It's fine, you can just turn me. You can stand here. He messed up him. He's right in front of the camera. Anna and Yuliza are doing a marriage. Nikasema, one of the lessons that I have learned is sick first to understand before being understood. What is the secret you have in marriage? What is the secret you have in marriage? How about growth mindset? How about growth mindset? Keep improving. Don't think you know everything. Know that you have issues, you check your issues, improve them. When Zako checks the issues, she improves them. How do you sort your issues? How do you sort your issues? Being interested to find what's the best thing to do. Not what is my way or her way, what's the best way. You get my point. But sometimes people ask whether it's my way or your way. But instead of what's the best way for both of us. Especially in kwaingangumu, kwaingangumu is a pressure. But if you look at it, keep improving because of being in a relationship, then it's positive. But if you look at it, you can look at it negatively. But as we see it positively, that's what I would say. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing next to a legend, a mother figure. A role model to many. A super woman. The first time I came across you was that time you had an amazing splendid wedding in Nevada. Oh my God! You know how long ago that was? 18 years ago. That is 18, 2005. It's a transition. So many things have happened. Been married now. This is going to be an 18th year. I have three kids. 16, 9, 0. 8 months. I'm happy. Life is great. People ask me, how's life as a mother? I've been a mother for 16 years. It's beautiful. I genuinely can't remember life before. It gives me so much joy. It's such a big part of my life right now. It's beautiful. It's something beautiful, something amazing. What? Marriage is something amazing. You've been there for the last 16 years. 18 years! Samarize for me. Give me a watch. You cannot summarize it in one word. My friend, it is impossible. I would say it has its ups and downs. But it's worth it. Listen you've learned? In marriage, seek first to understand before wanting to be understood. Think about it. Everybody wants to be understood. But if you seek to understand your partner before you push for your partner to understand you, then you'll be able to see and appreciate where they're coming from. Now imagine if you're both doing that for each other. So your partner is trying to understand you and you are trying to understand this. So you will give each other grace. You'll be kinder to each other. You'll be so harsh to all such high standards. You'll forgive easier. There are so many, this high rise of a single mother in the country. Because maybe people differ, people opt to take that way. Why people are doing this? I wouldn't say, I don't know why and everybody is entitled to do what they feel is best for their lives and what they feel is best for their... I'm sorry I'm talking to your lovely wife. It's fine, you can just call me.  One of the lessons that I have learnt is to seek first to understand before being understood. What is the secret you have in mind? Growth mindset. Have a growth mindset. Keep improving. Don't think you know everything. You know that you have issues, you check your issues, improve them, when zako she checks her issues, she improves them. How do you sort your issues? How do you sort your issues? Being interested to find what's the best thing to do, not what is my way or her way, what's the best way. You get my point. But sometimes people ask whether it's my way or your way, but instead of what's the best way for both of us. Especially in a kwaangangumu, actually kwaambi, atasis wukitwa naivi. In a kwaangumu na badu ikuna pressure, but if you look at it that I keep improving because of being in a relationship, then it's positive. But if you look at it like muto na kubok down, badela kusema na kwe improve, then you can look at it negatively, but as we see it positively, that's what I would say. Let's talk about Talanta Hela, because you guys are the pioneers of the Kenyan music industry. But you guys started, we never heard of the Talanta Hela. We never dream of one day government will be able to come up with something that will benefit artists, benefit the creative economy. Ya.  No, I genuinely feel, yes, we've come a long way. When we started, we were just young people who were interested in music and being creative. We never ever had the dream that it could be amounted to something as big as it is right now to the place where the government is finally taking us with the seriousness. I mean, this industry, it is worth about 15 billion. Right? It is about time, now is the right time to help creatives to monetize their talent. To monetize. We're not trying to look for creatives. Creatives wameja kenya. What creatives need is a chance to make money. They just need an equal level playing field. They need the structures in place. They need support to just monetize their talent. And that's what Talanta Hela is all about. Talanta Hela Talanta Hela I agree with that. I think it started off like people are driven by passion but now we need to move into a way that is about business because as we realize sometimes if we don't have the support of the government, the government has noticed that there is money that can be made from there. It just needs to help the structure to help the people We've seen it online when we have an upcoming musicians. You see, there's a lady called Geshwana Ivasha. It was given a limelight. Blocks were posting her work. They appreciated her work. But in reality people were like, no, she's not good in singing. Kenyans want to disturb. Kenyans don't give people chances, second chances. I don't know what you have to say about that. Sorry, Kenyans don't want to what? Kenyans don't love to appreciate their own. Because when someone comes up he raps. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say Kenyans don't love to appreciate their own. I mean there's been a lot of love as well. The same time they'll be Kenyans and not just Kenyans. Human beings, we criticize and at the same time we appreciate. That is the nature of, we need to be kinder to ourselves. It's not a Kenyan problem. It's a human problem. So sometimes you look and you criticize but so many other times you'll appreciate and love. You get. So for me I would say that's the nature of social media. First of all, social media opens up a lot to people. Sometimes someone is going through a hard time.  That's from them. You get. And sometimes maybe they have a genuine thing they're trying to pass across. Social media akuna rules. So sometimes guys will hate, sometimes they love and that's all okay. But I genuinely feel like there's a lot of upcoming artists that are being shown a lot of love by the same, same Kenyans as well. Yes. You being the pioneers, are we expecting maybe a reality series from you guys? Because now the real reality, because the realities we have Kenyans are scripting it. No, no, no, we have one. It comes on Nation. You can check it out on Nation at 7. For us it's about just our lives trying to navigate our lives in our forties. What we've learned, what we've, how we're defining different things from love, success to parenting. So it's a very, it's a good easy watch about what are the things that the lessons we've learned along the way. But also in the level of entertainment a lot of, I would say edutainment, right? I mean there are all kinds of reality. And I think entertainment comes in all forms. Sometimes you want drama. Sometimes you want something that you can learn from. Sometimes just want easy entertainment and stuff like that. So for us that's where we are in our lives as well. Because I think that with the 2025 years in adulthood we've learned a couple of things that when you see young guys coming in as she was saying, we've started understanding humans in a better way. So that you don't victimize yourself.  Because as you grow, there will be people pushing you down. Wherever you are, it's not one in Kenya. So how do you manage to right now with social media be strong enough even if you're being discouraged to look at the positive side of anything. Focus on the people are giving you positive energy. Don't focus on the negative. Maybe you pick the lessons from the negative but focus on the positive. So that's the reality of life. That's how life is basically. To your fans, maybe I want to your fans. I just want to say thanks for the love. Thanks for loving on Kenyan music and yeah, all the support and all the love that we get on social media we get a lot of love. So I'm really, really, really grateful for all that. We can't take that for granted. It's been many years. So attack then. Kudemues. Kudemues. Kudemues. Kwaiseimu amues. Alright. You need to come to the university. You need to come to the university. You need to come to the university. You need to come to the university. Yes, brother. Arresha muka. Alright. Alright.


