Now, the Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California presents... Suspense!  By that high priestess of the art of suspense, marry Bella Clowns. And starring the young actress whose performance you admired in the picture, an American romance, Miss Anne Richards. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right, now a glass full would be very pleasant. As Roma Wines bring you a remarkable tale of suspense. And with the story of Ivy and with the performance of Anne Richards, as its extraordinary heroine, Roma Wines hope indeed to keep you in... suspense. The story of Ivy. Ivy Lexton's own story as told to Victoria Matthews, an exclusive feature of the Morning Herald. I wrote it in the first person, Mrs. Lexton. I hope you don't mind. Oh, it doesn't matter, so long as the story is accurate. You can understand my anxiety, Miss Matthews. After all, I owe it to my public. Yes, of course. Perhaps you'd like to read it through and make suggestions before signing the release? Oh, if it's not too much bother. It's a great country. Hearing it in your own words would be a decided help to me. Very well, Miss Matthews. I'll read it out then. Are you comfortable? Would you like anything? A cigarette perhaps? It's unfortunate that I have no maid here with me at present. Thank you. I'm quite comfortable. Please go ahead, Mrs. Lexton. Very well. Chapter one. I was born in Hobbs Court, Soho. And I was christened Ivy Gudge. I hated my name. And I hated the sordid surroundings into which I had been born. And while yet a child, I made up my mind that wealth and position should be mine at whatever cost. As a child, my favorite book was the story of Nell Gwynn, the commoner who became the favorite of a king. And one sentence of Nells in the face of all her success made an indelible impression on me. It was this. In life, I have never sought anything that did not seem to have been placed in my hands by Providence itself. At the close of my first season as an actress, our show was bankrupted by an embezzling manager. And I was left stranded in the provinces and stone broke. Many great gentlemen had shown me attentions and showered me with presents. But I sought assistance from none of them. And it was Jarvis Lexton, a young man who might scarcely noticed who came to me in my hour of need. Ivy, I know there are hundreds of men who adore you. Men with titles, wealth, social position, are much more than I can offer. But there's not one who loves you more than I do. Will you marry me, Ivy? And I said yes, because it was offered. We were frightfully happy that first year of our marriage, and Jarvis was so generous, humoring all my little whims, spending much more money on me than he could afford. It always gave him a thrill of boyish pleasure to see my portraits in the newspapers and magazines, with captions such as Mrs. Ivy Lexton wearing Vianette's latest creation or Mrs. Jarvis Lexton at Ascot with Lady Hampton and Lord Rushworth. He kept a scrapbook of them and really seemed quite pleased about everything until one day. I say, Ivy, don't you think you're being seen and photographed a bit too much with this fellow Rushworth? Oh, but darling, I thought you liked having me hobnob with the fears of the realm. What about this other chap, Roger Gresham? You know, it does seem a bit thick for me to work my head off twelve hours a day figuring out ways to finance your clothes and jewels so you can be photographed with other men. It's got to stop in any case, Ivy. We're broke. You mean how money is all spent up? Well, wiped out. The bailiffs attached my office furniture. I can't even pay the rental on this flat. What are we going to do, Jarvis? I'll let you figure that one out. You're so good at spending money, perhaps you can think of a way to make some. So, you see, Jarvis rarely made the suggestion to me himself. I don't know what we'd have done during the next few months if it hadn't been for the generosity of Roger Gresham and Lord Rushworth. Roger was only a young doctor starting out in practice and couldn't help a great deal, of course, though he was even fonder of me than Miles Rushworth. Now that I look back on it, it was in July that things took such a distressing turn. I'd been out to dinner with Roger Gresham and I asked him up to the flat afterwards to say hello to Jarvis and cheer him up. Poor Jarvis hadn't been feeling well lately. Well, Ivy, this is a fine hour to come home to your loving husband. What have you been? Out, darling. Aren't you going to say hello to Roger? I suppose I should thank him for keeping my wife amused. I say, old fellow. Roger has just been telling me the most fascinating things. He was called as an expert, you know, for the crown of the Bronson case. I asked him to come up and tell you about it, darling, since you're such a detective fan. Well, that's nice of you, Roger. Tell me all about the Bronson case. Well, there was nothing so interesting about the murder itself. It was just a simple case of arsenic poisoning. You don't say. As a medical man, what interested me about it was what a doctor ought to do in a case where he suspects a patient's being secretly poisoned. What would you do, Roger? Well, I... it's hard to say. If you called in the police and your suspicions turned out to be unfounded, it's just about to finish your career. I suppose that's why so many poisoners get away with it. Well, I... I guess I'd better be getting along. Drop in again sometime, Roger. Bring your own arsenic. Jarvis. Well, cheerio. I'll see you later. Really, Jarvis? I've never been so humiliated. You know I don't like him. Why do you persist in bringing him here? Why, darling, I do believe you're jealous. Well, why shouldn't I be?  It's like old times, isn't it?  Oh, now, darling, don't be like that. There's only one other. You admit it. Well, darling, we may as well be realistic. We're still stony broke and you don't seem to have any prospects. What are you driving at? Well, Miles got back in town today and I was doing him tomorrow night. Lord Rushworth, darling.   Why, you little... Oh, well, now, darling, can I help it if Miles Rushworth is awfully, awfully fond of me and if it helps us, what's the difference? Go on. I'm listening. Darling, look, I'm just a burden to you at the stage, aren't I? So you want me to give you a divorce? Is that it? You needn't make any difference between us, darling.   Of course I'm serious, darling.  Jarvis. You married me for a ritter or a poorer, and you're going to stick to your bargain. And if you try to divorce me, I'll make such a scandal your precious Lord Rushworth will wish he'd never met you. In fact, I have a notion to do it anyway. Oh, Jarvis, you wouldn't. That would spoil everything. You're frightened, aren't you? Well, I'll give you your choice.  Which will it be? Well... Well, all right, Jarvis. I'll tell Roger and Miles both. I can't see them again ever. Why didn't you just ask me to kill myself? I might have obliged if you'd been more honest. Jarvis, you mustn't say such things. You're poison to me. I'll have to let you go. I won't.  Oh, so you see, Miles, I simply can't go on seeing you. It isn't fair to Jarvis. Is he being fair to you? You don't understand. I'm all he has left now. You're so good. So innocent.  