Uh so with that uh Feng Xiao. Good bye. Hi everyone thanks for coming. I'm Feng Xiao. Uh zero year Ph.D. student at Pennsylvania State University. And they are supposed to be another speaker but he can't come due to some visa problems. So I just put his picture here and my stand. So we can together to give the presentation to you all. Thank you. Alright so today we are going to talk about the new attack. The attack is about uh with this attack a weak adversary is able to hack the brain of the software defined networks. The SDN controller. Well here is the difference between the legacy networks and the software defined networks. Uh the legacy network is always vendor dependent. It means the network's devices always work independently with predefined functions and we cannot change it anymore. But in SDN the whole network is treated as two planes. The control plane, the upper layer and the data plane. So uh all network functions are now being placed into the brain of the network, the controller and the host and switch. This forwarding device are now placed into the data plane. Alright. So this is the difference between the two networks. So and this new architecture now is widely deployed in production environments with growing communities. On the one hand the open source organizations like Linux foundations are supporting a large number of SDN projects like the Open Daylight, Floodlight, Honors and companies like Huawei, Cisco also release their commercial products uh uh and their applications. And on the other hand the growing community accelerates the replacement of the network infrastructure. For example the world leading web scale providers such as Google, Microsoft, Deploying SDN in their data centers. So this is how SDN are used today. So when some people are using it, weird people are considered to hack it. The attack and the when the attacker can successfully break into a software defined network just like we connect to the Wi-Fi here if it is a software defined network architecture. So uh he will probably talk it at the controller cause it is the brain of the network. In this talk we concluded three categories of common attack objectives for attacks on the control planes. The design of service, data leakage and network manipulations. And in these tables some objectives have been achieved by previous researchers and some are not. And we discovered that these existing attacks for example just like the topology poison attacks are all focused on the service logic of controller. Which means uh these attacks for example the topology attack attack. He will attack the topology discover service in the controller to report face to to report force links and let let the controller make run decisions. So uh to discover these vulnerabilities you should be a hacker and an SDN expert. You should know the details of the SDN protocol interactions, the relationship among the service logic. But I think most of us are not SDN expert and we even not so familiar with SDN. But it is widely used so how? Um so I'm consider if whether I can find a method to hack the software defined network without learning so much about SDN. And my attack should be powerful. In the best case it it should achieve all the object attack objectives in this table all of them. No matter it is a existing one or a new one. So how do you hack the SDN like a hacker? Well the controllers are software systems and we both know that the software systems are inherently vulnerable. So it is possible that the controller components contains our vulnerabilities. This is cool. Of course we are hackers and we know how to find these code vulnerabilities, right? However the data plane and the control plane as I mentioned, they are decoupled. Which means they only communicate with each other with predefined protocol interactions. So these architecture make us hard to exploit these code vulnerabilities from the data plane where we are always in. So in this talk we introduce the custom attack which breaks the border built by the decoupled planes. Uh unlike previous attacks that focus on the attacking the controller service logic, custom attack can be used to attack all kinds of code vulnerabilities in the controller. So how to do it? So let's see how to conquer the difficulty built by the decoupled two planes. The SDN protocols provide some fields to let the switch and network device to custom themselves. Usually the customer fields is subscribed by a specific control specific controller components. Uh for example if a switch um a switch may send a fault notification message to the control plane. And this message will be first collected by a service. We can call it a collecting service maybe. And the service will send the message to the subscriber. Maybe a network monitor component. So this is how the customer field works. So I'm sorry I'm like my hands are a little bit tired so maybe Jianwei I will put you on the table. Alright. Let's move on. So this is a semantic gap built by the customer field. Since the customer field can be totally controlled by the control by the data plane um by the hacker. So any improper treatment may break the security border of the decoupled control plane and the data plane. Let's revisit the notification example. The monitor components does know how to parse the notification message. However the collecting service who collected first then does not. So the collecting service may store the message in the database without any security considerations. If a hacker inject a malicious cycle into the customer field the database will endanger. And this is the start of customer attack. And this is only the start. Alright. And with the customer attack we can exploit serious vulnerabilities in SDN controller to bring several advanced objectives. For example we can issue obituary SDN commands by calling the exposed network management API. Or we can read some confidential data via a cycle injection or other things. And this is the threat model of the customer attack. First uh the hackers don't have to directly access the network of the controller with which is sometimes separated from the data plane the network devices. And he can he will not need to access any obligations in the controllers. Also the hacker don't need to hack into the encrypt protocol channels between the control planes and the data planes. What the hacker needs is to only to perform legitimate protocol interactions with the control plane. So a malicious host or switch is enough. Just like we can use a mobile phone you know. Um however after attacking a vulnerable components handling the malicious customer field we can only introduce limited effect to the network. There are several reasons. First every single component in the controller runs in separate context. For example just like uh independent threat. So the failure of a single component will not affect the availability of others. And second the control the critical components are usually specially protect. As a result is it is difficult to abuse these important ones if we cannot attack them directly. Attack them with these customer fields. So as a result if we want to do something big. Want we need a more complex attack. A multi-stage exploitation to control more resources in the controller. This is the workflow. The lower part is the data plane. Where the network hosts and switches. Normally they cannot directly access the controller because the two networks are always separated. But they will always be able to interact with the controller with using the SDM protocols like the open flow or other things. So uh we need several stages. The first stage is the toe hole stage. This is where we attack the components with customer field. In this step we will inject our craft payload into the customer field and send them to the control plane via legitimate protocol interactions. After the first exploitations we can now control a small number of, we can only control a small number of ASAT in the component. To harvest more control plane ASAT we need a harvest stage. We will need to exploit more vulnerabilities in other components with previous controlled ASAT. For example we can, we may able to launch HTTP request in the first stage. So in the second stage we can leverage this ASAT to do more things. We may access the REST API to issue some commands. So after we controlling a large number of ASAT we try to chain them together to achieve our advanced attack code. And as you can see, instead of merely attacking the components that handle the customer fields, with this attack model we can now able to exploit all kinds of vulnerabilities to hack more components. Okay, now it's time for us to hack something real. First I will show you a radio demo. In this demo we attack an open source controller. It is a popular, maybe the most popular one, the honors. And we, the attack effect is we get a remote show from the controller. Okay, and the honors controller is on a remote machine, the 111. And our compromised switch is this machine, the 108. So, and this is the web component of the honors. We can see that there's no devices in the controller yet. Okay. And we can load our framework to attack the honors