It's an honor to be joined by Mark Vernon to discuss his new book, Awake!: William Blake and the Power of the Imagination. Explore the profound philosophy of seeing through the senses rather than merely with them to uncover a world that is inherently infinite and divine. This discussion delves into the life of William Blake, a “local mystic,” who traversed the streets of London while witnessing angels in trees and perceiving the vitality of the entire cosmos. By examining the power of imagination as a shared divine presence rather than a private possession, we investigate how to awaken from a state of mental fragmentation and “Newton's sleep.” You're invited to follow a “golden string” toward a spiritual renovation of everyday life, learning to find eternity's sunrise within every particular minute.

Dr. K breaks down how getting stuck in regret, fantasy, and “what could have been” thinking can quietly block real change. When the mind keeps rewriting the past or imagining alternate versions of life, it feels productive, but it actually drains the emotional fuel needed to move forward in the present. This episode explores why fantasy can feel comforting but ultimately keeps people stuck, especially in depression. Dr. K explains how negative emotions are closely tied to learning and motivation, and why avoiding them through imagination, rumination, or distraction prevents real progress. The focus is not on fixing the past or visualizing a perfect future, but on tolerating the present long enough to take the next real step. Topics covered include: Why regret-based fantasy feels helpful but blocks action How imagination converts negative emotion into false relief The connection between negative emotion, learning, and motivation Why rewriting the past creates a false present you cannot act from How to shift from “what should have been” to “what do I do now” HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 383 applies Napoleon Hill's timeless principles to sales, showing how decision, persistence, and the mastermind turn inner preparation into consistent results. Learn practical, neuroscience-backed actions to make clear decisions, sustain effort through resistance, and multiply success by aligning with the right people. Welcome back to Season 15 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast — where we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience to create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi. And seven years ago, when we launched this podcast, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask — either in school, in business, or in life: If productivity and results matter — and they matter now more than ever — how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to work with our brain instead of against it. We were taught what to do — but not how to think, decide, persist, or align with others in ways that produce consistent results. That question pulled me into a decade-long exploration of the mind–brain–results connection — and how neuroscience can be applied to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, I bring you the world's leading experts so we can break down complex science — and turn it into practical strategies you can apply immediately for predictable, science-backed outcomes. And that brings us to today's Episode 383 — where we are going back to reconnect to a powerful 6-part series we originally recorded in 2022 around a book that has shaped achievement for generations: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series[i] We used that book as a framework to launch our year, back in 2022, walking chapter by chapter through the principles my mentor, Bob Proctor, studied for over 50 years of his life. Not casually. Not occasionally. But as a daily discipline for creating results — in business, health, relationships, and purpose. That 6-part series was about the basics — the inner mechanics that govern all achievement. And those basics still matter just as much today. What we're doing now is not revisiting this material because it's old. We're revisiting it because it's timeless. PART 3 — From Decision to Momentum Decision • Persistence • The Power of the Mastermind In Part 3 today, of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales study, we move from inner preparation to outer execution. Up to this point, the earlier chapters have shaped belief, certainty, vision, and authority. But results are not created by preparation alone. They are created when inner mastery is followed by decisive action, sustained effort, and collective intelligence. This is where most people stall—and where sales mastery is forged. Decision We begin with Decision, the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates momentum. Successful people decide quickly and change course slowly. In sales, this means committing to your value, your process, and your outcome before the conversation begins—so hesitation never enters the room. Persistence Next comes Persistence, the force that carries decisions through resistance, delay, and rejection. Persistence is not intensity—it is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. In sales, persistence keeps conversations alive, turns “no” into information, and allows momentum to compound long after others have disengaged. The Power of the Mastermind Finally, we arrive at The Power of the Mastermind—where individual effort becomes exponential. When two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose, a third force emerges: clarity, creativity, and certainty launch beyond individual thinking. This chapter reveals why no great achievement—and no sustained sales success—is built alone. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. The Mastermind multiplies you. Together, these three principles turn vision into execution and effort into inevitable results. EP 383 — Think and Grow Rich for Sales where we're applying those same principles through a very specific lens — one I've wanted to explore for a long time. Sales. Not sales as tactics. Not sales as scripts. But sales as the external expression of inner mastery. Because here's the truth: You don't need to be in sales for these principles to work — but if you are in sales, they become a powerful advantage. Why Part 3 Matters Today we're covering Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind — the principles that separate intention from execution. Up until now in this series, (PART 1 and PART 2) we've been building the inner foundation: Thought Desire Faith Autosuggestion Specialized Knowledge Imagination Organized Planning Those chapters shape belief, certainty, authority, and vision. But Part 3 is where things get real. Because: Decision is where hesitation ends. Persistence is where most people quit. The Mastermind is where momentum multiplies. This is the phase where inner mastery must turn into consistent action, even when results are delayed, resistance appears, or confidence wavers. How the 6-Part Series Maps Directly to Sales Mastery Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied intentionally. Each chapter: Upgrades your inner state Shapes how you show up in conversations Influences the certainty others feel around you And determines whether opportunities compound… or stall That's why this series is called: Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich — through a modern neuroscience + sales lens So today, as we move into Decision, Persistence, and The Power of the Mastermind, ask yourself one question: Where in your life — or your sales process — have you been preparing… but not fully deciding? Because once a decision is made — and backed by persistence and you've got the right people to support you — everything begins to move. Let's begin PART 3. Chapter VIII: Decision Core Idea Decision is the moment where intention becomes irreversible. Success is not delayed by lack of ability, knowledge, or opportunity—it is delayed by indecision. Those who succeed decide quickly, commit fully, and change course slowly. In sales (and life), certainty follows decision, not the other way around.   Sales Application Decide before the call who you are, what you stand for, and the value you bring. This starts with you on the inside, and reflects to others on the outside. Eliminate hesitation by committing to the outcome, not the comfort Stop outsourcing decisions to opinions, objections, or fear of rejection Make decisions promptly, then execute consistently without reopening the question Understand that most stalled deals are not about price or timing—they're about your certainty When you (as the leader) decide fully: Your tone steadies Your message sharpens Your presence communicates leadership Buyers feel that decisiveness immediately. Listener Takeaway Indecision leaks certainty. Decision creates forward momentum. You don't get stuck because you chose the wrong path. You get stuck because you never fully chose one at all. Once a decision is made—and all other options are removed—behavior aligns, confidence follows, and results begin to compound.   The Moment Where Commitment Creates Momentum Napoleon Hill opens Chapter 8 on Decision with a striking conclusion drawn from an accurate analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure: “Lack of decision was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of failure.” (CH 8, p. 157, Think and Grow Rich) Hill is clear—this is not theory. It is fact. Those who succeed, he explains, “had the habit of reaching decisions promptly and of changing these decisions slowly, if and when they were changed.” (CH 8, p. 157) In contrast, those who fail hesitate, (have you ever heard a LEADER say “I don't know?) NEVER! They never second-guess, or remain trapped in indecision—and others often mistake their delay for being cautious. Decision Is a Habit, Not a Moment Hill points to Henry Ford as a living example of decisiveness in action. One of Ford's most outstanding qualities, Hill writes, was “his habit of reaching decisions quickly and definitely, and changing them slowly.” (CH 8, p. 158) This distinction matters. Successful people are not reckless—but once they decide, they commit. They do not constantly reopen the question. They move forward. Hill challenges the reader directly: “You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions.” (CH 8, p. 159) Indecision, he argues, is often the result of allowing the opinions of others to dilute our own thinking. The more people we consult, the more fragmented our certainty becomes. Decision Requires Courage Decision, by its nature, demands courage. Hill reminds us that “the great decisions which served as the foundation of civilization were reached by assuming great risks.” (CH 8, p. 160) History is filled with individuals who stepped forward before there was certainty—people who acted without guarantees, yet changed the course of their lives and the world. This truth resonated deeply with me years ago, before I made the decision to move from Toronto to the United States. Around