00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.040
Speaker 1: Hello. This is Stephen Schrembeck,
and I am recording the last bonus episode here.

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.680
Speaker 1: This one's titled Food and Frequency.
This is a lecture-like experience that I got

3
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:16.620
Speaker 1: on the morning of May 3rd, 2026. And
this came amidst a long series of

4
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:21.740
Speaker 1: serious and profound experiences. So
this was a very welcome [chuckles] and very

5
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:26.460
Speaker 1: surprising, uh, experience. I haven't
had very many lecture experiences, but this

6
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:32.420
Speaker 1: one was extremely high-quality
telepathy, meaning it was obvious that I was
talking

7
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.160
Speaker 1: to somebody else, and what they were
saying was very clear. It starts as a dream,

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.000
Speaker 1: and I thought that the information in
here was something I'd never heard before.

9
00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:45.240
Speaker 1: It's very practical in nature, and
it's kind of fun. So enjoy. Now, I'm gonna be

10
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:49.080
Speaker 1: reading from a journal for some of
this, and I'll interject my own thoughts. My own

11
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.980
Speaker 1: handwriting's pretty hard to read, so
if I'm stumbling through it, well, that's why.

12
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:54.660
Speaker 1: All right, here we go.

13
00:00:56.260 --> 00:01:01.360
Speaker 1: I was a bodiless observer in a dream
about a cooking show. Chefs had prepared one

14
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:06.560
Speaker 1: dish after another for a panel of
judges. As it would turn out, the chefs, judges,

15
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:12.340
Speaker 1: and I were all actually students of a
sort on this set, as it was a

16
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.260
Speaker 1: classroom in disguise. A man presents
a dish with some fish and leafy

17
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:23.320
Speaker 1: vegetables. One taster expresses
satisfaction with the contrast between the fish
and

18
00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.300
Speaker 1: the vegetables. And then a Michael
Pollan-like figure interjects. He has-- He's

19
00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:34.620
Speaker 1: bald with liver spots, and he starts
to explain why the contrast is satisfying.

20
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:39.640
Speaker 1: "Look at how different the
environments of the ingredients are." Meaning
the fish

21
00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:43.740
Speaker 1: and the leafy greens came from very
different environments. That's why it's, the

22
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:49.120
Speaker 1: contrast is satisfying. Another
taster, this is the judge on the panel, says

23
00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:53.760
Speaker 1: something about the greens. And then,
again, this figure interjects and says, "Your

24
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:58.180
Speaker 1: brain is desensitizing to the
greens." Meaning, to explain why they didn't
like it.

25
00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:01.980
Speaker 1: So I'm in a dream, right? This is,
this is just happening. It's in a dream.

26
00:02:04.580 --> 00:02:09.180
Speaker 1: Another, uh, judge comments about
something else on the plate. They make a comment

27
00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:13.380
Speaker 1: about gluten. And then, again, the
Michael Pollan-like figure [chuckles]
interjects.

28
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.660
Speaker 1: He's like the host, you know. He's,
like, talking to the audience. He's talking to

29
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.520
Speaker 1: the whole room, right? Every time
somebody will present a dish, they're, like,

30
00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:21.560
Speaker 1: tasting something, the judge says
something, and then this guy starts to come in

31
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:25.340
Speaker 1: with, like, "Oh, I'm gonna layer some
commentary over the top to explain some

32
00:02:25.380 --> 00:02:30.660
Speaker 1: things." So they say, "You need to
see beyond gluten-free. It is not that simple."

33
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:34.340
Speaker 1: And with a flourish, the dream takes
a turn and seems to become much more

34
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.940
Speaker 1: instructive. Uh, so they basically
look right at the camera, and

35
00:02:38.980 --> 00:02:44.860
Speaker 1: [laughs] uh, they're, now they're
talking. So while this--

36
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:45.840
Speaker 1: Here's the exact quote.

