blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do
(01:17):
at home, and a lot more on this edition of
the show. Amazing happy endings. Plus what does it really
mean to raise your vibration? You know, you hear people
say that all the time. Become more spiritual, Do this,
It's good for you. It'll raise your vibration. What does
(01:39):
that actually mean? Well, it's a it's a good, legitimate question,
and we're going to dig into that and probably some
other weird things. Uh, just depending on how much time
I have, you know, sometimes I just start talking and
just I just see where it goes. But let's jump
into Amazing Happy Endings because I mentioned this recently on
(02:03):
one of my podcasts. This is a new book project
for me I am putting together in anthology. I want
your stories. I'm talking to you. Yes, you listening to me.
I want your story to be a part of this collection.
It's called Amazing Happy Endings, True Stories to make you smile.
(02:25):
And there are only four rules if you have a
story that you want to submit to be in this book.
Rule number one is your story must be true. Rule
number two, your story must be short, ideally no more
than a few paragraphs. Number three, your story must be amazing.
(02:47):
And number four, your story must have a happy ending.
And since I announced this, oh, let me tell you what,
the stories have just come pouring in. And I am
so excited. I'm so happy because if you submit a story,
and of course I have a team of people, some
(03:08):
editors and various people in addition to myself, who are
gonna read over everything and we're gonna figure out which
ones need to be kind of edited and whipped into
shape and then put into the book. If we pick
one of your stories, well then you get a free
copy of the book. And I'm thinking about maybe throwing
in some other cool, free little surprises for you as well.
(03:30):
You know me, I like to do that kind of thing.
But a portion of all cells when the book comes out,
we'll go to various charities, and it's all about helping
you feel good, helping all of us feel good. We
need that nowadays, don't we. Uh, If you want to
submit a story, good to Amazing Happy Endings dot com.
Amazing Happy Endings dot Com. But let me read to
(03:54):
you some of the stories that have come in so
far to give you an idea of what this book
is going to be like. All right, and then this
I again, I just picked two or three a handful
out of the Giants tech. So here is one from
a doctor, a doctor named Mitchell Max Dolnig, and he uh,
(04:21):
he is in Texas, and he's talking about the incident
that happened to him in He says, after seeing a
run of emergency room patients, I had gone back to
the call room and was in a deep, deep sleep.
Suddenly I literally jumped out of bed, yelling at myself
(04:43):
to run. Damn it, run man, move it. It was
my own self telling me to run like I never
had before. As I slipped by bare feet into my shoes,
I asked, run where my own voice answered, just start running,
move it. I almost started running barefoot, but I did
(05:04):
not know where I was going, Almost being pulled at
every corner, I ran through corridors and hallways and came
out in the e r. The receptionists exclaimed, Dr Dolnig,
there are no patients, and why are you here? She
likely saw my messed up hair and my disheveled appearance.
(05:26):
As I took three steps forward, I said aloud with determinism,
I don't know. And I kicked a metal door open,
which revealed the body of a man lying on the ground.
I called Code blue and we rushed the lifeless body
(05:47):
into trauma. He was flatline, essentially dead, but after a
round of cardiac drugs, intubation, and defibrillation, he complete lee
awoke seemingly unscathed. He had been experiencing chest pain and
decided to drive himself to the hospital, but collapsed trying
(06:10):
to make it in there. And it was unnoticed one
or two minutes later, his chances of recovery would have
been dismal. I had never kicked doors open in the
hospital or acted like that before or since, and I
don't know how that had occurred. To this day, the
gentleman had a complete recovery. Now, you see, folks, true short, amazing,
(06:44):
happy ending. This is. You know how nice it is
to get stories like this flooding in from real people
all over the world. I love it, I love it.
Thank you for that. Dr Mitchell, Max Dali. Um, I'm
gonna read you some more of these and uh, of
course you know all Paul's when when breaks come up.
But all right here, here's this one really made me smile. Okay,
(07:07):
this comes from Molly and Kasiden, and she is an
intuitive medium and she lives in Georgia now, but this
incident happened to her when she was living in California
back in n I'll tell you something about Molly Kasiden.
She when my my birthday, it was October, and of
(07:27):
course she's a big fan of the show, and she
gave me a wonderful gift. She recorded a private reading
and sent it to me and of course, on my birthday.
One of the things I wanted to do was get
away from media and just turn off my cell phone
because I'm always bombarded. But I saw that she sent
me that I go, I better watch this, and I
watched this video and she said some very strange things
(07:51):
that didn't make sense to her or me at the
time exactly, but I remembered them and before over the
next twenty four hours, it all made sense, and basically,
in a nutshell, I went to spend my birthday in
a big, fancy resort and casino, and she was picking
up on something that was directing me toward a certain
(08:14):
machine where I hit a jackpot and made a lot
of money. So that gives you a little insight into
Molly Ann Kesten. I'm sure she will be on this
program at some point in the future. But listened to
her story, she said the line wound around the huge
industrial building at least twice. As I lumbered towards the
(08:39):
incredibly fit, fresh and youthful five hundred or so competitors,
I stuck out as a fat, sore thumb. Although I
was only about twenty five, I seemed ancient in comparison
to the late teens and early twenty hopeful. It's all
vying to be part of this elite cast. Okay, so
she's auditioning here, she says. As we stood around wearing
(09:02):
labels with numbers on them, mine was. I observed these
willowy youngsters stretching, practicing dance moves, and sipping their bottle
bottles of designer water while I sweated in my fronty
jacket and slacks. I figured I'd be mucking around in
a mini mouse costume. Oh, I should also, I should mention, Okay,
(09:27):
this is an Anaheim, California. She's at disney Land. So like,
if we added this, and I'm sure we will, we'll
we'll point out, like this is happening at Disneyland. Otherwise
you're like, why is she gonna be in a mini mouse? Anyway,
she goes, I figured she's auditioning at Disneyland, she says.
I figured I'd be mucking around in a mini mouse costume.
(09:50):
But as I waited in line and overheard the experienced conversations,
I realized this was a bigger deal. We went before
a panel of judges and groups of twenty while they
loo to each of us and said, either you stay
or you go, and I had no clue what specifically
they were looking for, but I knew I was definitely
not going to be able to compete with these live
(10:11):
and lovely ladies. I weighed over three hundred pounds at
five ft tall, frumpy, sweaty, and obviously uncomfortable. And when
I stepped forward, the panel whispered to each other amongst giggles,
it's not a good signs. But then one of them said,
(10:32):
you stay. I wasn't sure if I was happy or
being tricked at that point. Over the next few days,
they triage the candidates, dismissing actors at each stage of
the auditions. By the third day, there were about one
hundred candidates left, and yes, I was one of them.
(10:53):
Prepared with snacks and dressed more appropriately for movement. I
felt positive about the upcoming portion, just laying our dancing abilities.
I had little formal training, but I was always rhythmic,
enabled to boogie. My confidence disintegrated as they outlined a
dance routine with difficult ballet moves and waltzing. I was
(11:14):
awkward and bumping into others, becoming the laughing stock of
the auditions. Okay, we're gonna take a break that this
is not sound like that's gonna have a happy ending, doesn't.
She thinks she's becoming the laughing stock at the auditions.
