  Yeah, the interaction is what we're really looking for. So either way,
• 2:07
  let's get this show kicked off.
• 2:10
  This is called Scattered Memories. And this is going to touch on a few things, I think.
• 2:17
  There's been something that sits on my mind all the time. And it comes up randomly.
• 2:22
  And it's, you know, let's just say, you know, however old you are,
• 2:28
  you know, however many years you've been on this planet.
• 2:30
  You know, I've been here 53 years, something like that. I don't know, 52, 53. I don't know.
• 2:36
  You don't even know how many years you've been here. I don't even know how old
• 2:39
  I am. I ask my mom all the time. Yeah.
• 2:42
  But if you think back, and like everybody has memories of some sort.
• 2:46
  And I'm not just talking about the big ones like, you know, marriages and childbirths.
• 2:52
  That's a given because so much goes into it that you do recall the,
• 2:57
  you know, stuff like that. But I'm talking about these very weird,
• 3:01
  odd memories that stick in your mind for no particular reason.
• 3:07
  And I sit and think about it, and I'm talking going way back to childhood.
• 3:13
  So after 53 years, I don't know, maybe I was...
• 3:18
  Four, five, maybe. It's very hard to say, but I'll remember every now and then
• 3:24
  some very particular memories, just so random.
• 3:28
  They mean nothing that at least I haven't figured that out yet. They mean nothing.
• 3:33
  And they're so vivid right down to what I was feeling, the weather and everything.
• 3:41
  Just for example, this is the one that always, for some reason, pops up in my mind.
• 3:46
  I was living uh god it
• 3:49
  was back in the bronx but i just remember and it's such
• 3:52
  a brief memory too it's maybe like only maybe a
• 3:56
  short chunk like a minute of my life that i
• 3:58
  remember gosh then i'm sitting on the couch with my mother watching a soap opera
• 4:04
  i don't know i don't recall what the soap opera was but i do remember vividly
• 4:09
  what was on there was like it was like a plane crash and they were trying to
• 4:12
  get people out of you know the plane of course all the drama going on in there.
• 4:16
  But I remember that. And I remember the fan being on. I remember the weather.
• 4:20
  It was a summer day. It was very sunny.
• 4:24
  And that's all I remember. But it is such a clear and distinct memory that I
• 4:31
  can remember verbatim everything from so, so long ago. It's insignificant.
• 4:37
  There's nothing else about it, but it remains just there. And every now and then it pops up.
• 4:44
  Which is very, very odd. So I don't know who else has memories like that.
• 4:48
  I'm sure we all do just some random vague thing.
• 4:53
  But if I can, I just want to incorporate into that like signs and symbols.
• 4:58
  If you're deep into meditation and all that and the metaphysical,
• 5:03
  there's got to be a reason for it.
• 5:05
  Maybe you need to like go watch a soap opera with your mom or something.
• 5:08
  And I don't know. Well, you see, but then again, there was a plane crash on,
• 5:13
  you know, as on the soap opera.
• 5:15
  So I don't know if there was something significant about that.
• 5:18
  Like don't get on a plane.
• 5:19
  Don't get a plane. I've been on planes since. I never had any issue with planes,
• 5:23
  but it's just a random weird memory. Yeah. That means nothing.
• 5:28
  Yeah. Do you have any of those?
• 5:31
  I probably do. But I like fresh in my mind right now that reminds me of my husband.
• 5:35
  Um my husband and his brother are about
• 5:39
  30 oh god 13 or 14
• 5:42
  months apart or something like that and justin always
• 5:46
  talks about that he has just like this random crisp clear as day memory where
• 5:51
  him and his brother were sitting out on their back porch like they lived in
• 5:55
  like an apartment at the time so it's just a tiny little back porch and he said
• 5:59
  like justin like he was sitting in the ball pit and Alex,
• 6:03
  his brother was just sitting on the balcony.
• 6:06
  He was playing with something. I don't remember.
• 6:08
  Like, you know, Justin would tell it better than me, but he said he distinctively
• 6:12
  remembers he was in the ball pit.