37
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:53.140
Speaker 1: And I am seeing, like, intuitive,
like, conceptual, visual, like, literally, like,

38
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:57.440
Speaker 1: watching some grains grow from a seed
in the field, and they're being, like,

39
00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:01.080
Speaker 1: harvested or, like, milled or
whatever. They're going through a distribution

40
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.660
Speaker 1: facility, prepared in a kitchen. I
see this whole, like, life cycle while this guy

41
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:10.000
Speaker 1: is talking this next quote. Right. So
it comes with a, a slideshow, [laughs] a very

42
00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:15.960
Speaker 1: fancy one. Here's the quote. "The
food is trying to give you its entire experience

43
00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:23.040
Speaker 1: at every step of its own experience."
So that's what he says while, while

44
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.120
Speaker 1: I'm watching this grain grow. I'm
like, "Okay." Uh, sorry. Here's the quote. Back
to

45
00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:32.760
Speaker 1: the journal. Now I'm both curious and
waking up. I'm becoming lucid. This person,

46
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:39.040
Speaker 1: uh, so I-- they introduce themself as
Nom, and I quote, "Because it is thematically

47
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:44.400
Speaker 1: appropriate, and they require a
name." I love it so much. The names are clearly
made

48
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:49.340
Speaker 1: up, but I thought it was a beautiful
choice for a name. And they offer to dispense

49
00:03:49.380 --> 00:03:53.540
Speaker 1: with the illusion of a dream and
speak to me directly. I agree. Right. So the
whole

50
00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:58.040
Speaker 1: dream fades now. I'm lucid, and I'm
entering, like, a liminal state. Like, I'm

51
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.540
Speaker 1: starting to wake up. I'm not really
dreaming anymore. We're just talking.

52
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:07.940
Speaker 1: And I have questions, you see. Uh, I
am amused and amazed to be given a lesson on

53
00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:13.320
Speaker 1: food, health, and frequency. Uh, so
it's part metaphysics and, uh, part cooking

54
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.360
Speaker 1: lesson. Uh, so it's very practical.
Um, so that's cool. All right, so I o-

55
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.160
Speaker 1: I ask this question right off the
bat. I'm like, "Oh, hold on a second. I can tell

56
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:26.280
Speaker 1: that this is a lesson. [laughs] I got
some questions for you because you just said

57
00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:31.880
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff to me. So, uh, let
me, let me get this straight." "So the quality

58
00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:36.820
Speaker 1: of its experience determines its
health value?" I'm skeptical. Here's the
response.

59
00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:42.620
Speaker 1: "That affects the frequency, which
determines its health value or detriment."

60
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.680
Speaker 1: All right. So he goes on to explain
that a batch of Oreos could be made with love,

61
00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:53.360
Speaker 1: and that you can tell the difference
when something is made with love, and that

62
00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:58.540
Speaker 1: there are three different ways to
determine, like, the frequency of a food as it

63
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.440
Speaker 1: relates to its health value for you.
And you can do it before, during, or after

64
00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:08.360
Speaker 1: eating something. So you can sense,
uh, whether something is good for

65
00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:13.140
Speaker 1: you before, during, or after eating
it. So the easiest time is after you eating it,

66
00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:16.300
Speaker 1: after you've eaten it. It's literally
just how it makes you feel. That should be

67
00:05:16.340 --> 00:05:19.700
Speaker 1: pretty obvious, right? I think
everyone knows this one, like, "Ugh, I don't
feel

68
00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:23.720
Speaker 1: good after eating that." That's the
easiest. So these are each skills, and there is

69
00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:27.660
Speaker 1: a level of awareness involved, and
there's some practice. Uh, but you can train

70
00:05:27.700 --> 00:05:31.520
Speaker 1: yourself, and then during eating it,
you can notice, "Ooh." That one's a little

71
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.980
Speaker 1: easier. And then the hardest,
generally, is knowing whether food is healthy
before

72
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.380
Speaker 1: you've eaten it. You can just sense
it.

73
00:05:39.940 --> 00:05:45.200
Speaker 1: Okay. Um, so they go on to say that
every ingredient in the dish involved, the

74
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.840
Speaker 1: equipment, everything connected to
each part matters separately. Everything

75
00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:54.900
Speaker 1: is connected. So literally everything
involved in the preparation of this dish

76
00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:59.180
Speaker 1: affects its final frequency. Whether
it was made on a stove that was well-loved or

77
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.180
Speaker 1: made on a stove that's a piece of
crap that somebody yelled at it every day
because

78
00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:06.820
Speaker 1: it never worked correctly. That makes
a difference. It's literally all involved in

79
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:10.700
Speaker 1: it. All right. So this guy's blowing
my mind at this point. I'm in a lesson, but I

80
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.740
Speaker 1: don't even care. Like, I'm less wowed
at this point than [chuckles] receiving a

81
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.680
Speaker 1: telepathic lesson from a stranger.
I'm mostly interested in, like, I've never heard

82
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.880
Speaker 1: this stuff before. What are you
talking about? Like, what makes food healthy or
not?

