Podcasts about Dicken

Lian and Three Principles teacher Dicken Bettinger explore what mystics across every tradition have pointed toward for centuries, why the mind's natural state is already meditative, and how psychological suffering comes down to one root cause. Dicken Bettinger, Ed.D., received his doctorate in counseling psychology and has worked during his career as a licensed clinical psychologist. Dicken's entire career has focused on psychological well-being. In 1986 he met Sydney Banks, who shared a profound new understanding of the human mind called the Three Principles that unifies our connection to a deeper intelligence called wisdom and our psychological nature. In 2012 Dicken founded his private practice, 3 Principles Mentoring. He offers individual on-line mentoring, practitioner development, and advanced training programs. Dicken is the co-author of a book on the Three Principles called Coming Home: Uncovering the Foundations of Psychological Well-being and a forthcomig book, Life Can Be Easier Than You Think. For his full bio please see the shownotes linked below. In this episode, Lian and Dicken trace a thread that runs through Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and the work of Sydney Banks: that beneath the noise of a busy mind, there is a silence that has never left, and that every mystical tradition has been pointing toward the same thing, just using different language. Dicken shares how he spent years meditating four hours a day, recording dreams by flashlight, filling journals with techniques, before discovering that the meditative state he was working so hard to reach was already his natural condition, and everyone else's too. They look at what the mystics actually meant by "ecstatic," and how three piles of handwritten notes from teachers across every tradition began to self-organise into the same three movements: emptying, filling, and giving it away. From there the conversation opens into what Dicken calls the one problem of human psychological suffering, what it actually means to fall out of your head into the present moment, and why wisdom has always been understood as something that comes through us rather than from us. Listen if you find yourself thinking hard about how you feel, trying to work out what's wrong, and somehow feeling worse the more you think about it.

Michi trifft sich regelmässig mit seinen Dudes zum Pokern und Spielen. Sie schwelgen in Erinnerungen. Und das schweisst die Freundschaft. Oli erzählt kurz vom Jahrgängertreffen. War toll. Und niemand sah wie 55 aus. Würklich nöd! Eklatant war die Erkenntnis, dass viele sich getrennt haben oder in Trennung leben. Dann sprechen die Dicken über die eigene Arbeitsweise, über das Handling mit der Mailflut. Oli beantwortet jedes Mail praktisch in Real-Time. Und Michi lobt seine To Do Liste. Was wäre Michis Leben ohne seine To Do Liste?

Es waren einmal drei alte Frauen, die wollten zusammen einen Pfannkuchen backen. Doch als er so schön fett und golden in der Pfanne brutzelte, sprang er plötzlich hinaus und machte sich auf den Weg. Das Sandmännchen hat dir aber nicht nur diese Geschichte (erzählt von Axel Prahl) mitgebracht, sondern auch noch das Kinderlied "Ich hab dich zum Fressen gern" von Christian Dähn und Heiner Kondschak.

Mehr als ein Dutzend politische Bücher, ein Kochbuch, zwei Romane, Lob- und Klagelieder in Hexametern...aber eigentlich ist Armin Thurnher Journalist. Er hat 1977 österreichs "unabhängigste" Wochenzeitung "Falter" mitgegründet, war 40 Jahre Chefredakteur und schreibt dort noch regelmäßig seine "Seuchenkolumne".

Huhu, da sind wir wieder und das ist eine Folge, die sich gewaschen hat. Wortakrobatik ist das Zauberwort. Martin ist um diese Uhrzeit (5 Uhr morgens Aufnahmezeit) gar nicht wiederzuerkennen und das erste Mal seit Beginn des Podcasts ist sein Redeanteil höher als der von Stefan. In die Ecke gedrängt hat er den "Dicken". Wortgewaltig, argumentativ auf der Höhe. Es hat wirklich 208 Folgen gedauert, bis Stefan Ihn so weit hatte. Nun ist er angekommen, unser Scholle! Glückwünsche gehen raus, Meister Yoda Stefan und sein Schüler Martin

