Nick from Nicole Rejects podcast you 39 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.639 can find out a bit you rumble YouTube and all 40 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.199 major podcasts today will be covering herbs, resins and incense 41 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.120 and ritual magic and their effects on the body and 42 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.560 mind and the cranial nerves. 43 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.439 Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to. 44 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:09.800 This and the nervous system. 45 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.719 Yeah, without any more delay, Nick, all right. 46 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.280 We haven't had delay yet, have we right? 47 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.400 What we did for a second with Jacqueline all right, 48 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.759 So here we go kick it off. Uh, all right, 49 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.039 So it's herbs, resins and incense and ritual magic and 50 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.080 their effects on the body and mind and the cranial 51 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.000 nerves and the nervous system. For millennia, practitioners of ritual 52 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.759 magic and witchcraft have burned incense and crafted potions for 53 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.759 sacred plants, not only for symbolic reasons, but also to 54 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.400 harness their very real effects on the human body and consciousness. 55 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.159 Art and science recognizes twelve cranial nerves that mediate our 56 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:55.960 senses smell, sight, taste, hearing, touch, and vital functions. Interestingly, 57 00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:01.039 many traditional ritual herbs engage these same pathways. Aromatic incenses 58 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.840 like frankensense in stage stimulate the olfactory nerves the CN one, 59 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.800 directly influencing the limbic system, the brain's emotional center, to 60 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.080 induce calm or trance. Pungred spices like peppermint and clove 61 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.439 activate the trigeminal nerves CN five, creating sensations of cooling 62 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.319 or numbness. Even infinous witching herbs like mandrake contain alkaloids 63 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.360 affecting their oculomotor nerve CN three, dilating pupils and the 64 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.199 vagus nerve. The CNX is the cn ten slowing the heart. Thus, 65 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.639 the magical effects of these botanicals often have concrete neurological correlates, 66 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.800 and this paper will explore a pantheon of herbs, resins, 67 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.639 and incenses, from common kitchen herbs like rosemary and peppermint 68 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.199 to temple incenses like mer dealing, both detailing both their 69 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.360 traditional magical uses and psychological and psychological physiological sorry effects, 70 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.720 especially on the senses and nerves. Each plant or resin 71 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.839 is discussed separately to highlight its unique virtues. Through this 72 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.279 comprehensive analysis, we see how ritual magic's herbal lore interweaves 73 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.199 spiritual intention in pharmacology, aligning the energy of plants with 74 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:17.160 tangible sensations inhaling responses. Here is my thesis. In plain terms, 75 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.040 much of what passes for spells in deity contact in 76 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.519 ritual in my opinion, is a finely tuned psychodrama driven 77 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.560 by chemistry and staging. Not God's incense. Just smell isn't 78 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.160 just smell. It's pharmacology routed straight through the olfactory nerve 79 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.199 and trigeminal system into the limbic brain. Lenolol is in 80 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.759 lavender lower's arousal menthol empepperment snaps attention while cooling the 81 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.600 face in sensul acetate and frankincense promotes a warm, antiolotic, 82 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:52.480 antiolytic calm. Spicy eugenols and turpenes tweak pain and breath, nudging, 83 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:57.959 vagal tone towards safety, dim lights, chant, rhythm, and expectation. 84 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.360 To do the rest, the body shifts first, slower heart, 85 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.839 looser muscles, easier breath, and the mind backfills a grandiose 86 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.199 story to explain the shift. The story is typically a 87 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.920 presence entered the room and why not? I'm so special 88 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.040 and smart. Under pressure, the psyche prefers agency over accident, 89 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.199 so once the chemicals have softened, anxiety ritual furnishes both 90 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.399 an answer, a belevanant, a benevolent helper, and a villain 91 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.279 a hexer arkhan, a planetary mal effect to absorb blame 92 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.920 for we can't fix or when comprehension stings or is 93 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.800 at a loss completely, the relief you feel becomes proof 94 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.079 the helper is real, and so are the delusions. This 95 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.160 is the exact point when the so called magician becomes 96 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.560 a slave to the gods and to the terrified mind 97 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.680 that has constructed to bring on ease and relief, typically 98 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.639 in a lie. In my view, most witches and magicians 99 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.439 are running this loop far more often than they are 100 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.079 contacting anything external, and even far less of the internal. 101 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.800 By the time you have finished reading this or listening 102 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.079 to this, Scott Cunningham's books on herbs should look like 103 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.759 Doctor Seuss to any serious alchemist magician in occultists. Now 104 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:13.120 I will continue on to lavender. Lavender. Lavender is cherished 105 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.839 and magic for its ability to bring peace, clarity, and healing. 106 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.160 It is often used in spells to comtensions, attract gentle love, 107 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.680 and provide psychic protection. In witchcraft editions, lavender is associated 108 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.360 with spiritual purification and the third Eye tracker. Its sweet 109 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.920 aroma helps clear the mind, enhance into a division, and 110 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.639 invite RESTful sleep. Healers burn a lavender or use its 111 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.120 oil to cleanse a space of negative vibes and to 112 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.399 lift the spirits with loving Venusian energy. Folklore notes lavender's 113 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.720 power to protect against the evil eye and to soothe 114 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.000 heartbreak or grief. Dry lavender blossoms are added to sassays 115 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.240 for love and tranquility, and its common ingredient in dream 116 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:57.480 pillows to prevent nightmare. In short, lavender's magical correspondence spans 117 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.560 from love to romance, to protection and peace. The relaxing 118 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:06.160 reputation of lavender has a well established biochemical basis. Its 119 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.800 essential oil is rich in linelol and linylyl acetate, which 120 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:19.360 have sedative, aiolytic, anxiety reducing effects on the nervous system. Inhandling, 121 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.360 lavender engages the ol factory nerve, the CN one, and 122 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.720 directly influences brain regions governing stress. Medical studies show that 123 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:34.200 lavender's aroma enhances GABBA new transmission, which quiets the central 124 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.399 nervous system, much like like anti anxiety medications, but gentler. 125 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.919 This GABBA modulating effect explains why lavender oil can improve 126 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.120 sweet sleep quality and even compared to low dose tranquilizers 127 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:54.240 and efficacy. Clinically, a specific lavender extract known as silxin 128 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.639 has been shown to reduce anxiety and promote deep slow 129 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:02.960 wave sleep without sedation. Additionally, lavender scent lower's heart rate 130 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.879 and blood pressure via the vaguus nerve, inducing a state 131 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:13.200 of paris and para sympathetic calm. Some hospitals now use 132 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:17.600 lavender romatherapy for patients as reliably as it reliably reduces 133 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.639 agitation and improves moved. Thus, when a witch burns lavender 134 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.480 sprague is to concentrate a ritual or anoints yourself with 135 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.879 lavender oil before meditation, there is a dual action. Spiritually, 136 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.320 it purifies and uplifts physically. It actually quiets the mind 137 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.919 and calms the cranial nerves, preparing one for focused intent 138 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.120 we wonder. Lavender has been called Nature's tranquilizer. By soothing 139 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.799 frazzled nerves and easing anxiety, lavender creates an ideal mental 140 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.639 state for prayer, healing work, or drift into prophetic dreams. 141 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.919 I don't know if anybody wants to add to that. 142 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.840 Before I go to the next one, we'll do it 143 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.320 like that, So I'll just keep running my mouth. 144 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:04.240 I think I just wanted to make a comment on 145 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.879 your on your thesis statement, and I was. 146 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.360 A little rough, but I mean that's how I see 147 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:09.720 a lot of. 148 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.240 This stuff that's fair. I actually want to agree with you. 149 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.879 I think most of that stuff is it's implied, and 150 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.600 therefore like it's implied, and people take it on as 151 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.320 though it's something that is more concrete than it really is, 152 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:37.360 Like it's a you know, power suggestion more than anything 153 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.320 in my opinion, like Okay, it smells nice or this, 154 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.519 you know, but they don't specifically, just smelling something doesn't 155 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.159 change a physical state or a mental state inside like 156 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.120 chemically inside your brain in my opinion, unless you're smelling 157 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.600 something that is, you know, a toxin. 158 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:01.840 Right. 159 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.759 So yeah, well you step in dog shit, that might 160 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:06.879 change your fucking attitude. 161 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.759 Yeah, that's going to ruin your day a little bit, 162 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:15.320 I believe. Yeah, But yeah, I think in maybe to 163 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.960 a very small degree, because it alters your state of 164 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:25.720 mind because you're allowing it to or you're convinced that 165 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.519 it is doing so it has you know, it does 166 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.600 have some slight effect, but it doesn't actually alter or 167 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:39.360 change anything at like a molecular level, you know. So 168 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:40.879 I would agree with that statement. 169 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:47.240 Yeah, anyway, started, I like that you started with you 170 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.120 want to agree, you know, I want to agree as well. 171 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.600 I can't wait to hear where you go with it. 172 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.120 You know, I'm always going to lean towards absolutely everything 173 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:02.279 that we interpret as physical has its echo and correlation 174 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.759 in spiritual right, that's all. It's like, you know, I 175 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.279 feel the need to always temper that premise with that, 176 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.399 you know, And that's all. 177 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:18.080 Well, I would add, probably unbeknownst to most people here, 178 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:24.639 I'm actually in Canada registered herbalists. So I would say that, 179 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:30.480 aside from ingesting or directly applying, as the cases needed, 180 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:35.039 from herb to herber, concoction to concoction, just inhaling something 181 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:45.159 does not have a significant effect, if any like, it's 182 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.679 only psychological to the effect that you allow it to be. 183 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.519 Yeah, your consciousness. It can alter your consciousness. So if 184 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.240 we call it sense memory, right, if I smell lavender 185 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.440 and that takes me back to third grade when I 186 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.919 first right, my level of consciousness goes somewhere, I travel 187 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.639 back to that place, I could literally sense it, right. 188 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.679 So yeah, well the old factory is definitely connecting to memory. 189 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.399 Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's all. If lavender is as 190 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.399 you say, Nick, for prepare for focused intention, right, Okay, Well, 191 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.120 I'm looking for a consciousness shift if I'm looking for 192 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.360 my focused intention. So if I'm using it, you know, 193 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.159 where is the correlation? 194 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:28.759 You know? 195 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.679 Is an interesting question, but I think it boils down 196 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.919 to your consciousness and your experience, right. 197 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:36.840 I think a lot of the feelings people get from 198 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.200 these when they're in putting themselves into a ritual or 199 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.639 spell or whatever is making them think something's actually happening. 200 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.600 Yeah, but you can consider it a form of alchemy because. 201 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.240 You are well. Yeah, I mean I burn a piece 202 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.759 of trash. I created alchemy. There's smoke in the end though, 203 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.559 sures like India. 204 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:54.799 Now. 205 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.240 Yeah, but if you inhale Erwin, it will have an 206 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.120 effect on you. It all depend on what you are in. Haley. 207 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.639 Well, that's what I'm getting at. And most of these 208 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:14.080 things have effects, all right, So anything else, I don't know. 209 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.080 You get to hear the rest, all right. 210 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.559 So ginger, that's the next one. Ginger root is beloved 211 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.200 ingredient and folk magic, renown for its fiery speed up energy. 212 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.799 In many traditions, ginger is considered a powerful magical catalyst. 213 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.919 I remember that, but from back in the day, it 214 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.919 was like, oh, just torst ginger and anything, and it 215 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.639 makes it stronger spell. It is added to spells to 216 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.840 amplify their effect and to bring faster results. Roots, natural warmth, 217 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.320 and spice correspond to the element of fire and the 218 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.879 planet Mars, symbolizing courage, passion, and move which is used 219 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.840 ginger and workings for prosperity and success, for example, sprinking, sprinkling, 220 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.559 powdered ginger, and money drawing charm bags because its energy 221 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.960 attracts wealth and abundance quickly. Likewise and love magic, Ginger's 222 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.480 heat is employed to spark or intensive passion.

In simple terms, ginger puts more heat into 233 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:47.080 any spell, accelerating its workings and boildening the spellcaster. Medieval 234 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.039 magicians even associated ginger with the fiery breadth of the dragon, 235 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.080 a fitting image for its ability to energize and add 236 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:59.360 bite to rituals.

It works, it helps alleviate 370 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.920 symptoms of pain, and I can personally vouch for that one, 371 00:24:54.960 --> 00:25:00.559 so yeah. 372 00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.559 Like it's short lived. The effect is short lived, so 373 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.119 it's something that you have to continuously apply or like 374 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.839 I've seen like those little inhalers that you can just 375 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.640 stick it in your nose like and they actually sell 376 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.720 the vix ones like that too. But I yeah, I've 377 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:19.079 bought from a practitioner, like especially prepared one that had peppermint. 378 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:21.839 You can get spearmint also, but that's a little less effective. 379 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.359 Yeah, I think ginger has I mean, I'm gonna not 380 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.440 argue with you here, but it's add ginger to the 381 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.240 list of when you inhale it. So I'll use ginger 382 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:35.519 for I see, Nick Coffinker reminds me lungs, right, anytime 383 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.160 I have an issue with my lungs, I'll just chunk 384 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:40.400 up ginger and boil it right and make that tea 385 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:45.160 and drink it instantaneously. You mentioned bronchio dilate right instantaneously. Man, 386 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.200 you can feel the lungs open, right, So I started 387 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.240 just putting my head over with a towel and inhale it, 388 00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.000 and the aroma will have the same effect as you 389 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.440 say warming. You can feel the blood warm, you know, 390 00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.160 you can feel the lungs sort of bronchio dilate. Maybe 391 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.440 it's consciousness, but I didn't do that as a kid, 392 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.200 so you know it's me wanting it to work, or 393 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:05.279 it does have that effect. 394 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:11.160 Indeed, well, in since medieval times in Iberia they use 395 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.839 ilka lip cliffs, so they put it into water a 396 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.680 towel above it, and they breath into it, and it 397 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.799 was considered actual medicine until like the nineteenth century for 398 00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:25.359 respiratory problems. 