83
00:06:22.260 --> 00:06:22.800
Speaker 1: Let's talk.

84
00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:26.820
Speaker 1: Okay. So naturally, I'm gonna poke
some holes in this.

85
00:06:28.556 --> 00:06:32.416
Speaker 1: All right, so here's my next
question, question number two. But I could
lovingly

86
00:06:32.476 --> 00:06:36.595
Speaker 1: make a batch of arsenic and feed it
to someone, and it would still kill them. So I

87
00:06:36.616 --> 00:06:41.296
Speaker 1: wanna know, like, okay, so you're
saying that if you l- if the arsenic has a great

88
00:06:41.376 --> 00:06:45.296
Speaker 1: experience while it's being made, and
I give it to somebody, it's still gonna kill

89
00:06:45.316 --> 00:06:50.236
Speaker 1: them. It's still obviously not good
for them. Here's the answer. Frequency is

90
00:06:50.296 --> 00:06:53.876
Speaker 1: contextual. This is the context of
eating.

91
00:06:55.736 --> 00:06:59.296
Speaker 1: Meaning, in some other context, like
cleaning, it could, could be considered very

92
00:06:59.336 --> 00:07:00.156
Speaker 1: high frequency.

93
00:07:02.416 --> 00:07:05.356
Speaker 1: All right, so we have, like, a
little, like, conceptual back and forth without

94
00:07:05.416 --> 00:07:10.796
Speaker 1: words. Um, so that's the answer. I
thought it was interesting, and I'm sort of

95
00:07:10.856 --> 00:07:16.136
Speaker 1: poking more holes in this. It's...
I'm translating to words here. So there's the

96
00:07:16.216 --> 00:07:20.636
Speaker 1: context of having a body, and food
that interferes with the bodily's, the body--

97
00:07:20.816 --> 00:07:25.696
Speaker 1: with bodily functions is not high
frequency in that context. And then he also
points

98
00:07:25.776 --> 00:07:31.456
Speaker 1: out that, as an example, uh, with Wim
Hof, there are no fundamental limits, however,

99
00:07:32.396 --> 00:07:37.696
Speaker 1: but there are practical ones. So
specifically, Wim Hof, like, has injected
pathogens

100
00:07:37.736 --> 00:07:41.776
Speaker 1: into him to suppress the immune
reaction and prevent them from, like, damaging
him

101
00:07:41.856 --> 00:07:46.176
Speaker 1: or hurting him. And he points at Wim
Hof as an example of, you know, even poisons

102
00:07:46.216 --> 00:07:51.116
Speaker 1: can be neutralized if you're skilled
enough. But generally speaking, practically

103
00:07:51.196 --> 00:07:54.316
Speaker 1: speaking, if you're eating poison,
it's gonna hurt you. It doesn't matter how much

104
00:07:54.356 --> 00:07:58.136
Speaker 1: you love the process [chuckles] or
how much, how lovingly it was made. So you can

105
00:07:58.176 --> 00:08:01.936
Speaker 1: think of this as a modifier, right?
If you're taking something that's just

106
00:08:02.676 --> 00:08:06.916
Speaker 1: physically, biologically awful for
you, you're gonna have a real hard time moving

107
00:08:06.956 --> 00:08:10.216
Speaker 1: the needle with love. Doesn't mean it
can't be done. There are no fundamental

108
00:08:10.276 --> 00:08:15.496
Speaker 1: limits. But there are practical ones.
I thought that was a fascinating answer. So

109
00:08:15.536 --> 00:08:21.236
Speaker 1: then I asked my next question. Is
frequency not universal then? And I get

110
00:08:21.396 --> 00:08:26.716
Speaker 1: yes and no simultaneously, at the
same exact time. Like, the words, like they,

