00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:23.440
Peace, peace, peace.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.879

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.440
Will you inform and inspire?
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:41.119
I'm the host and creator, Supreme Minded, the self-made God, Supreme Being, Supreme Energy, Supreme Thought, Supreme Vibe, Supreme Mind, Supreme Minded Podcast.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:51.759
Let's build Season 2, Episode 13, titled Childhood.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:57.119
Word up.
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.079
Peace to the Universal and Divine Trinity.
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.799
The indigenous and original man, woman, and child.
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.719
Peace to y'all.
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:09.519
Word.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:29.760
Cause they got us thinking us, meaning the culture, and they, meaning the Western world, and this matrix got us thinking that God, whoever that is to certain people, Jesus and some male spirit is the Holy Trinity.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.200
That's not true.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.439
Do your research, y'all.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:41.359
So you can be more aware of the indoctrinated programming we've been subjected to.
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:53.439
Definitely have to announce first and foremost, poetry hour with the chronicles of Ali is discontinued, has ended, is done.
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.439
Will not be aired on Supreme Minded Podcast.
00:01:58.239 --> 00:01:58.799
All right.
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:19.680
For you know, the opportunity to, you know, share someone else's creativity and or passions.
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.639
Because this is one of my passions to inform and inspire.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:25.840
So shout out to Ali.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:33.039
Gratitude for all your energy and your poetic vibes that you've shared with Supreme Monday Podcast.
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.639
But y'all, it has come to an end.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:46.560
So for anyone checking for it, will not be on Supreme Honda Podcast moving forward.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:03:00.719
Also, I want to let the people know the previous episode, bonus episode 10, titled 20 Cheat Codes to Life, was a subscriber-only episode.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.919
I dropped it strictly out of love for my listeners.
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.759
I need you informed and inspired at all times.
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.439
So I figured I drop that jewel on y'all.
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:18.560
If you haven't checked bonus episode 10 out, titled 20 Cheat Codes to Life, go check it out.
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.240
It's noteworthy.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.560
Get you a pen and a pad.
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.000
And you know, inform and inspire yourself.
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:32.879
So let's get into this.
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.319
Childhood.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:42.240
Childhood, part of self-childhood is the human life stage between infancy and adolescence.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:52.560
And adolescence, spanning roughly from ages one or two to the onset of puberty around ages 10 to 13.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:00.719
Although different psychologists and biologists have their range of ages to describe childhood in two substages.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:18.160
One is early childhood, which is ranging from three to six years of age, and another one is later childhood, which is ranging from seven to twelve years of age, or to the attainment of puberty, 13, so on and so forth, in some cases.
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:27.680
Nevertheless, it is a vital period defined by rapid physical growth, cognitive learning, and emotional development.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:55.360
Pretty meaning, pretty much meaning you between those ages, you grow significantly physically, you grow mentally, meaning you learn a lot of different things, whether it's school, your environment, yourself, most of all, and your emotional development starts to arise, arise, starts to come to the forefront, right?
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.199
And we don't realize it until we know what it is, right?
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:08.800
We didn't think that you know being emotional was in a sense a positive thing.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:09.439
Right?
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.040
Because being emotional in a sense is just being aware, right?
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.759
If you're over-emotional, you know what I'm saying?
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:41.120
And you allow your emotions to make you choose irrational decisions or um or choose to, you know, be violent in any sort or form or fashion, whether it's verbally, you know, verbally abusing someone or physically abusing someone, right?
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:57.120
Because our emotions sometimes are uncontrollable if we don't possess emotional intelligence, meaning we don't know why we are feeling these emotions, right?
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:10.319
So childhood to me is the rarest, purest stages of an earthly being's existence.
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:11.600
Right?
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:28.480
Um, it's where you see things you don't understand, you hear things you don't understand, you feel things you don't understand in correlation to emotions, because we know our feelings are interpretations of emotions.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:40.000
But if we don't know ourselves or we're unaware of our emotions, then we won't be able to interpret the feelings behind them.
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:40.480
Right?
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.279
And being a child is actually an honor.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:52.879
But some of us haven't had the ability or opportunity to live out a healthy childhood.
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:53.839
That's the thing.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:05.120
And a lot of us are grown adults with childhood tendencies based upon us not being able to live out our childhood.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.839
Some of us had to grow up faster, whether our mother or father was strung out in jail.
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.160
I want to say hereditary diseases because it's no such thing.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.759
That's another episode.
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:56.639
This eases specific physical ailments that weren't corrected or rectified at the right time, you know, pretty much meaning that, you know, the parent was terminally sick from some type of disease, and you know, wasn't as um wasn't an intricate piece or part of their child's life due to medical reasons, you know what I mean, and them just really having to concentrate on their health, which, you know, contributed to whether they would live or die.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:57.680
You know what I'm saying?
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.439
Terminal illnesses or diseases I'm referring to.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:06.319
Or some of us as parents or some parents just didn't want to be parents.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:16.399
They wanted to do the do, but wasn't responsible for what was produced or manifested after we had sexual intercourse, right?
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:24.240
AKA Sacred Energy Exchange, which is the acronym for sex.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.360
SEX stands for Sacred Energy Exchange, right?
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.960
For the spiritual conscious community, right?
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.720
Well, shout out to my true spiritualists, right?
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:51.919
Those that possess the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, understanding, and overstanding of themselves, their spiritual selves, their earthly selves, and the universe as a whole.
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.559
Shout out to you, shout out to wisdom understanding.
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:08.000
And shout out to those you had to leave behind because you knew growing was better than being stagnant.
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:08.879
Right?
