In Visions of the Divine (Sophia Institute Press), Catholic evangelist, author, and a top Wall Street executive STEPHEN F. AUTH, reunites the art of the Eucharist with the Eucharistic liturgy itself. Much splendid art adorns and magnificently beautifies Churches throughout the globe, a phenomenathat came under great stress during the Reformation, and especially under JOHN CALVIN. "Calvin, especially, was very much opposed to [Church art]," explains AUTH, in this interview with JOHN AIDAN BYRNE. To order Visions of theDivine: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/29X...Other Books by STEVE AUTH: Pilgrimage to the Museum: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/PHW...Missionary of Wall Street: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/51G...Indeed, much of this early Church art was separated from the context of the Mass for which it was created many centuries ago and is relegated now to museums sprinkled around the world. Along with his co-authors Evelyn Auth andMsgr. Roger Landry, Steve leads the reader on a worldwide pilgrimage to some of the most spectacular and moving artistic masterpieces created over the millennia to help clergy and laity alike penetrate more deeply into the Eucharistic mystery. Journeying to museums and churches in nearly twenty cities across the United States and Europe, the authors will guide you through the liturgy of the Mass in ways you may never have experienced. Whether you attend church out of obligation, for the sense of community you find there, or for the Eucharistic presence itself, Visions of the Divine will help you make these experiences richer, more vibrant, and more fulfilling. And if you've never attended a Roman Catholic Mass and are curious about what happens there, Visions will give you an experience guaranteed to leave you thirsting for more. Narrated in the author's simple, emotive style, Visions of the Divine presents you with dozens of colorful images of thought-provoking art that will immerse you in each element of the Mass at a deeper and more profound level, including: How the simple act of making the Sign of the Cross, which the average Catholic does eight times during the liturgy, can make you cry Quieting your mind to listen more actively to the Word of God and to imagine yourself in the moment as the Word is proclaimed and the author guides you through some of the Scriptures' most iconic messages Imagining the Apostles' Creed as it was carved and painted into one of Europe's most colorful Catholic churches. Meditating on a lasting image of eternity while the collection basket is passed — a practice that will forever change how you think about this relatively prosaic element of the liturgy Reliving the sacrifice and triumph of Christ on Calvary during the Eucharistic prayers through some of the greatest artistic masterpieces ever created. Following the path of biblical figures, such as Mary Magdalene, the prodigal son, and St. Paul himself, to freely receive Christ's healing mercy, forgiveness, peace, and love at Mass Experiencing the sacrament of Holy Communion for what it truly is — communion with God Himself. How to re-enter the world following the Mass with visual images in your head that will make you a more effective evangelist From Rembrandt, El Greco, and Van Gogh to Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Raphael; from Velaquez, Picasso, and Dali to lesser-known greats, such as Pontormo, Masaccio and Drolling, the array of breathtaking art in Visions of the Divine will enlighten your path to communion with God. You will witness our Father's love for you and be encouraged to let yourself be loved by Him within the Eucharistic mystery.
In this optimistic yet practical assessment of how postsecondary education can evolve to meet the needs of next-generation learners, Kathleen deLaski reimagines what higher education might offer and whom it should serve. In the wake of declining enrollment and declining confidence in the value of a college degree, she urges a mindset shift regarding the learning routes and credentials that best prepare students for post-high-school success. Who Needs College Anymore draws on a decade of research from the Education Design Lab, and interviews of educational experts, college and career counselors, teachers, employers, and learners. Kathleen deLaski applies human-centered design to higher education reform. She highlights ten top principles based on user feedback and considers how well they are being enacted by colleges. She urges institutions to better attend to the needs of new-majority learners, including people from low- or moderate-income backgrounds, people of color, first-generation students, veterans, single mothers, rural students, part-time attendees, and neurodivergent students. She finds ample opportunity for colleges to support learners via alternative pathways to marketable knowledge, including skills-based learning, apprenticeships, career training, and other types of workplace learning. Our guest is: Kathleen deLaski, who spent twenty years as a journalist, including time as ABC News White House correspondent. In the second half of her career, she has focused on education reform, cofounding or founding nonprofits including the Education Design Lab. She is a senior advisor to the Project on Workforce at Harvard University, and is an adjunct professor at George Mason University. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a developmental editor for humanities scholars and social scientists at all stages of their careers. She is the producer and show host of the Academic Life podcast, and writes the Academic Life newsletter, found here Playlist for listeners: Get Real and Get In How To College The Two Keys to Student Retention The Role of Community Colleges in Higher Education Show Them You're Good Education Behind The Wall Graduate School Myths and Misconceptions Welcome to Academic Life, the podcast for your academic journey—and beyond!