controllers and get a system show from the controllers. This is our devices connected. Well, as you can see, we successfully get the system show. Yes. So, this is a exploit chain with multi-stage exploitation that works. So how it actually works? Next, I will give you more details about the DRCE chain. As showing the picture, our target is the get diagnostic function, which read and execute a script from the file system. So, to abuse this function, we need to control two assets, to harvest two assets. The first is the script itself. To execute arbitrary commands, we need to inject payloads into the script. However, controlling the script is not enough. We also need to access the REST API that calls the diagnostic function. As I have mentioned, important components are usually specially protected. So, the REST API is protected by a basic authentication. We need an authentication token for this REST API. Let's check out what asset we can actually control in our first stage. Well, we found access in the web components as you can see. This vulnerability can be explored by a customer field. So now, we can control the assets that expose to the XSS, such as some network configurations. However, we cannot still directly attack our target function. So, let's move on the second stage, the harvest stage. First, let's try to handle the basic authentication issues. We found that the authentication token is stored as plain text at a config file. So, as long as we can control and read this file, we can get the token. This means that we need to find a new vulnerability that can read some contents. After several days' hard work, we find our first zero days in on us. It's an XSE. It can be explored by a customer field that we control. As a result, we can read the token to solve the OAS problem. Now, we can try to control the script asset with the fifth zero day we found in on us. It is a past traversal bug in the on zip function. This function is to handle the zip files uploaded from the web component. Remember that in the first stage, we discover access vulnerability in the web component. Now, we can leverage this access to upload a craft zip file and then overwrite arbitrary files with any content we want. So, finally, we control the script. This is the complete attack graph for the exploit chamber. We use five previously unknown vulnerabilities in three different stages to construct this remote command execution chamber. I'm sorry. So, how about the impact of the customer field? We analyzed five popular SDN controllers and they are fifty four applications. In total, we identify 18 vulnerabilities and construct 24 exploit chains. And all these exploit chains are involved in two or three stages. This is the impact of these exploit chains. We, all these exploit chains we construct can come introduce a serious attack effect to the controller. And this table shows all the zero day we found. We can, as we can see from the last column, every vulnerability can be used to introduce the more than one attack effect. And we found that others has the largest number of vulnerabilities. And I think this is because others is very easy to use. We can install any components we want with a simple click. By contrast, hacking the open day light is very difficult. To install or debug a component, we need to spend the whole afternoon. And usually we find nothing. So, we can only find three bugs in the open day light. So, maybe making your project hard to use can be a great defense. Yes, that's, that's what I found, important findings in our research. Okay, that's all. Thanks for listening. Okay, I forgot him.

A self-taught programmer, he's currently VP of engineering at Ancestry.com. He has a degree from Brigham Young University in Linguistics. Chris and wife Lucy have five sons and three daughters. Chris is passionate about science, technology, religion, philosophy, and the performing arts. Chris is president and co-founder of the Mormon Transhumanist Association. Chris. Good morning, and there shall be earthquakes in diverse places and many desolations, yet men will harden their hearts against me, and they will take up the sword one against another and they will kill one another. And thus with the sword and by blood shed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn, and with famine and plague and earthquake and the thunder of heaven and the fierce and vivid lightning also shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath and indignation and chastening hand of an almighty God until the consumption decreed have made a full end of all nations or the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them and the cow and the bear shall feed their young ones shall lie down together and the lion shall eat straw like the ox and the sucking child shall play on the whole of the asp and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. What makes the difference between these contrasting visions of the future? I think a lot of that depends on what we collectively do. Last year the MTA passed its 10-year anniversary and I wanted to look back a little bit at those 10 years, not too much to take away from Lincoln's presentation later on, but touch on a couple of things. In 2006 when the MTA was founded, transhumanism was not nearly as much in the public consciousness as it is now. You know, some people had heard of it, but it was it didn't get a lot of press. We're starting to see that change and in particular back then religious transhumanism was often considered ridiculous or even inconceivable. I think that has changed dramatically over the past 10 years and I think the MTA has a lot to do with that. We have really spent quite a bit of time engaging with the transhumanist community and we've seen a significant shift in the attitudes there. There are also a growing number of religious transhumanist associations and recently about 18 months ago a number of us were participants in a transhumanism at the church, meaning the Broad Christian Church conference at Samford University. It's also interesting to see what kinds of things have come about technologically over the last 10, 11 years. Things that today just seem commonplace. For example, Netflix started streaming in 2007. YouTube was purchased by Google in 2006 and was Time Magazine's Person of the Year, that year, the same year the MTA was founded. Think about mobile technology. When the MTA was founded the iPhone did not exist. It was introduced in 2007, as was the Kindle. Android phones came along in 2010, the iPad in 2010. We start to see wearable tech coming along. Google Glass, for example, was introduced in 2014. We start to see more smart watches and fitness gear, wearable technology. How about social media space? Facebook changed from a focus simply on schools to open to the general public in 2006. Twitter came on the line in 2007 with broad adoption and GitHub, the open source software repository in 2007. Crowd sourced funding started in 2009 with Kickstarter really, started to really take off. Space exploration, the Mars rover launched in 2011, found water on Mars in 2014, just recently SpaceX for the first time reused a rocket. Energy is changing rapidly. With the introduction of solar shingles, the cost of solar and renewable energy is dropping rapidly. Progress in fundamental physics. The Large Hadron Collider, for example, came online in 2013. We're starting to see economic changes. The gig economy, so to speak, Uber, which launched in 2009, Lyft in 2012, AirBnB 2007, TaskRabbit 2008. Changes in the education space with massive open online courses really starting to take off in 2012 with Udacity and Coursera. And we start to see some of our own folks, including Ben Blair, moving into this space with online degrees with the teacher. Advances in robotics. Many of you may have seen videos of advances with MIT in helping robots achieving balance. Climbing stairs, walking on uneven terrain. Medical technology. We now have DNA editing with CRISPR. 