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:20.799
And that's not an easy thing to do because most times the people we have to leave behind are family and or friends, people that were dear to our heart.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:21.679
You know what I mean?
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:22.879
So that's never easy.
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:30.639
But shout out to you for making that sacrifice because you know it was detrimental to your growth and elevation.
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:39.840
And growth is a part of childhood, right?
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.759
And sometimes we don't have healthy growth, right?
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:55.919
We're growing in a way that is not really helping us develop properly, right?
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:05.759
We're around influences, people, places, and things that aren't conducive to, you know, our childhood.
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.799
You know what I mean?
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:24.879
Like, for instance, certain households have, you know, a child that's the only child, or there's a gap in between the ages where you have maybe a teenager, 18, 19, and then you have a younger sibling that's six or seven.
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.399
You know what I mean?
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:42.799
That younger sibling that has an older sibling is going be is going to be subjected subconsciously and sometimes indirectly to things that aren't conducive to their growth, right?
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:51.200
Things that they probably shouldn't hear or shouldn't see based upon them being a certain age, right?
00:10:51.519 --> 00:11:07.759
Or in a specific age bracket where, you know, someone their age wouldn't be able to either interpret or understand the things that an older sibling or teenager is saying or doing.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.720
You know what I mean?
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:15.679
And even sometimes it's not even just our siblings, it's sometimes the things that our parents or guardians are doing.
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.320
You know what I mean?
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:21.120
Sometimes it's not our mother or father that's raising us, it's our aunt, uncle, or our grandparents, right?
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:46.720
And for the child that's the only child, they're subjected to grow up faster subconsciously as well, because besides them having peers around their age in school or in their neighborhood, their first line of instruction or teachings comes from the parent.
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:51.679
Like they're not influenced by other siblings because they don't have no other siblings.
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.879
So they're really influenced by adulthood.
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.399
All right, because it's you and your parents.
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:06.240
So you're, I feel like subconsciously you're you will tend to grow up faster and not intentionally, right?
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.279
Because you're around adults, you're not around your peers, right?
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:23.039
You're not around someone that's your age, you're not around someone that's on your cognitive level, you know what I'm saying, or emotional level.
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:40.879
And even some of us as parents and adults don't have the proper cognitive mindset or proper mindset, and or some of us as adults don't possess emotional intelligence.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.799
You know what I'm saying?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:13:05.840
So, you know, it could it could vary, and sometimes it definitely is complicated because again, the single child or the only child, you know, again, is subjected to things that are out of their control, right?
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.799
There's no other children in the house but you and your parents.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:15.519
So you're oftentimes going to emulate, repeat, and follow what your parents do, right?
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.559
And your parent is an adult, so to speak, right?
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.799
There's young adults that are parents, but they're still adults, right?
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:31.279
They work, um, they take care of you, they prepare your meals, they buy your clothes.
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.240
At certain ages they have dressed you, you know what I'm saying?
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:48.240
There's places that, you know, you just had to go because you maybe didn't have a proper sitter, or, you know, the parent just didn't trust anyone watching their child.
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:49.440
You know what I'm saying?
00:13:49.679 --> 00:14:10.639
So there's things that children have to endure that are out of their power that they have nothing to do with, is why it's mindful, why is why it's so important to why it's so important part of self to be mindful of how you conduct yourself around children, whether they're your children or not, because you don't know what they're going through at home.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.200
You don't know what they're dealing with at home.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:24.879
So if you're around a child, you should want to be on your best behavior, present yourself as your highest self, even if you're pretending, right?
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:33.759
Because sometimes we got to trick ourselves to change in so in so many, in so many instances, right?
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.120
And it's not being fake, right?
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:42.639
That's how you're able to transmute energy at times, right?
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:52.240
You have to figure out any way to convince yourself, to inspire yourself, to motivate and empower yourself to be the best you can, right?
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:59.039
And your mood sometimes depends on your life, right?
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:10.559
Your mood can influence you to make negative choices that could and possibly be detrimental to your life, right?
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:20.799
So your life does count on your mood, your movements, all right, what you say, how you act, all right.
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:27.840
So be mindful of your words, ways, and actions when you're around a child.
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:34.960
You don't have to know this child, you don't have to even necessarily care for this child.
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:46.720
But if you have the mental and emotional capacity to understand that a child is highly influential, then you should care.
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:56.639
You should want to be mindful of the influence you have over a child, whether you know them or not.
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.120
Right?
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.039
Children are like sponges.
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:04.720
They see things, they think it's cool because, oh, this is a big person or this is an adult.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.200
Well, I wish I was an adult, I wish I was older.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.879
I know a lot of children say that.
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.639
I've said that at one point in time, and then I regretted it.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:22.399
And not that I had a crazy childhood, or not that my adulthood was terrible, but it was the fact that once you're an adult, you have to take account of responsibility.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:32.720
In so many instances or certain age brackets, a child doesn't necessarily have to take account or be responsible, but that's what you're teaching them.
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:39.840
But they do have leeway or should be giving leeway depending on their age bracket, right?
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.600
And all of us don't learn in the same space and time.
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.320
You know what I mean?
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.240
Some things take longer for others to learn, and that's perfectly okay.
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.799
That doesn't mean anything's wrong with you.
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.679
Right.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:17:07.759
That just means that it may take a little bit more time, it may take a little bit more love, it may take a little bit more, you know, understanding and understanding for you to grasp the lesson at hand.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.160
Or sometimes we have to actually experience certain things for us to grasp the lesson.
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:15.519
Right.
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:24.079
Children are the purest, highest form of an earthly being.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:35.680
Their souls are innocent, their spirits are innocent, their minds are innocent, they're clueless in certain aspects to what's going on.
