El violín de Sarasate resuena en Maó: un viaje a la esencia del virtuosismo y la amistad musicalEl Festival d'Estiu de Joventuts Musicals de Maó vuelve a convertirse en el epicentro de la excelencia melódica. En esta ocasión, la propuesta cobra una dimensión especialmente emotiva y virtuosa gracias a la llegada de «À mon ami Sarasate», una obra y proyecto discográfico ideado por la aclamada violinista Ana María Valderrama junto a su dúo. Este espectáculo no solo celebra el genio deslumbrante de Pablo Sarasate, sino que traza una delicada red de afectos, influencias y colaboraciones artísticas que unieron al mítico violinista pamplonés con los grandes creadores de su época, como Camille Saint-Saëns o Théodore Dubois.La génesis de esta aventura artística guarda una relación indisoluble con la trayectoria personal de la propia intérprete. En el año 2011, Ana María Valderrama marcó un hito histórico al convertirse en la primera violinista española en alzarse con el primer premio y el premio del público en el prestigioso Concurso Internacional de Violín Pablo Sarasate. Aquel galardón catapultó su carrera a los escenarios internacionales y consolidó un vínculo indestructible entre su violín y el legado del maestro navarro. Como la propia artista recuerda, la constante demanda del público por escuchar las composiciones de Sarasate en sus recitales la impulsó a diseñar un homenaje que devolviera, en forma de gratitud musical, todo lo que aquel reconocimiento le había brindado.Sin embargo, «À mon ami Sarasate» va mucho más allá de un recopilatorio de piezas virtuosísticas habituales. Inspirada en las investigaciones reflejadas en la biografía «Sarasate, el violín de Europa», firmada por la musicóloga María Nagore, Valderrama quiso rescatar una visión poliédrica y fascinante del músico. Sarasate no fue únicamente el intérprete prodigioso que deslumbraba en los auditorios de todo el globo; fue también un prolífico compositor, un refinado arreglista y una auténtica figura pública internacional que ejerció de musa para los compositores más célebres de su tiempo, quienes le dedicaron multitud de partituras imborrables.El programa preparado para el claustro del Museo de Maó refleja con absoluta maestría esas tres facetas fundamentales. Entre los momentos más esperados de la velada destaca la interpretación de la «Fantasía sobre Don Juan», una joya rescatada del olvido que permaneció inédita hasta su grabación en el disco publicado en 2016. Junto a ella, el público podrá deleitarse con la capacidad de Sarasate como arreglista a través del «Nocturno» de Frédéric Chopin, una adaptación lírica y conmovedora para violín y piano que transforma la melancolía pianística en un canto de cuerda de infinita belleza.Para complementar este universo sonoro y enriquecer la experiencia del oyente, el concierto incorpora la emblemática «Suite popular española» de Manuel de Falla. Esta inclusión genera un contraste fascinante entre la brillantez romántica de Sarasate y el lenguaje nacionalista, estilizado y profundamente enraizado en la tradición popular que caracteriza a Falla. A través de este diálogo estilístico, el espectáculo ofrece una panorámica rica y variada de la música española para violín.El escenario elegido para esta cita es el majestuoso claustro del Museo de Maó, un recinto al aire libre impregnado de historia y belleza arquitectónica. Interpretar repertorio de cámara en un espacio abierto plantea siempre desafíos acústicos singulares, especialmente para los instrumentos de cuerda y el piano. Sin embargo, la magia de las arquerías y la resonancia natural que brindan los claustros históricos prometen envolver las notas en una atmósfera íntima y poética, donde la música conectará de manera directa con la sensibilidad del oyente.«À mon ami Sarasate» representa una oportunidad extraordinaria para reencontrarse con un patrimonio musical lleno de vida, emoción y virtuosismo. Una velada imprescindible en Joventuts Musicals de Maó para redescubrir, de la mano de Ana María Valderrama, al hombre, al amigo y al mito del violín europeo.

