What is Crazy Wisdom Divine?

Crazy Wisdom Divine podcast offers entertaining transmissions from That Saint. Discover timely episodes that help you to Enlighten Up. Here's a chance to Laugh, Pray and Disobey. Hosted by Tomji Saint George, That Saint's main transmission channeler.

Speaker 1:

But welcome to Crazy Wisdom Divine. I'm your host Tom G broadcasting from a cozy burrow somewhere between a Lenten sacrifice and a chocolate induced coma. This month, Saint Patrick drives snakes out of Ireland. Spring Equinox gives us equal day and night, and there are lots of Easter eggs, bunnies, and even pagan fertility symbols hiding in plain sight. This is a spiritual smorgasbord.

Speaker 1:

So excited? Wait a minute. We've got the heavenly hotline letters. Transmissions from my spiritual advisor, that saint, And she's somewhere between Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, and Lent in recovery. But she will be with us through the ethers.

Speaker 1:

I think March is the Tuesdays of months. It's not winter, it's not spring, you're still wearing a coat, but you're looking at sandals online. Saint Patrick's Day honors a British born saint who allegedly chased snakes out of Ireland. Inside story geologists say that was unnecessary because there were no snakes. We celebrate by drinking green beer and eating corned beef.

Speaker 1:

What does that have to do with snakes? Well then we have the equinox, March 20. We're talking about balance, equal day and night. Night. Know, it's like the universe said, Hey, here's 12 of light and twelve hours of dark.

Speaker 1:

You go figure it out. Jump ahead in the month, and at the very very end, almost on April Fool's Day. PS. April Fool's Day, I think, is gonna be All Saints Day, and I think that means that that saint is gonna have something special to offer each and every one. So on Easter, chocolate shows up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Chocolate shows up right as we're supposed to be giving thanks. And like ending up the giving of things up for Lent. The timing? I don't know.

Speaker 1:

But underneath it all, rabbits, eggs, new life, interfertility symbols, your grandmother's china bunny, pagan stuff, cadbury egg, it's all seasonal, hello spring. The impulse to clean your entire apartment by four is also seasonal. They call it spring cleaning. I call it existential dread meets March Madness. That's why I sent a transmission to that saint.

Speaker 1:

March is emergence. Seed breaks ground. Rabbit leaves burrow. Don't resist. Carry tissues.

Speaker 1:

Okay, that's a message? See? It's a little scrambled. Could you move somewhere else? The reception isn't all that good.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I'm getting the right words here. Okay, thanks. You know, everyone, I guess what that saint is saying is grow, but also be prepared to cry. Okay, well that's always good advice. Now we have Heavenly Hotline, Letters to the Saint.

Speaker 1:

Our first letter is from Lent Slipping Larry. I gave up sugar for Lent. I just ate an entire sleeve of Girl Scout cookies in my car in the Target parking lot. Am I damned? Do Thin Mints count if they're frozen?

Speaker 1:

I did break my promise of zero sugar to honor Easter. Larry, let's just consult the saint. Mhmm. Yeah. We're sending it.

Speaker 1:

We're sending it. Are we getting it back now? Okay. Mhmm. From the saint, God doesn't care about Thin Mints.

Speaker 1:

God cares about you're hiding in a Target parking lot like you're in a spy movie. You're not Jason Bourne. And yes, thin mints do count, double counts. But relax, they're basically a health food. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1:

Health food. So Larry, you're not damn. Just think of it as being a spy with a cookie problem. Also, thin mints are borderline health food. That's science.

Speaker 1:

Our next letter is from Equinox Anxious Aaron or Equinox Anxious Aaron, depending on how you pronounce that e word. My friends are doing a spring Equinox reset weekend. Oh, meditation, vision, boarding, juicing. I want to watch the NCAA tournament neat nachos. What could help?

Speaker 1:

That's a good question, Larry. Let's check-in with this betray. Vision boarding is manifesting with scissors. Same energy. March Madness is spiritual.

Speaker 1:

It's hope, heartbreak, and the constant reminder that you know nothing like dating. I don't know if that was even the correct response from that saying, because, you know, it's like AI. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't. Well, don't think saint, really was that good at the answer. So, Larry, we'll figure it out and let you know.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah, I'll send you an email. Okay, well, one more from PartyPlanningPatricia. I'm hosting a Saint Patrick's party. How do I make it fun without everyone being out by 7PM? Where are they?