So we're going to start today and go through the Dreamer of the Dream section. Suffering is an emphasis upon all that the world has done to injure youth. Here is the world's demented version of salvation, clearly shown. Like to a dream of punishment in which the Dreamer is unconscious of what brought on the attack against himself, he sees himself attacked unjustly and by something not himself. I think that sentence really gets into two central ideas, attacked unjustly. So that's the old thing of it's not fair and by something not himself. That's where the subject object split comes in. That's something not himself could be another person. Other than himself, which he identifies as a person, it could be a dog. Someone could feel themselves perceived as attacked by a hurricane or tornado. But it is something that is not himself. You can tell beneath all of those things, which seem to be quite varied in form, still the subject object split. There's something that is doing the attacking and there's something that's being attacked. And again, if we took that in a little deeper, it would be the body identification or the personhood, which is the subject. Person versus something. Or it could be the strange variation, which is summarized maybe by the statement, I keep beating myself up over this where it's the body and the person that seems to do things to themselves. But this is not the real self, of course. It's just an image. They talk about self-inflicted wounds or drawing pain to myself or attracting pain in some form or this and that. And that's all still... Self-hate. It's still broken up as if the self is an image in linear time. And somehow as if you can think of times when you've done things to harm yourself or whatever. Or even seem to be doing something. It would seem that somebody who had a knife who inflicted a wound on the arm, that would seem to be a self-inflicted wound. But that still isn't self. That's the image. That's just another image just like an image of an intruder coming into a house, so to speak, and coming in and inflicting a wound, which seemed to be different than a self-inflicted wound. But in those cases, bodies can seem to harm other bodies. And bodies can even seem to harm themselves. But all of them are projections. All of them are images. Sirs, are you saying that it's always a case of... There's always a person involved and there's always something else. And the conflict seems to be between the person and something else. I'm trying to translate this over to when you project on to the person that you identify with. And then it's the person you identify with against or in conflict with life. So the person you identify becomes the object, the subject and the object. I think it's what you're saying.  When you say self-inflicted wound, is this one actually inflicting harm or injury or attacking oneself? And the basic premise of the course is that mind cannot attack. Good. Hallelujah, thank heavens. That's why mind is innocent. Because mind cannot attack. The wrong mind is part of this construction where it's identified. The mind believes it has left its abstract reality and it's taken on form and bodies can seem to attack. So the illusion of attack seems to occur in form. And there is a sense of that. I mean, even in expressions when we say I'm warring myself or I'm fighting against myself or how emotions that we have, that there's almost two parts of me that are in conflict. Even in expression, part of me knows or part of me feels or part of me, whatever, is it? Yeah, parts, you know, that aren't always congruent or something. They don't agree. And that way, whether it's self-inflicted wound in terms of physical or I'm having a war in my mind right now or whatever, all of them are just statements of the wrong mind. What mind is warring with itself. And it seems, it's very careful when you even get into warring and talk about different parts. It's again that the right mind and the wrong mind are not at war. The right mind does not respond. The right mind does not respond. The wrong mind, you could say attacks or even better, is just a belief system of attack. Not like it's an entity. So it's the illusion of attack. And the images that are always seeming to be at war, the different parts, are always different segments and aspects of an illusion. In other words, when someone says, for example, well, I'm going to, like a runner, I'm not really competing against other runners, but I'm competing with myself. It's really just two images. It's like the mind holding off maybe like an ideal time for running the mile or whatever. Or maybe it's some time that it's run in the past. So it's a past image of a time that is run. And now it believes that it's a separate image from that now, and it's going to try to run and beat that time. So we're always talking about, whenever we're talking about competition with oneself or attacking oneself or whatever, there are images that are involved in that. So what's the image, or the image involved in someone doing it? They seem to be the one doing it and the one receiving it. The one attacking and the one being attacked. The arm, kind of like you could say that's holding the knife. And the arm is getting it. What I hear you saying, too, is just a demonstration of the duality, which is the wrong mind. It doesn't take two of anything to demonstrate duality, not two bodies or not an attacker and a person being attacked by a victim and a victimizer. It's the duality in the mind. It's not the physical duality of a subject and an object. It's projected out that way. Even if you set a self-inflicted wound, there would be the kind of the hand that was holding the knife and the arm that was getting the wound. You can still see the duality perceived in the world. Even in that example, you could say, well, it's just one person, one body. Well, wait a minute. One's holding the knife and one's receiving the blow, so to speak. See, it's not... When you were saying it's in the mind, the whole key is to see the mind. It doesn't want to see that. It's just holding on to a false belief system. So it projects the split out of the world and it does see duality. You could just say plain duality. That is cleaning what is one into parts. That's where all the extremes come in that we've talked about. Hot, cold, fast, slow, male, female, high, low, on and on and on, all the seeming extremes. Right arm, left arm. Right arm was nice. Left arm without a knife. You could break it up any way you wanted, but the whole key is to start to see that there isn't any duality in the world. The world's just a screen. It comes back to our borderland discussion where the key thing is to learn what is the same and what is different. What is the same? All the images. Everything on the screen is the same. What is different? The right mind and the wrong mind. Two different purposes in mind. They are different. They like it all. One's a reflection of reality, the other one's non-existent. They're different in every way. So that's what we keep coming back to all the time. It's just a clear, clear understanding of what is the same. You can tell that all of the seeming upsets that have come up over the last several weeks or years and whatever have always been an ambiguity about that distinction. You have to believe that specifics are different for them to be important. Whether there's this kind of the number of cookies in a jar or not, whether the rug is this clean or not, whether you go on and on and on. All the seeming difficulties that come up have the underlying assumption that there are aspects of this world that are different from other aspects. And consequently, some can be better than others. Some can be better than others. And causation. As simple as the little thing you were just sharing about the pamphlet that the newsletter, so to speak, or whatever you call it, could excerpts from the dialogue, could wet the appetite for the pamphlets. You can see the causation even in subtle ways is in there. The point of all of this is to come to the awareness that images are images or images. Illusions are one. That there isn't any causation in the world. Talk about rest. What would you need to do? And what conflict could you feel if you realized there wasn't duality in the world? There wasn't hierarchies of images. Miracles would be universal. Miracles would be... There would be no order of difficulty in miracles. You would have on your hands the last miracle. And the first. The miracles is kind of like taking this idea of the atomenance as if it's strung out, the mind believes in linear time, as if it's a string, like beads on a string. The first bead was the same as the last bead. The beads in between were somehow helping collapse the string so that the first bead and the last bead could come together and be seen as one and the same. The first miracle and the last miracle was and is the atomen. And the only reason that this is a course in miracles and is being described in terms of becoming more miracle-minded and thinking habitually, miracle-minded, and right-mindedness and that is because the mind believes in linear time. So that's a metaphor. The miracle is a metaphor of all those beads in between. Holy encounters are the same way. It seems as if it's described as if whenever you meet anyone, remember it's a holy encounter. Well, as you see the body components that are described in that metaphor, as you see anyone, as you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. When we're going to be traveling to some of these places out west, you'll start to see that they're starting to come to the idea that there's only one miracle about the atomen. There's only one holy encounter. There's only one holy instant. You know, it's transcending the metaphors and coming to that state of mind that sees all that was just like stepping stones. There's only one holy relationship. It's not described that way, and of course the miracle is a lot of time.


