Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd, rambling ideas.

Cristina: Childish ways.

Jack: We don't. In very adult ways.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Also, we need to keep in mind that by, like, the end of the year, I got. We gotta make, like, social posts and you know what? Just, you guys, whenever you want to start sending us some questions, you could do that, too. So that by Valentine's, we can just go old school and answer your pressing life issues.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: You know, so that we can help you solve your relationship problems on Valentine's Day or around Valentine's Day, since we upload on every Saturday. I don't know if Valentine's Day is on a Saturday. So near Valen. Whatever. Saturday's nearest Valentine's Day. Or I guess it'll be before Valentine's Day. So they can listen to it on Valentine's Day.

Cristina: We don't make any promises, though. It could be after anyway.

Jack: Yeah. And it might never even happen.

Cristina: Or it may never happen.

Jack: But hopefully it does happen. And hopefully it happens before Valentine's Day. So you hear it on Valentine's Day. Because that's only when reasonable.

Cristina: That's a promise.

Jack: Not really a promise that we might not keep. Because we're not necessarily honest.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: Or we are honest. We're just not committed. That's all.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where it is. We mean well, but we're also like, whatever.

Cristina: Give us those problems.

Jack: Yeah. If you give us enough, it'll be inevitable. We can't, like, avoid it or anything, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But we have something interesting to discuss today and to ground today the way we do. We were recently, in a recent episode with an H episode, talking about weird spots. Specifically, we were discussing the neighborhood of paradise. And then we were talking about the Minotaur, which really just brought us back to thinking about the neighborhood. Because we had these people coming in and out of the town. And when people go to the town, they don't see anybody. And then we were like, well, there's just mazes that are familiar. And the mazes tells us that things have happened in these areas. And if things have happened in these areas, maybe the town is something like that. Because people come in and out of the town. And there is a church in the center of the town.

Cristina: Yes. And it's like that house that's very ma.

Jack: Like the Winchester house. Yes.

Cristina: That random crap is happening. Are things going out of that middle room? Probably.

Jack: Exactly. So that church might also have something similar, because the maze had something like that. And also the Winchester house had something like that. And we were like, well, Paradise Road must have something like that, too. And we were like, maybe we should find places like this, See if that's a thing. Find weird places that have this kind of same pattern.

Cristina: Is it a bunch of woods?

Jack: What?

Cristina: Like, is it like. If you did find the other places, are they like woods? Like this place that's in the middle of nowhere?

Jack: If I did find them, I guess.

Cristina: It would be because that house, though, is not in the middle of nowhere, is it?

Jack: It was.

Cristina: It was.

Jack: It was. It was in the middle of nowhere, really. That was also part of the reason it was so hard to get in. And, you know, architects and people down to contractors to go make happen.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It was in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: Okay, that's weird.

Jack: But all right, what's weird? What's different about that house? And what's different about the. I guess that house in the Maze, as opposed to paradise, is that in paradise, we have people coming in and out. Residents, we would call them. But neither the maze nor the house would have that atmosphere. There are rooms. I guess a house would have that atmosphere, wouldn't it? Because people did see many apparitions, ghosts and whatever happening there. Things. Weird things roaming the halls from inside and outside. People noticed all of it but the maze. I guess there's no real way to get a story out of there. I guess that's really why we don't have those stories. I was thinking, like, oh, yeah, they don't have those stories about people coming in and out and this playing out.

Cristina: The same way, but they're dead.

Jack: Not because they're dead, but, like, who. So are the people who are dead in the Winchester house?

Cristina: People aren't dying in the Winchester house.

Jack: The maker of the house still roams the house. That is a literal dead human.

Cristina: I guess. People aren't constantly dying in the house.

Jack: The whole family. The whole family died in the house.

Cristina: I guess the people today aren't dying in the house, are they?

Jack: Right. And then why don't we have those stories about the maze? I don't know.

Cristina: Who's it. Who's exploring the maze? Is that some place that people can go to right now?

Jack: I actually have an idea where the maze is. Fair enough. The maze is quite hidden.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, that's not a tourist attraction, is it?

Jack: No, it's a secret location.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Much like the basement of the. Or not the basement, but, you know, the facilities at the bottom of Cross Castle. But. So we're talking about Paradise Road, and we're talking about the maze that reminds us about the mansion. And we're like, yes, the paradise definitely has a church. And there's a pattern here, and there's familiarity. And then we. I don't know what we were. Oh, it somehow made us think, oh, no. We were doing the previous episode last week where we were just thinking about, you know, loosey goosey talking, and we came across the Judge again. The Judge and Inanna, his sister. That wasn't the same episode, not with the maze.

Cristina: I thought it was because we were just recapping everything.

Jack: No, there was an episode about the maze.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And there was an episode about Winchester House. And then there was an episode just kind of trying to see what we missed.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so we come across the Judge and how him and Inanna just casually strolled into the shadow Realm, which doesn't make sense. But we never thought about. But then we thought about it, and, like, we have an experiment that took place which was with Lucifer and Samael that allowed Lucifer to become a physical being, which means he can exist on both sides and easily cross a gate without ever needing adrenochrome. And we have the Judge crossing with.

Cristina: His sister, and we have all these tales talking about swapping babies, and we.

Jack: Have baby swapping tales. So the idea was, can we find more? Can we prove this is, in fact, what was happening with other examples after we have this established? And I think we can. So we're going to discuss a couple of different places today, and I'm gonna give you their names real quick, and we're gonna focus on one. Okay, I'll explain later. Why. So we're gonna discuss Jibaro villages in Puerto Rico. We're gonna. The quiet towns in Russia. We're gonna discuss La Isla de las Municas, the Island of Dolls, and Los Pueblos Perdidos, the Lost towns of Mexico.

Cristina: Where's the doll at?

Jack: We're also gonna discuss Brigadoon, which is in Scotland, and we're gonna discuss the villages of Lost children in Japan.

Cristina: But where's the Lost Doll Island?

Jack: Both of those are in Mexico.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: La Isla de las Muniecas and Los Pueblos Perdidos are both in Mexico. Right. Anyhow, so we're gonna start this by going into Jibaro villages and El Chino in Puerto Rico.

Cristina: Those are two different spots.

Jack: No, I Will explain what this is. That's just the title. Okay, I will get to the point. All right, so let's break apart these villages real quick. Right. So the Hibaro villages refers to mountainous and forested areas in Puerto Rico described as hidden villages, often in dense, remote, forested regions. Which kind of fits the suit we are looking for. When we dive into this, we find out that the locals believe these areas are always known for having lots of supernatural activities. They always discuss them as heavy supernatural activities, strange occurrences and weird things and ghosts and demons and spirits and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Kind of what we're looking for.

Cristina: Yes. It's always in the woods.

Jack: Always in the woods. At least these are. I wouldn't say it's always in the woods, but these are definitely in the woods. Now, what makes this particularly impressive is the fact that they are described as empty and abundant. Abandoned to visitors. To visitors. Familiar. Keep in mind that the locals also say that there's a lot of activity happening here, but there's nothing when visitors go. The locals to these areas also claim the villages are populated by spirits.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And supernatural entities. Add the Hibaro, the souls of the dead also being the original inhabitants of the region from long ago.

Cristina: They say if these souls are like human souls or like.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're just the inhabitants of the lands from long ago. Those are the Hibaro.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Everything else are spirits and supernatural entities. But the Hibaro are just the inhabitants from a long time ago. Unclear about how long ago. There's a lot of stories dictating a lot of different periods of time. So maybe different groups of people throughout different periods of time lived within the area.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But ultimately just the souls of the dead, presumably the original inhabitants from long ago. Now, the weirdest detail about this thing, by the way. This isn't one place. These are many villages in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: That's weird. But they're near each other or. No. Okay.

Jack: Nope, nope, nope.

Cristina: They're just random.

Jack: Yeah. They're spread out. And they have essentially the same tales going on. And when people go, they see nothing. Visitors go up there and record nothing. Nothingness. Just structures. And they don't know who built them. The interesting tale about this is that the locals always believe that they were the neighborhoods. The villages were built by beings from the spirit world. They use those literal words in Spanish.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: And we know the spirit world in every language translates to the shadow realm, but did you.

Cristina: Have you seen pictures of it? Like, does it look like it's just villages it's just. It looks normal.

Jack: Yeah. It's just old houses.

Cristina: Okay. I wonder why they think that then. That's weird. That's cool, though. But.

Jack: Yeah. So this is just the basics of the village. Let's. Let's focus on the locals a little. The locals surrounding these areas. So locals believe these villages exist in a place where the veil to the spirit world is thin.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: How specific? The villages are often described as parallel to the mortal world. Very specific phrasing.

Cristina: Yes. Sounds like the shadow realm.

Jack: So exact. It's crazy how exact the wording to this is. And they're described as spiritual reflections of the mortal world.

Cristina: What does that mean? What?

Jack: What do you mean, what does that mean? That's the most exact phrasing I've ever heard.

Cristina: Spiritual reflections. Reflections. That's what you said.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: All right. I'll word this in a way we said a million times. The shadow realm is a mirror to the earth realm.

Cristina: I know, but, like, this isn't the shadow realm. This is. They're talking about something on the earth realm.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: As a reflection of the earth around.

Jack: No, no, no. They're saying that when the veil is thin, presumably.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: This is built somewhere else. We see one version, but it is built somewhere else.

Cristina: Oh, that's complicated.

Jack: Actually, no, it's not. Because if you think about the opposite way that this works, the Winchester house fits this f****** suit.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This lady built a jumbled mess that looks like a crazy, chaotic s*** show to us, and she just wanders it easily. It makes sense. Over there.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Very on point. Very poignant. Another weird detail is they believe the residents aren't physical in the same way that humans are. Inhabitants to these villages can be seen wandering the lands surrounding them, though.

Cristina: So they can see these beings?

Jack: They see something. Yes, but never when they're in town.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: How familiar.

Cristina: Yes. That is exactly like Paradise Road.

Jack: That is exactly like Paradise Road to the T. Exactly the same thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know, cultural differences, linguistically speaking. But you're describing ultimately the same thing, it seems. But the villages, on the other hand, always appear empty.

Cristina: Yes. So they. They don't see anyone. Like, there's no stories of people in robes or any.

Jack: I did not find any stories of people in robes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, these villages are called Hibaro villages. All these villages are called Hibaro villages regardless of where they are. And it's focused on the fact that the dead live there, even if there are other spirits and other supernatural entities. But then what is El Chino?

Cristina: What is that?

Jack: Well, I'm obviously going to tell you now. The chino translates to pathway.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes. Most of the village's entrances begin with either a tunnel cutting through a mountain or a dense natural canopy path. A canopy is when trees kind of overlay and create like a nice tunnel just through the tree foliage or whatever. All of these neighborhoods have that happening. Every single one, without exception. And they refer to the path that leads there, usually through a mountain or through a canopy, as El Chino. These pathways are believed to be gates to the spirit world.

Cristina: The pathway itself.

Jack: Yes, but can't be crossed by humans.

Cristina: This actually informs what's happening in paradise with the gps?

Jack: Not the gps, with the unmarked road, the dirt road that just cuts from paradise to the paradise neighborhood.

Cristina: Yeah, but like the Google, not trying, not being able to see either.

Jack: They just literally didn't go through there themselves. And we know that the people there had some kind of contract with the government or some s***. I guess that's why they didn't navigate that path. But the path itself, and people going through the path, like myself and never seeing anybody on the other side. Well, I can't cross the gate.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I can drive the path. I can cross the path. I can't cross the gate that the path is. I was going through a canopy. I did not know this, or not a canopy per se, but, you know, some kind of tunnel way.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That would have exited me on the other side if I had the ability to cross.

Cristina: If you were of the type. Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But I wasn't. So I go in and it's nothing to me. El Chino is the name of these pathways, these gates that they believe allow only those who have the ability to cross through. And it's only people who are from the other side who can come in and out.

Cristina: That's crazy. They just know about these places and they're just everywhere. Not everywhere, but there's. There's multiple.

Jack: Yes, they're spread out throughout Puerto Rico. They're in many, many, many locations of Puerto Rico. And they are well known by the older folk.

Cristina: Because that's what I pictured as a very small area. But it's not that small if there's multiple.

Jack: It would take you a while to walk Puerto Rico, even if it's a tiny location. Also it's secluded. Nature allows for this to exist effortlessly. A lot of forest.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Dense rainforest. So it's, you know, easy place to put a bunch of these locations. And it's hard for people to get to. And then there's that weird archway. And people are like, oh, that place. Now, let's dive into some of this folklore.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now, tales surrounding the Hibaro village involve souls of lost humans. And interesting enough, interesting enough. The kidnapping of the offspring of the lost soul's descendants.

Cristina: What? They're saying they're.

Jack: They're kidnapping this. The babies that are in their own bloodline.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The goal is to take the child and possess the body of these children.

Cristina: No way. No way.

Jack: This would allow the soul of the individual to inhabit the child and have another life.

Cristina: Of course. Of course. Of course. That's exactly what we imagined. Okay. But they're related.

Jack: Well, no, we're not imagining in any other scenario that they're possessing the body.

Cristina: They're not possessing the body. No.

Jack: But, yeah, it would be weird if a grown a** adult then jumps into a child's body and is now reborn or whatever, which is what? This is making it seem like it's happening. So obviously we have to read between lines. We know this isn't literally what's going on because we have other examples fast. And it's also possible that the very people taking it are not getting replicas made of a baby. That doesn't make sense.

Cristina: No.

Jack: That's why they still see the souls of the dead there, because they haven't actually possessed these bodies. These narratives are conflicting. But they are taking children.

Cristina: They are taking children? Yes.

Jack: The child is then returned to the family, now with the soul of their ancestor. Allegedly.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Mm. Now, alternatively, the supernatural entities within the area are also known to take children. Not the souls, not the dead. They do too. But so do the supernatural entities.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: These individuals abduct infants and swap them with supernatural beings, most commonly for the purpose of sustaining a connection between the spirit world and the human world.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. The abducted human babies are then taken to the Jabbato village and raised among the people of the village. Yeah. Now, this ritual allows there to be mortals from the village familiar with the spirit world, and spirits within human villages familiar with the mortal world. So, Jin, take a human baby, bring it to this established location, probably after they do the obvious changing of the baby that existed before. So they do the experiment. They're not the experiment now. It's just a procedure. So they do the procedure that turns the Djinn baby into a perfect replica of the human baby and replace the Jinn baby where the human baby was taken from, then most likely give a bunch of adrenochrome to the baby and kill it, so that then the baby crosses and they can raise it on both sides. So the human baby gets killed, but now exists in the village. And then the jinn baby gets put where the human baby was, looking identical and can cross gates easily. This allows for there to be a human baby in the spirit village of the Hibaros and a jinn baby to be raised in the human villages. So there is interaction, thus sustaining connections.

Cristina: Because that's the goal, to keep that.

Jack: To keep that connection going. Yes. Interesting, though. H villages are not often considered dangerous, evil, or bad.

Cristina: Really? After all that?

Jack: After all that, Locals merely describe them as places where spirits reside and are empty and pointless for humans to wander.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There's also a legend about half humans and half supernatural beings created by the spirits with the explicit intention of being able to cross El Chino to engage with both the humans and the spirits for the sake of communication and trade.

Cristina: Huh? It's all about trading. Huh?

Jack: It's always about trading. Yep. And we refer to these individuals as santeras.

Cristina: Wait, what? The people that are trade, the traders.

Jack: The people who are really jinn who've gone through the procedure to be half and half are referred to as santeras. Witches.

Cristina: Witches? Oh, crap. They're like a step below, like necromancers or something.

Jack: Yep. They just have the ability to cross effortlessly from one side to the other. Wizards and witches.

Cristina: Cheating way.

Jack: Yeah.

Jack: Because they're raised believing they're human and they just have this ability and they go through a procedure to be essentially indistinguishable from human, biologically speaking.

Cristina: Yeah, like they wouldn't even know.

Jack: They wouldn't even know unless they go to the other side and find out which they can.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: And the same would go for the human baby that gets abducted and killed on this side and then raised on that side. Just raised believing they are a jinn. Yeah, maybe an odd looking one of that. But they are just Jin. They were born here. They were raised here. They know people die in cross. But wait, why am I over here? Oh, I was born here. My family's from over here. But they can also just cross.

Cristina: Are they also witches?

Jack: Well, they have whatever. I guess not. I guess not. Really. The witches are the Djinn, the actual born Djinn. But as somebody who is. Who has consumed adrenochrome, been killed, shown up on the other, you still have a plethora of abilities. So you are probably the supernatural beings are probably that. The humans have been taken to the other side and have abilities that jinn naturally don't.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, under this logic, this explains a Lot of things. If we consider different cultures we've read about and different non jinn individuals with very human characteristics, but a lot of different powers that come from the shadow realm. Those individuals were probably just human at some point and then just raised over there since they were babies. So we see them as Jin and the stories describe them as Jin, but they don't fit any Jin suit. That's why they're one offs.

Cristina: Oh, we gotta rethink about those stories.

Jack: Yep. Because there are babies being raised as Jin who were just human.

Cristina: We can't tell them apart. We can't tell these human and non human.

Jack: Well, we can, because they are nothing like a gin.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's the thing. They have weird abilities that even Jin feel are strange.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They are non jinn individuals. Just like we have weird people who were like, there's something off about you. Why do you have these abilities? You really believe you're crazy. You think you could talk to ghosts? That's nuts. You think you could see the future. But we know in the Shadow Realm, time works differently.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And if you're tuned in, maybe you can see the future.

Cristina: And also in real life, there's time anomalies happening.

Jack: Yes. And if a person has the ability to not only move through these things, but manipulate them and see them effortlessly, then you're just a weirdo with a lot of weird abilities that are all real. But we could never understand them. Because you're not even human.

Cristina: They're not even human.

Jack: It looks like magic to us, but it's not. It's science. Everything is science. Even the concept of a witch just got grounded.

Cristina: Yes. They're just made to trade. That's so crazy. It just matches everything.

Jack: Yep. To trade and communicate always.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To sustain trade and communication, that is the important thing. Very weird, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, we began with this place, Jibaro villages and El Chino. Because every other place has almost an identical narrative minus a couple deviations. Every single place on Earth, all around the world has stories like this, almost like the Bible, that are all kind of identical to other cultures and religions. They all have villages like this that match all these descriptions almost to the T. Everywhere on Earth, this is happening.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: There have been djinn living amongst people always, as far as we know. Yeah, but we could probably trace it all the way back to Eloi, where the first couple of gates were ever formed. Yes, because the argument would be that Lucifer and Lilith were the first two to cross. Other than Yaldabaoth, he would be literally number One.

Cristina: And how did he even figure it out? Like, how do you make something a new world and then able to enter it? Like, that whole second part is even more complicated than the whole first part of, like.

Jack: Yes, how did he figure out how to enter? That's legitimately a whole situation of its own. How did he figure out how to enter? But I don't know. That is weird, right? That's really complicated. I don't know how the f***. And then the problem is finding anything about that m*********** so hard. But all the following locations on Earth, these have exactly the same folklore, are based in mountains or forest locations, have stories of being empty to visitors, and are said to be inhabited by mostly peaceful supernatural beings or spirits.

Cristina: Do they also have stories about, like, missing children?

Jack: Some. I would have included it there, obviously.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I just said all of these locations have all of the following things.

Cristina: And then you asked about nothing else.

Jack: One I didn't mention. Like, obviously they don't all have that. If I didn't add that there. Now, the villages of lost children. This is in Japan now. These villages are built by unknown individuals. They have no idea who or how because they don't have any of the Ainu people's, you know, methods of building structures. These are completely foreign, weird, alien looking structures.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. They don't fit anything that these people have built. They're definitely villages, but they don't have the same kind of traditions that they had in the construction. They have no idea where they came from. And weirdly enough, it's hard to date them because of the materials not wearing away the same kind of way. A lot of different kinds of clays and not a lot of stones used. So you can't really, geographically, not geographically, geologically zone in on how long ago these were made. Weird. Right now, most of these places are often in ruins. The locals believe these villages were built between the Ainu people, that are the indigenous Japanese, and kami, which are spirits of the spirit world.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And Yokai, which are supernatural beings and entities.

Cristina: Supernatural beings are different from just spirits.

Jack: Yes, because there are the normal creatures you're familiar with from wherever. Now, the. The distinction here is very familiar to the distinction that's happening with the Hebaro villages where they believe that there are supernatural entities, spirits and the souls of the dead.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They made a distinction here. There are three different kinds of things happening, and we know that there are three realms. But this isn't granting passage to three places. It's only granting passage through two.

Cristina: So it'd Be spirits, shadow realm creatures and supernatural entities?

Jack: No. Well, the supernatural entities would be the shadow realm creatures, or the spirits are one or the other, and then the souls of the dead are the other.

Cristina: That could just be echoes.

Jack: An echo wouldn't assist building something.

Cristina: No. I did think they read descriptions. Weird, right? Yeah.

Jack: Something to think about. There is something standing out there that we are not familiar with something. Or we are, and we just not understanding the context per se. So. Yeah, the locals believe that the Ainu people, the indigenous Japanese, the Kami, which are spirits, and the Yokai, which are supernatural entities, built these villages. And these villages always appear empty. Always. And always have a structure identical to a Shinto gate.

Cristina: Hey, in Puerto Rico, did they have any special thing? Oh, no, I guess that's the archways and whatever the entrance is.

Jack: Okay. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But these specifically have a Shinto gate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or structure. Not specifically Shinto gate, but something almost identical in structure. Except this was built so long ago that it predates the existence of Jesus.

Jack: Which is unknown. Which is not familiar. How long ago? But it's way older than he is.

Cristina: Before he made his Shinto gates. Yes. Wow.

Jack: Yes. So again, he clearly went there to perfect Shinto gates because they were crisp when he made them. But we know somebody taught him how to make them. Yes, Presumably Hermes.

Cristina: Yeah. With the Stonehenges.

Jack: Which. Yeah. Which is likely what we're seeing in those locations. Old primitive versions of these gates. Legend suggested the yokai swap babies with humans because they believe humans will raise benevolent children.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes. Children who understand the ways of the humans and the ways of the yokai.

Cristina: That's what's important.

Jack: That's what's important.

Cristina: Okay. It's something like necromance, but not really.

Jack: It's a cheat sheet. It's a cheap way. Yeah, it's the cheap way to do it.

Cristina: There's something good about having someone that's both or multiple of whatever.

Jack: Yes. A hundred percent. A hundred percent.

Cristina: Which is weird because the sea people had a problem with the half of themselves breeding with humans, but.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Seems like everyone else is okay.

Jack: Everybody else is cool with it.

Cristina: It's cool with it.

Jack: But the Alicians are not. No, they had a legitimate problem with him.

Cristina: Yes. Although it may be leads. It has to do with Jesus, but who knows?

