Hey y'all, welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me. Today I want to talk to you about endometriosis and hysterectomy. And I have two stories to share with you and one happened when I was 28 years old and I had gone to work for this company and I got a new administrative assistant and when I first started working there she actually had just had a hysterectomy because of endometriosis. She had a really bad it was all of her abdomen covered all of her female organs and it was what she said just excruciating pain was a terrible experience and she had to get up complete and total hysterectomy. Every organ, the ovaries, the uterus, the cervix, everything is gone. And so one thing that I observed about her back then and I was 28 years old so I didn't have the wisdom that I have now at 45 but looking back I can tell that she was really angry and bitter. I don't know if she was angry and bitter because she got a hysterectomy or if she was angry and bitter and that's what caused her endometriosis. I'm not sure what her situation was but I do know that female health issues can have a spiritual root to them.  But that was one thing that I observed about her and I don't know that she felt better. I wasn't close enough to her and I didn't work with her long enough to be able to decipher whether or not she got angry or bitter because of the hysterectomy. All I know is that she was never she never seemed to write like like normal but I don't know how I didn't have much to compare it to because I didn't know her before she got a hysterectomy I just know that she just wasn't she didn't seem right. The second person that I know that got a hysterectomy because of endometriosis was a woman who was strong in her faith she is strong in her faith and she said to me that she wished she had never done it it was the worst decision that she had ever made in her life and I didn't know her well enough to start asking questions as to well why did you feel like it was the worst decision that you ever made in your life. I don't I didn't know her at the time well enough to be able to ask those deep questions to get more information for you. All I know is that she had to get the hysterectomy because she was eaten up with endometriosis and she not only was eaten up with endometriosis but she got rid of everything like they took everything they took her cervix her uterus her ovaries they took everything and she wasn't okay with it and so I hear so many women say just take it out I'm sick of the bleeding I'm sick of this I just want to get rid of it and they don't do any research and they just do it for whatever reason whether it's fibroids PCOS endometriosis ovariances they just do a cancer they just do it they just take it out and they don't know what the consequences are and the only reason I'm making this video is I'm not saying you should or you shouldn't get a hysterectomy but what I am saying is evaluate your options before you make the decision and doctors will often say the only option you have is a hysterectomy because that is what they actually told me and it wasn't ended up not being true because I have my female reproductive system I still have it it's intact and let me tell you I was sick and if you've watched any of my other videos explaining some of those things and if you have you have if you have the fibroid detox e-course you hear my story in there if you have been on the foods to avoid the shrink fibroid tumors webinar you've heard some of my story on there so like I'm not coming from a place where I wasn't really sick I was like the doctors were like you need to sign into the hospital today to get this done there's no time for you to be thinking about it that's how serious my problem was so I'm not speaking flippantly on this all I know is that every woman who gets a hysterectomy is not okay on the other side of it it is worth looking at the natural route and at least trying it to see if you can make some progress before you make that huge leap as a matter of fact I was at a networking event maybe about a month ago and this woman was like you know well when you go to a networking group depending on how the networking group is set up you can give you a little elevator speech and I gave my elevator speech about what I do how I help women who um have female related issues and help them heal naturally from fibroids ovariances pcs endometriosis etc so I said my little uh elevator speech and the woman one of the women were there and she said I got a hysterectomy and it was the best thing I ever did I was like well great but one thing she said that most people will say she said I didn't know that there were any other options if I had known there were any other options I would have tried the natural route first and if it didn't work then I would have gotten a hysterectomy she didn't even get presented with the option so that's that's all I'm trying to say here I'm not bashing hysterectomies or anything like that although I believe that we need all of our organs and we should be able to keep all of our organs and that we should not have to get them cut out um because it isn't necessary because I believe that it is possible to heal naturally and there are so many testimonies about women who have healed naturally and even if they don't completely get rid of the problem there is a way to lessen those symptoms so that they're not living in agony every day of their life so that's all I'm saying here there are other options you don't have to live um with thinking that you have to get a hysterectomy because for me thinking about a hysterectomy was like it was like losing part of my femininity like you know when your hair falls out and you start to get like bald spots and you you touch your hair and like in your hand you got like a handful of hair in your hands you know stuff like that like it takes away feeling like a woman that's how it felt for me to think about even anything remotely close to getting a hysterectomy that's how I felt and I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who are struggling with that decision but there are also some women who are just kind of like oh it's no big deal go ahead and get it it's no problem and that's not always the case for every woman it's just not some women need to get a hysterectomy but most women don't and I think that doctors today they just prescribe that hysterectomy for everybody who has a fibroid everybody who has you know a female health issue and they're past like when they want to have children and all that stuff and they say you either need to get a myomectomy or you know this surgery or that surgery or a hysterectomy and it's not the answer because it doesn't answer the root cause of the problem you've got to address the root cause of the problem which is estrogen dominance that's one part of the root and other stuff is the emotional part of why you got the fibroids in the first place why did your body develop the fibroids so anyway I saw I wanted to say I hope you all are doing well if you have questions about endometriosis or any other type of female related issue please put them below I'll be glad to answer them if you don't hear back from me it's because I didn't see the message I didn't because I answer every message that I see so I just wanted to tell you that anyway I'll talk to you all soon take care

Section 7 of New Discoveries at Jamestown. Travel During the 17th century, travel in Virginia was mainly by boat. As the roads leading from Jamestown to the nearby settlements were usually in deplorable condition, especially after heavy rains, the settlers preferred to travel by water whenever possible. As the colony grew and roads were improved somewhat, travel by horse became more common, especially for short trips. After 1650 the use of wagons increased, and records indicate that a few of the more prosperous planters imported fine carriages from England. Boats and Ships Boats used by the settlers varied in size from small flat bottom boats to fairly large sailing vessels and included such types as small rowboats, penises, barks, bylanders, schooners, catches, and sloops. Living on a river and in a tide-water area of innumerable creeks, bays, and rivers, practically all of the colonists were familiar with handling boats of one type or another. However, only a few objects relating to boats and ships had been unearthed at Jamestown, small anchors, chains, oorlocks, ship's bolts and spikes, and tools used by shipwrights and ship's carpenters. Illustration Caption Some bits and bridal ornaments in the Jamestown collection. The artistic designs of many bridal bosses are symbolic of beautiful handiwork performed by craftsmen of a bygone day. End of Caption Horses, Wagons, and Carriages The first English-built road in America, in use by 1608, ran one mile from Jamestown Island to Glasshouse Point. Later, as the colony grew, the road was extended to Governor Berkeley's plantation about four miles from Jamestown and other nearby settlements. There is some evidence that it was known as the Old Road, or Great Road. Illustration Caption 17th century spur and stirrup excavated at Jamestown. End of Caption Illustration Caption This branding iron was used by one of the colonists during the early days of the settlement. End of Caption As early as 1609, six mares and two horses were brought to Jamestown. In 1611, 17 horses and mares arrived, and in 1614, Captain Samuel Argall brought several more. Six years later in 1620, 20 horses were shipped from England. It is most surprising, therefore, that the census of 1625 recorded only one horse for the entire colony. By 1649, however, it was estimated that there were 300 horses in Virginia, and most of the successful farmers and wealthy planters owned them after 1650. During the following years, the number of horses increased greatly. Many well-preserved metal objects relating to horse equipment and riding gear have been unearthed. Bits and bridal ornaments Most bits are of the snaffle variety, although a few curb bits have been recovered. In those days, many bits had brass bosses attached to their cheekbars, and many of these attractive ornaments have been unearthed. Some bosses are decorated with raised designs, while others are plain. The majority are made of brass, although a few iron bosses have been excavated. Spurs and stirrups A few complete spurs have been excavated. While the majority are plain iron, some brass spurs in the collection are decorated with very attractive, incised or embossed designs. Two or three of the