MAGI & MIRAKEL To ord, forbundet med endnu et m-ord: Mysterium. For er de virkelige eller eksisterer de kun i fantasier og fortællinger? Kun i forestillingen om en ukendt magt? Det kommer selvfølgelig an på hvor usandsynligt og usædvanligt noget behøver at være, for ordene bruges ofte når mennesker vil beskrive stærke indtryk og oplevelser og man kunne vel argumentere for, at selve livet og mennesket er et mirakel skabt ved.....magi? Desværre eksisterer også meget konkret i verden og lige foran vores øjne, der er alt andet end magisk/mirakuløst (selvom vi ofte lukker dem for det) og egentlig er det nok det ultimative bevis på at ingen mennesker har en reel evne for "magi", for så ville der vel ske mirakler konstant? I hvert fald er endnu et m-ord et magisk mirakel: Musik! Hvilket jeg tror ret mange verden rundt er enige i, selvom heller ikke engang den emotionelle og universelle musik kan skabe det helt store freds-mirakel. Sejrstimen præsenterer sange, der har enten 'Magic' eller 'Miracle' i titlen og de leveres idag af disse navne: Alphaville, Perry Blake, Colin Blunstone, Bowie, Coldplay, Jacob Collier, Electric Light Orchestra, Selena Gomez, Hurts, Labrinth, The Last Shadow Puppets, Little Mix, LP, Nothing But Thieves, SIA, Simple Minds, The Temper Trap og Amy Winehouse plus danske Nelson Can, School of X og Who Made Who.

HAZL is a passionate and driven 29 year old queer, polyamorous, kinkster, writer, and musician who first learned about non-monogamy when she was 19. She is also an incredible storyteller and takes us on her decade-long relationship journey that's filled triumph, struggles, laughs, and beautiful transformations. HAZL's story takes us into the familiar messy first few years of exploring polyamory where she's learning and unlearning so much about life and who she is. After a few years she found herself in a monogamous partnership that was her safe space and anchor as she gave everything she had to chase her dream of becoming a professional musician. As she ended that partnership, she made her way back to polyamory again... But this time it feels different to her with a whole new perspective and purpose. Professionally, HAZL is a Queer singer-songwriter from Portland, Oregon. Graduating with a full ride from Los Angeles Academy for Artists and Music Producers (LAAMP) in early 2024, HAZL has created an infectious, vivid, and inspiring sound that's all her own. Beginning as an acoustic artist, she is now playing in the world of electronic sound. Influenced by Labrinth, Sylvan Esso, and Imogen Heap, HAZL is on track to release her Debut EP R.E.A.L. (Real Emotions Are Loud) on March 24th, 2025. Connect with HAZL via Instagram or check out her Linktree for all of her work! Check out the full show notes here.

Sten Sejr er tilbage med en ny episode af Sejrstimen, og denne gang stiller han skarpt på temaet "det menneskelige" gennem sange, der alle bærer titlen "Human". Med sin karakteristiske dybde og refleksion udforsker Sejr, hvad det vil sige at være menneske og hvilke lag, drømme og skyggesider der gemmer sig under hudens overflade. Musikken, en af menneskets ældste og mest vedvarende udtryksformer, fungerer her som et spejl for vores fælles erfaringer og længsler. Episoden præsenterer numre fra en række kunstnere, der hver især fortolker menneskets natur og sindelag: Aquilo, Goldfrapp, Rupert Hine & Thinkman, Joe Jackson, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, The Killers, Kimbra, Lonely Robot, Marina, Muse, Of Monsters & Men, Emeli Sandé, Seal, Sia & Labrinth, Sparks, XTC + Carpark N og Fallulah. Denne musikalske rejse giver lytteren en særlig mulighed for at overveje, hvad det egentlig vil sige at være "Human". Med en blanding af reflekterende tekster og rige musikalske landskaber skaber Sejrstimen en stemning, hvor kunst og selvrefleksion går hånd i hånd.

ALL & EVERYTHING Så er der helt nyt tema i Sejrstimen igen, og dette kan nærmest ikke blive større, for det rummer "det hele". Et af de få temaer hvor jeg bruger 2 nært beslægtede ord der skiftevis optræder i titlerne, som er med: Associates, Aztec Camera, Kate Bush, Cigarettes After Sex, Divine Comedy, Genesis, Peter Hammill, Labrinth, Prefab Sprout, Jane Siberry, Ultravox + hele syv nordiske: Abba, Bjork, Miriam Bryant, Carpark North, Hymns From Nineveh, Krister Linder og Hannah Schneider.

Shani holds the dual roles of Executive Vice President and Managing Director at Warner Chappell Music UK and the Head of International A&R at Warner Chappell Music.

In this episode we welcome Lloyd Bradley into our Hammersmith lair and ask him about his career as a journalist and as the acclaimed author of Bass Culture and Sounds Like London — the latter book celebrating its 10th birthday at the time of recording. We learn what London sounded like to Lloyd as a boy growing up in '60s Hornsey, and how his love for music led to writing for Blues & Soul and then NME and Q. He talks us through some of the key themes of Sounds Like London — his history of "100 years of Black music in the capital" — and particularly the homegrown reggae sub-genre known as "lover's rock" and the rise of grime as a hybrid of UK garage, hip hop, jungle and dancehall. Discussion of lover's rock leads us to clips from a 1998 audio interview with Steve Barrow, founder of dub/roots-reggae reissue label Blood and Fire — and then to how Lloyd came to write 2000's mighty Bass Culture: When Reggae was King. After a short discussion of soul legend Bettye LaVette — and her journey from early '60s Atlantic Records to the Anti- label in the mid-noughties — we pay tribute to the late Tina Turner and her epic story of survival and self-reinvention Mark quotes from highlights of his additions to the RBP library, including Richard Harrington's Washington Post review of the last gig Lowell George ever played and Tony Scherman's exhaustive Musician interview with session drummer Earl Palmer. Finally, Jasper talks us out with his remarks on pieces about Labrinth and London's hyper-eclectic jazz scene. Many thanks to special guest Lloyd Bradley.

Looks like there's MAJOR trouble for Jonathan Majors. As stated on Deadline, the actor is facing domestic violence allegations in NYC after a March 25 incident involving a dispute with a 30-year-old woman. The unnamed victim was taken to a hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck,” according to authorities at the time. Days following Majors' arrest, a thread of texts were made public where the alleged victim blamed herself for the incident. It has yet to be authenticated by authorities. On April 17, Majors' manager from Entertainment 360 and publicist The Lede Company fired him, according to Deadline. In other major news, Buzzfeed announced on April 20 that it will be releasing and laying off 15% of its staff, amounting to about 180 people following the news of the removal of BuzzFeed's news division. According to The New York Times, when BuzzFeed News was founded in 2011, in the run-up to the next year's presidential election, it explored stories both slight and serious through listicles and click-bait-style headlines designed to go viral on social media. The Pulitzer Prize winning news operation soon drew attention for its ambitious, sharp reporting, however, and went on to open overseas bureaus and invest in investigative journalism. Congratulations to model Sofia Richie and music executive Elliot Grainge who recently tied the knot over the weekend in the South of France. The 24-year-old model and designer, who is the daughter of legendary singer Lionel Richie, exchanged vows with Grainge, 29, the son of Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge, during a ceremony in Antibes, France, according to People. Richie was stunned wearing three dresses on her big day. Sister Nicole Richie was in attendance and superstar dad Lionel Richie walked Sofia down the aisle. Richie and Grainge began dating in 2021 and became engaged one year later. Zendaya returned to the live stage after eight years. The superstar joined Labrinth during his Coachella set on Saturday and surprised fans with a superb performance of Labrinth and Zendaya songs from popular HBO show Euphoria including “All for Us” from the show's first season and “I'm Tired” from its second. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zendaya acknowledged the fact that it's been years since the Euphoria star appeared on stage to sing live during a scheduled set in an Instagram Story discussing the “magical” night. “Thank you all for welcoming me back on that stage with open arms. It's been a very long time, so I appreciate it,” she said in one story she recorded in the early hours after her performance before heading to bed.

