The Mystery in the Glitches in the Matrix – Episode 171

by Kurt Robinson on July 31, 2017 in Podcast • 0 Comments

The Story: Slip ups in our universe simulation

When many educated people in developed nations hear about an unusual event, something paranormal, supernatural or just plain weird, will always say “I’m sure there’s a simple, rational explanation.” And for most events, there are simple rational explanations. However, if you examine evidence of weird situations, sooner or later you will find something that you cannot explain.

Redditors on the Glitch in the Matrix subreddit like to share and analyse many such cases, thinking about odd occasions where it seems that someone stepped into another reality, or when time skipped, going forward or backward an hour, when someone dreamt exactly what would happen, or even where a person got caught up in a scenario where they almost certainly would die – only to find themselves instantly transported to a safe place kilometres away, in a phenomenon known as “quantum immortality”.

After reading hundreds of these stories, it would be difficult for even the most hardcore skeptic to say that there’s always “a rational explanation”. It seems that maybe, we don’t live in a sensible, rational universe. Maybe, this universe is more incomprehensible than we imagined, a mysterious place where little miracles happen every day.

Kurt explores these bizarre cases, and even more bizarre cases, in another reality-defying episode of… The Paradise Paradox!

The Story:

Every year in Guadalajara, they hold the Romería festival, and every year the danzantes dance from the Cathedral in the city centre, all the way to the Basílica in Zapopan. It can be tough walking five kilometres, even more so when you’re taking two steps forward and one step back, and tougher still when the construction of a new subway line forces you to take a fifteen kilometre detour.

Aaron had some interesting experiences, preparing his costume, trying to find all the right feathers for an (more or less) authentic native American headdress, and dancing himself into a trance for an intense journey that might end up binding him to the Earth Father Tlaltecuhtli, Our Lady of Guadalupe, or the Virgin of Zapopan.

The Story:

Most children dream of a trip to Disneyland, or visiting Santa at the North Pole, or maybe being locked in a super toy store over night. We are all big kids and we should all be active dreamers. It took me too long to complete my dream of taking the journey to Tulum, Mexico. I had plans to go in 2008 and 2012, but cheap thrills and weak distractions would always somehow get the better of me. Not this time – 2015 is and was the year.

The ‘Ruins of Tulum’ is one of the most visited archaeological sites of Mexico. This Mayan city, is situated on the Yucatan Peninsula overlooking the Caribbean sea, now ticked off my bucket list, and should find a place on yours. Please join me as I invite you to explore new ideas and an alternative view of Tulum. I have no doubt you will share new thoughts on this amazing ancient city. Even with my high expectations, I was still taken by surprise and completely blown away.

One cannot prepare themselves for the intimate experience with this ancient world. The site is beautiful, the climate is unbearably wonderful – very hot, the beaches are magnificent and I didn’t look at my watch – not even once.

In this episode I touch on the spirituality and mention a few cultural practices of the Mayan people. I speak about their beliefs in the earth’s energy, and explore the parallels of morphic resonance, consciousness grids, and the earth grid. The Mayan people built their cities with this intention and purpose of energy communication. They held strong beliefs in keeping a connection to their planet in balance, they also believed that the Yucatan Peninsula was the centre of an energy vortex. Tulum was constructed to represent to the 5th energy chakra, the Vishuddha. The primary connection with the material realm, the speaking of truth and manifestation.

Scientists have later discovered that this area of Mexico has strong electromagnetic fields which is believed to be caused by a meteorite hitting the Yucatan Peninsula roughly 65 million years ago. Furthermore, studies found that specific Mayan cities and structures actually magnify and focus these electromagnetic fields, in particular ‘El Castillo’ (the Castle), which is the principle pyramid of Tulum. There is no doubt in my mind that electromagnetic technology was discovered, developed and utilised by the Mayan people. Where as, today in these apparent modern times we are only just discovering the healing properties for magnet therapies.

Maybe the Mayan people were not so primitive as believed.
