I'm Mr. Thunder and today is Thursday, July the 25th, 2024. If this your first time come to the podcast, man, I sure do appreciate you for coming. Somehow you heard about it and you hear. But if you've been with me and rocking with me from the beginning, you already know what's going to happen. So, just get ready for this roller coaster of wisdom and knowledge that's about to be dropped on you and the emotions that come with it behind the decisions that come after it. So, today, again, I told you my man was going to be back on here too cool to me and he's a blessing to podcast today with some of his intellect that I definitely appreciate. Some good reporters will and then kind of just, you know what I'm saying, putting out in the universe wasn't necessary for the time. So, if you wouldn't mind my brother, go ahead and take it away. Greetings, salutations and hello to all of you in the cyber world and in the real world. I am too cool to me to mention that to be exact and grateful to be on your platform yet again as y'all seeing this emotional, man, you can't be asked around your dog. You can't be there. You got to stay moisturized around. What's your favorite lotion as a sidebar real quick, bro? You got a favorite lotion you use? Oh, man, look, let me take something, man. It's fucked up, but it's funny. I was all anti-bath and body works, right? I'm like, man, listen, right? I'm always great. You know what I'm saying? I'm always cool. I was just using, like, the oil. You know what I'm saying? Like coconut oil, was it ergon, ergon, whatever oil? So, that's why I was working on oil. Yeah, for my skin. And I got, I apparently had sensitive skin, so I couldn't do, like, fragrances and stuff. But my daughter ended up in that bath and body works one summer. And she put me on to that damn body creams like that. Yeah, I got them all, man. I got them all. Matter of fact, they so good. My wife stole one of mine. They did her own, and I'm like, man, we both can't be smelling like this, so I just, you know... Is it masculine? I mean, is it like a new title? Okay, so, we getting off, but I like this. I like it. No, okay, so if you know the lines, right, you got to know bath and body works and other lines. And no reason I know this is because an older black lady told me this. So, Gengham, right, Gengham is the one that I'm talking about, but it's Gengham unstoppable. It was like beginning of the year, they dropped it or whatever. It was blue, with like this, you know what I'm saying? But anyways, man, I put this shit on. I was like, "Damn!" It took me back somewhere, right? So, she was explaining to me the history of it how it was a woman's fragrance at first, right? So, then I'm like, no, that's not what I'm getting from it. What I'm getting from it is, you remember Aspen Cologne? Mm-hmm. Remember, it came in that green, green bottle? Had to go tree on it? Real woodsy, yeah, real woodsy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Getting them to me is like a softer, you know what I'm saying? Kind of like a more on the cooler side of Aspen, like just a variation. So, anyways, I ask you a question. It don't matter which one it is, it's just got to be the body cream. That's what I put on my skin now. Okay. I swear by this scent right now, man. And, you know, I like the females to kind of do this thing. You know, they like the hybrid they sense, you know what I'm saying? They'll go with a body cream, and then they'll put a little hint of that little, you know, fragrance or whatnot with it, too. I'm like, "Man, you know what? Have you ever smelled this?" Walked the old-fashioned? Nah, I ain't seen that. Man, this is... First time, what was the color of that spray you just said? What was the color of that? Aspen was green, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I might have to. That's definitely a seasonal one, because they got another one, with the flam... The flam... The flam... Yeah. Yeah. Now, we probably don't want our age like a motherfucker right now, man. Yeah, man. Some folks probably don't need to swear about it. Yeah, but they wouldn't even know, man. They gotta know your history, man. But then again, it was cheap back then. Nah, that shit's expensive. But the body... Well, it ain't cheap. It's only cheap when it's on sale. I get them $5.99 or $5.95, boy. I load up on that. Yeah, but sorry, you got one. About you. Yeah, thank you so much for having me, family, yeah, again, you know. And I had to stop all that real quick because I was putting, you know, ain't want to be ashy, man. You know, don't marry a man being out of your ashes like that. Speaking of... Now they can see you better, right? So... Okay. So when we did it the last time, did you get any feedback from it? Of course. Of course. You know? What'd it do for you? First up, you should always see counsel and think that whenever you're trying to polish self, you know, you gotta see counsel from the people who you are able to be vulnerable with, and they can handle your vulnerability in an encouraging way. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And what I was looking for and all the ways in which I network with people, my vulnerability is to scale betterment for self. So I think the delivery of what I was trying to, you know, give the first time nervousness, you know, even if it's just a screen, and you talk normal, the spotlight is on you, still brings a sense of mental nervousness. You know what I'm saying? So I'm a lot more relaxed today and can give you. I got my water, you know? My time was tape was on there. So time was tape was water. I'd be like, give a sip on, keep me hydrated. You know, speaking of water, right? So this week, as a part of, you know what I'm saying, seeking counsel, one of the bits of advice for guidance I had gotten in the moment of my time was to... And man, this is, I'm on day four of a water fast. All day, I think each day I probably had a handful of, like, just candy, just for my sugar, and then a handful of like mixed nuts, other than that, man, it's just been water. And I tried before and it sucked so bad, but man, I think now I don't even feel it done. Like, it's crazy high, you know, water, because you brought it up. Yeah. You got your water, right? So I just so happened. Now, mind you, I got a whole concoction of just lemon water and stuff that I'm drinking that work or whatever. But today, for today's episode, the message is liquid death. So the water fast for me is killing what I'm trying to get over when I'm trying to get through. You know what I'm saying? And something that came from what you had relayed to me in, you know what I'm saying, already changes. So thank you for that, my brother. But to let you know that it was impactful. Oh, I like that. So many things, man. So many things. And that word impactful right there is just really what I've been on as far as, you know, seeking counsel. You, you know, when you're trying to polish yourself, you want to, you want to be affected by impactful people so that you can be infectious impactfully. Does that make sense? Yeah. So who impacts you the most who like who impacts or has the most influence or input in your your decisions making when it comes to putting it together outside outside of your higher self. Who do you go to? Oh, man. Well, good question. I believe that I have recently been going to. Crazy. I'm gonna give a reference. Nick and his platform with the council culture. Hey, that's a gym. That's that's a gym. Yeah. You sent it to me. I was like, nang, I'll be in that shit. That's a gym. It's crazy. It's almost like when we first met each other, like, it's like, damn. Yeah, like this for real. You know what I'm saying? Like, it ain't just me. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool, though, man. But then your personal in your personal space, like, you know, it's your wife is a family member is a good friend, like somebody said, Hey, you know, I'm doing this podcast, man. I want you to check it out. I was on here. You know, I want you to check it out as anybody that kind of helped you, you know, in that or you kind of just keeping this to yourself right now. Now, I think my, my wife has definitely, definitely been a huge, you know, cheerleader, you know, and a great inspiration just from me being able to watch her and mother and she's also, you know, a cheer coach for our girls cheer team. You know what I'm saying? So I see and I study and I do the operations of what she navigates. Not only that, you know, my uncle, my uncle has been, you know, a great, a great voice of reason within my life. Just from the standpoint of him being a retired Marine military man. Of course, I'm, you know, same with the army as well. And so, you know, I just learned how to, you know, put a lot of steps in my motion from the people who I've, you know, been nurtured by, you know, and I think that's, that's, that's been an influence for me. But back to that Nick Cannon, though. He had an interview, of course, with, you know, a great brother, Dr. Umar Johnson. Of course, he, he had a great interview with him more to come for that. But brother, you know, and much respect to the nation is long because brother Nuri Muhammad. I even, I even inboxes cat man, just to let him know, like, I respect what you're doing. And not just that, but you inspire me because the words that he was speaking just from the standpoint of utilizing Nick Cannon's platform and his own platform as well as the nation Islam. And advocating for really just, I'm gonna kind of put it in the black, you know, yeah, in a black star, one of the tracks called knowledge itself, you know, they got his car KOS knowledge itself determination. And that's what he's talking about, being able to have a focus on yourself and the knowledge that you are gaining your life and you can stay. So, that's where my, my, me seeking counsel, that's really what I'm doing and curating, you know, the folks that surround me. And so that's one of the inspirations been coming from that, man, I just really been focused on that. Yeah, that's, that's good, man, because I ain't gonna lie to you when I listen to it. One, I had a, I had a moment of reflection. It was almost like, you know, you got kids, but I don't know if your kids are old enough, but my daughter used to watch her that that's all right. And on there, she would have these moments like these epiphany moments where everything will rush to her, and she will come out of that, you know, I'm saying this vision and realize like she's in this space because of all these things that have happened. And when my whole catalog just fast forwarded through my mind, when he was talking, and he was hitting them points, you know, I was like, man, okay, so the part that I'm missing. And my equation discipline, which is one. And then the other part is, is applying the discipline to a purpose. Right. So, and talking with you and listening to that. I said, okay, so how can I apply a level of discipline that I can monitor, you know, without expression that I need any acknowledgement, right? I ain't telling