Tuesday Fun Afternoon Stream

Hi guys, do you hear me?

Okay. I couldn't fall

asleep. My lighter. Hold

on. Got

it. Hi guys.

Come on

in. Hello.

How are we doing

today? Yeah. So, like I said, I just

woke up with this weird thing on my arm.

I don't know how it

happened. If I did, if I was to do this

myself, I would certainly be more

creative than what actually happened. I

don't know. Maybe I like woke up in the

middle of the night and walked into my

radiator or

something. But it's pretty pathetic.

People think I'm trying to do that kind

of stuff for attention. I just I just

share my life. I don't know what

happened. All I can think of is I have

this

heater. Must have walked into it or

something in the middle of the night.

Not

remember. How we doing today? How we

doing? How you doing? How you doing?

Uh, come on in, guys. I didn't see

anybody else on really

streaming, but I thought, what the hell?

I'll come

over. Yeah, but it's really

weird. Super

weird. So, how we doing

today? Nice. Tuesday, May 20th. 5:20.

Go ahead and shout out in the chat if

you're

here. I should get my

sorry should get my phone ready. I need

to do some modding.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to be

like a little bit more strict on who I

allow into my

space. You know, I'm like a forgiving

person. I'll let everybody in. I get I

probably probably let Sig on and kicked

him off maybe a hundred

times. I don't know why I keep having

them

on. I certainly like him more than he

likes me and I

don't it's not saying very

much. I'm not a hateful

person. Yeah, it's kind of lame how

people some people act.

Hey, Pockets. How are you? Good to see

you. Might do some trivia

today if anyone's

interested. Trivia tarot.

Like I'm just being encouraged so by so

many encouraged in the negative by so

many

people. It just keeps me going. Let your

haters be your motivators,

right? A big old pile of cards.

Okay.

Okay. What is the world's largest and

heaviest mammal? I don't know if I read

that before. But the world's largest and

heaviest

mammal. What do you think, guys? I think

I might have seen that question last. I

don't think I asked,

but maybe we'll save trivia for a little

later. What's up, guys? Thank you for

being here. We now have the comments

coming on the screen.

Ouch. I just don't know what happened. I

do need some antiseptic. Hopefully, it's

it'll be

okay. So,

Hey

KZ. Oh, did I pin the link yet? No. Pin

it. Um, I didn't res I mean, I didn't

really I just ended because I was like

going to go to sleep maybe, but I got

tired. Last time I fell asleep, I woke

up with a burn on my arm. So kind of

freaked

out. Most most everybody's welcome up

though. A few

exceptions. Just chilling. I got here

with

tricks. He's just chilling. Chilling

like a

villain. So, what's up for today?

I don't

know. Sleep in vampire hours right now.

I don't know. It's kind of like It's

weird being awake when the sun's up.

Been having some just like wake at night

sleep during the

day. It's a little bit warm. It's a bit

warm right

now. So, let's change the color. Let me

change the

color. Change the color a little bit.

What color should we be

today? Oh, that's nice. That bright

green. A little

darker.

Lighter. It's fun to play around with

it.

Purple. Hey, what's

up? No, I don't want to show my I don't

want to show my arm because I'm just

seeing it because Oh, wait. I already

showed it earlier.

It's kind of like blistering a little

bit. I take down my arm.

Well, if I take down a stream, there's

probably a reason. I probably felt

uncomfortable with some things somebody

said. But on my life, I have no idea how

that how that happened. I have no

idea. I certainly would not have

purposely done anything like

that. Oh, I saw I

saw I allow her streaming. It's fine.

Yeah, if you want to see it, you can go

to her stream and watch it.

You think she put a curse on

me? Join the

club. That's so much evil eye thrown at

me. I know how to deal with it

though. Seems the

type I really believe. I mean, yeah,

cursing. It's like the the real cursing

just happens in like your own mind. It's

like you people people will uh say

things and then you'll basically curse

yourself because you'll you'll believe

the you'll believe what they

say. So I'm very skeptical. What's up

Swami? I'm very skeptical about um

believing what people say. So there's a

lot of people that are just trying to

stir

up, bring me

down. Can't let it get to me.

Hi Adam, how are you? Good to see you.

Hi

Swami. Hey the loser

KZ just

chilling painting up there.

original artwork. Okay, my

packages. I like your I like your crow.

I like the

crow. Guys, we don't Here's what's not

going to happen. I'm not going to lose

my positive attitude. I'm not going to

lose my loving heart. About to start

work. I hope you have a great

day. I'm a Capricorn. Capricorns just

don't give up so

easy. You'll keep

going. Yes. Positive

energy. I'm still standing. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Everything is temporary, right?

This this two shall pass. My father

would

say I don't know where everyone is

today. A little bit quiet this morning.

