Today's episode is all about separation anxiety in dogs. This is absolutely one of the most common reasons that folks might reach out to a dog behavior professional for help. It's also one of the issues that can be truly one of the most stressful (and sometimes feel debilitating) and can have a big negative impact on welfare on both ends of the leash. Despite it being a really common issue, separation anxiety is often a little bit misunderstood when it comes both to the factors that can contribute to why it's happening in the first place and also the ways to treat it or help improve it. So today we are very privileged to be joined by a powerhouse guest lineup to help us clear up some of these misconceptions about separation anxiety and share with listeners more about what it really is, why it happens, and paths to move forward.We discuss:- What is Separation Anxiety (and what it isn't)- Causes of Separation Anxiety (perceived and actual)- Prevalence in Separation Anxiety in companion dogs- Treatment/Intervention options - Common derailers of progress- Success rates and timelines- How to get startedGuests:- Malena DeMartini-Price is renowned in the dog training world for her expertise in dog separation anxiety issues. She is the author of the books Treating Separation Anxiety in Dogs, as well as Separation Anxiety in Dogs – Next-Generation Treatment Protocols and Practices. She is also the founder of the Separation Anxiety Training Certificate Program (CSAT).- Dr. Chris Pachel DACVB (Veterinary Behaviorist), Co-Founder and Co-Owner of INSTINCT Portland  and Animal Behavior Clinic in Portland. - Dr. Emily Levine DACVB (Veterinary Behaviorist), Co-Founder and Co-Owner of INSTINCT NJ/PA and Animal Behavior Clinic of NJHosts Brian Burton and Sarah Fraser are Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of INSTINCT Dog Behavior & Training.

During the nineteenth century, nearly ten thousand Americans traveled to Germany to study in universities renowned for their research and teaching. By the mid-twentieth century, American institutions led the world. How did America become the center of excellence in higher education? And what does that story reveal about who will lead in the twenty-first century? In Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University (University of Chicago Press, 2021), Dr. Emily Levine presents the first history of the ascent of American higher education seen through the lens of German-American exchange. “This book treats transatlantic culture exchange and competition as its topic, methodology, and causal historical mechanism. It uncovers the origins of the research university by pulling apart the strands of parallel, comparative, and intertwined stories that unfolded on both sides of the Atlantic. Chapters pair individuals and institutions from Germany and America to reveal side-by-side stories about how idealists made compromises to create universities they hoped would bring tangible benefits to their respective communities.” In a series of compelling portraits of such leaders as Wilhelm von Humboldt, Martha Carey Thomas, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. Levine shows how academic innovators on both sides of the Atlantic competed and collaborated to shape the research university. Even as nations sought world dominance through scholarship, universities retained values apart from politics and economics. Open borders enabled Americans to unite the English college and German PhD to create the modern research university, a hybrid now replicated the world over. Dr. Levine argues that “the university did not emerge in isolation nor was it ever a finished project. Rather, the compromises were constantly renegotiated by these innovators and other social actors amid changing contexts. As the society that the university served evolved, the university coevolved into such forms as the central state university in Berlin, the land grant in California, and the privately funded urban university in Baltimore, and each time the academic social contract was reconstituted.” In a captivating narrative spanning one hundred years, Dr. Levine upends notions of the university as a timeless ideal, restoring the contemporary university to its rightful place in history. In so doing she reveals that innovation in the twentieth century was rooted in international cooperation—a crucial lesson that bears remembering today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In conversation with RevDem editor Ferenc Laczó, Emily Levine (Stanford University) discusses key ideas in her new book Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University. Allies and Rivals is a transatlantic monograph that draws on extensive historical research and applies sociological theory to study how the academic social contract was repeatedly renegotiated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The conversation addresses the rise of modern research universities and its alternatives, questions of meritocracy and democracy, academic freedom and hard compromises, the global exchange of ideas and academic innovation in the twenty-first century.

I wanted to set in that corner there, because lizards are here first. Guess I've just said somewhere else. So the lizards moved. So I took their spot. And I just met a really friendly bunny rabbit. And some butterflies on a hike I went on today that was probably about four hours. So I'm a little bit tired. And I was thinking about flow as choiceless awareness when I was on the hike, because of what Jamie wheel and Steven Kotler talk about, if somebody is like falling to their death, and they managed to save their life. And their reaction time and their calculation of things, is faster to the point where they're able to save their life somehow. And basically, they're saying it's faster than conscious choice. What is conscious choice, it's a bunch of programs overlaid over our senses. So instead of sensing and acting, we're enacting this so called conscious choice. And so they're studying how it's easier to get into flow in these states, where the body is put under sort of extreme circumstances. And in those extreme circumstances, there's no point in choosing with those programs that we've been conditioned into seeing through. So it's a bunch of conditioning, that is the thing that we think chooses. And all of that is the accumulated me programs and, and knowledge, so we're choosing through our knowledge. And that knowledge is overlaid over our senses. So we're not sensing things holistically and acting with our senses without thinking. And so what I'm saying is that, to me, it sounds like what Krishnamurti talks about with choiceless awareness. And what that means, in a way is that there's no programming, they're doing the calculating, which is the choosing. So if, if there's no one there choosing, then what is choosing? Well, what is choosing when one is falling to one's death, and managers. Without thinking, like, basically, the person is falling in Gravity faster than thinking. So gravity, the speed of gravity, and falling in Gravity is faster than thinking, we can't think and decide, oh, I'm gonna put my hand here and I'm gonna put my hand there, and I'm gonna do this and that something else comes in. So something else is choosing something else is moving us and animating us. When we're falling at the speed, that gravity induces on us. And I feel like in a way, consciousness itself chooses, but it's not really choosing. So an ego mi program might choose between a bit or B bit. Whereas when there's no programming they're choosing then there's infinite bits available. And the conscious will or the me or the ego is choosing between very limited amount of bits, that it's been programmed into choosing between. And so I was thinking about how, while walking down the mountain, down the switchbacks that when we walk And we're going down a mountain we fall. So we're not actually walking as much as falling in gravity. But we're able to control that with our legs. And in the same way, we might think we're choosing to move our legs, but