Learn to Command The Spells of The English Language w/ Laurel Airica | Aubrey Marcus Podcast

in all our efforts to heal our psyche and raise consciousness on the planet we have all but overlooked the very instrument of conscious thought and communication yet our forked tongue english language which is the leading software of the western mind is itself in great need of retuning and upgrading over the course of my life i cultivated a heightened sensitivity to how the total normality of insanity in society is echoed reflected and reinforced by the english language laurel erica is an absolute delight of a human being to interact with she's the author of the book word

magic and her dharma is to go deep into the structure of words themself the magic that they hold the meaning that we might not be aware of she's also a prolific poet poetry just spills from her mouth as she utilizes words to elicit emotions ideas thoughts feelings if you haven't encountered laurel erica you're in for an absolute delight as i was delighted to have this conversation with her so enjoy this podcast with laurel erica the truth is is that we're all the master we're all the healer we're all the mystic give it up one time

for aubry marcus all right ladies and gentlemen put on your wizard caps because we're about to explore the magic of words and as they say they call it spelling for a reason and we're here with laurel who's going to explain how deep the magic goes into language good to have you thank you i'm honored and delighted and thrilled to be here with you and with your audience yeah so most people find my work through a video i posted in 2010 called the secret spells of the english language and it was somewhere like 90 000 views

five years later and then i got a phone call from a woman saying your video the secret spells has 55 000 views and i said no it's over 90 and she said i mean since i posted it on the facebook page of collective evolution three hours ago so a lot more people became aware that the language is using us we are its human instruments and it is filled with cultural biases as well as uh words that reflect our innate human wisdom to us but we've been mostly oblivious to that it's almost like we've been deaf

to the language that our language has been speaking to us exactly well and look at our word definition we are deafened by our definitions or we talk about what a word means but what does the word mean mean and mean has all sorts of nasty connections about behavior on kindness shabbiness and being average and that is the average on this planet is uh and my work is about inspiring the best instead of the beast in other people and a lot of people shoot off their mouths and trash talk other people and then you've got ugliness

in your mouth a bitter flavor and it all bounces back because everything reverberates and so an anthem i wrote for our era several years ago is called speaking beauty and i'd like to share that at some point but i just want to give the whole point of what my work is a lot of people once they see the secret spells of the english language have you seen it okay good so i share what i call our premiere life sentence and which is sounds like a death sentence and there's actually what's inflicted on children is even

worse but it's not as easily summed up into a single sentence however i asked the woman who posted it on that website to post the answer to the problem that the secret spells reveals and that answer is called taking command of the english language and it's really quite a nice poem i have to say and it references random acts of kindness and acts of senseless beauty which was a thought a woman had in a uh at a cafe i think in sausalito wrote it on a napkin it traveled the world and it has it still

affects people's behavior and so she never posted it um that second poem so people are more looking at who did this to us rather than what can we do about it so i will start with a little bit of my vision statement and then just go into a little wrappy riff so in all our efforts to heal our psyche and raise consciousness on the planet we have all but overlooked the very instrument of conscious thought and communication yet our forked tongue english language which is the leading software of the western mind is itself in great

need of retuning and upgrading over the course of my life i cultivated a heightened sensitivity to how the total normality of insanity in society is echoed reflected and reinforced by the english language which inadvertently yet unavoidably propagates an antiquated and manipulated vision of reality promulgated by the ancient church as an instrument of mind control at a time when people had to surrender their mind if they wanted to keep their heads about them quite literally so if we elect collectively to upgrade the english language to a higher frequency through our linguistic creativity and naturally occurring verbal

eccentricities then ultimately even clatter from our idol chatter prattle powder blabber blather and plaver as we jabber gab in babylon will turn our glowing terms from verbal vapor either hanging in the air or trapped on paper into tiny bits of shiny matter as we gather chat and matter on and with new skill at trilling thrilling statements that instill fulfilling imagery of higher possibilities we'll finally still the quiet riot of the wild child's manic panic through the mind so we can flip the switch enlightening every circuit of our consciousness with the electric surge of verbiage that

encourages superb and selfless services to spread from soul to soul around the globe by what is said in all the light years up ahead and then from the islands of silence between all that spoken we will listen as doors to the heartland spring open that is beautiful that is beautiful thank you so what's interesting is you're obviously a native speaking english speaker and you reference the english language it seems that this is probably a phenomenon this phenomenon that you're getting to that is in every different language in many different ways yes but as i was

preparing for this podcast and a thought you know we ascribe a lot of cultural differences to a culture potent potentially different genetic dispositions climates a lot of things the one thing that i don't think we've looked at is how the language itself is shaping the individuals who grew up speaking that language yes and i was you know it was it's curious for me to kind of explore that pathway for you as well and of course we'll be focusing on english because that's the language that we're speaking in here now and that's language of the listeners

otherwise they probably wouldn't be listening but fundamentally i'm just curious if you've kind of taken a circumspect view of the rest of the languages in the world talked to other linguistic you know kind of people of your similar mind and explored this a little bit in the 80s i read a book called on puns [Music] i'll have to i think i know the editor a collection of essays by linguists and mostly they were talking about other languages and puns in other languages and it's just so interesting what words come together to resonate at the same

frequency yet be very heterogeneous in their meaning and i recognized early that my words may be more uh connected through sound than through meaning so yes it happens in every language it's just that english has so many languages in it yeah and so some i think did uh i think the language was salted with um contradiction um so conscious manipulation yeah because that goes on what you mentioned yeah yeah that happens right today and so interesting i recently came across a quote that uh i don't have the complete quote but it's by thu siddies the

uh greek general and historian writing about the war between athens and sparta and he said the greatest horror of all was the corruption of the language and confucius said the first thing he would do if given charge of the administration of a country would be to check correct the language i think it's one of the big tasks of a philosopher or a poet is to actually start to clean the language in a way that you can use it without infecting the person that you're delivering and incepting the idea of the word into from all of

the baggage that it's been associated with like the word god is a dirty word in the language for so many people and that's a shame it's a good word that's a good word so cleaning that up the word love has become reduced i think don miguel ruiz calls love the fallen angel because it doesn't really mean the same thing people think love hurts you know like you they have all of these associations well it's never actually the love that hurts it's the way that your mind has responded to the egos desires and your attachments that

actually hurts and so cleaning language has been one of my own pathways of thought but the idea of actually sometimes we may be trying to clean something that's baked into the nature of the word itself and so maybe we need a new word oh i i completely agree i think in some cases it's about tuning up an existing word and in other cases it's about bringing through new words yeah like i upgraded intelligent to intelligent because there's really nothing smart about a brain without a heart although it seems to be the ultimate seduction because it

grants us unchecked power but just to bring our darkest hour for it endows us with a genius for destruction so yes tuning up and reinvention and two things in regards to that one is kind of peripheral people have have looked at the secret spells of the language i also share sacred path words which are words that reflect our innate genius to us and uh remind us of what we already know and the simplest example is the fact that earth and heart are the same word and it's just where you put the h so ask any

semi-literate child what do you suppose is the implication of this connection and wonderful answers come out and ask yourself ask others it's like there's so much to contemplate in this convergence and okay i'll put that away for a moment but so yes i think it's time to become more aware to find more of these sacred pathwards one of my favorite i've used and people are i have it in poetry and such i was walking in a park overlooking the ocean this was years ago and i said to my invisible friends give me a new word

and they gave me the true meaning of beautiful and all of these are just self-evident to be truly beautiful is to be you to full be your whole some self there is nothing as exquisitely beautiful than a whole being who is true to who they are and it's so funny the word noble i mean it's self-defining it's like no bull you've it's integrity it's like you were talking in your trip report with blue about the true king and the imposter i mean it was wonderful and we all know that and um i have a poem

on the letter i because just as we have two eyes on our face there are two eyes in the alphabet and they talk about our higher and lower self and the yo-yo effect so yes it's in every language all languages pun one i have a quote somewhere that the difference between languages is a singular way of making puns and and i'm always interested in what is the electropoetic force that causes words to migrate across continents cultures and centuries to come into the same vibration so this is this is kind of getting into another question that

i had which is you could look at these and say ah coincidence it's beautiful that you came up with that like ba you know yeah that's great but it's a coincidence noble noble coincidence but what you're kind of hinting at is that it's uh almost as if the words came into form in a particular way and a subconscious manifestation where that word actually came into existence because it was in resonance with certain other sounds and different other ways that words were put together and those are the words that stuck in other words kind of fell

away so it's almost like a evolutionary selection of our language that creates these interesting synchronicities who knows but let's look at the word coincidence it's a word that labels and then dismisses as insignificant and what it's saying is a coincidence but it's not looking at well what are these two disparate elements doing sitting next to each other at a coffee shop and i don't know if you heard from christian but when i flew um i guess it was yesterday a packed airplane i sit between two fellows uh engage in conversation with one of them he

was going to kansas to meet with his cousin to go to a dodger game and he asked what i was doing so i told him about our upcoming conversation and he said oh my cousin was aubrey's marketing manager until they sold the company last year wow mike it sounded like spadier or something yeah yeah mike and so then i arrived shout out to mike i arrive and i go on a little walk and i have my parasol and and um this beautiful young woman stopped me at an ice cream shop and to comment on on