Jack: Well, no, they had a problem with it long before Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, okay, then. I don't know why.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, we had. Who. It was Azazel, I believe, who got arrested for however long for impregnating a female no, actually, it was having. No, it wasn't. It wasn't Shadow Realm individuals. They had a problem with Alicians mating with humans.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Jack: These aren't Alicians, aren't shadow people. What the h*** are you talking about?

Cristina: But, like, why? Like, everyone else seems to be cool with mixing, I guess. Shadow Realm people. I guess. Yes, but.

Jack: Yeah, but these are. The Alicians weren't dealing with that. The Elysians were mixing two kinds of earthlings.

Cristina: If they want necromancers, that's the best way to do it.

Jack: Right? But they. They didn't have a problem. Idzamna was a human, literally a human, and Ixchel, his wife, was a Shadow Realm individual. They have no problem with that. Yeah, their problem was explicitly humans with Elysians.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Well, they have an issue with Nephilim. They didn't like the Nephilim.

Cristina: Wonder why, though. Like, what makes them different? Because necromancers come from this thing of different beings coming together.

Jack: No, necromancer is a human.

Cristina: Is a human. He doesn't have to be part anything.

Jack: No, he has to be purely human. And then die.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. And then after you've. After you've studied the hermetic logic or.

Cristina: Whatever, you need to know every. About everything, I guess.

Jack: You need to know about everything, then die and come back. Okay, so these children couldn't be necromancers. They have the blood. The humans that were kidnapped have the ability to be a necromancer because you must be a human who made. No, but you. I don't understand. You had to consume Adrenocrome at some point. It's part of it. It has to be. How do you die and cross? Right? It has to be part of.

Cristina: Could be feeding the baby's blood.

Jack: And so they have the DNA to do it, but they just don't have the knowledge. So they couldn't be. It's just a cheap way. It's. You have the ability to cross, but you don't have the ability to manipulate. That's really what it ends up being, I guess. Necromancer DNA. If you ever go on the path, my son, you can. But, like, none of us f****** did.

Cristina: Because it was easier this way.

Jack: It was easier. Yeah. And, yeah, this kind of breaks down into essentially a hybrid child to cultivate peace and coexistence with humans was the goal.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So there are locations that coexist with humans, which we know about with the Naga. Which we know about with the Nephilim.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And now we're learning about the Shadow Realm. The Shadow Realm equivalent everywhere had people living in coexistence with other people. It was just normal. Now, the Brigadoon in Scotland. This is a weird one. It appears every 100 years.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: And can otherwise might be seen by humans.

Cristina: But it's a village.

Jack: Yeah. Exists primarily in the Shadow realm. But every 100 years the veil thins enough to be seen.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Very strange. It's plagued by strange time anomalies.

Cristina: That sounds right.

Jack: And confusing changes in the forest's directions.

Cristina: Ooh. Very familiar.

Jack: Yes. Visitors describe feeling like time is repeating or overlapping.

Cristina: That is scary. That is so scary. Okay. But visitors, like, even when it's not there, they're just visiting the area.

Jack: The area where it would be. Yes.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: And even if they don't see a thing. An infinite feeling of deja vu. Like the moment is repeated. Like if you get deja vu every couple of minutes over and over and over, you start losing your mind. Like, what the f*** is going on?

Cristina: Crazy. It's crazy what's happening. Whoa.

Jack: It's weirder that it shows up every 100 years. I don't know what the h*** that's about. That requires a like, deep dive of its own.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because something strange is happening there that might inform other things. Every 100 years. Like what the f***?

Cristina: Like the. Like the gate at the Mayan place. Isn't that how it works? Every something years? No, Every year. Every one. Once every year.

Jack: Twice every year.

Cristina: Twice every year. It's very specific.

Jack: Yeah. During the solstices.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But yeah. This is a weird one. This is 100 years. Every 100 years. Well, my guess would be that this lines up with something in space.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's some kind of astronomical thing that happens roughly every 100 years and positions it just right so that this becomes possible. Because we forget that a lot. A lot of this s*** is connected to space. Allows mofos dip in and out of space. And because we can't get stories from space, we have no narratives about this. But like, bruh, there's probably s***. We know a bunch of these dudes just dipped out into space. So there's crap out there.

Cristina: Yes, There's a lot of. They know about space. Yes, for sure. We know. They know the tech.

Jack: They've got the tech. It's like water to them. It's super easy now. La Isla de las Muniecas and Los Pueblos Perdidos in Mexico. This is the island of the Dolls and the lost towns. In Mexico. Now, La Isa de la Munacas is an island off the coast, and there's several villages identical to it in their behavior. Said to have been established by Ixchel herself.

Cristina: Ixchel?

Jack: The wife of Itzamna, the leader of the Earth gods. So these were established back in the time of Maya.

Cristina: She made them.

Jack: She personally made them. These villages were constructed with the assistance of El Castillo, which is what you were talking about. That is the pyramid gate that activates through the solstices. And they allowed for spirits, Jinn, to live locally among the humans. I didn't realize there were more. Twice a year, they'd perform rituals which would allow some djinn to move into human villages and some humans to move into Jinn villages. The human sacrifices just made sense right now?

Cristina: Yes, they're known for that.

Jack: They weren't even sacrifices. That's just. They were trying to explain what was happening, and we're like, they were killing people. And it's like. That's just part of the process, bro.

Cristina: That is part of the process. That's crazy.

Jack: It's not the end of life. It's the continuation of perception, and it's the end of your current state.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I guess the human sacrifices weren't sacrifices. They were humans transitioning.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so were the gin. Some gin would come in, some humans would go weird.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. And she was involved.

Jack: She was involved. And they all existed kind of in the same plane, and you could interact kind of when the veil was thin enough, but you'd mostly live over there or over here, and it didn't matter which side you were born on.

Cristina: Yeah, but for humans that lived in the area, they just saw it empty most of the time.

Jack: Well, no, this is an area with high activity, and there's a literal gate just there, one that everybody knows about. Okay, so presumably this is more like Clinton Road.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: When you're driving by the road and you see a bunch of crap from the other side regularly, and there doesn't really need to be anything happening. It just looks populated all the time. Now, we know that paradise doesn't work this way. Paradise is positioned tactically and far enough from anything and everything so that it always looks empty. But presumably there's other neighborhoods there that aren't paradise. There's other things. Maybe the kids from paradise wander off and play, and we see those while we're driving on Clinton Road. You get my point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so if near El Castillo itself, you see nothing far away from El Castillo, everybody's interacting, regardless of what side they're on. Because this is natural and normal, and one of your leaders is a Jin, and the other one is a human. And it just makes perfect sense for everything to be nice and mixed up here.

Cristina: That's crazy. Okay. And she did that on purpose. Okay.

Jack: Nevertheless, they were known for doing what? Working on kids?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Portals. I don't know why this didn't come up before.

Cristina: That is weird. Oh, my gosh. She was just making portals.

Jack: And there's an island that was entirely dominated by Jin, which is La Isla de las Mun.

Cristina: Why is it called that, though?

Jack: Don't know. Don't worry about it. It's his name.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird names.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But, yeah, they had a bunch of Djinn and a bunch of human living on either side. No discrepancy, no discrimination. Just perfect hybrid. Yeah. You want to move over there? Well, you got to wait for the date or whatever.

Cristina: But today it's not like that. Like, these stories are old.

Jack: Well, let me tell you something very interesting. Where did the Mayans go? They just disappeared, we said. Underground.

Cristina: You'Re saying. Maybe not.

Jack: Maybe not.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They could have just dipped out. They could still be right where they were.

Cristina: We can't see them.

Jack: We can't with them. We can't touch them. We can't see them.

Cristina: I wonder why they decided that, though.

Jack: Because of a problem.

Cristina: It's always because of a problem, I guess. Yeah.

Jack: And it all happened around the same time. Something. Something. We still don't know what. Regardless of how much research we get, we'd never get the answer.

Cristina: But you're thinking it was safer to hide in the shadow realm?

Jack: It was safer to hide in the.

Cristina: Shadow realm than be here.

Jack: And Jesus wasn't the problem. Because Jesus didn't give a s***. He was just doing whatever. Jesus went to the shadow.

Cristina: Exactly. Yeah. I was going to say, like, he's over there, too.

Jack: So, you know, he could easily go in and out. It's weird, right? Yeah, they probably dipped out to the shadow realm.

Cristina: But why? So many questions. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. That kind of merits looking at them again. So, yeah, twice a year, they would do this. It's crazy, because it just makes total sense. And the ritual basically involved crossing the threshold of El Castillo. Often, people would be, quote, sacrificed at the top of El Castillo's threshold, which isn't a f****** sacrifice with this context.

Cristina: It's just part of the process.

Jack: Just what you do. I want to move over there.

Cristina: But they all decided to do that.

Jack: They had to. At some point, for some reason. Everybody, we all gotta go.

Cristina: Why? What a mystery. We gotta find out.

Jack: We still don't know why. We've been looking for years at this point.

Cristina: Yes, but this is so different. Because we thought that they went underground and.

Jack: No, well, where they went changed. But why they went is still the same question.

Cristina: Yes, I guess it's still the same question. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. If we were going to find out.

Cristina: For Jesus, the other thing might have made a little bit more sense.

Jack: Yeah. So it's. I mean, now we know it couldn't have been Jesus wasn't doing anything to hurt people. Well, at least the Elysians were definitely threatened by Jesus. And the last one is called the Quiet Towns. This one is in Russia. These are villages said to be invisible to the human eye, but their imprint could be visible in the form of abandoned structures and the silhouette of invisible structures in the night.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: You could see buildings that aren't there at night.

Cristina: Sometimes I feel like we were talking about something like that in Paradise. Not paradise in Clinton Road. I'm not sure what the stories were that led us to that conversation of like, maybe there's things, buildings there. Maybe it was time related that we can't see.

Jack: Oh yeah.

Cristina: It could be shadow realm related. I'm not sure. Yeah, like maybe that's why people see things.

Jack: People through the thin places, seeing structures that weren't there. Yeah.

Cristina: So that could be what's going on.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now again we enter an area with three individuals, so inhabited by the Rusalka, which are water nymphs and spirits and the souls of the dead. That's three different things.

Cristina: Water nymphs.

Jack: Yeah, but that could be anything. They're being so specific there. It could literally not unless they had a very specific kind of creature existing in the area.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now here we enter again. Were they known for abducting children with the explicit intent of cultivating a hybrid civilization between the spirits and the humans? Always allowing the existence of nymphs and spirits among humans to be so normal and common that they'd never draw attention to themselves. It's just about living in harmony. You don't want to be weird. So you get used to having some of us and we'll get used to having some of you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Weirdly enough, these are considered sacred places and places of good luck and great fortune.

Cristina: These places, the quiet town.

Jack: Yeah. Old lore suggests people would pray their infant children would be selected and blessed by the spirits.

Cristina: Nymphs, that's different. But okay.

Jack: Now it's almost. Until the context gets added, having a spirit child meant indefinite protection for the family checks out. If their kid is now with you and your kid is with them, you're.

Cristina: Tied together will protect you.

Jack: They're gonna protect you. That's really their child. And they're raising your child. They feel they owe you something.

Cristina: That's interesting. That's weird that it didn't work out like that for, like, other places that have this kind of thing going on. But they're like, no, they stole my child. Like, they're fearful of their child being swapped. Not like this where they're praying that.

Jack: Fair enough. I don't think they were particularly horrified of it because they were like, oh, these are just whack band in places or whatever. But definitely it wasn't like, oh, it's good that my kid got kidnapped. But here's like, please take my baby and give me one of yours. It was like, they're praying my kid will always be protected if you take them.

Cristina: Yes. They have much better relationship.

Jack: Yeah. It's the highest honor to have your baby taken by the spirits. Weird. Having an abducted child meant always having family among the spirits. Logic.

Cristina: I wonder if there's stories like that. Then. Like, I'm thinking about Clinton Road. But, like, it doesn't matter because, like, it's just a bunch of people being kidnapped. So it doesn't. Like, how many are children? How many are not even in the area that are being taken to the area?

Jack: Yeah. It's visitors being that go missing. There's no locals go missing. It's weird. Right? This makes perfect sense. This is. I. It looks like everything else we just read is an attempt to get this going. Everything else is trying to accomplish what just goes on in quiet towns.

Cristina: It really depends on how fearful the humans, I guess, are in the area.

Jack: Yes, 100%. But it makes perfect sense. You please take my child because my family will forever be safe. Because the spirits will protect and my child will be blessed in the greatest of ways. I couldn't even imagine how they bless my child. It'll be raised among the spirits and in. In this place beyond my comprehension.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I will raise their child, making sure that they always look kindly upon us. Well, it literally says that the family of the nymph and the spirits. The spirits and nymphs would always look kindly upon the family that they shared offspring with. The swap ties you to whatever family took your child. You are now an extended family of jinn and humans.

Cristina: And that's only happening in this location.

Jack: That's the way they're interpreting it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm sure. That's kind of what's happening everywhere else. Where it's like, well, we put our kid there.

Cristina: Yeah, we're gonna. So no one uses this type language.

Jack: To describe everyone else. Is like, oh, my God, something off with my child. It's like, you'd be fine. You're fine. Nothing's ever. Nothing else has ever happened because they're just watching over you now.

Cristina: Except they did murder your child.

Jack: They don't know that. They don't know that. They just think I was being raised over there. No, that kid was killed. Yeah, but I mean, it's physically killed. It's fine.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess it's fine.

Jack: As fine as it could be for the situation. Weird. These are the things I have found that kind of fit perfectly and enlighten what could be happening in Paradise Road. In fact, it kind of makes paradise work a little boring. All these are way cooler. In fact, the quiet town is the best one because it's. They turn it into literal ritual and religion and faith and tradition.

Cristina: That's pretty cool. But that. That one's appears every so often. What was it, 100 years? That's the one.

Jack: No, that is one of the earlier ones. That's the Brigadoon in Scotland.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's all we gotta look at. That's some whole other going on that kind of fits, but also kind of has a lot of differences going on.

Cristina: And this one then is. It's still happening. It's still. It's just an everyday thing.

Jack: What, the other quiet towns? Yeah, yeah. It's. Older folk believe in it.

Cristina: That's so weird. It is like paradise everywhere.

Jack: Yes. Yeah, it is. Paradise Road everywhere. And a lot of these places, everything that I didn't mention that. Keep in mind, I began by explaining the details. That every single one of these towns has exactly the same folklore, exactly the same kind of. There's a way in or something. The finer details. The only part that they don't all have is the abduction part, because some of them didn't. But there's a lot to do. And. Yeah, it's just like this kind of is everywhere. And it's probably what's happening in Paradise.

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Except paradise might be a little sketchier. Maybe it might be leaning towards malicious. A little.

Cristina: Yes. Because there's. There is a secret group of something happening underneath the castle, most likely. Come on.

Jack: Like. Yeah. There's no culture around it. It's kind of just like, f*** these families.

Cristina: Yes. There's some kind of dark happening.

Jack: Yeah. Compared to the cultural Development of older variations of this. It's boring. But when we take away the fact that this has happened for a long time, then we have to consider an interesting fact. Everything I just told you about is ancient. Not Paradise Road.

Cristina: No. Okay.

Jack: That's new and sketchy as.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's weird things happening that lean more towards science, less towards tradition and ritual and the want to interact safely with humans. No, there's no vibe about interacting safely with humans going.

Cristina: No, not at all.

Jack: Not present by any means.

Cristina: Why is it so much more darker?

Jack: It is, though, creepy and malicious feeling.

Cristina: Yeah. And you didn't find any creepy stories like that, though.

Jack: Not any important relevance what we're talking about.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Nothing that lined up so hard. Like these. These were the biggest.

Cristina: Interesting. The ones that stand out, though the ones that match the most are nothing like it. They're also more peaceful. Like. Yes, you're fearful of it, but it's.

Jack: Not because it's the unknown.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's all it is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's not like in every case it's the unknown. Except for the Russians that apparently you just can't f****** scare Russians. They're just like, whatever, Take my child, b****.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They're just cool with it, like, whatever.

Cristina: Very strange what's happening. It's something different about Clinton still.

Jack: Yeah. Paradise is weird, man. There's something off there. It fits a lot of these characteristics, but with the most similar being the he bottle villages. But the he bought a village is ultimately just, you know, where the spirits are up there. The.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. But that would be the most similar in that. But then ultimately the goal is still to have a connection between the people. And the santeras are just witches, which are really just jinn women or wizards who would be gin men who were just traded at birth.

Cristina: Yeah. There's nothing like. There's nothing suspicious about any of it.

Jack: It's so transparent. And then you have paradise and Clinton and there's nothing but sketch.

Cristina: Yeah. What is going on? This just makes me question what's going on over there. Yes.

Jack: Anyways, that's what we got. That's what it is. I found some interesting things. I thought that was really cool. All of these different, you know, enlightening. And it. It also fits not just the fact that it kind of enlightens what's happening in Clinton, but the hybrid civilizations that we knew there had to be more of.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And now we found the third. We've known of Naga, we've known of Nephilim, and now we have of Jim. And it seems that Jin. The most obvious of them that should be the most of is everywhere.

Cristina: Of course. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Because it'd be more rare to have like Naga everywhere. That has to be private. Private. And the nephilim, you know, you don't necessarily look as human as the rest of us, so, you know, private. Private.

Cristina: That is really cool though. Yeah, that's really cool. Weird.

Jack: Interesting. And all for peace in most cases. For peace. It's just for peace and to communicate and to share. And these people literally developed. The Russians literally developed a culture around it.

Cristina: That's cool. And it's just. It's just very strange. It just makes the other place very suspicious.

Jack: Yes. So three things to look at. We have to look deeper into paradise and Clinton. We have to look into the Brigadoon and find out what the h*** this hundred year thing is. That's f****** weird.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And definitely some refinement to be done about the Mayans.

Cristina: Yes. Where did they really go and why?

Jack: They're probably just still there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Probably just there right in front of us, but we can't see them.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: I like that.

Jack: Yes. Anywho, if you guys have any input, any thoughts, any ideas. If this information made you think of anything, let us know.

Rambling 281: Clinton Road: Part 2: Shadows

If Ghosts we title Echoes are visible time loops that can’t be interacted with, what is its opposite? Can Phantoms be interacted with? What are they? The duo continue unpacking the narratives around Clinton Road on their endless quest to understand what happened in their childhood. No longer looking at Echoes, they focus on the things that react to visitors. The stones uncovered will reveal some new perspectives never before visited on the show!

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And so we do that.

Cristina: Do that every week.

Jack: We do that every week. We do that all the time. And so, you know, in the last couple of years, we've gotten way informed on a lot of sort of esoteric and stoic knowledge. Things hidden, you know, the, the secret scriptures and the secret texts and lost civilization things, and cross referencing information that suggested so many things. Anybody who's been following knows what we're talking about. So we've used this knowledge recently because it looks like we were digging into an infinite hole.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So let's use the knowledge instead of continuing to dig the infinite hole and apply it to other places that have very similar conditions. And so we've started to unravel things. And so last week we're digging a new hole. No, we're using the information we have from the hole to compare to other things and be like, oh, this looks like this over here and it looks like that over there. Okay, no more hole digging until something here informs us on which tool to go continue digging with. But point being that we were last week kind of going through some of the information that we were not talking about. But you know, we in the past have come across Clinton Road, which is a really odd place. And it had a lot of similarities to some of the things that we've recently uncovered. We've seen that we can find residue of high energy technology and it usually takes the form of space time alterations and odd anomalies. So looking for things like this informs us. And so two weeks ago we looked at a scenario that was heftily informed. I believe that was a skin walk around.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then before that again, we had another instance, some creepy mansion.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: The mansion. Yes. And directly after the Skinwalker Ranch, we did Stonehenge. All which have the same things. And what we find is the same things. Gateways and distortions and a lot of quote, ghosts.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So last week we go to the place we know has all of these things happening simultaneously on top of each other. And like I said, I broke it into three sections because there was absolutely too much happening in this one place and.

Cristina: Ridiculous amount.

Jack: Yes, too much. And for anybody who's not familiar, many, many, many years ago, maybe like four or five Years ago, we dove into the experience me and two friends had there, three friends. Of course, we couldn't get a contact with them, but we brought to them on the show. We talked to them and everything about how strange that place was. Everybody had different stories. Whatever. You guys can go look at it. It's Clinton Road. I think it was Halloween episode. It was like three episodes long or whatever. And last week, we were just going over anything that we would identify as an echo, a sort of replay of a different moment that is not interactable necessarily, but rather something that's happening but not now.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there was a lot, some things of which were very important that we need to look at in the future. But that was only one of three sections I'd made because that was just the echoes. This week, I would like us to dive into the things that do respond to people. Not that just play on a loop, but the things in Clinton Road that seem to not be an echo, that seem to actually be a thing of some sort.

Cristina: Like a conscience thing.

Jack: Something thinking. Yeah, something responsive. Something maybe dangerous, maybe not.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But that can respond. That seems to be moving with intention as opposed to a replay of a moment.

Cristina: Horrifying.

Jack: So next to the word phantoms, I've put conscious. I've put thinking intentional entities that are non human and probably could be from a different realm. I'm assuming the shadow realm, because Elfame or any higher level might be unlikely.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So let's unpack some of these details. This is a little bit shorter than the echoes of which there were many. This is still pretty long, but it was just a couple shorter. So let's start by going into the pickup truck. This is probably the most known thing on this road. There's literally movies that have taken this concept and rolled with it. And it's just some menacing black pickup truck that allegedly chases drivers at night, only vanishing when there's another car coming towards them or when they are successfully in something faster. And funny enough, it faster is very exact thing, because faster is conditional. People have been in supercars running down the street, and this pickup keeps up.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: That's weird. But if this pickup truck isn't physically here, if this pickup truck is in a different space where whatever is there knows how to manipulate the sort of distortion to cover ground faster, then it would look like you have this sort of ghost truck following you at an impossibly fast speed. But maybe on their side, it's normal speed, but they know how to move in such a way that over here we move fast.

Cristina: How do we know this isn't an echo? What makes it different?

Jack: Because it does interact with people. This is where the speed becomes very important because the vanishing and the fact that it's on the road. Very interesting here. Now it has moved around cars. Oh, it has moved around cars. It has diverted to hit cars. Somebody jumps off the road and it'll jump off the road behind them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's very, very different than something on replay. Now, what's weird about this place is that it seems to happen at exactly between four and six miles, nowhere outside that range, which means there is a particular heavy amount of distortion that somebody's abusing there, I suspect, at least.

Cristina: Yes, but not the person driving the truck. They're just driving their truck.

Jack: They're not. I think that there's just a nice little fold.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of the two realms here. And he's just on his end, but he can clearly see because people from the shadow realm can just see us or whatever the f***. I have no idea how that works. Maybe it's the same that, like, as fear manifests, we start showing up over there more and they start showing up over here more, and so the lines start to blur.

Cristina: It could. Like, we don't have any proof of that. But why can't it be that.

Jack: Yeah, it'd be weird if it was just one way in this direction.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But then it's. Yeah, I guess it would. I guess the argument would be that it's not that they're coming over here, but the veil is thinning.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so we're sort of coming closer together in general.