• 6:14
  He looked at Alex. He like looked down, he picked up a purple ball and just chucked it at him.
• 6:21
  He was like, and that's like something that he like remembers to this day.
• 6:24
  He's like, I don't know why I remember it so well, but like I remember it.
• 6:28
  With me, oh gosh, a distinctive memory that for some reason,
• 6:34
  it comes in my head more times for whatever reason.
• 6:39
  I remember, oh God, I probably was six, seven years old.
• 6:50
  Um my grandmother's
• 6:54
  brother so my great uncle lived around the corner from my grandparents and i
• 7:01
  um they used they lived like at like one of those like man-made lake things
• 7:07
  okay um you know i'm talking about off mount airy or whatever and they had a
• 7:11
  paddle boat it was a yellow paddle boat,
• 7:14
  and i'm sitting there on like just sitting
• 7:17
  there like on the paddle boat and it was docked or
• 7:19
  whatever they had like a little tiny dock and i remember like bits
• 7:22
  and pieces of like what was going on i just remember like distinctively i saw
• 7:27
  a snapping turtle in the water that had like weird like it's like i could draw
• 7:32
  it it's like a weird design on it's like what is it oh my god shell and then
• 7:37
  um see it like there's a little chunk missing of it but like the.
• 7:43
  The design that was on the shell is just something that's like in my head clear as day.
• 7:47
  And then also I remember I caught a fish like that was the first time I ever caught a fish.
• 7:52
  And it's just like such a random memory where it's like there's nothing that
• 7:56
  like benefits me of this memory.
• 7:58
  It's just one that just awkwardly just comes into my head so often for no damn
• 8:03
  reason. And I'm like, I need to draw out that symbol that was on that shell
• 8:07
  and get a tattoo of it or something like that, because it's just a random,
• 8:11
  pointless little memory.
• 8:13
  You know, the only beneficial thing of that memory is that that's like the first
• 8:17
  time I caught a fish when I was a kid.
• 8:18
  But like the turtle is what I remember the most, the snapping turtle.
• 8:22
  Well, there you go. Again, we're talking when you're trying to put together signs and symbols.
• 8:27
  You had two things. One, an animal. Usually animals represent something.
• 8:31
  And then there's a design on there.
• 8:34
  So you have symbols, you know, included in with that.
• 8:37
  That's why I think sometimes these memories, there's something that's probably
• 8:40
  missing from my little chunk of memory because I don't really recall anything
• 8:44
  as far as a sign or a symbol.
• 8:46
  Yeah it's just such a very random thing that
• 8:49
  it's just the most vivid memory i know and
• 8:52
  i have a few of them i could probably go into the brain archive and
• 8:55
  probably have like five or six you know little memories that
• 8:59
  just seem so rather insignificant but they
• 9:02
  just remain it's like i can't remember what i ate yesterday i
• 9:05
  can't remember what i ate probably three hours ago but these
• 9:09
  here memories just are stuck there yeah very random
• 9:12
  but if you do look into it with
• 9:15
  the signs symbols and they
• 9:19
  represent something to everybody individually i
• 9:22
  know there's so many books and you could google you know what
• 9:26
  does a turtle mean you know what does this symbol mean but they those books
• 9:30
  while very helpful you really got to put together every single thing that was
• 9:35
  going on in the moment because you have to try and decipher those things and what they really mean.
• 9:44
  So like for me, on that same account, this is where it gets scary.
• 9:51
  I remember all the time, I see growing up in the Bronx, there was this place called Pelham Bay Park.
• 9:58
  People don't realize, but the Bronx has the most greenery. Yeah.
• 10:03
  That borough has. I've heard that. It does.
• 10:07
  It's got a lot of parks and a lot of acreage. And Pelham Bay Park is one of the largest.
• 10:12
  I forget how many acres it covers, but it's very large.
• 10:15
  There's a lot of significant history in that place too.
• 10:19
  But as a kid, I remember going, my mom and dad, we used to go...
