Speaker 1: and weird experiments you can do at home, and a

12
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: lot more. And on this particular edition of the show,

13
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: guess what. I have a document here from the c

14
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I A c I A dot Gov. I'm gonna tell

15
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: you how you can find this document for yourself. It

16
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: is a document that appears to reinforce everything that you

17
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: have heard about the reality of manifestation, of magic, of

18
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: the law of attraction, the mind body environment relationship. It

19
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: is absolutely fascinating. This is a d classified c I

20
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: A document and we're gonna dig into it. Plus, you

21
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: know This is a podcast, so you could be listening

22
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: any time of the year. But I want to tell

23
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: you the real story that inspired the real Ebenezer Scrooge,

24
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: because you know, we have holidays for a reason. Holidays

25
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: become holidays because they're supposed to remind us of something

26
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: that we should be thinking about. And uh, the the

27
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: story of the real Scrooge is such a fascinating tale

28
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: because it it really illustrates the difference between having material

29
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: wealth and feeling happy and what that relationship is. It

30
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: all ties right back in to manifestation and the things

31
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: that we need to remember about how reality is constructed. Furthermore,

32
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I have a tone I'm going to play for you

33
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, which is the good Fortune tone.

34
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: So when you hear this, the idea is that for

35
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: the next seven days, good fortunate things will happen for you.

36
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: So it's one of those editions of the show. You

37
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: need to contact your friends and family, Email everybody you

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: of and care about, send them a link to this show.

39
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: It's a free show, and say you've got to listen

40
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: to this. All right, let's dig into the c I

41
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: a material shall we. Well, first off, I mean this

42
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: is complex stuff. And if you've ever tried to read

43
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: a government document, you'll know that sometimes they're worded and

44
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: and um, well they're not always worded in the most

45
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: user friendly way. So let me start by giving you

46
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of an overview from an article that was written

47
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: about the report that I'm going to read from for you. Uh.

48
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: This is an article located at h I t C

49
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: dot com written by Philie Mustafa, and it says, c

50
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: i A Energy Hologram explained Twitter users claim law of

51
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: attraction is real. And I'll just read some of this article.

52
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Following a resurfaced document from the c i A, people

53
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: on social media claimed the law of attraction is real.

54
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: So here's the energy hologram study explained. Theories are only

55
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: concepts when there is not a scientific explanation to prove

56
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: their credibility. However, a c i A study suggests the

57
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: law of attraction is real. After all. Here's what the

58
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: recent social media hype is all about. According to the CIA,

59
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: the world that people live in is an energy hologram

60
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: simulation and astral projection is real. In a document called

61
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process under the section Holograms,

62
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the study says, quote energy, creates stores and retrieves meaning

63
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: in the universe by projecting or expanding at certain frequencies

64
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: in a three dimensional mode that creates a living pattern

65
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: called hologram. End quote article says this study is not

66
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: something new. In fact, it's a document that dates back

67
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: to June nine of nineteen eighty three. That's thirty seven

68
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: years ago, folks. Uh. They have a link here to

69
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: the actual report on the c i A website. I'll

70
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: get to that in a minute. There's more stuff here,

71
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: uh see. Following this study, a number of people have

72
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: claimed that this study has proved that the law of

73
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: attraction is real. The law of attraction is belief, which

74
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: states that people are able to attract abundance and success

75
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: by thinking positive thoughts. Uh. And then they talk about

76
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: some of the books along these lines. So anyway, let's

77
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: jump into the actual document, shall we. And and if

78
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: you if you don't believe this is real, all you

79
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: have to do is go to whatever search engine I'm

80
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: using Google and just do a search for c i

81
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: A Gateway process that's one term g e way and boom,

82
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: it pops up. First thing right now at c i

83
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: A dot gov. And it is a declassified document titled

84
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process. So I have this.

85
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: It's a PDF. Uh. It was written on the dated

86
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the ninth of June nine. This took place within the Army.

87
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: It was addressed to the commander of the U. S.

88
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Army Operational Group at Fort Meade. And this was apparently

89
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: written by Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M McDonnell. No small rank there,

90
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: lieutenant colonel. And he starts off with the cover letter

91
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: and he says, you task me to provide an assessment

92
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: of the Gateway experience in terms of its mechanics and

93
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: ultimate practicality. As I set out to fulfill that tasking,

94
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: it soon became clear that in order to assess the

95
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: validity and practicality of the process, I needed to do

96
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: enough supporting research and analysis to fully understand how and

97
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: why the process works. So this is what some people

98
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: might think of as as a metaphysical situation here where

99
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the Army is trying to get to the bottom of

100
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: how reality works and what relationship there is between the mind, body,

101
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: and environment. Now, this is a twenty nine page report

102
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: and it is packed with information. So I'm not going

103
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to even try to read all this to you. But

104
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I will go over some of the highlights. Uh. They

105
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: talk about hypnosis. That's a section here. Uh, they talk

106
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: about transcendental meditation. They talk they have illustrations here showing

107
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: how different parts of the brain react to uh like

108
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: him a sync and different types of a stimulus bio

109
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: feedback as a section. Uh, let's see they have they

110
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: talk talk about lasers. There's actually quite a bit of well.

