Tonight, we'll read an Icelandic fairy tale called “Litill, Tritill, the Birds, and the Peasant Lad” translated and edited by Mrs. A. W. Hall and published in 1897. Like many folk and fairy tales, the exact origins are complicated and sometimes unclear. The more well-known Crimson Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang cites this story as having Hungarian origin. However, there are at least two earlier publications that are specifically Icelandic compilations that include this story. Iceland has a rich tradition of storytelling, with folktales passed down through oral tradition for centuries before being committed to print. Stories often traveled across borders and were reshaped by local customs, so it's not surprising to find the same tale appearing in different collections with varied national attributions. What remains consistent in this version is its distinctly Icelandic sensibility—featuring a humble protagonist, mysterious helpers, and a clever unraveling of magical obstacles, all set against the stark yet enchanted landscapes typical of Northern European lore. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Mokuhanga is carried by those with a desire to explore the medium to its fullest, to foray into uncharted territory, to educate many, and to draw more people to the art form. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Vladimir Ivaneanu and Soetkin Everaert, co-founders of the Japanese print promotion project Mokuhanga Magic! We discuss how Mokuhanga Magic! began, exploring the mokuhanga journeys of both Soetkin and Vladimir, dive into the art of collaboration, share stories of their travels to Japan, and reflect on the current state of mokuhanga today.

In this clip from The Afterlight Podcast with Lauren Grace, Cassie Uhl underscores the importance of discernment in working with intuition. She points out that, as humans, we're imperfect and can misinterpret intuitive signals. Cassie introduces the concept of a “discernment pie”—a practice that involves pausing before accepting intuitive hits as truth and considering factors like cultural conditioning, personal biases, and the influence of mentors and teachers. This thoughtful approach helps ensure that not everything we perceive intuitively is taken at face value, reminding us that responsible spiritual practice includes critical reflection and ongoing self-awareness.

In this episode, Arianna Ray joins me in conversation about the history of representations of Africans in early modern prints within the Dutch Atlantic. Arianna is a PhD candidate in art history at Northwestern University and a current Fulbright Fellow based in the Netherlands. She specializes in early modern Northern European prints in a global context with a particular interest in materiality. Her dissertation, “Paper Skin: Printing Blackness and Materializing Race in the Early Modern Dutch Atlantic,” investigates how the color binary inherent to printmaking epidermalized race in engravings, etchings, and mezzotints of African Diasporic peoples. 

In this episode of Platemark, Ann talks with Susan Dackerman, a curator and art historian specializing in Northern European print culture. They discuss Susan's recent book, Dürer's Knots: Early European Print and the Islamic East, which looks at the artist's relationship to the Islamic world, revealing groundbreaking insights about the intersection of early modern printmaking and contemporary history.  Susan's book covers three of Dürer's prints or print series. The first section looks at The Sea Monster (Das Meerwunder), c. 1498, and postulates that it chronicles the return to Venice of Caterina Cornado following her forced abdication as the last queen of Cyprus in 1489. Susan pieces together the narrative, which often claims to be about the abduction of a woman on the fins of Neptune. The second section looks at a series of six woodcuts Dürer made to mimic the designs of silver inlay found in Mamluk brass bowls. Susan has an intriguing theory about the Knots's connection to a set of engravings by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. The final section looks at the iron etching Landscape with a Cannon, 1518, and answers the question why make this image as an etching rather than an engraving. The book challenges traditional narratives and recasts Dürer's prints that reference the Islamic East as much more nuanced and reflective of contemporaneous history. Susan's book is clear, concise, and thoughtful, and well worth the read.

Baltic Porters, a beer famous in Eastern Europe, is a unique brew for sure. Born out of the love and thirst for English porters in the 18th and 19th centuries, Eastern European and Northern European brewers took their own access to local ingredients and made a new style out of the original porter and in this, fundamentally changed the way we think about dark beer. For one, most of the Baltic porters are made with lager yeast, a sharp contrast to other porters in America and England brewed with ale yeast. Baltic porters can also be higher in ABV, with the famous Polish Baltic porter Żywiec (pronounced “Shoe-Vee-Its”) being a whopping 9.5% ABV. So what is the history behind this beer style and how do modern Polish and American commercial brewers brew it? We talk to two brewers: one from Poland and one from America to see what approaches they take with this fascinating style.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

Will this Christmas hold the promise of light after dark? Today is Christmas Eve, a connection to some of the most ancient of all-known Northern European shamanic traditions. Like people living in the North for millennia, we continue to embrace them with regional, national, and religious tweaks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yule is a pagan celebration rooted in Northern European traditions, marking the winter solstice (around December 21–22). It celebrates the return of the sun and the renewal of life. Common customs include burning a Yule log, decorating with evergreens, feasting, and honoring nature's cycles. Christmas, on the other hand, is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25. While it has religious significance, many of its traditions, like decorating trees, gift-giving, and festive gatherings, were influenced by earlier Yule customs. The two share similarities in timing and rituals but differ in cultural and spiritual focus: Yule is tied to nature and the solstice, while Christmas centers on Christian theology.

The Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law contributed much-needed progress but has not completed the transition — only approximately 21% of total utility-scale electricity generation in the United States comes from renewables. According to the World Resources Institute 31 gigawatts of solar energy capacity was installed in the U.S. in 2023, up 55% compared to 2022. But now we are entering the second Trump era, facing an administration that, despite its hostility to renewables oversaw a 12% decrease in emissions during the first Trump Administration. Is renewable energy unstoppable? Tim Montague, a trusted advisor in the solar and energy storage industries, host of the Clean Power Hour podcast, and an advocate for clean energy innovation, says the transition is inevitable. Whether you have access to locally produced solar power, community solar programs, or the ability install photovoltaic panels on your home or business, the investment will pay off financially and environmentally. Twenty-four states have community solar regulations and 42 states have some form of net-metering legislation in place, though many receive low ratings from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council's https://freeingthegrid.org/.The green transition question is whether the United States will be a leader or a laggard, and if a laggard, how we will ultimately be competitive in a world where photos, not fossil fuels, drive the engines of industry and transportation? As Tim explains, U.S. scientists and engineers have invented most of the clean technologies in use but have not consistently turned them into commercial successes. Yet, Northern European countries and China are racing ahead with the transition — and China now leads the world in the export of electric vehicles. Economic and political leadership in the world are built on innovation, including the integration of natural climate restoration practices into the electric grid, industrial production, and foreign policy strategies if we want to emerge from the fossil fuels era as a leader.

In 2021 Joe Cemlyn-Jones finished second all around at the British Gymnastics championships and was selected to represent Great Britain at the World championships in Japan. The story of his first experience competing at a major championships is one of continuous setbacks and challenges. However he used those lessons to go on to become the Northern European champion just a few short weeks later whilst representing team Wales. Joe trains alongside the likes of Joe Fraser, Dominic Cunningham and Joshua Nathan at the city of Birmingham gymnastics club. He founded JCJ Bricks selling lego online to support his sporting career which has now become a very successful business and allows Joe to train full time as a professional athlete. Joe has goals to compete at the Commonwealth Games in 2026 in Glasgow and compete for Great Britain at the highest level in the future. And this is his story.

Elizabeth(EM) Blake has a recently released graphic memoir called Connecting Threads: Five Siblings Lost and Found.She is one of five children who were removed from their first family over time and placed in foster care, and most were adopted when young. She didn't know until decades later that she had lived with her first mother for weeks or months. Because of closed adoptions, it took decades to connect scarce information to find her siblings. She and her siblings have Ojibwe or A-nish-i-naabe and Northern European roots. Some are enrolled tribal members, and all have Indigenous heritage. After many years, they began to find each other, one by one. Because her siblings did not grow up together, it took time to know each other, feel solid in their identity, and develop a deep sense of belonging. This happy ending came after a complicated childhood with many challenges.Website: https://www.elizabethblake.us/Music by Corey Quinn

Azets Ireland has launched a new barometer which reveals that small and medium-sized firms are more optimistic about the future of the Irish economy than companies employing over 250 employees. The Azets Barometer Survey, which featured 111 responses from businesses across Ireland between April and May 2024, found that Irish businesses are the second most optimistic in Northern Europe with Irish respondents rating their economic prospects at 6.1 out of ten. The barometer highlights the growing levels of optimism among smaller firms in Ireland relative to their larger peers. Micro businesses employing 9 employees or less have increased their score from 3.7 out of 10 at the beginning of 2024 to 5.2 out of 10. Small firms employing 10 to 49 employees score 6.5 out of 10. The positive sentiment among SMEs may reflect a lower level of concern regarding warehoused tax debt, lower levels of inflation, and a positive outlook for economic growth. The biannual survey reinforces the correlation between business size and financial confidence with smaller firms in Ireland in a weaker financial position relative to their peers. Large businesses, which employ 250 employees or more, expressed the highest levels of optimism within Ireland's business community, scoring 7.1 out of 10. This compares to a score of 5.7 for micro businesses. According to the survey, Irish businesses ranked talent recruitment and retention as well as economic uncertainty (both 6.0) as the challenges at the forefront of businesses' minds. This was followed by geopolitical uncertainty and competition (both 5.8). In terms of investment intentions, the Azets Barometer revealed that 91% of Irish businesses are planning to invest in cybersecurity measures, with other priorities including recruitment and talent acquisition (89%) digitalisation (88%), employee retention (87%). Micro businesses place the highest emphasis on cyber security measures. Recruitment will receive the largest investment, with 44% planning to invest at least €60,000. More than half (57%) of micro businesses said they will make no investment in artificial intelligence (AI) over the next 12 months. In comparison, 96% of medium-sized businesses that employ 50-249 people said they will invest in AI in the coming year. The results of the survey reveal that the main challenges companies face related to talent are compensation and benefits (41%), competition from other employers (36%), and skills shortage in the labour market (33%). In comparison to their northern European counterparts, Irish businesses exhibit considerable confidence in their ability to attract and retain top talent despite the competitive labour market. Despite these investment plans and with businesses having battled against sustained economic turbulence spanning several years, the Azets Barometer found that on average Irish firms prepare their cashflow forecast 11.4 months in advance. Ireland has achieved the highest succession planning score among the surveyed countries, with an impressive 6.3 out of 10. This contrasts with 5.1 in other Northern European markets. This indicates that a significant majority of Irish businesses are actively engaged in fairly thorough succession planning and are integrating it into their overall business strategies. Neil Hughes, CEO of Azets Ireland, said: "The latest Azets Barometer indicates that businesses are generally confident about the future and Ireland's economic prospects. "Despite facing higher labour costs, increased costs, higher levels of regulation, and the payment of warehoused tax debt in recent times, it is positive to see the growing levels of optimism among ambitious owner-managed businesses. As we look ahead to Budget 2025, is important that growth in the mid-market is nurtured and encouraged over the coming months. "It's clear from the Azets Barometer that Irish businesses are prioritising investments in cyber security and people as they look to protect their data and grow their wor...