Has he done one thing? Has he even tried to get a job so that he could support you? I married him for richer or poorer, until death do us part. Then I pray death be merciful to us both, Ivy. Oh, you mustn't say such things or to Wiccan. I'm sorry, my dear. Ivy, I wanted to give you this little remembrance. I had hoped to give it to you under happier circumstances, but please accept it now. As a farewell present. Oh, Lord Rushworth, you shouldn't have. It's only a little thing, a little handbag you admired so much. We saw it in Cartier's window. Oh, the one with the emerald clasp. Oh, you shouldn't have. Oh, it must have cost a fortune. Look in the mirror. The emerald matches your eyes. You will accept it, won't you? Oh, Miles, I'll carry it with me always. Ivy, darling, come in, come in. I was just in the neighborhood, Roger, and I thought that I... Yeah, yeah, let me take your things. I say.  Oh, emerald, emerald, isn't it? Yes, Miles gave it to me. Isn't it lovely? You know what it means, accepting a present like that from him.  It was a farewell present. Farewell? Do you really mean that? Roger, Roger, please. Please. What if your housekeeper walked in? Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Well, come on, darling, come in here. I was just putting up a prescription.  I never knew a doctor's surgery looked like this. Weren't you ever in here before? No. What's in that bottle? Huh? Oh, who asked me? I thought it was a poison. Well, it is. It's also a phytonic taken in the right amounts.  Oh, about the same amount as the amount of sugar it would take to sweeten your coffee. Oh, doesn't it give you an eerie feeling? What? That little glass jar that's death in it. Prison waiting to escape. Oh, aren't you being rather morbid? Will you have one or two spoonfuls of death in your coffee, darling?  All right, it's my patient. Now wait here, darling. Shout be alone. As soon as he'd left the room, I picked up the glass jar on the end of the table, unscrewed the top of it, almost without being aware of what I was doing. How strange and exciting to know that death was in that jar. In those little white crystals, then as if some power outside myself had suddenly taken possession of me, I pressed the catch of that lovely jeweled handbag and commenced spooning out the white crystals. One, two, three. Sorry to be so long, darling. I had to listen to a recital of the colonel's symptoms. Oh, that's all right. I was just fixing my makeup. I can't seem to find my lipstick. I saw girl, you're looking rather pale. Perhaps I had better prescribe a tonic for you. Oh, no. I'm just a little tired, that's all. Hello. What is it, Roger? Oh, nothing. I could have sworn I put the cap back on the spot. Oh, well. On the bus, all the way back to Kensington, I kept wondering why I had done that funny thing. It seemed as if everyone was staring at me and at the little handbag with the emerald clasp. In a momentary surge of panic, I wondered if they'd guessed my secret. The little white crystals of death I had carried away with me. For what? For whom? Then, of a sudden, it came to me. Providence had placed in my hands the means of helping my poor, unhappy husband. For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star, Miss Anne Richards, whom you have heard in the first act of The Story of Ivy by Mrs. Bella Clowns, which is Roma Wines' presentation tonight of Suspense. Between the acts of suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. Gracious hostess Elsa Maxwell makes this timely suggestion. During the warm weather, I'd suggest you try America's smartest, coolest drink, refreshing Roma wine and soda. So simple and yet so charming. When the temperature soars, enjoy iced, thirst-quenching Roma wine and soda. Simply half-fill tall glasses with good Roma California burgundy or Roma California sautern, add ice cubes and sparkling water, a little sugar if you wish, and for a decorative touch, garnish with cherries and slices of fruit. The secret of the flavorful goodness of Roma wine and soda is the distinguished Roma wine, unvaryingly good, always high in quality of bouquet, brilliance, and taste. The result of selected grapes, slowly brought to perfection in California's choicest vineyards, carefully, unhurriedly, guided to flavorfulness by the ancient skill of Roma's famed wineries. Yet all this goodness is yours for only pennies a glass. Remember, because of uniformly fine quality at reasonable cost, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. R-O-M-A, Roma wines. And now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage, and Richards, who continues the story of Ivy, a play well calculated to keep you in suspense. My husband's illness lasted only a little more than a week, but to me it seemed an intolerably long time. Thanks to the generosity of Lord Rushworth, I was able to have a nursing to look after him, but I couldn't help wishing there was something more I could do for him. I'd used up nearly all of the poison I'd carried away that night from Roger's dispensary, but instead of the merciful death I had hoped it would bring, it seemed only to cause poor Jarvis to suffer more pain. There were only a few grains of the white crystals left in the bottom of the little handbag with the emerald clasp, and I hadn't the heart to go on with it. Besides, Jarvis' doctor was commencing to ask too many questions. I decided to consult another physician, and under the circumstances, Roger Gresham seemed the wisest choice. Ivy, I came the moment I received a message. You're offering so dreadfully, Roger. I hadn't any idea it would be so painful. You hadn't any idea what? Well, I mean, he complained of a stomach ache, and suddenly and the number... Where is he? What have a look at him? In here. This is Dr. Gresham Nurse. How do you do, Doctor? Jarvis, I've asked Roger to look at you. You don't mind, do you, dear? Get him out of here. I've been poisoned. He's the one who poisoned me. Get him out of here! Poor boy. He's been that distracted, he has. I'll just prescribe a little sedative for him, Nurse. I'll go and order up some tea, Roger. You will stay, won't you? Oh, yes. Yes, thanks. Oh, Mrs. Lexton, I was just looking for you. Dr. Berwick is waiting in the drawing room with another gentleman, ma'am. I'll see what they want. Order up some tea, will you, dear? Oh, Mrs. Lexton, this is Inspector Orpington. Inspector? Oh, Scotland Yard, ma'am. Oh. Dr. Berwick tells me he has reason to suspect I've been suffering from arsenic poisoning, Miss Lexton. I don't understand. Your husband keeps speaking of someone named Roger Gresham. Is that the name, Dr. Berwick? Uh, yes, yes. Why, that's Dr. Gresham. He's in there now with my husband. Good lord. Come along, Inspector. You'd better wait here, Mrs. Lexton. Never until that moment had I realized how foolish my actions had been. Surely now they would suspect poor Roger. But how could I have known if it took forever so long to die? If there had only been someone to confide in, I felt so alone. I'll have your license for discretion. Do you hear me? Look here, Berwick. Mrs. Lexton never told me there was another doctor on the case. Oh, is that true, Mrs. Lexton? Well, yes. Dr. Gresham is an old friend of mine, and I saw no harm in his looking in. Well, nevertheless, I shan't sign the death certificate, not till there's a post mortem. Death certificate? I'm sorry, Mrs. Lexton. It's our painful duty to inform you that your husband has just passed away. Oh, poor Jarvis. Roger. It's Ivy. Roger, it's been such an ordeal you don't know. And