Hi, my name is Kwame and tonight I'm going to read you a short story from the book How to Love a Jamaican. How to Love a Jamaican is by Alexia Arthas and it houses a series of short stories, interesting short stories, and I picked one titled Bad Behavior and I hope you enjoy it. So yes, stick around and let's get to it. Pam and Curtis brought Stacey to Jamaica because they didn't know what else to do with her. They believed that her old-time granny was straightening her out. In Brooklyn, Stacey cut her glasses often and she was caught giving the boy a blowjob in an empty classroom. They looked at the sweet little face on the body of a woman and they were terrified of her and for her. It seemed that her breasts and her arse were getting bigger every day. Often Pam will pull down Stacey's shirt to give her arse better coverage and Stacey would groan and laugh, tucking her shirts back into her jeans. Pam wanted her loud to Curtis whether Stacey's curvy body was because of all the chicken wings she enjoyed eating from the Chinese restaurant. In America, Pam argued, chickens were injected with hormones, which could explain all the little black girls with breasts and arses before their time. Stacey refused to eat breakfast because she was never hungry in the mornings and because the school lunch was nasty, she was ravenous by the end of school day. She would come home with a take-out box, pork fried rice and fried chicken wings. She ate while she did her homework. Somehow in the midst of teenage angst and manhunger, she remained a diligent student and would later refuse to eat dinner with her parents and little brother because she was still four. Recently, Curtis was driving on Rockaway Parkway when he saw Stacey walk out of the train station just come from school. A man, not a boy, but a man in baguette jeans, just any old street thug, had called to his daughter and she had actually turned around and walked back to him. They were still talking when Curtis showed up to escort Stacey home. Pam and Curtis were afraid of their 14-year-old daughter. Often, they would tell each other that this was what America did to children. This blasted country that turned parents into children and children into parents. One need not look any further than the white people on the television who asked their children what they wanted to eat for dinner. In Jamaica, children knew to respect adults while it wasn't unusual to hear an American child call an adult by her first name. It wasn't that Jamaican children were perfect. It was that when they made mistakes, they knew to be ashamed. All children were selfish, but American ones had an easier time living for themselves. They took their daughter to Jamaica on the pretense of a vacation. Before they left Brooklyn, when Pam checked Stacey's suitcase, she found that her daughter had packed two nameplate necklaces that read Bad Bitch and Flawless and some thongs that Pam didn't know she owned. Pam left the Flawless necklace in the suitcase and hid the Bad Bitch necklaces and thongs. Stacey didn't seem to notice the missing items. On the beach, she wore sunglasses and a two-piece bathing suit she had bought with her own money, revealing the belly button piercing her appearance that even though she had. When a dreadlocked man saw her sitting on the beach by herself, he invited her to follow him to his house. She had looked the man in the face and kissed her teeth without fear as though he and she were size. Every day, Stacey climbed the mango tree behind her grandmother's house and then ate several mangoes in one sitting. In the afternoon, she walked down to the shop to buy banana chips, even though she had five on open packages sitting on the dresser, because she liked that the boy at the counter flirted with her and looked openly at her breasts. On the fifth day, while Stacey slept, her parents and little brother left. A few hours later, her grandmother, Trudy, nushed her out of the bed asking, You going to sleep the whole day? She was eating the saltfish and dumplings her grandmother made for breakfast when she thought to ask about her parents and brother. It wasn't the first morning she had awakened late to hear that they had started the day without her. At first, Trudy ignored her, so Stacey asked again. You not behave yourself. Her grandmother told her, speaking quietly, so they left you with me until you behave yourself. Stacey behaved very badly, cussing up some bad words and throwing her breakfast on the floor, which surprised the old lady so much that all she could say was Jesus Christ. She hadn't believed the girl was as bad as they said and since she was lonely living the house by herself, she gladly welcomed her. Stacey ran to the front of the house and looked down the road to see if they had only recently left. She knew this couldn't be the case, but she looked anyway. Then, she went to the back of the house behind the old pit toilet so that she could cry without anyone seeing her. She bawled for a long time. She punched her fist into the walls of the long retired pit toilet, but the pain only made her cry harder. She felt someone watching and when she looked down, Fatty, her grandmother's mongrel dog, was looking up at her.  Over the first two weeks after her parents left, Stacey's spirit softened. She was quieter, more inward. When she spoke to her parents on the phone, she promised that she would behave herself, but Curtis and Pam weren't ready to let Stacey back into their home. Though at times they had missed her, she was, after all, a sweet girl when she wanted to be, and she was the first born, which meant they loved her in a different way, not necessarily a better way than they loved their son Curtis Jr., a chubby 10-year-old who was an easy child. They told her that after a year, if she improved, she could come home.  Why you won't behave yourself? Stacey had smiled and looked embarrassed because she was shy for her grandmother to know certain things about her, and yet it was a compliment to hear that she was pretty. She'd been afraid when she put her mouth on the boy's penis. Patrick was one of the most desired boys in school, and of all the other girls, he had pulled Stacey into an empty classroom, putting her hand down his pants. This happened a few times, them kissing in empty classrooms, and one day he pushed his fingers down her jeans, and eventually she climaxed. And it was surprising and gratified because she had never masturbated before and hadn't known that a boy's fingers could do that to her. She told one of her friends, and the friend had been surprised to hear that Stacey hadn't reciprocated, and this made Stacey feel as though she had done something wrong. She was sure Patrick would never pull her into a classroom again, and when he did, she wanted to make it so he wouldn't be disappointed. The first and only time she was caught. Her parents had been furious, and they had said all kinds of things, but they hadn't asked why. Every morning, Trudy woke her granddaughter so she could help with the breakfast, and she would help with the other meals as well. Stacey learned to fry dumplings that were almost as good as her grandmother's, to make a nice chicken foot soup, and to bake sweet potato pudding. In New York, Pam had done all the cooking. When Stacey started at an all-girls high school, she learned to wash her uniform by hand, even though Trudy had a washing machine, because her grandmother claimed that it was the only way to ensure that all white shirts were really clean. She was distracted from boys, because the relationship with her classmates were so intricate in consuming, all of them interested in befriending the foreign girl. The mother Trudy had been was another woman. When Pam was 16, Trudy, acting on the tip from a neighbor, had found a love letter in one of her daughter's schoolbooks and had punched her, even slapped her face. It wasn't until Pam had become a woman with her husband and children that she could almost forgive her mother. Not all mothers could afford to be kind. When Pam had first come to America, she cleaned for a white family, and one afternoon, standing at her employer's bedroom door, she overheard the woman and her teenage daughter debate the daughter's decision to lose her virginity to her boyfriend. Pam marveled that this was a thing that could happen. She had vowed to become a better mother than Trudy. But then, without realizing until it was too late, without knowing why or how, she had failed her daughter. She had had to send her daughter to her mother, and she hoped that the old woman would be tough. Maybe, she thought, maybe the formula so many Caribbean mothers used on their daughters wasn't the worst thing. Maybe, she thought, it was sacrilege for daughters to discuss their sex lives with their mothers, and what the daughter needed was not a confidant, but a woman who loved her enough to show her some of the harshness that the world was already unable to give her. For a long time after Pam came to America, it seemed that she was eternally in school. At first, for years, she studied on a part-time basis for a bachelor's degree. After all, she hadn't come to America to clean and cook for white people and take care of their children. When she and Curtis, she went to school to become a registered nurse. They had taken longer than necessary because she had to attend part-time. She needed an income, so she was still cleaning for white people and taking care of their children. When Stacy was growing up, Pam was always working overtime so they could buy a house. And when she and Curtis bought a house, she worked overtime so they could pay the mortgage, the water bill, the electric bill, and all the other bills that came with owning a house. She'd married a man who wasn't as ambitious as she was. For years, she'd married Curtis to go to school, and for years he said he would look about it soon, but soon never came. He was a simple man when she'd met him, and she believed that he would be good to her, so she married him for something that wasn't quite love and because she was tired of struggling in America without a green card. When she met him, he made his money by cleaning for the church he attended. And though it wasn't plenty of money, he seemed contented. Now, he was one of the janitors at an elementary school. If it had been up to Curtis, she and the children would have stayed in that tiny two-bedroom on Stirling Street and he wouldn't have minded. Curtis, unlike Pam, hadn't come to America for a better life. He'd left Jamaica because his mother filed for him and he figured it seemed like a reasonable opportunity. Pam worked hard because she had to. What choice did she have with her husband like Curtis? If she didn't put a pot on the stove, the thought would never have occurred to him. Before she had children, she had hoped that she would see her daughter as more than a daughter, as a person with desires and her own set of truths. And it turned out that all she saw was a child who needed from her. She determined that what her daughter needed was to be fed, clothed, baptized and protected from men. When her daughter put her mouth on the boy's penis, the question hadn't been why. But the answer had been no. The following year, Pam, Curtis and Curtis Junior returned to Jamaica. Pam leaves Curtis and Curtis Junior to bring the suitcases into the house, while she goes looking for her daughter. The house is empty, so she ventures to the back, where Stacey is squatting on their mongo tree, scaling a pan of fish. Pam watches her. Every time Stacey guts a fish, he throws the size to fatty. In New York, her daughter has certainly never cleaned fish. Of course, Pam thinks. Of course my mother said her right. On belongs to her, Trudy talks to her granddaughter in reasons with her. Once, they had walked down to the shop together, and because Trudy noticed that the shopkeeper's son was looking at her granddaughter as though she had plans for her, she said to him, take you eye of my grandpickney. I know you'll get Grace Bickney pregnant. Stacey had laughed in agreement. Now she looks up, and in her excitement to greet her mother, she knocks over the pan of fish. But fatty, who's pregnant again, is quicker than she is.