highly decorated brass spurs are probably of Spanish origin. One of them, in excellent condition, was found near an early brick kiln. Illustration caption Rod-iron horseshoes and curry-combs used prior to 1650. End of caption Illustration caption Settlers trading with the Indians, bartering casting counters and other trade goods for furs. Conjectural sketch by Sidney E. King. End of caption All stirrups unearthed are made of rod-iron. Some of the steps or stirrup bars are solid, while others have a single slot. Horse shoes and curry-combs Horse shoes found vary considerably in size, although the majority are relatively small. Many shoes have both toe and heel cocks, and in most examples the cocks are well worn. The many small shoes that have been excavated may indicate that the horses used in Virginia three centuries ago were much smaller than the 20th century breeds. All curry-combs found are hand-wrought, and many have pleasing designs on the backs formed by the curved iron strips which extend from the handle-prong to the back of the comb. Branding irons Parts of several branding irons were found, including a complete example with initials TR. Wagon and carriage parts Archaeologists unearth only a few metal parts from wagons and carriages. Reminders of a day when horses and oxen were indispensable animals in the Virginia settlements. Trade Some interesting objects recovered at Jamestown relate to early trade. These include items used in trade with the Indians, as well as an excellent assortment of lead bale clips. These clips are decorated discs which are often attached to bales of goods, especially woollen cloth imported from England. One object, the heaviest on earth at Jamestown, relates indirectly to trade. It is a 1300-pound iron pile driver which was once used to build wharfs and piers. Indian trade One reason why the colonists selected a site for Jamestown some miles up the James River was to develop the Indian trade over an extensive area. During the early years of the colony trade with the natives was encouraged. It is clear from the early records that the settlers bartered such items as beads, cloth, penny knives, shears, bells, glass toys, whistles, hatchets, pots and pans, brass casting counters, and similar objects in exchange for Indian corn and other vegetables, fish, game, fruits and berries, and furs. Many examples of English trade goods used for bartering with the Indians have been found on the island, but these can be described only briefly. Beads The majority of glass beads were shipped from England, although some may have been made in Italy, probably in Venice. As no glass beads were found at or near the site of the glass factory, it is doubtful whether any were made there. Most beads in the collection are round or oval, a few are cylindrical having been cut from colored glass rods. All beads excavated are of one or more colors, with the exception of two or three that are colorless. After three centuries the attractive colors still persist, and looking at the colorful beads today you can understand the charm they held for the Indians. Knives Small, inexpensive knives called penny knives were often used for trading purposes during the years at Jamestown. A few folding knives and blade fragments, which may also have been penny knives, have been recovered. Shears Several shears and scissors highly prized by the Indians were found on the island. A few are almost complete. Bells Brass and iron bells of types which were used for bartering with the Indians have been excavated. A few days after the colonists reached Jamestown, one of them recorded that, quote, Our captain presented to an Indian chief gifts of diverse sorts, as penny knives, shears, bells, beads, glass toys, etc., more amply than before, end of quote. Illustration Caption Brass-cast encounters excavated on Jamestown Island. Many were made in Germany before 1575 for use by merchants on counting boards. In the New World they were used for the Indian trade, end of caption. Illustration Caption A few objects unearthed at Jamestown which were used for trading with the Indians shown are glass beads, scissors, iron knives, a hatchet, and bell fragments, end of caption. Hatchets Many fine specimens of hand wrought hatchets have been found. These were valuable items during the early years of the settlement and much sought after by the Indians so that a large number were used in trading with them. But hatchets were used primarily by the carpenter, cooper, and other artisans. Pots and pans A pot or pan made of brass or copper was almost worth its weight in gold for trading purposes. A few complete examples, together with numerous fragments, have been recovered. Brass-casting counters or jet-ons Most of these thin brass tokens or counters, similar in appearance to coins, were made in Germany during the second half of the sixteenth century. In Europe they were used on counting boards for making mathematical calculations but in the New World it is believed that they were used in the Indian trade. Approximately a dozen have been found at Jamestown. Three were also found on Roanoke Island, site of Raleigh's ill-fated Lost Colony, and one was recovered in an Indian shell mound near Cape Hatteras, not too distant from Croatand Island, known today as Ocracoke Island. Many of the counters in the Jamestown collection were made by Hans Schuldis and Hans Laufler of Nuremberg, who manufactured such jet-ons between 1550 and 1574, at which time Nuremberg was a center for the making of casting counters. Some of the counters have holes punched through them, indicating that the Indians may have worn them around their necks like pendants, suspended from leather thongs. Miscellaneous items Other objects which the English used in trade with the Indians were colored cloth, glass toys, and whistles, but no examples of these have been recovered during archaeological explorations. Illustration caption A wharf scene A rival of a ship from the mother country Conjectural sketch by Sidney E. King English and Foreign Trade During the 17th century, active trade was carried on between the Virginia Colony and the mother country. Local commodities of timber, wood products, soap ashes, iron ore, tobacco, pitch, tar, furs, minerals, salt, sassafras, and other New World raw materials were shipped to England. In exchange, English merchants sold to the colonists tools, farm implements, seeds, stock and poultry, furniture and household accessories, clothing, weapons, hardware, kitchen utensils, pottery, metalware, glassware and certain foods and drinks. There is also good evidence that some trade was carried on with Holland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico and the West Indies. Many artifacts on earth, especially pottery, were made in the countries mentioned. It is believed that certain commodities were acquired by direct trade with the country where made in spite of the strict laws by which the colonial powers sought to monopolize the colonial trade for the benefit of the mother country. Lead Bale Clips A series of decorated leg clips which relate to 17th century trade have been found at several places on Jamestown Island. As their name implies, these lead clips or seals were attached to bales of English goods, usually woolen cloth, to attest that the goods were of an approved quality and length and of a given amount. Each clip usually consisted of two discs connected by a narrow band, and when used for marking cloth the name or initials of the maker of the material was often incised on one of the discs. The clips too were often embossed with a decorative device such as a coat of arms, crest, crown, name or initials of a king, numerals, king's head, royal arms, animal or flower. Over a dozen of these small leg clips have been unearthed and serve as reminders of a past day when majestic English merchant sailed to Jamestown laden with bales of goods from the mother country. Illustration Caption Lead Bale Clips used for sealing bales of woolen cloth and other goods. Once a clip had been attached to a bale it attested that the goods were of an approved quality and length or amount. End of Caption Illustration Caption This 1300-pound iron pile driver used for driving piles in the building of small wharves was found at Jamestown. End of Caption Illustration Caption Building a wharf about 1650, conjectural sketch by Sidney E. King. End of Caption Peers and Wharfs In order to accommodate such large sailing vessels, Peers and Wharfs had to be built at Jamestown. A 1300-pound iron pile driver was found in the basement of a 17th-century building in 1955. It was probably used three centuries ago for driving piles in the James River during construction of a small wharf. Worshiping The Jamestown colonists were, for the most part, religious and God-fearing people. The majority were members of the Church of England. One of the first settlers, the Reverend Robert Hunt, was an ordained minister of that church. Whenever possible, services were held every morning and evening and sermons delivered twice on Sundays. A few ornamental brass book clasps, excavated near Jamestown, may have been used on early Bibles and prayer books. Under the care of Bruton Parish Episcopal Church in Williamsburg are four pieces of Communion Silver which were used in the church at Jamestown. Two pieces, an exquisite chalice and pattern, were donated to the Jamestown Church by Lieutenant Governor Francis Morrison, or Maury's son, in 1661. Inscribed on both is the legend, mixed not holy things with profane. A second pattern, made in London in 1691-92, was given to the Jamestown Church by Governor Edmund Andros in 1694. Another pattern, or a collection plate, also made in London, bears the inscription, for the use of James City Parish Church. Illustration Caption Decorated brass book clasps found near Jamestown, which may have been used on an early Bible or prayer book. End of Caption The officials of the Virginia Company of London admonishing the first settlers to serve and fear God in order to plant a successful and prosperous colony, advised, Lastly and chiefly the way to prosper and achieve good success is to make yourselves all of one mind for the good of your country and your own, and to serve and fear God the giver of all goodness, for every plantation which our Heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out. Seemingly the advice was carried out, for from the small settlement on a tiny island in the James River grew a great and mighty nation. Illustration Caption Communion Silver used in the Jamestown Church after 1661. Both the Chalice and Patton were made in London and donated to the church by Lieutenant Governor Francis Morrison, or Maury's son, in 1661. On both pieces is the legend, Mixed Not, Holy Things with Profane. End of Caption End of Book