nobody else going to do it. I'm just did it, you know, and anything I usually do. I do cold turkey like I just, I just cut it straight off just to see if I can do it. But in that, I apply that discipline to another thing that he was saying about how their purpose is to protect the black man because the black man is God. I thought I was like, okay, so if that is the case, a black man is not a black man by color. He's a black man by belief, because it's what they believe in. What they see in a black man is God. And I was like, you know, I said, that is probably why I'm always telling people, I'm Native American, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Because as a black man, right, there's an identity there that you have visually, but internally, you know, spiritually and mentally comes to the guy side and I was like, okay, I need to apply that discipline to that way of thinking. And I reached out to one of my homeboys that I used to kick it tough with I'm talking about, we just do dumb, who's who's a member of the nation to Islam and has shaking hands with, you know, saying fair kind. And you saw, you know, I'm saying, so, in that short period of time, that's how, you know, for me, right, I know that my way of thinking and the resignation, the resignation that I received in his message. Was there is a way to apply my way of thinking into a life of discipline for purpose. And I'm like, okay, so let me reach out. Let me find out. And I wish we had the video, you know, we might come back to this another day, but I wish I had the audio or video where he talked about how in the nation of Islam that they identify with their soldiers, the identity of somebody seeking help meaning they have a soldier that has been where you are and can do these things and not only that, their belief is that anybody can change. And all you have to do is be disciplined. And I was like, man, that's some cold stuff. There's, there's no, no levels of discipline. It's just complete. Yeah, man. So your cold turkey that you think you do. You think, you know, just the, the practice of the, you know, the discipline that you think you already have and embedded in you. Say that, say that one more time. Because you said you go cold turkey whenever you just do something and you shift, right? You just like, man, let me, let me see how you really, what I, what I interpreted is you just really evaluate and how disciplined you can be. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, I know the thing about trying and wanting to see, it's two different things, right. Okay. And you try, you're reaching for things that are tangible. You're putting it together. You're trying to put it together. But when you just do it, meaning it, like stop. Yeah. And it's just stop. It's not, you know, like my drinking, right? It'll be three years October, right? I'm talking about cold turkey next day. I'm not doing this shit no more. No, I'm going to wean myself off of it. You know, I'm going to try and stop drinking. I said, I'm going to do it because I need to see. And a lot of my messages are you don't know until you do, right? So instead of trying, I'm just going to do it. Okay. And then find out how disciplined I am, meaning do I even really want to do it? Because there's been a lot of times where in my life, I've said I'm going to do something and I never finish it because what I'm really doing is trying. And I think that I think that with, you know, just from what I heard a little bit about the nation of Islam is a force you to put yourself in that mind frame of doing and not trying. And no excuse, you know, saying like there's no excuse for you not to do what you're supposed to be doing. You know, it's an interview. He made an example talking about why people choose Christianity over, let's say, like the nation is not or just being a Muslim or any other like discipline of a religious practice or belief. And what I believe, even though, you know, Brother Neri Muhammad said, you know, he was going to church when he was a young and you know what I mean, trying to really just kind of find a conviction point of change. And he said, you know, when you are, and this is, I mean, you could just look at the patterns, this ain't even me just trying to like convince people to go Muslim or not be a Christian, it's more about how well can you identify the patterns of your behaviors and what goal do you really have in your change. So I picked up from that dialogue. You really have to understand why you teetering. You see what I'm saying? Like, why are you teetering with the idea of changing? Why don't you just change? You see what I'm like, when you teetering with it, you really trying to stay connected to this behavior because you afraid of the other side of what that change is going to look like. Yeah. And so I believe a lot of us are fixated in that way of thinking because it's a coping mechanism and all coping is is you just trying to hold on to a practice that you're familiar with, not even if it's not healthy for you. You see what I mean? Do you like drinking? We could use any kind of vice, you know, drinking, smoking, sex porn, whatever. And if you think about it, we typically hold on to these types of behavior patterns just to keep us in a familiar sense of, like, sanity. I mean, it's all in books, man. It's like, this shit ain't new. Well, it's like he said, though, it's written, right? Yeah. It's that whole, you know, we're all saying the same thing, but nobody's speaking the same language, right? So even in the Bible, the