Here's a challenge for you: ask your social media followers if they believe money can buy happiness or bring it up at your next social gathering and watch people fight it out.Some say you can; some say you can't; others say that money cannot buy happiness like getting a box of happiness at the store, but it solves problems and greases the wheels that make happiness possible and attainable.But what if you've been looking at it in the completely wrong way?Growing up the daughter of a German immigrant father and a mother whose parents came from Norway, Susan Glusica was raised with what she calls Northern European mores, values, and habits. Like so many of my guests, she was raised with a strong work ethic but lacked emotional nurturing, which influenced her professional and personal relationships.Out of college, she started on Wall Street and eventually transitioning to financial advising. Her career went well; she moved from one job to another without ever posting a resume. Susan's values surrounding hard work got her noticed for doing the work of three people, which brought prospective employers calling her, rather than vice versa.Her husband was also getting his career going, and everything seemed fine, but you know what comes next – Fine is a 4-Letter Word.Susan felt that while she enjoyed her work and was very good at it, she wasn't creating a legacy for herself. So she started her own business, which she planned to make wildly successful by compressing ten years of development into one. While she built the business, her husband landed a great job so he could take over as breadwinner for a while. Then the Great Recession hit and he lost his job. Crushed by the burden of debts she had hidden from her husband and unexpected medical expenses, she filed for bankruptcy. Yes – the financial wizard who helped others create wealth filed for bankruptcy.But then a few years later, she discovered the seven energetic levels of money consciousness. Coming to understand the power of frequency and vibration, and discovering new terminology to replace the entire “money buys happiness” riddle, have since enabled Susan and her husband to create what some would consider an opulent lifestyle. If you, like so many, are struggling with money, this episode is a must-hear.Susan's hype song is “Soak Up the Sun” by Sheryl Crow.Resources:Susan Glusica's website: https://susanglusica.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanglusica/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SusanDGlusica Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyenergymastery/ Claim your free copy of “7 Prosperity Keys to Bring in More Money with Ease”: https://susanglusica.com/ Invitation from Lori:Now, if like Susan was, you're feeling like an imposter claiming you can help other succeed at something you failed at, the 5 Easy Ways to Start Living The Sabbatical Life guide could be the fresh-eyes look that changes your outlook.Once you read it, you'll ✅ Discover a counter-intuitive approach to making intentional changes in mindset and lifestyle.✅ Learn how to own your feelings and your struggles so you can address them.✅ Find out how to face fears, step out of your comfort zone, and...

In this week's bonus episode, Eleanor talks us through the surprisingly saucy history of glove making!Part of the "Dying Arts" series, we start by discussing where Eleanor's interest in the topic first arose, specifically in Renaissance drama, clothing and costume, before we then explore the truly ancient relationships humans have had with gloves, from Ice Age mittens to Tutankhamen's riding gloves, references to gloves in Classical texts and art, and the important positions gloves occupied in Northern European life, from medieval gauntlets to poisoned gloves, love tokens, and more.After chatting through the processes involved in actually making a pair of gloves, much of which involves some very silly terminology, we then explore how gloves appear in literature and culture, from Beowulf to the novels of Samuel Richardson and beyond, before ending in our current era of mass produced gloves, where their purposes are still surprisingly specific - not least if you're a soldier at war in the Middle East...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Widespread adoption of generative AI has the potential to boost Ireland's GDP by up to €45 billion (8%) in ten years, according to a report conducted by Implement Consulting Group and commissioned by Google. The increase is predominantly driven by a productivity boost to two-thirds of Ireland's workers. The report is part of a comprehensive study carried out between November 2023 and March 2024 that unveils the transformative economic potential of generative AI in the EU. Several countries, including Ireland, were analysed across the following areas: 1. The economic impact of AI 2. The impact of AI on jobs 3. Key sectors benefiting from AI adoption 4. AI readiness 5. AI and societal challenges Economic impact The 8% increase in GDP is largely attributed to a productivity boost to the majority of workers (66%) by augmenting their capabilities and enhancing efficiencies. The calculation takes into account the impact of re-employment of a small share of workers. At its peak, the productivity effect of generative AI in Ireland is estimated to be equivalent to 1.4% of GDP annually. A five-year delay in capturing the benefits of generative AI is estimated to reduce the GDP growth potential from 8% (€40-45 billion) to only 2% (€8-10 billion). Peter Burke T.D., Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment: "AI offers the potential to deliver a step change in productivity and growth in business, including for our SMEs. Our goal is for Ireland to be a leader in adoption of human-centric, trustworthy AI, as set out in our National AI Strategy, 'AI - Here for Good'. AI technology is clearly an enormous opportunity, and we must act now to seize the opportunity in order to harness AI technology for the good of both our economy and society. I welcome the publication of this research and Google's engagement to support Ireland's small businesses." Job implications Most jobs in Ireland (66%) are expected to be assisted by generative AI - automating a limited share of tasks and helping to create content including text, code and images, and collaborating with workers on complex problems. Unlike previous waves of automation that mainly impacted manual workers, generative AI is expected to primarily affect office-based professionals. An estimated 28% of jobs in Ireland are likely to remain largely unaffected by generative AI. These jobs include manual labour, outdoor tasks, such as construction and cleaning, and human-to-human tasks, such as personal care and food services. A small share of jobs (6%) are expected to have over half of their activities exposed to automation by generative AI. Key sectors benefiting from AI adoption The complementary role of generative AI means it can boost productivity across all sectors. Due to the vast size of Ireland's manufacturing sector (45% of Irish GVA), this is the area that holds the largest economic potential, where generative AI is estimated to boost annual productivity growth by 1.2% at peak, representing an increase of €15-16 billion. In contrast to past automation, such as robots, generative AI has the ability to boost productivity in the service sector, and many other countries are expected to see the greatest economic gains there. AI Readiness When it comes to AI adoption in Irish enterprises, Ireland is on par with the EU average level of adoption at 8%, but lags behind Northern European frontrunners such as Denmark (15%), Finland (15%), and Belgium (14%). In terms of research and development, Ireland cannot compete with large economies, such as the United States, and will therefore be dependent on EU-wide initiatives. Current gaps suggest that Ireland needs to focus on strengthening AI-related innovation drivers, such as the build-up of AI-related talent and research. Google has today announced a new AI education training pillar for SMEs in Ireland. 'Get ahead with AI' is a module offered as part of You're the Business, Google's digital upskilling programme delivered in partnership with Enterpri...

Portugal, once a haven for affordable living, is now starting to face Northern European-level rents while maintaining much lower minimum salaries, making it a challenge for both locals and expats alike. The phasing out of the Non-Habitual Residency tax benefits and the uncertain future of golden visas add to the financial unpredictability, diminishing the country's previous allure for those with foreign income. Although public transport and some services remain cheaper, overall costs, including groceries and dining out, are climbing. As a result, many are now considering other European destinations like Spain, Greece, and Romania, which offer lower living costs and new incentives. Despite these challenges, living in Portugal continues to attract those who appreciate its unique lifestyle, but thorough research is crucial for expats to determine if moving to Portugal still fits their financial and personal needs. In this living abroad expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, hosted by dual citizen expat Rafael Di Furia, we'll go over the current cost of living in Portugal, the impact of policy changes, and alternative European destinations for expats.

