Actors frequently find themselves working with inanimate or nonexistent partners in film and television, whether it's interacting with imaginary creatures, performing alongside CGI characters, or reacting to props that will later be altered digitally. Here are some key techniques and strategies actors use to bring these scenes to life convincingly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A recent Hollywood trend has showcased the childhood custom of imagination. Movies like IF, Harold and the Purple Crayon, and Imaginary all tap into the fantasy of childhood, and the potential horrors in the latter case. It's estimated by a report in Psychology Today that by age 7, about 37% of children have Imaginary friends. Sometimes they are animals, other times they are human with varying genders, and other times they are unidentified but speak different languages. The obvious question is whether children are using their imaginations or are the target of supernatural forces. In Ancient Rome there were household deities who were kept and honored for the protections they offered to the home. Inanimate objects in Rome were supposedly brought to life with their own spirit called NUMEN. This is a belief shared by the Japanese with both KAMI and YOKAI, and the famous Hakkiyagyo procession or Kamikakushi. The household spirits of Rome were called Zashiki Warashi in Japan, and they would both protect a home and befriend children to sing songs and play games. In countless horror movies we may recall children talking to spirits in the home before bad things begin to happen. The playful nature of children indicates a level of emotional intelligence separate from logical critical thinking intelligence. Their ability to play imaginary friend is vastly different than the large percentage of adults who may not have any ability at all to imagine or hold inner dialogue. A small recent study published in Psychological Science suggested that 1/10 have no inner speech. Based on the work of Russell Hurlburt, it's estimated that 30-50% of the public has no inner dialogue. They therefore struggle with language, memory, and other things. This has given rise to the idea of the NPC Theory that up to half the population is nothing more than robotic computer-controlled beings. Perhaps the imaginary friends of childhood take possession of the child and push out the newly formed soul-body so that the growing human never develops any sense of self - they are spiritually dead and the body is left only seeking pleasures in the activities of demons. Correlation is not causation but with about 30% of kids having imaginary friends and 30% of adults having no internal dialogue, perhaps there is a connection - especially when we separate real imagination from the supernatural. Those adults then act as automatons. Perhaps that is also why all over the world sacred texts inform us to stay away from certain meats, because they could pollute our body, i.e., place parasites inside of us. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