Speaker 1:

I don't want to be the fun police. Okay, party planning, Patricia, but I don't understand the stuff about people going to be out by 7PM, but let's ask that saint. Patricia, you're not the fun police, you're the fun ambassador. Rest. Provide good beer and fancy non alcoholic drinks that feels like a choice.

Speaker 1:

Give your guests a choice: mocktails with mint sparkling cider, just plain seltzer water with just a little bit of lemon. Okay, yeah, have lots of beer there, and that corned beef, it's only blessed if it's tender. That's non negotiable. Wow, well tender corned beef, you know, most people like it that way, and that's the real Lenten sacrifice made, and it's a big one. If you mess it up, it's going in the trash.

Speaker 1:

Mocktails? Oh, think hospitality with a choice. That's a nice thing to think about. Okay. It's time for our hero segment.

Speaker 1:

Somebody, someone who embodies emergence, weirdness, and unapologetic self expression. And this week, for the month of March Madness, our hero is Bjork, Bjork. Born in Iceland, punk band of 14, then it's solo. She reinvented music approximately 17 times. Why?

Speaker 1:

She's our March hero. One, she emerged, and she emerged repeatedly. Bjork doesn't repeat debut, post, homogenic. Each album is a different planet. She wore a swan dress to the Oscars because she felt like it.

Speaker 1:

That's not fashion. That's a spiritual declaration. Two. Bjork understands nature. Her album Biophilia explored music, nature, and the universe.

Speaker 1:

She sang about viruses and tectonic plates. She turns sides into sound. March is the earth waking up. Bjork has been awake the whole time. Three.

Speaker 1:

Bjork is not afraid of the weird. Rabbits are weird. Eggs are weird. Fertility symbols involving chocolate and a bunny delivering them, weird. Brooke's entire catalog is weird.

Speaker 1:

And and that weird is beautiful. And she commits. Oh, I'm getting a transmission? Wait. I thought I was doing this segment.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Tiny. Bjork is the rabbit who knows she's a rabbit and celebrates it. She doesn't wanna be a hawk. She doesn't wanna do anything but hop in her own rhythm.

Speaker 1:

The world says be normal. Bjork says, normal is a weather pattern. I am a climate. Say, is that all? Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, everyone. So the takeaway is be exactly who you are, even if you are, or even if you know you are, who you think you are, is confusing. It's March. It's March Madness, especially now. Bork didn't apologize for the swan dress.

Speaker 1:

She owned it. That's March energy. Emerge as yourself, feathers and all. Ready to crack the egg. March.

Speaker 1:

Time for Let saint's best bets. Current events filtered through cosmic chaos, and we're here to ask a saint all about it. Best bet one. The greening of things. Multiple cities die rivers and fountains green for Saint Patrick's Day, we all know that, and Chicago does the river.

Speaker 1:

It's a whole thing. That's Saint. Any feedback on that? Would Saint Patrick approve? No.

Speaker 1:

Dying water green is visually striking but ecologically questionable. Think of the fish. Wear one green sock instead and let those fish recover. Woah. Okay.

Speaker 1:

Get off the green socks. So what you're saying is personal greening is a better choice than public poisoning. Remember everyone, if you wear all green on March 17, you may get pinched, or just wear one green sock. It'll be fun. Best bet number two.

Speaker 1:

Cherry blossoms in super blooms. Get ready because California expects a wildflower super bloom this year. BC's cherry blossoms, you know, they usually peak in March, but why do we know? Why do we know when it's gonna turn into all flowers? Saint, could you give us some feedback on that?

Speaker 1:

It's early spring this year, or is it a delayed winter? Where's Punxsutawney Phil? I thought he was a correspondent. Punxsutawney, come back from Number Shell 1. Just sleeping.

Speaker 1:

Sleeping in, I guess. Okay. But, sorry, saying, you know, what's what okay. Thank you. Tomji, the blooms don't know you're photographing them.

Speaker 1:

They bloom because it's time. Like Beyonce dropping an album, there's no warning, just art. Spend five minutes with a flower. No phone. If you cry, that's fine.

Speaker 1:

Say let's say are using some AI scramble word thing? I don't know. Okay, yeah, I know. We're trying. Okay, best bet number three: Spring forward.

