Welcome to Creative Habits Podcast, Season 8, where we explore intriguing perspectives on life's mysteries. In this episode, we delve into the enigmatic concept of the Burnt Toast Theory – an idea that flips inconveniences into potential blessings, suggesting that mishaps might actually be saving us from unseen calamities.
The Burnt Toast Theory suggests that life's hiccups might be serendipitous interventions, akin to the belief in Pronoia – the notion that the universe conspires in our favor. Much like practicing gratitude, this theory serves as a mental health tool, fostering optimism and faith in life's benevolence.
We discuss how zooming out from life's small irritations can reveal a grander design, positioning us exactly where we need to be, when we need to be there. It challenges us to embrace setbacks, acknowledging that hidden within them could be protection from unforeseen disasters.
We spotlight a recent event involving an Alaska Airlines flight, a prime example where the Burnt Toast Theory seemed to manifest. Despite initial panic onboard, a detached panel caused no serious harm. Astonishingly, two passengers who missed the flight might view their inconvenience as a fortuitous escape from potential danger.
Through the Burnt Toast Theory, we explore the art of accepting interruptions as unexpected gifts, grounding us and fostering peace amidst life's chaos. Though it's difficult to prove a piece of burnt toast saved a life, this perspective encourages a more positive outlook.
Moreover, we dissect the theory's implications, examining how our experiences, relationships, and chance encounters might be part of a larger cosmic plan. Every missed bus or near-miss accident becomes a chapter in our life's story, shaping our journey and growth.
Join us as we reflect on the Burnt Toast Theory, embracing life's mishaps as essential chapters in our personal narratives, teaching us invaluable lessons along the way. After all, in the grand story of our lives, these experiences serve as guiding lights, guiding us through burnt toast moments, one experience at a time. C'est la vie.

**Introduction:**
"Welcome to creative habits podcast, Today, we explore the fascinating tale of Stanley Meyer and his invention of a water-powered car. Join us as we uncover the mysteries and controversies surrounding this revolutionary concept."
**Who was Stanley Meyer?**
Stanley Meyer was an American inventor and entrepreneur known for his claims of having developed a technology capable of running a car on water as a fuel source. Born in 1940, Meyer grew up with an interest in electronics and mechanics. He held various patents related to electronic control systems and, most notably, his invention of a purported water fuel cell. Meyer claimed that his water fuel cell could split water into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using a process that consumed minimal energy and produced a combustible gas (HHO or oxyhydrogen). According to him, this gas could be used as a fuel source for internal combustion engines, replacing traditional gasoline. He gained attention in the 1990s after public demonstrations of a dune buggy purportedly running on water. Meyer's claims about the water-powered car and the technology behind it sparked significant interest and controversy. Despite the attention, Meyer faced skepticism from the scientific community and was unable to provide scientific evidence or allow independent verification of his invention's viability.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/creative-habits/message -

Studies
University of Virginia, Jim Tucker.
“Some young children, usually between the ages of 2 and 5, speak about memories of a previous life they claim to have lived. At the same time they often show behaviors, such as phobias or preferences, that are unusual within the context of their particular family and cannot be explained by any current life events. These memories appear to be concordant with the child’s statements about a previous life.”
In many cases of this type, the child’s statements have been shown to correspond accurately to facts in the life and death of a deceased person. Some of the children have birthmarks and birth defects that correspond to wounds or other marks on the deceased person whose life is being remembered by the child. In numerous cases, postmortem reports have confirmed these correspondences.
Older children may retain these apparent memories, but generally they seem to fade around the age of seven. The young subjects of these cases have been found all over the world including Europe and North America.
For the past 20 years, Dr. Jim Tucker, now the director of the Division of Perceptual Studies, has focused mainly on cases found in the United States. His book Return to Life offers accounts of very strong American cases of young children who remember previous lives. In this book, Dr. Tucker writes about the now well-known cases of James Leininger, a young boy who had verifiable past-life memories of being a WWII pilot, and Ryan Hammons, who had verifiable memories of being a Hollywood extra and talent agent.
Types of Statements a Child Might Make
“You’re not my mommy/daddy.” “I have another mommy/daddy.” “When I was big, I …(used to have blue eyes/had a car, etc.).” “That happened before I was in mommy’s tummy.” “I have a wife/husband/children.” “I used to…(drive a truck/live in another town, etc.)” “I died … (in a car accident/after I fell, etc.)” “Remember when I …(lived in that other house/was your daddy, etc.)Quick discussion : between Phil and Handi
Main topic
Topic :Reddit user u/TapiocaTuesday asked the AskReddit community: "Parents, what spooky 'past life' memory did your kid utter?"
eplies :
1. "Back pre-pandemic, I was watching my friend's then–3-year-old for her and he saw a big military ship and he got this kind of faraway look, and said, 'I remember when my boat sank. There were so many sharks.'"
"I said, 'What?' He blinked and, said, 'What?' and then started asking questions about the boat. I mentioned it to my friend and she said, 'Yeah, he does that sometimes.'"
—Planksgonemad
2. "When I was very young and still unable to string sentences together, my mom and I were sitting at the dining room table. She was crying and I comforted my mother by telling her without any babbling or hesitation: 'It’s okay, I used to be your great grandmother, I’ll take care of you.'"
"I have no memory of this and my mom said I went back to my baby-like talk immediately after. She stopped crying, probably because it scared the shit out of her."
—AceTrainerEmily
3. "I used to watch my nephew when he was about 3 or 4. One day, he was at my house and pointed to a magnet of Arizona — it had a picture of the desert with rock formations. Kid pointed at it and asked where it was. He said he used to live by 'red rocks like that' with his first family."
"(The first family) all had straight, dark hair (his is blond and curly) and that he had a mom, a dad, and a brother, that is until he went too far into the desert, too close to dark, and got eaten by 'not dogs, not wolves, but smaller.' I said, 'Coyotes?' And he kind of mouthed the word and said, 'Oh, that's what you call them.' Then he was sad and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so we had lunch and that was the first and last time he mentioned it."
