I am Joshua B. 18 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: Warren, and each week on this show, I'll be bringing 19 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: you brand new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird 20 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: experiments you can do at home, and a lot more. 21 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: On this edition of the show. The Dark Forest Hypothesis 22 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: plus three things you can do to easily turn your 23 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: bad luck into good luck. Yes, we're going to get 24 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: into that later. Everybody needs some new tips from time 25 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: to time, and uh, well, these are some good ones. 26 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: But first, the dark forest hypothesis sounds spooky. Some of 27 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: you probably know what this is. 28 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: I bet many of you do not. 29 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: I did one of these shows. Let's see, it was 30 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: episode one thirty three of this podcast called Strange Things, 31 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: that was called where Are the Aliens? I also, by 32 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: the way, uh introduced my Aztec death whistle on that 33 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: episode one thirty three. But the big topic where are 34 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: the Aliens? And I kind of dug into how to 35 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: reconcile something like the Drake equation with the Fermi paradox. 36 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get all into that again. You 37 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: can go back and listen, but basically, just to recap 38 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: the Drake equation is this this very precise, respected equation 39 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: formulated in nineteen sixty one by this astrophysicist named Frank Drake, 40 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: and he was calculating all the information that we have 41 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: about all the things that exist out there in the universe, 42 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: and what the likelihood of well, an alien civilization, an 43 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: intelligent alien civilization, being out there, what that likelihood was, 44 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: and basically, you know, without getting into the math, and 45 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the average person can understand it. By 46 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: crunching all the numbers about you know, the Goldilock zones 47 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: and just all these variables, basically he came up with 48 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: this result that it appears there should be thousands of 49 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: intelligent alien civilizations which may currently exist. And of course, 50 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: even though that makes sense on paper, it takes us 51 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: to what so many people refer to as the Fermi paradox. 52 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: And the Fermi paradox is this discrepancy between the lack 53 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently 54 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: high likelihood of its existence. And apparently this goes back 55 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: to a meeting that Fermi was having sort of a 56 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: casual conversation in the summer of nineteen fifty with some 57 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: other physicists, and while walking to lunch, the men discussed 58 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: recent UFO reports and the possibility of faster than light travel, 59 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and apparently the guys were kind of open minded to 60 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: the fact that this statistically should be the case because 61 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: the universe is so big. 62 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: That it's possible. 63 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: But then at one point me blurted out, but where 64 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: is everybody and coming that that question that one sentence 65 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: coming from a physicist of that stature went down in 66 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: history as a paradox. Books have been written about it. 67 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: Where is everybody? And I won't get into again all 68 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: the reasons. I went deeper into this in episode one 69 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: thirty three, But you know, obviously one of the most 70 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: likely explanations is that the universe is just so huge, 71 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: everything's just spread too far apart. I mean, you can't 72 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: imagine how huge the universe versus and we just can't 73 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: find each other or we don't have the technology to 74 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: reach each other. That's probably the simplest one. But then 75 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: there are some other really interesting ones that I think 76 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: are especially thought provoking, such as the fact that you know, 77 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: you and I, we measure life pretty much in terms 78 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: of a human lifetime. So you might say, okay, human 79 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: life is in the neighborhood of seventy to one hundred 80 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: years right now, and so we have a tendency to 81 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: break our lives up into days and weeks and months 82 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: leading up leading up to this, you know, the span 83 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: of years that we consider a life. But that is 84 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: irrelevant when it comes to time and the cosmos, and 85 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: so it may just be that it's very unlikely for 86 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: two civilizations to have matured at the same time so 87 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: that they can communicate with each other. You know, you're 88 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: talking about some incredible synchronicity that these civilizations they thrive, 89 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: but they are billions of years apart when they rise 90 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: and fall, and it just doesn't match up. 91 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: You know. 92 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: This is seriously something that many books have been written about. 93 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to try to dig into all 94 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: the options here in this podcast, but this is from 95 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: a scientific point of view. This is the question, and 96 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: in my podcast called where are the Aliens? The point 97 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: of that one was the evidence that I have found 98 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: to suggest that many of these UFOs UAP, these types 99 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: of beings, they tend to be seen around the water, 100 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: around shorelines and including going in and out of the water. 