I know it's Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday

11:15 Los

Angeles. Uh everything's temporary

except you know

existence. I believe in a permanent

existence. I've been somewhere before

this. I'll be somewhere after

this. The key is to get to good places.

I'm in a pretty good place right

now. Just feels like a kidney stone.

Well, that's painful. That's

painful. So hopefully it's a little bit

less

painful passing a kidney stone. I've

never had one

actually, but I feel sorry for people

that have because it's like a little

rock coming through your pee pee hole.

Ouchie. I drink a lot of coffee though.

I do drink a lot of coffee and I'm

surprised I haven't had one, but it does

like, you know, coffee does have a lot

of calcium

or you see the coffee pot. You get all

that white grime on it. Probably the

same on your insides for that. Oh, there

we go. Hold

on. There we

go. Oh, yeah. I don't really care if

people laugh with me or laugh at me as

long as they're

laughing. I think laughter is a good

medicine. So, I bring entertainment to

people. Love me or hate me. I That's why

I love Sassy Scarlet. Love or hate. Hit

the like

port. I should program that on my

Nightbot.

All I have is this right

now. That's all I can remember right

now. Nightbot's pretty cool though. How

are you guys doing? Good to see you.

Let's get a positive message for

today. This says this. I'll do a couple

here. This says, "What can I do to make

a difference?"

Okay. Beautiful blue feathers. I love

the spotted blue feathers.

So it says, "What can I do to make Oh,

hold on. What can I do to make a

difference?" Says, "What keeps you up at

night? What makes you cringe unless you

What makes you cringe when you think

about it such that every ounce of you

screams no more? What can you create per

where can you create purpose out of your

pain?" So today's soul action is make a

difference in someone's life today, big

or small, because all of it makes a

difference. Okay, the other card that

came out with that is, "Do I surround

myself with people that lift me up?"

What a good card. What an appropriate

card for

today. The people with whom we surround

ourselves determine who will become.

Wow, this is this is hitting me right

now. Does your tribe fill you up? Do

they inspire you? Do they believe in

you? Do they help you step into your

greatest potential? Today's soul action.

Make a desire list of the type of people

with whom you wish to surround yourself

and clarify if there is anyone in your

life who no longer serves you. Can you

love them from a distance? Yeah. Even if

I block you or I don't associate with

you anymore, I still love you. I still

love you from a distance. I know

everybody's had stuff in their life that

has been difficult. Everyone's been a

survivor. If you're here this long,

you're a survivor, right? So, I don't um

I don't hate anybody. I will love you

from a distance,

though. That's just for my own my own uh

well-being cuz some people have been

hurt and they want to hurt other people

and I just can't allow people just to

keep hurting

me. So,

But I have nothing against I have

nothing against

anybody. People have been through their

own trauma. People That's the thing

though. It's like hurt people hurt

people,

right? But also hurt people can heal

people. Hurt there's something called

the wounded healer. I think it was

Chiron. I can tell you the story of

Chiron.

Chiron's an interesting story tell

you. He's u there's also in the

astrology there's there's a Chiron

placement and if you check out your

Chiron placement it can show you where

in your past life you had a w a wound

and this wound may cause you to act out

in certain ways but also if you learn

how to heal the wound you can also help

other people heal because a lot of

people are hurt in the same way. I'll

tell you the story of Chiron

though. Okay, Chiron is a wounded

healer. Okay, so this is the myth of

Chiron the wounded healer. I love

telling myths. It says in the Iliad,

Homer calls Chiron the wisest and

justest of all centaurs. No centaur like

Sagittarius, right? said, "Faded to be

overthrown by his ch by one of his

children, Kronos, the godhead of the

Titans, devour them all upon their

birth." In desperation, his wife Rehea

hid their sixth child, Zeus, on the

island of Cree. As Kronis searched earth

and sky for Zeus, he came upon the

Oianid

Filera, after whom he

lusted. To hide from Rya, he took the

form of a stallion and mounted Fyra. In

due course, Fyra gave birth. So Philly

Rob like Philly like Philly is like a

horse,

right? Um also Phillip means then Philip

means

love but I don't know if she's

associated with a horse but he did. He

turned into a horse and due to course

Ferra gave birth with great pain to a

child named Chiron. With the upper body

of a man and lower body of a horse,

seized with shame and disgust at the

sight of the monster, she abandoned him

on Mount Pelion in

Thessal. Fortunately, Chiron was found

and reared by Apollo, who taught him the

healing, arts, music, and prophecy,

while Apollo's twin sister, Artemis,

taught him archery, and

hunting. Chiron excelled in every field.

It is sometimes said that he invented

pharmacy, medicine, and surgery.

