We would like to encourage you to do your own research and discover the subject

matter for yourself. You got ready. This is Strange Thing with I Am JOSHUAFE Warren, and each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new my blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do at home, and a lot more on this edition of the show. They won't let me investigate this. Actually you're going to hear kind of a list of stories and places in this particular podcast. I got a message the other day from a woman asking me if I had ever investigated the creepy La

Louri mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now, I have had a lot of spooky experiences in Louisiana. In fact, you possibly heard me talk about the time I spent the night by myself at Myrtle's plantation in Saint Francisville, Louisiana, and had some intelligent invisible being knocking on the walls and the tables and keeping me up all night. Got

that on video. But anyway, getting back to her particular question, I told her that I I have been to the Llauri mansion and if you don't know what that is, I'll tell you in a minute. But I said, I have been to the creepy l Loauri mansion, but they would not let me in to investigate. And she said, what why? Why on earth wouldn't they let you into it? This?

And I get this reaction from time to time for people when I say, yeah, I couldn't get in, They can't believe it, They say, well, wi on earth would anyone deny access to the great and terrible Joshua Pee Warren to go in and do it? And I think this is a good opportunity to tell you some stories about just how much resistance that you get sometimes when

you're in the paranormal field. If you are the type of person who listens to a podcast like this, then that means you are open minded and you are intelligent enough to understand how interesting these mysterious places are. And if you owned a place like that, or managed a place that had some amazing phenomenon, you would welcome a credible person coming in to study it. But because you're that kind of person, it's easy to just expect that others would feel the same way, and that is certainly

not always the case. So let me tell you what happened when it comes to the Lo Louri Mansion. First off, this is a story that I find kind of difficult to talk about. If you a lot of you may have heard about this place because it was dramatized in the popular show American Horror Story. But this truly was a house of horrors, a house of torture and mutilation, And in fact, some of the stories are so gruesome and disturbing that I honestly do not want to get

into them on this podcast. But here's the gist of it. Okay, this house, it's right near Bourbon Street, so it's in the middle of all the action. And it was the residence of this woman who lived from seventeen eighty seven to eighteen forty nine named Marie Delphine la Lourie. Okay, and so I guess she became known as Madame la Lourie after one of her marriages. And according to Wikipedia, it says she was a New Orleans sociolite and serial

killer who tortured and murdered slaves in her household. And again, if you want to to learn more about this, then

you can just look it up for yourself. But she was so horribly torturing slaves, almost to the point of experimentation, you know, mutilating them and doing really unspeakable things to them that when the people of New Orleans found out about this and discovered some of these poor people who had been chained up in her house and tied up in her house, the house was mobbed and it was basically destroyed, and they were going to execute her, but somehow,

you know, she was connected enough, and she escaped. They I think they believed she escaped to France and was never brought to justice, and they believed that she died there on Let's See at the age of sixty two.

But it's just just a terrible story. So they're that in mind, because in twenty twelve, I was hired by the Travel Channel and the company that produces the Ghost Adventures show to be a regular cast member on a TV series called Paranormal Papa Rozzi, And the idea was that I would be on every single episode and I would be one of a handful of reporters that would travel around the United States covering strange topics and especially

any kind of breaking news about anything weird. You know, ghost, UFOs, cryptids, all that stuff, but also you know, just unusual stuff like some of these explosions that people would experience out of the blue in the in their in their their neighborhood and all that kind of business. The As a matter of fact, one time I went to uh UM, I went to Florida and I did a segment off the cuff about the Fountain of Youth, and the people there didn't want me to cover that, so UM anyway,

that kind of ties into the topic. But nonetheless, for this show UM, I spent months with my friend and producer ce Eric Scott traveling all over the United States by planes, trains, and automobiles, h and even part of the fringe, the outer fringe of Mexico there covering these stories. It was a heck of an adventure. There's no way I could do that now I don't have the energy to do that anymore. But it was a great epic adventure,

kind of a once in a lifetime experience. And one of the places we were assigned to cover a story in was New Orleans, and they actually sent us down there to do a story about this voodoo priestess. And actually I think that one didn't make the cut for some reason. But while Eric and I were in New Orleans, I realized at one point that we were near the La louri Mansion. Okay, this is in in the evening, and this is a mansion that it's connected to pop culture in a lot of different ways. For a while,

