I am Joshua Pee Warren, and each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do at home, and a lot more on this edition of the show. Tools to Access Truth The Secret Wisdom of Kucko Con Part three, I am going to read to you the third chapter from the book I wrote in two thousand and eight. Called The Secret Wisdom of Kuko Khan enter Dimensional Contact in a Holo Sentient Universe. This is the book that

deals with aliens, spirits, cryptids, esp and you. And I'm not going to spend the whole podcast on this. In fact, this is one of the shorter chapters. After that, I have a just a variety of weird stuff, random stuff that I want to talk about. Is that okay with you? I bet it is. After all, you're the one listening to a show called Strange Things. I will not lead you astray, I promise. Sometimes I just make notes about things I find interesting and I say, someday I'll talk

about that on the show. Well, this looks like it might be one of those days. Also, if you are a new listener, and we're fortunate because we have new listeners joining us all the time, and maybe this is the first podcast you've listened to, So here is what I'm doing. Occasionally I will read a chapter from this book I wrote in two thousand and eight called The Secret Wisdom of Kugo Kan And again it doesn't take

up the whole show. But what I figure is I will do this from time to time, and then eventually I'll have read the whole book on this show, and then I can sew all the pieces together, and i'll

have an audio book that I've read. So that's what's going on here right now, and therefore this particular chapter chapter three now, and I do want to point out because I wrote this in two thousand and eight, I mean, there may be things that I would write differently or phrase differently nowadays if I if I wrote it, I don't know. Probably I haven't read this in a while, so we're kind of going through this together. So just

keep that in mind in case I say something horribly offensive. Okay, let's get to chapter three of the Secret Wisdom of Caucalcan, which is called Tools to Access Truth. All right, now, I'm going to do it officially ready, Chapter three, Tools to Access Truth. Albert Einstein said, quote the most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or a hostile universe. End quote. From that,

perhaps we can extrapolate an even more substantive point. You must decide whether or not you are a mere helpless doll at the whims of some powerful and personal force, or you are an active, engaging participant in your destiny

able to shape it to your liking. The dilemma of free will versus determinism has been debated by philosophers for centuries, but in practicality a personal level, the problem is solved for you if there are numerous predetermined outcomes for you, yet you are able to choose which one to experience most vividly. If you believe you are solely a ragdall batted around by impervious powers, then you may as well lie down and die today. However, we know empirically that

you can pick yourself up and choose to develop. Therefore, if you choose to engage the universe around you, it's natural to seek assistance. The power structure of society places psychological boundaries on us from birth, limiting what we think we can achieve. Every time a baby pops forth into the world, everyone assumes it will most likely grow up to be a conditioned dummy. After all, most of us

are merely average. That's why it's the average. Therefore, most people treat you like a dummy unless and until you prove otherwise. The easiest way to begin our process of overcoming those societal boundaries is with the assistance of tools temporary crutches that can gradually prove the possible to you, allowing you to transcend the borders so distinctly imposed. There is a true gut instinct deep within you, molded by millions of years, that responds to all stimuli around you.

In the general sense, it functions as a binary code relaxing and tensing. Everything you encounter, be it physical or mental, produces some gradient of contraction or relaxation. On a deep level, you produce a vibration around you, composed of an organic morse code, your organs clenching and releasing, sometimes many times per second. Unfortunately, we cannot always be aware of these signals.

