Between 2019 and 2021, about 19 officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission have been gotted by fire. The most of the incidents have occurred in majorly three states, namely Aqaibom, Abiyah, Anambara and Imo State. Others are Borunum, Eboni, Kranu, the FCT, Ondo and others. While some were burnt by hoodlums, others took place under mysterious circumstances. But all these attacks be a means to undermine the upcoming 2023 elections. And also, what are the financial implications of these attacks? Well, joining us to discuss this is Fester Sokoye. He is the Chairman Information and Voter Education for the Independent National Electoral Commission. He's joining us live from Abuja. Thank you very much, Mr. Sokoye, for joining us. Thank you so much. I mean, the first question on everybody's minds is why is INEC all of a sudden a target and why is Ahsen the order of the day for 19 of your offices? Well, we really don't want to speculate relating to the motives for this particular attack. But as you know, INEC offices are part of the symbols of our democracy and the house sensitive and non-sensitive electro materials. So when these offices are attacked, they destroy sensitive electro materials. They destroy this part of the symbols of our democracy. And they also lead to, it also leads to a setback in relation to our preparations for elections. Unfortunately, some of these offices we are prototype offices. Some of them we are really renovated, preparedly to the conduct of the 2023 elections. But what we are having within a period of three weeks, we had attacks in three of our offices. So many materials were destroyed. Cubicles were destroyed. Ballot boxes were destroyed. Generators were destroyed. Sensitive electro materials were destroyed. GP tanks were destroyed and so on. So we are really, really worried because we feel and we have felt that it is important for us to begin early to prepare for the 2023 elections. And we have audited all the materials in all our 774 local governments to know the materials we still have in stock and also the ones we have where there is a shortfall so that we can begin to replace some of these materials before the 2023 elections. But with this pet of attacks, it's difficult for us to really keep a tap of what we have and what we need to replace and it's quite unfortunate. It makes me really wonder, when INEC does finish elections and life continues as it was, is there a concern for where these things are stored? What is the protection level that is being put? Because I mean I've driven by, I've gone to, I've interviewed people in INEC offices and it's not as secure as one would want it to be. Is it because maybe you didn't see this coming, you didn't expect that these kind of things would be happening? I mean you have been in the field over and over and you've seen people take ballot boxes and people come with guns. Why not protect the offices where these ballot boxes and polling, you know, offices are? Why can't we think of that? I know, I mean the government does have, it's what costs us for is we're dealing with Boko Haram and Banditry. I mean this is another issue to be brought to the attention of the federal government but can INEC look at other ways of securing its offices, especially because of the sensitive materials that are in them? You know, the conduct of elections is a massive electoral operation and because it's a massive electoral operation, the commission has zonas stones where some materials are kept, both sensitive and non-sensitive materials. And then we also keep some of the materials at our local government offices and we try as much as possible to employ security guards to protect some of these materials. But when you have a person who is determined to work on our offices, there's very, very little you can do. And you know that our country is going through a very, very difficult period now through a very, very challenging phase. The security agencies are having their own challenges and their own difficulty. And then the commission is also having difficulty keeping track of some of our offices and also protecting them to the extent that we can secure our electoral materials. And it is on the basis of this that the commission has someone an emergency meeting with all these residential electoral commissioners for one of the next week and thereafter on Friday, we are going to meet at the level of the Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security with all the security agencies for us to map out clear strategies on how to protect this national access, these national monuments and these symbols of our democracy. You don't some of the materials that we have in these offices, you don't buy them off the shelf. And some of these materials take between six months and 12 months to procure. So when these materials are pumped, it creates very challenging problems for us. Now, for instance, these local government offices, we have just finished or teaching the materials we have in these offices. These offices and the staff in these offices are in charge of the expansion of voter access to the polling units that we are carrying out. And they have just completed that particular process. We are about to restart the continuous voter registration exercise and they are the managing directors of this particular exercise. So when you bond these offices and change the staff away, the implication is that you want electoral activities to come to a halt. And that is very dangerous for democracy because some of the elections we conduct are time bound that are circumscribed by timelines. And when you don't conform to those timelines and time frames, you create a constitutional crisis. And that is why we are starting early and we are preparing early. And these attacks are who set back on our preparations for the 2023 general election. It makes me want to push you a bit more on this because I remember the drama that happened before INEC was able to get the finances for preparations for the last elections that we had. And 2023 is just around the corner. You just have one year in between and a couple of months before the end of 2021. And you're talking about procurement and the timeline. So obviously we have a setback right now.  You're still going to have to come up with an invoice or an inventory, another inventory for the ones that you have lost to the National Assembly asking for funding. And of course, if that stretches, it also affects the time that you need to get these things back into the country for us to have an election. So where does that leave us in 2023, knowing how things happen in Nigeria and the length of time that it takes? Well, this commission is determined not to allow some of these things to set us back in relation to our plans and preparations for the 2023 general election. But the implication is that some of these local governments, we are not going to have the services of our main office for the running of this election. Because if you want to reconstruct these offices, you have to award contracts, conform to a procurement act, conform to some other things, and then get these offices ready. So the implication is that we may have to conduct these elections and some of the electoral activities from a rented office. And secondly, we have to also approve the National Assembly to appropriate funds for the reconstruction of these offices whenever they need to reconstruct them. And then for some of the materials that have been damaged, we have to also approve the National Assembly for purposes of procuring them. And so that is not a very comfortable position to be in. But we are determined not to allow these setbacks to roll back some of the gains we have made. We are going to recover quickly and we are going to make sure that some of these setbacks do not affect our preparations for the 2023 elections. So we are determined to put through with the 2023 elections despite all these challenges and despite all these setbacks. I'm going to ask you a question that you may choose to answer or you may choose not to answer. Many have called this a sabotage of sorts and many have said that people are angry with INEC as to the fact that they've considered some of the results and the electioneering process skewed, they're not free, not necessarily credible. Do you think that this is why INEC has been targeted? I really believe that the confidence of the Nigerian people in relation to the activities of the Commission has increased in the last few years. I just came back from verification exercise in all the states in the Northwest and the people are very happy with some of the policies and programs that we have put in place. And Nigerians are looking forward to the resumption of the continuous registration of voters. So I believe that Nigerians are happy with the Commission. Nigerians believe that this Commission is on the right trajectory and that this Commission has the capacity and the courage to deliver on credible elections. If you recall, during the ensign's protest in those states, some of the protesters went to our office and only took away the flag and also commended the Commission for organizing credible elections in those states. So I believe that Nigerians are happy with the activities of the Commission. They are happy with what we did in those states. They are happy with our conduct of elections in all those states and they are happy with all the bi-elections that we have conducted. So I think