But there is a happy ending, and I'll tell you
that ending when we come back from this break. I
(11:36):
also want to emphasize something to you. I do all
kinds of interesting projects and I give away all kinds
of cool free stuff that I don't talk about on

(13:57):
back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and
Coast to Coast i AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Joshua pe 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
(14:21):
and I love these amazing, happy ending stories because often
you get to see synchronicity play out, and it reminds
you that there does seem to be some kind of
grand design here that we are all experiencing little by little,
(14:43):
bit by bit, glimpse by glimpse, and whether it's a
bad thing that's going to happen or a good thing
that's going to happen, it seems like there is a
design and you just never know which way it's going
to turn out. But maybe you can influence it, and
maybe you can you can shape it in your favor
(15:03):
a little bit. We'll talk more about that later, but yes,
Strange Coincidences is one of my favorite books. It's the
Ripley's Believe It or Not book that was published oh
back in the day. Let's see it looks like nineteen
ninety and on the front they have an illustration of
a pilgrim standing on a shore with the Native American
(15:24):
in front of him, and it says when the pilgrims
landed in six twenty, they were greeted by an Indian
who spoke English. And of course we recently had Thanksgiving,
and so I posted that on my social media and uh,
A lot of people had a lot of interesting thoughts
(15:45):
about that. But you know, it's like some people are like, well, duh,
everybody knew that, and then other people are like, is
this true? This That's how it goes. But let's get
back to some of these brand new, fresh stories that
nobody's ever heard submitted for my Amazing Happy Endings book project.
And again I hope you'll contribute. I want your story
(16:05):
if you go to Amazing Happy Endings dot com. Let's
get back to Molly's story. She's been auditioning here in
Disneyland and she's dancing, and she said that she's becoming
the laughing stock of the auditions as far as she
can tell. And then she goes on to say, the
moment came from my group of ten to perform the
(16:28):
tune from Sleeping Beauty, and I could barely remember, much
less execute the routine. The music began and I started
out strong. However, as the music swell to the more
difficult parts, I became lost and clumsy, and at that
point I just said, screw this, and I began doing
(16:50):
silly dance moves, disco jitterbug, the Charleston, the bump, the hitchhiker, etcetera.
I smiled brightly as I died a small death inside,
telling myself to just have fun. Who cares about the outcome?
As the music ended. Drenched humiliated and horrified at my
(17:16):
compulsive behavior, I scurried back to the side and sat
down on the floor, bursting into tears from embarrassment. Then
I heard a clap, then applause. Actors gathered around me,
telling me how fabulous, cute, and funny I was in
(17:36):
the middle of a sincere group hug. The panel deliberated
and then asked me up to the table first. Molly.
Someone said, that was the best audition we have ever seen.
Your energy, humor, and decision to let it all out
(17:57):
is why we are going to cast you as the
Fairy Godmother here at Disneyland. Congratulations. I got to be
the first Fairy Godmother in Disney history to mingle among
the guests in the park. I not only got to
(18:17):
work in the happiest place on Earth, I got to
have the happiest face on Earth. To this day, anytime
I am feeling unsure of myself, I remember being me
is always the right answer. Bibbity Bobby Boo did you
(18:39):
see that one coming. That's great, isn't it. Thank you, Molly,
you know it's it's so fun to read these stories. Alright,
how about this one? This comes from James Colonna. I'll
tell you what. He's another fan of the show. And
he also he's been listening for a long time, and
he lives in Pennsylvania, and he is a conductor and composer,
(19:01):
and he has had tremendous success using the wishing machines.
And you don't know about the wishing machines, just go
to the Curiosity shop on my website and you'll see
what I'm talking about. He's had tremendous success. So I
was really eager to see what his story was gonna be.
And here it is, he says. Uh. In nineteen I
was in college pursuing my music degree. I just completed
(19:23):
my enlistment in the U. S. Army and was now
struggling to pay my college tuition on the g I
bill and student loans. My parents went car shopping and
while at the dealers shop, they played a promotional game
to put for gold. Okay, my father, oh, to put,
I'm sorry, I said, and not put. I'm reading this
(19:44):
stuff fresh you know to put so you know like
you're you're putting like a mini golf. Okay, so to
put for goal p U T T. I guess it's so,
he says. My father sank the put five times, each
time earning an entry to win a new car. So
you get the Just you have success with the putting,
you get a chance of winning a car, so he said.
(20:06):
One afternoon, I received a call that my name was
drawn to win the car at a promotional event, and
my mother and I talked about what we would do
if I won the car. Well, we had two options,
keep the keep the car, or trade it back in
for cash value to help pay for my tuition and
that of my siblings. The night arrived and I, along
(20:29):
with my mother, attended the dinner at the fancy country club,
and before we sat down, I was standing on the
balcony watching the sunset. To my surprise, I saw two
very large angels on both sides of the sun. I
(20:50):
put my intention into the sunset, and a woman's voice
sweetly spoke to me. The voice quote she used the
key with teeth on both sides end quote. We sat
down for dinner and I was introduced to the other
(21:10):
two contestants. One was an elderly couple and the other
a couple in their thirties. Well, the moment arrived and
the three contestants were called outside. Next to the car.
It was a Dodge and trepid, and this pretty woman
walked out with the trade had three keys. The announcer began, quote,
all our contestants need to do is put the key
(21:31):
in the ignition and if it starts the car, they
wind quote. Well, the woman with the tray walked to
the elderly couple and they chose a key with no teeth.
Then she walked to the next couple and they chose
a key with teeth only halfway up one side of
the shift. And as they chose their keys, I stared
down at the key with teeth on both sides. This
as the key that remained, and I reached down for
(21:54):
that final key, and that's when the female voice in
my head said softly, you already won. And the same
order as we chose keys, we went to the car
to try to start the engine. The elderly couple nothing,
mid thirties couple nothing. Then I sat down and started
(22:16):
the car up. Yes, I won the car. We sold
the car back to the dealer a week later and
took the cash value to pay for my and my
siblings college tuition. I think I won because I never
thought of myself but what the money could do for
all of us. The universe is a friendly place that
(22:39):
wants me to be happy and successful. How do you
like that one, folks? Thank you? Jim Kalanna, Pennsylvania. Okay,
let me see if I can squeeze one more in
before this next break. This one's oh, this is see,
(23:01):
somebody's getting really paranormal like that one had angels and
this is this is a parent more paranormal one. This
comes from Daniel. I guess his last name was pronounced
mulino uh and he lives in Florida. He's a financial
advisor and this is something that happened to him in Washington,
d C. In n he says, and the fall of
(23:21):
ninety six, my wife and I were living in a
beautiful turn of the century log cabin and the suburbs
of Washington, d C. One night, she was out of town,
so it was the dog and myself defend for ourselves.
At bedtime, I let the pup out to take care
of his final business for the day. The house was
(23:42):
surrounded by acres of woods, and the pooch decided he
was going to stay outside for the night. After calling
for some time, I reluctantly went to bed. At around
two a m. I was awoken by a strange sound.
For my bed, I could see the old wooden front
(24:03):
door of the cabin slowly creak open, exactly like in
the old horror movies they would portray it so well,
and standing in the figure excuse me, standing in the
doorway was a female figure in a flowing white dress,
with head hung low. Time froze. I could not move
(24:27):
a muscle or speak a word, and after an intense effort,
I managed to croak out my wife's name, and this
got the world moving again. And a split second, the
figure flew from the door and into my room, and
there was a huge pounce on my bed, and there
(24:48):
was the dog on my bed. A ghost had brought
my pet home and opened the door for him. He
was as happy as could be. I was deeply shaken.
We moved out of that house a few months later,
but the event will forever be etched into my mind
and has led me on a life of paranormal research
(25:12):
and discovery true story. Thank you, Daniel. Maybe when we
come back, I'll read one more of these and then
I'm going to get into what does it mean? Why
is this important? Raising your vibration. I'm Joshua Pete Warren.
