Šajā dziļajā un atklātajā sarunā teologs, mācītājs un lektors Indulis Paičs ielūkojas pašvērtības un jēgpilnas dzīves noslēpumos. Viņš vedina izprast mūsdienu sabiedrībā tik aktuālo pašapziņas konceptu, atklājot, ka tā nav tikai maska vai sacensība ar citiem, bet gan dziļa sajūta par savu piederību pasaulei un Universam. Caur personīgiem piemēriem un garīgām atziņām Paičs atsedz ceļu, kā atrast savu īsto aicinājumu un dzīvot saskaņā ar to – ieklausoties savā iekšējā balsī un netraucējot tam avotam, kas mūsos ir, brīvi izpausties. Šī saruna ir vērtīgs ceļvedis ikvienam, kas meklē dziļāku dzīves jēgu un vēlas justies patiesi dzīvs.Iegūsti BEZMAKSAS mājaslapas analīzi 300 EUR vērtībā no Cilvēkjaudas atbalstītāja Premium Solutions.

Saruna par to, kā izskatās dzīve sievietei alpīnistei, kura kopā ar vīru regulāri dodas kāpt pasaules augstkalnu virsotnēs, kāpj kilometru augstās klinšu sienās, mīl leduskāpšanu un raksta grāmatas par saviem piedzīvojumiem.Te alpīniste un grāmatu autore Kristīne Liepiņa stāsta par savu ceļu no personas, kas uzskatīja sevi par "vāju un kalniem nepiemērotu" līdz alpīnistei, kura uzkāpusi apmēram 200 kalnu virsotnēs vairākos kontinentos un uzrakstījusi divas grāmatas.Sarunā uzzināsi par baiso kritienu treniņos, no kura Kristīnei nācās atgūties mēnešiem, par to, kāpēc kalnos viņa un vīrs Kristaps Liepiņš "nav vīrs un sieva", bet gan komandas biedri, un kādēļ katrs grams mugursomā var izšķirt dzīvību un nāvi. Kristīne stāsta arī par jauno grāmatu "Andīnisms. Pirmatnības vilinājums", kurā apkopoti stindzinoši pieredzes stāsti.Cilvēkjaudas atbalstītājs – Pasiekstes Vējdzirnavas.

0:14Good morning, good morning, good afternoon.0:15How are you doing out there in the world?0:18And well, this is a revamp of prepare responder covers program we put on last two, oh, guess two years ago, right, We started with it.0:29I'm looking into all different aspects of what it is to respond to large scale emergencies and not just Emergency Management. Still, we're looking at law, fire, EMS, private industry, public side of things.0:47It's a broad brush.0:49And so I'm excited.0:51And so Todd and I, Todd Manzat is the 2 Todd's here.0:55Start talking about it, what it is and, and, and you know, he's got some really great insight.1:01I've known Todd for a while now.1:04And as you can tell here, the Blue Cell is the premier sponsor of this program.1:08And so I want to thank Todd for that.1:10And Todd, welcome.1:11Welcome to our show, I guess, for lack of better term.1:14Hey, well, thanks, thanks for the welcome.1:16And, you know, it was, it was kind of funny as we were kind of batting this around at the end of last year and, you know, here we are now getting ready to kind of jump right into it.1:29But certainly the world's events have helped us to have at least some stuff to talk about in the last 30 days.1:38It feels like it's April already.1:40And I know we'll get into a little bit of that.1:42But thanks for having me.1:43I'm glad to be part of it.1:46I think this is the longest January I've ever lived, Right?1:53Well, it's, you know, in some ways we're thinking back a little bit to, you know, what's going on.1:58I was in New Orleans this week and the events of New Year's Eve are in the distant past when they're worried about the Super Bowl.2:06They had a snowstorm and they had a a Sugar Bowl.2:09And it's, it's really interesting that the tempo right now is as real as it gets with regards to, you know, what we are going to be talking about here, you know, interested about that.2:22It's like, you know, obviously the, the events of January 1st with both New Orleans and Vegas, how quickly it came out of, out of the news cycle because you know, fires happened in, in, in California, you know, and that kept us hopping over here.2:40You know, obviously you guys all know that I live in, well, maybe not everybody, but I, I live in Southern California.2:46And so those fires directly impacted my area, not necessarily where I live, but close enough to where I have friends that lost homes and stuff in the fire.2:57So, I mean, and then then we got rain right after that, which is causing problems.3:03And then there's snow storms in in Louisiana in the South that's causing problems there.3:07And we're still not recovering from Hurricane Helene, You know, And then in the midst of all this, we get a new presidential administration, which is definitely moving fast, you know, And yeah, so are, are we going to be able to take your breath?3:28Well, you know, I don't know that we have a choice, right?3:30It's that kind of race.3:32And, you know, being as ready as we can be in different places, that's kind of part of it.3:38So that the folks who are sprinting as fast as they can can be relieved.3:41And one of the things that was interesting when I was in, in Louisiana this past week, they were talking about barring snow plows from another state.3:49Who, who does know how to do that, you know, pretty interestingly.3:52And then obviously, unfortunately, the events in DC with the, with the plane crash as the, you know, the most recent thing, another really, you know, significant type of event and response.4:09Just hearing, you know, some of the press conference stuff where they're talking about, you know, the things that, you know, I teach all the time, Unified command 300 responders out there.4:21Got to replace those responders.4:23Got a lot going on, got a lot of media, right.4:26All those aspects of something that makes any kind of response a little more complex.4:34Definitely it's going to be a a fun filled year of topics if we stay at this at this pace for sure.4:44Yeah, I want to talk about that plane crash here for forbid, not not about the plane crunch itself, but about how as a those of us in the field, you know, I know a whole bunch of people that are traveling at any given time.5:01I mean, you're one of them, a couple of friends down in Texas.5:05You have a friend of mine who carries Fronza, who's the president of IEM, who she was travelling during this time.5:13And I went to my, my, my click box of, oh, who do I need?5:17Who do I need to call to see if they're impacted by this?5:20And even if it's something as far away as DC, you know, and now you're going, oh, crap.5:25I mean, I called you or at least reached out to you to see if you know if you're travelling yet.5:30So you don't.5:30It's just this is amazing, like how small of a world we truly are when it comes to that.5:36And then I have friends that work and you do too, Todd, you know, that work in the capital that a part of Metro and and and DC fire and Fairfax fire.5:46And you know, you, you see this happening.5:48You're going, these are people who you know closely that are already impacted by this event, let alone the tragedy of the those lives that were lost, you know, in this tragic accident.6:01And I think that's part of the thing with what we do here between you and myself and, and the, and the organizations that, you know, we do touch every aspect of, of the United States and at some point global when it comes to Emergency Management, We're going to be able to bring those, that perspective to, to the this conversation.6:24Yeah.6:24I think the, the other thing that kind of jumped out at me was, you know, trying to think back through the history and, and certainly some of the legacy media folks were talking about the last time we had a crash and how long ago it was.6:38And in fact, I don't know if you picked up on it.6:41That last one was Buffalo and obviously Buffalo, NY.6:46You've got connections to that place, right?6:48Yeah, yeah, right.6:52And I'm headed to Binghamton, NY next Friday, which is not that far down the road.6:57So it's, you know, to bring it somewhat full circle, preparedness, response and recovery are interconnected.7:05All these disciplines are interconnected.7:09How we do things, we're trying to make them as interconnected, you know, as possible.7:17And I think it's going to be the right conversation, especially when we bring some doctrinal things in and and talking about some specific topics and then trying to overlay it to things that are really happening.7:31I think that's going to be one of the unique things about the conversation, hopefully, as we move the show forward.7:38Yeah, absolutely.7:39And I think the other thing too, Todd, that you know, you and I have some really deep conversations, you know, when it comes to the state of Emergency Management, the state of disaster response, you know, where where we need to go and how to get there.7:57And you know, the fact that we have a kind of book in this thing here, but we have progressive states that look at Emergency Management and disaster response and disaster preparedness and planning as holistic, right?8:13So that means like fire, police, EMS, public works, right, that we always forget, you know, public health, they're all involved in the conversation.8:23And then you have some States and somewhere areas that are myopic, right?8:27And they're very much silos on everything they they do.8:30I think some of the conversation that we're going to have here is hopefully to break down those silos and and be able to have those full conversations that we are all hazards approach to everything that we look at.8:42And I think that's critical, right?8:45And I think also in the, you know, our show concept, and I think it's important to share, you know, in this first episode, it won't just be me and you hanging out with each other.8:55I think our concept of bringing in guests as a, a third element to the show, a third voice, I think will be important.9:04I know you're working on lining up a few.9:06I'm working on lining up a few.9:08It'll be exciting.9:09And, you know, as we move into the coming weeks to get that guest line up out to folks and they can kind of hear a perspective and we'll definitely, you know, be leveraging our relationships.9:21I think to to bring in some strong, strong individuals to give a dynamic focus on, you know, what we're talking about.9:31And Speaking of relationships, I mean, you know, the other good part about this too is Todd, you and I both have some good relationships with some people that can bring really great insight.9:43And so we'll be leveraging those relationships as well to be able to bring you the audience some more insight to what what's happening in, in close to real time as possible.9:53And then of course, you know, my position with IEM allow some conversations to to happen as well.10:01And the Today as an example, well, we, we have to talk a little bit about the, the elephant in the room is what's going on with FEMA.10:10The, the president has set forth his vision on, on making changes.10:16And I don't think there's an emergency manager in the United States right now that doesn't think the Stafford Act needs to be, you know, looked at and, and fixed, right?10:30You know, it's an old act, right?10:33And that FEMA does need to have, you know, to be maybe remodeled a little bit.10:38Sure.10:39I, I definitely don't think it should be destroyed and taken away, But you know, where does it belong and, and, and how does it work?10:47And you know, I've been calling for a few years now.10:49Well, let's say probably over 10 years now that FEMA should be a stand alone agency.10:53And there's, there's cons and pros for both for, for all of this, right?10:59And then today I got to sit down with the acting administrator, Hamilton to hear a little bit about his background and what his, his, you know, his goals are.11:11And the good thing is, is what he's doing right now is listening to the emergency managers out there, meeting with the big groups such as IEM and Nima, big cities, meeting with them to discuss what their needs and goals and, and desires are when it comes to what FEMA is and can be.11:34And I think it's a really important first step.11:37And I, and I commend them for that.11:40Yeah.11:40You know, the, the, the basic rules and kind of organizational leadership are you, you got to, got to figure out what your objectives are, to figure out what your mission is, that type of thing.11:51And, and many times it's a driving factor in where you end up or who you're working for working under and, and how it's supposed to work.12:00I think, you know, that revisit it's, it's not something necessarily that, you know, every time you get a new leader in that you need to do that, But you also can't go 20 or 30 or 40 years and have problems and not do it.12:16And you know, there obviously is a, has been for some time a heartbeat out there saying, Hey, let's let's have it as a, a cabinet member.12:27And my position is whether it's a cabinet member or not, it's still going to come down to the mission, the organization, understanding what the mission is and the talent that's inside the organization.12:40I was in this little teeny organization for a short time called the United States Marine Corps.12:45It's a it's a branch under a department, but everybody knows who we are.12:51Everybody knows what we do because we've got a clear mission.12:53I've had it for 250 years and we're the best at what we do.12:57So in some ways, when you do it well, it doesn't matter that you're not equal to the Department of the Navy and under the Department of the Navy, just as an example.13:09And so I think that's going to be a hard, long conversation and a lot of work that'll have to be done to establish that capability that is not only understood but is respected and is effective in the field.13:27Because that's what's been coming into question is it's effectiveness in the field.13:31Where it sits organizationally probably doesn't have much to do with that.13:35So I think it'll be interesting moving forward.13:39I'm not watching from afar.13:40Certainly have a lot of folks that I'm talking to that are, they're nervous and they're trying to, you know, decipher what's happening and figure it out and where do I fit in?13:51In the end, you got to do the best job that you can and not have that question because you did the best job that could be done.13:58And so I I think that'll be something worth talking about moving forward and, and watching how it kind of transpires.14:08Yeah, absolutely.14:09And, and you're right, I think nervousness, I think is a good word to say.14:13Uncertainty, right?14:14It breeds nervousness a little bit.14:15And I think that's kind of where we're at.14:17And, you know, the current administration's communication style is, is interesting at the at the best or at the worst, I suppose, or whichever we look at it is sometimes I believe, you know, President Trump just floats things out there just to see how people react.14:34And, you know, he's a, he's interesting guy that way.14:40And I think it takes a little bit of time to get used to that style of communication.14:45Whether you agree with it or not.14:46It just says it is what it is, right?14:48You know, not just talking about the yeah, go ahead.14:55I was going to say that.14:56I was just going to judge.15:01We all have to get used to how Manhattan downtown developers do business.15:08That's, that's what we have to get used to.15:10And, and most of us haven't had to deal with that.15:13So it's a, it's a different way that things get done.15:17There's no question.15:19Yeah, absolutely.15:20And like I said, I'm not, I'm not judging it.15:23I'm not putting a value to it.15:24I'm just saying it is what it is.15:25And this is what we have to deal with.15:26You know, I, I think as emergency managers and, and, and guys that are in the field, you know, when we're looking at situations, we have to understand that we don't have time to placate on whether we agree with something or not.15:43We just have to deal with the consequences of what's happening.15:45And, and, and this is where we're at.15:47We have to deal with the consequences that, that, that are happening.15:51And so, you know, that being said, you know, what is the future of Emergency Management when it comes to to what the federal government believes in?16:03That's going to be a long conversation.16:05You know, you know, and we, we have a long history of things changing.16:13And I think we forget this because, you know, we we live in the generation that we're in, right?16:20And we may look back at the previous generations, but we live in where we're at and what we're used to and in that comfort zone.16:28And, you know, I think if we reflect back to when, you know, Franklin Donald Roosevelt created an office that would look at Emergency Management, if you will, without using the terminology.16:39It's where we grew up from, you know, to Truman turned it into really the civil defense of what we think of today, you know, with the Burt the Turtle and all that nuclear stuff that they were dealing with.16:50And and then it kind of got to Jimmy Carter at this point where he turned it into FEMA in 79.16:56And then, of course, the Stafford Act.16:58These are chunks that we didn't live in, right?17:01You know, some I, I, you know, realistically, Todd, you and I, we're from, you know, 70s into the, to the 80s when we were, you know, kids and then we're working.17:12The experience has been this short box.17:14So we look at these boxes that we've lived in and not understanding what the, what the history was and what the changes are.17:20So, so this too, you know, will be a little uncomfortable, but maybe it's uncomfortable that we need to be better.17:28And if we look at it that way and, and as long as we're part of the conversation, that's my only concern is if we start having conversation without us, then what does that mean?17:38Right, right.17:40And I think the, the other thing, just analyzing it a little bit as an outsider looking in, I think what are the alternatives going to be?17:51You know, they're, they're talking about a few alternatives and, and putting pressure or responsibility in other places, like for example, the states.18:00Well, they better do a true analysis of whether that capability is actually there.18:07It sounds great and it probably looks good on paper, but there's going to be a harsh reality that that may not be the answer.18:17And I'm, I'm not going to call out any one state or any 10 states or any 25 states.18:22I'm just going to say there will be serious questions as to whether certain states can take on those previous FEMA responsibilities.18:33And I think it could be a bigger mess and a bigger tragedy if that's not really looked at very, very hard and and very critically in terms of what the capabilities actually are in some of those locations.18:51You know, I think about the fires that we just had here in Los Angeles County and one of the last fires that kicked off as this thing was burning, you know, they were able to put 4000 firefighters onto a fire in in a very short period of time to stop it from burning up the town of Castaic or the village, I guess, right.19:13We got lucky in one aspect that there were already firefighters down here from all over the place that we can, we, we can move those assets over.19:20You know, that's one state.19:23State of California is unique in that aspect of it.19:26I mean, I don't think and, and I'm going to pick on a state and I mean, I can, you know, if, if you fear for that state, please let me, I'm telling you, I don't know the assets.19:35So I'm not not saying that you can't do it.19:37But if you took like Montana, for instance, who has lot of wild land fires, I don't know if they could put in in in 30 minutes of a fire kicking off, Could they put 4000 firefighters on that fire in 30 minutes of a kicking off?19:52Or Colorado for that matter, where you're from, you know, do they have those assets?19:57And, and maybe they do, maybe they don't, but that's the difference between having mutual aid and the federal government coming in to be able to pay for things on the back end than it is to to not right.20:09And and again, maybe Montana and Colorado could put those assets on their.20:13I'm not, I'm not trying to say that you're not on issues as an example, I want to be clear on that.20:19But you know, without federal assistance immediately, can the smaller states handle those large scale disasters as quickly as they can right now?20:34Sure.20:34I yeah, I definitely think that's, you know, that resource management piece is a is a big aspect of it.20:40But let's say you're a week into it, do some of the states have the ability to even manage that?20:50You know, when we start to think about some of the large scale operations and you know, maybe maybe you have an Emergency Management office, full time staff of 20 people that may not have, you know, the ability or the experience of handling, you know, that type of complexity.21:11That is the word that always bothers me.21:16The, the actual complexity.21:18You know, incident command speaks to it quite a bit.21:21We've got a pretty good system for incident command.21:23We've got a pretty good system at the top tier of who manages complex incidents and who's qualified to manage complex incidents.21:32Well, you know, some of that would somewhat come into question if you don't have that guidance from, from FEMA or even some of their support from an IMAP perspective.21:42And then we're that we're going to rely on a state agency of, of 16 people to, to be able to do it.21:51I don't know.21:52I I think it's definitely something that it's going to be a, a bridge we have to cross if that's the direction that we end up going.22:00Yeah, absolutely.22:01And, and, and going back to some of the smaller states.22:03And I'll pick on Maine here for a minute because I was talking, I was talking to one of the guys from Maine and they have volunteer emergency managers, you know, you know, and I'm like, well, and it blew my mind when we had this conversation with him.22:22I'm like, you know, I I never thought about that, that you have a town, you know, a state that's so, you know, sparsely populated in some areas that they just have some dude who's like, all right, I'll, I'll do it for a volunteer.22:34You know, like that means you get your regular day job that you're doing and in the evening, maybe you're, you know, you're doing Emergency Management stuff.22:42Yeah, that kind of that kind of blows my mind a little bit.22:45So, you know, what do we do with states like that that don't even have the ask the the ability to pay for emergency managers, you know, to live in what?22:53I mean, you know, how do we ask?22:56How do we?22:56And the support doesn't necessarily, you know, I want to rewind the minute, the support doesn't necessarily have to be be people on the ground, right?23:05You know, those volunteer emergency managers in Maine may have the the capabilities of doing it as on a volunteer basis because they don't have a lot of disasters that occurred.23:13That's fine.23:13I'm not, I'm not making fun of that position.23:17What I'm saying is they need support and the support that they might get might just be from training, you know, grants to help pay for things because obviously their tax base is going to be lower.23:29So they may need those, those grants from from the federal government to to pay for programs, you know, the send people to EMI or whatever they change their name to, you know, you know, for, for training, you know, the university.23:50Is that the university?23:52FEMA you or, or, you know, used to be FEMA you.23:56yeah.com.23:58Good Lord.23:59Something we're going to, we're going to send us hate mail.24:02Jeff Stearns, Doctor Stearns, We're not making fun of you, man.24:05We're just right.24:12Excuse me, but yeah.24:14I mean, we go into this like, how do we support those smaller states that don't have big budgets?24:20I'm lucky to be from living in California and from New York, which are, you know, have big budgets, but I mean, heck, even New York State, you know, I mean, if you want to take a look at the responders in New York State, there's the majority of the responders in New York State are volunteer.24:41You know, it's one of the states that there are more Volunteer Fire departments in New York State than paid, you know, So what does that look like?24:50And, and what support are they getting from, from the federal government, whether it's through FEMA, the National Forest Service, I help it out with, with different grants and stuff.25:00The you, you know, out here in, in the West Coast, we have BLM, which has firefighting assets and things that could be used.25:09There's a lot of stuff that National Forest Service.25:12There's a lot of stuff that we're relying upon and maybe even too much, right?25:17Maybe that's the back of our mind and and we're relying on those, those assets.25:22You don't compare it to saying let's pretend they don't exist, right?25:26I don't know.25:28That's the stuff I think is making a lot of people nervous about some of the changes that are going on right now of the unknown answers to unknown questions.25:39Yeah.25:41Well, it's going to be interesting.25:42It's going to be good.25:43And we'll kind of start to figure out right the next, next episode and who knows who's going to be in what jobs.25:54So we, we may, we may get a, a really good guess right as we, as we move forward or some of the folks who've previously been in those positions that give us some insight.26:06I think that's really our goal.26:10Absolutely.26:11Well, Todd, you know, we're trying to keep these within that 30 minute window and we're coming up to the last few minutes here on our conversation.26:22Is there anything that you'd like to say to the listeners out there that are coming back and, and how do we, you know, to the new listeners that might be just finding us?26:32I say, you know, TuneIn and we definitely will keep it interested and keep it moving from that perspective and, and give some feel reporting too.26:41That's one of the things I know that we've talked about that we want to incorporate here because I think it'll give a little bit different feel to to the conversation.26:52But I think this was a good one to get us started and look forward to talking to you next week.27:00Absolutely, my friend.27:01Looking forward to seeing you next week.27:03It's always, it's always nice to see that big smile right there very often.27:09Right.27:09Yeah.27:11All right, all right, everybody, until next time, you know, stay safe and well, stay hydrated.

