Now we can go live on SensorTube. Your live SensorTube says Twitch is live. Perfect, perfect, and Rumble is live. Awesome. Hi everyone, this is Chucho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to the live stream. Today is January, no, not January, February 4th, 2024. And we're doing a book reading live stream, continuing with our book leader reading live stream on charted 8. Salutations, salutations, hope you're doing well. The Welsh Dragon 2000, salut salut evening evening. Salbandini, salutations on Twitch. What's up everyone? Book readings, book readings are up. Book readings are up. Lark Park, hey you all and what's up? Salut salut and Free Assange, virtual Nazgul. And gang, do not forget, do not forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publishing journalist that has been crucified for trying to be transparency accountability of capitalist power to humanity. Something that we desperately, desperately need in our societies. For more information, see wikileast.org, defendoutwikileast.org, or countless resources available on free speech platforms. And remember this week gang, this week, not this week, this month, in two weeks time, really. Assange has his hearing to be extradited to the United States. And we're gonna try to make sure we're up to date with the information. Salut to Assange gang. Cheryl, woke up from my Sunday afternoon nap just in time, nice, nice. For book readings, for book readings, Cheryl. Salut, salut.  Just want to let you know, hope you have a great week ahead. Thank you very much. You as well and everyone in the chat. Salut, salut gang. First time chat, is so, way too. Is a way, is a way too, is a way too. Hello, Free Palestine and Free Assange. And gang, I've added, while this came up, I've added four new commands to Twitch, okay. You got Gaza, exclamation mark, Gaza. You got Palestine, exclamation mark, Palestine. You got Israel, exclamation mark, Israel. And all three commands say the same thing. And they're linking you up to Norman Finkelstein, about a 45 minute sort of a teaching that he does and that he's done online on SensorTube regarding Gaza, Palestine, Hamas, and the history of that conflict, well worth it. And the other command we added was exclamation mark, Iran. And what that says is, because we're headed, to understand Iran, we must first understand how the CIA overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953. See the following CIA documents on Iran on Mohammad Mozadeq, okay. And that goes into a website that's an archive of stuff. I've looked at it a little bit, I haven't dug down too deep. I know the history, I've read up on it, I stayed up to it. So I'm pretty sure that contains a lot of the info that you do want. And I also link to archive of New York Times, mainstream media source, just in case people have any questions regarding the sources and stuff, okay. All the gods, salutations, hope you're doing well, all the gods subscribed. Salute, salute, subscribe for tier one. We've got uncharted ace, currently on three stream streets, salut uncharted ace. Thank you very much. An Irish mang, gifted a tier one sub to all the gods, salut Irish mang and all the gods, salut, salut. Tequila with one large ice cube in there. One large ice cube, okay. Prowler ranger Chico long time no see, psyched for the Sunday streams, indeed me too. Hopefully we can keep these up. We might have hiccups, we might have to switch the dates and stuff, but we'll see, we'll see. We'll make sure we're streaming a lot in the coming months, weeks, years. Okay, yeah, we are streaming on sensor two. Good, good, good, good. Okay, I just wanted to check that out. All the gods says, thank you very much, Irish mang, large park. Have you heard the latest Chico? Record label plans to drop Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Potter's following accusations of anti-Sovietism, anti-Sovietism.  Rogers isn't anti-Semitic but critical towards the Israeli lobbyists and war crimes. Which is, which isn't at all, indeed, indeed.  No, man, you stood up against genocide. Stand on the right side of history. Anybody that doesn't is a coward, a clown. Let's leave that alone, right? We've got a politics command, too. Check this out, politics, right? Please keep politics and other heavy subjects to their respective streams. Right? Because we're gonna deal with that stuff a lot, a lot, a lot. Gang, before we get into the readings, because this is readings related, right?  We've done, I pulled out 21 books. This is number 21 and I lost the labels or losing their stickiness because we've sort of been delayed in reading books. But there's 21 books here that we're doing readings for. We've excerpts from, right? We've read excerpts from 12 of the books. We've got nine more to go through and I'm about to add one more to the pile as well, okay? Cause I got a book by come in, okay? We got a book by come in. I heard that they found Hamas tunnels on there that I C J and they get hilarious. Yeah, yeah, probably injured. They're gonna have a tough time with that. The Floyd can't be canceled, no, man, no, man. The one thing you learn from Pink Floyd, the one thing you learn from Pink Floyd, Roger Waters. Roger Waters is Pink Floyd, right? Sure, the other ones contributed and stuff like this, but Roger Waters core essence of Pink Floyd, right? Their words spoke true and it has stood the test of time, right? It has stood the test of times, okay? One thing I'll tell you about Pink Floyd, when I was in high school, I love Pink Floyd, right? But I was in high school, the one song I didn't like was we don't need your education, I thought, oh man, I used to know the lyrics, thought, control and all that jazz, right? And at that time, at that time, because I was really into math and physics and chemistry, I was loving my stuff, what I was learning. I was like, man, what do you mean? We don't need your education. I wanna learn math, I wanna learn physics, I wanna learn chemistry, I wanna learn the sciences. I like science, I wanna learn, right? I didn't like, that's the one, even though I love the beat of it, I even sang to it. I still didn't like it because I wanted to become educated. Later on, even though I was way more awake than all my friends, most of my friends, geopolitically way more awakes geopolitically than all my friends, right? I mean, I came from one of the axes of the evil countries and saw certain things by the time I got into high school and whatnot, right? It was only later on that I realized they're not talking about math, physics. They're talking about the education system, right? Education system, which is about indoctrination, programming and stuff like this. So Roger Waters, man, salute. The guy is a powerhouse and I've seen him live. And man, you get a chance to see Roger Waters, you jump on it, okay? Salute to Roger Waters. Such innocence, such innocence, Cheryl, such innocence, right? Such innocence. Even though I knew more geopolitics than all my other friends, right? Crazy, crazy. Gang, let's do a call, not a comic book call, let's do a book call. Sounded like a super building collective. Mr. Izakaya, what are you doing? Greetings, elder God on rumble. Gang, let's do a book call, okay? One little teeny-meeny book, right? This teeny-meeny book costs $26 and shipping was $5. Okay, no. Just a little recommendation to Canadian, Canadians who are buying on eBay, okay? If you buy anything on eBay, coming from Canada, you pay taxes on it. I got another, two other packages coming to me. We'll do, we'll show them once they arrive. And I ended up paying 16% tax on items that are like 30 years old, like 16% tax, because I believe I'm also being taxed on the shipping cost and they're coming from Canada, right? And there were $100, not $100, what I'm saying, one of them was $100, the other one was $60, right? And I'm paying 16% tax on those, right? So that's a burn. If you buy anything from Canada, off eBay, you're paying GST, HST, and you get taxed on the shipping as well, so it ends up you're paying anywhere between 14% to 16% tax, 16% tax, let's say, 15% tax, let's say, right? If you buy anything that is less than $50 coming from the United States, as long as they're not going through eBay shipping program, you don't pay tax, right? As long as they're shipping to you directly, you don't pay tax. So if you're a Canadian, it's worth it more to buy items that are less than $50, sometimes even $60 or $80, $80 of pushing it, less than $50 from American buyers if they're shipping it directly to you because you don't have to pay tax. 16% is a fair bet, right? If you're buying anything that's $100 or more, or $80 or more, and they're going through eBay shipping program, they change their way they're charging you now where they don't tax you on right away when you're paying for eBay global shipping program, which is a robbery, and the tax says, they're leaving that empty, and then you get nailed at the border for GST, PST, and service charges, right? So it's just a burn now, it's just a burn. You really have to navigate buying online now because governments are bankrupt and they're coming after everything that you have, okay? So be warned, that's my recommendation to people that are buying on eBay specifically, okay? Aside from that, let's do a book haul.  Anyone who wanna guess what this is? It's one of the books that's been on my watch list for a very long time, okay? And I've bought it before, and we've read from it before, and we're gonna read a little bit from this excerpt from this book as well again.  