(25:36):
You're listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast SAM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be
back right after this. We are happy to announce that
our Coast to Coast a M official YouTube channel has
(25:58):
now reached over three hundred thousand subscribers. You can listen

so head on over to the Coast to Coast a
M dot com website and hit the YouTube icon at
the top of the page. This is free show audio,
so don't wait. Coast to Coast a M dot com
(26:22):
is where you want to be. Welcome back to Strange
(26:57):
Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
Stay in Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua
Pete Warren, and this is the show where the unusual
becomes usual. And this is a reminder when you are
judging your life and the world, look outside your own door.
(27:22):
And see the world as it really is. Don't be
dominated by the fear mongering that surrounds us. That is
pure evil, because fear is always the path to the
dark side. Always. And I find it refreshing to read
some of these stories coming in that have an amazing,
(27:45):
happy ending, and they don't necessarily have to be paranormal.
And yet it almost seems like that when something amazing
happens in life, it just kind of seems like there
is something paranormal going on. You know, you're, you're, you're, you're,
you're watching that design, that strange organization materialized before your eyes.
(28:10):
So here is one more amazing, happy ending story. And
this comes from Pam Burt in Salem, Oregon, and she
has retired, and this happened in two thousand eighteen. She writes,
I was out in the yard doing a little light
yard work on a fall day. The house I lived
(28:30):
in at that time had a large deck under several
fur trees, so I was sweeping fur needles off the
deck and taking them around the end of the house
to a bin. I came back from dumping a load
of needles to the back of my house and I
saw my mother, who had died about eight years before,
(28:57):
sitting on my back deck at the patio table and
smiling at me. Okay, did you get that she sees
the spirit of her mother who died eight years ago?
She goes on to write, I was stunned, but in
control enough to stop and check myself. Was I overworked? No,
(29:20):
I just started overheated. No, it was a beautiful fall day.
But Mom just sat there, smiling at me, almost laughing. Really,
I said Mom, and started to move toward hers as
fast as I could, but she just slowly faded away
(29:40):
before I could reach her. The one thing that made
me realize I really saw. What I saw was that
she was holding a drink of something, a glass in
her hand. Now, when I moved into the house a
few months before, I had thrown out all my mismatched
drinking glasses and bought all new matching blue glasses, and
(30:05):
my mom's drink was not in one of those glasses.
She brought her own. So you see amazing happy endings.
It covers a wide range, and I'll read some more
of these from time to time as the project proceeds.
But I hope you'll submit a story, and if you
(30:28):
have a story, that's true, that's short, no more than
a few paragraphs. That's amazing, that has a happy ending.
Go to Amazing, Happy Endings dot com to submit your
story right now. I'm collecting stories right now, and I
understand this podcast and by the time you hear it,
it might be too late. But I'm recording this right now.
It's it's early December of two thousand twenty one. I
(30:48):
hope that you're able to to go ahead and participate.
And also, uh, we of all the stories we've gotten,
one guy said that he went to the website and
he typed story in and then something went wrong on
his computer or the website or whatever, and and and
he lost it. So I recommend when you write your
(31:10):
your story, you know, write it somewhere where you can
say it right it in whatever your word processor is,
or write it in an email and send it to
yourself or something like that, so that if you are
going to submit it, if something goes wrong and you
don't just lose your work. But Amazing Happy Endings dot
com or go to Joshua pe Warren dot com and
(31:32):
currently you will find a link at the top of
the homepage that will take you there and you'll see
all the instructions. I cannot wait till this is done
and this book comes out next year, and it's just
gonna be it's gonna be wonderful. We all need this.
And again, all of you who get your story selected,
you're gonna get a free book and probably some other
cool stuff from me. I think it's important for us
(31:56):
to to focus on these types of stories, but as
it helps us raise our vibration. And I got an
email from someone a few months ago. I've been meaning
to bring this up, and I forget to who it was,
but the person said, you know, I really want to
be a more spiritual person. And I read books and
(32:18):
I listened to these shows and everybody's talking about raising
your vibration, but I don't understand what that means. What
exactly does that mean to raise your vibration? And and
that's a very good, legitimate question. So I thought about it,
and here is what I came up with as the
best way to answer this. Yeah, I think of it
in terms of light. So light is an electro magnetic
(32:46):
radiation that's vibrating, that's pulsing. When you have no light,
you have the absence of light, you have darkness. When
you look out into outer space and it's dark, you're
looking at what William Shatner described as death. Okay, that's cold,
(33:08):
lifeless darkness out there. That's death, the absence of light,
no vibration. And it's interesting when you look at this
from a biblical perspective. Of course, the Bible starts out
with in the Book of Genesis, it says, and in
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and
(33:29):
the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of
God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
let there be light. And there was light. And God
saw the light and it was good. And God divided
(33:50):
the light from the darkness. Now, whether or not you
believe in the Bible, just about every religion and tradition
has some version of this concept that light is the
predecessor to life. The absence of vibration is it's just silence,
it's stillness. Light is a a pulsation, and a low vibration.
(34:17):
Light appears to our eyes as the color red. And
then if you increase the vibration or the pulsation a
little bit, it goes up to orange, and you increase
it a little more, and it goes to yellow, and
you increase it a little more, and it goes to
uh green, and then you increase it more and it
goes to blue and then indigo into violet. And in fact,
I have had some of these, uh you know, I've
(34:39):
done experiments with a parasitmatics two point oh where I'm
able to take a beam of light, whether it's a
laser or whatever, and shine it at a sensor and
that sensor will translate that color of light into a sound.
So if you move it from red and it sounds
like and then you go to orange, goes and you
(35:02):
go to yeller, and then you can if you if
you go through red, orange, jella, greene, he goes. You
hear that rise, Okay, that rise in vibration, and thinking
negative thoughts condense and lower your spiritual vibration closer to
(35:25):
that state of darkness, that state of death, and thinking
about positive thoughts expands and increases your spiritual vibration into
the realm of life. So negativity is a low vibration
and positivity is a high vibration. You can also think
of it this way. If it's helpful. Um. The higher
(35:45):
your vibration, the more you are removed from the dense
physical world, and the more removed you are, the less
you are bogged down by the animalistic fears and the
dense stresses that come being a spirit in the material world.
As Sting would probably say, so instead of being a
(36:08):
spirit that's closely trapped and bogged down closer to that
lower vibration, closer to that state of darkness and death,
you're trying to rise above it. And you can even
look at this very practically when it comes to brain
wave activity that you know what you've heard me talk
about this before, that you know your brain can go
(36:30):
through four basic states of delta, theta, alpha, beta, and
those states are determined by the frequency by the vibration
at which the electricity is pulsing through your brain, and
at each type of frequency you feel you feel a
different way. If you want to learn more about that,
go to the Curiosity Shop at Joshua Pee Warren dot
com and read the section about the Tibetan emos. The
(36:52):
Tibetan emos and I am very enthusiastic about this because,
believe it or not, I am naturally an extremely pessimistic,
negative person. That's how I was born. I and I
learned these things about how to raise your vibration because
I wanted to overcome it and that does not come
naturally to me. And that is why I share with
(37:14):
all of you the things that I've learned. If it
can help me, then I'm hoping it can help you.
It's a choice. It's a hard one choice to overcome
a natural negative state, and you have to struggle every
day to stay optimistic, especially when you're bombarded constantly by
negative news in the media. I mean, why do we
(37:35):
ultimately feel negative? Well? Do It's because we know how
the story ends. We all get to die, and that's
enough to make you say, well, what the heck are
we doing all this for? Look, I don't know exactly.