111
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: I noticed on a number of occasions the name of

112
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: a deceased scientist, eatsak Bentoff, comes up quite a bit.

113
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: He was a checkborn Israeli American scientist and inventor. Interesting

114
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: when you think about that, because you know, I've talked

115
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: about a lot Robert Pavlita who created the psychotronic generators.

116
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: He was also checked. Uh So anyway, as we as

117
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: we scroll down here, they talked about brain stimulation, energy

118
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and trainment. It says as the body is turned into

119
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: a coherent oscillator vibrating in harmony with the surrounding electro

120
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: static medium. The specific exercises included in the Gateway tapes

121
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: enjoying the participant to build up the energy field surrounding

122
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: his body, presumably by using energy from the Earth's field,

123
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: which the body is now in training because of its

124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: ability to resonate with it. You know how you hear

125
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: me talking about sympathetic resonance a lot. Listen to this

126
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: section called consciousness and energy before our explanation can provide

127
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: excuse me can proceed any further. It is essential to

128
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: define the mechanism by which the human mind exercises the

129
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: function known as consciousness, and to describe the way in

130
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: which that consciousness operates to deduce meaning from the stimuli

131
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: which it receives. To do this, we will first consider

132
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: the fundamental character of the material world in which we

133
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: have our physical existence in order to accurately perceive the

134
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: raw stuff with which our consciousness must work. And okay,

135
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: so they're talking about your brain, your consciousness functioning within

136
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: this certain medium, it says, you know, the part encodes

137
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: the whole um. Now listen to this holograms. Are you ready?

138
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Pay pay close attention to this. Energy creates, stores and

139
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: retrieves meaning in the universe by projecting or expanding at

140
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: certain frequencies in a three dimensional mode that creates a

141
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: living pattern called a hologram. The concept of the hologram

142
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: can be most easily understood by using an example cited

143
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: by bent Off, in which he asks the reader to

144
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: visualize a bowl full of water into which three pebbles

145
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: are dropped, as the ripples created by the simultaneous energy

146
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: of the three pebbles radiate outward towards the rim of

147
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: the bowl. Bent Of further asked the reader to vision

148
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: allies that the surface of the water is suddenly flash frozen,

149
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: so that the ripple pattern is preserved. Instantly, the ice

150
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: is removed, leaving the three pebbles still laying at the

151
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: bottom of the bowl. Okay, so they're talking about suspending

152
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: something in sort of the medium, and here's how it

153
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: relates to consciousness. It says in a in a section

154
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: called the consciousness matrix, the universe is composed of interacting

155
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: energy fields, some at rest and some in motion. It is,

156
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: in and of itself, one gigantic hologram of unbelievable complexity.

157
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: According to the theories of Carl Prebum, a neuroscientist at

158
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: Stanford University, and David Boham, a physicist at the University

159
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: of Love, and the human mind is also a hologram

160
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: which it tunes itself to the universal hologram by the

161
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: medium of energy exchange, thereby deducing meaning and achieving the

162
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: state which we call consciousness. WHOA did you get that?

163
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: In a CIA document, the universe is composed of interacting

164
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: energy fields, some at rest and some in motion. It is,

165
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: in and of itself, one gigantic hologram of unbelievable complexity.

166
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: The human mind is a hologram which attunes itself to

167
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: the universal hologram by the medium of energy exchange, thereby

168
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: deducing meaning and achieving the state which we call consciousness.

169
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: As the energy passes through various aspects of the universal

170
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: hologram and is perceived by the electro static fields which

171
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: comprise the human mind, the holographic images being conveyed are

172
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: projected up on those electro static fields of the mind

173
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: and are perceived or understood to the extent that the

174
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: electro static field is operating at a frequency. Okay, this

175
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: is getting a little bit. I'm not gonna continue this.

176
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: You could if you can read this for yourself, you

177
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: can see the illustrations official CIA document. Go to Google

178
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: or wherever and just type in c I a gateway process.

179
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: You will find this document at c I A dot gov.

180
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: It is called analysis and assessment of the gateway process.

181
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: There you go. You know, one of the interesting things

182
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: about the c i A, and you know people who

183
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: work within government is they are not like scientists who

184
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: have to try to understand why everything works. They're only

185
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: interested in what works, their result oriented. And so this

186
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: is another way of saying, look, folks, everything about this

187
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: relationship the mind body environment relationship and manifestation that you've

188
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: been hearing for people like me as again being reinforced

189
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: by people who were out there who were no nonsense

190
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: military people were coming up on our first break. When

191
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: we come back, I want to tell you more about

192
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,320

Speaker 1: the universe to create a conscious field of abundance and prosperity,

194
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: even well, even if it comes from a spooky example,

195
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, like ghosts. You'll see what I mean when

00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: on the I Heart Media and Coast to Coast i

218
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren,

219
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Weird, beaming into your wormhole brain from

220
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: my studio here in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where

221
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: every day is golden and every night is silver. And

222
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: when you think about that, c I a document that

223
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I was reading in the last segment, and you start

224
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: to consider what it takes for your brain, your mind

225
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: to actually start interacting with the environment to create the

226
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: life that you want or to create the phenomena that

227
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: you want to experience. And that's different for everyone. UM.

