  Hey everyone, it's Gary Dean here, and welcome to EyeOpener Society.
• 0:07
  Thank you again for joining us.
• 0:09
  This is kind of a let-you-know kind of episode, I guess.
• 0:14
  The absence of Lizzie, we are in the change of the seasons for this podcast.
• 0:22
  Basically, it's not episodic. We're doing it now.
• 0:25
  Seasonal. Doesn't matter. Doesn't change anything. But during the change of
• 0:29
  season, we like to kind of regroup and start to change things up and all for you.
• 0:37
  So the time of this recording, when it's released, I will be in Kentucky and
• 0:45
  I will be down there with Carly and Carla at Appalachian Rootworks.
• 0:49
  Visit them at appalachianrootworks.com.
• 0:53
  Check out their metaphysical shop.
• 0:56
  It's probably one of the best metaphysical shops I've ever been in.
• 0:59
  And check out some of their services.
• 1:02
  And you can order online or you can visit them in Cynthiana,
• 1:06
  Kentucky, which, like I said, as of this recording, I should be down there now.
• 1:10
  And I am doing my very first in-person meditation classes.
• 1:18
  So I'm pretty excited and I can't wait for that. And I'm just looking forward
• 1:23
  to a whole new way of living.
• 1:26
  So as I mentioned, the absence of Lizzie, it's her daughter's birthday this
• 1:31
  week, and I know she's got a lot going on.
• 1:33
  So I really would like her to take care of everything that she's got going on
• 1:36
  family-wise, because that comes first before any of this.
• 1:41
  So the new season, we're coming into the season of summer, and it's one of my favorites.
• 1:47
  I mean, I'm not really a fan of too hot, too cold, but I like the summer because
• 1:52
  summertime, it's the complete rebirth.
• 1:56
  It represents life.
• 1:59
  And the seasons, you know, as they change, they represent different things.
• 2:03
  And depending what temperate zone you're in or where you live at,
• 2:06
  maybe you have only one season or only two seasons here in Pennsylvania. I got four.
• 2:12
  And it's just nice when you see everything alive.
• 2:19
  The trees, the birds, the insects, everything.
• 2:22
  Everything's alive. And this is the coming forward right now of all of that. And it's spectacular.
• 2:30
  It's a nice hot day and you could go into the woods where it's a little bit
• 2:33
  cooler and humid alongside of a little creek bed or something where I sit and meditate.
• 2:38
  I enjoy it so very much and I look forward to doing that a lot more and I plan on trying to bring some,
• 2:46
  of our episodes where I'm going to be recording from those
• 2:50
  locations it's just going to depend if I got a good enough internet connection
• 2:54
  or not down there I know I've done it before I pulled it off but yeah I want
• 2:58
  to try and do some episodes like that but this little episode is just kind of
• 3:03
  letting you know that we're still here don't worry about it we may not be here
• 3:06
  next week and I might have a um.
• 3:10
  A pre-recorded thing from either Elaine from Arcane Oracle.
• 3:15
  She might have something for me.
• 3:17
  If not, I'm going to try and see if Halos Phoenix can get us something.
• 3:21
  And I think that's one of the things we're going forward with this coming season.
• 3:26
  I'm going to have a few more guests on the show.
• 3:31
  And I'm not having guests like authors like I had before or people that are
• 3:36
  trying to sells something.
• 3:38
  I want true life, authentic people, everyday people living their lives that
• 3:44
  got the spirit of adventure in them.
• 3:47
  And I want them to tell their stories, the real stories.
• 3:52
  And that's what I'm looking forward to. I have some people that I think I got
• 3:55
  lined up that I hope can come on soon and we can show you that.
• 4:01
  And we're also going to try and mix things up. Right now, what we're planning
• 4:06
  for the church side of things is all four ministers are going to record solo episodes.
• 4:12
  This way people could tune into them specifically because like I always said,
• 4:17
  you may resonate with a certain person.
• 4:19
  You may not resonate with me and that's all fine and good, but you might resonate with Lizzie.
• 4:24
  You might resonate more with Halos. You might resonate more with Elaine,
• 4:27
  depending on their modalities.
• 4:28
  So I'm going to try and get them to do some of their little speeches,
• 4:32
  teachings, whatever it is they want to provide to eye-opener society and put
• 4:36
  them out as solo episodes.
• 4:39
  And then I would also like to try and get some mixed collaborations.
• 4:43
  Like instead of Lizzie and I, I'll have myself and Halos, or Halos and Lizzie, or Lizzie and Elaine.
• 4:51
  So these are things that I have planning all going on in the back of my mind.
• 4:56
  Again, on the church side, we're going to try and put out a newsletter.
• 5:00
  And I'm hoping to get that done in June. So it will be a June newsletter.
• 5:04
  Uh and it's just gonna be a little inspirational
• 5:07
  piece uh showing uh some inspiration some directions and things like that ways
• 5:14
  to reach out to us things you could do to make your life slightly better more
• 5:19
  improved whatever the case may be we'll try and put something out and we're
• 5:22
  gonna work on that and then um you could probably find that on our,
• 5:28
  church's website. And I always have a link, you know, in the synopsis of it,
• 5:32
  because I can't remember. It's too many dashes and dots and wicks and that.
• 5:35
  So just check out the link that I provide for you in the synopsis.
• 5:41
  This way you can visit the church and keep on top of things.
• 5:44
  I usually put up blogs whenever I got something, you know, that I think should be shared.
• 5:49
  You could also follow us on Facebook. And then I also want to introduce to the
• 5:52
  reoccurrence of our Bias a Ko-fi page.