we're just moving our legs and gravity's helping. So there's this sort of play between the two, there's this dance. And I feel like we also have a field of consciousness. And the programming prevents us from falling in the field of consciousness. Whereas if we were just falling in the field of consciousness, that field of consciousness, in combination with it, impressing upon all of our senses holistically would animate us, and that would allow us to act without choosing. So much of our movement anyway, we don't choose to do but it's sort of partly gravity and partly us. So I think there's this other element, this field of consciousness that in a way, in map consciousness, we're falling in the field of consciousness. Without the programs in the way, the programs are kind of the net, the parachute that allow us to sail through life and give us time to like, make these decisions and things when another parachute is a false structure. So the reason I'm saying this is because it demystifies it in a way, not just these few words about it. But to act like it's some big mystifying thing that we need to be falling out of the sky in order to go into is making it seem like it's something so on unattainable. I feel like the field of consciousness. It doesn't choose that makes it sound. The field of consciousness animates us. So just like walking down a hill in the field of gravity, the field of gravity is helping to animate us. So the field of consciousness when it interacts with our body, and all of our senses, animates us. But there's this tension of our programs that constricts us, and actually keeps our animation very limited and fragmented. According to very few programs, it would be like being in a video game and having very few moves that one can do on the controller. It's like the difference between the original Nintendo system and Sony PlayStation, the latest one, there's just so much more that one can do. So the original controller would be like the choices, the programming that we have now. And we're being controlled by the programming as opposed to the totality of the mind and the field of consciousness and the universe. I can see this stuff so subtly and clearly. It's fascinating. It's like studying the animation of the mind. And I'm wondering if the self dialogue about all of this is seeing all those subtle nuances of it. To learn that language, and then it's like progressive training of seeing and perception Because the first experience of map consciousness is so intense, but then as one explores the subtle nuances of mapping consciousness itself. If one is seeing it that way all the time in daily life, then it's not like being blind one day, and then having full vision, the next. It's having that vision every day. And then it just seems normal. And again, I still haven't come off my medications or anything. But I'm hoping to do that when I get back home. I'm not sure what the language is. But I also feel like it's the language of, of beauty. Because beauty isn't human abstractions and programs. It's not the way we've been trained to see. But it's everything else. So one way to see beyond it would be just to see when one is seeing something that is a human construct. And I wonder if words can be used in service of beauty. I think that must have been how they originally came about a sense of awe and wonder. But now they're being used to divide up and fragment the beauty. At which point, it's no longer beautiful. And perhaps we need to speak that language, again, in order for the human brain to allow human consciousness to fully inhabited again, in terms of the upcoming generation. And we have all these words running through our nervous system like static like noise. And we don't have words and perception of beauty running through our nervous system. And our nervous system is designed to perceive beauty. So if we want to get back to its original function and design, then learning that language is important. I was saying to someone that if you ever see me kind of just standing there and walking in circles, maybe that I'm in a holding pattern, waiting for the next thing to catch my attention. Someone to walk up and say, Hey, you want to do this? Or do you want to do that? It really is just like wandering with love, like that shirt that I have. And I feel like the mental health system could be a type of holding pattern for people, it's holding them in that pattern. But we can also start to transform into wandering with love. And wandering with love in a way is like allowing the field of consciousness to move us an understanding that it will catch us just like our legs will catch us each step we take down a mountain. Right now we don't use all our senses. We just use our me sense, which is our programming. We filter everything through the me and we make choices based on that. Can we allow our senses to be in the field of consciousness and start to awaken our senses holistically and move us as The moment just like we move with gravity, what can we gravitate towards? With consciousness? What can we conscious Tate towards? So part of it is learning the language of perception, perception action in the field of consciousness. And partly why things can get a little bit dicey is when we're in the field of consciousness in lower levels. And a lot of times we act accordingly, we act out that level. And I feel it's important to sort of protect oneself from that. Because we become more like ping pong balls, then having these programs of control. We could even imagine that everything we think and imagine if we projected it out of our eyeballs, and that energy of those images and sounds actually has force in terms of making something happen. It's an active agent. So what is the light coming out of one's eyes? Is it good images or bad images? And beyond that, what about no images, because the image we're projecting from our eyes is the choice we're making. we're choosing to extract that information from reality, which is usually based on old information. And so not projecting any images and being choiceless li aware is a qualitative difference. And then anything is possible because our perception is clean and consciousness itself. That energy field of consciousness can animate us towards that which the mind would want us to create. And these images that we make are our partiality. And they make life partial. And we're re experiencing from these old partialities. And it's actually a limiter. The light and sound we project from ourselves limits all of the information out there. And I don't know what I don't know to what extent that is necessary. It seems to be necessary. actually feel like the consciousness animating us versus choice from programs. It gestures us, it acts through us, as us. And through those actions. We move towards something else then. Our programs which is actually moving away from life. It's contracting away from life. It's contracting away from actually meeting the mind. And when the mind and the human beingness meet. And there's no me as this mediator. Then the mind is what moves us consciousness And then anything becomes possible. And I feel like in a way, with these crisis events that seem to happen, it's like going as far along as one can, on that particular path of the mind animating oneself. And then one gets to the limit and it becomes fearful. And it's a type of death in a way. I feel like one could be dying to alternate realities. Because one sprain is in the quantum state. And then when one goes far enough along that path, certain realities have to die. But one experiences that as something terrifying. And one might even have to experience that extreme terror in order to sort of save other people from experiencing that. Because there's so much terror out there that people are not experiencing, because they're using certain means to get through it. And there's nothing wrong with that, per se, but it's not resolving those energies, they have to be resolved some way. In consciousness. I don't quite know how that works in terms of this whole mechanism of terrifying pneus. I feel