Topic: New Moon

To ground himself outside the Matrix, Wan has restructured his personal calendar based on actual moon cycles rather than the Gregorian months. He plans his activities in segments that align with the new moon, quarter moon, and full moon. He encourages others to find small ways to align their consciousness with the natural world, even while still navigating the necessary structures of the Matrix.

Crow777 discusses his prediction that the unlit portion of a "young" or new moon is actually transparent. He cites historical accounts from the 1800s where observers claimed to see stars or planets through the moon's disc. While he has received images from listeners appearing to show stars shining through the moon, he notes the difficulty of authenticating such footage without personal observation.

Knowles strongly recommends that listeners delete their Facebook accounts, calling it "bad for the soul." Carlwood reflects on the timing of the episode's release relative to the winter solstice and the lunar cycle. He describes his "drunken boxing" approach to cosmic timing and thanks Knowles for the end-of-year overview.

The November 7, 2018, shooting at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks is analyzed through the lens of ritual timing and astrological cycles. Michael Wan highlights the event's proximity to the midterm elections and the transition of Jupiter into Sagittarius, suggesting the occurrence was synchronized with collective emotional peaks and celestial alignments.

The discussion covers the "new moon" phenomenon and reports of stars being visible through the blacked-out lunar disk. Crow777 references Sophia Smallstorm’s work on the sepsis cycle and the idea that the moon generates its own "cool" light rather than reflecting the sun. He walks back his previous "hologram" description of the moon, now suggesting it is a closer, self-luminescent object rather than a rock in space.

The host encourages listeners to film Venus passing behind the New Moon on December 7th to test theories about lunar transparency. He provides updates on the "Higher Side Chats Plus" subscription service, including the development of a dedicated iPhone app and new forum features. The episode concludes with a call for listeners to support the show and participate in "Making the Case" research threads.

The episode concludes with a song about the phases of the moon, covering the transition from a new moon to a waxing crescent and the first quarter. The lyrics touch on solar eclipses, the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and the influence of gravity.