228
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: We always talked about the importance of reminders of affirmations,

229
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I always tell people, if you're working

230
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: on a project and you want to make sure that

231
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: your affirmation works, take whatever calendar that you use, and

232
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: at least once every week or two, make a note

233
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: to take your affirmation and move it, put it somewhere else.

234
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: It's like hitting the reset button because it brings it

235
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: back into your mind once again fresh. And UH. That's

236
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: important because if you just keep an affirmation somewhere after

237
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: a week or so, you're just not even gonna notice

238
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: it anymore. It's you'll just sort of zone out and

239
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: it becomes part of the background. And that is why

240
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: I think the holidays are so important. Holidays are supposed

241
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: to be like reminders for you once a year, uh,

242
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: to confirm or reaffirm something of important, something you're supposed

243
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. And it amazes me how that

244
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: every year, uh, most of our holidays are are there

245
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: to you know, remind us of something good and positive

246
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: and to help us be better people. And it seems

247
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: like we as a society, we we participate for you know,

248
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: a little while, and then you go right back to

249
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: our chaotic ways. Well, people ask me, because of the

250
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: work I've done all these decades, Josh, what's your your

251
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: favorite creepy movie? And my go to answer on that is, well,

252
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: The Shining. But when people ask me what's your favorite

253
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: spooky book, you know, like about ghosts, they're surprised when

254
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: I say, oh, well, that would be a Christmas Carol

255
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: by Charles Dickens. You could read and think about that

256
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: book any time of the year. And I want to

257
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: share some information with you about that book and why

258
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: I find it so intriguing. You know, there's a great

259
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: movie about how Dickens struggled to crank out that one

260
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ten page book and about six weeks snatching

261
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: inspiration where every he could. The movie is called The

262
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: Man Who Invented Christmas, and I suggest you watch it

263
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: if you love that story as much as I do.

264
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: A Dickens biographer describes the book A Christmas Carol as

265
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: being quote at white heat quote, the final pages being

266
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: completed in early December of eighteen forty three, and that

267
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: same month it hit the shelves on December nineteenth and

268
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: was sold out by Christmas Eve, and by the end

269
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: of eighteen forty four three excuse me, thirteen thirteen editions

270
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: had been released. Amazing, So, of course, the main character

271
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: of A Christmas Carol is the infamous miser, Ebenezer Scrooge.

272
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: He has a cold, greedy heart, but in one night

273
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: of visits on Christmas Eve by three different strange spirits

274
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: who show him things about the world he's tried to ignore,

275
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: he sees the air of his ways and transforms into

276
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: a warm and grateful person. Now everyone needs to see

277
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: this story every year, and some people again, they still

278
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: won't get it. Still not, they still will not take

279
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: the message to heart. But anyway, did you know that

280
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: the character of Scrooge was based on a real man?

281
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: Now there were a number of well known old misers

282
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: in London back in Dickens day, but the one most

283
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: scholars think Dickens based Scrooge on was a man named

284
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: John Elwis. In fact, Dickens even mentioned John Ellis specifically

285
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: um on other occasions in in other work. So here's

286
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: the story of this man, what we might think of

287
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: as the real Scrooge. John Ellis was born in Southwark, England,

288
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: on April seventh of seventeen fourteen, and died November twenty

289
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: six of seventeen eighty nine, at the age of seventy five.

290
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: He was His father, i should say, was a successful brewer.

291
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: His father's father was a member of Parliament. His mother

292
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: was the daughter of a wealthy English baronet, uh and

293
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: his mother's mother, laid Isabella, happened to be a famous

294
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: miser herself. So as a young man he received a

295
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: good education in the classics at the Westminster School, and

296
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: then traveled some in Europe to study horsemanship. In Geneva, Switzerland.

297
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: He was even introduced to Voltaire, the famous French writer.

298
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: John Elwis had already inherited his first fortune at the

299
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: age of four when his father died, and his mother

300
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: was left the equivalent of nearly ten million dollars in

301
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: today's money. But they say she starved herself to death

302
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: because she was too cheap to spend it, and when

303
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: she died, he inherited the vast family estate, spanning numerous properties.

304
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: But an even bigger inheritance came when his uncle died,

305
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: Sir Hervey. Sir Hervey prided himself on only spending a

306
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: little more than a hundred and ten pounds on himself

307
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: per year, so John and his uncle would in the

308
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: evening by a cheap candle, railing against other people's extravagances

309
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: while they shared shared, mind you, a single glass of wine.