that there's a new vigor and a regeneration in relation to the activities of the Commission. So I do not see this as people being angry with the Commission. I think that they see the Commission as one of the symbols of our democracy and some of the symbols of federal presence in some of these local governments. But I don't want to speculate until we have reports of investigation by the security agencies in relation to some of these attacks. Well, you have cited the fact that you've done bi-elections and bi-elections and you think that that has restored confidence. But if we were to put statistics, that's what we're statistics, the number of people that came out to vote in the 2019 elections, the 2015 elections and the elections before that, the numbers keep diminishing, they keep dropping. Is that not a pointer to the fact that people have lost hope in the votes, in the voting system because they begin to feel that or they've had the feeling over time that their votes do not necessarily count? So my question is, what is INEC going to do other than voter education to restore that confidence to the average Nigerian voter that their votes does really count and magic doesn't happen between the polling unit and of course where the results are finally being read? Well, there are so many things that account for voter party and low voter turnout during the elections and I really don't want to go into all of them. But the truth of the matter is that this expansion of access to the polling unit is that the commission is embarking on and also relocating some of the voting points and voting point settlements to either or under-served areas. We definitely increase people's access to the polling units. It will also make it impossible for some level of inclusion for persons living with disability to approach the polling units without so much hazard. It will make it possible for pregnant women to leave their houses in the morning to vote and go home. It will also make it possible for women who have children at home to spend less time at the polling units and then go home and attend to some other challenges. It will make it possible for the elderly to vote. So I believe that with all the things we are doing with this expansion of access to the polling units with the continuous voter registration exercise with the online portal that we are going to roll out there will definitely be increased activity in our polling units and we are hopeful that voter turnout will increase and then that the other stakeholders will also do their own piece to make sure that we have a very good voter turnout during subsequent elections. Well, first, as Okoye is the chairman of Information and Voter Education with the Independent National Electoral Commission. Thank you very much for speaking with us. We appreciate it. Thank you very much and I wish you the world. All right. Well, thank you all for staying with us. We'll take a short break now and when we come back, I will give you my take. Here's my take. The only thing that the average Nigerian has in as a voice at the end of the day to hold every politician accountable is their vote. Now, for every Nigerian who's lost hope out there saying, my vote doesn't count anymore, what's the essence of going up? Well, you still have that vote because whether you vote or not, you have made the choice. But wouldn't you rather make that choice consciously, making sure that you are there, you've casted your vote so that you have a right to demand for the dividends of democracy when the need arises, so that you have a voice to say, well, I came out, I voted, and you're now in office. Your responsibility is to me. Other than just staying back or saying, well, I don't care who wins or whoever gives me money, I will take. Let's stop that attitude. We need to be very, very conscious. We need to be very deliberate about our actions. I said, now, look around you. Is this the Nigeria that you're bargaining for? Is this what you were promised by the politicians when they came to your doorsteps four years ago, eight years ago, 15 years ago, or 16 years ago? Is this what you were bargaining for? Is this what you asked the politicians to do for you? Is this the life that you asked them for? Has it been better or has it been worse? This is the time for you to make that choice by making sure if you don't all have a voter's card, go get one, go get registered and get a voter's card because your vote is your power. I am Mary Annacle. Thank you for watching.


Hey guys, I want to do a quick one about speed deadlifts today, and you know, if you've watched some of my other 100 plus videos in the last hundred plus days You you may have seen that I talked about speed squats and now we're gonna talk about speed deadlifts So these two movements are totally different and I you know, I'm gonna default for for power work I'm gonna default to the squatting variations of these types of quick movements way before that I do the deadlift and that's only because The deadlift is just more difficult It's more difficult to find the tension Before you're going and then set into it as you pull up Most of the time when you encourage someone to lift really really quickly with their deadlift They're just gonna lean back. Okay, they're just gonna initiate with their lower back They're gonna arch themselves are gonna lose their positions and they're going to drive with incorrect motions They're not gonna drive with their hips They're gonna drive with their back right and that puts them at this disadvantage If you have someone who's demonstrated that they can deadlift slowly with competency then you can start to add Speed onto these lifts velocity onto these lifts and it does prove useful. I have programmed this for people who generally deadlift very well Big things are first not only do you need to be able to demonstrate that you can deadlift? Well, but you need to be able to do it just automatically. Okay, you can't be Requeuing yourself every single rep.    You're just mashing this bar Okay, so make sure that you can mash Slowly before you start to mash quickly and I'm gonna encourage you to do that pretty quickly because I think you can do it Now I know I say the deadlift is difficult, but that's only relative to other lifts You can learn it pretty quickly now when I'm setting up for speed deadlift I need to first make sure even though the weight is gonna be a little bit lighter I need to make sure I had this tension like I'm going to deadlift really heavy And so, you know force is dependent upon the acceleration that I go through So I could take 135 and lift it slow and then I could take 315 and lift it slow And I need you know, maybe 135 pounds of force to pick the first one up And then 315 pounds of force to pick the next one up now. Let's say my deadlift is 405 maybe my max output is 405 hypothetically or something like that so If I take 315 and I lift it moderately slowly, but still you know with a maximal intent I might be able to push 405 pounds worth of force into the bar, but I could do Similar to that maybe not quite that much, but maybe closer to 300 or 330 With 135 and that's what causes me to increase this acceleration, but the force is still higher So I still need to be set. I still need stiffness in my body with which to you know Pick this bar up because if I don't have this stiffness as soon as I push I'm just gonna lose my back position or I'm gonna shoot my hips up like this or I'm gonna just Arch my back right. I lose the automaticity of this movement. And so first you need to be able to demonstrate stiffness Generate this stiffness at the bar this stiffness within your body I want you to imagine if you're picking up 135 I want you to imagine you're pushing into the ground with 134 pounds of force and then you're picking everything up Okay, so get everything as tight as possible make that bar almost float on the ground and then go okay other things that You know, I like Lee Taft He talks a lot about speed and agility and he talks a lot about developing stiffness for these faster motions He might not be a heavy lifting guy But he understands force and acceleration and how that plays into mechanics and Stiffness and what he's done is he said let's take a pretty light medicine ball I'm gonna throw it around but I don't want you to lose your position So you could do a you know like a medicine ball slam But don't let go of the ball and that's like coming down into a squat like this So I take maybe a 10-pound ball and I try to bring it down as quickly as I can While squatting and then stop as quickly as I can so he He and you might need to push some air out or something like that But that'll help you kind of get prepared get stiff get ready for these speed deadlifts And maybe that's part of your warm-up part of your preparatory Exercises before you actually get into these speed deadlifts, but remember so just quick recap Make sure you're really good at doing it automatically. Make sure you can mash and make sure you get tight before you go and Pick it up as fast as you can


We have a larger role to provide an education that fosters them being sort of good people, good human beings, equity-minded people that sort of are not built on maintaining a kind of domination based on race, based on gender expression, based on class, you know, based on being able-bodied. I feel like that's the role of schools too. Like that that's the role of us as educators. That's what we're striving to do.


