It's being argued people in Clare will "suffer immensely" as a result of a proposed renewable energy development along the county's west coast. Fuinneamh Sceirde Teoranta lodged a planning application in January for what it described as a "landmark" wind farm consisting of 30 turbines of 1,000 feet in height off the coast of Clare and Galway. With An Bórd Pleanála due to make a decision on the development in late July, Clare's councillors debated the issue at this week's meeting and their comments are to be appended to the application as a submission. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch has put in a personal submission and he believes as the plans currently stand, Galway will reap the benefits while Clare people will experience the most disruption.

It's Oct 2nd as I write. The Oak Island area on Sauvie Island, near Portland Oregon closed to recreational use for the season yesterday. For the coming Fall and Winter, it will serve as a haven for the birds, save for the occasional hunters. Last winter, when I brought my Soundwalk podcast to Substack, I embarked on a series touching down at certain points in the greater area I referred to as the Columbia Lowlands. I'm pleased to say I'm taking us back there, covering some spots that I didn't get to last time through. Lewis and Clark called this area the Wappato Valley, after the edible tuber, Wapato, that the Native Americans harvested here on Sauvie Island. The island was also named Wappato Island, the geographical center of Wappato Valley. (Both the double P spelling and the geographic names didn't really take.) Today, this area is also referred to as the Portland Basin.Oak Island in the early 1800s would have looked pretty similar to what it looks like now—only without pastures—and the name would have made more sense than it does today, because the land mass used to be surrounded by shallow lakes. Today it more resembles a peninsula. Like the lakes of the Columbia Bayou (slough) on north side of Portland, many lakes on Sauvie Island were drained in the early 1900's, and dikes were built, hardening the river bank. Now, as far as I know, the only marker honoring the stewardship of this land by Native Americans is found a few steps into the Oak Island Nature Trail. There you will see wood post with a line drawing of a two people in a canoe with a QR code underneath. Focusing on that QR code with a smartphone will pull up a page, offering the following:Two hundred years ago, Native Americans walked on this very spot. Each year, just before winter, tribes from up and down the Columbia and Willamette rivers gathered on Oak Island for a trading fair which included dancing and festivities.I want to know more about that. I want to imagine what that looked like, what that sounded like. Of the environmental sound, Capt. William Clark leaves only this description on November 5th, 1805, from the vicinity of Sauvie Island:I could not sleep for the noise kept by the Swans, Geese, white & black brant, Ducks etc. on a opposit base, & Sand hill Crane, they were emensely numerous and their noise horrid. Immensely numerous and horrid. Ha! We will hear numerous birds soon enough in our extended soundwalk survey. For now, on our Oak Island Road Soundwalk, we hear just a handful of bugling Sandhill Cranes, small flocks of geese, wintering songbirds, Pacific tree frogs and light rain showers. Anything but horrid to my ears. Dig a little deeper and you'll discover 200 years ago is just the tip of the iceberg. Native Americans lived in various village sites on the island dating back 2500 years; one thousand generations! (Archeological sites upriver near The Dalles increase that time horizon to human occupation of the area going back well over 10,000 years ago). And all they got was a QR code.How do we know Native Americans lived on Sauvie Island so long? Well, less than a mile south of Oak Island is Merrybelle Farm. Several archeological digs occurred here, beginning in 1958. Analyzing the projectile points and found here with others found on the island and throughout the region, Richard Pettigrew points to an estimated timeline of village occupation at the Merrybelle site from 600 BCE to 200 CE. There were 16 known village sites on Sauvie Island. Several have been the subject of formal archeological excavation. Many were picked over by amateur artifact collectors. Some were buried or partially buried under tons of dike soil. One was “sunken”, preserving woven baskets in the mud for up to 700 years. Today there's no physical reminder of the civilization that existed here before Euro-American settlers; no formal mention or marker, save for a recently renamed bridge. Wapato Bridge. It's a start. Scholars believe the Wapato Valley once sustained the highest population density north of Mexico in aboriginal times. Isn't this a story that should be told?In fourth grade we had a “Pioneer Day”. We came to school in costume: bonnets for the girls. Cowboy hats for boys. Did some boys bring toy guns? Did anyone dress up as an Indian? Seems plausible. We rolled out pasta from scratch, cutting broad noodles for chicken noodle soup “like the pioneers did”. We pledged allegiance to the flag every morning. We did not learn we were inhabiting what was once the cradle of the largest Native American population center, in the Portland Basin, in the United States. When I walk around on Sauvie Island, I try to picture the long house villages, and the multitude of dugout canoes. When I went paddleboarding on Sturgeon Lake a month ago my feet sank up to my calves in mud as I clumsily launched my craft. I imagined Wapato growing there, plentifully. I imagined Native Americans loosening the root bulbs with their toes, harvesting them in floating baskets. The land of plenty. People of the river.This soundwalk was recorded on mild December evening last year, on Oak Island Road, adjacent the Wildlife Area. There are half a dozen farm houses on this quiet spur road. It was very relaxing, and nourishing. I totally recommend this to anyone in the area. Like last time, the composition is almost entirely solo performances strung together. Four voices: piano, a clean Wurlitzer electric piano, a modified Wurlitzer electric piano, and a piano with heavy tape effects. All taking turns. It won't always be like this, though. In fact, next week I have a whole new direction I'm excited to unveil! Til then, thanks for reading, for listening, for joining me here.Oak Island Road Soundwalk is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) today, Friday, October 4th.

