  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society.
• 0:07
  Welcome back. My name is Gary Dean. And I just wanted to take this moment to
• 0:11
  say that us going to outer space is bullshit because we can't get Zoom to work
• 0:18
  right here on our own planet.
• 0:19
  And somehow we get video feed from other planets. It just doesn't seem to,
• 0:24
  you know, match up anymore.
• 0:27
  But anyway, welcome to the show. Welcome back I wanted to quickly just give
• 0:33
  a shout out Definitely to my good friends Carly and Carla From Appalachian Rootworks
• 0:38
  You could go on their website,
• 0:41
  Appalachianrootworks.com They're a full service metaphysical shop And I can't
• 0:45
  wait to get out there This June when I'll be giving my very first Live meditation
• 0:49
  classes with them And helping them out with their podcast Without a candle So
• 0:55
  Believe it or not Lizzie is here But we can't see her cute face because,
• 1:00
  again, we're having problems with bandwidth,
• 1:03
  which leads me to believe that we're just not going into space the way they say that we are.
• 1:08
  But anyway, Lizzie, I know you're there. How are you doing?
• 1:12
  Good, just having a grand old time here.
• 1:17
  In the shadows and I can't make out now any kind of body language.
• 1:20
  This is going to be a little difficult for me, but thank you for joining us anyway.
• 1:25
  Uh, the reason Lizzie and I are here, we have on our show, someone who's very special, uh, to us.
• 1:31
  Uh, she's been with us like for the last four years, quietly in the background.
• 1:37
  She's always there. And I always been appreciating everything she's done for us.
• 1:41
  And most of you know who she is because you listen to her pockets.
• 1:45
  And I know you do. Most of you listen to her podcast more than ours.
• 1:47
  And that's a good thing because she does. She has a wonderful podcast hosted
• 1:51
  right here on Eye Opener Society.
• 1:54
  Let's welcome Elaine from Arcane Oracle. Elaine, how are you doing?
• 2:00
  I'm doing well. Thank you so much, Gary. It's a pleasure to be here.
• 2:04
  Yeah, and we are very thankful to have you here. And the reason we have you
• 2:09
  on the show is because we just recently ordained Elaine as one of our ministers.
• 2:17
  And Elaine is going to be having some special stuff for us based on her teachings, her practices.
• 2:25
  And since Elaine's been there with us the whole time, I mean,
• 2:28
  I think she knows more about eye-opening society than Lizzie and I do at this point.
• 2:33
  So Elaine, what do you think you have for us today?
• 2:37
  Oh, I'm sure I don't know more than our hosts do. And thank you so much,
• 2:41
  both you, Gary and Lizzie.
• 2:43
  It's such a pleasure to be here. It's such an honor to be ordained by the EyeOpener Society.
• 2:48
  I am truly grateful and I'm excited to work with you.
• 2:50
  But as usual, I will have my astrology,
• 2:54
  tarot, and other esoteric subject podcasts and also other subjects as they come
• 3:00
  up, such as why you should start your own spiritual practice,
• 3:05
  that is, your own unique individual spiritual practice, and what benefits are
• 3:10
  in store if you do begin a spiritual practice.
• 3:14
  I like that I like that a lot I'm actually looking forward to a lot of Your teachings,
• 3:21
  Whatever it is you give us We're waiting for
• 3:24
  it Because we're like in full force Lizzie I know we've been sitting We're probably
• 3:31
  getting tired I think You know with everything that we've been doing But we're
• 3:35
  moving forward And things are coming together so beautifully And now that we
• 3:40
  have Elaine here I think we should dump all of,
• 3:43
  everything on a lane now and just like put her in charge this way we don't gotta do anything anymore.
• 3:50
  Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea. I think you're much better suited
• 3:54
  to leadership, Gary, you and Lizzie both.
• 3:58
  And she's like, wait, wait, wait, I agreed to join the church now to do all the work here.