Our guest on today's episode of the Gentleman's Journal podcast is Labrinth, the musician and super producer. We first met Labrinth back in 2019, just afyer his last album, 'Imagination and the Misfit Kid', came out — but before the wild, runaway success of the giant HBO show Euphoria, which became the most tweeted about program in history during its second season earlier this year. A huge amount of the show's success is almost certainly down to its soundtrack, which Labrinth, of course, scored and produced — and the music in the show very often has the otherworldly and yet soulful energy that is true of all of Labrinth's music. His latest album, 'Ends and Begins', is certainly otherworldly — and we talk about the cosmic nature of Labrinth;s music and beliefs in a highly enjoyable conversation that spans his feelings on his recent ADHD diagnosis; how he is excited about the great adventure of death; and why fame makes toddlers of us all. 

This week's episode discusses the Gateway Process outlined in recently declassified (2003) CIA Documents regarding Project Stargate. The Gateway Process attempts to explain supernatural phenomena such as astral projection, out-of-body experiences, higher levels of consciousness, reality shifting, and many other strange supernatural things achieved through meditation through the lens of science as we know it today. This leads us into a discussion about the 3 most impactful life-changing meditation experiences that I have had in my life and about meditation in general and the positive impacts it has on your body and mind.    Subscribe and leave a 5-star review! ----more---- Our website https://redpillrevolution.co/    Protect your family and support the Red Pill Revolution Podcast with Affordable Life Insurance.

Hello and welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you very much for listening today. This is episode number 46 of the Red Pill Revolution podcast, and we are going to have a very intriguing conversation. This one we're gonna be touching on. It was something we've kind of touched on before, but we didn't dive into this specific topic, this deep. So what we're gonna be discussing is the CIA documents surrounding the gateway process. Okay, so we'll touch on that. We'll talk a little bit about some of my experiences with meditation, things like kini yoga, some of the interesting stories that I have surrounding that. Then we'll dive a little bit further into some of those other types of meditation, which I find to be really interesting, um, from that kind of. Uh, Western, or I'm sorry, Eastern philosophy and, and those types of things. So the gate, it all starts with the gateway process, though , if you've never heard of the gateway process, it's a unbelievable, unbelievably interesting document that came from the CIA that was released in 2003 surrounding. Some of the most interesting topics that you've ever heard of in your life. Everything from spirit channeling divination to extra sensory perception, to, uh, astrol projection, to, uh, you know, um, basically all of these, you know, out body experiences, states of altered consciousness. And this was all done under the US Army. In the cia. Okay? Um, this US Army's actually the one that released the document. So, um, we will go ahead and jump into it. But before that, , before that, I need you to do one thing for me, and that is just go ahead and hit that little button on your phone. It takes two seconds on your part. It means the world to me. And you already know which button I'm talking about. It starts with a sub and ends with a scribe. All right? That's what I got for you. If you are on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, go ahead and hit that five star review button. If you do not already, follow me on all of these social media channels at Red Pill Revolt, go find me, follow me. You know the deal. All right? And if you haven't hit the subscribe button, just do it. You'll feel better about it this whole time. All right? Gives you a little bit of good karma. All right, speaking of Karma , we have some very interesting conversations today. Um, so we will go ahead and jump into it right now. All right. I don't know about you, but that introduction just gets me a hype for some reason. , if you can't see it, um, even if you're watching this on YouTube, but I'm in the background mouthing it. Getting excited over here. Um, but let's dive into it. The CIA documents about the Gate Way process. All right. Now this gets so deep, it might be hard to follow, but I found some really good engaging articles that take, uh, this wealth of information that's a 26 page document. And 26 pages doesn't seem that deep. Even in each individual. There's like two to three paragraphs on each of the individual things that they're discussing here. Um, but I found a really good way to break it down for you guys, and here it is. In 1945, the United States launched a scientific intelligence initiative titled Operation Stargate. The objective was to recover intelligence on scientific and military, uh, projects conducted under the third, right? What they found was something much stranger. A cash of documents related to, um, which was a scientific academy, and, and think, take indicated a division that was so, basically it was like the Nazi regime had this scientific think take that was dedicated to the study of cult sciences. The extensive research was being conducted on sensory perception, spirit channeling divination in other forms of anomalous phenomenon. The paranormal was being scientifically explored, but from what purpose is unclear. After uncovering these documents, they began to investigate, uh, into altered consciousness and the supernatural, and they continued these investigations for decades. Some of these projects like MK Ultra have been widely reported. Others, not so much. Some have re received little to no exposure since declassification. That one report titled The Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process went largely unexamined until recently it was declassified in 2003 by the US Army. In a detail, a scientific technique developed by the Monroe Institute to facilitate astro projection in out body experiences and states of altered Consci. Hmm. Now, if you don't know, we touched on this topic, um, when we talked about the Project Stargate. So there's a whole episode that we did on Project Stargate and Project Stargate was the, uh, CIA's initiative to basically combat and re uh, look into what the Nazi regime did by looking into the astro projections. And so the idea was that they would take people with high levels of psychic energy, right? Or self proclaimed high levels of psychic energy. And if you haven't watched that episode, it's wild, right? We watch videos of them literally putting ping pong balls on people's faces so that they have this like sensory deprivation in order to do these. And there's a movie that's loosely based off of this, which is called The Men Who Stare at Goats. Um, I guess it's a ho movie, so really no reason to watch it . But, but it's interesting that there's a movie nonetheless. So what, what that, uh, Project Stargate was, the whole idea behind that was that they were coming out with a project to basically learn how to spy on other military operations without ever having to leave a single room or do any reconnaissance at all. All of this was going to be done through some type of psychic action, and in this case it was called Astro Projection. And if you don't know what astro projection is, Astro projection is the idea. It's, it's a form of transcendental meditation, which transcendental meditation is something that we'll dive into in a little bit. But it's basically, you know, getting into a deeply meditative.  expanding and, and, and taking your consciousness and looking to expand it from outside of your body. And within that you can start to project that to different areas of, of earth and space and time, uh, uh, and timelines, right? It's, it's really wild the things that they did within Project Stargate. There was even one instance during Project Stargate where they had an individual who was projecting their consciousness into a pyramid on, I believe it was like a pyramid on Mars, where they spoke to extraterrestrial entities who were trapped there. And in trying to ask them for help on a different, Like in, in a different time than today, like far, far in the past. It's so crazy. And you can find all these documents, go to cia.gov, um, or, or go to Google and type in CIA reading room and there's all of these documents and just look up Project Stargate. And there's so much shit that you can dive into a project Stargate is so crazy. And this is the document that we're gonna discuss today is a single document of that project. Okay? Now, one way that they went about that project was something that was called Hemi Sync. In Hemi Sync was an initiative that they were trying to basically figure out how to best prime the body to do this astro projection. And, and the, the project Stargate. Or, I'm sorry, the breakdown of the gateway process was an, an, an attempt to explain exactly what was happening, how it was happening, what was happening in the brain, how this was even possible from a, uh, like a worldly perspective. You know, what was going on to make this possible. Okay. Um, so pretty wild stuff. And with that, let's dive a little bit further. It says that some of the projects like MK Ultra have been widely reported on, however, some have received little no exposure since declassification. Right? We talked about that with the US Army coming out with this document in 2003. Um, and it detailed a scientific technique developed by the Monroe Institute to facilitate astro projection out of body experiences in states of altered consciousness. The purpose was to create individuals who could