Stanton Studios, expanded from the well-known Stanton Glass Studio, was founded in 1979 by Bryant J. Stanton. Beginning with a workbench in a loft studio and a couple of crates of glass, the studio has grown into a nationally-recognized business with completed work in businesses and homes across Texas and the United States. In addition to Stanton, his four sons and their team of craftsmen operate Stanton Studios just north of Waco, Texas.  Stanton began his journey into the world of art as a young adult in high school. When he wrote a research paper on Gothic Cathedrals, he became fascinated with stained glass and window bays. Later, attending Texas Tech then transferring to Baylor, Stanton studied 3-Dimensional Studio Art and found that he incorporated glass wherever possible in all of his art projects. But the young artist didn't begin pursuing his passion until a fateful event occurred.  When Stanton took an off campus walk, he discovered an old stained glass shop and met a man who changed his life by teaching him the craft. After making his first butterfly sun-catcher, the young Stanton was “instantly hooked.” He accepted a full-time job at The Warehouse working for Homer Owen and made inspirational gifts – sun-catchers with bible verses on them.  In 1979, Stanton began his own business in a downtown Waco, Texas, shop and started calling churches and businesses, advertising his services. He received his first restoration job fixing up windows for Central Christian Church. His first two window commissions were created for Pelican's Warf and the Brazos Landing; ironically, both waterfront restaurants wanted Pelican-themed windows looking out onto the Brazos River.  Stanton taught his first child, Tiffany, the shop's ways and how to handle glass. Soon after, Nathan and Jordan, the eldest sons, began learning their father's trade. Jordan was “a little clone of his father” and quickly picked up the skills needed for creating glass. As assistant manager, he accompanied his father to meetings. Nathan, the eldest son, found that working with glass was not his passion and learned his own trade – woodworking. Tiffany eventually taught her younger sibling, Samuel, to work with glass, and he joined the shop as a grouter.  As time passed, Stanton hired an in-house glass painter, Joe Barbieri, his wife Suzanne eventually became the bookkeeper, and Jordan became the official manager. Samuel also moved up from being in “the mud room” to being a builder. Tim, the youngest son, joined the shop as a builder, and Nathan helped to expand Stanton Glass Studio into Stanton Studios as he brought his woodworking abilities to the shop. Since founding the business, Stanton has worked tirelessly designing and creating works in glass. The knowledge and experience gained have allowed him to complete iconic works that are not only breathtaking but magnificent feats to design and build. He and his family can tackle projects ranging from stained glass for churches, residences or businesses to huge sculptures for universities or giant glass domes for hotels. Stanton says he most enjoys projects that are big and challenging, such as the 3-story long DNA sculpture that hangs suspended in a stairwell in the McLennan Community College Sciences Building in Waco, the iconic dome of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, and the restoration of the priceless Louis Comfort Tiffany windows for a Galveston church. Stanton has come a long way from that first butterfly suncatcher. He and his family are always learning more and continuing to find new challenges in creating the most beautiful art glass. Due to their success, Stanton has served on several community boards, including the Waco Chamber of Commerce and the Waco Art Center. He is the current president of the Stained Glass Association of America (SGAA) and also served as the past Editorial Chair of Stained Glass Quarterly magazine. SGAA's 2023 conference will be held in Buffalo, New York, September 27 through October 1. As Stanton Studios continues to hire more builders and expand, its founder hopes that the business will live on through his sons, who are now in charge of teaching the new hires the skills involved with stained glass making – keeping the art and craft of stained glass alive.

Chartres Cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, and for good reason. Due to the collective efforts of over a thousand years of stewardship through wars, revolutions and plagues, Our Lady of Chartres is one of the best preserved Gothic Cathedrals in Europe. A sacred site since neolithic times, Chartres has always been associated with a dark goddess. This episode explores ancient influences and the numerous Black Madonnas that have inspired generations of the faithful. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stephanie-georgieff/support

The Knights Templar are a mysterious order of warrior monks born of the Crusades. Within a century, the Knights were the main organizing force in European Civilization, employing a majority of citizens through various endeavors such as farms, textiles, banking and their greatest achievement, the guilds of artisans who created the Gothic Cathedrals we still enjoy to this day. Their influence and patronage of the arts is legendary, but few know that Templars were responsible for bringing many of Europes most beloved Black Madonnas from the Holy Land and Northern Africa to the continent, placing them in cathedrals, shrines and churches along The Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Author and host Stephanie Georgieff presents a fascinating overview of the broader culture of Europe that created the Templars, along with their ideals and spiritual impulses which led them to bring Black Madonnas to the Camino. Georgieff covers material from her book The Black Madonna, Mysterious Soul Companion as well as some new research she has uncovered through her current speaking and writing schedule. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stephanie-georgieff/support

