Today we're gonna be talking about the CPFM Flea One. Welcome back to the channel. If you guys didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is The DNA Show. On this channel, I love talking about sneakers giving you guys in-depth reviews and especially going over interesting ones like this. So if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. So with all that being said, in typical fashion, we're gonna talk about the history of this sneaker first and then we'll be taking some detailed looks at the sneaker so you guys can see what it looks like all around on both shoes and all the accessories and things that come along with it. After that, we'll cover my thoughts and opinions, resell prices and everything like that. And like always, shout out to UntiedLA for sending me these. I saw they posted them on their Instagram and I was like, bro, you guys gotta send me a pair so I can review these because I'm just so interested with all the details and materials. Now, I'm not sure if this is a sneaker for me but I do know a lot of y'all were interested in seeing this shoe. So now I'm bringing you guys the review. So with that being said, let's get into the history. Cynthia Lu is the original creator and designer of CPFM, also known as CactusPlantFleaMarket.com. She used to be an intern at Complex and then went to work for Pharrell Williams for Billionaire Girls Club. After that, January 1st, 2015, CactusPlantFleaMarket dropped and ever since then we have seen more and more collaborations over the years, especially with Nike. And a lot of people remember the Swarovski Nike Dunks right here. This right here is one of my Grail SBs. I love this shoe but we gotta talk about these ones because these are very interesting to say the least. So now that we know a little bit about the history, let's take you to the studio. All right, so starting with the box right here, you can see you got your all over brown coloring with the Nike on the top. You got the add sunshine right here on the lid.  On the back end, Nike with the swoosh. And then on the side, Nike with the swoosh. Now going to the size tag and then also on the top right here, you got the yin-yang on the front end. You're on the size tag, it reads Nike CPFM Flea One Barley Cell Desert Moss. And no, this is not a size 13. I was not requesting a pair for me. Now flipping open the lid of the box, first thing you got right here, this is something that we saw on the Swarovski pair. It was a green bag. This time it's kind of like a towel, kind of like chenille, whatever you want to call it. This is like a towel material. You have a dust bag. And this is all brown with the yin-yang patch right here. This is all embroidered patch. And then you got just do it right here and a little bit of a different stitch as well. And then you got the paper right here. So it's got the clouds with the Nike air all over it. And it's got the CPFM on there. And then you got the paper here with the white paper. And then you got the shoe. Oh, you got the shoe. Okay, so first impressions of this sneaker. I don't know if these are for me, but it is what it is. We're still gonna do the review. Starting with the bottom of the shoe, you have your classic Nike dunk outsole. This is like more of a green color or the desert moss, as we may assume. And then on the side ends, this is more of that moss, kind of like you stepped in dirt, mud, whatever you want to call it.  Other people say it's more of a mossy vibe. Like you got moss growing up on the side of like rocks or trees or something like that. At the end of the day, you can decide on what you want to call it. So being that the entire midsole of this shoe is covered in that moss material, 360 degrees around the foot, let's take it to the upper. Here you can see a mixture of a different color of materials and patterns. You got kind of like that Nike dunk vibe when it comes to it, but it also does remind me of that early 2000s ACG hiking boots type vibes with the different colors back in the days. And I'm sure they probably still make some to this day, but not as with that modern look to it. But I think the older school vibes, that kind of gives me that, giving me, I feel like I'm back in kind of 2002 or something like that. I don't know, maybe I'm tripping, but I feel like that's kind of what it looks like to me. Let me know what you think down below. Now, looking at the vamp in the men panels right here, you can see you have your triangular shaped pattern with their embroidered lines in between that. And this is a very puffy kind of material. And honestly, every area on this shoe is really puffy. Even on the area on the arm right here, you can see it's really puffy as well. Now, going to the back end around the heel counter, you have the yin-yang logo right here. And then on the right foot, this actually doesn't have a swoosh on the outside of the foot, just a smaller kind of bluish turquoise green color. I don't know, whatever color. I guess we'll call it green. Some people, I don't know, maybe I'm colorblind. But either way, it's kind of a green colored swoosh right here in the backward swoosh on this side. And then that also color and stitching matches the tongue where it says CPFM and it's got that same swoosh everything on the tongue of the right foot. Now, when you go to the left foot, it's gonna be a little bit different. On the inside of the foot, everything's the same. But on the outside of the foot right here, as you can see, you have a white swoosh. This is all in a suede material stitched on with a little bit of print on the midsole area. And then just above that, you have the green swoosh as well. And that's also on the inside of the foot on the left foot. Now, on the left foot right here, you can see you have an additional set of laces. So basically, the laces are a mismatch right here. So you got the brown rope laces with the little yellow hints on there. And then you got more of kind of that earth tone, kind of greenish grayish, kind of whatever color you wanna call it, tan. That's gonna be on the inside right here. So basically, the two laces that come equipped with the shoes are both already on the shoes. You could just decide to switch if you wanna put both on the same or whatever you decide to do on there. These also have a brown hang tag right here. It says Nike CPFM. And then on the backside, it says, be kind. I'm sensitive. Nike CPFM flee one. Will age with extended wear and then has a Nike logo on here. So I'm assuming these are supposed to age in some certain type of way. I'm not exactly sure. Now, when it comes to a couple of differences from the left foot and the right foot, essentially throughout the entire foot, besides the whole swoosh thing, you're gonna see the same things, but the sock liners and everything like that is gonna be what's different on the coloring. So on the left foot right here, you have a Nike branding. And it says Nike in this more of a black color stitch. And then around it, it's kind of got that brown vibe with the satin materials and the mesh on the inside. And this one's more of a green vibe on the right foot with the satin materials and the mesh on the inside. Another thing that I liked that they did on these that we saw previously on the Swarovski pair, which I still haven't reviewed for you guys. I need to make a review video for you guys. But on the Swarovski pair has the same thing on the insoles. It's got and caught that thermal footprint on the insole and it says right foot here. And then on the left foot has the same thing with the L on there. So I think that's a nice cool little touch. Now that's some more in-depth detailed looks at the sneaker.  Let's take it back to the office and finish up the video. So after seeing those detailed shots of the shoe, let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. Now one thing that I can say is they have done a really good job when it comes to materials, overall execution and bringing an idea to life because there is definitely a lot going on and it's hard to put something like this together. Now some people may say, well, it's easy to do right but actually it's not that easy to put something like this together, especially like with the material that we have on the midsole and everything like that. So on that end, when it comes to execution, quality of materials and overall design, I feel like they actually did a really good job. Now is this the cup of tea that I may want to drink? Maybe not, but I know for some people this might be something that they actually want in their collection and I'm not mad at them for that. One thing that I can say is Cynthia has definitely been very creative along her process and this is the idea that some people may not even be able to think outside the box enough to even create. Now when it comes to current resell on this shoe, I'm looking online right now and I'm seeing a lot of prices varying between 2000 to mid-2000 dollars and obviously you know if it's a size 13, it's gonna be worth even more because that's just typically how the game goes right now with any sneaker. So roughly on a size 13, I'm assuming somebody's gonna be asking around $3,000 for a pair of shoes like this. Now that brings the next question, would somebody be willing to pay that price? I think yes for a couple reasons. Some people are just gonna want something that's different, something that people just don't even have and something that can stand out.  Whether you may like it or not, they're gonna know that it's something different, something that stands out and it draws people to ask questions or start conversations and sometimes people purchase shoes for those different reasons and sometimes people purchase shoes simply because they like them, which kind of draws my next question for you guys. So as you know on my channel, I typically post a poll asking the people the question, is this shoe fire or is this shoe trash? So if you haven't already, follow me on IG so you can participate in those polls and see all the results here on the channel. This is what they say. 38% of the people chose fire and 62% of the people chose trash, which is very interesting, right? Because we have a sneaker that's worth thousands of dollars and to some other people, they don't even wanna pay retail for the shoe. Unless they knew they could resell it and sure, they probably would buy the shoe. But if the shoe didn't have a resell value to it, I can guarantee they just wouldn't wanna buy it. But we can definitely understand this is a very niche sneaker and I love talking about sneakers like this because again, not everybody likes every single shoe and that is completely fine. It's okay to have something that you like because in a situation like this, the majority says that everybody doesn't like this shoe. But there are people that do like it and I respect that simply because at the end of the day, we should always buy what we like. And prime example for me right here on the Swarovski CPFM, these right here, I love this shoe and I post fire or trash and not everybody likes this shoe and that's completely fine. Now I get majority do like the shoe but again, there's gonna be people that don't like it and that's completely fine.  So as of right now, Untied LA does have a couple extra pairs so if you do wanna pick up a pair from them, make sure you click on the link down below in the description and I got a discount code for you guys, DNAShow, that'll get you free shipping on anything on the website, not just these, but if you're ever purchasing anything from their website, always use the code DNAShow for a discount, that way you can at least get free shipping whenever you decide to purchase something. As of right now, there is no set release date on the sneaker and another thing that a lot of people have been talking about is the sizing of this shoe. Apparently these run about a whole size small. So if you're interested in purchasing this shoe, definitely consider going a full size up simply because I think it's just all the padding and everything that they've done constructing this shoe, kind of make the shoe run a little bit smaller because of it. So definitely consider that as well when you're in your purchasing process. Now this isn't a size 13 or 14 for me to test on and try, but I do know people that do have pairs and they have told me the same thing. So I'm making sure I relay that message to you guys, that way when you're in your purchasing process, you know what to do. So this is definitely a lot more laid back video. I just wanted to have a conversation with you guys and see how you felt about it. This is definitely a very interesting sneaker and I'm excited to see what you think down below in the comment section. If you want to see more chill, just sneaker talk videos like this.

