Hello, you're here with T Matthew
and we are the Bing Zang Zoom Podcast.

2
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.160
Can you dig it? So today's
episode is going to be about something

3
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:29.559
that we have all experienced unless you're
a baby. Um, and it is

4
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:38.439
intuition. Right, So if you're
a fan of astrology, UM, let's

5
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.759
kind of get into what the definitions
are here so people are clear if you're

6
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.759
if you're a woman in her twenties, Yeah, that's such a thing.

7
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.039
That's such a thing right now,
Like I don't I don't know. I

8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.880
mean like astrology has always been around, but like that's such a thing for

9
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.759
young girls right now to be into
astrology. That is accurate. But so

10
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:14.599
astrology is by definition it's the type
of divination that it involves the forecasting of

11
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.480
earthly and human events through the observation
and interpretation of the fixed stars, the

12
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.879
Sun, the moon, and the
planets. Another way you can look at

13
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.640
astrology is the study of movements and
relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having

14
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.599
an influence on human affairs and the
natural world. Right, So, if

15
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.519
things have been going haywire for you
as a late and there's really no reason

16
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.599
why, and you're looking for some
type of excuse, some reason to something

17
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.519
to help explain all the things that
have been going haywire. Well, it

18
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:02.319
could be that Mercury is in retrograde
now. In the astrology, Mercury is

19
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:09.800
known as the planet of communication.
According to ABC news dot Com, Mercury

20
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.199
is known as the planet of communication, intelligence, media, and technology in

21
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:22.000
our day to day live So when
this planet goes into retrograde, some believe

22
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.080
it has major effects on their routine, like a late train messing up a

23
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.280
schedule, or an email bouncing back
for no reason. So have any of

24
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.919
those things happened to you lately,
Matthew, anything that seem to That's all

25
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.840
my life. My life is never
straightforward. So I mean, like I

26
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.719
can tell you, you know,
all kinds of things. I just I'm

27
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.199
very much a person that has bad
luck. But I want to ask before

28
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.840
we go on too far into this, when we're talking about astrology and everything,

29
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.800
do you believe in astrology? Do
you think that that our signs do

30
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.439
got part of our personalities and things
like that. To a degree, I

31
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.479
do believe it. I'm just a
very late loom or as it as it

32
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.560
were, but I do believe in
it. I don't believe that these things

33
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.120
are set in stone, though,
I think that there's plenty that you can

34
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:25.800
do to change them and to you
know, adapt, as we human beings

35
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:34.719
do so very well. Yeah,
personally, I think that I'm not necessarily

36
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.280
like, oh, it's a spiritual
thing and at this time of year when

37
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.319
mercuries and retrograde, it affects us
or things like that. But what I

38
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.520
do believe is that being born during
a certain time can affect your personality,

39
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.960
whether it be gravitational pulls on the
earth, or whether it be things like,

40
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.919
oh, if you're born in winter, the first season that you experience

41
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.560
is cold and things are dead and
things like that around you, opposed to

42
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.759
if you're born in summer, where
when it's hot and there are you know,

43
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.319
flowers. I think the first things
that you experience in the world,

44
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.759
maybe gravitational polls due to stars and
stuff like that, can affect your personality

45
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.759
to a certain degree. But I
don't really believe in the oh, well

46
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.040
this time of year you have bad
luck, or this month is a good

47
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.079
month for you to invest, and
things like that. That doesn't really do

48
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.600
much for me. Yeah, I
can see a point there. So basically,

49
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.720
people have their frame of reference,
they have things that they go through

50
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:38.360
and you know it might be different
from another person. And where that's concerned,

51
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:45.360
it is perfectly understandable. You know, the science behind it makes sense.

52
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.399
You can say, hey, look
this person. When if we are

53
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:56.279
kept away from the sun for extended
periods of time, for example, it

54
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.439
does things to us. We get
stick more often, you know. So

55
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:09.160
there's certain things that our bodies just
naturally require, and if we don't have

56
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.920
those things, or we have too
little of them, then we turn out

57
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.079
a certain way, and vice versa. We have plenty of them, then

58
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.399
you know, there's an abundance.
It's just like I have and have not

59
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.920
right, right, you have an
abundance of the things that you need to

60
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:31.759
survive or you don't, right,
and so that can have a huge impact

61
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:39.920
on a person's life as well.
Now getting into something that you know is

62
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.759
along these lines, it's intuition,
right. So again, via definition,

63
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.879
intuition is the ability to understand something
immediately without the need for conscious reasoning.

64
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.560
Right. Let's say that you are
walking somewhere and you're like, hmmm,

65
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.519
I don't think that I don't think
that this is the scene that I need

66
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.439
to be in right now, or
I don't think that this is the area

67
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:13.600
I need to be in right now. Something's fishy here, or you know,

68
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.560
you're you're you have some insight into
it. There is some understanding that

69
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.759
hey, one plus one equals two. There's thirty dudes standing on a corner

70
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:32.040
with you know, bad motives over
and all over their faces. I probably

71
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.519
shouldn't be here. Let me walk
away from this situation. Do you believe

72
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:41.639
in intuition? Is that something that? Yeah, I mean I don't think

73
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.360
that. I think people do,
you know, argue intuitions a thing?