Nicolas Cage, the actor, owned this house. So I was let's see Eric and I one evening we were walking by and I go, that's the La Lourie Mansion. Wouldn't that be an risting segment? And of course it was. It was all locked up and it looked like, I didn't have any way of even trying to figure out, you know, who to contact. And I looked up at Lo and behold, there is a man standing on a

balcony up there, holding a drink. And I start shouting up there and we start having a friendly conversation and he's telling me about the house and everything, and I said, hey, this is amazing. You know, I'm here in town filming some interesting stories for the Travel Channel. Is it okay if I come inside and take a look. And the guy says, yeah, sure, that's fine, and then he turned and he walks off, And I said to Eric, Wow,

can you believe this? What an unexpected Jack Pott. You know I'm going to get to go into this this you know, amazing Lolauri mansion to do this story. And then we waited and waited. About five minutes later, the guy reappears and now there is a second man with him, an older guy, and the older guy just looks down it doesn't say anything. And the first guy I was talking to he was wearing a ball cap and he

kind of looked like a groundskeeper. Sort. I don't know, I've just seen enough groundskeepers I kind of know what they look like and uh, and he goes, I'm sorry, I can't. I can't, And I was like, what, you know, I was so close, and I try my best to convince these guys. You know, I started bribing them, and I don't know how much money I had on me, but I was and nothing worked. So I never got to go in there. And that was the story at that time. They did not want that kind of publicity.

And I must point out that actually that is not even the same structure, because the original structure was torn and torn apart and burned down by a mob, so this is even a different building. But still, you know, it's the same piece of space time there where all this happened. And but since then the building has changed hands, and I believe that with new owners and new management, other people have I'm in and been able to investigate

that place. But this made me think of like all these similar situations that I've had throughout my life in which I have been told Nope, you cannot investigate this. And you have to realize that over time, though ownership changes, management changes, and some people do and some people do

not want publicity. When we come back from our first break, I'm going to tell you about some of these places that have had this attitude or change in attitude, like the Grove Park in in Asheville, North Carolina, the Reed House, and my biggest challenge ever, the White House. I also have an interesting story for you about Robert the Haunted Doll. All that and a lot more. By the way, you know, I recently released the Buddha Stone, money Magnet and Happiness Kit,

and boy has the response been absolutely overwhelming. People around the world absolutely love this thing.

Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast am parin normal podcast network. I'm your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua pe Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every night is silver.

Gia Tato Zume, agiatatos Zume, do you feel the magic? Guess what a listener of this show heard the episode I did about the magical word ajiatatos Zume, and he created a private Facebook group just to discuss experiences regarding this word and similar topics. And so if you are on Facebook and you want to participate, even though it's a private group, you should be able to just go there and you know, request to be a part of it, and it would be fascinating, I'm sure for all of

us to sort of see where this goes. So let me spell that for you in case you want to do it. It's spelled A g I A T A t o z o O m A y. Probably if you just type in a gia it'll pop up. But a gia T A t o z o o m a y ajiatato zoome. This is gonna be cool. Also, you know, I was talking about me being on this show called Paranormal Paparazzi that aired on the Travel Channel

in twenty and twelve. If you want to see some free segments from that TV show, as well as samples of some other TV stuff I've done, if you go to Joshua Pewarren dot com, there's a section at the top that says TV and film work, and if you click that, it will just give you some free samples, you know, clips and reels and things that you can watch and if you've never seen that, you might enjoy

some of it. But you know, I was born and raised in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, and one of the most prominent places in Asheville is the Grove Park In Resort and spa. The Venerable Resort was built in nineteen thirteen and its history is magnificent. It's the kind of place where you know all the celebrities and the presidents would stay, you know, when they came into town. And while I was growing up, I mean, everybody knew that there was this ghost there called the Pink Lady.

