Yes, I know what you think of me. You never shut up, never shut up, never shut up, never shut up, never shut up. I want to forna- I mean formulate and discover the realms of the unknown. Welcome to Never Shut Up.
I'm your host, Rose Crest. Today is April 20th, 2026, and we are talking about Mary Jane. Of course, Mary Jane. And it's 420.
Oh! I guess it's time to have some Mary Jane. Maybe some special brownies? Because she even bakes, you know.
Anyway, Mary Jane, well, it's about Mary Jane. It's about expanding the consciousness. Well, really, it's about, like, some kid wanting to smoke pot. And it's the silly song on Abnormally Attracted to Sin.
But it kind of brings up an interesting point, is how do we discover the realms of the unknown? We expand our consciousness beyond the subconscious into realms of your transcendental self. That's the invitation here, is that expansion of consciousness. Now, within a text called the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, we'll delve into the Shiva Tantra.
So the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra is a text, it's a conversation between the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine, where Shiva is essentially teaching his consort Parvati about yoga and all of the practices entailed in yoga. But it's not like, oh, here, do this pose, here, do this pose, here, do this pose. It's more about discovering the realms of consciousness beyond consciousness, because Shiva is the realm beyond consciousness and the subconscious. So, and Vijnana is all about the wisdom, so it's a wisdom text in yoga.
There are multiple versions of this text. I love to read the Radiance Sutras, which is kind of more of an ecstatic translation of the text. Shiva Tantra. So one of the sutras of this text invites us to meditate upon the space before existence, before all of this world came into existence.
So we're sending our awareness all the way back in time to a space before time, the land before time. So we might focus on the breath as a doorway into that. So as you're breathing here, feeling the breath moving in and out, send your awareness to the breath, and that the breath you are breathing right now was exhaled by formulating, forming suns. You might bring your attention to that element of water, the primordial oceans flowing in your veins and arteries.
You can bring your attention to the molecules of your body, again, star stuff, or the fire in your belly. This fire from which this world arose in fire. Focusing on all these things, the space within, the space to your sides, above and below you, the emptiness of space in which consciousness finds expansion, unlimited expansion and openness. This is the knowledge of consciousness.
This is the true depth of wisdom that is the consciousness beyond thought. And it is to be experienced and only experienced. And with that, I thank you for joining me and Tori for a little mental yoga. Remember, five minutes a day is so much more, so much better than 60 minutes once a week.
See you tomorrow. So I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight for this radio taping, everybody at the station. And this is a little story. It's actually a true story of this teenage boy who told his mom that he wanted her to give him consent to have Mary Jane over for the weekend.
And she kind of thought, well, that's a good thing because he's been kind of weird. So maybe Mary Jane will just fix it all. So she said, okay, I'm down with this. Have Mary Jane.
Little did the mom know that the boy wasn't talking about a girl right now. Then he said, mom, I want you for now. I'm being formulated. Discover the realms of the unknown with Mary Jane.
After all, you'll be away for the weekend. Just please consent. I need a friend. I admit your puberty was somewhat strange.
Could this be fixed with Mary Jane? Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Mary Jane.
Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Mary Jane.
So I said, son, you want to permeate and discover the realms of the unknown with Mary Jane. After all the other boys that are your age, they only wake to medicate. Do I know her family? Do I know her family?
Is she even manly when she's out in society? She even bakes, she even bakes, these odd brownies. Mary Jane. Mary Jane.
Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Mary Jane. Mary Jane.
Then he said, I believe in her family. On her maternal side, there was a doctor, tetrahydrocannabinol, pure isomer-tranabinol. Mary Jane, whoo, Mary Jane, whoo. Never Shut Up is a production of the Sideways Society.