Hi, I'm Rachel Stein, Research and Instruction Librarian at the Latin American Library at Tulane University. This video will address one of the most frequent questions I get from students researching Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal. What language should I use when I'm looking for academic sources? English, Spanish, Portuguese, any other language spoken in those regions, or for that matter, any other language that I can read in. The short answer is, all of the above. Try different keyword combinations in English and any other language you can work in, but it's essential to understand the advantages and drawbacks of searching in English versus other languages to get the best results. In this video, I'll demonstrate a library search in English and then Spanish, so you can see exactly what goes on when you search in different languages. To start my search, I've gone to my library's homepage, library.tulane.edu. If you're at another institution, you can try following along with your local library catalog, even though the display and search options will be different. I'm going to start by clicking on the Advanced Search button to see all my options. The sample research topic I'm going to use today is Arab Immigration in Latin America. I hope that I'm limiting my search to books for the purposes of this exercise. That said, when you go to do an article search, whether here or in another academic database, many of the takeaways I'll be discussing will be the same. I'd like to try a first search intuitively and then adapt my keywords as I discover what terms catalogers use to describe the material and based on what did or did not work. I'm going to take a stab at the keywords Arab and immigration and Latin America. Notice that I'm searching any field instead of title or subject to cast as wide a net as possible. Using the end between search lines is going to ensure that the result will include all of my search terms. You can see that I got 10 results, some in English and some in Spanish. One is even in French and some are definitely more relevant than others. Let's look at the first hit which is highly relevant for my project and see what we can learn from the catalog record. To start, the title is in Spanish. This means that when I do a keyword search for Spanish terms in the library catalog, I will get results that have my keywords in the title. Notice that my search picked up on America with an accent even though I didn't include an accent mark in my English search for America. This tells me that the search will pick up on a word with the same spelling, whether or not it has accent marks or other diacritics, so that's helpful to keep in mind. Just below, the subjects are in English, not Spanish. This is because at Tulane and most US libraries, the cataloging is done in English. These subject keywords, which librarians call subject headings, are absolutely essential to look at when you're doing a search. They tell you what terms catalogers use to describe and categorize materials. You can click on any of these links to see books on similar topics which have the same subject headings. Or you can jot down these keywords and go back and try a new search with different combinations of keywords. I can see that all of the keywords that I searched, Arab, immigration, and Latin America, are included somewhere in the subject field and you can see them highlighted in yellow. That's why my English keywords resulted in this book appearing, even though the book is in Spanish. Continuing down to the bottom of the record, the catalogers have opted to include the table of contents. This won't always be the case, but it's incredibly helpful when it is. If you use Spanish keywords in a library search and the record includes a table of contents in Spanish, the search engine will pick up on your keywords in that part of the record as well. Now let's go back and try a keyword search in Spanish and see how the results are different. I'm going to build a search similar to my first one using any field because I now know that a subject search would have to be in English. I'm going to try immigration, Arabic, and Latin America. You can see I only got two results, much fewer than before, but now we know why. It's because the search is only picking up on information in the title and table of contents and not the subjects that are catalogued in English. Based on this, we can conclude that searching in Spanish may be more limiting because it won't account for subject keywords. On the other hand, though, my Spanish search gave me much more targeted results. These two books are highly relevant to my project because the keywords I used are all in the book's titles. To conclude, what did you learn from this video? What are your major conclusions and takeaways? I encourage you to pause the video and jot your ideas down before I share my own. I hope you came away with three major conclusions. First, remember what's behind your search. The title and table of contents of a catalog record will be in Spanish if the book is in Spanish and the same goes for any language other than English. You may also find author's names, publication information, and summaries in the language in which the book was written in the catalog record. Meanwhile, in every single catalog record with Tulane and at any library where cataloging is done in English, the subject headings will always be in English. Second, use dynamic keyword strategies. Test out different combinations of keywords in each language to maximize results. And after you do an intuitive search, look to see what subject keywords catalogers use and adapt your terms accordingly. Third and finally, think critically about what's behind an information search. This is a big picture conclusion. Once you understand what goes into a catalog or database search, you'll get more effective at finding relevant sources for your project. It's a general rule of thumb when looking for information. I hope this video was helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to email lalatulane.edu.