Cristina: That could be it. We don't know.

Jack: Yeah, because we've always thought about it like, oh, the people from the shadow realm with fear start coming this way, but, like.

Cristina: Because it seems easier for them for it to be that way.

Jack: Yeah. But when we think about it, if they aren't actually over here, how are they seeing us? Yes, we're seeing them because they're phasing over here. But are they seeing themselves over there and themselves over here? That can't. That doesn't. Make sense.

Cristina: That doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, they're probably just seeing us start to fade in over there, and then they start to prey on us.

Cristina: Yes. Yep.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: That could be. That could be. I know there's ways in and out, but there's this other thing of just, like we're somehow in between both.

Jack: Yes. We're somehow at all times, well connected enough. And it's. It's a dial Right. You could turn it and sort of enhance how much of the entanglement is how much is crossed in that moment.

Cristina: How's that happening? But, yeah, I think that might be what's happening.

Jack: And in the case of this truck, I think that 4 to 6 mile range is a particularly dense area, which brings up an interesting point. Maybe this is a focal point of one of the major events that took.

Cristina: Place here in the future. Maybe. Question, I believe. Yeah.

Jack: Because there's. We look back and we find so little. We look. Well, we can't look forward. But the fact that, again, it's possible that a spacetime distortion from the future ruins the past, because that's how it works. It's space time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And this distortion is huge here. But also the logic could be that it's a long, long street with no lights.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Maybe people start to panic around the same distance.

Cristina: I wonder. I wonder what it is. I wonder if we'll find a glimpse of what really happens in the future, though, through this conversation. Maybe eventually, like. Because the weird thing that happens there may even be from the shadow realm. Because we know they do experiments like we do. They do experiments here, but they also do experiments there. So what if this is just a spot where both sides were doing experiments?

Jack: Doesn't even have to be both sides doing experiments, because there's many instances just this side doing experiments, and that can mess it up. So why wouldn't it be that only on that side and cause the same thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Especially after we know that it's almost like we are in the same space, but somehow a barrier was built to divide them. There's a wall that was put in between this realm and that realm. There isn't. The word realm ceases to lose meaning when we back up far enough because, well, this is just, you know, that room. And then he put walls around that room and called it Earth Realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's hard for us to get out the room, but we can.

Cristina: Yeah. It is up or down.

Jack: That's how it seems to be in every direction. Yeah. Which. It's weird, but this kind of really leans into the flatter theory. Right. Of like, well, they walled us in, but they're really out there. There's more.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I mean, weirdly enough, that's kind of on the nose, but about the wrong thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But, yeah, this truck is responsive. It is responsive. It chases people. My idea is 10 miles Clinton Road, 4 to 6 miles. But what does that mean? That means if I enter from north, four miles in. If I enter from south, four miles in. It's the same distance either way. It could just be the people within. Like, as you start getting more and more. You start getting more panicking, more paranoid. And so in the middle is where people are the most freaked out. Which would make sense that enough people freaked out consistently going through at that level of panic. More and more and more about that truck.

Cristina: Also will be pushing that too.

Jack: Not even hearing about the truck, but hearing about all the other things that happen here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then you get to this part, and maybe this guy is just some dude who lives on the other side, but in this part of it. And maybe he is a bad guy.

Cristina: Or he just wants that fear. Like, it's not really about murdering anyone. It's just like he knows he hasn't done.

Jack: Yes. That's another thing I found interesting. So the truck does show up. The truck chases people. But I made sure to mention the weirdest part about this, which is right before he does anything, he always disappears.

Cristina: Yeah. He's about to want it. And then he goes. Yeah.

Jack: He'll jump on the lane you're in from far ahead and drive straight towards you and drive straight at you and then just f****** veer off into the woods and disappear.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like he's f****** with you. He's f****** with you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Whoever that is, just f****** with you. He's not trying to kill you. That's the weirdest part. But it's so intentional. It's like he's f****** with you legitimately in an impossibly fast pickup truck that looks like a moving shadow.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder if it's possible. It's. He was a human who ended up over there. Fascinating, because there are those cases and.

Jack: There'S hella thin places around here. Could just be slipping in and falling on the other side.

Cristina: Yeah. He just knows what he needs. He's probably was hooked on it. Adrenochrome when he was alive and, you know, died.

Jack: Which then goes back to all the. That's here. There's been cults and there's been sacrifices, and there's been a lot of.

Cristina: Yeah, a lot of adrenal chrome and stuff going on.

Jack: So anytime we find something weird, this is the thing. Right. We realize in the beginning of our journey, adrenochrome is everywhere. Everybody's doing adrenochrome and that's what's up.

Cristina: Yes. But then when those people die, it's even worse.

Jack: It's even worse because they lose their minds on the other side or they. In the Fear of knowing they're gonna lose their mind. They getting desperate to get back over here and get adrenochrome. So.

Cristina: So it could just be one of those people.

Jack: Could definitely be. And as long as he sustains the fear, he doesn't need the blood. Yeah, that could totally make sense. He has to. He has to cultivate it over and over and over. And it's like, I'm stuck over here, but I'm. I'm not gonna go crazy. I refuse. And I'm gonna just with people every day if I have to.

Cristina: Could be. It's really easy for him.

Jack: He's gonna get us fixed. He needs it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it's a problem, people up, they. They go in and they don't realize how bad this really is. Now, the next one is children. This one is very specific. Apparitions of children playing on the roadside who vanish upon approach but can be seen waving at passersby. Oh, I thought echo when I was first looking at the mentions of this. And then I started looking deeper in, and it's like some people have these kids get excited, get up, look at them, start running towards them and disappear.

Cristina: It's hard to tell, though, between echo and not echo. It's really, really.

Jack: It is absolutely not the moment something is responsive. The fact that somebody stood there and then they started waving as opposed to. They're just waving at nothing.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The echo would be doing the action regardless. It's not responding to an environment. It's not there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anything responsive cannot be an echo by default. This is the easiest distinction to make. It's not difficult.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It will be responsive. If it's not. If you stand in front of it and you're like, hey. And it's like looking right through you and doesn't notice and walks right through you, and that's an echo. It doesn't realize you're present. But these kids see a car drive by. People see the kids play. They think ghost. The kids see the car. The kids, excited, get up and wave. What's weird about this is that they're not trying to get to the street. They're not trying to get to the street. They're just aware of the cars passing by, and so they wave.

Cristina: That's so weird.

Jack: Like, they know they can't make it.

Cristina: How many children is.

Jack: It varies.

Cristina: It varies.

Jack: But it's like they know they can't get to the street. There's an awareness of, oh, it's another car coming. How there's another weird thing from the.

Cristina: Other side that is weird. But is there they just look like normal children, too?

Jack: It's unclear. Small people.

Cristina: Small people.

Jack: Small people that appear to be children playing. Yeah, it's Clinton Road. Nothing is a specific description. It's night. Always.

Cristina: It's always night. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. It's impossible. Any clear description you want, you will not get. Yeah, this is Clinton Road at night, every time. And, like, kids that's in the woods, like, how detailed can you get?

Cristina: That is so creepy.

Jack: Yeah. But the fact that they know you're there, they'll just be minding their business. A car rolls by, somebody. Oh, kids. And then the kids and like, oh, my God, let's just keep going. But ultimately, the kids notice cars, but.

Cristina: If you stop, they would just be gone.

Jack: No, if they run towards you, there's like a barrier that they can't make it past because they vanish.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Oh, that's even scarier. Oh, my gosh. They run towards you and then just.

Jack: Yeah. So my idea would be that unlike visual thin places that we can see through and look to a different time or an echo that's just a fold repeating. I think this would be a literal. Not just thin places towards the past, but thin places towards the shadow realm. And, like, they can see through, but it's bubbles that they can't get through. Weirdly enough, same as us thousand years ago, looking at the sky and seeing a plane. And it's just because on the other side of the bubble, a plane went in front of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So there must be in front of this playground or whatever, a thin place just at the right angle that you can see it for maybe a hundred feet or so into the other side, and they can see you back and then you can interact, but beyond a certain angle, you can't. That's what it seems to me. Because they are responsive. They look in the wave, excited to see, and then they're just not there suddenly. But only do it when there's somebody you don't arrive and they're already in the motion. They're always awesome. Kids saw me and they came and they were coming to say hi, and they just not there suddenly. Yeah, it's pretty up.

Cristina: That's. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I guess that there's children on that side. Why not?

Jack: Why wouldn't there be? They're just people. Jin are just people.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But I think this falls into something from the shadow room. The fact that they see the cars and they get excited. They're just kids. They're not trying to f*** with people. The way that pickup is they're really genuinely just kids or seems to be to people.

Cristina: But that's. That's it.

Jack: Yeah. They seem childish. The next one gets to more personal areas for me, which is disembodied voices, whispering voices heard in the woods, often leading people to feel as though they're being watched or followed.

Cristina: This is one that they say your name. We heard we were talking about one before on the last episode about someone saying your name.

Jack: This is unrelated to anything from last episode. These are all new things.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. This is just voices.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And these voices seem to be following people and it makes people feel like they're being watched. But mainly is that they're being followed because the voices are continuously behind them or next to them, around them. The voices tend to be unclear, but the voices seem like they're speaking a language. But it's also very, very off putting and very disturbing. The sort of guttural sounds that get made. It sounds like language, but like a demon is talking to people. It's the best way that people have described it. I would argue that we're hearing Jin language.

Cristina: Okay. Like shadow realm.

Jack: Yeah. And like it just sounds up to us because we've never discussed what it would sound like to speak in a place that's not physical. You don't have. You don't have vocal cords or anything.

Cristina: But they got. I would assume they have some kind of language because we do hear about people who do go over there and communicate with them.

Jack: And here's another thing. If I don't understand. I was thinking about this and just because I said this, it made me think about it again. I don't understand how it is that all the old text we find describes the shadow realm as a non physical place. But physical beings can so easily traverse. But also adrenochrome makes you traverse. I don't understand that problem. Because you have to stop being physical to get there with adrenochrome. But you can. Like the judge just walked in.

Cristina: Well, we don't know his life. What if he had Jesse? He had adrenal crown before.

Jack: How do you get back out? How does anybody go in and out? How do you get your body into a non physical place and then walk out still physical. Your body doesn't just dissolve and disappear and you can't ever come back. That doesn't make sense. There's some interpretation that's wrong there. Because that is a conflict of description is contradicting.

Cristina: It's a paradox.

Jack: You can't both be physical on the other side and not be physical on the other side. On the flip side, we do discuss ourselves as physical and non physical. There is a soul version of me that's controlling my body and then there's the body that the soul is controlling. There's the physical and the metaphysical simultaneously. But then that means that all the descriptions they have of the other side are f****** stupid because it's just this. But over there. Well, it's a non physical place. Your souls and stuff. It's like. You mean like we have over here?

Cristina: But is our body going in there? Our body's falling asleep and then we go in there. Like how does that.

Jack: I don't know. How would the Judge enter on earth realm on this side, take a shortcut in there and then pop out somewhere else? His body then just flatline over here and stay there unconscious, and then teleport to the other side of Earth?

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Do you see the problem? There are active contradictions. And how this is described. There's something we don't understand necessarily because it's described as such a physical place. And you need adrenochrome to have a certain state. But also, let's think about adrenochrome. It's a physical thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why would it take you somewhere non physical?

Cristina: It has to be just physical in a different way. It's not non physical. It's just.

Jack: Yeah, there's something we're not grasping about it.

Cristina: Yeah, but you need. You need it still to get there and somehow.

Jack: Yes, yes. Even with a gate, you cannot enter the shadow realm unless you've had adrenochrome. We thought adrenochrome meant only after you die. But then later we find out some people can actually just walk in every time except the Judge. That we don't know for a fact. But every other time required adrenochrome. So it's a physical place that requires that no matter what, something about the adrenochrome allows your body to adapt to the conditions of the shadow realm. I don't think it's not a physical place. I think they were focusing on the descriptions of what adrenochrome is doing in order to describe what the place is. Yeah, I think that's the reality of the matter. I don't think it's not a physical place. I think it's a different realm. Obviously it's a different space that requires some alteration physically that is different than what we consider normal on the side. And so in their attempt to describe that, it sounds like you're talking about something non physical.

Cristina: But I don't think you actually. You don't need adrenochrome because necromancers don't. They just need a state of mind. They. They can do it. Yes, they can. Just.

Jack: But there's also heavy understanding. And they have stones that are made of the same thing.

Cristina: They have the stones to do it.

Jack: They have the stones to do it. And it's made of the same thing that adrenochrome is. It's just not in their body. Now this is an interesting point you bring because Adrian, necromancers don't need to consume it yet their body can still exist in the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now let's take a step back because we don't have an instance of a necromancer in the Shadow Realm that we've ever read. We just know it says they can. But the only time we have them actually traversing instead of giving somebody the way to is through Elfhame. And we don't even know if they physically stand in Elfame as opposed to use Elfame to cut through.

Cristina: That's exactly what it seems like.

Jack: Yeah. Which means they're not entering the Shadow Realm either.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Because we've never had a single discussion that says they entered the Shadow Realm. They just know how to get there. Which presumably means they know how to navigate the Shadow Realm even if they don't enter the Shadow Realm as a shortcut. Another shortcut. They can get anywhere, anytime, however they want.

Cristina: Yeah. That's so weird though. What is that? What?

Jack: Unless Elfame and the Shadow Realm are physical, which seems to be the case too. I don't know. It's so many contradictions there. Yes, but maybe if it. If it's not a different layer and it all is seamless, just with barriers like flat earth. A circle within a circle within a circle. If that's the case, then a necromancer literally enters the Shadow Realm. And a necromancer literally enters all fame.

Cristina: But as far as we know, that doesn't happen. Really?

Jack: We don't have a mention of either. Yeah, I've never seen a mention of either of those scenarios happening.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we don't even have Santa Claus entering the Shadow Room.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Nothing.

Cristina: Jesus. Entering the Shadow Realm after he died. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's.

Jack: The rules feel consistent. There is consistency. He didn't enter. He exited. He died. To get there.

Cristina: He died. He went to their prison, kidnapped a bunch of them, got some stones.

Jack: People over here thought it was part of their plan. To get rid of Jesus. Little did they know, Jesus planned every part of it. He needed to get over there.

Cristina: Yes, Very weird.

Jack: But then the transition state, I think is important, which then brings up a different problem. Did Hermes have to die? Because one very important thing we have to remember about necromancers is what are they most known for? Relating to the dead. The dead and death.

Cristina: That is interesting.

Jack: That is very interesting.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And Jesus is an example of somebody who didn't touch the other side until he died.

Cristina: So do they have to die?

Jack: Do they all have to?

Cristina: I think so, because Santa Claus, obviously that happened to him. That's why we have this Nicholas, who's so different from Sam. There was some metamorphosis, something that happened there, obviously.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I don't know about Patrick.

Jack: I don't. I don't know about that. But he's also loosely the bottom tier of this.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Meanwhile, Merlin has several stories of his end.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah, yeah, this is making sense. Yeah.

Jack: So all necromancers must. Or at least it seems to be, death is part of the process.

Cristina: I think so. I think so.

Jack: Mm.

Cristina: It makes sense.

Jack: Which means Hermes probably consumed adrenochrome, but in a scientific correct way that keeps him in control just so he can cross over to the other side.

Cristina: Actually, yeah, I think that's right. I think they had to die.

Jack: I think he had to die. We might not have the text, but we have Jesus the only example of a necromancer entering the shadow realm and he had to die to get there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it was so easy and it was so simple and you could just get there, why do you need to die?

Cristina: That doesn't make sense. Is the Judge.

Jack: Judge doesn't make sense. How do you get in?

Cristina: Unless he was a living dead person and just didn't know it.

Jack: Interest. So in any case, the idea is we have to find Inanna's brother and see what. We gotta really dive into him and.

Cristina: Find out what the stories they have about him does.

Jack: Can we find that the Judge has died? That's the reality of the matter. Can we find if the Judge has died?

Cristina: I think. I think we will find. Because if he has one weird story, I'm sure there's other weird stories he's involved in.

Jack: But then that brings up a really, really, really exaggeratedly interesting question that we didn't cross at any moment.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: The Judge is the third necromancer. Fourth.

Cristina: Fourth Jesus?

Jack: No, he's like fifth Jesus, Merlin, Santa Patrick, the Judge, and Hermes number six.

Cristina: Oh, Hermes. Yeah.

Jack: Six necromancers in all of history.

Cristina: I would think so. I think so. I think we're on to something.

Jack: So. So then the question is, is the judge a necromancer?

Cristina: He might be even one of them. Like, we don't know. They all live such long lives.

Jack: I know. It's so weird, bro. It's so weird. There's some timeline distortions in this whole narrative. That's f*****. Some people go millions, some people go hundreds of thousands.

Cristina: So many different lies. We know Jesus had so many lives. Like, he wasn't just the Jesus in that place, but he was the whatever in that other place and the whatever in that other place.

Jack: Yeah, but this lives is an exaggeration because we're talking about.

Cristina: No, he was still living one life.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like not even that far apart. We're talking like he was here a couple of months. He was there a couple.

Cristina: Yes, but like that. They all seem to have that type of thing of like, I'm gonna pretend to be this person over there and I don't think.

Jack: I don't. The. The dialogue you're using, I think is incorrect. I don't think it's pretending. I think we're talking about him going to different places where people speak different languages and they're using their interpretation of what his name would be.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so he lands at a different name and they're using their words to describe him, which is why the words aren't exactly the same, but they're so similar. If we were to paint the picture, he would look the same.

Cristina: Yeah. So this guy could just be someone else that we've met before and we just don't know it.

Jack: Interesting, interesting, interesting. You believe the judge could just be one of these other guys?

Cristina: Like, who knows? Because it's so rare that it would happen. To imagine that this is just another one, it's harder to believe.

Jack: Yeah. But it's also equally hard to believe. Yeah. It's like to imagine he's another one is really hard. And to imagine he's some casual who just enters the shadow realm is even more. Yes. Now here's something that we do have to look at though, because now thinking about it, he can't be a necromancer. He can't be. At least not in a way he's aware of, because he was shocked by the entrance. He had discovered it and was like, what the f***? And then he told his sister and he was like, it's the craziest thing. And she was like, show me. And then that's how they found the kingdom on the other side. He, you know, he became homies as he went through.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So he wasn't a necromancer, at least knowingly. If he was, he maybe stumbled upon a process or something.

Cristina: Probably some story. There's other things, though, that they rarely talk about. Like the plants and the app, the fruits and, you know, things like that.

Jack: There are other ways.

Cristina: So rare. But, like, humans don't interact.

Jack: Like, really.

Cristina: Yes. Like, he might have found one of those things.

Jack: You're totally right. So the science is very likely the fruit hard. You gotta go to the shadow room to do it.

Cristina: Yeah. But, like, there are things that exists that just don't get talked about because.

Jack: Like, plants are on this side and.

Cristina: They'Re, like, heavily guarded. So if he stumbled upon it.

Jack: Not the flower. The flower wasn't. The flower is just a flower.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The flower was not heavily guarded. In fact, the mention we got of it was just somebody figured out that this could do that.

Cristina: Yeah. So, like, he could.

Jack: Maybe that's flowers in more places, but we can't tell it apart from something else. Oh, it's just a flower. But if we saw it and we knew what it was, we can consume it and without. Because we know that adrenochrome is the addictive one. But there are other things. Adrenochrome comes in three parts. It's ichor, it's ambrosia, and it's the literal liquid of nectar. Those are the three states. What is it? Ambrosia is the little organs that are adrenochrome dense. And then there is the. What is ambrosia? There is ichor, which is distilled. It's after it's been consumed. Yeah, it's the blood. I mean, they're all blood, but after it's been distilled, somebody consumed adrenochrome. And now you take the blood of a person who's consumed adrenochrome, and it sort of went through a process.

Cristina: Vampirism.

Jack: And then there is the. Not ambrosia. Nectar, which is just liquid. It's drinking the blood. It's just drinking the blood. It's Jesus's preferred form. But although Jesus is very known for both. He likes ambrosia, he likes to consume the individual, and he likes to drink their blood, too.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or at least he's discovered is the most efficient combination. It doesn't look like he did ichor, but it looks like he gave people ichor.

Cristina: Yes. He loved sharing it.

Jack: Yes. Now, interesting point. The descriptions. I didn't think about this until right now. The descriptions that we went through about ichor, ambrosia and nectar make it seem like ichor is the valuable one because people who are normal can take it and die. It's super strong. But Jesus was giving people ick. Ichor, not adrenochrome or ambrosia. He was giving himself.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To them, which is ichor. Even if it's his flesh, that would look like ambrosia. No, he had adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if it's his blood that you would call nectar. No, he had adrenochrome. Everything he's given you is actually ichor.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Nobody's as powerful as Jesus. The combination of ambrosia and nectar is stronger than the distilled ichor, which is both of them together. And he was giving his blood as high up on the totem pole as you can get. And still ichor was not as good. Is it because who he is, he can just do it with these two and be as powerful and like somebody having something stronger can't catch up? Or is it that there is an actual better combination to be had with ichor and. Well, I mean, with nectar and ambrosia, then there is to be had with ichor. And he knows the trick to it.

Cristina: He probably knows the trick to it.

Jack: Well, he's also a unique being. Why wouldn't it be the other? Why wouldn't it be that? Just. It doesn't matter what anybody else consumes. He's always going to be spirit.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know my point?

Cristina: We don't know what he is is very unique. Yeah.

Jack: Very special. So, yeah, just, you know, food for thought. Okay, next on the list, we have. It's weird about those disembodied voices, by the way.

Cristina: So you heard those disembodied verses.

Jack: Yeah, we heard children and we heard voices. I never saw the kids. But you remember we were hearing kids laugh.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: By the way, important detail. This just so happens to be on the road to paradise.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which is where we heard the kids.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's why I was saying that this is, like, personal.

Cristina: Yeah, that's.

Jack: This is right on the road to paradise, where this has been reported, which is where we were when we heard the kids laughing. Well, first we heard the laughter and we couldn't make it out. And then we pulled on the side where the car just stopped turning on, and then we just started hearing.

Cristina: What is the car turning up or is that something else? I will talk about in the future.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. That was a weird one. I looked when. Because of hearing the disembodied voices. It made me think about the car turning off. And then I was like, when has this happened? And there aren't mentions of this anywhere. This is just a weird thing that happened. It could have just been that our car was s*******. That was weird time. It was a weird timing. Yes, but, like, what weird timing?

Cristina: What we are timing, I don't understand.

Jack: Like, I can't explain it. But then the other thing is, let's. Let's have a quick. Maybe we're not gonna make it to the end of this. And this part alone is gonna be too. But we have to address this next point because I think I'm about to say something that's gonna make a lot of sense here. We hear the kids laugh. We hear laughter. We get on the dirt road. We pull up to the side just to scare the guys, lower the windows. We start to hear kids actually laughing. We're like, oh, f***. Like we were just f****** around, bros. F*** this. We put the windows up, trying to turn the car on. Wasn't turning on. We finally get the car on and we drive into paradise. Do you remember what happens next?

