Speaker 1 (00:00):
And you're here. Thanks for choosing the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. Your quest for podcasts
of the paranormal, supernatural, and the unexplained ends here. We
invite you to enjoy all our shows we have on
this network, and right now, let's start with Strange Things
with Joshua P. Warren. Welcome to our podcast. Please be
(00:27):
aware the thoughts and opinions expressed by the host are
their thoughts and opinions only and do not reflect those
of iHeartMedia, iHeartRadio, Coast to Coast AM, employees of Premiere Networks,
or their sponsors and associates. We would like to encourage
you to do your own research and discover the subject
(00:48):
matter for yourself. This is Strange Things with Joshua Warren.
(01:25):
I am Joshua Pee Warren, and each week on this show,
I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news exercises,
and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
lot more on this edition of the show. Tools to
Access Truth The Secret Wisdom of Kucko Con Part three,
(01:51):
I am going to read to you the third chapter
from the book I wrote in two thousand and eight.
Called The Secret Wisdom of Kuko Khan enter Dimensional Contact
in a Holo Sentient Universe. This is the book that
deals with aliens, spirits, cryptids, esp and you. And I'm
(02:14):
not going to spend the whole podcast on this. In fact,
this is one of the shorter chapters. After that, I
have a just a variety of weird stuff, random stuff
that I want to talk about. Is that okay with you?
I bet it is. After all, you're the one listening
to a show called Strange Things. I will not lead
(02:36):
you astray, I promise. Sometimes I just make notes about
things I find interesting and I say, someday I'll talk
about that on the show. Well, this looks like it
might be one of those days. Also, if you are
a new listener, and we're fortunate because we have new
listeners joining us all the time, and maybe this is
(02:57):
the first podcast you've listened to, So here is what
I'm doing. Occasionally I will read a chapter from this
book I wrote in two thousand and eight called The
Secret Wisdom of Kugo Kan And again it doesn't take
up the whole show. But what I figure is I
will do this from time to time, and then eventually
(03:19):
I'll have read the whole book on this show, and
then I can sew all the pieces together, and i'll
have an audio book that I've read. So that's what's
going on here right now, and therefore this particular chapter
chapter three now, and I do want to point out
(03:39):
because I wrote this in two thousand and eight, I mean,
there may be things that I would write differently or
phrase differently nowadays if I if I wrote it, I
don't know. Probably I haven't read this in a while,
so we're kind of going through this together. So just
keep that in mind in case I say something horribly offensive. Okay,
let's get to chapter three of the Secret Wisdom of Caucalcan,
(04:03):
which is called Tools to Access Truth. All right, now,
I'm going to do it officially ready, Chapter three, Tools
to Access Truth. Albert Einstein said, quote the most important
decision we make is whether we believe we live in
(04:25):
a friendly or a hostile universe. End quote. From that,
perhaps we can extrapolate an even more substantive point. You
must decide whether or not you are a mere helpless
doll at the whims of some powerful and personal force,
or you are an active, engaging participant in your destiny
(04:49):
able to shape it to your liking. The dilemma of
free will versus determinism has been debated by philosophers for centuries,
but in practicality a personal level, the problem is solved
for you if there are numerous predetermined outcomes for you,
yet you are able to choose which one to experience
(05:11):
most vividly. If you believe you are solely a ragdall
batted around by impervious powers, then you may as well
lie down and die today. However, we know empirically that
you can pick yourself up and choose to develop. Therefore,
if you choose to engage the universe around you, it's
(05:33):
natural to seek assistance. The power structure of society places
psychological boundaries on us from birth, limiting what we think
we can achieve. Every time a baby pops forth into
the world, everyone assumes it will most likely grow up
to be a conditioned dummy. After all, most of us
(05:54):
are merely average. That's why it's the average. Therefore, most
people treat you like a dummy unless and until you
prove otherwise. The easiest way to begin our process of
overcoming those societal boundaries is with the assistance of tools
temporary crutches that can gradually prove the possible to you,
(06:16):
allowing you to transcend the borders so distinctly imposed. There
is a true gut instinct deep within you, molded by
millions of years, that responds to all stimuli around you.
