THE UFO FILES DROPPED AND THEY FOUND NOTHING

162 classified UFO files just dropped — no aliens, no proof, no smoking gun. This week on Temporarily Scripted, a British comedy news podcast, Jack and Adam predicted it days before the Pentagon release and got into ancient Egypt, lost civilizations, consciousness, and the Hermetic principles.

Plus: hantavirus killed three on a cruise ship and the media is running the pandemic playbook again.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Temporally Scripted after a short hiatus. Last week we were not available due to various power situations, but this week we've got some massive stories to talk about. So we're gonna find out this week if aliens are real. Like Donald Trump's dropping it all, he's gone to the FBI, and we're gonna find out all of the secrets that they have about aliens, which we've been waiting for, or maybe it's a cover-up, we'll see. And there's also another deadly virus you should all be scared and afraid of, and maybe it's time to start injecting ourselves with random substances that are approved by the FDA. Anyway, moving past that initial point to the face you've probably missed over the last 14 days, it's the man, the myth, the legend, Adam Garcia. Welcome back. Here we are. It has indeed been a long time. Um, I don't know if it was for the government trying to suppress us speaking about UFOs, but I, I think that's why we weren't here last week. Yeah, definitely. Or maybe we are UFOs, and, you know, we're part of the files that are gonna be released next week, the Temporally Scripted podcast. I mean, there were, there there are some theories about that, how, yeah, some, some aliens are here and we're actually disguised as human beings, but I'm not sure how, how true that is. Well, let's di- dig straight into this. So back in February, Trump said that, uh... Well, he, he made an order to, as he does, to declassify a load of records on extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena, UAPs, rather than UFOs. Um, and Kash Patel, who's the FBI director, has confirmed that the agency has delivered the first tranche of UFO-related documents to a inter-agency committee led by the Department of War. And the public release is- That doesn't sound Orwellian. Not at all. Um, and the public release is g- it'll be the Department of Love, right? Um- Yeah ... b- but, but it's, you know, it's so soon to be released. And yeah, interesting. What's your take on this? It is interesting. W- when you started talking about that, you said, "Well," and Trump's said a lot of things. He always says a lot of things. Um, so it's always difficult to know what to believe or what's coming next because that's just how he is. And I mean, the Kash Patel thing, also, it was, um... There was another important tranche of files that made the headlines not long ago, and originally they said, "Oh, we've got thousands of files, thousands of files." And then Kash Patel's like,"Oh, we, we, we don't have any files. We've n- they've never been there." Eventually those files got released, and it got pushed forward, so we don't know what's gonna be announced next. But it could be, "Oh, yeah, but we've looked in there. There's nothing in there." But we don't know. It could be a whole number of things. We don't need to show you, basically. Yeah, need-to-know basis. You don't need to know. Yeah. I mean, th- there's obviously the, the angle of this that the timing is very well-placed, given that there is all this stuff going on in the Middle East, midterms coming up. We've seen this before, haven't we, with, like, Epstein file releases, you know, hitting at the exact times where Trump's opinion in the media and whatnot is lower than usual. So the skeptic could say it's just a way of giving us some smoke and mirrors to look at instead of whatever's going on in the Middle East. But it, it could also go the other way. I mean, it's interesting. Like, we are, we are seeing some wild stuff at the moment, so I, I... It's, it's a slight jump, but it's in the same area. I, I saw that the, the guy who's, like, the head of the British Defense, Mi- Ministry of Defense or whatever in the military side mentioned that the, the, the, the, the dome that the Americans have used over the Strait of Hormuz in the last week is, like, if it's true, is sixth generation warfare. So it's basically a system that's, like, AI and robotics to be able to identify targets and make kills in, like, microseconds. Um, so we're, like, on this dawn of, like, military level of technology that we've never, ever seen before working in action, although then very quickly withdrawn and not being used anymore. And then the other thing that's really interesting that I don't know if many people are aware of is that, like, the US is pretty much the biggest source of, um, oil and gas right now because they've been fracking and setting up these fracking systems so heavily in the, like, Texan states, like, the, the, the, the, the outskirts of, of, uh, Texas, that, like, part of that is driving what they're doing militarily as well. Now, obviously they do s- have to import stuff and so it still costs them, but there's, like, less of a reliance on, uh, natural gas, um, oil, and all of these things. There's, there's a lot of that now in the US. Now, the reason I'm giving all of this background is there's, there's not as much of a push other than political for Trump to stop what he's doing in the Middle East. Is there, is there, you know, is it a cover or, or could it be... So on the other side, I heard that, and again, sources are One of my mates told me that they'd read about it, so My mate Dave, he, he's an expert on these things So just to, just to let you know. Yeah. But, um, th- th- there's been, like, a load of Christian and, like, other leaders going and having conversations about what's about to come out, and that it's at that level of crazy, you know, down to the point that maybe they're some past civilization that left Earth and left some