And the story was that she was some young woman who'd been staying there, probably in the nineteen twenties, and wearing a long pink evening gown and somehow she fell off of a balcony in the interior of the hotel around the Palm Court and died, and then her death was sort of covered up. And now this Pink Lady has seen as a ghost floating around the place, and for decades it was forbidden to talk about this ghost. Employees were told at the Grove Park End, if you

talk about this, you will be fired. For a number of reasons. It might not just be because some people get scared, but also because that if there was a real death and some prominent figure was connected, then it may have actually been a cover up. We just we still don't know for certain about the facts surrounding this

Pink Ladys story. But all we know is that a lot of people said they saw her, and a lot of people claimed that's it's rooted in fact and all of that sort of changed in I guess it was around nineteen ninety five ninety six when I actually was already writing my book, Haunted Asheville. It took me a long time to write that book because I went out and ideal of these investigations and turned them into stories, and it was just so fortunate for me. It was it was just like a super you know, hitting the

local ghost latto. I got contacted by the resort Dave Tomsky and Craig Madison, who were in charge of marketing immediate relations there, decided they were interested in finally revealing this story, but they wanted to get the facts down, and so they hired me to spend six months crawling around that place and interviewing people and spending the night in rooms, and I produced a report, the Pink Lady Report, which impressed them enough that they did it all out

marketing campaign, had a big media event, and I'm telling you, satellite news trucks came from all over the country. It was a huge boost for what would become my career. And also, you know, they allowed me to write about it, and Haunted Asheville and The Pink Lady ended up on the cover of the book, and it was just like

a huge win win win, Like everybody loved it. And now when you go to the Grove park in, I mean, the Pink Lady is this beloved sort of mascot for the place, and little kids leave notes to her outside of the door where they believe that she stayed. I mean, it's just, you know, it's turned out to be great.

And yet at the same time, there was another house that I wrote about, or there was a house, a mansion that I wrote about in Haunted Asheville called the Reid House, which was owned by one of George Vanderbilt's lawyers. Of course, George Vanderbilt owned the Biltmore House, which is this amazing castle in Asheville. It's the largest private home in America. And so his lawyer, Samuel Reid, owned this

house on a nearby hill. And at that time, the woman who owned the house, Marge Turco, was with the Preservation Society, and she was just delighted to have the story of the ghosts in that house put into the book, and we would take people up there sometimes on tours and investigations. And then all of a sudden, you know, she sold it and a couple of new guys came in, and the next time I went over there, they said, this is under new management now and you are no

longer welcome to talk about the ghost here. And I was like, what really? So that happened. I don't know who owns it now and what the policy is, but I often I will have access to a place for a while and then something like this will happen. Of course, the top place that I've been trying to get into for a long time is the White House, and nobody has ever been able to successfully go and conduct a public paranormal investigation of the White House, but in particular

the Lincoln Bedroom. I have been to the White House on a tour and that was arranged by some friends that I have in the political arena, But as far as an investigation of the Lincoln Bedroom, that's something that almost has to be authorized by the President or certainly

his inner circle. And you know, there was this amazing photograph that was taken in the nineteen fifties during a renovation of the White House that shows what I believe is a ghostly, full bodied apparition standing in the basement of the White House, right under the Lincoln bedroom and if any of you think that that maybe like a long exposure, I did a video where we demonstrated why we don't believe that, and in fact, there are updates to that video that are not in the video where

we determined that that was only exposed for a maximum of two seconds and there's no way it could have created that kind of of a translucent being. As a matter of fact, we found we didn't even notice this when we were doing our original research. And by us, I mean see Eric Scott and myself who made the

report and put a video out about it. But there actually is another construction worker in this picture, and he happens to be walking, like taking a step at the moment the picture was snapped, and we were able to use that to calculate the exposure time. But anyway, if you're interested in this picture, you'd go to Joshua Pewarren

dot com. There's a section called Gallery of the Strange and if you click that, you'll see a section called something about you know, the White House Ghost, and you can watch our video report and see the updates and all that. Well. I started writing letters to presidents, starting with Obama. Obama was the first president. I think that I wrote a letter to asking for permission to go and do an investigation. And you have to understand something.