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:36.319
Right?
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:49.279
Especially those from three to six, seven to twelve stage, you know, they're really starting to come into and understanding like what's going on and or what's asked of them.
00:17:49.440 --> 00:18:09.519
You know, like brushing your teeth, washing your face, make sure you're washing your hands every time you use the bathroom and you come in the house and things like that, you touch certain things, keep your fingers out of your mouth, you know, wiping yourself correctly after the bathroom, bathing correctly, and things of that nature, making sure your shoes are tied, you know what I mean?
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.359
You know, your hair is brushed, combed, you know, things of that nature.
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:18.000
You know, basic etiquette and things like that.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:30.000
Um these are the things that are taught from three to six years, but from seven to twelve, I feel like they're they're they're enforced more.
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:32.079
You know what I'm saying?
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.119
To the point where you're making the child responsible.
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.839
They may have repercussions.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:48.480
I don't want to necessarily necessarily say punishment, but you know, they're held responsible from the 7 to 12 years of age bracket for their actions.
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:54.559
And of course, in the younger bracket as well, but again, every child's different.
00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:04.640
Certain circumstances call for adjusted, you know, remedies, you know, due to the circumstances, the child, the atmosphere, you know what I mean?
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:14.799
There's some things, you know, you just have to go about by instinct, how you feel, and things like that.
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.400
Either way, a child is innocent, children didn't ask to be here.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.519
I didn't ask to be here, and I'm not a child no more.
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.960
But none of us ask to be here, but we're here.
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:35.200
So we should govern ourselves accordingly and learn how to govern ourselves accordingly accordingly, especially when a child is present.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:20:00.400
Children deal, I feel, I feel like children deal with things on a more on a deeper scale than adults, so to speak, based upon an adult, an average adult has ex has the uh had the opportunity to experience certain things.
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:08.720
A child hasn't had any experience on anything, everything they're experiencing is they're experiencing for the first time.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.720
So they don't know how to react.
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.559
They don't know how to respond, or they don't know how to react.
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:19.279
They don't know that they should respond, all right, versus reacting.
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:28.960
You know, so and if a child has been given an example on how to deal with things, where did it come from?
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.799
It came from an adult.
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:42.480
So you can't get mad at children for emulating you, but you not being conscious of how you governing yourself, right?
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:47.920
And the fact that they're watching you, they're sponges, they're recording you, right?
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:53.519
They're analyzing you, they're emulating you, they're imitating you, they're following you.
00:20:53.680 --> 00:21:00.799
And this is not just from a parent to their child, this is mentor to a child.
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.240
Shout out to all my mentors.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.759
I'm a New York State mentor.
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.119
I've been for about going on four years now.
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:29.119
One of the most wonderful experiences I've had to just deal with different children and, you know, get to hear their experiences and things that they go through, which was one of the reasons and culprits of the creation of this episode, right?
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:37.440
Sometimes it's, you know, a sports coach in a child, sometimes it's a teacher in a child, so on and so forth.
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:48.400
Like children have to deal with so many experiences and people, you know what I'm saying, that they don't even understand.
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.440
Right?
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.079
And they don't even get the credit for that shit.
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:52.960
Right?
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:59.759
It's almost like once a child is here and we and we start to teach them things, it's like, ah, I.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.880
I taught you that shit.
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.079
Now learn it.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:05.039
Learning doesn't happen overnight.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.759
You know what I mean?
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:17.039
And again, in certain aspects, I should say, you know, it's going to take some time to develop.
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:17.920
Right?
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:23.920
And just in general, in biology, it takes time to develop with like a plant or rose.
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.039
When you plant it, it doesn't just grow because you want it to grow.
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:35.440
It doesn't just grow because it's in a proper soy, and you're a nurturer and you're, you know, you have a green thumb and you're able and willing and experienced in this.
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:37.279
No, it's not what it's about.
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.000
Right?
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:43.440
It's still going to take time and need your nurturing, right?
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:49.680
And need that proper soil and watering and time and sunlight, like all of those things it needs.
00:22:50.000 --> 00:23:05.200
But everything takes time and has a time and/or alignment process, meaning when it's ready to produce or be revealed or be in existence in a certain form.
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:05.920
Right?
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:11.440
And children should be applauded for what they have to do each day.
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:20.400
It's like we pat other adults on the back, all right, and give them kudos and uplift them and things like that.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.880
But do we uplift our children, all right?
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:28.319
From three to six ages, three to six years or seven to twelve years.
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.079
Do we pat them on the back?
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:31.119
All right?
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:36.880
Do we actually sit them down and say, I'm proud of you?
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.079
You know what I'm saying?
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.400
For just getting through the day.
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:46.720
Not even, you know, the fact that you're great in school, you're a great listener, you're well mannered.
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:54.640
Just for you having to deal with things you're just experiencing for the first time, that's enough.
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.440
All right.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:00.480
They get up wild early in the morning for school, six, seven o'clock sometimes.
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.000
Some are not eating adequately as they should.
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:05.920
So now they're going to school hungry.
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:07.680
So now you're frustrated.
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:08.160
All right.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:16.000
Then you have teachers and adult figures that are constantly do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that all day.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.359
Stop, sit, be quiet.
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.400
Like they're children.
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.680
Like they're not robots.
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:31.440
Technically, like that is like detrimental to their psyche to continue to want a child to be a fucking robotic soldier.
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.759
Sit still, be quiet, sit up straight.
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:41.359
Like, as long as the child is not being disrespectful to themselves or others, let them slouch.
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.640
You know what I'm saying?