like we could gesture ourselves quantum. I wonder what kind of lifestyle design would facilitate being open to possibility and, and moving in possibility as possibility. Instead of moving in programs as programs, and I've already had that sensation in my consciousness, I'm just wondering why it seems to for burnout. And somebody once said to me, of higher level of consciousness, don't push let it come to you. Not really sure what that means. But I feel like it partly means that it doesn't take time. So it doesn't matter if I sit here in the same spot for 10 years. And then if I got up and I was moving in possibility, whatever was meant to be created, could be created very quickly. Or it could be created the same way if I got up and did that now. So it doesn't really matter. In terms of time, and it's already here, it's a matter of really just going for it, I guess. Whatever that is. And I feel I'll take some time to figure that out. Maybe I'll continue to wander after this.I was reading a bit of a book by Krishna Murty called fire in the mind. And there was a bit in there about listening. He said, Those who are passionate to find out who want to hear will listen, not to me. And then he said, it's in the air. And I think that's the subtle hearing of insight and seeing of insight. And I sort of realized that seeing in that way is harvesting insight and giving voice to it. Seeing those subtle things, I can see what I'm saying. But it's hard to really put words to it. And then I also realized in a way, I'm harvesting my mania right now, even though I'm not in the state of mania, I feel like I'm doing everything I would be doing. If I was really manic, but I don't feel manic. So I guess I'm embodying my mania. But I'm also talking about stuff. And I'm taking pictures of my notebooks and posting it on my blog at a later date. And that's something I would totally do, if I was just really manic, I would think, Wow, this is so profound, I need to share it. And I'm not even thinking it's so profound, I need to share it, I'm just sharing it for the heck of it. To really not have any build up of anything, partially, because I just forget. So I can't even really think of accumulating stuff and then waiting and then sharing it later has to be done right away or not at all. And that's kind of part of how the mind works in the process. So it's just going according to a different an edited process. And that's the thing, too, is when one gets into that state of consciousness, it's an unedited state, there's no pre forming of words and planning what to say. So just really getting with that in every aspect of life. Not thinking anything is worth clinging on to for later. So I'm wondering if I'm in that higher energy state, but not feeling it. And I talked about in earlier videos, how the neurology grows in ways to be able to contain and harness that energy and not be overpowered by it, because there's more nerve tracks for that. And I don't even know if that's true, but it seems to have some kind of truth to it. So I'm doing these actions that I would do if I was really manic, but I'm not. So in a way, I'm just living that way, congruent with what that energy would animate me to do. beyond my suppose of control, but the thing is, once I have the nerves for that energy to animate me in that way, it doesn't feel like I'm out of control. Because it's not energy beyond that, which my nerves can handle. If you know what I mean. So in a way, if I was surfing a wave that was bigger than the one I'd ever surfed before, I might feel like I'm gonna fall or I'm out of control. Whereas if I have served that same size wave a million times, it's gonna feel natural. So it's the same thing with serving consciousness, that wave of consciousness, energy comes in, and the nerves have to get used to moving in those ways. And that consciousness can come in and take over any one of us. So really being able to move with the wave Consciousness is imperative. Because if a big wave comes in and takes over even more people, it's going to be really chaotic. So the more we can move towards embodying those gestures and ways of being, the better. And I had the sense that choice is a program choice itself. And that is the fundamental program. Whereas when that program is gone, then there's just the census on adulthood. by choice. And I feel like what that consciousness is, is the unknown in a way, so we have to be fully able to sense the unknown, and act accordingly, instead of being always projecting our programs, and then acting based on that. And one can have access to that energy and be acting and acting and acting with the unknown, and then get to a point where it's beyond the comfort zone of the nervous system. And it gets freaked out and turns back. And I wrote down, there is a possible world filled with love. If we were all filled with love, if we're all moved by love, what kind of world with that great. And I feel like the real app of reality is epigesturetics. Every move we make is recorded in the fabric of reality and moves us towards a certain possibility, we can choose a different action. The next moment, if we're always acting, based on the movement of love, that doesn't take time to figure that one out. So we can immediately changed our path. And I feel like our gestures harvest and uncover that world of love. As we move as love, it's like our bodies are painting that into actuality. It's kind of like carving a sculpture. And as we move in the fabric of love as love that sculpt us as well, it's sculpture, neurology, and our body. It's like a game of love. And our body is quantum it has quantum effects, it makes things possible. It creates, and it has a certain range of motion, and gestures. The music of love can play through us. gestures, and words are the notes of the quantum body instrument. Can we go from seeing problems to seeing possibility? And we've been turned into thought processors instead of quantum processors, possibility craters, and our thought process creates a vortex of sound that keeps us separate from the flow of life. And, and that listening that hearing. We can't hear that subtleness when we're listening to our own thoughts, we're giving voice to the past so we can't give voice to the moment. And we've superimposed our thought process over life process. And I wonder if freedom is from the pre formulation of words. And I want to say again that Krishnamurti said that meditation is unpremeditated art. So nothing premeditated, nothing going on in terms of cognition. And I feel like that's a similar way to saying, harvest practice, embody or practice one's mania in a way, it becomes an art form. So in a way, it's the art of mania. And maybe that's part of math consciousness is the art of living. There's no formula for living and if one puts a formula After living, then that's not living. Because formulas aren't alive. And human beings, and other living things aren't alive. And I don't think we live in reality, we live in mi ality. And I wonder if our language can be our fruit. A plentiful harvest that we share the fruit humans produce is language. And right now we're not really making fruit with it, we're making weeds and weed killer can our language be of insight and create vision. And I wrote down a peer, as in one peer, and to peer as in two people. But what I was looking at was a peer is what appears and to peer is to look deeply into. So a peer to peer is what appears to look deeply into. And I was thinking about that in terms of my brain, buddy, and wondering what we'll end up talking about, we might talk about our experiences. And there could be commonality there. And it might show in a way that we speak the same language, a language of seeing an experience and seeing beyond experience, and what it possibly means and harvesting the fruit of language differently and sharing it. I wonder if so called psychosis is fear leaving the system, or fears of leaving the system of thought, because there's some suppose it safety in that it could be fear of change, fear of transformation, fear of breaking out of the