Oli ist in diesem Jahr an verschiedenen Podiumsgesprächen in der gesamten Schweiz, teilweise als Gast, aber auch als Host. Dann diskutieren die Dicken über den Kassensturz. Und sie sind sich einig, dass das Gerber Fondue immer noch das weltbeste Fondue – trotzdem der Kassensturz dieses Fondue als eher durchschnittlich bewertet. Und wenn sie schon beim Essen sind: Beide haben unabhängig voneinander den Tiefkühler vollbepackt mit Prep my meal – ein Insta-Hype. Und beide sind darauf reingefallen. Auch der Walliser Wein ist ein Thema. Wie muss man den Walliser Wein besser verkaufen? Politisch oder marketingtechnisch?

Zum Einstieg beschäftigen sich die Dicken mit den Steuern. Es geht um Sparsamkeit, Ferien, Laster und weisse Blumen. Ein abstruses Laster. Was ist Qualität? Was hat Wertigkeit? Für Oli ist die höchste Wertigkeit die emotionale Wertigkeit, wie eine stimmige deepe Beziehung. Michi meint, je mehr Materialismus wir uns anhäufen, desto weniger glücklich ist man.

Gianni Jacopino kehrte als Banker dem Finanzsektor den Rücken, kaufte eine altehrwürdige Beiz in Naters, eröffnete das «Gianni Genussatelier» und führte dies während fünf Jahren. Nun hat er das Lokal weitervermietet. Aktuell kümmert er sich um seine andere Leidenschaft: Glacé. Er produziert das weltbeste Glacé mit Walliser Zutaten. Verkauft dieses in seinem Geschäft in Brig, an Gastrobetriebe oder in den Oberwalliser Kinos. Und klar: Gianni nahm was zum Probieren mit. Nutella-Glacé und Cookie-Glacé. Die beiden Dicken mussten gleich duzendfach versuchen – bloss ein einziger Löffel reicht da wirklich nicht…

Die beiden Dicken sprechen wieder mal über die Arbeit im Walliser Parlament. In dieser Session soll das Gesetz über die Walliser Schulen behandelt werden. Zusätzlich auch noch das Gesetz für die Privatschulen. Oli ist klar für eine kooperative Existenz von Regel- und Privatschule. Kämpft mit den Kinderärzten für eine bessere Integration der Privatschulen. Kein leichtes Unterfangen, zumal sich die Unterwalliser Privatschulen uneinig sind. Anschliessend geht es um Risikominimierung bei Politkern, die eigene Hidden Agenda und um die Trägheit des Systems an sich. Dann gibt es einen Themen-Change zum Filmbusiness. Ist Netflix verantwortlich für die Verdummung der Menschheit?

Today on the Brain Booster we welcome back a wonderful guest in Dicken Bettinger. Dicken completely changed his approach to psychology after meeting Syd Banks and understanding the 'Three Principles' He then spent over twenty years studying with Syd and is now acknowledged as one of the world's leading teachers of the principles. During a very wide ranging conversation we discussed the ideas of Mind, Consciousness and Thought How we spend so much time trying to 'control' things with the intellect Trying harder Thinking more Being so involved with our thoughts Trying to 'change' our experience Why the intellect alone cannot solve our problems and issues Understanding what WISDOM is and how we can learn to trust it more A deeper intelligence when we are fully PRESENT A quiet mind that is FULLY PRESENT A KNOWING that cannot be explained How to access true WISDOM How the intellect creates tension and upset The limitations of trying to 'think' positive No human being can 'think' their way to contentment The 'NO THOUGHT' state What is it? How is it accessed A really wonderful conversation with Dicken to get you to consider just how much our intellect is trying to run the show. There is another way and Dicken explains beautifully what it is.

