Adventurous Conjugating Seeds:Nothing Ventured, Nothing GainedPhase OneUnity Consciousness #1160

(Part 9bf of 11)

Suboptimal Context

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Optimal Context.

Optimal understands the suboptimal. The suboptimal does not understand the optimal.
When we stand at the vantage point, where all doors and all sides meet, we are able to see there's plenty more to the above statement such as: nothing ventured, nothing lost or something ventured, nothing gained or something ventured, something lost or nothing ventured, nothing gained or lost; or something ventured, something gained and lost.
Consider the following:

Nothing remains the same, nothing ventured, nothing gained, nothing moves around, something goes lost, something comes found, I am the same, everything is different, nothing's changed except new versions of old game under different names.

Over the course of this safari, we have discussed several common sayings. The pattern (the rhythm of the reasoning, the reckoning) remains the same. Most of what we habitually repeat today as complete truisms, is truncated, fragmented, limited suboptimal logic that has us reaching conclusions and making decisions using significantly incomplete thought processes and significantly incomplete information. Doing so, trains brains to take dead end shortcuts that lead somewhere but not nowhere. It leads somewhere into the quagmire, but not nowhere lower and higher.
Put a program in a computer and alter its registry settings and, to boot, give it incomplete information to process, then see what happens.
Same thing happens to our computer brains and computers in all of our other cells.
The suboptimal context does this to everything it touches until the norm is reset to accommodate this weaker context.

Everything reproduces seed of its own kind.
Thinking beyond self and expanding to the extended self is critical for optimal mental health.
All computers need upgrading and maintenance, otherwise, will not function optimally, even while functioning. Being unaware of optimal performance causes us to reach false conclusions that our computers are functioning as best they can.

Venture beyond the current self in its current form.

Transform the stunted self through the continuous process of becoming more complete in the knowledge of self.
Conjugate seeds of self: The I am is are were was to be been being born again the I am....

Recognize the fact you already conjugate self every day anyway.
For example, someone asks, are you Usekhu, and I say, yes I am.
Were you telling the truth? I've always been honest.
When we or others speak of ourselves in any way ( past, present or future tense), we are conjugating self.
Consciously conjugate.
Venture and conjugate, conjugate and venture.

So many of us are seeking life and relationships filled with adventure.
Guess what?
You already have it.
It's just suboptimal venturing (behavior) and suboptimal conjugating (thinking).

Be more adventurous by conjugating consciously to get to know self better. Plant more complete seeds of information regarding self and anything else and more and more of all else.
Sow knowledge of self, grow yourself, gain and lose to optimize knowing self, sow knowledge of self...

...Amen
Amenet
Amen...

African Deep Thought In Proverbs, Quotes & MoreUnity Consciousness #720

.

(Part 15 of 15)

1. Spirituality is to religion as a field of plants is to a house plant. Religion is an extremely tiny portion of spirituality in a container of unnatural soil in an unnatural environment that is fed unnatural food unnaturally.

2. Humans are the Gods of religion because religion depends on humans to supply its needs. Spirituality is filled with the Gods of all Creation because spirituality is recognized as the source of all things that keeps all alive. Religion serves humans only and only some humans at that and usually males mainly and always does a disservice to Africans.
In other words, if you follow religion you are following Gods who serve humans only, some humans, males and who are not designed to help Africans. Religion is not for Africans (human beings) because a plant in a container cannot feed the entire person for life.
Religion is like an annual plant. It exists in conditions not of its origin. All human would die if we depended on plants and other things that were annual.
Spirituality is perennial. Spirituality is the larger context,within which, religion exists annually as a minute matrix. Life is created by and sustained by that which is perennial, including all that is perennial outside this Earth. Nowhere in the perennial nature of the universe is there room for the human image to be the long-term primary image of the Supreme Being.

3. An established tree never stops repeating the growth process.

4. Stretching for understanding promotes growth of the capacity to understand.
In other words, in order to acquire new understanding, you have to take time and make room in your mind, so new and old information can be processed in the same mind space until connections and ordering are complete, resulting in understanding.

5. As Maat is fixed and variable, structure is for rigidity and flexibility.

6. When there is nothing better to do, don't do it.
Find something better to do.

7. Popularity profits someone not you.

8. Go along with the crowd only if you have scouted ahead and can make it back safely on your own.

9. Understanding that keeps you from understanding more is not understanding.

10. The branch is more secure, does more work and bears the load but the fruit gets the glory. Let it not be so with you, the fruit of all that came before.

11. Anything necessary but undone lives in your shadow. Your spirit bears the responsibility and struggles to move higher under the load.

12. The problem is not being afraid but staying afraid because understanding stays put.

13. Fear decreases as understanding increases.

14. Fear easily manipulates belief because belief has more of a basis in hope, wish and desire; however, fear's bluff is exposed in the Light of understanding gained through multiple ways of knowing.

15. What you have to do is not always the same as what you're here to do.

16. Answers won't come unless questions invite them into consciousness and studying goes and gets them.

17. “The only thing that changes is who's got the land and who don't.” (From the movie, “Posse”)

18. “I've heard of sweet milk turning sour but never the other way around.” (Granny Clampett, Beverly Hillbillies)

19. A culture of enslavement teaches you to feel free based on the length and color of your chains.

20. Let your willingness bring you to the river of understanding and the force of your search will carry you across guided by Ancestors on all sides.

21. Those who are wrong, weak, immature or fearful, attack, especially sneak attack. (UC#651)
Those who are strong and mature, fight back against the systems that give rise to their attackers, otherwise, there will never be peace.