When I became a college professor in 2004, one of the courses I was assigned was Introduction to the Arts. It was a basic survey course covering visual art, architecture, music, theatre, and film from a Christian philosophical viewpoint. The area I knew the least about was architecture. I had always been fascinated by it, but never studied it in-depth. Over the years, as I have learned more about architecture, it has become one of my favorite subjects. On this episode, Kent shares insight from Gothic cathedrals and how these incredible pieces of architecture reveal lessons for how we ought to create. *** Check out my NEW book: 18 Words to Live By: A Father's Wisdom on What Matters Most.

What is the secret meaning of a Gothic Cathedral? Looking at this architectural style can be awe-inspiring and even psychedelic, but how do these buildings elicit such profound effects? The art of Gothic Cathedrals was largely developed by believers in Esoteric Christianity, Catholicism, Freemasonry, and Alchemy, and one can uncover their hidden messages using the principles of geometry, Theology, and Jungian Psychoanalysis.

We put the disastrous fire at Notre Dame de Paris into historical perspective -- by considering the history of Gothic cathedrals, their cosmic religious meanings, and their remarkably powerful and mysterious construction. How did medieval builders create these massive, complex structures without steel, steam power, electricity, or even written plans? We also follow the tumultuous experiences of Notre Dame itself, the social and symbolic center of Paris--from religious riots and Revolutionary iconoclasm to malign neglect and controversial restorations. Finally, we consider the resilience of Gothic buildings through fire, lightning, earthquake, war, and revolution, and ask what other important monuments or community buildings we should support in our own communities.

Is it possible that the Gothic Cathedrals were built to encode truths about where we exist? I say yes. Many old alchemical and natural science texts also have much to say about our sun. This episode was three years in the making, starting in March of 2016 when I filmed what I now suspect is the source of the reflection we call the Sun and Moon.

I've always been drawn to Gothic cathedrals. These medieval works of art represent one of the pinnacles of human ingenuity and creativity. The designers, laborers, and craftsmen worked to build something they knew would outlive them—not only by decades, but by centuries. That's a stark contrast to today's creative world, where we don't normally think in centuries or decades, or even years. We think in weeks and days, hours and moments. But is there a way to balance the need for relevance and timeliness with a more long-term perspective on our creative work? The real question is: Will your art outlive you? In this post, we'll ponder this question as we look at three imperatives that we must consider if we're going to create art that lasts.