Since we are taught from birth to function within the theater of culture, you are supposed to look, speak, and behave in a certain way, depending on the culture. Some of the requirements are beneficial for the collective civilization and some are not. Regardless, a good deal of your attention is focused upon those standards instead of acknowledging how you feel within. Simple tools that help express how you fill within are called dowsing instruments. Your body is an antenna

for all the activity around it. A dowsing instrument is a simple device that takes a tiny reaction within your body and magnifies it into a more visible and dramatic expression. The simplest type of dowsing tool is a rod or pendulum. There are various methods of dowsing, but most rods are l shaped wires, and one held in each hand, swings to and fro in response to a question. Pendulums can be as simple as a fishing sinker tied to a

bit of wire hanging from the fingers. Detailed info on these techniques and developing telekinetic ability with the homemade energy will are in my book called How to Hunt Ghosts. So I won't get into the specifics of how to dows here. I bring this all up for a greater point. Regardless of how one chooses to dows the dowsing process

is extremely personal, customized by the dowser. Successful dowsing begins with the dowser first deciding what is to be sought and gained from the dowsing, and then telling the dowsing tool how to respond. This is often called programming. So for example, let's say an old timer wants to find water with a forked stick, well, he must decide or tell the stick what to do when water is encountered,

and then he relaxes and strolls along until the stick responds. Now, actually the stick itself is not necessarily responding, but his body is responding. Since he inherently psychically knows where the water is, they cannot consciously access the information. The stick

allows him to tap into his subconscious ability. If you are dowsing with the pendulum to find the location of your lost car keys, you would tell the pendulum to swing clockwise for yes and counterclockwise for no. Then you would proceed to ask the pendulum are they in my garage? Are they in my bedroom? Until you get an affirmative response. You would then continue to break it down to the

right area. Another person might apply the exact same technique, but tell the pendulum to swing counter clockwise for yes and clockwise for no. As you can see, in the process of dowsing, what is important is the programming of the instrument, deciding how psychic knowledge from the wormhole brain should be expressed by a visible tool. This is the basis for how tools work. In this sense, tools are ultimately the devices that allow us to more easily document

our interactions with the environment. Okay, I'm going to stop right there. Environment. We'll pick it up when I come back from the break. And you know, that's one of the things that I think is always intriguing about dowsing is that, oftentimes, especially in like show business, it's been presented as if the dowsing device has some kind of power. The stick has a spirit in it that pools you somewhere.

The rods have a spirit react to the energy, the pendulum has a spirit that's being controlled by exterior forces. Even a Wigi board as a type of dowsing device, and people believe the Wuigia board has a spirit and it could be evil and you better stay away from it. But I don't believe that's the case. I think these

are just tools. And as a matter of fact, if you take two people who are having great success getting messages from a wigia board and then you blindfold those people, all of a sudden, the Wuigia board starts to speak gibberish. So I think you see what I mean. It's tapping in to the human perception more than acting as some objective tool like we expect a scientific instrument to do, which is why these things cannot be measured consistently and

calibrated consistently from a scientific point of view. Now, like I say, we'll continue this in a minute, but I want to remind you by the time you hear this, I have no idea whether or not we will have any more of the Buddhist own money, magnet and happiness kits available.

Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio

and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua B. Warren, the Wizard of Weird, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every night is silver. A giatato zoomme. Let's get back into the secret wisdom of Kuko Kahn chapter three. Here it is okay, Here

we go. Are you ready? Here we go. Upon accepting that dowsing is not about some strange physical interaction between a tool and environment, such as a forked stick and an underground stream, but the response of the body to information streaming from the wormhole brain, you can reduce the phenomenon to your individual ability. Science is based on things that most humans have in common. As we explore deeper and things are more individualized and unique, science does not apply.

That is why those consumed solely with science only understand the densest crust of human experience. Here we take a fascinating turn. Every item that is capable of receiving information is also capable of projecting it. For example, if you spin a magnet next to a coil of wire, the wire produces electricity, it becomes a generator. But if you apply electricity to the coil of wire the magnet spins,

it becomes a motor. A speaker can be reversed to create a microphone, and a microphone reversed to create a speaker. A large radio antenna can either stand passively to receive signals from electricity in the air, or it can broadcast electricity into the air so that other antennas will receive it. One of the best examples of how broadcasting works is the model of a swimming pool with a beach ball floating at both ends. When a person taps the ball at one end, ripples cross the water, and the ball

