mask it or cope with it. Okay, my name is Sam Vaknin. I'm a visiting professor of psychology in Southern Federal University or Stovon Don in Russia. And I'm a professor of finance and a professor of psychology in the outreach program of CIAPS, Center for International Advanced and Professional Studies. This self-promoting presentation aside, we can get to the point. And the point is narcissism and depression. This is what my presentation is about. The pandemic gave rise to narcissistic defenses and to mood disorders at the same time. And that is a very bad combination. People react with narcissistic defenses when they feel helpless, when they feel hopeless. They compensate for it by considering themselves and trying to convince others that they are Godlike. This is grandiosity. It's a grandiosity defense. And it distorts the perception of reality. It impairs reality testing. So people in this pandemic feel like playthings, like toys. They are attacked simultaneously by a faceless, impersonal force of nature, the virus, and by their own appointed authorities as they see it. So they feel squeezed and some of them react with narcissistic defenses. They become more grandiose, more defined. They lose impulse control. They become contumacious. They begin to hate authority. And all these are narcissistic, psychopathic traits and behaviors. At the same time, many develop mood disorders, mainly, mainly depression. Now, of course, depression is a whole family. It's not a single disorder. There's major depressive disorder, the cyclothermia, there is thisemia, and even experienced clinicians tend to confuse these disorders and conflict them, which doesn't help, I must say. We keep getting wrong diagnosis for people. Some people have a background of cyclothermia and dysthymia long before the pandemic. And this background is just exacerbated by the pandemic. And yet they are diagnosed with major depressive episode and are treated accordingly, which is wrong. Actually, medication in such a case can exacerbate the depressive symptoms. So there's a god-awful confusion in the profession, not only among patients, but in the profession itself. And I would like to start by one such confusion. Bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder long before the pandemic has been often misdiagnosed and confused with borderline personality disorder. Recently, as narcissism becomes a keyword and a buzzword, bipolar disorder is misdiagnosed and confused with narcissistic personality disorder. The manic phase indeed has some resemblances to narcissistic defenses and a narcissistic disorder. Bipolar patients in the manic phase exhibit many of the signs and symptoms of pathologic and narcissism. Hyperactivity, self-centeredness, lack of empathy, control freakery. During this recurring chapter of the disease, the patient is euphoric. As grandiose fantasies, spins unrealistic schemes and has frequent rage attacks is irritable. If the wishes and plans of the bipolar patient are not met, if they are frustrated, they react with aggression. The manic phase of bipolar disorder, however, the manic phase is limited in time. Narcissistic personality disorder is not limited in time. Of course, it's a lifelong condition. Mania is followed by usually-protected depressive episodes in bipolar. So bipolar used to be called mania depression because there was a manic phase and then a depressive phase. The narcissist is also frequently dysphoric. That part is true. But whereas the bipolar sinks into deep self-deprecation, self-evaluation, unbounded pessimism, all-pervasive guilt, and hedonia. These are typical manifestations of the depressive phase of bipolar. The narcissist, even when he is depressed, never forgoes his narcissism, his grandiosity, his sense of entitlement, his haughtiness, his lack of empathy, and his alloplastic defenses, his tendency to blame others for his condition. Narcissistic dysphoria are much shorter than bipolar. They are reactive. They constitute a response to the gap between reality and inflated self-image, what I call the grandiosity gap. In plain words, the narcissist is dejected and despondent when confronted with the abyss, between his inflated self-image and grandiose fantasies, and the drab reality of his life. The narcissist's failures, lack of accomplishments, disintegrating interpersonal relationships, low status, they all grate on the narcissist and they create dysphoria. Yet a single dose of attention, a single dose of adulation and admiration, narcissistic supply, a single dose is enough to elevate the narcissist from the depth of misery to the heights of money-cubphoria. This does not happen in bipolar. Bipolar is not a reaction to anything external, it's entogenous, not exogenous. The psychogenesis has an internal etiology. The source of the mood swings of the bipolar is assumed to be brain biochemistry, we don't know enough. The bipolar is impervious to the availability of narcissistic supply, attention, adulation, admiration. Whereas the narcissist is in full control of his faculties, even when he is maximally agitated, the bipolar often feels that he or she has lost control over his or her brain, a flight of ideas as it's called. The bipolar doesn't control her speech, bipolar doesn't control his attention span, destructibility. And the bipolar very often loses control of motor functions even, can resemble a catatonic phase. The bipolar is prone to reckless behaviors and to substance abuse, only during the manic phase. The narcissist does drugs, drinks, gambles, shops on credit, indulges in unsafe sex, reckless and compulsive behaviors, both when he is elated and when he is deflated, is also very often an addict. As a rule, the bipolar's manic phase interferes with his or her social and occupational functioning. Many narcissists in contrast, reach the highest ranks of their community, church, firm or voluntary organization, they are the pillars of the community. Most of the time, narcissists function flawlessly, though the inevitable glow-ups and the grating extortion of