THE EXISTENCE OF CELESTIAL (HEAVENLY) BEINGS DO ANGELS EXSIST? Angels All Over Let's start at the safest place to start — namely, with the Bible instead of our own speculations. And here are some of the things that the Bible says angels are doing. And the terms angel or angels occur in the Bible close to three hundred times, so this is not a marginal reality in Scripture. Here's a sample: Angels announced things about the birth of Jesus to Mary (Luke 1:26–38), Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1:11–23), Joseph (Matthew 1:20–21), and the shepherds (Luke 2:8–14). They ministered to Jesus in the wilderness after his forty-day fast (Mark 1:13). They rolled the stone away from Jesus's grave (Matthew 28:2). They opened prison doors for the apostles (Acts 5:19–20). They directed evangelists where to go, like Philip (Acts 8:26). They spoke to unbelievers like Cornelius about what they should do to find the gospel (Acts 10:3–8). They will come with Jesus, the Bible says, at his second coming (2 Thessalonians 1:7). That's just a sampling of their activity in the Bible, particularly from the New Testament. And they are mentioned, by the way, in the Old Testament over a hundred times. Four Ways Angels Serve But let's get more specific with four texts that give us glimpses of what angels do and why they exist. 1. Angels minister to the saints. Here's the first one: One of the most basic texts there are about angels and Christians is Hebrews 1:13–14. Almost the whole first chapter of Hebrews is devoted to showing the superiority of Jesus over angels. The chapter ends like this: “Are they not all [that is, angels] ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14). Several things are remarkable about that statement. It says that angels exist for the sake of Christians: “those who are to inherit salvation.” It says that they are serving us as “ministering spirits.” And maybe most amazingly, it says that all of them — not just some, but all of them — “serve” Christians to help us make it home to “inherit [our] salvation.” So, all angels serve the good of all Christians all the time. They are agents, as it were, of Romans 8:28, making everything work together for good under God's providence. 2. Angels execute God's will. Here's the second sweeping text about angels, Psalm 103:20–21: Bless the Lord, O you his angels,      you mighty ones who do his word,      obeying the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts,      his ministers, who do his will! It says angels are “mighty ones.” They're not baby-like, chubby cherubs with wings. They are colossal and tremendous in power. And then the psalmist calls them “armies.” The English word hosts translates a Hebrew word that means “armies” or “troops” or “military forces.” But whether you call them angels or you call them hosts or armies, the emphasis in both cases in Psalm 103 falls on this: they do the will of God — “You mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!” “His hosts, his ministers, who do his will!” In other words, they are active; they are agents who do whatever God commands. So, it seems to me that we can infer from this that God loves to create an abundance of doers of his will at multiple levels. Inanimate objects do his will: he commands the sea, and it obeys him. Animals do his will: he commands a whale to swallow Jonah. Humans do his will. Angels do his will. “God created millions upon millions of angels as a fitting, regal, royal assembly for his magnificence.” And when God decided to create, he thought it wise to create hierarchies of beings, from the least significant inanimate stone, to the worm, to the whale, to the human, and then to multiple ranks of angels. Because some are called archangels (1 Thessalonians 4:16). So, God created not just angels but ranks of angels. And when they become demonic by rebellion, there are ranks of principalities and powers in the hordes of the devil. 3. Angels magnify the grandeur of God. Now here's a third text that underlines God's exuberance in creating angels. Daniel 7:10: A stream of fire issued      and came out from before [the Lord]; a thousand thousands served him,      and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment,      and the books were opened. There's a picture of God in heaven with one hundred million angels standing before him. Now that's breathtaking. That's the point. God created millions upon millions of angels as a fitting, regal, royal assembly for his magnificence. The vastness of such a crowd of colossal beings, all assembled before one great King, speaks in a unique way about the glory and the imperial majesty of the King of kings. So, angels exist in their grandeur and in their obedience and in their vast numbers to call attention to the greatness of the God they serve. 4. Angels call attention to the worth of every believer. Now here's one last text that's perhaps the most unusual of all. Jesus says in Matthew 18:10, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” What in the world did Jesus mean by that? Well, the “little ones” refer to believers, Christians — childlike Christians, real Christians — who are easily despised and made fun of in this world. And I think what he is saying is this: every Christian — even the simplest, lowliest believer — has an entourage of titans, angels — colossal, glorious beings who stand in the most privileged position in the universe before the face of God — always ready to do God's bidding at any time on behalf of those despised little Christians. So, be careful not to despise any simple, unimpressive follower of Jesus. Heavenly titans are in God's service on their behalf in the very place of privilege before his face. I wrote an article at Desiring God called “The Surprising Role of Guardian Angels,” where I give all the arguments for what I just said. If it sounds like a new and unusual take on that text or on guardian angels, I hope you'll go to that article. Let me just sum it up again like this: Jesus says, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones [one of my believers]. For [because — here's the reason you must not despise any Christian] I tell you that in heaven their angels [plural — this is not one angel for one person; there's nothing in the text that would suggest that] always see the face of my Father.” Don't despise this simple, unimpressive disciple of Jesus. Let his angelic entourage remind you whose son he is. Let this angelic entourage of titans remind you what Lord he has. Put your hand over your critical, despising mouth, and show great esteem for all ordinary, childlike disciples. If the fact that God is their Father and Jesus is their Lord doesn't keep you back from despising and mistreating the followers of Jesus, then let this terrifying advocacy and rank of their magnificent angels awaken you from your stupor. That's the idea. So, in heaven and on earth, angels in their magnificence serve to call attention to the grandeur of God and, surprisingly, serve to call attention to the lesser but breathtaking grandeur of the simplest believer. God intends for the role of angels to thrill us with his grace and power and wisdom in the way he created, the way he governs, and the way he is saving his people. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's no empirical evidence that angels exist outside of stories and legends, but many people believe they do. According to a 2018 Live Science article, nearly 70% of Americans believe angels are real, and a 2007 Baylor Religion Survey found that many people reported personal experiences with guardian angels. For example, 57% of Catholics and 81% of Black Protestants in the survey reported having such an experience.  Alvernia University Angels Around Us | Alvernia University Dec 15, 2015 — James F. Gontis, director of religious education for the Diocese of Harrisburg... Some say that while there's no scientific way to disprove the existence of angels, there's also no way to find empirical evidence that they do. Others believe that if you believe in God and that God is all-powerful, then you should also believe that God created angels.  Despite centuries of theological speculation about angels — from their number to their duties to how many can dance on the head of a pin — no one knows if they exist outside of stories and legends. Many people believe they do. Plato and Aristotle, for example, were convinced that they exist.

Headphones in! This is not for beginners. Our second Fated Mates Live episode is live! During the event (which was so so fun we love every single one of you who came!), the fabulous Nikki Payne selected one of the most challenging interstitial topics we've ever tackled—Inanimate (and sentient!) objects! So! This one is very very odd, and filled with a number of recs that just prove that there is literally something for everyone in this big, beautiful romance pool. We also want to thank the following publishers and authors for their incredible generosity in making sure that almost every attendee of the Live went home with a romance novel.