In this episode of Creations Paths, Charlie, a non-binary sci-fi fantasy writer, along with their husband, explores the transformative image of Mary as the Tree of Life. Charlie shares their personal journey through faith, the struggles of growing up neurodivergent in an evangelical household, and finding solace in the teachings of Saint Louis de Montfort. The discussion delves into various interpretations of the Tree of Life across traditions, the compassionate and non-judgmental nature of Mary, and how this imagery provided a refuge and deeper connection to the divine. This episode offers powerful insights into practical mysticism and spirituality focused on embracing the divine presence within everyday life.Support us on: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsettBecome a patron of the arts patreon.com/cedorsettFor Educational Resource: Wisdoms Cry https://wisdomscry.comFor all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/Transcript:Charlie- New: [00:00:00] When I was a kid, and I mean kid, I had a lot of struggles. I was undiagnosed with a lot of my neurodivergences. I knew I was different but I didn't really know what queer was and when I did start realizing what that meant I lived in a culture and in a household where that was wrong and I struggled with a lot of things.Faith was one of those things. I've always had a deep and abiding love for the divine, for Jesus in particular, but I always felt like I was never good enough. And then one of my great aunts gave me a copy of The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis de Montfort.Everything changed. Then I read The Secret of Mary and True Devotion to Mary and all of his other works. I've read everything that is available from him in English. But one of the most powerful thoughts that he ever put into my head is the image of Mary as the [00:01:00] tree of life. So let's talk about that today on Creations Paths.Intro hello everybody, my name is Charlie. I'm a non binary sci fi fantasy writer and I'm joined today with my husband. Brian - New: Hello. Charlie- New: When we talk about the Tree of Life, there are a couple places that your mind might go to. You might go to the Kabbalistic Tree of the Sephiroth. That's awesome. You might think about the Crann Bethadh, the Celtic Tree of Life. You might think about the Garden of Eden. You might think about St. Bonaventure's wonderful book, The Tree of Life, which is kind of his retelling of the life of Jesus. And yeah, for me, my mind goes to all those places. But primarily, to this image [00:02:00] of Mary. As the tree of life. And this image is born out of the Hail Mary, out of the Ave Maria. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Which, by the way, used to be where the prayer stopped. So if you've ever prayed the Ave Maria and thought, it should stop there. It used to, and often when I say it, it still does. This image of the fruit of Mary, Jesus is the fruit of Mary, St. Louis de Montfort into this wonderful mystical theology of Mary as the tree of life and Jesus as the fruit that grows on that tree. The fruit of life, the food of life that gives us everlasting life. And so, in some of the more mystical passages of his writing, he tells us that we are, at the beginning of our faith, granted a seed for the tree, that we [00:03:00] plant within us, and we water it, we cultivate it, we help to remove the weeds from around it, so that Mary might keep growing.That eventually the tree will bear fruit. And Jesus will be born within us. this imagery saved me as a kid. I don't know if you, um, I grew up in the kind of evangelical cult world that I did. Evangelicalism is a cult. It is a high control group that shuns people who leave it. Trust me, I know.But perfectionism is so strong in these groups. You have to be perfect. You can't have made any mistakes. You can't have done any of the things that they classify as mistakes. They seem to be minting new mistakes that you can make all the time to help keep people in line and subservient. It's a dangerous, dangerous practice they have.The image of Mary, my prayers to Mary, [00:04:00] learning to say the Ave Maria, learning to pray the Rosary, really did root me. Into the divine in a way that I never had before. The image of Mary as the tree of life was so powerful for Because, like I've said a million times, I love Jesus. Jesus is my Ishta Devata.Jesus can be kinda hard to identify with, depending on how you want to put it. conceive of this person. In most schools of Christianity, this is a divine being born into the world to save it.I am not a divine being born into the world to save it. And I hope, in a lot of ways, none of y'all will. Consider yourself to find means for it in the world to save it. That's a, that's a lot of pressure. In many ways, that's too much pressure to put on any person.But that's hard for me to identify with. Mary, on the other hand, is a woman. Just a woman. We can talk about the doctrine of the [00:05:00] Immaculate Conception and how I think the visions of the words made that meaningful to me. It is not meaningful to me in any other way because I do not believe in original sin. So I don't believe that Mary had to be born without original sin. We can talk about that when the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes approaches in more detail. But Mary's relatable. She was just a girl going to the well when she got her call. Brian - New: She was a mother of a difficult child. We will just put it like that because, you gotta be honest. Even to sit back and go, Jesus is the perfectly behaved child, this is still a child that is not going to necessarily do what the parents tell them to do. This is not perfect in the construct of perfect in a parent mind as the child is not bothering me with questions at this point in time, or, disrupting the flow of cooking, or whatever it is. They were still a child. They still had questions. They still evoked thought. So yeah, they're still a mother.They still have motherly things. What is the [00:06:00] child up to? There is even a story in the Bible where Mary has a panic moment because her child is missing. And later finds him at the temple he runs off to the big city.He disappears in the big city like You know, you know, he's up to and even at the temple. He's still up to trouble. He's still causing a ruckus He's still disrupting life, you know Charlie- New: I'm just gonna bring that up because within the non canonical Gospels. We have all kinds of infant stories of Jesus where he, yes, very much a divine troublemaker.Very, very much a trickster figure in those stories. And I have a sweet spot in my heart for quite a few of them. But even in the canonical Gospels, like you were saying, we have only one story of Jesus's childhood in the canonical Gospels. And it's, he snuck away from his family. When they show up, he backtalks them. Well, where did you think I would be? Brian - New: The easy way to phrase this Problematic isn't necessarily a moral judgment of good or evil. It is [00:07:00] Problematic in a sense that's still disruptive, still does things that are unexpected Whether joyful or sad or whatever, you know any other later moral Attributions are given to it. It's still trying it's still testing. It's still challenging As all the mothers out there know.Charlie- New: We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mary. Never has it been known that anyone who asked anything from you had ever been turned away empty. Brian - New: One of the things that I found that helped make Mary and God so much more approachable. it is instinctual for us to be able to go to our mother, to be able to turn to our mother, and the concept of this is the mother, the mother of mothers, to be able to approach with problems, or questions, or concerns, and to know that they're going, like hopefully mothers do, they will Listen, and try to make it a teaching moment, and try to just comfort, and just, give [00:08:00] you that hug, without judgment.Charlie- New: Mary is the only figure that is mentioned at being there through all of the major events of the Gospels. Mary is of course there at the Annunciation and the birth, she's there at his baptism, she's