• 10:25
  It was called Rice Stadium. It was an old football stadium from like 1922.
• 10:31
  And it was just an abandoned ruin that's been in that park since.
• 10:35
  I know they since, from what I read up a little bit on, and they tore it down,
• 10:39
  I think, in mid-2000s or so.
• 10:42
  I remember when I was going there, it was so badly dilapidated.
• 10:45
  They had these stairs that used to go all the way up to this huge statue.
• 10:51
  But those stairs were all concrete. And it was just major holes.
• 10:55
  I'm surprised nobody died in those things, you know. Someone probably did.
• 10:57
  Probably. Who knows? But, you know, now because everybody's so,
• 11:00
  you know, cautious about that, they tore it all down.
• 11:02
  But it was, it was a ruin. But it was a really significant part of,
• 11:06
  you know, the Bronx's history with that.
• 11:08
  But I remember going there. And here's the weird thing now.
• 11:13
  I just remember climbing those stairs. And I also remember, if I'm not,
• 11:17
  I'm almost guaranteeing it was the same place.
• 11:20
  But there was like, I remember it was like either a fountain or it was just
• 11:25
  this design on a stone. It was almost like a face.
• 11:29
  And I don't understand why that always pops up in my memory.
• 11:34
  And I know there's a photograph.
• 11:36
  Man, I mean, I could check my photograph archives.
• 11:40
  I know there's a photograph somewhere of me as a kid standing in front of this
• 11:43
  thing. But here's the weird part.
• 11:46
  Going back, I was probably in my 30s. and for like maybe two years straight,
• 11:54
  I was having like these nightmares,
• 11:58
  absolute nightmares that all revolved around that place, that rice stick.
• 12:05
  And that's what was really weird. It was like so many years later,
• 12:08
  but this was the thing, it was reoccurring.
• 12:11
  It was so specific and it reoccurred so often that in my dream.
• 12:19
  As me, I knew what was coming next. One of those. It was just,
• 12:22
  and you know you're in a dream, but you can't wake up. You know what's coming next.
• 12:27
  And I don't recall much of it. It's weird. It's only when I had it would I really recall it again.
• 12:33
  But I remember it all took place right there in that Rice Stadium area.
• 12:38
  That's wild. And then, but the only thing different was there was some sort
• 12:42
  of house that I kept going into, like entering.
• 12:45
  And he was so like the darkest black of everything inside the windows and to me if i,
• 12:55
  put it all together as far as a sign or anything it almost feels like that place
• 13:00
  is some sort of a portal yeah that's the only way to describe it as far as that
• 13:05
  reoccurring nightmare and,
• 13:08
  the way it played out from what i haven't had it like since my 30s so it was
• 13:12
  quite a while i don't I don't recall very much of it, but I do remember the
• 13:15
  dark blackness inside the house and just exactly what happened when I entered
• 13:19
  it. And you going into it? Yeah, me going into it.
• 13:21
  That's the whitest person thing ever to do. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 13:25
  Yeah, but definitely, there's definitely some sort of more significance to that.
• 13:30
  But yeah, I definitely believe it was some sort of portal or something for me
• 13:34
  to recall a memory like that and then have my subconscious develop it into some
• 13:42
  sort of nightmare like that.
• 13:43
  But that's reoccurring so bad, so vividly.
• 13:46
  So, yeah, it's these random memories, do they? They have some sort of connection.
• 13:51
  They really do. And you need to put it together somehow.
• 13:55
  And that's why I always tell everybody, document everything,
• 13:59
  record everything, keep pen and paper next to your bed when you have these dreams,
• 14:03
  nightmares, no matter what it is.
• 14:04
  Write down every single specific detail that you can remember.
• 14:07
  And if you have these reoccurring random memories from childhood,
• 14:13
  write down those things too.
• 14:15
  Every single detail about them, because it could be a sign, symbol,
• 14:20
  whatever, and it could probably lead you to some understanding of your own life.