399 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.319 So now that's interesting. It makes me think about like 400 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.960 like if you ever got to like like a massage place, 401 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:33.640 or like you go on our vacation or what to 402 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.759 a result, they always give you those towels that smell 403 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.359 like that shit. 404 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.559 Yeah, but my fascination with all of what you're saying 405 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:46.559 is who found out all about this? Who tested all 406 00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:51.559 of these herbs right to get their results and document them? 407 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.839 So because it didn't it didn't happen by well it 408 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.039 might have happened by accident by the person that is 409 00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.839 testing them, but it's not something that they're joe with, 410 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.480 Oh I have this problem, let me grab some peppermintons 411 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:06.839 like saying, let me get some butter and put it 412 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.319 in my nose and see if it works right, it's 413 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:15.400 it's it's yeah. So it's if someone someone had. 414 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:20.079 To come up with that. True, there was scientific research, 415 00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.920 you know. I mean oftentimes we call shaman or whatever, 416 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.920 but you know, it's whatever it whatever you call it, 417 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:28.680 it's the person that's out there over generations, you know. 418 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:31.599 Like, oh, if I stick this up, my ass will 419 00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:34.680 work better. Yeah. Well look, look I was a repository 420 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.319 who came up with that. 421 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.599 I was probably six or seven years old and gone 422 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.960 to a physician office for some reason I can't remember. 423 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.160 And there is this poster on the wall speaking about 424 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:51.759 this Chinese guy in in BC Times that tried ten 425 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.319 thousand herbs on itself and documented. 426 00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:55.559 There was about that. 427 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.279 I've heard about it, but I looked for it on 428 00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:01.319 online and it doesn't appear. Only thing appears is this 429 00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:06.680 huge chin that in the fourteen fifteen hundreds tested the 430 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.519 eleven hundred herbs and documented them. And he was a 431 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.759 physician for the Ming dynasty. So but the other guy, 432 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:17.880 I never, I never, I never found it. But someone 433 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.160 has to do it. And this guy was supposedly on 434 00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:22.759 a cave testing all of these herbs and just documented. 435 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.400 So it's it's I don't know how he survived all 436 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:28.720 of that being alone and documented that. 437 00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:32.440 But curiosity did not kill the cat. 438 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.799 But it did result in this. 439 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:37.359 It did result in this stick of ginger up my 440 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.799 bumb so it's burning. 441 00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.559 I'm breathing better. I cannot sit down, but I'm breathing 442 00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:47.079 much better. 443 00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:54.119 Really opened things up for me there, Yeah, about my 444 00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.079 water out my nose. 445 00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:57.720 I made the mistake by putting cinnamon oil into a 446 00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:58.440 ritual bath. 447 00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:03.799 Do not do that, Oh God that you fire. 448 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:09.519 Yeah, very spicy, very very spicy. 449 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:11.200 Live and learn. 450 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:18.079 That should hurt. All right, shake the next one. I 451 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.400 left Frankenson's out, unfortunately, just because the time, but I 452 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:23.000 will be covered. 453 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.680 I hate Frankinson's next cinnamon. 454 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.680 But why do you hate Frankinson, Sarah? 455 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:31.799 Why do you hate? 456 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.640 I don't want to say, because it's my favorite. I 457 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:44.279 don't want to get canceled. Okay, it smells like a 458 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.599 gas station. Okay, I'm sorry. I can see that. I'm sorry. 459 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:50.119 I'm so sorry. 460 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.519 Okay, all right, so we'll go on tomorrow. No Frankencense, 461 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.279 fuck Frankinsons. 462 00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:02.200 Okay, frank did not make any sense. No, I don't 463 00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.200 know how he smelled like a gas station. But we'll 464 00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:10.160 just roll forward. There's a backstory there, Sarah. I think 465 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.559 it's itching, you know. 466 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.240 I'm fucked up and I got it, or that I'm 467 00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:18.799 just totally not getting that either. I don't know. Murr 468 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.519 is the bitter sweet sister of frankensince off impaired together 469 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.400 in incense blends for church rituals and spells and magic. 470 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.920 Murr is associated with the divine Feminine, the Great Mother, 471 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.480 with rights of purification and consecration. Ancient Egyptians used murr 472 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.920 in written balming and funeral ceremonies, so it became linked 473 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.200 to honoring the dead and the journey of the soul. 474 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.319 Burning mur is thought to elevate vibrations, aid meditation and 475 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.519 forced a healing and wisdom burns. Before ritual, murr rids 476 00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:53.200 the area of negative vibrations. It helps cultivate wisdom and 477 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:57.160 self healing. Indeed, murr is commonly included in incense to 478 00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.920 cleanse a sacred place or to bless and anoint altars. 479 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.240 Biblical lore, muhr was one of the gifts to the 480 00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:09.559 Christ Child, foreshadowing his death. It was used at his burial. Hence, 481 00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:14.880 muhr symbolizes sacrifice, suffering, and also spiritual immortality. Protection is 482 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:19.160 another key of the magical properties. Murr's smoke drives out 483 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.559 evil influences and is said to guard the soul of 484 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:24.880 one who carries it. In medieval Europe, Muhr was hung 485 00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:29.000 in sachets to prevent hauntings or psychic attacks. Murr is 486 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.319 also sacred to the goddess Isis Mary and Venus. In 487 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.400 her sorrowful aspect, it represents the bitter tears of the goddess. 488 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:40.680 In witchcraft, Murr can be burned to communicate with the 489 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.640 dead or as an offering when working with ancestors, as 490 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:49.160 its vibration is believed to bridge living in the spirit. Notably, 491 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.559 the Greek magical papyri or the PGM, include recipes where 492 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.480 Muhr is burned to invoke love or attraction. One PGM 493 00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.720 spell instructs chanting a lover's name over burning Murr to 494 00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:04.079 en flame her with love. Thus beyond somber uses, Murr 495 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.200 also figures in love and healing spells as a catalyst 496 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:11.839 to open the heart by releasing past pain. Overall, Murr's 497 00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:15.920 magical identity is complex. It purifies and protects like Frankensnse, 498 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.559 but with a more introspective underworld quality forstering meditation in 499 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.880 a healing and a safe passage through grief or spiritual trials. 500 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:27.519 It's often said that frankensense is the light and Murr 501 00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.559 is the dark, complementary resins balancing each other in sense 502 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:37.200 of power. Now the neural, neural and physiological effects Murr's 503 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.680 resinous smoke like Franklin sense, FRANKENSNSE has notable effects on 504 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:46.319 the body's senses and nervous system. Chemically, BURR contains compounds 505 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:50.519 such as this word I'll spell it out f U 506 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.480 r A n O s E s q u I 507 00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:59.160 t e r p n O I d S I 508 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:03.519 don't know what that is, some kind of penoids and 509 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:04.279 and also but. 510 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:05.839 We want to hear you say. 511 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:11.279 To be used in a sentence. 512 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.359 And the cess square terpene alcohols that give it a 513 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:27.000 stringent and anti microbio properties. The nervous system is mildly 514 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.160 sedative and uh, you know, helps with pain. In tradition, medicine, 515 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.640 mirror resin was applied to wounds to numb pain and 516 00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:38.440 prevent infection. Modern analysis shows MURR and activate opioid receptors 517 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:42.079 in mouse brains hinting at a pain relief mechanism. This 518 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.799 could relate to its effect on the trigeminal nerve pain 519 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.960 fibers in wounds, perhaps why it sues tuesthaches when applied 520 00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.799 to gums. In fact, aromatherapy inhaling, mr oils tend to 521 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.359 have a grounding, centering effect. Some describe it as a 522 00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:01.079 calming the nerves, but focusing the mind likely engages olfactory pathways. 523 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:06.240 Similarly to frankincense, Murr's aroma is earthier and more melancholic. 524 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.360 Some researchers suggest Murr's scent can reduce heart rate and 525 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:18.559 blood pressures slightly, indicating parasympathetic vagial activation. Interestingly, why frankinsense 526 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:25.639 insul acetate causes euphoria, Murr's sesquid quidterpenes or whatever may 527 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.679 cause a more introspective mood, not depression, but a thoughtful 528 00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:33.280 calm On a sensory note, burning mr produces a somewhat 529 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:37.119 bitter medicinal aroma. The bitterness on the tongue and nose 530 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:45.320 can stimulate the gluscle pharyngeal nervesx CN four and trigeminal nerves, 531 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:52.039 causing a mild expert expectoration and tightening of mucous membranes. Hence, 532 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.280 it dries the air. This estrigency is associated with clearing congestion. Indeed, 533 00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:01.719 MURR tincture helps dry up excess mucous in chitis. Meanwhile, 534 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:05.320 Murr's influence on brain ways has not been studied as 535 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.000 studies as much as Frankensnse. Fran Consense actually was a 536 00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.880 lot more detailed, but many mediators report that combining the 537 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:17.079 two resins yield a deeper meditative state than either alone. 538 00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.679 It may be that mur complements frank concense by prolonging 539 00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:26.000 the calming alpha brain waves after initial relax relaxation. In effect, 540 00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:29.800 Frankensnse lifts the mood and Muhr grounds and centers it, 541 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:33.480 preventing the mind from wandering. In the ritual context, when 542 00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:37.920 Muhr is burned, the participants often describe feeling solemn or reverent. 543 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.039 This is likely a mix of psychological expectation and genuine 544 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:48.079 mirror physiology. Slower breathing lower to arousal. Moreover, the combination 545 00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.920 of Frankensense and Murr has been found to have a 546 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:56.800 synergistic anti microbial effects, literally cleansing the air of bacteria, 547 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.000 which could translate to easier breathing and a subtle relief 548 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.440 of physiological stress. Summing up, MRR has a quieting, healing 549 00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:08.119 touch on the nerves, does not bless one with stimulation. Rather, 550 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:14.599 it just gently gently does and encourages introspection and magical thinking. 551 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.840 This equates to inner purification. MURR helps numb the pain 552 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.559 of old wounds, physical or emotional, allowing one to process 553 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.440 and release trauma. Hence it's used to heal personal sorrow. 554 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.039 It's a fine example of a plant whose bitter medicine ensues, 555 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:32.280 bridging the gap between physiological and spiritual cleansing of one's being. 556 00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:36.000 Everybody wants to add anything to MR. 557 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.000 I just want to ask you as a practitioner, I 558 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:46.000 understand the physiological effects and their study, but who and 559 00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:50.360 when or why? It's more easy Perhaps they started to 560 00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:54.440 apply that to a spell when it's not a physiological 561 00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:59.079 or a psychological effect, but it's an practical effect at distance. 562 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:04.000 So it is the symbology of the Arab itself that 563 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.079 then is applied to a magical practice or a magical 564 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:11.000 ritual or how how do you see that coming to 565 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:15.800 be the use of certain plans for magical rituals when 566 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.639 they are not implied to create a physical or psychological effect, 567 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.079 but to create some effect from practical magical effect at 568 00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.480 distance to someone or something. 569 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:31.760 Uh my opinion, I think when it comes to magic, 570 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:38.039 I think it all applies to oneself, and I do 571 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:40.800 think at some point, I mean, this is something I've 572 00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:43.599 even gone on about in my own shows. We're going 573 00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.639 back to the sixteen hundreds to seventeen hundreds. You have 574 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.400 people drawing more just as detailed pictures of the brain 575 00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.960 and the eyeballs and books that we see with microscopes. Now. 576 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.239 I think they understood science in the past. I think 577 00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.039 they have understood it for a long long time. And 578 00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.159 I think most of these things are actually suppo to 579 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:03.800 be used on oneself to help them honestly ride the 580 00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:06.639 lightning to have a magical experience. That's why I think 581 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:08.679 a lot of them even help with breathing, to help 582 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:10.840 with the anxiety, with the fear behind of what you're doing, 583 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:14.159 to calm you down. I think an actual ritual to 584 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:18.400 actually have a magical experience, you are committing somewhat temporary suicide. 585 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.119 You want to start changing the world around you and 586 00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.840 start changing other things you're a fucking with black magic. 587 00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:29.000 This stuff is supposed to be used on yourself and 588 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.880 not to change anything else around you, because then you're 589 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:33.800 enforcing your will onto the word. 590 00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:39.239 It's almost like it's almost like it Applying a herb 591 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.880 or a resin or anything like that to a spell, 592 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.679 or integrating into your magical ritual is almost like setting 593 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:48.519 personal intention. 594 00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:50.639 I mean, one thing I'm not even covering on the 595 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.920 show is something I'm going to add which I was 596 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:54.320 going to leave out because I didn't even want to 597 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:56.519 go there, but unfortunately, I think it hammers in what 598 00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:59.800 I wanted to get at. How many spells have all 599 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:02.840 these clients that could possibly kill you that you're putting 600 00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.639 into your potions? It's because you need to die, m h. 601 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.400 Same thing shaman should understand this From people going through 602 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.559 shamanistic work, what do you think they're doing. They're pushing 603 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:15.639 themselves to the edge of debt. 604 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:20.159 Yeah, yeah, it echoes all the way from you know, 605 00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:23.079 whether you're talking to psilocybin experience right, which just is 606 00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:24.599 a concrete. 607 00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:25.960 That's even another thing I'm red including to it. 608 00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:26.280 Ego. 609 00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.199 Ego goes right like it literally goes, you know, the 610 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:30.920 last one. I could think I was waiting for somebody 611 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:32.440 to come get me after I had my tea, or 612 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:33.920 to come meet me, you know, to do to have 613 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.159 tea with me. And I went ahead, and in my 614 00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.960 brain I'm thinking, hey, where is And just in that instant, 615 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.480 my brain goes, what do you mean? Where is somebody else? Who? 616 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.800 How is there somebody else who? And I lose the 617 00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:50.320 ability right, ego goes. But like you said, the shamanistic process, man, 618 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:55.559 is your life right, it's it's it's transmuting the pain. 619 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.239 Right. 620 00:39:56.719 --> 00:40:00.800 It's an alchemy of as you say, yourself right. All 621 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.440 of these things I think, at their heart, of course, 622 00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:06.760 my experience tells me is about yourself, right, no matter 623 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:09.840 how you're coming at any spiritual aspect, which is when 624 00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:12.400 we talk about magic, you know, we're talking about untangible, 625 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.519 We're talking about spirit. Right, It's all about you, right, 626 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:20.440 aiming it at you, transforming you, dying as Nick says, 627 00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.960 right to you to your understanding of everything so that 628 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:27.440 you can't step across that veil, or have that veil finned. 629 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.639 Have what Nick calls a magical experience, have what I 630 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:36.400 might call an afternoon and fourth dimensional consciousness, you know, right. 631 00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:37.880 It's a names for it. Yeah, have the same thing. 