I live in SF and paying $3400 for an apt in Oakland is laughable these landlords are so greedy, not even cause Oakland is always like Gotham city with multiple killings a week, people getting robbed in broad daylight and the mayor just got arrested last week. these landlords charge crazy rent! I was raised in a pretty gritty neighborhood in SF & not scared to go out to any of the unpredictable streets of SF but Oakland f no I will not go. I have seen multiple shootings on the freeway, elderly people getting mugged for their money & jewelry,there’s like no line where these people won’t cross. It’s disgusting and the landlords turn a blind eye charging $2800 for a 1 bedroom, why because they themselves would never live in Oakland. It’s outrageous! not worth risking your life for a place you can’t even feel safe to walk outside

You need to focus on what you want then pray for it! You also must be careful what you ask for! Just ask God to only give it to you if it's beneficial to you with no adverse effects. Seems to me after listening to you, you might just need peace! You might be someone who might sell everything they own. Quit their job and run off to another country for a year or two where you stay in hostels and climb mountains, swim, and surf at your leisure. Then sit on the beach drink a cold Heineken while digging your toes in the sand. You could move to Mexico and do this very cheaply in places like Meridia. I think you've been working so much for years that you're now burnt out! It happens! You might need a little time to kick back, rest, and regroup!! Only you can make it happen! Hope this helps. JMO

*LEARN CHRIST* Christ is the only way to know life & your Life purpose. *Without the Bible, God Ahayah & Christ Yashaya, your just a pagun aka 4 ppl who dont know a Satanist unknowingly & unwillingly, ignorantly its a sad reality but its true. Satan fell to earth in the beginning & angels are still falling to Earth now aka asteroids & comets. Wake up to Reality bro society is a lie. Society was literally made by satanist, new masons to be pagun & normalize sin. Its modern day Babylonia in america. Aka daughter of Babylon which is in the Bible. ( fallen angels are Satanic demonic beings. They control these Nephilim & all governments & all religions) Nephilim are fallen angels children aka giants. They mostly died in the noah flood bc The most high God Ahayah flooded the earth to get rid of them. Because Nephilim was basically destroying all life including themselves as well. Without the Most high Humans would've went extinct in those days. ●Basically your depression & all this stuff because of evil spirits aka Nephilim spirits bc human go to await judgement they DO NOT SAY ON EARTH. Aka demons ppl call them as well. ●evil spirits get in you bc of sin & put all these thoughts of depression & etc... in your mind. Thoughts of suicide & all. R@pe, murder. Sin. ●& ppl ignorantly think its their mind. & doctors lie to u. And say your skitafranic & etc.... and they give you medication to help. But in reality its a drugs. That opens you up for more spirits. Look at the label and whats in your medication or prescriptions. Look at the ads/ commercials on tv. U get 1 relief with a million symptoms. & these symptoms/ side effects are like (thoughts of suicide?????)