transcend space and time so that they could achieve this through the use of the gateway tapes. Now, the gateway tapes are literally available on Amazon, right? Now it's $190 for the gateway tape. So if you're that interested in this, there's two copies left , I hope after this show there's a couple less. If that looks at zero by the time that this gets released and you guys listen to it, that's pretty awesome. Um, but anyways, you can also find it on YouTube, so don't, maybe don't spend your money . Um, the gateway tapes, I'm pretty sure beginning to end are all on YouTube. And so the Robert Monroe was the one who spearheaded this operation and, and tried to break down what was actually happening during this astro projection and how to actually accomplish this. All right. So Robert Monroe was a radio broadcasting executive in the early 1950s. He formed Ram Enterprises, which was a corporation that produced network radio programs. However, Monroe was interested in exploring how sound frequencies can impact the human mind. He was obsessed with discovering methods of how to, it's called like hypo, um, hypno emia. And it's basically learning how to learn from audio tapes while you're sleeping. Okay? Think of like listening to, you know, uh, pimsler Spanish tapes. Uh, and then eventually after so many weeks of listening to this in your sleep, you wake up and all of a sudden you're fluent in Spanish. That that was kind of his idea. it says that Monroe experimented with frequencies to enhance memory and learning for years. However, in the 1950s, he got more than he bargained for. During one of his experiences in experiments, he experienced paralysis, bodily vibrations and bright lights until he seemingly exited his body floating somewhere near the ceiling. This experience was later publicized in articles and books, and it helped popularize, popularize the term out of body experience or obe. He was frightened, but also intrigued, and he began to pursue this experience, describing it as proof of the spiritual world. As Ram Enterprises grew beyond radio production, they rebranded as Monroe Industry and they developed a research division named the Monroe Institute. There they studied the impact of sound frequencies and patterns on human consciousness. Monroe discovered that the human brain was subject to a frequency following response, which means brainwaves would naturally adapt to mimic the audio frequencies played. However many known brainwave patterns like beta, theta and delta occur at frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear. To circumvent this limitation, Monroe would play different frequencies to the left and the right ears, which would create a beat frequency. A beat frequency is simply the difference between the two played frequencies. For example, if 210 frequencies hurts or hurts, frequency was played in one ear in 220 and the other, it would generate a beat frequency of 10 hertz invoking psychological and mental states that are related to those brave brain wave frequencies. This process would synchronize the amplitude and frequency of brainwaves between both hemispheres. This synchronization is also called Hemi, and it rarely occurs in natural circumstances. Monroe claims that the gateway process could lead to prolonged states of Hemi sync, and he could stimulate states of consciousness by forcing the brain to emulate these frequencies. So, Summarization. He would put headphones on and he would play these certain frequencies. If you've ever done like transcendental meditations or guided meditations, sometimes in order like kini, there's, there's sometimes in the background you'll hear this. Uh, you know, it's like this weird kind of underlying sound and, and, and you can even look up certain, uh, uh, transcendental meditations or guided meditations that have certain frequencies, um, which the CIA has outlined as allowing you to do these out body experiences, Right? So, so what he did is he started the experiments that kind of brought to light and scientifically explained what's happening in these instances. And it goes on to say that by evoking delta brainwaves in one to four hertz range, he could elicit states of meditation or relaxation. Early research at the Monroe Institute suggested that the gateway process had many practical applications including stress relief, pain, anesthetic. Accelerated learning and more. However, it would only later be applied in an attempt to create psychic soldiers under the guidance of the US military military. In 1983, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne in McDonald's submitted a classified report titled, In Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process, He was tasked with exploring astro projection and not body experiences and how the gateway process might be used to train soldiers for intelligence gathering purposes. The subject matter can be difficult to understand, but the following is a synopsis of McDonald's report. Aware that this is his investigation was skirting the supernatural McDonald's thought to ground his analysis in scientific study, he connected his reports to the following branches of study, including biomedicine to re, to determine the physical processes and effects that occurred during the gateway processes, including quantum mechanics and attempt to explain the interplay between consciousness in the physical world. Theoretical physics to understand the physical world that would be transcended and Newton's laws of physics to ground his findings and dispel any paranormal connotations. The gateway process was described as a training system designed to bring enhanced strength and focus into am, uh, to the amplitude and frequency of brainwaves output between the left and the right hemisphere, so as to alter consciousness, moving it outside of the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space. And that draws back to how this was actually applied in Project Stargate, which is wild, which is what we talked about a little bit earlier. And all of this sounds so crazy, but the fact that the CIA dumped. Millions of dollars and manpower into this and, and actually had many, many successful missions, including finding a specific warship in the ocean as a result of one person's, uh, you know, astro projections. Now it goes on to say that, and through these interactions, all energy fields became imprinted and then encoded with inform. Um, it says to understand how human consciousness could escape the physical body. McDonald asserted that the world is a hologram, a theory which is shared by even current day physicists all matter consists of atoms, small nucleic, and are surrounded by large electron energy fields. The energy fields between all matter coexist and interact. And through these interactions, all energy fields become imprinted and encoded with information. Furthermore, complex principles and holographic theory suggests that this imprinting can occur between, and not only is there an interconnectedness between everything we know, but perhaps there is information in our world about dimensions that we have yet to even discover. The holographic theory is further complicated by interaction with human consciousness. We do not passively perceive the world, but through perception, we change it through free will. We can selectively perceive and influence the holographic universe. Similar to popular new age ideas like the Secret in the law of attraction. Now, if you don't know what the secret or the Law of Attraction are, I'm happy to explain. I was given a book by my father, um, great man, and, uh, it was called The Laws of Success. And I was given this book. It was written by Napoleon Hill, and Napoleon Hill is kind of the grandfather of all, uh, you know, motivational speaking today. All, all of the books that you see on, you know, how to, uh, self-improvement basically is a sub chapter of information or stems from a, you know, a certain paragraph even from this book called The Laws of Success and The Laws of Success was Later to Condense, because I have it right here actually. Napoleon Hills Law of Success. All right, here's the book. It is, um, revised and updated by Napoleon Hill, the 21st Century edition, and it is approximately 890 pages. 890 pages. And in this book he described several, several things, including a lot of what this even talks about prior to this actually happening. Right. Um, so. Um, what I see to be interesting about this is, is it talks about the secret. It talks about the law of attraction. It talks about, you know, what, what turned into many of the modern day new age ideas. And if you don't know what the secret is about or what the law of attraction is, it's basically, uh, interplaying the idea. And, and it gets pretty deep if, if you know, how the, the, where our science is going today, which makes it even more interesting. But the principle of the law of attraction is basically that through sheer thought, you can manifest the world, the life, the outcomes that you want in life. Now, I think there's two specific interesting ways to talk about that. The first one being that even if it doesn't have to do with the frequencies of the world, which is, you know, what, uh, is asserted by Napoleon Hill in this book and even asserted through this CIA document. Um, but even if it's not that right, I guess let's, let's talk on that. The idea is that the, the, the world is vibrations, right? And if you understand how science works, and I don't claim to be a scientist, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt. But from my understanding, the idea is that everything is movement. Every molecule, every molecule is shaking, right? There's movement happening all around this at all times. The words that you're hearing from me right now are simply vibrations, right? And those vibrations stem from the vibrations that are