I mean, for me, education is oriented towards social justice and that's a big part of it. Teaching them the values of equity and of diversity and of inclusion. Students are counting on us as their teachers and as their mentors to bring them valuable education and to make them feel like their lives matter. Hashim's work is to make his school and other schools safe and inclusive and to teach about what that means in an intersectional way. He's positive and he's vibrant and we are drawn to him as his colleagues as well as his students. Seeing the appreciation and students when they simply feel like you have made an impact and I think those are one of the things that I appreciate the most.


So don't get confused between values and culture. One is what we believe that's good, but the other is what how we behave and that's where what's good becomes outstanding. If you have a value that you can't make a behavior then it will never be your culture and you can't claim it has been your culture and culture matters far more than your values do. Your values can say anything but if you can't if you can't produce that in terms of a cultural behavior it's worthless. You can claim anything to be your value but if you can't make that the behavioral norm of your organization on your team then the value is really just words on a page. So values and culture beliefs and behaviors two different things.


Item number SCP-3866 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures All known instances of SCP-3866 are to be kept in a secure container at Site-23. Testing may only take place if a long-term humanoid containment pod is available. Description SCP-3866 refers to a group of unmarked pharmaceutical tablets recovered during the raid of an amateur medical facility in Palm Beach, Florida. See Addendum SCP-3866-1 for details. Ingestion of SCP-3866 causes the subject to immediately enter a hibernation-like state, lowering brain activity immensely, and slowing the subject's heartbeat to approximately one beat every 34 days. It is currently unknown exactly how long an individual can survive in this state, although estimates project that a human can survive for at least 3,000 years. This assumes the subject is a baseline human, and is given an adequate oxygen and nutrition supply. There is no known method to achieve this state with modern medical equipment. Addendum SCP-3866-1 On April 18, 2000, MTF-Epsilon-6, Village Idiots, commenced an investigation of an unnamed amateur medical facility offering use to Asia and Palm Beach, Florida. The majority of the patients who approached the facility sought position-assisted suicide. The investigation was initiated after the onset of a mega-K-class end-of-death scenario. Due to the nature of the scenario, it was necessary to determine if the operation was fraudulent or anomalous. Monitoring of the facility showed that the operation was, to some degree, both fraudulent and anomalous. It did not terminate the patients, and what results it did achieve were obtained through anomalous means. Once patients ingested SCP-3866, employees of the facility would bury the body behind the facility. MTF-Epsilon-6 raided the facility on April 29, 2000, and apprehended all personnel. This included the leader of the operation, Jacob Postman. A series of text messages were recovered from Postman's bone between him and an individual labeled in Postman's context as Dato, denoted below as the text in red. Okay, I was told to message you directly about details about the medicine, but just making sure. You talked to Alex Bennings, right? Yes, spoke with Benning. Good talk. So, are you able to make pills for euthanasia? Euthanasia? Why you need Asian pills? No, like, like pills used to putting people down. Like cyanide? Sorta, but less painful. Like a peaceful sleep. Oh, yes, yes, I have a pill for you. Longest sleep. Good. How long do you think it will take to get the first batch to me? Depends on weather. I don't like rain. What's rain gotta do with it? No fun walking in rain would have to deliver on a different day.  By foot? You asked how long for me to get to you. No, like, how long until you had the pills made? Oh, they done. Really? Yes. And they work? Hamsters still sleep. Wow, you really do work as fast as they say. This is why you trust Dato. Alright, we'll come pick them up then. You got somewhere to meet? Ask Benning. Be there soon. Okay, see you there in an hour. Interrogation of Postman yielded the exact address of the meeting.  Addendum, SCP-3866-2, between July 3, 2000, and July 6, 2000, civilians reported vocalization from the area behind a medical facility, generally in the form of screaming, weeping, or retching. Investigation into the disturbance determined that the noise was caused by 541 buried ex-patients of the medical facility, 491 of whom had been buried without a casket. After the patients were exhumed, medical personnel extracted all soil, minerals, and insects from their bodies to remove evidence of the event. Personnel then administered to patients amnestics and returned into society with appropriate cover stories.