In the general sense, it functions as a binary code
relaxing and tensing. Everything you encounter, be it physical or mental,
(06:39):
produces some gradient of contraction or relaxation. On a deep level,
you produce a vibration around you, composed of an organic
morse code, your organs clenching and releasing, sometimes many times
per second. Unfortunately, we cannot always be aware of these signals.
Since we are taught from birth to function within the
(07:02):
theater of culture, you are supposed to look, speak, and
behave in a certain way, depending on the culture. Some
of the requirements are beneficial for the collective civilization and
some are not. Regardless, a good deal of your attention
is focused upon those standards instead of acknowledging how you
feel within. Simple tools that help express how you fill
(07:26):
within are called dowsing instruments. Your body is an antenna
for all the activity around it. A dowsing instrument is
a simple device that takes a tiny reaction within your
body and magnifies it into a more visible and dramatic expression.
(07:46):
The simplest type of dowsing tool is a rod or pendulum.
There are various methods of dowsing, but most rods are
l shaped wires, and one held in each hand, swings
to and fro in response to a question. Pendulums can
be as simple as a fishing sinker tied to a
bit of wire hanging from the fingers. Detailed info on
(08:09):
these techniques and developing telekinetic ability with the homemade energy
will are in my book called How to Hunt Ghosts.
So I won't get into the specifics of how to
dows here. I bring this all up for a greater point.
Regardless of how one chooses to dows the dowsing process
(08:32):
is extremely personal, customized by the dowser. Successful dowsing begins
with the dowser first deciding what is to be sought
and gained from the dowsing, and then telling the dowsing
tool how to respond. This is often called programming. So
for example, let's say an old timer wants to find
(08:54):
water with a forked stick, well, he must decide or
tell the stick what to do when water is encountered,
and then he relaxes and strolls along until the stick responds. Now,
actually the stick itself is not necessarily responding, but his
body is responding. Since he inherently psychically knows where the
(09:16):
water is, they cannot consciously access the information. The stick
allows him to tap into his subconscious ability. If you
are dowsing with the pendulum to find the location of
your lost car keys, you would tell the pendulum to
swing clockwise for yes and counterclockwise for no. Then you
(09:38):
would proceed to ask the pendulum are they in my garage?
Are they in my bedroom? Until you get an affirmative response.
You would then continue to break it down to the
right area. Another person might apply the exact same technique,
but tell the pendulum to swing counter clockwise for yes
and clockwise for no. As you can see, in the
(10:02):
process of dowsing, what is important is the programming of
the instrument, deciding how psychic knowledge from the wormhole brain
should be expressed by a visible tool. This is the
basis for how tools work. In this sense, tools are
ultimately the devices that allow us to more easily document
our interactions with the environment. Okay, I'm going to stop
(10:27):
right there. Environment. We'll pick it up when I come
back from the break. And you know, that's one of
the things that I think is always intriguing about dowsing
is that, oftentimes, especially in like show business, it's been
(10:48):
presented as if the dowsing device has some kind of power.
The stick has a spirit in it that pools you somewhere.
The rods have a spirit react to the energy, the
pendulum has a spirit that's being controlled by exterior forces.
Even a Wigi board as a type of dowsing device,
and people believe the Wuigia board has a spirit and
(11:10):
it could be evil and you better stay away from it.
But I don't believe that's the case. I think these
are just tools. And as a matter of fact, if
you take two people who are having great success getting
messages from a wigia board and then you blindfold those people,
all of a sudden, the Wuigia board starts to speak gibberish.