In this special Maximum Medicine esoteric series, Dr. Sharon Martin explores three profound spiritual concepts that have shaped her decades of study in energy medicine, shamanism, mysticism, and consciousness work: Alchemy, Unseen Forces, and The Death Force. Drawing from the teachings of Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan, Alberto Villoldo, Carolyn Myss, indigenous wisdom traditions, and her own experiences as a healer, Dr. Martin reveals how unseen energies influence our lives and how we can consciously work with them to create transformation, healing, and spiritual growth.  In This Episode Part 1: Alchemy – Creating the Gold Within The true spiritual meaning of alchemy beyond turning lead into gold Why miracles happen when we expand our perception of reality How beliefs shape what becomes possible in our lives The concept of the "assemblage point" and shifting our window of perception Why openness and suspended disbelief create space for transformation The role of intention in manifesting unexpected outcomes Finding your own version of "gold" through personal evolution and service Part 2: The Death Force – An Essential Companion Understanding death as a universal force rather than something to fear How endings and transformation are present in every moment of life The relationship between death, growth, and renewal Daily practices for working consciously with the death force Calling your energy back at the end of the day Recapitulation, forgiveness, and releasing what no longer serves Learning to view death as an ally in spiritual evolution Part 3: Unseen Forces & Spiritual Helpers Exploring the world of spirit allies, archetypal energies, and nature beings Dr. Martin's encounters with dragon, jaguar, hawk, and whale consciousness Indigenous and mystical traditions that recognize unseen realms Building relationships with energetic allies and forces of nature The importance of reciprocity in spiritual practice How unseen helpers can provide guidance, protection, and transformation Deepening your connection with the living intelligence of the natural world

Hundreds of people turned up at Dublin Airport yesterday to welcome home eleven Irish citizens detained by the Israeli military when their Gaza Sumud Flotilla was intercepted in international waters.

Alfonso Ussía pudo haber sido un zángano del barrio de Salamanca, pero eligió trabajar duro para algún día -vana ilusión- no tener que trabajar. Alfonso fue pilarista con acné, confesor sin permiso papal, licenciado en puestas de largo, cabo instructor, corredor de seguros y reaseguros, judoka del Pireo, cantaor de flamenco en portugués, aventurero en el Amazonas y -last but non least- pollo de barra. Su adolescencia fueron recuerdos de larguísimos veraneos en San Sebastián, con canciones de Jacques Brel como música de fondo, jersey sobre los hombros y pellizcos a traición a la novia, propia o ajena. En San Sebastián, Ussía jugaba al tenis con una chica rubia, a la que llamaban Hoppy, que de mayor sería presidenta de Madrid, y al fútbol en la playa con un atormentado niño bien, al que apodó Pertur, y que años después ingresaría en ETA para no salir ya vivo. Su primer trabajo en prensa fue a las órdenes de Janli Cebrián. En los servicios de documentación de ‘Informaciones', Ussía coincidió con los entonces también jovencísimos María Antonia Iglesias, José Luis Martín Prieto, Víctor de la Serna y Jimmy Giménez Arnau. Su debut en el periodismo literario vino de la mano de Antonio Gala, que lo llevó a 'Sábado Gráfico'. Fue en el despacho del editor, Eugenio Suárez, donde una bala por poco le perfora la oreja a Ussía; no fue culpa de la bala, sino de la oreja. De ‘Sábado Gráfico' la pluma de Alfonso voló como un mosquito -como un tábano- por otras redacciones, hasta aterrizar en la de ‘ABC'. Allí firmó durante años. Luego, en ‘La Razón', de donde salió aparatosamente. Que al hombre no le gusta que le toquen ni una coma. En periodismo y literatura, Ussía lo hizo todo, salvo un perfil largo sobre Don Juan de Borbón y una comedia ligera. Uno y otra habrían sido un bombazo. El tío siempre fue garantía de éxito.

