Everybody, happy Wednesday, February one. I'm so excited, because I'm back in here with my new back splash, old, possibly old friend, many lives friend, Sarah up in Canada. Hi everyone, how are you doing? We were just talking about dogs. We're gonna do a monthly reading obviously because Sarah is a very talented tea leaf reader. If you guys missed the last episode we did together, I will put that down in the description box below so you can check out the last episode we did together where Sarah really introduced herself and her talent. But how are you doing today, Sarah? Good, it's been a bit of a busy day. I was outside, Brace knows we're outside with our chocolate lab, named Brie in a snow bank throwing snowballs. So it's been a good day aside from that and replying into the lovely people who are friends, some of which have now emailed me for readings. That's so nice, it's so neat. So if I'm not gonna come back in touch with you, maybe check your junk folder and just see if it's in there but I'm working very hard and Brace has been helping me with everything in the background. So it's amazing and everyone has been so kind. Like when you say in your videos that you have the best nicest people on your channel it is completely true. Like I always believed it, but now that I'm interacting with our friends and on the receiving, like it's just amazing. Everyone truly is genuinely amazing. So yeah, and it's real too, the real thing. And that's what I love about this corner of the internet, because I watch a lot of YouTube videos of other corners, I take mental breaks where I'll watch the drama channels just for shits and giggles or something. And they're always competing with each other, the content creators, but our channel, our corner of the internet over here, we have the same, it's a community of people. Like we all have the same subscribers, we all have the same, we get to know each other. And that's why we put ourselves on YouTube and not to necessarily create it like a, it's more of like a battle cry, right? Like, you know, we're in a, in any way. So I know we're talking about, I said we were talking about dogs when we first signed on cause your little girl's still quite young and labs are there a handful, aren't they? We are, we had had dogs before, but we had, like we always got rescue dogs. And with this one, we just sort of ended up meeting her within 22 hours. But of getting her, when she was like two days shy of nine weeks old and she's a sweetheart, but she's, we've never had a lab before and we love Nacondo. So we're taking her out all the time and she's just very, very high energy. She's very sweet, but she's stubborn and she has a mind of her own.  But when my sister, after university, her and her then boyfriend, now her husband, they moved out to Colorado for a couple of years just to like have fun, work, you know, little jobs at the resort and snowboard and ski.  So they, they were like, we're just gonna, but they lived in a little apartment and they, and Steven, her boyfriend, then now husband had his own, he had blue, a yellow lab who's since passed away and Mo. And my sister, I mean, these labs are, they just go, go, go, go, go. And they will jump in the coldest water and they will retrieve anything. That's what they are trained to do. I were, so back when my sister lived in, I don't know if I've told the story on my, on my channel before, but I would love to hear if anybody watching had a similar story. So back in, in the USA and in this time when my sister, this was years ago, Colorado, the state Colorado had made marijuana semi-legal at this point, you could go to a distillery and get, if you had a card, and my brother-in-law, then her boyfriend had a card. And so he would go to the distillery and tell your right and get stuff. And he had gotten like a cheesecake, you know, he would get a lot of food items as well. Well, my sister and her boyfriend had gone out for the night and they came back and the whole cheesecake was gone. And it was my sister's dog, Mo, who had gotten the cheesecake and our dad is a veterinarian, but I don't think my sister wanted to call our dad. So she called the local vet in Colorado and she was freaking out.  Like what's going, and the vet started laughing hysterically. He was like, this happens all the time. He was like, your dog's just gonna have to write out the high. Like basically. And my sister said, Mo, her dog has brought two paws. He was walking like this. Like, he just had too much fun. She said he was high for like three days. Like, that's for three days. And she would say that I was saying the other day, they would go and they would go, they traveled around following Fish or Widespread Panic. This was before mayors, before kids, all that kind of stuff. And so whenever they would go to different towns to travel for a weekend to go see the Fish or Widespread Panic, their neighbor would watch their dogs. And their neighbor was a law cross-country runner, would run the Rockies like crazy. And their dogs loved it because they got to go run with him. My sister and her husband are not, actually my brother-in-law now is a marathon runner, but then he was not, he was a pothead. Like he was not running, he was snowboarding.  The dogs would be like, so sore for just. Just like, I can't move. Well, she seems pretty quiet right now, but she was in her snow bank, but I'm like, this afternoon, well, I need to go back to the beach or somewhere. I mean, there's like about 10 inches of snow here. I would say almost that now. So she's happy, but I can only imagine those dogs must have been so sore because they had a good time. They had a good time. And they don't realize how tired they are. That's the thing. They don't, they will literally go in fully. Your lap's still young.  We would have to take him on like these five mile loops in order to just get an hour's worth of peace. When we got home. Yeah. And he'd be hyper again. And my boyfriend would laugh and be like, I wouldn't be there and he'd have to take a shower.  My boyfriend would be like, he'd be like in the shower, you have to sneak out of the shower just to check to make sure like the dog had not gotten into the recycling or gotten into the trash or, you know, he was just, he dug a hole.  Cause we couldn't keep him in a crate. He would, every, we tried so many different crates. He would watch my boyfriend tie, do the carabiner or do whatever. And he would watch it and then he would undo it and get out.  He's a street dog. So they're smart. And so we would have to put him in the bathroom cause he couldn't get out of the bathroom. And so he dug a hole.  He dug a hole. So, yeah. So for anybody who's dealing with puppies right now. We totally get you. You're not alone. No, it will improve. Things will improve. It will pass. It's just patience and breathe. It will pass. They're like children. So. It's a long term commitment. They do settle down. Brie has settled down since she was just a little baby. But it, we have literally spoken with people out walking around with Brie since we first started taking her out for walks and adventures around here. Cause we do live very near to the late lake you're on. So there's a lot of beaches and things we can take her to off season. And literally everyone who has had a lab or at least a chocolate lab have always said the same thing. They calm down. Oh, they calm down. We have heard ages two, three, five, seven, 10 and 16. And I'm like, okay. I think five is cause Robbie, we think Robbie now is six. We think he's six. And it was around the age of five that he got real calm. That he's still, we still exercise him a lot. We still have to, but he started to really calm down more. I actually think when Robbie is an old man, he's going to be an ordinary old man. He's going to be like the old grumpy dog. So leave me alone. Give me a toy. Give me, give me a treat. I'm going to have a nap. We always say cause beta in Canada, where he's from in a, he's from the state of Mysore. So Karnataka and there's like so many different languages in India, but Canada is a language they speak for Karnataka and beta is that's no, and they do their hand. And where I was like, Robbie's going to be like, they'll like beta, like all that beta to the young ones beta. Just leave me alone. No. So he's so funny. All right, you guys. Well, just in case, I am going to go ahead before we get into the subject matter at hand, I'm going to go ahead and share once again, Sarah's channel. Go ahead and subscribe because out of all of the truth, there is Sarah, I think you're the only tea leaf reader. I think you're right. You had mentioned that. And I think you're, I don't know of anyone else in the truth or a community that is doing, doing tea leaf reading, to be honest. And it's so fascinating. Once again, if you missed the first episode I did with Sarah, I will put that down on the description box so you can rewatch it where she talks more about how she got into tea leaf reading, all that kind of stuff. We also have, you can click here for her website. I already have it pulled up, but here is her website. I know that she's working behind the scenes to be more, to figure out how to work with, with those of us who are not Canadians. And it's amazing because it's so, I mean, they're trying hard.   And I was like, I'm like thinking honestly, I don't even know what, I have no idea what that says. So, so what we're going to do guys, I think every month in the, to the perceivable future, hopefully it won't be that long of a future because hopefully we're too long, we'll all be living in a new timeline. But, but for the perceivable future, we're going to have Sarah come on and talk about each month and what she get, what spirit wants to tell us to expect in the upcoming month at hand. So, for our friends who are watching, yes, yes. So should we get started? I don't know. Well, I want to say though, I know we talked about this last time I do have a disclaimer in the front of my videos, but we know this is entertainment purposes, only you guys like, we, we, we, you know, take what resonates. I, I see this a lot with the books I read from channelers. And I know this for myself, like as a human being, we are always dealing with our own perceptions of reality. And so for channelers, they're giving you messages from how they perceive it through their own lens. So take what resonates, you know, with, with any divinator. I think, I think you can speak for that. If any, just take what resonates. Take what, when you will, leave what you don't. I have that disclaimer on my website on the about section of my video in the description of each video and an audio version of me speaking, where I was saying a disclaimer at the beginning of every video, covering myself in every which angle, it's really is take what you will and leave what you don't.  