 Prescott from N5D.com and N5D.net and you're looking live at the C.S.T. Key crystal classic. Check out this monstrosity. This is just the promotional part of it. We haven't even begun to look at any of the sculptures that are available. I've got a schedule of events that are happening right here. There's going to be two live bands playing throughout the day. One is playing right now. There's a bandstand right around the corner over here. There's some folks up there playing music under a tinted canopy. It's got done playing a Rolling Stones song and they're in between songs right now. But when I got here today, you could smell the red tide in the air worse than it was yesterday. And if anyone plans on coming down, what you want to do is to take an antihistamine because that'll help suppress the cough. Of course, once the red tide gets too bad, there's nothing you can do about it. There's not enough antihistamine that will stop you from coughing. The folks behind me came up from Venice, Florida, which is probably the next beach town south of the CSQ. And they said the red tide there was really bad. So it's moving up from the south towards Sarasota, unfortunately. So we can please send lots of prayers and positive thoughts and intents and love to our Gulf Coast waters. And to all the sea life that those waters contain. Let me see if I can flip this camera around. I'm not sure if I can do that. I guess I'm just going to have to flip the camera around. Let me try this. Okay, well that didn't work. Hopefully I'm still live. Can you guys still hear me and see me? Let me know. I see a seeker is out there watching right now. If anyone else is there, let me know. It looks like we have 21 people watching right now trying to figure out how to turn the camera around. I'm not sure if you can do it. But I just tried. Obviously it did not work. Anyway, yeah. So I do a bit of this and that. Thank you for joining. I want to give a little background history. I'd like to read a little excerpt from the article called Sarasota, Crystal City of Light. So Sarasota about an hour south of Tampa is a beautiful city. I'm a southwestern shores of Florida's Gulf of Mexico. It's home to Siesta Key, a pristine powdery white 99.9%. Fort's Crystal, Sand Beach voted number one of the top 10 best beaches in the world. Visitors or spiritual seekers know the moment they arrive in Sarasota that it's a different place. Many come to visit. Many who come to visit went home, sold their homes, quit their jobs and returned here to live. And I can attest to this and I'll talk about that a little bit later. I recently watched a video on YouTube by Ireland Clark called Queen Elizabeth Death, Rail King's Queens Rise, where Ireland talks about the Templar Holy Rail and mentions Sarasota is the most powerful place to be in the whole world. According to Aseana Dean, she believes a major star gate is here in Sarasota as well. Now continuing on with the article in early December 2007, Joe Moy M-O-O-Y had a series of dreams where Sarasota was identified as one of 22 future cities of light. Here's something I found really interesting is the numerology of Sarasota. From a numerology point of view, the beach, the city and the state all resonate at a high master vibration frequency. The master vibration numbers have the potential for influence on the world stage. Florida is a master number 11 reflecting brotherly love on a grand scale. So what they're saying is if you take the numerology of each letter like A being one, B being two, C being three, add them all together, this is what you get. So Florida is a master number 11 reflecting the brotherly love on a grand scale. Sarasota is a master number 22 reflecting the ability to manifest easily as the master builder, ambassador, and diplomat. C.S.T. Key, you guessed it, is a master number 33 reflecting the spiritual teacher of higher consciousness connecting with the over soul. Those who settled here know they were called to a shared vision with common purpose. Within days of arrival they found like-minded people whose talents and skills complemented one another. Moving easily through the community, bonds were forged, linuses were created, and spiritual connections were made, forming a cohesive spiritual wholeness in the community as though it had been fashioned from an invisible net. Many saw the city as a future crystal city of light that was waiting to be birthed. Two residents wrote poems dated 1993 and 2007 in which they described a future city of light on the day. Their words and visualizations were complemented in books like The Keys of Nidon, The Secrets of Immensity, and Calling Humanity, which describes