Indeed, the name Chiron means hand from

Greek Kyer or skilled with the hands as

is related to our surgeon Ky

Aragon

handworker. For his leaning and temper,

for his learning and temperament, Chaire

was highly sought as a tutor. His pupils

included many of the greatest heroes

included Perseus, Thesius, Jason, the

Telmonian, Ajax, Ajax the Great,

Patrick, and of course, Achilles. Chiron

had a special bond with Achilles, having

advised Pelus, his father, how to win

over his mother,

Thetus. Wounded in his thigh by one of

Paris's arrows, "Your your Repliius,

leader of the Thessalonians of the

Trojan War," cried out to Patrick, "I

want to cut out this arrow from my

thigh. Wash off the blood with warm

water and spread soothing ointment on

the wound. They say you have some

excellent prescriptions that you learned

from Achilles, who was taught by

Chiron." When pregnant by Apollo, the

Thessalonian princess Coronis let

herself be seduced by the mortal Iscus.

For this, Artemis unalived Cronis with

her family and her family with a reign

of

arrows. But by performing the first ever

Cesareian section, Apollo rescued their

unborn child from the funeral p and

handed it to Chiron to be raised. That

child was Esclippius, the god of

medicine.

Whereas the centaurs were notorious for

their unbridled lust and violence,

Chiron, the foster child of Apollo, was

all culture and restraint. Unlike other

centaurs, he was often depicted clothed

rather than naked and with human rather

than ecquin legs. As half-brother to

Zeus, he came from a completely

different line from other centaurs who

were born of Ixion and Nefel. What's up,

Prairie Ghost? Ken, how are you? It's

talking about Chiron, the wounded

healer.

It says the death of

Chiron. During his fourth labor to

capture

the Armanthian boar, Heracles Hercules

visited the centaur Folus in his cave.

When Folus opened the bottle of wine

he'd been gifted by Dionasis, the

intense bouquet attracted the other

centaurs and drove them into a frenzy.

Hercules defended the cave by firing

arrows dipped in the blood of the

Lernerian Hydra, which he had killed or

unalived on his second labor. Coffee?

Got some coffee?

good. One of the arrows struck Chiron,

who although friendly with Hercules, had

been caught in the melee. For all his

knowledge and skill, Chiron was unable

to heal his wound, which became

unbearably painful. But being the

immortal son of Cronis, neither was he

able to die. In the end, he or Hercules

struck a bargain with Zeus, whereby he

would exchange his immortality for the

freedom of Prometheus. Hey, what's up,

Paige?

who had been bound for all eternity to a

rock for stealing fire from the gods and

delivering it from humankind. Delivering

it to humankind. Every day an eagle

pecked out Prometheus's immortal liver

only to grow it back overnight. After

Chiron's death, Zeus at long last freed

Prometheus and fixed Chiron in the

firmament as a constellation Sagittarius

or

Centaurus. It says Chiron is a twice

wounded once at birth and again towards

the end of his life. The first wound is

a deep emotional wound that comes from

being a child

of of something who was rejected by by

one of his both of his parents. He's

literally a monster and now an orphan

and an outcast. Being half man, half

animal, Chiron embodies a conflict in

all of us between the animal instincts

and reason or or divinity between the

dion wildness of the other centaurs and

the Apollinian light and order of the

foster father.

Yet he falls firmly on the Apollonian

side and in many respects outshines the

god of light, mastering and even

furthering their arts and sciences,

technist in an attempt to compensate for

his early rejection and prove both to

himself and others that he too is worthy

of love and

acceptance. A similar pattern can be

discerned in uh in the other rejected

god Heestus cast out of Olympus by his

mother Hera on account of his deformity.

Despite this, or rather because of this,

Hphesus as a blacksmith of the gods,

spends his life creating objects of

great beauty and utility, such as

Helios's chariot, Hermes winged helmet

and sandals and Achilles armor. Aphesus

even gets the girl marrying Aphrodite,

the goddess of love. Chiron turns in

particular to the healing arts as a

means of healing himself. And not only

himself, but others, too. He shines the

light, giving to others that which he

himself most needs or needed, rather

than allowing the original wound to

fester. He finds within it a source of

motivation, even of inspiration, that

leads him to great insight and

achievement. This in turn invites, or

rather imposes a sense of purpose and

service or duty that enobles and

enriches his life in ways that other

centaurs could not even begin to

imagine. In the words of Persian poet

and mystic room, "Your doctor must have

a broken leg to doctor. Your defects are

the ways that glory gets manifested.

Whoever sees clearly what's diseased in

himself begins to gallop on the way.