So we had nine books left over from our book excerpt reading. We just added one more, okay? I was doing three book readings per livestream, so that's gonna throw off us a little bit. Maybe we'll do, and this one will read a little bit more from two book readings because we're doing a comic book haul and then get backed into doing three book readings per livestream. So let's crack this open. First time chat, Master Benny's asking me, what religion are you from? What religion am I from? My ancestry is Armenian, that gives you anything, any information. And I've read, like here, I have the Bible we haven't read from yet. We got the Oran we haven't read from yet. We got Time in the Technosphere we haven't read from yet, surprisingly. So there's three spiritual books. We got, we read from the Tao of the I Ching. That's a spiritual book. So I think we are all spiritual beings to a certain degree. All of wind voucher. How to spend your $100? Oh, I got a $100 wind voucher, what's this? Books and wine, the perfect pair. Thrift book, $100 wind voucher, code this. Claim within 30 days, delivery included. What? What, I got a $100 here, I'll cover the codes because I don't know if I'm gonna, what's this, $100 wind voucher. That's nice. I gotta look into this, what this is. But check this out. Check this out. The Essential Psychedelic Guide. The Essential Psychedelic Guide, right? And this looks like it was a library book but it's a really nice condition. Really nice condition. This is in great condition. Like, look at this. This is in fantastic condition, right? Really nice condition. If this was a comic book, I would grade this at, what would I grade this at? I would grade this at 7.5 maybe, right? 30 years as used from Scientology. Master Benny Ninine, just asking because of the red book with the cross. Oh yeah, and I have, we have like esoteric, you know, magic and wizards and stuff, the golden dawn system of magic, right? I just have this book, I inherited it from a friend and I like books, so we did a reading on this as well. So for me, I'm open-minded. I don't believe there's only one path. I think if people are gonna say there's a path, there's only one path, the only one path is to be kind, right? Lark Barth, the Bible does have some interesting passages indeed. Alla God, Ciccio is a religious man of spiritual love. Yays, like that. So again, the Essential Psychedelic Guide, we got it, we bought it for $26, shipping was $5, and this is US. So total came out to $31 US, and it's a great deal. If I can get this book usually for less than in a really nice condition, like white pages and everything, right? For less than like 30, $40, even $50.  I'd have a few copies of this now, because I consider D.M. Turner to be the ultimate psychonaut, right? To me, you know, rest in peace, D.M. Turner, right? Really, rest in peace, D.M. Turner. But he explored the psychedelic realm to bring knowledge to humanity, and he did an amazing job.  But to me, the most important, raw, raw, like not approaching it from an academic point of view, not approaching it from someone who wanted to write papers or a chemist point of view or anything like this. When it comes to pure psychonaut, pure psychonaut, D.M. Turner is it. To me, he is the ultimate, most important psychonaut that I know of anyway, that I know of, from the Western world, from Canada, United States, UK. Those are ones that I'm more familiar with. Okay. Great book. This is this book and D.M. Turner's Salvadoran Psychedelic Essence of Salvia Divinorum, which we've done a full reading of, right? You can find it on our Sensitive Channel, Bichu Channel, Odyssey, and Rumble, right? Salvadoran, The Psychedelic Essence of Salvia Divinorum, right? I think it took us four live streams to do the reading, right? We read that whole book and we've read, three times we've read excerpts of this and we're about to read another excerpt from this. Okay. We're about to read another excerpt from this. The controller is in, she chose a Sunday. The religion, like, practices, she chose a Sunday. Oh, no. Elgar says we read page 42, right? On Lonely Piggy, Hello, All Salutations, Salutations, Irish Mang, Lark Park, Alan Watts is a gem. Indeed, indeed. Gang, Elgar God has spoken. We're about to read page 42. Okay. Let's see what, what, cool. Empathogens, check this out. Ecstasy, check this out. So, we just got this. Hello, do you know? Oh, Gorjahyaf, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I haven't read any of his books, but I read some passages and excerpts. Yoguli, Yoguli 33, yeah. He was Armenian ancestry, I think. He was, wow, wasn't he? Chichon, Chichon, three chichos swung cigars. I learned, I learned. Okay, gang, we've done, we just got this as a whole. The Essential Psychedelic Guide by DM Turner. We've already done three excerpts reading of this, but since we got, this is a new haul again, we're gonna read another excerpt, another passage, passage. Wish he's, no. But I've done heroic doses of the Yang Yang, right? So we're gonna read an excerpt from this, and Elder God came in and mentioned that he wanted to read page 42. And this is The Essential Psychedelic Guide by DM Turner. It was published, this came out, it's the only printing, because the family didn't agree with doing second or any other printings because they didn't agree with DM Turner's lifestyle, right? And unfortunately, the DM Turner passed away in 1996, maybe 1995, I can't remember. This book was printed in 1994, first printing Essential Psychedelic Guide, okay? And page 42 is gonna be chapter two, okay? Empathogens and it's gonna be ecstasy, the heart-opening psychedelic. So Elder God said he wanted us to read page 42, so we're gonna start on page 41, so we start at a good starting point. Sorry about that game, loud. So we're gonna start off at a good starting point. Yeah, Lark Bark is a great read. I've already read this book at least three times. Let's say three times, I've read this book from cover to cover over the last 25 years that I've had it, I guess, 20, I don't know, 24 years that I've had copies of it. Yeah, Yogi, I've read a little bit of Gurdjieff and I know his philosophy a little bit or I knew it way better 20 years ago and I looked into it. And he's got a huge following as well. He's got a huge following as well.  Okay, let's go to page 41. And this is, this book is, it talks about different type of infusions, psychedelics, gives a little bit of history, plans, foods, gods, philosophy, tips, this is like literally the essential psychedelic guide, like literally the essential psychedelic guide, right? Literally the essential psychedelic guide, okay? And it looks like page 41, okay? It's, and I actually wrote a piece online, okay? In tribute to D.M. Turner's book, this book and the Salvadoran, right? And it was a trip report that's available on Earwood and Shroomery and it's got, it's called breaking a master cleanse with salvia, the venorum, and psilocybin mushrooms. Breaking a three day master cleanse and stuff like this is available on my side as well. Wheezy case, salutations, salutations, okay? So I respect D.M. Turner on a level where I actually, as a tribute to him, try to do, present something like he did, okay? In a scientific manner, sort of a trip report, but detailed, detailed, right? And page 41, okay, it's called ecstasy, the heart-opening psychedelic. And he's talking about intensity, two to four, right?  All the guys come out with D.M. Turner, born Joseph Vivian, October 5th, 1962, died December 31st, December 31st, wow, 1996. And Ketamine took him out, okay? Mr. Hezeka, I think I might have outgrown my allergy to mushrooms. I'm glad I never did have one. Gang, let's read this. The Essential Psychedelic Guide by D.M. Turner, page 41, ecstasy, the heart-opening psychedelic, intensity, two to four. Material, ecstasy is a synthetic compound developed in 1914 as a potential dietary aid. However, its psychoactive effects were not discovered until the mid-70s. It was used wisely, widely in therapy from this time until 1985, when it was made illegal. Its chemical name is three, four, meth-ly, meth-y-ly-oxy-meth-a-meth-a-meth-a-meth-a-meth-a. Phantamine, mesophantamine, M-D-M-A. Commonly known as X-E or atom, it usually comes as a white crystalline powder or made into tablets. Dosage, 125 milligrams, 1 eighth of a gram is generally considered a single dose of ecstasy. This amount will produce an experience lasting about four hours total, with the intensity dropping off a couple of hours into the high. Many recreational ex-users do what's called double dosing, taking additional 125 milligrams as soon as the first dose starts wearing off. My personal preference is to take one large dose of 150 to 170 milligrams, which produces an intense but short-lasting experience. I prefer this method because it reduces the side effects in double dose of X can produce. Ecstasy should be taken on an empty stomach. If one ingests it on a full stomach, they might not get high at all or may have a delayed trip. The high. When ecstasy is coming on, it feels fantastically exhilarating. Users report feeling blissed out, energetic and emotionally open and loving. The ride up usually lasts 30 minutes to an hour. One then reaches a plateau where they'll be for the next one to two hours, followed by a slow drift back to baseline. Taking multiple doses will change the timing of these periods. Most X users report that their first couple of experiences are like being in heaven and leave a strong impression. Experiences after this are still enjoyable but can't match the initial ride. After numerous X trips, I've