The White House is ultimately supposed to be accessible to the people. And we see how that how the roles have changed and the government of this country over the past you know, two hundred and almost two hundred and fifty years here, but you know that it is supposed to be the people's property, and the president is as a public servant who lives there temporarily, but it should be accessible to the people. Well, anyway, good luck convincing

the system of that nowadays. I wrote multiple letters to Obama asking for permission to just go and spend a few hours investigating the Lincoln bed him. Absolutely got no clearance to that. And then I wrote President Trump and ask him no clearance. Then I wrote President Biden, same deal, no clearance. I don't care who the president is, I don't care what the political party is. This transcends politics. This is about a historic building that belongs to the

American public. And so you know, presidents and their administrations come and go, always have, always will. But I have never been given that opportunity. And I'll throw it out there one more time. You know, if any president or any administration or anybody in a position can give me just a few hours to go into the Lincoln Bedroom, it will be a very professional investigation. Everything that I

do will be authorized in advance. And I think it would just be a wonderful treat because it also would be a great way of helping to feature the history of that room and the White House in particular. But you know, I doubt that's going to happen, but you never know. You never know. I've even said a wishing machine on that project before, and that's one of the wishes that has not come true yet. It's not too late.

I'll tell you something else. You know, when I was down there in Key West, Florida doing my original investigation of Robert the Haunted Doll, and this has been like gosh, I don't know, probably like thirteen years ago or something like that. When I went down there, the people in Key West, and of course, you know Robert the Haunted Doll. He's this doll who supposedly comes to life and runs around the people in Key West. They rolled out a red carpet for me, and they really gave me a

lot of wonderful access to Robert the Haunted Doll. But then something happened after that. They put a negative spin on things. When we come back, I'm going to tell you that, and I'm gonna tell you about a very weird personal experience I had less than a week ago. And listen to this. A friend of mine, who is a witch, said she has a weight loss spell. If you want to lose weight, she said, try this out.

I wonder if it works. I'm Joshua Pete Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast. I am para normal podcast Network. I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am Aaron Normal podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. I spent quite a while investigating Robert the Haunted Doll down in Key West, Florida.

George Nor asks me about it all the time. It's one of his favorite stories. And I got to go in there late at night because he's kept in a museum now. And when I got to go in when the museum was closed and spend time alone with the doll. And then at one point they there's a big glass case around him, and that case had been over him for four years, and they came and took the case off and let me do all these studies. And I did all these reports for Coast to Coast AMS Live reports.

It was a huge success. And one of the ladies who at that time was in charge of access to the museum and the doll, she was very kind and open to everything I was doing. And then afterward I had so much interesting content and I discovered some, you know, some new things about Robert the Haunted Doll that I decided to write a short book about it, because at that time there was no like Little Robert the Doll

book and their gift shop or anything. So I wrote this little book called Don't Play with Robert the World's Most Haunted Doll. And I was all proud of it, and I sent a copy to her and she flipped out. And it's weird, I mean, in other words, she did not like it. She did not flip out in a good way. It was a very bad way. She was.

She was outraged that I had written a book without getting her mission to write it, and I guess she didn't like the way I wrote it, And I mean, don't play with Robert was meant to be kind of tongue in cheek, but at the same time, I mean, the idea is you respect this doll. Because the walls around the doll are covered with letters from people asking for forgiveness because they didn't respect him. That's part of

the legacy of the doll. But I found over and over a lot of people who get around certain objects, especially Robert the doll, they become obsessed with the doll, and they start feeling like it's my precious, my precious, you know, and if you do anything that encroaches on it without like including them, they don't like it. So she basically, you know, was she well, I don't. I

wouldn't go so far as to say I was. I was threatened if I did anything with the book, but it was certainly not endorsed or supported in any way. But I did put it on my website and that to this day. If you go to my Curiosity shop just for you know, like a few bucks, you can you can download it as an e book. I think for like less than ten dollars, you can download a handful of of e books I've written. Don't play with Robert.