In dieser Folge geht es um einen der grössten Wirtschaftsstrafprozesse Europas: den Cum-Ex-Skandal. Gregor Münch ordnet für Duri Bonin die strafrechtlichen, rechtshilferechtlichen und politischen Dimensionen dieses Komplexes ein – mit besonderem Fokus auf die Rolle der Schweiz als Finanzplatz und im Rechtshilfe- und Auslieferungsrecht. Ausgangspunkt ist die Arbeit der deutschen Staatsanwältin Anne Brorhilker, die die strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung der Cum-Ex-Geschäfte jahrelang massgeblich vorangetrieben hat und scharf kritisiert, dass sich finanzstarke Beschuldigte mithilfe von Einstellungen und Geldauflagen faktisch aus Strafverfahren «freikaufen» können. Ein zentrales Thema der Episode ist der Fall Hanno Berger, einer der Schlüsselfiguren der Cum-Ex-Geschäfte, der sich lange Zeit in der Schweiz aufhielt und schliesslich an Deutschland ausgeliefert wurde. Dabei diskutieren Gregi und Duri unter anderem: - wie Cum-Ex-Geschäfte funktionieren und weshalb sie als systematischer Steuerbetrug eingeordnet werden - weshalb Fiskaldelikte traditionell nicht auslieferungsfähig sind – und wo diese Grenze aufweicht - die Bedeutung der doppelten Strafbarkeit im schweizerischen Rechtshilferecht - die Rolle der Schweiz als Transitstaat für Geldflüsse und als Standort einzelner Akteure - die Rechtsprechung des Bundesstrafgerichts und des Bundesgerichts im Auslieferungsverfahren - die Frage der Haft-, Reise- und Verhandlungsfähigkeit aus Sicht der Verteidigung - warum das Bundesgericht den Fall nicht als «besonders bedeutend» qualifiziert hat Am Rande wird auch die politische Dimension angesprochen, unter anderem die Debatte um den damaligen Hamburger Bürgermeister und späteren deutschen Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz sowie den Einfluss von Lobbying im Finanz- und Bankenbereich. Die Folge verbindet Wirtschaftsstrafrecht, Strafverteidigung und internationale Rechtshilfe – und zeigt exemplarisch, wie komplex, zermürbend und politisch aufgeladen grosse Finanzstrafverfahren (auch für die Schweiz) sein können. Zum Schluss schenkt Gregor Duri das Buch «Cum/Ex, Milliarden und Moral» von Anne Brorhilker mit dem Hinweis, man müsse als Strafverteidiger auch die Perspektive der Strafverfolgung kennen. Duri spricht hörbar erfreut über Sympathie und Ambivalenz in Wirtschaftsstrafverfahren, die Rolle der Privatklägerschaft und darüber, weshalb Durchhaltewillen und Präzision in solchen Verfahren entscheidend sind.

Die ehemalige Oberstaatsanwältin Anne Brorhilker und ihre Ermittlungen sind nun bereits zum Dritten Mal Thema dieses Podcasts. Anne Brorhilker führte die Ermittlungen zu den ersten rechtskräftigen Urteilen im Cum-Ex-Skandal. In ihrem Buch "Cum Ex, Milliarden und Moral" zeigt sie auf, warum die Justiz an Grenzen stößt und welche Reformen notwendig sind. Darum geht es in diesem Podcast: - Systemversagen bei Cum-Ex: Der Staat ist bei großen Schadenssummen oft machtlos, während "kleine Fische" leichter gefasst werden. Der Schaden durch Cum-Ex beläuft sich auf mindestens zehn Milliarden Euro. - Professionelle Verschleierung: Täter nutzen verschachtelte Auslandsstrukturen und konspirative Methoden, um die Ermittlungen maximal zu erschweren. - Gegenwind für Ermittler: Neben juristischen Rechtsmitteln und Dienstaufsichtsbeschwerden werden heute verstärkt PR-Manager und Medienkampagnen eingesetzt, um die Arbeit der Justiz zu diskreditieren. - Strukturelle Defizite: Zu wenig Personal, mangelnde Vernetzung zwischen den Bundesländern und ein fehlendes Wissensmanagement verhindern eine effektive Strafverfolgung. Nach über zwei Jahrzehnten bei der Staatsanwaltschaft Köln hat Anne Brorhilker den Staatsdienst verlassen, um als Vorständin bei der Bürgerbewegung Finanzwende e.V. den Kampf gegen Finanzkriminalität auf einer anderen Ebene fortzusetzen. Wir beleuchten das systematische Ungleichgewicht zwischen staatlicher Strafverfolgung und der hochgerüsteten Finanzbranche. Hier die Links zu den vorangegangenen und ähnlichen Folgen #302 Gefährliche Muster in der Justiz erkennen – Ein tiefer Einblick in die Strukturen der Justiz mit Anne Brorhilker. #331: Anne Brorhilker, die Ex-Chefermittlerin des Cum-Ex Skandals, übt Kritik – Die Fortsetzung der Diskussion über Wirtschaftskriminalität. #337 Als Interne Revision der Sozialisierung von Kosten entgegenwirken – Ein weiterer Blick auf komplexe Fallstrukturen. Impulse für die Interne Revision - insbesondere in Behörden: - Den Blick weiten: Das Risiko durch global organisierte Kriminalität sollte Teil der risikoorientierten Prüfungsplanung sein. - Behördenübergreifende Zusammenarbeit: Revisionen sollten sich zusammenschließen, um den Austausch von Informationen und Fachexpertise zu fördern. - Rahmenbedingungen prüfen: Statt sich im "Klein-Klein" zu verlieren, muss die Interne Revision prüfen, welche Aufbau- und Ablauforganisation nötig ist, um international agierenden Tätern gewachsen zu sein. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Zuhören und erfolgreiche Prüfungsprozesse!

