    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and you’re listening to the fifth in my ongoing series Deconstructing the Great Awakening Map. Like last week, I have a guest joining me as we continue the double Metaphysical sections of the map. As always, I’m truly grateful to be here speaking with you and I hope you’re continuing to enjoy as we take our deep dive on this unusual web artifact. I also wanted to mention that I’m going to take some advice from Andrew Huberman and his latest appearance on Lex Fridman’s podcast, I’m going to keep going with this series until I can do it some sort of justice, giving you a completed series before going back to some interviews I’ve got in the pipeline. I’ve really liked the response over this last month and think I may end up alternating more topics like this with some of the other interview-style podcasts interspersed. Don’t worry, I won’t bite off as much with the next topic. You can always email about interesting topics you’d like me to cover, not to mention great guests, and you can do so using the contact form on our website or you can contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges.

    This episode was fueled by an Awakened Vapes Energize break in-between recordings. We had already been recording for a couple of hours, we lost Chris to the slow fade of an alcohol buzz, but Shawn and I were still going strong, so we recorded for another couple of hours, wrapping up near 2am that night. We covered some fascinating topics, including the first concept of soul volunteers, which was a new one to me. If you’re like me, however, the most interesting topic we cover in this episode is the Sacred Geometry. I hope you look at the pictures that I’ll be adding with this week’s posts, they are much needed in order to appreciate the beauty that you can see in math and numbers. Just realized that might sound weird to some, but if you see can what I’m talking about, then you know how numbers can be beautiful. As a reminder, if you haven’t already seen it yet, you can still find a copy of the High-Res map in our show notes and our website,
    www.AwakenedExchanges.com. Remember, if you go search the online archives, you’ll find a number of images out there as the Map was revised and updated a number of times. And if you’re checking out the Telegram channel, Twitter feed, or Instagram, then you can see the highlights that I’ve made to Map and how I’m grouping these topics together. I’ve already given the disclaimers before, but we’re talking about a lot of conspiracy theories in this series, as well as some religious speculation and subjective experiences, so let’s keep that in mind when we weigh all of these things.

  • Episode 21 - Buddhist Terminology (GAM 4)

    This is the fourth in my series Deconstructing the Great Awakening Map! The next couple of episodes will focus mainly on the two sections that deal with consciousness, meditation, and psychedelics. This one will mostly cover the Buddhist terminology found on the map.

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and you’re listening to the fourth in my series Deconstructing the Great Awakening Map. Unlike the others in this series so far, I will have special guests joining me to talk about this week’s section of the map. As always, I’m truly grateful to be here speaking with you and I hope you’re continuing to enjoy as we take our deep dive on this strange and compelling web artifact. You can always email about other interesting topics and guests, you can use the contact form on our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I’ll keep bringing you the content that you ask for, and am always grateful that you keep asking!

    I’m recording this intro on Monday as I try to get this episode uploaded in time for tomorrow. As suspected, the amount of material I attempted to group together in these two sections was way too much. The TINY font that 5D uses in some of his sections means that once I outline it and cover all of the phrases he uses, it turns into hours and hours of information, and that’s if I just read it to you boringly. I’ve tried to keep things interesting as I read these by myself, give you relevant info as well as some humor and good intentions, but I have to admit that things seemed more entertaining to me with the co-hosts this week. It definitely slowed down actual progress on breaking down the map, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it just as much. I’m including the fully separated and highlighted GAM in our show notes, and this week’s pinned Twitter thread, which, again, is also available on our Telegram channel. On top of seeing how I broke up the entire map, I’ll include a picture showing the two sections that I merged for the Metaphysical sections, so maybe you can make sense of some of my madness.  I’ve already given the disclaimers that we’re talking about a lot of conspiracy theories in this series, and I want to add that we’ll be talking about more religious speculation and subjective experiences in today’s episode, so let’s keep that in mind and give the cultures the respect they deserve. Most of this episode will be focused on the Buddhist terms in this section.

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and you’re listening to the third in my series Deconstructing the Great Awakening Map. I’m grateful that the response to the solo episodes has been better than I expected. We will be getting back to the exchanges here soon. In fact, Nick Hinton himself will be joining us for a special interview. We’ll touch a little on the map there as well, but more on his new book, The Aquarian Singularity as well. You probably know this by now, but I’m truly grateful to be here speaking with you and I hope you continue to enjoy as we take our deep dive on this strange and compelling Great Awakening Map.