narcissistic supply, usually put an end to the narcissist's career and social liaison sooner or later. But until such time, the narcissist is high-functioning, not so the bipolar. The manic phase of bipolar sometimes requires hospitalization and more frequently than admitted involves psychotic features. Narcissists are never hospitalized, as the risk of self-harm is very minimal. Moreover, psychotic micro-episodes in narcissism are decompensatory in nature. They appear only under unendurable stress, such as modification or intensive therapy. The bipolar's mania, the mania of the bipolar of bipolar disorder, the manic phase, provokes discomfort in both strangers and in the patients nearest and dearest. The constant cheer, the compulsive insistence on interpersonal, sexual, and occupational or professional interactions, all these engender unease in people, repulsion, revulsion. The liability of mood, rapid shifts between uncontrollable rage and unnatural good spirits is downright intimidating and a bit alien. The narcissist's gregariousness by comparison, his sociability, is calculated. It's cold, it's controlled, it's goal-oriented, it's intended to extract narcissistic supply, attention from other people. The cycles of mood and effect in the narcissist are far less pronounced and they're definitely less rapid. There's less rapid cycling. The bipolar's swollen self-esteem, overstated self-confidence, obvious grandiosity and delusional fantasies are similar to the narcissist and they are the source of the diagnostic confusion. Both types of patients purport to give advice, carry out an assignment, accomplish a mission or embark on an enterprise for which they are uniquely unqualified. They lack the talents, the skills, the knowledge, the experience, the expertise required, but they still go for it. Fake it till you make it. But the bipolar's bombast is far more delusional than the narcissist's. Ideas of reference and magical thinking are common in both. And in this sense, the bipolar is closer to the schizotypal than to the narcissist. There are other differentiating symptoms. Sleep disorders, notably acute insomnia, are common in the manic phase of bipolar and uncommon in narcissism. Manic speech, pressured, uninterruptible, loud, rapid, dramatic, including singing, humorous asides and so on. This manic speech sometimes is incomprehensible, incoherent, chaotic, and it could last for hours. It reflects the bipolar's inner chaos, inner turmoil, and his or her inability to control the racing and kaleidoscopic thoughts. As opposed to narcissists, bipolar in the manic phase are often distracted by the slightest stimuli. They are unable to focus on relevant data. They resemble ADHD, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder. They are unable to maintain the thread of conversation. They're all over the place, simultaneously initiating numerous business ventures, joining myriad organizations, writing up-tenth letters, contacting hundreds of friends and perfect strangers, acting in a domineering, demanding, and intrusive manner, totally disregarding the needs and emotions of the unfortunate recipients of their unwanted attentions. They rarely follow up on their projects. It's none of this. None of this characterizes the narcissists. The transformation of a bipolar is so marked, so obvious and discernible, that he is often described by his closest as not himself or not herself. Indeed, sub-bipolars relocate, change name, change appearance, lose contact with their former life. It's a bit like fugue, like dissociative fugue. Anti-social or even criminal behavior is not uncommon in bipolar, and aggression is marked, directed at both others, assault, and at oneself, suicide. Sub-bipolars describe an acuteness of the senses akin to experiences recounted by drug users. Smells, sounds, sights are accentuated, amplified. They attain an unearthly quality. None of this happens in narcissism. As opposed to narcissists, bipolar's regret their misdeeds following the manic phase. They feel guilty, they feel ashamed, they try to atone for their actions. They realize and accept that something is wrong with them. They seek help. The narcissist does none of these things. During the depressive phase, the bipolar is ego-dystonic. Is ego-dystonic, he feels bad with himself. He's uncomfortable, and he has autoplastic defenses. He blames himself for his defeats, failures, and mishaps, exactly the opposite of narcissism. And finally, pathological narcissism is already discernible in early adolescence. The full-fledged bipolar patient, including the manic phase, rarely occurs before the age of 20. The narcissist is consistent in his pathology. The bipolar is not. The onset of the manic phase is fast, furious, and results in conspicuous metamorphosis of the patient. Many scholars consider pathological narcissism to be a form of depressive illness. This is the position of the authoritative magazine Psychology Today. The life of the typical narcissist is indeed punctuated with recurring bouts of dysphoria, ubiquitous sadness, and hopelessness. Unhedonia, loss of the ability to feel pleasure, and clinical forms of depression, cyclothermic, dystemic, or other. The picture is further obfuscated by the frequent presence of mood disorders, such as comorbidity with bipolar disorder. So it's very, very difficult to tell apart. You really need to be a good clinician with a huge amount of experience to tell narcissism apart from certain mood disorders. While the distinction between reactive, exogenous, and endogenous depression is obsolete, we don't make this distinction anymore. It is still, in my view, very useful in the context of narcissism, and it should be resurrected to be revived. Because narcissists react with depression, not only to life crises, but to fluctuations in narcissistic supply and to a circumstantial inability to express their dominant psychosexual type, cerebral somatic sadistic. The narcissist personality is disorganized. It's precariously balanced, very similar to the borderline. The