Cristina: You see a sign.

Jack: Yeah. Deaf children.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then the. The. The F is slashed and a D is put over it.

Cristina: The children.

Jack: Yeah, but that's not even the important part. What happens in paradise?

Cristina: That's all I remember.

Jack: You don't remember what happens when we drive into paradise?

Cristina: You hear more children. No.

Jack: We tried to get out of paradise and we can't.

Cristina: Oh, yes. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I don't know.

Jack: It's like you never remember anything I needed to remember. Not once. It's horrible. But we enter paradise and then we can't get out of paradise. Paradise is where we hear children. Paradise is where we hear laughter. Paradise is where the dead children sign is. Where did we enter when we went to paradise?

Cristina: Where did you enter? Some type of loop. Some type of time thing.

Jack: What else looks like a physical place on this side and is not supposed to be because it's a jumbled mess that somebody on this side wouldn't be able to navigate.

Cristina: I know I should know. I don't know.

Jack: I don't understand. What happens in your mind? Obviously the shadow realm, girl. It's the only thing that looks like a physical. I'm gonna just stop trying to get you guessing. It doesn't work ever. I just got to Tell you, showing you doesn't work. The shadow realm, like everything, its description is literally a physical earth place that looks like a jumbled mess of an example of a physical earth place. I don't know. I got to explain this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is what it is. And we enter, we see distortions, we hear distortions and turning. Or we drove straight. We turn around and we're trying to drive straight out and the exit's gone weird. That sounds like the shadow realm. Now how the f*** would we have entered? Second, it looked absolutely normal to us. So could it have been?

Cristina: It could just be the whole veil example thing of like you're just. You're seeing it, but you're not actually in it. Like they're seeing you and you're. They're not actually there.

Jack: Then the straight line would have gotten us out.

Cristina: There must have been something messing with you as well. Like an actual thing.

Jack: Right. And how is it gonna change the shadow realm structure or our. How is it gonna change the physical space we're in?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: There's a huge issue right there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We go in, yeah, like three blocks in, do a 180, no turns, drive the same path we got there through. See? None of the same s***. And the f****** dirt road's gone.

Cristina: I don't know. Some of them have abilities. Maybe it was messing with you guys.

Jack: And we take hella turns through paradise. When we took no turns, we take mad turns in paradise trying to find our way out. And somewhere in a different corner entirely, we find a dirt road again. And then we find our way out after like 20 minutes of doing circles when we had only gone in a straight line, turned around, tried to do the same straight line back and just dead end, no road. So what was that? I've thought about that following some of this research, and I'm like, man, this.

Cristina: Isn'T match up with anything.

Jack: Doesn't match with anything. This is easily the shadow realm. Minus the fact that it couldn't be. Because how the f***. Unless these descriptions of the shadow realm, we are taking them too literally. And it's not a non physical place. We did see a jumbled mess of something we had just looked at that looked normal.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We saw the same place jumbled up.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Nothing else changed except we couldn't navigate it. And it seemed bigger after we'd gone in.

Cristina: Soon as you got scared, as soon as the car. As the kid, children and the car.

Jack: As soon as it all. Yes, we fell into something. Right.

Cristina: Fear happened. This really overwhelming fear probably happened at that moment for all.

Jack: From all four of us at the same time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then we panic, go on the road, and then we slip in. But then the argument would be, you don't need adrenochrome and Jesus did. There's something wrong here. There's a contradiction still going on.

Cristina: Because I don't think you're really in it, though.

Jack: I don't think so either. So then. Okay, so then what you're talking about might be the logical path that maybe even the judge didn't.

Cristina: Yeah, he saw. He saw a glimpse of it, or they.

Jack: He was literally interacting with people on the other side. And he met Ixchel, which then came out and went to Maya. They were literally something is. But we're onto something now because if we. You're totally right. All of this followed the fear. Let's recount the story. We drive in first. We see the guy in the robe, a black guy essentially walking around in a KKK robe. Weirdest sight ever. Okay. With a machete or a shotgun. Nobody was clear on which one he was holding. Everybody had a different story. We get far enough, we see the deer cut open. Okay. Panic, you know, Everybody like, what the f***? Yeah, we get far enough, we hear the laughter. We try to scare the guys, end up scaring ourselves because we hear the kids. We take the dirt road and suddenly the s*** spins out of control and we're nowhere. But we're everywhere. Because the one road we took disappeared and now we're just in this mess and we can't get out. And then the road showed up somewhere else entirely. Maybe you're right and we're just seeing it because again, it doesn't make sense that they could see us and we can't see them. I think it's a notch where the more you turn it, the more both sides are close together. Not one side to this side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we're slowly more and more seeing.

Cristina: But you're not physically there. I'm not physically there seeing.

Jack: Now, in this instance, there is an interesting. This contradiction could then be resolved because when they're talking about the shadow or on being a non physical place, they are talking about getting there non physically through fear, through these other means that allows you to interact with that space without entering that space.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, okay. Yes.

Jack: And then there's a way to actually enter and be in the space which requires totally different means. In this scenario now we can apply the things that we didn't mention about necromancers. What are they really good at? Even if they don't cross. They're good at bridging communication. They're good at bringing things from that side over. They're good at interacting with things on that side, even if they don't go in. So they know how to turn the dial that allows them to f*** with things on that side without being on that side, which I would argue is stronger, more overpowered than having to be on that side. Additionally, if you have a Philosopher's Stone that has the ability to violate those rules, could you, in theory, use the Philosopher's Stone to make a sort of external shell that would allow you to enter without falling apart? Hence their ability to traverse and not be simultaneously. Like a suit made of. Think of Green Lantern puts the ring on and a green energy goes over his body. And now he can manipulate this energy. What if what's happening that's happens with the Philosopher's Stone? And I could use the Philosopher's Stone, create this energy around me, and just slip into the Shadow Realm without needing adrenochrome. Without the energy, I would just die over there or pop up over here, but I can literally be there without consuming adrenochrome. Now, Jesus didn't have Philosopher's stones. He went to acquire them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now we have a reason why he needs to die.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Maybe he didn't know how to make it. As overpowered as he is, he went to acquire them. Different.

Cristina: That's so weird that he didn't know how to. Because he knew how to make the Gates. The person who taught him how to make the Gates would know how to make it. Make a philosopher stone. Yeah, well, maybe Jesus wasn't into having to mass murder people.

Jack: Yeah. And he knew these things already exist. Let them kill me and I'll go get the stones, because I'm gonna be fine.

Cristina: Yeah. Mm. He just. He's just different.

Jack: He's just different. He. Look, he. His. Everybody who's ever talked about him said the same thing. He was preaching kindness the whole time. Regardless of what they saw him do or how they saw him do it. A lot of people were like, he did some pretty diabolical looking s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But attached to that, did he hurt anybody? Well, no, he did a bunch of diabolical s***. But he kind of just told us all to be kind to each other.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like fair.

Cristina: He's making an army. And his army aren't being forced to be his army. They're choosing to be his army. Whether it's from the Shadow Realm or it's us humans.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And you're just, we're on his side. They're on his side.

Jack: I mean, when your argument is be kind and stop anybody who's not, it's like, f***. I mean, yeah, bro. And look, I'll give you powers to do it. Oh, s***. You're gonna give me powers to be kind and stop anybody who's not. That's.

Cristina: The only people he wants to get rid of are the sea people, though. Like, that's clear.

Jack: And like, let's be fair as we've dug in deep into this, like, kind of. Yeah. It makes sense. Look, even if Jehovah's on the side of the people, like, you guys just ultimately only want them alive so you can keep running experiments.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You're like, don't let the civilization fall apart. We need to kill them for stones.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know, so ultimately that puts us back on Lucifer side. Right? Where he's like, give them tech so they could reach us. You're gonna kill them anyways.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Let those that can do it do it.

Cristina: Except that they couldn't.

Jack: Doesn't matter if they're gonna be massacred anyways. To make a stone. Give somebody a chance.

Cristina: Yeah, that's true. Okay.

Jack: This is all right, dude. I understand why the. The Lucifer, Jehovah problem is huge. Because it's, like, flopping back and forth.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: One of these guys is somehow right, or it's so nuanced that they're both right and wrong.

Cristina: Yes. I think that's more the most truthful.

Jack: Because in Jehovah's eyes, they're gonna die anyways, bro. I'm like, let's give them purpose. Let's let them their lives be used to improve the world. While Lucifer's argument is give them the choice. Let them choose what happens if it collapses. It was their choice, not yours.

Cristina: Yes. It's pretty good.

Jack: Like, f***, give them purpose. They're ignorant. Both of them are on point. Give them purpose. They are ignorant and they're gonna self destruct. Don't let them die meaninglessly. You give them this technology. They can't handle it. They will die meaninglessly and haven't gotten nothing. Which we see many relics from civilizations that are kind of Lucifer's fault. But he gave them a chance to make their choice. Jehovah is all about taking that choice.

Cristina: Away because he thinks that's safer.

Jack: He thinks it's better and more noble. Use them for something that they would be proud of. If they looked back. If they looked back a thousand years and thought, oh, I died in this moment, but all of human history improved because of my sacrifice. They would. His logic at least is they'd be happy.

Cristina: And what is Jesus point of view?

Jack: F*** both of them. Both of them. Don't give people technology so that they blow up and kill themselves and don't sacrifice people. Leave them alone.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which, like, okay, when? That's the third argument. Kind of f*** those two other guys. Yeah, that's legit. We can move slowly. It's fine. We don't need to f****** flash forward a million years instantly and then collapse because we couldn't deal with it. And we don't need some other guy sacrificing us to accomplish the same f****** thing. Yes, maybe f*** both of them and just let people do what they're gonna do if we kill ourselves.

Cristina: At least it was us.

Jack: At least it was us. No interference.

Cristina: Yeah, okay.

Jack: In that argument. Yeah. Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, all right.

Jack: It's a lot of sides and, like, nobody's right or wrong until you put Jesus in the mix. And I was like, well, that m************ are wrong.

Cristina: Yeah, well, yeah, he's pro human, so.

Jack: He'S pro human regardless. Even if the other two are technically pro human. It's a lot like leftists trying to decrease criminal sentences for people who. A black judge gave them a really large sentence and then they go to prison for this really long time. But leftists are like, that's unjust and blah, blah, blah. And then they go ahead and force a different judge to decrease the sentence and the guy gets out of prison and he gets murdered a week later. And then we truly go and talk to the people who understand, not just feel like they're gonna help. Oh, I want to help. I want to help. But you're ignorant. You're stupid. You don't know the situation. We go and talk to somebody on ground level. Well, the judge is families of the gang that's in the prison, and that guy is a neighborhood friend. He increased the sentence so that he goes to that prison specifically and is protected there. He was gonna stay alive in prison. You guys got him out and he got killed. That's Jehovah and Lucifer being helpful leftists.

Cristina: Jehovah and Lucifer or Peter trying to save animals but then killing dogs.

Jack: Yes. The same logic of, you're not being helpful, you're just thinking you're being helpful.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that's a very leftist ideology. So we can just throw Lucifer and Jehovah in the leftists and say, you're kind of ignorant. You think you're helping, but you're not on the ground level. Knowing what the people want.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You go to Jesus. Jesus is just asking people. Yeah. He's just like, I know why that guy went to prison on a really high sentence. He asked a judge for it. And you ignorant f**** don't know that Jesus is the guy who knows. He talks to the people. He's like, what do you guys want? Well, we just want to live our lives.

Cristina: He was forced to be with the people.

Jack: Yes. That's. That's literally Jehovah and Lucifer's fault.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: They made the problem that stopped them.

Cristina: Yes. That's really interesting.

Jack: They literally made him in a labor, and then they were like, f*** that guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And threw him to the people.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So the people were like, well, he's one of us, and he grew up as one of them. And they treated him right until. Who f***** him? The f****** people working with the Elysians.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: The Church came after him, huh? Even more incentive. F*** that. Let's work these a******* into my plan so I can f*** him more.

Cristina: Beautiful.

Jack: LinkedIn. Yeah. Sacrifice me. Totally, man. Kill me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he enters and goes. He took it from Lucifer, bro. Even if these two guys didn't agree, they were still eye to eye on the people. We need them for something. He just used Jehovah and his disdain for Lucifer. Got himself killed to enter, rob Lucifer, and then get back to Earth Realm knowing these two guys aren't gonna work together.

Cristina: No. Yeah, I guess.

Jack: Divide and conquer.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: F****** 3D chess, bro. I mean, 4D chess.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay. Weird one. I didn't know this next one originated here. I was looking to see if this came from somewhere else, but this actually comes from the New England era of the United States, which is. The Headless Horseman is a New Jersey Clinton Road thing.

Cristina: Yeah, it is.

Jack: I had no f****** idea that that originated over here.

Cristina: Yeah, it did.

Jack: In fact, I would have thought that this was, like, an Eng type of ghost.

Cristina: There's a lot of ghosts that actually were from around here.

Jack: Yeah. No, we are in weird land.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're in a really hot spot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Weird. New Jersey is legit.

Cristina: It is it. That's why.

Jack: Yeah. No, we are in some crazy hotspot. I had no idea. I thought the Headless Horseman was significantly older and, like, by default had to be some, like, European thing. Yeah, no, that is just a Jersey thing.

Cristina: It's a Jersey thing. Yeah.

Jack: It got taken and showed up in a million places. But, no, that's. That's us. That's a Jersey thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, this is described as a humanoid that looks kind of like a shadow that doesn't seem to have a head in the way we would describe. And he's on something that we would compare to a horse, but doesn't necessarily look like a horse. This tells us a couple of things. It's a jinn of some sort. And he looks kind of human, but he wouldn't look perfectly human. That makes no sense.

Cristina: So it's a creature from somewhere else writing a creature from somewhere else.

Jack: It would be the people of the shadow realm, the gym, and whatever their horse equivalent is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And based on everything else we know of the area. Now, there's a weird one. He doesn't f*** with people. Doesn't f*** with people. He's just not an echo. He is responsive. And here's the weird thing about this, right? People have yelled at him, and he'll stop and look like, turn his torso.

Cristina: Towards him and just gonna say, like, how.

Jack: You know, just turn and, like, wait. Like, he's just a dude. It seems like just a dude.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And he's like, okay. They, you know, people from the other side saw me. Let's, you know, let them have their moment or whatever. I'll stop here and let them roll by. Oh, they saw ghosts, whatever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's like, it looks like he's not f****** with people. He's not doing it. He's just there and people see him. People have, oh, my God. The headless. And then he just, you know, he'll stop and kind of behaves like a. Like if he's a tourist attraction.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, like, yeah, they're looking at me. Let me stop. And so he's very known for just stopping. He's very known for, like, approaching. But this. These descriptions are where it gets very informative because this falls in line with all the other things we saw of the things that interact. If you look at the truck, if you look at the children, proximity makes them vanish. But in his description, it's something very different. What, he gets close and gets more translucent. Yeah. So, like, really far away. It looks like whatever particles hold him together are denser together. But the closer he gets is like. If you were shrinking and looking at atoms more and more, everything would kind of look more far apart, more far apart. If you were the size of an atom, you wouldn't see two things touching ever. There'd be no body. There's no such thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Sort of that same thing. The closer he gets, the more through him. You could see.

Cristina: What does that mean, though?

Jack: I don't know. So when he's maybe 20ft away, he's so hard to make out. But he's there, and you know he's there. It's like closer than that, you know, you can't tell he's there anymore, but he's not. And that's closest. F***. By the way, 20ft is nuts. But. So he's fully aware you're there. And, you know, he. I did it. I tried to find if maybe his voices come from him or if he waves or something, like the kids. Yeah, none of that. But he is fully aware that people come through.

Cristina: You know, just sense that he. He notices you.

Jack: He. Well, people see him, and I guess he would hear them or see them himself. Because if we assume that there's a notch and you see him as much as he sees you, then he's aware. There's one road. There's one road. Anybody who is on the other side and wants to interact with humans, they know where the humans are. They're on the road.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so it really. These descriptions. Not that anywhere says what I'm saying, that he's behaving like a tourist attraction. But if you were to tell me to describe what's happening, he's behaving like a tourist attraction. He knows all those people entertained, want to be scared or whatever. I'm not gonna scare them too much because there are things out here.

Cristina: But he does like that fear. Probably a little bit.

Jack: Maybe he does cruise by the road. Honest.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Quote horse unquote. But he doesn't mess with people and he doesn't chase people or anything. It just. Maybe he's just interested in humans. And it's like, oh, cool spot where you can see humans. You know, it's possible.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which would. It totally has to be. I'm thinking the kids. There's no park there. I think the kids just like playing close to the road because they might see humans.

Cristina: Yeah. It might still be the fear thing of like, oh, we're gonna get something out of here, even if we're not gonna try anything. But we just know just being here.

Jack: Just being here, we'll see them, we'll.

Cristina: See them and we'll get something.

Jack: I don't think it's about getting something. I think it's about. Because why they're not getting anything. You use the fear to get to this side to then get adrenochrome. They're not doing anything. They're not getting to the side to hurt People, they're just kind of chilling there. The kids are just chilling there. Yeah, the horseman's just chilling there.

Cristina: And the trucker guy.

Jack: The trucker guy's with people.

Cristina: He's.

Jack: He's looking for something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I think that guy was from this side. It's a truck. Yeah, that guy was from this side. And he just doesn't want to lose it. And he's like, I'd rather they lose it than me. But the kids don't have that. They just. Kids and they wave and, you know, hey, cool, whatever.

Cristina: And the horse, man.

Jack: The horseman is the same. He's just, you know, they're cool people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it's weird, but there are peaceful ghosts here. I'm not even ghosts. They're just gin, man.

Cristina: But he's from that specific area. He's not from somewhere else in New Jersey. He's from Clinton Road.

Jack: Literally, from Clinton Road. It looks like there is on the other side, some civilization.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's possible that that civilization is based on paradise, because that's where the jumbled mess began. On the flip side. On the flip side, there have been stories of people going on a straight line. There's nothing but Clinton Road as long as you don't turn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And somehow leaving how they came in. So it could just somehow turn on you.

Cristina: Clinton Road.

Jack: Clinton Road. People have gone in a straight line 10 miles before you exit back to lights. People have gone in one line.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And found the exit through which they came in.

Cristina: That's right.

Jack: Without ever turning. So fear could be f****** with the surroundings.

Cristina: Okay. There is something just weird, naturally, about.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Clinton Road itself.

Jack: And so because we went to a place with mad turns, even if we didn't take a turn, we multiply the fact that you can go in a straight line and exit the same entrance by the fact that there's like 30 turns in paradise. And now we have a road that could be anywhere.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Very strange. Now, this next one is very literal because people describe it as this way, which is shadow people. Everything else they have not described as shadow people. This one, they literally use the word shadow people. Dark, human like figures seen darting between the trees, often in peripheral vision, which. Yes, that's just shadow people.

Cristina: That's great.

Jack: The thing is, this is the most reported sighting of something that seems to be responsive people. Look, they scatter away. I think there's a civilization. I think that that area has. And I think, based on what we're reading right now and what you said, that maybe the experiment isn't even in the future. Maybe it was on the other side.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it seems like there's a civilization on the other side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It could just be something that happened, you know, not even that long ago.

Cristina: It just happens over there.

Jack: Just happens over there. Could be. Doesn't have to be in the future. Could just be on the other side. It's folding everything together.

Cristina: Yes. And they just see shadow people.

Jack: Just shadow people casually running around, just living life. Okay. Pine Baron's Devil. Occasional sightings of a creature resembling the Jersey Devil in the denser parts of the forest. And that's very simply a creature from the shadow realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: But is it the same? They're saying it's like the other one. It's not the same as the Jersey Devil.

Jack: They're saying it's almost identical.

Cristina: It's almost identical.

Jack: It might be the same creature type and, like, be in a different area.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: No, that's the least weird thing here. I think it's just a creature. It's like seeing a wetchange or some s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, oh, my God, it's a demon. It's like. I mean, that's as close as raw. Nicka Run.

Cristina: It's just wild animal somewhere else.

Jack: Like a really wide. It's like if you see a wet shudge, that's like coming across a grizzly bear.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Get those f*** out. No. H*** no. Get the f*** out of there. That s***'ll flip your car, bro. Eyes in the darkness. This is definitely, most likely gin. Again, the glowing eyes. These are just probably. We're seeing light glares on Jinn and we just so happen to be seeing the Djinn simultaneously. My idea is described as glowing eyes watching from the woods at night.

Cristina: That's pretty creepy. But yeah. Yeah.

Jack: If it's just being observed and you're seeing through the thin veil and they're looking at you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Unseen forces which are. Again, feeling like one is being pushed or pulled. And that's. That could just easily be things coming through, walking by. And like in parts where the veil is thin but still not perfectly gone so that you can like, oh, wow, something just pushed me to the side. Oh, my God. There's something out here messing. And they're just walking by, but they don't see you. You don't see them, and you just touch and you're like, what the was that?

Cristina: I think that's. That's a good thing.

Jack: And it's actually one of the most described things happening. And it always happens on the main road. Anybody Gets out of their vehicle for any reason, they're usually like, what the.

Cristina: You didn't go out on the main road?

Jack: Yes, I didn't feel as though.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: We got out of the car. I got out of the car to look at the deer. I got out of the car to see why the car wasn't turning on. And I got out of the weeds. I just don't give a. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. It is what it is.

Cristina: But you didn't see any eyes, though.

Jack: I didn't see any eyes. I saw the deer, the black guy in the KKK outfit. I saw the. I heard the children separate to the laughter. That wasn't necessarily children.

Cristina: Yeah, but you didn't see whatever.

Jack: No, I didn't see eyes, didn't see shadows or any of that stuff.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But the weird moving roads and changing turns, that's pretty strange. And the fact that all of us saw that is weird. Minus Nunez, because from Nunez point of view, it was. We were just sitting and he just saw all of us go catatonic for a moment, which is. His story is worse than all of our stories. Yes, we all experience being somewhere, but now we have to unpack this because he says we pull over and we never get. We. He never saw the dirt road. He never saw paradise. We pull over, the car doesn't turn on. And from his point of view, all of us just sat there and thought really hard about what to do for a while. From our point of view, while that was happening, how the f*** do we get out of this mess we're in? Meanwhile, he's the only quiet one with us. We're just thinking, you know, nuna doesn't fear things. He's a special kind of person. He doesn't feel fear the way we do. So, you know, he's just quiet, watching us scramble.

Cristina: I don't know. That changes everything.

Jack: That changes everything because this falls into what you were saying about the judge. Did the judges go unconscious somewhere and his. Some other thing was in the shadow realm? Yes, because he says, we were just frozen in place, thinking. We say, bro, we were lost for like 30 minutes, homie. What do you mean you saw nothing? The three of us versus the one of you, bro, this is a different argument you're having.