101 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: This happens all the time, and so I would say 102 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: there's a higher likelihood than whatever these things are, and 103 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: whoever these beings are, there's a higher likelihood that they 104 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: are spending more time in the oceans of the world 105 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: than they are flying around in outer space up above us. 106 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, space from what we can tell, seems to 107 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: be a pretty dead zone compared to the oceans, which 108 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: are absolutely overwhelmingly full of and teeming with life, and 109 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: not only life, but some of the most bizarre forms 110 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: of life that you can imagine. So it would make 111 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: sense that, you know, it's an easier stretch logically to 112 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: say that these beings are living in that environment, in 113 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the aquatic environment, and that that does not mean they 114 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: cannot fly up into the sky and travel in that 115 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: realm occasionally as well, but that maybe that's where they 116 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: are more often than not. And it's kind of interesting 117 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: because as I was doing prep for this show, this 118 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: article popped up here at Fox News and the headline 119 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: is only one type of alien life form could make 120 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: it to Earth's doorstep. This is from a Harvard expert. 121 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: It says biological creatures would unlikely survive journey to Earth, 122 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: says astrophysicist A vi Lobe, And I'll just read beginning here. 123 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: It says a renowned astrophysicist is calling foul on reports 124 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: of alien sightings and Earth's atmosphere, arguing that biological creatures 125 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: would be unable to survive a journey to our planet. Quote, 126 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: it would take about a billion years to cross from 127 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: one side of the Milky Way galaxy to the other. 128 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: A Vlobe, A Harvard astrophysicist said during an appearance on 129 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: gb News this week. Quote, given that I don't think 130 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: any spacecraft that would arrive to us from another star 131 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: would carry biological creatures, and so I think that basically, 132 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: what if I gather the if I get the point here, 133 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: he's saying that, like, it's more likely if they are autonomous, 134 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: they have an artificial brain, artificial intelligence. We have already 135 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: developed that on Earth. We haven't launched it to space, 136 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: but that would be the next step. 137 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: End quote. 138 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: You know what, I have to agree, there's something to that. 139 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, I have talked about these things I called 140 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: oh u fo's and but that stands for organic UFO. 141 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: But really what I'm talking about is some of these 142 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: things that may be like artificial intelligence, that do have 143 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: an organic body and a shape shifting ability. That these 144 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: these things flying around us are not always just so 145 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, black and white as being animate or inanimate 146 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: or organic or inorganic. 147 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: And so. 148 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: I tend to think that, you know, there is a 149 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: sound logic there. And so when we start thinking about this, however, 150 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: and we start looking into reconciling, well, all these beings 151 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: are sub statistically supposedly possibly around us. Where are they? 152 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: When I talked. 153 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: About that in episode one thirty three, I started getting 154 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: some messages from people saying, well, what do you think 155 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: about the dark forest hypothesis? And I was aware of it, 156 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: but i'd never I don't think I've ever really sat 157 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: down and talked about it in particular on this podcast. 158 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: So let me explain to you what the dark Forest 159 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: hypothesis is. As a matter of fact, let's take our 160 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: break first, because I want to dig into this and 161 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: it is spooky, it is eerie, it is unsettling if 162 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: you really think about the implications of this thing called 163 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: the dark Forest hypothesis, because it applies not only to 164 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: the concept of quote unquote, you know, aliens flying around 165 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: out there, but maybe other phenomena that we often consider supernatural, paranormal, 166 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: maybe interdimensional, all that kind of stuff. Some good news 167 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: as I record this particular podcast, we are currently accepting 168 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: request us for customized personalized sigils. We go through phases. 169 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: We'll accept requests for a while and then we'll have 170 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: to shut them off.

And I cannot 202 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: tell you how many emails I've gotten from people since then. 203 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't believe that I missed this. 204 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know about it. Please, please, how do I 205 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: get one? A lot of other people saying I bought one, 206 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: now I want another one.