that time, I purchased a poster that still hangs in my office today. It's on the top of my bookshelf, to the right of my desk in my field of view. At the top of this picture is the word COURAGE, followed by a poem attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The poster says- *“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” Make your decisions and NEVER look back. Closing Thought — Chapter VIII: Decision Clarity does not come before the decision. Clarity comes because of the decision. The moment you decide—fully, cleanly, and without retreat—your behavior changes, your energy stabilizes, and your certainty becomes visible to others. That certainty is what moves conversations forward, closes deals, and creates momentum. Indecision keeps you negotiating with fear. Decision puts you back in leadership. Once a decision is made, the path begins to reveal itself—and persistence becomes possible. And that's where we're headed next. Chapter IX: Persistence The Force That Turns Intention Into Inevitability Core Idea Persistence is the sustained application of will over time. It is not intensity. It is not motivation. It is refusal to quit when progress is invisible. This is where we need our belief, our faith and imagination to come into play. Napoleon Hill describes persistence as “to character, what carbon is to steel.” (CH 9, p. 178, TAGR) Without it, even the strongest ideas collapse. With it, ordinary effort becomes extraordinary. Those who succeed are often misunderstood—not because they are reckless, but because they are unwilling to stop. Hill writes that successful people are often seen as “cold-blooded or ruthless,” when in reality, “what they have is willpower, which they mix with persistence.” (CH 9, p. 175) Persistence is the bridge between decision and the results that you attain. Sales Application In sales, persistence is not pressure—it is professional resolve. Persistence keeps you in the conversation after the first “no” It transforms rejection into information to uncover more It replaces emotional reaction with strategic and timely follow-up It conditions you to ask better questions instead of walking away A persistent salesperson does not hear “no” as rejection—they hear it as: “Not now” “Not this way” “Not with this information” So they ask: What changed? What would need to be true for this to move forward? Is timing, budget, or authority the real obstacle? Persistence is what allows a salesperson to: Maintain relationships when deals stall To be able to re-enter conversations when conditions change Be remembered when others disappear Without persistence, opportunities die quietly. With persistence, doors reopen. Strengthening Your Persistence Muscle Persistence is not a personality trait—it is a trained discipline. One of the most powerful exercises I learned while working with Bob Proctor was designed specifically to build persistence into habit. The assignment was simple: Read Chapter 9 Persistence from Think and Grow Rich — every day, for 14 days in a row. Miss one day? You start over at Day 1. Years later, in 2019, Paul Martinelli issued the same challenge to me. I thought it would be easy. It wasn't. Life intervenes. Schedules shift. Distractions will appear during your reading time. One morning, as I was reading early in my office, one of my kids came in not feeling well. I put the book down to help her. The day began—and I missed the chapter. What happened next mattered: I had to remove something else from my schedule to stay committed. That's the lesson. Persistence isn't tested when things are convenient. It's tested when something reasonable tries to knock it off course. Try this challenge yourself. Track every day. Notice what shows up to distract you. You'll learn more about yourself in those 14 days than you ever could have expected. Listener Takeaway Persistence compounds quietly. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't feel dramatic. But over time, it becomes unbeatable. Most people stop just before momentum begins. Persistence is staying in motion long enough for the tide to turn. When to Let Go Persistence is not stubbornness. There are moments when walking away is appropriate—but only after your best effort has been applied. My Dad used to say: “Andrea, what's for you won't go by you.” I've found that to be true. When persistence has been honored—when you've shown up fully, asked the hard questions, followed through consistently—clarity eventually arrives. Sometimes the answer is not yet. Sometimes it's not this. Sometimes it's something better. Force negates. Persistence clarifies. Final Thought — Chapter IX: Persistence Persistence is not heroic in the moment. It is heroic in hindsight. It is the quiet decision to show up again— to follow through again— to believe again— long after most people would have stopped. Without persistence, talent fades. With persistence, effort compounds. And once persistence is in place, the power of the Mastermind becomes unstoppable. That's where we go next. Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind Why Sales Is Never a Solo Game Collective intelligence multiplies results. Core Idea A Mastermind is not a meeting. It is not networking. It is not collaboration for convenience. A Mastermind is the creation of a third force. Napoleon Hill defines it clearly: “No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible, intangible force that may be likened to a third mind.” (CH 10, p. 195, Think and Grow Rich) This chapter reveals that achievement accelerates when two or more minds unite in harmony around a definite purpose. What emerges is a form of collective intelligence—greater than any one individual's thinking. Hill calls this power: “The Master Mind may be defined as coordinated knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.” (CH 10, p. 195) This is where vision gains momentum—and plans finally move. Sales Application In sales, the Mastermind is a force multiplier. It sharpens thinking beyond individual blind spots It accelerates problem-solving when deals stall It stabilizes certainty when confidence wavers It prevents isolation, which quietly erodes persistence Sales is often practiced alone—but mastery is built together. High-performing sales professionals: Test ideas with trusted thinking partners Debrief losses without ego Share language, patterns, objections, and breakthroughs Borrow certainty when needed—and lend it when others falter When you bring your challenges into the right room, clarity emerges faster. As Hill reminds us: “Plans are inert and useless without sufficient power to translate them into action.” (CH 10, p. 193) The Mastermind is that power. Why the Mastermind Works Hill explains this principle through energy: “The human mind is a form of energy.” (CH 10, p. 196) When minds align, energy compounds. I first felt this power in May of 2001, working in the seminar industry, listening to the late Doug Wead speak on what he called “The Third-Party Principle.” He described it as a triple-braided cord—a force formed when two or more people come together around a shared aim. If you've ever been part of a true Mastermind, you know the feeling: Ideas flow differently Certainty increases Problems shrink Creativity replaces competition You don't leave the same way you arrived. Listener Takeaway You do not need to be the smartest person in the room. You need to be in the right room. Progress accelerates when you stop trying to think your way forward alone. One plus one does not equal two. In a Mastermind, one plus one equals three. Have you ever felt this? The creation of a third mind, when speaking with two or more people? It's a powerful experience. How to Create Your Own Mastermind WHO to Invite People who share your values and beliefs People who think differently than you People who challenge assumptions without attacking identity Hill even notes: “Some of the best sources for creating your own Mastermind are your own employees.” (CH 10, p. 200) Seek harmony, not sameness. WHEN to Meet Commit to a consistent cadence (monthly or quarterly) Meet for at least one year Treat it as non-negotiable Momentum requires continuity. WHAT to Notice Over time, you'll observe: A calm certainty replacing mental noise Creativity emerging where frustration once lived New pathways revealed where you saw roadblocks Others will see progress when you see obstacles. That's the power. Historical Proof Hill reminds us: “Henry Ford began his business career under the handicap of poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance…” (CH 10, p. 197) Ford's most rapid growth began when he aligned with Thomas Edison. Modern examples echo the same truth: Bill Gates Steve Jobs Jeff Bezos None built alone. All relied on thinking partners. Final Thought — Chapter X: The Power of the Mastermind No great achievement is the result of isolated brilliance. It is the result of aligned minds, sustained harmony, and shared purpose. Decision commits you. Persistence carries you. But the Mastermind multiplies you. When the right minds come together, progress no longer depends on force— it becomes inevitable. And with that, the formula is complete.

In 1999, Harvard researchers showed participants a video and asked them to count basketball passes. Halfway through, a person in a gorilla suit walked into the center of the frame, beat their chest, and walked off. More than half the participants never saw it. The gorilla was obvious, unmistakable, right there on the screen—and their brains made it completely invisible.This is called inattentional blindness. And it's happening to you right now with money.Your brain processes eleven million bits of information per second. Your conscious mind can handle about forty. That means your neurology is deleting 99.9996% of reality before you ever become aware of it—including money-making opportunities that are passing right in front of you every single day.These are wealth scotomas. Blind spots specifically calibrated to hide financial opportunities from your perception. They were installed in childhood, before you had any say in the matter. They've been running ever since, silently filtering out the very abundance you've been trying to create.This activation is different from anything you've experienced. We're not adding anything to your mind. We're removing the obstructions that have been blocking your natural ability to see opportunity. We're reprogramming your Reticular Activating System—the part of your brain that decides what you notice—to let through what it's been deleting for decades.A wealthy person and a struggling person can walk down the same street, meet the same people, hear the same conversations. One sees opportunity everywhere. The other sees nothing but confirmation of how hard life is. Same reality. Different filters. Different lives.Your filters are about to change. The opportunities that have been invisible are about to become obvious. The wealth that has been hidden in plain sight is about to reveal itself.