Kā vērtēt cilvēka dzīvi? Kas nosaka tās kvalitāti un kāpēc cilvēki bieži vien neapzinās, ka novecot ir privilēģija, kas laupīta daudziem? Par to šajā epizodē sarunājamies ar sociālantropoloģi Annu Žabicku. Antropologi uz procesiem sabiedrībā raugās citādāk. Viņu pieeja var noderēt, lai paskatītos uz savu dzīvi un pamanītu tajā vairāk iespēju.Anna dalās ar novērojumiem savos pētījumos par to, kā dažādi sociālie, ekonomiskie un kultūras faktori ietekmē cilvēku pieredzi, kura varētu būt labāka. Runājām par latviešiem raksturīgiem aizspriedumiem pret pansionātiem, par medicīnas vēsturi, par radniecības saitēm caur kopīgu maltīšu ieturēšanu un kāpēc dāvanu pasniegšanas tradīcijas ir dziļi iesakņojušās mūsu kultūrā.Anna stāsta arī par medicīnas antropoloģijas perspektīvu un kā dažādi apstākļi ietekmē cilvēku spēju tikt galā ar slimībām un ārstēšanos. Tas palīdzēs laikus domāt par savu vecumdienu labklājību, īpaši sievietēm, kurām nabadzības risks ir augstāks.Vairāk informācijas sarunas lapā.SARUNAS PIETURPUNKTI:0:00 Ievads4.05 Kas pamudināja antropoloģi pētīt cilvēku novecošanos 9.44 “Uz novecošanos kopumā mums vajadzētu skatīties kā uz milzīgu privilēģiju”14:03 Ko pēta antropoloģija, kā atšķiras Eiropas un ASV sistēmas17:29 Nomierināties ar radniecības antropoloģijas palīdzību18:34 Izveidot medicīnas antropoloģijas kursu ar mērķi saniknot cilvēkus21:46 Slimība, diagnoze, pieredze – no kādiem faktoriem atkarīgs, kādēļ indivīdi šo uztver un izdzīvo atšķirīgi25:46 Galvenais mērķis, ko antropologi vēlas panākt medicīnā30:22 Piemērs, kas ilustrē to, kā daudz un dažādi apstākļi var ietekmēt indivīda spēju veikt ārstēšanas procesu33:30 Situācijas, par kurām pārmetam sev nevajadzīgi; kādēļ Latvijā ir aizspriedumi pret pansionātiem38:24 Kāds būtu ideālais modelis katra cilvēka vecumdienām40:40 “Mums nav politiskās gribas pievērsties tiem cilvēkiem, kuri mums jau ir” 43:34 Antropoloģes ieteikums, par ko rūpēties šodien, lai vecumdienas būtu baudāmākas48:05 “Nabadzības risks sievietēm ir augstāks nekā vīriešiem” – ko darīt, lai laicīgi sevi pasargātu53:18 Likumi stīvi un radniecība spuraina – uz ko skatās radniecības antropooģija56:17 Ēšana – radniecība – antropoloģija. “Vai mēs ēdam kopā tāpēc, ka mēs esam radinieki, vai mēs esam radinieki tāpēc, ka mēs ēdam kopā”57:35 Patiesais iemesls, kāpēc mēs pasniedzam dāvanas1:11:05 “Ielikt cilvēku centrā, cilvēka pieredzi centrā”1:13:46 Kā, fokusējoties uz otru, var iemācīties arī pozicionēt sevi1:22:17 Kas interesants atrodams Medicīnas vēstures muzejā1:24:36 Iemācīties saprast, ka atšķirība un dažādība ir resurss

Laikā kad Latvijā izjūtama spēcīga lauku iztukšošanās tendence un attālāku reģionu depopulācija, ir arī tādi cilvēki, kas iet pret straumi un izdara apzinātu izvēli par atgriešanos vai dzīves sākšanu lauku vidē un lauku viensētā. Tādi ir arī jaunā Latvijas Radio podkāsta “Es izvēlos dzīvi laukos” piecu sēriju galvenie varoņi – jauni cilvēki, kas izbraukājuši tuvākas un tālākas zemes, šobrīd savu dzīvi un darbu veido laukos. Iemesli dažādi – brīvības alkas, senču mantojuma sentiments, pašaudzēta pārtika un biznesa iespēju potenciāls. Tomēr ar motivāciju vien nepietiek, dzīve laukos atklāj arī dažādus izaicinājumus. Nogurums no patērēšanas, nostaļģija pēc bērnības vasarām laukos, mentālās veselības sakārtošana ir iemesls, kāpēc Inga Mastiņa pirms vairākiem gadiem pameta galvaspilsētu, lai dzīvi no jauna sāktu dziļos Latvijas laukos. „Rakstniece Nora Ikstena ir teikusi tādu teikumu – iemīlēt Latviju nozīmē iemīlēt novembri, un es toreiz pie Maltas upes sēdēju un sapratu, jā, tas ir noticis.” Inga Mastiņa jeb radošajā vārdā Inka ir rakstniece, redaktore, bet sevi tagad sauc par dzīves pētnieci. Iemīlēt Latviju arī laikā kad apkārt drēgns, pelēks, nomācies un tumšs, prom no Rīgas viņa devās piecus gadus atpakaļ. „Mans pašmērķis nebija dzīvot laukos, mans mērķis bija doties prom no Rīgas, no trokšņa. Man šķita, ka tur es esmu paveikusi to, kas man ir jāizdara un pārējo es varu darīt attālināti. Un tajā brīdī es biju pārgurusi arī no patērēšanas.” Un tāpēc viņa meklēja dzīvesvietu par darbu. Šādi Inga padzīvojusi vairākās vietās kā Vidzemē tā Latgalē. Un šo ziemu, nemaksājot īri, bet apsaimniekojot un pieskatot kāda cita īpašumu, viņa pārlaiž Aglonas pusē. "Es dzīvoju ar skatu uz Foļvarkas ezeru, es katru dienu eju uz ezeru pēc ūdens, lai nomazgātu muti un es braucu uz Aglonas svētavotu pēc ūdens, lai padzertos. Tāda ir tā mana dzīve.” Ingas dzīvi šobrīd var nosaukt par minimālismu. „Es dzīvoju ar ļoti maz mantām, absolūts minimums, esmu ar mazo mašīnīti un vienu somu un tā es dzīvoju un es saprotu – neko vairāk nevajag.” Arī savus ēšanas paradumus Inga ir pārskatījusi un laika gaitā un apstākļu vadīta krietni  minimizējusi. „Kamēr tas nav mazohisms, kamēr tās nav ciešanas, šādi ir brīnišķīgi dzīvot, bet ir sevi jāpazīst un jāsajūt, lai nedarītu sev pāri." Kaut gan pārdzīvotas šajos gados grūtības, aukstas ziemas, arī vairākas nedēļas bez mazgāšanās, Inga vairs neredz savu dzīvi pilsētā. „Te pirmkārt nervu sistēma aizmirst, kas ir jebkāds stress, tas atslābums, ko iedod saplūšana ar dabu, ar dabas procesiem, to nevar ne ar ko vairs aizvietot, ne ar kādiem miljoniem vai siltajām grīdām.”