(The Hypnothoughts Live conference is still open for tickets though…) Mike gives Hugh Comerford a plug for NLP Training, and talks about Robert Dilts, Nice Guy. Chris and Mike open a discussion on Dilts’ Logical Levels. Chris preframes that he learned Logical Levels by watching Mike teach it on video. This is awesome stuff that can change your life! The bottom level is Environment. People at this level are stuck at Effect. They feel like life is happening to them. Mike hilariously calls Chris’ daughters Hyperica and Gelsemium. The names are getting weirder, but the kids are learning these tools from Chris. One (Gelsemium) actually did the Jerry Intervention. These levels apply to organizations too; not just people. You have to be at Cause, not Effect! People who feel victimized are often stuck at the level of Environment. Mike points out that everything that’s happened is in the past. Mike says that all the time we have is coming to us from the future,  which is brilliant! You can effect the level where you are, or chunk up to a higher level. Next level up is Behaviour. What are you doing? Thinking? Saying? At Cause, means you’re the one in charge! Change Behaviour, and Environment also changes. A filthy house can be transformed! Chris begins discussing the concept of choosing a word for the year. Mike says he remembers that Chris’ word was vasectomy, leading to much hilarity, and Mike declaring himself to be a “comic genius”. They edit it out. Mike’s word was alacrity. (Chris’ actual word was balance) Mike talks about using the power of procrastination to procrastinate later. Mike does a “Jerry Kein cough” which is also edited out … except that it’s not really edited at all. Level 3 is Capabilities, which is really just abilities. New Capabilities will automatically add to possible behaviours. They discuss how the Architecture of Hypnosis came out of Mike’s study of Gothic Cathedrals. You sometimes have to practice in order to get new capabilities. Mike shameless drops a name by saying in an offhand manner that he “was having lunch with John Grinder”. Physicality plus saturation did the trick. Review is the key… Mike is flying to Quebec to discuss stress with financial planners and pension managers. The boyz discuss playing blues on a stratocaster to replicate Clapton. Beliefs are on top of Capabilities. Whether you believe something is possible, or not…you’re probably right. The Wizard of Oz as an example, and Mike sings Over the Rainbow in the background. Chris begins making a point from The Wizard of Oz and Mike doubts that Chris has even seen it. He says Chris might have been thinking of The Bag of Pykthos – The Movie. Or maybe Mike just imagines that would have been much funnier. Start to question beliefs that no longer serve you!!! Replace them with more useful beliefs. Use the Meta Model to attack and dismantle useless or limiting beliefs. Above Beliefs is Identity. This is the Ego, the “I” statements. Even depression can be at the level of Identity. Mike says ego eimi from koine Greek to be cultured and impressive. Mike reminisces about his early days as a “Stage Hypnotist” and how he reframed his career by changing his Identity to I am a Communicator! Get this fact: Recognize your Identity statements, and change them if you need to! Mike gives a fool-proof method to quit smoking. It works every time! I am overweight. I am a failure. I am a bad listener. These are all Identity statements. Chris and Mike have awesome lives! They actually apply this stuff. The final level is Spiritual/Mission. NLP cannot touch this one. Mike gives the example of Saul of Tarsus who was transformed to the Apostle Paul;  who went from being a persecutor of the early church, to the greatest apostle of all. Focus on Identity Statements. They’ll give you the most bang for your buck! The Gus Grissom Update: Virgil “Gus” Grissom was sighted in Wichita Kansas, by school bus driver, Honey Hallmark. Hallmark was surprised to see Grissom had apparently purchased Wu Tang Clan CDs. Make sure you email in any sightings togusgrissom@mailinator.com Mike is teaching the next Graphology Class in Toronto – Saturday September 17th and Sunday September 18th, 2016 – this event is coming up fast.

Randall Carlson of Sacred Geometry International is in Grimerica and will proceed to blow your mind wide open.  Randall is a master builder and architectural designer, teacher, geometrician, geomythologist, geological explorer and renegade scholar. He has 4 decades of study, research and exploration into the interface between ancient mysteries and modern science, has been an active Freemason for 30 years and is Past Master of one of the oldest and largest Masonic lodges in Georgia. Darren and Graham chat with Randall about the connection between platonic solids, time, our solar system and ancient megalithic structures.  They talk about the drastic changes this ball of mud rotating through space has gone through in just the last 12,000 years alone and they speculate on how old and modern our ancient man may have been. Randall has made a truly eye opening and fascinating 4 hour dvd illustrating the Cosmic Patterns and Cycles of Catastrophe. Randall hints at some of the revelations being revealed in his upcoming book and he gives the Grimerican’s a bit of homework to do. This episode even gets a little political and of course it shows how much the mainstream science community is stuck in their dogmatic paradigm.  http://sacredgeometryinternational.com/  http://sacredgeometryinternational.com/cosmic-patterns-and-cycles-of-catastrophe-dvd-preview  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvuraN2vNapqhIpDIgIRO7eIk6gPvweqw  The Making of a Catastrophist: http://web.stanford.edu/~meehan/donnelly/donbiog.html  Interesting related links etc....