Cristina: But is he right?

Jack: But is he right?

Cristina: I don't know. That's. That's really good. I don't know. That's so strange. That's just so out there. I don't know.

Jack: It's f****** Weird, bro. It's really strange. I don't know what to. There's a lot of complications here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Here is something that I believe is the veil thinning, which is melting trees that appear to melt or distort adding to the surreal landscape. I think this is just sort of the warped nature of the shadow realm being seen on this side. I think that's just areas where the notch is way turned up and we're just seeing what that side looks like.

Cristina: That's pretty cool.

Jack: My note for that was just likely trees in the shadow realm different than the wandering shadows in the forest. There are eerie shadows that move independent of sound, independent of structure, and independent of physical motion. This is strange because what they mean by independent of normal physical motion is they can go vertically and horizontally but in a walking human fashion.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like they'll just be walking and sort of like walking up into the sky suddenly.

Cristina: Because they're probably going up a building or something.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: We just can't see it.

Jack: We don't see the building. We see the shadow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because they're the living thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we don't see the structure.

Cristina: Kind of makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: Wow.

Cristina: It's weird. It would be weird to see, but it might make sense over there.

Jack: Yes. Informed enough. It's not disturbing to us because it seems like. Yeah, there's probably a structure there that we can't interact with. And it's just going up some stairs or something.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not that crazy. Okay.

Jack: Which then goes and supports again that there's buildings here.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which supports that there's a civilization in around Clinton Road. Shifting paths. Which is the problem we faced.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that is the literal story I was getting to about people going in a straight line and then exiting directly where they came straight through. That's shifting paths.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Us entering Paradise Road. Paradise Road disappearing behind us. And us just being in Paradise Town and not finding the road horrifying. Until it's suddenly just, hey, it's somewhere else apparently. Let's exit. And somehow it still took us to Clinton Road back. It's like this was. We didn't take any turns. We took a turn to get here now. And it still took us to the same place. What the f***?

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. Yeah.

Jack: Mysterious footprints.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: Footprints that just begin and stop in the middle of a trail without a beginning point or an ending point. I think this just falls into more shadow realm stuff.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Maybe this is a spot where the notch is particularly turned up and we can start to see them literally affecting our physical space. And then they get. Get far from whatever's causing that anomaly. And then we no longer see the footprints. They kept walking on their side, didn't just disappear on their end, but the veil is thinner, is more tight elsewhere. And it's thinner in this spot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So that's my theory for that.

Cristina: I think so. It's not that crazy.

Jack: I think this next one falls a lot with the kids, which is ghostly campers which seem to be around the road. These people just hanging around the road, camping. You oftentimes even see tents. Apparitions in campers setting up tents around fires near the road. But they don't look human.

Cristina: They don't look human.

Jack: They look like shadows. Even with light present weird. And proximity. When somebody goes to see these campers, they aren't there anymore. Even with the fire burning. You get closer and the fire itself starts to dim, dim, dim until there's nothing camping. I think they're camping by the sea. I think they're being just as much as we're on this side. Oh, Clinton Road. This attraction, Horseman's Traveling. The kids are chilling there because it's entertaining and fun. People are camping by this road.

Cristina: Yes. I wonder if they see ghosts like we see echoes. Like, it's still an interesting spot to hunt for echoes or find echoes to them.

Jack: Maybe they're finding the same thing. Yeah. Distortions from their path.

Cristina: Yeah. Like they think that's as cool as we find it cool. And that's why we go there.

Jack: 100. It could totally 1000% be based on these comparisons. There are people just chilling here, trying to see the same things we're doing.

Cristina: Yeah. So, yeah. It's probably even weirder. Whatever they're seeing is probably even weirder than what we're saying.

Jack: I mean, maybe not for them. Maybe like, you know, we hear about ghosts and, oh, my God, this place is haunted. And we see an old guy pushing a wheelbarrow and it's like, all right, well, they see a wet shud, John. A loop. And it's like, to us, I would look nuts. But to them it's just like, oh, yeah, the echo of the wolf. You know, the wolf died.

Cristina: Entertaining enough for them to want to hang out in that spot, though.

Jack: Yeah. They're trying to get themselves scared.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like, oh, wow. Cool.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: It feels. It really, really just feels like they're people, bro. Like they're really gin. Even in text. Seem to just be people.

Cristina: I think so over there. Yes.

Jack: They're not bad people. There are bad people. There are some who are bad, but we got humans who are bad.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know? Yes. There's a dude in a truck also. I would argue that guy's just a human on that side.

Cristina: Possibly.

Jack: Yeah. The truck part kind of makes that argument pretty strong.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so.

Jack: Yeah, exactly like the truck. They're not building trucks over there, bro. Come on. And then the final note on this is the floating lanterns, which again supports this again of. They're usually by the road in the woods.

Cristina: They're just hanging out.

Jack: Just hanging out, bro. They're chilling, they're seeing, they're doing what we're doing. Except they don't have cars. That's it. They're just doing what we're doing.

Cristina: Yeah, that's just them hanging out, I think. Yeah. There's weird stuff happening over there. Like over here. Yes. And so it's an attraction to them too.

Jack: Now, a random point to toss in about my personal experience with, with the guy in the robe. I thought he had a machete, not a shotgun. And what we saw was a deer open. If that deer was horrified enough. And this guy knew what he was doing. He was trying to get to the other side, wasn't he? He was by himself trying to get.

Cristina: To the other side and he just killed some s***.

Jack: And he opened it. He wasn't covered in blood. It was just opened. Yeah, this guy probably took some organs out, Ambros. Just spitballing. I don't know. But you're in the right place.

Cristina: You're in the right place for sure.

Jack: You're in the right place. If ever there was a maybe you're just trying to communicate. We know that the Vikings did that. They consumed a crap ton until they started hearing voices. And then those voices started guiding them and they turned it into a place that they could just casually walk there and interact with, quote the gods, unquote. Yes, the gods knew where to go and they knew where to go to just effortlessly interact with one another. Which, by the way, in theory, we could still do that today. We would just require killing a s*** ton of people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But in theory, we could have a perfect, in sync, one to one communication with the other side. And I think we don't need to make it. I think maybe that exists somewhere in Clinton Road already and that somebody might know it. You know where I think it is, and I think we all think it's in the same f****** place. It's in the castle.

Cristina: Okay. Are we gonna get to the Castle.

Jack: We're gonna get to that castle.

Cristina: Okay, cool.

Jack: Yeah. The next part is about three times as long as these two parts and is the one I called significant. These are the things that are obviously something to look at. Everything else we talked about in this episode and last episode. Interesting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And for last episode. Yeah, for last episode was definitely the most important because we got things to look at. For this side, there's less to look at, although there's still some things to look at. Mainly not things here. But what this made us think of. Yes, next time, I believe 100% of that we have to look at, but we'll get to that. Anyways, as usual, if you guys have any input, any additional information or anything you could think about, feel free to contact us about it.

Cristina: Tell us.

Jack: You can tell us on our socials. That's on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, on X, anywhere. Anywhere, Anywhere. At just Convopod. Yeah, we got kicked out of YouTube and Reddit. Just Convopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth is the most overpowered thing in the world. If you find what we are talking about interesting and you want to show somebody else what this is, feel free to do so because we will appreciate it.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal. Thanks for listening. Bye.

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is a show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And so we, we always bring in the most baffling of baffling ideas. And as we've through the weeks, through the months, maybe a year at this point, who knows, our whole lifetime, I don't know, we've been deep diving and checking into an entire giant, massive, ridiculous conspiracy created by. Well, if you trace back through the Catholic church, it leads you to the Elysians, who are essentially the sea people that the Greek and Egyptians and the Mayans spoke of. And then that unravels this giant massive hyper advanced technology of ancient civilizations. Cover up conspiracy involving interesting rituals and a lot of scientific advancement that we consider almost magic from how advanced it is going backwards in time, very, very back. Which in, in theory suggests that we live in a place that's kind of like horizon zero dawn, where we think, oh yeah, they were, the ancients worshiped and they had magic and this and that. No, they were scientists. They were all scientists. Everybody had scientists and they were running experiments and they were doing interesting things and it was so advanced. They were riff breaking rifts to different dimensions and s***. Oh, realms. Because dimensions all exist simultaneously and we all exist amongst all the dimensions within one plane. But they would cross over to other realms, three of which seem to be. I don't know if there's more in either direction, but as far as the scope of our understanding is, as of now, the furthest up we can go is one. And we are the bottom of them with one in between.

Cristina: Where the bottom.

Jack: Yeah, was the last one made.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Sequentially. Althea, Shadow, Earth and like. Okay, yeah. So great giant deep dive and we did some kind of old school forms of these episodes where we would focus on a specific thing, but then that kept opening and expanding more and more and more until everything kind of merged into each other. And for a long time we had that. So we've been trying to come back to and focus on very specific things that kind of enlighten other parts. As we hit walls, we've gone so deep, we start to hit walls and don't know where to go. But we do have the ability to focus on specific things. So we focus on the different scientific groups, we focus on different time periods and what certain people were doing in those times. In the past, we've done creatures, and it all reveals a lot, tells us a lot. And I thought in the spirit of the holidays, because we're coming up on Halloween in a couple of days.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: That we can go and look at what these things really were before we attached our mythos to it.

Cristina: What things?

Jack: Well, Halloween and what these things really were, because everything related to everything else.

Cristina: That we've been talking about that you just talked about.

Jack: It's all related.

Cristina: It's all related.

Jack: It's all related.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: You can be blown away when I tell you how this is all connected, because when, you know, as we've. As we've. I guess my point is, as we've looked more into these things, we've learned how to find it more and more.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And because of knowing how to find it more and more, we know where to look to find it more and more. All right, so I look in one direction. I'm like, huh? Because I didn't have the information before. I didn't see these things.

Cristina: Halloween somehow relates to many parts of it.

Jack: Many parts of it. So, yeah, by looking at it, I've come to like, oh, s***, you know, we didn't have the information before. I look at it now, and I'm like, oh, I couldn't see this before, but now I see the connection between these two things. Let me focus on that thing. Go in. Oh, look what I find.

Cristina: Awesome.

Jack: Then go over there. Look at that. That connection looks interesting. Deep dive. That specific thing that we would neglect most of the time. And slowly but surely, it connected to things that we have already talked about from the past. It connected with things that we have recently addressed. It connects with too much. So let's. Let's deep dive into Halloween. Okay, so important things about Halloween. What do we know about Halloween so far? Go ahead and tell me what Halloween is as far as the masses know.

Cristina: What, like trick or treating for candy? Going to your neighbors for candy. The simplest version of Halloween. There's no actually trick to it. You say trick or treat, but it's just kids going to their neighbors begging for candy.

Jack: That's all of it.

Cristina: I feel like it's the main focus. Oh, and they're dressed up in costumes. That also counts. I don't know if there's any theme to it. It's just whatever you want to be. Spooky or not spooky. You can dress up as a princess if you wanted. Like, there's no real spookiness to it, I guess. Once upon a time. Yes. But if we're talking about today. Halloween, yeah, that's pretty much it. And I don't know what adults do. I guess they give out candy. They buy a bunch of candy. They decorate their house in spooky ways or whatever. You know, ghost pumpkins, zombies sometimes. And give out candy with spooky music playing in their. If they are really into it.

Jack: Interesting. Okay, what other things can you tell me about what things exist around Halloween time? What happens in Halloween? What other other things?

Cristina: Like Halloween parties. I don't know if that counts.

Jack: Okay, yeah, cool. Halloween parties. What else?

Cristina: What else is happening? I know someone's going to a Halloween costume party, but that's still related to, like, costumes. Costumes is a big thing.

Jack: Costume is a big thing. Other than costumes, what is Halloween related.

Cristina: In Halloween, besides costumes and candy?

Jack: Besides costumes and candy, what else happens?

Cristina: I don't know. I feel like that's main things. What am I missing? What's the big other big thing?

Jack: Really? You can't think of the other really obvious big things that happen in Halloween.

Cristina: Parents warning their children about people who are after them. I don't know. They're gonna poison their cats.

Jack: Yeah, okay. Okay. Keep going.

Cristina: That's what. And I guess there's always, like, kids who are gonna ruin it for everyone by, like, doing the trick part of trick or treating.

Jack: Like egging a house.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or toilet paper.

Cristina: I don't know if that actually ever.

Jack: Happens, but movies at least try to convince us it does.

Cristina: Yeah. So maybe it happens.

Jack: I mean, some douchey teenagers probably do.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What else?

Cristina: I guess if you're, like, into the spiritual thing of Halloween, you might be trying to connect to ghosts on that day.

Jack: Yes. Okay, so far, so good. Okay, but you're missing the one thing I'm talk. I'm thinking about, but good, because I totally forgot about that entirely.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: People do use that night as a way to perform certain rituals. Yeah, but decorations.

Cristina: I did mention decorations.

Jack: You mentioned costumes and decorating your house. Okay, I didn't catch that.

Cristina: Adults decorating their houses to give out to.

Jack: What's the most prominent of decorations besides.

Cristina: Like, pumpkins and ghosts?

Jack: Pumpkins. You whispered it or something. I didn't catch any of that. You're talking into a mic, and I still didn't hear it.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So, yeah, definitely mentioned all that. Ghosts.

Cristina: Yeah, I said pumpkin ghosts. And sometimes zombies. And sometimes they play music while creepy music while giving out the candy.

Jack: Ooh, define creepy music.

Cristina: Sometimes I don't really know what is considered creepy. Like, I guess Booing. Or maybe that song from one of those horror movies. Like, what is the one that's famous? No, not that. That's probably a party Halloween. Yeah, but the one that. I think it's Michael Myers or Jason. One of them has something playing while they're walking.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Okay. Ok. Okay, Fair. Okay. Yeah. So all of These things are 100% associated with Halloween. There's definitely the kids in the costumes, there's definitely the candy giving, there's the rituals, the pumpkins, decorations, the tricks. There's the warnings of evil happening, people trying to connect to the spirits. And actually every bit of all of this connects in one way or another to something that isn't just some tradition, but is part of the sciences we've discussed recently. So the processes as we know them go as follow. The ancients used science somewhere in between us and the ancients that became a mythos and series of traditions because the technology was lost. So it just became things that people would enact even if they didn't know the real reason why. They built a mythology around that and said, oh, this is why. And that's. And blah, blah, blah. And then there's now where we're turning over stones to try to figure it out. And a lot of the time it's just become a meme of itself, you know? Okay, so we're gonna go backwards, following that same train of thought the opposite direction. We're gonna look at the meme version of itself. We're gonna see where that culturally came from, and then what that really meant for the ancients. Although it's gonna be really obvious as we start to unravel it, as soon as we get to the tradition of it, that you're gonna be like, oh, s***, I know what it was. Okay, so there are many variations specifically of Christianity, but amongst other religions that always choose October 31st, from the morning of October 31st until the very start of November 1st as the most optimal day to pay respect to purgatory. That is the dates route. They pay respect to purgatory along that time. Now, if we've established in the past, the purgatory is one obvious place.

Cristina: The Shadowrun.

Jack: The Shadowrun, okay. H*** and purgatory seem to be divided in Christianity, but are ultimately the same place when you break down the roots and what goes on in them. Purgatory, one place. And these days are said to be the day for that for a couple of reasons. But in these days, we call it Halloween. Halloween backtracks to a ritual celebration called Hallows Eve. Which is when again we would pay respects to purgatory. Purgatory has something very interesting and very specific. It's intended to bring to mind and think of those in purgatory. When I found the original text, the current day text, you know, it's to pay respect to the dead. But you go back a couple of generations before a bunch of these corrections happen and you end up where the text drops. The dead says to pay respect to those in purgatory. That's immediately interesting because that means that, or at least it focuses on. It doesn't focus. It's the lack of focus. It's not about the dead, it's about people in purgatory. Maybe it's still about the dead. Maybe they believe only that that could go there. But when that distinction was made, I'm like, okay, this is interesting. Alright, let me go farther back. Finding the same line over and over from older texts. From older texts. And it does.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It becomes, and this is what's fascinating, they re add the word dead. It's very important that they do though, because they are there to remember the dead and the spirits of purgatory. That distinction powerful. Because that's just.

Cristina: What does that mean? What's the difference of the dead and the spirits?

Jack: Of the spirits in purgatory? Yeah, what are creatures from the shadow realm on our side?

Cristina: Oh, so you think they're worse. They're like worshiping the dead. The spirits, the creatures doesn't say anything about worship. Oh, they're.

Jack: They're remembering the dead and paying respect to the creatures.

Cristina: Spirits of purgatory, but paying their respects to those creatures.

Jack: Paying respect to those creatures. Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: A couple of things I did find were that there is, and this will be addressed later as I'm going through this. There are good spirits in purgatory different from the dead. And there are bad spirits in purgatory separate from the dead. And they want to pay respect to all of them for their own safety because they believe one, this night, which again, we'll get to this as we go through it is the most likely that these things will come through. And two, because of that, you can most easily communicate that back. So we mean you no harm. We respect you. Please don't cause us harm now or throughout the year.

Cristina: Yeah, but the more scared you are, the more you attract. So that's crazy.

Jack: It creates a feedback loop. It's the day that they can most come through, so you have most fear. So they're more likely to come through because you're scared. That they're going to come through.

Cristina: Exactly. What?

Jack: Interesting, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Nice little feedback loop happening now. There was a. These days, this doesn't exist anymore unless you're particularly religious. And people usually go to mass to achieve this. But. But there was a bell. Two types of bells. One attached to the church that would be rung on All Hallows Eve, and one that would be carried by something called a crier. A crier in the. From somewhere between, like, the 1500s to about the 1800s was the public square announcer day.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And this individual was just, you know, he would make announcements, he would tell people the news and whatever. But also the same individual on these days would dress in very dark clothing, and he would wave around his. He would have a little bell that he's ringing as he's walking around town. And the crier would tell people who, you know, people consider themselves good Christians dressed in black and wandering the streets while ringing the bell. He would tell the good Christians to remember the dead and pay homage and respect to the spirits of shadow. So people would be consistently reminded. And with this bell, this bell is particular because it's a special bell. It is a blessed bell. It is a bell that allows the spirits and the dead in purgatory to hear the bell.

Cristina: Okay, what.

Jack: This is an interesting piece of technology I had no idea about. So the bell became very interesting because you have a tool that you're telling me could, in theory, create a sound from this side that could reach the other side. What is this? It's just a bell by any definition. You bless it. Okay. What the h*** does that mean? And it not being organic means you can't just pour some adrenochrome on it. It could be like, that's not how it works, you know. So what is it exactly? And apparently the structure of a bell in general, it's not about this specific bell, but it's the circumstance in which you're ringing the bell. It creates this harmony that we're very used to from bells, but smaller.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But it's a thicker, more daunting bell. So you have. As he's wandering with this kind of heavy thing you got. And the importance of this is that apparently the frequencies are similar to a lot of the things used. You know, when you go into a meditative state. And you can sort of use the same sounds to cross dimensions. Well, you can use these same sounds to cross realms, because what it's doing is essentially piercing the fabric that ties things together. You're using a resonance that's equal to that of atomic structure.

Cristina: So you think the sound is actually reaching the.

Jack: I think it's designed in such a way that, yes, it's actually highly advanced technology made simple. The bell has to be a certain structure the way they used to make it. Right now they'll ring any bell, which is why nothing happens. But the way the bell used to be done, dating way, way back. And some of the relics still alive to this day are from like the year 600. Some of them are from like the year 150. They're really, really dense and thick, made of really solid metal, and would hold a note for a very long time. So it was intentionally designed in such a way. Essentially the same kind of thing that you would get from a Tibetan bowl that's piercing dimensional riffs through sound alone. And so these were designed with that. And they were very strict about the bell. The bell was. You can't use any bell. It's not just a bell. You're not just ringing a casual bell to make noise. You're ringing a bell designed to cross realms.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There's a piece of technology that today is casually around, but we don't have that very common old version of making it.

Cristina: So you don't have that anymore?

Jack: We don't have that. Yeah. We don't have the ability to just pierce. But in doing so, people who would be paying respect, people who would be talking about the dead, talking about these spirits, would be doing so around the crier. And priests would do the same thing inside of the churches.

Cristina: They'd also have their own bell.

Jack: They'd also have their own bell. The church would have a bell and the bell would be ringing during. And that one is more powerful. So it does two effects that are very useful. It allows the spirits and the dead on the other side to hear the bell, and it allows them to hear the people around the bell paying their respects.

Cristina: This is very confusing cuz, like why.

Jack: You'Re sending a message, but why do we want.

Cristina: Or why does the church want to attract the spirits?

Jack: You're trying to pay them respect. You're trying to calm them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, you're trying to tell those that you've lost, they have made it to the other side. Which, by the way, that means they were very aware that people were somehow still acquiring things and making it to the other side. But.

Cristina: But that's not all that's happening. The spirits just would come into the. Like they're making gates that we can't see or portals or whatever you want to call it.

Jack: Well, we already know that churches are to some degree designed for that.

Cristina: Yes. I still am confused on whose side are they on? Because sometimes it feels like this is very Jesus for help. Like to help Jesus with whatever his plan is, but I can't tell.

Jack: Well, no, I think that if we look at the structure of this and we look at the fact that we've lost the existence of the Elysians, of the ancient Mayans, of the ancient Egyptians, of the ancient Greek, they've all kind of vanished into their own thing privately, the knowledge of those who were at least familiar still new. We know that the Jews made the Golem. We know that there's people trying to replicate these things. And although the church was designed intentionally to suppress the existence of Jesus as he was originally just a sea person and Elysian and the rest of the Elysians and the Egyptians and the Mayans and all this stuff, this doesn't stop the fact that there are good people who are from shadow, and there are good people who have gone to shadow. And I think this is a place where you can control the passage because you're not. They're not sneaking through.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's a controlled environment, which means those you need to come through can come through and those you don't. How many stories do we have of a monster showing up and attacking a church? Well, none. But why? What's a controlled environment? They're making sure this doesn't happen. Yeah, but people do what at a church? Oh, they'll go talk to their past family member, and they'll go pray to their past family member. Or they'll go communicate with some of the spirits that are on their side from shadow.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So it seems like a controlled environment where they've figured out how to use the good aspects of shadow without allowing the bad aspects of shadow. But don't get me wrong, we're gonna get to how the bad aspects of shadow come through.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But it doesn't seem to be church now. It does seem that church figured out how to communicate most effectively and control the situation and have normal, everyday people be able to just communicate with these other individuals. And so this bell is part of that. It's creating a frequency that can cross, allow the words that are spoken around it to then move through with it. And that's fascinating. It's a telephone.

Cristina: Yeah. Crazy.

Jack: Yeah. It's a telephone from Earth to shadow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And there are many, and only on.

Cristina: This night or night.

Jack: There are nights, and there are times, like a lot of these ancient churches just had the Bell mounted, and they would ring it at 12 o' clock every day.

