In Part 2 of our exploration of The Ages, we move from cosmic timescales to the deeply personal experience of transformation. Opening with a powerful quote from Lao Tzu that could have been written yesterday, we examine how ancient wisdom speaks directly to our current "hysterical, impulsive" cultural moment and what it means to find patterns beneath the chaos. The conversation explores the difference between cosmetic change and genuine transformation - whether in organizations, relationships, or personal growth. We discuss why so many attempts at change fail when they only address surface issues while leaving the underlying "note" or frequency unchanged. Real transformation requires going through what's called "crossing the burning ground" - a process that demands both courage and patience. We examine the transition from masculine-dominated leadership to a more balanced integration of both masculine and feminine principles within individuals and organizations. This isn't about replacing one gender with another, but about learning to embody both the capacity to plant seeds (masculine) and create fertile space for growth (feminine). The episode explores what this integration looks like practically in leadership, relationships, and personal development. The discussion culminates with the powerful metaphor of humanity as caterpillars facing the choice between "gluing wings on our backs" or having the courage to enter the chrysalis stage of genuine transformation. For anyone navigating major life changes or feeling called to deeper authenticity, this episode offers both wisdom and encouragement for the journey through uncertainty to emergence. Meditation Mount and HeartLight Productions are pleased to present Musings from the Mount – a weekly podcast with host Joseph Carenza and guests in conversation exploring a range of topics drawn from the Ageless Wisdom teachings.

   Fewer than 200 people gathered in KC to protest ICE and it was a comical group.  A whole bunch of white people with wrinkled clothes, ratty hair and bad signs complaining about the laws of our land is less than inspirational.  And they went home way before dark.  These are not ICE rallies, these are just the same people that don't like America or Donald Trump.    LA mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew last night and it was ignored.  Political rioters and looters took to the streets and LAPD says 197 people were arrested.  And those who broke in to the Apple store had a rude awakening.  Apple tracked those who stole products, turned the info over to authorities and disabled the devices. Hysterical.  Steal shoes next time!    GM is spending $4 billion to move production from Mexico to the US and KC is getting a great boost at the Fairfax plant.   The Yanks blast the Royals and Manager Q pulls another head scratcher.  Aaron Rodgers reports to Steelers camp with a wedding ring and starts a bromance with former KSU quarterback Will Howard.  Bryson DeChambeau and the heavy rough are the big stories at the US Open and Simone Biles has apologized to Riley Gaines.

In this episode I'm reading from a piece I wrote in 2019. It's about shattering some of the myths and misconceptions about intuition so it can become as normal to you and breathing in and out. If you've been listening to this podcast, you're probably starting to get it by now that I really, really, really want you to have a strong connection to your intuition. Basically, that means I will do anything legal to help make that possible. So let's shine some daylight on one of the biggest myths and misconceptions about intuition: that it is rare.And of the things that you are going to have to accept if you want to have a great relationship with your intuition is that you are a product of the culture which seeks to marginalize it. This means if we're lucky enough to experience our intuition at all, by the time we realize what's happening our intuition has had to wade through layers and layers of muck just to get our attention.Join us as we go deep into how to do that dive!Thank you as always to Coby the wizardess cobygray@gmail.com my socials: IGFBtranscript of this piece on my websiteThanks for listening!

Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the need for better training for law enforcement regarding gun laws and the absurdity of certain regulations.

The Shields case raises questions about liability in tragic incidents. Walmart's fine for selling toy guns highlights the absurdity of regulations. The fight for gun rights is ongoing and requires constant vigilance.

You're not losing it — you're remembering who you were before life asked you to perform, perfect, and over-function. In this powerful episode, Karen peels back the emotional layers of midlife identity shifts and teaches us how to recognize the real reason we feel so emotionally raw: unprocessed patterns, unhealed stories, and soul-level truths that finally refuse to be ignored. With honesty, humor, and a deep dose of wisdom, she unpacks how generational dynamics, childhood coping strategies, Human Design, and even astrology reveal the blueprint behind our adult emotional patterns. And most importantly — how to finally rewrite them.

Former FBI Director James Comey posted a picture on Instagram of seashells on a beach arranged into the numbers "8647."Several Trump officials broke into hysterics, claiming that Comey intended the post as a threat. Showing her disregard for the rule of law, the rules of criminal procedure law and the Constitution - one prominent official announced that Comey should be put "behind bars" - apparently without an investigation, indictment, jury trial or verdict.And Trump expressed his outrage, saying that "a child" would know that Comey's post was a threat.The problem is, the dictionary definition of "86" does not support Trump and company's claims.