You know? If we dig into that question, 238 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: that for me paradox some folks bring up what is 239 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: called the dark forest hypothesis, and first off, let me 240 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,239 Speaker 1: read to you what it says here at Wikipedia. The 241 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: dark forest hypothesis is the conjecture that many alien civilizations 242 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: exist throughout the universe, but they are both silent and hostile, 243 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: maintaining their undetectability by humanity for fear of being destroyed 244 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: by another hostile and undetected civilization. In this framing, it 245 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: is presumed that any space fearing civilization would view any 246 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: other intelligent life as an inevitable threat, and thus destroy 247 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: any nascent life that makes itself known. As a result, 248 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: the electromagnetic spectrum would be relatively quiet without evidence of 249 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: any intelligent alien life, as in a dark forest filled 250 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: with armed hunters stalking through the trees like ghosts. Okay, 251 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: for a bit more description, I found this article about 252 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: this topic at big think dot com, written by Scottie Hendricks, 253 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: and I'll just read a couple little passages. The Milky 254 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: Way galaxy has two hundred billion stars and perhaps one 255 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: hundred billion planets. If even a small fraction of those 256 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: planets harbored life, and even a pathetic scattering of those 257 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: planets had life forms, which became intelligent, our galaxy would 258 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: be teeming with alien civilizations. Then, of course we reflect 259 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: back on the Drake equation and all that, and he 260 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: says here, many of the solutions aim at one of 261 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: the variables in the Drake equation and try to make 262 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: the supposed number of civilizations lower. Blah blah blah. 263 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: But this is. 264 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: The Dark Forest solution, which explains why we have not 265 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: heard from aliens because they are purposefully keeping quiet. The 266 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: reasoning is laid out in the science fiction novel The 267 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: Dark Forests by Leu Schicksen. I guess that's it's pronounced 268 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: cixi N. The plot of the book, the second in 269 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: a series, concerns questions of how to best interact with 270 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: potentially hostile alien life. So the argument's laid out, like 271 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: all life desires to stay alive, there is no way 272 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: to know if other life forms can or will destroy 273 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: you if given a chance, and that lacking assurances, the 274 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: safest option for any species is to annihilate other life 275 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: forms before they have a chance to do the same. 276 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: So this all leads to this, you know, radio silence 277 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: and fact. Here's a paragraph from the actual novel, quote 278 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: the universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an 279 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: armed hunter, stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently 280 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: pushing aside branches that block the path, and trying to 281 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: tread without sound. Even breathing is done with care. The 282 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: hunter has to be careful because everywhere in the forest 283 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: are stealthy hunters like him. If he finds another life, 284 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: another hunter, an angel or a demon, a delicate infant 285 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: to tottering old man, a fairy or demi god, there's 286 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: only one thing he can do, open fire and eliminate them. Okay, 287 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: so I think you get the idea. The hypothesis here 288 00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: is that maybe these beings. Uh. Let we can just 289 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: start with the aliens, but you can expand this however 290 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: you want. There they might be all around you. They 291 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: might be in your bedroom, in your closet, in your backyard, 292 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: at your kids' school. Uh, they could be anywhere. But 293 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: they are hiding intentionally because they don't know what the 294 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: consequences for them and their civilization will be. 295 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: If we know for sure that they. 296 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: Are there, maybe they are being hostile towards us and 297 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: the people are being kept in the dark. This also, well, okay, 298 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: let me just mention this because I have gotten emails 299 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: about this. You know, a while back there was a 300 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: news story saying that a bunch of people claim that 301 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: there are these like ten foot tall aliens running around 302 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: some shopping mall in Florida, and all these police showed up, 303 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: and that whole story seems pretty you wishy wash to me. 304 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 3: I mean, look, all I can tell. 305 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: You is I have not I've looked at the video 306 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: footage and stuff that's come out, and I have not 307 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: seen anything that I believe is convincing evidence that that 308 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: story is true. Doesn't mean it's not. I just haven't 309 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: seen any evidence of it. Maybe aliens are all over 310 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: the place. But here's I think the even eerier part 311 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: is that, well, maybe we're we're not just talking about 312 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: aliens visitors from beyond. Maybe we're talking about literally this 313 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: other realm of reality that overlays our realm. That there 314 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: are all of these interdimensional beings that are all around 315 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: us all the time, and they're very intentionally keeping quiet. 