concluded that lasting and beneficial experiences are derived primarily from deep bonding with other people while one is high. Nearly all of my better X experiences happened when I was with either one other person or a small group of close friends. This framework for using ecstasy closely parallels how it was used in therapeutic settings. Ecstasy's ability to allow emotions to flow more easily and naturally and to create an atmosphere of non-judgment and acceptance is conductive to deep bonding and healing. I find that the more general feeling of connectedness, which users report feeling with large groups of people, are even events such as raves, tends to dissipate, leaving one feeling hollow by the time the drug wears off. Ecstasy is not really psychedelic in the same way as other substances in this journal. It does not have the potential to produce the fine level of detail and hallucinations that is possible with substances like LSD or mushrooms. Indeed, many users experience no visual phenomenal at all with ecstasy. Ecstasy also does not heighten one's senses to the level of infinite sharpness that is common with the traditional psychedelics. Ecstasy is sometimes called an empath, empathogen because of its ability to facilitate emotional empathy and communication. I've also heard it referred to as a selective psychedelic. I think this describes it the best. Ecstasy opens one's mind in a psychedelic way, but much of the personality and perceptual structures, structure are left intact that would be diminished on other non-selective psychedelics. This makes ecstasy usable by many, many people who would not handle the effects of something like LSD. With ecstasy, one does not go through the solution of identity and cannot get into the multitude of weird head spaces that can be experienced during an LSD trip. More than any other psychedelic, ecstasy seems to produce very similar experiences in different people, generally described as loving and emotionally open while adventurous to the novice psychedelic user. Ecstasy's limited experience producing range provides a low ceiling to the more adventurous psychonaut. Ecstasy rarely produces a bad experience, but there are some negative aspects to ecstasy's signature. I find ecstasy can be one of the hardest psychedelics to come down from, particularly if I've double dosed. I tend to feel depressed as the blissful ecstasy feeling slip away. My previous personality feels sticky at this point and I feel I have less options choosing my return personality than I would returning from the traditional psychedelics. Ecstasy also produces some side effects, a speedy feeling throughout the experience, some accompanied by jaw clenching. It is in the amphetamine family, a loss of appetite and sometimes a hangover the next day. Safety factors, ecstasy is the only psychedelic I've used which leaves me feeling any less than perfect the next day and this experience seems to be common among most users of ecstasy. Based on this, I suspect that ecstasy is not the most benign substance to take into one's body and have reduced my consumption to an infrequent basis. There have been a few cases of people who died from heat stroke following the use of ecstasy in dance clubs. They become dehydrated after dancing for hours without drinking any fluids. Although this is rare, it's a reminder for one to pay attention to their body's basic needs while using ecstasy or any other substance. I've read numerous clinical articles on ecstasy. There does not appear to be conclusive evidence one way or the other as to whether it causes any type of damage to humans or whether any potential damage caused is permanent or reversible. However, many who are concerned with safe use have gleamed suggestions from these articles. Although large doses of ecstasy produce some neurotoxicity in lab animals, damage was significantly less to non-existent less to non-existent with a smaller dose equivalent to 100 to 150 grams for most humans. Other experiments showed that a single dose of Prozac, a prescription antidepressant drug will completely block the neurotoxic effects ecstasy can produce in lab animals. The Prozac can be taken up to six hours after the ecstasy. I've taken Prozac towards the end of about 20 time trips, 20 X trips, 20 ecstasy trips. And in most cases, I felt better the next day than I normally do after taking ecstasy alone. Prozac is considered a controversial drug. Some of the people to whom it was prescribed on a regular basis claim it gave them suicidal tendencies. Apparently a small percentage of the people who try Prozac have some type of negative mental reaction. Several people I know have first tried Prozac by itself to see what their reaction to it is before taking it at the end of an ecstasy trip. As I mentioned above, taking ecstasy with Prozac, especially multiple doses, has a tendency to give one a hangover the next day. This can leave one feeling physically drained and mentally fizzled. Once changes of feeling bad, then one's chances of feeling bad the next day can be greatly reduced by taking just a single dose of ecstasy. Another method of reducing or eliminating this hangover is to take amino acids such as D-L-Fentalendine, D-L-P-A, or other neurotransmitter precursors prior to and after ingesting the ecstasy. These nutrients are available from health food and vitamin stores and are frequently included in smart, smart drinks. I've also read that all the fenthamenine drugs produce free radicals and that taking antioxidant formulas also available at most health food stores can help prevent damage from their use. Combination, LSD, ecstasy is frequently taken with LSD, a combination commonly known as candy flip. I find the feelings produced by this combination can be much deeper and more visual than on ecstasy alone. But since the ecstasy has a much heavier signature than the acid, I tend to experience more of an intensified ecstasy high and lose the depth I would experience on acid alone. If taken around the same time, the ecstasy will wear off first while the residual high from the acid provides for a smooth recovery. Nitrous oxide, using nitrous and ecstasy is growing in popularity, particularly in the rave scene. See the LSD chapter for information on nitrous oxide. Ecstasy may be significantly intensified and possibly dangerous if combined with MAO inhibitors. See the 2CB chapter. And the next chapter goes into 2CB, the erotic empathogen, empathogen. Cool. Nice little write up on ecstasy, The Essential Psychedelic Guide by D. M. Turner. 1996. Nice, nice read, nice read. Glad to have another copy of this in my library. And all the copies that I have, I put in comic book bags and boards because to me, this is available as creative comment. I guess it's available. You can read it for free online, just so you know, okay? But no additional publication of this has been authorized. So to me, this is a very important book, very important book. And again, thank you, D. M. Turner. Thank you, D. M. Turner. Let's put this here. I'm just gonna get caught up with the chat. Salute, salute gang. Oh, nice alligar, you linked it up on Rumble, where you can read it for free online, okay? Awesome, awesome. Thanks to Allah, God. My time to Astoria, M.D.M.A., M.D.M.A. Thank you very much for the Twitch Prime sub, the real fast, fast et a cologne. They're the real fasticle, the real fasticle. Thank you very much for the Twitch Prime sub, salute. Massive Tracers on X. Mr. Hezekiah says, I don't know, I see massive Tracers on X. I know people that get visuals as well on X to C. So, I don't know, I don't know. Allah, God, link to download the current book, nice. Thank you, Allah, God, link it up and Twitch as well. Thank you, Allah, God, Mr. Hezekiah says. Nitrous being available at gas stations now blows my mind. Food use only. Do they have it available in the United States at gas stations? You can just go load up on a flask, on a tank of nitrous. Can I give you Mr. Hezekiah?  I can see ravers coming up with their pickups. There's like 35 bodies. I remember going to Raze and they used to charge like, what was it, five bucks? Five bucks a drag or, I don't know what it was. I never did. They used to have balloons. Blowing gas like that. I went to one rave in Portland for one balloon. For one balloon, yeah. I went to one rave in Portland, string cheese instead of knee or zeeve. And there were people with balloons, nitrous balloons and stuff like this. And the costs were going around, because it floats. Costs were going around confiscating all the balloons. I know what I'm doing tonight then, ha ha, Mr. Prowler Ranger, what? Cheryl, I didn't know this. Really? Well in Canada, you could, illegally, you could shoot up down the streets. Like, it's crazy. It's wacko, right? It's wacko. But nitrous and gas stations, well, the rave train's coming in. The rave train's coming in. Hilarious, craziness, craziness. Again, my voice is getting raw. Crazy. As you might know, I've been recouping from a little spike protein I picked up. So the odds are we're only gonna do one more book reading today, okay? Just so you know, unfortunately, maybe I shouldn't have put two live streams, two reading live streams, because we're gonna do a live streaming, oh, I didn't bring it. Live stream reading of the Iran contract trading cards on Tuesday, okay? So I gotta sort of pace myself on this, pace myself on this. Good reading though, yeah? Good reading. Gang. Now, let's do a second reading, and I'll read as much as I can from the next book. Now, we've done all these readings. That's 12 book readings we've done. You can find the link. Let me give it to you guys. To the book readings, you can find, where's my playlist? There it is. Okay, let me link it up on all of our, all of our, so these are, this is our book club playlist on SensorTube. Apologies, this is on SensorTube, gang. It's just, it's more difficult to create the playlist. There's only so much I can do on the other channels and stuff like this. So that's the playlist where we've done book readings and I pull out each separate book. You know, we've got the full live stream, as well as the segments of the book readings in that playlist, right? So these are the ones that we've picked. I've followed them like this so I know which ones are the ones we've already read, right? These are the numbers, right? These are the numbers. And we got nine more readings we have to do. And these are the names. So usually people have been trying to pick a number. Oh, let me show you what we've got. We've got number 18, we've got number 19, we've got number 17, we've got number 20, we've got number 13, we've got number 11, we've got number 16, wow, 16 to 19, crazy. Number four and number 12, okay. Yeah, go Lee, I automatically associate psychedelics with all the socks, Lee. Yeah, indeed, indeed. Rad and his bicycle, Rad and his bicycle. Pull it, Torino, how are you doing? Gang, what number are we picking? 