3D printed organs that are being used in human beings, such as jaw reconstructions, tracheal replacements, and the integration of AI with Watson helping with nursing questions. And AI and voice recognition have come a tremendous way in 2011. Watson won the Jeopardy Championship. In 2016, AlphaGo defeated a world champion. And many of us have, in our pockets or in our homes, assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant. Autonomous vehicles. Google started really in about 2008 with autonomous vehicles. And we're seeing this now with broader adoption, with semi-autonomous vehicles as Tesla starts to roll that out. Now, we are starting to reach or to hear some projections that maybe we are nearing the top of the S curve in technological progress. There's a lot of talk about Moore's law and whether Moore's law will continue. Ray Kurzweil, of course, has given us to potentially expand how we think about Moore's law, not just in the specific terms about density on computer chips, but more broadly about advances in technology. Well, Intel recently held a press conference about the progress with regard to Moore's law. And they project with the technologies that they're developing. They will continue to see the same kind of progress. Releases may be less frequent, but the overall rate of progress remains quite steady. Now, one of the interesting things about that particular press conference is that they talked about the fact that in order to sustain Moore's law, they had to have faith in Moore's law. That is, it takes their action as a company to make this prediction continue, harkening back to my earlier readings of prophecy of the future from scripture. We are also seeing many changes in our society in the last 10 years. We experienced a recession in 2008, and we have not recovered from that fully. We see long-term economic consequences from that. We see radically different social interactions due to technology. And we see a lot of changes in religious affiliation with the growth of the nuns. As I look back on the MTA's efforts over the past 10 and a half years, I'm very happy with what I've seen in our humanitarian efforts, where we have supported causes both in the U.S. and overseas, particularly in Africa. We have held and sponsored conferences published in books and papers participated in symposia. So what does the future of the MTA look like? Well, let's take a little look ahead at what might be happening in the next five years. Last year, the World Economic Forum focused on what they call the fourth industrial revolution. This is really where we start to see the blurring of physical, digital, and biological spheres. A convergence of technologies, this is not just independent development of technologies, but we start to see these technologies converging. Technologies such as robotics, AI, nanotechnology, biotech, the Internet of Things, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, and this has tremendous social implications. They anticipate, their predictions anticipate that there will be a lot of technological unemployment. There will also be opportunities created by this, but it requires a significant retooling of the workforce in order to take advantage of these opportunities. They forecast increasing inequality in income and wealth, which we've already been seeing over the past couple of decades, and this greater inequality has a potential for great social unrest. And we forecast continued religious change, for example, and particularly for Mormonism. The LDS Church recently gave its statistical report and has seen the lowest number of convert baptisms in 30 years. We're definitely seeing some changes in the religious landscape. So what is the role of the MTA in this changing world? I want to share some of my own ideas and then talk a little bit about a recent board retreat at which we talked about the mission of the MTA and share a mission statement with you. For me, the MTA grounds my feelings of faith in reason, and it emphasizes the grand vision at the roots of Mormonism, which for me is the uniting of the human family. Now, I want us as an association to branch out from our past 10 years where our focus has primarily been on influencing transhumanists to look more favorably on religion, to making transhumanism a household concept, and to influence government, society, research, and industry to focus on the issues and the solutions relevant to transhumanism. I want the MTA to be involved politically and to lobby for consideration of social issues that are consequent to technological trends. I want to be clear that political and partisan are not the same thing. I want the MTA to be relied upon as a resource for people such as journalists who are interested in these issues. I want the MTA to be as focused on the T of the MTA as on the M, and I want the MTA to publish well-received articulations of Mormon ideas that are accessible to a wide audience. One of the things that we have done over the past year since my election as president is to engage more leaders in the leadership of the of the association, and we have a whole bunch of new board and management team members. If you are in the audience, if you are a board member or a management team member of the MTA, will you please stand up? So take a look around at those people. If you haven't met them, if you haven't engaged with them, please do so. I'm very happy that we have a broader group of people who are involved in helping to run the association, and I'm looking forward to Blair who will be talking about some of the specific initiatives and goals that we are engaged in. I mentioned in January we had a retreat for the board members. We have a new group of, had a new group of board members come on board, and we really wanted to talk about how we can effectively work as a board, and we have come up with this new mission statement that I want to share with you, and it is this. The Mormon Transhumanist Association seeks to effectively mobilize resources including human, cultural, and economic capital to promote the values expressed in the Transhumanist Declaration and the Mormon Transhumanist Affirmation. To do this, the association will become recognized as a thought leader in integrating religion and science, and raising awareness of their practical impacts on society. By drawing on distinctive Mormon theology and practice, emphasizing their Transhumanist implications, and creating communal identity and enthusiasm around religious transhumanism, the association will exemplify a new paradigm for the role of religion in our increasingly technological world. This effort requires all of us. We want to engage more with Mormonism. We have participated in conferences such as the Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology, Sun Stone, and others, and we want to continue and expand our influence there. We want to engage more in public policy discussions and provide a better on-ramp for religious transhumanism, and Blair will talk more about that a little later, and we want to grow and provide structure to groups outside of Utah. Before we started, I was chatting with a couple of folks from the Bay Area talking about how we can expand our meetups there and expand our influence there. And so in the spirit of Mormon leaders of the past, I want to also extend the invitation to you, those of you who are members of the association, every member a missionary. We will be providing some resources for you that will help you to reach out to people that you know and help them understand better what the MTA is about and where we can provide an influence in society. I would love for us to see at the end of this year a thousand members of the MTA where we're now just over 600. And if we can reach out to share this vision with our friends and family, then I believe that we will be able to be the influence that we foresee. Thank you.


Five kilos of my own made super strength hummus. I've been stuck at home recently so I've been doing an awful lot of cooking and I've been musing on the fact that some people don't do this and It's brought home to me recently by the the shock horror national crisis of the hummus shortage That such a substandard easy-to-make product should be not available anyway is a bit of a weird idea to me So I thought what I'd do in this little video. I'd show you how to make what I think is one of the Best and simplest foods you can possibly live on particularly if you're you're a vegan Hummus is made from chickpeas mostly. I get my chickpeas dried You soak them for 12 to 15 hours before you want to start making it and they double in size so they go from these little tiny balls into big fluffy balls and They then have to be cooked and it takes quite a while to cook chickpeas Using an ordinary saucepan That's because they're quite hard So I what I like to use is a pressure cooker and pressure cookers for most people are a bit of a gray area They work like this that if you put water in a saucepan and boil it Once it gets to 100 degrees the temperature doesn't get any higher If you turn the burner up it just boils more intensely, which is just wasting energy So the idea of a pressure cooker is that by putting a lid on the pressure rises As the pressure rises the boiling point rises my big six liter pressure cooker when it boils at 12 pounds per square inch It's boiling at 115 to 117 degrees and the hotter temperature cooks the food more quickly And so in half the time using the same burner is using half the energy so it's more efficient So I put my chickpeas onto boil it takes about an hour Come up to temperature and hiss away And in the meantime using the hour I'm going to prepare all the other ingredients to make my hummus We start with the garlic now one of the things I really believe is that cooking is a way to express a way of life and I love garlic and Preparing garlic is a tactile process and you could use the food process for this really really quickly But it's far more fun and meditative and therapeutic to do it all by hand And most of this process apart from the pressure cooker is going to be done by hand and so Get the big bulbs big bulbs easier to peel break them up Get all the little cloves and then you have to peel each one individually Which takes a little while until you end up with a big heap of garlic cloves This is a very big knife. I'm using and if you want to do a good job. You need the right tools Knives like this everybody looks at the sharp edge and they have quite a nice sharp edge But there's that big flat edge on the other side and that's deliberate because that big flat edge is ideal for crushing By crushing the garlic we squeeze out more of the juices and oils and that flavor can then go into our food And it's quite a slow process and you can listen to the radio you can listen to music It's what it is. It's not meant to be a chore. It's meant to be a relaxing therapeutic hour or two Spent making some hummus, which will last you perhaps a month It is a bit noisy, as we said, it is a bit noisy So here we are. Here's our Roughly 400 grams of garlic if you are buying shop. You want it like it is in the shop She'd want about 150 or 200 300 minimum I would use. I like my garlic strong So now let's make some lemon juice When you buy lemons that are old, but they're not ripe So I like to keep my lemons for a week. They become more soft and more juicy and a much better flavor And you start by just chopping them all up into halves You could use a lemon squeezer, but I far prefer to use my fingers Again tactile Really therapeutic process.  