Tonight, we'll read our second-to-last selection in our “Woodcraft” series, published by George Washington Sears, under the pen name "Nessmuk." Sears was a writer and adventurer who penned essays on hunting, fishing, and camping for popular journals and magazines. This episode will feature the last chapter of the “Woodcraft” book. Next month, for the final episode in the series, we will read selections of the author's poetry, published as “Forest Runes”. In this episode, the author discusses his preference for clinker-built canoes over other styles. A Clinker-built (also known as lapstrake) is a method of boat building in which the edges of hull planks overlap each other. Clinker-built ships were a trademark of Northern European navigation throughout the Middle Ages, particularly of the longships of the Viking raiders and traders. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

As we pass the winter solstice and begin the end of the year holidays, the sounds of the season take on a celebratory and spiritual air. In the far northern country of Norway, it's always a white Christmas, and the music strikes a balance between the somber isolation of the long Arctic nights, and the cheerful lights and rituals of the holiday season. Northern European folk and classical music covers a wide range of emotion. In Norway, it's often plaintive and austere, yet full of intense feeling; a fusion of darkness and light — from joyful hymns and lovely wedding marches, to melancholy songs and solitary prayers. The resonant bite of the Hardanger fiddle, the rich cushion of the organ, the soft tones of the harp, and the extraordinary vocals — create a musical experience that's been refined and deepened for hundreds of years. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a Nordic holiday journey from our longtime guest producer ELLEN HOLMES of ADAGIO RECORDINGS, on a program called STARLIGHT NORTH. Music is by an all-star group of great Norwegian musicians, including fiddlers SUSANNE LUNDENG and ANNBJORG LIEN, IVER KLEIVE, the choir SKRUK and others, and singers ANNE-LISE BERNTSEN, VIDIA WESENLUND and SOLVEIG SLETTAHJELL.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Legalize butanol?, published by bhauth on December 21, 2023 on LessWrong. ethanol Alcoholic drinks are popular in most of the world. Excessive consumption of them is also a major public health problem. Bans have been attempted, sometimes successfully, sometimes unsuccessfully, but some people argue that alcohol plays a necessary role in social interactions. Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, which is metabolized to acetaldehyde, which is metabolized to acetate. In cells, ethanol is mostly unreactive but can bind to receptors. Acetaldehyde reacts with lots of stuff, mostly reversibly but sometimes irreversibly. Small amounts of acetate are essentially irrelevant, mostly providing calories. Acetaldehyde can inactivate enzymes by causing crosslinking. Large amounts of it are generally bad. We can separate out the effects of ethanol itself and acetaldehyde by looking at people who metabolize acetaldehyde slowly. About 50% of people of Northeast Asian descent have a dominant mutation in their acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene, making this enzyme less effective, which causes the alcohol flush reaction, also known as Asian flush syndrome. A similar mutation is found in about 5-10% of blond-haired blue-eyed people of Northern European descent. In these people, acetaldehyde accumulates after drinking alcohol, leading to symptoms of acetaldehyde poisoning, including the characteristic flushing of the skin and increased heart and respiration rates. Other symptoms can include severe abdominal and urinary tract cramping, hot and cold flashes, profuse sweating, and profound malaise. Individuals with deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity are far less likely to become alcoholics, but seem to be at a greater risk of liver damage, alcohol-induced asthma, and contracting cancers of the oro-pharynx and esophagus due to acetaldehyde overexposure. Wikipedia alternatives to ethanol Ethanol is what's in drinks because it's produced naturally by a common type of fermentation, it prevents growth of most harmful microbes, and the yeast produced has some nutritional value. But our modern industrial civilization is no longer bound by such prosaic concerns. Can we do better? ether Studies, including that of an ether addict in 2003, have shown that ether causes dependence; however, the only symptom observed was a will to consume more ether. No withdrawal symptoms were prevalent. Wikipedia Diethyl ether has the same direct effect as ethanol, but mostly isn't metabolized in the body. Some of it gets metabolized (by a monooxygenase) by oxidation to (ethanol + acetaldehyde), but more of it gets exhaled. Thus, it's similar to what ethanol without acetaldehyde production would be like. Diethyl ether isn't expensive to make, and there's lots of knowledge about its effects because it was widely consumed in the past. But it does have some problems: It's volatile and has a strong smell, so it's obnoxious to other people. It has fairly low water solubility, ~6%. Above 2% in air, it's inflammable. Pure diethyl ether exposed to oxygen can slowly form explosive peroxides. It's already been banned most places, and unbanning things might be harder than not banning them. butanol At sub-lethal doses, 1-butanol acts as a depressant of the central nervous system, similar to ethanol: one study in rats indicated that the intoxicating potency of 1-butanol is about 6 times higher than that of ethanol, possibly because of its slower transformation by alcohol dehydrogenase. Wikipedia Some butanol occurs naturally in fermented products. Yeasts could be engineered to produce mostly butanol instead of ethanol, but the maximum practical concentration from fermentation is low, ~1%. If it's 6x as effective as ethanol, then 1% would be enough for drinks. It would then provide a similar effect to ethanol with less aldehyde pr...