Hey guys, what's up? My name is Sonali and today I'm going to be sharing some really exciting news So if you are a subscriber or watch my videos on the reg Then you would know that I just got back from studying abroad in Italy and while I was there I was insta thriving I was taking so many pictures and taking advantage of all the beautiful architecture It was so beautiful the pictures didn't even do it justice But when I was editing them I was actually using Lightroom and while I was posting all these Instagram pictures I kept getting DMs asking me what filter I use what app I use what preset I used And if I was going to sell my presets at first it was like no Like I don't think I'm gonna sell them like I feel like everyone does that But then I realized how much these presets that I made changed my insta game forever Honestly before my Italy trip I was in an Instagram rut and I feel like I was just never excited to post a picture and I was struggling to maintain an Instagram theme and the feed and it was just also overwhelming just planning everything out But now that I'm using these presets.  It's just an overall warm toned pack But the necessities is my new favorite because in that pack I have a cooler toned one which I am now using and it's called sapphire It has like a cool toned bronze look So it still kind of flows into my warm feed or the past pictures that I posted But it kind of gives that cool more contrasted look which I have always been obsessed with and I honestly wanted to try out The warm kind of theme just because it was like trendy, but I know I'll just always love my cool tones Especially for like filters and stuff So what's really cool is that you can go on my blog and see each preset before and after with this slider Widget that I put on my site and you can see exactly what it changes about the photo instead of seeing just like two Pictures side-by-side you can actually just like slide the widget and you can see so I actually had a lot of DMs when I first posted do you guys want me to sell my presets and Everyone was pretty much saying that yes But just keep them pretty affordable and I definitely felt that because I'm trying to save up while living my bougieous life Pretty much all the individual presets are $15 and then each preset pack is different Just because there is a different amount in the presets So definitely check my site out if you guys are interested So now I'm going to show you guys how you can download my mobile preset packs and start using them on the free lightroom app So first what you want to do is go ahead and go to my blog It is just so gnarlylife.com without the G and gnarly and then just go up to the shop tab And you will see all my presets here So I have the Italian mobile preset pack and The necessities mobile preset pack and I also have the ultimate mobile preset pack which has all of these in One I do have some individuals on my site as well Those are the ones with like the bars across that says the name of them I wanted to give you guys the option of just deciding which one you wanted because I know this is a cheaper alternative and not Many people do release individual presets. So when you click on any of the mobile preset packs You can scroll down and you can just see what it's all about what it includes And then you can read the installation and how to do that, but I'm going to show you in this video So no need to worry about that. So in the description, you can see these widgets and they're just flatter widgets So you can see what exactly? Makes the photo different with each preset which is so super cool so as you can see sapphire is definitely more cool toned than the ports and Then we have all of these down here. So you can just kind of play around with these and Yeah, definitely go and see these on the mobile preset pack And then if you decide you want just one individual then you can just go buy it on there But this is a really great way to see how each of them are different from each other So I'm going to download this preset pack and I'm going to show you guys how to install it So you can use it on the free light room app. All right guys So after you buy the presets it will take you to this page where you can download all of my presets bear with the site It is a little bit slow sometimes So definitely try to click one and let that one download fully and then do the next one. So I'm going to download ports downloaded and sapphire So just warning you you might get a little pop-up box that says it can't be opened on your laptop and Don't worry because it's not really supposed to be opened on your laptop So from here all you need to do is get these downloads to your phone So you can use email or you can use airdrop. I personally like airdrop the best So I'm just going to do that so a quick little tip for you guys If you do not have the option of airdropping on your favorites bar right here You'll just have to go in your upper left hand corner Press on go and then there will be a drop-down menu and then you can click on airdrop from there All right guys, so I just selected all of my downloads and then I'm going to pull it into my airdrop So now they're on my phone.

So just select all of them and upload them to the app Then just click on any of these pictures and then we're going to click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner Then you will see that there is an option for creating a preset So we are going to go ahead and name this one quartz like it says on the picture This might be a new update because I know some people just have an album of The preset pack and then they copy the settings and then paste it onto their photo But I definitely think that creating a preset is way more convenient Just so you won't have to go in between albums every time. So now you can create a more permanent album So I just called it pictures with presets you can really call it anything and then upload some pictures to this album and Go ahead and start using your presets to find your presets Just scroll all the way to the right on the adjustable bar and you will see presets your first time opening it It might be on the color presets So just press color and then you will see there's a user preset Option and then just click that and your presets will be under that It's really up to you how much you want to tweak the photo usually I mainly kind of adjust the exposure bar But sometimes I will play with the temperature or the colors just to make all my photos match a little bit more but if you are using these presets to maintain a feed then be careful with Messing around with all the colors in the temperature because they might all look different once you adjust those So I hope you guys are as excited as I am about these presets coming out Check out the description below for a link to the presets and a discount code If you guys do use my presets definitely hashtag it with Sonali presets So I wanted to throw in a little giveaway at the end of this video I'm picking two people to give away my ultimate preset pack for free So all you have to do is follow me on Instagram so underscore gnarly without the G Then I'll have an Instagram highlight that says presets and in that highlight I will have this picture right here so you can screenshot this on your phone And then put it on your story and tag me at so underscore gnarly without the G And that way you'll be entered to win my preset giveaway Check out the description box for the rules and when this giveaway is going to end Let me know if you guys want me to do a more in-depth video about how I'm edit my pictures and Just maintain my Instagram feed.