310
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: When his uncle died in seventeen sixty three, the forty

311
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: nine year old John l was inherited about twenty million

312
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: dollars in today's money, but that fortune would continue to

313
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: grow over the years due to his various businesses. In fact,

314
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: in seventeen seventy two, when he was fifty eight, with

315
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: the help of a friend named Lord Craven, John Ellis

316
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: became a member of Parliament himself for practically no election expenditure.

317
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: He sat with either party according to his limb, and

318
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: he never once rose to address the House of Commons.

319
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Fellow members mockingly observed that since he possessed only one suit,

320
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: they would never accuse him of being a turn coat,

321
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: and being a member of Parliament did, however, call elbus

322
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: to frequently travel to Westminster. He made the journey on

323
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: a poor, lean horse, the route chosen being always the

324
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: one whereby he could avoid turnpike tolls. He was known

325
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: to put a hard boiled egg in his pocket, and

326
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: midway on his journey he would set under some hedge

327
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: and eat his egg or sleep. After twelve years he

328
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: retired rather than face the prospect of laying out any

329
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: money to retain his seat, and throughout his adulthood he

330
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: was one of England's most famous miser's. He went to

331
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: bed when darkness fell to save on candles. He began

332
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: wearing only ragged clothes, including a beggar's cast off wig

333
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: that he found in a hedge, and he wore that

334
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: for at least two weeks. His clothes were so dilapidated

335
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: that many must took him for a common beggar and

336
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: would put a penny into his hand as they passed.

337
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: To avoid paying for a coach, he would walk in

338
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: the rain and then sitting at clothes to save the

339
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: cost of a fire to drive him. His house was

340
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: full of expensive furniture, but also molding food. He would

341
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: eat putrified game before allowing new food to be bought.

342
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: On one occasion, it was said that he ate a

343
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: more him that's a bird that floats on the water

344
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: like a duck. Eight a more him that a rat

345
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: had pulled from a river, And rather than spend money

346
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: for repairs, he allowed his spacious country mansion to become uninhabitable.

347
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: A near relative one stayed at his home in the country,

348
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: but the bedroom was in such a poor state the

349
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: relative was awakened in the night by rain pouring on

350
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: him from the roof. The relative was forced to move

351
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: his bed several times until he found a place where

352
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: he could be dry, and on remarking the circumstances to

353
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: l was in the morning, la said, I I don't

354
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: mind it myself. That's a nice corner in the rain.

355
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: His biographer, a man named Edward Trupham or Topham, who

356
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: knew him well, said quote. According to one historian, he

357
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: even complained bitterly of the birds robbing him of so

358
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: much hay with which to build their nests. Even el

359
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: was his health was limited by expense. In common with

360
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: many misers, he distrusted physicians, preferring to treat himself in

361
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: order to save paying for one. He once badly cut

362
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: both legs while walking home in the dark, but would

363
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: only allow the apothecary to treat one, placing a bet

364
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: with a doctor wagering the doctor's fee that the untreated

365
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: limb would heal first elvis one, and the doctor had

366
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: to forfeit his fee. L was also wore uh see

367
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: he bore a wound from a hunting accident. Legend has

368
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: it one day he was out shooting with a gentleman

369
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: who was a particularly bad shot, and this same man

370
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: and accidentally fired through a hedge, lodging several shots in

371
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: the miser's cheek, and with great embarrassment and concerned, the

372
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: gentleman approached Ellis to apologize, but Elis, and anticipating the apology,

373
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: held out his hand and said, my dear sir, I

374
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: congratulate you on improving. I thought you would hit something

375
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: in time. When his parliamentary career was over, el was

376
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: devoted his full energies to being a miser. As he

377
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: moved about among his many properties. At his neglected estates,

378
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: he continued to forbid repairs joined his tenants and post

379
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: harvest gleaning, and sat with his servants in the kitchen

380
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: to save the cost of a fire elsewhere, even on

381
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: the post excuse me, even in the on the coldest

382
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: day of winter, he was known to sit fireless at

383
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: his meals, saying that eating was exercise enough to keep

384
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: him warm. If a stable boy put out hey for

385
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: a visitor's horse, Elvis would sneak out and remove it.

386
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: In his last years, he had no fixed abode and

387
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: frequently shifted his residence between his unrented London properties in

388
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: the neighborhood of Marlebone, seeking out the ones which were

389
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: temporarily unoccupied. A couple of beds, a couple of chairs,

390
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: a table, and an old woman, as he called her,

391
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: that's his housekeeper were said to be all his furnishings,

392
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: and this same housekeeper was known to frequently catch colds

393
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: because there were never any fires and often no glass

394
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: in the windows. This practice nearly cost Els his life

395
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: when he fell desperately ill in one of those houses

396
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: and no one could find him. Only by chance was

397
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: he rescued. His nephew, Colonel Tims, wanted to see him.