people to monitor us, and maybe AI is the sentience or something. I don't know. There's, there's a lot of crazy stuff that takes me back to some of the experiences I had in my 20s, you know? Yeah. Um, which is really interesting. I mean, in ancient history we have so many unexplained things. One of the... And some things that are kind of tested but not completely backed. But, um, recently there was, um, scans done of, um, a labyrinth in ancient Egypt, and these scans revealed... So the water table has been rising and rising there, so we can't actually go down and investigate. But it looks like it was this ancient missing labyrinth that was wrote about by Greek historians such as Herodotus. But one, one of the things that a scan showed was this huge metallic Tic Tac shaped object in the center of this labyrinth, which is just wild, just like the Tic Tac metallic UFOs and, uh, other sightings that we've had in the past, which would be crazy. The whole thing with ancient Egypt, we just, we still don't know how the pyramids were made. We don't know what they were used for. There's no... And this thing, they say, "Oh, well, yeah, they just, they put a lot of effort into it." And it's like, yeah, you can put a lot of effort into things, but that doesn't mean you, you build pyramids that are perfectly aligned to true north. There's all these ratios, which means it's a reflection of the size of the Earth, all this crazy stuff. And some of these blocks, you have areas in ancient Egypt where they're carrying, like, 500 ton blocks allegedly down a river for, like, 500 miles and then building with... Which it's just sort of impossible. And there's all these things that we just don't understand. And were, were the pyramids used as a, a burial? Well, we've never found any bodies in there, ever. That's never happened, 'cause it was always in a, a tomb or Valley of the Kings, et cetera. And then, yeah, there's so much precision in the things that they made to the point where we can't really do it now. So I think the idea of an ancient civilization Being around, being wiped out when there was the, the flood or whatever else, it, it's feasible. And- Yeah ... interestingly as well with ancient Egypt, what you have is, uh, the earlier dynasties seem to be, like, highly technological, and then as you go over time they get less technological, which is usually it's the opposite way around. So it's almost as if they started with kind of high technology and just didn't quite understand it and got worse at it rather than moving up to it, which is really bizarre. And there's, there's theories about it being, um, a power plant or a chemical factory, all kinds of different things using, like, resonance and energy. Uh, just all kinds of crazy things and crazy wild hypotheses everywhere, I guess. But there could... I think what's far more likely is that there were ancient civilizations that got wiped out. I think that's more likely than some other civilization being able to travel that far. If you think how difficult it was for us to go around the Moon, uh, a few weeks ago, to do that to the nearest star, there's no way you're gonna do it with, like, chemical rockets 'cause that's just gonna take, like, years and years. It's just, like, way too long, you know? You'd have to have- Yeah ... some other technology to transport you instantly. Could that come along? Maybe. But yeah, I think it's far more likely that we have weird stuff from long ago than people actually coming to visit us, and I think, I think as well with the whole UFO thing, think how good cameras have become over the last 10 years, yet every UFO sighting is still this, like, really dodgy, shaky, grainy footage, and you're looking at it going, "I, I can't tell what that is. That could be anything", you know? Yeah. Plus the fact if you were an an- uh, you know, a civilization coming from afar to visit and your role was to, like, observe humanity without them knowing about it, how likely is it that you would be able to travel across all of these galaxies, dimensions, time and space, but not figure out how you can, like, make yourself invisible to the human eye or camera? Unless they of course have- Yeah ... right? So maybe when you take a photo it's a built-in defense system that they've got that deliberately makes it look grainy so that people- Could be ... can't tell what it actually is. So when they were there at the time they took the photo, it was, like, as clear as a bell, and then as soon as they looked after they're like, "Ah-" Man, I, I'm sure there's, you know, like taking pictures on a drunk night out. You're like- Yeah ... "Oh, I got loads of, I bet I got loads of good pictures last night." And you, like, start flicking through and it's, you know, the, your finger basically. So there's that. Um, a couple of things come into my head. One of them is a random tangent, which I'm gonna get out of the way first for the ladies and gentlemen, is funny with the pyramids, like, have you ever seen some of the Google reviews that people put on the pyramids? Some of the one-star Google reviews? No, I haven't. Hilarious. So there's stuff like, "Oh, it's so... It's too big. Why is it so big?" Um, is a- ... one-star review. Someone else complaining about how sandy it is. Yeah, that thing in the middle of a desert that's 4,000 years old. Yeah. Somebody complaining about how hot it is as well, and, like, how it's not, you know, built for people to come and look at and enjoy. It's, you know, sandy and hot and too big. Yeah, so the... That made me laugh, just of where we've come down to. We've created a technology that's so good in advance that we can all access it from m- multiple devices in our homes whenever we want, to complain about things that we don't know how they were actually built in the first place. That's a fairly, you know, how advanced we've become in the mode of complaint is quite impressive. Um- Yeah. Well, it's a lot of people's pastimes, isn't it? Just to complain about things or, uh, I, I