I was in a crib and two adults were yelling. But my mom came in the crib and was like, it's okay. And I can remember my mom crying. So my very earliest memory as a human is instability. My dad was like a big, he was a pro bodybuilder. He was a big, strong guy. And I would tell people about my dad like he was still in my life. I never told them, because they'd be like, well, where's your dad?  But the truth was he didn't care that much.  I remember it was my birthday. My dad, when he got out of prison, he just stayed in Long Beach. But for that birthday, my dad's like, I will drive down and take you out to dinner. And he said he'd be there at like 5 p.m. And she had to go to work. She had a night shift job.  So I'm gonna leave you at the house alone. So I sat there, I was kind of on the couch. And I remember waiting for my dad. And it was like 5.30 came, nothing. Six, nothing. We had a home landline, like waiting for the phone to ring, seven, eight.  So you're like, oh, I have hope. Like, he's still gonna come. He's just late. I don't remember how long it was, but my mom said she came home at midnight. I would just asleep, like literally like on the couch, just like looking out the window. And he never came. And so I remember that being like super painful and being just like, my dad doesn't care about me. Life will throw tremendous blows at you. You'll have the betrayal of a close friend or family member. You'll have sickness, death. Life is painful if I perceive it as what it was supposed to be. But the second I switch it and go, wait, no, life's like a puzzle that I was handed. Here's your puzzle light of life, Ty. We took a piece out. The dad was gone. And when I look at life like that, my life's like an adventure. And I'm thankful for it. Even the stuff that sucked in the most painful day and sometimes in the moment, I couldn't see it there. But in hindsight, I'm like, but I wouldn't have found that puzzle piece. Nobody in my family had ever really made money. And, you know, they say poverty is systemic and it's true. Like most people, you can't rise out of like your socioeconomic class. Like one of the biggest predictors of where you'll be in life is where you're born.  Breaking the cycle is something that has to start happening in the world. And what broke the cycle for me was like realizing that I was doing it wrong. I was in a mobile home in Clayton, North Carolina. And I did not have a job. I didn't have a resume. I didn't have anything to put on a resume. I didn't have a college degree, just laying there on the couch. And when I was laying there, the question that came in my head was, is this it? All my friends went to college. They had parents that had more money and they had this and like, I missed this. I remember just going to sleep. I was just depressed. And the next day, my mom was there and she said, you should read this book, Tony Robbins. And I remember being like, oh, I don't want some self-help book. But she's like, yeah, you should read this book. So I read it. And I don't remember that much of what I read, but I remember this one page and it said, all greatness starts with failure because when you succeed you party and when you fail you ponder and all greatness comes from pondering your situation. And I remember thinking, that's what I was doing last night on the couch. I was like pondering like, what did I do wrong? I made myself vulnerable to the fact that maybe I did make mistakes.  Maybe I had to listen to different people. Maybe I had to try a new path. Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. And I'm like, Ty, you're being stubborn. So after I read that book, I was like, I'm gonna try something new. So I went back in that mobile home. I found the yellow pages and I remember flipping through it, going to the financial section. And there was this full page ad by this guy, Mike Stainback. It said Stainback Financial Services. And I kind of pretended, I didn't lie, but I kind of pretended I was coming there to be a customer. And I get to a place and I'm like, I'm Ty, can I speak to your boss?  He looked like Tom Selleck. I wanted to be super honest with him. I said, listen Mike, you don't know who I am but I know you must be successful because you've got a full page ad in the yellow pages. That's all I know about you. But I know that costs a lot of money. If you teach me what you know about making money, I'll work for you for free. And he was sitting like in this chair and I was talking to him this way and he was sideways. And he just slowly pivoted his chair. You know, I've been looking for someone like you for 20 years.  And I promise you, if you listen to what I'm gonna say, one day you'll hug my neck. And he did have an office but what he had done was he cleaned out a closet with no windows and he had put a desk that's where all the filing cameras was. I sat down on the chair and he plopped down pieces of paper and said, cold call these people. I'll give you a percentage of the money you make from them, no guarantees working for me. So I just started calling and I sucked at it. I would call if he bought six at night. People were like, who are you? They were hanging up on me. I remember being like, oh no. I think I've gone from nightmare to another nightmare but I started to get curious and creative.  And I remember in that first month I started opening up deals for this Mike Stainbacker and I opened a deal that was $150,000 in commissions if the deal went through. And I remember going, wow, life can change like fast. And within nine months I went from $0 to making 100 grand. I remember being like, this is the pinnacle of my life. And I went out from then like a madman. I became a CFP, a certified financial planner. I got into finance. I learned, I read every book. You can either be paralyzed by what life gave you and let the pain, cause there will be pain there will be trauma. You can either let it build up and like build scar tissue that just paralyzes you or at some point you go, the cars didn't, weren't dealt for me like I wanted. And so I'm gonna go recreate those cars. And that's what mentors were for me. And I think for every person, you got a different path that you have to do. I just spoke on this subject that I think is like the ultimate puzzle piece.  I call it the law of 33%.  You can help them, like you mentor them. And there's always those people and you need to spend time around people that you can help. And then you spend 33% of your time around people who are on your level. Like you're about at the same level of what you're trying to do. Those are your become your close friends. Those are the people you hang out with on the weekends. But the last 33% is the magical one that doesn't happen in our school system and almost no one even tries to find these people. Unfortunately, you spend 33% of your time around people who are five, 10, 20, 30 years ahead where you wanna be. And if you do the math, you know, that's like a couple hours a day. And now you can do it with YouTube videos. You can do it with a book. You can do it with an audio book. You can do it with Facebook videos. If you can start absorbing from the world's greatest mind downloading their advice into your brain, they're 40 years of experience in pain and reward and making mistakes in accomplishing great things.  And if you can absorb that, and this is what I tell myself every day I wake up, it's like tie law 33% who you spend in time with. I think the most pain that we get in life is when we think life is like a straight line to start, finish, and here's what's supposed to happen. Nothing's supposed to happen. There's, it doesn't work that way.   You put the piece back in. You have to take your destiny in your own hands and try to recreate what you missed out on. For good or bad, today I control my own destiny.