Ru Marshall pulls back the curtain on the man behind the myth of Carlos Castaneda, exposing the real lives, lies, and losses buried beneath his legendary books. In this episode, Therese Markow and Ru Marshall discuss the life and legacy of Carlos Castaneda, who claimed to have been trained as a shaman by Don Juan. Castaneda's books, which sold over 8 million copies, were initially believed but later dismissed as fiction. Marshall's book, "American Trickster," explores Castaneda's origins in Peru and his life in the U.S. Castaneda, born Cesar Arana, was a charismatic storyteller who seduced both women and academics. Despite initial academic support, his claims were eventually debunked. Ru's research spanned 20 years, revealing Castaneda's complex personal life and the impact of his cult-like following.    Key Takeaways: Long before the books, Carlos Castaneda was known as a gifted storyteller and trickster, blurring the line between entertainment, fabrication, and manipulation. Castaneda's real power was psychological. He made individuals, especially women, feel uniquely seen, chosen, and special, a classic mechanism of charismatic control. The disappearance and deaths of key followers after Castaneda's passing reveal the devastating human cost when a closed belief system collides with reality. And when followers are willing to follow a narrative all the way to the end.   "It's a really interesting thing, that when people, both professionally and, more importantly, I think, emotionally, become invested in a belief, it is incredibly hard for people to admit they're wrong." —  Ru Marshall   Connect with Ru Marshall: Website: https://rmarshallstudio.com/  Threads: https://www.threads.com/@robtmars  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robtmars/  American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda: https://orbooks.com/catalog/american-trickster/    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Is it anthropology or a high-stakes hoax?In this episode of the Varn Vlog, we dive deep into the enigmatic life of Carlos Castaneda with author and visual artist Ru Marshall. Marshall's expansive new biography, American Trickster (OR Books), unearths the startling reality behind the man who convinced the world he was apprenticed to a Yaqui sorcerer named Don Juan.We explore how Castaneda transitioned from a UCLA PhD candidate to a global counterculture icon, selling tens of millions of books while living a life of elaborate reinvention—including claiming to be Brazilian despite being Peruvian. Marshall details the darker side of Castaneda's "Nagual" legacy: his transformation into a cult leader, his manipulation of academic elites like Harold Garfinkel, and the tragic disappearances of the women in his inner circle following his death.In this episode, we discuss:The Academic Scam: How Castaneda used "ethnomethodology" to seduce brilliant sociologists and anthropologists at UCLA.The Arana Family Secret: The "Mark of the Arana" and the dark Peruvian history Castaneda spent his life running from.Tensegrity and Cultism: The transition from bestselling author to a high-control leader who promised his followers they would never die.The Death Valley Mystery: The discovery of Nuri Alexander's remains and the final "flight into infinity" that turned fatal for his followers.Ru Marshall is an acclaimed writer and visual artist whose work explores the intersections of faith, identity, and cultural mythology. Their debut novel, Separate Reality, was a Lambda Literary Award finalist for Debut Fiction. Marshall's insightful non-fiction and essays have been featured in prominent outlets including Salon, n+1, Evergreen Review, and Kenyon Review. Their most recent work, American Trickster: A Biography of Carlos Castaneda, is the culmination of nearly two decades of research into one of the 20th century's most complex and controversial literary figures.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

On his final night in New Orleans, Brian Wise files a slightly frayed dispatch that captures Jazz Fest's defining tension: a festival big enough to feel infinite, and a schedule brutal enough to make you choose your regrets in advance. Episode 22 becomes a story about how festivals actually unfold—less like neat recaps and more like a sequence of weather calls, crowd-panics, and last-minute pivots. With the festival reckoning done, the conversation swings to another kind of canon-building: Joni Mitchell. Sparked by a Mojo “top 50 songs” feature, the hosts trade favourites (Wise namechecks “Don Juan's Reckless Daughter” and multiple Court and Spark staples, plus “Magdalene Laundries,” “Amelia,” and “River”), and Wise recalls seeing Mitchell at Jazz Fest in 1995, performing with her VG-8 guitar setup. They also discuss an attention-grabbing industry development: a Joni Mitchell biopic being directed by Cameron Crowe, with Meryl Streep cast as the older Mitchell and Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger. The enthusiasm is tempered by a journalist's instinctive question: can a close friend make an objective film?