Stāsta Latvijas Nacionālā vēstures muzeja Galvenā krājuma glabātāja Ilze Mālkalniete Ar ēku celtniecību latviešiem saistās vairākas tradīcijas: spāru svētki, kad jumta korē tiek likts vainags, tā atzīmējot zināma darbu posma noslēgumu; mūsdienās populārā lentas griešana, kad ēkā ienāk pirmie tās iedzīvotāji. Savukārt nama pamatos mēdz iemūrēt laika kapsulu. Kapsulā tiek likts vēstījums nākamajām paaudzēm, tiek pieminēti cilvēki un organizācijas, kas piedalījušies nama tapšanā, tradicionāli tiek likta tajā laikā apgrozībā esoša monēta un tās dienas avīze. Tas ir svinīgs pasākums, kas tiek iemūžināts fotogrāfijās un par ko raksta prese. Ja namam ir lemts ilgs mūžs, tajā neizbēgami notiek pārbūves, labiekārtošanas darbi un remonti. Interesanti, ka arī šādos darbos meistari ir vēlējušies atstāt vēstījumu nākamajām paaudzēm! Liels rekonstrukcijas un restaurācijas darbu posms šogad noslēdzies Rīgas pilī. Te atrastie vēstījumi stāsta par iepriekšējo paaudžu meistariem un to veiktajiem darbiem. Šoreiz stāsts par dažiem no tiem... * 1916. gada 10. decembrī podnieks Baltiņš, inženieris Frīzendorfs un podnieku meistars Štegmans krāsnī starp Balto zāli un Sūtņu akreditācijas zāli noglabā ar zīmuli aprakstītu malkas šķilu. No tās mēs varam uzzināt, ka četru krāšņu mūrēšana šajā telpā ir pabeigta. * Vairāki vēstījumi pirms to noglabāšanas bijuši ievietoti stikla pudelēs. Iemūrēta pudele ar zīmīti mūs informē par darbu uzsākšanu pils stūra kāpņu tornītī. Tajā lasāms: "Pamata akmens likts no Graudiņa kunga 1939. g.". * 20. gadsimta 30. gados satraukuma pilnu vēstuli pils pagrabā ķieģeļu šķirbā ievieto amatnieks Ēriks Cirītis. * Savukārt 1996. gada 6. jūnijā savu vēstījumu nākamajām paaudzēm pudelē ievieto firmas "Balsts R" meistari, kuri veikuši muzeja konferenču zāles remontu pils Svina torņa 5. stāvā.  * Emocionālu un patriotisku vēstījumu nākamajām paaudzēm atstājis Valsts vēsturiskā muzeja laborants Eduards Pintāns, kurš 1938. gada nogalē piedalījās muzeja ekspozīciju zāles iekārtošanā pils dienvidu korpusa ceturtajā stāvā. Pirms kādas nišas aizbūvēšanas viņš tajā kopā ar divām sviestmaizēm ievietojis zīmīti, kuras tekstā jūtams gan ulmaņlaiku patoss, gan Otrā Pasaules kara tuvošanās noskaņas: "1938. gada 5. decembrī Eduards Pintāns aizplankoja šo sienu. Pēc simtiem gadu, kad jūs lasīsat šos papīrus, no latvju zemes trūdiem es jūs apsveicu ar drosmi, goda prātu un varoņgaru. Mani tautas brāļi, esat stipri. Nebaidaties par taisnību mirt, mīlat savu dzimteni Latviju, esat lepni uz savu tautu, nelietojat alkoholu un nikotīnu. Paturat vienmēr skaidru galvu, neticat mošķiem un māņiem. Esat čakli darbā. No zemes dziļumiem apsveicu savu dārgo tautu, kur Daugava, Gauja veļ sudraba ūdeņus, mūsu dzimtenes kalnos un lejās mājo mūsu senču saknes, gars. Esat sveicināti, Latvieši! E. Pintāns."

Mākslas kritiķis Vilnis Vējš uz sarunu aicinājis divus Artūrus: dzejnieku Artūru Punti no apvienības "Orbīta" un Rīgas Laikmetīgās mākslas telpas projektu vadītāju, mākslinieku Artūru Virtmani, lai runātu par apvienības "Orbīta" izstādi "Skatuves darbi", kas līdz 29. decembrim būs skatāma Rīgas Laikmetīgās mākslas telpā. Ko šī izstāde piedāvā? Vai mainījies mākslas telpas kurss, kopš Rīgas Mākslas telpa kļuvusi par Rīgas Laikmetīgās mākslas telpu? Par to raidījumā. *** No šī gada 8. novembra līdz 29. decembrim Rīgas Laikmetīgās mākslas telpas Lielajā zālē skatāma apvienības "Orbīta" izstāde "Skatuves darbi".  Valmieras apkārtnē uz mazpilsētu un ciemu kultūras namu skatuvēm skalda malku, smalcina zarus, griež matus… Respektīvi, notiek tas, kas parasti uz skatuves nenotiek, – pilnīgi ikdienišķas, praktiskas darbības, sadzīves pakalpojumi, ko nereti piedāvā uz sludinājumu dēļiem vai vietējā presē. Iemūžinātas video, šīs dokumentālās akcijas tiek paralēli projicētas uz vairākiem ekrāniem-aizkariem, bet to skaņu celiņi pārklājas, radot negaidītu mijiedarbību ansambli.  Pēdējo gadu gaitā "Orbīta" daļēji pārcēlusi savu aktivitāšu centru no Rīgas uz Strenčiem. Tur notiek meistarklases un izstādes, tiek pētīts kopējais kultūras konteksts. Daudzekrānu mediju instalācija "Skatuves darbi" turpina šo vektoru, ļaujot "perifērijas" skatuvēm atrast sev vietu galvaspilsētā, organizējot savdabīgu to pārstāvniecību Rīgas Laikmetīgās mākslas telpā.  "Orbīta" ir dzejnieku un multimediju mākslinieku apvienība no Latvijas, dibināta 1999. gadā.

¿Por qué no podemos mover las orejas como otros mamíferos? ¿Es bueno limpiarse las orejas con bastoncillos? ¿Por qué son así, circulares y con pliegues? Para resolver estas dudas, hablamos el Dr. Luis Ángel Vallejo, Jefe del servicio de otorrinolaringología y cirugía de cabeza y cuello del Hospital Río Hortega de Valladolid. Las redes sociales han hecho que el boca-oreja de toda la vida se intensifique tanto que ha provocado que todos los Mercadona de España se llenen de personas en busca del amor cada tarde, ¿estrategia o casualidad?