happening within my own brain, which is causing, you know, this activity that's coming up with thoughts, which is then coming out verbally, which you're hearing through the vibrational frequencies, right? And that includes the light that's, you know, reflecting off of the walls that's giving color. Everything in this universe stems from some type of, uh, you know, movement or frequency as a result. So the idea is that there's, you know, if, if the way that I look at it now, knowing what we know about, you know, where science is going with the idea of multiverses, is that if you align with a certain frequency, right? Even when you're not speaking, even just your thoughts are emitting frequencies into the world and the world picks up on those, whether it's, you know, what you, whether you want to call it God, whether you wanna call it the universe, whatever you want to call it, there is something greater than us that is taking in those vibrational frequencies. And if you put things out enough, the world will start to align with your thoughts, right? And this comes from, you know, whether or not it's, it's this new wave idea of science or whether it's even to me, even if it's not, that, it may even just have to be the trickling down of the conscious into the subconscious, right? If I wake up and tell myself every day, then I'm gonna be a millionaire, right? Let's do the most common one that you'll probably see when people do the secret, right? I'm gonna have all the money in the world. Right. If you just wake up every day and you recite that, and you recite that, and you recite that, and you recite that, right, I'm gonna have a million dollars by this day. I'm gonna have a million dollars by this day. Just specifically by doing that, you are pulling your, you, you are positioning your subconscious in the way that that is what's at the forefront of your mind, even if you're not thinking about it, right? So you start to pick up on cues around you that may get you closer to that goal, right? Because if your brain, if every day that you woke up, you said, I'm hungry, I need to find. , I'm hungry. I need to find food. Right? Your brain's gonna go, Oh, he's hungry. He needs to find food. And so your particular activating system is gonna start to pick up on subtle cues around you, right? That could potentially mean I'm gonna eat, right? So whether it's has to do with, you know, aligning with the proper multiverse, right, or, or universe. Um, and that's an even deeper conversation, but you know, through the manifestation of your own thoughts or whether it just specifically has to do with you saying something enough to where it trickles into your subconscious. I wholeheartedly believe that there is one shape or another in one shape or another. You can frame the universe around you specifically through.  thoughts. You know, it's a, a, a really incredible quote is, you know, if you knew the power of your thoughts, you would never have another negative thought in your life, right? If you knew how powerful each individual thought that went through your brain was, you would never think anything that would position you in a way to receive back any negativity. Right? And we're getting a little in the woods with this, but I think it's important to understand this manifestation idea because it comes up later in these documents where it talks about those frequencies. The frequencies that you, you start to align with the, the, the vibrational waves that you're putting out into the universe is what's going to come back to you in one way, shape, or another. Let's go ahead and continue this document. Human beings can manifest certain realities through imagination and willpower. Lastly, McDonald speculates that human consciousness may be able to temporarily escape time and space utilizing the gateway tapes to accelerate brainwave frequencies. These brainwaves may break a physical limitation known as the plank distance. The plank distance is the smallest measurable distance in the physical, the peaks of accelerated brainwaves. And theoretically, the accompanying human consciousness would temporarily enter a sub planky universe. This primor primordial dimension of space predates are known universe, and it is not subject to the limitations of time in space. McDonald theorized that consciousness would blink into the sub planking space and return with knowledge that would otherwise be inaccess. It becomes possible to see how human consciousness brought to a sufficiently altered state could obtain information concerning the past, present, and future. The practice of using the gateway trait tapes is referred to as the gateway process before beginning. Subjects are instructed to visualize a box in place, any extraneous concerns inside of it. This is meant to help improve focus. Then they are instructed to meditate while humming a single tone. After sufficient preparation. The Hemi Sync frequencies are introduced, which is the tapes that have these frequencies, Those, um, you know, whatever that sounds like. It's only through exposure and diligent practice that subjects can reach the furthest possibilities of this practice. McDonald describes the following as possible outcomes of the gateway practice. Improved problem solving, solving by calling on a higher self, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. Um, patterning and projecting the will into the universal hologram in an attempt to manifest a new reality. Color breathing and energy bar tool techniques are meant to stimulate healing effects on the body through the use of visualization, out of body experiences allow individuals to exit their bodies and explore the physical world and beyond. Okay, now let me talk about one of those specific things that I just talked about, which is the improved problem solving by calling on a higher self. Now, I had an experience. Now I, I'm, I've meditated for a fairly decently long time in my life. I would say probably, I don't know, eight, eight to 10 years. I, I've, and even when I was younger, right, as like, In middle school, you know, I was watching, uh, of, you know, if there was YouTube back then, whatever, wherever I, I watched it , uh, videos about energy and, and, and kind of interested in the Eastern philosophies. And, um, so when I, when I've meditated in the past, I've done several different things, right? When, normally when you meditate, you go through a, a certain steps, right? The normal meditation techniques is, is basically taking something that's considered, you know, to, to take the words of Tim Ferris, which I found to be really powerful. And something that I talk about with my, my young daughter, pretty consistently is the idea of a monkey mind. So there's the idea of the monkey mind. And the monkey mind is the consistent flow of subconscious thoughts that are constantly buzzing through your brain at any given time of the day. Right? It's reminding you of that shit that you forgot to do, that you were supposed to do, that somebody might ask you about in the future. It's reminding you that you said something stupid to that person that you liked last week, and now you can't feel anything but shame about that one thing. And it can't escape your brain. It reminds you that, you know, so and so is out there doing this incredible thing and that you should possibly be capable of doing the same thing. So, and, and you're not living up to your potential. It's reminding you that you know, it's that the song that won't get out of your head, right? It's, it's the constant repetitive music from in Canto,  cuz your child watches that. Uh, if you haven't watched that movie, it's interesting, but it drives me nuts. Um, but anyways, back to monkey mind. The monkey mind is the part of your, your, your thought processes that are uncontrolled. It's the things that give you anxiety. It's the thoughts that make you depressed. It's the things that you feel are out of your control, right, That are driving you to be anxious or sad or mad or it, it's basically the, the autopilot of your brain when you decide or when you don't decide to be in control of it. And so what the initial parts of meditation end up being is learning how to submit that monkey mind. And usually it starts with something like this. They'll tell you to sit down, they'll tell you to take a deep breath, they'll tell you to take another deep breath and through your nose, without, through your mouth. And at a certain point they'll tell you the count breaths, right? I want you to count from zero to 10 each full breath being one, two. Whew, three. And you do that until you hit 10, and then you count from 10 down to zero doing the same thing. And so you continue that process, you know, let's say six to 10 times, right? One to two minutes of continuing that process of just thinking about your breath and counting your breath in a way that it completely takes over your consciousness and rids you of any of the poisonous thoughts that are happening because of your monkey mind. And then the next step is to sit still. Do not count and just breathe. But I want you to think of nothing. I want you to have a completely blank slate in your mind, and I want you to relax your body and mind and just think of absolute nothing. And when people generally start this practice, what they'll find is that their monkey mind is so powerful in their true self, their true consciousness, which is the individual who controls what is behind that monkey mind, right? Who subdues that monkey mind and determines that they're going to stop smoking a cigarette, right? And, and determines that they're gonna write that book and, and overcome the obstacles and, and the easy habitual ways of thought patterns and, and patterns of action that are in their way, right? And so by through this process of subduing your monkey mind for 10 minutes and every time that