I'm not into that, make your own decision. I've had people over the years say, ask me, should I leave my significant other? I'm like, I'm not going to tell you what to do. That's not the point of a reading. It really is take what you will and leave what you don't. I just, I would say, just keep open mind whenever you have a reading and just say, okay, this is what is coming through right now. Timing events as we know can definitely can change. So just at this moment in time, what I say, whatever's coming through the leaves at this moment in time is accurate, but things can change. And this is just the timeline. This is just one series of events that I am seeing right now. It doesn't mean that it's set in stone. Doesn't mean not me that I'm a hundred percent, right? I do not claim to be a hundred percent, right? The only 100% all the time is source creator, God, universe, source, mother and father, whatever you want to call that. So I'm literally just a messenger just saying whatever I'm saying. So definitely an entertainment purpose is only make up your own mind, but everything and use your own sound, discernment and judgment for everything. And I think it's a very healthy thing to do anyway whenever it comes to anything, but also readings especially. We're not going to tell, I never tell people what to do. I'm like, in some cases and some readings I'm going to say if it comes through, I'm telling you what to do, but I'm not telling you what to do. This coming through so strongly that here's what you should do. But I'm not, I'm going to say that, but do what you want to do. Yeah. And I also think divination too. It's like a forecast, like the universe is giving you a forecast. And so you take the information and you work the information that's going to be the best for you as well. You know? Absolutely. It's like the meteorologist saying, grab an umbrella today because it's going to be raining or there's going to be rain today. So now you have the choice whether you like being wet in the rain or whether you want to grab an umbrella. Right. Or maybe the forecast will be different. Maybe if you check a different forecast, it'll see something different and it won't rain. Or whatever the case may be, it really is a take what you will and leave what you don't. I'm going to tell you what to do. This is just giving us a peek into what is coming up, knowing that things can change. And sometimes who's to say, sometimes information may come through that is not accurate because that's what we're not supposed to hear. They accurate. We're supposed to hear whatever is coming through. I'm not saying it's not accurate. Just saying that I'm just saying whatever I'm seeing and it's whatever God wants us to know at the time. And sometimes God doesn't want to tell us. And that's why, oh, surprised. Like I was just telling you because sometimes like in the past, if I see this is again, this is how I do my telephonies. I see a grouping of tea leaves that are very, very tight. I'll say, oh, we're getting a surprise because in the past when I've said to clients, oh, we're not supposed to know. I want to know. And they get kind of like, oh, but I want to know. I'm like, well, okay. Swap, not supposed to know with the word surprise. Surprise.  I'm like, it's still ways of saying exactly the same thing. It's just we're not supposed to know whatever this is right now. And there's something really good on the way that we're not supposed to know. And I will say as much as I can see that's happening with that grouping. And the universe is always conspiring for your best interest. And so if there's something that spirit doesn't, we're just gonna do a general reading for the month of February. So if there's something spirits like they can't know this right now, we have to trust that, that it's okay.  So there's some things that we have to, we have to. I know you got that with my reading there was some surprises, like there's some stuff that spirit just can't tell you right now because you're not in a place to understand it, that you're definitely right. Absolutely, absolutely. One time I did a reading for myself and this was even several years ago and I prepared the cup, I did everything as I normally do and I looked in the cup and all the leaves were on the bottom. There was like nothing on the sides at all was completely clear and the whole, all the leaves stayed in the bottom and all the water had come out but all the leaves were covering the base and it was like a thick layer. I'm like, oh, okay, I'm not supposed to know. There's something coming that I'm not supposed to know. It doesn't mean it's bad. I only do the good stuff is what I say and people say, tell me the good, tell me the bad. I'm like, well, define bad, but anyway. Well, I wanna, let me just pause on that for a second because I just feel the need. I was having a conversation with our friend, Emmy today and I've been very honest. My birthday's coming up on Saturday and I have a really hard time with birthdays. I've always really struck, it started at age 27. I just really struggle and I don't know why.  I always, I'll tell you, I'm coming up on 40. And I was talking through it with Emmy and I was talking through when I started being triggered by what was, and I had some breakthroughs of thought but I was this morning, in my practice, I was thinking about the last 10 years of my life about everything that you accomplished. And I think, Sarah, you're probably a lot like me in this way, because we're the same age and we're born the same year. And I think that a lot of people that are in this timeline, we didn't take the road, the path that we were supposed to traditional path, right? And that was not our mission. That was not our mission to take that because we had something, we came down here for a purpose for a reason. But I was sitting there and I was trying to go through my head because I feel that pressure because I do possibly wanna have a baby at some point you have all these things in your head. And I was thinking about the last 10 years from 30 to 40, everything that has happened to me in my life, the good, the bad, the ugly. And I got kind of a little bit cracked up with the idea that things happen, perceived things happened to us that we think are bad, but they end up being really good.  And I became the only female authorized in the state of Georgia to teach us. It threw sweat, blood, grit, and it took so much to do that. And just the traveling and just, that's why I don't have a child. It's like, and then when the, and then I was working at AYA and then Todd basically was like, you can't teach here anymore because you're authorized, you need to go start your own program. You need to have your, you need to be the headmaster of your own program. So I opened up a program in the suburbs. So I would drive every morning from Midtown where I live in Atlanta, all the way up to the suburbs and run a program. And my program was growing. I mean, it was growing, it was growing, it was growing. I was the only traditional yoga program in that area. And I had so many students. And then what happened? Lockdown. Yeah. And the studio I had started my Charlotte in was brand new. So it couldn't sustain. And so it shut down. Yes.   And when my program shut down, it was like everything I had worked for were so learning Sanskrit. I have three Sanskrit teachers in India and they scare me more than anyone. Like Indian professors are scary. Like they're so strict and they're so scary. And, you know, I learned Sanskrit. I learned, and all of a sudden it was gone. It was just gone. But what was happening is something else was happening. Yes. I was opening up a YouTube platform. And now, at first when I was on YouTube, I never, I didn't speak about yoga. I never, but then it evolved into the spiritual talk and all, and so all of a sudden now, this authorization is taking on a new life of its own in a different way. I'm doing these shadow, I'm using my education to do the shadow work challenges, you know? So I want to choose an example for you guys. Like, what I get what Sarah is saying, what we perceive in the moment is bad is always working in our favor. Absolutely. You know?  So I decided I'm going to go into business and take a business course. It ended up taking business administration, marketing co-op, very long phrase, but anyway. Did that and I got into marketing. I did office jobs for many, many years and in 2009, that's when the manufacturing sector crashed in the US and that's when everything was happening there. And where I was working, the company served that sector and I'm like, I knew it was on the way. I knew my job was coming into an end there at that time and no hard feelings. That was just the way that it was happening for me and many, many, many other people. And so it happened. I was laid off. It was all amical and whatever. And at that time there was a spiritual retreat pilgrimage tour that I wanted to go on in the UK and I could not do it because I didn't have my vacation days. So guess what? I was laid off and then one spot opened up and I messaged the lady and she said, yep, you're in. So I mean, I ended up getting food poisoning or something before. So I was delayed by going over by a few days but I got to go on this one tour that I really, really genuinely wanted to go on. It was very enlightening. So all spirituals, all Celtic spirituality. One of my favorite things is Celtic spirituality.  