chrysalis seems like a bit of a tide, this energy comes in this consciousness and animates us, and then it goes out. And then when it goes out, all the things on the sea floor are exposed. So they have to be adapted to when there's no consciousness, and when there's a lot of consciousness. So in a way, we have to be kind of like barnacles. And our vision gets written over by programs in the structure of thought, like the mental health system, we speak in a different way. And we're speaking a little bit out there and not quite making sense because we're learning a new language of perception. And so afterwards, we learn the language of pathologizing ourselves. But it would be cool to still keep learning this language of perception and being animated by consciousness. That's kind of like when you're a kid. And around one parent, you know, you can be goofy and around the other parent, you know, you have to be serious. It's sort of like, realizing that we're being subject to certain authoritative structures or not. And I was thinking about falling in gravity and how the body takes over and the senses take over in order to save our life. And I was thinking that the speed of consciousness is kind of like, the speed of falling in gravity. It's way faster than thinking. So again, it's just the brain operating at a faster speed. And it's a speed faster than thinking. So when we think that we are thinking process, then it can be scary, because we think we're out of control. But really, it's just faster processing. And then the slow processing of thinking is afraid. And that it's sort of like if somebody falls in Gravity, and they managed to save themselves somehow. They're not and they realize it was quicker than the speed of thought. They didn't have to think about it. They would just be happy that they managed to save their life that and in that way, when the consciousness comes in, it's happening to save life in a way because it's life energy itself, this time. Consciousness. And thought, is delay. It's dividing up life. And so sometimes we fall in consciousness. And then after it happens, we're all thinking and stuff like, Oh, this means I'm ill or something. But it could have been some other mechanism of healing and helping the brain and life and the field of the universe. It's a faster processing. And again, since thought can never be faster than that process of consciousness, we can never really think about it and encapsulated, so there's no real point. So when it's over to say, that means it's all this mental illness and stuff that could never capture what actually happened. Or even after something like a terrifying so called psychosis, just forget about it. And so when we're in that map conscious state, we're being pulled by strings, kind of like puppets of the environment, puppets of perception. Right now, we're puppets of thought, are puppets of the past. But we could actually be puppets of the universe. The word puppet is kind of funny. So being a puppet of the universe is like being fully alive. Whereas being puppets of thought, is just being a biological robot. And this choice process is very binary. It's good or bad. Whereas the consciousness is animation. It's multi dimensional animation, being animated by the sights, the perceptions, the insights, the sounds, the feeling, the smells, everything all at once. So the quantum is a computation of animation. And thought is a contraction of this animation. It tones down the animation by toning the nervous system with sounds. And I feel like we're animated by gravity and consciousness. Just like we can fall in Gravity, we can fall in consciousness. And we don't actually fall in consciousness, but it's the faster speed that is faster than thought, that renders thought obsolete. And then that's when we're flowing with consciousness. And consciousness is related to gravity, because our thoughts contract our nervous system and our muscles and change our center of gravity, and it changes our degrees of freedom in motion and how we gesture in actuality. So, less thoughts mean, less gravity means more consciousness, and more action and more degrees of freedom in gesture, which gestures in these other realities. And these thought, sounds, images through our nervous system, prevent clarity of perception, that is needed for the fluidity of action and learning. And I say learning because this perception is its own learning process and we learn to move as consciousness and as the moment fluidly as opposed to moving. According to Richard programs, it's actually learning how to be alive in a way. Learning how to move in the field of consciousness, learning how to dance as loveI feel like the mind of humanity, the total mind is trying to free us from the thought that was necessary. But the mind of humanity is testing whether it can release us from those programs, and trust us to perceive and act as love. And it feels powerful. And so when we get in touch with that power, do we share it? Or do we use it against people? Would we use it to hurt? Or would we use it to help. And I feel one of the measures of this is how we act towards nature. So can we look at another creature doesn't matter where it is on the totem pole, and look with love, and respect and admiration for the part that it plays in the whole. And when we do that, it's registered in that creature. It's registered in the mind of the collective of that creature. And that creature knows, just like how today I was sitting, and a lizard just came up right beside me, and then ran over my shoes that I had taken off and put beside me, and then started sending himself. And seems like we all have thought, parachutes. In order to slow down, moving in the field of love as love. We're attached to our me, we don't understand what would be acting if we didn't have this parachute of thoughts. We can fall in love, but we can't fall in Gravity, we can fall in consciousness. I think part of my test was years ago when I made that video with the flies. And I was in awe of these flies. And in a way, it could have been my invitation into these perceptions, and starting to make sense of them backwards and forwards at the same time. And I said in the video, I wouldn't hurt a fly. And one way to get into flow is to look at nature beyond human constructs, and not look at the separate thing and name it but actually see its inter relatedness and be curious about what it does with its time and it's life energy. I wonder if we can let beauty run through our nervous system, run through us, run as us and animate us are meant to be the most beautiful creatures on earth, with the ability to appreciate beauty, to look at it, and also to make more of it. But we're using our beautiful instrument to destroy beauty. And we don't realize we're destroying ourselves. I was happy to find that quote, in the Krishna Murty book that says, when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. Because I had that sense a long time ago. So beauty is the fuel. Truth is perception. And love is action. But all those could be interchanged. And I remember Krishnamurti saying that, that beauty is indestructible. Think the indestructible element is that beauty. That's always there. I feel like thought is a holding pattern. It's holding so many human beings in a pattern. And really, we want to be released from that pattern. And the me is a pattern. And I feel like our senses become a quantum sense. We sense possibilities. We see relationships. And that's where we learn. I was editing a video and I was watching myself and While watching myself, it was the first time I really had this sense that I could see that I'm speaking what I'm seeing. Because I was going on and on for like 10 minutes. And as I was saying more and more, I was actually speaking from what I was seeing. And I'm always doing that. But it was the first time I actually could see myself seeing as I was speaking. And I probably could before but it was the first time I was really aware that I was really following what I was seeing, as I was saying it because it was the first time I was