Sarasota as a sacred city of the earth, or a portal or stargate city. Excuse me. As the article mentioned, a calling. Sometimes we get a literal sign on where we should be. I was born and raised in Pasco Mountains in upstate New York, and on one side of a particular building was a ghost sign. A ghost sign is an old, hand-painted, advertisement sign that's been preserved on a building for an extended period of time. This particular sign was there since the early 1900s, yet as a kid I never gave it a second thought. The sign was for Sarasota Flower, with Sarasota being spelled C-E-R-E-S-O-T-A, but being pronounced Sarasota. In 2002, my ex-wife went to Sarasota to visit her grandmother and asked my current wife at the time about us moving to Florida. We both said yes, and all of us moved here in 2003. I believe it was 2003, might have 2004 in that area. We ended up living in Riverview because it had the best school system for our daughter, Brittany, flash forward a few years. I was living in Apollo Beach where there's no Apollo and there's no beach. But I went to Fort Myers to visit my parents on my way home. I was nearly out of gas, so I went to the... The next exit was as luck would have it, fate and destiny would have it, C-E-S-O-T-A. So I pulled off there. You know, I've not been to other beaches here in Florida like this. St. Pete Beach, Clearwater, Fort Distorted Dog Park. You know, and I always thought that a beach was a beach, but I was wrong. Completely wrong. Anyway, so I pulled off on the C-E-S-O-T-A exit. I told my tank and decided to check out C-E-S-O-T-A. and see what all the talk was about. And it was a Sunday, which is traditionally a busy day. When I pulled into the parking lot, but as I was pulling in, a car was pulling out, giving me one of the best parking spots on the beach. Thank you universe, you know, right? So as soon as I got out and I sat foot on this 99.9% quartz crystal sand. It's amazing, isn't it? But as soon as I stepped foot on the sand, I knew I had to live here. And within a week I found home. The rest has been history. So when you go to a C-E-S-O-T-A sunset, you see a number of people lined up on the shoreline, as far as the eye can see. It often makes me wonder if they're Atlanteans trying to remember their past lives. And that brings us to the C-E-S-O-T-A crystal classic sand scoping festival on C-E-S-O-T-A beach where you can see the final creations of these majestic sand sculptures. Every November, C-E-S-O-T-A beach magically transforms itself into an outdoor art gallery. Artists have 24 hours to finish their sand creation, some of which are over 10 feet tall, which is about three meters high. Typically the crystal classic attracts around 60,000 attendees over four days. But this year due to Hurricane Nicole, it's only a two-day event for the first... And it's only a two-day event, I'm sorry. The C-E-S-O-T-A crystal sand master sand scoping competition. So for the first time in 2010, it has become one of the most important annual events in Sarasota ever since. So hey, let's take a walk around and check out what's going on here at this event. Let's look at some of these amazing, amazing sand sculptures. I'm going to flip the camera around and we can just appreciate all this. This is where we entered right here. So we're coming in and you're entering this with me. I haven't seen any of this yet, so you're all watching this live with me right now. The first thing is we have one honoring the veterans. Isn't that amazing? You can see all the vendor tents surrounding the event. Normally they used to be on the inside, but they moved the vendor tents on the outside. You can still see rain, the puddles of water from Hurricane Nicole. Well, it was actually a tropical storm by the time we got here. Now, here's something that occurred. And I think it's the first time this has ever happened is that all of the sculptors agreed that it doesn't matter who comes in first, second, or third. They're sharing the prizes amongst themselves. I thought that was so cool. So let's check out more. You can see the water. Hopefully I'm dropping my phone in it. Good job, brother. Let's go see what's on the other side of this. So do not cry. Your heart is where? Still messing up on this. Good job, brother. Thank you. An alligator with books. Reemergence. Phoenix Rising right here. This one's called Reemergence. It's beautiful. Why is he crying? My parents live in Fort Myers. Thank you. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you. Wow, isn't that something? So here we have a... If you're coming down. And if you're watching this in the future or whatever, this is what you can expect. Usually without all the water. But there's also an area for children. And you can find this any year if you come down here. Check this out. And some big kids too. And that's how you make an Egyptian pyramid, folks. The amateur competition. What? I used the word life, man, too. Amateurs. They did an amazing job. Check this out. This guy won first place. Unfortunately, he fell apart a little. Don't care. I love beaches. Dearly beloved. Wow. Little pun. I've come through and taken pictures of it. That looks like something I would do. It's just the seas. Here's another one. This is one I did. Rest in peace. I'm kidding. I have no idea. It looks like the rain got the best of it, though. Isn't that pretty? Done by an amateur. Right? Amateur. That looks pretty professional. Dog days. It's not cute. This guy has little tennis balls. Yeah. FMB. Fort Myers Beach. Showing support for the hurricane. It's great. Lion and lioness. Here's the one I did. There's plenty more to go. Just showing you what we got so far. Behind me, you can see all the vendors tents. Normally, every other year, I think before this, they've been on the inside, but this year, they're on the outside. So people on the beach, they don't have to necessarily pay to get in, but they can take advantage of perhaps buying something from one of the many vendors that they do have. Let's take a walk through there, and then I'll finish up on the other side of the San Sculpture Contest. Let's take a walk and see some of the vendors. But we got plenty more to look at. Hope you guys are enjoying this. Apologize for the eschewed cough that I may have due to the red tide. Okay, so now we're looking at Velia Vendor Row here, basically. All sorts of beachy stuff. Beachy art. All original sand castings. How about that? Little baby shirts. Hey, the kids got to be styling too when they come to the beach, right? This is beach life, baby. Candles, jewelry. Ladies will love it here. These beach dresses. What's wrong? Whatever they call them? That's a lot of pink. Cool signs. Beach, right, baby. Okay, there's still some more vendors to go. We're going to check them out in a second. And then we'll go back in and check out the other half of the San Sculpture Contest. That's more than 99.9%. Of course, crystal sand. Into the shirt, into the dye itself. And then when I nail them out, I sprinkle the shirts with additional 99.9% quartz crystal sand. So all of the N5D Quantum Tie-Dye T-Shirts are just loaded with energy. We can find them at N5D.net. And right now we have a sale pre-Christmas sale by to get one free. Just use the code N5D. I am the number 5D as in dog. So I came here last night and there was a band playing right here with my friend Scooter. Scooter of the Beach was here. I was hoping to come last night inside but it was, it was late and they were closing down. I wanted to look at the San Sculptures when they were all lit up. So anyway, we got more sculptures or more vendors right here. I'm going to have to sit down for a sec and stretch out my site, Attica. Yeah, this is the line from Siesta Key Beach. And you look at all the vendors that are out here. How cool is it? They get to work on this amazing sand. Here's some beach trunks. I'm going to definitely have to check that out. I'm always looking for really cool beach shorts. I don't know how many I have. Overall, enough for one for every day. But anyone that lives here, they probably have at least three or four myself having probably six or seven. Once that I particularly like the most. And the other ones aren't like the emergency bathing suits that I've accumulated throughout the years. And you notice that some styles come in and go ten years ago. There was more like a kind of board, but a broad checkerboard kind of. And before that, you had to palm the Hawaiian style. So you can tell how old people's bathing suits are by looking at the patterns on them. So, let's stretch out my set. Okay, a little carry-on. Snacks. You're live on Facebook. April's Ice Cream. I guess you'd like to like Christian. TK Grills. Tramp and Grits. Bowl for $18. Shrimp Bowl for $16. Chicken or Pork. $13. Shrimp Po Boy. $16. Large Fries. $7. Onion Man's Aid. Free Water over there. And over here you got more food. This is the tree. This is called the tree. A lot of people meditate here at this particular part. Because it's really the only tree on the beach. It's like a pine tree. People will stick like offerings in here. You can see like the feather and flowers. People will put like little gemstones in there and stuff like that. It's called the tree. I had a beach meet-up here back in 2000 before, you know what, with Todd Medina from Solagene. He