So that was just a very small example and that was years ago. But things like that happen, I think daily. Yeah. And sometimes we get so caught up in the drama of our perceived, what we perceive as bad to not realize that there's something bigger happening. There's something bigger happening. And I was telling Emmy, like you're now on YouTube as well, how cool is it that you get to share your experience with so many people? You get to share that with so many people now for free. That's how I feel blessed that I get to share so much about what I've had the privilege of being able to go to India so many times and acquire this information. And it's almost like God saying, well, what's the good in having this information? If it's not in a place where it can really be shared. Exactly. I had been thinking of having, I've contemplated having YouTube channel for many, many, many years, but I just didn't, it didn't feel right. I wanted to, but I didn't. There was some friction around it. And then like I said, last year, after two odd years of everything happening, I'm like, okay, God, let's go, let's do it. Do it. Obviously this is the time, you know? Yeah. And so I'm so glad we paused on that for a minute, you guys. So I really want people, I know we get, my friend, Shanti at Aquarius Rising Africa calls it the drama of it all. It's the drama, you know? And I posted something in the signal group this morning cause I, Marnie Alton had released something and she always has great words to say and she talks about that. Like everything's always happening for you. The chaos, everything, you know, it's happening in your favor.  If you just allow it. Well, with that being said, if you're being abused or that you need to like move away, we're not talking about that. I don't want to bite into like, if you're, but like when things happen that are out of your control, you know? Like with the lockdown, it was out of our, no one, I mean, no, we had never been in this situation before ever as a globe. No. Cause what was, it was happened, there was nowhere to run. It was in the past, if one country was going tyrannical you could just immigrate to another country. We can't do that now cause all of the countries are in this situation. And so it forced a lot of us, what was perceived as being something really bad because businesses were being lost, all sorts of stuff. But that, that's the friction, right? That's the beautiful friction. That's the, I always use that example. And this is something I taught even before YouTube. We have a match. The match has everything on it, it needs to light, but it can't do anything until it's struck up against the match book. And, and not interrupt, but that's a very similar to an image that I often will see, or I shouldn't say often, but it shows up whenever it needs to in TV reading is a, as a keyhole. Sometimes I'll see a key, but sometimes I'll see a keyhole. And I'll say exactly that. You have everything that the situation looks like. It's going, well, you have everything that you need in order to do it. You just need to put the key in and turn the lock. That's all you have to do in that situation. You need to strike the match. You just need to put the key into the lock to open the door. You just have to take an action. If you feel it's the right thing to do at that time it's for the greatest good of everyone involved and you're safe and everything else, of course, but sometimes you just have to take that one action. That one, that one moment. And it's a death in human condition though, like humans, and I'm guilty of this, we get complacent. Yes. If things aren't really bad for us, we won't change.  Well, and that's why universe comes in and is like, guess what? We're going to shut the whole world down. And sometimes you get comfortable in the feeling of not good because even though you want better, sometimes you just get, you're comfortable because it's what you're used to. You expect it. And you want to change, but sometimes you're like, I don't know because it's scary. Yeah, how many people stay in bad marriages? Because they're afraid of, the bad they know is security versus the possible good that's unknown. And so sometimes universe will come in, spirit will come in and be like, if you're not going to do this, we're going to force you to do it. We're going to rip the carpet out from under you. And so I really want people to have, I don't want people, like I don't want fear, fear is false evidence appearing real. That's all, or it can be forget everything and run, but I don't want to do false evidence appearing real. Because that's what my teacher will say in India, like if you're having like an issue on your mat and you're sweaty and there's a posture that you're really just, it's messing with your head, he'll go, why are you fearing? Why are you fearing? And you sit back and you go, why am I, what is this triggering in me? And then that starts to unravel the fear, because fear is false evidence appearing real.  According to the law of one, what earth is going through right now, every single person on this planet right now is a high priority soul. Meaning, doesn't mean that there are souls that aren't a high priority. It just means that your soul was capable of handling this. And that's beautiful. And I think it's beautiful. Like remember when I first heard you say that once in one of your videos, I thought, oh, it just, it's so reassuring to hear that because it just gives you a thing, validity and confirmation and reassurance that you're okay, keep going, things are gonna, you just have to hang in there, just keep going. And it's not about being fearful. I mean, I've had, no one has bolted out of a reading yet ever, but some of the people don't want to have a reading especially a few times have been in a group setting and one of the clients there or a lady, if someone will be present and they don't want when they're afraid, I'm like, that's fine, I'm not gonna force you. You do what you want to do, but nothing scary has ever come up in the TV reading specifically. So just take it from what you will, leave it to don't, but it's not about ignoring anything that's bad. Like you say, if you're in a bad marriage, if you're in a bad situation, if you feel like that fear is like a divine guidance factor. If you're being, if that fear, there's a difference. Like sometimes if you feel fear, what is that fear? And that's something that for years I had to like figure out like, okay, what is this fear that I'm feeling that I'm picking up on? Is this fear, is this fear mine? Is this someone else's, is this spirit? Is this gut? Yeah. God, like what is this fear that I'm feeling and is this a guidance to not be in that situation or is that something that I need to like, where is it coming from and address it? So does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely.  Right?  No, no, no, no. We're talking about stuff that is out of your control that might come up, that might be seen as something scary, but you have to understand, listen, I want everybody listening to truly understand this. When the sperm hits the egg, there is a flash of light. That's you. That's intentional. God did not put you here by mistake. Your life is not a mistake. No, no. And I know from my own experience, how many times have I felt throughout my whole life and I was bullied horribly when I was little. I'm sure many of us were, but in my experience, how many times in my life have I been in a situation and I'll just sit there or I'll get it with scurry away from that situation whenever I was in and I'll just hey my head and say like, I'm not even worthy of breathing in the air that I'm breathing. I know that may sound extreme, but I've been there, I've had that experience.  Sometimes I do that, but it's because I get you, I know what that can feel like. That humanness, that's being very human. And I do think, I think a lot of us went through a rough childhood, different socioeconomic backgrounds, different reasonings, but I think we had to learn. And that's what Magdalene says in her gospel, you have to descend before you can ascend because that's the compassion. And that's the difference between like us and psychopaths is that for us, we can experience those dark nights of the soul, those times of wanting to hurt ourselves, have to be careful what we say on YouTube and then come out of it. But then when we know someone else is there, we can have that empathy and that compassion whereas a psychopath won't. And that's the biggest difference and that's where the love is and that's where the vibration of light is.  Cry, journal, what can appointment with Sarah to have a really like, it's okay to feel those feelings. Don't think that's not okay because those are human and those feelings do provide you with information. So, all right, should we get going? Yeah, so one more thing, sometimes a reading is like not the best course of action, I'll say that too. I've had over the years, some people have approached me for reading and I'll say to them, I've said this before and many in a few other sessions I've had with clients. Sometimes a reading isn't what you need right now. Sometimes I'm not a medical professional. I don't pretend to be, this is no substitute for any medical advice or by any means. So I myself had a long story but I myself had spiritual psychotherapy sessions. I was on the IVC that I had many, I had a few sessions, several sessions over 10 years ago. One of the best things I ever did but I knew I needed help and I knew a reading wasn't, but I needed at that time. So I saw help otherwise. So don't ever think that these readings are a substitute for anything like that because those other modalities, they do have their place. And I know a lot of people in our community don't like therapists but I had a really great experience with my trauma therapist. I had a great experience with my therapist. I loved therapy. I was sad when I was dismissed. I was sad. Well, by the last session, I was like, oh, I'm sad. Like I was like, and like I felt like good after, like after several sessions I'm good. But I was like, oh, I liked it. It was so, after the first one, I'm like, I really enjoyed it. It was, no. I was like trying to think of another problem. So I would have to go. But therapy helps me so much because it gave me a therapist. I know they're, listen guys, I know, don't leave comments. I know they're a bad therapist. I understand that. But when we see the world in black and white, we're missing the point. There are people, people don't become therapists to be, they become therapists to help people. And my therapist in Atlanta was a genius. She used, she was herself. She had a whole library full of Eastern philosophy books. So she was very familiar with my background in yoga. And she used a lot of that to really help me because that was my perspective of understanding. Exactly. So, so she was amazing. She was amazing. And so I highly suggest therapy to people, therapy.  