The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V. Colmenero, Alexandra Nelson, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, George A. Mashour, and Richard E. Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V. K. Kumar, L. Woodside, and R. J. Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary. Fancourt is cleaner for the main script body.Archaeology and Deep History of DrumsLawergren, Bo. “Neolithic Drums in China.” In Music Archaeology in China. 2006. Use for clay drums in Neolithic China and the deep-history claim that drums are not just poetic symbols of antiquity. They appear in the archaeological record as instruments tied to early sound-making, ceremony, and social order.Both, Arnd Adje. “Music Archaeology: Some Methodological and Theoretical Considerations.” Use as general support for why ancient instruments should be treated as ritual and social evidence, not merely decorative objects.Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Ritual, and TranceRouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Translated by Brunhilde Biebuyck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. Essential source. Use for the caution that music does not mechanically or universally cause trance. Rouget helps keep the argument academically serious by emphasizing culture, ritual frame, meaning, and expectation.Becker, Judith.

I have noticed that in the Kali Yuga, although the last pillar supposedly is truthfulness, that seems to have been eroding quite quickly. I have noticed, however, that oftentimes people make public statements in a political setting, but then, when they're under deposition, they completely change their story because they know that in deposition under oath, you're liable for telling the truth and can be held accountable for it. Well, those brave souls who are accepting initiation are putting themselves under scrutiny. Freedom requires responsibility. rāga-dveṣa-vimuktais tu viṣayān indriyaiś caran ātma-vaśyair vidheyātmā prasādam adhigacchati Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad Gītā (BG 2.64), "If you want to be free, you have to take responsibility. You have to be vigilant to maintain freedom." Supposedly, one of our statesmen—although it may be apocryphal—said this about maintaining freedom in democracy: It requires vigilance. So today, as you take your vows, you're making a stand against the eons of living in darkness and prevaricating in speech, and taking the path of the saints. mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye Those who follow the saints, Ṛṣabhadeva (SB 5.5.2) says can enter into the door of liberation by following the footsteps of the great souls. So the chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa is what the great liberated souls do and what they advocate for. And today, when you take vows in front of the devotees, in front of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta, in front of your guru-varga, then you're taking responsibility for your advancement. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Best practices for hospital-based initiation of medications for opioid use disorder: A consensus statement JAMA Network Open This survey study used a 2-round Delphi process to develop expert consensus on best practices for hospital-based MOUD initiation for patients with OUD, with a goal to provide guidance on changing inpatient addiction treatment in response to increased synthetic opioids in the unregulated drug supply. A total of 42 expert clinicians participated; clinicians were considered a national expert if they had cared for at least 100 hospitalized patients with OUD in the last two years. There was consensus that buprenorphine and methadone initiation in the hospital setting were appropriate, with less support for hospital-based naltrexone initiation. Consensus was also reached to support rapid methadone initiation; high- and low-dose buprenorphine initiation; and provision of non-MOUD full agonist opioids for treatment of opioid withdrawal during methadone initiation, as a bridge to buprenorphine initiation, and for those declining MOUD.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM  

