Episode 185: The Book of the DAMNED & Charles Fort!

inspired me to present this topic at this time. Right now, as I speak, I have a fat gray rubber frog in a clear display case with dramatic lights shining on it here in my house.

who made the movie Boogie Nights. And this movie has just an all star ensemble cast, Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore. I mean, the list goes on and on, and it's as an epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley. I know that sounds really boring, but the way it's put together is brilliant. So you have all of these separate little adventures that you know

in sagas that people are having. And sorry, here's a spoiler for you, but hey, the movie did come out what twenty five years ago, so if you haven't seen it by now, sorry, At the end, it's almost like all the stories of these characters kind of converge on this one night where there's a lot of drama happening, and then out of the blue, the most unexpected thing in the world happens. There is this rain of frogs

from the sky. It's extremely bizarre, it's very memorable. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it in any other movie. And that was apparently inspired by the work of the American author Charles Fort, who are going to talk about here momentarily. But you know, that whole movie has kind of a bit of a paranormal and

synchronistic thread that runs through it. And so, I, even though I loved the movie, I never I never thought about getting one of those prop frogs, because I'm sure they made thousands of them to drop on the set.

These are physical effects. Okay, this is not cgi. I never thought about getting one of those until recently I was watching online this Hollywood prop auction and one of those things popped up and I was like, well, it caught me off guard, so and it was gone so quickly, I didn't even get a chance to bid on it. But then I went out and I found another one and I bought that one, And so I have this four ten prop. Because work that is sort of inspired by the books of Charles fort are called four ten.

It's spun off into a whole genre, and a lot of people think of his work as being the core of what guys like myself do today. A lot of people consider him to be the godfather of paranormal researchers.

And you know, when I was growing up young, I remember I would read the fourteen Times, which was a publication out of England which was based upon just weird stuff that they called forty and I actually got an article of some kind published in there at one point when I was young, and it was a big honor. And then actually recently I think maybe like last year, I won an award from the fourteen Film Festival in England for a short film that I made, which you

can watch on YouTube called o UFOs. But anyway, back to the Man of the hour. Here Charles Fort. This guy, Okay, he was born. Let's see. He was born on August six of eighteen seventy four in Albany, New York, and he died on May third of nineteen thirty two at the age of fifty seven. Now, this guy, I mean, I'm getting ready to give you his bio of all the weird things that he introduced the world to that are commonplace now. But let me just tell you something

that gave me goosebumps. I started thinking about what I wanted my next podcast to be, and I saw the frog and I go, you know what, I've always wanted to do a thing about Charles Fort, kind of explain to people who he was and why he did and why he did it best I can. And I didn't know, you know, like a lot of the dates and stuff.

So I went and I looked him up, and I saw that he died on May third of nineteen thirty two, and it gave me goosebumps, because then I looked at the calendar and I realized that this podcast was scheduled to be released on May third of twenty twenty four, ninety two years ago he died. He would approve of this. That's what I knew. Like, oh, okay, I meant to put this podcast out on this date, fifty seven years old when he died in the Bronx. I'll tell you

later how he died. You know, if you look at a picture of him, he looks a heck of a lot like Teddy Roosevelt. He's got the spectacles of the mustache and the well groomed, parted hair. And I mean a lot of people who didn't know any better would look at an old black and white picture of Charles Fort and say, yeah, that's Teddy Roosevelt. And his books.

He published a bunch of different books, but his first nonfiction book, the one that made him famous, was called The Book of the Damned, and it's often considered the original classic of paranormal exploration. And on the back of it here it says, welcome to a record of the damned. By damned, wrote Charles Fort and nineteen nineteen, I mean the excluded, Okay, so that's what he's talking about. By damned, I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of

the data that science has excluded. Fort's survey of the Unknown was one of the first to expose modern people to visitors from space, monsters, poultrygeist and floating islands. Frogs fall from the sky, Mysterious airships take flight in an age before the airplane, people disappear, reappear, and spontaneously combust. This volume reintroduces the central and most influential work of Fort's career, in which he pushed us to ask what

is out there. The blurb that they give about his life says he made his life's work the study of unexplained phenomena. And although his writing attracted controversy, Fort was celebrated in The New York Times, et cetera. It says his name was made into an adjective for tien to describe range events a lasting influence on science fiction as well as science. Let me give you a more a little bit more of a thorough bio here from about the author in this book I'm holding in my hands,

