And with that, I welcome the beautiful Anita Serene to Dare to Dream. So good to have you here. Welcome. Thank you so much for having me. I am super excited. I'm pumped too. That is quite a list that I read there at the beginning. I don't know about anybody else, but for me, that's goosebumps, predictions, omens, numerology, divine timing. And I was teasing you at the beginning. That's like having a guidebook pocket right with you all the time. So I am assuming that means people come to you and say, I wanna do this, it's the right timing. I wanna have this new career, get into this relationship. What kind of things do people come to you for? So I think the most popular things people come to me for is definitely life purpose and as well as like soulmate relationships for sure. Okay. And is it ever difficult? I'm curious. Is it ever difficult that you wanna say to somebody, well, you're not gonna really find somebody for five years or this is not gonna quite work out for you. That must be tough position to be in. Yes, it is actually. There are a lot of times where I see things, but I don't want people to think that they don't have the power to manifest what they want on earth. They absolutely do. It's just that with astrology, I'm able to see the divine timing, the higher timing of when these things are going to manifest in their lives for their highest good. So their conscious self might be like, I wanna have my soulmate come in tomorrow, but their higher self has a bigger plan and it might not come for a few years. So it is very difficult to deliver news to people sometimes. Yeah. What is, this is like so off the beaten track, but I trust these downloads when they pop in my head and this is a question I've never asked anybody, but since you have a finger on the pulse, it feels like a humanity, some kind of matrix. What is going on with people exiting the planet through suicide? Our souls agreed to be here. And I wanna say that I'm trying not to have judgment, but I also wanna say it's kind of affected Twitch, the dancer. Like I was just so shocked recently that he passed away, amazing human, incredible life he's created. And yeah, it's just in the papers first that he died at the age of 40, and then all of a sudden it came out that he self-inflicted gun wound. But this is happening, it's prevalent. Is it just hard to be on earth right now? Is it hard to be human? Like us crazies who decided we could do, be an earthling this life? Or is there something else going on? Wow, yeah. You're not the first person I've heard talk about the increased suicide rate. And I think that right now it's a particularly difficult time for everybody. And that's why I'm so passionate about my work because I feel like if we just all had a better understanding of timing, people would be more willing to hold out hope and not just give up, yeah. Wow, I feel like I want you to repeat that. People just wait for your timing, that's divine timing. Can you say a little bit more about that? Absolutely, so one thing that God has really shown me is that our life is composed of seasons kind of like nature. There's winter, fall, spring, summer. And one thing about life is it never stays consistent. You can have really good times and you want them to last forever, but they never do. Something bad happens because that's the ebb and flow of life. And it's the same thing when you're going through a depressive slump and you feel like giving up. You have to realize that it is going to end. That's not going to be your life forever. And there's this quote I really like. I forget who it's by, but it's like most people give up before striking gold. And that's how I see people who take their lives. It's really sad. Yeah, yeah, resilience is an amazing quality to be able to brush yourself off, get back. And what you're saying is basically hold on. It's not going to be like this forever, hold on. I hope somebody needs to hear this right now and whatever reason that needed to come out. And I know the world is filled with, well, there's a lot of us who are very positive and upbeat and we see what's going on as the underbelly showing itself and there's a lot of excitement because if it's ugly and it's coming up, it's going to be healed. We need to see it so it can transmute. There's other people get very scared about that stuff like, oh God, the world's going to be like this forever. I don't think it will. So yes, it will change. And I think change is the one thing we can bank on. Everything changes, always. Absolutely.  And in the meantime, if you can develop like a connection to God or your higher self, that's going to help you get through the bad times. Yeah, don't leave me for the miracle happens. Miracles are possible, absolutely. And you never know how your life is going to change overnight. Like for me personally, no one ever expected anything out of me.  I don't have a high school education. I don't, no one expected anything out of me.  I'm just going to go down a spiral.  And then as soon as I just was about to give up, something I couldn't predict happened. I'm going to cry, which is embarrassing.  I posted one tarot video and it went viral and it completely changed my life. It just from one moment suddenly it changed. So if anyone's thinking like I can't take it anymore, you never know when something is suddenly going to happen that makes life worth living. Thank you. Thanks for being transparent. That's pretty frickin' incredible. Homeless, not caring. Didn't go to the PhD education, could stay here, could die. And then you trusted to do one video. With your gifts, using your gifts, I think that's pretty essential. And boom, here you are. I actually feel that psychic gifts are kind of like a muscle. I think everyone has them. And the more you work out your muscle, the more it develops. I think if anyone did my job every day, they would develop that strong muscle and be psychic too. It's just like any other skill. Like I can never do what you do because it involves a lot of personality and that's a very weak muscle of mine because I don't really work it out. So I feel like we have natural skills that we can develop with practice. Love it, yeah. I agree, I think it wasn't... I had a psychic tell me, I've been doing the show 15 and a half years and I was about only one and a half year into it, something like that. I had a psychic on my show as a radio show and she said, I need to tell you something when we're in an ad break. Excuse me, you don't know this about yourself but you're Claire Sentient. I never even heard that word before. And she said, spend three days looking up that word and then call me and we're gonna talk. And I looked up that weird word and I was like, oh my God, this just made my whole life make sense. And it was the most freeing thing ever. Like honestly, I started playing with it, having fun with it, owning it. It was really divine timing to learn that out and it set me free. So... So what's your definition of Claire Sentient for people who don't know what that means? Thank you. And I can speak for myself. I think it can manifest a little different for other people. So I've Claire Cognizance and Claire Sentient as far as I know. And what, so Sentient means sensitive. I'm very, very, very sensitive. That means I can walk into a room. The things I know, I feel like a computer and it's not like being a psychic you can ask me a question and maybe I can answer it. It seems a bit independent and random that I receive downloads. Like somebody has plugged something into me and just information comes in. I will know things about people. I'll know things about environments. I absolutely know good people and not good people. Like I get nose about things. I'm very protected. I can smell things. Yeah. So it means that there is this ability through the sense sensitiveness to perceive and know things. And then the Cognizance is like, you know what you know. You just know these things. And once you're aware you have this and you start playing with it, it's like you really start trusting it. Oh yeah, I know that. I'm not even gonna question. I actually can see in your birth chart that what you're saying is absolutely true. And the reason being is because in astrology, when we're born, we have a birth chart which is a map of the stars in the sky from the place we were born when we were born, et cetera. The psychic houses where you can see psychic ability is the fourth, eighth and 12th house. And your moon is in the fourth house of intuition. So you are very psychic when it comes to your environment. That's why your podcast on Feng Shui really spoke to me because environment for you, you can pick up so much in your intuition just based on that. And also with your 12th house placements of Sun and Mercury, I'm even willing to say you have dreams that can be borderline prophetic or give you messages as well. Have you ever had something like that? I'd love more, by the way, universe. I'm open, I'm open. That's cool. Thank you, thank you for that feedback. I appreciate it. Yeah, it can be very spooky, but it's really fun, I think.  This one of your two videos. It was posted in April, 2018, and then bam, this trajectory, your visibility, your influence, your business. So it surprised you, but still somehow you welcomed it. You stepped into it because here you are. So talk about like, was there a transition there? Did you just go, hell yeah, I'm in, this is happening. Okay, so that's the funny thing about when you step into your purpose, you're not gonna be stressed about stepping into your purpose. It was kind of like I was working this dead-end job at a pizza place and I was such a bad employee, not on purpose that they actually wouldn't even let me like make the pizzas. I was given some like greet people at the door job because, and I just posted the video because I thought it would be fun. I wasn't even thinking about where it was gonna go. I was just like, this seems like fun. I wanna do it, it feels good. And I think that's the thing about purpose is you're just gonna feel inspired to do it. It's gonna be like this feeling of it's fun, not, oh, I want to be famous or I wanna get recognition. It's just like a feeling of this is fun. I just wanna do it. You're not even thinking about the future, you know? Cool, I'm glad you did, cause here you are. And I wanna talk about witchy things.  