One of the most famous writers of the 20th century, C. S. Lewis was a scholar of medieval literature, an influential Christian thinker and a supremely gifted storyteller. A professor at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis is perhaps best known for his Chronicles of Narnia – stories which captured the imagination of millions with their blend of spiritual depth and swashbuckling adventure. But how were the seeds of the magical world of Narnia first planted? How did Lewis' unconventional personal life, and the writers and scholars with whom he spent his days, influence his work? And what part did his complex relationship with faith play in the stories that still enchant adults and children around the world? This is a Short History Of C.S. Lewis. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Dr Michael Ward from the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oxford, and author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis.

Over the last thirty years, Latin America has undergone an unprecedented wave of reparations targeting victims of political violence during military regimes, Indigenous and Afro-Latin groups affected by historical processes of dispossession, and citizens suffering from environmental harm. Reparations prompt us to face uncomfortable pasts and in so doing, create conditions for imagination of multiple futures. In representing the experiences and hopes of those affected by political violence in El Salvador and Argentina, environmental harm in Guatemala and Peru, and colonial dispossession in Chile and Bolivia, reparations are built upon conflictive forms of future imagination, translation of harm and new forms of belonging to and beyond the nation state, which reifies as much as challenges state authority over the promises of actual repair. In today's Latin American political debate, hopes for justice and democracy remain anchored to the question of the kinds of future that can be imagined through and after reparation. Piergiorgio Di Giminiani, Helene Risør, and Karine Vanthuyne discuss their edited volume, The Futures of Reparations in Latin America: Imagination, Translation, and Belonging (Rutgers UP, 2026) Piergiorgio Di Giminiani is an associate professor in anthropology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He is the aut0hor of Sentient Lands: Indigeneity, Property, and Political Imagination in Neoliberal Chile and co-editor of Theorizing Relations in Indigenous South America. Helene Risør is a teaching associate professor in anthropology and visiting research fellow at Copenhagen University. Professor Risør is also a senior researcher at the Millennium Institute for Research on Violence and Democracy based in Chile. Professor Karine Vanthuyne is professor in Anthropology at the University of Ottawa. Professor Vanthuyne is the author of La presence d'un passé de violences: mémoires et identités autochtones dans le Guatemala postgénocide, as well as co-editor of Power through Testimony: Residential schools in the age of reconciliation in Canada. Shodona Kettle is a PhD candidate at the Institute of the Americas, University College London. Her research explores demands for reparations in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Angel Reiki School isn't just a class—it's a 3-in-1 certification. I'm going to certify you as an Angel Messenger, Medium, and Energy Healer all in one weekend. I'm handing you the exact business roadmap I used to build my own practice from the ground up. No more guessing how to find clients or how to structure your sessions. You'll leave with the high-vibration tools to hear the Angels clearly and the professional blueprint to build a heart-centered career. IN-PERSON TRAINING: Join Julie in person on April 10, 11, and 12 in Oak Brook, Illinois. Experience the high-vibrational energy of our 3-in-1 certification program (Angel Messenger, Medium, and Energy Healer). ONLINE TRAINING: Prefer to learn from home? Our next online session begins April 1st. REGISTER: Secure your soul's seat at theangelmedium.com. QUESTIONS? Reach out directly to Julie at julie@theangelmedium.com. Episode Summary Hello Beautiful Souls! I love you so much! Welcome to the Angels and Awakening Podcast, Pray and Be Wealthy series. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius, here to uplift, inspire, and help you give yourself permission to be blessed beyond your wildest imagination. In this episode, we are shifting our energetic frequency to recognize a profound truth: You are a magnet for miracles. Many of us have been conditioned to "hunt" for success, but a magnet doesn't shout—it is silent. By quieting the mental chatter and returning to the present moment, you activate your natural design to receive the bounty of Heaven. We're diving deep into the "What Ifs" that expand your capacity: What if every challenge is actually a "setup" for a miracle? What if you don't have to generate your own power, but simply plug into the Source of all light? Join me as we breathe in miracles and give ourselves the courageous "Yes" required to step into the abundance God has already created for us. Key Spiritual Takeaways & Divine Truths: The Magnetic Design: You don't have to "do" anything to be magnetic; you just have to "be." The bounty of the universe is already rushing toward you. The Power of Now: Magnetism only happens in the "now." You cannot be magnetic in the past or the future. Presence is your power. Shifting the Lens: Train your mind to stop looking for "what's wrong" and start looking for "what's possible." Intuition as a Compass: Miracles begin when you go inside. Your intuition is the direct map to the blessings intended for your life. Collective Blessing: Your magnetism doesn't just benefit you—it affects the field of everyone around you. When you are blessed, the world is blessed. Soul Affirmations for Receiving: My intuition is the compass that leads me to my miracles. I don't have to chase what was created for me; I simply have to stay open. I give myself permission to be blessed beyond my imagination. I am safe in my abundance; I am safe in my joy. I am a magnet for miracles, and today, I am ready to receive. Connect with Julie Book a Session: Ready to hear directly from your Angels and loved ones? Book a private reading at theangelmedium.com.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating trend of "kidults," adults who are rediscovering their love for toys and play. Dr. Kathy discusses how companies like Hasbro are tapping into this nostalgia driven market, with adults investing in intricate Lego sets, trendy plush toys, and even matching outfits with their American Girl dolls. We delve into the implications of this phenomenon on adult culture and consumer behavior, highlighting how play is not just for kids anymore. Sponsored by Creating a Masterpiece, the episode also emphasizes the importance of encouraging creativity in children through art projects and trainings. Join us as we unpack the intersection of play, nostalgia, and creativity in today's society.
You are all imagination. You do not use your imagination as if it was a tool to manifest your desires. And if, in imagination, you are still "manifesting" your desire, then you are not the person already being who you want to be. This is what I am discussing in detail in this podcast.

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.
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. Her father laughed and casually admitted it was the previous owner of the house — and that others had seen him too.So if she didn't imagine him… Why did her memory wait years to come back?#RealGhostStories #ChildhoodEncounter #FullBodyApparition #HauntedHouse #ParanormalMemory #TrueGhostStory #Apparition #Ghost #Paranormal #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?