there when he's preaching. She's there at several of the miracles. She's there at the crucifixion.She's there at the resurrection. And even in the book of Acts, the last time we have a canonical reference to her, she's there at the day of Pentecost with the apostles. She's there for all of it. She is this wonderful stand in for us as we're trying to learn this lesson of we are co creators with God.Because when you call Mary mother of God, people have Strong reactions to this. How could a human be a mother of God? But no, that, that's the point. We are here to live Christ, we are here in this world to be the body of Christ, to be that agent of justice and healing and peacemaking and [00:09:00] compassion and wisdom.That's what we're here for. Jesus says this over and over and over and over again. These are the things that we are called to do. To love our neighbor as ourselves, mary is the living embodiment of that. as St. Louis points out in his books, we have very few words from Mary. One is a beautiful prayer in which she talks about God throwing down all those who think that they are powerful and all the rich and Elevating those who are of lower estate in their eyes.Viva la revolution. She also shows up at the wedding at Cana . Whatever my son tells you, do it. There are very few quotes from her. The ones that we have are powerful. So what does it mean for us? You know I like my practical mysticism. I like my practical spirituality. Brian - New: For me, one of the things that it means, Mary Tree of Life, when realizing that and matching that with that symbolism, back to the Garden of Eden, you had the tree of the knowledge of good and [00:10:00] evil, and then you had the tree of life.The tree of life is without judgment. It is separate from knowing good and evil. So therefore it is separate from judgment. There is no judgment. And recognizing it's that mother figure that is accepting, teaching, informative, but all without judgment. When you look at her life and the stories and where she fits in the stories, she is there without judgment.That is so important, so powerful, and so helpful because so many of us experience Christianity from a more fundamentalist experience. Even the imperial experience is still with judgment. We're all damned sinners. We're going to go burn in hell. Therefore come join us. Or burn in hell.That's such a judgy statement. That's judgment. We're taught original sin. We're taught all these things about judgment and it makes Christianity itself so unapproachable. [00:11:00] That's what was so powerful for myself because in my journey, I was raised Christian, but I had fallen away from it because of all the judgment, because of a lot of the hypocrisy that I was seeing, because you're supposed to be following Christ's teachings, but then I looked at what the various churches I was involved with were doing, and the members of the church, and I was like, you're doing none of the stuff that Christ taught.Like, most of the things you're doing are opposite of that. And so, by that point in my life, I was just like, oh, this is all BS, a control thing. St. Louis, the Tree of Life, Imagery, and Mary made all that approachable again, That's that first thing when you think about approaching God and adding God back into, at least in my experience, back into my life.I was afraid because I didn't want all that judgment. If there was judgment, then I wasn't worthy, just in judging myself, the things I had done and, and were up to in my life. by those judgment standards, I wasn't worthy, but [00:12:00] through Mary, through the tree of life. There was no judgment, so I was able, it gave me that safe space where I could go and start having those conversations and move beyond and realizing the illusion, the Mara that was standing there, yelling at me, keeping me from moving forward and realizing that there was no Mara there in the first place.Charlie- New: I see a lot of discussion over Mary as a goddess. One of my favorite kind of devotional books to Brigid refers to Mary as a goddess in there. I'm not opposed to that language. I think that we are all part of the Elohim. We are all part of God in that way that I don't find that phrase offensive, but Mary is the mother of God.if we're going to go back to older pantheons, Mary is more akin to Danu or to Jebele than to just a goddess. She is the mother of God. She is the mother of [00:13:00] Elohim, right? She's the mother of the gods. she is the matrix in which we are formed into the image of Christ and really come into our Christhood.She is the one that forms us, this to me is where I see the Tree of Life image so powerfully, in so much of my own personal faith, Mary is the Shekhinah. Mary is the glory of God, the Shekhan, the tabernacle that covers. That's actually where the word Shekhinah comes from. The feminine aspect, the divine presence of God.It comes from the Hebrew word Shekhan, which literally means tabernacle. It's the tent that you would go into to pray. And that is Mary. Mary is that glorious presence of God. She is that shelter, that refuge that we go into. She is the tree of life under whose boughs we seek refuge. And even more than that, [00:14:00] the Shekhinah is one of the names for the 10th sephirot.On the Tree of Life there are the 10 circles, if you've seen the pictures of it. And the 10th one is sometimes called Malkuth, or Kingdom. But sometimes it's called Shekhinah. The Divine Presence.that is Mary. She is the root of the tree. She's also Kether. She's crowned, she is the top of the tree. Crowned in glory, queen of heaven, queen of the angels, queen of all hearts. She is the queen who opens the divine treasury so the graces of God may flow. As saint louis points out very beautifully in his books, No grace comes into this world except by her hands. And for those who are Christ only people, I know that phrase sounds frightening, scary, out of place. But remember, Christ's hands were formed in Mary. Those are the hands that came from our mother.We are [00:15:00] told that whoever follows the path is Jesus sibling, sister, brother, or mother. And this is the thing that we're learning when we're sitting under this glorious tree. This font of wisdom. This fountain of all graces. That is Our sweet Maria. Our Mari Stella. Our star of the sea.Everyone is equal in God. In the one life that flows throughout all the cosmos. We're all equal. No one is greater or lesser. Jesus tried to explain this to the sons of Zebedee when they were arguing over who would be first in the kingdom. And we will sit. At your right hand, in your kingdom.And Jesus answered very simply, Whoever wants to be first, will be last. And whoever wants to be greatest, must be servant of all.There is no hierarchy in the kingdom. The imperial [00:16:00] church really tries to cover this up and hide it and create all manner of hierarchy.But Jesus is making this very flat kingdom. There is no hierarchy here. So when we say Mary is Mother of God, that is a great gift of hers. It's also a great gift of ours. That's why this image of she is the tree of life planted within us, is so powerful. It reminds me, not only, of Jesus.Our sweet and blessed mother. But, that this is my calling as well. This is your calling. We are here to live God, to live Christ into the world. As Paul said, I struggle with you and labor my children until Christ be formed in you.That's the point, right? We're here to bring Christ here, not to go there. This to me is the greatest lie of the Imperial Church, right up there with original sin. That our goal and all of our labors [00:17:00] are for the afterlife.They're for here. They're for now.We need to bring the fruit of the tree of life here now. In this world. Not in the next. In this one. In whatever small or great ways that we can.We do that in Mary, with Mary, through Mary, and by Mary, which I've talked about before on this podcast a long time ago.But we do that through her hands. So we sit under those beautiful, beautiful bows that Our moving in the wind of the Holy Spirit. The leaves rustling gently over our heads. The divine light of God shining through, almost making the tree crystalline, glowing, full of life, rooted deep into our ground of