So I think you see what I mean. It's tapping
(11:33):
in to the human perception more than acting as some
objective tool like we expect a scientific instrument to do,
which is why these things cannot be measured consistently and
calibrated consistently from a scientific point of view. Now, like
I say, we'll continue this in a minute, but I
want to remind you by the time you hear this,
(11:56):
I have no idea whether or not we will have
any more of the Buddhist own money, magnet and happiness
kits available. But if you want to see go to

Joshua Pewarren dot com, I am Joshua Pee Warren and
(13:00):
you're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be
right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio
(13:46):
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Joshua B. Warren, the Wizard of Weird, beaming into your
wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.
(14:07):
A giatato zoomme. Let's get back into the secret wisdom
of Kuko Kahn chapter three. Here it is okay, Here
(14:27):
we go. Are you ready? Here we go. Upon accepting
that dowsing is not about some strange physical interaction between
a tool and environment, such as a forked stick and
an underground stream, but the response of the body to
information streaming from the wormhole brain, you can reduce the
(14:51):
phenomenon to your individual ability. Science is based on things
that most humans have in common. As we explore deeper
and things are more individualized and unique, science does not apply.
That is why those consumed solely with science only understand
(15:12):
the densest crust of human experience. Here we take a
fascinating turn. Every item that is capable of receiving information
is also capable of projecting it. For example, if you
spin a magnet next to a coil of wire, the
wire produces electricity, it becomes a generator. But if you
(15:35):
apply electricity to the coil of wire the magnet spins,
it becomes a motor. A speaker can be reversed to
create a microphone, and a microphone reversed to create a speaker.
A large radio antenna can either stand passively to receive
signals from electricity in the air, or it can broadcast
(15:58):
electricity into the air so that other antennas will receive it.
One of the best examples of how broadcasting works is
the model of a swimming pool with a beach ball
floating at both ends. When a person taps the ball
at one end, ripples cross the water, and the ball
on the other end eventually bounces the same way. This
(16:20):
can be done on either end, back and forth, demonstrating
that either ball can be a sender or a receiver.
As with this example, you will find that all of
life's greatest mysteries are somehow exemplified by the small and
the small culminate in the large The motion of atoms
(16:42):
mimics the motion of star systems. Since you're a wormhole
brain can receive information useful for techniques like dowsing. It
is also capable of powerfully broadcasting data into the universe.
Just as change and variation is gathered and condensed, so
it is protected and projected and expanded. The idea that
(17:06):
your immensely strong wormhole brain can be properly focused to
send your desires into the ether, as primarily where dousing
tools transform into radionic tools. Radionic tools are divided into
various subjects, like psionics or psychatronics. I suggest you dig
into the specifics on your own. For that, I recommend
(17:28):
some of the books by Charles Kosamano, such as Psychic
Power and Psionic Power. But in a nutshell, think about
how your life, thoughts, and brain waves are shaped by
mere symbols. One of the best examples is cash. If
you're stranded in the desert with the pile of money,
it's virtually useless. Yet if you're in a city where
(17:48):
a vendor agrees the currency has some value, you can
trade it for goods. Another example, let's say someone called
you a dirty name, and you wanted to punch that person.
Now imagine the same scenario, except the person is wearing
a badge. You would most likely be less apt to
(18:09):
punch the badge wearer, since that symbol represents a list
of psychological implications that may or may not be accurate.
These very words I write are mere symbols, and yet
you are changing physically as you read them. Imagine how
your body would respond if I merely told you a
(18:31):
special loved one in your life had just died. Radionics
is the study and implementation of symbolic tools that stimulate
your mind to cause change in the universe. A part
of radionics is sacred geometry, dealing with the fact that
ancient cultures around the world used similar structures like pyramids
(18:51):
to influence the mind. To this day, in the United States,
we still have a pyramid on the dollar bill. However,
there has ever been an ancient pyramid found in the
United States. Some symbols are so ubiquitous throughout history that
they have defined mathematical staples. One mathematical ratio that constantly
(19:13):
crops up in ancient architecture, art, and in fact natural
designs is one to one point six one eight. This
is called the golden ratio or the golden mean. There
is something about that ratio that triggers a flow of
information from the human mind. Radionics devices use time proven
symbols to help you send your wishes into the universe.
