We're testing the equipment today and working out the kinks. We hope you enjoy episode ZERO with The Mystics Social Club!

I want to tell you a campfire story about a poor but humble primate who embarked on a long and arduous journey into time. Well, we have a rather curious subject today, but one that seemingly is involved in practically everything that happens on earth. You know, if we're gonna create this new AI god, you know, you know, I wanna be a part of it. Oh, yeah. That's a thing.

You may notice I was looking towards the doorway and in the doorway and I was looking towards the doorway asleep, but it was like super bright white light behind. So bright that it obscured the silhouettes of 3 figures coming through the doorway at me. Well, she's probably just trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty and you're not listening. She's gonna show up with 1 of, Hecate's babies riding on her back. We're sitting on the fringe.

It's the mystic social club. If it's mystical, we're talking about it, and my definition of mystical is for autumn. Shenanigans. It'll be a hoot with a little bit of nanny. Welcome to the Mystic Social Club.

That's it. I'll play with it some more. So what's this podcast about? I don't know. Courageous Occultist?

This is, like, our introductory episode. So we're just kinda introducing ourselves, I suppose. Why did we start a podcast? There are a lot of podcasts out there. Because we all thought it was a cool idea one night when we were all just chilling and talking shit.

That's insane because we like to talk. Well, everybody's got a podcast, and I feel I'm every I'm I'm one of those. I I can talk about stuff. I can talk about stuff. I'm clever.

Because why not? Clever. No. I, serious answer. You know, if we're gonna create this new AI god, well, you know, I wanna be a part of it.

You know? It should have a little tin, you know, a little hint of Nate. I don't even necessarily know if it's all about, like, the new AI part of it. I think just consciousness in general is evolving. Like, we've hit that next plat or we've hit that plateau for long enough, and now it's time for that little boost up.

And now we're gonna see what the new normal is, and I think that that's why everybody's starting to be like, I'm starting to know things, or I'm starting to see things, or I'm starting to be interested in things that I didn't think were possible before. But for some reason, I think they might be now. Yeah. You hit a point of no return. Like, after so long something.

Yeah. Mhmm. You can only ignore it, and, eventually, you have to acknowledge it. And I think that you're right. That's where we've hit.

Like, you can't ignore it anymore. You can't pretend it's not there. It's there, and you just kinda gotta either grow with it or, I guess, be anti AI and everything else. But at the same time, that's where everything's going. So We're creating might as well.

Part it's part of the natural process. It's part of the evolution of whatever and whoever we are. Right? You know? There is nothing separate from nature for creating machines because we're replicating nature just like nature replicates itself.

Right? Everything that we invent is just a a reimagining of a natural process. Right? The the the the data cloud could be what what what would you how would you put that? The data cloud would be analogous to the subconscious collective or the Akashic records.

Right? Yeah. Storing everyone's thoughts, images, words, everything, essentially. Yes. Crate and Bail library.

They go logish stuff that, like but and, like, how they do use cookies and computers and stuff where it just starts to learn you so it can feed you. The algorithm. The algorithm. There it is. A lot of this a lot of that sue what was considered pseudoscientific thought is coming into the main, you know, arena kinda thing.

They're talking about UFOs, in Washington DC, you know, for the first time in a really long time, which is really weird. New age is flaring up again with a vengeance. Well yeah. And all those, like, released CIA documents about, oh, yeah. Remote viewing is a thing.

Oh, yeah. Telekinesis. That's a thing. Oh, yeah. By the way, we've been studying this stuff forever.

Oh, yeah. And sorry to everybody who he threw under the bus and said you were a loon. I wanna know who doesn't believe that's a thing. Like, how many people are there that actually believe it's not a real thing? What's not a real thing?

Like, telekinesis and all of that. Like, how like, when it like, when when they release it, you're kinda like, duh. Like like, aliens, you're like, duh. Yeah. That was, like, the most anticlimactic reveal.

Everybody's like, we know. We don't care. No. The real story the real the real story in the alien story is, like, it might not be physical at all, and it's actually related to past mystical, legends and religions and demons and ghosts and so, like, the alien phenomenon is related to is a mystical phenomenon. There's no evidence of any actual physical craft.

If there was, I almost guarantee it was made by people and it's some kind of government secret project. But the alien portion of it, abductee stories, all that is this weird psychic world, you know? Well, it's also because some people are just like, oh, it's just when the veils thin or it's just when the different, realities meet or when different dimensions meet, different things like that. So there's a lot of people who are at least being more open to the idea of, could just be, like, you know, a little tear in the whole space time continuum if you want. And it's all fun vocabulary, but what does that really mean?