• 4:04
  Yeah, but it's great. It's just nice to have because everyone is going to know
• 4:10
  about Lizzie's teachings.
• 4:13
  Everybody's going to know about my teachings and, you know, the voices are the
• 4:17
  same all the time. But it's just nice.
• 4:20
  And Elaine, I always appreciated, you know, your show.
• 4:25
  I look forward to your horoscopes, your tarot readings.
• 4:29
  I literally kind of base my life on it. And so when you don't get a chance to
• 4:34
  have a show out, I'm kind of lost.
• 4:36
  I'm like, oh man, what's going to happen this month now? I don't know what's going on.
• 4:40
  You have some very Even for just your general readings They're extremely in-depth
• 4:47
  Everything you usually say Comes true in some sense And I know you have a lot of followers And.
• 4:58
  It's To me I think What's going to happen If you're going to apply that To the ministry,
• 5:05
  That's going to be very interesting because I never figured out really how,
• 5:10
  like, if I would do it, how I would blend a tarot or a horoscope into this here church.
• 5:16
  But I know if anybody could do it, it's going to be you.
• 5:20
  I agree. I think she's going to do an excellent job. And something I'm so excited
• 5:24
  about the community that we're building is that each person does kind of have
• 5:29
  their own little style, their own flavor.
• 5:31
  And I think that that's just so important for humanity right now for everybody
• 5:35
  to just play in whatever it is they're playing in.
• 5:38
  And if we can do it out loud and share it with each other, I think we'll all
• 5:41
  just grow and be a lot happier.
• 5:46
  Yes, absolutely. I agree. That's a beautiful message.
• 5:51
  So, Elaine, I know I asked you, and I'm not sure exactly how we're going to
• 5:59
  work this out, but we're going to start our Thursday sermons,
• 6:02
  Lizzie and I, and you're always welcome to jump in on them too as well, if you like.
• 6:07
  But you're going to probably give us some good recordings and how do we as people,
• 6:15
  how do we follow like the tarot and the, you know, your gift?
• 6:20
  Could you give us a little bit of insight at how you're going to do this?
• 6:26
  Well, that's a great question. Do you mean on an individual basis or on like a sermon sort of level?
• 6:33
  Both. Yeah, definitely both. Okay. Well, I'm absolutely always available for
• 6:39
  one-on-one consultation, and anyone that's interested can reach me on my website.
• 6:44
  That's easily available here at EyeOpener Society.
• 6:48
  And as far as collective sermons or presentations,
• 6:52
  they can be guided by topic of what's of interest, what's suggested or recommended
• 6:57
  by the followers, I guess you would say, or by hosts, Gary and Lizzie.
• 7:04
  And I can also continue as well with the podcast and tarot readings by month.
• 7:14
  I like that because, like I said, I can't get by without your tarot readings.
• 7:18
  I'm kind of looking forward to that.
• 7:21
  All you need to do is ask. Oh, definitely. I'm going to ask.
• 7:25
  I'm going to ask right now. I'm a little bit behind.
• 7:32
  I know I've worked with you two before with some of your tarot.
• 7:38
  Like I said, your general readings that I just saw on your podcast are very
• 7:42
  insightful. But when people do sit down with you and it's more than just you
• 7:48
  offer more than just tarot and horoscope, correct?
• 7:53
  Well, that is my main focus. Those
• 7:56
  are the main tools that I use to do my readings in my spiritual work.
• 8:00
  I mean, I guess you could say I'm also a clairsentient and clairaudient,
• 8:04
  but I suppose I really prefer to use my tools, the stars and my tarot cards.