being, rooted deep down Into the one life from which we all [00:18:00] came and to which we will all return.Hail Mary full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. And that's the power in this moment. That's the power in the entire practice. In everything that we do, we're watering that tree so that it will grow. But we're not just watering it with our kindness, with our joy, with our awe, our wonder, our letting go and letting be, our creativity, our celebration.Our justice making, our peacemaking. But we also go there to drink the waters of life that are ever flowing from its roots. We're told in the Book of Revelation that there is the tree, there is the tree of life, and the river of the waters of life pour forth from its roots.And that's where [00:19:00] we go to find that nourishment, to find that life. To find that meaning, that purpose.In my druidic practice, we often meditate and go into the sacred grove within. And right there, in my grove, every time, is that tree of life. It's one of the many trees around the circle. I can't tell you that it's an oak tree, or an olive tree, or a pine tree, or a cedar. Maple or Dogwood. It is the tree that it is when I go in there.But I always know it. It's the one that is filled with life. And often with light. It's often almost glowing. That's the one that I go and I sit down in front of. Or I stand near. Or I meet one of my guides or guardians at. It's a powerful image for visualization and meditation. It's one that really helps us understand our purpose and function in this world. Those deep [00:20:00] roots. Those high branches reaching up into the heavens.And that strong, sturdy trunk bridging the gap between them.It's a powerful image to me. And it's one that really means a lot.If it's not one that you're familiar with, I highly recommend that you play around with it. I really like the Latin, Prayer, Ave Maria, Mater misericordia. If you prefer English, Hail Mary, Mother of Mercy, Mother of Compassion. We really don't have a good translation for misericordia. It literally means Suffering Heart. Which to me is closer to our English word compassion to suffer with, to labor with. To me it's closer to compassion than mercy, butAve Maria, Regina Caeli, Hail Mary, Queen of Heaven. Whatever connects with you most, make up your own prayer. Don't say a prayer at all, just say it.See it in front of you. Or if you have trouble seeing it, go [00:21:00] outside and find a tree that just says, I am alive just sit with that tree in real space for a while.And just ponder The magic of its existence, its roots digging deep into the earth, and its branches reaching up to the heavens, and the strength and of its trunk. As it carries. The waters of life up. Into the branches. And the power of the light of God. Down. Into the. I hope that. This is an image that resonates with you. It's one that I. I have such a strong fondness for. One that I use a lot. If this episode has meant something to you and you. No somebody that you think would like it or. Get something out of it, please. Share.

In this episode, Charlie, a non-binary sci-fi fantasy writer, together with their husband Brian, discusses the concept of harvesting imagination and light in accordance with the Via Creativa. They delve into the cyclical nature of creativity, emphasizing the importance of practical spirituality, the interplay between light and darkness, and the necessity of sharing one's creative output. They also reflect on the profound role hope plays as an act of creative will, particularly in challenging times.Support us on: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsettBecome a patron of the arts patreon.com/cedorsettFor Educational Resource: Wisdoms Cry https://wisdomscry.comFor all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/Transcript:Charlie- New: [00:00:00] On this first quarter moon after Lunesta, we turn our minds to the Via Creativa to the creative way. And start asking ourselves, how can we harvest imagination and light? What. Imagination Are we harvesting in the season? intro Hello everyone. My name is Charlie and I am a non-binary scifi fantasy writer. I'm joined by my wonderful husband, Brian. Brian - New: Hello. Charlie- New: Today we're going to be talking about harvesting imagination and light. Because we are at our first fruits festival Lunesta, we are. Focusing on this harvesting image, especially as we're here, harvesting those first fruits, those first little inklings. That are coming up [00:01:00] on the fields. How can we bring that in? How can we have more of that in our life? I think a lot of us really need more imagination in our life . I used the word light. A lot. I've always used light in terms of God, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God. And the word was God. And the same was in the beginning with God and without him, nothing would have been made that was made. And in him was light. And the light was the life of humanity. . That beautiful prologue to the gospel of John and so light. And diety are forever joined in my brain. Even more than that right now, as it feels like we're going through such dark times with. The riots that are going on in Britain and the wars around the world. And. The economy and the weather and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and. I think we need to be. Mindful about looking for those places where we can find a [00:02:00] light. Where we can find hope. Where we can find. Whatever it is that pierces the darkness. And brings us to the other side. For the new moon we talked about entering that darkness and harvesting peace. Today. As we're entering this. Time where we're focused on the Via Creativa, the creative way. Answering that question for ourselves in our own lives. How do you find. imagination. How do you find light? And I do mean how not where, but how, because I think we need to be practical. We can be all mystical and metaphysical, and I can use all manner of metaphors here about where and all thats not going to help anyone. I. Have a very strong bias that mysticism. Spirituality needs to be practical. It needs to be. Rooted down in our bones in a very practical, honest, and straightforward way. Let's start with a brief recap of the Via Creativa. [00:03:00] Because. There's a quality that it has that. Often gets missed in people. When Matthew Fox talks about the Via Creativa. He says that it is born from the union of path one and path two. Of that via positive, and via negativa in that. Cosmic hospitality. And that letting go and letting be, and that welcoming in and letting go. That it's in the union. Of these two that the Via Creativa the creative way. Comes forth. I think it's really important for us. To hold that in our minds, when we're thinking about the creative way. Because. Creativity really is about welcoming in the ideas. I think we focus on that a lot. I'm waiting for inspiration. I am waiting for the muse to sing to me and to tell me the things that I should be making. We don't want to think about the other side of that. That's the letting it go or we let the letting it go [00:04:00] terrify us. Well, I've written this thing. Why should I publish it? I've made the song. Why should I sing it in front of somebody else? I've made this food. What if nobody else likes it? I made this. Knitwear crochet where thing. What will people say? If I wear it in public, maybe I'll just wear it around the house. We put these paralyzing. Roadblocks. Between us. Really letting our imagination and our creativity flourish. That's why. seeing creativity is arising from that hospitality, that davar, that divine word. Coming into us. . That willingness to let go and let be. You really have to do both things to be creative. The via creativity. We're told that this is the place where we learn to give birth to God that we are. Where this is the place for goddess as much mother. As child. Both of those images. Have that welcoming, gracious, Via Positiva energy to them. They [00:05:00] also have that letting go energy. a, mother has to let their child go to go out into the world. A child has to let go of the family to go out into the world. And all of our creative endeavors do as well. More