In this holiday edition of Look Behind the Look, we unwrap the layers of Terry Gilliam's 1985 film Brazil, a retro futurist fever dream that cleverly disguises its incisive critique of bureaucracy and authoritarianism as a Christmas movie. Join us as we explore the film's rich aesthetics, from its elaborate production design to the campy hair and makeup, revealing how these visuals reflect the emotional machinery of a society struggling under the weight of conformity and denial. Discover how Brazil remains relevant today, echoing our contemporary challenges with digital systems and the normalization of crisis.0:00 - Intro 1:28 - Gilliam After Python: The Architect of Beautiful Nightmares 3:05 - The Look: A World Styled for Breakdown 4:12 - Camp as Survival & Bureaucratic Beauty 5:25 - Imagination as a Last Resort: Sam Dreams 6:18 - The Restaurant Scene: Elegance at the Edge of Collapse 7:05 - When Help Becomes Theater 7:41 - When Emptiness Becomes Violence 8:27 - The Christmas Setting: Festivity as Emotional Camouflage 9:36 - If Brazil Were Made Today 13:27 - Closing Get full access to Look Behind The Look at lookbehindthelook.substack.com/subscribe

On November 1, 1755, the city of Lisbon was devastated by a terrible earthquake, and a new era of urban planning began. The reconstruction of Lisbon was, more or less, the first time that modern planners had the opportunity to transform an urban landscape and bring it into line with their vision of what the future should look like. What shifting tectonic plates did to Lisbon would, in the future, be the job of bulldozers and wrecking balls. We take that for granted now, but we shouldn't. In his new book The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World, my guest Bruno Carvalho tells two histories that our intertwined. One is the story of how histories were planned, built, or rebuilt. But the other is an intellectual history of how cities of the future were imagined. It turns out that those two stories don't intersect as often as you might assume. Bruno Carvalho is a professor at Harvard University, where he teaches courses on cities. He is also the author of Porous City: A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro.

This episode explores the Stoic art of decatastrophizing—learning to meet fear by stripping events down to what they really are, rather than what our imagination makes of them.From Socrates calmly facing death to Seneca's reminder that we suffer more in imagination than in reality, we see how clarity dissolves panic.The practice isn't denial or blind optimism, but disciplined attention to the present moment. With repetition, the Stoics show, fear loses its grip and the mind regains its power.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Money shame is one of the most pervasive and least discussed blocks to abundance. It is the guilt you feel about wanting more. It is the embarrassment you carry about your financial situation, whether you have too little or too much. It is the judgment you place on yourself for caring about money at all. It is the secret belief that there is something wrong with you for desiring wealth, comfort, security, and freedom.  And here is what makes money shame so insidious. It hides. It disguises itself as humility. It masquerades as spirituality. It pretends to be virtue. You might think you are being a good person by not caring about money, by feeling guilty when you have more than others, by downplaying your desires for abundance. But what you are actually doing is blocking the flow. You are telling the universe that you are not worthy of receiving. You are creating a ceiling on what is possible for you.  Today I am going to help you understand where this shame comes from, how it operates in your life, and most importantly, how to release it. In the second half of this episode, I will guide you through a powerful meditation to actually clear this shame from your body, from your energy field, from your subconscious programming. This is not just information. This is transformation.  

In this Dark Moon download, Britten offers an intuitive transmission from the closing edge of the lunar cycle that began with the New Moon in Sagittarius, as the New Moon in Capricorn approaches. Speaking with "one eye closed," she reflects on voice as something enacted not only through words, but through choices - what we say, what we don't say, where we show up, and where we don't - and names how deeply these choices shape our shared reality. Britten explores the shame-based imagination and its impact on time, decision-making, and our capacity to dream, offering a reframe of Saturn that moves beyond discipline and punishment toward repair, maturity, and self-trust. She weaves in a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her creative process, including the tarot archetypes guiding her current work, and invites listeners to consider what becomes possible when imagination is repaired, intuition is trusted, and we allow ourselves to meet the future with greater courage, care, and spaciousness.   Learn More: Britten invites listeners to join her in the 4th installment of Mystics Making Money: Revolutions, Not Resolutions on January 15-18, ending on the new moon in Capricorn, where she'll be teaching her time practices and supporting people in their reorientation as they release 2025 and move into 2026.

