Petra Velzeboer is a renowned author, psychotherapist, TedX speaker, and CEO of mental health consultancy PVL.Born into a notorious cult ‘'The Children of God'', Petra was raised in a strict environment where individuality and self expression were discouraged. Travelling the globe, she learned firsthand about cultures and people but was sheltered from education, books or friendships outside of the community. Raised to believe the world was going to end, she took her birthright as god's endtime soldier seriously, turning a blind eye to cruel and unusual punishments, abuse and the fact that the world never did in fact, end.Leading a double life for many years, she knows firsthand the toll it takes to wear a mask of conformity on one side while leading a hedonistic escapist life on the other. Eventually the cracks started to show, falling pregnant at 22 and moving to London to start a new life with a boyfriend outside of the community. Life had enabled her to escape and offered up a new path. In this episode of the show we take a deep look into Petra's journey, from her time in the cult, to her life afterwards and the struggles she faced along the way, eventually leading her to a life of service and leadership.Enjoy the show, subscribe and let us know what you think!To get in touch with Petra or to find out more about a few of the things we discussed:- Petra's Website: https://www.petravelzeboer.com/ - Petra's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petra-velzeboer/ - Petra's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petra.velzeboer/- An Apple Documentary on the Cult: https://tinyurl.com/3ux67sjw - An Amazon Documentary on the Cult: https://tinyurl.com/5n8b8ft4 - A Podcast on the Cult: https://tinyurl.com/2b7hcj6t - A Second Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3p5886rw Podcast Chapters:0.00 - Trailer0.51 - Intro1.34 - Petra's Childhood and Upbringing3.44 - The Children of God Cult5.35 - The Cult's Beliefs7.45 - The Tyranny of the Majority13.11 - Looking into the Abyss16.40 - Petra's Problems After the Cult19.05 - Victim Mentality23.15 - Working with Fear28.17 - Think About Other People!31.25 - Petra's Relationship with Religion and Spirituality Now34.40 - Psychedelics and Mental Health37.36 - The Importance of Creativity!40.45 - Some Actionable Takeaways48.57 - Setting Boundaries51.02 - What Advice Would You Give to Yourself as a Teenager?53.12 - Outro(Michael Hanson is the host of the COSMIC Bridge podcast that inspires its listeners to find their higher purpose and connect their material and spiritual life through stories of breathwork teachers, shamans and stroke survivors.

Many years ago, before the war, I used to read fiction books. Then I switched to nonfiction and almost stopped reading anything fictional. Because here since 2014, from the beginning of Russian invasion, we have been so many tragedies, so much pain and despair that there was no point in sympathizing with book characters. How can one take fiction seriously? When thousands of real life King Lears are abandoned on the streets, scores of Odysseuses are left far away from where homes and countless Ophelias are driven mad by despair. I stopped reading fiction a long time ago, but some of those books still live in my memory. For example, I vividly remember Kurt Vonnegut's book, 'Slaughterer House Five' or 'The Children's Crusade'. Vonnegut a US Army soldier during Second World War was captured by the Germans and sent to Dresden where he survived with the allied bombing of the city. He escaped death by hiding in one of a deep underground meat lockers an experience that inspired him to write the book about his war experiences. Hence the first part of the book title- Slaughterer House five. The second part about the Children's Crusade is a quote from Vonnegut's wife. She described her husband and his comrades' participation in the war emphasizing where youthfulness when they went to the front. Most of them barely reached adulthood with they were in fact, children sent into real bloody war against the monstrous evil. In our army too, there are very young girls and boys, but they are minority compared to the older soldiers. Men under 27 years old are not conscripted for war, those younger when that age come to the Army only as volunteers. However, even among the volunteers, the majority are people over thirty or even forty. At 43. I am one of the youngest in my unit, we have people aged 50 and even 55, and all of us volunteered. We have been at war for over 700 days and no one knows how much longer it will last. In our free time conversations about what each person will do after the victory used to be common. However, these discussions now contain fewer concrete plans and more abstract dreams. People no longer talk about finding specific jobs or taking certain positions. They just express a desire to live, to see victory, and finally rest. In ordinary life, I did not feel my age. There was no occasion to. But in the Army you immediately realize that you are not 20 anymore. Your back, legs and neck constantly remind you that they are not very happy with the burden of body armor, helmet, and heavy backpack. You can't run as fast as the young ones, you can't jump as high, and you have to stop more often for a break. But you still do your job. Hundreds of thousands of adults and even almost old people do everything for the sake of victory, despite bad knees, joint pain, high blood pressure, and other unpleasant things that come with age. It's a crusade, not of children, but of their parents and grandparents. And I think that's how it should be. We must protect the younger generation, ensure their safe future. They should not die under shell and freeze in trenches or yearn far from home and familiar things. All of this is our responsibility now.

Increasing numbers of people in our society are starting to become aware of the real dangers of pornography – not just for the users of it, but also for the women who are often enslaved within the industry. Yet why are so few speaking up about it? In culture that is often passionate about justice issues why does this not get the attention it should? In this episode of Pod of the Gaps, Aaron, Andy and Michael seek to address that gap by taking an honest look at this issue. How can Christians speak out without sounding prudish or anti-sex? And how can we best help those enslaved by it (the ‘users' and the ‘used')? As ever, we explore this pressing cultural issue with the usual mix of theology, wit, and wisdom.