The film follows fading action star Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller, Meet the Parents, Zoolander) as he joins method actor Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man, Chaplin), drug-addled Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black, School of Rock, King Kong), rap-star turned actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T.

Discover the magic of community-driven cat rescue in our latest Friends Like Us episode. Join host Marina Franklin, Becky Wisdom from Green Point Cats, and comedian Subhah Agarwal as they chat about cat colonies, TNR, and the urgency to help communities in the over populations of cats.  Becky Wisdom is the founder of Greenpoint Cats, a leading Brooklyn-based animal rescue organization focused on TNR (trap, neuter, return). Her journey into rescue began in 2018 when she moved to Greenpoint and found herself living on a block with a crew of unforgettable feline neighbors—an encounter that inspired her to take action. What started as an effort to help a few street cats quickly became a full-time calling. By 2020, Becky had left her career in marketing to devote herself entirely to rescue work. Her grassroots efforts sparked a growing community of animal advocates in Greenpoint and beyond, building a network of support and care for some of the city's most vulnerable animals. Her passion for rescue is deeply rooted in her upbringing, which included daily chores like caring for opossums and rehabilitating birds. With media coverage from New York Magazine, the Hallmark Channel, and several local TV news outlets, Becky continues to save lives—and inspire others to do the same. Subhah Agarwal has brought an honesty to her comedy that will leave you saying "I didn't need to know that." Subhah has written for Netflix's “Arsenio Hall” limited series, the "Plan B" movie on Hulu," and The Jim Jefferies Show"on Comedy Central, amongst others.

Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they're far more connected than we realize.From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.Binge all episodes of Hysterical exclusively and ad-free, right now on Wondery+ Start your free trial by visiting Wondery.fm/Hysterical_DFS now.

There's only so much logic you can apply to your problems, at some point you need to work with your biology. The nervous system it an incredible organ built to help you survive and it can over-ride your conscious processing at will. To stop tripping over our barriers and build true resilience, reduce stress & feel more alive we need there is a way. Working with your nervous system instead of against it. On the show we invite Esin Pinarli a licensed therapist and expert in working with our nervous system to give us a masterclass on turning discomfort into growth. Three Takeaways: Your nervous system doesn't want you to succeed—it wants you to survive. Discomfort is a signal, not a stop sign. You grow by expanding your window of tolerance, not by breaking through it. Real personal growth doesn't come from reading another book or “thinking positive.” It comes from your body. From doing the hard thing, just a little bit at a time. We talk about titration (small steps), edge surfing (riding discomfort), and how your brain actually rewires itself when you face fear—gracefully. Turns out, the part of your brain responsible for willpower literally grows when you push yourself. This is about learning to stretch without snapping. To build a stronger relationship with yourself—one uncomfortable moment at a time.

   Whew, I sure feel better about the Royals after they just destroy the Milwaukee Brewers on that team's opening day.  Everyone hit, Kris Bubic really pitched and this game was exactly what the Royals think they can replicate many times this year.    Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and President Mark Donovan gave new information about plans for new stadium while speaking with media at the NFL Meetings in Florida.  We have the finances and the timeline for you on two distinct options.    Legendary announcer Jim Nantz is an alum and huge fan of the Houston Cougars basketball team.  He tells us why he thinks they can win it all.    Trump's third term troll of the media takes a new turn as he talks about letting Obama run against him.  Hysterical.  Elon Musk is investigating how so many members of Congress became so wealthy.  And a new book reveals Dems were preparing for Joe Biden to die as early as 2023.

Group Therapy dealt with co-parenting with your ex when they are dating someone else, and bringing them around your son.

Hysterical and dumb...that's what!

On a recent episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart advised Democrats that if they want to regain office, they need to chill a little on the fascist talk and actually offer an alternative. The late-night host showed clips of news anchors and Democratic voices talking about the “late Friday night purge,” where President Donald Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. Reacting to the news, Stewart pulled out a prop axe and screamed, “Trump has ushered in the purge!” “I, for one, will take full advantage by doing some unpermitted lawn work,” he joked. “Although, just in case I'm misinterpreting, what is this purge about, exactly?” When realizing what Trump's “purge” was really about, Stewart reacted in mock horror, yelling, “No! He got rid of 17 inspectors general? That only leaves—no one knows how many left. I have no idea.” Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even liberal icon Jon Stewart sees the level of Trump Derangement Syndrome flowing through the Democratic Party. Plus segments on a recent NY Times hit piece against Elon Musk and DOGE, the Super Bowl halftime show performer who revealed and paraded around with a Palestinian flag and the millions of dollars in questionable spending being uncovered by Musk and his DOGE acolytes. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
