My favorite Dr. Greg Carr sayings, " Oh no question!", "Let's be very clear", and the one that makes smile every time, "In fact, I have a book..." . These classes are everything ❤
I love "Let's be very clear," too!
#Priceless 😎
“Oh no question!” Lol he will say it twice every time.
Kwame Toure famously stated : "Let , Us Be Clear"
Religion is for comfort, spirituality is for guidance...
facts. (and religion is also for control)
Karen Hunter Show I wanted to state that but i figured after the revelation of the “slave bible”, many would have learned the obvious, but sadly, many have not 😔. Dr. Carr is dropping 💎 S! Thanks for this Karen!
Jonathan Dew
Religion is for the ignorant, and Spiritual is to subscribe to Superstition.
I like the Stevie Wonder song, “Very Superstitious”.
@@lajonelliott7155 is that fact or your opinion?
Karen Hunter Show
It is very much an opinion that has information rooted in facts as well. Just like the notion of religion is an opinion as well, which is why there are over 5,000 different religions that are practiced by humans today. Because if religion was a fact there would be one true “Accepted Religion” by all rooted in fact, which there is not. Now what say ye Ms Karen Hunter?
It’s so crazy because the deeper you dig into African history and culture.... the more you learn on literally everything from math science literacy.....it’s like if you wanna understand any thing in the world just start with Africa and you’ll find all the knowledge and information you need # Amazed 🖤
I tell you the truth, They say Jesus fed the masses with two fish and a loaf. You and Dr. Carr are our two fish, and your class is our loaf. And I can't wait until next Saturdays banquet.
blessings!
2 fish 5 loaves

@@geovanajalio4200 I'm not a Christian, I just remember it was fish and bread
@@ralphjackson8295 ok
Maybe, we could do a live watch of “Black is King” with Dr. Carr, so he can explain of the symbolism of the video to help us digest it.
Love that idea
That would be such a treat....i so wish they do it
Dr Greg Carr ain't gonna give Disney another penny!!!😜 we better take in all we can cause he ain't watching it again😂😂😂
@@riri-rose lol. I'm so glad to be in the sompany of Black people who see thru Disney. I couldn't help but side eye the Beyonce project initially because who would put Black Excellence on Disney?
Yeaah, cause it kinda went over my head..
We need more of these talks in our community, we don’t talk enough about our spirituality systems, because if we do, it’s evil. So shout out to Dr. Carr and Professor Hunter today.
Yes ma’am! It is 150 years overdue.
Best thing about Saturday mornings is waking up to Karen Hunter In Class with Carr!❤️🖤💚✊🏾
Our Story Told Backward🤔
Let God Speak:
“For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”
Isaiah 14:1-2 KJV
“When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 32:8 KJV

Deuteronomy 28:68 KJV
“And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.”
Deuteronomy 28:68 KJV
“For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
Deuteronomy 7:6 KJV
“The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?”

Hebrews 8:10 KJV
This is one of the deepest episodes putting many things we do as a culture together that seems innate! Wow!
Dr. Carr is a national treasure. It is not to many smarter than him.
gifi11 Professor Hunter as well.
Class is is session!! The gathering of black minds is truly a balm particularly after the horrors of this last week. RIP King Chadwick Boseman. Thank you, Professor Karen Hunter and Dr. Carr.
yes yes yes, i told my daughter (who's currently childless at 30) that i've carried every child she will have.
This is an awesome conversation! Thanks Dr. Carr and Ms. Hunter
I love when Dr. Carr spins around and spots "that" book!! 📖 📚
DGF 627 LOL
Me, too!! He's excitement makes me excited, too!! lolol
Don't forget the theatrics with his signature laugh. Love it!
He has an impressive library
@@janicemcmillan9910 I agree 👍
Dr.Carr and Professor Hunter up early dropping knowledge!
This is always the best part of my Saturdays ❤PLEASE never discontinue this segment. This show is nourishment for my intellect, spirituality, and ethos.
My grandfather gave me my name-name. Let anyone else try to use it and hands was flying. Lol, Dr. Carr taking me back.
I feel like Beyoncé tried to give everyone in the African Diaspora something to identify with in Black is King. We will only accept the parts we recognize and throw out the rest. She did give a shoutout to all of the diaspora in the credits.