hearing it, since I said it, because I say things from nothing. But I really had this extra sense of seeing what I was saying. And maybe that's good in terms of if somebody watches this one day, if one can actually see what i'm saying, When I'm saying it, or see that I'm saying what I'm seeing not saying stuff from pre formed thoughts in my brain, because that's really, the whole point of it is to be able to see and say for yourself, or listen and say listen to these subtle things in the air. Really, we just want to be in touch with that voice and give voice to that. Because it's infinite. I wonder what happens when love loses control. Seems like thought is trying to control this love. It's afraid of it. I feel like what we project out of our eyes, the light and sound limits possibility. It's premature collapsing of the wavefunction. We don't allow all the information to penetrate our being and then make the quantum calculation and respond with our full being. We respond according to the programs and images that we're projecting. So it's like that light coming out of us. And that sound coming out of us that is invisible to others is meeting and breaking up all the information, light and sound coming towards us. And so it's chopping up all the information. So one can receive the whole impression on the clear mind screen and collapse the wave function. And I feel like it's actually that's part of what creation is, is is having that correct information clearly. impress upon one and then responding creatively. One can respond in many possible ways. So it's not necessarily one correct response. But it's definitely likely actually all correct responses doesn't matter what you do, really. But when one is choosing between programs, it can never be a correct response because it's old. And it's it's gone out to meet the information coming in and and impinged upon it and impeded it. So, one is even getting any of the information. So So when all the information is collected in a quantum way. One has the degrees of freedom to respond in many possible ways. And the thing is that when one is in touch with that, one does even really know oneself what one is going to say or do exactly. And in that way one is kind of entertained by oneself because everything is surprising even what one does, because it's not coming from past programs. So if I even think about my day to day, I didn't really plan anything. It was a day of complete possibility. The past is collapsing. The present is impinging upon the present. Or it's actually making it so we can't collapse wave functions. Because there's a hologram in the way. After my hike today, I caught back and everything seemed brighter. Even the kitchen, it just seemed so bright. And there was an orange and I picked it up. And it seemed so bright. And I was thinking about how beauty is related to color. So when things seem more beautiful and vibrant, it must have some kind of association to the quality of the nervous system. And it's sort of a measure of where one's at. If one can be in awe of an orange. When one is seeing oranges all day long for for several weeks, then that's the different quality beyond the things as they are are the things that we would normally measure them as like this is an orange, big deal. And I think there could be a diligence in consciousness to keep the programs in abeyance. And I feel like consciousness is when we are really awake. So there's a sleep state, which is sort of like glow. And then there's a programmed state which is kind of like no as in knowing things acting based on previous knowing and also an O as and just saying no to the living, whatever one is encountering and the awake state which is flow. So glow, no and flow. I hope to create perceivers seers people who can see meaning and unfold that. Can we be masters of mania, of the wave of consciousness, can we serve that wave? Can we be moved by celebrating possibilities instead of conflict and problems? And I feel like medicating changes our voice from possibilities to problems, from the movement of consciousness and the mind to the movement of thought and programs.I was thinking about today how it's quite safe to flow here where I am. It's safe to be a ping pong ball and just bounce around doing whatever, because whatever it is, that I run into, will be something safe and beautiful and have a harmless quality. And I was wondering, if I take that same movement of this brain and nervous system out into society, that it doesn't really translate well, and one can run into fearful things, and respond quite strongly or want to retract quite strongly. And when one is moving around, sort of randomly, one can start to accumulate a sense of unsafety. And then feel like it's actually safer to retreat to the programs of thought and society, and move around based on those. In a way I feel like so called psychosis is the fear of being alone outside the programs. So if there were more of us outside the programs, we wouldn't be alone outside the programs, and it wouldn't be so easy to get afraid. And I was thinking about awareness and how we need to be aware in order to make an art out of our life. We can't be unaware because unawareness is defaulting to the programs. And beauty is our full self. And I feel like I can see beauty in nature. And sometimes I have a hard time seeing it in humanity. But I remember being able to look at people and change people into their beautiful self, a self that I don't even feel they were aware was contained within their being. But I think looking with those kind of eyes, changes people. I wonder how to do that. I sort of had a sense of wondering about the possibilities of the human brain, because in that state of so called mania, there was this in touchiness with those possibilities, but not really understanding how they worked. And it could actually be just the seeing possibilities and collapsing the wavefunction around that. But the trouble is, one eventually sees scary possibilities and sees one moving towards that. And it's scary. So one retreats. So moving between perceiving in problems and perceiving and possibility is a dance and a flux that maybe we have to get used to until the brain is more settled in that seeing of possibilities. Because when the brain is in that state, it's actually creating those possibilities that it sees, because we're usually seeing thoughts and a very limited reality based on that. So it's almost like the brain being comfortable with infinity. And can we glimpse people into wakefulness. And when we first get in touch with my consciousness, it feels like we're out of control because it's faster processing. And thought, tries to come in and resume control. And when it can't, then we see that we're not our thoughts or there's a power beyond our thoughts. And I feel like the nerves have to release the sluggishness of the thought programs. And I talked before about random DICOM provisions. I made up this exercise thing where you stick weights and go weights and wrist weights on into Sort of spin around and, and in a way, bring space into the body. But I think map consciousness and so called mania is a type of random de contraventions of the universe. The universe gives us synchronicity, and all these different things, but they're actually deprogramming language and gestures, to see that there's other forces at play, and for the opportunity to play with them. And I sort of just saw that when one has access to all those powers, oftentimes it gets used for oneself. And when one comes back when realizes that the point of power extra energy is to give it to others, because if only one person has power, then it's usually used as power over others. But it can be used as energy to share with others, so they have it too. So the nervous system is learning to act faster. It's like the nerves want to act a certain speed. But then thoughts are getting in the way. It's almost like how elite athletes have mental blocks. Sometimes they're overthinking things, and they're actually not playing as well as they can. Like they're really close to the