22. The right to do something bears responsibility for doing it.

23. Life will be different when you are.

24. If you're going to follow a belief without investigating its merits, you might as well pattern your life after whoever introduced you to the idea.

25. Answers won't come unless questions invite them into the path of logic and studying paves the way.

26. The best you can do is in genetics potentially.

27. As spirituality is resurrected from the grave, fear, to rest, is laid.

28. Figuring out how to do something is often the hardest part of the process.
The hardest part is over. The rest is process – applying understanding to process.

29. “The struggle is never an event. It's a process - a continual eternal process.” (Kwame Ture)

30. The weaker nature within self, facilitates discouragement. Your stronger nature is your source of encouragement. Be aware of your weaker nature but pay more attention to your stronger nature.

31. “When you speak of being conscious, do not speak of being tired.” (Kwame Toure)

32. The only acceptable tiredness is at the end of the day when it's time to sleep.

33. African deep thought was not just back then (UC#701). It has always been since human origin. It is ongoing. African deep thought is not a monolith to visit and admire. It is an ever-changing ocean and mountain in us, whose rhythms light the way for consciousness to follow in our process of again becoming One Light.

34. If it is appropriate to breathe deeply and feel deeply, then it is also appropriate to think deeply – if you are to drink deeply from spirit.

35. Understanding requires continuous learning. Learning requires an open-mind and willing spirit.

36. Everything must return to its source, its origin. Since we came into existence through stages and a succession of origins, so also is the return journey home to Oneness - through the Blackness of the Black Whole into the Light of the Spiritual.

37. Anything can change in an instant because everything is always changing.

38. A problem is an abandoned solution.

39. To know truth is to honestly seek it.

Expanded Definitions: What Is Money? Quotes, Proverbs & A Joke.

Basic Definition

Money can be anything that can serve as “a medium of exchange that facilitates trade.”

Expanded Definition

Money is a standard measure of value that makes it easier to trade different types of resources. (From ”Expanded Definitions: What Is Time – Money? Keeping Track of Time & Climate Change”)

In other words, money is a temporary placeholder for the value of natural resources.

Money has no value unless there is a resource it represents. When a person works for money, that money represents multiple resources (time, energies, choices, beliefs, values, knowledge, talent, abilities). This is why businesses have departments called human resources.

Illusions

1. You need money to live.
2. Money means success.
3. Money is evidence of the truth.
4. Money is power.

Realities

1. Money is a part of the economic system, resources are a part of the ecosystem.
2. You only need the ecosystem to live.
3. “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” (Dr. Booker T. Washington)
4. Success or failure depends on how well we use available resources.
5. The biggest part of how we make it hard on ourselves is to misuse and under-utilize our resources. In other words, you have not because you waste a lot.
6. “Power is not money but to define money.” (Dr. Bobby Wright)
7. It's possible to have money and still be in slavery because “slavery is when all life sustaining institutions [basic needs] are controlled by another group.” (Dr. Bobby Wright)
8. If anything, make money that makes you versatile, not servile.
9. Faith in money is a vice of the highest cost and ultimate price.
10. Money is a tool forged from resource, only a fool sees it as the only recourse.
11. Instead of saving money, we should be recycling money.
12. It's not possible to believe in anything greater and be limited by anything lesser.
13. You don't need a receipt to exchange a belief.
14. Money is expensive unless money represents the full value of the resources you trade to get money.
15. Wages are a wager.
16. “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.” (Proverbs 11:28)
17. Capitalism keeps you focused on its money instead of your resources.

If you employ your resources via true education - knowledge of self, self-study and independence of basic needs - life will no longer teeter on the narrow fulcrum of money but rest securely on the broad foundation of resources.

Individual Responsibility of Oil Spills

Oil spills are the result of just one of the practices harmful to the natural world. Whether we live near other waters or inland, we are not out of the reach of Prince William Sound or the Gulf of Mexico. Neither can we escape individual responsibility.

Businesses and governments are not the cause of environmental problems, they are merely reflections of the majority of individuals. Society reflects the beliefs of its individuals. These beliefs accumulate and spillover into larger society as the policies and practices of its institutions. When enough individuals change their beliefs, society automatically changes. Business will stop going anywhere for anything and using any method to get it. Governments will stop allowing it. Governments will also stop using common monies for its preferences. Individuals will conduct personal private boycotts which will automatically put offending businesses and politicians out of business.

Yes, individuals can reduce the negative effects of large scale disasters such as oil spills by changing their small scale, individual approaches to the natural world. Once enough individuals demand better of themselves, they will not accept excuses from companies and public agencies. There'd be a sincere focus on avoiding man-made disasters.

For instance, we require flood insurance for those living in areas that nature might flood. We should also require environmental damage insurance if any aspect of a business might harm nature. These insurance premiums would be collected by the industry and in case of damage, the entire industry would pay. You gotta pay to play and put in to get in. Although there would still be outside monitoring, this could make each industry mostly self-policing in terms of always being proactive about environmental damage.

Consider the following 12 quotes, proverbs, musings & reflections.

1. Take what's natural, take a part of me.
2. A civilized society does not bite the land that feeds it.
3. Smart people do not leave nature smarting.
4. A man not informed by nature can be many things except wise.
5. People that exhibit intelligence do not inhibit nature.
6. A high regard for technology shouldn't cause a low regard for nature.
7. Parents who mistreat nature want their kids to have a badder life than them.
8. Quality of life is in the ecology of life.
9. Loving gardening and loving nature are not the same things.
10. If grass grows in the garden does it become a weed?
11. There is no personal relationship with God without also having one with nature.
12. If not mindful of nature we are out of our natural mind.