We're going to have some logistics to start us off with here before we get into this evening's program. That's the mic you're going to use over there? Translator. Translator? Yeah. Okay, very good. You want the mic for yourself? Yes. Translate for me. What David just said. La Bel has done a great job as a writer. I don't know what to say. La Bel has done a great job as a writer. Welcome. Bienvenidos. The festival of Viva la Vida Retreat. Bienvenidos a los platinos. It's all Spanish. She's going easy on the first line. Yeah, it was felt that we were going to have the logistics first because it can put the mind at rest around how things work here. En el sentido que sería mejor poner un asunto de logística primero para así poder viajar a realmente descansar. And I think I've met everybody here. I am the steward at La Casa de Milagros, originally from the United States. Creo que me he encontrado con todos los mundos que está aquí. Estos son helades encargadas por la Casa de Milagros y son de Estados Unidos. And we have about 15 people signed up for the retreat and about half of you are coming in every day. So some of the things I might go over will only be applied to the ones that are staying the nights here over the weekend. One thing that I've told many of you is that the ones that live here, we live quite devotional lives. And you come in here to this retreat as an invitation to join us in that vibe. Just some general logistics. There's a public bathroom just right up at the little pathway here. And all of you should have received an agenda for the weekend and we just ask that you arrive to the sessions on time. For those of you that are staying in the evening, we will have a quiet time in the area beginning at 10 p.m. We have many people that are spending the night there. We won't have lights out at 11 p.m. in the rooms. If you find that you can't sleep, you're just awake and you need some space. You're welcome to come here into the halo room. And then in the morning, we ask that it just be more or less a quiet time for all of us until the first session at 9 a.m. And there was a request about the people coming in from off-site if they could attend the meditation in the morning. And I guess that would be fine if they could arrive by 8.05. That's the Abby's area, so I had to go up there. As far as the 9 a.m. joining in the morning, we're going to have two expression sessions. One for English speakers, which will be here in the halo room at 9 a.m. in the morning. And one for the Spanish speaking people, which will be in the library, which is located right next to the outdoor dining room, dining area. Jopala is a beautiful little town. And for those of you that would like to go and walk around, it's very safe. We do lock the door at 10 p.m. at night just so you have that in your awareness. As far as showers, you can take any time between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. at night. As far as the different sessions that we have during the day, Andy will be gonging the gong once for sessions and twice for meals. Many of the people that are coming in just for the day sessions will be going out to eat. So we'll be ending a session, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the lunch is ready by then. It is when the gong is being that lunch is ready. And we do serve the meals in the casita kitchen. Many of you have already been through there. It's a buffet style, and then you can either eat breakfast in the casita in the morning or out in the outdoor dining area. Tomorrow we'll have lunch together and we'll be eating in the outside dining area. And then for dinner we'll just be setting out food in the kitchen so it won't be a sit down together meal. We'll have a table in the casita dining room through the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with coffee, hot water, and refreshments for our people. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. we'll have a table in the casita with coffee, hot water, and refreshments for our people. And our clean up crew in the kitchen asks that when you finish with your dishes that you put them next to the sink and they'll take care of them from there. I just want to encourage you to feel free to ask the questions if there's anything that you're not sure about. It just interests the mind when you can have your questions answered. Thank you very much. Thank you. Just a reminder too if you have cell phones please turn it off during the sessions. And also too just for those that are staying on site we have a limited Wi-Fi access here so there will not be Wi-Fi access for participants. Thank you. There is a question about one-on-one, like a counselling session or meeting? So we could get a list and then if you would like a one-on-one meeting that could be on a donation basis? Just on a love offering from what you feel together and then Laverne could have that list. If they're interested in a one-on-one they could let me know. And Jason has said yes, he is available. Yes and I may be available. And then if we're around and we happen to be there of course you can speak freely to us. We don't have to wait to come on your name. This is more for if you really feel something on your heart and you would like someone on one time to explore it and go deeper. But I would encourage you if you feel comfortable to bring your heartfelt question here. Because it will be a blessing for everyone and your question no doubt will be the very question on someone else's heart. And that would be a blessing for everyone and your question no doubt will be the very question on someone else's heart. Do you have any other questions, logistical questions? I'm expecting a call around 9 o'clock about my baggage, so can I leave my phone on? Do you know if I break? Put it inside my break, would you mind? Okay, I've said that before. I asked the question because you can't leave your phone on because you're waiting for a call about a baggage that has been lost. Your luggage is on the way here, from Europe. Okay, I just wanted to start too with a big warm welcome, so grateful to see you and if you've come to be with us this weekend. Yes, it's interesting, we have a long 4th of July weekend and we have a celebration, but we're not planning any fireworks or any independence, but we're going to have a lot of fun. It's Canada's Independence Day today. Jason has reminded me that today is Canada's Independence Day as well. So that has identified all of the Canadians with one swoop. Your hand up to you. I don't believe in independence, or Canada. But, yeah, this will be a very friendly weekend in which, as Kurt said, you can ask any question that comes to your mind. For us, this is just our way of life, the spirit is very practical. So we're not just here for theory or philosophy or for speculation. And also, you should just stay present to what feels most helpful in your mind. If you feel to go to the banjo, then please get up and go, don't hesitate. So although we will cover many things, this is not really a presentation, it's just a warm presence of welcome. For me, I think the teachings of Jesus are extremely simple and they just seem to be difficult to put into practice. So we have been told not to judge and we have been asked because the Holy Spirit judged for us. And so I feel there will be much healing as you relax and settle and learn to trust in a very deep way. That's the greatest gift your mind can have is a state of simple contentment. But we also know that your journeys in this world have been very complex. So that we pray that the Holy Spirit come through and meet the ego's complexity with very simple direct answers. And it takes so much trust just to watch the world and be a passerby. Because the temptation is that there's something to fix or something to change. When in actuality everything is working together for the good, always. There's no mistakes. We have to be guided to be able to see the world in that way. And so this first evening is really our opportunity to listen to you and listen to why you have come here. It is a way of putting your prayer up to the Holy Spirit. To make things very simple and restful. So I'll just start off by introducing myself. I'm David. I have nothing more to say. I'm Kirsten and I have something to say. Yeah, again I want to echo what David has said and to welcome you. And my prayer is that you feel very at home. And that you can just allow yourself to relax and settle. Because I think so much of this journey is about accepting God's will for us. And that is to know our own innocence. So it's very much about letting go of what we think. Where we need to get to. So I feel very grateful that I have received so much support on this journey. These constant refictions of love saying your innocence just relax. Your willingness is enough. You are devoted. Trust. Trust in your devotion. So I feel that I've just had a couple of conversations with some that have arrived in the last two days. And they have shared with me that they keep hearing the egos voiced in their mind saying you're not good enough, you're not getting it. And so I feel this weekend is an opportunity to really shine the light on that doubtful voice. And to offer a lot of support for seeing the egos, patterns or the ways that it seems to limit us from knowing who we are. Because when we let go of these limits that's when we can really realize our inspiration. It's about removing the obstacles to the awareness of love's presence. So together we can become aware of what the obstacles are. And in an atmosphere like this where we're practicing forgiveness and we can see each other's innocence, it's very safe. So I'm very honored to join with you for this weekend. And to be a witness to your innocence. And to help cut through any areas that seem complicated or cloudy. Because the spirit is very clear. Spirit doesn't have any confusion. So when we join together, wanting clarity, it always comes. And that's when our mind lights up in recognition. Enlightenment. So here, thank you. I'm just very, very grateful that you're here. But I'm here with you. Hello. I'm Jason. And I too am very glad you're here. And I feel the same as David and Kersen. Just I pray that you feel safe. And I would love to join with you on a one-on-one sometimes weekend. And now I'd like to pass it back to you. Just to share again what it is on your heart and why you feel you've come. So that the spirit can take that prayer and use it this weekend. I'm here to translate. I'm here to see if my mind can heal. And I'm also here to have a moment of joy. Very nice, isn't it? No, but nothing more to say. Good night. Sanctically, pass it on. Thank you. Thank you. Sincerely, well, I don't know what we're going to receive here in a while. We arrived two days ago. It was the first great tanguy in the community. Well, I and I are meant to spend a time here. And these treaties are great dives into community life. And what I would like to say is that I want to check that I'm really innocent, free and happy, as stated in the letter. I have it more clearly every day, but I want to check it here. I want to check that I'm innocent, free and happy. I'm here to face whatever is not that innocent. And he, could you show your names too? He is Juan and I am Guadalajara. He is from Spain and I am from France. I'm a great team. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here. I thought I wouldn't be able to come. But the Holy Spirit arranged everything. I feel that the sensing very important for me in my awakening is waiting for me here. I feel that the sensing very important for me in my awakening is waiting for me here. The sensing is a lot of sense that I can match to make possible my being as I am only the spirit of the culture. Right now, with what you said, you are a great mirror and we can see ourselves in a mirror where you are putting all of us. And opening up my mind to receive whatever the Holy Spirit wants to give me to see you. Thank you. My name is Sonia. Hola a todos. Mi nombre es que fui Octavio. My name is Jesús Octavio. Hola David. Hi David. Hace 3 años empezamos juntos, invitaste y he estado vivo 3 años. 3 years ago, we started together. You invited me and we had been with you 3 years, 3 years. Navegando y aprendiendo. Sailing and learning. Quisten. Aquí estoy, quisten. Here I am. La corretira se ven y hoy hemos estado juntos. We have been through so many good deeds and we have been together. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes, son. Es un privilegio para mí. This is our first time working together. Es un privilegio para mí. Poder mirar Sus ojos. Tengo que hablar porque estoy aquí. Pero, sucede que veo con más claridad ahora. It happens that I see more clearly now. El rasgo más suerte de lo que llaman la personalidad. The strongest trait of what is called personality. En 77 años que tengo vida, in my 77 years, ha sido ser pretender ser el número uno. You try to be number one. Cuando yo era niño, me enseñaron conformía después en mi casa, mi maestro, en el ciclo donde yo me movía. Me los echaron de todo mi home, my kitchen, the environment where I was living. Era la importancia de ser el número uno en todos. The importance of being number one in everything. Me lo decía, no sé, cuando a veces salía. I don't know how many times I was told that very late. Yo nunca me imaginé el impacto tan fuerte que iba a provocar esa idea en mi mente. I had to imagine strong impact. La creencia de que soy el número uno en todo lo que hago. I'm number one in anything I do. En escuela. En las notas que me daban en la escuela. In my marks of the school. In school grades. En las actividades que hacía el deporte. In my sports activities. En las conversaciones con mis compañeros. In the talk with my fellow students. En todo, en todo yo quería ser el número uno. I wanted to be number one in everything, everything. Yo no me do cuenta del peso tan fuerte que ha sido eso en mi vida. Now I realize how heavy that has been in my life. Porque si tengo que platicar o enseñar o simplemente conversar con mis amigos. Because if I had to talk or teach or just talk. Me he dado cuenta que no creo en ellos que hay una crítica constante de mi país. I realize I don't believe in them that there is a constant criticism for me. Hablo con ellos pero estoy culturando constantemente. I'm talking to them but I'm permanently judging them. Hací suceder en mi casa con mi pareja. Con mis hijos. Con los compañeros de oficina que tuve ahora estoy retirado pero todos los compañeros de oficina. Y la lucha poco fuerte. Entonces mi semblante, el gorrillo, es un semblante triste. Me he encontrado en la calle a gente que me dice ¿Por qué estás tan serio? People in the street are telling me I had to be also serious. And it's hard to read, it's just crazy. My answer was why are they passing me? And in that very moment I saw the reflection of my face. Porque quiero, a pesar de ser como soy I'm here because in spite of being the way I am I want to be happy. I want to look at you. It's as if it was something that said to me I said I want to be happy, I'm innocent but why am I doing this? How do I make you happy? How do I do it? I want to be happy and I have those spasms happy with those spasms. I know I'm not a body. I know my spirit is light, is love. Pero tengo que ser capaz de aprender a ser feliz primero I must be able to learn to be happy first. Quiero ser feliz. I want to be happy. I want to be. I know, I must do the change. My comfort, the comfort I'm receiving is go to there with it and get with it. Don't hide any shadow. Pero tengo que dar el brinco a la acción Tengo que dar el brinco a permitir que la luz me nube. But I'm the most jumped into action I'm the most allowed to do the right food. Like me. The quantum jump. Quantum, quantum, quantum love. That's my reason to be here and I'm grateful to you for the reasons to understand. I'm the most forgetful, I'm the most forgetful. Thank you for mentioning that. My name is Alicia. I think that I can go for one bit of everything. From what I'm all, we're all. From what I'm all, I'm all.  I came here to discover myself. And I came here to serve myself and to discover who I am. In the mind, in the love of God, in the life of God, in the friendship, in the kindness, in kindness, in kindness. And just a few days ago, I discovered that I'm really abundant. Because it is my being that comes to me just in the right time when I need it. When I learned about this orchard, I told God because He said, if you want me to go, I will. Thank you, thank you for receiving me. I'd like to thank you David, you and your colleagues, for putting us on this conference and sending me your compounds of the community extension you do throughout. So thank you. My name is Dan. My wife and I just flew in from Colorado, exactly in there. I am here to practice. Goinka is a Bapasana meditation teacher that says, I practice because when I lose my balance, I want to fall like a cat and not have two like four. When I was in a seat, you were coding? Goinka, Goinka Bapasana's a meditation teacher. In my store, in the water, I want to practice there. He wants to learn to fall gently. He wants to fall gently. He wants to learn to fall gently. Cristina, what you said, letting go where we want to be and to trust the devotion. Here's why I'm here. There's John and I truly believe in divine design and we were led here to the cameras. What I feel now is this is a place to... Give him a moment to check. Oh. I believe in divine design. We were led here in no expectations. And now I feel that this is a place I feel your heart can be opened and allows a love to flow. I feel that. Thank you. Hi, my name is Deborah. I'm here with my husband, John. Hola, mi nombre es Deborah y estoy aquí con mi marido, John. And we've lived in Ahiheek, the town next door for the last year. Y nos hundimos en Ahiheek, la ciudad de Alado, durante el año. And we've enjoyed a wonderful spiritual community, both there and have been able to join here a number of times. So we have a nice relationship with Casa de Moabra. And when we heard that David would be here for a short time and an opportunity to see Jason again, I did something that Kirsten has taught us to do, pray, listen, follow. I did that, and I listened, and it said I should come and that's why I'm here. I know I'll find out why I'm here So we can, I'm called, but very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here, and I know that you will be here for a long time. I am John. I am John. Welcome, and it's so wonderful to be here with all of our new friends. And David, Jason, Kirsten, and everyone. Thank you so much for being here, putting this on. It's just amazing. Muchas gracias a todos. That's what they call full inclusion. I'm here to remove any blocks from love. So that I can return to God. Who we never left. So this is our devonized plan. This is the last time on this planet. So we're working really hard to get there. So we need all your help. Thank you. No, I'm clear. I was not expecting to speak so much. I'm clear. I don't like to speak in public. I don't like to speak in public. So I'm a little stressed out. I live here since six months. I don't know, I feel like... I feel that this life will bring me here for a new who I am. I don't know, I feel a little... I feel a little stressed out. I'm not a little stressed out. I don't know, I feel a little stressed out. I don't like to speak in public. I don't like to speak in public. Why? Why do you want to speak in public? It's really important to stop this. So to avoid the fear and emotion that... It's not me. I don't know, I'm nervous. It's true that I really want to be free. Stop. Ok. I think if I'm here it's not the fear, I don't know, I just want to feel good tonight, whatever the situation or the people or whatever the movement is that I want to learn to live a very simple life, without worrying about what happens out there, what happens to people and what happens. And I would like to trust and to open, and yes to stop to be in fear and protect myself, or try to hurt myself. Yes. Hola soy Selena. Hey. Hi, my name is Selena. Me siento muy privilegiada de estar en este giro. Me siento muy privilegiado de estar en este giro. Los había visto en video, es la primera vez que los conozco. Y valoro mucho lo que están haciendo. Yo estoy aquí porque desde chiquita estoy buscando mi camino. Tengo una personalidad de altas y bajas. My personality is one of ups and downs. I've been an alcoholic for 18 years without a link. And it's a two steps problem. I know the calls from time. I love them. Pero pienso que mi personalidad es la que no me ha permitido permanecer por mucho tiempo. But I think my personality does not let me stay for long. En un lugar de paz quiero ir arriba y luego por abajo. Y estoy con un medicamento de psiquiatría. I'm taking psychiatric medication. Tuve un evento de psicosis. I had a psychosis. Y bueno, estoy aquí para aprender a que esos lazos te pasen a hacer más lazos. I'm here to learn how to make those times of peace more lasting. Muchas gracias. Thank you very much to everyone. Hola, buenas noches. My name is Gabira. I'm not very fond of speaking. Because I don't know how to express my feelings. I think that's why I am a sprotto. Because my hands are the ones who speak for me. I'm not certain about my reason for being here. I have a slight surprise in my mind. I think I miss my home. And my father? My father. Y a lo que soy. And what I am. Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm also Michelle. And I'm not sure why. I don't know why I'm here. But I'm listening to everyone. I feel myself in all of you. I feel myself in all of you. Because I am in all of you. And I'm here to speak with David. And I'm here to speak with David. And I'm here to speak with David. And to follow him for so long. and living with people who, you know, are for goodness and the power of forgiveness. I want you to know what you are, and what the separation never happened, and to have the confidence to be happy and safe company. My name is Shiloh, I am Canadian, but my husband and I live in Mazatland. It's a gift to be back here so soon, I was able to attend the Calvary retreat two weeks ago. And the Holy Spirit has been doing a lot with me since then. I've really been praying to the Holy Spirit, my blocks of unworthiness and undeserving and inferiority, anything in the way of love, we come up to be healed and transformed or released. And in Calvary I woke up to this idea of divine innocence for the first time. I think I heard it for the first time. And since then it felt very messy, I feel very messy. And Monday was my 8th anniversary with my husband James, and I said to James, happy anniversary, I think we should start planning our divorce. So since then I've been really practicing in a whole new way, no people pleasing and no private thoughts, which is quite radical for me in practice. And amazingly since then I've been totally a piece of the food, which I think I have been using to numb and stuff because I've been people pleasing. And since then, for me a woman has been a radical change in my way of nourishing myself, of nourishing myself in contact with people, which I think has always been a way for me to go through being with people, so what I'd like to get out of this weekend is the tools to take the no people pleasing and the no private thoughts more fully into our relationship. I need clarity about whether we're meant to stay together or part ways. James is an incredible man and I love him deeply. And I want what's best for both of us even if that means being apart. Which scares me out of my wits too. I'm just grateful to be messy and emotional and to be here. My name is James. Life is unpredictable.  We were introduced to your teachings by Brandon Jorge, who you met in Canada. We went to a one day retreat with the people from this center and had a chance to be here just after you set it up. We had the pleasure of meeting Andy and a number of other people who were here at the time.  You have a very powerful mind James. I'm an expert at people pleasing. My mom used to say I was the best baby so I started early. I'm so good at looking after others. But I've lost myself. It's time to find me again. My name is Jaime. My name is Jaime. My name is Jaime. I'm the same as Claire. Same as Claire speaking in public. This means some stress. But I think that it's part of the purpose of being here. Probably that's part of the purpose for being here. And I'm very happy to meet David. I had a really constructive talk with her. I felt her close to me. I felt the presence of love. But I noticed that I was blocking it. To put an end to the block. To the presence of love. I was talking. He said if you wanted to have peace, happiness. I felt intensively like crying. Because of suffering. Because I felt that when he was explaining what he feels, I saw myself perfect. And now the feeling of fear and insecurity is gone. I'm ready to finish it. To the awareness of the presence of love. I'm ready for you. Jaime. Jaime. I feel the same as Claire in Gabriela and Jaime. I don't like this baking problem. My name is Carla. I'm from here, from Mexico, from Monterey. First of all, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be here. For the invitation. To the Holy Spirit because actually I am here because of you. I'm here because for everyone's reason right now, what everybody has said, what everybody has shared, that's why I'm here. Yes, so I'm grateful for that often. And basically the Holy Spirit has teaching me through you, David, and in Greece and now, Jason. The simplicity of life, the simplicity of the course. To go back home. So that's why I'm here also. I want to go back home. And that's it. It's like a dream also, within the dream to be here right now and meet you guys personally. And a mighty companion lover. So thank you. And thank you for being here also. Hi my name is Sam. And I'm from England. Terrified of public speaking. My hands are sweating and my heart is beating really fast. And they actually asked me to teach this weekend. They've asked me to teach this weekend. So I don't know how far that's going to go. But I'm willing. I'm not quite sure how I've ended up here other than I've been led by Spirit. And I think that's been an answer to some very deep prayers. Prows of the heart. To know true word. And to be free of fear. And that's why I'm here. That's my prayer. That's what I want to know. And that's what I'm practicing. And the desire to feel home. Feel home and at one with God. And I live in community also. Yeah, it was really touched by your sharing, Shayna. I feel like that's actually what these retreats are all about. To come with such an open heart and open mind to allow the Spirit to show us the way. And that feeling, we're all joined in that healing. You come into experience and it's actually not personal.  Because it's the answer to my prayer. Because all of you being here is just giving me more opportunities to be in service to the Spirit. And every day I see more and more that that's the only way I can experience true happiness. To be used fully beyond the personal self in any way that will serve, any way that will help them to be done through. Yeah, so I'm just excited about this weekend. I don't know how I'm going to be used, but I'm just very willing and very open for whatever way I'm to connect with everyone. Ok, so I'm very grateful that you're here with me, that I'm going to be used, and I don't know how I'm going to be in contact with everyone. Thank you all for giving me such a beautiful opportunity to serve. Hi again, my name's Laverne. Like Emily, I also have lived in community and have dedicated my life to this path. And when I said yes to this path back in 2007, I had no idea where it would take me. And just in particular being in this Living Miracles community, I've been given just a lot of different projects that bring up my fears. Yes, and the most recent one is just stepping into this steward role here at La Casa de Malongros. And that I'm seeing just in saying yes to it, that the gift for me is just that I have to be so aligned with spirit all the time. And I've just been so grateful too with the ones around me that have been so willing to express from their hearts. Is it somehow seems to give us all this permission to be that transparent and open with one another? And several of the people here I've actually been together for many years. And there's this telepathy that we have with one another that is just for me like beyond words in terms of how beautiful it feels. And there between me and these people, there's a level of telepathy that we're trying to communicate. What I love about it so much is that it actually extends out. It's an invitation for others to join in. It's not like relationships of the world that are exclusive, it's actually inclusive. So again I just want to extend an invitation to all of you to just join in this vibe of inclusiveness. And know that this is a safe container to bring up any of the difficult emotions or problems you might have. Thank you. Hi, my name is Craig and I've been here for eight months. And I've been part of the Americans for about two and a half years now.   There's nothing else I want just to be used and to support the people who walk the path before me and to shine a light on those people who are taking the first steps or taking any kind of steps. In this moment there's nothing else I want just to be used and to support the people who are taking the first steps. And to support the people who are taking the first steps or taking any kind of steps. Yeah, it's such a trip. This ride is insane and I just don't love it. I don't know what's going to happen or what I'm doing but when you're opening it just, wow, it blows your mind. So thank you for being here and thank you for allowing me just to shine. Hi, I'm Andy. I live in the community. And I guess I'm glad it's not a race. But Bill and Andy, don't worry about it. T.Y., he's happy that it's not a race. I don't want to tip. You're still working on that one. Can you go? Okay. There's no hurry. No, I don't want to tell you how long I've left the interview. I still struggle a lot with fear and unworthiness. And I'm here to heal my mind. And deepen my relationship with my internal teacher, the Holy Spirit. And I was feeling anxious before this retreat. But now I just feel great. There's no place I'd rather be. Thank you. It's always such an honor that first night when we all come together and feel each other. It's an experience of hearing our brothers and sisters voice our thoughts. Just like in 12 step groups, there's a same feel when everyone is so open-hearted. And I'm always delighted just to see the quantum expression of my mind. Just an amazing array, collection of thoughts and inspiration here. Just like a novel where there are so many nuances how connected all of our lives are. We come together from different continents and different countries. And I love listening to the stories of what brought us all together for this most holy purpose. It was some years ago I came to Guadalajara to add that to the No Healing Center. And Jesus and Sonia were right there in that weekend retreat. Our family, the Delgado family, was like our Mexican family welcoming us down, come down to Mexico. And you can hear from the stories how we all have such deep connections that have brought us to this point in time and space. And on this intimate evening I love the transparency of what Shiloh was sharing, James, of going past the people pleasing and the private thoughts. And deep in your hearts you know how much trust it takes to lay down the mask and to just speak whatever is on your mind.  