find, like, with, um, like Google reviews, you know, on like Google Maps, I've, I think I've done one or two when people have asked if I've been in a place, and they say, "Oh, would you mind leaving a, a good review and freely help us out?" It's like, "Yeah, sure. No problem." But some people, they're just on there constantly."No, I went here and it was uh." You know? You can just imagine this weird, weird person just raging at the phone screen for no reason 'cause it, it took 15 minutes to get a coffee instead of five or something, right? One star, never coming here again. Yeah. They'll just do it multiple times, like all across a town or city. So I, I'm a local guide with like o- more than half a million views on Google reviews, but all of my reviews apart from one of them are five star. Because the only time that I'll think,"Oh, I'm gonna leave a review," is when I was, like, really impressed with the food or the service or something, and I'm like, "I, I'm gonna go and leave them a positive review," be- and take some photos or whatever. Um, um, and it gives you weird dopamine when people are, like, looking at your- photos of you eating your dinner and stuff. The only time I ever left a one-star review was when we went to a restaurant here in Da Nang, and they, um, my wife was drinking her water, and it was like, it smelled like bleach. So we asked them, and they were like,"Oh, yeah, we just, we use a little bit of bleach in our washing up process. It's, it's nothing to worry about. It's only a- ... tiny little splash of bleach." I'm like, "Um, yeah, it's not really how bleach works." But anyway-... um, so it's not that hard to think that we came from a, a more advanced civilization. But back to the original point of, you know, people saying, "Oh, well, we would know, and we'd be able to, like, find traces in all of this stuff." It's like we've only really scratched, like, a very small percentage of the oceans with all the technology that we have today. Um- Yeah ... if you look at the Amazon rainforest, like, as they're deforesting and f- felling trees, logging, whatever, clearing space for farmland, they keep coming across, like, not ancient, ancient civilizations, towns, cities that they never knew existed. Yeah. Within- And LIDAR's- ... a short space- ... helping as well. Yeah, so within a short space of time, like, the, the rate of growth over things, people don't understand. Like, if you, if there's a road that doesn't get used and nobody ever walks down it or drives down it, within a few years it's gonna be covered and broken and stuff. It's like it doesn't take as long as people think for the earth to get rid of every trace of us. Well- It's not like a very- But- ... long period of time at all. It's really not. And also what happened is after the end of the Younger Dryas, so the last Ice Age, uh, there was, like, this huge e- event. We, we don't know exactly what happened. It could've been, like, comet strike, coronal mass ejection. We don't know. But something happened to the Earth, and it caused just loads and loads of ice to melt. So if you think, like, uh, most of North America was under about two kilometers of ice at this point. So all of this melts, and then sea level rose by about 400 feet. So when... E- even if you look on a map now, most towns and cities, they're either on a river or by the sea because water's really handy for stuff. And so that would've been the case back then as well. And so yeah, you're right. It's like we are finding things in the Amazon, but as well, we're not really searching underwater. And if everything went up by 400 feet, the majority of things from ancient times probably are under the sea. Yeah. Yeah. And then it comes into- reasons for why th- this is, this is the case. Because even if we did start to figure stuff out, why would we not tell people? And I mean, I don't think it's any coincidence that America being the one of the biggest, uh, Christian countries on the planet, if not the biggest, I might be totally wrong about that. But it, it, it's if, if everybody's following a certain belief system of like, okay, well, you know, seven days God invented this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever you believe, right? It, to come out and then say, "Oh, well, a- no, actually there was an ancient civilization way before this, and we are like a result of that civilization." And then that's not even to start digging into the depths of the human mind, because in the modern world, we live as a very frontal cortex, um, uh, being, right? We try and solve all of our problems and everything that we do with the front of our brain. But in fact, it's not that part of our brain that does any of the stuff that we need to do. It's all bits of not really as well understood parts of the brain. Like even down to picking a pen up off the table, that, that problem is not solved by the front of your brain. It's solved by a different part. So that, you know, we, we kinda live in this world where we don't even use all of the percentage of our minds, let alone understanding exactly what was here before or whether or not they were just humans that had a different level of consciousness and understanding. Because time really isn't a thing, you know? Like, like time is something that we kind of have as a human way of experience and construct and whatever, but like there's, I, I believe there's levels to consciousness. There's a lot of different levels to what's going on, and I think that, you know, even down to the thoughts and the way that we approach the world is vibrational. Like I read this book recently, um, by a guy called David Hawkins who studies lots of like levels of consciousness, and they basically have like an index up to 1,000 of like what your consciousness index is. And like the population is pretty much like below the level of 200 on this measurement index, right? And the reason for that is because everybody, you know, mostly anger. Anger's like a high level of emotion for people. Most