my parasol well and my way of being yeah whole vibe the whole thing and so how dare i be reductionist and assume that she was complimenting only your parasol it's never only the periscope no it's the gestalt the whole energetic being so we exchanged names and she asked what i was doing here and i told her and she said oh i was aubrey's personal assistant for four or five years a beautiful young woman named jenna she said i can't speak highly enough of him and she took a picture of us and and sent it to

you so you might find it all right so so those are co-inside dances and we don't know what is the force we're working in because we're so ignorant i mean we are a fish in water but i think in our case you know rather blind to the substance in which we dwell i think we're living in an echo chamber and a hall of mirrors and that language is constantly echoing and reflecting either cultural consciousness or innate human wisdom and because we have been deafened to our definitions we are are clueless and yet the language is

constantly echoing and reflecting talking back to us in some cases um contradicting and undermining in other cases offering a little jeweled gift if we would but notice it's i'm you know as i step into this world with you and you give such a beautiful invitation who wouldn't want to step into this world where we're actually exploring the territory that we believed we knew but seeing it from a different perspective where all kinds of things illuminate you know it's like if you actually slow down and look around and look backwards and forwards and look within the

words you can discover little clues and hidden gems and i imagine this is what your life is like you'll find a new word one day just thinking about something and just go dancing around absolutely and i and i've just thought of this and this is not something that's original to me but i was thinking and i've heard it before but i dismissed it because the category of this type of correlation and cohen's coincidence was not really alive in me but live spelled backwards is evil yeah and just thinking about that obviously evil is the anti-life

energy you know and it's you could say total coincidence but and then you even hear the sound of how that it sounds exactly opposite you know yes yes you know live live evil right it's like there's this whole different sonic play of things that are happening in this incident interesting way in which you know forwards is one way backwards is another way my meetings with the cousin of your business manager and your personal assistant yesterday synchronistic were they meaningless there's a line from in in sherlock holmes arthur conan doyle the author saying the world is

filled with obvious things that nobody happens to notice and do you know what was kind of frightening first of all the word oblivious to the obvious the only thing that separates them is a lie lie and when a beloved friend of mine shane deiter who is just a master website designer and brilliant man in many areas so he came his family came and visited a couple of years ago and i was in the car alone with his then four-year-old son on a little video game and he was interacting with it and the voice was interacting

with him and you know what the voice was saying over and over into a four-year-old brain nothing going on over here let's look elsewhere nothing going on over here let's look elsewhere ignore the obvious discount what your eyes tell you because science hasn't validated it as real even though science is the slow younger brother of mysticism struggling up a mountain to prove what nature-based people know innately because they feel it and because the environment feeds them with knowledge and information so they can interact with harmony we didn't need a mediator for that so so that's

with coincidence and then live and evil turn love around see what you get it's like evolve yeah and it doesn't quit and if you add an e uh and then another e you keep getting evolve i have i didn't bring it with me but i have a little graphic of evolve like a chain of dna and on the other direction it's love with a valentine in which is that extra in between i mean yes you can't love backward you can get confused you can you may be so loved starved you wouldn't even know it if

you felt it and that can lead people to be insane because there's nothing more precious than love i have some wonderful quotes by and also nothing more abundant and therein lies the paradox of that of that ex you know experience say more if you will well love is the most precious yes and usually that which is precious like a diamond yes is very rare and you could say that the experience of love is rare but it's also the most abundant it's the substrate of the universe itself it is we are participating in a universal love

story of the cosmos in its unfolding like this is another way to describe in my in my mind the divine you can call it the all the source god love light even truth there's other different ways to describe it but love is the is the fundamental substrate of existence so it's in radical abundance and we can access it if we but have the keys and the right and the heart for it we can access it at any point and it is still the most precious which is something that we don't understand we don't understand how

abundance and preciousness can go hand in hand that's because it would seem to me that rarity and preciousness are equated in the marketplace and the the great hoodwink about precious diamonds is that they're pebbles and they're extremely abundant and then and that was a de beers advertising campaign that hypnotized people into thinking oh my god something's so rare well if they said look at these pebbles they're extremely abundant it probably wouldn't have been as effective as a marketing campaign truly but then to think that love is is so abundant and yet it's precious how does

that equate in a marketing arena it doesn't yeah but in reality it does and that's a rewiring of our of our understanding of the world that's very important and it just shows the frame of reference that we're in which is in the commodification itself i think capitalism gone a little too hard in the paint a little too extreme you know to so that it's permeated even the way we think about love oh that's horrible right it's like it's uh and of course i think it's still the best economic model that exists but nonetheless everything needs

to have its own balance do you know i'm um pardon me for starting with you know predatory capitalism i should have memorized the definition that i found on google but it's popular acceptance of aggression and uh greed as normal behaviors in the marketplace and the wolf of wall street yeah i mean look at bernie madoff too much of nothing and one of my favorite little parables is of a wealthy man who cannot bear to leave it behind so he begs and beseeches god to let him take it with him and god finally relents and says

okay but only one suitcase filled with your treasure so he fills it with gold brick has it under his bed till the appointed hour at which moment he appears at the pearly gates suitcase in hand and saint peter says to him i'm sorry but you can't bring anything in here and he says yes i can god has given me permission and he said this is most unusual would you mind if i see what you couldn't leave behind so the man proudly threw open the suitcase revealing all this glimmering gold brick and saint peter looked at

it and looked at the man and said why in heaven's name would you want to bring pavement [Laughter] yeah so i see these wars these are people fighting over pavement and paving over beauty and there's a wonderful quote from the socio-biologist e.o wilson he was at harvard and um it says the foreign policy of ants could be described this way restless aggression territorial conquest of neighboring colonies genocidal annihilation of these colonies where possible if ants had the bomb they'd destroy the world in a week so i saw we are not in a dog eat work

dog world we're in an ant eat ant world we are living at the level of insects that have identical identities and are operated by a queen this i think is some people's vision for our future wouldn't it be nice if we could herd them all into a collective and wire them up so they're responsive to a directive that comes from on high so that's one vision but what is meant to happen at that time and we all feel the energy it's energy of ascension this is metamorphosis energy this is a time like none other that

is so catalytic to our transformation and just like a kernel of corn has to be heated to a certain temperature to burst open into an irreversible metamorphosis a flower an edible flower that delights it takes a lot of heat and it takes a lot of pressure same with diamonds uh just to parenthetically move over there for a moment in terms of of rare diamonds or whatever that's what we are meant to be is rare diamonds that's what's rare we are made of love everything is but the uniqueness of who we are is one of a

kind in all eternity yes indeed my uh my teacher rabbi gaffney he likes to express it as following that there's more god to come because as the divine manifests in each unique self and that unique self is evolving into ever even greater uniqueness yes participating in the divine field there is more god to come yes and it's this beautiful way of thinking like we're participating in the evolution of something that is ourself and also much bigger than ourself and i think one of the things that we're experiencing now in this collective time of heat and

pressure is the desire for heat and pressure because human beings don't do particularly well when things are too easy too comfortable too lavish and then we don't have that forging pressure almost the creative constraint of our own soul to bring out our best yes and i think we're calling that in collectively you know i really feel that happening where in even the people who are preparing for the worst some part of them wants the worst because they know that something will emerge out of them some hero some some grandiosity will emerge when they've come face

to face with you know the the challenge yeah we know i mean people say you know i need a good kick in the pants but what we're talking about is a catalyst and i was fascinated to read years ago that some seeds are timed to open only after a second thaw and frost because there's going to be two cycles and if it gets it in between it's gone and some seeds are so smart genius all of it and um some seeds take a fire to ignite their growth so that's what's happening it may feel like

hell the resistance certainly makes it hellish but not the actual experience so the acorn a case in point if that hard shell doesn't get cracked by something that oak tree that lives for so long that offers shade and shelter and food and all sorts of things it can't happen birth is kind of a painful bloody process for many many the thing is we're all guaranteed to live forever you can't get out of here even if you want to yeah so but there are higher and higher realms i understand we don't have to live in the

same psychodrama this podcast like every other one whether i mention it or not is brought to you by on it alpha brain black label now it's brought to you by on alpha brain black label one because this was the company that i helped create and a formula which i worked with some of the top experts in the world to build which has become the flagship nootropic all across the country and many parts of the world but it's also brought to you by it because i take it every single time i do a podcast i don't

miss a podcast without taking black label now it used to be alpha brain back in the day but since black label came on the market it just provides this crystalline focus where i'm able to drop in really connect with the guests have access to information stories words it creates this kind of flow state and whether i'm writing or podcasting or reading taking notes whatever i'm doing alpha brain black label is my ride or die homie so click the link on the screen if you're interested in checking it out or go to onit.com aubry for 10

percent off alpha brain black label and all other on it supplements and products one of the things that was really mind bending for me was when my friend and and multiple time podcast guest matthias destefano who remembers his past lives and i say that very casually and uh obviously i can't approach that with great skepticism but he's won me over with his this kind of anthro ontological meaning i can feel it in my body truth gorgeous what he's expressing yeah you remember yeah i remember i remember what he's remembering and i can feel it as