narcissist regulates his sense of self-worth by consuming attention narcissistic supply from other people. Any threat to the uninterrupted flow of narcissistic supply compromises the narcissist's psychological integrity and his ability to function. It is perceived by the narcissist as life-threatening. Indeed, depression itself can be conceptualized as a reaction to the systemic failure of hitherto trustworthy and efficacious coping strategies. When coping strategies that you have developed all your life are not working anymore, one of the typical reactions is depression. And this is owing to some seismic change in circumstances or the environment or because of overwhelming new information. Now, narcissists experience four types of dysphoria, four types of depression in a way. One, loss-induced dysphoria. This is the narcissist's depressive reaction to the loss of one or more sources of narcissistic supply or to the disintegration of a pathological narcissistic space. Let me explain. Narcissistic supply is attention. Any type of attention, by the way, positive or negative. Narcissistic supply comes from people. These people who provide the supply, they are the sources of narcissistic supply. And they provide the supply within something called pathological narcissistic space. This is the narcissist's stalking or hunting grounds. The social unit whose members lavish the narcissist with attention. So when the narcissist loses his sources of supply, when for some reason he cannot access his pathological narcissistic space or he loses it, he reacts with depression. And this is loss-induced dysphoria. Another type of dysphoria, number two, is deficiency-induced dysphoria. This is a deep and acute depression, which follows the aforementioned losses of narcissistic sources and this narcissistic space. Having mourned, having grieved over these losses, having processed them, the narcissist now grieves the inevitable outcome, the absence or deficiency of narcissistic supply. Paradoxically, the deficiency-induced dysphoria energizes the narcissist, pushes him, moves him to find new sources of supply to replenish the dilapidated stalk. The narcissist, this dysphoria is the first stage in what I call the narcissistic cycle. The narcissist loses his sources, he has no supply, and so he is energized to find new sources and new supply, and this new cycle begins. The third type is the self-worth dysregulation dysphoria. The narcissist reacts with depression, to criticism, to disagreement, to mockery, to derision, to ostracism, to being shunned, especially from a trusted and long-term source of narcissistic supply. It could lead him even to narcissistic modification. Narcissistic modification is an extreme form of decompensation where all the narcissistic defenses and coping strategies are simultaneously inactivated and the narcissist is totally exposed, skinless, like a turtle without the shell, and this is a life-threatening condition. The narcissist fears the imminent loss of the source and the damage to his own fragile mental balance. The narcissist also resents his own vulnerability and his extreme dependence on feedback from other people. And this type of depressive reaction is therefore a mutation of self-directed aggression. And then there is the grandiosity gap dysphoria. The narcissist firmly, though counterfactually, perceives himself as omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, brilliant, accomplished, perfect, irresistible, immune, and invincible. In short, the narcissist's self-perception is that he is God. He is of the attributes of God. Any data to the contrary, any information to the contrary, anything that challenges his grandiose self-image, any of these attributes, is filtered out, altered, discarded altogether, this is called confirmation bias. And still, despite all these efforts, to deny, to suppress, to repress, to eliminate, to delete, to vitiate, challenging information, sometimes reality intrudes, and it creates a grandiosity gap, a gap between the narcissist's inflated grandiose self-image and reality, which is not so grandiose. The narcissist is forced to face his mortality, his failures, his defeats, his limitations, his ignorance, in short, actually, his relative inferiority, because the narcissist is a cripple, is a cripple, is an invalid, in many ways. The narcissist then confronted with his incontrovertible evidence of his own deficiency, his own inadequacy, his sulks, his sinks into an incapacitating, but short-lived dysphoria. There's another form of dysphoria that's the self-punishing dysphoria, number five out of four. Deep inside, the narcissist hates himself, loathes himself, doubts his own worth. He deplores his desperate addiction to narcissistic supply, and to the people who provide him with self-supply. He feels that he's inadequate. He judges his actions and intentions harshly, sadistically. There's an inner sadistic inner critic, what Freud used to call superego. The narcissist may be unaware of these dynamics, but they are at the heart of the narcissistic disorder. And the reason the narcissist has to resort to narcissism is a compensatory defense mechanism in the first place. It is because the narcissist feels inferior that he feigns superiority. It's compensatory. Now, some narcissists are not aware of this, and they are the overt, classic narcissists. They are egocintonic. Egocintonic, I'm sorry. They're happy with themselves. They're comfortable with themselves. And other narcissists are compensatory, and they get in touch from time to time with this nucleus or kernel of failure. The inexhaustible will of ill will, self-chastisement, self-doubt, self-directed aggression, these ill numerous, self-defeating, self-trashing, self-destructive behaviors. So narcissists engage in reckless driving, substance abuse, unsafe sex. They have suicidal ideation, constant background depression, dystemia. It is the narcissist's ability to confabulate, to lie to himself, to self-deceive that saves him from himself. His grandiose fantasies remove the