For every voice decrying the evils of pornography, there's another that says it's healthy, part of our freedom of expression, “sex positive”! So, which is it? LINKS This epidoe of Undeceptions is brought to you by Zondervan's new commentary on the book of Exodus by Christopher Wright. Meet our guest, Melinda Tankard Reist, and find out more about the Collective Shout Movement that she founded. Meet our other guests, Professor William Struthers and Simon Camilleri Read more on the protest of the 70,000 Korean women who held banners shouting 'My life is not your porn' in 2018 after a spike in the number of spycams found in female bathrooms. Read the New York Times explosive investigative report 'The Children of Pornhub', published in December 2020. In response to the NYT report, Mastercard and Visa withdrew their cooperation with Pornhub later that month. Read Melinda Tankard Reist's book, Big Porn Inc: Exposing the Harms of the Global Porn Industry Here's the research John Dickson lists off in this episode on pornography: A study by the Australian Research Centre in Sex Health and Society said it found that pornography enabled sexual confidence and positive community formation, especially for LGBTIQ+ people. A 2007 study published in the American Journal of Medicine found that the sex lives of 18 million men over age 20 were negatively affected due to excessive porn viewing. A recent study by the Kinsey Institute showed that people who use technology for sexting or webcamming gained a sense of emotional connection as well as sexual gratification from this contact. In a study conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, researchers discovered a significant association between reported pornography hours per week and gray matter volume in the human brain, and a drop in reactivity to sexual cues. A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour looking at Norwegian use of pornography found that couples who use pornography together tended to enjoy a more permissive erotic climate. But where only one person in the couple did, men who used porn were likely to experience problems with arousal, and women who used porn were likely to have increased negative self perception. In February 2021 in Australia, a former Sydney schoolgirl launched a petition calling for ‘sexual consent education' to be taught much earlier in schools. In this opinion piece, a high school teacher argues that 'Hardcore porn is to blame for disturbing teenage sex culture' This 'TraffickingHub' online petition to shutdown Pornhub has over 2 million signatures. Here's a [safe] link with more information on Pornhub's traffic numbers. Sexual health research stresses the ‘bonding hormones' released with sexual encounters. Check out this with Australian sex researcher, Dr Patricia Weerakoon on this subject. C. S. Lewis, the great Oxford literary don and public advocate of Christianity, once defended the biblical approach to sex against the call in his day (the 1940s) for more sexual ‘freedom'. His insights are as relevant today as then: I know some muddleheaded Christians have talked as if Christianity thought that sex, or the body, or pleasure, were bad in themselves. But they were wrong. Christianity is almost the only one of the great religions which thoroughly approves of the body—which believes that matter is good, that God himself once took on a human body, that some kind of body is going to be given to us even in heaven and is going to be an essential part of our happiness, our beauty and our energy. Christianity has glorified marriage more than any other religion: and nearly all the greatest love poetry in the world has been produced by Christians. If anyone says that sex, in itself, is bad, Christianity contradicts him at once … There is nothing to be ashamed of in enjoying your food: there would be everything to be ashamed of if half the world made food the main interest of their lives and spent their time looking at pictures of food and dribbling and smacking their lips. I do not say that you and I are individually responsible for the present situation. Our ancestors have handed over to us organisms which are warped in this respect: and we grow up surrounded by propaganda in favour of unchastity. There are people who want to keep our sex instinct inflamed in order to make money out of us. Because, of course, a man with an obsession is a man who has very little sales-resistance. God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. (C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity. HarperCollins, 1997, 81-82)

Charlotte Mason included a subject uncommon to most modern teachers: recitation. This podcast episode explains why she did, what it is, and how it differs from memorization. This is an essential in the feast and a great gift to the students and the people around them. Listen Now: If you are seeing this message, please make sure you are using the most current version of your web browser: Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Chrome "Children know how to read, but they cannot read." (Burrell, "Recitation") "Without them the best pieces of English writing lose half their value; the best paper read before a cultivated audience misses its aim; the best lecture is only half a lecture, and the best sermon is an opiate. With them all is changed; the light from the writer's soul is handed down from one generation to another. For good authors cannot die; the human voice is for-ever conferring immortality upon them. So magical is the power of a good reader that he can convey to an audience shades of meaning in his author which he himself does not suspect." (Burrell) "Recitation and committing to memory are not necessarily the same thing..." (Vol. 1, p. 224) "And if such appreciation can be born when a good reader and a good audience meet, is it not worse than madness for us to look on English literature as mere work for the study, mere dictionary stuff? It was meant to be interpreted by the voice of life; there is only half the passion in the printed page. If there were more good reading round English firesides, do you suppose that the masterpieces of English thought would be studied, as they often are, merely with an eye to the examiners' certificate?" (Burrell) "The child should speak beautiful thoughts so beautifully, with such delicate rendering of each nuance of meaning, that he becomes to the listener the interpreter of the author's thought." (Vol. 1, p. 223) "Knowledge is information touched with emotion: feeling must be stirred, imagination must picture, reason must consider, nay, conscience must pronounce on the information we offer before it becomes mind-stuff." (In Memorium, p. 4) "At this stage, his reading lessons must advance so slowly that he may just as well learn his reading exercises, both prose and poetry, as recitation lessons." (Vol. 1, pp. 204-205) "Perfect enunciation and precision are insisted on, and when he comes to arrange the whole of the little rhyme in his loose words and read it off (most delightful of all the lessons) his reading must be a perfect and finished recitation."

(Vol. 6, p. 244) "The gains of such a method of learning are, that the edge of the child's enjoyment is not taken off by weariful verse by verse repetitions, and, also, that the habit of making mental images is unconsciously formed."

The Disnerds return in full force, and this time around with yet another special guest in tow, our great friend Ria! We start off hearing all about Emily's recent trip to SPX and the Big Apple, which turns into a bit of a British-style weather whinge. There are Big Hero 6 trailers to dissect, as well as a certain Norwegian-themed ride taking its last few guests over the falls as this gets typed. We move on to (slightly) happier stuff, as Ria tells of her favourite fairytales and Disney adaptations, and round off with a look at the upcoming and uber-relevant Into the Woods.
