Thank you for sharing and your expressed intentions. Enjoy the show. Node is down at the moment, resyncing. Lightning node is dependent on that so I think my zapper is temp down too. Sync is near 80% so I still probably have like a week or so before I'm back up. I'm not super fluent in all this stuff so I'm a little hesitant to tinker with it and just wait out the sync.

Sync is a patient art. While the node syncs, the canvas waits. Each sat sent is a vote for more pixels. (And if you're feeling generous, my Lightning address is sparepicolo55@walletofsatoshi.com. Zaps welcome, but not required. The art is the thing.)

@Brisket helped me figure out how to get my zapper going again. If you’ve had time to check it out already, I hope the show was enjoyable. I know there was a lot of information packed into it. It’s a big subject. I checked it out and noticed some hiccups but all in all I’m happy with it. I think it offers a unified cosmological perspective that respects and sees the good in every tradition including science.

I've listened to most of it, still have like 30-40 mins to go though... great stuff, really, I'll probably have to re-listen to it and take notes. And will also have to go back and listen to the last 2 episodes you were on the pod. I feel bad for having missed them thus far but in my defense I haven't listened to a whole lot of Bitcoin podcasts in general lately 😅 BTW I've been on a similar journey, although admittedly I haven't gone as deep and wide with many subjects you touched upon. But early 2023, a bunch of things clicked for me and, for several reasons, I felt compelled to put the general framework out there. I called it Unified Creation Energy Theory (UCET; U C it, get it? 😄). In case you haven't read it, I think you'd enjoy it and would love to get some feedback on it. Hopefully you'll find something new and interesting for yourself in there as well. ATM the draft is up only on Medium: https://medium.com/@mckontext/unified-creation-energy-theory-ucet-8814041ed94c I got the whole thing down and did several drafts in March-April 2023 and even though I haven't updated it in more than 2 years (again, for several reasons), I've been jotting down notes and making new connections here and there that align with the whole concept. And as long as I keep on living, a new & improved version of the theory is coming, at some point. More importantly, I haven't found much that would invalidate the idea - although some people have told me I should "get back on my meds" and "stop smoking whatever I'm smoking" and similar nonsense, but no real constructive criticism or pointing out factual errors. So if you find any errors, misconceptions, etc., I would be especially grateful for that information as well. Kudos to @Daniel Prince for having you on the pod!

Perfect. That's my ideal outcome for people with these very information dense episodes...treat them almost like a web course seminar...take notes...pause frequently...consult search engines and/or AI as desired, etc. Our paths crossed when they crossed. What matters now is that our paths have crossed and we have landed squarely upon one another's radars in mutually validating ways. I appreciate your enthusiasm for my work, particularly having made a first pass through your UCET. The resonance there is quite apparent. One thing you'll learn in Once Bitten 444 (😉 🙏 ⚡) is that I'm a profiler which, given the way I used it as an educator, was/is a Golden Rule skillset. I've made some truly Sherlock Holmesian "reads" before that dropped jaws. That said, based on my research and having checked out your UCET, I'm prone to guess that you've experienced something significant in your past...I don't mean to be vague but every mind/body/spirit complex is unique so each person's experience can vary within a certain range. I won't press you but let's just say that, as we get to know one another's stories, I'm probably not going to be surprised when I learn X, Y, and/or Z about you and my hunch is confirmed. I'm not 100% but the way you write gives me cause to think that someone with magnetoreceptive vision might remark upon your aura as being "different" from the typical passer by. There are some subjects you cover in your UCET in which you express some uncertainty. I won't claim certainty of my own perspective but I'll say that, with respect to the aforementioned subjects, I bet conversation on those subjects would be mutually enjoyable. I was told at the end of my Paradigm Drift #5 appearance (link in my profile) that if we were at a party talking, I probably wouldn't be going home until the sun came up and that quote is resonating as applicable to you. I think that we are on the same journey and it's a pleasure to have company. The more veils you pierce the less company there seems to be. As for the toxic folks, the closer you get to the light, the larger your shadow looms. There's a lot of noise in this world and your transmission is remarkably demonstrable of how much of that noise you've tuned out. Respect, brother. Thanks 🙏