narcissists from reality, impair his reality testing as a defense mechanism, as an adaptive strategy. This prevents recurrent narcissistic injuries and modifications. So many narcissists end up being delusional, schizoid, paranoid. To avoid agonizing and knowing depression, they give up on life itself. They develop something we call a constricted life. One therapeutic technique would be anchoring, reorienting the narcissist towards self-supply, anchoring the narcissist, anchored like in a ship. Rather than resort to fickle and ephemeral external sources of narcissistic supply, the narcissist is taught and encouraged to resort to himself for narcissistic supply, to look forward with excited anticipation to the structured pursuit of hobbies, vocation, traits, skills, and reward eliciting behaviors. Anchoring leverages the narcissist's grandiose solipsism and fantasies of godlike omnipotence and omniscience. The anchoring leverages these to render the narcissist emotionally self-sufficient. There is no necessary connection between these two clinical conditions, depressiveness and pathological narcissism. They may be comorbid, but there's no necessary connection. There is no proven high correlation between narcissistic personality disorder and any form of depression. We don't have studies corroborating this. Narcissism is ego congruent, ego incongruent, I'm sorry. Narcissism is a state of things where there's an inner fight between lacking ego and other structures, but this doesn't necessarily lead to depression. Depression is a form of aggression. Transformed, this aggression is directed to the depressed person rather than at his environment. This regime of repressed and mutated aggression is characteristic of both narcissism and depression. Indeed, narcissism is sometimes described as a form of low-intensity depression. Originally, the narcissist experiences forbidden thoughts, forbidden urges, sometimes to the point of an obsession like intrusive thoughts. His mind is full of dirty, prohibited words, curses, the remnants of magical thinking. If I wish or if I think something, it just might happen. There are denigrating and malicious cerebrations concerning authority figures, mostly parents, mostly teachers. Narcissism's mind is a vortex. These are all, all these things that are happening in the narcissist's mind are proscribed by his so-called inner critic. And this is doubly true if the individual possesses a sadistic, capricious super ego, a result of the wrong kind of parenting or a dead mother. These thoughts and wishes do not fully surface. The individual is only aware of them in passing and vaguely, but they are sufficient to provoke intense guilt feelings and to set in motion a chain of self-flagellation and self-punishment. What about anxiety? Anxiety is not, as some scholars have it, any rational reaction to internal dynamics involving imaginary threats. Actually, anxiety is more rational than many fears and phobias. The powers unleashed by the inner critic are so enormous. It's intentions, so fatal. The self-loathing and self-degradation that it brings with it, so intense, that the threat is real. The narcissist's worst enemy is himself. We have seen the enemy and it is us, like the comic, the famous comic strip. Anxiety disorders and depression, mood disorders, don't belong in the same diagnostic category, but they are very often comorbid. In many cases, the patient tries to exercise his depressive demons by adopting ever more bizarre rituals, these are compulsions, which by diverting energy and attention away from the bad content in more or less symbolic, ritualistic, arbitrary ways bring temporary relief and an easing of anxiety. It is very common to meet all four in clinical setting. A mood disorder, anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and personality disorder in one patient. Freud said that the depressive person has lost the love object, was deprived of a properly functioning parent. The psychic trauma suffered early on can be alleviated only by inflicting self-punishment in this way, implicitly penalizing and devaluing the internalized version of the disappointing love object. The development of the ego according to Freud and early psychoanalyst is conditioned upon a successful resolution of the loss of the love objects. That's a phase we all have to go through. We all lose mother when we separate from her and individuate, set boundaries and become individuals. When the love object fails the child, when the love object is dead in the sense that she is emotionally unavailable or narcissistic, the child is furious, revengeful, aggressive and unable to direct these negative emotions that the frustrating parent, the child directs these emotions at himself instead. Narcissistic identification means that the child prefers to love himself, direct libido at himself than to love an unpredictable, abandoning parent, mother in most cases. So the child becomes his own parent. He parentifies himself and he directs his aggression at himself and the parent that he had become. Throughout this wrenching process, the ego and the child feel helpless and that's another major source of depression, helplessness. When depressed, the patient becomes an artist of source.  