Happy Valentine's Day!Mrs Murray met the UK StrikeFans.com contingent and Badly WiredLamp (“and friends”) on Thursday to talk about the Cormoran Strike novels. Yesterday, Friday the 13th, Rowling tweeted about the secret she had told them — the title of Strike9:Nick Jeffery found the most likely source of the title Sleep Tight, Evangeline, assuming it is not an anagram, in six minutes:BadlyWiredLamp who was at the Rowling meeting congratulated Nick on twixter seven minutes later: “Well done for finding it Nick!” with a hand salute emoji. Which semi-confirmation from a witness suggests he is spot on.Even more impressive, Nick wrote up a flash post about The Whiskey Shambles and other ‘Evangeline' possibilities at the HogwartsProfessor weblog, ‘Sleep Tight, Evangeline – Title Release for Strike 9.' Nick and John will be discussing this news as well as the Psalter and Head of Persephone charms with miniature book, Tolkien, and mythology expert Dimitra Fimi this weekend for a post here next week. See her ‘Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy' to prepare for that conversation. Stay tuned!But it's Valentine's Day! John and Nick celebrate this Hallmark Holiday with a journey through the Cormoran Strike novels' V-Day celebrations and a discussion of the various Valentines and Cupid's in the story, with special emphasis on the Cupid and Psyche myth that Rowling has suggested is the series story template.That suggestion came the week after Hallmarked Man's publication in the first of her Public Service Announcements to “Robin and Strike fans:”This image came as a surprise even to Hogwarts Professor subscribers because, though we have been writing and talking about the Cupid and Psyche myth as one of the mythological templates behind the Strike series since early 2021, it was the first time Rowling had acknowledged this publicly. Since the September revelation of this connection by the author and the appearance of the head of Persephone at the end of her Strike9 clues Christmas Charm bracelet, Strike fandom is now on board with the idea. Which on-boarding Nick and John celebrate with this Hearts and Flowers conversation, in which:* Nick reviews the Valentines Day events in the Strike series, the importance of which makes 14 February to Serious Strikers what Halloween is to Harry Potter fans;* John discusses the post American Bar office scene in Troubled Blood that let the cat out of the bag about the Cupid and Psyche myth just beneath the Strellacott romance;* Nick updates that with Rowling's PSAs and charm pointers to the Trials of Psyche in Robin's story;* John lays out how and where Hallmarked Man features Valentine Longcaster, the character with the Cupid name, and a Valentine's Day conflict with dogs to Guard the Gates of Hell (from charting Parts Five and Six);* Nick journeys back to Cuckoo's Calling and explains how Lula Landry's death and Robin's first meeting with Strike are twist on Cupid and Psyche with Venus, Psyche, and Cupid, Hephaestus, and Ares all with their equivalents in Charlotte, Robin, and Cormoran;* John ups the ante of the conversation by bringing in Edmund Spenser and C. S. Lewis, two writers Rowling loves, both of whom wrote stories that turn on Cupid and Psyche, and suggesting that Galbraith, in using the Eros-Anteros distinction of those writers in the Strike series is answering allegorically the core question of human life: whether to focus the soul on the ephemeral body and its desires or on the noetic faculty of soul, the Heart, logos within us;* Nick and John then discuss Robin and Strike's individual relationships Cuckoo to Hallmarked in light of Cupid-False Cupid and taking turns going through the Strike novels with a look at the principal murder victim and murderer and their respective relationships;* John shares the Jungian interpretation of Cupid and Psyche as the mythic representation of feminine actualization, the chrysalis of female identity;* And more!Below are the links to posts on this subject mentioned in their back and forth and to a translation of the original myth. Happy Valentines Day — and stand by for more discussion of Sleep Tight, Evangeline, the Psalter and Persephone Charms, and all things Strike and Mythology with Dimitra Fimi.Links Mentioned in the Valentines Day Celebration Conversation:Rowling Points to Myth of Cupid and Psyche in order to Console Strike Fans Disappointed with Hallmarked Man (8 September 2025, Nick Jeffery)Nick shares the context of Rowling's tweet (fan disappointment!) and the background information about the illustration she chose for it.The Most Pleasant and Delectable Tale of the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche (Apuleius)A translation of the Silver Age Latin tale from Apuleius' Golden Ass.A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus (22 April 2021, John Granger)The