reference to what you just said and what I said at the same time, it all lines up with leaning on your own understanding. That's where we fought towards, right? And, you know, instead of, you know, saying when he said that my thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways and how far away from what you think is what I think, you know, I'm saying. And that's why, you know, I always tell people, you know, saying in the business that I'm in anything that makes sense, makes no sense at all. So don't try and figure it out. Just do it, right? You know, I have, like, let's just say, I use an example, I had a staff where, you know, people were working in the back office at a real high and, you know, high client to a law firm. All ethnic brothers and sisters, you know, Hispanic, Black, whatever, not too many white folks, you know, saying maybe one or two here and there. But they would always get in inside themselves when they didn't like how things were going based upon their understanding, right? Well, you're not going to talk to me like that. You know, I'm not going to let her say that to me. Yeah, that works for you at home and that works for you in the streets, but this is your job. Right. I need you to learn how to operate here so that you can deal with that, right? So stop trying to understand why somebody's talking to you a certain way or listen to what they're saying because it just may be that you never know the secretary might be under stress from the paralegal. The paralegal might be under stress from the attorney. The attorney might be under stress from the client. You don't know what's going on, but your job is to do what they ask you to do. It doesn't matter how they say it. Now they being disrespectful. That's a whole nother thing, right? So it's just like parenting, right? So even when, you know, he talked about what God gives a command and he already has programs as a replica, like he said that, and you know, you're supposed to operate as such. You have the ability to control that, but because we lean on our own understanding and like you said, try. You know, we fall short. There's my question to you, though. Are we so far gone and distractions to where we really can't get to a more unified place of sanity and like practicality in our lives to where it's a healthy narrative because that's, that's a question that's trying to really cultivate what you just said, we are not speaking the same language, you know what I'm saying. And the reality is how much language needs to be spoken for there to be a clear understanding. That's my question. Like, why we got to speak so many different languages. Yeah, just just to get to the basic fundamentals of understanding. Yeah. No, I get where you're coming from. And I'm just going to use the reference that, you know, I'm saying they use in the nation of Islam is that from what I've learned in this past couple days, which is the basics, which is the most powerful part is that they believe in all of the prophets and the Messiah, they believe that the truth is the truth. Right. Now the level of connection to God is a little different, but they do believe Jesus was, you know, I'm saying a messenger. They do believe in all the messengers. Let's just say that. And I think the problem is, is that the other messengers don't want to believe in them. So they always seem to be outcast. I say that to say, you know, me and you come from two different worlds, right? Just even though we're connected on a whole nother frequency, we had to get there at some point. But in order to hear you have to start understanding, you know, where you put yourself in life. So like, you know, I was in management, right, operations, you know, I had to deal with all kind of different people. And I had to figure out a way to speak to everybody where they understood that one common language, which was common sense. You know what I'm saying? And I think too many people are trying to justify their way of thinking rather than operating in common sense and understanding that. So I don't think that we're too far gone. I think that instead of the practice of, as you say, trying, right, trying to figure it out, we should be in the practice of doing, meaning that once you find through seeking counsel and self education. You find your purpose, then you operate in it because then it's going to, it's going to guide you to people who are on the same frequency similar to how we met. Right. So there's a purpose behind how you move. And then just identifying those people, which is what I'm trying to do is, you know, get everybody in the same room. So I don't think so. I think the art was lost when you talk, you know, we talked to, I said the episode about the griot, you know, and I believe it's just a form of how Jesus taught his disciples, you know, saying there was only 13 of them. So their job was to spread information, the gospel to the world. Imagine that task of 13 men that, you know, saying out of all of them, only one or two, succeeded. Yes. And, and we're in a world where we live on the whole other side of the country, but yet that one last bit of direction caused us to have this conversation right now. Right. So, to answer your question, I don't think we too far gone. I just think that we need to understand where we at right now and then walk in our, you know, and walk and operate in our purpose and it's going to guide us to people who are going to start gathering and doing what's necessary because you already know, it's the least of us that I fail. Right. I