I am Joshua pe Warren. 11 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: At each week on this show, I'll be bringing you 12 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: brand new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments 13 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: you can do at home, and a lot more on 14 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: this edition of the program. How you can use placebo power. Now, 15 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: this is such a fascinating topic. I love it. Okay, 16 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: did you know there is a popular prank you can pull. 17 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: This happens a lot, I think like hazing college students. 18 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: What you do is you take a glass, just to 19 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: short glass, and you pour some tonic water in it, 20 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: which is nonalcoholic, and then you put a nice big 21 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: juicy slice of lime on it, and then you take 22 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: it to somebody and you say, okay, if you get 23 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: free drinks tonight, but take it easy. These are stiff, 24 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: all right, And you start feeding a person these completely 25 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: nonalcoholic drinks when you are telling that person it is 26 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: still alcoholic. When you do that. After a while and 27 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: not very long, the person will often start acting really 28 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: really drunk and like like the village anyway, okay, look 29 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: basically so drunk that the person can actually fail a 30 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: filled sobriety test, you know, the kind of test like 31 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: a police officer would give you if a breathalyzer isn't around. 32 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: That's what they used to do back in the old days. 33 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: This happens all the time. And you know what, I 34 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever actually tried this out, but I've 35 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: seen videos and I've heard stories about it, and so 36 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: but I've always thought that was really interesting. I have 37 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: no reason to believe that the person would fail a 38 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: breathalyzer test, but the person's behavior definitely changes. And then um, 39 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: the person, of course starts acting so uncoordinated that again 40 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: he or she could even fail a test. This is 41 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: an example of what is called the placebo effect. That is, 42 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: a placebo is a Latin phrase. It means I will please, 43 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: And this dates back, oh gosh, hundreds of years. And 44 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the funniest thing is is weird as that may sound, 45 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: the placebo effect will often work even if the person 46 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: is told in advance then it's a placebo. So and 47 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: there are cases where you could actually say this is 48 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: tonic water, there's no alcohol in here, and this is 49 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: a slice of lime, but you're going to feel drunk 50 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: and the well, you can get the same effect in 51 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: many cases. So the placebo effect, it's weird enough that 52 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: it works at all, but it's especially weird that it 53 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: works in so many cases even when the person knows 54 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: that it's a placebo. This is absolutely fascinating to me 55 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: because it shows how much sort of creative power that 56 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: we have when we start focusing mentally on an expectation. 57 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: And this actually relates some to the self fulfilling prophecies, 58 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: of course, that I've talked about in the past, and 59 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: I think I might circle back around to that. But this, 60 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: this element of the placebo effect, is perhaps the closest 61 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: that some type some types of clinical scientists have come 62 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: to actually documenting this mysterious phenomenon that takes place when 63 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: we manifest things. When we create things, whether we create 64 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: good things or creepy things, materialize a ghost or a 65 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: UFO encounter or a new job or whatever. Okay, all 66 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: of us are sort of magicians, and some of us 67 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: are just poor magicians and they can't get it right. 68 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: But you can learn, you can learn. And uh, before 69 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: I go further with this, I just want to read 70 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: you sort of the the official definition of the placebo effect. 71 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: And this is actually a topic that comes to me 72 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: as a listener requests because I did a show about 73 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: this phenomenon on my old podcast called Joshua P. Warren Daily, 74 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: which is still out there. There are hundreds of shows 75 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: that you can listen to for free, uh if you 76 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: don't mind some you know, raw unedited content and sometimes 77 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: some R rated language. But for the purposes of this show, uh, 78 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, I figured, let me revisit this because I 79 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: know more about this now and it's just become more 80 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: fascinating than ever. So if you actually go to Wikipedia 81 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: and you look up the definition of the placebo effect, 82 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: it's actually, I think a pretty harsh description which gives 83 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: you an idea of some bias here on the part 84 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: of whoever wrote this, because you know Wikipedia, anybody can 85 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: chime in all these things that are kind of controversial. 