The 2017 film The Man Who Invented Christmas, starring human treasure Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, is a lovely bit of an anachronistic historical revisionism (though, to be fair, it gets a number of things right both in fact and in, pardon the pun, spirit). But it also perpetuates an increasingly popular myth - that Charles Dickens...well...invented Christmas. At least, that is, Christmas as we think of it today. There are a lot of reasons why this seems true, and, yes, Dicken's A Christmas Carol played an enormous role in a Victorian revival and redefining of Christmas - but that revival was happening with him or without him. So we decided to take a closer look at Victorian society in the 1940s and exam how religious - or not - Dickens and A Christmas Carol actually were. Kelly and John invited Victorianist ⁠Kristen Hanley Cardozo⁠ to share some of her expertise and talk about spirits, Scrooges, and the real reasons for the season.

  December 7, 2025: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. You'all know I love Hallmark Christmas movies.  However, there is nothing quite like the ultimate story we hear at this time of year – A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.  And as much as I love Hallmark, they just do not compare in their remakes of that classic, to the ones that star Alister Sims or Sir Patrick Stewart.  Now, we are in Advent, not Christmas, so why do I bring this classic tale of Christmas up?  For the same reason I did many years ago when I was preaching on the texts for this Sunday – especially the one from Isaiah, because Dickens knew how to create a setting.  And, the truth is, while the movie adaptations are good, nothing is better than the actual book in telling that important part of the story.  I mean, isn't that nearly always the case – Lord of the Rings trilogy, Dune, the Chronicles of Narnia – I know, I am showing my fantasy/scifi side. Even the Harry Potter movies, while really good, were not as good as the books.  The same is very true for A Christmas Carol. The opening paragraph of this Dicken's seasonal classic makes one thing absolutely clear.  It reads, “Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.  Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.” So, I guess Marley, old Scrooge's business partner, was very much dead?  Or, as we get from the coronor in The Wizard of Oz – Marley is “…not only merely dead, [he's] really most sincerely dead.” Clearly we do not need to ask, in our best Monty Python voice, “Is he dead yet?”  Marley is dead.  Got it.  But why all the fuss – why all the repetition? Well, as we continue in the story we realize that if we weren't quite sure about Marley being dead, than it throws off the basis for the very strange set of Christmas Eve visitations that result in a miracle of new life for Scrooge.  And it is this new life that is an important part of our Advent journey.  The life that grows out of death.  Now you might be thinking, isn't that Easter, not Advent?  Well, it is both, as will see in the passage from Isaiah, and also from St. Paul in his letter to the Romans (who quotes the very scripture in Isaiah we heard today).  The passage begins with this: “A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.”  That branch, the passage continues, is the birth of a new leader – one who is righteous and faithful, who has compassion for the poor and the meek. Oh, how we yearn even today, for that. Now we often hear these words and think of Jesus, but Jews then and to today know these words as applying to King Hezekiah of Judah.  Still, everyone all over the world yearn for this type of leader – one who has compassion for her people, and knows they are not God, but are there to serve God's people.  The prophet's words remind all of us what is expected of those that lead the people of God.  And it is a proper metaphor for the incarnation too. So, let's get back to that stump, that leftover remains of a very dead tree.  A tree that, as Dickins would likely say, is as dead as a door nail.  Why is this imagery so important to the people then, or us now? Well, remember last week? The prophet was speaking of a vision of a new world where swords would be turned into plowshares?  Well, that hasn't come about yet.  The Assyrians were still a threat to Jerusalem, and had destroyed many a city in Judah and Israel.  In fact, in the chapter before the one we read from today, we hear about those rulers who oppress the people, turning aside the needy from justice, and robbing the poor and vulnerable.  It was a time of darkness for the people, where hope was far gone and everyone seemed like the walking dead.  The stump is a metaphor for the people who felt dead inside.  The shoot is the birth of a new leader who is righteous, faithful, and good.  That would be a miracle to those so worn down by the reality in which they lived. But the passage doesn't stop there.  This new life is beyond anything anyone has ever experienced – beyond even swords being made into plowshares.  It is what we have come to call the peaceable kingdom…where “The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid…” Of course, this image has been depicted in religious art, and is the stuff of poets.  But given the circumstances then and today, many of us might say, “The wolf might lie down with the lamb. But the lamb won't get much sleep!”  