Most people don't want to hear this...Because imagining your doctor saying you're okay...Could be the very thing keeping you sick…And imagining that way just might even be making things worse…You've gotta begin here: https://IdentityBasedManifesting.comSo I get the email…“Mr Twenty Twenty, I go to the doctor Tuesday. Will you imagine I get good news?”That's the Test Trap.It sounds sweet, but you are still orbiting the problem.You're chasing test results…You imagine…Being told- the problem - is no longer - a problem.And that - almost always - creates stress - struggle - and FUTURE PROBLEMS.So when someone asks me to imagine - positive test results, here's EXACTLY what I do:I don't imagine their doctor visit.I don't imagine their test results.I imagine their friends smiling…And them smiling back.Not because they got an “all clear” from the doctor.But because of the way they're living life.Because they are now actually doing…What they would have loved to do…But couldn't do before…MISSION IMPOSSIBLE DETAILS BELOW!My real life “hip replacement” story.Imagine stabbing pain - every time you take a step….That was my way of life for a few years….They told me - not one - but two hip replacements were in my future.I need one now, and I'll have to get the other one later.They wanted me to look forward to that. “Because you won't be in pain anymore….”I was living on painkillers.I had two walking sticks handy at all times.And I wore the rubber tips off of them at least twice a month, trying to walk the dogs.That was then, this is now…And most people who knew me then, who I see me at the gym now….They assume I've had a hip replacement.What happened?I didn't imagine the doctor being amazed….Or giving me “positive test results”…I didn't imagine “not hurting anymore.”I imagined - I experienced me - as the Kung Fu King.Because I love….A absolutely adore….I deeply enjoy - doing Kung Fu….So back at the cottage…December 25th, 2023…I was exploring why I wasn't healing….Because even though I know this stuff, why was I continuing to struggle…And I realized - I was trying to change my hip….I was trying to improve my life or at least maintain function.And that my IDENTITY as a survivor - was causing all that.Because I was obstacle-oriented.I was trying to imagine a world without the problem and the pain.And all that changed - in the twinkle of an eye.When I fully explored and experienced - the identity of being The Kung Fu King.Can you feel my joy…Having gone from crippled with a cane…To fighting fit.Being The Kung Fu King, and teaching kung fu again.Why Identity Beats BeliefAt least one a week I hear something like….“I'd love to know more about you and what you do…”They want to know - about my Kung Fu….The want to know - about me….And they smile, when I say, “Buy me a coffee. Let's chat.”Because life is not about people being happy about your test results.Life is about friends, family, and “future friends” appreciating you and the dance you dance.And the dance is determined by your identity.For me, “Kung Fu King!”I invite you to explore Identity Based Manifesting.Mr Twenty TwentyPS. Stop making mind movies about what confirms you are “not sick.” Start imagining - REALLY EXPERIENCING - who you choose to be. What gives you joy - energy - passion. That's where freedom is found. Let's nail your “Kung Fu King!”PS #2. You've gotta begin here: https://IdentityBasedManifesting.com.I had to stop being who I was being…And REALLY open up to a whole new way of life. I feel reborn. I feel alive again. Imagine that!After all those years, after all those tears. What if it were true. What if Neville was right? Join us!

Have you ever wondered why it feels harder to build a business as a woman? It's not just you, and Anna Gifty has the stats to prove it. This conversation will explain exactly why… and what we can do about it. Anna is a Harvard-trained economist and the author of The Double Tax, a bold new book that breaks down the invisible costs women—especially women of color—pay just to participate in society. But what makes this conversation essential for entrepreneurs? Anna shows how these “taxes” sneak into your business, your brand, your pricing, your funding, your time, and what you can do to push back. From the cost of motherhood to beauty standards in the workplace to why generational wealth-building still feels out of reach, this episode is a masterclass in economic empowerment. And it's not just theory; Anna gives us the tools to change things. If you're building a business and wondering why it still feels this hard or you want to be part of rewriting the rules, this conversation is your permission slip and your playbook.