In August of 2023, the Food and Drug Administration issued something known as a direct final rule, disregarded trans fats in the food supply. Consumers won't notice changes as the rule just finalizes FDA's 2015 ruling that partially hydrogenated oils - trans fats - no longer had "GRAS status." GRAS stands for generally regarded as safe. We cover this issue today because this trans fat ban was the product of lots of work by a key group of scientists, the advocacy community, and others. The anatomy of this process can teach us a lot about harnessing scientific discovery for social and policy change. At the center of all this is today's guest, Dr. Walter Willett. Willett is one of the world's leading nutrition researchers. He is professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and for many years served as chair of its Department of Nutrition. He's published extensively, been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, and it turns out, is the world's most cited nutrition researcher. Interview Summary   There are so many things I could talk to you about because you do work in such an array of really important areas and have just made contribution after contribution for years. But let's talk about the trans fat because you were there at the very beginning, and it ended up with a profound public policy ruling that has major implications for the health of the country. I'd like to talk about how this all occurred. So, tell us, if you would, what are trans fats, how present were they in the food supply over the years, and what early discoveries did you and others make that led you to be concerned?   Yes, this is a story from which I've learned a lot, and hopefully others might as well. Trans fats are produced by the process called partial hydrogenation. This takes liquid vegetable oils, like soybean oils, corn oil, canola oil, and subjects them to a process with high heat and bubbling hydrogen through the oil. What this is doing is taking essential molecules, essential fatty acids like the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and twisting their shapes just subtly, and this turns them into a solid fat instead of a liquid fat. And, of course, the food industry likes this because our culture, the Northern European eating culture, emphasizes solid fats like butter and lard. Industry really didn't know what to do with all the liquid oil that they were able to produce by another process that was discovered back in the late 1800s. The partial hydrogenation process was actually developed in about 1908, and someone actually got a Nobel Prize for that. It wasn't used widely in the food industry till the 1930s and 1940s when it was upscaled because it was cheaper, for multiple reasons, to partially hydrogenate oils and turn them into solid fats like Cricso and margarines. I got worried about this, actually, back in the 1970s, when other scientists were discovering that these essential fatty acids are important for many biological processes, clotting, arrhythmias, inflammation, and counteracting inflammation. I realized while studying food science at that time that there was nobody really keeping an eye on this. That there were these synthetic fatty acids in massive amounts in our food supplies. Margarines, vegetable shortenings were up to 30% and 40% made of trans fatty acids. And that may me concerned that this could have a big downside. So, back in 1980, with the help of some people at the Department of Agriculture developing a database for trans fats in foods, we began collecting data on trans fat intake in our large cohort studies. And about 20 years later, we saw that trans fat intake was related to risk of heart disease. We published that in 1993. That got us started on the pathway to getting them out of our food supply.   Let's talk about how present they were in the food supply. You mentioned some things like margarine and Crisco, but these fats were in a lot of different products, weren't they?   Yes, they were almost everywhere. You could hardly pick up a product that had a nutrition facts label that didn't say partially hydrogenated fat on it. It was really in virtually everything that was industrially made in our food system.   Just because they could produce them at low cost? Or did they have other properties that were desirable from the industry's point of view?   These trans fats had multiple characteristics. One, they could be solid. And again, because they mimicked butter and lard, it fit into lots of foods. Second, they had very long shelf life. Third, you could heat them up and use them for deep frying, and they could sit there in fryolators for days and not be changed. So, this was all good for the food system. It wanted really long shelf life and started with cheap ingredients.   So, after those initial findings that raised red flags, what kind of research did you do subsequently and at what level of proof did you feel policy change might be warranted?   Within our own group, we continued to follow our participants. These are close to 100,000 women in the Nurses' Health Study, and also another 50,000 in the health professionals follow up study. We confirmed our initial findings and then found that trans fats were related to risk of many other conditions, from diabetes to infertility. And simultaneous with our work in the 1990s, some of our colleagues in the Netherlands were doing what we called controlled feeding studies. These studies take a few dozen people and feed them high trans fat or low trans fat for a few weeks and watch what happens to risk factors like cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels. And they found that trans fats had uniquely adverse consequences. They raised the bad cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and reduced the good cholesterol, HDL cholesterol. So, they had unique adverse biological effects. It was really that combination of that short-term kind of study and the long-term epidemiologic studies we were doing that made a compelling case that trans fats were the cause of cardiovascular disease.   So, a line of considerable work took place over a number of years, and then got to that point where you felt something needed to be done. And the fact that you did that science and that you were worried about these trans fats in the first place is impressive because you were really onto something important. But what happened after you did the series of studies? What steps occurred and who were the key actors that finally led to policy change occurring?   Well, as we expected, there was pushback from the industry about this because they were so invested in trans fat. And I was actually disappointed that a lot of our colleagues in the American Heart Association and others pushed back as well. They didn't want to distract from saturated fat. But, when studies were reproduced, it was really undeniable that there was a problem. But, if the studies had just been put on a shelf and sitting there, probably nothing would've happened. And it was really important that we partnered with advocacy groups, particularly Mike Jacobson, Margo Wootan at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, because they had a readership and audience that we didn't have. And they also were more familiar with the workings of the Food and Drug Administration and government in general. But I also was told somewhere around that time that women, who are the main food purchases, pay most attention to a lot of the women's journals, Family Circle, those kinds of journals. And actually, for good reasons. Their journalists are very good. So, I've talked to those journalists every opportunity. And it turned out it was really important to have some public awareness about this problem. If it was just good science and things worked as they should have, the FDA would've looked at the evidence and just ruled out trans fat from our food supply early on, but they didn't. It really took major concerted effort by the combination of the scientific community and the advocacy group.   Did you bump into conflict of interest problems with other scientists who were receiving funding from the industry and you know them talking to the press or speaking at conferences or things like that?   Well, there's plenty of conflicts of interest within the nutrition community, but actually, I don't think that was so much of an problem here. In some ways, there was a conflict of sort of personal commitment to entirely focusing on saturated fat and not wanting to see any distraction. I don't think a conflict of interest in the economic monetary sense.   Walter, I remember back when this discussion was occurring and industry was fighting back. They made claims that food prices would go up, that the quality of foods would go down, that it would be a real hit to their business because consumers wouldn't like products without the trans fats. What became of all those arguments?   It's interesting and it's important to keep in mind that the industry is not monolithic. And I have to credit Unilever, actually, with paying attention to the scientific evidence, which was really rejected here. Interestingly, at that time, all the major margarine manufacturers were owned by the tobacco industry. And you can imagine that those CEOs were not getting out of their bed in the morning and saying, well, what can I do to make Americans healthier? No, they were not interested in health. But Unilever was a food company and it was invested in staying as a food company for the continuing future. And they did realize that this was a problem, and they invested a lot of money to re-engineer their products, re-engineer their production of margarine and shortening. And they did take trans fat out of their products. They obviously did a lot of taste testing to make sure they were acceptable. And once they did that, the industry could no longer say that it's impossible to do it. It's sort of like the automobile industry when Detroit said, you just can't build low pollution cars, but then the Japanese did it and then they could no longer deny it.   Boy, it's such an interesting story that occurred. With Unilever getting involved as they did. That must have been a very positive push forward. They're second biggest food company in the world.   That was really helpful. And again, I think it was because they had a lot of scientists, both nutritionists and food chemists. I was told they had about 800 such employees at that time. They could see, if you looked at the evidence honestly, this was a serious issue. One of their chief scientists later told me that it was actually one of our editorials in the American Journal of Public Health where we estimated that there would be about 80,000 premature deaths per year due to trans fat. And once they saw that, they said, we can't have Willett going around saying there's going to be 80,000 premature deaths, and they realized they had to do something. It's interesting, you write an editorial, you don't know who's going to read it, but sometimes it hits one person who can really make a difference.   It is nice to know that people read things like that once in a while. Let's go to where you were at that point. You produced a lot of science. You were communicating this to professional audiences, but also to the general public with interviews and magazines and things like that. And the advocacy community, especially the Center for Science in the Public Interest, got activated. What happened then?   Well, a couple things happened. One is that they brought up and proposed labeling trans fat on the nutrition facts label and submitted that to the FDA. The FDA sat on it. There was, of course, lots of backdoor action by the American food industry that did not want to change what they were doing. And despite some prodding by CSPI over the years, that sat there for about 10 years almost. Ironically, there was a faculty member at Harvard Chan School of Public Health at that time who had seen a display we had done on trans fat. We built a big tower out of blocks of trans fat and had a little poster there talking about it. He went to Washington and became a senior person at the Office for Management and Budget. And Mike Jacobson went to go visit him with a petition to label trans fat, and our faculty person said, I know about trans fat because Willnett had that display in our cafeteria. He wrote a letter to the FDA that was quite unprecedented, basically saying that either put trans fat on the food label or tell us why not. Which is a quite strong letter. And then the wheels started turning, and there was delay and delay for a pushback on the food industry. But by 2008, trans fat actually did get on the food label. And that had a very major impact, because once it had to be on the label, the food industry took it out. They sort of knew it was coming because they didn't want to admit it publicly. But I think they understood for quite a while that they were going to have to get it out, but that was really the turning point. All of a sudden, almost all the food products had zero on the trans fat line there.   Let's talk about the public health impact of this. You mentioned 80,000 or some deaths occurring each year attributable to consumption of trans fat. Can we conclude from that that we're saving that many lives now with trans fat out of the food supply? And does that mean 80,000 lives year after year after year?   It's hard to know exactly and of course, so many things are going on at the same time. And the trans fat didn't go down abruptly because Unilever was, even in the American market, a pretty major producer, starting by the mid 1990s, trans fat intake actually did start to go down. And other things are going on, obviously obesity epidemic counterbalancing a lot of positive things that were happening. But, there were some economists looking at communities that adopted trans fat bans early on versus those that did not, and they could show there was a divergence in heart attacks and hospitalizations for heart disease. So it's hard to pin an exact number on it, again, because all these things happen at the same time. But it's quite clear that we would be having quite a bit more heart disease if trans fat had not been eliminated. I would also look back to another important step in the process because even though we got trans fat on the food label, and the products that had it quite quickly became, almost all of them, zero trans fat, but that didn't deal with a restaurant industry, which was also a very big source of trans fat. And there it took community activists to make this happen. There was a small community in Northern California that was really the first community that banned trans fat in restaurants, and a few other places did. But then Mayor Bloomberg of New York, there's another backstory why he got interested in this. But it's one of these things, you put out information and you don't know who's going to read it, and someone had read some of our work and to convince his health department and Bloomberg himself that trans fats had to go, and New York banned trans fats. And then some other communities, Massachusetts and elsewhere in the food industry, the restaurant industry realized they couldn't have a patchwork distribution system. And so that was a tipping point that trans fat was eliminated in the food service industry long before the FDA finally made the ruling. In fact, by the time the FDA made the ruling about trans fat and pressure hydrogenated fat, it was almost gone.   To go back and look at the history of this, it's a relatively small number of key people taking the right actions at the right time that ultimately led to change. And thank goodness for those people like you and Mike Jacobson, Margo Wootan, and Mayor Bloomberg, and a few other people in political circles that took the bull by the horns and really got something done. Very impressive. As you look back on this, what lessons did you learn that you think might be helpful for future policy changes?   I think there are a number of lessons. I'd like to think, first of all, that solid good science is really important. Without that, we couldn't have a hard time making changes that we need to do. But that's usually not going to be enough. It's really important to work with advocacy groups like CSPI. It's important, sometimes, to work with journalists and provide good information, education. But it's hard to know exactly which path is going to be successful. One thing is quite clear, in this country, in many areas, change does not happen from the top. It's not enough just to have good science. And oftentimes, changes happen from the bottom up at the local level, the state level, and the national government may be the last place where action occurs.   So what changes in the food supply do you feel would be most pressing right now?   We certainly have a lot of problems in our food supply. If you look around, most people are consuming diets and beverages that are quite unhealthy. And there are so many issues, I think, still and we've worked on this issue is a sugar sweetened beverage issue, and we've had some real progress in that area, but still, there's a huge way to go to reduce sugar sweetened beverages. But that's part of a bigger problem in terms of what we're consuming. And I would call that carbohydrate quality, that about half of our calories come from carbohydrates. In about 80% of that half, in other words, about 40%, of all the calories we consume are refined starch, sugar, and potatoes which have adverse metabolic effects, lead to weight gain, lead to diabetes, lead to cardiovascular disease. So that's a huge area that we need to work on.   You've talked, so far, with the trans fat and, you know, and with other things in the food supply like salt, these are things that you'd be taking out of the food. That all makes good sense. What about putting things in? Talk about things that might support the microbiome, more fiber, or things that might support brain health and things like that, so what are your feeling about those things?   You're right, our problems are both what's there in quantities that are unhealthy and also what's missing. Inadequate fiber intake is actually part of the carbohydrate problem. Clearly, we should be consuming many more whole grains compared to the amount of refined grains that we consume. And, of course, we get some fiber from fruits and vegetables. So I think, in addition to this huge amount of unhealthy carbohydrates and inadequate amount of whole grains, we do need to be consuming more fruits and vegetables. And then on the sort of protein source side, we're clearly consuming too much red meat and replacing that with plant protein sources like nuts, legumes, and soy products would be really important for direct human health. But also, that's an area where the environmental and climate change issues are extremely pressing and shifting from a more animal-centric diet to more plant-centric diet would have enormous benefits for climate change as well as direct effects for human health.   Bio   Walter C.

The Yule Goat is an ancient Northern European symbol of the midwinter solstice, a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. The practice of dressing up like a horned goat for Christmas has many examples in Scandinavian history, though only echoes remain. Friend of the show and historian of religion Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen has for the past few years aimed to remake a new tradition. Inspired by animism, carneval, Krampus processions in the Alps and samba he has started a Yule Goat Parade in the center of Copenhagen which this year will take place on the 16th of December. We talk to him and mask actor Petter Madegård about the thoughts behind the parade, the old concept of beings of darkness bringing the light at the turning point of the year, and the importance of renegotiating your relationship with the absolute Other.

In this fascinating deep dive on the history, biochemistry, and culture of rum with distiller Brett Steigerwaldt, some of the topics we discuss include: How Brett applies his in-depth background in automation, fluid and thermal dynamics, and systems engineering to design fermentation and distillation programs that create delicious spirits. The surprising connection between microbial research conducted on rum fermentations more than 100 years ago and the current quest for rum distillers to create fruitier, funkier, more interesting rums on a consistent basis. The odd tale of “Rum Verschnitt,” a hyper-concentrated ester-bomb of a spirit that made waves in the rum world in the early 20th century and MAY be the reason why Northern European nations are the world leaders when it comes to label transparency. How Brett's research has unveiled some serious potential for distillers who want an all-natural way to create specific flavors in their rums. And a fun little side project involving a unique Caribbean island and a sea turtle conservation non-profit. Along the way, we explore the interesting tension between technology and traditional knowledge in spirits, the rancid romance of Jamaican muck pits, how to program the replicator on the Starship Enterprise, and much, much more.