19, all the God says. We're gonna pick number 19, he says. Let's pick one, let's pick one, let's pick one. And then we gotta pick a page. Let's see, let's see, let's see. Oh, number 12, not number 19. Number 12, number 12. Okay, what's number 12? I totally forgot, check this out. The essential psychedelic guide. I totally forgot that I had this on there. I had the essential psychedelic guide. So we just read the essential psychedelic guide. So right on, right on. And check this out, this one has loose pages. So I picked a lesser, you know, a lower copy to read, to do less damage, right? So we've already read essential psychedelic guide. Number 12, I'm good at trying not to get ripped off by the car, indeed, indeed. Cool, okay. So we've already done this, we've already done this. Apologies, gang, I didn't, I totally forgot. I had put that on there. Elder God too, reading the Iran Contra. This is on Tuesday, gang. This is what we're gonna read on Tuesday. Reading the Iran Contra scandal trading cards, 1988. Extremely important event. Okay, Eclipse Comics ASMR reading Tuesday, February 6th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. PDT, PST, Maitha, Pacific West Coast. In this live stream, we will begin the training, we will begin the reading for the trading cards released by Eclipse Comics in 1988, detailing the Iran Contra affair. Extremely important. Extremely important. Extremely important. Okay. So, number 12 joins the list. Let me put this in here, so we don't lose it. Number 12 is in, number 12 in 1990, 1990, 1990. I felt it coming, number 19, number 19. Let's check it out, let's check it out, let's check it out. What's number 19 anyway? Oh, it's Goudal Esher Bach. Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, let's, let's, let's. Oh, so close, no cigar, number 18. What's number 18? What's number 18? Oh, magic. Magic mysticism and modern medicine. I've actually haven't read this book. I don't know this book. I just, journal of family physician. I just thought it would be, it looked cool. It was on my bookshelf. I'm not even sure where I got it from. I bought it, I'm pretty sure I bought it from a bookstore. Right? Number 18, okay? Irvin Oil, magic mysticism and modern medicine. So let me put this number back in the pile here. Let's put that on there. Let's throw that back in the hats. Okay. Before we begin the reading, let me read the back of this, right? Does anybody know this book? Does anybody know this book? It looks, it looks cool, right? And it's nice just to dive in, dive in books and see what they're about, right? It is entirely possible that many states which we now classify as abnormal, psychotic or even epileptic are manifestations of a higher state of awareness. Very cool beginning. I'm pretty sure I must have read this back to be able to buy it, right? These are glimpses into the lives and heads of many, many who came to Dr. Oil's experimental community health service. Those who in fact compelled him to explore archaic as well as revolutionary new methods of healing. There is a lot we can learn from you doctors and there's a lot you can learn from us. Our teachings were secret about five years ago, but then two stars changed positions in the sky. That was a sign for us to come out and share our knowledge, rolling thunder, Shushan medicine, medicine man. Magic mysticism and modern medicine is a trip from Dr. Irving Oil, the author of the last season's runaway bestseller, The Healing Mind. Cool. Touching Jason, good afternoon. Just got back from a birthday party, ready to chill out. Glad I got the stream. Awesome, awesome. Happy birthday to your friends or family. Salut, salut. I am recently attracted to esoteric books. It challenges our comfort zones. Indeed, 100%, 100%, right?   They're just trying to get us, teach us enough tools so we can function within their systems, right? That's it. That's what I see, right? That's what I see. And I'll tell you one thing about this, okay? Just this thing that says, it could be higher states of awareness, okay? Just because we're just gonna do this reading, we're not gonna do another reading, right? During the Vancouver Film Festival, in the early 2000s, or it might have been late 1990s or something, what about early 2000s, let's say? I went to a Korean movie. It was in smaller theaters, independent theaters. I don't went to this Korean movie. It was a really good movie actually, fantastic movie. And it was being put on, sponsored by the UBC Psychiatric Department or something like this. Now I didn't know this. I just wanted to go see it because it was a Korean movie. And it was about a police officer, okay? I don't know the name of this movie. If anybody knows this, please let us know because I would love to re-watch this movie. It was a really good movie. And I'm gonna give spoilers here. My apologies for giving spoilers because that's the only way I can say what this movie is, right? And get to the punchline of it. That's sort of related to this, I think. So the movie was about a police officer, okay? Korean, it was a Korean movie. A police officer that his wife leaves him. And he's like a sergeant or something like this. He's a detective, I guess. And he's in charge of murders and solving crimes and whatnot, right? And he's had a mental breakdown to a certain degree, right? Because he senses things. So he goes to a crime scene and he acts out what has taken place. And it was one scene where he actually puts himself in a suitcase or a dozen and falls down the stair, rolls himself down the stairs and stuff like this. And he actually does things, hurts himself in a way that the victim was hurt, okay? And he gets pretty intense, right? And all these other Korean police officers looking at him and stuff like this. And he solves these crimes. He sees these things, right? He visualizes, I can't remember if he sees, because I've seen other movies like this, but he sees through the eyes of the victim or through the eyes of the perpetrator of the crime or whatever it is, but he senses that, right? He sees it and he solves those crimes, okay? And he also sees his, he interacts with his wife, but it's an imaginary wife. It is his real wife, right? But it's his perception of what his wife is and his perception of what his wife is and it's imaginary because his wife is not there. His wife is a really nice person, right? In his mind, so he talks to his wife and goes home and his wife is there and there's food, he eats food. He's living a life as if his wife has not left them, but his wife has left them. So it's an imaginary wife, right? And there was a scene in there where he actually cuts off his own ear, okay? So, and he hands it over to a superior, like I'm giving a serious spoiler here, apologies, right? So this was an amazing movie. I love this movie. It was great. And then when the movie finished, people clap because it's a film festival and stuff like this and there's little Q and A after the movie, right? And one of the head of the psychiatric people, professor, comes on to the plat podium and starts talking and stuff like this and then I had smoked a little bit of cannabis going in there and I was nice and chill. I wasn't into, I was by myself. I wasn't into confronting anyone. I would go see at the movie festivals. Most movies I've seen by myself, I'm just going in there to chill, right? So I wasn't into confronting anyone, talking with anyone or anything. I just went there to enjoy the movie. And this Q and A started and I just didn't feel like getting up. I was really just enjoying the moment, right? What year was it? Oh my God, this would have been in early 2000s, early 2000s, okay? I don't know the name of the movie. I wish I knew. It would have been around then. Either late 1990s or early 2000s, okay? So this is a question for movie buffs out there. Now this professor got on there and he talked about the movie and stuff like this and one thing he said, I was so pissed.  Cause the guy got up, the psychiatrist got up and said, you know, the movie was like this, the movie was like, obviously the person was having a mental breakdown and stuff like this. So what we would do with this type of person, we would medicate them, right? His response, his reply, his intervention to this detective solving murders, solving crimes by the ability that he has, right? Was to medicate him because obviously he wasn't living in reality and he had a mental disorder, right?  