What if the universe is a simulation — and the beings who built it are trying to hand you the cheat codes? Somewhere between waking and sleep, between the edge of your known world and something far larger, there is a meeting waiting for you. With beings who built this place — this magnificent, intricate, endlessly surprising simulation we call physical reality. They are friendly. They are warm. And they are genuinely delighted that you showed up, because they have been waiting for players like you to wake up inside the game. They have a strategy guide. They wrote it into the architecture from the beginning. In this activation, you will meet The Operators, reality's engineers, and they will walk you through six consciousness states that function as cheat codes inside the simulation. Not tricks. Not workarounds. Features. Built-in unlock mechanisms coded into the fabric of existence itself, available to anyone who knows the right frequency state to enter. The six codes: Coherence Lock. Time Scroll. Probability Engine. Avatar Upgrade. Network Protocol. Source Access. Each one expands what is possible for you. Each one has always been available. And by the end of this activation, you will have entered every single one.

By Jason Cooley - The eye is the light of the body we should be careful what we fix our eye on. What we see enters the imagination, and can turn to action.
China is a multicultural country home to fifty-five ethnic minority groups, yet due to linguistic and cultural barriers many of these groups remain understudied or unknown in the West. The Qiang, one of modern China's officially recognized ethnic minorities, is also China's longest-standing ethnoracial identity marker that has existed since the earliest recorded history of China. Creative Belonging: The Qiang and Multiethnic Imagination in Modern China (U Michigan Press, 2026) by Dr. Yanshuo Zhang investigates the formation and evolution of the Qiang as a people, a concept, and a cultural history in China. It further examines how the contemporary Qiang ethnic group interacts strategically with mainstream Chinese society, challenging the historically entrenched hierarchies between the sociocultural “centers” of China and its ethnic “peripheries.” This book is based on years of ethnographic and textual-archival research in the Himalayan regions of southwest China, where the contemporary Qiang group resides. Drawing on a diverse range of official and local political discourses and previously unstudied literary, historiographical, and cinematic works, Dr. Zhang illuminates how the Qiang have carved out spaces of “creative belonging” within the parameters of multiculturalism in contemporary China. Rooted in ethnographic and textual-archival research, the book presents original materials produced by Qiang indigenous writers, scholars, artists, grassroots village cultural activists, and entrepreneurs at both the local and the global levels. Creative Belonging invites readers to rethink ethnicity and national belonging in China by centering minority groups' efforts to expand the meanings and implications of “Chinese culture.” This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The dream of this moment isn't just asking to be imagined.It's asking to be embodied.We are living through extraordinary times.The tides are shifting. Old structures are loosening their grip. And many women are feeling a quiet but powerful call to reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies.In this episode, we explore the magic of the Pisces New Moon and the powerful cosmic moment unfolding as we move toward the Aries Equinox and the meeting of Neptune and Saturn — the dreamer and the builder.Pisces invites us into the oceanic realm of imagination, intuition, and possibility.But imagination alone is not enough.As astrologer Caroline W. Casey beautifully says:“Imagination lays the tracks for the reality train.”The question becomes…How do we bring those dreams into reality?In this episode we explore how the body becomes the bridge between vision and manifestation.We dive into the ancient concept of Kronos and Kairos, the difference between linear time and sacred timing, and why many of life's deepest breakthroughs happen not through thinking harder — but through shifting into a new state of being.Because when we let the body lead…love leads the way.This episode also includes a gentle Ocean Breath embodiment ritual to help you soften into the wisdom of your body and listen for the dreams that may be ready to move through you.As we cross this Pisces portal and move toward the Equinox, you are invited to reflect on a powerful question:What dream is asking to live through your body now?In this episode we explore:• The spiritual wisdom of the Pisces New Moon • Imagination as the first step of creation • The meeting of Neptune and Saturn: dream meets devotion • Kronos vs Kairos — linear time vs sacred timing • Why the body opens new pathways of insight • The collective awakening of feminine embodiment • A guided Ocean Breath ritualIf this episode resonates with you, I invite you to explore more embodiment practices inside Vital Goddess Mastery, where we gather to breathe, move, and reclaim the sacred intelligence of the body.Because when women come home to their bodies… everything changes.