Aloha, I'm Steven Philip Katz and I want to welcome you to Shrink Wrap Hawaii and we have a treat today because I have a very special guest and her name is Christine Heath. Welcome. Hi, Steve. And the name of your thing in the Big Island is the Hawaii... Hawaii Counseling and Education Center, but we have offices in Honolulu and on the Big Island. Oh, I didn't know that. But let's back up a little bit. Okay. Okay, so you were telling me you were originally from Minnesota. I am. And how did you get... You betcha. You betcha. How did you get to Minnesota from here besides taking a plane, I guess? Well, I was 35 and I was learning how to be a nice person instead of an angry person and I was kind of a... We will talk about that. Yeah, kind of a feminist at the time, hot dog feminist and I was learning how to be a lot calmer and happier and I thought if I stayed in Minnesota, somebody was bound to marry me and if I married somebody in Minnesota, I'd be stuck there for life. So I looked around and I had come to Hawaii for a couple of conferences and I realized that some of the work that we were doing professionally would really fit in with the culture here. Now, who's we? At my clinic in Minnesota, the work that we were doing there, that's based on kind of an understanding of what the local culture would call living in aloha and we would call living in mental well-being. So when I noticed that, that people were talking about that and they were thinking about that, I thought perhaps it would probably be better than like saying moving to New York City or places where that wasn't as much of a value. So you came here, went or... Not the people in New York City don't have a... That's okay, you know I'm from New York, so I won't take offense too much. But I'm here, obviously, so I probably agree with you. Did you go directly to the big island or did you come to Oahu first? No, I came to Oahu first and we opened the Hawaii Center 1985, April of 1985 and we were in Kailua, was our initial location and we have been in Kailua now since 1995 and we also have now an office in IAEA and when I moved back to Minnesota for ten years and set up a satellite there again and then moved back here and when we moved back here I got to the big island and so now we're opening a couple of offices there. So your title is a U.S. psychologist? I'm a marriage appeal me therapist. You're, oh, like me? Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm a certified substance abuse counselor, I guess. CSEC. Yeah, I'm a CSEC. So what is the name of your practice, your modality, can I call it? And how is it different than a psychologist or a marriage and family therapist? And what I would do if I wasn't part of the system that you're a part of? Well, that sounds rambling. Yeah, I don't know what other people do, but all of the people that work for us are trained in the same understanding. So it's really the paradigm that we look at people and look at helping people from that's different. So everybody would do it differently. It's not like it's a set of techniques or a set of rituals or things like that. It's like looking at how people create their reality. So it's inside out as opposed to looking at how the outside world impacts people. Inside out. I know that was a movie. But what do you mean by that? Well, human beings create their experience moment to moment. And they do that with thought and consciousness. So in order to be alive, in order to have a psychological experience, you have to be alive, you have to be conscious, and you have to have thought. And so those are the things that make all human beings the same.  Okay, I learn best by example. So I show up at your office, I called you up on the phone. I said, I need an appointment like now. And you have an opening and you say, yeah, come on down, right? And I say something like I'm having a terrible problem with my girlfriend. Every time we see each other, we get into a big argument. I think she really needs to be here, but she's in Minnesota now and I'm here. And we're just fighting on the phone with text messages and emails and every which way and we just keep fighting. And I don't know, we were supposed to get married now. I don't know if we should get married. What do I do? Well, first of all, I don't know what you should do. I have no idea what you should do. But I do know that in the state of mind you're in right now, you're not going to come up with an answer. Right, I'm very stressed out and that's why I came to see you. Because I'm upset enough, but I still know I'm upset and probably not in a good position to make a decision that will affect the rest of my life, but I don't know where to go from here. Okay, well, this is going to be like the short version, right? So I have to find out about the person and everything. But what I would say to you is that could you learn, would you like to learn to live in a state of mind where you weren't doing so much thinking about it and you were less stressed? All right, of course I want to be less stressed. Okay, so that's what I can teach you. And if you get into a state of mind as a result of that, where your mind gets quieter and you're able to listen kind of to your own wisdom, your own knowing about what to do, then you'll be able to make that decision and you'll feel good about it. That sounds great. Where do we start? Okay, well, first of all, I'd be talking to you about the fact that you were born with a state of innate mental well-being. So babies, before they're able to think really very much, I mean, they have the basic program that comes with the brain.   So there's a natural resetting ability that's built into every human being. Now, what's happening is you're doing too much processing, like you're thinking too much about all this. Oh, yeah, all the time. Okay, so as you start to see that that's not helping you, then you stop doing that.  I would say right now that you're not a very good listener because your mind is kind of going, as I'm talking, you're getting ahead of me. You're trying to think about where I'm going to go and how you're going to apply this and what you're going to do with it. How'd you know that? Because that's what we all do. All right, so how do I stop that? Okay, so right now you're kind of in information application mode. So you want to get information about how you're going to get into a state that's already built into you. Okay. So that natural state of mental well-being is already there. All you have to do is get your mind focused right now in the here and now and let yourself relax a little bit. And what? As you relax, your mind will stop quieting. Now what you're doing is as you relax and your little brain chips in and goes, hey, wait a minute, now what should we do? What are we going to do now? And you just tell yourself to start listening because inside of everybody, we have this knowing where we kind of know what to do when we're in that state of mind where we can listen to it. When we get into an insecure state of mind, and that's one of the things that we help people to see is that the state of mind that you're in is what produces your cognition. So what produces your thinking is the state of mind you're in. So when you're in a really insecure state of mind, you have a lot of freaked out thinking. And you're trying to then figure out what to do based on that state of mind. But that state of mind is what's producing that feeling of being freaked out. So the first thing we have to do is help you to kind of see how thinking works in the moment. And as you see that, you'll be able to do that for yourself more at the time. Okay. Okay, the other thing that we would learn is to understand how your feelings work. Okay, because your feelings are just your thought and consciousness is bringing that thought to life. So you're freaking yourself out literally by thinking to yourself, listening to yourself think, and then you're reacting to your own thinking. So when you're in that feeling of stress and being kind of stressed out about things, if you take a deep breath and you calm down, your thinking changes on its own. You relax and you start listening.  That's why I go to the beach every day. Yeah. Well, see, the idea of this is that you could actually live there if you don't blame it on the beach. But if you don't blame it on the beach, then if you can't go to the beach. What do you mean blame it on the beach? Well, if it doesn't look like the beach is the one that's doing it to you.  So if the beach was making you relaxed, everybody would get relaxed at the beach. Ah, so I'm doing that to me. So when you go to the beach, you calm down. Your mind gets quiet and you start feeling good. That's right. But if you don't see that that's something you're doing that's happening inside of you. Yeah, but I mean, it's a lot easier to do it there than on the subway. Really? I haven't been on the subway in a long time.  You know, when you're in a mob and you're physically uncomfortable and your personal space is being invaded. It's very hard. Although you made me think of a man that I saw 40 years ago was on a train going from Alexandria to Cairo, Egypt. There was no room on the train. I mean, there were people on the roof of the train going through the desert, which was kind of scary because it was slanted. And it was going through the desert in the middle of the night. And if you rolled off when you went to fall asleep on the roof because it was too hot inside, you were just gone. Right? So I tried the roof thing. I was like, no, I'm not doing this. And then there was this man. I don't know. He's probably the same age as I am now or even younger, but I thought of him at the time as a very old man. And he had found this little spot in the corner of the compartment where they stacked the mail. I mean, there was really no room for people. I remember the male guy was trying to yell and scream at people in Alexandria. And don't go in their room. But there was no room. So everybody went everywhere. And this man went. He sat down. He crossed his legs. And he didn't move for eight hours. And he looked at peace. And maybe that's what you're talking about. Yeah. See, that state of mind is inside of us. Nothing that we do or don't do puts us there or makes it go away. It's always there, but we're not paying attention to it. See, when you're in the middle of the subway and you're paying attention to all the people and how many there are and how fast everybody's going. And suddenly that becomes your reality because of what you're thinking about. Yeah. But I mean, it seems to be a paradox because you're saying that you should be in the present moment, right? My present moment is I'm in the subway with all these people around me and all the noise and stuff. Right. But whether that looks like a fun thing to do or a stressful thing to do, that comes from your thinking about it. That's absolutely. Because when I was a little kid and I used to go visit my grandmother on the Lower East Side, we took three trains. It was the funnest part of my week.  So it's sometimes they call that reframing, I guess. Well, reframing is changing your thinking after you've thought it. So it's a little bit after the fact. Right. Okay. What we're talking about is just notice that it's just your thinking. Right. And then the reframing comes after that. I mean, like if I'm on the subway and I'm miserable, I could think, I don't need to be miserable. This could be fun. I need to go and put my nose against the glass. Right. So what we're talking about is that if you don't see that your thoughts create your experience, that won't come to mind. Right. Or what will come to mind is I can't change my thinking. So first I have to take responsibility for how I feel. Yeah. That's a hard one because stepping out of the role play for a second when people come in my practice, you know, especially with couples, they're all about it's his fault, it's her fault. Right. I am in the final stages of a book I'm writing on relationships and this understanding. And it's called The Secret of Love, Unlocking the Mystery and Unleashing the Magic. Hold that thought. We'll be right back after a word from somebody else. Hello, I'm Maria Mera and I'm here to invite you to my bilingual show, Viva Hawaii on Sintek, Hawaii every other Monday at 3 p.m. We are here to talk about news, issues and events local and around the world.