We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message!One day, not so long ago, I was simply walking across my living room, when a thought hit me and stuck in my head that there was a wealthy elderly man sitting in his den playing a video board game that he had invented. The board game was somewhat magical and most complex. I stopped in my tracks and thought deeper. I realized that he was a God like figure and the board game was us, here on Planet Earth. We were the result of his invention. That was about it. I smiled and moved on across the room. But the notion stuck with me. I laughed at the thought and wrote it down on a slip of paper: Living In My Video Game.Perhaps several years later, here is the result of that pause in life.Theater of the Imagination is presented by Watchfire Music https://watchfiremusic.com/

In this episode of Extraordinary Living, Roger Morris explores the biblical concepts of imagination and faith. He explains the importance of taking authority over negative thoughts and using your imagination to visualize and conceive the promises of God. Roger draws from various scriptures, including Genesis, Isaiah, Corinthians, and Psalms, to illustrate how imagination can be used positively to align one's thoughts with the word of God. He emphasizes that believers should see themselves living prosperous and healthy lives, as promised in the scriptures, and should actively reject fear and negative imaginations. Roger also shares personal stories and examples to encourage listeners to imagine and believe in the fulfillment of God's promises in their lives.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:14 The Power of Imagination 02:23 Biblical References on Imagination 05:48 Practical Application of Imagination 12:26 The Role of Faith and Tradition 16:53 Personal Testimony and Conclusion 27:13 Invitation to Accept Jesus 28:07 Closing Remarks and Resources Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries:   www.billandroger.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

 The Field Effect: How to Access the Power of Collective Consciousness Something remarkable happens when human beings gather with shared intention. You've felt it at concerts, in stadiums, walking into a room and sensing the energy before anyone speaks. That wasn't your imagination—you were reading the field. In this comprehensive teaching and activation, discover: The science behind morphic resonance and Rupert Sheldrake's groundbreaking research. HeartMath Institute findings on heart coherence and electromagnetic field broadcasting Princeton PEAR lab data and the Global Consciousness Project proving collective fields are measurable How pendulums from Reality Transurfing explain group energy dynamics A five-step technique for accessing collective fields even when alone A powerful activation connecting you to the global field of awakening The field effect is why transformation happens faster in groups. It's why retreats create shifts that years of solo practice don't produce. And it's something you can deliberately access and use. Your individual practice just became exponentially more powerful.

Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) is a special effects man working on low budget movies in New York City when one day, the FBI suddenly comes calling and they have a unique assignment for him.  They would like for him to stage the fake murder of a mobster (Jerry Orbach) whom they recently arrested and will make a witness.  So Rollie takes on this assignment and everything goes as planned.....or DOES it? :o Suddenly the Feds are after HIM and the NYPD is on the trail too lead by Detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy).  And what results is a fun cat-and-mouse thriller with Rollie trying to evade the bad guys with his own unique bag of special effects tricks!  Directed by Robert Mandel (School Ties, The Substitute), this grew into a well-liked cult hit in the '80's eventually spawning both a sequel and inspiring a TV series of the same name. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon  Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: Satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor turned whistleblower, loving mother, writer and author of the book “Unplugged”, artist, jewelry and crafter maker, clothing designer, gardener, content creator, and my dear friend, Brooke Federline In case you're new here or if you need a refresher on Brooke's testimony - here is a short recap and a bit about what we will be talking about today: In the misty landscapes of New Zealand's North Island, where rolling hills meet endless skies, Brooke entered the world amid secrets that would define her extraordinary path. Born to parents entangled in a hidden web of cult influences, her early life was a mosaic of fragmented memories, veiled by amnesia – a protective shield forged in the fires of unimaginable trauma. From the outside, her childhood seemed ordinary: school days filled with fleeting friendships, high school marked by hidden struggles, and a quiet resilience that masked the storms within. Yet, beneath it all simmered a darkness – depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms that whispered of horrors she couldn't yet name.As a young woman in her 20s, Brooke sought escape, relocating to New Zealand's South Island amid escalating chaos she could scarcely recall. Relationships came and went, often imposed by unseen forces, including a coerced union laced with emotional and psychological abuse. She resisted