(19:36):
This can be done through the usage of cool looking
machines covered in knobs and coils, or in some cases,
by simple drawings of the machines. Yes, let me repeat that,
drawings of the machines. Imagine if you could heat up
a potato by drawing a microwave and putting the potato
on top of it. That doesn't work in the boundary
(19:57):
layer of reality, but radionics taps into the dimensional layer.
Basic radionics machines have plates where you can put a
sample to represent what you want to change, and then
some mechanism by which you change it. For example, one
radionics box I own has a small metal plate where
I could place one of your hairs, and that hair
(20:18):
represents you. Next, I think about what I want to
happen to you while I turn a bunch of dials
one by one as I swing a pendulum over another plate,
stopping each dial where the pendulum indicates the dial should
stay and Once everything is in place, I leave the
entire machine as is, and eventually my wishes will come true.
(20:40):
Some call this a wishing machine, but don't forget the
whole machine can work if I simply draw it on
a paper. In some cases, therefore, it all doesn't even
have to be physically three D since it's not ultimately
operating on the physical three D level. The subject of
(21:00):
radionics to transition to the subject of magic and thought forms.
When it comes to tools, I have stressed that each
kind is ultimately connected to the same source, the wormhole brain. Frankly,
any tool that a human can create, including the most
complex computer, is still connected to the wormhole brain. Since
a brain created it, operates it, and interprets its feedback. Therefore,
(21:24):
if you want to get right down to the purest
form of tooling around both sensing the environment and sending
information into the environment to change it, it always boils
right back down to your wormhole brain. Magicians have always
known this, and that's why those folks eventually skip radionics, machines,
and magic wands and go right for pure visualization. Becoming
(21:48):
a magician is about gradually training yourself to deconstruct the
limitations of culture and reconnect with your true inner power.
It should be done in baby steps, So going through
dal and radionics, etc. First is a very wise and
effective way of transitioning from the resistance layer to the
dimensional layer. I don't think I need to say this,
(22:12):
but at last, when I write of magicians, I'm not
talking about illusionists to entertain I'm speaking of people who
perfect the art of affecting change in the universe according
to their will at a faster rate than it would
normally occur. Alister Crowley popularize the spelling of magic as
m agic k instead of magic to clarify that distinction.
(22:36):
So how exactly does magic work? Well, if there is
only one lesson you should take from this book, it
is this thoughts are real, tangible things affect all levels
of reality. Because we are distracted by the resistance layer,
we too often consider thoughts to be an energy on
the dimensional layer alone, and that could not be further
(23:00):
from the truth. Thoughts impact the resistance layer just as
much as the dimensional or boundary layers. However, thoughts do
not necessarily create instant change. They take time to resonate
through the environment. That's why it's exceptionally rare for someone
to be able to sit down and move a ping
pong ball instantly at will. On the other hand, thoughts
(23:23):
can move your body incredibly quickly given your body's proximity
to the thought. Each time you decide to move your
arm and your arm moves, you are witnessing a form
of telekinesis. Newtonian physicist and Newtonian physics tell us that
for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction.
(23:43):
But this cannot explain how you move your body with
a simple thought alone unless thoughts actually do possess physical power.
Indeed they do. Okay, I'm going to pause here now
and let's see when we come back. Oh yeah, there's
(24:06):
only like another couple of paragraphs left, and then I'll
finish this up. And then you know what. I was
listening to this woman who is an intuitive channeler, and
she has this special spirit guide, and she was being
interviewed on Coast to Coast AM and she she gave
(24:31):
this description of what happens when you die, and she
said something that seemed a little oddly familiar to me.
And then she said something else which is perhaps unsettling
or it could be comforting, but I'm not sure how
(24:54):
accurate it is. I'm going to share that with you,
and then we're just gonna get to some other weird
and interesting trivia and just some stuff that I've been
wanting to talk about. So I hope you've been enjoying
this reading so far of the Secret Wisdom of Couga.
