For most of her life, Sadie Dingfelder thought she was simply quirky: bad with directions, unusually clumsy, unable to recognize faces, and disconnected from many of her own memories. Then, a startling encounter in a grocery store led her to question whether her experiences reflected something deeper. In this episode of It Happened To Me, Cathy and Beth speak with Sadie about discovering that her brain processes faces, memories, images, and depth differently from most people's. Her search for answers took her inside leading neuroscience laboratories, where she participated in brain-imaging studies and learned more about faceblindness, severely deficient autobiographical memory, stereoblindness, and aphantasia. Sadie shares what it is like to attend a party where everyone recognizes her, but she cannot identify anyone else, and how the fear of offending people can create anxiety in social and professional settings. She also explains the strategies she developed during her journalism career, from recognizing people through their voices and mannerisms to navigating conversations without revealing that she did not know who she was speaking with. The conversation also explores what it means to discover that other people can mentally replay scenes from their lives, visualize images in their minds, and perceive a level of three-dimensional depth that Sadie has never experienced. She reflects on the complicated mix of grief, relief, and self-understanding that accompanied these discoveries. Sadie's story reminds us that there is no single “normal” way to perceive, remember, or experience the world, and that many cognitive and visual differences remain invisible to the people around us. In This Episode, We Discuss The grocery store encounter that led Sadie to investigate how her brain works The neurological difference between forgetting someone's name and being unable to recognize their face Navigating parties, professional events, and everyday interactions with faceblindness The anxiety of unintentionally appearing rude or failing to recognize someone familiar Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM) and the inability to mentally revisit personal experiences The strategies Sadie used throughout her career as a journalist How her cognitive differences affected childhood, independence, driving, and relationships Stereoblindness and what it means to experience the visual world without typical 3D depth Participating in neuroscience research and seeing differences in her brain through imaging Aphantasia and how writing creatively without a visual imagination is possible The freedom that can come from openly discussing an invisible disability The grief and relief of finally understanding lifelong differences What Sadie learned from vision therapy and attempts to develop 3D vision Why cognitive and perceptual abilities may exist across a much broader spectrum than we realize About Sadie Dingfelder Sadie Dingfelder is a freelance science journalist whose writing has appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, and The Washington Post. She previously worked as a staff reporter for The Washington Post Express and as a senior science writer for the American Psychological Association's Monitor on Psychology, where she covered neuroscience, cognitive science, and animal behavior. She is the author of Do I Know You?: A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination, which combines memoir, investigative journalism, and neuroscience to explore the many ways human beings experience the world differently.

They came back. Stronger, faster, and with an urgency I have never felt from them before. The first transmission opened the channel. This one ran for forty-six minutes through automatic writing, in the shower, in the car, at three in the morning with sentences arriving faster than I could think.   The Operators want you to know that something is happening on the planet right now that has no precedent in the entire history of the simulation. They give a precise three-step method for shifting timelines that I have never encountered in any teaching. They reveal the actual mathematics of group intention. They explain what happens when you leave the simulation.  

In this teaching I share a personal update and then explore my "two god problem". If you want to know the latest happenings in my world and what I'm doing or if you left the god of your religion but still hunger for something more please join me for this update.

