In your newest exhibit is Women in Cartography. Tell us a little bit about the exhibit. This exhibit was curated by Alice Hudson, who was the director of the map department at the New York Public Library for 35 years. Long been a passion of hers and Yolanda Tennyson, the former curator here at the Osher Map Library, to have an exposition on the role of women in cartography as it's largely as in other fields such as science and architecture been hidden from the historical record. So this exhibit explores 400 years of women's contributions in cartography going all the way from early colorists and cartoosh makers all the way to modern GIS. And how did they get involved in cartography in the first place? Women were usually involved in cartography through their families and their husbands. Some of them were publishers or engravers in their own right, but largely businesses, especially in the 18th and 17th centuries, were family oriented. And so they would take over as engravers, colorists, publishers usually as widows after their husbands died. They would keep the business going for a number of years and decades. Were they self-taught? The majority of them were either apprenticed or taught by their husbands or other members of the firms. There are some women in the exhibit from the early periods up until the 20th century that were self-taught but for the most part it's consistent with the culture of the time where they would have been apprenticed or learned from somebody else in the shop. And many of these women were not able to be publicly known. They used their initials etc. to hide their gender. Is that right? There are a few examples of the early women in this exhibit from before 1900 that did use their full names. For the most part a lot of them due to social constraints and economic reasons used their initials, especially when their initials were close to that of a man that was also represented in the field. So the majority of them did have to hide their full identity. And that's why Mary Ann Roke. Tell us about her story. Mary Ann Roke made this map which is a general chart of North America in 1761 which was shortly after she took over after her husband John Roke died. It's signed MA Roke which is pretty typical of the time, especially the 18th century. What's important is that she continued the business for a number of years after her husband's death and actually built a name for herself as a publisher. And when Alice Hudson started doing research into the history of women cartography, MA Roke was the only name that she was given by reference librarian at the New York Public Library. That one name led it to expand into Mary Ann Roke which led Alice down a hopeful path of finding more women that created maps especially in the 18th and 17th centuries. And for Mary Ann and other cartographers of the time, where did she get the actual information? She drew the map, but where did the information to draw the map come from? The information usually for these maps in the mid-18th century was compiled from a number of previous maps, manuscript surveys published charts and other kind of compiled things. Numerous parts of them were copied somewhat directly from other map makers that had been going on for over a century. So it's kind of a compilation as opposed to an original piece. And where do they get that information from? Do they do their own research themselves? Do they approach people and ask questions? How does that work? The publishing houses usually very little of the research themselves, usually returning sea captains, people that they knew who had been doing surveys, they would sometimes go there was a place in the government, especially for the United Kingdom, where the majority of charts and maps that came back from the New World were housed and so you could go in there. You could also just buy plates from a previous publishing company if they passed away and then take that information and put it on your own. There was some crowned copyright at this time but it was kind of lacks in certain regards so there were ways to get more information than you could legally. At that time there was so much exploration going on. I assume that the maps could have been changed almost monthly I would assume. They were definitely changed monthly. This map in particular has a very large unknown section of the Northwestern portion of the United States. It also has some very curious geography once you get above Labrador. So it's not but it fills in those spaces that aren't known with a lot of text from descriptions, from journals and diaries of people who had been there so it kind of creates this cartographic fantasy but it is surrounded by a scientific reality. Ian, we're now up to 1895 and this is a very different kind of map that we're looking at now. Yes, this is from the Hall House Papers. This is by Agnes Sinclair Holbrook 1895. This is the first cartographic representation used in the social sciences in North America. These maps and the accompanying surveys and charts that were produced in the book by the Hall House in the Near East Side of Chicago was intended