Janet Burrus i don’t follow no person. I follow The Most High.
And if you have questions about what you see you see you should research it before you make ignorant assumptions.
@Janet Burrus You worship freely now, but remember, if you are BLACK, what you worship freely was forced upon your ancestors. That "thing" on her head dates back to Africa. We would know this if we were not stolen. Please educate yourself on it.
@@JloveLamar thank you! There is so much I want to reply but you basically said it.
I've never, in my memory, ever seen or heard anyone with such knowledge or recall. We are truly blessed. Thank you.
My grandmother used to burn her hair that was shed each time she combed/ brushed her hair. When she became unable to do her own hair, she insisted that we burn it. I was literally screaming when Dr. Carr mentioned that part.
Got my pen and notebook. Ready for class. (Even Dr. Carr's wardrobe teach Black history. I love it!)
I've probably said this before. Dr. Carr is my Dr. Clarke of today. Dr. Clarke was a master teacher who teaches so you understand.
I hope the young people that have the privilege and honor of being taught by this great scholar of a man realize their blessing because I certainly do. Thank you Karen.
This made me tear up as I realize all the knowledge I don’t know 🤔
What a living breathing walking resource Dr. Carr is!.....what a whole experience, delivered in such vivid 'technicolor'. Thanks alot Dr. Karen for the Saturday classes....black history, art and culture slaps in another way over here, lotsa love from Kenya.
Dr. Carr is incredible
Yep. The example of drinking coffee was not permissible "until you're old enough."
My elders used to say you couldn’t drink coffee until you had hair on your chest. Same thing with wine, alcohol, and spirits meaning you had to wait till maturation. It was a level of achievement given to you by an age of maturity and understanding.
I have start of the slave mentality when I hear our people say " I was born poor and I will die poor" this philosophy keeps one in a state of poverty and lack of motivation to become our best selves. Thank you again for the opportunity of learning ❤️, 🌞, 😊
I love the Saturday classes with Dr. Greg Carr,but for him to have a Martn Delany shirt on a few hours after my wife just gave birth to our son we named Delany after Martin Delany, it's just mindblowing!!! Thank you Ms. Hunter for everything you do for me and my family with the knowledge you provide. I'm in tears
"we come here every Saturday with LOVE"........"Evil is in us"...."there's the capacity in you to go straight""how do we understand our experiences?"....."a metaphor for all our desires'.."the thing in life is to be Generous"......"the purpose to be on this earth is to work on Character".....thank you for what you do.....till next week....stay well
A very special thank you to both of you for this conversation. I opened my 'Women of Color in the United States' class at Purdue with 'Brown Skin Girl' by Beyonce and 'WAP' by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Students were required to VIEW the videos and to READ the lyrics from paper and respond to what they saw, read, and interpreted. I had sat down with my 14 year old daughter to watch BLACK IS KING together AND I sat her down to watch WAP (uncensored) together. It was URGENT for me to watch WAP with her because of my own FEARS about being woman and raising a developing young girl. I often give her the real, the raw data she needs to process the world. I did NOT view BLACK AS KING as URGENT because of fear, it was simply NECESSARY for her self development because her father is from Ivory Coast and I am from Louisiana and I practice Ifa. Long story short, BOTH videos were necessary for the reasons Dr. Carr has broken down as it relates to the Crossroads. My students find FEMALE EMPOWERMENT as the common denominator in each video. They mentioned the lower level and the higher level of what it means to be a woman. I truly appreciate this and I may get my students to listen to this show for their C.E.L.L activity. Lastly, BLAKE, OR THE HUTS OF AMERICA is phenomenal! I wanted to say more but this was too long for a TH-cam comment. Love to both of you. Tell Dr. Carr 'hello' from Jolivette and Nadja (my daughter).
Love this! 🖤🖤🔥
Hello fellow Boilermaker! I graduated from Purdue! I always get happy when I meet/learn of other blacks that went/go there. I had to just say hi 👋🏼 got excited when I saw you were at Purdue.
@@18chaney Greetings, thanks for reaching out. Much love and Boilerup!
I just love Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr...that is all.
We love you.