Hello everybody. Welcome back to SOTRIC Atlanta and our look at the emerald tablets. Today we're looking at the fifth tablet which is called the Dweller of Unal. Now if this is your first time with us or your first time going through the emerald tablets with us, I will place all of the other emerald tablets parts down in the description box below. We've been going in consecutive order. Also we will continually be going through this on Aquarius Rising Africa on Mondays at 10 a.m. Eastern time so you're welcome to join us there as well and again it's a live show so you can join in and make live comments while we're going through this. Now the interesting thing about the fifth tablet is that it is considered to be one of the most mysterious tablets and I've actually got, so I have Doreal's commentary which I'm going through and I've got another person's commentary up on my computer screen right now because I wanted to see what other people had to say as well. I have my own ideas and theories around some of the topics that Thoth is going to be speaking about in this fifth tablet but of course as always opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they're always subject to change and ebb and flow as we learn more information as more truths come out so be here someone beside me that is my dog so anyway let's go ahead and get started. So again the emerald tablet five is called the Dweller of Unaul and it is one of the most mysterious of all the emerald tablets. So Thoth says oft dream I have buried Atlantis lost in the ages that have passed into night eon on eon thou existed in beauty a light shining through the darkness of night mighty in power ruling the earth born lord of the earth in Atlantis's day king of the nations master of wisdom light through suntel keeper of the way dwelt in the temple the master of Unaul light of the earth in Atlantis's day master he from the cycle beyond us living in bodies as one among men not his earth born he from beyond us son of the cycle advanced beyond men no ye o man that harlott the master was never one with children of men far in the past time when Atlantis first grew as power appeared there one with the key of wisdom showing the light to all showed he to all man the path of attainment way of the light that flows among men mastering darkness leading the man soul upward to heights that were one with the light divided the kingdom he into sections 10 they were ruled by the children of men upon another built he a temple built but not by the children of men out of the ether called he and substance molded informed by the power of yotolin into the forms he built with his mind which it kind of brings back to the fourth tablet where we spoke a lot about how our thought talked a lot about how our consciousness creates our reality mile upon mile it covered the island space upon space it grew and its might black yet not black but dark like the spacetime deep in its heart the essence of light swiftly the temple grew into being molded and shaped by the word of the dweller called from the formless into the form so let's stop there and let's kind of go through Doriel's commentary and then talk about some other people's hypothesis on who some of these people are that are mentioned like Hortel and some of these places that are mentioned so forth so Doriel says perhaps this perhaps is the most mystical of the tablets contains containing also information hitherto withheld for man thought is musing on the glories of atlantis as its zenith as compared to the world around him at that time dweller on unal the master horlet was ruler of all earth through the cosmic power he wielded though he did not intervene in the government of nations unless it was absolutely necessary harlot was not entirely of the cycle but was one of the extensions of one of the lords of the cycles manifesting on earth's surface to fulfill certain necessary functions helping to establish knowledge and harmony among men he established the kingdoms of atlantis dividing them among the races and placing the highest developed ones as kings over the rest of the men he then built the temple on unal from the aether or primal substance molding it to the form by his will using the power of utolan which doriel says is not translatable to hold in its form the temple was square and had three miles to a side and was a mile high it did not truly rest in the third dimensional space but in the ninth dimensional before the blackness no weapon from the third dimension could harm or even touch it for anything cast against it will be lost in the curves of the ninth dimension it had within its heart the essence of light and from there was the gateway to a mentee where the flower of life burns eternally which a lot of this is referencing back to our previous tablet so again if you have not read the previous tablets especially the first and the second tablet the first the second tablet are kind of what the who what where when why how of the emerald tablets like who thought this what what had happened when atlantis fell all that kind of stuff so if you have if you missed that i would suggest going back and either reading the first and second tablet for yourself or watching the video my video where we go through the first and second tablet um unal was like a town in atlantis um again first tablet goes into that all that kind of stuff now it's interesting because we know that hartel the person known as hartel or the being known as hartel is is kind of like i don't want to say that god of this this earth but kind of like the the manager if you will like he's the manager of the earth or something like that now another commentary i was looking at and i will put this link in the description box was saying that they believe that the heart that hartel is actually the angel gabriel um i may be because we know that hortel is trying to help man as man ascends higher into enlightenment um here this person says hortel is the inter multi-dimensional being in charge of earth and the enlightenment of man definitely not definitely an arch angel most probably gabriel let me go ahead and share this with you guys up on the screens you you too can see now i have a question mark over this because we know that lucifer is actually the god of of our planet right now however this could be in reference to strictly when atlantis was around um lucifer has not always been the god of this planet um we know that atlantis especially if you again watch the first and second uh discussion over that these tablets atlantis was the time of of the anunnaki um and if you if you've watched our organic portal episodes which i will place those in this description box as well if you have not the organic portal episode with a pre-edomic so the organic portals or the bad humans of the earth the humans that have no upper chakras 50 of the population was here before the anunnaki came to our planet those of us who are sold being s o u l e d sold beings are the descendants of atlantis meaning that we have uh all these different cosmic a hodgepodge of different galactic dna and so it could have been during this time of atlantis because atlantis was structured to bring enlightenment to man so it could be that an archangel like gabriel or you know any good being was the manager of atlantis before the fall of atlantis um we know that deer and tartaria lucifer was not in charge uh we know that during the mud floods that's the start of gog and may gog where we are right now in the timeline gog and may gog that lucifer was released and was put back in charge of the earth so it could just be that hartel if hartel was one of the archangels was the manager of a certain time period of earth's history but we do know that hartel was a multi-dimensional being so he would have had to been like an angel like a fourth density positive being like lucifer is a multi-dimensional being like the angel the demons and angels are all multi-dimensional beings we are as well we are just not aware of it like they are so just thought that was interesting now this person on this one goes into the divided kingdoms he the sections tend where they rolled by the children of men which we spoke about now i am not i don't buy this i don't buy this geography that this person has put up on their commentary again i'll leave the link down in the description box below for you to look at it as well um i just don't think we just don't know we have no fucking clue what our real geography is i absolutely at this point from what i've researched and looked looked at into tartaria do believe that egypt is not in africa again there's this great youtube channel here that is totally dedicated to to disproving the myth that egypt is in africa and he calls the egypt in africa the amusement park um egypt is here in the united states as israel the real