to show scientifically and visually the impact that having tenements full of newly arrived immigrants, poor people and people who were working 24 hours instead of going to school or engaged in other social activities influenced not only those people's health but also the health of the city. And what kind of impact did these maps have on the social perceptions and the economics of the town? They actually had far-reaching implications outside of Chicago as well. These were primarily responsible as a fundamental portion of passing the acts against child workers and also was the first step in an institutional knowledge of how confining people into tenements actually negatively impacted not only those people but also the fabric of society. Many people think of maps, they change perceptions of people, they change their view of the world geographically but these kind of maps really change people's perceptions of the world sociologically and everything else, is that right? That is correct. Not only sociologically as far as the academics go but as you can see from the maps here, the bright colors, the easy legends combined with the scientific knowledge and the narrative that's in the book they provided a comprehensive picture based on the cartography that changed not only people's minds about what immigrants were, what identities were about child labor laws but also about what that meant for them, their families and those that might not be immediately affected and caused a broader nationwide knowledge and concern about these issues. You're standing in front of a large map of the Indian Ocean but it's not the map that you could see if you're looking down at the ocean. What is it? In 1964 that was created by Marie Tharp and Bruce Heeson. This is a physiographic diagram of the Indian Ocean. So what you see behind me here is the actual ocean floor. This was from a series of researches and charts that were made by Marie Tharp and Bruce Heeson which is the first scientific mapping of the entire ocean floor. Those maps were extremely important in the scientific community. They are what proved the theory of tectonics was not just a theory but was actual fact and elevated Marie's role and the role of women not just as researchers but also as scientists that should be taken seriously. And where did the information for this map come from? The information was largely conducted by Bruce Heeson. At that point in time women were not allowed on research vessels and submarines so Marie Tharp even though she was a well regarded geologist was relegated to data collection, crunching the numbers afterwards and creating the maps. There was another, a couple of other places that they got earthquake data and things like that but primarily it was through observation. Now this is a very large map and it's quite detailed. How long would a map like this take to make? It took them a number of, I think about 15 to 25 years to complete making everything after the initial surveys were started. Obviously this is just the Indian Ocean so there's also a few more of these maps and they're all pretty large and very very detailed. Ian we're at the end of our tour here and we're in the 21st century with the computers and map making. Tell us about this part of the exhibit. This part of the exhibit highlights the expanding role that women have in GIS or geographical information systems. This highlights the work of two women, Ann Kelly Knowles and Claire Kedowski. And at this point in time we've moved from the beginning of the exhibit where women are hiding behind their initials due to social constraints and economic realities and kind of working in the shadows but still being very important to having women out front and being a majority of a field. And so here we've moved away from kind of that hiddenness and more to an out front groundbreaking kind of force. And what are some of the examples of that in this computer display? Ann Kelly Knowles work that's displayed here is referencing the Battle of Gettysburg and doing a GIS rendering of the terrain of that area and seeing if it played any role in the decisions that were made in the battles. Claire Kedowski who is a graduate of the main university system works for Kappa mapping here in Maine and it has a variety of her work using both LiDAR and GIS to show what's possible throughout the field. So even 150 years later after the Battle of Gettysburg there's still information to be gleaned using mapping. One of the great things that GIS has done is we've been able to combine it with historic maps and a number of people are doing this around the world and the information that you can get from combining the early cartographic items with a 99.9% accurate scientific result is very eye-opening in very, very many ways. You can use them to compare the accuracy of coastlines or boundaries and then indeed to look beyond what the eye can see and analyze it from a more scientific background. And tell us about the exhibit. How long is it here for? The exhibit is until October 24th and we are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and then on Saturday.