    I seem to be using the word grateful a lot lately, and I hope you can bear with that. I’m using mindfulness to look at my life from a perspective of gratitude and reminding myself how lucky I am to be where I am today, as well as for the future I get to be a part of. I truly am grateful that you’re here to join me, to share an experience, in some way, shape, or form. If you haven’t already seen it, you can still find a copy of the High-Res map in our show notes and our website,
    www.AwakenedExchanges.com. Remember, if you go search the online archives, you’ll find a number of images out there as the Map was revised and updated a number of times since it was first released. The one on my website is the one that I’ll be referencing. And if you’re checking out the Telegram channel or Twitter feed, you can see the highlights that I’ve made to Map and how I’m grouping these topics together. Most of today’s episode will clearly be in Conspiracy Theory territory. That said, I do believe in the Multiverse Hypothesis, so who knows what grains of truth may emanate from these strange theories.

    I’ll keep the intro brief again, but I want to mention that I am updating my pinned Twitter threads as well as my Telegram Channel to collect all of the visuals that I’m including with this series. The response was pretty quick these last couple of weeks, so I think people are still enjoying the threads. The link to the Telegram channel is in the show notes, as well as on the website. I hope you engage in the exchange! 

    Last little note before we get to the conspiracy theories, there is a new addition to the Awakened Exchanges podcast, and I’m not sure if you’ll hear her in the background on this episode or not. But if you hear any random noises, it’s likely to be little Shadow. She’ll be 11 weeks here soon and is a bundle of love, so I’m not complaining at all.

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and you’re listening to the second in my series Deconstructing the Great Awakening Map. This is going to be a solo episode, so no real exchange except between you and I. That said, I’m truly grateful to be here speaking with you today as we take a deep dive on this strange and compelling web artifact. 

    I’m very grateful that you seemed to enjoy the last episode on the Map, the response was amazing! This episode, by far, has the most links up to this point, so I hope you stop by and take a look. On this episode, we’ll be focusing on the Great Solar Flash and the Optimal Timeline Reality concepts.  Remember, if you go search the online archives, you’ll find a lot of images out there as the Map was revised a number of times, the one on my website is the one I’ll be referencing. I said this last week, but no matter which version you’re talking about, I don’t believe that the Map was intentionally created to promote hatred and misinformation, but you have to be able to actually look at it with a little Guile. Let’s not focus on deplatforming these ideas, but rather discussing them logically and as deeply as people need to, in order to process the facts and separate them from the possible or fictional. And remember, even Alex Jones has denounced Q-Anon at this point and none of their so-called “predictions,” ever came true. Let’s keep that in mind when we decide how to weigh their conspiracy theories.

    I think I’ll keep the intro brief today, but I want to mention my twitter account and my current pinned thread. The response was pretty quick last time, and I think people are liking the threads. Since I think the visuals are helpful, I’ve decided to collect them on a Telegram Channel in case you want to check them out. I know that Clubhouse is the current craze, but it doesn’t seem like the medium to share this kind of stuff on. You can still find the threads in my twitter feed as well, but I’ll be open for exchanges with all of you via my Telegram Channel. The link is in the show notes, as well as on the website, and I hope to see you there!

    -----

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I want to start this week’s episode with a little corrections corner of my own as well. The new clarification on the Farm Bill means we won’t be getting involved with Delta-8 cartridges. The DEA claims that all commercial D8 is synthetic, and since all synthetically produced cannabinoids fall under DEA jurisdiction,  all Delta-8 processors and sellers are subject to DEA enforcement. Not to worry though, our CBD-Only line at Awakened Vapes is still going strong. This is going to be a different kind of episode, but I’m very grateful to be here speaking with you today as we take a deep dive on something strange.