“A project of epic proportions, pulled off with remarkable élan.”—Kirkus ReviewsA gripping exposé of deception, cult power, and the long shadow of Carlos Castaneda, the man behind the biggest literary hoax of the twentieth century.Twenty years in the making, American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda unravels the story of the secretive faux-anthropologist who pulled off one of the greatest literary hoaxes in modern history. Both an investigation of the techniques employed by charismatic narcissists and a study of the cult dynamics that still shape American life, American Trickster defies conventional biography. It emerges as a chilling allegory for the Trump era, a trenchant critique of academia's complicity in distorting and erasing Indigenous culture, and a deep dive into the mechanics of New Age spiritual abuse.Carlos Castaneda, born in Peru in 1925, fled to the U.S. in 1951, escaping responsibility for a child he fathered with a thirteen-year-old girl. He changed his name repeatedly, worked as a taxi driver, studied creative writing, and eventually enrolled in anthropology at UCLA in 1959. In 1968, the University of California Press published his first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, which described his supposed encounters with a Yaqui shaman who initiated him into a secret world of peyote-fueled visions and ancient knowledge never before shared with a “Westerner.”Castaneda was quickly hailed as a revolutionary figure. Admirers ranged from John Lennon and Joni Mitchell to Federico Fellini, George Lucas, and Octavio Paz. His books became international bestsellers and remain the most popular titles ever published on Native American spirituality—despite having little to no connection to actual Indigenous practices.For a time, his truth went unchallenged. Then, in 1973, Time magazine published a searing exposé revealing that Castaneda wasn't who he claimed to be. As his academic credibility unraveled, he turned inward, building a secretive spiritual group that blurred the line between fiction and reality. Castaneda's followers, mostly women, became living extensions of the characters in his books—devoted disciples who often abandoned their former lives entirely.By the 1990s, as book sales declined, the group emerged publicly, offering workshops and seminars to thousands across the globe. When Castaneda was diagnosed with liver cancer, he told his disciples he would not die, but burn from within and ascend to another realm—and invited them to join him. After his death in 1998, five of his closest female followers vanished. They are widely believed to have taken their own lives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

一審和歌山地裁の判決を聞く須藤早貴被告、２０２４年１２月１２日和歌山県田辺市で２０１８年５月、「紀州のドン・ファン」と呼ばれた資産家の会社経営野崎幸助さん、当時、を殺害したとして、殺人などの罪に問われた元妻須藤早貴被告の控訴審判決が２３日、大阪高裁であった。 Osaka High Court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling that found a 30-year-old women not guilty over the death in 2018 of her then 77-year-old husband, a wealthy businessman nicknamed the "Don Juan of Kishu," in Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan.

[REDIFFUSION] Dans cet épisode, à l'occasion de la Saint-Valentin, découvrez l'un des séducteurs les plus connus de tous les temps. Il est également un aventurier, un romancier et un grand témoin de l'Europe du 18ème siècle. Sa renommée, son mode de vie et son sens de la séduction furent tels que son patronyme est devenu un qualificatif pour désigner les hommes qui aiment plaire. Son nom : Giacomo Casanova. De sa passion de l'amour à son goût pour le jeu et la manipulation, découvrez son Fabuleux destin. “Cet homme est un Casanova” De combien de séducteurs a-t-on pu entendre ce qualificatif ? Figure parmi les figures de l'homme aux multiples conquêtes, Casanova est une référence depuis plus de deux siècles. Son seul “concurrent” pourrait être Don Juan, à la différence près que Giacomo Casanova n'est pas un personnage de fiction, il est une réelle figure historique du 18ème siècle. Et Casanova préférait de véritables histoires d'amour qu'il investissait pleinement. Mais comment est-il devenu le séducteur le plus connu ?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 7, 2026 is: libertine • LIB-er-teen • noun A libertine is in broad terms a person who is unrestrained by convention or morality. More narrowly, the word describes someone who leads an immoral life. // The legend of Don Juan depicts him as a playboy and libertine. See the entry > Examples: "As horrifying as some of the sins of Victorian scholarship may have been, it would have been anathema to these students of classical philosophy to simply throw out Plato. But that's what some of their modern inheritors have tried to do. … It's worth noting that we might not have Plato's work at all, were it not carefully studied and preserved by the Islamic scholars (hardly libertines themselves) of the medieval period." — R. Bruce Anderson, The Ledger (Lakeland, Florida), 1 Feb. 2026 Did you know? "I only ask to be free," says Mr. Skimpole in Charles Dickens' Bleak House. His words would undoubtedly have appealed to the world's first libertines. The word libertine comes from the Latin lībertīnus, a word used in early writings of Roman antiquity to describe a formerly enslaved person who had been set free (the Roman term for an emancipated person was the Latin lībertus). Middle English speakers used libertine to refer to a freedman, but by the late 1500s its meaning was extended to freethinkers, both religious and secular, and it later came to imply that an individual was a little too unrestrained, especially in moral affairs. The likely Latin root of libertine is līber, the ultimate source of our word liberty.