IMPARTATION has the power to accelerate your spiritual growth and to help lay a foundation for the future of your ministry and walk with the Lord. IMPARTATION is the spiritual transfer that takes place through relationship. When I open myself to the teachings of, or relationship with, an anointed individual, I become a recipient of IMPARTATION. A portion of what's on their life begins to rub off on mine. So here are the three kinds of biblical IMPARTATION. Number one, given IMPARTATION. Number two, shared IMPARTATION. And number three, received IMPARTATION. Given IMPARTATION is when I reach down. Shared IMPARTATION is when I reach across. Received IMPARTATION is when I reach up. Given IMPARTATION takes place when I act as a mentor. Shared IMPARTATION takes place when I act as a fellow laborer. Received IMPARTATION takes place when I act as a student. Number one, give an impartation. You may think yourself too spiritually undeveloped to teach anybody anything about the Lord or spiritual truths, but this is simply not the case. For example, let's take the new convert. The new convert typically knows little to nothing about what the Bible says about various truths and life applications. However, even the new convert can share their testimony. And in sharing their testimony with a non-believer, the new convert is sharing the gospel. And in sharing the gospel, the new convert is evangelizing. Matthew chapter 28 verses 19 through 20 say, Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you, and be sure of this I am with you always even to the end of the age. So evangelism, fundamentally speaking, is a form of impartation. So no matter where you are in your spiritual growth, there's something you can impart to someone who is coming along the path after you. Number two, shared impartation. The scripture tells us in Proverbs chapter 27 verse 17 that iron sharpens iron. It also tells us that bad company corrupts good character in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse number 33. Impartation doesn't just take place between a mentor and a disciple. It can occur between two spiritual peers.  Number three, received impartation. Now it's important to note that all power comes from the Holy Spirit within you, and that power works in you in proportion to your time spent in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The more time you spend in the presence of the Holy Spirit, the greater the manifestation of power on your life. But God has given to us gifts in the form of anointed individuals also. For example, this is what the word says in Ephesians chapter 4. Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church. The apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ. While receiving from anointed men and women of God, it's important to keep this in mind. There is a big difference between impartation and imitation. You're not the next anyone. You're the first you. In fact, impartation makes you a unique expression of God's power. As I gleam from various servants of the Lord, I become a unique and uncommon blend of the anointing. Impartation doesn't just help to make you unique. It accelerates your spiritual growth as you learn by the Spirit from those with decades of experience. Growth from impartation should be a reality experienced by every single believer.

Hey guys Brian here here for free saloneducation.com bringing you our product review on the new product OlaFlex new to us anyway, it's been around a little bit and I was excited because I was hearing about it I was reading about it and as a colorist I got really excited by the claims that were made So I really wanted to get my hands on it and give it a try and see what I thought about it So we got it in the salon last week as you can tell obviously we started playing with it immediately Which is why I'm so blonde now and a little bit of an explanation about what OlaFlex is for you guys It is a bond multiplier and bond perfecter what that means is It's gonna go into your color of choice your lightener of choice And it's just gonna help make the hair better for all you hair nerds out there like me to give you a little bit of Science of why whenever you process hair with any sort of color or lightener you're gonna get more oxygen bonds Developing in the hair then naturally would be there anyway Which is what's going to lead to the hair getting a little bit dry brittle what we call damage in the hair So what OlaFlex is gonna do is it's gonna go in and replace some of those excess oxygen bonds with sulfur bonds Which are what are naturally in the hair to begin with what that's gonna result in is a fantastic finish to the hair That's going to allow you to process the hair a little more than you normally could yet somehow still end up having That hair feel better than before you started some of my My experiments with this I had a girl who needed an ombre done She had had some previous highlights and she had the hair had been a little bit roughed up So I mixed my lightener of choice. I used the the step one the bond multiplier Mixed that in did her ombre I was able to let it sit a little bit longer to make sure that I got that hair just a little bit blonder to really Get that crisp clean palette that we were looking for Afterwards you rinse it out you go in with your bond perfect or the step to let that sit five to ten minutes Depending on how much you think the hair needs it We washed it out and I got to tell you the the results were fantastic as we slid down her hair the The virgin hair that hadn't even been colored didn't even feel as good as the amazing blonde ends that we got to at the end so I gotta say I I Might have been a little skeptical because there were some huge claims made by this product before I got it in my hands But now that I've played with it. It really is absolutely fantastic. So that's my review Thank you guys if you have any questions or anything you can let us know on the video check us out at free salon education calm Thank you very much