    This episode is going to be a little different, as it’s just going to be me as I walk through and   deconstruct the
    Great Awakening Map, which has also become known as the QMap, especially as revisions came out from the ever more diehard creator, known as 5D Consciousness on many platforms. His website that had free Hi-Res downloads of the Map has been taken down, but you can still find a copy here in our show notes and on my website, www.AwakenedExchanges.com. If you go search the online archives, you’ll find a number of images out there as the Map was revised and updated a number of times since it was first released. If you go to my website, I've uploaded the Hi-Res version I'm referencing. No matter which version you’re talking about, I don’t believe that the Map was intentionally created to promote hatred and misinformation, but it was certainly used to spread both of those things. As the inauguration has passed and the last of the “Trust the Plan” people have begun to realize that there was no Q-Anon plan, you’ve seen a lot of people get quiet or get deplatformed. Personally, I don’t think that anyone should be deplatformed, but I don’t know what the process should be when no one seems to take the fact checks seriously when they’re done on any platform. I like conspiracy theories, but I don’t think most of them hold much water. That said, I believe that people should be able to do at least cursory research on their own and that we are all responsible for not carelessly spreading false information. The creator of the Map, 5D, has said in interviews that his intention was to help people, and I’m paraphrasing here, “research down the path that led him to his current state of enlightenment.” I think that it’s time we take a look at this Great Awakening Map and do a deep dive into the world of Conspiracy Theory and differentiate it from Conspiracy Reality and just plain Creative Fiction. And before we get into the deep dive, I just want to point out that even Alex Jones has denounced Q-Anon at this point. None of their so-called “predictions,” ever came true, and no proof of their conspiracy theories has ever been produced.

    -----

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m thankful to see that Covid seems to be trending in the right direction this time, and I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that we can get businesses opened up again before it’s too late. If you have any suggestions for topics or guests though, I do listen to the listeners, so please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. 

    I’m not going to get much into politics this week. Personally I’m just happy that things seem to be getting quieter on that front again. Maybe the Capitol Riot was actually a wake-up call that made people realize what we don’t want in this country. Here’s to finding a way that we can come together, hopefully behind a unified Unity 2024, now that we have time to do the concept justice. As for other things this week, I have to at least mention my fascination with Redditors breaking the financial markets. They’ve taken Gamestop, and Dogecoin skyrocketing, and it’s looking like they’re trying to do the same with AMC and a handful of others as well. I would love to see the internet save Gamestop and AMC, all while making some money for themselves and forcing Wall Street shorters to lose. Seems a little poetic that the little guys are starting to learn that we can make some noise and remind the 1% that we all deserve a little consideration as well. Personally, I totally miss going to theaters, but I don’t know if they’re going to come back in full force. Ready Player One level virtual reality could theoretically be coming for real this decade, and that would bring a personal theater to everyone’s headset. It seems inevitable that streaming is the future, but maybe AMC can have a big bang of a decade until we get there. Maybe with all this backing they can actually find a way to pivot into the new virtual market during that decade too, who knows. As for Dogecoin, I would love to see it hit a dollar this year, but I don’t know how likely that is. Doge has a ton of internet support, and the blockchain is based on the same foundation that underlies Litecoin. I’ll be holding mine and seeing what the future brings. And with regulation changes coming this year, I’m definitely starting to sniff around cannabis stocks again to find which companies might actually gain traction through quality and not quantity.

    That actually segues nicely into this week’s interview, Adam Bush, one of the owners of Archive here in Portland. Archive is one of the brands that has made quality over quantity a priority. While their quantity is not lacking either, their focus on good genetics and breeding quality has made them a sought after brand all over the state of Oregon. Archive’s flagship shop here in Portland is now a destination for cannabis enthusiasts from all over. Adam’s enthusiasm is contagious, even when talking about some of the other amazing hash rosin makers in the state. He has a passion for cannabis and a humble attitude that has brought him a long way thus far. I want to thank him for coming onto the exchange and sharing a great conversation with me.

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and welcome to another new episode for 2021! 

    As a setup for this week’s show, I want to talk a little about ESP. I know that it’s easy to say that all psychics are fake, and I believe that the vast majority you see setting up shop are there to milk sad people of their money, but I don’t think that discounts intuition and instinct. I would love to have someone like Russell Targ on the show to talk about his involvement in the Stanford Research Institutes Remote Viewing projects, which later became the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Project Stargate. I think that there are a lot of possibilities locked within human consciousness. We’ve seen that big events, such as 9/11, actually have an effect on random number generators. We’ve seen that people can influence the odds of a 1 or a 0 appearing on one of those random number generators by concentrating on one of the numbers. Measurable effects. But how would you prove something like Remote Viewing? We would of course want 100% accuracy and reproducibility, but we’re not close to getting that. On a metaphysical level, if you look at the Torus Model of the universe, which you can currently see as my pinned thread on Twitter, as of January 23rd, maybe we can discuss how it could be possible though.

