I think I do so, yes, yes, I got 88 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.560 you gotta pull it up all right, that's really find 89 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.560 interesting because you know, go by a couple of different names. Crowley, 90 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.480 I think is even like reused it, rebranded it or whatever. 91 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.759 I'm not seeing it down below? 92 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.920 Is that? Let me try? Oh you know what, maybe 93 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.800 I never you know what, I never put it as 94 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.000 a chef's screen. Fuck my bad. I just pulled up 95 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.800 the pulled out. There we go. All right, apologize, apologize 96 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.680 with us? All right, So here we go. This is 97 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.439 a rare Greco Egyptian sig. You'll uh, I probably screwed 98 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.399 this up Chernubis or Nubis c h n O U 99 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:34.480 b I s hum. It's an antique amulet. You'll see 100 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.720 a coiled serpent with a lion's head crowned by six 101 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.360 or seven sun rays. Many pieces also carry a compact 102 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.199 which I'll show it later where it's like on the 103 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.920 reverse side. It's kind of like a smaller condensed version. 104 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.439 I guess if you don't have us big enough piece 105 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.680 or wasn't that elaborate where it has three S shaped 106 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.560 strokes over a horizontal line, and that is known by 107 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:04.360 curators as the line of Shunoubis. Shnubus appears on Greco 108 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.560 Roman magical gemstones, often green Jasper or Carnelian from about 109 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.720 the second to third century CE, in areas stretching across 110 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:19.360 Roman Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean. Museums. Again, this is 111 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.839 coming from museums all dated examples from this period second 112 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.399 to third century Carnelian at the Met and there's multiple 113 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:32.439 late Roman pieces at the British Museum. A learned ancient 114 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.399 tradition was attributed to the legendary astrologer and king and 115 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.040 the Chespos, and he even prescribes the engraving as a 116 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:47.000 radiant serpent on green jasper for stomach and esophagal protection. 117 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.759 So he would prescribe, like you know, this schedule for 118 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.600 that where it's been found and seen. Archaeology has turned 119 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.639 up Snubis gems and related pieces from Egypt to a 120 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.079 event and further uh a published amult from Deltaur in 121 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.360 Israel puts it in this syria, the Cero Palestinian record. 122 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.720 There's also museum collections in London, Cabridge, Boston, Budapest and 123 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:18.600 and Arbor. What it meant, you know, anciently scholars reach 124 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.879 Nubis or however you say his name, as a syncretic 125 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.600 like solar hearing, healing power, the lion solar force fused 126 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.959 with the serpent, which is was looked at as protective 127 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.920 or and Agatha diamond. If I'm saying that right, the 128 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.680 name itself likely influenced the Egyptian creator. This is what 129 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.879 they think that it influenced the Egyptian creator god um 130 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.639 k h n u M the imagery. The imagery is 131 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.240 frequently ringed by stars and crescents and paired with the 132 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.800 healing deities sometimes you know headless as boys over here 133 00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:01.279 as Scluppius and Hygia, underlying medical protection and function. Some 134 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.160 of the inscriptions often carry medical names and variants of junos. However, 135 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.399 it's written, and again what people did with it was 136 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.519 ancient writers and that and exhibitions notes explained that these 137 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.319 were worn on the body, ideally near the stomach. There's 138 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.079 even something else I did a few weeks ago. They 139 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.879 were putting stuff on the stomach and it was set 140 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:30.399 in rings of lockets. Many pieces explicitly target stomach and 141 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:36.200 sock sophagus pains. Some amulets even spell this out with 142 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.879 digestive formulas and palodromic spells around the image. That's interesting 143 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.320 to do it in palodrome and again, sigils a lot 144 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.559 of times would be green jasper as a classic, but 145 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.519 Carnelian rock, crystal or hematite sometimes and it would be 146 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.639 carved into that again a line or the serpent with 147 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.000 six or seven rays, often a star and a crescent 148 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.200 in the field. And and I will show this picture. 149 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:06.279 This is what Sometimes it looked like one look like this. 150 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.840 Sometimes the three s's above the line, well look like that. 151 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.039 But uh yeah, that's that's all I got on that one. 152 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:24.320 That is really interesting. So stomach and esophagus, and it 153 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.240 kind of looks like an esophagus as well. Right, So 154 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.600 if you go back to the other one, if you 155 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.440 imagine that tube, yeah, the esophagus coming out to the mouth, 156 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.279 and you see the stomach as well. 157 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.159 Small intestines, bigger loop in a small loop. 158 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.200 Right, So the medical applications are interesting to me. So 159 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.639 a lot of medical magic was completely lost by the 160 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.440 first century, and so these ambulets would be prescribed by 161 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.879 a doctor. Right, that's kind of a different way of 162 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.039 seeing medicine if you think about it. Here you go 163 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.360 just wear this ambulant and it's going to heal your 164 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:10.320 your stomach and your esophageal problems. And I don't know. 165 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.200 I mean, in my work, I won't knock until I 166 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.320 try it, you know. But that's an interesting that's an 167 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.480 interesting theory of how to do magic and what it's 168 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.399 related to. But you see the figure eight down below, 169 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.759 I think that's very reminiscent of the Satanic Cross. So 170 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.799 the Satanic Cross is like the two and then you've 171 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:36.000 got the figure eight. 