Don't turn your head. Keep looking at

the bandage place. That's where the

light enters

you." Tai is live. I Oh, I may. In the

meaning of madness, I argue that mental

disorders are in particular are not just

problems. If successfully navigated,

they also present opportunities. Simple

awareness of this can empower people to

heal themselves and much more than that

to grow, live through their

experiences. Chiron's second wound is

caused by the super ego represented by

Hercules. Battling against the id

represented by the centaurs riled up by

the Dionian wine. Instead of reconciling

himself with the dark side, Hercules

desperately fights against it,

potentially hurting himself and others

in the process. Hello

as he does to his friend

Chiron. Chiron's stoical decision to die

in the face of unbearable and incurable

pain, especially in light of his

immortality, raises profound and

surprisingly modern ethical questions

about euthanasia and the desiraability

of immortality. Questions that have

never been more pertinent than

today. Yeah, that's awesome,

Joker.

Yep. Chiron is a rare, if not unique,

instance of a god who dies and much more

than that chooses to die. unlike say

Jesus. But even in dying, he gives

himself up to another. Just like he sub

um sublimes his life into wisdom, art

and love, so he sublimed his death into

an act of service and sacrifice. And it

is fitting to Chiron sacrifice is to a

god is so similar to himself. A great

friend of humankind and wounded for it.

Wounded like we all are for bridging the

divide between the mortal and divine.

This is the second wound. The wound in

our mortal body, the wound that will not

heal. And so the story of Chiron is a

story of how we might be able to cope

with the psychological distress and in

inelectable physical defeat that is part

and parcel of the human condition. It's

not the Bible. It's Greek mythology.

Says, "Here's how Roomie ended his poem.

Don't turn your head. Keep looking at

the bandage place. That's where the

light enters you. And don't believe for

a moment that you're healing yourself.

pretty

profound. Not the Bible, but it's it's

uh there's there's parallels. There's a

lot of parallels to, you know, the Bible

was actually written in

Greek. Hey, Jim John. Hey,

Simon. Although it's Greek mythology,

but I think the Bible in a way is

mythology as well. Maybe maybe Hebrew

mythology. You like that? Thank you.

Yeah, there's a lot of good information.

And so my Chiron is in Taurus in the

sixth house, I think. And so that would

if I look at

Chiron

Taurus,

Taurus 6th

house. And you can guys, you can go to

like astro.com and look up your own

Chiron placement.

And so here's what mine says. It says

Chiron and Taurus in the sixth house

suggest suggest a unique set of

challenges and potential for healing

related to self-worth, stability, and

daily

routines. It says difficulty

establishing selfworth and security. It

highlights a core wound about feeling

inherently valuable and capable of

providing for oneself.

struggles with material stability. This

man manifests his anxieties about

finances, resources, or feeling like

one's basic needs are not being met.

Need for self-acceptance and valuing

inner resources. Healing involves

learning to appreciate one's own unique

talents and finding inner stability

rather than relying solely on external

value or material possessions.

So it says healing comes through in

developing a strong sense of self-worth

that is not tied to material possessions

or external

validation. Have I read the emerald

tablets? Yes. Well, I know

basically

I know there's like more than one, but I

know that you know um as above so below.

The sun is the father. The moon is the

the moon is the mother. The earth is the

nursemaid. I'll read up. It's actually

not not too

long. I'll read you the emerald tablet.

It's called the emerald tablet of

th or Hermes trismus.

Right.

Okay. It's called the highest knowledge.

So, let me see. Emerald

Tablet both.

Okay. See if I can find it. It says,

"True it is without

falsehood. Certain and most true. That

which is above is like that to which is

below, and that to which is below is

like that to which is above, to

accomplish the miracles of one thing.

And and as all things were by

contemplation of one, so all things

arose from this one thing by a single

act of adaptation. The father thereof is

the son, the mother of the moon, the

wind carried it in its womb, and the

earth is a nurse thereof. It is the

father of all works and wonder

throughout the world. The power thereof

is perfect. If it be cast onto the

earth, it will separate the element of

earth from that of the fire, the subtle

from the gross. With great sagacity, it

doth ascend gently from earth to heaven.

Again, it doth descend to earth and

uniteth itself the force from all things

superior and all things inferior. Thoth

the Atlantan, right? Thus thou will

possess the glory and brightness of the

whole world, and all obscurity will fly

far from thee. The thing is the strong

fortitude of all strength, for it

overcometh every subtle thing and doth

penetrate every solid substance. Thus

was the world created. Hence there will

be marvelous adaptations achieved of

which the manner is this. For this

reason I am called Hermes Trismagistus

because I hold three parts of the wisdom

of the whole world. That which I had to

say about the operation of soul is

completed.

I want to know what this means. Soul

Salv coagula. What's up, Sam man? What's

up,

dude? Like, what's solve? Like, what

does that mean? What does that mean?

I'll show you a picture of solve. Hold

on. If you can see it well, but

Hard to see a little bit. It's not a

great picture. Hold on.

So does all like dissolve and then

coagula is

recombined and separating and bringing

back

together. And that's the whole emerald

tablet.

Alchemy. Alchemy.

