In unserer aktuellen Filmmagazin-Folge besprechen wir Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017), das Justizdrama von Dan Gilroy mit Denzel Washington in der Hauptrolle. Der Film stellt die Frage: Kann ein Idealist im kaputten US-Justizsystem bestehen? Washington spielt einen brillanten, aber sozial unbeholfenen Anwalt, dessen Welt ins Wanken gerät, als sein Partner und Mentor ins Koma fällt. Wir diskutieren, warum die Geschichte trotz starker Ansätze letztlich unbefriedigend bleibt.

Van ideeën geld maken. Doe jij dat wel eens? Of heb je vooral heel veel ideeën, waar je vervolgens niets mee doet? In beide gevallen moet je echt even deze podcastaflevering luisteren. Ik werd hiervoor geïnspireerd die een kaart die ik zelf trok in het kader van mijn Money Boss May-maand: de kaart van de Idealist, met daarop: "Ik zet ideeën om in financieel succes". Nou, daar heb ik iets over te delen ;-) Ik ben Adine en ik help rebelse Visionairs met het creëren van vrijheid in hun leven. In tijd, energie, maar zeker ook in geld. Niet met allerlei ingewikkelde strategieën en funnels, maar door je te helpen jezelf weer te ontdekken. Die AWESOME versie van jou die je veel te lang in een veel te klein jasje hebt geprobeerd te stoppen.  Ik geloof namelijk niet in one-size-fits all, maar in de kracht van jou als persoon. Jij bent hier met een reden en ik help je om die reden te vinden, om impact te maken vanuit jouw kern én om daar goed geld mee te verdienen.  Is mijn podcast waardevol voor je? Dan zou ik het enorm fijn vinden als je deze met 5 sterren waardeert op iTunes of Spotify, hem in je netwerk deelt en/of je abonneert, zodat je een melding krijgt bij elke nieuwe aflevering. Dankjewel alvast! En… wat gaat jouw volgende stap zijn?

"Ich möchte hier keine Karriere machen, ich mach das aus Überzeugung!" Rebeccas Ansage, bevor sie den Job als Stationsleitung übernahm, war klar. Und auch Sven, ihr Stellvertreter ist Idealist - dabei hatte er eigentlich nie Lust auf eine Führungsrolle, "tu' ich mir nicht an." Erst, als er merkte, dass er damit aber was verändern kann, entschied er sich um. Beide wurden von ihrem eigenen Team ins Rennen geschickt, zu einer Zeit, als die Führung in der Station komplett brach lag. Diese Woche sprechen Litti und Ollschgich mit Rebecca und Sven über ihren ziemlich ungewöhnlichen Ansatz, eine Station zu leiten. Wie habt ihr der Teppichetage klar gemacht, was eure Bedingungen sind? Und wird das eingehalten? Wie habt ihr den Spirit im Team wieder aufgebaut? Wie geht ihr mit direkter Kritik von den Mitarbeitenden um? Und, mal ehrlich: Habt ihr wirklich Bock auf die 12 Stunden-Tage? Ein faszinierend ehrliches Gespräch mit einem krassen Blick hinter die Kulissen und zwei unkonventionellen Leitungen, die wohl doch für den Job gemacht sind. Reinhören, durchhören

As we continue our Hard Conversations series, Kelly talks with Ami Dar, the founder of Idealist.org, about finding hope in a deeply divided world. From his days as a teenage soldier in Israel to creating a global platform for good, Ami shares the moment that changed his perspective forever. With genuine optimism, he makes the case that small actions ripple outward, the world is often kinder than we think, and we're all just looking for ways to connect. Their talk offers both comfort and a nudge toward action - finding common ground with others by starting with what we share before tackling the hard stuff.

What happens when two mission-aligned nonprofits decide to merge? Farra Trompeter, co-director, chats with Idealist's founder and executive director, Ami Dar, about their recent merger with VolunteerMatch—and what other orgs can learn from it.