on the other end eventually bounces the same way. This can be done on either end, back and forth, demonstrating that either ball can be a sender or a receiver. As with this example, you will find that all of life's greatest mysteries are somehow exemplified by the small and the small culminate in the large The motion of atoms mimics the motion of star systems. Since you're a wormhole

brain can receive information useful for techniques like dowsing. It is also capable of powerfully broadcasting data into the universe. Just as change and variation is gathered and condensed, so it is protected and projected and expanded. The idea that your immensely strong wormhole brain can be properly focused to send your desires into the ether, as primarily where dousing tools transform into radionic tools. Radionic tools are divided into

various subjects, like psionics or psychatronics. I suggest you dig into the specifics on your own. For that, I recommend some of the books by Charles Kosamano, such as Psychic Power and Psionic Power. But in a nutshell, think about how your life, thoughts, and brain waves are shaped by mere symbols. One of the best examples is cash. If you're stranded in the desert with the pile of money, it's virtually useless. Yet if you're in a city where a vendor agrees the currency has some value, you can

trade it for goods. Another example, let's say someone called you a dirty name, and you wanted to punch that person. Now imagine the same scenario, except the person is wearing a badge. You would most likely be less apt to punch the badge wearer, since that symbol represents a list of psychological implications that may or may not be accurate. These very words I write are mere symbols, and yet

you are changing physically as you read them. Imagine how your body would respond if I merely told you a special loved one in your life had just died. Radionics is the study and implementation of symbolic tools that stimulate your mind to cause change in the universe. A part of radionics is sacred geometry, dealing with the fact that ancient cultures around the world used similar structures like pyramids to influence the mind. To this day, in the United States,

we still have a pyramid on the dollar bill. However, there has ever been an ancient pyramid found in the United States. Some symbols are so ubiquitous throughout history that they have defined mathematical staples. One mathematical ratio that constantly crops up in ancient architecture, art, and in fact natural designs is one to one point six one eight. This is called the golden ratio or the golden mean. There is something about that ratio that triggers a flow of

information from the human mind. Radionics devices use time proven symbols to help you send your wishes into the universe. This can be done through the usage of cool looking machines covered in knobs and coils, or in some cases, by simple drawings of the machines. Yes, let me repeat that, drawings of the machines. Imagine if you could heat up a potato by drawing a microwave and putting the potato

on top of it. That doesn't work in the boundary layer of reality, but radionics taps into the dimensional layer. Basic radionics machines have plates where you can put a sample to represent what you want to change, and then some mechanism by which you change it. For example, one radionics box I own has a small metal plate where I could place one of your hairs, and that hair

represents you. Next, I think about what I want to happen to you while I turn a bunch of dials one by one as I swing a pendulum over another plate, stopping each dial where the pendulum indicates the dial should stay and Once everything is in place, I leave the entire machine as is, and eventually my wishes will come true. Some call this a wishing machine, but don't forget the whole machine can work if I simply draw it on

a paper. In some cases, therefore, it all doesn't even have to be physically three D since it's not ultimately operating on the physical three D level. The subject of radionics to transition to the subject of magic and thought forms. When it comes to tools, I have stressed that each kind is ultimately connected to the same source, the wormhole brain. Frankly, any tool that a human can create, including the most complex computer, is still connected to the wormhole brain. Since

a brain created it, operates it, and interprets its feedback. Therefore, if you want to get right down to the purest form of tooling around both sensing the environment and sending information into the environment to change it, it always boils right back down to your wormhole brain. Magicians have always known this, and that's why those folks eventually skip radionics, machines,

and magic wands and go right for pure visualization. Becoming a magician is about gradually training yourself to deconstruct the limitations of culture and reconnect with your true inner power. It should be done in baby steps, So going through dal and radionics, etc. First is a very wise and effective way of transitioning from the resistance layer to the

dimensional layer. I don't think I need to say this, but at last, when I write of magicians, I'm not talking about illusionists to entertain I'm speaking of people who perfect the art of affecting change in the universe according to their will at a faster rate than it would normally occur. Alister Crowley popularize the spelling of magic as m agic k instead of magic to clarify that distinction.