and I combined in 5G and Solagene. Had a great beach meet-up here. So we have, alright, so here's that 2K grill. Cheeseburgers, Philly cheese sticks to contenders fries. You can find sausage, cheese curds. You see a venue. J&J BBQ. And tacos. So that concludes the vendor part. We still have more Sanskrit food to look at. While I'm in the shade, I want to just say I don't want to swim here at the tree. Go quick. The tree that we have on CSPB. I can only go back so far but I just think there's a bit of this and that and a lot of that. Less by the best. Let's go check out the other half of the sand sculptures. So we saw one half of the professional ones. We saw all of the amateur. We're going to check out the other half of the professional. Hope you're digging it. My bottle of water is still there. I'm going to grab that when I get done. So we came in. We did this row right here. Let me check that out. It's a beautiful day here in Sarasota. November 12, 2022. Hope you enjoyed your 1111 yesterday. November 11. Here we go. Let's begin this second half here. Good job, brother. Good job, man. This is really good too. Good job, man. I wonder if this chick had like a past life in the Renaissance period or something. This couple. It's pretty cool, huh? I'm going to walk through the water again. Join me for a splash. This must be the partner side where you have two people working. The other ones were solo, the first ones that we saw. It's kind of like that portal. Am I in here mid-state? During the solstice. That's what it reminds me of. Over here you can see all the ones that we already looked at before. In the eye of the beholder. How cool is that? A maze in. It's just a maze to get in and out. So much. So much going on. You have the music, food, vendors and more amazing works of art. These guys spent hours working on it. And yeah, you know, it costs $10 to get in. I think it's $8 for seniors and something like maybe $5 or $6 for children. It's worth it. You know, these guys, as I mentioned before too, you can vote on your particular favorite sculpture. But I think this is the first year where they decided, hey, I'm all going to pull it together and share. Fine. So whoever made it here will get part of the winnings everyone will equally. I thought that was really cool. So we're approaching the entrance slash exit. We could be heading out. But I'm glad I could share this experience with you. And for anyone that comes here in future years that might be watching this down the road, it's not usually that wet. It's never this wet. We just happen to have a childhood storm and hurricane going on recently. But it's always a great time and well worth the money. You get stamps so you can come back in if you want. You buy tickets early ahead of time and you won't have to wait for the lines. You have to do it more than 24 hours in advance. There will be other bands that come on. I think there's one band today and then tomorrow they're open until I think 10 until 5. And there will be two bands tomorrow performing as well. So I hope you enjoyed this experience. Just want to remind you guys that on N5G Quantum Tide I have a pre-Christmas sale going on. Buy two, get one free. I had an issue with the coupon plugin before I contacted the support there and I got everything worked out so it's working fine. Just use if you want to take advantage of the special buy two, get one free just use the code N5D at checkout or love N5D. Either one will work. N5D will be a lot easier. Just four characters. That's I and the number 5 DS and dog. And speaking of the quartz crystal sand yeah, I incorporate the quartz crystal sand into the t-shirts. All of the chakra colors have particular gemstones that align with each particular chakra. For example the root chakra has shungite in it and what I do is I sprinkle the quartz crystal sand into the dye the red dye for the root chakra which supercharges the shungite and that gets locked into the shirts when I tie dye around and before I send them out I sprinkle the shirts physically with more 99.9% quartz crystal sand. So all the shirts are loaded with entry. You got a great deal on them. I too get one free at N5D.net They make a great crystal expression. So yeah, it's a free crystal sale. Check that out. Anyway, live from quartz crystal quartz crystal sand sand contest. I don't know what is it called? I just call it the sand sculptor contest because that's what I call it every year and I come here every year but the siesta key crystal classic right? So live from here, siesta key teach and all these beautiful creations. My name is Greg from N5D.com and N5D.net sending you all infinite love and light peace.