This is what it sounds like when a sock cries - longtime caller/texter Michelle Guindon, aka 'Michelle from Bowmanville', passed away suddenly on February 27 and Ed, along with many callers, share their memories of Michelle. But it's not a funeral, it's more a Celebration of Life, as the laughter continues just like Michelle would have wanted it to courtesy of Jorge continuing his Don Juan bullsh*t, Triple T, Billy the Kidd, Trina the Truck Whisperer, Thelma and a return visit from Johnny in the Garage and his cast of idiots. Plus, peer counselor Liana Kerzner (It's Not Therapy podcast) talks about healthy grieving.

Few biographers can claim to know what it feels like to be Thomas Jefferson more than the Charlottesville-based historian Andrew Burstein. The author of many books about Jefferson, Burstein's latest, Being Thomas Jefferson, offers an “intimate history” of the great man. From Jefferson's views on love and race to his take on mortality, Andrew Burstein gets inside America's most controversial and misunderstood Founding Father. And what he finds at the end of his voyage inside Jefferson is an intellectual Don Juan. “Jefferson's language is his legacy,” Burstein concludes. “He wrote with a musical cadence, poetically, at a time when most political writers did not understand what he did about seducing the reader”.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this compelling continuation of the 2026 series, Jim expands on Don Juan and Don Javier's teachings by bringing listeners into a grounded, practical conversation about economic cycles, human evolution, and spiritual preparedness. Drawing from decades of shamanic guidance, global economic patterns, and his own experience as an investor, Jim explains why the coming years—especially 2026—represent a crossroads for humanity. This episode breaks down how global shifts affect your energy, your frequency, and your personal stability, and why your spiritual posture determines the quality of your life amid large-scale change. He dives deeper into economic realities rarely discussed in spiritual circles, including debt cycles, the weakening U.S. economy, the rise of China, precious metals, inflation dynamics, and the BRICS movement. Jim explains these not to alarm listeners but to help them think clearly, prepare wisely, and avoid unnecessary suffering. With insight from Don Juan's teachings on becoming “immune” to collapse, and prophetic references from Hopi Kachina, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and others, he shows how spiritual alignment, not fear, is the stabilizing force in uncertain times. This episode encourages listeners to become more conscious participants in their financial lives, understand what is unfolding globally, and begin preparing in ways that elevate—not constrict—their frequency.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (01:02) Why external world changes impact your inner world Jim explains why he's choosing to address economics on a spiritual podcast—and why energetic resilience matters when global structures shift.   (05:40) Economic warning signs most people overlook From inflated markets to unsustainable debt and misleading narratives, Jim outlines the indicators pointing toward major global restructuring.   (10:08) 2026 as humanity's crossroads Drawing from ancient prophecies and shamanic teachings, Jim describes why consciousness is diverging and why your choices determine which path you follow.   (16:45) How to think about becoming “immune” to economic turmoil Jim clarifies Don Juan's definition of independence—living with minimal debt, stabilizing your life, and grounding your frequency regardless of circumstances.   (22:10) Why investors are shifting into precious metals With gold at historic highs and global banks hoarding reserves, Jim explains why metals preserve—not grow—wealth during instability.   (30:22) Preparing spiritually while learning financially Jim outlines how to explore experts like Ray Dalio, Warren Buffett, and Mark Moss to strengthen your understanding, all while maintaining a high spiritual frequency.   Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The world is changing, but fear doesn't prepare you—consciousness does. Your greatest protection in uncertain times is the combination of grounded financial awareness and elevated spiritual frequency. When you reduce unnecessary debt, stay curious, and stay awake to what's unfolding around you, you begin to navigate life from strength rather than scarcity. And when you pair that with spiritual discipline—presence, clarity, and higher choice—you become resilient, stable, and empowered no matter what the external world is doing. The crossroads ahead invites you to rise.