Of course if you wanted to buy the lemon juice you could but Let bought lemon juice is usually pasteurized. It's not as nutritional Benefit as as actual lemons So we've been leaving our chickpeas to cook When they come out of the pressure cooker when it's under pressure, they're still really hot So we cool the pressure cooker lid with cold water As the pressure cooker comes off the boil Take the lid off and you can see it's still boiling under its own heat So good idea drain them and rinse them in cold water This not only takes them off the ball so you don't burn yourself But you also don't ball off the important garlic oils I like to use a hand masher. You could use a Liquidizer, but it would have to be a big industrial strength for this job. So actually again a hand masher cheap easy very therapeutic Now we start mixing everything together now I've just given it a very rough mashing in order to burst the chickpeas Now I'm adding the the garlic and the lemon juice and the oil And all that goes in and again. I don't give it a really heavy mash But just enough to mix it all together But now we start mashing in earnest the lemon juice is liquid. It helps finish that But the really difficult step is the tahini tahini is very thick. It's very oily It's not going to want to mix with your wet chickpeas At the moment. I'm using tahini from jars It's not ideal. I would prefer to get the the three kilo big packs if only because it saves an awful lot of wastage And it's slightly cheaper This is a whole tahini. That's the whole Seed ground up much better for you has about three times the amount of calcium in there's more calcium in this weight for weight than dairy products I'm adding a little bit of warm water not boiling just warm water And I'll add about half a liter at the time I get to the end If you want the shop bought stuff Then I call that emulsion paint you need to add a liter to at least two liters to get it that runny But I like my hummus quite thick. This is about five minutes of mashing Produces a lovely even I like to call it crunchy texture because there's still a lot of lumps in there It's not like the shop bought stuff, which is which is a puree. There's no texture to it at all I make my hummus about once a month You can't keep a big container hummus in the fridge for a month. It will go off So what I do I have all these small containers and I decant the hummus into the container And freeze them all first of all I allow them to air cool to room temperature Then I put them in the fridge and they cool to fridge temperature and then I put them in the freezer And the reason for doing that is it uses less energy to call them because they're mostly passively cool If you put them straight into the freezer, very bad idea the fridge will use an awful lot of energy to cool them down So I fill up all the containers one by one they get frozen Then when I want a pot of hummus, I take it out of the fridge Allow it to stand on the table for two or three hours to let it defrost on its own And then it's usable last little bits taken out and I like to make mine in five kilo batches purely because it's a trade-off between Effort and time. It's a couple of hours once a month Not a big chore and it's actually quite a nice time off and we don't have enough time off in our lives We're we're so busy in this modern consumer society doing we don't have enough time being and For me hummus is a therapy It's a way of being of getting in touch with your food and really enjoying it So here's a list of ingredients These are shop bought prices super store prices if you were to run a whole food cop You could buy in bulk get them a lot cheaper Also, the price of the tahini is very high again because I'm not able to get the the big free kilo tubs at the moment But that would make it a lot cheaper And here we are five kilos of homemade super strength hummus now of course the last chore eat the hummus and I have to say this is the best part of the whole gig. I always start with the saucepan Don't wash it up.


Thanks for checking out this movie review. This is for a creep show Animated special and it is coming to shutter on the 29th Thursday October 29th So I'm putting this review out early because I got a screener from shutter. Thank you shutter And for that reason it'll be no spoilers also I can't give synopses of the two stories involved with this Because it's been asked that we don't give any sort of indicators on plot or storyline with the with the stories Because they don't want you know people's experiences to be ruined with the show which makes sense Which I wasn't going to do anyway because I always do these as no spoilers anyway, so no problem there But just know no spoilers, but once everyone sees it we can go ahead and have spoiler talks in the comments So just know that So this one stars Keyford, Sutherland as the main voice acting for the first story and Joey King is the main acting for voicing for the second story now Most people know Keyford Sutherland. I don't need to go into movies for him But for Joey King she was in such things as the act slender man Independence Day resurgence Quarantine and the conjuring so it's had a lot of work Do do do there were some portions missing for the portion that I saw now you guys will be getting the finished version I got a few where the animations weren't colored It was just kind of sketches at certain points and there was like a running time on my screen So it would be much cleaner for you guys, but I could look past that stuff and do you know get it get a good experience with it so it was it was interesting because because this is Animated in the beginnings typically there's an animation with the episodes of creep show on shutter where the The creep in the beginning is animated and then it goes to the real life You know real life stories shot in real life So they flipped it in this one and the creep is real life and then it goes to animation Which I thought was cool, but then they keep it animation at the end So I I thought it was a cool kind of twist to it now that said the animation style I don't think everyone's gonna like the animation style for me It was a little weird at first, but I did get used to it I also see that it's kind of a time-saver version of doing animation But it's gonna be a personal preference thing like some people were really like the animation Some people were really not like the animation. It's one of those where there's not a whole lot of movement It's not full animation is in like people's you know mouths are moving while they're talking and Articulating normally it's one of those ones where it kind of sets the scene It's like a hybrid between actual animation and a comic book cell So it kind of sets the scene and then there are just articulations at certain points in the scene at the end Those things move a little bit, but not everything so like a prime example would be you know say I'm the animation cell and I have my arms like this So maybe just my arm moves like this during it because I'm doing something or both my arms move Or I just do like a movement like this, you know, it's not full articulations So like I said, it was a little weird for me at first, but I got used to it But that said the animation looks pretty good. It does look good and it's I think it's fun to do an episode like this It's away from the norm So the stories are The stories are the first one is called survivor type and that is based on a Stephen King story And the second one is called Twittering from the circus of the dead and that is based on a joe hill story So we're doing the Stephen King family stories, which you know, that's not a big departure from what creepsha has been doing They have pulled from joe hill before they've pulled from Stephen King before so This is really no exception There are some animated cameos in the stories that I will not tell you about So just be on the lookout for those when you watch it Those are always