She's actually Canadian as well. And she said, of course, she was, yoga's great, but have you tried talk therapy? Like, it's like, it's true. I love my therapist. Actually, no, another psychotherapist. She doesn't, she doesn't do the spiritual psychotherapy, but she's another therapist. And I love her. I think she's amazing. Like past life or something there with her, but she's amazing. I think she's a wonderful, but there again, I know she's there. If I ever need her, I can always message her and say, hi, are you free? Can I book a session? But that's, I know I have her in my back pocket. If I ever needed to feel the need to go to her, I can. But yeah, there's good. There's bad, I think in everything. My therapist, same way when I, she was like, don't ever hesitate to just call me if you need help in a little, she's like, if you have a whole situation come up that you don't know what to do, just call me, we'll talk it through. Cause they don't, therapists don't tell you what to do.  So, so yeah. All right. Well, I'm actually going to put you on the full screen, Sarah. So everyone can see you. I always still, when I have people, I'm always like staring. So I'm going to put you on the full screen. While you do, but you do your thing, girl. I'm just getting the water boils in the background. So I'm just reboiling it. Boil it first. But I'm like, oh, we've been talking for a little bit. Like it's probably gotten a little warm by now. So I'm just waiting for it to. That's okay. I'll come back on why it boils. Yeah. So she, I, if you guys missed it again, I'll put the other video down in the description box, but she's, she's, I had asked her in that video, like, how do you do this? Do you drink the tea? Like, but she actually swirls it, which I'm sure she's going to show you once the water boils. And we laughed because down here in the South, it's sweet tea. It's iced tea. It's cold. It's iced tea. It's cold tea. We drink cold tea up here in Canada too, but usually that's more of a summer thing. Well, down here in the South, we don't really do winter. It's not really a thing down here. So sometimes they don't get, you don't get to play with your dog in the snowcastle, in the snowcastles, the snow day. My dog has seen snow once. And I told you the one time he saw snow, he was very upset. He thought we were just awful because I think he thinks we control the weather. And he refused to poop. So. What? What? Poor Ravi. Well, he doesn't have to play in the snow. If he doesn't want to, it's fine. He's living in the right place.  My boyfriend was like, he must be from Canada. Just enjoying the warmth.  I love the winter. I love the nice, I love the cold. I love it. I've asked him, I can't go on it very long, but I do love it.  And my boyfriend's like, he must be from Canada. Probably. Probably. One of my good friends from Toronto and my besties, he would, before the lockdown, he would come down a few times a year to visit in Atlanta. And he always wanted to come here. He never really wanted me to go there because I figured it out because he would come during the winter. And he would have taken some time. He's just a snow bird. He's just a snow bird. He's hiding in the cold. He's hiding out in the warmth of the south. A lot of Canadians do that. They're called snow birds. Yeah, there's a lot in Florida. Yep, yep, yep. So. Yeah, there's a lot. I'm just gonna get the water one second. It's boiling. Okay, you're good. Yeah. Okay. So I'm just gonna scare her. I am prepared to have my charger and I have a little charger here. So if my phone battery goes down, at least I'm prepared. Okay. So I have kettle. So today we are using something different. We are using chai black tea. So it smells like spice cake. Smells really good. Very Indian, the chai black chai. Very Indian. I actually like chai. Chai is, yeah. Chai is good, but yeah, I'm a coffee drinker.  So obviously God has a sense of humor because I do TV fitting, but I'm a coffee drinker. I don't like a lot of tea. I don't know this. I don't know. I'm a coffee, but chai is good. I will drink some chai. I will drink some. Okay. So for timing, could you keep an eye on the time for me because I'm gonna be like absorbed in the tea leaves. So how long did you want this reading to go for? Cause I'm totally finding it for however long, but Let's, what do you think is good? So it's 312 right now. How long do you think would be good for a general reading for? We could do like a half an hour general reading. And then that way we're not rushed trying to do it for 50 minutes. And then that way we have a good solid half an hour. Perfect. So I will keep. Yeah, absolutely. I will keep an eye on the time and I'm gonna let, I'm gonna put you back on full screen here. So. Maybe when we get to the 50 minute mark, please let me know. And then that way I can sort of pace myself halfway through. Is that okay? Perfect. Perfect. Awesome. So I have the tea leaves here. Just checking the consistency. So in case of people are wondering about it, like this is what I did last time. I put the hot water in. I have the tea loose. I use a, it's bag tea. It's fine. I put it in and put hot water in. So I'm just checking the consistency now. Right now there's way too much liquid in here. A little bit too much liquid. So I'm just gonna strain some of it out into a bowl. And it's just again to get the consistency, right? Too much of liquid, too much tea. They all, all the leaves stay and all the leaves fall out. So that's what I'm, that's what I'm doing right now. Okay, that's good. I'm just gonna put a little bit more liquid in. So that's the consistency that I'm wanting where it will clump on the base as I'm swirling it around. Kind of like not split as I'm swirling it, but it clumps. That's what we want. Cause that way that means that some of the leaves will stay in the base. Like they'll stay in the cup. Okay. Just a little bit. I'm gonna put a little hot water in just to make sure that I have exactly the right consistency. I'm being a little bit precise right now. Okay. Okay, perfect. Okay. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to just push the leaves back down in the sides of the cup. Push them down from the swirling. Okay. Dear source creator, please and thank you for allowing this reading to be accurate for everyone involved. And please and thank you for letting it be the most and the highest good for everyone involved. And this is a general reading for our friends of watching this video. Okay. So I'm gonna swirl. Okay. I think you heard stop. So I stopped. I'm putting the plate on top. Flip it over. In case anyone wondering what I was just doing, I was just clearing out my hand shockers. In case anyone was just like, what did she do wiping her hands off? Okay. And then I'm just gonna turn it about three or four times. I know tradition states three times, sometimes I do four. I'm just gonna let it drip dry just for a few seconds. I'm just gonna let the water absorb a little bit here. I do this so the water won't pool in the base and change any leaves that are in the base. I don't get all the water sometimes. If so, I'll just gently dab it, but this just sort of prevents that from happening. People make it a little bit bored watching me because all they're gonna see is like the top of my head and like the top of my forehead looking in the cup. So apologies for the boredom that anyone may experience watching me. I think it's fascinating because most of us are not, I would reckon that 99.9% of the people watching right now are not teeny breeders. So this is very interesting to see how it's set up and done. So again, it's like everyone has their own way of doing it. Remember, I went online a few years ago. I was just researching generally to see any other readers. I never took a course. Like I said, I'm all God taught other than the book that I read and it's all experienced, it's all from God. And I'm just like literally doing what I'm doing. And I'm like, I'm always a little bit surprised like people are just into your fruiting, like really? But it's just, it's so, it is unique. It is different. It's different. And you don't really see a lot of people doing it. That's the thing. Okay. So here we go. I haven't really looked at it, but these are the tea leaves. And I'm happy to take pictures if you want to post it with the video too, if you like. But these are the tea leaves. Okay. So here we go. Starting up at the top. And thank you for keeping an eye on the time that that helps me so much. No worries. That way I can just focus on this. Oh, okay. Busy. I get very dry. So apologies for putting like lipstick on and stuff as we're talking and chugging water. It's a lot of talking. Okay. So let's start up at the top, which is the current situation. So again, it's now on the way and later. For anyone watching, again, this is how I read up. I do read chronologically. Now on the way and later. I mean, so far I've counted about 14 different individual events or situations, which are happening right now. So I would say that for everyone watching this, there's just a lot going on, which may sound stereotypical, but it's just very, very busy right now. However, that said, there is one made area where things are calm and clear and quiet, and or you want them to get moving a bit more. So I don't want to use the word stuck or stagnation, but if you feel like things, you just want things to get moving a little bit more, that could be the case. And or things are quiet and calm and clear and you're happy with the way that that is present right now, but either way, that could be an either or. But that is in one significant area. But again, that said, there are multiple smaller events or situations which are taking place. And there are two smaller events or situations. It's almost like gold, silver, silver, silver. One main event, two smaller ones that are not as significant, but they are more significant than all the other bronze ones. So that makes sense. So we do have one main event or situation, which is a layout that I often see anyway, whenever I do TV screening, usually typically there is one main event or situation. So we do have that coming up. We also have a lot of other events or situations taking place. They are more short term though. And I say that, I start teaching because if you look around here, you can see that all of these groupings here, they're not as, they don't go down in the cup very far. They're only around this area. So they're not long lasting. So there's going to be other smaller events or situations taking place at the same time. And this is like imminently. So this is for the month of February. So there's going to be one for us collectively or for someone watching one main event is going to happen this month, but there's