172 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.039 At the bottom. It is interesting. 173 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.679 But man, the Chanubis comes up over and over and 174 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:49.200 over again. People are even having sightings of this creature today, 175 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.519 like coming through their ceiling and stuff like this is 176 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:59.960 actually very common. So yeah, and it's associated with the 177 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.879 axis as well. It's funny that they didn't mention that 178 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.840 in the breakdown there. You know, it's it's the lion 179 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.759 and the snake is sort of like that Braxis symbol 180 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:14.320 as well, and then you add the the rooster symbolism 181 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:19.799 as well, and you've got the snakes for the tails. 182 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:28.240 It's Ericthonium. So Ericthonius was the first king of Athens, 183 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.559 right first king of Athens, and he had snakes tails 184 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:38.200 for legs. And it was a weird combination of Athena 185 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:43.679 and Hyphestus that created Ericthonius and Athena just said I'm 186 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.120 going to take care of this weird little creature and 187 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.279 then raised it to be the first king of Athens. 188 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:55.320 Because Athena was a lot like the spiritus loci for Athens, 189 00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:01.000 like Athena Athens, that's sort of her territory, and it 190 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.039 goes back to the founding mythology of Athens. And so 191 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.240 you've kind of got this Ericthonian thing going on with 192 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.200 these serpent legs. And again, the lion is kind of 193 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.679 like the king, so it's the king and the serpent 194 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:19.480 legs even repeated into ancient Greek mythology. So I love 195 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.600 that there's just so many applications and people don't even 196 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:23.679 see how many there are. 197 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.679 You know, Yeah, I thought it was because like again, 198 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.399 I mean, I've seen it called so many different names before, 199 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.759 and it was just a different way of looking at it. 200 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.039 You know, if I would have looked up at Practis, 201 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:40.440 I might have gotten a different story. Right, all right, right, 202 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.799 I want to move on to the oak oak. 203 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:48.639 So this is what I'm brand. I got oak leaves, oak, 204 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.480 clusters of acorns. The oak tree has been sacred to 205 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:58.000 numerous deities across the various European mythologies. In ancient Greece, 206 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.200 it was sacred tree of Zeus, the king of the gods, 207 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.159 and in ancient Rome it was associated with Jupiter, the 208 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.480 supreme deity. The Celts revered the oak as the holy 209 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.519 tree of Daghda, one of their highest gods, and the Druids, 210 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.720 who are often priests and philosophers, considered the oak a 211 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.279 symbol of their connection to the divine, with the word 212 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:23.720 druid possibly deriving from a celt term meaning however, knowhere 213 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.799 of the oak tree. In Norse mythology, the oak was 214 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.720 sacred to Thor, the god of thunder and war, reflecting 215 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.720 its association with the power and lightning. Summarily, in Slavic mythology, 216 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.799 the oak was linked to Penn, the thunder god, and 217 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:43.000 in Baltic traditions it was considered the sacred tree of 218 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.519 the thunder god, who used thunder to combat evil spirits. 219 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.240 But again, it's like this thunder over and over again, 220 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.600 having to do with the oak, having to do with majesty, 221 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.840 having to do it like the head god. This widespread 222 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.960 reverence for the oak is a divine symbol is a 223 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.440 further underscored by its association with the world tree in 224 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.559 some traditions, where the deep roots and towering branches seen 225 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.360 as connecting the underworld to the living world and the heavens. 226 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:15.120 And you see oak tree clusters in the army still 227 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.240 they have, you know, oak tree as one of the 228 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.519 symbols that are common to the ribbons, right, and so 229 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:29.200 you've got oak tree clusters for different I believe it's units. 230 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.519 So the unit patches will have oak tree clusters and 231 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:38.120 everything else very much associated with class regalia. So you've 232 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.919 got Class A bobbles that have the oak leaf on 233 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.799 it and everything else, but they're still using the symbol, 234 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:48.039 you know, I mean, and all of this military history, 235 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.399 you've got so many different symbols that go straight back 236 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:56.120 to ancient Greece, one of which being the Phrygian cap. 237 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.879 So Phrygia was supposed to be over in Thrace and 238 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.559 and Thrace is supposed to be even older than the Egyptians, 239 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.720 and they're still using the cap on the seal of 240 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.879 the army. So all of these symbols that we see 241 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.799 being used today by the Americans in their you know, 242 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.799 military pursuits go straight back to Thrace, like five thousand 243 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:23.519 years of history. So that's really interesting to be what 244 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.000 do you think. 