 welcome to my channel. Now what I want to do is give you an intro to the next two videos coming up for ASMR math, which is sort of something we're going to build on a lot more for math and real life in the language of mathematics. And basically the series that we're going to create for math and real life is the mathematics of Sufi whirling. As far as how this series came to be, you know, what we plan on doing in these videos. Now in the summers, for me personally and for many other people, what we do is we seek out music festivals. And this year I ended up, you know, we had the chance to go to one music festival and we never go into this music festival. And it was sort of a music festival along the lines of the videos that I put out in 2007-2008 for another music festival that was happening on Vancouver Island as well. It's sort of an electronic music festival with DJs and performances and stuff like this mixed in with live band performances, right? And a lot of activities for people to do and a lot of art embedded in there, stuff like this. So it was sort of a three-day music festival with three different stages going on and a lot of different performances and courses and lectures and talks you could go to, right? And one of the performances that was happening at this festival was a friend of mine that was, you know, scheduled in to do sort of a transition when one band or one DJ was coming on and was transitioning on to another DJ or another band. And she had a little segment where she would do Sufi Warling, right? And for me, I've known about Sufi Warling, but I've never had the opportunity to see Sufi Warling live. And after seeing this thing, it just blew me away. She did two performances, two different nights. So the first night where I saw this performance, it just really just blew me away. And what I saw was a lot of patterns, right? A lot of mathematics involved in the Warling. And I had talked to her before and she had told me that Sufi Warling, there's a fair bit of mathematics embedded within Sufi Warling. So after talking with this friend of mine and watching her performance the first night, we talked to each other and, you know, I told her what I was doing for math in real life and she told me about the mathematics, all the mathematics involved in Sufi Warling. And she agreed to get together and, you know, have a little conversation, have a little interview and show us some of the Sufi Warling and talk to us about a little bit of mathematics involved in Sufi Warling. Okay. And the next two videos are those. Okay. The first one is going to be an interview we have, like we sat down. Her name is Furima, by the way. So Furima was kind enough to sit down with us and, you know, give us the lower down of Sufi Warling and tell us how this thing came to be and what it's all about. And in the next video, the one following and the second video, we're going to go into the studio with her and she's going to show us some of the different techniques, some of the different dances that she does specifically for Sufi Warling. Right? And one little bit of info regarding this series that we're putting together, which is going to, you know, overlap with the math in real life and ASMR math and kick into trigonometry. And if you've been following the trig videos after you've watched the interview and what we do in the studio, you'll see how that relates to trigonometry material that we're creating with cyclic functions and circles and whatnot. Right? And hopefully we can take some of the stuff that we do, some of the mathematics of Sufi Warling and overlap that with the trigonometry material and possibly create some exercise and solutions for the trigonometry content on the side and, you know, the booklet and exercise and solutions that we're going to create for that material. Right? But since Frima lives in California and I live in British Columbia, what we've agreed to do is whenever she comes into my area and she comes into my area at least once, twice, possibly three times a year to do either performances of festivals or hold sort of retreats, dance retreats, maybe Sufi Warling or other types of dance. Right? So she's agreed and we've decided that whenever she's going to come into town, we're going to get together and we're going to build a little bit more content for the mathematics of Sufi Warling and see how we can overlay that with basically a series that we're going to create for math and real life and overlap that stuff with the stuff that we're going to do for trigonometry. So that's where we are with this with this series, the mathematics of Sufi Warling. That's what we've done so far, which is basically shoot a video. Me and Frima have talked a fair bit about it and we've gone into the studio and shot some video of some of the dances that she does. Hopefully next time when she performs at the festival, maybe I'll get a chance to shoot that as well and show you how this looks like with the live band playing and with the lights and magnificent costumes and just the atmosphere of the festival, of the performance and we'll see what we can do to build the content slowly to introduce some of the concepts that we will talk about in the interview and what you'll see happen in the studio and some of the stuff that we've already talked about in trigonometry. So there's a lot of overlapping here in the layering and that's sort of the long-winded introduction to the next two videos coming up and it's going to be an open-ended sort of series discussion and hopefully we can build it up over the next year, two, three, four, however long it takes to sort of delve deep into this idea, this concept and understand well what happens, how the mathematics of Sufi whirling are related, how that overlaps. I hope you enjoy and I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye for now. One thing I forgot to ask you during the, when we were talking was you mentioned that some people whirl for hours. Yeah, yeah. Well it's, there is a saying that only whirl for 72 hours. So yeah, people you can whirl for 24 hours and once you're into that state of ecstasy you're in sleep mode. So it could be dangerous because you can fall into that sleep mode and so someone has to wake you up but you have to also train your brain to wake up because once you go into that sleep mode then you can go on and on and on. Yeah. So there, yeah, people do whirl for hours and hours and hours. Wow, wow, wow. That's cool. I mean four or five hours is nothing. Four or five hours is nothing. No, people will whirl for like I said like 12 hours to four hours. Wow, wow, incredible, incredible. What's the longest you've done? The longest I've done is four and a half hours. Four and a half hours of whirling. Yeah, four and a half hours. Wow, wow. Straight. I mean I have done where like I would take a break for 10 minutes, come back or wait for you know five minutes and I went on for like almost 12 hours. Yeah. But straight without stopping four and a half hours. Four and a half hours of whirling. Wow. Yeah. What was it like when you came out of that? It's very different. I mean sometimes you cry because like you're very emotional when you come out of it. Sometimes you're very happy. It really depends on what you see because you start to see images. You start to hear things. Everything just becomes, you're completely, you know, you know, it's, I can't explain. Yeah, it's like being high and you come out of being high and like, okay, I'm in this reality and I don't like it. Yeah, yeah. You're boring. You're bearing your soul. All your guards are down. Yeah. All your walls are down. It's, I mean in the Sufi tradition they do say it's like death. You're dead and then you have to come back and sometimes dead people don't like to come back. You know, they don't like to come back. They like what they see there. So it's, it's a, it's a state of, state of being. So sometimes I get very emotional and I just cry. Or sometimes people have said that I was screaming while I was whirling. Some people said that I've been laughing when I was whirling and I don't understand, I don't know any of this. You don't remember? No, I don't remember any of this. But there are videos of me that I'm clapping and dancing while I'm whirling and I don't remember any of it. Wow. There's, I mean, like I said, people said you were screaming and saying names and I don't remember any. So you're in a sleep mode. In a trance, in a trance. That's cool. That's where the shamanistic aspect comes from a lot. And spiritual, all spiritual mythology and contemporary religions, I guess. I forgot to tell you about the head, but we can do that later. And then the, the line of the head connected with the heart and going Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I've seen, that's some of the ones I've seen, right? The head is, is one of the most important part of the body that actually makes you go into trance.