632 00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.559 Yeah, it's it's where we're going, you know. And what 633 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.400 we're trying to do and we're doing here is when 634 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.599 we go there, right, when we take our consciousness there, 635 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.639 what happens we put up kind of a scaffolding from 636 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.800 if we want to call it third D consciousness up 637 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.679 to four D or non magical experience to magical. Right, 638 00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:59.480 once I go there, I have that experience, I can 639 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.840 use world is a scaffolding, is how I word it, 640 00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:06.280 to bring my three D consciousness, my non magical experience consciousness, 641 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.840 bring that baseline up closer to what I experience when 642 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:12.800 I'm when I'm having those experiences. Right, So what is 643 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:15.280 my goal this whole time, even when going there. It's 644 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:18.239 so that I bring back to myself, build this scaffolding 645 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:23.000 and raise my own consciousness base level up and I'll 646 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:25.239 stop there. But it's all about what we do with 647 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.800 us to echo next point, not what we we try 648 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.800 to do out there in the world. You know. That's 649 00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:31.840 it's you go. 650 00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:34.840 I mean, that's a lot of ifs for my theory 651 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:36.920 that you have to actually believe people understood this shit 652 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:38.119 in the past, But I do think that. 653 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:42.079 Well, it's how we change, It's how we change guys everything, right, 654 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:43.960 And like Nick said, if you want to change something 655 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:46.719 out there, do you go this short circuit black magic 656 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.119 route or do you take the painful route? 657 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:49.880 Do you go in? 658 00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.159 Do you do the fucking work? Do you do what's 659 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.280 necessary to then find yourself one day through the pain 660 00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:59.039 walking hand in hand with this mystery whatever we want 661 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.760 to label it, right, and walking at a much higher 662 00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:04.760 level because you have personally put in the work to 663 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:05.599 go there, do it? 664 00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:16.000 Sure, the transformative work, transformative platforming, scaffolding, as you said, exactly, yes, yeah, 665 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.599 which is hard work, right, It's all hard work. So 666 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.159 if whatever you need to use to get you there, 667 00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.079 so like if you're taking like a hero dose of psilocybin, 668 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:32.360 or you know, or you think that it's gonna calm 669 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:35.360 your nerves to sniff some lavender, whatever you use to 670 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:40.159 build your scaffolding, right, Which is why I stated in 671 00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:42.639 the beginning that a lot of that stuff, like Nick said, 672 00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:48.159 is it's psychological. It's bolstering your psychological or your mindset 673 00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.280 to prepare you to perform something that you feel is 674 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:53.440 a bit of a feat. 675 00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.320 Right, is the psychological is that the same thing as 676 00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:03.000 the placebo effect that you guys Noah, Yes, just wanted 677 00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:03.960 to make sure I verify. 678 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.760 I understand I. 679 00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:09.400 Would agree with that. Yeah, not like to say that 680 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:12.079 it has no effect isn't really true because they do 681 00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:15.599 have effects, but they're very short lived or they're very minimal. 682 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.159 So for me, my understanding of my experience is that 683 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.039 it's largely psychological. 684 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.159 Well, I was just going to say, because I agree 685 00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:28.079 with both what you guys say and when you say 686 00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.840 psychological and then doesn't have an effect, right, Psychological we 687 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:37.079 know that we have certain CBD and THAC things in 688 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:40.639 our brains, anything that's sent we have the ability within 689 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:43.159 ourselves to do all the dopamine type of stuff that 690 00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:44.480 we want to do on ourselves. 691 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.239 So the smell of it does it activate? 692 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.719 Is that the you know, the trigger that can help 693 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.519 some people that can't do it naturally they need an 694 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:55.960 outside element. Is something that I probably I'm thinking about 695 00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:58.719 I understand better on the concept of what you guys 696 00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.639 are saying, because if I smell, if I take a 697 00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:05.440 jar of marijuana and I smell, I probably would get 698 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.320 that effect of saying, oh, this might help me a 699 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:13.599 little bit, right, and then not necessarily high, but the 700 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.480 like I'm like Sarah, I have a y'all already know 701 00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:18.440 I have a traumatic brain injury. So I get headaches 702 00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.360 all the time, all the time, and I can tell 703 00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:25.280 you certain smells will relieve my headaches for only maybe 704 00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:28.519 five ten minutes, it's not too long, and then the 705 00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.039 intensity it will come back. But it does help a 706 00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.159 little bit if I'm surrounded by certain smells. I spray 707 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:36.760 lavender on my pillows and certain stuff like that when 708 00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:38.000 I'm laying down and going to sleep. 709 00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:40.440 So when I hear the word. 710 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.480 Psychological or the placebo effect, I usually just take it 711 00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.400 as you know, it's an outside element helping me do 712 00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:49.159 something that I can't naturally do within myself. 713 00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:54.960 Well, I would say in Sarah and Tyrone, if you 714 00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.239 have migrains, I have a question for you. That is, 715 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:05.039 it is something that apparently is unescapable unless you take 716 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:09.320 something or use something to minor its effects or it's pain. 717 00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:13.639 But do you experience, for very short periods of time 718 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:18.079 that can be five seconds, it can be three minutes, 719 00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.360 when your mind goes to something and focus on something, 720 00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:24.559 and it's only after that period ends that you realize, oh, 721 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:28.599 I have a headache because during that period it completely 722 00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:32.400 disappears because you've focused on something or something called to 723 00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:35.239 your attention, and it disappears because it happens with me. 724 00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.840 So I realized that the pain is there because I 725 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.159 am having the pain. But I can also completely eradicate 726 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.320 it for if I can do it for short periods 727 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:48.000 of time, if I learn to control that, I can 728 00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:50.840 completely eradicate it for the full time of it. Right, 729 00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:53.599 So it's a bit frustrating that I can't. But do 730 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:58.039 you experience that or is just a constant for me? 731 00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.000 Mine is more constant just because I have a low 732 00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:02.639 blood flow to the right side of my brain, So 733 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:05.639 that's more physical than anything. Like I literally had two 734 00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:09.599 strokes before, so having poor blood to the flow, the 735 00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:11.320 poor blood flow to the rights of my brain is 736 00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:14.079 something that I always feel like I always have pressure 737 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:18.000 over the right side of my eye. But I can 738 00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:21.400 tell you when I meditate, and I do intense meditation, 739 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:24.480 and I do it very hard too, Like I'll sit 740 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:26.079 out there two three hours and I don't do it 741 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.000 when there's any sound around. I do it like two 742 00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.039 three o'clock in the morning, go in the backyard, sitting 743 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:32.360 back and just meditate twenty thirty minutes. 744 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:35.039 It doesn't get rid of my headache, but it helps 745 00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:37.920 me cope better with it. That if that helps you 746 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:39.360 understand like. 747 00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:41.639 A pain, like with a broken arm, you know when 748 00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:43.639 you had a cast on your hand and you could 749 00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:46.280 feel the pain still throbbing a little bit, but it 750 00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:48.599 wasn't too bad. You just could feel it whenever, you know, 751 00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:51.239 basically stood still kind of thing. 752 00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:56.800 I would agree that the problem for me is that 753 00:46:56.840 --> 00:47:00.400 I can't focus on anything else because it literally feels 754 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.559 like someone has an ice pick and a hammer and 755 00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:08.480 they're just forever. So, I mean, the only thing that 756 00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:11.639 really as far as focus, I mean, you're limited on 757 00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.760 what you can you can attempt to focus on because 758 00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:18.119 you have things like photophobia where the lights are just 759 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:22.800 excruciating and sound can be excruciating. The only thing I 760 00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.840 can manage to focus on is music, and it has 761 00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:28.480 to be a specific kind of music, something with like 762 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.760 a repeating pattern, and then I'll focus in on that pattern, 763 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.480 and then that can make some time go by where 764 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:38.519 I'm not just completely miserable, but for the most part, 765 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.199 I'm still just completely miserable. I mean, it gives you 766 00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.119 something to distract yourself with with one two three four 767 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:48.519 one two three four one two three So. 768 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:51.920 Hemmy Sink is really good for that. Hemmy Sink. I 769 00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:54.760 use a lot of programs from him too, I. 770 00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:58.719 Think a lot of I think, Sarah, that what you're 771 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:02.880 saying is explains I probably why you find so many 772 00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.800 Neanderthal skulls and that have holes in them. That they 773 00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:12.679 did surgery too, that archaeologists think it's to relieve pressure or. 774 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:14.199 That's what you feel like you need to do. 775 00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:16.880 So yeah, I need I needed to open right here 776 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.599 because that's that's when it hurts, so open and we've 777 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.400 released the pressure. So I always thought it was because 778 00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.199 of the acause of my migraines. And it reminds me 779 00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:28.360 when I saw the holes, I thought, oh, feeling the 780 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:29.880 pressure open right here. 781 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:33.039 So I know, I wonder if it helped, because I mean, 782 00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:36.119 like when you're in the middle of a migraine episode, 783 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.840 you would do anything to get rid of that. You know, 784 00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:42.480 if someone said eat this dog shit and it'll help you, 785 00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:46.360 I'm gonna eat that dog shit, just not a second 786 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:48.280 thought about it. I'm gonna do it, and there's no 787 00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:51.639 way you can stop me, because you will do anything 788 00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.679 to get rid of it. So it makes me wonder 789 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:55.480 if I could just. 790 00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:01.159 Well it is. It is a tradition in Africa eating coal, 791 00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:05.960 especially when women are pregnant and having pain, they eat coal, 792 00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.840 which is to me is weird because I thought it 793 00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:12.920 was highly toxic but apparently not. So that's one of 794 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:19.039 the things they do for magarines for pain pain. Yeah, 795 00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:20.440 especially when they're pregnant. 796 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:25.079 I get why you would do that. I get why 797 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:29.239 they would do that because like coal, charcoal is used 798 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:34.000 to like purge your body of toxins right in the 799 00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.559 digestive tract. So that does make sense to. 800 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.440 Something realizes everything, and it's think. 801 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:41.840 About actually doing that. It would be so awful that 802 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.639 unless it actually had an effect, a positive effect, would 803 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:47.400 you really do it? 804 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:51.119 So it must be uneficial in the hospital, you know. 805 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:53.920 Yeah, yeah, if you go in and you're you know, 806 00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:57.599 you've drink too much alcohol specifically in that you know, 807 00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:01.239 then they pump your stomach full of liquid charcoal to 808 00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:03.639 purge your system. 809 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:11.639 So yeah, learn that that checks out firsthand. My daughter, 810 00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:14.599 Oh god, that's a negative experience. Yeah, we won't go there, 811 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:18.719 but yeah, they do use charcoal. So like Nikota, let 812 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:20.280 you keep going. But what came to my mind when 813 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:24.199 Sarah was talking about the migraines and riccard Tyrone mentioned 814 00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:27.719 the placebo placebo. I think it can be taken a 815 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.480 couple of ways, right, Because when you look at it 816 00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:37.239 just subjectively, you're you're saying that I a disease or something, 817 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.480 a symptom was cured, but I didn't have the remedy 818 00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:43.840 which you were testing for. Right, So you're saying I 819 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:49.159 cured myself, right, is essentially what a placebo effect is, right, 820 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.280 I gave myself the effect that medication was supposed to 821 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.719 get me. Right, Okay, So if everything, if absolutely everything, Ricardo, 822 00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:01.239 you were talking about the trialogus yesterday, holograph versus simulation. 823 00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:03.920 You know, if we say that word holograph, we're and 824 00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.440 we talk about everything in the physical having its own 825 00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:11.320 not mirror, but aperture, you know, its own appendage in 826 00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.400 the spiritual. Right, where these two are constantly correlating, then 827 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:18.440 we can say that anything going on in the physical 828 00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:21.480 can be addressed in the spiritual. Right, So when you 829 00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:24.320 start tapping into something like you know, Christ or all 830 00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.079 these different various forms of energetic healing, you know, which 831 00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.880 we know from the east, right, what are they addressing. 832 00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:33.719 They're addressing the spiritual manifestation to try to get the 833 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:37.039 physical manifestation. Now, how does that apply to something like 834 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.199 a migraine? Okay, well, if you zoom way out, I've 835 00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.960 got a bad back, right. My back hurts every single 836 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.599 day of my life. Right now, you guys know me 837 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:48.599 as an extremely active, always out there, always on it, right, 838 00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.480 Well I am, but it also always hurts. 839 00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:52.039 Right. 840 00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:54.880 What does that do for me? That does a lot 841 00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:57.159 of things for me. That teaches me to push through pain. 842 00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:01.639 That gives my soul, my spirit aspect, a resilience of strength. 843 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:05.679 It also gives me physically. I learned to push through pain. 844 00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.480 I learned to keep going right, you can see where 845 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:12.440 I'm going. I then my soul, my reflection of my 846 00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:16.320 physical body, picks up all of this training, this understanding. 847 00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.159 I can even take you to the point of like Sarah, 848 00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:20.639 let's say her migrains, right, I don't know how long 849 00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:22.639 she's had them, probably most of her adult life. 850 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:22.840 Right. 851 00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.519 What happens with that migraine. It's sends her somewhere, right, 852 00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:27.880 she can't get up, she can't go. So maybe if 853 00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:30.360 Sarah didn't have migraines. Sarah might be out living some 854 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:33.599 active life doing something that would have not had her 855 00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.119 right here where she is running this podcast with all 856 00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:40.599 of us. Right, so you see how my brain starts 857 00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:42.920 to work and see the correlations of all of this 858 00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:47.960 physical stuff exists for the purpose of spiritual right, so 859 00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:50.639 all of it. I can get the growth effects, you know, 860 00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.599 and I can see them in my life in yours anyway. 861 00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:58.000 So when I go to see here placebo effect, I go, Okay, 862 00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.000 so we're tapping into that spiritual reacs. 863 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:01.039 It's what we're doing. 864 00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:06.920 But it doesn't it doesn't deny the fact that it 865 00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:10.480 is being proven that by the whatever you want to 866 00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:13.239 call it, the placebo effect, the self actuation as I 867 00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:18.280 call it, you can actually control your biasuit. It leads 868 00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:20.840 you to the conclusion that this is a biasuit. This 869 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:25.159 is not you. This is just the interface into this 870 00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:31.559 holographic or simulation or whatever you want to call it. Right, 871 00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:37.159 Because reality is but a quantum entanglement of of elements 872 00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:44.079 that are brought into into reality by the refraction of light. 