There's a lot of catastrophizing going on. The depressive imbues everything with sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, anything, a tune, a sight, a color, another person, a situation, a memory. So depressive people are cognitively deficient, cognitively distorted. They interpret their experiences, they evaluate themselves and they assess the future totally negatively, they catastrophize. Depressive behaviors though constantly disenchanted, disillusioned and hurting the dysphoric effect. And this helps to sustain these distorted perceptions. No success, no accomplishment, no support can break through this cycle because it is so self-contained, so self-enhancing. Dysphoric effect supports distorted perceptions, distorted perceptions enhance dysphoria which encourages self-refeating behaviors which bring about failure and defeat which justifies the depression. That's a cozy, charmed little circle, emotionally protective and adaptive because it's unfailingly predictable. It's a comfort zone. Depression is addictive because it is a strong love substitute. Much like drugs, depression is its own rituals, its own language, its own worldview, it's an exoskeleton. It imposes rigid order and behavior patterns on the depressive. This is learned helplessness. The depressive prefers to avoid even situations which hold the promise of improvement in his harrowing condition. The depressive patient has been conditioned by repeated aversive stimuli to freeze in his tracks. He doesn't even possess the requisite energy to end his cruel predicament by committing suicide. The depressive is devoid of the positive reinforcements which are the building blocks of our self-esteem. The depressive is filled with negative thinking about his self, automatic thinking, his lack of goals, his lack of achievements, his emptiness, his loneliness and so on and so forth. And because his cognition and because his perceptions are so defective, so deformed, no cognitive or rational input can alter the situation. Everything is immediately refrained and reinterpreted to fit the depressive paradigm. People often mistake depression for emotion. They say, when they talk about the narcissist, they say, but he's sad or he's grieving what they need to say, he's human, he has emotions. But this is wrong. Depression is a big component in the narcissist's emotional makeup, but it mostly has to do with the absence of narcissistic supply. Mostly has to do with nostalgia for more plentiful days full of adoration and attention and applause. It mostly occurs after the narcissist has depleted his secondary sources of supply, his spouse, his mate, his girlfriend, his colleagues, his business partners, with his constant demands for the reenactment of his days of glory with the evocation of early childhood conflicts with his need, neediness, clinging and wish to parentify everyone around him. Some narcissists even cry, but they cry exclusively for themselves and for the lost paradise. They do not cry because they feel anything recognizable. They do so conspicuously, ostentatiously and publicly in order to attract attention. The narcissist is a human pendulum hanging by the thread of the void that is his false self. He swings from brutal and vicious abrasiveness to mellifluous, muddler and saccharine sentimentality. It is all a simulacrum, a very similitude, a facsimile. It can fool the casual observer and even many clinicians. It is enough to extract the narcissist's drug, other people's attention, the reflection that somehow sustains this house of cards. But the stronger and more rigid the defenses and nothing is more resilient than pathological narcissism. The stronger the defenses, the greater and deeper the hurt, the pain the narcissist aims to compensate for. One's narcissism stands in direct relation to the seething abyss and the devouring vacuum that one harbors in one's true self. Perhaps narcissism is indeed, as many say, a reversible choice, but it is also a rational choice because it guarantees self-preservation and survival. It's a positive adaptation. The paradox is that being a self-loathing narcissist may be the only act of true self-love that the narcissist ever commits. Thank you for listening.


Making your web app work offline is slowly becoming more of an expectation than just a feature. Every app is different and there's many different caching strategies for the different situations. But one of the simplest and most versatile caching strategies is stale while revalidate. With this caching strategy, a request will always use the cached response if there is one, regardless of whether it is stale or not. In the background, we can hit the server and update the cache if necessary. If an update was necessary, you can decide whether to prompt the user to reload the page depending on how important the freshness of the resource is. So let's take a look at how we can implement this caching strategy in our service worker. Whenever a request comes in, we consult both the cache and the network. We want to respond with something as quickly as possible, so for our respond with function, we use the cached response if available. If there was nothing in the cache, we use the network's response. And if that isn't available either, we can't do much more than throw an error. This way, we're making sure the browser gets something to work with as quickly as possible. The resource revalidation goes into our wait until function. It's fine if this process takes a little bit longer as it will be running in the background and won't stale other responses. And we are already done. This is an excellent caching strategy for blocks and similar contentful websites. Just make sure your caching headers and your e-tags are set correctly so the revalidation doesn't become too costly. Thanks for watching. Thank you for sticking around. Since you made it to the end card, I might as well ask you to click our big crew... Oh, it's over here.


