[size=0pt]Enter Dimakatso discourse with the creator. She comes from a rural town. She finds herself in the dazzling street lights of the Gauteng metropolis. She is trying to cut her teeth in the military sector as a soldier. The military organization is a highly stratified society and in many ways sexist and racist. This is a military organization during the pre-1994 political dispensation. As a Black woman, her challenge is to overcome the systemic barriers of gender and race in order to make her mark. Dimakatso decides that in order to make her mark, she needs some design improvements from her creator. This conversation with the creator is already in progress:



The Creator: What exactly is the problem?

Dimakatso: Your Holiness! I hereby bow before you to motivate my request. Thank you for granting me this opportunity to address you. I am a woman in a patriarchal society. As if that is not bad enough, I am also a Black woman in a society that is fixated with racial ethnicity.

The Creator: Are you suggesting that as a creator I made a mistake by giving you a Black skin colour and somehow you are disadvantaged as a result of my design decisions?

Dimakatso: The Black skin colour is beautiful and as a matter of fact I am proud of my Blackness. I wouldn’t trade this for another colour. Nonetheless, even though I have an equal opportunity like other humans to architect my own destiny, there are these systemic variables that are outside my control. I am constrained by social constructs that are designed by man to frustrate my ability as a human to be the master of my own destiny. I want to change that and for that I need the ability to transcend these variables.

The Creator: What are these systemic variables that are preventing you from getting ahead?

Dimakatso: The social construct of gender is one variable that I have no control over. It is the chauvinist society that constrains me as a woman through the mechanisms that stream my role in society. Race is another variable that I have no control over. Another variable is the lack of economic access to the opportunity to become the architect of my own fortune. The objective existence of these constructs of race, gender and lack of access is disempowering to say the least.

The Creator: How can I help?

Dimakatso: I need some transcendental powers to overcome the triangular challenge of these social constructs.

The Creator: Others are struggling with the same challenges and many have managed to make a breakthrough on their own efforts which means that given enough effort, time and the right mindset you can also overcome your constraints. Why do you want to be treated differently?

Dimakatso: I don’t want to be treated any better than others. It would be unfair to receive a preferential treatment while others have overcome the same barriers on their own efforts without assistance from the creator. I respect that and salute those exceptional individuals.

The Creator (interjecting): Moreover, if others are able to do it on their own and you are not then by assisting you I would be promoting mediocrity. I can’t promote mediocre performance. You have to demonstrate through your exceptional performance that you have what it takes to defeat those barriers you are talking about and it’s only when you demonstrate a flawless execution with respect to your efforts that I can perhaps consider intervention in the exceptional case where the problem might be a design shortcoming. You have to demonstrate a design flaw.

Dimakatso: When the great mongoose approached you, you gave her a molecular ability to transcend a snake bite. Definitely these are design improvements that imparted transcendental powers and gave the mongoose a survival advantage. I could use some of those transcendental powers.

The Creator: You are not facing a risk of a venomous bite as a result of your gender, race and lack of access, are you? Why should I treat your case as an urgent matter?

Dimakatso: I am not in an immediate danger of that. However, I need a change in my brain chemistry. I need to enhance my serotonin levels so that I can command mood stabilization when tested beyond measure. I think I have a good mindset in terms of not allowing adversity to cloud my judgement but my lower levels of serotonin pose a real danger with respect to my ability to transcend and think correctly about adversity.

The Creator: You are a very wise woman. I agree that no matter how good is your mindset, if the serotonin levels are low then you are at risk of being degraded by adversity which can inhibit a survival maximizing behaviour. From now on, I will enhance your raphe nuclei neurons so that the flow of 5-HT is increased. Despite the intensity of adversity that befalls you, you will always maintain a level headed mindset with an ability to recover from setback.

Afterwards

After her conversation with the creator, Dimakatso entered the military academy with a more robust mindset. Her sleep patterns improved tremendously since the pineal gland which manufactures melatonin for inducing sleep also functioned in a more robust fashion. Melatonin levels require high levels of serotonin as a precondition. If the individual gets enough sunlight which induces more serotonin then it means that they will have better sleep patterns.

It does not end here. The individual must also have good recovery from setback. When befallen by adverse conditions, they can’t be brooding over that. They must shake off negative mood states because failure to do so will trigger another neurotransmitter known as epinephrine which blocks the molecular action of serotonin. This is where mindset is critical to a positive mood state.