In this episode of ALPS In Brief, our Bar Partnership Strategist Rio Peterson sits down with Liesel Brink and Amber Kuhlman from the ALPS HR team to talk about careers in Insurance. Learn about their path into HR and learn about all the exciting opportunities that exist in this often overlooked industry.   Transcript:  Rio Peterson: Hello, everybody, and welcome to this month's installment of In Brief. This is episode 79, and I am your host for the first time ever, Rio Peterson. I'll be joining you, hopefully more frequently in a rotation on the podcast, and very much looking forward to it. So this month is Insurance Careers Month, and so we thought it would be really, really appropriate to speak to the two people here at ALPS, who really make sure that people can have careers at ALPS and bring us new talent, and really keep the lights on and run all the things. So I'm going to be talking to Liesel Brink and Amber Kuhlman. Kuhlman.  Sorry, Amber. So Liesel, do you want to start by introducing yourself, telling us a bit about who you are, what you do here at ALPS?  Liesel Brink: Sure. Thanks so much, Rio. This is an exciting opportunity. So I am your manager of HR and payroll coordinator here at ALPS Insurance. Do everything from hiring, recruiting, all the way to payroll.  Not to take any of this under from Amber, I can't do it all on my own. I've been with ALPS for, it's going on nine years, and yeah, been a great time so far.  Rio Peterson: Awesome. How about you, Amber? Tell us a little bit about yourself.  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. So I'm Amber. I'm the HR generalist here at ALPS Insurance. I've been here a little about year and a half now, but in my role, I focus more on the onboarding, recruiting side of things, but I also participate and help out all things wellness with our employees, so that's great.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, that's right. You kind of run things on our Employee Wellness program, which I will speak from experience, is an incredible program and definitely a major perk of working here. So thank you both for all your work and for putting that together for us. It's really fantastic. So we're kind of taking some time to explore careers in insurance this month.  I don't think necessarily, an industry that a lot of people wake up when they're like five or six, and they're like, "Ah, I want to work in insurance," but so I think it's really important that we can take some time and kind of explore what we do and all of the incredible kind of opportunities and possibilities that exist when you do choose to pursue a career in insurance. So I'm really curious to find out kind of from both of you like, "What was your life before ALPS? What did you do? What was your world before that?"  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah, I can start off. It definitely wasn't insurance. This is my first job in insurance, but prior to coming onto ALPS, I actually came from retail sales, so very different. It's a great learning opportunity, working with individuals, helping them find what they need, but definitely enjoy the insurance side a lot more. Love the stability within insurance.  Everyone needs it for a variety of things, whether it's car insurance or attorney's liability. So I love that aspect, and we have a lot of opportunities at ALPS as far as diversity within our department. So there's Liesel, myself and HR, but there's also business development folks in sales. We have our claims attorneys, account management, maintaining our policies, and everything else you may need from finance all the way to the C-suite, so it's great.  Rio Peterson: Yeah. Fantastic. And Liesel, what about you? Where were you at before you found your way to ALPS?  Liesel Brink: So before ALPS ... I mean, how much time do we have, Rio?  Rio Peterson: We've got a couple minutes.  Liesel Brink: Yeah. So I've been doing HR for about 25 years, and in the last, ooh, 12 mostly in HR, previous to that, nonprofit work, and many people know in a nonprofit, you become a jack-of-all-trades, right?  Rio Peterson: Absolutely.  Liesel Brink: You do a little bit here, do a little bit there, and that's where I started in human resources, HR, people operations. So for me, what really resonated were employee benefits, and so being able to talk with individuals about what truly they get with the benefit and having that understanding come to light is what fulfills me the most in my role. I not only worked in a nonprofit, but I too did some retail, but it wasn't retail-retail, it was concessions, some more food. Sorry about that, Amber. That was a really long stint.  And then, I also worked for a third-party administrator, which is insurance adjacent, and then from there, came to ALPS Insurance. I did do three years as a paralegal assistant. Learned a lot. Not sure I'd go back, but who knows? Someday, maybe.  Rio Peterson: You never know. You never know.  Liesel Brink: Exactly, exactly. But yeah, that's kind of my journey in the insurance world, mainly having the most excitement and fulfillment from the employee benefits side.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, got it. Fantastic. So how did you two find your way to ALPS? Was it sort of like serendipitous? Did you seek it out?  Yeah, I'd love to hear. Maybe Liesel, we'll start with you.  Liesel Brink: Yeah, sure. So I was actually headed back to the university for a degree in computer science, and I received a phone call from an acquaintance at a local company, and they shared with me, "Would I be interested in considering?" And at the time, ALPS wasn't sure what they were going to fill this position as. They needed a payroll person, and so I decided, "You know, I'll have that conversation with Chris Newbold," the Chief Operations Officer. "I'll just talk to him, and nothing's going to come of it."  And then, four interviews later, I was made an offer and decided, "Hey, why not try payroll?" And then, because of the previous experience, grew into the HR role.  Rio Peterson: Oh, fantastic. Fantastic. And Amber, what about you?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. So I kind of go back to the university as well, with my connection with ALPS. I took a human resources course, in which required you to network with a human resource professional.  Rio Peterson: I love it.  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. I got connected with Liesel for a group project, and then we worked on that together, and then I was interested in being an intern, because then, I was very interested in HR after that class and everything. So then I did a summer internship, and then Liesel realized, "Oh my gosh, this girl's so much help."  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Amber Kuhlman: So then, she was like, "I need someone full-time." So then, she posted an opening for a full-time role, and then now, here we are, so yeah.  Rio Peterson: Fantastic. So you both dazzled each other, and you were like, "This needs to continue. This is an excellent partnership."  Liesel Brink: Definitely.  Rio Peterson: That's fantastic. That's fantastic. So it sounds like we have a pretty good connection with the university. And I understand you two also just did some kind of speaking yesterday. You spoke with the HR Program, is that right?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah.  Rio Peterson: Yeah. Is that something we do quite a lot of? Is ALPS pretty involved in working with the university and connecting with students?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. I know Liesel has presented before. That was my first time presenting to a management course. However, we do often go to their career expos, so when we are hiring and recruiting, it's a great way to network with local folks and get connected with them, so it's great.  Rio Peterson: Got it. Fantastic. So let's maybe shift a little bit and talk about kind of ALPS in general. What are some different career paths that somebody could explore at ALPS? I know we've got quite a lot of things.  I know, Amber, you touched on them a little bit before. Maybe we can dig a little bit deeper into that.  Liesel Brink: Definitely. Amber, jump in when I'm off track. So for individuals within ALPS, when they come in and they've learned their job that they were hired into, we always encourage individuals to learn more about different departments, and we encourage them to do continuing education. If it's a department that they were hired into that doesn't require licensure, we encourage them to consider that. We encourage them to do continuing educations, whether it's a CPCU or an IEM, or any of the credentials that you can get in the insurance industry, we encourage them to do continuing education.  So when a position in another department might open, they can be considered, if it's something that truly interests them that they want to try out. We start individuals, a lot of times, in our lead generation specialist roles, and then from there, they learn a lot about marketing, and sales, and account management, and the insurance, like how insurance actually works in the lingo and the terminology. So it's a fantastic place for individuals to start, and we usually implement an interim program within that lead generation specialist role to get people considering like, "Could insurance be for me?" That is, to be honest, your opportunities are only limited by what you put on yourself. I know that's cliche. Sorry to be cliche, but-  Rio Peterson: I love it. I love it.  Liesel Brink: It's one of those things where truly, if you were in sales and you were interested in underwriting, we would love for you to pursue what that might look like.  Rio Peterson: Right.  Liesel Brink: We do not put limits on individuals. In fact, we encourage individuals to become more involved in improvements that we're making within our product, and then also, just be more helpful to individuals in different roles, cross-education, which is super helpful.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, fantastic. And then, I'm kind of wondering, so lead gen, that's obviously part of our sales team, right? And so what I'm hearing is that's a really good place for someone to start. If they don't know anything maybe about insurance, they don't really ... Maybe they're fresh at a university, maybe they're just trying to figure things out. That's a good place for them to start, and to kind of get a broader overview of the rest of the functions of the company.  Liesel Brink: Definitely. The lead generation specialist role, our client processing specialist role, that's an administration position. And not to change the topic, Rio, and I know we'll come back to this, but what I appreciate most about the insurance industry is that you can learn it on the job while doing it.  Rio Peterson: Yes.  Liesel Brink: You don't need a college degree. College degrees are great, but you don't need a college degree to be successful in the insurance industry.  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Liesel Brink: That is the biggest takeaway I try to leave with individuals that I talk with.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, that is absolutely fantastic. It's really good to know that as well, because I think that's something that can really intimidate a lot of folks like, "Maybe I don't have the right education, the right credentials," so it seems very accessible industry to get into. I know for myself, I mean, coming from the tech industry, I did not know anything about insurance, and let me tell you, I have learned all the things, and that is, I can definitely attest to what you just said, I have learned them all on the fly as well. So that's really important, I think, for people to keep in mind is that you can be taught. You can learn it and go forth and achieve big things.  Liesel Brink: Definitely.  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Liesel Brink: And if I may, I would share that it's not always easy to break into the insurance industry, however, if you align the skill sets that you already have with the skill sets that are necessary within the insurance industry, such as detail-orientedness, follow-through, dedication to the job at hand, if you align the skill set that you currently have with those needs, you can get into the insurance industry.  Rio Peterson: Got it. What would be some kind of obstacles or some things that would make it difficult for somebody to break into the industry, is maybe not knowing anyone who's already in the industry, just kind of not having any knowledge of it?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah, I-  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. I would say not having the knowledge. I don't think, especially coming from the university, they don't really say push insurance or mention it, really, as a career path. That would be a good one. So I would think the biggest obstacle would, for sure be just not knowing it's out there and kind of where you can go from there, for sure.  Rio Peterson: And it's kind of surprising to me that they don't push that or even recommend it, because to me, insurance is pretty good industry. It's pretty fail-safe, like recession-proof when times are tough, everybody gets insurance. Everyone needs insurance, like it's really-  Amber Kuhlman: I think there's a misconception with insurance, that it's all sales.  Rio Peterson: Yes.  Amber Kuhlman: So that's another one, I mean, but realizing there's office positions as well, like what Liesel and I do, HR within insurance, or finance, or marketing.  Rio Peterson: Right.  Amber Kuhlman: It's all needed, so yeah.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, claims, we hire lots of attorneys as well, and so yeah, there's lots of different options out there, absolutely. So what would you suggest maybe for someone who was looking to get into insurance, like say they were like, "That's the thing I want to do. I want to find out. I want to break into that industry."  What would be a good way? I know, Liesel, you mentioned kind of aligning the skill set you already have. Would you recommend maybe reaching out to recruiters or HR staff such as yourself, people, operations, et cetera?  Liesel Brink: So that's a great question, because different individuals, like the hiring teams, different companies think of things differently.  Rio Peterson: Right.  Liesel Brink: For me, I would be happy for anyone to connect with me on LinkedIn. That is a fantastic way to start your network. You can connect with one individual, and then from there, you actually can learn more about other individuals within the industry. They post fantastic things from, I believe it's in invest.org, and how you can use the skills that you already have in the insurance industry. Networking outside of the computer, of the internet, it was also very helpful.  Rio Peterson: Right.  Liesel Brink: I know once in a while, we go to our business after hours for the chamber, and there are a variety of different industries, industry specific organizations that you can connect with, especially in more urban areas, so that would be a consideration. Amber, what am I missing? I know a lot, so ...  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. I mean, I would say, just kind of going back to the university, connecting with their resources. Often, nearby universities have a lot of connections with surrounding companies, and who knows, they might be an insurance company, so ...  Rio Peterson: Yeah, absolutely. And I think you both mentioned the career, the job fairs as well. It's probably a good place to make some connections. Fantastic. I know for myself, I also knew someone who worked at ALPS, and was able to make the move that way, so definitely a lot to be said for putting yourself out there and meeting people and making those connections.  So let's kind of shift a bit back to you two, and tell me a little bit of like, "What are some of the things you like best about your roles, and maybe also working at ALPS specifically?" Amber, you want to start?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah, I can start.  Rio Peterson: So I'm going to put you on the screen.  Amber Kuhlman: No, that's okay. Some things about my role that I like is really focused on the wellness side initiative that we strive for. As far as work-life balance or wellness program, really, making it a place that people want to come to and enjoy working with their fellow coworkers is kind of, yeah, a big part of it, for me.  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Liesel Brink: Definitely, Amber. The people are great to work with, what continues for me to bring me back every day, but also, for me, the type of work that I get to do, it's never the same thing every day. The process might be the same, but the individuals are different, the circumstances are different, and so that truly is what the variety is what I enjoy the most as far as human resources and specifically ALPS.  Rio Peterson: Got it. Fantastic. So talking a little bit about the wellness program, was that in place? I know, Amber, you've been here about a year and a half, but, Liesel, was that in place when you started at ALPS?  Liesel Brink: So when I started back in 2015, it was not in place. We implemented little things here and there. At that time, I believe it was once a year, we tried to do something fun, and then it went to a quarter. Every quarter, we tried to do something, and then we aligned with a tech company, and then they offered physical, mental, emotional, and then also financial wellness options, and so that kind of started us off. I believe that was in 2017, and then the tech company decided that it wasn't what they wanted to focus on, and so we then went to a homegrown kind of wellness program. That is what Amber has definitely made her own over the last year and a half, so ...  Rio Peterson: Yeah, fantastic. Amber, do you want to tell us a little bit more about the program, kind of what kinds of benefits we offer, kind of how you come up with all these awesome ideas, because I know there's always something great going on in that program?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah, yeah. I get my awesome ideas from all the subscriptions I have. I will say, all the wellness networks, for sure.  Rio Peterson: Awesome.  Amber Kuhlman: Awesome. Can't take credit for them all, but no, it's great. I love planning. I try and do a monthly highlighted activity that focuses on kind of those four functions that Liesel touched on, financial, mental, emotional, and physical, so I really try to get those all in the mix. They're all equally important.  So each quarter, I focus on one of those, and we award our employees for staying healthy in many different ways, so there is an incentive a little bit there, but they get gift cards. It's a point-based system. They get gift cards in PTO quarterly, so there's that, but it's always really nice when we hear the feedback from employees that stop by and really enjoyed a walking challenge that we had going, or earlier last summer, we did a stair challenge, and seeing everyone come up the stairs as opposed to the elevator was great. And yeah, I love seeing that, so it's good.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, it's fantastic, and it seems like that's something I noticed right from the get-go when I started at ALPS. Everyone's very engaged with the wellness program. It's a very big hit, and just the benefits offered in it are really fantastic and very thorough. It's definitely another benefit to working at ALPS. Just putting it out there if anyone seconds, so ...  Liesel Brink: But if I may, one of the important wellness aspects I find too, is the financial wellness that we focus on.  Rio Peterson: Yes.  Liesel Brink: We've partnered with a fantastic company, Best Money Moves out of Illinois with Ilyce Glink. She is the CEO and founder. They have come up with some fantastic opportunities for employees to learn more about how to save. They do monthly webinars. We've learned to, over the years, that if you help individuals understand their financials, that it could lead to less stress within the employee population. So I just want to do a shout-out to Amber for continuing that program with them because it's definitely very helpful.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, absolutely. And financial wellness tends to be something that isn't normally included in wellness, but you're so right, it is really deeply connected to a lot of the stress people experience, because financial literacy is something that we're not really taught in schools in any capacity, so it's really, really important to be able to provide that peace of mind and those tools to everyone. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.  Liesel Brink: One of the other benefits that we've come up with, well, that most companies provide is the Employee Assistance program, where individuals have access to talk to professionals for personal or professional reasons. If things are going on or they want to bounce ideas off of someone, that's not their supervisor or their family, we offer an Employee Assistance program that has an in-network list of providers that we can go to for free visits, but we've also implemented a reimbursement if our employees want to go to out-of-network providers, and that was a huge, huge implementation last year. Something brand new that we hadn't heard a lot of companies doing, so we're like, "Let's try it," and it seems to be going well, so ...  Rio Peterson: Fantastic, and you've gotten ... I'm guessing you've heard some good feedback about that program? Yeah.  Liesel Brink: So we've heard a little feedback, right? It's an anonymous program, so it's one of those things where we do get some numbers about, like if they have an intake, but we get to know other information other than that. So it's great that we are giving utilization. We have, I believe, 13% utilization rate, Amber, where the national is four to six usually.  Rio Peterson: Whoo, that's fantastic. Love that people are taking care of themselves and that they're able to do so.  Liesel Brink: Exactly.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, it's fantastic. So what are some of the other kind of benefits and perks that we've got here, working at ALPS? I know there's quite a long list. Do you guys want to take us through a couple of them?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. One of my favorites, I'll highlight, is the Lifestyle Spending Account. Coming from a different company, that's a benefit I haven't had before. So the Lifestyle Spending Account, ALPS gives us funds monthly that we can utilize towards a variety of things, whether it's an event ticket to go to the movies, or maybe a concert. Pet insurance can go towards that, or just your typical gym membership, so it's great.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, my standing desk. Thank you guys.  Amber Kuhlman: Yes.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, I'm a big fan of that program too.  Liesel Brink: Nice. For me, we have an Adoption Assistance Program. We also offer discount interest rates through SoFi, and we provide a high-yield savings options through that SoFi option too. We do a 6% match at 100% for our 401(k), so that is something, and we're fully vested as of our first contribution. So for me, those things have been very beneficial for ALPS employees.  Rio Peterson: Yeah. And it is something that I've really noticed about ALPS too, is that as an organization, we are very invested in our employees, not just well, their employees, but in their futures as well, whether that is moving on to the next company or into retirement. I mean, I know that a large number of our staff has been at ALPS for 15, 20, 25 years, so it's really, I don't know, reassuring and nice to see that we are so invested in everyone regardless of where they're at in their career path. I don't think a lot of companies think about that, so ...  Liesel Brink: Yeah, Amber does a great-  Rio Peterson: It's [inaudible 00:27:46]-  Liesel Brink: Yeah. Amber does a great job with the training and development, and ensuring that our continuing education classes are getting credentialed for continuing education. It's one way we support our employees in licensure, and then we also encourage individuals and have supported them in earning their additional certifications of their choices.  Rio Peterson: And I think we do student loan assistance as well, don't we?  Liesel Brink: We do have a Student Loan Assistance program.  Rio Peterson: Yeah.  Liesel Brink: And we-  Rio Peterson: Then, we do all the things. There's too many things to list. We do everything.  Liesel Brink: I mean, we do employee photos, fun photos, so they're not the stuffy headshots, which is super fun. We have an employee that has a hobby to take photos, and they've been so kind to provide us with photos of employees, so that's super fun to do.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, and they're so well done too. They're really nicely shot. That's fantastic. So we've got just a couple more minutes here. I think, first of all, what are some of the roles that are currently open at ALPS, if anyone out there listening is interested in checking us out?  Amber Kuhlman: Yeah. I'll highlight the business development representative that we have open, specifically outbound. So we are looking for individual to come on and do sales. So you're interested in that, definitely connect with us on LinkedIn. It is also posted on LinkedIn, so check it out. But yeah, I'll let Liesel highlight the other one.  Liesel Brink: Yeah. We are looking for a claims attorney. This position does require an individual to have their Juris Doctorate, so that is an important aspect of this. We will train an individual and get them licensed as an adjuster. However, we do need them to have that Juris Doctorate. We do hope and ask that they've had five years of experience working in the field of law, because what they'll be doing is helping our insureds during their time of need when a claim actually happens.  So understanding a little bit about how things work in the practice of law is super helpful in this role. Happy to talk to someone about that. If they have more interest, they're welcome to reach out to us. I don't know if you want me to put my email, lbrink@alpsinsurance.com. Happy to have that conversation.  Yeah, but if someone already has previous claims experience, we'd love to have that talk too. So yeah, reach out. Yeah, or if you live in Montana or want to move to Montana, it's a great opportunity.  Rio Peterson: Yeah, Missoula is fantastic. It is a really fantastic spot. And so we've got, LinkedIn is a good place to reach out. We have a career section on the website, yup, so we can reach on your website.  Liesel Brink: Correct.  Rio Peterson: Can reach out to Liesel directly at lbrink@alpsinsurance.com. And yeah, we hope that you consider a career in insurance. It's a really fantastic industry, and I mean, I'm a little bit biased, but ALPS, in particular, is a pretty incredible place to work. So that's my two cents about the whole thing. Is there anything else?  Liesel Brink: We agree.  Amber Kuhlman: Yes.  Rio Peterson: Is there anything else you two would like to add before we sign off?  Amber Kuhlman: No. Thanks for tuning in.  Rio Peterson: Yeah. So well, thank you both for joining me. This has been fantastic. And for those of you listening, we will catch you next month for the next installment of In Brief. Again, I'm Rio Peterson, and thanks for tuning in.

Ilzes Lipskas sirdslieta ir dārzeņi, un to nav iespējams nepamanīt. Kopā ar vīru Juri un četriem bērniem viņi saimnieko bioloģiski sertificētā saimniecībā "Absolūts Ēd". Ilze pēc izglītības ir filozofs, Juris - ekonomists, bet praksē viņi apstrādā savu zemi, audzējot dārzeņus un zaļumus, kuriem jābūt ikviena cilvēka ēdienkartes pamatā. Paši audzē un paši arī piegādā - svaigu no dārza vai pārstrādātu pulveros un citādākos produktos līdz pasūtītāju durvīm.Abi ar Juri izgudro dažādus veidus, kā ierobežotos apstākļos savu produkciju uzglabāt un pārstrādāt, mijiedarbojoties ar dabas neparedzamajiem pārsteigumiem, lai ar veselīgu ēdienu dažādotu cilvēku ēdienkarti. Viņi nodrošina to slaveno dārzeņu varavīksni šķīvī, ko iesaka visdažādākie veselības speciālisti.Ilze ir ļoti aktīva sociālajos medijos.