• 5:55
  I got that link too in the synopsis as well. If you do wish to donate to us, we.
• 6:03
  Especially Lizzie and I, we battled this for a long while and not battle like
• 6:08
  her and her going head to head,
• 6:10
  but we were sharing ideas with this because we're trying to find ways to generate
• 6:14
  some sort of support behind us so we could keep building this and turn this
• 6:19
  more into the community that we want.
• 6:21
  And it was difficult because at first I tried a Facebook subscription page,
• 6:25
  but then I was like, nobody trusts Meta anymore. And neither do I.
• 6:30
  And the algorithm's there. Nobody gets notified of anything.
• 6:33
  And we do our lives, our Thursday sermons on there, and nobody gets notified.
• 6:38
  So it wasn't a great idea. So I wanted to pull back from that.
• 6:42
  And I was going to try Patreon and I had Patreon all set up,
• 6:45
  but then Patreon doesn't want you to do anything unless you've got so many members.
• 6:49
  So I was like, look, I always promise not to do a Patreon.
• 6:54
  I don't want people to pay for what we put out for free.
• 6:58
  But of course, I had a bunch of ideas to put behind a paywall for those of you that wanted.
• 7:04
  And even that was bothering me. I want my teachings, Lizzie wants her teachings
• 7:08
  out there for everybody to view.
• 7:11
  But we still would like to get a little bit of support and be in on the ground floor.
• 7:16
  And it was nice to have a paywall behind certain things. This way you could
• 7:19
  get things that we put out. But,
• 7:21
  it places too much pressure too, because not only do we got to worry about all
• 7:25
  of the free stuff, and we got a lot of that, then we got to work on content for behind the paywall.
• 7:30
  So look, we love you. If you love us and you would like to support us and you
• 7:34
  would like to be in on all the behind the scenes stuff, just shoot a donation
• 7:39
  to us on our Buy Us a Coffee page, buyusacoffee.com, Eye Opener Society.
• 7:44
  The link too is in the synopsis.
• 7:47
  I'll always have those in the synopsis too. You can donate as much as you want,
• 7:51
  as little as you want. I don't care.
• 7:52
  It's just very appreciative of you if you can. And we're going to work on ways
• 7:56
  if those that donate get to work with us for free without any kind of charges.
• 8:00
  We could do meditation sessions, energy sessions, sound healing sessions, tarot card sessions.
• 8:06
  Whatever we could come up with, we will let you know. We'll probably have that in the newsletter.
• 8:12
  This way we could show some appreciation towards you. But in the same time,
• 8:16
  do not hesitate to reach out to us.
• 8:19
  EOS, I'm sorry, churchofEOS at gmail.com, churchofEOS at gmail.com.
• 8:27
  Reach out to us if you want to work with us. And we could come out with it.
• 8:31
  Like, we don't have set pricings. We really don't.
• 8:34
  Most of it's going to be free. It all depends what it is you're asking for and
• 8:38
  how much time we got to, you know, give to the specific thing.
• 8:42
  So don't be afraid of money.
• 8:44
  We're all broke. I'm broke. You're broke. It's not a big deal.
• 8:48
  Reach out to us regardless.
• 8:50
  We'll work something out. But the biggest thing too, um, this past year,
• 8:57
  the amazing amount of growth from a podcast to a show to a church.
• 9:04
  I can't thank Lizzie enough because if it wasn't for all of her ideas and her
• 9:09
  support, we would have never gotten as far.
• 9:12
  And we've really, really moved ahead.
• 9:16
  We moved ahead in leaps and
• 9:19
  bounds to the point where we could sit back and relax a little bit and bathe
• 9:24
  in it because we did a lot of hard work and we hope that we touch even one or
• 9:30
  two people if we inspire somebody because that's what it really boils down to. We're tired of bad news.
• 9:37
  We're tired of anxiety and depression. We don't want that kind of nonsense here.
• 9:42
  We want everybody to get together and be happy, share some stories,
• 9:46
  share some ideas and theories and just
• 9:50
  let things be let's all
• 9:53
  live in the moment so going forward that's
• 9:56
  what it's going to be about even though we got a lot of big plans and we're
• 9:59
  getting them in motion right now this moment is what really matters and it's
• 10:04
  the only moment that's ever going to matter is the moment that we're in at that
• 10:08
  moment and yes all of our past achievements I could look back on them and say, we had a great time.
• 10:14
  We did so much. There's been so many changes and for positive,
• 10:18
  you know, for positive changes.
• 10:21
  But yes, it brings us to this moment, this moment of rest. And for each thing that we look forward to,
• 10:29
  When that time comes, we're going to deal with it. So in the meantime,
• 10:33
  I want to say thank you to every single person who listened,
• 10:36
  every single person who downloaded,
• 10:38
  every single person that's here in the United States, and especially all of
• 10:44
  you from overseas and different places, especially like Germany and Singapore and places like that.
• 10:50
  It's amazing how many of you have tuned into us, and we hope that we touched you as well.
• 10:56
  And we plan on keep doing that. I don't show any signs of stopping.
• 11:02
  I'm in a state of mind where I am so happy and so joyful for everything that
• 11:09
  goes on in my life, and I want to keep it moving.
• 11:12
  That's all I want to do, and I want to keep it on a very spiritual happy,
• 11:17
  a very high vibrational level, and that's all I want for everybody out there.
• 11:23
  So if I have all this excess energy, I hope you can pick up on some of it if you need it.
• 11:30
  So again, I thank you so much for tuning in, and we will see you again really
• 11:33