I get a lot. You get you get a lot. Well, and that's it. That's right. And that's kinda where we are.

Right? Is I don't know how to explain stuff. But But, you know, the Our language is evolving, and our evolution is tied with our language. So we're learning these converging theories, and we're we're reapplying our vocabulary and explaining some of these mystical experiences and less of a a a an analogy and more of a direct interpretation. You know?

Oh, yeah. Because people are I think people are getting more in touch with the idea of what energy actually is and how it's more than we let on. Like, people are starting to see wavelengths more or understand that sound is energy. Waves are energy. Actually see?

Well, yeah. Because if you're seeing if you're seeing your eyeballs? If you're seeing the makeup of the energy, whether it's through meditation or you're seeing it, you know, and you are able to visualize it, maybe not always with your eyeballs, but it with your consciousness, then you can start seeing how it threads through everything, like language, like you said. Your imagination. No.

Okay. Like, how people can, like, see auras on people. You can see their energy. You can feel it. You can sense it.

Yeah. They could see colors coming off of people? Yeah. Mhmm. That's so weird.

I know. But if you've ever seen your signatures Yeah. Like, hold up their hand and, like, move it around, and you can actually see the color? No. What?

No. No. I just I I, I just automatically think those people are a little touched. Bless their hearts. Bless their hearts.

Oh, you're seeing colors? What color am I? No. I don't see colors come off of people. That'd be really cool though.

Mhmm. But here's, like, I I'll poo poo it a little bit. Sure. But I'll have you ever heard of a fella named Itzhak Bentov? I've heard the name, but you're gonna have to elaborate.

Yeah. I got nothing. Well, he was a pretty smart fella. He I He was a pretty smart fella? He was a pretty smart fella.

Just a fella. Look him up. It's Akhbento. They call him old Ben. Look, kids.

Big Ben. It's Ben. Right. He, I was listening to an interview an old interview of his. It would have to be old.

He's dead now. Thanks for that tidbit. I was gonna go look him up in the yellow pages. Just in case you're looking for new content, there's not a lot out there. He wrote he wrote some books, though.

They're great. He he made a a comparison that a long time ago, like, millennia ago and not even that long ago sometimes, when you read literature about people describing colors and things like that, there were only 4 colors that were described a while ago, and then there was 6. And he used that as a direct interpretation of people, their awareness of the world around them. You know, there was no oranges or yellows. It was it was red.

We're only describing 4 colors, 4 primary colors, and then 6. And now we can see lots of different colors, and we're touching right up against the edge of technology where we can sense ultraviolet colors, and that that may be something that that's in our future future. As we develop our language and our awareness and our perception of the things around us, it literally becomes unveiled to us, and we could see more. Right? Maybe we'll develop another cone in our eyeballs, and we could see, like, the the the mantis shrimp.

The what? The mantis. Yeah. You ever heard of the mantis shrimp? No.

Do you guys ever read a book or, like, watch the Discovery Channel? Wow. You went right for that, did you? We know. Sorry.

We didn't pick up our textbook about the ranch's brand. With, like, an encyclopedia. Figure out how they see the world. Did not do that. Sorry.

Amy's like, Google. Google it. The mantis shrimp has another cone in its eye, and it could see the ultraviolet light spectrum. Another fun fact about the mantis shrimp, it can pop its claw so hard that it creates a, a A sonic boom? Yeah.

It does. It's low water? Sonic boom. It's incredible. Okay.

But here to be able to see 18,000 colors because it is 18,000 different colors. It's the rainbow shrimp. But what you brought up was a good point, though, and this is kinda where it goes more over into my realm of the woods. You just brought up the fact of of back in the day, there was 4 colors. But as consciousness grew or we evolved, then we're able to see more.

And you even mentioned the veil kind of comes off. It's the same thing that happens with people in the spiritual world as well. When you're first starting, you don't notice as much stuff. You your senses aren't as acute. You have to really work on your clairs and build those up, and the more you do, all of a sudden, you start seeing more stuff and sensing more stuff.

And it's just you're open to those energies now because you acknowledge them. And I think that that's what a lot of this evolution is. It's knowledge. We're accepting it that it could be there, and just that idea of it could be opens us up even more. Because it's just energy.

Right? And we're just getting better at perceiving it. Crickets? Nothing. Agrees with you.