Da ist der Roman endlich: The Mask of Fear von Alexander Freed hat alles, was wir uns von einem politischen Roman wünschen und ist trotzdem oder gerade deshalb so schwer zu greifen. Eine Politikerin, die Idealismus mit Pragmatismus tarnt, ein Politiker, der Idealist ist und dazu steht, und ein verlorener Separatist, der nach dem Sinn in all dem Dasein sucht. Allein dieser Satz sorgt schon für unzählige, mögliche Interpretationen und das ist gerade mal der Anfang. Grund für Ines, Theo und Tobias ausgiebig über ein weiteres Meisterwerk von Alexander Freed zu reden. Denn obwohl wir alle hier und da Kritik üben können und auch müssen, ist es der Roman, der so nah an der Realität ist, dass die Suche nach Eskapismus nach dem Lesen gerechtfertigt ist. Wie schafft Freed es, grundlegende Mechanismen menschlichen Lebens perfekt zu spiegeln, sodass sich alles so vertraut anfühlt und doch in Star Wars spielt? Welche Maske der Angst tragen all die Figuren, die sie von PTSD zum Vergessen und zur Sinnlosigkeit des Daseins führt? Warum sitzen wir nach dem Lesen da und sind beeindruckt, obwohl wir nur die Hälfte des Romans noch vor Augen haben? All diese und viele Fragen mehr werden in dieser Ausgabe besprochen. Ein für mich besonderer JediCast, der dem Werk hoffentlich gerecht wird!

November 2025 bei Blanvalet Die Rezension Matthias hat das Werk zu Release für euch rezensiert. Er war auch sehr begeistert von dem Werk, sah jedoch einige willkürliche Sprünge in der Handlung, die er wenig nachvollziehbar fand. So findet er: "für einen Roman, der sich ansonst so gut und planvoll durch die politische und geheimdienstliche Welt schlängelt, sind solch einfachen und wackeligen Abkürzungen doch schon ein Bruch, über den man sich erstmal ein paar Seiten hinweg erholen muss". Am Ende vergibt er vier von fünf Holocrons. Den JediCast abonnieren Wir sind auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen vertreten!

Ami Dar, founder of Idealist.org, joins George for an insightful conversation on the groundbreaking merger between Idealist and VolunteerMatch.org—a rare consolidation poised to reshape nonprofit and volunteer engagement globally. Ami shares candid insights into why nonprofit mergers rarely happen, systemic challenges in nonprofit funding, and how this merger creates a single hub for millions seeking jobs, volunteer opportunities, and meaningful community involvement. He also discusses underutilized tech opportunities, Idealist's exciting new "Idealist Days" initiative, and why he's optimistic about nonprofits providing purpose in an AI-driven future. Big questions covered in this conversation: Why did Idealist.org and VolunteerMatch.org decide to merge, and what unique value does this merger bring to nonprofits and volunteers? Why are mergers so rare in the nonprofit sector, and what factors (like ego and financial security) prevent more organizations from consolidating? How are systemic funding issues impacting nonprofit efficiency and accountability, and what changes are needed to improve nonprofit outcomes? What trends are shaping volunteerism today, and how can nonprofits better harness the desire for community engagement and purpose-driven work? How can nonprofits leverage emerging technology and AI, and what role can the nonprofit sector play in providing meaningful human purpose in an increasingly automated world?

"Kunstneren som samfundets vagthund - det er idealet for en moderne kunstner". Sådan udtalte kunstneren Firoozeh Bazrafkan i forbindelse med en høring fra i fjor om den omstridte 'Koranlov'. Mange kunstnere mener, at lovgiverne har genindført censuren og drejet historiens urskive tilbage til en mørk fortid. Men hvordan har kunstneren historisk set på rollen som vagthund? I dagens udsendelse kigger vi nærmere på Danmarkshistoriens måske største kunstner, billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen, der blev berømt i en tid, hvor kunstneren skulle ære enevældens magt og pragt. Men hvordan kom Thorvaldsens politiske tanker til udtryk i marmoren? Var han monarkens skødehund eller kunne han ind i mellem snerre og bide? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i dagens udgave af Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Hans Erik Havsteen, historiker samt podcastvært på 'Kongerækken'. Redaktør: Silke Fensman.