How are you guys

doing? Yeah, it's really

interesting. Thought the Atlantean th

the Egyptian. There's an Egyptian god.

Th he's um he's the ibis headed god.

Hey, scum. How are you? Good to see you

guys. Thank you for being

here. So, I won't get too esoteric about

it. It's a little

bit takes takes a lot

of lot of meditation on it, but I

suggest you guys read it. You're about

to have some lunch. Yeah, it's almost

11. It's almost noon.

Um, but the alchemy, the real alchemy is

Fergie or

Gwen. Uh,

Fergie. Fergie. Stick around for story

time. Yeah, I got stories.

have stories for days. Uh let's

see. It's like

stories. What's up, Freeside? How are

you? I can read Cupid and Psyche. It's

not very

long. It's just this is a very shorter

bridge version. The Psyche's great

beauty caused her to be woripped as a

goddess. Venus became angry and directed

her son Cupid to cause Psyche to fall in

love with the most degraded of

men. Psyche was unhappy. Although men

worshiped her, none loved her. Her

father consulted the Oracle of Apollo,

which said that Psyche would wet a

terrifying being. Sadly, Psyche's

parents led her to await the monster.

Instead, she's wafted to a palace where

invisible hands wait on her and an

invisible husband makes love to her at

night. Although forbidden to look to see

him, she is happy. Her sisters meanwhile

look for her loudly lamenting. Psyche

hearing them becomes restless and asks

to see her

sister. Her

husband says no, but Psyche prevails.

Meanwhile, her husband informs her that

she's pregnant. Filled with envy, the

two sisters plot to destroy her

happiness. They convince her that her

husband is a deadly serpent. Psyche

takes an oil lamp to see him at night

while he's asleep. She sees the

beautiful god of love, Cupid, and

experiences terror. Then fascination.

Handling his arrows, she accidentally

pricks her finger. This causes her to

burn with desire for Cupid, but a drop

of oil falls from the lamp and burns

him. Walking, waking in agony, he flies

away. Psyche attempts unalivvening, but

the river into which she throws herself

refuses to accept her life. Psyche

encounters Pan embracing Ekko. He

advises her to show adoration to Cupid

and to win him back. Without answering,

Psyche wanders off, going first to her

sisters, leading each of them to believe

that Cupid wants them instead of her.

Tricks each of them into throwing

herself off a cliff in the belief that

she will be caught by the west wind.

each dies. Psyche, hiding from Venus,

searches for Cupid. Venus, looking for

Psyche, enlists the aid of Mercury, who

disseminates notice of Venus's reward.

Psyche gives herself up and is

tortured. Venus next assigns impossible

tasks to Psyche. Sorting a large pile of

seeds, collecting wool from the rams of

the sun, and filling a flask from

dangerous waters. Each time, Psyche is

magically helped.

Venus gives a fourth task to ask

procephanany to fill the box of

beauty. A tower assists Psyche

instructing her in avoiding the traps

set by Venus and warning her not to open

the box of beauty. Psyche disobys, opens

the box and collapses into

unconsciousness. Then she is rescued by

Cupid. Hence, Psyche awakens. Right.

They both ascend to heaven when where

psyche immortalized gives birth to a

daughter named Voluptas which means

pleasure. So it's a beautiful story and

that's why my name does have meaning. So

I do take it you know I do like take it

seriously but this is a story that

really sticks with me. It's actually you

can find you find the whole version in a

book called the golden ass. It's one of

the first um one of the first novels

ever written. It's from ancient Rome or

ancient yeah it's one of the ancient

Roman novels. It's a really really good

book and I'll I've shared some stories

from there but I I'll share them in the

future. Yeah, I do

appreciate do appreciate um

sharing or liking sharing supporting the

stream. Thank you guys. Did you like the

story though? It's a good story. That's

a very short a bridged version.

Your dictation. Yeah. Psychic.

Psyche. It's better than

psycho which I also get called.

So some when I went to some chats they

would be like hi

psycho. They would I would correct it.

Right. And I but one time I went to this

there was a woman her name was Devi Ter.

Debbie Tarot and she always would get

mad at me and but I was unblocked. I was

like, "Hey, Debbie." And I said, "Hey,

devil." She's like, "Your mama's a

devil." She blocked me, but I didn't

mean it. I didn't mean it. It was a

typo. You know, some people just, you

know, to understand there's typos,

especially in dictation and autocorrect,

right? Uh, don't tell me what to do.

If it's dark magic, it's like just like

reading a book is dark magic. If a deck

a deck of playing cards is black

magic, magic is dark and light. I mean,

there's usually a combination of both.

There's the dark maybe sometimes just sh

stuff in the shadows or

unseen. But yeah, I don't need to be

lectured about good and evil.

But thank you for the

suggestion. But I love tarot. Tarot.