than anything right now. In this time in this place, I think the greatest creativity that we're called to. Is hope. Because hope really is a creative act. Hope isn't. An emotion as much as people want it to be. Yeah. We can feel hopeful. It creates a sensation in us when we have it. Brian - New: The emotion is more, the joy. That the hope brings. When you really break it down, In itself is not the emotion. It brings joy. It brings happiness.Charlie- New: It really is born from the joy that's born, that we're feeling. We confuse it for an emotion. It's kind of like how we think compassion is an emotion. No, we feel loving kindness. We feel that loving [00:06:00] sensation within us, but compassion it's self is a mental act. It is an act of choice. If I can use the big words that I like to use, it's a volitional act. It's an act of our will. Hope is very much an act of will. It's not. A pie in the sky dream. I think too many people. Allow hope. Too. Be that thing that's just out of reach. To be that thing that's just beyond us. I know it's probably not going to happen, but I have hope. That's a platitude. That's not really hopeless. Brian - New: Once again, it's without works. Charlie- New: Yeah. Brian - New: When said. In that manner. It is said without the intention of doing anything, it's more of, this is an excuse. For the situation rather than. Normally when it's actual hope. When you say you have hoping you mean it. There is. Intention behind it. Charlie- New: It's the one thing that we say a lot. We go back to this faith without works is dead. That [00:07:00] really is core to everything. , if you get nothing out of any of the other spiritual ideas that we put forward, if you can just latch onto that faith without works is dead idea. We'll be so much better off. Then most people that are. Trying to find a spiritual path because that's really the core, the heart of all of it. As we discussed in the via negativa. On the new moon. That harvesting piece is that active? Portion. That we're engaging it. In. That place of darkness. In the Via Creativa in this creative path. There is this instinct, this urge to say that the action here is to create something. To make a sculpture, make a painting, write a poem, write a story. Tell a story. Cook a meal, bake some bread, there's this very. Literal understanding of being creative. I don't want to discourage that. I don't want to discourage that in [00:08:00] any way. If that's where your heart is. If that's where you're feeling called and moved. Do that. We need to expand our understanding of creativity. To other aspects. Of our lives, our creative projects in and of themselves. Maybe that creativity is I'm going to go walk in this other place that I normally don't walk. maybe that creativity is finding a new restaurant to go hang out at. Finding a new cafe. Finding a new way to find a new artist to listen to. Or a new book to read. Creativity comes in a lot of shapes and sizes. It's not just our creative output. I think this content culture that has developed alongside influencer culture has gotten us to think of. Creativity as having a necessary output. Brian - New: An exercise. I found very helpful. Getting a deeper understanding. Of the creative. Process. Especially in regard to imagination. Was when I thought [00:09:00] about. Cleaning a room. The simple act of cleaning, via Positiva, via negativa, we're in the actual act of cleaning the space. Adding pretty things and removing ugly things out or the detritus. However you want to word it. it was adding and removing. It was enjoying the a And wonder of it. Then those two are married. The creative process. Actually came next. It is when I sat back. . alow. Others to experience that space. I had just been cleaned. I shared it. I observed, I watched how that space was used, how it was enjoyed or not enjoyed. I watched for the gratitude. It's always nice for someone to appreciate it, but there wasn't an expectation of that. There was no attachment to having to have someone say, oh, thank you for [00:10:00] cleaning this room. That was not there because that's not part of that creative imagination. What was part of that observation was watching to see the natural flow of the space. How did everybody use the cleaned room? Then that carries over into the via transformative as we'll go into later in the month. In this exercise that then allowed me to re-imagine. Small aspects of that space to how is it better used? How are others using it? How has it impacted? It was that creative imagination that allowed me to rethink. The entire room. Realizing sometimes I put artificial structures in, when I cleaned, sometimes I put a piece of furniture in a place that blocks the flow. Uh, some of those you get into when doing . Charlie- New: feng shui Brian - New: feng shui. In a space. It's sitting down and it, that is that creative [00:11:00] imagination. . And the creative process . On how is that space? Actually supposed to be because clean doesn't mean free of dirt. There may be. Flowers or plants that need to be added to give life to the space. It may be light needs to be added to brighten it. It may be too much light and maybe too many plans. You may need less, but it's just that. Taking that moment. To just be in the moment. Watch how it is. Interacted with and imagining. Which is pure creativity. Just imagining. How it could be better. Charlie- New: I've often said that the first two paths, the Via Positiva and via. Negativa. are internal. They're looking at they're inviting in their internal work. For the most part they are. And this other two, the paths three and four, the Via Creativa and via transformativa, Our outward paths. Whereas. [00:12:00] In the Via Positiva, we are welcoming it. We're. Allowing that divine word to come into us. We're practicing cosmetic. Hospitality. And learning that hospitality is earthiness and bringing all of those good things in whether they're into our hearts, into our lives, into our homes. Whether it's doing the internal work on ourselves. That is done on that path. In the Via Creativa. This is the turning outward. This is the moving out. I don't personally. Believe that creativity can happen within. Creativity. Requires some form of external action. Whether that's just practicing body prayer. That you were praying internally. Just holding it all inside and now you're adding gestures and ritualizing your prayer in that way. Whether that's learning to seam with your own voice for dance. In the moment. [00:13:00] Or all of the other creative acts that come out. The Via Creativa. Is an outpouring. We've welcomed everything in the Via Positiva, We've learned what we need to let go and let be in the via negativa and now we're allowing it to flow through us. We are becoming a channel, a conduit. We are part of that flow. Now. There is that. need to share. That can be as simple as telling another person about a thing. You don't have to publish your work to the whole wide world. Don't ever think that's what I'm saying. When I say. Share your stories or share your music or what have you. You don't have to start a bakery to share your baked goods. It is good to share them. That could be as simple as if you live in a very rural place. Maybe. Bake something special for your dog. There are a lot of really nifty dog foods that you can make that require a lot of creativity. And I say that to somebody, like I grew up very rural. Remember when it was [00:14:00] just me and my dog. Right around right. I didn't have any friends that lived close by. That was always an event when you would go. And actually visit other people because they live so far away. If that's your case. Share with the birds. Go outside and tell the birds your stories. Tell the birds. Tell them to the wind, tell them to the trees. To me, that's just as valid. Whether or not you experienced the spirit of that tree, the spirit of those birds. Community with you or not. You're still sharing. You're still taking that step. To speak to something outside yourself to. Cher. With things outside of yourself. And that is just vitally important. This is a place where we're getting in touch with our creativity, with our imagination. With that