Hello and welcome to daily debrief brought to you by People's Dispatch, I am Pragya. Today we bring an update from Qatar where the FIFA Cup begins on Sunday amid a new controversy, this time over beer. We discussed the latest at Twitter where things are even more topsy-turvy than last week and finally the epic meeting of economic leaders has concluded. We discussed the key takeaways, especially what countries said about existing tensions. Stay with us All eyes are on Qatar, which prepared for a decade to host the games on the eve of the region's first FIFA World Cup. Qatar plays Ecuador on Sunday evening and after an opening ceremony that is expected to be quite grand. Defending champions France have also arrived in Qatar at what is also the most expensive World Cup amid many other firsts. We have news click Siddhantaane in Qatar at the games venue and here's his update. Siddhanta thanks for joining us from Ground Zero. What's the scenario like? Looks like beer is knocking out human rights for a moment here. Yeah it took actually this last minute U-turn by the Supreme Committee that is deciding on things for the Qadari government, however you look at it, where they said earlier that beer would be available, alcoholic beer would be available in stadiums for fans to consume in the 90 minutes of football that they are coming to watch and they made a last minute sort of U-turn on that which sparked off obviously concerns of some kind of commercial or contract based backlash from their partners who are supplying the beer but apart from that finally the western world has a different headline to go with which is that oh beer will not be available in stadiums. So I suppose that's another in that sense not meaning to sort of trivialize the situation but it's a different kind of human rights violation that these football fans are essentially talking about. It's not that beer is not available in the country, it's available outside stadiums at fans venues at bars etc etc but I think the the logic is that for those 90 minutes that you're in the venue you will not be able to consume alcohol and somehow that's the biggest story that is coming out of the World Cup at least for today. As of tomorrow of course things will kick off in terms of the actual football so the focus will probably slightly shift away from the narrative that has been building so far and I think we'll of course touch on that a little bit but mostly yeah the focus is shifting to the football. I think fans are coming in the airport here in Doha was super busy last night when I got in I think most of the world's media has descended already and is starting to sort of get into the flow of covering the event and finding obviously whatever storylines they might be able to. The host country's performance has actually the best hope for any Asian team at this tournament in some ways because of the preparation that they put into it going back to 2010 when they were awarded the World Cup, setting up of the Aspire Academy and you know sort of taking this whole generation of athletes to the culmination point which is this World Cup. We get to see that in Asia versus South America kind of opening match tomorrow evening so yeah essentially everyone's now looking forward to that and you know sort of starting to get into the football side of things more than all the other conversations that have been happening so far. Yeah talk about those conversations as well Siddhant like just to bring our viewers up to speed with what has been capturing the headlines so far. Right I mean as we've touched on a couple of times before on daily TV fan of course elsewhere on People's Dispatch as well as Newsclick. There has been from 2015 onwards when the investigations were launched by the United States based an FBI investigation was essentially launched into corruption in the FIFA structure. Much of it was focused on why Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 were awarded the World Cup. What was the process that went on and of course all of the bribery corruption etc etc that has that is very much part of the heritage of FIFA I think as as an organization. So in my mind it has less to do with Qatar as a host nation and more to do with the organization that is FIFA and what that represents and how from maybe 1978 onwards when Jav Havelans took over as president of FIFA and sort of made crucial capitalist mega cooperation the shift started back then and with that money coming into the system before that FIFA was essentially like the BCCI was before the IPL started you know which is a board that controls the sport but has their little money in the bank unnecessarily right so once the money started coming in all of the people who run the sport thought that they could make the same kind of wealth that perhaps athletes get and you know people in that position get so essentially that's where the story of the corruption sort of began and it comes into of course today because of other reasons somehow that core element has been forgotten the questioning of FIFA and its structure how the politics of FIFA happens and how these tournaments are not only awarded but also then how they are executed on the ground that questioning has reduced to a great extent and it's become about particularly from western media point of view it's become about picking on you know countries that are not like us and and tacking on those issues not that the issues don't exist of course the fact of the matter is that over six and a half thousand officially recognized six and a half thousand workers have died in construction projects in the country from the time that the world cup was awarded to Qatar that is undeniable and compensation and those processes need to happen but to make that the sole sort of focal point of the entire story like oh are we really doing this you know is Qatar 2022 really happening that unfortunately has kind of dominated and taken away from actually I think what some of the core issues are thanks for joining us and we I'm sure we'd be catching up with you pretty regularly now that you're there yeah hopefully uh yeah justify also my trip on not all the way but yeah Twitter hasn't belonged to space billionaire Elon Musk for a month but there have been plenty of meltdowns in that much time the company has unveiled a new policy for hate speech on the platform and it has sacked around half its employees over the last three weeks meanwhile Twitter employees are said to be quitting by the hundreds as Musk also apparently wants them to work hardcore which means longer hours Prasanth from people's dispatch is here to talk about what all of this means right Prasanth so Prasanth a complete meltdown at Twitter one meltdown after the other can you tell us what's going on right so I mean to answer this question you would have to draw a time barrier so the question really is what is happening this week as opposed to what happened last week which is an entire story on its own so again a lot happening on one hand we do know that uh Elon Musk who's bought Twitter less than a month ago uh and already fired more than half its staff sent out a mail saying that you know he wanted people to be hardcore you know people had to commit to huge long working hours and otherwise they could take a severance pay etc whatever which means a lot more employees quit again so now there's no real estimate of how many employees actually still remain in the company and of course it's not uncommon for a large number of people to leave a company but in less than one month when over 50% and definitely now more of your workforce quits real questions arise about whether you know this entity is even sustainable it's true for any company it's all the more true for such a public facing company like Twitter where you know there are obviously constant attempts people might be constantly attempting to attack the site etc etc whatever so obviously there's a lot of speculation about whether Twitter will be even able to survive because whether it's core core functionalities there are enough people to run those core functionalities etc etc we don't really have an answer to those questions we have to wait and see on the other hand uh Elon Musk has brought back some of the accounts that were suspended now he's launched a poll to decide if Donald Trump should come back to Twitter which is you know quite a controversial move since Trump had used Twitter to hate Monger for many many years it played a huge role in fact in his coming to power in 2016 as well so what we're seeing is it's a bit like the wild west right now out there on twitter in terms of you know people being people worrying about whether the platform will survive at all people you know recommending moving on to new platforms just mastered in uh downloading your data and you know etc and moving on many people quitting the platform saying that they do not want to be in this new in this new era 2.0 twitter 2.0 etc etc lot of media commentary that's what we're doing as well but it's been in some sense is very interesting to see uh you know the this kind of a meltdown live i don't think we've rarely seen a company of this size a company of uh a platform which has uh this relevance across the world i mean of course millions of people don't billions of people don't use twitter it's not even one of the biggest social media platforms but it has an outsized influence as compared to its user base because the fact that the influential people are on twitter policy makers are on twitter celebrities are on twitter academics and twitter journalists so it has a you know uh huge uh it has a uh it has a relevance that sometimes uh you know goes beyond the sheer number of users on twitter which is only about uh 400 million or so as opposed to some of the bigger social media giants whose membership is in billions right so which is why i think people are watching with a huge amount of interest as to what happens now uh it's still uh right now it's still very very early to say because it does look like there is complete chaos uh going around a lot of employees who have left to talk about the fact that key teams have been gutted like i said right that through through resignations or through dismissals which means that many questions are being asked about the platform again many questions are being asked about what are the new kinds of policies that are going to come into place moderation policies content policies all of that very very uncertain right now so uh you know at uh depending on where you're standing in the political spectrum depending on where you're standing in the spectrum analysis for better or for worse uh you know the the one extreme case scenario is that you know twitter might go go to the very verge of collapse right and uh this is two meanings i mean technically it may still stand i mean i'm not saying that the site is going to go