But every little time that we trust and experience a miracle we see that it's safe. And that nothing is going to hold us back from this love in our hearts. So I feel we are starting tonight, starting on the right foot as we go into the weekend. And there will be many opportunities to relax and to open up this weekend. Yeah, I know how much it takes just to get here. And now for everyone to have taken the next step to take the risk and really share the prayer of your heart. I can always feel this big sigh of relief all of you in this day. Thank you. And now the whole weekend will just unfold before us. Because even if you can't find the exact words and you can't find a way to put all of your prayer into words, God hears it. Yeah, He hears the prayer of the heart beyond the words. And with this kind of prayer that we are all joined in for the weekend, the channel to the Holy Spirit is wide open to receive the help. So I'm very grateful. Just feel it. When I first started studying a course of miracles, I had a brain damage. So I was reading the course and then I would forget what I read. In the first I was concerned that I couldn't learn the course. So I say to Jesus, is this a problem? He said, oh no, it's perfect. I don't want you to learn this course. I want you to listen to me.  And when you read something that you feel in your heart that makes you cry or makes your mind open, that is learning. That is remembering God. Anything else that you forget or can't understand, forget it. Not important. So it's all about listening, feeling, what resonates. And being so honest with ourselves that we can keep asking for help and keep recognizing that we need help and keeping that prayer open because we don't know the way by ourselves that we keep focusing on this relationship with the Holy Spirit and receiving the support through one another. And there's no way that we can fail. You are more adjoined in a prayer for truth. There is truth. We feel the presence of the Spirit and the illusions they get dissolved. So it's going to be fun. Before you came, I was in prayer. I've had so many wonderful, inspiring ideas for this weekend. I don't know how we can fit it all. Before you came, I was praying and trying to imagine things to do during this weekend. I don't know how to fit all of this. Expression sessions, talks with David, movie gatherings, music videos, dancing, singing. So we'll see what we can fit. Before I had to keep giving my worries to the Holy Spirit, now I have to give all my inspiration to the Spirit. Because he's still guiding the way. Yes, and this space here is like a garden. It's kind of like a zoo too, with animals. But there's a lot of care and there's a lot of welcome here in the garden. Oftentimes we'll have nourishing rain at night and a beautiful sunshine during the days. We could look at the flowers, the birds of paradise, and the many different colors here. Watch all the different birds and the hummingbirds flying around. And this place is very pet friendly. We have two pets that you'll meet if you haven't already. I saw the cat with the big blue eyes. He was adopted from a rehab center next door when he was a little kitten. And to say that cats had nine lives, he's lived two lives here already. He had a near-death experience and completely transformed into a new personality. And even though I have a friend who says reincarnation causes stress, he is also working on his last lifetime. He's transcending. So Benito was picked up by an interstate highway by Jason. He has gone through character transformation as well. Just rest assured, everyone who comes here leaves in a different state of mind. Every time we tell Benito he's about to leave. He gets better. He barks and barks and barks. That's his transformation. Kristin goes into prayer because he's now the monastery dog. He's very happy. So she prays that he serves the whole by being here. And then for one day he's very, very good. He serves a purpose being here. His main purpose was to show everyone that you can be clueless and care for. That you don't have to do anything good to be loved. And Benito has had some beautiful holy relationship assignments. And so like all of us it's not random that he's here. So when he was barking a lot and I prayed, is he to stay? I will be reminded, oh, who is his relationship assignment? And then when the person who was looking after him was giving him the full love and attention he... the person needed to exchange the love and he needed to receive it. So he was reflecting a lack of love at that time. So just like our relationships, they're all reflections. It's beautiful because all of us come and go down here. But we are greeted with purrs and wagging tails when we come back. A few years ago I did a week-long retreat at our monastery in the United States. And it was many miracles. Everyone was very happy at the end of the retreat. And there was a young man at the retreat that looked like Jesus. He looked like Jesus in the face and he had long curly hair. At the end of the retreat we were sitting in the kitchen and he opened the knock of the door and he came inside. And he said, I just have to tell you something about this place. He said it was just the most amazing week he'd had experienced. And he looked at us and he said, there's no one in charge here. It was just a wonderful feeling of how everybody was like in a dance together of perfect equality. And for us, after he left the room, we said, wow, that's the greatest compliment that anyone could ever say. And so that is really our wish for all of you this weekend. That you feel so relaxed and so safe, and truly so at home, that not once do you have to think about someone being in charge or somebody needing to follow. Because we are learning to be comfortable in our mind, remembering that we share our mind with God. And that's really what this is about, is sitting into that deep peace. With a feeling like you're surrounded by friends and surrounded by angels. So even though we do have a schedule for the weekend, if you just relax, you'll notice you just flow from one thing into the next into the next. And you may enjoy times where you're just laying in the grass and watching the sky and the birds. Because we're not really here to get something from someone, we're here to let the love flow through us. And if any of you have come with a prayer of questions or concerns, we will trust that the answers and the resonance will come in just the form that you can receive it. We hope that the answer will come in just the form that you can receive it. So, have any more to share? Do you want to say something? Okay. Well, quantum has been mentioned several times. Someone made a beautiful music video with the song Quentin Love in the background. And it's all scenes from a music festival and a lighten up retreat that we had. It was called the Strawberry Fields Forever festival. It's a monastery in Utah. So this one doesn't have Spanish subtitles. But a few lines from the song. It's all we wanted. It's who we are. Heart breaking wide open. Quantum love means quantum is everywhere. It's everywhere, all the time. So this whole festival is really all about that. What really wants to be revealed to us? And it is that present moment. It is the heart. This love cannot be contained bigger than the two of us. Anything that's just for us is purely for this relationship with God. Everything we're called to do is only ever for this relationship to listen and follow on a deeper and deeper level because we're just so worthy of being in this connection and knowing there's really nothing else. We are worthy of knowing that everything we do is for our relationship with God. Because there is nothing else. We're just to be there for everybody else. I'm revealing myself. That's why we call it a music festival and a life of retreat. Because enlightenment is an emptying out of all self-concepts. And the way that we do that is we give the self-concepts. We give the skills and abilities that the ego may have. We give them over to the Holy Spirit. We say, now give you the desire to bless, to bring joy, to bring happiness, to extend the love and light of our Creator. That's my best clueless look too. Yesterday's meeting was so much joy and everything was so open for me and to collaborate in music and it was really wonderful. And this morning everything is like clocked again and I cannot really say what it is. In your heart you come to this moment and the fear is going to come out of you. And this is an obstacle that will make itself known. And that's the journey. We go through the darkness to the light. That's one thing we really learned in the course that the fear will arise. And that you want to welcome that. It seems a little strange on the surface of things to welcome fear, but it has to arise. And everything that we teach and learn is letting the Spirit work through us and flow through us and purify and cleanse our mind. And in that sense we are answering the call to purity. Through a purification process and actually the process itself will disappear in an experience. So you won't be able to have experience and tell your war stories anymore.  You will just radiate war. And it really is a visual, tangible experience of this heart. Just so big and so amazing and joy that just comes out and flows it out and it's real. It has nothing to do with anything changing out there. It has nothing to do with something out there changing. This is like a music montage. The lyrics are family of light. And repeats again, family of light. I love you and I know you love me too. Angels so bright. It's early, it goes back years. Yeah, this is 2009. 2009, I'm sorry. Take it all with us. Now you can leave it here. Best to take it with you. Yes. What's the theme song? Good night. Good night. Good night.


The study investigated the differences in negative coping styles between individuals with cannabis use disorder and non-users. It was found that users had higher scores on active avoidance coping than non-users. Additionally, this style of coping differed significantly among those with different levels of cannabis use disorder.