111
00:08:27.316 --> 00:08:31.796
Speaker 1: like you say them over the top of
each other, yes, no, at the same time. I've
gotten

112
00:08:31.836 --> 00:08:35.896
Speaker 1: this before in telepathy, and it's
hilarious. Like, I always love this answer. It's

113
00:08:35.936 --> 00:08:41.556
Speaker 1: like a, a yes, but, dot, dot, dot.
[chuckles] All right. So I wanted to know, you--

114
00:08:42.616 --> 00:08:46.716
Speaker 1: basically, this idea of something
having a frequency is always out there. You
know,

115
00:08:47.256 --> 00:08:51.676
Speaker 1: people treat it as a good/bad
spectrum. This is not exactly correct, but if
you were

116
00:08:51.696 --> 00:08:55.296
Speaker 1: to oversimplify it, that would be one
way of looking for it. So I wanna know about

117
00:08:55.356 --> 00:08:59.596
Speaker 1: this term. I'm asking is it... Okay,
so is something, can something be universally

118
00:08:59.636 --> 00:09:04.916
Speaker 1: high or low frequency? And they
answer yes, no at the same time. And they say,
this

119
00:09:04.976 --> 00:09:10.796
Speaker 1: is a quote, "It is always
contextual." And then they, they point to a
story where I

120
00:09:10.976 --> 00:09:16.976
Speaker 1: hit my sister before. Okay. Here's
the quote. "You hit your sister, yet you love

121
00:09:17.036 --> 00:09:20.656
Speaker 1: your sister." [chuckles] And I
respond with, "Gee, thanks for this very
personal

122
00:09:20.716 --> 00:09:26.536
Speaker 1: example." And they just smile at me.
[chuckles] And here's the next. But are you

123
00:09:26.596 --> 00:09:31.956
Speaker 1: high frequency? And I answer, after a
little hesitation, "Yes." And then they nod

124
00:09:32.016 --> 00:09:37.536
Speaker 1: yes. [chuckles] And then I say, "No,"
and then yes. But yes overall?

125
00:09:39.776 --> 00:09:45.396
Speaker 1: And then I ask, "So is frequency like
benevolence?" Here's the exact quote.

126
00:09:46.856 --> 00:09:52.276
Speaker 1: "In the simplest terms, yes. But it
is not only that. Relevant to the

127
00:09:52.356 --> 00:09:58.276
Speaker 1: context," and it's said with a very
knowing smile, "of this conversation, that is

128
00:09:58.356 --> 00:10:03.416
Speaker 1: true." But they're not willing to, to
give a universal absolute answer. But they

129
00:10:03.476 --> 00:10:07.796
Speaker 1: just say that, yes, relevant to the
context of this food and frequency conversation,

130
00:10:08.036 --> 00:10:12.536
Speaker 1: yes, you can consider frequency like
a scale of benevolence, but it is not that

131
00:10:12.576 --> 00:10:18.536
Speaker 1: simple. And then they go on to say,
"It's whether it is good within

132
00:10:18.596 --> 00:10:24.056
Speaker 1: that context." That is what frequency
is. Within a specific context, is it good?

133
00:10:24.776 --> 00:10:29.176
Speaker 1: That is high frequency. That's it.
There you go. There's a definition for the term.

134
00:10:29.656 --> 00:10:33.316
Speaker 1: I like that one 'cause I'd never
heard that one before. It fits.

135
00:10:35.316 --> 00:10:40.396
Speaker 1: And then I'm given an intuitive,
completely intuitive understanding that a
universal

136
00:10:40.456 --> 00:10:45.176
Speaker 1: frequency is simply the frequency at
every context. So this is, like, from every

137
00:10:45.216 --> 00:10:50.575
Speaker 1: perspective. And you could use that
as a measure, as one way to measure,

138
00:10:51.496 --> 00:10:52.376
Speaker 1: uh, the net good

139
00:10:54.256 --> 00:10:58.816
Speaker 1: of one... Oh, my gosh, cat.
[chuckles] Sorry, cat in my lap.