down completely or whatever but it might suffer such a huge credibility blow that a large number of its advertisers might permanently decide might permanently rethink whether they want to sort of continue uh advertising on twitter which will hit its revenue we know that 90 percent of twitter's revenue comes via ads so the key question for Elon Musk really is that can he pull the company back from the brink in terms of actually uh in a company like twitter continuity and steadiness are often what matter more than what really matter because that is what gives advertisers the confidence to keep advertising if your platform is completely chaotic if your platform is increasingly gaining the impression of an unsafe place of a completely anarchic and chaotic place advertisers will be more reluctant to actually spend on a platform like that so very uh interesting developments okay prashant thanks a lot for joining us for that the apex meeting of economic leaders concluded on saturday in bangkok thailand countries focused on the need for peace and ending war and tensions between world powers especially conflicts beyond the pacific region before the action wound down apic managed to raise some contentious issues but without raising hackles china was at the center of attention again like at the g20 that also ended this week climate change featured prominently among economic cooperation talks but how seriously do the countries take the concerns that they raised we spoke to anish from people's dispatch anish so an important summit concludes there seem to be a lot of these kind of summits which are held between various parties uh can you the g20 just concluded as well can you sort of compare and contrast what this one meant well uh to begin with in many ways it is uh sort of a continuation of what happened with g20 and also recent summits which which may not include the same kind of people but obviously the same countries where the talking points on every news media uh in the current case we saw china being the focus again uh but in a different uh in a different context uh but it wasn't as uh there was no rabble rousing there was no confrontation there was no uh you know attempt to one-up man there was no one-upmanship in either of the parties that were involved there were obviously uh what good very very good thing that happened was bilateral talks continued uh between different countries especially ones that have already strained relations especially when we consider the fact that china and the more pro-us allies in the summer among the summit partners have quite a strained relationship of the past few years over various issues uh has uh are now uh coming together talking you know coming back to the table negotiating talking about issues that they think are important and trying to find out ways for cooperation obviously shijin pings uh message uh speech at the summit is also noteworthy emphasized uh peace in the region in the asia pacific region as crucial for uh for stability and growth and prosperity of the region obviously that makes a whole lot of sense when we consider the fact that this is one of the least uh conflict prone region in for the past several decades now uh this is a vietnam war there hasn't been a major conflict involving multiple parties for a very long time obviously tensions are are high we are already talking about missile launches among between certain countries and that also figured within the summit with some of them actually making unilateral statements at the time but in the end of the matter the the the focus was often to bring in talks back at the table rather than just making statements against uh your competitors or another country and that is obviously crucial at a time like this right and each now many of these summits do actually boil down to what happens at the bilaterals can you go into some details of the important ones yeah so obviously two uh significant ones this time and the the side that happened in the sidelines of the summit was the talks between new Zealand and china and the talks between china and philippines obviously again these two countries are having confrontations on various fronts uh in the case of philippines there are more immediate confrontations obviously there are territorial disputes there are territorial water disputes there is an entire dispute that involves a multilateral uh you know conflict in the region which is the south china sea and so uh the meetings are crucial the heads of governments are talking uh coming together and talking about uh crucial matters is important uh there is uh unlike what we saw in g20 where at least one country had a sort of a spat with china uh in this case there wasn't any such thing uh china did again re-emphasize the no cold new no new cold war uh talking about which is important uh considering the fact that we're talking about uh major global powers facing off each other on the trade uh front which often at the time when we are looking at spiraling cost living crisis and you know supply shortages these aspects do become important thai one was something that obviously came in in some of the talks uh but it wasn't as uh it did not attract the sort of hostility that we saw in previous summits and uh that is a good news as well uh considering the fact that uh one of the flare ups uh of tensions in the regions was thai one and the question about uh the sovereign rights over thai one uh with the uh considering china and uh and obviously uh there was a short chat that we saw between uh us and china with kamala harris vice president kamala harris uh meeting shijun pink um but uh it wasn't as substantial as obviously the joe biden meeting that happened last week uh where obviously significant progress was made uh there was also an in mold on the multilateral front obviously bilaterals are definitely the most important but in the multilateral front uh climate change is becoming in as an issue the talk about uh maintaining peace and prosperity in the region was something that was echoed by other uh partners of the summit which was not just china but also thailand and philippines and other nations in the region who are more concerned about uh being uh you know being made to pick a side in uh any kind of tensions and uh losing a whole host of the advantage that they gained over the past several decades through trade and commerce uh and obviously that is something that concerns a whole lot of smaller nations that do not have the same kind of club that the us of china has and obviously who had to face a lot more uh in the trade wars and all the diplomatic tensions so obviously again the at the end of the at the end results we're still uh we need to look at the long-term plans and how uh you know outcomes of these talks materialized but it is definitely a step ahead and and something that can that we can be if not hopeful but uh something that we can keep an eye out for maybe some good news in coming months right anish thanks for joining us with that update and that's all we have for today thank you for watching daily debrief to come back to us next week you can find more such stories on our website peoplesdispatch.org and look out for our regular updates on facebook twitter

Hello everybody and welcome back to esoteric Atlanta. Of course, my name is Bryce We are going to be today continuing our look at the channelings of Tom Kenyon of the Octurion in the Octurion anthology and as most of you know We are in the middle of ectara an octurion named ectara's channeling if this is your first time on the channel welcome I'm so glad you're here, and I'm so glad that you have an interest in this type of offworldly information You don't necessarily have to start at the very beginning you can probably listen to this and get a lot from it But if you are interested in hearing all of the channelings that we previously covered that is in the playlist called understanding the Magdalene Which will be down in the description box below We also have in that playlist the Sophia code Megan Waterson's commentary on Magdalene's missing gospel We have the Magdalene manuscript as well as the Hathor material So I hope that you enjoy all of those in there just as impactful on you as they have been on me And of course other people in this community. So today, we're gonna be looking we're gonna be starting on page 84 on Octurion's he's gonna be speaking I'm really excited to see what he has to say because today We're gonna be talking about the soul and we're also gonna cover something about angels I haven't read too far forward. I just skimmed it a little bit So I'm really excited to get Discussing this so all right what that being said, let's get started in our experience of ourselves and many other beings But not all we possess a point of energy that is indestructible except under the diarist of circumstances When we physically die this point of energy this spark continues on but it does not continue with personal identity Yep It is as if the quintessence the distillation of all our experiences is reduced to a singularity So boom boom boom boom boom we talked about this so much on my channel, which this is basically Spirituality 101 so if you're really new to spirituality, which I understand that there are a lot of people that are very new right now to true Spirituality, which is very different from a legend. Okay? This is this is 101. Okay, so you have the soul and you have the human experience two different things and According to the yoga teachers of the tangerine. This is the crux of man's suffering So man thinks that he is his identity So for me I in my human condition I believe that I am Bryce and this is who I am eternally No I'm a soul and All the experiences I have in this body as Bryce is a way for my soul to know itself through the suffering of the human experience as My friend Cindy says without suffering there is no mystic, right? Because suffering is if everything's just fine and hunt glory all the time and we don't question things But when things when suffering comes around that's when we start to question What is the point of life, right? And as I've said this before it's like when we look at all the lives that we have lived because energy cannot be created or destroyed It can only be transmuted so therefore that's the biggest proof of reincarnation that we just keep coming back It's like going into amusement park, right? So like here in Georgia. We have six blacks It's like when you go into this amusement park you have all these different rides and these different rides are going to simulate a Different experience on purpose You are picking when you get in line to take the Batman ride or the Superman ride or Splash Mountain You are making the choice the free will choice to have that particular Experience or if you want to go into the haunted house You have that choice that free will choice to get