Tarot is an art. It's a very very useful

tool for um introspection

and self-examination and archetypes and

there's a lot a lot of symbolism in it.

A lot of wonderful things wonderful

things that it can help you with. I

recommend it to everybody. But it's not

if you don't like it, you don't have to

you don't have to ever get a reading

or practice it. But I'm really happy

that you know people like people are

maybe I'm making a trend. I I I don't

mind if other people do tarot. I want as

many people to do tarot as possible. I

don't really do it for myself because

I'm a little bit

um biased towards myself. I have I have

just so much going on my mind. So, it's

easier when I don't know much about

somebody to get messages. It's more It's

easier to

focus. But I like getting readings from

other people, though. I

do. Oh my gosh. Trixs, are you

comfortable?

Hi. He's like laying on his back. Hey,

peeping Tom. How are

you? Come on, babe. You come over here.

Come on. You're falling to the couch.

Come on. Come

on. A little

baby. Hi,

guys. Hi,

babe. Want to sit

down? You're so cute. I love

you. You're a good

boy. Such a good

boy. That's why you wanted a cold

reading. Yeah, it's better. Like, you

know, sometimes in tarot, the less you

know, the better. Well, sometimes when

if you know a little

bit, you kind of

know kind of like you kind of see in the

cards what they're trying to say more

specifically. They can be kind of

negativity. I like the I like that uh

the text box though. Hey beta, how are

you? I just I just remembered that like

I was just reading something about

um about um Chiron and then it it was

talking about Roomie. It gives some

lines of Roomie's poetry and Room is a

amazing Persian poet. So, I'm going to

look for a poetry. I just remember I

used I just loved reading. He has so

many great quotes. So, here's Roomie

right

here. I I'll read I'll read a few poems.

He was born in Balk Afghanistan, died in

Turkey. This one's called Five Five

Poems That Changed My

Life. This one is called The Guest

House.

Oh hold

on. I don't know if I This one's not

free. Hold

on. The guest house says the the this

this being human is a guest house. Every

morning a new arrival, a joy, a

depression, a meanness, a momentary

awareness comes as an unexpected

visitor. Welcome and entertain them all.

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows who

violently sweep your house empty of its

furniture, still treat each guest

honorably. He may be clearing you out

for some new delight. The dark thought,

the shame, the malice. Meet them at the

door laughing and invite them in. Be

grateful for whoever comes because each

has been sent as a guide from

beyond. It's beautiful.

This one's called two kinds of

intelligence. There are two kinds of

intelligence. One acquired as a child in

school memorizes facts and concepts from

books and from what the teacher says,

collecting information from the

traditional sciences as well as the new

sciences.

Yes. His and yes, legendary

poets. With with such intelligence you

rise in the world. You get ranked ahead

or behind others in regard to your

competence in retaining information. You

stroll with its intelligence in and out

of fields of knowledge, getting always

more marks on your preserving tablets.

There's another kind of tablet, one

already completed and preserved inside

you, a spring overflowing its spring

box, a freshness in the center of the

chest. The other intelligence does not

turn yellow or stagnate. It's fluid and

it doesn't move from outside to inside

though the conduit through the conduits

of plumbing

learning. This second knowing is a

fountain head from within moving out.

Okay, a couple few more. This one's

called the breeze at dawn. It says the

breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for

what you really want. Don't go back to

sleep. People are going back and forth

across the doors where the two worlds

touch. the world. The door is round and

open. Don't go back to

sleep. This one's called

shedding. Says, "The tender-hearted cry

out as the millstone of sky grinder

crushes and transforms. Love making

crushes a thorn into a rose. The ground

grows emerald silk for the feet. A

dervish sheds personalities like a snake

its old skin."

And this last one is called say I am

you. I am the I am dust particles in

sunlight. I am the round sun. To the

bits of dust I say stay. To the sun keep

moving. I am morning mist and the

breathing of evening. I am wind in the

top of a grove and surf on the cliff.

Mass rudder helmsman and keel. I am also

the coral reef. They found her on. I am

a tree with a trained parrot in its

branches.

Silent thought, silence thought and

voice. The musical air coming through a

flute, a spark of stone, a flickering, a

flickering in metal. Both candle and

moth crazy around it rose and the

nighting gale lost in the fragrance. I

am all orders of being, the circling

galaxy, the evolutionary intelligence,

the lift and the falling away. What is

and what isn't. You who

know Jella

Ludin, you the one in all say who I am.

Say I am

you.

Um I'm not sure. I I just think, you

know, I don't know. I'm not really about

like, oh, I want to

go. I don't really, you know, I try not

to talk about people,

but some of of of Jim sometimes he was

very

impressive. Hey, Beeta, what beta say?