86 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: It says a placebo is a sham substance. It's like, 87 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: whoa hold on? Sham. That's a pretty strong word to 88 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: start with, isn't it. I looked it up. Here's the 89 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: definition of sham. It says bogus or false, or a 90 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: thing that is not what it is purported to be. 91 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: So I guess that's kind of true. But is it 92 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Is it a sham substance or is it just a 93 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: substance that is producing a mysterious effect? You know, we 94 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: we look, let's not get to the semantics, but we 95 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: go back here to what it says, a sham substance 96 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: or treatment which is designed to have no known therapeutic value. 97 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: And common placebos include inert tablets like sugar peels or 98 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: inert injections like sailine you know, salt water basically, and 99 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: other procedures and in general, placebos can affect how patients 100 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: perceive their condition and encourage the body's chemical processes for 101 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: relieving pain and other symptoms. And uh, and then they 102 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: go down. You know a list of different types of 103 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Uh of ways this has been used, and it says 104 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: here the idea of the placebo effect was discussed in 105 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: eighteenth century psychology became more prominent in the twentieth century. 106 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: Uh doctors believing they are clinically important. So anyway, Um, 107 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: they repeat what I was just saying. It's placebo. Placebo 108 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: is the Latin for I shall be pleasing, And it 109 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: says in a clinical trial, a placebo response is the 110 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: measured response of subjects to a placebo. And then uh, 111 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, you get the idea of all these things 112 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: that people are attributing to the placebo effect. A lot 113 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: of people say it relieves them of pain and nausea. Um. 114 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: So anyway, look, I have found personally that when when 115 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: scientists go out there and they start running tests, they 116 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: get very frustrated when they do not have a success rate. 117 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: So it's like and they and they never do because 118 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: so there's always a margin of error there. And so 119 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: whenever a studies being done, even with some type of 120 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, firm medication, some type of you know, established 121 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: chemical reaction that's supposed to happen, there is always this 122 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: period of this again, this margin of air of this 123 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: space that's left open wherein and well this, you know, 124 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: we didn't give the person this thing, but the person 125 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: had the effect anyway. Well we can't explain that. So yeah, 126 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: let's just dismiss that as part of the margin of error. 127 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: And so I think it's kind of irresponsible to say, 128 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: well maybe that, you know, studying that margin of error 129 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: is just as important as understanding, um, everything else about 130 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: this entire testing process. I mean, some scientists have gotten 131 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: so specific that they say that they have found that 132 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: if you do these tests and you give people a 133 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: yellow placebo pill, it seems to be most effective at 134 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: treating depression. Red pills cause the patient to be more 135 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: alert and awake. Green pills helped to ease anxieties. Uh, 136 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: white pills seem to soothe stomach issues. And they say 137 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: it's it seems to work best when you take them 138 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: at least, you know, four times a day. And if 139 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: there's a brand name of some kind that's stamped on them, 140 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: that also works better than having nothing written on them whatsoever. 141 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: So we have to take a break. We come back, 142 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: I want to talk more about like what might be 143 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: happening here, because some people think placebo is just bs 144 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you no, there's something important here, and 145 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some tips on experiments you 146 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: can do to tap into that power and use it 147 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: to your benefit. And listen to this. I am going 148 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: to be moving soon. I will tell you more about 149 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: that in the future. But it's a great time for 150 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: me to give away some free stuff because I don't 151 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: want to have to move all this stuff that I had. 152 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: I buy really cool things for myself and I'm like, 153 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't need all this stuff.

