Let's Continue To Pay It Forward: RIP Nipsey Hussle

TRENTON, N.J. - April 8, 2019 - PRLog -- Despite the best of intentions, any advice given to a person has limitations regarding perception and enlightenment. How much you reveal to the person from whom advice is sought and the advisor's capacity to conceptualize the best course of actions has a vital bearing on the usefulness of the advice. I'm sending my condolences to Nipsey Hussle's family and his Crenshaw community. I didn't know the deceased but his life's narrative disproved a frequent complaint I heard growing up in the Bronx in the 70's & 80's. Back then, the Street Prophets would say, "once people start making money, they seldom give back to the community, move away and are never heard from again".
Today, we find tomorrow's Street Prophets listening to hip hop all throughout our cities' streets, hanging out in malls, bars, posting on blogs, podcast and videos online. Services like Google and Youtube are used for easy access to endless advice. The pitfalls of this approach is qualifying the soundness and credentials of the advisors. It doesn't help when most politicians project their fears and biases instead of providing unbiased advice. Projection occurs when we attribute an element of our personality, which resides in our unconscious to another person or a group. By itself, projection is one of the commonest psychic phenomenas. Everything that is unconscious in ourselves we discover in our neighbor and we treat him accordingly. Projection is a necessary component in our psychological development as it's a primary means by which we can gain an awareness of elements residing in our unconscious. This can expose flawed approaches we thought to be true and provide us opportunities for self improvement. the latter approach when combined with a scalable process, leads to the best possible approach. By scalable, I mean a system designed to handle proportionally very small to very large problems almost instantly, and with no significant drop in effectiveness, functionality, performance, or reliability.
If you're upset by the tragic end to Nipsey Hussle's life and no longer have faith in paying it forward, I suggest you learn the C.E.N.T.S. process. Our inner cities could become better if most the residents surrender and become part of the solution. Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life. Surrender is not the same thing as resignation. One can surrender to the reality of a situation and still take steps to create a different path. C.E.N.T.S. stands for control, entry, need, time and scalable.
I'd take Control by sharing a healthy living visualization exercise. See yourself in a cave, in which prisoners are kept. These people have been in this cave all their lives. All the inmates eat the same food and share the same eating habits.
The cave's exit is not impossible to reach but since it entails making changes to ones daily eating routine, most prisoners stay inside the cave. If a prisoner managed to exit the cave, at first he or she would be disoriented because being exposed to new things may seem intimidating and scary. But as the fear goes away, the person is no longer a prisoner to poor eating habits and is able to make better food choices.
How easy is it to Enter and make these changes is up to you. After learning this, as a former cave dweller, you'll see how bad the choices of your former colleagues in the cave really are.