So how exactly does magic work? Well, if there is only one lesson you should take from this book, it is this thoughts are real, tangible things affect all levels of reality. Because we are distracted by the resistance layer, we too often consider thoughts to be an energy on the dimensional layer alone, and that could not be further from the truth. Thoughts impact the resistance layer just as much as the dimensional or boundary layers. However, thoughts do

not necessarily create instant change. They take time to resonate through the environment. That's why it's exceptionally rare for someone to be able to sit down and move a ping pong ball instantly at will. On the other hand, thoughts can move your body incredibly quickly given your body's proximity to the thought. Each time you decide to move your arm and your arm moves, you are witnessing a form

of telekinesis. Newtonian physicist and Newtonian physics tell us that for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. But this cannot explain how you move your body with a simple thought alone unless thoughts actually do possess physical power. Indeed they do. Okay, I'm going to pause here now and let's see when we come back. Oh yeah, there's only like another couple of paragraphs left, and then I'll

finish this up. And then you know what. I was listening to this woman who is an intuitive channeler, and she has this special spirit guide, and she was being interviewed on Coast to Coast AM and she she gave this description of what happens when you die, and she said something that seemed a little oddly familiar to me. And then she said something else which is perhaps unsettling or it could be comforting, but I'm not sure how

accurate it is. I'm going to share that with you, and then we're just gonna get to some other weird and interesting trivia and just some stuff that I've been wanting to talk about. So I hope you've been enjoying this reading so far of the Secret Wisdom of Couga. Con will wrap that up, oh shortly. I am Joshua pe Warren, and you're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am parin normal podcast network,

and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to coastam para normal podcast network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren, and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Okay, I'm about to finish up this reading from my book I wrote in two thousand and eight, The Secret Wisdom of Kuku Khan. And if you want to just go ahead and download this whole book and read it, it's available right now if you go to Joshua Pewarren dot

com and click the link to the Curiosity Shop. And it doesn't cost very much either, all right, So I'm finishing up the reading of chapter three. Each thought of yours extends into the ocean of thoughts around it. A week thought will quickly drop off and become diluted. A strong, concentrated thought can be just as condensed and effective as a bullet, though taking time to fashion a thought into a self contained, penetrating vehicle to be fired into the

ether is an extremely significant task. These capsules of intention are what we can call thought forms. A master magician knows how to quickly and efficiently create thought forms, then fire them into the ether, producing change with great effectiveness. Though a practicing apprentice magician will use tools, be they wands, candles, voodoo dolls, radionics, machines, etc. To help visualize and focus thought forms to be projected, a master magician needs no

tools other than seasoned, perfected imagination. Many cultures call a person who has reached this level a wizard or which I prefer to call practitioner, as a manifestor, and the most apt is a master manifestor. These are people who create their own reality, whatever that entails to some degree each day. Can a master manifesto completely create whatever reality he or she wants, of course, not for that, you

would need the biggest mind in the universe. There are always limitations, since the power of your mind is up against the universal mind or the collective mind of those around you. For example, no matter how proficient you are at manifestation, you will eventually die from the resistance layer or the physical world. This is due to a mind far more powerful than yours alone. Who am I talking about? God? God is not a particular, isolated sentient being. God is

the collective creation. The entire universe is a moving, conscious, active power, and since we are each part of the collective, whatever abilities you possess are also possessed by the universe. Since you are conscious, the universe is also conscious. Since you move and decide, the universe also moves and decides. The design of the universe is the most efficient design

energies moving via the path of least resistance. That is why characteristics of your cells and atoms such as orbits, are present and observable in the highest cycles of the universe. Once again, the little represents the big and the big represents the little. Of course, little and big are completely relative terms. Hence the importance of Einstein's portrayal of relativity.