mean, it's, it's in the word. That's the one thing I can really appreciate about having to be disciplined and listening to what he was saying is that the truth is the truth. Yeah. What text it comes from. It is the truth. So, that's, that's my opinion, my brother. I want to, I want to make this statement and I want you to tell me what you think about. Because this is this is from the interview that they had. He said he was representing the honorable. You know, Miss was very conny. He was saying, the only knowledge man keeps is the knowledge that man shares. Yeah. Like, if you, if you, if you, I don't know, I ain't gonna say if you're a civil-minded person, but if you hear that some folks will, some folks will compartmentalize it and understand it and some people will kind of have like, you know, the curiosity is about it. So what did that, what did that mean for you when you hear the following is a high five moment from high five casino.com. I want your food. Private, put down your phone. This is the army. Sorry, high five casino is a social casino. Done your phone goes wherever you go. I win three spins, cash, prizes, free 10 rewards, over 1200 games. I want to win. platoon, present cell phone.

Over with the bylaw. 18 plus strategic edition. The policy website for details. For me? Yeah, and when you hear that, like the only knowledge that man keeps is the knowledge that man shares. So it's a, I look at it as, if I had to put it in like a tangible, it'll probably be like currency. Right? Your money, your money, you work for your money. All right, knowledge, you work for the wisdom. Then you go into the market and you see what your money does. And your ROI, your return on investment, right? So you're gaining something behind something that you're using after obtaining it. Right? So you're leveling up more and more and more. So if you're using knowledge. And having conversations by seeking counsel. Then you're not only sharing it, but you're also receiving at the same time because now what you just did. Becomes truth, right? Which is the wisdom. So now you've aimed it because you shared it, right? So it's almost like. Um, let's just take a doctor, for instance, right? A doctor can graduate from medical school, a C student. I mean, let's just, let's be real. Not all of them is a plus 100%. Right. Level of graduation, but then there's levels of the ability. Um, so let's say the doctor goes and, you know, he starts his practice real slow. You know what I'm saying? There's no acknowledgement there. There's, there's nothing there. But he continues to do his continuing, was a CLE continuing learning, you know what I'm saying? Right? Yeah. He continues to do that, continues to do that. And he's applying everything that he's receiving into his profession. And then now all of a sudden 10, 20 years from now, he becomes an expert in his field because he shared knowledge. Yeah. Right. And it becomes greater and greater and greater. So that's, that's what I got from it because if it's not shared, then it's not worth anything. I mean, nobody wants to sit on a bunch of, I know and never use it. I would hate that burden. Yes. That's why why Jesus is always told people it's greater in you than it is in me. You just don't know it. You can, you can tell that mountain over there to move. Yeah, it will. I mean, even faith of a must of seat has to come from somewhere. And in order to have it has to be shared. So that's, um, that's what I got from it. I like the, I like, I like that I resonate with that, you know, and I receive it. So I, um, I just had, you know, my, my statements and my, my thoughts, man, it's, it's more about growth and awareness. And, you know, I think the first, you know, a couple weeks back when we had, you know, constant consciousness as the, the staple for that, the interview. And consciousness clearly is what you, it's just awareness. You know what I'm saying? What are you aware of? And what do you make as a practical form or mallety for yourself to keep in memory of your awareness. And I think when you use these examples from the religious topic to the organizational way of us going through jobs and stuff like that. We're all just trying to mimic a behavior of patterns. That will get us to a better position in life. You know what I mean? And I think we really don't understand how we're coming or going in the pursuit of it all. So as we listen to, you know, Neri Muhammad and the pastor at your local church, or, you know, Dr. Martin King, Michael Max, you know, JFK, anybody that is in the position of voice, you know, they have pretty much a duty just by the divine who God has assigned us here to do, which is to, you know, advocate and to speak into one of my favorites, connect many, you really are trying to, you know, navigate this life in the best way possible so that you can have advancements that work the best for your, you know, your conditions in your life. And so, you know, I think a lot of these narratives, bro, are great narratives for all of us, you know, stick with us. You know, stick with it, man, to hopefully take heed to our personal lives and even want to share it amongst other people and not be so voterous in it, you know what I'm saying, because I think the voter mentality is what is causing so much of the demise and our walks, you know what I'm saying? Like, hope she's kind of got this, you know, protective mantra about themselves like everything is supposed to be a guard ship about themselves as if they can't have a more vulnerable life. And you can be