I LITERALLY just came on TH-cam to watch the last episode again, completely forgot it was Saturday and here it is, another episode!!!
Dr. Carr needs to be created into a superhero, because this man's knowledge is POWERFUL.
He'd be that elder who lives in a humongous library with every known text in the multiverse! I can see it now...I wish I knew how to draw!
Thank you Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr...I love y'all so much. Stay safe, stay on code. 💙💙
No keep this thought. Its actually vivid and incredible in my mind. I can visualize that...
@@KimbeANi Thank you! I've been tuning in to these conversations for about two months now, and it just hit me!
His name even sounds superhero-ish!
"Alexandria Mind Man". Outchea stupifying and hypnotizing ppl with his knowledge.
I am literally dead at the title 😂😩.. not God, WAP 🥴, and Beyoncé 😳
“The name signifies power” 🙏🏾
I love Saturday class!! Can't wait until the book club and book is online!! A day without learning is a day wasted!
I look forward to class every weekend This the silver lining in Covid's dark cloud. Excellent
Brilliant class today and thanks for mentioning Noble Drew Ali. And the two selves the higher self Wich is the embodiment of love,truth,peace, freedom and justice. And the lower self that breeds hatred,murder, lewdness,theft and everything that harms. Dr. Carr touched on a lot of Moorish Science today and I give you both high honors. Peace!
I love these conversations. Thank you Baba Carr and Sister Karen.
When I think of the ocean I feel Yemaja/Ast, and when I think of the rivers and streams I feel Oshun/Het Heru. I feel Beyonce held these two Orisha/NTRU in balance in Black Is King as she called on us to face our inner demons and come back home to our true selves.
In my opinion, Black is King was an amazing interpretation of The Lion King through the artistic lense of Beyonce's understanding of African Cultures and Spiritual practices. I found the artistry of it all to be outstanding.
I did not fear the darkness because she started with light. I felt she would bring us back to the light. And I know that out of the darkness comes the light.
More importantly, I trusted myself and my personal relationship with God to reveal the message that was meant for me in it, and to keep me focused on the ultimate purpose of all experiences, which is to stay steadfast on the journey to our best selves.
I love you both, and this ongoing conversation, and will continue to lift you both in love and light. God bless.
Was literally in tears last night..needed this this am 2 bring some balance
Thanks so much for the break down of Black Is King, It's sad when our people don't know their own cultures, and therefore readily dismiss them, while watching the short film i was so emotional, because I'm fortunate to know much of our ancestry culture, so i understood everything i saw, but was sadden by the fact that many of my friends and family didn't understand, therefore they began their negative comments, thanks again brother Carr and sister Karen, we appreciate y'all
I had the same experience as you. I felt very enlightened. I knew there were deeper meanings behind the images, and I don’t believe Beyonce is evil.
I completely agree - it was truly an emotional and spiritual experience. We should be celebrating black excellence in this brilliantly executed piece of art. I truly appreciate his invite and review. They need a part 2 to actually explore further
Sister Karen, oil and water don't mix. It doesn't mean the oil is bad... Doesn't mean the water is bad. The two just aren't compatible. It's all love. I'm not cooking my steak in water... And I'm not putting oil in my tea 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️. Just incompatible energies.
Definitely felt that energy before, when I was deep in the church, and heard that first DMX album in my cousins car. All I remember saying is "Get thee behind me Satan" that whole trip. My whole.spirit was messed up.
Just got chills...Dr Carr is connecting all the dots in my soul. Thank you.
I saw a study where people who are left handed, at some point between conception and birth, was a twin. If only one twin survived, the surviving twin was left handed. I did an “informal” by asking everybody I came in contact with who was left handed if they were a twin. Two days after I saw the study, I met a cashier in Rite Aid who was left handed. When I asked if she was a twin, she said “ yes”, and her female twin is right handed. She paused for a moment and then said that she gave birth to male twins two years earlier. Only one twin survived, and that twin is left handed. Down through the years, I’ve asked everybody who I meet who is left handed, if they are a twin, 97% say yes, whether the twin is male or female. Those who say they’re not or don’t know, always say that twins run in their family. BTW...what really fascinated me with this whole thing was that my mother was one of 7 sisters whose first born child was a male, and all these males were left handed. Amen.