• 14:25
  I haven't figured out what mine was I don't know what that
• 14:28
  was but that was my stories that
• 14:31
  and also right around the same time it's very weird all these here memories
• 14:35
  occur only when I was living in this one place in the Bronx in my earliest you
• 14:40
  know and I remember for summary and I don't know if they were maybe blimps at
• 14:45
  the times I know balloon used to fly around a lot oh yeah New York City a lot,
• 14:50
  but I recall specifically buses, okay?
• 14:54
  Like actual commuter buses, the New York City style buses from the 70s.
• 15:00
  I remember it so, the detail. I remember them flying.
• 15:04
  I remember looking up in the sky and seeing the bus, because, and it was odd because I.
• 15:10
  I recall the detail underneath the drive trains, the suspension.
• 15:17
  It was just the weird. I don't know if it was a blimp, you know,
• 15:20
  that had maybe photos of the bus, you know, maybe promoting mass transit or something. Yeah.
• 15:26
  But to me, they were buses that were flying.
• 15:30
  Oh, my God. It's a very weird. And again, like I could close my eyes and I could
• 15:34
  picture myself in that moment, just walking on the street, looking up and seeing a flying bus.
• 15:41
  That's wild. And it was kind of like a floating, you know, I don't know.
• 15:46
  You feel like this is weird.
• 15:47
  But it's very weird, but it's something so significant and stuck in my head.
• 15:52
  And I do not recall exactly what it was, but to me, I remember it.
• 15:57
  Yeah. Clearly has, you know, and there's just so many. And it has to do probably
• 16:03
  something with that area that I grew up in. I don't know.
• 16:06
  You know, it's just like I could recall my mother getting electrocuted in that apartment.
• 16:12
  You know, she was vacuuming and I think it was a bad either a faulty plug or
• 16:17
  the board when she went to disconnect it. She got electrocuted.
• 16:20
  But something like that you would remember.
• 16:22
  Yeah. You know, because that's kind of like a traumatic event.
• 16:26
  But these other random things, I don't know why they are there. I don't know.
• 16:31
  It's very odd, but I brought this up because, again, I like to spread that to
• 16:36
  everybody else and say, hey, listen, dig deep into your archives and your memories.
• 16:41
  Piece together these things. I might do it myself, you know,
• 16:44
  concentrate on it and maybe try and figure out what the significance is of it.
• 16:49
  But I'm kind of at a loss for exactly why I saw a flying bus or why I can recall
• 16:56
  watching this soap opera.
• 16:57
  And I only remember maybe 10, 15 seconds of my life just right then and there.
• 17:03
  I just don't get it. You know, so it's weird.
• 17:06
  Anything else you have? I mean, obviously trauma, but I think that sucks for me.
• 17:11
  The thing that sucks for me is that I've been through a lot of trauma in my life.
• 17:16
  Life so trauma oppresses memory
• 17:21
  so a lot of like the
• 17:23
  memories that i have are traumatic things that have happened to
• 17:26
  me so unfortunately you know
• 17:29
  i when i try to like look back at my childhood
• 17:32
  or like my teenage years or something i just
• 17:36
  only remember the bad stuff or like you know like the significant
• 17:39
  good things like obviously like my older sister's graduating and
• 17:42
  you know all that that stuff but like i don't remember
• 17:45
  i've tried hard too i've sat there and
• 17:48
  like tried to concentrate just like random memories and even
• 17:51
  things that i feel like i should remember i just can't i don't know if it's
• 17:54
  just like i'm like trauma bonded with like all the stuff that's happened to
• 17:57
  me but it sucks because it's like i wish i could just get in my archives and
• 18:03
  be like oh yeah i do remember that time you know and the things that i do remember it's like the most.
• 18:09
  Randomest of randoms you know it's not like things that like i feel like you
• 18:14
  know that i would have significance that i should remember like i remember when i was god probably three.