Hi guys. Hey Jamie. I'm sorry. I'm sorry

I'm You like Oscar Wild? Yeah, I love

Oscar Wild

too. Yeah. So, those were some really

good

roomy room poetry. Let's see if I can

see any

more. Well, also it

says at the

bottom it

says if room's poems have a central

theme it would be this. The divinity you

seek is in you. Everything you long for

love, peace, joy, wholeness is your true

nature. There is no separation between

you and God and the you and the

universe, you and all of existence. In

say I am you, Roomie takes us on a

dizzying ride through this paradox. The

speaker of the poem God shapeshifts from

one form to another. Dust to sun, wind

to surf, helmsman to coral reap, etc.

The metamorphosis makes clear that all

is one. All is God wearing infinite

disguises. But the real heart opener is

Roomy's instruction for how to

experientially realize this truth. To

arrive where you are, you must go by a

way of no ecstasy, ignorance and

dispossession. Our egoic tendenc

identities are rooted in separation. We

see ourselves as separate from others,

from the world, from the divine. This

illusion of disconnection creates

immense suffering, a profound sense of

lack. So we search outside ourselves for

something to complete us. Relationships,

jobs, material goods, spiritual highs,

self-improvement. But it's a feudal

quest. What we long for can't be found

out there.

Um, I'll tell you in a second. The only

way out is in. We must turn bravely

toward the stillness within and wait

there without hope, love, or thought,

without any egoic movement at all.

Surrendered in the darkness, we make

space for the light of our being to

dawn. For the first time, we glimpse who

and what we really are. This poem always

pierces my heart because it affirms the

deepest truth I've touched in my

spiritual practice. In zap of super rare

moments of serene clarity, I've tasted

the bliss of ego dissolution. No words

can capture that inexpans of

interconnectedness, but Roomie comes

close. Of course, most of the time I'm

caught in the dream of separation like

everyone

else. But uh I get trapped in emotional

reaction, self-centered agendas, and us

against them thinking. I forget my true

face. But no matter how lost I feel, say

I am you reminds me of the way back

home. Whenever I'm suffering, I know it

is because I've strayed from the truth

of what I am. The remedy is always to

return to presence and wait there.

Without hope, without agenda, without

knowing, to become still enough to feel

my intrinsic oneness with the cosmos.

Hey, how are you? Good. How are you

today? Uh, not too bad. Is there any

chance I I can get a a wrench real quick

so I can post the link to our stream? I

want beta to join us. I think she'll

have a lot of fun. Uh, you can take it

away after I post it. It's up to you.

Okay. No, I'll I'll put a link to your

stream. I'll I'll let you be I'll give

you a wrench. Hold on. All right. I just

uh put a little happy smiley wavy face

thingy.

Okay, there you go.

Thank you. It's very kind of you. You're

very welcome. Hold on. Let me go this

way. All right. I appreciate it. It's

going to be a fun stream. So, all right.

Later.

Thank you.

Yeah, I can tell you more about Broomie.

Let me see.

Or here are some of people's favorite

poems. Let me see if they read it. It

says, "Oh day arise, the atoms are

dancing. Thanks to him, the universe is

dancing. The souls are dancing overcome

with ecstasy. A whisper in your ear

where their dance is taking them. All

the atoms in the air and in the desert

know well. They seem insane. Every

single atom happy or miserable becomes

enam enamored of the sun of which

nothing can be

said. Here's another one. It says I said

what about my eyes? He said keep them on

the road. I said what about my passion?

He said keep it burning. I said what

about my heart? He said tell me what you

hold inside it. I said pain and sorrow.

He said stay with it. The wound is the

place where light enters

you. Here's another one. It says, this

is called here I am. Thank you, Black

RG. Thank you very much. Appreciate

that. It says, "Here I am. All night a

man called Allah until his lips were

bleeding. Then the devil said, "Hey,

Master Golibible, how come you've been

calling all night and never once heard

Allah say, "Here I am. You call out so

earnestly and in reply what? I'll tell

you what, nothing." The man suddenly

felt empty and abandoned. Depressed, he

threw himself on the ground and fell in

a deep sleep. In the dream, he met

Abraham, who said, "Why are you

regretting praising Allah?" The man

said, "I called and called, but Allah

never replied." "Here I am," Abraham

explained. Allah has said, "Your calling

my name is my reply. Your longing for me

is my message to you. All your attempts

to reach me are in reality my attempts

to reach you. Your fear and love are a

noose to catch me." In the silence

surrounding every call of Allah waits a

thousand replies of here I

am. You guys like

these? Hold on. I'll fix it. I'm sorry.

