not knowing. Instead of saying “I don't know” or “I can't explain it,” the person is essentially saying, “Since I don't know and can't explain it, I know what, it must have been luck and that explains it.” In this regard, luck is a finely crafted piece of trickery.

6. Luck is a way to package misunderstanding neatly and nicely so it doesn't have to be looked at closely. Luck is an escape route from having to figure things out – why things happen and don't happen. Luck is an escape route from consciously dealing with uncertainty.

7. Luck is a bluff. It expresses confidence in knowing what the person has no confidence in knowing, i.e., “I'm not certain why something happened or didn't happen, but I'm certain it was luck.”

8. Luck is an illusion. To explain things as luck is the same as using illusion to explain reality. It is the same as counting on illusion and discounting reality.

9. Luck is a substitute for conscious proof of truth.

Conclusion

Luck does not exist. In reality, there is no such thing as luck, Nothing happens for no reason and all things can be explained and understood. Every cause leads to an effect and every effect comes from a cause.

If we use luck to explain away what we can't explain, we will end up being dumbed-down by luck and miss opportunities to train our brains to reach for understanding and grow in unity consciousness.