people are like apathetic or whatever, all these other things. Like all of that that we're kind of deliberately made to stay in because of the news and all of this other crap. Like we have no idea of our potential even as using the full capacity of our minds. So if you then go back, it's like what does it mean to be extraterrestrial? W- where does this come from? Do, do you see what I mean? Yeah. Um, I mean, that is an interesting point, and I guess we're definitely not using our minds to their full capacity or full potential in any way. And I think there's just, especially in the modern age, there's so many distractions Everything's a constant distraction, you know? And it's like no one actually even just sits anymore. You know, it's like, uh, in the old days, if you were waiting for a train, you might, you might read a book, you might read a paper, you might just sit and think about things. What happened today? What's my plans for later? What's, what's going on with this? And actually, like, have more time processing. Now, if you're waiting for a train and you're not like this staring at your phone, people think you're nuts. It's the same, it's like you go to any appointment, whether it's a dentist, doctors, whatever, and look around you, there's no one that isn't distracted looking on their phone. Uh, just off in this like, uh, uh, what is essentially a, a sort of hypnotic state, and it's just shutting down parts of their brain and, and people think they're learning stuff sometimes. Like, "Oh, I'm on TikTok, I'm looking at, uh, economics or news or, or, or IELTS or whatever it may be." But, but they- Nice clip these sh- these short videos are just... They're, they're, they are brain rot. And studies show that it actually impairs memory rather than improve it. So even though you think you're learning, you're actually impairing your memory at the same time, and we're, we're running at a, a really low level of our potential at 100%. Yeah. Yeah, and it makes me sort of think that it, it makes so many more things make sense about the information that we're mostly given. Like, most of the stuff that we're told is all doom, gloom, like worry about this, worry about that, all of this kind of stuff. And it's, it's, it's bizarre, right? Because I've been looking again recently a lot into, like, visualization and, like, picturing future states, things that you wanna achieve, and I'd never heard this explained this way before. Um, it's in a book called Psycho-Cybernetics, but it says, "If you think about it, your visualization process is the exact same process as worrying." But it's just- Right. Oh, yeah. Of course ... for a positive outcome instead of a negative one, right? So when you worry, you're picturing future states in a, in a negative way. So like, oh, what if I miss my flight and then I won't get to my connection, and then I'll have to pay extra for this, and maybe I'll get stuck at night in a country I don't know, and da, da, da, da, da. Yeah. So it's, you're picturing in detail- And it works with a lot of things. Right. So, so- So it's just... Mm-hmm. Carry on. Yeah. No, no, no. So I'd never thought about it that way, right? It's like, wait, hold on. It's the same process as worry- Yeah ... but just about something positive rather than negative. And also, so things like, um, anxiety and excitement are the same thing. So you've gotta go and do something big, maybe it's like a, an exam or something else, and before it you can feel that your heart rate's like... Your heart rate's up, your breathing's off, y- maybe your hands are, are shaking or feeling cold or something. Kinda. But that's the, that's the same, it's the same kind of stimulation, the, the same, not emotion, but state. Whether you're anxious or excited, it's the same thing, and it's what you do with it. Um, so 'cause that thing of when you're feeling anxious, you g- and you have all that raised heart rate, e- everything else, you, your eyes are moving faster, your brain's running quicker, it's like that's just your body being ready to perform. So an, an athlete who's about to run 100 meter race will have the same thing, and it all kind of comes from being hunter-gatherers, and it's like,"Oh, crap, there's a tiger over there. What shall I do? Be really chill?" Well, that's not really gonna help. So, so the brain came, the, the came... The brain in evolution came up with a way of going, "No, get this, like, state going so you can run away really quick or do what you need to do and think fast." And it's the same thing. When we're excited, it's, it's the same, it's the same thing. They're like two ends of the same magnet. It's both the same state, basically. Yeah. Yeah, and I think there's a, then there's a whole power to that where it's like th- this, this other thing blew my mind before we go back to the topic, although it is related 'cause I think all of these things are contained within rather than without, you know? It's like everything is- And everything's aliens anyway, so Yeah, it's all aliens and whatever. Like- Big foot ... we're, we're all a, a simulation of, of, uh, from the same life source in whatever way, right? It's like... But anyway, uh, you know, when you, even when you do worry about things or concern yourself with things, like, people do this before they make... They do it after they've made a decision, and it's like a subconscious way of, like, trying to get out of the thing that you've gotta do. So imagine, like, if you, uh, are gonna make this decision to go somewhere, say there's, like, a social event or a networking event or something, and you're like... You make the decision, but you don't really wanna go, and then you spend the whole time like, "Ah, I can't believe I've gotta go to this thing," and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."Oh, why did I just say I was gonna do this?" And then you get there, and you're miserable, and you try and leave as soon as you can. Again, it's like the wrong way of using the mind, isn't