It's said that in order to awaken to our full potential,

we must be willing to see the ways that information is being suppressed or discredited.

And nowhere is this manipulation more common than in medicine.

Western medicine – albeit technologically advanced -

treats the symptoms of illness

with expensive pharmaceutical formulas

and patented machinery,

which reaps billions of dollars each year for those in the industry.

There are many effective alternative options, however,

for addressing illness...

but in the last century, western medicine has effectively swept them under the rug.

Among the most commonly overlooked options

is a uniquely effective, non-invasive therapy

that was created by a doctor named Wilhelm Reich.

Using simple materials,

Reich's healing invention tapped into the life energy that ancient modalities have spoken of for centuries

and his therapy yielded remarkable results.

What more, anyone could duplicate it at home.

But if you search for evidence of its efficacy,

you may have to dig deep to get past the character assassination of its founder,

which many people believe was the dark result of Reich discovering something

that could completely change our understanding of health and disease.

Join the Universe Inside You,

create a new reality, as we go deeper into understanding

Wilhelm Reich's simple technology

for cultivating Orgone energy.

(intro)

If you research the name Wilhelm Reich,

you'll find more accusation of fraud than appreciation.

While there's no question that he pushed against the grain with his controversial ideas,

early on, Reich earned great respect as he paved his way through the field of mental and physical health.

Wilhelm Reich was born in 1897 in Austria,

and became a very well educated, prominent psychoanalyst in Vienna.

He traveled to numerous countries for his life work

and wrote several influential books.

Like his predecessor, Sigmund Freud,

he became fascinated with the libido,

which is "the energy of the sexual drive as a component of life instinct."

When he was 30, Reich witnessed a violent revolt in Vienna that left many innocent people dead.

It became a game changer for him,

as he expressed disgust with what he called "the social noxiousness of views and institutions."

He observed that psychic illness was linked to the "irrationalism of social and political mores,"

adding that "Love, work, and knowledge" should govern our lives – not dogmas.

Reich believed neurosis was rooted in sexual and socio-economic repression.

He observed that health and pleasure

are the movement of biological energy

towards the periphery of an organism;

while anxiety is the retraction of this energy towards our center.

He sought to treat neurosis

by reversing the flow of energy outward,

including by means of healthy sexual release.

Because he promoted the availability of contraceptives

and when necessary, divorce,

he was later credited with originating

"The Sexual Revolution" of that era – the title of a book he published in 1936.

In order to escape persecution by the Nazis,

Reich immigrated to the US in 1939,

with hopes of fulfilling his own American dream.

Sadly, this notable immigrant experienced an American nightmare.

Though his work had always been held in high esteem,

he was sadistically professionally destroyed,

just as he attempted to share new healing methods with the world.

What happened?

Could he have really just cracked?

Or, might his ideas have presented a threat to the existing medical industry?

Dissatisfied with the headiness and what he called

"contrived foothold of scientific theories",

Reich chose to focus on the biophysical aspects of psychological conditions.

Through his research, he discovered that people with unresolved negative emotions

would hold more rigidity in their muscles,

blocking the natural flow of energy through the body.

He referred to this tension as "muscular armor"

and noted that firm pressure of his thumb

or deep massage into a rigid muscle

would elicit a strong emotional response

accompanied by physical pain

that then appeared to stimulate the memory

which initially created the tension.

The more repressed the mind, the more stuck the body.

As energy was released,

ease and even pleasure were restored to the patient…

along with an involuntary pelvic thrusting reflex that he called the "orgasm reflex",

which was attributed to many responses

beyond an actual orgasm.

The second thing Reich discovered came from observing a dying plant in water under a microscope.

As the life force faded,

he witnessed luminescent blue "bubbles" departing from the plant

and then, as if by magic,

coming together again separately

to form a new protozoa - a new living organism.

He called this glow, BIOME

and concluded that if energy is not lost,

but simply transformed at death,

it must exist everywhere - always.

He was able to see and measure biome energy,

which is the luminescence in this photograph taken on the Moon.

Though it's been dismissed as a trick of light,

the glow of life energy is unmistakable.

To put it simply:

Wilhelm Reich rediscovered what shamans in ancient healing modalities have known for centuries:

There is an energetic life force in the Universe…

an etheric substance

that is the essence of every living thing and non-living thing.

In China, it's known as "Qi (Ch'i)",

in India as "Prana",

in Greece as "Aether",

in Polynesia as "Mana"...

the list goes on...

Drawing a line between this self-organizing force

and the biological energy that was released from muscles of his patients,

Reich believed this life force

to be the source of life and procreation

and he decided to name it Orgone.

Reich was trained in western medicine.

But for thousands of years,

healers and shamans of many cultures have been cultivating this invisible energy

in order to restore health and heal dis-ease.

Among these ancient methods

are acupuncture,

Reiki,

Qigong,

reflexology,

and chakra clearing...

all sharing a consistent principle:

Our biology is governed by invisible energy meridians,

and illness occurs when areas stagnate in the body.

Rather than treat the symptoms of illness,

as western medicine does,

these modalities focus on opening the flow of this energy.

Reich was able to detect and measure the existence of orgone with a simple device,

as described in his book, "The Cancer Biopathy".

This device was an induction coil, in a series of metal plates with a light bulb in between them.

Whenever an orgone field approached the meter,

the light would actually turn on.

For anyone seeking something like this today,

an "Experimental Life Energy Meter"

is not unlike a battery reader,

and can measure the energy in people, animals, plants, even food.

As Reich studied orgone,

he noted that there is – 'Positive Orgone Energy' (POE),

which was organized, structured, and life-giving,

and 'Deadly Orgone Energy' (DOE),

which was anti biological – stagnant energy that would lead to decay and entropy.

He said the accumulation of DOE, combined with lack of POE, is what created dis-ease.

Seeing how negative energy

disrupts the flow of life through the body,

Reich devised an invention

that would direct the flow of life orgone into a patient.

He called it the Orgone Accumulator.

Reich's invention was designed to concentrate positive energy around and into a human being.

It was based on two principles:

Organic material - such as wool and fiberglass

attract and hold Orgone energy;

and Inorganic material - such as metal –

attracts and then immediately repels energy

in all directions.

The orgone accumulator was a box-like enclosure,

lined on the inside with metal,

and then alternately lined with an organic material,

repeating for any number of layers.