Mia agrees with me. She agrees. See, that's what I use drugs for. But through meditation, the practice It's so much work. And honing those senses, you can really start working on your clairaudience, your clairsentience.

You know, like, all of those things, your claircognizance even starts going bigger and and expanding out to where you're not just just surrounded by your own energy, you're sensing other energies around you. 5 dried grams. It's like I got it. This solves everything for me. Perfect.

Who has time to meditate? Who has time to ground? Right? Right? No.

That's I mean, you can go that direction. I'm not you know, like, there's no judgment there, but there's also like, long term requires some discipline to hone that skill just like any other skill. Well, I mean, it's like a muscle. Like, you have to work at it to improve it. So and then, you know, muscle memory takes over after a while and probably becomes much easier to do the things, see the things, feel the things, hear the things, all, you know, all the senses, all eclairs.

You you you're like, no. I don't buy it. No. I'm there. I am there, but what do I say about it?

So it's almost like a processing moment. Like, alright. I heard you, but like you said, our language hasn't quite evolved to be able to explain it yet. Like, it's a little bit too far behind what we're actually perceiving, so the language doesn't quite hasn't gotten there yet. Like you said, when I brought up those words, and you're like, but what does that mean?

And I'm like, well, that's just what we have right now to explain it. I don't have new better ways of I mean yeah. Because I even question if language is truly evolving. People just sound more ridiculous. It's devolving, and there's some people who can only type like they would in text messages with emojis and stuff.

And I'm like, I have to be like, okay. What does f o m o mean? And it's like what is it? FOMO, fear of missing out. Fear of missing out.

That's right. I'm like, I had to look it up because I'm like, I don't know what that means. Can you just Language is evolving. And quickly. I think that, like, I wouldn't even say that's the evolution, and that's still evolving.

It you know, it's changed. And because of the technological leaps and how quickly culture changes, like, it changes decade to decade, we're things aren't supposed to we're not used to things moving this fast. We're not built for it. You know? It would take how how how long were they wearing pantaloons?

You know? How long was that a style? That'd last 6 months these days. Right? Pantaloons come in style.

They're out by next fall. Think think about fashion. It's it's over before it's even started half the time. So that comes with the way our culture is evolving and stuff like that. But with language, we don't we're not understanding it because they're creating context so quickly.

Now we have everything's become so, tribalized, bubbled that would you have these little pocket groups and you have that so scibidi toilet, someone says that to me. I don't know what that means, but you but that person just thinks they explained something to me. Right? It's mean vocabulary. We're we're we're going back to hieroglyphics, essentially.

And that's not that might not necessarily be a devolution, but more of a cyclical thing. You know, we have really gone into the quantizing things and separating them the letters and numbers and taking them apart, putting them back together and with a vocabulary. But now we're communicating more in in images that creates a story with a simple picture. Right? And we combine those things, and that's that's this weird language we've got going on because we can do that right now.

We could just send each other a picture or a smiley face. You know? So we're going it's an archaic revival of hieroglyphics. I mean, in all fairness, I have had an entire conversation using GIFs before or GIFs. I don't know the correct terminology.

So, I mean, I understand what you're saying. Yeah. Me and Amy may have had a day where we were like, okay. We can only text today using meme and or I call them GIFs. I don't really care what but that's just what I do.

But, I think they're quite I that's fun to do. Right? I almost feel like we're just trying to simplify things. Like, if I can, you know, tell you be there in 5 in a simpler form, like, that's what we're doing. Just everything, I think, is just trying to be simplified.

Succinct? Mhmm. And sometime I mean, they do say a picture's worth a 1,000 words. Right? So it's easier, like, when you tell me, like, some hot tea, and I just send you a picture of someone go like, what?

You know? Like, you get the whole context of what I just what I what I'm feeling just with a picture. So why wouldn't I do that, especially when we're not right next to each other because the world's gotten so big with technology where we can be friends with someone that we've never actually been in contact with human to human with, but we can still, I don't know, like, profess or, like, you know, like, share in emotions even that far apart, or we can share in in feelings, whatever whatever you wanna say about it, just by sending a funny picture. Right? Because because sometimes it's just like I mean, how many times too you get a text, and it's just you know, you say something like, I got something to tell you, And then you just get a text back of 2 eyeballs staring at you like, what?

What? Tell me. Tell me now. I'm on pins and needles. You don't need to say anything else.

You know what I'm asking for. I'm asking you to spill it. You know? That's it. That's true.