fun those little bits of uh, you know, easter eggs. I like it So with the first story, uh, because of the the animation style and this actually holds true for both the stories, honestly When movements happen things morph in kind of weird ways So sometimes it just looks a little odd and doesn't seem like it's really working Especially with face facial things like when Faces are moving in certain ways like the morphing of them and the animation looks really weird So that's one of the things I didn't really like but You kind of get past that you get used to it. It's not that big of a deal There is a solid way that the story gradually reveals itself with darker portions of the overall story But also keeping kind of a nonchalant Conversational tone to it to keep it moving. So it's dropping like these darker pieces in there That do resonate with you, but then it keeps moving in a very nonchalant way where You know, you you don't have a full the full time to really stop and reflect on that Which I think ends up working for the story in the end Because then once everything hits in the end and you you know, everything stops after that You have more time to think and then that makes you think back even further in the story To those little darker pieces that were kind of littered throughout the story until the very very end Keith or Sutherland's Keith for Sutherland's voice acting in this is excellent. He does an amazing job with this You can feel the emotion. You can hear everything in his voice. It is outstanding It is a great narration for this. I really really did enjoy it So in the end the story is a very human one that plays on the surface But it also plays more in word as kind of a look at who people are and who they become through events and choices within their own lives So that doesn't give anything away, but you'll know what I'm talking about once you've seen it and then you hear that Now I will say the ending for me. I thought was pretty Uh unsettling so obviously it had impact. So I liked the overall story of it. It was good I I did enjoy it Now on to the second one. Oh, I guess I should give a star rating just for that one So out of five stars with half stars and play that particular story I'm going to go ahead and give it a I give it a three and a half three and a half stars pretty solid. I did enjoy that one So twittering from the circus of the dead. This was the joe hill story There's a real younger generation perspective to this which Annoyed me a little bit. I know for some viewers They're really going to hate this story because of the the younger generation perspective to the entire story And you'll see what I mean. It's very much seen in the narration. It's not just the content of it, which some people may may not like the whole approach to how the story is told But I think even more so people are not going to like the narration of it by joey king because of the character That she is portraying can be very annoying for people and was Quite annoying for me I got a little bit used to it and was able to see past it for the full experience of the story itself But I know some people are really going to hate this one Because of that character because of the character through which the entire story is being told so Be prepared The narration styled by the main character keeps the story from being scary and suspenseful which kind of Sucks, but also has an ultimate point to it. So I'm okay with it for that reason I I wanted to be able to experience it as a little more scary and suspenseful But I understand the point of it. So I'm okay with that being used once again I think that's something that people are not going to like about this though The animations end up becoming very interesting as it gets further to the end of the story Because it goes from being a more simplistic animation in the beginning Not how it's animated, but you know, what's in frame what's actually going on It's pretty stationary and not very interesting at first But then it gets more interesting more interesting until towards the end It's getting very interesting and there's a lot more going on on screen. So Becomes a lot more engaging and fun The story has a very satirical bent to it That's tied to social media use and how it influences human reactions So once again, that doesn't give anything away about the story But once you've seen it, you'll understand what I mean by that. So in the end, I felt like it was a pretty good finish to it The story I didn't feel like was as impactful as the first one But the nature of what they're trying to say with it and the delivery specifically Of the narration of the main character kind of keeps it from being as impactful But I think that's you know kind of intentional with it So both of them I thought were pretty pretty decent. So this one Uh with possibility of five stars with half stars in play I'm gonna put this one at a 2.5 two and a half I'm gonna put it right in the middle I was thinking about going a three because I do like the story. I do like the overall theme of it But that narration is it's a little bit tough To enjoy And it messes with enjoyment of the story for me and I think for a lot of other people too But some people will be totally fine with it. So whatever So, um, yeah, so 3.5 for the first one 2.5 for the second one. I don't think that's bad at all I would say obviously that averages out to this episode. I give it a three out of five stars I do recommend watching it, especially if you've seen all the other episodes of creep show I think in general usually with the with the creep show episodes It would be like one of the stories was was pretty good and the other story was the With this, I think it's a little bit better than that maybe so Yeah, but uh, I enjoyed it and I'm interested to see what other people think Like I said, we can do spoilers in the comments once people have seen it once it's out on thursday the 29th of october So then let's talk spoilers Do me a quick favor though hit that subscribe button That is your best way to repay me for this video or any video I've ever done And I do really appreciate that it really does make me You know more motivated to keep doing these videos when I see that because I'm not getting paid to do this or anything It's just for the love of doing these reviews, you know and knowing that people are actually Consuming it out there But if you are going to do that also hit that The notification bell Because that way you know when i'm putting up new reviews or unboxings or doing live streams any of that stuff But regardless, thanks for taking your time to check this out and until next time keep it brutal


What's up guys, welcome to today's vlog. So today what we're gonna do is a long cut. We're gonna do it all dry. So I wanna talk to you guys about dry hair cutting, some of the myths, some of the different things that people think about dry hair cutting, the prep work that goes into dry hair cutting. Then at the end, we're gonna style this two different ways. We're gonna get this beautiful layered long haircut. So I hope you guys like it. Make sure you subscribe below. Also in this video, you're gonna see me during the voiceover. So let me know what you think of that if it helps explain things because in this video, I wanted to explain things a little bit better because it's a more technical technique. So I hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think in the comments below. And again, hit that subscribe button and also like this video and share it with your friends. Here we go. All right guys, so the first thing I want you to notice is that we're working off of a center part. If your guest parts on the left or right hand side, you're gonna do the exact same thing I'm doing. Just make that shift of the parting because you wanna be cutting where their part lives. So what I'm doing is I'm over directing the hair. I'm taking a diagonal forward parting off of their original part and going all the way to the hairline and over directing that to me. So I'm over directing it over top of the part. What that's doing is giving me that over direction that I'm looking for, which will help create a nice soft face frame and will push the weight away from my hand off to the side of the face. So that's the first thing. The second thing is the technique that we're using. We're not just cutting a face frame, we're using the stroking technique. So the key thing with this technique, we're gonna get into it more as we move along, but I want to kind of break it down for you guys. So what I'm doing is I'm opening the scissor and I'm closing it down on the hair.  