A return conversation with Andy Hines about his book, Imagining After Capitalism.
BONUS: Captain David Marquet's Guide to Becoming Your Own Best Coach In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into Captain David Marquet's latest book "Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions." Captain Marquet, renowned for transforming the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine to the best in the fleet, shares powerful insights on psychological distancing and how stepping outside ourselves can dramatically improve our decision-making abilities. Make sure you also check the previous episode with Captain Marquet, where we discuss the key lessons from his book: Turn The Ship Around! A very often referred book on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast. The Genesis of Distancing "What I really needed was people to think, not just comply, not just do what they were told." Captain Marquet traces the origins of his distancing concept back to his submarine experience. After realizing that giving orders gave people "a pass on thinking," he developed a system where crew members would say "I intend to..." instead of waiting for commands. However, he noticed that officers would sometimes make decisions that were good for their department but not optimal for the submarine as a whole. This led him to ask different questions - like having the engineer sit in the captain's chair and think from that perspective. The breakthrough came when he started asking himself, "What would my six-month-from-now self want me to do today?" The Three B's of Better Decision Making "The problem with your decision making isn't gathering more market data. The problem is your internal, your egoic biases that just come from the fact that you view the decision from inside your own head." Marquet introduces the "3 B's of better decision making": Be someone else, be somewhere else, be sometime else. These psychological distancing techniques help overcome the limitations of our "immersed self" - the version of us trapped in immediate pressures, deadlines, and ego-driven concerns. When we distance ourselves temporally (thinking as our future self), socially (thinking as someone else), or spatially (imagining being somewhere else), we access what psychologists call our "distanced self," which aligns more closely with our ideal self and core values. The Jeff Bezos Example "When I'm 80, when am I going to regret more? Am I going to regret trying this idea and failing or not trying the idea?" Marquet shares how Jeff Bezos used temporal distancing when deciding whether to leave his Wall Street job to start Amazon. By imagining himself at 80 looking back, Bezos was able to see past immediate concerns like his upcoming bonus and rent payments to focus on what would truly matter in the long term. This shift in perspective transforms how our brain processes decisions - from viewing them as "scary change" to considering them through the lens of potential regret. Practical Applications for Teams "I want you to imagine that a team in Singapore is going to work on the same kind of project next month. What would we want them to know?" The distancing technique has powerful applications for team retrospectives and decision-making. Instead of asking "What could we have done better?" (which triggers defensiveness), Marquet suggests reframing as helping a future team in another location. This approach employs all three B's simultaneously: Be someone else: Helping another team rather than critiquing yourself Be sometime else: Focusing on future improvement rather than past mistakes Be somewhere else: Imagining the team in a different location removes personal attachment Becoming Your Own Coach "You become your own friend, you become your own coach." Marquet emphasizes that leaders cannot effectively coach others until they learn to coach themselves. He challenges leaders who want their teams to change by asking, "What have you changed recently?" The coach perspective provides the elevated view needed to see the whole field rather than being immersed in the immediate action. Like a sports coach who doesn't feel the hits but sees the strategy, our "coach self" can provide objective guidance to our "player self." The Language of Leadership "The people who said 'you can do it' exerted more energy and felt better than the people who said 'I can do it.'" Building on his previous work in "Leadership is Language," Marquet demonstrates how changing from first-person to second or third-person language creates psychological distance. Studies show that athletes performing endurance tests while saying "you can do it" outperformed those saying "I can do it." This simple language shift helps separate us from the immersed self and provides a slight but meaningful perspective advantage. The Intel Transformation Story "What if we got fired? And the board brought in new people to run the company. What would the new people do?" Marquet shares the pivotal moment when Intel founders Gordon Moore and Andy Grove used distancing to make the crucial decision to abandon memory chips for microprocessors. For a year, they couldn't make this decision because their identity was tied to being "memory chip makers." Only when Grove asked Moore to imagine what new leadership would do were they able to immediately see the obvious answer: focus on microprocessors. This decision saved Intel and created the company we know today. Stopping Time: Planning the Pause "The best thing is you have to plan the pauses. The best case is when you plan the pause ahead of time." Marquet explains that once we're in our reactive, immersed state, it's nearly impossible to climb out without System 2 override. The solution is to schedule pauses proactively. When teams know there will be scheduled reflection points, they're more willing to commit to execution while also noting areas for improvement. This is why agile methodologies are so effective - they build in regular pause points for reflection and course correction. Overcoming Defensive Reactions "Your brain will curate the input - it will always choose to pay attention to things that prove you're right and ignore things that prove you wrong." The immersed self creates defensive reactions during evaluations, retrospectives, or any situation involving performance assessment. Our brains naturally filter information to support our existing self-image, remembering successes while forgetting failures. Distancing techniques help bypass these defensive mechanisms by removing the ego from the equation, allowing for more objective analysis and better decision-making. Acting Your Way to New Thinking "We act our way to new thinking. You want to do different things. We act your way to a new mindset. You don't mindset your way to new actions." Marquet concludes with a crucial insight about change: behavior change leads to mindset change, not the other way around. Rather than trying to convince people to think differently, leaders should focus on creating small, actionable changes that gradually shift thinking patterns. His "Leadership Nudges" concept embodies this approach, offering brief, practical tools that teams can implement immediately. About Captain David Marquet Captain David Marquet, a former U.S. Navy submarine commander, revolutionized leadership by empowering his crew to become leaders themselves. Through his Intent-Based Leadership® model, he transformed the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine to the best in the fleet.