398
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: He was asking around and inquired in vain, at ELS's

399
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Bankers and other places. A boy selling on the streets

400
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: said he'd seen an old beggar go into his stable

401
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: at one of l was his uninhabited houses. Tim's knocked

402
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: on the door, but when no one answered, he sent

403
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: for a blacksmith and had the lock forced. According to

404
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: the author Edward Walford, in volume four of his Old

405
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: and New London, he said, in the lower part of

406
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: the house was it was all shut in silent, but

407
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: on ascending the stairs they heard the moans of a

408
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: person seemingly in distress. They went to the chamber and

409
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: they're on an old palette bed. They found Mr l

410
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: was apparently in the agonies of death for some time.

411
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: He seemed quite insensible. We're gonna take a break. When

412
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: we come back, I will tell you more about how

413
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: this man ended up and the lesson that we are

414
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: supposed to learn from this. And again, I don't care

415
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: if what time of year you're listening to this podcast.

416
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: We have these types of stories to help us keep

417
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: our minds in the right place and to think about

418
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: what it is to be happy and to be generous,

419
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: and how wrong we can be when we obsess over

420
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: the superficial and material world and do a disservice to

421
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: ourselves and everyone around us. I might even touch on

422
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: how this relates to what is called a liminal experience?

423
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: Do you know what that is? Once again, please go

457
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: Before the break, I was telling you about this well

458
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: unpleasant state that John Ellis, the real Scrooge, was found in.

459
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: Goes on to say that after they discovered him quite insensible,

460
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: he remained in this condition until some cordials could be

461
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: administered by a neighboring apothecary, and after he had sufficiently recovered.

462
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: Elwis stated that he believed he had been ill for

463
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: two or three days, and that there was an old

464
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 1: woman in the house, a maid, but for some reason

465
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: or other, she had not been near him. That she

466
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: had been ill herself, but he supposed she must have

467
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: recovered and gone away. Upon searching the premises, however, Tim's

468
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: and the apothecary found that the woman was stretched lifeless

469
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: on the floor. She had apparently been dead in there

470
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: for two days. Towards the end of his life, Elwis

471
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: grew feverish and restless, hoarding small quantities of money in

472
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: different places, continually visiting all the places of deposit to

473
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: see that they were safe. He began suffering from delusion,

474
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: fearing he would die in poverty. In the night, he

475
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: was heard struggling with imaginary robbers, crying, no, I'll keep

476
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: my money, don't rob me. When he was asked who

477
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: is there, he would say, I beg your pardon. I

478
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: have been unfortunate and I have been robbed in this house.

479
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: The family doctor was eventually sent there to look for

480
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: the dying miser, and the doctor remarked afterward that man

481
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: with his original strength of constitution and lifelong habits of

482
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: temperance might have lived twenty years longer, but for his

483
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: continual anxiety about money. Even his barrister, that's his lawyer

484
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: who drew up his will, was forced to undertake his

485
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: writings in the firelight by the dying man's bedside in

486
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: order to save the cost of a candle. The famed

487
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Miser was also known to sleep in the same worn

488
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: garments that he war during the day, and he was

489
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: discovered one morning between the sheets with his tattered shoes

490
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: on his feet, an old torn hat on his head,

491
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: and a stick in his hand. And it was in

492
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: this condition that he died on the twenty six November

493
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: of seventeen eighty nine. His burial took place in Stoke

494
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: by Claire, that's a location there in English in England.

495
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: UH says that he had approximately one hundred million dollars

496
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: in today's money, and uh it says that you know,

497
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: some of that went to his two sons who were

498
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: born out of wedlock, George and John, whom he loved

499
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: but would not educate, believing that quote, putting things into

500
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: people's heads is the sure way to take money out

501
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: of their pockets in quote. And he left the rest

502
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: of his money, however much that was to a nephew,

503
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: one of his friends. There his biography, Mr. His biographer Mr.

504
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: Toppham said, quote, his public character lives after him, pure

505
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: and without staying and private life he was chiefly an

506
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: enemy to himself, to others. He lent much to himself.

507
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: He denied everything. But in the pursuit of his property

508
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: or in the recovery of it, I have I have

509
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: not one remembrance of one unkind thing that was ever

510
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: done by him. By the way, on a side note,

511
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: just in case you've been wondering, the famous actor Carrie Ellis,

512
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: who played the lead in the movie The Princess Bride,

513
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: is indeed a descendant of John Ellwis. So even though

514
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: John Elwis was apparently not as mean as Scrooge, he

515
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: obviously was a great framework for a character who is

516
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: obsessed with the superficial material world, and in one way

517
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: or another he suffered in the end just as Scrooge

518
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: would have if not for the intervention of three spirits

519
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve. And you know, It's easy for us

520
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: to look at people like John Ellis and roll our

521
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: eyes and look down on him. But just remember what

522
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: Jacob Marley said. Okay, he was the tortured ghost of

523
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: Scrooge's greedy old business partner, dragging the heavy chains and

524
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: the money boxes, and he said, quote, I wear the

525
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: chain I forged in life. I made it link by

526
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: link and yard by yard of my own free will,

527
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: and of my own free will, I wore it. End quote.