called the Book of the Damned. It says he made his life's work the study of unexplained phenomena. After achieving modest success as a short story writer and novelist, Fort began studying a nomalist phenomena, and in nineteen nineteen he published his landmark of paranormal exploration, The Book of the Damned,

which influenced generations of writers. Fort moved to London in nineteen twenty four to consult the archives at the British Museum, then returned to the United States in nineteen twenty six at the New York Public Library. He continued his research into spontaneous combustion, spaceships, poltergeist, and other experiences and events

that had been written off by science. Fort published three additional books on the unexplained, what was called New Lands, the other was called Low l and one was called Wild Talents. So when we come back from our break, I'm going to give you a more detailed overview of how he lived his life. And then, perhaps more importantly, I'm going to actually read to you some portions, some very brief portions of his book, The Book of the Damned. And it's a huge volume, really, it's four hundred pages.

And he had a very particular style of writing. He wrote like a man truly obsessed, Okay, And I mean we're talking about a guy, though, who was so innovative. I mean, he coined the term teleportation. Okay, this came from him, and you know, he used a lot of the phrases that we now consider commonplace, and so it's very interesting to go back and read some of his

actual words. So we're going to do that when we come back, and I'll help you understand a little bit more about, you know, not only sort of this godfather of modern day paranormal research, but also sort of how we are not actually perhaps as advanced as we think we are. There were people like Ford thinking about these same strange mysteries so long ago and doing it in a very insightful and thoughtful way. I also want to point out that this podcast usually comes out every Friday afternoon,

and the time may vary a little bit. But now what I try to do is on Friday send out my e newsletter and let everybody know, hey, here the new podcast is out. But I don't always get a chance to do that. Sometimes I'm too busy, or there's been a technical snepho, or I mean I'm out of town. So just because you don't get the email from me, because some people say, hey, where's your show? I didn't get your email, that doesn't mean that there isn't a

new show. So whether or not you get an email from me always go to Strange thingsshow dot com and you'll find a link to various places where you can listen to the show.

a silver. A Gietato Zume and I have a feeling that Charles Fort was speaking to me from the grave, from the spirit realm, and inspiring me to present this podcast for you that is being released on the anniversary of his death. Let me tell you a little bit more about how he lived his life. Charles Hoy Fort born in Albany, New York, eighteen seventy four of Dutch ancestry.

His father, a grocer, was an authoritarian, and in his unpublished autobiography, Fort mentions the physical abuse that he endured from his father. One of Fort's biographers suggested that his distrust of authority began in his treatment as a child. Fort devi out a strong sense of independence during his early years. As a young adult, he wanted to be a naturalist, collecting seashells, minerals, and birds, and although he was described as curious and intelligent, he was not a

good student. He was self taught, but his knowledge was considerable, and he did an enormous amount of extensive reading at age eighteen, Fort left New York to embark on a world tour to quote put some capital in the bank of experience end quote. He traveled through the Western United States, Scotland, and England until becoming ill in Southern Africa. When he returned home, he was nursed by Anna Filing, whom he

had known since childhood. Well then he married her. They were married on October twenty sixth of eighteen ninety six at an Episcopal church. For a few years, the newly married couple lived in poverty in the Bronx while Fort tried to earn a living writing stories for newspapers and magazines, and in nineteen oh six he began to collect accounts of anomalies. His uncle, Frank died in nineteen sixteen, and a modest inheritance gave Fort enough money to quit his

various day jobs in write full time. In nineteen seventeen, his brother Clarence died and his portion of the same inheritance was divided between Fort and his other brother, Raymond. Fort's experience as a journalist, coupled with his wit and nature, prepared him for his real life work ridiculing the pretentiousness

of scientific positivism. Positivism. So what that means is it's a tendency of journalists and editors and you know, editors of newspapers and science journals to rationalize things instead of taking at face value what they have, what they've found, the data. And so he, you know, he wrote a few short stories and tried his hands at novels, and then he actually would often get discouraged and burn his manuscripts.