In our grasp of how all mechanisms work. Since the universe is conscious, if you are aware enough, you can perceive the conscious intent and it will guide you on the mo successful, happy course for your life. Ask and ye shall receive is grounded in this philosophy. The asking must be sincere, defined and persistent. The rate of reception is determined by the mind or minds greater than yours. But the request will eventually be fulfilled within those limitations.

Since the universe is a creator and you are a creation, the ability to create is extended within you. You are also a creator, and that sense the meaning of life is to give life meaning. Every mirror in my house has a piece of paper attached that says, what will I create today? I suggest you attach such a reminder to every mirror and your house as well. Over time you may become a master magician, a master manifest r Okay, So that is the end of chapter three of the

Secret Wisdom of Cocacon. You know what something I've been doing more recently, because again I wrote this in two thousand and eight. I also on mirrors around my house I put a note or a sticker that says you are manifesting, and that's it's a similar thing because it reminds you that right now, whatever you're thinking is like whether it's good or bad, you don't have a choice. Whatever you're thinking, you're putting it out there, okay, and it's it's gonna you know, so be careful what you're

putting out there. And you know, there are people who talk about stuff like the law of attraction, and they say, well that it doesn't make sense that like attracts like because you know, you have magnets in the north pole attracts the opposite. The north pole attracts a south pole, you know, or with electricity, and the negative charge attracts the positive charge. Opposites attract. Well, that doesn't apply to everything.

It certainly doesn't apply where humans are concerned. When it comes to human relationships, people who are in long term relationships, they don't stick together because they're so opposite. They have enough in common that keeps them together. But look at say gravity. The law of attraction is basically another form of how gravity works. It's almost like a spiritual form of gravity. You know. Gravity is about things, you know, being like matter being attracted to itself, which creates form

and keeps everything from just flying apart. But let me point out a couple of things before I get into what this lady what she said she thinks happens when you die. I know, when I read stuff like I've been reading to you, there are people out there who might say, this is fascinating, this is interesting. But I don't. I don't believe this is gonna work for me. I don't.

I don't have enough faith. I don't have enough belief, you know, And then they keep saying things like that, and that's okay, Well, let me let me address this for a second. It is true that faith is an important part of making any positive progress in life. And I say that because you know, some people might say that, well, faith means I'm believing in something without any evidence, But that's not what it means. Faith means that you realize that you can't see the future directly. You just have

to imagine it. So in other words, like if you keep doing the same thing that you're doing right now, then nothing is going to change and progress for you that you're in control of. Eventually external things will come in. And you know, it's like you're either the master of mind or mastered by mind. So if you don't, if you don't change anything for yourself, then nothing's going to change. And if it does change, it's probably going to change in the way that you don't like because you're not

participating in it. But what faith to mean is that you're at a point where you you don't you know, you acknowledge and this is hard to explain, but you acknowledge that you can't see what tomorrow directly, but if you imagine it, you take actions to help that happen. Okay, That's what faith is. And sometimes you do things that are really scary to test your faith, and most of the time you'll find out that when you do that,

I mean, it actually works. And at some point I might do a whole, big, long thing about faith when I'm more prepared to talk about it articulately. But let me specifically address belief though, because there are a lot of misconceptions about like you have to believe in something for it to work. Hogwash. Okay. In my book, and you can download this from my curiosity shop called Finding Your Magic, I talk about this idea here that that there are people who think that belief is the key

to access magical results, and that is a mistake. And some people think, if you just believe in something like that, well that's naive. But belief is extremely overrated. What is you know, what's what's important. What's more important than belief perception. And here's what I mean by that. Take an optical illusion. I have one that I put in the book. I'm looking at it right now. It's a picture and it has these circles on it, and the circles look like