This Sunday we're back in our study of Romans chapter fourteen. Paul isn't finished talking about the importance of Christian unity. This can be challenging because we don't all come from the same backgrounds, experiences and cultures. In Paul's day, Rome was a cosmopolitan city with diverse people now joined together under the banner of Christianity. Many of these folks had very little in common.    Picture this incredible scene…   Jews and Gentiles, Greeks and Barbarians, servants of the house and owners of the same house sharing the same meal around the same table. Many come from pagan backgrounds and yet all are gathered together because of their newly formed faith in Jesus. This environment gave many opportunities for discord. One example Paul uses is that of eating meat. He introduces this at the beginning of chapter two.    One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Romans 14:2   Jewish Christians did not eat meat sold by the local butcher because it had been offered to pagan gods. For this reason the food was tainted so they kept it vegetarian. Gentile believers had no problem eating because they believed all meat was created by the one true God and idols are nothing. So what happens when the Gentile invites the Jew over for dinner? It could get awkward. There is opportunity for disunity.   Once again Paul helps us understand what it means to live in unity with one another in matters of conscience that are not sinful. I need to emphasize this - we are not talking about the clear violations of Scripture. Rather, this is between those whose faith is “weak” and those whose faith is "strong.” Paul agrees with Jesus…   And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” Mark 7:14-19   Inanimate things such as food are morally neutral. However, if someone thinks such things are unclean, then for that person it is so. If a Jewish believer says, “I can't eat what has been sacrificed to idols and if I do, I will be morally wrecked!” and you're the host of this dinner party, then Paul has a warning for you.   For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. Romans 14:15   Back in chapter twelve Paul gave us an incredible description of Christian love. It seeks to bless and honor others. One way the strong can bless the weak is by putting limitations on his or her Christian freedoms. R. Kent Hughes says that exercising Christian liberty is like walking a tightrope. As you walk the rope with a balancing pole in your hands, one end of the pole is "love for others" and the other end is "Christian liberty." When these are in balance, you walk as you should. The stronger Christian voluntarily gives up his freedoms out of love for his weaker brothers and sisters. This is the way we maintain unity within the body and show the world we are disciples of Jesus.

Fin da quand'era studentessa all'Accademia di arte drammatica, Francesca Cavallo capisce che, a parità di talento, sul suo si sarebbe investito meno che su quello di un uomo. Così, oltre che artista, diviene imprenditrice, per occuparsi in prima persona della sostenibilità delle sue idee. Quando arriva in Silicon Valley, si scontra con ciò che tiene le donne lontane dal mondo delle startup: la mentalità predatoria, il mito del far succedere le cose a qualunque costo. Lo straordinario successo che ottiene con Favole della buonanotte per bambine ribelli, un bestseller che ha venduto 6 milioni di copie in oltre 50 Paesi del mondo, le offre l'opportunità di provare a cambiare il modo in cui si è sempre fatto impresa e di sperimentare un nuovo tipo di azienda. «Il successo economico mi ha permesso di non concentrarmi sullo sfondare un soffitto di cristallo. Ho cercato invece di costruire una casa nella quale non ci fossero soffitti da sfondare per nessuno», racconta. L'esperienza della ricchezza ha ripercussioni anche sul piano personale. «All'inizio mi sembrava di dover rappresentare il mio status». Così compra una villa a Los Angeles, diventando dirimpettaia di Bradley Cooper. Ma proprio in quel momento perde il lavoro. Potrebbe cercare un posto da Disney o Warner Bros per poter mantenere la casa, ma sceglie di non far decidere la sua vita a un oggetto immobile. Svende dunque la casa, perdendo molti soldi. «Tutti i soldi che ho perso, nella mia vita, sono stati il prezzo della mia libertà». Questa conversazione è avvenuta durante l'evento Rituali di benessere finanziario, il 6 marzo 2024 a Milano.

“Quality...you know what it is, yet you don't know what it is. But that's self-contradictory. But some things are better than others, that is, they have more quality. But when you try to say what the quality is, apart from the things that have it, it all goes poof! There's nothing to talk about. But if you can't say what Quality is, how do you know what it is, or how do you know that it even exists? If no one knows what it is, then for all practical purposes it doesn't exist at all. But for all practical purposes it really does exist.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're discussing Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. Join us as we ride through the intersections of philosophy, a father and son motorcycle trip across America, and the pursuit of Quality.  We cover a wide range of topics including: Different learning styles and the value of hands-on experience Exploring the elusive concept of Quality Reflections on the narrative and philosophy of the book Overcoming gumption traps and staying enthusiastic  How the journey is just as important as the destination And much more.

