Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm thrilled to have back on the show for a second time: MK ULTRA and Project Stargate survivor and whistleblower, targeted individual, filmmaker, podcaster, musician, athlete and former Virginia Tech all-American running back, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and hometown hero from the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA: Tommy Edwards aka: Touchdown Tommy!A little bit about Tommy if you are new here, if you missed his debut on ‘The Imagination', or if you need a quick recap: Born in February 1974 in Radford, Virginia - a historic town cradled by one of the world's oldest rivers - Tommy entered a world shadowed by grief yet illuminated by legacy. His father, Ken Edwards, a Virginia Tech Hall of Famer who wore jersey #33 and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, carried the weight of family tragedies that shaped a dynasty of determination. Tommy, inheriting that same number and spirit, would become a beacon for thousands.As a boy, Tommy faced challenges - dyslexia, feeling like an outsider, family struggles - but he discovered fire on the field. At Radford High School, he exploded as a consensus All-American running back and first-team All-State linebacker. In his junior and senior years alone, he rushed for nearly 4,000 yards and scored an astonishing 57 touchdowns - a record that still echoes through the valleys. Recruited by powerhouses, he chose Virginia Tech in 1992, following his father's footsteps.In 1993, as a redshirt freshman, Touchdown Tommy burst onto the national stage. He scored 10 touchdowns (including four in a single game against Pittsburgh), led the nation in scoring for six weeks, and helped propel the Hokies to a top-15 finish and a bowl victory. He and his father became the first father-son duo in NCAA history to score rushing touchdowns in bowl games - a legacy of grit and glory. Headlines screamed his name; fans chanted "Touchdown Tommy"; the program ascended from mediocrity to dominance, setting the foundation for future championships.Tommy's story deepened into a profound journey of awakening. Repressed memories surfaced of childhood encounters with Project Stargate, MK ULTRA, and lifelong targeting as a gifted "star child." He endured gangstalking, electronic harassment, false hospitalizations, and a terrifying SWAT standoff - yet he emerged stronger, speaking truth against corruption, exploitation in sports, and hidden programs. Diagnosed with advanced CTE symptoms (brain scans showing severe damage that should have left him institutionalized), he battles daily with severe symptomology, but his spirit remains unshakeable.

Writer and ecologist Sophie Strand thinks at a scale that can feel dizzying—in the best way. In a single conversation, she can move from the chemical structure of cells to mushroom spores, from ancient weather gods to mycorrhizal fungi, from Bronze Age collapse to the slow intelligence of soil.In this episode of Wonder Cabinet, we talk with Strand about wonder that doesn't float upward but roots downward—into bodies, ecosystems, decay, and deep time. We begin with her essay “Your Body Is an Ancestor,” published shortly before Halloween and the Day of the Dead, and follow her imagery into our shared prehistoric past. The conversation also explores how Strand's experience of chronic illness reshaped her understanding of nature, selfhood, and health. Rather than seeing the sick body as broken, she turns to ecological metaphors: spider webs, soil structures, caterpillars dissolving inside cocoons. What might it mean to understand ourselves not as machines that fail, but as landscapes that change?Along the way, we talk about fantasy and “romantasy,” Tolkien, Harry Potter, Dramione fan fiction and communal storytelling rituals. This is a conversation about wonder with dirt under its fingernails: embodied, mythic, ecological, and deeply alive to the cycles of death and regeneration that bind us all.---Substack: "Your Body is an Ancestor": https://sophiestrand.substack.com/p/your-body-is-an-ancestorSophie Strand's website: https://sophiestrand.com/You can follow her work on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmogyny/Follow her on Substack: https://substack.com/@sophiestrandOrder her memoir: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sophie-strand/the-body-is-a-doorway-a-memoir/9780762487417/?lens=running-press---Chapters:00:00:00 Meet Sophie Strand00:04:34 Body as Ancestor00:10:08 Roots of Sin00:18:21 Spores and Consciousness00:27:49 Stories We Can't Explain00:35:39 Science as Wonder---If you love Wonder Cabinet, sign up for email updates and never miss an episode. https://wondercabinetproductions.com/

If money is actively seeking you, why hasn't more of it arrived? Because you're invisible to it. You've made yourself invisible. Through your thoughts, your beliefs, your energy, your relationship with wealth — you've been sending signals that make you undetectable to the money that's trying to find you. This isn't blame. This isn't about what you did wrong. It's about what you didn't know. No one taught you that wealth operates on frequency. No one explained that your beliefs about money create an energetic signature that either attracts or repels.

