I got this, it’s a damn good (for the price!) stand in for the red dress! Ababalaya Women's 90s Retro... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W1Q3D18?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I got a sequin UFO patch too! The patch I got is bigger than hers, but I think that’s ok/kind of fun ;) but you can check measurements and find one smaller probably. I bought mine on eBay but there are some on amazon too!

This is based on a book that was written by Leslie Kean -- a well known journalist. There's no connection to The OA.

I went to Amazon and searched “full reflective hoodie” and went though the results and looked for a good reseller. Fairly certain it’s a mass knockoff from Aliexpress, because there are plenty of the same style from different resellers. I’ll link mine here to give you an example.

And I think they run very small. I got an XXL because i love my gigantic hoodies.

this is the one I bought

> every time someone tells a story they make embellishments or change / leave out details.

My work has to do with matching narratives up with truth, and I do this every day. A key factor in lots of conspiracies is the reliance on early reports as reliable accounts. We all know eyewitness accounts suck, trauma fucks with your ability to record memory, and people are terrible at relaying a story accurately. So OA being an unreliable narrator in part is because of the nature of her experience.

"Plant bought the 19th century oil painting on the front of the album at an antique store. It was put on a partly demolished home for the cover shot, which Plant says represents the change in balance and is a way of saying we should look after the earth."

I have only read one book by Hariku Murakami, After Dark, but I was actually reminded of it while seeing the show. Maybe he's worth looking into.

And probably quite out of the left field, but Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It is very similar to season 2 in that it involves the ability to travel to multiple dimensions and encounter different versions of yourself based on forking paths in your life choices.

And I think they run very small. I got an XXL because i love my gigantic hoodies.

Thanks! I got the dress from Amazon and the patch from Etsy.

Life Pro tip: I got a little lazy and Ironed the patch first vs pining and sewing. The glue didn’t hold up, but the iron kinda discolored the fabric a bit around the patch. I had to sew it the end anyways, so be warned, lol.

37 is definitely significant on the show and they lucked out here, you can buy a puzzle that ends at 37 right on Amazon so they didn’t customize it

Labyrinth Wooden Maze Game with Two Steel Marbles, Puzzle Game for Adults, Boys and Girls by Hey! Play! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QNFNN3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_G0VEHM3PB71PNP8RFX1S

Some pop culture background on the wolf sweatshirt.... there was a phenomenon with Amazon reviews where people started writing really involved fake reviews for a sweatshirt illustration of wolves on it. Then prior to The OA, hipsters started wearing them....notably Thurston Moore from the influential art band Sonic Youth was seen photographed in a pretty similar one (but I'm sure there are more examples)...Urban Outfitters carried several versions for a while too.

A listing for the original wolf shirt... https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Three-Wolf-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A

NY Times article about the shirt.....

Think a T-Shirt Can’t Change Your Life? A Skeptic Thinks Again https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/25/nyregion/25towns.html

Will be following. But look what I've found here: http://osxdaily.com/2016/05/07/fix-mac-showing-wrong-time-date/

> Rarely, Mac users may notice their clock is displaying the wrong system time. This typically occurs after a Mac has been shut down for an extended amount of time and hasn’t connected to the internet in a while, but it can also happen with traveling across date lines, between regions with daylight savings time observations, and in other situations as well.

https://castbox.fm/vb/138701089 You might enjoy this podcast interview that Brit and Zal did right as part 2 was being released. It's an interview on the datebook podcast, which I think is related to a San Francisco based newspaper. They talk about scouting the area and going to a noise show. It's around 30 minutes or so and pretty interesting.

The Keeping Room was the first thing I saw her in. It's not mystical, but it's almost a dreamlike take on the end of the Civil War for women left behind.

I’m pretty terrible and erratic when it comes to keeping a blog lol, but I have the collection of poetry on Amazon here, it’s also on Kindle as well but for some reason they’re not connected on one page: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Ascension-Epic-Poems/dp/1976092051/

I am loving this whole area of thought and investigation! I have ordered the book...

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143037889/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_01MMCb3KB7G7D

And it’s all true to an extent.

That section appears to be influenced by the research and experience that the book below was based on. Highly recommend it - you’ll never look at a tree the same way again!

Let's shoot for Sunday afternoon/evening (March 24). That will give us all time to watch it. Does anyone know how to create meetups in a subreddit?

Weather.com is projecting the high to be 55 that day, but let's touch base on a location. I'm thinking Battery Park picnic would be awesome if it isn't too unbearable. Or maybe we could all meet at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central, haha.

I'm definitely open to suggestions! :)

True but dying to dimension jump which is known here as respawning and doesn't require the movements but instead a lot of manifestation isn't the only way,

you can script what kind of reality you want to jump too soo your subconcious can pick out a suitable one for you and you can leave a copy of your Conciousnes so you won't die instead, think of the copy or clone if you will your consciousness splitting off into another you in the way reality splits off Into different ones each with different variables except here it's your Conciousnes splitting off and when you intentionally jump a copy of your Conciousnes is left in your place

You can even script what you want your clone to be like and you can also script that your family is the same to this reality as well

You should also look into r/DimensionJumping and join the amino desired reality groups

Here's an invite link to one of the groups with the biggest member number which is currently at 78,681 members: http://aminoapps.com/invite/1ZCN57JN1Q

So us dimension jumpers are not as small of a community as you think

I know Brit wrote an article entitled “Harvey Weinstein and The Economics Of Consent”, in which she detailed a lot about how women in the film industry are victims to male gatekeepers, who only offer them cheap, vapid initial roles, usually in exchange for sexual favors or gratification. Her experience of taking her feminine power back into her own hands to tell the stories she wanted to, and thus to give others the same opportunity, is something that resonated with her and I think led to the creation of The OA.