in that line and take that experience Sometimes I feel like planet earth is the haunted house of the amusement park that we all decided to get in line for and By having that experience your adrenaline starts to kick in you then Experience the information you need In that simulation if that makes sense and so through the experience of life the soul can know itself But the soul is not the life, right? So people ask me all the time about like and I've covered bloodlines I definitely you know like I'm O negative so there are different personality traits and different experiences to an O negative Person and there is like an A positive so your bloodline your blood type has nothing to do with the value of your soul It's just an experience your race your gender None of this are anything to do with the value of your soul because your soul is none of those things Right, so so that's what he's saying here It's just being reiterated over and over and over again And I think that you know, especially in religion we get so caught up into the identity of our religion And that's the exact opposite of what spirituality is trying to teach us Spirituality is trying to remind you that you are a soul having a human experience You are not a human being searching for a spiritual experience You already are the spiritual experience having a human experience and because you understand as it says in the Emerald Tablets Because you are human that will eventually have this experience come to an end to a conclusion through what we call death Then only then can you as the soul experience life, right? Because the soul is eternal You can't kill a soul the only thing that's gonna perish one day is the mortality of the body But because that exists you're able to use the nervous system to experience life I hope that makes sense. So if you will hear a new to spiritually that is that is the one thing you need to really focus on Past lives. Yes, again, we do have past lives We live many lives the most important experience you're in right now is the one you're in right now And so the past lives if you're spending so much time trying to figure out who you were in the past They're trying to escape something in the now that your soul needs to experience. Okay, so Don't worry about spirituality isn't known on your past life spirituality is not reading tarot cards or divination That's just communication. That's no different than picking up the phone and calling someone Spirituality is under understanding who you are as a spirit your own spirituality So that is the starting point is understanding you are not your identity Your identity is just the Batman ride. It's just Splash Mountain of this life And once you can make peace with that Once you can go through the ego death that's associated with that then you can really start to enjoy The experience of Splash Mountain the life you're in the Batman ride I hope that makes sense if that doesn't make sense ask me questions in the comment section below And we can go through that even more He goes on to say this moves for some time through space or in the higher dimensional realities Decision is made by the individual to re-enter and experience a life or not By this I mean we can choose to incarnate into a body and any of the dimensional realities So again dimensional realities and density are two very different things Dimensional is consciousness density is the nature. So we're in third density right now moving to fourth density The consciousness could be fifth dimensional But there are a lot of people out there claiming they're already in the fifth dimensional realities and they surely are not All right, that's the trick of the ego So the one good thing about spirituality to true spirituality is teaching you a sense of humility And once again if you're confused by what I am saying when I talk about dimensions, I would highly suggest Once again reading the raw material I will put up my episode I did with Catherine Edwards and mr. Fox over the law of one Raw material that we'll get more into it, but don't be duped guys like if you're new to spirituality There's a lot of fake spirituality out there. Please don't be duped There's a lot of fake spirituality in our community and the great awakening that through their community 99.9% of the people out there claiming to be all spiritual. They're not they're duping you they're con men So just be very careful with that kind of stuff We can choose but whether it happens or not is affected by many factors We have to possess the quality of the dimension that we wish to move into as an embodied being Raw the law material causes harvesting graduating.  It's like college again Go back read the law of one to understand what they're talking about So we have to have developed the higher attributes When we were alive if we wish to incarnate into a higher dimensional of reality after our death We observe something similar occurring with human beings Many traditions and religions speak of the soul and our experience is that there is no such thing as the totality of the Individual surviving death and moving forward or backward into dimensional reality But there is an energy point or spark that continues on The question is what of what you might call fields of possibility So that makes sense too. So I use the word soul When I am on YouTube because I statistically have more Westerners watching my YouTube channel and But if you are familiar with Eastern philosophy and spirituality, you know that it's not really the soul There can you can possess many souls within you because the soul is also like the essence of the experience It's the ottoman So if you get really into deep Eastern philosophy It's more the ottoman of the person which is deeper than the soul. It's the watching. It's the watcher So I kind of get what he's saying here because that goes back again, too And I again, I don't really get into much I don't specify that too much on my channel because I don't want to confuse people because so many people are really new To this concept and so soul is the vocabulary word that most Westerners are familiar with so that's what I typically use But yes, if you do go into a deeper field of study when it comes to Eastern philosophy You are going to run across this idea of an ottoman, which is something and that that is truly what I do believe deep down It's more of an ottoman But again, I just picked my battles on YouTube because I know I know that most people in the West are not familiar with this term Hope that makes sense. But we can if you guys want we can do a video kind of explaining the differences between the two if you want And I think sometimes when people in the West refer to their soul, they are actually needing the ottoman They just don't don't realize that's what they're meaning All right The soul as many human beings understand it carries with it personal history and identity see exactly Yes, so the soul is the essence of the experience for the ottoman is the thing watching experience We do not experience this as we view humans going through the death process But we do experience an energy pointer spark surviving death without personal history and without personal identity So that's a really good explanation of the difference between the soul and the ottoman So let me reread that again the soul as many human beings understand it carries with it personal history and identity We do not experience this as we view humans going through the death process But we do experience an energy pointer spark surviving death without personal history and without personal identity So as he's saying here the soul is something with personal history and personal identity The ottoman however is something without personal history and without personal identity It just is the essence of that lifetime in terms of its vibratory nature is Distilled into an essence that is encompassed by the spark or the energy point So this point has a type of magnetic attraction to the vibratory level or dimensional reality that matches What was developed? This is why we octurians prefer to extend our lives as long as possible And we developed the re genesis technology to aid us in this and this is a good point of point talk about this as well I said earlier that there's a lot of scam artists out there and spirituality Thoth has spoken about this in the emerald tablets multiple the half floor spoke about this Multiple different lineages of spirituality speak about this Now the reason why I have such a in-depth understanding is because I have been studying this for 17 years so The emerald tablets as well as many other works say that you need to be a student for at least 10 to 15 years of a specific Lineage in order to then have any credence in teaching it or healing or working with others to heal others This includes Reiki this includes Tai Chi so when you are going about This world Trying to find healers trying to find teachers the first thing you should ask somebody is Who is their teacher in what lineage do they practice under again? This has to do with any quantum healing there needs to be an actual lineage that they're working from and my friend Emmy and I Emmy just got a new puppy So so that's why she's been absent for a little bit. We're actually planning on doing a show on this about how you can vet Right go through a vetting process when it comes to who you're having assist you in your spiritual Progress whether that's again through a light worker a healer or a teacher There needs to be many many years of study and apprenticeship Under that person's belt so I started seriously practicing yoga 17 years ago And I started going to India eight years ago So when I first started practicing yoga, I could I couldn't qualify I had to have years of constant tutelage Under a qualified teacher and that was David Greek for me in order for me to even qualify to get into the school in India So almost like a university It's like if you want to be a doctor you can't just go to med school, right? You have to go to undergrad first go pre-med then you have to take the MCATs to actually get into med school Or if you want to be a lawyer, you have to go free law and undergrad and take the LSAT to get into law school It's the same thing. Okay, it's the same thing with Reiki. It's the same thing with all these Very old lineages.  I wasn't making money as a teacher I was a student right and scam artists don't have time for that Right, especially if they're charismatic and can like dupe you into like paying them Extraordinary amount of money. So for me, I'm the only female author right KPJ I authorized teacher in the state of Georgia if you want to take a private lesson with me for an hour I'm $200 an hour. That's about average for my level of which I went at when the highest levels, right?  