SHOW NOTES: Short summary: In this episode of Quantum Healing with the Angels, Sarah Webb shares a special channeling. Sarah decided to offer this insightful message since her guest had to be rescheduled. In this unusual channeling, five high vibrational beings come through to speak. Archangel Safalderon introduces his self as the Messenger of Music and talks about healing music. Edmund, from Travis' past life, comes in to speak about what it is like living in the Light, and about the Flash. Archangel Uriel comes in to speak and explains a special hand position that he calls the pyramid of light. He explains that it can be used to benefit humans in various aspects of life. He also explains the special gift pets are given to repel negative energies. Archangel Metatron comes in briefly with a message of encouragement and finally, The Source comes in to speak at the end. Tune in to gain knowledge and wisdom from the angels in this enlightening episode. Extended Summary: In this episode, as always, we dive deep into the power of knowledge and how it can transform our lives.  There is a special message from a new Archangel, Saphalderon, a new Angelic presence Sarah encounters at the beginning of the channeling, who describes himself as the “Messenger of Music”. Safalderon starts by singing a short song that he goes on to describe as “ancient music”. He says that it comes from Ireland and Norway, where there are still elemental beings such as Elves and Wizards and Unicorns. He also explains that where there are fewer people, there is more light. He says that our oceans are filled with Light.  There is more explanation about the Celtic music and that it can bring in Light. It is very special. Safalderon also discusses what happens when our different incarnations (what we call fractals) pass over into the Light. We also discuss how the negative energies tried to prevent the session from happening.  Edmund (a being from Travis' past life in England) checks in next, to talk about the Light, what it is like living in the light, and what people do for fun. He mentions that they sing, dance, and play games.  Sarah asks what kind of games and Edmund mentions Legerian games. Sarah asks what those are and Edmund says they are from the planet Legeria. He is full of humor and has many witty English sayings. His description are full of laughter and fun.  He says that when we return to the Light/Heaven, we have unlimited power. He talks about all of the things people do in the Light to have fun. He goes on to talk about how they are sending Light to the earth and how the Event/Flash/Wave will work when it happens.  Archangel Uriel comes in next to talk. He mentions he is proud we had the session regardless of the negative energy's attempts to stop it.  He explains a hand position or mudra that humans can use to repel negative energy, to help with meditation and astral travel, and even manifesting success.  He says you should do this as much as possible, and that it is very easy, there is nothing to do, it works on its own. He also explains how humans can use their stubbornness to fight negative energy. He says to not believe anything the negative energies tell you, to use your mind and to go around another way to succeed. He says there is always another way.  Archangel Uriel also talks about the power pets have to repel negative energies, and how they were given a special gift to transmute negative energy into Light. That is why having pets is such a good way to balance the energy near us and in our homes.  Metatron comes in for just a moment to say he is proud that everyone is waking up and feeling the light. He says to keep doing what we are doing.  Source comes in at the end. This is a surprise. Source says that the Angels always tell us this, but he wanted to tell us for himself that we are doing very well, that we are breaking through the lie. He says that is the way he created us, to use our human brain. He says we are all doing well.

00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:04,830 I am Sarah Webb. 2 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:10,230 Welcome to Quantum Healing with the Angels, the podcast. 3 00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:17,160 I believe that one of the most valuable gifts that we can give ourselves is knowledge. 4 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,810 The angels say that knowledge is power. 5 00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:29,490 In fact, they say that that particular phrase is one of the most truthful sayings on the planet today. 6 00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:40,260 Through my Beyond Quantum Healing Sessions, I receive knowledge from my clients in their relaxed state of hypnosis. 7 00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:47,790 Clients obtain information and guidance from their higher selves and other high vibrational beings. 8 00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:58,260 They often share wisdom and insights that are helpful for them and for others to hear through my husband's channelings. 9 00:00:58,295 --> 00:01:01,535 We also receive knowledge from the angels. 10 00:01:02,855 --> 00:01:11,915 They share extraordinary messages of light, love and encouragement that are meant to be shared with humanity. 11 00:01:13,475 --> 00:01:17,615 Join us as we share the knowledge we've received with the world. 12 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,570 Welcome to Quantum Healing with the Angels. 13 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:31,920 So we had a different plan. 14 00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:38,820 We actually had a plan to have a guest on, but life happened. 15 00:01:38,955 --> 00:01:44,054 And some things had to be changed, and I didn't want you to have to wait. 16 00:01:44,054 --> 00:01:47,625 So I have another channeling for you. 17 00:01:49,274 --> 00:01:54,945 And it is a channeling from last year, and this one is very special. 18 00:01:56,595 --> 00:01:58,515 So Archangel Uriel shared. 19 00:01:59,205 --> 00:02:14,235 A hand position with us that I believe people would call a mudra, and he explains what it does and how it can help you with quite a few things in your life. 20 00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:26,655 So if you want to see that mudra or that hand position, I will link the video that goes with this session in the show notes for you so you can take a look at it and. 21 00:02:27,195 --> 00:02:29,145 See what he was doing with his hands. 22 00:02:30,375 --> 00:02:32,925 Now if you do take a look at this video. 23 00:02:33,675 --> 00:02:36,945 Look closely at Travis's hands. 24 00:02:37,215 --> 00:02:39,285 We didn't realize this at first. 25 00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:54,285 Uh, we actually didn't see it until we watched it on our larger computer, but when he's moving his hands, there's light that is flying back and forth between his hands. 26 00:02:54,855 --> 00:02:57,600 So, That was pretty interesting. 27 00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:07,080 We, like I said, we didn't notice that at first, but you will see it if you look closely or if you can, um, look at it on a larger screen. 28 00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:23,280 I'm feeling a lot of strong energy coming in as I'm getting ready to upload this, so I hope that you can feel it when you listen and soak it up as I'm doing right now. 29 00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:34,910 We will have another episode up for you as soon as possible, and we're rescheduling our guest so that that will happen also as soon as possible. 30 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400 There's one more thing that I have to let you know about. 31 00:03:41,524 --> 00:03:51,125 For about the first 10 seconds of the recording, the audio is pretty low and I apologize for that. 32 00:03:51,815 --> 00:04:02,524 We had to change our recording plans at the very last second, so it does get sorted out at about 10 seconds in so. 33 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:08,360 If you can just give it that long, you'll start to hear more of what's going on. 34 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:12,170 I didn't wanna cut that part out because it's important. 35 00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:18,019 I think you can probably crank your, your, uh, volume just to hear it. 36 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,300 And thank you for your patience. 37 00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:21,649 I really appreciate that. 38 00:04:22,995 --> 00:04:34,635 So lots of love to everyone, and if you're in the US uh, it's July 4th, so we hope you have a very happy holiday. 39 00:04:34,695 --> 00:04:40,935 And thank you again for listening to Quantum Healing with the Angels. 40 00:04:48,645 --> 00:04:49,815 Who am I speaking to? 41 00:04:57,205 --> 00:04:58,705 Safalderon. 42 00:04:59,285 --> 00:05:00,355 Safalderon? 43 00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:02,250 Yes. 44 00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:03,510 I've never met you. 45 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:13,590 I was brought here from, from the music. 46 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:15,780 From the music. 47 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,210 Is that the sound I heard? 48 00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:22,710 Music coming from this body? 49 00:05:24,330 --> 00:05:24,419 Yes. 50 00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:26,490 I was summoned by the music. 51 00:05:28,039 --> 00:05:28,330 Okay. 52 00:05:30,109 --> 00:05:34,260 It was ancient music. 53 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:37,930 That's what that's, that's what that was. 54 00:06:04,844 --> 00:06:06,405 That was what I heard. 55 00:06:07,905 --> 00:06:09,885 I've never that before. 56 00:06:10,515 --> 00:06:13,034 I am the messenger of music. 57 00:06:13,034 --> 00:06:13,335 I. 58 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:19,590 Hear the music and I come and I send it back to source. 59 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,680 I am a messenger. 60 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,480 What do you do? 61 00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:29,430 A messenger of healing and that is how people call you. 62 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:40,980 Your husband is trying to get healing done for different things. 63 00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:46,440 And I heard the music coming from him. 64 00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:51,540 It is connected to his other life had. 65 00:06:51,540 --> 00:07:01,860 He was very fond of, very fond of his enemies. 66 00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:06,900 His enemies were from the north, they were. 67 00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:09,750 What you call Celtic. 68 00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:11,510 Oh, okay. 69 00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:15,270 He, he is part of him. 70 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:25,169 It is always a part of him from his and his other lands and from his other life. 71 00:07:25,409 --> 00:07:31,020 Which life was that when he was Edmond, was the Yes. 72 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:35,880 That was the only other life he had and he is connected to it. 73 00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:36,419 Okay. 74 00:07:37,275 --> 00:07:40,455 And he hears that kind of music. 75 00:07:40,455 --> 00:07:41,265 Sometimes. 76 00:07:42,555 --> 00:07:43,515 I have heard music too. 77 00:07:45,525 --> 00:07:50,835 You are connected to him as well, so that's the music I hear. 78 00:07:51,585 --> 00:07:53,234 It is from the other lives. 79 00:07:53,234 --> 00:07:56,655 You always have connections to your other lives. 80 00:07:57,015 --> 00:07:59,534 Oh, is healing music? 81 00:08:00,344 --> 00:08:03,495 It's healing music, yes. 82 00:08:04,604 --> 00:08:05,265 How does it heal? 83 00:08:06,659 --> 00:08:08,280 It brings in more light. 84 00:08:09,330 --> 00:08:18,419 If you listen to that music, sometimes it will bring you comfort and joy that music is connected to the light is 85 00:08:18,419 --> 00:08:30,570 connected to the other beings on your planet that you think do not exist anymore, beings that you call elves and 86 00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:32,775 wizards and 87 00:08:35,775 --> 00:08:37,814 unicorns. 88 00:08:38,155 --> 00:08:39,294 Oh, okay. 89 00:08:40,304 --> 00:08:41,174 I understand now. 90 00:08:41,174 --> 00:08:48,665 Those beings exist, but they hide and they don't show themselves anymore. 91 00:08:50,225 --> 00:08:50,645 Mm-hmm. 92 00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:54,685 Cause of the negative and frightful. 93 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:05,100 Tendencies that the humans have down, down here on this planet. 94 00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:10,620 Some people still see them every now and then in those parts. 95 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:21,870 They're mostly in the European area, on your planet, in the Northern European areas that you call. 96 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:26,760 Norway and Ireland. 97 00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:27,420 Yeah. 98 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:39,720 Those are the remaining mystic areas in your planet, and that's why yes, I'm so connected to Norway. 99 00:09:41,475 --> 00:09:45,795 That's where most of the light still generates from. 100 00:09:45,825 --> 00:09:48,675 That's why it's always so quiet there. 101 00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:49,595 Yes. 102 00:09:49,785 --> 00:09:51,345 And the wars. 103 00:09:52,365 --> 00:09:52,455 Mm-hmm. 104 00:09:54,705 --> 00:09:57,345 All of those things exist. 105 00:09:59,385 --> 00:10:07,995 They are merely out of your so-called matrix, the matrix cannot touch that area. 106 00:10:09,085 --> 00:10:09,305 Mm. 107 00:10:09,705 --> 00:10:13,875 That's why when people go to those areas, they feel free. 108 00:10:15,855 --> 00:10:23,895 They have technology there, but it is not as strong as in the other parts of your world. 109 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:24,155 Mm-hmm. 110 00:10:24,695 --> 00:10:30,795 Mainly the less people there is, the more light that comes through. 111 00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:36,420 Any remote area is an area that has the most light. 112 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:45,510 Most of your oceans have lots of light because there is not any disturbance out there. 113 00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,260 Your oceans are filled with lights. 114 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,359 Your planet is more water than land, so your planet has more light. 115 00:10:57,599 --> 00:10:58,020 Mm-hmm. 116 00:10:58,209 --> 00:11:06,045 Thus, The reason why we say the negative will never win because your planet is mostly light. 117 00:11:07,395 --> 00:11:12,135 The negative is just concentrated in the areas where there is more people. 118 00:11:13,905 --> 00:11:23,295 The oceans are healing, and every time you have a session like this, the light comes through. 119 00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:30,135 That's why it seems like any negative energy or pain goes away. 120 00:11:32,355 --> 00:11:37,905 That's why these kind of sessions are so important. 121 00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:42,225 They take away the negative energy. 122 00:11:43,815 --> 00:11:50,385 There was some negative energy trying to defect this session from the beginning. 123 00:11:51,195 --> 00:11:51,645 Mm-hmm. 124 00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:54,435 Turned off the computer in the other room. 125 00:11:55,155 --> 00:11:56,745 Yes. 126 00:11:57,465 --> 00:12:04,545 That's why it was a good idea that you did the session in this room. 127 00:12:05,365 --> 00:12:05,585 Yes. 128 00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:10,635 We had it set up on a Zoom call, but that didn't work. 129 00:12:10,635 --> 00:12:11,235 It shut off. 130 00:12:11,935 --> 00:12:13,475 So I'm doing it with my phone. 131 00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:16,285 I was keeping. 132 00:12:17,339 --> 00:12:19,620 The negative music from happening. 133 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:22,170 So they try to do it another way. 134 00:12:22,229 --> 00:12:30,000 They try to defect the electronics to try to stop the session, but you are smart enough to 135 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,780 know that you have other ways to do the session, and they know that and they are not happy. 136 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:38,099 Mm-hmm. 137 00:12:38,609 --> 00:12:45,120 But it doesn't matter if they're happy or not because the light is stronger than them and we are light. 138 00:12:46,829 --> 00:12:55,740 Music is powerful on the Celtic level and the Norwegian level. 139 00:12:57,090 --> 00:13:00,959 Their music is very, very filled with light. 140 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,730 Interesting. 141 00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:07,140 I had a message this week from the girl in Norway. 142 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,180 She sang a song to me. 143 00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:11,699 Yes, yes. 144 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:14,219 That was my gift to you. 145 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,959 That's why I wanted you to speak to you today, and that's why I've seen unicorns. 146 00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:22,770 Yes. 147 00:13:22,770 --> 00:13:25,770 All the time yesterday. 148 00:13:25,859 --> 00:13:26,719 All day long. 149 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:27,719 Yes. 150 00:13:29,349 --> 00:13:31,199 That is exactly why. 151 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:33,570 Oh wow. 152 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,560 I am very happy to speak with you. 153 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,530 I have always wanted to speak with you. 154 00:13:40,990 --> 00:13:45,690 Really, not many people speak with me. 155 00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:51,270 I'm sure a lot of people don't know about me. 156 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:52,320 Yes. 157 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,190 I've never heard your name before. 158 00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,800 Not many people have, so. 159 00:14:00,450 --> 00:14:01,830 Will you say it again for me? 160 00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:04,460 Alderon. 161 00:14:05,290 --> 00:14:05,780 Alderon. 162 00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:06,340 Okay. 163 00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,070 Yes. 164 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:21,000 I was also sitting here from your husband's higher self and your husband's past life being they are connected. 165 00:14:21,510 --> 00:14:21,800 Yeah. 166 00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:24,240 Yes, they are connected. 167 00:14:24,810 --> 00:14:29,160 I've been thinking about him a lot, his past life being a mean. 168 00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:39,855 When people go through their past lives, their past lives, stays up here with us, even when they go into another body, okay? 169 00:14:40,035 --> 00:14:41,625 You call them fractals. 170 00:14:42,585 --> 00:14:42,915 Okay? 171 00:14:43,905 --> 00:14:49,815 So every life you go through, it stays up here and it comes through every now and then. 172 00:14:49,905 --> 00:14:57,255 Then your temporary lies on your plan until that life is gone and they just. 173 00:14:58,635 --> 00:15:00,105 Stay