She also talks a lot about her personal experiences in life on the Talk Easy podcast here. You can sort of tell in the discussion what influenced her. It’s about an hour and a half long, but so worth it (also there’s no spoilers about the show or Part 2, if I remember, aside from a possible trailer sound clip).

There's no 'merchandise' we suspect. It's just some photoshoped images and a checkout. Traffic is driven in by dirty SMM. Please also report that site to shopify.com - platform he uses to accept payments.

Great read and fits with this podcast of Brit (the one talks about her watching Silence of the Lambs alot)

I've really enjoyed this content. I'm pretty close to being convinced that the hypercubes are indeed a purposeful reference by the creators (although perhaps not "the underlying mystery of the show"), and that's about as strong a statement of belief as I can make about any theory at this point.

So in response to your edit, and hoping that we get more good content from you: Here is a good reddit formatting guide.

I also think many redditors would encourage you to use imgur.com for uploading images, since it works particularly well with this site.

If you don't have Reddit Enhancement Suite, I also recommend using that as an extension on your browser, since it really helps with comment and post formatting among other things.

On a personal note, I don't ever engage with youtube videos on the same level as text, although I know lots of people prefer them.

I got this one and thought it was a great option for the price! Plus free returns if you have Amazon Prime.

Ababalaya Long Sleeve Wrap Velvet Long Formal Dresses Cocktail Dress https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W1Q3D18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_3MT8J2MEGRPDAS24A8XJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Has anyone done a deep dive on F. Scott Fitzgerald? He used tons of color analogies in his writings.

https://www.amazon.com/F-Scott-Fitzgerald-Collection/dp/1839407514/ref=asc_df_1839407514/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459527104463&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5604359764397318595&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&...

I looked to see if they customized the game, and it looks straight off the shelf with no changes, pretty sure it’s this one (both end at 36)

Labyrinth Wooden Maze Game with Two Steel Marbles, Puzzle Game for Adults, Boys and Girls by Hey! Play! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QNFNN3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E0W0PN07E4QS4CZ3Q5WK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I don't recommend the book but this link on amazon allows you to "look inside" and see the author's opinion on the definition of what he considers a game compared to a puzzle in the first chapter.

(Spoilers) In trying to put everything in a neat little box of labels he considers a contest a type of puzzle, and a game a type of contest, which does fit with the OA quote.

I noticed that there are two for sale, and they are quite similar, but the one she was actually wearing in the show says "blue" in the description and is about a dollar more on amazon. It is also only available on amazon in 2x right now, just when I was ready to buy it. I would be swimming in it and I want to wear it out to promote the show. Totally bummed about it.

This is the one from the show: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XIHOIL4/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3TKUBCADEEVXK&psc=1

And its almost twin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00II7DJZA/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I just ordered a thin tip one off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Faber-Castell-Artist-Brush-White-India/dp/B07GY2PZTF/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=white+fabel+castle+pen&qid=1570104654&sr=8-4-spell

That post is ridiculous. It's stuff written out of thin air. There's a scientific basis and then there's a whole pile of crap made up all around it. This is exactly what Carl Sagan warned for in his book The Demon Haunted World. It is a must read if you love science:
https://www.amazon.com/Demon-Haunted-World-Science-Candle-Dark/dp/0345409469

And yes, of course it's possible that we're living in a simulation, but if this is a simulation and our world is being simulated in our heads (kind of like in The Matrix) then it is not logical for there to be any common things or backdoors we can use to get out of it or even prove we're in it.

If this is a simulation and all matter is being simulated, then it seems like we have actually evolved from the beginning of all of it in simulated matter, where time/entropy is a computer or a driving force, and where we're actually nothing but data, and it would make no sense at all to put a planet "in the middle of it all".

Btw there is actually very interesting movement going on scientifically and philosophically around finding the origins of our existence, things like quantum gravity, research of the role of entropy, stuff about the information universe (how we're all built up out of exactly the same atoms; only different is arrangement).

Planets or rings around planets however are no part of this all or any scientific theory. I recommend to read the Carl Sagan book, and to be and stay critical of everything.

I had the QR code zoomed in on my phone and my husband used a QR scanner app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamma.scanon) and then it gave us the number. Here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/wyDYosc

please stop already.

Send mustard , that's the new plan!

The recently published book "The Gnostic New Age" is a good introduction: https://www.amazon.com/Gnostic-New-Age-Countercultural-Revolutionized/dp/0231170769 It is written by one of the leading scholars in the field of biblical studies, and also has many references to gnostic themes in movies like The Matrix, The Truman Show and others.

Probably this book

I posted about the beer a few days ago. Amazon has a few items with that logo but the beer itself seems to not or no longer be around.

Is it this one

Edit: at least my husband loves shopping at Costco

Also, Audrey Ebbs is the name of one of the associate producers. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5706064/

There are books called The Book of Angels (with other authors), and The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences is pretty similar to the Encyclopedia of Near Death Experiences: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Book-Near-Death-Experiences-Ultimate/dp/1937907201

I'd imagine that the authors likely used some of these books themselves in writing the show.

You can also get it from Amazon for 40$ (as of right now). Seriously considering buying it... >_<
