So hello again, everybody. I am the Fedora Operations Architect. This presentation is about the Fedora Operations Architect, where I come from, what I'm doing, what I'm going to do, and kind of anything else that you want to ask. So without further ado, first thing is first. Why would the project need an Operations Architect? So all good things sometimes start from bad place, and the Fedora project found itself with a fair amount of uncertainty earlier this year. A lot of sad, bad things happened. We don't need to go into it all again because it's just upsetting. We've come out stronger the other side, but I just wanted to acknowledge that, you know, there was some layoffs, et cetera, that put the future of the project in just a little bit of troubled times. But like I said, the Fedora project is quite resilient. It's made of a lot of people who are willing to help one another, willing to pull through into the bad times, and people are willing to help.  And that's an incredible place to be. And it paid dividends. F39 was still released, and a huge, huge congratulations to everybody who was involved. It was quite a tough release. There was a lot of key people missing for it, but people banded together and they got the head down, and F39 was released. So kudos to that. But like I said, you know, because it was a tough release, I don't think anybody wanted to repeat that. So an Operations Architect was how we were going to pull forward through the project. And it is how we would replace gaps that were left in the project. But what is it? So it's a new term, and I don't think it existed in the project before this. There is a lot of familiarities from a previous position that was held by Ben Cotton. God rest him. It looks a lot like the Fedora program management position. A lot of it is responsible for those things, the change process, including the announcements, the triaging, making sure that everything is in place, the bulk tracking that goes with it. To be honest, you could do the change process as a job on its own. It is that wide. So I could see what this was needed to be looked after. There's also the elections and the reporting that the Fedora program manager used to do. That's still important to the project. One of the key cornerstones of it, and they still have to continue. They continue into the elections and reporting. Excuse me, I need to take a drink. Man, it was one of those days. Anyway, like I was saying, so elections reporting, the Fedora Friday Facts will be resumed effective next week for sure. It is a really useful piece of information that Ben used to send out. And I'm happy to continue that legacy. There's also the release coordination will be a part of the Fedora operations architect position as it was with the Fedora program management. A lot of moving parts in the Fedora project twice a year, every year. So it does need somebody that will just oversee everything, make sure that people are talking to the right teams at the right times. Deadlines can come up really fast, especially the change checkpoints. If those deadlines are not being monitored and there's a lot of change processes, things can slip through the cracks. And I think that was one of the biggest issues that the Fedora project faced with the F39 release. So that all falls in under the release coordination. And then also council coordination. I know Ben played a huge part in making sure that the council meetings were productive and they kept on track and there was an agenda, etc. And that is a job in itself as well. From somebody who's had a lot of experience with administration and secretary of work and bookkeeping. You'd be surprised how needed one person is to just keep everybody else on track. So council coordination will continue as part of the Fedora operations architect role. But there might be some other new stuff that I am happy to get involved with. You know, we now use discourse as a means of communication and discussion. That will need to be moderated. There's a lot of vocal people on the discourse chat channels and that's wonderful to see. But we don't want to get contentious and upset people. So there will be moderation to make sure that the language people are using is correct. And everybody feels in a safe space to share their opinion without being attacked. But also, you know, topics need to be closed. Some things are not relevant anymore. It definitely could do with a little TNC around optics and UI. So not only moderating the conversation, but also the actual site itself. And with the team of people like not one person owns discourse. And I know you don't either, but to clear spell it out. So we'll be looking to adopt a discourse team that will help with this moderation and that kind of stuff. I also want to help with the Fedora events when I need it. I love event planning, love scheduling, things like this. So happy to help Justin and others. And I know there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes where maybe like other events. Planning team, you know, the DEI team have a lot of stuff coming up. And the creative freedom summit also has roots in Fedora. So I'm happy to get involved in those kind of areas too. Because I have a background with as a product owner, a lot of that may still be appropriate in this role. And like I said, with the release coordination, a lot of moving parts in Fedora. There is sometimes a need for somebody to act as a sort of product owner that will go and speak to adjacent teams or teams within Red Hat that are using Fedora that might have work that they're doing that has either effect on the project or they want to see something in the project, but they're not really sure how to get involved. The operations architect will be there to help kind of guide them through our processes and make sure that they're adhering to our standards. And also just to as a signpost person to point them to the right teams that, you know, if they're getting involved with KDE, that they know that they can speak to the KDE SIG or the insert many SIGs here. I'm just trying not to even think about. But also the change process would have similar to requirements, gathering stuff that you would see in a product owner style role as well to vet those processes too. And as of yesterday, I will be assisting with the Fedora legal issue tracking. Not to be super clear, I cannot comment or approve anything legal. Not a lawyer, but I am more than happy to be that point person that will accept the issues that will make sure that they're being processed along to the right teams, the right people working with maybe the internal folks at Red Hat, that if they're not an actual legal issue that they don't just sit in a queue and never to be reported on again, that I will bring that information back out to the requester so that there's a constant flow of information and things continuously move. They don't just hit blocker after blocker after blocker until they die. So I'm happy to kind of be that flow through the legal side of things, adjacent teams, helping with discourse, et cetera. So that could be some new things that may not have been part of the program manager role but should be part of the operations role because we're trying to encompass the entirety of the project. And basically anything else that needs doing. So if you do need help, I might not be able to fix the problem, but I am happy to listen. I'm happy to figure out who maybe you should talk to instead to fix it. I seem to know a lot of people in a lot of places, so don't ever feel shy of reaching out and asking, hey, I'm doing this thing on my workstation and it's not working. Do you know how I can fix this? Probably not. I don't come from a technical background, but I can certainly point you to the at the door part of discourse, maybe to a matrix room that I know has people working on this issue in. Directly 10. Any number of bugger issue trackers are the common bugs page. So also if you need help and you're not really sure about how to handle a situation or if you just want to talk, please do reach out to me. I seem to be kind of a good person to be able to get weird things that fit in a gray area that nobody knows what to do with it. So I think that kind of brings me, yeah, that brings me to the end of the like, this is the job that I'm in, Spiel. I hope it's making sense. I have my screens minimized so I can't really see much of the comments, but I'm assuming you'll be kind. Okay, so yeah, everything looks fine. Who am I? Who am I? And what do I do? Well, we've already spoken about what I do. It's me, Mario. No, obviously not.  So I was sitting down to tidy up these slides last night and I was like, oh, that would be funny. I had a Mario Cart one as well, but my partner advised me to maybe take it out. Anyway, I am based in Waterford, Ireland. It is known as the sunny southeast, but like this is our sunshine here, folks. See all those cards? Yeah, I'd love to know who thought that name was appropriate. Anyway, I am a fluent swearer. I will try not to because this is recorded and I do feel a little bit bad.  Even though she probably say, if for sake, what are you swearing for the irony? I do have 14 years or so customer service of every kind, which I will show you. And then Matthew can ask all of his aviation questions that he wants. And I'm also a mother, a sister, a daughter, a partner and probably a person of interest. What I have done in my life to reach this point, I felt like writing a little CD. I did in fact spend two weeks wrapping presents at a department store in Waterford.  I'm 16 at this point. It's my first kind of like job job. I paid cash, of course.  But people really kind of ran away with the idea. So like I was handed two sets of wrapping paper. There was the fancy wrapping paper for the perfumes and the cosmetics that are being bought, but only, you know, of a certain brand. So like your Chanel's, your Dior's, your, you know, that kind of stuff. No problem. If you're buying LaRielle, no, use the regular wrapping paper. But yeah, this guy came in one day and bought a fire guard. I don't know whether that translates where everybody knows what that means, but it's if you have an open fire and it's just literally the piece that goes in front of it. And yeah, I had to wrap that for him. He was buying it for his grandmother. You're not, you're not buying it for anyone. You just want this wrapped. But fine. I was getting paid nonetheless.  So I think after that they got very strict on what, what, what could be wrapped and what couldn't be wrapped. Because I had to request more wrapping paper.   