light. That ever shines within us. a while back. I did a piece where I talked to you about the idea that we live. In the Zelle [00:15:00] Shaddai we live in the shadow of the almighty. And what that means. This image of all creation is God dancing before God. The shadow that's cast into the void in between. Is what makes our world. That we are all living in the shadow of the almighty. how are you casting your shadow? How are you sharing your light? That's what the Via Creativa is about, is learning to. Interact with that play between light and shadow. To bring it in and let it flow through you. Jesus used a lot of light analogies for us. We are to be the shining city on a hill that. Who should let the light of our eyes shine out that we shouldn't put our light under a bushel. ? He used these light images a lot. That's because light. Like creativity. Can't be contained. Hope like creativity. Can not be contained. It has to be free. It can be [00:16:00] blocked. That's a very different thing than containing it. Brian - New: Even then light gets creative. Have it just travels in one direction. And then once it's blocked, it gets creative and goes in another direction. , there's the simple trick has hold a mirror up and you can see the beam of light somewhere else because it reflects, and it doesn't just reflect off the first time it gets blocked and reflects. Sometimes it can even amplify. Slightly as it reflects because it starts reflecting off multiple places. Charlie- New: Why is the sky blue? Brian - New: That's reflecting off the ocean. Charlie- New: No, actually, it's the refracting light. Brian - New: Oh, yeah. Charlie- New: The way the light hits the atmosphere, it bends and shakes, and the blue light scatters. It just scatters. So much that we see it. And the other light makes it down to us. The light that feeds our plants is actually red light. The plants are green because there's too much green light. They need to reflect that light back so they don't get burned. So they're green because they're reflecting that green [00:17:00] light. So they don't get burned by it. But the green light. Isn't what nourishes them. If you've ever worked with grow lights, if you've done any you'll notice that they're very red. And the reason for that is not because, oh, didn't that? Cool. It's just that those are the wavelengths of light. The plant actually needs. There's no point in generating wasting the energy to generate green light. Which is there in the white light, all along. Because the plant will just reflect that back. It doesn't need it. It doesn't want it. It's too much of it. And that right there. If you think about it. Is what we're talking about, hearing that Via Creativa Via Positiva, via negativa balance. It's letting in. Inviting in that path one. The red light. Letting go of reflecting via negativa path to the green light. So that it can Via Creativa path three, grow. And make all of those beautiful leaves and flowers. And everything else. That's why we have such [00:18:00] a variety in plants. When you see a plant that has kind of reddish leaves. Oh, It's wanting that red light. It doesn't want that red light anymore. It's reflecting that back. That's powerful idea. It's one that's so subtle. We don't think about it. Cause it's all around us. You look up the window. And you see. Green grass. Or a tree leaf. Or something and you see that green and you just it's great. There's so much. In the meaning of that green leaf. That's the power of the via creative and taking this time. That we do. To meditate on it, whether it's just on the first quarter moon. I tend to focus on the Via Creativa in the time period between the main moon phases. So between now and the full moon. That's the. Monthly cycle of the Via Creativa for me, I take that time to meditate on the third path. To think about all of those. I guess you could call them hidden messages. That are out there. That aren't really hidden. They're just, and again, a repeated theme that we keep going to, we just don't notice [00:19:00] them. Brian - New: Yeah. There's subtle. Very, still small whispered voice. And they allowed room. Full of conversation. Charlie- New: Because we need hope right now. We need creativity right now. We need. To live. Right now. It's so hard in this late stage capitalist world that we live in. To find those moments of joy. And peace. And lightness, not just light, but lightness. We feel so burdened so heavy. And yeah, I could use as a platitude, right. That wonderful quote from Jesus. Come to me all who are weary and heavy Laden and take my burden upon you. For a disliked. Yeah. I remember as a child seen that wonderful him cast your cares upon Jesus. Right? I remember seeing that when I was a kid. And it sounds. So simple. But it is one of the hardest things to do. One, it requires us to. Use our creative mind. [00:20:00] To understand what we need to hold onto and what we need to let go of. This is where creative, the via creativa or the third path. It looks back at the two that came before it. . also looks forward, what things need changing. That's what we're going to be talking about. When the full moon comes about. What are we changing? What needs change? what needs transformation and celebration brought to it? So here we are. What creative things can we do? Do we need to do, or are we not seeing. How have we gotten locked into a certain mode? And a certain habitual action. Brian - New: That's why I liked that exercise. Of the simple act of cleaning. It is. A simple thing. Most of us think of it as a chore it's treasury that we just do because it needs doing. some of us are fortunate enough to find a lot of joy in it. With the power of imagination. And the creative path. One Ken. Simply shift that [00:21:00] perspective. Can go, I'm going to clean this space. It is going to be an act of compassion. Given to everyone. That enters that space, including yourself. And as an act of compassion, it's done without thought of reward. But knowing. With that hope and faith, good things will come out of it. And then with that power of creation, power of the creative imagination. Making that shift and then doing the cleaning. It is now a gift. Not one that you have to have a thank you for it. It's just a gift. That you can enjoy. That any everybody else entering this space can enjoy. That you can then also further contemplate. Meditate upon. How it can be transformed. For the next time you do it. So that then you can. Make it even better gift. Charlie- New: That's why as we're going about our days. We're even if it's just right now, while you're hearing the sounds of our voices. Just take a. [00:22:00] Moment. A little breath. And ask yourself. Where's that light. Whereas that lightness. Where's that. Creativity. Where is my imagination right now. Where are you finding those things? Where are you practicing those things? Where are those things calling to you? They may not be in the most obvious places. Maybe you need to be creative about the path you take to work. Maybe you need to be creative about how you do your sleep schedule. Or the routine that you have to get up in the morning. Maybe you need to have some creativity. And how you pray. Or meditate. Maybe you need to have some creativity in your meal planning. Have you gotten into a rut? Anytime anything starts feeling routine. I think it's important for us. To ask ourselves that question. Is this routine because I want it to be, because this is what I have chosen. Or because I just got into a pattern and it became a [00:23:00] habit. So much of what we're trying to do in the creative life and the spiritual life. It's learning to see those habitual patterns. And which ones need to be broken free from. it's very easy for us to just get into a pattern. That's really the power of. The third path. It shows us where we need to bring that imagination. That creativity and that light. So that we can change. That's what the path four is all about. But before. Little baby. Jesus can walk. We have to give birth to him. We do that. When we learn to trust the divine imagination living within us. And to be co-creators with God. In this amazing and wonderful cosmos. Thank you so much for listening.

