So why don't 9 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.240 we start with you, Nick, show the people. 10 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.920 Your glyph all right today? 11 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.079 Oh yeah, you gotta pull it up on you right. Unfortunately, 12 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.000 I'm thinking it's my streamyarding. 13 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:53.399 All right. 14 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.600 So today today we got Demnus Hieroglyphica, which was published 15 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.520 in fifteen sixty or created by John d. It is 16 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.480 both a symbol and a philosophical treatise expressed through a 17 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.760 single glyph that De. 18 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.799 Called the monass. 19 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.480 It's a mix of astrological and alchemical symbols designed to 20 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.599 represent the interconnectedness of all things and serve as a 21 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.319 key to understanding the universe. 22 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.560 As you can see here, it. 23 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.920 Has the sun soul circle with a dot, symbolizing the 24 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.920 divine masculine principle and the source of light in life. 25 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.040 Then you have the moon Luna, a crescent representing the 26 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.480 feminine material world and receptivity, and then the cross signifying 27 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.640 the four elements earth, air, fire, water and their unity, 28 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:45.040 reflecting the hermetic concept of the quaternary and the ternary, 29 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.400 the four elements harmonized with the divine trinity. And then 30 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.879 there is the symbol of ares, linked to fire and transformation, 31 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.560 often associated with alchemical purification. These elements are arranged in 32 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.400 a specific way to show thee's vision of cosmic unity. 33 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.599 He believes that the monass held a kind of like 34 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.240 a mystic or an occult significance, acting as a tool 35 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.800 for spiritual and intellectual insight. You would suggest a meditating 36 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.080 or he would to unlock hidden knowledge and even communicate 37 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:16.680 with angels. 38 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.680 Supposedly, d saw it as. 39 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.280 A representation of a fundamental illness of creation, influenced by 40 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:29.199 celestial and terrestrial forces, and just real quick, before I 41 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.479 shut up. The Rosicrucians adopted the Monasque glyph. It appears 42 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.439 in the chemical wedding of Christian Rosenkrutz in sixteen sixteen. Supposedly, 43 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.439 the monass also influenced alchemists like and I covered this guy, 44 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:48.360 Heinrich Kunrath and Gerald Dorn and supposedly the glyph's influence 45 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.280 reached a new world through figures like John Winthrop the Younger, 46 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.039 the alchemist and Puritan, who used the monass as his 47 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:56.879 personal mark. 48 00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.960 So there we go. 49 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.240 I think what's also interesting about that is it produces 50 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.199 the sign for. 51 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:07.080 Hermes. 52 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.120 Yes, yes, yes, I'm gonna think that's that's go ahead, 53 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.560 no go no, go ahead, go ahead. 54 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.439 The sign for. 55 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.960 Hermes is important because they always say that he's the 56 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.599 one who travels between the realms. So it's connecting all 57 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.759 things in the one thing. And so that's what John 58 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.840 d was going for in his Monus high Hieroglyphica. This 59 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.439 is the thing for all things, so you can use 60 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.360 it in your magical practice to connect with all things. 61 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.159 Well, I think even if you look at it that way, 62 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.000 I think it's even showing you that. 63 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.680 I mean, he's taking the masculine and the feminine energy's 64 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:42.479 putting it together. 65 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:43.159 And what do you get. 66 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.240 You get something that looks like the mercury glyph Mercury. 67 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.439 Maybe that's saying something about mercury, you know what I'm saying. 68 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.879 Even in the Kabbala, the symbol one of the symbols 69 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.919 that can be used for which goes with mercury is 70 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.960 a hermaphrodite. I think that's very much what the Prince 71 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.680 was doing with his glyph and the way he presented himself. 72 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:06.039 Yeah. 73 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.520 Absolutely, And understanding that principle of hermes or the idea 74 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.400 of identifying the flow and getting into the states of 75 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.560 consciousness that will connect to with everything is also one 76 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.399 of the reasons why you should do the meditations on 77 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.639 this glyph is because the idea is to slow the 78 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.680 mind and spread out the consciousness, and that's really how 79 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.639 you're going to get the maximum kind of harvest for 80 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.319 your efforts. And so I think the John d glyphs 81 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.759 that he comes up with are really interesting to ponder. 82 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.800 And if you get into the whole idea of naki 83 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.079 and magic, you're going to want to have time to 84 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.639 meditate on stuff like this while working on it, because 85 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.040 it's supposed to go between all of the elements. So 86 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.399 as you construct the tablets that are meant for the divination, 87 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.439 you're going to want to know these things before getting 88 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.519 into these rituals because you never know what you're. 89 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.079 Going to get out of it. 90 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.639 They say, don't play with stuff you don't understand. 