israel is here in the united states according to the history of tartaria so i think this is all bunk right here this is this is a geography based off of what we've been taught by the controllers and this so this no fault to the person who wrote this you know 10 years ago i would have believed this myself so no fault to them but i just wanted to point that out all right the dweller used the word in molding the form of the temple the word being then expressed as yotal within the temple the dweller erected mighty machines of many kinds forming then out of primeval matter and started them into the motion by his will thus accutated they would run forever for the will which supplied their motive power is an external thing so yes again this goes back to the fourth tablet that we spoke about last time everything is is generated by thought thought is vibration the word is also so the again the three elements of our uveta our breath food in vibration which is words are thought they're both both vibration and back in the fourth tablet thought was telling us that we are the creators of this chaos you know and that that we know that like we know that as spiritual beings that everything in the nature that we see is something that is the shakti it's the creation of the soul and so that's what he's saying is that again he's reiterating this idea that all of the matter the nature our bodies our earth our our lives was a shakti was a creation of the shiva which is the soul is there a Sanskrit words I'm using the prakriti and parusha right and it's it's the whole purpose the whole purpose of this is for the soul to know itself and as we've talked about with the organic beings or the pre-atomic beings that don't have really have so they have like micro souls they don't have their upper chakras it stops at money poor the third chakra they have a really those are people have a really hard time differentiating between their identity as a person in their soul right the soul is the silence within you the soul is not your identity this that you're like for me as brice I am my my existence is brice in this life is the shakti is the expression of my soul for this time right so when my soul was coming to earth again I sat down with my guides with my managers or if you will um assistant managers and I created almost like a lesson plan a college lesson plan for what I needed to refine and so where my soul needed to be refined and so I created an existence with this identity to experience what I needed to experience so my soul can be refined not so brice could be refined brice is just you know our lives are so short here it's just a flash of a you know very very quick right so it's just something from my soul to understand through this avatar of brice but brice myself isn't real like none of us are real it's all a hologram right what's real is the soul right and so and I find people who are organic portals have a real hard time like the the identity of brice when we was talking about things like the ego which is the false sense of self the ego is the identity of brice and that's the that's the story that's not the soul so with that being said when you understand the two and you can understand the difference between the two you the ego is still there for the time period while you're in your body but it can be put in its place if that makes sense um I also want to reiterate too I had somebody leave a comment that they were told all of their chakras were balanced honey if someone told you all your chakras were balanced all your chakras were balanced you just got scammed right so our chakra system even though we've all got for sold beings s u l e d sold beings we have all seven chakras organic portals only have the first three while we are alive our our chakras are going to come in and out of balance they're going to ebb and flow in and out of balance because that's how we learn that's how we grow that's how we create friction and that friction from those opposing forces of our own thoughts our own fault sense of self competing with the true sense of self are going to cause those those chakras to constantly weave in and out but that friction is necessary for your soul to refine itself so if you think your chakras are just balanced and are going to stay balanced and that's just that you've been either you've been scanned or you're dead and you don't know it because if you're still alive they're constantly going to be needing work and attunements so be very careful be very careful with who you give your money to when it comes to spirituality be very aware of who these people are that you're giving your money to like look at their resume if they've only ever just done training courses i would not personally i would not go to them ask them who they've apprenticed with ask them who their teachers are i'm not i don't if they've just done training courses then you don't need to be given the money they need to be apprenticing they need to even rakey masters have to have teachers too right don't be don't be because listen psychopaths narcissists organic portals they're in all careers and they thrive in the spiritual world in fact that's where they're sent mostly to is the spiritual world to derail you so that's a huge red flag huge red flag if somebody's telling you your chakras are balanced huge red flag okay just wanted to put that out there but i hope that makes sense with the whole idea of matter and soul soul of matter because that is that's basically what a lot of the yoga sutras talk about again with prakriti parusha shiva shakti and that's what we're seeing a lot in the emerald tablets as well this idea that this the vibration of thought of consciousness the spoken word which is the same thing is creating a shakti of the soul and experience of the soul all right let's go back to what thought is saying built he then within it great chambers filled them with forms called from the earth called from the ether filled with the wisdom called forth by his mind formless was he within his temple yet he but was he formed in the image of men dwelling among them yet not of them strange and far different was he chosen he then from among the people three who became his gateway choose he the three from the highest to become his links with atlantis messengers they who carried his council to the kings of the children of men brought he forth others and taught them wisdom teachers they to the children of men placed he them on the island of undal to stand as teacher of the light to men each of those who were thus chosen taught must be he before five and ten only thus could he have the understanding to bring light to the children of men thus there came into into being the temple a dwelling place for the master of men i thought have ever sought wisdom searching in darkness and searching in light long in my youth i travel the pathway seeking ever new knowledge to gain until after much striving one of the three to me brought the light brought he to me the commands of the dweller called me from the darkness into the light brought he to me before the dweller deep in the temple before the great fire there on the great throne beheld i the dweller the dweller has been spoken about many times in these temples clothed with the light and flashed with fire down i knelt before the great wisdom feeling the light flowing through me in waves heard i then the voice of the dweller oh darkness come into the light long have you sought the pathway to light each soul on earth that loses its feathers so shall soon be made free from the bondage of night fourth from the darkness have the arisen closer approach the light of your goal here ye shall dwell as one of my children keeper of records gathered by wisdom instructed thou of the light from beyond ready be thou made to do what is needed preserver of wisdom through the ages of darkness that shall come fast on the children of men live the here and drink of all wisdom secrets and mysteries unto thee shall be unveiled all right again we're seeing that over and over and over again in these emerald tablets we've also see this in the yoga sutras in the Vedic texts the same thing your job your job on this earth is to undo your bondage you only you could do that nobody else could do it for you you and this is what makes me really mad when people are really new to spirituality because they think it's just rainbows and butterflies no spirituality gets dark you need the friction you have to have friction you have to have opposing forces you have to have polarity in order to understand and find wisdom in the Hathor material coming up this week tomorrow actually they say the Hathor say do not take away somebody's right to suffer right we have to in yoga we say don't interrupt somebody's karma I understand that if you have a love to want a child a parent a