Welcome to Psychic Medium, Toni Green. Oh, welcome to the show. Today is going to be hopefully a really, really good show. So I wanna start out by saying hello to my brother, Stevie. I hope you're having a great day. I also want to let you know that any social media platform, no matter what platform it is, I will never reach out to anybody and ask them if they would like a reading or need a reading. You basically come to me. So if you ever want a private session, you go to my website and that is how my readings are done. Or you call my business number, which is different than the number you use to call in for the show.  And these fake accounts will have my name and seem like it is me, it is not, that is not me. So I'm going to tell you to please don't respond to anybody that reaches out to you on any social media platform. Okay, if you would like a session with me, my website is T-O-N-I-G-D-I-N-F-O, okay, now. I will be taking callers if you would like to call in the numbers<PHONE_NUMBER> when you connect, if you wanna ask a question or connect with a loved one, push the one on your keypad. And I will be going through callers and taking questions and or connections. If I do call out your area code, please have an exact question or connection available for me just so we can get through as many people as possible today. I do wanna thank everyone who is joining us here today. I'm really grateful for you being here. So over the past couple of shows, I've shared just a little bit of what you might wanna do, like getting therapy animals such as chickens and pigs because we can't own livestock or get quails because quails can, you can have a quail in your, even if you have an apartment or a home, you can keep a quail indoors.  And I guess quail meat is good. I don't know, I've not had it. What you might wanna do for this show is if you do live near wild animals, turkey, boar, deer, you might wanna start feeding them in your backyard for many, many reasons. I saw a post or a video the other day that said that they are thinking of taking out, I think it was either trout or perch. And I'm sorry, I don't know the exact, if anybody else saw this or knows about this, please comment in the chat so I can get some of my back straight. But supposedly some of our fish are diseased and they're going to take them all out and put in their own. No, mm-mm, mm-mm, no, no, mm-mm, just saying no. Anywho, you might wanna go to where you can fish and get some fishing done, fishing freeze. If you do hunt, you have that hunting license, you might wanna go where you can hunt, get a group together and go hunt. Anyway, just, I mean, just thoughts, just thoughts. Just thoughts, just thoughts. I mean, just thoughts, just thoughts. Just thoughts, just thoughts. Okay, here we go. I am going to go to the, oh, Heather, the random person from YouTube says, quail is yummy, it's a very tender meat. I thank you, thank you so much, Heather, for sharing that on YouTube right now. We have Heather from Jira, Jira, Jira. I'm so sorry, O'Brien. I'm so sorry I don't know how to pronounce that. Please forgive me. Genevieve and Amy, hey, Amy and Genevieve. I love you guys. I love all of you so much. And again, hi, Caroline. If you would like to, if you do have a question and you would like to ask that question, please call in<PHONE_NUMBER>. I will be going through the call log, getting to as many people as possible today. I will take one exact question or one connection if you wanna connect with somebody. On the other side, please tell me the first name of that person and their relationship to you and any conversation you would have, or any information you would have wanted to know from that person. Okay, here we go. First caller, 407-407. How are you today? So how are you doing? Good, what's your name? Where are you calling from? My name is Linda. I'm calling from North Carolina. I was wondering if I could connect with my mom. Her name is Rosina. And I did have a specific question for her. Okay. Because if she is able to let me know, she wanted to be buried with a necklace and we couldn't find the necklace because I'm assuming somebody had taken it. So I don't know if she wants me to find it or not for her. You know what? I think you are correct. I do believe somebody, as soon as you said because somebody had taken it, I heard yes. And when you said, does she want me to find it, I'm hearing a no. I'm going to say, excuse me, the necklace may be misplaced, but if it is misplaced, it's going to be a challenge to find and she doesn't care anymore. That was something that her human self wanted but her spirit self really doesn't care. She's not, like I don't want to say not needing that but she would rather that when or if you find it, you keep it as a momento of memory for you guys. So that is what I'm hearing. I don't believe it's, she could, I'm just hearing, oh, I could just care less. I could just care less. So don't worry about that. That is what she is saying, okay, La? She directs me to where would be? No. And I'm not, honestly, I'm not seeing that. I'm not getting that right now. I'm seeing what I think the necklace is. I think the necklace is a very thin, it's very dainty, it's a very thin chain. I'm seeing a very thin chain and I'm seeing what I think is the thing on it. And I don't, I can't make out what the thing on it is but I'm going to tell you, no, no, and not yet, not yet. And she is saying this and I'm going to tell you this and I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding this but she's saying, you're not listening to me. You're not listening to me. So I'm going to tell you whatever that means between you and her is whatever that means between you and her but she really doesn't, don't go out of your way when the time is right, it will just be found. Okay, La? Okay. Thank you so much for calling in. I look, I hope that it does just pop up for you and I am sorry for your loss. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Thank you, I really appreciate it. Thank you for checking that off with her. I'm sorry, I'm watching my granddaughter here, sorry. Oh, no, no, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Absolutely my pleasure. I am going to go directly to the next caller who is 443. Yes, hi, how are you? Good, what's your name? Where are you calling from? I'm calling from Baltimore. Hey, Ashley, how can I help you today? I recently went through a divorce and my husband is seeing somebody new but I have this, like this sick name and I just wanna know, like, are my kids in danger? Is the situation safe or do I have this feeling for a reason? Oh, that's a big question. Give me a second, what's just, I just need your ex-husband's first name. Steven, it's a pH. Okay, give me just one second. You know what? I'm just gonna say the feeling you're feeling is his energy, he feels, yeah, okay. I just need to back up off that. Okay, so some people, when they go through something like a