316 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: And it reminds one, does it not, of the so 317 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: called shadow person reports. Because people like my friend Heidi 318 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: holl Us, who have spent years studying the shadow person 319 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: phenomenon and similar things, they often find that when somebody 320 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: observes a shadow person, as soon as the shadow person 321 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: realizes that it is being observed, it darts away. And 322 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: if you are brand new to this topic, well, a 323 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: shadow person is just a shadowy silhouette. It's almost like 324 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: my mom saw a shadow person one time. This is 325 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: many years ago. She was in North Carolina and she 326 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: was at home, I think, by herself, and a human 327 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: silhouette across like over in the corner across the living 328 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: room caught her eye and she saw this shadowy figure 329 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: there just very quietly watching and kind of hovering. At first, 330 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: she thought it was me trying to play a prank 331 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: on her or something like that, because my mom and 332 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: I have been jokesters over the years and we've occasionally 333 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: pranked each other excuse me, and. 334 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: So she. 335 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: My mom thought it was me, and she said, Josh, 336 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know, like your bust that 337 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: I caught you. And then this thing turns and very 338 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: quickly vanishes. I think it kind of darted down the hallway, 339 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: and that freaked my mom out because when she realized 340 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: that she was home alone, she knew that well, she 341 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: had seen something there that appeared to be a real 342 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: silhouette of a real person. And so the dark forest 343 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: hypothesis may explain why that some of these beings, whether. 344 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 3: They are out. 345 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: There billions of light years away or they're right here, yeah, 346 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: sitting next to you, why that they may intentionally be 347 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: keeping quiet and maybe even watching us like we're in 348 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: some kind of a zoom. Do you think that that 349 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: is a good possible explanation a solution to the Fermi paradox. 350 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: When we come back from this break, I'm going to 351 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: tell you something about the process that some of these 352 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: beings might use when they come here to interact with us, 353 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: and it leads, interestingly enough into this topic, three things 354 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: you can do to easily turn your bad luck into 355 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: good luck. 356 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: I'm Joshua P. 357 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: Warren, and you're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio 358 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I 359 00:25:40,800 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: will be back after these important messages. Welcome back to 360 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM 361 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, JOSHUAPA Warren, and 362 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: this is the show where. 363 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: The unusual becomes usual. 364 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: Here's something that's kind of interesting to think about when 365 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: you try to comprehend the relationship that we may have 366 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: to other intelligent life out there, whether it be always 367 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: on the physical plane, like other apes like us out 368 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: there flying around that originated from another planet, or if 369 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about interdimensional creatures that morph in an out 370 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: of our world. Whatever they are, we have to think 371 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: about the means that may they may have in order 372 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: to interact with us, to reach us both physically and linearly. 373 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: I mean, for example, are they just traveling across vast 374 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: distances or are they using wormholes in order to overcome 375 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: distances and immediately teleport back and forth? 376 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: I mean all that stuff. Right. 377 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: There is a man that you may have come across 378 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: in your studies of the metaphysical world. He's quite popular. 379 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: Let's see, he's sixty six years old. 380 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: His name is. 381 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: Sad Guru sad Guru. 382 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: That's spelled s A d h g u r U. 383 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: And he is the founder and head of the Esha 384 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: Foundation based in India. I don't know if I'm pronouncing 385 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: that right Esha, but I think so. I says it 386 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: was establish in nineteen ninety two, operates an ashram and 387 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: yoga center that carries out educational and spiritual activities. He's 388 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: been teaching yoga since nineteen eighty two. He does a 389 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: lot of speaking engagements, and hey, you know, he's one 390 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: of these guys. When you look at him, he's you know, 391 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: he's got like the robe and the white beard, and 392 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: he has the cloth wrapped around his head. And I mean, 393 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: he he looks like a guru, but he is extremely 394 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: articulate and