But the book that changed his life, The Book of the Damned, his first nonfiction book, came out in nineteen nineteen, and after that he kept writing nonfiction. It was a very successful book. Fort and Anna lived intermittently in London between nineteen twenty and twenty eight so Fort could carry out research in the reading room of the British Museum, and although born in Albany, he lived most of his

life in the Bronx. He was, like his wife, fond of movies, and often took her from their Ryer Avenue apartment to a movie theater nearby, stopping at an adjacent newsstand for an armful of various newspapers. He frequented the parks near the Bronx, where he would sit and sift through piles of clippings. He often wrote the subway down to the main public library on Fifth Avenue, where he spent many hours reading scientific journals, newspapers, and periodicals from

around the world. Ford also had literary friends who gathered at various apartments, including his own, to drink and talk. Here's how he died. Suffering from poor health and failing insight. Fort was pleasantly surprised to find himself the subject of a cult following people started sending him stories, but slowly he started feeling worse and more ill. I don't know exactly what his symptoms were, but he didn't trust doctors and he did not seek medical help for his failing health.

Insaid He Around this time was focusing on writing his book called Wild Tout Talents, and he finally collapsed on May third of nineteen thirty two. Was rushed to the Royal Hospital, and later that same day Fort's publisher visited him to show him the advanced copies of Wild Talents. Four hours later, Fort died, probably of leukemia. He was interred in the Fort family plot in Albany, New York. How about that the last thing you got to see

was this book that he worked himself to death. Over for more than thirty years, Charles Fort visited libraries in New York City in London, assidiously reading scientific journals, newspapers, magazines, collecting notes on phenomena that were not explained well by the accepted theories and beliefs of the time. He took thousands and thousands of notes during his lifetime, and sometimes in his note taking he would get depressed, discouraged, burn

his work, start all over again. And when you look at his actual writing, and I have copies of all of his books, but this is the first one, the Book of the Damned, And again it's huge when you read his books, and I'm going to read you some passages. In my opinion, he wrote like a man, like I said, he wrote like a man truly obsessed. Though his prolific books are filled with a procession of specific citations of sources, names, and dates, his writing style is also kind of rambling

and bloated. It's not necessarily the easiest thing to read. But in his commentary he's digging as deep as he can below the surface of reality and the psyche and vast ancient cosmic mysteries and exploring the relationship between it all. So he was obviously a kind of genius, and he was talking about all these things that seemed impossible in a time before anybody knew about quantum physics, which now

kind of states that, well, anything is possible. In his book here, Book of the Damned, one of the things he starts out by saying, is about one hundred years ago, if anyone was so credulous as to think that stones had ever fallen from the sky like meteorites, he was reasoned with, in the first place, there are no stones of the sky. Therefore no stones can fall from the sky, or nothing more reasonable or scientific or logical than that

could be said upon any subject. The only trouble is the universal trouble that the major premise is not real, or is intermediate somewhere between realness and unrealness. Then he goes on to talk about this scientist in seventeen seventy two who was going out and studying stones that had supposedly fallen from the sky hot stones, and said, look, there are no stones of the sky, so there's no

way that stones can fall. Fort says, this man believed that only lightning striking a stone and heating it and melting it could be explained. The scientist named Levosier said, quote, this absolutely proved the stone had not fallen, but had been struck by lightning. So authoritatively, falling stones were damned, and that's the way it was for many, many years. And he uses this as an example of the problem

with a lot of scientific dogma. And he talks mainly throughout this book about everything you can imagine falling from the sky, and of course he starts with stones, but he works into flesh and slime and coins, and just like everything you can imagine. He says, the living things that have come down to this earth and attempts to preserve them. Small frogs and toads, for instance, never have fallen from the sky. But we're on the ground in

the first place. But that there have been such falls up from one place in a whirlwind and down in another does not make complete sense. And he goes on to talk about if there were just like water spouts that were picking up, say, frogs, and then dumping them down somewhere else out of the sky, how come there would be no tadpoles. He says, there's not one report of tadpoles, and he actually says there's not one report of gigantic frogs either, just a very particular type of

frog gets picked up. And he's perplexed by this. Why that you know you don't have tadpoles being picked up. As he continues to go into this, I mean we're already into page one ninety four, he writes, our antagonism is not to science, but to the attitude of the sciences that they have finally realized, or to belief instead of acceptance, to the insufficiency, which, as we have seen over and over amounts to paltriness of scientific dogmas and standards.

