Byron’s Right Brained Puzzle
Does it take your right brain to solve the puzzles in the Secret a Treasure Hunt Book?
One of the main questions I get about the Secret a Treasure Hunt Book, is how come we all view images and words so differently? We look at the credits in the Japanese version and Byron notes specifically "Right Brained Development Quiz", as a source for the book. But why? In the 80's (much to a lot of debate and current debunking) it's believed we are one of these two types of thinkers. If Byron planned on Right Brainers to solve the puzzles, then are we using the wrong hemisphere? Is there a connection to the way you process and decipher your theories, trying to solve the puzzles? Let's read about it here, and take a quick quiz to see where we land. It may help us in deciding when to use math or when to use emotion.
New York City- Meeting Josh Gates and Ben Asen
What happens in New York- winds up here!
I just uploaded a video for my Patreon’s giving all the details of my meetings with Josh and Ben. I talk about where I went and what we discussed. How the cities are NOT confirmed, and why the show is not being allowed into parks due to the destruction of treasure seekers and more.
St. Louis- the city, St. Louis- mutilating Saint.
St. Louis the city- St. Louis the tyrant King
The city of st. Louis os a bustling one. Having a long history, dating back to 1764, when Pierre Laclede started his French fur trading post along its banks of the mighty Mississippi. The city was founded by the French in Spanish territory in 1764. The name comes from the French King “Louis IX”. Louis IX or “Louis the 9th” has quite a past. Its hard to keep the French Kings straight since there is approximately 18 of them! But this guy, St. Louis the 9th is mentioned in the Fair creature in The Secret a Treasure Hunt book by the name “The Spirit of St. Louis”. It states in the book of Louis the 9ths “Piety”, in a lampooning way. Sometimes it’s hard to stomach our society and what was revered in the past. Louis may have been pious to some. But I, for one, can hardly agree with this title. It’s often a sad moment when we look back and see our history’s so “white washed”. Why would Byron need to teach us about the “REAL” St. Louis? Probably because of the horrendous, and heinous ways the REAL St. Louis treated people that were not Catholic.
From the Jewish perspective, living in 1226 to about 1270 in France, would’ve have been brutal. Under Louis the 9ths rule, any person who was not Catholic were considered blasphemous. Jewish people, in particular faced mutilations of their tongues and lips. The Rabbi’s were forced to sit through Catholic Sermons. These people had their land seized, and given away by the King. As the King noticed the prosperity in Jewish banking, he seized those assets too. They curfews of when they could be out in the public area and if they were to go out, they were forced to wear yellow badges on their arms to identify them. Can you imagine? To top it off Louis burned over 12,000 Jewish History books and Talmuds. Which to this day would’ve been wonderful history for the people and their faith to have had all these years. Good old Louis- before he died of severe diarrhea- (or Dysentery in medical terms), on his 2nd crusade, had acquired what was perceived as Christs “Crown of thorns”. which is still in display at the Paris cathedral of Notre Dame. His good buddy Baldwin the 2nd of Constantinople brought it to him, along with relics of a supposed cross of Christ.
I’d like to appreciate the good things This guy has done- we’ve had impressive Gothic architecture inspired by him. A lot of the Gothic architecture and stain glass designs we can attribute to him. But I am thinking that’s about the only thing. We would be hard pressed to change the name of St. Louis today in America. It is the city known for Blues music, Paddle wheel boats and Mark Twain stories, General Robert E. Lee worked very hard to change the flow of the river to keep it a port city. Ulysses Grant freed his one and only slave there, and Dred Scott’s case for his own freedom, at the courthouse, would set a nation on its way to justice and equality for all. St. Louis has got Budweiser, and the amazing Arch, credit to Tommy Jefferson for his Louisiana Purchase and the scouting Lewis & Clark for their send off there. We have made St. Louis its own national treasure, even if it is named after a mutilating tyrant.
Is the picture we see, really what we are seeing? Spanish Painting Pondering’s.
What does the helmet mean in the context of the Spanish painting in “The Secret a Treasure Hunt”? Read, subscribe, watch and learn, here!
When I began this book The Secret a Treasure Hunt, I found myself “mentally swimming in circles”. I had to start somewhere, but where? The easiest thing to do, I thought, was to start breaking down the words, and the paintings. I have done just that. Chances are, if you are here, you are working on the same things. Here, let me help! What I have found with the paintings particularly is this: “Some objects in the paintings are CLOSER than they appear”. Sound familiar? Well, kind of? Reminds me of the imprints on side view mirrors on automobiles. But the reality is this is VERY true when scanning the images in the book. Let’s take the Spanish painting for example. In the next video I break down the possibilities of the conquistador on the mountain in the painting. He is wearing a Spanish “Morion” helmet. HIs clothes resemble the patterns of the Swiss Guard enlisted by Pope Julius the 2nd to protect the papal home at the Vatican. Why use this imagery? Watch the video on “Spanish Morion” to see what the symbolgy means, and where it can lead you, to search!