That's true. Because everyone like, you read a text, you read it in the tone that you think that person's using. So when you use the picture The picture is all easier. Yeah. Yeah.

Because you could be like it could be the one of Kermit the frog sipping tea. Like Mhmm. Oh, I got some hot tea for you. Here it is. And you know?

But if I just put, I have some tea for you, you're like, oh, wait. Is that gonna be good tea or bad like, because you're trying to figure out the tone, but if you use the picture Yeah. It's easier to decipher. Then it's like, oh, someone did something. Right?

Kermit's sitting there being like, wait till you hear this one. Someone f around and found out. Mhmm. So, I mean, ultimately, Nate's right. We are basically kinda going back to hieroglyphics and everything.

But I think it works. Mhmm. It's just difficult when you're like like Nate said, if you're not in that tribe, if you're not in that group and you don't know. Like, it took me freaking forever to figure out what the kids were talking about when they say, oh, they riz ed on this. And I'm like, riz what what?

What what does that even mean? Because, I mean, when I was growing up, that sounded like something else. Mhmm. And so I was like, could you give me some context when you said they were rizzing on you, please? That would be great.

And they're like Mhmm. You know, like, flirting. I'm like, how did you get flirting out of that? And they literally had to say, Charisma. And I was like, well, that's just odd.

Okay. You're like, I get it, but I don't. Thanks for explaining it to me finally. Sure. It it was right.

You know, it did the usual. Sure. Okay. Mhmm. Okay.

Thank you. I'm gonna go now. That's enough. Right. Like good.

We're all good. Totally fine. Yeah. I just ask my little sister stuff. I'm like, what does this mean?

Like, a long time ago, she said l b v s. That's all it said. And I'm like, what? I don't even know. And she goes laughing, but very serious.

And I was like, oh, I get it now. Like We've come a long way from LOL. Yeah. We've come a long way. L m a o l l, a f o.

Mhmm. When you're not typing it and you're just trying to say it out loud, it's way harder Mhmm. Than when you're just typing it. She kinda have to embrace it, though. You have to embrace it.

Don't fight it. This is new. You you're witches. Right? Right.

You do this stuff, okay? You do spell work, right? You do spiritual work and stuff like that. Not confirm nor deny. Why y'all why y'all come up business?

Why y'all put my business? I'm just saying. So if we're if we're the Mystic Social Club and we investigate magic, these are spells just like old ancient spells. The reason people were afraid of them is because not everyone was literate, and it was magic that you could turn, put thoughts onto a piece of paper. And that was worth burning somebody over because that was, you know, and now, you know, we look at these like, oh, scary spell.

I don't understand it. It's bad. Get rid of it. You know, you need proper language. This is how we do that.

Right? That's religious dogma. Mhmm. And I will not abide. You just said, you know, words on paper must burn them.

And I'm like, is this why people are burning books again still in that thing? Like, can't burn the people anymore, so we'll just burn the literature instead. We could still burn people. You know? I mean, it's frowned upon.

Well, it's illegal. All murder is illegal, actually. We keep we keep telling people it's against the law, but it keeps happening. I'm wondering if we need to try a new tactic on that one. Mhmm.

For some reason, it's just not working. No. I've see I've seen The Purge. I would not like to experience that. No.

Thank you. You've watched all the weird shows. I can't watch that stuff. That stuff just makes I'm just like, nope. I'm good.

I don't need this in my in my head right now. No. I mean, like, Final Destination. There's certain things I still can't I still can't do it. I can't do it.

I cannot drive behind a log truck. I can't stand next to a a train that's going super fast. Like, nope. I can't put my hand anywhere near a sink. You are here at, like, the opposite of an adrenaline junkie.

Oh, opposite. Absolutely. The only reason I can do roller coasters is because it's kinda you hit that point of no return, and you're strapped in. They're not gonna let you off. True.

That's the only reason that I can do it. I have to check, like, safety or shooting, like, 5 times. Otherwise, I'll probably just have, like, a major freak out because I do not. I just go for it. The fear is the best part.

Nope. So never get on a ride with Nate. Never. I don't even know if I could go to, like, Disney World and get on It's A Small World with Nate now without being, like, death by doll. Mhmm.

Yeah. Right? She's like, hey. Remember that movie you loved when you were a kid, Chuckie? Mhmm.

Just saying. Yeah. I don't know about any of that, but our boat does get through it fastest. Do they even have that ride still there? Like, it's gotta be like they do.