Or if several persons start out to Chicago and get the Buffalo and one be under the delusion that Buffalo is Chicago, that one will be a resistance to the progress of the others. Very important point of view there and again he writes in a weird way, at least reading it all these years later, but he says, the problem is not science, but the attitude of sciences that have become beliefs or dogmas. Okay, we come back. We're

going to get into some very weird footprints. Giants and that kind of thing which has a special connection to where I am right now here in Nevada. As a matter of fact, as we explore some of the thoughts and the ways of thinking of the great Charles Fort. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,

and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast. I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah, it's not easy to read the prolific works of Charles Fort.

As a matter of fact, one of his critics named Wilson, called Fort's writing style quote atrocious and almost unreadable, and yet despite his objections to Fort's prose, he allowed that quote the facts are certainly astonishing enough, though end quote also said, there's the feeling that no matter how honest scientists think they are, they are still influenced by various

unconscious assumptions that prevent them from attaining true objectivity. So Fort's principle goes something like people with a psychological need to believe in marvels are no more prejudiced and gullible than people with a psychological need not to believe in marvels. And sure enough, I mean, that's what saves Charles Fort's work is just this incredible sourcing in citation, and the things that he was writing about, most of them turned

out to be legitimate stuff. I mean, we've verified frogs do rain, and we still don't know exactly why that happens, side to say, probably water spouts or you know, something like that, but it still doesn't explain the tadpole thing. Examples of the stuff that Fort referred to as would be considered you know, occult, supernatural, paranormal. Again, he invented

the word teleportation. He talked about falls of all kinds of things, organic and inorganic, spontaneous human combustion, ball lightning, that's a term that he used a lot. He talked

about poultergeists, levitation, UFOs unexplained disappearances, the extraterrestrial hypothesis. And this is really interesting going back to his book, listen to what he says, this guy had he had the wherewithal to write this back in those days, after he's been talking for almost two hundred pages about weird stuff.

He says, quote, I think we are property. I should say we belong to something that once upon a time this earth was no man's land, that other worlds explored and colonized here and fought among themselves for possession, but then now owned by something, That something owns this earth.

All others warned off. I suspect that, after all we are useful, that among contesting claimants, adjustment has occurred, or that something now has a legal right to us by force or by having paid out analogs of beads for us to former more primitive owners of us. All others off that all this has been known, perhaps for ages to certain ones upon this earth, accult or order, members of which function like bellweathers to the rest of us, or as superiors or overseers, directing us in accordance with

instructions received from somewhere else in our mysterious usefulness. But I accepted, in the past, before proprietorship was established, inhabitants of a host of other worlds have dropped here, hopped here, wafted, sailed, flown, motored, walked here, for all I know, been pulled here, been pushed, have come singly, have come in enormous numbers, have visited occasionally, have visited periodically for hunting, trading, replenishing, harems, mining, have

been unable to stay here, have established colonies here, have been lost here far advanced peoples or things and primitive peoples or whatever they were. Well, then he brings this up. He's talking about some of the weird, you know, fossils, and he says, how about the footprints and the sandstone near Carson, Nevada. Each print eighteen to twenty inches long. That's according to the American Journal of Science. He gives a citation. He says, these footprints are very clear and

well defined. Reproduction of them in the journal blah blah blah. The size of the size of these foot Prince, and especially the width between the right and left series, are strong evidence they were not made by men, as has been so generally supposed. That's interesting because just recently there was an article in the New York Post a follow up on that story. Hopefully I'll have time to read that to you. Moving round along, he.

and they reported it to the captain. According to Captain Banner, it was a cloud of circular form with an included semicircle divided into four parts, the central dividing shaft beginning at the center of the circle and extending far outward curving backward. Don't worry if that didn't makes sense to you, because I'm going to explain in a second. There's an illustration.

So there's this big, weird gray thing. It says geometricity and complexity and stability, and the small likelihood of a cloud maintaining such diversity of features, to say nothing of appearance of organic form. The thing traveled from a point at about twenty degrees above the horizon to a point about eighty degrees above. Then it settled down to the northeast. It was light gray in color, much lower than the clouds.