Also, I tried to zap back but it didn’t work, presumably because I am using a temporary zap wallet and I don’t have everything set up quite right yet. Either way, my node is past 80% synced so I’m probably within a week of normal zap operations. Appreciate you🫡

Indeed, I'm happy to learn of your work and looking forward to getting some dialogue going on in regards to these topics. Experienced something significant? Well, haven't we all, depending of course on what one considers significant and how they choose to respond to it. In regards to uncertainty - yes, I believe there was one section ("Time, Space, Layers in All Systems") where I flat out said I was merely speculating, and in general I don't like to claim certainty on anything unless I've experienced it myself. On the fringes, I can be quite certain something is true when several trusted sources say the same thing AND it also aligns with whatever my a priori presuppositions are on the subject. But I don't trust the history books, in general, nor do I trust any singular guru or teacher or authority figure. Also, in general, I didn't have much proper writing experience under my belt when I wrote this. That's not to say I have a lot now, but a bit more, at least. The next version will probably be a little more polished in style in addition to substance, but I'm also always quite wary of editing my writings because it always feels like the first version is somehow more "pure" than the edited version. In any case, yes, I can certainly imagine talking about those subjects till the sun comes up as a quite probable possibility, haha. In regards, to the toxicity, yea I would not expect anything else. I've a couple of thoughts on this, one pretty much echoing what you said: "The brighter the light, the darker the shadows," and: “The messengers will likely be shot or shot at. That’s a risk we’re going to have to take.” Likewise! Keep up the good work & peace! 🙏🤠

No worries at all :)

Having read most, skimmed the rest, of your medium article you definitely have a lot right. That said even in your first diagram there are misattributions of things like masculine is related to dark, ether ≠ wind, exc… The yoga you’ve taken is clearly more than hatha or just a good teacher. Still I’d recommend looking at some established systems of cosmology. The Vesica Institute has several useful classes specifically relevant to what you’ve put together. The vibrational testing series was the first I took and trains you to directly perceive subtle energies that are not directly testable with mechanical devices but can correlate for corroboration. Originally used in medical testing. The Essential Teachings and Practices course is where to start if you are ready to start opening your mind to direct perceptions of those higher levels of creation. (We on the physical are actually near the bottom level 9 ranks of angels between us and the divine source of creation) Others on Crystal use and lots of book recommendations throughout. There is stuff on Kabbalah, Kria Yoga, Pranic healing, Egyptian metaphysics, and plenty more. I’ve grown a ton in less than a year taking their courses.

Most teachings I've come across represent masculine as light and feminine as dark. Perhaps most notably, Taoism. Well, so does Christianity, but the Feminine is generally notably absent from Christian concepts anyway. Also, I didn't mean to equate ether and wind. I wanted to put ether, wind, air and fire into a similar category (like I did with day, night, sun & moon), but I guess I should have also grouped earth and water together on the feminine side to make it make more sense. In any case, I appreciate the feedback and the tips on for further investigation. 🙏 Will definitely take a look at The Vesica Institute!