What's up navigation traders welcome to this week's video update today's Friday June 21st This is your exclusive video for pro members to go over all the alerts and positions For the week before we jump into the trades. Let's take a look at who got caught being hot this week in the community This week we had a member who's been with us for several months We started doing some posting sharing trade ideas and and one one thing that kind of caught my eye was he He posted a question about some directional strategies that he's been testing and kind of trading and You know at the core of our portfolio where we're net option sellers We like to a lot of times start our positions Delta neutral But by no means does that mean we don't do some directional trading as well Both from just a speculative directional assumption to also adding different directional bias in our portfolio So like I said here, there are a lot of ways to skin the cat Actually, that's kind of a weird term, right? I don't even know what skin the cat means But maybe back in the day they they actually skin the cats and anyway But anyway, that's the that's the power of this community, you know, it's all about sharing different ideas different perspectives different strategies sharing with the community that is the definition of trade hacking and what we are doing here, so I Just wanted to say congrats to Scott Griffith Congrats Scott. You got caught being hot keep up the good work and continue sharing ideas. That's what it's all about I think Scott was kind of worried that, you know, because of a specific methodology that we trade he wasn't sure if it was kind of allowed to post, you know different straight trade ideas in the community, but absolutely that's what this is all about everybody keep up the good work loving the engagement in the community and For for being hot this week Scott. I sent you a private message, but you get to pick up some Trade hacker swag. We've got some t-shirts and mugs. We're gonna be or adding some additional cool swag in there before long But let's go to the alerts for the week Starting with Monday the 17th. We had our first trade was a closing trade in E. W. W. Had a short strangle on an E. W. W. Booked over 40% of max profit on that trade nice contraction in implied volatility Gave us a chance to book that winner E. W. W. The implied volatility now is a bit low to be putting on new positions So you can see we've got you know IV percentiles at 10 IV rank at 7 So had that nice contraction implied volatility gave us a chance to book that winner But not looking to re-enter an E. W. W. At this time Next trade closing adjusting trade in Z. W. Wheat we close our short call vertical and wheat in the July cycle had just three days to expiration It was deep in the money So we took a loss on that piece of the trade overall We're still down on wheat just battling back just continue to add positions take them off add positions Take them back take them off till we get to a profitable point and we've been doing this for gosh quite A while now and wheat but that's just kind of the name of the game We always want to have exposure in one of the grains corn wheat soybeans So you know just have continuing to have that exposure in wheat is kind of what we're doing there And let's take a look at what we've got going so we closed out that remaining call vertical in the July Cycle we've still got this one in August and remember when I say August I'm going off of what toss calls August Tasty works actually calls this one July, but the one with 35 days to expiration That's where we've got a position and you can see we've got some profit there Not not enough to take off and so we're just going to continue to wait on wheat Next trade closing trade in Netflix, so we're getting a little bit short in our portfolio So we wanted to add a little bit of long Delta in there and actually we weren't necessarily getting too short But you know based on kind of what the market was doing it looked As anticipated like it was going to continue higher. So I wanted I didn't want to be too short So just added in a directional Long bias trade and this kind of goes back to what I was saying We don't we don't shy away from directional strategies, especially as long as we stay within our range of A balanced portfolio in our mind a balanced portfolio is having kind of between one to one and five to one So this is what i'm talking about as far as directional trades This is purely a directional trade had some probabilities on its side But you know to me in our mind as long as you have a balanced portfolio You're not super super long or super super short Because you never know which direction things are going to go So having a balanced portfolio and when we say balanced portfolio We like to have between one to one and five to one of short Delta Versus our theta and that short Delta is beta weighted to sp y So beta weighted to the s and p 500 And as long as you are conscious about your Overall directional bias and you have a kind of a set standard of what that range should be as far as your bias one directional or another There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking some directional shots in this case We did this in netflix it looked like it had a good setup to Have a little bit of a balance to the upside and we were only in this trade for four days booked over 35% of max profit on the trade And so we're kind of in and out of that one Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in intel So we put on a short strangle after earnings on their last earnings announcement Option prices stayed elevated sold some premium Kind of went against us. We had to make an adjustment and then We're we're to the point where we're well over 50 of max profit after that initial adjustment And so we just wanted to kind of book that credit and roll out extend duration a little bit. We're still down Uh, I think maybe a hundred two hundred dollars on the trade So we just wanted extend duration. I did mention intel announces on 7 25 So we've got a little bit of time before their next earnings announcement And if we're profitable even by just a little bit, we'll probably just close out before earnings If not, we'll make a decision as we get closer But if we take a look at intel Here's where we're at So pretty dead centered right where we right where we made the roll up a tiny slight bit since we've done the roll But just waiting for time to pass in intel Next trade closing adjusting trade in DIA so we closed out the Put vertical side of One of one of our sets of iron condors in di a price breached our upside break even So we just closed out the untested side still holding the call Vertical side as well as our other full iron condor So if you take a look at di a here's that short call vertical You can see price kind of blew through our upside break even so we closed out the untested side still holding that one And then in the same cycle within july we've we've also got this full iron condor Where price is kind of hanging out in the upper end of the range. So need a little bit of downside to you benefit that Next trade was an opening trade in mcdonald's. So mcdonald's has earnings coming up on Oh, I actually didn't even list it but we did a pre earnings long straddle in mcdonald's 36 days out so a little bit longer than we typically do these But implied volatility is so low and on a trade like this we like to target kind of 15 25 percent Kind of on the low range here mcdonald's is not that volatile of a stock And so let's take a look at mickey d's. So here's where we're at. We've got this long straddle You can see we're up about 75 bucks just after one day because of the price of the options have gone up Since we entered this trade, but just looking for some movement either up or down And you know, we've got about 17 55 is the Risk we have in here Total total risk total buying power. So we want to capture, you know 15 20 percent of that So if we can if we can make 400 bucks In one direction or another that's kind of what we're looking for here. Take a look at the chart I mean look at implied volatility. It is just A minimal, you know ivy percentile at two ivy rank at three And with that earnings coming up Good time to potentially buy some premium and and mcdonald's has been in a real tight range here the last couple weeks So if we can have a little bit of a breakout up or break down below Uh should be should be good on that one, but we will see what happens And then with implied volatility so low an expansion going into earnings, which typically happens You can see implied volatility expanding going into this earnings announcement This one kind of popped up and then just kind of traded A little bit of a decline into this earnings announcement So if we can get a pop from where we're at now, that's definitely going to help our position as well And then it's just another diversified strategy, right? I mean a lot of our premium selling net selling option strategies are delta neutral from a perspective of wanting to stay with in a range In this case with mcdonald's we want it to bust out of the range. So just again diversifying our strategies And last trade of the week was a closing adjusting trade in smh. So we had two pieces on to smh two different sets of short strangles We were right at about 50 of max profit on this piece of the trade And and then we're still holding our other short strangles So we went ahead and booked this one just to reduce our exposure implied volatility is still decently high In smh. Let's take a look at that Yeah, it's 58 on the ivy percentile And so we went ahead and closed out that one piece still holding this one I will look to add another centered short strangle in smh next week assuming implied volatility stays decently high And then we'll continue obviously manage this one, which is in july when we enter the new one We'll do that out in august which has 56 days until expiration So that's the plan in smh. So those are all the alerts. Let's take a look at some of our other positions Oil has made a big move up the last couple days back in the center of our range, which is great We uh, we were way out here. I think even close to our short strike even Uh, but just kind of held on and let the probabilities play out come all the way back up to center We're up a little bit on the trade. We've got a max profit on this of 14 30 So trying to get about you know, six or seven hundred dollars in profit out of that one before we do anything Yes, we've got our long put vertical that we've been kind of holding for that short delta exposure Needing some downside to get back into range on that We've got how many days do we have 28 days? So we've got some decent amount of time there Gold had a couple questions on this in the community. You can see price has breached our upside break even and certainly warranted, you know, you could have adjusted today I don't have any issue if you wanted to adjust today by closing out that untested side But we do got a little bit of juice a little bit of premium left in that put vertical side So we're just going to give it over the weekend if we get a nice move back down Then we'll get back into range if it continues higher. We'll definitely close out that put vertical side and potentially Sell some more premium. Let me see on gld where the ivy is on Uh gold he has nice and high so adding another piece to this next week will be on the radar for sure Uh, if we take a look, you know, it spiked up and then it spiked up again today But it's come significantly down off of its highs So if we get a little bit of a retracement to the downside, we'll be back in business back in range Uh, but either way we may look to add to this next week Natty gas has been on a vicious slide to the downside So we could definitely use a little bump To the upside here a little two-sided action if we take a look at our natty gas We've got these two different sets. We're sharing the three put on the put strike And then we've got two different call strikes, but fairly fairly similar positions Because he prices down here. It's out of our range here And I'll set them getting an update here. So let me