Welcome back to Strange Things on the I 172 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: Heart Radio and Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast Network. 173 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua pe Warren, 174 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, 175 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every 176 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: night is silver. And why do you think that so 177 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: many people instantly believe that the word placebo means bs? Okay, 178 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: if it works, does that make it BS? No? Well, 179 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: but if it works but you don't know how it works, 180 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: that makes it b S. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Okay, 181 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: Well that does us a lot of good. Huh what 182 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: kind of how um, how how un curious non curious 183 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: would you have to be to see the world that way? 184 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: To not be like, well, no, this is actually the 185 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: most interesting part of this whole process. How does that 186 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: work when when this is this is the mystery here. 187 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: And do you think it's possible that maybe we rely 188 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: upon technology, including medical technology uh too much as a 189 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: crutch sometimes, and that you'd be surprised what you might 190 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: just be able to do for yourself by taking advantage 191 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: of this mechanism known as the placebo effect, even if 192 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: you know that it can work when you know it's 193 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: a placebo. Uh. I mean, this is what is so 194 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: incredible because it's it's giving us more insight into our 195 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: relationship with reality and the fact that you can put 196 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: yourself in a certain state of mind in which it 197 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: might help you to just make something happen, even if 198 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: you don't know how it happens. A little later, I'm 199 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: going to tell you why that faith is overrated. Uh. 200 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: And I'd love to get into that right now, but 201 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: just hold off for a second. So I find this 202 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: whole thing amazing on so many levels because we're not 203 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: just talking about data that should be dismissed as people acting, 204 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, their imagination or what. No, we're talking about 205 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: some kind of an interesting power here that many humans, 206 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: if not all humans, possess. And I think that any 207 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: manifestation tool takes advantage of the placebo effect to some degree. 208 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: And you know, over the years, a lot of people 209 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: have asked me, how do I think something like the 210 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Wishing machine works? And the simple, honest answer is, I 211 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody knows. It is a mystery. Uh. And 212 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: then I will often follow up and say, but what 213 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: if the wishing machine is somehow the most effective placebo 214 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: that has ever been created by humans? Maybe that's it. Uh, 215 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: So what if it works? And uh, you know, it 216 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: makes your wishes come true? And you say, that's good enough. 217 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: We don't always have to know. Someday we may have 218 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: more information. However, I will tell you that personally, I'll 219 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: pause here and get off on a side track here, 220 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: because I think, in my opinion, the Wishing machine does 221 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: not solely work as the product of a placebo, because 222 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: that particular device has got quartz crystals inside of it 223 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: arranged in a kind of circuit. And you might say, okay, well, 224 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: what does that have to do with the power of 225 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: belief and all that? Well, I'll tell you, look there, 226 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: technology is real. You can you know, believe you're gonna 227 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: fly and flap your arms all day and you're it's 228 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: not gonna happen unless you get on an airplane or something. 229 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: So now there is a real thing called objective technology. 230 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: And I think that one one reason the wishing machine 231 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: is so powerful is because it does have quartz crystals 232 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: and very special types of crystals and a special arrangement. 233 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: And I always fall back on this. This is one 234 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: of my favorite articles. This is from Scientific American. This 235 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: was published almost ten years ago and team by Timothy Horniack, 236 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: and it says data saved in quartz glass might last 237 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: three hundred million years. And they go on to say 238 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: that many laboratories still rely on magnetic tape blah blah blah. 239 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: But it says Hitachi recently announced that it has developed 240 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: a medium that can outlast not only this old school format, 241 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: but also CDs, DVDs, hard drives, MP three's whatever. It 242 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: says the electronics giant partnered up with Kyoto Universities Kyo 243 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Takamura to develop these little slivers of quartz glass that 244 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: can preserve information for hundreds of millions of years with 245 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: virtually no degradation. They say it's a little square of 246 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: quartz two centimeters wide and two millimeters thick. So think about, like, 247 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, like how a little glass microscope slide looks. 248 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: We'll imagine a little square that's like half the size 249 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: of that probably looks like half half of one of those. 