I have my theories. I think it's a big classroom
we're all being taught, and I think school sucks. But
you've heard my theories. But I try to overcome my
(37:59):
logical line that says we're all gonna die, so what's
the point? And I try to redirect my thoughts on
enjoying the time I have while I'm here. It's a choice,
A mental training exercise. But if you can do it,
if you can do it, you'll be able to take
a deep breath and enjoy that ride before it ends.
(38:21):
Can you relax and enjoy the ride. We're gonna take
a break when we come back. A few more thoughts
on this and then some weird holiday stuff. I'm Joshua

(39:48):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast,
a m paranormal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren,
and I am recording this December one, and I've been
(40:08):
telling you about just how weird Christmas traditions are, so
I want to squeeze some of these in here before
the end of the show. And one of the great
things about being in my position is that I'm not
sitting here talking to you as an historical authority. This
is more like drunk history. I'm just sort of giving
(40:30):
you some of what I've recollected and some of what
I've looked up. I don't have to be one percent correct.
I can just inspire you to do your own research.
But so many of the modern day traditions that we have,
we're really based upon the ancient Catholic Church moving throughout
(40:51):
Europe and trying to convert Pagans over to Christianity. And
it's it's my understanding, and again I don't have the
info right in front of me. It's my understanding that
a lot of the pagan cultures in Europe used to
consider the evergreen tree sacred because because it was one
(41:12):
of the few things that remained full of life and
vibrants all year long, even through the harsh dead winter,
and so you can see why that that would be
a holy thing. And so to say they worshiped evergreen
trees might be going a bit far, but they definitely
(41:32):
helped them in high regard. And so, for example, there
was one of these Catholic saints who basically said, look, um,
I guess he was a priest at the time, I
don't remember, but anyway, but he basically said, like, look,
when you see a bunch of people who are more
or less worshiping a tree, you can cut that tree
down and tell them, hey, you all are wrong. You're
(41:54):
you're gonna go to hades or whatever, but you're not
gonna win over any hearts and minds that way. You're
better off to go up to that tree and consecrate
it and say this is a part of God's creation,
are you know, Jesus creation, etcetera. And so uh, then
you just they just sort of morph into your tradition,
and that's why you see that crossover so often. And
(42:17):
so of course we have this image of Santa Claus,
and not only is he based in large part on
the Catholic St Nicholas, but his the idea of St.
Nicholas is also combined with these old European concepts of
Father Christmas um sort of an old man with long
(42:41):
white hair who brings the snowy season with him. And
also the Dutch version of of St. Nicholas they called
him center Clause. And again we're talking about just an
old man with a long white beard to represent winter.
And also, you know how Catholics, some of these priests
they wear these big pointy hats called miters. So the
(43:06):
idea was that St. Nicholas would where some kind of
a miter, a big red miter, and that's why we
end up with this guy with a long white beard
and a big red pointy hat. And then of course
he lives. Uh Well, this tradition says that he, you know,
he was traveling around the northern parts, you know, up
(43:31):
there in the old European northern mountains where it was
very snowy and where they also believed it elves a lot,
you know, especially in these Scandinavian countries. And so that
mythology just kind of got morphed in because yes, he's
gonna come and bring presents, and he is a magical
(43:52):
uh spirit, and so he's got these other magical spirits
that work with him, and now the elves are involved,
and then all, well, okay, well how did he get around? Well,
what else lives up there? Rain deer? We got raindeer
up in big northern snowy places that and and so
it all just kind of becomes sort of an ad
hoc uh combination of of traditions. They get sort of
(44:17):
retold and retold, and you end up with this image
of this magical man with a long white beard. Father
Christmas has got the red pointy hap and he's got
elves helping him make the little treats for you, and
he flies around with the reindeer, and he comes into
your house, et cetera. But one thing that's kind of
surprising is that I was reading about some of the
(44:41):
unusual traditions that we have around the Christmas season, and
one of them, of course, has to do with kissing
under the mistletoe. And of course missiletoe is the common
name for oh Gosh, obligate him I parasitic plants in
(45:04):
the order of Santalis. I'm sure that meant a lot
to you, didn't This is from Wikipedia Anyway, here's what
was surprising. I was reading about why people kiss under mistletoe,
and it's really kind of dirty. Uh, this is a
(45:26):
family we want this to be a family friendly show.
So I'm not gonna get too detailed here, but it
basically says here the mistletoe is relevant to several cultures.
Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility,
(45:46):
with the seeds resembling this is where you can go
and look up the rest on your own, all right,
And apparently you know this goes there. We don't know
exactly how far it goes back, but it says the
Romans associated mistletoe with peace and understanding and hung it
(46:09):
over doorways to protect the household. In the Christian era,
mistletoe and the Western world became associated with Christmas as
a decoration under which lovers are expected to kiss, as
well as with protection from which is and demons. Huh
(46:29):
did you know that? Says? Missiletoe continued to be associated
with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by
the eighteenth century it had also become incorporated into Christmas
celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the
mistletoe is referred to as popular amongst servants in the
late eighteenth century England. So they say if if you
(46:54):
know you're if you approach somebody under the mistletoe and
you want to kiss them and they refuse to take
the kiss, it's bad luck for every buddy. Not a
very PC tradition, huh. But yeah, you can. You can
look more of that up on your own. But you know, again,
I don't want to spend too much time on this
stuff because yeah, right now and maybe Christmas time when
I'm recording this, but these podcasts are just gonna be
(47:17):
around forever and ever and ever, and so you never
know when a person is going to be listening. But
we've talked about a lot. I've talked about a lot
on this podcast regarding I don't know, the idea that
it's good to focus on positive things and it's good
to raise your positive energy, and holidays are supposed to
(47:39):
help us do that. And it reminds me of this
passage from my book Used the Force, a Jedi's Guide
to the Law of Attraction, page seventy five. Listen to this.
Your entire body is so much in sync with the
universe that it acts like a binary vessel, contracting when
things feel tense and relaxing when things feel good and peaceful.
(48:03):
There is an entire field devoted to this study. Anyway,
these kinds of reactions can even be observed in the
most basic life forms. I once wrote a rhyming illustrated
children's book called The Lonely Amiba. It included colorful characters,
characters like Larry of the Hairy Paramecium and Gina Euglina. Anyway,
but as I did research for this playful, microscopic landscape,
(48:27):
I realized something interesting about Amiba's. They are just organic
sacks without brains or nervous systems, and nonetheless they are
extremely reactive. They tense up and move away from water
with an incompatible temperature or salinity. They relax, expand and thrive,
(48:49):
and even actively hunt prey. And though our bodies are
much more complex than those of Amiba's, the same principles
applied to our automatic reactions. We also hints up or
relax immediately when faced with the particular scenario. It is
this innate, subconscious awareness of our surroundings that most quickly
(49:09):
taps into what is right or wrong, and that is why.
Throughout the Star Wars series, Jedis are asked to search
their feelings more than their minds. Okay, I'm gonna leave
it at that. This is what I mean by vibration.
Raising your vibration when you think about something, when you
think about a person, or a situation, or an opportunity, anything,
(49:34):
any idea, does it make you feel like you want
to contract and pull back or expand. That's it, at
the most basic level, that is what you want. You
want to go for things that make you feel like
you're expanding. That is what raising your vibration is all about.