Hvem forlader sin højgravide kone for at drage frivilligt i krig? Det gjorde digteren, Gustaf Munch-Petersen (1912-1938)! Desværre blev han dræbt få måneder senere på slagmarken i Spanien. I ugens udsendelse ser vi nærmere på et menneske, der levede kompromisløst og idealistisk - men også uden hensyn til sine nærmeste. Dr. Phil i litteratur, Henrik Wivel fortæller om Gustaf Munch-Petersen, og sammen læser vi hans næstsidste digtsamling, 'Solen findes', der lige er kommet på dansk. Vært: Nanna Mogensen.

Námluvy levicových lídryň, šéfky komunistů Kateřiny Konečné a předsedkyně SOCDEM Jany Maláčové, zkrachovaly. Sen o vytvoření široké levicové koalice Stačilo! nevyšel, bude v ní chybět právě sociální demokracie.Kateřina Konečná ve středu oznámila, v jaké sestavě půjde koalice Stačilo! do zářijových sněmovních voleb: její KSČM plus dvě menší, národně konzervativní strany. Tedy bez Jany Maláčové - ačkoliv se obě veřejně měsíce vyjadřovaly, jak moc se chtějí domluvit.Překotné dění na levicové frontě podrobně probírají političtí reportéři Václav Dolejší a Lucie Stuchlíková v aktuální epizodě svého podcastu Vlevo dole.„Mám dojem, že Konečná si s Maláčovou od začátku jen hrála, lákala ji do pasti. Budila v ní falešný dojem, jaký o ni má zájem, ale ve skutečnosti o sociální demokraty nestála,“ myslí si Dolejší. „Šéfka komunistů tím jen vzala SOCDEM čas na restart před volbami. A ještě ji ušpinila koketováním s proruskými komunisty.“Kateřině Konečné se nelze divit, protože po loňských úspěších v evropských a krajských volbách si vyzkoušela, že sociální demokraty vlastně vůbec nepotřebuje. Osiřelá SOCDEM teď stojí před rozhodnutím, jakou strategii zvolit do voleb.„Nevidím už moc dobrých variant a času je málo, vždyť volby jsou za osm měsíců. Sociální demokraté do nich mohou jít sami, ale tak nemají šanci. Nebo se třeba mohou spojit s liberálními levicovými hnutími, jako jsou Budoucnost nebo Idealisté. Jenže po námluvách s komunisty by takový obrat nebyl moc věrohodný,“ říká Lucie Stuchlíková.Co má Kateřina Končená společného s Ivo Kaderkou, bývalým šéfem tenisového svazu? Kdo hacknul mladým sociálním demokratům Facebook? A máte radši uhlobarony, nebo agrobarony? V každém případě si poslechněte aktuální Reaktor.----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny.

When Eoghan Murphy became minister for housing, he wanted to change everything. He wanted to declare housing an emergency. He wanted a constitutional right to housing. He got neither as the conservative elements won out. Instead he became the face of the housing crisis, the minister for homelessness. On a Free State Weekend Special, Eoghan Murphy talks to Dion about failure and dealing with pressure. He breaks down as he remembers the darkest moment when politics turned him into someone he didn't want to be. Dion asks him about his recent book event at the Irish embassy in London with Ryan Tubridy. Murphy also remembers an encounter with Joe Brolly in O'Donoghue's pub but his version has one key difference to Joe's.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

When you become a relational idealist, when you begin to believe in others, you're not free from wounds. Jesus was betrayed by a kiss, so don't be surprised when you are. And I can make the world better when I believe in people. Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. When God believes in you, you start becoming what he sees in you. You have to actually learn how to celebrate with others. It's really, really easy to like people when they're doing poorly. Last year when our company collapsed, I had so many people who liked me. It's so much easier to be a friend when that friend has a world that's falling apart. But when the world thins out, the world has to celebrate your success. This is what the economy of God is like. We like people when they are in the same condition as usual or worse. But we don't like it when people seem to get what they got by working less or got more than we got by not earning it. Why is it easier to celebrate your success when someone else has failed?