Cristina: You know, you think that was to do the same thing?

Jack: I think it's the warning of mass and people come together to do the same thing. It's just on this one night, you ring this bell prolonged, and it's the most powerful night. So people come together with the exclusive purpose of communicating.

Cristina: Mm. But they're doing it every day.

Jack: But they're doing it every. Not every day, but they would have, like. I mean, I guess some places would do it every day. There was locations that had church open every day. It would be mass every day. But it's not, like, about reaching the dead. Although I would give you this. People who have found a way across, whether it be adrenochrome, whether it be the fruit, whether it be the flower, tea, or whatever the case is, however they got across people who found a way to cross into alfame after they've died, out into alfame, into shadow after they've died, might still be religious themselves. And then the bell gets rung and the priests giving his mass that allows these people in shadow to still attend mass even though they are in shadow. They can hear and they can see the sermon. They can still be there for their church.

Cristina: Interesting. Yeah, that's cool.

Jack: So the bell alone is a really powerful tool that we've never considered, and it really is just a telephone across two realms, allowing people to communicate back and forth. That's pretty dope. That's just a single part of this.

Cristina: Entire thing, of our traditions and everything.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Next comes the Jack O Lantern. The Jack O Lantern is quite interesting because this instantly got weird. You don't even have to go too far, really. Yeah. Right now we don't know. Oh, we carve pumpkins.

Cristina: Yeah. I see everyone carving pumpkins. Okay, what is it about?

Jack: Yeah, we part carved pumpkins and put lights in them. Oh, how cool. But where does this come from? Okay, this immediately breaks down and it's like, holy s***. So Jack O lanterns were believed to entertain fairies, and as a result were used to ward off evil spirits from purgatory.

Cristina: The fairies were protecting us from the.

Jack: Evil because they were entertained by the creatures.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But yeah, that brings up an interesting thing. It tells us that the more dangerous creatures of shadow still feel fear. Fairies. Some scaling.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that's important, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So they're in even the most animalistic ones, wet judges, swindingos, things like that that are more like animal. They still have instinct enough to avoid fairies. So although they could Use Halloween Hallows Eve, this ritual to come through. There's the bells. There's a. These lanterns would be put everywhere. And so the faces were designed to entertain the fairies because the fairies would come and hang around them. The fairies aren't actively protecting anybody. They're just going where they find amusing.

Cristina: Yeah, they.

Jack: The creatures from Shadow were like, no, f*** that. There's a fairy there. And so these were put in people's houses, on people's porches, and people's houses in graveyards. These are put at churches. They're put everywhere, really. So you have the phone connecting, and you bring in those that are going to keep you safe simultaneously. So you make a clean link between earth and shadow, and you make sure Elfame inhabitants are chilling in the area, just in case.

Cristina: Okay, that makes sense.

Jack: An entire ritual that already brings all three together.

Cristina: Mm. Get fairies to protect you from the bad ones. Whoa.

Jack: Interesting, right? Normal people figuring out these more complicated things, which would then suggest. How would you, as an individual, from. Let's say you're a creature in shadow. You're a really powerful creature in shadow, and you want to do something, and you happen to have the one and only shadow philosopher so we've heard of, but you need to attract fairies to off them. Well, now you have a way to just get some innocent fairies who are looking to have some fun. You do a thing like this, they're attracted to it. They come through. Got them.

Cristina: Okay. Whoa.

Jack: So we know that although he probably didn't use pumpkins himself, Yaldabaoth most likely found a way to attract fairies in the first place, because why are there fairies just hanging out in shadow that you can just kill and make fairy trees?

Cristina: I don't know. That's a big question. I don't know.

Jack: You must have been luring them in somehow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And now we know that there's ways to lure them in. This is an example.

Cristina: Do you have more examples?

Jack: No. This is an example. Well, we're talking about Halloween, but there's probably more examples, and we'll find them in due time. But, yeah, the point is there are examples. And that's useful because that puts into perspective the fact that we could lure them. We could attract them. There are ways. There's more gullible, kinder ones that could be tricked. Or maybe they can't. Maybe they won't do the same thing for Shadow. Maybe they're intelligent enough to be like, we're not falling for this. But why would they think something's gonna happen anyways? Why don't they think when they show up over here, one of us has figured out how to do the same thing? Right.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. Like, it probably can happen. We've probably trapped fairies. If we looked into those stories. Now that. That's.

Jack: Now that we know.

Cristina: Now that we know, there's probably stories of humans trapping fairies.

Jack: Fascinating. Okay. It's pretty interesting about Jack O' Lanterns, right?

Cristina: Mm. We gotta find out more. Yes. That's awesome. So we got Jack O Lanterns. We got ghost. What about candy?

Jack: Well, hold on. We're not done with the Jack O Lanterns.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay.

Jack: Not only would these ward off the bad spirits from Purgatory, but also because of the. This is interesting and brings up a lot. Because of the fairies hanging out around them. The fairies. Now, this actually brings up something interesting that it's confusing to me. The fairies would be, to some degree, visible within shadow, which is why the creatures from Shadow Realm would avoid them. So I'm assuming because bells are being rung and the lights are happening, it's not just audio. It's not just an audio thing, but you can, to some degree, a big enough bell, you're in church, you start seeing things from shadow, and things in shadow start seeing things from Earth. Like, it's a fuzzing of the barrier. So the creatures in shadow can see the fairy and they can see the lantern. That's why they're avoiding it. But this also means that a lot of people were placing these so that the souls of the dead who went to purgatory can find their way to the homes of their families. So it's an easy way for those same people to come specifically where they're going. Because, again, very early, when we were first investigating the Shadow Realm, we know what the shadow realm is. Almost identical, but like a warped version of Earth. So navigating it is not simple.

Cristina: Mm. Because it's not identical.

Jack: It's not identical. It's similar in a confusing way. So these Jack O' Lanterns actually help you. And these people from Purgatory would go from one to the other looking for their families. And the weirdest part is people would report, and there are many of being visited by their family who crossed over.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This means a lot of people. And I think a lot of these people have to be Catholic specifically, because Catholicism aims to giving people the access to the shadow realm. You're not gonna die.

Cristina: What about with Ouija boards? Do you know when they became popular and they were starting to use that to connect to the dead?

Jack: I Don't know. Had nothing to do with Halloween. I've not come across that while doing this research.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But definitely, perhaps it's something.

Cristina: I think they probably came up with more than one way to connect to the dead. Besides that, I'm sure there was other things too, like candles and crystal balls. And, you know, they use things. They use things to connect to the dead. It seems like it's not just random things that they have to look spooky. I feel like they use those things to connect.

Jack: Yeah, 100%. It looks like there is a lot of things that. A lot of different methods essentially using the same things. Because you. You say, for example, a candle, but a candle is also what a jack o' lantern is. Like there's similar applications happening between things. So in theory, yes. But then now that you mentioned something like a Ouija board, it makes me think of those seances where you have, like, a pentagram and you're trying to summon a creature. Specifically. Is this a lore.

Cristina: Yes. Right. So they're using objects, but they're also themselves sometimes.

Jack: And very interesting enough now that you mentioned this, there are lures that require you to do what? Add some blood to the mix.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Some candles, some blood.

Cristina: There's a lot of different ways of doing it, but I'm guessing all of this happened sometime after. Like, the original way that you're talking about was first.

Jack: I don't know if this was first.

Cristina: All of this stuff was added onto it.

Jack: Because it looks like by the time we get to an organized church and an entire town putting up jack O lanterns and things like this.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They figured it out, and it's organized. So there must have been smaller private versions of this.

Cristina: Oh. Trying, testing.

Jack: Trying and testing different ways to achieve the same thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Technologies that bridge through the realms.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And it looks like this is absolutely too organized to fall under. Like, this was the first.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We mean, these churches have bells, and people come together, and people believe that they're seeing spirits of the dead show up in the church. People believe that spirits of the dead are showing up at their house. Family members and wanderers looking for their families. Like this very Already figured out at this point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The fact that they have the jack o lanterns designed in such a way to amuse fairies so that fairies come and hang out and protect them from the bad spirits, but allow the good spirits through and allow the dead through. Interesting. So it seems well thought out by this point. Now, these were also added to graveyards, which is going to lean into a Couple of things. But they were put in graveyards because. And usually either on the tombstone or over the grave burial site. Yeah, Jack O Lanterns. Because although they were expecting people to come to their homes and to the churches, many people died and didn't have family and whatnot. And, like, where would they go? So these spirits and these. The good spirits and the dead would. Who had nowhere to go and nobody calling to them and no family. They would go to the graveyard and spend time with each other and other people from the. It's like coming to visit. And this is essentially a ghost party, okay? Happening in a graveyard where you got the dead who've crossed into purgatory, into the shadow realm, and you've got the good spirits of the shadow realm who are just, oh, let's go mingle on earthrealm. It's that time of year where they make it really easy for us to get there, okay? And so they would essentially have parties. And the gravekeepers would usually be the human who. Because gravekeepers a lot of times were also people themselves who had no family, who had no friends or anything. They would just spend all their time.

Cristina: Maintaining the graveyard, making it safe for these guys.

Jack: They were making it safe for these people. And so they would essentially be the host of the party. They're the. They're the main attraction. And then a bunch of spirits of the dead. Ghosts of the dead. I guess all these terms are wrong because they're technically not even dead. They're just in the shadow room at this point. But they've died, which means they are no longer on this side. But people who have crossed over to the shadow realm and the good spirits of the shadow realm will come and chill, and they would be entertained by and entertained the gravekeepers in the graveyards. And this is where the fear of the grave, of the dead coming to life comes from originally. Because if you remember, you go back far enough through time to before any of this crap existed. Graveyards were parks to chill at. People used to hang out at graveyards. It was just part of what it is. But this fear over time happened. And it's because of the warping of this, because, again, it was always a safe place. Even during Halloween. People who had nobody would join the gravekeeper there.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: People who had no friends or family lived their own. The hermits.

Cristina: I don't see how this became a scary event.

Jack: It became a scary event because of these outcasts going and hanging with the dead. So as we feed, as we began to develop fear of the dead, we began to fear these people who gathered with them. And then that in collectively, only in modern times did it taboo the graveyard into being a haunted, evil place. But it's not. It's a peaceful place. In most places, it's a peaceful place where the people who are just alone in the world come and join the spirits and the passed on who were alone in the world, and they come and spend time together. That sounds way dope and beautiful. Yeah, they're just coming to have a party with each other. A lot of these people don't know each other. The gravekeeper doesn't know the outcast from the town, the self made outcast, or the hermit. Or these people who live in isolation just by choice. And on Halloween, on Hallows Eve, they would come visit. Hey, you know, I'm here for the thing. And then, you know, big cool party, people talking to each other, the people from shadow, having conversations, telling stories from both sides. So in return, what happens is that these same people become the occultists we know of now. Those who know everything about the other world, but because they're the ones talking to the dead, not about this side, but about that side.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's the gravekeepers and it's the outcasts, while family members on this side who have family members on that side do the same thing. They put the lantern, they have the bells, they do all these things, they go to the church, those spirits come through to talk with them about now, about here. How's it been? What are things like since my leaving? You go to a graveyard, I got nothing to tell.

Cristina: So you're learning about the other side.

Jack: So you're learning about the other side. Those are the people who knew the most and probably to this day know the most about the other side.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Those are the sources you go to for information. And it's interesting because going back, a lot of the records that were designed talking about the Shadow Realm were actually written by a bunch of grave keepers. Didn't know this.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. Just checked out because I got this bit of information. So I went back to look at some things, typed in some names, and. Oh, they were the person who ran this site that happened to have a graveyard. It's like. Okay, okay, okay. Pattern, Pattern.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So the most informed people were Pete were gravekeepers and outcasts in general. So you want to know about costumes and candy? Yes. Well, candy is less serious. Candy comes from. That's the middle period. Yeah. So if we break it up into the three parts, there's a technology from the past that Is being used in the middle period and then the current day that was invented in the middle period, the candy, because it would make. Once they lost the fact that this was technology of the past and it just become normal rituals you perform, and people from the other side will cross through. They weren't necessarily aware that they couldn't consume food because they were assuming they were physical beings the same way. And so they would make little cakes to give them. But eventually this got worked out when they discovered, like, the food is always going to waste. And then it became about giving the crier, who was either a.

Cristina: The cakes were for experience.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Not for the shadow people, but from. For the family members who had passed to come back and eat their favorite things or whatever. But they would never be eaten. So they got repurposed and it started to be given to the criers and the priests who would roam the streets and in the churches. So people would make these cakes and they would give it. So the crier would walk around with the bell, creating the resonance of it. Things could happen. And weirdly enough, I forgot to say this around. Although people would have their own bells, sometimes in the lantern, sometimes the excitement was around the criers and the priests.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because it's mostly happening around them. They're walking around and around them, there's a bubble, a radius of these crying things coming in and out. And you seeing creatures from the other side showing up and people from the other side showing up around this individual. So you're also putting the lanterns to protect them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because they're making themselves a giant beacon. And so as they're walking, people get excited, oh, he's coming, he's coming. Well, before the treats, they would gather and like, okay, if our family member is going to come, it's going to come when he comes through because they're going to be around that individual, and then we'll get a glimpse, we'll get a moment, we'll get to see them again. In church is consistent. The bell's always there. So people who would go to church get to see him. People who didn't go to church still can. As the crier will wander through town, you'd have at least a moment to see somebody. And so you do the things. So if the crier sees a pumpkin, he knows to go there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And he'll walk from place to place, ringing it and allowing the spirits try to find their place. You're wandering with him, going from place to place, trying to find where they belong. The treats eventually became to they would either take it to church and give it to the priest who's creating the mass and trying to contain the situation, or give it to the crier. As he went from house to house, the crier would go. And also a lot of people would gather around the crier from this side as well, because maybe they haven't seen their person or maybe they're homeless and they're still waiting to see if that person of theirs get seen. Because as he's moving with the bell through the streets over here, he's also technically moving around in the shadow realm.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so people are like, well, they don't. My person has nowhere to go, so if I hang out around him, then they'll find him and I'll find them. We'll find each other. Some people wanted not just a visit, but they wanted long conversations with this person. So they would just hang out around the crier as he wandered the streets for all of Halloween, they would just wander with him. Hanging out with their ghost friends.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Hanging out with their past, Hanging out with spirits from the. From the shadow realm, having communications with them. It was just an interesting moment that happened once in a blue. Once a year, actually. But you get my point. And so the cakes were repurposed. Instead of leaving them for the past who would never consume them, they were given to first the. The crier and then hand it out. Like, if you made many, you would give them to everybody who showed up. Some people made it for everybody who showed up. All of them accompanying the crier and keeping him safe. Many people walking around with lanterns himself because he's walking around with the bell.

Cristina: They were like big goods.

Jack: They were big goods. Yeah. It was just a cake.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: And so a lot of people walked around with lanterns themselves to help the spirits come. So you have a man ringing a bell and a bunch of people with jack o lanterns walking around them, and you're seeing glimpses of creatures who look like ethereal shadows and figures anomalously fading in and out as you're wandering from place to place. Interesting visual. But you go to a door and people are, oh, he's here. They open. They give the person treats, and they give the people food and whatever when they, you know, did our person show up this time? And they'll, you know, those. They'll wait there a moment. Each town had their own. So you could take your time as a crier walking from one place to the other for one place to the other. And you would start at the. At the morning you Would begin not in the night. You would begin at morning.

Cristina: Oh, wow.

Jack: Yeah. And you would light everything in morning. And just this guy's doing this all day. That's why the treats got re repurposed for that individual.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So now they can maintain him as he goes from place to place. And he waits five minutes, maybe, in front of a place now. Okay, let's go to the next one. And everybody follows him with their lanterns, holding their lantern so that the spirits and the. And the people from. Who've passed can gather around. They can f. They can see the brightest patch, which is the crier.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then a bunch of smaller dimmer lights, which are the houses, so they know where to go. And then follow him to look at all the places. Oh, this is my family. And then what's happening in graveyard? It's very different than the visual we have now of people just dressed up in costumes, going to trick or treat. But one of the arguments is that the visual of these spirits going to houses with the crier that's dressed in all black and these people hanging out with the crier.

Cristina: That's why the costumes.

Jack: That's one of the root sources of dressing up, trying to imitate that visual.

Cristina: Were the people also dressed up? No.

Jack: No, the people weren't also dressed up. But we're gonna get to that very soon because that is gonna happen. So we have the visual established. Right. People are hanging out. People are chilling with this individual who's ringing the bell. So you've created a circumstance in which good spirits and the dead can return from the other side. So the visual this makes is because of the dead being able to return specifically because we know the spirits are the good ones. The fairies are making sure of that. But the dead are just people from this side. How do the fairies discern who is the good one and who's the bad one? So there are people who have done bad things that resulted in people dying, sometimes by accident, sometimes intentionally. And those people are coming back to the places where this happened, where they've lived their whole lives.

Cristina: So there's no way to protect themselves.

Jack: There's no way to protect themselves from the people coming.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And because of the look that becomes very ethereal to both sides. Everything kind of looks like a shot over there, and everything kind of looks like a shot over here.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Were fuzzy equivalents of one another. These individuals would dress up like the creatures that they saw on the other side so that the dead that came back wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Cristina: Okay. So they were dressing up to protect themselves.

Jack: To protect themselves from the people they have done bad to bad.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because now they're coming back and they could harm me.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: So that was. It was a way to protect yourself, to cover up so you couldn't be harmed.

Cristina: From actual people. Not actual people.

Jack: Yes, actual people. But people who've passed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And for this one night can most prominently be here and most prominently, see you.

Cristina: Mm. Okay.

Jack: So people would dress up, and it became in such a fashion that I haven't done anything bad. My homie has done bad things. I don't want bad to come to my homie. So I'm gonna dress up too to create a bigger confusion. Because obviously, if only my homie dresses up, all the vengeful people who come back are gonna know, oh, it's just a dressed up people. So if they can tell that it's a costume, they're just gonna focus on finding out who this is. Because I can find them. I know it's one of these. But if good and bad people alike are doing it because a bunch of good people have bad friends, but that bad friend has never done bad to them, so they're still friends. They're like, I'll help you out by also dressing up. And this confuses it. So one, there's too many of us to look through all of us. And two, well, a bunch of us are good people who've never done anything bad.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we're just protecting you because you're one of us. Even if you hurt good person, there.

Cristina: Could be someone who died who wants revenge because they didn't like you or whatever.

Jack: Yeah. 100%. And as well as you could have killed somebody by accident and they're coming back for revenge, and you want to keep that person safe.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it became a collective idea that we all do it and we protect each other. And the people who know where they're going still know the home that they're headed to.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the rules still apply equally. You can either go to the church as a spirit, or you can go to the home itself. As the crier approaches and you see that this is your home. And then the people inside don't need to have costumes because those are your people you're looking for. The people going where have the costumes. People on the streets have the costumes.

Cristina: Okay. Protecting themselves.

Jack: Protecting themselves. Because the bubble is around the prior.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. That's very Halloween.

Jack: Like, interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it just made perfect sense.

Cristina: So it's all connected.

Jack: It's all connected. But now we get to two different weird instances which are very familiar. Instance number Danse Macabre. It is a ritual. So costumes were also used by many people who were pagans, Vikings, and very predominantly in France when performing this ritual. The ritual was of wrist slicing and drinking each other's blood in mass at a graveyard on Halloween after you've destroyed the Jack O Lanterns.

Cristina: Oh, because you want to attract the bad stuff.

Jack: Yes. But you're dressed like it.

Cristina: I don't know if that's gonna help.

Jack: You want. Yeah. Because again, you look fuzzy and weird and different.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You. They're throwing a party.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: With the monsters.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This is what I said before. We're gonna come back to the graveyard being an actual scary place. These people were allowing the bad monsters to come through.

Cristina: Awful.

Jack: And they were doing awful things to one another as well as letting, like. They're inviting things that do awful things so they blend in. They're dressed as weird things that creatures from Shadow are like, what the am I looking at? And they themselves are out here performing crazy. That's like, okay, these. Somehow there's something like us. And so graveyards like this would be dangerous.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: These are bad places to be. You could get hurt by one of the creatures there. The people there will hurt you effortlessly.

Cristina: Don't give a the. Are the creatures able to stay there even after the day has passed?

Jack: No, because it is. There is something about the day that's actually. Factually, I don't know what. It's similar to the bridge that was created from the El Castillo in Maya that they used to cross over to Shadow.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: And it's like they would use the solstice.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So there are points in time that, for whatever reason, align the realms just precisely. And this is one of them. It seems like the last day of October is just one of those days that seems to be capable of zoning in and merging these. Not merging them, but getting them real close to each other. At least passage through them.

Cristina: Does it last?

Jack: Okay, this is, like I said, another reason that people would dress up.

Cristina: Mm, cool.

Jack: They would get into their outfits and perform weird rituals.

Cristina: So crazy. Cutting themselves open and inviting dangerous things. Okay.

Jack: And presumably they were pretty s******* their pants too. Even if they were doing it, it was part of the thrill. Which then made it even easier.

Cristina: Oh, yes, the fear. Okay.

Jack: And by destroying the Jack O Lanterns, you get rid of the protection. The second one. The second weird thing here before we close this up is related to the Isle of Man, if you remember. The Isle of Man is where Mananan was assigned to study the other side of the fairy trees.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay. So they believed, the people of the Isle of Man, that the morning of October 31, the veil between Earth and Shadow thinned. And by nightfall, it was at its thinnest. Like, that gap became super, super tiny. And now they're very, very close. And that creatures from the other world of shadow could more easily come through and select earthlings would more. Would be more capable of crossing to the other side.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: So on Halloween, as soon as the sun falls around that period, people could actually stumble upon. People can cross into the shadow realm.

Cristina: Whoa. Do we have those stories, though? Did they say anything of, like, my. My grandmother. I don't know, like. Because they know people who accidentally entered the shadow realm.

Jack: Yeah. And this actually brings us to something very interesting. The judge who would wander into the Forest of Shadows as a shortcut to get to his job. That is very fascinating because now we have two different instances, one with El Castillo and two with Halloween, of times when you could just wander in.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: And if you could build a gate around one of these instances, keeping it open, you would have to probably activate it on that day, but then the connection is complete.

Cristina: Yeah. We have no idea how that will look like, but we have no idea how that would look like doing that.

Jack: And this judges from a long time ago. But we know that somehow literally traveled into the realm of shadow and collected the fruits. Which then goes to tell us, did l find a way to establish a gate back and forward, which is how he was continuously communicating with Susan. And that being left for God knows how long is how the judge got through. Same area.

Cristina: Oh, no.

Jack: Same period of time. And somehow. And he got through, the guy would cross. And maybe to him, it didn't look like a gate. Or maybe it did. Maybe it looked like, oh, this is just somebody laid out a path here.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But there are instances of gates other than the ones we're familiar with. People have figured ways.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Although it never seems like there's a way into Elfame.

Cristina: No. As far as we know, no one can get there.