Whatever it was, it traveled against the wind. It came up obliquely against the wind, and finally settled down right in the wind's eye. For half an hour the form was visible, and when it finally disappeared, that was not because it disintegrated like a cloud, but because it was lost to sight in the evening darkness. And Captain Banner drew this picture of it, and honestly, it looks this thing. It looks kind of like a stingray. There's a circle

and then there's sort of a hooked tail. You could almost use your imagination and say it reminds you a bit of the starship Enterprise. But it definitely has this very weird circular shape that you know, you could describe as being like a saucer with an antenna or something. But you know, that's going back to when I say, eighteen seventy so in conclusion of this massive, massive book, I think this is one of the most significant lines that he wrote. It's just one sentence if a single

instance of anything be disregarded by a system. Our own attitude is that a single instance is a powerless thing. So he's saying, if if just one instance of this stuff is true, but we just blow it off because we you know, well we can't explain it. Well, then our attitude is that a single instances has no power. Well, that doesn't make sense, does it. And this shows you the incredibly complex mindset that this guy had back then regarding how to understand, how to understand I guess the

flaws and the limitations of the scientific method. And just last month in the New York Post, there was this article here that fort would would love to have read, and it says scientists still baffled from giant human skeletons up to ten feet tall decades after initial discovery. This was written by Snajana Farbarov, published April fourth of twenty

twenty four. A series of mysterious giant skeletons up to ten feet tall, reportedly discovered in and around the Vatic Caves last century, dubbed the Giants of Lovelock, are still baffling scientists decades later. The claims about supersized humans who roam the area around Lovelock, a remote town ninety miles northeast of Reno, thousands of years ago are rooted in Native American lore, which tells a fierce, redheaded, pale skinned giant to arrive from Central America by boat and attack

local tribes. And of course it talks about how that these were cannibals, they were eating the natives, so they

were all going to war. And finally, one day, all of these these Native Americans, they were able to surround this cave and burn them all to death inside that cave, says The first foray into the Lovelock Cave was made in nineteen eleven, when a pair of miners searching for guano or bat excrement allegedly unearthed sixty human skeletons, some between seven and eight feet tall, but nobody knows what

happened to these remains. However, two subsequent excavations were carried out in nineteen twelve and nineteen twenty four and brought to light thousands of ancient artifacts, among them a well worn sandal measuring and astonishing fifteen inches in length, which is the equivalent of a modern day size twenty nine shoe. For comparison. NBA star Shaquille O'Neill, who stands seven feet one wears size twenty two shoes. So Shaquille O'Neill wears twenty two and they were pulling shoes out of there

twenty nine inches long. They actually have these on display in the museum. Radio carbon dating has placed some of these bone fragments and material back to twenty thirty and VC. When we come back, I want to tell you about an experiment you can participate in. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 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. Larren. And what do you think about Charles fort saying that he thinks we are owned, that we are property? Sure feels that way to me a lot. How about you? I would explain a lot. And how funny it is to think of, you know, all those years ago when he was writing that studying this stuff in the eighteen hundreds.

I mean, this is long before we had even thought about going to the Moon or getting satellites out there, and he felt that way even then. Is a lot of what we just see an illusion. You know, I have this story, and I've probably told you this before. Just forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but I just it always seems so appropriate to bring this up when

I talk about these weird four tea and phenomena. Years ago, I was hired to be a consultant for a Warner Brothers major motion picture called The Apparition, and as part of that, I shot a bunch of DVD extras and like Blu Ray extras, and at one point this was

a horror movie. So they flew me to Los Angeles where they were filming in that area, and they wanted me to be on the actual movie set, and then they were going to interview me about the non fiction part of ghosts and apparitions while you could see the fictional movie being filmed in the background. So I'm just off on the side of the set kind of watching things, and I had let's see, there was Ashley Green in it, and Sebastians stand and they were running around screaming and stuff.

But anyway, so at one point here I am out in sort of this country area in you know, southern California, and they had apparently gone out and rented somebody's house for this shoot. And it's in the middle of a really big yard at the end of a long driveway. And at one point I'm watching this giant crew. There's hundreds of people milling around on this crew. It's at night time and they're setting up all this complex life. And at one point, this woman who I guess was

a lighting lady. She she comes walking up and she looks down at this rock on the ground and she gets very she looks very perplexed, and she says to this grip, do you know if that's a real rock or a prop rock? Because if that's a real rock, then I want to move it. But if it's a prop rock, well I don't want to touch it. And the rip says, geez, I don't know. Let me go get the set supervisor. Okay, So we wait around and then so the set supervisor comes back. Is this a real rock or a prop rock?