So then I got a little sign saying present. These are the types of presents that we can, we can wrap. So that was funny. Ten years as a passenger services agent. So I will stop here for questions. Because I know Matthew surely has one. How do, okay. There are three questions so far. I will get to the get forage one at the end. That deserves a little bit more conversation. We'll stick to the funny stories one for now. The four operations comparing to a small airport. Funny you ask. So the small airport has was quite busy at times. At other times it was quite quiet and it was peaceful. It was nice to be there. But at times it wrapped up, which was like time. And I will liken that to release times. Most of the time the Fedora project is nice and things tip away quite calmly. And you know, there's people have time to think and process things. But every so often twice a year there's the release and it's all panic. All systems go. You have to meet a deadline. Make sure that the manifests are correct. Make sure that the bags are tagged. Make sure that the RCs are correct and make sure that all the bugs are tracked. Like there are a lot of comparisons. So I would liken that to that. The airport is funny because there was a small number of people working there. And if one person got sick, there wasn't a million people to like row in and help out. So I remember there was one day that we would have three kind of stations to be covered by a passenger service station. So you'd have your information desk, which would kind of cover, you know, reservations and general queries or. Yeah, general queries. Then you'd have your check-in desk, which is what I would have usually done, which would be processing all of the passengers as you come in and you check your bags. And they all have command line systems as well, by the way. The whole thing was was all through a command line. So it was all. It was all commands. It was all like, it was all logic that I had to write in, which was interesting. And then there was obviously the security, which was more of a hands-on like, you know, is there any liquids and gels in your bag? Are you wearing a vest? Are you wearing any jewelry? Is there any change in your pocket? That kind of thing. There was one day that the person who was supposed to be on security called in sick and the information desk person was sick. So it was just me who was supposed to be on check-in. There was 70 or 80 people on the flight. And I had to cover the entire three stations. And you had to board the flight as well. So that was a time crunch. I would compare that to the latest Fedora release in there. There were go-no-go meetings when there was people out of sick. And there was spots that needed to be filled. And, you know, there was the same people doing all of the different jobs in a certain, in a certain amount of time, trying to make it work. The flight didn't get, the flight didn't get delayed that day. The flight left. The release happened. We all breathed a sigh of relief. And we all made changes to make sure that nobody was that uncomfortable or that under pressure again. So that, I hope that kind of answers a little bit of that one. I spent two years as a reservations agent at the Waterford Castle Hotel. So that was an interesting experience. I met a lot of different people, a lot of high-brow people with low-brow money. They weren't just high classes, they thought they were. But it was nice. It, I learned a lot. I learned a lot of how to work with very difficult people. That's kind of where my whole, like, people are full, the world is full of bad people. Let's not be one to each other because some, I found that to be a very challenging place to work together. But it did set me up to be able to deal with other challenging people because you have to be able to work as a team and just get through it. Two years then as a office coordinator at Red Hat, which was where I was first introduced to this concept of open source and open source. The way that Red Hat was doing it. And I did touch out in Fedora, but I didn't really understand the Fedora project until I became the professional cat-header of the community platform engineering team. And that really did expose me to the Fedora community properly. And I loved it. I said in my opening remarks yesterday, and I'll say it again today, I instantly felt at home in this community. I can't explain why. It's just one of these feelings that I got. I got it when I started at Red Hat and I got it when I started working with the Fedora community. Worked with one or two other communities that I didn't have that, like, nice feeling with, but I just kind of felt understood. So I am now exclusively working with the Fedora community and I could not be happier. Who are in my spare time, have a son Charlie, so I spend it with him, spending with him right now, even though he doesn't know it and doesn't care. I know he does. I have a family who I'm very close with, my partner, Evan, who's beside me, and some friends. We attend a lot of weddings. We have a big friend group and everybody was getting married the last couple of years, except for the COVID part. So we've been, we've been asked more weddings than I'd say some people have had hot dinners this year. If you ever need occasion where people of the Fedora, of the Fedora community, I'm a good person to send address if you need it. But we have lots of ponies as well. This is where most of my free time goes and my partner Evan will vouch for that. Even though I'm at a soccer match, I have spent the last three and a half hours outside with the ponies, which is why my face is a little bit flushed. We have Vanessa, Magic, Paddy, Victor, because ponies are continued. Phillip. Nula is the pony, and this is my niece, Amy, in the red jacket. This was her winning the National Under-12 Championships this year. We couldn't have been prouder. Phillip is a sensory pony. So he doesn't like a lot of noises and commotion. And that's a sensory mask that he wears to kind of make him a little bit more at ease. And we love him. He is so cute. We also have Josh, who's a superstar. He is our top pony in the yard for sure. He's one of my son's favorites, although to be fair, Charlie's favorite is Phillip. But Josh is the second and then Joe. And Joe was fifth in the Under-16 National Championships this year. So we were extremely proud there as well. So that's, how many is that? That's eight. There are more. I did vet this slide deck with my niece and my son earlier. And they're like, what about Sharon? What about Darren? What about them? They were listing off all the ponies. They're like, no, I'm just going to stick to the ones that are like the main ones. We also have two dogs as well. They're in the yard. They technically belong to my sister, but they're kind of like, they're everybody's pooches. This is Nashor. He is completely fine. He fell asleep in his food, but he kept eating it. Lightning. He's not quite as dangerous as that. He couldn't be more softer, but they are best friends. And I think that is kind of who I am, what I do.  I'm not going to say that everything happens for a reason because we know that that's not really that true, but write the right thing for you. If it's truly right, if it's truly yours, I do believe doesn't pass you. And like I said, I used a swear word yesterday and I won't today. But the world has enough bad people in it and we do not need to be bad to each other. We can show kindness and it costs us nothing. So that's it. Hope it wasn't too preachy or boring. My contact details are there. You can reach me via email, on matrix, on IRC. They're kind of the main ones. I hope you enjoyed this short introduction. I'm sorry if I spoke for way too long, but I will go to the Q&A. All right. So I like your question, Benson. I'll start with the pony ones first. How many ponies is too many ponies? Two is lovely. Three is getting messy. We have multiples. So many ponies. And it sounds really silly of like, oh, how can you have too many ponies? You can have too many ponies when you have to do all of those stables. That's when it gets a lot. All of the stables, all of the feeding, all of the exercise.  Three is too much. Six is right out. One is too little. Do we have pony data? Yes, they all have passports. So like the ones that most ponies will have passports actually, yeah. Our ones have passports. They have their national identity part of it. But they also have international sections of it too.  The app. So there is a national show jumping SJI.ie. They have all of the shows listed and they have all of the riders and all of the ponies. So they have loads of data stored in a database. It hurts my eyes every time I have to use it. It is just so not intuitive. I'd love to tear the whole thing down and give it to some people working in open source because they would have this thing singing if they could. I have so many ideas for it. But yeah, ironically they do. Proved it really criss. Can't I explain the offside rule in soccer? Yes, but only using handbags. I'll make it quick. And I don't remember how I saw this. I think my mother explained this to me. So if you are waiting and my partner is shaking his head, it's like you can't wait to hear this. But apparently you're waiting in a line for a handbag that goes on sale. And you're waiting in a line and another person is waiting in a line as well. And then the handbag goes on sale. If you move before your friend has thrown your purse to you, then that's offside because you both have to go together. Does that make sense? That's how I understand it anyway. Right. So let's talk quickly about the Get Forged future. So I am speaking with wearing my old CPE product, community platform engineering product owner hat on. I know there are some folks in that team who are running an investigation currently about all of the integrations that the services that build and release Fedora Linux and only talking about build and release services right now. They are investigating how many of those are very tightly coupled with PagerDiscuit. How much work they would be to reconfigure to be a bit more agnostic and how many of them would need to be completely rewritten. So they're trying to determine whether there's services that could just have a bit of maybe they need a config change or maybe they need new API mapping or something to integrate with PagerDiscuit in certain Get Forged here and points forward and how many then are just completely customly written for PagerDiscuit. When they have the results of that investigation, I think that will set us up for a much better idea of the body of work that we as a project would have to do to move off the current Get Forged. I'm disinclined to say anything more about that until we kind of really understand what we're working with. But the future of it will certainly be that once we have the results of that investigation, then as my job as the operations architect, I will be acting in that kind of product owner way and gathering some requirements, et cetera, from other working groups and stakeholders within the project to make sure that we are now getting a wider picture. When we know what we're dealing with build and release, let's get a wider picture then of the requirements for that. It is moving. We are still going to maintain it. I do apologize. No, it's not directly my fault, but I do apologize anyway because this started with the bang and has never really resolved, but I hate leaving loose ends. So I will make sure that you have somebody to kind of follow it now. So I will be making sure that this has a resolution. I promise that it will be in the short term, but it certainly will be used out soon. T.M. Aware with a virus. The referee is using Linux. I don't know. They might have to make a custom directory for that one. Okay. So I'm going to end it there. I think I've spoken way too much. Apologies for that. And yeah, hope you enjoyed it. It was lovely talking to you. You know where to find me if you need me.