Con will wrap that up, oh shortly. I am Joshua
(25:17):
pe Warren, and you're listening to Strange Things on the
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am parin normal podcast network,
and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome
(26:03):
back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
coastam para normal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Okay,
I'm about to finish up this reading from my book
(26:24):
I wrote in two thousand and eight, The Secret Wisdom
of Kuku Khan. And if you want to just go
ahead and download this whole book and read it, it's
available right now if you go to Joshua Pewarren dot
com and click the link to the Curiosity Shop. And
it doesn't cost very much either, all right, So I'm
finishing up the reading of chapter three. Each thought of
(26:51):
yours extends into the ocean of thoughts around it. A
week thought will quickly drop off and become diluted. A strong,
concentrated thought can be just as condensed and effective as
a bullet, though taking time to fashion a thought into
a self contained, penetrating vehicle to be fired into the
(27:15):
ether is an extremely significant task. These capsules of intention
are what we can call thought forms. A master magician
knows how to quickly and efficiently create thought forms, then
fire them into the ether, producing change with great effectiveness.
(27:36):
Though a practicing apprentice magician will use tools, be they wands, candles,
voodoo dolls, radionics, machines, etc. To help visualize and focus
thought forms to be projected, a master magician needs no
tools other than seasoned, perfected imagination. Many cultures call a
(27:57):
person who has reached this level a wizard or which
I prefer to call practitioner, as a manifestor, and the
most apt is a master manifestor. These are people who
create their own reality, whatever that entails to some degree
each day. Can a master manifesto completely create whatever reality
(28:18):
he or she wants, of course, not for that, you
would need the biggest mind in the universe. There are
always limitations, since the power of your mind is up
against the universal mind or the collective mind of those
around you. For example, no matter how proficient you are
at manifestation, you will eventually die from the resistance layer
(28:41):
or the physical world. This is due to a mind
far more powerful than yours alone. Who am I talking about? God?
God is not a particular, isolated sentient being. God is
the collective creation. The entire universe is a moving, conscious,
active power, and since we are each part of the collective,
(29:04):
whatever abilities you possess are also possessed by the universe.
Since you are conscious, the universe is also conscious. Since
you move and decide, the universe also moves and decides.
The design of the universe is the most efficient design
energies moving via the path of least resistance. That is
(29:27):
why characteristics of your cells and atoms such as orbits,
are present and observable in the highest cycles of the universe.
Once again, the little represents the big and the big
represents the little. Of course, little and big are completely
relative terms. Hence the importance of Einstein's portrayal of relativity.
(29:48):
In our grasp of how all mechanisms work. Since the
universe is conscious, if you are aware enough, you can
perceive the conscious intent and it will guide you on
the mo successful, happy course for your life. Ask and
ye shall receive is grounded in this philosophy. The asking
(30:09):
must be sincere, defined and persistent. The rate of reception
is determined by the mind or minds greater than yours.
But the request will eventually be fulfilled within those limitations.
Since the universe is a creator and you are a creation,
the ability to create is extended within you. You are
(30:33):
also a creator, and that sense the meaning of life
is to give life meaning. Every mirror in my house
has a piece of paper attached that says, what will
I create today? I suggest you attach such a reminder
to every mirror and your house as well. Over time
(30:55):
you may become a master magician, a master manifest r Okay,
So that is the end of chapter three of the
Secret Wisdom of Cocacon. You know what something I've been
doing more recently, because again I wrote this in two
thousand and eight. I also on mirrors around my house
(31:16):
I put a note or a sticker that says you
are manifesting, and that's it's a similar thing because it
reminds you that right now, whatever you're thinking is like
whether it's good or bad, you don't have a choice.