250 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: And it says it houses four layers of dots that 251 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: are created with a special laser, and the dots represent 252 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: information in binary form. And it says that, uh, these 253 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: can be read with various optical microscopes because the layers 254 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: are embedded, surface erosion will not affect them. And it 255 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: has a storage density a little better uh than that 256 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: of a c D. And it goes on to say 257 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: it was undamaged. Well, now listen to this when exposed 258 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: to one thousand degree heat for two hours in a test. 259 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: And the results of that lead ha tach to and 260 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: to conclude that this quarts data could last hundreds of eons. 261 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: And so they go on to say, like many courts 262 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: based rocks from the time of Pangaea long long ago 263 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: are now sand, and I think they're implying that maybe 264 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: there's some information that's left in there. Well, this is 265 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: a scientific American and so it may be that the 266 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: human mind, um, you know, this electrical machine that's always 267 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: radiating power has some way of imprinting these courts crystals, 268 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: and you can give them some type of a command, 269 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: you can charge them with a purpose, and then you 270 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: can forget about them and they continue sitting there working 271 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: for you. And if you can get that much information 272 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: stored for so long and a little sliver of courts, 273 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: imagine a big chunk of courts, you know, like we're 274 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: talking three dimensional volume here. This is why I do 275 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: actually think there could be something to the idea of 276 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: the crystal skulls. Uh that. And I have a few 277 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: crystal skulls and weird things happen around them. Someday I'll 278 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: tell you some of those stories. I have some big 279 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: ones and some small ones, and I've got an alien 280 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: crystal skull it looks like, you know, one of those 281 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: from Indiana Jones. And there may be some type of 282 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: remnant of consciousness that's stored inside there that's able to 283 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: be accessed later. Remember in the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve, 284 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: the original one, how he tapped into the crystals at 285 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: the Fortress of Solitude and was able to resurrect some 286 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: representation of his father. Uh. Marlon Brando played that character 287 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: who starts telling him you know where he's from, and 288 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: it's like he's accessing this interactive holographic experience. Look, I'm 289 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: getting off on a tangent here, but but again I'm 290 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: just saying I think that you can combine certain types 291 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: of conscious sensitive um items or or media like these 292 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: crystals in certain arrangements and enhance this so called placebo effect. 293 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: But as I was saying, when they test drugs, these 294 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: are you know, these hardcore critical scientists, and and they 295 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: sort of brush aside this margin of error because they 296 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,239 Speaker 1: cannot explain it. Um, that is where we should be 297 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: looking most intensely what is happening in that margin of error, 298 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: because is what this shows you is that there is proof, 299 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: in certain cases, at very least, of a mental effect 300 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: on the world, especially your own body, that cannot be 301 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: explained by just chemistry and electrical impulses alone. Here's an 302 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: interesting thing to think about. Did you know that there 303 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: are atheists who pray. Now, they do not believe there 304 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: is a God, but they still pray. And they do 305 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: that because they believe it's beneficial to have the human 306 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: experience of praying. Two an imaginary entity and I And 307 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: now this to me means that we're talking about a 308 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 1: person who is doubtful enough about the reality and actually 309 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: more than a doubt. If you're an atheist, you're usually 310 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: coming right out there and you're saying, I don't believe 311 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: there is anything more than this material world that I 312 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: should be worried about. And yet you still since the 313 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: benefit and the value of going through this process of 314 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: praying because you've seen it work. And you might think 315 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: that if you're an atheist who praise and you see 316 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: it work, that you would start like reconsidering what's happening 317 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: here and maybe open your mind about that. But you see, 318 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: you have to think about using every tool at your 319 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: disposal to succeed in life. And as I told you, faith, however, 320 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: is not the most powerful thing. When I come back, 321 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what I think. The most 322 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: powerful thing is how you can trick the brain. And 323 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some experiments you can do for 324 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: yourself to try to tap into placebo power. Why not, 325 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to strange things on 326 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast, a Ambara 327 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: normal podcast network. I'll be back after these important messages 328 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio 329 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast a yea paranormal podcast network. I'm 330 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show 331 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: where the unusual becomes usual. It might surprise you to 332 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: hear me say that faith is not the most important thing. 