What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here still about screen six in this video here today Going over some comments Jen or take a hat related to her character Tara Carpenter What we can expect from the character in the upcoming sequel that it set in New York and also touch on a theory of mine related to Roman Bridger and this stuff viewer and I'll put out and how I can see this fact you need to scream six But just to touch on Jen or take it really quick Jen or take I had an interview recently with deadline Well, they were asking like 20 questions or something like that They brought up scream six and these were her comments She said they were shooting in Montreal and it was lovely She said but it was just a lot more intense and it says here or take a especially in George fleshing out her character this time around After her first go around in screen five. She was only ever crying and screaming on the floor So on this second one, I had to interact with my other castmates and give her some sort of a personality those comments make me very open or very Excited to see what they're gonna do with Tara in scream six I know a lot of people myself included think that even though the Carpenter sisters bond was Very heartwarming in that fifth movie Tara definitely was relegated to the sidelines Due to of course what happened in the opening her spending most of the movie in the hospital So getting to see her up and about and a lot more involved this time around with Sam is definitely I say going to make that duo a lot more enjoyable to just see them together because I really do think that they are a Good pairing when it comes to playing on-screen siblings I think those two have great chemistry and Tara herself knowing that she is friends with The targets in screen five it did feel a little weird to not see her interact with them as much as we Got to see them interact with each other at the party and then of course in the earlier portion of the film outside of the school And then of course when they went to go visit Tara that was the only time we really saw them interact with her So getting to see Tara interact with the ones that are left anyway Chad and Mindy. That's gonna be very good to see Jenner herself has already touched on the fact that she will get to interact with Mindy So I can't would see what happens there I do expect that perhaps what will happen is she will have some new group of friends making up this new cast that we have So these are gonna be her blackmore friends So those people I can see being her blackmore friends definitely will be Liana Liberado's character and then the character played by Jack Champion those two I can see being her college mates and blackmore and then she has her new friends or her returning friends from Woodsboro and Chad and Mindy and then of course her sister so Just to touch on this little thing from viewer non and flesh this out and how I could see it playing in screen six viewer Non again shared some deleted sort Sarah some images of a deleted scene from screen three where we would have gotten to see a little bit more context as to how This voice changer came to be this multi capable voice changer that Roman had in screen three That allowed him to basically use anyone's voice at will This scene that was deleted would have showcased Ghostface in what looks like a layer Putting together and come compiling all of the voices the audio bits of the people's voices and transferring them over into a device I guess that's showing us how The voice changer was born again I think that that voice changer was very much so ahead of its time But given the context of the movie and that it's not set in the 2010s That is why when rewatching screen three that is still a plot device that many people are not in favor of because given the Context of what year it set in this does not make a lot of sense. However That was one of the more I Would say passable things out of the plethora of others They expected us to believe only one man had done on his own the voice changer Well, I get some people finding to be over the top. I thought it was pretty cool. I also just do not think it was the most Effective plot device. I do think that while the the concept is cool applying it in this genre Especially this franchise at that time period in 2000 when we're not in the 2010s or even the 2020s like we are now with all these Capabilities being the thing it just came off unrealistic. However With these things that have been dropping online There is the discussion about Ghostface Using evidence from other killing sprees in the upcoming six movie So what if one of those bits of evidence is Roman Bridger's voice changer? Now more than ever would be a much more realistic Unbelievable time to have a voice changer like that Come into effect or come into play for a person who is trying to go around Commit a new spree of Ghostface killings if you bring that voice changer back that plot device I think it will go over a lot. Well a lot more better today than it did in 2000 I'm not saying that everyone will be on board with it I also do know that there are people out there who are against it because of how it was born in bad context I just think that it could exist in today's world of scream given all the technological Advancements we've had over the years and to see it used in scream six. I wouldn't be against it I wouldn't be against seeing Ghostface utilizing this Borrowing Sam's voice borrowing Tara's voice barring barring Chad and Mindy's voice barring gales voice of course Barring as many voices as you could it would have to tell you this is somebody who's clearly been in contact with all of these Cast members, but I think that a voice changer device like that could be a lot more digestible in today's climate and the environment Given all of the technological advances Would you want to see Roman Bridger's voice changer return in scream six if that is one of the pieces of evidence that get brought up during the Murder sprees that transpire in New York Or would you want to see that left in the past because you found that to be a completely ridiculous plot device You can let me know that down in the comment section below I myself personally again think that that voice changer had potential it was just Not utilized at the appropriate time It was unrealistic given the context and then bringing it back now might just be for some people Reliving a nightmare for me I'm open to seeing it now because it makes a lot more sense and you could even poke at how it was so ahead of its time and They could even joke about well, how did Roman manage to even create this device? How did he create it? We could have discussions about that Obviously that would just be in line with what you expect from scream poking fun at itself all of the tongue-in-cheek stuff that we know This franchise likes to do you could do stuff like that where they're just obviously poking fun at the negative Criticisms that exist around that third movie related to this device that Roman had So I think that it could work if they bring it back for a sixth movie I would like to see obviously and here's the other thing since only one of them exists to our knowledge The you could probably do something where if there is multiple ghostfaces Let's even pretend there's a cult if there's a cult of ghostfaces that happens in the sixth movie You could do something where the leader of the cult is the one who's obviously using that voice changer The other ones they're not getting anything like that. They're just using the standard ghostface voice changer However, they're doing that but the leader was always you're always gonna know when you're talking to the leader because the leader would be Someone who is changing transitioning from the ghostface traditional voice Roger L. Jackson's iconic voice To then sounding like gale sounding like Sam sounding like Chad and Mindy and everyone else involved in New York That way you can set the differences between the leader of the cult and then the regular old the regular Below bar cult members not to say that there is a cult but again if they want to play it like that since there's only one device That's how I could see it playing out Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on Postification in this video in the description. I will have links on my social media accounts I am on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there of course let me know Is any movies news or views you like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


And welcome to the very first edition of Facebook Live Streaming, Quantum Healing with Candice. This show is sponsored by n5d.com and I wanna give my good friend, Greg Prescott, a great big thank you for making this show possible. Today's topic is group past life regression, past life regression in general and your questions with my live answers. But before we get started, if you've not ever met me before, my name is Candice Crog Goldman and I've been doing this past life regression work for just about 10 years now. And I had the distinct honor and pleasure of studying with and actually assisting the late, great and most beloved Dolores Cannon. I'm the founder and managing director of the original Quantum Healing support forum and we still take care of Dolores's students over there. So thank you all very much for being here with me today. And so it looks like we've got some people joining up. Can everyone hear me just fine? I think I can see some of the people coming in. There's Kristen and there's Tom Ramsey from My Old Bitburg Days. Hi, Tom, there's Jenna, hi, John. There's Dawn, hi, Dawn. She's a local gal here in Wichita. You know, Dawn, one of the reasons I'm doing this show is to prep for group past life regression. I'm having here in the Wichita area here in just two days. So if you are in this area and you're interested in coming on down Thursday night and trying this out, I'll have links at the bottom here at the meetup.com links. I'll put in the comment section below. And there's my cousin Irmi from Germany. Hi, Irmi. And there's Bobby Arans and he's a Quantum Healing practitioner. And there's Allison Doherty. She's a brand new practitioner. Hi, Allison. It's so great that you all are here joining me. You know, this work, this past life regression work is becoming more and more popular even though it's been out there for a while and there's a lot of different techniques. There's a lot of different teachers. There's a lot of different ways that people can experience their past lives. And today I'm taking your questions and so I'll want you to put them in the comment section over there so that I can get to them. But I want to talk a little bit first about the whole idea of a group past life regression because it's coming up here in my own calendar in a couple of days but also because this idea of a group past life regression was really the very first thing that got me started in this many, many years ago. And I wanted to tell you a little story about it because I think it's significant about how the whole thing works and how important it actually can be along with fun because it was for me. So way back when, and I think my daughter is here and I'm gonna try to, oh, Lauren, I can't, I cannot pin your comments so hard because it's gone gray. She's asked me to pin the comment. I'm going to pin in a little bit a comment of where you can find the replay of this on our YouTube channel. But before we get to all that technical stuff, I want to talk to you about this group past life regression experience that I had. And it really was and remains a very significant part of my life and it happened kind of like this. So I was a mom and I had two little kids about the age that my daughter's children are now. They were, one or both of them were in diapers and I was home all day long being a mom. And I had the opportunity on the weekend to attend a past life regression event and it was a group past life regression. This happened in New Jersey, not far from the town of Edison. Yes, I actually used to live in New Jersey.  