first post to discuss Rowling's use of this specific myth within Cormoran Strike, it is essential reading and comes in four parts:* a discussion of Rowling's stated beliefs about the soul and how it is the focus of her story-telling,* a review of her psychological artistry in Potter and the post Potter novels and screenplays,* a synopsis of the Eros and Psyche myth, and* a point to point look at the parallels in the story thus far with speculation about novels to come.Robin's Two Perfumes: The Meaning of Philosychos and Narciso (9 June 2021, John Granger)The names of Robin's baseline perfume, Philosychos, and the one she and Strike choose at story's end, Narciso, both point less to the bedroom than to Robin's allegorical, psychological, and mythological role as Psyche in the series.Erich Neumann in his Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine describes this discipline as a “prohibition against pity” which “signifies Psyche's struggle against the feminine nature.” …Psyche's last trial involves her having to confront death, a “marriage” to which she was condemned as a sacrifice at the story's start, a meeting she can only survive by transcending her feminine qualities of nurturing and pity. She must become, if only temporarily, a narcissist to pass through Hades and return to the world of the Sun and to Cupid. The myth, in Jungian lights, is about her transcending the accidental self, here her feminine and sexual relation to Eros or Cupid, for “ego-stability” leading to “individuation,” ascent to the greater, immortal Self.Robin as resident psychologist and loving soul is the Psyche-cipher of the Strike mysteries. She differs from the relatively passive Human Beauty of the myth in her active and determined “struggle against the feminine nature,” her “What. I. Do!” She not only wrestles with her desires for domesticity and maternity in her thinking but stands up to Strike-Cupid in their Valentine's Day Street Fight and demands his respect or at least more considerate behavior. But she is still struggling with her difficulty to be the narcissist rather than the Great Mother when circumstances and her heroine's journey of psychological individuation demand that.Reading Rowling as Myth Maker and Myth Re-Writer: A Conversation with Dr Dimitra FimiNick Jeffery and John Granger converse with Dr Dimitra Fimi about Harry Potter, Cormoran Strike, Tolkien, Jane Eyre, and the Mythological Artistry of J. K. Rowling, Hogwarts Saga to Hallmarked ManThe Hallmarked Man's Mythological Template‘Cupid and Psyche's importance for grasping the depths of Strike 8, from the “necessity” of the Silver Vault and the three men in Robin's life, to spaghetti carbonara and ‘Maid of the Silver Sea'Ink Black Heart: The Mythic Backdrop (10 September 2022, John Granger)What Rowling is depicting in Robin's journey through the events and mystery of Ink Black Heart include a trap set by Venus, one that takes Robin to a personal and professional underworld or hell, her survival and endurance of every temptation by her determination to be steely rather than empathetic, especially with respect to a certain “lame fellow” (!), and her re-surfacing from hell a changed person, one worthy of begrudging Venereal approval (or Zeus' intervention — Rokeby!).Ink Black Heart: Strike as Zeus to Robin's Leda and Cupid to Mads' Psyche (10 November 2022, John Granger)These traditional portrayals of the every person's human and divine aspects, soul and spirit as man and woman in dynamic, cathartic relationship — think Romeo and Juliet, Redcrosse Knight and Una, Cupid and Psyche — are perhaps, with her alchemical symbolism, sequencing, and coloring, Rowling's greatest literary ‘reach' and achievement in the Strike series, albeit one largely lost on her her vast reading audience. The deliberate conjunction-melange of archetypal psychology, mythology, and spiritual allegory in these novels is, especially in combination with her hermetic artistry, intertextual playfulness (Aurora Leigh!), and chiastic structures, testimony to the author being one of the most accomplished and challenging writers of the age in addition to the most popular (and least well understood, even by her fans).Hallmarked Man: Freemasonry and J. K. Rowling (7 February 2024, Nick Jeffery)The Royal Arch degree is unique in England for including the ceremony of “Passing the Veils” symbolising the path to enlightenment that a mason undergoes as he progresses in the craft. Given Peter Rowling's upward social mobility from working class apprentice to engineer and moving from the Bristol suburbs to middle class Tutshill, it isn't beyond reason to wonder if Peter might have been tempted by the social and career advantages that freemasonry might have offered him and exposed a young Joanne to some of the symbolism.Edinburgh, as well as being the home of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, is also home to if not the oldest lodge in the world, then at least the one with the oldest records. Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) No. 1 has minutes of meetings from 31st July 1599. There have long been arguments between this Lodge and the one in Kilwinning on the other coast of Scotland as to which is the oldest. (see IVº of the Rite of Baldwyn above)J. K. Rowling's ‘G-Spot' and ‘Triple Play:' The Lake & Shed Secret of Her Success (21 September 2024, John Granger)I want to try tonight to explain as succinctly — and as provocatively — as possible why I think Rowling's ‘Lake and Shed' metaphorical explanation of how she writes offers a compelling reason for both why she writes and why readers around the world love her novels the way they do. I call this her ‘G-Spot' and ‘Triple Play' because it is her point of singular genius, the defining quality that separates her from contemporary story-tellers, which involves ‘Shed' artistry of three particular literary tools, all subliminal, which work together to achieve her aims.The Hallmarked Man's Flood of Names, Characters, and Plots (22 September 2025, John Granger)Rowling's seven Shed tools — psychomachia, literary alchemy, ring composition, misdirection towards defamiliarization, Christian symbolism, mythology, and inter-intratextuality (writing about reading and writing) — are all about the transformation of the human soul by cathartic experience in the imaginative heart, i.e., our spiritual reorientation. These traditional tools alone don't do it, of course; her capacity for creating archetypal characters that we care about in profound fashion is what gives the tools their grip on the heart.But, if a writer uses these tools in his or her Shed, the game being played and its stakes are not in question. Everything Rowling has written to date, with greater or lesser success (largely dependent on her control of the final product, cough*Warner Brothers*cough), shares this aim. Her global popularity testifies that much more often than not she hits her target to the delight of her readers.I assume this was her aim in Hallmarked Man. It's early days on the full exegesis of Strike8 in light of Rowling's Shed tools, Lake springs, and Golden Threads, but there are encouraging signs. My third reading of the book included my first ‘Aha!' moments with respect to the mythological template of the series, the Shed tool Rowling was openly urging her readers to think about in her recent Cupid and Psyche tweet.Jungian Interpretations of ‘Cupid and Psyche:'* Erich Neumann: Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine (A Commentary on the Tale by Apuleius)* Paul Diel: Symbolism in Greek Mythology: Human Desire and Its Transformations (A “psychological study of the symbols condensed in the fate of the mythological hero”)* Robert A. Johnson: SHE: Understanding Feminine Psychology (An interpretation based on the myth of Amor and Psyche and based on Jungian mythological principles)* Marie-Louise von Franz: Golden Ass of Apuleius: The Liberation of the Feminine in Man (originally A Psychological Interpretation of The Golden Ass of Apuleius)‘Tamspells' Point to Point Correspondence List of Events in the Strike-Ellacott Novels and the Myth of Cupid and PsycheThe list ‘Tamspells' made will be Nick and John's starting point in their upcoming conversation with her about how to see the myth beneath the surface of the storyCupid and Psyche Myth Highlights to Look for in Your Review at Home of the Strike Series:* Jealousy of Venus* Psyche's Wedding/Funeral March to Mountain Crag* Psyche Rescued by Cupid, stuck with his own arrow* Retreat to Hidden Castle, Love in Darkness* The Two Sisters* The Confrontation with Lamp and Knife* Psyche's Return Home; Death of Sisters (Pan cameo)* Psyche's Search for Cupid/Venus: Ceres Interview* Brought to Venus (Worry and Sadness)* First Trial: Seeds and Grains (Ant)* Second Trial: Wool from Golden Sheep (Reed)* Third Trial: Crystal glass for Black Stygian water (Zeus, Eagle)* Persephone Odyssey: Box for Beauty (Tower instructions)* Barley Cakes for Cerberus and Two Coins for Charon* Must ignore: “a lame man driving a mule loaded with sticks, a dead man swimming in the river that separates the world of the living from the world of the dead, and old women weaving.”* Meal in Underworld with Persephone* Return Trip, Falling to Temptation* Cupid intervention; intersession and deal with Zeus* Olympian Court Date* Marriage of Cupid and Psyche post Ambrosia, birth of PleasureStrike Novel Victim Eros Anteros Murderer Eros Anteros Cuckoo's Calling Lula Landry Evan Duffield Marlene Higson,Yvette Bristow, Guy Some, Jonah Agyuman John Bristow Alison Creswell Yvette Bristow The Silkworm Owen Quine Kathryn Kent Leonora/Orlando Elizabeth Tassel Michael Fancourt Owen Quine?