It's 8.40 in the morning and I'm about to start my Anki review, so this morning I'm going to review Chinese, German, and what was it, Marvel language? Oh, Esperanto! I almost forgot about the most important one. So I've got to review those, but last night I was thinking about how I want to push my Chinese to the next level, because I do enjoy the way I'm doing it at the moment, but I'm always thinking about how can I improve the way I do things. And one thing I was thinking was potentially doing a HSK test. Now I'm assuming I'm somewhere around the level of HSK 3, maybe a little bit above, maybe below, I don't know, but potentially I could set myself up with doing a HSK test 3, finding out what I need to learn for that test, and go and doing that, and that could be a good way of just tracking progression, but at the same time I'm also kind of like, I don't like doing tests overall. In fact, if you look at my Esperanto studies, I've never taken an Esperanto test, and there was like a few years ago there was this big thing about, I think it was the European framework where they opened up to Esperanto and everyone was like, hey, if you speak Esperanto, go take the test to bump up the numbers of Esperanto speakers, etc. And people kept asking me to go do it, but I didn't want to do it because I just don't like doing tests in general. And I feel like if I go do it, I'm somehow going to fail it. I'm like, I'm going to overanalyze every single question on the test, and I'm going to answer incorrectly.  So I just never did it. And that may sound a bit weird, but yeah, that's the truth of the matter. But at the same time, no one in the Chinese speaking community knows about me. So if I fail at a Chinese test, miserably, it doesn't really matter. Like, it's a different thing to fail at for me. But yeah, that's what I was thinking about. But first up, I'll probably do some research into that today. But I got to get these Anki decks out of the way. Oh, and one last thing. So one of you guys commented, I've actually got the comment in here. Oh, it's such a long username user GM to IY blah, blah, blah. They said like, they like doing Anki, but they end up getting like hundreds and hundreds of cards. And then it just becomes too much. I totally know what you're talking about. So with Anki in my Chinese deck, I've actually like, I've got 150 new cards that have created. So I'm like way ahead of schedule. I'm creating 30 to 40 cards a day. And most days I do like 30 review, like 30 new reviews. And then maybe if like, I'm feeling good that day, I'll check an extra 40 in there. But I've somehow ended up being like way ahead in card creation versus card absorption. And I've actually set my cap at 50 reviews of like current cards per day, which means I've actually got a massive backlog of reviews. But that doesn't bother me. Because the way I've set up my cards and I built my system around, especially recently around the whole AI revolution and making like the sound files and all that type of stuff, I actually kind of like I said, already know the words quite well by the time they go into the deck. Because I know a lot of people when they use Anki, they just like make a bunch of cards, but they don't prior study that stuff before it actually gets into the Anki. And then they rely on Anki to actually learn it. I could never do that. Like I tried, that's why I can't download decks. Because if I download a deck, I didn't create those decks. I have no prior absorption of those cards. And to me, it's just like, it's totally overwhelming. So I always suggest like if you're creating a card, you're putting it in your deck, make sure that before that card ends up in your deck, you've already like practiced it a good six times. And I don't just mean practice it as and say the same thing over and over six times on the spot.  Like yesterday in my video where I looked up the differences between two words visually. And then I created a bunch of sentences to wrap around it. And so basically I actually ended up with six cards about the one particular word that include words that I previously studied. So whether I've got cards in my backlog a lot or not really doesn't matter. They're just there because maybe six months down the line, I need like a hint type of thing. And the card creation process, it's all, it's, it's actually almost kind of pointless, but it forces me to go through a process of learn a word, wrap that word in related sentences, create audio, listen to the audio, then create speaking like cards, practice those speaking cards. And then I put that all into Anki and then the Anki things just like an extra additional stuff. So I say Anki is, it's meant to be just like the holder of knowledge that you've already acquired in a way. Okay, so let's start this review. So I've got, as you can see, I've got quite a bit of Chinese to do. And then also Esperanto added in 15 extra Esperanto words yesterday. One last thing I want to mention is this is something that always hits me when I get like a lot of cards to review. I'll look at this and I'll be like, I really don't want to do like 80 plus because it's not really 80. It's like 50 review than 30 new, which is like 60 cards.  