Obviously, you don't realize that this person has some ability that you do not understand and because you don't understand it, you fear it and because you fear it, you wanna kill it. You wanna medicate it.  This is 24 years, 20 years after the fact. Elder God says he found it. What is that movie? Elder God linked it up on our Gilded Server. I really wanna watch that movie. Where is my Gilded Link? I really wanna watch this movie again. All right? I really wanna watch this movie again. Romanian books. I don't know any Romanian books, first time chat. Apologies if I'm not reading the chat gang. I want to tell that story. Bit of, Touching Jason, bit of searching at two names that pop up are the Chaser and the Saw, I saw the Devil. In case either of those sons, they don't sound familiar. They don't sound familiar. They don't sound familiar. Patre patre patre, well said brother. I've had practice. Yogi, what do you mean he has an ability? He had an ability to solve crimes. He would, there was no, nothing there like that anyone else could find, okay? And he was able to solve crimes with his ability. Right? It's a Hong Kong movie. It's not a Korean movie. So Hong Kong movie, is it? Oh man, no wonder. Always thought it was a Korean movie because it was a little bit messed up, right? It's a Hong Kong movie. Who gang, link it up on our Gilded Server. 24 years of Imagineer arguing in the shower. It's longer for me, brother. It's longer for me, brother. I'm hilarious, hilarious. Right? So I have a serious distaste for the soft sciences to a certain degree, right? And pharmaceuticals as you know. Salute gang, salute. Oh my God, do you remember the way I do? Mad detective, 2007. That seems a little late. No, I wouldn't have been that late. It had to be earlier, 2000s. Maybe mid 2000s, but I don't think it was 2007. Is it Mad Detective? Mad Detective Chinese is a 2007 Hong Kong action film produced and directed by Johnny Tolle and Wei Kefei. Mad Detective was first screened at the 64th Venice International Film Festival and later premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival before being released in Hong Kong on November 29, 2007. Is it that late? Wasn't that late, man? No wonder it was having a hard time. That's what you do with the mind, right? That's why, what do you call it? Personal anecdotes in courtrooms don't hold too much sway, right? I remember it being like this. Really doesn't, it's not evidence, really. Unless you get, well, not collaboration, but cooperation, not cooperation, but multiple people say the same story, right? Gang, before we get into the reading, do not forget, do not forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange, publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital's power to humanity. Something that we desperately, desperately need in our societies. For more information, see wikilees.org, defend.wikilees.org, or countless resources available online. Salute to Julian Gang. Chai K. Bonn is a brilliant detective with a supernatural gift, seeing a person's inner personality or hidden ghost. However, he is forced into retirement after severing his ear and presenting into his retirement box. Yeah, that's the one. That's the one. That's gotta be the one. So 2007, man. Time flies or time doesn't fly. I don't know which way we're going with that one. So 2007, okay, okay. And it showed at the Vancouver Film Festival or it might have been like a special presentation that University UBC was presenting different types of movies from different departments or something. I thought it was a film festival, but maybe it was a sponsored university event or something like this. Very cool. Oh, God, do you remember it? Did you like it? Did you like it? I liked, I loved it. I thought it was a brilliant movie. Really? Yaguli 33, the problem is that doctors usually prescribe medication to hide the symptoms, but it doesn't cure the disease. Indeed, indeed, indeed. Western doctors are, man, this is my personal opinion.  I've seen them do some horrendous damage to many, many people. Many people, many people, family included. Yeah, anyway. Gang, let's do a reading. The underground bestseller, Irving Oil. Magic, mysticism and modern medicine. Journal of a family physician. I also watched at a special release cinema in Nottingham that year. Cool. Gang, what page, what page should we read? What page should we read? And 100% twitching Jason. What page should we read out of this? Okay, and this book was published 1976. And it's the first printing. 1976 is the first printing. What page, what page should we read? Let me give you the table of contents. Rx by Tom. Here, I'll read it here. So table of contents. Rx by Tom, greetings, I guess, as a intro for it, forward. Rounds with Dr. John. Maya, the magic theater, page 15. Moscow, page 97. Back in Bolinas. 109. Afterward, 124. Birth and rebirth, and rebirth. By Dala Chedima, Chedima. Magic, mysticism and modern medicine. Rx, it looks to be a poem. Editor, the journal of, so Tom Greening, editor, the journal of humanistic psychology. What we thinking Maya, Moscow or Dr. John? Yeah, you guys let me know, Padre. Check this out, this is, this looks like a poem. So I'm gonna read this poem first. Okay. It's a two-page poem, Rx. So let's read this while you guys decide on the page. I'll show you this again. Should we go Moscow? That'll make good for a title. Page 97, but let's read the poem first, right? Poor Semilwis, persecuted for imagining germs and claiming they were real. Got himself locked up and I, believing he was right, though never having seen him or a germ got sick. Now I'm told by Dr. Boyle to imagine myself well. Have I made him up, a fantasized physician, materialized by my act of will? Wavik, wavikals, wavikals, aligned to suit my current mood. A curious cure hallucinating health. Quotes, I think, therefore I thrive, end quote. Depending on the thoughts, reality reveals itself to be a dream. The dream and the dreamer blend to one, boundaries that never were, blur into a healing hole. This medical mount bank has cast his spell on me, still clutching my aspirin bottle. I swallow mystery. Magic medicine injected in my heart lights up my tissues till they glow with wonder and my fever breaks, cured of germs and they can'ts, ills. I'll next imagine you dissolve the space between us where my disease, disease stalks and cure our common cold with love. Very cool. Padre says dah, page 97. Elder God, page 97. Interesting, this is related to the essential psychedelic guide, right? Let's go to page 97, gang. Let me have a little sip. So magic mysticism and modern medicine, journal of family physician, Irving Oil. Page 97, Moscow. Report of physicist Victor Ademenko. In telekinetic experiments with Kula Guna, electrostatic fields were noted, quote. It's seen as if unknown forces were at work, end quote. Ability to move material objects with electrostatic forces was of greater interest to physicists than to psychologists. A needle weighing one gram was balanced on a pivot and placed under glass. And Kula Guna was able to generate enough electrostatic force to deflect the needle. It seemed easier for her to move objects when they were under a plastic shield and it seemed that she was able to create an electrically charged field around the objects. This phenomenon occurs spontaneously during electrical storms. Arrangements were made to telecast the phenomenon, but the cameraman freaks and refuses to film the experiment. An example of a physical phenomenon with psychological results, it is possible to train the operator in PK, quote. Just as we train sportsmen, end quote. What are the possible mechanisms? It seems that by an act of will, it is possible to change the electrical potential at the points of acupuncture. This results in a change in the electrical structure of the entire field. Quote, an electric charge can be transferred at will from the acupuncture point to the surface of the object, end quote. This is responsible for the movement imparted to the test objects. Physiological, physiologic parameters of the operator were studied before and after the experiment, heart rate accelerated, EKG showed arrhythmia, cardiac. This limited the time of any PK performance to 30 seconds. Curlian photos of acupuncture points of her palms in resting state showed multicolored sunburst patterns. When she thinks about moving, objects pattern changes to round regular circle of light around the fingerprints, fingertips. The height of the emission decreased, which points to a decrease in the energy field. The blue green color noted at rest changed to a splotchy red in areas where the operator imagines moving the object. The energy quantum in the fingertip corona has been decreased and changed in character. This indicates a change in potential between the fingertips of the operator and the test object. The operator converts psychic tension into electrostatic energy. This changes the surface of the test object and causes it to move. Several different objects were used with variable results. Some objects were able to move 10 gram objects. It is interesting to note that performance improves with practice. If two objects are placed in close proximity, she can move either one at will and leave the other stationary. An electric potential of 10,000 volts per centimeter is recorded between hand and