We greet these words with a big “Bah Humbug!' Not because we don't want it – oh we so dream it could be true.  No, we are skeptical because we have become so used to the very unpeaceable kingdom – war, violence, human trafficking, hate crimes, cyberbullying, and leaders who attack the people they are meant to serve, not to mention difficult times in our own lives. We can feel devoid of dreams like this because it can all seem too big to imagine – this time of peace and love for all.  It seems like a pipe dream. We can be so very weary from what life throws at us that we become like those people long ago – the walking dead.  Our faith withered so much that we keep a watchful eye, a bit like a lamb near a lion, for what might next prey upon us, and not for miracles of new life.  And so this prophetic witness of Isaiah is not only meant for those long ago, but for us too.  Maybe that is why St. Paul quotes the prophet in his letter to the Romans we heard a part of today.  He writes “Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope….and again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse shall come, the one who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles shall hope.”” St. Paul is reminding the people in Rome, and now us, of the promise of Isaiah – that new life grows out of what seems to be very much dead, bringing hope to all.  And folks, as I said last week, hope is a most powerful force amidst the darkness of the world.  It is the stuff of transformation, and the heart of Advent.  Hope is the spark in the soul that can defeat the darkness, can overcome the strongest enemies, can make dreams – God's or our own – possible.  And hope is the root of joy. Now, to be clear, joy is not happiness.  Joy is not connected to external events.  Joy is the inner peace we carry knowing that no matter what life throws at us, God loves us – loves us enough to break into the darkness of our lives with the birth of Christ Jesus. But here's the thing.  This new vision of the world – this peaceable kingdom and life out of death – this hope and joy – well, we have a role to play in bringing it all about. St. Paul adds this instruction we heard today “Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you.”  This welcome isn't a polite greeting like we do at the peace, or we might when being introduced at a party.  That is far too tame.  The Greek used here is more on the lines of “fully embrace.”  And it isn't meant just for people we know well, or even like.  It is to fully embrace like Christ!  Or to put it in Christ's own words “love one another as I loved you.”  We are to be the counter-cultural witness to the goodness of God in how we treat one another, how we treat those who are different than ourselves, how we treat all of creation.  When we love as Christ loved us, we become the very sprouts of new life for a world that feels dead as a stump.  That is how we, by his incarnation in our heart, give birth to God's vision of love and peace. It happens one welcome – one full embrace – one moment of unconditional love at a time.  It is the hope of nations, and the promise of the child we await.  Think about the story of old Scrooge for a moment.  His transformation didn't come about because he got frightened out of his wits by a bunch of ghosts.  It started with a warning from Marley, to be sure, but what exactly was Marley telling him?  First, he told Scrooge that the chain he was wearing he forged in life, and that Scrooge's was just as long and growing ever still.  And when Scrooge said, “But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,” Marley shouted back – “Business!” “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!…At this time of the rolling year, I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?” Then the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future arrive one by one. What did they show Scrooge?  Images of hell to scare him?  No.  They showed him love – love he once had for another person, love of the Cratchit family even amidst all their lot, love his nephew showed to him despite Scrooge's nasty clapbacks at him.  And the reader or viewer sees how the absence of love from others can deaden many a child of God. That is what the Spirits showed to Scrooge – love.  Love not based on being treated well, love not based on the circumstances of life.  Just love – that full embrace St. Paul implores us to give – that commandment of Jesus to us all.  It is the very thing that will bring forth the shoot of hope and joy from even the deadest of souls, including our own. So next time you are watching your favorite version of A Christmas Carol, remember this passage from Isaiah and the epistle of St. Paul to the Romans. Remember and see that even a soul as dead as Dickin's Mr. Scrooge may be given new life through the power of love. Remember too that this miracle of redemptive grace is for everyone – for you and for me.  It is the hope that will heal the world and bring about the beloved kingdom for us all, so long as we do our part to bring it about. And so I leave you with this, the two benedictions St. Paul includes in this part of his epistle.  Maybe they be something you can say each morning as you start the day – a reminder of Advent and what is possible by God's grace, when we share with others our hope and joy in love.  “May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Amen.