• 8:12
  That's great Because again, we all have something You know, each and every one
• 8:16
  of us And I think this is what's going to build Into something for the church
• 8:21
  And everybody that's joining us Is to recognize your own Gifts as well,
• 8:28
  And I'm Again, I do apologize for this Your whole episode just because The whole
• 8:33
  Zoom bandwidth thing And I can't see Lizzie,
• 8:36
  It's driving me nuts on this one But I know you're behind in the background
• 8:41
  there lizzie um so go ahead and jump in there whatever you got oh yeah sorry
• 8:45
  it was just lagging just a little bit so i was just trying to keep up with what you guys were saying,
• 8:52
  um you mentioned elaine that you
• 8:55
  really like to use your tools i do love tools as well and the work that i do
• 9:01
  do you find that you're a very structured person in what you do like do you
• 9:07
  have like a lot of rituals that
• 9:08
  you do or do you uh kind of flow with it like one time to the next more.
• 9:16
  I would say a bit of all of the above. Yes, I'm structured, you know,
• 9:20
  at this point in my life, entering into the fourth decade.
• 9:24
  I'm pretty set in my ways and I have my rituals and my routines.
• 9:27
  However, there's also a flow to it. It's not necessarily an every hour on the
• 9:31
  hour, although I would love to have the type of lifestyle where I could be that devoted.
• 9:37
  But there is a regular routine that, you know, kind of flows with the moon cycles
• 9:45
  and with the seasons, of course.
• 9:47
  And, you know, there's my day-to-day practice, and a lot of them are very simple and easy.
• 9:52
  But to me, that's a lot of what spiritual practice is. It's a lot of dedicated, simple devotions.
• 10:00
  That's beautiful. That's beautiful. I think that's, I mean, no way is the best
• 10:05
  way because every way is unique, but I feel like that's probably the best way.
• 10:09
  I'm always trying to put more structure into my thing because I kind of just
• 10:13
  float all over the place.
• 10:15
  And so that'll be fun to read that aspect in what you're doing,
• 10:19
  because I could always use more of that in my inspiration for things.
• 10:25
  Absolutely. And I believe every spiritual journey is unique to the seeker.
• 10:30
  So, you know, sometimes it's good to have a structure and a routine,
• 10:34
  and sometimes it's good to flow with your intuition, too.
• 10:37
  Yeah, for sure. Do you find that your, like, kind of your system that you go
• 10:43
  with right now, have you been doing that, like, same system for a long time?
• 10:48
  Yes. Like, I know you've been doing this for a while, but you just kind of,
• 10:52
  like, it's like building, right? Right.
• 10:54
  Yes. Yes. I mean, we at least I believe it's important to always learn,
• 10:59
  grow and change as you go.
• 11:02
  So I'm sure that my routines have changed somewhat. But at this point, they're pretty steady.
• 11:06
  I've been doing, you know, I've had my personal altar. I've had my devotions
• 11:11
  and my prayers and meditation system down pat for quite a few years now.
• 11:17
  I don't even know how many.
• 11:18
  Probably over a decade at this point. So nice finding what works for you.
• 11:24
  That's always so important and so unique to each person. So I always just like
• 11:27
  love finding out what other people are doing for themselves. Absolutely.
• 11:33
  And on a personal note, too, especially for anyone who, you know,
• 11:38
  reaches out to us, whether it be myself, whether it be Lizzie,
• 11:42
  whether it be Elaine, I sat and we were just talking about this before we got on.
• 11:49
  Lizzie's co-founder and I haven't even met her in person yet.
• 11:52
  And I find this so wild, but I actually met Elaine in person.
• 11:59
  And the one thing I can say, I sat with, I don't even know how many hours it was,
• 12:05
  but we closed down one of the places we were in, but we had such deep conversations
• 12:13
  and those conversations just kept flowing.
• 12:17
  And once you get involved in a conversation with Elaine, it keeps getting deeper
• 12:23
  and deeper and her knowledge gets wider and wider.
• 12:27
  And I appreciated that so much because after I met her and I walked away,
• 12:33
  I said, that was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.
• 12:37
  Because like I said, Elaine, you've always been there in the background.
• 12:40
  But, you know, when I'm actually in person and I could feel that connection
• 12:45
  that you and I had, I'm hoping other people, too, if they needed to reach out,
• 12:49
  they could get that same type of connection.