you're, you know, because it will happen every, you'll get frustrated the first time you do it. You'll breathe in, you'll breathe out, and all of a sudden that stupid assignment that you were supposed to do for school will pop into your brain or that task that you were supposed to have done tomorrow for work that you forgot about when you're laying up at night at nine 30, knowing you're not gonna wake up and go do it. and then you breathe and you remember that you're supposed to focus on your breath. You're not supposed to focus on all the stupid stuff that you forgot to do, . And by consistently subduing that monkey mind, you'll find that you get more space for the things that you wanna do in life, right? You'll find that you, you, you're not picking up that cigarette as often or at all. You'll find that you are more in control of your thoughts. You will find that there's this, you'll know, you'll start to notice because it's not gonna go away initially just by starting to do that. But what you'll find is that you'll start to notice your monkey mind more often, and you'll start to disassociate with the thoughts that are consistently going through your mind, that you normally identify with things that drive anxiety, things that drive depression. And after a certain amount of time of doing that, let's call it six months, your anxiety lessons, your depression shrinks away. Because you are starting to notice the patterns that are leading to that, the thought processes that have been carved into your brain since you were a child, that your parents put there for you, or by that your coach told you that you know, you were not good enough or whatever it is. You'll find that you can start to reparent yourself, to reeducate yourself, to retrain yourself, to live a life in a way that you want to because you're no longer being controlled by the whims of your subconscious thoughts that you have no control over, but you're subduing those thoughts and instead replacing them with intentional ideas of positivity, of gratitude, of, you know, things that are good for you, not things that are bad for you. And so through that initial phase o of of meditation, you start to expand your, your true self, your true consciousness. And so that, If normally your brain's being taken over by your monkey mind for, I don't know, call it 85% of the day, that by learning how to submit, make that monkey mind tap out through the intentional practice of meditation that your true self, your true consciousness, who has your best interest in mind, that is not just specifically repeating the, the traumatic experiences that you had because they're comfortable and habitual, you'll find that your life becomes better. You'll find that you have more gratitude for things you'll find less wanting and more gratefulness. Right? Um, you know, I, I, I tell my daughter this, grateful, not want. Right. Um, and, and so, you know, when my, my daughter is, is a lot of energy, right? Lot like I was as a kid, a lot of energy. And, you know, she has constant, you know, bouncing up and down because she wants to be doing something and she does gymnastics like, I don't know, like 16 hours a week, And so she, she has all of this energy that she needs to get out. And what I've found is that it's all that bouncing is going on in her head, is going on in her brain that monkey mind is taking over. And of course it is. She's six years old, right? And so, but what I've taught her is that, you know, I've taught her the idea of the monkey mind and to disassociate herself from the negative subconscious thoughts that drive anxiety and drive those, those negative emotions. And to realize that it's your monkey mind and that all you need to do toue, that monkey mind through practice is by taking a deep breath in and taking a deep breath out and noticing your breath.  and simply by doing that as often as you can, you'll find that you're taking control over from that monkey mind. And that's the introduction into meditation. That's the general idea. If you download the app Headspace, if you download the app, Calm, um, any of those popular meditation, uh, apps, what you'll find is that's always step one. Step one is ridding yourself. Not even, you'll never rid yourself of your monkey mind, but you can learn to sub do it and learn to notice it to the extent that you can start to sub do it as often as possible and replace it with positive, helpful thoughts instead of negative, uh, negative emotions and negative repetitive thoughts, right? So that's the intro and that's where you generally start with meditation. Then once you realize how powerful that that is, you'll start to move into more interesting. Once, once you feel the effects of that, you'll go, Wow. This shit really works, . It's crazy. And so you start to see the positive effects and that, and it starts to make you realize the power that you have through intentionality, through sheer willpower. You can rid yourself of your anxiety by rid yourself of that monkey mind, at least as often as possible. Now, the next step that you'll take and, and or can take in that journey is something like K yoga, Something like transcendental meditation is something like, um, you know, these, these different, more, uh, more in depth, more wild types of meditative techniques that yield different interesting results. Okay? So one of those ideas, and where we started from with this was, um, the idea of, um, let's see, where is it? Uh, he talks about. The idea of calling on a higher self, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. And so an experience that I've had with this, which was truly very po, I've, I've, I've had probably three super unbelievably impactful meditations that have changed their trajectory of my life forever. Um, and again, I'm, I'm generally, I'm a, a type, hyper logical person. It was, it was with some, you know, I have a, I have a draw towards these types of, you know, meditations and yoga and things that I find to be interesting for my personality type. But, um, I tend to be a hyper logical person. But you, once you start to enact these things, it's hard to deny the effects of them. So I did a, I found a, you know, I used to wake up every morning at like six 30 in the morning and I would come downstairs to my, you know, my basement. I would have my yoga mat there. I would lay down and I would do some type of yoga or some type of meditation, and I would alternate. I would do yoga. Then the next morning I'd do meditation. I would do yoga. And then the next morning I do meditation. And I found this transcendental meditation on YouTube. And if I can find it, I will link it in this week's subst stack. And if you haven't joined your subst, you should, uh, it's directly on our website, Red Pill revolution.co. You'll get all the links, all the articles, everything we're talking about today will be directly on the Subst stack. So go there, sign up, give your email, you'll get everything that we're talking about here. Okay? And including, if I can find this me. I will post it in there. It's on YouTube, and I believe it was a 10 megahertz, um, was the, the frequency that was used in it. And so, um, I laid down, and what this had you do is it had you get to the most calm state that you could possibly feel it. And, and you'll see people, like when they're meditating, they touch their fingers together, um, like they're index f or their pointer finger and their thumbs, right? The, the, the traditional, you know, funky, weird meditative sitting stance where most people aren't flexible enough to sit their legs weird. Crissy I am, by the way. Um, but you put your fingers together, right? And, and what I've found is that when I'm in a deeply meditative state, I find that the feeling of my fingertips goes away. It's a really wild phenomenon, but I know I'm there. I know that I've met this, you know, this deeper state of consciousness when I no longer know the room that I'm in. I'm no longer, you know, laying in in the, the shower, right? Sometimes when I meditate, I'm no longer laying on the floor of my office. I'm no longer on a yoga mat. I'm no longer looking at a wall inside of my house. I'm in my own walled garden, my own consciousness that is outside of where I'm at in this world, in this time, right? But if I open my eyes at any given time, sure I'm still in that room, but it does not feel like it at the time. So you lay down. And this, this guided meditation, this transcendental meditation walked me through the steps. And, and the idea was that you laid down your, you're calming yourself to the point where you can realize that your consciousness is a ball of energy, right? Your being, your soul is this ball of energy. And as you relax more, it walks you through the process of realizing there's a window in the room. And as you start to remove yourself, that, that ball, that blue light of energy or whatever color you give it, as you start to remove that from your vessel, from your body, in this meditation, it tells you that there's a window in the room or there's a door. And through this door and through this pathway, You will, if your soul, your consciousness will float up through this window. And as it escapes from the room that you're in right now, you will walk into a long hallway, or at least this is how I visually perfectly remember this meditation, which was maybe a couple years ago at this point. But I vividly imagine, I vividly remember this because I was literally here. So it walked me through. I walked, you know, I floated through this hallway, and on either side of me were these, uh, weird, like capsule looking things. Almost like the, you know, how you would picture the cryogenic chambers that people get frozen in when they go to space. It was kind of weird, you know, But each one of them, each one of these, you know, capsules on each side of me were closed