We're gonna do an overhead view so you'll be able to see more as we move forward in this video. But right now it's key to understand just the partings that I'm taking. So diagonal forward on both sides, over directing it to the opposite side. So now I'm working on the left-hand side of the mannequin. So I'm over directing it to the right-hand side of the mannequin. That's gonna give me that soft angle in the fringe. Now, do you have to worry about elevation as much with this cut? When you're doing the stroking technique, elevation doesn't play as much of a role as if I'm cutting blunt lines. But I still want to keep that elevation nice and high. So I take my parting, I over direct it over the forehead. Elevate it up just to make it nice and light. Get my body position right. And then I'm opening the scissor as I pull away. So we open the scissor out, close the scissor down. So it's just open out, close down. That's the key thing with this cut is just making sure that you make that connection when you bring the scissor down. Then you can create a nice little face frame with it. You could see the peaceiness that happens in the face frame. This is a great technique for creating that movement. Now we're gonna move on to the back of the head. And I'm still gonna be using the stroking technique. Everything's coming straight out. This is where we're gonna start to break down the technique and you can watch it in slow motion. So I want you guys to see how I open the scissor up and then I close and cut and bring it back open.  I practice that technique. So when I'm sitting there and I'm working on how I want this to connect, I don't necessarily have to have hair in front of me. What I work on is when I lift the hair I open, when I put my hand down I close. And I just keep working this technique, practicing it over and over again. Once you have that motion down and you can close down on the hair, then you've got the technique. So really working on it without hair in your hand first works really well. So we'll just go through, we're over directing everything straight back from the head. What this is doing is giving us more of a square feel on the back, which is more of an even base. So just over directing everything back to us, cutting those layers. The other thing I want you to see as we're doing this technique is where I start cutting and where I end in the cut. So I start in the mid shaft and then my hand is sliding away. This is a difference between the front and the back. In the back I slide away because I'm creating almost like a concave feel to the layers because I'm cutting really short and then getting a lot longer towards the back. So that sliding motion that I'm doing is just keeping length on the bottom. So it starts off nice short textured layers and then gets a little bit longer. So that's a really cool way to do that, to cut those short layers but keep length. So same thing, you can see I'm over directing everything straight back to me, keeping it nice and square but getting those nice short layers in there. So this technique's cool. A lot of people ask, what's the difference between that and point cutting? The biggest difference for me is that it gives you even more of a broken line. A broken line that is a little bit harder to achieve if you're going vertically into the hair. So just allowing you to come down, cut the hair and release it. You can also cut more of a structured line with it as well. So I'm using the Vibra straight iron. What I wanna do and achieve with this is just to show off those pieces that we've created. So I give a little bend to it to smooth out the ends and you can see that separation. That's all from the stroking technique. I haven't done any other cutting on that face frame. So working my way through and doing the same thing on the opposite side, just showing off that face frame. Now what I'm gonna do is I just go through with an inch and a half curling iron and I curl it back off of the face, leaving the ends out just a little bit. I like that look. Gives it more of a textured feel, more of a beachy feel. So I go through, just curl it off of the face. Then what I'm gonna do is just run my hands into it. Again, also on the top, curling it off the face and then as I run my hands through it'll break up those curls a little bit and give me my finished style. Couple more pieces. When I went through, I curled everything off of the face but then just to go back through and give it a little detail. After I run my hands through it, then I'll run through and just see if there's any other pieces that I wanna add a little bit of wave to or a little curl and then we get our end result. So there is all the textured layers that we created in the back. I think it's really cool for you guys to be able to see that visually and then you can see that face frame when it's off of the face like that. Just a really cool look. So hope you guys find this technique useful in the salon. I believe that it's a technique that you can use on your guests all the time and it has a great result. Hope you guys like it.

I feel like you're going to be very unsure You know, I feel like there might be a concern About this person's commitment issues and for them to be coming in and doing this Yeah, you're kind of like I don't really know in some ways You don't have your head in the clouds. Your feet are firmly planted on the ground here Okay, I don't know why spirit led me to start doing you here But right when I said that we as a king of swords, so you could be connecting with someone who's an air energy Okay Libra Gemini Aquarius This definitely feels like a connection here that could have been your person They could have air in their sign somewhere or it's just an energy of them They come in that way where? I'm very intentional. I feel like this person coming in with this ring or this offer of partnership or commitment Has been thinking about this they've been strategizing they've been really like they're intentional they've been taking some time to think about Coming your way, but you know with the seven of cups. I feel like there may have been a lot of Instability in this connection here between the two of you and I definitely feel like neither one of you were able to commit to each other Maybe one wasn't and then therefore the other wasn't able to and vice or about it, you know vice versa But we're gonna take a look at these the you know the king of swords and for some of you You are the king of swords very intentional with your Moving on here And you could be with you know, this could be a queen of pentacles coming in for you as well Where it's an energy this person showing up very stable and grounded So let's take a look here, and that's just a small percent of you See this feels like a roller coaster to me You know, but it is definitely weighing some options. So I get a sense Virgo that you're gonna be Maybe you have another option as well You know either an air sign or an earth sign or just another person Coming in or you're speaking with right now that you're not You may not be going in deep with this person yet Because you're still healing from a past relationship and then you know, there's there's definitely an energy of someone's in April There's an offer of commitment or engagement some type of partnership. I can tell you that And I'm seeing here. This two of pentacles is like, wow, I Get away my options Even if I want to allow this person to come back in Because this engagement ring is kind of like someone showing up with an actual Like showing you giving you something tangible proof or evidence that This is something that they want.  Here's my promise. Here's the here's the proof Here's what I want to share with you.  So the two options the two choices You're gonna have an April is whether to take this back or not or You're gonna have two people this past person to choose or somebody new coming or someone you're Someone who could be in your periphery or is in your periphery and Trying to get into your world In April, my goodness Yeah, look, I saw the night of pentacles. Why is it doing this? Hold on you guys. I Said it for like I guess I can only be 30 minutes So I was seeing this to a pentacle or night of pentacles when That engagement ring showed up. This is coming in with that offer Tangible see how he's holding that pinnacle showing giving Let me take a look at Somebody else here. Who is this person? What's coming in with? What are they coming in with? Okay, now we have the queen of wands Okay, so it could be a fire sign as well For some of you this person showing up Aries Leo, Sagittarius Let's see Two swords while the night of cups. That's what I'm saying This person's had like a change of heart. They're seeing things differently and the devil Well, this person's coming in basically With compromise They're ready to compromise they're making this decision here to come in and make this offer to you I have Pisces energy. We have Capricorn Virgo Taurus Gemini Aquarius Libra this person. I feel they're in this totally new headspace at this time totally Let's take a look and see what's going on. Why? Okay, that devil energy this person can't let you go They just refuse their obsessed with you and this feels like the person you're healing this heartbreak from Okay, but let's take a look and see why this obsession.  They can't stop It's like an addiction here And that might have that might have had a played a role in the relationship where this person it seemed like they Had a hard time Letting you go but yet they couldn't maybe commit or something was going on There it felt like I'm just feeling like very toxic energy But it also feels like this person in a time period of being apart. They've had transformation They've had growth. Let's see.  