Welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends brought to you by my new novel ‘The Liberty Code”, available at book baby, amazon and on audiobook at barnesandnoble.com.  Annie Haslam  and Jim McCarty will be sharing an intimate discussion and visual presentation for the band history of  Renaissance followed by a Renaissance performance featuring, for the first time, members of both eras of the band performing their classic songs together. Renaissance had their farewell tour last October 2024 and did not expect to perform live again. Annie, who's been at the forefront of the group's story for 50 years, recently was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show! After much deliberation, the idea grew into something bigger when Annie contacted Jim McCarty to be a part of the show and then return to the full Renaissance lineup, the band he, initially, co-founded. A once in a lifetime event of Symphonic Rock at its finest! "All Renaissance and McCarty fans are invited to experience our coming full circle," Annie says enthusiastically, “that was destined to happen one day!"  PLEASE WELCOME TWO MUSIC LEGENDS…  Two of my favorite people ….Jim McCarty of Renaissance, Box of Frogs and original drummer and founding member of  The Yardbirds and Annie Haslam legendary songstress of symphonic rock's Renaissance to Interviewing the Legends.   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JIM McCARTY AND ANNIE HASLAM Visit www.jamesmccarty.com Jim McCarty Official website https://www.theyardbirds.com/ The Yardbirds Official site https://www.facebook.com/jim.mccarty.9/ Jim McCarty Facebook www.jamesmccarty.com/my-new-book-is-now-available/ Jim McCarty Author https://anniehaslam.com/annies-welcome-page/ Annie Haslam Official Website https://renaissancetouring.com/ Renaissance Official Website www.facebook.com/RenaissanceTouring Facebook www.twitter.com/MysticAndMuse Twitter www.youtube.com/user/RenaissanceTouring YouTube   SHOW SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 21 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=672 Saturday, Nov. 22 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=673 Friday, Nov. 28  The Newton Theatre, Newton, NJ https://skypac.org/the-history-of-renaissance/ Saturday, Nov. 29 Lansdowne Theatre, Lansdowne, PA http://www.etix.com/ticket/p/81373625/the-history-of-renaissance-featuring-annie-haslam-and-jim-mccarty-lansdowne-lansdowne-theate   THE YARDBIRDS DISCOGRAPHY Five Live Yardbirds (1964, UK) For Your Love (1965, US) Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds (1965, US) Yardbirds (aka Roger the Engineer) (1966, UK) Over Under Sideways Down (1966, US) Little Games (1967, US) Birdland (2003)   BOX OF FROGS Box of Frogs (1984) Strange Land (1986) STAIRWAY Aquamarine (1987) Moonstone (1988) Chakra Dance (1989) Medicine Dance (1992) Raindreaming (1995)   JIM McCARTY SOLO Jim McCarty has released three solo albums: Out of the Dark (1994)  Sitting on the Top of Time (2009) Walking in the Wild Land (2018)  He has also released live and compilation albums  Jim McCarty & Friends (2011)  and Frontman (2014)   RENAISSANCE DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums Year  Title 1969 Renaissance 1971  Illusion 1972  Prologue 1973  Ashes Are Burning 1974  Turn of the Cards 1975  Scheherazade and Other Stories 1977  Novella 1978  A Song for All Seasons 1979  Azure d'Or 1981  Camera Camera 1983  Time-Line 2001 Tuscany 2013 Grandine il vento Live albums Year  Title  Chart positions   Comments 1976  Live at Carnegie Hall 2002 In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan 2001 2011  Renaissance Tour 2011 – Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade & Other Stories Live in Concert (DVD and double CD set) 2016 Renaissance 2012 (recorded April 16, 2015) – Renaissance Live at the Union Chapel (DVD and digital only audio set) 2016 Renaissance Live at the BBC Sight & Sound (DVD and 3-CD set) ―      ―      ―          Contains radio/television broadcasts of three live concerts, one each from the years 1975-77.