Also: Target's CEO is the latest "go woke, go broke" casuality, MSNBC gets a dumb rebrand that's very ON brand, and the gas mileage mandate gets whacked. And that's good.

Summer scrambled us, Slushies, from UAE to North Carolina, from D.C. to Scotland and back, from North Carolina to New York City, and to Philly, of course. Phew! Sam has just returned after a month-long residency through the Hawthornden Foundation in Scotland in an actual castle where she worked on her novel. The crew came together on Zoom to discuss two poems by Elvira Basevich, “Beautiful Girls” and “Pallas Athena”. The first poem transports Kathy and Marion to their teenage days on the Jersey shore. For Marion, the ending of the poem with its Beauty in the bathroom mirror, recalls the energy of Ada Limón's “How to Triumph like a Girl”. The discussion of “Pallas Athena” notes the poem's foresight to mark a memory as it's made, which sends Marion to Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey and has Lisa mis-marking that poem as the one with daffodils. Imagining the future while in the past also reminds Marion of André Aciman's discussion of arbitrage and Tintern Abbey in the New Yorker. We talk about endings, Slushies, and how hard it is to nail the dismount. Last but not least, we celebrate the release of Marion's new book of poems, Gladiola Girls, with a group photo. Be sure to check out the picture to peep how Kathy's chrome manicure matches the book's color scheme. At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Samantha Neugebauer, Lisa Zerkle, and Sebastian Rametta (sound engineer) Elvira Basevich is assistant professor of philosophy at University of California, Davis. Her first poetry collection, How to Love the World (Pank 2020), was shortlisted for the National Jewish Book Award. Her poems have recently appeared in Pleiades, On the Seawall, Diode, & The Laurel Review. Lately, she's been writing a lot about her father who returned to Russia years ago without saying goodbye. Website: www.elvirabasevich.com Instagram: @elvirabasevich BEAUTIFUL GIRLS I used to line up with teenage girls on the boardwalk like oysters on the half shell. We kissed each other for practice. We guessed how much nakedness we could fit inside our mouths, swallow whole or spit out. These are some of my best memories. Sitting on lifeguard chairs till dusk talking about life. Dates, gulls, the milky surf came to us, but they had to climb a ladder to our perch. Bring an offering of beer and cigarettes. Even then, we admitted few. Our bodies were a salvation then, a cause for celebration, something new to smell and taste and touch every morning, the threshold of a pagan's afterlife: an all-you-can-eat buffet of physical pleasures. All these years later, even without the hours of applying makeup in the bathroom mirror, matching mesh crop tops to low risers, taking selfies, I feel so beautiful. I don't mean that metaphorically, as in Plato's description of a beautiful soul as a chariot pulled by two winged horses, but the real, pulsating thing: the Beauty who looks back from the bathroom mirror and smiles. PALLAS ATHENA We tracked deer in the snow, studied philosophy and mathematics. Like you, I inherited my father's passions: the love of war, physical beauty, America's Funniest Home Videos. I can still hear his laughter in a hotel in upstate New York on our only family trip. Soviet émigrés with blue hair and adult grandchildren preferred to speak in English and eat hot dogs and hamburgers rather than piroshki and cold cuts with slivers of wobbly jellied fat. We ice skated among pine trees and rooks. Napped in cots before waiting in a buffet line in a wood-paneled cafeteria. Pallas, that weekend you took care of me like a big sister. You showed me a bloom of wildflowers by the frozen river, a dusk replete with angels, reminders that this too won't last, but it will become my favorite memory of my father. That was your greatest strength: to have the foresight to remember a moment as it faded. You didn't judge me when I left all my doors and windows open and called out to my father, Come in. That sometimes we don't choose the angels that we believe in, as a house does not choose the ghosts who wander its halls.