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:52.559
Sometimes, like, I feel like structure does not outweigh nurture or empathy.
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:54.559
Or understanding for that matter.
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.599
You feel what I'm saying?
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:57.759
And a lot of us lack understanding.
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.599
A lot of us lack empathy.
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:05.359
A lot of us lack intelligence and or common sense because sense ain't common, right?
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.480
And our children suffer from this.
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.359
Right?
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:15.279
Children suffer in so many areas.
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:23.759
They suffer from their peers and they suffer from a, they suffer from the actions of adults as well as their peers.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:27.519
Because their peers, just like themselves, are watching ignorant adults.
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.240
So they're gonna do what ignorant adults do.
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:39.200
Like, for instance, there's a basketball tournament in honor of a legendary guy.
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:41.039
I don't know him too well.
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:43.519
He goes by the name of G.
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:50.799
And they have a basketball tournament every year in Albany, New York called the G Classics, right?
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:59.920
Where local vendors show up and different AAU basketball teams and just different teams across the district come to compete for a trophy.
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.920
It's a two-day event, Saturday and Sunday, just passed August 1st and August 2nd.
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.759
Shout out to the G Classics.
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.880
Shout out to G Senior and G Jr.
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:20.880
Well, I don't know them very well, but I heard a father, G Senior, was a great guy and inspiration to the community.
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.599
And seems like his son is doing the same thing.
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.880
Shout out to you.
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:36.640
So as I'm on a line at one of the vendors to get some food, I see two family members going at it, right?
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.680
One family member is a little bit older.
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:44.160
She was about, I want to say 13, 14.
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:46.799
Actually, yeah, she's probably 13.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.400
She's in my after-school program.
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:58.720
And then her younger family member, whether it was a cousin or something, maybe niece or something to that extent, was maybe about nine or 10.
00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.599
All right.
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:07.519
It may not seem like a big age gap or age difference, but in a sense, it is.
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:13.680
A 13-year-old, a 12 and 13-year-old nowadays, they probably smoking.
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:15.839
They have a phone, a tablet.
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:27.599
They're literally moving around like some young adults, literally, that uh, you know, in their late, in their early, when their early 20s, you know, late teens.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:31.440
You know, they probably got an e-bike, an e-scooter, things like that.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.200
You know what I'm saying?
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:36.720
So they're on the line as well.
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.279
And the older family member is literally picking with the younger family member.
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:43.359
I watched the younger family member go over there.
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:48.480
I seen the older family member smack her, poker, smack her, poker.
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.920
So the younger family member's response was, fuck you.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.599
She literally put her middle finger up.
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.119
Where did she get that from?
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:58.640
More than likely, that older sibling that's messing with her, right?
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:04.160
So I'm like, I'm literally like flamed, like really tight.
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.839
Like, damn, like it always be the ones closest to you.
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.039
Now, what was the purpose of picking with her, though?
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:12.640
Just let's be real.
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:23.279
You have your own friends there, you have people you can interact with there, not saying the younger family member didn't, but why do you feel the need to bother this little girl?
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:25.359
This is your people's.
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.039
What's the need?
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.400
So the young girl just gets ecstatic.
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:32.559
She can't deal with it, she can't deal with the pressure.
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.480
So she starts bawling, crying.
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:41.200
And she and then older sibling that made her cry and did all of this shit to her thought the shit was funny.
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.640
That's sad.
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.839
That's sad.
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:52.640
And then we expect that nine-year-old or 10-year-old to be caring, loving, and concerned.
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:55.200
As a young person, how?
00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:02.400
When my own family that probably tells me they love me, or probably don't, don't show me they love me.
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.079
They don't act like they love me.
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.880
You feel what I'm saying?
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.799
And this is an episode to come because there's a difference between family and relatives.
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:16.240
Like, all right, our hearts get broken literally to pieces by people that say they love us, right?
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:26.559
By people that we're either family members to, people we have dated for fucking decades, kind of find out the motherfuckers was doing us wrong.
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:36.640
Or from the family example, continue to do us wrong, treat us wrong, talk behind our back, fuck with us just for no reason, like the example I just gave you.
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.720
It really made me tight.
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.039
And I was upset about that shit.
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:42.559
I was building with the wisdom.
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:49.039
Like, damn, I just watched this girl literally pick with her younger family member for nothing.
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:53.039
She just was in line trying to order her food just like everybody else.
00:29:53.119 --> 00:30:00.720
So now if I went over there, pucked, plucked, poked, smacked, pushed the girl, then I'd have been looked like I was crazy, right?
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:01.039
Why?
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:03.200
Because I'm a big strong man, right?
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.240
No.
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:06.240
But yeah, that'll have been it.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:07.519
You know what I'm saying?
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:13.279
But why is it cool for the family member that's three, two to three years older and the same gender?
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:14.640
Why is it cool for her to do it?
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.920
I'm not saying it's necessarily cool, but nobody was around watching.
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:19.680
I was the only one watching.
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:26.160
And if she was comfortable with doing that shit in public, she does that shit all the time to her.
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.000
So what does that tell you?
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:34.000
The young, the younger family member is gonna deal with emotional issues, right?
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.759
When she's messed with, she's gonna be easily triggered, right?
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:51.440
She's it's gonna, it's gonna be hard for her to balance her emotions when someone is picking with her, teasing her, because she gets it from someone or a person that says they love her or supposed to love her.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.400
See, and this is where indoctrination comes in.
00:30:54.559 --> 00:31:03.759
Because just because we have the same blood, came out of the same divine portal, or you my cousin, or this, that, and third, don't mean you give a fuck about me.
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:04.880
That doesn't mean that.
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:06.319
So we should unlearn that.