Cause there are a lot of people who say that these days I wanna have a better understanding. So I think in the beginning of my practice I resonated with the term witch, not so much anymore. I would term myself as more of a mystic or a seer. I think that witchcraft is really cool because witches use like herbs and intentions and material things to manifest energetically what they want in their reality. And I definitely think there's a validity to it absolutely, but I think that, you know I kind of drifted away from the term witch because I realized in my personal practice I don't really need the physical representations to manifest anymore. Not to say anyone who does is wrong. I've just kind of grown in my spiritual practice away from that. So yeah. Well, tell me more because I told you earlier and I really mean it. I have this huge fascination. I think I used to be kind of afraid of stuff like that. Like I didn't understand because years ago I assumed, well, that's dark. They do dark things and, you know I don't like anything dark. I don't wanna be involved with anything dark personally. The light, the light is very good for me. And but I've had a much greater understanding. I was introduced to somebody who absolutely is a witch and I've worked with her a bunch. I think she's, it's unreal what she can do. And I'm moved by it actually. I find it beautiful. And I love even that we're living in a time where you can say that out loud and it's acceptable as opposed to, you know in history when people got killed for it. So what do you use candles to use oils? Do you do spells? Can you make great things happen? What can you actually facilitate? So actually what's happening is the material world is a solid representation of the actual energy world that we live in, which I'm sure you know of because plant medicine kind of shows people that as well. So essentially when you use a candle to manifest what you want energetically onto earth the candle is a physical representation of the energy you want to move. So for instance, I mean, I have this candle in my basement when I was trying to manifest a soulmate and it's this red candle of a man and a woman and it's supposed to represent divine unity. And then when you burn that red candle it's supposed to manifest love into your life. And it's not the candle that manifests love into your life. It's the intention and the material 3D representation of the energy that you're conjuring around you because you know a lot of people get stuck in their five senses of seeing, hearing, taste, touch but there's actually an energetic world that we are perceiving with our five senses. And to manifest you use the material to move the energetic does that make sense? Yeah, so it's not just the oil it's not just the candle or whatever implement you're using you're talking about there's gotta be intention. And then do you also need to know how to create a spell that it's effective? No, but you know, people will disagree with me and that's totally fine. This is just my perspective. So everything holds energy. We know this from science, right? This table like right here it's not even a physical thing it's like moving atoms that I perceive as solid. So words have certain energies to them, right? That's why when you talk to rice and you say affirmations it stays preserved but if you talk to rice and you say negative affirmations it turns rotten faster, you know, it's proven. So different things hold energetic vibrations and so do colors. So if you wanted to, you know, a color red has the vibration of passion and lust it's connected to the planet Mars. So if you wanted to manifest love or passion you would be using a red candle not it's the candle that's magic it's the vibration of the red candle and your intention because simply by thinking thoughts it portrays a certain energy, right? So if you're thinking a thought of, okay this candle I'm gonna burn it and as I watch the flame burn the energy will be released and who is for me will be attracted to me that's how it works. And then how astrology comes in is you can see with the timing of astrology when it's time for that spell to come in. So I have a lot of respect for witchcraft I just don't personally practice it like I used to, so. Got it, so what are you capable of when it comes to magic or any of this what are you actually capable of? So I think I'm just capable like everybody else I think that certain people are more gifted with manifestation because they are more open and fluid in their beliefs. Actually I was seeing from your birth chart you have a really strong ninth house which is a sign of being very good at manifestation you'll notice a lot of people who get success have very prominent ninth house placements like Jupiter, Mars, Venus, the North Node. People who actually have a harder time to manifest you'll see Saturn in the ninth house or very restrictive, yeah. That would be difficult. Oh my gosh, I'm sorry for all of you. But Saturn delays but does not deny, right? That's absolutely true, yes. Yeah, I'm a hobbyist. You know, that's true and manifestation is really weird. Like there are sectors in my life where it's, I can't say it's ridiculous because thank you universe so much for blessing me. So I'm humbled by it. But it's people in my life who's like, that's not possible, some of the things just from thoughts, desire and they're so subversed. They're not this big attachment thing but man, I'll tell you one thing I am always grateful, like so grateful for who shows up, how they show up, what is offered to me for sure. And I say manifestations weird because it's inconsistent. There are other places in my life where it's more work, right? And there are places where this flow is just like goals coming in. May I ask what areas of life are easy and not easy for my research on astrology? Yes. So for me, the two places that are incredible, unprecedented really, are in the medical field. Anything almost that has to do with any kind of doctor or procedure or did it that. And I have it, like it's not like I'm a big surgery person but anything like that, it's amazing what people say, oh, you have this, I wanna offer you that, you know? And I'm just, okay, it just comes to me. The other place that is, is with gifted people and healers. I will have people come up to me at a noteware or that I've just met who say, they just gift me with so much healing, readings, sessions, that it can be like a year of them, months of them. And I, yeah, they've changed my life. I mean, so that's probably the most prominent that I'm aware of. Wow, that's amazing. That's so cool. I'm actually the opposite. It's been very rare I've had good psychic readings. Actually, I've had psychic say really awful things about me. So like before I knew I was psychic, I went to psychics and they were totally all offered. Actually, I think that's why I do like what I do because I know like the pain of like kind of having no one believe in you. And when I do psychic readings, I like to try to like bring out the best in people and believe in them on my YouTube channel. So I think that's awesome. You've, you manifest really great healers, it's rare, you know? Yes, they're magnificent and I love them all. I really like, I try to do something in return that I am good at because I believe in reciprocity. I'm not a taker, but yeah, all of this stuff. When as it happens, I just sit back. There's also a lot of synchronicity in my life that happens around my show and around spirituality. And so I watch as that occurs too. It just happened again the other day. It's like, you can't write that stuff. It couldn't happen. It's like winning a lottery. You know, I'll be introduced to something or someone, just an idea of them through somebody else. And then literally in 24 hours, they've been manifested to come on my show or something. And it's like through somebody else, I haven't even reached out and I'm just like, how is that possible? I'm so supposed to meet you. And I just, I'm a heck yes. Because you're walking your divine path, which is also very rare and amazing. A lot of people want that and they can't find it.  You have a lot of spiritual placements in your birth chart that are insanely crazy. I actually got like this message for you, of you publishing a book in like the next few years and it being super wildly successful. I don't know if that's something you plan to do, but I was hearing that you're a natural writer and if you published a book within the next like three years, it would be extremely successful. But yeah, what do you feel about that? So before I answer that, do you have any sense what the book should be about? I, no, honestly, I don't. Okay. So I've already written four books and I've had a book dancing around. And I'm, yeah, I used to put energy. What I would start it doing is I started writing after I did plant medicine, after I went to ceremony and I would just start writing and like talking about this stuff. And you know what? So I'm just receiving right now, like that was a really good message from you. That was a really good message and I should stay open because I have a lot of stuff coming that's new in 2023 that I'm very excited about, that I'm opening up to and that that may be part of what's going to unfold in this book.   And I think you're gonna like finish the book in the matter of a few months, like five months. Yeah, I really feel that. That would be me, that would totally be me, yep. I mean, I'm a book writing coach and I know people take years, God bless them. Oh, not me, but yeah, that would be me and thank you, you heard it here folks. So March 2023, if you don't hear from me as much, that's what's going on. Plus I'll be in a, I'm starting a new class, a six month class, spiritual, immersive, shamanistic and all of that. Wow, that's really cool. I know, I'm so called. I'm just answering, you know, it's not, being logical about stuff really never works.  And I just know when energy presents that feeling in my belly, that excitement, like just trust it and move forward, trust it, move forward. It's okay, it's gonna be okay. I know you're really intuitive too, was there, you know, like anything, any downloads you were feeling for my energy? Oh my gosh, will you give me time? Oh yeah, for sure. And I will, I love that you asked me. Thank you for even trusting me with that question. That is so cool. And yeah, have a little bit, but let me keep connecting.  You know, most of my work is not like personal clients. It's more like, it's more online through YouTube videos. So I haven't gotten any weird requests thus far. I think, like what did you have in mind? Maybe I can think of something. Oh gosh, I can imagine the things that people need or are curious about.  We don't have to mention names. But yeah, I'd be curious like a fly on the wall. The biggest thing is the twin flame thing.  Is he my twin flame? No, that is not your twin flame. Like I think that twin flame has gotten to be something that excuses a lot of abusive toxic behavior in relationships.   Interesting. They're gonna challenge you.  Never. Never. What other qualities? So when you're with your divine match, I mean, so these are things that I just kind of hear from my angels. I don't really have too much life experience in it yet. So I'm open to being wrong, but essentially what I heard from my angels was that your divine match is somebody who, when you're with them, you're gonna see evolution in yourself. One sign you're not with the right person is you're gonna get stagnant or you're gonna start to decline.  They're gonna make you revert to this unhealed child that you used to be, but when you're in an empowering relationship, from what I've seen it's like you're evolving, you're moving forward, you're getting better and it's not always gonna be like they're doing what you want, but they're gonna challenge you in ways where you see that you are growing. Does that make sense? I've never had a healthy relationship so I can't talk from personal experience just as transparency, but I do know about being with the wrong people and when you're with the wrong people you glow down. Spiritually, mentally, physically. It really does make sense and so, okay, it really does make sense. So much what you just said, I think was really powerful what you just said, descriptor and of course I'm thinking about my relationship and comparing some of this and so it feels good. And I just wanna tell you that one of your greatest gifts I know, so forgive me because you're huge out there.   