vulnerable, but I think a lot of what we do in our vulnerabilities and navigating life. We misjudge the way that we're supposed to measure people who are supposed to aid in our vulnerability. We're vulnerable too much instead of analyzing what a person is able to really assist us in that vulnerability. You see what I mean. So, so we keep, we keep referencing this person. So, I want to just pay like one of these clips. And then I want you to give me your feedback. Okay. So, I'm just going to take a random random one and go. The black woman, the healthy ideology of an a family is a black woman with a black woman. Well, that definitely ain't it. And I say me, but I'm also probably saying just the prominent black man general for some of our actions and specifically even towards, but it has to be difficult when you see black men, not upholding their side. All right. So that was random, right? Okay. What's happening right now as we speak in the world. Oh, come on, man. First off, that's out to Kamala Harris, man. Shout out to every black man that's gonna stand 10 toes down for the black woman. Yeah, every, you know, every Republican converted to Democrat because of this huge narrative that's going on right now. You know, shouts out to everybody who is a lot more conscious and understanding that peace and unity and what everybody trying to get right now in this world, everybody trying to get that. So, to that point, it's just, it's just, you know, confused chaos in the way that we was all introduced to this world, bro. I think a lot of it is really that that's what it is so we really trying to fight amongst each other. We just getting bad narratives from the start of our lives and, like, bro, tell me your sentiments, man. You know, I get in this I preach on that. So just tell me. Hey, man, it's just a matter of just picking your brain man saying where you at with it. So now that we didn't shift the gears. Right. Look, got the man smiling and all kind of shit. Not if we didn't shift the gears. Things to be the narrative right and I'll be the first one to admit that, you know, I don't fully understand the black woman. Right. I didn't grow up in the black house. I didn't grow up with black family. I didn't have, you know. I did. Right. So, I'm a little behind the eight ball when it comes to, you know, what it looks like to properly, properly support a black woman. So, you know, that's times why I fall short. And, you know, I'm constantly learning, but, but that being said, my brother, what is your thought on what that looks like for you. I am black and, you know, I am black because I came from a black woman and my father's black, you know, and I believe that the book of who I am is because of the black woman. When you talk about, you know, how I learned how to, and you see this into where I'm navigating this now, how I learned how to cut grass, watch this is iron, save money, sell candy, nurture kids, because my mom had a daycare for 15 years nurturing 12 kids at a time, you know. And, and up to the rock art console and being able to show me the empowerment of the movement of black, black woman. I believe that, you know, it's imperative to understand both the beauty and the struggle and the beauty with the struggle. And I think that's really what a lot of us get confused on. We don't understand that part. Not everyone has the patience to understand another person's struggle point. But we all, we all want to have a good story telling narrative, though, we will, we all want to at least, you know, sit around the campfire and listen to somebody tell they narrative as long as it's interesting enough, right. So, the black woman narrative is always the, the, the beautiful, you know, the beautiful harmonic, you know, resonance in our, in our ear that we listening for hell, every, every, every culture allures to the black woman, every single culture, it don't matter what it is from the, the, the, you know, the intellect of a nation of Islam is, is the focus on the black woman, right. And that's interesting in itself. So you say a lot of, you know, what we like to do what we like to do. But today, that is just me and you. So what does Tim do to let his black woman know that he supports her loves her and is going to be the black man, right, because black man is God. Yeah, so hard. So I had to, I had to shift my, my hustle mentality of trying to get, you know, to try to win a rat race, I had to shift that, because I think a lot of us is black men are trying to do that. That's why we get, you know, very confused in an area of knowing how to praise the black woman, and knowing how to really honor the black woman. That's just facts, bro. Listen, I had my thoughts in regards to just navigating black women and women period. And I think at this particular day and age now, I'm learning how important it is to give them their flowers, and more specifically my wife, you know, to give my wife a flower to give her the position of encouragement and to go out in the world and top down these trees and, you know, make sure that everything that I learn and gain, I bring it back to her so she can be more empowered to nurture my seeds. You see what I'm saying. That's really what it's coming down to. And just to have a real life moment, my father wasn't even in my life like that. I mean, no diss to him. I know he was navigating his own thing, you know, like, but he was also nurtured by a black woman. And in that, that's probably the way that he is today and even in the absence of some things that he, you know, needed