I mean the yoga and Reiki intensive that Me and I do together. It's many weeks. We only charge 500 that's split between the two of us Okay, so that's another thing if you are gonna be taking a course for someone having somebody work on you Be their student you need to ask them who they're to who are they accountable to so I'm accountable even though I'm an authorized teacher. I have to be accountable to KPJ Why and my sort India? I have a teacher there that has authorized me. I had to sign a contract Understanding certain I had certain boundaries ethical boundaries. All right, so you you have every right to ask that person Who is their teacher? You have every right to ask that person to see their paperwork Showing their authorization or whatever they call it in their lineage You also need to ask that person how many years they've been studying this You have a right to know this if you're gonna have this person come on and work on you Okay, so that's just a little little piece of advice take it or leave it But that's just some really practical advice when you are looking for spiritual teachers and you all right So let's go into electromagnetic intelligence In your ancient history and mythology ancient cultures Interacted with these higher electromagnetic Intelligence and again to clarify the terminology by higher Electromagnetic intelligence we simply mean electromagnetic entity that exists in a higher vibratory rate than humans Let us look at the electromagnetic spectrum through the lens of ultraviolet light There are beings that can reside in the x-ray spectrum or the gana ray spectrum Early and prehistoric culture, especially in the early mythologies of Cultures like Greece there was an acceptance of other worldly beings They took the form of mythological figures many of them animal and nature this knowledge of the existence of electromagnetic Intelligence exist in every culture of the planet Yep We also see it in the Hindu mythology. There's a lot of Hindu Avatars that are animal like like Hanuman is monkey Ganesh is and will have the head of an elephant the body of a boy But but yeah, so absolutely Thus in the various cultures of the world you have descriptions of fairies gnomes leprechauns nymphs Pegasus and centaurs and a host of other worldly forms These were the results of encounters between a physically aware humans in these higher electromagnetic Intelligences in some cases the form as perceived by the human was an accurate or close to accurate Impression but in most cases the impression was colored by the expectation and belief of the human But the reality of the higher electromagnetic intelligence exists independently of the impressions received Yeah, I mean that's the same thing with humans right people. I mean listen That's something I've had to learn being on YouTube people have a perceived opinion of me Just because they see me on their computer screen, which I'm so grateful you watch But most of the time it's probably what I am like in real life probably isn't what you perceive me to be I guess we go to say this once again an expression of the reality of perception and this especially applies when a being of a lower vibrat vibratory reality Interacts with beings from a higher vibratory reality. So the next section is angels Since we are on the topic. I would like to address the phenomenon Angels from our viewpoint Angels exist They are benevolent and well intended They are higher electromagnetic intelligences, however When a human encounters one of these benevolent well-intended intelligences the human may very well filter the experience through his or her expectation or belief But furthermore a point I wish to make in this discussion is yes These angels are benevolent and well intended But some are more intelligent than others and some are more masterful at creating results I have a huge loving relationship with Archangel Michael. So I get this The difficulties I view it regarding the topic of angels is that the concept is burdened and tainted by religious and spiritual dogma and misconceptions It is a wonderful experience to encounter a benevolent Intelligent and masterful higher electromagnetic intelligence This can be a deeply rewarding experience for both the human and the electromagnetic entity But the human must be aware the burden of the responsibility for what he or she extracts from the experience is upon the human and So if you interact with an angel keep your wits about you And if the angel tells you that you must do something then you are either dealing with an idiot or I'm a level on entity cloaked as a benevolent one. I agree with that because I I See angels. I've seen Michael my whole life. I talked to Magdalene not once have they ever Instructed me to do anything Especially if it's something I don't want to do or something that's gonna harm myself or another person And so if you're seeing a being that is telling you to do something that you're not comfortable With or is telling you to hurt somebody else or yourself It's not a being it's it's it's a it's a benevolent being trying to trick you So just be aware of that. In fact Michael nor Magdalene have Really ever told me to do anything. I mean Magdalene I think this series was inspired by Magdalene, but they've never forced me if I had said no I don't want to do it. They would have been like that's cool You know like our Magdalene would have been like that's cool. I said I don't want to do the playlist, you know So so yeah, that's that's something really good to know It's Shanti from Aquarius rising Africa spoken about this a lot That's how you know if it's a good being or a bad being trying to trick you into being a good being They're they're coming from a place full of love and they're not gonna have you do anything against your free will They're not gonna allow you to hurt yourself or anyone else. They're gonna give you a lot of space They they respect your free will so they don't even come in and help you unless you ask for help, right? Cuz they respect your free will all right Any being human or otherwise who would possess your sovereign will is to be avoided so any being trying to control you? I just recently had that happen. I said no I didn't want to work with somebody anymore because I found out he was doing some Shows about people who that weren't nice and weren't founded in any type of truth They were like gossip shows and hearsay shows and I said I didn't want to work with this guy anymore And I said no when I was I was um Trot they tried to manipulate me to tell me that I was ordered to do these shows by Trump Shows I wasn't paid to do was strictly volunteer on my part And I didn't I just kept saying no no no now Of course there was blowback because I said no, but that's okay. There's protection. Don't worry. There's There's authorities involved so don't worry So yeah, so anybody who tries to gaslight you or control you in that way and manipulate you in that way Even if you are working for someone you're being paid and your boss is Wanting you to do something that you're not comfortable with you still have the free will choice to say no, okay? boundaries are important Lilith was in another electromagnetic spectrum many stories were told but the encounters with Lilith Occurred in the astral realm where most but not all electromagnetic intelligence exists interesting as with humans these electromagnetic intelligence can move up into higher astral and Can also move beyond the astral into what some call the etheric plane But we simply call the fifth dimension your universe is far stranger than you can imagine. Yes, I know that's interesting I don't know how I feel about Lilith.  So I don't know. I just don't have an opinion right now because I feel like I need more information And so I'm trying to really just kind of be in that place of not having an opinion If I don't have all the information that I need to have and my guts not really giving me anything Then I leave things you right like I just I'll have an opinion at one point But right now now and I think that's kind of an important lesson Right, it's the Aristotle quote It's the it's a sign of an intelligent mind when you can entertain an idea without accepting it We can do that with people too like we can meet people or entities and not be sure whether They're good for us or bad for us and just kind of keep them there without forming an opinion until we're ready to form an opinion I think that's really important now if you meet somebody and you are immediately your gut is saying no no no no then listen to that but I do think we should also in Situations like me with Lilith like I just don't feel like I have enough knowledge to make An opinion and I think sometimes the things we see about Lilith that are bad might just be propaganda I don't know though. We've learned that there's a lot of propaganda in the world right now They're probably more propaganda actually in the truth or community than there is in the Normie community That's a sad reality Sometimes I think us in the truth their community are way more duped than the Normie so but anyway before we get into the Octurian corridor, let's take a moment from a for a brief word from our sponsors if you are like me then you Love a good face mask. No, I can't do not I have been obsessed With face masks since I was a teenager I have memories of being in high school and having slumber parties with my girlfriends and trying different face masks This is literally been something that I have been obsessed with my whole life now The problem with me is that I have very dry skin So I have to be very very careful with the type of face mask that I use Otherwise it will dry my skin out too much and that itself starts to cause some problems Well, of course, Aseah just released its own face mask It ran for a trial run last month and it looks like it's possibly Potentially here to stay now, of course once the mask was released. They were gonna be doing the mask I had to order one just so I could try it out because again girl loves a good face mask I was a little bit nervous. I'm gonna be honest with you guys I was a little bit nervous that it might dry my skin out, but nonetheless. I thought what's the harm in trying I've loved all of their face care system. I've been using up until this point. So let's just try the mask Well true story. I got the mask in last week And so that night when I got it in I watched my face I put this mask on when you which you leave on for about 10 minutes Set my bath up my night my nightly bath put my epsom salts in all that kind of stuff grabbed my Murder mystery book.  