You do not, you're so raw and real. Half the stuff you just said and we're not even halfway through the show, it's so moving to have someone be this real. So I wanna say to you, your greatest gift is this ability to just say to everybody with no hesitation and complete authenticity, this is who I am, this is what I've been through. I don't feel very great at this, I don't feel very great at that.  Like I wanna be around to watch the trajectory of Anita, it really do, because it's magnificent that you are like this. Thank you. I see that as a weakness, but I make me feel really good to hear you say that. I felt it in my heart. Yeah, and that's the most important thing I wanna say to you, so not a weakness. And I hope everybody out there is furiously writing comments like she rocks because it's true. And I harken back to something we said in the beginning at a time when people are offing themselves or depressed or whatever the situation may be because it's a lot going on in the world and a lot of comparing and a lot of I'm not and this and that. It's hard when you look out there sometimes. And then you've got someone like you who has a lot, right? You do have a lot, a lot of gifts and a lot of success and so forth. And you're also real, you're really on this journey as well. So it's a beautiful, beautiful gift. It is not a weakness, it's like a huge strength for you. Little wings, little angel wings. Thank you. Yeah, just receive, lots of love, just receive. Thank you. Can you talk about decoding messages from the universe by understanding angel numbers, animal symbolism, numerology, any other ways that the universe communicates with us? Yes, oh my gosh, I could talk about this for hours. It's my passion. So you know how you haul trucks will have animals on the side of it? Yeah. Those you haul trucks are signs from the universe.  Yeah, right. These you haul trucks will have either moose on the side or moths, each truck is different. And you'll see them every day when you're driving around this animal symbolism on this you haul truck. And when you understand the animals and the symbolism and what it means, everything in your reality is a sign of what's going on energetically. So all I have to say is start looking out for you haul trucks and when you see the animal on the you haul truck, Google what that animal means spiritually because it'll have a really big message for you. Oh boy, that's so cool. You know, that's really true. I never thought about it much, but they do have animals and I have no idea the connection. Except maybe it's something cool to look at and then you see that it says you haul on it. But that's nice that it's also a way for the universe to give us messages. What about angel numbers? I've always thought that was pretty interesting. Oh yeah, well, angel numbers will mean different things for different people. There's not like one meaning for one angel number but I would say, okay, so numbers each have like a frequency. So I don't know if this helps anybody but the number one is the energy of the sun which talks about your confidence, your ego shining. So each number has a planetary correspondence that means something different. I don't want to bore everybody with it but if you understand the energy of numbers you'll be able to interpret your own angel numbers when you see them because it's very personal, you know. This whole 1111 thing, is it like overplay? Is it for real? What's the deal? That's a good question. I think it's a little overplayed to be honest. Yeah, it came into my life like a couple of years ago out of nowhere. Just right after I met the partner I'm with now and yeah, I never really believed in it before and then every time I turned around it still happens and I see it and I know some people say it's a really good sign, it's really magical, it's really manifesting, it's really, I don't know what it is exactly. I know it's two master numbers but they say it's a number of angels and I don't know really what it's supposed to mean but it does get my attention. I was thinking, okay. Well, what do you intuitively feel like it is? You know, sometimes in the beginning when it started happening, I thought, oh, you're telling me I'm with the right person. That's what I thought because it kept happening so much. Oh, he's calling it this time. We're having this conversation at that time and it was so random. And since it still happens, maybe it's still just like, you're okay, you're in the right place, you know, doing the right thing. Absolutely. See, I do know like, I think that, so 11 is actually the number of the moon and I know that you are a life path two which represents the moon. So I feel that for you, 11-11 is definitely significant because 11 is so prominent in your numerology chart because when you put one and one together, it equals two. But for some people, I think it's just like the universe is saying, hey, I want your attention. Oh yeah, cool. Wow, that's very interesting. I am so connected to the moon, it's beyond. I mean, I could tell stories about the moon but I feel very much like a granddaughter of the moon. If I can say that out loud, but I feel super connected. Yeah. That's interesting. That's amazing. So what other ways does the universe communicate with us? What can you tell us about? So, see, there's a fine line between I think psychosis and being in tune with the universe. So I'm gonna try to explain it in a way where people can take away from this. They can interpret it and do with it what they will. Essentially, the world is your mind. Your material reality might seem like it's out of your control, it's outside of you, but everything is connected.  It's not like, oh, that's a separate person. When you meet someone, they are mirroring to you a good or bad side of yourself. And if you notice like the good things you like about them, you're noticing good things in yourself that your ego won't let you see. So it's easier to see in other people. If you are noticing bad things about other people, this is something that I had to realize as well.  So essentially the whole world is a mirror and it's all connected. Pay attention to the handyman who comes into your life. Pay attention to the nail salon you're at. Pay attention to your hairstylist because they're mirroring to you an aspect of yourself and everything in this material world is a mirror of yourself. So everything is a sign. Don't just brush things off as being not unimportant or just a coincidence, nothing is a coincidence. If you want a better understanding of what's going on below your subconscious, below your ego, start looking for angel numbers. Understand the vibration of numbers. It's the universal language. I'm so passionate about numerology. Once you understand the planetary correspondence of each number and its vibration, numbers will start to speak to you in its own language. Even with house numbers too, I will only live in a house that adds up to six or three because I understand that numbers hold such a powerful vibration. And when you see a number, it is telling you the vibration of the house you're about to enter, the car you're about to enter, even your phone number, your phone number, when you add up all the numbers, it equals a certain number that holds a vibration of your energy. So I would say, learn the language of numbers and realize nothing in your reality is a coincidence. It all provides greater insight into your soul. Yeah. That's amazing. That's amazing.  And he was very kind. And after the show, he did a bunch of crunching. He even gave me a password, like use this password to manifest for you. And so I did, I changed passwords. He said, tell me the license plate of your car. And I did, he said, terrible. And he said, he wanted me to change the number. So here's something interesting. He wanted me to change the number so my car had mercury to it, right? Five's. And so I did. I got a new license plate. And my password totally different, right? Then that has to have a softer energy to it. And he did talk about phone numbers, 100%.  I'm like, I have such a good number. I don't want to. So I'm sort of coveting my phone number. But yeah, he really said it would be better if you change it. And the house thing, yes. It's incredible what he can predict and what you guys have at your fingertips. But I have to say, here's the question. When you talk about that, for instance, my home or apartment, if I lived in one number, should be a six as well. And I think that's so hard when you're looking for a place to live, like that really limits things, right? Like, well, I can't take, I know this is a nice looking place on a great block in a safe neighborhood, but I can't take it. It's not the right number. So what would you do in that case? I love that question. I love how you're, yeah, like, wow, okay. So practicality or believing in this numbers, which has truth, but can be a little woo-woo. So I'm in a position where I'm lucky enough where I don't have to worry about children. So I can't really say, but I know like I've developed such a relationship with God and like I know how my God communicates with me that I take numbers very seriously, but that's my experience. Everyone's experience is going to be different, but I think that numbers are something to really consider like, because that's such a good question. I don't know. So what would you do? Would you, because I know he talked about a way that you can actually, I can't remember what he called it, but you could put a number. So let's say you had like, I love this place. I really want to move into this place, but it's not the right number. And I understand if it's not the right number, other things might happen that you might not like. It could get in the way of things, your health, your many things you may want to have flow instead. And so he had a way that he would patch, a number patch, do you know about that? Oh, like a band-aid.  Yeah, with something, and I don't know exactly where he would put it. I can send you his book. I would love that. Yeah, he would do this patch to, it had to be like, he was a pretty upscale guy. So it had to be a way to do it that it was really classy. And then it becomes very interesting because I live in a house with a partner. These numbers are great for my partner. So you can't really do a patch because then it affects him, but I'm positive and he may not be. So I think its numerology can also be interesting if you've got couples, families, you know, everybody's got different stuff going on. And is there like a middle ground so that you can find something that works for everybody in a household? Well, I think you can't avoid like fate or destiny. So if you're meant to experience like a bad number, quote unquote, I think that, you know, it's because you're meant to go through a struggle or challenge to grow and develop you. You know, does that make sense? I like that answer. It's not so much logically, but like I like that answer because there's a lot of room in there.  