91 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.399 Exactly. This is like the precursor. 92 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:20.839 So I got my glyph here, which is the the anchor. Now, 93 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.560 this anchor was the symbol for the Selucidian Empire. And 94 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.240 you'll notice right in there you got the cross, you 95 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:35.199 got the idea of the three pronged you know, Trinitarian 96 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.199 symbol of Poseidon, right, So you've got a lot of 97 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.839 other glyphs mashed into this one. Now, the Selucitian Empire 98 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.399 was the one that took over after the death of 99 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.560 Alexander the Great in the region of Asia Minor all 100 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.560 the way over to. 101 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.519 Iran and close to India. So it was all over 102 00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.240 that stuff. 103 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.160 And what they telling you with this lyft anytime you 104 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.720 see it, this has to do with trade, right, and 105 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.240 so the Selucitian Empire thought that they could be the 106 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.000 new trading empire that they knew of in this sort 107 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:13.720 of region of the world. 108 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.199 So we're talking about. 109 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.680 Syria, Israel, all of the stuff in between, Lebanon, all 110 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.720 the rest of these places were very highly inducted into 111 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.000 the trading systems of the ancient world. And by having 112 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.639 the Selucitian Empire being closely related to all that, you 113 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.319 know what they were trying to do was own all 114 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.279 the trades. So the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, all the rest 115 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.680 of that stuff that was in this area, all the 116 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:47.800 Canaanite and Phoenician stuff had fallen pretty much by that time, 117 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.160 and you had their Punic Empire kind of falling apart 118 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.319 by the time that the Selucidians sort of came to prominence. 119 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.360 And that doesn't even bring into the fact the Punic Wars. 120 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.399 But I've also been looking into Ugarit, and ugar It 121 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.480 was a city that was right between the Egyptian Empire, 122 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.639 which was all the way down into Egypt, going all 123 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.519 the way up through Israel, all the way up through 124 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.519 all those areas, right at this one little spot that 125 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.800 was sort of the linkage between them and the Hittites. 126 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.160 And so if you look into the bail cycle of mythology, 127 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.240 you'll find a lot of stuff from the Bible a 128 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.920 thousand years later. So they took a lot of the 129 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:37.399 inspiration from the Ugarit bail cycle myths and put that 130 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.680 directly into the Bible. 131 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.079 Like he who rides the clouds. 132 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.439 That's one of the things that they talked about in 133 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.399 the bail cycle myth And you can also find it 134 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:50.720 in proverbs, so all of these honorifics and things, it 135 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.240 came straight from. 136 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.079 Ugart and you gar. 137 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.839 It lasted a long time because they were the perfect 138 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.319 entity not not to mess with. They kept the piece 139 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.279 between the Egyptians and the Hittites, and so it was 140 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.040 a very important place for its time, and so a 141 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.240 lot of its mythology really held strong even past the 142 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.680 fall of the Hittites, even past the fall of the Egyptians, 143 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.800 even past the fall of the Selucidians. All of those 144 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.600 mythologies really does shape the conscious mind of what we 145 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.600 are today. And it all comes through this trading network 146 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.600 on that eastern coastline of the Mediterranean. 147 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.920 So that is my symbol. 148 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.759 So if you guys want to know more about this stuff, 149 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.600 look up agent ugar at myths and you'll find so. 150 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:43.799 Much stuff on the Bible. It's incredible. So what do 151 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.240 we have for our mail bag this week? 152 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.679 Oh yeah, all right, so this is let's see. 153 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.279 Yeah, there was somebody I think that might be sending 154 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:57.679 you one on what they did in time. 155 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.799 I do know the least one that was supposed to 156 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:01.080 go to you. 157 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.600 Okay, let's try to say I talked to you about 158 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.840 possible guests for the show too. 159 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:14.240 Right, yeah, right, So I got this one from Douglas. 160 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.639 It says, Hello the occult rejects, thank you for the 161 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.799 great work, oh headless, thank you for reading this, Sincerely, 162 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.840 DRII it would be my humble honor to tell you 163 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.279 about my experience with the plasma or beings or whatever 164 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.919 we are calling them these days.