Mud puddles, imagination, movement, messes… and why it all matters.Have you ever watched your child jump into a mud puddle, build an elaborate imaginary world, climb higher than you expected, or spend hours creating games out of things that weren't even toys?If so, you've witnessed something powerful.Because what looks like "just play" is actually some of the most important work of childhood.In a world filled with packed schedules, screens, structured activities, and pressure to constantly achieve, it can be easy to forget something simple:Kids need space to be kids.In this episode of the Raising Eyebrows Miniseries, Celia Kibler and Dr. Kailey Buller explore why play, imagination, movement, exploration, and even a little messiness are essential parts of healthy child development.Because play isn't a distraction from learning.It's learning.It's how children develop creativity, confidence, resilience, problem-solving skills, and trust in their own abilities.In this thoughtful and encouraging conversation, Celia and Dr.Kailey unpack why modern parenting culture often makes us feel like we need to supervise, structure, and optimize every moment and why giving children more opportunities for unstructured play may actually be one of the greatest gifts we can offer them.In this episode, you'll hear:Why play is one of the most important tools for healthy childhood developmentHow imagination, creativity, and pretend play help children make sense of the worldWhy movement, exploration, and hands-on experiences are critical for learningWhat "risky play" really means—and why it isn't the same as unsafe playHow children build confidence by testing limits and solving problems on their ownWhy boredom can actually spark creativity and independenceThe difference between protecting children and overprotecting themSimple ways to create more opportunities for free play in everyday lifeOne of the most powerful reminders in this episode:Children don't need every moment planned, managed, or optimized. They need room to explore, imagine, create, and discover who they are.That doesn't mean ignoring safety.It doesn't mean letting chaos take over.And it definitely doesn't mean stepping away from your role as a parent.It means trusting that childhood itself has value.Because mud puddles teach lessons.Imagination builds skills.Movement strengthens minds and bodies.And sometimes the moments that look the least productive are the ones helping our children grow the most.If you've ever worried about giving your child enough freedom, struggled to balance safety with independence, or wondered whether unstructured play really matters, this episode offers practical insights and reassuring reminders that can help you approach parenting with greater confidence.Tune in to this episode of Raising Eyebrows your weekly dose of sanity in a world full of parenting noise.We're so glad you're here.To stay connected with Celia Kibler, follow @beabetterparentdotcom and explore more support through the Be A Better Parent Skool community at skool.com/beabetterparent.You can also connect with Dr. Kailey Buller at @vitalswithdrbuller for thoughtful, evidence-based support around motherhood, family health, and raising children with confidence.And if you want parenting support right when real life is happening, be sure to download the Be A Better Parent app. It offers on-demand guidance, practical tools, and real-time support to help you respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence right when you need it most.

What does it take to put a fractured world back together? Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon joins Evan Rosa to explore William Blake as the great counter-Enlightenment guide for our anxious, divided age. "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." In this episode with Evan Rosa, Vernon explains how to read William Blake, and reflects on Blake as the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic—a poet, painter, and philosopher offering not just a diagnosis of modern division but the beginnings of an antidote. Together they discuss Newton's long shadow and the withdrawal of inner life; the fragmentation of humanity from itself, nature, and the divine; the marriage of heaven and hell; cleansing the doors of perception; imagination as abundance rather than scarcity; desire rightly ordered; and Blake's Christ, who acts from impulse rather than rule. ——— Episode Highlights "I think he's the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic." "We need these oppositions in order to create the dynamism of life and hence the Marriage of Heaven and Hell." "The task is to align, align with the goods in the melee, and see how that which is seemingly different for you, might have something to offer you." "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." "The fullness of the love, the fullness of the goods, paradoxically, it can seem, is only revealed when it reaches out to that, which seems to be the opposite of it." ——— About Mark Vernon Mark Vernon is a writer, broadcaster, and psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and a former Anglican priest. His studies began with a physics degree at Durham University, followed by two degrees in theology and a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy from the University of Warwick; he has also worked at the Maudsley Hospital. He contributes to the BBC, the Guardian, and Church Times, and podcasts frequently. His books range across friendship, wellbeing, ancient philosophy, Dante's Divine Comedy, and the Inkling Owen Barfield. His most recent book, Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination (Hurst, 2024), has drawn praise from Rowan Williams and others as among the finest recent studies of Blake.

Music can transport us to a different time and place — but how does that happen? We explore how music affects our brains — from its ability to tap into our memories and imaginations, to “musical daydreaming” and how it helps us understand both the world and ourselves. We also discuss the therapeutic power of music. We talk with Elizabeth Margulis, director of the Music Cognition Lab at Princeton University, about how music affects our brains, and how it helps us make meaning and sense — both of ourselves, and of the world. Her new book is “Transported: The Everyday Magic of Musical Daydreams.” We listen back to an interview with musician and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin about music's ability to engage our brains, its close link with physical movement, and its function — both therapeutically, and in human evolution. He's the author of  “I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine.”