    • Let’s first assume that you hold the mathematical and scientific notion that all time is happening now, past, present, and future, the way some physicists are theorizing.
    • Next let's also assume that Einstein was right and E = MC^2. That means that energy, such as the stuff that is flowing while the neurons are firing in our brains that is likely responsible for our consciousness. 
    • Then you look at the Torus Field, check out that thread and imaging a constantly flowing orb of energy that contains all of the universe. All that was, all that is, and all that will be. 
    • Then suppose that our vibration is slowed down enough that we are experiencing time as we are here on Earth. What if, through meditation, or in some cases drugs, we could expand our consciousness to tap into that Torus Field, then projecting our consciousness into another point in time or space. Could that not eventually be a scientifically valid way to look at Remote Viewing?

    As for this week’s show, I want to thank this week’s guest Shawn Shumway for coming back on the exchange! We had been talking about getting another episode recorded for a couple of weeks, and after a couple of synchronistic moments, we decided that it was time to talk about, you probably guessed it, psychic abilities. There was an intensely weedy 250mg edible involved in my recording of this episode, and while I don’t know if it helped my intuition feel any sharper, it sure felt like I was engaged with the conversation on another level. I want to remind people that I know people who can’t handle 5mg, while I regularly consume 1000mg+, so it’s all about your own body and tolerances. If you’re in a legal state and can indulge, just remember to be safe and always start with low quantities. And despite my THC level, I still had no discernable ESP abilities in this episode.

    I’m releasing this episode on the 19th, one day after we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. and one day before we usher Trump out of the White House in exchange for the Biden-Harris Show. I believe that transition day is going to be quieter than the Capitol Riot on the 6th, but the FBI is warning of demonstrations at all 50 state Capitol buildings on Inauguration Day. It’s not a huge jump to think that one of those demonstrations could pop off at a moment's notice, but most people are weary. There were some planned demonstrations this weekend that ended up with zero attendance. After seeing what happened on the 6th at the Capitol, people mostly seem to want to move forward. That said, I don’t think that it’s going to be an easy transition by any means. Nobody is thrilled about Biden and Harris except Biden and Harris’ teams, and that may even be an overstatement in some cases. The democrats do have all three branches of the government for the next two years and there’s a lot of stuff that they would like to accomplish with that. Will any of it look like change for the good to the masses? I don’t know, but I certainly hope that they get their shit together for 2021 and figure out Covid before a mutation gets out of control and we blow the whole thing. I don’t know how I feel about a vaccine for myself, but I know that it’s just necessary at this point. My girlfriend is a healthcare worker, so she’s already had the first round. I just hope that it’s not all for not, or that it ends up being a yearly shot for the foreseeable future. Hell, it could be twice yearly, as UK studies are suggesting about 6 month immunity after getting Covid itself. So, let’s get back to more MLK and less Inauguration Day. Let’s do what we can to forget these divisions and work towards the benefit of all. MLK had a dream, but that dream didn’t end with racial equality, it just started there. He wanted to eradicate poverty and hunger, first in our country, and then all over the world. We have the means, if only we could exert the will. Let’s all be that change.

    As you’re probably tired of hearing my weekly rant, let me give you a little introduction to Alex “Toast” Troester (Tray-ster). Toast graciously invited me into his home for one of my favorite talks thus far. You may hear the adorable Angel and Rue snoring, breathing heavy, or rustling around now and again, not to mention some other roommate associated noises, but I think that I got them mostly minimized. We had a great time and I think it shows in our talk. We start by talking about his journey from cannabis advocate to cannabis entrepreneur with his current company, Beehive Extractions. We also get to explore some of his musical side, and if you’re smart, you’d be sure to stay through the end so you can hear him play an exclusive song, just for you listeners. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with him and I look forward to maybe having him back on the podcast before he leaves the northwest to go be a good son for a while.

    Now here’s a brief rundown of our sponsors. Please visit our sponsors Awakened Vapes (Delta8 Cartridges coming soon!), Genesis Pharms, and the Caramel Corn Company to support this podcast!

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and this is our first real episode of 2021! I don’t have any theme for this month other than a fresh start for the new year, but I hope that it’s starting off better than 2020 ended for most. If you have suggestions for topics or guests, please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope to have a full, diverse, and interesting schedule for all of 2021, so I hope you join us here for the exchange!