true and he was saying he laughed about a similar thing he says you die and then you go to the liminal space where you're not yet reincarnated but that's in a place that's beyond time itself so it's simultaneously immediate reincarnation and an eternity of space and time and i was thinking how do we even think of something like that he's but it was ultimately he was laughing at this idea of people scrambling to live forever when we live forever in so many different complex ways in this mandala of time and space and the unborn and

undying essence of who we really are well that's a problem with speaking a dead language that has loses precious words from its uh dictionaries um like one of my favorite um i've never met anyone who knew it and oh boy this feels like my chance he won't okay so you do you likely know omniscient all-knowing omnipotent all-powerful omnipresent um present everywhere we know that is uh infinite intelligence we're tuned in we can you know but we're not that vast but the word that applies to us i've never met anyone who knew it and it is

omnificent possessing full creative power and someone said to me oh i'm not creative and i said well we've already demonstrated as a species that we have full destructive power so the opposite has to be true and we have the power of the word which has been a very overlooked power but ken burns the documentarian said it's the most powerful force i believe on earth the english language and the english language is the language of the birds this mythic language that um i can get back to in a moment but the possibility of speaking and having

the lag time between pronunciation and experience kind of evaporate or fall into divine timing rather than you keep tripping over your tongue contradicting yourself or you know letting yourself have a verbal outburst at somebody in order to relieve the pressure of the upset only you're stuck with that nasty taste in your mouth and it can deaden your sensitivity i you know one of don one of don miguel ruiz's four agreements is um about honoring your word be impeccable with your word like be impactful with your word and what i've noticed is as i've paid more

attention over the years to the meaning and the deep meaning of that of that lesson is that when you actually start gossiping about someone it may feel good in the moment or something because it creates again what rabbi gaffney talks about is this pseudo-interiority a sense of me and you are on the inside but that guy christian over there you know christian you know and then it brings us closer but not really closer it just creates a false boundary where we feel like we might be closer but not except we also feel nervous because the

other person is a betrayer of course of course and but what you can really tell is that you can tell the aftertaste the aftertaste is ashen and bitter no matter how no matter how it might feel in the moment maybe you get a little rush of closeness with the person that you're talking gossip with yeah but then when you finish everything is just a little more and action in your mouth and it's you know and i say that obviously not literally but energetically yeah and and one might even be able to taste it um just

the bitterness of it the dryness of it the hopefully some i don't want to use the word guilt except i think it also means if a female pig i'm not positive but also you know a little gold so guilt odd word but in any case um yes it doesn't taste good and it doesn't feel good and so gosh so much to share a little bit ago when you were talking about love is the most abundant force in the universe i have these quotes by um pierre tayar desjardins a jesuit priest and philosopher and anthropologist and

i read it when i was 20 in a book called his book the phenomenon of man and i think it was if there wasn't the propensity toward union at the most rudimentary level at this molecule itself then what we call love couldn't appear in harmonized form it's the glue that holds everything together and i have another quote of his and if you like them i'll send you my very short collection but they're so stimulating and so he says there'll come a time when humanity will discover the power of love and for a second time only

we will have discovered fire something like that we have the creative force in our hearts on the tip of our tongues on our fingertips i mean these things are so alive in us um and so a little piece of verse went floating through they're so alive in us and they are vital creative forces and as we do as you do and become clearer and clearer of the programming the stuff that gunked up the system so that we we have no impediments to the full expression of divine aliveness that we use the word to communicate with

others i i have i like the word communification but i also a word i heard was glucose it's the sweetness that binds us all together there's nothing that feels better the uh for the freudian analyst himself sigmund freud he and figured everything came down to the pleasure principle and he kept it down at the the genitals the anus and then the mouth and that's the best humans can do in their pursuit of pleasure find some way to stimulate one of these three holes exactly i mean you got to throw the ear holes in there and

then those little good good smells good music you know who doesn't like fresh baked cookies you know smells good that is so true but yeah it's the pleasure of the holes or the pleasure of the heart and pleasure of the spirit well and the pleasure of wholeness that's what we're really seeking and the more art we refine our senses our sensitivity our spiritual awake and awareness the more exquisitely refined the pleasures can be so it isn't a quick bump and grind and you get off and you're wasted you know it's it's an intoxicating state of

um ecstasy i would guess without chemistry but that which you know people generate on their own the human instrument is a divine instrument ask the english language it says infinite the infinite and where is the infinite in finite oh you mean all that's in here the oceans in this one little drop as roomy said this i just finished a podcast today actually um with robert edward grant about her medic principles hermetic wisdom and it occurs to me that the first principle of uh the hermetica as described in the kabbalian is the principle of mentality which

is all is mind the universe is mental and then if you combine that and and as the legend goes hermes was a contemporary of abraham but if you combine that with the start of genesis which was in the beginning there was the word right so if the universe is the mind and in the beginning there was the word i think it's pointing to a very interesting interesting thing in that words are actually the way that we think to think without words is incredibly difficult it's incredibly difficult it's like it's like trying to do math without

numbers gorgeous analogy you know it's it's very very hard because that once we get in language then we think through symbols and we think that's how we structure everything in our brain and so it starts to make sense why they would say something like and of course i know they mean the logos and the word can mean many things but they say the word and beginning there was the word yes and i think it's because how we structure our mind and our mind is participating in the greater capital m mind of the all wow yes

the we have the word thought we people don't notice there's also the word mentation which i think is just all that worthless jibber-jabber mentioned yeah sentimental sentimental worthless it's the same as a penny for your thoughts my thoughts are worth a whole lot more than that yeah so yeah there's i mean the language is playing us it's like we're in a big organ and we're the monkeys we're dancing to this music till we go wait a minute i don't think i like this number i'm going to find what my own rhythm is so yeah a

big mind and you were talking about your teacher and yeah i think the um the there's many different directions to go but i think understanding how significant the way that we perceive the world actually creates the world yeah and in this in this way that if this is a universal love story we're for our own self participating in our own multiverse inside the universe the one verse of the universe and we're writing we're writing our own story that goes alongside this collective story but we're writing the story often through our words and of course our

actions our feelings are everything but the way that we describe it and the way that our mind even remembers it is off in the way when we tell it to somebody we reduce it to words yeah and so everything is just categorized it's like the the dewey decimal system of our own consciousness is like how we remember thing by the words we say about them yes yeah we're trapped like flies on fly paper but um peter russell a physicist futurist early on with mara harishi and i i did some pr work for him but one

of his lines in the global brain or the global brain awakens is at last evolution is in the hands of the evolutionary material so it means we can think it's all closing in on us and for some who decided they didn't want to you know they're happy to go elsewhere it's getting pretty rough and horrible here um that's you know we love appreciate the service we grieve with those who lost them but we trust that this is all intentional in the sense that or can be used for the whoever holds the highest intention holds the

highest frequency among those who are looking for there's this evolutionary impulse now to come together as a super organism and where every person is themselves to the fullest sounding their singular note in the universe and contributing something that no one else can that creates a universal harmony that lifts life for everybody that's one vision i call that the real commonwealth the other vision is called herd mentality let's see if we can heard these people like ants and there's even myrmadons is a word they're like soldiers like ants just doing following orders isn't that what some

people who are sick on the illusion that wealth sex and power is going to bring them anything that satisfies their soul those who have gotten carried away in a total nightmare false dream so be it for them but they would like to have an ant colony this is not predatory capitalism we're living in its uh parasitic capitalism i mean they're sucking the last you know flow through people i mean it's how do you be that hungry that starving and that blind that you have to suck energy from other people in an infinitely abundant universe that

is happy to be in communication with you in every moment yeah well because they're no matter how much they suck they're starving it's the hungry ghost no matter how much they they keep trying to solve the same problem with the same thing that created the problem in the first place and it's it's a sicipian chase it'll never happen you know there and that's the i think that's the challenge they need to start they need to shift their mentality and so to me when i look out at the world there's lots of you know existential threats

and there's lots of challenges and there's lots of things that could use attention and love and nurturing and support but to me consciousness has to shift first yes it has to shift first because everything all fall down yeah and that's the and so that's why i've dedicated you know the main thrust of my efforts like how do we help change people's minds and and hearts and have them singing a different song yes that includes but also transcends the song that they've been singing yes so um lynn mctaggart um said we need a new lens most

important we need a new lens through which to view the world well we see the world through the word a new lens means going back to what we were sharing earlier the need to tune up the language tune up the false notes so that they're very resonant so that they play this human instrument in a way that is scintillating that is going to have me singing my high notes and so tuning up the language and reinventing um oh i'd like to share if i may of course um my my invention for the pleasure principle as

we get more refined our pleasures are more refined and more intense and more forever they're not that quick jolt and then it's all over for a while no so i do agree that the universe was created on in the pleasure principle i mean sir fred hoyle even called it the big bang you know is that not a guy thing and years ago i wrote a piece i i won't i'll do a little bit it's called a modest goddess odyssey oh i guess it doesn't have no never mind it doesn't have the peace that i was

looking for in it that came later and what it is is as i'm on this modest goddess odyssey in this poem the infinite divine mother says to me by the way it wasn't a big bang it was a giant jolt of joy and that jolt is still happening you can be permeated by it at any time and as you were saying we can't just erect better structures of government and economics and stuff it's all gonna go to the same way because of the interior landscaping re-landscaping all of us need to do to by whatever means