(49:54):
And that is why we need a lot of positivity
in our lives right now to combat the darkness. And
so let me raise your vibration. I'm about to play
for you the good Fortune tone. Okay, you're ready. This
will bring you some good fortune. Take a deep breath,
if you can close your eyes, It's twenty seconds. Here
(50:15):
is the good Fortune Tom. That's it for this edition

It's good for you. It'll raise your vibration. What does
(01:39):
that actually mean? Well, it's a it's a good, legitimate question,
and we're going to dig into that and probably some
other weird things. Uh, just depending on how much time
I have, you know, sometimes I just start talking and
just I just see where it goes. But let's jump
into Amazing Happy Endings because I mentioned this recently on
(02:03):
one of my podcasts. This is a new book project
for me I am putting together in anthology. I want
your stories. I'm talking to you. Yes, you listening to me.
I want your story to be a part of this collection.
It's called Amazing Happy Endings, True Stories to make you smile.
(02:25):
And there are only four rules if you have a
story that you want to submit to be in this book.
Rule number one is your story must be true. Rule
number two, your story must be short, ideally no more
than a few paragraphs. Number three, your story must be amazing.
(02:47):
And number four, your story must have a happy ending.
And since I announced this, oh, let me tell you what,
the stories have just come pouring in. And I am
so excited. I'm so happy because if you submit a story,
and of course I have a team of people, some
(03:08):
editors and various people in addition to myself, who are
gonna read over everything and we're gonna figure out which
ones need to be kind of edited and whipped into
shape and then put into the book. If we pick
one of your stories, well then you get a free
copy of the book. And I'm thinking about maybe throwing
in some other cool, free little surprises for you as well.
(03:30):
You know me, I like to do that kind of thing.
But a portion of all cells when the book comes out,
we'll go to various charities, and it's all about helping
you feel good, helping all of us feel good. We
need that nowadays, don't we. Uh, If you want to
submit a story, good to Amazing Happy Endings dot com.
Amazing Happy Endings dot Com. But let me read to
(03:54):
you some of the stories that have come in so
far to give you an idea of what this book
is going to be like. All right, and then this
I again, I just picked two or three a handful
out of the Giants tech. So here is one from
a doctor, a doctor named Mitchell Max Dolnig, and he uh,
(04:21):
he is in Texas, and he's talking about the incident
that happened to him in He says, after seeing a
run of emergency room patients, I had gone back to
the call room and was in a deep, deep sleep.
Suddenly I literally jumped out of bed, yelling at myself
(04:43):
to run. Damn it, run man, move it. It was
my own self telling me to run like I never
had before. As I slipped by bare feet into my shoes,
I asked, run where my own voice answered, just start running,
move it. I almost started running barefoot, but I did
(05:04):
not know where I was going, Almost being pulled at
every corner, I ran through corridors and hallways and came
out in the e r. The receptionists exclaimed, Dr Dolnig,
there are no patients, and why are you here? She
likely saw my messed up hair and my disheveled appearance.
(05:26):
As I took three steps forward, I said aloud with determinism,
I don't know. And I kicked a metal door open,
which revealed the body of a man lying on the ground.
I called Code blue and we rushed the lifeless body
(05:47):
into trauma. He was flatline, essentially dead, but after a
round of cardiac drugs, intubation, and defibrillation, he complete lee
awoke seemingly unscathed. He had been experiencing chest pain and
decided to drive himself to the hospital, but collapsed trying
(06:10):
to make it in there. And it was unnoticed one
or two minutes later, his chances of recovery would have
been dismal. I had never kicked doors open in the
hospital or acted like that before or since, and I
don't know how that had occurred. To this day, the
gentleman had a complete recovery. Now, you see, folks, true short, amazing,
(06:44):
happy ending. This is. You know how nice it is
to get stories like this flooding in from real people
all over the world. I love it, I love it.
Thank you for that. Dr Mitchell, Max Dali. Um, I'm
gonna read you some more of these and uh, of
course you know all Paul's when when breaks come up.
But all right here, here's this one really made me smile. Okay,
(07:07):
this comes from Molly and Kasiden, and she is an
intuitive medium and she lives in Georgia now, but this
incident happened to her when she was living in California
back in n I'll tell you something about Molly Kasiden.
She when my my birthday, it was October, and of
(07:27):
course she's a big fan of the show, and she
gave me a wonderful gift. She recorded a private reading
and sent it to me and of course, on my birthday.
One of the things I wanted to do was get
away from media and just turn off my cell phone
because I'm always bombarded. But I saw that she sent
me that I go, I better watch this, and I
watched this video and she said some very strange things
(07:51):
that didn't make sense to her or me at the
time exactly, but I remembered them and before over the
next twenty four hours, it all made sense, and basically,
in a nutshell, I went to spend my birthday in
a big, fancy resort and casino, and she was picking
up on something that was directing me toward a certain
(08:14):
machine where I hit a jackpot and made a lot
of money. So that gives you a little insight into
Molly Ann Kesten. I'm sure she will be on this
program at some point in the future. But listened to
her story, she said the line wound around the huge
industrial building at least twice. As I lumbered towards the
(08:39):
incredibly fit, fresh and youthful five hundred or so competitors,
I stuck out as a fat, sore thumb. Although I
was only about twenty five, I seemed ancient in comparison
to the late teens and early twenty hopeful. It's all
vying to be part of this elite cast. Okay, so
she's auditioning here, she says. As we stood around wearing
(09:02):
labels with numbers on them, mine was. I observed these
willowy youngsters stretching, practicing dance moves, and sipping their bottle
bottles of designer water while I sweated in my fronty
jacket and slacks. I figured I'd be mucking around in
a mini mouse costume. Oh, I should also, I should mention, Okay,
(09:27):
this is an Anaheim, California. She's at disney Land. So like,
if we added this, and I'm sure we will, we'll
we'll point out, like this is happening at Disneyland. Otherwise
you're like, why is she gonna be in a mini mouse? Anyway,
she goes, I figured she's auditioning at Disneyland, she says.
I figured I'd be mucking around in a mini mouse costume.
(09:50):
But as I waited in line and overheard the experienced conversations,
I realized this was a bigger deal. We went before
a panel of judges and groups of twenty while they
loo to each of us and said, either you stay
or you go, and I had no clue what specifically
they were looking for, but I knew I was definitely
not going to be able to compete with these live
(10:11):
and lovely ladies. I weighed over three hundred pounds at
five ft tall, frumpy, sweaty, and obviously uncomfortable. And when
I stepped forward, the panel whispered to each other amongst giggles,
it's not a good signs. But then one of them said,
(10:32):
you stay. I wasn't sure if I was happy or
being tricked at that point. Over the next few days,
they triage the candidates, dismissing actors at each stage of
the auditions. By the third day, there were about one
hundred candidates left, and yes, I was one of them.
(10:53):
Prepared with snacks and dressed more appropriately for movement. I
felt positive about the upcoming portion, just laying our dancing abilities.
I had little formal training, but I was always rhythmic,
enabled to boogie. My confidence disintegrated as they outlined a
dance routine with difficult ballet moves and waltzing. I was
(11:14):
awkward and bumping into others, becoming the laughing stock of
the auditions. Okay, we're gonna take a break that this
is not sound like that's gonna have a happy ending, doesn't.
She thinks she's becoming the laughing stock at the auditions.