Whatever you're thinking, you're putting it out there, okay, and
it's it's gonna you know, so be careful what you're
(31:37):
putting out there. And you know, there are people who
talk about stuff like the law of attraction, and they say,
well that it doesn't make sense that like attracts like
because you know, you have magnets in the north pole
attracts the opposite. The north pole attracts a south pole,
you know, or with electricity, and the negative charge attracts
the positive charge. Opposites attract. Well, that doesn't apply to everything.
(32:00):
It certainly doesn't apply where humans are concerned. When it
comes to human relationships, people who are in long term relationships,
they don't stick together because they're so opposite. They have
enough in common that keeps them together. But look at
say gravity. The law of attraction is basically another form
(32:22):
of how gravity works. It's almost like a spiritual form
of gravity. You know. Gravity is about things, you know,
being like matter being attracted to itself, which creates form
and keeps everything from just flying apart. But let me
point out a couple of things before I get into
what this lady what she said she thinks happens when
(32:44):
you die. I know, when I read stuff like I've
been reading to you, there are people out there who
might say, this is fascinating, this is interesting. But I don't.
I don't believe this is gonna work for me. I don't.
I don't have enough faith. I don't have enough belief,
you know, And then they keep saying things like that,
and that's okay, Well, let me let me address this
for a second. It is true that faith is an
(33:07):
important part of making any positive progress in life. And
I say that because you know, some people might say that, well,
faith means I'm believing in something without any evidence, But
that's not what it means. Faith means that you realize
that you can't see the future directly. You just have
(33:29):
to imagine it. So in other words, like if you
keep doing the same thing that you're doing right now,
then nothing is going to change and progress for you
that you're in control of. Eventually external things will come in.
And you know, it's like you're either the master of
mind or mastered by mind. So if you don't, if
you don't change anything for yourself, then nothing's going to change.
(33:52):
And if it does change, it's probably going to change
in the way that you don't like because you're not
participating in it. But what faith to mean is that
you're at a point where you you don't you know,
you acknowledge and this is hard to explain, but you
acknowledge that you can't see what tomorrow directly, but if
you imagine it, you take actions to help that happen. Okay,
(34:18):
That's what faith is. And sometimes you do things that
are really scary to test your faith, and most of
the time you'll find out that when you do that,
I mean, it actually works. And at some point I
might do a whole, big, long thing about faith when
I'm more prepared to talk about it articulately. But let
(34:41):
me specifically address belief though, because there are a lot
of misconceptions about like you have to believe in something
for it to work. Hogwash. Okay. In my book, and
you can download this from my curiosity shop called Finding
Your Magic, I talk about this idea here that that
(35:02):
there are people who think that belief is the key
to access magical results, and that is a mistake. And
some people think, if you just believe in something like that,
well that's naive. But belief is extremely overrated. What is
you know, what's what's important. What's more important than belief perception.
(35:25):
And here's what I mean by that. Take an optical illusion.
I have one that I put in the book. I'm
looking at it right now. It's a picture and it
has these circles on it, and the circles look like
they're spinning. Now they're not. Okay, this is not a cartoon,
this is a still image. But I look at that
and the circles look like they're spinning. They look that
(35:45):
way because it's an optical illusion. Now I know they're
not actually spinning. I do not believe they are spinning.
But when I see them, regardless of what I know,
regardless of what I believe, I see them this spinning.
And a lot of the tools that you can use
(36:05):
to whip your mind into shape have nothing to do
with whether or not you believe. These tools affect your
mind in a certain way. They affect your brain in
a certain way that's almost like a placebo kind of effect,
and and it makes it makes you. It forces you
(36:26):
to be in a mindset that manifests things, and in fact,
you also might be surprised. And I have let me
you know, I'm going to try to squeeze two or
three interesting things in here. There's this guy he wrote
this book and uh, let's see, I think it was
eighteen ninety four. Does that sound right? Let me see here, Yeah,
(36:48):
eighteen ninety four. This guy named Orson Sweet Martin. He
wrote this book called Pushing to the Front, which has
been admired by a lot of famous figures throughout history.
