Death Only Happens To Other People

On this episode of “Your One Black Friend” Podcast, Joli begins by recounting a conversation with her editor Allwin, who expressed existential concerns about aging, suffering, and the cycle of life and death.

Joli challenges conventional views on death, suggesting it may be an illusion rooted in societal conditioning (rather than an absolute end.) She proposes that our fear of death stems from a limited understanding of consciousness and reality.

Drawing on various philosophical and scientific concepts, Joli presents alternative perspectives on the continuity of consciousness beyond physical death.

Joli delves into topics such as simulation theory, reincarnation, and the cyclical nature of existence. She then explores ideas about the relationship between masculine and feminine energies, the fall of Matriarchy and shift to Patriarchy (from moon to sun worship,) and offers a speculative narrative about the origins of gender and civilization spanning Mars, Venus, and Earth.

Throughout the episode, Joli encourages listeners to question mainstream beliefs about aging, mortality, and the nature of reality. She emphasizes the power of individual belief systems in shaping one's experience of life and suggests that embracing alternative perspectives can lead to a more fulfilling and less fearful existence.

Joli concludes by advocating for personal exploration of these existential questions, urging listeners to develop their own philosophies and beliefs to navigate life's challenges. She presents her ideas as possibilities to consider rather than absolute truths, inviting the audience to engage in deeper contemplation about existence.