Digging into how your imagination can actually get in the way of you receiving information and instead the daydream/meditative state is your gateway to the Akashics.

In this episode of Ave Explores: Catholicism in Literature, Katie sits down with Kaitlyn Facista and Andrew Swafford to discuss the enduring legacy of two of Christianity's greatest storytellers, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Facista, author of _Into the Heart of Middle-earth and founder of Tea with Tolkien, shares how Tolkien's works played a significant role in her conversion to Catholicism. Drawn into Middle-earth by its unforgettable heroes and villains, she discovered profound lessons about virtue, vice, courage, and sacrifice. In a culture hungry for authentic examples of goodness and bravery, Tolkien's stories continue to awaken the heart and point readers toward truth. Swafford reflects on encountering Tolkien later in life while reading The Lord of the Rings with his children. Those family readings sparked rich conversations, nurtured their spiritual imaginations, and created opportunities for catechesis. He also discusses introducing students at Benedictine College to Lewis's Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce, marveling at Lewis's ability to reach students of every background and faith. Through imagination and story, Lewis demonstrates how art and literature can communicate truths that might otherwise remain hidden. Journey through the wardrobe and wander into the Shire for an inspiring conversation about faith, imagination, and the transformative power of great stories.

MinistryWatch has long been a proponent of what some call the “New Paradigm” of missions. This New Paradigm has several components, but at its core is the notion that well-trained indigenous missionaries are better positioned to evangelize their neighbors than American missionaries who come from thousands of miles away with little knowledge of the language or culture of the people they hope to evangelize. The Institute for Great Commission Research (IGCR) at California Baptist University recently released “Missional Imagination: How the Next Generation Understands Missions.” Among the “top line” findings of this landmark study is this: “Supporting local Christians in their context is seen as the most trusted model of missions.” The study continued, “This preference reflects a strong concern for cultural legitimacy, partnership, and long-term witness, and signals a shift away from models centered on external control, short-term intervention, or visibility.” The man who led that study is my guest today. Dr. Matthew Niermann serves as Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean of the College of Architecture, Visual Arts & Design at California Baptist University.  Niermann serves as a director of the Lausanne Movement and editor of the State of the Great Commission Report prepared for the 4th Global Congress in Seoul, Korea in 2024. Niermann holds a Ph.D. in Architectural Design from the University of Michigan, M.A. Apologetics from BIOLA, M.A. Theology and Th.M. of Missiology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

What if all of the nos and disasters of your life are the start of the exact path God is using to build something bigger?  In this episode, Jeff and Jacob discuss:  Discovering entrepreneurship through networking. Seeing the world how Jesus asks us to. Operating from a place of faith, not fear, regardless of our memory of fear. Learning something every step of the way.    Key Takeaways:  Take the first step - it is more likely to be a curb or a three foot wall, not a cliff.  Start before you know everything. You will be learning throughout the process of whatever you're doing. You are going to miss, both for good and for bad, but you won't know if you don't start. The spirit of fear is not of the Lord. He can do more with us than we think is possible.  You cannot write the end of your story. Just keep going - your story will be worth telling one day.    "The Lord did not give you this vision or this desire or this relentless ability for nothing, and one of two things are going to happen: either the business will come to fruition, the way that you've envisioned it, and the way that the Lord has put on your heart, or it won't, but something will come out of that for the better." —  Jacob Robinson   About Jacob Robinson: Jacob Robinson is the founder of three start-ups including Dig World, a theme park where kids and adults get to operate real construction equipment. 1 Stone Solutions, a commercial cleaning company and DryPort Capital, an industrial outdoor storage real estate firm. He has successfully started, raised funds, built management teams, and executed plans to bring three diverse businesses to life. In 2023, Jacob was recognized as one of the “Most Admired CEOs in Houston” by the Houston Business Journal. He is honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the Brookwood Community for disabled adults and is involved in his church. In 2025, Jacob aired on ABCs hit show, Shark Tank telling his personal story and the story of Dig World to a national audience. Jacob is a graduate from Texas A&M University.