I can't do that. There's this number that, you know, you try to do so much and implement so much. And at some point, I think it's good to reel it in, which is what I did. Like I followed a lot of stuff that was recommended to me and I believe in it. I think it's fun, frankly. But then at some level, I had to go, you know, like I love living here. And it's very peaceful for me and I'm happy here. And the rest of it I'll just let go of. And I think when you say destiny and fate, I like that a lot because as we all know, choice is really what's powerful. And at any moment, no matter where we're situated, no matter what our numbers are, we can choose. And definitely go forward on that choice to make it happen. Exactly. I think numbers are just a way for you to kind of get an overline. Like, you know how when you read a book and you read the summary of a book on the back? Yeah. Well, each chapter of our life is kind of like a book. And when you move into a house that has a certain number, understanding that number is kind of like reading the summary of what's about to happen. Each number has its good sides, it's gonna bring you. But it might also have its negative sides. I think I am a little extreme where I only like stay in hotels or houses that have six or three. I'm not saying everyone should do it, but I'm saying that numbers are a good way to get a summary of what you're going to experience where you are. I like it. And I think for people, especially if you're just starting out, you haven't done this number thing, it's incredible. So do you do videos about this? So somebody who's going, I wanna know more. I'd like to have my numbers done. How would they do that? So I actually don't do videos on that because it's actually a very deeply like personal practice I do for myself. But I do say good readings on YouTube where I'm able to decipher signs and omens and the cards and give readings to people virtually, but I plan to extend to numerology in the future. Oh my God, I love it. It feels like a TV show. Okay, so I wanna go deeply into that a little bit. Signs and omens and predictions.   Would you be willing to do that for me right now? Yeah, I would love to. So sorry for which mode? Is there like a particular animal you've been seeing? Is there a particular dream? Oh my gosh, that's such a great question. So I just had something, I mean, honestly, you could have asked me that a month ago and I would have been, and I literally thank you for being psychic. I literally just had something profound happen with a bear. And I would never have thought of bears, brown, specifically a brown bear. It was in, I worked with a shaman and the shaman was taking me through a journey and I was in this cave where all this beautiful stuff was happening and she didn't even say like an animal's gonna present or she didn't at all. She was taking me somewhere else, but this animal showed and it was freaking fierce. I mean, it even bellowed like up on its legs. I was not afraid at all. I loved this animal so much and it was so there. It's like everything I'd ever wanted in life to feel protected and like there was somebody there for me and just all these safe, secure feelings. I felt with this bear. And so I just recently went out and bought a little toy bear that's on my altar so I can remember its energy and being. Yes. Wow, I don't wanna get too personal or weird but when you were talking about the bear, I kind of got, I could be wrong but I got an energy of like a father. I just kept hearing something about a father but also I was getting the feeling like that's your spirit animal as well, like the mama bear energy, like feisty, protective, but also very warm and inviting and like motherly energy but not like in a pushover way in a fierce way. Yeah, it was exactly that kind of yell. I don't know what that is that a bear does when but it actually would probably charge somebody if it was near their cub, that was that kind of but it, yeah, there was nothing menacing about it. It was all of those things you describe. Like warm. Yeah, and I did feel like that is a spirit animal. Like, whoa, I would have said lion or there's so many other animals I would have just thought of that I feel connected to but and actually on a camping trip, I was once on a camping trip like in the last couple of years and it was really hot where we were and I just, I couldn't stand the heat. I couldn't stand sweating anymore. And I said to my partner, let's just find this like river and I just got to take off my clothes and go swimming. And we pulled over, we found this great place. It was very remote. We scrambled down these rocks and I was literally undressed almost completely and all of a sudden I felt this presence and I looked over and there was a teenage brown bear wasn't a cub, thank God, because if it's a cub, the mom is close by and you're dead, end of story. But this thing was feet away from me and it was a teenage bear and I'm trying to get my partner's attention who's like in the sun on the rocks and I'm like, that is for so long. And then all of a sudden it's like, you went, oh my God, we grab my stuff. I'm nude, right? I'm holding everything up to my boobs and we're trying to run, scramble up and it was amazing because this bear, like whatever, just walked over, walked to the water, boom. And I didn't even know bears could swim like this. They're so heavy. It was gorgeous, watching it in the water couldn't have cared less. Wasn't there to hurt me at all. And I wanted so much to take video and pictures because it was right there, but in that moment you don't know what's gonna happen. So yeah, I wasn't gonna do all that, but it's presented now twice. That definitely seems like your spirit animal, your spirit being represented in an animal form, for sure. It's kinda cool. Yeah, and you know what's crazy is people with spirit animals, I feel like they think it's one animal because they like it, but sometimes it's a completely different animal. So what you can do to know what your spirit animal is, which is like your energetic vibration in an animal is you can ask the universe, okay, start showing me synchronicity in animals. What animals keep coming up that you see after asking the universe for the next week? That's probably your spirit animal. And like the characteristics involved in that animal is like a material representation of your energy. Yeah, you're totally right, Anita, because what you were saying earlier about look it up and it's really easy to look up and right after the shamanic experience, I Googled bear, what does bear mean? And specifically brown bear. And I read the description, I was like, oh God, that's so perfect. That is so beautiful that that energy would choose to be there for me and exactly what I require. So I felt, nah, I felt really seen and heard at that moment. Oh, I'm so happy. So tell me more, what else do you think as far as, well, omens is kind of a, what is an omen exactly? So an omen is like, it's essentially a synchronicity.  And you're like, I keep seeing this animal. Or like an omen is like, when you consistently see the same number synchronicity like 1111 consistently for like a week. And you're like, why is it always this number synchronicity? Anything that comes up repeatedly that you're noticing for a long period of time is likely an omen. And it's something important that the universe wants to communicate with you. All right, so pay attention, folks. So your predictions, I'm gonna write a book in 2023. I love it, not makes sense. She said, always the teacher doesn't wanna do what she teaches. And then, yeah, very close. You asked me the question about the animal, which was pretty spot on. Was there a reason for asking me that question? I was just really curious to know if you've been seeing synchronicities with animals. Yeah, so that was a big one. And anything else you wanna say? I think that's it. I just really hope I can inspire people who are listening to see numbers in animals as more than just a coincidence, but a way for the universe to speak to you and to start making your own interpretations because it'll give you like a really cool insight on a narration of what's happening in your life, which is like a movie. Yeah, because something that you say, Anita, is that common symbol synchronicity that we see every day that strengthens our gift of prophecy. So you've already said we've got the gift, you just have to use it. Exactly, I can say it better, yeah, exactly. You know, one of the YouTube videos that you have on your channel, I found it kind of interesting the title and that was ever wonder what makes you attractive. I was like, actually, I never thought about that question, but yeah, so can you dish about that a little bit? Like what makes someone attractive? I think it's subjective.  Like I said earlier, the world is a mirror and you can only perceive in others what you perceive in yourself.  Yeah, that's great. That's very nice. Yeah. People feel good about themselves. Because you probably know a lot of great people, a lot of people that you do find attractive or interesting or charming or whatever qualities that work for you. Yeah, it's really true. There's not a lot of separation. It's just maybe you don't honor it yet in yourself. That's, it's true because some people like, I could think someone's really cool and awesome and really look up to them, but I could ask like, I don't know, my sister and my friend, and they would have the opposite opinion and they wouldn't even think about the things I'm thinking about them. Each person's perception is kind of different. And I think like, and did you have something to say? I felt like you had something to say about it. Yeah, because as soon as you said that, I thought, oh, that's really interesting because if your sister and friend, you're having a great response to somebody and you're like, oh my God, isn't that person amazing? And they're like, aw. And they have some things to pick out. That's shadow work, isn't it? So then there's something in that person they don't like that they actually don't like in themselves but they haven't investigated that or healed that, right? Exactly, exactly. And that's been like my greatest tool for self-awareness. I mean, I, you know, I feel honored being interviewed by you because I know like you have, you know, life experience and probably the things I'm saying, you're like, oh, I knew that like 30 years ago, but for me what helped me with self-awareness because I struggled, I think that's why I did so many pick of cards on how people see you and what helped me was like, okay, this certain celebrity really triggers me and I don't like this about them. And instead of just brushing it off, I was like, but why? What is it about them that I don't like? I don't know them personally so there's nothing to do with them. And I started like journaling and going inward and going, okay, what I don't wanna see about myself is that's something that I do that I don't like but it's easier for me to project that quality onto someone else. So I don't know, recently that has been a really good tool for self-awareness and yeah, self-discovery.  I just wanna like be with that for a second because it would, the times when I've taken that on as a project, like, let me clean up my life, right?  