In this watery simulation of an episode, Matt and Chris uncover the true purpose of Scott Adams' existence: not to shape reality, but to provide training data for future AIs working on plumbing-related problems. Somewhere in a cosmic server farm, Scott is endlessly confronted with blocked drains, dripping faucets, and municipal water conspiracies, while his “insights” fuel the next generation of household maintenance bots.Against this surreal backdrop, Naval Ravikant enters the scene — investor, tweeter, self-styled philosopher, and, in practice, just another discourse surfer riding the waves of online conspiracism. The conversation opens with a familiar chorus of right-wing talking points, drifts into feverish speculation about lawfare, censorship, and “imported voters,” and finally winds down in the dim light of dorm-room metaphysics, where slogans like “happiness is a choice” are served up as if they were profound insights.Naval presents himself as a detached sage, offering a boutique blend of political commentary and Daoist-tinged wisdom. In reality, he delivers little more than predictable polemics and recycled aphorisms. Imagining himself a great man of history dispensing lyrical truths in tweet-sized form, he produces nothing that rises above the usual culture-war debris. The posture is Buddha-with-a-smartphone; the reality is a credulous tech elite mistaking his own Twitter feed for a philosophy seminar.What follows is Elon-as-Ben-Franklin fanboying, Trump rebranded as a “bottom-up” leader of the people, and a level of self-congratulation so thick it could be used to terraform Mars. By the end, you may find yourself nostalgic for the leaky pipes in Scott's simulation — at least they produce real water...SourcesModern Wisdom (Chris Williamson): 44 Harsh Truths About The Game Of Life - Naval Ravikant (4K)Real Coffee with Scott Adams: Conversation with Naval Ravikant

Welcome to another season of our connected culture, this one focused on unmasking the past to imagine better futures. Join us in the coming days and weeks to explore how we can learn from hard human history while growing the community we need to grow a kinder world together. We are kicking off this season with audio from “Imagining a Better American Future: From Abolition to Science Fiction, and beyond,” an event we hosted with Rockbridge Regional Libraries on March 13, 2025 that featured many of our Spring fellows. That fellowship cohort included author Paul Park – who listeners may remember from our first season as a peer and close friend of the late Terry Bisson – who helped us with the future and fiction-focused elements of the conversation. Plus, the fellows were also joined by local black history scholar Dr. Nneka Dennie – an expert on abolitionist Mary Ann Shadd Cary, a key figure in the MidMountain produced folk opera “Save from Oblivion” that we'll discuss more at length later in this season. Also, speaking of community: if you're listening to this as it's being released you can join us in person for our MidMountain Masquerade on October 25 from 2pm through 10pm! There'll be opportunities to make your own masks and marionettes, a harvest potluck to share meals, a masquerade with costume contest, live music, and more. Find out more at midmountain.org/masquerade. As a reminder, Our Connected Culture is a production of MidMountain, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, arts collective, and agricultural project operating out of MidMountain Retreat, a five acre riverfront arts space in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Natural Bridge, Virginia. You can check our community calendar for upcoming events or other opportunities to visit, like residencies where we offer discounted stays for folks who want to work on creative projects. Plus, MidMountain Retreat is also available for rent out on Airbnb and VRBO for non-art stays!

If you've bought a house lately - or tried to - then you'd know the price advertised for properties in the big cities are, more often than not, way below what they sell for. But we've never really had a handle on how widespread underquoting is. Until now. In a new investigation that analysed tens of thousands of property sales in Sydney and Melbourne, our mastheads have uncovered an extraodinary level of misinformation and deception faced by property buyers. In today's episode, reporters Aisha Dow and Lucy Macken take us through the results of this investigation and how dodgy price estimates are an open secret in Australia's property market.

Claire and Rachel are joined today by Dr. James Smoker, the Registrar at Regent College and the original instigator of the Regent College Podcast. We talk about his PhD research, which focused on the thought and theology of the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. A close friend of William Wordsworth, Coleridge is renowned for observing and learning from the natural world, grappling with life's profound questions through fairy tale, and incorporating theological reflection into his work. As James shares, Coleridge has become a companion on his journey in a faith that holds questions. If this conversation piques your interest, consider joining James's Fall class: “Imagining Being Human: The Theology and Poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.” Listen to the end for an announcement about a short break in broadcasting! We'll be back with more good conversations on a biweekly release schedule from September 12. James's BioDr. James Smoker serves as the Registrar at Regent College where he also contributes as a sessional lecturer. He holds both an MA and ThM from Regent College and earned his PhD from the University of St Andrews. James's doctoral research focused on the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834), exploring how imagination intersects with theological concepts such as knowing God, faith, and doubt. His academic interests also encompass the writings of Sara Coleridge (1802–1852), the interplay between popular culture and theology, and the role of imagination in environmental stewardship. He has contributed to scholarly journals and popular publications. James will be teaching a class on Coleridge this Fall, “Imagining Being Human: The Theology and Poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.”Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium The intention of tonight's meditation is to guide you gently into the deep, restful sleep your body needs. Even though your mind wants to keep you awake with tasks to do, responsibilities to hold or life to ponder. Sleep is here...and she's waiting for you. So go ahead and close your eyes as you settle into comfort. And just notice how it feels to close your eyes. Maybe you can feel your eyelids twitch softly as they begin to surrender to the sleep they've been fighting. Perhaps you can feel the moment when their heaviness finally takes over and your entire face falls and relaxes, As your cheeks soften, And your jaw releases, Your tongue drops from the roof of your mouth, And your forehead relaxes. Feel the heaviness of your eyes sink you further into the night. PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your stomach. Observe how it rises and falls with every breath. Feel it filling with air as you breathe in, And releasing air as you breathe out. Now see if you can take a deep breath in, Inviting your stomach to grow as big as it can as you fill your body with cool air, And exhaling it all the way out. Imagining that every breath out releases a thought, A worry, A task, A memory, A vision. Imagine that each breath in invites in cleansing oxygen, gathering up all the happenings of the day, And the array of emotions and thoughts that have been stored inside your body, And on each exhale, imagine the air extracting all of it, releasing it out into the dark night around you. Watch them dissolve into tiny grains of dust that disappear around you. Breathe in, gather it all up, And breathe out, letting it all go. Breathe in, Breathe out. PAUSE… Your body is ready to sleep, beautiful. And your mind is liquid, eager for a rest. Surrender to the calming depths of sleep. It is safe for you here, It is healing for you here.