Christmas time is here! (Cue the “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!” music!) It's the end of the semester, and we take a little time to reflect on what we've done and what we've learned this semester. Matt prompts the discussion this week with a two-part question: 1) What gifts did we receive from our students this year? And 2) What gifts would we like to give to educators? We have a lot of great things we have found blessings from our students, from their reflective responses, to their self-knowledge, to their hospitality, welcoming nature, and idealism. We also have gifts we would love to give to our fellow educators, including bravery, collaboration, authentic professional development, and resources for mental health. Thanks, as always, for listening. We appreciate you so much! We hope that this Christmas season is a blessing for you amidst the blur of busyness, friends!  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

In 1965, New York City was teetering on the edge of an uncertain future, but a Republican congressman from the Upper East Side was determined to save it. Fighting traditional power brokers and machine politicians, John Lindsay improbably was elected mayor that year; his eight years in office became one of the most tumultuous and transformative times in New York's recent history. In part one of a three-part podcast series by Spectrum News NY1, Errol Louis explores John Lindsay's turbulent New York, focusing on his early years in Congress and building up to being elected mayor in a dramatic three-way race in November of 1965.

To conclude our trilogy of interviews with prominent tech journalists to celebrate the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the DLD Conference, today's interview is with David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect and founder of Techonomy Media. In contrast with Steven Levy and John Markoff, whose attitude toward Silicon Valley doesn't seem have dramatically changed, Kirkpatrick's thinking has undergone quite a radical shift over the last twenty years. As he acknowledges, he's been transformed from a Facebook believer into one of its most acute critics. And, in contrast with Levy and Markoff, Kirkpatrick's intellectual attention has also broadened, shifting from the internet to focusing on technological fixes for global warming.David Kirkpatrick is a longtime technology and business journalist, author and media entrepreneur, known for his work connecting technology developments to societal impact and progress. He is an expert on internet companies and social media, and is now focusing especially on climate tech and the climate economy. He is also known for moderating on-stage conversations with tech leaders. Kirkpatrick's bestselling 2010 book, The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that is Connecting the World, was published in 32 languages, including Catalan and Vietnamese. It was a finalist for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year as well as the Gerald Loeb Award. In subsequent years, he has written extensively about the growing societal harms caused by Facebook/Meta and social media broadly. His articles include 2018's Facing Facebook's Failure for Techonomy, and earlier that same year, The Facebook Defect, in Time Magazine. In December 2023 he published Vinod Khosla Can See the Future: It Just Got Hazy for a Minute in The Information. Kirkpatrick founded and for 12 years led Techonomy Media, which hosted conferences on technology, innovation, business, and their connection to social progress. Techonomy's mission was to highlight ways technology could improve society and human lives. Among his numerous onstage interviews there were Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Benioff, John Chambers, Commerce Sec. Penny Pritzker, economist Jeffrey Sachs, Patrick Collison, DARPA Chief Arati Prabhakar, Sen. Cory Booker, Nandan Nilekani, and Sean Parker. He also has served as a moderator at Burda Media's DLD conference for 19 years, interviewing a wide range of leaders including Mark Zuckerberg. Kirkpatrick worked for Time Inc. for 30 years, mostly at Fortune Magazine, where he was for many years senior editor for internet and technology. Many years earlier, while serving as a copy clerk at Life Magazine, he served as unit chairperson of The Newspaper Guild at Time Inc. He founded and hosted Fortune's Brainstorm conference series beginning in 2001 and for six years wrote its Fast Forward column. At Brainstorm he hosted and interviewed Pres. Bill Clinton, Israeli Pres. Shimon Peres, Senator John McCain, and numerous technology and business CEOs. He was a formal participant and moderator at the World Economic Forum in Davos for 21 years, and for 13 years was a member of the Forum's International Media Council, consisting of 100 top global media leaders. He also served for many years as a contributing editor at Bloomberg Television. He is a recipient of the 2012 Silicon Valley Visionary Award, awarded alongside Elon Musk, Jim Breyer, and Sal Khan. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Lauren and Rachael talk ethics, personal values, and what it can look like to honor those ideals in your creative business. They discuss how outside forces can challenge one's adherence to a self-imposed ethical framework and OF COURSE the importance of holding the nuance through it all. This discussion blossoms into an exploration of how the mutual support of a loving community can help us grow and thrive; plus, a reminder on the importance of checking in with yourself and having the courage to change course when your current path no longer suits you.Episode Mentions: https://www.instagram.com/heykyle/NightBitch by Rachel J.