You know, Teddy Roosevelt and like all you know, all
these you have these big, big figures and uh, and
he pointed out something that I want to point out
to you when we come back from this book that's
(37:11):
been around since eighteen ninety four, that I think is
beneficial to just about everybody. And then I'll finally get
into like like what this woman said might happen when
you die, And then I've got at least one or
two other bits of trivia that I want to get into.
You know, I'm just I'm just kind of exploring, letting
(37:33):
my mind wander here. I'm glad that you're here to
explore and let your mind wander along with me. I'm
Joshua pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things all on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast damn para Normal podcast Network.
And I will be right back. Welcome back to the
(38:25):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast am para Normal Podcast Network.
I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren. And in his eighteen
ninety four book called Pushing to the Front, which is
a long book Warrison Sweat Marden, he wrote, the secret
(38:53):
of life is to be ready for opportunity when it comes.
Says quote, there are no longer any chances for good men,
complained a youthful law student to Daniel Webster, and Daniel
(39:15):
Webster said there was always room at the top. The
author says, we look too high for things close by.
He's talking about opportunities where you are. He writes, a
Baltimore lady lost a valuable diamond bracelet at a ball
(39:36):
and supposed that it was stolen from the pocket of
her cloak. Years afterward, she washed the steps of the
Peabody Institute, pondering how to get money to buy food.
She cut up an old, worn out, ragged cloak to
make a hood when low, and the lining of the
cloak she discovered the diamond bracelet. During all her poverty,
(39:58):
she was worth thirty five dollars but did not know it.
And then he tells this story, says, many of us
who think we are poor are rich, and opportunities if
we can only see them, and possibilities all about us,
and faculties worth more than diamond bracelets. And our large
eastern cities. It has been found at least ninety four
(40:19):
out of every hundred found their first fortunate home or
near at hand, and in meeting common every day wants.
It is a sorry day for a young man who
cannot see opportunities where he is, but thinks he can
do better somewhere else. Some Brazilian shepherds organized a party
(40:39):
to go to California to dig gold and took a
handful of translucent pebbles along to play checkers with on
the voyage. After arriving in San Francisco, and after they
had thrown most of the pebbles away, they discovered that
they were diamonds. They hastened back to Brazil only to
find that the minds from which the pebbles had been
(41:01):
gathered had been taken up by other prospectors and sold
to the government. And he gives, you know, story after
story like this, And you know, that's one of the
things that I always try to tell people, like, if
you're trying to manifest, you know, the most important thing
to manifest is health, and it's also the hardest thing
to manifest because unfortunately we all have to break down
(41:23):
and die and you don't know what that process is
going to be like for each of us. But beyond health, yeah,
you want wealth, you want money, but you shouldn't always
just try to manifest money directly. You should also think
about opportunities that might bring money to you. Sometimes the
most valuable thing you can manifest is an idea, an idea,
(41:47):
and even if it's if somebody else has had the
same idea, maybe you can do it better regardless. Getting
back to death, I was listening recently, let's see on
March eighth of twenty twenty three to George Norri on
Coast to Coast AM interview Melissa Gates Perry. She is
an intuitive channel with a spirit guide named Erra Lamb
(42:12):
and she gives readings. Her site is her name Melissa
Gates Perry dot com Perry spelled pr ry. And she
said at one point that when you die, that everyone,
no matter who you are, what you did, no matter
if you're a hitler or mother Teresa, everyone goes to
the same place at first, which she describes as a
(42:34):
big lobby. And she said, you know, and I don't
want to put words in her mouth, but she was
basically saying like, it literally looks like a big lobby
with like multiple floors and escalators and stairs, and you know,
a lot of activity going and everybody goes there to
kind of get sorted out. And it was weird because
when she said that, I cannot tell you how many
(42:56):
times I have had dream experiences. And I don't know
if their dreams or if I'm astrally projecting, but I
find myself in something that I would describe like that.
