@@OliverReyes-e9c Will do, we’ll focus on improving the audio.

Hey @jensoboleski , Jay from Paradyme here. I hope you're having a great day so far! Question for ya: If I made a video answering your questions and a part 2 to this video, would you tune in? I can dive further into: structure of a subduction complex, how subduction complexes are formed, what a melange is (and what it is not), the theories of how mélanges are formed, my results on oblique subduction, and overall architecture of the northern CA coast range mountains, and much more! I'd love to share this passion with you and any others who are interested. Let me know! I'm grateful for your interest!

​@@ParadymeBrand Ha, a silly question! Of course I would watch a follow-up video about the outcomes of this research project. I'll be waiting on pins and needles for it to drop. LOL. And I'd be sure to share it in the same place where I saw this first one. Speaking of where I saw this, I promise, I do keep trying to answer your question about how I came across this video, and for some reason that comment keeps disappearing. Not sure why all my other comments are fine except for that one. Dunno if I'm running afoul of some KZbin comment algorithms, but if mentioning another platform is the problem then I'll just say this video was shared in a fan page for another geologist on social media. If you're looking to share the passion with others who are interested, then that fan group is a good place. I'm sure that many folks there would want to watch a follow-up video, especially folks like me who live in Northern CA. We're always pining for more geology videos about places closer to where we live.

This Jay from Paradyme. I love all of your questions. They're all so good! Stay tuned, potentially a follow up video coming...

May I ask, how did you find this video? I'm genuinely grateful for your view and would love to know how I can reach more people just like you.

@@Jay-zq8st The question of melange mixing dovetails nicely with several recent videos that Nick Zentner posted on his KZbin channel, in which he interviewed prominent geologists, (i.e. Bob Miller at SJSU who has done the most work at the Rimrock Lake Inlier in the Cascade mtns of WA, which, as it happens, is apparently a melange). He was asking them questions about the when, where, why & how of melange mixing, which I totally found tantalizing, but it seemed to me as if none of them were able to really answer, as if maybe we don't really have a robust answer out there in the literature. So now my appetite is whetted to understand more about melange mixing, when lo and behold someone posted your video. I watched it like 5x to try and understand what what was being said & studied.

@@Jay-zq8st I was also hooked on this video due to feeling a personal connection to the area shown. Our family has an annual trip that takes us thru Cloverdale every year from 101, up Hwy 128 to the coast; and I'm always staring out the window at every rock outcrop we pass and wondering what type of rock it is. This video sort of answers some of those questions for me, but also leaves me wanting to know more about what were the higher grade rocks that were encountered.

Lol, he had surgery recently.

It's always going to require difficult choices, but you said it perfectly, PERSONAL CONVICTION.

🤣 Best place for comfort to thrive

Hell ya!

Finally got to it!!

The feedback means a lot. Thank you for your service to our country. We'll keep content like this coming! We'll probably read his new book!

That's a great next book recommendation! That book will definitely be mentioned for our next full review!

1 - Version containing "Desire for Spiritual Orgies": "Outwitting the Devil - The Original Unedited Complete Text" 2 - I like your point. Transmuting ALL desires must be difficult. Is this something you're proficient with? How do you do it? If not, what is your plan on improving? 3 - Valid point. This will be interesting to further research on our end. Thank you for your comment! They were quite thought provoking. Listen to our chapter 12 episode coming out soon. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

@@ParadymeBrand For point 2, I thought I mentioned it, but I guess I forgot. I think transmuting, at least the way Mr. Hill used the word, mean to redirect some but not all of the energy. I like to think of transmuting desires as delayed gratification. While I do dig the phrase Sexual Transmutation, I think it became a catch phrase. By transmuting all desires, I meant putting all desires in the same bucket, as in delayed gratification, rather than transmuting the complete energy of all desires. I hope that clears it up. As far as proficiency, I do believe I need much work. I once did do a four-month experiment with total 100% delayed gratification and it severely diminished my work output and my relationships. So, the idea for the person trying to advance may be to delay gratification more than the average man but not so much that you miss the beauty of life. I'll definitely tune in for the chapter 12 episode. I appreciate the group discussion on such a profound book. This book is my starting point on my quest to figure out a lot of things in life.

@@dadamnmayne This is such an insightful description of your experience. We love the prospective and think it's admirable that you actual practically applied some of the knowledge from this book! Applause to you!!

We will be sure to not let it happen again.

Thank you so much for the feedback. We'll keep them coming every Monday at 11:00 am PST

Just starting off so it means the world when we can garner attention thank you!

Really appreciate the feedback and to your point about the title, thank you for the recognition it's dually noted!