And we are live. What's up guys? All right guys, another Ask Me Anything random episode. I'll be looking forward to your questions. Let me make sure everything's set up. Okay, audio's good. If you guys can hear me, just type in yes in the chat box. Just wanna make sure the audio's correct. All right, I think the audio's working. Sweet, awesome. Audio's good, good, good, good. All right, question time. Hello from Australia. This is an interesting question. From Hatam, what's your thoughts on avoiding depression? I went through this for many years. I still fight depression. It's a multifaceted approach when it comes to finding depression and each person is, I would say, individual in their own situation. For me, what has helped me the most is a fixing my nutrition. And so basically cutting out old refined sugars, going on a low carb diet, getting proper sleep, proper hydration, proper exercise, and then surrounding yourself with really positive people. Those are kind of like the major five things that I did in my life. Predictions for Bitcoin and altcoins in 2018. More people will be interested in them. More money's flowing in. Unfortunately, with more money, I always, I think less innovation comes into play because people are greedy, all they care about is profits. So I think we'll have a lot of upsets in 2018, a lot of projects that promised to deliver on X product won't deliver on because the reality is they can't deliver. But I think more or less the industry is growing and more and more people getting involved. Is Bitcoin used for money laundering? Actually, that's a good question. So chain link analysis, consulting company, looks for habits within the crypto space on how people use crypto. They just came out with a report saying only 1% of the total Bitcoin liquidity pool is actually used for illicit activities. Compare that to the greenback. The greenback, which is the USD currency, right? The United States currency is the number one vehicle when it comes to laundering money and for illicit activities. And that's the fact. What is my opinion on the changing ICO landscape from Alberto? I've mentioned this a bunch of times. I think ICOs are a very innovative solution for raising capital. However, there are issues with ICOs. First of all, you don't own equity, you don't have voting rights. For the most part, 99.99% of ICOs don't have a sustainable business model that makes sense. And not to mention where we are currently in the ecosystem of technology, whether we're talking about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo, Quantum, EOS, whatever platform you're talking about, we're in the first inning. And it's really difficult to scale millions and millions of users on your platform when the technology is not mature enough yet. So I think we're gonna have an evolution of ICOs in the future, different variations of them. And I think they're a very interesting model for raising capital. But how I think they're done right now and majority of ICOs in my humble opinion, I don't support whatsoever. Hashgraph, well, Hashgraph is a private company that has a patent on a technology for a private chain and they can do whatever with a private chain. You and I can create a private chain of Ethereum right now and scale it to thousands of transactions a second because it's private. But I think the private blockchains, whether that is Ethereum, private blockchain or Hashgraph is definitely of use when it comes to enterprise clients. Especially when it comes to supply chains and tracking of certain data or I would say, reducing overhead costs of a supply chain. From where do proof of work, hard forks get their miners from? What do you mean the actual ASICs? They get them from Jihan Moon. You've got Befury, you have Jihan Moon's group over there in China. But actually now, what was the Samsung? I think Samsung just came out and made a statement. They're gonna start producing ASICs as well. Thoughts on Richard Hart. I don't know who he is. So yeah. What do I think about the Venezuelan Petrocoin? Oh my God. What did they say? They didn't even know what to do. And they said they're gonna build it on Ethereum. Then in the same paper, they said they're writing and they're gonna do something on Stellar or something like that. I don't know. I don't have faith in it. Let me put it that way. From Pango, what is the thoughts on shift? I don't even know what shift is. Will there be another bull run in 2017? Or as 2017? Could be. If you look historically, majority of the bull runs have been going around, usually around the summertime. So it could be. I would predict so. I would say, I would bet on it that this year we have a bull run. Should supply chains really be on a blockchain? It depends. It really does depend. Depends on human capital cost of how many humans are involved in the supply chain. It depends on what type of product or service you're dealing with in the supply chain. It depends on legalities. It depends on if you are a private company or a publicly traded company. So there's many different variables. There are a lot of use cases where a private blockchain to track items and track data stamping for a publicly traded company does make sense. Amir, is Bitcoin going to 7,500 or less? I don't know. I don't make price predictions. I'm not a trader. I'm not a TA. I really, personally, I don't care about prices to tell the truth. I'm in this for the long haul and I'm in this for the technology and building a better future. There's many other people that can comment on what the price of crypto will be. From Retro House Invade, Retro House. Super thanks. What are your thoughts on EOS?  I come from the startup scene. I never heard of other startups coming or this killer or that killer. To me, crypto space seems very religious, right? Everyone has it because it's money involved, right? Everybody has their own bias incentives because they want to profit. That's the truth.  I think competition is great. Competition pushes both teams and technology to innovate and evolve. And remember, the market's always right.  I have no idea. You know, you have EOS, you have Neo, you have Ethereum. But if we're looking at statistics currently, we're looking at first mover advantage. We're looking at developers in space. We're looking at companies using platforms. Ethereum's number one currently. Can EOS overtake that? Possibly. I can't predict. All I can say is I wish them all the best of luck and the more, like I said, the more competition that we have, the better. What is, from tasks, what is a major change slash benefit that decentralized exchanges will provide if they become mainstream and easy to use? Well, number one, they can definitely help reduce front running where exchanges can manipulate and control prices. Number two, they help with security models. With centralized exchanges, you don't own your private keys with decentralized exchanges. You own the private keys. Number three, it actually increases liquidity pools. So it's a benefit for everybody. Number four, the issue duo with at least with some, well, I would say majority of decentralized exchanges at the moment, they don't provide Fiat gateways. So you can't onboard Fiat towards them. But that might change in the future. What is proof of stake? Well, that's a good question. There's different variations of proof of stake. You have delegated proof of stake that EOS is using that has masternodes, I believe 21 voted masternodes. Then you have a proof of stake mechanism, such as sharding within Ethereum. Basically, the two commonalities of both platforms is they're not using miners anymore or say physical miners per se. Because again, proof of stake is staking. So you have virtual mining per se. So that's a big difference with proof of stake with proof of work is like you're removing the ASIC miners or removing the financial costs when it comes into buying these big rigs paying for electricity, paying for overhead. But still, when it comes to proof of stake, you still gotta pay for the token and stake that token. What the minimal threshold to enter in as a staker is, I don't know yet. Who am I supporting between Tony Ferguson and Khabib? I don't know. Khabib, he has his diet down. That's good. Like his diet is really good right now. His last performance was impeccable. But Tony's Ferguson's performance was really good too. It's a tough one, man. It's a tough one. If Ferguson can keep Khabib from taking him down and just doing stand-up, then I'll give it to Ferguson. But if Khabib keeps on taking Ferguson down and grinding him out, it's Khabib's game. But it also depends physically where it's gonna be. So I don't know where the actual venue will be held. Have I invested in any ICOs recently? No. BitConnect is BitConnect coming back? God, no.  It's a pyramid scam. Come on, guys. You can see that a mile away. From Timothy, what's my thoughts on Cardano? Actually, BlockGeeks just released a big guide on that. So check that out. If you go to blockgeeks.com slash guides, we just released a 3,000 word synopsis of Cardano. So from Ziffvet, sorry if I butchered your name. Watch your video about time management so you don't own a car. No, I don't since you take Uber everywhere. Yes, I take Uber everywhere as much as I can. It saves me time, headache, money. It's a million times better than me owning a car. And if I need to drive somewhere far away, whether that is like my cottage or somewhere outside the city, I'll rent a car. My thoughts on Amici Go. All the power to them. I think what they're doing is great. They're gonna be the first DAP or say infrastructure play to work on Plasma. They have a great team. I just want to see them execute. Wheel off chain and decentralized exchanges help all coins remain stable in Bitcoin. My predictions for majority of tokens that they're useless, token velocity is high. There's no need for them whatsoever. Like literally there's no need for 99% of the tokens. I can literally remove that token from that network and the networking still run or I can substitute it with Ether or Bitcoin. So you'll see once we have more atomic swaps, more liquidity and once the space matures, 99% of these DAPs or these new platforms don't have business models, so it's not sustainable. The only way they have a business model speculation so the next schmuck has to come in so the token value goes up. And then once you have more liquidity such as atomic swaps and decentralized exchanges and real businesses emerges that do have a sustainable model, you'll see literally 99% of these tokens go to nothing. What's my take on DAICO? It's interesting. It really does depend though on, so DAICO people that don't know it's Vitalik's proposal, kind of similar, kind of like a DAO but a little bit different. What I like to see though in the future truthfully guys is if you are raising visa via token and it's not gonna be utilities, really rare use cases that's a utility that you really actually have to have a token as opposed to just using Ether or Bitcoin or some of these other decentralized currencies. So that being said, majority of the tokens don't really have a use case. They're just people don't wanna give up equity in their company and the so-called entrepreneurs cannot raise regular pre-seed money which is a couple hundred thousand dollars because it's no business model there. It's non-existent. But that being said, I think in the future we will have variations of token equity. We'll have variations of token dividends. We'll have variations of token voting rights. And like any startup, if you look at successful startup it's doing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. They've gone through the process of a pre-seed which is probably around half a million dollars. They have to prove their product market fit. They have to prove some revenue. Once they prove that, then they go to series A which is roughly three to five. And once they prove at the series A that their revenue is growing, profits are growing, then they might do a series B. So if you have an ICO model where A, both the investors and the entrepreneurs both have a proper incentive and they're proving that they're actually building the business is sustainable and more money is actually raised. Is the most sustainable coin model, security model such as Polymath? Polymath is not a securities token. They claim to be a platform where you must figure out the legalities and build your own token on top of it. In the future, I don't think so you'll be, like first of all, I'm not a big fan of tokenized securities at the moment because it doesn't increase or doesn't exponentially differentiate or make raising money better. Like right now, if I want to raise money I go to angel investors. I can raise half a million dollars. I can get a term sheet from lawyers almost for free.  