partner and you see that they're suffering that you want to do everything you can to alleviate that suffering and if they ask you for help you most certainly should help them however you cannot alleviate the suffering you can help them work through it you can be a support system for them but if you try to stop or block someone's karma someone's suffering then you are taking away their ability to ascend you have to experience the descent into hell before you can ascend into heaven so we have the emerald tablets saying this we have the yoga sutras saying this we have Hathors from the egyptian Hathor mystery school saying this as well we have all these stories of these deities that descended into hell and rose again is all metaphor it is a metaphor of what you have to go through in order to understand your own soul you cannot understand something you cannot gain wisdom from something unless you have been in it that is why the symbol for yoga is the lotus flower the lotus flower has to come up through the mud in the muck in order for the petals to open and bloom do not interrupt somebody else's suffering don't do it I know you think you're helping but by trying to do that you are acting in service to selfishly for you instead of service to others be a support system for someone when they're going through something teach them what you know get them a good yoga teacher or therapist but you have to allow them to go through it you have to you have to I have to do it listen there's someone I know that is in total hell right now and I've tried to reach out and help but instead I've been abused and returned so I have backed away they're going to have to go through it themselves and that's fine all right so let's go back and look at what Dorielle has to say in the temple the dweller was at most times unmanifested that is the physical body which he occupied from time to time remained in the temple while consciousness which he was manifested elsewhere three from among the highest developed of men were chosen to be messengers of the dweller they were carefully trained in the work by the dweller while through them he chose others and had them placed on unals opposite on un dolls opposite unal to be teachers and priests of two atlantis these later were the pre-scientists and philosophers each of them was taught for 15 years by the three before they were allowed to teach others yep you and a yoga traditional yoga like real yoga not the shitty yoga teacher trainings that are fake that that fake-ass company the yoga alliance runs and India it's you're like talking 15 20 years before you're allowed to teach you can't microwave yourself to enlightenment you can't leapfrog over certain lessons you have to go through time with master teachers time yourself to experience the ups and the downs the ebbs and the flow with your own guide before you can start guiding others that's why I say when you look at resumes of healers or teachers who did they apprentice with not where did they train who did they apprentice with who are their teachers who's their current teacher I have a current teacher I've apprenticed and I'm authorized be very careful about who you are having heal you and I like the base for 15 years no exceptions this was an atlantis when people were way more consciously aware that we are now and they were still doing 15 years time with teachers there's no exception to this rule none Thoth made his first contact with the dweller through one of the three messengers he was led before the dweller and the temple and the place of the great fire this fire was not the fire of light but the radiation caused by the junction of the space to the temple and the space with a mentee which again if you want more information on a mentee go back and review the first and second tablet thoth was led before the dweller who seated on the throne reflected the light from the gateway to thoth he appeared to be literally clothed with fire he was informed by the dweller that he was chosen to be the keeper of records for the dweller could look into man's future knowing the changes in consciousness would eventually bring a wave of units of consciousness of lower development to earth where we are he also knew the destruction of parts of earth's surface must come so steps must be taken so that nothing would be lost thoth had earned his great privilege by his own effort yeah people aren't born special I mean we're all born special we're all special but you're not born and just because you were born you're given a job to be this or that no there has to be effort on your part right and I think the church uh in part is guilty of making us feel like certain people are special and certain people aren't because of the lies they tell us about yashua yashua went through many years of training too there's effort you have to earn your place right you're not just born and there you are you got a crown in your head no no you're not just born a channeler and a messenger of god no you have to go through your own shit you have to break some of your own bondages all right so even thoth went through a week we've seen that in these first few tablets thoth went through hell and back to start to understand to become enlightened and thoth is not a god he's said that many times in the first a second tablet he's a teacher that's it he's a teacher all right the reference to the dweller as the master of cycles is a reference to earth cycles not cosmic cycles he was the guardian man's progress from one earth cycle to another thoth asked for wisdom to be given to him so they can pass the knowledge he has given to man thoth is promised eternal life so that he may fulfill his purpose he remained in the temple until he received his full illumination thoth used the knowledge given to him to penetrate the secrets of spacetime and matter in these discoveries even more greater secrets in the latter days of atlantis the grave weight of consciousness which had once occupied the bodies of earth men had passed to venus and consciousness which occupied the bodies of the masses were from mars there were more naturalistic than the proceeding consciousness and looking to the darkness instead of the light opened yang song thoth the gateway to the cycle below some of the consciousness of the proceeding waves were attracted by material power and entered into this plane it was perhaps this part of their nature which had kept them from going on with their fellows the one who opened the door to the cycle below must be the master else he will not be so balanced in power that he can keep those those from below coming up while men were doing this the dweller was detached from his body and projected to where it was taking place so that rings very true with what we read of the law one the different dimensions when the planet starts to move and shift that's what we know about the fall of atlantis at first it was lumaria then it was atlantis then atlantis fell which is the apocalypse then there was the tribulation and there was tartaria the a thousand years apiece and then from tartaria came the mud floods which put us in gog and may gog where we are now we're at the end of the story now which means now the earth ascends into a new density which brings about even more cycles and so that is exactly what they're saying there's this ebb and flow of cycles happening among this planet okay so let's go back to thought then answered i the masters of cycles saying oh like that descends to men give thou to be thy wisdom that i might be a teacher of men give thou of thy light that i may be free spoke to then to be again the master age after age shall you live through your wisdom i when or atlantis the ocean waves shall roll holding that light though hidden in darkness ready to come whatever their shout be called called go be now and learn greater wisdom grow thou through light to infinities all long that i dwelt in the temple of the dweller until at last i was one with the light followed i then the path to the star planes followed i then the pathway to light deep into earth's heart i followed the pathway learning the secrets below as above learning the pathway to the halls of a mentee learning the law that balances the world to earth's hidden chambers pierced i by my wisdom d through the earth's crust into the pathway hidden for ages from the children of men unveiled before me ever more wisdom until i reached a new knowledge found that all is part of an all great and yet greater than all that we know searched i infinities heart through the ages deep yet deeper more mysteries i found the more i learn the less i know right now as i look back through the ages now that i wisdom is boundless ever grown great through the ages one with infinities greater than all light there was an ancient atlantis yet darkness too was hidden in all