Author Charles Dickens was searching for a story to revive his career, pay off his debts, and bring hope to others. In 1843 he wrote the Christmas classic, “A Christmas Carol.” In part 2 of our “Christmas at the Movies” series, we'll take a look at Dicken's story in the movie, “The Man Who Invented Christmas.” Dicken's story is one of hope, but there is a truer story that brings real hope to us in the darkness. That's what we'll explore in this message.

Es ist Dezember – und viele Angler haben ihr Tackle längst im trockenen Schuppen für die nächsten Monate verstaut. Dabei zeigt sich immer mehr: Wer wirklich an die Dicken will, sollte den Dezember nutzen. Und wo wir gerade beim Schuppen sind – besser gesagt beim Lager: Die Carp Rods sind endlich angekommen! Wer jetzt schnell ist, könnte sie sogar noch unter dem Weihnachtsbaum liegen haben. So! Das Wort zum Sonntag vorweg. Jetzt rein in die 113. Folge des Carpy Podcasts. Unser Freund des Hauses Matze Dietrich war auf einem Onkelz-Konzert und hat dank seiner Carpy Cap direkt Gleichgesinnte getroffen. Von den Onkelz geht's nahtlos weiter zu Tinder – genauer gesagt zu Catfish Tinder. Ihr wisst nicht, was das ist? Dann hört ganz genau hin… kleiner Spoiler: Es hat etwas mit Stellenfi… zu tun. Marian hat außerdem einen extrem spannenden Bericht gefunden – es geht um das Besiedeln von Gewässern. Wirklich faszinierend, auf welche Weise sich unsere Freunde im kalten Nass verbreiten. Eine eher seltene Rubrik erlebt aktuell ein kleines Comeback: die Rotary-Frage. Carpytän Marian wirft ein Thema in die Runde, das alle drei sofort triggert und die Emotionen hochkochen lässt – natürlich aus ganz aktuellem Anlass. Stichwort: Oldschoolpsychose. Von Psychosen zu „Wer war angeln?“ Nur einer war tatsächlich am Wasser: unser Carpytän Peter. Und er hat einiges zu berichten – über einen Busfahrer, 9-Volt-Blöcke und den Drill des Jahrhunderts. Wenn man sich die Themen dieser 113. Folge und die Hörerfrage anschaut, ziehen sich medizinische Diagnosen wie ein roter Faden durch die Episode. Auch die Hörerfrage passt perfekt dazu: Es geht um nichts Geringeres als die Sucht nach Karpfenangeln. Jetzt aber los – viel Spaß mit der vorletzten Folge des Jahres 2025 des Carpy Podcasts. Eure Carpytäne Marian, Maui und Peter