marriage and motherhood, instinctively sensing the world's cruelties – a premonition rooted in buried truths about the world orchestrated by shadowy powers. But life persisted: after turning 30, she welcomed children into her life, a decision that would later bring forth her protective instincts against the very cycles she had endured.It was at university, pursuing psychology and criminal justice with dreams of forensics, that Brooke's world shattered – or rather, awakened. A lecture on the Power and Control Wheel, exposing the wrongs of psychological, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, ignited a seismic shift. "That's been my whole life," she realized, as her mind recoiled from the "normal" she had known. What followed was a breakthrough disguised as a breakdown: vivid "dreams" revealed as real events, dissociation surged like a tidal wave, and fragments of her psyche emerged – alters born from trauma, including echoes of Disney archetypes like Beauty and the Beast, unwitting imprints from mind control programming.Diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Brooke unraveled layers of her past - each memory holding pieces of a puzzle: child sex trafficking, Satanic ritual abuse, and MK ULTRA experiments...On today's episode, Brooke will be diving into healing and recovery with a discussion about breaking mind control, spiritual deliverance, the battle survivors face when getting free, and so much more. If you are new to meeting Brooke, I will have her playlist in the show notes for you to catchup on her previous episodes.BROOKE'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION': https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoojlrL9wVRO2l0-s7Do42gYFNQF9t3diCONNECT WITH BROOKE:YouTube: @brookefederline3109 Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/LettherebeLight3Telegram: https://t.me/BrookeFederlineIG: https://www.instagram.com/brookefederline/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brookie4233CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Support the show

Dr. Michael Ward, Oxford scholar and professor of apologetics at Houston Christian University, didn't just study C. S. Lewis—he lived in his bedroom and study for three years. In this episode, Dr. Ward takes us through his discovery that will change how you read Narnia, as well as Lewis's journey from atheism to faith, his pivotal late-night conversation with Tolkien about Christianity as "the true myth," and why Lewis believed story captures truth better than systematic theology. We'll explore his wrestling with pain and grief, and the imaginative genius behind works like Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and the Ransom trilogy.   Want to dive deeper into Lewis's world? The C. S. Lewis exhibit at Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, closes February 14, 2026. Don't miss your chance to experience it firsthand. Guest bio: Dr. Michael Ward is a theologian and literary scholar with a particular focus on the work of C.

You might not have named it yet. You might have pushed through it, ignored it, told yourself you just need to try harder. But there's an exhaustion underneath everything. A weariness that has nothing to do with sleep.  It's the exhaustion of holding on.  Holding on to how things should be. Holding on to timelines that haven't unfolded the way you planned. Holding on to outcomes you've decided are the only acceptable ones. Holding on to the desperate need to know what's coming next.  Your hands are clenched around your life, and you've been squeezing so long you forgot you were doing it.  This conversation is an invitation to open those hands.  To let go. Not give up—that's different. Not stop caring—that's different too. But to release the grip. To surrender the need to control. To trust something larger than your anxious mind.  The great letting go isn't a single moment. It's a practice. A way of moving through life. A fundamental reorientation of how you relate to existence itself.

Book your 2026 reading at : www.jilljardineastrology.com/shop Buy Jill's Book:  Sacred Sound Formulas to Awaken the Modern Mind:  www.jilljardine.com Neptune in Aries from 2026-2039 marks a powerful new collective cycle where spiritual vision seeks bold, immediate expression. Neptune governs dreams, intuition, imagination, and collective consciousness—along with illusion and confusion—while Aries represents action, courage, individuality, and initiation. Together, they fuse inspired ideals with raw impulse, urging people to act on their visions rather than merely believe in them. Collectively, this transit signals new beginnings in spiritual, creative, and humanistic directions. There is a shift away from passive, Piscean spirituality toward action-oriented spiritual sovereignty, where individuals follow inner knowing rather than external authorities. This may manifest through activism, innovation, creative leadership, and new social or spiritual movements grounded in personal purpose. Charismatic leaders and trailblazers are likely to arise, replacing outdated power structures. Historically, the last Neptune-in-Aries cycle (1862–1875) coincided with ideological upheaval, war, rapid invention, and major spiritual movements—from evangelical revivals to esoteric traditions like Spiritualism and Theosophy. Similar patterns may re-emerge now: visionary breakthroughs, cultural renewal, and technological advances, alongside fanaticism, misinformation, cult dynamics, and conflicts driven by misplaced zeal. On