championship point. And they play really poorly in the last part, because they're overthinking things. They're thinking about the result. They're not just playing and this state is actually not about results, or goals or anything like that, at all. So as soon as one wants to use something for a result, or particular thing, then the power is gone. And then all of a sudden, I came up with this crazy theory, that thought is an illness that has infected the human nervous system. Consciousness is trying to heal us of this. It's trying to purge the programs and the thoughts. And map consciousness is a ti programming language. And just as we wouldn't listen to two songs at the same time, why would we listen to our me voice? And then we can't hear the universe. Me is the noise that prevents hearing the universe. And I wonder why did our nervous system get infected with sound? I wonder if it's human percept to deficiency virus. The sound is inner sound, blocks our perception. And there was thinking about the term ESP or extrasensory perception, and how in map consciousness we get in touch with quantum sensory perception q SP, when I wrote that thing about being infected with sound viruses, I got freaked out because I had some premonition like extrapolations from it. And then I realized that if we're infected by a language virus, or a sound virus, then it's mainly a problem of how we use language, or how language uses us. But really, if this is what it's partially about, then it's helpful. We've been taken over by the sound of our own voice. And when we see that we can use our voice in creative ways, and also to give voice to beauty. And that's not a goal. It's not something to do in the next 10 years or to attain it's something that can be done now and can only be done now. There's no goal in beauty. We can't make beauty into a goal. And if we saw this beauty and spoke as that we wouldn't think in terms of goals.Two nights ago, I was trying to fall asleep and I couldn't fall asleep. And then I felt like I was going into this vast emptiness. It was almost like I could feel myself. Looking into the unknown, the void consciousness itself, I could see the patterns and the play of light. And it felt like that play of energy was the energy that created all things. And it could create anything. I saw a big fish swimming. But it was like the energy pattern of the fish. And I had the sense that the fish could just easily be created from the energy because the pattern is there. And in a way, all the molecules and biology is a result of that pattern. So it might look like all this complicated evolution has to happen. But really, all of that complexity rests upon the pattern when it's manifest. And then I just felt like my consciousness or consciousness was trying to leave my body and travel all over the place and And when that happens, it feels like it can start to feel scary. My heart was pounding and then I was feeling pretty terrified, and I got up and I grabbed a Seroquel. And I took it. And I also put my zap strap beside my bed, and then I unlocked the door. And I also grabbed my phone and the charger. So that's sort of my little safety plan. Because I know if I had my phone, then I can call for help. If the doors unlocked, someone can get in. If I have my zap strap, I can secure myself if I no longer feel safe. And the odd thing was that as soon as I took the Seroquel, it went away. Like it wasn't like oh, I have to wait 10 minutes for it to kick in. It was just taking it, it stopped. And then I eventually had to take another one to fall asleep. I couldn't quite fall asleep with just one. But it was interesting because when I got up and I was scared, I could hear and feel this very faint sense of what I will just call right now the suicide program. Having this sense that being that terrified, meant that I had to end my life because it was just too scary. And I feel like I've talked about this before where when the consciousness is coming back to the body. It's scary. So consciousness goes on this journey is seeing all these things the formless realm and then nothing is and then I wonder if it's partly that it becomes scary. So consciousness goes back to the body. And one of the things that gets you to go back is taking a pill or maybe even just the gesture of taking a pill it doesn't even have to kick in that that pattern of getting up and taking a pill is like saying Okay, that's enough of that. And the thing too is that I'm in California and I can't afford to be hospitalized and I don't have my family here to support me and things like that. And part of me feels like since that happened maybe I should just go home but I'm going to see how it is. I'm going to continue to take the Seroquel and I took to that first night and last night I had to take three I took one convulsive took another one couldn't fall asleep. took another one and then I fell asleep. So today I definitely feel drugged up. It's almost like having a poison. My brain cells, so consciousness doesn't come in and just take over so much. I wonder why consciousness wants to leave my body, maybe I'm not taking good enough care of my body, maybe I'm not putting enough care into my body. I used to put a lot of care into my body. That was one of the main things I did. And now I don't really do that at all. I'll go to the kitchen and just grab chips to eat or ice cream or whatever's there, I'm not really paying attention to taking care of myself. Whereas before, I would probably spend four hours a day just taking care of myself. And I don't know if that's true, but maybe my body needs that gesture. And I was reading a book last night wholeness in the implicit order by David Bohm. And it's really interesting. And it talks about our use of language and changing our use of language to a different structure. So there's not all this emphasis on division. And I didn't really get through that chapter yet, but I tried to read it today, and I can't even focus. So part of me feels like when I've seen too much, or my brain is too active, it gets to this place where consciousness is even like leaving this body to gather more information from other places than what's immediately perceptible. And then when it starts to do that, it's almost like my brain consciousness is going too far beyond the skill set of my brain or the collective brain. Or it's gone too far outside the collective level of consciousness. And it needs to come back. So taking a pill isn't necessarily saying that my brain is diseased, it's almost too fluid. It's so fluid that it kind of goes beyond itself. And and I think that some people can probably master that, and maybe I will at some point, but I haven't so far, I haven't been able to keep going in it. And I don't see maybe there's no point in going into it like that, because the unknown is infinite. And once the brain goes into the unknown, it's in the infinite and the body is finite. So the body would get afraid of the brain going on into infinity, because if it goes too far, it can almost want to stay there in infinity, just traveling around choice lessly, powerfully, fluidly, and, and I've talked about the adjacent light body, and I feel like one day we'll actually all live as light bodies. So when we do the fluidity of consciousness and the fluidity of the body will be in alignment, and it won't matter if consciousness goes off. But right now, since we're in these material bodies, it does matter. And the fact that I'm in California, I have to be extra careful. So it's kind of difficult because I don't have anyone to talk to. And if I do then maybe I don't want to freak people out. And forgive me if I'm talking kind of like well, blah, blah. I feel like I can't really enunciate things properly. My mouth is like slow and slow down. My whole physiology is poisoned and slowed down. And I'm okay with that. I think my whole being just needs to rest and so I also Talk to the people from hardy nutritionals. And they sell a micronutrient supplement that's good for people who have these kinds of concerns. And oftentimes, people can come off