245 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.799 Nick, Yeah, Uh, honestly, I didn't know much about that 246 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.639 whole thing with the oaks, But I was actually thinking 247 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:36.840 right now, how many signs I'm actually was running it 248 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.320 through chutch Gipt, how many maps and like signs. I 249 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:45.000 have noticed that maps flags always have like these old 250 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.559 you know, fucking these oak leaves on them like that 251 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.799 is common actually, and I never really thought of it, 252 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.240 like I don't. 253 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.320 Well, if you want to get to know the the 254 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.759 highest gods in these pantheons, get to know the oak tree, 255 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.759 because there's somehow an association or a communication that goes 256 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:13.120 on between the plants, animals, and symbols sacred to these 257 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.240 gods and the gods themselves. So being around them, looking 258 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.720 for signs using your intuition, trying to talk with the tree, 259 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.919 trying to get in touch with that, it's a good 260 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:28.399 way of going about a better understanding of these deeper 261 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.720 esoteric meanings. And so you know that's what the druids 262 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.559 would do, right, So the high priests would hang out 263 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.720 around these oak trees. You've also got the parasite that 264 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.600 grows up in these trees being sacred as well. So 265 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.559 that's the Oh, help me out, what's it called. It's 266 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.759 got a little white berries and it's a little plant 267 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.399 that you hang from the ceilings and then he kiss 268 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.480 under it. Miss. 269 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.240 You know, I was even thinking too with the acorns. 270 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.639 It's very much reminds me a lot of the eyeball. 271 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.799 I mean, of course I'm going to go back to 272 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.079 the eyeball, but you know the way it's like it 273 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.799 even has a little bump on the end and at 274 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.079 that back, I mean, your optic nerve does bend back 275 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:09.960 like that and goes into your head. So I mean 276 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.720 it's very much I mean your eyeball. Really, it is 277 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.079 very much like an ache one in sense. 278 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.000 Right, and it would make sense that that's associated with 279 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.400 one of the highest gods, especially since perception and these 280 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:29.319 gods are very much linked together. Yeah, all right, So 281 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.559 I got an email. I got several emails from Winter York, 282 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.440 and we're going to have to do it different sections 283 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:40.039 because there are no So this is from Winter high 284 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.079 Head Listen, Hi, Nick, I finally found the time to 285 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.079 write again. Considering my busy schedule. I don't want to 286 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:48.079 make this too long, so I'll try and put a 287 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.039 break in spots. As it is, this is about a 288 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.279 journey I didn't want to take, but I found myself 289 00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:01.319 on it, and maybe I can help someone navigate. There 290 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.400 we go, let's see if they find themselves on the 291 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.920 same path and lost all start out with what I 292 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.880 see now as a foreshadowing of things to come. When 293 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.759 I was about four or five years old, I had 294 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.759 a number of strange dreams that a child shouldn't have had, 295 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.000 and a complete inability to comprehend the symbology of it. 296 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.400 Remember my age as I explained this dream. One I 297 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.480 went out into the woods, into the backyard of New 298 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.240 Hampshire where I grew up, and found a strange stick. 299 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.119 I brought it in the house and it could write 300 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.799 on the walls in wet ash and couldn't run out. 301 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.160 I started writing strange symbols on the walls, and then 302 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.559 the dream jumped forward to me standing back, looking at 303 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.519 the geometric and circular symbols in rows from the floor 304 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.640 to the ceiling. At that moment, my grandmother walked in 305 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.920 and said, you just opened something you can't close, and 306 00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:00.440 now you have to burn the house down. That I 307 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.160 got the feeling in my chest that was like pure terror, 308 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:11.680 that hard pang of absolute fear. Let me see. I 309 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.480 looked at her and I asked in a terrified voice 310 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.880 because I knew I had done something awful, and asked, 311 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.839 but can we rebuild it? Next thing in this dream, 312 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:22.839 I was out in the living room and my mom 313 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.000 was sitting and sobbing in front of the unlit fireplace, 314 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.880 which also had an enormous terra cotta owl next to it, 315 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:39.000 which may or may not mean anything right Minerva. She 316 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.839 was crying over a boyfriend or a breakup, but she 317 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.880 didn't seem to see me, as she didn't respond to me. 318 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.680 Then I woke up studying this stuff. Now the stick 319 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.400 would represent the earth, air, fire, and water. The symbols 320 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.359 I learned were all chemical because I saw al chemical 321 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.279 symbols as I got older and realized that's what I 322 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.480 