Though people can choose where they want to listen, it's hard to get a sense of overall listening numbers across platforms as a whole. (2:49) Today's episode is centered around Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Neil connects his college experience to the book, describing the contrast between theoretical vs. applied learning. (5:35) Different learning styles, emphasizing hands-on experience, and the importance of practical understanding over theory.  (9:43) Why is it that not every great athlete can go on to become a great coach? It all comes down to being able to apply and share your knowledge in a given setting. (12:59) Sharing our thoughts on how the story was written, the narrative of the motorcycle trip, and how the sequel compares to this story. (18:43)The author opens the door to a variety of ideas such as learning to be in the present moment and how to focus on one thing at a time. Though Pirsig is intuitive across several domains, we find that he struggles to put these concepts into words.  (23:12) While on a trip with his son and another couple, the author reflects on flashbacks in his life, including the treatment of his past insanity. Through fixing the bike and traveling across the country, he learns many valuable lessons and philosophies along the way. (28:23) We briefly discuss the sequel where Pirsig highlights William James Sidis, known for his incredibly high IQ and profound ideas on the origin of life.  (32:43) Comparing bike riding to a full-body meditation. Each limb has a specific task to operate the bike, and you have to be focused on the road in front of you, truly bringing yourself to the present moment. (34:10) Nat, Neil, and Adil ponder the concept of Quality, its connection to science, spirituality, and the importance of peace of mind. Quality is all about applying yourself and your senses in the present moment, and being one with what you are doing. (40:54) Nat shares his perspective on the book's cognitive challenges and the reconciliation of theory and practice within the book. (45:18) One unique factor about this book is that it doesn't necessarily mean to give you a conclusive solution at the end. It's all about enjoying the journey, and being okay with the fact that you may not have arrived anywhere by the end of the book.  (48:53) Appreciating the book's humor, comical dialogues, and character depth, with a desire for more insight into the minds of the minor characters. (52:05) It can be very difficult to get started on any project, especially when you think of the whole scope of what you're about to do. If you can start with just one part, it becomes more manageable. We relate this idea to the book writing process. (1:04:37) What are gumption traps, and how can you avoid falling into them? Plus, we give some examples of common gumption traps that you may fall into that diminish your enthusiasm.  (1:11:47) That concludes this episode!

Though people can choose where they want to listen, it's hard to get a sense of overall listening numbers across platforms as a whole. (2:49) Today's episode is centered around Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Neil connects his college experience to the book, describing the contrast between theoretical vs. applied learning. (5:35) Different learning styles, emphasizing hands-on experience, and the importance of practical understanding over theory.  (10:34) Why is it that not every great athlete can go on to become a great coach? It all comes down to being able to apply and share your knowledge in a given setting. (13:50) Sharing our thoughts on how the story was written, the narrative of the motorcycle trip, and how the sequel compares to this story. (19:34)The author opens the door to a variety of ideas such as learning to be in the present moment and how to focus on one thing at a time. Though Pirsig is intuitive across several domains, we find that he struggles to put these concepts into words.  (24:03) While on a trip with his son and another couple, the author reflects on flashbacks in his life, including the treatment of his past insanity. Through fixing the bike and traveling across the country, he learns many valuable lessons and philosophies along the way. (29:14) We briefly discuss the sequel where Pirsig highlights William James Sidis, known for his incredibly high IQ and profound ideas on the origin of life.  (33:34) Comparing bike riding to a full-body meditation. Each limb has a specific task to operate the bike, and you have to be focused on the road in front of you, truly bringing yourself to the present moment. (35:01) Nat, Neil, and Adil ponder the concept of Quality, its connection to science, spirituality, and the importance of peace of mind. Quality is all about applying yourself and your senses in the present moment, and being one with what you are doing. (41:45) Nat shares his perspective on the book's cognitive challenges and the reconciliation of theory and practice within the book. (46:09) One unique factor about this book is that it doesn't necessarily mean to give you a conclusive solution at the end. It's all about enjoying the journey, and being okay with the fact that you may not have arrived anywhere by the end of the book.  (49:44) Appreciating the book's humor, comical dialogues, and character depth, with a desire for more insight into the minds of the minor characters. (52:56) It can be very difficult to get started on any project, especially when you think of the whole scope of what you're about to do. If you can start with just one part, it becomes more manageable. We relate this idea to the book writing process. (1:05:28) What are gumption traps, and how can you avoid falling into them? Plus, we give some examples of common gumption traps that you may fall into that diminish your enthusiasm.  (1:12:37) That concludes this episode! If this episode intrigued you, make sure to pick up a copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Next up, we'll be reading Straw Dogs by John Gray.