🤔 ummm... its a evil spirit aka Nephilim spirit no ghost. Giving you those thoughts. We gotta wake up to Reality ppl. The facts are there. If u choose to ignore them thats on u. [Just because u don't believe in it, dosent mean its not affecting you or it dosent exist] ●top 1% of the world who own everything are illuminati Satanist new masons. ●proof: Bible. Christ Yashaya was fasting 40 days & 40 nights and satan appeared to him and offered him ALL NATIONS. ■ yes satan controls all the Governments bruh. Bruh stop denying truth u know this. ●look at the $1 dollar bill as 1 example for Many. ●it has a Egyptian pyramid on it. Which is satanic bc Egyptians worships demonic fallen angels its literally written on their walls sacrificing their kids to demons bruh. ●the illuminati all seeing eye logo. The eye. Is satans eye ●the eagle represents rome. Esau . zues aka jesus. Btw look up Cesare Borgia On Google images or on KZfaq . Thats jesus a gay roman a murderer. All religions & holidays are pagun & satanic. December 25th is nimrod birthday a Nephilim. ●the bible describes of Christ really looks like. Bronze colored skin & white hair like wool. Its a black man ppl in modern society say. ●dark skinned ppl are Hebrew Israelites. 12 tribes of Isreal jocabs 12 sons. Gods literally chsoen people. Btw. Roman catholics ✡️ (this star is the star of molock btw demonic ritual symbol for sacrificing) who made Christianity are the same ppl who killed christ, they actually hate christ jews ✡️ in Europe are romans not jews. Real jobs got ran out of their home lands into slavery. Deuteronomy 20-70 chapters gives proof black ppl are the Israelites God Ahayah chosen ppl. God & Christ are 2 seperate beings. God is Ahayah Asher Ahayah( I AM that I Am) he said to Moses. Christ is Yashaya means Savior in the original language of the world Ancient Hebrew. Language of the Heavens . No space above is Firmament waters between the firmament then HEAVEN. Obviously same for hell below. ● no aliens its fallen angels or Nephilim that can shape shift. Ufos 🛸 is angel technology. In bible their called chariots. The most high has his and satan/ lucifer the serpent 🐍 the dragon 🐉 mimics God. Satan has his own chariots too aka ufos. Government ufos. Satan uses the government to make these. Btw anything with a dragon or serpent means satan btw. Any logos & etc... ●alien false doctrine is a thing bc if u believe in space & aliens that means u believe in the big bang theory, evolution, also probably that aliens created us. Its a demonic Satanist lies. God made Adam & Eve. And the Earth. ●theres a action & a reaction. Someone made the bang happen. ●can a computer build itself?? No. ●also alien invasion doctrine is satanic. They get ppl scared of aliens invasion because when christ Yashaya returns he will have his ufos aka chariots and come from the sky. ●and btw the government will fake a alien invasion 1st so when ppl see ufos come out the sky the 2nd time aka Christ's Yashaya's return ppl will fight Christ. Ppl would be programmed to be scared of it. Just like Babylonia ppl will think in thier minds to fight God. Tower of Babyl. Babylonia was 1 mind, 1 language, 1 world religion satanic place that had all the people mk uktra mid controlled or / programmed or u can say sheep. Also things like a micro chip in u. That can control u with frequencies. And vibrations. All religions today stem from Babylonia. Babylonia was separated by the flood. So they separated in different locations & changed/ made their own languages and changed their names. Its all the same religion worshipping the same gods aka satan and his fallen angels & Nephilim. All religions & holidays today are the same. Its funny how no religion & holiday we celebrate in society now. NONE OF THEM ARE IN THE BIBLE.. ●metal illness = is demon possessionm. Unsobor minded. Aka drunk, high or whatever = the same. ●dont eat pork or shell fish its unclean food from the bible. God Ahayah said not to eat. ♡i wonder who read all this?☠️ hopefully u do you'll learn at lot. Its all facts man.