And I had no idea what a group past life regression was. The only thing really that I knew is that I could have a little bit of time away from my beautiful but very demanding toddlers. And I said, I'm there. And we went to kind of an artsy place in town, you know, the candle shops, the book shops, the places that we go to have these kinds of sessions even now, and it was winter time. And I remember it was very cold and we walked up the stairs. It was a little meeting room above a metaphysical bookstore. And I was just so happy to be there with my friend and knew something different. And we went upstairs and there was a couple, a very nice couple who gave a little bit of presentation information about regressions in general, about what might happen in a group past life regression and then let us all in the experience. And there was not too many people there. There was maybe 10 or 12 people there. And we all laid down on the floor. And we were taken into a relaxed state and told to imagine being taken someplace. I don't remember exactly how, but we all individually went into our own little experience. And I wanna tell you about mine. So I found myself in, and it was quite short. These group regressions can be quite short in mine. And this one was back in, I think it was 1993 probably. I found myself in a room and I was seated at a very low table. There were textiles everywhere. Beautiful wall hangings. There were pillows. I was there with my young son and my elderly father, or at least that's what it seemed like to me. But we were sitting on pillows and we were eating food. And it was a nice full table of food bowls and patterned cutlery and patterned pottery and scooping sort of maybe Mediterranean or Indian type finger food that you might think of today. And it was very warm in this room and sort of dark, but it wasn't stifling, but it was very warm. And I was looking at this man eat and the man had a very full beard and he had a turban on his head and he was sitting to my left. And he wasn't looking at me, he was just eating. And he was just eating and eating.   And he was eating like any two or three year old that he would eat even today and very messily and I was sort of helping him. And I sat there and I was getting my bearings about what was going on here. And what I realized was that I had a very rich internal landscape of how I was feeling. I was mad. I mean, I was really, really angry. I was basically seething, actually. And as the regressionist was explaining the process about take note of your surroundings, that's what I was doing. And the regressionist was saying, how are you feeling? And that's what I was like, well, how was I feeling? And that's when I realized I was mad. So, you know, well, why? Why was I mad? And I was looking at this man who was my father and I was just thinking how he took his freedom for granted and that he could go anywhere. And he could talk to anyone. And he could do really anything he wanted within reason in his life. And I was very envious of that. And I was very upset about that, that I couldn't go anywhere, that I was trapped in this place. And then I looked over at my child and this was a little boy. And I found myself having an internal conversation about being really upset that this small child didn't even know that he was going to have opportunities that I would never have in my life because I was female. And it was a very strange feeling to have because I loved him, I loved my father too. But I was also very envious of the fact that they were both male, which meant they were both free. Or at least free to move around. And I wasn't free at all. And that was so upsetting to me. And then I had another layer of feeling which was I should be ashamed of myself. I should be absolutely ashamed of myself because I had food in front of me on this table. And I was very, very blessed. And then I looked over and on the wall there was a window. And I knew that people were passing in the streets even though the window was closed. I knew that people were passing in the streets that would literally kill us or me to have the food that was on the table if they knew it was there because there were very hungry people in the streets. I have no idea where I was, the place or anything. The walls were sort of smooth. It may have been kind of a stucco-y mud kind of building, dirt building, adobe kind of thing. I don't really know. And I had this rich internal landscape of all of these different feelings. And I felt young, healthy, and absolutely like my life was over. Or the opportunities in my life were over. I don't have a memory of a mate or a husband. The regression didn't last that long. It was a very short timeframe where I just had this experience of being a few minutes at this dinner table. And then the regressionist took all of us, ten of us or however many were there, and brought us back to conscious everyday reality. And I sat up and my friend Patty sat up. And I just started laughing because I said, well, that didn't really work. I just made that up. I just made that up. I've got a great imagination. So I didn't really have a past life regression. I didn't really experience anything that was real. I didn't really go to a past life. But wow, I was congratulating myself at what a great imagination I had. And I asked Patty what experience she had. And it was very interesting too. She did very much the same thing. She says, well, it didn't really work. But I kind of imagined I was in this boat and I was this Native American person and I was laying in this boat. And I don't know why I was laying in a boat, kind of a canoe dugout or something. And we laughed the whole way home and we had a great time, great afternoon. But we didn't believe that we really visited past lives. Well, that was many, many years ago. I mean, how long ago was that 25, 30 years ago? I mean, almost, right? And of course, look how significant that was. I did and I do adore my children. But I wanted more from life in the world. And back then there wasn't the internet. Back then there wasn't a way to engage with the world really unless you left the house. And I was absolutely and utterly at my house, my condo or wherever apartment, wherever we were living at the time. And I was trapped. And so the event was very significant and it was very telling. And what I know now and when I look back on it, what I find very interesting is I can remember the patterns, the patterns of the textiles, the feeling in my stomach, the envy. And it informed my life both then and now. So having an even very brief group, past life regression, can make a significant change in your life or at least have you think about something that you might want to think about further. Also having a group past life regression is a safe, easy and fun way to try what having a session one-on-one might be about. So that's what we are doing here at My Wellness Studio in Augusta in Kansas. That's just outside of Wichita. This coming Thursday, which is the 13th of July, 2017. And you can find out information I'll put out on this or just sign up to my Meetup group. So I'm kind of ready to take some questions. So what I'm going to do, and I've not done this before, my good friend Pamela Erlin has done this a lot and she knows how to scroll through and get questions. This is going to be my very first time of looking for questions. And here is wonderful Ronald DeWald who is a magnificent hypnotherapist and past life regressionist himself and he is saying, I'm here because I haven't had any past lives as being born as human on this earth. I've been guided to this earth. No, I've been to this earth many times as a healer and guide. I would like to explore that. That's actually beautiful. And that's very much what Dolores Cannon wrote in her book, The Three Waves of Volunteers in the New Earth. So Ron has just talked about the fact that he may be one of those waves, probably a first waiver. Thank you so much. Okay, maybe. There we go. Now I'm seeing Lauren's comment. I can see it now, Lauren. So I am pinning Lauren's comment to the top. That is our YouTube channel.  We're going to go to this channel, which is actually pretty new, but we're going to fill it up fast. All right. Okay. There's Susan Worster. Hi, Susan. So happy to have you here. She says she's never had a past life regression and some have told me who I supposedly was in other lives. You know, Susan, that's a great comment. There are some people who can absolutely do that. Panel Aarallan is one of them. There are other people who can absolutely intuit, feel, sense, or even get great details about what you might have experienced in a past life. However, having your own personal experience of that is almost always a very significant thing because the information comes from you. It's about you anyway. And for the information to come from you, rather than from another person as talented or as accurate as that might be, when the information comes from you, it's quite significant and quite powerful. So I'm going to see if there's any other questions here. There's Magda. Hi, Magda Kinto. Sounds like deep shame programming. You are free now and you are always free inside. Absolutely Magda. And what I've realized is, oh goodness, I'm getting the bumps as I'm saying this. There's a lot of patterns that we repeat. There's a lot of people who have to have many life experiences before learning something. And one of the things, of course, that I learned there was exactly that. And I also learned about equality and I learned about internal peace and I learned about a lot of different things. I've also actually learned, and this won't surprise anyone who really knows me, that I've actually, I'm almost pretty sure I've been male quite a bit more than I've been female. I am very much a female in this life. I'm very happy to be so. But my internal experience far more has been expressed as a male than a female. And I think it was my vision to come to this life in this time, the awakening of the divine feminine to be able to participate in that way at this time on the planet as a female. So some of you are sharing my video. Thank you so much. I do appreciate that. There's Diane Argibright. Diane's a great one for stories of ET contact. She's my friend down in Austin, Texas. Hi, Diane. Scrolling through, looking for some more questions. There's Barbara Becker. Hi, Barbara Becker. Barbara is one of our greatest practitioners and she's in Arizona right now. Delighted to have you on with me today. Barbara, love your energy. Love everything about you. There's my really good friend and local friend, Sarah Lawrence Henson. You know what, Sarah? I have something to say to you. Do you know that the eclipse is coming up and you and I are getting together on that day, aren't we? What are the odds that we got that figured out that way? It's going to be a powerful day for us. Let's see. Summer Garner. Hi, Summer. Hope you went to the post office today. Let's see. Anyone else got any questions? There may not be any questions left. Let's see. Let's see. I'm happy to answer any questions. Well, how about this? How about I just talk about a little bit about why would anyone even want to have a past life regression? There's a lot of different reasons. A lot of people come to have a past life regression because they've got a health issue and they have tried everything and everything traditional and conventional possible that they can think of and they're kind of stuck and they really don't know what else to do. And having a session where you speak to your own consciousness can be very much a reason to have a session. Another reason, a very big reason people have past life regressions is for relationships. If you have a pattern in your relationships, either with a spouse, maybe sometimes with your children, sometimes with coworkers, that you keep repeating and repeating or you have a particular relationship that you are not able to completely understand why you are having difficulty or challenges in that relationship, you may be repeating a pattern that you've repeated throughout lifetimes until you can break that pattern or understand the reasons for it happening. Another great big reason people have regressions are life path issues. Some people aren't real happy with their jobs or they're not real happy with where they live, etc. Some people come, have a session to explore their consciousness about what's important in those areas of their life. How should they take schooling and move into another career? Are they fine where they are but they just need a hobby? And sometimes the answers will surprise you. A lot of people have some pretty good ideas of what the answers are anyway and they come for affirmations and they come for confirmation. But some people's answers are great big fat surprises and those of us who know this work know that that's true and it keeps me on my toes and it keeps this work so interesting. Another reason people will have sessions is mysteries or lost time. Why can't I remember my childhood? What happened that night in the woods? And a lot of star seeds and ET contactee people will come and want sessions. And now I will tell you this because this is very interesting