74
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.920
But I don't really see how any
argument against intuition can work, because really,

75
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.160
what intuition is, if we look
at it logically, is like you

76
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.000
said, it's a subconscious realization about
something right, which is all based on

77
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:06.680
our previous experiences. If you grew
up in a tough neighborhood, you're more

78
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:13.120
keen to realize that something's not right
without necessarily having to point out this is

79
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.759
wrong, that's wrong, that's wrong. You just see somebody and you're like,

80
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.800
I get a funny feeling from them. Then if you want to break

81
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.680
it down and you're like, oh, they got their hands in their pocket.

82
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.720
It could be a knife, they're
following a little too close to me,

83
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:28.759
whatever, whatever. But your initial
instinct, your initial intuition was something

84
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.240
was wrong before you even consciously got
to think about it, right, And

85
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.160
so I think all of us have
different instincts. All of us have different

86
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.439
intuitions based on where we grew up, based on the things that we've experienced

87
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.000
in our lives, which is why
people talk about woman's intuition. Well,

88
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.759
for the most part, women have
to be more on guard in their lives

89
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.879
than men do. So yeah,
it makes sense that women have better intuition

90
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.480
than men on the average. Right, So, yeah, I mean I

91
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.519
think that intuition is very much a
thing. But I think certain people have

92
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.879
better, certain people have different certain
people have worse, certain people have all

93
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.040
of it. You know, it
depends on how you grow up, right,

94
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.839
going back to that frame of reference, and then speaking of instincts,

95
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:20.800
so you have you know, you
have intuition, which is not a an

96
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.800
immediate reaction. It has some type
of thoughts, some type of h you

97
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.319
know, background to it um and
then you have the instinct. And the

98
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.519
instinct can be you know, something
falls right now, and then you immediately

99
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.320
just you just instinctively go to catch
it, or you instinctively do something that

100
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.799
you know saves a life without a
thought, you just jump into it,

101
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:54.519
right. And so when you have
intuition, intuition a lot of times it

102
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.840
seems like it's what gets you out
of trouble, right, it's like,

103
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.320
uh, this is right, let
me back away. Instinct sometimes can get

104
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:09.960
you into shoble. It can.
It can instinct though, Like again,

105
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.080
I still feel like it follows that
same format. Like you said, something

106
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.879
falls, you instinctively go to grab
it. Why because in the past you've

107
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.679
seen things fallen break. Right.
If something doesn't fall in break, if

108
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.360
you've never seen anything fallen break before, you're not going to instinctively go to

109
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.919
grab it because you're like, oh, what does it matter. But when

110
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.759
you've seen things fallen break, you
know oh that's gonna break, you instinctively

111
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.320
go to grab it. So I
still feel like even instincts are based on

112
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.159
previous knowledge that's been programmed into us. There is one aspect right of astrology,

113
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:48.919
that more than others, kind of
makes me believe in it and feel

114
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.000
as though that there's some truth to
it, okay, And that is as

115
00:09:52.000 --> 00:10:00.879
it pertains to the moon. Right. So we are human beings. We're

116
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:07.759
made mostly of water, and we
know that the moon affects water has a

117
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.600
pole, you know, the moon
comes up and the sea level rises,

118
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.279
right. We know that there's a
low tide, high tide. And so

119
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:26.600
when we have something like a full
moon, and we have this correlation that,

120
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.440
oh, people go crazy and as
a full moon, and and this

121
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:37.200
is that I feel like there is
some thing that is not necessarily pinpointed,

122
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:45.679
but something that happens to us that
when there's a full moon that people are

123
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.720
affected by. I definitely see what
you're saying there, and I can't argue

124
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.879
with that. Like, let me
just be straight up. I'm like,

125
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.720
I have no idea that that makes
Like I was talking about earlier gravitational pools

126
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.799
and stuff like that, that's the
moon right there, right, So like

127
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.440
I'm not necessarily saying I agree with
that or I don't. I'm saying I

128
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.080
don't have any evidence to disprove it. But what I will say though,

129
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.360
is going back to like the history
of the full moon, right, I

130
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.440
Mean we talk about you know,
werewolves and things like that, you know,

131
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.399
but really what it is is that
during the full moon, you can

132
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.440
see the most. So when would
armies want to invade other villages and stuff

133
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.480
when they could see to go in
and attack places? Right, Oh,

134
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.240
they're still going to be sleeping,
but we can see because the moon's up

135
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.679
right. You know, if you're
going to mug somebody, Yeah, you

136
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.240
want it to be dark, but
you also need to see if you're going

137
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.000
to try to run away. Right, So if it's in a place where

138
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.919
there's no street lights but the moon
is shining, perfect example, right,

139
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.799
and then you know there's also a
false sense of security at the same time,

140
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.679
Oh, I could do what I
want because it's brighter out even though

141
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.320
it's night. Right, So there's
these double size did knife there where it's

142
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.320
like more people are willing to take
risks, but also more bad people are

143
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.960
doing things, you know, during
the full moon. So I think there's

144
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:16.960
also a historical sort of natural predatory
element that happens during the during the full

145
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.399
moon as well that makes people act
differently, and so play devil's advocate for

146
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.879
a second. Right, Let's say
that you do believe in astrology and you're

147
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.759
someone who follows it to a tea. You know, let's say that a

148
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.120
person is born in a certain month, born a certain time, and they

149
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:46.720
have certain things that, according to
astrological logic, says that, hey,

150
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.080
you're predisposed to being this person or
acting a certain way or having trouble with

151
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.919
this, so that how do you
then move forward with these right things?