When Bella Freud—great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud—sat down with Esther Perel on Fashion Neurosis, I knew I had to listen. What unfolds is not a conversation about trends or aesthetics, but about identity, masculinity, desire, and the psychology of being seen.In this solo reflection, I explore clothing as a kind of “second skin”—a psychological boundary between self and world. Drawing from Perel's thinking on Eros in Mating in Captivity, Valerie Steele's idea of fashion as skin ego, and even a touch of Jack Morin's erotic equation, I reflect on why what we wear is never neutral.I share a story from my therapy room about helping an autistic client build confidence through intentional style, what it's like to shop for clothes with my 16-year-old son, and why paying attention to how people craft themselves might be one of the most countercultural practices available to us right now.Fashion isn't superficial. It's relational. It's embodied. And in a world where we rarely look up from our screens, noticing what someone is wearing might be one small way of saying: I see you.

Rafe looks forward to (St.) Valentine's Day and what it means from the Romans' Lupercalia, to multiple Saints (and a pope) Valentine, to shoeboxes with pink construction paper, to candy hearts, to philia, eros, and agape, to feelings and choices, to others as others, to St. Paul and the Corinthians (not those who made the famed Corinthian leather), to patience, kindness, bearing, believing, hoping, and enduring, to agape leading to eros, and to our ultimate desire to return to God.  Happy St. Valentine's Day on February 14th!*****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.

El presidente de la AFE y seguidor del cuadro madrileño, alega cómo los jugadores han vivido la suspensión del encuentro contra el Oviedo

In this episode, I'm joined by Elisabeth Schilling for a slow, careful conversation about Eros—not as romance or scandal, but as a force that shaped the early history of psychoanalysis itself.Using A Dangerous Method as a starting point, we explore Carl Jung's relationships with Sabina Spielrein and Toni Wolff, and the ethical, psychological, and relational tensions that emerge when desire enters spaces meant for healing, learning, and transformation. We talk about transference and countertransference before they were fully theorized, about intimacy before professional boundaries were clearly named, and about how early analysts struggled to hold erotic energy without being overtaken by it.This is not an episode offering verdicts or moral simplifications. Instead, it's an attempt to sit with paradox: how Eros animates creativity and depth, how it destabilizes certainty, and why the frame—in therapy, academia, and relationships—matters precisely because Eros is real.Along the way, we reflect on monogamy and polyamory as relational architectures, the danger of spiritualizing desire, the cost of boundary violations, and what Jung's unfinished struggles still teach us about intimacy, responsibility, and human limitation.This conversation is for listeners interested in depth psychology, ethics, and the complex terrain where desire, care, and power intersect.