873 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:48.920 So in itself, the description itself shows us that it's 874 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:53.960 it's like a magical environment. So if by that that 875 00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:59.679 definition alone, if you can see yourself as just interacting 876 00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:06.119 with it instead of being under its rules and regulations, 877 00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:09.920 you can interfere with it. You can change that reality 878 00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:13.559 to yourself at least right. So that's how I see 879 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:17.559 Placeboy fats like the rubber arm experience. How is it 880 00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:21.079 that your body suddenly starts receiving signals from a rubber 881 00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:25.079 arm because you believe it's your own right? So it's 882 00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:29.159 its biology of of of belief by Bruce Lipton is 883 00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:35.360 the morphogenetic field from rupert chldrec all of these things 884 00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:39.840 that are not woo, they are actual science shows us 885 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:44.480 that we can indeed control ourselves, control this body right 886 00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:47.320 to a certain degree. You have wim Hoff, the iceman 887 00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:53.280 that takes this ten people to the hospital with where 888 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:57.440 they are injected with this neurotoxin along with ten other 889 00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:01.639 people that didn't wear into his one week training, and 890 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.400 is ten people get out of the hospital with no symptoms, 891 00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:08.440 no consequences from the neurotoxin, and the ten people that 892 00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:11.159 were injected and had not the training, some of them 893 00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:15.320 were three days in the hospital to get better. So 894 00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:18.639 I think there's something to be learned here. It's a 895 00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.760 bit frustrating that we can control like Sarah cannot say 896 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.719 I want my headache to stop, and it stops, right. 897 00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:27.039 But I believe there is a process where we can 898 00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.679 learn to do that and go above that and control 899 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:30.199 the body. 900 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:36.920 So I think so until like we say, until it's 901 00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.239 done serving its purpose, I mean, we don't, you know, 902 00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:41.079 at the end of the day, know why Sarah has 903 00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:43.719 these headaches, And like I say, it might be to 904 00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:45.960 orchestrate her life in such a way that she's where 905 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:47.559 she needs to be when she needs to be there. 906 00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:52.280 You know. Now some people balk at that, right, but 907 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.320 that has been an answer that's worked for me because 908 00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:58.360 all the things I've done, I've overcome, paigned, I've had 909 00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:01.119 situations I didn't like it as a result, once I 910 00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:04.039 got through that situation, I realized, well, that's why that's 911 00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:06.119 why that ship was there. You know, if that shit 912 00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:07.679 hadn't have been there, I wouldn't have been where I 913 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:10.480 needed to be. But at the end of the day, Ricardo, 914 00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:13.320 I think what you're saying is accurate. Man, if you 915 00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:15.480 can get to a place where you could find what 916 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:18.639 is the what is it in the spiritual that this 917 00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:23.159 thing that has my head aching latching onto right, then 918 00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:27.920 you should theoretically be able to clear it, but I 919 00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:31.480 always run into us. Having complete control over this place 920 00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.000 kind of blows up my dynamic of there being a 921 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:38.719 creator in control, right, And when I'm doing that, I 922 00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:41.599 then can see purpose and plan behind so much of 923 00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:45.079 what we might call suffering, like my back or your head. 924 00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.440 Yeah, but when you were playing an open map game, 925 00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:51.519 there is a creative of the game and you still 926 00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:56.519 have freedom to do whatever you want correct correct, right. 927 00:56:56.480 --> 00:57:00.679 So yeah, it's. 928 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.559 It's when people take this further they go, it's a 929 00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:05.280 simulation within a simulation within a simulation, because we don't 930 00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.920 know how level, how many levels of simulation we are 931 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.480 embedded in, right based reality, right. 932 00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:13.679 Yeah, because that's why I like holograph better, because you know, 933 00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:15.559 holograph just record. 934 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:19.480 As I said yesterday, I believe that the holographic is 935 00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:25.280 the result of the simulation. The simulation creates a holographic scenery. Right. 936 00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:27.519 Instead of trying to choose between one and another, I 937 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.880 think they're both interconnected. Like the simulation is the coding 938 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:34.480 and the holographic is the reality that we experience. That's 939 00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:42.599 how it represents itself. So sorry, we went a little 940 00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.639 bit off track, but you continue because it's you that 941 00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:46.800 is simulating all of this. 942 00:57:48.199 --> 00:57:50.840 Thank you the rules. We'll go on to the rules. 943 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:54.199 The ruse is synonymous with love and beauty in the 944 00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:57.480 world of magic. It's soft pedals and exclusit perfume have 945 00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:01.119 made it an emblem of Venusian energy. Everything to do 946 00:58:01.199 --> 00:58:04.920 with love, from romance to self love, attraction, and emotional healing, 947 00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:08.480 which is a mystic. Use roses in countless ways. Rose 948 00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:11.800 petals sprinkled in a bath to attract love, rosebud and 949 00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:15.639 sachets to promote friendship, rose water to consecrate the altar 950 00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:20.320 with vibrations of peace and harmony. It's typically known roses 951 00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:24.119 are used for love spells, healing, protection, and spiritual connection, 952 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.280 and are considered a conduit for energy and a bridge 953 00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:31.280 between worlds. They are also protective in a gentle way. 954 00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:34.320 For instance, a rose bush planted by the door is 955 00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:39.679 said to keep out envy and intrusion, divination in psychic 956 00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:43.119 wisdom or another aspect. Some traditions anoint the third eye 957 00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:45.360 with rose oil or keep a rose on the table 958 00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:49.800 during tower readings, believing and invites guidance from loving spirits. 959 00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:54.920 And enhances intuition. In angelic or devotional magic, the scent 960 00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.639 of roses is thought to attract angels and benevolent entities. Furthermore, 961 00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:03.000 due to their association with the blessed Mother in Christianity 962 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:07.760 and goddess ishtar and aphrodite, roses carry a spiritual authority 963 00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:11.840 for blessing and consecration. They can sanctify holy water hence 964 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.760 rose water and church rituals, and are used to bless 965 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:19.800 people in ceremonies like handfastings or baby blessings. Darker workings 966 00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:23.800 dried rose thorns can act as subtle banishers or bindings. 967 00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:28.519 Their prickly nature holds or repels, but overwhelmingly the roses 968 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:32.800 magic is positive and healing, which is sometimes meditate on 969 00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:35.480 a mental inner rose blooming in the heart as a 970 00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:40.000 way to awaken self love and psychic sight, with correspondences 971 00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:42.679 to water emotions in Friday, the day of Venus. The 972 00:59:42.760 --> 00:59:46.199 rose is arguably one of the most magical flowers. It 973 00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:50.480 is literally considered a high vibration plant modern energy healers. 974 00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:53.440 Clean roses have one of the highest energetic frequencies of 975 00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:59.159 any herb. Magical correspondences of the rose as a planet, Venus, 976 00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:03.320 delement water. In deities of love Aphrodite, Venus and Eros, 977 01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:07.639 the chakra would be the heart and properties again beloved, friendship, beauty, 978 01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:12.280 psychic protection, luck in love, and prophetic dreams, especially when 979 01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:18.320 combined with mugwort and peace. Neural and psychologic and physiological effects. 980 01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:21.079 The fragrance of roses has a well known calming and 981 01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:24.920 uplifting effect on the human nervous system. Rose essential oil 982 01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:27.800 extracted from rose petals has been studied and found to 983 01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.920 reduce anxiety and promote relaxation with subject inhale rose oil, 984 01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:36.280 they are measurable drops, and there are measurable drops in 985 01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:41.280 blood pressure, breathing rate, and cortisol levels, indicating activation of 986 01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:44.880 the paris sympathetic nervous system and a reduction of the 987 01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:49.320 flight or the fight or flight response. One study found 988 01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:54.519 that rose oil or aromatherapy significantly decreased anxiety and postpartum women, 989 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:58.320 likely through modulation of GABBA or dopamine in the brain 990 01:00:59.239 --> 01:01:01.639 of the sensory love. The scent of rose engages the 991 01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:07.199 olfactory nerve, which relays directly to the olympic system, the hippocampus, 992 01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:10.960 and other parts of the brain. Rose aroma tends to 993 01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:16.559 increase feelings of comfort and decrease stress responses in the amygdilla, 994 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:20.880 partly explaining why it's associated with feelings of love in safety. 995 01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.920 There's also an interesting connection between rose scent and memory, 996 01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:27.800 because many people have positive emotional memories linked to roses, 997 01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.519 gift from loved ones, gardens, et cetera, kind of like 998 01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:35.440 I think what shaman was getting at earlier memories. The 999 01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:40.960 smell can trigger release of oxytocin, the bonding hormone and endorphins, 1000 01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:45.000 giving a mild euphoria of sense of emotional warmth. From 1001 01:01:45.079 --> 01:01:48.679 a cranial nerve perspective, rose interacts chiefly with the c 1002 01:01:48.880 --> 01:01:52.000 on one the ol factory. However, if one applies with 1003 01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:55.599 rose oil to the skin or in a massage, trigeminal 1004 01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:59.280 nerve CN five endings might pick up a slight cooling 1005 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:05.800 or soothing sensation from the lineal or geraneal components. These 1006 01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:10.199 components also have mild painkiller effects. One trial noted that 1007 01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:14.679 rose oil topically reduced menstrual cramp pain, possibly by relaxing 1008 01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:20.760 smooth muscle via the autonomic nerves. Another fascinating aspect the 1009 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:26.239 electro in the EEG pattern associated with rose. Essential inhalation 1010 01:02:26.679 --> 01:02:29.920 shows an increase in alpha and theata ways, indicating a 1011 01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:34.599 relaxed but alert mental state similar to meditation. This aligns 1012 01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:40.639 with rose's use in spiritual practices to elevate conscious consciousness gently. Furthermore, 1013 01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:43.239 a Japanese study found that sleeping in a rose scented 1014 01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:46.280 room led to more reports of pleasant dreams, suggesting rose 1015 01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.599 aroma can influence the content of dreams, perhaps by biasing 1016 01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:55.039 emotional tone towards positive. This might be why folklore claims 1017 01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:58.920 rose under the pillow encourages prophetic or loving dreams. In 1018 01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:01.559 terms of hormonal effing, fact, some small studies hint that 1019 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:04.760 rose oil can reduce adrenaline levels. It maybe increase libido 1020 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:10.639 by lowering stress, linking it to its aphrodisiacs reputation not 1021 01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:14.000 just a symbol, but physically as a relaxant that allows sensuality. 1022 01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:17.760 As for protective qualities, one could argue that by stabling 1023 01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.159 mood and promoting optimism, rose indirectly armours the psyche against 1024 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:26.239 negative thought patterns, which magicians might interpret as warding off 1025 01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:30.719 evil influences. Interestingly, modern research has even looked at a 1026 01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:35.400 rose extract as an antidepressant. In traditional Persian medicine, rose 1027 01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:39.320 was used for melancholy. In some contemporary her herbalist use 1028 01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:44.760 rosa the mascina atract to alleviate depression and grief. It 1029 01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:49.440 appears to interact with serotonin and opioid receptors, producing calm happiness. 1030 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:53.760 In summary, rose affects the brain and body primarily by 1031 01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.800 reducing stress and enhancing emotional well balance being. Its smell 1032 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:01.480 literally communicates you are safe. You are to the olympic system. 1033 01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:04.559 It's a gentle, sedative and mood brightener wrapped in one. 1034 01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:07.960 So when a magical practitioner surrounds herself for himself with 1035 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:10.400 the scent and sight of roses to do a love 1036 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.840 spell or a healing meditation, the roses are biologically helping 1037 01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:19.639 them achieve the necessary emotion's emotional state open, trusting, positive 1038 01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:23.079 for the magic to work. The phrase stop and smell 1039 01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.119 of the roses has wisdom. It activates all criminal nerves 1040 01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:28.360 in a way that forces a pause, a deep breath, 1041 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:30.920 and a smile. On the subtle level, one could say 1042 01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.559 roses at tune our nervous system to the frequency of love. 1043 01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:37.960 On the other literal level, they cause measurable shifts towards 1044 01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:42.840 a calm heart scented physiology. Anybody want to talk on 1045 01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:46.199 rose before I go next? Yeah? 1046 01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:50.440 Is there any any chain, any definition about the callers 1047 01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:51.760 of the roast to be used? 1048 01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:54.920 Or it's no, I probably should have Yeah I did. 1049 01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:57.320 Do you include that with the crystals? I thought about 1050 01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:02.480 doing that with with the herbs myself too, after the fact. 1051 01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:04.360 It's just, you know, I was just like, I don't 1052 01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:07.079 know how many people like I don't know. I guess 1053 01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:08.800 if you're looking at a big bag of it, I mean, 1054 01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:10.239 you know, I don't know how that works. If I'm 1055 01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:12.079 just sprinkling a couple of things on a charcoal. Was 1056 01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:14.480 me looking at that that? I don't know? I don't know, 1057 01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:16.000 But I have thought about looting that. 1058 01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:20.559 Hmm. And and and this is a question for all 1059 01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:26.119 the panel, but maybe Jacqueline knows better. Is that this 1060 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:29.239 is like the dieg or the chicken question. 1061 01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.639 Because exactly what was going to come out of my mouth? 1062 01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:39.480 Let's see, because what comes next? Because we have all 1063 01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:44.360 the end or cabinite receptors, we had the cylocibin receptors, 1064 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:48.320 we have the opioid receptors. So why do we have 1065 01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:53.239 all these receptors that makes us vulnerable to exactly the 1066 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:58.079 substances that you are mentioning. Right, So was it developed 1067 01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:00.960 by the use of those herbs in pre times or 1068 01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:05.880 did it come naturally with our body? Right? In evolutionary terms? 1069 01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:09.239 So to what comes first? 1070 01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.639 Right, Well, you're digging into Look why what came first? 1071 01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:16.159 The what the rose? The effect the rose has? Like 1072 01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:19.119 he said? Right, Okay, Now, why do I give roses 1073 01:06:19.159 --> 01:06:21.639 to my daughter on opening night? Why do I give 1074 01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:24.360 roses to a new woman when I'm meeting her? Right? 1075 01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:27.519 Because I'm wanting the effects he listed. Right. I want 1076 01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:29.599 you to feel safe. I want you to feel comfortable. 1077 01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.360 I want you to feel relaxed, I want you to 1078 01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:35.920 feel loved. Right, So what came first? These effects? Like 1079 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:39.079 he said, so that I would near here as an 1080 01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:40.559 adult give roses to you. 1081 01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:42.159 You see, I mean you can. 1082 01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.199 Get yeah, but I can't understand the process. I can 1083 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:49.400 understand the process of you looking at variety of flowers 1084 01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:51.599 and saying, oh, the rose is pretty. So if it 1085 01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:54.280 is pretty to me, it is pretty to her too, 1086 01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:56.800 or to whatever you want to give it to. Right, 1087 01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:01.280 It doesn't mean that you have the sevy to know 1088 01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:05.039 that he has properties that will make her like you 1089 01:07:05.199 --> 01:07:09.000 more because you're giving her the rose, and that leads 1090 01:07:09.039 --> 01:07:11.760 to the receptors. So what's the origin and what's the 1091 01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:15.480 purpose of those receptors into this BioSuit as we are describing. 1092 01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:19.199 Is it to make us open to this experience? Is 1093 01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:21.880 it to make us vulnerable? It is to make us stronger? 1094 01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:24.719 Maybe it can be used either way. I just find 1095 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:29.159 it funny that we have those receptors into our body, 1096 01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:34.119 and most of the drugs that are considered bad by 1097 01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:39.599 most people, we can produce them naturally by stimulating these receptors. 