Podcasts about fringe dwellers

Filmmaker, critic, video essayist and author Scout Tafoya joins the show to discuss the work of undersung journeyman Bruce Beresford and his brilliant 1991 film 'Black Robe', a story of faith, the frontier, and the church as a pernicious vestige of the European colonial project. Set amidst the 17th Century French conquests of North America in modern-day Quebec, the film follows the titular Black Robe, Father Laforgue, a Jesuit Missionary tasked with bringing Christianity to the indigenous populations of the region. As he ventures deep into Huron territory with his company of Algonquin guides, the limits of his faith and reason are tested, as it becomes clear that his beliefs and the promises they supposedly carry can find no purchase with a people who have no need for them. Greenlit in the wake of the success of 'Dances With Wolves' and cashing in on an exceptional amount of goodwill Beresford had accrued after directing the Academy Award-winning 'Driving Miss Daisy', the film is a brilliant study of self-deception, and the profoundly human impulses of one's perceptions of the divine. We discuss Beresford as filmmaker, his history as a contemporary of Australian greats Peter Weir and George Miller, and why his work deserves an immediate and vast reappraisal. Then, we discuss 'Black Robe', its exacting observations of faith and imperialism, and its unusually sensitive and well-researched portrayals of indigenous American tribes. Finally, we talk about other films in the canon of great portrayals of faith and the frontier, including Michael Mann's gorgeous 'The Last of the Mohicans' and Martin Scorsese's late-period masterpiece 'Silence'.

At ANTIDOTE 2018, American writer David Niewart, Australian journalist Jeff Sparrow and British writer Ed Husain came together for an event called Fringe Dwellers and Fanatics. They had a robust discussion about the ways that extremist ideologies are influencing western governments, including Australia. They're joined by the Saturday Paper editor Maddison Connaughton to consider where this might be dragging the centre of global political debate.

 "Dehumanisation is the essential program of the radical right." David Neiwert believes that the so-called “alt-right” of right-wing populists in America has been born of a toxic mix of factors: mainstream conservatives unifying with the racist far-right; a young, media-savvy generation of online white supremacists, and forces in the right-wing media feeding hostility. Throw in the historical strains of xenophobia, racism, misogyny and resentment, and you've got yourself a cultural phenomenon. David Neiwert, author of Alt-America: the Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, examines the growth of extremist groups, their influence on Trump politics, and how we can work for positive change in a world that trades on sensationalism. He was with The New York Times Australian bureau chief, Damian Cave at ANTIDOTE 2018. Watch David in Fringe-Dwellers and Fanatics.