to learn different things in life. 379 00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:17,220 They have to learn to be negative sometimes. 380 00:27:17,220 --> 00:27:17,310 Mm-hmm. 381 00:27:17,610 --> 00:27:19,740 And it plays out in that life. 382 00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:19,830 Mm-hmm. 383 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,390 And then they come back and they got to learn to be selfish. 384 00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:25,460 Yeah. 385 00:27:26,290 --> 00:27:27,260 It's very weird. 386 00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:30,140 I think it's weird. 387 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,200 Yes, I know. 388 00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:35,110 I know. 389 00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:35,790 It's like playing. 390 00:27:36,060 --> 00:27:37,550 It's like I know a play. 391 00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:42,780 It's like a strange play where we're all playing the parts. 392 00:27:44,190 --> 00:27:46,500 It's pretty much like that way. 393 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,020 It won't be that way for long. 394 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:57,600 There are let people taking reincarnated lives because you are close to the end, so it doesn't matter. 395 00:27:58,890 --> 00:28:00,380 Yeah, I heard that. 396 00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:00,930 I have a. 397 00:28:01,695 --> 00:28:03,885 Client who channeled source. 398 00:28:05,475 --> 00:28:06,435 Ah, yes. 399 00:28:06,645 --> 00:28:07,395 Yes. 400 00:28:07,395 --> 00:28:10,254 Source is always there. 401 00:28:10,635 --> 00:28:11,054 Mm-hmm. 402 00:28:13,455 --> 00:28:20,835 He said that there is a moratorium on karma because so many are coming to help. 403 00:28:20,955 --> 00:28:21,405 Yes. 404 00:28:21,645 --> 00:28:23,804 That the karma has been put away. 405 00:28:23,895 --> 00:28:25,335 Yes, it has been put. 406 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,530 Away because it has been done enough. 407 00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:28,650 Okay? 408 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,140 And it's almost time for the light to come. 409 00:28:31,380 --> 00:28:41,970 So the children that are being born now probably will not grow up to be adults because the light is coming soon. 410 00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:51,900 So when the light comes when they're baby still, then they would automatically just go right back up into the light because. 411 00:28:52,695 --> 00:29:00,915 They won't be able to walk or take care of themselves, so they will be boom, automatically brought right back up here. 412 00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:10,575 The people that are in the light down there will just turn that planet into a light planet and no one will 413 00:29:10,575 --> 00:29:20,025 die anymore more, and you'll be able to transgress from there to here, back and forth, back and forth. 414 00:29:21,045 --> 00:29:23,535 It will be a light planet. 415 00:29:24,315 --> 00:29:24,555 Okay. 416 00:29:25,035 --> 00:29:31,905 And it will be just like this, no pain or anything. 417 00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:36,915 It will be connected to half actually. 418 00:29:36,915 --> 00:29:39,105 The whole universe would be like that. 419 00:29:39,105 --> 00:29:42,105 It's, this is not a thing that is happening in sections. 420 00:29:42,105 --> 00:29:43,875 The whole universe would be light. 421 00:29:44,445 --> 00:29:44,535 Wow. 422 00:29:45,015 --> 00:29:47,565 So it's all almost starting over. 423 00:29:48,135 --> 00:29:48,705 Yeah. 424 00:29:49,545 --> 00:30:03,975 Until the source wants to start over, which we don't know if he will or not, he could start over and do another, what you call a big bang and start over again. 425 00:30:03,980 --> 00:30:04,485 Oh, I see. 426 00:30:05,535 --> 00:30:05,565 Okay. 427 00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:05,625 Wow. 428 00:30:05,625 --> 00:30:16,005 But then again, he might not, we all are connected to source, but Source still has his own, what you call. 429 00:30:16,605 --> 00:30:20,475 Secrets because we don't know everything He knows. 430 00:30:20,475 --> 00:30:22,304 We know mostly what he knows. 431 00:30:22,605 --> 00:30:25,514 Oh, and what are you doing with your hands? 432 00:30:27,495 --> 00:30:31,875 I think I have to conclude now. 433 00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:33,825 Someone else wants to come. 434 00:30:34,235 --> 00:30:34,815 Oh, okay. 435 00:30:45,945 --> 00:30:48,655 Yes, I, I am here. 436 00:30:49,274 --> 00:30:49,495 Hi. 437 00:30:50,625 --> 00:30:59,625 I had to break in again to tell you that I'm really happy that you fought today. 438 00:31:01,004 --> 00:31:01,245 Mm-hmm. 439 00:31:01,544 --> 00:31:04,485 I could tell that you were very upset. 440 00:31:05,215 --> 00:31:06,225 I was for a minute. 441 00:31:07,294 --> 00:31:08,575 I was fighting very hard. 442 00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,740 The negative energies. 443 00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:14,850 Were really trying to make you upset. 444 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,310 Yeah, they were hurting my back. 445 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:26,730 Just different things, frustrations, and you fought it and I'm very proud that you did that. 446 00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:36,270 You went through with a session regardless of what they were trying to do to you, and I'm very proud of you. 447 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,110 Thank you. 448 00:31:38,115 --> 00:31:41,760 Everything is still going to plan. 449 00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:42,990 Okay? 450 00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:51,240 And I am happy that you are believing in that they are trying to put doubts in your head, 451 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,740 but you are getting used to it now, so it's starting to not work as much as it was before. 452 00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:01,950 They're going to keep trying regardless. 453 00:32:01,950 --> 00:32:05,250 Even when you are successful, they're still going to try. 454 00:32:05,850 --> 00:32:07,710 That is just what they do. 455 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,590 Even now, they're still trying. 456 00:32:10,899 --> 00:32:11,120 Yes. 457 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,879 I have pain in my head back. 458 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,920 Yes. 459 00:32:13,925 --> 00:32:18,660 Yes, and we are healing at right now because they are poking at you. 460 00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:22,620 They are really trying to make you upset. 461 00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:24,990 Keep putting doubts in your head. 462 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200 I just keep pushing it outta my mind. 463 00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:31,050 That is what you do. 464 00:32:31,890 --> 00:32:32,100 Yeah. 465 00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:41,820 And another way you can do is you can typically just ignore it because they think you can't ignore it. 466 00:32:41,820 --> 00:32:43,380 That's why they keep doing it. 467 00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:47,760 Oh, it is pretty easy to ignore the pain sometimes. 468 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:55,199 Mainly because, Most humans are really stubborn, so you can use that stubbornness to your advantage. 469 00:32:55,439 --> 00:33:00,030 You can be stubborn with the negative energies, so it's easy to push it away. 470 00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,419 They definitely try with thoughts too. 471 00:33:03,570 --> 00:33:08,970 They try with thoughts, they try with little things, and I will say this again. 472 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,250 Everything I say to you, I am saying to everyone. 473 00:33:15,645 --> 00:33:23,865 Anyone who is listening, if anything negative, tries to go in your head, be stubborn and push it away. 474 00:33:23,955 --> 00:33:25,245 Do not believe it. 475 00:33:25,515 --> 00:33:27,915 You have a mind. 476 00:33:27,915 --> 00:33:30,195 Use that mind to go around. 477 00:33:30,195 --> 00:33:32,325 Another way to succeed. 478 00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:34,785 There's always other ways. 479 00:33:36,375 --> 00:33:41,475 Concentrate on the pyramid of light and use that pyramid of light. 480 00:33:42,659 --> 00:33:45,060 Towards your success. 481 00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:47,460 How often do you have to do that? 482 00:33:49,020 --> 00:33:51,000 You can do it as often as you like. 483 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,060 You don't have to do it only when it's negative energies. 484 00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,179 Yeah, you should do it as much as possible. 485 00:33:57,899 --> 00:33:57,929 Okay. 486 00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:03,510 The pyramid of light is not only to use towards negative energies. 