Aktiera Kaspara Dumbura nesenākā kino loma ir filmā "Elpot zem ūdens". Pirms tās iznākšanas Kaspars man jautāja, vai varam Cilvēkjaudā aprunāties par atkarības slimību un viņa atveseļošanās pieredzi, kas varētu noderēt citiem (viņš piecus gadus vairs nelieto alkoholu). Kad satikāmies uz sarunas ierakstu, Kasparam pastāstīju, kādu ziņu pirms dažiem mēnešiem man atsūtīja Cilvēkjaudas fans, kurš ar mani padalījās, cik grūta ir viņa cīņa ar atkarībām. Ar Kasparu vienojāmies, ka šo sarunu veltām šim vīrietim, viņa mazajam bērnam un mīļotajai sievietei. Un, cerams, vēl daudziem, kuru dzīvi pasliktina atkarību slimība, kas cilvēkus nešķiro.Es cienu Kasparu par viņa atklātību, īstumu un tiešumu, lai viņa stāsts palīdzētu atgūt brīvību arī citiem. Paldies lieliskajam vīrietim, kurš man uzrakstīja, paldies lieliskajam vīrietim, kurš ar mani šajā intervijā sarunājās, paldies katram, kurš palīdzēs šai sarunai nonākt līdz cilvēkiem, kuriem tā var noderēt! Jūs katrs darāt šo pasauli labāku.Kaspars Dumburs ir teātra un kino aktieris. Viņš ir galvenās lomas atveidotājs Andreja Ēķa seriālā "Nebaidies ne no kā". Kasparu aizrauj arī mūzikas ierakstīšana. Te dažas lomas, kurās Kasparu šosezon var redzēt Dailes teātra izrādēs: Lāčplēsis - "Spīdolas nakts", Nātans - "Leopoldštate", Loma - "Kaukāziešu krīta aplis", Prokurors Jusefs Elfajumi izrādē "Pusnakts šovs ar Jūdu Iskariotu" un citās.

Jayson Street — Chief Adversarial Officer at Secure Yeti, a DEF CON Groups Global Ambassador, and a world-class awkward hugger Jayson Street, the dynamic Chief Adversarial Officer at Secure Yeti, has worn many masks throughout his life and career. He was once named a “World-Class Hacker” on the National Geographic series "Breakthrough Cyber-Terror," but he prefers the simpler title of Hacker, Helper, and Human. In this episode, Jayson joins Carlton Fields P.A.'s Jack Clabby and KnowBe4's VP of Remote Publishing Teams Kayley Melton to talk about his journey of self-discovery that led him from being an award-winning janitor at McDonald's to one of the world's most infamous ethical hackers. From his early childhood, Jayson has embraced hacking as a way of life, embodying the spirit of relentless exploration, innovation, and resilience. Like our favorite co-host Kayley, Jayson uncovered a new layer of his identity in his adulthood when he discovered that he is neurodivergent. He dives deep into how this new understanding altered his perception of himself, allowed him to embrace the various “masks” he wears throughout life, and discovered that his unique mind is actually his superpower. He also shares extraordinary stories of how he gained entry into some of the hardest-to-access cyber targets in the world. To start off the show, Jack and Kayley talk about the celebrity that's topping the Hacker Celebrity Hot List as the celeb whose name is used most by cybercriminals when creating online scams.

Jānis Grants ir sporta un klīniskais psihologs, psiholoģijas zinātnes doktors, profesors, lektors, KBT speciālists, studentu mīlēts pasniedzējs, speciālists ar ilggadēju pieredzi cilvēku domāšanas un labsajūtas jautājumos.Sarunas sākumā viņam jautāju, kas dzīves gaitā notiek ar cilvēka prieku sportot un stresa ietekmi uz sportistiem. Jautāju, ko darīt, lai cilvēkiem izdotos mazināt savu trauksmi un stresu, kas saistīti ar vēlmi sasniegt augstus rezultātus un bailēm no tā, ka varētu neizdoties. Pēc tam mēs runājām par cilvēka attieksmi pret sevi, par perfekcionsimu un ko darīt ar ārēju un iekšēju kritiku.Tā ir saruna, pie kuras savās domās un izvēlēs atgriežos bieži. Saruna noderēs ne tikai sportotājiem, bet jebkuram cilvēkam, kuram interesē justies labāk un dzīvot pilnvērtīgāk. Ja vēlies apgūt vairāk par sporta psiholoģijas tēmu, tad iesaku noklausīties kādu no Jāņa Granta lekcijām Sporta izglītības aģentūrā.Vairāk informācijas atradīsi sarunas lapā.SARUNAS PIETURPUNKTI:3:18 Kā atšķiras psiholoģijas izglītība Latvijā un Amerikā12:31 Kāpēc pirms pusaudžu vecuma ir lietderīgi pamēģināt dažādus sporta veidus16:40 Kādi ir iemesli, kādēļ pusaudži zaudē interesi par sportu20:15 Kā psiholoģijā darbojas pozitīvais pastiprinātājs23:33 Kas ietekmē ticību sev un galvenās pamatpārliecības31:25 Latvieši un perfekcionisms.

Žurnāliste Inita Sila daudziem ir pazīstama kā ilggadīga žurnāla "Ieva" galvenā redaktore, nesen - žurnāla "Kā būt laimīgai" galvenā redaktore. Inita ir ne tikai žurnāliste, bet arī autore grāmatām "100 vēstules sievietei" un "Tango ar diviem misteriem V". Nesenākā no tām ir Initas stāsts par pieredzi, pašai saskaroties ar vēža diagnozi. Tagad viņa ir arī "Hospiss LV" pārstāve .Šogad sarunu festivālā "Lampa" Inita vadīja "Nāves kafejnīcas" sarunu "Turies draudziņ". Tā ir gaiša saruna, jo visi tās dalībnieki apliecina, ka tieši vēža diagnoze, savas mirstības apzināšanās, viņiem likusi vēl vairāk novērtēt savu dzīvi. Sarunas ieraksts var iedvesmot tās klausītāju dzīvot pilnasinīgi arī bez diagnozes.Kad Initai tagad jautā, ko viņa dara, viņa atbild: "Dzīvoju." Es ļoti novērtēju viņas atklātību, daloties ne tikai ar savas dzīves pieredzi, bet arī ar idejām, ko Inita ir apguvusi pilnvērtīgākai dzīvošanai.Vairāk informācijas sarunas lapā.SARUNAS PIETURPUNKTI:5:00 Kā atšķiras divas Initas Silas dzīves – viena līdz četrdesmit gadu krīzei, otra pēc tās9:29 “Meklējot savu sapņu profesiju, tev ir jāatceras bērnība, pirmais, ko tu gribēji”11:12 Ar kādu mērķi Inita šobrīd strādā labdarības organizācijā “Hospiss LV”12:39 Kas ir nāves dūla un kādēļ šāds pakalpojums ir nepieciešams22:03 “Dzirde ir pēdējā no maņām, ko cilvēks zaudē pirms nomiršanas”25:21 Kas ir veltīgā ārstēšana un kādas likumu izmaiņas ir plānotas Latvijā31:02 Kā beigt baidīties un sākt baudīt dzīvi36:21 Vai menopauze spēj laupīt dzīvesprieku41:53 “Atļaujies būt nepareiza”43:24 Iemācīties baudīt dzīvi bez alkohola57:49 Triki, kā ierobežot saldumu ēšanu1:00:18 Vērtīgs pieredzes stāsts par anoreksiju ģimenē1:09:05 Jautājums, kuru sev ik pa laikam ir izdevīgi uzdot1:11:15 Prakses, ko Inita Sila piekopj ik dienas1:20:48 “Nerunājot nekas nemainās.

eCoustics Senior Headphone Editor W. Jennings recently sat down with Vincent Liu, Ultimate Ears Pro's Head of Product & Operations for a conversation about the new Premier 21-driver IEM. This discussion touches on the impacts of the pandemic on Ultimate Ears Pro and how that provided opportunities to rethink some design elements of existing models as well as complete the development and testing of the new Premier.Also discussed in this conversation is UE Pro's dedication to performing artists, their design philosophy and about where the new Premier's signature fits into the product line. Many expected the Premier to be a UE18 Pro taken to the next level but the signatures are different and the two in-ears are aimed at different market segments. Finally, there was talk about some of the things that set Ultimate Ears Pro apart from other in-ear manufactures and where Vincent sees the company heading next.Click to learn more about Ultimate Ears UE PremierThank you to our sponsors SVS & Q Acoustics for supporting our HI-FI messaging.Credits:• Original intro music by The Arc of All. https://www.sourceoflightandpower.com• Voice Over Provided by Todd Harrell of SSP Unlimited. https://sspunlimited.com• Production by Mitch Anderson, Black Circle Studios. https://blackcircleradio.comKeep up-to-date with all the latest Hi-Fi, Headphone, Home Theater and Music news by visiting:https://www.ecoustics.com#earphones #earbuds #headphones #inearheadphones #wirelessearphones #ultimateears #inearmonitor #iems #uepro #premier #iem #livesound #hifi #ecoustics

A lot of bands ask me about setting up a basic in-ear monitoring rig so they can hear themselves better, and use… shhh… come closer. Backing tracks (collective gasp). Here's the thing, even though holier-than-thou amateur musicians scoff at backtracking elements of a live set, when done with taste backing tracks can add impact and power to your set, without making a show “less live”! The key is not to replace what's happening on the stage, but to supplement it. For example you can add synths, piano, strings, or some extra percussion elements, all without hiring an extra member of the band (or trying to get your drummer to grow a third arm). Listen now to learn more about IEM setups and backtracking so you can make your stage show more exciting for your fans! What you'll learn: How you can add extra production elements to your set without breaking the bankWhat's needed for basic backing track usageWhy it isn't “cheating” to use backtracks in your live shotA proper mix for backing tracksWhat tools my band, NRVS, uses for backing tracksA crash course for in ear monitoringWhy extra production elements are important (and fun!) for your band For full show notes, visit https://bandhive.rocks/199

On episode one hundred and eight or Holy Ghost Notes, Matt is only days away from having a new baby girl as Tim wraps up “back to school week” and shares some exciting news. The guys talk about using earplugs for sleeping and talk a little about the IEM company, Ultimate Ears, and their experience with both the products and the company. After a longer than average intro, they head into their drum topic; touching on the importance of spending time watching (or observing) how other drummers play and how it can benefit your own drumming in many ways. Matt talks about staying home from August Burns Red's Australian tour which inspires the topic of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Through many a divergence from the root topic, in typical fashion, they uncover many parallels that round out the discussion.

Mike Dias the executive director for the In-Ear Monitor International Trade Organization ( IEMITO) and the vice president of sales for Earthworks Audio joins us on episode 213 to talk about the story and history of in-ear monitors. While this is not a complete breakdown of the full history of IEM's, Mike sets the table for the plotline of the documentary he is working on. Weaving together the storylines of the influence and impact that everyone from musicians, audio engineers, manufacturers, and consumers have played into where we are today. They discuss the new frontier of immersive mixing and the impact it may have, along with some networking advice and more.Mike Dias, known throughout the industry as an expert on in-ear monitors, created the In-Ear Monitor International Trade Organization in an effort to bring together in-ear manufacturers, dealers, suppliers, sound engineers and end-users. The goal of the organization is to be a repository of unbiased information and to serve as a directory for all members while promoting the uses and benefits of in-ear monitors.As a professional in the Pro-Audio/Consumer Electronics space for nearly 20 years, Mike joined Ultimate Ears Pro in 2004 as Director of Marketing and Communications. He learned the industry while working for Jerry Harvey in the very early days of Ultimate Ears. He helped launch the original and successful super.fi universal in-ear lines when less than 1% of retail headphone sales were over the $79 price point. He later became global Sales & Marketing Director for Logitech, the parent company of Ultimate Ears.When he is not advocating for in-ear monitor use, Mike is an in-demand speaker who talks about customer relationship management philosophies and optimizing sales processes. His favorite topics are Why Nobody Likes Networking and What Entertainers Can Teach Executives.Additional info and links discussed on the episode :Here's more about IEMITOAnd here's more on Networking - Mike Dias personal site Networking from 6 Feet Sounding Board Series  Industry talks Mike Dias gave on Networking.  3-part series for AES NAMM on the Ideas Center Stage.Join our Discord Server and our Facebook Group, and Follow us on InstagramPlease check out and support The Roadie Clinic, Their mission is simple.

When it comes to esports, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is one of the leaders. In fact, Counter-Strike has been one of the mainstay first-person-shooter drivers since the birth of esports. This is what makes the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas tournaments all the more interesting and fulfilling at Dreamhack Dallas 2023. At the convention, we spoke with Sean Clark,  Senior Director of the Counter-Strike ecosystem at ESL Faceit Group (EFG), about the longevity of Counter-Strike, the importance esports has in Dallas, IEM's history, and how a player can have a career in esports beyond the competition.

This week's episode discusses the Gateway Process outlined in recently declassified (2003) CIA Documents regarding Project Stargate. The Gateway Process attempts to explain supernatural phenomena such as astral projection, out-of-body experiences, higher levels of consciousness, reality shifting, and many other strange supernatural things achieved through meditation through the lens of science as we know it today. This leads us into a discussion about the 3 most impactful life-changing meditation experiences that I have had in my life and about meditation in general and the positive impacts it has on your body and mind.    Subscribe and leave a 5-star review! ----more---- Our website https://redpillrevolution.co/    Protect your family and support the Red Pill Revolution Podcast with Affordable Life Insurance.