fell from the light into the darkness some who had risen to the heights among men proud they became because of their knowledge proud were they of their place among men deep delved into them the forbidden open the gateway that led to below saw they to ever gain more knowledge but seeking to bring it up from below and i'm going to go ahead and finish off off three reading here then we're going to go back and look at doriel's commentary he who descends be below must have balance else he is bound by lack of our light open they then by their knowledge pathways forbidden to men that's powerful right that's why you have to descend before you can ascend right you got to go down and have balance in the lower parts of yourself your lower hell placed parts got to find balance there before you could even touch the light but in his temple all seeing the dweller lay in his aguante while through atlantis his soul roamed free saw he the atlantis by their magic opening the gateway that would bring to earth a great woe fast fled his soul then back to his body up he rose from his aguante called he the three mighty messengers gave the commands that shattered the world deep near earth's crust to the halls of aminte swiftly descended the dweller called he then on the powers the seven lords wielded changed the earth's balance down down sank atlantis beneath the dark waves we've talked about the seven lords and previous tablets those are the seven chakras which i know i've looked for they're going to be talked about again in continuing template tablets all right that's a chakras shattered the gateway that had been opened shattered the doorway that led down below all of the islands were shattered except unal in part of the island of the sons of the dweller preserved he them to be teachers lights on the path for those to come after lights for the lesser children of men it's the second time he's referenced and in the very first verse of the very first tablet he says i'm thought i'm an atlantean teacher and i'm writing these tablets for you as in us of gog and may gog as in myself and you watching right now so saying this that preserving them to be teachers lights on the path for those to come after so when we have mr fox back on we are going to be talking about the law of one he's speaking about the wanderers i've been told that i'm a wanderer which makes sense because all of my life every description of a wanderer fits what's happened to me in my life a lot of you are probably wonderers too we were chosen to come back because we are so even though we went through the same amnesia that everybody else went through our soul had reached a certain level of understanding within our consciousness to come back and help man push forward in this timeline right all right call to even i thought before him gave me commands for all i should do saying take thou othoth all of your wisdom take all of your records take all of your magic go forth as a teacher of men go forth preserving the records until in time light grows among men light shouts thou be all through the ages hidden yet found by enlightened men over all earth give we power free though to give it or take it away gather thou now the sons of atlantis take them and flee them to the people of the rock caves fly to the land of the children of kam and the children of kam are egypt which are the atlanteans which is here in the southeast of the united states not in africa then gather i the sons of atlantis into the spaceship i brought all my records brought the records of the sunken atlantis gathered i all my powers instruments many of mighty magic up then we rose on the wings of the morning high we rose above the temple leaving behind the tree and the dweller deep in the halls beneath the temple down near the waves sank the great temple closing the pathways to the lords of the cycle cycles yet ever to him who was knowing open shall be the path to a mint day fast fled we then on the wings of the morning fled to the land of the children of kam egypt thereby my power i conquered and ruled them raised i to light the children of kam and we already saw that like this first or second tablet where after the fall of atlantis thoth and his posse come back to try to help the people because the people from atlantis that remained after the great flood after the great fall of atlantis were struck with so much and they went from living these really high in tech high technology in like lives to being barbaric for being caveman and we saw that in the first second tablet where thought comes back they actually try to kill them because they're so scared by what they're seeing with thought that he has to calm them down and say no no it's okay now we have to rebuild now you got to go through these cycles of darkness in order to find the light again to remember who you are and by remembering who you are i mean that you're a soul period of story that you're just a soul that's all you are deep deep the rock i buried my spaceship waiting the time when the man might be free over the spaceship erect a marker in the form of a lion that like unto man i think i know what they're talking about the sphinx we'll see with doriel's commentary to manage there underneath the the images rest yet my spaceship for us to be brought which shall arise no ye o man that far in the future invader shall come from out of the deep then awaken ye who have wisdom bring forth my ship and conquer with ease that is wild so no ye o man that far in the future invader shall come from out of the deep then awaken ye o to have wisdom what the controllers have done very awful terrible things but what's one thing they have done they've awoken us they poked the bear deep near the image lies my secret search and find the pyramid i built each to the other is the keystone each the gateway that leads into life follow the key i leave behind me seek in the doorway to life shall be thine seek thou in my period pyramid deep in the passage that ends in the wall use the thou seven key of the seven and open the pathway will fall now unto thee i give my wisdom now unto thee i give my way follow the pathway solve all my secrets until thee i have shown the way so let's go back and look at doriel's commentary over this last part he says when the dweller saw what was taking place he returned his body and called the messengers and sent them through atlantis bringing certain ones to undal the dweller then descended to amente and passed there a force chambers opening to the channel through which the earth balances passes the inner earth with a pyramid of the forces passes he drew up the power of the seven and changed the balance of earth from one channel to another and closed the old channel the resulting seeking of atlantis shattered the opening by destroying the space working machine set up by the atlantians thoth is called before the dweller and commanded to go forth to the land still above water taking those from undal and removing the records of the ancient wisdom which again reflects back to the first second tablet where he talks about hiding the wisdom underneath the earth and having certain priests guide it until a time as this until we got here in god and may god thoth is called before the dweller and commanded to go forth from the land still above the water taking those from indol and removing the records from the ancient wisdom he is commit commissioned as a teacher or conveyor of the light thought gather together the records scientific instruments and machines and with the wise men of atlantis entered a spaceship and flew to chem the motive power of the spaceship was energy extracted from the sun and stored electricity is one form of this force but qualified by the emanations from the pyramid of force when the spaceship had left the dweller sealed the temple and sank it and end all beneath the waters he and three then went elsewhere thought derived in Egypt and conquered the barbarians which again goes back to the first and second tablet he then buried the spaceship and certain implements of warfare beneath the great rock was which was then carved as the speaks a lion when the time arrives that invaders from the space attack earth it will be brought forth to repel them thought gives a key for opening the head passages from the pyramids to the speaks the key the key will open the doorway to the room which opens the path to mentee and that spaceship in my opinion is underneath Tennessee because um Memphis Tennessee which is on the Mississippi River which is actually the Nile you look at some of the tartarian stuff there was a huge sphinx that used to be in Memphis there's pictures of people at the turn of the century early 1900s sitting on the sphinx in Memphis the controllers got rid of it so in my opinion the spaceship thought spaceship is under Tennessee all right you