The more layers, the higher the concentration of energy inside the box.

Energy by the organic layers

was directed inward by the metal layers.

Any energy reflected outward by the metal layers,

was reabsorbed by the organic material

and redirected into the box,

causing orgone to accumulate inside.

Patients would simply sit there,

allowing energy to restore their health.

As Hippocrates pointed out:

"Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease."

For the same reason a paper cut or bruise heals itself,

the Orgone Accumulator simply accelerates the process.

Naturally, sitting in a box as means of healing sounds a little hokey.

But the difference in the energy field created by the device can be verified two ways:

by comparing the temperature;

or, the electroscopic discharge rate inside the box vs. outside of it.

Reich started with plants, noting that they grew much faster.

Then he introduced patients,

who would sit inside for 20-30 minutes

while ambient orgone energy was assimilated through the skin and lungs.

Reich observed under a microscope

that red blood cells would begin to emit a blue glow at their fringe.

The result was remarkable:

Patients reported a warmth, relaxation,

and sometimes a prickliness.

The skin would flush and sweat with the feel of a "soft glow".

Reich noted that a multitude of illnesses healed more quickly,

or were even healed entirely

as result of time spent in the accumulator.

These conditions included:

digestive issues, injuries, bug stings, burns, muscle or joint aches, impotence,

and even more challenging conditions like cancer.

Another benefit Reich noted

was the change of attitude.

His patients expressed more joy, happiness and positivity following a treatment.

The accumulator appeared to release "stuck" negative emotions,

and to replace them with positive ones.

He did find one danger however,

using an orgone accumulator near sources of DOR (such as nuclear power plants, radio towers, or the like)

has the potential of harming anyone receiving treatment inside it,

so geographical location is an important factor to consider.

But over his years of research,

hundreds of people were treated for illnesses with his orgone accumulator.

Overall improvement in their emotional well being

and body function was astonishingly consistent.

Sadly, Reich's celebration was short-lived.

In the 50's,

he was first singled out by the US government for being a communist,

though it was eventually determined in 1957,

he was not guilty of subversive activity.

Just before he was about to go public with his research and new product, however,

the FDA suddenly stepped in,

seizing all of his product and convicting him of fraud.

Wilhelm Reich was thrown in prison

and the FDA not only confiscated his equipment,

they completely destroyed it.

Just days before he was up for parole from prison,

Reich died of heart failure.

But there was suspicion

that his death may have been foul play.

Though it was published Reich was a fraud,

those who knew him argue otherwise.

It was known, for example,

that he gave public demonstrations

to prove the effectiveness of his technology,

and he did not request payment when treating patients in the accumulator.

Many believe he was maligned not because his technology was phony,

but because it was incredibly effective

and it opened doors to health that threatened the existing medical industry.

Fast forward to 1986:

scientists at the University of Marburg in Germany,

conducted a blind study

to test on the credibility of the Orgone Accumulator.

And they concluded:

the orgone energy accumulator device,

conceived by Reich,

may have a significant effect on the human organism.

Reich had left instructions

that his unpublished papers

be stored and sealed away for 50 years after his death.

In 2007 they were unsealed

and in 2015,

Harvard University Press published

that the dominant narrative of Reich

as a "pseudo-scientist" is incorrect...

that his true story

is "much more complex and interesting"…

Reich's concept of life energy evolved when Russian scientist Nikolai Kozyrev

proved that unseen energies are all around us

and his work lead to torsion field science in quantum physics.

Since then,

thousands of Ph.D.-level researchers

spanning multiple generations

have continued Kozyrev and Reich's pioneering work,

slowly forcing mainstream western science

to finally, "officially recognize" the concept

of a universal, unseen energy medium.

They call "dark matter," "vacuum flux" or "zero-point energy," depending on who you ask.

These are all essentially describing

what Reich called "orgone".

In recent years,

the layering concept for orgone

was reinvented in small resin objects

which would contain both materials - organic and inorganic.

It was also discovered that if you add a crystal into the resin of these devices,

the stability of the quartz transmutes the negative charge into a positive one.

Also, the resin shrinks during the curing process,

permanently squeezing the quartz crystal inside,

which creates a piezoelectric effect

and this electrically polarizes the quartz,

making the orgonite even more effective.

It becomes a self-driven, continuously-operating,

highly efficient negative to positive energy transmutation factory.

When orgonite is within range

of any source of negative energy -

emotional, physical, or chemical -

it's said it will efficiently and continuously transform it

into positive energy,

and the harmful energy is defenseless

against the effect.

Now, a growing number of people are using it

to combat the electromagnetic frequencies being emitted 24-7 from cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi,

and smart grids – just to name a few.

The exponential increase of EMFs

are said to blanket our landscape

like 'electromagnetic -smog'.

This change in the biological frequency of the Earth

over the last 20 years

is said to effect us all on a cellular level.

Though we may not be aware of the additional stress

until we're far away from it and surrounded only by Mother Earth and orgone.

There is even an internet led movement called "The Orgonite Gifting Movement",

where people bury orgonite devices near cell phone towers to mitigate harmful effects.

Orgonite devices are most frequently used for the effects of electronic pollution -

stress, depression, headaches, insomnia, and brain fog.

Like the accumulator, they are said to: turn negative energy into positive energy,

to purify the atmosphere,

to detoxify water,

to help plants grow better, repel pests,

to disarm and repel predators,

and to inspire a pleasant demeanor and a balanced happier mood,

to remedy insomnia and nightmares, and best of all,

to awaken your innate psychic senses.

We can't tell you for sure whether or not orgone therapy,

or orgonite are effective.

Because energy medicine is not clearly measurable,

most doctors dismiss it as hogwash.

But it's clear, as long as you're away from negative energy sources,

there is certainly no harm done in trying them out.

Skeptics may say these stories are just the result of the placebo effect.

Others may see orgone as the thread of connection with the Divine.

It is curious that a healing technology would be so maliciously discredited

which at its best, is miraculous...

and at its worst - completely harmless.

Maybe, Wilhelm Reich was crazy…

or, maybe this highly educated doctor

simply posed a threat to the institutions he detested in western medicine.

Trump Cowers To Pelosi After She CANCELS His State Of The Union Address - Duration: 5:13.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump excepted Nancy Pelosi's invitation to deliver his State of

the Union address and a Nancy Pelosi then had to issue a statement saying, well, hold

up, man, did you not see my previous letter saying we need to postpone this thing because

the government shut down.

