Hello everybody. This is just a little quick introduction to this video before we bring on our friend Cindy Of course, I've joined here with Stephanie and we just thought we'd hop on before I do an intro because we wanted to really Try to make a point that I think we've been trying to make for a really long time And sometimes I feel like we're talking to a wall I know most of our friends watching right now understand what we're saying because we literally have the coolest subscribers and the whole universe But we're gonna be talking about the history of Halloween today with Cindy which is something I've covered before in the past as well and Stephanie and I we talk all day off-camera about what's going on and it's I Don't know how to say this nicely.  You're still dead asleep to the Matrix I've said on multiple videos and I'll keep saying it again Tom blue in the face because this is just science Darkness cannot create anything Only the light can create So everything that the darkness has used Was created for us by the light So why are we gonna destroy everything? Just because the darkness used it does that make sense Stephanie am I making sense? Yeah, I'm I'll put an analogy to this or an example When we have negative energy that's stored in our body, you know for talking about the energetic body and shadow work Right or facing our shadow cell or transmuting the energy to bring out the better side of ourself to learn from the experience to Transcend right that the whole point is to take the shadow and into shine the light in the shadow to work in the shadow, right? It's the same thing same thing. It's just a holiday if you're taking the energy that has been of a Holiday that's been used and manipulated like the shadow self, right our shadow self is the side of us We don't want to face. That's that darker side of ourselves. We all have it and then We're taking that holiday and we're restoring it and transmuting the energy and Taking it back. That's taking back your power And Using it for the greater good of humanity. I don't find anything wrong with that. I'll ask you this Stephanie Did Satan create Halloween? No, in fact, if there's a holiday Satan created that was Christmas. Yeah That's Mithra's day and In Cindy's gonna go into the nitty gritty of Halloween, but it is actually a very holy day very holy Well, I would I wonder she's gonna talk about The day of the dead which we see in Latin America and that's not what we think it is It's an honoring of the of our answer is an honoring of those who who've gone before us This time of year that Halloween falls on the fall time This is my favorite time of year and this is when the veil is the thinnest God made it that way The Creator God our God made it that way For a reason, you know, we look at these scary costumes and all that kind of stuff guys That's not satanic. If you do your research People would dress up in scary costumes Cindy might get into this to scare away the demons Because the bell was the thinnest so it was a time they recognized that they could communicate clearer with the spirit world But in saying that they knew that the demons could also come through too.   I truly truly miss a lot Cuz I never had anything against them ever we're actually a very like and he would open the door and go oh My goodness look at you guys and the dogs be barking off the wall You know because the dogs we had yippy little dogs and and he would just be so cute with the kids Not only were the kids lighting up from his expression in the way he presented himself But he had such joy with interacting With the children Such joy in his you could see it in his eyes. He he would light up his total like cuz he was You know I in my opinion I think he has some depression and he would be so he's always happy when he's around little kids cuz they just let him Yeah, the innocence of it all and I I miss I miss that Actually, I really miss that we don't get trick-or-treaters on my street. We listen I every year I buy candy in the hopes of having a trick-or-treater But I live in midtown so it's mostly adults here But I would love to be in the position to be able to pass out candy to kids Can you imagine the two of us doing that together that would be hilarious? I would have so much fun like that. Oh my gosh Yeah, and I know Cindy's about to sign on to go deeper into but I'm just begging you guys We don't want to go from one cabal to another cabal.  Holy are now wrong and so we got to get rid of them Lucifer is the god of destruction So I ask you if you're reveling in destroying people's happiness and destroying the laughter of children and destroying a Holiday where 99% of the people are not hurting anyone. They're just having fun Then who what God are you serving? We need to have a form of um, how I put this Again, it goes base to Intent it's all about intent You know the words you speak are actually spell castings. What's the intent behind it? Is it to do harm or is it to show love? Same goes with a holiday, you know, holiday like Christmas is really miss ros day And the way I look at it is I'm gonna continue to celebrate it because it's a time of family getting together Yeah, and I want to decorate trees fun to make it fun. Yes. It is fun to decorate the tree It's fun to see your child open up a Present that they've wanted and they get all excited and there's joy in their eyes and you know, there's a lot of love in that and I Don't think there's anything wrong with with that It's the intent if you're celebrating these holidays with the intent of destruction and harm But there's a problem then you need to rethink your methods and you need to rethink your where your soul is at But we can't destroy these things because honestly they all originate from Source creator. Yeah, all originate from the good the odd originates from the good the I of course Originates from the good the pyramid is comes from the good But again, these are symbols even the I'm not gonna be NAZI symbol. Oh, yeah It was a good. Yeah, it was a good symbol. It's in Japan. Well, actually it's from India, too It's in the show. Okay, yeah And I will say Xeno Cindy is about to sign on guys. I Just beg you to another thing. I want to say as well.  Go around telling people what they can and can't do as far as holidays That's how we got ourselves stuck in this mess. Anyways, exactly, you know, we all have free will Stop trying to Control others.    They're having fun and there's more a presence of God and that laughter in their house And there is in the sorrow of yours. So I bought a house from a fundamentalist family. Did I tell you that price? That's probably why it's so hot the first the funny thing is as a Christian being a Christian all these years I still didn't think there was anything wrong with Halloween because I understood it was intent I we never dressed in scary scary costumes for gosh sakes.    Why are you gonna take that away from your kid?  I go buy candy every year in hopes to be able to give it to kids on Halloween The neighbors want to see the kids like your dad They want to say what is how come to the door and put candy in their baskets It's it's such an amazing community thing and when we were kids We got to wear our costumes to school on the day of Halloween and do parades and show our costumes And it was I have so many fun memories Not one sacrifice was made. I didn't see me like real 99% of the people aren't doing that. Okay. We have we cannot control other people We cannot go into the handmaiden's tail Pulling our pitchforks up and saying because if you've got your pitchfork drawn To condemn someone for celebrating Halloween. You're no different than the cabal You're no different than the controllers.   Okay, and I mean that spiritually Emotionally mentally and physically. Okay Keep pay pay more my that is telling me when we have our pitchforks up We're not working on ourselves. Exactly. It's projection projection projection. Yeah, you got something going on in your own self You're not addressing so you're gonna project it on to other people That is another type of a polarized negative That is that is another And I'm gonna tell you there's a reason why in the United States of America Our Constitution has separation of church and state and I grew up in a very very very conservative Christian family and my parents Supported the separation of church and state because when age when a religion is in control Look, it's what's happened with the controllers when a religion is controlling a country. It gets bad real fast Okay, because you're I mean if you go to the Middle East in some places you got aware of Yes, yes, it can only show our eyes Yes, we need to allow people the freedom in our Constitution We're allowed the freedom to pursue happiness my happiness your happiness might look different We can't stand in the way of somebody else's happiness because where there's happiness where there's love there is God to love another person So there's a great quote from Victor Hugo where he says to love another person is to see the face of God and Regardless of who Victor Hugo was or was not that has always remained one of my favorite quotes and but it's a true Regardless of who he is So when you see a neighbor when an elderly lady, I mean it's an emotional like how many neighborhoods are there?  Oh, it makes me emotional and the door opens and the ladies hit and they're happy and they're giving that kid That's God That's the love of God. Yeah, stop making this something it's not otherness and the thing is if you I forgot who quoted this but if you're hating another person for whatever you're actually hating a fractal of yourself We all come from the same source God.  Don't don't RIP somebody, you know, those are just common sense when it comes to rules and regulations In my opinion, I know the church teaches differently But in my opinion most people are pretty good people at the heart of it. They have good intentions Most people are not going to be doing what the controllers do That's a very small group of people in this world that has done this Most people would be horrified if they saw something like that.  That's all we're asking you is to live and let live And Cindy is on her way in right now So I'm just gonna keep the camera rolling and we're just gonna go ahead and admit Cindy in And I'm getting hot I got hot and cold hot and cold hot cold and yes I am aware I've been wearing the same sweater like every episode. I got it when I was up with stuff with Stephanie It's my favorite sweater. It's your only sweater really one-year-old Lee sweaters. I'm sweatshirts, but Here she is I can hear you can't see it. We're already recording Cindy. Just so you know All right, let's see what's going on here Steph and I were addressing some things before we got started with you that I felt were very very important when it comes to understanding these holidays and There she is there she is Miss America I'm running late. I was about to set up the computer here and I looked out and there was a ha this big he must have caught one of the pigeons that hang out around here and So I got mesmerized watching the Hawks with the pigeons and Huge Had a Like animals it's one of my my spirit animals for sure So that's why I was like and something I got out of my video camera started recording it and stuff and then Like well you send it to me send a so I can share it with our viewers because I think that we got I was just saying before you got on like stuff and I have some really cool. Hey, I hate to say subscribers I feel like such a douchebag when I say subscribers But our friends that watch us in this in our communities We have really cool people that watch these videos And so I'm sure they're gonna love to see that video of that Hawk that you saw Cindy Yeah, I can send it to you. I have no makeup on you know, I would have never even guessed you look great I am was driving. I think it was either yesterday the day before I was getting all these like Numbers coming at me I sent Bryce a couple of video or a picture and I was driving and all of a sudden I don't know bird it what it could have been a hawk or it was like a crow It was huge huge bird Huge like blackish brown bird Giant I actually thought it was like an eagle at first and It was flying with my car overhead Like for like a mile like just just flying with me. Oh, wow. I've never seen I've had birds fly by my car I've been seeing like a lot of blue jays lately Mm-hmm, but this one was a giant blackish brown bird and it flew over my car But then it was like following me overhead, but it was in view of my my Dashboard like I could see it flying with me and I'm like What is God trying to tell me right now? I wonder so I still gotta figure that out But yeah, that's my favorite thing to do is go home and like Google Yeah, well everything means I know hawks are huge hawks are big I will say to never get to come practice at Cindy's Shala or her mystery school I was called a Shala. She calls it a mystery school the back Yard where Cindy's actually facing away. She's in her shell. She's facing a window right now that This bat garden and when I'm teaching on Sundays I get mesmerized because the amount of birds that fly into that Garden of Cindy's like there's always so many cardinals out there blue birds out there They're always out there and I'll be teaching and the students, of course They're like upside down so they can't see and I'll just be watching these birds like you know, it's it's just be it's very It's a Cindy's Shala. It's a very magical place Cindy's done a very good job Birds is definitely there's definitely one of my beard animals if you will always have been since I was little and So it's just feels natural for me to set up a space.    