I would rather speak than write. 167 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.240 This took me a long time to try and make readable. 168 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.440 Scene Seattle, Washington, summer of two thousand and seven, late summer. 169 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.600 It was hot as hell. I lived in a loft 170 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.360 in a warehouse at the bottom floor of an old 171 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.799 brick building built in nineteen ten, part of the town 172 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.159 Capitol Hill, down the block from Comet Tavern. I was 173 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.480 known at this time to have connections to certain substances 174 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.559 and would trade them for other material substances. Let's say 175 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.120 let's say that, as we know, people like to party anyways. 176 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.720 I say this only so that you can comprehend the 177 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.919 position I was in, because I'm pretty sure it's universal. 178 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.759 When you have these types of things, people tend to 179 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.080 hang out with you a lot more than if they 180 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.039 were really your friends. A majority of people tend to 181 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.399 turn out to be yes men when they want something. 182 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.000 It's as if the people seem to fail to organize 183 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.879 our higher desires in harmonic reality, look beyond. 184 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.679 The desires of our transient state. Very true. 185 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.039 It was in the early afternoon on this hot day 186 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.759 in Seattle. I was out making deliveries and ran into 187 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.639 my here too remain nameless friend. He had tickets to 188 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.960 a rock show and demanded I come with him. I 189 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.759 do my work, he does his hours later getting it lit. 190 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.200 So we were off to see Radio Birdman this night, 191 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.919 and the falling experiences. 192 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.960 Changed my life forever. 193 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:09.120 Radio Birdman a garage rock group that supposedly influenced Iggy 194 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.600 Pop's style, while Iggy got all the faming credit. As 195 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.399 the flow goes, I guess at the show a small club. 196 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.320 I can't remember which club we were at. Regardless, we 197 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.799 got really into the music. In between, buzzed and excited, 198 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.600 I wandered off on my own, the musical performance actually 199 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.279 giving rise in me to carefree dance. To say the least, 200 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.000 Merging with the crowd has always been awkward and foreign 201 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:39.240 as it is with all men, this was different. I 202 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.039 gave in subtly to dancing. I felt a shift in 203 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.519 the energy in the room, as I've noticed at other 204 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.200 shows in the past when the crowds water merges in 205 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.840 adoration for whatever the focus of the gathering. But in 206 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.840 this case, I saw a small point of light leave 207 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.679 the guitarist's body, which began flying and spinning around. Eventually 208 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.000 it noticed me and came right over. We merged and 209 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.919 continued dancing. Flashback two thousand and three or so, San Francisco, 210 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.600 Water Street, Fisherman's Wharf. 211 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.759 I've been there before. I had seen these orbs before once. 212 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.720 It was only when I got a room of people 213 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.480 to play wild improvisational music somewhat raptured into a state 214 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.440 of bliss. The air became luminous, wispy, and thick with 215 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.879 these small white orbs that came out. They came out 216 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.600 of white light, the reflection in the eyes. Maybe that 217 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.559 is a key for later, and they seemed to appear 218 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:38.399 from around the sparkle, emanating from a genuinely blissful smile. 219 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.399 I took all of this in from the room and 220 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.639 realized I was playing well A determined a detriment to 221 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.360 live music, always causing errors. Guitar string suddenly broke and 222 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.080 the energy was swept out of the room by shock. 223 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.840 ORBS vanished party moved on. Really didn't think too much 224 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.600 of it, but it seemed obvious that they were attracted 225 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.919 to blissful expressions of fun. This memory is why I 226 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.080 assumed I wasn't disturbed by the idea of merging with 227 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.120 the ORB but I'm pretty open to new things. Okay, 228 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.960 back to Seattle after the show, with a new friend 229 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.799 coming with me following me home from the club. As usual, 230 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.120 I also had people waiting for me to pick up 231 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.399 the phone, probably wondering about the vicinity near or on 232 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.879 my street looking suspicious. Unnecessarily, who knows. We began the 233 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.120 trek back buying cases of beer from the store. Of course, 234 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.000 it sure takes a long time settling this situation up 235 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.240 on paper so I can introduce the ORBS. It is 236 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:44.840 important that I collect people that power the event. What 237 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.480 happens next was hard to accomplish, and I can only 238 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.879 imagine how hard this experience would be to achieve on purpose. 239 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.320 We're getting close to the house. 240 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.240 We arrived roommates in bed three am in the morning, 241 00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.039 if not later. 242 00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.679 It was dark. We were drunk. 