1098 01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:42.519 So not to mention a lot of drugs that our 1099 01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:46.039 body produced that we can obtain outside of it. 1100 01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:52.320 Well, I would apply a little bit of logic to 1101 01:07:52.719 --> 01:07:57.440 your question and say, if we you know, if you're 1102 01:07:57.480 --> 01:08:02.039 asking about the chicken or the egg, if and I mean, 1103 01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:08.199 I know, I always bring it back to the same substance. 1104 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:11.639 But if you know, somebody thought, hey, what is this 1105 01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:14.679 mushroom you know, ten thousand years ago or one hundred 1106 01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:17.399 thousand years ago, and they took it and it didn't 1107 01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.159 do anything to them. Why if they didn't have the 1108 01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:25.640 receptors to begin with, why would they continuously try to 1109 01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:28.760 take the psilocybin to have a mystical experience if it 1110 01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:34.159 had no effect, So I would say that our skin 1111 01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:40.079 suit came equipped with said receptors because all the things 1112 01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:43.119 we're talking about, first of all, are naturally occurring and 1113 01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:47.880 they're in our environment. So we were equipped with the 1114 01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:54.039 receptors from the beginning, and maybe at some point it 1115 01:08:54.119 --> 01:09:00.880 was an evolutionary beginning to those receptors. But if it 1116 01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:03.000 didn't have an effect, or it didn't you know, if 1117 01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.560 the smelling the roses didn't calm you or make you feel, 1118 01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:09.640 you know, even appreciative of the scent of the rose, 1119 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:13.880 then you wouldn't continue to smell it. That's my answer. 1120 01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:20.960 So we were supposed from the beginning to drug ourselves out. 1121 01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:25.800 Yes, what did you remember the Bill Hicks a bit 1122 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:28.359 the comedian when he's talking about God creating everything and 1123 01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:30.479 he said he's got He's God on stage and he's 1124 01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:32.880 got a handful of marijuana and he goes, oh me, 1125 01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:36.560 oh my, I spilled plot everywhere. Now I've got to 1126 01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:39.399 create Republicans to make it illegal. 1127 01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:53.239 Those pesky Republicans. 1128 01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:56.119 You know. I guess today it could be either it 1129 01:09:56.159 --> 01:09:57.600 was back that was in the eighties when he was. 1130 01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:01.800 But it's still too point of if it's by design, 1131 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:04.159 if I have the receptor in here, if I have 1132 01:10:04.239 --> 01:10:06.600 the receptors in my body, and the only place I 1133 01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:09.880 can acquire that fame for that receptor is in this plant. 1134 01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:13.520 What kind of idiot doesn't see inherent design? Obviously you 1135 01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:16.119 don't believe in the creator. If you don't see that. 1136 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:19.680 Well, they don't understand, Bill Hicks. Part of it's just 1137 01:10:19.720 --> 01:10:21.840 the riot, right man? 1138 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:35.840 Do you want me to continue? All right? This one's 1139 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:41.920 lemon balm. Melissa fishianallis one of my personal favorites. Yeah, yes, 1140 01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:45.800 why Yeah, that lavender was huge, so I'm sure I 1141 01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:50.039 covered those magical uses. It's often called Melissa Greek for 1142 01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:53.640 honeybee or hearts. The light. Lemon balm carries a light, 1143 01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:58.319 bright energy, and magic. Lemon lee mint herb is famed 1144 01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:01.600 for its ability to sue emotional pain and attract gentle love, 1145 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.720 which is used lemon balm and spells to heal from 1146 01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:08.600 Greek grief or heartbreak, For example, drawing a tea of 1147 01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:11.119 lemon balm and rose petals to drink during a waning 1148 01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:15.840 moon ritual, releasing sadness and inviting self love. It is 1149 01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:18.920 said to gladden the heart and was historically used in 1150 01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:22.760 potions to cheer the mind and dispel melancholy and folk magic, 1151 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.199 lemon bamb is associated with positive energy, success and friendship. 1152 01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:29.319 Adding it to sachets or baths is believed to draw 1153 01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:33.680 in good luck and affectionate vibes. Healing and health are 1154 01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:38.720 also part of its domain. Paracelsus, the famous physician and alchemists, 1155 01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:41.199 claimed and a lixir of lemon bam could rejuvenate in 1156 01:11:41.239 --> 01:11:46.119 prolonged life. Consequently, magical practices include lemonbam and healing charms 1157 01:11:46.159 --> 01:11:49.960 to increase vitality and chase away illness. On an energetic level, 1158 01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:53.960 some witches plant lemabam around their home or beehives to 1159 01:11:54.000 --> 01:12:00.159 promote prosperity and healthy pollinators. As a lunar herb, lemonbam 1160 01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:03.199 has a subtle psychic aspect. It can be used to 1161 01:12:03.279 --> 01:12:07.119 enhance intuition and calm the mind for divination. A cup 1162 01:12:07.159 --> 01:12:10.520 of lemon balm tea before scrying or meditating under the 1163 01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:13.680 moonlight is thought to open the third eyes softly, allowing 1164 01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:17.760 gentle visions or intuitive feelings. It's a common ingredient in 1165 01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:21.319 dream pillows. Or psychic vision oils paired with things like 1166 01:12:21.399 --> 01:12:24.960 mugwort and lavender because it raises the vibration but in 1167 01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:29.439 a soothing way. In Hudu and Latin America, lemon balm, 1168 01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:34.239 sometimes called ruda embra, though that can be confused with rue, 1169 01:12:34.600 --> 01:12:37.119 is used in a spiritual is used in spiritual bats 1170 01:12:37.159 --> 01:12:41.520 for love, joy and to attract admirers. It sweetens ones aurora, 1171 01:12:41.920 --> 01:12:46.560 much like sugar and har spell the neural and psych 1172 01:12:46.800 --> 01:12:50.920 physiological effects. Lemon balm is well known in herbal medicines 1173 01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:54.520 for its calming and mo lifting effects, which correlates strongly 1174 01:12:54.560 --> 01:12:58.840 with its magical uses for emotional healing and positivity. Positivity 1175 01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:06.640 from a pharmacologically lemon bomb contains compounds such as rosemrinic acid, citral, 1176 01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:11.680 and geronial. I'm saying that correct these constituents contribute to 1177 01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:17.279 its enzyltic, anxiety reducing and mild sedative effects. Clinical studies 1178 01:13:17.319 --> 01:13:21.479 have demonstrated that lemon balm extract can significantly reduce anxiety 1179 01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:26.520 and improve sleek quality in people with anxiety disorder. It 1180 01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:30.039 appears to our work by modulating gabba receptors in the brain. 1181 01:13:31.039 --> 01:13:37.640 Rosemarinic as acid inhibits the gabba trans transimanes, increasing GABBA availability, 1182 01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:44.439 which promotes calmness, similar to how benzodiazepine drugs increase gabba's effect. Therefore, 1183 01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:48.600 consuming lemon balm, tea or tincture directly soothes the nervous system, 1184 01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:52.840 lowering feelings of stress and agitation. One trial with healthy, 1185 01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:57.119 healthy volunteers found that lemon balm not only reduced subjective anxiety, 1186 01:13:57.119 --> 01:14:02.279 but also improve cognitive task perform mos. Interestingly, it can 1187 01:14:02.319 --> 01:14:06.319 calm you without impairing your thinking. This alert calm is 1188 01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:12.600 likely due to a balance of its colon energic and 1189 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:17.399 gabba urgic effects. Like its relative stage, lemon bomb also 1190 01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:23.720 has some acid acid tilkoline receptor activity. I fucked that up. 1191 01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:27.279 It's been observed to enhance memory and alertness in small doses. 1192 01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:31.920 In fact, a controlled study at Northumbria University in two 1193 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:35.960 thousand and four found improved memory and attention of participants 1194 01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:40.840 who took lemon balm along with increased calmness. So lemon 1195 01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:44.840 Balm's effects on the brain is adaptogenic in a sense 1196 01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:49.840 it can reduce anxiety while boosting cognitive function. There is 1197 01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:53.239 a rare combination that justifies its historical use for uplifting 1198 01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:58.199 the spirit without overstimulation. Lemon bomb also raises serotonin levels 1199 01:14:58.199 --> 01:15:02.119 and animal studies which can explo its mood brightening properties. 1200 01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:06.439 Many people simply feel happier after lemon balm, hence its 1201 01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:11.640 chase melancholic. On a sensory level, lemon balm brightly. Lemon 1202 01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:15.279 Balm's bright lemony scent via the olfactory nerve is invigorating 1203 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:19.680 yet not harsh citral. The lemon scent compound is known 1204 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:25.000 to be mood enhancing us in romatherapy or depression inhaling. 1205 01:15:25.079 --> 01:15:27.960 Lemon balm essential oil can thus produce a quick sense 1206 01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:34.199 of refreshment in slight euphoria. Citrus smells tend to spike dopamine. Meanwhile, 1207 01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:37.199 the undertone of mint it's in the mint family, is 1208 01:15:37.239 --> 01:15:41.600 a gentle cooling aspect through the trigeminal nerve some menthol presence, 1209 01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:47.079 so lemon balm aroma might simultaneously be calm via trigenal 1210 01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:51.920 cooling and uplift via ol factory citrus. Regarding the heart 1211 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:56.760 and body, lemon balm has mild cardiotropic effects. It's traditionally 1212 01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:59.680 used to slow and over rapid heartbeat and lower blood 1213 01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:04.680 pressure and anxious states. Scientific research supports that lemon balm 1214 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:08.279 can cause a modest reduction in blood pressure and heart 1215 01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:15.720 rate by calming sympathetic nervous activity, likely through barrel receptor reflects, 1216 01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:20.920 by reducing anxiety. It is also anti spasmodic on smooth muscles, 1217 01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.760 so it relieves stomach cramps and mestral cramps. Trying to 1218 01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:29.359 tying to its nurturing aspect, comforting physical pain as well 1219 01:16:29.399 --> 01:16:33.520 as emotional. These effects are mediated by peripheral nerves, including 1220 01:16:33.560 --> 01:16:38.880 the vagus nerve. By increasing vagial tone parisympathetic activity, lemon 1221 01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:42.319 balm helps relax the gut and uterus. It's no wonder. 1222 01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:44.960 A warm lemon balm tea is a folk remedy for 1223 01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:49.000 tummy aches and a calming tonic before bed. Gently encourages 1224 01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:55.399 digestive via vagial stimulation, often relieving indigestion that's to stress. 1225 01:16:56.680 --> 01:17:00.880 Another notable effect. Lemon balm has some anti viral properties, 1226 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:04.159 especially against herpes virus and a topical use as well 1227 01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:09.840 as antibacteria antibacterial due to citral and other compounds. Applied 1228 01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:14.680 as a huh, but as a salve, it can help 1229 01:17:15.119 --> 01:17:19.000 cold source heels or however you say that lemon bomb 1230 01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:22.119 also reduces the time to fall asleep and improves sleep quality, 1231 01:17:22.279 --> 01:17:27.159 likely by its gabbar urgic sedation and anxiety relief. This 1232 01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:30.920 complements its lunar association in magic, aiding RESTful sleep and 1233 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:36.560 possibly encouraging dreams. As for cognitive dream states, lemon bom 1234 01:17:36.760 --> 01:17:39.960 likely doesn't induce the vivid, intense dreams that mugwort might, 1235 01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:43.840 but rather softens nightmares and allows more peaceful dream narratives, 1236 01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:49.439 reflecting its gentle positivity. Summarizing lemon balm's neurological impact is 1237 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:54.119 largely tranquilizing and mood normal gently slows and overactive mind, 1238 01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:57.840 lifts a depressed mind and sharpens a foggy mint, essentially 1239 01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:04.000 restoring balance. Chemically, it's doing this by influencing gabba for calm, 1240 01:18:04.119 --> 01:18:08.319 as a choline for memory, and possibly serotonin dopamine for mood. 1241 01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:12.119 It's quiet elegant. It's quite elegant that an herb used 1242 01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:14.960 for emotional healing and love literally causes your brain to 1243 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:20.560 feel safe, lowered anxiety, and feel content elevated mood, which 1244 01:18:20.600 --> 01:18:24.520 are prerequisites for embracing love and joy. The way it 1245 01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:28.039 lowers stress markers would correspond in magical thinking to banishing 1246 01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:30.960 dark influences from the heart, and the way it improves 1247 01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:35.079 cognitive clarity would equate to bringing light and understanding. It's 1248 01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:38.239 also gentle enough not to cause radical shifts, fitting for 1249 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:43.079 an herb of gentle renewal rather than drastic transformation. Lemon 1250 01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:45.680 balm is the subtle friend that over time rebuilds a 1251 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:50.000 battered spirit by quieting the fear centers amygdala and nudging 1252 01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:54.439 the pleasure centers nucleus accumbance, et cetera. Thus, the nerves 1253 01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:58.520 literally find relief from tension and can resume normal, healthy function, 1254 01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:04.680 which we perceive as hope and cheerfulness. Attorney anything before 1255 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:05.079 I move. 1256 01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:10.079 On, Yeah, I would say that every pretty much any 1257 01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:18.760 formulation that would be recommended for a woman pre approaching 1258 01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:24.880 and post metopausal like, they always include Melissa officiallys for sure, 1259 01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.079 pretty much every single one I've ever read about.

Saint John's Ward. 1295 01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:47.880 Saint John's Ward has a long history of use in 1296 01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:51.680 folk magic, especially for protection and banishment of evil and 1297 01:21:51.760 --> 01:21:55.239 European folklore, was often hung above doorways or icons to 1298 01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:59.239 ward off maligned maloine spirits. One Latin nickname for it 1299 01:21:59.560 --> 01:22:05.359 it is a fuga ammonium, meaning demon flight, reflecting its 1300 01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:10.039 reputed power to drive away devils. Traditionally harvested around Midsummer 1301 01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:13.359 Saint John's Day, its bright yellow flowers were said to 1302 01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:16.399 embody the power of the sun. Bringing the fresh blossoms 1303 01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:19.840 into the home on Midsummer's Eve was thought to confer 1304 01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:24.199 protective and good fortune, which is in Healers also carried 1305 01:22:24.239 --> 01:22:27.279 Saint John's Wart as a protective talisman against hexes and 1306 01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:32.199 ill wishes. Burning Saint John's wart and bundles produces a 1307 01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:35.880 purifying smoke. The dry herb was and still is burned 1308 01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:40.000 to banish negativity and evil influences from a space. A 1309 01:22:40.039 --> 01:22:43.199 modern rich craft, it's associated with the element of fire 1310 01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:47.119 and the summer sun, used in spells to invoke courage, happiness, 1311 01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:50.920 and strength. In short, Saint John's wart has been regarded 1312 01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:55.159 as a bright guardian herb, simultaneously a physical wound healer 1313 01:22:55.199 --> 01:23:01.399 and a spiritual protector capable of dispelling darkness neurological effects. 1314 01:23:02.119 --> 01:23:05.319 The venerable reputation of Saint John's wort as a bomb 1315 01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:08.640 for the nerves and lines with its scientifically observed effects 1316 01:23:08.640 --> 01:23:12.359 on the nervous system. Additionally, is the most famous as 1317 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:17.680 an herbal, antidepressant, and solitic. Bio Chemical studies show that 1318 01:23:17.720 --> 01:23:21.439 extracts of Saint John's wort inhibit a re uptake of 1319 01:23:21.560 --> 01:23:32.479 several neurotransmitters serotonin, nor repinephrine, dopamine, GABBA, and glutamate, and 1320 01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:36.880 even modulate receptors expression. In particular interest, it has an 1321 01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:41.880 effect on the vegus nerve, the major parasympathetic nerve connecting 1322 01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:46.199 brainstem to heart, lungs, and gut. Research has demonstrated that 1323 01:23:46.239 --> 01:23:50.640 Saint John's wort can enhance aagal nerve activity. In vitro, 1324 01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:55.600 experiments found the herb increases lutamate release from vagile nerve 1325 01:23:55.720 --> 01:23:59.600 endings in the brain's nucleus of the solitary tract, effectively 1326 01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:04.479 boost vegel neurotransmission. This suggests that Saint John's Wart can 1327 01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:11.000 activate parasympathetic pathways that regulate homeostasis, heart rate, and digestin, 1328 01:24:11.680 --> 01:24:16.880 which may partly explain its calming, mood stabilizing influence. Clinically, 1329 01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:21.359 Saint John's Wart has been used to relieve neualgia, nerve pain, 1330 01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:26.800 and reduce anxiety. Intention. The herb's active compound hyperform appears 1331 01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:33.680 to contribute to its antidepressive effect by increasing neurotransmitter availability. Thus, 1332 01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.239 Saint John's Wort not only chases away demons in a 1333 01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:40.399 metaphorical sense, but also alleviates in a darkness by acting 1334 01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:44.640 on the central nervous system by enhancing vagus nerve signaling 1335 01:24:44.720 --> 01:24:48.640 and modulating neurochemistry, and induces a state of calm and optimism, 1336 01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:51.319 consistent with its role in magic as a bringer of 1337 01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:56.640 light and protection. Modern research continues to explore Saint John's 1338 01:24:56.640 --> 01:25:00.720 wort neuropharmacology but it's clear this magical herb doubles as 1339 01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:05.359 a nervine uplifting rood, soothing the anxious mind and perhaps 1340 01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:11.520 even strengthening the automic balance via the vegas earth. All right, 1341 01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:16.520 I'm good on that pretty much. To say anything, I'll 1342 01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:20.520 move on to the mandrake. It's another one of my favorites. 