But that's another one of those cases where um, you never know, I mean, you gotta you gotta walk on eggshell sometimes when it comes to this, this paranormal content and in paranormal places, of paranormal objects and the whole thing. You know, here's a bit of a side note. When I was in Key West doing a lot of research, one of the best tours I've ever taken in my life was the Rather You know, it was probably like a one hour long walking tour of the Ernest Hemmingway home.

And you know, the guy who was there, Uh, he looked like he'd been giving this tour for a long time. And I just love how succinct he was when he would, uh as he as he took us through this house, I mean the house. Yeah, it was a large house, but it wasn't that big, and yet he made you feel like you'd gone on this epic journey and he just he kind of used Himingway style of writing was very vivid as he took us through and told us everything. And at the end of it, I asked him. I said,

what's your favorite humming Way quote? And he looked at me and he said, courage is grace under pressure. So I've always remembered him saying that to me. What do you think courage is grace under pressure? It is kind of beautiful, isn't it. But anyway, look, getting back to this whole list of places, you know, I don't even get out and conduct investigations as much as I used to.

You know, I had thirty years of doing that, and now I spend more time doing experiments in my lab here in Las Vegas and inventing metaphysical tools based on the things I've learned. I'm working on a long term project. I'm working on a portal machine for my property near Area fifty one. I run tours, the Haunted Ashville Tours, the Haunted Boulder City Tours. I have a lot of stuff going on, so I don't get out and investigate

as much as I want to. So there, I don't even know if I would go back and make the trip to investigate some of these places that I've talked about, but I would. I would make that trip to the White House if they let me into the Lincoln bedroom. Okay, let me tell you about a weird experience that I had, oh less than a week ago. You know, I have a very erratic schedule, but often I'm up all night working and then I sleep rather late into the day. You know, sometimes I'll sleep to like four pm. And

so I was sleeping during the afternoon recently. And I've always talked about what a vivid dreamer I am. And I had this dream that Lauren and I were going down a road I couldn't tell where it was, and all of a sudden, I go, oh, my god, look and Lauren she realizes that there is this driver going the wrong way. I guess we were on a one way road, you know, I guess, like on a freeway, and there's there's a driver coming the wrong way toward us, and right we were about to have a head on collision.

I woke up and I really couldn't get back to sleep, and so not too long after that, you know, I got up and when I started checking the news and my messages, that's, you know, my routine. And it turns out the news didn't post until like, you know, maybe a couple hours later, but less than a mile from

my house. There had been a wrong way crash that had happened on the two fifteen, And as a matter of fact, I've got the news story right here, and it said that a white Nissan CenTra was going the wrong way on two fifteen here in Las Vegas and crashed head on with a gray Chevrolet Silverado truck and both drivers were transported to the hospital. The man driving the truck is in a critical condition. Police believe the woman in the wrong way vehicle was impaired, and police

are investigating. And so that happened right around the time that I was having that dream. Was I experiencing, you know, in real time what was happening down the road for me in my dream? Stay? I don't know, but that kind of stuff, you know, it sticks with you when it happens, because what are the chances of that? And you know, I really do believe in a greater self and a higher self and a spiritual self that sometimes

you can access more easily through through dreams. And I think you can tap into that to improve your life as well through various spiritual exercises. And a friend of mine who lives in California is Patty Negri. She's been on lots of TV shows, especially ghost Adventures, and she's famously known as the Good Witch, and she's just a wonderful, fun loving, warm, nice person. And she posted something I thought I would share with you. She posted this on