object. Here's a picture, Curlian photo, ammunition of energy from human finger. Conversation in tourist hotel lobby. Check physicists, check physicists, check physicists. The aerograms showed these light projections from the human body about an inch or so above the skin. British mind dynamics magnet. That's the aura, check physicists. We haven't proved that this is the aura, but it would be a reasonable assumption. British mind dynamics magnet. The theosophist teach, the theosophist teach that man emulates four physical bodies. The physical flesh body, the mental body of a finer nature, still physical, the emotional body and the spiritual body, which is the finest of all. Now when we photograph this thing, we are just photographing some other aspect of the physical form, which has nothing to do with the mind or the emotion of the spirit, just some energy emanating from the physical. Are we kidding ourselves? A lot of people are saying that this Curlian photography is not photography, is not photographing the mind or the emotion or the spirit. Check physicists. We are not, we are not able to disprove that it is a physical thing, but it is very difficult to explain all other data on the basis of the hypothesis. A healer was healing a whim, a lamp, lump of old cells on the skin. The healer states, and again, we can't prove this that he was sticking his nails into the acupuncture point in the skin instead of the needles. The next day, the wind was gone. So it looks like the healing was effective, probably through acupuncture. Here is a picture of the energy. He shows a Curlian photo of the healer's fingertips with the orange and blue corona. It was taken at the moment of healing. He describes the apparatus. We have a box built in Czechoslovakia. On top of it is this big copper plate. The circuitry generates 40,000 volts in this copper plate. This is in a photographic dark room with the hands of the healer placed on a photographic plate. The plate is open in the dark and the fingers of the healer is pressed onto the film. The 40,000 volts goes through the hand, down to the legs and into the ground, and the amperage is minuscule. The conversation drifts to psychokinetic phenomenon. Quote, we have recorded an energy potential of two million volts between the lips of a young married couple kissing. Again, no amps. We are dealing with extremely high voltages. If you want to get energy out of the system, you have to transform down to lower voltages, and then you will get kinetic energy output on the other end, amps. If for instance, we transform 2000 volts down to two volts, we receive an energy flow of four amps. You can feel this. The healer feels it in his fingertips. There is actual radiation of energy for this is a physical phenomenon. It is like making a car go. In this major function, in this major function are many little functions like turning the ignition key, creating a spark, transferring the power to the wheels, et cetera. Many minor functions go into making up the main function of imparting kinetic energy to the car. Our bodies are the same. We have many fine functions, and these go into lower and lower frequencies. And all of a sudden, the body walks. This is all one. As soon as you start separating, you are lost. You must accept wholeness, not separation, the unity, everything works as a wholeness and not as separated parts. British Met Dynamics, magnet. As I see it, you can say either everything is physical or everything is spiritual. It doesn't matter. It's all the one substance, just vibrating at different rates. There's only one substance you see in different manifestations. Words are so limiting here. A German engineer. You can buy these machines on the open market in America. The Curlian photo device. It is more a pseudo Curlian device. It's a beauty electrolysis machine. It is used to take out the hair on the face of a woman and it makes 20,000 volts in the treatment rod. You connect the wire to a copper plate from this rod in a dark room and lay Polaroid color film on the plate. Press the finger onto the film and run the current for 60 seconds. Check physicists. You can run the wire from the rod to the metal Polaroid color pack.  This bioplasmic energy, which is being photographed, is the ground substance of the cosmos. It is pure vibration, which by lowering its frequency becomes the entire electromagnetic spectrum. And by lowering it, still further becomes matter. Check physicists. Physically speaking, you cannot receive any frequency unless you are attuned to it. You can't get an FM station on an AM radio receiver. The whole question revolves down to what you got that you can receive. If you can alter the frequency of your receiving organism, you can get interesting results. The higher the frequency, you tune to the finer are your results. The frequencies manifest by the vibrating bioplasmic energy are endless. There are those who say that we have seven sub bodies with fine, finer, and finest vibrating rates. I believe this to be incorrect. It is like looking through an electron microscope. The further you magnify, the more there is to see. It is infinite. When we speak of frequency, we imply different dimensions of reality. That jar represents a frequency rate, which we call the world of atoms and matter. In any case, we no longer recognize the concept of physical things. Materialization can take place under certain conditions, but even in the material state, everything is a manifestation of this energy, this force, this concept of separating existing material, things is an illusion. The smallest particle of the ultimate reality seems to be vibrating between energy and matter. It is called a waveicle, part wave and part particle. In terms of matter, it vibrates between existing and non-existence. Now you see it, now you don't. Force and form are the two ultimates. All existence vibrates between these two poles. The Russian showed doctor Tiller a leaf which had been cut in half. Curlian photos of the leaf that showed the half which had been cut away maintained this original shape in the Curlian photos, even though it was no longer physically present. Dr. Tiller believes that this only occurs at certain frequencies at the harmonics. American Professor of Engineering. It stands to reason you're basically lighting up an energy, like lighting a light bulb. If you hit it with the right amount of energy, it lights up. You are talking about an energy envelope which exists whether the physical piece is there or not.  This is an analogy which makes sense. American doctor. Another analogy would be phantom pain where you get strong impulses from amputated limb. Engineering professor, exactly. Because the energy envelope is still there, isn't this an energy transmission? The pain is a communication, apparently from the envelope. When you speak of communication that puts us back on a common basis, which we can then use. Check physicists. In our country, we are interested in potential uses for this energy. It is definitely different and infinitely more powerful than electricity. If we had the proper tools, we could measure the amount of energy required for a plant to grow one inch. We could measure the energy frequency of an insect. We believe this is the energy which was harnessed by the pyramids. It is a newly discovered energy source, the energy of the universe. It is radiated to us by the sun and stars. Our bodies absorb it like a sponge and we then transform it into a suitable frequency so that it works. This may sound strange, but I even heard a yogi say this. The chakras are involved in this. An American doctor at a site. Check physicists. The energy was always there 2,000, 100,000 years ago. Like electricity, it was always there. The problem is to concentrate it, direct it. We don't produce electricity. We concentrate something which was always there. Look, we can get power from a vacuum because air likes to rush into it.  The electricity which is bound likes to become free again and it can do this by passing through a motor, an electric motor. This is a energy system. If we could do this with the energy which comes from the stars, use it like we use electricity. We could measure the frequencies of stones, plants or anything you like. You could measure the pulse of a fly. It would then become clear that our bodies are structurally and functionally. Bodies are structurally and functionally. The Czech people realize that electricity is a limited source of power. You cannot use it for everything. You cannot use it for growth, but think of the power of growth. American doctor, growth is an energy transformation. We transform the energy of the sun into protoplasm, into the matter of our physical bodies, so to speak. Czech physicists, there are billions of stars out there and they all radiate energy. Let us assume that our physical body, let us assume that our physical body, as we see it, has seven finer bodies. The finest body has the same frequency as do the stars. That is what connects us to the cosmos. We absorb the energy when we attract it by vibrating at the same frequency. Then we transform it. British men, dynamics, magnet. Did you say we had seven bodies? Czech physicists, in our sun system, everything is in terms of seven. There are other sun systems. The factor is 12 in many of them. In music, if the tone is not in harmony with the one in a higher octave, you get this dissonance, which has destructive effect. British men, dynamics, magnet. I don't understand that. Czech physicists, this harmony creates waves of destructive nature. American doctor, this