also little ones happening as well. Okay, I just want to clarify that for the group, for everybody watching right now. This could be collectively, but this could be for somebody watching right now that God, you know. Exactly. This is again, take what you will leave, but you don't. This may be applying to you yourself, myself, someone else, and or neither of us. Parts of this may apply to different people. So this is just a very, this is a general reading for the month of February. So there are some events that are short place. There's also two areas, two other smaller events which are taking place soon that are connected to the main event. But I'll get to that when I start getting down, getting down in the cup a bit more. Generally speaking, there's going to be one, two areas, potentially a third smaller one where we going forward for the month as the month progresses where we are going to be having enough time to focus actually for. Where we're going to be having enough time to focus on what we need to focus on and we're not going to be distracted in too many other areas. So that makes sense. But I would say that based on this, based on the layout that I'm seeing, when I say to my clients, if I was reading for someone individually, I would say just pace yourself. Just really use this time to be as productive as you can, not stressing yourself out by any means. However, if you feel the need to just get things done that you haven't gotten done yet, whether that's purging clause, it's fridges, paperwork, whatever the case is. Because as we go forward as the month sort of gets to the latter half of the month, according to what I'm seeing here, it does get quite busy, gets busier. So again, take that for what you will. Okay, as for this main event or situation, let's get on with that right now. So it looks like this is, parts of it are happening imminently. There's going to be some time generally before a few of the events or situations, like individual aspects of this one main event start occurring. So the way that I describe this quickly is, think of this as a quilt and every single grouping, every single TV from here represents patches of the quilt. So what I'm looking at is individual scenarios taking place in this one main event or situation. So hopefully that makes sense to people. Now, right now at the beginning of the month, there's going to be a few smaller areas, a smaller events or situations taking place. And there was a goal where it's really busy, some of the busyness that I mentioned, that leads directly to this main event. And it starts off with a tree. So we do have abundance and prosperity. It may not be fully formed when it arrives or maybe it's just not what we think. It could definitely still be in the growing, forming phases rather, but there is abundance and prosperity. And there's also like, no, this is tea leaves or an and or, and or there are some kinds of messages, news and information on the way regarding that. And this is like at the start of the month, like right, like at the beginning. And that pretty much proceeds everything that's in here. There may be some, like a little bit of money associated with this. It may also have something to do with a house. Use my ring light just to get a bit more light here. Again, property, it may have some messages to do with pertaining to property potentially and or some kind of messages and information that's regarding two different aspects, but it's a good scenario. It's also forming a happy face. I see emojis. So it's a little face with toe with its tongue sticking out. So it's almost like we're feeling kind of cheeky, we're good, everything's good. It's a happy scenario. I go quiet sometimes, sorry. Personal place to think with a letter W involved potentially. I see potentially in case it makes sense. So the personal place to think with a letter W. Using or there's someone potentially who has an error sign involved. Saying that because there's a figure of someone with a sword beside them. So swords being air. So there may be a someone who's an error sign potentially and or someone who is highly intellectual. So that's where it could go either way. That's what I mean. Okay. This is regarding a few different things, but again, it's a good scenario. They're happy. They may have a prominent nose. And this has something to do with a new beginning of some kind, a new opportunity that is taking form. It may not be a hugely massive new opportunity, but it is present. There's a, we also have a number of version of, sorry, a version of the number seven in here. So like as a tariff knowledge, higher learning, I'm not a numerologist, I don't claim to be, but something to do with as a tariff knowledge. And this may also pertain to messages. Again, a message is news and information on the way involving writing, writing of some kind. With this whole E, sorry, with this whole W scenario, there also may be a person who has to think with a letter E that's involved. But again, there's some conversations and discussions taking place regarding this. Potentially a new opportunity, sorry, a potentially a partnership as well. If so, it's still forming, taking a leap of faith in this whole scenario. I'm trying to read chronologically here. So at the same time as all of this is happening, there's also a feeling of potentially going for what you wanna have, a leap of faith. And if so, that does look positive. We have a small tree there. So when it's in prosperity, this may be involving a family member potentially. And if so, it's a smaller, younger or shorter family member reassurance regarding this. And there's like a loving and nurturing feeling with this. But yeah, going for what you wanna have, leap of faith. There may be a version, oh, sorry, one second. Which way is that going? Okay, it's not in the lead car, I won't say that then. Yeah, happy face. There's a happy face. So happiness. And Sarah, we're at the 15 minute mark. Oh, thank you. That's awesome. I'll speed up, cause we're right up at the very top. Keep going. Overall, as this whole situation concludes or progresses, we're gonna be knowing where we stand with a lot of things. Things are gonna be generally like, we know where we stand, but we do have some surprises on the way. Overall, I won't say it again, just take a, bring repetitive, lots of conversations, thoughts, words, ideas and discussions taking place. Again, we have a version of the letter W, helpful people. Something to do with the letter L. So person place or thing, likely a person with a letter L and that involves close communication between two individuals. I won't say it again. I'm seeing happy faces throughout here. So things are going well. This whole month involves happiness. Independent thought is related to that happiness as well. And I'm also, I keep seeing reassurance. Axis for me just mean reassurance. That's what it just means, doesn't mean Vikings. There's reassurance throughout here. And this is only in this section. So if we're sort of feeling like a little bit angst or something, this is just saying reassurance is present. Like hang in there. It's gonna be okay to hang in there. Reassurance is present. And this is regarding different events or scenarios as part of this overall event. Successful venture, undertaking a new creative project that does look like it is going very well. That involves a helpful individual and some kind of surprise with the letter E. Possibly C, but E. This whole event does have a side event which is really all about creativity. It's all about creative projects, new creative projects, new creative endeavors that we're doing. Creativity. And there's a lot of thoughts and words regarding that. A lot of thoughts and words regarding that. A lot of conversations and discussions. Standing your ground. There also may be a Leo connection involved at later this month as well. Someone maybe who is a Leo and potentially Gemini as well. The letter M, letter M is present. And that helps to create a new opportunity of some kind. And there's love around that situation. Like it's a good situation. Oh, and we have a little dragon. Okay, so definitely protection. To me dragons are like a knight in shining armor and time is 100. So there's a lot of protection. This is a reminder that there was protection involved in this situation. Certainly near like the latter half. The middle to the latter half of the month. Gosh, I keep seeing the letter M. I won't say it again and keep seeing it. A beautiful partnership that is forming near to the end of the month. There's reminders in here for protection that we are protected. And again, that's towards the latter half of the month as well. Going for what we wanna have in him. No, hang on, uninhibited. That's the word. Going for what we wanna have going forward. And that involves someone else who is a younger individual. Younger individual, sorry. Some of us may be partaking on a trip of some kind. This is likely either one trip with two parts to it or there's two separate trips that we're going on. One is more significant than the other. Again, the letter M. But also partnerships as well. Unconditional love, support, loyalty and commitment, protection, nurturing, loving. Really having a lot of like childlike emotions or behavior with this. Like being happy, innocent, loving, protection, companionship, commitment, loyalty. Okay, I've seen two lions now. So there's some Leo connection that's present. I saw it in the main event. And then on this like larger trip, we have an overall picture face here of a lion. So there's definitely some kind of either Leo quality I don't, this is for the month. So this is not representing August in terms of timing late July to late August. But this is more like the qualities and characteristics of Leo. Pride, going for what you want to have, being strong, partnerships. I keep seeing little like little, little Teddy. Oh, sorry, that's our Brie. I have this Brie. Sorry. No, Brie, come talk to your friends. No, no, no, no, come say hi to Brie's friends. Come on. I'm sorry. Sorry, I spoke too loudly. It's got excited. But there's little, Brendal Adamson, come here right now. Here, play with this. Sorry. But there's, I keep seeing Teddy, sorry about that everyone. I keep seeing Teddy bears in here. So that's, I've been seeing that more lately too. And other readings I've been doing. So it's like childlike innocence and love and nurturing and compassion and gentleness, comfort. Brie agrees. Towards the latter half of this month, there's