528
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Would you know, the ghost, asked Grooge. Quote the weight

529
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It

530
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: was as full and heavy and long as this seven

531
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: Christmas eves ago. You have labored on it, since it

532
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: is a ponderous chain. End quote. So now I must

533
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: ask each of you, my dear listeners, to pause for

534
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: a moment and imagine your own invisible chain that you

535
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: have fashioned link by link throughout your life. We all

536
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: have one, but it may never be too late to

537
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: cut that chain down a lot. To be a better, kinder,

538
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: more understanding, and humble person. To be grateful for the

539
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: good things in your life, to never take them for granted,

540
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: because if you're not careful and you give into the

541
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: negative judgmental forces and opinions all around you. That chain

542
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: may drag you further and further down, all the way

543
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: to hades. So my advice is, think about what we

544
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: know regarding that mind body environment connection, that holographic universe.

545
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Cut that chain, raise your vibration, Smile, tell everyone you

546
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: love them, mean it, Do something good for someone, and

547
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: the spirits of Christmas will only bring you wonderful rewards

548
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: year round. Okay, that's why, like I say, this is

549
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: not just a Christmas podcast, it's a It's a podcast

550
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: about the relationship between ourselves and the spirit world and

551
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: what the meaning of life is really all about. And

552
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: I promise you I'm going to tell you a creepy

553
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: story or two here shortly, because I know this is

554
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: the podcast, this is the Paranormal Podcast Network, and people

555
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: want to hear some creepy stories. So I'm gonna give

556
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: you a creepy story. But I think all of this

557
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: is creepy if you think about what could happen to

558
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: you and where you can go if you don't have

559
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: the right kind of attitude. In my book Use the Force,

560
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: a Jedi's Guide the Law of Attraction, I write about

561
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: uh well, a lot of things that you know come up.

562
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: In fact, if you go to Joshua P. Warren dot

563
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: com and you'll see a picture of this book there

564
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: on the homepage, you can click that picture and you

565
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: can instantly buy this thing as a download. Okay boom,

566
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: you'll be able to read it right away. A Jedi's

567
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: Guide to the Law of Attraction. I talk in it

568
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: about um, something that I say every day when I

569
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: wake up, and uh, I think it helps me, and

570
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: I advise other people to do the same. People email

571
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: me and they say, what's that again, Well, every day

572
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: when I wake up, I say, I live in a friendly, loving,

573
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: supportive universe that wants me to be happy and succeed.

574
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: I live in a friendly, loving, supportive universe that wants

575
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: me to be happy and succeed. And it doesn't have

576
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: to be that exact wording, but that's the gist of

577
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: what you need to say to yourself every day, even

578
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: if you don't believe it. Get started that way. And

579
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: in this book I talk about what's called a liminal life,

580
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: and here's how I presented it. So think about this

581
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: in relationship to your interaction with other realms, the spirit realm,

582
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: for example, and studying the mysteries of the universe, I

583
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: have inevitably come across the conundrums of time travel. Here

584
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: is the basic enigma. The past can only be divided

585
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: from the future by this thing called the present. But

586
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: what is the present? How long does it last? One second? Well,

587
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: it can't be one second, because even a second has

588
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: a beginning and an end, meaning there would be a

589
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: past and future within our past and future. And that

590
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. A half second then, well, the fact

591
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: is there is no span of time we can define

592
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: that doesn't include a beginning and an end. Therefore, the

593
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: present is an illusion. It is a statement of where

594
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: your mind is at any particular stage as it flows

595
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: along your universal timeline. Your mind is constantly forming the

596
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: very next instant, which compels the very next instant, and

597
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: so on. The exact moment of here and now is

598
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: what anthropologists sometimes call a liminal moment. All right, now,

599
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: think about that? What do you want your your spirit

600
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: to experience? Do you want to be bogged down with

601
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: a superficial in the material like the real Ebenezer Scrooge.

602
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: Liminal comes from the Latin word limon l I m

603
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: e n, meaning threshold. This word is sometimes used by

604
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: scholars when describing times around Halloween, for example, when a

605
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: grand transition is taking place from one world to another,

606
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: and the two rounds sort of overlap a gray period

607
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: where they can temporarily interact with each other. When you

608
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: enter a ritual, you move from an old mindset and

609
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: then are initiated into a new mindset. So this is

610
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: all about the process of change that's occurring and improvement.

611
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: So I tell people in this book, if you are

612
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: training to be a real Jedi, it's crucial that you

613
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: don't forget the power of your liminal life. That you

614
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: must remain in control at all times. So it doesn't

615
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: matter what you want to manifest, a winning jack pot

616
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: or the attention of a person across the room, or

617
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: an entirely new life for yourself, you can only do

618
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: it by taking hold of the one particular moment before

619
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: you always, always is, always focusing on that and gratitude

620
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: for what you have. And this is why it's important

621
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: for us to realize, Hey, your reality can be whatever

622
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: you want it to be. It can be creepy and spooky.