I mean we keep getting the same readings You bring them peace.  I don't think that you felt that way about this person Because either you know, it's crazy. It's like why would somebody and Relationship or why did you guys split up if this person felt like you brought a sense of peace and because they were very insecure and Having you made them feel more secure without them understanding how to be secure within themselves Okay Also, there might have been somebody else in the picture that you would know about Where they have blocked that person now. That was a bad decision.  This is healing from that shadow or healing from that devil energy Okay, this is rest retreat renewal solitude recovery Okay So I feel like you might have had somebody that you perhaps wanted Where there was a possibility of commitment or partnership of some sort or again, maybe even engagement But something didn't work out in the past just didn't go the way. Maybe you had hoped Something must have happened. I feel definitely here some of the things that I said I mean this hang men energy is very much like this is like Jesus on the cross, you know This is like brainwashing look at the glow around his head, you know this person like with that card It's it's like, you know, okay. Yeah, this is the situation. I'm in but not You know, I got myself into this situation and Virgo left Virgo was like, no Not doing it anymore. It's done. I'm gonna heal Transform. I'm not going back. I'm done, you know, let this person figure out what they need to figure out for themselves But I can't do it for them and it kind of feels like this person has like this Wow, I got myself into this. I got to get myself out of this kind of thing now You know, this is like just having a different seeing things differently now gaining some wisdom What's going on here with this the hangman What was the deal with this hangman Look two of cups.  But this person as you're doing this and If they went with somebody else or they were connecting with another person or thinking things were grass is gonna be greener on the other side They're actually very lonely. Show me this now They're I'm also picking up there was a heavy attachment to a mother figure who had a heavy influence on them or a father Somebody had there's a parental figure. All right, show me this queen of wands here Okay, ten of cups. Why? Okay, Duff My goodness So if there's a parental figure There might have been an influence like something that this might just be for a small Few of you, but I'm just getting if they were to get involved with you The family wouldn't approve and now I'm seeing this person Has with the death card and the ten of cups like they're there I guess it's in a way like cutting off the family connection right Very heavily heavy heavy family influence and also if they were married to another person or in a Relationship with that other person that other person has cut it off and in in that In doing that they've also come to terms with What they've lost which is you and that night of cops here They're coming in excuse me without that true blue love offer like to really Come in and like tell you that they love you they want to be with you They want to get married they want to it offer an engagement ring or talk about it or talk about You know getting back into a committed relationship if you were in that with them in the past Let me just take a look.  They don't want to hear anything from anyone the decision that they're making is coming from within They've heard enough. They've seen enough They understand And they've weighed all of their options they've they've seen they've asked advice They've talked to people other people have given them advice and now they've gone in and They're blocking out everything and everyone and they're like summing up the total of What they've discovered and what they've learned and and this this decision now is really coming from within them It's you know, I don't feel like it's an energy of oh, okay. Well the person they were with doesn't want them So now they're coming back. I don't feel it's like that. I feel like Whatever was going on with somebody else or others It just wasn't it didn't go anywhere. It would not go anywhere Now if you know that your person is married to another person like they've they've moved on and they're married to that person I'm kind of getting a sense that that isn't going so well Okay, and they do have you on their mind At this time heavily so much so that they do want to come in And make that proposal. Okay, let me take a look here at this night of cups Now I'm also getting some Piscian energy. I think I've said that and I'm getting it twice Okay Coming in with that Queen of Swords Coming in with truth. They are really being honest here about this offer proposal. This is truth.  They could be They're more of a I want to say well, it's definitely mercury So I do feel in a lot of ways this Queen of Swords can represent your energy also I'm Thinking about you making the offer to you because the Queen of Swords can represent Virgo sometimes with the mercury energy where Queen of Swords is very analytical and she's Self-sufficient and very truthful which she knows a Virgo trait and I feel like There's a similarity between the two of you. It's very strange. It's like there's a similarity but not exactly the same there's something about the two of you that You you kind of jived well in your communication Not so much your love communication. I don't think there was a lot of love talk there might have been a lot of surface or current events or conversations like that that you guys are really good at you know communicating with one another about but this person so they are coming through it's like This is love offer is like very logical.  They've thought about it here are all the ways that this can work the logistics You know It's it's it's not coming in with you know a bleeding heart. It's it's not that kind of energy It's like I've thought about things and I've sorted things out in my head and logically I think we can make this work and you know We can figure out all the details But I really love you and I want to be with you and I'm screwed up But I made a huge mistake and I want to show you and I don't want us to be in commitment or partnership And you know even have here's a ring, you know as a token of my love, you know So it kind of feels like that's the energy coming in with this person Yeah, look like I said This person is just completely blocked out other people and and not even those that were giving them the advice or saying things to them But everybody they they've just they've blocked out a person That they maybe they were connecting with or that person blocked them and that gave them a chance to like I feel like there's a lot of Hiding away, but this person is so stuck and obsessed on This decision that they're making it's like all they can think about it's almost as if this is something I feel like this person has to do and if they're just obsessed with How they're gonna do it and what they're gonna say to you about how to do this together Okay, so they're coming in with a lot of ideas and stuff, but like I said, I'm not I'm not seeing like full-blown room It's not a romantic get-down-on-the-knee It's more like Here's my bloody stump leg and Let me show you how I hopped on over here and let me show you how I figured this out, you know Let me show you my boot, you know, let me show you my shoe like it's like very logical Like, you know coming in with like it's all practical You know how this is gonna happen and how all this how I think we can do this and you know all that stuff So, I mean, I feel like you could appreciate that in a lot of ways or ago because you're pretty logical and practical yourself Who is this king of sorts? I just need to know This king of sorts.  So it's It's someone who's got water or air in their chart somewhere. It could be Their Sun sign could be air and then they have water Honestly, I feel like The way I'm looking at this card now, honestly, they're telling me that Their Sun sign could be air and then their rising sign water And if you don't know it, don't worry about it or their Sun sign could be water and their rising sign air But either way, it's two right and it could be this two Decisions here like I was saying you could have two choices whether to accept the offer for commitment or not you could also have two people in Your periphery right now who are you you will be very attached or detached from so a water sign Cancer Scorpio Pisces and an air sign leverage. I'm an I Aquarius now They could be current or they could be showing up in April either way What separates you from them Virgo is the seven of cups Where you're in think you're in your think tank. You're in your mode here Like I said, you're healing and you have you haven't even been thinking About making any grand gestures or moves You know in the sense like when it comes to love I feel like if you've got two people showing up here There's gonna be a lot of I don't know who to choose that's gonna be playing out And it could just be do I do I let the past person return because they're coming in with that bloody stump or Do I Try somebody new and try to go that way because the past person hurt you. There's a lot of hurt Let me take a look at you here Queen of pentacles Remember the it's it's male or female energy. So Let's see For the most part I feel like you are sitting in the queen of pentacles, okay? So you have the Sun so some of you might be on the cusp of Leo Virgo You're definitely trying to stay very positive right now in your life And you're definitely waiting for warmer weather That's for sure or you're waiting for the warmer weather to cool so you can go into, you know, the fall Let me see Or you're in the fall. Oh look now. We've got the king of pentacles. So that's twice. Okay, you could be Out in the open or out in public right now with another earth sign As well that could be happening as well Hmm, it's interesting because there's three queens and there's three kings So whenever we have a lot of court cards like that, it's kind of hard to sort out who's who or what's why but I will say There's two people showing up in your reading here. Okay, as usual.  