It's almost like a big shopping mall slash lobby environment
and there's a there are people going up and down,
and there's I mean, so she immediately had my attention
(43:16):
when she said that that's the first stop. Everybody goes there.
But then she went on to say, once you kind
of get sorted, then the next step is, and this
is when people talk about heaven and hell, that you
have to feel as your lesson. You have to feel
(43:38):
everything that you made other people feel as long as
that takes. So she said, if you're somebody like Hitler,
you made so many people feel so bad, it's going
to be a long long time for you to make
it through all those people. And so I think you
get the idea. It's like, you know, it's the karma
(43:58):
you have to experience every every way you made somebody
else feel something all throughout your life. And uh, you know,
if you if you think about that for a second,
it's kind of chilling, isn't it. But if you but
then you know, you know at first that that sounds
like true karma. You know for every action there's an
opposite but equal reaction. But then I was like, well,
(44:20):
if that, if that, if that's the case, like, does
that mean the more people you influenced in general, the
longer that takes, Like like celebrities who knew bunches and bunches,
they have to go through this longer than some hermit
maybe maybe well, or what about overly sensitive people you know,
(44:45):
you say something to somebody and you don't mean to
offend them and they're just crushed by it. Are you
responsible for feeling that as well? I don't know. It's
just food for thought, isn't it. That's just something interesting
to think of about. So there you go. I've shared
that with you, and uh, you can. You can email
me if you have some thoughts on this. And I
(45:09):
understand the gist of what she's saying though. Okay, here's
some random trivia. I was interviewed recently by a host
in England, and I've been to England. Um, I get
interviewed a lot in England. I had friends who are
from England. I my wife and I we watch a
lot of English programming. And if you're an American, you've
(45:32):
probably noticed at some point over the years that English
people they mean something different when they say biscuit than
we do. Usually, if an English person mentions a biscuit,
they're talking about something more like we would call a
cracker or maybe even a cookie. And in this country,
(45:53):
when we talk about a biscuit, we're talking about, you know,
a nice fluffy, golden pastry that you might have with
gravy for breakfast in the morning, or you might cut
it in half at some point in the day and
treating and turn it into a sandwich, you know, you
put a tomato or some meat and cheese in there.
And obviously there are a lot of differences between here
(46:15):
and there. But for some reason we started talking about
like why biscuit in particular, what's the story behind this
vast gulf and biscuit definition between us and the English?
So I looked it up. Do you know, here is
(46:36):
what the etymology tells us. And honestly, this is a
little bit it's still a little bit confusing, at least
it is. Maybe that's just me, Okay. So it says
the old French word biscuit, which is spelled very similar
b e scu. It is derived from the Latin words
(46:57):
biss which means twice and cocked us or cooked us,
which means to cook. Therefore, that Latin word biscuit means
twice cooked. And this is because the biscuits were originally
cooked in a twofold process. First they were baked and
(47:21):
then dried out in a slow oven, okay, And so
this created a hard, a nice, hard little product, and
that is what English people call a biscuit. It's a nice, hard,
little crunchy product, and it says also. The Dutch language
from around seventeen o three had adopted the word cookie,
(47:45):
which is about koe kje cookie, which means little cake,
to have a similar meaning for a similar hard baked product.
The difference between the secondary Dutch word and that of
Latin origin is that, whereas the cookie is a cake
that rises during baking, the biscuit, which has no right
(48:09):
raising agent in general, does not. And so it goes
on to say, when continental Europeans began to immigrate to
colonial North America, the two words and their same but
different meanings began to clash. The words cookie or cracker
became the words of choice to mean a hard bake product.
(48:31):
And therefore, you know, oh boy, let's see here. And
then a cookie is a small, flat or slightly raised cake,
a biscuits, any of various hard or crisp, dry bake products.
Did that make sense to you? I don't know. I
guess I understand a little bit more. But here you go, folks,