Donald trump then said, yeah, I saw it, but whatever you invited me, I'm accepting it.

So then Nancy Pelosi was forced to officially resend Donald Trump's invitation to deliver

his State of the Union address in front of Congress and in front of the American public.

Donald trump will not be giving his State of the Union address, at least not this month,

probably, maybe not even this year, because he cannot deliver an official state of the

Union address without a formal invitation from the speaker of the house, which is Democrat,

Nancy Pelosi.

And as long as Nancy Pelosi withholds that invitation, there is nothing that Donald Trump

can do.

Now, at first, after she rescinded the invitation and said, well, then this isn't going to happen.

Donald trump and the White House, uh, was rumor that they were looking for other venues.

Maybe they're going to go do it in the Senate as Rand Paul, I believe it was, uh, had suggested

maybe they'll do it from the Oval Office.

Maybe he'll do it out in the Midwest, right?

Wouldn't that be a real thing?

Uh, but then none of that happened.

Trump said, we're not looking at other venues.

Nancy's rescinded my invitation so I will not be delivering the State of the Union.

The master negotiator, the dealmaker, the art of the deal, bowed down to Nancy Pelosi

and said, thank you ms Dot Pelosi.

You win this round.

There is nothing I can do.

How does that feel?

Republicans honestly tell me.

I wanna know.

I wanna know how it feels to think that Donald Trump is the greatest deal maker in the history

of deals.

Only to have him realize that he is not all powerful.

He is not omnipotent, and he is not above the law.

In this particular instance, he has to obey the rules.

He has to do with Nancy Pelosi said he killed or could not do.

And he didn't even bother trying to find another way out of it.

And you know why?

Because Donald trump doesn't care about the state of the Union address.

He sure he likes to be on TV.

He likes to hear people clapping, but he can go and do that anywhere and he knows that

so he is not going to continue fighting this fight.

One because he knows he can't win.

And two, because it's not something he actually wanted to do.

Now, this is not necessarily without precedent.

Sure.

They've never.

The House of Representatives have never in the history of this country, we're sending

an invitation to deliver state of the Union.

That is something that is unique.

However, not giving a televised State of the Union or postponing a state of the union to

something that's happened before.

Now in the past, I'd mentioned that John Bayner did it in 2011 to Barack Obama.

But I do have to say that I was wrong about that.

It was a jobs speech that Obama wanted to give, that John Bayner postponed a.

So it was not the state of the union.

So my apologies on that.

However, Ronald Reagan postponed his own state of the Union address in 1986.

Following the challenger disaster, Jimmy Carter decided to just give his last state of the

Union address in writing.

He didn't even want to go on TV.

He said, here, here's the speech, do what you want with it, because I don't have to

do it in front of a live audience, so yeah, presidents in the past have been like, sure,

whatever.

I'll delay it.

I'll hand it to you in writing or whatever.

There's bigger things happening in the world, so to act like, oh my God, we're not getting

a state of the union.

This is.

This is crazy.

It's not crazy.

They don't have to do it.

They don't have to do it every year.

The rule only states that the president will periodically submit a state of the Union address

Yo report essentially to Congress.

That's it.

They, again, as I've said in the past, they could request it once a week.

He could decline it, they could request it every six months.

They could request it every two years.

They can do whatever the hell they want to do with it, and trump understands that now,

or at least his advisors have told him that there is nothing you can do to win this fight.

So the best thing you can do is back down and probably go start another fight with somebody

else that you might be able to win because you damn sure, as evidenced by the government,

shut down and now the state of the union, you damn sure not going to win a fight against

Nancy Pelosi.

Here's Why I'm NOT a Libertarian - Duration: 10:56.

"I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Libertarians]

in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough."

- Christopher Hitchens.

I'm fairly certain that a fair proportion of you, my subscribers, consider yourself

libertarian, and so with this in mind, I invite you to reply to what I have to say on this

topic below, in the comments.

If you think my following reasons are insufficient, let me know, as I appreciate that I might

just be missing something, and if I am, I want to know it.

Anyhow, to explain why I'm not a libertarian, it stands to reason that I begin by describing

what exactly libertarianism is, right?

And so, here's an attempt to steelman it.

Likewise to all political philosophies, "libertarianism" represents a wide array of movements and beliefs,

but all are predicted on the core principle of liberty.

Now what exactly liberty means, depends on the libertarian, as traditional libertarians

sought to abolish capitalism and private property, while contemporary libertarians advocate laissez-faire

capitalism and strong private property rights, but a fair summation of all libertarians is

that they seek maximum freedom of the individual and minimal authority of government.

As such, they tend to insist upon freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to

bear arms, freedom of and from religion, freedom of the Press, freedom of ownership, freedom

of the economy, and they almost always oppose the welfare state and taxation (which they

see as a form of slavery).

Or as the American Libertarian Party puts it, "We hold that all individuals have the

right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever

manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of

others to live in whatever manner they choose."

Now that sounds pretty damn reasonable, right?

Penn Jillette and Michael Shermer seem to think so ("But I've voted libertarian

for many years now."

"I've leaned libertarian most of my life, since college").

As does Ron Paul ("They said the role of government ought to be but one thing - protect

liberty.

That's the purpose of government"), Clint Eastward ("And now, you've called yourself

a libertarian - is that right?

Is that correct?"

"Yeah... libertarian values, as for Rubublicans used to be when they were saving money and

everything"), and according to libertarians websites, Keanu Reeves, Chris rock, Vince

Vaughn, Will Weaton, Matt Groening, and countless more… and so why doesn't it convince me?

Well, what follows is my three primary reasons.

This is Why I'm NOT a Libertarian.

One of the most eloquent and convincing summations of the libertarian philosophy that I've ever

heard of comes from Walter Edward Williams, who in his book titled All It Takes is Guts,

wrote the following: "But let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what

I earn and you keep what you earn.

Do you disagree?

Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you - and why?"

And so, what's my answer?

Why do I think that strangers are entitled to some of Walter's fruit?

Well, to put it bluntly, Walter fell out of the right vagina at the right time; he inherited

a biological and/or socioeconomic advantage that he did not earn, and thus, he does not

"deserve" all of the fruit if his labour.

He was dealt good cards…

Now Walter came from a broken family, in a relatively racist country, and so how the

hell can I say that he had an advantage?