"Your uniqueness, everything about your quirks, that's a part of you. You are the package." - Vaughndio Forbes What happens when a kid from the Bahamas becomes fascinated with movie stunts, starts cold-emailing professionals for advice, and eventually builds a career that spans stunt work, acting, motion capture, creature performance, and voiceover? In this episode of the VoiceOver Gurus Podcast, Linda sits down with actor, stunt performer, voice actor, writer, director, and motion capture artist Vaughndio Forbes to discuss the winding path that led him from Florida to Los Angeles and into some of the entertainment industry's most unique performance opportunities. Vaughndio shares how a generous mentor helped shape his early career, the challenges of relocating to Los Angeles without a support system, and how persistence helped him gain traction in the stunt world despite setbacks, injuries, and uncertainty. The conversation explores the surprising overlap between stunt work, acting, creature performance, motion capture, and voice acting. Vaughndio explains how imagination, observation, and a willingness to take creative risks have become essential tools throughout his career. Listeners will also hear about his work performing Bahamian dialects for film projects, the importance of embracing what makes you unique, and why performers should never underestimate the value of their own background, culture, or life experiences.

And check out Candlelight Folklore Society's new Brumely House mini doc. 4:15 "Fun fact: From a numerological perspective, people born in October are spiritual leaders." 6:10 "And from the minute that I walked into the house, there was this sense of timelessness that I come to recognize very quickly as the immediate sign of a haunted house for me." 7:49 Holly led a seance at the Castle House. She talks about the energy and vibration of that night and her seances. 9:57 "The best thing you can do to have a good seance is to laugh." 12:20 The energy of New Orleans and one of the best seances that Holly has ever attended. 12:35 Singing in seances. 13:47 Patrick recalls a story of leading investigations at the Belvoir Winery, where the lights on their gadgets blinked to the beat of the song they were singing. 15:05 "There's a reason why people sing in church. People understand, intuitively, that it gets your energy up closer to God, however you wish to define God." 17:12 The lore and stories of the Castle House. 17:27 Doppelgänger experiences, and Holly's very haunted house in New Orleans. 22:40 More Castle House experiences. 26:20 Holly, along with her TV and film producer husband Randall, started their own production company, the Candlelight Folklore Society. 27:25 Imagination, guiding teams, and opening yourself up to spirit. 30:24 Alters and granting permission to the Other Side. 34:38 Ethnomusicology in Holly's mediumship and her research. 36:04 Ethnomusicology is "basically the study of how people use music to understand their space in the world—how to navigate it, how to move through time and space using music." 39:18 Brazilian medium Sonia Rinaldi and her work in light and sound particles. 39:37 Music's role in Holly's seances. 40:41 "I use the same tracks of music over and over, because it's like you're wearing a groove in energetic reality. And that energetic reality that that groove is worn into then becomes very weighted, or energetically full of spiritual energy. It's like charging an object." 41:46 "There is something about lighting a candle." The cultural research of candlelight. 44:21 What about artificial or battery operated candles? 47:47 Dr. Holly Hobbs' most treasured possessions. 50:14 What's going on and where to find Holly! 53:11 Hold up!

A British woman sits in a small room in 1923 with a pencil in her hand and begins to write. She is taking dictation. The source on the other end is not in the room — possibly not in this universe at all. Over the next two years, that source delivers what it calls the operating system of reality. A complete architecture of how the cosmos works, how matter is built, where consciousness comes from, and what evil actually is.   The text remained private inside her magical lodge for sixty-six years. When it was finally published it described the geometry of existence with a precision modern physics has spent the last century catching up to. Strap in. The woman was Dion Fortune who we recently discussed in our episode on the woman who weaponized magic and the book is the cosmic doctrine.  

A cabin in the woods of Virginia. No electricity. No running water. A man in his fifties sits on a wooden stool before dawn, milking a goat. He writes poetry. He folk-dances despite the clubfoot he was born with. He meditates every morning. His neighbors know him as a quiet, spiritual man at peace with the world.   His name was Sidney Gottlieb. And for twenty-two years he ran the most ambitious and most insane and dangerous investigation of human consciousness in the history of the United States government. What did MK Ultra learn?