Oh. I think they do. I don't think they're I think that's one that they're never gonna get rid of, and that's usually for some unknown reason to me, the one people always try to sprinkle the ashes of their deceased loved ones at. What? Is yeah.

I don't understand. Yeah. They they try to do it. Who was it? Whoopi Goldberg was talking about how she was, like, fake coughing to spread her mother's ashes.

I think it was at Disney I think it was Disneyland. Maybe it's Disney World. That sounds like a that sounds like a people thing to do. Yeah. She weird.

She she did that. But, you know, my brain says, I wonder how many people have tried to put, you know, spirit in one of those dolls in that ride. Oh, in a lot of those animatronic rides. You ever watch that, like, SNL when it was the Tom Hanks plays the pumpkin man or whatever? And it was the they're going on the ride, and the dolls come up, and they start with knives and stuff.

Yeah. That's terrifying. Disney has ties to a cult organizations, and all of those dolls are preoccupied. They're not there's no vacancy in sight. I'm pretty sure of it.

Just like their wards. Determa Ward. Determined. Determined. You gotta really up your game if you're gonna start getting through some of those words that some of these things have.

Okay. Most people wanna go, like, the Vatican. Amy, where do you wanna go? Disney. How do I get that quote?

All the secrets. Mhmm. We're gonna start with this one and then work our way up. Moves to top of watch list. Here we go.

Think I heard a black band right now. Hold on. Hey, me. No. You're not gonna get put on a watch list for astral projecting into a secret installation.

They're just gonna shoot you with a heart attack gun. Well, that's rude. If they come at you officially, then they'd have to admit that that you could do that. So if it's just, you know, they're they're gonna ice you. Cut your tether.

Yeah. You you'll commit suicide with 2 shots to the back of the head of a stranger. It's better than that than getting thrown in the pokey. Mhmm. The pokey.

Yeah. The pokey. The pokey. Yeah. That's what they used to call the jail.

You do need to update your language. Excuse me. Toilet. Has no one ever heard of getting thrown in the pokey? I I was thinking more of the chokey from Matilda when you said it.

Not gonna lie. Know what that is. Yeah. The pokey is it's prison, jail. The pokey.

The slammer. Is that is that one of those weird hauler sayings that nobody else knows, and now I sound like a dum dum? No. No. I'm perfect.

Old. He just were not supposed to be revealed. It's not old. It's nifty. It's the pokey.

Nobody even knows why it was called the pokey anymore. It sounds way too sexual. I'm gonna throw you in the I'm gonna throw you in the pokey. So we kinda get the gist of what we're we're we're gonna be talking about on the, on the show. Everything and and anything.

And it's gonna on the fringe. It's the mystic social club. If it's mystical, we're talking about it, and my definition of mystical is broad. It is a broad, broad brush. Sometimes I may be throwing in specific topics.

It might be a book review. It'd be really nice to, to have some guest interviews even. I don't know. We'll see what it turns into. We're gonna do what we like.

Mhmm. I like it. Topics. Shenanigans. It'll be a hoot with a little bit of nanny.

Well, that sounds good. Well, you've brought up you both have brought up wards, and it's oh, should we get into the discussion? We're gonna have to save this for another one. You guys are gonna have to convince me on wards. That's gonna have to be a future episode.

Oh, we have to convince you on wards. Like, what that they're real and that they work? Yeah. Or that you need them depending on what it is you're doing. Well, what Katie said is what you said would be dependent on what Katie said being true.

So all of the above. Well, that's it. I think this would be a good first recording. We can listen back to it and see if it's worth doing anything with. You know?

And I know that I've probably sounded like an idiot sometimes, so I might not even wanna listen to it again. I don't know. There was some fun stuff in this. Yeah. I think you could edit it and kinda like This is this is like a smattering of what you're gonna get.

Yeah. Yeah. These are the kind of fuzzy. Like a unofficial pilot. Alright.

That sounds good. That sounds real good. Push it real good. Sorry. Everything's a song.

I, I'll I'll figure out how to walk us out, I suppose, of the podcast. The outro instead of the intro, the outro. Well, you know, I gotta we gotta say something like, thanks for joining us. Blah blah blah blah blah. See you next time.

I think that should be perfect, and you should say that exact same thing. Mhmm. Yeah. Thanks for joining us. Okay.

Blah blah blah. Bye. Alright. Well, thanks for joining us. Blah blah blah.

See you next time.