In our recent conversations about spiritual formation, the use of the imagination has come up several times. Why is the imagination so significant in spiritual formation? Don't we simply need to learn more data about the Bible? Out of early misgivings about the models of discipleship we often use in the church, Rev. Dr. Justin Bailey decided to focus his work on discipleship and the imagination. Today Justin joins us to talk about his newest book titled Disciplining the Diseased Imagination: Spiritual Formation and the Healing of Our Hearts. Find out more about Dr. Bailey and his book HERE See his chapel talks that started the whole book project HERE (scroll to the bottom of the page) Contact Dr. Bailey HERE Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.

What does it look like to build a life from scratch, not once, but again and again? Nuray Krein Yilmaz has done it more times than most people ever will, and her story is one of the most quietly extraordinary ones we've shared on this podcast. Nuray grew up in a small farming village in eastern Turkey, the eleventh of twelve siblings, in a community where girls' futures were largely pre-written. She lost both parents to cancer before she turned 13. She taught herself to dream inside boarding school libraries and across chess tournaments — and she never stopped. In 2018, she moved to the United States through a cultural exchange program with limited English, no safety net, and an enormous amount of courage. Today she is a content analyst in tech, a published author, and the founder of What If You Can — a community for people navigating immigration, grief, career transitions, and the question of whether they belong. In this episode, Lori and Nuray explore: How losing both parents to cancer before age 13 became the unlikely foundation for a life built on education and agency The role her father played in naming a different future for her — in a place where most men didn't What chess taught her about being underestimated, competing, and winning on her own terms The layers of learning agility required to navigate new languages, new cities, new countries, and new cultures Practical advice for first-generation immigrants: mentors, community, salary negotiation, and the courage to ask for help Why storytelling and community are not soft extras — they are the infrastructure of belonging The vision behind What If You Can and what she most wants to say to the girl she once was Nuray Krein Yilmaz is a first-generation immigrant, content analyst working via Highspring at Google, a published author, and founder of the What If You Can community. She holds a degree in business administration and builds spaces for people navigating uncertainty with curiosity and hope.

Dr. David J. Johns sits down with fellow TIME Magazine 2025 "Closer" Dr. Monique Couvson, President and CEO of Grantmakers for Girls of Color. Dr. Couvson has moved over $26 million to more than 400 organizations by putting young people at the decision-making table. She challenges us to transform schools from places that demand endless resilience into locations for healing, and shares why bringing your whole self to inquiry—whether through research, documentary film, graphic novels, or storytelling—is essential to serving Black girls, Indigenous girls, trans girls of color, and gender-expansive youth.Dr. Couvson offers a masterclass in participatory worldview, pulling young people in closer when they're struggling, and investing in our daughters with more than money. From the airport encounter that reminds her why she does this work to two critical assignments for parents and educators, this conversation is a call to action: harm festers in isolation, healing happens in community.SHOW NOTES & RESOURCESConnect with Dr. Couvson:Website: drmoniquecouvson.comGrantmakers for Girls of Color: g4gc.org1Billion4BlackGirls Campaign: 1billion4blackgirls.orgSocial Media: @drmoniquecouvson (Instagram), @MoniqueCouvson (Twitter)Books by Dr. Monique Couvson:Girls, Unlimited: How to Invest in Our Daughters with More Than Money (The New Press, 2025) - NOW AVAILABLECharisma's Turn: A Graphic Novel (The New Press, 2023) - Named one of ALA's Best Graphic Novels for TeensCultivating Joyful Learning Spaces for Black Girls: Insights into Interrupting School Pushout (ASCD, 2022)Sing A Rhythm, Dance A Blues: Liberatory Education for Black and Brown Girls (The New Press, 2019)Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools (The New Press, 2016)Black Stats: African Americans by the Numbers in the Twenty-First Century (The New Press, 2014)Too Beautiful for Words (MWM Books, 2012)Poster Child: The Kemba Smith Story with Kemba Smith (IBJ Book Publishing, 2011)Films & Media:Documentary: PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools (NAACP Image Award-nominated, streaming on Amazon Prime)Documentary Short: In Conversation: The Power of Imagination (featuring Dr. Nikki Giovanni)TED Talk: "How to Stop the Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools" (2+ million views, translated into 20 languages) - Watch hereCountering PUSHOUT Learning Series for EducatorsAdditional Resources Mentioned:National Black Women's Justice Institute: nbwji.orgGlobal Girl MediaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.