This episode is the first of several I'm calling “The Long Road to Reform.” As I mentioned at the end of the last episode, we'll track the Church's long march to the Reformation, then pause before picking it up acwith THE Reformation by doing some episodes tracking Church History into the East.Until recently, most treatments of the History of Christianity have focused almost exclusively on the Church in Europe and what's often called “Western” Christianity. Mention is made of the Church's growth into other regions like North Africa, and the Middle and Far East. But it's barely a nod in that direction. For every 10,000 words devoted to the Church in Europe, 10 are given to the Church of the East. What's sad is that this Church has a rich history. We won't make up for the lack of reporting on the history of the church in these regions, but we will seek to fill in some of the gaps and give those interested resources for learning more.Okay, here we go. We embark now on The Long Road to Reform.At the dawn of the 13th C with Innocent III, the papacy reached the zenith. The Dominicans and Franciscans carried the Gospel far and wide, new universities were hotbeds of theological enterprise, and Gothic Cathedrals seemed to defeat the law of gravity.Europe was united under the pope and the emperor; in theory at least. Because the Crusaders had taken Constantinople, the breach between East and West looked to have been finally healed. Yeah – it looked like Christendom was about to enter a Golden Age.As is often the case, looks can be deceiving. These were.By 1261, the West's influence in Constantinople was over as well as the bogus union the 4th  Crusade claimed to have forged. Over the next 2 centuries, Europe saw several changes that set the scene for the modern world.One of the most important was in the realm of economics.When we think of the Middle Ages in Europe, we remember feudalism with its strict rules of class. There was the land-owning nobility and the commoners, serfs who worked the land for nobles in exchange for protection. We don't have time to go into it here, but feudalism was largely the result of developments in the technology of warfare. Armored warriors, called knights, were expensive. It took a vast economic base to field them. So serfs worked lands in exchange for protection by knights. These serfs gave loyalty, called fealty, to nobles in ever higher levels from counts and barons to dukes and earls, with the king at the top. A third class in this tiered structure of medieval society were the clergy. The Church also owned lands and had serfs who worked for them. This made priests and abbots responsible for the secular rule of church and monastery estates. But toward the end of the Middle Ages, the cities of Europe began to grow and a new class of commoner emerged – the merchant.There were several reasons for the proliferation of merchants and the growth of villages into town and towns into cities. One of the most important was the boom in trade. The Crusades stimulated Europe's taste for new things. Someone needed to buy up what Europe produced, which was a lot of wool, and take it to the East were all the goodies were. Increased trade meant increased wealth for merchants, who weren't land-owners but who did buy themselves nice homes in the growing cities. Those houses needed furniture and art and all the other luxuries that mark a successful merchant so industries popped up to supply those wants – bringing even MORE to the cities. New credit systems were developed as extra money meant people looking to invest for a profit. And slowly but surely, a NEW social class developed – the middle-class who didn't fit the strict class structure that had dominated Europe for several hundred years. When nobles began taxing the trade crossing their land, the merchants protested and called for a stronger central government that would reign in the nobles. A king could protect trade, quash the bandits that harassed caravans, establish a common currency, and put an end to silly conflicts that disrupted trade.Kings saw the merchants and emerging middle-class that supported them as a way to do an end run around the nobles who so often gave them grief. The king didn't have to depend now on those nobles to supply knights and men at arms. From the taxes raised from the middle-class, they could field their own army.The growth of strong kings during the late Middle Ages in Europe goes hand in hand with the rising middle-class. And it's out of this process the modern nations of Europe emerged. Regions that shared a common language and culture coalesced around strong central governments. So, nationalism became one of the factors that will lead to problems for the Church. Until the 13th Century, Europeans identified themselves by their town, city or county. By the 15th Century they identified themselves as English, French, Swedish …Where this emerging nationalism effected the Church was when a pope leaned in his policies toward this nation or that. When he did, that nation or this ignored his rule. And this led to the overall denigration of the pope's office and authority. That in turn led to not a few looking to someone other than the Pope to lead in reform of the Church.What's often neglected in a discussion of the roots of the Reformation is the impact of the Hundred Years' War on Church History. Lasting almost 140 yrs, from 1337 to 1475, the war dragged in almost all of Europe at one point or another. Basically a conflict between France and England, it lasted so long and was filled with such intrigue, everyone seemed to want to weigh in at some point and take a few swings at the other guy.It was during the Hundred Years' War that a French teenager named Joan had visions that stirred her countrymen to rally behind the French prince and give the British a good run for their money. Actually, money was the perennial British problem in this War. They'd win amazing victories on the battlefield at places like Crecy and Agincourt, then have to withdraw for lack of funds.This long