close that out Um, and so if we take a look at just our calls You know, we're we're close to making an adjustment here if price continues lower next week We'll roll down our calls. Of course, we'll forget to bounce back to the upside That's what we're looking for and we'll we'll continue to manage as needed We've got 35 days to expiration. So got some decent time left there Bonds we've got a short straddle, which was originally a short strangle We adjusted into a short straddle. You can see prices right here If we take a look at our untested side, which is the puts You can see we still got a little bit of premium left in there if prices continue higher next week in bonds We will roll up our puts and as far as our time frame goes We would stay in that august cycle with 35 days to expiration Of course, if we get a down move, we're we're not too we're not down too much on this trade when we made the roll We were fairly close to even So any kind of a slight down move and if we get a down move it down to 152 for example, you know, that's a $1,400 $1,500 Swing in P&L. So we would just be able to close out with a profit at that point. So we'll see what happens mentioned ZW apple We've got this Long put vertical looking for some downside in apple You know price had made this big flush down and then bounced up We were looking for a little bit of a continuation to the downside, but that didn't happen It kind of just ripped higher And so we're trying to get a little bit downside action in apple before we do anything there Very similar thing in john deere had that big push down and bounced up and we're looking for a potential continuation to the downside We were looking to add short delta Still being strategic about that and then but you know again continue to rip higher in John deer. So we're just fighting that one. We'll continue to To hold on to that one for now DIA I mentioned that one fxi So we've got an iron condor on here could have made an adjustment here You can see prices is outside the range But we if we look at that put vertical side again, we've still got a little bit of premium left But if it continues higher in the next week, we will make an adjustment there Of course if it comes down back into range We will just kind of hold and manage from that perspective Goldman sacks another position that we put on for some short delta You can see prices hanging out right here just inside range Looking for some downside to benefit this as soon as we put this on we actually had a decent amount of profit But we're looking for a little bit more and we needed that short delta Unfortunately kind of reversed course on this and came up So we're we're still within range, but just looking for some downside in gs IWM we've got an iron condor. You can see prices kind of hanging out here in the upper end of the range I could use a little bit of downside and some More theta decay before we do anything there IYR we've got two pieces on here. We've got this short call vertical which was from That we rolled it was part of an iron condor. We closed out the untested side rolled this one out to july And now we're just waiting for some more downside before we do anything there And then in addition to that we have another full iron condor Which is pretty centered got a little bit of profit just waiting for some more in that KRE This is originally a strangle adjusted into a straddle. You can see we've got a few hundred dollars in profit Back after that roll. We're still down a tiny bit pretty close to even here So what we'll do we've still got 28 days to expiration Next week we'll probably either make a decision to close this for a small profit if we're profitable or we may look to Roll that out to august to extend duration and try for some more profit Depends on plied volatility, but right now it's nice and high so we would consider rolling and keeping that You know because if we took it off we may just you know enter a new position Anyway, so we'll see where we're at with that one next week, but could be a close or a rolling situation I mentioned mcdonald's qqq cues have been really strong We've got those two sets of short call verticals, which are way out of our range So we'll look at least rolling one of these we've got 28 days to expiration But we'll look to roll at least one of these sets out to august just to kind of diversify our time get back into a positive theta position We need some downside in the cues I mentioned smh sp y we've got two different pieces here One is this iron condor with price kind of hanging out in the upper end of the range here and the other piece Is a piece that we had rolled from the last cycle and you can see price with this strong movement has come out of range So looking for some downside to get back into range on that piece XL k kind of a similar situation. We've got a long put vertical looking for some downside to get back into range there And xrt we've got this short strangle with price hanging out up here Just looking for a little bit of downside and some theta 2 to k before we do anything in that one See implied volatility has been slowly contracting since we put this on But just need a little bit of downside to get back into center on that one So That's all the trades. That's all the alerts. Hopefully we get some more opportunities to add some positions We've got a decent amount of cash. I think we're using about 35 Of our net look in buying power right now. So definitely have some room to add some positions But also don't want to force anything We like to you know, if we can get a little bit of a downside movement in some stocks Get a little pop it implied volatility. That's always a better a better situation to enter new trade So hopefully we get some of that and potentially close out some for winners in our current portfolio Everybody have a great weekend. Talk to you next week


Sri Harsha, Rahul and Nandan for what I think they've done to office lunches and to the way India orders its food today.


A number of industries have been affected badly by the continuous lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these industries, the printing industry has not yet recovered from the crisis even after the lockdown restrictions have been relaxed. There are many small printing press units in Tamil Nadu, especially in Chennai which are struggling for their survival. Newspick approached some of them to understand the crisis that they are going through these days. I especially mentioned in the printing press area in Tamil Nadu, more than two lakhs printing presses are working. The employers all over the world are engaged, more than 10 lakhs employees are engaged in these particular industries. The complete lockdown starts from March 24. After March 24, for the first three months, it's 100% lockdown. After three months, the government partially relaxes all the areas. Printing press also relaxes them. The printing press is the main job, actually college, school, printing books, records and everything and the social festival functions, family functions and everything. It's all only connected to the printing press area. So for the past four and five months, the printing press area is 100% lockdown. The employees and staffs and small entrepreneurs also very well affected in this area. I can't show the fees to the kids, sir. Even after the pandemic, we have to work hard to open the company and you have to go and sit there. When I finished my job, they asked me to do this. They asked me to come and do it. After the lockdown, they asked me to come and do it. Now, they are forcing us to show the fees to the kids. They are calling us and sending us messages. They asked me to come and do it. Now, they don't have anything to do with it. They are not working. The company is very lazy. But we have a lot of problems. Some of the employees have to do it. They have to give us a receipt. Some of the employees called us and told us that they had to work hard. Now, they are working very hard. Now, in these nine months, probably if anything, everything has gone well. We would have conducted about some 15 book fairs in various district headquarters. 70% of our revenue is only from the book fairs. At least we have a large showroom here in Chennai in Tamil Nadu or Indian Standard. We have some more showrooms in the other district headquarters. But most of the Tamil publishers, they depend upon the book fair only for their sales. So, they are all affected very, very badly. We too are affected, but they are affected much more badly than us. We were expecting the government to do at least some minimum assistance to us, the publishers. We can do it only if we get the documents, school diary, etc. But now, we have been paying the salary for the last five months. We have been asking for time to pay the rent. They have said that they will pay the rent for the next three months. In Raya Patai area, there are more than 10,000 people. In this area, there are more than 10,000 people. This is the last time. No one can say no to us. They are all experiencing this. No one can say no to us. Who will say no to us? The government is not taking this money from our office. They are asking for the GST bill. They are asking for the GST bill. They are asking for the current bill. They are asking for the telephone bill. They have said that the central government will pay the rent for the next six months. They have even cut the net work for a month. They have cut a month's work for the bill. Before, we would get a good job. In the night time, we would get a good job. We used to get a lot ofát jobs. We used to get a lot of school book. We do not have any jobs now. We get only a couple of jobs. We do not have a lot of jobs. The night time, we get a lot of jobs. We get a good job. We will spend 2000-3000 Rupees. Now, there is no way out and no work to do. Now, the money to buy is correct for the rent. It is difficult to pay for school fees.


Chairman of the Federal Civil Service pensioner's branch Eguoba-Fedric says retirees do not intend to exit the Nigerian Union of pensioners, NUP, the umbrella buddy for pensioners in the country to register a new trade union. Frederick alleging that the union recently dissolved ex-school members had published a statement claiming that retirees of the Federal Civil Service have opted out of the NUP following a crisis between the two unions. Frederick says the past ex-school members were acting on selfish interests ignoring the plight and agony of pensioners. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

And then on Stop Trading on Swark on the Street, you talked about United Rentals. Yeah, well United Rentals might deal in doing a terrific job. A lot of people felt that he wouldn't have a good quarter. They were wrong. United Rentals is a fantastic play on TRX, big upward cranes, but it's also really a great read through for Caterpillar. For Domestic, I continue to think that Caterpillar, unfortunately Caterpillar's run. They're going to run into the quarter, so maybe you'll wait until after, but URI plus some great commentary out of China tells me that Caterpillar's good.


A language and a nation. There are more than 7000 languages nowadays in the world. Each of them is unique. Since ancient times, people tended to unite into small groups to protect their own interests. Long time ago they were called tribes. Now there are nations to replace the name. In order to understand each other, members of a group needed a language system. It is a system of sounds which should be clear to each member. But at the same time, this system must be unclear to enemy tribes. Such systems appeared and eventually transformed into languages. Though the most spoken language nowadays is certainly English, it doesn't mean that all the other languages will be forgotten in the nearest future. A nation's language is still an important element of national identity. There are so many interesting things in each language that there is even a branch of science studying them. This science is called linguistics. Linguistics itself has a lot of sections. Each language has its own history and cultural background. It has its own vocabulary, grammar, phonetics, etc.