harmony destroys the form and releases the energy. Cosmic force becomes molded into form, which it must destroy in order to create new forms. Czech physicists, like fire in which the trapped energy becomes free again. Someone mentioned work in Italy where they are photographing thoughts and taking pictures of the past. The work is highly secret because they are on the verge of fulfillment and do not want to arouse premature publicity. An English lady states that she can believe, she can believe anything but that. She has advised that it is not a matter of belief, but one of investigation to determine the truth. It is suggested that if consciousness sufficiently expanded, the past and the future are seen to be functions of the present, extensions of the present instead, which contains all time. If we can get above our three dimensional finite body and mind, like in an airplane, we can see past, present and future at the same time. The ancient prophets went back into their minds at night so they could see into the future. They understood there is only one time and that is the now. English lady, I don't doubt that they can see into the future. I just don't think one can photograph the future. British mind, dynamics, magnet, what's the difference? If you can see into the future, you can't, why can't you photograph it? English lady, I can't imagine how they would actually do it, check physicists, on what does the future depend? This involves the concept of karma. A thought is a living substance. Maybe thousands are produced each minute. Each has its own existence and creates its own reality at the same time. The future is born at the same instant as the thought. American doctor, thoughts program the bio-computer. The bio-computer projects the hologram we call reality. Whatever series or arrangements we make with our thoughts actually create the hologram, reality. It manifests faithfully, like protoplasma manifesting the DNA code in genetics. The bio-computer is the brain and the printout is on the consciousness, check physicists. From the beginning to end, we are creators. That is our God-like aspect. We need this understanding in order to achieve perfection in our creations. This is where we are leaning. This is why we are here. American engineering professor, do we create or do we reflect a creative energy? Check physicists. If we create an ignorance, then we suffer through illness, accidents, and so forth. Thought forms always crystallize into our experience. This is a cosmic law. British mind dynamics magnet, magnet. I certainly agree with that. We are a creative force. We do it with the power of our minds to make images. Those images become reality so we can create anything we want, actually, through the force of our own imagination. Nice read, nice read. There's one thing here that we read, check this out. This part. Let's check this out. If we can get above our three-dimensional infinite body and mind, like in an airplane, we can see past, present, and future at one time. This is something that you experience with psychedelics. This is something that I put a video out. I did an analogy with the cornfield. Basically, I was talking about, I believe I put out that segment. I think I put it out anyway. It's called the cornfield analogy. And I was talking about psychedelics and why drugs, entheogens, psychedelics, psychoactives have, governments have made them illegal. Meaning, the reason is, is because it gives us a higher perspective, right? So the analogy I used was, if you've ever walked in a cornfield, I have. I did that in geophysics, hydrogeology, stuff like this. When you walk in a cornfield, you're okay up to here. Cornfield, cornfield, cornfield, cornfield, cornfield. As soon as the cornfield goes above your eyesight where you can see you're lost, your whole ability to navigate is gone, right? If you're able to go above the cornfield, then your navigation is there, right? So that's why you go uphill if you're ever lost in a cornfield. Go up so you can get a higher perspective and at least see where you are, right? So my analogy was, the reason that drugs have been criminalized in the Western world, most of the world, is because they give us a higher perspective on reality. And this is sort of, was going in that direction, which I really thought was pretty damn cool, right? Interesting read, interesting read. Don't know where that phase came from. Shh. Thank you, Cho. What's the book? What's the big book to your left? This guy? Golden Dawn. The complete Golden Dawn system of magic. We did some readings on this. And by the way, I saw Irishman. You were giving out a gifting tier one subs. Salute for gifting tier one subs. Apologies, I was in the middle of the reading. I didn't want to interrupt. But salute, Irishman. Gifted tier one subs to nano-nexus, commander Gary, Arno, Arno, third, Arno, third. Pink QB and Gnar kill, 78. Salute, salute, salute. Thanks, brother. I look out and I'm transforming, listening to this stream. Hilarious, fun. That was a good read. I like this. That was pretty cool, actually. Right on for Moscow. I don't know why Moscow came into play in this. This was book number 18. Book number 18, let's put it back. Which is pretty cool. We put it, we had Wilhelm Reichenhau. The order here is Wilhelm Reichenhau. The Bible, the Oran, magic, mysticism, and modern medicine. And then we got Gouda Lecherbach and Time and the Technosphere. Nice, nice. You can borrow the book on this link in readable format. Oh, you got the book in readable format. Excellent, excellent. You rock. Gerber, yo, yo, what's up, chicho? Been a while, glad to be back in here. Salute, welcome back, welcome back. Padre, padre, padre. I like the thought that you had to be vibrating at a certain frequency to receive that frequency. Yeah, that was super cool. You can't receive an FM frequency on an AM dial. So you have to be tuned in to be able to receive a certain signal, right? Super simple concept, right? But bang on, that was really cool, actually, Padre. That was super cool, right? That's why people say, are you listening to me? Are you listening to me? Can you hear me? Are you tuned in to me? Maybe that's the switch that. Are you listening to me? Can you hear me too? Are you tuned in to me?  Are we at the same frequency? Maybe the hippie's at it. I don't know. But that's pretty cool. I thought that was pretty good, right? That's why maybe when people do, as D.M. Turner mentioned, when you do ecstasy with a small group of like-minded people, close friends, it amplifies the feeling. Same goes with mushrooms, right? And if you're, especially mushrooms, if you're on a mushroom trip in an environment where you're not vibing with people, oh, wow, wow, that's nastiness, right? Evil to hope, I choose. Salute, evil to hope. Hope you're doing well, hope you're doing well. That was fun. That was fun.  They were onto something, but they lost it. They lost it, right? There was a handful of them that remained true to the calling, but there weren't that many to begin with, I don't think, right? Like, people talk about the, from what, I've read a little bit about this, people talk about the 60s, you know, everyone vibing, blah, blah, blah, but that was only in pockets. Majority of the United States and Canada was still not the hippie culture, right? They weren't really, they sold out, bro, they sold out, they sold out. Again, there wasn't that many of them, right? They weren't pockets, but if, and one of the main pockets was San Francisco, but look at the shit coming out of San Francisco, right? Is that from the hippie culture or is that hijacked, right? I don't know. Evil tool, like tripped on shrooms with people who weren't having a good vibe. It went from one of the best to the worst experiences real fast. Yeah, that's what mushrooms does.  Same with LSD, turn on you so fast.  I would do it again, would do it again. What about Woodstock? Woodstock was, there were people that died in Woodstock, right? The Hell's Angels with the bodyguards. There were some people that died in Woodstock. You know, there was lots of lovely, things happening, but there was some nasty stuff going on too. Were there a lot of people there? Yeah, but that's, you're talking all of the United States, take it all to one music festival and the hardcores would have been migrating to that, right? How big was Woodstock relative to the entire United States? Not that everybody went there, but there was a lot of people there, right? Look at Woodstock 99, clearest case of selling out of everything. Yeah, I didn't, that was like vomit inducing, right? That was the wacko. And look at that, look at the people, some of those musicians, look at, what do you call it? Neil Young, what a clown. Man, I used to like Neil Young.  Smallest, still very small percentage, very small percentage. That's why I burnt down. That's why I burnt down. Gang, should we call the stream? Should we call the stream? Good two readings and crazy. We picked number, what was it, number 12? The same book that we did. Thanks, you're my pleasure, my pleasure able to hope. Gang, let's do our little outro. I don't think we did an intro. If you want to know what this work is about, we are on Patreon, subscribe, subscribe, star. You can definitely follow the work there. We do have a Gilded server. You're definitely welcome to join us on our Gilded server, Sponio, Salute, Be Safe, lot to love, lot to love, and share information, talk freely. We are live streaming on Twitch, on Rumble, and on SensorTube, and hopefully live streaming on Odyssey and Bichute sooner rather than later. We are recording this on a lapel mic, and I will be uploading the audio of this live stream to soundcloud.com for slash chicho as a podcast.