Hello and welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you very much for listening today. This is episode number 46 of the Red Pill Revolution podcast, and we are going to have a very intriguing conversation. This one we're gonna be touching on. It was something we've kind of touched on before, but we didn't dive into this specific topic, this deep. So what we're gonna be discussing is the CIA documents surrounding the gateway process. Okay, so we'll touch on that. We'll talk a little bit about some of my experiences with meditation, things like kini yoga, some of the interesting stories that I have surrounding that. Then we'll dive a little bit further into some of those other types of meditation, which I find to be really interesting, um, from that kind of. Uh, Western, or I'm sorry, Eastern philosophy and, and those types of things. So the gate, it all starts with the gateway process, though , if you've never heard of the gateway process, it's a unbelievable, unbelievably interesting document that came from the CIA that was released in 2003 surrounding. Some of the most interesting topics that you've ever heard of in your life. Everything from spirit channeling divination to extra sensory perception, to, uh, astrol projection, to, uh, you know, um, basically all of these, you know, out body experiences, states of altered consciousness. And this was all done under the US Army. In the cia. Okay? Um, this US Army's actually the one that released the document. So, um, we will go ahead and jump into it. But before that, , before that, I need you to do one thing for me, and that is just go ahead and hit that little button on your phone. It takes two seconds on your part. It means the world to me. And you already know which button I'm talking about. It starts with a sub and ends with a scribe. All right? That's what I got for you. If you are on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, go ahead and hit that five star review button. If you do not already, follow me on all of these social media channels at Red Pill Revolt, go find me, follow me. You know the deal. All right? And if you haven't hit the subscribe button, just do it. You'll feel better about it this whole time. All right? Gives you a little bit of good karma. All right, speaking of Karma , we have some very interesting conversations today. Um, so we will go ahead and jump into it right now. All right. I don't know about you, but that introduction just gets me a hype for some reason. , if you can't see it, um, even if you're watching this on YouTube, but I'm in the background mouthing it. Getting excited over here. Um, but let's dive into it. The CIA documents about the Gate Way process. All right. Now this gets so deep, it might be hard to follow, but I found some really good engaging articles that take, uh, this wealth of information that's a 26 page document. And 26 pages doesn't seem that deep. Even in each individual. There's like two to three paragraphs on each of the individual things that they're discussing here. Um, but I found a really good way to break it down for you guys, and here it is. In 1945, the United States launched a scientific intelligence initiative titled Operation Stargate. The objective was to recover intelligence on scientific and military, uh, projects conducted under the third, right? What they found was something much stranger. A cash of documents related to, um, which was a scientific academy, and, and think, take indicated a division that was so, basically it was like the Nazi regime had this scientific think take that was dedicated to the study of cult sciences. The extensive research was being conducted on sensory perception, spirit channeling divination in other forms of anomalous phenomenon. The paranormal was being scientifically explored, but from what purpose is unclear. After uncovering these documents, they began to investigate, uh, into altered consciousness and the supernatural, and they continued these investigations for decades. Some of these projects like MK Ultra have been widely reported. Others, not so much. Some have re received little to no exposure since declassification. That one report titled The Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process went largely unexamined until recently it was declassified in 2003 by the US Army. In a detail, a scientific technique developed by the Monroe Institute to facilitate astro projection in out body experiences and states of altered Consci. Hmm. Now, if you don't know, we touched on this topic, um, when we talked about the Project Stargate. So there's a whole episode that we did on Project Stargate and Project Stargate was the, uh, CIA's initiative to basically combat and re uh, look into what the Nazi regime did by looking into the astro projections. And so the idea was that they would take people with high levels of psychic energy, right? Or self proclaimed high levels of psychic energy. And if you haven't watched that episode, it's wild, right? We watch videos of them literally putting ping pong balls on people's faces so that they have this like sensory deprivation in order to do these. And there's a movie that's loosely based off of this, which is called The Men Who Stare at Goats. Um, I guess it's a ho movie, so really no reason to watch it . But, but it's interesting that there's a movie nonetheless. So what, what that, uh, Project Stargate was, the whole idea behind that was that they were coming out with a project to basically learn how to spy on other military operations without ever having to leave a single room or do any reconnaissance at all. All of this was going to be done through some type of psychic action, and in this case it was called Astro Projection. And if you don't know what astro projection is, Astro projection is the idea. It's, it's a form of transcendental meditation, which transcendental meditation is something that we'll dive into in a little bit. But it's basically, you know, getting into a deeply meditative.  expanding and, and, and taking your consciousness and looking to expand it from outside of your body. And within that you can start to project that to different areas of, of earth and space and time, uh, uh, and timelines, right? It's, it's really wild the things that they did within Project Stargate. There was even one instance during Project Stargate where they had an individual who was projecting their consciousness into a pyramid on, I believe it was like a pyramid on Mars, where they spoke to extraterrestrial entities who were trapped there. And in trying to ask them for help on a different, Like in, in a different time than today, like far, far in the past. It's so crazy. And you can find all these documents, go to cia.gov, um, or, or go to Google and type in CIA reading room and there's all of these documents and just look up Project Stargate. And there's so much shit that you can dive into a project Stargate is so crazy. And this is the document that we're gonna discuss today is a single document of that project. Okay? Now, one way that they went about that project was something that was called Hemi Sync. In Hemi Sync was an initiative that they were trying to basically figure out how to best prime the body to do this astro projection. And, and the, the project Stargate. Or, I'm sorry, the breakdown of the gateway process was an, an, an attempt to explain exactly what was happening, how it was happening, what was happening in the brain, how this was even possible from a, uh, like a worldly perspective. You know, what was going on to make this possible. Okay. Um, so pretty wild stuff. And with that, let's dive a little bit further. It says that some of the projects like MK Ultra have been widely reported on, however, some have received little no exposure since declassification. Right? We talked about that with the US Army coming out with this document in 2003. Um, and it detailed a scientific technique developed by the Monroe Institute to facilitate astro projection out of body experiences in states of altered consciousness. The purpose was to create individuals who could transcend space and time so that they could achieve this through the use of the gateway tapes. Now, the gateway tapes are literally available on Amazon, right? Now it's $190 for the gateway tape. So if you're that interested in this, there's two copies left , I hope after this show there's a couple less. If that looks at zero by the time that this gets released and you guys listen to it, that's pretty awesome. Um, but anyways, you can also find it on YouTube, so don't, maybe don't spend your money . Um, the gateway tapes, I'm pretty sure beginning to end are all on YouTube. And so the Robert Monroe was the one who spearheaded this operation and, and tried to break down what was actually happening during this astro projection and how to actually accomplish this. All right. So Robert Monroe was a radio broadcasting executive in the early 1950s. He formed Ram Enterprises, which was a corporation that produced network radio programs. However, Monroe was interested in exploring how sound frequencies can impact the human mind. He was obsessed with discovering methods of how to, it's called like hypo, um, hypno emia. And it's basically learning how to learn from audio tapes while you're sleeping. Okay? Think of like listening to, you know, uh, pimsler Spanish tapes. Uh, and then eventually after so many weeks of listening to this in your sleep, you wake up and all of a sudden you're fluent in Spanish. That that was kind of his idea. it says that Monroe experimented with frequencies to enhance memory and learning for years. However, in the 1950s, he got more than he bargained for. During one of his experiences in experiments, he experienced paralysis, bodily vibrations and bright lights until he seemingly exited his body floating somewhere near the ceiling. This experience was later publicized in articles and books, and it helped popularize, popularize the term out of body experience or obe. He was frightened, but also intrigued, and he began to pursue this experience, describing it as proof of the spiritual world. As Ram Enterprises grew beyond radio production, they rebranded as Monroe Industry and they developed a research division named the Monroe Institute. There they studied the impact of sound frequencies and patterns on human consciousness. Monroe discovered that the human brain was subject to a frequency following response, which means brainwaves would naturally adapt to mimic the audio frequencies played. However many known brainwave patterns like beta, theta and delta occur at frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear. To circumvent this limitation, Monroe would play different frequencies to the left and the right ears, which would create a beat frequency. A beat frequency is simply the difference between the two played frequencies. For example, if 210 frequencies hurts or hurts, frequency was played in one ear in 220 and the other, it would generate a beat frequency of 10 hertz invoking psychological and mental states that are related to those brave brain wave frequencies. This process would synchronize the amplitude and frequency of brainwaves between both hemispheres. This synchronization is also called Hemi, and it rarely occurs in natural circumstances. Monroe claims that the gateway process could lead to prolonged states of Hemi sync, and he could stimulate states of consciousness by forcing the brain to emulate these frequencies. So, Summarization. He would put headphones on and he would play these certain frequencies. If you've ever done like transcendental meditations or guided meditations, sometimes in order like kini, there's, there's sometimes in the background you'll hear this. Uh, you know, it's like this weird kind of underlying sound and, and, and you can even look up certain, uh, uh, transcendental meditations or guided meditations that have certain frequencies, um, which the CIA has outlined as allowing you to do these out body experiences, Right? So, so what he did is he started the experiments that kind of brought to light and scientifically explained what's happening in these instances. And it goes on to say that by evoking delta brainwaves in one to four hertz range, he could elicit states of meditation or relaxation. Early research at the Monroe Institute suggested that the gateway process had many practical applications including stress relief, pain, anesthetic. Accelerated learning and more. However, it would only later be applied in an attempt to create psychic soldiers under the guidance of the US military military. In 1983, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne in McDonald's submitted a classified report titled, In Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process, He was tasked with exploring astro projection and not body experiences and how the gateway process might be used to train soldiers for intelligence gathering purposes. The subject matter can be difficult to understand, but the following is a synopsis of McDonald's report. Aware that this is his investigation was skirting the supernatural McDonald's thought to ground his analysis in scientific study, he connected his reports to the following branches of study, including biomedicine to re, to determine the physical processes and effects that occurred during the gateway processes, including quantum mechanics and attempt to explain the interplay between consciousness in the physical world. Theoretical physics to understand the physical world that would be transcended and Newton's laws of physics to ground his findings and dispel any paranormal connotations. The gateway process was described as a training system designed to bring enhanced strength and focus into am, uh, to the amplitude and frequency of brainwaves output between the left and the right hemisphere, so as to alter consciousness, moving it outside of the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space. And that draws back to how this was actually applied in Project Stargate, which is wild, which is what we talked about a little bit earlier. And all of this sounds so crazy, but the fact that the CIA dumped. Millions of dollars and manpower into this and, and actually had many, many successful missions, including finding a specific warship in the ocean as a result of one person's, uh, you know, astro projections. Now it goes on to say that, and through these interactions, all energy fields became imprinted and then encoded with inform. Um, it says to understand how human consciousness could escape the physical body. McDonald asserted that the world is a hologram, a theory which is shared by even current day physicists all matter consists of atoms, small nucleic, and are surrounded by large electron energy fields. The energy fields between all matter coexist and interact. And through these interactions, all energy fields become imprinted and encoded with information. Furthermore, complex principles and holographic theory suggests that this imprinting can occur between, and not only is there an interconnectedness between everything we know, but perhaps there is information in our world about dimensions that we have yet to even discover. The holographic theory is further complicated by interaction with human consciousness. We do not passively perceive the world, but through perception, we change it through free will. We can selectively perceive and influence the holographic universe. Similar to popular new age ideas like the Secret in the law of attraction. Now, if you don't know what the secret or the Law of Attraction are, I'm happy to explain. I was given a book by my father, um, great man, and, uh, it was called The Laws of Success. And I was given this book. It was written by Napoleon Hill, and Napoleon Hill is kind of the grandfather of all, uh, you know, motivational speaking today. All, all of the books that you see on, you know, how to, uh, self-improvement basically is a sub chapter of information or stems from a, you know, a certain paragraph even from this book called The Laws of Success and The Laws of Success was Later to Condense, because I have it right here actually. Napoleon Hills Law of Success. All right, here's the book. It is, um, revised and updated by Napoleon Hill, the 21st Century edition, and it is approximately 890 pages. 890 pages. And in this book he described several, several things, including a lot of what this even talks about prior to this actually happening. Right. Um, so. Um, what I see to be interesting about this is, is it talks about the secret. It talks about the law of attraction. It talks about, you know, what, what turned into many of the modern day new age ideas. And if you don't know what the secret is about or what the law of attraction is, it's basically, uh, interplaying the idea. And, and it gets pretty deep if, if you know, how the, the, where our science is going today, which makes it even more interesting. But the principle of the law of attraction is basically that through sheer thought, you can manifest the world, the life, the outcomes that you want in life. Now, I think there's two specific interesting ways to talk about that. The first one being that even if it doesn't have to do with the frequencies of the world, which is, you know, what, uh, is asserted by Napoleon Hill in this book and even asserted through this CIA document. Um, but even if it's not that right, I guess let's, let's talk on that. The idea is that the, the, the world is vibrations, right? And if you understand how science works, and I don't claim to be a scientist, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt. But from my understanding, the idea is that everything is movement. Every molecule, every molecule is shaking, right? There's movement happening all around this at all times. The words that you're hearing from me right now are simply vibrations, right? And those vibrations stem from the vibrations that are happening within my own brain, which is causing, you know, this activity that's coming up with thoughts, which is then coming out verbally, which you're hearing through the vibrational frequencies, right? And that includes the light that's, you know, reflecting off of the walls that's giving color. Everything in this universe stems from some type of, uh, you know, movement or frequency as a result. So the idea is that there's, you know, if, if the way that I look at it now, knowing what we know about, you know, where science is going with the idea of multiverses, is that if you align with a certain frequency, right? Even when you're not speaking, even just your thoughts are emitting frequencies into the world and the world picks up on those, whether it's, you know, what you, whether you want to call it God, whether you wanna call it the universe, whatever you want to call it, there is something greater than us that is taking in those vibrational frequencies. And if you put things out enough, the world will start to align with your thoughts, right? And this comes from, you know, whether or not it's, it's this new wave idea of science or whether it's even to me, even if it's not, that, it may even just have to be the trickling down of the conscious into the subconscious, right? If I wake up and tell myself every day, then I'm gonna be a millionaire, right? Let's do the most common one that you'll probably see when people do the secret, right? I'm gonna have all the money in the world. Right. If you just wake up every day and you recite that, and you recite that, and you recite that, and you recite that, right, I'm gonna have a million dollars by this day. I'm gonna have a million dollars by this day. Just specifically by doing that, you are pulling your, you, you are positioning your subconscious in the way that that is what's at the forefront of your mind, even if you're not thinking about it, right? So you start to pick up on cues around you that may get you closer to that goal, right? Because if your brain, if every day that you woke up, you said, I'm hungry, I need to find. , I'm hungry. I need to find food. Right? Your brain's gonna go, Oh, he's hungry. He needs to find food. And so your particular activating system is gonna start to pick up on subtle cues around you, right? That could potentially mean I'm gonna eat, right? So whether it's has to do with, you know, aligning with the proper multiverse, right, or, or universe. Um, and that's an even deeper conversation, but you know, through the manifestation of your own thoughts or whether it just specifically has to do with you saying something enough to where it trickles into your subconscious. I wholeheartedly believe that there is one shape or another in one shape or another. You can frame the universe around you specifically through.  thoughts. You know, it's a, a, a really incredible quote is, you know, if you knew the power of your thoughts, you would never have another negative thought in your life, right? If you knew how powerful each individual thought that went through your brain was, you would never think anything that would position you in a way to receive back any negativity. Right? And we're getting a little in the woods with this, but I think it's important to understand this manifestation idea because it comes up later in these documents where it talks about those frequencies. The frequencies that you, you start to align with the, the, the vibrational waves that you're putting out into the universe is what's going to come back to you in one way, shape, or another. Let's go ahead and continue this document. Human beings can manifest certain realities through imagination and willpower. Lastly, McDonald speculates that human consciousness may be able to temporarily escape time and space utilizing the gateway tapes to accelerate brainwave frequencies. These brainwaves may break a physical limitation known as the plank distance. The plank distance is the smallest measurable distance in the physical, the peaks of accelerated brainwaves. And theoretically, the accompanying human consciousness would temporarily enter a sub planky universe. This primor primordial dimension of space predates are known universe, and it is not subject to the limitations of time in space. McDonald theorized that consciousness would blink into the sub planking space and return with knowledge that would otherwise be inaccess. It becomes possible to see how human consciousness brought to a sufficiently altered state could obtain information concerning the past, present, and future. The practice of using the gateway trait tapes is referred to as the gateway process before beginning. Subjects are instructed to visualize a box in place, any extraneous concerns inside of it. This is meant to help improve focus. Then they are instructed to meditate while humming a single tone. After sufficient preparation. The Hemi Sync frequencies are introduced, which is the tapes that have these frequencies, Those, um, you know, whatever that sounds like. It's only through exposure and diligent practice that subjects can reach the furthest possibilities of this practice. McDonald describes the following as possible outcomes of the gateway practice. Improved problem solving, solving by calling on a higher self, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. Um, patterning and projecting the will into the universal hologram in an attempt to manifest a new reality. Color breathing and energy bar tool techniques are meant to stimulate healing effects on the body through the use of visualization, out of body experiences allow individuals to exit their bodies and explore the physical world and beyond. Okay, now let me talk about one of those specific things that I just talked about, which is the improved problem solving by calling on a higher self. Now, I had an experience. Now I, I'm, I've meditated for a fairly decently long time in my life. I would say probably, I don't know, eight, eight to 10 years. I, I've, and even when I was younger, right, as like, In middle school, you know, I was watching, uh, of, you know, if there was YouTube back then, whatever, wherever I, I watched it , uh, videos about energy and, and, and kind of interested in the Eastern philosophies. And, um, so when I, when I've meditated in the past, I've done several different things, right? When, normally when you meditate, you go through a, a certain steps, right? The normal meditation techniques is, is basically taking something that's considered, you know, to, to take the words of Tim Ferris, which I found to be really powerful. And something that I talk about with my, my young