works most effectively for you to rewire so that this instrument is tuned up to allow your infinite divine intelligence in and to operate without obstructions yeah it occurs to me that when you say erect new structures this is a very masculine way of thinking about things right like let's erect a new building let's see erect a new set of principles and you know that more feminine approach would be like well let's nourish the seeds that are there let's listen and nourish and feed and nurture and and allow what wants to be built and then with

that merging with the masculine okay we got this all squared away yeah like allow me to help make it erect you know like allow me to like make it strong and full with with with all of my life force as well but this is the time of great balancing and and i think we need both energies to come into right alignment and really historically where the alignment has been off is the suppression of that feminine energy and the dominance of the mask than too much erection and not enough cultivation yeah yeah exactly when i was

just finishing my poem on the letter s which is called esoterica by laurel erica and the definitive exegesis on the letter s in verse and and the joke is that an exegesis is an in-depth analysis of a biblical passage for the most part and i did it on a single letter of the alphabet and of course it's the definitive one in verse because who else would do such a thing when i just finished it i got to meet an amazing man dr leonard shlain i believe he was chief of laparoscopic surgery in san francisco state

by the time we met he'd already published written and published his bestseller art and physics when i knew him he was working on his second of four and it was called the alphabet versus the goddess and it's all about words and images and what happens and what he shows from culture to culture to culture is that as soon as a culture became literate it's like the emphasis went into the left brain and at the same time there was a demotion of women and um images in terms of how they were valued so it was like

a split i mean it's just so completely insane um [Music] anyway i won't go into i don't wish to offend anybody but just i don't know if our audience is easily offended so feel free to thank you feel free to let it rip my life changed significantly when i was 23 and driving i had graduated berkeley maybe i was younger than that i'd graduated berkeley was driving back up from l.a and it was like we were coming in at the last act of everything um everything was a repetition of tradition to the point of mindless

idiocy and that's a summary statement it would make more sense if i gave an example and so my aunt uh as a you know a little party for her unwed nieces invited some you know brought couples together with the hope of something happening and so it was hors d'oeuvres and then dinner and then dessert no real connection ignited anywhere but people just sat and she kept feeding them you know it was 11 or 12. so it was all that hospitality and kindness to the level of senselessness so what happened around that time is it felt

like the last act of everything um like like the stage sets were getting struck now it was um it was dirtier and and a lesser element as if untutored minds had been turning onto acid so it was just kind of wreckage in terms of consciousness and so i met a fellow we had a nice connection but it was over fast because there was this bright light and then the dark was dark i mean i'm talking about an oh anyway very very brief and i said to my roommate i get it women are the power in

the universe everything created comes through a woman if a woman were together enough she could connect with the cosmos directly so this domination of the male is trying to propagate a sense of importance and domination and it's meaningless in terms of how reality actually functions and so well at the very least it's been reductionist right because it's been strength of arm and and might of might of violence which has unfortunately dominated the powers that be in our culture right and of course those are masculine characteristics right not that they can't be embodied by a woman

we carry both within us of course but nonetheless like i think we've we've reduced the the values to strength of of physicality and brutality in a certain sense um through different institutions of course and different nation states and powers and governments and churches and and all of these different forces and it's uh it's got us to the position that we're in i sometimes play the fantasy in my head of you know what if what if something could have been different but it's ultimately a fruitless path because it's here we are and then the most sacred

thing is what is and now is our opportunity for some reason um a week or more ago oh i want to get back to all of what you said so a little digression a week or so ago i had a little bit of grass and then a poem started coming through and i it's not complete but it was like as if i were writing for despondent inner city kids and i thought what am i doing here and then i was contacted within a few days by a non-profit in rural tennessee looking for some writing pr

etc so i thought oh that's why that came to me but a line in one of my poems is from towering trees to toothpicks whittled our children's souls are thus belittled so we are like the charles bukowski the 20th century depressive poet said something like most everyone is born a genius and buried an idiot well there are people who know how to help children cultivate the genius i have a very dear friend you might want to talk with her amazing woman who does that all the children become renaissance geniuses and um this seems like one

of those areas where there was a conscious effort to actually make people good little factory workers yes rather than you know geniuses who were able to no we wouldn't want to follow orders and wouldn't want to screw in one bolt over and over and over again for endless amounts of time right and then numb the pain and discomfort of that existence with more and more ameliorants and intoxicants and deliriance that could keep them from the pain of this existence and it seems to have woven itself in and kind of infected the education system to a

great degree oh yeah everything has deteriorated enormously and it seems it's a fast slide going on and and also the loss of masks and pretensions it's like whatever animal certain you know people in power are portraying it's like the human mask is coming off are we in a group of werewolves and vampires are these the ones leading the countries the craziest people get to be in power with the bomb and and the ability to decide life and death for billions of people well when you have a game like politics that selects for the most self-compromising

and cutthroat amongst us in the most machiavellian way then you're selecting for that and that's the system that we've created is selecting for that so that's a challenge that's that's the challenge right exactly so i i don't know what's really so but i do believe i heard greg braden say it only takes one quarter of one percent and of people who are on a higher frequency to shift it for everybody um so and and thinking earlier about um and and this is getting to a point and i've heard different numbers and greg saying a quarter

of one percent i've heard one percent i've heard ten percent yeah people have different numbers but what we're talking about is a tipping point effect yes and it's actually closer than we think and then the tipping point momentum will actually take hold yes and then from there it'll be like the flywheel that's the hardest thing to get it started but once it started it's going to keep rolling yeah yeah yeah and it's mental it's metal and and so it's magnetic and but also it's like it's like those cake rolls with ice cream or or jelly

in between jelly rolls i guess they're called it's like what's in between all that mental powers the power of love which we know is the ultimate power the glucose of everything so this juggernaut this that is coming through our participation each of us doing the best we can every day to up our game to be a little bit more conscious kind aware disciplined whatever it is you feel needs some tuning up because you're the human instrument and how exquisite do you want to be in your the music you emit the sound you emit the resonance

it has the impact it has so yeah this i believe is the moment here it is i wouldn't want to be alive at any other time yeah and sometimes you can get lost in the in the oh like i can't believe this is happening and why is this why is this going on and there's and what might happen and you know the movies we like to watch the stories we like to tell the hero or the heroine of that story always goes through intense challenges yes and the challenges are the crucible in the chrysalis for

their transformation yes so we want this we want this yes we just don't want it to hurt yes but that's not the way it goes that's not the way it's that's not the way the system is built yeah you know and that's why things hurt so that we can we can push through and learn you know with from the contrast from wanting yes yes yes from learning acceptance and acquiescence i like the idea of the word aqua essence which is like water you're just taking on the shape of whatever is containing it and sometimes water

is fighting against it as we do so i guess it's it's navigating those currents so um so back to that word i was going to tell you about this fun little word i put together to describe the most exquisite pleasure that comes from this kind of intercourse where it's heart to heart it's mind to mind it's open-heartedness it's saying read me i'm here and i'm available how can we make music together that uplifts us all and spills over onto the audience so everyone is lifted by this intercourse we're having and it feels so good and

acts of loving kindness stimulate the same part of the brain as cocaine i've heard so for heaven's sakes dopamine so i believe our essential evolutionary leap now is meant to be not into an ant heap as some would try to engineer but our evolutionary leap is from humankind to human kindness and this this is the moment if we want a planet to live on and we want it to re-green itself then it would be very worthwhile to speak beauty to do acts of kindness to tune yourself up every time you feel a meanness in your

heart like i have recently and i thought boy that is not attractive and also i thought um i saw myself so hard for me to imagine meanness in your heart laurel oh thank you [Laughter] but we all have it and it's important to recognize that if we don't see the meanness that exists within us then we're not looking close enough we need to take another big long look in the mirror yeah and because we'll see all of it i like reverend michael beckwith's phrase about the sea of human garbage we're an inlet and an outlet

for that when we stay at a lower frequency when we allow the tv to program us and when we stay deafened to all the examples that the english language also programs us and like peter russell said at last evolution is in the hands of the evolutionary material we can program what we want and i change want to wand because it's not just lack and gimme it's i have the power to put out the kind of energy that attracts what i value into my life yeah and and it's uh it's not it's not i think i

think a lot of people in this kind of law of attraction mindset they think of the literalization of what they're looking for again it's kind of reminds me of what you said why are you bringing all the pavement to heaven you know but it's as soon as we start seeing what we're actually looking for by by coming from that frame of mind then everything becomes that it's like yes to step into the to step into the kingdom to use the you know biblical terminology the kingdom of heaven it's it's a matter of perception it's not

a matter of geolocation it's just like how can we see the world in a different way stepping into the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible is just a matter of changing our story about the world and the changing the story our story about the world when enough people do that the actual story of the world changes yes um i do believe that this was probably why this the awareness of the metal of our minds magnetizing and uh connecting um as an energy projecting on a story can bring that story into the collective life

stream so now's the time for a new story to be because it's all metaphor which goes back to something i was going to say about what is incredibly ignorant is to think that god is male and there's a holy trinity and not a metaphor because everything is metaphor and it's you can't have nothing manifests as much as science is going to has taken i mean it's just the most ridiculous thing birthing parent not mother not woman pregnant person what this is so dumb yes and and it is so um i mean it is diabolical and