partnerships again. No, partnership to find what partnership is. It could be a new chiropractor. It could be a new friend. It could be anything. But there's new partnerships for me. And this involves some kind of abundance and prosperity. And again, this is towards the latter half, latter part of the month. There's a lot of, I keep seeing dogs for me, that means like unconditional love, support, loyalty, commitment, protection, companionship. I keep seeing indications of that throughout this entire reading. So those qualities are absolutely present from what I'm seeing throughout this month. And then we're in the base. So to me, this is like the end of the month heading into the following month. Very similar in terms of how busy we're gonna be. We're gonna be able to pace ourselves, but it's gonna be, I would say, quite busy. Some surprises, absolutely. But we're gonna really know where we stand with things as well. Personal place to think with the letters H and or I. Okay, what did I say about a keyhole? There's a keyhole. I have to take a picture and I'll outline it and I'll send it to you. So what we just said, now there's also the continent of Africa and for the state. So depending on how you look at that. But there's some kind of you going for what you wanna have. You have all the materials you need to make that decision and go for it and just what we just said before. You have the key, you just have to turn the lock. That's all you have to do. We have all the materials you need in order to get that thing that we want. And all you have to do is just do it. If you feel so inclined, of course, not telling you what to do. But it's all positive. It's all good. There's a lot of love around that scenario. Personal place to think with a B, an L, swiftness, things going quickly. There's just a lot of love and compassion and community. A lot of protection. I keep seeing indications of that throughout this entire reading. Just knowing that we are not alone. There's a lot of love and compassion and nurturing and caring that I keep seeing references to that throughout this entire reading. Some of us may be thinking of moving if so it does look like it's a definitive possibility. Like you may be moving some of us in March and there is protection involved in the scenario. And stability that moving does involve stability. Going for what we want to have. Letter M, yet again, just to wrap it up. Some conversations but really knowing where we stand, people around us who are being helpful. And we also have abundance and prosperity as well. And the abundance and prosperity does absolutely involve some kind of new opportunity of some kind, some kind of new opportunity. But we have a lot of nurturing throughout this entire reading. I just keep seeing different images, referencing loving and nurturing. Teddy bears are everywhere. I keep seeing, I keep seeing it, it's everywhere. The whole month, the head looks like there's just a lot of reassurance that is present, a lot of nurturing. Now what that is, whether it's self nurturing or nurturing from other people, I can't say obviously, or where that nurturing is coming from, but it is present. Which is sometimes just like a nice thing to know that, yeah, there's a nice reminder that there is reassurance present. And let's see anything else here, just to wrap it up. Messages, news and information possibly again about the home and our family. So some kind of family, house and or home connection. But it is loving too, it is loving. There's good news coming to us and it is loving. And this is again the end of the month heading into March. And yeah, just creativity, new creative projects and partnerships that are forming. And again, protection and happiness. How was that? That sounds awesome. I'm like, I'm sitting here thinking I can't wait to see what our friends watching right now, if that triggered anything for you guys, like what messages you picked up from that. But it sounds like collectively we have a really good month coming. I mean, Valentine's Day, February is all about love. That's right, that's right. So we are transitional for us. I mean, we really don't have a winter, but this is a month-thoroughy transfer into spring. So we just get super hot here. So it just sounds like everything's going right on. I love the fact that family stuff comes up with the support of family. And it was interesting. Somebody said, Sarah, for my last video, I didn't even think about this. The amount of M's that came up in the last video for me, a lot of M's came up in this one, Maggillan. Oh, yes, I did see that comment. I went, oh, that makes so much sense.  And these are the Lions. I saw the Lerans, the Leprechaunas. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's amazing. That's so good. And you guys, so again, that was a general reading for whoever's listening, but I'm gonna go ahead once again. I'm gonna show you guys Sarah's YouTube channel and her website. So if there was something in that reading where you're like, that's me, and you want more clarity, I know Sarah's gonna do it next week, hopefully. Sometimes she's gonna do a full reading on me privately because of stuff she pulled up in my reading. I'm like, let's investigate this further. So find her, I will put all these links down in the description box below and she can do a one-on-one with you privately, not recorded, and so she can get more specific for you and for what you need and what you want.  That was amazing, Sarah. Thank you so much. Oh, thank you. It's not me. It's not me, I'm just a messenger, that's all. You have the ability to read it because I keep seeing, I'm just seeing tea leaves. So. Well, I'll take some pictures, I'll send them to you. I will outline a few things just so that you can see them too, but I am actually in the process of editing the new general bi-weekly TV screening that offer my own channel. I have another six minutes left to edit through. I have to edit through it one more time and then I'll upload it. So I'm running a few days behind, but it should be up hopefully by tomorrow. Everything's hard, YouTube is a full-time job, guys. I'm a one-woman show, I know as Sarah is as well. That's just us. We're just doing our best here to do our best, essentially. We're real people, we're doing our best. I do my own editing, the editing is what takes forever. The editing is the bitch, that's what's... The editing is the hardest part. It's so hard and I don't think people realize, it takes me, so if I do an hour deep dive, it takes me, so 10 minutes of footage is about one hour's worth of editing. So an hour deep dive is like six hours worth of editing. It is tedious. I'm like, this is what editors get paid a lot of money in Hollywood because this is tedious. It's tedious, usually when I do a recording, and I think I said this somewhere in my channel update from a while ago, it's somewhere, I said it I think on my channel, to do a bi-weekly TV, I was doing them weekly, but I just could not keep up. So to do a bi-weekly might go clear, at least it's more sustainable. But what I do is I have my little system, I rig it up here and I record it with the camera facing down. It's all just my cell phone, that's all I use really to record. And I record it in clips, so I usually have anywhere from like 45 to 50 odd minutes of recording in time, and then I have to load that into my editor and then I have to splice it out. I use a black phone editor to splice out everything, and then I'm hunched over usually. Now this time I sat down, but doing it for this new video, but usually I'm hunched over talking into the phone, and then I get like winded because I'm talking and I can't take a breath. So every time like I'm right beside the microphone, so you hear every time I go, so I'm gonna cut that out. So freaking, cause I'm listening to him, like that sounds really annoying. So it just takes a long time to splice it out. So the recording of it may take like two to three hours for me to record it, and I have to edit it, and then I have to export it, and then upload it. Yeah, that's the thing too. Yeah, I record, so I record us with people, I record on Zoom. Sometimes I record with just myself on Zoom too, cause it's easy. But yeah, you have to export it, you have to put it into your editor, I have to put it, and then I have to export it from the editor after editing it, and then load it into YouTube. And depending on how YouTube's feeling that day, sometimes it takes no time at all, sometimes it takes hours for something to upload depending on what's going on with YouTube. So yes, and I know our subscribers are so awesome, and they are so supportive of where, where I mean we were laughing beforehand, like I'm in my, I don't know if people believe me, I'm literally in my bedroom. Like this is, they're so sad, it's my bedroom. I'm in my living room, my mom and I live together at a condo, and we have like, it's like one main open floor plan thing, and I'm literally in the corner. There's more daylight coming in because I'm, it's daylight and it's coming in through the window, but I'm just in the corner of my living room. That's all.  Like I'm facing my bed. So anyway guys, well, thank you so much, Sarah. That was awesome. Maybe in a couple of weeks we can check back in and see what's going on for people. Please make sure you go and subscribe to Sarah's channel. Visit her website. She's in the signal group as well for people doing the shadow work challenge. We'll be talking more there soon. I'm so delinquent. No, you're fine. I'm listening. I am so grateful to, we have a few moderators in there that are not content, content providers. They're just subscribers. I'm so grateful to those people, they knew who they are.  Everybody in there is so amazing and they just have these come and I'm just like, this is so fantastic. Like so, so I know I'm not in there that much either. It's cause I'm usually editing, but you know, so it's amazing. We have guys in there now. We had guys before they were very quiet. Now we've got a few men in there doing it. And that's just amazing that the men are in there doing it as well. So yeah, you guys have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the 60 day shadow work challenge that we are hosting my channel and a few other channels are hosting. You wanna be a part of it. It's never too late to start. Just email me at shadowworkchallenge at gmail.com and I will send you, I will happily send you the template. So, all right you guys, well, thank you so much, Sarah.