• 18:22
  13 maybe i remember me
• 18:25
  and my friend we were sitting at the rail trail and we were
• 18:28
  throwing rocks and i accidentally threw a
• 18:31
  rock and hit her right in her freaking face or the top of her
• 18:33
  head or something like that and i felt so bad and still to
• 18:36
  this day i'll think about it every time i pass like the rail trail
• 18:39
  and i'm like oh my god i feel so bad still
• 18:42
  to this day you know years and years later but it
• 18:46
  sucks because i i want to remember
• 18:48
  more you know i want to be able to tell my kid about like
• 18:51
  things that were so you know meaningless but
• 18:54
  significant to me growing up but i just don't really
• 18:57
  remember a lot you know i remember only certain things but
• 19:00
  i feel like at my age i should remember a lot more and i don't yeah and maybe
• 19:05
  they come to and again like you said you know the rock incident that too is
• 19:09
  kind of traumatic so you know because that involves emotion yeah so it's not
• 19:15
  like anything like small or like i remember like you with you like you just remember.
• 19:19
  Sitting on the couch with your mom you know like and that's
• 19:23
  like a yeah you were with your mom and that's like a bonding type
• 19:26
  moment but it's not really because that's your mom you know you sat and watched
• 19:29
  tv with your mom probably thousands of times but it's like i want to remember
• 19:32
  something like that you know yeah and so i don't know if everybody like i say
• 19:37
  if you are listening in these you're thinking back you will remember and you
• 19:42
  will recall some things but like i said they might have emotions or trauma whatever
• 19:47
  but i'm just talking about the very
• 19:49
  random insignificance almost of it.
• 19:52
  But then there's places too, that you go and you grow up and I'm not talking
• 19:56
  just, you know, yeah, it's nostalgia, but there are places you go that actually mean stuff too.
• 20:03
  And my big one, and what I was very disappointed with was when I took your mom
• 20:10
  up to where I grew up, one of the first things I wanted to do was take her to
• 20:15
  a few of the places that I used to go to and have fun.
• 20:18
  You know, I'd show them where I grew up. Check out and stuff.
• 20:19
  Yeah, and one of those...
• 20:21
  I recall so vividly the Nathan's in Yonkers, right over the Bronx border.
• 20:28
  You know, the Nathan's famous hot dogs. So they had, you know,
• 20:32
  it was a pretty big place.
• 20:34
  So they had the restaurant section. Yeah. And they had the best hot dogs,
• 20:38
  the damn best French fries in the world.
• 20:40
  It was just a place I'd go to. And this was later on as I was growing up and
• 20:44
  we had cars and we used to go, you know, outside New York City.
• 20:48
  But it was always just kind of a place like after we've had our fun all night
• 20:52
  long, we'd hit this place usually on a Friday night or something,
• 20:55
  you know, on the way back as a wind down place.
• 20:58
  But the best part of it outside the restaurant, the second, you know,
• 21:03
  they had a separate section.
• 21:04
  It was all pinball machines.
• 21:07
  Hell yeah. Yeah. And I mean, they had a few electronic games, too, as well.
• 21:11
  But it was just I still to this day, I love pinball. and it was just packed
• 21:18
  with so many different machines, the bells, the sounds.
• 21:23
  They maybe had only one or two change machines, but the rest was people.
• 21:27
  And they had the big belts on with the chain, with the quarters that you used
• 21:32
  to hand the guy $10 and he pushed the buttons and it was a bell then whip out
• 21:36
  10 bucks worth of quarters, man.
• 21:37
  It was just cool. So I remember taking your mother up there.
• 21:42
  I said, oh yeah, Nathan, let's go get a hot dog, you
• 21:45
  know maybe play some pinball shut down
• 21:48
  closed down oh yeah devastating it was
• 21:51
  because the outside was still there the same color i
• 21:54
  remember that nathan's hot dog green and but the place was just closed down
• 21:58
  and i said that figures man yeah but i mentioned that because um i wanted to
• 22:04
  mention quick um we work you know while i listen to all the podcasts um i know
• 22:11
  we've mentioned them There's so many of them.
• 22:13
  I don't like to go through all of them, and it's a shame because there's some very good ones.
• 22:17
  But Swales, the friendly green witch who has the Bell Witch podcast,
• 22:23
  she was mentioned in the same thing, too.