So it's like 140 cards just in my Chinese deck. And it's like, I really don't want to do it. And that happens sometimes.  So say to your brain, you know what, I'm only going to do five cards. So I'm just going to start to five cards and I'm tapping out I'm moving on. But what actually ends up happening is once you start your five cards, you then you get into the flow and your brain is like, you know what, we're here, let's just do this. And then you just go through the whole lot. So I'm going to quickly smash these out. Let's start with the, uh, Esperanto. So, whale ballendo. Passes 100 years. Depost Esperanto. Encontrucigis en chinio. So here I was practicing the accusative on China. Yep. Mi suruprizigis trovanta che ili malemis informigi peri miai excursoi. Excursoi. Excursoi. Excursoi. I, excuseoi. I don't know why I put an R in there. I guess I'm making that as wrong. Passes 100 years. Depost Esperanto. Encontrucigis en chinio. So again, I'm just going to go through this whole Esperanto deck. If I find anything interesting, I'll let you guys know. Okay. Easy one out of the way. That was the Esperanto. So now I'm going to do the Chinese speaking. According to this, I have about 100 postcards to review. So let's quickly go. So we've got, the first one is the bald man is sitting next to the river. So tuutou de nanren zuo zai hebian. Tuutou de nanren zuo zai hebian. Yep, cool. The container is gray. The light is far away from me. The man is holding his hat. Gotta be careful. I have this tendency in Esperanto also to get like halfway through a sentence where in like certain languages that actually is a word. Anyway, again, I'm just going to smash through these. Okay. So work is starting in about five minutes. So I'm just going to quickly fire up some food while I continue this study. Okay. So I'm going to grab some food out of the fridge. So let's do this. That dog is going away from me. Now, drugol liwa zokailo. Zol, yeah, is that one? Yeah, zokailo. Yeah, got it. Awesome. Okay. He's wearing jeans. Um, he's wearing jeans. It is daytime. Now it's daytime. Oh my god, my cat is here again. No, I'm not meeting you. Okay, so breakfast is ready. I've run out of time. I'm going to have to do the rest of this study during a break. Okay, so I've just finished my Chinese speaking. I now have remaining Chinese listen and German listen. What I'm thinking I'm going to do is I'm going to get the German listen out of the way. It's only 50 cards and I don't have too much of time in this break and I'm going to hit the Chinese listening probably at lunchtime and then I'll move straight into creating new cards because I always like to create new cards once I've reviewed everything. Now also in the last video in the comments, there was a little bit of discussion around Latin. See, you guys probably don't know this but a few years back, actually probably like six years back now, I actually spent a couple of months studying Latin from like this book where I forget the name of the book but I've still got the PDF. It's an amazing book. It basically uses a method similar to what I'm using now. However, I really want to find a text to speech system for Latin. Now, I know that sounds kind of crazy. Like why would you want to listen to Latin? Like Latin's not really a spoken language anymore. But I want to create my cards first as audio cards, get a passive understanding of Latin and then come back later and actually start like learning to speak Latin. Like the same as like how I'm doing with say German or Chinese type of thing. And for me, languages come alive when I can hear them spoken. And I know there's some good YouTubers who do Latin stuff because I've followed them and I've checked them out but I really want a text to speech system and I'm hoping one exists but I just couldn't find it. So if you guys know of one, please please drop it in the comments below because Latin will be the next language I'll be adding to my list at some stage in the future. Okay, so let's get this German out of the way, shall we? God, I gotta hear that again. So it's obviously the man something. I know it's like right there. Okay, no, don't. The man is being attacked. The man climbs on the cage. The hunter is standing next to the cage. Do something about it. There's a chair next to her bed. Everywhere is grass and rocks. It's in the kitchen. Brown eyes. 17. Why did I freeze on that? Okay, anyway, I'm gonna continue with this German and get this out of the way. Okay, so now we're down to the last big review of the day and that is Chinese. Listen, let's go.    