that dreadful man, that inspector from Scotland Yard, has been here again asking questions. What kind of questions? Well, darling, I can't tell you everything over the telephone, but he said it was his duty to find out the truth. The truth about what? They found out that poor Jarvis died of arsenic poisoning. See you, sir. The inspector says they know it was murder, because Jarvis hadn't acid... What grape could I have? None, of course, darling. But I was silly enough to let out to the inspector that you had been, well, fond of me in a sort of way. Are you there, Roger? The moment I said it, I saw what a mistake I'd made, but he spoke as if he already knew such a lot. Or at any rate, some part of it. What part of it? Well, that even if I didn't care for you, you had been very, very fond of me. Are you there, Roger? Yes, I have. Well, he's certain to ask if I'd ever been to see you at your house, I mean. Well, of course, I said no. Are you still on the line, Roger? You won't give me away. Will you, Roger, darling? Roger Greshel. The jury, after a careful and patient hearing, have found you guilty of the willful murder of Jarvis Lexton. The sentence of the court upon you is that you be taken from here to a lawful place of execution and that you be there hanged by the neck until you win. There, my dear, you mustn't give away like this. I can't help it, Miles. It's been such a shock now. Well, it's all over now. Look here, Ivy, why not take a long voyage somewhere far away from here? The CM is marvelous for forgetting one's troubles and make a fresh start somewhere. Rio, for instance. Oh, I've always wanted to see Rio. Perhaps we can go there for our honeymoon. Honeymoon? Are you thinking of remarrying? Why, Miles, darling? Of course. Don't you remember what you said? If I were only free. Well, I'm free now. Ivy, I don't quite know what to say. I'm very fond of you, of course. And I'll badly lend you any financial assistance, but as for marriage, particularly under the circumstances, you must know there's been a great deal of talk about you and Gresham. Surely you don't believe those stories. There's never been anyone but you, Miles. If I'd met you before I met Jarvis... We could never have been in any case Ivy. Surely you've realized that? I'm not good enough to be Lady Rushworth. Is that what you're trying to say? Too good, if you like. It's not my choice in any case. I was born with this name, and I have certain responsibilities. You stop it now. Well, I wish I could make you understand. There's my mother, for instance. She's an invalid heart, you know. And if I were to marry...  But the things you said, the presents you gave me, what was I to think? Well, I'm sorry if you thought I was leading you on. The night that I gave you the bag... The emerald bag. You were saving it for the kiss-off, was that it? Well, that's rather a crude way of putting it. It matches the color of your eyes, you said. And I said I'll carry it with me always. Funny, isn't it? No, Ivy, please, the servants.  I want them to hear. Perhaps the whole world will hear one day that Ivy Lexton poisoned her husband for Lord Rushworth. Ivy, what are you saying? Two lives weren't too much for Ivy to sacrifice, and the risk of her own life meant nothing. She wasn't good enough from the Lord.  Why, I can't believe it. Well, let me tell you something you can believe. I never loved you. I loved your money and the title. I wanted to be a lady.  Well, I'm not sorry. I've always hated your kind deep down inside of me. Cowards, cowards, all of you. Anything to save face, anything. Raj, you're Gresham going to the gallows because he's too much of a gentleman to tell the truth. That I was in his flat the night Jarvis was poisoned. You've got an innocent man behind. If he'd loved me as he pretended to, he would have killed Jarvis. If he'd been a man instead of a gentleman. If any of your kind were real men, well, I've had enough of it.  Pretty little thing, isn't it? A little handbag and so expensive, too. The emerald matches my eyes, does it? Get out of here and take it with you. No, thank you. I'm not in the market for emeralds this season, my lord. They cost too dear. We've enlarged the residue in that handbag, Inspector. Oh, good, good. What did you find? Well, quite a lot of face powder, some tobacco crumbs and about three grains of chemically pure arsenic. Leave it here. Sergeant, bring in Mrs. Nexton. Yes, sir. Bring in the prisoner. It's the meaning of this, Inspector. Please, please instruct your officers to treat me with respect. I'm not a common criminal. Let her go, officer. Thank you, Inspector. Mrs. Nexton, have you ever seen this handbag before? Oh, where did you get that? I'll ask you a question. Where did you get the arsenic that we found in it? I'm sure I don't know. Why don't you ask Lord Rushworth? My dear, Mrs. Nexton, surely you know that Lord Rushworth is in no condition to answer questions. What do you mean? Lord Rushworth died last night of the effects of arsenic poisoning. And so my story draws to a close. It's a comfort to me as I sit here in the condemned cell to know that so many loyal friends still believe in my innocence. In spite of all the un-gentlemanly things the crown prosecutor said about me during my trial. I was especially gratified at the tribute paid to the costumes I wore in the witness box. One admirer has written to compliment me on my delivery and the poise I exhibited under cross-examination. I'm told that my remarks were clearly audible in the very back row of the spectator seats in spite of the overcrowding. And on the final day of testimony I received that greatest of all the tributes and actress can command. My audience was moved to tears. And so in spite of all the misfortunes that have befallen me and my loved ones I have at last realized my life's ambition. The F. Well, Mrs. Lexton, does it meet with your approval? Well, I think you might point out that I killed Lord Rushworth too. Of course, between you and me, my dear, I didn't. It must have been suicide. But you know it makes a better story. And please print the photograph that was taken of me outside St. Paul's after my husband's funeral. That was the smartest frog I ever owned. I think that can be arranged, Mrs. Lexton. And how much did you say the paper's going to pay for my story? Two hundred pounds. We thought that was quite generous. Well, it's not much. But it'll come in handy. They're hanging me next week, you know. And I haven't a thing to wear. And so closes the story of Ivy in which Roma Wines have brought you and Richards as star of tonight's study in... Suspense. Suspense is produced, edited and directed by William Spear. Before Miss Richards returns to the microphone let me say a word for Roma Wines, the sponsor of Suspense.

It's surprisingly low priced. Try Roma vermouth soon, won't you? This is Anne Richards with a very important word. Outfighting men still need lots of weapons, ammunition, food and supplies to defeat Japan. And they still depend on us at home to help pay the way. There'll be one less war loan this year. So to do our share we must buy bigger war bonds now during the seventh war loan. War bonds, remember, are the world's safest investment. Thank you, Anne Richards. Next Thursday, same time, Mr. Henry Daniel will be your star of Suspense. Presented by Roma Wains. R-O-M-A made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.

