Episode 226: Do Planetary Alignments REALLY Mean Anything? Astrology!

happen again for one hundred and fifty thousand years. Well, is that really something special or how should we view that? Of course, I'm talking about a topic that really ties into astrology in general. And you know, obviously on a show like this, I talk about astrology from time to time, and so this is going to be, I think, a very good way of digging into some basic science regarding how we should view these celestial events. First off, I

want to tell you that I'm pretty worn out. My studio has been undergoing some construction, which is a very good thing. Things are being updated, upgraded, modified, New appliances are being put in. I mean, it's really wonderful, but it also is quite disruptive when it comes to whatever semblance of a schedule that I have. So if I sound a little a little tired, you'll know why I been. I've had workmen all over the place for the past couple of days. And another thing before I dig straight

into the main topic. Okay, two other things that I that I want to mention right here at the top of the show. Sometimes when I do this program, I have so much stuff that I'm trying to squeeze into an hour. And you know this is a one man band. Here, I will say at a point in the show, oh, here's an interesting topic. I'll get back to that later, and then it turns out that I either run out of time or frankly, I just forget about it because I just go rushing on to some other context. So

let me follow up really quick. I want to circle back around to something that I talked about on a recent podcast. I did one of these shows, and I was telling you about energy vampires psychic vampires, and I mentioned that in addition to some people having a natural ability to sort of almost involuntarily function as an energy vampire, there are some little tricks and techniques that you can use to play with the energy vampire motif that may

be sometimes advan. So what I mean is, and I've talked about this before, but I'll just briefly repeat this, Okay. For example, one time I was in a bar with my wife, Lauren, and Lauren is very sensitive to people who get too loud and rowdy, especially if they have high pitched, shrill voices, and that happens a lot. You'll go to a bar somebody's had too much to drink. I live in Las Vegas. Somebody's had too much to drink, and especially you know, well, let me just put it

this way. We were in a bar. There was this woman across the bar who'd had too much to drink, and she had a very shrill voice, and she was being very exuberant. And I am very good at just tuning stuff like that out, but Lauren is not. And at a certain point, Lauren looks at me and she goes, Josh, I'm gonna pull my hair out. I'm gonna go you know. She goes, use the force and get that woman out of here. I was like, ah, really, so I did it. And here's the technique that I use to drive somebody

away under those circumstances. And it's related to the energy vampire thing, because you want to remove that person's energy, but you also want to sort of push that person away so that the person doesn't feel like they even want to be there anymore. And one of the simplest techniques is to pick your target. Stare at the person's

third eye, in other words, stare at their forehead. Do not ever look the person in the eye, however, because if the person glances your way, and this often happens because they can kind of feel something's going on if they look at your way. If they look in your direction,

look away. And the reason I say that is you're trying to be sneaky here, and if you lock eyes with a stranger, then the stranger suddenly starts to feel defensive and you can now actually sort of energize them in a way, which is the opposite of what you want to do. And you also you just don't want them to realize that you're focusing on them, So look at their third eye and as you do that, just

think over and over in your head. Leave, Leave, Leave, Leave, Or you can get a little stronger, which I often do, like get the blank out of here, Get the blank out of here, and you just keep projecting that right to the person's third eye, well, always avoiding eye contact, and if you're good at this, that person will start to slowly quiet down and calm down, and then you can just see them almost like crumple and get drained, and then they just feel like if I don't want

to be here anymore, And usually in short order they are either calm enough that you're cool with him being there, or they just leave. Now this is perhaps a little bit more sinister, but because I am in Las Vegas, there are times where and I don't do this on a regular basis. I only did this a few times. As an experiment, if I am in a casino and somebody's winning a lot of money and I am having a down day and I'm not winning so much, then I can also try to take that person's luck. And

it's the very same kind of technique. You focus on that person and you just envision yourself being like a big siphon. Did you ever see the movie There Will Be Blood where Daniel day Lewis says, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and my straw is this long I drink your milkshakes, that's what you want to drink their milkshake. And so you do that by envisioning their luck. You know, you're almost inhaling it into your body, and then surprisingly often they will start

to lose and you will start to win. Now, look, is there something morally a wrong with that? Perhaps I'm not sure. I'm on, I don't. I don't do it other than the again, I've done it for experiments, but because I'm happy for people when they're winning, I don't want to take their luck away. But I'm just telling you, like, if you need that in your toolbox, there you go.