623
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: You can interact with beings from the realms, or you

624
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: can just make yourself happy. But instead of focusing on

625
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: money and possessions, focus on the things that make you happy. Right.

626
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: We deal with us a lot when it comes to

627
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: wishing machines. People wish for money, and I say, skip

628
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: the money, wish for the thing that you want. You know,

629
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: there are many different ways and avenues of getting what

630
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: you want. Rather than just focusing on that one thing,

631
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: you might be actually cutting off some options. Because the

632
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: universe is a very big, complex thing, just like the

633
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: c I a document said, I live in a friendly, loving,

634
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: supportive universe that wants me to be happy and succeed.

635
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: You know what's eerie. Sometimes things happen to you that

636
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: are little signs and symbols from the universe that proved

637
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: to you that you're on the right track. When we

638
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: come back from this break, I want to tell you

639
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to read some of an email to you

640
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: I got from a listener named Crystal in California who

641
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: had something very strange happened to her. And she wrote

642
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: me and said what does this mean? And I said,

643
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: ah ha, I think I know what this means, and

644
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it. I'm also gonna read to

645
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: you we're talking about ghosts and spooky things. Right, I'm

646
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna read a creepy story to you because well, uh,

647
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: creepy stories remind us that the world is a much

648
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: more complex place and uh, even if sometimes you have

649
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: to scare yourself a little bit to realize. And then

650
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you the good Fortune tone. Yeah,

651
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: the good fortune tone for the next seven days is

652
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: if you listen to this, you will have good fortune.

653
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: That's the idea. You might be amazed what you can

654
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: do that you don't even realize you can accomplish. I

680
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: the final segment of this edition of Strange Things on

681
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: the I Heart Media and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal

682
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: podcast Network, the show where the unusual becomes usual. I'm

683
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and you know I once

684
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: asked one of my mentors, Charles A. Jost, a NASA

685
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame scientist, what is the meaning of life?

686
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: And he paused for a good thirty seconds or more.

687
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 1: And then he said to learn to learn. So whatever

688
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: you talk about and however you talk about it, I

689
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: think he was right. This is a classroom and we

690
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: are here to learn something. And for some reason, that

691
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: reminds me of that line, that memorable line from the

692
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: song by Oogie Boogie the Boogeyman and the Nightmare before Christmas,

693
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: where he sings, you aren't comprehending the position, all right,

694
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: that's the problem. A lot of us are not able

695
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: to see the big picture. And that's what you're here for.

696
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: You're here to learn about how to see the big picture.

697
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: There are different ways of helping you see that. Sometimes

698
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: it's by telling is something nice and warm and fuzzy

699
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: and inspirational. Sometimes it's by telling you something creepy, and

700
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: you know, there's no doubt about it. Creepy tails are

701
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: popular because that they they reveal something fundamental I guess

702
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: about who we are as creatures that fight or flight instinct.

703
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, how how do you figure out what it

704
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: is that gives somebody the goose bumps, or makes their

705
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: hair stand up on the back of their neck, or

706
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: sends a shiver down their spine. I've always been collecting

707
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: these stories. When I was a teenager. I collected a

708
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: bunch of stories for a book called Speaking of Strange,

709
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: an Anthology of true stories about you know, stuff that

710
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

711
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: And years ago I collected true stories from people all

712
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: over the world for another book called It Was a

713
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: Dark and Creepy Night, Real life encounters with a strange,

714
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: mysterious and downright terrifying. And you know, the other day

715
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: I was reading through this book and I thought to myself,

716
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: some of these stories are so interesting that I want

717
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: to start just picking out at least one of these

718
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: for every podcast. I'm reading this true experience for you

719
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: and and just let you know what it brings to mind,

720
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, what it tells us about the nature of

721
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: reality from a creepy point of view, because let's face it,

722
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: this is a paranormal podcast networking. You know, people like

723
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: creepy stuff. So listen to this story that was sent

724
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: to me from a man named Thomas Glenn Kelly, who

725
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: works as a whole seller, about an experience that he

726
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: had in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in n He wrote in n

727
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I were renting a huge beautiful old

728
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: duplex in South Minneapolis. My girlfriend worked the night shift

729
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: ten pm to seven a m. I would go to

730
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 1: bed just after she left her work, and she would

731
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: wake me in the morning when she returned home. One morning,

732
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: she woke me up and asked me why there was

733
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: a butcher knife in the bathtub. I told her I

734
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: had no idea, and we laughed it off. A few

735
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: weeks later, she woke me up and asked why the

736
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: bone cutters were in the bathtub. Again we laughed it off,

737
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: as the kitchen was adjacent to the bathroom and the

738
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: butcher blocked knife holder was on the counter just outside

739
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: the bathroom. A month or so later, a similar thing happened.