140
00:11:01.016 --> 00:11:06.616
Speaker 1: You could use that as a measure of
one way of determining the net good to the

141
00:11:06.656 --> 00:11:10.796
Speaker 1: entire system. So when we say high
frequency, we generally mean the overall

142
00:11:10.896 --> 00:11:15.516
Speaker 1: universal set of contexts. This is a
shorthand. So if you don't supply a context,

143
00:11:15.576 --> 00:11:20.236
Speaker 1: it's understood that you mean, is
this good for everybody and everything? Then you

144
00:11:20.256 --> 00:11:24.476
Speaker 1: could say that would be the universal
measure of frequency. I thought that this was

145
00:11:24.496 --> 00:11:29.196
Speaker 1: really cool. That makes kinda sense.
That makes sense to me. But that's one way of

146
00:11:29.236 --> 00:11:33.956
Speaker 1: doing it, right? The net good. But of
course, you could be plus 100 to somebody and

147
00:11:34.016 --> 00:11:38.736
Speaker 1: minus 50 to another, and the person
who got minus 50 might not see it as a net good,

148
00:11:38.836 --> 00:11:39.616
Speaker 1: even though it was.

149
00:11:44.496 --> 00:11:49.396
Speaker 1: Okay. Then there was a discussion
about whether one could make food healthy. You

150
00:11:49.436 --> 00:11:53.616
Speaker 1: know, wasn't unhealthy, or wasn't
healthy, and then you made it healthy. Or it was

151
00:11:53.676 --> 00:11:59.116
Speaker 1: less healthy, and you made it more
healthy. Nam told me to look up for my answer.
I,

152
00:11:59.176 --> 00:12:03.356
Speaker 1: so I was a little confused by that.
And then I took this to mean, like, blessing the

153
00:12:03.436 --> 00:12:08.836
Speaker 1: food to directly affect its
frequency. Yes, was the answer. Again, there are
limits.

154
00:12:09.356 --> 00:12:14.556
Speaker 1: It helps. Uh, and then [chuckles] I
was given, like, the intuitive hint, important,

155
00:12:14.776 --> 00:12:18.916
Speaker 1: do not harm others by misleading them
into believing, basically, that you can turn

156
00:12:18.976 --> 00:12:23.256
Speaker 1: something bad for you into something
good for you. Practically speaking, that's not

157
00:12:23.316 --> 00:12:27.596
Speaker 1: so easy to do. It's a, don't think
that you can just eat complete trash and,
because

158
00:12:27.656 --> 00:12:31.476
Speaker 1: you, you said, "Oh, this is healthy
for me now," it is. It's not that simple. You

159
00:12:31.516 --> 00:12:35.820
Speaker 1: could get to that level. All right,
so then I say to- Praying over your food,

160
00:12:35.880 --> 00:12:40.380
Speaker 1: therefore, is not completely useless.
And their response, direct quote, "Not at

161
00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:46.180
Speaker 1: all," and a smile. [laughs] Then I
ask another question. Said, "Does feeling

162
00:12:46.380 --> 00:12:48.520
Speaker 1: guilty change the food's health
value?"

163
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.840
Speaker 1: Quote, "In a sense, but by a
different mechanism." And I got the sense that
this was

164
00:12:54.880 --> 00:13:00.260
Speaker 1: a different lesson, but it was
related to this. And I quote, "Suffice to say,
you

165
00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:05.260
Speaker 1: are affecting, affecting yourself
more than the food in this case. So you're

166
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:10.860
Speaker 1: directly affecting your own body and
its ability to digest fully this food, possibly

167
00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.160
Speaker 1: among other changes."

168
00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:19.780
Speaker 1: So at this point, I pause. Um, so I'd
been going through this whole notes and

169
00:13:21.020 --> 00:13:24.580
Speaker 1: making sure I understood the things
that I'd said, and I got the quote, "You

170
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:29.400
Speaker 1: understand," followed by a sort of
confident feeling, a simple assertion. So it

171
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.900
Speaker 1: stopped sort of fussing over getting
the exact words right. You get it. [laughs]

172
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.820
Speaker 1: Time to move on. You get it. You get
the idea. Let's go. And I said, "Thank you for

173
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:42.800
Speaker 1: the lesson," and that I would pass it
on. So here I am, keeping a promise.

174
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:49.660
Speaker 1: Uh, and then they said, "I know." And
then there's a knowing and warm smile.

175
00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:54.460
Speaker 1: "Thanks for your work." And I said,
"Same. Bye."