It has been a little bit well, if you're playing with the illusion of time, but it's been important to take some time in the relative sense to just relax the urgency the need to post content and instead to just really let these Realizations these insights just Deeply integrate into the body and to really Just take the time to feel truth in the body it can be quite tempting to Move on to the next concept or the next idea or the next conversation or the next place to travel or the next project But it takes a different kind of Energy to just Take the time to relax and Let the realization fully into every single crevice of the mind every crevice of the heart every crevice of consciousness of awareness and that's what this has been and So now bang Let's see what happens as there is a reemergence a rebirth of sorts of Sharing the distillation of these insights on the interwebs hopefully Some of these things That will be coming some that have Been distilling for years Again, this is the first live stream in two years just been distilling powerful content and just really letting it turn into a diamond Before sharing it and I look forward to seeing how those land and I'll communicate some of them here in this bit The main subject for this bit That has been quite pressing in on my heart and also given the Illusion of worldly drama is that Self-realization or the pursuit of truth and the realization of what you truly are is In fact the most important thing that you can do to actually make change on a collective level and Especially in the realm of ethics Morals love Prosperity if you want those key core things you Absolutely have to be self-realized to be at the fullest peak of Success at a collective level, so that's the greatest gift you can give a collective is to Shut up Find the deepest sense of truth within yourself and in this case you can call it emptiness you can call it the Knowledge of dependent origination you can call it the uncreated light There's endless ways to describe God now So many ways to put it But ultimately it's all about how you be it It's about how you be it in the relations of The cosmos in the relations of existence So you have to be love you literally have to be love and You can look at all these symbols like Christ up on across Crucifixion is the crucifixion of ego. It's the crucifixion of separate self is what it is into Pure consciousness rebirthing as that as Pure awareness no identity no location no time no Concepts no conditional love no others None of those things just pure awareness itself without any attributes without any identifiers and you want to notice that the appearances and the awareness or the consciousness are Equivalent they are non-dual. They are equivalent Anything that's appearing anything that's arising is Is school if Something is arising that means it is school if nothing is arising therefore Sitting in truth. Oh Something is arising that means I've Conditioned perception to fabricate Something that's appearing or arising and you can tell when you get attention in your body It's because you have now somehow created a sense of self and there's a sense of other and now you're Having either a push or a pull you want to avoid what they're saying or you want to try to project your own Ideas on to them to try to change them in some way. So you feel a deep tension a deep contraction Versus if none of that is happening What is but peace but pure awareness, but love itself When you see something appearing you can give it all the love Because it's you appearing and that appearance is Undergoing some mysterious process of unraveling a Conditioning unraveling attention a contraction a knot And you're there to love it you're there to help it Unravel the conditioning unravel the knot Unravel the contraction through your love through your space and your energetic mastery is all about determining the level of earnestness that is coming up how earnest is the energy to actually undergo the alchemical transmutation that is being sought and How pure are your reflections? How empty is the space that you're holding of your own sense of self your own sense of self image your own sense of self Validation your own sense of self interest all of those things how truly empty can you be and so When you look at all of these issues that are happening on a collective level all these ethical dilemmas oh my gosh the political propaganda about Artificial general intelligence or about all these worries about weaponry and all these Geopolitical climate and all these things. They're all solved at the deepest level with self realization period Period. It's so obvious Because when you are fully realized You are at the deepest level in the seat of love and You just emanate that love to the collective and you just help the collective heal You help the collective loosen their tight assholes tight assholes Tight mind you see the low and the high are mirrors of each other So sit in the seat of self realization sit in the seat of emptiness Sit in pure awareness itself without a sense of identity or location in pure Timelessness sit in that and then from that hold the space of love for whatever process of healing of transformation of awakening for the collective to wake up out of all of its mess of ethical dilemmas That's the greatest gift that you can contribute. That's the solution And you have to sit in the conviction of that Otherwise, there will be so many projections of ideas that try to tether you Nothing solves the ethical dilemmas as much as self realization Sitting in the seat of pure awareness When you are fully empty of self you can finally be full of wholeness of love for whatever Transformational process wants to happen and you have to decipher If the energy is earnest and you have to Just Sit in that self realization just really sit in it Marinate in it bathe in it watch as deeper and deeper Conditionings of your own sense of self that have been programmed for 10 20 30 years watch as they Dissolve and so it requires time like this it requires to just sit and be like this and to just really feel the sense of Awareness without identity without location without time to just feel Absolute Wholeness just like this without any Device you don't need to be on a device You don't need to be doing anything you don't need to be thinking about anything Just learn how to relax into truth And then learn how to hold that For the drama so again The biggest takeaway is that emptiness of Self fullness of love of Nonlocality of non-identity that is the greatest gift That we can give to a collective that is in the deepest parts of its dramas and In ethical Explorations, I'm so excited to be rebirthing Back onto the channel making content helping us Wake up Helping us create prosperity and abundance. There's nothing else to do But create prosperity and abundance for all that's another mmm Most beautiful part of Self-realization is that all you care about is prosperity and abundance for all Because all is you And so you just want everyone to have their basic needs be met you want everyone to be Actualizing their greatest gifts into the world You want everyone to feel deep wholeness and deep love within themselves But you also understand that the whole point of the entire drama Was to be deluded It was to be contracted The simultaneity the paradox the superposition That the veil Is both your greatest tool It's your greatest design your greatest gift And at the same time the veil is your greatest delusion. It's your greatest distortion. It's your greatest Drama instigator That's superposition. That's paradox Simultaneity so It's great. It's just like floodgates are Opening with this Rebirth from this greater Emptiness this greater purity this greater clarity and I'm unbelievably excited to make content and share it and I hope that as you're waking up that you're finding the Communities to build basic needs abundance on earth and If you don't yet know of decentralized autonomous organizations or dows I highly recommend diving into dows and becoming more and more involved in dows There is one Dow. It is called you you are the universal Dow and Making a decentralized autonomous organization on earth is the way to Maximize collective potential meet basic needs for everyone and home Dow is the place where I'm doing it and It's going to be the one of the world's largest deep ends a decentralized physical infrastructure network water food next-gen energy next-gen housing But these basic needs being met so that we can Actualize whatever creative gifts we want so find the dows if you're waking up and build build them and They'll all undergo some osmosis as one collective Dow organism that will just Manifest that heaven on earth that we all know deep within our hearts is possible and that all these children are coming here birthing into play all right Remember self realization is the biggest gift that you can give right now to a ethically confused Collective in the middle of its drama much love fan