I mean, we really carry around so much energetic garbage and it's amazing how easy it is to become unaware of all the stuff we brushed under the carpet that actually still exists. And I know, and I'm sure I could use another round of this in my life when I've really taken this on and just like, oh, like looked so deeply. What's my part in this? How am I like this? And in the beginning, it's not always so easy to see. Oh, I'm not like that. I don't do it like that. I'm not like that at all.  I don't know. I'm trying to think of some example, but let's say somebody's loud and it's just, oh, I can't stand this person. They're always allowed. Every time I'm around them and I'd rather just not be around them or you judge them or gossip about them. And if you really just take a moment, even a meditation or to write like you're saying and say, where in my life might, might I be showing up when I'm loud? Okay, maybe it doesn't manifest like I'm at a party socially, but maybe if I don't get my way at a bank, the way I've learned to handle it or get what I want is by being loud or with waiters or something like that.  Something like that, if you follow that line and you start to see that, there's this incredible leveling that takes place of, oh God, I do that too. Oh God, it doesn't look like how they do it, but I really don't like that quality in me. I really don't wanna be that anymore. I wanna let that go and to surrender that because there's gotta be a better way, a kinder way. And I believe that is true with all things that people do that trigger us or situations that did not work out. Like it's so much easier to see our part in the party, what we keep bringing to a party and how we're manifesting stuff to release it and make a different outcome in the future. I agree with everything you just said, like I think your higher self is a quality of everything you admire in other people put together. Whoa, that's so cool, that's so cool. Okay, I know you have more to say, but I just wanna stop on that one. Your higher self is a quality, your best qualities and all the beautiful things you see in other people. Mic drop, beautiful, please keep going. I know personally, when I was unhealed, I would always see like, cause I have a lot of trauma like everyone else, but before I healed from that trauma, I would notice like, why is it that I can't point out anything nice about people? And I realized it's cause I can't point out anything nice about myself. So when you are like, okay, who am I supposed to be in this world? What is my destiny? Who is the person I'm supposed to be? What I found on my journey of self-discovery of blooming into my adulthood, trying to become Anita Serene, is everything I admire in a bunch of different people, if I put it all together, those, that's the character of who you're meant to be in this life. And that's the fun of self-discovery.  And tell me about your name because I know you weren't born Anita Serene. I know one time, I mean, I kind of like the star girl, AKA star girl, the practical witch, that's pretty cool. And then Anita Serene, but you were born Helena or Helena, right, Faith? I don't wanna disclose my birth name, but for different reasons, but Anita is a variation of my real name. I think sometimes you don't resonate with your birth name and that's okay, you can change it. Do you use numerology to get to your new name? Actually, I didn't use numerology. It was sort of like I was going through a really difficult period, my Saturn return, I've been struggling with a lot of depression and being alone for the first time after struggling with codependency. And I was just dealing with my parents getting older and having to face mortality and just adult stresses I've never had to face before going into my late 30s and now turning 29 in two days. And it just felt so hard. So I just created this, I asked the universe what my name, I just felt like my name was out there and God delivered me this name. And every time I was going through a really difficult situation, like I just felt like I couldn't take it, I would just go Anita Serene, Anita Serene, Anita Serene, kind of like Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. And it would just be like the calmness came over and I was just brave. I was just like all those qualities I wanted to be. And yeah, that's why I changed it. So... Oh, I love that. I love so it energetically had the vibration that made a difference in you. Like a spell, yeah, yeah. Yeah. When you say you're a 250-year-old, which sea are mystic, what do you mean by that? Intrigued, what does that mean? That's the age I give my soul, which isn't like a flex or anything. I know it sounds like a flex. I just, I never felt like, you know, like I had a light spirit that just could be young and carefree. I always felt like I had the weight of a 250-year-old soul. Have you been this in a lot of lifetimes? Have you been a mystic in the sea or is this just like a through line for you in a lot of lifetimes? Yeah, I feel like I've done this in a past life for sure. I definitely do. I think anything that you pick up, I think anything that you either pick up fast or you feel dedicated to learning for some reason in this life is definitely a sign of a past life gift and talent that's like stored in your energetic being. Yeah. What about other planets? Like, I assume you believe in life on other planets. You know what's funny is I used to, but recently, I don't know, I don't know. I, but I'm open. I'm open to it. Do you believe that? So much, yeah. I was a big eye-roller forever. And then, yeah, just, I don't know. I had this huge awakening. And as soon as I did, then I started watching all these interviews on Gaia TV with people who channel extraterrestrials. And I just, I don't know my being went, God, this is truth. This is truth. And then I really opened myself to that knowledge and the universe continued to bring the tremendous, I mean, so much proof, so much. I've seen spacecraft now and I've had a lot of experiences. And yes, I very much believe it. And I was thinking earlier, Anita, when you were saying that you've kind of had these crappy readings to me, that's crappy. If somebody's just telling you bad stuff that you don't wanna hear because there's so much obviously amazing about you. And I, something I did this year is I had a galactic reading where somebody told me the inception of my soul. And then every planet I've been on since then, it leveled the playing field. Like it took any kind of Akashic reading or reading reading, like on crack, it was amazing because it made so much sense why I do what I do and some of the components of my personality and even the music I do, like it was incredible. And so I was thinking for you earlier when you're saying about the readings, like, ooh, I would love you to have a galactic reading and maybe so much of this would make sense, you know. I would love that, that I would be so open and so excited for that, yes. What's star system? Do you know if you're like from Lyria or Pleiades or? I do, in fact. So the inception of my soul is Elohim. You know what that means? What does it mean? Elohim is under God, it is the angels under God. They are the co-creators. And the first time I heard that was from somebody else and I'm like, oh, really? That's kind of, that's kind of lofty. And so I poo pooed it and it was actually a very reputable person. And then like a year and a half later, I had this galactic reading and she said, oh wow, you're an Elohim. And I'm like, okay, now I'm paying attention. Like you said, synchronicity kept coming up. So Elohim, and then when I decided to go into other galaxies, Andromeda, a lot. Antares, Scorpio, Stargate, Lyra, Lyra, Lyra, Lyra, Lyra. The name of our band is Lions of Lyra. So a lot of time with the lion people. That makes so much sense to me. Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Constellation, Pleiades. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. I, and I right now in this life feel very strong. Connection to the Pleiadians.  Like Atlantis and stuff like that, like ancients. Lemuria. Yeah, Egypt, which makes so much sense, Temple of Isis. Cause I feel strong connection to Mary Magdalene. I feel very strong connection to sacred sexuality.  Yeah, I really felt that when you said Egypt, I was like, oh, I can see that, I can really see that like Cleopatra energy. Yeah. Yeah, beautiful. Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna making notes too. I wanted to ask you about that and I'm gonna ask you about that, but I'm gonna make notes cause there's a couple of things I wanna connect you with after about the book and then the galactic reading. Yeah, so I noticed and I kind of love this. So I noticed while you're talking to me and just talking in general and sharing with the audience that you're writing and that pen is always with you, I already feel this is a huge part of your process. Can you talk about that? What you write and what that is for you? Honestly, it's just, it helps me be more present.  It just helps make, help me be more present in the conversation. So I wish I could say I was like doing something like and she's like, yeah, yeah, I have, I have anxiety. I'm sure people with anxiety can relate, like, you know. I, look, honey, I totally, I'm like, are you serious?  And I agree, it does, it allows actually me to be very present with you, but at the same time I'm taking care of business, you know, it's a good guide. So, no, I like the list thing. I like that. It is, lists are good. I'm all about it. I swear, my boyfriend makes so much fun of me and I'm like, dude, I would forget everything. Like, lists keep me on track. I'm a bit of a, I'm a little bit of a free spirit. And so it's a very grounding discipline thing for me that I can actually fulfill my shopping list and I can actually, you know, my to-do list. I have to do that to set up my day because seriously, I'd be out, I don't know what I'd be doing, but it's a good grounding mechanism. Absolutely, people who don't do lists are the crazy people. That's right. List people unite. Yes. Okay, so I wanted to ask you also about ascension. What is your understanding about what's going on right now with ascension? I just, I feel like intuitively, energetically, we're just entering a time where we're all connecting with our idea of God and like that's been a universal theme. So for some people it's gonna be, you know, like I'm collecting with their home planet or star system. Some people it's connecting with meditation. Some people it's God. You know, I think this is a time of healing where we're all collectively connecting to our own personal idea of God as a way to heal. What do you predict is coming up? What's 2023 gonna be like and beyond? I feel personally like, hold on to your panties because I feel like this change is not gonna stop for anyone or anything. Like we're deep in it and not, I mean, look at me. I'm doing the predictions, forgive me. No, I'm so curious to know what you're feeling too. Okay, thank you. That's so kind. And then we wanna acquiesce to you. So yeah, I really sense there is a lot coming down the pike and I don't mean that to sound like dread. It's gonna be terrible. I think there's a lot of change. Most people don't like change, but you know, welcome to being human. It really is what it's all about. You fall in love, you fall out of your love. You get married, you get divorced, you know? But you know, you have friends, sometimes you choose not to be with them and you get other friends. Life is about constant change. So yeah, sorry, sometimes I hear things. So what I'm hearing is it's really important, the skill of letting go and surrender. I am working on this one. I swear, big time, it hasn't been my strength. But I think letting go and surrender, having a sense of flow and just going with the flow is gonna be really big and not having, not putting labels on things. This is happening, this is bad. This is happening, it means bad things because it really doesn't. I think it's like if we were in a statue and we're inside chipping to get out and be born, to be free, to be like literally, you were talking about how beautiful and powerful we actually are and to be that, to be all of that. And that there's gonna be some life stuff to go through and some earthly stuff and big humanity stuff collectively. I really think it's gonna keep coming and just to let go and trust.  