The point is that the establishment always tells people that their dreams and their aspirations are impossible to achieve, that you've got to think small, not big. But what I am seeing, and I have been all over this country, what I am seeing is that millions of people in our great nation are beginning to question in a very fundamental way the status quo of today. What people are asking is, why does it happen that we have more income and wealth inequality than any other major country on earth? Why does it happen that I have to work two or three jobs and almost all new income and wealth goes to the top one percent? Why does it happen that the job I had in a factory ended because the company shut down and moved to China? Why does it happen if I am a woman that I'm making seventy-nine cents on the dollar compared to men? Why does it happen that if I am a college graduate I end up fifty, seventy, ninety thousand dollars in debt? Why does it happen that if I am a little child I may have to go hungry or even sleep out in some car in this country because there is a lack of affordable housing? Why does it happen that in America we remain the only major country not to guarantee health care to all people? And the American people are beginning to catch on and they're beginning to understand that in the richest country in the history of the world we can do much, much better than we are doing today. And they understand that the only way that happens and that is what this campaign is about is when millions of people from coast to coast stand up together, fight back for their kids and their parents and demand a government which represents all of us, not just the one percent.


So I was just looking at the videos I made yesterday and I was so excited when I made them And then I go back and I look at them and they're terrible Like the panning is like way too jerky and My voice is flat and weak and sounds depressed and I thought that what the hell that that's not what I remember right, you know, I remember like a whole whole more dynamic series of videos and that's not That's not what came out. So we just don't see ourselves Then I forgot everything I learned from Roger Love right where you're supposed to have that Rising melodic voice where you're going up in pitch as you go through a sentence to convey that that sense of excitement and It wasn't there guys And the panning just was way too herky jerky Now I'm having problems with my gimbal again Okay, let's see how we do this all right, so Thought for today now often there's a whole freight train of reality bearing down on us and We'd rather be obsessed with other people All right, I see that as common Reality is bearing down with us. We got financial emotional physical issues and We just you know rather be obsessed with With ourselves. No, not with ourselves with other people with lost relationships With all sorts of things that we did wrong Well, not with things we did wrong, but with what's wrong with other people, man Is this is this camera tilting and weaving as much for you as it is for me? This is not This is not the primo dream experience that I was hoping for this morning Right, so do you notice that freight train of reality is bearing down on you and you'd rather be obsessed with anyone else, but the reality that's heading your way I Remember in therapy I'd you know, I'd want to talk about what's going on with a friend of mine and There was this you know, why are you talking about her like why are you bringing up her? What way is she so important to you? And I couldn't figure it out But I'd rather get obsessed with what my friend was doing wrong and with what I was doing wrong And then finally my therapist says because she reminds you of you Hmm the freight train of reality. That's that's what I'm thinking about this morning and We'd rather get obsessed with how a football team's doing right international politics Rather than our own finances or our own job our own prospects our own relationships, so This this compulsive thinking That primarily serves to distract one all right, it's also a form of addiction man seems, you know, quite maladaptive I think so much about thinking about sports and politics it's often to Get away from the messes. We've created in our own lives. Do not like the job. I'm doing here Then I'd rather be obsessed with anything else aside from I have a tilted Tilted gimbal right now and that even makes the tilt even worse and get this sorted Come on back Come on back That was tilted too much the other way I'd rather be obsessed with anything right now. They're with the crappy job. I'm doing mastering my gimbal This is not what I signed up for Okay, here we go so I was listening to Misha soles podcast and he was interviewing this journalist from this historian from Georgia and They were talking about how Georgian identity is defined against That's the key. That's true for so many identities. I know like in large part Australian identity is formed against British identity American identity is developed largely against British identity that Jewish identity particularly in the diaspora is developed against The dominant Gentile identity. I really am going to get this gimbal right even if it kills me because you deserve that So how do Jews survive as a distinct people? Having lived for 2,500 years primarily as a minority Right by defining themselves against the majority So Gentiles do X, but we do Y Gentiles thinks think This you know, we think that you know Gentiles practice this you know, we practice that Gentiles have these traits. We have the different traits. So It's a lot easier to define yourself against Rather than define yourself for so it sounds a lot better to decide to define yourself now what you're for but I Don't think it really works that way now in theory like Jewish identity Christian identity Muslim identity Australian identity American identity British identity French identity German identity. He's really strong but All these identities, you know develop against other people, right nationalism Primarily depends upon being against Those who threaten you, right? It's a lot easier to have a strong identity Against that which threatens the survival of your people your group So yeah in theory much better to have a positive identity. I love I'm Jewish because I love Judaism I love Torah of the message of ethical monotheism, but it just doesn't seem to work out that way right and Theoretically Australians could go. Oh, yeah I'm I'm an Aussie because it's just a wonderful thing to be Aussie but it doesn't Don't really seem to work out that way like no Aussies define themselves as against China as against In New Zealand as against England as against Americans so I'm not sure I'm not sure the theory about our developing a positive identity It's really going to be a dominant way to go I think the reality Just Defining you're against what you're against. It's just so much stronger nationalism develops Because you have a fear of Some other group you know threatening your identity threatening the survival of your people But I think I almost have this gimbal down right now I'm just wandering around the central business district. Oh and We're we're quite near Sydney Opera House is a circular key I'm going to be a law abiding citizen here so this is where you get the ferry to Manley or to all-round Sydney Harbour We've got the Sydney Town Hall just up the street This is the central business district. It's really slack This is really slack so much to work on I think my gimbal is simply out of battery Okay, I can just rest here for a minute look out at circular Key out to Sydney Harbour And it's a beautiful Sydney Harbour Bridge All right, it's 7 40 in the morning here


As we discussed earlier, a void pointer is a generic kind of pointer, such that we can assign any kind of pointer to a void pointer without having to use a cast. Just like with the other pointers, we can create pointers to these pointers, so we can have a pointer to pointer to void. So here we have a void pointer variable terry, and a void pointer variable dara, and we assign the reference of terry to dara. Because again, pointers of all types are just addresses, we can convert pointers of any type to pointers of any other type with a cast, But again, the special thing about void pointers of any degree is that we need to cast other pointer types to assign the void pointer variables. So here we can assign dara to terry and vice versa without any casting, even though void pointer and void pointer are different types. The same is not true of non-void pointers, such as here when we must cast both terry and dara when we assign them to int pointer variable illsa. When going the other way, when assigning int pointer illsa to dara and terry, we don't need to cast, but the assignment of illsa to void pointer pointer dara will trigger a compiler warning unless we make the cast explicit. For some reason, the C99 standard decided that implicit casts to void pointers are okay, but implicit casts to void pointer pointers are too error prone to pass without a warning. It's very important in C to distinguish between what the language calls definitions and what it calls declarations. The distinction is quite confusing for three reasons. First, the choice of terms is totally arbitrary. It would have been just as logical of the two terms swapped meanings. Second, all definitions serve double duty as declarations, but a declaration is not necessarily a definition. Third, in common parlance, the terms are used very sloppily. In particular, it is very common to say variable declaration when we should say variable definition. In fact, I made the same mistake in earlier parts of this video. In any case, the distinction between definition and declaration is that a definition actually creates a variable or a function, but a declaration merely states the type associated with a name. For example, a function definition specifies a function's name, parameter names and types, the return type, and provides a body in curly braces because the definition actually creates a function. A function declaration, on the other hand, specifies the name, the parameter types, and the return type, but not the parameter names or a body. You actually can specify parameter names in a function declaration, but they are ignored by the compiler. So here, for example, we have a function definition that creates a function foo, which returns a void, and takes two parameters, an int called x and a font called y, and of course, to create a function, we must provide a body. In contrast, the declaration of the same function omits the body, and so instead ends with a semicolon. An important difference between definitions and declarations