Cooper Union, what's happening with human rights around our world on Think Tech live broadcasting from our downtown studio in Honolulu, Hawaii and Moana, Nuiakea. I'm your host, Joshua Cooper. And today's episode is the UN Commission on the Status of Women 66 session, Women's Equality in a Warming World. I'm so fortunate to be joined by three amazing activists who are advocating for climate justice in the world. And we'll be looking at the important issues of what happened recently in New York at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Nolene, what were some of the exciting aspects that happened at the CSW? Can you share some of those results? Sure, I think I'd start by saying that for us, one of the significant things about this year, apart from the fact that it's taken 65 commissions to have a specific focus on gender climate change and disaster risk and response. So that in itself is is a huge precedent setting commission on the status of women. And what we really needed to do is make sure that what is what was in the language is helpful, not yet just for this year, but really carrying forward into the future. So that's the first point. The second was that because it was a hybrid set of work where we had a lot of us who were online and and some that were in New York, but quite a small number when you look at the thousands that it's usually the most well attended, multilateral negotiating negotiating space. So that's really important as well is that people are trying to make sure that those of us particularly in the economic south and in climate frontline communities are really engaged in the work that is happening there in New York at the at the UN at the Commission on the Status of Women. The third point to make is we we were really quite, you know, I would say stressed and angry that many of the decisions around access were happening very, very late. And for us, it's a huge thing to travel from the Pacific. You know, there are long haul flights that are involved, but also we have the issue of public health and COVID-19 to work through. So we decided on a saturation online campaign and really tried to work as four of the larger networks within the Pacific who are working on gender and climate change and sustainable development. So between Diva for equality, the Pacific feminist community of practice, Pekan, which Jeshua will speak to a little later, and shifting the power coalition, we really brought in a whole range of various groups who then were able to mobilize and kind of bring all the messages from the Pacific. And it was really significant to see that there was another campaign similar from Africa called CSW, so Africa Disrupt CSW 66. And I think it's because people understand that the multilateral system right now needs to be really, really strong and clear about what is the international, you know, we talk about international community, but who is it? Does it include those of us who are in climate frontline states? Does it include small island peoples? Does it include indigenous and local groups? And so we would determine no matter what was happening in the real politic in the spaces of New York, in the spaces of, you know, London and and Bonn and everywhere else, that we were doing our own part to make sure our voices are heard. So I think I just start there and then I'll come back. Thank you. Thank you so much for that beginning. You bring up a great point because this year, the conference of parties for the UN Framework Committee on Climate Change will be happening and hosted by Africa. So it's great to bring Oceania and the Pacific together and make sure that the people on the frontline voices are absolutely heard. Carlo, can you share some of your perspectives of what happened and some of the results that were most compelling for you? Thank you Joshua. Yes, for CSW 66 this year kind of really see the engagement of youth, of young women, of young families being annexed because of the priority in itself, seeing a climate in the context of empowering women and girls. So in terms of climate change, the Pacific climate change, it leads to all other issues. It leads to violence against women, it leads to violence against girls and children, it leads to poverty, it leads to violence against LGBTQ members, it leads to most of other issues like, if it is women, our environment, our food chain, our food service, our biodiversities, so for us to engage in a global platform, coming from a grassroots community level, this is important to us because of our voices, most of the time our voices are not being heard, even at community level, even at national level for instance, but for us to even being included in the speaking side event session, the speaking slots, this is where we really prioritize the theme, our issues being brought up into global level because of women don't just woke up one morning and become activists, they become families because we have lived the realities of climate change, of the climate crisis, the urgency of these issues, so it's so urgent because we want to get the climate excellent really fast because of constant change of weather patterns because of the frontline of our communities, we're facing flood every now and then, we have our villages being displaced, being moved from one place to another, our children being affected because of, we just recently came out from the pandemic, there's education system on hold, employment on hold, so we can imagine the poverty increase, imagine the highest increase of violence and coming from small island states where the rate of violence is highest, second highest, so it is portraying a bit of this urgent work to do, so this is where CSW, for us as sandfarms, this is women, for us to be included in this is making levels because if something is development in a community, we should be included in this making level, not only women, also young people, because we are fighting not only for our future here, the future of our children coming for us and for this beautiful planet, but also the beautiful species that we engage with every day. Thank you, Joshua. No, thank you so much and you really brought up the human rights-based approach to make sure that the rights of people, but also our mother earth is respected and you really made the interconnectedness of all the issues, how one leads to the other. In too many times with the sustainable development goals, people focus on one goal or two goals, but all the goals build on one another and your foundation was so strong, making sure that directly impacted people's are speaking for themselves at these global arenas to make sure that people understand what's really happening. Joshua, anything you want to share about the CSW or any result that stood out to you, it's great to have my brother from another mother there, we got the same name, and my mom's name is Hope, so we're just like connected. In future, I would call you Yava, given that we share almost the first name and practically the same last name, but thank you, I think Nolan and Vika have summed it up so perfectly, I don't know how to possibly follow that, but there is one thing that that Nolan said that I think I'll just add on to and that's the barriers to access. It's one thing to be able to participate online, virtually it's something completely different to be physically present in those spaces to be there with negotiators, with decision makers, and you look at the outcomes document and you look at the text and they talk about things like meaningful participation, but this is what we mean by meaningful participation. Meaningful participation has to be about looking at what are those barriers to access, looking at how we as activists and people in civil society spaces can positively influence the spaces and influence the texts and the decisions that are coming out of it. So I think for us it's not just about the language that we see in the text, but also about taking that language and making it practice. I think that's that's all that I have to add. Oh no, it's exactly true and it's really the work by the NGOs in that coalition, it's great to have Diva there, Feminist Policy Agenda, Pacific Island Climate Action Network and to highlight how we really are large ocean nations that have to be included at the table and more importantly have the ancestral wisdom that the world will be able to survive when listening as opposed to ignoring as they have done in the past and the pursuit of profit ignoring people in the planet. Nolene can you share with us because you really did a lot of the organizing before it. We didn't just wake up as Kahlo said and get to speak at a side event. What was done to be able to make sure that the both of Oceania was present and then what were some of the major side events and really the highlights because it is true part of the work is focusing on paragraphs and in small periods and all the little parts of those outcome document but there's so many other aspects. Can you give people a taste on a flavor of New York City and the CSW as you said is one of the biggest multi diplomatic events that ever happened at the UN? Thank you, yes we started way back last year so I'm really around September, October we were already planning toward it. Really as soon as we heard the you know what the theme was going to be we moved into into action and started preparing and organizing. So we've worked with Pacific Island governments, we've worked with the Pacific Forum Secretariat, we've worked with SPC and many other institutions and governments through the Pacific and we did that deliberately because we wanted to be part of a combined set of analysis and positions that came through and so we had a one-on-one climate, gender and climate training that was organized with the support of the Forum with the civil society in the Pacific actually worked with and shared our knowledge and our experience with the gender machinery they call it which sounds a bit kind of you know I don't know I don't like that language but it's really the women's ministries, anyone who's working on gender within governments we tried to bring together and make sure that they were they were prepared and that we were prepared to be working with them because often we have our sets of work in social movements and they're incredibly important and sometimes they align very easily with government and sometimes it's very difficult to be in the same room or even online working together productively and we have to be there we have to be working with each other knowing what each other's positions are so that all started very early last year then I also myself and Nalini Singh and Mariani from Dawn were part of the CSW 66 expert working group so being on that we were able to influence the report that then is taken to the UN secretary general and make sure that our positions were going through from there as well so I think it's incredibly important to have both the kind of mainstream sets of work that we're doing and then also make sure that we're working on the ground with the groups who who themselves often don't have access to these multilateral spaces so there is some deliberate coordination that occurs it's a