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.200
Just because we have a family title doesn't mean you love me.
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.680
Unlearn that shit.
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.039
Because that's furthest from the fucking truth.
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:18.160
That's a whole lie.
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.920
It's a misconception.
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:28.319
All right, and I have an episode coming up soon titled Common Misconceptions.
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:30.400
And that's one of them.
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.440
That's not on the list, but I'm speaking on it now.
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.720
Family members are family members.
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.880
A family is a title.
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:49.279
A family member should act out what a family or what the family title actually means.
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:53.279
Family to me means love, unity, right?
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.880
Acceptance, understanding, right?
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.240
Humility, peace, care, patience.
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.440
That's the attributes I would like my family members to possess.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:08.799
But we all don't possess that.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:14.960
And if we do, we we're we we pick and choose who we want to be family to.
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:25.359
So keep an eye on your children, especially the younger and the older siblings.
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.720
It may seem like the younger child is always complaining and there's something wrong.
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:34.960
No, sometimes the older sibling is out of pocket, right?
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.559
Seriously.
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.079
They're power tripping.
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.240
All because the younger sibling has to listen to them, right?
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.920
So they feel.
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:48.079
But if you're disrespecting me, why should I have to listen to you?
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.640
Right?
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.920
Because if someone was disrespecting you, would you listen to them?
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:53.359
No, you wouldn't.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.079
All right.
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:01.599
So, parents, guardians, mentors, be mindful of who's around these younger children.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.720
All right?
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:09.920
Ask questions about who's around them and why they're affected by certain things.
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:10.720
All right.
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.160
And they'll tell you.
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:18.000
But sometimes it's easy to figure out.
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.599
You know what I'm saying?
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.319
But sometimes we don't look at it like that.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.599
Sometimes we're just living subconsciously and not consciously, right?
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:35.359
We're not being, meaning we're not aware of our words, our ways, and our actions, how they affect people, right, around us.
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.319
What we say and what we do, how it's affecting people.
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:43.519
Is it affecting a person in a positive manner or a negative manner?
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.240
All right.
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.839
Be mindful of the older siblings abusing their fucking power.
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:51.680
It happens all the time.
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.680
It's happening right now.
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.039
Whether you believe it or not.
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:57.680
Right?
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:04.880
A child and living out childhood is not an easy task.
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.320
You make it seem like, oh, you don't got no responsibilities.
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:09.920
I've even said it myself.
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.320
But that's still not true.
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:22.880
No, they don't necessarily have responsibilities, but they have to be responsible for what the fuck they're but what the fuck's being asked of them, right?
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:28.000
You're asking them to conduct themselves and trying to teach them to conduct themselves in a certain type of way.
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:30.880
So yeah, they they do have a responsibility.
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:37.599
It may not be on a higher scale or level as an adult, but they still have some type of responsibility.
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:43.760
Brush their teeth, wash their face every rising, make sure their bed is made, doing their homework.
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.440
Those are their responsibilities, those are their jobs as a child.
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:48.559
Right?
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.920
So, no, it's not easy for them neither.
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:52.880
At all.
00:34:53.119 --> 00:35:04.480
Whether it's going to school, whether it's homework, whether it's dealing with bullies, whether it's dealing with their teachers, whether it's dealing with themselves, they don't understand their goddamn self.
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:10.079
They don't understand why they feel and why they feel, why this hair is now appearing here.
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:11.519
You feel what I'm saying?
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.159
Why these fluids are coming out of here.
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:18.400
While I'm having these types of dreams and I wake up wet.
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.760
Like, you dig what I'm saying?
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.119
Like a child deals with more than we fathom.
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.000
And we're not children, so we can't fathom.
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:30.000
We were a child, but we don't have an adolescent mind.
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:33.840
So we so subconsciously we can't relate.
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:38.000
All right, consciously, we can when we think about it.
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:38.960
Okay, yeah.
00:35:39.199 --> 00:36:00.639
I remember when I was a child, or you know, like the definition says, you know, a childhood is the period where it's a vital period defined by physical growth, cognitive learning, and emotional development, right?
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:09.119
They're learning how to develop mentally, physically, and emotionally, right?
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:17.119
They're trying to understand the growth that's occurring physically, mentally, and emotionally, all right?
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:19.199
And they need our help.
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:26.880
Our, meaning adults, parents, guardians, someone that cares, right?
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:43.039
Someone that is experienced in this area, someone that knows how to teach with patience and humility, someone that knows how to be, someone that knows how to create a safe space for them to be emotional.
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.039
Another example.
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.199
Well, I work at, I seen a mother come in to grab her child.
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:58.239
Her child was just hurt in a you know, altercation, something like, nothing crazy with another peer.
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:06.559
The mom was, you know, notified when she came in of you know her child's you know issue and what happened to him.
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.760
Oh, you aye.
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:09.119
You a boy.
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:10.159
Be quiet.
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:11.039
Oh, he's good.
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:12.000
What?
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:14.719
You kidding me?
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.280
Let me kick you upside your head, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:26.559
Upside your back, smack you around, pluck you, pinch you, and tell you you're gonna be an aye because you're a grown woman, right?
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:28.639
Nevertheless, that I'm a man, right?
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.199
And nevertheless, that this child is a child.
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.400
That's the fucking point.
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:33.679
It's a child.
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:43.199
So why are you degrading a child based upon their emotions to an external stimuli, to something that definitely affected him?
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.079
He was crying.
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:49.519
So clearly he was hurt, felt disrespected, or just felt vulnerable.
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:50.559
I don't know.
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:54.880
Maybe he needed attention because clearly he don't get it from his mother.