6 DE FEBRERO  -  SAN PABLO MIKI Y COMPAÑEROS MÁRTIRES

“Es Juan, a quien yo le corté la cabeza, y que ha resucitado.”Del santo Evangelio según san Marcos: 6, 14-29.Lectura y reflexión: Pbro. Eligio Román Campoverde.En aquel tiempo, como la fama de Jesús se había extendido tanto, llegó a oídos del rey Herodes el rumor de que Juan el Bautista había resucitado y sus poderes actuaban en Jesús. Otros decían que era Elías; y otros, que era un profeta, comparable a los antiguos. Pero Herodes insistía: «Es Juan, a quien yo le corté la cabeza, y que ha resucitado».Herodes había mandado apresar a Juan y lo había metido y encadenado en la cárcel. Herodes se había casado con Herodías, esposa de su hermano Filipo, y Juan le decía: «No te está permitido tener por mujer a la esposa de tu hermano». Por eso Herodes lo mandó encarcelar.Herodías sentía por ello gran rencor contra Juan y quería quitarle la vida; pero no sabía cómo, porque Herodes miraba con respeto a Juan, pues sabía que era un hombre recto y santo, y lo tenía custodiado. Cuando lo oía hablar, quedaba desconcertado, pero le gustaba escucharlo. La ocasión llegó cuando Herodes dio un banquete a su corte, a sus oficiales y a la gente principal de Galilea, con motivo de su cumpleaños. La hija de Herodías bailó durante la fiesta y su baile les gustó mucho a Herodes y a sus invitados. El rey le dijo entonces a la joven: «Pídeme lo que quieras y yo te lo daré». Y le juró varias veces: «Te daré lo que me pidas, aunque sea la mitad de mi reino».Ella fue a preguntarle a su madre: «¿Qué le pido?» Su madre le contestó: «La cabeza de Juan el Bautista». Volvió ella inmediatamente junto al rey y le dijo: «Quiero que me des ahora mismo, en una charola, la cabeza de Juan el Bautista». El rey se puso muy triste, pero debido a su juramento y a los convidados, no quiso desairar a la joven, y enseguida mandó a un verdugo que trajera la cabeza de Juan. El verdugo fue, lo decapitó en la cárcel, trajo la cabeza en una charola, se la entregó a la joven y ella se la entregó a su madre.Al enterarse de esto, los discípulos de Juan fueron a recoger el cadáver y lo sepultaron.Palabra del Señor. Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.

Text us, We would love to her from YOU!What if pleasure isn't a distraction from your spiritual path, but a doorway into deeper consciousness? In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie is joined by erotic mystic and author Sharon Marie Scott for a grounded, thoughtful conversation on embodiment, pleasure literacy, and the intelligence of the body. Together, they explore how aliveness, sensation, and desire can become tools for spiritual growth, integration, sovereignty, and self-trust without bypassing, discernment, or nervous system regulation.This episode invites listeners to reconsider pleasure not as indulgence, but as a form of spiritual intelligence and embodied wisdom.Key Topics CoveredPleasure as a pathway to spiritual mastery and consciousnessThe difference between pleasure and the “relief of suffering”Shadow work vs. pleasure alchemyPleasure literacy and listening to the body as an oracleNervous system regulation and capacity for sensationSovereignty, power, and embodiment in spiritual and erotic spacesIntegration after peak experiencesDesire, myth-making, and the cultural narrative around pleasureReceiving, abundance, and the capacity for joyAbout This EpisodeIn this conversation, Sharon Marie Scott shares her perspective on what she calls the Pleasure Renaissance a cultural shift toward restoring pleasure, embodiment, and Eros as valid and essential dimensions of spiritual life. Rather than framing desire as something to transcend or control, Sharon invites listeners to explore how sensation, aliveness, and the erotic body can become portals to intuition, integration, and personal sovereignty.Dr. Sandra Marie brings the conversation into grounded territory, exploring nervous system regulation, discernment, integration, and the ethics of working with embodied and initiatory practices.This episode is for anyone who is spiritually curious, embodied, or exploring the intersection of intuition, healing, and consciousness, especially those sensing that the body itself holds wisdom we've been taught to ignore.Connect with SharonWebsite: https://sharonmariescott.com Substack: Life Turned On Instagram / TikTok / YouTube: @LifeTurnedOn Facebook Group: Life Turned OnSupport the showPlease subscribe and follow the show to get updates on new releases.Kindly asking to share with friends who may enjoy or benefit.Support Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious WildSoulsGathering.comEmbrace YOUR Wild Soul!https://www.youtube.com/@wildsoulgatheringhttps://www.tiktok.com/@spirituallycurioushttps://www.twitter.com/@soul_gatheringshttps://www.instagram.com/wildsoulgatheringshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/669456900799583