But there is a happy ending, and I'll tell you
that ending when we come back from this break. I
(11:36):
also want to emphasize something to you. I do all
kinds of interesting projects and I give away all kinds
of cool free stuff that I don't talk about on
this podcast. The only way you get to know about

(13:57):
back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and
Coast to Coast i AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Joshua pe 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
(14:21):
and I love these amazing, happy ending stories because often
you get to see synchronicity play out, and it reminds
you that there does seem to be some kind of
grand design here that we are all experiencing little by little,
(14:43):
bit by bit, glimpse by glimpse, and whether it's a
bad thing that's going to happen or a good thing
that's going to happen, it seems like there is a
design and you just never know which way it's going
to turn out. But maybe you can influence it, and
maybe you can you can shape it in your favor
(15:03):
a little bit. We'll talk more about that later, but yes,
Strange Coincidences is one of my favorite books. It's the
Ripley's Believe It or Not book that was published oh
back in the day. Let's see it looks like nineteen
ninety and on the front they have an illustration of
a pilgrim standing on a shore with the Native American
(15:24):
in front of him, and it says when the pilgrims
landed in six twenty, they were greeted by an Indian
who spoke English. And of course we recently had Thanksgiving,
and so I posted that on my social media and uh,
A lot of people had a lot of interesting thoughts
(15:45):
about that. But you know, it's like some people are like, well, duh,
everybody knew that, and then other people are like, is
this true? This That's how it goes. But let's get
back to some of these brand new, fresh stories that
nobody's ever heard submitted for my Amazing Happy Endings book project.
And again I hope you'll contribute. I want your story
(16:05):
if you go to Amazing Happy Endings dot com. Let's
get back to Molly's story. She's been auditioning here in
Disneyland and she's dancing, and she said that she's becoming
the laughing stock of the auditions as far as she
can tell. And then she goes on to say, the
moment came from my group of ten to perform the
(16:28):
tune from Sleeping Beauty, and I could barely remember, much
less execute the routine. The music began and I started
out strong. However, as the music swell to the more
difficult parts, I became lost and clumsy, and at that
point I just said, screw this, and I began doing
(16:50):
silly dance moves, disco jitterbug, the Charleston, the bump, the hitchhiker, etcetera.
I smiled brightly as I died a small death inside,
telling myself to just have fun. Who cares about the outcome?
As the music ended. Drenched humiliated and horrified at my
(17:16):
compulsive behavior, I scurried back to the side and sat
down on the floor, bursting into tears from embarrassment. Then
I heard a clap, then applause. Actors gathered around me,
telling me how fabulous, cute, and funny I was in
(17:36):
the middle of a sincere group hug. The panel deliberated
and then asked me up to the table first. Molly.
Someone said, that was the best audition we have ever seen.
Your energy, humor, and decision to let it all out
(17:57):
is why we are going to cast you as the
Fairy Godmother here at Disneyland. Congratulations. I got to be
the first Fairy Godmother in Disney history to mingle among
the guests in the park. I not only got to
(18:17):
work in the happiest place on Earth, I got to
have the happiest face on Earth. To this day, anytime
I am feeling unsure of myself, I remember being me
is always the right answer. Bibbity Bobby Boo did you
(18:39):
see that one coming. That's great, isn't it. Thank you, Molly,
you know it's it's so fun to read these stories. Alright,
how about this one? This comes from James Colonna. I'll
tell you what. He's another fan of the show. And
he also he's been listening for a long time, and
he lives in Pennsylvania, and he is a conductor and composer,
(19:01):
and he has had tremendous success using the wishing machines.
And you don't know about the wishing machines, just go
to the Curiosity shop on my website and you'll see
what I'm talking about. He's had tremendous success. So I
was really eager to see what his story was gonna be.
And here it is, he says. Uh. In nineteen I
was in college pursuing my music degree. I just completed
(19:23):
my enlistment in the U. S. Army and was now
struggling to pay my college tuition on the g I
bill and student loans. My parents went car shopping and
while at the dealers shop, they played a promotional game
to put for gold. Okay, my father, oh, to put,
I'm sorry, I said, and not put. I'm reading this
(19:44):
stuff fresh you know to put so you know like
you're you're putting like a mini golf. Okay, so to
put for goal p U T T. I guess it's so,
he says. My father sank the put five times, each
time earning an entry to win a new car. So
you get the Just you have success with the putting,
you get a chance of winning a car, so he said.
(20:06):
One afternoon, I received a call that my name was
drawn to win the car at a promotional event, and
my mother and I talked about what we would do
if I won the car. Well, we had two options,
keep the keep the car, or trade it back in
for cash value to help pay for my tuition and
that of my siblings. The night arrived and I, along
(20:29):
with my mother, attended the dinner at the fancy country club,
and before we sat down, I was standing on the
balcony watching the sunset. To my surprise, I saw two
very large angels on both sides of the sun. I
(20:50):
put my intention into the sunset, and a woman's voice
sweetly spoke to me. The voice quote she used the
key with teeth on both sides end quote. We sat
down for dinner and I was introduced to the other
(21:10):
two contestants. One was an elderly couple and the other
a couple in their thirties. Well, the moment arrived and
the three contestants were called outside. Next to the car.
It was a Dodge and trepid, and this pretty woman
walked out with the trade had three keys. The announcer began, quote,
all our contestants need to do is put the key
(21:31):
in the ignition and if it starts the car, they
wind quote. Well, the woman with the tray walked to
the elderly couple and they chose a key with no teeth.
Then she walked to the next couple and they chose
a key with teeth only halfway up one side of
the shift. And as they chose their keys, I stared
down at the key with teeth on both sides. This
as the key that remained, and I reached down for
(21:54):
that final key, and that's when the female voice in
my head said softly, you already won. And the same
order as we chose keys, we went to the car
to try to start the engine. The elderly couple nothing,
mid thirties couple nothing. Then I sat down and started
(22:16):
the car up. Yes, I won the car. We sold
the car back to the dealer a week later and
took the cash value to pay for my and my
siblings college tuition. I think I won because I never
thought of myself but what the money could do for
all of us. The universe is a friendly place that
(22:39):
wants me to be happy and successful. How do you
like that one, folks? Thank you? Jim Kalanna, Pennsylvania. Okay,
let me see if I can squeeze one more in
before this next break. This one's oh, this is see,
(23:01):
somebody's getting really paranormal like that one had angels and
this is this is a parent more paranormal one. This
comes from Daniel. I guess his last name was pronounced
mulino uh and he lives in Florida. He's a financial
advisor and this is something that happened to him in Washington,
d C. In n he says, and the fall of
(23:21):
ninety six, my wife and I were living in a
beautiful turn of the century log cabin and the suburbs
of Washington, d C. One night, she was out of town,
so it was the dog and myself defend for ourselves.
At bedtime, I let the pup out to take care
of his final business for the day. The house was
(23:42):
surrounded by acres of woods, and the pooch decided he
was going to stay outside for the night. After calling
for some time, I reluctantly went to bed. At around
two a m. I was awoken by a strange sound.
For my bed, I could see the old wooden front
(24:03):
door of the cabin slowly creak open, exactly like in
the old horror movies they would portray it so well,
and standing in the figure excuse me, standing in the
doorway was a female figure in a flowing white dress,
with head hung low. Time froze. I could not move
(24:27):
a muscle or speak a word, and after an intense effort,
I managed to croak out my wife's name, and this
got the world moving again. And a split second, the
figure flew from the door and into my room, and
there was a huge pounce on my bed, and there
(24:48):
was the dog on my bed. A ghost had brought
my pet home and opened the door for him. He
was as happy as could be. I was deeply shaken.