Boosted by these new improvements in her brain chemistry, Dimakatso was ready to face the world like a victor and not a victim.[/size]

I love this story

Did you write this ?

dalaman:
These story is completely false. Remember the greatest snake bite healers using incantations are Indian gurus. I will post a video where a renowned Indian magician who claims to use incantation and voodoo to cure people of their snake bites failed when asked to perform his trick in broad day light. He had to confess that he had no such powers. I will post the video when I get on my laptop. And I will also wait for you to post your own video not words of mouth.

Here he goes calling what he does not understand false . Please go away . In real life , people will feel your arogant when you fail to explain the "tricks" behind certain events and accuse them of lying . Its either you guys get overly pedantic or you falsely accuse the person of lying

Please If you have a video of you eating your breakfast on October 2 , 2015 . You can post it here for me to believe you did eat breakfast on that day .


I prefer gatiano 's very unique way of perspicaciously explaining things . It does not have to be necessarily true but it makes lots and lots of sense . He didnt accuse me of lying

dalaman:
These guys are committed to finding the truth about supernatural ocurrance. They are magicians that have spent years leaving people astonished with their tricks. Darren Brown for example tells people that he only uses tricks when performing but some the people still disbelieve. Watch his videos On YouTube. James Randi has dropped 1 million dollars for any body that can prove that the supernatural is real under a controlled environment. The money is still there all those that went and tried all failed, their tricks were exposed. I'll rather believe those that are famous and have made millions of dollars performing magic over what ever you have to say about magic.

Please stop calling someone's name with a challenge he put up . He simply wants to make more money and learn new tricks from fellow tricksters and improve on them . There is entertainment and there is real life . You are really gullible

Its an open challenge. You can contact any vodoo man you know in naija and take up the challenge.

Take anybody you know that can prove the existence of the supernatural. You can take that your snake man there let him use his incantations to cure deadly snake bites and win a million dollars. Don't you wanna win a million dollars?

Why not take up the challenge and demonstrate it, since you believe something came from nothing.
You are a very sick and rigid individual for calling peoples experiences false.
You could as well have expected me to video my friend struggling to breath, so i can show him later.
You need help.

I should have known you have nothing. You claimed to know someone that uses incantations to cure deadly snake bites. I want you to take the person to where he will perform the same feat and win a million dollars. Instead of hastily embracing the challenge you are trying to run away from it.

You are making false claims. Incantations alone can not cure any body from a deadly snake bite. It has been demonstrated to be false. I will post the video later. If you have any video to support its veracity just post it already.

Messi scored a wonderful solo goal against getafe, mikel tried to demonstrate the same feat but lacks the capacity.
A very "open-minded" person like you would call messi's ddmonstration false because mikel tried it and fail.

Never you use the word "open-mindedness" ever again.

You must be crazy .

I read articles on the challenge and its a myth actually .


Dalaman : Can you prove the supernatural

Me : A magician made a pin to appear from nowhere

Dalaman : You are deluded , that is a trick not magic . There is no such thing as magic . YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED

Me : But scientists say the universe came from nothing .

Dalaman : ....

Me : Sorry Dalaman , YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED

Dalaman : Damn , I didnt think of that

He makes silly requests . So someone is snake bitten , his parents were troubled , maybe not strong christians who then decided to rush him to the native doctor . Then to prove to dumb dalaman somewhere in Nigeria who doesn't give a f.u.ck that the encounter is true , they should have have brought out their mobile devices and started videoing their dying son being treated .

And these are the people who parade themselves as logical rational humans

No, I didn't write it, I got from a Basotho Elder. Ever since I came in contact with the reality of ourselves as Black people, I had always hunt for the knowledge. I get which ever I can get online, through books or blog and with those I meet some personally.
You'd be surprised where most of our self and true education come from.

Do you recall that all children between the ages of 3 and 8 to almost 10 are always brilliant? Then suddenly at their secondary education through the class 3(Jss 3) they just become dull, stubborn and just appear to be angry all the time.

From the age of birth till age 7, All children only learn things according to their own reality. They never take in nothing other than that which they've self-percieved.
But they were taught 1+1=2 in school, Yes and they saw it in reality like that. 1 tomato + another 1 tomato= 2 tomato according to childrens' perception but 2 tomatoes to indoctrinated adult.

A child goes to the bar beach and couldn't see the end, he/she already knows something is not right but would never conclude that it is round simply because he/she didn't see it.
Children are a wonderful, brilliant scientists, and their curiousity is of the outmost marvel. Their sense of touch, taste, sound, colour perception, sight, feelings is a 100%. They eat only when hungry(they call for food, and if not enforced). But there are no words yet to quantify all that they see and do(evidence of the first language which is speechless).
Then suddenly between the ages of 7 and 9, when they are ready to gather information externally, What do we feed their brains? this is where the jam is caused.