their medication. And I'm not planning to come off my medication on purpose, but I will likely start that settlement somewhat, because it might actually help with some of these things I'm experiencing, I feel like if it helps somebody was, say, so called psychosis. And it's giving the brain the right nutrition to not have consciousness come in and push the brain into altered state experiences. And it might be actually the right nutrition for perception, to be able to just perceive and not be flung into the whims of those perceptions. And I wonder about this, because I think there's actually something to the fact that so many people get thrust into this process of consciousness animating us and sort of being these calling birds calling out the fact that something's wrong with society structure. And that's why people are going into these other states of consciousness. And I remember a quote, I think her name was Emily Levine, and it was in her TED talk about trixter. And I want to go back to it actually, because she talked about something like, at the end of her talk, she said something like, Don't go too far into beauty. Because you have to be able to meet your audience. And I feel like my brain has just gone too far into beauty. It's too beautiful here. And my brain does this when it's starting to thrive. And so in a way, since society is not designed for thriving in the very fabric of the brain needs to be poisoned, in order to sort of come back down to the resonance of what's really there collectively. Because as Krishnamurti says that I am the world and the world is me. And I do sense this very strongly. Sometimes. I don't, I don't know, I just, I really want to be able to stay here to go to emotional CPR in early April. If I can get to that point. At least that would be great. But I do want to stay here longer. But I do have to be so careful. And if I ended up going back early. I just I just don't know what to do with myself. Because if this little blip was kind of a bit of a so called crisis that's only two months, I thought I would have easily five months at least without a sign of anything, especially being in such a beautiful place. So to have it come on after two months, in this beautiful place, is kind of freaky. And now I'm carrying my zap strap and my Seroquel with me, Everywhere I go, and my phone and my charger just actually be extra safe. And it seems to really help and work. Like as soon as I have those items, I just feel like I can't hurt myself. So it's almost like the brain is scared back to the body. Or the mind is scared back to the body and then part of it is that it's scary. But I also feel safe. So I'm gonna keep taking the Seroquel every day for at least a week. Maybe two, like I did before. But the differences this time it's after two months. But it wasn't a full blown crisis. Like it wasn't Like, last time, it was maybe like before last time, I had a little tiny so called panic attack. And I took out Seroquel, and I didn't need it. And I kept not taking it for a couple of weeks. And then eventually, I needed to take it and go through a full crisis. So I'm wondering if this time I did the thing that I keep saying to myself, I mean to do which is take it at the first sign, instead of being like, okay, I'll ride out this wave, alright, of this wave, and then not taking it. So this time being in the scenario that I'm in where I can't risk going into a full blown crisis, I took it sooner. So maybe I'll have to take it for two weeks, every two months, or something, I don't know. But it just makes me slow and not able to read and, and makes it harder to do some of the tasks that I need to do. But I just really feel like I do need that psychological safety to just come off these meds and, and be healthy. And I just really wish there was a supportive community for that. And there are but it's just a few and far between. So I might lay here and make some videos, and because it doesn't require very much reading is just talking. But I remember last time, not having the urge to make videos at all. So that might happen again. But I could at least catch up on some of the things that I've written. And I was even thinking today about how these videos are good in a way because one day, I could just die, I could just kill myself and it could just be over. And at least by creating this daily without waiting to accumulate some kind of special protocol or how to which I don't really think is possible, then just sort of an acknowledgement of the moment and and maybe putting some of that language out there. Re languaging and playing with language. And that's the thing with a crazy wise Town Hall. They're saying how should we frame this instead of the mental illness paradigm and how do you frame infinity. We're trying to frame something that can be framed. It's this process that No words can ever capture. It's a process of life. I'll talk more about that later. So he had two weeks of dullness. But I'm starting to see that I just have to poison myself back. poisoned my brain so it can't see so much so it can process so much information. So it doesn't get lost in so much beauty. It's almost like learning to ride a horse and taking Seroquel it's like pulling on the reins like whoa, slow down. I can't go that fast. Again, it's not so much about anything. It's not about something. It's not speaking about mental illness or anything. Or speaking about spiritual emergency. It's speaking as the Spirit. So we're trying to speak about the spiritual emergency or mental illness but It's more a matter of what we're speaking as, are we speaking as human beings? Or are we speaking as human beings? The emergence process itself is to disintegrate the me. So if we speak about the me, we're actually reinforcing the me. We need to speak as that which we experienced. But as experience now, each moment, so so we could look back and, and feel how we spoke before feel the quality of where we were speaking from. We were speaking from our experiences in the moment. And so it's not about thinking about those experiences, it's about continuing to speak as the moment and you can't frame that. There's no frame for that. And so all of this dialogue I've had with myself, it's not really a me speaking, and how I feel it. Through the emergence process, we emerge into being just a human being perceiving in the moment, free of stories. So no story can tell adequately anything about that place in us where we speak from. Really, it's about speaking the story of the moment, or the perception of the moment each moment. That stories about that. There's no that there. I don't know if I'm making any sense. And I am curious about this using language differently thing that David Bohm is going to talk about in his book. I feel like just speaking, as the moment is using language differently, whether we use old ways of structuring sentences or not, it's just a different quality of where the words are coming from. Because just to learn different ways of speaking, it will actually change consciousness, eventually to because it's changing the perspective and how we see by saying, I have no idea. Again, the forgetfulness is interesting. And that's part of being scared back into regular consciousness and taking drugs to feel that taking medication, I mean, it's like taking medication to feel again, separate. But interestingly enough, the other end is that consciousness tries to separate itself from the brain and leave the body. I'd love to be able to be supported to just not medicate myself during that and see what happens.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry.

Dr. Emily Levine, Associate Professor of Education and (by courtesy) History at Stanford University joined the podcast to talk about her new book, Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University , and lessons we can learn today from past evolution of the academic social contract.

Stanford Professor Emily Levine discusses her new book, Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University. Originally aired on SiriusXM on August 14, 2021.