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.519
Then his mother comes in holding another baby.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.840
I'll I was so livid about the situation.
00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:08.159
I don't know if it was another boy or if it was a girl, but damn, you clearly, you clear, you clearly quick to lay down with the wrong person.
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:16.480
Because in my assumption, I would say the father's not around because you wouldn't say shit like that.
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:22.320
I feel like single mothers only say goofy shit like that when the father's not around.
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:33.119
And yeah, the father's wrong for sure for not taking care of his responsibility and meeting her halfway and co-parenting, but you have the child, right?
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:35.760
You're the one willing to take, right?
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.800
So you have to take care and nurture that child properly.
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:41.119
Fuck because, oh, I'm just the only one in.
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:42.480
That don't mean shit.
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:43.840
That don't mean shit.
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:48.639
That don't mean you treat that child like shit because you pissed because you got to do it by yourself.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.599
Give that child up to somebody that'll give a fuck then.
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:53.280
Simple.
00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:03.039
You mothers don't get to pick and choose how you could treat your damn child based upon if the father is active or doing whatever he's supposed to do.
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:09.199
You're still wrong, held accountable, and responsible for how they develop or lack thereof.
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.039
It's still your fucking fault.
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:14.880
They were with you, regardless of what parent left.
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.800
The mother could have left.
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.599
Fathers, you're just as responsible.
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.639
No, you can't be a mother, and you're not playing two roles.
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:23.519
You're being a father.
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.480
And mothers, you're not playing two roles, you're being a mother.
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.079
You can't be a father.
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.400
So, so unlearn that shit.
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.239
It's because the father's not there don't mean you have to be a father.
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.079
You can't be a father.
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.920
Cut all that fucking bullshit out your mind.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:42.960
Because it's the furthest from the truth.
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.199
It's false, it's ignorance.
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:52.000
That child didn't ax or schedule itself to be born.
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:58.159
Your ignorant ass laid down with another ignorant ass and created a beautiful gift.
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:03.360
Now it's both of y'all's responsibility, whether one is responsible or not.
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:04.800
Somebody gotta step up.
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:17.280
And whoever's there, and or you know the the the head provider, you should be providing correctly, appropriately.
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:20.159
Period.
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:23.920
Alright.
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:27.840
Shout out to all the children, man.
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:34.159
The children are the best part according to Supreme Mathematics and Father of Law.
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:41.199
The children are understanding, they're the seeds, they represent the stars.
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.800
Remember, the highest form of understanding is love.
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:48.960
So children are love.
00:40:50.159 --> 00:41:07.119
But if they're being loved properly, they're not gonna be love if they're being shown hate and jealousy and envy and discord and chaos and violence.
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:09.599
That's survival.
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:10.880
That's not love.
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:18.960
So be mindful of how you're conducting yourself when a child is around.
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.920
Even when it's your child, especially when it's your child.
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:25.599
We ain't asking for perfect.
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:28.239
I ain't talking about perfect because no one can be perfect.
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.760
What I mean is move righteous, move upright.
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.480
Do what's supposed to be done.
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:37.920
Do what you would want to be done.
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.880
But we're so warped into sensitize, we don't even know what that is.
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:53.840
We can't even comprehend what that is because we're so stuck on this Western programming, and we're stuck in our egos, we're stuck in unhealed energy.
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:01.679
We're stuck in the past, we're stuck on old fucked up relationships.
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:05.119
We stuck on things we can't change.
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.639
What's the point of being stuck on it if you can't change it?
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:11.360
This is just a question.
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:13.920
Right.
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:21.519
If you can't change the people around you, change the people around you.
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:30.719
Meaning you can't change what people do say or how they act, but you can change the people that you are involved with.
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:33.920
Stop dealing with certain people.
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:35.599
Simple.
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:37.280
You know what I'm saying?
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:54.079
And yes, anything that's great will take sacrifice, will take time, will take hard work, will take dedication, will take consistency.
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:04.400
So be consistent in understanding that a child is not an adult, right?
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:14.559
And that a child needs the most safest space to express themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:18.800
They won't they don't understand their spiritual selves yet.
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:26.239
So focus on the mental, the physical, and the emotional aspect of the child.
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:28.000
Right?
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:36.159
And as they continue to grow and develop, you can start teaching them about spirituality.
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:37.679
Alright.
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.360
And how my spiritual journey is unique to your spiritual journey.
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:52.400
Just because I'm your father, or just because you know your mother is on a specific spiritual journey, don't mean you will be.
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.320
Some of us have parents that are religious and we're spiritual.
00:43:58.559 --> 00:43:59.760
I'm one of those people.
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.280
Feel what I'm saying?
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:02.960
That ain't a shot at them.
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:04.880
That works for them.
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:06.960
This is what works for me.
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:08.159
Right?
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:12.639
And that's one thing I loved about my parents is that they didn't force it on me.
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:22.320
Of course, I had to practice religion as a child, in childhood, because, you know, they were governing me.
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:23.679
You know what I'm saying?
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:25.440
They were my leaders.
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:30.639
They were responsible for my life, my spirit, my mind.
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:53.039
But once I grew out of the adolescent mind, it was my duty to relearn, research, deprogram, and reprogram myself to align with what works with for me, what works with me, what is for me, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:54.400
And not just what.
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.800
So be mindful that our children are the best part, man.
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:16.559
And our children, in some form of fashion, and aspect are the manifestation of the parent.
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:28.079
Again, some of us children or some children are the manifestation of their parents.
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.840
You know, the saying the apple don't fall far from the tree.
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:43.760
So in some instances, some parents that are drug addicts or drug dealers, gang members, gang bangers, so on and so forth, etc.