One of the most hotly debated terms this century is the word woke. It means to be aware, as in, “I have woke up to [this cause].” Formerly, you were not aware; now, you are. Woke is most often used in the context of what some folks believe are the oppressors and the oppressed: “I am awake to your oppression.” Within this group of woke people, you will find a spectrum of adherents. On one end, there are the innocent idealists, and on the other, there are angry activists.

 Ali Abu Awwad is hard to summarize. He grew up with a mother in the PLO, and served jail time for his role in the resistance during the First Palestinian Intifada. In an Israeli prison, Ali learned the power of nonviolence when he and his mother went on hunger strike to see each other. After his brother was killed by Israeli soldiers, his family met with a group of bereaved Jewish parents. Awwad says witnessing the shared humanity of Palestinian and Israeli mourners "turned his world upside down."  Awwad has been working as a peacebuilder since 2002, and has given talks around Israel, Palestine, and the world. His current work is leading Taghyeer, a Palestinian movement —"to take nonviolent responsibility for self-development and forging a path to end occupation." Awwad says he founded Taghyeer, a "DNA Palestinian movement" to focus on the "homework" needed to lay the foundation for true Palestinian self-governance and an end to Israeli military occupation. In this conversation, Awwad gives us an intimate view of his own inner transformation, and an inside look at Palestinian identity and self-determination. LEARN MOREWatch: An Israeli and a Palestinian talk peace, dignity and safety a conversation with Ali Abu Awwad and Ami Dar, Israeli peace activist and founder of Idealist.org, from TED.Read: “I Don't Want to Resist the Occupation—I Want to End the Occupation” an interview with Ali Abu Awwad in the Nation MagazineRead: Nonviolence Is the Missing Path to Israeli-Palestinian Peace editorial by Ali Abu Awwad in "The Daily Beast"Listen: Ali Abu Awwad and Robi Damelin on Nonviolence as The Path to Freedom for Palestinians and Israelis  on "Unlocking Us" with Brené BrownMusic in this episode by Xylo-Ziko and Blue Dot Sessions. Special thanks to Cloe Shasha Brooks.   ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin, with help from Faith McClure.