333 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: The most important thing is perception. And here's what I mean. 334 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: Faith is something that you have control over. To have faith, 335 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: you make a choice. Perception is something that you have 336 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: very little or perhaps no control over. It's something that 337 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: just works. It's an effect. Um, it's something that even 338 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: if it's a trick, it still works and gives you 339 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: a desired result. Let me explain what I'm talking about 340 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: in my book Finding Your Magic how to Hack Reality, 341 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: which is something that you can get. You can download 342 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: it right now as a as an e book if 343 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: you go to Joshua P. Warren dot com and go 344 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: to my Curiosity Shop. It comes with all kinds of 345 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: goodies if you go there, and it's not very expensive. 346 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: Um and Finding your Magic, I use an optical illusion 347 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: as an example of this. We've all seen these optical 348 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: illusions where you're looking at a still picture, especially if 349 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: it's in a book or something, and it looks like 350 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: there are patterns on it that are that are spinning 351 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: or moving in some way, as if they are animated. 352 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: Now you know they are not moving. You absolutely know 353 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: that this is not moving. And yet when you look 354 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: at it, they're moving and everything, and and the the 355 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: authors of the artists and the scientists go, yeah, that's cool, 356 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: itn't it. It just there's nothing you can do about it. 357 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: It just that's just the way that your eyes are 358 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: gonna work. Now, look again, it's not a consistent I mean, 359 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: there are some illusions, optical illusions that work better for 360 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: some some people than others. You know, some people have 361 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: trouble seeing those kind of like magic eye three D 362 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: things that used to be popular back in the day. 363 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: I've always been really good at seeing that kind of stuff. 364 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: And but anyway, you see my point, Um, it doesn't 365 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: matter whether or not I have faith that these things 366 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: are are spinning. Uh. There are certain designs and and 367 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: certain presentations and interactions that you have with the world 368 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: in which there is simply an effect there that you 369 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: cannot control, and that is based upon the way the 370 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: human mind is currently designed to perceive things. And you 371 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: can use that to your advantage, um, to trick your 372 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: mind into doing whatever you want it to do, use 373 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: whatever mental tools that you can use to achieve a result. 374 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: And you might say, well, okay, the placebo effect is 375 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: something we hear a lot about when it comes to 376 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: taking a medicine, But actually this can be applied to 377 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: all kinds of things. Like I was saying, I did 378 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: a podcast, let's see episode fifty six of this show 379 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: called how to Create Power with self fulfilling Prophecies, and 380 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: I think you'll see that the two are related. In fact, 381 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: there is this cool article that I read um from 382 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: examples dot your dictionary dot com, and it's it's about 383 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy examples, and it says there are two 384 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: types of self fulfilling prophecies. The first one is called 385 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: other imposed and the second type is called self imposed. 386 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: And here here are the examples of that. They say, Like, 387 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: here would be an example of an other imposed they say, 388 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: Imagine a student Jamie is about to take a college 389 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: entrance exam, and she has spent lots of time preparing. 390 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: As she's walking into the building to get the test, 391 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: her her dad calls her and her dad's. Her dad 392 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: says that she's always had a hard time with anxiety, 393 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: and he that she shouldn't be surprised if she doesn't 394 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: get a good score. So he tells her that, and 395 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: then when Jamie sits down to take the test, her 396 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: heart is racing. Now, maybe he meant well by by 397 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,719 Speaker 1: saying that to her, right, but still she can't think clearly. 