So my question is why do I really need a securitized token currently? You know, we may see in the future two, three years maybe four years, different exchanges, loss change that it makes the process better to have a tokenized security.  Do I use any new tropics? Used to, fan of Parasitams and Arasitams, new pep, played around a little bit with Modafinil or Provigil here in Canada. Don't really touch those stuff anymore. I actually use a lot of light therapy as a new tropics or red light therapy at nighttime, blue light therapy during the day as I'm inside. So light box and sometimes there's a funky device is infrared nasal device that you put in your nose. Do I deadlift? Yes, I do. Deadlift, squat, but my old-time favorite is body weight training with Kettables. Huh, sorry, questions are coming in really fast. Can I give example of a token that cannot be removed from the model? Yeah, if I remove Ether from Ethereum it falls apart. If I remove Bitcoin from Bitcoin, it falls apart. Like tokens, like a token like Ethereum, whatever I say, call it a crypto, it's necessary for the computational cost. It's necessary for security and it's necessary for gas. These ICOs, they're building ERC20s. They're not protocol-layered plays and they're just raising money. There's no gas with them. There's no security models with them. They're literally just raising money, cashing out to feed it. That's it, period. Like, look at these ICOs and be honest with yourself. 99% of them you can remove your token and the business still, the business or lack of business, it's still there. Like tell me one ICO that doesn't force me to use your token that has a predictable revenue model that as an investor and as a user you can have trust and faith in it. That I know for a fact mathematically two, three years from now based on their sustainable business model they'll still exist as opposed to their business model being hey, more people need to buy our token. Thoughts on the RAIDN network, side-chain scaling solution for Ethereum. Let's see what happens. They have a token though, so that slows the whole process down. Like Lightning Network doesn't have a token. Like I don't know what RAIDN needed a token, but probably just needed for capital. I don't know, we'll see. Only time can tell. Are cryptocurrencies in a bear market? No, I don't think so. We're in a bear market right now. If we're looking at bear markets like 2013 and 14, that's yearly bear market. I don't think so. We're gonna be going through a year bear market whatsoever. I think we might have a predictive behavior pattern same thing like last year where you see January, February, March, a little bit April as like a slow market and then coming up to the summertime just a crazy run. And then it's different every year, right? More players in the space, we have ETFs, we have futures, we have all these crazy funds going on. So a lot of money wants to enter the space. Does NEO require its token? It's a platform play like at Ethereum. It has security models. It has gas, so yes, it does. But remember, these are platforms, right? People building on top of platforms for the most part don't need a token, like an ERC-20 for the most part. What's my views on hedge funds in the space? Hedge funds are liquid funds, usually about 90 to 95% in liquid. They have a pyramid strategy of their liquid fund where they would have long-term holds on the space long-terms for like a year or two. The median term holds might be like six months to a year then super high-risk short-term holds or like six months up to a year. And so they're basically, they're not, hedge funds don't really keep, well, at least in the space they're not really for the innovation. They're not here for incubating companies. They're here for returns. Like most hedge funds is probably 220 model in the space, right? 2% management fee, 20% profit share. And basically in and out for arbitrage. Okay. You said, well, these questions are coming crazy. I need to slow this down. You said that you will meet up with the CEO from Chainlink. Did you get some info on that? No, not yet. Our timing hasn't been proper. So hopefully I'm working on that. Crazy busy right now. We are just scaling block geeks. So hiring more people, publishing more courses. We just released a brand new feature on block geeks where you can actually earn ether to answer dev questions.  So you can, if you're a smart dev and wanna earn some ether for answering developer questions, we have that feature and just we're really focusing on creating value in the space and building a real business and helping people in the blockchain space. But Mr. Anderson, the person that asked the question, as soon as I do have the confirmation and I've spoken to the CEO, I will let you know. What have I been reading? Actually, let's see. I haven't been reading anything new. I've been rereading letters from Astoic and some Joseph Campbell. This year, I haven't really bought anything new. I'm just rereading old books. Is Bitcoin too volatile to be used as an everyday currency? My answer is yes. That's why Lightning Network is very interesting. You can have instant payments without the volatility. I mean, like literally instant payments and then micropayments is feasible automatically, which is amazing. Mr. Anderson, thanks man, I appreciate it. Am I a millionaire from Bitcoin? No, I'm not. Amir, do I know Quantstamp? No, I don't know Quantstamp. This is from K1. What is the most expensive item you have bought with your crypto and which crypto did you use? Interesting question. I haven't bought anything well. I use crypto in my business to pay freelancers. And Blockheeks will be accepting crypto as payment for becoming a developer soon, hopefully in April. So this is from Raphael. How did I know what to do in life? I didn't. I took to high school in grade nine. So I never finished high school or college and I just try things, I experiment. I would say if you're young, experiment as much as you can. Try things, don't let time pass you by because when you're young, you can fail a million times and get back up and really surround yourself with people who are decade ahead of you. That's one mistake I should have done when I was earlier, I surrounded myself with people who are literally a million times better than myself. What do I think about Hashgraph? I answered that question already. Retrohouse, what's my thoughts on an electronium and icon? I don't even know what electronium is an icon. What is icon? I'll be honest with you guys, keeping up with what's happening in this space, it's difficult. It's really, really difficult. So I try to keep minimum time off of social media. I think social media, it's a tool, there's pros and cons to it and I think more or less it's a con, it sucks you up and you really don't get any value from it. I'm Razvan, thank you for all your videos. Thanks for watching and I appreciate it man, like I really do, thank you so much. Am I still following Matesafe? I'm not following them closely. They've been at this game for a long time. It's a big project. I want them to ship the product. How many projects do I see succeeding in the crypto space? Well, we can do a basic comparison. Startup world about 80% or so startups fail. This industry is super young. There's no real business models yet. Well, except exchanges and something. The technology, it's still very early, like first inning. I would put it very high. I would put it at like 95% or even like 96% will fail until the industry matures and organically figures out what it's used for as a technology. New business models are created or old business models are improved. So we have a while away to go before we see that happen but failure rate is high. From Patrick, what would I recommend to a developer trying to enter the blockchain space, learn everything? If you have good background in JavaScript, Python and C++, you can pretty much learn how to code on Bitcoin and Ethereum and just learn these languages and practice. Same thing like you do as a developer currently. Have I shared my crypto portfolio before or now? Is Cliff High a lunatic or a genius? I don't follow Cliff High, so I can't really comment on that. What's my top 10 books? Oh man, it's hard because which category talking about? I think it's really important for people to understand history. So anything by Will Durant, it's really important. I think people need to understand Jungian psychology and archetypical masks that people wear. So anything by Joseph Campbell and Jung and Arthur Schopenhauer. Business wise, favorite business books would be Charlie Munger seeking wisdom, J. Abraham and Felix Dennis, how to get rich or how to be rich. Then for health wise, health books, good health books. Good calories, bad calories, by Gary Tobs is really good. Rob Wolf's book is pretty good. And that's for the health space. Spirituality space, let's see. I like poems, anything by Rumi is really good. Or the other Persian poet, Abdul Qadir Jalani, I believe his name was. But those are just some on top of my mind. Oh, and also Jordan Peterson's new book is pretty good. Thoughts on Bitcoin price by the end of 2018. I'm not giving you the number. I think it'll be higher than what it is right now. What do I think about EOS? I've mentioned this a million times. I think it's an interesting platform. They have delegated proof of stake. They have a lot of support. And so I just want them to ship the code and I want people to build on it. And I want more competition in the space and I want people to think long term. So all the power to them. Tether to me is very dangerous. More and more it looks like fractional reserve, where they have probably like 5% actually in the bank and everything else is printed. Did I get married yet? No, I'm getting married this August in Croatia, third week of August in Croatia. How to motivate yourself for a high monetary and if so, freedom life goal when you already have quite a lot of money? If money, okay, so guys, if money is your motivation, you will always be chasing the dragon.  Money does not buy happiness. In fact, Harvard did a study that 80K, if your salary is 80K or over, it doesn't matter if you have 80K, 300K, 400K, your level of happiness is the same. This is a fact, a scientific fact. So yes, it's true that underneath 80K, financial stress is there, whether that is medical stress, household stress, et cetera. But when you pass the 80K salary threshold, there's no difference going up. That being said, you have to figure out what makes you happy, right? What do you enjoy that even if there was no money in the world, you'd continue doing free of charge? And you have to find this thing that brings you as Joseph Campbell talks about bliss, following your bliss.  And you'll be surprised that in a lot of times, people will pay you to do these things that you love. Do I think things.inuni are outdated? Yeah, I think it's slow to update curriculum. The whole idea for years to get a job when the marketplace is moving so fast, I think the whole educational model, it is completely flawed and broken, extremely flawed and broken. Am I freaked out about socialist system taking over Canada? Yeah, I'm not a fan of socialism. My parents come from Yugoslavia, former communist country.   So yeah, I don't like any of those systems. All right guys, I'm gonna wrap it up. Just wanna appreciate you guys being on here and talking with me. I will try to do more of these, at least once or twice a week. And so if you guys have any questions for me, leave a comment after this video goes live. All right guys, talk to you soon. Peace.