1343 01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:25.159 The mandrake. Mandrake is one of the most iconic plants 1344 01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:28.880 in witchcraft. Shrouded and legend in fear, its forked root 1345 01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:31.560 often resembles a human figure, which led to the famous 1346 01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:34.119 myth that when pulled from the ground, it would admit 1347 01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:37.640 a deadly scream, a folk lore motive dating back to 1348 01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:42.840 at least Josephus in the first century, and repeated by 1349 01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:47.000 Iron Maiden in Moonchild here the Mandrake scream. In medieval Europe, 1350 01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:50.359 mandrake roots were prized as a powerful magical talisman. The 1351 01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:53.319 whole mandrake roots, sometimes carved into a human shape if 1352 01:25:53.439 --> 01:25:56.600 nature's form was lacking, might be kept as a household 1353 01:25:56.720 --> 01:26:00.760 charm for prosperity and protection, even fed with offerings. As 1354 01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:05.279 a familiar spirit, mandrake was a key ingredient in many 1355 01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:09.840 flying ointment recipes, solves that which is apply to induce 1356 01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:15.800 trans states, astro projection, or visionary flights. These ointments capitalize 1357 01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:21.840 on Mandrake's entheogenic vision, inducing tropine alkaloids to produce mind 1358 01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:26.800 altering experiences. In ancient Mediterranean cultures, mandrake roots were used 1359 01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:30.680 as aphrodisiacs and fertility charms. It appears in the Bible's 1360 01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:34.680 Book of Genesis thirty fourteen as a fertility eight. During 1361 01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:39.319 the Renaissance, cunning folk with prepared mandrake emulets, often called 1362 01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:43.159 al rooms in German folklore, said to bring great riches 1363 01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:47.039 and serve their owner as a magical servant. Now, the 1364 01:26:47.119 --> 01:26:50.800 neurological effects the extraordinary myths around mandrake are rooted in 1365 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:57.279 a very real physiological effect. Mandrake contains tropaine. I'm saying 1366 01:26:57.319 --> 01:27:06.159 that correctly alkaloids, notably hiocene, scopalamine, atropine, and others, which 1367 01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:14.119 are powerful delirium hallucinagens and anti cholinergic agents. These compounds 1368 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:18.920 act on the nervous system in profound ways. Scopal scopolamine, 1369 01:27:19.039 --> 01:27:26.840 and atropine block acidicaline receptors, specifically muscarinic receptors through the body, 1370 01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:31.720 inducing including in the brain and in the parasynthetic nervous system. 1371 01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:35.640 The result is a host of neurological and autonomic effects, 1372 01:27:35.680 --> 01:27:40.760 often dubbed belladonna delirium. Mandrake is the night shade family 1373 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:47.720 along with Belladonna. Physiologically, Mandrake's alkaloids can impair several cranial 1374 01:27:47.920 --> 01:27:54.039 nerve functions by inhibiting parasympathetic signaling. For instance, blocking the 1375 01:27:54.199 --> 01:27:59.880 ocula okalomotor nerve third one outputs causes pupils to dilate 1376 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:04.159 and accommodation to be lost. Atropine was historic. It was 1377 01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:10.279 historically used to dilate pupils on safely blocking facial uh 1378 01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:17.239 via the seventh and also had these words glossal uh 1379 01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:20.039 phar and egal or whatever I'm saying that wrong. The 1380 01:28:20.159 --> 01:28:26.840 ninth nerve nerve para parasympathetic fibers reduce reduces salvation, so 1381 01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:29.199 you get dry mouth as a classic symptom of mandrake. 1382 01:28:29.239 --> 01:28:32.359 Poisoning and blocking the vegus nerve can raise heart rate 1383 01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:40.920 and inhibit digestive peristola peristalsis, and higher doses Mandrake alkaloids 1384 01:28:41.079 --> 01:28:46.039 cross into central nervous system, causing hallucinations, confusions, and sedation. 1385 01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:51.920 Users of whichcraft flying potions would experience vivid hallucinations, often 1386 01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.239 feeling as if they were flying or entering of the 1387 01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:59.319 worldly realms due to Mandrake's action on the brain neurotransmission transmitters. 1388 01:29:00.399 --> 01:29:07.399 Mandrake was also used as a soporific anesthetic and ancient medicine. 1389 01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:10.920 The Assyrians, Greeks and others use Mandrake extracts to induce 1390 01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:15.840 deep sleep for surgery or anestes. This points to Mandrake's 1391 01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:19.319 the present effect on the central nervous system at appropriate dosages, 1392 01:29:20.039 --> 01:29:25.600 likely involving suppression of neural firing and pain pathways. Notably, 1393 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:30.960 scopalamine has an anti antiemetic and calming effect on the 1394 01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:35.720 vestibular system associated with the cranial nerve eight, which is 1395 01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:38.960 why scopalamine from a relative plant is used in modern 1396 01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:43.239 motion sickness patches, and Mandrake's case, a dose sufficient to 1397 01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:47.399 calm a sedate could easily lead to toxicity. Symptoms of 1398 01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:52.680 mandrake poisoning include dizziness, vision disturbances, dry mucous membranes, rapid heartbeat, 1399 01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:58.680 and unconsciousness. Reflecting its broad neurological impact. In essence, mandrake 1400 01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:03.800 can hijack doautonomic nerves. It powerfully inhibits the parasympathetic parasympathetic 1401 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:08.199 outflow the vegas nerve included, while also causing delirium veria 1402 01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:14.520 central cholinergic blockage. The flight experienced by witches may have 1403 01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:19.039 been their minds reacting to vestibular disconnect and halluciness hallin 1404 01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:24.279 hallucinations caused by Mandrake. Mandrake's power over life and death 1405 01:30:24.399 --> 01:30:28.720 and magic mirrors its pharmacology reality. The same route that 1406 01:30:28.760 --> 01:30:31.680 can number pain and bring on dream like trances can 1407 01:30:32.319 --> 01:30:37.720 in overdose, race, arrest of vegas controlled functions like respirations, 1408 01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:38.840 and be lethal. 1409 01:30:41.840 --> 01:30:45.079 So I was hearing you and this pop into my 1410 01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:50.119 mind at the beginning. Could it be that the Venus 1411 01:30:50.119 --> 01:30:54.119 figurines are somewhat related to the Mandrake roots, because there's 1412 01:30:54.359 --> 01:30:55.880 sometimes they look very similar. 1413 01:30:58.439 --> 01:30:59.159 They say that again. 1414 01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:02.640 I'm sorry the Venus, the Venus figurines, that the entrance 1415 01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:09.479 statues of Stone of the Fat Ladies, they look like 1416 01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:16.920 some Mandray crews I've seen. If there is some connection there. 1417 01:31:19.079 --> 01:31:20.640 I've never put that together before. 1418 01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:24.159 M somebody get nixt some ginger. 1419 01:31:24.720 --> 01:31:28.840 Yeah, I hit the wrong I hit the wrong new 1420 01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:30.279 button to but. 1421 01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.600 It could be a symbol of of of magic of 1422 01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.159 ritual because of the of the sense that it has. 1423 01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:38.680 I never thought of it as look at it as 1424 01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:40.680 a female as just so there's like a hangman or 1425 01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:41.560 a stick fingers. 1426 01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:47.239 A quick question, Nick, So, after listening to that horrific 1427 01:31:47.399 --> 01:31:51.600 list of not quite deadly effects, what are some of 1428 01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:54.800 the actual practical applications of man drake. 1429 01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:58.119 I have heard people burning it like in an incense 1430 01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:02.520 or actually just putting it on their old Okay, yeah, 1431 01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:06.479 I've never heard of anybody ingesting it. I mean, I 1432 01:32:06.680 --> 01:32:08.479 I be honest. I had bandrink in the past and 1433 01:32:08.520 --> 01:32:10.039 I threw it on truckle makes an insht. 1434 01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:12.640 I didn't know what the Yeah, it's not something that 1435 01:32:12.680 --> 01:32:15.359 you find in a lot of formulations. 1436 01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:17.600 Or any that I know is a rarer one. 1437 01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:21.279 Yeah, that I can think of in particular. What I 1438 01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:24.479 do know about it is that the dose, like the 1439 01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:30.199 dosage range between having an effect that is non toxic 1440 01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:35.159 and one that is toxic is very small. Yeah, like wow, 1441 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:39.920 So the amount that you need it would probably probably 1442 01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:43.680 be based on like how you're adjusting it and based 1443 01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:48.279 on your weight and the amount that is safe to 1444 01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:52.279 ingest versus the amount that is unsafe to ingest is 1445 01:32:52.560 --> 01:32:56.560 likely very very very close. So it's probably not something 1446 01:32:56.560 --> 01:33:01.239 you want to be messing around with. That's my thoughts. 1447 01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:08.359 Yeah, for sure. How much how much some of we got? 1448 01:33:08.399 --> 01:33:10.640 Maybe I do one more. I don't know how much? 1449 01:33:10.680 --> 01:33:12.199 How much? How much more you want me to go on? 1450 01:33:14.399 --> 01:33:15.399 We got thirty minutes? 1451 01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:18.600 Yeah, all right, you know what I'm gonna do. High Sup. 1452 01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:20.239 It was one that was gonna leave out. It's a 1453 01:33:20.239 --> 01:33:22.560 little longer one, but it's actually one of my favorite 1454 01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:25.039 and I used to use it all the time, and 1455 01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:27.520 I think it interestingly is the reason I even picked 1456 01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:30.279 it up is that it was in one of Croley's works, 1457 01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:32.880 and the guy literally is taking a quote out of 1458 01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:34.960 the Bible when he uses it too. I don't even 1459 01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:36.119 think half the people realize that. 1460 01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:39.279 They usually don't. 1461 01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:44.079 Yeah, high Sup. Again. It's known as a biblical purifying 1462 01:33:44.119 --> 01:33:47.960 and remover of negativity. And this is exactly part of 1463 01:33:48.039 --> 01:33:50.800 what I would use say when I would use this stuff, 1464 01:33:51.319 --> 01:33:53.279 Purge me with high Sap, and I shall be clean, 1465 01:33:53.720 --> 01:33:57.960 says Psalm fifty one, encapsulating High Sup's millennial old reputation 1466 01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:02.439 as the premiere herb of spiritual puretion and biblical and 1467 01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:05.439 folk tradition, high sup is used to cleanse and consecrate. 1468 01:34:06.279 --> 01:34:08.840 Was referenced as being dipped in holy water or blood 1469 01:34:08.880 --> 01:34:12.720 to sprinkle to sprinkle door posts in the Old Testament Exodus, 1470 01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:16.840 protecting the Hebrews during Passover. Thus, high sup became a 1471 01:34:16.840 --> 01:34:20.920 symbol of purification from sin or evil. Today, magicians and 1472 01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:24.000 root workers rely on high sup and rituals of uncrossing, 1473 01:34:24.479 --> 01:34:28.800 hext breaking and ritual cleansing and hudoo. Hsup is the 1474 01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:33.079 main ingredient in the famous thirteenth herbath for spiritual purification, 1475 01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:36.880 especially after one has engaged in negative deeds or performed 1476 01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:41.520 corusive performed coercive magic. One bathe is in high sup 1477 01:34:41.560 --> 01:34:44.760 infusion praying Psalm fifty one to remove spiritual dirt and 1478 01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:48.920 regain God's favor. High sup can be added to scrub 1479 01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:54.840 water to literally and spiritually clean floors and walls of temples. 1480 01:34:55.359 --> 01:34:58.239 It's common use. It's common to use high up in 1481 01:34:58.319 --> 01:35:01.600 water to wash magical implements or to add to laundry 1482 01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:06.439 for ritual garments, believing it diffuses them with holiness. Likewise, 1483 01:35:06.479 --> 01:35:09.079 burning highs up as an incense or carrying a high 1484 01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:12.600 sup sachet is thought to ward off evil and negativity, 1485 01:35:12.720 --> 01:35:16.600 almost akin to a spiritual disinfecting. Because high sup has 1486 01:35:16.640 --> 01:35:19.920 strong religious connotation, it is often used when one seeks 1487 01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:23.399 forgiveness or blessing. Practitioners might taste a height take a 1488 01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:27.359 high sup bad after casting a nasty spell to cleanse 1489 01:35:27.359 --> 01:35:30.960 any comic residue. Wickens may use high up to ritually 1490 01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:33.920 purify a circle, or if they feel a malevolent presence 1491 01:35:34.039 --> 01:35:38.239 needs to be banished gently. Some sources say a state 1492 01:35:38.319 --> 01:35:41.279 high sup is good for protection of the home, growing 1493 01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:44.000 it around the property, or hanging dried high sup in 1494 01:35:44.680 --> 01:35:48.600 sachets by windows by windows is said to keep out 1495 01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:54.279 on clean spirits. In solemonic magical tradition, high sup was 1496 01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:58.359 used to sprinkle lustrial water to sanctify the altar and circle, 1497 01:35:58.680 --> 01:36:03.920 again highlighting that as pure as hiesub. It's worth noting 1498 01:36:04.119 --> 01:36:07.000 historically that the highs above the Bible might have been 1499 01:36:07.039 --> 01:36:10.800 a different plant, possibly Syrian oregano, but the occult tradition 1500 01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:14.520 has long identified common high sup. It was the biblical one, 1501 01:36:14.960 --> 01:36:19.079 and the energetic signature is considered similar. Aromatic and cleansing 1502 01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:23.680 magical correspondences list highs up as a Mars herb due 1503 01:36:23.680 --> 01:36:26.840 to its disinfectant and vanishing quality, but with a jerputer 1504 01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:32.039 a Jupiter overtone spiritual grace and forgiveness, perhaps explaining why 1505 01:36:32.039 --> 01:36:35.880 it both casts out on cleanness Mars and invites divine 1506 01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:40.760 blessing Jupiter. Astrologically, some align it with Sagittarius, the sign 1507 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:45.159 of spiritual principles and cleansing fire. Many covens add high 1508 01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:48.079 sup oil to their holy water to incorporate hyesup in 1509 01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:54.680 the sprinkler to consecrate circles. The neuro andphysiological effects why 1510 01:36:54.800 --> 01:36:57.720 high sup is less studied than while hasup is less 1511 01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:00.680 studied than many common herbs. It shares proper with other 1512 01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:04.720 aromatic Mediterranean herbs like sage time or regano that allow 1513 01:37:04.840 --> 01:37:08.399 some educated guesses In a few known facts. Chemically, h 1514 01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:13.479 sub contains of volatile oil, including pina camphone I'm saying 1515 01:37:13.560 --> 01:37:18.600 that right through drone camphor siniol, among others. These components 1516 01:37:18.640 --> 01:37:21.520 suggest high sup is a stimulate, a stimulate in small 1517 01:37:21.520 --> 01:37:29.159 doses and potentially convulsant in very high doses if overused. Historically, 1518 01:37:29.239 --> 01:37:33.880 high sup oil causes seizures in animals at high concentrations. However, 1519 01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:36.720 in the mild forms it's used bathing, in sense and tea. 1520 01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:39.920 Higesep's effect is to act as a mild, nerving and 1521 01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:44.239 decongested The scent of high sup is herbaceous in camphors 1522 01:37:44.720 --> 01:37:48.239 Inhaling high sup via incense or stream inhalation can clear 1523 01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.960 the sinuses and give a sense of easy breathing and alertness, 1524 01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:56.319 similar to how eucalyptus or camphor perks one up. This 1525 01:37:56.359 --> 01:38:00.880 would stimulate trigeminal nerve endings in the nasal cabin strongly, 1526 01:38:01.640 --> 01:38:04.359 which has the effect of sharpened detention and a feeling 1527 01:38:04.399 --> 01:38:07.560 of freshness. If one is fatigued or the mind is clouded, 1528 01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:11.439 hysops aroma can cut through the mental fog, momentarily increasing 1529 01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:14.960 heart rate and blood flow. This correlates to the idea 1530 01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:19.840 of clearing away negativity. Physically, it's clearing brain flog, brain fog, 1531 01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:24.479 and maybe mild headaches. As camphor orphan relieves tension headaches 1532 01:38:24.560 --> 01:38:28.479 via its counter irritant action of the trigemical nerve on 1533 01:38:28.520 --> 01:38:32.119 the olympic system. Hysops Aroma may not be universally pleasant. 1534 01:38:32.479 --> 01:38:35.640 It's a bit medicinal, but to those who like it, 1535 01:38:35.640 --> 01:38:39.000 it could evoke feelings of cleanliness and safety, which could 1536 01:38:39.079 --> 01:38:44.880 reduce amygdala hyperactivity less fear less anxiety. No direct studies 1537 01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:47.840 on ISoP for anxiety exist to my knowledge, but many 1538 01:38:47.840 --> 01:38:49.920 herbs and the same family and the mint family do 1539 01:38:50.159 --> 01:38:56.960 have a theiolotic properties. Antioltic properties. High sept was traditionally 1540 01:38:57.039 --> 01:39:00.279 used for respiratory issues. It can help suppress costs and 1541 01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:03.319 loosened phlegm, so drinking high SUP or breathing it in 1542 01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:07.199 not only symbolically cleanses cleanses your lungs, that literally does 1543 01:39:07.520 --> 01:39:11.039 some To an extent. This lung clarity can translate to 1544 01:39:11.119 --> 01:39:14.279 a subjective feeling of relief and more oxygen, improving brain 1545 01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:19.079 function and mood. Penal camphone, if I'm saying that correctly 1546 01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:23.439 a pinocamphone is somewhat anti spasmodic, which could help relieve 1547 01:39:23.520 --> 01:39:27.479 muscle tension, again contributing to an overall sense of release. 1548 01:39:29.279 --> 01:39:34.039 High SEP's anti microbile qualities are notable. It affects against 1549 01:39:34.039 --> 01:39:37.399 certain bacteria and fungi. Using high SUP in a flow 1550 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:41.560 wash or as a skin wash likely genuine likely genuinely 1551 01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:46.560 reduces microbio load, thus purifying in a literal sense. This 1552 01:39:46.600 --> 01:39:49.159 could reduce a source of infection which could cloud the 1553 01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:53.960 mind via inflammation. A modern terms, lowering chronic pathogen load 1554 01:39:54.000 --> 01:39:57.600 can improve more mood and cognitive clarity. Now, if we 1555 01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:01.039 think of neurotransmitters, high sup has been studied for direct 1556 01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:05.439 receptor interactions like some herbs, but given it's in the 1557 01:40:05.479 --> 01:40:09.479 mint family, one might speculate some gabbarigic effect is mild 1558 01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:14.960 or adrenaline modulation. Its effect profile modually stimulating but also 1559 01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:19.720 relieving when used in warmth, suggested by phasic action. By 1560 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:24.920 phasic action at the first bit of stimulation, increase alertness, 1561 01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:29.479 maybe mild adrenaline release from the trigeminal joke, followed by 1562 01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:34.720 relaxation as the body acclimates and peripheral circulation improves. Perhaps 1563 01:40:34.760 --> 01:40:39.000 then parasympathetic rebound. This is similar to how a cleansing 1564 01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:42.439 cry or brisk shower can invigorate then relax you deeply. 1565 01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:45.640 Fitting for ISSOP, which is used in water for that 1566 01:40:45.880 --> 01:40:50.880 exact emotional dynamic, First you might tremble as negativity is 1567 01:40:50.920 --> 01:40:54.760 confronted adrenaline flush, then you feel deeply calm as it 1568 01:40:54.920 --> 01:41:01.119 washes away parasympathetic relief. High SUPs psychological actions online with 1569 01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:06.239 its cleansing banishing magical persona. It clears airways, vanishing in congestion, 1570 01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:12.800 stimulates alertness, banishing mental cloud kills germs, vanishing impurity, relaxes 1571 01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:16.520 muscle and smooth muscle, banishing physical tension or negativity held 1572 01:41:16.520 --> 01:41:20.239 in the body, and possibly calms after stimulation and granting 1573 01:41:20.279 --> 01:41:23.720 peace if the sin is banished. The ritual aspect of 1574 01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:27.119 sprinkling or bathing likely leverages the fact that cool water 1575 01:41:27.199 --> 01:41:30.359 and hyges up on skin trigger nerve endings that induced 1576 01:41:30.399 --> 01:41:34.880 a slight shock followed by calm, essentially resetting the nervous system, 1577 01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:38.680 much like a baptism's cold water might. Indeed, from a 1578 01:41:38.720 --> 01:41:41.800 sensory perspective, being sprinkled by high sub bundle and a 1579 01:41:41.840 --> 01:41:46.880 cool holy water would activate a lot of cutaneous nerves. Suddenly. 1580 01:41:47.479 --> 01:41:50.319 The initial shot could momentarily blank out your thoughts, much 1581 01:41:50.399 --> 01:41:52.680 like a splash of water to the face interrupts whatever 1582 01:41:52.680 --> 01:41:55.840 you're thinking, providing a clean slate. And then as you 1583 01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:58.680 feel the water trickling descent of hyes up and take 1584 01:41:58.720 --> 01:42:02.960 a deep breath, natural transitioning into a calmer state. This 1585 01:42:03.159 --> 01:42:06.720 moll psychological mini reset of the nervous system is perhaps 1586 01:42:06.720 --> 01:42:11.079 one reason such rituals subjectively feel effective. The harness and 1587 01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:16.760 involuntary nerve reflex to symbolically achieve the desired mental state, 1588 01:42:17.960 --> 01:42:21.800 and then thus the hyup's power is partly a suggestion, yes, 1589 01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:26.000 but underpinned by real sensory and neural triggers. It's fascinating 1590 01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:28.399 and poetic that the pleas of ancient texts to be 1591 01:42:28.439 --> 01:42:31.439 cleansed with hyesup coincide with a nerve that can truly 1592 01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:35.760 cleanse the body and mind in measurable ways. In conclusion, 1593 01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:39.119 hysop engages our nerves in a purging and resetting process, 1594 01:42:39.680 --> 01:42:43.279 a quick stimulation than a clearing calm. Analogist to spiritual 1595 01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:47.239 purifications arc effacing the negativity, then it's spelling it and 1596 01:42:47.279 --> 01:42:51.239 finding stillness. The result is a person who literally feels lighter, 1597 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:55.920 breathes easier, and has a clearer mind, paralleling paralleling the 1598 01:42:55.960 --> 01:43:00.760 spiritual feeling of being absolved and protected and protected. Hies 1599 01:43:00.840 --> 01:43:03.840 up is a sterling example of an herb whose legendary 1600 01:43:03.880 --> 01:43:08.479 magical effects a line uncannily with its neural uh neural 1601 01:43:08.800 --> 01:43:12.520 physical actions. The herbs of the Bible knew their stuff. 