He's produced and written six music albums, and an operetta called Heartland (Tim Wheater, Almo Records). He's written two films, one of which, Snowball, was sold to Konstantine Films (Germany), Europe's largest film company, whose most famous film was Da Boat and The Damned. Stuart has roughly sixty audio recordings, published by hay house, Nightingale and Quiet Earth, Australia. Stuart Wilde has done 500 radio shows and a number of TV shows including the Michael Parkinson Show, BBC London. He's appeared on the Channel 10 Good Morning Australia show with Kerri-Anne Kennerly several times, as well as a number of affiliated TV stations in the United States. For a full list of Stuart Wilde's published works, you can search Wikipedia. =============== More About Stuart Wilde (from wikipedia) Career He studied alternative religions and Taoist philosophy for five years from the age of twenty-eight, and when he was thirty-three, he emigrated to the United States of America where he lived in Laguna Beach, California with his first wife Cynthia. He wrote his first book, Miracles, in 1983.[3] Shortly thereafter he began a career as a lecturer appearing mainly in New Thought Churches and at New Age conferences. In the 1990s he toured regularly with Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay,[7] appearing at venues such as the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Wilde's London street slang and comedic way[8] of presenting self-empowerment and spiritual ideas continue to attract a wide and diverse audience.[2][8] He's been called ahead of his time," 'the teacher's teacher' because of the influence he has had on other writers and lecturers in the field", provocative, poignant, controversial, funny, and his writing "timeless".[2][9] He remains a recognized figure for progressive thought in metaphysics and the field of human potential, and is often quoted with references to his work appearing across a wide swath of international cultural, business, and educational forums from the Kennedy Center for the Arts',[10] interviews with American hip-hop artists and slam poets,[11] international investment conferences,[12] and the pages of international media such as CNET's "Top 10 List: Human Development Gurus"[13] and The Times of India's "Sunday Life" section.[14] Principal Philosophy & Early Work Wilde's principal philosophy states that, while many citizens may seem to be normal, acquiescing to the status quo, there exists, in fact, a vast population of what he calls Fringe Dwellers whose mind and soul do not align to the constraints of life in regular society that Wilde called Tick-Tock.[2][16] Wilde believed through use of the theta state of meditation (4–7 cycles per second), humans can better control their emotional life and their bio-rhythms, and begin to see visions, and that those visions and extrasensory feeling will lead to a greater balance and more freedom.[2][17][18] To that end, he emphasized the importance of going beyond the habit of struggling, and advocated the need for financial freedom,[2] themes stated in his books Life was Never Meant to be a Struggle (1987), The Trick to Money is Having Some (1989),[19] and The Little Money Bible (1998). In Affirmations (1986), Wilde laid out systems of self-talk that empower an individual to change their core beliefs.[20] His book Sixth Sense (2000) discusses practical techniques for developing extrasensory perception. Later Work He earned both praise and criticism for his later works which advance controversial concepts such as other dimensions, dematerialization, and Morph worlds.[9] His most avant garde philosophy is based on the idea that Paul Dirac's hypothesis of parallel antiparticle worlds is, in fact, correct, and that humans adept at trance meditation can become aware of spiritual dimensions placed at 90° from them left and right—dimensions, Wilde said, that follow Hawking's theory of transverse waves of light. Wilde acknowledged there was no empirical data to support his claim, but anecdotal evidence, gathered from more than two-thousand people whom he taught, stated they had experienced such transcendental 90° perception which led him to conclude these worlds exist.[21] Grace, Gaia, and the End of Days (2009) maps out coordinates for these spiritual dimensions and offers "a twenty-first century understanding of grace and spiritual evolution"—and tools to activate it in one's life. In a 2009 interview Wilde said, "Grace is a golden light, pure love, a divine energy, seen coming from these inner spiritual worlds. It is data-driven and laced with trillions of bits of fractal information that will guide you and help you evolve. The human system is configured to read this fractal data through visions and extra sensory intuitive feelings."[21] Serenity and balance developed through regular trance meditation enable access this 'pure information', which he called stream of consciousness from a 'Higher Knowing', 'The Source', 'God'.[21] While Wilde believed humans are multi-dimensional beings who possess both the celestial light and the dark, he posited they gravitate to one or the other based on inner feelings, thoughts, and actions. The quality of these feelings, moreover, determine the spiritual dimension an aspect of oneself will reside in any moment.[21][22] Redemption (and a life of love and serenity) is possible for all by choosing the ways of the celestial. On the larger plane, he believed the light will eventually overcome the dark and advised aligning with the forces of light, the forces of God. He laid out techniques for doing so through cultivation of tenderness, generosity, respect, "the soft eye", mindfulness, meditation, time in nature and with animals,[23] and avoidance of dark places, people, and media that sell specialness, fear, degradation, and greed. Move from the cold cerebral mind into the warmth of heart and feeling. "There is strength in softness. Remember, It's all backwards," he was oft quoted.[21] Additional Themes Wilde was a staunch supporter of peace in the world, the philosophy of live and let live,[9] animal rights and vegetarianism. Tom Lishman eulogised him this way— We must remember that just because he has gone back to the non-physical realm he is still very much with us, we should not forget that his time here was set and agreed upon and he has completed his mission, that being said all fringe dwellers must now rise above the despair and confusion they feel and turn it into positive energy and by doing this they will honour his work in the best possible way. Stuart will be remembered for making a huge contribution towards the new golden age of peace and love that is fast approaching, his followers will indeed take up his torch and light up planet earth like never before. We must ponder this question...What if by him leaving his body at this time he can contribute even more to world peace ?, anyone that knows him will know that he will be doing just that."[24]

This week is Part 2 of a two-part series live from Las Vegas in memory of Stuart Wilde who passed away on May 1st 2013. A great friend of Alchemy Radio, Stuart had been due to speak with John again on the show around this time. Stuart was considered by many the greatest living metaphysician in the world today. In the last twelve years he had over 100,000 visions, which taught him a vast body of information not available elsewhere. Many of the most famous New Age, New Thought writers and teachers have privately studied with him, or they have been greatly influenced by his work. In 2001, Wilde discovered the Morph phenomenon, a process by which physical reality goes transparent and soapy-looking and humans dematerialize. Watching the transcendental nature of Morph for eight years, he gradually wrote out in details the topography and exact nature of what is now known as the Aluna, Mirror-Worlds, sometimes referred to as the Spirit Worlds; much of that information has since been verified by many others, who have greatly added to his initial work. In the 1980s, Wilde correctly described the etheric life-field around humans in precise detail. Previously, it was known only in vague terms in discussions about the human aura. Wilde wrote out the first of many precise and verifiable etheric exercises and sensations in his book The Quickening (Hay House 1995). Over the last ten years, he published hundreds of his visions, many of which have now come to pass. He wrote written twenty books, which have sold in the millions, and they have been translated into fifteen languages.   For more info: www.stuartwilde.com Host: John Gibbons (www.djjohngibbons.com) Music: Brannock - Zygomatic (John Gibbons Remix) Contact: alchemy@clubeducate.net Website: www.alchemyradio.net Twitter: www.twitter.com/alchemyradio Facebook: www.facebook.com/alchemyradio.net