for those skeptics out there. Some people who come and say, I want to know who my star family is, I want to know about the spaceships that have been picking me up at night. Some of those people find out that those dreams they've been having aren't dreams and that they're real. But some of them find out that it's just dreams and they just love Star Trek and Star Wars and their heart is in the stars and their explorers and they have cosmic family, et cetera, but that they're just dreams. So it's not always what you think it might be. Some people have had mysteries like lost objects or lost family members, the information has come through. Another reason people have past life regressions or regression sessions of any kind is to find out their cosmic family, their origins. Maybe they've always had an idea that they've traveled through the stars or that the Pleiades mean so much to them. For me, example, I looked at the Orion constellation since I was very small, the belt of Orion, the middle star of Orion in particular, and I know my good friend Michelle Walling and many of you out there know what that feels like. And having a session like this, you can find out some information like that. I actually, myself, had a QHHT session where I met a currently living aspect of myself who's living on Orion right now or in the Orion system, a very big, burly man in a very physical 3D realm. And in that regression session, he talked to me and I talked to him, and that was astounding. He would go sit on a cliff and think about me and I would walk through the prairie and think about him. And this is what we're talking about when you hear people throw out the word multi-dimensional. We are multi-dimensional beings, so an aspect of myself is having that story stream line and an aspect of me having this story stream line is just now becoming aware and vice versa. And that's what's so exciting about this kind of work. One of the questions that's up there is how do you prepare for a group past life regression? Well, hey, just listening to a program like this or doing some reading or really nothing, really nothing at all. There's really nothing you need to do to prepare. You can prepare for both a group session and a very lightweight session. You can prepare for a one-on-one session, but there's no real need to prepare. The biggest need is to trust yourself and be comfortable with whoever you're doing this with. That's the most important thing. Everything else will come naturally. Can you do some things you bet? Can you do some things that might make it better, go smoother? Sure you can, but it's not really required. The most interesting, excuse me, the most important thing is that you have a sense of excitement, anticipation and that you really want to do it and an open possibility, an open mind about what could happen and trust in yourself and in your practitioner, but mostly in yourself. Let's see, I'm going to see if there's any more questions. I've been going on not quite half an hour. We've got a few more minutes, so I'm scrolling through, scrolling through. Here's a question from Barbara Becker. What age range do I see? In my regular one-on-one sessions, that's a really great question. For a long time it was the older crowd that was into this stuff, but lately there are some very, very 20-something kind of people who are very awake or waking up quickly who are interested in exploring their consciousness and their life, but really all ages, really all ages. As a matter of fact, and Lauren, you may not, I know my daughter's listening to this, you may not know this, but you have the record of being the youngest person I've ever regressed that was way back. I'd probably been doing the work for maybe not quite a year, and Lauren was still in high school, and I had a pretty significant session. A pretty significant session, and I think it informed her life. Someday maybe she'll share a little bit more about how it affected her life. And let's see, there's another question. Oh, here's one from Tracy Reed. How can you know if the thoughts are just made up? Well, it's a great question, and it's one that almost everybody asks themselves. And let me tell you what, guess who else asks this, even if I were to lay down and have a session right now? Me. I do the same thing just like everybody. My conscious mind, my ego self, my everyday consciousness that's been trained from very early childhood to not believe in these extra ways of knowledge understanding information starts throwing up all kinds of arguments about how you are just making this up. So how do you know if you're fabricating it? How do you know if it's real? How do you know? Dolores would answer this way, and I sat in many classes with her, and she would answer the question this way all the time. She would say, well, you're making it up from somewhere. And what she meant and how she would talk about finishing that sentence is she would say, your higher self, your larger part of you, your higher self, your super consciousness, she called it the subconscious, would provide storylines for you to learn from. Are they past lives? Does it matter? If it's helpful and it's informative to you, does it matter? Most of us who have this idea of making it up and then dismissing it because it's fabricated are replaying our programming, our early programming. You know, you do not have an imaginary friend.  That was only a dream, that's only a coincidence. All of those things we do to be little magic in our world. Well, it worked, didn't it? And it still works. You know, I'm going to be 57 next month, and I still have my own programming to contend with when I explore my own consciousness, but I'm aware of that programming and I can kind of talk to it. So what I say in my own head is, yeah, yeah, I know that there's this part of me that's trying to keep me safe, right? That's saying, you're just making this up. And I just pat that little part of me on the head and say, that's okay, but we're just going to go do this right now. And then afterwards, when you review your experience, you can determine then whether or not you want to give it any validity, right? So anyway, okay. So let's see if there's some more questions here. Let's see. Susan Worcester says that's interesting in regards to having information coming from you. I didn't realize there was a difference. Oh, absolutely, there's a difference. I guess that's what Dolores Cannon did and what you do and other people do to allow someone to speak about their own past lives. Absolutely.  But then again, back to that programming, we've sort of been programmed not to trust ourselves. So it's getting through some of that programming. Here we go. Here's Vanessa Watson. Hi, Vanessa. She says, are you saying the glimpses of lifetimes you get relate to issues we need to heal? Absolutely. Absolutely. But sometimes not just we need to heal, maybe we need to learn from. You know that big burly guy on Orion? That guy gives me strength. He's a warrior in Orion. And I have to access my inner warrior on some levels during my everyday life here as this little female human being. And I'm really happy he's there.  So maybe it's aspects of yourself that you need to incorporate in yourself, right? Barbara says she's facilitating a QHT session this afternoon. She's so excited. Yes. You know, that worked. Loris Cannon's work is expanding and growing and becoming so amazing. You know, we're about half an hour into this work, but I want to tell you I'm finishing up an article for our practitioner blog. And our practitioner website is quantumhealingpractitioners.com.  And one of the blogs that I'm getting ready to put up is from one of our practitioners who did a session not very many days ago. And what came through was it was a mother with an adopted son. And the adopted son's consciousness basically came up in the session and that practitioner took that consciousness of the son, not the mother, not the being who was laying there, but took that consciousness of the son who really needed information and really needed healing. And so it was a regression within a regression.  And that story is coming right up on quantumhealingpractitioners.com. And so stay tuned for that. Hey, listen, we've been going for about half an hour now and I'm going to take just a couple more questions if I can see any. I asked, have you had any clients start to astral travel during their sessions? Well, yes, some would say that's exactly what you're doing. When you are having a regression, you're either astrally traveling or you are accessing the Akashic records. It's your conscious, another way of talking about it, it's remote viewing. You know, we as humans use these labels to help explain what's going on, but it's really consciousness exploration. And we use these words, these labels, but sometimes the words get us into trouble. If we communicated and we're moving in that way, if we communicated just energetically, astral travel, Akashic records, those kinds of things, those labels, those things would all kind of blend and meld and they're doing that anyway. And some of what I see anyway in our spiritual communities is sometimes I see a lot of bickering about words and labels about what's going on. And it really, we're moving out of that. You know, we're moving into different paradigms. We're moving where our heart is feeling the information and our beingness is feeling the information and where the story is being projected without words energetically. And that's another way we're expanding and ascending as humans. Okay, let's see. Okay, Phoebe Brown, hi Phoebe. Phoebe asks, should a session be done with someone diagnosed bipolar who is on many, many medications? Many, many, many clients are bipolar or diagnosed bipolar. So not a problem. The one category of medications and diagnoses that gives us some concern, and Dolores taught us this, was those who have dissociative diagnoses, multiple personality diagnoses or schizophrenia. Those people are probably not best served by this kind of consciousness exploration. However, I have to say this because I have a great story. I can tell stories all day long. I saw a woman in Austin, Texas who called me up and she said, I've been wanting to have a past life regression that no one would have me as a client because I've been diagnosed as schizophrenic. And I'm having this conversation with her just on the telephone. I said, well, tell me a little bit about that. And she told me she'd been committed. She'd had electroshock treatments. This diagnosis had been following her for something like 25 years. And I said, okay, well, so in that 25 years time, what's your life been like? Oh, pretty stable. She was married. Mary did the same man. She had the same job that whole time. She's had a lot of dreams. Well, why, how did this all happen? She says, well, she had visitation from angelic presences. Told her husband, told her doctor. They committed her. She started getting electroshock treatments. I'm no doctor. But in my book, that doesn't fit the profile of someone who has a severe or a schizophrenic kind of life. Schizophrenic people tend to not be able to hold down jobs. They tend to be sometimes erratic and have a lot of problems with their relationships. This woman was stable. She'd been married. She'd raised children. She had a job for the same job that whole entire time. In my book, it was in this diagnosis. Again, I'm no psychiatrist. I'm no medical doctor. But I'm talking to her.  We'll do a session. We'll talk more. And if after a lengthy interview, if I think that you are served, we can do a session. And if not, we'll just call it even. And she had the most beautiful session. And she was able to communicate with these beautiful, beautiful angelic beings that have been and have been trying to communicate with her for decades. But people were afraid of that. And our systems were afraid of that. The religious, the conventionality. You can't hear voices without being schizophrenic. Not so. This woman was so blessedly, amazingly loving and gifted and touched and left very content with the stability of her own mind, believing that she can, in fact, communicate with other realms. As we all can, if we desire to or quite our minds enough or give it ourselves an opportunity to do that. Okay. I'm really, really so happy that so many of you have joined us, joined me today. Let's see. I'm going to take one more question. Okay. This is really, really a great question. So Lois Marie Ward, I love your question. Can someone do this on their own? Yeah. Absolutely. You don't need me. You don't need anybody. But we can make it easier. Okay. Or can it happen spontaneously? Yes. So you can do this on the, you can go on YouTube right now and find yourself a past life regression meditation.  