orwell said politics corrupts language and language once corrupted has corrupting real world influence but that we can start making changes at the verbal end that is what i'm here to introduce people to a concept of empowerment that if the word made the world and our world is in anguish must be time to get free from the spells of our language yeah it's uh you know nobody's ever asked what the sex except for potentially some kind of insectologist of whatever that and enterol entomologist that's the word no one's ever asked the sex of an ant of

course you know the queen but the rest of the ants they're just ants and i think this framework that you're talking about right when people are saying birthing person and we're neutralizing the gender of an individual as it's expressing and manifesting and of course i understand the fluidity of this concept and how we carry it all inside but it's it's really going in line with this model of creating reducing humans to ants yes by saying nope you're just an ant you know and it's like people are cheering like yes we're just an ant you know

and it's like what why why how did we get in this path and why are we cheering this you know what what makes us want to celebrate this thing okay so you have evoked so many poems okay but let me just go to ant mentality i completely agree with you i think that there is a push for androgyny and for identical identities and the flip from homosexuals being outcasts to now anything goes and everything goes was pretty effing quick and i don't think that happens unless there's a unified agenda and i think the agenda has

to do with androgyny and look at the word identity it sounds precious it sounds rare but it isn't identical identities that's what they're seeking um and but to have be a real identity it's about having a very open eye and what's at this the eyes are windows to the soul and at the center of our eye is our pupil which means we are meant to be lifelong students of our own soul to get to know ourselves more deeply all the time so what i thought was stupid was thinking that all all of this could come

through a man you know it takes participation we all are needed we all play a role it's not we're superior no we're superior that's the same insanity how does it even make sense to think god is a both everything and a man like do you not notice the contradiction in that god is everything omni but a man though yes what how are you everything and not a man and a woman and every other thing in between it's it's it's wild that we've allowed these things that don't even make sense yes to actually infiltrate our brain

and then we just repeat them and pattern and program after time and time again in a new iteration it's like what how did we get here and then flipping it the other way also doesn't make any sense although it's a corrective measure and some say so god is a woman it's she not no it's not it's not that either i understand and appreciate the sentiment behind that which is to reprogram that thing which has been incorrect but nonetheless you can't assign you can't assign a gender to the all or else it's not the all right

it doesn't work so absolutely true how do we be so dumb i mean then look at abraham god says show me how you love me by murdering your son that sounds like a demon it does to me too yeah anna reitert's book did you hear paul check's interview with anna reitert what is it the god tricks of the matrix she has three master's degrees and a phd in i don't know if it's medical anthropology or cultural anthropology she has lived for many years with indigenous people and was able to let go of that academic urban

identity and get in touch with a deeper esoteric reality so this woman has um in this amazing power packed book and in paul checks for interviews with anna reitert that'll give you an eyeful and an earful about what we're living inside of yeah i mean this is uh and again the more we can become aware and and let the let the understanding start to inform us i mean i think it's it's so important it's such a necessary first step is to just just see like you can't you can't act before you see or else you're

going to be acting you know indecently and imperfectly and precisely i'm sorry waving my trying to get my word in i'm sorry waving my arms around get your word in so what you were talking about is you have no choice or voice unless you have a vision unless your eyes are open and the words themselves say that it's like ch oh i see e and e is an energy in motion um subscribers to my website wordmagicglobal.com can download my free ebook called the book of e a book of alphabet alchemy so choice oh i see

you can't make one unless you do voice oh i see you have nothing to say unless you have your eyes open and are seeing through your own lens and endeavoring to clear it more and more and more indeed indeed what are some of the other what are some of the other words and and potentially poems and areas that you like to explore i'm really enjoying this dance but i just want to invite forward any particular dance steps that you have that called to your heart i so appreciate that i've always wanted to have a conversation

in an altered state with a brilliant being and to be just free-flowing thank you you have gifted me so enormously you're so sweet thank you so when i'm on this side of the looking glass i feel myself to be an english language lm mentor and so i want to introduce you and your audience to some of my experiences right i have said for years that i feel like a human being from the plant family i feel like where i come from we don't evolve out of animals so that may be my fantasy but seeing growing

plants helps center me i think that's true for everybody and i felt like an exile from the nature kingdom here to help humans harmonize their speech with natural frequencies so that the whole planet can heal and thrive so i've joked about having adult onset fairy identity because i don't remember identifying so much with fairies um but then someone else i would like to introduce you to is jeffrey armstrong who is also kavindra rishi and he is a vedic scholar and sanskritist and has a new translation of the bhagavad-gita and an amazing poet anyway in jeffrey

jeffrey's publisher introduced us and we became friends that we haven't actually physically met and in jeffrey's book um spiritual teachings of the avatar ancient wisdom from modern era on page 18 it says in effect that it is well known in the vedas that people from the devic realm can incarnate humanly especially at a time when humanity needs to be harmonized to nature so that's what i am the devic realm i've never heard that terminology before well where the elementals are who work in the gardens who do all the little tasks i mean we're not alone

the alice in wonderland vision of a realm where everything is conscious that's reality the dead zone where we've been speaking a dead language that hypnotizes us into having being zombie-like i mean how did zombies and all these odd beings get to be so popular in the culture i mean this is such a death focused culture and we do not have to participate well it's also death obsessed because death has been pushed aside and repressed to such a strong degree i mean we've in every chance we've gotten we've kind of tried to neuter and and make

clean and and cellophane and sanitize the very messy grief-stricken process of death itself and in in any type of repression then you get distortion and perversion right and this is the the place where we're in where we're pushing death away at every possible chance and cost keeping people alive who have no sentience left at all if at any at any cost at any sake pump them before as many drugs as possible just absolutely death phobic you know phantom phobic i guess you would say and with that we become obsessed just with the repression of same

with repression of sexuality then it creates an obsession with it because it's not allowed to live its natural course and we're not allowed to engage in it in the way that actually you know the our ancestors used to yes and death is an anagram for hated so what an interesting coincidence everything is echoing and reflecting we're creating out of consciousness and the word just as you were saying and we are cultivating our hearts so that our words become more beautiful because right now people talk about we're writing our will we may be here to live

it and if it's our will that other people suffer because they disagree with us i mean well that's what we'll be living in i mean paint the picture of what you really want in your life and inhabit it energetically at various intervals i call that you just described part four of the book that i'm working on literally that's it that's it paint the picture of your life but first you have to understand what do you really want which requires you to understand who you really are and where you are right and then what you want

and then the fourth part is like all right now write your story and then inhabit that story with all of your essence all of your being every part of you live inside that story and that story will become real by your occupation of it with your full heart how delicious and what we want is the feeling anyway you almost don't need the accoutrements after that yeah yeah they're just vehicles they're just portals to the sensation and when all too often ramdas talks about this we'll get stuck worshiping the gate rather than going through it yeah

you know like oh the gate you know especially with sexuality oh this pair of genitals or this physical what what's the point it's a gate it's a portal it's a portal to something else like don't get obsessed with the gate like go through the gate into the portal that's where you want to go anyways right like you want to go through the portal but we'll get obsessed with the with the mechanism by which we get it yes what is it called confusing the map for the territory so you brought up so many poems that i

have so i'm not going to go into my um pherography at the moment anyway i'd like it it did make me notice your fairy wing yes earrings when you said yes yes so this is my first time publicly going full on fairy because of your kind invitation and and nobody wants a half fairy we want full fairy or no fairy at all exactly and we don't want it to be unfairy so but rather than do that particular poem my my fairy's tale i'd rather do one called the time of our lives because it talks about

the redundancy of the idiocy that you were talking about don't you see this obvious thing evidently not you're sleepwalking so um i wrote a poem and aldous huxley called that sleepwalking some ambulance i always thought that was a good word it is a good word yeah yeah yeah there's so many good words there are so many good words i know you know reverend michael bernard beckwith i know of him i haven't met him but uh i imagine that connection will be made at some point i adore him and i was his student in the early

90s and his editor um he wasn't writing books then it was more articles so okay ah at the end of one of the year-long classes we had to do a creative expression of what this closer walk with god means to you and i wanted to braid the language which i used to do a lot which is what i called linking words through rhyme and sense and i didn't think i could still do it i had very little faith in my own intelligence and finally the time was coming and the reason we have death i realize

is because without deadlines we wouldn't do anything yes indeed and so i went to my favorite wilderness park in malibu where i'm often alone 550 acres of trees in in art art or embrace that's not the right form of the word in sensual embrace with stones they grow sections out of their trunk to embrace stones it's such a powerful place so i i walked and i i told my elemental friends well actually it was a lizard a big lizard in a pathway and i asked if i could sit by it and i was given permission

and we sat for an extended period of time and i poured out my angst that i want to be able to create and i want to be able to braid language again and i don't know if i have the capability i don't think to do a very good job and i took notes on what i heard i don't know where they are but what lasted in my memory is i heard through this vehicle quality is never the issue authenticity is and i thought well i can do that and so i wrote a poem called first

person singular and i didn't think it was very good because it rhymed and sophisticated poems didn't at that time and i thought it was another indication of my elemental or elementary nature but in any case i did recite it it was well received the president of a new age label higher octave music a fellow named matthew marshall asked if i wanted to do an album of my verse for their label and i'd only written that one poem plus i had marijuana sutra from 12 years prior so but i said yes and so first i got