Another thing that I want to address following up is you know, recently I did a show here and I interviewed a man that I called George, who was warning me not to create a portal opening device on my land in Rachel, Nevada, next to Area fifty one. And this is something that I have been planning on doing for a couple of years, and this year I think might finally be be the year when I've got the prototype getting pretty close to where I need it to be.

And first off, okay, well there, I do have feedback for you because he gave me a I guess I gave him a test, is how I should say it? Because he said that these beings he called the benefactors were telling him to relate to me that they were not happy with what I was planning to do. And I told him, well, how do I know that I should believe you? And at one point I said, okay,

I'm thinking of a word. Now you ask them what that word is, and if you tell me the word, then you know that's going to that's gonna make a big impact on me. Well, I'm going to let you know what happened when we did that. But first off, there have been at least a couple of people who are kind of new to the show who have emailed me and said, why do you want to open up a portal? Like, what is this about? Exactly? What are

you trying to achieve? Well, I'm creating a machine that I'm going to take out to this place, which I believe is already a natural portal because people have been reporting paranormal encounters there going back thousands of years to the earliest Native America. There's all kinds of weird Petrick lifts. Obviously, I think Area fifty one is there for a reason, and so I think it's already a natural portal, a

place where interdimensional phenomena manifests more easily. And I'm just trying to nudge a little bit to sort of make it happen on demand so I can study it. And people say, well, what do you mean exactly? Well, I think when I turn this machine on, it's possible that I will see some UFOs or UAP Very shortly thereafter, I think I may see some spiritual energy like ghosts may appear. And again the question why do you want

to do that? Well, you know, when I was a kid, I checked out this book from the library about how to do magic tricks and entertain your friends, and I fell in love with it and I started producing magic tricks. There are some people like my wife Lauren, who likes to go to a magic show and she doesn't want to know how the tricks work. She's happy to say it back, watch what happens on stage and be entertained. I, on the other hand, I like to know what's happening

behind the scenes because I'm curious. I guess if you were into cars, it's like wanting to open up the hood to see what's under there. How does it work behind the scenes. And I'm also I don't think anything bad is going to happen because I've got fail safes in here. But also, you know, I am a gambler, so you got to take some risks in life. Okay,

we're up on our first break. When we come back, I'm going to tell you about this test that I gave George and whether or not the benefactors you know what. I'm going to tell you what they gave me, all right, and then we will get into the main topic. Do planetary alignments really mean anything? Now? Of course I talk about a lot on the show, but there's a bunch of stuff that I just either don't talk about or don't get around to. So here's your best bet to

It's the only place in the world where you will find most of it. I am Joshua P. Warren, and you're listening to Strange Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the

iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Senn City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every night is silver. Giatatos Zube. I think it was Einstein who's said something like, if we knew what we were doing, we wouldn't call it research. And I guess that's pot that may not be the most comforting thing to hear from a mad scientist like me. And I use the

word scientists with exclamation points, excuse me, quotation marks. I told you I was tired, but I don't have a degree in science. My team and I did make the cover of a science journal. I'm very proud of that, but I don't know. I use the scientific method to the best of my ability. A lot of people don't even know what the heck the scientific method even is.

And look, I think that if I open a portal, I might see something interesting that will give me a glimpse into what's happening behind the scenes in this world. And is there potential for it to be negative? Of course, but that's why I'm designing this portal opening machine so that I can just very gradually crank it up and then I can immediately kill it if I need to, if I'm not happy with what I'm seeing. But what

if something wonderful happens? What if something enlightening happens. What if I tap into free energy and the rest of your life you don't have an electric bill? That would be cool. Huh. So I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I'm willing to play with this because look, the chances that my portal and it has a name, I'm just keeping that a secret for now. The chance the chances that my portal opening machine is going to

work is they're very slim. Okay, the odds are slim to none, because this would be something historic, and there are a lot of moving parts, and there are a lot of things that have to sync up just the right way. So it's probably not going to do anything. It's probably going to be a good fun night out in the desert. But if it does work, if I produce some kind of an effect, then uh, look, I'm gonna be honest with you, and I'm going to tell

you one way or the other, how it goes. But you know, I do everything with positive intentions, so George. He said to me in the interview I did with him, that these benefactors were saying, oh, mister Warren, don't build this machine. But you know, I've been working I've been thinking about a machine like this for decades. I've been working on it, like personally building it with my own two hands, for about two years, a little over two years now. I've put a lot of money into it.