740
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: My girlfriend asked why the bone cutters were in the

741
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: bathroom sink. This odd occurrence continued throughout the three years

742
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: we lived in the duplex, a total of probably ten times,

743
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: somehow in the night kitchen cutlery and it up in

744
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: the bathtub or the bathroom sink, once in the toilet,

745
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: and towards the end of our time there, twice the

746
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: butcher knife was laying at the foot of our bed.

747
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: During our last weekend in the duplex, we threw a

748
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: party and invited the downstairs tenants. They were a couple

749
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: who had lived in the building for years, and during

750
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: the course of conversation and drinks, the subject of our

751
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: landlord came up. We both went white when they informed

752
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: us that in nineteen our landlord's mother had committed suicide

753
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: in our unit in the bathtub with a butcher knife.

754
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: That's what I call a creepy little tell. So thank

755
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: you to Thomas Glenn Kelly and Minneapolis, UH for sending me.

756
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? Now? You could say, oh, well, Josh,

757
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: that's just a spooky campfire too. Maybe it is. Or

758
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: maybe when you've lived a life like I have, and

759
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: you see enough of these kinds of stories, you begin

760
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: to realize that if you're that type of person who

761
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: creates that chain for yourself link by link, like Jacob Marley,

762
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: like Ebenezer Scrooge, whether it's a chain based on money

763
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: and greed, or it's based upon something else that's screwed,

764
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: something else that's superficial, something else that's material. Maybe sometimes

765
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: it weighs you down so heavily that it traps you

766
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: and you just can't get out right, You can't get

767
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: away from it. You're doomed to repeat something terrible as

768
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: you try to escape, but you're not allowed to escape. Now.

769
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: I know that's a downer. I know that's a downer,

770
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: but you might need to think about that. On the

771
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: other hand, listen to this. This is an email I

772
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: just recently got from Crystal in California, and she wrote,

773
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 1: I live in a very old house on the side

774
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: of the hill facing sunsets. At this time of year,

775
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: it's cold inside, so sometimes I step out into the

776
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: front yard and stand with my back to the sun

777
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: and warm up and enjoy the view. Well, this morning,

778
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: around ten thirty, I was doing this and watching my

779
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: cat down the hill where it happened clear as day. Now,

780
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: listen to this, folks, clear as day, as loud as

781
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: a normal conversational voice. It seemed like about five ft

782
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 1: behind me and a little up there was the sound

783
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: of one very clear ringing of a bell. There was

784
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: no one around me, and behind me was the house,

785
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: garage and a large oak tree. I didn't have any

786
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: scared or ominous feelings, but I am one of those

787
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: strange people who almost never feels fear. But it sounded

788
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: beautiful to me. I looked around for where it could

789
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: have come from, and I didn't find anything. Do you

790
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: know what this could be or mean? And I wrote

791
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: her back and I said, I have heard about this

792
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: phenomenon before, and it's always considered a sign that an

793
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: angel or an otherwise protective spirit is watching over you.

794
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: This signifies a blessing. So maybe you've had a similar experience,

795
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: and if so, well, perhaps that will help you in

796
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: some way. So here's what I want to do. I

797
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: want to give you a blessing, and I want to

798
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: play a tone for you that last about twenty seconds,

799
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: and this twenty second tone is going to perhaps bring

800
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: you good fortune. That's the intention for the next seven days.

801
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: Uh Now, people ask me a lot about how I

802
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,959
Speaker 1: get this type of audio, and look, I'm not ready

803
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: to give all the details out about it, but I

804
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: do use a variety of techniques, including parasite matics two

805
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: point oh, which you can learn about at Joshua pe

806
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: Warren dot com, as well as taking spectrographs, which is

807
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: sort of a scanned image of something and turning it

808
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: into sound. So this particular sound you're about to hear,

809
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: the tone for good fortune for the next seven days,

810
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: was ultimately extracted from imaging that I took of the

811
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: Golden mean the Golden ratio, which is apparently supposedly the

812
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: most beautiful, harmonious, balanced tone that you can possibly get.

813
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: So if if you're in a position like you're not

814
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: driving or whatever, and you can close your eyes and

815
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: listen to this and focus, that's what I want you

816
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: to do. So first off, let me just I'm gonna

817
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: say something to you that i want you to think about,

818
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna play this tone. I'm only gonna

819
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: do it one time. Are you ready? Here is here's

820
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: the blessing. Here we go for the next seven days.

821
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: I Sir Knight, Joshua P. Warren, bless whoever listens to

822
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: this sacred tone. I will only play it one time. Here.

823
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: It is all right. You may have noticed that the

824
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: tone went sort of like it was. It covered a

825
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: large large span of frequencies from kind of high to

826
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: low and low to high. That is exactly what it

827
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: was intended to do, and hopefully you felt good while

828
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: listening to it. Listen to it as often as possible.

829
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: And as I've mentioned already on this show, this is

830
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: one of those shows that, look, we get distracted we

831
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: get bombarded all the time with people trying to sway

832
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: us and manipulate our thinking or and right now, you know,

833
01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe you're feeling potentially distressed or depressed or any of

834
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: those things. Take this show if you if you like it.