243 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.799 Long story shirt had been I had people in and 244 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.799 out while getting acquainted with the guy that tagged along 245 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.519 with me from the show. We were arguing about the 246 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.480 differences of punk versus rock and rock and roll. At 247 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.919 a certain point in any conversation with the human being, 248 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.519 I learned it as pointless to keep talking. I told 249 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.559 them to shut up and just play the guitar. I 250 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.039 had to answer the door from the people I let 251 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.519 in and out of my house. I got around eight 252 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.840 or so of them to stay and play music with us. 253 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.320 Even though a lot of these bodies and names may 254 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.120 have continued to change throughout the night and into the 255 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.919 next day, we maintained around a body count of eight. 256 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.519 I did not realize this was important then see Lynn 257 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:45.320 McTaggart's work. Somehow I dealt with all of the interruptions 258 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.200 call short deliveries, the bar roommates, and bodily fluids like 259 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.759 going pe when sustaining an ongoing musical event in my 260 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:57.000 room while my roommates remained undisturbed. Question mark. In reflection, 261 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.799 this seems impossible, but I swear all of this happened. 262 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.759 I remember three long days of wild and frantic music. 263 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.799 Basically having to kidnap a certain keys musically able body 264 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.240 friends from their lives to accomplish this, which had severe 265 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:17.039 long term effects on their relationships. Sorry, guys, how it happened, 266 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.120 I don't know, but I had to feed them a 267 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.320 hefty amount of free party supplies, which I was up for. 268 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.159 I covered my bottom line. I do remember the middle 269 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.000 seeing my roommates briefly and giving them a bunch of 270 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.879 grass or something. 271 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.200 It must have bought me some time. 272 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.399 So I had a group of around eight people, all 273 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.320 dedicated to one task, playing live music. This was the 274 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.279 hardest and I probably worked in my life, all the 275 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.120 distractions and reasonable people never putting music first. For me 276 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.879 to show my determination and stick to the task is 277 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.120 shocking to me. The orb from the guitarist must have 278 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.320 inspired me. It takes a lot of confidence in oneself 279 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.559 to organize a bunch of sarcastic atheists. I usually been 280 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.480 giving up this inspiration, but this time I didn't give 281 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.480 a fuck and what the social structures wanted. I seriously 282 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.360 pulled this off. Whatever it was, we played like the ocean, 283 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.279 felt like time. Nah, it did not resemble time within 284 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.879 the vortex of the pressure waves produced by a continuous song. Finally, 285 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.879 after long long, it was I could keep up and 286 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.559 stop playing. The room's music kept being generated. I had 287 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.960 them sustaining their focus, completely undistracted by all of our 288 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.240 pre existing habits. I didn't know it before, but it 289 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.440 made sense. Then This was success. So I put down 290 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.919 my guitar and began to rise. I raised my arms 291 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.159 beside my head, and what was kind of known as 292 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.960 the hecka posed and looked up to the ceiling. We 293 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.879 disrupted the fabric of the beginning above my head. In 294 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.639 the ceiling, I could see clouds forming, glowing, and expanding 295 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.639 into a ring. Within this ring, the night sky, or 296 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.480 a night sky filled with stars could be seen. As 297 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.480 I looked up a maze that looked down to make 298 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.359 sure folks kept playing. I could only see joy on 299 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.960 their faces. And then the clouds kept growing and the 300 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.680 stars began approaching. Two particular came in real close to 301 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.160 the edge of the cloud. I say hello with my 302 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.000 mind and welcome them to join us. With this, I 303 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.319 extended my arms in an arc towards the scene still 304 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.599 unfolding before me. I could see small white orbs materializing 305 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.799 from the glare in the eyes, the reflective shimmer, and 306 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.960 from this space surrounding their smiles where some people have dimples. 307 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.319 The two exes rising up and flying about. The little 308 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.720 one's bions played. 309 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.519 As we played. 310 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.960 No one else seemed to notice this. I looked up 311 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.440 again to see two orbs light and beautiful, cool plasma blue. 312 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.079 They seemed to be whispering to each other. By the 313 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.160 look of the subtle oscillations as they shimmered in alternating codes, 314 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.400 it appeared to me that they called over a third 315 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.000 orb to come and look at our little party. The 316 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.920 third orb and the clouds and I were now aligned. 317 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.079 It was like he moved or the room moved. I 318 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:10.799 really don't know. 319 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:17.559 Don't quote me on this, okay, because maybe I suddenly 320 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.319 had yeah, suddenly had a three D view, because remember 321 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.720 both sides like two panoramas. 