1602 01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:14.000 Uh. 1603 01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:16.680 Anybody want to say anything on that one. I was saying, 1604 01:43:17.800 --> 01:43:18.560 look a different way. 1605 01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:22.039 I've used a I had a bad lung infection a 1606 01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:24.960 lot of phlegm, like the gross kind. We've all had it, 1607 01:43:25.000 --> 01:43:28.079 so we know what I'm talking about. And used an 1608 01:43:28.119 --> 01:43:33.520 elderberry and high sep cough expectorant And it's no joke. 1609 01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:37.760 It works so good. It worked. It was so fast, 1610 01:43:38.119 --> 01:43:39.479 like you know when you get a cold and you 1611 01:43:39.560 --> 01:43:43.199 go or like an infection and you get something from 1612 01:43:43.239 --> 01:43:45.119 the doctor. They give it antibiotic and it takes a 1613 01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:47.000 couple of days for it to really kind of loosen 1614 01:43:47.039 --> 01:43:50.159 it and go that this cough syrup that I found 1615 01:43:50.239 --> 01:43:53.039 that I used, it was like I was up all 1616 01:43:53.079 --> 01:43:56.159 through the night, but by the morning my chest was clear, 1617 01:43:57.479 --> 01:44:00.600 like so it was super It's super effective. So it 1618 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:04.960 doesn't surprise me that the like, given the medicinal properties 1619 01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:08.960 that it has, that it's equated with a herb that 1620 01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:13.479 clears or cleans or you know, people use it ritually 1621 01:44:13.520 --> 01:44:17.920 as a way to clear a space. Definitely definitely lines 1622 01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:18.439 up for me. 1623 01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:24.760 Nick, can you give me the spelling of that hyssop? 1624 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:27.960 I think it is sorry already like skipped up so 1625 01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:28.640 far from. 1626 01:44:28.520 --> 01:44:33.039 Where Plus it looks it looks like it kind of 1627 01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:35.800 looks like lavender. A lot of people plant it as 1628 01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:39.079 like a like a in their garden because it's pretty 1629 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:42.039 because it has like these little dainty purple flowers very 1630 01:44:42.039 --> 01:44:46.640 similar to lavender. So and it grows like it grows 1631 01:44:46.680 --> 01:44:48.560 like mad. You don't have to do anything to it. 1632 01:44:48.720 --> 01:44:50.560 So I know a lot of people plant it just 1633 01:44:50.560 --> 01:44:51.840 for the sake of what it looks like. 1634 01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:57.520 But what I'm taking for all that Nique presented here 1635 01:44:57.760 --> 01:45:02.520 is and from what check Ling said this, all of 1636 01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:05.640 these herbs seemed like, for instance, the last one you're 1637 01:45:05.600 --> 01:45:10.520 described as anti spasmodic, but three minutes before you said 1638 01:45:11.119 --> 01:45:15.720 you can lead into seizures. So it's every single one 1639 01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:19.880 of them seems that have a threshold where they can 1640 01:45:20.000 --> 01:45:23.680 either help you or they can actually kill you or 1641 01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:29.520 lead into serious health problems. So it's that threshold that 1642 01:45:29.600 --> 01:45:32.439 I find interesting because in some of them, as Jacqueline said, 1643 01:45:32.479 --> 01:45:35.359 it's so small, it could be just a gram of 1644 01:45:35.399 --> 01:45:39.319 it above that it will be highly toxic, and beneath 1645 01:45:39.399 --> 01:45:43.159 that it will it will help you. So it's the 1646 01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:47.960 duality present in all of these elements that we can 1647 01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:52.359 take in that it fascinates me because they have dual purposes. 1648 01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:54.279 It depends on how you want to use it. You 1649 01:45:54.319 --> 01:45:55.920 can use it for good or you can use it 1650 01:45:55.960 --> 01:45:56.439 for evil. 1651 01:45:56.520 --> 01:45:57.119 It it's just. 1652 01:45:58.640 --> 01:46:01.720 It's like the nature is telling you here it is, now, 1653 01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:04.600 show us what you want to do with it. 1654 01:46:06.840 --> 01:46:08.840 Well, the same is true for water. I mean, you 1655 01:46:08.880 --> 01:46:15.239 need it to live, but too much will kill you. 1656 01:46:15.520 --> 01:46:22.199 Everything is about balance, then, true, need a count for balance? 1657 01:46:22.960 --> 01:46:29.880 F three? Fucking no centicle woman fans. Okay, it's just 1658 01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:37.399 me al Pacino what He's about to kill himself in 1659 01:46:37.439 --> 01:46:39.880 the bathroom and Chris, you know, is tried to save him. 1660 01:46:40.159 --> 01:46:41.640 He says, I'm going to do it. You need a 1661 01:46:41.720 --> 01:46:42.760 count for balance? 1662 01:46:43.319 --> 01:46:43.560 Fine? 1663 01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:45.359 Four three? 1664 01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:47.560 Fuck it? And he gets it right there and he 1665 01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:49.279 runs in and gets the gun and they rest on 1666 01:46:49.359 --> 01:46:59.159 the ground. That's great, mom, watch it every Thanksgiving. Actually, Jason, 1667 01:46:59.239 --> 01:47:02.560 what have you to you about the solve yet? Before 1668 01:47:02.600 --> 01:47:05.479 You're coming into the lemon balmb Dude, it's the lemon. 1669 01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:11.359 It's this alert, relaxedness that gets you in trouble every. 1670 01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:14.319 Time a lemon balm Ma do it? 1671 01:47:15.279 --> 01:47:16.880 I know, and it gives you. 1672 01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:19.079 The sense memory of third grade because it sounds like 1673 01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:22.079 the lemonhead candies you know, used to suck on to 1674 01:47:22.079 --> 01:47:25.640 stay awake in church, So it's just powerful stuff that 1675 01:47:25.800 --> 01:47:28.560 lemon bom mm hmm. 1676 01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:32.319 All right, uh, I think I'll do one more on well, 1677 01:47:32.399 --> 01:47:34.800 but we'll see where we're at after this one. I 1678 01:47:34.800 --> 01:47:37.319 picked this one up especially for you again, Ricordo. Actually 1679 01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:42.279 skip down for this one. Yew tree. Youw tree is 1680 01:47:42.279 --> 01:47:44.479 steeped in magic and myth and magic as a symbol 1681 01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:46.840 of death, rebirth, and the gateway to the other world. 1682 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.880 Often found in Asian graveyards. Yous can live for millennia, 1683 01:47:51.079 --> 01:47:54.720 which gave them an aura of immortality, even even as 1684 01:47:54.760 --> 01:47:57.880 a dark foliage and poisonous nature linked them to mortality. 1685 01:47:59.439 --> 01:48:02.159 In health and Germanic lore, you is considered as one 1686 01:48:02.159 --> 01:48:05.439 of the most powerful trees. It was one of the 1687 01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:08.640 sacred chieftain trees of Island and is associated with ancestor 1688 01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:13.439 communion and funerary rites. Magically, you wood or needles are 1689 01:48:13.560 --> 01:48:17.800 used for an ancestral magic and spirit communication. For instance, 1690 01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:19.960 burning a small piece of you or placing it on 1691 01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:22.399 the altar is thought to help bridge the living and 1692 01:48:22.479 --> 01:48:26.680 the dead, inviting ancestral guidance, but always with caution due 1693 01:48:26.720 --> 01:48:31.319 to use powerful vibrations. U also serves as a protective charm. 1694 01:48:31.640 --> 01:48:33.880 Sprigs of you were buried with the dead to guard 1695 01:48:33.880 --> 01:48:37.640 their souls and planted around graveyards to contain restless spirits. 1696 01:48:38.239 --> 01:48:41.760 This translate into This translates into magical practice as using 1697 01:48:41.800 --> 01:48:45.520 you to ward off evil spirits and negative energies, especially 1698 01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:49.960 those connected with death or curses. For example, a wand 1699 01:48:50.039 --> 01:48:53.479 made of you is traditionally considered extremely potent for banishing 1700 01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:58.399 and necromantic work, capable of commanding spirits and legend, which 1701 01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:03.279 is and sorcerers often had used the nineteenth century magical 1702 01:49:03.399 --> 01:49:07.439 orders use you was sometimes included in rituals of transformation 1703 01:49:07.760 --> 01:49:11.279 or ego death to symbolize the shedding of the old 1704 01:49:11.319 --> 01:49:14.840 self and the rebirth of the initiate, the direct echo 1705 01:49:14.920 --> 01:49:18.920 of the tree's evergreen life. A myth admits mist death 1706 01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:24.119 imagery use dual aspect, toxic yet long lived, made it 1707 01:49:24.199 --> 01:49:28.399 a symbol of life in death. Some sources note that 1708 01:49:28.439 --> 01:49:31.159 carrying a bit of you can make one invisible or 1709 01:49:31.239 --> 01:49:34.439 protected from physical harm. This is echoed by the myth 1710 01:49:34.520 --> 01:49:36.720 that wearing a sprig of you can let one walk 1711 01:49:36.720 --> 01:49:41.439 in the underworld unseen by its change. You wood has been. 1712 01:49:41.520 --> 01:49:44.920 You has been used to carve runs and talismans for 1713 01:49:45.000 --> 01:49:49.920 powerful protection and magical potency, notably the Norse ruins uh 1714 01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:56.199 Norse runs awas is the U Run, representing the world tree, 1715 01:49:56.199 --> 01:50:01.079 connecting worlds as well as defense and transcendence. Magically, this 1716 01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:04.279 rouine and the wood itself are invoked for shamanic journeys, 1717 01:50:04.319 --> 01:50:09.079 accessing past lives or ancestral memories, and enduring great trials. 1718 01:50:09.920 --> 01:50:13.479 You is also tied to Hecate and the end of 1719 01:50:13.560 --> 01:50:17.680 the world and underworld deities. In Roman rits, wreaths of 1720 01:50:17.800 --> 01:50:22.359 jew adorned sacrifices to Hecta, emphasizing its role in dark 1721 01:50:22.479 --> 01:50:27.359 moon sorcery and crossroads magic, which graft today. You is 1722 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:30.920 approached with respect. It's included in spell work that deals 1723 01:50:30.960 --> 01:50:35.920 with serious transitions, binding or reversing death cures, and communicating 1724 01:50:35.960 --> 01:50:40.319 with the departed, always with the caveat of its toxicity, 1725 01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:45.159 both literally and energetically. Some which has annoy candles with 1726 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:50.159 you infused oil for sam Hayne to honor and invite ancestors. 1727 01:50:50.800 --> 01:50:55.680 You is thus quintessential crone tree, embodying ancient wisdom, the 1728 01:50:55.720 --> 01:50:58.920 power of endings and beginnings, and the deep protection that 1729 01:50:59.000 --> 01:51:03.159 comes from understanding death. To use you magically is to 1730 01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:07.159 invoke very old patonic forces. It can it can defend 1731 01:51:07.199 --> 01:51:10.920 against malignant spirits, though it's deathly power which they fear, 1732 01:51:11.680 --> 01:51:17.760 and facilitate profound transformation the neurological effects. The U tree 1733 01:51:17.800 --> 01:51:22.199 is infamous for its toxicity, containing alkaloids taxin A and 1734 01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:26.199 B that are potent cardiotoxins and also affect the nervous 1735 01:51:26.199 --> 01:51:32.119 system in Thus, in physiological terms, ingesting you, even small 1736 01:51:32.159 --> 01:51:35.880 amounts of leaves or seas can cause serious disruption of 1737 01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:42.039 the autotomic nervous system and cardiac conduction. Taxine alkaloids primarily 1738 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:45.800 block calcium channels and heart and nerve cells, leading to 1739 01:51:45.920 --> 01:51:50.800 outcomes like oh Man. These were bradia cardia, a slow 1740 01:51:50.840 --> 01:51:55.920 heart rate, hypertension, and eventually lethal heart block. From a 1741 01:51:55.960 --> 01:51:59.359 neurological perspective, one of the hallmark signs of YOU poisoning 1742 01:51:59.399 --> 01:52:05.199 is trembling and convulsions prior to collapse. These neurological disturbances 1743 01:52:06.079 --> 01:52:10.000 shaking muscle spasms indicate that use compounds are affecting the 1744 01:52:10.039 --> 01:52:14.920 central nervous system's control of muscle function, likely by causing 1745 01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:18.920 an imbalance of electrolytes. And neurons due to channel blocking, 1746 01:52:19.399 --> 01:52:23.800 leading to erratic firing. U also seems to depress the 1747 01:52:23.920 --> 01:52:27.159 respiratory center in the medulla part of the brain stem. 1748 01:52:27.800 --> 01:52:32.359 Many poisoning cases note difficulty breathing and eventually respiratory failure. 1749 01:52:33.359 --> 01:52:36.560 The respiratory center is governed by the vagus nerve among others, 1750 01:52:36.560 --> 01:52:40.640 and indeed use effects is to effectively overstimulate and crash 1751 01:52:40.840 --> 01:52:46.359 the vagal system. Initial poisoning can cause nausea and vomiting, 1752 01:52:47.039 --> 01:52:51.720 vegas activated digestive purge, and later a dangerous vagal tone 1753 01:52:51.800 --> 01:52:56.039 drop leading to collapse. Thus, you can at first trigger 1754 01:52:56.079 --> 01:53:01.279 a massive para sympathetic surge hence vomity diarrhea as the 1755 01:53:01.279 --> 01:53:05.319 body tries to expel it and those of vagus mediated reflexes, 1756 01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:09.720 followed by paras sympathetic failure as the heart and brain 1757 01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:15.840 becomes starved of oxygen due to condunction due to conduction block. Neurologically, 1758 01:53:15.920 --> 01:53:20.479 one could say you initially hyper excites certain nerve pathways, 1759 01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:26.319 causing tremors in GI evacuation, then silences them permanently, leading 1760 01:53:26.359 --> 01:53:31.119 to loss of consciousness, cessation of breathing, and death. There's 1761 01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:34.359 also some evidence that used toxins can cross into the 1762 01:53:34.520 --> 01:53:39.279 brain and cause seizure like activity or at least severe confusion. 1763 01:53:40.359 --> 01:53:43.079 On a similar non lethal scale, being around a you 1764 01:53:43.319 --> 01:53:47.199 or handling it has minimal neural effect. The toxins must 1765 01:53:47.239 --> 01:53:51.079 be ingested to cause harm, though there are anecdotes of 1766 01:53:51.159 --> 01:53:53.960 headaches or a heavy feeling when sitting under very old 1767 01:53:54.079 --> 01:53:58.880 u trees, possibly psychological, but some people suggest volatolic compounds 1768 01:53:59.319 --> 01:54:02.520 or even low cyanide content of seeds could cause slight 1769 01:54:03.159 --> 01:54:08.960 that slight issue. Interestingly, in homeopathy, microdoses of you, referred 1770 01:54:08.960 --> 01:54:12.199 to as Taxis pacata, have been used to treat certain 1771 01:54:12.319 --> 01:54:17.079 neurologies and heart palpitations. This is highly spectuolative, but it 1772 01:54:17.119 --> 01:54:21.800 implies that in extremely low doses you might modulate nerve signals, 1773 01:54:22.319 --> 01:54:25.479 perhaps by a mild calcium channel modulation that could calm 1774 01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:29.800 and overactive nerve, akin to how modern calcium channel blockers 1775 01:54:29.840 --> 01:54:35.680 can prevent migraines. Of course, homeopathic dosing is too dilute 1776 01:54:35.840 --> 01:54:40.359 to have direct pharmacological effect, so it's more symbolic. But 1777 01:54:40.399 --> 01:54:43.560 it's a curious point. Use capacity to black nerve conduction 1778 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:48.079 could in a controlled minuscule form, dampen excessive nerve firing, 1779 01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:53.279 like preventing arrythmia or paint signals. This aligns with used 1780 01:54:53.359 --> 01:54:58.880 magical attribute of binding or stopping harmful forces. Physiologically, it 1781 01:54:58.960 --> 01:55:02.640 literally stops the heart nerves. You might say neurologically you 1782 01:55:02.720 --> 01:55:06.760 as the ultimate inhibitor. It stops life's electrical signals, that 1783 01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:10.159 is the extreme. Symbolically, in magic, that becomes a tool 1784 01:55:10.239 --> 01:55:16.439 to stop negative energy. If we anthrop anthropomorphize use effects 1785 01:55:16.479 --> 01:55:18.800 on our nervous system, it is to bring us to 1786 01:55:18.880 --> 01:55:24.079 the threshold of death, the cessation of neural activity, and 1787 01:55:24.119 --> 01:55:27.920 if harnessed carefully in a small ritual exposure, perhaps it 1788 01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:34.640 could induce a near death transtate or perception beyond is possible. Indeed, 1789 01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:38.039 some have speculated that ancient ancient oracles might have inhaled 1790 01:55:38.079 --> 01:55:42.439 fumes from burning you risky, or brewed super diluted potions 1791 01:55:42.479 --> 01:55:46.439 to enter a trance, essentially flirting with the shuntdown of 1792 01:55:46.479 --> 01:55:51.399 the nervous system to glean visions of the afterlife. Modern 1793 01:55:51.439 --> 01:55:54.199 evidence of anything like that is scant because you is 1794 01:55:54.239 --> 01:55:57.760 so dangerous, but thematically it fits on the seafa side. 1795 01:55:57.840 --> 01:56:01.079 Just being around the venerable you can have psychological effects. 1796 01:56:01.560 --> 01:56:05.119 One might feel a deep, calmer stillness. Some describe a 1797 01:56:05.159 --> 01:56:09.359 pecular quietness in you. Rows This could be purely psychological, 1798 01:56:09.520 --> 01:56:12.479 or or perhaps extremely low exposure to tax scenes from 1799 01:56:12.520 --> 01:56:15.479 crust leaves in the air, causing subtle slowing of the 1800 01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:20.319 body's functions, similar to a very mild sedative effect. Perhaps 1801 01:56:20.359 --> 01:56:22.840 you and the environment could slightly depress heart rate or 1802 01:56:22.840 --> 01:56:26.600 blood pressure, reinforcing that calm feeling. In any case, use 1803 01:56:26.720 --> 01:56:30.920 neurological signature is silence. It silences nerves both peripherally heart 1804 01:56:30.920 --> 01:56:34.960 and gut and centrally breath and consciousness. It is the anist. 1805 01:56:35.199 --> 01:56:39.479 It is the antithesis, anthesis of excitation and magical thinking. 1806 01:56:39.600 --> 01:56:43.239 That's exactly how you holds the dead by keeping the 1807 01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:46.920 living signals at bay. If use magically, a practitioner might 1808 01:56:46.920 --> 01:56:50.960 incorporate that quality. Use you to freeze an enemy's action, 1809 01:56:51.239 --> 01:56:54.840 stop their nervous impetus, or enter a meditative state to 1810 01:56:54.960 --> 01:56:58.760 deep its mimics, or enter a meditative state so deep 1811 01:56:58.800 --> 01:57:02.720 it mimics death, slowing one's heart rate and breath via 1812 01:57:02.760 --> 01:57:09.399 trans aided by used presence. Summarily from a physiological advantage, 1813 01:57:09.439 --> 01:57:12.920 you embodies the concept of death through its nervous systems. Effects, 1814 01:57:13.479 --> 01:57:17.239 it rains away neural fire until nothing remains. This profound 1815 01:57:17.319 --> 01:57:22.720 quieting of the life impulses can be deadly physically, but spiritually. 1816 01:57:22.920 --> 01:57:26.720 Encountering that energy and a controlled ritual can be transformative, 1817 01:57:27.199 --> 01:57:31.119 akin to a symbolic death of the old self leading 1818 01:57:31.319 --> 01:57:37.920 to rebirth. Thus, an extremely cautious skilled magicians skilled magical 1819 01:57:37.920 --> 01:57:42.359 practice one might carefully tune into use neurological resonance to 1820 01:57:42.439 --> 01:57:46.840 achieve a state of deep stillness boundary between life and death, 1821 01:57:47.479 --> 01:57:51.359 essentially stimulating a near death neural pattern which could make 1822 01:57:51.439 --> 01:57:55.479 the veil to the other side perceptible. It's intense and 1823 01:57:55.520 --> 01:57:59.159 not to be toyed with, precisely matching us reputation as 1824 01:57:59.199 --> 01:58:06.039 a powerful solemn tree of the darkest magic and brightest resurrection. Uh, 1825 01:58:06.159 --> 01:58:06.840 that's it all nice. 1826 01:58:07.279 --> 01:58:11.640 So I wonder, considering what you said, could it be 1827 01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:15.439 used in microdoses to treat epilepsy, for instance, because it's 1828 01:58:15.479 --> 01:58:19.000 it's the firing of the brain by reducing it because 1829 01:58:19.000 --> 01:58:19.760 I never heard it. 1830 01:58:20.000 --> 01:58:23.239 Yeah, it's explained for that lower doses of benzodiazepines will 1831 01:58:23.239 --> 01:58:27.600 stop alcoholics some season, And you see what you're saying, 1832 01:58:28.119 --> 01:58:29.960 some something like that. 1833 01:58:29.960 --> 01:58:32.199 That's interesting because I was thinking while you were talking. 1834 01:58:32.279 --> 01:58:34.039 I was like, this kind of sounds like a migraine 1835 01:58:34.039 --> 01:58:38.560 related thing. So, and a lot of seizure medications double 1836 01:58:38.600 --> 01:58:42.319 as a migraine medication if label. So there's that. 1837 01:58:44.840 --> 01:58:46.960 Yeah, but let's avoid using it. 1838 01:58:48.000 --> 01:58:48.399 Okay. 1839 01:58:49.279 --> 01:58:51.039 Oh it does not sound like a good time. 1840 01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:57.399 No, it doesn't. No, And I maybe it was used 1841 01:58:57.479 --> 01:59:02.840 by in the past to simulate someone death, probably others 1842 01:59:02.880 --> 01:59:07.720 to believe that you. Yeah, that's why they say you 1843 01:59:07.880 --> 01:59:10.199 take this and they'll believe your dads, but you might 1844 01:59:10.319 --> 01:59:11.199 actually be dad. 1845 01:59:11.800 --> 01:59:18.479 So I'm familiar with you from the Japanese art of bumsai. 1846 01:59:18.560 --> 01:59:21.520 You know it's popular in that So I guess the 1847 01:59:22.079 --> 01:59:23.560 I was a bit worried a first when you're given 1848 01:59:23.560 --> 01:59:26.039 all the bad traits, but yeah, the meditative qualities and 1849 01:59:26.119 --> 01:59:28.560 all that, that makes sense why it would be an 1850 01:59:28.560 --> 01:59:32.159 excellent tree for a meditative hobby. Listen, I don't know 1851 01:59:32.159 --> 01:59:34.520 if you're done with the herbs, but I had one 1852 01:59:34.960 --> 01:59:37.439 question technical note as I'm looking through my notes here. 1853 01:59:38.039 --> 01:59:40.560 So the common theme I hear are effects on the 1854 01:59:40.640 --> 01:59:44.640 vegas nerve. But you know, I don't have but maybe 1855 01:59:44.640 --> 01:59:48.079 a kindergarten's understanding of even what the vegas nerve does 1856 01:59:48.439 --> 01:59:51.920 for us. So do you can you elaborate on that 1857 01:59:51.960 --> 01:59:53.760 and why it is all of these herbs seem to 1858 01:59:53.760 --> 01:59:54.720 affect that system. 