Yes, I am 40 years old So I'm kind of at that hinge age, right? I'm still young But I'm moving into middle age and so I am even more aware now about what I do to my skin as I enter into the latter part of my life Since that first time using it I've used it a couple of more times and absolutely I am feeling a difference It really feels like I have had just someone pull the skin back It's unbelievable and so you can order the mask on its own I actually have a couple more masks coming to me because I wanted to stock up That's how good this mask is or you can get the bundle along with the brush personally I have not used the brush nor did I order the brush. I just use my hands or if you want you can Order a bundle of either your personal spa all day with the with the lotion Which I do have this lotion as well or you can come over here the ultimate gift for mom We know mother's day is coming up or if you just want to send your mom a gift because you know what you wouldn't be here Without your mama or you could actually just order this for yourself But the mask again the mask is really something special because it really After the first use I noticed a difference and so did my boyfriend So this is something that you're interested in please look down in the description box below and you will see a Link to the a sea a website where you can read more about the mask or all the other products that are offered by a sea If you would like more information on a sea up What the products can do for you? What products would be best for you how to get a sea at a wholesale price then you can text? Bryce info B R I C E info To three two one two one six eighty forty seven again That's Bryce info to the telephone number three two one two one six eighty forty seven If you are texting from another country, please make sure you add plus one three two one two one six eighty forty seven Not sure if the mask is available in other countries just yet I know they're planning on releasing it to other countries, but some of the other products are definitely available in other countries So please just text Bryce info to the number listed below again All that information is down in the description box the octurion corridor many have this Described a dimensional bridge between octurions in your earth. They call this the octurion corridor For us It is simply a stargate an interdimensional portal that tunnels through the hyperspace and allows our vessels to enter Not only the area of your earth, but your entire solar system faster than the speed of light This is a necessity when moving through such vast distances The purpose of this octurion portal is for our vessels to quickly move into Position as needed and by needed I mean as determined by us This stargate this interdimensional tunnel is slowly for our vessels It is not a means to connect with us except by rare individuals When an individual has reached a level of understanding where he or she is ready and willing to make contact with an actuarian The actuarian will create a micro tunnel a smaller stargate if you will allowing the higher aspects the higher dimensional bodies of the Person to transit to the actuarian in some case it or in some cases the actuarian will transit to the human This is also the means by which persons gain access to an actuarian vessel This portal that some call the actuarian corridor is not a naturally occurring vortex It was created by us and it is sustained by us. It is part of our mission to protect life Intelligence and freedom in this sector of the universe This corridor as some call it is solely for the use of fifth dimensional vessels between earth your solar system and Octurius There are other stargate tunnels from octurius leading to other positions in your galaxy Since this interdimensional tunnel what some call the actuarian corridor is solely for the use of octurian fifth dimensional Starships, let me address the micro tunnels since these are applications to use by human beings When an individual human is ready and willing to make contact It is through one of these micro tunnels that such contact is established in most cases These micro tunnels connect the higher dimensional bodies Especially the fifth dimensional bodies of the human to the actuarian and or the actuarian vessel through which contact is established There are two categories I wish to discuss in regards to these micro tunnels The first is the region of the body and the energy field where these micro tunnels may contact The second category is the body mine activity levels required for con conscious contact Let us turn to the second category first Contact between human beings and octurians is usually confined to shift in perspective on part of the human I would be highly unusual rare and unlikely for a human being to encounter an octurian in the third dimension This is because it takes tremendous energy to shift dimensions It is therefore more expedient and efficient to adjust the body-mind complex of the human being in order to establish the micro tunnels of communication We acturians are after all a practical group and we do not like to waste energy or resources When a micro tunnel of communication is established It shifts the brain state and physiological activity of the human being in your scientific terms There is an increase of alpha activity But alpha activity is only one of the many brain states occurring during these communications The human brain is very complex in multiple frequencies occur simultaneously within your brain It is a simplistic and an accurate to say that the higher states of consciousness are related to the higher brain Frequency is exactly this is a gross misunderstanding of the human physiology and potential absolutely this goes back to What I we were talking about in the beginning with octura with the soul so the brain You know we have these ideas like we have the brain and we have the mind and we have consciousness Right, so the brain is the function of the mind of the function of the organ of the brain Which is to keep us alive to take in information Solve problems and we have the mind of the consciousness Which is kind of the overall energetic understanding of a person in my opinion The mind is a combination of the brain and the overall energetic Experience of the human. Yeah That's the tango between the Shiva and the Shakti that dance between the nature and the The soul or the ultimate right when a micro tunnel is established between an actuary and an or octurion Starship and a human being his or her perception spontaneously shifts There's a great fluidity of perception and one becomes aware of at least two realities at once The human reality and the higher dimensional reality where the interactions with the octurion are taking place in some rare Instances the individual will lose track of his or her third dimensional reality The world will seem to disappear and he or she experiences the octurion reality as the sole point of focus In these moments the human may conclude that he she has physically been taken into an octurion starship But this is not the case It is simply that the human brain was overwhelmed by the multiple multiple multi-dimensional. There's the word Nope, that's not the word multi-dimensionality of the encounter and stop tracking third dimensional reality I'm actually reading this on a Sunday. I always pre-record these and so I have been talking all mornings I taught a class this morning. Obviously, I teach classes every Sunday morning at sacred garden yoga Just a little plug here for taking guard yoga if you would like to join me in those classes If you do not live in Atlanta, Georgia, you can join me by practicing on zoom We are East Coast time the class starts at 8 30 a.m. That's New York time So I will put a link to that in the description box as well But that's why my words are getting a little jumbled up. I've been talking all morning teaching classes So all right for the individual human This means that the brain the mind are no longer receiving input from the five senses The only input occurring is what is occurring in the dimension where the encounter is taking place in Some cases a microtunnel is established by an octurion for the purpose of communicating with a specific human in some cases A microtunnel is established by a human to an octurion These microtunnels are two-way streets and it is possible to make contact with an octurion or some aspect of octurion reality They're a conscious shifting of your brain and mind. I will return to this topic in them in a moment But it will be better understood if we address the first category at this point in our discussion These microtunnels move through hyperspace and connect into your energy field What your ancient traditions call the aura but more specifically into one or more of your chakras? Most humans who make contact with the octurions do so through their third eye or crown at chakra Which means the microtunnel enters into one or more of these chakras and the subtle energies generated by these four more tests Mortices your chakras are affected by the microtunnel. It shifts It shifts gears to use a metaphor within your subtle energy body and when this shift in your subtle energy body takes place your brain and mind follow Yeah, because the Consciousness is what creates the Shakti or the experience of the moment this shift in the subtle any energy body Produces as I said an increase in alpha activity a relaxed state of awareness of the body as the microtunnel increases It's influenced in the vicinity of the chakras There will be spikes of higher brain frequencies not just gamma but beyond gamma up into the higher thresholds of the brain When an individual experience himself or herself taken aboard an octurium vessel interdimensionally One of these microtunnels will connect to the naval chakra Which causes the entire subtle energy body to enter into Residence with the vibratory reality of the spaceship Well, the second chakra is the one of creation and sexuality and creation that makes sense When this occurs the human has two parallel experiences being in the body on the spaceship Being in body and on the spaceship Being in body and on the starship Simultaneously at some point in the communication the human being might experience Himself or herself as a being solely on the starship. This has to do with shifting consciousness Awareness from the input of the body to the input of the higher dimensional body that is on the starship When in this state of body and mind the individual can receive much more information and gain tremendous knowledge in a short period of time This is because our primary means of communication is holographic telepathy and not words Thus an individual human might experience himself or herself on a star Shift for only a few moments in time as determined by the clock on your three dimensional reality But vast amounts of information and insight can be downloaded into the higher dimensional realities of the octurium vessel realities baseline realities Parallel realities alternative realities and multi-dimensional realities let's explore the nature of these classifications all Classifications of perception are relative to the perceiver all systems of knowledge including science are