Welcome back it is Thursday and that means acting analysis final meters and today I'm going to take a look at actually a music video by the black keys called go That's right. It's not a TV show. It's not a movie. It's just one small moment It's just one shot It's one gesture and I had on my list for I don't know how long and I thought I was kind of too short Why should I talk about this ball? Why not? Let's make this very short So let's show you the moment and they'll talk about why I liked it So at the beginning of the music video you have this kind of a therapy session with this guy Talking to the group how they are not talking and it's this moment here when he says all you have to do is talk and Then he does this It's so good and then he coughs and then he says oh, well, that's a start and the music video starts But I absolutely love this moment just that whole beginning and just the whole thing of him going Just that look the little ticks in the head That's all you have to do is Talk and I like how it's he wants to say but he waits He goes down eyebrows go up a tiny bit as the heck goes down and forward then he just goes Talk and it's that little tiny nod of yeah that little thing of little shake With a tiny bit of a smile just a little bit a moment of yet the guys That's all you have to do and then I love this the main thing is this moment through here So as he says talk he waits and then he goes Just a simple thing of Doing this with his hand and I love that I love that It's just the moment where if you have your lip sync and it's just the word a sentence I'm sure and it's about what you do afterwards or before or the whole thing as you say the line of preparation But also the thing of but usually it's kind of on the nose to act out the words I always go back to monster sink when he goes you go to sleep and it's cute because it's in that scene It's a monster talking to a kid But with kids you can kind of do some things that are exaggerated and that makes it funny and they laugh and it's cute But you can't really do a movie where you constantly act out the words You want to be less on the nose a bit more subtle, but every now and then it's appropriate It's funny and it's an interesting take on it and I love the delay. It's not like he says, okay Talk or talk or talk and which would also work But I love that that drawn out moment of talk Like go come on. It's not hard. Just say something love that so for you If you have a scene like this where you have an audio piece But you don't cut it off right after the audio piece is done or the lip sync and you have the ambient sound whatever There's just silence somewhat with the room tone think about well What if I keep going what could my character do could it be a look could it be a gesture? Could it be a turn on walk away or bring something into the scene or whatever it is But think about that where even if it's something short and you think well, I can't do a lip sync That's just you know a sentence or a word even but you could you could you think about what's the setup? How do you deliver it and it's just something at the end that you could do that makes it even funnier or something Goes from funny to serious or whatever flips it around But that's completely up to you as always if you watch my channel in my clips You know I'm a big fan of taking an audio piece and making it your own Where it's your own creativity and your own sense of timing and humor and drama whatever it is And I thought this was a really cool example of just letting it breathe and then taking its time and just doing that that gesture That's kind of again acting out words But just to me I thought this was very interesting and very short It's a kind of unusual shorter clip that I'm doing today tapping said if you think that this is interesting And you want to incorporate that into your shots as always I do have workshops more information in the description So you want to sign up and work with me and I can work with you and help you out with your shots You can sign up at any time and speak of time if you watch this whole thing which is very short But still till the very end I appreciate it that you took time And if you don't want to miss anything that I upload you can subscribe and hit the above and do not miss Anything was solely up to you, but it helps me in growing my channel other than that. That is it I will see you in my next upload

Hello and welcome to another spirit animal video. My name is Ona Christi and today we're going to be looking at the spiritual meaning of sloth. So if you're one of those people that keeps seeing sloth everywhere or if you're just really, really connected with this animal or maybe you dreamed about it, just stay tuned because we're going to be covering a lot of things about sloth, including some of the characteristics of a sloth person, sloths your totem, the shadow side of sloth, things to look for, as well as some healing practices for people with sloth medicine. Before we get started, just a few pieces of housekeeping. One is that I just want to let you know that sloth is one of the cards in my spirit animal awareness deck and leave the link to this below if you wanted to check it out. Also, I do have a playlist of spirit animal videos, so check that out as well. And as you're watching this video, if you find yourself going, wow, I really resonate with this, you know, that's really me. Hit that like button and subscribe. People can work with more than one spirit animal, so that way when I do more videos, you'll be the first to know. And one more thing, stay tuned at the end because I'm going to share my personal sloth story with you at the end of this video. All right, so let's get started. So let's start by taking a look at this fascinating animal. The sloths come from a class of animals that's found exclusively in the new world. And there are a lot of extinct species of sloth, but there's really only two anymore that are living sloths. And these are the two-toed and the three-toed sloth. And if you're thinking numerology here, absolutely. I'd say if you are working with a particular sloth, if one of them comes, find out if it's a two-toed or three-toed because those have different numerological meanings. And I'll let you look those up yourself. So one of the first things that people think about when they think a sloth is slow. And so let's take a look at this slowness of sloth and what it means spiritually, really to fully understand the spiritual symbolism of sloth's slow habits. It's going to be a good idea to explore some of the physical characteristics that contribute to its slow mode of being. Both two-toed and three-toed sloths belong to the order full of vara. That means leaf eater. And they spend nearly all their lives in the treetops of Central and or South America. And these are rainforests, okay? Because leaves are really plentiful in the rainforest canopy. They're available year-round. Sloth really doesn't need to run or jump or go very far to get in order to get enough to eat. But have you ever tried getting all the calories you need just from leaves? They have this diet that's like super nutritious, but it doesn't supply a lot of calories, not a lot of energy. So the sloth has developed a super low metabolism and it's learned to be very, very efficient, okay? And so it moves really slowly so it doesn't burn extra energy. It sleeps up to 18 hours a day and it has a super low body temperature. It can lower its body temperature to about 68 degrees Fahrenheit. That's 20 degrees Celsius, which is super low for a mammal. But that's not the only thing. Sloths are like the only animal that I'm aware of, the only mammal I'm aware of that can do like the reptiles. It can actually switch from a self-regulating temperature like what we do is we generate heat to a more reptilian way of being, which is to let the environment influence your temperature, okay? A sloth can go back and forth between these and they'll also sun themselves like reptiles. So you can think of it as as though the sloth, like if the sloth were a house, it would be putting in like some of these passive heating and cooling techniques in there. Okay, so some of the spiritual meetings of sloth, the slowness of sloth, okay? One, of course, is efficiency or conserving resources and only expending energy when you have to. So this might be a really good time to look at your resources and see how can you become more efficient?  You know, this sloth may be kind of showing up to say, hey, you know, take a look at this or look where you're spending your energy. So everything is energy. So sometimes even your possessions or maybe the relationships that people at your round might be just demanding too much of your energy. So where can you pair down? Another possibility is that maybe the sloth is just showing up to ask you to slow down. We live in this culture that's so fast paced, we're constantly go, go, go, go, go. Sometimes when sloth shows up, it just like a slowdown and smell the roses kind of message. And because this is like a super, super important aspect of sloth, we'll cover, we'll touch on this later as well. So returning to stillness can happen physically, mentally, spiritually or all three. And if you're feeling that this is the message for you, don't stop here because there's more later. And another spiritual message of sloth could be to be deliberate, right?  