he's I've I enjoy listening to his videos 395 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: even though I really don't know much about the guy, 396 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Yeah, and I even bought 397 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: one of his books and uh, and he had he 398 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: made some pretty interesting points in that. But I bring 399 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: him up because the other day I saw he was 400 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: interviewed by Joe Rogan, and at one point in the interview, 401 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: I saw Guru was talking about that what really makes 402 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: humans special compared to other other animals, other creatures that 403 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: we're aware of is our ability to use tools that 404 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: you cannot underestimate that one thing. And he said, you know, 405 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: to Joe Rogan, he goes, you're a strong man. He says, 406 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: what if I tell you to come over here and 407 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: take the screw out of this chair with your bare hands, 408 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 1: and Joe Rogan says, oh, I guess that'd be kind 409 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: of tough, and he says, yeah, you know, he says, 410 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: you might be able to do it eventually, but you 411 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: might lose a fingernail, maybe you'd use your teeth, you 412 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: might lose a tooth, But I give you a screwdriver 413 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: and boon, that thing comes right out. So why wouldn't 414 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: you take advantage of this tool and make things easy 415 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: on yourself? And this extends throughout the entire story of 416 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: human development. It has taken us all the way to 417 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: the moon. The fact and beyond the fact that we 418 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: are master tool makers compared to every other thing out 419 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: there that we see. I mean, there are some creatures 420 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: that use tools to some extent, you know, using a 421 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: stick for this or that. But I mean it's if 422 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: there's any doubt that there's some kind of divine spark 423 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: within a human being. I mean, look at our ability 424 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: to create things by using tools, and so just because 425 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: there are other possible advanced life forms out there, it 426 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they are tool makers like we are. 427 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 3: I am I'm not. 428 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: Certain that you could actually say that a human is 429 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: more intelligent than any other creature. Especially when you start 430 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: looking at dolphins and chimps and all that. I mean, 431 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: we just live in different worlds. We have a different 432 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: set of needs for the environment that we're in. You know, 433 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: you may say, well, I'm smarter than a shark, so 434 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: you know I'm better than a shark. But okay, let's 435 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: throw you in the ocean and see who who comes 436 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: out better in that situation. Well, I think it's also 437 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: important for us to realize that tools they can help 438 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: us achieve extraordinary things when we go out there and 439 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: we explore the world and we experience the universe. But 440 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: it also goes for mental tools, and this is something 441 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: that's overlooked way too much. We have a tendency to 442 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: only focus on things that are our physical and tangible 443 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: that we can literally put our hands on them, and 444 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: that we were crude in that way of thinking. I 445 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: call it wokie thinking. In my book Use the Force, 446 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: and essentially, when I talk about tips for things that 447 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: will help you improve your life by enhancing your mentality, 448 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm basing that on some of my own experiences because 449 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: I think it's really important to have tools to help 450 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: you mentally and spiritually. And it's not a crutch unless 451 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: you just want to be mister tough guy and say. 452 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 3: I don't need it. I can will whatever I walk 453 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 3: I brute force. 454 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: Fine, okay, But I'm the guy who like, if I'm 455 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: going to drive cross country, if the GPS is available, 456 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: I will use it. I like to make my life 457 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: as easy as possible by taking advantage of tools. And 458 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: so that's why, for example, when you go to say, 459 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Joshua Pee Warren dot com, the Curiosity Shop is full 460 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: of some of the best metaphysical tools that I have 461 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: come up with that have helped me. So that's all 462 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: there for you. Well, I say that because I think 463 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: that I'm about to give you an interesting set of 464 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: tools here. And you always need refreshers, and you need 465 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: inspiration to and you constantly need to sort of think 466 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: about things from different points of view. I was watching 467 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: an interview the. 468 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 3: Other day. 469 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: With Amy new and Amy Newmark is the publisher of 470 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: Chicken Soup for the Soul, which is now a big 471 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: entertainment company, and Amy Newmark's she's always making really interesting 472 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: points and giving really good tips to people about how 473 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: to do little things that can sort of change the 474 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: direction of life for the better. And she gave this 475 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: tip that I thought was good enough to pass along 476 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: to you, and I might have misled you a little 477 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: bit because I was saying three things you can do 478 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: to easily turn your bad luck into good luck. Well, 479 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: that's let me be more specific. She said, try this out. 480 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 3: Okay, and I'm. 481 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: Going to paraphrase her a little bit. But take out 482 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: a calendar, mark whatever day it is is day one, 483 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: and go thirty days, and then mark day thirty. So 484 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: you want to basically set thirty days aside for yourself. 