4 000 to do it i didn't know how long it would take and and then it just grew up 10 000 i got from this one poem first person singular which gave my vision of what the world looked like when i came into it i said i'll share just like patreon okay please thank you this life is like a shadow play the flickering of night and day through which illusions in our minds are manifest and intertwined into a web that few evade though they see through the masquerade when i was small i felt so certain

i could peak behind the curtain and i was sure what would appear would be some master puppeteer who pulled the strings and wrote the dance of orchestrated happenstance the world appeared for all its noise like stage sets made of tinker toys where people played pre-scripted roles like lost and unawakened souls who hardly ever came alive which helps the culture to survive this haunting specter made me feel lives don't unfold they just unreal as numberless non-entities identical identities are merged into a single herd manipulated by the word and driven by insane obsessions to sell their souls

for their possessions and all are taught to genuflect to knowledge and to intellect to follow the majority to kowtow to authority to worship youth in beauty like some consecrated duty and to treasure monetary wealth more than the earth and life itself and everyone i met pretended this made sense and were offended when i told them i perceived that all of them had been deceived for everything materials essentially ethereal which means we need to pay attention to the source of this dimension i suggest it every action that we take for satisfaction might be merely metaphorical for

current and historical desires of the human being to unify with the unseen creative force that animates that elevates intoxicates and fascinates the human mind enabling us to leave behind the torment of our daily cares when such a source is reached with prayers it's always transformational quite healing and sensational but often people want that splendor but aren't willing to surrender egocentric motivation for divine illumination since no one seemed to get my point i'd sit alone and smoke a joint and simply let my mind unhinge while speculating from the fringe about a novel paradigm that blends the

human with sublime trapped in this world i thought that i would scrape my head against the sky if i allowed myself to be what spirit had in mind for me so i avoided normal life i'd no career i'm no one's wife i stayed on the periphery of regular society for fear that if i drew too close that i too might go comatose so it goes on for another two pages we'll skip over to a different one that's the poem that got me the opportunity to write an album of my verse i understand why thank you

and so i didn't know what i'd write about so i thought since people love horror why don't i just hold up a mirror to the times so i wrote a piece called the time of our lives and matthew i was doing i guess what's his name clinton and gore were new in office so there was some optimism and so he he looked at the poem you read it and he said kind of dark isn't it and so i put it away for 30 years i had no tolerance for criticism having had way too much of

it growing up so then i shared it and so so i wrote two poems venting my rage about the insanity of the system and how people are so gullible like guppies i guess so i wrote the time of our lives i mostly have it memorized i believe i may have it all memorized but i will have this with me beautiful thank you well i guess i'll wait until i need it we're always tense about time whether future present or past we try to beat it kill it waste it yet fear it will not last we

fret about tomorrow and then mourn for yesterday and thus we live our lives in sorrow and increasing disarray while still believing sudden wind falls could bring everything our way night falls so day breaks and each morning we awake and through the week days undertake to earn our living till we make it to the weak and bleak and weakened just in time to catch our breath and certainly to get de-rest we run our lives on deadlines and then wonder why they're dismal and why all the daily headlines grow increasingly abysmal but it really isn't hard to

figure why there's so much fighting for when life is this lackluster death seems all the more exciting and since malice and brutality is what we call reality then callous immorality can grant one immortality we long to live forever but we don't live in the moment and we hope to be so clever as to wrangle a postponement when we fear our death's arrival for we think our soul survival is dependent on the likelihood of physical revival we are timeless beings living in time we are deathless beings living and dying we are human beings essentially divine living

mundane lives that were meant to be sublime we want to grow just not right now we want to change just not too much we want the truth downplayed somehow let's all get close let's just not touch we think we've all the time on earth what little times remaining and believe we're of too little worth to spend that time refraining from the various um i just got off track the mind went so nefarious various addictions that we use for anesthesia which then render us unconscious in a deepening amnesia such that problems we're avoiding we're at a

staggering dimension since that's what it takes to captivate our wandering attentions in hoping for a second coming to prevent us from succumbing to the suicidal sirens call we're hastening a harder fall we would have to be delirious to overlook how serious this is lack passion to survive but we're both numbed by the immensity and hooked on the intensity because it helps us know that we're alive and thus we face this dire emergency with little sense of urgency desensitized by our routines and all the tragedies we've seen so it's no wonder for vacation we indulge in

wreck creation since it takes tremendous voltage just to give us some sensation since we're wandering unawakened in the eden we've forsaken all the while perplexed about the dismal turn that things have taken we live like paupers in paradise and through the bars of our paper prison project upon the universe the narrow and distorted vision by which we all are scrutinized then analyzed and hypnotized until the world so sanitized denatured and dehumanized that love and trust are violated spirit is annihilated and ruined lives are just the casual ties that the pace of the race has liquidated

for we run the human race like it's some deadly competition wherein everyone is driven by their greed and blind ambition to amass the greatest wealth and fight for number one position against everybody else whom we declare the opposition which is why we're here 2 000 years later and we still haven't learned to love our neighbor but full of judgment and begrudgement speak our peace then draw our saber waving it with righteous pride convinced that god is on our side while we proceed like holy terrors to decimate god's human errors this labyrinth of insanity created by

humanity is stupefying all our youth who go insane in search of truth since rarely do they ever find a grown-up who is of sound mind but trapped in city idiocies inequities that hideously beget the grim scenarios of ghettos slums and barrios our children dance to violence romance the deadly heroine while all that they are dreaming of is dying literally for love like towering trees to toothpicks whittled our children's souls are thus belittled yet still we make our foolish choices drowning out our children's voices unconcerned that they are crying while the earth and air are dying

for we are quick to sacrifice their future for a paltry price for nothing ever could suffice a parasite in paradise we are an idiot savant we've a grand intellect to flood but only just the smallest ration of deep wisdom and compassion and there is really nothing smart about a brain without a heart although it seems to be the ultimate seduction because it grants us unchecked power but just to bring our darkest hour as it endows us with the genius for destruction it has brought us to this precipice below us looms a deep abyss in which

our dreams may all get smashed our children's legacy be dashed and yet we have no other course unless we recognize our source because the ego thinks it's greater than its own divine creator and if ego wins then geo spins into a grim oblivion and no one knows how deep it goes or if we will return again it rarely comes to our attention that this is just a dream dimension but we wake now or no doubt lingers the live stream will slip through our fingers [Music] that was beautiful that was beautiful i've often pondered that ego

translated in latin as i am but actually ego is referring to exactly the opposite because it's referring to the part of us that says i am not it's the part of us that's declaring separation from our source whereas i am is participating in the grand i am of everything and it's almost as if the very word itself plays a trick the word ego yeah it does you just spin it around and you have geo we're meant to go from egocentric to geocentric yeah and you know i've referenced him a few times but you know again

my teacher rabbi gaffney he talks about the evolution of man from homo sapiens the thinking man you know the of mental the kind of the mental mental deification of what what our potential is to homo amor which is you know beautiful you know the the man of the heart the man of love and and i say man in the mankind sense of the word obviously i i know i love how that microphone is is connecting your heart chakra right to your throat and your mouth wow you are such a truth teller i i do my

best to clear my way of all the truth and you know sometimes the words do get in the way and i think i recognized earlier i've always been a poet myself and been writing poems and you know one of the first poems i can't remember it exactly but it was basically expressing that truth or not i mean words are not the craft of the poet they're the obstacle they clumsily get in the way of the reality that we're really speaking about right like they're a clumsy obstacle that we use and we use them in the

best way that we possibly can but they'll only ever approximate that which we're really called to so what occurs to me is i've liked the phrase articulating the ineffable finding words for which there are no words and i would imagine that as you continue to elevate your consciousness and have experiences that words will occur to you from whatever source for for that how to describe that so that brings me back to that word i have talked about to just that i invented um if you could call it that i cemented it together um to as

a word for the most exquisite sensation of intercourse with perfect strangers in ways that um there is a conception of a new life of the mind of the heart of experience something takes place through an interchange like that and the pleasure principle is what motivates us and the more we are clearing the debris away of all the conditioning we experience the more we sensitize the instrument for sweeter and finer forms of pleasure so my word for the ultimate pleasure is meta transcentuous suprasexual para hedonism and the tagline is accept nothing less so all those words

meta trans supra it's all about above above above above so hedonism pleasure that is at such an elevated level that oh my gosh the trees are growing all around you the the harmony of your walk through the forest is a symphony for the trees as they are for you it's just hearing you speak it's very much in the lineage of the erotic mystics of many lineages and many times from the kabbalist mystics to the sufi mystics you know the way that rumi talked about the great beloved all around him in every way the whipping winds

it is silks and the sweet wine and the he was making love to all of life the the erotic was not reduced to the sexual it was expressed in every single thing every every context and every in every way and i think reawakening this impulse to live erotically is essential for us to actually have a world that we want to save protect fight for live for you know and without that i mean if we are actually in hell who cares let it go let it die like whoever wants to save hell you know like my