I'm taking everything that I've learned as an experimenter about physics and metaphysics and psionics and psychotronics and radionics and psychology and magic and all these things, and I'm combining them to this singular system. It has organic and inorganic parts. And I'm sure that my very tolerant wife Lauren will be delighted when this experiment is over and she does not have some of the perhaps more aesthetically unappealing things in the living room, because sometimes I'm kind of like

I'm at the dining room table working on things. So George said, and again, this is a man in California, and I'm not talking about George Nori. The only reason I'm calling this man George is because he said he wanted me to call him George. So this man named George said, look, the benefactors, these aliens don't want you to do this. And I said, well, prove to me they're talking to you if they're all knowing or whatever. So he said, well, I don't know who came up

with the idea. It's been a while now, but I said that I'm thinking of a word. And I actually as soon as I thought of that word, I wrote it down as well. And then after that he goes write it down, I was like, I did write it down. And I'm kind of used to this sort of thing because throughout my life I have sort of played this

game with people who are about to die. I have known a number of people who knew they were going to die or either because just of their age or for example, one lady had cancer, she was in hospice, and I made an arrangement where I said, Okay, let me give you a secret word, and then you try to communicate that word to me after you're dead. And you know, Houdini did something similar with his wife apparently, and that has only worked kind of sort of one time.

And I say, kind of sort of, because the lady I told you about who died of cancer, her name was Eta and she had pancreatic cancer. She was a great friend of mine in Puerto Rico, and I gave her a word to communicate to me, and I didn't see it pop up in my life. And then one night I was sitting outside our house with Lauren and I told her. I said I gave Ida a word,

and Lauren goes, was it blank? And she said the word and I was like, yes, yes, actually, so either Lauren just knew Eda well enough to imagine what this word could be, or Lauren was like the channel the medium who passed that along to me. Because Lauren said it just popped into her head and that was that was the correct word. So I wrote this word down and then he emailed me afterword and he said, dear mister Warren, here's what you wrote on the piece of paper. Nothing.

And then I wrote him back and I said, no, I actually wrote a word immediately. Then he replied and he said, thank you for being a wise and dear friend exposing the huckster's attempt to defraud you through me. They or him, et cetera could not pass a simple test proving their information is not worth a duck fart. I will not bother you again to try to stop you from building or making or operating your apparatus. However, I encourage you to build it, and those who don't

can kiss off or go to blazes. Thank you again for exposing this fraudulent attempt to dissuade you from building your invention. I also ask you to delete yesterday's podcast, as I don't want to give credence to the huckster's information. Sincerely yours. Well, of course I wasn't going to delete the conversation. I wanted, for one thing, this is a job I do this professionally, and that it takes time

for me to do an interview. And I also thought it was fascinating that you guys got to all hear that. And I have gotten so many messages from that podcast, and almost everybody has said, go for it, do the experiment. I've only had I think two people say yeah, I don't think you should do this. Everybody, I'm probably like hundreds of messages everybody else is like, do it, go

for it. So even he turned around and said, oh, well, you know what this must they must be defrauding me because I didn't get the word and he didn't get the word. But then another little switch throo. He emailed me yesterday and he was thanking me for having him on the show, and he but then he said, last night, as I laid down on my bed, I started to have fiery pain in my legs. I got up and tried to attempt to walk it off, but I became frozen, stopped motionless in my tracks. And then I heard the

words erminate him. Then I heard the words we are not mocked his parlor game where trick does not amuse us. We do not answer to cattle. He says. I think your word test set them off big time. I think suspect they are going to give you a little test of their own, like job got. That is probably why they told me to send you the word nothing, because what you wrote on that piece of paper meant nothing

but them. So please, mister Warren, be careful what you do, think and say, because if they are angry with you, they are poised to end your existence. I'm sorry to be a bearer of such bad news. Please forgive me, But I heard what I heard, so I pass it on to you so you can be prepared for what may be coming. Wow, that's nice pulllminate him, thumminate him. That's not a very good Schwartzenegger, but you get the idea. Look, I don't know. I here's here's the deal. I've been.