Welcome back to Shrink Rap Hawaii. I'm with Christine Heath and Christine just told me that she's in the final stages of publishing a book. What's the name of that book again? The Secret of Love, Unlocking the Mystery and Unleashing the Magic. So, I mean, that's what we all want to know about. Yeah. Can you tell me, you know, give me a little flap thing of like what's that about? Well, we listen to this tape by a man named Sidney Banks and it was called Thought and Marriage. And we got inspired by that tape and decided that what we would do is have some quotes from that tape and then have stories of couples and how they have changed and people that got caught up in different things and then have a little discussion about how understanding how mind, thought and consciousness work together to create experience helps people to have a beautiful relationship. So, you actually got people to agree to let you talk about them or to change their names? It's a combination of those things. Some people were fine with it. Some people I couldn't remember their names because they're like... A long time ago. Yeah, a long time ago. And those stories I changed the sex or I changed the location. That's wonderful. I mean, that's to me, that's how I learned, as you can see by concrete example, right? So what happened to these people? What happened to those people? Is there a common thread? Well, it's seeing that love is something that's inside of all of us. I mean, really, that's kind of the answer for what's ails the world is that we all have different thinking about life. Everybody does. And depending on the state of mind we're in the quality of that thinking can be very loving or very negative. So if people, like what I see with the couples that I work with is they think the other one is making them upset. And so if they understand that their good feeling has nothing to do with their spouse then that changes the dynamic in the relationship incredibly. Like love is not something we can give away. Really, if we could, we'd both be millionaires, right? We'd make people feel love and they would change and it'd be a different world. But love is what comes in the way, it's seen, this is a metaphor, but it comes before thought. It's what turns our brain on. It's what is life, the life energy, whatever that is. That state of love is that natural state of innate health that's inside of everybody. All right, so this was a question that I struggled with before, you know, when I was a lot younger and maybe everybody struggles with. So does that mean that any two people can create a loving marriage together? Yes.  But we can't help but have our own opinions. And sometimes you're presented with people that are in such a seemingly toxic relationship. They both feel terrible whenever they're together. And you don't think there's ever a case where it would be easier for them to just both of them start over again with somebody new? I don't think it would be easier or harder either way. There's always going to be a struggle. But if they want to stay, I mean I think that when people come in to see me they want to stay together. They wouldn't bother to come. Sometimes, I had a couple come see me and she said, I'm not here to work it out. I'm here so that we can separate amicably as possible. Yeah, I mean I've had people that come like that too. But they're still in my office. So you think as long as they're in your office it's your job to bring them together? No, it's not my job to do that or not to bring them together. It's their job to do that. What's your job? My job is to get them into a state of mind where they're in a positive feeling about it. So if they both agree when they're in a good state of mind that's splitting up as a good idea then that's what they do. But if they're in an insecure state of mind or they're very upset and they're not thinking in ways that is very healthy then I tell them that the first thing I want to do with you is help you to get into a better state of mind because if you decide to divorce from a good state of mind you know that that's the right thing. Great, so then do you work with them individually or together or both? Both. So some of the time you see them together? I specialize in working with domestic violence and a lot of family sexual abuse when I first was a baby therapist and that's all I did. I set up a shelter for battered women I was very involved with some of the most dysfunctional people and families that I'd ever worked with and I was amazed when I started to talk to them in a different way about not trying to manage their problems or fight fair or get through their arguments when they understood how to be in a good place themselves they were able to create the relationship that they wanted. They just didn't see it. So what does that look like when you're working with the two of them together? Well, I don't put two people in the same room kind of the rule of thumb is if you come in with your spouse and by sitting in the room together you bum each other out like somebody gets in a lower state of mind one of the things we would not do in therapy is encourage getting people into a lower state of mind while they're in therapy like they come to feel better and so I would meet with them separately until they both were able to sit in the room with each other without getting into a fight or getting into a fight. Alright, so let's say that they get to that point then what happens when they're together? Well, I don't know it's different with every couple that comes in but the idea is that they start to understand where the other person is coming from and they understand how thought works for them. So once they're in this right state of mind then they can have empathy for the other person and try to understand how the other person feels. Because they don't have all that insecure thinking going on about what the other person thinks about me. What do you point your finger at me? That kind of thinking? Yeah, yeah, yeah.  See this is a good example of how when we look at life we get tricked by thought it's like creates an illusion that what I'm thinking in my head is literally what I'm seeing in my life but it looks like what I'm seeing in my life is what's creating what I'm thinking in my head.  Right. But if I'm in a different state of mind and you do the same thing I think, oh, of course Steve he's so stressed out right now. Right.  Yeah, that's right. So to me what I would say is it's an interesting how our negative thinking gets on our eyeballs and then over time that's what we start to see. Wait, wait, that's an interesting phrase. Our negative thinking gets in our eyeballs? It gets on our eyeballs. Like you're looking at through life like when you look at life you're seeing it through the filter of your own thinking. Like instead of rose colored glasses brown colored glasses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We would say that rose colored glasses is probably looking at life in a very positive healthy way. Right, yeah. Yeah, but if you're looking at it through brown colored glasses. Yeah, when you're seeing a lot of that in your life that's telling you about the quality of your own thinking. And so to change the way you think you have to learn how to relax. Well your thinking changes automatically. You don't have to do anything to it when your state of mind changes. And you change your state of mind just by being observant about how thought works. So if you start to understand that it's just a thought and not God speaking to you. That it's just a thought that you're creating and it's maybe true and it may not be true. It may be coming from fact and it may be made up. It's just a thought that you're having. It's not reality, it's just a thought. If you have a thought and it has a really bad feeling to it that's kind of a signal that the state of mind you're in may not be very good and you might want to calm yourself down before you stick your foot in your mouth. You just said something very interesting. It's just a thought. It's not God speaking through you. Is that part of the, what you call the three principles approach? The God thing? Oh no, I just meant that people frequently think they think something and it seems like it's true. It seems like it's real. It seems like somehow I have this thought and therefore it must be. It's truth with a capital T. That's right, yeah. I see, I see, okay. So it must take a while for people to change. Actually it doesn't take very long at all. It's much faster than most therapy