they're spinning. Now they're not. Okay, this is not a cartoon, this is a still image. But I look at that and the circles look like they're spinning. They look that way because it's an optical illusion. Now I know they're not actually spinning. I do not believe they are spinning. But when I see them, regardless of what I know, regardless of what I believe, I see them this spinning. And a lot of the tools that you can use to whip your mind into shape have nothing to do

with whether or not you believe. These tools affect your mind in a certain way. They affect your brain in a certain way that's almost like a placebo kind of effect, and and it makes it makes you. It forces you to be in a mindset that manifests things, and in fact, you also might be surprised. And I have let me you know, I'm going to try to squeeze two or three interesting things in here. There's this guy he wrote this book and uh, let's see, I think it was

eighteen ninety four. Does that sound right? Let me see here, Yeah, eighteen ninety four. This guy named Orson Sweet Martin. He wrote this book called Pushing to the Front, which has been admired by a lot of famous figures throughout history. You know, Teddy Roosevelt and like all you know, all these you have these big, big figures and uh, and he pointed out something that I want to point out to you when we come back from this book that's been around since eighteen ninety four, that I think is

beneficial to just about everybody. And then I'll finally get into like like what this woman said might happen when you die, And then I've got at least one or two other bits of trivia that I want to get into. You know, I'm just I'm just kind of exploring, letting my mind wander here. I'm glad that you're here to explore and let your mind wander along with me. I'm Joshua pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things all on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast damn para Normal podcast Network.

And I will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast am para Normal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren. And in his eighteen ninety four book called Pushing to the Front, which is a long book Warrison Sweat Marden, he wrote, the secret of life is to be ready for opportunity when it comes.

Says quote, there are no longer any chances for good men, complained a youthful law student to Daniel Webster, and Daniel Webster said there was always room at the top. The author says, we look too high for things close by. He's talking about opportunities where you are. He writes, a Baltimore lady lost a valuable diamond bracelet at a ball and supposed that it was stolen from the pocket of

her cloak. Years afterward, she washed the steps of the Peabody Institute, pondering how to get money to buy food. She cut up an old, worn out, ragged cloak to make a hood when low, and the lining of the cloak she discovered the diamond bracelet. During all her poverty, she was worth thirty five dollars but did not know it. And then he tells this story, says, many of us who think we are poor are rich, and opportunities if we can only see them, and possibilities all about us,

and faculties worth more than diamond bracelets. And our large eastern cities. It has been found at least ninety four out of every hundred found their first fortunate home or near at hand, and in meeting common every day wants. It is a sorry day for a young man who cannot see opportunities where he is, but thinks he can do better somewhere else. Some Brazilian shepherds organized a party to go to California to dig gold and took a handful of translucent pebbles along to play checkers with on

the voyage. After arriving in San Francisco, and after they had thrown most of the pebbles away, they discovered that they were diamonds. They hastened back to Brazil only to find that the minds from which the pebbles had been gathered had been taken up by other prospectors and sold

to the government. And he gives, you know, story after story like this, And you know, that's one of the things that I always try to tell people, like, if you're trying to manifest, you know, the most important thing to manifest is health, and it's also the hardest thing to manifest because unfortunately we all have to break down and die and you don't know what that process is going to be like for each of us. But beyond health, yeah, you want wealth, you want money, but you shouldn't always

just try to manifest money directly. You should also think about opportunities that might bring money to you. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can manifest is an idea, an idea, and even if it's if somebody else has had the same idea, maybe you can do it better regardless. Getting back to death, I was listening recently, let's see on March eighth of twenty twenty three to George Norri on

Coast to Coast AM interview Melissa Gates Perry. She is an intuitive channel with a spirit guide named Erra Lamb and she gives readings. Her site is her name Melissa Gates Perry dot com Perry spelled pr ry. And she said at one point that when you die, that everyone, no matter who you are, what you did, no matter if you're a hitler or mother Teresa, everyone goes to the same place at first, which she describes as a

big lobby. And she said, you know, and I don't want to put words in her mouth, but she was basically saying like, it literally looks like a big lobby with like multiple floors and escalators and stairs, and you know, a lot of activity going and everybody goes there to kind of get sorted out. And it was weird because when she said that, I cannot tell you how many

times I have had dream experiences. And I don't know if their dreams or if I'm astrally projecting, but I find myself in something that I would describe like that. It's almost like a big shopping mall slash lobby environment and there's a there are people going up and down, and there's I mean, so she immediately had my attention when she said that that's the first stop. Everybody goes there.