From time to time Lucy and Saul decided they wanted to record conversations with other Head Gardeners, Curators, Garden Owners and fellow horticulturists across the UK, these will be published as Bonus Episodes alongside their usual format of chatting about their gardening lives. We hope you enjoy.For the Bonus Episode #20 we are joined by Scottish Self-employed gardener Susan Stephen, who as well as being a Talking Heads 'superfan' won out Episode 200 quiz. Susan's life as a career-change gardener was borne out the need to heal her earlier life experiences and a fascination with the natural sciences, coupled with a chance encounter with the garden at her daughter's school, and she's never looked back.

Immensely influential British big band from the mid 1940's through the 1960's, Ted Heath and His Music was just finding its way in the middle 1940's. Featuring soloists like Kenny Baker on trumpet, Harry Roche and Jackie Armstrong on trombone, Reg Owen on clarinet, Les Gilbert on alto, Johnnie Gray on tenor and a rhythm section of Norman Stenfalt on piano, Dave Goldberg on guitar, Charlie Short on bass and Jack Parnell on drums, this group could hold its own with any American counterparts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
Robert Adams says that you should start feeling the Silence as God. Say thank you to It. Say, 'thank you God', without saying 'thank you, God'. Just feel gratitude Feel it strongly. Stir it, and then let it settle, back into (t)His Gratitude that's always here. This quiet Gratitude, This quiet Love. This quiet Conversation we are having. Even when you exit this app, I'm forever saying, 'I love you', we are forever chatting. nik Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Learn to love the silence. Treat the silence as a beautiful entity. As the divine mother, Shakti. The silence is all power. Never take the silence for granted. You should start feeling the silence as God. Feel good when you are in the silence. Up to now many of you have believed that silence is nothing. It is a divine nothingness. Remember it's out of the silence that everything comes. When you return to the silence this is actually a self-surrender. You are surrendering your ego, your lifestyle, your karma, everything is surrendered to the silence. Remember never believe that silence is a waste of time. Just as we realize now space is really consciousness. There is no such thing as space. It appears to be space but it's really consciousness. In the same way, the silence is consciousness. It's a living entity. It's alive, it's reality. Therefore, sit in the silence and rejoice." - Robert Adams The Hindu scriptures tell us that if for one night and one day, without a moment's interruption, a devotee talks to God with intense devotion, He will respond." - Paramahansa Yogananda Repeat: "My past was riddled with outside influence. I depended on my circumstances to define my existence. But things have changed. Even if there's heaviness around me, there's self-sustaining peace within me. I move to the beat of my own energy because I own my energy. Im aware that my happiness, my peace, my successes are all inside jobs. I recognize that the subtle nuances in my environment are created by what I'm emitting. Not the other way around. My life has shifted immensely. I am eternally and undoubtedly grateful for this never ending transition.

You can also support us via: https://ko-fi.com/parapowermapping CSA trigger warnings abound for this conversation, friends. Immensely grateful to my interlocutor, great friend of the show & fellow para-podcaster Fergal Schmudlach, permitting me to re-release this ep which first dropped on his pod "The Kingless Generation". Pls support him! This is prob some of the riskiest research I've ever pulled together, as the mastermind of this child trafficking & drug smuggling ring that catered almost exclusively to backpacking I O F veterans & active-duty servicemen has avoided any meaningful ramifications for his abhorrent enterprise & seemingly lives freely in the Z***ist entity in the present day, insulated from Interpol & Colombian federales' efforts to hold him to account. In this discussion b/w Fergal and I, we weave the saga of the Devil of Taganga, this former I D F soldier kingpin who relocated to Colombia after his initial int'l party drug smuggling network was busted in the early 2000s, where he promptly set about erecting a hostel chain from Bogota to the seaside village of Taganga through which he ran underage girls & drugs. In short, we take a brief break from our "Cork Board Church of the Paranoiacost" series to return to Year of the Tunnel territory, talking: the Crusader states; Japanese storybook exposes of Jesuit sex trafficking during Catholic led attempts to convert the isles; more on the Chabad tunnel fracas & the distinct possibility it was a psyop dressed in Messichist rhetoric; we break down... M o s s a d's use of Lubavitchers as agents, whom they can embed in foreign countries w/ ease; Jonathan Pollard & his much younger Lubavitcher wife; we parse a bunch of data & statistics regarding the proliferation of sex trafficking in the Z***ist entity, the safeguarding of sexual criminals who are treated as protected individuals, the avg age that Israeli prostitutes enter the trade (which is tragically in their preteens...), the prevalence of child marriage, and more, all evidence for the centrality of human trafficking to the Z***ist project, and said pedostate's reliance on sex & labor trafficking to maintain the colonial satellite. The ep climaxes in the latter half when we go deep, diving into the Israeli organized child trafficking ring in Colombia that has endured despite repeated attempts to break it up, likely bc of high level military backing... A vile traffick allowed to fester, seemingly for the purpose of incentivizing service & brainwashing I O F stormtroopers by emptying their brains thru a variety of means (drugs & sex included). We get into some data indicating that the number of Israeli backpackers visiting Colombia has increased exponentially in recent years. We're talking about how the Devil of Taganga & his posse of former Israeli servicemen came to run a seaside village on the coast of Colombia, turning their hostel compound into a drug den & brothel w/ the help of an ex-paramilitant & crooked cops, terrorizing the townsfolk on their 4X4 Jeeps flying Star of David flags, press-ganging the local girls into prostitution. One of the terrible fruits of their stranglehold on the formerly bucolic, tropical fishing village was a localized AIDS epidemic, so pernicious was their influence. We reveal how the Devil of Taganga, this Israeli kingpin named A s i B e n M o s h, would ultimately face deportation & still inexplicably escape all the charges brought against him, time & again. And how the cont'd criminality of his deputies, which he directed from afar, living it up while selling Ecstasy in Ibiza, ultimately resulted in the murder of one of B e n M o s h's rivals in Colombia.