Speaker 1:

Daylight savings time starts March 9. We lose an hour. We complain, and we do it every year. What do you think that say? You don't lose an hour.

Speaker 1:

Think that the hour you loan and think you lost is alone to the light. The light pays you back in evening sunsets. It's a fair trade. Step outside at 7PM on March 9 and thank the colorful hour. Oh, okay, thanks.

Speaker 1:

And best bet number four, Easter candy timing. Easter is March 31. Candy shows up in stores around March 3. That's a full month of temptation. Chocolate bunnies are hollow, but we buy them anyway, hoping this year will be different.

Speaker 1:

So what's going on that saint? I think that's a good question. When the hollow bunny is a metaphor, it looks substantial, it promises fullness. But inside, it's empty, like dating someone based on their profile. Enjoy that chocolate.

Speaker 1:

Let it be emptiness and move on. Also, remember peeps are not food. They are officially craft supplies. Saint is that all? Okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, so what I guess that saint was communicating is the chocolate Easter bunny is like a Tinder date, something like that. You know, something that's attracted from the outside, hollow inside, but you still have fun for a minute. Eat the chocolate and peeps. Oh, peeps aren't candy. They are decorations, said the saint, so don't be fooled.

Speaker 1:

The Emergence Manifesto. Here's what I'm learning from March, from rabbits and equinox and Bjork and hollow bunnies. It is March Madness. And we are emerging. Winter's the pause.

Speaker 1:

The dark is great for going inward, but March is the unpause. So let's go, let's get out, and let's get outside and enjoy a little more light. Think of it this way: the seed doesn't ask if it's ready. It knows. It goes, Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

I guess it's time. No choice. Then it starts to push its way through dirt. Think of that assignment for March Madness. Think about it metaphorically.

Speaker 1:

Does it relate to you? We are all seeds emerging. Well, you could consider it wrapped up in this. Emerge at your own speed. Some plants shoot afast, some take their time.

Speaker 1:

It's like your friend may be ready to party on March 17, but you might be ready by April. Both of you are emerging, but at different speeds, to bring your weird with you. Bjork bought the swan dress. Bring your thing, the hobby you hide, the joke only you laugh at. You know the weird things.

Speaker 1:

March says, let that weird see the sun. Three. Honor the balance. Equinox means equal, light and dark. Party and nap.

Speaker 1:

The universe is literally telling you, balance is the goal. Both, and like a perfectly balanced playlist, some bangers and some ballads. For except the hollow parts. Some bunnies are hollow, some plans do fail. Some matches don't message back.

Speaker 1:

That's not a reason to skip the chocolate. Enjoy what's here, enjoy what's there, laugh at what's not here or there, and then laugh, pray, disobey, move on. Okay, well that's interesting. So we do have one final transmission from that saint. Need to wrap it up here.

Speaker 1:

And the saint is getting ready to return to her silent retreat. Okay. Okay. We're ready that saint. Everyone, you are the seed and the soil.

Speaker 1:

Do not wait for permission to grow. You are exactly on time. Say, is that that's it? Oh, hello? No, I can you hear me now?

Speaker 1:

I can't hear you. Oh, well, I guess that means that the saint has left our presence. But I like that we're exactly where we're supposed to be. The timing is right. Your timing is always right, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Speaker 1:

And some things are hollow. That's okay. You still get the chocolate. And if it's a chocolate bunny, even if it's hollow, you can still eat it. Go, grow, and eat the bunny now.

Speaker 1:

Go, grow, and eat that bunny now. Whether you're celebrating Saint Patrick's Equinox, Easter, or just the fact that the sun is sticking around longer, may your emergence be gentle, and may your chocolate be plentiful. This has been Crazy Wisdom Divine. I'm Tom G, and oh, I guess she didn't leave a final word from that stage. Tom G, tell them, if you see a rabbit this month, bow.

Speaker 1:

It knows things. Also, check your car for nests, actual nests. This is not a metaphor. See see, I think you are scrambling words. Could you get checked out when you're on your retreat?

Speaker 1:

Thanks. Okay. Well, okay, next time, let's move on on CWD, Crazy Wisdom Divine. It's April. Oh, it's April showers and all of those taxes.

Speaker 1:

We learn so much in the spiritual practice of paperwork, and Beyonce's birthday is April 4, So mark your calendars. We'll be back to share more tips and tricks, Crazy Wisdom Divine. Enlighten up.