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Experiencers, Disclosure, and the Consciousness Behind UFO Contact Guests, Meredith Spearman, Holly Ann Wood and Richard Monck Introducing the UAP Experiencer Discussion In this episode of New Realities, Alan Steinfeld presents a UAPedia-sponsored discussion from the latest UAP Con, focused on UFO contact, anomalous experiences, consciousness, and the experiencer community. The panel features Meredith Spearman, Holly Ann Wood, and Richard Monk, each bringing a personal and research-based perspective to the topic. Alan frames the conversation around the challenge of integrating extraordinary experiences into a culture that often rejects or ridicules them, especially when those experiences do not fit ordinary scientific, social, or psychological frameworks. Meredith Spearman on Silence, Initiation, and Witnessing Meredith Spearman shares her childhood contact experience, beginning around age eight, and describes how the encounter dissolved the boundary between observer and observed. She explains that the phenomenon seemed to meet her rather than simply appear before her, creating a mutual and deeply transformative experience. Meredith says the experience ran through family lines, along with a learned silence around it, and that she carried it privately for decades before writing and speaking publicly. She frames contact not as hallucination, but as a form of initiation that can dissolve old identity, force a revision of reality, expand relational awareness, and permanently change a person's understanding of existence. Containers for Extraordinary Experience A major part of Meredith's presentation focuses on the need for social and cultural “containers” to help people integrate experiences that disrupt ordinary reality. She compares modern experiencers to ancient initiates, shamans, mystics, and those who crossed thresholds in traditions such as Eleusis, where ritual, elders, preparation, and community helped turn crisis into transformation. Without such support, she argues, the same experience can leave a person isolated or broken. She also compares experiencer testimony to pain in medicine, saying that even when the cause cannot be proven externally, the lived experience still deserves recognition, compassion, and care. Holly Ann Wood on Contact, Consciousness, and Safe Spaces Holly Ann Wood, known as “That UAP Girl,” shares her own childhood encounter with three orange orbs near the ancient white horse carved into the chalk hills of Wiltshire. She explains that the experience did not feel random or distant, but present, aware, and interactive. Holly emphasizes that UAP encounters are not only scientific questions, but human ones, affecting people psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically. She argues that experiencers need safe spaces where they can speak without stigma, process what happened, and realize they are not alone, which led her to create Project Nano as a place to discover, discuss, and disclose these experiences. Richard Monk on High Strangeness and Personal Transformation Richard Monk discusses three unusual experiences from his life that he once saw as separate, but later began to understand as connected through the lens of high strangeness. As a child in 1980, he saw a classic saucer-shaped craft near a cloud while a nearby girl did not see it, raising questions about perception, manifestation, and the relationship between witness and phenomenon. He also describes having an imaginary friend named Nicholas as a child and later learning that imaginary companions sometimes appear in the histories of people who report UAP encounters. Finally, he shares a near-death-like experience involving a profound, loving nothingness that later helped him explore consciousness, the pleroma, and the possibility that these events form part of a deeper personal curriculum. Disclosure, Empathy, and a New Reality The panel discussion turns to how experiencers can help society move toward disclosure. Alan, Meredith, Holly, and Richard discuss whether humanity is going through a collective initiation, whether personal disclosure may matter as much as official disclosure, and how the public can learn to acknowledge experiences without needing to fully explain them first. Meredith emphasizes that the empathy question can be answered before the ontological question: even if we cannot prove exactly what happened, we can still recognize that someone experienced something meaningful. The episode closes with UAPedia's presentation of its mission as a trusted UAP knowledge hub, bringing together research, testimony, documents, claims, cases, and experiencer perspectives into a more coherent public resource.

Here's a thought worth sitting with. The single most powerful thing we can do to fight climate change is move toward clean energy. Solar, wind, hydro. Energy that doesn't cost the earth to produce. But while the big picture shifts, there's plenty we can do right now in our own lives. Think about the 5 Rs of Sustainability. Refuse what you don't need. Reduce what you use. Reuse what you already have. Repurpose the things that still have life in them. And recycle whatever is left. Start with just one of those this week. Pick the easiest one. Then build from there. Small choices, made by millions of people, add up to something enormous. The music we love was born from a culture that respected the land. Let's honor that.

Daniel Faigin emailed re: Android Shuffle Apps: "Marc: I primarily listen to music via my iPod Classic (extensive smart playlists, all on shuffle). But all my music (around 58,000 tracks), is on my Android phone, and there I used the Gone Mad Music Player. It can play the music downloaded to your device, and has a smart playlist equivalent to the iPod / iTunes capability. It's the backup for my iPod Classic. Just search for it on Google Play; it does require a small payment to support development and unlock full capabilities. Alas, fewer phone manufacturers are supporting an external memory card (critical when you have a lot of music)  -  -  Samsung might at the lowest level, as well as Motorola. Other than that, you need more storage if you download music." Gershon commented on Patreon: "Sitting here in my favorite chair,  listening to #754, two dogs at my feet, reading and sipping my evening tea I heard your commentary regarding our wayward President and feckless Congress. Thank you!  You are on the right side of history. I appreciate this after the horrific week we've had. I am even prouder now to be a supporter and fan. Keep up the good work and make "good trouble."