divorce, when they go through something like a divorce or a breakup or they, whatever, their energy can turn really toxic and literally make you feel nauseous. They can make you feel very, like you're literally, like I tapped into his energy and this is not about him, this is just his energy at the time. It makes me feel like I'm literally going to puke, like I can feel it in my throat. It's very icky. So the feeling you're feeling is legit. It's a legit feeling. I don't think it's a feeling that has anything to do with your children being in harm. I think this is just his, his very, very, I'm even gonna go so far as to say angry energy right now. He's very, yeah, because my body just wants to shake right now and like my hands are, he's like very, very, very, I just have to get out of his energy. Holy Paul. Yeah, it's horrible. He is very, very unsettled. And what I'm gonna do for him, which I'm actually doing for your children is I'm gonna clean up his energy. So him, I'm going to start with taking out, for him, for you, for everybody listening, watching, re-listening, re-watching. Let's clean all the toxic anger energy for you and anybody you care about. Let's get that out. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that's what you're picking up. And it doesn't matter why he's that way. We don't need to go into that. The fact that he is that way is just what it is right now. And the fact that he is just is what it is, whatever. What I am going to tell you. He moved this girl, he moved this girl into the house, literally, three months after we divorced and introduced our kids, but the girl has been receiving threats as well from her exes or whoever it is. I don't even know who it is. I've been getting anonymous things. I'm just worried and I wanna make sure I'm not being overly, you know, trying to be vindictive or control his life. I just really wanna make sure that the situation is okay. And I know that he is angry, but I wasn't sure if he is also just not good for this either. It doesn't, okay, so here's what I'm going to say and I'm sorry I have to say it this way, but please listen to this and then re-listen to it after the show today because I think here's the thing. It's not that you want to control the situation and I understand that, but we can't, no matter who our exes get with, we don't have any say so in that. We can't, like no matter how legitimate our concern is, we really can't, sometimes we can't even vocalize it. Now the fact that she is receiving threats unless you have documentation of that or proof like literal show it in court proof, there's nothing you can do about this. So what I'm gonna say is I do feel like whatever is going on with her, they are trying to take care of it and they are trying to be very practical and safe about it with whatever that situation is. Are your children safe with him while they're with him? You know, I have to ask the question just a little bit differently. So give me a second here while I figure out the, how about if we just do a clearing that your children will always be safe when they're with him and or her? Let's do that. Her children will always be safe when they're with him and or her. Let's clear that because safe can mean like one of them trips and falls in like scrapes up their knee. Safe can be a number of different things and a number of different ways. So let's just clear that they're just always safe when they're in, when they're with them. And that will be the healthiest thing we can do. Remember your children have angels also that are there to protect them. So whenever they walk out the door, just make sure you're directing their angels to keep them safe and protected. And again, I know if I were in your shoes, I would be livid, I would be upset, I would think how irresponsible we can't, but we have to understand we can't control what other people do. So even this girl he's seeing, if other people are threatening them, why ever they're being threatened, that's not really important. The fact that somebody is making a threat, that's not the risk. Like if somebody threatens me, that's not on me, that's on that person. That's their low level of character and behavior. And I can't be held responsible for somebody else threatening me. So in this case, they can't be held responsible for other people threatening them unless they're actively doing things that are inciting the threat. So all we can do is make sure the children are protected and he is doing his, I feel, even though his energy is very angry and probably because of everything going on, I feel that his children are a priority and he is trying to protect everything. And I know that that's not exactly what you want to hear right now. And I know that you want to hear, don't send your children, but even if I said that, that's just not an option. So we're just going to try to do our best to clear any harm from coming to them at any time they're in the presence of these people. Okay, love? Keep praying over them and pray the situation. Do you see if we will co-parent better though, eventually? Yes. In about a month and a half, things are going to calm down a bit. And in about, that's a really good question. Thank you for asking that. And let's do a clearing for you and anybody else who has separated and or divorced that they're trying to co-parent and it's just not going well. Co-parenting is healthy. I'm getting a no, that's clear to. Oh yeah, that comes from like that place between the rib cage, which is all fear. So what I'm going to say in about a month and a half, you're going to notice a huge difference in the way the two of you co-parent. And I think that's because a lot of pressure on his end is going to be lifted and the threat is going to be gone. If you want to have a conversation with him about the threats, you cannot do it in a threatening way. You have to do it in a way of, hey, I heard this is going on, I'm really sorry. What can I do to help? And what is being done on your end? Come at it like you're trying to be helpful, not adding more to