that needs to be transformed so until we get to a place where we can step inside the pleasure of this erotic life that we have literally at our fingertips by the pleasure that can transmit through our skin and our eyes and our ears and our hearts in every aspect right then we're not going to really understand what we're even doing what are we even fighting for yeah so because we're fighting for feelings right and fighting over feelings yeah and it's all and again it's a we're pretending that there's scarcity when we're really living in an

abundance of ecstasy yes and we just have to find the keys to open the doors and using the right words and the right intentions the right feelings the right tools of course for me plant medicine has been a big part of that tool relationship is another beautiful tool all of these are just tools to get us through that portal get us through that gate where we're living so alive and so erotically with all of life that it causes people to defect from that world that you're talking about because they're looking over and they're saying wow

that looks great over there maybe let's try that way and of course some people will attack that world because it challenges them and they don't think they can get there and if you don't think you can get there maybe you should destroy that thing so you don't have the anguish of not being where you would like to really be and i think that's where you see so much you know attack on those people who you know myself included who are trying to say like welcome to heaven population everyone like we're here oh okay so you

have brought up two poems if this is did i cut you off too short perfect time thank you it's ipsissima verba is a latin term for the very word and i just want to preface it by saying the sun in the sky and the sun of our you know our child um i believe we need to swap the vowels the sun in the sky needs the big round o to represent its fullness the sun that is your child can have the you which is like he's part of you and and is the chalice so i

think that's all i need to say because i'm going to start off with those two words the very word from worshipping the sun man grew to worshiping the sun and so i cannot help but wonder just how far we've really come since every prophet of the high imperium has said the light of the divine is meant to shine in everyone and so i took a look at dogma for i've always found it sound odd and discovered that it's backward turned around it spells out am god next i took the holy eucharist and saw that with

a letter switch a door appears to paradise because it now spells you a christ and then i found an atheist bound by no faith cannot exist for breathe a space twixt a and t and a theist shows up instantly then i found the word theocracy where church and state dictate united and governmental policy is said to be divinely guided is actually a homonym which means it has a verbal twin the alternate theocracy spelled with an s and not a c is not in every dictionary which is itself a commentary for theocracy means union of the

personal soul with god within around and above so what need have we for admonitions to boos decrees or prohibitions when all are guaranteed admission to the promised land by definition so that's that one thank you do you want to do one of yours i thought you know i thought about that and christian uh on our team here who you've i love that you guys have developed your own relationship as well i love this man his vision statement you've seen his vision statement no have i seen your vision statement you're entering your entry we're breaking the

fourth wall now christian is coming out from behind from behind the fourth wall and now would you rather he has a vision statement come step into the light my friend i step into the light my friend and take the microphone let's go and and christian i shared it with a husband and wife who are spiritual awakeners i read that to them and the wife gasped it's so profound it's so true it's so beautiful it's so clear oh look at you go look at you go all right come over to this side and i don't know

if this will go high enough for you but i'm gonna give you my seat and i will uh i will hang out in the background yeah so part of my work in bringing people onto the show it's been really beneficial for me to frame it in the way that i shared with you and the way that i put it and the way that i see myself with the mythopoetic lens is i see myself as a scout who hunts down the imaginal cells of a more beautiful world and leads them to platforms that amplify their signal

and so you do i just so appreciate you and look at who you're apprenticing to i mean you are a young man on the rise and and of such a humble sweet inquiring nature and serving just gorgeous i'm sorry i'm not wearing my bio geometry pendant my fairy wanted to come out thank you so much oh absolutely for putting me on the spot well in our little break there i found a poem that was actually potentially going to be forever lost unless i unless i looked for it just now because i recorded it and then

it just went off into the ether somewhere so i can i can offer this poem and then maybe something else i found that's not exactly a poem but it's a it's a very meaningful thing that i cannot potentially share i would not potentially yeah well which gives me the opportunity to introduce the word inteliki which means an actuality versus a potentiality we all talk about actualizing our potential absent the awareness that there's already a word for it not only of actual an actualization but the inner force within that for instance um turns you know causes

the acorn to burst open and a tree grow that is the word for it is intellicate and that's not one of your words that's a word that is no no it's a greek word yeah i think it belongs to aristotle initially yeah it's the intelligence contained within the acorn that has all the intelligence of the tree is that the idea well to me um that was my expansion on it my expression of my understanding is simply that that force within us the self-actualizing energy within us and right now it's on um uh it's really it's

revved up we got it we're watering it and we've been giving it sunlight yeah yeah yeah and here we are yeah all right here's a poem tyranny is not the virus it is the host it is not the ghost it is the house we know tyranny in our bones because there's a tyrant in our shoes born into a world of win-lose of don'ts and dues the 8 billion people pyramid game of trying to elevate your name above that other girl over that guy right there why are people following them anyway what about what i have

to say wait never mind i'm not going to say anything what if i get it wrong people will get mad at me criticize me judge me cancel me what if i'm not actually better than them what if we're all actually the same what if i can't win the game i'm just not going to play sing dance do anything safer that way hey and that my friends is how tyranny becomes the substrate upon which your united state of consciousness is staked so if tyranny is the host then freedom is the virus and it's contagious inside the

social distance so take off your mask and expose yourself to it touch it feel it taste it [ __ ] it the ecstasy of liberation injecting into your cells infecting self-condemnation extracting you from hell changing your dna showing you a different way to live without a despot ruling from above but emergent from the source field of love then you become the host terrorizing the house of tyranny as the holy ghost singing hymns of peace as an act of war not against but for the more beautiful world we came here for incredible thank you i mean

it was like a a visionary trip yeah an altered state of consciousness powerful thank you thank you yeah these poetry for me is interesting is i just need to get like a thr it's like a thread comes down from from the ether it's just like a string of a kite and sometimes it's windy up there and heavy and i can't quite pull it down but oftentimes as soon as i get a hold of the thread i can pull down the hole does it all come at once often if i'm in the current i can keep

going with it and then i let it sit for a minute and then from there i get to refine it you know and and then it gets typically better as i iterate over it but i usually get most of it out with the with the thrust and sometimes i just get enough of a thread where i know that i could go back and if i wanted to and i felt inspired i could go weave it all the way through and sometimes it just goes all the way through wow beautiful yeah very sensuous experience it is

yeah i think it's one of the things i think early as a earlier as a poet you get a little bit lost in the artifice of creating poetry like the rhyme the cadence the how the but then eventually it becomes more like a rhythm it becomes more like a dance with words rather than uh you know some kind of engineering project and i think if you make poetry an engineering project it's not going to be fun and it's not going to it's not going to feel right you know what i mean it's of course the

creative constraint is part of what makes poetry beautiful but there's it really is more of a it's more of a rhythm it's more of a feeling it's a transmission rather than a an architectural project yes absolutely and in terms of rhyme being an artifice um [Music] i want to share with you my period penchant for punting and rhyme and period i believe it's a an island in macedonia said to be the home of the muses and so my tongue is naturally curly so my words come out in rhyme this started very early and still happens

all the time i've done my best to compensate to speak in tidy rows of prose but for my words to come out straight my tongue would have to decompose and i've amused far too amused with rhyming words and verbal curlicues she has me dripping on my tongue each time we come upon a pun so is this diction an affliction and my verse some kind of curse am i to keep my tongue in check and cheek make points not spirals when i speak no it is beyond my powers to speak in sentences songs flowers for words

are so alive in me with lm and tall energy that i'm compelled to let them dance upon the page thus my pen chants arrive with rhythm rhyme and pun they slip off fingertips and tongue i sigh and they escape my lips in sonic somersaults and phonic flips so since i can't excuse this quirky temperament or lose my amuse-bouche speech in peppermint though it might be for my sentiments betterment i put these gifts to frequent use by whipping up spirits in a literal moose for when i let loose and go for broke then sweeter words cannot

be spoken as i challenge you to find the equal to my enchanted verbal treacle and i feel like you really embody that in which when the rhymes that you've shared in every one of your poems it's a delight and that's what you ultimately want it to be is an unpredictable delight where you don't know the next rhyme that's coming you haven't you don't see it where it where it's going you and it delights you every time you do it and it just flows out of you effervescently and that's poetry yeah that's when it just and

it's not that it's not that if you were writing an iambic pentameter if it's great poetry you don't notice the iambic pentameter you're just lulled into the rhythm of the structure like a great salsa dancer if you're a beginning salsa dancer you're always worried about the steps and it doesn't look very much like dance it looks like practice steps and practice moves and then you see somebody who's a real salsa dancer and like holy [ __ ] they're really dancing you know and it's just about and again it's just practice and it's not just not

to say that if your poems are in in that kind of like you're learning how to salsa and they just rhyme great like writing of any sort is going to be beautiful and and i think my invitation for all the writers is just really tap into the feeling and the spirit and the rhythm of what you want to say right and then the rest will find its way yes and one of the sort of stumbling blocks i've seen in using rhyme is looking for any rhyme even if it's not the perfect word right and um

putting artifice before art exactly exactly yeah um but it's like playing with magnets and when you find two that fit together both in sound and meaning wow it's like a very strong magnet and it's funny a thought goes flickering uh i'm sure i'll find it again if i need to well since we're here the other thing that i was going to share this is a this is something that came through um as a practice and it came through very much like a poem but it wasn't a poem and it was a eulogy for myself that