El islam se expandió por el Mediterráneo desde el 711, dominando gran parte de Hispania hasta 1492. Tras la caída de Constantinopla en 1453, los turcos amenazaron Europa y los moriscos españoles se rebelaron. Felipe II, con los tercios y Don Juan de Austria, derrotó a los moriscos y venció a la flota turca en Lepanto, asegurando el control cristiano del Mediterráneo.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this powerful continuation of the Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026 series, Jim shares three timeless lessons drawn from decades of teachings from Don Juan and Don Javier. These insights—distraction, dedication to spiritual work, and preparing for economic shifts—are delivered with clarity and urgency, helping listeners understand how their attention, discipline, and frequency shape the reality they experience. Through personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and real examples from his own life, Jim demonstrates how spiritual alignment becomes the stabilizing force in a chaotic world. He goes deeper into how modern distractions steal our ability to live present, centered, and aware. Jim explains why most people unintentionally invest their energy into meaningless noise rather than spiritual evolution—and how this keeps them out of alignment with their purpose. He also introduces a lesson from 2002 that feels more relevant than ever: economic disruption is coming, and spiritual independence, not fear, is what will carry us through.  If you're ready to step into 2026 with more clarity, presence, and personal power, this episode invites you to slow down, pay attention, and reclaim the energy that creates your future.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (02:58) The hidden cost of distractions Don Juan's teaching reveals how much of life we miss because our attention is consumed by modern noise rather than presence.  (08:46) How distraction drains your power and purpose Jim shares real examples—from doom scrolling to social media addiction—showing how easily we give away the energy needed for growth.  (17:58) Why most people never give 50% to their spiritual work A candid teaching from Don Juan that exposes the gap between “wanting transformation” and actually committing to it.  (24:08) Pain as the catalyst for profound spiritual change Jim shares how the challenges of 2024 became the foundation for massive evolution, illustrating why discomfort is often the doorway to growth.  (28:26) The energetic price of living in the 3D world Learn how attention, discipline, and alignment—not circumstances—determine how grounded and empowered you feel.  (32:15) Preparing spiritually for global economic shifts Jim introduces a decades-old prophecy from Don Juan and explains why frequency—not fear—is the key to navigating future instability.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your attention is your life. When you give it to distractions, fear, or the external world, you weaken your power, your frequency, and your ability to create. But when you reclaim it—through presence, spiritual discipline, and self-awareness—you begin to rise above circumstances rather than collapse under them. The world may shift, but your inner world can remain steady, clear, and strong. Start giving more of your energy to the evolution of your spirit, and you'll experience a 2026 shaped not by chance, but by consciousness.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

It is easy to understand a person who is driven by their passions.Your passions take you to your happy place.I have friends who have a passion for sporting events on television. Others have a passion for gambling, and the paripatetic have a passion for traveling to all the far-flung places on this spinning rock we live upon.People who have a passion for achievement live to make things different.Planning and research puts a candle to the wick of some people. They go without sleep and burn bright throughout the night as they gather, collate, and organize information that will set the future on fire.Your scars are the memories of bitter experiences.The pain is gone, but the benefits of those experiences remain. Your scars help you see danger on the horizon.Your scars are the diplomas of lessons you will never forget.It is good to have scars.But wounds… wounds are different.The pain remains and it triggers you to act in ways that everyone notices but no one understands. Sometimes not even you.I have known men whose only passion was to seduce every woman they encountered. Those men like to believe that they are “in love with falling in love.” But when you have known them long enough you will see a knife wound in their chest that has never healed. Way back in the long ago, they had a wife who began sleeping with another man. And ever since that day, they have been trying to become that man.The pain of a wound is a powerful thing. It shouts, “Never again! Never again! Never again!”I don't believe that any