322 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:25.920 Sorry not sorry. It was cool. 323 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.559 Straight into my crown, A beam of blue light shot 324 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.759 into my mind. Thousands or millions of pages of a 325 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.319 document poured into me. A strange language of circles, a 326 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:41.000 lot like crop circles, exactly like crop circles, expanded through me. 327 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.839 I could sense that what I was receiving information that 328 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.319 sex was the same thing as communication, that we as 329 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.759 a society really don't understand anything. I could feel all 330 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.440 the knowledge now surrounding me. This process was ongoing, but 331 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.880 I began lowering my eyes to a different sensation. We 332 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.160 were about to be interrupt Apparently my roommates had had enough. 333 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.960 My door bust open. Music machine people stopped, completely shutting down. 334 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.359 The light beamed mid transmission. I looked at what became 335 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.680 one of my roommate's eyes. The orbs and the clouds vanished, 336 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.960 as if frightened by the vibe coming through my open 337 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.000 room door. The anger was pouring from her glasses was molten. 338 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.440 It was chewable. I looked again to the orbs, but 339 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.240 they were completely gone. She berating us or whatever uptight 340 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.039 people that got to work in the morning and live 341 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.680 normal lives like to do. The eight people started pouring 342 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.319 out quietly, laughing. Like many times in my past. It 343 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.880 was chaotic and awkward, but I believed in what I 344 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.960 was doing way more than my nine or five, so 345 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.920 I probably seemed very rude at the time. Me and 346 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.599 one of the guitarists grabbed our instruments and hit the road, 347 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.799 playing music through the streets. For a day or two 348 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.160 till we returning to work. There is more, a lot 349 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.720 more to the story of the negative encounter with spirit, 350 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.920 just seems hypothetical and forced upon the experience by reflection 351 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.079 and research. It all happened after the orb phenomena, so 352 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.160 perhaps it should be viewed as separate. I will send 353 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.039 a second email for what requires still editing. 354 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:18.119 Simple warning. 355 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.039 It's about the knowledge received by this interaction expands upon 356 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.880 the hypothesis and other experiences forming in this It's all 357 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.160 about music and water. Maybe I could come on the 358 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.119 show and share the rest rather than spend two months 359 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:35.839 trying as my writing goes, none has ever tried to 360 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.119 read my writing aloud. Love the show, cheers Douglas. 361 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.720 Wow, Yeah, what are your thoughts? 362 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.559 Like a wild story? I think if the person is 363 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.440 willing to come on and be interesting to hear that 364 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.160 that was a lot and not complaining like that, like 365 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.119 what they said, that must have taken a while, right, 366 00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.279 That is. 367 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.720 Well, but just kind of brings me back to the 368 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.000 ancient world because they had these jams going on for 369 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.599 days at a time to bring them into. 370 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.559 These like ecstatic states. 371 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.720 Exactly divine madness. They talk about it all over the place, 372 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.160 you know. And one of the things about Anatolia is 373 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.759 this is where Dionysus came from. So all of this 374 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:27.359 sort of Turkey influence in degreece created this Dionysiac way 375 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.759 of you know, communicating using this sort of divine madness. 376 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.680 It was I actually have. I mean I think like 377 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.279 in a month and a half, eventually they'll drop. I 378 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.880 have like Robert Flood and Marsilia Facino that I did 379 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.759 like solo shows on myself, and both of them were 380 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.160 huge into music as like they think it can heal, 381 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.440 they think it can help have an experience with God. 382 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.799 Like they were huge into believing that music would would 383 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.119 you do stuff to the body. 384 00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.039 Absolutely. 385 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.200 But what he's doing is he's kind of combining the 386 00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:07.240 idea of affect with music and then using the affect 387 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.319 that it creates over a long period of time and 388 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.359 getting it precise into the exact sort of feeling that 389 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.440 he wanted to get out of it. Because I think 390 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.319 what a lot of people find when they're doing music 391 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:23.400 is that sometimes the way people feel. 392 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.880 Are influencing the music in ways that they probably don't, 393 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.240 you know, expect. Just want to say thank you. John 394 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.799 Donald Ferguson for the five dollars, thank you. So if 395 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:34.599 they get. 396 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.000 Into this groove, they have this affect and they're building 397 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.000 upon it, it almost seems like they're opening up a 398 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.519 portal to another way of viewing things. 399 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:46.240 I think. 400 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:55.960 It devotion. What are your thoughts, Nick, I know you've 401 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.920