Episode Summary:Join us in this enlightening episode as Pastor Jeff Long delves into the intricate nuances of interpreting the Book of Revelation. In a world where preconceived notions often cloud our understanding of the Bible, Pastor Long underscores the importance of recognizing our biases and approaching scripture with a discerning eye. This conversation promises to equip listeners with the tools to navigate Revelation's complex symbolism and prophetic messages.Pastor Jeff Long discusses four main interpretive approaches to the Book of Revelation: Preterist, Futurist, Historicist, and Idealist. Each of these views shapes how one understands the text's prophecies and messages. By examining these perspectives, Pastor Long provides a balanced view, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each. Keywords such as "Revelation interpretations," "biblical prophecy," and "idealist approach" are central to this discussion.Emphasizing the importance of how we read and keep the words of Revelation, Pastor Long argues for an Idealist approach, which sees the prophecies as repeated patterns applicable to the church of any era, including today. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in theology, eschatology, or the practical application of biblical teachings.Key Takeaways:*  **Preconceived Notions:** We all approach the Bible with pre-established convictions that shape our interpretations.*  **Interpretive Approaches:** The four dominant views on Revelation are Preterist, Futurist, Historicist, and Idealist, each offering unique insights.*  **Idealist View:** Pastor Long advocates for an Idealist perspective, seeing Revelation's prophecies as ongoing patterns relevant to believers today.*  **Application in Daily Life:** The call to perseverance and faithfulness in the words of Revelation is not just historical but immediate and current.*  **Maranatha - Imminent Return:** Believers are encouraged to read, hear, and keep the prophecies with the understanding that the return of Jesus Christ is near.Notable Quotes:1. "Your interpretation is your glasses. If you got the wrong ones on, you're seeing something. You're just seeing it skewed or different."2. "If you interpret all of the apocalyptic images as being fulfilled in the first century, then you're denying future predictions."3. "Revelation is looking primarily to the great event of Christ's coming. I think any normal person reading the book is going to see that that's a big deal."4. "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near."5. "You should read it and keep reading it and keep applying it to hear and keep what is written with the thought in your mind. The time is near."Resources:*  No explicit resources were mentioned in the transcript.Encourage yourself to dive deeper by listening to the full episode, where Pastor Jeff Long offers profound insights into the Book of Revelation.

As the fall election creeps closer, most of us think of our political divide as Red America vs. Blue America. But another way to view our nation’s fractured landscape is to sort people into two camps: idealists and pragmatists. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss these two political philosophies, the benefits of each and whether one approach is stronger. Links to stories discussed during the podcast Indiana is revealing the real consequences of one-party rule, by Mitch Daniels About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way).

Are you ready to unlock the profound mysteries of the book of Revelation? This episode promises to demystify what many find daunting, offering a balanced approach that neither shies away from its complexities nor becomes lost in its prophetic depths. We begin by setting the stage with an introduction that includes the letters to the seven churches and the majestic heavenly throne room, providing a broad yet insightful look at the theological significance of these early chapters. Expect to gain a solid grasp of the four main interpretative views—Preterist, Historicist, Idealist, and Futurist—giving you the tools to appreciate the diverse ways Revelation can be understood.Ever wondered how God's timeless perspective transforms the nature of prophecy? We'll explore how the promises in Revelation defy our chronological expectations, coming to fruition suddenly and unexpectedly. Special attention is given to the blessing for those who read, hear, and obey this book, and John's greeting to the seven churches in Asia Minor, laden with the rich symbolism of the Trinity. The episode also delves into the prophetic vision of Jesus' return, emphasizing its universal witness, even by those who crucified Him. As John transitions into his detailed visions, we lay the groundwork for understanding the profound revelations that follow.What does it mean to hold fast to faith in the face of exile and hardship? We reflect on the Apostle John's unwavering faith despite his isolation on Patmos, drawing parallels to modern challenges in Christianity. The vision of Jesus, holding authority over death with a two-edged sword coming from His mouth, provides a powerful image of hope and triumph. We discuss the comforting message of "Fear not," resonating through the reactions of other biblical prophets to divine revelations. Join us as we draw inspiration from John's resilience, encouraging steadfast faith and hope even in today's trying circumstances.Support the Show.

This week's episode features a conversation with philosopher and scientist Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, a prominent figure in the renaissance of metaphysical idealism—the view that reality is fundamentally mental, meaning to say that everything that exists is consciousness or Mind. Bernardo Kastrup is also the Executive Director at the Essentia Foundation, a new foundation dedicated to exploring the nature of reality, and is renowned for his extensive publications, including his upcoming book 'Analytical Idealism in a Nutshell.'Our conversation reveals the deep parallels between Tantrik Shaivism and metaphysical idealism, both of which conceptualize reality as fundamentally mental or conscious. We discuss how these perspectives, although expressed in different languages, converge on the same understanding. The episode includes an afterword, and for those unfamiliar with Dr. Kastrup's work, we recommend starting there to better appreciate the insights shared in our dialogue.Take Bernardo Kastrup's free online introductory course Analytic Idealism with Bernardo Kastrup.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.