485 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: She didn't say use a calendar, but I think that 486 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: makes sense, so you can keep track of it. And 487 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: then every single day for all of those thirty days, 488 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: for each day, you write down three things, three things 489 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: per day that you are thankful for. And you can't 490 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: write down the same thing twice every day. 491 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 3: Come up. 492 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: It could be the simplest things. In my book, Use 493 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: the Force, I have a chapter on gratitude, and I 494 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: say start with just the senses that you have, because 495 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: not everybody has them. Say I'm thankful to have sight, 496 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: or I'm thankful to hear, or I'm thankful to smell 497 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: or to taste or to feel. I'm thankful to have 498 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: my rational mind. You can be thankful for a family member, 499 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: thankful for the roof over your head, thankful for the 500 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: device that you're using right now to listen to me. 501 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: Every day, just take a moment and write down three things. 502 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 3: You're thankful for. 503 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: If you can do that for thirty days, then when 504 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: you get to the thirtieth day, stop and look back 505 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: on your life and compare your life to how it 506 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: was when you started. I bet you it will be better, 507 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: much better, And you don't even have to try to 508 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: do anything except just be conscious and aware of that. 509 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: This is sort of like counting your blessings. In my 510 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: book Use the Force, a Jedi's guide to the Law 511 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: of Attraction, which you can read for free if you 512 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: go to my website, I wrote this, Let's face reality, 513 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: no matter how optimistic you try to be, every day 514 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: can be a struggle. You do not live in a 515 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: tiny bubble, and challenges and problems are always apt to arise. 516 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: So how can you further convince yourself that you do 517 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: live in a friendly universe. You do that by taking 518 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: a moment to be grateful. It's often said the law 519 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: of attraction is no different from the law of gravity. 520 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you believe in gravity. If you 521 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: run off a cliff, disbelieving in gravity won't stop you 522 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: from falling. In that case, the law is a bad thing. However, 523 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: it is also the law of gravity that keeps your 524 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: feet planted on the earth, so you don't go flying 525 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: off into space. Since the law of attraction is constantly working, 526 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, it will continue drawing 527 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: good things to you. If you feel appreciative for the 528 00:36:49,960 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: good things you already have, try this out and let 529 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: me not take an old fashioned calendar, if you've got one, 530 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: or if you I'm getting getting to be an older 531 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: fellow now, so I got the big wall calendar and 532 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I write things with an old ink pit. 533 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 3: Okay, but if you do everything on your. 534 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: Phone, fine, use your phone, do this experiment, and then 535 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: email me at thirty days and let me know if 536 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: your life is better after thirty days of doing this 537 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: writing down three things per day that you're grateful for. 538 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 3: And so thanks to Amy. 539 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: Newmark with chicken soup for the soul for that advice. 540 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: When we come back, it is time for some listener emails. 541 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: I have a variety of them. I'm not sure what 542 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to dig into exactly, but I maybe how 543 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: about Yeah, I got one on doppel gangers. That's a 544 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: topic A lot of people are always interested in that 545 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: and more. When we return, I'm Joshua P. 546 00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 3: Warren. 547 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: Your listen to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast 548 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be 549 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this 550 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 551 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. 