• 22:27
  In Leeds, UK, where she's from, there is this marketplace, apparently,
• 22:32
  that does all this free counseling. Yeah.
• 22:36
  Counseling, especially for kids and all that. And I guess she utilized the services,
• 22:40
  you know, when she was a kid, when her mom had passed.
• 22:44
  And apparently helped her out. And she had one episode that I listened to,
• 22:48
  and it was just so emotional.
• 22:49
  And I said, that's the same thing I get, too, with, you know,
• 22:52
  these connections to these scattered memories.
• 22:55
  Yeah obviously you're going to remember you know remember or recall something like that.
• 23:00
  But they're in such deep need of financial
• 23:03
  support which is really you know shocking to me something like that should be
• 23:09
  there forever yeah but obviously all these things that really mean and really
• 23:14
  do something for society never stay you haven't noticed that which is so sad
• 23:20
  um Um, if you want to donate,
• 23:23
  because I think they have until the end of June before they run out of funding
• 23:26
  or something, and they're trying to raise, you know, enough money to keep them going.
• 23:30
  I would love for our audience not to give us a dime, but maybe try and support them.
• 23:35
  And I'm going to put all the, uh, links in the synopsis of the show,
• 23:39
  uh, where to donate and all that.
• 23:41
  But, um, if you find the bell, which podcast,
• 23:45
  and if you go to the marketplace that saved my life
• 23:47
  episode you could really get into it and
• 23:50
  of course swells definitely explains in detail what it means and all that yeah
• 23:56
  it's a very emotional show i'm not even doing really to push i mean i will push
• 23:59
  our podcast all day long but i think this is outside of podcasting outside of
• 24:03
  all the you know follows and likes this is important stuff because we do as
• 24:08
  kids we have places we used to go,
• 24:10
  memories are there and they go away and sometimes when they go away it's more
• 24:16
  hurtful than you know traumatic things are happening in life because a lot of
• 24:20
  these places had such great memories and they actually helped.
• 24:23
  And they did something for somebody. So it's very sad to see stuff like that go away.
• 24:28
  You know, just talking about that, you know, that brings me back to when we
• 24:32
  lived in the apartments.
• 24:34
  You remember my sister did homework help. I completely forgot about that. She did.
• 24:40
  And I remember going in there and, you know, sitting with Nick,
• 24:45
  my best friend that passed away, and his little sister Claire.
• 24:48
  Oh, my God. She loved Casey and my sister. And my sister, like she ran that
• 24:54
  she did so well, you know, and it's just like, that's just a small memory that
• 24:58
  I just now remembered, you know, that was kind of like in my archives, I guess.
• 25:01
  But, you know, that little place means so much. And I hope that people now like
• 25:06
  maybe someone continued with it.
• 25:08
  But if not, like, that's just something that I feel like should be available for kids.
• 25:11
  Right. Because that helped so much, you know? Yeah. And again,
• 25:15
  stuff like that, it sadly it goes away.
• 25:19
  I know we have a lot of that, but this whole marketplace in Leeds,
• 25:23
  it's just like I've never been in the UK, I don't know, but to have something
• 25:27
  like that, that's there.
• 25:29
  Yeah, because I don't know if maybe it's going away because it's like a non-profit
• 25:33
  and, you know, I don't know if England is suffering from inflation like we are
• 25:37
  over here in the US as well.
• 25:38
  And maybe the people who were doing it for free have to pick up more hours because of inflation.
• 25:44
  I don't know how it is over there, unfortunately, but I mean,
• 25:47
  if that is the, you know, reasoning,
• 25:51
  I hope that, you know, our listeners don't give us a dime, you know,
• 25:54
  check out the website, donate whatever you can, even if it's a dollar,
• 25:57
  a dollar makes it a long way. It does. A dollar a person.
• 26:00
  I love seeing like fundraisers for things important like that, like a dollar a person.
• 26:05
  And then you get like 5,000 people. There's $5,000 right there, you know?