really big load on organizations that already have very limited resources so that's part of what we do we taught we work we worked on mitigation we worked on adaptation we worked on loss and damage positions we tried to make sure that they were clear for ourselves and came from the communities in which we work the constituencies and on the outcomes I just say Joshua that you know commission on the status of women I've been through many many now and there are blend always of positives and missed opportunities and sometimes there are outright negatives because of the political play that happens within negotiation rooms and we would be naive if we didn't talk about that so for instance we're absolutely furious I have to say that environmental human rights defenders were left out of the text they were in the text early and then there was negotiation and they came out you know to have a removal from from reality is is really upsetting for us because there's women and gender non-binary people and others men as well who are giving their lives their family their safety and other priorities for this work around the world and we and these numbers are rising every year every year more die and are affected and the vast majority of those activists are indigenous peoples protecting the 20% of the earth that holds the 80% of biodiversity so that does make us very angry and for them to be so casually dismissed but we're really happy for instance for the first time ever in the agreed conclusions to see a mention you'll like this Joshua as well in your work to see mention of journalists and media workers that's a very first time ever in commission on the status of women we've been fighting for that a struggle for that for a long time so we were quite surprised that it went through with no struggle and sometimes it is like that that you can work for years for a text change and then all of a sudden in the middle of some context it becomes clear that that it's time for that that text to be in there also we're not entirely happy with the loss and damage in the agreed outcomes there's barely a mention there's actually just a couple in fact and and we had a loss at the very last minute in the preambular section but we're very pleased that there's two paragraphs in the operating section because for anyone who's not familiar with those out agreed outcomes it is that that's where the decisions that come out are operationalized so through the rest of the year governments will work out how are we going to put that into practice we push on those how do we make those real as as both Kado and Vika and Jeshua said so we it's shocking actually that there's no mention of intimate partner violence so we were really pushing for that it didn't get through there's only one mention of sexual and reproductive health and rights and we all know that in crises women's bodies are under a lot of attack even more than usual but also that the access to emergency contraception and all those issues that are about transformation of the state and transformation of society so that everyone has their rights respected is really important so there's a lot of work to do now but but really we also got many good sets of language in to have loss and damage and there is a very big struggle to have so many references to young women and girls was really important as Kado said and they were just leaders in the process Australia I have to say Joshua is such a laggard on climate policy and when I actually challenged in the campaign in New York some positions on loss and damage I said that CSW agreed outcomes wouldn't be useful unless loss and damage was included apparently there was some anger from them and they made it known to some but really for me I was too busy trying to work out how we keep our voices loud and clear we know what our positions are we won't be influenced by others who are trying to tell us whether or not we are able to put certain we've always pushed that we're always trying as civil society and as social movements to be authentic and clear and honest in our positioning thank you I appreciate that and it takes me back to sitting in the Vienna cafe or on the couches outside the negotiating room and just waiting for it and that's really why this is so important for you to share because the CSW it's the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated promotion of gender equality in the power of women and you giving that behind the scenes aspect also encourages more people to be like how could you leave out environmental human rights defenders I was teaching a class in Geneva and the rising number is alarming and it it's you raising that lets us all know we have to put more effort to make sure that it's not excluded into the future and Carlo can you share with us a bit of some of the highlights or the side event that really mattered most to you during the CSW Thank you Josso yes I could share with side events the session that I spoke in it's kind of which highlights the Pacific frontline side events because of the Pacific gang that's going to be speaking so for me personally speaking first time to be engaged in CSW and even though it's from a virtual side session so even though I'm not there physically but I could it's a very challenging because of coming like I said coming from a grass root based community based feminist work and also to speaking at a higher level forum like that kind of pushes the work that we do here in the ground because we know that that the work that we do in it's you know you just to link to regional and also to global because of the continuous work it's not always about it's about the community it's about the the women that we work with because we we're at the frontline of these urges of this crisis because of even though we're at the frontline also our bodies have been violated we face public data to the members of our LGBT community also especially sex workers are also being violated women and girls they face the SRSR sexual the Northern rights are not being recognized as a woman in the community so this work is important to us because even for me speaking yet at that side events it kind of has speaking most about the community for the community because it has to be highlighted in the global level it's not only here around here because this is this is so important because it has to lead up to the global level and also down again because the community that we work with it is it has to show that this work is not only here it is it is a link to regional to regional and global so it is so important because it determines our future also we cannot get to the work even if our bodies are violated or the environment around us is being destroyed is being affected so how can we do this a very important work is beautiful work even environment around us is breaking down is being damaged is being you know our homes being relocated so for me speaking at that side of it also highlighted the work that we do here in Diva it connects with women from the maritime from the remote informal sermons women from the communities LGBT women also LGBT community as a whole so you know it's a very totally new experience and maybe when there's travel restriction is lifted maybe could feel the experience physically but for me from talking from home virtually it is also very challenging but it's a good experience and we have other women like the families like Nolina Bulgo and other families in the room other Pacific families the young a Pacific families also the young the youth that is telling I will ask all these and bring the campaign from at home it kind of challenging and keep pushing because of the urgency of the issue because we we are looking after our planet and also specific calendars this is also very important to us because of the beautiful environment that we have here in the Pacific the beautiful beaches the feast the beautiful covenanted trees you know Joshua so yes that's why it's important to us it's true it's in a way even though the theme was achieving gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programs we're really I think and what you did in is sharing that familiar relationship with the Aina with the earth with the water and explaining it so that people gain a great understanding of what is necessary going forward to protect the planet and the people who are taking care of this mother earth Joshua can you share since that was the theme why was important important for the Pacific Island Coalition and the network to come together and what were the highlights for Pekin thank you so much Joshua yeah like Vika this is also my first time actually participating in CSW 66 and so it was a bit of a surreal experience and I'm sure that some of my colleagues it was also the first time for us from Pekin side our work towards this began a couple of months before primarily with the support of diva for equality and Nolian and Vika who have been partners with Pekin but we're on this new project supported by the EU and part of that project was really outlining what of some of the key priorities for for Pekin and one of the first ones out of the field for us was definitely gender and climate change and I think that was really because we're beginning to recognize and I think that's true for the rest of the climate justice space in the Pacific and really around the world that climate change is not just a bubble of its own and gender justice is not just a bubble of its own that more often than not the two of them are really issues that have a lot of intersections between them and so it was so important for us that we begin to understand that to address issues of climate change and to address climate justice we cannot do that without first addressing gender justice and so focusing on the intersectionalities between them was really important and and part of us doing that and the support that we really landed towards that in the leader of the CSW 66 campaign was really in terms of mobilizing and helping with gaining support online and so we had this really brilliant CSW 66 campaign we had a whole Twitter