For example, we were very chuffed to see ... 48A, Chuffed, GLAD; we were also thrilled to see an answer from yesterday make a reappearance, but in an entirely different clue: 59A, Part of the Hollywood monogram J.E.J., EARL; and has this word ever been clued better, we think not -- 57D, Inanimate object with a tongue, SHOE.

What are you hoping for? If what you are hoping for - or hoping in - has disappointed you, it's because it's the wrong hope. Inanimate objects, dreams of a change in circumstances or location, or a sinful person has no ability to satisfy our hearts. The Bible says that we have been given hope that will never put us to shame. In this sermon, Paul Tripp explains what it means to have the “eyes of your hearts enlightened” - knowing the hope and glorious inheritance that is available for the saints.Preached on February 10, 2008.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On Anger, book 2 It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 2 about the irrationality of getting angry with inanimate objects, since this involves attributing an intentionality and agency to them which they do not possess. Seneca also considers whether it is rational for us to transfer that anger to the makers, designers, or craftspeople of those inanimate objects, both human and divine.

Is fully conscious AI just around the corner?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesEarlier this year, Google fired Blake Lemoine, for claiming that the company's chatbot was a self aware person. While the claim was derided, the belief that one day AI will become conscious is widespread and, according to a recent survey, held by 79% of experts. But many claim this is a fundamental error. While machines are becoming ever more capable and intelligent we still have no idea how a machine could create consciousness nor are neuroscientists able to provide an explanation for how the human brain does so.Should we accept that consciousness arises in biological beings and that AI just isn't made of the 'right stuff'? Or, is it possible that a computer that observes, interacts, and represents its own internal state to itself might also give rise to consciousness? Then again, is the puzzle deeper still on the grounds that we have no means of determining whether an intelligent machine, an organism or even a person other than ourselves is conscious or not?Legendary anti-reality theorist Donald Hoffman, fearless computer scientist and philosopher Bernardo Kastrup and distinguished AI ethicist and philosopher Susan Schneider lock horns over the possibility of AI consciousness.

The Most Common Sexual Fantasies (And How To Talk About Them) Participant #1: You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast, sex and relationship advice you can use tonight. Welcome to the sex with Dr. Jess Podcast. I'm your co host, Brandon. We're here with my lovely other half, Dr. Jess. Hey, are you ready to talk sexual fantasies? Are you in a fantasy mood? Like, I know you're not in a great mood today. What? I'm not talking about I'm in a great mood. You're not cranky, but you're something that rhymes with cranky. Okay, yes, I might have been somewhat irritable earlier today, but that phase has passed to a new phase. I'm in a great mood now. You keep telling yourself that. Yeah, exactly. Okay, sexual fantasies. All right. Do you have a lot of them? No, not right now. When did you have a lot of them? Between the ages of twelve and probably 22. Do you think it was an age thing or do you think it was a lack of sex? I think it was both. Probably a lot of the first point there. Actually, no, it was the latter. It was definitely the latter. What am I talking about? Let's be real. You met me at 23. I did. That's why I had a lot of fantasies before because I didn't have that much sex. Well, you had that year in between, I guess, 22 to 23 where you had a lot of sex. No. Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, no. Super awkward. Yeah. I'm kind of like stumbling over my words because as a teenager, I fantasize a lot. Did not have a lot of sex. What did you fantasize about? Inanimate animate objects. The chair, the lamp, grass. Wind you up. A grass. You know what? Maybe I should say these are the things that got me going at the time. Oh, you didn't fantasize it. But rubbing up against them. They were just things that caused me to think sexual thoughts. So what were the sexual thoughts when you eventually got there? I've always been somebody who's been more interested in fantasizing about non celebrity people. It was always attainable. People. No, really? It was never. People would be like, oh, I love to get with I'm going to date myself when I start talking. Are you going to say? Carmen Electra? No, I wasn't going to say cartra. I thought you're going to say Carmen Electra. Cindy Crawford. You really are old. Yes, I know, right? She's beautiful. She is. But my point is that friends that I was around would be like, oh, so and so, or this movie star or that person. And for me it was like, that's never going to happen. Why would I fantasize about that as opposed to fantasizing about somebody that I knew or somebody that I hang on. Work. Were those realistic? No, they weren't realistic either,