Twitter recently. She said it's a weight loss spell. And I think people are always interested in that, right, a weight loss spell. She says, it's so easy. She says, what you do is you take a candle that you like, and you decide that every time you eat something, you're going to light this candle. And then then you stop eating and you blow the candle out. That you do

not eat unless that candle is lit. And she said, even if you're going to go get a midnight snack and you want to get one more chip or one little cookie, you turn, you light that candle, and that this starts training your brain to become more aware of what you're consuming and how much you need. And somehow, she says, you will start eating less and you'll start burning off more energy and the pounds will stop drop

start dropping away. As she said, if you go out to eat with somebody, or maybe you're on a date and you don't have the candle, she said imagine the candle is burning, and that's the next best thing. She also said you might want to have a spell that you say out loud, like beauty here, beauty now, beauty, it is me. I am healthy, I am fit. Tomorrow you will see. And when she said that, I thought, well, that's a good way to prevent a second date. Imagine,

you know, you go out on a date. I'm a guy, so I'm like, imagine going out with some young lady on a date and every time she eats, she goes, beauty here, beauty now, beauty, it is me. I am healthy, I am fit. Tomorrow you will see. I'd be like, oh, this is gonna be a fun night. Matter make the most of it. So anyway, but you know, obviously you get the point. You know, it's about having some kind of a ritual or routine that you attached to eating

that you do consistently. So I want you all to try that out, and I want you to email me and tell me what happened to you. You can find my email address if you go to Joshua Peewarren dot com and scroll down on the homepage. There something else I want to share with you real quick. Along these lines is George Dory was recently interviewing a woman who said she was a law of attraction expert. But he asked her, well, what is He said, where does the word law of or he said, where does the phrase

law of attraction come from? And there was a moment of silence and she said, Oh, that's a that's a good question. I have no idea. Well, I know, and I wrote about this and my book used the Force, a Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction. When we come back from this break, I'm going to tell you

about that. It's actually really interesting. And then I'm going to read an email from a guy who has a question about wishing machines and prayer boards, and then I plan to share some fascinating trivia with you trivia word edemola. I just love this stuff. Word etymology. Oh boy, time flies too quickly sometimes. On this show, I'm Joshua pee Warnon. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am parin Normal Podcast Network, and I will

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 pe Warren, and in my book used the Force A Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction, I wrote. In the late eighteen hundreds, mystic writers such as Madame Blovotsky began using the term law of attraction and reference

to the relationship between matter and energy. Other writers in the early nineteen hundreds clearly define this phrase as a simple yet profound concept which is like attracts like. In nineteen o nine, English writer Thomas Troward stated it more eloquently. He said, quote the action of mind plants the nucleus, which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.

End quote. I Also, going back to Madame Blovotsky, I wrote that in her book Isis Unveiled? A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern science and Technology? Madame Helena Blovotsky wrote, quote by whatsoever name the physicist may call the energizing principle in nature? If the law of attraction is admitted as governing one, why should it be excluded from influencing the other end quote. I believe that's the first time we actually saw law of attraction

in print that I'm aware of. And by the way, I also wrote here. Helena Blovotsky, often referred to as Madame Blavotsky, was born in eighteen thirty one and what is now the Ukraine and died in London in eighteen ninety one at the age of fifty nine. She was a world famous philosopher and occultist who traveled the globe investigating spiritual cultures and esoteric mysteries. And I'll actually continue just a little bit, says her friends included inventors such

as Thomas Edison. In eighteen seventy five, she was a founder of the Theosophical Society, an institute devoted to metaphysical research and publishing. Blovotsky herself defined theosophy as the quote archaic wisdom, religion, the esoteric doctrine once known in every ancient country, having claims to civilization. In quote again, that's from my book Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction. You can attain that book through

my website. You know a lot of people who are writing during that period of time are considered people who align themselves with the New Thought movement, a spiritual movement that especially coalesced in the United States in the early eighteen hundreds and continued shaping a lot of thinkers throughout all the way up until till the early twentieth century. And I also sympathize and resonate with what they say as the New Thought movement. Apparently, there are four main

core beliefs. So let's see if you agree with these four beliefs. Number one, God or infinite intelligence is supreme, universal, and everlasting. That's number one. I agree with it. Number two is divinity dwells within each person, and that all people are spiritual beings. I agree with that, do you. Number three, the highest spiritual principle is loving one another unconditionally and teaching and healing one another. That's the tough one,