We would let our dogs I think most people Especially in Georgia your dog now your dogs are confined to your property and to your house But back then the dogs would just run around the neighborhood just like the kids the dogs and the kids would just be Loose around the neighborhood all the time and so we have this English setter We had a lot of dogs because my dad's a veterinarian, but we had this one English setter burlap I loved burlap so much that would go and hunt at night and he would always bring us Pray at the back garage door. So every morning we'd open the door to go to school to get in the car we'd have to step over like a Mole or a rabbit or something burlap had brought us every because they do that. They bring you gifts, right? Well one morning I opened the door and there was an owl dead eyes wide laying on that And I started screaming because I'd never seen an owl before and my dad can now get my dad's veterinarian and my dad Got rid of the owl and before we even got in the car to go to school. He like my dad's like six four He's really tall.  Oh my god. I Don't know but it was our dog like we didn't tell it, you know I know Here you go Kind of like a cat cats with mice they always give their owners their their mice as gifts Actually, I could use a cat in my house right now This time of year those mice they just like to come into though. I have an older house So they like to come in we lost your video again, Cindy Okay We'll roll with it Why don't we speaking of cats black cats and why don't we get into this the subject at hand? Which is Halloween and I've covered a lot in the past over the different Elements of the history of this time of year as we were saying before Cindy came in I think for all three of us I think I can say this side. This is our favorite time of year. It's It's I think it's just a beautiful time of year the veil is the thinnest and so What we're seeing I know Cindy is kind of separate from the community that Stephanie and I are on YouTube It's what we're seeing is we're seeing a lot of people polarizing tunics They're going from an extreme of like thinking that these holidays are satanic and we have to stop Celebrating them which we know the darkness can't create anything only the light can create Anything that's been used by the darkness has been inverted by the light was something that there was the light We talked about this ISIS with Osiris with the eye of forest all that kind of stuff has been inverted and so my thing is And we were saying this before Cindy came on. I love the holiday of Halloween. I love it I think it's one of the best holidays that we have to see children get dressed up to see them collect candy It's just it's a very community-oriented holiday. You know, it's it's to me It's it's and of course the spiritual side of it where the veil is the thinnest Our ancestors knew this We also have this beautiful autumn time here in the Northern Hemisphere, which I know spiritually a lot of spiritualists will talk about The autumn or the fall as we call it in America as being such a great lesson to us spiritually Because the trees will let just let go of their leaves. They don't hold on They just let go and they trust that in spring new leaves will come again. They don't they don't question they just release and So what a beautiful metaphor for us as human beings because we have a real hard time releasing We hold on and hold on and hold on and we sometimes don't trust that the newness is coming in But this time of nature which with the changing of the leaves is gorgeous and beautiful It did create such a beauty that Releasing that entering into the death period is such a beautiful time of nature what we can learn from that as humans So city, I'm gonna let you take it away with where you want to start with this subject Yeah, I mean Halloween is yeah one of my favorite seasons And we've you know speaking of like Libra season Scorpio season these are the times where it's a really cool magical window that opens up and Yes, we talked very often about how the veil becomes thinner between our realm and the realm of the unseen and If you talk a lot of people whether they believe in Halloween whether it's they even believe it in, you know, the esoteric I mean, those people will say that they feel so They might not be able to explain But they're like, you know, there's just something that feels different So there's this natural tendency even for those who you know, maybe an are not into Intuitive or instinct or psychic development of any of that stuff You know, even the ones who are not into it they can still fit and feel that something's like truly Like magical is happening. You know, so it doesn't even take a highly trained priestess to feel this time of year and That's part of the reason why it's so magical. So if you do your work and You do the work of that Empowers you or that grows you or The work of letting go if you talk about releasing a passionate Letting go dissolving old skin shedding the things that no longer serve you Your your spiritual practice can really blur it Because you are being so nervous right now by the other realm You know what I mean, and we can take that with us the work that you do during the time of year You can really take that with you into the winter season when it does get more dark And they got it does get more Interespective and you feel a natural pulling to draw it in And you take with you everything that you work on during during this time during the season during the fall time to Nurt those seeds know those seeds is that you plant it because it can either be just the things that you said or seeds that you plant it could be a combination of both and We used in the winter time, you know late fall to winter time of the just hibernation period and Just like any seed it needs to be in the deep dark Fertile soil for a while, you know, it needs to see their incubating in the earth herself In that quiet like in that stillness for then it can You know, it can bloom or if it can flourish during the spring time So the seeds that we plant right now and the things that we said the things that we dissolve the things that Pull in during the fall time we nurture that during the darkness winter time And then when the spring time comes It's been it's been said, you know, then the the true bloom can come out But that's kind of how the seasons follow your own spiritual Progress and if you were to use the seasons and the nothing and flowing And what they mean what they can mean for you and your own spiritual development Your own weakening, which I think is beautiful. That makes so much sense And I know I've said this in my classes that at your shallow before You know Guruji back in the you think about the ashtanga practice or the yoga practice the postures give work to and In india it's monsoon season would be like their winter and so Guruji would only give postures during the summer But when it went into monsoon season No more postures you work with what you have So that makes so much sense and when you are and that's one thing I think too where we've been disconnected Um As a humanity we think for some reason we're above nature Like we're not a part of this we're here on earth But somehow we're not really a part of this nature But absolutely we are and that's part of what any deep spiritual practice teaches you is how to ebb and flow With the energy and the consciousness of nature because you very much are a part of nature You're in a human body. That's living the laws of nature. I mean hello women We've experienced nature once a month We can't escape that like it's even women who've had hysterectomy still have the boo bakes once a month Like you can't escape that so you have to learn how to work with it And that's what I know when I studied the now Navajo with the skin walkers They would teach a lot like within like magic That black magic was working against nature For your own desires white magic is working with it is learning to ebb and flow with nature And so we know that historically the halloween Day is called salwin. Is that correct am I saying that correctly salwin? so Why this one day? What is salwin? What does that mean? And I know for and we're I want to get into the day of the dead too with the latin american cultures, but For people of european lineage, especially salwin I mean all of us even though cindy is peruvian. She's got some she's got some white White white jeans in her as well the irish Yeah, so and stephanie we The screen got some I got a lot of your but but the this was what our ancestors especially if you are of european descent This is what your ancestors knew now. Let's break this down too the kelts the druids angle of saxons all these people we know Galactically come from a constellation a planet called kontekia They're the nordics that brought this to planet earth. So if we're talking about the deep woo woo deep conspiracy juju The druid practices around this were brought from the planet kontekia, which was a positively oriented planet So let's talk about salwin. Shall we? Yeah, well, you know in in those Celtic and druid traditions and those older, uh Uh pagan in the we were talking about this through the words pagan was actually created by christian pagans didn't call themselves pagans, um, but uh, I guess the I don't know the deeper latin rick that I can't remember what it was that it was, you know, back during they were The romans were doing the you know the transformation everything into christianity They started calling the the people to practice the older legions pagan That it um, so yeah pagans. They were called so pagans But just the the older legions for the old philosophies or the old the old ways of doing things Was the always with inaction with nature always Because that's what they lived in, you know the people of the old time I mean that was what ruled their life what the song was doing, you know the moon these Such a big thing that they have to figure out how to incorporate all that into their lives to determine Their their survival and their food and everything so it was just a natural saying for The people back in the oldest old times to have a very deep connection with nature And yes, our body is made up of the elements Well, we talked before I think the last time I was with you we were talking about the pentagram And how it represents the the elements and how we hold all the elements within our bodies We hold spirit we hold gear we hold fire We hold earth we hold water And so we are actually made up of the earth stuff right and so For the the older religions or whatever you want to call it, you know the way people live back again It was there wasn't even a religion. It was a way of life You know what? I mean, it's like it was just their way of life the way of living Um, October 31st that was considered their more their new year More so than like the actual new year You