I hope you guys have a fantastic next couple of days. Don't forget on Tuesday, we're gonna be not here, but where we do comic book readings, trade card readings, and we're gonna start reading the Iran Contra affair trading cards. Okay, let's see how far we get at those. Salut everyone. Padre, everybody have a nice end to the weekend, and have a great week, indeed, indeed. Bye.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering NAB 2017, brought to you by HGST. Welcome back to NAB. Good afternoon, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE Live at day three of NAB. Happy to introduce you to our next guest, Shalindra Mathur, the VP of Architecture at Avid. Shalindra, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. You were telling me off camera that this is your eighth or ninth NAB. I loved it before we kind of dig into Avid and what you're doing. Just get your perspective on the incredible transformation you've probably seen in those eight years. What are some of the things that stand out to you that maybe seemed like a fad seven or eight years ago that you've seen that are now absolutely well-established and critical to the media and entertainment industry? Well, you know what, one thing I'll comment on right away is something I've been commenting to other folks who haven't been here that long. When we used to come to NAB some time ago, outside in the parking lot would be all these trucks. There'd be all these helicopters, right? That's how news broadcasts, this was done. The parking lot is empty. That's not where things are. They're drones in here, in cages, right? I mean, that's the new way, the digital age, as well as the new technologies have evolved that the way we collect news and the way we actually capture news is actually changing quite a bit. So that equipment is changing quite a bit. Yes, yes. So you spoke at the virtual NAB conference last month on cloud transition patterns for media enterprises. Tech trends, what are some of the things that you're seeing? What did you share in that conference? So the biggest tech trend I think we're seeing is the move to cloud computing. Cloud has been around for a while. We've all been used to it, whether we're using Dropbox or any other mechanism of exchanging content. What's happening is that it's now being adopted by the media industry a lot more. And again, what we knew as server-based computing, you had machine rooms where servers were being created, were being hosted. There was dedicated connectivity between them. A lot of that is now moving to network and it's the compute storage. All of that is slowly moving over to the cloud. And the cloud providers are actually making it very possible to do so. So a lot of what I was talking about at the VNAB conference was how some of these broadcasters who are faced with these new challenges and to get more efficient, to have geographically distributed productions, what patterns they can actually adopt to ease their transition to the cloud. So just as an example, in the cloud, there's a efficiency of doing something called serverless computing, microservices. But then there's a lot of IP, a lot of server-based compute that has been built up. So there is a transition pattern still of going from machine room to data centers. That's a central localization and just using virtualization technologies, going from data centers now to the public cloud. And in fact, even doing it in such a way that you're connected in all three environments so that if you wanted to transition over, you can actually connect all these three environments. So that was the main purpose of the talk and I was talking about some of the implementations that we have done as well with an Avid that actually eases that transition so that you can host your server processes, your how actually editing clients are working across. We've actually done a lot of implementations. I was explaining how that transition can be possible for not just broadcasters but filmmakers and also audio artists. Yeah, I wanted to talk about audio. We've been talking a lot about film, the major studios at the conference this week, news, broadcast news, streaming services. But you guys do a lot with audio and music production. What are some of the biggest pain points that you see in music production that can really be alleviated by moving to cloud computing? So artists are artists everywhere. You will find artists, you don't want to be restricted by geography in finding the person you want to collaborate with. What does cloud provide? That one centralized location where you can exchange information, exchange your creativity. So this is one of the areas where we focused on, so we have Pro Tools as our primary audio DAW and what we enabled was having two artists collaborate with each other even by sharing tracks. So you could have somebody doing a guitar riff somewhere, a drummer somewhere, a singer somewhere and you're collaborating on these tracks and we're using the cloud to exchange a lot of this information back and forth. You can message each other, hey, I need this piece of work done. They record it, you integrate it back. So that was a perfect example of cloud collaboration and this is aimed at the aspiring musicians who can collaborate as well as professionals. So look, thinking maybe of the professionals and music production company, what does their transition, as the VP of architecture, I imagine you speak with a lot of customers who are probably quite influential in what Abbott's doing from a design and R&D perspective. What is a music production company's transition to production in the cloud look like? What are the, I don't want to say hurdles, but what are maybe the steps in that journey to get to cloud? Is it a destination hybrid? Is it a journey through hybrid to public? So that's what, so some of the current restrictions, I'll call it, will slowly disappear but the fact is when you're interacting as an artist with a surface controller, a mixer, that's tactile information, that's right there. However, what doesn't need to happen is that the computations that happen behind it doesn't have to be right here. With network connectivity, you can start moving that away from the control that you have over what you're creating, your mixers. So this is where some of the compute is moving away. Now, you have to take, especially in audio latency is very important, like low latency, so low latency networks have to be there. On the video side, in fact we're showing video editing being done directly on the cloud. With VDI technology, which is virtual display technology, improving so rapidly now, we are actually able to do editing directly while instead of having a workstation on-premises, you actually have it running on the cloud. So those are examples which are hurdles but they're not really hurdles. That's just creative choices. You need to have your color correction surface control here but slowly those are the ones that are moving to the centralized data center all the way to the cloud and now even some of the display aspects where you needed everything to be local, that's also moving. So things like GPU-based compute that's appearing on a lot of the cloud providers that's allowing your cloud back end to drive your displays now remotely. Last question for you before we wrap up here. I'd love to understand how Abbott is involved from a technology perspective to help broadcast news, for example, assemble a story and get it out in real time 24 by seven. In contrast to a few years ago here at NAB when the parking lot was full of trucks with satellite towers, how are you helping to assemble the story with technology? Well, so news is changing, right? It's news is changing, it's coming in rapidly. A lot of the news sources are in fact, sometimes social feeds. I'll confess, some of my news in the morning is not by the newspaper, I'm checking my Facebook. Yeah, Twitter. And that's where I'm getting, or Twitter and that's where I'm getting my news. Absolutely. It's mixed in with my own personal news as well as news is news. So collecting that information that's become a very important source of information. Of course, storytelling as a journalist doesn't get replaced. You still need the skills of making sure that you can craft it all together. So that's where assembling it, telling that story through an editorial process but treating just the social media feed as an input to the whole process of collecting this information. This is one change that's happening. But of course, it's not just social media as a source but it's also destination. That's another big change. So you're not just publishing out your story to a news outlet, you can tweet it out. So these are all changes that are happening and these are all, you asked about how are some of the customers influencing it. We just had the AvidConnect event and one of the things that we find really good about the AvidConnect event, these are our customers telling us how they're changing. This how we're collecting input and reacting to it and changing what we need to do to serve them. Excellent. Well, I'm curious what you'll see in the next eight years of NAB Schillender. Thank you so much for joining us on theCUBE and sharing your insights. Well, thank you very much Lisa. And we want to thank you for watching theCUBE. Again, we're live at NAB 2017 on day three. I'm Lisa Martin. Stick around, we'll be right back.