Thank u for these gems 💎 u got me connecting dots of revelation
“...The Africanization and Indigenization of America...” Wow! I asked for a decolonization of my mestizo mind - and I’m getting it.
Listening to him talk about left handed people made me think back to every time someone found out I was left handed; they seemed shocked. Wow, this is crazy
I love how Dr. Carr get soooooo excited 😁. I love him ❤
Dr. Carr brings so much enthusiasm to his lecture, I just love it and him! Loving too, the way he brings his message full circle “filling the Bus” using examples and the ancestors to bring the point home. A very knowledgeable brother
Born and Raised in New Orleans Dr. Carr, I've been hearing that my whole life, im a chef and i still dont eat tomato sauce and i count my socks every week.
I enjoy how the Great Dr. Carr breaks down the Bible in Ten minutes. Thank you 🙏🏾 Greatly for the Edutainment.
Yes Dr Carr! Shout out Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright! He officiated our wedding in ‘98 and I will always go hard for this gift of a man!! He’s brilliant!!
Today was valuable lesson.
Thank you Karen Hunter and Dr Carr for exposing the truth.
Nothing better than getting that notification of In Class with Carr and a cup of coffee
I have been grappling with my Christianity for the past few weeks and whether I still believe in God. This was the Word I needed today because this is exactly the part I was struggling with, White Christianity.
I LOVE discussions & lessons on religion. We need to understand the history of African Spirituality. Amazing & informative. Looking forward to next wks discussion.
Beyoncé’s Black is King was truly a gift to those who know or seek to know who we truly are. it was an emotional and spiritual experience that should be seen. We should be celebrating black excellence in this brilliantly executed piece of art. I truly appreciate Dr.Carr’s insight and review. This greater understanding of the film and its message, symbols etc... is needed for all those who seek to connect back to ourselves. They need a part 2 to actually explore further - this is Dr.Carr’s lane - please continue the review next week???!!!
As a lefty, I loved this history! Y'all are the absolute BEST.
Hey there fellow leftie 🖤
Amen ! Brings the upper world down to the lower world & activates what was said. Dr Carr and Karen thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & wisdom ❤️
I have been rewatching these "In Class..." episodes. Hearing this again, I am reminded of how my grandmother must of have been teaching me how to move in the world. She used to send me downtown, with her credit card, as early as 14 or 15yrs old. I was sent to one of the department stores to purchase things for her. I felt so "grown;' but, she always reminded me that I had to stay in my place.
Karen Karen Karen....great respect to you for having Dr. Carr online with us every week! May God Yahweh of the Most High bless you continuously! These FREE online class you allow us to attend is priceless! I am blown away with this knowledge that I have been seeking for the past decade. Phenomenal teaching!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you soooo much, Paulette! I receive the blessings!
I wake up planning my day around these discussions. Dr Carr and Karen will have you going broke buying books. These class discussions are the hidden blessings of this horrific pandemic.
dope!
I learned of Dr Carr on Roland Martin and I loved the knowledge that was shared then I stumbled upon this show with Prof Hunter and am so glad I did!
welcome to this family!
I so loved the discussion today. It is true that “nothing is new under the sun” because the Africans have known it from the beginning! Thank you for the discussion on being left handed. Now I know why I often feel like “I have been here before.”
OMG! Never knew what the bottles in the trees meant. In the movie RAY w Jamie Foxx, there were bottles in the trees outside of his childhood home. And I've seen them in other movies as well. Once again, love this Saturday morning thang.
Love they way the two of you vibe... Prof. Hunter you smile during the entire class.👀
Blue notes!! I love how versatile he is! 🤯 so well read. Everything is connected
RIP Chadwick... you gave us everything, EVERYTHING you had. You made many whole.
🙏🏾
Indeed 🙏🏽👑
There is power in the name of Jesus/Yeheshua. I’ve seen Jesus’ power at work in many ways, many times. You’ve got it Karen!
Indeed, the Most High knows His own no matter the name!
I just started watching Karen Hunter Show, with Dr. Carr. I love it. I have seen Dr. Carr on the Roland Martin show. This show is one that fits my mind set and now I am addicted to listening. Dr. Carr is a God sent to me at this time in my life. Thank you so much Dr. Hunter for this platform.
you are so welcome, Harriet (and I'm not a Dr...I just play one on TH-cam).