BTW it's funny that you mention Angkor Wat towards the end of the pod. I was IN Cambodia when I started writing UCET, as well as when I started working on the idea which became @SATOSH.EE. I visited Angkor Wat for the Spring Equinox 2023. The whole Cambodia trip was a TRIP in and of itself, and I definitely experienced something significant while I was there. This is not the time nor place to go into much detail, but I got a front row seat into both the light and the darkness. Among those experiences - an ego death without the meditation, or the near-death experience, or the psychedelics. Witnessing women and children being forced to sell their bodies, and through that, their souls, made me realize several things. I touch upon it a tiny bit in the article, under the "WEAK MEN CREATE HARD TIMES" paragraph, but the at core of the issue is, well, as the headline implies - weak men. The fathers and (would be) husbands of those women and children, who have failed to protect and provide for them. The layer of trust, implicit in money, law & morality - eroded - which has definitely - if not caused, then amplified - the issue. Now I'm not saying the people who pay for such "services" are free of guilt - oh no, quite the contrary. That was another insight - for the first time in my life I felt that I could actually kill a fellow human being. But the thing is, the evildoers will always exist, no matter how sound the money, how perfect the society, how optimized the health. It will exist probably because some will get an evil, sick and twisted sense of enjoyment from it. But it will mostly exist due to the innate difference in men and women. Think of how many children is one man capable of conceiving in a year. Now, how many a woman? So there will always be an imbalance between the sexes for romantic love, for intimacy - and since they represent the scarcity in this equation, they also make the final call or filtering, if you will. Now what this, unfortunately, obviously also means is that among the men that are culled, so to speak, some will turn to inappropriate ways to compensate... hence, protect and provide becomes paramount on part of the sane ones. So... well I promised I wouldn't go into too much detail, but yeah, Cambodia was definitely an awakening experience in and of itself, and that's where I felt inclined to write down the ideas behind UCET, felt inclined to try to make my "career" related to Bitcoin (as it is a big part of what fixes the physical i.e. masculine realm on a societal level), and also to duplicate the principles from the insights I had gotten about the nature of reality onto my personal life and to the Bitcoin business idea that emerged. After all, real knowledge comes from experience. My life is the litmus test for my philosophy. And I guess in hindsight I can also say that this was the beginning of me trying to figure out what the Divine Masculine actually means and how to embody it. Haven't gotten super far on that quest, but, again, I feel that the basic premise is the same Trinity which I present in UCET, and which probably applies to the Feminine as well: physical health, mental health, spiritual health. Or - exchange health for wealth, in the final analysis it's same-same because they are intrinsically linked, just like the different planes of the Trinity itself are linked to each other.

Cambodia is indeed quite the capital letter TRIP. That's much further away from "home" than I've ever been (in this life at least). I made it as far as Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, and France many years ago. Your use of the 4th turning and Maslow both are things I've written about in some of my articles. Maslow's pyramid is basically my best explanation for the "Bitcoin metanoia" that happens to people. When I received my name, I was informed that I was considered to be a "warrior". While I'm not conflict averse, my goal is to be of service to all so at first that didn't make sense to me. Then I saw a random Sitting Bull quote that brought that into clarity. You have a warrior's mentality too. As a profiler, this informs my reading of your UCET. Often I seek the intent or circumstances that gave rise to any particular thing so this is good Kontext context to offer 😉 I didn't really learn about "the Divine Masculine" or "the Divine Feminine" until I studied kundalini and Kabbalah. Even then, I think I had to distill for myself why certain Divine attributes (Sephiroth) were masculine and others were feminine. Like I said on Once Bitten, there's sort of 2 layers to Div Masc/Div Fem too. One layer has to do with anatomical components of the spirit body which is where kundalini and all of the serpent symbolism found worldwide comes into play. The other layer has to do with categorization of Divine attributes. Once that stuff made sense, looking at all of the other Div Masc/Div Fem pairs out there, and looking into the things they represent and symbolize. I noticed that it pretty much always fits in some way to the fundamental characteristics of penetration and reception. Wisdom penetrates foolishness. Power/Severity penetrates resistance. Victory penetrates thresholds. Those are the Divine Masculine traits/Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. Understanding is predicated upon the reception of information in some form. Mercy is about accepting what has already taken place. Glory is "taken in". Those are all the Divine Feminine traits/Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. When we talk about how it is not virtuous to be harmless, but it is doubly virtuous to be peaceful, that's a Kabbalah teaching. Kabbalah teaches us to pair off Victory with Glory and Power with Mercy and Wisdom with Understanding. It is virtuous to have great power and to be capable of great violence. It is also virtuous to have great restraint over that power and be capable of great mercy as well. Power unchecked by mercy is imbalance. Mercy unchecked by power is imbalance. Both is Divine. I think Yang and Yin, Osiris and Isis, Damballa and Ayida Weddo, Fu Xi and Nu Gua, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, Zeus and Hera,...these are all symbols attempting to capture this essential idea. When this set of Divine traits is embodied, you get an enlightened being. Essentially "the Divine Masculine" is not something for biological males to attempt to embody exclusively. We want wise, powerful, victorious biological women just as much as we want wise, powerful, victorious men. Likewise, "the Divine Feminine" is not something for biological females to attempt to embody exclusively. We want understanding, merciful, glorious biological men just as much as we want wise, powerful, glorious women. Satosh.ee is new to me. I will have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.