398 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: She knows she's gonna run out of time and anyway, 399 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: so she kind of struggles because she's panicking a little 400 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: bit more. And it says when she gets her score, 401 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: it's lower than she wanted. That is a case of 402 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: other imposed, self fulfilling prophecy. So this is almost like 403 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: a placebo. That is, that is implanted directly through the 404 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: power of suggestion with that level of simplicity, and then 405 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: there is self imposed. They say. Imagine a guy named 406 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: Ryan is getting ready to ask a woman for a date. 407 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: And Ryan has previous experience with rejection and he thinks 408 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: he sees a trend. He's sure the woman will reject 409 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: him when he asked for the date, but he decides 410 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: to do it anyway. So he walks up to her 411 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: with his hands in his pockets and his head down 412 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: and he mumbles, I know you probably don't want to 413 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: go out with me, but I'm asking anyway, And just 414 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: as he predicted, she turns him down. So that is 415 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: a classic self imposed self fulfilling prophecy. And they say 416 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: that this happens a lot in the areas of like 417 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: teacher expectations, expectations of pain, economic decision making, workplace paranoia, 418 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: employee creativity. I mean, you can look into this and 419 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: you can see what I'm what I'm talking about here, 420 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: how it all connects very much to this concept of 421 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: the placebo effect. So, knowing how this works, how do 422 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: we really take advantage of it? How do we really 423 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: tap into this? Okay, thry this out. Like I say, 424 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: all manifestation devices to some extent take advantage of this effect. 425 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: You don't have to know how it works, just know 426 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: it works. So you can do it for anything. Take 427 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: a glass of water, right, something that you want on 428 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: a piece of paper and put it on the glass, 429 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: Fill it with water and drink it and let it 430 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: sit there and percolate. It could be anything. It could 431 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: be the way that you want to feel. It could 432 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: be something that you want to happen in your life. 433 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: It could be uh, any combination of abstract concepts for 434 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: what you want to manifest. I think somebody like Dr 435 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: Moss root Emoto would appreciate this idea as well that 436 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: you are. You know, he was the guy who was 437 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: doing experiments to document how that thoughts could change the 438 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: structure of water could change what you'd be ingesting. So 439 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: right now what you want and drink it. You could 440 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: even do the alcohol experiment, you know, where you have 441 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: a non alcoholic drink and you just start drinking it 442 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: and see if you feel like you're get in the buzz. 443 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: But you can do it for anything. But here's another 444 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: variation on this. You really want to experiment, which is 445 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: pretty cool, have a friend help you. So let's say 446 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: you have some kind of a liquid medicine that you're 447 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: comfortable with, and you have a friend a partner of 448 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: some kind that decides to work with you on this experiment, 449 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: and you put the medicine in one drink and not 450 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: the other. But this needs to be a liquid medicine 451 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: that can go into a glass of something that hides 452 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: the taste, like a strong tea or a strong soda 453 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: or whatever. So so you have one glass that's got 454 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: the medicine, and then you have a second one without it, 455 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: and only your partner knows which is which. So you 456 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: try just picking one of those two up every day 457 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: for a few days, and you don't know what you're 458 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: drinking and just drink it. And then at the end 459 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: of this period of days you ask your partner. It's 460 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: like a blind taste test, what was I drinking and 461 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: see if you know you felt any If you get 462 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: to detect a difference, right, you can do it for anything. 463 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: One of the most interesting subjects to me is something 464 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't really think anything about. It's 465 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: called ontology. It's a branch of philosophy that studies concepts 466 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: such as existence, being, becoming reality, and how that these 467 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: entities are grouped into basic categories. It ties right into 468 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: metaphysics and trying to systematically sort of break all this down. 469 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: You can take things like substances, properties, relations, states of affairs, 470 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: and events and how they affect the human mind and 471 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: the ultimate physical outcome. Yeah, and this is so fascinating 472 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: to me because I think one of the reasons that 473 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: manifestation works, especially when you start getting into some of 474 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: these more elaborate sort of placebo experiments. Is that what 475 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: we're doing here is we're we're not just always restricting ourselves. 