subject to revision Any system or classifications should facilitate the elevation of intelligence not obscure it Your embodied life in three dimensional space is the baseline of your reality This is because your nervous system references the world through your five senses Your nervous system is tuned in to the specific private or a left levels of your embodied existence Failing to do so would end in your demise as a biological being Survival is hardwired into your nervous system. It is the primary filter for sorting sensory information Thus your nervous nervous system anchors you in binds you to the third dimensional reality you live in Inherent within your nervous system However is the capacity to experience other levels and other realities that are far beyond the constraints of your biological existence Because you are a generator of quantum field activity you affect subtle dimensional realities What I mean by this is that when you take an action of the baseline of your experience Existence you set off repercussions at the atomic and subatomic levels and also in the more apparent levels of your life Let me be a little bit more specific since this this is a very abstract point If you decide to change something fundamental in your life, you will set off multi-dimensionals events Let's say you decide to move to new location Obviously at the third dimensional level you will be moving things your stuff as you call it Moving these things against the build of gravity moving them to a new location in time and space I say both time and space because your experience will be that you have moved objects through space to a new location But you will also experience moving these through time because it will take a certain amount of your time to move your stuff This is the Newtonian reality of your embodied existence in a third level, which you called third dimensional reality But let's look beneath the surface a bit shall we as soon as you have made the decision to move your mind is already creating You may have fantasies of where you are going with your stuff How will you arrange your stuff in this new environment? You might even determine that you need to acquire new stuff to an outside observer It looks like this is nothing but creative fantasy But from our perspective as a quantum field generator you are affecting the quantum realm through the power of your intention and focus called manifesting If you are an effective quantum field generator and not all humans are by any account You will facilitate the movement of your stuff in real time clock time through these creative fantasies So let's say that you have decided to move and you haven't engaged Creative thinking about your new environment. You are shaping your new reality through the power of your mind an unseen way You cannot see how your mind affects the quantum reality, but you can see your stuff It is not an either or proposition Most of you will have to physically move your stuff or have someone else move it for you But you can make you can affect the efficiency in the grace to some degree by how you think about it Let's say that in your new environment You will need a couch and you have none and you create in your mind a fantasy of finding one at the yard cell And another fantasy someone gives you one as a gift and another fantasy See you find a sale and another fantasy you find nothing and have to sit on the floor From this perspective, you could say that each of these fantasies has the potential to generate a parallel reality I say potential because idle thoughts do not create parallel realities, but if a pattern of thinking is Strong enough it will affect the quantum field and then you will have a parallel reality running Simultaneously within your baseline reality an important point when considering parallel realities is the clear understanding That not all thought creates parallel realities the thought must be sustained it must be amplified and it must be directed Three these three tasks are crucial to the creation of a true parallel reality And most human beings are incapable of such tasks. It is not that they cannot learn how to do it It's just that they tend not to apply themselves I realize that many persons reading this material are interested in manifesting higher realities and are more evolved realities and situations in their life How you address this talent in your life will determine the quality of your life the level of your intelligence and how much freedom or Imprisonment you experience Every being whether human or otherwise must address this for hand mark herself That's right because no one is coming to save you. You have to save yourself In hopes that it may be beneficial to you I will share how most octarians go go about this task the task is creating what we desire First of all we octarians believe in the power of novelty and all the accurate and all the actions We take are undertaken with clear understanding that we live in a strange and paradoxal universe We are persons of action so the first fundamental movement for us It's taken action in some way our first action is always to intellectually assess the situation from as many vantage points as possible We do this for two reasons the verse is to be as efficient as possible and comprehensive in our understanding The second is to avoid the delusion of self-importance Avoid the delusion of self. That's a lot of people need to hear that a lot of people There is a tendency for all beings It's up for the most highly aware to think that the world revolves around their choices So when we consider our actions from many vantage points as possible we get to see these possibilities and flaws in our plan We acturians quickly assess the course of action We do not remain suspended in considering all choices Once we have made a choice it becomes a mission and we will apply all of our resources to making our desires a reality through the combination of Monitoring the situation adjusting the situation as needing and learning to come the learning to And leading to it to completion During this entire process no matter how long it takes we continue to consider from other vantage points Knowing that we enter a situation with new information can change what we are doing We also understand that we are affecting the quantum realm by being single-minded in our mission We do not tend to waver change our minds We might change our approach, but this is done out of an intelligent discernment of the situation not from a collapse of will If there were anything I could say about humans and their challenges to create new outcomes and realities It would be that the most failed to sustain their action long enough to see results and From the level of quantum mechanics, they are unable to sustain the magnetizing thoughts that assist the outcome they desire alternative realities human beings have many selves one of Some of these are positive in their intent and some can be quite negative Think of it this way if you have had a very nice day You tend to be in a good mood and this colors your perception of those around you and it colors how you see the world It also shapes how you interact and the actions that you take If on the other hand you've had a very difficult day You might be in a bad mood The world looks very different to you when you are disgruntled the world has not changed, but your emotional filter has Yoga to divert the Naruto how that's a second sutra of the first part of the mind. It's the mind stuff It's your mind is controlling everything This is one of the main growth edges for human beings how to manage their emotions and their emotional filters From this way of looking at the things there are many eyes each of the eyes has an emotional totality in a vibratory rate And it creates a mental emotional reality and this mental emotional reality affects how you perceive It affects the action you take and ultimately affects your baseline reality to use the system as a reference What I would say would say is that your emotional filters are learned habits and the mastery required in this level of your being Is to choose the filter through which you wish to experience the world? Patterning we talk about that in yoga part of the yoga practice because the body is the shock the of the soul It's the expression of the soul So mental stuff the yoga system pretty new rodeo house of the mental stuff the mind thoughts It's creating specific patterns in the body that become habits And so part of the physical practice ships those patterns create new patterns the mind then creates new patterns All right, it's interesting all these different lineages these different Systems of spirituality are all really saying the same thing. They're all saying the same thing Think of these emotional filters these moods as a team of horses if they are running off in a different direction You won't move very far But if you bring them together in a constant vibratory rate You can move them very powerfully and when you move with power you affect reality The final category in this system is multidimensional realities from this way of viewing things multi-dimensional reality Multidimensionality there we go is simply the sum total of all dimensions that you live in The task or shall we say the opportunity for human beings is to become aware of their multidimensional Reality the irony is that they already possess it You already have a multidimensional nature But you have been confined and your perception has been trained to believe the third dimension is the only reality We talked in this many years ago We did a whole breakdown on stories of multi-verse where people crossed through from different dimensions I will put those videos if you missed them down in the description box below This is a subject that's really fascinating to you because then you can actually hear a vocal or in legend About people crossing over from other dimensional realities If you can be duped into believing that your physical life is all that there is and that even if there is life after Biological death that you are confined to the will of some higher power Then you have been cut off in the direct perception of yourself that is multidimensional Your life as a human being is both terrestrial earthbound and cosmic meaning with access to the entire Cosmos you are transcendent to it all. This is a vast reality It is part of your multidimensional nature It is who you are for most human beings The first step is to undo the lies that they have been told the other step is to is to have a direct experience of your mortal multidimensional reality Multidimensionality there we go then it becomes not a question of faith, but rather an Intellectual certainty next week. We'll start with Anandra the acturian Anandra All right, you guys leave me your thoughts and your opinions out in the comment section below and I will talk to you all soon