The devastating 2022 hurricane that destroyed their Florida home was the last straw in a chain of traumas for Jason and Kimberly Ocana. A paramedic/firefighter for nearly 15 years, Jason loved being of service, but the work's constant physical and emotional challenges and the added rigors of being a first responder during COVID were taking a serious toll on his body and soul. After 17 years in corporate leadership, Kimberly had “achieved personal success.” But, in reality, she felt totally burnt out physically and emotionally, suffering chronic sickness, anxiety, and depression. On top of all this, both their young children faced major health issues. In this shared state of crisis, two weeks after the loss of their home, Kimberly asked Jason a simple but profound question, “What can we do to make you happy?” In a moment of clarity and courage, he answered, “move to Costa Rica,” a place he loved and a return to tranquility and deep nature. She was more than ready to make the pivot together. Thus was born Ananda Lodge Costa Rica, a plant medicine retreat center birthed in their collective commitment to save their own lives and make a positive impact in the world. From this point forward they would focus on healing trauma and helping others find their way to wholeness and peace. Ananda operates on the understanding that each individual, regardless of their background, has encountered various forms of trauma, whether big or small. This work is deeply personal. Kimberly survived sexual abuse while Jason carries the weight that only those on the front lines can know. Together, they made a choice to heal and transform themselves and others with the support of sacred plant medicine in a totally beautiful, safe, intimate and healing environment. Jason is particularly drawn to providing support for first-responders, veterans, healthcare workers and others who have dedicated their lives to serving others; Ananda is one of the few retreat centers with programs dedicates to these heroes. Kimberly knows the toll sexual abuse takes on the body and spirit and has created retreats for women that address these specific issues and more. One of their 2025 retreat guests said it best, "If you're feeling the call to do real inner work, to shed what's not yours, and to reconnect with who you really are ... Ananda is where you want to be."https://anandalodgecr.com/Have a Swan Dive to share?

Suatu ketika, saat Buddha sedang melakukan Pindapatta di Rajagaha, Beliau tersenyum saat melihat seekor babi betina muda yang kotor. Ketika ditanya oleh Yang Mulia Ananda, Buddha menjawab, “Ananda, babi betina muda ini dulunya adalah seekor ayam betina pada masa Buddha Kakusandha. Karena ia tinggal di dekat ruang makan sebuah vihara, ia terbiasa mendengar pengulangan teks suci dan diskursus Dhamma. Ketika meninggal, ia terlahir kembali menjadi seorang putri.”Buddha melanjutkan, “Pada suatu saat, ketika sang putri sedang menuju ke jamban, ia melihat belatung dan menjadi sadar akan sifat menjijikkan dari tubuh, dan lain-lain. Ketika sang putri meninggal, ia terlahir kembali di alam Brahma sebagai brahma putthujjana, tapi kemudian diakibatkan oleh beberapa kamma buruknya, ia terlahir kembali sebagai seekor babi betina.” Mengapa bisa terjadi hal demikian? Bagaimana cara melepaskan diri dari lingkaran kehidupan yang bisa menjadi tiada akhir ini menurut Buddha?Di kelas ini Ashin Kheminda menjelaskan makna kata demi kata stanza 334-343 dari Kelompok Stanza tentang Nafsu Keinginan (Tanhāvagga) hanya berdasarkan Pāḷi dan kitab komentarnya (Aṭṭhakathā).

In today's episode of the Divine Union podcast, Nicola sits down with Nikki Ananda, Sacred Feminine Embodiment Mentor, to discuss all things living the path of Union, with self, with God, in relationship, and with all of life. We dig into the path to Union through her teachings on the nervous system, yogic philosophies of the Koshas and energetic bodies, polarity, sacred sexuality, and so much more. This incredible conversation will leave you feeling inspired, expansive, and you probably will have to re-listen multiple times to glean it all, as it's filled with so much depth and wisdom in every teaching.Nikki's Instagram: @nikkianandaNicola's Website: nicolanavon.comSubscribe to her NewsletterInstagram: @nicolanavonYouTube Channel: @nicolanavonBecause we love to reward effort, email a screenshot of your review of Divine Union to info@nicolanavon.com to receive a free gift.