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.One of the first signs of recognition a new mother looks for in her infant is - a smile. Look! She's smiling at me! Yes! Baby sees you. Baby recognizes you.From earliest days we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Remember what we missed in the COVID time with masks masking our smiles? Sure, we crinkled our eyes to signal a smile but it wasn't the same as receiving a smile from another human. Sometimes the tone of our voice was a good substitute. The “music of the spoken word” stood in for our smile. We did the best we could with what we had. Like a smile, the "music of the spoken word" brings written text to life with inflection, pause, tone, emphasis, and cadence. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but the human voice lends expression and emotional meaning.I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope, delight and imagination, as well as thoughts to ponder, stories to share, a practical tip to lighten and brighten your day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast episodes. My voice is me smiling at you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

EVEN MORE about this episode!Did your soul choose this life—and its challenges—before you were born? Join Julie Ryan and developmental psychologist Robert Atkinson, PhD, as they explore pre-birth planning, destiny, déjà vu, and how ancient myths reveal the deeper purpose behind your life's journey. Through powerful spiritual stories and folklore— including tales of souls receiving their life path before birth—they explore whether experiences like déjà vu may be echoes of a greater design meant to guide our growth and awakening.This episode dives into myths and sacred stories not as literal history, but as profound psychological and spiritual maps. Dr. Atkinson reveals how timeless narratives—from Jonah and the whale to Gilgamesh and Odysseus—share a universal structure rooted in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, offering a blueprint for transformation that transcends culture and time. These stories, he explains, are invitations to wholeness—calling us to face trials, claim meaning, and evolve beyond duality.Together, Julie and Dr. Atkinson explore how imagination, community, meditation, prayer, and spiritual guidance help us interpret these stories in a modern world overflowing with information but starving for wisdom. This rich conversation will change how you view your life story—inviting you to see your challenges not as obstacles, but as sacred signposts guiding you toward purpose, unity, and deeper consciousness.Guest Biography:Robert Atkinson, PhD, is an award-winning author, educator, and developmental psychologist whose work bridges storytelling, personal transformation, and the evolution of consciousness. He is the author or co-editor of more than a dozen influential books, including The Way of Unity: Essential Principles and Preconditions for Peace (2025), A New Story of Wholeness, The Story of Our Time, Year of Living Deeply, and Mystic Journey, earning multiple Gold and Silver Nautilus Book Awards for his contributions to unitive and evolutionary thought. Dr. Atkinson holds a PhD in cross-cultural human development from the University of Pennsylvania with a postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Chicago, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Southern Maine, and is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in life story interviewing, personal myth-making, and soul-centered development. He is the director of StoryCommons, founder of One Planet Peace Forum, a member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award as a Visionary Leader from the Visioneers International Network.Episode Chapters:(0:00:01) - Soul's Purpose and Life's Journey(0:12:24) - The Power of Myths and Legends(0:26:42) - The Power of Stories and Imagination(0:37:23) - The Power of Parables and Healing(0:55:43) - The Path to Wholeness➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

This Episode Is Sponsored By The Soul Desire Challenge: https://www.thinkandgrowrichworkshop.com/challenge Here's something nobody tells you about imagination: it's either building your future or quietly sabotaging it. Most entrepreneurs have turned imagination into a bedtime story—vision boards, manifestation rituals, and visualizing outcomes. Then they wonder why nothing moves forward. The problem isn't imagination itself. It's how you're using it. In this episode, Sean Osborn breaks down The Imagination Trap—why your brain resists unfamiliar effort, and how elite performers use mental rehearsal to train their nervous system before reality demands execution. This is neuroscience-backed, performance-tested, and immediately actionable. --- WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✓ The Fatal Flaw in Traditional Visualization Why imagining success actually keeps you stuck—and what your brain is really screaming for instead. ✓ What Olympic Athletes Actually Visualize Spoiler: It's not standing on the podium. It's the breath before the dive, the muscle tension in the turn, the split-second decision under pressure. ✓ The Fast:OS vs. Slow:OS Framework How your reactive brain and strategic brain work together—and why most people only train one of them. ✓ Sean's Personal Rehearsal Practice The exact mental rehearsal process Sean uses before every launch, difficult conversation, and high-stakes moment. ✓ The 5-Minute Action Step A simple practice you can do today to remove resistance from any task you've been avoiding. ✓ Why "Visualization Doesn't Work" for Most People The one thing missing from every manifestation practice—and how to fix it immediately. --- KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: "Visualization doesn't work because you want something. It works because your brain rehearses it." "Your brain doesn't resist success. Your brain resists unfamiliar effort." "Imagination isn't magic. It's rehearsal. And rehearsal removes resistance." "Most people use imagination to escape reality. Elite performers use it to prepare for reality." "When you visualize outcomes only, your nervous system stays untrained. When you visualize execution, your nervous system gets familiar with the work." --- FEATURED INSIGHTS: • Napoleon Hill's "workshop of the mind" concept—and how it got corrupted into vision boards • Michael Jordan on expectation vs. wishful thinking • Modern neuroscience on how your brain can't distinguish between vividly imagined experience and real experience • Why the same neural circuits activate during mental rehearsal as during actual performance • The difference between confidence and conditioning --- ACTION STEP: Pick one task you've been avoiding. Set a 5-minute timer. Close your eyes and mentally walk through DOING it successfully—not perfectly, but calmly and competently. Feel the resistance in your body. Watch it soften as your brain realizes: "Oh. We can handle this." Then do the task immediately after. No delay. No negotiation. This is how imagination becomes leverage. --- WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR: → Entrepreneurs who feel stuck despite "doing all the mindset work" → High performers who want science-backed mental preparation techniques → Anyone who's tried visualization and decided it "doesn't work" → Business owners avoiding difficult conversations or uncomfortable tasks → Athletes, creators, and leaders who want to train their nervous system for execution --- RESOURCES MENTIONED: • Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill • Michael Jordan interviews on mental preparation • Research on neural pathway activation during mental rehearsal • The You:OS framework (Fast:OS vs. Slow:OS) --- CONNECT WITH SEAN: Instagram: @ThinkingBig Coaching Twitter: @seanosborn LinkedIn: Sean Osborn Website: thinkingbigpodcast.com --- SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: If this episode shifted something for you, please leave a 5-star review and share it with one person who needs to hear this message. Type TAGR in the comments or tag Sean on social media if you're committing to rehearsing success before you execute. New episodes drop every [DAY] on all podcast platforms.