It feels like you've got someone from the past Who's coming in to make the love offer? You've got someone new that could be showing up in April and you also could be communicating with someone Presently are going into April who's also interested in you There's a lot of love happening in April, you know, I feel like April is April's always that month where people start, you know Really connecting It's not cuffing season, but it's just I don't know something everybody's getting ready for the season to change That's why Virgo you've got Two of pinnacles you've got where you're weighing your options. That's what this is what's going on with you here This is 100% weighing many options actually Weighing a few So you have suitors And some you know, there could be a thing these some of these suitors could just be friends But it seems like everybody wants to piece you everybody wants to want your heart everybody wants you like Wants to be with you.   You might have somebody That you're talking to at this time it's just a friend that's giving you a lot of love and support Or taking you out on dates, you know like romantic dates Or just you know spending time with you or wanting to spend time with you with you Which is really great, but you're also in a position here where?   This is person's Chinese sign So there's a bunch of people we're gonna look at yours.  Okay, we have year of the pig Year of the ox we have year of the goat again, which means there could be two people who are of the same Chinese sign Okay, we have year of the dragon as usual year of the horse and Let me know if this resonates for you. Okay, we have year of the monkey Okay, we have year of the rabbits and Another rabbit so that's twice two rabbits. We have year of the snake We have year of the rooster The dragon is showing again and we have year of the dog Okay. All right Let's do your romance angels if that helps quantify or qualify for you who that might be that's great Could be both of you Could be just you All right, let's take a look here. What do the romance angels have to say for Virgo? We have deception and engagement.  Well, like I said, I don't feel like somebody's coming in here and blowing smoke Excuse me, but this deception card, you know, I feel like this is you I feel like you're putting on a mask Because of the seven of cups here Seven of cups is an energy of like kind of living in fantasy land like Up in the clouds. You're not really grounded. You are grounded But when it comes to trying to make this decision in April, I feel like you're really not gonna tell anybody or say anything I feel like you might just kind of You know if the past person's coming back in There might not have been closure there might still be things that you want to say to this person or that need to be said and You might just not say anything and act like everything's okay because I just kind of feel like You know, it's this is just an overwhelming kind of thing for you and with new people You know that you could be talking to or have coming into your life You may not reveal That you know, you still have feelings for your ex or you may not reveal that you're Holding back a little bit Because maybe they come in the axe comes in and wants to hook up you may you may not be saying anything to anybody You're still healing. You don't really want to tell anybody that you you know, you want to be on your own Because your heart's broken. Like you it's not like it's shameful It's just you just they're trying to keep your privacy. I think in some way But like I said here here's engagement now twice. Somebody is coming in Whoever your person is Definitely a past person, but also there's new people, you know Somebody you could have some a couple of people saying wow, I would just want to marry you like you are Like you're my you're someone I could I think I said this in the reading yesterday that some of you might have missed Where there's an energy of like oh, I could get around Virgo for the rest of my life There's just something about you that you just have this uniqueness and this reservedness, but you're such a sensual lover and I don't know what's going on with you in April. What changes you're making or what you're doing, but You're looking really good Okay, you have the true love card. This is the romance of a lifetime so Lot of love energy coming in here for you Virgo a lot Some oracle messages love messages here see what's going on for you Virgo This is really a lovely reading. I mean you know Some of you were going through your dry season or you've been going through a dry season and This is just the ebb and flow of life, you know when dry seasons don't last forever And then when it rains of course, that's what I feel like is going on here. Hey mastery. You've learned the spiritual lesson Forgiveness for giving yourself or another will help you move forward. I think that's pretty self-explanatory Healing old wounds and childhood issues need revisiting and your soulmate loves accepts and respects you unconditionally I can't really tell you exactly who this is that these energies are but as far as like this past person I can tell you because that's who I feel like is coming in I Feel like that's the person that you are Hoping will have some kind of change in their life But at the same time, you're not you're not laying there Waiting I feel like a lot of you are just getting on with your life and I do kind of feel like that is What's causing someone to realize they made a bad choice? They made a bad decision or they made a mistake either choosing somebody else or listening to family or Not making the decision on their own or if they were they made some huge mistakes Or if there was like drug or alcohol addiction or something and now they're in recovery There's just a bit of like some waking up to things here again This is not a reading where I'm saying to you. Oh, you should just take them back We'll eat nearly no I say all the time and I keep repeating it. What do I always say if This person isn't coming back on their bloody stumps and they're willing to you know limp for you for the rest of their life And they're gonna show it to you if you want to give them a chance to prove it fine But you should not have to stop your world or stop living your life or you know going on other romantic dates or things like that You should not be sitting and dwelling on someone you should be healing I'm moving on and making your life better and a lot of you have done that and a lot of you just took up the notion Hey revenge is a dish best served cold.  I'm not gonna, you know, wallow I've had my grief. I'm sewing my heart back up again And I'm just gonna keep moving forward and that's what I'm saying that even when you do that Virgo And you actually because a lot of time I feel like it's like well How come I can't meet anybody and then the next conversation is well can't stop thinking about my ex It's because you're still you're still energetically allowing that to happen, right? I don't feel like a lot of you are sitting there Purposely trying to think about them some of you are just going about your day and they keep popping up in your mind And that might happen But you don't have to allow that to continuously happen in other words if some of your ex you're having struggle Letting go of that, you know time is your friend Virgo if be friends with time But when you can't stop from thinking when the thoughts and the triggers pop up, but you can choose To not dwell on them you can make that decision say, okay, I see that person's popped up in my mind And all right, I'm gonna give it like one minute of thought and then that's it. I'm gonna move on right and I that kind of does That's how releasing the energy that sometimes how people wind up coming back into your life. Not everybody comes back, but people who realize If they've been left out in the cold or there is you know, they made a bad decision You go through the nostalgia fades, which is that six of cups energy nostalgia pops back in Thinking about the past.
