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

History Lesson | How Time Is Abused To Confuse Views
Unity Consciousness #2428

.

(9avj of 11)

Let's just say all people live to be 100 years old. Nobody discusses or recounts their lives day by day or year by year, not even when they write an autobiography. They recount the story of their lives according to some combination of what they think is important, what they want you know and what you need to know. Yet they don't tell you everything and nobody wants to hear everything. Neither the speaker or listener or writer or reader has time for that.
100 years of personal living is 36,500 days. It sounds like a lot, but isn't in terms of the age of everything else and in terms of time itself.

So now we move from individual considerations of time and move to how we view time when thinking of families and other collectives such as “races” and nations. Nobody recounts this history day by day or year by year or decade by decade, no not even for infant countries such as the USA.
So why would we think we are going to find information that tells us the history of any human group and all the places they've been, all the names they've used and all the major events that answer all the questions we have?
Yet, what I continue to find, even in the more reliable historical accounts, is the notion that if humans can't find it or verify it, then it didn't happen or conclusions are unreliable. This logic is especially used when there are gaps in the historical record, which there always are, to answer a question about humans, their origins, names, locations, culture, events, family mixture and so on.

Because we humans don't have something in our hands, doesn't mean it didn't happen. That's like saying if we don't see it, it didn't happen. Yet we've failed to use other senses. We also fail to use other “ways of knowing.” It's like saying there's no fire because we can't see it, yet we are ignoring the smell.
We already know how much better off we are when we simultaneously use sight, sound, smell and that sixth sense of spiritual intuition. Yet we go around each day of life using one way of knowing.

To say something didn't happen in history because we can't verify it is like saying a tree fell in the forest and no human that we know of was around, and we can't find anything written down to explain what happened, so it's speculative to say the tree made a sound. This is what far too many recounters of history state when they've reached the limitations of one way of knowing.

Current humans have been around at least 400,000 years. That's 146 million days, 40,000 decades, 4,000 centuries, 400 millennia and 16 great years. Try telling that story. And we're not talking about one human, but millions of human families and all their transformations and reconfigurations.
Try understanding all that based the last humans to arrive to the party to tell you about the party from start to finish and the best they can do is try to gather the story long after the party's over and memories are blurred and witnesses can't be found.
Plus, for the most part, we have been relying on lying white wash hogwash humans and miseducated humans running around with artifacts and bones and carbon dating and wild estimations, that when compiled across all disciplines show wild contradictions regarding their understandings of life and existence.

Do we really need to know step by step how humans happened to be this or that or end up here or there or get such and such a name in order to know basic truths and basic truths about something else and basic truths about self? Hell, we still don't even understand our own bodies that we each have had second by second experience with. We gotta go ask somebody else what's going on. Yet we know how to take care of ourselves.
Come on now. Quit allowing yourself to use and abuse time in such a way that keeps you confined in spirit, soul, body, emotion and mind.
When all else fails, you are the historical record. Know yourself and then you will know all else. The more you know yourself, the more you will know all else.
Think about it. Even if we tried to summarize the history of one human branch using 16 great years as the basis for sixteen chapters, do you know how difficult that would be? A sufficient summary would require each chapter to be told in hundreds of books just to summarize what took place during a 25,920 year period.
So consider the context of the information you've been taught all your life and that you are still encountering that presents itself as the topmost authority on a subject. Don't fall for that abuse of space, time and mind.
Stop thinking the length of time and the supposed absence of evidence are adequate reasons, explanations and excuses for believing whatever the hell you want to or is sufficient for not knowing something you want to know, need to know, should know and must know in order to grow.
If the reasons in the previous sentence were valid then there's no way to know much about earth and definitely then there is no way to know any god or know the history of anything.

Tell me one thing where the historical record is complete and in the form we are satisfied with? Hell even the history of a 300 to 500 year old USA is so varied that you'd be hard pressed to find and connect all the dots. Yet, because we are living much closer to the existence of the USA, we believe more of its historical accounts even though a lot of it is unreliable. We accept this history more than we do earlier histories, even though we fail to verify the history of the USA and simply accept what someone has said.

One way of knowing history is through the use of cycles and patterns of human behavior of spirit motion.

Length of time and absence of known or shown physical evidence, doesn't give us a time out to not use the rest of our sensing abilities and multiple ways of knowing.

Think about all the days of your life. How many times and when was the last time you've heard or thought about “multiple ways of knowing?” You're not taught that for the same reason a car salesman doesn't talk about cars they don't sell. You are not taught about multiple ways of knowing because your society wants you to buy what they are selling.
Multiple ways of knowing is what the true definition of science is about.
Multiple ways of knowing is the basis of imagination and wonder.
No wonder we're confused. We blunder because we don't use enough wonder. Thus we don't use enough ways of knowing to know what is contained in the collective composite historical record. This is what happens when we rely too much on being educated and not enough on being self-educated.