Jack: As far as we know, no one can get there. Which makes it the goal, I suppose.

Cristina: Mm

Jack: But that's how a lot of these traditions arise.

Cristina: Stories on the island of Men, or whatever it's called, the island of people going in.

Jack: There's probably stories of people going in. I don't know of them.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I can look into it and find some. But no, that's a. That's where we are. This is the root of current day Halloween.

Cristina: Awesome. Cloud does relate somehow.

Jack: Traditions taken right now, their traditions taken from the midpoint. And those traditions were developed entirely because of lost knowledge and not knowing the origin or how or why things worked the way they worked. Although it seems like the Catholic Church always kind of knew. Mm, you seem to always know. And so, yeah, that's interesting. That's Halloween broken down.

Cristina: Lovely. Happy Halloween, people.

Jack: Happy Halloween, people. Now you know a bunch of stuff. Put some jack o lanterns so you could get some fairies to protect you. Dress up, see the people you've done wrong to, don't come and like cut your throat in the middle of the night, I guess. And bring some bells. Have some. Yeah, bring some bells. Some nice thick bells so you can create a nice strong resonance to cross bridges. And give some people some treats. Cuz why not?

Cristina: Why not?

Jack: They're out there walking and wandering. Might as well. Anyways, if you guys want to contact us, tell us what you thought about this episode, you can hit us up on our socials on X, on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, usconvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the.

Jack: Show and use word of mouth. Tell people with your vocals, especially on Halloween, because apparently you'll be heard everywhere. Let people from the shadow realm know that you enjoy this show and you want them to listen. Maybe, maybe somebody will play. Interesting. We can set up a speaker playing all our episodes just collectively back to back. And then we put a bell next to it that's continuously ringing. We find the right bell and we'll just put this on auto. Put it somewhere. Will we never hear it so that people in the shadow realm. And we put some lanterns there so, you know, people can listen and boom.

Cristina: The graveyard. Lovely.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. They can collect and just podcast listen. Fantastic.

Cristina: This has been the rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye.

Jack: California is a s*** show about getting children. Children go missing all the f****** time. Not just in California, primarily in California, but not just in California. In the entire country. On Earth. F*** it. On Earth, children. Epstein's island disappears and we just suddenly have s*** storms of children everywhere else going missing. Yeah, suddenly just f*** it blatantly. Almost like they don't even care anymore. But why? Obviously the best source of adrenochrome is children, and you're a f****** addict once you're on adrenochrome. The blatantness is because your covert secret.

Cristina: Thingy got busted, so why not make another secret thingy?

Jack: How the f*** are you supposed to do that if people are already watching the elites in any island they might be converging on, or any location they might all be visiting? Which would be the place? No. Now it's like our source of it is gone. They'll get to that. They'll get to that 100%. But their source of adrenochrome is gone, which means withdrawal and desperation.

Rambling 241: The Forest of Shadows

What connects us to the Shadow Realm so deeply? Why do the Mayans continue to reveal deeper and deeper roots associated with the Egyptians? And how do the Sea People have such massive advancements on even the most technological of civilizations? Trying to find any information on the Shadow Realm after consistent data shows ancient research teams contained Jinn and other Shadow Realm creatures as members, the duo are taken far back in time into the past of the Persians, back when they were still known as the Sumerians. What pops up in this research answers questions the duo didn’t even know they had, but leave new standing questions behind.

  • Sumerians
  • The Persians
  • Shamash
  • Judge for the Jinn
  • Ganzir
  • Cizin
  • Ix Chel the Prodigy
  • Inanna and the Fruit of Knowledge
  • El
  • The Forest of Shadows
  • The Bridge of Realms

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Ramblin Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is a show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. That's my best impression of Jerry Seinfeld. That was the most impressive and baffling. Not even impressive. Baffling ideas. What's the deal with airline food? That's what he sounds like to me. What's the deal? What's the deal with airline food?

Cristina: I don't think it sounds like him, but that's definitely something he would say.

Jack: Bare minimum. It's his cadence, even if it's not like his voice. Right. He has like that weird drag. Oh, my God, he has that thing going on. Even if I don't sound like him, his cadence is there is the substance of what makes up his kodansi. Yes, his kodansai. So listen to me, bruh.

Cristina: I'm listening.

Jack: We've been deep diving into s***. Look, a couple of episodes ago, we stumbled upon the Sun Gods. And that was some crazy nonsense about people making a scientific group together with people from the Shadow Realm and some Naga and some. Some Egyptians. And it was weird.

Cristina: It was very weird. Yeah.

Jack: And we were like, wow, people working with the Shadow Realm. But we. We got there by chasing the Naga through Oros. And then I was like, how do I do. I know the Mayans are connected somehow because they always usually show up. It seems the Mayans and the Egyptians are the two most connected groups among all the people, and they're across the world from each other. And so I was like, we gotta look and follow this path right back to the Mayans next time. Which we did. And what did we stumble upon?

Cristina: The Moon Gods. I don't remember.

Jack: No, that's from the Shadow Realm. That's all right. That's what we're calling the people in the Shadow Room for the Universe. I don't remember the Earth Gods. Yeah. Which are essentially a bunch of botanists trying to make life out of plants and stuff, which was interesting and weird, but it was consistent. There was a bunch of Earth Realm people, a bunch of Shadow Realm people, and Naga again. Working together. Working together. And then one really weird part about that was a confusing tidbit at the very end where there's just some stuff that says, oh, yeah, oh yeah, there's.

Cristina: Research in the Shadow Realm.

Jack: Yeah, there's research, not research in the Shadow Room. We don't know that for a fact. They brought. Somebody gave them. Yeah, I guess there's research in the shadow room. It's portal research.

Cristina: The portal research came from the shadow realm. Yeah, that's what that was. Yes.

Jack: But then alternatively, the sea people made a portal for the Mayans, and that was weird.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Anyways, I know a lot of the time it seems like it's very disconnected because I have the imagery and I never bring it in because I just pull out the data and the information, extract that, and kind of keep moving forward from that point. But I. I felt it was necessary maybe for you to look at the actual imagery that connects a lot of this stuff. So I just put them all together because I found the location that was all putting it. And it's like this is how intensely similar these two cultures are looking at the same things, the same visuals, the same structures. And they claim that they were given all the specs by the sea people. So their civilizations were developed by the blueprints that the sea people provided. Here's the entrance of some temples.

Cristina: Is the choice of the entrance importance in some way?

Jack: No, it's just architecture provided by the sea people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: From one all the way in Mexico and the other one in Egypt. Very far apart. More structural similarities. Structure similar. It's gonna get way weirder.

Cristina: What is this?

Jack: Here you got this little T shape that matters and then the little curvy uppy thingy. And here you got the T shape with a little curvy uppy thingy. The difference is the Mayans had a lot of sculptures, as opposed to the Egyptians that had a lot of hieroglyphs.

Cristina: What does that mean? What could you guess about what the image is, or.

Jack: Well, over time, we have enough references that we can pull stories out of them. And when you compare notes, a lot of it is identical. But these are mainly, we're talking architecture and art, how identical they are. Because if I showed you text, they look very different. There's no point. What they're saying is the same, but then we gotta deep dive into that. So it's irrelevant to show you images of those unless you could read them both in their vein of tongues. But this is just consistently like, this is a weird one. The two lions facing away from each other. Now, we know lions aren't even for the Egyptians or the Mayans. It's what the sea people worship.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: Anywhere the sea people are, we see these very detailed sculptures of lions. So here are two lions in some cases, connected by this kind of cross symbol.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The circle and then you have the lions again connected, but there's no cross symbol.

Cristina: There's no cross on, but they're still.

Jack: Connected and facing away from each other more or less the same way with a kind of barrier division in the middle. It's going to get weirder and weirder. It's exactly the same image as before.

Cristina: That's Egyptian. And that's what weird.

Jack: Right?

Cristina: Okay, that was. That's weird. His face is. Do you know who?

Jack: Well, it reminds me of Buddha. But interesting enough, the Mayan version of this is scary. Well, it's ancient. It looks significantly more ancient. And what's interesting about it is, are they. Who are they depicting? If they are both showing us an individual that looks the same. Is this what the sea people look like?

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: You see that? I found that interesting. This is the most vivid version of like a human face that they both have going on. It has the features of human face. Is that what the sea people look like in our current day cultures that came from the Persians and that came from the Mayans. Based on the sea people is like those red dots. The, you know, the tribal look. Was it adopted because they were following these people who were like gods to them.

Cristina: What are we looking at there? What's that?

Jack: We're looking at the dot on the forehead of a face. The dot on the forehead of a face. Just weird that this was a consistency through both of them. Dot on the forehead, the dot on the forehead. This got weird because I've seen both of these and I never connected. The fact that they're. It's a take on the same thing. It is.

Cristina: I have no idea what the first one is. I've never seen the Mexican.

Jack: It's like a human animal type of thing.

Cristina: Mm. Is it as big?

Jack: I don't. I have no idea what the scale is. I know the Sphinx is pretty large, but this is another real particular interesting kind of too exact thing going on.

Cristina: What exactly.

Jack: We got what's essentially a snake with two hands that the snake is laying on and they're kind of creating the same shape.

Cristina: Oh, those are the snake.

Jack: It's the coiled body of something. And it's weird that the structure is exactly the same. One Egyptian and the other Mayan. What weird.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Such identical stuff going on. Either they saw symbols or something very weird. Again, here we got the guy trapped in the thing with the two people. What's happening? Portal.

Cristina: That looks. Yes, portal.

Jack: Are they sending somebody somewhere?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What's happened?

Cristina: That's. So that's a portal. Snow, I don't know, but it's so similar. Whoa. What is happening there?

Jack: What ritual is taking place here? We have a man standing over another person, another person crowning them or about to bash them in the head or something. And the hat the guy has is the same. Why? Why is that the case here? That's the weirdest part. You just got people dress identical across the Earth from each other.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Very odd. Very strange. These are less related. It's just interesting how they structured these the same when they don't normally write this way. The Egyptians do, but the Mayans don't. Yet the Mayan still had laid out in a similar fashion these little cube structure things, the same way that the Egyptians would normally lay out their hieroglyphs. Also, the eye of Ra is that eyeball there, which is the snake, the serpent.

Cristina: Oh, that's the serpent's eye.

Jack: Yeah. Is the eye of rock. What the f*** is happening here? How is this hallway identical?

Cristina: I don't know. That doesn't make sense.

Jack: None of this makes sense. All of these things, the structure of their ancients were identical. The layout to the pyramids were identical. Here we have even more. This is. What's. This is the most interesting one. This is actually the last slide here, the seven points.

Cristina: What do you mean? Oh, okay. There's seven dots.

Jack: There's seven dots. These three creatures in India, Russia and Mexico have the seven heads happening.

Cristina: Yeah. Like seven snakeheads or something.

Jack: Yeah. But then you go into the structural version of them and you have again, India, that happens to have the three dots. Egypt has the three dots. Dots. And the Iranians and the Iraqis, basically the other Persians also had those dots.

Cristina: Okay. And which was the first three?

Jack: It was India, Russia and Mexico. So we have India connecting in two different points, having both variants, which then connects to Mexico. So we have the Middle east down here and we have the South America and then the Northeast.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Just everybody having the same visuals. Interesting enough. I've never seen the mention of Russia in any of this. And this is quite fascinating because. Why?

Cristina: You gotta look through their ancient history.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Like, gotta go way back.

Jack: It's. It's interesting, right?

Cristina: It's the weirdest thing, huh? But I wonder, what's the difference? Because why wouldn't they all choose the body version, like in. I guess.

Jack: No, it's just different representations. They wouldn't have the same art. But they're depicting the same things in their individual art. That's what's fascinating here.

Cristina: Yeah. Well, you haven't come across anything that. That could be representing?

Jack: No, I have no idea what the seven headed whatever or the seven points are, but they seem to be represented across both.

Cristina: Unless this is just another version of. I forgot what those creatures are called.

Jack: The Jinn. You think these are Jinn?

Cristina: No, the snake people.

Jack: Oh crap. I mean we do have one of them. It's literally a Medusa esque kind of thing going on.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So these could definitely be the Naga.

Cristina: No. Yeah, we know they come in different forms and stuff. They don't look the same from the ones we've seen in the past.

Jack: So what I do find the most interesting. Really? Really. Is this center shadow looking version from Russia that gives me shadow creature vibes.

Cristina: So it might not be a Naga.

Jack: Well, no. The other two give me Naga feels. For real?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then down here when we look at just the dots themselves, it's very different. It doesn't give me the vibe of either this representative of something that makes.

Cristina: Me feel like it's even more shadow people related.

Jack: The abstract, obscure nature of it.

Cristina: Right. Yeah.

Jack: The hidden we must. Unless this is somehow representing something from the sea. People who are even more hidden than the things in the shadow realm.

Cristina: Or we do have that one random story of the snake who would wasn't happy where he was at so he popped up somewhere else and became the God. Yeah. Like this could be just one of those stories. One of those creatures deciding no, because.

Jack: These are inside of other civilizations that were respected. Like Egypt had its leader who was not.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So it doesn't apply that logic doesn't hold.

Cristina: That's true now.

Jack: Interesting. Right? I know I don't normally show you the imagery that I stumble upon while.

Cristina: Doing this research, but it is interesting.

Jack: But it's interesting and it's there. There's a lot of connection. I like that. I found this sort of like a lot connected all in one shot so I don't have to like fish them individually. So I was trying to find out because we've gotten mentions of shadow people hanging out with the minds and shadow people hanging out with the Egyptians. And so we know that people came from the shadow realm and we had people who weren't from the shadow realm abandon earthrealm and head to the shadow Realm. Abraxas particularly. So I went on a deep dive to find out whatever I could. And it took me way further back than I thought it would. But where we've been before, somehow it seems like the shadow realm had significantly more connections to us the further back we go.

Cristina: What do you mean, like, the further.

Jack: Back we go in time, the more access we casually had. The more forward in time we go, the more sealed up it seems to get.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As opposed to us starting to build away there now we shut it in a rediscovering away it seems to be. So following this trail, I went back to the Persians. Weirdly enough, it took me.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The Persians are kind of where it all began. The sea people who exist in the neck of the Persian Gulf, also known as the Persian Gulf Oasis.

Cristina: So you found out more about them before they.

Jack: Well, not necessarily. More going backwards when they were still called the Sumerians. So we have to unpack the Sumerians to come up with some kind of baffling details that I didn't know about before. But it's because we began where the sea people were because unicorns took us to the sea people. So we made that our starting point instead of going back and seeing like, okay, what else is there?

Cristina: Where did they come from before they left? Okay. What?

Jack: So the Persians, back when they were known as the Sumerians. Let us begin. There was a man named Shamash.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He was a Sumerian. We're not gonna keep calling them Sumerians. I'm just calling them Persians for the sake of us understanding who we're talking about. But all the Sumerians are Persians. So a Persian judge. A Persian judge known to shortcut through the underworld to reach his place of work. I read that, and I'm like, what the. Somebody's just casually coming in and out.

Cristina: That's just a normal thing in his.

Jack: Normal thing in his life. So Shemesh became well known by the Djinn and was employed in being a judge for the region of the shadow realm in which he'd venture this is just some Sumerian story.

Cristina: I mean, he is. He's not a judge in the. No, he is human world.

Jack: No, he is. He was just cutting path through the shadow realm. He somehow just found a way to get in.

Cristina: But he was judging them too.

Jack: He was using a shortcut. Yes, through the shadow realm to get to work.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: His work wasn't in the shadow realm.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Shortcut means you're cutting through there.

Cristina: No, but it sounded like you also said something about.

Jack: Well, he was. Became familiar with the Djinn and was then employed by them to be a judge there too.

Cristina: That's exactly what I said. So he was. Me. He was a judge.

Jack: He specifically said he wasn't a judge in. Oh, yeah, he's a judge. He began as A judge in Earth Realm is the important detail here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then he shortcut it so frequently that he became familiar with the gin in the paths he was kind of taking. They became familiar with what he does and they're like, wait, your job is to judge people and give a verdict of sorts. Do that for us.

Cristina: It's weird, but okay.

Jack: Very strange. He told his sister Inanna of this path he'd found and the people he'd met traveling through through it, and of his. This peculiar tree. He found a weird tree he found in this forest. Because he was cutting through a forest. Inanna asked to see it personally. And one day on his way to work, she accompanied him through the path, right to the tree. She took a bite of the tree's fruit.

Cristina: What's gonna happen?

Jack: And was suddenly filled with an immense rush of knowledge unknown to those in the Overworld.

Cristina: What? It was just there. It was just there. Whoa. Why was it just there? And did he end up doing the same?

Jack: There was no mention of that. She took a bite of the fruit in the Shadow Realm. She just found a tree. Well, he found the tree in the Shadow Realm. Brought his sister. She bit a fruit in the Shadow Realm. And then. Just knowledge.

Cristina: Whoa. So that's just a normal tree. There's nothing special about that tree.

Jack: It was just a tree.

Cristina: I mean, over there, like, it's very special to us, but, like, it's just a tree over there. There was nothing protecting it. There was no nada. It was just. She just picked the fruit from it.

Jack: Now going backwards gets way weirder than us moving forward and finding connections, because the more back we go, the more dots that are just casually mentioned together.

Cristina: Okay, but is that the end of her story?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Ganzir is an underworld palace ruled by the queen Ereshkigal and her family. They were chosen as the rulers of the region by the leader of the Shadow Realm, Sizen.

Cristina: I don't understand.

Jack: Sizen is exactly the same name that the Mayans used to describe the member of the Earth Gods that came from the Shadow Realm claiming to be the leader of the Shadow Realm. These are the f****** Sumerians, Persians way the h*** over there claiming. Oh, no, the leader's the same guy.

Cristina: Okay, but he chose one of the.

Jack: Just somebody else in the Shadow Realm to watch over this palace, this region. Okay, the weird part here is that they used the same name to describe the guy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like how again, you guys are divided by a f****** ocean, like, way long ago. How the h*** were you guys communicating? They're not even Persians yet. Mayans haven't happened yet.

Jack: How the f*** is this so on point?

Cristina: But the people know about this story?

Jack: I mean, yes, that's how we found out about it. Okay, through hieroglyphs and old texts. So, yes, they must have. Now, Geshtina, a botanist of the Genseer People. The Genseer palace is the one that's being ruled by the family chosen by SZM and Geshtinana.

Cristina: These are our Shadow People?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Geshtinana is a botanist of the Gandir People. Interesting. To a degree. A botanist in the Shadow Realm. Interesting. Whatever though. Until the next line here. Her younger sister, Ixchel. Is that name Platonic prodigy? Yes. She was also a member of the Earth Gods.

Cristina: She's the wife of that guy?

Jack: Yes. Yes, she is.

Cristina: What? These are the same names?

Jack: These are the same exact names. How?

Cristina: How?

Jack: Yep. Okay, but then when I just showed you the structures, like how.

Cristina: Yeah, that wasn't like Persia. Like, if we go to the time you're talking about, is there still stuff, art and etc from that time?

Jack: No, these writings predate those structures.

Cristina: Okay, because what did their art look like? Were they showing the same stories too?

Jack: I don't know. I think a lot of the events happen following this. Keep in mind that the events that we talk about on average, are after these people have already united with the other ones, the Earth Gods. Is these people after they've met the other people? Okay, right now we're talking about these people before they met the other people. We're talking about Ixchell and Susan before they met Izamna. You know, before Idzamna met Ra.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: Okay, weird. But her younger sister, this Shadow Realm botanist, had a younger sister prodigy called Ixcham, who we know later is the wife of Vidzamba. Okay, now you wanted to know again about Shemesh's sister, so let's give you some more details about Shemesh's sister. The judge who wandered through the Shadow Realm. Who the f*** knows how he came in to know the younger sister of Shemesh and the first Overworlder to consume what they referred to as a fruit of knowledge.

Cristina: Of course they do. Of course. Okay.

Jack: Travels to the Shadow Realm with frequency. After familiarizing herself with it, she starts just kind of going on without them. Like it, I've already been here. I know how to get here. Well, now it's unclear how the h*** they're getting here. That part is not elaborated. I looked. I was trying to find out how the h*** how Are you just wandering into the Shadow Room? There must have been some gates somewhere that they've stumbled upon. They're probably wandering to the top of a mountain and popping up somewhere else. Yes, that's my theory. They all are also Persians, which tells me you're probably going to Mount. Probably just going to Mount Kaf. It's.

Cristina: That's probably where you're taking to it at all.

Jack: They don't hint to it at all. But also my cough is in the middle of a body of water. You taking a boat here every day? How are you getting to the mountain? It can't be. There has to be another way. There has to be another way. I don't know how, but maybe there.

Cristina: Was a path to the mountain that was built on the water and we just haven't found that story.

Jack: Could be 100%. Who knows? Now Inanna befriends Gannanana and Ixchel.

Cristina: I can't remember these names.

Jack: The wife of Itzamna.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: When she's just a little girl.

Cristina: It befriends this other person. Sister.

Jack: The judge's sister.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Who keeps entering. She seems to be passing through the palace. The palace must be nearby. The one that sizen. This God of Death from the Shadow Realm. The one that he appointed this family to. And these are the botanists from that palace. And Inanna meets these people and befriends them.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: And they bond over the knowledge of their respective realms. Ixchell, consumed with curiosity, decides to alternate every six months with Inanna. And they would swap places. I'll spend six months over there and then back over here. And when I'm over here, you're over there. When you're over there, I'm over here. I'll just keep swapping places every six months.

Cristina: I wonder why.

Jack: They just wanted. They were so curious about each other's worlds.

Cristina: Yeah, okay.

Jack: But after only a single trip, they decided to swap places permanently.

Cristina: Whaaaat? Whaaat?

Jack: They didn't even do the six month thing?

Cristina: No. Wow. They're just like, nope, I'm in love now.

Jack: Yep. Inanna remains in Ganzir palace for the remainder of her life. And Ixshl remains in the Overworld for the remainder of her life.

Cristina: We don't really know what's the end.

Jack: Of her story of Inanna. Have no idea.

Cristina: Or I guess either of their stories.

Jack: Ixchil's story is to be part of the Mayan group and the Earth gods.

Cristina: Yeah, but like what happens to them? You don't know?

Jack: She marries itzamna she develops data storing technology. We know a lot of her life based on.

Cristina: We don't know what their conclusion.

Jack: No. As far as we know so far, no. And we have no idea what happens to Inanna because finding out what happens in the Shadow Realm without people coming back and telling us seems to be impossible. Yeah, seems to be impossible as of now. Now, Nettie, following the wandering of Shamash into the underworld, Sizen, the God of death, the ruler of the Shadow Realm, instructed Nettie to protect the portal.

Cristina: So there's a portal, of course, in.

Jack: And out of the Shadow Realm. He was shortly thereafter titled the gatekeeper of the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: So. But then this makes it seem like there's only one way in and out.

Jack: It was just that way that they were getting through.

Cristina: Okay. The humans.