You can do that. However, a few things kind of happen sometimes. Doubt sets in. It's hard to keep track of what's going on. You might fall asleep. Those things happen. But can you do this by yourself? Absolutely. This is you and your consciousness. People like us, we're just facilitators. We just, you know, we're like tour guides and we've done it before. We have some markers. We have some tips and hints. We can help you and we love helping you. And that's why we do this. So yeah, you can absolutely do this on your own. And it's such a great two-part question, especially to end on. Can it happen spontaneously? Absolutely. Okay.  I think I was about 15. And I had a past life memory spontaneously happen to me. And I discounted it for many, many years where I didn't know what it was. I didn't know what to call it. So here's the story very quickly in a nutshell. I'm writing about this in more depth. I was riding my horse east of Wichita. If those of you who are local want to know where this is, Harry and 127th Street. There used to be something called a gun club just south of that corner, south of that intersection, southeast of that intersection. There's now a huge housing development there called, I don't even know, it's some sort of horse housing development. And lots and lots of houses. And I used to go behind this gun club and there were beautiful patches of tall grass prairie there where the grasses in the summer would grow 8, 10, 12 feet high. Most beautiful grasses. There would be places I could ride my horse to while sitting on the back of my horse, the grass would be taller than both of our heads. This was a magical place. And there was a place behind this gun club where I could go and I could give this little knoll and I could go to a place and I could turn 360 degrees in this piece of wild prairie and only see grass. I saw no power lines, no houses, no roads. And if no airplanes were going over or something like that or tractor nearby, I used to go to this one place and imagine what it was like to be on these planes 100, 200, 300 years ago, 1,000 years ago. I used to go there and I used to let my imagination go. See where we're going with this? Your imagination, right? It's the launching point. So I would go to this place and the wind would blow and the grasses would dance like this. And I would sit on my horses back and dream or daydream, a daydream. One day when I was doing that, boom, all of a sudden I had this absolute... It was like a memory. And I became another person. And I almost felt like I slipped off my horse and I was standing on the ground next to the neck of my horse. And when I looked up, and this all happened in a very short period of time, like 30 seconds, right? This is a very, very brief time, but it was so significant. So I'm standing there on the ground in the neck of a horse. But I'm not me. I don't have light skin. I don't have blonde hair. And my horse isn't a beautiful, sorrel horse with... She had flax in the mane. She was so beautiful. It was a much different colored horse and I had brown skin and brown hair. But I was a young girl about the same age and I was breathless. I was nervous. And I was doing something. And what was I doing? I was braiding a little braid in my horse's mane. And what I was braiding in her mane was a feather from an eagle. And I was hiding it underneath in the mane of this horse. And the whole story came to me in an instant, which was the tribe was out. The tribe was hunting. I took this horse. I took this horse to ride. I could get so in trouble. I could practically be killed for what I was going to do. But I was this girl and I wasn't allowed to ride. Do you see the pattern here? I wasn't allowed to ride the horse because that wasn't for me. Not this horse anyway. And I wanted to know if I took that eagle feather and braided it in that horse's mane. If we could run. If we could run fast. If we could take the energy of an eagle and run even faster with that energy. And my breathlessness was the nerves of the situation. That I was doing something completely against tribal law. Completely against the role that I was supposed to have. Even being around the horses, they let me do that. They let me feed them or take care of them. But I should have been out beating some moccasins. And I wasn't supposed to be messing with the horses. And I was going to do it anyway because I was. And that's something else you find out about your personality. Anyway, it happened in an instant. It happened spontaneously. But since then, that spontaneous memory has informed my life. And I've never, ever forgotten it. I still have horses. I still think about that all the time. And thank you for that question. You know, gosh, we've been doing this now almost for 45 minutes. I'm going to have to run. But I want to remind you all that you can find a replay of this. We'll put it in the comments section. I want to thank you so much for being here. There's so many great people who showed up today and participated. And I want to thank you so very, very much for that. Don Parkinson, another good friend. Thank you for being here. Let us know how you found us. Did you find this on my personal page, on the business page? Maybe you're watching this after the fact. I'm happy to and will go through and make sure I've answered all of your questions later if I didn't answer them now. And I want to thank you all again so much for joining me today. You know what, a week from today, guess who's going to be on this show? That's the fantastic and wildly YouTube popular. Alva Weiman is going to join me a week from today. And we're going to set that up a little bit differently. We're going to use Zoom as a show feature there. I will be promoting that. But I'm going to, during that show, I'm going to be able to use this feature that Zoom is now providing for its webinar hosts, which is live streaming on Facebook. So one week from today, Alva Weiman. And I want to thank, again, Greg Prescott and Ian Five-D, so much for this platform and this opportunity to speak to you all in the world. I also want to thank Michelle Walling.

why are we still having this conversation can anybody please tell me why we still having this conversation no no no no no we gotta stop it man oh you too team keep it clean what's going on it's a engraving held another video and in this video oh man I just when this came across my timeline I had to go check for to see where it came from because I know people know how to do photoshop and whatnot I don't know how to do photoshop but people know how to do photoshop so they can twist some things they can twist some words and all that but I looked it up for myself and found the article on the athletic and it was true it was true first this started with Brady Pupinga and I don't know what it is hey and trust me when I say this this ain't no hate towards the saints at all y'all know y'all know if there's anything that I love but besides the Ravens of course I love the Saints anybody ask me who my second team is New Orleans but even New Orleans fans like the ones who the fans where New Orleans is their first team they wouldn't even say this they wouldn't even say this like they'll go to bat for Mike Thomas okay I can see that you can make your case for Mike Thomas being one of the best if not the best receiving the league that you can make the case for it now I won't agree with it naturally but you can make your case for it but for this yeah you ain't making no case with this with my friend now again love taste some heel I love everything he does love them but we we got to stop this man we got to stop this so first it was Brady Pupinga he said that Lamar Jackson is just a poor man's taste some heel and when we talked about that before I figured you know what maybe um taste some heel got him on a payroll or something maybe he works for the Saints or something but then I saw oh he went to BYU I was like oh okay mmm god and just a coincidence to taste some heel you should go there too but so he just riding for his alumni okay cool whatever but still Lamar Jackson is a poor man's taste some heel the guy who literally just won the MVP and I think he said that actually before all this corona stuff started going around so he had no excuse to say that but anyway it's crazy oh man this is a good but anyway today Jay Glazer you know y'all know Jay Glazer he'd be breaking so he'd be breaking some news he in there when he breaks news is pretty big usually but Jay Glazer well respected he's usually I believe he's on Fox but all right so the the the article was on the athletic it was an interview he was gonna interview with the athletic so Jim Jay was interviewing me said hi Jay if and when Drew Brees retires this year or the next is taste some heel a future starter or is that just a smoke screen so then Jay glaze Jay Glazer proceeded to say no smoke screen he's the guy Sean Peyton loves him but it's not just him the whole team loves him not just Sean Peyton watch the Saints game when he's in the game watch the other players on the sideline watch their reaction they all get up and stand on the sidelines to watch him I think Sean was always hoping to unleash him on the league without anyone seeing him before but now we've seen it with Lamar Jackson he's a bigger Lamar Jackson no it's not a smoke screen he likes him that much he'll be the guy he's with the perfect coach for that now me I am I'm somebody who has gone on record several times again love taste some heel but I don't think New Orleans views him as Drew Brees's heir as Drew Brees is future I just I don't see it I don't see it and I think New Orleans doesn't see it either I know they gave him that that that big extension for one more year they still gave it to him now I know they gave that to him but even still man I just I don't see it I don't see it now not saying that he couldn't be it but so far I just don't see it they just recently signed James Winston and one of the reasons why I think I don't see it as taste him he'll be in the guy because of how they treated this last season we all know who Teddy Bridgewater is we all know what Teddy Bridgewater did Drew Brees went out Teddy Bridgewater went in and taste him he'll continue to be the gadget player now again not knocking him because he was good at what he did and he did pretty much everything but they didn't really insert him at quarterback only on some trick place if you have a team that doesn't insert you in at quarterback only on trick plays they don't have that belief in you yet and me I'm a Ravens fan I watched it with Lamar Jackson in his rookie year his rookie year they used him as a gadget not to the extent that the Saints use taste him he'll they use taste him he'll special teams they use them on offense and tight end and running but everywhere but Ravens they only use Lamar Jackson as a running quarterback and sometimes out of those formations he would throw not too often but only a little bit he would but most of the time he was just running so they hadn't trusted him yet as a quarterback so with taste him he'll they not only just use him for gadget plays but they had another quarterback in front of him behind Drew Brees so he was essentially the number three guy and now you have an opportunity with Drew Brees okay he goes on the Grand Canyon says oh you know what I'm coming back okay cool they slap a first round tender on taste him he'll when they did that I was like wow okay okay new Orleans first round tender okay we see you then they sign up to that that extension that one year extension I said okay new Orleans we see you see you then they sign James Winston was like okay new Orleans we see you so I think that it's gonna actually be James Winston who is the number two just like Teddy Bridgewater was the number two but it's it's only a matter of time we're just we'll end up having to wait and see what happens but I just I don't think that they see taste him he'll as the guy now again I think with Lamar Jackson here with his name being so viral people will use him and have used him then this is another case where they've used him to sort of elevate taste him here and obviously the mobility plays a big part in that they see taste him here and a lot of these plays that a lot of these design runs where Lamar Jackson has been super successful with a lot of these plays a lot of these design runs so they take that and say okay you know what let's use Lamar to boost up taste him and I don't know if taste him he'll got these people on a payroll if