Why did I write this that you didn't ask for? I wrote it because it is a source of learning "The saying remember who you are" Age from conception till age 7 to 9 is your/our natural personality. We can learn an endless knowledge from the info/datas we had gathered at those times- It is a source of knowledge.

The non-blacks had already attacking that long ago, why? It turns out that only Black children are capable of this magnificent observation.

That is the link to the Basotho wisdom, from where I got the story, which is actually a reality.

Did you write this ?

To add to what I just wrote, I get this knowledge from the Elders and/or Initiates (All Blacks). From Africa(top to bottom), Oceania, Asia, Olmec, All their teachings always say the same thing. One would say the diameter of the earth is 7,926 miles, another would say 7900 miles; The reality is the the diameter of the earth varies and they give average or close to its specific size.
The reason why they mean the same but seem different to the blind person's perception is to avoid us from turning into a religious freak.

Messi is on video displaying his abilities in front of millions. Bring your so called vodoo man that can cure deadly snake venom using incantations alone or admit that you are telling lies. There is one million dollars to be won.

You aren't going to do it to please me, you'll do it because you stand to win 1 million dollars which is about 280 million naira.

Scientists don't believe that something came from nothing. Don't get your scientific advice from creationists who believe in something that doesn't have scientific evidence.

Everything in the universe is made up of energy; based on available evidence, we haven't seen a process that can destroy energy.

If anybody says that the big bang is the beginning (something out of nothing) either doesn't understand or is withholding info to fool you. The big bang denotes the EXPANSION of the universe from a single point of concentrated energy.

People only deliberately use dishonest tactics in arguments because they know that they don't have convincing arguments.

EDIT: extra paragraph.

The big bang theory is like starting from the middle of a fight story .

... Emeka and Obinna had blood stains on their shirts . Emeka who had a swollen eye threw a massive punch at Obinna before the police separated them .

What caused the big bang ? .... What caused the fight ?

That's still under research. See, these take years of research with sound minds going over things like this. I know you're going to say "ha, that means God did it" but that really doesn't hold any water. When we didn't know where rain comes from people said it was God, when we didn't know about bacteria, diseases where said to come from the supernatural realm. But what happened? In the end, ignorance gave way to evidence.

That's probably going to happen in this case. Dude, there's even a chance that we'll find out in our lifetime.

Till then, bruh!

They're not talking about 'something from nothing' but rather 'order from chaos'. Which makes perfect sense because scientists have observed the movement of free particles in space.

No one ever said disease came from the supernatural realm instead they said diseases were used by the supernatural to inflict pain on anyone . Which is true . Even God used diseases - boils - to punish the Egyptians in one of the plagues .

As an atheist you cant agree or disagree to the above .

That's probably going to happen in this case.

There is no research to be made that will silence God . Man has not been able to find answers to the holes of cosmic evolution and he wants to find what caused the big bang ?

Anyways thanks for exhibiting faith in science which has its many limitations but you overlooked and strongly believe will provide your answers to questions concerning the universe .


Weird you guys mock Christians who have faith in God but cheers anyway .

Don't you just love the way antitheists hide behind ignorance?

Of course knowledge keeps on increasing but PRESENT knowledge suffices to rule out chance as being responsible of the the incredible complex and ordered life. For instance, just as no amount of knowledge changes the FACT that it is IMPOSSIBLE for random processes to generate a Subaru,no amount of knowledge can turn abiogenesis hoax into a fact.

Little wonder 'scientists' shy away from Origins. Did you know they worked super hard to drop the term 'chemical evolution' and instead adopted abiogenesis?

If you are going to explain how life has evolved in complexity, you need to explain where life came from in the first place

They stutter a lot when it comes to Origins . Why start building when the foundation is weak (or no foundation at all ) ?

Making bold claims like God does not exist . Become pedantic and see them leave you with science will find the answers . Become overly interested in space science and they tell you they know very little about the universe .

What I'm saying still stands, all creationists do is shift the goal posts. There's no evidence that anything supernatural exists. Your holy book has scientific and historical errors coupled with questionable morality, think about it. If you weren't a christian and someone was telling you that people were living up till 700 years won't it be ridiculous?

If you want to rule your life with the Bible then you should pack up and go to the plantations because it endorses slavery.