know this this time of year saline was more of their new year They knew sorry we lost you again here, right? They knew it was still um, you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. I knew it was like the harvesting season and it was they were about to enter into The dark season Which was a very scary time for people Back then too Because that was when you know people died of cold or people died of famine You know, you just look at the way people lived back then And so, you know going into the winter months was very precarious You know, so this time of year was definitely just if you look at the regular living Part was an important part for them Um, so it was always marked up till the 31st or this time of year as more their their new year And they had to rely on you Let's think about that for a second because especially for northern people living in northern europe The winters were rough Yeah, they were rough. I mean I I obviously look very northern european But I would not survive in snow today because I've been in the south for too long But they they were and they understood the majesty of nature They understood that man versus nature nature always went And so they had to make sure they were loaded up on their harvest for food They weren't going they didn't have a kroger to go drive by and pick up some bread You know get some milk on your way home for the pigly wiggly. They didn't have that So they had to make sure they were loaded up I know with the christmas like the yuletide the christmas tree that was all part of bringing warmth into the house during like the darkest days of the year And um, you know, and I know for a lot of the northern european cultures Uh, they would load up on a very heavy alcohol For purposes of keeping them warm too It was a a warm to keep their bodies warm and they weren't going to be doing much work during this time That was all done in the warmer times of year. So yes, and that is to me. That's such a beauty That we've lost In our society. Yeah, we think we could come from a practical aspect But if you look at the the practicality too the size of the magic, I mean it was just Practicality is how you have to to live in order to survive And you rely on your community too. I mean we're talking about like more tribal type because If your house if something messed up in the winter in your house So you are going to have to rely on your neighbor for that support because man versus nature nature always wins those snow storms were rough And and so we see sowing was very much a community come together at the end of what would have been the harvest season, correct? Right exactly And then Yes, and then the feeling too, you know, like we were talking about before there's just a natural feeling You know that there's something going on nature is doing something I mean nature is actually going through the process of releasing The trees especially if you live somewhere that's deciduous where there's a lot of deciduous trees like this You know, there's a lot of trees are falling you can actually feel nature pulling back And you could actually feel it but you can sense. Yeah Yeah, that's so true. It isn't feeling something, right? And so it's naturally just pulling pulling in pulling back all of your senses It's like all your senses like for me like living in the northeast we have a lot of the the beautiful foliage, right? The smell in the air is completely different. Yeah, like the smell.  That's a halloween party party trick, right musical chairs Um, can you still hear me? You can hear you just can't see you Okay Why don't y'all be keep talking i'm going to switch my camera out Perfect. I'm going to keep Keep asking me. I'm going to let me switch out this camera. Okay. See guys. We're not professional tv people We're all just in our houses in yoga studios Talk as you are I think people have this some some people not everybody I think I think we are like an old studio sets And I'm like, I'm in my bedroom my dog's right here so um, I'm actually going to come up with an example of what Cindy's almost like talking about here because I'm actually going through it right now so, um I've had some beautiful conversations with shanti from prairies rising africa And I've had a lot of trauma happen to me this time of year in my life And I've ended up my my birthday. I'm a lebron. So my birthday is beginning of october Some things have happened to me on my birthday So I've had a lot of traumas happen to me in my life this particular time of year when I was a child This was actually my favorite time of year as an adult that has shifted Because of those traumas But what we were talking about the other day is what a beautiful time To end that you know what I mean like this is a time of endings and reflection and releasing right so because of that that It was helping me put things in perspective Because I was struggling my birthday is always a trigger Especially the last couple of years where family is not exactly there anymore. So You know what I mean? It was one of those things I'm learning to start like the like the leaves on the trees. I'm learning to Shed that right as part of my work and just observing those emotions and then letting the leaves fall off the tree And having faith in the new leaves are going to come in and replace the old That's that's and that's what I was thinking too are talking about that like I know rom daas has written about this a lot that there is a Uh, there is something very holy and very sacred around death And we fear it we fear that But and actually the Magdalen manuscript that I released this Tuesday morning I read there's a section where she talks about this watching her friend pass away And it got me very emotional because there was such a beauty in the letting go that she spoke about There was a beauty in allowing the life to pass when it was its time and rom daas would write about this How there needs to be just as much of a holy and sacred gathering at a person's time of death as there is at a time of birth Because it is a holy passage and we see how again how beautiful death can be through nature And we go through and also in our lives We all just we have one big mac daddy death at the end of this life where our soul leaves the body But we go through many deaths throughout our lives many rebirths Many different chapters and that's that learning just to let go Because sometimes we're forced to let go before the new is actually presented itself And we have to live on that faith nature is excellent teacher when it comes to faith Nature never questions god Nature never questions faith. It's not as a nature. Yeah And that's very much a shamanic perspective way of looking at things that the shaman doesn't fear death You know, they they've gone through the the process and I know that was part of A part of my process too and um in the you know, my own personal activations and initiations, you know through You know becoming a priestess and especially More of a shadow Priestess and the shadow in a good way in that you look at the things that people are most often frightened of like death and Seeing it from a different lens from a different point of view and You know in the you know speaking of the way people lived back then versus the way we live now people back then they lived Closer to death than we do now That's a really good point. They did for sure And so they were very much in tuned with the death with the dying No Sicknesses they went around differently back then, you know people died at a much younger age um children often The women often died at childbirth, you know children They died I mean, they were lucky if they could live past the age five six seven years old Because of all the different diseases and everything that was around And so the people back then they had a very different relationship with death because death was always all around them It was there's a different That you have toward life because Making seeing death gives you more of an appreciation for life. Yeah And now we're more disconnected from from death and i'm not saying that you know that we want to be You know, we want the people around us dying and all that but it just changes our relationship With death and our own mortality When we are so separated from it Because we also need to get out of fear of it, too Yeah, which comes from a lot of the irreligious indoctrinations. I mean Take me for instance.    We go through the same cycle and same cycle and it's just a part of part of living is dying Absolutely, it's the it's the main part of living and that's what uh, Richard Friedman Of big a strong a teacher has said many with the with the yoga practices You're actually preparing for death when you go through your practice. You're preparing to ultimately just let go and surrender To death when death comes to knocking, you know, that's uh, one of my favorite poems is a all Since I was in high school this poem by john dunn death be not proud It's one of my favorite poems in the whole world Because death is also the great equalizer not to put Madonna or anything, but it is the great equalizer As john dunn says in his poem paupers and kings Both have to surrender to the same fate You all three of us all of us no one gets out of this world alive And so I think you're right Cindy I think there was even though we don't want to go back to that time where You didn't know if any day was going to be your last. Um, we don't want to go back there But there was obviously that's going to shape your worldview very differently When that's just the reality there is no other option is that life is fragile life isn't as fragile anymore as it was then And and in that fragility there was an understanding I guess two yes of nature and what in the power of nature and that We are a part of that ebb and flow of the energy of nature um, and so But yes, so with the sowing now from my understanding too I want to get more into the esoterical magical side of it as well Because let's okay. Let's let's let's kind of springboard off of being around death. I can imagine Now people make fun of our ancestors were like hokey and you know had a lot of superstitions I don't think they were superstitions guys I think that if they're living so close to death and they're really in tune with nature They were all a little witchy. They all probably had a a mass understanding of well Can we go over what the definition of witches which just means a wise woman? That's the what the word witch means guys any it is so it's so demonized But once you understand what it actually means You're like, okay So and it's and it's usually someone who lives in uh with an understanding of nature I actually did a video about this lat this time last year We're trying to uh the video was about diffusing the word witch diffusing the fear from it Um, but it's it's it's just someone who lives more in the rhythms of nature Absolutely, and they use nature they use the forces of nature to help them Yeah, and it got demonized by the church. It got demonized through the inquisition. It got demonized. Um, I actually just To uh, Wednesday, there's going to be a release of the next installment of the divine Sophia She talks about this in this book historically that when we had a matrilineal society there was a balance between man and woman but when The priests of Yahweh which we know Yahweh means Molok came in and had that destruction they started to take away the rights of women and so women got deemed as Especially if they were midwives or were still into they got deemed as witches and there was Millions of women that who lost their lives during the inquisition and so We have this like fear of these words that have been ingrained into us But if it's same with halloween if we start to actually understand where they come from Then I know this might piss some of the the the hardcore fundamentalists watching right now off, but I'm going to say it anyway Magdalen was a witch Yashua was a whisper. Yashua was a wizard Yeah, that that's just going to trigger some people But that's the truth of it all if you go back and do your research and All it is is they were using the elements of nature for healing Mm-hmm. So I don't know how we can demonize that if that if you're going against nature and what God made And you know, it's obviously