176
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:59.820
Speaker 1: [laughs] And there's one more
interaction. I wrote down,

177
00:13:59.900 --> 00:14:05.380
Speaker 1: [laughs] "This conversation requires
cookies," and then I ate two of them.

178
00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:11.700
Speaker 1: And Nom replies, "They were
gluten-free. How do you feel?" And I wrote, I
wrote down

179
00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:17.200
Speaker 1: the word, "Eh." [laughs] And there is
a knowing smile, followed by the

180
00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:22.760
Speaker 1: indication to, "Well, maybe you
should pay attention to that." And this was
clearly

181
00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:26.460
Speaker 1: a joke. I didn't even realize they
were still paying attention, I'm sure.

182
00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:31.700
Speaker 1: [laughs] "Yeah, you ate those
cookies. How do you feel? Oh, they're
gluten-free.

183
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:36.620
Speaker 1: Hmm, and you don't feel good. That's
interesting. Guess there's more to it." Um, and

184
00:14:36.660 --> 00:14:41.320
Speaker 1: that was it. That was the end of the
entire interaction. And I thought that was so

185
00:14:41.380 --> 00:14:46.520
Speaker 1: fun. Those are some pretty weird
ideas. I'd never heard those before. I
definitely

186
00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:52.180
Speaker 1: never thought about a food being
healthy as to based on how its experience was.
What

187
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:56.180
Speaker 1: was the quality of its own
experience, and that it's giving you that
quality

188
00:14:56.220 --> 00:15:01.300
Speaker 1: directly. It's imparting that on you.
Uh, so if it was grown with love and, uh,

189
00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:06.100
Speaker 1: tender care and, like, it was well
cared for. I mean, a lot of these things
directly

190
00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:12.160
Speaker 1: correlate with more obvious facts,
like if a factory farmed animal was very sick
and

191
00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:17.360
Speaker 1: tortured and stressed out, chances
are that food is not very healthy for you. Same

192
00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:22.360
Speaker 1: with, you know, a whole bunch of,
like, uh, food that has been processed or sat

193
00:15:22.400 --> 00:15:26.160
Speaker 1: around stale. And I never considered
that a lot of the reason it might be unhealthy

194
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.280
Speaker 1: is not because it was old or because
of pesticides or because of runoff or whatever

195
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.280
Speaker 1: was happening, pollution,

196
00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:39.140
Speaker 1: uh, or because of contaminants, but
because its own experience was bad and all the

197
00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:42.680
Speaker 1: things it was connected to had a bad
experience. And if you follow that thread, it

198
00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:47.380
Speaker 1: is interesting. It's still saying the
same thing. It includes a model of, well,

199
00:15:48.040 --> 00:15:52.900
Speaker 1: [laughs] you know, it was infected
with this fungi, and so that's not good for you.

200
00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:59.400
Speaker 1: Well, that could still be true, but
it was also not good for you because this grain

201
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.240
Speaker 1: didn't have a great experience
because it was infected with fungi. I thought
that

202
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:07.880
Speaker 1: that was very fascinating, and it
opens up the avenues of being able to affect the

203
00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:12.580
Speaker 1: quality of your food and thus your
health value in other ways. I think everyone can

204
00:16:12.640 --> 00:16:17.940
Speaker 1: attest that for some reason, the same
meal made at a restaurant is often less

205
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.780
Speaker 1: satisfying and it feels less healthy
than a home-cooked meal. You can make pretty

206
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:28.360
Speaker 1: crappy food that is made at love
with, you know, at home, with love at home, uh,
and

207
00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:32.960
Speaker 1: then served, you know, with care. And
for some reason, that does seem to make a big

208
00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:36.860
Speaker 1: difference, and I think that this
model helps to explain why that might be. I

209
00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:41.180
Speaker 1: thought they were very cool ideas,
and I'd never heard frequency described in this,

210
00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:47.360
Speaker 1: uh, [laughs] in this way before, and
that it's all contextual. And I thought that

211
00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:52.799
Speaker 1: was fascinating too. So I hope that
you found this interesting. Thank you all very

212
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.000
Speaker 1: much for listening. This is the very
last surprise episode.

213
00:16:58.540 --> 00:16:59.080
Speaker 1: See you around.
