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

Seem & Seems Like
Phase One
Unity Consciousness #1183

.

(Part 9cc of 11)

Listen to yourself use the word “seem.”
In the background, you are using the word “sem.”

What are you assembling and disassembling?
Is it the total?

Is it dynamically balanced?

At this very moment, what seems right is turning slowly left and what seems wrong is turning slowly right, for example marijuana.
What seems good is turning, and so on.

First of all, based on our understanding of “seem” we tend to use it to mean “appears.” This indicates a thought process that relies heavily on the visual surface and/or a thin amount of information and/or analysis.
Second of all, based on our understanding of “sem” we are aware that the words sem, seem and like are the same words. Thus, when we use the phrase, “seems like” we are unknowingly saying “sem sem.” Thus “seem, seem” and “ same same” and “like like.”

Because we are not fully aware of this, when we use the word “seem” or “seems like” we are not aware we are comparing metaphors that are already the same in essence, just different in form. As a result, our ability to arrive at the correct understanding is impaired because the sem sem is not paired when we compare what seems and what seems like.
