what I found was cheap ex the God best reincarnated with some more common sense science okay so I was the top of today is about karma chakras and Kundalini and another [ __ ] time of throwing in but I want to speak about this topic because

I was listening to a video that my brother Javon Clarke made right and a post he made saying karma is [ __ ] right and I was like no I use that word karma sometimes although people always know that X was against the chakra talk

Kundalini talked I said that [ __ ] is Indian right so but I never tripped on the word karma right so just I was like this is a bunch of bull Shannon level of brothers if I shout out to javonni so he

was talking about mother [ __ ] he talked about sovereign is posed with other carbons mm-hmm I think he got no point here so it made me start researching karma right every time every leak I delve into the research the meaning of karma every single time and

led me straight to Hinduism every time right so karma it was really not what I thought it was as in cause and effect it's a little different okay karma let me just read with this with this with one of the main differences karma in Hinduism and Buddhism is the

sum of a person's actions and this in previous states of existence buuuut as deciding their fate and future existences so it's not just talking about your existence today it's tough questions if you make reincarnate your existence in another state if you reincarnated 200

300 years from now returning to a [ __ ] fog or whatever it is it's a different spin Hinduism has on it that we use here as black Americans every time I started studying karma and the meaning and doing some further research it led me straight to Hinduism same

thing as fake-ass chakras the Kundalini that [ __ ] is invisible its Hinduism I'm not bullshitting you it's Hinduism Kundalini karma chakra is Hinduism and Buddhism talk it has nothing to do an

african spirituality whatsoever nothing at all don't even try to relate it let's just draw a line and say this is Hinduism Buddhism in Indian ideology and spirituality and we have over here African spirituality separate that [ __ ]

don't blend didn't motion all together happy walking bills just keep it real this is Hinduism a lot of you sisters are Hindus Yaya's sisters are Hindus so I don't I don't ride with karma no more it's a lot of bad people up a truck for

instance dark chocolate [ __ ] didn't bid on it why the money over is lies Oh suddenly get to become president and win when this carnival effect his ass he's steady winning and winning and when Carmen is not talking about an

individual and their light as it is today over the next 20-30 years just talk about future since previous existences of the plane existences should affect in you that way so karma I agree Jabbar Karma's [ __ ] Mitch Raja karma ain't affected the

White man at the heart of hell, he didn't put people through on earth. Everybody didn't affect him yet he still, still, I'm sayin' so I'm sorry. It's Indian, so the light assistance, I use the term chakra princess. It was funny. In love, students get pissed right.

There's no such thing as a chakra. It's an Indian Sanskrit script word, has nothing to do with African spirituality. See what we do, we leave the church and come to the Afrocentric community and get to read and see things about spirituality, and we're

trying to find another form of theology and spirituality that we hadn't in church, but we come over to the Afrocentric conscious community and do the same thing. Embrace belief systems. See, we take beliefs and rise and steal other people's culture. There was still

the word karma. We, we change up the definition a little bit to fit what we wanted to me. That's theft of other people's culture for real. If you want to believe that, just, just embrace Hinduism. You might as well. See, if we get lost in

the sauce and it's a lot of particulars and reasons involved because we're still, as a whole, and to police. I've never spoke out against Eve Abudu and stuff like that, but I'ma say this: a lot of things we, we grew up with

we call they call superstitions. There's an old superstition thing real. It's the old superstition in ancient times. They had superstitions and practices because it's where the knowledge was, where their mind was at that time. As time and thousands of years

were worn at weddings of years ago. People changed because we get information and knowledge, and we realized some things were superstitious or falsehoods or didn't work. I tell people all the time, Buddha and Haiti, Buddha is not what weak the white men for the French and keep

the friendship by the Haitian when Haiti freed itself. Physical bullets, physical guns kill them crackers, not voodoo weird stuffs. And that they use voodoo to win and get them and get their freedom. No, they didn't make [ __ ]

First of all, they were there was a part of French armies and things like that already. They were warned already in blending, but when they decide to go against the French and the Haitian Revolution, they use bullets and guns. Voodoo was kind of like a prep for the

mind to get you in each other's drum, just get you spit. It's like basketball players listen to rap music or whatever you lose, they listen to and they take it and they and they lock the room and just get they mind ready for the game, for the

war, for the fight. That's what voodoo to me. It's very simple, this in a nutshell. So the voodoo got their minds when they got them height to go out and do the physical thing. It wasn't the voodoo, it was a physical thing. So sometimes we carry on these old

ancient traditions because we're searching and seeking spirituality. You came about a Christianity, we're looking for different things. Okay, I'm gonna tell you what we need to do. Boo, clothing, shelter [ __ ] all the other [ __ ]

right for garnish chakra kundalini karma pour it in this [ __ ] [ __ ] all this [ __ ] people into karmic was the kundalini and chakra talking all this because it's

easy they say [ __ ] biology physics right anthropology I mean real sciences engineering how does it sure don't want to do that too [ __ ] hard learn too much [ __ ] biology that's real [ __ ]

it's testable and proven in facts but I got it chakra talk is easy it seems cool seven chakras and all it's all [ __ ] it's faith there's no such thing as a chakra it's a belief there's no such thing as

Kundalini ancient Africa ancient Egypt West Africa did in didn't embrace no Kundalini is not African okay so if a people were to start a nation a need engineers they need intelligent disciplines okay real [ __ ] you mean real [ __ ] that

will change we can't hop up here go somewhere tie my hair my chakras aligned I need you to get some [ __ ] electricity going on around here I need you to get some agriculture going on