Jack: Yeah. There was a way that somebody that they found and people were getting through it.

Cristina: Yes. And he was like, you're gonna protect this portal? Because so far, maybe there's just one.

Jack: There's probably many portals, but nobody seems to know how to go through them. Yeah, except this one. That's somehow casual.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Bellet Sari stationed with Nadi at this gateway to the Shadow Realm. She was in charge of recording, logging and reporting on any and all beings to come through the gates. With exception for Inanna and Shamesh, who had free passes.

Cristina: Cool.

Jack: Now a couple of more details about Sizen that we are quite familiar with to some degree. Sizen is the leader of all the Djinn in the Shadow Realm. We know that he's considered the highest being there. He is a God of sorts, a demonic godlike creature, even according to the Djinn. So the jinn are the human of the Shadow Realm. And they consider Susan some Unjinn, like other creature, some demonic powerful entity.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Out of everybody we have talked about unto this day, we can honestly break everyone down into being just another person. Either somebody who's consumed the fruit, somebody who has drunk blood, somebody who has done something weird to get abilities, or somebody who's using science to be there. With the exception for Mab that we have no explanation for. Assuming they are also just some sort of a scientist at a really high caliber in the Kardashev scale. And sizz it, they might be the.

Cristina: Same or similar things.

Jack: They might be similar things. It still seems that based on the idea of what Mab is, she might have created the Shadow Realm. Which means Szan must be below her. Unless he's not originally from there and he also comes from where she comes from. There's no way to know yeah.

Cristina: There's no way to know. That's complicated. But she's supposed to have made the Shadow Realm.

Jack: She made the Shadow Realm and Earthrealm and all the creatures within the Alphane.

Cristina: Okay. Man, that's a lot of work. Okay.

Jack: Who knows? It could have been instant. It could have been like the Hedron Collider. We don't really do much work. We turn it on, slam two atoms into each other. It took a fraction of a second. Done. We made an entire universe inside there. Like she could be that just running the computer.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's just fascinating. There's a creature who is not like the other Jinn. Like, they are really considering him something different. Something elevated, something escalated. Inanna is just a chick. Shemesh is just a guy.

Cristina: But they don't use the word God, do they? To describe him.

Jack: The Djinn allegedly call Sizen a demonic godlike creature.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So he's something so overpowered in their eyes, they're not even considering him a creature like the rest of what they're used to within their world. He is somehow unrelated to everything else they see in the Shadow Realm. That's just normal to them.

Cristina: Okay. Some demon, God, creature thing.

Jack: Okay. Some whole other thing. Everybody else we have broken down all the way until we know that they are a scientist. A person who acquired something. Something that makes them seem godly to people. Yeah, but Mabin, Susan are exceptions to that rule.

Cristina: I wonder if they're similar to each other. We don't know enough.

Jack: We don't know enough. I know at least the Shadow Realm itself is a product of man. But we don't know if Susan is. Was he made from within the Shadow realm or did he go to the Shadow Realm?

Cristina: Yeah, or she made him to watch over it like she did so many other creatures of.

Jack: Yes. Is he still made by her but not from the Shadow realm?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Fascinating. And if he isn't made by her, why is he in the Shadow realm? Because it would mean he is like her. But then would that mean the Mayans are more overpowered than the Egyptians? And maybe even the sea people?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Then again, the sea people are godly just through science.

Cristina: Yes, they win. I mean, they're the ones sharing everything with everyone.

Jack: Yeah. They have escalated to a point so far that Mab is shook that she is taken aback by the scale and power of these guys. Her own means to cap off power did not work.

Cristina: And probably the shadow people feel the same way about them. We don't know about the sea people. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: It's Completely possible. We only know of their ventures through the Overworld, but God d***, bro. It really seems like at this point, if Sizen, this godlike creature, joins the Earth people and still ends up relying on advances provided by the sea people, like, wow, what does that mean?

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: How high up on the Kardashev scale? Because, okay, we just got to think about the ancient Egyptians and the fact that if the great Void is in fact them, that's stars among stars among stars among stars or galaxies, depending. I'm not even sure.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it's entire galaxies, like, how far up the Kardashian scale are they? They're trapping entire galaxies within.

Cristina: And if they are doing that, they only got that way because of the sea people. Like, they're just sea people up there.

Jack: Yeah, the sea people are so beyond that. Most of space is just a plaything to them. They just happen to home base here.

Cristina: We're just so good at hiding everything.

Jack: Yeah. It's absurd, right? So unaware of when he came to exist, but powerful enough for most Shadow Realm creatures to fear and respect him. The Djinn consideration a God. Now, a story I found from Susan, as provided by the Sumerians, aka the Persians.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: 2 million years bc this is a story by the Sumerians 2 million. 2 million years ago.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I'm not saying the Sumerians were around 2 million years ago, but the Sumerians are claiming the story happened 2 million years ago.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: A man from the Overworld. I don't know how informed you are on things, but a man from the Overworld named El ventures into the Shadow Realm. Sizen did not like this at first, but spared the man. Upon multiple visits, El and Sizen befriended one another. Szin tells El of the Forest of Shadows.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: A Shadow Realm forest inhabited by many powerful Shadow Realm creatures. A place most Djinn avoid. And those who don't, rarely return with.

Cristina: Magical fruits in them.

Jack: Curious of this place. L visits the forest alongside citizen. Now, things you should know that make this very, very, very interesting. As we know, Jesus is a Persian, particularly from the Persian Gulf oasis, AKA a sea person. He claims to be the son of Jehovah. Proven wrong. But Jehovah is also a sea person. Yes, a sea person, particularly high in caliber. Probably the leader of the sea people. Seems to be that in all of these instances, the most educated, most informed individual, kind of like ancient cultures used to work, is the leader. And based on all information we have, Jehovah is the top of the food chain, including of the. When it Comes to the garden and the fruits and just everything. Just everything. Adam and Eve. All of the above, yes. If we look at Jewish text, the order is starting all the way Christianity and moving our way back. Jesus, Jehovah, Yahweh, Chaim. Then El, oftentimes considered Elfrim is. They're both one. If you go far back enough. The gist of gods in Abrahamic religions is a man named El.

Cristina: What time? I do remember that name.

Jack: And the Sumerians claim a man named El befriended a God named Susan in the Shadow Realm two million years ago.

Cristina: The most ancient sea people. I mean, we know they were so far back, like, so impossibly far back.

Jack: 2.5 million years ago.

Cristina: 2.5 million. Okay, this makes sense.

Jack: This is fitting perfectly into the timeline.

Cristina: Oh, was Alhaim the two names like the wife and husband or something?

Jack: So there's a million variants of this. Alheim is two brothers, Elheim is one individual. Alheim is husband, wife.

Cristina: Oh, okay, okay. But so far, yeah, we at least.

Jack: Known when it's broken up into two individuals, El comes first, time comes second. Oftentimes it's considered one.

Cristina: Alheim is El by himself ever in these stories?

Jack: Yes. You'll see L by himself. You'll never see Heim alone.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Chaim is always part of L. L is not always part of him. Okay, so El, Chaim or El, but never just Chaim.

Cristina: Okay, so we don't know if Chaim is real or not.

Jack: No, it's possibly that based on the elusiveness of this, one of two things is going on. Chaim is literally just another name for L or part of his name. And his nickname is L. Or Heim is the actual first shadow individual to encounter, and that's why he's more elusive than El is. So whatever. Jehovah of Dark, if we follow that train all the way up, we land at Heim, presumably. Okay, but there's no way to prove that. That's just a theory. As to the elusiveness of the second part of the name, it's more likely that it's just Elkhrame.

Cristina: It'll be interesting if that. That part of the name pops up somewhere. But. Okay, yeah. Whoa.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Whoa. In fact, that was a really interesting thing to come across.

Cristina: The story they have.

Jack: That's a story they have.

Cristina: That doesn't make sense. Or it does make sense. It's crazy.

Jack: Well, what's interesting is that means 2 million years ago. So if we follow the timeline 2.5 million years ago, we have these people making tools Primitive tools. Which means 5 million years go by. I mean, 500,000 years go by. That's enough time. That's more time than when we began to. Now, we've only been around 100,000 years. They would have 400,000 more years than we would. We've only been around 100,000 years. They would have 400,000 more years Than we would. From the point that they made their first tools to the moment the L meets sizzle. That's how long ago this would have been the first. This is, as of now, the first encounter between an Overworlder and a Shadow Realm individual.

Cristina: Wait, in this story, though, he takes him to the garden. Is that the end of that story?

Jack: No, garden. To a forest.

Cristina: To the forest. Okay. That was the end of that story, though.

Jack: Like the Forest of Shadows?

Cristina: Yes. No fruits involved? No. He ate something in that trip.

Jack: As far as we know now.

Cristina: Okay. I feel like that's where that would lead.

Jack: Okay, well, let's then investigate the Forest of Shadows.

Cristina: Oh, you have information on the forest. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Okay, so part of the forest through which she mesh would shortcut to work and where the tree Inanna grabbed a fruit from was located. So the same forest that El visited. As we know, a hundred. I mean, a thousand B.C. an overworld man appears as recorded by Belit Sari, the one that Susan put alongside Nettie to record anybody who came through. This is known because we have Shemesh, who is the judge for the Djinn as well. So we have, interestingly, a man working in both realms who can report on anything that has to do with the people he's working with. Okay, so, thousand BC an overworld man appears as recorded by Bellat City and claims to. And claims to have a note discussing the location and the contents of the forest. He asks permission of passage and it is granted. Actually, no, I said a thousand. This is 10,000 BC.

Cristina: 10,000.

Jack: 10,000 BC. So this is 10,000 years before Christ.

Cristina: He has a letter.

Jack: Note. He has a note. He's. He made a note?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Somebody gave him or something or he found it or whatever that says where the forest is and what is in the Forest of Shadows. Man is unnamed.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Just some guy.

Cristina: But they just let him through.

Jack: Yeah, he's like, look, I got. So he had some form of clearance, some awareness. Somebody was like, oh, yeah, green light, this guy.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which is weird already.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: You got a Gatekeeper and you got a person recording everything so you can know what the h*** is happening. And this dude, you've never seen 10,000 years before. Christ rolls up and he's like, look, I got a note. And it says that there's a forest here. These things in the forest.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: And then he's just granted passage.

Cristina: That is so weird.

Jack: Very weird. The man is reported to have picked one of every fruit he saw before leaving the forest.

Cristina: They were just cool with that. Whoa. He's a sea person. I don't know.

Jack: I think that was Jehovah.

Cristina: Still a sea person, but still a sea person.

Jack: I think that was Jehovah. I think Jehovah rolled up. He had. He what note? How? Who? Where'd you get it? Where the h*** did this come from? You were just looking through your, like, great grandfather's whatever the h***, and you found the thing and you're like, oh, f***.

Cristina: Oh. Gave him that now. Which I guess would be his great.

Jack: Grandfather or whatever either gave it to him, or he found it looking through old something something. Somehow he stumbled upon this. And he knew exactly where to go and exactly what to look for. Weird. So, story of the Tree of Knowledge. There is a story inscribed on an ancient Iranian temple. It suggests that El investigated a tree within the Forest of Shadows. He concluded that the trees within the forest were twisted and contorted, dry and odd, although alive and fruitful, because they were the roots to trees located somewhere in the Overworld.

Cristina: So it's like the Upside Down. He's telling us. Oh, my gosh. No. What? The Shadow Realm was the Upside down world.

Jack: What we already knew. It was a weird, warped version, but that's even weirder.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: He hypothesized that the fruits of these trees would allow creatures of the Shadow Realm passage into Earthrealm, and that fruits from the branches in the earthrealm would allow earthrealm creatures passage into the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: That would explain the judge. He probably had one of those fruits to find the path.

Jack: He had an overworld fruit he had no idea of and found easy passage into the Shadow realm. Then his sister must have eaten the same thing too, to just be able to casually go.

Cristina: He would know about that. Oh, man. Oh, this is out, right? Telling the story. He man. So then, yeah, he had to have told the sea people about the forest, and that's why that guy went into there to get all those fruits.

Jack: If he's even around. Again, he had a note. Nothing says anybody told him. He just.

Cristina: No, but he probably wrote that note.

Jack: Or Jehovah gathered information, and that's too random how? If your great grandfather already collected the information.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So he wrote it, give you the information? No, he didn't have to.

Cristina: But he did write it down.

Jack: He didn't have to write it down either. He could have just told stories throughout time. And this guy just. Or maybe he was a researcher himself again, he wanted to go investigate with Susan, his friends, like, oh, let's go look. I'm curious. Although it never said that l was a scientist or anything, it was just a guy that led to the creation of this symbol that shows up in.

Cristina: Many cultures, which is a fruit of knowledge, Shadow realm.

Jack: No, it's not a fruit of knowledge. It's a tree that exists in both the Overworld and underworld, where the roots are in the underworld and the branches are in the Overworld.

Cristina: Yes, yes, yes.

Jack: That's everywhere that exists throughout cultures.

Cristina: Throughout cultures.

Jack: Many cultures have the same imagery in many different ways.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Usually depicting some sort of infinity symbol equivalent where there are two equal sides standing up, a bubble on top, a bubble on the bottom, branches on top, branches at the bottom, hourglass shape or something with a line down the middle depicting equality on both ends. Even the yin yang symbol is sort of discussing the concepts that within the dark there is part of the light, and within the light there is part of the dark.

Cristina: See? See? Ooh, that's pretty cool. So that's just a representation, though, of the shadow realm and how connected we are to them.

Jack: Yes. This is how tight they get. Now, notice there is no mention of Elfame in this image.

Cristina: No, because we don't know anything about it.

Jack: No, we don't know. Crap.

Cristina: Even if it was connected this way, we wouldn't know how.

Jack: And it would be in some other way we're not understanding. It could be right in front of us and we're not getting it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This could be. This image could be already informed and we still don't understand how because we don't have the perspective to notice.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: How this image is discussing the Elfham.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: We have no point of reference.

Cristina: It's true. What? It could be right there in our face and we have no idea.

Jack: If we think the shadow people are elusive and all we're getting is shreds from people who've either been there or left there. How much more elusive is Elfame? And that being said, Susan, the highest being within the Shadow Realm. Mab, the highest being within Elfhame. Jehovah isn't the highest being in the Overworld. He's not. He's just another guy.

Cristina: Yeah, because there's no highest being there.

Jack: Might be. And it's not L either, because L is just some other guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, as far as we know, Susan gave L the respect he deserved. That's weird. He didn't have to do that. But he also did that with random humans.

Cristina: You think there's someone that rules this earth sign that's equal to come back.

Jack: To the name that we have no information on. Heim. What the h*** is Heym if it's not part of L? Why can we come across L, but we don't come across Heim by itself. We come across Alchem. Interesting. I think there might be something there. Bare minimum. Okay, and if we have a serpent provided to Jehovah, how far back are there serpents? Susan didn't have a serpent. But he had. He was the big, big bad leader. But it doesn't seem he was advancing society. In fact, when he came to the Overworld, he was underneath Izama. He was just another guy on the team. Even if he's godly in scale, by comparison, he was just a follower.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what's happening. I don't know the scale of anything. None of it makes sense unless you actually know. None of us know.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. So shreds, little bits and pieces. I'm coming across. We know now where Ixshell came from. And weirdly enough, there are stories in Persia, the Sumerians, discussing this Mayan shadow creature. We have Szm being discussed in Persia by the Sumerians, this Trin, Mayan shadow creature. Oh, we have Inanna.

Cristina: Inanna being discussed.

Jack: Sumerian individual, a Persian meeting Ixchel, the Mayan. We already had mention of Ra and Atum communicating with Itzamna. And we know that based on both their testimonies that they have come across the Sea People. And they both claim to have been provided architecture and scientific advancements by the Sea People. And then we look at their structures and we look at their data, and there we look at their stories and we look at their records and their knowledge and their science. And it's the same. Mm divided by oceans. Where anyone else could not have come across each other. These two groups of people seem to be so interconnected, and they both claim the same f****** mountain, Kaath, that's tied even more than Athos.

Cristina: There's nothing we can learn about Kaath. Nothing more.

Jack: Nothing more. Kaath just doesn't even exist as far as we know.

Cristina: Is there any stories about mountains that just reappear and disappear or something. Anywhere interesting.

Jack: Anything. All we're doing is find cough. This is going to aim at Kaf.

Cristina: Yeah, but that would still be really interesting if other places see it.

Jack: Interesting. I see where you're coming from. Well, we know that the Indians knew of it and it was part of their tradition to make a trek there. And as far as H***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Indians would go all the way from India all the way to Kaf.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: But they have no mention of sea people.

Cristina: No.

Jack: So you moved a mountain, but there's no proof they entered.

Cristina: I want to know more about that six headed snake creature or whatever.

Jack: Seven.

Cristina: Seven. Yeah.

Jack: That's an interesting point though. Although there's zero mention of the sea people. The Indians have the seven dots and the seven headed creature snake thing. And that is quite interesting because what is it that they are in fact connected with? If India has these seven headed things and India has the seven dots, what does that mean? What does it mean if they never once, as far as I know, mentioned the sea people? This has nothing to do with the sea people then.

Cristina: No.

Jack: At least we can remove that. The fact that one of them is snakes is interesting. Maybe these dots are representative of Oros or.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Mab or something in Elfame.

Cristina: Even in Russia.

Jack: That's interesting too. All of the. When it comes to the dots, they are all over the hands of people. Like they're holding it up like it's something glorious, something powerful, something marvelous, something above them, something godly. Yeah, but when it's structural, it's demonic and contorted and twisted and evil looking. So as a being, the seven represents something dark. But as the dots, it's God. It's above there. So there must be some godlike thing.

Cristina: His demon and God, they use it interchangeably anyway. Yes, things. Most ancient people, it's like it's good and it's bad and it's evil, but it's great. Like it's not really any. It's whatever it wants to be and we're just labeling it whatever.

Jack: So interesting point here though. Other than the fact that for the. For the Mayans it was a snake. Other than that weird detail. What stops. So in Mesopotamia, India and Egypt, they all consider this some godlike thing. But we know that none of their major leaders were represented like this. What if. And again, the Indians never once mentioned the sea people. What if this is an actual representation of what we were just discussing and it somehow. The God of the overworld of Earthrealm. What if this is the. What if this is what we should be focusing on to find whatever the h*** that is. Sizend is the highest being, the highest power godly by the claims of the Djinn themselves.

Cristina: How do we know that's not Susan?

Jack: Interesting. You think Susan might be just in Oros, not an Oros. The snake part is what throws me off here.

Cristina: Yes, it does. I don't know. That's true.

Jack: But also the Jin do. But they don't just say. If it was just a Naga, then it would have been obvious to the Djinn. Because there are other Naga.

Cristina: But he's so different.

Jack: He's so different. He couldn't be.

Cristina: He can't be.

Jack: It must be something else. There is something else happening here.

Cristina: Gotta do more research.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: It could totally be him. But probably not. Probably not.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. I know. Seven is really important. It's the most important. Seven is the most important. That's what we're looking at. It's the most important. Height of importance is seven.

Cristina: Yes. Seven heads.

Jack: Seven heads or seven dots. So when there's seven dots, doesn't matter how far apart we are. One is in the middle, three on top, three on the bottom. Alternatively, this could be a visualization of the connection to the shadow realm. The top, the thin center, the bottom.

Cristina: And so it has nothing. It doesn't represent that creature. But that creature has to be coming from the shadow worm. I don't know.

Jack: In the case of the creature. In the case of this creature, the Mayan version and the Indian version don't have a center point, while the Russian version does. There's a center point and then three to either side. That doesn't seem to be the case with the Indian visualization of a seven headed thing. And that doesn't seem to be the case with the Mayan representation of a seven headed snake. Being. This is more like Medusa or something. Which is weird because again, that's a Greek Naga. How the h*** are the Mayans so connected to everything they also know about that?

Cristina: I don't know. But what if this is Medusa? Like, well, how would we know it's not?

Jack: How would we know it's not? Well, over here it looks like apes. Seven headed ape creature.

Cristina: It's too hard for me to really see, I guess. I don't know. You see apes in that.

Jack: But then when we look at the dog.

Cristina: No idea. I don't know.

Jack: It's complicated. This is. This is worth picking apart.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because there's something here. Although when we look at Russia, it looks like they are showing us a visual of the shadow realm. Any creature in the shadow realm.

Cristina: I wanna know their story.

Jack: Yeah, we've never come across the Russians. The first mention of Russia is in this image.

Cristina: I'm sure Russia has a lot of horror stories. We gotta look that up.

Jack: Yep, that's what I got. This is me trying to zero in.

Cristina: We are definitely zeroing in on something. I just don't know what it did.

Jack: We're always closer than we were, but we are always left with a crap ton more questions than we began with.

Cristina: Yes, I have no idea what's going on.

Jack: That's where we are. That's where we are.

Cristina: But it's connected somehow.

Jack: Everything seems connected somehow. Everything seems connected somehow. And we have the Persians discussing this dude named El showing up.

Cristina: And that is amazing.

Jack: That's beautiful. That tells us a lot.

Cristina: Who knows where else he shows up?

Jack: Yeah, 100%. That's crazy. He is definitely a sea people. Sea people. Sea person.

Cristina: Ancient sea person.

Jack: Nation. Sea person. The great, great, great something of Jehovah.

Cristina: Yeah. That's so cool.

Jack: Okay, anyways, that's what we got. That's what I got. That's as far as we've gotten thus far. And hopefully we can come up with some other details and find some other things. But as of now, maybe next week we'll come out and put something else. But the similarities are striking and the stories are tying up more, more and more. And now, with the help of L and his conclusions, we have a tighter connection between the Shadow Realm and the Overworld Earth Realm. They're one. So now. Which is why it's easier to get from one to the other than it is to even conceive of what the h*** Elfame is.

Cristina: Yep. Which has to somehow be connected somehow.

Jack: It has to be tied in. It has to be. Everything is tied in somehow. Elfame is tied in. It has to be. You're totally right. It has to be. There's no exception to this. We just don't know how. And once we see it, we won't be able to unsee it. But until we see it, we have no idea what the we're looking at.

Cristina: Yep. But it's there.

Jack: It's there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Anyways, if you guys have any input, please message us. Hit us up on our socials at just convopod on Tick Tock, Facebook X or Instagram.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth. Be sure to tell people who might have some input, insight or any kind of anything to add. If you know anything about the seven headed creatures or the seven points that in hieroglyphs and sculptures are above the most powerful beings civilizations, please tell us.

Cristina: What we don't know. This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening.

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

Rambling 239: The Sun Gods

How many civilizations did Oros send the Naga to? Do they all connect to the greater Sea People and Elfame narrative that is being uncovered? And what could the Naga lead us to about these individual civilizations? The duo trace Oros and the Naga children to two leaders that form one research team known to have directly interacted with the Sea People. The information perhaps provides enlightening perspectives into the other Realms and the intention of the Advanced Civilizations of the past.