You see how carefully I've treated this subject. Again, I've gotten hundreds of messages. One lady wrote me, and she says, I have never emailed a podcast host before, but listening to this inspired me to email you. And again, almost I mean everybody said go for it. Ninety nine percent said go for it, So like I'm going to do it, I am. I am at least going to do a test run with a prototype. I've made up my mind. Unless something you know, gigantic happens that's going to change that,

I'm going to do it. I even got an email from a guy who said, I will pay you ten thousand dollars if you'll let me be there with you in the desert when you fire up this machine. And I said, well, that's very generous of you, and I appreciate it, but I need to stay focused on this and I don't know what's going to happen. And I hate ted you like use this as like a tour. He says, I'll pay you twenty thousand dollars. I said, well, again, it's not about the money. He said, I'll pay you

thirty thousand dollars. And I said, look, the thing is this, This is not like a gimmick where I'm trying to sell it to He goes, I'll pay you forty thousand dollars. I said, seriously, a lot of good could be done with that forty thousand dollars. But what if something does go wrong? And he says, okay, fifty thousand. Now I'm thinking, well, I don't know. Maybe uh yeah, maybe I could buy something, you know, I could I could do some very charitable

things with fifty grands. So who knows. Yeah, you see my scruples, don't you. Uh? Okay, I swear. When we come back from this break, we're finally going to get to the topic at hand. Do planetary alignments really mean anything? And what does it tell us about astrology in general? Controversial topic, Very interesting. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM paranormal podcast Network, and I'll be back after these

important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things Well on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast and Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua pe Warren, and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. If you want to hear a really good story about me buying and visiting my land near Area fifty one for the first time and the plans for the portal and all the weird things that happened on that initial visit, go back and listen to episode ninety two of this podcast called Strange

Things Joshua explores his Area fifty one land. That's what it's called, episode ninety two. And just remember you can find this show all over the place. But if you want some convenient links to different platforms and a list of show descriptions, just go to Strange thingsshow dot com and that information will be right there for you. Okay, the main topic at hand here, do planetary alignments really

mean anything? This is something that we all hear and just recently someone brought this topic up to me and I was saying, actually, a planetary alignment is really not that big of a deal, and the person who brought this up to me said what, yes, it is and started telling me, telling me why that this is supposed to be so special, because sometimes you hear like, oh, these these planets have not been aligned for one hundred and fifty thousand years or whatever. Well, look here, it

is in a nutshell for you. I am not an astrophysicist, but there are plenty of them out there. And the astrophysicists say that if you look at our solar system, uh, I guess the okay, if you if you look at our solar system, it appears that this was a gas cloud at one point that was eventually squashed into a pancake or something like a disk or a saucier. And so if you look out, then you see that everything

around us here is orbiting in the same direction. So for example, you have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. So everything is it's sort of like a disc and everything is in a line all the time. The exception is Pluto. Pluto does not line up with all the other places, which is why that most astrophysicists and astronomers do not consider Pluto to be a bonafide planet in our Solar system, you know, a dwarf planet or planet to loiter. You hear these kinds of terms

thrown around, But Pluto doesn't act like everything else. Everything else is sort of lined up here very clearly. And of course, one of the leading scientists that you see on TV these days, I've mentioned him from time to time is Neil de grass Tyson, astrophysicist. He studied at Harvard, And just looking over his his resume, I mean he's been the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City since

nineteen ninety six. I see it's part of the American Museum of Natural History, where he founded that apartment of astrophysics in nineteen ninety seven. So this guy knows what he's talking about when it comes to the planets. And I was watching him do a video one time about this, and he said that if you consider that everything in our Solar system here is like a like a pancake, and everything's orbiting on the same plane in the same direction, he said, quote, all of these objects on any given

night are always in line. Period. We are in the plane of the solar system, and we are looking out and seeing other objects in the plane of the Solar system. And if you take a circle and put it on its side, it's a line end quote. So if you say that there is a planetary alignment that doesn't happen again for one hundred and fifty thousand years, well that happens every single night. So it's a news story that

happens every single night. The media tries to bump it up sometimes because, as he said, quote, if some planets are a little closer to us than at other months in our sight line, you don't have to turn your head along the line to see them. You might catch them in one glimpse. Okay, fine, but the planets are always aligned, period. They're always technically from the point of

view of Earth, they're always aligned. So again to say like a lineup's not going to happen for another one hundred and fifty thousand years, well that's okay, But every night will not happen for another one hundred and fifty thousand years, he says, quote, it's possible for something to be rare and completely uninteresting because every night is equally

as rare. In quote. Now, there are these times when there is what's called a conjunction, and that is an event when at least three celestial objects appear close enough in the same part of the sky where you can look through binoculars and see them all at once. So those are cool to look up and see. But I know when you look up at the sky, you see all kinds of uh, you see all kinds of lights because you're looking at stars there god knows how far away.