off glassed in windows that I could look into. And each one of them was a, a, a different version of myself, a different, uh, a different variation of my being and a different reality. . It was crazy. Trust me, I, I wouldn't believe this either if I was you, but it, it was, it was really interesting. Think of it, even if it's hard to remember, imagine this as a, think of it like a dream. I was floating through this room, down this hallway that, that turned in this really interest, like perfectly circular angle around this corner that I never had to get to, because by the time that I'd noticed each of these vessels, I looked at each of them and there was almost like as if there was this, you know, monitor on each outside of it, which, which told me the personality traits of this individual that told me their drive, their work ethic, their, um, you know, their attachment to love and, and, and their ability to be compassionate and caring and their, uh, grind, you know, their, their ability to, to go after a goal and their tenacity and their, you know, all of these different personality traits of all these different vessels down this hallway of all these different variations of who I am as a person in different realities. And so I walked along this hallway and I, I looked at each one of these vessels and I, and I felt a, a magnet or a magnetism to a certain one of these, you know, uh, encapsulated versions of myself, . And so I walked up to this glass window and I felt who this version of me was, and I realized that's the best version of me that I need for this time in my life to be a compassionate, empathetic father, to be a good friend, to be a hard worker that's successful working towards my goals. And so I, I found that the color, when I, I realized that I was going to basically embody the traits of this variation of my personality. Um, and so what, what I felt in that moment was the color of the orb that I removed from my body back in my office, laying on the floor on a yoga mat. The, the color of my consciousness that that energy ball that floated through this hallway changed into a different color. It was wild. And as I follow, as I did that, I, it, it called me back. And I, I walked, you know, floated back through this hall as this new variation of who I was and found myself back through that window that I came in from back into The body that I had was given in this reality, but with the renewed sense and qualities and traits of the version of myself that I found in that room, crazy . It was wild, right? So this is like, I, I'm fairly positive it walked me through a majority of that experience and, um, It was so crazy, and right around that time, I had a turning point in, in my, you know, what I did in my life. It, it caused me to rethink the day to day habitual actions that I was taking, the trajectory that I was on for my career, the, the things that I enjoyed doing. It made me question all of that, and it made me embody the traits of, of the compassionate father that I saw myself as, or felt myself as in that different world that, that, that hallway that I walked down. It was such a powerful experience, and to know that I could access that room at any given time that I needed. Right. Whether I needed to, to change my personality traits, to, to be a better father, to be a better husband, to be a harder worker, to, to change my career, to have the balls, to go after a dream, like starting a podcast with the hopes of turning it into a successful career. It took me being a better version of myself than I knew I was in that moment before I left this room that I'm sitting in right now on the floor on a yoga mat. I knew it took more than that to be who I needed to be to get where I wanted to go, and I found who I could be in that meditation, and I brought that wa back with me and it's never left since. It's, it's such a crazy experience. Okay. That, that all to. That I 100% believe that this is possible. Right? Improved problem solving by calling on a higher self, which is expand, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. I could have found any number of variations of personality traits that I needed to embody to reach my goals, to be a better person, to be who I wanted to be in that room. And I found it, and I brought it back with me and IEM embodied it. Okay? It was wild. It was crazy. You might not believe me, but it, it had a tremendous effect on my life, okay? And by now, you know, I, I don't bullshit. I don't talk. I, I don't just talk to talk. That was a crazy, unbelievable experience that I had. And if somebody told me, and I never meditated before, I wouldn't believe you either. Um, but that was one of the three really impactful meditations, one of the really impactful spiritual journeys that meditation has taken me on. And I'll walk you through the others at some point in this conversation today as well. But that one was crazy. All right, now it goes on to talk about, um, patterning, projecting the will into the universal hologram and the attempt to manifest a new reality. Um, some people refer to that as reality shifting. If you've ever seen the movie Everything Everywhere all the time or some shit like that, it's like everywhere. Everything everywhere all the time. I'm pretty sure that's the name of it. It's probably one of my top three movies it's ever I've ever watched. I love this movie. It's an unbelievable movie. It talks about the multiverse, it talks about different realities. It talks about this reality shifting idea, right? And, and calling on yourself from a different, you know, variation of your reality where you are, you know, have different personality traits, a different career projection, that you have a different. Uh, husband or wife or, you know, all of these different splits that you changed your reality based on a tree of decision making. Right? And I think that's a really interesting concept is, is that every decision that you make in this life splits off into a different un unlimited amount of realities, right? And, and so whether or not, you know, my wife and I met in high school and we're now married 10 years later, right? We, we stayed together that entire time, but on a different reality that didn't happen, right? We didn't meet each other in digital photography class in high school, . And, um, we didn't have three children together and we didn't get married in Paris and we didn't do all of these things. And, and somewhere I'm a lonely, uh, drunk who has no life goals,  at all, because I didn't meet my wife in high school, right? And so there's all of these splits that happen. Simultaneous level at any given time based on the reactions that you make to the stimulus that's taken in, right? Even just by talking about this meditation today, even by just having that conversation that we just had, I might have impacted your life in a way that you go home and you're interested now in trying meditation. And just by doing that, you split your reality from being somebody who never tried meditation to somebody who subdues their monkey mind on a daily basis, rids themself of anxiety and depression and lives the up to the full potential of your life that you could possibly have. All because of this one weird, crazy instance that you so happen to click on this podcast and listen to me talk about this. Right? And so I think that idea. I think that almost every decision that you make in your life, it, it branches you off into a different multiverse reality. And by doing so, you specifically manifest your reality through your thoughts because your thoughts are what drive your decisions. Your thoughts literally shape the reality around you at any given time, specifically by pushing you into a different possible reality than you would have been had you make a different, had you made a different decision and a different you in a different world, which is brought to us by string theory, right? The idea that there's all these consistent realities going on simultaneously around the world and time and space really doesn't exist, and all these wild theories that are now basically being accepted by science today come into play. Every decision you make branches off into a different reality. Every decision that you make turns you into a different you that you would've been and somewhere existing at this exact same time as the you that didn't make that decision. That has a different life is a different result of basically every decision and thought that you've ever had. It's a crazy thought, right? It's it's a unbelievably crazy thought, um, and it leads you into the simulation theory and it leads you into all these really interesting thought experiments, right? But it all starts kind of with that idea. Go watch that movie. If you want a little bit of insight into what the idea of the multiverses and an unbelievably entertaining and funny, and hilarious, and serious, and it's probably one of my favorite movies of all time, everything everywhere, all the time. Go watch it all. But that talks about the reality shifting, Right? By by specifically doing, you know, a, a, a, making a different decision in life, you're, you're jumping from this reality into a different one. Okay. Now it says that the, um, let's see. Color breathing and energy bar tool techniques are meant to stimulate healing effects on the body through the use of visualization. Out of body experiences allow individuals to exit their bodies and explore the physical world and beyond. This aspect of the gateway process is what McDonald finds to have been the most potential for use in intelligence operations as it would allow instantaneous information gathering. However, he knows that the process seems to garble and distort information being gathered, limiting its efficacy. The analysis of gateway process is a deep exploration into something seemingly supernatural