So we've decided to do something radical and new today, which is to talk about

movies as artifacts of culture and find the way that actually the mystery, the goddess, the all that is is actually whispering and

speaking through the text of the movie itself, like it's a sacred text, like it's a mystical text, and we're covering

the trilogy so far of Guardians of the Galaxy, which is one of my favorite series and is so rich with

different themes and different areas that we explore. So I'm here with my brother, Mark Gaffney, and if you've watched all three of these

Guardians of the Galaxy films, you're going to be blown away by this podcast. If you haven't watched them, you may not be able to

follow in this may not be the podcast for you, but I encourage you guys to watch the films, share it with anybody who's

watched the films because you'll understand and enjoy and celebrate the deeper meanings that you might have felt in your body when watching, but now we get the

opportunity with the master, Mark Gaffney, to kind of unpack what these are whispering to us and what culture is whispering to us in its own stage of

evolution and development. So if you've watched Guardians of the Galaxy, you're going to be blown away, and if you haven't, you're going to be

confused and there's a bunch of spoiler alerts. So I hope you guys enjoy this and we're going to be doing many more of these. We've got the Lord of the rings coming. So this is a new

exciting thing that we're doing. And if nothing else, we're having a blast doing it. And I hope you guys enjoy it just as much as we do. But before we get started a word from our

sponsors, first up, we have Mudwater. Now Mudwater is one of my favorite products that are out there in the health and wellness better for you space. It's a coffee

alternative. It has four adaptogenic mushrooms. It has cacao, Ayurvedic herbs. And it's really a coffee alternative. It has a fraction of the caffeine of a cup of coffee, but I do like a little bit of caffeine and Mudwater just hits that sweet spot. It doesn't have a bunch of sugar or anything in there. So if you want to add your own sweetener, you're welcome to or if you're mixing it in a shake or a warm morning drink like I often do. It's just really a kind of a perfect product. And it's no surprise that Mudwater has done so well as a company because it's just a

phenomenal and phenomenal all the way up all the way down, not only from the quality of ingredients, the flavor profile, and also just the customer service and the ethos of the company itself. I am a huge fan. And again, cacao and chai for Mud and a microdosa caffeine. They got lines main, which helps with cognitive support and alertness.

Cordisapse, which is the flagship ingredient in our product, Schrumtek Sport, from Onnet. It's got chaga and Rashi to support your immune system and offer that little bit of calm that comes with the Rashi mushroom.

Tumric is also one of those great products for any kind of stiffness or soreness you might be feeling and cinnamon, which is an ingredient that's very close to my heart. That's also has a bunch of antioxidants. And actually in high enough amounts can help with blood sugar regulation. I talk about that a bit in my book on the day.

So Mudwater is just one of those things that if you're curious about a coffee alternative and you like making delicious beverages, whether they're smoothies or hot drinks, I highly recommended its whole 30 approved 100% USDA organic non GMO gluten free vegan kosher certified. It's got all the goods. So go to mudwater.com slash amp that's M U D W T R dot com slash amp and use the code Aubrey to get 15%

And now an uninterrupted podcast with Dr. Mark Gaffins.

All right, Mark. We are here, my brother. We are. And we are here because when we talk, we often talk about how in our movies and in our stories in these myths.

Right. Culture is speaking, but there's also a voice that's speaking behind culture. It's a voice of truth of amuse that comes from a higher order mystery intelligence.