476 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: Do we have one possible outcome like a scientist who's 477 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: testing an outcome for a drug. Life is more complex 478 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: than that. Life consists of physical phenomena as well as 479 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: mental and emotional and spiritual phenomena that all go into 480 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: how we behave We're not just animals. When somebody dies, 481 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: we don't just let them lay there and the vultures 482 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: eat them. No, we have a big ceremony and we 483 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: say nice things, and we put them in the ground 484 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 1: and we put flower. Why do we do all that Well, 485 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: we do it because it means something to us on 486 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: a mental and spiritual level. You can take any combination 487 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: of concepts and onto logically represent them into the manifestation 488 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: technique using something as simple as this glass of water 489 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,399 Speaker 1: and the placebo experiment, and add it to whatever else 490 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: you're doing at whatever else your experiments are, and let 491 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: me know what happens. We have to take a break. 492 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm gonna tell you something really 493 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: cool that happened to me recently. And then I want 494 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: to read an email to you I got from a 495 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: woman who said she didn't believe in any of this stuff, 496 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: but now she does. I'm Joshua pe Warren.

And here's something just sort 503 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: of funny that happened to me not too long ago 504 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: that brought a smile to my face, the meaning to 505 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: just bring this up. Uh, not too long ago. Recently, 506 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: my my old pal Forest Connor came into town here 507 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas with his lady friend to visit me 508 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: and Lauren, and we went out and had a grand 509 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: ole evening and you know, we had a nice dinner, 510 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: et cetera. And at the end of the night, when 511 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: we were at this big busy casino about two part ways, 512 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: of course, we realize, hey, we we need to get 513 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: some pictures before the night's over. And so the four 514 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: of us we gathered around and I can't remember if 515 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: this was a selfie because you know, somebody had a 516 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: good angle, you know that is, or if we asked 517 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: a server to take the picture. I can't really tell. 518 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: But it's this great picture of the four of us 519 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: all huddled around and this is probably like two o'clock 520 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: in the morning or something. And uh so the next day, 521 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: of course, whoever had the picture sends it out and 522 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: I realized as soon as I see it that in 523 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: the background in this busy casino, there is this random 524 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: man who is kind of walking through the scene, but 525 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: he you could tell he pauses for just a moment. 526 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: And the guy he he has a big, long, dark beard, 527 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: and he's wearing one of these kind of flat caps 528 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: like they I think they call him, like a newsboy cap, 529 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: like they'd wear in the twenties, like the Wright Brothers 530 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: would wear. So this random, strange man in the background, 531 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: he is looking directly into the camera. He is grinning 532 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: ear to ear, just beaming with joy and giving a 533 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: big old thumbs up. And I was like, what this is? 534 00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: This is my favorite part of this picture because I 535 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: started thinking about how that guy, who I presume I 536 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: will never I'll never know, I'll never see him again. 537 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: This is a last somehow or other than you know 538 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: that I am now connected to this moment with this guy, 539 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: because he could have turned and he could have been 540 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: delaying anything back there and in this town call Sends City, 541 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: I think you know what I mean, he could have 542 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: been doing some pretty nasty, freaky or negative things to 543 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: ruin our picture. Instead, he took a moment and he 544 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: could have just ignored it, but he said, hey, you 545 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna be in the background of this thing, 546 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: and he made it positive and he made it great 547 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: and I smiled and laughed and he made me feel good. 548 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: And something as simple as that should be an example 549 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: for you as how that when you're living your life 550 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: every day, you never know who's gonna be seeing you, 551 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: what situation you're gonna end up in. And I guarantee 552 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: you that that guy, he had no idea who we were, 553 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: and that that experience would ever be talked about on 554 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: a coast to coast AM podcast that goes out to 555 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: millions of people all all over the world. I mean, 556 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: like so um when it comes to bearing in mind, 557 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: like the power of how you think and the positivity 558 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: that you live your life with and how that exudes 559 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 1: throughout the world and helps other people feel better. I mean, 560 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: like simple stuff like that shows you the power of 561 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: these these concepts and thoughts that you can start managing 562 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: in order to improve not only your life, but the 563 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: lives of those around you. Here is an email I 564 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: got from a lady in South Carolina, and you know 565 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: I am from North Carolina, and I won't tell you 566 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: exactly where she lives, but she lives at one of 567 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: my favorite places. Her name is Barbara, and she said, 568 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: I had some serious reservations buying the wishing machine, but 569 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: now it dawns on me that I wish for a 570 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: new car, and I got one. My husband took his 571 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: electric car into the dealership to get some repairs done, 572 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: and I had taken him in my car. As we 573 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: were leaving, he said that the Toyota place was just 574 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: down the road and that he knew I liked priusists, 575 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: so he says, why don't you see if they have 576 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: one you like? Well, they did, so he said, all right, 577 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get it. She said. That was 578 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 1: about a year after I had put the picture and 579 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: the message on the wishing box, and it took me 580 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: a while to realize that the wishing machine had worked, 581 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: and then last week I was very concerned that my 582 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: garden might be compromised by some very cold weather. Everything 583 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: was coming out with new leaves and new growth, and 584 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: so I put a protective clock over my garden, and 585 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be all right, and 586 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 1: it was all right the next day. I am a 587 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: very positive person, but I have a problem that I 588 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: need help with. So I have decided to order one 589 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: of your bad busters, your psionic de materializers, and I'm 590 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: looking forward to receiving it. Thank you for being you, Barbara. Well, 591 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: you know what, Barbara, I'm so glad that you sent 592 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,280 Speaker 1: me that thank you, because this is a great example 593 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: of what whatso often happens um someone gets a wishing 594 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: machine because they say, you know what, I'm in a 595 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: position where I can I can experiment with this, and 596 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: they do it. But there's that little voice saying, come on, 597 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: this ain't gonna work. It's ain't gonna work. And so 598 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: when it does work, sometimes you don't realize it's worked 599 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: until you look back in retrospect. And even though it 600 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: took a year, Well you're talking about this working for 601 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: a person who didn't even think it was gonna work 602 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: at all. And once she said, WHOA, Okay, that work 603 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: will us. What Now she's manifested the next thing much 604 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 1: more quickly, because once you manifest your first big thing, 605 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: you have worked that muscle out and then you can 606 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: start manifesting things much more quickly. The just like anything else, 607 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: the more you practice, the better you get at it 608 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: and the faster it comes to you. But I tell 609 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: you what, once you get that flow, you gotta keep 610 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: it going. You better not stop because if you do 611 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: stop and you get down with the dumps, it'll all 612 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: come crashing down on you again. So you know, keep 613 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: it going, keep it going, and you can be a 614 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: magical person every single day. And you know, the more 615 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: complex the wish, the more difficult to attain, the more 616 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 1: pieces that have to come together, the longer it may take. 617 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: But that does not mean that it will not happen. 618 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: And then, uh, like I said, once you get in 619 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: the swing of things, you're good. Uh. Let's see, I 620 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: think I can squeeze in one more email. It's pretty cool. 621 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: This is from MHM Max, who is an information and 622 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: technology systems specialist. He said, I was about five or 623 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: six years old when I tried to run across an expressway, 624 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 1: and I guess I was not running fast enough. I 625 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: got run over by a truck. But some beings saved me. 626 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 1: I heard them contemplating whether or not I was worth saving, 627 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: and finally one of them said to the others that yes, 628 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: I should be saved. And I then became fully conscious 629 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: and found my body perfectly aligned under the truck so 630 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 1: that nothing had actually happened to me. I was completely uninjured. 631 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: Both my brother and I used to hear and see 632 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 1: these beings, thank you, Max, you know what, stuff like that, 633 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 1: and I get a lot of it. It makes me 634 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: think that they're really maybe um a classroom here that 635 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: we're in. We're we're we're we're being taught to open 636 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: our minds to be more spiritual, enlightened beings. We're being 637 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: taught that we can manifest things, and that if you 638 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: have the right mindset there you you you have help 639 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: waiting there for you. You have people who can actually 640 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: assist you. Angels, yes, demons. Maybe I don't know, but 641 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: I love hearing positive stories and that's why I'm still 642 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 1: collecting stories right now for this new anthology I'm putting together. 643 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: I want your story if you.