daughter, pretty consistently is the idea of a monkey mind. So there's the idea of the monkey mind. And the monkey mind is the consistent flow of subconscious thoughts that are constantly buzzing through your brain at any given time of the day. Right? It's reminding you of that shit that you forgot to do, that you were supposed to do, that somebody might ask you about in the future. It's reminding you that you said something stupid to that person that you liked last week, and now you can't feel anything but shame about that one thing. And it can't escape your brain. It reminds you that, you know, so and so is out there doing this incredible thing and that you should possibly be capable of doing the same thing. So, and, and you're not living up to your potential. It's reminding you that you know, it's that the song that won't get out of your head, right? It's, it's the constant repetitive music from in Canto,  cuz your child watches that. Uh, if you haven't watched that movie, it's interesting, but it drives me nuts. Um, but anyways, back to monkey mind. The monkey mind is the part of your, your, your thought processes that are uncontrolled. It's the things that give you anxiety. It's the thoughts that make you depressed. It's the things that you feel are out of your control, right, That are driving you to be anxious or sad or mad or it, it's basically the, the autopilot of your brain when you decide or when you don't decide to be in control of it. And so what the initial parts of meditation end up being is learning how to submit that monkey mind. And usually it starts with something like this. They'll tell you to sit down, they'll tell you to take a deep breath, they'll tell you to take another deep breath and through your nose, without, through your mouth. And at a certain point they'll tell you the count breaths, right? I want you to count from zero to 10 each full breath being one, two. Whew, three. And you do that until you hit 10, and then you count from 10 down to zero doing the same thing. And so you continue that process, you know, let's say six to 10 times, right? One to two minutes of continuing that process of just thinking about your breath and counting your breath in a way that it completely takes over your consciousness and rids you of any of the poisonous thoughts that are happening because of your monkey mind. And then the next step is to sit still. Do not count and just breathe. But I want you to think of nothing. I want you to have a completely blank slate in your mind, and I want you to relax your body and mind and just think of absolute nothing. And when people generally start this practice, what they'll find is that their monkey mind is so powerful in their true self, their true consciousness, which is the individual who controls what is behind that monkey mind, right? Who subdues that monkey mind and determines that they're going to stop smoking a cigarette, right? And, and determines that they're gonna write that book and, and overcome the obstacles and, and the easy habitual ways of thought patterns and, and patterns of action that are in their way, right? And so by through this process of subduing your monkey mind for 10 minutes and every time that you're, you know, because it will happen every, you'll get frustrated the first time you do it. You'll breathe in, you'll breathe out, and all of a sudden that stupid assignment that you were supposed to do for school will pop into your brain or that task that you were supposed to have done tomorrow for work that you forgot about when you're laying up at night at nine 30, knowing you're not gonna wake up and go do it. and then you breathe and you remember that you're supposed to focus on your breath. You're not supposed to focus on all the stupid stuff that you forgot to do, . And by consistently subduing that monkey mind, you'll find that you get more space for the things that you wanna do in life, right? You'll find that you, you, you're not picking up that cigarette as often or at all. You'll find that you are more in control of your thoughts. You will find that there's this, you'll know, you'll start to notice because it's not gonna go away initially just by starting to do that. But what you'll find is that you'll start to notice your monkey mind more often, and you'll start to disassociate with the thoughts that are consistently going through your mind, that you normally identify with things that drive anxiety, things that drive depression. And after a certain amount of time of doing that, let's call it six months, your anxiety lessons, your depression shrinks away. Because you are starting to notice the patterns that are leading to that, the thought processes that have been carved into your brain since you were a child, that your parents put there for you, or by that your coach told you that you know, you were not good enough or whatever it is. You'll find that you can start to reparent yourself, to reeducate yourself, to retrain yourself, to live a life in a way that you want to because you're no longer being controlled by the whims of your subconscious thoughts that you have no control over, but you're subduing those thoughts and instead replacing them with intentional ideas of positivity, of gratitude, of, you know, things that are good for you, not things that are bad for you. And so through that initial phase o of of meditation, you start to expand your, your true self, your true consciousness. And so that, If normally your brain's being taken over by your monkey mind for, I don't know, call it 85% of the day, that by learning how to submit, make that monkey mind tap out through the intentional practice of meditation that your true self, your true consciousness, who has your best interest in mind, that is not just specifically repeating the, the traumatic experiences that you had because they're comfortable and habitual, you'll find that your life becomes better. You'll find that you have more gratitude for things you'll find less wanting and more gratefulness. Right? Um, you know, I, I, I tell my daughter this, grateful, not want. Right. Um, and, and so, you know, when my, my daughter is, is a lot of energy, right? Lot like I was as a kid, a lot of energy. And, you know, she has constant, you know, bouncing up and down because she wants to be doing something and she does gymnastics like, I don't know, like 16 hours a week, And so she, she has all of this energy that she needs to get out. And what I've found is that it's all that bouncing is going on in her head, is going on in her brain that monkey mind is taking over. And of course it is. She's six years old, right? And so, but what I've taught her is that, you know, I've taught her the idea of the monkey mind and to disassociate herself from the negative subconscious thoughts that drive anxiety and drive those, those negative emotions. And to realize that it's your monkey mind and that all you need to do toue, that monkey mind through practice is by taking a deep breath in and taking a deep breath out and noticing your breath.  and simply by doing that as often as you can, you'll find that you're taking control over from that monkey mind. And that's the introduction into meditation. That's the general idea. If you download the app Headspace, if you download the app, Calm, um, any of those popular meditation, uh, apps, what you'll find is that's always step one. Step one is ridding yourself. Not even, you'll never rid yourself of your monkey mind, but you can learn to sub do it and learn to notice it to the extent that you can start to sub do it as often as possible and replace it with positive, helpful thoughts instead of negative, uh, negative emotions and negative repetitive thoughts, right? So that's the intro and that's where you generally start with meditation. Then once you realize how powerful that that is, you'll start to move into more interesting. Once, once you feel the effects of that, you'll go, Wow. This shit really works, . It's crazy. And so you start to see the positive effects and that, and it starts to make you realize the power that you have through intentionality, through sheer willpower. You can rid yourself of your anxiety by rid yourself of that monkey mind, at least as often as possible. Now, the next step that you'll take and, and or can take in that journey is something like K yoga, Something like transcendental meditation is something like, um, you know, these, these different, more, uh, more in depth, more wild types of meditative techniques that yield different interesting results. Okay? So one of those ideas, and where we started from with this was, um, the idea of, um, let's see, where is it? Uh, he talks about. The idea of calling on a higher self, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. And so an experience that I've had with this, which was truly very po, I've, I've, I've had probably three super unbelievably impactful meditations that have changed their trajectory of my life forever. Um, and again, I'm, I'm generally, I'm a, a type, hyper logical person. It was, it was with some, you know, I have a, I have a draw towards these types of, you know, meditations and yoga and things that I find to be interesting for my personality type. But, um, I tend to be a hyper logical person. But you, once you start to enact these things, it's hard to deny the effects of them. So I did a, I found a, you know, I used to wake up every morning at like six 30 in the morning and I would come downstairs to my, you know, my basement. I would have my yoga mat there. I would lay down and I would do some type of yoga or some type of meditation, and I would alternate. I would do yoga. Then the next morning I'd do meditation. I would do yoga. And then the next morning I do meditation. And I found this transcendental meditation on YouTube. And if I can find it, I will link it in this week's subst stack. And if you haven't joined your subst, you should, uh, it's directly on our website, Red Pill revolution.co. You'll get all the links, all the articles, everything we're talking about today will be directly on the Subst stack. So go there, sign up, give your email, you'll get everything that we're talking about here. Okay? And including, if I can find this me. I will post it in there. It's on YouTube, and I believe it was a 10 megahertz, um, was the, the frequency that was used in it. And so, um, I laid down, and what this had you do is it had you get to the most calm state that you could possibly feel it. And, and you'll see people, like when they're meditating, they touch their fingers together, um, like they're index f or their pointer finger and their thumbs, right? The, the, the traditional, you know, funky, weird meditative sitting stance where most people aren't flexible enough to sit their legs weird. Crissy I am, by the way. Um, but you put your fingers together, right? And, and what I've found is that when I'm in a deeply meditative state, I find that the feeling of my fingertips goes away. It's a really wild phenomenon, but I know I'm there. I know that I've met this, you know, this deeper state of consciousness when I no longer know the room that I'm in. I'm no longer, you know, laying in in the, the shower, right? Sometimes when I meditate, I'm no longer laying on the floor of my office. I'm no longer on a yoga mat. I'm no longer looking at a wall inside of my house. I'm in my own walled garden, my own consciousness that is outside of where I'm at in this world, in this time, right? But if I open my eyes at any given time, sure I'm still in that room, but it does not feel like it at the time. So you lay down. And this, this guided meditation, this transcendental meditation walked me through the steps. And, and the idea was that you laid down your, you're calming yourself to the point where you can realize that your consciousness is a ball of energy, right? Your being, your soul is this ball of energy. And as you relax more, it walks you through the process of realizing there's a window in the room. And as you start to remove yourself, that, that ball, that blue light of energy or whatever color you give it, as you start to remove that from your vessel, from your body, in this meditation, it tells you that there's a window in the room or there's a door. And through this door and through this pathway, You will, if your soul, your consciousness will float up through this window. And as it escapes from the room that you're in right now, you will walk into a long hallway, or at least this is how I visually perfectly remember this meditation, which was maybe a couple years ago at this point. But I vividly imagine, I vividly remember this because I was literally here. So it walked me through. I walked, you know, I floated through this hallway, and on either side of me were these, uh, weird, like capsule looking things. Almost like the, you know, how you would picture the cryogenic chambers that people get frozen in when they go to space. It was kind of weird, you know, But each one of them, each one of these, you know, capsules on each side of me were closed off glassed in windows that I could look into. And each one of them was a, a, a different version of myself, a different, uh, a different variation of my being and a different reality. . It was crazy. Trust me, I, I wouldn't believe this either if I was you, but it, it was, it was really interesting. Think of it, even if it's hard to remember, imagine this as a, think of it like a dream. I was floating through this room, down this hallway that, that turned in this really interest, like perfectly circular angle around this corner that I never had to get to, because by the time that I'd noticed each of these vessels, I looked at each of them and there was almost like as if there was this, you know, monitor on each outside of it, which, which told me the personality traits of this individual that told me their drive, their work ethic, their, um, you know, their attachment to love and, and, and their ability to be compassionate and caring and their, uh, grind, you know, their, their ability to, to go after a goal and their tenacity and their, you know, all of these different personality traits of all these different vessels down this hallway of all these different variations of who I am as a person in different realities. And so I walked along this hallway and I, I looked at each one of these vessels and I, and I felt a, a magnet or a magnetism to a certain one of these, you know, uh, encapsulated versions of myself, . And so I walked up to this glass window and I felt who this version of me was, and I realized that's the best version of me that I need for this time in my life to be a compassionate, empathetic father, to be a good friend, to be a hard worker that's successful working towards my goals. And so I, I found that the color, when I, I realized that I was going to basically embody the traits of this variation of my personality. Um, and so what, what I felt in that moment was the color of the orb that I removed from my body back in my office, laying on the floor on a yoga mat. The, the color of my consciousness that that energy ball that floated through this hallway changed into a different color. It was wild. And as I follow, as I did that, I, it, it called me back. And I, I walked, you know, floated back through this hall as this new variation of who I was and found myself back through that window that I came in from back into The body that I had was given in this reality, but with the renewed sense and qualities and traits of the version of myself that I found in that room, crazy . It was wild, right? So this is like, I, I'm fairly positive it walked me through a majority of that experience and, um, It was so crazy, and right around that time, I had a turning point in, in my, you know, what I did in my life. It, it caused me to rethink the day to day habitual actions that I was taking, the trajectory that I was on for my career, the, the things that I enjoyed doing. It made me question all of that, and it made me embody the traits of, of the compassionate father that I saw myself as, or felt myself as in that different world that, that, that hallway that I walked down. It was such a powerful experience, and to know that I could access that room at any given time that I needed. Right. Whether I needed to, to change my personality traits, to, to be a better father, to be a better husband, to be a harder worker, to, to change my career, to have the balls, to go after a dream, like starting a podcast with the hopes of turning it into a successful career. It took me being a better version of myself than I knew I was in that moment before I left this room that I'm sitting in right now on the floor on a yoga mat. I knew it took more than that to be who I needed to be to get where I wanted to go, and I found who I could be in that meditation, and I brought that wa back with me and it's never left since. It's, it's such a crazy experience. Okay. That, that all to. That I 100% believe that this is possible. Right? Improved problem solving by calling on a higher self, which is expand, which is the expanded consciousness of the subject. I could have found any number of variations of personality traits that I needed to embody to reach my goals, to be a better person, to be who I wanted to be in that room. And I found it, and I brought it back with me and IEM embodied it. Okay? It was wild. It was crazy. You might not believe me, but it, it had a tremendous effect on my life, okay? And by now, you know, I, I don't bullshit. I don't talk. I, I don't just talk to talk. That was a crazy, unbelievable experience that I had. And if somebody told me, and I never meditated before, I wouldn't believe you either. Um, but that was one of the three really impactful meditations, one of the really impactful spiritual journeys that meditation has taken me on. And I'll walk you through the others at some point in this conversation today as well. But that one was crazy. All right, now it goes on to talk about, um, patterning, projecting the will into the universal hologram and the attempt to manifest a new reality. Um, some people refer to that as reality shifting. If you've ever seen the movie Everything Everywhere all the time or some shit like that, it's like everywhere. Everything everywhere all the time. I'm pretty sure that's the name of it. It's probably one of my top three movies it's ever I've ever watched. I love this movie. It's an unbelievable movie. It talks about the multiverse, it talks about different realities. It talks about this reality shifting idea, right? And, and calling on yourself from a different, you know, variation of your reality where you are, you know, have different personality traits, a different career projection, that you have a different. Uh, husband or wife or, you know, all of these different splits that you changed your reality based on a tree of decision making. Right? And I think that's a really interesting concept is, is that every decision that you make in this life splits off into a different un unlimited amount of realities, right? And, and so whether or not, you know, my wife and I met in high school and we're now married 10 years later, right? We, we stayed together that entire time, but on a different reality that didn't happen, right? We didn't meet each other in digital photography class in high school, . And, um, we didn't have three children together and we didn't get married in Paris and we didn't do all of these things. And, and somewhere I'm a lonely, uh, drunk who has no life goals,  at all, because I didn't meet my wife in high school, right? And so there's all of these splits that happen. Simultaneous level at any given time based on the reactions that you make to the stimulus that's taken in, right? Even just by talking about this meditation today, even by just having that conversation that we just had, I might have impacted your life in a way that you go home and you're interested now in trying meditation. And just by doing that, you split your reality from being somebody who never tried meditation to somebody who subdues their monkey mind on a daily basis, rids themself of anxiety and depression and lives the up to the full potential of your life that you could possibly have. All because of this one weird, crazy instance that you so happen to click on this podcast and listen to me talk about this. Right? And so I think that idea. I think that almost every decision that you make in your life, it, it branches you off into a different multiverse reality. And by doing so, you specifically manifest your reality through your thoughts because your thoughts are what drive your decisions. Your thoughts literally shape the reality around you at any given time, specifically by pushing you into a different possible reality than you would have been had you make a different, had you made a different decision and a different you in a different world, which is brought to us by string theory, right? The idea that there's all these consistent realities going on simultaneously around the world and time and space really doesn't exist, and all these wild theories that are now basically being accepted by science today come into play. Every decision you make branches off into a different reality. Every decision that you make turns you into a different you that you would've been and somewhere existing at this exact same time as the you that didn't make that decision. That has a different life is a different result of basically every decision and thought that you've ever had. It's a crazy thought, right? It's it's a unbelievably crazy thought, um, and it leads you into the simulation theory and it leads you into all these really interesting thought experiments, right? But it all starts kind of with that idea. Go watch that movie. If you want a little bit of insight into what the idea of the multiverses and an unbelievably entertaining and funny, and hilarious, and serious, and it's probably one of my favorite movies of all time, everything everywhere, all the time. Go watch it all. But that talks about the reality shifting, Right? By by specifically doing, you know, a, a, a, making a different decision in life, you're, you're jumping from this reality into a different one. Okay. Now it says that the, um, let's see. Color breathing and energy bar tool techniques are meant to stimulate healing effects on the body through the use of visualization. Out of body experiences allow individuals to exit their bodies and explore the physical world and beyond. This aspect of the gateway process is what McDonald finds to have been the most potential for use in intelligence operations as it would allow instantaneous information gathering. However, he knows that the process seems to garble and distort information being gathered, limiting its efficacy. The analysis of gateway process is a deep exploration into something seemingly supernatural remote viewing. And out of body experiences would revolutionize information gathering. If individuals could be quickly trained and results could be dependably replicated, the gateway process would be an invaluable tool to intelligence and military. However, the practical applications seem to be an afterthought for McDonald. Instead, the document spends more time establishing a grand theory to explain how out of body experiences might be possible. The holographic world, the influence of will and our conscious minds escaping into a sub planky universe outside of space. Although the simple act of meditation aided by uniquely paired sound frequencies, there is one more odd detail remaining about this document. Page 25 of the document is mysteriously missing. The implication is that this page explored the practical applications in greater depth. However, it has not been included in the declassified version. A petition exists for the public's access, but the CIA has released a statement that they will never receive this page either or they never received it, either. One theory is that McDonald admitted this page to drive individuals to explore the gateway process on their own. If you're one of the intrepid souls looking to put McDonald's theories to the test, links to the Monroe Institute and Gateway tapes are included in the description and will be included in the subs. For those of you who plan to remain in this dimension, please share your thoughts in the comments below. Um, The 25th page has since then found, and I will go through that with you in a moment. But the first thing I need to do is go to red pill revolution.co. Sign up for the subs stack. Okay?