account that was created CSW 66 specific and part of the reasoning behind that is I think that we wanted to ensure that we're able to push out some key messages from our organizations but we also really wanted to connect with the people that we represent with grassroots people everyday people in Fijian around the Pacific and so we went around asking people for their thoughts their reflections around the theme of CSW 66 and they gave us so many brilliant quotes and that's featured in our Twitter pages but that was something that I thought was really powerful about this campaign was that it was a really autumn approach and we got to speak to so many different people activists, climate justice activists gender justice activists and really bring them into this process of CSW 66 and ensure that there was a bridge that was connecting and that wasn't just happening at that global multilateral space No that was great and it is true we have to be able to translate the text from there at home and maybe in our final five minutes we have maybe you can share with us how, Nolene, you're looking at bringing the CSW to the community as well as Kahlo and Joshua what we can do with that Thank you Joshua we've got many sets of regional initiatives including the Pacific leaders gender equality declaration I was part of the revision committee that's been looking at it over the last year or so and part of that is making sure that climate change is not thought about often in the text we think about it as a quote unquote emerging issue there's no way it is we've been part of this struggle leading the struggle as Pacific peoples for decades and I would say even back longer than that is the preservation and the defense of our common so we're just making sure that as we go into COP 27 that we're all clear on our roles and that that includes gender and human rights as a very very strong perspective we're part of a group that now is moving towards the work on COP 27 in Egypt that will be at the end of the year and I'd really like people to join if they can and Bulla, hello from to everyone in Hawaii who's listening in and please be part of the hashtag is sorry, COP 27 Pacific so we've already started a Twitter group and I really would love if people can get more and more involved so one is about more of that two is about please let us make sure to the globe that everyone is clear that what we're talking about is the 1.5 trajectory that we have to make sure that we keep our planet safe for ourselves for other species but also for the ecosphere the living planet that that keeps us here and keeps us alive so I'll I'll end there so the others have time thanks so much for this opportunity Joshua yeah Mahalo Mahalo final thoughts and bringing it home yes um thank you Joshua um for us um yes during the the CSW when we have the campaign we when we go to the communities and we and we tell them about having this company is leading to CSW 66 for them because we are grassroots what is it is that CSW 66 so this is how the information transferred to their grassroots level so yes for them to to give out their thoughts and also for us when we're doing the work we also have our photos taken and you know when us when setting the campaign a message we also send the photos this is the work that we are doing on the ground this is um for us um here in Diva and also around the the Pacific you know we're already doing biodiversity projects you know to conserve our natural resource we already are doing setting up SRHR kids to villages in the Merta and because of the the the the their service has been damaged or they've been attacked by by the young men or by the youth and also we've been helping the urgent resources urgent action to the community so you know that that has been said by knowing the road to cope 27% so we are not just speaking and I know standing in front I know speaking up but we also doing our background work here at home because of you know speaking also comes with actions so you know for our fairer of Pacific and as we're listening and also yeah in Hawaii you know for us to also stand up and also you know do the work on the ground also protect our Pacific because you know when speaking up out to to the to the global level you know you also have our work done here at home so this also their time to do their work and also to invest in us because of this climate crisis thank you Joshua thank you Joshua sharing again about the Pacific Island Climate Action Network what are some of the small plans and the significant first steps to bring this text home thank you so much Josh so one of the first few things that we're doing at the policy level is that we're making sure that because sometimes when you read these outcomes documents in this text they're very they've got fancy hyperfluous language that can sometimes be lost especially if we're trying to take it back to the community so one of the first things that we're doing is we're trying to develop a lot of policy groups but we're making sure that we're using simple plain language that's easy to understand that communities can understand so that they have an avenue upon which they're able to understand what's happening at that big UN multilateral space that it's coming down directly back to them and then of course the other thing that we're doing is that we're really beginning to make use of social media as Nolene and Vika had pointed out this campaign that we ran and it only started in the month of March we had thousands of interactions of impressions huge follower counts people that were really engaging with it and that really is the power of social media the power of Twitter is that it's this space where we can bring this high level political messages back to communities as well as transferring it back up to the people that we want to influence so I think that those are really the two avenues that we're beginning to use is that policy space that we're holding on to as well as the social media space and using the power of social media to connect with our communities Thank you all three you really are amazing to share the Oceania gender and climate justice advocacy with insights of what's going on at the global but focusing on achieving equality in the face of the climate crisis here at home in Moana, New York thank you so much for joining and we look forward to partnering for COP 27 and the Pacific focus and making sure that we work on all these issues together Mahalo for all the work you did at the CSW and we know it's important seeds that will produce amazing new that will provide shade for future generations Thank you so much for watching Think Tech Hawaii If you like what we do please like us and click the

Hey, what's up everybody? Ricky Karuth here. So this just in Zillow is looking to sell 7,000 homes, okay? This comes just weeks after they announced that they were going to pause their eye-buying process. So they are going to stop buying homes and now they're in this predicament where they have 7,000 homes that they have to sell. So let's dig into it here. Just weeks after announcing a pause in its eye-buying, Zillow is aiming to sell about 7,000 homes for roughly 2.8 billion. The real estate giant is pitching the homes to institutional investors and will probably sell to multiple buyers. In mid-October, Zillow stated it would pause the purchasing of any new homes through the end of 2021, stating that an inability to keep up with demand amid labor and supply issues hindering its renovations and closing process. However, it will continue to fall through on any pre-existing contracts with consumers. The news of Zillow's efforts to unload thousands of properties also follows reports of the company's underpricing homes they had originally purchased for more. Now to me, it didn't take a genius to see how this whole thing was going to play out. When they started to buy houses, they were buying and selling them at a loss from day one. I don't know. I don't know that they'd ever made money on a house, probably here and there. But overall, average-wise, they were losing money from day one with this project. So if you're going into a market where prices are escalating very quickly over the course of several years and you're just buying thousands of properties and selling them at a loss and now you're holding all this inventory of thousands of homes, what do you think is going to happen as the market cools off? Again, this isn't rocket science. Zillow was pricing hundreds of homes that had purchased in Phoenix for a medium of 6.2% less than what the company had originally purchased them for. Zillow's Phoenix inventory is currently priced at a medium of 29,000 less than the buy price. This is a direct result of price reductions on 182 listings on an average of $41,000. But Phoenix isn't the only market which Zillow was listing homes at a price reduction. Okay, this is also happening in Atlanta and Dallas. So now you find Zillow in a very sticky situation where they have 7,000 homes, it seems, that they're going to try to unload at a loss, right? And so this is going to be very interesting to see how this plays out. And again, complete telegraph, like you could see this happening in real time. It didn't take any kind of, you know, massive amount of brain power to see how this thing was going to play out for them. The whole time they were buying houses, I was doing videos here saying how in the world is Zillow buying houses and selling them at a loss? I mean, it just made zero sense to me. And as the market continued to escalate, you know, agents that I know, they're telling me that Zillow is buying their client's house for more than full price. And I'm thinking to myself, what in the world, how can they even make sense? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Let's see how this thing plays out. I'll keep you informed here. Let me know if there's anything else in the world I can do for you today.  Talk to some buyers, talk to some sellers, see what you can do to help people and provide your services. Ricky Carruth signing off. We'll talk to you guys soon.