Podcast Notes: The Most Overlooked Sexual Skill in Marriage Many married couples want deeper sexual intimacy but struggle with one surprisingly common issue: initiation. In this episode of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey discuss why initiating sex often feels awkward, vulnerable, or emotionally risky—even in healthy marriages. While culture often portrays sex as completely spontaneous and effortless, real marriage rarely works that way. Most couples were never taught how to initiate intimacy in healthy, safe, and mutually loving ways, which can create misunderstanding, fear of rejection, and emotional distance over time. The Harveys explain how differences in desire styles—especially spontaneous desire versus responsive desire—can create confusion between spouses. One spouse may feel rejected when the other does not immediately respond with excitement, while the other spouse may simply need emotional connection, affection, or mental preparation before desire develops. This does not mean the marriage is broken or that attraction has disappeared. Instead, couples often need healthier expectations and better communication around intimacy. The episode also explores practical tools that can reduce awkwardness and pressure, including agreed-upon cues, scheduling intimacy, lowering the emotional stakes of “no,” and viewing sexual initiation as an invitation to connection rather than a demand for performance. Drawing from Scripture such as Song of Solomon 1:4 and the biblical concept of yada (“to know”), the Harveys remind listeners that sex in marriage is ultimately about intimacy, unity, and becoming one. Healthy sexual intimacy grows when couples build emotional safety, communicate openly, honor each other's differences, and approach intimacy with mutual care rather than self-centeredness. Initiation is not something couples instinctively know how to do well—it is a learnable skill that can strengthen closeness, trust, and connection in marriage over time.

He has been featured on Gaia's Mysteries of the Knights Templar and leads international expeditions exploring sites connected to Templar history and pre-civilization knowledge.In this conversation, Faust and Hogan explore how the accepted history of the Knights Templar may only scratch the surface. From their early origins and hidden timeline to their suppression in 1307 and the events behind Friday the 13th, the discussion traces how the Order preserved ancient knowledge across civilizations. They connect the Templars to Atlantis, pre-Columbian America, and the deeper Gnostic traditions that later influenced Freemasonry and other secret societies, raising questions about what was truly discovered and why it had to be hidden.In this episode:• Origin of Friday the 13th: what happened to Jacques de Molay and the Knights Templar in 1307• Gnostic view of Jesus: why the Templars saw him as an initiate, not a savior• Atlantis and lost civilization: how ancient knowledge may connect Egypt, the Mayans, and Aztlan• Templars in America: the Kensington Rune Stone, Newport Tower, and evidence before Columbus• Freemasonry and Rosicrucians: how Templar teachings were carried into modern secret societies• Initiation and resurrection: the hidden meaning of “waking up” in Gnostic traditions• Forbidden texts and Kabbalah: claims the Templars recovered early Zohar teachings• Göbekli Tepe and ancient sites: what Templar activity suggests about their global reachIf the Knights Templar were preserving something far older than recorded history, the real question isn't what they found — it's why that knowledge was never meant to surface.Watch Gaia Mysteries of the Templarshttps://www.gaia.com/series/mysteries-of-the-knights-templarConnect with Tim Hoganhttps://www.timothywhogan.com/https://x.com/timothywhoganhttps://www.youtube.com/@grandmasterhoganhttps://www.instagram.com/grandmasterhogan/https://www.facebook.com/grandmastertimothyhogan/https://www.tiktok.com/@grandmasterhoganLearn about the Templarshttps://www.templarcollegia.org/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™#Templars #Freemasons #AlternativeHistorywe'd love to hear from you

On today's episode of The CLS Experience we have a mini bonus injection of consciousness. Dive into the idea that real transformation begins the moment you stop negotiating with your future. Explore why every delay, hesitation, and “I'll start when” story is often disguised comfort keeping you from your next level. Discover how true change requires cost, courage, and the willingness to close one chapter so another can fully begin. This episode challenges you to identify the exact conversation, boundary, decision, or action you've been postponing and turn it into an initiation this week, not someday. Step into a powerful visualization of “burning the ships,” where retreat is no longer an option and a stronger version of you becomes unavoidable. Learn the difference between motivation and initiation, and why half commitment preserves safety while full commitment rewrites identity. This is not about trying harder, it's about deciding differently.

The 20th century's discovery of LSD and subsequent use of various psychedelics in both therapeutic practice and popular culture has been a deeply transformational event in modern civilization. It has carried the power of a collective initiatory rite of passage, yet often without an adequately containing ritual structure, indigenous wisdom tradition, or clinical knowledge to mediate that transformation. * In this episode CIIS Professor Emeritus and cultural historian Richard Tarnas examines the larger historical and evolutionary context that brought forth the psychedelic awakening of the 1950s and 1960s. He explores the work of therapists and researchers Stansilav Grof and C. G. Jung, and discusses the larger impact that psychedelics have had and continue to have on our civilization in crisis. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on February 5th 2026.