That's everything about how you be with you and how you, even with the clerk, in a register or somebody on the street or an elevator, like that kindness can be ripples right now. It is so important how we show up, my 25 cents. I completely agree with you. Yeah, and honestly, everything I had to say was very much in alignment with what you said. I think if you have something to offer to the world and you're a healer, for now until the next four years, put yourself out there because the light that you offer could help someone from, like we said earlier in the show. From losing hope. So this is the time for healers and for us to shine and help people transition away from the tragedy of the last few years. Yeah, absolutely. I know, and I know people feel like, I need a break. I need to coast for a while. And I, yeah, take a vacation at the beach for sure. I do whatever you need to create that, like you can create that. Don't look to the world to create that for you, but yeah, do what you need to do and it will really help. And if you can't meditate, then, I mean, I don't know that meditation is for, and everybody, I have difficulty meditating, just like getting my particles relaxed in one place, but I do other things to chill out, chillax. So find your thing, you know? Could be walking, could be in the forest, it could be music, could be a doggy. So that's cool. Yeah, I have a dog named Lisa. She's my best friend, yeah. Is she the cutest ever? She is the cutest puppy, best friend dog ever. Animals are the best. Oh, my dog is my best friend too. I love her so much. I can't even believe how much love you could have for a creature. Oh. What kind of dog is she? Shelby, she's a girl and she's a cockapoo. And she's so cute. Honestly, everywhere I go, everybody knows her name, not necessarily mine, like Shelby, they love her. She runs right up to people and gives them hugs, so outgoing, so extroverted, full of love, joy, happy, happy all the time, hilarious, very fun. Yeah, she's fierce. And yours?  What kind of dog is she? I think she's like a lab, just like one of the giant mixed dogs. And what color? White. So you said she's hairy, she's got long white hair?  She sleeps with you? No, she's kind of independent. Sorry, my snow shovelers are outside of my house, they didn't tell me they were coming, and they're calling my phone to, because I have to pay them, so. They're like, there was like a blizzard, and I didn't know they were coming, and now they're like calling my phone, and like, snow looking at me. I'll tell you what, I'm gonna handle it on this, and I love it. First of all, you should bring them on the show, I'd love to have them right now, because that would be hilarious, these guys with caps, and I'm sure big, burly coat. You pay them, and I'm gonna start talking, how's that? And then you come back when you're ready. So we're just gonna do things in reverse, so it's kind of perfect, right? We go with the flow, this is what surrender looks like in the moment. Here's what I want you to know about Anita Serene. Anita's gonna be speaking at the LA Conscious Life Expo. If you have never heard of it, ma-ma-mia, where have you been? So this is gonna be enlightenment, and for those of you who've heard of it, welcome back.

And it is this collection of some of the greatest speakers, seers, mystics, names that you know, huge names. And so it's going to be in the show notes, so you can join us, because it's a really long URL, I could say it out loud, but you won't love me, it's really long. But it's a Conscious Life Expo, it'll be in the show notes, you can just click, you can get tickets. Now here's what I want you to know. You can fly in from anywhere, 15, at least 1,000 people attend through the weekend. It is off the hook, I never, never, never miss it, and I'll get to see Anita, she'll be doing her thing. And if for whatever reason, you're in a position wherever you live or your situation, I can't get away those days, then you can live stream it. So you can get tickets, no matter what, I can promise you every hour, there's somebody else doing a presentation or a talk, it's so cutting edge, and it's like this enormous download of yummy information and incredible people you want to know, work with, follow, or just enjoy them for that weekend. So did you pay your people? Are they good? I just sent them a Venmo, so it's all good. Yay. All right, and thanks for dealing with that snow, people. So tell us what are you talking about? What's gonna be your deal at the Conscious Life Expo? So I'm going to be, if you want to learn the language of numbers and start making interpretations in your own life about the numbers that you're seeing, what they mean, I'm going to be teaching about that, and also common animal symbols as well. How beautiful, okay.  Yes, I am the whole weekend. And you'll have a booth as well? I am speaking for two nights, I believe. I know I should know. But I'm going to be there the whole weekend. So you'll see me, if I'm not speaking, I'm going to be walking around, taking in the information of the other speakers there, so. Totally. Yeah, and it's no problem, because if somebody just clicks on the link, I'll have in the notes, you will see immediately all the speakers, you could actually click on their faces, you'll see Anita there, and it will say exactly when she's speaking, what she's speaking about, what room she'll be in. So it's all handled for you, you don't have to figure anything out, they've got this. If somebody was in a situation, and they wanted to ethically attract somebody that they desired, and I kind of love this, I just find this all really interesting, how can we use essential oils to do that? And I emphasize ethically, I really believe in that, right? Well, I would say that Jasmine oil, yelling, I can't even print it, Lang Lang oil, but it's spelled Y-L-A-N-G oil. Those were, those are the oils to work with, they are natural aphrodisiacs, and if you wanna sprinkle some of that oil on top of your red candle for passion, it will definitely work. Okay, and to make contact with our spirit guides, any recommendations? Plant medicine, yeah. She'd said to somebody she knows uses it. No, no, no, I used legal, well not medical, legal marijuana, where I was, it was legal, and I actually connected to my spirit guides by marijuana, so yeah, yeah. That's so cool, I would not have considered that, I would have, yeah, that's kind of cool. Did you say something to create that happening, or did it just happen on its own? No, like I've never smoked weed, I mean, I know a lot of people are like this, it's not just me, but some people might work for you where you don't smoke weed and it's not fun, you don't get, you don't laugh, you don't get the munchies, you just get downloads that are kind of terrifying. Some people, that works for them, but for other people it doesn't, everyone's different. Interesting, and our birth date, when you're teaching numerology, it actually reveals our special talents, is that right?  And you figure that out by adding your months, your day and your year all together? Yes, like for instance, December 17th, 1993, right? One plus two plus one plus seven plus one plus nine plus nine plus three equals, and that number that all of your numbers equal up to is your life path number. And your life path number, now typically, let's say it's a 14, you'd add the one and the four. So you'd always add those numbers together to get a single digit, and the only exception, and I want you to correct me, is a master number that never gets added together. Master numbers are 11, 22, 33, correct? Yes, absolutely, so the only ones that you wouldn't reduce are those numbers, 11, 22, and 33, those are master numbers.  Yeah, yeah. What does that mean? So that seems pretty big time. Yeah, I don't think like anyone is more special than the other person. I just think it means you have like, you feel like you have a greater burden when it comes to lessons, challenges, or you put a greater burden on yourself to do big things. So I think Kim Kardashian has a life path 22. And it's like you can see that pressure of the 22 on her shoulders by how ambitious she is. I think it's just, it's like a heavy energetic number that can either pressure you into greatness or it can completely crumble you. So I think it just means like heavier weights. Do you think that one's ever gonna find consistent love, like healthy, consistent love? Women? Kim, Kim Kardashian. I don't, I mean, I don't know. I really don't know her personally. So I don't, I don't want to say, like I don't want to comment on it because like, yeah, I don't know her. I just, yeah. All right. I thought maybe you'd done her numbers or something. No words. No, no. So this is Dare to Dream. What do you, Anita, next Dare to Dream? What are your future dreams and goals? I want you to have a family. Yeah. I want a traditional home. I want a family, yeah. And then have kids and babies. That's what I want. I love that for you. Yeah. I want to come to your wedding. I don't know if I'll have another wedding because that's embarrassing. That would be my like third wedding, but I'll probably like a lope, but yeah. Then I want to see the pictures. Okay, I'll send you the pictures. Okay. I love that for you. That's a really cool dream. And I get that. And I especially get that when you've come from trauma and you maybe haven't had that, then you have that sense of home and stability and that ongoing connection and anchor. I really love that for you. That's exactly, it's like you read what I felt and put it into words, which is really cool. Like to have your mind read. Yeah, that's exactly what I want. Yeah, I can relate actually. I can resonate with that a lot.  So she's on TikTok and she's at her name, Anita Serene. Is there anything else here that you want to say at the end? I know your 2023 is going to be better than your 2022. I feel it and I saw it in the stars for everybody and I'm not just saying that. I'm not a sugar coated reader. So if 2022 sucked, 2023 is going to be better. Yeah. Thank you for that great news and thank you so much for coming on the show. You've been a joy. I've really enjoyed this.