In the sixteenth century, members of the Ouchi family were kings in all but name in much of Japan. Immensely wealthy, they controlled sea lanes stretching to Korea and China, as well as the Japanese city of Yamaguchi, which functioned as an important regional port with a growing population and a host of temples and shrines. The family was unique in claiming ethnic descent from Korean kings, and-remarkably for this time-such claims were recognized in both Korea and Japan. Their position, coupled with dominance over strategic ports and mines, allowed them to facilitate trade throughout East and Southeast Asia. They also played a key cultural role in disseminating Confucian texts, Buddhist sutras, ink paintings, and pottery, and in creating a distinctive, hybrid culture that fused Japanese, Korean, and Chinese beliefs, objects, and customs. Kings in All But Name: The Lost History of Ouchi Rule in Japan, 1350-1569 (Oxford UP, 2024) illustrates how Japan was an ethnically diverse state from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries, closely bound by trading ties to Korea and China. It reveals new archaeological and textual evidence proving that East Asia had integrated trading networks long before the arrival of European explorers and includes an analysis of ores and slag that shows how mining techniques improved and propelled East Asian trade. The story of the Ouchi rulers argues for the existence of a segmented polity, with one center located in Kyoto, and the other in the Ouchi city of Yamaguchi. It also contradicts the belief that Japan collapsed into centuries of turmoil and rather proves that Japan was a stable and prosperous trading state where rituals, policies, politics, and economics were interwoven and diverse.

THANK YOU everyone for listening to our podcast!!!!! It is never lost on us how valuable your time is, and to spend it here, we are truly grateful.We travel a fair bit for our life and business. This isn't a complaint. We're also fully aware these are first world problems. But they are still things WE have to deal with. Trust me. I understand how blessed we are. Immensely. But with that comes different stressors. Like? Packing anxiety. Do you get it? Kim does. Listen how and why and the underlying roots beneath it all.We LOVE our current home. We basically designed it exactly how we want through renovations. Its served us so well. If you had asked us a year ago if we would ever move, we probably would have said no. But we've had an energetic shift in our life this past year, and both Kim and I can see, its time we move. We feel it. We know it. It was so evident to the both of us recently.Yes, there is trauma there. But it's even more. It's wanting an expansive state and environment and that's where we are going. Change is good, and necessary, And the only people that need to fully understand THE WHY is YOU. And we do.We summarize the episode with an incredible experience Kim had at a women's event for a room full of bankers and how a call and interview with Brendon Burchard was life changing for her.Thank you so much everyone, we hope you love this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.K&JSIGN UP FOR WORKSHOPS, RETREATS, AND APPLY TO WORK WITH KIM & JAMIE: bit.ly/WorkWithKimFitzpatrickCONTACT INFO:Private Coaching:jamie@fitzlifeconsulting.comkim@fitzlifeconsulting.com Kim:www.jamieandkimfitzpatrick.comIG: @kim_m_fitzpatrickTikTok: @kimmfitzpatrickFB: https://www.facebook.com/kim.p.fitzpatrickE: kim@jamieandkimfitzpatrick.comJamie: www.jamieandkimfitzpatrick.com IG: @jamiefitzpatrickentrepreneur FB: https://www.facebook.com/CoachJamieFitzpatrick/ E: jamie@jamieandkimfitzpatrick.com
Immobilization is the breeding ground of hopelessness and despair! Take a listen to hear about just how vital movement is especially in seasons of high distress.
The journey of life is often filled with bumps, obstacles and yes, plenty of checkered tales. For J-Mac, who at 55 years shares candid reflections on his childhood, life's challenges and the power of resilience, the story is not any different. Immensely personal and marked by candid insights, J-Mac's narrative shines a light on overcoming life's darkest hours and the courage to share one's experiences. From his non-conventional upbringing to his struggles with mental health, J-Mac leaves no stone unturned in his storytelling. He acknowledges the differences in reality that may arise from the varying perspectives of his family members, emphasising that his account is based on his own recollections. This is a narrative stripped of pretense; a raw and real account of a man's battle with life's trials, his coping mechanisms, and the inspired journey towards overcoming them. J-mac shares his experience not to elicit sympathy but to inspire; to remind the listener of the strength and resilience that resides within each of us. He stresses the importance of knowing that no matter how grim the statistics or dire the circumstances, change and growth are always possible. J-Mac's storytelling is grounded in honesty and humility. He acknowledges his own lack of self-understanding, his battles with personal obstacles, and his continued daily struggles. Yet, his message is undeniably hopeful. He stresses that sharing our experiences and learning from one another can save lives, as it has done so in his time on talk radio. This is not merely a podcast – it is an intimate shared journey of growth, acceptance, and overcoming. With every tale he shares, J-mac invites his listeners to do the same, iteratively creating a space of shared experiences and mutual growth. So tune in, journey along, and join in the story-telling. Who knows? Your story may as well save a life.
Hey y'all - just you and me today. :) The holidays can SUCK. Why? And how do we deal? Today that's what we're talking about. This past year was very challenging, even more so on the holidays. I had to do some real work around emotionally processing and managing the loss of two close friends, and I'm sharing how I've dealt with the sadness of not seeing my dad at Christmas for so long. These two mindset shifts are easily implemented and I hope they help you too!!

How is ICE handling complaints of sexual abuse from detainees? Maria Hinojosa teams up with Zeba Warsi, two immigrant women and journalists from different generations, to look at sexual abuse in ICE detention more than a decade after Maria's documentary film on this topic. This time, they investigate how women in ICE detention are sexually abused when they were at their most vulnerable —in a medical setting— and how ICE has done very little to stop it. A special by Futuro Investigates in collaboration with Latino USA.