• 12:53
  Thank you so much, Gary. That is such a beautiful thing to hear,
• 12:57
  and it means the world to me coming from you.
• 12:59
  And yes, that is also my hope. I hope that I've done readings for thousands
• 13:04
  of clients over the years at this point.
• 13:07
  I've been studying and practicing tarot and astrology for over 20 years,
• 13:11
  and it is always my hope that I have that connection, or some good connection,
• 13:18
  with every person who comes to me for guidance.
• 13:21
  I truly believe that every one of us is a spark of God's fire.
• 13:26
  So above all, I hope that I help anyone who comes to me to reconnect with that
• 13:30
  divinity within themselves, and I hope that for you as well,
• 13:33
  Gary, and you too, Lizzie.
• 13:35
  And that was a beautiful message thank you.
• 13:39
  Yeah if um we ever get a chance to
• 13:42
  all get together i mean it'll be you know you know in person and stay with all
• 13:46
  the zoom bandwidth stuff but we're we're three really powerful people and we
• 13:52
  just steal all the bandwidth i think that's what it is especially lizzie lizzie
• 13:56
  always got all that energy and she always steals the bandwidth and,
• 14:00
  But I appreciate that You know, we do We're all individual people We all have
• 14:05
  our own modalities We all have our own way of connecting with each other,
• 14:09
  And when we all come together With a general purpose And for a good cause I
• 14:16
  really think we're going to be able to reach So many people And in such fantastic ways And I know,
• 14:23
  Elaine is going to bring that And I already know Lizzie brings that And I just
• 14:28
  can't wait till people actually start to connect and start to feel what we bring.
• 14:37
  Yes, I hope so, too. Blessed be. Blessed be for sure.
• 14:43
  And Lizzie is actually providing me with some of her teachings.
• 14:47
  And I know it was taking a while and we got them up on the website.
• 14:51
  And again, everything I just I totally forgot because I just looked at the email
• 14:56
  and Lizzie's got some more stuff that I got to get up on the website,
• 14:59
  too, as well. If anybody has a chance, I'm going to have the link because I
• 15:03
  can't remember the full link.
• 15:04
  It's a Wix website, but I'm going to put the link in there.
• 15:08
  Please follow that website because there's always going to be at least some blogs going on there.
• 15:13
  And Lizzie has some amazing stuff, too, as well as teachings.
• 15:17
  And all of Elaine's information is up and on that website, too, as well.
• 15:21
  We're on Facebook. We are on TikTok. We are on YouTube.
• 15:25
  We're trying to get out there as much as we can So we can connect with people
• 15:29
  And I've had some experiences already Connecting with some people And I'm excited
• 15:34
  about this I'm excited to bring Elaine aboard I'm excited to see what she's
• 15:38
  got coming forward And Lizzie and I I mean,
• 15:42
  we're ready We're ready to start, you know, doing this But again,
• 15:45
  as Lizzie's been teaching me And I've been teaching her Now we have somebody
• 15:50
  else We have Elaine who's going to wind up teaching us some things too as well.
• 15:55
  Yeah i was so i'm so excited and i was
• 15:58
  so excited to see anything that you put up i think you already put
• 16:01
  up a blog post correct um yeah
• 16:05
  i put up the most recent blog um but i mean elaine too if you ever wanted to
• 16:11
  put something up blog wise you send it to me and we'll get it up there too so
• 16:16
  this way at least we got something going with the website um that's going to
• 16:20
  be slow to build Cause that's something else too.
• 16:22
  Websites, I don't think are even relevant that much anymore.
• 16:27
  I, you know, I, it's, I, I, I put stuff up there and it's just like,
• 16:32
  I wonder how many people are actually viewing this.
• 16:34
  And then you see it's, it's small, but it takes a while. It's going to get up there. It will.
• 16:41
  Yeah, the website's kind of like a full-time job between formatting it,
• 16:45
  putting things out there, advertising it.
• 16:49
  The church is like 12 full-time jobs.