Now let's go ahead and jump back. Into it. All right now, the gateway process, page number 25. Now, before I wanna do that, let's talk about what started me into this process and started me into this conversation because more recently I had a different, probably the most impactful experience of my life on the way that I view my family, the way that I view my friends, and the way that I view basically the humans around me. Now, this happened, I think two weeks ago now, and it's a fair, fairly, uh, you know, um, interesting topic to hear from somebody with a personality like mine. So I was downstairs. I, I had listened to a podcast by Tim Ferris talking to. Gads, uh, Gad Sied, Um, something along those lines. He was also just recently on the Joe Rogan podcast. Uh, let me see if I can find who it was. Um, but basically he is a guy who wrote a bunch of books, uh, Gad Sad, g a d s a A D, and he's a psychologist who has done, uh, meditative retreats and psychedelic experiences with groups of other psychologists or psychiatrists, and in attempt to see the healing effects. Um, And when he talked about these things, he talked about his experience with meditation, right? He talked about going on, uh, you know, doing this retreat that he set up for all these psychiatrists to figure out the, the helpful effects of something like iowaska. And they went to somewhere in the Amazon and they all did iowaska together. And he was told by the shamans that, you know, your energy is so dark that it's affecting everybody in the room. We can't break through to these other individuals because your energy is so deeply disturbed. And come to find out, he had an extremely difficult childhood that he was still processing and all these horrible things that happened to him, which makes sense. And also, he was a psychiatrist or a psychologist, one of the two who had been basically taking on the trauma of everybody, every patient he had ever had without any outlet for dealing with it. And these shamans basically taught him how to deal with the trauma of his patients in a positive way outside of using psychedelics, which was meditation. And so he found, uh, um, he found sad Guru, right? If you don't know who, uh, Sad Guru is, he was also on the Joe Rogan show. Very interesting guy. He's one of the, probably the biggest yogi gurus in the world today. The biggest, as far as like mainstream, yo, you know, American culture goes. And so Sad Guru is a really interesting character and I was interested in listening to the meditation that he put out there that this guy, um, sad. Or gad. Sad. A lot of sad going on here, . Anyways, so I listened to this, this, you know, meditation, this guided meditation, um, this mantra meditation by sad guru. And it talked, you know, it was very, very simple. I was expecting much more out of it than I, you know, not much more out of it, but I was expecting a much more robust meditation than what we, what I got from it. It was a 10 minute meditation where he basically sat there the entire 10 minutes and had you repeat that, the, the consistent mantra after taking a few deep breaths and relaxing your body and relaxing your mind and making you repeat the statement, I am not my body. I am not even my mind. I am not my body. I am not even my mind. I am not my body. I am not even my mind. And he repeated this for about 10 minutes, and at the end of it, it was a weird sound to hear because he started to do this, you know, chant or, uh, You know, sound, you know, the home kind of deal that you would kind of anticipate being, coming from , a yogi teacher, uh, in India. And, uh, the whole room that he was in, I didn't even know he was in the room until, you know, nine minutes into this where you hear it just echo through this whole room with this unbelievably like earth shaking sound. And so after that meditation was done, 11 minutes my YouTube went on to play, you know, just this background music. And I was so deep into this meditative state that I was sitting there and I got, like, pulled into this experience and that it might be a little even emotional to talk about. It was really interesting experience. So I, I was sitting there quietly and I remember, you know, being in a, you know, kind of getting to that meditative state, I couldn't feel my fingertips. I, I felt my oldest daughter. Come up from behind me and hug me and my daughter, you know, she's in first grade, so my, my oldest daughter come up from behind me and hug me. And, and, and so I felt my daughter do it. And then I felt my youngest daughter come up behind me and hug me. And then I felt my son come up from behind me and hug me. And then I felt my wife come up from behind me and hug me. And there was an interesting thing that it was from behind me. It's like, almost like I didn't, I didn't have to give anything to get this love from them, Right? Which is very true. And so they, she came up from behind. I, I felt the feeling of this like compounding feeling of love for my children and my. And then I just kept going. I have a very big family. I, my, my father came up from behind me and hugged me, my mom, my, my stepmom, my sisters. I have six sisters, each one of them all at the same time. Like this crazy, just expression of love, this feeling of everybody, grandparents, friends, all around me at one time in this singular hug and expression of love to me, without me having to reciprocate anything at all. Right? It was this overwhelming feeling of, of love and, and happiness, right? And so that was the first step. The first step was I, I felt every important person in my life at the very one by one in a compounding effect come up to me and hug me in this. And like I said, this is even, you know, that's a powerful feeling to have, right? And so the even exper re-experience that now just thinking about it is, is emotional. And so they, every one of these, just this compounding feeling, the, the best feeling you could ever imagine in your whole life is every person that loves you just coming together and hugging you at the one time into a point where it physically was not possible that all of these people hugged me at the same time, right? It was just the feeling, the emotion that the, the accepting of this love. And so that was the very first thing. The second thing that happened was I started to identify that between each person that came up to me. Some of the older people, not my children, but each person in my life had difficulties at some point or another, or trauma or difficult memories or childhood trauma with somebody else that was hugging me at the time. And so I remember walking step by step, person by person, facilitating basically, uh, a hug or an apology and an accepted apology and acceptance of that. Each person had their own systemic problematic issues that led to actions that affected the other person, right? So like, you know, let's say. Your Uncle Joe was a jerk, or as of a father and, and wasn't properly, You know, this has nothing to do with my family, but your, your uncle was a jerk to your cousin. Right? And, you know, and, and so picture your Uncle Joe standing in front of your, your cousin Jan . They really liked the, the j names and, you know, them just showing this expression of like, apology acceptance and then love. And then I would move to the next person, right? And, and my sister with so and so apology acceptance and love and, you know, my dad with, you know, the person that I feel affected him and, and him standing in front of that person as a child. Apology from that person, acceptance, embrace and love. And, and it just went person by person and person by person. And there was some deeply, you know, in every family there's always some, some difficult shit to deal with, right? And so there was this ongoing thing of every person who came up to me that I felt that embrace from, I facilitated the apology acceptance and love from the person that affected them negatively in their life from the perspective of them as a child, like even my own father. And I know some of the things that he went through and I, I vividly imagined him as a seven year old. In front of the person that, you know, I feel, you know, maybe he deserved or, or wanted, or, or could potentially look for an apology that would help him if he accepted it and then felt that embrace of love. Right? And obviously most of these people have probably gotten past these things, but, you know, for me it was really, really powerful. And, um, you know, there was, there was one person, you know, with multiple people that, that I felt that with, right? Facilitated my own, you know, feeling of being a child and feeling of the effects that that individual's actions had on me as a child. And then feeling the apology, the acceptance of that, the true acceptance of that apology, the understanding of where those actions came from, from like the systemic issues of where that person, what that person grew. In, and then the embrace and the love of that person and, and all the way through to some, you know, every person down the line had somebody in one shape or another that affected them in a negative way. And it was the facilitation of this apology acceptance and love in this meditative state. I'm literally visualizing every single person, one by one, dealing with their trauma, shouldering the burden of that trauma and facilitating the, the acceptance of that apology and the embrace of the love, and then would move on to the next person. It was such a wild experience because it gave me insight into why almost every person affected the other person was because somebody affected them in a negative way, right? If somebody was, um, a bad friend or a bad spouse, or a bad parent, or a bad this, or a bad sister or a brother, or this or that, or whatever, It wasn't because they're a shitty person, it was because they had been affected in some way that made them affect somebody else in another way. So it was like this domino effect of like shittiness of humanity that without the acceptance of the apology and the embrace and love would be carried by every person forever, because it's an ongoing cycle of trauma until you break that cycle. And so it was like, I was literally eight in the morning. I had to leave for work at eight 30 and it was some really heavy, heavy visualizations in this meditation that I was not facilitating this. These weren't thoughts that I was, now I'm thinking this. It was none of that. I was being pulled through. It was like watching a movie in front of me. And even now it's like I just have these butterflies in my stomach because it was such a powerful experience. And so, Through, through all of this. By the end of it, I'm just had f from the very beginning, from the, the feelings of the embrace of every person that loved me simultaneously from the behind. Um, obviously if you really felt that every person loving you is simultaneously at one time, and you truly felt that the way that your spirit is, you know, fulfilled at that time, you just like I did, would start, I just broke down and, you know, it was just such a positive experience. I, I really haven't had too many happy experiences in my life that made me cry and as a man, right. You know, I cried  and it was because of the love that I felt. Not something bad that happened to me, not frustration, but at the beginning of this, it was the love that I felt. And then it transitioned to those heavy burdened, you know, Uh, difficult facilitations of trauma and acceptance and apologies and love from each. I knew everybody's story deeply and intensely felt the trauma in, and, and intensely felt the interaction between that person who was affected as a child, literally, vividly imagining that person at that age and seeing the person that loved them, but didn't show it properly at that time. Apologizing, hugging, loving, embracing that person and the acceptance of that apology. So it was like literally burdening, getting, bearing the burden and weight of every individual's trauma in my family simultaneously. And then the positive outcome that happened by the end of it. And so it turned into that, right? And it was like, I was literally just taken on this unbelievable spiritual journey of all of this, you know, love and trauma and apologies and acceptance of those people in my family at one time.