Well, for him, it's got more to do with nature than nurture, and to explain why, let

me rewind a bit.

In 1971, the American political philosopher John Rawls wrote A Theory of Justice, and

within it he (as many of you likely know) observed that when people contemplate and

determine the structure and rules of society, they do so selfishly, based on their personal

circumstances, characteristics and preferences – such as their mental and physical abilities,

social status, ethnicity, gender, and most crucially, their conception of what's good.

Thus, it's no surprise that some people who can afford the bare basics (such as shelter

and food) want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay towards other

people's bare basics.

Likewise, it's no surprise that some people who can afford to pay for their family's

medical bills want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay towards strangers'

medical bills.

Just as it's no surprise that some people who can afford to send their children to school

want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay for other people's children

to go to school, and so on and so forth.

But the only reason they seek such a society, Rawls argued, is because of their lucky circumstances.

They've been dealt good biological and socioeconomic cards, and as such they stand to lose a card

or two should society attempt to equalise the hands of those less fortunate.

Now to get around this prejudice, Rawls proposed what he called the "original position",

and argued that "A just society is a society that if you knew everything about it, you'd

be willing to enter it in a random place."

He reasoned that if people determined the basic structure of society behind a veil of

ignorance, which would deprive them of information about their specific characteristics, such

as their ethnicity, social status and gender, they WOULD create a welfare state.

They'd elect a society that maximizes the prospects of the worst of because they themselves

might be the worst off.

They'd create a society that would ensure that if they or their loved ones were born

blind, deaf or dumb, they'd nevertheless have a life worth living.

Thus, this is the primary reason I'm not a libertarian.

Despite the fact that I came from a broken family and had a very rough upbringing, I

am extremely lucky to have the characteristics that I do, and while I've worked extremely

hard to get where I am, I did not "earn" the temperament, patience, charisma, and,

if you will, intellect that I have – I was simply dealt good biological cards.

Thus, I'm convinced that SOME of the fruits of my labour should go to those less fortunate,

and that the same is true of Walter's fruit.

Now Sam Harris, in a post titled "How to lose readers without even trying" (which,

admittedly, makes me a little bit nervous about my releasing this video), put Rawls'

original position this way: "Many of my critics pretend that they have been entirely

self-made.

They seem to feel responsible for their intellectual gifts, for their freedom from injury and disease,

and for the fact that they were born at a specific moment in history.

Many appear to have absolutely no awareness of how lucky one must be to succeed at anything

in life, no matter how hard one works.

One must be lucky to be able to work.

One must be lucky to be intelligent, to not have cerebral palsy, or to not have been bankrupted

in middle age by the mortal illness of a spouse.

Many of us have been extraordinarily lucky—and we did not earn it.

Many good people have been extraordinarily unlucky—and they did not deserve it.

And yet I get the distinct sense that if I asked some of my readers why they weren't

born with club feet, or orphaned before the age of five, they would not hesitate to take

credit for these accomplishments."

Anyhow, moving on, the second reason I'm not a libertarian is because I don't believe in

natural rights, which I would argue is the very bedrock of libertarianism.

If it wasn't, then all of morality would come down to arbitrary private contracts,

and libertarians certainly don't believe that this is the case; they hold that we are born

with certain inalienable rights – namely life, liberty, and (in most cases) property,

but I see absolutely no justification for this.

Many libertarians, such as John Locke, insist that these rights are god-given – that we

have the right to liberty because god said so (but I, as an atheist, obviously don't

find this convincing… and what's more, even if I was a Christian like Locke, I'd

still reject his assertion, as in my opinion the bible explicitly states that it's perfectly

fine to deprive certain people of liberty).

While other believers in natural rights (though not strictly libertarian), such as Immanuel

Kant, insist that natural rights are derived from reason alone; that, in Kant's case,

they're categorical imperatives – but I reject this because I don't believe any

action is non-contingent (and I'll likely explain exactly why in a future video, rather

than needlessly cluttering this one).

And so to those of you who're libertarian and non-religious, I'd like to ask a question:

what makes you think we're born with natural rights?

What part of the state of nature possibly yields the RIGHT to liberty?

Sure, we're born free, but that doesn't mean we have the RIGHT to be free, does it?

As it stands, I maintain that Thomas Hobbes got it right when he said that in the absence

of a social contract, life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

(And yes, I know that Hobbes believed in natural rights, but I find his argument to be inadequate,

albeit practical – again, I'll try and address this in a future video).

The third reason I'm not a libertarian is because I don't believe in libertarian free

will.

On top of the fact that we're not responsible for the biological and socioeconomic characterises

we posses, I also don't think we're responsible (in the libertarian sense) for anything.

I've discussed the illusion of free will in previous videos, and so won't repeat

myself here – but in case you still believe in free will, and especially if it plays a

vital role in your libertarian worldview (which I'd assume it must), please consider checking

out said videos.

If we're not responsible for our actions in the libertarian sense (which is to say,

for example, if my being a YouTuber isn't entirely of my own volition), then how can

I sincerely take credit for the fruit that it produces, let alone insist that I deserve

them?

To use Rawlsian terminology, I might be "entitled" to most of the fruit, but I don't "deserve"

them – and I certainly don't deserve all them.

If we're deterministic entities, libertarianism simply doesn't work.

And so there you have it… the three primary reasons as to why I'm not a libertarian.

Now don't get me wrong – I consider myself a liberal (at least in the classical sense),

and in many situations I stand side by side with libertarians, but I don't call myself

a libertarian because I don't believe in free will, I don't believe in natural rights,

and, most crucially (and ironically), I don't believe libertarianism represents true liberty.

True liberty, in my opinion, requires equal opportunity, and libertarianism doesn't

deliver this.

In fact, to the contrary, it protects those ARBITRARILY dealt good cards, and leaves those

arbitrarily dealt bad cards to die… it addresses "freedom from" but it utterly fails to

address "freedom to".

Now, as said at the beginning, if you think any of my reasons are insufficient, or that

I'm missing something crucial, then please let me know, as I'm entirely self-taught,

and as such I appreciate that this makes me vulnerable to missing a thing or two – despite

extensive research.

Anyhow, I'm Stephen Woodford (or Rationality Rules), and as always, thank you kindly for

the view, and an extra special thank you to my wonderful patrons and those of you who've

Until next time my fellow apes, until next time!