552 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: And for hundreds of years, many people around the world 553 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: believed it was impossible for a human being to run 554 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: one mile in four minutes. And then all that changed 555 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: on May sixth of nineteen fifty four when an Englishman 556 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: named Roger Banister, at age twenty five, did it. He 557 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: ran the mile in four minutes. And you know what, 558 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 1: within a couple of months, two more people did it, 559 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: and now thousands of people have done it. As a 560 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: matter of fact, I believe the guy who holds the 561 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: record right now he ran a mile in three minutes 562 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: in forty three seconds. This is interesting because it goes 563 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: back to this idea of mental tools, mental prep, not 564 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: believing that something has to be impossible just because somebody 565 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: else hasn't done it before. And it's also important to 566 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: hang out with the right people that shows you. The 567 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: people that you associate with, if they're telling you all 568 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: the time this can't be done, this is impossible, and 569 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: that affects you, then you're not going to achieve as 570 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: much as you might be able to. If you surround 571 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: yourself with people who make you feel good and inspire you. 572 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: These are little mind hacks that you can use in 573 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: your life, and I hope you'll take advantage of them. Okay, 574 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: let's go to some emails speaking of people that you're 575 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 1: hanging out with. This is a This is a weird 576 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: and spooky one. This came from a man named Tony, 577 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: and he said it all started in the historic two 578 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: story brick house I grew up in here in Amarillo, Texas. 579 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: The year was around nineteen seventy two. I saw the 580 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: same female apparition in my bedroom on two different occasions 581 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: when I was probably seven or eight years old. The 582 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: first time I saw her, I thought it was my 583 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: mother sitting in a chair at the foot of my bed. 584 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: It looked just like her. I remember sitting up in 585 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 1: bed and calling out to her mom, Mom, and no response, 586 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: just a blank stare slightly to my right. I then 587 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: realized this was kind of a hazy, translucent figure. It 588 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: did not take me long to figure out it was 589 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: a spirit lingering in the corner of my room. Although 590 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: it did not seem threatening in any way, I was 591 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: still terrified and covered my head for the rest of 592 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: the night. I asked my mom the next morning if 593 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: she had been in my room that previous night, and 594 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: she said no. A couple of months later, as I 595 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 1: was lying in bed at night trying to sleep, I 596 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 1: rolled over and that same woman was standing right next 597 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: to my bed, looking down on me. She was less 598 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: than three feet from me. She was even wearing the 599 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: same red, yellow and orange flowery gown from the first 600 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: time I saw her. Once again, I just covered my 601 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: head and would not look out until morning. Years later, 602 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: I learned that this phenomenon was known as a doppelganger, 603 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: and then he writes in parentheses, doppelganger is when a 604 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: spirit takes the form of a family member as they 605 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,959 Speaker 1: manifest themselves. It is said that if you ever see 606 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: your own doppelganger that you will die soon afterwards. 607 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 3: End quote. 608 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: That's thank you for that, Tony. And you know what, 609 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: I actually did a whole show about the Dappelganger phenomenon. 610 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 3: Let's see. 611 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 1: It was episode ninety four of this podcast Strange Things, 612 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 1: and it was called do You Have Doppelganger? It's one 613 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: of the weirdest topics out there. So I believe that, 614 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:06,359 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes there may be multiple timelines and you 615 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: a version of yourself maybe out there doing something that 616 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: is not happening on the timeline that you're conscious of. 617 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: And also there may be shape shifting entities out there 618 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: that are trying to blend in by looking like somebody 619 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: that you're familiar with. There's a whole lot of weird 620 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: stuff connected to the doppelganger thing. Go back and listen 621 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: to episode ninety four. Oh yeah, and then Tony sent 622 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: me this other story. Let me read this one to you. 623 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 3: He says. 624 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: Now, fast forward to nineteen eighty two. I was a 625 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: senior in high school. It was just me and dad 626 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: living at home. My mother had passed away in the 627 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: previous year, and my sisters had married and moved away. 628 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: It was a high school night and I had been 629 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: up late studying for a test before falling into a 630 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: deep slumber. I was awakened from my sleep to the 631 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: sound of the hangars in my bedroom clawset rattling and 632 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: scraping up and down the walls. I tried to call 633 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: out for help, but something had a hold of me 634 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: and I was totally paralyzed. I could not move, I 635 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 1: could not breathe, I could not yell out nothing. It 636 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: was like there was a dark, unseen presence in my 637 