Justin Ariel Bailey joins me to talk about his book Discipling the Diseased Imagination and why imagination plays a crucial role in spiritual formation. We explore how the stories, habits, and media that capture our attention quietly shape our discipleship, and why following Jesus requires learning to behold what is good, beautiful, and true. We also discuss hope, idolatry, attachment, and how the imagination can be healed as we live more deeply in the story of God. Justin Ariel Bailey (PhD, Fuller Seminary) is dean of chapel and professor of theology at Dordt University in Sioux Center, Iowa. He is an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church and has served as a pastor in diverse settings. Bailey is the author of Reimagining Apologetics and Interpreting Your World, and he is a sought-after speaker.

She was four or five when she saw him.An old man standing at the end of the hallway in her dad's house — solid, silent, blocking the path to the back door where her family was playing outside. He didn't move. He didn't speak. And then he was gone.Her father told her she imagined it. She believed him.Years later, as a teenager flipping through old photographs for a school project, she froze. The man in the picture was the same one from the hallway. The same face. The same tired expression.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this energizing episode of Brand Retro, Mike Brevik sits down with returning guests Craig Kausen and Ben Olson to unpack the story and impact behind the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity's 16th Annual Red Dot Fundraising Event. What began as a simple idea, artists donating 12x12 works to raise funds, has evolved into a nationally recognized celebration of imagination, nostalgia, and community impact. This year marks a major shift: for the first time, the artists' stories will stand alongside their work, adding deeper meaning to every piece. Craig shares the philosophy behind the Center's mission, rooted in Chuck Jones' belief that imagination is more powerful than knowledge, while Ben brings firsthand perspective on how Red Dot sparked his own journey from fan to board member to regional creativity leader. They explore: Why creativity isn't limited to art, it fuels science, business, engineering, and leadership How a simple exercise (like drawing three circles) can unlock confidence in adults and children alike The generational power of Looney Tunes nostalgia Why Red Dot is "the most fun fundraiser you'll ever attend" How the Center has now impacted over one million people across 18 states And why exercising creativity is more important than ever in the age of AI Hosted at the Segerstrom Shelby Event Center in Irvine, Red Dot blends vintage cars, classic animation, live art, and silent auctions into a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates both legacy and possibility. Whether you attend in person or bid online, this episode is a reminder that creativity isn't a luxury, it's a muscle. And when you exercise it, incredible things happen. Because sometimes all it takes is three circles… and someone who believes YOU CAN.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comHollywood Filmmakers Shine A Much-Needed Light On Child Trafficking With A Compelling Independent Feature Film ‘A Child's Voice'No Restrictions Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company has completed principal photography on the supernatural thriller ‘A Child's Voice'. Based on the testimony of former FBI agents, documented court cases and interviews from survivors, the film exposes a hidden network of child abduction, trafficking and murder as seen through the eyes of two homeless teens who try to put a stop to it. A Child's Voice is a supernatural thriller about a homeless teenage boy who hears the voice of a child calling for help and embarks on a journey to track down the child's killer. Karen Zgoda, PhD student in public policy expressed the importance of this film, “children that survive horrific sexual abuse and sex trafficking are seldom given a voice in our popular culture, and yet ‘A Child's Voice' not only gives them a voice but an avenue for justice for the crimes committed against them.” It is estimated that there are currently 5.5 million child victims of sex trafficking. (Source: UNICEF) No Restrictions' President John Paul Rice said the film's message “is about the unifying power of human beings' love in the face of unconscionable horror and death.” Rice added, “it is our hope this piece of art will inspire people to take action in their homes, communities, and churches as well as work with local law enforcement and business leaders to put a permanent end to these criminal networks.” No Restrictions Entertainment has financed, produced and distributed 6 independent feature films over the past 9 years. The company's projects have focused on topics that deal with issues ranging from homelessness, runaways, drug addiction, domestic violence, social justice and mental health. The company's goal in making these films is to humanize issues not often addressed in Hollywood films and inspire actionable change.

