Core themes
Gabe Presented an Alphabet Zodiac Cipher
Gabe presented a new cipher that started the alphabet at the spring equinox and wrapped it around the zodiac. He said the layout produced a birth cycle just under nine months, and he argued that layering familiar standards revealed information hidden in plain sight, which he called steganography. He pointed to the letters G and H as the symbol for Mercury, tied their 7 and 8 to the 78 cards of a tarot deck, and said three times 78 gave 234, which he linked to the axial tilt of the Earth. He suspected Francis Bacon had done something similar.
Mario on Symbolic Studies and Hidden Symbols
Mario described Symbolic Studies as a project that decoded each astrological sign through its glyph and mythology, growing out of art he began illustrating about three years earlier. When asked whether certain groups keep their symbols obscured, Mario answered that they might instead be putting symbols in plain sight while the meaning stayed hidden, and he compared it to how many people wear crosses without understanding them. After someone asked for a professional Mario level graphic of the cipher, Mario agreed to design one, and Chance showed his print catalog near the end.
LC King Found 27 in the Luminaries
LC King argued that the sun, moon and planets were interlinked rather than separate, and that multiples of 27 revealed the connection. He said he shifted the decimal on the lunar cycle and used 108 to land near the synodic month, within roughly 0.2 percent. He added planetary figures to reach 364 days, seven planets and 52 weeks, and said Saturn appeared as the mean of the luminaries. He also questioned whether the year was really 365 days, and described a battery model of the world.
Ophiuchus and the Central Pole Sign
Gabe described his Ophiuchus discovery, saying the letters O, P and Q outlined the serpent bearer, R, S and T marked a resting point between the lunar 18 and solar 19, and T, U and V reduced to 234. He said Ophiuchus rested a foot on the W, the only three syllable letter, and noted that Hebrew tav means foot. He recalled David Matheson suggesting the figure could stand for the higher self. The conversation then compared Ophiuchus to a thirteenth sign at the hub of the zodiac wheel.
Gabe on Yom Kippur and the Kepri Circle
Gabe argued that his cipher encoded the Yom Kippur ritual. He described the Kepri beetle rolling a sphere and said the word scribe came from scarab. He drew a line across the circle for the two goats of equal value, rearranged ABC into cabra for the goat that stayed in the temple, and counted ten stations to the letter Z for the scapegoat. He said the missing pie wedge of the cipher stood for the cliff. Gabe also tied Az to the Hebrew word for goat and to Azazel.
Quotes
“I really can't overstate how useful it is to get the synchromistic look at how these etymological connections in the phonetic Kabbalah connect all the different cults, mystery, traditions, mythologies and religions throughout time and history and demonstrate that it's all the sun, baby.”
“But another interesting thing that I found out recently from my recent guest Topher on the InnerVerse was that biological things that have a hard exterior and soft interior are orgone energy accumulators. So to put that at the point where the sun is at the height of its power seems to have possibly some very interesting significance as well.”
“I'm just so grateful for the three of you for coming together with me on this improvised conversation. I feel like we can just do this every week and keep pushing the river forward. It's amazing.”
“So I just started taking all things that are standards and overlapping them onto one another because that's where information is hidden in plain sight. It's called steganography and it's where codes can be put in the public purview, but if people don't have the key, they can't unlock the code.”
“And so the fact that when you thrice magnify 78, you get the axial tilt of the Earth, and Hermes is said to be holding up that pinnacle, that tower, the eye in the sky that we talked about on Saturday, things have just been coming together so fast I feel like my brain's going to explode.”
“And what is the only letter that stands out when you say the alphabet? All the letters except for one letter, all of them are single syllables. There's only one letter that is three syllables long, W. It stands out like a sore foot.”
“Is there an economy to magic? Do they want to keep it a rare commodity that only they have access to, and if everybody had it, would it somehow cheapen it or lessen its power?”
“So as Chance mentioned, it's called Symbolic Studies. That's my main project right now. And I basically follow each astrological sign and do my own decodes on the signs themselves. And so it's everything from breaking down the symbolism of the glyphs to some of the mythology related to the signs.”
“I also think of the idea that they might just be putting it in our faces all the time too. So it's almost hidden in plain sight sort of thing, how many people wear crosses but how many people understand what the cross means.”
“It's interesting, especially when you're talking about the number like 26 and 27. And that's what I've been sort of focusing on. And what I was really looking for was this sort of connection between the luminaries and how the numbers sort of interlink.”
“There's a bit of a question that I've been looking at, and that's to do with how long is our actual year? And through this sort of little rabbit hole that I've been working down, it's looking more and more like 364 days rather than the 365, which is really, really interesting.”
“I'm looking for the connections between things. I don't want to be in the world that they've given us, which is everything's separated from everything else. It's not how I want to view the world.”

I have used their teas and tinctures on an almost daily basis for years now. Kyle is a great friend of InnerVerse and has appeared on the channel more times than I can count. These products work, not in the allopathic "pharma-medicine" way, but in a terrain-support, consciousness bolstering plant-teacher sort of way.