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: room that night and it had me pinned down. And 638 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 1: this went on for thirty or forty seconds, although at 639 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: the time it seemed like an eternity. Suddenly the hangers 640 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: became silent and whatever had a hold of me released 641 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 1: and I could once again move and breathe. This totally 642 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 1: freaked me out, and it was a long time before 643 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: I ever told anyone about that occurrence. It was many 644 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: years later that I learned about the sleep paralysis phenomenon. Yeah, 645 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people have told me about experiencing this, 646 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: and some have said that it also is well. They 647 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: call it the old hag phenomenon because they see some 648 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: kind of like old, raggedy looking creepy, a witch like 649 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: figure on top of them when this happens, and there's 650 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,919 Speaker 1: like this old tradition that this could be some kind 651 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: of I don't know, some kind of a soul sucking, 652 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, like I guess, like a Sucubis type of 653 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: figure that's trying to take your energy while you sleep. 654 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: It goes back into this I guess, you know, I 655 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: guess the idea that maybe we live in this dark 656 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: forest and there are things that wait until you're asleep 657 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: before they decide to pounce. Right, Okay, well thanks again 658 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: for that to Tony, and now let's go to speaking 659 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: of dark forest, I did a show not too long 660 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: ago saying Beware the Dark Side, and I talked to 661 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: some about how that society can be manipulated by unscrupulous 662 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: people using divide and conquer techniques. And I got this 663 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: email from Diane and she said, after listening to your 664 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: most recent show, I'm wondering if you've heard of Edward 665 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: Burnet's last name is spelled ber Nays. He was Freud's 666 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 1: nephew and is considered the father of public relations. He's 667 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: basically responsible for redefining propaganda and revolutionized advertising and marketing 668 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen twenties by creating campaigns that used 669 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: psychological techniques to manipulate consent on a mass scale. His 670 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: campaigns were so successful he caught the attention of politicians 671 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 1: who hired him for their own campaigns and the rest 672 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 1: is history. If you have not seen this BBC documentary, 673 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: it's fantastic and explains the history of his influence and 674 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: shows how insidious it was and is. We can thank 675 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 1: him for the manipulation that is used today. His name 676 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: is virtually unknown, but the power he had is disturbing 677 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,760 Speaker 1: and it's had the most profound effect on the molding 678 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: of society. This needs to be seen. She gave me 679 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: a link to a documentary. I haven't had a chance 680 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: to watch it, but I did click and watch the 681 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: first few minutes and what I found is if you 682 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: just go to YouTube and type in Edward Burnees, there's 683 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot of documentary information about him. Again, that last 684 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: name is spelled b E R N A Y S 685 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,399 Speaker 1: Edward Burne's and boy, you know that kind of thing. 686 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: It really does make you think about just the amount 687 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: of effort that truly has gone into manipulating all of 688 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: us psychologically, especially now that we have computers and AI 689 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: working on us. You know that when you when you 690 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: walk into a store, they know if you're going to 691 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: turn left or right. I mean, look at the targeting 692 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: that goes on when you're just seeing ads that pop 693 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,280 Speaker 1: up out of the blue on your computer or your phone, 694 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: and you're like, are they listening to me? How did 695 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 1: they know that I was going to buy some beakers? Well, 696 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: they may not be listening to you. Maybe they are, 697 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: but it's like there are patterns that you know, you 698 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: fall into, demographics and stuff, and they recognize all that. Well, 699 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: as usual, we've jumped all over the place. That's what 700 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: I like to do sometimes on this show because there's 701 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot happening in the world and so much to 702 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: talk about so little time. But I think it's important 703 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: for us to remember to focus on the power of 704 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: the Augia Tactos Zume and to always relax and take 705 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: moments to think about what is positive, what is good 706 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: for you, what's going to bring in good fortune for you. 707 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: So I'm about to play the one the only original 708 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: good fortune tone. It lasts twenty seconds, and whatever you're doing, 709 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: try to pause if you can, close your eyes. If 710 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: you can't, that's totally fine, take some deep breaths and 711 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 1: just think about your next week and how we can 712 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 1: make this the best week for you ever. Just think 713 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: about nothing but good things happening to you. Here is 714 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: the good Fortune Tom.