that's black magic, but These are these are people that use the elements to do healings and help humanity. That's all it was It's not like they were, you know with their little wands and and casting black magic spells because I think The the word witch and wizard has been so demonized as in it's only specifically For the dark side You can take anything and use it for bad or for good like my tarot parts You can use it for the bad, but I choose not to like free will I choose to use it for the good I look at uh The the yasha's mother the virgin mary where we know her name was alamari You don't get much witchy than that like she was literally I mean when I think of her I think of her is like the head honcho Like we're gonna pull this root this berry. We're gonna make this concoction and it's gonna heal you Reiki that's what um, I mean, we know said these are reiki master That's what yasha was doing when he the laying of hands. That's using that reiki So I want to just yeah dispel that we're not a cell They use the elements for medicine like for me. I take my herbs. I make tinctures. I make ointments. I make oils by soaking the herbs and certain liquids and and it's not to do any harm on anybody's for healing It's to heal it's to help So in the term of healing or help So the oldest art form, you know one of the oldest ways of doing things. It's the oldest I love doing that So if we look at the timeline of history Like number one all of us watching right now. We're the product of people who survived so We're tough like genetically we survived like we're talking about how life was so hard Genetically our ancestors had to at least get to the age to procreate So all of our ancestors lived past the age of five. Yay We're winners winning right? But not only that I believe that not only do we carry Fragments of memories from our own incarnations, but in our dna. We also carry the memories of our ancestors too So all of us are ancestors of witches all of us are And if we look at it just from the females alone These were wise women that were birthing babies before the the invention of doctors the invention of an OBGYN these were women When a woman was giving birth she wasn't calling for the man down the street to come help her She was calling from the other women to come and help her give birth In those days like these were women who knew how to do this We're just naturally born with the genius even Let's say even I mean, yes, I agree 100 we are the ancestors of those who survived and we are the ancestors of the The witches and everyone but even even if you just don't want to believe that you take that away Your body is a natural mechanism I mean you're just if you are wearing a bodysuit right now, which Everyone is like everyone who's watching this right now. I hope you are an actual bodysuit If you are wearing this bodysuit right now You have everything all the bells and whistles everything that you needed to congregate with nature and to take in In other words, you were you were born with it With or without your I mean, yes, the the DNA of your ancestors are in here, but your bodysuit itself carries Water it carries air it carries fire It carries spirit it carries all the elements Not only that but it care well with the elements because it's just an it's a natural Offspring of the elements is the the elements from the actual chart like you have the minerals You are made up of hydrogen and the carbon And nitrogen and all of the main things that everything in this World is made up of the same stuff. In other words, your body is made up of the exact same stuff That the rest of the the world is made up of so you are technically designed Just like in your human design to connect with nature. Now, whether you use it or not Whatever, but you are actually designed with it and you can even see it the the our human design Not only do we carry the elements, but we we carry a lot of the same ratios like if you hear the golden ratio as the As the as everything else does Like, you know the golden ratio how our fingers are made that the ratio of your knuckles with your hands and we don't go like this You know that ratio also matches the same Circling of your ear which matches like the cauched shells and everything that's out in nature Your lungs when you think about your lungs and all the little um What are they called the things that help you breathe, you know the little rock branches Yes, the bronchi and then the even smaller ones back. You know there that branch out Well, if you look at a tree If you were to invert our lungs And then if you were to look at a tree it has the same practice This is what's what's called fractaling Of a tree and if in if you think about the trees the trees are the lungs Of our planet and our lungs are made to look like trees. Yes. Yeah How cool is that so it's okay All to say is that you if you're wearing one of these You have the capacity To to to connect with nature and to use the elements because you were you're born is your birthright You know you were born with it I laugh and I was laughing when you were saying that cindy because and you know this cindy Every in the alshaga practice lot.  What do I do? I will stop you right there No, you are made in perfect proportion To your own body Like everything and you see we're sure that the way all mimics together all fits together Like that says when you you say that when you started saying that cindy I started laughing because I was like Can we make this a public service announcement for all the alshaga people out there? Like Scientifically by nature you are in proportion to yourself.   So does your cat. So does the rat the gutter. So does the snake. So does the tree You know, and that's and that's what I think is so beautiful about this time of year again because you feel it This is the time of year. Yeah, you feel like because Nature is very active right now in its process and because you have the same Elemental stuff that trees and everything else you're doing. There's a natural pulling It's because again, you're the it pulls on the own your own sense of Needing to do the same thing that the trees are needing to do. Okay. It's time to shed. It's time to dissolve It's time to pull my energy more inward Because we're going into the wintry darker months. I need to preserve my energy for for what's to come and use it for you know for for what is to come and for the um for Really nourishing the seeds that that you've planted earlier or that you're planting now, you know So, yeah, I mean But that but that is the magic though. That's the thing that I also Really think it's important for people to understand the magic is esoteric But magic is also understanding the practicality of it Magic should be practical Yeah, and that's what the ancestors knew their magic was practical because it had to be So we don't want to take that away from magic itself. So understanding this just the science of you Your elemental construct the same as the elemental construct out there that we are cycling. I mean that is The the like the science behind it is just as important as because yes, we can get carried away with the esoteric and all the stuff But as I often say, I mean you can see things and all this stuff, but if your life is Crap and it's just completely I mean, of course we all we all go through our collie season I don't want to I don't I don't mean so if you're going through a collie season a a season of things dissolving Disruption of something is new. It's coming. Yeah.  Yeah Do you see what I mean? So it's like you have to use your magic for Practicality making your life Better like I would rather listen to the one I would rather listen to the person that has Like their life is unfolding Into something beautiful Then listening to someone who's telling me they can they can see aliens and they can see ghosts and they have this amazing ayahuasca experience But they're like living on the streets somewhere or hardly like you know, like that is an impressive The person who's going to impress me is the person who You know how it has this beautiful unfolding of life And they have an understanding of nature and how to use it to to feed themselves not just to experience for the sake of For the sake of seeing something just because it's cool Yeah, I mean yeah, no, I totally you sent me something except me the other day It was like what did the other guy said so many people are so fascinated with ascending but they have yet to learn how to ground Yeah, it was the sending that comes out Posted want this the spiritual hubu lubity jubilee as as 70s kid calls it, but they don't even know how to be a human And you came exactly human It said a lot of people are obsessed with ascending But have not yet mastered grounding And what does maggie say she magdalene says that's what in order to You must descend. Yeah, let's first descend before you ascend. The descending is the tontra Yeah path that that is the usually the path of the feminine is the descending path The ascending path is usually the path more of the masculine or the ship of the shawty That makes sense because apana is usually the feminine energy the moon energy The chronic is the that's why women have a cycle once a month and men have a cycle every three months Yes, I'll say that again for those in the back who didn't hear men have a cycle every three months So if your boyfriend your brother your husband get a little bitchy every three months They're on their man period Give them some idle Some idle will help So but that's the solar that's the solar energy So the way I see sal went to it was like They would come together for this almost like a festival within their communities that way I see it from my modern perspective It was like a festival. They had bonfires they understood that there were The the veil was thinner like I said they were already attuned to this so they probably really felt it They relied a lot on the knowledge of their past ancestors Which is something I think we're starting to rediscover now But was forgotten for a long time and honoring which we're going to get to the day of the dead with the latin american culture But honoring the path ancestors now Cindy I understand that the the culture of dressing up for halloween into a scary costume Was at these bonfires was to scare away The dark entities from coming into the community The veil was thinner and so they wanted the jack-o-lanterns were the same thing To scare away These demons and they knew because at the veil is thinner. We have to remember we're on a polarized planet We can't escape the polarization. We have the darkness and the light and so when you're The veil is thinning. It's not ever just going to thin for one side of the playing field It's for all playing fields and so they understood that and there was because they understood that They were able to do what they felt was necessary In order to keep the darkness at bay because we are coming at you know So that's why they would dress up as goblins or scary things and and we see this and this is my Thing too like I have I probably should have actually in a minute. I'll get up and go get it We I have a mask in my front room here. That's from india It's a very scary looking mask Now if you are in india People hang these masks on the outside of their house these scary masks They're to scare away demons Now I don't hang it outside of my house because I would have a A cross burning in the front yard if I did Because people don't understand what that is and and so I'm gonna go get that mask Do y'all want to talk for all that about like what that was the dressing up How we get this idea of halloween to dress up where it came from this Scaring away of demons. It wasn't celebrating demons. It wasn't pulling demons in. It was trying to scare them away So I'm a lot chill. Yeah, that was go get that mask quickly. Hold on one second. I'll keep talking Yeah, I mean that's my complete understanding about it is They would dress up and that yeah, the jake jack-o-lanterns That's the reason they carved out the pumpkins because that was what was available to them at the time You know the the pumpkins and the gourds and all that that's what was Seasonally growing at the time Yeah, and so that's where the original carving out of all that was to help to keep the the evil spirits