In this powerful and illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with spiritualist, author, and clairvoyant medium Normandi Ellis to explore the profound wisdom of the ancient Egyptian mysteries.Her 14 published books include the spiritual classic, Awakening Osiris, translations from the hieroglyphs found in the Book of the Dead, as well as a book on the Ancient Tradition of Angels, Hieroglyphic Words of Power, and Imagining the World into Existence among others. She facilitates work with those wishing to explore the path of the priestess through her school devoted to Isis and Seshet. In addition to monthly classes, she offers clairvoyant circles, metaphysical classes and private consultations (phone or in person). Best known for her spiritual classic Awakening Osiris, Normandi unpacks the true meaning of the Egyptian Book of the Dead—known to the ancients as The Book of Coming Into Light—and reveals how its sacred texts offer a blueprint for turning death consciousness into life consciousness.We explore:- The origins and meaning of the Egyptian mysteries- The significance of alchemy and the roots of the word itself- The multidimensional Egyptian soul (Ba, Ka, Akh, Ren, Sahu, and more)- The spiritual power of hieroglyphs, prayer, and Heka (divine magic)- The living presence of the gods and goddesses within temples and statues- The initiatory role of sound and vibration in sacred spaces like the Great Pyramid- Isis as a symbol of the Divine Feminine and restorer of cosmic memory- The role of Thoth, natural law, and reality creation through intentionality and speechNormandi also shares deeply personal stories—from her 10-year journey translating the Book of the Dead, to spiritual pilgrimages in Egypt, to receiving recognition from Jean Houston and collaborating with Nikki Scully. Whether you're a seasoned seeker or newly curious about Egypt's esoteric legacy, this episode invites you to remember your place in the divine story—and to reconnect with the sacredness of all life.Learn more about Normandi Ellis and her offerings at www.normandiellis.comIf this conversation speaks to you, please share it and tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening.

So close your eyes, and let's begin by setting tonight's intention: May you allow yourself to surrender to the deep and nourishing sleep awaiting you. And let's start by taking 3 deep breathes in, Filling your body with refreshing air each time until it can't expand anymore, And exhaling all the day's air out. Another deep breath in, imagining the air coming in and cleansing you, And letting all that air out. Last deep breath in, And exhale it all. Settle into the natural rhythm of your breath, Inviting your body to melt just a little more into your bed, Keeping your attention here on your breath for just a little bit. PAUSE… Now come with me to the beach for a sunset walk. Imagining your feet sinking into the soft, white sand. Feel the tiny grains dance on your skin as a gentle breeze blows by. And feel the warm energy from the Earth rise up and kiss your toes. PAUSE… The sun is about to set, And the warmth of the day is still lingering in the water. Let yourself feel the soothing waves tickle your feet, And notice the warm energy spreading throughout your body and you begin walking along the shore.

In A Reverence for Rivers: Imagining an Ethic for Running Waters (OSU Press, 2025), Kurt Fausch draws on his experience as a stream ecologist, his interest in Indigenous cultures, and a thoughtful consideration of environmental ethics to explore human values surrounding freshwater ecosystems. Focusing on seven rivers across the globe—from the Salmon River in Oregon to the Sarufutsu River in Japan—he examines the growing ethical dilemmas threatening our rivers, including increasing demands for water, habitat fragmentation, overfishing, and deepening climate change. How do we decide which rivers deserve legal protection? What is our right to water as humans? And how do we foster resilient rivers? Through a combination of scientific expertise and thoughtful observations of the natural world, Fausch translates the science of rivers into accessible language for readers and begins to address these questions. He weaves deep Indigenous histories throughout the book and includes personal visits to tribal lands to explore the traditional values held by several Indigenous groups. Fausch reminds us that our connection to rivers is personal and grounded in specific places, flowing from the stories we carry about our relationships with and responsibilities to these rivers. In a final essay Fausch ponders Aldo Leopold's statement that “nothing so important as an ethic is ever written,” but instead evolves in the minds of a thinking community. A Reverence for Rivers speaks to both the mind and the heart, offering perspectives so that we might begin to imagine and create an ethic for living with and caring for the running waters on which we rely for so much. Dr. Kurt Fausch is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, where he taught for 35 years. His research collaborations in stream fish ecology and conservation have taken him throughout Colorado and the West, and worldwide, including to Hokkaido in northern Japan.