it? Because really you should do all the worry and the concern before you make the decision. And then- ... you go or you don't go. Yeah. And once you've made the decision to go or to do the talk or to invent the thing or whatever, then you just, there's no point worrying then because you've already made the decision. It's like- Yeah ... oh, okay. So it's, it's cr- it's crazy, and I think we've been conditioned To use our minds in a way that limits us. And I think that links right back to, like, the pyramids, how were they built, all of this stuff. I think because the mind was just capable of so many more things. Like, I think if we didn't have fire now... I know this is kinda hard to picture, but we were like the, the level of expansive of mind that humans have now with all of the shit we consume, in a cave to try and figure out how to make fire was just never gonna happen. Because there's not enough, there's not enough capacity of brain of like,"Okay, we need to make this thing," and then all the time it takes for the brain to figure out how to do it. Like now we're so, like you said, we're so distracted all the time that actually creating anything cool is like we almost need AI to come and do that for us because we're so distracted by all the other stuff that it takes to get there. Yeah. We need, we need AI to come along and take over for us 'cause we've lost the ability. But then unfortunately, AI is also trained on Facebook and Twitter and Reddit, and so maybe it'll just be the same- Actually ... but 10 times worse. So, so if you were a gambling man, before we move on to our next feature for today, if you were a gambling man and you said, "Right, this weekend all these UFO files are gonna come out," would you say that it's gonna be, "Oh, wow, yes, there was an ancient civilization that we've all lost touch with, and they left some people here that are, like, monitoring us, and that means that potentially, you know, the, the history that we've known is not exactly accurate"? Or is it just gonna be another little thing that doesn't really give us any new information and is just a distraction from everything else that's going on in the world right now? I think over time as more research is done, especially with, like, synthetic aperture radar and other technologies, we're really finding some crazy stuff in ancient Egypt. So I think a little bit of both. I think we'll, we'll learn that ancient civilizations were doing a lot more than we thought they were, but I don't think they're still around today monitoring us. I think they would've died off a long time ago. I think the whole disclosure thing with the UFOs, I think it's gonna be a whole lo- a whole load of nothing again. Because for, for about a decade there's been this disclosure thing. It's like, "Oh, everything's gonna be released soon. The government's being forced..." And some files get released, and it doesn't really show anything. It... There's like j- there's... The, the whole UFO thing is this huge, huge thing with so many people involved and trying to, like, promote it and get to the bottom of what's going on, and there's not a shred of evidence anywhere of anything There's nothing concrete in, in all the years of all this UFO stuff. And man, you got all the crazy stuff. Oh, well, we, we've found like seven crashed UFOs. It's like, so y- so what these, these beings can get from like another solar system, potentially another galaxy, all the way here, and what happens? They get here, buy like a, a crate of Stella or something, and then just go joyriding and crash. It just makes no sense. And all these people, absolut- pretty much all of them, I can't think of any that aren't, they're like, "Oh," they'll go on a podcast and it's like, "Oh, and I've, I've got some real in-depth information. I, I can't talk about it now. It'll be in my book that comes out in September. You can pre-order now on Amazon, only $29.99." You know, and it's like there's always a book, and there's always someone making money. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like it's much more likely dimensional than it is space and time in the way that we understand it of someone traveling here or there. It's like I think there's probably different vibration or frequencies and d- mul- multiple universes and... Like it's one of the things that I believe what karma is, is like we all come from the same life source, and everything does come from this divine source. Even inanimate objects is all as part of it as anything else is. And, and you're just wherever your point of experience is. So like if you do something bad to someone, at some point you'll be them experiencing it from your angle. And I also think that's kinda how, um, you know, everything is predetermined but also not predetermined, because every choice has a pathway. It's like a decision tree of decision trees that just goes in every possible direction, like some crazy... like a root of a tree, for example, and you're just choosing the path or whatever else. Um, so I think, you know, i- if, if anything, that's the, the route where some of this stuff makes a bit more sense. And then, you know, there are stories about certain substances and whatnot. People see the same things, go and meet the same beings. There's like a lot of this kinda stuff out there. But it could, again, it's like is that the same experience? Is it because there's no way of describing it, so people go and lean and describe it the same way? There's a, there's a lot in there, and I think it's something we should unpack more in future episodes. Like I, you know, I, I, I feel like there's, there's a lot to be said on a lot of these topics that is quite interesting to our 43 subscribers. There really is. Which i- is, is a good time to mention, folks, uh, like, share. More importantly, subscribe. Hit the notification bell so you never need to miss out. Absolutely. Absolutely. So, um, next story. We're obviously in the midst of our new virus, so hantavirus is the one