5 Jazz Blues Licks - How To Use Transcribed Ideas - Duration: 13:28.

(bluesy instrumental music)

- Hi, everybody, my name is Jens Larsen.

In this video I'm going to

go over five jazz blues licks.

I think that the language of Jazz Blues,

so that that mix of bebop and arpeggios

and chromaticism with some real nice blues sound,

is something that's really interesting,

and also something that you definitely

wanna have in your playing.

It's a huge part of the jazz tradition.

What I'm going to do here is I'm going

to go over five examples.

They're a little bit longer than what I normally do.

And that's giving me a little bit more space

to use different rhythms.

And I'm also gonna use it as an example

of how I incorporate things that I've transcribed.

So, in these five examples you're gonna find

small phrases and bits and pieces

of things that I've actually talked about

in other videos, as well, but also just

stuff that I've checked out from solos and transcriptions.

So they're gonna be phrases from George Benson,

Wes Montgomery, John Scofield,

Kenny Burrell, and Grant Green, as well.

(jazz instrumental music)

This first example opens up with a phrase

that I pretty much just copy/pasted

from a Grant Green solo.

So this is on a Blues in G.

Actually, all the examples are on a Blues in G.

And it's just the first four bars

of a Blues in G.

So, one bar of G7. (jazzy guitar music)

One bar of C7.

And then back to G7, sometimes with some sort

of G7alt at the end.

And the pickup here is really just a G major triad.

(jazzy guitar music) Second inversion.

Up to the 13th, and then via the third.

(jazzy guitar music) Down to the fifth again.

Then we go to the C7.

Here I'm using legato to create some ghost note.

This is really like a phrasing here.

(jazzy guitar music)

I'm clearly picking the A here, but I'm--

(jazzy guitar music)

The pull off is a little bit subtle.

And that's really just to create sort of,

a difference in the dynamics that makes the line

a little bit more interesting.

And then it's back to G7. (jazzy guitar music)

And here it's first a line that's

coming out of a Bdim, so the triad

that's found on the third of the chord.

First with a leading note.

(jazzy guitar music)

Then a scale one from the F.

(jazzy guitar music)

And then sliding into the third.

Down to the root.

And then, to take us to C7,

a quick-- (jazzy guitar music)

Augmented, Gaug triad.

Which is something you'll find.

And then going to the ninth of the G7.

This is something that you'll hear a lot of people do.

I know of solos from Sonny Rollins and Parker,

where they both do this sort of--

(jazzy guitar music) And also, going to the ninth

on the four chord.

(jazzy instrumental music)

A great way to create some lines

that has a jazz blues sound is of course

to work with the fact that you can use

the minor third-- (jazzy guitar music)

On a major chord.

And in this case, also just to keep it a little more,

because I think with blues you're gonna have--

(bluesy guitar music)

Which is the basic minor third

on top of the major third,

but here where it's more

jazz blues, it's a little bit more related

to the chords and you're gonna find

that the minor third is very often used as a leading note.

That's also what I'm doing here.

I'm just sliding into it.

So, the upbeat is really just that--

(jazzy guitar music) That flat third,

sliding into the major third on the one.

(jazzy guitar music)

Then we get a major pentatonic.

(jazzy guitar music) Phrase here.

Moving to C7.

Now, of course, the big difference

between a G7 and a C7 is that,

that Bflat, that's the 7th of the C7.

So that's also what gets the emphasis.

So now we have-- (jazzy guitar music)

The next part of the line is when I'm going back

to G7, this is actually a quote

from a George Benson solo.

It's from the solo on Billy's Bounce,

that I have made a video on.

This is off the top of my head,

but I think he uses it to pull the rhythm section

into walking; he plays a different rhythm.

He plays all quarter notes.

I'm playing it as a pickup, so I'm playing eighth notes.

(jazzy guitar music)

So these notes are just eighth notes when I'm playing it.

(jazzy guitar music) So the rest is, again,

just make it pentatonic, and then also really using

the leading note to the third.

(jazzy guitar music) And then from there

moving on to a Parker phrase, in fact,

which is also major pentatonic.

(jazzy guitar music)

And then the Parker phrase starts--

(jazzy guitar music) With this trill.

And then ending on the flat seven,

which of course is not in the major pentatonic scale.

But this is very typical for Parker.

You will hear him play a blues,

and then he won't really emphasize

the flat seven until he wants to move

to the fourth degree, and that's what's happening here.

Previously in this line, there's no--

(jazzy guitar music) No F in there.

And then now we get it and it's really emphasized

and you can really hear, okay,

now we're moving on to C7.

(jazzy instrumental music)

Kenny Burrell is really great

at using blues in his playing.

The phrase that I'm opening with here

is actually also a blues phrase from him,

but he's not using it on blues.

It's from his solo on Bye Bye Blackbird.

Essentially just major pentatonic

and then using the-- (jazzy guitar music)

Leading note for the third of the chord.

(jazzy guitar music) And then we get

the leading note again from the third.

But now on up to higher.

And this nice-- (jazzy guitar music)

That's my six interval.

And then we get another phrase

that you could say that this is coming from either

Wes or from George Benson; they both use this.

Probably there are more people that use it.

Those are the two where I came across in solos.

And that's the idea of having

sort of a pedal point, a high pedal point.

In this case it's the root.

(bluesy guitar music)

So that's this phrase.

The way they're both using it

is actually where they have the--

(bluesy guitar music)

The six of the 13 in the key

as a high note.

I'm using the root here because--

(bluesy guitar music)

I'm using on the fourth degree,

and it works really well as a nice transition

back to-- (jazzy guitar music)

To the G7.

And I think that's also something that you can see

in the way that I'm using these different phrases.

I'm really not using them in exactly the same way

as they are in the solo where I learned them.

I'm really just trying to do other things with them

and change stuff around, and see if I can make

my own little take on that little phrase.

And also notice that the phrases that I'm using

are really fairly short.

They're usually not more than like, five or six notes.

So of course, if you calm the notes with this trill,

there are more notes, but essentially

it's not a lot of notes.

(bluesy guitar music)

And then we get a stand up double stop line with--

(jazzy guitar music)

Which is just sort of,

this third and then going down to the third

and the fifth of the chord.

(jazzy guitar music) And up to the seventh.

(jazzy guitar music)

And a pretty straightforward G7 alter line.