1859 01:59:55.560 --> 01:59:57.319 Well, it goes from like the brain all the way 1860 01:59:57.319 --> 02:00:00.840 down to the gut or I think even lower. It 1861 02:00:00.960 --> 02:00:03.199 was something that I started coming across recently. I mean, 1862 02:00:03.279 --> 02:00:05.880 because I look at magic a little bit differently or 1863 02:00:05.920 --> 02:00:07.920 symbolism a little bit differently than most people. I think 1864 02:00:07.920 --> 02:00:10.359 a lot of it does tie to the body. And 1865 02:00:10.399 --> 02:00:13.000 I started recently just looking at the nervous system as 1866 02:00:13.039 --> 02:00:17.439 possibly angels because they're traveling messages. And I realized that 1867 02:00:17.439 --> 02:00:19.720 that one does go back and forth, you know what 1868 02:00:19.760 --> 02:00:21.399 I'm saying. So I started looking at that one a 1869 02:00:21.399 --> 02:00:23.159 lot because I would be very whole, like, again, you 1870 02:00:23.239 --> 02:00:25.840 have a hermaphrodite that's even symbolized with that that that 1871 02:00:26.039 --> 02:00:29.800 idea both sides me. He's a traveler, you know, goes 1872 02:00:29.840 --> 02:00:32.720 back and forth from hope. They could be Hermes or 1873 02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:39.520 Toth be there. So I I just I wanted to 1874 02:00:39.560 --> 02:00:42.159 look into I had a feeling the vagus nerve just 1875 02:00:42.239 --> 02:00:46.960 for those reasons might come up in occult stuff. And 1876 02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:49.079 then I realized like for some reason, I was just 1877 02:00:49.079 --> 02:00:51.960 thinking like the easy way to start fucking with that 1878 02:00:52.000 --> 02:00:55.640 would be through herbs, and I knew that, you know, again, 1879 02:00:55.680 --> 02:00:57.720 it like if it's going through that whole part of 1880 02:00:57.720 --> 02:01:00.279 the body. That's why, like when I'm mentioning your gut 1881 02:01:00.600 --> 02:01:02.760 and you're breathing, you know, could both be affected. Is 1882 02:01:02.800 --> 02:01:04.600 because it's fucking going all the way from here all 1883 02:01:04.640 --> 02:01:08.680 the way down there. And there's just other things about 1884 02:01:08.720 --> 02:01:12.359 the cranial nerves. In my opinion, certain stuff with the 1885 02:01:12.520 --> 02:01:17.520 UH and initiations that I have been through with the OTO, 1886 02:01:17.680 --> 02:01:20.840 I do think that they're pointing at a part of 1887 02:01:20.880 --> 02:01:24.199 the nerveal, the cranial nerves. So that was another reason 1888 02:01:24.199 --> 02:01:28.680 why I decided he'd even look at this. But I 1889 02:01:28.680 --> 02:01:30.600 mean the vegas nerve again, I was interested in that 1890 02:01:30.640 --> 02:01:32.439 because I do know it also has something to do 1891 02:01:32.680 --> 02:01:36.520 with respiration. When I first started doing this, I actually 1892 02:01:36.600 --> 02:01:39.039 was just going on that angle, and then I had 1893 02:01:39.039 --> 02:01:41.680 started realizing some of them hit like honestly, some of 1894 02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:43.039 the ones I left out there as ones that hit 1895 02:01:43.079 --> 02:01:44.479 like three of them at the same time. I have 1896 02:01:44.520 --> 02:01:46.159 gone over some of them, you know, but I have 1897 02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:47.800 left other ones out that are actually a little bit 1898 02:01:47.840 --> 02:01:49.880 more just as interesting and maybe more to it than 1899 02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:53.960 I've covered. So again, like the vegas nerve, I knew 1900 02:01:53.960 --> 02:01:56.399 because of the respiration, I was kind of interested in 1901 02:01:56.439 --> 02:01:58.840 that because it is again not to reiterate, my opinion 1902 02:01:59.000 --> 02:02:01.760 is you know, again a near death experience or you 1903 02:02:01.800 --> 02:02:05.039 know something to flatliners like that movie. Uh, you know 1904 02:02:05.119 --> 02:02:07.720 that's that's real. And I think that these rbs might 1905 02:02:07.760 --> 02:02:18.039 be used to aid that, right questions. I don't know 1906 02:02:18.079 --> 02:02:23.479 if that helps. 1907 02:02:18.560 --> 02:02:26.600 The vegas nerve, Jason. The vegas nerve is probably like 1908 02:02:26.800 --> 02:02:31.119 among the most active nerves cranial nerves. It's the longest nerve, 1909 02:02:31.159 --> 02:02:36.680 like Nick said, it it helps to it's involved in 1910 02:02:36.880 --> 02:02:41.399 everything from like you said, respiration, lung's heart, and certainly 1911 02:02:41.439 --> 02:02:47.560 digestive tract. So because it is so long and it's 1912 02:02:48.000 --> 02:02:55.279 crucial to the autonomic and parasympathetic nervous system, it's it's 1913 02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:58.800 I think you could say, the most active nerve and 1914 02:02:58.880 --> 02:03:01.600 also being the longest means it has the most number 1915 02:03:01.600 --> 02:03:06.079 of branches and all the other cranial nerves kind of 1916 02:03:06.119 --> 02:03:09.920 in some way or another would work in tandem or 1917 02:03:10.279 --> 02:03:14.720 directly with the vagus nerve. For instance, like if you 1918 02:03:14.720 --> 02:03:19.279 can envision inside your inside your head, like it comes, 1919 02:03:19.399 --> 02:03:21.279 it comes up along the side of the face on 1920 02:03:21.319 --> 02:03:23.880 both sides, and runs down into the diet all the 1921 02:03:23.880 --> 02:03:27.239 way down to the digestive track. In comparison the old 1922 02:03:27.279 --> 02:03:30.880 factory nerve, which obviously has to do with your nose 1923 02:03:30.920 --> 02:03:34.079 and smelling, that's the shortest. So it's only like it 1924 02:03:34.199 --> 02:03:36.479 just has such a short path to travel up into 1925 02:03:36.520 --> 02:03:39.199 the into the cranium right from the nose. 1926 02:03:40.119 --> 02:03:43.279 So I think another reason why I'm is interested by 1927 02:03:43.319 --> 02:03:46.680 it too, just to add on to that, is the 1928 02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:48.720 way it follows your body. To me, was like a 1929 02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:51.439 lot like how I forget the name of the fluid, 1930 02:03:51.479 --> 02:03:53.520 but there's a fluid that goes in back here, that's 1931 02:03:53.560 --> 02:03:55.439 in the back of your eye that actually will follow 1932 02:03:55.439 --> 02:03:57.600 a female all the way down to the world, you know, 1933 02:03:57.880 --> 02:04:00.399 or it's even in us. So like to me, I 1934 02:04:00.439 --> 02:04:02.239 was just like, that's just another thing that you know, 1935 02:04:02.279 --> 02:04:04.039 I just found that interesting how they both kind of 1936 02:04:04.039 --> 02:04:07.920 like almost follow each other at all. So, but maybe 1937 02:04:07.960 --> 02:04:08.840 there's something up with that. 1938 02:04:09.840 --> 02:04:10.880 Is this Jacqueline. 1939 02:04:11.000 --> 02:04:13.960 So we hear a lot about the connection between the 1940 02:04:14.000 --> 02:04:16.159 gut and the brain, you know, even now the scientists 1941 02:04:16.159 --> 02:04:19.159 are basically saying it's like the second brain is this 1942 02:04:19.600 --> 02:04:21.720 because of the vegas nerve is that the main communicating 1943 02:04:21.760 --> 02:04:23.039 element between the gut and the brain. 1944 02:04:23.079 --> 02:04:26.399 I guess then it would be like the major pathway 1945 02:04:26.439 --> 02:04:29.359 between the brain and the digestive tract. Right, So it's 1946 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:33.399 carrying all the signals from the brain to the major 1947 02:04:33.520 --> 02:04:37.520 organs like the heart, lungs, and all the different parts 1948 02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:38.720 of your digestive tract. 1949 02:04:40.439 --> 02:04:41.039 If you ask. 1950 02:04:40.920 --> 02:04:46.760 Anyone who studied physiology extensively, you have a brain and 1951 02:04:46.800 --> 02:04:49.439 that's essential, yes, And we have all these organs which 1952 02:04:49.560 --> 02:04:55.000 help facilitate life. But you are your digestive tract completely. 1953 02:04:59.119 --> 02:05:00.000 Where snakes would. 1954 02:05:02.079 --> 02:05:04.840 Is that why it's said that you are what you eat? 1955 02:05:06.399 --> 02:05:06.560 Ah? 1956 02:05:06.640 --> 02:05:07.000 Yes? 1957 02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:13.720 Right? Also, Uh, the reason why I had even was 1958 02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:15.680 he got interested in the vegas, you know vegas. Ever, 1959 02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:20.479 when I realized, you know, whatever was about more you know, 1960 02:05:20.680 --> 02:05:22.479 from experiences that I have. When I said that, you know, 1961 02:05:22.520 --> 02:05:24.439 it literally feels like you can feel like the energy 1962 02:05:24.520 --> 02:05:27.760 leaving you. I'm seeing how far that nerve goes. I 1963 02:05:27.880 --> 02:05:29.399 was just like, you know, it could it be possible 1964 02:05:29.399 --> 02:05:32.159 that when you are starting to see you come out 1965 02:05:32.159 --> 02:05:35.079 of your skin suit, maybe you will actually feel that? 1966 02:05:35.279 --> 02:05:39.279 And interesting like how she mentioned the gut and the heart. 1967 02:05:39.600 --> 02:05:43.399 In the Gnostic mess and the Oto, when the priest 1968 02:05:43.439 --> 02:05:45.680 comes out at some point he does like slice his 1969 02:05:45.720 --> 02:05:49.399 stomach and slices heart. I think he might do his 1970 02:05:49.439 --> 02:05:51.399 neck eventually. But it's like almost kind of like the 1971 02:05:51.479 --> 02:05:57.359 major areas where the vegas nerve actually affects. So I 1972 02:05:57.399 --> 02:05:58.920 started like thinking, I was like, yoh, am my own 1973 02:05:58.920 --> 02:06:00.479 too something. So that's what, you know, reason why I 1974 02:06:00.479 --> 02:06:01.720 looked into that. And then I was like, well, it 1975 02:06:01.720 --> 02:06:03.720 makes sense to just do all twelve cranial nerves. Why 1976 02:06:03.760 --> 02:06:04.880 am I going to stick with thee? 1977 02:06:11.079 --> 02:06:13.039 I know that the vegas nerve has come up a 1978 02:06:13.079 --> 02:06:15.479 lot on my and I hate to keep bringing up 1979 02:06:15.479 --> 02:06:19.439 my migraine journey, but I feel like that that's interconnected. 1980 02:06:19.560 --> 02:06:22.800 And one of the you know, therapies that I've looked 1981 02:06:22.800 --> 02:06:26.319 into is like the resetting of the vegas nerve, and 1982 02:06:26.359 --> 02:06:30.640 there's actually like exercises movements that you can do that 1983 02:06:30.840 --> 02:06:35.560 reset that. So that's worth looking into if anyone's interested 1984 02:06:35.600 --> 02:06:40.199 in that. It doesn't stop it. It doesn't like fix 1985 02:06:40.239 --> 02:06:43.359 a migraine, but it can stop one from happening if 1986 02:06:43.399 --> 02:06:46.960 one is coming on or like a seizure or any 1987 02:06:47.039 --> 02:06:51.680 type of neurological episode. Resetting your vegus nerve is a 1988 02:06:51.720 --> 02:06:54.560 great thing to try because it costs nothing and you 1989 02:06:54.600 --> 02:06:56.039 can just do it right where you are. 1990 02:06:56.119 --> 02:06:58.479 So so check those out. 1991 02:06:58.920 --> 02:07:01.880 Does that involve we do have towards the wall and 1992 02:07:01.920 --> 02:07:02.960 becoming consciousness? 1993 02:07:04.319 --> 02:07:07.560 No, that comes later. That comes later. That's if the 1994 02:07:07.640 --> 02:07:10.479 restating of the vagus nerve doesn't work, then you run 1995 02:07:10.520 --> 02:07:11.159 into the wall. 1996 02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:17.399 There you made it. Hit him with a flip flop. 1997 02:07:17.479 --> 02:07:18.800 You got any handy over there? 1998 02:07:19.800 --> 02:07:21.439 I got one somewhere around here. 1999 02:07:21.479 --> 02:07:25.159 But we need to we need to get a cannon 2000 02:07:25.199 --> 02:07:27.279 in the merch store. Get a little flip flop cannon. 2001 02:07:29.119 --> 02:07:31.279 I'm gonna just start bringing holy water on here and 2002 02:07:31.319 --> 02:07:32.439 flinging it at him, like. 2003 02:07:32.640 --> 02:07:36.159 Which we learned we can make with roses rose. 2004 02:07:36.159 --> 02:07:40.840 And see there we get learned something new every day. 2005 02:07:41.039 --> 02:07:43.159 I did not know how to make holy water. Yeah, 2006 02:07:43.199 --> 02:07:44.760 I feel thoroughly equipped to go. 2007 02:07:44.880 --> 02:07:47.640 Oh this, actually, like if you were this actual recipe, 2008 02:07:47.680 --> 02:07:50.479 I think like Catholic churches use like I think there's 2009 02:07:50.479 --> 02:07:53.960 like salts of something that I used to Actually, it's 2010 02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:56.560 so funny. I used to. I was a ceremonial magician 2011 02:07:56.600 --> 02:07:58.119 one time. I didn't even realizing, I was like, I 2012 02:07:58.119 --> 02:07:59.680 can't believe I just did this. I noticed as I 2013 02:07:59.680 --> 02:08:01.279 was walking out of the polace. I it must have 2014 02:08:01.359 --> 02:08:03.119 recently been to Salem, so I was wearing like a 2015 02:08:03.159 --> 02:08:06.239 Salem hoodie. And I had a Catholic church a few 2016 02:08:06.279 --> 02:08:08.279 blocks away from me, and I used to go down 2017 02:08:08.319 --> 02:08:09.920 there with like a big bowl and they used to 2018 02:08:09.960 --> 02:08:10.359 have like this. 2019 02:08:10.520 --> 02:08:12.520 It was like looked like one of those big coffee 2020 02:08:12.520 --> 02:08:15.960 makers that had like holy water in it. I'm walking 2021 02:08:16.000 --> 02:08:18.239 in there with like a Salem shirt said with fucking 2022 02:08:18.239 --> 02:08:21.199 pentacle on it, filling up a bottle with fucking holy water. 2023 02:08:21.239 --> 02:08:23.479 Bringing it back to using my witch altar. It was 2024 02:08:23.520 --> 02:08:25.479 just like, yo, what the fuck? Like, what's going on right? 2025 02:08:27.239 --> 02:08:29.560 Because because I knew that they made it specifically, because 2026 02:08:29.560 --> 02:08:32.439 there is it's not just what like certain prayers supposed 2027 02:08:32.479 --> 02:08:34.319 to be said, and sometimes I do you think there's 2028 02:08:34.399 --> 02:08:37.199 something slightly put in there with the water. So that's 2029 02:08:37.199 --> 02:08:39.000 why I was, yeah, you know, I'll get it from 2030 02:08:39.000 --> 02:08:40.279 people who know what the fuck they're doing. 2031 02:08:40.479 --> 02:08:45.199 Hopefully well, in my experience, swamp water works just fine 2032 02:08:45.199 --> 02:08:47.279 and getting rid of demons, so I'm not sure what 2033 02:08:47.800 --> 02:08:50.359 kind of headache they're going to but Yeah, I'm curious. 2034 02:08:50.520 --> 02:08:55.359 I didn't. I'm sure there's a recipe. Yeah, probably not 2035 02:08:55.399 --> 02:08:58.840 to offend any Catholics. There's probably a better word than recipe. 2036 02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:04.079 But I doubt most pre these days prepare the just 2037 02:09:05.399 --> 02:09:09.960 from the tap and they've blasted. Yeah, that's it's totally here's. 2038 02:09:09.760 --> 02:09:15.560 Some mercury and florid wrong live. Just bring me the children, 2039 02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:21.720 No guy, florid eight and my my my third. 2040 02:09:21.760 --> 02:09:21.960 Aye. 2041 02:09:21.960 --> 02:09:23.880 That seems a little satanic there, sir. 2042 02:09:24.840 --> 02:09:27.600 Yeah, they're supposed to be taking. 2043 02:09:27.399 --> 02:09:29.239 Out in the world when you start looking too close 2044 02:09:29.279 --> 02:09:29.520 at it. 2045 02:09:29.880 --> 02:09:31.479 Have you heard that they're supposed to be taking that 2046 02:09:31.479 --> 02:09:33.199 out of the water. I was like, what's the catch 2047 02:09:33.239 --> 02:09:35.960 with that, the fluoride, the florid, Like, if you're going 2048 02:09:36.000 --> 02:09:37.199 to take that out of the water, what's the catch, 2049 02:09:37.199 --> 02:09:41.560 because that's a positive thing. I just don't buy that way. 2050 02:09:42.800 --> 02:09:46.439 That's why that's there's no fluoride in the water here. 2051 02:09:46.920 --> 02:09:50.720 The part of the overreaching campaign of the matrix to 2052 02:09:50.720 --> 02:09:53.680 make us all retarded and unable to properly function and 2053 02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:56.520 see our roles and therefore break out. That's this carefully 2054 02:09:56.560 --> 02:10:00.159 constructed matrix of the reality that is one purpore. The 2055 02:10:00.199 --> 02:10:01.920 purpose of putting fluoride in our water. 2056 02:10:02.479 --> 02:10:04.319 Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I'm surprisedly going 2057 02:10:04.359 --> 02:10:06.720 to take it out like that just has. 2058 02:10:06.680 --> 02:10:10.800 Well, there is so many stuff in the food today 2059 02:10:10.840 --> 02:10:14.600 that also calcifies the area of your of your serf, 2060 02:10:14.800 --> 02:10:19.800 you sir, die that they don't need it any That's right, 2061 02:10:19.960 --> 02:10:20.319 there's that. 2062 02:10:20.560 --> 02:10:23.800 Yeah, everybody drinking, we're all hooked on something else. 2063 02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:26.920 Yeah, anybody that doesn't believe in miracles, just look at 2064 02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:29.439 America and the fact that we're all still walking around 2065 02:10:29.600 --> 02:10:32.439 funding unable to think when you look at our diets 2066 02:10:32.439 --> 02:10:35.199 that were raised on as there's actually no joke. I mean, 2067 02:10:35.199 --> 02:10:37.560 I'm laughing, but it's quite miraculous when you look at 2068 02:10:37.600 --> 02:10:39.239 what we're putting in our bodies every day. 2069 02:10:39.520 --> 02:10:44.399 Well until until probably twenty ten, I think it shifted 2070 02:10:44.399 --> 02:10:48.159 a little before that. In the arrow Europe, we considered 2071 02:10:48.199 --> 02:10:51.079 America as the as the lab rats of the world, 2072 02:10:51.079 --> 02:10:53.800 because it seems that everybody was being tested there for 2073 02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:57.520 and then spread across the rest of the world. Today 2074 02:10:57.640 --> 02:11:00.359 doesn't seem to be like that so much. There's other 2075 02:11:00.399 --> 02:11:04.520 places that are being tested instead of Americans. There is 2076 02:11:04.920 --> 02:11:08.079 probably there was a raising awareness of what's going on too, So. 2077 02:11:09.680 --> 02:11:11.760 Well, we're all in a lab, you know, we're all 2078 02:11:11.760 --> 02:11:14.680 being tested. It's like I heard somebody say, there was 2079 02:11:14.720 --> 02:11:17.199 a Mandela effects post on X this morning and they 2080 02:11:17.199 --> 02:11:19.520 were talking about the fruit of the loom cornucopia, you know, 2081 02:11:20.079 --> 02:11:22.359 and they're the best explanation I've heard. They said, Man, 2082 02:11:22.399 --> 02:11:24.600 this is just a CIA mind hacked. They want to 2083 02:11:24.640 --> 02:11:26.560 see how far they can get away with it. Can 2084 02:11:26.600 --> 02:11:29.680 they tell us all something we saw never happened and 2085 02:11:29.800 --> 02:11:33.399 have us buy it? And yeah, but who is testing 2086 02:11:33.439 --> 02:11:40.079 the CIA? Well, that's well, nobody, the CIA, masade, I 2087 02:11:40.119 --> 02:11:43.720 mean every intelligence agency around the world, you know five eyes, right, 2088 02:11:43.880 --> 02:11:46.640 that's your deep state, That is the deep state's you know, 2089 02:11:46.720 --> 02:11:48.319 operational arm in the world. 2090 02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:55.720 I tend to believe that there is always another higher 2091 02:11:56.159 --> 02:11:59.920 control in east, every control until you get to the soul. 2092 02:12:00.359 --> 02:12:03.680 And I don't believe that any secret agents is the 2093 02:12:03.720 --> 02:12:06.279 source of that power or autonomous. 2094 02:12:06.359 --> 02:12:11.439 But right, whoever has that power, you've never heard their name. 2095 02:12:11.279 --> 02:12:18.199 Before, never, and you'll never see them. So yeah, that 2096 02:12:18.199 --> 02:12:20.439 that's only for those that can go to my lago 2097 02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:22.520 and all of that kind of stuff. Those are the 2098 02:12:22.520 --> 02:12:24.439 ones that can actually see them. 2099 02:12:24.680 --> 02:12:28.960 There's a jab, look man, I went to see Mike Tyson. 2100 02:12:29.079 --> 02:12:30.760 Damn it. I was hoping I'd get to play Mike 2101 02:12:30.800 --> 02:12:32.800 Tyson's punch out with him, but he was up at 2102 02:12:32.800 --> 02:12:34.680 the front table and I had to sit with his mother. 2103 02:12:35.520 --> 02:12:37.720 I was, well, it's actually his mother in law, but 2104 02:12:37.720 --> 02:12:41.119 he calls her mother. She was probably much better company 2105 02:12:41.159 --> 02:12:43.800 than he was. She was delightful. I did get to 2106 02:12:43.840 --> 02:12:47.000 talk to him about shamanism, though, so you know made 2107 02:12:47.039 --> 02:12:50.279 one night he talked about the power of his mushrooms. 2108 02:12:50.880 --> 02:12:53.520 We're trying to jab met Ricardo. Just because you're so 2109 02:12:53.640 --> 02:12:56.479 handsome and winking at me through the whole podcast doesn't 2110 02:12:56.520 --> 02:12:58.920 mean you can get away with calling me an elite. 2111 02:12:59.760 --> 02:12:59.960 Damn. 2112 02:13:00.960 --> 02:13:04.079 I was trying to do trying to be discreet. 2113 02:13:04.159 --> 02:13:06.199 You cut me outside, Ricardo. 2114 02:13:09.920 --> 02:13:15.640 Listen, I'm almost laying a flip flop here in a minute. 2115 02:13:14.880 --> 02:13:17.239 Well, cousin, Nicholas. 2116 02:13:16.760 --> 02:13:19.319 Yeah, I think yeah, I think it up. I do 2117 02:13:19.399 --> 02:13:21.479 want to say, though, for the people who are listening 2118 02:13:21.920 --> 02:13:24.600 to this, I probably did like a third of them. 2119 02:13:24.760 --> 02:13:27.039 So if you're interested in it, I'll do the whole 2120 02:13:27.079 --> 02:13:29.079 thing on my show eventually, So look for that. Because 2121 02:13:29.079 --> 02:13:30.960 I was believing there was a lot that I did 2122 02:13:31.000 --> 02:13:31.359 not cover. 2123 02:13:31.920 --> 02:13:34.199 I think you should do one more your long form 2124 02:13:34.279 --> 02:13:34.880 ones were you. 2125 02:13:35.439 --> 02:13:37.640 I was probably going to do it in two or 2126 02:13:37.640 --> 02:13:40.880 three parts, because I mean it's I took out two pages. 2127 02:13:40.920 --> 02:13:42.680 It was seventy now it's at sixty eight. But I 2128 02:13:42.680 --> 02:13:44.720 have five more herbs I want to add, and I 2129 02:13:44.800 --> 02:13:47.159 still haven't even covered the ones that are like known 2130 02:13:47.319 --> 02:13:49.560 to like kill you that everybody knows. I didn't even 2131 02:13:49.600 --> 02:13:52.520 put that down it then, yeah, things, but I do 2132 02:13:52.600 --> 02:13:53.640 want to include. 2133 02:13:53.239 --> 02:13:55.960 Those, the hemlocks and the night change. 2134 02:13:56.000 --> 02:13:56.199 Yeah. 2135 02:13:56.279 --> 02:13:57.800 At first, I was like, I don't want it because, 2136 02:13:57.840 --> 02:14:00.119 like I do eventually plan on I have all so 2137 02:14:00.199 --> 02:14:02.399 the crystals that I'm working on as well. 2138 02:14:02.720 --> 02:14:06.319 I because they all have association with herbs, like her 2139 02:14:06.479 --> 02:14:10.960 as a color and an astrological sign and a crystal, 2140 02:14:11.199 --> 02:14:14.359 Like there's association between everything, right, So. 2141 02:14:14.359 --> 02:14:16.800 Yeah, I mean, once you're doing I do want to 2142 02:14:16.800 --> 02:14:19.039 add to like and part of the reason why I 2143 02:14:19.079 --> 02:14:20.720 did it the way I did it is that from 2144 02:14:20.720 --> 02:14:23.880 my experience from being in the magical so really being 2145 02:14:23.880 --> 02:14:26.840 in an order, at one point, there are people who 2146 02:14:27.279 --> 02:14:31.880 do understand that like these things actually have like medication 2147 02:14:31.960 --> 02:14:34.319 behind a scientific use behind it. But then there is 2148 02:14:34.399 --> 02:14:37.359 a whole bunch of people that actually just think these 2149 02:14:37.359 --> 02:14:40.840 things are like linked, it's like magical effects or represents 2150 02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:43.720 a deity or it, you know. So that's why I 2151 02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:45.319 was kind of going on that angle, because there is 2152 02:14:45.640 --> 02:14:50.880 a lot of practitioners who are not looking at it 2153 02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:53.119 and in that way. So I try to come from 2154 02:14:53.159 --> 02:14:55.560 it this way. But again, there was a you know, 2155 02:14:55.600 --> 02:14:57.399 obviously there are a lot of people that do actually 2156 02:14:57.479 --> 02:14:59.319 understand that if you take this, it helps with that, 2157 02:14:59.359 --> 02:15:02.880 if you take that helps this, you know, And except 2158 02:15:02.880 --> 02:15:04.800 for those people, it's just, you know, there are just 2159 02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:06.800 different ways of looking at magic that I think is 2160 02:15:06.840 --> 02:15:08.560 just kind of dumbing your death. 2161 02:15:09.000 --> 02:15:12.520 And apart from a long term presentation that are great. 2162 02:15:13.880 --> 02:15:17.600 Are you planning to publish the pepper itself? 2163 02:15:17.760 --> 02:15:18.000 Yeah? 2164 02:15:18.199 --> 02:15:21.439 Yeah? And where can people where can people read the 2165 02:15:21.479 --> 02:15:22.199 full document? 2166 02:15:23.039 --> 02:15:25.079 I'm not even sure. I obviously I would put it 2167 02:15:25.119 --> 02:15:30.760 on my website eventually first, but right now, again, like 2168 02:15:30.760 --> 02:15:32.119 I said, I want to even add stuff to it, 2169 02:15:32.159 --> 02:15:35.720 so I wouldn't even I wouldn't even sure. Yeah, my website, 2170 02:15:35.760 --> 02:15:37.039 I don't know. You want to host it, you can 2171 02:15:37.079 --> 02:15:40.880 have it too, but you know what I'm saying, Yeah, 2172 02:15:40.920 --> 02:15:43.239 I'll probably put it up on the Occult Research Institute. 2173 02:15:43.760 --> 02:15:45.560 Yeah, that's what I was asking. Yeah, that's what I 2174 02:15:45.640 --> 02:15:46.560 was leading up to. 2175 02:15:47.159 --> 02:15:50.840 Man, Thank you appreciate that I forget about that website sometimes. 2176 02:15:52.279 --> 02:15:54.159 Well I have about five people I can add to 2177 02:15:54.239 --> 02:15:57.439 that whole who has been before site a part, and 2178 02:15:57.479 --> 02:16:03.079 I've just forgot.