since he got the little extra money he said hey Jay Jay Glazer let me throw you a little something go ahead mention my name go ahead mention it I don't know and again I'm not saying that taste him he'll can't end up becoming a successful quarterback I'm not saying that he can't end up taking over for a franchise whether it be the Saints or somebody else but I am saying that I just I don't think the Saints I don't think he's the guy to take over for the Saints and the reason I say that is because all of the Saints actions that they've shown us over the past year and change over the past season and change I just I don't think they see him like that but again we'll see but let's get back to the article so again Jake laser said no smokescreen he's the guy Sean Payton loves him but it's not just him the whole team loves him not just Sean Payton watch a Saints game when he's in the game watch the other players on the sideline watch their reaction they all get up and stand on the sideline to watch him oh yeah I've seen that I did the same thing myself when I was he takes him here making a play I'm standing up I'm chair I'm like okay go go ahead take a do your thing but that doesn't mean that the team views him as the guy to take over at quarterback that doesn't mean that he's a bigger Lamar Jackson and then I think Sean was always hoping to unleash him on League without anyone seeing him before but now we've seen it with Lamar Jackson he's a bigger Lamar Jackson now another another reason why I think he used Lamar Jackson's name like that is because we all obviously saw the success that Lamar Jackson had in a season in the last year in the season and he had a lot of successes he became the MVP so all right cool that's that but one thing that a lot of people get on Lamar Jackson for is his small frame they say oh he's too small oh he's he's not gonna be able to last oh his body's not gonna be able to take all these hits even though he hardly ever gets hit but we got a run with that narrative but they continue to say that so with them continuing to say that they like oh you know what take some heel what's the way to boost up taste some heel okay use Lamar Jack oh yeah Lamar Jackson's just MVP he runs a lot he's very mobile take some heel he can move now okay so how about what if we say okay Lamar Jackson I mean taste some heels a bigger version of Lamar Jackson because that can show people that his body will be able to withstand more hits more tackles more physicality than one Lamar Jackson's would and he'll still have all the tools that Lamar Jackson has because well he's a big Lamar Jackson and there you go there you go and there's your article and again this is just crazy and there was even the other guy who used to be the Saints special teams coach because I forgot about this one he said that taste some heel was a better thrower of the football than one Lamar Jackson now again I can't say he is I can't say he isn't because we haven't seen a good enough we've we haven't even seen a sample size of taste some heels throwing he I think he's only thrown like 13 total passes in NFL so we haven't seen anything so I can't say he is but I can't say he isn't but I can't say he is because we haven't seen a full body of work from him but these guys they continue to use they continue to use Lamar's name to boost up taste some heel but hey whatever works right anyway I just had to share this with y'all because I just thought it was very interesting it was kind of funny to me but that's that I love y'all team keep it clean I appreciate y'all and again Saints fans y'all already know it's all love it's all love but I'm sure that y'all can agree to I I'm sure a lot of y'all probably feel the same way that from the Saints actions not even my own thought but from the Saints actions it doesn't look like taste some heel would be the air to one Drew Brees it doesn't look like he'd be next in line to take over for Drew Brees but of course hey if you feel otherwise let me know man I love y'all I appreciate y'all so much team keep it clean we out


People misunderstood Krishna like nothing. People think Krishna is talking about detachment. People are talking about detachment because of fear of suffering. Can you do something well being detached about it? From my limited understanding or at least what we learned in textbooks is Buddhism talks about how we should not be attached to something or how in certain cases we should be detached. I mean it talks about how suffering, one of the reasons behind suffering is attachment. Now, my question to you, Sadhguru, how can I help a particular friend or empathize with him if I'm not attached with him? So this obsessiveness or attachment, is it necessarily bad? See, this attachment-detachment business is a misunderstanding that's come out of the Gita in this country. People misunderstood Krishna like nothing in the sense people think Krishna is talking about detachment. Please look at his life. His life is involvement, isn't it?  So this person unfortunately is being accused of detachment. See, if there is no involvement, there is no life. You can only know life with involvement. Even if the meal that you eat today, if you're not involved, you will not know what it is.  Not possible. People are talking about detachment because of fear of suffering. Fear of suffering has come because when they involve, they get entangled. They do not know how to get involved, they just get entangled. Entanglement is happening because your involvement is very discriminatory. Is that sinking in? So I should be equally involved in everything, is what you're saying? Let me... Tell me, if you are less involved in your breath and more involved in your eating, you think life will work? See, breath is involuntary, that's why I'm using the word breath. Because it's involuntary, you don't have to do anything. It's just happening. But we're involved by keeping the air conditioning on, otherwise we'll suffocate. This is our involvement, we turned on the machine. We may not be consciously breathing, all right? But we are involved. Without involvement in every aspect of life, you will get skewed. And that is when psychologically you get messed up so much that in many ways, mind gets deranged. Seeing this, somebody said, you're too attached, you must be detached. No, detachment will not work either. Can you be detached and do something well? Can you do something well being detached about it? No, you need absolute involvement. If you have an indiscriminate sense of involvement, you will see there is no entanglement in your involvement. If you discriminate, you will get entangled. The problem is of discrimination, not of involvement.


Gangstorkin, the answers you've been looking for. Gangstorkin is the repeated following and harassing of another person. It is a distinctive form of criminal activity. It is organized covert harassment of a person by a group for the purpose of destroying the person's life. Why are they doing this? They are targeting you because you have something that they want. Whatever they want from you is usually what they are trying to sabotage or control. It could be money, a person or information, your health or happiness. Gangstorkers are very envious and jealous people. They feel like they are not enough. So they target people and try to take something away from them, hoping that it will complete them. Gangstorkers join together because they are like-minded people. They are of the same kind. They share similar tastes and opinions. They all believe that the abuse is okay. They believe it is justified. Gangstorkers are likely to have personality disorders. They are likely to lack empathy for their target. They are likely to be motivated by a reward. This may be a sense of fulfillment, money, power or a sense of belonging to the group. They get a kick out of harassing you. This is something that they enjoy. It distracts them from their miserable lives. Many of them have no life at all. While others are willing to give up on what little life they have to focus on yours. Because they believe your life is more valuable. They believe it is more important. You are important to them. Which is why they spend so much of their time and energy on you. But they engage in this behavior because they are envious and jealous of you. They are trying to take something away from you. They are trying to take your happiness and contentment. Because that's something they don't possess.  That they are not satisfied with their lives. And they want to destroy that reminder. They want to make you miserable just like them. When they're causing disruption in your life. It distracts them from their own lives. It makes them feel like maybe their lives aren't so bad. Why did they target you? They targeted you because you have something that most people don't have. This could be money, power or success. It could be your happiness and contentment. It could be a person. It could be information. It could be something about your personality. Or it could be something spiritual. Whatever it is, they are targeting you because they want to take it away from you. They don't want it to be in your possession. There are also certain qualities and traits that they look for in a target. They prefer to target people who are alone. People who don't have much support. People who don't have anyone to help or defend them. People who are naive. People who show a lack of experience, wisdom and judgment. These are the types of people that they are looking for. Because if you don't have much support and you lack experience, wisdom and judgment. It's going to be a lot easier for them to get what they want from you. Because you're not going to know what's going on. And you're not going to have anyone to help or defend you. It's like taking candy from a baby. It's very easy for them to accomplish. Compared to them targeting someone who might have supportive family and friends. People who are not going to let anyone push you around. People who have morals. People who are going to stand up for what they believe in. They're not going to target someone who has all of that support. It would be too dangerous. They also target you because you care. You give serious attention and consideration to doing something correctly or to avoid damage or risk.  And they know that a caring person is not going to fight back. They know that you're not going to become violent. Or cause problems for them. They're not going to target someone who doesn't care. Because then they would be putting themselves at risk of danger or harm. And gang stalkers are very weak, cowardly people. They engage in this behavior because they're fragile and insecure. The last thing they want to do is put themselves in a dangerous situation. So they have to target someone who cares. They have to target someone who doesn't pose a serious risk of danger or harm. How do you stop the gang stalking? As long as you remain around the place where you were targeted. It's probably never going to end. Even if some of the gang stalkers decided that you've taken enough hits and they've done enough damage. Even if they decided that the penalty has been fulfilled. There would always be those people who are dominant in their group. Who continue to harass you. There would always be those psychopathic individuals who continue to hunt you down. While motivating others to do the same thing. Even if there were good people in their group. There would be overturned by those who are more dominant and controlling. Those who want to see blood. Which is why the gang stalker will always continue. It's not going to stop. If you want to live a peaceful and fulfilling life. If you want to get married and have children. If you want to have that career that you always dreamed about. You've got to get out of the area where you were targeted. And you can't just move to a different city. You have to go to the other side of the world. And pray that they don't track you down.  As they will be watching you. Through the cameras on your computer or phone. They will be listening to you. Through the microphones. And trying to figure out where you're going. You have to destroy or sell any technology you own. Because they will use it to track you down. And then go far away. This doesn't have to be a bad thing. Just see it as though they're pushing you out. Of this small town. Where you don't belong. You're moving on to bigger and better things. And before you know it. Gang stalker will be a thing of the past.   You can finally live the life that you've always wanted. Thank you for watching. I hope this video has been with you. Please like. Comment. Share.