now. There's a cruise ship. I mean, to be honest, if you're the sort of person who enjoys going on cruises for a holiday, you kind of deserve it anyway. I can't think of anything worse. What, you mean old people? Well, yeah. Well, like, you know, th- yeah, like what, what's it about? I don't get it, you know? Go- going on a, on a floating hotel that you can't leave with lots of the same people. It's- Imagine if on the first day you're like, you know when someone comes into the bar and has a chat with you on the first day and 'cause you're being nice, it's holiday, you have a chat with them, like, you know, Frank from wherever, whatever, and they're li- like,"Oh, yeah, they're a nice old couple." And then you have to like chat to them every day for the next 14 days. Not for me. And you're just stuck there. There's nowhere to hide 'cause you're just on this like floating theme park in the middle of the ocean. I would be hoping for quarantine in that situation. It's like Larry David on steroids where you've spoken to the security guard but it's not the security guard. I mean, I even, I even start going to different shops if I, like the shopkeeper gets to know me too well. K- I, I'm like, "Right, I'm gonna have to change shops." I don't want this person knowing my buying habits. Like I'm ... That's it. I mean, it- They know me too well now. I'm moving on ... well, what's, what's wrong with the, the buying habits? What are you buying? Is it like baby oil and a cucumber every day or what? It's usually when I'm going through one of those phases of regularly drinking beer, actually. Oh, and it's that- And you start to- ... shameful kind of thing. It's like, "Oh, just, just another six cans is it, sir?" Yeah."Yeah, that's, that's all I'm having for t- for, for today.""Okay." And a packet of those, you know- "See, see, see you in two hours, then." Yeah. Yeah."And can I have one of those $1 packs of smokes?" But yeah, no, it's, it's like I, I, I kind of, I ... Don't get me wrong, I like socializing with people, I like meeting new people, but you also want it to be like if you go somewhere and you decide you don't wanna meet that person again, it's not like every time you walk in the, the bar or the pool or wherever it's like, "Oh, look, there's Frank again.""Hey guys, how you doing?" It's like,"What you been doing today?" "Well, I've sitting on this king boat like you have." Do you know what I mean?"Should we get smashed?""Yeah, go on then." Like what- you know, I don't get it. But anyway, um- It's such a strange thing just having the, the journey as the holiday 'cause you go on your cruise then you stop off somewhere for what, like a few hours or sometimes overnight, come back to the boat, set off again Well, I did read a story a, a while ago where there was someone who was, like, old and really needed to go into a nursing home, and they found that it was actually cheaper just to go on a cruise all year than it was to pay for the nursing home. I, I don't know how they managed to do that, but that was quite cool. I can get behind that as a concept. Yeah. You know, I mean, I guess you ... Maybe, maybe I'll be eating my words in 20 years' time. Maybe I will be a P&O gold member, and I'll be P&O-ing my way all around the globe. Who knows? Right? Um, it's possible. Stranger things have happened. You know? Like I, you know, I didn't think I would enjoy running when I was in my 20s. Like, running seemed to only be a thing that I would do if somebody was chasing me- Like the cops ... for example. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like, otherwise, why am I running? Like, um, yeah. Anyway, but it's, it's, uh, yeah, another virus. If you looked at the news, you would think that we are, you know, gonna be close to death pretty soon, and it's gonna be another COVID. But I mean, it's kind of been like this with every possible virus that's come out since COVID, really, and they did used to try it before as well with, like, swine flu, Ebola, this, this, this, this, this. Yeah. It's always, like, a common theme in the news, isn't it? We're all gonna die. Um, we had it recently a- again, didn't we? We had, like, the mpox thing, then there was something else, but I can't remember what, but we talked about it, uh, here a, a while ago. And yeah, I mean, so the headline from The Telegraph was, "Race to find five British passengers who left rat virus cruise early." Dun dun dun. And it's like, yeah, okay. And then see other headlines, "Deadly rat vi-" Yeah, okay, it's, it's pretty bad, and it is, it is really bad, and it, it's tragic in a way that on this cruise ship, I believe it was three people that died from it. So it is serious. However, from, from what I could tell from reading the articles, you can catch it from rats. Mm. It's not an airborne virus. If you, if you go and hang out with one of those infected people, your chances of catching it aren't high. It's not likely to spread. It's not likely to cause a pandemic. But it's, it's one of those things where the media just likes that shock value, and again, it's keeping everyone distracted and in this low Like we were saying before, this low function of consciousness, and it, it does it constantly, and it's, it's almost like on a, on, like, a carousel. So you'll have, uh, Ukraine, Iran Then let's throw in a virus. Then let's throw in climate change. If it's a slow news week, climate change is always there, or how, how we are killing the planet, or j- just a constant never-ending cycle of things to look- Local elections Yeah. This week. Yeah. Yeah, it's... I, I, I read an article in Football 365, which is a terrible-... terrible, terrible news outlet. Top-tier journalism. Um, I, I keep meaning to stop reading it because it's so woke it makes me hurt, but it's also... I can't find anything better to read pointless football news. But they'd written like a 1,500-word article about how Atlético Madrid had sent their team bus from Madrid to London when they played Arsenal, but all of the team actually