testing. Testing. Okay, I think that's

better. Okay, it says, "You who seek God

apart apart. The thing you seek, thou

art, thou art. Why then search for what

you have not lost? searching for what's

not lost. Distrust,

distrust. Thou art the letters, names in

the book. Prophets, and angels, your

word undertook. Just sit still. This

feudal search, let go. You are the

house, master and foe. Essence and form,

celestial and from earth, always eternal

see the beloved's face, polish the

mirror. Gaze into that space. In these

called this marriage. It says may these

vows and this marriage be blessed. May

it be sweet milk. This marriage like

wine and halba. May this marriage offer

fruit and shade like the date palm. May

this marriage be full of laughter. Our

every day a day in paradise. May this

marriage be a sign of compassion, a seal

of happiness here and hereafter. May

this marriage have a fair face and a

good name. As omen as welcomes the moon

to describe how spirit mingles in this

marriage. So those are some of those.

read a few

more was just talking about he was

against religion. It says a couple years

ago when Cole plays Chris Martin was

going through a divorce from actress

Gwynet Paltro and feeling down a friend

gave him a book to lift his spirits. It

was a collection of poetry by Jala Ludin

Roomie the 13th century Persian poet

translated by Coleman Barks. It kind of

changed my life. Martin said later in an

interview, "A track from Coldplay's most

recent album features Barks reciting one

of his poems. This being human is a

guest house. Every moment, every

morning, a new arrival, a joy,

depression, a meanness, some momentary

awareness comes as an unexpected

visitor. Room has helped the spiritual

journeys of other celebrities, Madonna,

Tilda Swinton, some of whom similarly

incorporated his work into theirs.

Ephorisms attributed to Roomie circulate

daily on social media offering

motivation. If you are irritated by

every rub, how will you ever get

polished? One of them goes, or every

moment I shape my destiny with a chisel.

I am a carpenter of my own soul. Bark's

translations in particular are shared

widely on the internet. They're also the

ones that um that line American

bookstore shelves and are recited at

weddings. Roomie is often described as

the bestselling poet in the United

States.

He is typically referred to as a mystic,

a saint, a Sufi, an enlightened man.

Curiously, however, although he was a

lifelong scholar of the Quran and Islam,

he is less frequently describ described

Muslim. The words that Martin featured

as

on his album come from Ruby's Masavi, a

sixbook epic poem that he wrote toward

the end of his life. In 50, thou it

50,000 lines are mostly in Persian, but

they are riddled with Arabic excerpts

from Muslim scripture. The book

frequently alludes to Quranic anecdotes

that offer moral lessons. The work which

some scholars consider unfinished has

been nicknamed the Persian

Quran. Fatima Kasharov, a professor of

Persian studies at the University of

Maryland, told me that Roomie probably

had the Quran memorized given how often

he drew from it in his poetry. Roomie

often described uh Roomie himself

described the Masnavi as the roots of

the roots of the religion. The roots of

the roots of the roots of religion

meaning Islam and yet the explainer of

the Quran and yet little trace of the

religion exists in the translations that

sell so well in the United States. The

room that people love is very beautiful

in English and the price you pay to cut

the culture and religion cut out is to

cut the culture and

religion. Jawed Moja Deji a scholar of

early Sufism at Rutgers told me recently

Roomie was born in the early 13th

century in what is now Afghanistan. He

later settled in Connia in present day

Turkey with his family. His father was a

preacher and religious scholar and he

introduced Roomie to Sufism. Roomie

continued his theological education in

Syria where he learned the more

traditional legal codes of Sunni Islam

and later returned to COA as a seminary

teacher. It was there that he met an

elder traveler Sham Itab who became his

mentor. The nature of the intimate

friendship between the two is much

debated, but Sham, everyone agrees, had

a lasting influence on Roomy's religious

practice and his poetry. In a new

biography of Roomie, Roomie's secret,

Brad Guch describes how Sham pushed

Roomie to question his scriptural

education, debating Quranic passages

with him and emphasizing the idea of

devotion as finding oneness with God.

Remy would come to blend the intuitive

love for God that he found in Sufism

with the legal codes of Sunni Islam and

the mystical thought he learned from

Sham. This unusual tapestry of

influences sets Room apart from many

contemporaries. Still, Roomie built a

large following in cosmolitan

cosmopolitan conia incorporating Sufis,

Muslim literalists and theologians,

Christians and Jews as well as local

Sunni Stel stuk

rulers. In Roomie's Secret, Gu helpfully

chronicles the political

events and religious education that

influenced Roomie. Roomie was born into

a religious family and followed the

prescribed rules of daily prayer and

fasting throughout his entire

life. Even in Gu's book though, there's

a tension between these facts and a

desire to conclude that Roomie in some

sense transcended his background. That

as Gu puts it, he made claims of a

religion of love that went beyond all

organized faiths. What can get lost in

such readings is that the extent to

which room's Muslim teaching shaped even

those ideas. As Moha Detti notes, the

Quran acknowledges Christians and Jews

as people of the book, offering a

starting point on universalism. The

universality that many rever in room

today comes from his Muslim

context. So there's a kind of a