So these are some of the positive meanings of sloth, slowness. But it's got a shadow side to it too. So let's take a look at that. The word sloth literally means laziness and it was considered one of the seven deadly sins. So it could just be that this animal's showing up just to tell you to get off your butt, right? If you've become really stagnant in life or life seems stagnant to you and sloth shows up, it just could be showing you where this might be going, right? Keep in mind that sloth actually grows algae and it can harbor things like cockroaches and stuff in it because it's so slow. But there's more to it than that. If you're dealing with a shadow element of sloth, keep in mind that the word sloth itself, that root word means without care. And that doesn't mean carefree. What it means is it's a loss of passion, right? It's like indifference. It can lead to depression and that can cause indifference about one's work. So this was a meaning of the word that was applied to monks and nuns when they were neglecting their spiritual duties. So sloth is coming up for you and if this meaning of it resonates with you, it might be a sign to get back on track with your spirituality, whether it's your spiritual practice or actually bringing your spiritual beliefs into your everyday life. Finally, some will translate that root word as self-pity, okay? So really watch for victim consciousness here. And sometimes when we get slide into that victim mentality, it can lead to depression or procrastination that doesn't serve our best interests or anybody's. Moving on a little bit more back to the overview, a sloth belong to the same class of animals as anteaters and armadillos. One characteristic they share with these cousins is color blindness, all right? So we're going to be looking at the vision of sloth. Not only does it see without color, but it also has really, really poor focus and it doesn't deal with bright light at all. Okay, so really poor vision. And scientists think that's because it was once an underground animal and then kind of during that period of its evolution, it lost the ability to see color because it went to rods instead of cones so it could see the more in the dark, right? But then it came up out of the ground up into the sky. So we can look at kind of ascension as actually being one of the characteristics of sloth or evolution, right? But then sometimes there's a one step, you know, two steps forward, one step back aspect of ascension. So that might point to something there, right? Or something it's like what did you miss a step or something? Maybe it's time to slow down and maybe assimilate just a little bit before moving forward again. Aside from having poor vision, we also have poor hearing.  And I suspect that they're also probably really sensitive energetically or magnetically as well. I'm not aware of any research around this, but it'd be really interesting to find out. If you know of anything like that, type in the comments below. I'd love to hear, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're super sensitive in this way. And so that's kind of what I'm speaking of picking up around sloth people as well. If sloth is your primary totem, you are likely to be pretty sensitive to energies, right? But you're less likely to be clairvoyant or clairaudient, more likely to be clear sentient, have that sense of feeling energy, or you might even have the clear smelling, right? The clear alienates, their sense of smell. So another huge meaning of sloth is interconnection, right? As it lives in the trees, it lives in the rainforest and its metabolism is so slow, it's really closer to the wavelength of a tree than most of us mammals, right? And so think of like the ants from the Lord of the Rings, right? How they're really so connected with the forest. Sloth spirit animal has a connection with the forest too in a very similar way. And if sloth is your totem animal, you may really, really connect with the forest, the rainforest, the trees, okay? But that also is going to give you this sense of interconnectedness with all of nature or with like universal energies. So you also, with sloth, we have something called symbiosis. And that is when two or more living beings kind of are interdependent with each other, they're mutually benefiting each other, okay? So interdependence, sloth is a total master at this, okay? We already mentioned that sloth will grow algae in its fur. And what that does for the sloth is that it helps to camouflage it because if you see a sloth in the wild, it's going to have a green tinted fur if it's a little bit older sloth. And that really helps it looks like just this clump of vegetation up on the tree's tops. So it helps to protect it from predators who are looking for it with their eyesight.  It's got moths and insects and all sorts of things living in the fur. Doesn't seem to bother the sloth. But it just becomes a host for all these things. And so it's sort of like very similar to a beaver. When a beaver does its thing, it just creates habitat for all sorts of other things. Sloth is very similar to. There are actually moths that are called sloth moths that are only found with sloth. And so the sloth is sort of like the spiritual principle as above so below, right? So that we have within ourselves ecosystems, or you can say we have universes within ourselves, but we're part of a greater universe. Sloth embodies that. So we're looking at multi-dimensionality, interconnectedness, interdependence of each individual person and of the universe itself. So it's pretty deep stuff for such a quiet, slow, gentle, non-aggressive animal, right? Okay, so let's look at some of the elements that are connected with sloth. And so one of them is earth, but with a caveat, right? Because remember that it's ancestors with ground dwellers. There are actually some ancient prehistoric extinct now sloths that were ground sloths. So it sort of got a little bit of that earthy vibe. However, it's just completely abandoned earth and gone to live in the treetops, okay? Which couple of things. One, it gives sloth a really special connection with the element of air. But it's a different way than you find with like winged animals, like birds. Because with the birds and anything with wings, we're looking at like the currents and the motion and the flakiness of air. Sloth gives us this different quality of air. It gives us this quality of the still space that everything exists in, right? And the breath of life that connects all of us. So sloth reminds us that even when we're interacting with air, we can still ground ourselves in stillness, right? Or even if we're on the very spiritual point, we can still ground ourselves in stillness. And it also reminds us that we're always being provided with what we need, even if it's not visible or top of mind. Super important. Okay, so sloth has these very strong claws adapted for gripping tree limbs, even when the animal is relaxed. So you've probably seen sloth memes that say, hang in there, that's definitely one of the spiritual meanings of sloth, hang in there, you know, you're going to get through this. And this is especially relevant at times like now when the winds of change are blowing and we're talking about the air element and just kind of being grounded, even when things are all up in the air. Okay, so on the other hand, sloth people can sometimes have a difficulty grounding, right? Sloths can actually swim, they do have an affinity for water, but they are really slow and awkward on the ground, okay?  And so if they're, to get along on the ground, they have to literally crawl and drag themselves by their arms across the ground, it's really, really slow and it leaves them super vulnerable to predators when they're on the ground, okay? So this is when, this is where sloth people can sometimes have this thing from, you know, whatever their, their cautious holding and they may have residual fears, right, that they have to, you know, that will hold them back or make them feel very vulnerable in everyday life, right? When it comes to coming out of the spiritual realms and down to being practical, sometimes that can be a challenge, okay? And another thing about sloth that pertains to that is that they are prone to being electrocuted by electric wires, right? So they account for about half of the accidental wildlife electrocution in Costa Rica. This can symbolize like too much energy, too big of an influx of energy. So if you find yourself in some of these like Lionsgate energies or eclipse energies, if you're feeling like super wiped, you know, you may be just super sensitive to that kind of thing, or if you're really super sensitive to being around a lot of people, it could be just sort of like too, too much, right? Or it could be an overdose or sensitivity to electronic energy, right? The EMFs, the computer screens, that kind of thing. So if sloth is your spirit animal, you might find yourself feeling ungrounded easily. And there are some solutions that sloth offers itself, right? One of these is to take time to rest and hang out and do nothing, right? So things like zero-point meditation, yin yoga, coming to stillness practices, could be really great things to do. Or make like a sloth ahead for the trees. You can really just go and hang out with trees in the forest that will probably bring you back down to earth in a really healthy way, make you feel a lot, lot better. Or just get away from your screens, go in the garden, earthing, some barefoot walking, that kind of thing. Can be an antidote, right? To this over sensitivity, right? Okay. So what about sloth poop? I mentioned already that they are really vulnerable on the ground. The one time that they actually do come to the ground is when they poop. They only do this once a week, but they come all the way down their tree and poop at the bottom. Sloths usually hang out most of the time in one tree. So they have a really personal relationship with a single tree. And when it's time to poop, they come down and poop right at the bottom of that. So why did they do this? Because it's such a great risk. The