(jazzy guitar music)

Resolving down to the fifth of C7.

(bluesy instrumental music)

The reason that I can keep on publishing videos

every week is that I have a community of people

over on Patreon, that are supporting the channel.

I'm very grateful for their support.

And it's because of them that I can keep on making

all these jazz guitar and music theory videos.

If you wanna help me keep making videos,

then check out my Patreon page.

And if you join us over on Patreon,

I can also give you something in return for your support.

(jazzy instrumental music)

Another guitar player with a really strong blues influence

is John Scofield.

And you can clearly hear in his playing

that he's checked out, and he's also played a lot of blues.

It's really sort of the rock blues where I think,

maybe you can hear, also, that the other guys,

they're taking their blues

from not only other guitar players

but also more from piano players and horn players.

And here I think you can really hear with Scofield

that he's also just been listening a lot

to real blues guitar players and rock guitar players.

The first part of this is kind of a strange line,

which is also kind of fitting.

It's not exactly something that I've heard

Scofield do, it's just a similar idea.

So, spreading out an arpeggio over a few octaves,

and then also using different techniques

to just create sort of this weirdly sounding lick

that sounds really nice, but it's also quite surprising.

In this case on the G7, I'm actually playing

a G half-diminished arpeggio.

And I'm using a lot of the legato.

So, the first part is just a drill.

(jazzy guitar music)

And then just down the arpeggio.

(jazzy guitar music)

Sliding down to the next octave.

And then ending on the root. (jazzy guitar music)

I think a lot of what is going on with a phrase like this,

and this is something he does quite often in,

I think, maybe that period where I know him best,

which is in the video where I'm analyzing a solo

from the album he did with Metheny.

And I think that's the period I know the best,

that one with the quartet with Joe Levano.

That's kind of the same period.

That's also in the late-90s, I think.

That's the records that I've checked out the most.

That's also where I hear him do stuff like this more often.

(jazzy guitar music)

As much as the notes is a part of this,

I think the phrasing and using the legato

to get different sounds out

is really a huge part of what makes this work

and what makes it interesting to listen to.

The next part is really straightforward

because it's on the C7.

And it's just the triad from the third of that chord.

So that's an E half-diminished.

(jazzy guitar music)

And then from there, going back to the G7.

We get another,

this is also a quote, it starts off with a direct quote

of the solo that I have in the other video.

And then it moves into something else

I'm first just playing the E and the G

as a double stop here. (jazzy guitar music)

So, that's the phrase.

And in the original, this is in Bflat,

and it's not on all the strings

but you can still work with it here.

(jazzy guitar music)

And then I play a similar phrase,

but I wanna make it into sort of, G7 flat nine.

So I'm just moving the whole thing down a whole step.

And I'm also changing in rhythm because the first one--

(jazzy guitar music) Starting on the two.

(jazzy guitar music)

And the second one, is really going straight

to the, on the one. (jazzy guitar music)

And that way we're just changing the character

of the phrase, also.

It's starting with a Scofield quote,

and then it's turning into something else.

(jazzy instrumental music)

This is the second example where I'm using Wes Montgomery.

And here I'm actually using, again,

a line that's not coming from the blues originally.

But it is also really using some of the melodic techniques

that you'll find very often in blues.

Because this is a line that's pretty much

just a copy/paste of a line that Wes

is playing on Four and Six.

So it's on the famous

Four and Six solo from Smokin' At the Half Note.

He is placing it differently than what I'm doing here.

I'm actually playing it, what is it, two beats later?

And really, what I'm using it for is that,

of course, we get the blues phrasing

in the opening statement with a G major triad.

(jazzy guitar music)

But the other part of this that's also really typical

for blues and which is also something

that Wes uses really, really a lot,

is this call and response idea, and then developing that.

So first we have the-- (jazzy guitar music)

And then on the C7 we can just neatly go--

(jazzy guitar music) And that's really just

C major pentatonic on the C7.

And then, again. (jazzy guitar music)

So, sticking with the original call,

and then the response is going--

(jazzy guitar music)

which is essentially a take on the first one.

(jazzy guitar music) But now it's turned

into a G7 altered. (jazzy guitar music)

And then I'm adding some arpeggio.

Essentially it's,

it's like an A flat minor/major arpeggio.

(jazzy guitar music) And then a scale

going down to the C, or the E on the C7.

(jazzy instrumental music)

Measuring Dealer Success - Duration: 1:56.

Hey guys, welcome to "It's Your Business."

My name is Dan and I'm SimplePart's Vice President of Client Services.

My main objective is to help you meet your business goals using our platform and solutions.

My goal in this and other videos is to share tips and advice on how you can be more successful

selling parts and accessories online.

My advice would be based off the solutions we offer at SimplePart, but you can apply what you learn here

to other platforms as well.

So let's get started.

When you make the decision to sell online, you need to ask yourself this question first.

How will I measure the success of my online business?

Taking a look at your business model and figuring out the answer to this question is

critical in growing online in a sustainable way.

You probably hear a lot of noise about the importance sales volume plays in online success.

However, that isn't necessarily true.

In fact, depending on your goals, it could even damage your bottom line.

Even though sales still matter, gross profit and net profit could be more accurate measures of success.

For example, you can sell at cost +5, but are you making any money for your dealership

after taking into account employee overhead or time spent fulfilling orders?

Reducing prices to sell more is not always the best solution.

It's important to keep these options in mind when you're considering the best route for your online business.

Selecting the right partner is like buying a car...you need to check under the hood before you commit.

We'll cover other things to think about when you're searching for the right e-commerce partner

in future videos, so make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss any of them.

and SimplePart is always here to help with our 24-hour support team if you feel you need

guidance in any area.

Grow Your Instagram Followers: 7 Top Mistake to Avoid on Instagram (2019) - Duration: 12:06.

So one of the best ways to grow your brand online right now is on Instagram

and in this video I've got the top seven mistakes that you'll want to avoid if you

want to gain followers on Instagram and also turning them into customers and

clients and I can't wait to share with you guys some of the proven strategies

to help you grow your audience on Instagram and ultimately creating

an everlasting brand. Hi everyone, this is Laurie Wang, your online marketing coach

and trainer, and I'm here to help you grow your audience online faster and

also helping you to create online business through social media and

digital marketing strategies. In this channel, I'll be sharing mini execution

plans, tips and strategies, as well as behind the scenes secrets on how you can

grow your audience online and ultimately helping you to be as profitable as

possible with your business online. So if you're new here, consider subscribing!