More Than Romance: The Universal Meanings of ConnectionFor many, Valentine's Day is a binary proposition: you are either gloriously in love and celebrating, or you are not, and thus, by implication, excluded from the feast. But this narrow view ignores the vast, rich landscape of human connection that exists beyond romantic partnership. It also overlooks the fascinating and forceful cultural pushback the holiday has always inspired. To truly understand Valentine's Day as a universal phenomenon, we must expand our definition of love and, paradoxically, listen to its critics. For in the voices of resistance, satire, and alternative celebration, we find a deeper, more inclusive vision for what this day can mean.The contemporary use of the term “love” encompasses a wide array of emotions, ranging from passion to preference. In contrast, the ancient Greeks distinguished among various forms of love, each with its own terminology. Eros denotes romantic and passionate love, which is the form most prominently commercialized on Valentine's Day. Philia refers to deep friendship and mutual respect, representing bonds between close friends and companions. Storge signifies familial affection, such as the love between parents and children or among siblings. Agape embodies selfless, universal love, characterized by compassion and altruism. Historically, Valentine's Day has offered opportunities to celebrate all these forms of love; for example, handwritten notes were frequently exchanged among friends in the eighteenth century. Emphasizing this broader conceptualization allows the holiday to transcend its exclusive association with romantic relationships and fosters inclusivity.Read full content hereMore Podcasts HereProduced by SimVal Media Group, USA

I missed this podcast so much, but finishing a book while keeping on top of my commentary deadlines has been brutal. The episode title — as some of you have probably guessed — is a bit deceptive. This is all about my favorite new-to-me films of 2025 and it skews heavily towards East Asian cinema and towards crime thrillers. There are actually more contemporary films on here than I would have guessed, as well as some real wild cards (especially in the runners up section), but they are ALL BANGERS. Fair warning that a number of them are heavy on the violence, sexual violence, and/or gore. Some show notes! As mentioned in the episode, here is Kevin’s incredible list of all movies mentioned on Eros + Massacre. And in case you missed the news that there’s a new Discord, here is another invite (these links are only good for 24 hours, but just comment if you need a new one or email me at samm.deighan at gmail).

"Love of neighbor is a path that leads to the encounter with God… closing our eyes to our neighbour also blinds us to God." - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love   Summary We begin with Love because marriage flows from our deepest identity and relationships, not just spousal dynamics. Created in the image of a loving, Triune God, we must first ask who God is and who we are in His eyes. Our relationship with God and with ourselves forms the foundation for loving others. Pope Benedict XVI's God Is Love reveals that eros and agape are inseparable dimensions of love: we are made to give and receive love. God's passionate, faithful love for His people—fulfilled fully in Jesus—becomes the model for marriage. In Christ, love of God and love of neighbor are one reality. Our first neighbor is our spouse, and loving them faithfully is the primary path to holiness and authentic love. Key Takeaways Love begins with God, not marriage Before focusing on spousal relationships, we must understand who God is and who we are in His eyes. Our identity as loved by God is the foundation for all love. You cannot love others without loving God and yourself rightly Knowing and receiving God's love allows us to love ourselves truthfully, which is necessary to love anyone else authentically. Eros and agape belong together Human desire (eros) is not bad; it is purified and fulfilled by God's unconditional love (agape). Love requires both giving and receiving. God's passionate love is revealed fully in Jesus Christ embodies God's self-giving love and draws us into communion—with God and with others—especially through the Eucharist. Marriage is the primary place love is lived Spouses are each other's first neighbors. Loving one's spouse faithfully is the clearest expression of love of God and the path to holiness.   Resources: Pdf of encyclical:  https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20051225_deus-caritas-est.html Join the Cana90 Fellowship:  https://messyfamilyproject.org/programs/cana90/fellowship-form/