of those men have ever figured out why they feel driven to become the living embodiment of the imaginary Don Juan, and I have never felt that it was my place to tell them.Every person is formed by their passions, scars, and wounds. Even imaginary people.All of the famous characters in literature were created from their passions, scars, and wounds.Novelists, playwrights, and screenwriters know this. Ad writers do not. This is why most advertising is dull, dead, and untwitching.When an ad writer is guided by the ambitions, demands, and expectations of their clients, you can expect to hear the glorious trumpets of a ringing call to action. “Come! Come now! Give me your money! Hurry! Hurry! I want your money Today! Today! Today! Act now! Don't delay!”We are not enchanted by these ads.Did it ever occur to you that every successful brand is a character that lives in the mind of the customer?A successful brand is driven by its passions, scars, and wounds.Passion: Why does this brand exist? What is it chasing? What love does it represent?Scars: What does it know? What has it learned? Why can I trust this brand?Wounds: What is this brand trying to erase from the earth?To what does it shout, “Never again! Never again! Never again!”Roy H. Williams

In this mind-expanding conversation with personal empowerment mentor and shamanic dreaming arts teacher Joel Schafer, we dive deep into the Toltec wisdom that redefines what it means to awaken and reclaim our power in a world full of distraction and distortion. Joel shares how ancient shamanic practices, rooted in not doing, recapitulation, and dreaming arts, help us recover the energy and attention lost to modern chaos. We explore how slowing down time, grounding in nature, and dissolving self-importance open portals to heightened perception, intuitive awareness, and true freedom.Joel also sheds light on how unseen forces manipulate our attention through fear and drama, and how to become “unpalatable” to energetic harvesting by mastering presence and sovereignty. We unpack his experiences with cult dynamics, shadow teachers, and the seduction of power—lessons that reveal how even spiritual seekers can lose their way without self-honesty and humor.From lucid dreaming and parallel lives to the pitfalls of false enlightenment, Joel offers a grounded yet mystical roadmap for living impeccably—one rooted in trust, silence, and direct experience rather than ideology. If you've ever wondered how to truly unbind from the collective trance and remember who you are beneath the programming, this episode will leave you rethinking time, power, and the very nature of reality itself.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his transformative “Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026” series with Part 3, diving into four more timeless lessons from Don Javier and Don Juan. Through their teachings, Jim reveals how much of what we call “reality” is merely a web of illusions—identities, fears, and appearances we've unconsciously created—and how to transcend them.  He explores the illusion of identity, the toxicity of overthinking, and why reason and rationality can trap us in limitation. Jim also shares how to shift out of appearances and reclaim your awareness as the creator of your experience. And, in true Don Juan fashion, he closes with a blunt reminder: we don't get what we want in life because we're being ridiculous—stuck in self-doubt and fear.  If you're ready to stop being ruled by fear, logic, or other people's expectations, this episode is your invitation to rise above the illusions that keep you small and embrace the truth of who you really are—pure, creative consciousness.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Replacing one illusion with another (02:52) Jim explains why most people simply trade one illusionary identity for another—and how to connect instead to the most empowering truth: that you are infinite intelligence.  The toxicity of reason and rationality (12:01) Discover how overthinking, analysis, and constant reasoning can block intuition and spiritual flow—and why true awareness comes from sensing, not thinking.  We are slaves to appearances (21:19) Jim reveals how focusing on appearances—money, health, or status—traps you in limitation, and why awareness of your creative power is the only true freedom.  You don't get what you want because you're ridiculous (31:20) Learn Don Juan's hard-hitting lesson about “ridiculousness”—the self-talk and beliefs that make you doubt your worth, potential, and power.  Reclaiming your divine identity (37:03) Jim summarizes how recognizing yourself as consciousness—the ultimate power in the universe—dissolves fear and transforms how you live, act, and create.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your reality is built from your attention. When you stop overthinking, stop reacting to appearances, and remember you are infinite intelligence, everything changes. You are not your illusions. You are the creator behind them. Drop the ridiculous stories, trust your higher awareness, and step boldly into 2026 as the conscious, limitless being you truly are.    Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his powerful conversation on timeless spiritual wisdom, sharing five transformative teachings from his mentor, Don Javier, and Don Juan. As the podcast evolves toward applied spirituality, Jim unpacks how these guiding principles can radically shift your focus, peace, and personal power as you move into 2026.  Building on last week's insights, Jim dives deeper into what it means to live with awareness, manage your attention, and step beyond fear and self-talk. Through personal stories, including his own health challenges and lessons learned from the Toltec path, Jim shows how ancient truths can be applied to modern struggles—helping you release anxiety, redirect your energy, and reclaim inner calm.  If you're ready to stop overthinking, step out of fear, and align with higher consciousness, this episode gives you a clear and practical roadmap to start living as the warrior you were meant to be.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  You are where your attention is (04:15) Jim explains how the quality of your life is determined by where you place your attention—and how shifting focus from fear and judgment to appreciation instantly changes your reality.  Everything always has been, is now, and will always be fine (09:30) Learn how to trust life's continuity through challenges, losses, and uncertainty, and why—even in chaos—things are always unfolding perfectly.  When the warrior stops talking, even the craziest of tasks become possible (17:45) Discover the immense power of silencing your inner dialogue and how mastering your self-talk makes anything achievable.  A warrior does not preoccupy himself with his fear (25:40) Jim shows how fear is created entirely in the mind and how to stop letting imagined dangers control your emotions and decisions.  Fear is the idleness of will (30:50) Understand why fear thrives in inaction—and how simply moving forward, even imperfectly, brings clarity, courage, and freedom.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Fear dissolves in motion. When you stop arguing with yourself, stop feeding fear with your thoughts, and simply take the next step, you reclaim your power. Remember—your attention creates your world. Keep it on appreciation, truth, and growth, and you'll step into 2026 grounded, fearless, and free.  Mentioned Resources: https://www.jimfortin.com/eliminate-fear-and-negativity/ https://jimfortin.com/insiders   Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares powerful lessons from his shaman and mentor, Don Javier (and Don Juan), offering four timeless spiritual principles to help you create a truly extraordinary 2026. As Jim prepares to evolve the show into a new era of “applied spirituality,” he explores how merging ancient wisdom with modern psychology can transform how we live, work, and relate to others. From authenticity and truth to fear, choice, and personal freedom, Jim dives deep into the energetic roots of human behavior. You'll discover why being anyone other than your true self drains your power, how fear hides behind every lie, and how defending your beliefs or feeling “stuck” are just choices waiting to be reclaimed. If you're ready to release self-deception, step out of fear, and start living in full alignment with your soul, this episode gives you practical, shamanic guidance to make 2026 your most liberated year yet. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Being who you are not is work (03:15) Jim reveals how pretending to be someone you're not drains energy—and why authenticity is the only sustainable power source.  Every lie comes from fear (11:30) Explore how fear drives dishonesty, from small white lies to lifelong self-betrayal, and learn to replace it with radical honesty.  Defending yourself defines you as someone who needs to defend (17:50) Jim explains why letting go of the need to justify your choices is the path to true agency and autonomy.  Being stuck is a choice (24:30) A deep dive into personal responsibility—how we unconsciously choose stagnation and how to reclaim our freedom through conscious choice.  Applied spirituality for everyday life (32:45) Jim shares how he's transforming the podcast to blend spiritual wisdom with practical application, helping you live your truth daily.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Every moment of your life is a choice—and the courage to choose truth over fear is the foundation of freedom. When you stop pretending, stop lying, stop defending, and start choosing consciously, you reclaim your energy and power. Authenticity isn't a risk; it's liberation. As you walk into 2026, ask yourself: Where am I still pretending? The moment you answer honestly, transformation begins.    Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