Dicken Bettinger, Ed.D., received his undergraduate degree from St. Lawrence University and began his career teaching high school students.  Many students came to Dicken with problems that they were experiencing.  This began his search for something to teach people that would increase their well-being.  He received his master's degree from Pennsylvania State University and his Doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Boston University.  He became licensed as a clinical psychologist in 1983 and retired from his psychotherapy practice after working as a psychologist for 31 years. Thirty-three years ago, he met Sydney Banks who had an enlightenment experience where he realized the Three Principles that underlie all human experience. Dicken had finally found universal principles that he could teach anyone.  He was grateful to find something that was simple in nature yet had the profound effect of raising the quality of a person's life.  He feels fortunate that for 23 years he was able to learn directly from Sydney Banks.  In 2008 Dicken received a Certificate of Competency from Mr. Banks authorizing him to teach the Three Principles.Dicken co-founded and was the director of a center in Vermont that was the first center in the Northeast to teach the Three Principles.  He served as one of the original nation-wide Core Three Principles Faculty and is currently a faculty member for the Three Principles Global Community.  In 1996 Dicken joined Pransky and Associates, a Three Principle-based institute in La Conner, Washington.  Dicken was instrumental in developing and teaching leadership and staff development programs for universities, hospitals, publishing companies, defense contractors, health departments, banks, and non-profit organizations. He taught company employees what it takes to be resilient and agile in the face of today's business challenges and rapidly changing environments.  He mentored CEOs and their leadership teams in raising the bar on their productivity, teamwork, and business success.  He now specializes in developing 3 Principle practitioners, as well as leading group seminars on the Principles and their relationship to spiritual/psychological well-being.In January of 2012 Dicken founded Three Principles Mentoring to deepen peoples' understanding of the 3 principles, develop 3P practitioners globally, and offer seminars in countries throughout the world. Dicken wrote a book with Natasha Swerdloff, Coming Home: Uncovering the Foundations of Psychological Well-being​ which is now available in 10 languages.Dicken also deeply values his work as a director on the board of the Three Principles Glogal Community. This organization was formed to spread the teachings of Sydney Banks around the world.  Dicken enjoys public service work and has worked with refugees from South and Central America. He was an integral part of the Tibetan Resettlement Project in Vermont. Dicken has been happily married for 55 years and loves teaching 3P Practitioners and running seminars worldwide on spiritual/psychological well-being. He has two adult children, Nina and Ben, and adores spending time with his four grandchildren.  He enjoys photography, hiking, canoeing,  traveling, and his dog, Oliver. 

Recently a new trial was published in Nature Medicine comparing the effect of ultra-processed versus minimally processed diets. Specifically, the UPDATE trial compared these two diets in the context of a healthy dietary pattern (in line with the UK's EatWell Guide). This eight-week randomized, crossover trial generated a lot of discussion and was largely seen as being a really useful addition to the evidence base, and providing answers to some previously unexamined questions. In this episode the study's lead author, Dr. Samuel Dicken, explains the background context for the UPDATE trial, provides an insight into its execution, and puts some of the results in context. There is also a discussion about the current state of evidence more broadly and the leading hypotheses around the mechanisms that drive the observations seen with consuming ultra-processed foods. This episode is particularly noteworthy because it provides fresh evidence on an important question: does following dietary guidelines with minimally processed foods confer extra benefits over following the same guidelines with ultra-processed foods?

Plugged In's Adam Holz looks at the new animated life of Christ called "King of Kings," written by Charles Dickens as a private story for his kids.  He also looks at the new Blake Shelton song "Let Him In Anyway."  While we can understand the heart of the song, it gets so much wrong about God and us.   Bible teacher Carol McLeod talks about how, just like the creation week was explosive, what Jesus accomplished during Holy Week was also explosive!