Emily @ the Edge of Chaos interweaves Emily Levine's live performance with animation, appearances by scientists, and animated characters (John Lithgow as Sir Isaac Newton, Lily Tomlin as Ayn Rand, Leonard Nimoy as Sigmund Freud, Richard Lewis as Aristotle, Matt Groening as Aldo Leopold). Emily @ the Edge of Chaos uses physics, which explains how the universe works, to explain our metaphysics – the story of our values, our institutions, our interactions. Using her own experience and a custom blend of insight and humor, provocation and inspiration, personal story and social commentary, Emily takes her audience through its own paradigm shift: from the Fear of Change to the EDGE OF CHAOS! Emily Levine, like her film, was one-of-a-kind. She was a television writer and producer (Designing Women, Love & War and Dangerous Minds), a stand-up performer, and an out-of-the box-thinker, whose brilliant TED Talks have been watched by millions. She made this film with Wendy Apple, who produced and directed it. Wendy died in 2017 and Emily continued working on the film until she also passed away in 2019. Executive Producer Thea Kerman joins us to talk about how her friend and colleague, Emily Levine, poured her heart and should into making this film before cancer took her, and how the unexpected death of the director Wendy Apple played into Thea stepping in to guide the film to completion and distribution. Opening Friday, May 7 nationwide in virtual cinemas through KINO MARQUEE Featuring the voices of comic luminaries: Lily Tomlin as Ayn Rand John Lithgow as Sir Isaac Newton Leonard Nimoy as Sigmund Freud Richard Lewis as Aristotle Matt Groening as Benjamin Franklin...& more!

‘Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.’ William Shakespeare, Henry V Last week we were celebrating love and Valentines, which inevitably led to thoughts of romance and different types of love. But despite a lot of talk of love everywhere – from card shops to films to books and the media – we see evidence of a lack of love all around us.  That lack of love is not only evident in the terrible things we hear on the news, but also in something closer to home.  And that’s the love we have for ourselves – or self-love. What is self-love? What are we talking about when we talk about self-love or loving yourself? A good place to start is by saying what it’s not. It’s not about being selfish or self-centred – even though it’s easy to jump to this conclusion when we talk about loving ourselves. And it’s not about showing off or having an over-inflated ego or sense of self. Nor is self-love about being narcissistic. In fact narcissism is the opposite of self-love because we’re seeking approval of ourselves, as this quote from Emily Levine illustrates: ‘I am a recovering narcissist. I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. It is actually drearier than self-love; it is unrequited self-love’. Emily Levine So that’s what it’s not – but what is it? Self-love is about our ability to deal with and cater to our own needs and desires. It’s about having a healthy view and sense of our self. It’s tied up with our sense of self-esteem, self-worth and confidence in ourselves. Yet how often we don’t love and respect ourselves. 6 ways we don’t love ourselves What does it look like when we don’t love ourselves?  Here are 6 tell tell signs to look out for, clues that indicate you’re not being loving towards yourself. Negative and derogatory self-talk This is the inner dialogue that goes on in our mind. For example: I  can’t or I couldn’t do that I’ve never been any good at… Why would they want to hear what I’ve got to say… They wont be interested in me  I’m not clever enough to… Stupid man …. Why am I so silly or stupid (one of Julian’s favourites) I feel disappointed in myself that….(one of Kathryn’s favourites!) Being Critical and impatient It’s not just what we say to ourselves but also what we say out loud and in front of others, including when we put ourselves down in front of others. This is where you’re critical of  yourself e.g. ‘why can’t I do that’, or where you’re impatient with yourself for getting something wrong or with how long it’s taking you to get something right.  Think about when we’re learning something new.  It might be a new or complicated skill like playing a musical instrument, so of course we’re not going to pick it up straight away. But still we somehow think we should be able to do it much quicker than we realistically can. We’re impatient, as if it’s some defect or lack in us that’s the cause of our slowness. We get frustrated or even angry - when really it’s our expectations that are unrealistic. The same goes for when it takes long time to do a task or our work.  Impatience or criticism creeps in and we question why we can’t focus more or why’s it taking so long to get it done. These are the signs of being hard on yourself that we both recognise only too well! We don’t look after ourselves One of the classic signs of a lack of self-love is when we don’t look after ourselves physically.  We might show a blatant disregard for our health and what we put into our bodies or what we do with our bodies, such as indulging in risky or dangerous behaviour. When you love someone you want the best for them. Yet many of us fill our bodies with food and drink that’s no good for it and harmful in the long run. Is it we don’t love ourselves enough to give us the best we can, or is the quick reward of eating something we like the taste of, more appealing?  It’s a complex subject and might not apply to you – but it’s worth thinking about what you eat and if you’re being loving to yourself. Or is that little something you call a treat and reward, really the opposite? Neglecting your needs This applies to you if you run around looking after everyone else whilst neglecting your own needs. Many parents will relate to this.  Of course most people love looking after their children and doing things for their family, friends and community but there is a point at which it becomes about everyone else  - which is fine until you find yourself neglecting your own needs. Another form of neglecting your needs is when you live how others think you should live rather than following your own dreams and aspirations. Shame Sometimes shame gets in the way of loving our self. You might shame yourself about the decisions you make or have made in the past.  Or you try to hide something from your past because you think it puts you in a bad light or you regret it.  But you might also try to hide parts of you from those around you because you’re ashamed or don’t like some aspect of yourself.  Maybe you’re afraid they wont like you if they were aware of it, or you fear opening up the whole you will make you vulnerable to getting hurt. Lack of self-worth These are examples of when we exhibit behaviour and characters lacking in self-love, but they also describe a lack of self-worth. This is when people don’t consider themselves worthy or deserving of looking after or nurturing themselves, because or an underlying, possibly unrecognised, sense that they don’t think they’re worth it.  But they are worth it – we’re all worth it. We need to think of ourselves in loving ways and to feel and experience that self-love. Not in a selfish way but because self-love is good for us, our families and society. What to do next Be on the look out for how you do or don’t love yourself, especially those signs of when you’re not being loving towards yourself like your inner voice and critic. Catch it out and if you’re serious about this make a note of it. Write down the thought or word or action and the time and date. This will help you in two ways: It will help you to look out for when you’re not being loving to yourself by raising your awareness of how and when you do it. If you do this practical action and note the date and very importantly the time, you might be able to detect a pattern. So does it happen when you’re tired or stressed or when you’re around particular people or a specific situation or you’re doing a particular activity, like learning or practicing something. In case you’re worried about being selfish, it’s not selfish to look after yourself, or want to change yourself and your situation. The fact is we have more to offer others when we care for ourselves first. Love starts with you.  Improve your life and you’ll improve the lives of those around you and have more love to give.