And yeah, it's it's a big chaotic pattern. But if you're talking about planetary alignments, it's it's it should not be as big of a deal as you think it is just at face value. Now, having said that, I also am a person who does believe that there is something to astrology. Uh. And let me let me place this into context, and I'll tell you why that I'm not being hypocritical here and I'm not contradicting myself. I don't think. Years ago, Lauren and I had a wonderful

We went to the loll Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Percival Lowell. He was an astronomer who was especially obsessed with Mars, and he believed that there were canals on Mars and he I think he believed that there was probably life, there had been life there. But one thing that's really cool about the Lowell Observatory is that that is where an astronomer discovered Pluto. His name was Clyde Tombaugh, and in nineteen thirty he discovered Pluto at the Lowell Observatory.

So when we went there one evening, it was really cool. We got to look through the same I guess telescope similar, if not the same where he discovered Pluto. And that evening they gave us a presentation and an astronomer there he stood up and he said, look, astrology is bunck. And I was like, oh, this is interesting, Like, we came here to learn about the planets. Why is this

guy so caught up with a like debunking astrology. Maybe he knew I was in the audience or something, but he said, you know, basically, here's his argument was, hundreds or thousands of years ago, when astrological belief systems were developed, the planets and stars were in totally different positions. So how could any system based on the sky back then be applied to the sky today? And he was just saying,

this is confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is a tendency that we all have to search for, interpret, favor, recall information that confirms or supports your beliefs while ignoring those that do not. And I deal with this all the time in the paranormal world. And I appreciate what he's saying there, But here's the problem. He is looking at astrology as being that as ancient people coming up with a system with a sky that's different than today. I'm not looking

at astrology that way. Maybe with astrology we're not being compared to the sky back then. Maybe we today are developing in sync with the planets and the stars, and just as they change in morph, we change in morph with them, and so the scale slides and the overall system changes. But the relationship between us at any given moment and them at any given moment is all that matters. Why Because as above so below, that's hermeticism. We are all connected. I mean, just google does the moon's gravity

affect the tides? Of course it does. The moon's gravity affects the ocean. Tide's same as today as it did one thousand years ago. Now sure compared to one thousand years ago. We are all in a different position in space time. We're in a different position in space time and the moon is in a different position in space time, but that influence between the two has not changed. We are in some kind of sink, and your body is

mainly water and empty space. Don't forget that. So we are all connected, and your body, I believe, can be affected by celestial bodies and perhaps the same kind of

way that the Moon affects the tides. So that's why, in part that I believe there is some truth to astrology and numerology, since everything can be represented with numbers, and I think today's scientists are either too limited in their means to test it, or they're too intimidated to risk their jobs and quickly fading reputations by challenging the the current scientific status quo, which by the way, will be entirely different in one hundred years, since the true

pioneering scientists who take risks are the ones who actually push us forward. Okay, time for a break. When we come back, I am going to tell you a little bit more about my final thoughts on this. Also, I think I'm going to have time to squeeze in a very weird synchronicity story and also a creepy a creepy email I got from a listener. I'm josh Woopee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things, Oh on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM para normal podcast network. And I'll

be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And you might feel I'm being conflicting. You say, Joshua, you're telling me planetary alignments don't necessarily mean anything. But then you're telling me you believe in astrology, which is all about the connection between human life and the celestial bodies. But you see, there is no conflict

at all. I'm telling you that I believe there is evidence that celestial bodies affect life on Earth. But I don't think we can just jump to the conclusion that when some form of media or something from somebody you see online says there is a so called planetary alignment, that it means we should believe something exceptional is happening. There is not a conflict there at all. It's just being realistic about examining calls and effect. But this is

just my opinion on this podcast. I just tried to plant seeds in your head to inspire you to go and do your own independent research. That's the great thing about this show. I tell you something and then you can go and you know, look it up for yourself. This just popped into my head. I'm a big fan of the Superman movies, especially Superman the movie with Christopher Reeve and then of course Superman Two with Christopher Reeve. Recently, I was watching Superman two and honestly, I'm not sure.

I'm assuming it's the same as the original one, but this was a like a recut, like a director's addition that Richard Donnard did. If you're a Superman geek, but I thought it was kind of cool that in the beginning of the movie they show these astronauts walking around on the Moon, which is where they encounter the bad guys who come flying in from outer space. And the Moon project was called Artemis and that's the actual real name. But we are now giving to the project to send

people back to the Moon. I guess it makes sense, though, I mean, I can't remember I think Artemis was actually the Greek the Greek god that represented the moon or something like that. Oh, I don't know, but anyhow, I just thought that was kind of cool, Like you could you could say Superman too, was ahead of its time. It was predicting, it was predicting the future. Here's something else that I find interesting when it comes to synchronicity.