is that a variable or function may only be defined once, but may be declared as many times as needed. So the next question is, why do we need declarations? Well, to generate code that uses a name, the compiler needs to know the type associated with that name, and declarations provide this information. In many cases, the definition of a variable or function suffices as it's only needed declaration, but there are two situations where this is not the case. First, the code of a C program is generally split into separate source files that are compiled separately. If code in one source file needs to use a name defined in another source file, that name must be declared in the first source file. Second, C compilers strictly read source code files top to bottom, such that declarations of a name must proceed any use of that name. In many cases, you could rearrange the order of your definitions within a source file to satisfy this requirement, but this won't work if the file includes recursive functions. Besides, having to put our definitions in a particular order is bothersome, so a common practice is to put declarations of every function at the top of the file whether they are strictly needed or not. So consider a few examples. Assuming this shows the entirety of a source file, this call to bar triggers a compile error because no declaration of bar precedes the call. We can fix this by simply switching the order of the definitions. Because the definition of bar also counts as a declaration of bar, the compiler sees a declaration of bar before the call to bar. If we don't feel like reordering our definitions, a bothersome thing to do, we could simply add a declaration of bar in the function where it is called. As long as this declaration precedes any call to bar in the function, the compiler is happy. Putting ad hoc function declarations in your code like this is not a very common thing to do, however. The more common and general solution is to put a declaration of every defined function at the top of the source file. This way we can put our function definitions in any order without upsetting the compiler. Here's how you should actually think about the function declaration syntaxed.  This is confusing because parens are also used to subvert order of precedence. The distinction is that the parens of a parameter list are a post-fix operator just like the square brackets. These parens come after what they modify rather than surround what they modify. Also like the square brackets, these parens have a higher precedence than asterisk. Here we have a declaration of a function called foo that takes two parameters and returns an int. As we just discussed, the way to read the syntax is to read the modifiers on the name in order of precedence. The parameter list is the only modifier, so foo is a function taking an int and char and returning an int. In the second example, the empty parameter list has higher precedence than asterisk, so foo is a function taking no arguments and returning a pointer to int. In this third example, the empty parameter list again has higher precedence than asterisk and thanks to the surrounding parens, the asterisk modifier is applied before the square brackets and so this is a function taking no arguments and returning a pointer to an array of 7 ints. Be clear that these three examples are declarations but not definitions. Each declares a function taking some set of parameters and returning some type. It's also important to understand that not all possible combinations of these modifiers are valid. Reading the modifiers inside out as usual, this example declares a function foo that takes no arguments and returns an array of 7 pointers to pointers to int. But this declaration is invalid because arrays are not values like ints or pointers and so a function may not return an array. Again, reading the modifiers inside out, this example declares an array of functions taking no arguments and returning pointers to ints but this declaration is also invalid because there's no such thing as an array of functions. What we can create however are pointers to functions. Here, reading inside out, foo is a pointer to a function taking no arguments and returning an int. And because we can create arrays of pointers, we can create arrays of pointers to functions. Here foo is an array of 6 pointers to a function taking no arguments and returning int. But again, there's no such thing as an array of functions and so we can't create pointers to arrays of functions. So you're probably wondering what is a pointer to a function, beyond of course just another memory address. Well it turns out that function names are always actually function pointer values. So when we invoke functions in C, we are actually invoking function pointers. Much like in say JavaScript where you can invoke as a function any expression which evaluates into a function object, in C you can invoke as a function any expression which evaluates into a function pointer. Here for example, if we have some defined function foo which takes no arguments and returns an int, then we can assign foo to a variable p which is a pointer to a function taking no arguments and returning foo. We then can invoke the function via the variable p just as we could via the function name itself. Be clear that the argument and return types of a function are integral to the pointer's type. So if the p variable were a pointer to a function taking a char argument and returning int, it would not be a valid assignment target for foo. Like an array name, a function name is a value not a variable. This means that function names cannot be reassigned. Also referencing a pointer to a function does not return a pointer to a pointer to a function as you might expect, but rather simply returns the same pointer value. So here assigning the reference of the function name foo to p does the same thing as simply assigning the name foo itself to p. To be honest, I'm not sure why referencing a function name doesn't simply trigger a compilation error. It's not as if referencing function names does something useful. Another strange thing about function pointers is that like with arrays, there's no such thing as a function value. So dereferencing a function pointer cannot return a function. Instead, dereferencing a function pointer value simply returns the same function pointer value. Here the dereference of the function name foo returns the same function pointer value represented by the name. When we dereference p, we get the same function pointer value which we can then invoke like any other function pointer value. Like with referencing function names, I'm not sure why dereferencing function pointers is allowed because it doesn't do anything useful. Now it is possible to get a function pointer pointer value by referencing a function pointer variable. Here the reference of variable p returns a function pointer pointer. To invoke functions, however, we may only use function pointers themselves, not function pointer pointers. So we cannot invoke function pointer pointer variable p2, but we can invoke the dereference of p2. Note that parenz around the dereference of p2 here are very necessary because without them the argument list parenz would have higher precedence and so this expression would be the dereference of the value returned by a call to p2 which is not only the wrong syntax but would be an invalid operation because we can't invoke p2 as a function. In a few contexts, we need to specify pointer types without having any name to modify. Here to cast the value of this variable foo into an int pointer pointer pointer there is no name for the asterisks to modify. In the next example, to cast a variable foo into a pointer to an array of 8chars we need to surround the asterisk in parentheses to subvert the precedence. Otherwise the cast type specified would be an array of 8chars pointers which is not only the wrong type but would make this cast totally invalid because you can't cast to arrays, arrays are not a kind of value. In this last example, rather than casting, we're declaring a function bar. This declaration states that bar takes as argument a pointer to a function which takes no arguments and returns int while bar itself returns float. Note that the parameter type declaration requires parentheses around the asterisk to subvert the higher precedence of the empty parameter list parens. In an earlier video, we discussed how natively compiled languages typically go through a two-step process. First, each source file is separately compiled into object code files and then these object code files get combined into a single executable by a program called a linker. Here's a simple example of how this works in C. Say we have two source files, one called main.c and another called foo.c. Both of these files are compiled separately and so when compiling main.c, the compiler has no knowledge about how the function foo is defined. However, main.c includes a declaration, a function foo with the same parameter types and return type and so the compiler can generate appropriate machine code for invoking foo. What's missing though is an actual address for execution to jump to when invoking foo. That gets filled in by the linker. The linker takes the two object files separately compiled from these two source files and from them produces a single executable. In the executable, there's an actual address for execution to jump to when invoking foo. By default, the executable produced by the linker will invoke the function called main to kick off execution of the program. So our compiled and linked program here will invoke main and end when main returns. Understand that C has no notion of namespacing. When the linker matches names from separate object files together, it does so in one global namespace. For example, the linker assumes that the function foo defined in one object file refers to the same function foo invoked in other object files because there is only one global namespace across all object files. This lack of namespaces is a holdover from an earlier era of programming but C programmers work around this deficiency with a simple convention. A library written in C by convention prefixes the names of everything it defines with an initialism or abbreviation of the library's name. The OpenGL library, for example, prefixes the names of what it defines with lowercasegl. While this prefixing convention adds clutter to C code, many C programmers insist they like it because it means that every name clearly states the library from which it comes. In the event of a name collision, such as when using two libraries that define something of the same name, you'll have to tell the linker how you wish to resolve the conflict.