This Law of One study night explored a bold cosmological thesis: that Earth, far from being a "prison planet," may serve as a pivotal catalyst for the Logos itself—a location where the Creator is learning something genuinely new at the macro scale. The Premise of Earth's Anomalous Position Doug opened by noting that while Earth is not unique as a third-density planet (Ra states that 33% of life-bearing planets host third-density experience), nor unique as a mixed-polarity planet, something extraordinary is occurring here. He proposed that Earth represents an extreme case—a location where the consequences of the veil experiment have reached their furthest expression. Ra describes the Logos as "a Protean entity that learns upon the macro scale"—and Doug invited the group to consider what kind of catalyst might provoke learning at that level. If we as individual beings learn through the intensity of our experiences, what experiences might teach the Creator itself? The discussion traced the composition of Earth's original third-density population at the beginning of the 75,000-year Master Cycle: One quarter: Native ape-body graduates from Earth's own second density One half: Souls from Mars, whose bellicose civilization destroyed their atmosphere mid-cycle One quarter: A mixture from thirteen other planetary groups—some third-density repeaters who didn't graduate with their home populations, others from planets whose aging suns could no longer support development As Troy observed, this created an unusually heterogeneous population—a "motley crew," in Doug's words—that has contributed to Earth's distinctive challenges. The Veil as Logoic Learning The conversation situated Earth's current condition within the larger context of the veil's implementation. Demarcus explained that prior to the veil, third-density beings experienced no forgetting: they could perceive the Creator directly, understood their purpose, yet felt no impetus to polarize. As Doug noted, Ra describes these pre-veil civilizations as existing in "monochrome"—without intensity or hue. Ra addresses this directly: "The first beings of mind, body, and spirit were not complex. The experience of mind/body/spirits at the beginning of this octave of experience was singular. There was no third-density forgetting. There was no veil." (Ra, 82.12) The veil's introduction created the conditions for genuine choice by separating the conscious mind from the unconscious—making each mysterious to the other. This generated the tension necessary for polarization, which in turn provided the "work" that allows consciousness to evolve. Doug likened this to the positive and negative charges in electromagnetism—polarity creates the capacity for movement, for transformation. The Paradox: A New Logjam Doug posed a provocative question: What if Earth represents the opposite extreme of the original logjam? Prior to the veil, beings were stuck in contentment, unable to polarize—like students born into wealth who see no need to study. Now, on Earth, we have a different kind of stuckness—millions of years of third-density repetition, where even our spiritual institutions can become entrapments. Doug pointed to the irony: "I know people who go to church... never miss a Sunday mass... and yet when you listen to them, oftentimes they're the most judgmental, the most alienating." The very structures meant to foster growth can perpetuate the same lower-chakra blockages they were designed to transcend. Barbara reflected on how "history, since the beginning of time has repeated itself, and still appears to be repeating itself." Yet Doug noted something new is emerging alongside the repetition: "We're repeating. But we're also increasing our self-awareness. So we know, maybe we're repeating." This is the peculiar gift of our moment—a growing gnosis within the repetition itself. Ra's Karmic Investment in Earth The discussion turned to Ra's own relationship with Earth. Doug highlighted that Ra, as late sixth-density beings, recorded their experience with Earth's population in "the great record of creation"—language suggesting implications beyond this solar system or galaxy. Ra's statement that "never again will any other group have to make the same mistakes" implies this situation is unprecedented. Ra became karmically entangled through their well-intentioned but naive interventions with the Egyptians. Yet this entanglement serves their own curriculum: "In learning how to balance the karmic imbalances that their influence created in earth's humanity... to try to redress those imbalances actually is their curriculum—how they're learning about the fine nuances of Karma in the universe." Ra's lesson, it seems, is unity—not merely within their social memory complex, but across the sphere of their influence. Their mistakes with us became