it, because if you come at it like you're adding more to it, he's going to get defensive and shut down. If you want to really know what's going on, you have to come at it like you're trying to be helpful and work with him to be a part of it, the solution rather than part of the problem, even though you're not. And we can't always control how we go and talk to somebody or how we say something because your emotions are valid and important also. So what I'm going to say to you, sweet girl, I think in a month and a half, the co-parenting is going to get a lot better, a lot of the pressure is going to be relieved and you're going to be much happier. But for this next month and a half, just breathe through it the best that you can, okay? Appreciate that. You are so welcome and we will all be saying prayers for you and for your children. And I'm so sorry that you're going through what you're going through. Thank you so much. Thank you. You are welcome and thank you so much for calling in. I am here every Monday and Wednesday at noon central time. So if you don't get through today, you can get through, try again on Monday. The secret to being one of the first callers is to call 15 minutes before the show starts. Then you're one of the top callers on the list and I get to those people first. So let's go to the next caller. I wanna say hi to Jessica. Jessica, hey, how are you? I'm so happy to see that she's able to watch the show today. Jessica and I are starting a TikTok station. Is it called a TikTok channel? A TikTok channel called Live Beauty Reviews. Live.beauty.reviews. And we're just gonna be reviewing all kinds of beauty products and tools and everything. So you can follow me on that. And then when I start doing, and she starts doing them, they will be uploaded there for sure.  But if I do love a product, I'll leave a link so you can get the product. But I am gonna be 1 million percent honest. And also on my other TikTok channel at Psychic Tony, there are lots of, you might want us. And there are lots of healings and clearings on there. So I would absolutely recommend you go check those out. I'm gonna go to 908, next, 908. How are you? What's your name? Where are you calling from? Hi, good afternoon. I'm telling you, this is Caroline. How are you? It's so good. Oh my goodness, Caroline. How are you? I'm so perfect as well. Just rolling along the second day of summer. Right? It's gorgeous now, I'm loving it. How can I help you, beautiful?  I'd love to speak to my mom. Her name is Lucinda. I'd love to hear from her, it's been a long time. And I have a special question for her. Okay, go right ahead. I've heard at night, lately, in my dream time, that I'm working very hard, a connection with my mom. And this is, I have the actual planet name, it's called Alpha Centauri. And I'm just wondering if there was a connection that I felt sometime within the last two weeks. Very strongly that I got up one day and I said, why am I so tired? I feel like I've been working in my sleep. You have fun. It's fun. I'm telling you, things just happened to me that were just like, let's just say, out of this world, magic, and I'm blessed. But I would love to hear from my mom. Okay, so yeah. I miss her again. The first thing I hear is this is true. You have been, there's this statement, is our dream state our real world? Or is this our real world? Who knows? Maybe they're both our real world. Maybe we live in dual realities and we will work on both planes. I don't call Earth a planet. I call it a plane when I'm channeling. And there are many, many different planes. So there are planes that are higher than us, lower than us, and all around us. And all of these planes have different purposes and reasons for being with different types of, no, different levels of, different levels of life is the statement they're giving me. So in our sleep, we can travel to any of these planes. And sometimes people call it astro traveling. And sometimes we go to a plane, the plane where our loved ones are, and we start working with our loved ones to help them and they help us. Right now, for everybody listening and everybody that will be watching this, our loved ones are coming in very strong through our dreams and our sleep time. And even in our awake time, to help us to keep things going the way they're supposed to be going. I'm going to tell you that everybody should be at least aware of that, even if you don't remember your dreams, they are happening. You are having them. And we are working in other areas. And right now, many of us are working triple time. And this is why we're so tired, even we can sleep and sleep and just still be so tired or wake up really rejuvenated because we went to a higher frequency planet or plane. And then we come back and we're like so rejuvenated and feel amazing. This is also why our sleep time can be like we slept for two hours and it felt like we slept for 20 or we slept for 13 hours and it felt like we slept for five moments. This is why this is going on for us. And we need to be aware of that and just know that whatever we're doing in those other planes is just as important as what we're doing here. So thank you so much. And she wants to tell you, keep up the good work. Don't give up your progress. Keep progressing, keep progressing. Don't give up your progress and don't falter. I wouldn't see that coming. Well, she says, you know how she means that. Like don't put it aside for too long. Stay steady on the course, okay? Caroline? Beautiful, thank you. This has been lots of fun. I think my mom, you know, I love her so much. And it's amazing the connections that we have. Thank you. Yes, you are so welcome. And she loves you too. And she wants you to know she's going to keep being there during your sleep time. So don't worry, she's not going anyplace. Until Monday, have an- Monday, thank you. Fabulous weekend. I look forward to Monday. And thank you so much again for taking the time to be here with me today and joining me. I love each and every one of you so very, very much. Until next time.