I hate that I have too much going on Saturday mornings. I appreciate this being available for me and others to listen to later and to share it. Great discussion!
OMGoodness, Karen & Dr. Greg Carr!!!!!! YES, YES, YES!!!!! Thank you!! Doctoral student here - feel like I 'ain't' nevah been to school!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Blessings, Y'all!!!
Thank you, Lois. Blessings back to you.
Dr Carr is one of the very few great thinkers who can go off in many different directions in what seem to be far flung tangents, never forgets where he's going and brings you back to the central point in a way that changes your whole way of seeing. Love love love this man.
Mane this brother Dr. Carr & Sister Hunter are so very inspiring to me. My high school basketball coach used to say, “I SEE YOU!” when would do something good/great on the court. Crazy! To the point where I started saying in coaching and otherwise. Transcendent.
Reporting for class 📚✊🏾
Me too
Hello Karen and Dr. Carr. I will suggest you guys review Dr. Frederick K.C. Price lesson series "Race, Racism, and Religion". This will be a eye and mind explosion of information. It's very in depth and revealing series of lessons.
🤔... I believe there is a duality in humanity. Pardon my ignorance, but I choose to believe that good and evil live in all of us. Recognizing my own capacity for good and evil allow me to not be a slave to either🤷🏾♀️. I could be wrong tho
I believe it isn't the choice between the two, but the balance of the all = Ma'at. Jmho~ 🙏🏾💯
☯️
No, we are born not knowing good nor evil. Whatever our environment allows we learn and grow into. If there was such a place in this world that did no wrong and only walked in love, truth, peace and togetherness and it was blocked off from the rest of the world, and as a newborn you were born into such a place that would be the only way of life you would know; you would only know how to do good, there would be no bad side in you. The scriptures says that we were born in sin and no righteousness is in us, what religious interpretation tries to make us believe is that we are cursed by sin from birth, but that's not the case, which is why I've heard ministers say "If the parents is saved and righteous their children's are automatically saved and righteous; but they won't tell you it's because children's learn from the environment they grow up into. If the parents are sinful hell raisers, the newborn is going to grow into being a sinful hell raisers, but if the parents are good, temperament, loving and righteous respectful people who believes in GOD and doing right, the newborn will grow into being the same as the parents, but because there's outside influence from the world that they are born into then the choice of good and bad is forced upon all of us. We are born pure.
Melinda I believe duality is inherent & as we age awareness effects choice.
Also I believe the unfortunate circumstances of many born with imbalanced genetics, that attributed 2 negative traits/outcomes in some are also inherent.
@Janet Burrus Thank you for your reply, I agree with everything you stated because I too was raised by and under believing parents who taught sound wisdom and in the ways of righteous living, not religious living, but doing what's right and beneficial for the good. I see clearly what is going on in this world, as a matter of fact I was blessed prophetically to foresee back in 2008, and again in 2017 the start of what is happening in this world and the outcome of what is going to happen in this country as well as around the world. Everything that is happening now in America has been plotted against us, TMH knows about their secret plot against us, but what they don't know is using their plot to execute His plan for our deliverance; had they known about His plan they would have aborted their plot, but just like those who crucified YAHSUHA, just like Pharaoh once evil enter into the hearts of the wicked all they see is their thirst for the blood of the innocent.
Greg spiting that fire man. Continue my brotha
After this week, "In Class with the Dr.'s" is TRULY a balm! God bless and thank you, again!
Love love love these classes!! Another amazon order being placed for books!
I love these classes. I could listen to Dr Carr all day. Thank you Karen for introducing me to him.
He has been around for a while, I'm just grateful that gives his time for these classes.
This is an excellent episode... Love all the book references Dr Carr drops...
This lesson has so many levels, its going to take much time to process these gifts. Thank you!
Again Karen and Dr Carr thank you for the lessons. Please continue to educate us. I have to watch this again cause some of this went over my head. Again, thank you both.