away in that bay So, yeah So I know Stephanie's seen this because she's been in my house. It's always a great conversation starter It's right there when you walk in there So this this is from india And in india you would see now This is made out of wood which was easier to travel with in india Most of them are concrete that they put outside. They're really heavy, but this one's wood and so these masks Are outside of houses To scare away demons. It's scaring away a demon It's not inviting it in it's scaring it away And so I hope people I hope that makes sense to people and and I wanted to bring that up because we see it now My niece and nephew always dress up as like their favorite Cartoon character or whatever and I was telling Stephanie before you got on sitting I don't even they get so excited to show me their costumes I don't even know who they're dressed up as because I'm so Close to that But but they're so excited. So we do see a turn of that where people are dressing up as princesses And you know, we have more of that freedom now in our modern world to just use our imaginations to have fun Um, you know, what was that great show from canada that I loved it? Um Schitt's creek Schitt's creek. Oh, yeah And people were dressing my sister dressed up as uh the mother from schitt's creek because you know people You know, it's a way to have fun because that was a hysterical show if you haven't watched schitt's creek hysterical show Really, I'm gonna have to oh it's been that it's so funny. It's the only show that I watched from canada is letter. Kenny Which is hilarious. Well schitt's creek. It's hysterical. It's it. I will watch it over and over again. It is so funny Um, so anyway, but uh, but yeah, so I hope that people so when we're could you see these people condemning because we do know That the dark cult the dark Occult players are doing their also They're also celebrating their high seasons now as well Their high holidays because they are also able just as we're able to harness in Information from the light. They're able to grab from the darkness. That doesn't mean we should stop pulling from the light And we have to be very aware of this because when a child dresses up as a skeleton or something Where is that coming from that's coming from a historical? Heritage Well for skeleton is so evil then. Why are we skeleton? with covered with skin That doesn't make they never made any sense to me that the skeleton is evil Because we have one So it's kind of like some of this is just common sense And I guess, you know, I think a lot of it too stems from the indoctrination Of the church.  They had their own power within their own hands to take care of this They knew what to do. They knew how to move with nature. They came together. I mean the bonfires the harvesting everything They did is a community which is what we do with trigger treating now We do it as a community in your neighborhood, right? The kids get together with their friends.  It's fun. It's fun.  It's a community thing Same thing our ancestors a community thing the ancestors our ancestors had the power They knew what was coming through they understood the mission They understood the mission they understood the work. They knew that this the veil was thinner And so they prepared for whatever that was going to bring Right and we've been stripped of that. So i'm you hear a church saying oh, don't dress up as something scary So you're inviting the demons in then You could say it that way Are you inviting them in then because you don't have someone there to scare them off? I was such a church rebel I still dressed up and had my son dress up And I dressed my dog up a couple years ago as Darth Vader, you know because i'm a sci-fi nerd But it went in the costume didn't really fit her very well But you have fun with it. I mean see i'm laughing about it.   What better way to calm a patient down, right?  I can't explain it There's nothing better than just being goofy and silly and laughing. That's like such good medicine. To me it was medicine You know, I always I say for my most of my favorite childhood memories come from halloween when I was in school And I remember my best friend growing up Her mama I still remember her one of her halloween costumes because I was mesmerized by it She dressed up as pippy long stocking and her mama mrs. Thomas rest in peace. She's no longer with us But she took a dry cleaner hanger into the wire hangers Put it on page's head And braided her hair around the wire. She probably used five cans of aqua net just to keep the hair I mean, I think her hair was like stuck hard You know to have the pippy long stocking braids and I still remember that to this day Like how creative was that to create that for your child? It's fun to create costumes Like the first year my son like actually chose his costume. He didn't choose a regular costume He um took all he wanted green and black everything that had to do with spiders Of course, it's like seriously spiders out of all things because i'm arachnophobic, but I had to sew onto this this T-shirt that had spiders already on it I put spider webs on the t-shirt and then I sewed an actual Toy spiders on it and I dyed his hair green for the night, you know the spray You know you put in the hair lime green He wore his jeans and that's all he wanted for a costume. He didn't want to be a storm trooper He didn't want to be batman. He he invented his own costume and I just went along with it I'm like, okay. This is kind of strange, but whatever you do. You do you I will say before because I want to get the day of the decks now We've been on for about an hour now But I will say when one of my friends growing up dressed up as ariel the little mermaid for halloween She was toe-headed just white hair and long blonde hair white hair So her mom got when got the red hair spray that was supposed to wash out It didn't wash out She got to be ariel for like a year You know, that's funny. That's great. I think it's because her hair was so white It just held the color And I remember her mom being we were at dance class like a week after halloween her mom was like so just upset I remember her mom talking about like I can't get this out of her hair Like we keep washing it. It's not coming out. So she was literally ariel for a whole year because The diamonds but she was little she didn't care But let's now switch over because I do want to talk about the day of the dead Which has become a huge fascination with with americans with westerners Of of recent, but this is a latin american holiday. Do they do it peru too? Cindy is it or is it just latin america? It's mainly latin america. I don't they don't do so much. They well, you know peru and everything Because you know that the Catholics have also turned it into all saints day november 1st and so No, like in the indigenous part of peru. I don't know if they celebrate like no the november 1st Is the day of the dead, but they do all saints day Which is like the thing that they put over the day of the dead And you know, I think we've talked about this before how they very much taken a lot of their Their traditions and put it on top of traditions that already existed and just renamed it I'll say today is what the Catholics called it. Um, but it went on top of Day of the dead, which is yeah, mainly latin america november 1st where you Yeah, you set up an altar and everything for for your for your ancestors. You can be a big altar, too Like huge you go to the graveyard, right? You you basically go visit your family in the graveyard and That have an altar Which I know that a lot of like fundamentalist christians have tried to twist this Like this is some form of black magic and all this kind of stuff But no, it's literally just honoring the ones that are honoring your ancestors Yeah, and that's that veil is the thinnest so you're able to to hear and feel more of that Ancestors, you know, they you know, they really believe that your ancestors would take the nurse when they would take the food and It was just a Practice of gratitude, you know gratitude and appreciation for For everything of your ancestors and yeah, and then yeah, how you carry the The beautiful things so yeah, I mean we carry, you know, we often talk about too how we carry some of the trauma of our ancestors Of course, we do that but we also carry all the wisdom and the knowledge, you know, as you said we are we're the Where the our ancestors were the survivors and so we're the offspring of survivors That's what we're built off of so it's like honoring honoring everything honoring the wisdom honoring the knowledge honoring It's I mean it's just in every in every culture in every indigenous cultures Especially the the Native American indigenous cultures of North America They're all about their ancestors. I mean everything is about, you know, honoring grandmother and honoring grandfather and our ancestors did this it's because They knew that that's what our lives are built upon What our ancestors have created and sacrifice Often we focus on the negative things, but there are so many Beautiful positive things that have come from that and you know, we don't want to forget You know, we don't want to forget that it's like just your honoring of your tradition the honoring of your lineage Knowing where you you come from especially and right now when we are so future oriented Wanting to and and I don't know maybe that's just me being old-fashioned too because I think you know Young people not all young people Maybe you know like like some young people.  I mean you're recreating a new world, but your ancestors meant something I know and Honor the lineage and to honor those traditions too, but still you know move forward But don't forget where you've come from either And rom dos speaks about this as well. I love obviously i'm obsessed with rom dos I hope rom dos comes to visit me in spirit form. I would I would welcome that ghost But um, I don't have a conversation with him But um, he would talk about that because he was born richard albert a jewish man from new york And he took on romp the name ron dos from his guru But he would often talk about this about this idea of respecting your dna So if you were born a european white person You need to understand the druids. You need to understand the the Celtic culture the anglo-saxan culture You need to understand this because that's where you come from and there's something there for you to learn From if you are, you know, african, you need to respect that that lineage if you are native You you can't you can't lineage swap Once you're in once you're in your that doesn't mean we can't learn from each other's cultures We can't celebrate each other's cultures. I mean i'm a huge lover of the indian culture, obviously I'm a huge I very much a lot of respect for the yoga practice, but I can take that information and I can take that That lineage of the hindu stories and and incorporate it within myself as a white person Who also has druid heritage and Celtic heritage and southern heritage like I can I can you know Be me as brice but also learn from other cultures But respecting where I hope that makes sense where the ancestors come from If we think about if you're someone that's still afraid of the day of the dead because of the pro with propaganda about it How many of us have seen the spirit of our grandmother of our grandfather comforting us have come to visit us in a dream And we've loved makes the mess with me But we've loved it like so how different is that from the latin american people celebrating the day of the dead? It's the same thing. It's the same comfort. It's the same recognition. It's the same thing And so when we start to see the similarities to we start to have respect for these other cultures for what they're actually doing And and and I just really hope because I know especially down here in the south A lot of people think that what they're doing day of the dead is nothing but black magic But no it's literally them just saying thank you grandmother Thank you grandfather Because of you I have life yeah, and that's why I've set in several sweat lodges back in the day, too And that's one of the first thing, you know, they you sit in the sweat lodge And they bring in the rocks or the stones To and then they pour water on tops of the