    I wanted to at least give a little attention to what happened at the Capitol building in D.C. last week. Wednesday January 6th was the day that congress was set to certify the Electoral College results. Personally, I thought that was going to be plenty of drama for the day, as there were still republicans trying to push the “Stop the Steal” rhetoric and planning on opposing the results, despite months of court cases showing zero evidence, even in Red states. Sadly, the Q-Anon faction is truly sucked into these conspiratorial beliefs that are threatening to lead us to a very different kind of civil war. Despite police insistence that they’d “heard nothing,” related to storming the capitol, social media posts, as well as messages on Pro-Trump message boards contain explicit planning for just such a breach. On December 23rd, Trump tweeted - “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” This is far from the first time that Trump has incited protests during his presidency. Telling the Proud Boys to “Stand By,” during the elections played right into this narrative as well. It’s like Trump was saying “Are you waiting to do something? Here’s your chance!” I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of being looked at as an enemy to the right, just because I think all people should be cared about. I’m not trying to turn this into a communist country. I don’t want Gulags in America; we’re already incarcerating too many people. I don’t know that there is a single way to get through to people that would work for everyone. That said, is it too much to ask that people think things through? Is it too hard to truly do unto others as you would truly have them do unto you? Maybe if we were all present in the moment, we could get through this with our civility intact. I truly hope it’s not too late for that.

    That’s probably enough politics to start the show this week, but I want to thank this week’s guest Crystal White. I’ve only known Crystal for just a few months now, but her bravery and openness should be a beacon of light for others. Crystal is working on a book about her transition from Dave to Crystal, encompassing battles with addiction and mental health before finding a healthier path through life. We talk a bit about plant medicines and the role that cannabis played in eliminating her skin cancer. I suspect that Crystal will have to join us again for some more in depth discussions on different types of mushrooms and their medicinal properties as well. I hope that you find the conversation as enlightening as I did and that you keep coming back for these exchanges.

    Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and this is just going to be another quick little message, even quicker than Christmas Eve. As I’d mentioned last week, I’ve had a couple of cancellations and postponements this month, and as New Year’s got closer and closer, I wasn’t really sure that I’d release an episode at all. I didn’t want to do release an episode without an interview twice in a row, simple as that isn’t much of an “exchange.” I was hoping that this week would get us back on our normal recording and release schedule so we didn’t end up going dark for a week, but alas, no such luck. I know that scheduling guests can be tough, but I apologize that I didn’t have a contingency plan setup for this yet. I have dozens of people that all say they want to get on here and talk, but actually getting them to sit down for an interview has been more difficult than anticipated. Now that that’s all been said, I just wanted you all to know that I’ve decided to take a week or so off to reorganize the podcast a bit, hopefully get in an extra recording or two, and then pick it up strong for the New Year! We’ve been airing on Thursdays, but we might actually change that to earlier in the week going forward. Our next episode will have more information for the upcoming year.

    Before I go, I want to start this year off right by once again thanking everyone who is listening thus far. This really has been an incredible experience, even with the unexpected difficulties of a new endeavor. I definitely appreciate all of you listeners out there bearing with any of these early bumps and I’ll keep doing my best to bring you new episodes each week. If you have suggestions for topics or guests, please email me from our website or contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope to have a full, diverse, and interesting schedule for 2021, so I hope you’re here to join us each and every week. I’m extraordinarily grateful for all of you. 

    Since there is no interview this week, please bear with me as I wrap this up. As Always, I want to thank all of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can. If you have the means and would like to contribute personally, please take a look at our Patreon page where you will get access to exclusive content and deals for our truly dedicated fans! There are already three bonus videos available as I record this and more are on the way. As for our other sponsors, Awakened Vapes was the first of the Awakened Brands, and has been helping you modulate your high with CBD-only, high-terpene vape products since 2019. Our CBD Vape cartridges are available online now, as well as the first of our Merch-Shirts.

    Thank you for listening and we’ll see you back here next week for the last of our great exchanges for this year! Please remember that if you enjoy this podcast, it’ll really help us out if you follow us on Spotify or subscribe to us on YouTube, or wherever else you’re listening. Also, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. I know that every podcast says it, but that’s because it really does spread the word. You can also support us on Patreon, or connect with us on the social media of your choice; we are @AwakenedExchanges on FaceBook, and Instagram, and @AwakenExchanges on Twitter. 

    Thanks again, and have a blessed New Year!