So, he is an employee. He is a employee. Who is knocking at the door? Who is knocking at the door? I uploaded a video. I can't help him. I can't help her. So, I promised that I'd share some interesting things that I find along the way. So one of these things is in Chinese. So, you've got the word for tentacles, say of an octopus or a squid which is 铸 show or you could also say 铸 one anyway you've got this word and then you've got starfish now in English when we refer to the arms of the starfish we say the arms but in Chinese they say the tentacles of the starfish so when I discovered that I was like that's kind of cool I like it I guess they're not really arms either because they don't have fingers but like it was just kind of like left field random it it's just not something I would expect to be different okay sorry I'm on a roll right now here's another one okay so with crabs so crabs have claws in English um and the Chinese word well there's a few words again but one of the words is owl which is literally like the proper word for a claw primarily the big claw or whatever but then they've also got 铸 which translates as I guess claw but also tongs so they are the tongs you use in the kitchen which now that I know that every time I grab the tongs in the kitchen I'm like give me the claws 铸奶奶的健康现况如何 铸奶奶的健康现况如何 what is the state of your grandma's health 一些隔离是完全黑色的 um some clams are completely black 一些隔离完全是黑色的 一些隔离是完全黑色的 Can you describe what this fish looks like 你能描述一下这条鱼的外观吗 Done with the Chinese review that means all my Yankee reviews are now done except for like this random little bit about handwriting which is right here um I don't actually really learn how to write Chinese but I do learn how to write some characters simply so that I can identify them if they look very similar to another one okay so what's going to happen now is I've got to get back to work obviously um next time you see me will probably be lunch time when I will start adding some new Chinese cards to my deck it's lunch time which means it's sturdy turn okay so what we're going to do today is um we'll build a little bit on what we learned yesterday but also last night when I was like randomly walking along with the wife to the station um there's a couple of like things that I wanted to say that I just couldn't think of how to say them and one was like a super common like verb which is except so I don't know why I don't know that verb so I'm going to literally use that verb a lot today um and then before when I was with the cat in the kitchen I said why are you always wanting to buy me and I have this structure that I say a lot um like why something something always want stuff and I I believe I've been saying it right but I've never actually checked so I'm going to be doing that and also there is this okay bear with me for a second I'm going to find your picture of it mudskipper now mudskipper you probably have no idea what I'm talking about but it is this beautiful fish right here you see that guy this is called a mudskipper and it's a fish that can actually like hop across the land and into the mud and it's found in causeways and stuff and the reason I'm randomly bringing this up is because I was trying to tell a story to my father-in-law and it was about when I was a kid and I'd chase mudskippers and by God I did not know how to describe this animal so I'm going to learn its name okay so let's start with uh let's figure out if chap GPT even knows how to say mudskipper in Chinese and I am going to like take whatever it says with the like the largest grain of salt and I'm going to go look at what it suggests so I'm going to say hey how do I say a mudskipper as in the fish that can jump across mud um with its measure word I'm assuming its measure word is just tell like every other fish but we'll find out in a sec so it says so it says I am going to take whatever it says with the biggest grain of salt so this is what it's suggesting it's saying jure is like a like a small little creature or something like that or also it's using other context but need tell you so that's mud uh jump fish makes sense but that might be just a direct translation made by chap GPT so let's let's go like check this stuff yeah so I'm just going to go straight to images okay well um I'm seeing pictures that is the most epic picture ever oh my god okay this like mudskippers like singing okay uh so that looks like it's actually a thing let's let's just double check again this time we're going to go to wikipedia uh so we've got wikipedia here let's open this up yeah that's it that is it what's this here say though uh I'm just going to grab this I'm going to say can you break this down into its its parts so it says tongue tool you refers to mudskippers a type of fish know for their ability okay so hmm this is one of those hard ones because it's a pretty obscure word and like these types of things they can make mistakes I might text my wife so I've just sent this message to my wife now for those who don't know my wife is a chinese speaker but she hates teaching which is why I actually use AI to learn she's going to receive this and be like what is he why is he talking about mudskippers anyway um I actually burnt a good eight minutes just on this one topic now I'm going to focus on actual words