rocks and stones the stones have been heated under fire all day long They put the rocks in the middle and then they pour water on top of the rocks and it's the steam of the water that Creates the steam where you sweat But every single time when you said thank you grandfather, it just reminded me every single time they brought in a rock You're a rock one of the rocks The the rocks are sacred and they were they were the your grandfather's like your the rocks were grandfathers And whenever a rock was put in everyone that looked that was what you would say. Thank you grandfather Thank you. So every time everyone put a rock in the middle. That's what you would say. Thank you Like thank you grandfather because even the even nature, you know, just bringing it even back to that like it's all part of Your history, you know, I'll for my um when I got married I was married in the fall and Apparently I did the subconsciously But the biggest thing that I had arranged was and I didn't realize what I was doing at the time But apparently it's all in my subconscious I literally made a table where you could call it an altar For all of the deceased grandparents between David and myself Yeah, so we put a picture and then The type of flower that was um my grandfather's favorite and for david's grandmother He was very close to it was the butterfly that represented her And we made this it was a big arrangement Um, and I remember it was super important to me like super important I Wanted nothing more than my grandfather to be at my wedding And I knew he'd be there in spirit and it's funny because two days before my wedding He came to me in my dreams and he was helping me set up my wedding I got married in october So it was and I knew he was there And so it's funny that I did that but I didn't even know what I was doing I'm glad you brought that because that's actually really big down here in the south that weddings like huge. Everybody always has a table for the deceased relatives And uh, like my my cousin that just got married a few months ago. His father passed away Um, sit around the same time rom dosta december 2019 and they had a chair up front with my uncle's picture on it Uh as an all so that that's an altar. That's what that is. That's an altar And so if you're like stephanie if you my my sister had it I heard with our our grandparents and who had passed away before and all that kind of stuff At one of my cousin's wedding during the ceremony. They read off all the names of all the Family members who couldn't be there due to passing away. They read off all the names That's another way. That's the same thing as what they're doing as well day of the dead And so what my hope is and and I want to continue this actually when I know we're going over an hour now What I hope is and if you girls are up for I want to continue these conversations, especially as we get into the holidays because When we come into this uh This great awakening if you will If we're so as we said in the beginning stuff and I've we're so hell bent In destroying all this stuff without understanding it without even researching it Then we're not awake We've learned well, there's a richness that comes to all this too. I mean when you That that's the thing about you know honoring culture and heritage and Because I mean the bigger question question is yes, you know, we're doing it to honor the ancestors and all that stuff But then you know even the uh like a bigger question that you can ask yourself is well, how does that make you feel? How does that make your life better? How does that make your life richer? Then more fulfilled than just giving you a sense of Of being That you're not alone and that you know that you've come from Something that's really beautiful. So it's like really Taking in how it serves you and how it actually helps you in your own personal development and in your own Awakening and in your own enrichment Because if it doesn't enrich you then why do it? Yeah, you know it's just it's just coming back to practical like the practicality of magic Yeah, it's designed to enrich you.  Do you see what I mean? And those are the qualities that we really need to develop within ourselves So it's like understanding how these how these different things that you do do and enrich your life It's not just doing it because the people before us did it and whatever But if there is a reason behind it and how it actually serves us too, it doesn't just serve your ancestors But it serves you and it helps you. I mean, if that's what we're doing here on October the 27th I think I told you Bryce. Yep is we're doing a little ceremony here and that part of it is Is that it's honoring your ancestor, but again, it's understanding Why am I doing this and how is how is this actually serving me and the rest of humanity? You know versus, you know, I think it's one of the things that can bring us Closer versus Yeah, the highest good. Yeah I'm planning on being there. That's my nephew's 10th birthday. But I think Yeah, I'm planning on be I'm hoping Stephanie will be there too So what I want to propose to us because I want to continue this conversation because I I just don't want to see people condemning other people anymore You know, yes, we recognize there are people who have utilized these holidays To do bad things. We understand that None of us do that. None of us. I I very much am the believer of live and let live I'm very much the believer of the law of consent. I don't want to hurt anybody. I know that Stephanie nor Cindy I know them personally as friends. They don't want to hurt anybody either You know everything Stephanie and sitting I do we do with the intention of making it for the highest good of ourselves and of the people around us And so and I'm saying that with most of the people out there that celebrate how even just thinking about the enrichment Not even with the ancestors but with the halloween If your child is laughing and having fun you've enriched its life You know, you've given it child memories like I have memories. We all have memories of fun halloween stuff You know, like that's enrichment. That's giving them substance. It's giving making them closer to their community to their friends you know So I love that you brought that up Cindy. It's the intention And so what i'm going to do because I do want to I really as we go through this holiday season I want to continue this conversation with you ladies as we go through We can do a follow-up of halloween. I'm going to ask if there's anybody watching right now that's Feeling a little triggered or maybe seeing things a little differently or has some questions Ask them in the comment section below Even if you want me to research an angle of halloween. I will do that We will talk about it on this show Because that's that's important understanding is so important And then when we get into Thanksgiving, we'll talk about that and then when we get into uh christmas We'll talk about that as well. That's a big one. We'll talk about christmas We'll talk about the winter solstice all that kind of stuff and what that means And the positive aspect of what all this means as far as our ancestors what they did and you're right It's something you say a lot Cindy which I respect you for You talk a lot about the word indigenous and as A white american we're often kind of excluded from this category of indigenous, but all of us are indigenous all of us are We all are indigenous people And that's part of that.  The lord knows I couldn't do it now I could survive a hot summer, but I'm up here for a week in the middle of winter. We'll see well We'll get you acclimated price. We'll activate though the whiteness in me, but you know, I got I got a lot of Scandinavian Lord those people went through the harsh winds and they survived and I have a product of that survival See with all you guys watching look at the the the heat of Africa that you survived if you have heritage from Africa The the east the far east gets real hot monkey If you're of east of if you're of asian descent lord, you are a survivor of some intense swan heat like that's that's That's incredible. Only that but like the famines The droughts the locusts like there is so much I mean it was it It's been it's so it was a ride for our ancestors to get you need reality to provide The foundation for us to be where we are now. I mean they had to go through some Through some like talk about you know sitting in the in the heat of the full a full experience to To make you Yeah, break you Yeah, I mean talk about a come to jesus moment when you're sitting either in that I don't know what's worse the intense heat or the intense cold like I don't know which one's worse They're definitely the intense heat any day over the intense. I mean I I know you I've I've never done a sweat lodge, but I've studied them a lot and um There's some sweat lodges here in Georgia I think you should go to Stephanie because that is you you hear I mean people it is all right Let's you know what let's do it. Okay You I'm ready to just deep dive into all of this stuff. I've been you know I've been so church indoctrinated. It's time to pop that cherry now. Okay, let's just do it We're not talking about cute little saunas. We're not talking about this I'm ready. Let's just do it. You know They're rough you got like bodily fluids. No, they are They're rough. You're you're praying Even if you don't believe in prayer doesn't matter.  I mean people are like praying to something I've heard I've read stories of you know people just pee on themselves. You're so close together You've got urine from other people on you. It's it's intense. It's very intense. What a spiritual Hey listen, let's do it. Let's do it. I'm gonna drink their paper the personality But anyway, so I'm gonna ask you guys again If you have any questions that you want us to talk about If you have want us to look up any type of angle of halloween I've covered halloween multiple times on this channel before if you want to go and Shouldn't be the playlist. I'll see if I can find the old videos where I went through the history and all that kind of stuff But if you have questions you want us to talk about it if you're still a little confused That's what I'm hoping that moving forward instead of coming at each other with condemnation We come to each other with a level of trying to understand And and trying to live and let live and allow people to have their human experience You know and not not try to control. We don't want to go from one Satanic controller group running our world to a handmaiden's tale Which to me is another satanic group, you know, like we don't want the beauty of life to be stripped from us We don't want the fun to be stripped from us. So Anyway, so I'm going to now Cindy. I know you got some courses coming up So I'm going to be placing all of your you've got a rakey course coming up You've got some other other stuff coming up So I'm going to be placing all of Cindy's links down in the description box below guys so that you can Look into see of what all those courses Cindy has to offer Especially especially if you're in the Atlanta area or close enough to the Atlanta area if you want to get involved As I've said Cindy's shala her mystery school is a very very special place Um, I get the pleasure of going there at least once a week to teach and it is a very very special place where Cindy has done a lot for a very long time.  I'm starting to get it And I actually don't want to dye it everybody's like dye your hair. I'm like why Why that's just my wisdom coming out That's the good thing about being blonde. I remember my hairdresser told me back in my mid 20s Because when you're born blonde around middle school high school, you start that I have to start highlighting your hair Because it gets kind of dull that she's like girl when you start getting gray though It's gonna blend right on in so It's gonna blend right on in so um So anyway guys, thank you guys for sitting through this. Thank you so much to Cindy and Stephanie I will be putting Stephanie's links as well to her channel. Her course is all that kind of stuff So make sure you check out the description box below and I will be including Cindy's video from a year ago where she goes over the word Which so anyway guys, we will all talk to you very soon.