went by plane. So they just sent an empty bus. Oh, right. And there was this big, like, thing about it, like a big, um, hoo-ha about it, and the guy had written this article, like a 1,500-word article about it, which he probably used AI to generate- ... which probably was like the equivalent of charging a few mobile phones, and then everybody went and read that garbage with his clickbait title- Mm-hmm which again is people's power, right? So how much energy did he waste writing about the energy that was wasted? Now, granted, they shouldn't be sending a bus empty to London for, I don't know for what reason, right? But yeah, again, it's, it's, it's one of those things that comes back around. It's like, "Oh, what can we make people outraged about this week? Oh, this bus." I mean, that's such a, a small one as well. When you think about... If you're gonna talk about that, that kind of thing, y- what about like the World Economic Forum when they meet at Davos and you just get like a load of billionaires and politicians all flying there on private jets to talk about how we're gonna tackle climate change and make us eat bugs? You know? Well, that's the thing now, isn't it? I mean, the whole bug-eating thing. I have a friend out here who grows, um, black soldier flies, and he's started using that as his protein source. Right. Is that... I, I, I've... I don't know how safe that would be. I guess it's okay to eat insects, but- Super safe. Yeah, apparently I don't know if we really evolved to do that. No, I think there's certain things we're probably evolved to eat, and bugs doesn't seem one of them, which I think is-- I don't know, is, is it like a natural revulsion that we have? Like if I see like flies or cockroaches or whatever, I don't think, "Mm, it's pretty good." I think like, "Oh," like,"Kill it." Get it away from me. Yeah. But, but is that just, again, programming? It's like if you think about it, a cockroach is effectively the same as a prawn. They're like the same... The, the prawn is like the cockroach of the sea, basically. Kind of, but a little bit- Like down to like the skin and everything, like the way they move, their, you know- Right it, it's, it's almost like... I can't remember where I read this, but yeah, the prawn- So were the- ... is basically the cockroach- Right ... of the sea. So if it's Christmas dinner around your house this year, it's gonna be cockroach salad, cockroach cocktail. No, I'm not... I should still be able to eat steak. Right. Um, but no, prawns, they are often called the cockroaches of the sea because they scavenge, they're omnivorous diet, and they, they're seabed cleaners, so similar to how cockroaches feel, feed on land debris. They're both anthropods- Mm-hmm ... uh, with their segmented bodies and exoskeletons, and they both have sc- uh, scavenging things, but, uh, they're not related scientifically. But yeah, it's, um, it's interesting. I mean, just one, one slight tangent, but yeah, prawns, apparently if they're not like, uh, de-veined, c- it's, they're like really bad for not just like, um, toxins, but also like huge amount of plastic, you know, 'cause we have so much plastic everywhere now. But that's, uh, 'cause that's like the digestive tract, that's where a lot of it builds up. Uh, so if you can, if you're cooking them yourself, you should probably de-vein them. When you go to a restaurant, a lot of the time they're done. Um- Yeah, you have to self de-vein. Right. Which is not a, a good process. A thumbnail covered in prawn shit while you're trying to eat it. It's like, "Mm, nice." Um, but yeah, where were we anyway? I think we're just about to get to everyone's favorite part of the show, and I believe we've got an extra two in our top this week. Oh, right. Wow. Is it that time already? It is that time already, yeah. Wow. Jesus Christ. So what have we got lined up this week in the temporarily scripted top fives plus two? Well, if I can find it, yeah. So instead of like a, a top five, we have a, a top seven. I thought this was just kind of fun really. So it's the top seven hermetic principles. And is it- Mm-hmm ... ancient wisdom or is it a 1908 rebrand? Um, this kind of followed on a little bit from the last one 'cause we mentioned, uh, Isaac Newton, who was- Basically as much into alchemy as he was into, uh, science and physics. And so while he wouldn't have directly written this book because... Uh, sorry, read this book because it was, uh, written after his times, he would've known about, um, Hermeticism and other kind of esoteric ideas of the time. Uh, so the top seven Hermetic principles, there's only seven, so it kind of has to be that way. Um, it's from a book named The Kybalion, which came out in 1908, and it claims to pass on teachings from Hermes Trismegistus, who is basically a fusion of the Greek god Hermes, and in Egyptian mythology, the god Thoth, who would be the god of writing, knowledge, and cosmic order. And it's a fusion of these things that were blended together, and they became Hermetic philosophy. And so these ideas have basically been around for a long time. Exactly how long, we don't know, but it will be in, in the thousands and thousands of years. Um, but yeah, so this book was put together by mysterious authors known as the Three Initiates. Uh- Mm-hmm ... we have a, an idea now of who it might have been. Uh, but it was kind of repackaged in the early 1900s almost as if like a, I don't know, more of like an Edwardian mindset coach with a mystical rebrand perhaps or maybe it actually is hidden pyramid scrolls. But either way, there's a lot of, a lot of knowledge and wisdom in here. Nice. Right. N- yeah. So the, the first Hermetic principle is mentalism, so that means that the universe is mental, which is - I'm a mentalist. Yeah. No, I like that. I actually used to be a mentalist. I used to do a, a mind reading, uh, show on stage, which is mentalism. Nice. Uh- I've often been described as a mentalist as well. Yeah. Or I think that's what they say anyway. Anyway ... And so what this means is basically that, uh, reality is fundamentally shaped by the mind or consciousness, and so in, in the book, all is mind. And it doesn't mean that you can just think a Ferrari into existence, but it's that perception shapes experience, and consciousness plays a, a central role in reality, like we could see with the placebo effect, et cetera. But I think this is kind of what we were alluding to earlier about visualization and those kinds of concepts. Mm-hmm. That's cool, man. Uh, isn't it funny how things line up like that sometimes? Because obviously that-- this was supposed to be the top five for the episode we couldn't record last week, which would've been on a different topic, so kinda cool. Yeah. Ah, maybe it, it's exactly because, uh, all is mind. Exactly. Uh, the next one is correspondence, which a lot of people know this phrase, "As above, so below." And it's the idea that patterns repeat across different levels of reality, and it's like the small thing reflects the large, or the inner reflects the outer. So if you think of, like, atomic structures that resemble solar systems, your mental state reflecting your environment, how y- yeah, how the, the very minuscule micro things also look like the macro things. When you go, yeah, when you zoom in and out infinitely on anything, it's, it becomes the same. Yeah, crazy. Yeah. It's like, it's almost like, uh, if you wanted to go into simulation theory, it's almost like it's a code- Mm ... baked into- Yeah, like M-Mandelbrot. Yeah. I don't know if you've ever watched any of those. Yeah, which are really, really cool. Uh, the next one is vibration, meaning that everything is in motion. So that's just the thought that everything is constantly moving or vibrating. Nothing, nothing at all in the universe is actually truly still. And that- Mm ... that does, even though this comes from so long ago, it holds up. So if we think of, like, how atoms vibrate and energy's constantly moving, there's nothing that's just stationary. And this also, in Hermeticism ex- extends into thoughts and emotions. Nice. That makes a lot of sense. Really does. Wow, top seven's quite a lot to go through. Right. Polarity. This means everything has opposites, and opposites are actually the extremes of the same thing. Um, so it's like if we think hot and cold are degrees of temperature, they're the opposites, like the bars of a magnet. Love and hate might be emotional extremes. We touched on this as well earlier when we were saying, uh, about how things are related, like excitement and anxiety. Um- Super cool. It is really super cool, and it, it's just- Blowing my mind and it's just seeing everything. Yeah, once you read this book and it explains it a lot more, you start to see everything like that, and it's like, oh, cool. That's why I think someone like Newton, who is so into, uh, alchemy and Hermeticism, et cetera, is- Partially why he would think the way that he did about the universe and things in the universe. And then the next one is rhythm. So everything cycles and just everything moves in cycles and patterns. Nothing's static and everything has like rises and falls. So whether that's seasons, economic cycles, mood and motivation, everything with- Musical culture. Yeah. All kinds of culture when you think what's fashionable, what's not. All of it really. Uh, number six, we have cause and effect, which means nothing happens by chance. Nothing's random because everything has a cause, even if we can't see it. Um- Or indeed have forgotten it. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so that's, it's like, um, like habits having results, decisions have consequences. Um, this one is basically just reality, but it, it sounds a lot more profound when you call it universal law, I guess. Okay. And that brings us to number seven, which is gender. So this is probably where, uh, the free initiates get canceled, but, uh, there is, uh, masculine and feminine principles that exist in everything. So it's not just like the, the opposites that we looked at earlier. It's that everything- Is it like nuts and bolts? A little bit like that in some ways, yeah. That everything has active and receptive forces, and it's like, uh, creation versus expression or receiving versus acting. And so yeah. Giving versus taking. This is it. But if you think about, uh, everything, it could have like the, the more masculine, aggressive side to something, you could have the female more nurturing side to something. And that's- Well, ma- masculine and feminine, just so that we don't get canceled, not male or female, just to- Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, exactly that. Stop trying to get us canceled. Um, yeah, dude, that's awesome. I, um, Hermetic principles, I've just written it down, so I'm- Yeah. It's from- ... I'm gonna go and study ... a book called The Kybalion. Uh, I think it's on YouTube as well. You can find like the audiobook, but it's, it's really cool. There's just so many moments when you listen to it and you just go, "Oh yeah, of course." It's like, it's just a really, really interesting way of looking at things. And I think it, when I read that book, it did kinda change my life in some ways. Just completely started viewing the world differently. Yeah, interesting. And if you guys want Adam to read it to you while you sleep, there's a link in the description for you to book That time for a small fee, uh, plus travel costs $20 for eight hours. Excellent. Well, that brings us to the end of another show. I really enjoyed it this week. Normally I'm fed up and ready to get off the... get off by this time, but- Yeah, same ... this week I, I thoroughly enjoyed it, so hopefully the audience did too. And if you did, don't forget, give us a like, a subscribe, share, tell everybody about Temporally Scripted, and, uh, your check will be in the post. Until next time, Adam, it's been a pleasure. Yeah. See you n- Uh, it has indeed. I also enjoyed this one. All right. See you next time, folks.