that I've ever done before. Wow. And like people get better very quickly because they're not... But they've been thinking this one way their whole life. Right, but when you start to see how it works like when I learned this, I mean I went to a conference thinking that it would be a better place to meet men than bars. That was the only reason I went. Is that where you meet your husband? No, no. But this guy was talking about being positive and actually I found out he was single so I was thinking about lunch and I thought I should listen to him because I'd have to converse with him about it. And all of a sudden I got it. I just had this shift where I realized like, oh my gosh, I'm thinking this. That's why I'm feeling bad because I'm thinking all this stuff about myself, about life, about everything. No, wait. Which part of what you were thinking was bad? Oh, before I learned that. No, you said I'm thinking this. I'm thinking what? Well, I was very stressed out and I was very angry. I was kind of an angry feminist and so mostly men were the cause of everything in my world. I'm not? No, not anymore. Not anymore. Those were those days, yeah. I don't see it that way. But I really, it's like it looked like I was kind of the victim of the world and people were, things were happening to me and I was super stressed out and focused on negativity everywhere. My mother told me, I changed so much that my mother told me that if this could work for me it could work for anybody. Did it work for her? Yes, actually she came in. Thank you so much. She came in and learned it. Well, if you want to get your mother fixed called Christine Neath. And thank you for being another part of Shrink Rap Hawaii. Join us again next time and thank you Christine for coming on the show. Thank you. Bye-bye.

So sila ang bumabatikos sa mga membro ng Partido Nacionalista na tagapagsulong ng huwad na kalayaan. Ano ang dalawang kilusan na ito? Tapua sila bumatikos sa Partido Nacionalista na nagdadala o tagapagsulong ng huwad na kalayaan, pero pagdating ng mga hapon nag-ibasalan ng langdas. Yung isang kilusan lumaban sa mga hapon. Yung isang kilusan naman ay kumampi sa mga hapon. So ang tamang sagot ay yung kumampi sa mga hapon ang kilusan sangdan. Yung lumaban sa mga hapon ang Partido Comunista na Pilis.

Pumunta akong BGC kasi may sale. Hindi aso usap ang sale to. A pair of socks, okay, costing 100 pesos was on sale at a 10% discount. So 100 peso siya, 10% discount. If a 10% sales tax is applied to a discounted price, how much would a customer pay? Mukhang ikaw ay mahirimag-shopping. Okay, Jack. So 10% ng 100 ay writing 90 and then add 10% on 69. So 99 pesos. Okay, Jack. Thank you, Brof Maria. Brof L.D. Next question, please. Philippine theater and infrastructures.

What day was designated by UNESCO as the International Day of Mathematics? What point? I'd wager, I guess, March 14th for 3.14. Para magandang guess yan. Bakit nag-guess ka ng March 14th? For pi, pi day. Okay, so it comes from pi 3.14. 15, 9, 2, 6. So it's approximately 3.14. So pi day is 3.14. March 14th ginawan rin siyang International Day of Mathematics. Okay, check.

The session yesterday after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Trump he's not a target in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Those reports move in the market. Also telling the president he's not going to be looked at with regards to the inquiry into his personal attorney Michael Cohen. Let's bring in Melissa Armo of stockswush.com and Sean Cruz, Manager of Trader Strategy at TD Ameritrade. Guys, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. Good. This is the first time that the Mueller probe has actually had an impact on markets. How important was this news, do you think? Well, I think the markets are still lower, lower this morning. It had a little impact. We just kind of rallied into the close. Overall, that was surprising news, I'd say, for the market. Maybe that's why I did have any reaction at all. Because for the last year, since they've had this investigating going, everyone thought that Trump was a target. So the good news there, Sean. I mean, is that the reaction that you saw as well? Yeah, I think so. I think there's obviously a lot of headlines that are driving this market. A lot of it's been focused around tariffs lately. I think it's going to shift into earnings here as we make our way into earnings season. But certainly a lot of uncertainty around this probe has been something that's been a little bit of an overhang for markets. So it makes sense you'd see them get a little bit of a relief rally off that news. Yeah, it's interesting. All right. Glad you brought up earnings. I want to talk to both of you about general electric. I mean, obviously, this could be the manliest dog on the Dow. We're going to get the numbers this morning. Of course, I mean, the dividend's been lowered. They've divested so much of the business. Not a lot left to be, honestly, G capital. Kind of, you know, all those assets are gone. So Melissa, what are you expecting from GE? Because maybe at this point, 14 bucks to share. I've seen analyst reports the valuation is more like 10. Do you think there might be a buying opportunity today in GE? There's no way that I see this as a buying opportunity. Even if it gaps up unless it wants to double in price this morning and open and go up to 30 bucks a share. GE's in a strong, strong downtrend. GE looks horrible as far as the stock goes. It is so beaten up. It is dragging so many things down with it. It's not that it can never turn around, but do I think it turns around on one earnings report? Absolutely not. I don't see any ways to buy. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if it gaps down this morning and then the market continues to fall this morning, too. That's interesting. Sean, do you have the same take that Melissa does? I think they do have a lot of things that they need to work through. I'm really going to be looking into what happens with their power unit. I think right now some investors are maybe seeing this as a little bit of an opportunity to cautiously start accumulating a position in here, but I certainly don't think this stock is out of the woods yet. So I wouldn't go in buying with both hands here, but maybe start thinking about if this is starting to get to be an entry point. But it's certainly not a stock you want to try and pick the bottom in, because if you've been trying to pick the bottom in GE since it started pulling back to 26. A fall of a great American company, I got to tell you, at least from a stock perspective, real quick. Melissa Wells Fargo. Let's talk about this billion-dollar settlement on risk management. This coming down another hit for the bank. Forget the fake account scandal. This seems to be the biggest financial hit that they've taken. The hits just keep on coming for Wells Fargo. They had earnings a week ago last Friday. They gapped out on the earnings. They fell. I don't know what happens at the stock this morning. The pre-market, it's too early, but they probably have fallen this news, too. Another financial concern. But I tell you, the interesting thing is Trump is finding them. They're finding them, the Consumer Protection Agency, and they're finding them $1 billion. So this is a big, big sign for a bank. And banks have taken hit overall in the last week. They've gapped up even the good ones. Goldman on earnings earlier this week, and they fell. So all these banks are taking hits. And it's interesting to see what happens here going forward, because it's a sign that the times are going to find these banks that they don't do things right. Well, that's interesting. You're right. From the Trump administration, maybe that is a bit of a surprise. And I got to tell you, and proper charges to consumers in the mortgage and the auto lending business, mortgage lending is the bread and butter of Wells Fargo. Yeah, I think this is the name that if you're looking into the financial sector, you want to be cautious of. There's plenty of other names out there. If you do want exposure to financials, you can look at your Bank of America CD Group Goldman Sachs. You might want to look at one of those, but unless you're going to think about going into something like Wells Fargo that definitely has a lot of headwinds coming out. That's another one. Billion dollar headwind. Melissa, Sean, guys, thanks so much for getting up with us. Appreciate it. Thanks. Have a good day. You too. Coming up, would you buy a bottle of tequila from this guy?


Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com and I'm gonna talk to you about something that's a little bit different It's called memberships. So if your slant is doing a membership I've done a video on this before but I was also in my bedroom and I was on a webcam and So I and I talked to you about the memberships that I do at my salon But really I just want you to think about Memberships and but a lot of people have the question. How do I drive memberships? Or what do I do to to take the memberships or to accept memberships in my salon because a lot of You don't want to do it manually. You can't really do it by hand So I just want to let you guys know that using Millennium software. I they run my memberships So that was a big question for everyone if you're wondering you've never heard me talk about memberships before my salon does a membership program It's been very successful So what we do is we offer two different types of memberships for women The first one is a hundred and sixty dollars price that based on your area. Don't worry about You know whether that price works for you or not I know people that charge less people that charge more but what we do is we include your color your cut Both once a month and a blow dry every week and the great thing about this and I know you look at that a hundred and sixty dollars But it's 12 visits a year and we've worked on frequency of visit and a frequency of visit of 12 is my goal And at a hundred and sixty dollar average ticket per guest. That's a huge huge number at the end of the year It's a couple thousand dollars per guest. So and if you look at your your guest reports on your software Most guests are not spending much over two thousand dollars a year at your business and if they are that's great Good job. Those are not your membership people what membership people are maybe your new stylist You're trying to build them up have a cheaper price for memberships cater to those guests Offer weekly blow-dries because what that does is it gets people into your business buying take-home Trying out services and also makes their hair look good every week and if their hair looks good every week Then their friends are going to want the same thing.  We power those memberships using Millennium They run the EF or the electronic funds transfer every month for us. So it's just like a gym So our guests sign up we swipe their card and then every month that that comes out And no matter what even if the guest doesn't come in it still comes out So but it's not like a gym most people come and take advantage of it, but you know, that's it's such a successful thing I think as a four-chair salon. We've done Probably in the last year and a half over a hundred thousand dollars in memberships So it's a successful thing run it for your guys. We do $50 a month unlimited haircuts. So the great thing about that is even if a guy comes in every single week You have no work to do you're just cleaning them up keeping them the same and dusting them off And that's really what it's about is get that frequency of visit number up and you'll have a more successful salon business So check out memberships try it out do a smaller version if you want to just test it But help this tip helped you guys make sure you subscribe to us on YouTube follow us on hairbrained and Facebook at free salon education Com and we will see you on the next video. Thanks guys


Costa Rica here's the evidence we are here.  Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 357 on our circumnavigation around the globe. I'm motorcycle We're here in the town of Keebos in Costa Rica in this really comfortable air-conditioned room with a little kitchen And a super comfortable bed. I think we had like the best sleep here. Oh It was so nice. It was so nice. Yeah after the night before's stay with these like two little fans And it was so hot It was really nice to pretend that we aren't in somewhere that's incredibly hot But we already went out this morning to put a couple of bits on the bike and Sweating immediately I Think it's like more than 30 degrees already and it's only like nine in the morning But we have a super exciting day ahead of us today I don't have a map of Costa Rica yet We are gonna try and find one in the capital But I can tell you that we are heading to the Manuel Antonio National Park and this park is home to Sloths and monkeys and all kinds of awesome animals and it has an awesome beach And we can even swim in the ocean apparently this national park is so popular that we had to book us in online And our slot is reserved for 10 o'clock. It's already 930 and we still have to pick up a little bit so better hit the road. Let's go And to the oven. Yes I'm already sweating So it's about 20 minutes It's only five miles over to the Entrance to the national park and then we get to take off all our gear again And put our shorts and t-shirt on Looking forward to that Amazing I had no idea that we were like right next to the ocean incredible. That's awesome. Wow Yeah, keep us looks like an absolutely beautiful place. Just like a tropical Oceanside paradise. Yeah, I don't say yeah, but we are here to see sloths Monkeys and the last monkeys that we saw Were oh in Ecuador.  These microphones are very hard to get but these will be the first wild monkeys that will be seen I see a really Costa Rica's a paradise. I really got the ocean right there and then look at the size of these trees Wow, just look at the the amount of like vegetation here. It's beautiful So dense. They have just a nice dense forest. I mean look ahead like look at that Explosion absolutely incredible. So this is Manuel Antonio. Look at this the beach right off the street So we're just trying to find the closest parking we can find to the park and a secure place for bumblebee Yeah, I think it's probably yeah the park there or maybe even I mean what about this? Yeah, don't know How far is this one now? So the entrance is there Okay, the entrance is there. So this would be the closest but it also doesn't look like it's really secure No, it's really secure. Yeah, let's check out this place over there where there was somebody sitting Okay Okay Okay See you guys Find ourselves a parking which is apparently 250 meters according to this big sign from the park entrance Yeah Monkeys monkeys monkeys monkeys monkeys and sloths as well Oh We just had to eat our crackers and our chocolate already because you're not allowed any rubbish here in the park I think they are scared that people just leave the rubbish behind and littering So it looks actually pretty and straightforward. We are here we're going around to number two and then here along the beach number three four oh Five seems to be closed Okay, so we would skip number five and then go here to a six seven nine You don't want to go to eight Nine ten and then back looks like they've got it all worked out We're in Let the wildlife watching begin So apparently this vine here is used by the animals basically as a ladder because look A nature-made ladder It's our first bit of wildlife ahead. It's like a little deer and a baby We can see our first sloth up there in the tree He's round there. Can you see him? It looks just like a giant ball of fluff Can't see his face or anything. We can just see like his butt Anyway Sloth but to start our day Beautiful. We spotted a little iguana and you could just hear like the noise of the leaves It's just there So we've arrived at the beach. Oh, it's not a beach. It's paradise incredible.  