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.840
Your child is the same way.
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:59.440
And there's some of us parents that are oblivious and dead don't see that your child is not on the right path.
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.360
Yeah, they may play a sport.
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:14.960
They might not write out, just disrespect you or blatantly do certain shit, but it's some shit that they have done that you don't know about, or there's some shit that they have done behind your back that now you know of.
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:33.840
Seven to twelve years, 13.
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:35.440
All right.
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:37.360
Well, 13.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:42.400
Young teens, 13, 14, 15, so to speak, right?
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:54.639
Some of them are into shit that you don't even know they're into, or did things you don't know they're into, or part of self, or did things you don't know that they did.
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:56.800
Right?
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:00.079
And not all the time it's the parents' fault.
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:03.440
Some of us have great upbringings, great atmospheres, right?
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:10.719
A well-kept home, food and refrigerator, values, morals, right, of being taught daily.
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:16.880
The household is kept peacefully, nobody's running in and out, no matter who they are, right?
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.480
And sometimes still a child will stray.
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:30.559
And no, that's not necessarily a reflection of the parent, that's a reflection of that child, right?
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:37.679
Wanting to rear off on their own to figure shit out.
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.400
Believe it or not.
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:46.800
You know, it's some things they they want to try on their own, whether it's negative or positive.
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:49.519
You know what I mean?
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:51.360
They they want to explore.
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:55.760
And I don't think there's a right or wrong in that.
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:58.719
You know, it kind of is what it is.
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:10.239
But at the same time, make sure you as a parent are being consistent in your guidance and your upbringing and your love and your teachings, right?
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:14.639
Make sure you're emulating what you're teaching, right?
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:18.079
You can't say, oh, don't be smoking and you smoke.
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:20.880
Oh, drinking's bad for you, but you're an alcoholic.
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:22.800
Like, shit like that's not gonna make sense.
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.760
All that do as I say, not as I do, that shit don't, that shit really doesn't work.
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:29.280
You feel what I'm saying?
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:35.920
Because children, it's a statistic that children don't listen to what you say.
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:40.400
They listen and watch and react to what you do.
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:45.280
So for instance, somebody says something wrong to you and you fly off the handle.
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.440
When someone says something wrong to them, they're gonna fly off their handle.
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:53.760
Face twisted up, hands going, because that's what you do.
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.880
But you're not being mindful of this.
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.480
You thinking, do as I say, not as I do.
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:01.599
Yeah, okay.
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:02.559
Sure.
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:04.880
Sure.
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:08.719
That never worked for nobody.
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:25.039
Like a lot of these religions that have indoctrinated our culture to believe that we need to give up our power to something outside of us to receive power inside of us.
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:26.719
No, doesn't make sense.
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:34.320
The law of correspondence is as follows as within, so without, not so without as within.
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:43.679
So it's what's inside that counts and matters the most and will reflect itself or project itself externally.
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:48.639
So if you possess peace and calm, your actions will reveal that.
00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:52.880
If you're chaotic and unruly, your actions will reveal that.
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:56.639
So stay attentive.
00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:58.719
Be attentive of your children.
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.760
Know everything your child does isn't your fault.
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.719
Because there's two parents, they have grandparents, there's things that are passed down.
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:07.119
Dr.
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:09.920
Joy the Group, the post-traumatic slave syndrome.
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:16.159
She talks about how trauma was passed down through DNA, right?
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:18.639
And that's all sorts of trauma.
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:26.480
Whether that's verbal abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, anything.
00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:34.559
Slavery, all of that shit has been passed down through ancestors to the next ancestor, on to the next, to the next, and on to the next.
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:41.760
But if you're not checking it, well, first and foremost, if you don't know about it, how could you check something you don't know about?
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:44.159
Don't make sense, right?
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.239
Because it doesn't make sense.
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:50.559
Because you won't know about anything until you do the research.
00:50:50.719 --> 00:51:00.719
And once you do the research, now you're able to make a wise decision based upon the information you've acquired, based upon what you know now.
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:03.039
Right?
00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:07.519
And when you make wise decisions based upon what you know, that does what?
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:22.719
That brings forth understanding and shows and prove you understand the information you acquired because you are you know how to utilize that information wisely to benefit you and those around you.
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:28.000
If those around you are willing to take those necessary steps, right?
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:36.079
To bring themselves into existence, meaning understanding, right?
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:48.239
By doing the knowledge to themselves and applying what they know to bring forth understanding to themselves, for themselves, by themselves.
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:54.880
All right, because growth happens subtly, it happens for you, for you.
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:58.639
You don't grow for the next person, you grow for you.
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:06.320
Your children is growing and needs to grow accordingly and properly for them.
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:07.760
All right.
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:17.119
So many parents have their children stuck in their in their life, in their old life.
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:18.239
You feel what I'm saying?
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:24.719
Meaning that they want you, some parents want their children to relive their life for them.
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:28.880
Because you didn't make the basketball team, so now your son has to play basketball.
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:32.159
You didn't make the hockey team, so now they gotta play hockey.
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:35.199
You didn't make the baseball team, so now they gotta make the baseball team.
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.480
You wasn't as good at football, so now you making them play football.
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:41.440
This world is more than just sports.
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:44.880
You hear me?
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.239
This world is more than sports, man.
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:56.719
If you get injured, is that if you physically get injured, does that mean your mind's injured?
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:57.519
It doesn't.
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:02.079
So you might want to have a backup plan.
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:03.280
Right?
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:07.840
Your mind is a terrible thing to waste.
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:09.840
Right?
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:14.159
And your mind is the most powerful tool that you have.