that are going to be useful in like 99% of my chinese life but you know you've got to have fun you can't just be like well this is the 1000 most common word so I'm just going to learn this now you got to make it fun because otherwise you go insane there's too many words okay so I'm going to scrap this for now worry about mudskippers when I get a reply from the wife okay guys life responded she said I don't even know what that animal is why are you learning such useless words you learned something useful you idiot okay I'm gonna learn the word for platypus instead so mundane so everyday animal we finally cracked it boys so uh after much persistence my wife finally cracked and she told me that the word is etel tell tell you which means uh jump jump fish so I searched online and yeah that seems to be a common word for it so she did know she just didn't want to teach me anyway I'm about 30 cards created well 30 like of the cards I intend to create in however I'm only introduced like six new words so I've got to probably make more today to introduce more words because I like to aim for about eight new words so I've created the list of sentences which I'll now turn into audio cards in total there's 42 however I'm only actually introducing six new words which is not really that many it's less than normal but I am introducing a few new grammatical structures one grammatical structure is like both a and b so to do that in Chinese it's like d a yo b so that's like a structure I want to practice quite a bit and I've also got some words that I wanted to practice a little bit more in here this one's a little bit more scattered today because I just wanted to have some fun with it so I'm going to quickly pump out the audio cards and then the next time you guys will see me will probably be after work after the gym because I've got a gym tonight and then I'm going to do the German cards then hey guys so it's a 8 o 7 p.m. at night right now I've finished at the gym I've just had a shower and as you can see on this other screen over here I've actually started just already putting this video together I'm just going to put something else up on there because it's going to be weird just look at myself there you go I'm going to put some code there so we're going to focus on German and what I'm thinking of doing based on my German reviews is I want to review the the who what where why those types of words are a lot more and create a lot more senses around them because they're just they're similar to English but they're similar in the wrong ways so they're like they create a lot of false friends just there so first up I'm just going to close that mirror as well okay I feel a lot better about that I don't like people seeing inside my cupboard okay so also I got this book while I was over in uh China I went to the Esperanto Museum over there it's called the Concisa Historia della China Esperanto Movado it's the concise history of the Chinese Esperanto movement I wanted to show you this because in a video coming up I plan to actually show you guys how I study at a much high level in Esperanto because someone actually asked about that in the comments today for my previous video so just letting you know that's going to come but it's not going to come in this video right now so we're going to do German well you know what we're going to do we're going to open up our good old notepad like we do notepad is the most powerful tool in existence and I'm going to open up a new chat with chat gbt I guess I should probably rotate this camera so you can see my screen hey yeah that'd be smart there we go look at that and maybe hide those drinks so I don't look like some type of weird alcoholic okay so I want to do some of the who I wear when what words so first up I don't know the word for like um brother and sister in German fully enough so I'm just going to say uh how do you say uh the brother the reason uh in German the reason I always say the in front of nouns is because I want to learn uh the dir das you know those actual articles along with the word itself so it just says der Buddha I guess that's how it's pronounced my pronunciation in German is shocking at the moment so the brother and we're going to do the same thing for how how do you say the sister it's actually quite interesting that I haven't learned these like really basic words when I know other things like you know lawyer and even nurse and plumber and words like that because for some reason at those moments I wanted to learn those words but right now I'm just like hey you know what I want to learn these words so we're gonna just start making our list and going through this and you guys get the idea about how this pretty much works so I'm going to disappear for a bit build out my deck and you'll see me in a bit okay guys so I've just created a I think it's actually I wrote down how much it is I've created 39 new sentences for German and I've got a total of nine new words I didn't do anything fancy today I just kind of stuck with like basic stuff that I should know but I haven't learned so like family relations and you know general introductions and stuff like that stuff I should realistically know like long ago but I just I always jump into crazy stuff learning about things that I've really not needed at that stage in my in my journey I guess but yeah today I just felt like just doing the normal stuff which is cool because I need it so I'm going to make the audio cards now and then we'll wrap up with one last spiel on something so I've just finished with my German study and German is such a perplexing language mainly because I'm mainly because of the pronouns at the moment so you've got the pronoun z which means she oh my god and the pronoun yeah which means he and that's in like in the subject position but then when it goes what's going on I've now got the I got the cat now coming at me okay guys I'm gonna have to cut this video short I've got cats I've got food I've got I'll talk to you guys tomorrow