their teacher. Ascension as Incarnation Perhaps the most practical teaching emerged around the concept of ascension itself. Doug cautioned against the desire to escape: "Ascension in the name of getting the heck out of here is exactly the thing that keeps us entrapped all the more in third density... If you want to ascend, you better learn how to incarnate all the more—into this body, into this thisness, and see the beauty of it all right here." This aligns with Ra's teaching that the harvest comes not through escape but through polarization achieved within the veil's constraints. Ra confirms Earth's birth into fourth density will occur through the beings who have learned to embody love here: "The earth, as you call it, is ready to be born, and the delivery is not going smoothly. When this entity has become born it will be instinct with the social memory complex of its parents which have become fourth-density positive." (Ra, 65.17) The way up, it turns out, is the way down—deeper into matter, into presence, into the very thisness we might wish to transcend. The Dignity of Being God's Sense Organs RuDee raised the question of whether Earth's role—being part of a larger cosmic learning process—diminishes individual experience. If we're like children playing with Fisher-Price versions of higher concepts, what's the point? Doug's response reframed the relationship entirely: "We are God's sense organs." He used the analogy of cutting a fingernail or accidentally pricking a finger while cross-stitching—if those cells were sentient, they might experience tremendous suffering. Yet from the perspective of the whole being, these small losses serve the larger movement of life. This is not to minimize our pain, but to situate it: our pain is God's pain; God's ecstasy is ours. We participate in "one divine sweep," a flow of purpose and meaning that gives our experience its ultimate dignity. Duncan noted that while Earth's intensity can produce incarnations where little is learned (due to overwhelming catalyst), it can also be "extremely profitable" for those able to process the experiences consciously. Doug went further, suggesting that the psychological and philosophical sophistication emerging on Earth—the capacity for deep self-reflection, contemplative practice, and nuanced understanding of self—may actually be "fourth-density and fifth-density stuff, right here." The presence of millions of wanderers—sixth-density souls incarnated under the veil—has created communities where conversations about karma, unconditional love, and the nature of consciousness occur as naturally as discussions of weather. This is not normal for third density. This is Earth's strange gift. The New Creation Afoot The session concluded with an affirmation: "Something magical is happening, something new. There's a new creation afoot—precisely at the place of the centermost stuckness of it all." Rather than viewing Earth's difficulties as evidence of failure, Doug invited the group to see them as the very conditions from which something unprecedented can emerge—just as the pre-veil logjam eventually birthed the veil itself. The cornerstone the builders rejected may yet become the foundation of what comes next. Doug referenced Michael's sharing from the previous week—his commitment to emit unconditional love wherever he goes, knowing from lived experience what conditional love feels like. This, Doug suggested, is God's own growth occurring through us. Barbara closed with the Prayer of St. Francis, a fitting summary of the night's theme: that where there is darkness, the call is to bring light; where there is despair, hope; where there is hatred, love—not through escape, but through engagement. "You can feel the groan like St. Paul says—that the very universe groans with this Eros, God's own divine Eros groaning and moving into completion. Like we are that groan... where God's lament and God's ecstasy exist at the same time." — Doug Scott

What if joy in marriage isn't about chasing happiness, but embracing courage? Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife's enlightening perspective reshapes our understanding of joy—not as mere happiness but as a deeper, more embodied openness to love and goodness, even amidst life's challenges. This kind of joy is interwoven with eros love—an expansive, soul-reaching connection that pushes us beyond our comfort zones and into a realm of growth and self-discovery. In my conversation with Dr. Finlayson-Fife, we explored how marriage becomes a fertile ground for joy—not by eliminating our differences but by choosing to love through them. By asking ourselves what we already know we need to do differently, we unlock the potential for profound personal growth and deeper marital intimacy, ultimately steering our relationships toward genuine joy.