We moved out of that house a few months later,
but the event will forever be etched into my mind
and has led me on a life of paranormal research
(25:12):
and discovery true story. Thank you, Daniel. Maybe when we
come back, I'll read one more of these and then
I'm going to get into what does it mean? Why
is this important? Raising your vibration. I'm Joshua Pete Warren.

(26:22):

(26:57):
Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
Stay in Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua
Pete Warren, and this is the show where the unusual
becomes usual. And this is a reminder when you are
judging your life and the world, look outside your own door.
(27:22):
And see the world as it really is. Don't be
dominated by the fear mongering that surrounds us. That is
pure evil, because fear is always the path to the
dark side. Always. And I find it refreshing to read
some of these stories coming in that have an amazing,
(27:45):
happy ending, and they don't necessarily have to be paranormal.
And yet it almost seems like that when something amazing
happens in life, it just kind of seems like there
is something paranormal going on. You know, you're, you're, you're, you're,
you're watching that design, that strange organization materialized before your eyes.
(28:10):
So here is one more amazing, happy ending story. And
this comes from Pam Burt in Salem, Oregon, and she
has retired, and this happened in two thousand eighteen. She writes,
I was out in the yard doing a little light
yard work on a fall day. The house I lived
(28:30):
in at that time had a large deck under several
fur trees, so I was sweeping fur needles off the
deck and taking them around the end of the house
to a bin. I came back from dumping a load
of needles to the back of my house and I
saw my mother, who had died about eight years before,
(28:57):
sitting on my back deck at the patio table and
smiling at me. Okay, did you get that she sees
the spirit of her mother who died eight years ago?
She goes on to write, I was stunned, but in
control enough to stop and check myself. Was I overworked? No,
(29:20):
I just started overheated. No, it was a beautiful fall day.
But Mom just sat there, smiling at me, almost laughing. Really,
I said Mom, and started to move toward hers as
fast as I could, but she just slowly faded away
(29:40):
before I could reach her. The one thing that made
me realize I really saw. What I saw was that
she was holding a drink of something, a glass in
her hand. Now, when I moved into the house a
few months before, I had thrown out all my mismatched
drinking glasses and bought all new matching blue glasses, and
(30:05):
my mom's drink was not in one of those glasses.
She brought her own. So you see amazing happy endings.
It covers a wide range, and I'll read some more
of these from time to time as the project proceeds.
But I hope you'll submit a story, and if you
(30:28):
have a story, that's true, that's short, no more than
a few paragraphs. That's amazing, that has a happy ending.
Go to Amazing, Happy Endings dot com to submit your
story right now. I'm collecting stories right now, and I
understand this podcast and by the time you hear it,
it might be too late. But I'm recording this right now.
It's it's early December of two thousand twenty one. I
(30:48):
hope that you're able to to go ahead and participate.
And also, uh, we of all the stories we've gotten,
one guy said that he went to the website and
he typed story in and then something went wrong on
his computer or the website or whatever, and and and
he lost it. So I recommend when you write your
(31:10):
your story, you know, write it somewhere where you can
say it right it in whatever your word processor is,
or write it in an email and send it to
yourself or something like that, so that if you are
going to submit it, if something goes wrong and you
don't just lose your work. But Amazing Happy Endings dot
com or go to Joshua pe Warren dot com and
(31:32):
currently you will find a link at the top of
the homepage that will take you there and you'll see
all the instructions. I cannot wait till this is done
and this book comes out next year, and it's just
gonna be it's gonna be wonderful. We all need this.
And again, all of you who get your story selected,
you're gonna get a free book and probably some other
cool stuff from me. I think it's important for us
(31:56):
to to focus on these types of stories, but as
it helps us raise our vibration. And I got an
email from someone a few months ago. I've been meaning
to bring this up, and I forget to who it was,
but the person said, you know, I really want to
be a more spiritual person. And I read books and
(32:18):
I listened to these shows and everybody's talking about raising
your vibration, but I don't understand what that means. What
exactly does that mean to raise your vibration? And and
that's a very good, legitimate question. So I thought about it,
and here is what I came up with as the
best way to answer this. Yeah, I think of it
in terms of light. So light is an electro magnetic
(32:46):
radiation that's vibrating, that's pulsing. When you have no light,
you have the absence of light, you have darkness. When
you look out into outer space and it's dark, you're
looking at what William Shatner described as death. Okay, that's cold,
(33:08):
lifeless darkness out there. That's death, the absence of light,
no vibration. And it's interesting when you look at this
from a biblical perspective. Of course, the Bible starts out
with in the Book of Genesis, it says, and in
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and
(33:29):
the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of
God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
let there be light. And there was light. And God
saw the light and it was good. And God divided
(33:50):
the light from the darkness. Now, whether or not you
believe in the Bible, just about every religion and tradition
has some version of this concept that light is the
predecessor to life. The absence of vibration is it's just silence,
it's stillness. Light is a a pulsation, and a low vibration.
(34:17):
Light appears to our eyes as the color red. And
then if you increase the vibration or the pulsation a
little bit, it goes up to orange, and you increase
it a little more, and it goes to yellow, and
you increase it a little more, and it goes to
uh green, and then you increase it more and it
goes to blue and then indigo into violet. And in fact,
I have had some of these, uh you know, I've
(34:39):
done experiments with a parasitmatics two point oh where I'm
able to take a beam of light, whether it's a
laser or whatever, and shine it at a sensor and
that sensor will translate that color of light into a sound.
So if you move it from red and it sounds
like and then you go to orange, goes and you
(35:02):
go to yeller, and then you can if you if
you go through red, orange, jella, greene, he goes. You
hear that rise, Okay, that rise in vibration, and thinking
negative thoughts condense and lower your spiritual vibration closer to
(35:25):
that state of darkness, that state of death, and thinking
about positive thoughts expands and increases your spiritual vibration into
the realm of life. So negativity is a low vibration
and positivity is a high vibration. You can also think
of it this way. If it's helpful. Um. The higher
(35:45):
your vibration, the more you are removed from the dense
physical world, and the more removed you are, the less
you are bogged down by the animalistic fears and the
dense stresses that come being a spirit in the material world.
As Sting would probably say, so instead of being a
(36:08):
spirit that's closely trapped and bogged down closer to that
lower vibration, closer to that state of darkness and death,
you're trying to rise above it. And you can even
look at this very practically when it comes to brain
wave activity that you know what you've heard me talk
about this before, that you know your brain can go
(36:30):
through four basic states of delta, theta, alpha, beta, and
those states are determined by the frequency by the vibration
at which the electricity is pulsing through your brain, and
at each type of frequency you feel you feel a
different way. If you want to learn more about that,
go to the Curiosity Shop at Joshua Pee Warren dot
com and read the section about the Tibetan emos. The
(36:52):
Tibetan emos and I am very enthusiastic about this because,
believe it or not, I am naturally an extremely pessimistic,
negative person. That's how I was born. I and I
learned these things about how to raise your vibration because
I wanted to overcome it and that does not come
naturally to me. And that is why I share with
(37:14):
all of you the things that I've learned. If it
can help me, then I'm hoping it can help you.
It's a choice. It's a hard one choice to overcome
a natural negative state, and you have to struggle every
day to stay optimistic, especially when you're bombarded constantly by
negative news in the media. I mean, why do we
(37:35):
ultimately feel negative? Well? Do It's because we know how
the story ends. We all get to die, and that's
enough to make you say, well, what the heck are
we doing all this for? Look, I don't know exactly.