487 00:34:03,510 --> 00:34:06,300 The pyramid of light is you. 488 00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:09,719 You harness the light and you. 489 00:34:10,455 --> 00:34:24,045 Push it towards what you want, or you can just use the pyramid of light just for you to extinguish any negative energy that tries to get at you. 490 00:34:24,045 --> 00:34:32,535 If it's not any negative energy due to pyramid of light any way, that way they would not come anywhere near you. 491 00:34:33,525 --> 00:34:35,925 I was gonna ask you something about that. 492 00:34:37,005 --> 00:34:38,505 What do the cats do? 493 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,600 That makes them run away, makes them go away. 494 00:34:43,529 --> 00:34:49,049 Because if the cat catches them, the cat would turn the negative energy into light. 495 00:34:49,949 --> 00:34:50,170 Oh. 496 00:34:50,279 --> 00:34:51,779 And they do not want that. 497 00:34:52,500 --> 00:35:02,160 That's why they can't get anywhere near pets because they have light and the pets. 498 00:35:02,625 --> 00:35:04,155 Can catch them. 499 00:35:04,395 --> 00:35:15,675 The pets will jump out of their bodies with their light and latch on to the negative energy and turn that negative energy into light, and they do not want that. 500 00:35:16,635 --> 00:35:16,925 Okay. 501 00:35:17,235 --> 00:35:21,765 I was wondering the mechanics of it, and that is amazing. 502 00:35:22,465 --> 00:35:23,285 That's amazing. 503 00:35:23,625 --> 00:35:25,905 That's why they are terrified of pets. 504 00:35:25,905 --> 00:35:30,555 That's why it's always good for people to have pets in their house because pets. 505 00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:38,610 Are light and while your humans are sleeping, your pets might be sleeping too. 506 00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:46,020 But that's why we gave them really sharp ears so they can hear if you hear a sound in your place. 507 00:35:46,495 --> 00:35:48,795 It sounds like something is not right. 508 00:35:48,799 --> 00:35:51,435 That's a negative energy trying to scare you. 509 00:35:51,435 --> 00:35:57,495 So the pets will jump up and go after the negative light and the negative light would run off because if 510 00:35:57,495 --> 00:36:07,305 the pet catches them, they will turn into light and they do not want to have anything to do with that. 511 00:36:08,115 --> 00:36:12,615 That is why we say try to have a pet. 512 00:36:12,825 --> 00:36:14,565 Pets are good for. 513 00:36:15,855 --> 00:36:19,125 Anyone on any planet. 514 00:36:19,125 --> 00:36:24,375 It doesn't matter what planet you are on, if they have a pet, it's the same thing. 515 00:36:24,884 --> 00:36:32,475 Doesn't matter what planet you are on, any kind of pet you have, who would knock away the negative energies? 516 00:36:33,165 --> 00:36:33,495 Yeah. 517 00:36:34,035 --> 00:36:35,084 What do dogs do? 518 00:36:35,265 --> 00:36:37,044 Why do they chase them away? 519 00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:40,605 They chased them away the same way any pet would. 520 00:36:40,905 --> 00:36:41,925 Can they catch them too? 521 00:36:42,165 --> 00:36:42,585 Yes. 522 00:36:42,585 --> 00:36:44,715 It doesn't matter what kind of pet it is. 523 00:36:44,715 --> 00:36:44,745 Okay. 524 00:36:45,105 --> 00:36:46,965 It does the same thing. 525 00:36:47,685 --> 00:36:47,715 Okay. 526 00:36:47,775 --> 00:36:48,225 Wow. 527 00:36:49,095 --> 00:36:58,835 Even birds, so they can actually jump outside of their bodies and catch the energy and tr tr mute it into light. 528 00:36:59,505 --> 00:37:00,105 Yes. 529 00:37:00,435 --> 00:37:01,185 That's amazing. 530 00:37:02,145 --> 00:37:04,275 That is the way it works. 531 00:37:04,665 --> 00:37:06,615 Are people ever able to do that? 532 00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,315 If we hold enough light? 533 00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:09,840 Yes. 534 00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:13,710 With this, with that, the pyramid of light. 535 00:37:14,670 --> 00:37:18,780 So what does that do to, to the negative energy? 536 00:37:19,290 --> 00:37:20,610 It pushes them away. 537 00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:21,450 Okay. 538 00:37:22,260 --> 00:37:25,380 If you do the pyramid of light, it will push them away. 539 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,830 You won't have to jump out of your bodies. 540 00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:31,080 Your pyramid of light pushes them away. 541 00:37:31,140 --> 00:37:33,660 Pets are light. 542 00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:37,620 We on our side are light. 543 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:49,290 And you are light, but pets have a special talent to be able to jump out of their bodies at will. 544 00:37:49,710 --> 00:37:49,770 Wow. 545 00:37:50,399 --> 00:37:58,049 Humans could probably do it if they really, really know how the pyramid of light works. 546 00:37:58,049 --> 00:38:00,629 You can put the pyramid of light and you can meditate. 547 00:38:01,149 --> 00:38:01,440 Okay. 548 00:38:01,859 --> 00:38:02,819 And you can push. 549 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,680 Energies away is what you call astro Travel. 550 00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:09,720 S can naturally astro travel. 551 00:38:10,020 --> 00:38:11,700 They don't have to concentrate. 552 00:38:12,089 --> 00:38:13,290 They can just do it. 553 00:38:13,319 --> 00:38:14,490 They just do it. 554 00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:16,950 They have that gift. 555 00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:24,450 So if we practice that, then maybe humans have to meditate and use a pure bit of light to do it. 556 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:26,970 Pets can just do it automatically. 557 00:38:27,390 --> 00:38:28,620 That is their gift. 558 00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:30,330 We gave them that gift. 559 00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:31,650 So you. 560 00:38:32,174 --> 00:38:40,545 Can have them to give them love and they use their love as light and push negative energies away. 561 00:38:41,355 --> 00:38:42,674 Pets are a gift. 562 00:38:44,235 --> 00:38:44,745 What is that? 563 00:38:45,335 --> 00:38:46,105 That you're doing? 564 00:38:48,555 --> 00:38:49,755 The pyramid of light. 565 00:38:49,755 --> 00:38:50,535 Mm-hmm. 566 00:38:50,835 --> 00:38:51,185 Moves. 567 00:38:51,615 --> 00:38:57,105 It doesn't matter which way you do your hands. 568 00:38:57,165 --> 00:38:58,995 Okay, I get it. 569 00:38:59,654 --> 00:39:00,165 You can. 570 00:39:00,810 --> 00:39:06,780 Move your hands in any direction and the light still works in any kind of way. 571 00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,990 Well, how come your hands, why? 572 00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:10,800 Why hands? 573 00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:16,110 Because it's an energy area for us. 574 00:39:16,530 --> 00:39:16,920 Yes. 575 00:39:17,940 --> 00:39:20,700 Cuz if you do this, it expands the light. 576 00:39:20,940 --> 00:39:25,530 And even though you don't have your hands shaped like a pyramid, it expands. 577 00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:26,220 Okay. 578 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:26,980 Yes. 579 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:37,380 If you open your hands like this, It's a bigger triangle and if you go like this, it's a smaller triangle. 580 00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:38,190 Yes. 581 00:39:38,250 --> 00:39:41,550 But it doesn't matter if it's big or small, it has the same power. 582 00:39:42,140 --> 00:39:42,430 Okay. 583 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,950 So basically, even though this is the pyramid of life mm-hmm. 584 00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:58,230 As long as you use both your hands in an open manner, you have the pyramid both in open, big. 585 00:39:58,875 --> 00:39:59,715 Small. 586 00:40:00,585 --> 00:40:03,265 Then when you do this mm-hmm. 587 00:40:03,455 --> 00:40:09,255 Yeah, that, that this pushes the power all the way through your body. 588 00:40:10,085 --> 00:40:10,305 Wow. 589 00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:13,455 Which amplifies the healing effect. 590 00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:14,785 Okay. 591 00:40:15,465 --> 00:40:18,735 And it also pushes away negative energies. 592 00:40:18,825 --> 00:40:20,775 Negative energies won't come anywhere near you. 593 00:40:21,915 --> 00:40:26,055 Then if you do this, it amplifies your eyes. 594 00:40:26,265 --> 00:40:27,405 No way. 595 00:40:27,810 --> 00:40:34,379 If you do this with your eyes closed, it will push you into the meditation state really. 596 00:40:34,799 --> 00:40:37,710 And then you stop and you can meditate. 597 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:38,609 Wow. 598 00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:47,399 Like I said before, Irv, and if you look like you might look ridiculous, you can do it anyway. 599 00:40:47,819 --> 00:40:51,330 Those are the things that we try to teach people. 600 00:40:51,930 --> 00:40:53,520 Have you always taught people these things? 601 00:40:54,315 --> 00:40:55,395 Yes. 602 00:40:55,484 --> 00:41:05,085 The ones that know it mostly are the ones that you call the Mons in the Asian area. 603 00:41:05,174 --> 00:41:08,174 They stay in the high mountains in Asia. 604 00:41:08,415 --> 00:41:11,295 Those people also know how to levitate. 605 00:41:11,865 --> 00:41:14,365 Yes, I heard about that. 606 00:41:15,555 --> 00:41:21,674 I am very proud of everyone on your planet right now. 607 00:41:23,115 --> 00:41:24,734 There are a lot of people waking up. 608 00:41:25,665 --> 00:41:26,714 Is this Metatron? 609 00:41:28,545 --> 00:41:37,004 Yes, this is Metatron and I am here to tell you that we are very proud that everyone is waking up. 610 00:41:37,009 --> 00:41:39,645 They are feeling the