This morning, I was listening to Prabhupada, and he was talking about how there are different kinds of liberated souls: "muktānām api siddhānāṁ nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ su-durlabhaḥ praśāntātmā koṭiṣv api mahā-mune (SB 6.14.5).' There are millions and millions of sages and different kinds of people who have achieved liberation through knowledge. They've seen the impersonal Brahman and Paramatma. But it's the most rare that someone can understand Bhagavan -Kṛṣṇa. And it's only by association with pure devotees, He said, that only by understanding Bhagavan is there Ananda. When you have that relationship, you know you have a relationship. And then Prabhupada named the different relationships you could have: as a parent, as a lover, as a friend, as a servitor. Then he started saying, you could be the water in Vrindavan. And he was talking about how, once you have that relationship, then that ānanda is unlimited. It's not like, he said, in the material world, we think ānanda comes from some temporary pleasure, but that, he said, only lasts for a few minutes. So intelligent people, 'ye hi saṁsparśajā bhogā' they don't appreciate it at all. The sages, he said: 'ramante yogino 'nante satyānande cid-ātmani iti rāma-padenāsau paraṁ brahmābhidhīyate (CC Madhya 9.29).' That those who understand that real pleasure comes from Rama, association with Kṛṣṇa, that's the real happiness, and they don't need anything else. Once they taste that ānanda of Kṛṣṇa, then every other kind of pleasure is insignificant for them. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

“US GLOBAL CURRENTS Teeter-Totter Reality” An Astrological Perspective.“The point of balance on the teeter-totter involves give and take. At this moment in history, a caravan of outer planets begins shifting signs. We have never experienced such a concoction of changing energetic realms. Introduced with Pluto Aquarius ingress just six months ago in November followed by the north node shifting into Pisces mid-January. Modern outer planets, Uranus and Neptune, rule those signs. Both of which are part of this current caravan. Neptune entered the zodiac start at 0°Aries a day before the Solar eclipse. Traditional rulers Saturn and Jupiter for Aquarius and Pisces move into new signs next. Completing this ingress train, Uranus transits into Gemini early July. Astrology reflects the sky patterns as planets transit through zodiac degrees, changing angles to other planets. According to the Hermetic code life reflects that above so below and vice versa. In fact, the idea goes on to say that what we experience and feel within is reflected without or externally, and vice versa,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “The times in the USA and abroad echo these dynamic archetypal transitions. The cosmic map continues its predestined cycle orbiting. However, for us here on earth, the waves rock us into yet new patterns still unknown. Humanity holds free will unlike the determined cycles orbiting.”Join Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii featuring Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, Washington, and Robert J Pacitti of Penn Run, Pennsylvania.

Talking about the proof for the 6Rs and the arising of all forms.

(Cittaviveka) A review of the Channa Sutta (S.22:90) in which Bhikkhu Channa receives Dhamma through being open and welcomed - despite his bad reputation. The teaching he receives from Ven. Ananda points to the openness beyond affirmation or denial of conditioned existence. This instructs us to handle our intentions, interpretations and perspectives carefully without fixation.

What makes it holy to get really stoned? This is an unavoidable question in India, where smoking cannabis is banned but done by dreadlocked devotees. Meanwhile, weed smoothies are frequently drunk at religious festivals.The writer Karan Madhok investigates this paradox – along with many others – in his new book Ananda, subtitled “An Exploration of Cannabis in India”. It also covers lots of other subjects, including cultural history, indigenous medicine, politicised religion, the pleasures of travel and the charms of Varanasi.As we discuss, references to cannabis date back to the Vedas, though the custom of smoking it is relatively recent. Like criminalisation, that came from outsiders – and ironically countries that promoted prohibition, such as the United States, have since been at the forefront of legalisation.Things are now changing in India with commercialised hemp and Ayurvedic remedies, but recreational use is illegal. Our conversation considers the benefits as well as the drawbacks of cannabis consumption, and asks if the bliss to which Ananda refers might be found more sustainably by other means.