conflict with all its many chapters had enormous consequences for the Church. It was during this time the so-called “Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy” took place, with the popes relocating from Rome to the French city of Avignon. Popes became virtual puppets of the French throne. So the English disregarded the papacy. Then, during the Great Papal Schism, when two rival popes vied for control of the Church, Europeans aligned under whichever pope supported their cause in the War. That made putting the Schism to an end, even MORE difficult. All of this of course, weakened the claims of the Pope to universal authority.And what are to say of the Plague that devastated whole regions of the continent? The Little Ice Age of the 14th C set crop yields back and led to virtual famine in some places. This in turn shattered the fragile economy and set those already living hand to mouth into a physically vulnerable position. Their immune systems were degraded so when the Plague arrived, hundreds of thousands were susceptible to its ravages. Between 1348 and 50, the Black Death swept Europe. While numbers vary, with a general account of a third of Europeans dying, there were some regains were as much as HALF the population succumbed. Just imagine what that did to the social fabric of these places! Well, imagine what it would be like living where you do with only half the people. For those in urban centers, that may sound like a dream come true – at first. But realize half those who die are the only ones with the know-how or skill to do a good part of the work that keeps your system running. Half the houses are now empty. Half the stores, closed. You get the idea.The Plague sent a shockwave through the collective conscious of Europe. How could a society so dominated by Christianity have suffered such a devastation? Maybe the Church had gone astray so badly God's wrath was in evidence. Could the Black Death be His way of cleaning house? While life had always been precarious, death now hovered over all, so life became little more than preparation for life after death. Pilgrimages to Rome and Jerusalem were sought. The poor who couldn't make such a journey went on local pilgrimages to local holy spots. Trade in relics boomed, even though the Fourth Lateran Council tried to put a kibosh on it.In the mid-15th Century, when it was clear the Turks were determined to take Constantinople, the Byzantine emperors appealed to the West for help, even though the 4th Crusade had been a colossal failure. In trade for assistance, the popes required the East affirm their loyalty to Rome. Under threat of imminent demise, the East agreed to terms at the Council of Ferrara in 1439. But the Pope wasn't able to persuade the Knights and armies of Europe to go to the aid of Constantinople. In the East, many of the Christians there saw the emperor's bowing to Rome as a capitulation to heresy. They refused to fight for him or his cause. In 1443, the patriarchs of, Alexandria, Antioch, and  Jerusalem rejected the Council's decisions and broke communion with Constantinople. In 1452, after more than 400 yrs of animosity, a Roman mass was celebrated in Hagia Sophia. But Constantinople's days were numbered. A year later, Muhammad II laid siege to the City. His new guns punched holes in those once impregnable walls. Emperor Constantine XI died defending the City. The great Hagia Sophia became a mosque and the city was renamed Istanbul.It was King Philip IV of France who managed to wrap the papacy tightly around his finger. His long contest with Pope Boniface VIII is what helped lead to the Avignon Papacy and Great Schism.The next Pope was Benedict XI. A Dominican of genuine piety who sought to undo the acrimony Boniface had managed to stir up across Italy and France. Despite Benedict's attempts at harmony, King Philip insisted on calling a council to condemn the acts of Boniface. Benedict refused as it would be yet another denigration of papal authority at the hands of the French monarch. But this wasn't enough for the conservatives regarded Benedict's reconciliatory acts as giving away of too much papal mojo. He died after only a year as Pope.A rumor spread he'd been poisoned; both sides claiming the other had done the deed. And by both sides, I mean those French cardinals who backed Philip and the Italian, German and English cardinals who backed Rome. Except for those who didn't. Yeah, I know it gets confusing. è Welcome to church history.Through a clever bit of subterfuge, the French cardinals wrangled an agreement to elect Clement V. Clement seemed to be a neutral candidate, when he'd in fact been scheming with the French all along. During his term as Pope, from 1305-14, he never visited Rome even once.He appointed 24 cardinals; all but 1 of them, French; ensuring the next several Popes would also be a pro-French interest. Several of these cardinals were his relatives. While Clement V's papacy was abysmal, probably the most shameful moment was his consent to the destruction of the Templars.The Templars were one of the military orders founded during the Crusades. Since the Crusades were over, the Templars were really obsolete. But they were incredibly wealthy and powerful. This was at a time when King Philip was on a campaign to assert his absolute dominance over all French nobility. The Templars were an obstacle to overcome as they provided both funds and arms to the very nobles Philip wanted to subjugate. He also owed them a considerable sum in the loans he'd taken from them. So in a fascinating tale of intrigue, Philip persuaded others to do his dirty work for him. He had the Templars accused of disgusting crimes, besides the more pedantic evil of heresy. Under torture, some Templar leaders confessed, including their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay. De Molay later recanted his confession, but it was too late. He and a companion were executed. The Templars were disbanded, their wealth confiscated by the French Crown.We'll pick it up at this point next time.