happen soon. 614 00:41:52,215 --> 00:41:52,995 So what you mean? 615 00:41:53,295 --> 00:41:53,985 Yes. 616 00:41:54,075 --> 00:41:54,495 Mm-hmm. 617 00:41:55,595 --> 00:42:03,225 We are very, very excited. 618 00:42:04,155 --> 00:42:11,325 The negative energies are fighting us as hard as possible, but they are not going to win. 619 00:42:11,895 --> 00:42:13,605 You keep doing what you're doing.

It's Wednesday, April 5th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Finnish Christian parliamentarian faces second trial Alliance Defending Freedom International released a statement last week on religious freedom in Finland.  It was the one-year anniversary of a legal victory for Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish Christian parliamentarian. She had been charged with hate speech for publicly expressing her Biblical views on marriage and sexuality. Despite the worldly Finish culture which rejects God's divine design, Genesis 2:24 says, “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.” However, Räsänen's case is not over as she faces a second trial. The prosecutor filed an appeal against her “not guilty” verdict and is demanding tens of thousands of Euros in fines.  Even though she won her first case, Räsänen said the process was like a punishment for her Christian beliefs. RASANEN: “I think that the process itself has been some kind of punishment, even though I got the acquittal from the court. It has been quite [a] hard time. But, at the same time, I have held that this has been my calling. It has been an honor for me to defend freedom of speech and freedom of faith.” Finland joins NATO Finland is also in the news for becoming the 31st member of the NATO military alliance yesterday, reports The Guardian. Russia's invasion of Ukraine precipitated Finland's decision to join the western military alliance. The Northern European country now has security guarantees from allied NATO countries like the U.S. in case of an invasion. Finland's new alliance is historic since the country has maintained neutrality since World War II. Trump arrested and arraigned in New York In the United States, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to more than 30 felony charges after he was placed under arrest and arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summarized the case against Trump. BRAGG: “Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump was arraigned on a New York Supreme Court indictment, returned by a Manhattan grand jury, on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Under New York State law, it is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud and an intent to conceal another crime. That is exactly what this case is about. Thirty-four false statements made to cover up other crimes.” Who is the Trump judge? Born in Columbia, the judge who will oversee Trump's trial is Juan Merchan, who grew up in New York from the age of six, the first in his family to graduate from college.  A former prosecutor, he has 16 years on the bench. Recently, he oversaw the five-week criminal trial of the Trump Organization which was convicted of 17 counts of tax fraud, reports The Associated Press. Judge Merchan also presided over the criminal case of Trump's former financial chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to his role in a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme. Weisselberg admitted to evading taxes by accepting $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation and entered a plea agreement, in which he testified against The Trump Organization.  The judge sentenced him to five months in prison. On Truth Social, Trump said, “The judge HATES me!” Will Trump be issued a gag order? One significant issue is whether Donald Trump might be issued a gag order, effectively silencing his ability to speak out. Fox News host Tucker Carlson was aghast. CARLSON: “There are multiple reports tonight that [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg's office will seek a gag order when Trump is arraigned that would prevent Trump, on pain of going to prison, from talking about his case in public. But CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times and the Washington Post, all the completely filthy, corrupt liars in the media, handmaidens to power, they'll be able to say whatever they want, because apparently their coverage doesn't influence the jury.  Only the accused defending himself [does]. “Well, it's not only unconstitutional, baldly so, it's also completely immoral.  And, above all, in the middle of a presidential race, it's a subversion of democracy itself. The leading candidate from the other party doesn't get to talk or you send him to prison? Wake up.” Yesterday, Judge Merchan told Trump, to his face, that if he incited violence, he would issue a gag order. West Virginia bans transgender surgeries for kids More states are ending so-called “gender-affirming care” for children under the age of 18 pretending to be the opposite sex. Last Wednesday, West Virginia's Republican Governor Jim Justice signed a bill into law, banning puberty blockers and sex-mutilating surgeries for minors. West Virginia and Kentucky join nine other states in passing such legislation. Florida Senate passed Heartbeat Bill On Monday, the Florida Senate voted 26-13 in favor of a heartbeat bill. The measure prohibits the killing of unborn babies after a heartbeat is detectable with some exceptions. The Heartbeat Protection Act now heads to the state's GOP-controlled House of Representatives. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill also includes tens of millions of dollars in funding for pregnancy centers in the Sunshine State. NASA to send Christian astronaut around moon And finally, NASA announced on Monday a four-person crew it plans to send around the moon next year. The mission is part of the Artemis II program. NASA hopes to establish a long-term human presence on the moon and eventually send people to Mars. One of the astronauts is Victor Glover, an outspoken Christian. He previously spent 168 days on the International Space Station for Expedition 64 that began in 2020.  Glover was known for taking his Bible and communion cups. He joined his church services back home virtually and took communion every week while in space. During his time on the International Space Station, Glover tweeted his view of the sunset, saying, “I love sunrises and sunsets. … They remind me of the scripture in Psalm 30, ‘weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.'” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, April 5th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
