In the day and age we currently live in, some would have you believe TRUTH can be altered. Almost no one has an issue with their personalized versions of the truth. However, nearly everyone takes exception to the complete and in-context truth. 

Many, from the white house to the outhouse, have subscribed to the notion of alternative facts and partial truth. The truth about absolute truth is that it is uncompromising, immutable, and unbiased. This is evident by the debate on what is actual history and if it can be taught in public high schools. Some would attempt to make you believe that the Native Americans volunteered to be placed on the reservation and that slavery wasn't as bad as some make it out to be. Additionally, 2 years removed from the last presidential election, there are still people who believe that the election was rigged and stolen. This, after and despite being presented an overwhelming amount of evidence that would assure a logical person that this narrative is incorrect.     

As individuals and as a group of people, we cannot afford to deceive ourselves into believing that some contrived version of the truth will promote our growth, maturity, or our personal and or spiritual relationships. It's one thing to be ignorant because one just doesn't know. It's a completely different thing when one knows but chooses to not apply knowledge obtained. That is the worst kind of ignorance...Willful Ignorance. 

No, this isn't a political podcast in nature. However, these examples serve to illustrate how dangerous a mindset of "MY TRUTH" is. We are focusing on the individual responsibility or lack thereof of people to and for The Complete Truth.   

We have outlined serval confrontational questions for consideration. And, we also outline correct measures that can be implemented in one's daily life to walk in and under the guidance of Complete Truth.

In this episode of the Essential Discourse, we complete our two-part series. As you can see by the Episode Title, our Discourse is about money. Specifically, how each of us can be better stewards of this resource. 

We define two key definitions and provide five steps to practically develop great habits that will not only enhance your appropriation of money but will also put you on the pathway to thriving with the quantity of money you currently have.

This is part 1 of a 2-part series, we want to address two resources that seem to be in short supply for many of us. For the purposes of today’s episode, Time is the resource we are focusing on.  

Time as a resource is of a limited quantity and is in high demand. Yet, most people waste a significant portation of this commodity.  Let's identify and examine the how, and the why of "Time Wasted". Hopefully, we can also share a few practical solutions along the way.

The 2022 election cycle is upon us. And, Election  2024 will be here momentarily.  Are you ready? Do you know what the candidates' platforms are? There is too much on the line for you not to know. A  position of political maturity ensures that our needs are and will continue to be met.

Our, (Black, White, Male, Female, and any other descriptive you identify as or with)   progression as an ethnic, social-economic class of people relies on our ability to make intelligent nonpartisan decisions that will impact our communities the way we desire. 

Being united in pursuit of solutions for our common issues is how we overthrow our common enemy by making use of the full weight of the ballot. Take race and emotion out of the equation and you have a group of people who have the same needs and desires. Affordable health care, livable wedges, a better future for ourselves and our children, communal safety, and the assurance that our elected officials operate in accordance with the will of the people.

For too long we allowed what differentiates us to prevent us from being united against our true enemy.  That enemy is greed and power accumulated by one group of people whose only goal is to grow their wealth and the wealth of their friends while keeping us (poor people) divided and powerless.  We have the power to correct this if we exercise Political Maturity.   

This episode features commentary from the DL Hughley Radio Show and George Carlin’s 2005 interview.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Monroe Louisiana radio personality Damian "Grave Digga" Harris. Grave Digga shared some of the highs and lows of his 25-year career with us. Grave Digga gave us insight into the music industry, pitfalls, relationships, and future plans.  

This was in many aspects a trip down memory lane. We hope you enjoy Episode 0. Please provide your feedback on that platform of your choice.    

Rest In Peace DJ Starr

An insightful and reflective review of the content presented in Episode 1 "Parenting Adult Children". Here, in Episode 2, we hear from the  Adult Children's Perspectives. Let me tell you, I'm a better person and father as a result of this conversation. 

As parents we make mistakes. Those mistakes should never include not being able to admit that we've made mistakes. Therefore, we all have room to grow. 

My children were open, honest, and had the freedom to respond to what they heard in Episode 1. They were encouraged to express their emotions and reflect on the methods of parenting they had experienced. Additionally, they offered their unique perspective as adults in reference to not only lessons taught and learned, but also what they actually needed in place of "teachable moments".  

We've repaired some bridges and built new ones over the course of these two weeks. And, we shall continue to keep moving forward in strengthening our relationships. This is our #Hope for all persons who will actively listen.

Just as no one provided you with an instruction manual specific to your baby, toddler, tween, and or teen, no one taught us how to parent our individual adult children. This has been a daunting task for many of us. A task we really do not discuss with our peers or family in an enlightening way. Most of our communication with other parents who are in this unique situation amount to a venting session at best.  

And, for those reasons listed above, I believe the subject matter is an outstanding topic for   Essential Discourse. When we are able to understand that our children are individuals, will and most make their own decisions and deal with the consequences of those decisions we can let go. We can let go knowing two things if we've taken the responsibility of stewardship seriously. The first, is that they have been throughly equipped to deal with circumstances of life regardless to have they behave. The second, is that life will teach them what they would not adhere too with us being their instructors. 

Life is about choices, failures, lessons learned, growth and maturity. As parents of adult children, we can not allow ourselves to become hinderances to our children's adulthood development. We most learn to transition from the authoritative roles into the role of advisors.