i could hear being spoken through one of my dear friends a good friend named john beer and i could hear him saying it and it was like and i think for me i've always trusted i think why it came through me hearing it through his voice is i trusted him to to tell it like it is you know and to say and to speak the truth he always speaks his mind and he doesn't filter his words or you know kind of candy coat them in some way to make them more palatable oh how wonderful someone

who says it like he experiences exactly exactly so i did this little eulogy practice and again this is um this is something that i thought was a cool practice and i have never shared it of course it's of course deeply personal and uh potentially emotional but um it was interesting to think of you know what someone might say about me at my at my best and and also you know in my truth you couldn't put a box around him he was this he was that he was whatever he put his mind to he was what

he cared about whether it was for an instant or forever he was a shape-shifter a polygon too vast to count vertices he was always whatever you needed him to be and sometimes what you wanted him to be he [ __ ] he laughed he cried he died but he [ __ ] lived it wasn't easy at first to live that big until he learned to love to love that big to care that big not about himself but for the good of all by lana opened the door his children even more aubrey was funny bylana would

say he was cute he was a poet he was a savage he was a sweetheart he didn't always get it right but he [ __ ] tried he was a good man a king a husband a son a father a lover of life scared only of fear itself he was free let it be said that here lay the ashes of a free man who chose to be in prison so he could show the way out a liberator he was magic he was a rascal he was god with a wolf heart he was aubrey and at

his best he was nobody wow i mean it's staggering it's so powerful and clear and um and it's such a marvelous exercise to do yeah wow wow who you are and how you express it that was very powerful thank you yeah thank you thanks for receiving it oh my gosh i don't think i would have read that if it wasn't for the invitation that you laid by your both your sweetness and your playfulness and and and the kind of intimacy of this intercourse that we've had together on this podcast it's been really a beautiful experience

for me too thank you thank you um i'm so glad you shared it and i hope i hope you're going to do quite a bit more sharing of your poetry yeah i mean i i typically try to get them out there's lots of fragments and pieces and things that have been uh not developed but it's it's a part of me it's a part of it's a part of who i am and it always works well it must be for the fluency and the um depth and breadth of insight and the ability to articulate the ineffable

i mean how do you find a few words that create such an image of what's happening and how you are yeah that's that's masterful oh thank you thank you oh yeah well as we close here is there anything else you'd like to share yes our beloved listeners thank you um i would like to share speaking beauty okay and i consider it an anthem for our era let's go we are godlings on this planet here because we all pre-planned it ghastly ghostly shadows damn it now's our chance to superman it lift your voices re-enchant it freedom's

codes are all semantic though we're small and sometimes frantic souls are whole and all gigantic these may be our darkest hours but each of us has superpowers the infinite is in finite which means we can turn on the light all life's a dream and we're the dreamers though hate streaming through the schemers we're all here as world redeemers beaming peace we're love supremers so mages sorceresses sages artists of all sorts and ages share your gifts now be courageous daring actions are contagious a diamond mind and heart of gold are gifts the prophecies foretold for those

uniting souls on earth by recognizing each being's full worth when we let go of againstness we step into our immenseness for the genesis of genius is the light we strike between us when we share the gifts with which we're blessed to inspire higher consciousness then we'll gain what we've been dreaming of the gift of everlasting love the bliss of everlasting love the kiss of everlasting love [Music] laurel erica this has been such a pleasure where can people go to see more of you thank you um i have a youtube channel um i am working with

a young animator to put more of my work out there's opportunities to fund there and also the patreon page um wordmagicglobal.com become a subscriber and receive the free book of e a book of alphabet alchemy you'll receive announcements of everything that's going on including an upcoming word magic class as well as monthly sacred rights creative circles and i'm so grateful for you and here's the here's the big news is it's time as we know to create that new lens that new vision and that's by tuning up the language as we discussed and see there's disgust

we had a conversation and am i disgusted about it no i'm not i'm delighted so so come come to my website and subscribe and check out the classes and and all of that and um oh what i was going to say time to evolve the language collectively creatively we can do it rapidly the vision i've had for a very long time is a literary lotto where people are incentivized with the profit motive to open to the still small voice with the desire and intention to download a new word either a tune-up or an old one

or your own invention for something really special that when people hear this word and what it means to you it will resonate their heartstrings they will have more music in their in their being so you'll get to send it in and we'll start collecting words and choosing the ones we think are the most exquisitely beautiful because remember it's like we're evolving the word to evolve the world we're up leveling the language to uplevel our own consciousness so that we absolutely are able to make at the crucial moment that evolutionary leap from humankind to human kindness

however that looks moment by moment because obviously a global warming of the earth earth and heart of the same word only through a global warming of the heart can we possibly address it by sharing resources so i have a book unpublished called we do come with instructions it's all so simple and so obvious you just have to look and so please come to my website play with me come send in a word you'll see where and this if you want to be part of the team of selecting words and phrases and please go look at

um taking command of the english language on youtube it outlines how to do it and um so that we are collectively creatively evolving language it takes a team um the idea is to uh if people send in with a few dollars like a lottery and then the words that we find most resonant and beautiful and catalytic we promote them we market them we honor the prophet who brought it forth and profit the prophet as well so people are cultivating the muscle of inner listening while we are putting like these kinds of flowers bouquets of beauty

of of positive qualities that resonate positively with us we start uh it everywhere like like um forest flowers wild flowers you'd really like my poem i think open heart synchrony but if we need to go we can do it another time but it is a vision of what will happen how what this kind of an evolution of language undertaken collectively and each one cultivating inner listening and contributing to it what it can do not only energetically to how we feel and the people we connect with and the skill we're developing of inner listening but have

the impact on the environment so well i will never step in front of a poem that is ripe and ready to be shared so please do it i i it also comes to mind and not to take us into another tangent as well but the one person who i've seen a writer cormac mccarthy i've noticed that in his writing when i've read his writing he would use a word and i'd be like wow i've never heard that word and it wouldn't be a word he just came up with something that seemed to fit the expression

of what he was saying and you knew you knew what it meant but you've never heard it ah perfect and it's it's like almost moving from writer consciousness to creator consciousness in this really beautiful way and and you're inviting that from the highest conscious perspective you know so i love the uh i love the project and you know bring us home with your final poem thank you and um just to say what was i just going to say i thought when i wrote this piece i couldn't stop until it completed itself and i said to

myself you are really gilding the lily you are going so over the top and then i think it was a number of years later i'm i was walking in the neighborhood and i met ann and whitley strieber and we became friends do you know whitley communion he was one of the first people if not the first to come out with his abduction experience and a movie was made of it he has many books brilliant man who's had many experiences with those he calls the visitors so they gave me a book by william henry called the

language of the birds and it is everything my fantasy turns out to be part of ancient mythology beautiful i think of how exquisite it will be when we endeavor together to create an enchanting living language of supernatural poetry scintillates so sensually that everything around us begins to vibrate sympathetically our words will bring so true that our honest expressions initiate lyrical sensations that every creature can appreciate since we are all interconnected genetically and electromagnetically so just as bird songs cricket choirs and other natural voices evoke a wholesome rhythm and nourishing harmonic on the planet our gentle

elemental language every time it is spoke will resonate syntonically with earth and all upon it then when we give our words if they can't be broken we shall spin gold every time they are spoken [Music] this may sound absurd but let no one scoff it for in truth be told it shall make us profit if this vision vibrates your soul then let go of concern for the rules of transformational english grammar that have made us all such conversational fools virtually deafened to the defamations still hidden by the glamour of our incessant ancestral verbal clamor instead

open your heart's mind to the transcendental music of the new singlish language with its true sacred spells affirming terms amazing phrases that can ring all our bells lift our spirits sing god's praises till our whole communication with the lord in all creation underwrites our transformation and world rejuvenation let's set tongues wagging around the world with the possibility of sweetening up english to a true romance language for if our words so melt the heart they start the melt of human kindness flowing so that every time we speak our mind we set another flower growing then i

believe before our very eyes we human beings like butterflies will fully metamorphosize and as new creatures in the sun who speak the language that's become our mother planet's mother tongue in this first aquarian millennium [Music] we will talk our way back through the garden gate with words that help reconsecrate this hallowed ground to which we all are bound by fate for that with the lyrics to the song of songs that rings throughout creation we will re-green the meadows of our hearts with sacred psalms and incantations and with poems so rich in spirit pollen mercy grows

where words have fallen and all of us with faith and trust will clearly hear our own soul calling and then do you know what we can call this place when everybody walks and talks with the beauty kindness wisdom love and grace of a buddha or the christ paradise for our joyful noise will have made it possible for us to love and live on the freer frequency of a higher octave thank you thank you so much laurel it's been a pleasure it's been a true pleasure and thank you everybody for tuning in we love you goodbye

thanks for tuning in everybody i hope this illuminated all of the power that words can have in your life in communication and also an understanding deeper into your own psyche thanks for tuning in as always everybody we deeply appreciate all the likes and subscribes and shares that's what keeps this thing going so thank you so much i love you and i'll see you next week