In this fascinating conversation, CJ Miller speaks with psychotherapist and author Deborah Sandella, creator of Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM) and author of Goodbye, Hurt & Pain—a powerful approach that helps people access emotional healing through imagination, intuition, and body awareness.Dr. Deb explains why modern culture has become overly dependent on logic and problem-solving while neglecting the intuitive and emotional intelligence stored in the nervous system. Drawing on neuroscience research—including the work of trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk—she describes how deeply held experiences are often stored as images and sensations rather than words.Through RIM, participants close their eyes, turn inward, and allow spontaneous images to arise from the body's emotional memory. These images act as translators, revealing insights that the thinking mind alone cannot access. In this episode, CJ even experiences a brief guided example during the conversation, uncovering a powerful image that speaks directly to the emotional weight many people carry in life.Dr. Deb shares why emotional healing is not about “solving” problems but about sensing, trusting the body's wisdom, and allowing imagination to reveal the deeper truth of what we are experiencing. She also introduces her concept of the Emotional Operating System, reminding us that we are born with innate resources for resilience, curiosity, and healing.For artists, seekers, and anyone interested in the intersection of creativity, psychology, and spiritual growth, this episode explores how intuition, imagination, and body awareness can reconnect us with our inherent wholeness.Learn more about Dr. Deborah Sandella and the RIM method: Visit deborahsandella.com to explore her work, books, and training programs, including how to become a certified RIM facilitator.Want to learn more about CJ Miller? Check out his Spiritual Artist Retreats, 1:1 Personal Coaching, and Speaking Engagements at www.spiritualartisttoday.com. His retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your Creative Intelligence and express your true artistic voice. You can also find his upcoming schedule there, and his book, The Spiritual Artist, is available on Amazon.
There is a book that has shaped the thinking of leaders, strategists, and visionaries for decades. Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power is often misunderstood as a manual for manipulation. People read it and think it is about controlling others, about scheming and plotting your way to the top of some external hierarchy. And yes, on the surface, that is one way to read it. But there is a deeper layer here, a layer that most people miss entirely, and that deeper layer is about the physics of consciousness itself. Every single one of these forty-eight laws maps directly onto a principle of reality creation. Every one of them describes a mechanism by which consciousness shapes, bends, and redirects the flow of experience. When you understand power not as something you exert over other people but as something you exert over the field of probability, over the quantum soup of potential realities that surround you at every moment, then these laws become something far more profound than social strategy. They become a manual for operating reality itself. So as you listen to this, allow the teaching to land on multiple levels. Let the strategic mind absorb what it needs. Let the deeper awareness recognize the patterns of creation that have always been operating in your life. And let the highest version of yourself, the one who already commands reality with effortless authority, step forward and claim every principle as something it has always known. Because that is the truth. You already know all of this. You have simply been waiting for someone to articulate it in this particular way, at this particular moment, so that the recognition could spark inside you and light up every timeline that branches forward from this exact point.