In A Reverence for Rivers: Imagining an Ethic for Running Waters (OSU Press, 2025), Kurt Fausch draws on his experience as a stream ecologist, his interest in Indigenous cultures, and a thoughtful consideration of environmental ethics to explore human values surrounding freshwater ecosystems. Focusing on seven rivers across the globe—from the Salmon River in Oregon to the Sarufutsu River in Japan—he examines the growing ethical dilemmas threatening our rivers, including increasing demands for water, habitat fragmentation, overfishing, and deepening climate change. How do we decide which rivers deserve legal protection? What is our right to water as humans? And how do we foster resilient rivers? Through a combination of scientific expertise and thoughtful observations of the natural world, Fausch translates the science of rivers into accessible language for readers and begins to address these questions. He weaves deep Indigenous histories throughout the book and includes personal visits to tribal lands to explore the traditional values held by several Indigenous groups. Fausch reminds us that our connection to rivers is personal and grounded in specific places, flowing from the stories we carry about our relationships with and responsibilities to these rivers. In a final essay Fausch ponders Aldo Leopold's statement that “nothing so important as an ethic is ever written,” but instead evolves in the minds of a thinking community. A Reverence for Rivers speaks to both the mind and the heart, offering perspectives so that we might begin to imagine and create an ethic for living with and caring for the running waters on which we rely for so much. Dr. Kurt Fausch is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University, where he taught for 35 years. His research collaborations in stream fish ecology and conservation have taken him throughout Colorado and the West, and worldwide, including to Hokkaido in northern Japan. His experiences were chronicled in the PBS documentary RiverWebs, and the 2015 book For the Love of Rivers: A Scientist's Journey which won the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. He has received lifetime achievement awards from the American Fisheries Society and the World Council of Fisheries Societies, and the Leopold Conservation Award from Fly Fishers International.