remote viewing. And out of body experiences would revolutionize information gathering. If individuals could be quickly trained and results could be dependably replicated, the gateway process would be an invaluable tool to intelligence and military. However, the practical applications seem to be an afterthought for McDonald. Instead, the document spends more time establishing a grand theory to explain how out of body experiences might be possible. The holographic world, the influence of will and our conscious minds escaping into a sub planky universe outside of space. Although the simple act of meditation aided by uniquely paired sound frequencies, there is one more odd detail remaining about this document. Page 25 of the document is mysteriously missing. The implication is that this page explored the practical applications in greater depth. However, it has not been included in the declassified version. A petition exists for the public's access, but the CIA has released a statement that they will never receive this page either or they never received it, either. One theory is that McDonald admitted this page to drive individuals to explore the gateway process on their own. If you're one of the intrepid souls looking to put McDonald's theories to the test, links to the Monroe Institute and Gateway tapes are included in the description and will be included in the subs. For those of you who plan to remain in this dimension, please share your thoughts in the comments below. Um, The 25th page has since then found, and I will go through that with you in a moment. But the first thing I need to do is go to red pill revolution.co. Sign up for the subs stack. Okay? If you're signed up for the subs stack and you are in one of the eight states listed, I need you to go in the description. I need you to go to red pill revolution.co, click the menu and get a life insurance quote. Okay? This is my only ask for literally anything, is if you want to support the show, you can do so by getting yourself and your family life insurance. Okay? I currently have eight states. I'm working on getting others. I've had people email me who I am still working on getting the licenses for, um, but it's a little bit of a process. So as soon as I get those, I will email you back and we will get you insured. If you are in one of those eight states that are already listed on that in the description here, you can go directly to the website, red Pill revolution.co, and sign yourself up for life insurance. Now normally what you do when you go to look for life insurance or health insurance is you're gonna put your information into a website. They're gonna trick you into thinking you're getting quotes. You're gonna put your phone number in there, and you are going to get blown the fuck up by every single insurance agent and their mama. They'll never stop calling your phone. You know, I can give you some advice if they start doing that to you because I was an insurance agent for a very long time, and I still have my active license, which is why I can offer you life insurance without being through third party companies. There's no advertisements at all on this podcast. The only thing that I ask is if you're in one of those states, go ahead and head over to the website. Sign yourself up from some life insurance. Protect your family because your ass is going to die. I promise you, 100%. Trust me, I meditated on it . But head over to the website, get a life insurance quote. Go ahead and sign up. If you have any questions, email me. Austin red pill revolution.co. I'd love to help out. I recommend a 15 year term policy at 15 times the amount of your annual salary that should basically get you covered. Um, no reason to get whole life, no reason to do any of that. It's basically a shitty investment. Um, so 15 year term, 15 times your annual income. Anyways, go ahead and hit the subscribe button. I love ya. Thank you for listening. Now let's go ahead and jump back. Into it. All right now, the gateway process, page number 25. Now, before I wanna do that, let's talk about what started me into this process and started me into this conversation because more recently I had a different, probably the most impactful experience of my life on the way that I view my family, the way that I view my friends, and the way that I view basically the humans around me. Now, this happened, I think two weeks ago now, and it's a fair, fairly, uh, you know, um, interesting topic to hear from somebody with a personality like mine. So I was downstairs. I, I had listened to a podcast by Tim Ferris talking to. Gads, uh, Gad Sied, Um, something along those lines. He was also just recently on the Joe Rogan podcast. Uh, let me see if I can find who it was. Um, but basically he is a guy who wrote a bunch of books, uh, Gad Sad, g a d s a A D, and he's a psychologist who has done, uh, meditative retreats and psychedelic experiences with groups of other psychologists or psychiatrists, and in attempt to see the healing effects. Um, And when he talked about these things, he talked about his experience with meditation, right? He talked about going on, uh, you know, doing this retreat that he set up for all these psychiatrists to figure out the, the helpful effects of something like iowaska. And they went to somewhere in the Amazon and they all did iowaska together. And he was told by the shamans that, you know, your energy is so dark that it's affecting everybody in the room. We can't break through to these other individuals because your energy is so deeply disturbed. And come to find out, he had an extremely difficult childhood that he was still processing and all these horrible things that happened to him, which makes sense. And also, he was a psychiatrist or a psychologist, one of the two who had been basically taking on the trauma of everybody, every patient he had ever had without any outlet for dealing with it. And these shamans basically taught him how to deal with the trauma of his patients in a positive way outside of using psychedelics, which was meditation. And so he found, uh, um, he found sad Guru, right? If you don't know who, uh, Sad Guru is, he was also on the Joe Rogan show. Very interesting guy. He's one of the, probably the biggest yogi gurus in the world today. The biggest, as far as like mainstream, yo, you know, American culture goes. And so Sad Guru is a really interesting character and I was interested in listening to the meditation that he put out there that this guy, um, sad. Or gad. Sad. A lot of sad going on here, . Anyways, so I listened to this, this, you know, meditation, this guided meditation, um, this mantra meditation by sad guru. And it talked, you know, it was very, very simple. I was expecting much more out of it than I, you know, not much more out of it, but I was expecting a much more robust meditation than what we, what I got from it. It was a 10 minute meditation where he basically sat there the entire 10 minutes and had you repeat that, the, the consistent mantra after taking a few deep breaths and relaxing your body and relaxing your mind and making you repeat the statement, I am not my body. I am not even my mind. I am not my body. I am not even my mind. I am not my body. I am not even my mind. And he repeated this for about 10 minutes, and at the end of it, it was a weird sound to hear because he started to do this, you know, chant or, uh, You know, sound, you know, the home kind of deal that you would kind of anticipate being, coming from , a yogi teacher, uh, in India. And, uh, the whole room that he was in, I didn't even know he was in the room until, you know, nine minutes into this where you hear it just echo through this whole room with this unbelievably like earth shaking sound. And so after that meditation was done, 11 minutes my YouTube went on to play, you know, just this background music. And I was so deep into this meditative state that I was sitting there and I got, like, pulled into this experience and that it might be a little even emotional to talk about. It was really interesting experience. So I, I was sitting there quietly and I remember, you know, being in a, you know, kind of getting to that meditative state, I couldn't feel my fingertips. I, I felt my oldest daughter. Come up from behind me and hug me and my daughter, you know, she's in first grade, so my, my oldest daughter come up from behind me and hug me. And, and, and so I felt my daughter do it. And then I felt my youngest daughter come up behind me and hug me. And then I felt my son come up from behind me and hug me. And then I felt my wife come up from behind me and hug me. And there was an interesting thing that it was from behind me. It's like, almost like I didn't, I didn't have to give anything to get this love from them, Right? Which is very true. And so they, she came up from behind. I, I felt the feeling of this like compounding feeling of love for my children and my. And then I just kept going. I have a very big family. I, my, my father came up from behind me and hugged me, my mom, my, my stepmom, my sisters. I have six sisters, each one of them all at the same time. Like this crazy, just expression of love, this feeling of everybody, grandparents, friends, all around me at one time in this singular hug and expression of love to me, without me having to reciprocate anything at all. Right? It was this overwhelming feeling of, of love and, and happiness, right? And so that was the first step. The first step was I, I felt every important person in my life at the very one by one in a compounding effect come up to me and hug me in this. And like I said, this is even, you know, that's a powerful feeling to have, right? And so the even exper re-experience that now just thinking about it is, is emotional. And so they, every one of these, just this compounding feeling, the, the best feeling you could ever imagine