152
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.120
Well, astrology has kind of become
almost a pseudo religion to a lot of

153
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.039
people, where you know, they're
like, you know, the Bible says

154
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.320
that I have to act this way
or that way or this way. Oh

155
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.200
well, the stars right now,
my horoscope says I'm acting this way,

156
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.759
that way, or this way,
and the problem quickly becomes in the same

157
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.720
way that when you're talking about religion
where it's free will versus fate and things

158
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.039
like that, you know God's plan
and you know though these types of things

159
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:28.080
is it's a very similar thing with
astrology if you are the type of person

160
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.519
that says, oh, well,
right now, you know, I'm a

161
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.919
libra, so that's just the way
I'm not a libra, but you know,

162
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.720
hypothetically, right, I'm a libra, so that's the way I act.

163
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.480
Or oh well, mercuries and retrograde, so I'm automatically allowed to be

164
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.159
a jerk because everything's screw it up. Right. When you start to rely

165
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.120
on these things to make excuses for
you, that's when it becomes a problem.

166
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.559
But if you if you are a
person where you're like, yeah,

167
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.919
I understand that I'm a cancer and
cancers are emotional. I understand that that's

168
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.440
a problem that I have, and
I look at that and try to figure

169
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.120
out ways around it. Great.
But if you're like, well, I'm

170
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.120
a cancer and I'm emotional, so
I get to be a jerk all the

171
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.679
time and just blame it on the
fact that I'm a water signing I'm emotional,

172
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.840
right, then that's a bit of
a problem. Yeah, yeah,

173
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.759
i'd say. You know, like
I said before, I feel as though

174
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:28.360
when people take control of the situation
and say and just use the astrology as

175
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.679
a guide like it's supposed to be, like it's and and same thing with

176
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.840
the Bible, use it as a
guy. So many times people will say

177
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.440
or whatever it is, whatever religion
you know that you that you practice and

178
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.120
so on, use it as a
guy. You know, sometimes people take

179
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.919
things way too literally, or they
turn it into something that it isn't necessarily

180
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.679
meant to be, and or they
justify certain things. It's been people who

181
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.159
have justified murder based upon what they
read and the Bible and so on,

182
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.480
so the Crusades and whatnot. Yeah, precisely. So at the end of

183
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.480
the day, if you take it
as a guide and you say it to

184
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:15.399
yourself, well, hey, um, I know I am a libra or

185
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.639
I'm a virtigal or this is that
because I don't want libers to get mad

186
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.080
at us. Example is quite a
bad But that's just the first one that

187
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.840
pumped into my head. I think
you did anything. It's a random choice.

188
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.519
Sorry, sorry, But if we
say, hey, I'm predisposed to

189
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.799
this, but I can make changes
to make it better for myself, to

190
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.080
make life better for myself, then
we're using that as a guide and ultimately

191
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.639
we're going with the flow. If
mercury is in retrograde, that's the best

192
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.919
thing to do, according to the
astrology, is to go with the flow,

193
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.759
because otherwise you drive yourself crazy.
Sure. I mean it's a similar

194
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.440
thing to like looking at your genetics
to a certain extent, right where you're

195
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.720
like, oh, I have I'm
naturally I have a ability to have high

196
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.480
blood pressure or whatever because of my
family roots where you don't just go,

197
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.960
well, I'm gonna have high blood
pressure. That's just the way it is.

198
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.600
No, you say, oh,
okay, I'm naturally disposed to that,

199
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.840
so let me try to be careful
with high sodium foods or whatever.

200
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.159
Right. But then at the same
time, you're like, you can have

201
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.039
your teat mills where you have your
high sodium foods or whatever. Like you

202
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.919
said, that's a guide on this
is something that could happen. So these

203
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.080
are the precautions I need to take, not just well, I'm gonna have

204
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.279
high blood pressure, so fuck it, I'm gonna eat whatever I want and

205
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.279
just and when I have high blood
pressure, I say that's because I'm naturally

206
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:48.080
predisposed to it, like my parents. You know whatever. Yeah, that's

207
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.240
not enough. Right, Well,
that's pretty much to Rundown. I feel

208
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.559
like we got to it. Got
to it quick. Gets you some air,

209
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.240
so I know what's side and there. What's the weather looking like.

210
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.839
It's it's not too bad. It's
just very very humid because it's been raining.

211
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.319
And then today's like the first day
it's not raining, so it's just

212
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:15.440
like crazy humid out but it's it's
fine. Well, you know why,

213
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:33.119
it's raining right because this has been
another edition of the Being Zing Zoom podcast.

214
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.359
We'll see you next time. Bay
well,