In this video, we're going to talk about a $2 penny stock, which could be the next Netflix. We'll go through the information and we'll have a direct approach. No waffle, we'll just get right into the information for you in this video. I've got to say I'm not a financial advisor. And when I say the next Netflix, I'm not saying it's going to reach that price in that sense. I'm just saying that this has got a good contendership in terms of the area that it's involved with and some of the fundamentals which we'll go through in this video. Some of the fundamentals in this company will go through all that and some of the potential that this company has as well going forward. This is a penny stock that could see some growth. It has had a rocky past, but I think actually they've got their strategic direction in order now and I think they've got a lot of potential. If you could leave a like on the video, that's also appreciated to help out the channel, really help out the small channel grow to 15,000 subscribers, that'd be much appreciated. Let's go into the content. So the company that we're talking about today is called CineDime. Now, who are they? So for more than 20 years, CineDime has led the digital transformation of the entertainment industry. Today, CineDime entertains hundreds of millions of consumers around the globe by providing premium content, streaming channels and technology services to the world's largest media, technology and retail companies. So again, this is involved in this content distribution area okay, CineDime's library as well. So how many do they have actually under there in their library? So they've got over 52,000 films and TV episodes on offer and array of entertainment choices from award-winning documentaries, Stardustorys and Grand Brick in new series to anime, horror and cult classics. So they've got a range of content on their platform, the CineDime platform, which is fantastic to see and that's got a lot of potential here. They've also been acquiring some of the companies which we'll go into in a moment which is massive for this particular company because as they acquire more, they become a stronger company, particularly as it pertains to acquiring more and more of a library in terms of what they've got in the library. Right, now, just to go into this further. So CineDime powers custom content solution to the world's largest retail, media and technology companies. The company provides premium feature films and series to digital platforms, including iTunes, Netflix and Amazon, Cable and satellite providers, including Comcast, Dish, Network and Direct TV. So it's a bit different from Netflix in the way that it's doing things, but I think that in terms of it being involved in this content entertainment area, I think it's got a lot of potential as a business. They also have major retails like Walmart and Target. They're an over-the-top channel business currently with nine channels under management that reach hundreds of millions of devices. Okay, so it's now working closely to develop plans and forge partnerships to release entertaining content in China as well. So they're expanding their market and of course China's got a massive population. So if CineDime was able to get into China or provide some content in there, I think that could actually be beneficial to CineDime's revenue as well, going forward. Again, the revenue at the moment is nothing to shout about. They have actually been on a decline from what they was at the past, but I think now that they've got the strategic direction in place and new acquisitions that they're forging and new strategies that they're developing, I feel that they've got a lot of potential going forward actually. Okay, and every company can have its good points and bad points in terms of history. So it's important to notice that. So who have they acquired? So they've acquired Screenbox, which is a popular streaming service for horror fans. So it's today announced that it acquired Screenbox. Okay, it features a broad mix of content for casual and die-hard horror film fans. I liked with films and episodes, delivering every type of horror imaginable. Okay, with more than 1.1 billion in the box office revenue in 2019 and estimated 2.3 billion in global revenues, the horror genre is one of the most popular and profitable genres in the entertainment industry today. So they've acquired this company and they've acquired all the content and the library, leveraged substantial horror and thriller content, library app technology and match point distribution platform. So they've got this content, they've acquired the content, they've acquired the company and they're just then growing the amount of content that they've got under their company. And ultimately the horror industry is a growing revenue industry. It's one of the most popular genres, which is actually reflected in the estimated of 2.3 billion in global sales. So this company has got a lot of potential here going forward. So what have they got? So they've got experience management teams. They've got deep content rights library. So in terms of all that content that they have, leading independent multi-channel distributor, leading in OTT streaming, first US China independent studio. So again, they're trying to actually bring their content and bring what they can offer into China. And then obviously that just opens up a huge market for them as well as a company. Channel and app development and digital delivery. So the developing apps, they're making the digitizing what they're doing essentially, which is really good to see. And another point is that they have, CineDime is actually dominates the market share amongst independent studios. They have the largest market share for an independent studio. So we always talk about, we like to bet on the leaders in a specific area. Well, they're the leader in terms of amongst the independent studios as well. So that's important to know when thinking about this particular penny stock. So what are the benefits? So you've got a huge amount of content, which is really good because it gives it a good value proposition as a company. Then it's also got a strong strategic direction with making these acquisitions, with building their brand and with trying to actually get into China as well and actually do business there as well as many other areas as well, many other countries. So that tells me that we've got a strong strategic direction. They've got a lot of ambition to really grow the revenue and grow the amount of people that'll be watching the content. So a huge amount of content and a strong strategic direction for the business. Now, you can see here, we've got an analyst prediction. So this is on CNN business. So it's currently at $2 and the analysts have it at a low of $3, a medium of $3.25 and a high of $3.50. Now, you'll notice that many times the actual analysts get it wrong, okay? They actually sometimes they get it wrong on these penny stocks because of that volatile, sometimes they get it wrong. So this could shoot up to $10 to $12 to $8 to $6, right? Because of the volatility, all it needs is some further catalysts, some further acquisitions, some more good news coming out than this stock would go through the roof. So again, we've got to bear that in mind that it's really hard to put a price point on a penny stock because of how much they can run up and how volatile they are overall as well. But it's a good interest in benchmark that you've got these analysts saying that it's actually 62% cheaper than it should be, okay? And it's got a lot of potential to move up. Again, this could be a medium to long-term hold to try and get a 5X on this current price point, okay? And I think that, look, if they're developing their strategy, they're building their content, it's got a lot of potential. Now, again, you can see here, $2 at the moment, it's actually up pre-market to 218, up 9%. Again, I think that this could, in the short term, blur past $3, okay? And I think in the medium to long-term, it could 5X, okay, from the $2 mark. So looking into this, it may be a potential buy because again, I'm not a financial advisor, you do your own research, but just think of it, I mean, look, market leader in the independent studios, lots of content, strategic directions, good management team, acquiring companies, large content portfolio. There's a lot going on with this stock that is of good benefits. Now, the only thing is in terms of a concern that isn't a benefit, right, it's a concern, is that they need to start growing their revenue more because I've, you know, there's not, I didn't put the revenue on this because it's not much to shout about when it talks about the revenue because it has been declining a little bit, but that's in relation to actually the current price of the stock, right? So it has declined, but also the share price has declined with it. So, you know, bear that in mind as well. So you're getting a much cheaper stock even though the revenue has declined, okay. But it, okay, it may actually improve in the future because it's got the foundations as to when it could improve as well. So there's a lot of potential in this stock, okay. So thanks for watching the video. If you did enjoy it, then do leave the video a like. It does help out the channel. So smash that like button and I'll see everybody in the next one.