in your whole life is every person that loves you just coming together and hugging you at the one time into a point where it physically was not possible that all of these people hugged me at the same time, right? It was just the feeling, the emotion that the, the accepting of this love. And so that was the very first thing. The second thing that happened was I started to identify that between each person that came up to me. Some of the older people, not my children, but each person in my life had difficulties at some point or another, or trauma or difficult memories or childhood trauma with somebody else that was hugging me at the time. And so I remember walking step by step, person by person, facilitating basically, uh, a hug or an apology and an accepted apology and acceptance of that. Each person had their own systemic problematic issues that led to actions that affected the other person, right? So like, you know, let's say. Your Uncle Joe was a jerk, or as of a father and, and wasn't properly, You know, this has nothing to do with my family, but your, your uncle was a jerk to your cousin. Right? And, you know, and, and so picture your Uncle Joe standing in front of your, your cousin Jan . They really liked the, the j names and, you know, them just showing this expression of like, apology acceptance and then love. And then I would move to the next person, right? And, and my sister with so and so apology acceptance and love and, you know, my dad with, you know, the person that I feel affected him and, and him standing in front of that person as a child. Apology from that person, acceptance, embrace and love. And, and it just went person by person and person by person. And there was some deeply, you know, in every family there's always some, some difficult shit to deal with, right? And so there was this ongoing thing of every person who came up to me that I felt that embrace from, I facilitated the apology acceptance and love from the person that affected them negatively in their life from the perspective of them as a child, like even my own father. And I know some of the things that he went through and I, I vividly imagined him as a seven year old. In front of the person that, you know, I feel, you know, maybe he deserved or, or wanted, or, or could potentially look for an apology that would help him if he accepted it and then felt that embrace of love. Right? And obviously most of these people have probably gotten past these things, but, you know, for me it was really, really powerful. And, um, you know, there was, there was one person, you know, with multiple people that, that I felt that with, right? Facilitated my own, you know, feeling of being a child and feeling of the effects that that individual's actions had on me as a child. And then feeling the apology, the acceptance of that, the true acceptance of that apology, the understanding of where those actions came from, from like the systemic issues of where that person, what that person grew. In, and then the embrace and the love of that person and, and all the way through to some, you know, every person down the line had somebody in one shape or another that affected them in a negative way. And it was the facilitation of this apology acceptance and love in this meditative state. I'm literally visualizing every single person, one by one, dealing with their trauma, shouldering the burden of that trauma and facilitating the, the acceptance of that apology and the embrace of the love, and then would move on to the next person. It was such a wild experience because it gave me insight into why almost every person affected the other person was because somebody affected them in a negative way, right? If somebody was, um, a bad friend or a bad spouse, or a bad parent, or a bad this, or a bad sister or a brother, or this or that, or whatever, It wasn't because they're a shitty person, it was because they had been affected in some way that made them affect somebody else in another way. So it was like this domino effect of like shittiness of humanity that without the acceptance of the apology and the embrace and love would be carried by every person forever, because it's an ongoing cycle of trauma until you break that cycle. And so it was like, I was literally eight in the morning. I had to leave for work at eight 30 and it was some really heavy, heavy visualizations in this meditation that I was not facilitating this. These weren't thoughts that I was, now I'm thinking this. It was none of that. I was being pulled through. It was like watching a movie in front of me. And even now it's like I just have these butterflies in my stomach because it was such a powerful experience. And so, Through, through all of this. By the end of it, I'm just had f from the very beginning, from the, the feelings of the embrace of every person that loved me simultaneously from the behind. Um, obviously if you really felt that every person loving you is simultaneously at one time, and you truly felt that the way that your spirit is, you know, fulfilled at that time, you just like I did, would start, I just broke down and, you know, it was just such a positive experience. I, I really haven't had too many happy experiences in my life that made me cry and as a man, right. You know, I cried  and it was because of the love that I felt. Not something bad that happened to me, not frustration, but at the beginning of this, it was the love that I felt. And then it transitioned to those heavy burdened, you know, Uh, difficult facilitations of trauma and acceptance and apologies and love from each. I knew everybody's story deeply and intensely felt the trauma in, and, and intensely felt the interaction between that person who was affected as a child, literally, vividly imagining that person at that age and seeing the person that loved them, but didn't show it properly at that time. Apologizing, hugging, loving, embracing that person and the acceptance of that apology. So it was like literally burdening, getting, bearing the burden and weight of every individual's trauma in my family simultaneously. And then the positive outcome that happened by the end of it. And so it turned into that, right? And it was like, I was literally just taken on this unbelievable spiritual journey of all of this, you know, love and trauma and apologies and acceptance of those people in my family at one time. And at e

Stephen is a living legend. He is the author of one of my favorite books "Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul". He also recently co-authored a book with Kimberly Ann Johnson titled "Reckoning". Stephen started his career as a palliative care social worker in "the death trade", which, in short, is the over-medicalized, over-pathologized process of dying in the West. In this episode, we dive deep into birth and death, particularly when the two occur in the same breath. Death of children is confronting, and in our society, "kids aren't supposed to die". But what if they do die? Who has the language and courage to hold space for their grieving parents? This task has been vested to medical professionals, but we are just as incompetent in talking about death as anybody else. Instead, we resort to platitude and dangle carrots of hope that perhaps a dying child is merely an illusion. This conversation is powerful...and it was an honor to have Stephen on the show.

Kristin Lauria is likely the most highly skilled birth worker on the planet. She started in the U.S. as a traditional midwife, but, when her kids flew the coop, she joined Doctors Without Borders and has been attending to births in a variety of resource-poor settings, including Afghanistan and a refugee camp in South Sudan. Because surgery is hard to come-by in these locations, she has become highly skilled at facilitating vaginal birth - low-lying placenta, breech, TOLAC, etc. In this conversation, we talk about the de-skilling of obstetricians in the U.S. due to our low threshold for using our surgical steel. We also talk about her role as the caretaker of orphaned children resulting from maternal death in childbirth, hepatitis E, blood transfusions without a blood bank, and sitting with the death of a newborn.

Jacqueline Wolf, PhD, is a history profess at Miami University. She has probably read more medical literature pertaining to the history and consequences of c-section in the United States. She is the author of an AMAZING book called "Cesarean Section: An American History of Risk, Technology, and Consequence". 30-40% of babies in the U.S. are born by c-section, and the rate doesn't seem to be in decline any time soon due to the universalization of continuous fetal heart monitoring. Litigation against doctors for things out their control in birth makes matters even worse. With the advent of FHR monitoring, we have seen an increase in c-section rate without any benefits to mom or baby. Womp. This episode is (insert fire emoji)!

We realize it's been since April that we did our last Substantive Cinema (a great show with Tyler Huckabee that you should all listen to and share with others if you haven't yet!), the perils of pivoting release schedules but we're back on track with an excellent one! Jordan Peele's 2017 directorial debut Get Out was a smash commercial and critical success (and we had Eugene Park on to discuss that back on Ep #62, link is below). Anticipation and expectations were high for his follow up two years later, and though his next effort, Us, released to very mixed reactions, there's an abundance of substance there and we had a great time revisiting it as we look forward to his next movie, Nope, releasing this coming weekend! Give it a listen and send us an email or a voicemail and let us know what you thought of the film and our takeaways. And let us know if there's someone you think we should reach out to for inevitable SC episode on Nope!