sitting in the yard outside this house. And that's why people in show business are so often out of touch with reality. That is a very good example though, of how can you know how confused we can get about what's real and what's not living in this day and age, especially with we you know, we have cyber tech and AI and holograms, and you know how much of this is real? How much of this is just some big matrix that we're wandering around in. I think that may

be the key, of course, to how manifestation works. And so I've been teasing this for a little while. Those of you who bought an electrom ring are going to be invited, and I'm inviting you right now to participate in an experiment with me. This is only for those of you who have an electron ring. Because if you bought an electron ring, it's not only a physical thing, it also makes you a member of a club which

we call the electron ring. So if you have an electron ring, you are a member of the electron ring. And here is what I would like for you to do on Thursday of May thirtieth of twenty twenty four, and you write this down somewhere, okay, on Thursday of May thirtieth, Thursday, May thirtieth of twenty twenty four, at five pm New York time. That's just a reference point for you, okay, So whatever the time is for you,

Like for me, it'll be was that two pm? Yeah, so that'll be two pm for me and five pm in New York. If you have an electron ring, put it on, make a fist. Sit there, close your eyes, and I want you to think about their UFOs appearing all around the world. Over the next three days, we're going to try this as an experiment. We're going to work our chops here and see if we the electroum ring can create a lot of UFO sidings when we

all focus together on our rings. So here's what you have to do again, Thursday May thirtieth, twenty twenty four, five pm. Take a moment, you know, a couple of minutes. Put on your ring and sit there and envision it and meditate on it, and then let's see what happens the next few days. If you forget about it and you're like, oh man, I missed it, it's not five pm, that's okay, just do it sometime that day if you can't do it at five, But five is our center

point that we're working with. Okay, we'll see what happens. Why I put this out there, the whole world's going to be able to see. And I'll send you an e newsletter and remind you about this as well. But if this works out for us, then we're going to do bigger and better things. I'll read you an email. I got real quick when it comes to manifestation. This came to me from a woman named Gloria. She says, Dear Joshua, I was so excited to learn of you

on the Jeff Mara podcast. I was so happy to see your sacred geometry manifesting sigils, and how generous you were to let us copy them. So after I looked at them On Monday, a cheese truck turned over near our town of one hundred and twenty one people, and people were telling us they were giving away free cheese, so we got some and took some around to our friends. The next day, someone ran into a takeito truck and spilled some on the highway, so they got some of

those for free. Then my husband found a one hundred dollars bill on the floor, and let's see, told the boss she dropped it, and she gave it to him and told told him to give it to me for helping her. Okay, she says, Then I got paid for painting some windows. Blah blah blah. She goes on to say, now she's gotten this other amazing job to build out a garden. She's saying, you are right, Blessings can come

in so many different forms. I thought about putting the sigils on an abandoned building so the people can see them as they pass us and be blessed too. And I haven't forgot about what you said about sharing either. Need a little more time. Your friend Glorious and I wrote her Gloria and I wrote her back, and I said, well, I'm glad that you know all this good stuff's happening and you're getting free cheese and takitos. But I hope

the folks on the truck were okay. You know what a scary people like one of those you know, monkey paw things. Well they all died on the truck, but we got free cheese. No, no, I'm sure everybody was fine. So you see, that's the attitude. That's what I try

to tell people. When you get into this manifestation stuff, don't fix eight too strongly on exactly how you think things are going to manifest, because if you do that, you limit the options the universe can give you to bring things to you, often in ways that you could have never imagined on your own. And if you want to experiment with different ways to manifest, that's why the best thing you can do is just go to Joshua Pwarren dot com and just start clicking around. You'll find

free siguls there that you can experiment with. Go to the Curiosity Shop. Even if you're not going to buy anything, it's interesting. Sometimes you can just look at these inventions in the Curiosity Shop and that will inspire you, and that will actually make you want to that'll give you ideas, and sometimes you can start manifesting things just because you

start thinking about the objects in the Curiosity Shop. People write me and tell me about that kind of stuff all the time, and of course if you do buy something from there, you're supporting the show and you're keeping us in business. So here's something that I always like to do if I have time to end the show on a positive note. It's a free show. And this is a free vibration that I created in my laboratory years ago and it has done a lot of good for a lot of people around the world. It's called

the Good Fortune Tone. And you know what, you can just close your eyes and take a deep breath and relax and listen to it. It's like twenty seconds long. Or if you have a beverage, you might want to put the beverage next to your speaker and then when you drink the beverage, maybe you'll drink in the good vibes. So here it is, my friends, the Good Fortune Tone.