I think it’s just the condition of the world right now. I think everyone is raising to a higher consciousness. Becoming more self-aware. Looking at the thing is they’re putting energy and time into and having enough! My boyfriend has this dilemma as well. He brings in just enough money for us to be comfortable. Nothing too crazy. We recently just had a baby for downsizing because we realize that our house now it’s not worth paying this much for if we can’t even enjoy ourselves in it. Nevertheless, he’s perplexed with the same reality as well. He wrote a book a year ago and wants to revise it put out a hard copy, and he is writing a second book. He’s into poetry, and all types of extracurricular things, but he doesn’t have the time to do them because life does not afford a stat. A lot of the times he tries to find time to be creative but he’s exhausted from his job. It’s really insanity !

Insightful. I was in a similar situation. Our parents pass their anxiety onto us, but it's not even their fault as they don't know they're often doing it. It just gets passed down. The programming of worry. It takes a while, a long time, to train the brain and body and realize there isn't an immediate threat to safety and security, and to realize that even if there is a threat, most things are out of our control regardless. Mindfulness helped me a lot. Books like 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels I liked, as well as the Tao Te Ching and learning to set boundaries.

I’m sorry Ruben, but this actually kept me up last night. I am concerned about your point of view and perhaps there are some misunderstandings we can clarify. It is not Women’s job to make sure that Men are not ‘dangerous.’ Also, in my opinion this thinking in itself is dangerous. Get creative. Get resourceful. If a man leaves his ‘dangerous side’ up to his one female partner to be responsible for, that sounds like a dangerous man for her/anyone to partner with. Be accountable. Not having sex with, and not having a long term female partner is absolutely no reason to do things like what you mentioned can happen; like “people going into a school and doing bad things.” There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO reason that it is EVER OK to harm, violate, or do things to someone that they do not consent to [except perhaps in instances of self defence]. Let me know if you want to talk about this further.

He is right tho, sexual frustration is a very serious problem nobody looks at, I think you are looking at what was said one dimensionally but you have to look at this from all view points, Men and Women are different and need different things to stabilize our lives.

@MsKb1238 ай бұрын
I think this is an incredibly important conversation - for our society- not just here at the video… and how can it all possibly be said via messages? I don’t deny that sexual frustration is a thing. I am curious of what makes it so hard to work with/through. I wonder if people who are experiencing something relatable to this video can take on lot of insecurity; feeing like they need to meet a certain societal standard, and when they feel they don’t, they might tend to want you to express that, and don’t have the tools to do it safely so they do it aggressively… could this be? I am also curious if we all - but Men specifically in this instance - can take back our power, and not make it our partner’s responsibility to keep us accountable? Why does not seem possible for you? I acknowledge there is a challenge for men - within themselves and within society, around their sexuality, and their desire to feel ‘wanted, purposeful & successful’ (is this part of the motive? I’m only presuming). I also want to acknowledge your desire to feel and express your full range of human emotions, including vulnerability. I am curious if women often really do want you to be the ‘hulk-like guy’ you described, or if you are expecting that of yourself? I am also curious if you guys have considered this point of view - that “men should not be single [because they could be dangerous]” - from the women’s perspective? Does it mean that you are ‘centring’ yourselves to get your needs/wants/need-to-be-accountable met by someone else because it’s too hard or you don’t know how to do it for yourselves yet? So, does that mean it’s ok to make that someone else’s responsibility? Why is that ok?
@moonbasemonkmode4418 ай бұрын
It’s not a woman’s job, it’s society and the culture’s job to make sure everyone is safe and no one is dangerous. A man doesn’t have to be dangerous either. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy. That’s men opting out of dating, avoiding women at work, refusing to help women even when a real dangerous man is harming them. So even if they don’t harm you, they won’t protect you when someone else is. More men aren’t going to colleges, or joining the workforce. And of the ones that do, many are saving their funds and leaving the country for other cultures. Why? Because they don’t have a RELATIONSHIP or FAMILY tying them down to this one. So are individuals flawed for wanting relationships (normal and healthy, and prior generations never had to cope by “volunteering” or something to fill the void lol) or is our culture flawed for not facilitating them?
@MsKb1238 ай бұрын
@@moonbasemonkmode441 Yes, I agree our society/culture would benefit from evolving how it supports people & relationships. It is not possible to make a sweeping generalization about any of this. I think our culture has actually made people think that a relationship is one of the only ways to find meaning in this life, which is sad, and makes people who are single feel crappy. I think in this 'era' where hyper-individualization has made the desire or need for a partner feel more important since it is less and less common to have a community of people to help you out. One thing that I don't think is a great solution is for people to rush into relationships, or to force relationships to work that don't work well for both parties in order to have someone that keeps them from feeling lonely, or to help pay the bills. Obviously, there is so much more to this and so many different scenarios. To answer your question... No, I definitely don't think individuals are flawed for wanting to be in a relationship. Realistically / statistically, not everyone will find an amazing fit of a partner immediately in life. (and yes, volunteering might seem like a silly example... but it was a 'generic' enough example to try and get my point across... I guess what I was getting at was something like finding ways to act in service to our community - one or many people - perhaps a platonic version of showing love & care - my guess is that would build relationships, community & a sense of purpose while one is not partnered... I'm totally open to other suggestions; I think Ruben making these videos is an example (although being with other humans in person is another medicine). It's not common that one can immediately solve the challenge of finding a partner, so there will be periods of time being single).