1. Using the TV show MASH as an example, Dr. Christina Bohn helped us start to think of the Tower of Babel story through a lens that considers the time of the story's editing, synthesis, and recording. She explained that though scholars believe it likely that the story had long been a part of Israel's oral tradition, it was written down and recorded in (roughly) the version we have today after the destruction of the first Jerusalem temple, during Israel's exile into Babylon. Take a few moments to think of a story that you've told (or heard told) many, many times. It might be a family story that helps to capture and convey something specific about a family member or event. It might be the story of the founding of your town, or the formation of the company you work for, or a story you find yourself telling to describe something in your own personal experience. It could be a story that helps communicate something formative and important about another community of which you're a part. If possible, wait until everyone has come up with a story before moving forward (and don't worry; you won't be asked to share the story! Just choose one in your mind; there are no right or wrong answers.)Once you've thought of a story, think about a big idea that you take away from that story. It might be something like, “It highlights how silly my uncle could be” or “It demonstrates this community's commitment to high quality science.” or “This story captures a sense of just how lost and confused I felt at that time in my life.” Now imagine that you've been given the task of writing this story down so that it can be shared with future members of your community/family/company/group for generations to come. Knowing that your version will become the “official” version for the group, what do you think might come up for you as you try to write it down? Do you think you might feel a different sense of what is important to capture in the story? Might you feel tempted to alter it in certain ways? Why or why not?How easy do you think it might be for someone else to hear the story and take away a completely different meaning to the one you noticed or intended? How do you feel about that potential? Imagining this scenario, how do you think you'd feel if you were, in fact, asked to take on this task? What might make you hesitant to take it on? What might make you eager?Consider this dynamic, and your response to this prospective task, in light of the stories we have captured in Genesis and other parts of the Old Testament. What questions or curiosities arise for you as you think these often very familiar stories? What feelings surface? 2. Christina also taught that Ziggurats were structures built to attract deities to the city and people who built them, and to then provide a home-base for that deity. Part of the appeal was using the ziggurat to help the people to co-opt that deity's presence as an endorsement of that group's superiority and strength. That goal was about controlling, manipulating, and placing limits on the deity. This story, then, is warning the people of Israel against pursuing this practice/approach to God, though it would have been all around them while in exile. What examples have you seen of organizations or individuals co-opting God to endorse and build up their own plans and practices? What short and long-term outcomes have you seen come from this practice? Are there groups/settings in which you've been a participant in this process (even if you didn't realize it at the time)? What have you learned (or are you learning) from that experience and its outcomes for yourself and/or others?Christina went on to say that when we try to co-opt and control God, we move outside of our boundaries as humans and, as a result, lose an anchor to our reality, and that this distortion of our role as image bearers leads to nothing but difficulty and pain. How does this statement resonate for you? Does it ring true? What resistance might you feel to it, if any? Why do you think we, as humans, seem to continually try to push past the limits of our humanity in order to control God, even though we may have seen the harmful outcomes this has? 3. Christina also shared a personal example of a moment in which she found herself trying to manipulate, control, and co-opt God for her own purposes. She talked about how, even though she hoped to be a conduit of God's love, she found herself instead bringing confusion and disarray to the conversation. In what ways can you relate? How aware are you of this potential within yourself?In what types of conversations or situations do you find yourself most likely to start using God for your own ends and endorsement? When does this feel easiest to avoid? When does it feel most difficult to avoid? Do you feel any ambivalence about the advisability of this practice? Are there times when it can feel justified? Why or why not? Christina asked, “What kind of name do you think we, as God's people, are making for ourselves now? Would God call us babel, ‘confounding,' or would he declare us to be a “gateway to God's presence?” What's your response to these questions? How do you think you, personally, contribute to what you see happening in your communities? What's your contribution to the name God's people are making for themselves right now in the larger aspects of the church and our world? How do you feel about that dynamic and your part in it?
This week on DisrupTV, we interviewed: - Lee Rainie, Director, Imagining the Digital Future Center at Elon University - Margaret Moore and Jeffrey Hull, Co-authors of The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact Lee Rainie, Margaret Moore, and Jeffrey Hull explored how AI is reshaping leadership and essential human traits. Rainie cited research on 12 core traits, raising flags about AI's potential to erode social-emotional intelligence and critical thinking. Moore and Hull underscored the growing need for authenticity, humility, and collaborative leadership in this new era. They introduced their book, The Science of Leadership, which identifies nine key leadership capacities and emphasizes continuous learning and adaptability. The discussion also touched on how AI can support shared and transformational leadership, so long as human values and decision-making autonomy remain central. DisrupTV is a weekly podcast with hosts R "Ray" Wang and Vala Afshar. The show airs live at 11 AM PT/ 2 PM ET every Friday. Brought to you by Constellation Executive Network: constellationr.com/CEN.

How do you imagine the future if you are a science fiction writer living in the present with your country at war? That is the challenge and dilemma for best selling author Max Kidruk. As he nears completion of Collapse, the second volume of a science fiction trilogy The New Dark Ages, his first volume, Colony has sold 60,000 copies in Ukraine. In the real world, Kidruk has had to fight against his own biological frailty and the absolute uncertainty of the times he lives in. The presence of Russians in his fiction is an acknowledgement that the existential national threat of the enemy will not disappear and could grow worse. Perhaps the greatest challenge of all for Kidruk has been to keep his plot relevant. His trilogy is intended as a warning on many levels but real world politics keeps outstripping his wildest imaginings. Mark Burman has been in conversation with Kidruk for the past 18 months as the war has continued to rage.

Dr. Stefan Brandt is the Director of Futurium in Berlin, a hybrid museum experience and public platform dedicated to exploring the future. With a background in literature, philosophy, cultural studies — and a lifelong interest in music — Dr. Brandt has worked at the intersection of culture, science and civic life. Before leading Futurium, he held senior roles at major cultural institutions across Germany, where he championed interdisciplinary thinking and public engagement. He says it's always been his intention to make a change, to improve the institutions he leads and, more broadly, to contribute to a better society. At Futurium, that mission continues: creating a space where people are invited to learn about the future and how they can help shape it. Futurium isn't a traditional museum, it doesn't have a permanent collection or fixed exhibitions. Instead, it operates as a dynamic, evolving space designed to spark curiosity and conversation about the future. Dr. Brandt describes this absence of static artifacts as both a freedom and a challenge: it allows Futurium to be more agile and responsive, but it also requires continual reinvention. At its core is a question posed to every visitor: “How do I want to live?” To help people grapple with that question, Futurium presents ideas and scenarios grounded in science, media trends and public discourse. Each major theme — like the future of housing, health, nutrition, or democracy — is developed over time through in-depth research and collaboration with experts. Rather than offering definitive answers, Futurium encourages people to imagine and help shape a sustainable, participatory future. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.