isn't it. I mean, like, I almost feel like I'm not worthy to claim that I'm capable of loving people unconditionally. But it doesn't say that you have to because nobody's perfect. It just says the highest spiritual principle is that, and that's what most of the ascended masters. I've also said you know, that's what Jesus said, So I mean, yeah, if you can do that, then I guess you're there. It's hard, but I agree that that has to be the highest principle, because hey, loving others, all that does

is eventually reflect back on you. And then number four and this is the last one. Our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living. So let me repeat that. Our mental states, okay, the state of mind that you're in. Our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living. And yes, I certainly agree with that as well. So I guess I am a new thought adherent and I bet many of you are as well. So I thought

i'd share that with you. Let's go to some emails now. Actually, well, gosh, ya, the time is clicking by too fast. How about this one. I got this message from a man named Randy. He says, hello, Joshua, I was curious as to which one manifest faster or better. Would it be the prayer board or the wishing machine or what a combination of both be beneficial? Okay, so if you go to my curiosity shop, you're going to see a lot of different manifestation tools and you can

pick the one you like the best. It's almost like going into the music store and saying, they all make music. Okay, what kind of music do you do you want to make? Do you want a guitar? Do you want a piano? Do you want to violin? Do you want to flute? Like? What does it for you? But what I said to him specifically is that I personally use a wishing machine

for long term goals. So if I have a big goal, big project, I will tune that into the wishing machine and then let the wishing machine sit there and work on it and take its time. However, I use the prayer board every single day as general maintenance to just make my day go smoothly as possible every single day. So they perfectly complimented each other, but I think they're but there. They do different things. You can you're manifesting

either way. But one is more of like like, let's direct on this one thing, and the other one is, yeah, you can focus on a one thing, but you also should just really interact with it every single day. So hopefully that will answer a question that others may have. Usually they say, when one person asks a question that there's like thousands of other people out there who have that same question but haven't asked it. All right, let me squeeze in some interesting trivia here. Here's there's an

old joke. It's more of an insult. Really, you say to somebody you know how to instantly lose eleven pounds of ugly fat, cut your head off. Now that's mean, isn't it. Um? But it turns out that the average human head actually does weigh eleven pounds. It seems like a lot, doesn't it be carrying around on your neck. I told Lauren that a head weighs eleven pounds, and she said, yeah, I knew that. I was like, how did you know that? She said that it was in

a movie. I think she said it was Jerry Maguires, some kid says that, And I was like, oh, okay, so maybe you knew that also. All right, how about this. Everybody loves oreos I think it may be the best selling cookie in the world. What do you think is the origin of the name oreo O r EO? Where do you think that comes from? Turns out nobody knows. Nobody knows. It's a true mystery. That's kind of crazy, isn't it. Nobody knows where oreo came from? Oh? Well

that was That was dissatisfying, wasn't it. But this is something that I thought was particularly interesting, the word jinks. You know, you do something and somebody goes, oh, things are going well, don't jink sit, you know, don't get too carried away. I thought, where does that come from? Well,

here is the answer to that question. Apparently if you look into the etymology, it says the word jinks, and of course we spell it usually nowadays j i n x, but at once was spelled j y n x, meaning a charm or a spell, was in usage as early as the sixteen hundreds. It's traced to a seventeenth century word which means a spell, gene, which means a spell. That ultimately leads to the Latin word jinks, which comes from the Latin word inex, which comes from the Greek

name of a bird called a Rheineck bird. You ever heard of a rheineck w R y n e c k small but distinctive group of old, small, old world woodpeckers, And you think, well, why in the world are we talking about this originating from a woodpecker, and it says this woodpecker, the rheineck, has always been associated with sorcery.

Not only was the bird used in casting of spells and divination, but the ancient Romans and Greeks traced the birds mythological origins to a sorceress named Lynx, who is transformed into this bird to punish her for a spell cast on the god Zeus. So apparently, thousands of years ago, the ancient Romans and Greeks believe that this sorceress cast a spell on Zeus and she was punished by being transformed into this bird called a rheineck. And that is

what jinks basically means rheineck. So we're referring to that bird. That's wild, isn't it. So that's why you know you don't want to jink stuff.