Just press that button down below! So when it comes to building your brand

online, you cannot ignore Instagram. Recent stats have shown that Instagram

have now over 1 billion users on this platform, that's over 1 billion people

that you can expose your brand to, which is just phenomenal! However I get tons of

emails and questions about why someone might be losing their followers on a

daily basis. If that's you my friend? Then don't panic because I got you

covered in this video and you can find out all about the top mistakes that you

can avoid so you can keep those followers going forward. I've got the top

7 mistakes on Instagram that I see on a daily basis and these mistakes that you

can avoid so you can build your following. Number 1, posting

inconsistently or posting too much. Now if you're following someone's account on

Instagram usually you'd be seeing their content either a daily basis or every

two or three days now if you're someone that posts perhaps every three months and

when someone comes to your account and they see that your last post was from three

months ago, then most likely they'll think that your account is longer active

and either you lose your existing followers or you probably have no one

else who wants to follow your content going forward, what you want to do is

have a regular posting schedule that is consistent and that your audience knows

that you're there for them all the time now on the other side you can also be

posting too much if you're posting let's say five times a day then your followers

would just get annoyed and they'll see your content way too often because

obviously Instagram is showing them a lot more of your posts from that day and

unfortunately that will also cause you to lose followers as well so be very

mindful about how often you share and how consistently you share your content

as well. Number two, your Instagram bio and first impression. Now, you know that

saying in real life how you have 30 seconds to make that first impression

before let's say an important job interview or first time you meet someone

on a date? Well, on Instagram it's actually even less so you actually have

about three seconds or so to make that first impression. I know right! So in that

case you want to make sure that your Instagram bio is absolutely in the best

shape possible and also your top nine posts are really the ones that are there

to help you attract your target audience so in this case when someone comes to

your bio and seeing your top nine post then they'll actually like what they're

seeing and want to hit that follow button. So if you want to know how to

create an irresistible Instagram bio then I suggest that you go to my

Instagram profile on @iamlauriewang which I'll link to in the

description below and you can download the free Instagram cheatsheet which

will help you to create all these things in one place. So make sure they get your

hands on this freebie I think you'll love it too. Number three, you don't have

currently a consistent theme that you're

communicating your content to your followers on the Instagram. So, you know

those accounts where you see one photo of perhaps someone's dinner, the next day

is about someone's cat, and then followed by perhaps a fashion outfit so by not

having a consistent theme then you're not attracting your target audience

because they don't know what they're following for and what content they'll

see on an ongoing basis, so it's best to take two or three themes that works

really well for what you have to share and what you have to sell as well as

product and services then focus your content on those two to three themes on a

consistent basis then your audience will actually know what they can expect from

you and also your regular consistent posting in these main themes that

are relating to you and your brand will actually help you attract the right

target audience. Number four, your captions maybe isn't engaging and

also encouraging people to follow along for more, so to keep your captions

engaging and also encouraging people to follow along is all down to the quality

of the content you provide and what you're providing people in those

captions for them to actually understand the background behind this post. Now a

good caption is the secret to make a good image to go to great. Now you want

to give some context behind your post so perhaps give a story that you have

associated to this piece of post or ask your audience a question get them to

take an action perhaps leave a comment or perhaps share their side of the story

tag a friend etc all these things will encourage this caption to be a two-sided

conversation rather than just you talking to your audience about what's

going on and having this on a regular basis will really help you build that

consistent community and ultimately for your followers to come back for more

Number 5, if you're using bots or spam software that might be

attracting an unengaged and also inauthentic audience on Instagram that

might also lead to your followers being depleted on a daily basis. Now these

softwares have become super popular since Instagram took off in the early

days and unfortunately some of these software's are actually against

instagrams Terms & Conditions, what that means is that Instagram will actually

actively ban and delete those accounts that they found to be using these

softwares now what these softwares do is that they actively follow people and then

unfollow them in a few more days if those people don't follow them back or

perhaps you follow them back and they unfollow you in a few days as well. Now

this creates a really inauthentic connection with your audience and

actually what you find is that for some of those accounts for using these spot

software's they may see their accounts actually banned or deleted from

Instagram as a whole but also losing their engagement rate over time so we'll

do have is a lot of accounts that might be following them but not yet engaging

with their content and also once they stop using these softwares they'll be

losing followers on a daily basis. So it's really great to actually stop using

them if you are and just start engaging with Instagram on an organic basis and

you'll definitely see some amazing results. Number six, this is all about hashtags.

Now you might be using the wrong type of hashtags or potentially not enough

hashtags. So as you all know hashtags is one of the ways for you to be found on

Instagram, and for the longest time it was actually one of the only ways for you to be

found on Instagram. Nowadays obviously there are so many other tactics and

strategies to use, however hashtags is still a very essential part of your

Instagram strategy and in this case you might be using the wrong type of

hashtags ie the kind of hashtags that might be too general for your audience

so things like #girl #good #instagood, all these ones are way

overuse and actually have so much content being posted on them that your

content will actually be outdated within seconds so what you want to do is

actually look through the hashtags and do a bit of research for them. Research the ones

that are in your target audience who are actually currently using them on a daily

basis to look for content like yours and therefore you're connecting yourself to

the right type of people rather than all the 1 billion people currently on

Instagram right now. And remember I always tell my students and also my followers

about this I'd like to hone in on this all the time, is that on Instagram you want

to make sure that whatever you're doing is tied to your overall goal in terms of

your business and your brand. So it doesn't matter if you have hundreds and

thousands of millions of followers if none of them are actually right for you

or won't ultimately become a customer or a client.

Right? So you'll want to make sure that everything you do on Instagram is

intentional and also on Instagram you can use up to 30 hashtags per post so in

this case I would say why not use all 30 hashtags to give your content the best

chances of having an exposure on Instagram to the right type of

audience right? Number 7, avoid being over salesy. Now if your posts are constantly

promoting products promoting a services that you have and just saying buy buy

buy to people all the time, guess what, a lot of your followers will just get

bored and ultimately leave as well and that really turns them off because they're

following you for useful content and also to be following along on your

journey as well. What you want to do is actually create useful content that

they'll enjoy and actually help them on their journey and their challenges and

pain points, ultimately on social media especially Instagram you want to be

creating the like, know, and trust factor over time and what I mean by that is you

want to make sure that your audience as they first come to encounter with your

brand, grow to like you, know your brand, and ultimately trust you and that trust

is what could convert them into customers and also clients. Now remember

it's fine to be promotional in your post however you could put it in an

educational format where you're telling your followers about what this products

and this service can do for them and how they can use it and actually in this way

they'll understand more about your business and eventually convert into

that customer or client that you're looking for. Thank you so much for

watching this video! I really hope that that was very helpful for you and do you

let me know in the comments on which of these seven mistakes then you see the

most on Instagram or you identify with the most as well!