As I record this, it's getting close to my wedding anniversary. Lauren and I have been together for almost thirty years. I think that this is year twenty eight, and we were having dinner recently with a couple who just got married, oh maybe I think a year and a half ago, and we were talking a little bit about some of the odd things that bring people together. And I may have mentioned this on the show before, but I just thought like you would find this intriguing. I, of course,

am from Asheville, North Carolina. That's where I was born and raised, and Lauren is from Texas. She's from the Houston, Texas area. And I met Lauren because her her parents got divorced and her mother moved from Texas to North Carolina to move in with a guy named Frank Warren. Now my grandfather was also named Frank Warren. I'm talking about.

My father's father was named Frank Warren. And Lauren's mother moved to Asheville to date this man that's totally unrelated to me named Frank Warren, and it looked like they could possibly end up getting married. So Lauren came to Asheville to stay with her mother, and then her mother's birthday was like October thirtieth or right through at Halloween time, and so her mom went on a ghost tour and took Lauren on the ghost tour. And that's how I met Lauren on a ghost tour. I was hosting the

ghost tour and she was my customer. I don't usually have those relationships with my customers, but that was the one time it worked out. And so here's the funny thing though, So Lauren and I ended up getting married, And so again Lauren has now married into this family where my grandfather is named Frank Warren. If Lauren's mother had also married her Frank Warren, then there would be these these families with Frank Warren's that are totally unrelated.

Yet the mother's married to a Frank Warren and the daughter's married to a girl whose grandfather is Frank. It's like, good luck with that genealogist, good luck sorting that out. But it turns out her mother did not marry Frank Warren, and so that made things less complex. Lauren's mother is no longer with us, God rest her soul. But nonetheless, I just you know, things like that happen and you go Hence, life is so full of strange connections and synchronicities,

and you just don't know. You don't know how I mean, sometimes you have to look back in retrospect, and things almost seem to make more sense when you look back and time that way. All right, here's a creepy story. This was sent to me by a man named Joseph Keever from Great ben, Kansas, about something that happened to him in nineteen eighty six. He said, I lived upstairs in a three room apartment, and my mom dad were visiting from Illinois. They slept in my queen's eize bed.

I slept on a rollaway bed in my living room slash bedroom, with my bed three feet away from the foot of theirs. One night, I was lying on my back when I heard someone walking up the stairs. I assumed it was my neighbor coming home, but then I heard my door opening. There was no way this could have happened, as I always locked my door. I heard someone walking through the kitchen, but I could not move. I tried to sit up and tell Dad or Mom that someone was in the apartment, but I could not speak.

I felt something touch my ankles. I really wanted to move or scream, but I could not. I felt something moving up my legs and then onto my chest, and I could hear it breathing and feel it breathe on my face. I was still unable to move. It growled in my face. Suddenly it was gone. I sat straight up, horrified at what just happened. And to this day, I always sleep on my side, never on my back. Yeah what do you think that was? Do I have time

for another story? Yeah? I don't think so. I have so many interesting Thank you guys for sending me messages and telling me your stories, and you know, like, look, I'm not here to tell you I can explain everything, but I do. I do want to point this out. I think it's important from time to time for me to reiterate. I get emails every week. I mean you know this show. It's a part of iHeart, It's a

part of Coast to Coast to End. A lot of people listen all over the world, and they they message me and they tell me things that you know, are sometimes very personal. And I get all of these messages from people saying I love meditating on that good Fortune tone that you play at the end of the show. And I created the Good Fortune Tone just for this show. What I did was take the most perfect, balanced, beautiful, harmonious sigil apparently that has ever been made, called the

Golden Ratio. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just you know, get online. I wonder what happens if you just go to if you just type in like WICKI Golden ratio or golden mean, you'll come up with all right, yeah, okay, pop's right up there, and dig into that. I took the Golden Ratio, which is the most perfect harmonious thing, because what we really want in life is balance, and I turn that into a tone.

And so when you listen to the Good Fortune Tone, you're listening to something that is supposed to sympathetically resonate with you and create this absolute sense of balance and peace and rectify your problems. Some people even put a glass of water next to it and then they listen to the water. They listen to the sound while they then they drink the water. Anyway, here it is the good Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