But then she went on to say, once you kind of get sorted, then the next step is, and this is when people talk about heaven and hell, that you have to feel as your lesson. You have to feel everything that you made other people feel as long as that takes. So she said, if you're somebody like Hitler, you made so many people feel so bad, it's going to be a long long time for you to make it through all those people. And so I think you

get the idea. It's like, you know, it's the karma you have to experience every every way you made somebody else feel something all throughout your life. And uh, you know, if you if you think about that for a second, it's kind of chilling, isn't it. But if you but then you know, you know at first that that sounds like true karma. You know for every action there's an

opposite but equal reaction. But then I was like, well, if that, if that, if that's the case, like, does that mean the more people you influenced in general, the longer that takes, Like like celebrities who knew bunches and bunches, they have to go through this longer than some hermit maybe maybe well, or what about overly sensitive people you know, you say something to somebody and you don't mean to offend them and they're just crushed by it. Are you

responsible for feeling that as well? I don't know. It's just food for thought, isn't it. That's just something interesting to think of about. So there you go. I've shared that with you, and uh, you can. You can email me if you have some thoughts on this. And I understand the gist of what she's saying though. Okay, here's some random trivia. I was interviewed recently by a host in England, and I've been to England. Um, I get interviewed a lot in England. I had friends who are

from England. I my wife and I we watch a lot of English programming. And if you're an American, you've probably noticed at some point over the years that English people they mean something different when they say biscuit than we do. Usually, if an English person mentions a biscuit, they're talking about something more like we would call a

cracker or maybe even a cookie. And in this country, when we talk about a biscuit, we're talking about, you know, a nice fluffy, golden pastry that you might have with gravy for breakfast in the morning, or you might cut it in half at some point in the day and treating and turn it into a sandwich, you know, you put a tomato or some meat and cheese in there. And obviously there are a lot of differences between here

and there. But for some reason we started talking about like why biscuit in particular, what's the story behind this vast gulf and biscuit definition between us and the English? So I looked it up. Do you know, here is what the etymology tells us. And honestly, this is a little bit it's still a little bit confusing, at least it is. Maybe that's just me, Okay. So it says the old French word biscuit, which is spelled very similar

b e scu. It is derived from the Latin words biss which means twice and cocked us or cooked us, which means to cook. Therefore, that Latin word biscuit means twice cooked. And this is because the biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process. First they were baked and then dried out in a slow oven, okay, And so this created a hard, a nice, hard little product, and that is what English people call a biscuit. It's a nice, hard,

little crunchy product, and it says also. The Dutch language from around seventeen o three had adopted the word cookie, which is about koe kje cookie, which means little cake, to have a similar meaning for a similar hard baked product. The difference between the secondary Dutch word and that of Latin origin is that, whereas the cookie is a cake that rises during baking, the biscuit, which has no right

raising agent in general, does not. And so it goes on to say, when continental Europeans began to immigrate to colonial North America, the two words and their same but different meanings began to clash. The words cookie or cracker became the words of choice to mean a hard bake product. And therefore, you know, oh boy, let's see here. And then a cookie is a small, flat or slightly raised cake, a biscuits, any of various hard or crisp, dry bake products. Did that make sense to you? I don't know. I

guess I understand a little bit more. But here you go, folks, here is the good fortune ton that's it for this edition of the show.