to have for himself. I'm noticing that, you know, a lot of us are always going to be conditioned to, to, to need that nurturing component from that black woman. And that's just fact so, you know, I think a lot of us just have some confused, some confused differences of how we need to go about it from a self individualized standpoint of a navigating life. So, and get the right teachers get the right coaching, you know what I'm saying, get the right awareness points to understand what a panel respects to. Okay. So with that being said, you are in a position of having knowledge. You can apply that is now wisdom, which is your truth. That can be in any scope. Right. What would be, what would be your advice to, you know, I'm saying a black man or a young man or young, just trying to figure out. You know, I'm saying, like what would be your direction that you would give and just a little dose without, you know, I'm saying too much. Yeah. Yeah. Plan that see what would that, what would that see be control your stimulus. When you simulate yourself, you saturate your focus. Okay. And you, you won't give yourself the opportunity to nurture properly. How did you learn that. How are you spending how you are saving and how you are essentially trying to invest into future. I think all of this goes into a, I call it the harboring sphere, you know, the harboring spheres like that. That the scientific molecule that it looks like it's breathing in and out like you can go in and out of your retracts and expands, you know, I know. Right. So, we'll get better, man. We'll be able to share screens and show pictures and stuff like that. So, I got somebody know you talk about this fear, man, but I got you next time. I'm looking for a problem. You too. You too. Yeah. So, um, I think that a lot of us don't understand our, our presence. You know what I mean, we don't understand the value of our of our presence, like of our right now. Of our, um, our ability to, you know, comprehend what we know in that comprehension. What that means for our, you know, ability to expand and how we're trying to navigate our resources and network. We have no idea how that particular access in the presence is to scale us. So, because of that, we're so busy consuming everything and some things we consume more than we should, which makes us navigate a lot more drastically in some areas. You know what I'm saying. So, the advice to answer your question, the advice I would give black men specifically is slow down on what you're consuming so that you can be able to put a better focus on yourself. That doesn't mean stop. It just says, pay more attention to the patterns that you are observing and really put a focal point of analyzing a concoction, which is, which is the development of your patterns or what it's actually getting you. You know what I'm saying. I said the recipe. Yeah, that's really what you're doing. You, you're creating a recipe. There's a lot of us men that didn't have fathers in our lives and you know what I'm saying may have had some mother issues and some aspects and things of that nature but the longer you hold on to the mathematics of what you didn't have, the longer you stand there, you know, and I think I had to, I had to learn that too just from navigating life in my own way. So, you know, like, like, like the book said, the only knowledge that man keeps is the knowledge that man share so when I share it, it resonates with me more because I got the opportunity to be vocal about it. Yeah. That's good, man. So, with that, right with that. I think that I think we're on to something, you know what I'm saying with you, my brother. I think it's, think what we're going to kind of call it and we could play with this is Tim. Timmy's truth. See how that, see how that feels, you know what I'm saying, too cool true for something something like that. But let's, let's just kind of dive into this little episode we was listening to. And I'm just going to drag it and wherever it lands, let's see what it, let's see what it says. Oh, here we go. I don't know what exactly it's not even, it doesn't have any of the mumps, names that are American West. Right. But so Ramadan would be like September, they're September, right. But it's the month that the Quran was revealed in his first start getting a revelation on the first of all getting a revelation in Ramadan. So they made the month of the Quran and it showed a salute to the scripture, you fast. And you, it's a month of spiritual purification. There's no food or drinking or sexual intercourse with your wife or husband doing the daylight out. Right. And the lesson that comes from it, you do it 30 days. Think about this, food, water and sex. These are three things that either brought us here or keep us here. So if you can conquer and master for 12 to 15 hours a day, what brought you here and what keeps you here, how easy it is for you to stop smoking cigarettes. Or to stop drinking or any other bad habit. You want to break. So it becomes a month of spiritual purification recommitting yourself. And we, we don't argue. We try not to, to watch anything file. And that's something to think about too, because you can fast for multiple. Yeah. But it is, it's every physical, mental and spiritual. Fasten is the only thing that I know that touches all of those with no side effects. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I didn't even know I was from the land on that. That's funny. We was talking about it earlier. Yeah. But yeah, it, it, it validates everything, not only what you just said, right, by being aware of your stimulants and then being able to control the consumption of them by being disciplined in the ability to do something different. Not try. Do something different. So, right, that being said, my brother, we're going to hold that thought and we're going to come back again. But before the man, you got to leave the people with your truth. So give me a little bit of Tim's truth or two cools truth, but let it be your truth so that it can follow somebody's mouth and it can hang on the tooth where they can to it and digest it. And it becomes a part of them. Yeah, true. My truth is this. Be affectionate to those that are giving you the assurances of your vulnerability and they'd be assurance that you need is the way that you want to grow. And, you know, I got this phrase, go get the air, go some, just tell it right here, you know, by Renee, they car famous a philosopher. And it means I think that for I am. And when you, when you put yourself, you know, my truth is, you know, putting myself in environments that aids to my wisdom, my wisdom narrative, giving me great memory, because memory is essential, you know, it's a very central and key component to your life. And the discipline structure with that comes with, you know, with the way you live and being able to have a good balance in all of that, while staying organized. That's how your consciousness, you know, resignates well and your development, you know what I mean. And my truth is staying constant in your consciousness and developing the balance in behavior is to organize it. You know, see what I got. Where your is that I know it's near somewhere. But yeah, man, that's dope man. I like what happened today, you know, I'm saying, this is definitely a shift from what we normally do, but definitely necessary because people need to hear a little bit more elaboration on the communication and the delivery and the message and all that good things because, you know, some people like to sit and listen and some people like to sit and watch. But what would something tangible that they can walk away with as a resource. Right. Right. We're all based in truth. And as long as we continue to speak in truth, what we want will be. And it's the power of the tongue. And this is the vessel that we use. And this has been another episode of so says Mr. Thunder. I'm Mr. Thunder. I'm a Native American of this country and damn thing you do about it. We got Tim Mason on here, man. I do appreciate you for coming. My brother. You definitely motivate me to want to do more. Because if we want for you, it won't be about me because it's not about me. It's about you. So I say that to say, man, I thank you again. If you want to lead the people with a little bit of information about you. And then things that you have and how you can be reached. I will definitely know that this is going to happen again and again and again until it becomes something that people want all the time. Absolutely. Absolutely. Again, thank you, Mr. Thunder for having me on here since the day we met. I think I have added you to my arsenal of council members that can always be relied upon as I see council. So thank you for, you know, the reliable platform. And gracious divine energy that you bring. And I believe that everyone that, you know, tools into your show will always take something positive away. And as we continue navigating their rating, I think everyone will be, you know, hopefully encouraged and, and, you know, looking forward to seeing my own particular platform coming in development as we speak. So, but the Mason family is what it is. I don't focus on getting things. Got a scholarship in motion right now for kids. And for my alumni and off to the rock high school. You know, we got some things in motion for those kids and the people who are going to their school and trying to seek higher heights and education and academics to go to college. And, you know, more to come, man. More to come. That's dope. Well, as a surprise, my brother. We will be in your area next weekend. Set up an on location session. So that'll be forthcoming. So hopefully, you know, I'm saying we'll be able to get that done. But like I said, man, I appreciate you for coming. You definitely have a purpose in my life when it comes to my motivation and what I'm trying to do and the direction that I'm looking for to the council that I'm seeking. And, you know, everybody's going to eat. Everybody's going to eat and eventually I'm going to be able to bring more people on here, man. I'm trying to get Mike on here, man, trying to get them on here. He, he running from it. He got a lot of good stuff to say too, man. Yeah, we do. I know we do. I know I'm going to try and set it up for this weekend, man. That way, we all get together and have a good time. But anyways, I'm going to go ahead and let you go, man. I'm going to end this podcast right now with a thought. And the thought is, don't think. Just do. Again, Mrs. Thunder, I'm Mr. Thunder. I'm a Native American of this country. This has been Tim Mason, the brother, like no other. I don't know how it's to say it. If you wouldn't have known, we would have grew up together. And it looked like that. So yeah, man. So everybody stay tuned. Don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel, the Instagram page. I also said, Mr. Thunder, too cool to me on Instagram. And then also the, you know, I'm saying, you can find me on all podcasts. So we're looking forward to doing more. Obviously, we getting better and better as we go.