I myself have definitely done some of these mistakes before in my early days I

definitely identify with a lot of these. So if you like this video, make sure to

give it a thumbs up and subscribe! And I look forward to seeing you guys next week

5 creepy 'woman in white' legends - Duration: 7:14.

So, picture this: You're out alone at night.

Maybe you're staying at a hotel, driving down the road or attending an event and wandered

away from the crowd.

You see a woman dressed all in white and decide, for whatever reason, to approach her.

But at some point in your interaction -- maybe even before it starts -- she disappears right

before your eyes.

You later discover the truth about this woman.

Maybe the white outfit is her wedding dress and she was just left at the altar.

Maybe she couldn't bear being jilted, or was upset for some other reason, and took her

own life.

Whatever the case, she's not of this world.

You've probably heard variations of this story before.

Legends of ghostly women in white have been reported for centuries, not just in the United

States, but all over the world.

Here are five creepy woman in white legends.

You probably know about Detroit's Eight Mile Road that famously divides the city.

But you may not be familiar with the similarly named East 8 Mile Road in California.

The road runs through Stockton, about 50 miles south of Sacramento, and is occupied by more

than just the occasional turtle or deer.

According to motorists who use the road at night, a woman wearing a white dress often

appears on the side of the road -- or even in the middle.

But if you're thinking "Well I'm going to ignore her just to be safe," think again.

Even if you don't pick her up, she allegedly disappears from the road, only to appear in

your backseat!

Stories also say she's killed drivers before, so this is one malevolent ghost.

But she's not alone on the road.

The ghost of a Native American girl reportedly wanders the area as well.

Legend says she was killed in an accident on the road, and her screams can be heard

at night.

My more fashion forward listeners might be familiar with high end clothing brand Neiman

Marcus.

But I bet you never thought you'd hear about it in a ghost story.

In White Lake Rock Park in east Dallas, stories date back to the 1930's of a ghost girl in

a long white Neiman Marcus dress.

They say she appears to motorists at the park, soaking wet.

If someone offers her a ride home, she gives them an address about a mile and a half away

and hops right in.

But at some point in the journey she disappears, leaving nothing but a puddle behind.

The motorist decides to check out the address the woman gave, maybe out of curiosity.

When he (or she) arrives at what turns out to be an ordinary house, they knock on the

door and a man answers.

When the motorist tells the man what happened, he says the girl perfectly fits the description

of his daughter, who drowned in the lake.

Some versions say her death was an accident; others say she committed suicide by jumping

in.

One sighting of the so-called 'Lady of the Lake' was by a Neiman Marcus employee, who

must have recognized the girl's dress as being made by the brand.

When he and his wife approached the girl's father, he informed them that his daughter

loved Neiman Marcus and wore nothing else.

I guess if you're going to encounter a ghost, it might as well be one with style.

I've talked before about ghosts that haunt the various Disney parks around the world.

One that hangs around the Anaheim location is a notorious 'woman in white' and, unsurprisingly

for the 'happiest place on earth,' she's not only benign, but pretty helpful.

The woman has been spotted on Main Street, often window shopping -- so maybe we have

another fashion savvy ghost.

She reportedly wears clothes reminiscent of the early 1900's, and is thought to hang around

Main Street because of its old timey feel.

She also appears at guest services, guiding lost children there so they can be reunited

with their parents.

How sweet of her!

Like the other ghosts on this list, not much is known about the woman's life.

The Anaheim park was opened in 1955 so, based on her clothes, she likely predates it.

The property used to be orange groves, so maybe she worked or spent time there before

her death.

Whatever the case, I'm glad to have a friendly ghost on the list.

For the next woman in white, us Americans will travel "across the pond" to the U.K.

There are gobs of legends there that fit the 'woman in white' bill.

But the one that stood out to me the most was the one at the Old Mill Hotel.

This hotel is located in Motherwell, Scotland, about 15 miles southeast of Glasgow.

The town boasts just over 30,000 residents, but not all of them are living.

According to the legend, the woman was set to be married in the hotel.

But her fiancé jilted her at the altar and, as if that wasn't bad enough, she was attacked

and beaten by another man who had feelings for her.

Why did he do this?

Who knows.

But apparently the woman was so upset as she ran away that she didn't notice when she jumped

in front of a train -- though she wasn't actually hit by the train, she only died of fright.

Kind of an anticlimactic ending if you ask me -- but hey, I'm just the messenger.

After the woman's death, she haunted the fiancé who jilted her, still wearing her wedding

dress.

(Frankly, if I were her, I'd haunt the man who beat me up, but to each her own I guess.)

Today, the woman is said to be buried near the hotel and her ghost has been spotted under

a tree on the property.

50 miles south of Sicily, Italy lie the Maltese Islands.

With a rich history dating all the way back to prehistoric times, it's no surprise that

Malta has its share of spirits -- including its own woman in white.

This woman haunts Verdala Palace, built all the way back in 1586.

It was briefly used as a military prison during the French rule of the island -- which lasted

a long and impressive two years -- but has been used as the private summer residence

for the president of Malta since 1987.

Like the others on this list, it's unclear who this woman in white was in life, or even

when she died.

But, as the legend goes, she was forced to marry a man she didn't love.

(In some versions of the story, he's a knight.)

On her wedding day, the disgruntled bride-to-be refused to accept her fate and jumped off

a balcony to her death, still in her wedding dress.

Another version of the legend refers to her as 'the blue lady' and says she didn't commit

suicide, but tried to escape the palace through a window and fell to her death.

Regardless of how she may have died, she reportedly never left the grounds and has been spotted

around the balcony.

Palace guests have claimed to see her during the annual August Moon ball, the only time

the palace is open to the public.

These are just a few of the ghostly women in white that haunt places around the world.