I'm personally sort of excited that the David area is going to get opened up a little bit. The trail actually ends right in the front yard of David school. What a better opportunity for them to show their craft, to sell some of their goods and stuff up there at a trailhead for people coming in to ride the ride. It may be that people start going there and riding this way. And eventually what we'd like to do is literally tie in with a dolphins trail over in the Royalton area. That's our whole purpose is to try to connect everything together. Make it a regional system of trails, a regional enhancement to the whole area. And that's our goal.


like security, right, and how that starts to implement through the V-Shield directions. Also this model of IT as a service for IT as well as for service providers to keep partnerships there. So, you know, a major delivery through the Redwood technology that they did. And then Herod followed it up with, you know, some of the substance to, you know, showing the clear tangible progress against the directions that Paul was describing. I'm very consistent with a lot of the things you've been talking about sort of in preview fashion for the last several months. It's almost like we work together. Yeah, it's shocking. Yeah, it's amazing. Isn't it how it's a sort of coincidence comes together at the last minute like that? I just love it. So, Pat, we talked at EMC where the storage is sexy and that went over real well. Since then, M&A has been off the charts, sizzling hot storage. Now we're here and what we're seeing is proof points. And you've done some things with Green Plum. Talk about what it all means in terms of proof points. What proof points do you see that absolutely established the reality of cloud and that this is in mandate going forward as a future architecture, whether it's developers, mobility, and talk about those proof points.  I don't want to be too, while I am going to answer your question, I don't want to get too far ahead of my skis in the sense that there's still a lot more cloud washing than there is cloud substance. And, you know, if you go back to the theme, right, you know, virtual roads, actual clouds, right, trying to say there is some substance to it, but still there's a lot of visionary directions here. You know, that said, right, as part of the VCloud Partner Program that Paul described today, you know, these customers, these partners are putting up real cloud offerings today. And those are becoming very real. Things like VCloud Director, real tools to implement those in place. Real customers, like the Levi's example there, who they're implementing this and what they do. Yeah, we had Tom Peckon down at Sapphire at CIO Levi's, great story there. Yeah, and you know, I met with customers like Telstra yesterday, right, who is absolutely implementing services and delivering them to enterprise clients. So I think that we've clearly in the hype cycle, right, you know, the hype rate is often well in excess of the reality, but I think that's been the case for the last two years. And now we're seeing in that hype cycle that the reality is starting to build where real customers, real services, real applications are being deployed against this cloud model and sort of the mantra that we've been laying. And we're seeing increasing industry momentum saying, yes indeed, we all need to rationalize our products, our services against that cloud strategy as well. So you've seen a lot of inflection points in your day as have we, where do you see this one rating based on in the context of what you just said, the whole cloud computing inflection point, is it bigger than all the previous ones in your opinion or still remains to be seen? Well, anybody making such a prediction, right, you should think twice about, right, you know, the validity of their claims. But I think there's two aspects to it that I think indicate that it could be bigger than anything before. You know, the first one is just the industry is bigger. Right, IT, and as the economy has grown and IT has grown as a percent of the economy, we're just big now. And IT truly is just a huge sector of the economy, particularly for United States, right, Silicon Valley area. You know, this is our agenda for the world. So as the economy's bigger, and secondly, this is disruptive in multiple dimensions of the industry. It changes the infrastructure. It changes the application model. It changes the service model. It affects service providers. It affects system integrators. Many of the prior changes were not as disruptive across all of the strata of the industry. So because it's bigger, because it is more influential across all dimensions of the industry, I believe, and certainly, you know, as Joe has talked about, Joe Tucci, our CEO, has said, this is the biggest. How big? I don't know, but this one feels like, you know, this is a tsunami class wave if I was a surfer. Yeah, Joe's famous wave slide, yeah. We had Microsoft on yesterday who was actually here, but they can't really show anything. And we talked about them, about their hypervisor. I asked a specific question about, as the PC era reached the glass ceiling, the bloated PC, chained to the desk, the PC-centric view, you've lived that generation. It's not so much that it's irrelevant, it's just that it's changing. And we're in a new era. So what VMware is putting forth with this architecture and some of the things you've been working on, you have a platform and you have agnostic devices, that really changes the game on this PC-centric. I mean, what do you see on the user-centric side, the key variables in the industry? Well, I think number one, any of these waves, I predicted in 1990, the end of the mainframe. 20 years later, it still hasn't quite gone away, right? In that sense, it's not like these waves become the death of all prior. But you did some damage. Okay. Yeah, you did great over there. Yeah, it changed it. But it doesn't immediately eliminate those prior technologies, but the nexus of innovation, the foci of the industry's new capabilities, productivity, applications, is shifting. And I think all of us today would say the PC isn't that foci of innovation. Hey, lots of apps are using it, using it. Hey, I am much more productive on my laptop than I am on iPad or iPhone or a Joyad. I mean, I'm just much more productive in that sense. But I can't carry my laptop around in my pocket. Clearly, we're seeing the shift of innovation, new application models, new consumer-centric usage models, both the devices and the applications. And I think, as Steve Herad's keynote talked about very much, hey, I want an app store-like thing for my enterprise applications, right? Where you see much of that consumerization coming to corporate IT as well. So it has shifted, right? Applications, usage models will be device-independent. They will become more consumer-focused. And essentially, you know, let's just say, they're going to be more iPhone-like, right? And how we get them and consume them. At Orlando, we sat down and we chatted about, had a great chat at the Cube in Orlando. I asked you a question about apps and infrastructure. And I asked you specifically, are apps leading the way and showing the infrastructure? And you answered, no. Infrastructure's always was a leading indicator to apps. But apps seem to have more momentum. What is the VMware announcement today? How does that shape that thesis that you mentioned? I mean, obviously it looks like more enablement at the software level. What can you share with that? Because that's really was a great point and I want to bring that out again. Yeah. And the point I made there was, hey, you know, us infrastructure hardware guys, right? We create capabilities and then the apps guys come in and use them inefficiently and poorly, but to enable new things. It's sort of that gap, right? Of capability in the infrastructure that then gets filled in by application vendors. And I still believe fundamentally that's the case. You don't write apps for infrastructure that doesn't exist yet. You can't run an application's business that way. So our job as the infrastructure guys is always to create these new gaps, these new vacuums for the app guys to come and fill in. And I think everything we're seeing is very much that case where all of a sudden there's lots of performance that's easily, readily available. You know, think about how easy it is to deploy a VM today, right?  It might be months for me to allow a major new application to occur. Literally now, a few clicks. What do you see in the VMware announcement today given what you guys are doing and at the app level as the core enabler, the disruptive enabler that's going to really tip that over in terms of the innovation? Is there anything new there? Well, I think there are two aspects to it. You know, if we take the Redwood, the vCloud director kind of thing, it really is this idea of being able to rapidly, with essentially no cost, be able to create new virtual data center infrastructure, be able to do it with a security model, with policy based capabilities, with a provisioning environment and the management environments go with it. That is way profound, right? The second thing is all the things about spring, right? Is not just being able to do infrastructure more rapidly, it's not just encapsulating existing applications. It's also enabling a new developer model for tomorrow's applications as well. And that is truly thrilling to anybody who's doing enterprise application development. Yeah, some of the CIOs we had on were saying that they actually benched themselves against the cloud service providers. Do you see those two worlds, the cloud service providers and big IT coming together or do you see the cloud service providers always having an edge over big IT? Well, I think there's an aspect to that that it's not, our job is to make the infrastructure as efficient on both sides of that equation as possible. So that an IT guy isn't making the decision based on cost, he's making the decision based on business relevant factors. This is something, hey, I need to guarantee compliance in this application. This is a business critical infrastructure element for me. I'm going to run into my infrastructure, but I know the cost of doing so is still highly efficient. I might federate it with an external service. I might do test and dev externally, and when that's done I might bring it internally. I might use federation of outside compute capacity so that I don't need to build for peak, I build for average, and I spill over to rent VMs at quarter close or month close. I might say, boy, I want to actually be able to take advantage and federate with some of my key customers or channel partners or business partners I'm going to have. And I'd actually be able to them to be able to view me as their service provider. So hey, just operate and utilize my applications as one of my business partners as well. And that's really the power of the vision that we're laying out. It's not public versus private, it's public