I have my theories. I think it's a big classroom
we're all being taught, and I think school sucks. But
you've heard my theories. But I try to overcome my
(37:59):
logical line that says we're all gonna die, so what's
the point? And I try to redirect my thoughts on
enjoying the time I have while I'm here. It's a choice,
A mental training exercise. But if you can do it,
if you can do it, you'll be able to take
a deep breath and enjoy that ride before it ends.
(38:21):
Can you relax and enjoy the ride. We're gonna take
a break when we come back. A few more thoughts
on this and then some weird holiday stuff. I'm Joshua

(39:48):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast,
a m paranormal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren,
and I am recording this December one, and I've been
(40:08):
telling you about just how weird Christmas traditions are, so
I want to squeeze some of these in here before
the end of the show. And one of the great
things about being in my position is that I'm not
sitting here talking to you as an historical authority. This
is more like drunk history. I'm just sort of giving
(40:30):
you some of what I've recollected and some of what
I've looked up. I don't have to be one percent correct.
I can just inspire you to do your own research.
But so many of the modern day traditions that we have,
we're really based upon the ancient Catholic Church moving throughout
(40:51):
Europe and trying to convert Pagans over to Christianity. And
it's it's my understanding, and again I don't have the
info right in front of me. It's my understanding that
a lot of the pagan cultures in Europe used to
consider the evergreen tree sacred because because it was one
(41:12):
of the few things that remained full of life and
vibrants all year long, even through the harsh dead winter,
and so you can see why that that would be
a holy thing. And so to say they worshiped evergreen
trees might be going a bit far, but they definitely
(41:32):
helped them in high regard. And so, for example, there
was one of these Catholic saints who basically said, look, um,
I guess he was a priest at the time, I
don't remember, but anyway, but he basically said, like, look,
when you see a bunch of people who are more
or less worshiping a tree, you can cut that tree
down and tell them, hey, you all are wrong. You're
(41:54):
you're gonna go to hades or whatever, but you're not
gonna win over any hearts and minds that way. You're
better off to go up to that tree and consecrate
it and say this is a part of God's creation,
are you know, Jesus creation, etcetera. And so uh, then
you just they just sort of morph into your tradition,
and that's why you see that crossover so often. And
(42:17):
so of course we have this image of Santa Claus,
and not only is he based in large part on
the Catholic St Nicholas, but his the idea of St.
Nicholas is also combined with these old European concepts of
Father Christmas um sort of an old man with long
(42:41):
white hair who brings the snowy season with him. And
also the Dutch version of of St. Nicholas they called
him center Clause. And again we're talking about just an
old man with a long white beard to represent winter.
And also, you know how Catholics, some of these priests
they wear these big pointy hats called miters. So the
(43:06):
idea was that St. Nicholas would where some kind of
a miter, a big red miter, and that's why we
end up with this guy with a long white beard
and a big red pointy hat. And then of course
he lives. Uh Well, this tradition says that he, you know,
he was traveling around the northern parts, you know, up
(43:31):
there in the old European northern mountains where it was
very snowy and where they also believed it elves a lot,
you know, especially in these Scandinavian countries. And so that
mythology just kind of got morphed in because yes, he's
gonna come and bring presents, and he is a magical
(43:52):
uh spirit, and so he's got these other magical spirits
that work with him, and now the elves are involved,
and then all, well, okay, well how did he get around? Well,
what else lives up there? Rain deer? We got raindeer
up in big northern snowy places that and and so
it all just kind of becomes sort of an ad
hoc uh combination of of traditions. They get sort of
(44:17):
retold and retold, and you end up with this image
of this magical man with a long white beard. Father
Christmas has got the red pointy hap and he's got
elves helping him make the little treats for you, and
he flies around with the reindeer, and he comes into
your house, et cetera. But one thing that's kind of
surprising is that I was reading about some of the
(44:41):
unusual traditions that we have around the Christmas season, and
one of them, of course, has to do with kissing
under the mistletoe. And of course missiletoe is the common
name for oh Gosh, obligate him I parasitic plants in
(45:04):
the order of Santalis. I'm sure that meant a lot
to you, didn't This is from Wikipedia Anyway, here's what
was surprising. I was reading about why people kiss under mistletoe,
and it's really kind of dirty. Uh, this is a
(45:26):
family we want this to be a family friendly show.
So I'm not gonna get too detailed here, but it
basically says here the mistletoe is relevant to several cultures.
Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility,
(45:46):
with the seeds resembling this is where you can go
and look up the rest on your own, all right,
And apparently you know this goes there. We don't know
exactly how far it goes back, but it says the
Romans associated mistletoe with peace and understanding and hung it
(46:09):
over doorways to protect the household. In the Christian era,
mistletoe and the Western world became associated with Christmas as
a decoration under which lovers are expected to kiss, as
well as with protection from which is and demons. Huh
(46:29):
did you know that? Says? Missiletoe continued to be associated
with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by
the eighteenth century it had also become incorporated into Christmas
celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the
mistletoe is referred to as popular amongst servants in the
late eighteenth century England. So they say if if you
(46:54):
know you're if you approach somebody under the mistletoe and
you want to kiss them and they refuse to take
the kiss, it's bad luck for every buddy. Not a
very PC tradition, huh. But yeah, you can. You can
look more of that up on your own. But you know, again,
I don't want to spend too much time on this
stuff because yeah, right now and maybe Christmas time when
I'm recording this, but these podcasts are just gonna be
(47:17):
around forever and ever and ever, and so you never
know when a person is going to be listening. But
we've talked about a lot. I've talked about a lot
on this podcast regarding I don't know, the idea that
it's good to focus on positive things and it's good
to raise your positive energy, and holidays are supposed to
(47:39):
help us do that. And it reminds me of this
passage from my book Used the Force, a Jedi's Guide
to the Law of Attraction, page seventy five. Listen to this.
Your entire body is so much in sync with the
universe that it acts like a binary vessel, contracting when
things feel tense and relaxing when things feel good and peaceful.
(48:03):
There is an entire field devoted to this study. Anyway,
these kinds of reactions can even be observed in the
most basic life forms. I once wrote a rhyming illustrated
children's book called The Lonely Amiba. It included colorful characters,
characters like Larry of the Hairy Paramecium and Gina Euglina. Anyway,
but as I did research for this playful, microscopic landscape,
(48:27):
I realized something interesting about Amiba's. They are just organic
sacks without brains or nervous systems, and nonetheless they are
extremely reactive. They tense up and move away from water
with an incompatible temperature or salinity. They relax, expand and thrive,
(48:49):
and even actively hunt prey. And though our bodies are
much more complex than those of Amiba's, the same principles
applied to our automatic reactions. We also hints up or
relax immediately when faced with the particular scenario. It is
this innate, subconscious awareness of our surroundings that most quickly
(49:09):
taps into what is right or wrong, and that is why.
Throughout the Star Wars series, Jedis are asked to search
their feelings more than their minds. Okay, I'm gonna leave
it at that. This is what I mean by vibration.
Raising your vibration when you think about something, when you
think about a person, or a situation, or an opportunity, anything,
(49:34):
any idea, does it make you feel like you want
to contract and pull back or expand. That's it, at
the most basic level, that is what you want. You
want to go for things that make you feel like
you're expanding. That is what raising your vibration is all about.
(49:54):
And that is why we need a lot of positivity
in our lives right now to combat the darkness. And
so let me raise your vibration. I'm about to play
for you the good Fortune tone. Okay, you're ready. This
will bring you some good fortune. Take a deep breath,
if you can close your eyes, It's twenty seconds. Here
(50:15):