• 26:10
  That would be great. That would be great. Right. Yeah. That's why I say I didn't,
• 26:14
  that's why I didn't go into our advertisers or anything, just,
• 26:17
  uh, anything you have just, you know, donate.
• 26:19
  And again, I'll put the links down in the synopsis and at the very least,
• 26:24
  listen to the bell, which podcast and listen to that episode.
• 26:28
  It's a quick little episode, but it's very emotional and she helps you get into,
• 26:33
  you know, she really gets into like what it is, you know, how it helped her.
• 26:37
  And it was very emotional yeah and it's a really good cause and it's something
• 26:41
  that like my heart i'm like oh my gosh yeah and i promise her i promote it as
• 26:45
  much as possible so yeah so these are the scattered memories that we have and
• 26:49
  the reasons we have them sometimes we don't know and we can spend a lifetime,
• 26:54
  trying to figure it out for them yeah and make those deciphers and signs and
• 26:59
  symbols it's something i'm trying to get into a little bit more and understand
• 27:02
  them and i don't like the quick answers.
• 27:05
  Like I said, I mentioned, yeah, there's books out there that say,
• 27:09
  you know, numbers have this meaning and this animal has that meaning,
• 27:11
  but a lot of times it has other meanings behind it, and you really need to,
• 27:18
  tune in those books are good because yeah they'll give you a you know guidance
• 27:23
  i guess yeah but sometimes they don't apply all the time depending on the individual
• 27:27
  i agree with that because you know something like what if i like open up a book
• 27:31
  and it's like oh you saw a turtle and that means.
• 27:34
  Something you know what i mean like yeah like money and wealth and yeah and
• 27:37
  i'm like where um you know so i kind of like when i said decipher like you decipher
• 27:43
  it for yourself decide what that means for you. Yeah, definitely.
• 27:46
  You got to look so deeply into every single thing and it may take a long time,
• 27:52
  but that's part of understanding ourselves.
• 27:54
  We can't get that quick fix. We can't just look in a book and say,
• 27:57
  oh, this here number means that this symbol means that it's significant to every single person. Yeah.
• 28:02
  And once you have that moment, that eureka moment, say, oh, that's what it means. Yeah.
• 28:07
  You start to open up and unravel yourself and what it
• 28:10
  is that's you know within you so yeah look
• 28:13
  into that and that's that again that was the whole purpose of
• 28:16
  this you know scattered memories it's it's all
• 28:20
  about that science and symbolicism that we need to sometimes look at within
• 28:25
  ourselves to figure out our own lives um wanted to give a quick shout out um
• 28:30
  because maybe the end of this month or maybe beginning of next month um empress Empress 333 Emporium,
• 28:38
  speaking of numbers and the angel numbers 333,
• 28:41
  but Empress 333 Emporium.
• 28:43
  If you find them on Facebook, I'll definitely have a link for that too, as well.
• 28:48
  Jennifer Jade, fantastic person, runs this beautiful shop.
• 28:52
  I'm getting into a lot of these metaphysical shops because they mean a lot to me.
• 28:57
  I like going in there and getting the feel and getting the vibes of them and
• 29:01
  finding out behind the scenes of the shop owners and how they started. in their stories.
• 29:07
  And I'm going to probably start doing that a little bit more as I tour around
• 29:10
  because I took a two and a half hour drive to go and see Jennifer Jade up there
• 29:16
  at Empress 333 Emporium.
• 29:18
  But I'm going to have her on the show so she can talk about it.
• 29:22
  And I know she's got some good insights and she talks a lot about this and spirit
• 29:26
  guides and tarot reading and all.
• 29:29
  I really want to help people in this metaphysical field because again,
• 29:33
  there's still Still a lot of this witch hunt going on.
• 29:36
  And if we just understand it for what it is, face value, maybe we could see
• 29:40
  a little bit beyond it and stop being so judgmental on some things.
• 29:44
  You know, so I wanted to give a quick shout out to her. I also want to give
• 29:47
  a quick shout out to Chris Artel from Twisted Tales podcast.