Imagination, storytelling, and the human voice are at the heart of this conversation I shared with voice actor and coach Linda Bearman. We talked about her journey from early acting to decades in voiceover, why audio drama is finding new life, and what it really takes to build a career in a changing industry shaped by home studios and AI. Linda offered honest insight into training, discipline, and the business side of voice work, along with a clear reminder that technology cannot replace lived experience, emotional truth, or imagination. More than anything, this episode is about staying human, staying kind, and following the passion that brings stories to life, no matter how fast the world changes. Highlights: 00:10 – Hear why sounding natural and emotionally present matters more than performance tricks in voice acting. 02:52 – Learn why audio drama is resurging and what today's audiences are craving from storytelling again. 10:48 – Understand how voiceover evolved into a true craft and why it demands respect, discipline, and training. 20:17 – Get a clear look at how AI has already changed the voiceover industry and where human voices still hold the edge. 30:18 – Discover why imagination is a muscle that must be trained to bring stories to life through audio alone. 55:22 – Learn why preserving classic radio techniques is essential to developing the next generation of voice actors. About the Guest: Linda Bearman has amassed decades of experience in the performing arts beginning as a child actress and continuing into adulthood. Her career was enriched by studies and performances in the US and abroad working with legendary actors from prestigious theatre's including; The Arena Stage (Washington D.C.), The Actors Studio (NYC), The National Theatre of Great Britain and The Old Vic (UK). After obtaining her degree in Acting, Linda continued performing on stage and screen until moving to Los Angeles where she transitioned into TV production working for King World Productions on shows; The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Later, while working for Landmark Productions she was offered a position at the esteemed commercial talent agency, SBV,Inc (Sutton, Barth & Vennari). Becoming a VO agent was a pivotal point in Linda's career as it was there that Linda discovered her passion for voiceover, an art form that perfectly aligned with her acting background and business acumen. Following seven years at SBV, she relocated to Utah and worked in the casting department of Leucadia Film Corp. while also voicing regional radio and TV commercials. Recognizing the need for a professional full service talent agency in Salt Lake City, she established, co-owned and operated the successful TMG,Inc. (Talent Management Group) in its first decade of business. Her enthusiasm for developing talent led her to become a full-time VO coach, mentoring actors in performance techniques, branding, marketing, and demo production of which several earned industry recognitions. She stays up to date with the latest industry developments and actively shares it with her clients. Linda is honored to serve as a judge for the annual international SOVAS Arts Awards (Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) and delights in performing live recreations of radio shows from the "Golden Age" with REPS (Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound) in Seattle, WA each year.

What if everything you've been taught about money is backwards? What if instead of you chasing money, figuring out money, strategizing about money, trying to crack the code of money from the outside. You simply asked money itself? What if money could speak? What if it had preferences? What if it knew exactly why it flows toward some people and away from others, and was willing to share that information directly with anyone who actually listened? This might sound strange at first. Money as conscious. Money as aware. Money as something that can communicate. Because every ancient culture understood that everything carries consciousness. Everything. The rivers, the stones, the wind, the fire—and yes, the mediums of exchange that humans created to represent value and energy. Money isn't just paper and metal and numbers on a screen. Money is crystallized human attention. Concentrated life force. Stored intention that billions of people have poured their energy into for thousands of years. Anything that receives that much human consciousness... becomes conscious itself. And today, we're going to open a channel. We're going to let money speak. We're going to receive a download directly from the source.

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.