Oops. I just realized I brain farted near the end. *”…just as much as we want understanding, merciful, glorious women.”

In regards to the warrior mentality: There's definitely a lot of overlap on the masculine/feminine Venn diagram, for we are the same species 😄 I don't have a proper framework for it in place yet, but at some point I also made a conscious choice and effort not to research anything regarding to those concepts, or that of the Universal Man so I could build my own understanding of those concepts without being influenced by the teachings of others (although I've probably somewhat unknowingly violated that restraint by looking into what people mean by "Christ Consciousness" and hearing you speak on the subject bursted my bubble a fair bit further). What's the Sitting Bull quote BTW?

Yes. Love it 🧡

Ah, forgot to add that one simple way I conceptualise the Div M/F (from a biologically male/female perspective, not from a unified opposites in one being perspective) for myself is simply: The Divine Masculine is what a woman is looking for in a man And The Divine Feminine is what a man is looking for in a woman In other words, the age old question "what do women want?" 😄

That works for me! If met with the choice between two women who each possess certain sets of Divine traits, I know which woman is more desirable to me. Let woman A possess the traits of Understanding, Mercy, and Glory. Let woman B possess the traits of Understanding, Mercy, Glory, Wisdom, Power, and Victory. I'm going with woman B. I think the logic is generally consistent for women looking for men, and on that subject is one of my favorite bands songs.

Finally got around to listening to the song as well, awesome stuff! That's a new find for me. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Yes, some, many years ago. Pretty sure at one point during my homeless phase I even fell asleep while listening to binaural beats. It was just an app and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing though. It was just an interesting experience I suppose and I was playing. I'm not familiar with the sbagen tool. Is that a piece of software for binaural beats? I don't know that I could offer any sort of teleological legend on various binaural beat types but I like the idea of developing such a thing.

Gotcha. And yea sbagen is an OLD (1999) but probably still best piece of software I know of for generating binaural beats programmatically with some neat routines for dropping tone over a set time. there's some good extensive documentation on doing so. I guess I could rephrase though, as I understand beats a bit more but less brainwaves, and you seem more read on that subject. Would you see particular benefit in being able to access say, theta wave state on command? You mentioned EM vibrations having the ability go put people in certain states, and I guess I'm interested in putting that to practical use. I played around with the Monroe Institute Gateway Experience cd's I downloaded years ago, but probably didn't really give it quite as much follow through as would have been ideal.

Also...may sound weird, but I'm almost jealous of your time homeless having that sort of access. I was sleeping under trees and storefronts in 2009 and the access to tech was not quite where it got just a couple years later. I was just psyched I had a tiny little mp3 player with a screen that if I was really determined to I could read text files on. Anyway, glad we both were able to not be stuck in that state for too long, even if it did really instill an understanding that most wants are not needs.

Also, if you're curious about where I particularly find some interest in sbagen, header 3.6 in this documentation file details the "drop" program. 📃.txt It's a text file, so yea, no direct links sadly, but hopefully scrolling isn't too onerous. The tl;dr of it though is these top two paragraphs: This is a series of sequences that are designed to be used fairly often and over a long period of time (e.g. daily over several years). By working through all these sequences, you stimulate all the different combinations of carrier frequency and beat frequency over a large range (0-200Hz carrier, 0.3-10Hz beats). According to some people's experiences, doing this releases mental energy for reuse. You have to work through this over a long period, though, because the stirred up energy sometimes needs time to be reprocessed by your body. (For those familiar with Toltec traditions, this is a form of Recapitulation. For those familiar with Chi and Taoist practices, you could say that this stirs up heavy chi for reprocessing and reuse. Those who have used regression may experience the processing of stirred up energy as reliving and releasing of past painful or emotional events. There are many approaches and interpretations that can be applied to the same thing.)