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:18.400
You can do anything that you set your mind to do.
00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.679
So again, parents, stop rushing your children to sports.
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:39.519
Yeah, it's a way to keep them active when they're young, teach discipline, teach camaraderie, teach um team building, teach determination, right?
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:41.039
And to teach sacrifice.
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:45.280
Who wants to get up early and practice in the heat and the rain and the snow?
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:46.400
All right.
00:53:46.559 --> 00:54:07.199
So, yeah, there's valuable lessons in the development of sports, but to push your child to the end for them to be an elite athlete, is it for them or is it so you can sit your ass down because now they got money?
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:08.480
Is that what it is?
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:15.440
Is that, are you pushing your child to do all of these things to make sacrifices to help better your life?
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:20.320
If you are, you ain't shit.
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:21.920
All right?
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.760
And hopefully your child realizes that and don't give you a fucking dime.
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:26.800
Because you don't deserve it.
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:35.679
You didn't push them for the genuine or from a genuine place in your heart or a genuine intent because you knew they loved the sport.
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:36.559
No.
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:40.880
You did it because you wanted to capitalize off your child.
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:51.599
How dare you let that child live their life how they want to live their life, whether you agree with that shit or not.
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:53.679
Because it's not your life.
00:54:54.079 --> 00:55:04.800
Longs you do your job and your duty, which is to teach them, lead them, and guide them to your best of ability, but not keeping them from being who they are.
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:07.679
That's all you can do.
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:16.000
Because the more you force them to be something they're not, the more they're gonna resent you, not talk to you, not open up to you, not communicate with you.
00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:23.360
And they damn sure are gonna be hell-bent to do and be who the fuck they want to be because you're against it.
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:25.440
You're not understanding it.
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:33.360
You're not creating a space to for them to feel comfortable in being themselves.
00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:40.400
It's another misconception that parents, you know, wield over their children.
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:44.719
Don't be a follower, be a leader, do this, do that.
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:51.039
But you want me to do what the fuck you want me to do because it's benefiting you.
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:51.679
What's the difference?
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:53.360
There isn't any difference.
00:55:54.480 --> 00:56:02.719
Your child is not a leader because you're forcing your child and programming them to be you, but they don't even know that shit.
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:06.159
All right, because some of us adults haven't healed.
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:10.079
We're fucked up emotionally, mentally.
00:56:11.280 --> 00:56:11.840
All right.
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:18.719
Women deal with postpartum depression when they birth a child.
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:19.599
All right.
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:22.559
Who says she healed from that?
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.719
Who says she has the proper space and time to do that?
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:35.599
Who says people in her life allowed the mother or created a safe space for the mother while she was going through it, right?
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.239
She probably didn't have time to heal.
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:40.079
She just had to be a mother.
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.480
I'm truly in a standing to that.
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:46.559
I'm sure some mothers just had to do what the fuck they had to do.
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:49.760
Up the baby's hips, I ain't got time to lack.
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:51.119
You know.
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:55.360
I'm on maternity leave, but I got to get back to work.
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:57.119
I got bills to pay.
00:56:57.840 --> 00:56:58.880
You know what I'm saying?
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:09.599
And as a man of the culture, looking from the outside in, like we put everything ahead of the most important things.
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:12.559
We put money over our mental health.
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.800
We put materials over our emotional health.
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:23.840
We put all of those things, any material, over our spiritual health because it's corny.
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:26.079
It's not it's not wavy enough, right?
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:31.360
It's not it's not enough publicity, it's not too many people that's gonna condone it.
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:36.960
Yeah, of course, because it takes growth to change, right?
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:40.960
And in order to grow, you must change.
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:42.320
You can't remain the same.
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:47.360
So, no, there's not gonna be too many followers that want to better themselves.
00:57:47.519 --> 00:58:00.239
You're gonna have the majority who don't give a fuck about how they move, and then you're gonna have a handful of people, a few people that care, that want to heal, that want to set a better example.
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:01.440
That's just what it is.
00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:03.920
85% of the world is deaf, dumb, and blind.
00:58:04.079 --> 00:58:16.800
The 5% are the poor, righteous teachers, and not poor in money, but teaching the poor in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, meaning they lack the awareness of who they are, what they are, and their power.
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:17.920
All right.
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:23.920
And the 5% know the truth and are willing to share the truth, and that's me.
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.400
So be mindful of who you are as a parent, right?
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:41.119
And know that when you have a child, that your child is your most greatest possession and creation of all time.
00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:46.400
And not a possession as you possess them, but something precious, right?
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:53.840
A possession that is priceless, so to speak.
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:54.480
Right?
00:58:54.639 --> 00:59:06.320
You can't put a value on a child, on a live, living being that's in existence that doesn't know anything when they get here.
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:08.000
Alright?
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:12.480
They only know what you tell them and what you show them.
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:24.880
So ask yourself, have you been the best parent you can be to your child in their childhood?
00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:32.159
Alright, you may not have had the best parent in your childhood.
00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:45.519
So you should want to give your child a better childhood because it wasn't your fault, and neither is it your child's fault.
00:59:46.960 --> 01:00:03.119
So we have to have some empathy and put ourselves in our children's shoes and realize that being a child isn't easy and should not be compared to adulthood.
01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:13.119
It has its own set of levels, it has its own set of issues, and it has its own process.
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:26.239
So keep in mind the difference between a child and an adult is the experiences, right?
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:28.400
The lessons.
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:34.639
And if they don't know, how could you expect them to know?
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:40.320
And if you don't know, you definitely can't expect them to know.
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.280
Shout out to all my children out there.
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:47.519
