Core themes
Demonia and the Ark Goddess
Chance introduced the Greek idea of demonia, which he said meant the souls of the dead and not evil spirits, and he stressed that he was entertaining it as an idea rather than claiming it was true. He described the ancients' belief in a holding space for the dead, such as Pandora's box or the ark, until the world was renewed. He tied the notion to Argo, the ark as goddess, boat, and womb, and read Rihanna's name as a link to the queen of heaven, Rhea.
The Super Bowl as Ritual Theater
The hosts spent much of the night reading the Super Bowl as ritual theater. One of the hosts walked through a halftime graphic and argued that the dancers, the navel imagery, a makeup moment, and a white and black color scheme carried hidden symbolism. Chance, who watched with his family, took a page of notes and pointed to an avocado ad about Adam and Eve and an antivirus ad built on the Trojan horse, calling the night an Iliad. He added that he did not necessarily believe any sacrifice was involved, and wondered whether the logos was simply speaking through synchronicity.
Gabe's Enneagram Lens on Events
Gabe applied his Enneagram project to the news and to literature. He said he had matched figures on the world stage to personality types and argued that the presidential lineage followed the types in sequence. He placed Aristophanes as a number four whose comedy pointed toward the fool at number one, and he read the nine day fall in Milton's Paradise Lost as a nod to slothful number nine. Gabe also suggested Milton may have known the Enneagram and tried to scramble it, and he showed a territories map with a 180 degree axis between Arizona and the Ohio area.
Training, Shelter in Place, and HB 1333
One of the hosts read Webster's 1828 definitions of the word train and argued that it described a stratagem of enticement, noting that conspiracy circles watch for training exercises alongside major events. Gordy described a chemical spill near Tucson that triggered a shelter in place alert, and he argued that it looked like practice for future climate lockdowns. Chance reported that his search for HB 1333 turned up a Missouri arson bill. One of the hosts voiced concern that a proposed ministry of truth could chill open questions about history.
Owls, Breath, and Releasing Tension
Gordy shared photos and video of nesting owls and a bobcat encounter, which he described as having shamanic initiation overtones, and he joked about the spiritual two by four. He later led a short breathing and humming exercise, urging listeners to let go of the noise of the news. Chance added a Biofield Tuning pointer, directing listeners to the left shoulder and armpit area as a place where the biofield absorbs the suffering of others, and said a symbolic action can help people move on. He closed by noting strong demand for one on one tunings.
Quotes
“What is important about this idea is that we get this word demon from the Greek demonia, but their idea of it was not that these were evil spirits, somehow like pre-existing in another realm or another dimension, but that this is the souls of the dead.”
“Bad actors with bad intentions, creating these narratives that are highly imaginative but with just a wink and a nudge and subtle suggestion create hysteria, this hypnotic state of lockstep, line dancing, and knowing where the lines are and being fearful of ever crossing them because of some dictate from on high.”
“We know that these ideas will continue and I've said 2023 will be the strangest year I've ever lived through and we will live through it. So again, great minds think alike, the synchronized processes of exploring these ideas in a community as of great value.”
“If we can stay in tune with where we are on the sky clock, then we can feel a sense of, I guess, magical affluence, or the symbolic literacy at least gives us context. So it doesn't seem like it's coming out of nowhere. And we can at least make some sense of what seems like utter pandemonium and chaos.”
“One of the things that the Enneagram has brought forward for me, it is a long story and very hard to convey the train of my thinking. But I've essentially corresponded the characters of the world stage to the personality types. And one thing that was really fascinating is that the presidential lineage actually, sequentially follows along.”
“I think Milton may have known about the Enneagram. He might have known that the Greeks had established it very clearly in Plato's Republic. But I think Milton was actually trying to dismantle it and break it up and make chaos out of it, because the way that he reveals it is disjointed, but still true to some of the signs and symbols of it.”
“Aristophanes is a number four on my Enneagram project. So it's really fascinating that you're bringing that up, and the epiphanies are going to take me a few days to process on that, because I'm going to have to play this back.”
“It got on everybody's phone and freaked everybody out. I had people calling me for all of this. So this is the training for lockdowns and shelter-in-place of climate problems and pollution problems and climate change.”
“On my map, that alignment between those two disasters is a perfect 180 degree line, which, by the way, also relates to the royal stars shifting into the mutable age.”
“I joke about it. How many owls does it take for Gordy to pay attention? Apparently all of them. But we've all got our spiritual two by fours that hit us over the head.”
“I just will direct people to send their attention or, if they have a sonic slider or a weighted tuning fork, or just put your hand on it, to touch in with your left shoulder, left armpit area. This is the part of your biofield that really absorbs negative energy from the world or suffering of other people.”
“We're sharpening each other's swords and we are sitting in each other's peace and magic is talking to us. When we're open and listening, it's speaking back. So quiet everything else and listen. And that's when the truth talks to us.”
“If you feel stuck, if you feel like there's a hard feeling or you feel inadequate, whatever it is, take action. But that action can be symbolic. It can be like, you know, that's the power of the tuning forks, man.”
Kyle and Serena Denton are community herbalists creating wild-crafted and organic plant medicines out of Milwaukee since 2015. 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.