guys i'm gonna in in this episode out with the reading of the emerald tablets straight through tablet five off stream i have buried atlantis lost in the ages that have passed and tonight eon on eon now existed in beauty a light shining through the darkness of night mighty in power ruling the earth born lord of the earth in atlantis's day king of the nation's master of wisdom light through some tall keeper of the way dwelt in his temple the master of unal light of the earth in atlantis's day master he from a cycle beyond us living in bodies as one among men not as the earth born he was from beyond us son of a cycle advanced beyond men know he o man that harlott the master was never one with the children of men far in the past time when atlantis grew as a power appeared there one with the key of wisdom showing the way of light to all showed he to all bend the path of attainment way of the light that flows among men mastering darkness leading the man's soul upward in heights that were one with the light divided the kingdom's he into sections tin were they ruled by the children of men upon another he built a temple built but not by the children of men out of the ether called he its substance molded and formed by the power of utolin into the forms he built with his mind mile upon mile it covered the island space upon space it grew in its might black yet not black but dark with the spacetime deep in its heart the essence of light swiftly the temple grew into being molded and shaped by the word of the dweller called from the formless into a form built he then within it the gray chambers filled them with forms called forth from ether filled them with the wisdom called forth by his mind formless was he within his temple yet was he formed in the image of men dwelling among them yet not of them strange and far different was he the children of men chose he then from among the people three who became his gateway chose he the three the highest have got his links with atlantis messengers they who carried his counsel to the kings of the children of men brought he forth others and taught them wisdom teachers they to the children of men placed he them on the island of udal to stand as teachers of light to men each of those who were thus chosen taught must be for year five and ten only thus could he have the understanding to bring light to the children of men thus there came into the temple a dwelling place for the master of men i thought have ever sought wisdom searching in darkness and searching in light looking in my youth i travel the pathway seeking ever new knowledge to gain until after much striving one of the three brought me to the light brought he to me the commands of the dweller called me from darkness into the light brought he me before the dweller deep in the temple before the great fire there on the great throne beheld i the dweller clothed with the light and flashed with fire down i knelt before the great wisdom feeling the light flowing through me and waves heard i then the voice of the dweller though darkness come into the light long heavy sought the pathway to light each soul on earth that loses its feathers shall soon be made free from the bondage of night forth from the darkness have the arisen closer approached the light of your goal here ye shall dwell as one of my children keeper of records gathered by wisdom instrument thou of light from beyond ready be thou made to what is needed preserver of wisdom through the ages of darkness that shall come fast on the children of men live be here and drink of all wisdom secrets and mysteries until thee shall unveil then answered i the master of cycle saying oh light that descended to men give thou to me of thy wisdom that i might be a teacher of men give thou of thy light that i may be free spoke then to me again the master age after age shall you live through your wisdom i when or lantis the ocean waves roll holding the light though hidden in darkness ready to come when air thou shalt call go thee now and learn great wisdom grow thou through light to infinities all long than i dwelt in the temple of the dweller until at last i was one with the light followed i did the path to the star planes followed i did the path to the light deep into earth's heart i followed the pathway learning the secrets below as above learning the pathway to the halls of a mentee learning the law that balances the world to earth's hidden chambers pierced i by my wisdom deep through the earth's crust into the pathway hidden for ages from children of men unveiled before me ever more wisdom until i reached a new knowledge found that all is a part of an all great and yet greater than all that we know searched i infinities heart through the ages deep and yet deeper more mysteries i found now as i look back through the ages now i that wisdom is boundless ever grown greater throughout the ages one with infinities greater than all light there was an ancient atlantis yet darkness too was hidden in all fell from the light into the darkness some who had risen to the heights among men proud they became because of their knowledge proud they were of their place among men deep dwelled they in the forbidden open that gateway that led to below saw they to gain ever more knowledge but seeking to bring it up from below he who descends below must have balance else he is bound by lack of our light opened by then by their knowledge pathways forbidden to men built in his temple all seeing the dweller lay in his aguante while through atlantis his soul roamed free saw he the atlantis by their magic opening the gateway that would bring to earth a great woe vast fled his soul then back to his body up he arose from his aguante called he the three mighty messengers gave the commands that shattered the world deep beneath earth's crust to the halls of amite swiftly descends the dweller called he then on powers the seven lords wielded changed the earth's balance down sank atlantis beneath the dark waves shattered the gateway that had been opened shattered the doorway that led down below all of the islands were shattered except unal and part of the island of the sons of the dweller preserved he them to be teachers lights on the path for those to come after lights for the lesser children of men called he that i thought before him i gave my commands for all i should do saying take thou oh thought all your wisdom take all your records take all your magic go forth as a teacher of men go thou forth preserving the records until in time light grows among men light shall thou be all through the ages hidden yet found by enlightened men over all earth give we ye power over all earth give we ye power free thou to give or take it away gather thou now the sons of atlantis take them and flee them to the people of the rock caves lie to the land of the children of ken and i gathered the sons of atlantis into the spaceship i brought all my records brought the records of sunken atlantis gathered i all of my powers instruments many of mighty magic up then we rose as wings of the morning high we rose above the temple leaving behind the three in the dweller deep in the halls meet the temple down meet the waves sank the great temple closing the pathway to the lords of the cycles yet

Okay. So let's try this one then. Calculate the osmotic pressure of 0.50 molar NACL at a 25 degree Celsius. So the first thing we have to do is figure out the osmolarity of this solution. So we've got to remember the chemical equation NACL we're assuming that the solvent is water in this problem. So from this equation we can calculate the molarity or the osmolarity of the solution. So we have a 1 to 1 to 1 ratio. So the ions dissolved relative to the reactants are 2 to 1 because 1 plus 1 equals 2. So we have a 2 to 1 ratio of the osmolarity to the molarity. So the osmolarity of the solution is going to equal 2 particles we could say to 1. So when we multiply this out we see that NACL cancels out there and we get 2 times 0.5 moles of ions. So that's going to be the osmolarity of the solution. So you could write it 1.00 molar or osmolar every one. 1.0. Huh? Only 1.0. Oh 1.0. Okay and now we'll use the equation for osmotic pressure which is this is the osmolarity and R. If you can write it osmotic. You think so? Yeah so you bet. So we'll do this. Let's plug in numbers. So that's the osmolarity. The temperature here is 25 degrees Celsius so we're going to have to convert that to Kelvin. So temperature equals 25 plus 273. And now we're going to erase this top part here. So if we just plug these values in. So osmotic pressure you want to get pressure units for that. So it's going to be an ATM actually. R is going to be the gas constant. That'll be given to you. 0.08 molarity. 1.0 ATM. So and the final answer for this is 2 sick figs. It's going to be 24 ATM. Osmotic pressure.