and private, and allow them to be federated together into hybrid services that give you the best of both worlds in a seamless, agile manner. Pat, the M&A activity's been hot. You did a Green Plum acquisition, EMC bought Green Plum, which is a nice acquisition. A great acquisition, it's not nice, come on, this is a great acquisition. That is a great team. It was amazing. It was closer to the application head. Game-changing acquisition by EMC Green Plum. Very true. I love you, baby. Welcome to theCUBE, third time. We treat our guests nicely. So it's hot. So the horses are on the track. I tweeted that and said, hey, everyone's out on the track right now. The big guys, Oracle, EMC, NetApp. So talk about what's happening. Why is the M&A activity so hot? Is it an indicator of the fact that people have to retool faster? Is it an activity that they're behind? Is it an activity that they need to move faster? All of the above. What is your view on that? And what's next in M&A? Well, I think it's a couple of different factors are at work. And one is, if you show up at my super session later today, one of my slides is the three views of the cloud, right? The Uber cloud model, the Google's, Amazon's, I'll call it the vertical cloud model, HP, IBM. And then I'll call it the virtual cloud model, EMC, VMWare, right? And of course, we contrast those three. And what we're seeing, I would say, is those business models, those industry structures, those strategic frameworks, are driving the consolidation of all of the medium and small players into one of those pictures. So I think you can look at that lens and say everybody is taking M&A acquisitions to better implement and solidify their view of that strategy of these three different views of the cloud. So one is it's industry structure that's going on. Second is, after the downturn, everybody's coming out of it cash rich, right? You know, people got money to spend. Right there. Right, you know, in that sense. And so, right, there is a clear, right, earnestness to people saying, okay, right, I could pay dividends, I could buy back shares, boy, that's pretty innovative strategy, isn't it? Right, or let's go start, you know, taking more aggressive steps. I think it also indicates that there are only so many exciting assets available, right? You know, good assets that people could take actions on. So, you know, in any buyer and seller market, right? Prices get crazy when there's more buyers than there are sellers. Okay, three parts. People who followed your career know that you, at Intel, you were very pro ecosystem and we just had some VCs on yesterday, top VCs in cloud, talking about how hot it is and they're looking for startups, not the angel stuff, but like real money, real technology. Talk about the ecosystem that's emerging in the startup community because there are guys developing new cool stuff, that very cloud centric that's new. So, talk about your view there and what you see and what your general opinion is. Well, I think like any of these waves, there isn't just the wave of what goes on in terms of what the big guys do, right? There's new university research that's going on and some of that's exciting. There's also then the venture community, right?  It changes consumer computing, new consumer devices, new consumer applications, new enterprise infrastructure, new enterprise applications. And, you know, so all of a sudden, we're seeing a new round of dramatic VC activity again. And they're not going into, you know, startups that are building ASICs and semiconductors, sort of, I grew up, sort of saying, let's go build new infrastructure components, new applications that live on this new model. And virtualization. Yeah, absolutely. It's all riding this cloud virtualization trend and, you know, it's just stunning. You know, 17,000 people at VMworld, right? Dave, I have one final question. I know you want to get a final question. Actually, let me get my final question first and then you close, I'll give you a lesser. So, you've been spending a lot of time in New England lately. Do you like it there? Are you going to move east or can we pry you out of here? We've taken a second home. Fantastic. So, we're half-time and my wife is actually loving this bi-coastal a couple weeks here, a couple weeks there, back and forth, you know. Excellent. Football season starting. Absolutely. We'll make you a Patriots fan. Yeah, hey, you know, maybe the Red Sox still have a shot at that, you know, that final wild-car berth, right? So, we had some readers point out on the blog that Pat Gelsinger has the same exact track that Joe Tucci had, COO, president, CEO. Anything you want to announce here?  Any CEO? I have no announcements on the subject. Pat, it's great. Thanks so much for the interview. I know you're super busy and coming down to the show. I always love you guys. Thanks very much. Great to have you on. Thanks, bye-bye. We'll be right back with, we'll be right back with who's up next, NetApp? Well, let's see. Who? We've actually got, I think we got one of your customers on, Tim Garzy. Let's see it, Pat, thank you. CIO.


One-bit coding metasurfaces with reconfigurability, high efficiency, and control over phase and amplitude are challenging to realize, but Li et al propose a reprogrammable hologram based on this concept that allows for electrical switching of the state of each unit cell.

You may never hear this about the narcissist in another video. This is something you may never hear in another video. It's something that you may not want to accept. But it's the truth. And it's something that you need to recognize. Many videos about narcissists on YouTube talk about how important you are to the narcissist. But the truth is, you're really not that important to them. You're not that significant. It's an illusion. They're giving you a deceptive appearance. They're giving you a false impression. You may be in a relationship with a narcissist. And you may think you mean something to them. You think you're something significant, but it's just an illusion. You will never be anything important to them. Because they just see you as something temporary. They see you as something that serves them for a limited time. Something to sustain their existence. You're just a toy to the narcissist. And eventually they get bored of the toy. They no longer take care of it. They no longer give it any attention. They just forget about it. Because it no longer has the same effect on them. It no longer excites them. They're not that interested in you. Because the narcissist is constantly distracted by other things. They're always looking for the bigger, better deal. The next shiny new toy. Which is why they give other people more intention. Than they give to you. They treat other people a lot better. They always treat the people closest to them the worst. Because it's very easy to get rid of them. It's very easy to insult them and put them down. Because you no longer have any use to them. Which is why they feel like it's so easy to replace you. Because now they're so familiar to you. That it feels normal and usual. They're comfortable with you. They don't regard or treat you as more important than other people. They can replace you just like anyone else. Because they see you as something temporary. They're not planning to keep you around for a long time. At some point they know they're going to get bored of you. Or that you're going to figure them out. And that is why they don't put much effort into you. Because they already know you're not going to be around for a long time. And they don't feel any need to change that themselves. So they have to find someone else. They can't help themselves. They have a compulsive desire for excitement and adventure. They need constant attention. They need to have something new. They need constant praise and admiration. Because they enjoy the effect that it has on them. It makes them feel better about themselves. So they have to keep trying to find something newer and better. Which means that whoever is with them is destined to be discarded at some point. Which is why you should never think that you are anything significant to the narcissist. You should never think that any of the times you shared was something significant. But this is something that is very difficult for most people to comprehend. Because you might think that after everything you did for them. After everything you put up with. How could it not mean anything to the narcissist? But it didn't mean anything.  To give them what they need. To make them feel better about themselves. To make them feel alive. They need to have different people to make them feel like they exist. The only reason why they will stay with someone for a long period of time. Is because that person is still giving them what they need. And they are willing to put up with the abuse. But even when they are with one person. They will have other relationships on the side. They cannot survive without having multiple relationships at the same time. Because they are addicted to people. They are addicted to the attention they get from them. So you were never anything significant to the narcissist. You were never the only one in their lives. It was never something exclusive. It wasn't restricted to you and only you. You shared them with other people the entire time. They never belonged to you. They were never yours. You never had anything. So you never lost anything. You were just wasting your time with a narcissist. Because you were expected to have something meaningful. You thought you had something that was worth investing in. But you were just wasting your time. Because you were just a substitute for someone else. If someone is really committed to you. They are going to be careful not to inconvenience or harm you. They are going to be considerate of you. But narcissists are very immature. They don't want to talk about anything deep or meaningful. They don't want to solve problems. If someone really cares about you. They are not going to let something get blown out of proportion. They are not going to let it go too far. But the narcissist will.  But if you were so significant and important to them. And they really valued you. They wouldn't let it go that far. And that is how you should know. That you're not significant to the narcissist. You're not important. You may think that you've worked hard in yourself. And you should be worthy of appreciation and respect. But for the narcissist. This isn't their first rodeo. They've been around the block a few times. They've experienced this before. They've seen people rise and fall.  You're not special to the narcissist. You don't really mean anything to them. But you could be special to someone else. You could mean something to someone else. Someone who recognizes what it took for you. To become who you are. Someone who understands your worth. Because a person like that. Is not going to mistreat you.  Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonate with you. Please like. Comment. Share. And subscribe.