In the episode of The Observatory, we are revisiting a powerful episode with our guest is Dicken Bettinger, author of the book “Coming Home.” In his life he had the opportunity to work with and rub shoulders with Sidney Banks. Sidney had a moment of enlightenment in his life where he understood some universal principles of what life is, and it changed his life forever. We are pretty passionate about this and really it is the foundation of why we're doing what we're doing, so we invite you to sit back, take a moment, listen with your heart, don't be attached to the words and just allow this message to flow through you.Timestamps: [1:51] Dicken's background[11:58] Everyone is connected to cosmic energy [18:41] The 3 principles: thought, consciousness, and mind [24:06] For those who haven't heard about this [37:47] Understanding the principles and putting them to work [48:33] Nature's influence [60:38] People are beginning to understand [63:44] Feeling grief Notable quotes:“We are intimately a part of that dimension of life in the same way a wave is intimately a part of the ocean.

We can't not be that.”  Dicken Bettinger [15:54]“Insight learning is different than information learning. Information learning is memorization of facts, but it's insight that changes people.

Throughout history, the cold, dark and hungry winter season had been infused with a certain spooky feeling of dread. Festivals like saturnalia, yule and eventually Christmas brought light to the darkness. But that lingering since of foreboding still underlines the festive season, no mater how much we make merry. Today let's unearth 3 of my favorite early episodes, all on the theme of Spooky Christmas. In 10 Santa Alternatives from Around the World we'll meet a Christmas witch from Italy and Krampus, a horrible Christmas demon from Germany. In 10 Christmas Villains we'll meet pop culture festive baddies from Charles' Dicken's ghosts to Jack Skellington. And in Halloween Vs. Christmas we'll compare my favorite holidays and see which one comes out on top! Please enjoy and Happy Holidays! Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

The 2017 film The Man Who Invented Christmas, starring human treasure Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, is a lovely bit of an anachronistic historical revisionism (though, to be fair, it gets a number of things right both in fact and in, pardon the pun, spirit). But it also perpetuates an increasingly popular myth - that Charles Dickens...well...invented Christmas. At least, that is, Christmas as we think of it today. There are a lot of reasons why this seems true, and, yes, Dicken's A Christmas Carol played an enormous role in a Victorian revival and redefining of Christmas - but that revival was happening with him or without him. So we decided to take a closer look at Victorian society in the 1940s and exam how religious - or not - Dickens and A Christmas Carol actually were. Kelly and John invited Victorianist Kristen Hanley Cardozo to share some of her expertise and talk about spirits, Scrooges, and the real reasons for the season.

Tonight, we'll read a short story by Charles Dickens called “A Christmas Tree”, from 1850. Snoozecast first aired this story back in the year 2020. It was only ten years prior to this story's publication that in 1840 the German concept of a Christmas tree was introduced to England. Before then, nobody in England had placed a Christmas tree in their home.Just as Dicken's “A Christmas Carol” isn't actually a song, “A Christmas Tree” is barely a story and the tree is merely a launching off point for a series of dreamy impressions from the author's mind.  — read by 'M' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

This episode promises to shine a light on the newly FDA-approved OTC hearing aids, featuring an in-depth discussion on their availability and the rising consumer interest. Discover the challenges in tracking OTC sales data and the potential for these devices to create new markets for those with mild to moderate hearing loss without diminishing the prescription hearing aid industry. We also debunk common myths about hearing loss and explore the nuanced differences between hearing and listening problems.Click here to read and/or download the GAO's OTC Hearing Aid Report. Explore the intriguing dynamics of affordability and stigma associated with hearing aids. Did you know that despite OTC options being priced from $200 to over $1,000, and prescription aids costing several thousand dollars, stigma significantly impacts people's willingness to use them? We reference studies showing that even in countries where hearing aids are free, many still opt out. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of professional guidance in selecting hearing aids and how private practices can provide affordable solutions, ensuring a balanced approach between OTC accessibility and expert support in tackling hearing health issues.Our discussion touches upon the importance of ongoing market evaluation, and how Medicare Advantage plans and the Department of Veterans Affairs are navigating these challenges.