wrote on the wall in my dream, But it didn't 323 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.720 make much sense to me. I wasn't studying the occult 324 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.880 at that point. The fact that the message in the 325 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.039 dream of opening something that I can't close, burning the 326 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:20.519 house down to rebuild now that the purification through fire, transformation, rebuilding, 327 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.720 and the part about my mom crying in front of 328 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.559 the fireplace, not seeing me crying over men. Well, I 329 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.240 was raised by grandparents because she was out partying and 330 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.720 running through boyfriends. What I didn't know until last year 331 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.839 was before she had me, she was gang ared in 332 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.480 a van in the most horrific way and had an 333 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.799 abortion from it. And she had multiple abortions after that, 334 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.680 and she admitted she wanted to punish every man she 335 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.559 could because of what happened to her. The only reason 336 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.599 I'm alive is my dad didn't believe in abortion. But 337 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.880 she couldn't see me in the dream, much like the reality. 338 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.240 The fireplace was unlit and cold in that dream. No spark, 339 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.559 which is also next to the giant terra Cotta owl. 340 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.359 Very lilith energy. In my opinion, Wow, that mom sounds 341 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.240 like you know she has the experience and then turns 342 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:20.440 into kind of a lit Lithian energy. The only reason 343 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.119 I say that the owl showed up later in life 344 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:29.920 is right before shit hit the fan did not dream 345 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:35.160 the next day. Strange and significant experience I had was 346 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.160 I had sleep paralysis. One was me waking up with 347 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.920 a weight so heavy on my chest I couldn't breathe, 348 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.279 and a guy that looked like he was made of 349 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.000 green plasma that looked exactly like the logo of the 350 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:53.119 Green Giant Frozen Peas. It was three feet tall and 351 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.160 stopping on my chest. I thought I was going to die. 352 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.640 And I couldn't hear the sound of the TV and 353 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.480 my grandparents talking to each other from the den, and 354 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:05.640 could see the light in the hallway, but I couldn't 355 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.359 make out the sound. It was terrifying. I must have 356 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.759 passed out after that, as I am not dead loll 357 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.640 and I was wondering if the Green Man energy or 358 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:19.079 pan or just a strange coincidence third not dream. I 359 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.960 would get scared sleeping alone in my room and would 360 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:24.279 get out of bed in the middle of the night 361 00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.720 and go to my grandparents room and climb between them 362 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.680 to sleep. One night, I woke up and was off 363 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.079 the bed, not on the side, but literally above the 364 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.799 bed levitated. I couldn't move, scream or anything, and I 365 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.640 could hear my grandpa snoring and my Grandma's breathing, but 366 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.440 I was frozen about three to four feet off the bed. 367 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.759 This is so vivid to me that I remember the 368 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.519 pajamas I was wearing because I could see the little 369 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.359 pastel purple from an animal print on my chest. As 370 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.279 I was terrified, a female vote voice spoke. I couldn't 371 00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.680 see what was speaking at it was telepathic. It said, 372 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.319 don't be scared, we aren't going to hurt you. There 373 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.160 was also a male presence, but it felt more distant. 374 00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:11.920 That's all I remember from that night. But the next 375 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.319 day I was playing in the living room by myself, 376 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.160 and it's like I forgot what happened the prior night. 377 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.079 And then I looked up at my grandparents' old rotary 378 00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.240 phone and suddenly remembered. And a strange thing was that 379 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.559 it was like my brain had a script that kicked in. 380 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.279 I can't explain it well. So I'm looking up at 381 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.000 the rotary phone and it triggered a memory to come back, 382 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.279 and in my mind, as if on a track, didn't 383 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:43.559 put their thought. They told me that they were angels. 384 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.880 But if they are angels, why would I be scared. 385 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.839 I was looking up at this phone, and I couldn't 386 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.000 have been older than five at this point, possibly six, 387 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:54.440 but no older than that. After this, I had a 388 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:57.400 sudden fear of running out of resources. I was terrified 389 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.559 of wasting water, hearing an engine run and not being 390 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.920 used to not being used drove me nuts, and the 391 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.599 biggest change was the fear of insects and the sound 392 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.319 of buzzing driving me to terror. Now the phone is 393 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.000 a symbol of communication the thing, while the buzzing I'm 394 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.880 still trying to figure out. I know when I started 395 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.039 actively meditating a few years ago, I started hearing buzzing sounds, 396 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:24.480 as if bees were flying around me. I'm wondering that 397 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.880 if this had to do with that state of consciousness 398 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:32.039 I was accidentally dropping into mind you Nothing this extreme 399 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.279 happened again into my early thirties. I tried to tell 400 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.759 my grandparents and my mom, and I was ignored, so 401 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.400