the global stage, Neptune in Aries can dissolve old leadership models and ignite radical shifts in governance, religion, and innovation. While this may bring enlightened reform and pioneering solutions, it also carries risks of authoritarianism, spiritual delusion, media deception, and impulsive reactions to uncertainty. At its best, this transit encourages courageous compassion—turning dreams into action while serving the greater good. At its worst, it can blur truth and inflate egos. The key lesson is discernment: balancing inspiration with grounding, strength with empathy, and individuality with collective responsibility. When integrated wisely, Neptune in Aries ignites a divine creative spark capable of reshaping culture, spirituality, and personal purpose for an entire generation. Here's a summary for the impact on each Zodiac sign but listen to the episode for more details: Aries: A profound identity reset begins. Old roles, relationships, and self-images dissolve so you can redefine who you truly are. Intuition and creativity increase, but clarity and health must be prioritized to avoid drifting or burnout. This is a powerful period for spiritual leadership and personal reinvention—stay grounded. Taurus: A deeply introspective cycle focused on release, healing, and spiritual integration. Past patterns surface for closure. Ideal for therapy, meditation, and creative work, though escapism should be avoided. Surrender leads to renewal. Gemini: Your social circles and future goals evolve. You may find your true tribe, become involved in activism, or align with visionary groups. Inspiration is high, but discernment is essential to avoid idealizing people or movements. Cancer: Career paths may dissolve or shift dramatically, pushing you toward work aligned with your soul purpose. Disillusionment can lead to meaningful reinvention. Avoid over-giving at work and maintain emotional boundaries. Leo: Your worldview expands through travel, education, or spiritual study. New philosophies and adventures beckon. Stay discerning—some opportunities or teachings may not be what they seem. Virgo: Deep psychological and financial transformation unfolds. Old fears, attachments, and money patterns dissolve. This is a powerful rebirth cycle—clarity, boundaries, and conscious financial choices are key. Libra: Relationships are tested and redefined. You may experience spiritual connections or idealize partners. Balance, mutual exchange, and healthy boundaries are essential to avoid co-dependence or disappointment. Scorpio: Daily routines, work life, and health need conscious restructuring. Intuitive approaches to wellness and service are beneficial, but consistency and practical systems are crucial to avoid burnout or chaos. Sagittariius: A fertile period for artistic expression, romance, and passion projects. Imagination and inspiration flourish. Avoid unrealistic expectations in love or creative ventures. Capricorn: Your sense of home, family, and emotional security evolves. Changes in living situations or family responsibilities may arise. Healing ancestral patterns and creating new foundations bring long-term stability. Aquarius: Your voice becomes more intuitive, creative, and influential. Writing, teaching, and visionary communication are favored. Stay mindful of misinformation or unclear thinking. Pisces: Your relationship with money, self-worth, and material security shifts. New income visions may emerge, but practicality is essential. Spiritual values reshape how you define succe Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We are quite certain of your ascension, and yet we know that you are all choosing different paths to get to the same place. We support you no matter what path you choose as an individual, and we know that every path has merit, has validity, has a purpose. What we do for all of you is to light the way so that you can see that no matter what path you are on, you know where you are going. You know that there is an end point that you are reaching for. You cannot get off of the path that you are on at this point. You have chosen ascension. You have chosen to remember more of who you really are while still in this physical body, and you have chosen to explore a unique path that would allow you to know yourself more through the walking of that path. And when we say ‘more,' we are talking about the true you, the real you, the whole you. Many of you want to know who you were in a past life and where you are from in terms of other star systems in the galaxy, but we are talking about the true you as a Source Energy Being. And everything that you encounter along your path is an opportunity to know yourself more experientially as you truly are. Of course, you have desires and you are meant to have desires, and those desires do serve you and serve you well. They keep you going. They give you something to reach for, something to achieve. And of course, you want to have something to do while in the physical realm, exploring that reality and that planet and that dimension. And so, you have your desires. In the pursuit of your desires, you will be faced with what you need to face in order to grow. Therefore, when you stumble and when you fall, some of you question whether you are on the right path, and some of you wonder if you should be pursuing what it is that you are in pursuit of.  This can be found on Daniel's website at https://www.danielscranton.com Get a private channeled reading with Daniel & The 9D Arcturian Council here: https://danielscranton.com/session