Let's say we have a goal in our business to hit $100,000 a month. Let's just look out three or six months and say, okay, six months, we hit $100,000 a month. What decisions let us there? And then we're gonna write down all the things that would lead us to that outcome. Now, if one of those is getting a coach who knows how to scale to 100 grand a month, we can write that down. And then the next time I wanna see else call for a coach who can help us get there and our brain is going, oh, I don't wanna make a decision or I wanna say no because it seems risky, we can look back and we can remember, okay, in the post more than I did after we had gotten there, I made the decision to work with a coach and then we're gonna know we should make that decision in the moment, even though it's scary to make that decision because we have such a fear of being wrong, right?


Today is when your evolution begins. Your goal is write out today's affirmation. Lisa is there on Skype. Hi there, Lisa. Hi. How are you? Pretty good. How are you? I'm very, very good. Thank you for being an evolved member and giving us the opportunity to work with you today. Lisa, how can I help you today? Well, you know, I really, I've been looking forward to reading from you for a long time. I knew it would happen. I do have to tell you that I'm an animal communicator and a psychic medium myself. So I was sitting here like holding space and I felt just a whoosh of energy. And I'm only assuming it came from you. I'm sitting here thinking, okay, I want to remember this feeling so that I can put it into my own reading. Well, that's very, very cool. Let me ask you a question. When you say you're an animal communicator, when people get a new pet, when somebody gets a new pet, whether it be a dog or cat, bird, whatever it is, what would you suggest they do with their pets to form a closer bond? There are several things, two things in particular. First is that I always recommend people to talk to their pets in their voice because I don't think people understand that animals understand more than we think they do. They may not understand every word we say of English or Spanish or French or whatever, but we speak words with intent and they understand intent. So they're very, very connected to our energy. So somebody that has a new animal, the best thing that they can do is just talk to them.  Don't criticize an animal in front of them. And the same thing is if you wouldn't walk out of the house, if you were living with somebody, you wouldn't just walk out of the house and not tell them where you were going and not when you're going to be back. So tell your animals, I'm going to be gone. I'm going to be gone for four hours. They understand that or I'll be back by dinnertime or something like that. I always add an hour just in case I'm late. But they understand. And the other thing is I have a little technique. I study Hawaiian shamanism and it's a little technique called piko piko, P-I-K-O. And what you can do is it's very simple. When you breathe in, you focus on the top of your head. When you breathe out, you focus on your belly.  And it's really a bonding. Just to clarify, you're not laying on top of your clients and asking them to breathe in and out. I'm just curious. No. As you're laying next to your pet, you can just do that and they will feel it for you. You can actually do it for them too. I mean, energy flows where attention goes. So if you focus on the top of their head, if they're stressed out, you can focus on the top of their head and their belly. And that's a real calming exercise. But if you do it together, if you do it for you, they connect to your energy and they connect to your vibration. And it's just a wonderful bonding exercise. Now, can you just say that again, the part where you said energy flows where attention goes and kind of own that? Yeah, energy flows where attention goes. It's one of the principles of Huna, H-U-N-A, which is a Hawaiian philosophy. And basically, if you put your attention someplace, that's where all of your energy is going to go. And in the frame of what I was talking about in a very simple terms, in very simple terms, you don't have to, in this breathing exercise, you don't have to move, you don't have to try to move the energy around. You don't have to try to get into any big meditative state.  It means center to center in Hawaiian. And what about animals that have crossed over? As an animal communicator, you have the ability to be able to connect with those energies who have left their physical vehicles here. How do you work with your clients? How do they come through to you? I connect to them directly and I connect to them in the same way. I use the same techniques I use in psychic mediumship where I raise my vibration, as opposed to just letting the information come in. I connect to them directly. And actually animals and spirit is one of my specialties and I absolutely love it because you don't have to go through all of the ego and all, you know, animals lives are so much smaller than people's lives. So they, you know, when you talk to an animal, I feel like I can get more into a linear, I hate to use that word, linear conversation, but more into a conversation. And if my clients are open to it, the messages that I am able to get from animals are, they're so amazing, they're so spiritual because we're not going through all of that ego and they don't have these big lives, you know, I mean, they've got their homes and once we get past the validation of their homes and their personalities or what I like to call feline alities or canine alities or whatever, I have gotten just some incredible, incredible, very spiritual messages that not only apply to specifically to those, you know, to their pet parents but apply to everybody and that I am able to use to help people in grief. Speaking of which, speaking of grief is my next question, you're going right there. What are three things that you would, you know, tell people to do if they've just lost their fur family member? Well, the first thing I always tell people is to understand that they are right there. I had one cat who showed me his mom was having a terrible time with his passing and he showed me himself unzipping his body and then just stepping out of his body is an ethereal mass next to his mom and he said, mom, I'm right here, I'm just not wearing my clothes anymore. And so I always tell them that you need to understand that they're right there but I also tell them that they, you know, rituals, we have rituals for reasons and I tell them that it's a good thing for them to have, you know, some sort of memorial, whatever it is, if they just light a candle and the really important part is if they have other animals, they need to understand that the other animals need to go through their grieving process as well. So if they have a memorial, if they want to sit and light a candle and talk about the pet who has passed, let the other animals be part of it so that they've gone through the process as well and not to get another animal too soon. Very cool. Lisa, I'm going to say thank you to you because you, you know, were selected to have a reading but in reality you apparently needed to be a guest contributor to Evolve today and I think it's really important because so many people ask me the question about pets and about the other side and I get them but I'm not an animal communicator. I'm an animal communicator the way everybody else watching this is an animal communicator. I get how it happens, I understand that but I think it's really, really important and I think that when you use the word you felt the whoosh happen before, it wasn't so much because I was going to read you, it was because you were going to work.  So thank you very, very much. Can I ask a question? What's your website? It's pausetalk.net, P-A-W-S-T-A-L-K dot net. Thank you very, very much, Lisa. I hope that other Evolve members find comfort in the information and the last time I'm going to ask you to say it again, energy does what? Energy flows where attention goes. Thank you very, very much. Thank you, John. Appreciate it. If you enjoyed this, share it with your family and friends.