So really hard to spot They're like 90% fluff and then there's just like this little face in there So it's kind of hard to see but He's up there. He's in the tree. Actually sloths spend like literally most of their lives up in the tree Like right at the top. They're just really coming down when they've got to go poop for some reason They come all the way down poop on the floor and then go all the way back up into the tree So unless you're lucky enough to catch a sloth pooping then This is the best view you'll get So we just got here to the cafe, but It's closed But there is a giant iguana just here. Look at this Beautiful animal look at that beautiful like colored spines on the back Wow Info time so the manual Antonio National Park was opened in 1972 and At just under 2,000 hectares. It's actually the smallest National Park in Costa Rica But it receives a hundred and fifty thousand visitors a year So it's incredibly popular, but it's popular for a good reason Forbes listed it as one of the 12 most beautiful national parks in the world and it's home to howler monkeys and squirrel monkeys and white-faced monkeys and Sloths two species of sloths apparently two toad sloths and three toad sloths though From the vantage point we have it's very hard to tell the difference It's also home to caiman and crocodiles and iguanas and all kinds of little lizards. We just heard some howler monkeys It's almost just like this sort of like Ghostly echo through the forest and the howler monkey actually has one of the loudest sounds that any animal can make And it can be like heard for miles around in the forest. It's super impressive Hey, like you Listen listen I think we're getting closer to the howler monkey Somewhere up in this tree right here, but this tree is so massive. It's really hard to see him. Yes. We are here. We're waiting for you We just about saw him moving But I couldn't focus the camera. It's too many branches in the way So my shot is terrible No But he's up there at the top of that tree and he's loud Coming to the last trail at the edge of the National Park and starting to get hilly And he's very very very hot to be climbing hills. I can tell you that My t-shirt is drenched. We'll be definitely ready for a swim After this Well on this last bit We are really climbing a mountain Jesus, let's hope we get a nice view at the top. There we go top of the hill You can actually see like the the whole peninsula, right? Nice Just spotted this little twokin in the trees. Oh, he's flying away. We have an agouti in front of us He's eating a nice fruit No, we just met this whole troop of monkeys and they're so incredibly cute That's the life a good life. I Just want to lay on a branch and have you pick insects off my back We're back at the beach And now it is most definitely time to go for a little dip Before we leave manual Antonio Park Bring in the Pacific Costa Rica done Mmm We just got out the door and the first thing the woman's like fresh coconuts and we're like, yes, please Costa Rica, here's the evidence. We are here. Thank you for looking after bumblebee Thank you. All right, perfect. Thank you. See you Nice Paradise Most beautiful place in the world. Yeah, well, it's three o'clock now So we spent like five hours inside the manual Antonio National Park and we could spot a lot of wildlife as well Yeah, it was like a super successful visit. Oh, wow.  Hey, no wonder Forbes put it on the list of the 12 most beautiful national parks in the world because that's like It's just a paradise, especially with those beaches as well. Oh my god, you know, when we came to Costa Rica I was hoping that we could see just like this explosion this abundance of wildlife and well Manual Antonio absolutely delivered. That was just a mind-blowing amount of wildlife around that was beautiful Beautiful absolutely beautiful We are pushing Sunset now it's a bit tight for time because it's three o'clock now Sunsets in two hours and 45 minutes. Yeah, and it's supposed to be like three hours and 15 minutes to San Jose Yes, 105 miles. We have arranged with the lady from Facebook marketplace to pick up our GoPro today So actually the guy from the 360 camera. He just deleted the post and this GoPro was gone so we contacted another girl and she has the GoPro 8 and It's a little bit cheaper as well. So we said yes By this one since we don't do a lot of 360 videos anymore The GoPro 360 was actually released at the same year as the GoPro hero 8 So in theory we should kind of retain the same video quality With the aid it should be like almost the same class. We couldn't afford to get a better one So I think it's costing 130 pounds. Yeah, 130 pounds. Yeah, yeah, which is not too bad Considering that the newest GoPro is retailing at nearly 500 pounds. Yeah, so, you know a couple of models back Hopefully it'll be good enough quality We also haven't really had anything proper to eat to be honest because we had some crackers and cookies before we Get went in the park and then we just had some crackers and cookies where we got out the park because all the food here in Manuel Antonio is way too expensive for us Yeah, unfortunately So we are gonna just see what we can find on the way to San Jose Yeah, yeah, we have a long way to go and it's very likely that we'll be arriving there in the dark At least it's cooler in the dark. That's true So we were trying to find Somewhere that we could stop and have like a late late late lunch on our way to San Jose But after looking online looking at some of the prices Wow, we stopped at the supermarket Got a loaf of bread Got some slices of cheese and Combine that and some beautiful marmite and you put yourself a lovely sandwich Hey, when you have marmite, you're not just surviving thriving So it's already five o'clock We just routed ourselves to a possible Airbnb in San Jose And it's still going to be another hour and a half before we get there and sunset is in 45 minutes So unfortunately today looks like a day that we will definitely be riding in the dark. They say sunset is at 545 Yeah, because we've gone back an hour from Panama to Costa Rica. So 545 Really crazy. It's really early too early for my liking but after like five hours walking in the National Park I'm already pretty tired. So by the time we go there. I think I'm gonna sleep really really really well I think so too. Anyway 57 miles to ride. Let's do it Later that same evening. So we decided to abandon San Jose for today Yeah, because actually the lady with the GoPro she never replied to my message So we didn't want to drive there like in the dark and then arriving there And she's not available Yeah, and we've got really no reason to go into San Jose Other than picking up that GoPro. So I don't know if we hear from her tomorrow We'll swing by and go in tomorrow. Yeah, otherwise I checked on Ioverlander and apparently here are some cabins for 10,000 which is about 15 pounds. So this town is called Orotina and we are about 35 miles out of San Jose The place where we are trying to stay is called Cabinas Veracal There's cabins. I can see a sign. Yeah, cabins. Yeah. Cabinas.