Hi, I'm Helen, Head of SEO at Car and Classic, and I am here today to share some top tips on how to identify your SEO skills gaps and how to fill them. Now that sounds a bit rude, doesn't it? Suggesting you have skills gaps? I don't know you. You might be an excellent SEO. I'm sure you are. But you know that thing that we tell our clients and our bosses that SEO is really difficult and it's always changing and the algorithms I know they've developed again turns out that stuff that we tell our bosses and our clients to keep our jobs, it's actually true. And because of that, we have to keep our skill set evolving and developing to keep up with all the stuff that's changing in our industry and to make sure that we are our SEO best selves. But SEO is kind of a broad subject, isn't it? I mean, we often loosely classify it into on-page SEO, digital PR and technical SEO, but can you be an expert at all three? Given that they've got such a wide and varied skill set? And is that not a bit reductionist anyway? Because what about local SEO or enterprise SEO or edge SEO? And take technical SEO. Where do technical SEO skills end and developer skills, engineering skills begin? I'm going to take a step back from that heavy pile of confusion that I've just landed you with and talk about types of skills, namely hard skills and soft skills. Now, I'm loosely classifying hard skills as those kind of SEO skills you need specifically for SEO jobs, things like being able to do keyword analysis or a technical audit, those kind of things that you can learn, you tend to learn on the job and you can develop and grow at over time. And then there's also soft skills, but those are the kind of skills that are a bit more transferable, the kind of skills that would put you in a good stead no matter what kind of job you get, things like communication skills or stakeholder management. And those are really important to keep in mind because you're going to need a mix of hard skills and soft skills in different ways depending on which SEO job you're in. So, let's take a think then. Given that SEO is such a broad subject, how do you know which skills you need to be good at? For example, if you're a really good technical SEO, do you need to know lots about local SEO? Do you need to be really good at enterprise SEO? Do you actually need to know what Edge SEO is or can you just keep pretending? So, step one really is identifying what skills you need for your role and your future career. So, I would always start at looking at your current job. So, what is it that you do on the day to day? I'd have a look over the course of a week perhaps and at the end of each day just jump down the kinds of activities that you are doing. So, for instance, you might have done a bit of a technical audit or you might have had some meetings. Of course, you've had meetings. We all spend our lives in meetings. But jot them down and start to break them down into the skill sets that you need to be good at each of those activities. So, let's take meetings for example. You might have had a client pitch meeting. What are the kind of skills that you need to be really, really successful at client pitch meetings? If you could max out, if you could turn your skill level up to 10, what would those skills be for you to be really successful in a pitch meeting? But then perhaps in the afternoon, you did some training for the developers in your team. That's still a meeting, but it's a whole different set of skills. There's training, there's communication. It's a different skill set needed. So, just spend some time looking over the course of the week breaking down all of the different activities you do in your current job and try to analyse what sort of skills you need to do really well at those activities. But that's your job now. What about your future career? What kind of skills do you need for that? So, now I would start looking at some job ads. So, maybe fire up LinkedIn, ignore those 20 messages trying to sell you guest post opportunities and have a look at some of the job ads that are there. But don't look at the job ads that you could get at the moment. Look at the job ads that are a bit more aspirational. So, if you're a technical SEO, look at senior technical SEO ads or head of technical SEO. Start looking at those job ads for jobs at a couple of stages above where you are right now. And look at the kind of skills that they are asking for, the ones that they think are absolutely essential and those that they think are a bit desirable. Because that will give you an indication as to what skills you might need in your future career if you're going in the direction that you hope to go in. And then of course, you need to start breaking down some of those complex skills. I'm talking the kind of generic nebulous kind of skills that we always seem to list on our job ads, things like stakeholder management. What does that actually mean in SEO? I mean, really, it means that you get your way, right? That amazing SEO strategy that you've spent ages coming up with is bought in by the stakeholders that need to say yes to it. That's kind of what stakeholder management is. But if you break it down into its component skills, it's about being able to communicate effectively and persuasively. It's about understanding business needs and blockers. It's about being able to understand development cycles and how your requests might fit into those. So stakeholder management, quite a broad skill, but start identifying what the component skills are of those complex ones. And then finally, speak to your manager. Get them to give you a progression plan, set some goals for you, help them to identify what skills you need for your current role, what they're expecting you to excel at, and that will help you to come up with a total list of all the skills that you might need in your current and future roles. Great. So you know what you need to know. But how do you know whether you're already really good at those skills or you need to improve at them? Well, I would suggest you start off by asking your colleagues. Ask them to tell you what you need to improve at, but you're going to need to be specific because if you just ask them what they think of your current skills, they'll say something like you're really nice and you bake great cakes for the office and you're really friendly and they're really edifying, but it's not particularly helpful in this context. So perhaps put together a bit of a survey for them because everyone loves impromptu surveys when they're really busy at work, but ask them anonymously to feedback on the skills that you know you need to have for your role and ask them to mark you out of say five or 10 on how competent they think you are. And also do it yourself. This is your skills matrix. This is how you identify where you think you are in your competencies at these particular skills, but I'd suggest you break it down further. So if you're looking at, say, website migrations, rank yourself in terms of your theoretical knowledge of website migrations, but also your practical experience of them, because it might be that you have read every single blog on the Moz blog about website migrations, but you've never actually carried one out. So your theoretical knowledge might be really high. You might have a great understanding of what goes into website migration, but practically you don't really have much experience of it. So you might give yourself a five for knowledge and a zero for practical experience. Get your colleagues to do that. Do it yourself. And then you've got a really good idea of where you currently are in terms of your skill set. Also ask your manager during your performance reviews to start ranking you themselves. They might be a bit more objective. They might be able to give you an idea of the sorts of skills that they do think you need to develop in that you've perhaps not identified yourself. They should really be able to help you measure that against the performance plans that they've put in place for you. And finally, go to conferences, read blogs, scroll through Twitter. Where do you feel out of your depths in those kind of conversations? Where is it that you think, I have no idea what they're talking about. They're going on about HSEO again. Where is it that you think you actually need to improve your knowledge and understanding and perhaps practical application? Okay. So you know what you need to know. You know what you're not so hot at, but how do you improve? Well, that's step three. And I would suggest you start by surrounding yourself with thought leaders. So go to Twitter or mastodon or whatever else is that you cool kids hang out these days and find yourself some thought leaders to follow. Now these might not be people in the SEO industry, but they might be experts in other fields, but try to find people who really excel at the kind of skills that you want to develop. So if you want to get better at persuasive communication, follow some politicians. If you want to get better at understanding how development cycles work and how you can get buy-in from engineers, follow some engineering managers, but start to understand from the people who really excel at those kind of skills that you're looking to improve how they do things and how they develop and practice their skills. You can also find yourself a mentor. Now this is great because you could have someone who really understands who you are and your direction of travel in your career. They can help you to identify where you're currently a little bit weak and also help you to see where you're improving. Now mentors can be quite expensive or they can be entirely free. There are mentoring schemes outlier like the wonderful women and tech SEO one and there's others that you might be able to take advantage of but find yourself someone and it might be a former colleague or a former boss or it might be someone that you currently work with, but find someone who you know is a step or two ahead of you in terms of their career and the sorts of skills that you want to develop and ask them to help you. Training. We've all been promised these amazing training budgets when we sat in job interviews. Let's actually use them. So find yourselves in training courses that are really specific to the skills that you're looking to develop. Don't just go on sort of generic SEO ones, but if it's stakeholder management find a course that covers that or if it's public speaking, find a course that covers that and get feedback from your mentor, from your colleagues, from your boss. Ask people to let you know whether they think you're developing those skills or not. Have a look at your skills matrix. Make sure that you're just not leaving it on your desktop to gather metaphorical dust but actually brush it off and have a review how have you developed over time against those skills that you listed out a while ago and if there's any skills that you're really, really hoping to get better at, you've got to try them out. So whether that's a public speaking skill that you want to develop and you've just got to make that leap to asking whether you can lead a client meeting or whether you can lead a training session or even applying to talk on stage. You've got to try it out and of course it doesn't end there. It's a continual process. You've got to go back to stage one. I would suggest that you maybe set yourself a reminder once a year to have a look back over this. Make sure you're still on track for the career that you want and you're still improving those skills that you want to improve. Thanks very much.