We get to this third density, this human density. Now, this is very highly sought after, obviously, because you become self-aware.  You become aware that you have choice, that you have will. That when you're exposed to the choice of, do I serve myself or do I serve other people? Which we'll talk about as STS, service to self versus STO, service to others. You have will, you have choice, you have polarity, right? So self-awareness and polarity. This is typically what's also called the third density or 3D matrix. So when people talk about the matrix, they're referencing something of course that's also used in mathematics, but they're talking about it in a sense of the government, in terms of the economic machinery, in terms of politicians, in terms of propaganda, in terms of all of the main media companies, in terms of all of the fast food and high fructose corn syrup, and all of the endarkenment and a sleeping mechanisms that keep people like algorithmic sheep, rather than liberated, sovereign, gnostic beings that know their true infinite nature. And that's really what is core here when you go from the third to the fourth density, is it's typically what is called, in many ways, the first stage of enlightenment, which is when you recognize that I am not a contracted, finite, separate energy, egoic. I'm not that. And you sort of relax and expand yourself into a more cosmic consciousness. You begin recognizing a little bit more subtly that, okay, well, we all come from the same source. We all come from that same big bang, and our awareness then is also shared like our sources, and I become more subtly aware of awareness itself. And I recognize that the observer, the witness is paramount. It's salient. It's critical. Just like I reference in my dream at night that I have, I can't actually simulate out that dream and have that experience without an observer, without a witness, without awareness. So there is awareness simulated and the reality for awareness to experience. So look at your direct experience at night when you simulate out the dreams and recognize the poignancy, the paramountness of the observer of the witness of awareness itself, and then take that here away from that dream into your awake state and recognize that same paramountness. Okay.  That's why the first part is called neti neti, not this, not that you negate being this costume, you negate being even awareness, so that you can recognize yourself as the creator, you can recognize pierced availess avail the gateless gate to that as your true nature. And then step one is that neti neti step two is the inclusion. So in step two, you include yourself as the creator, as the impersonal eternal awareness and as the unique cool firework gift costume. So the ascension from third to fourth includes that moving away from person into moving more and more towards the cosmic consciousness and it is really critical here. You move away from service to self dynamics where you want to self deal to yourself. You're trying to extract peace and happiness from Maya from the illusion from substances and experiences and other people to now you recognize that your nature is happiness and peace. Awareness is nature is that the creator's nature is that so you're no longer trying to extract it from Maya, rather you become in service because you recognize the quote other is actually the self is the creator. So that way you become in service to others or STO instead of STS. So that's really the core of where we're at right now. So cosmically speaking, we are. So again, this was Do Re Mi we're in the Mi Ta Fa. And in that Mi Ta Fa, we have to remember that there's a polarity there, there's no sharp. And so the polarity is the service to self versus the service to other. And so the quote 3.5 is where a lot of people are currently feeling right now. Our role as people that care a lot about service to others that care a lot about love, awakening to the fourth density of love, which again, these are the chakras as well, that this fourth chakra is the heart chakra. And when you open the heart chakra, that's when you get love, you get cosmic consciousness, you get the recognition that we share our being, which is what the definition of love is. So this is so mission critical. When we talk about things like global enlightenment, or when we talk about the planetary awakening. We're talking about shifting people from human third density service to self to fourth density love service to others. Expanding them from person to more of a shepherding of consciousness.