• 16:52
  I see that, Gary. You're doing such a good job. Thank you. Thank you so much.
• 16:58
  I was going to say I have faith in you, Gary.
• 17:01
  Thank you. Thank you. It's one thing. I know probably Lizzie. I know her well enough.
• 17:09
  I try not to push her too much Because I know she has that.
• 17:13
  Spirituality about her Where it's like rest Just rest And I learn from her Because
• 17:19
  I'm always on top of things One,
• 17:20
  I enjoy this I enjoy doing this But I've been putting together so much stuff
• 17:24
  And I'm always on top of things And then when Lizzie talks to her I'm like, you know,
• 17:28
  Lizzie's probably right Maybe I need to slow down a little bit So that's why
• 17:32
  it's nice to have a third party now here So like I said,
• 17:35
  Elaine If you've got stuff you wanted to write and put on That's even better
• 17:38
  Then it's You know It saves us a little bit And we get some more insight From
• 17:42
  other people And I'm hoping too That Lizzie You bring a couple people On board Soon as well But,
• 17:50
  In the meantime, we are looking forward to you, Elaine, and we thank you so
• 17:54
  very much for coming on here real quick.
• 17:56
  I know we all got, and again, I do apologize. This is probably one of the weaker
• 18:00
  episodes, and it's only because I'm confused.
• 18:03
  Usually I'm used to seeing people, and I'm used to seeing Lizzie's face,
• 18:07
  so I see what's going on, and it's just one of those things.
• 18:11
  You know, what are we going to do?
• 18:12
  Like I said, we haven't been to space. This is proof right here.
• 18:16
  Is there anything else you want to let everybody know, Elaine?
• 18:20
  No, no, I don't think I have anything new to announce.
• 18:23
  It's the end of the school year season, so my world is crazy at work,
• 18:28
  but I will be getting to work soon on, of course,
• 18:32
  the monthly astrology and tarot readings for May that's coming up,
• 18:37
  and also that podcast on starting one's own spiritual practice.
• 18:41
  I've been working on that as well.
• 18:43
  But overall, I'm just so grateful to be on board with you guys and so honored
• 18:48
  to be extended this opportunity. And it's just so great to work with both of you.
• 18:53
  It's always great to see you, Elaine. Lizzie, did you want to add anything in
• 18:57
  there or ask Elaine anything while we have her?
• 19:00
  I'm just really excited to get to know you more. That's all.
• 19:03
  I hope you come on the show again here soon or we get to chat off air sometime
• 19:07
  because I just think you just seem like such a beautiful soul.
• 19:11
  Oh, gosh. Thank you so much, Lizzie. I really appreciate that.
• 19:16
  Likewise, you are also a beautiful soul and I hope we do connect more in the
• 19:20
  future. And of course, you know, text me or email me anytime. I'd love to connect.
• 19:26
  Yeah, for sure. That will be super fun. I'm going to have to do that.
• 19:29
  Gary, don't let me forget to get a phone number as I float off into my own thing.
• 19:33
  I'll definitely get it to you, buddy. No problem. So everybody,
• 19:37
  thank you again. And again, stay in touch.
• 19:40
  Stay in touch on Thursdays. If you haven't followed it, I pretty much got it out everywhere.
• 19:46
  And it's definitely on the website.
• 19:49
  These Zoom meetings And this is kind of getting me worried now Because we're
• 19:53
  going to be doing the sermons on Zoom,
• 19:55
  Everybody is welcome to join So I'm just hoping the bandwidth works for all
• 19:59
  of us But there is a link on the website And the link for the website Is going
• 20:04
  to be in the synopsis of this I'll make sure Elaine's website Is in the synopsis as well,
• 20:10
  And start joining us on Thursdays And if you can't join us,
• 20:14
  Because again We're one church We don't require you to show up like most churches
• 20:20
  do You can always pick up the recording Because we'll be recording every episode
• 20:23
  But again, Elaine, thank you Lizzie, thank you And we'll see everybody really soon.