Ow! Let me explain. Pretty much every tall tale around pumpkins and carving them for Halloween has two or more alternative endings. I felt like I was in a choose-your-own-adventure book while researching this. It is absolutely bonkers, but totally fun. It's pumpkin carving madness! Today on eccentric nature. And now pumpkins and Halloween. Okay, I'm gonna try and break this down as clearly as possible. Basically, the whole brouhaha about carving pumpkins and having jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween stems back to a saw-in ritual and stems back to the story of a really big jerkfish named Stingy Jack. Oh, and believe me, he earned that title. The story of Stingy Jack. Jack was a total alcoholic prick from Ireland who was supposed to kick the bucket, so the devil came to collect his soul himself because he was a total manipulative prick and the devil would kind of respect that, I guess. Well, apparently Jack was also very suave and persuasive because he convinces the devil to hang out with him and get a drink before he has to go. And in some versions, they get properly sloshed. So it comes time to pay the bill and Jack is like, oh man, I totally forgot my wallet. You think you can cover the tab for me Satan, please? Oh, oh yeah. How about this? Why don't you turn yourself into a coin, then jump into my pocket and like, yeah, pay for the drinks with yourself. How this works on the devil, I got no freaking idea. But it does. The devil turns himself into a coin and then jumps into Jack's pocket. The problem is, is that Jack, being a wily jerk-off, has stashed a cross in his pocket so the devil can't escape. So not only does Jack skip out on his tab and not pay his bill, but he ends up forcing the devil to give him 10 extra years before the devil will come and claim his soul. Now in some versions, Jack only gets one year and he uses a snazzy silver cross to interrupt the devil. While some of the versions of this story have the devil really being a complaint and utter dunce. As he's actually heard of Jack's reputation for being incredibly devious and goes to see if this is true and yet still gets tricked. Yeah, that's bad. The devil returns. Okay, part two of the story. The devil returns to claim Jack's soul.  I'm just a little bit hungry though. You think you could climb that tree over there and give me an apple, man? That would be so awesome. You're the man. You're the devil. Devil man. The devil does it and you probably know what's coming. But depending on the source, either this never happened at all or happened one of two ways. The devil climbs the tree. Really smart there, Beelza dud. And either Jack carves a cross into the tree or was extremely quick with a hammer and nail because he hammers across or possibly a bunch of crosses on or around the tree. Now apparently this works because the devil then couldn't climb down the tree or jump. I guess the crosses act like a super glue. Regardless, Jack barters with the devil again and gains himself another one or 10 years of freedom or convinces the devil never to take his soul again. Which is really important because that comes into play in phase three. Jack dies. Bum bum bum. Here we go again with more confusion depending on the source. Either Jack dies from liver disease and drinking too much or he just up and dies for some unexplained reason. And according to most sources, this happens before his 10 years are even up.   Get away from me Jack. You bad man. Or because of his pact he tells Jack. Sorry dude I promise not to let you into hell. So yeah man maybe try God. See how he's feeling. So Jack ascends to the pearly gates and St. Peter is like are you kidding me? You can't come in here. You've been far too much of a Mr. Meany naughty man. It's heaven dude. Now this version makes more sense overall because without the devil making a pact not allowing Jack into hell it seems kind of crazy that he wouldn't. And you'd think the devil would be all hey Jack. You finally died. Great to see you. Have I got a great list of tortures planned for you. This is gonna be just tons of fun for me. Prepare to suffer. You know what I mean? So with nowhere to go Jack is banished to wander the earth for a turn of teeth. One way things pan out according to the folklore is that the devil actually does respect Jack for being a wily trickster like himself. So as Jack's going off into the darkness the devil hands him no wait tosses him or throws at him an everlasting coal ember from hell to help light his way. Jack then finds a turnip carves it out and uses it as a lantern. Starting to sound familiar.  It's not terribly clear in most of the versions. Jack in purgatory. So pitiful old stingy Jack is doomed to wander the earth. Some say this has its origins from all saints day where Jack symbolizes the Christian souls who are stuck in purgatory or possibly from the tale of the wandering Jew who taunts Jesus and then is forced to walk the earth until the second coming. As word got round about the legend of Jack people started calling him Jack of the lantern for obvious reasons which of course was then shortened to Jack-a-lantern. There is a reference in the general dictionary of provincialisms talking about the two meanings for Jack in the land thorn. The first equates it to the old legends of the willow the wisp. The second regards the traditional carved turnip. Now people started carving their own turnip lanterns for various reasons.  So people carved turnips and potatoes and in some cases even beats to scare Jack and other evil spirits away. Now some people say they carved lanterns to symbolize the one that Jack carried. Others do it as a means to help guide wayward souls home and really it just depends on who is telling the story. Pumpkins for turnips? So how does all this get back to pumpkins? I mean if you're trying to scare Jack away stick with the turnip. Those are freaking scary. Well this is when we move over to America. As the Irish migrated in greater numbers to the US of A they of course brought their traditions with them and sure enough turnips were available. However they weren't nearly as cheap as pumpkins and noticing the trend pumpkin growers started breeding pumpkins to make carving even easier. Now this is all simple deduction as there's actually no hard evidence as to why people started using pumpkins over turnips. Other cool pumpkin carving connections. Part of Jackal lantern's connection to Halloween is believed to go way back to the Celtic practice of placing their ancestors skulls on their doorsteps or sometimes on poles during Salwan. They would also place a candle in them as well. In Ireland they carved pumpkins to represent their patron saint Bridget of Kildare. There was also an 18th century tradition from Worcestershire England using turnips called Hobarty's Lantern where they also carved faces on them and put candles inside as well. Okay what's with all the turnips let's get back to the pumpkins. Carving pumpkins slowly picked up steam until eventually they became the primary carving item of choice. Oh dear god stop doing that! And it was finally in the 1960s that John Howden finally created the Howden pumpkin varietal which is still the pumpkin of choice for carving. Political Jackal lanterns. There was a time when Jackal lantern was used to describe political policies as a deception that will lead to nothing but misery and ruin. The most famous use of this was by Amos Tuck who is credited with starting the Republican party in America. He castigated Democrats for their jackal lantern fantasies of little dictators. Solid burn. And now the completely different version of Stingy Jack. And if all of this isn't enough. Yeah there's a completely different version of this story outlined in the Dublin Penny Journal in 1836.  It's an angel. And because Jack helps him out the angel grants him three wishes.  First first wish he tells the angel he wants anyone who uses his favorite chair to be stuck there until he releases them. Really that's your wish. Next anyone who grabs something from his sycamore tree in the front yard will be stuck there until he releases them. And yep the last wish he wastes on his toolbox for the same purpose. Oh my gosh seriously you could have had eternal happiness or anything that you want. But nooo Jack chooses to stick people to things like flight paper. Now in this version when it's Jack's time to die he starts off by sending a demon to come collect him. And the first demon gets stuck in that chair. Then Jack negotiates his extra time. A second demon is sent and gets stuck in the toolbox. Bright demon. More time negotiated. Finally the devil has had it and comes himself. And Jack gets the devil stuck on the tree. No crosses needed this time. In return for his release the devil promises no hell for Jack. Jack dies.  He can't get into heaven. And you know the rest. So had you heard of Stingy Jack before? Or maybe even another version of this tale? Let me know in the comments down below. If you want to learn some more crazy myths and superstitions about plants or herbs then watch either of these awe inspiring videos right here. Please be kind, take care of each other, and have fun carving those pumpkins. Oh god! Jesus, he's stopping already, it's so freaky!


On this topic of marginalising working-class learners while trying to give them an advantage, we learnt more from Penny Vingevold of the Joint Education Trust and CISA-Shongwei of the Khau Teng Education Department. It is often said that many black learners tend to underperform because their own experience of the world is simply not represented in the planned curriculum. John Gueltig took this up with Penny and CISA. One of the reasons why black kids not in South Africa only but worldwide tend to underperform is because their knowledge, their experience isn't represented in the curriculum. I think very often the response then of people is to say, okay, let's put a lot more of the experience of black kids in the curriculum.  I think that the jury's out on that one. I certainly think that there's emerging evidence in the United States that that further marginalised black kids. Can you give us an example of that? Well, you know, I think that the people over the years where that has been introduced, it hasn't really taken. And whether it's because parents are reacting against that and saying, well, that's not middle class. That's not what the whites are doing. But certainly parents and kids are demanding to do the central thing. That's the Gramscian point. Did you want to do what is middle class knowledge that's going to get you the jobs? I go back to what I was saying is that the way through that might be with the kinds of knowledges or the experiences that inner-city kids have had. But you don't leave them there. You don't say that all you're going to have is black studies. You know, you've got to go move on to world studies as well. Even if black studies is the route to which you get the destination. I would agree with that last part. The fact that if we're talking context, making use of context that occur in areas of experience of particular learners, fine, mathematics problem, making examples of things that are very close to learners. But I still feel that the concepts themselves transcend all that. If you look at numbers and the way in which we globally deal with numbers, those concepts, they remain the same. And hence the experience of America that the minority people felt is still a student. What you seem to be saying really is that what teachers do need to do is create an experience in the classroom that isn't alienating. People must identify with the curriculum, but that doesn't mean you must change your curriculum goals. So your curriculum goals must still be some sort of universal understanding of the world, of universal principles, and not just specific local contextualized ideas, although that might be the route through which you move to get there. You see, like I can use an example from language and communication. I was very moved this week by somebody who had been through the very awful bunch of education experience. And now I wanted something different to his children. He comes along to OBE and his child gets taught that she's going to be taught communication. And all she's done so far is oral work. Now, if African culture means oral work, I say put a stop to that immediately. We all need the beautiful, beautiful stories, all of us of our culture. But we are in a literate and highly reading and writing dense world now. If you're going to say to me, I'm going to now make sure that I teach the short story genre through Indebelli, Bessie Head, and European writers. Then I say, write on, that's it. But because you want to bring every South African should be reading the Indebelli short stories. But that requires sophisticated reading levels and thinking skills. And I think that's what Cézanne is saying. Let's keep the endpoint in view and make the kinds of the content a little bit more relevant. But let's not drop our goal. Finally, though, we need to remember that no matter what the prescribed curriculum specifies, the life circumstances of learners will greatly influence how much is learned and the quality of that learning. The learner's life chances and work choices will probably also differ considerably depending on the learner's life circumstances at home and at school.