scientists think that it has something to do with the reproductive cycle. So it might be like the scent marking kind of thing. It might also help to fertilize the tree that the sloth lives on, which would be a symbiotic relationship with that particular tree that's offering it shelter. But it is a little bit of a mystery, okay? One way to interpret this behavior is to look for Achilles' heels. If you remember the story of Achilles, who was the Greek warrior who had like his heel was his vulnerable point, and sloth is kind of the same way. It's got the super vulnerable point in its little weekly cycle. And so if sloth's coming up, it may be like you may have an Achilles' heel that you're not really aware of. So look for that. See if there's somewhere where you're being vulnerable that you weren't really thinking about. But there's another interpretation of the significance of this behavior that I kind of was given when I inquired in the Akash about this sloth behavior. It's the poop inquiry. So basically, I was told that the weekly descent is like a ritual of cleansing and purification. When a sloth person goes into a ritual space, he must be like super aware of any potential negative forces and just wait for them to clear, okay? So be really discerning, okay? As part of this is patience and just waiting for the right time. And part of it is awareness and being discerning of what's going on around you. And this all has to do with purification or letting go of things, right? The interesting part talks about vulnerability because releasing your old baggage, your stuff often puts you in a really vulnerable spot. And it's just not easy. We all know this. It's not easy to go there to be that vulnerable, but you need to do it in order to let go. So sloth is saying be really aware and selective when and how you unload your stuff. So either you may be feeling vulnerable or you're unloading may kind of make other people feel vulnerable, right?  I do it with some ritual, do it in an appropriate way and be discreet, right? This doesn't mean have shame about it. It just means like find the appropriate place where it's really going to be done in a way that is healing for everybody involved. So anytime that you're dealing with the shadow side of a spirit animal, you can look to its predator-prey relationships for balancing, okay? So we already mentioned going to the trees, which is like they're kind of that's what they eat to help in grounding. So now we're going to look at what eats sloths and those animals can potentially balance other aspects of sloth that may be coming forward as challenging. The major predators of sloths are the big cats like jaguars and ocelots, margays, some of them aren't so big, but you know they're bigger than house cats, and birds of prey and some of these are the crested eagle, the harpy eagle, and the spectacled owl. And so these are all what they have in common is they're all predators that hunt largely by sight and so remember that the sloth has super poor eyesight. So this is where the balancing comes in. If you see this aspect of sloth coming up as a challenger, this eyesight deal that can be sort of like blind spots, you know, being unclear about your future, anything like that. You can just do any kind of clearing work on the third eye or working with these predators of the sloth as spirit animals to assist in strengthening that third eye and clearing it out, okay? So some other ways to address this might be to take a good look at your priorities, right? Where might you have been losing sight of your goals or things that are important to you, taking some time out for visioning work, maybe a vision quest of some kind, or perhaps it's time for a life review or a business review, right? So while a vision quest looks forward, life review looks backwards and you can shine that bright light of examination on your life, analyze where things went well, where things didn't really, it's a chance to really fess up to the truth, right? That aside self judgment and look really honestly for wherever fear has played a role and for wherever dissatisfaction raises its head, okay? If there's things that you're really unhappy with in your life, sometimes it's hard to admit that. So, you know, it's easy to say there's no problem, but if you've come to a standstill and nothing ever seems to change for the better, then sloth coming up at this time might be an indication that it's time to take one of these reviews and be really honest with yourself, where am I really unhappy? Where am I feeling fear about things? And only when you're aware of it, then you can do the work to clear it out. Okay, so working with Jaguar and or any of the other cats as well as the owl can help you with this seeing in the dark aspect because you've got to sometimes look into your blind spots. These animals have very, very strong third eye energy and the cats also have this energy of independence and they're good with boundaries too. So, the cats can help you work with that solar plexus energy, right? Because the sloth is so interconnected sometimes, soft people can lose sight of their own boundaries, right? Even though sloths do have territories. So, it's not going to be like super hard for you as an animal that doesn't have a lot of boundaries, but still just because it's so interconnected with the whole environment that there may be some issues with kind of solar plexus strengthening the solar plexus can help to come back to that sense of sovereignty, right, of yourself. And then also if you're having trouble bringing things into focus or just need clarity, Eagle is really great at doing that and has the strength to swoop in and just take out whatever's been holding you down, right, in terms of not being aware of stuff. All right, so more healing practices for sloth people. One thing that sloth could be bringing up, and I think this is related to the stillness that I mentioned before, but it may just be time to take a vacation, you know? So, what would it feel like to take the time for yourself to really slow down and or even shut everything down for a while, right? So, an ideal vacation for a sloth person might just be to sleep on the beach for, you know, a week or to rent a cabin and just sleep and veg or just take a few days of home even staying in bed or sit on the couch or, you know, just whatever just lays around. Sometimes we need that. Sometimes the most healing thing for mind, body and soul is actually come to zero point and shut it all out, right? Just take a break from everything. Just allowing yourself to sit and stare into space can be a really amazing, amazing healing experience. And it can be even just for a few minutes or it could be, you know, three, four days, right? Whatever it is that you need, just tune into that. Or, you know, if that's not possible for you, and I would say if you don't think it's possible for you, then you probably really need it, right? That's the story. But if it's not resonating with you, you know, then maybe consider some like practice like yin yoga or stillness meditation or something like that that will help you to access that still quiet zero point within yourself. Now, a couple of the biggest threats to sloth include the habitat destruction and the resulting isolation. Okay, so sloths reproduce really slowly, just one baby a year. And the tendency to stay put can impact their fertility, right? Or their ability to bring forth babies. So, isolation is another thing, another shadow side thing that can show up. But sometimes we really need that isolation. It's super healing, but it can also be a destructive kind of isolation. So, remember that the sacral chakra governs both reproduction and creativity. So, if you're having a creative slump, sloth's message might be to just get out and mingle with other creative people, share ideas, fertilize your mind with different viewpoints, different thoughts and energies. So, as much as we've covered, sloth has so much more to share. If you have insights, stick them in the comments below. And before I share my personal sloth story, I just want to let you know that I've written most of this material up into a blog. Check that out. If you like the link to that, we'll be in the description. All right, so my personal sloth story is when I was, oh, early 20s, I spent some time at Costa Rica and I had relatives there, some cousins. And one of them is my cousin, Julia. And she is an amazing person. She's an amazing artist. She does silver jewelry, which is beautiful. So, look her up flying fox jewelry. She does bats. But at the time, she had a sloth. And the reason was because she had done some animal rehabilitation. And so, Tilly was this little orphaned sloth, and she was given to Julia to raise and reintroduce back into the wild. So, I was there, was locked out to be there at the time when she was raising Tilly. And she had this setup in this cabin that she lived in, where Tilly had a branch that she could go from outside to inside the cabin at Will. And one time I was over there visiting Julia, and I was just kind of standing there. We were talking, I think she was making gingerbread. And so, it was just talking. And all of a sudden, I feel this little tickle at the top of my head. I look up and there is Tilly. She was so quiet. And it was like, and I had just been looking there. So, sloths can move a little faster than you think they might. Sometimes they can move a little faster. So, she had just in the last minute or so had come in and was super curious about me. Now, she could have probably ripped me open with those claws of hers, but she was so, so gentle. Just touching, just curious about this strange new being in the cabin. So, that's my sloth story. Hope you enjoyed. Enjoy your sloth.