Hey hey, Ntchru Maat Hotep!! Another Saturday master class, always PhD level thought & conversation, wow!! The point is to "Know Thy Self" & to do that you have to look, see, listen, hear, read & then critically think!! Thank you my Sister and Brother for facilitating my efforts to Know Myself!! One Love!! Maat Hotep Ankh Ujad Seneb!!
I swear those books are literally taking over your space Dr. Carr and Karen, love it!💛💛💛 Having a hard time with my faith, everything has been challenged. But I understand to keep searching because life is a journey.
KAspie... Your not alone... The challenges are very difficult. But my desire to keep learning is my way of strengthening myself. Peace & Wellness to you always! "💎"
@@djembethompson1899 Thank you so much, that means alot! You are not alone either🙏🏾 sending peace, love and light💛💛💛✨
I love Saturdays!!! You two are the best teachers. Somehow, I missed the live class today so glad the lessons are tapped.
it's only LIVE once a month, top of the month. So, next week. You didn't miss a thing.
Hi Class!!!! I know I'm late watching, but THANK GOD we get a twofer. I love our Saturday class. I always tell others about it, but I have to realize that not many are ready for this type of conversation.
never late...
Incongruent. I thought i was the only person who took a pause from the video but didn't understand why! I always unpack gifts, inside gifts, inside gifts here. Thank you.
The breakdown of the vibration energy is absolutely compelling. The implied responsibility when we unlock and yield such energy is humbling to contemplate. I am in awe at the wisdom and truth our siblings are spitting week to consistent ass week. Bravo.
When Dr. Carr talked about controlling the whole diagram by position! Yes Karen: "I know it to be true" This is a great session! That song's notes & vibration is it!
I love your wisdom Dr. Carr and appreciate your passion. May the Lord continue to keep you in perfect peace.
That thing that is in you to cause you to go left ... my mother called it hatefulness. She used to tell me that I could be hateful . I find myself now telling my daughter the same thing . Yet I am honest with her and left her know that I carried those traits at the same age . Yet I decided when I was young to lead a life of reflection, generosity and kindness and am at peace .
Life demonstrates universal laws, rules and patterns.
What a blessing to have this. I LOVE Dr. Carr's passion to share his knowledge. Please keep it up. It is inspiring.
53:06- 53:39 GAVE ME LIFE!!! This entire video is intellectually AMAZING!!!!
I LOVE Saturdays! Thank you, Dr. Carr! #lifelonglearner #inclasswithCarr
Mind blown once again! As someone who has a keen interest in Brazilian culture, there are so many dots being connected this morning, and I am so grateful to you, Karen, and Dr. Carr for being who you are in earnest, and providing this nourishment. But I realize that the true gratitude will need to show up in my actions in this world, at every 'crossroad' that presents in my life going forward. I think so many of the things we need to learn happen when they're meant to happen, and not a moment before. With the greater knowledge comes more power and more responsibility- I worry that I won't have enough courage or wisdom to make the right moves. The story of my recent ancestry (white, european) is getting the power and enough material knowledge to destroy, but not the wisdom to control that power in constructive ways. But now I think maybe I can go further back in this journey to the origins of humankind in Africa, and see a better framework for things I've always sensed intuitively
but could never articulate until hearing the words of Dr. Carr. There's so much to learn and apparently no shortcuts, but I'm reminded of Gilberto Gil's lyric: "Cada Tempo em Seu Lugar" ("Each Time in Its Place"). Perhaps having humility is itself good, to prevent one from getting too far ahead and swerving into over-confidence. Anyhow, thanks as always for this blessing. ♥️
(Cassandra)
Thanks so much to Dr Carr and Prof Karen for the opportunity to attend these classes and continue to learn.
Our pleasure!
This class gave me goosebumps. The knowledge dropped today has changed my life forever. As a young adult, I've always struggled with the concept of 'eternity' within the Christian faith. Today's discussion has given me the insight that I needed to seek beyond.
When my Frat Brother of Dr. Carr speaks on Eshu, I think about this lyric "Allegba, meet at the road/a following soul, young to the old. Walking in the path of the pure is not easy as they contemplate, but I am obligate to demonstrate" - Brother J of the X-Clan
Whew, so much unlearning in this class. I love it. Clockwise is backwards. 😯
Once again, Dr. Carr is killing it!!!!! Thank y'all so much!