Hello, in this discussion we will discuss the discussion question of, discuss how accrual accounting enhances the usefulness of financial statements. When considering accrual accounting and whether or not it increases, or in this case we're saying definitively in the question that it does increase the usefulness of financial statements, we are comparing it then to the cash basis. It doesn't say that explicitly, but if we're saying how does the accrual accounting enhance the usefulness of financial statements, we have to assume what are we comparing that to possibly just reporting things on a cash basis. So this is really another kind of way of saying what's the difference between a cash basis and an accrual basis and why is the accrual basis better. Now note that we are saying in the question here the discussion question or the essay question if you see this is assuming the accrual method is better. I've talked to a lot of people when we learn accounting that insists that a cash method is better and there are advantages and disadvantages to a cash basis method. The accrual method is typically thought to report things more accurately and we'll discuss that as we go. But just note that if you're recording a question for a test that is going to be some kind of formal test that the assumption will generally be that the accrual method is better for it. So even if you have a personal opinion about whether the two methods are better you really want to argue on the accrual method side if you're going to look to pick up the most points as we can see just in the wording of the question here. So the idea then on the accrual method is basically we have the revenue recognition principle and the matching principle being the driving accrual principles that are different than the cash method. And the point of those two principles is to record more accurately the revenue and expenses that have been incurred in a particular time period. So we probably want to focus more on the income statement the timing statements to recognize performance because performance is really what we're going to be try to measuring over time. When we when we compare one month to the next month we're typically looking at well how did we do how much revenue did we earn how much expenses did we incur in order to generate that revenue. And so that's going to be the income statement and the timing issues. And if we look at the accrual method we're going to record under the revenue recognition principle at the point in time that we earned the revenue. So when we earned it we're going to record it not when we receive the cash and on the expense side when we have incurred the expense in order to help generate revenue that's the matching principle we incurred it in order to achieve the business goal matching it to the business goal of generating revenue. At that point in time that's when we incur the expense. Now when comparing that to a cash basis you might think well it seems more fair to just say when the cash either goes into the company or out of the company because we're so dependent on cash flow but note that cash flow is going to be different than basically performance. We will measure cash flow in a cash flow statement but we also want to measure what we actually did because cash flow can actually very much very greatly distort our performance from month to month. We can greatly distort our performance as we report it from month to month if we were to be on a cash basis and we just wanted to manipulate the cash flow by saying things like why don't we have more revenue by asking our customers to pay us in advance possibly for a discount for services that will be done in the future that would probably increase the revenue on a cash basis but on a cruel basis it wouldn't increase the revenue because we wouldn't be able to recognize it until we actually did the work. On a cash basis we can manipulate net income on the expense side for example if we wanted to possibly lower our net income say for taxes or something like that we could try to prepay a lot more of our expenses and in so doing we could lower our net income because the cash was paid even though we haven't incurred the expense for example the insurance if we paid the insurance for like three years or if we prepaid our rent for a year in advance then we can record the expense today under a cash method and even though we're not going to pay it again for a year it's really the benefit is applying to a future future periods and it's really something that can be seen in something like purchasing a vehicle or equipment if we purchase a vehicle or equipment for cash and it costs us a good deal of money a hundred thousand dollars let's say we would get to deduct that or on or put it on as an expense lowering net income at the point of purchase under a cash method and under the cruel method we would have to put it on the books as an asset and then apply the expense out to the periods it was used in. Now even a cash basis method even if even people using a cash basis or even if we're on a cash basis for taxes typically we'll still put a large piece of machinery on the books as an asset and so that's even under a cash basis most people deviate on that particular area because it's so blatantly not not representative of of the matching principle but on a pure cash basis we should just expense it because we've paid the cash at the point of purchase even if it was a building that we purchased for like five hundred thousand if we paid cash for it we would under a cash basis technically expense it at that point in time which really would not look good if we tried to compare one month to the next month or one year to the next year because clearly that building is going to benefit the company for a long period in the future the purchase today is is a benefit for the future and therefore the matching principle would not be in accordance with that so that's going to be the major principle the accrual principle remember you're always going to want to argue for the accrual principle when picking up the most points as being the better principle because it it reports better in accordance with the matching and the revenue recognition principle and whenever you see something like this it's basically comparing it to a cash basis and note that the two things always aren't completely separate as well because a lot of types of transactions will be the same under an accrual basis under a cash basis and many companies that even if they're on a cash basis like on a tax code they might try to run on a cash basis even still they're still going to have elements of an accrual principle like the one we just talked about if we were to purchase a large piece of equipment so the two the two principles sometimes people are running more of a hybrid principle especially if they're on a cash basis and sometimes they're using some accrual and some not whether that be right or wrong and a lot of times the two bases he's will not differ in many types of transactions but where they will differ will be timing differences and the accrual principle is thought to be more accurate in being able to compare performance from period to period


As I've explored previously, drinking sugar water is bad for you. If you have people drink glass of water with 3 tablespoons of table sugar and it was like a can of soda, this is the spike in blood sugar you get within the first hour. Our body freaks out so much, releases so much insulin, we actually overshoot by the second hour, a relatively high bogal isemic, dropping our blood sugar below where it was when we started out fasting. In response, our body dumps fat into our bloodstream as if we're starving because our blood sugar just drops so low. And the same thing happens after drinking apple juice. Here's what happens to your blood sugar on the three hours after eating 4 and a half cups of apple slices. It goes up, it comes down. But if you eat the same amount of sugar in apple juice for about 2 cups, your body overreacts, releasing too much insulin, you end up dipping below where you started. The removal of fiber in the production of fruit juice can enhance the insulin response and result in this rebound hypoglycemia. What would happen though if you stuck those 4 and a half cups of sliced apples in a blender with some water and pureed them into an apple smoothie? It would still have all its fiber, yet it still caused that hypoglycemic dip. Three bound fallen blood sugars, which occurred during the second and third hours after juice and puree, was in striking contrast to the practically steady level after apples. This finding not only indicates how important the presence of fiber is, but also perhaps whether or not the fiber is physically disrupted like in the blender. Let's play devil's advocate though. Eating 4 and a half cups of apples took 17 minutes. But to drink 4 and a half cups of apples in smoothie form only took about 6 minutes, and you can down 2 cups of juice in like 90 seconds. So maybe these dramatic differences have more to do with how fast the fruit entered into our system rather than its physical form. If it's just the speed, we could instead sip a smoothie over 17 minutes would be the same, right? So they put it to the test. Fast juice was drinking in 90 seconds. But what if you instead sipped the juice over 17 minutes? Same problem. So it wasn't the speed, it was the lack of fiber. What if you disrupt that fiber with blending, but sip it as slowly as the whole apple eating? A little better, but not as good as just eating the apple. So eating apples is better than drinking apple smoothies. But who drinks apple smoothies? What about bananas, mangoes, berries? There was a study that compared whole bananas to blended bananas and didn't see any difference, but they only looked for an hour and it was while they were exercising. Bananas in general though may actually improve blood sugars over time. The same thing with mangoes, and this was with powdered mango. It can't get any more fiber disrupted than that. It may be due to a phytonutrient called mangivarin, which may slow sugar absorption through the intestinal wall. Berries help control blood sugar so well they can counter the effects of the sugar water even when they're pureed in a blender. Adding blended berries in addition to the sugar water and you don't get the hypoglycemic dip, you don't get that burst of fat in the blood. Drinking blended berries isn't just neutral, but improves blood sugar control. Again, thought to be due to special phytonutrient that can slow sugar uptake into the bloodstream. Indeed six weeks of blueberry smoothie consumption actually improve whole body insulin sensitivity. So while apple smoothies may be questionable, a recipe like Mayo's basic green smoothie recipe packed with berries and greens would be expected to deliver the best of both worlds, maximum nutrient absorption without risking overly rapid sugar absorption.