What many of us are missing in modern life is a right of passage that brings us into an expansion on our path through sacred initiation. And when that right of passage is performed on sacred lands that have magical beings like Ireland, it can be even more incredible. Today's guest is Neils Vantzuriel. For over 10 years, he and his partner have guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self abandonment. Join us, to find out more! Neils Vantzuriel is deeply dedicated to personal and spiritual development. He is an archeologist with intimate knowledge of Ireland's sacred ancient sites, living entities holding secrets from millennia past. Liminal spaces, where the veil is thin. Found in forgotten remote areas such as secluded grottos, caves, sacred wells or specific structures that contain “memory traces” or specialized artifacts of a period of personal challenge, learning, and vulnerability and represent a change in identity, shape, social cohesion, and transform individuals from one social role to another. Neils is a Co-architect of The Arrival Method, a 4-6 month sacred initiation culminating in a 6 day Rite of Passage journey. Neils guides women along their journey of reconnection to ancient wisdom, spiritual healing through ritual and story telling for self discovery. Watch or listen to the show for practical tips to stop self abandoning and ways to become the woman you always felt you were meant to be. You’re Invited! LEARN MORE: AdventuresInQuietPlaces.info   NIELS VANTZURIEL BIO Niels is a Rite of Passage facilitator and the co-architect of The Arrival Method. For over 10 years, he has guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self-abandonment. Moving beyond the exhausted “no pain, no gain” paradigm of traditional growth, Niels pioneers the “Pleasure Path”; a ‘biological exit strategy’ for the overworked and burned out professional woman. By blending deep trance work, transformative storytelling, and the hard neurobiology of bliss, he helps women safely bypass their brain’s logic gatekeeper to fundamentally rewire their subconscious operating system. His work utilizes ecstatic states to induce transient hypofrontality, allowing for profound neuroplasticity and rapid identity-level shifts without the need for looping therapy or trauma-mining. Niels does not host retreats; he curates structural identity upgrades. Through carefully held ceremonies at hidden thresholds far off the tourist paths, he provides the exact space, science, and containment required for a woman to stop fixing herself and finally step into her undeniable sovereignty. blend of spiritual depth, practical strategy, and bold authenticity, Niels brings catalytic energy and deep insight to every conversation.

He was a little boy. You were the woman who paid for it. You didn't fall in love with a man. You fell in love with a seven year old who hadn't grieved his childhood yet.And until he does, he will sabotage every relationship that gets close enough to matter.Ryan Moresby-White works with hundreds of men, fathers, CEOs, men in their 70s, helping them do the one thing society never taught them: grieve. He's built a multi-million dollar company doing it. And he's one of the most embodied, present men I've ever sat across from.In this episode, Ryan gets completely honest about the relationship he lost because of his own unresolved wounds, the four hours he spent on a bathroom floor in Bali vomiting after she left, and the nine months on the grass on the Sunshine Coast that changed everything.This is the episode I made for the women in my world who are tired of carrying men who don't know they're still boys.

Send us Fan MailHow dietary fatty acids regulate the initiation, propagation, and resolution of inflammation.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Parenteral nutrition history: IV nutrition evolved from soybean oil alone in the 1960s to complex blends including fish oil as the biology of ω-3s became understood.Three phases of inflammation: Initiation, propagation (driven by ω-6–derived prostaglandins and leukotrienes), and active resolution (driven by ω-3-derived resolvins and protectins).Pro-resolving mediators: Resolution is an active biological process, not passive; EPA and DHA generate resolvins and protectins that actively terminate inflammation.Aspirin's ω-3 mechanism: Aspirin inhibits arachidonic acid metabolism but allows EPA/DHA to access COX-2, upregulating pro-resolution mediators — a likely underappreciated mechanism of action.Cell membrane competition: EPA and DHA physically displace arachidonic acid in membranes, shifting the balance of mediators produced and improving resolution capacity.Linoleic acid & EPA synthesis: High linoleic acid intake saturates shared desaturase enzymes, inhibiting the body's conversion of ALA to EPA — meaning reducing ω-6 can raise ω-3 levels without supplementation.Dose & timing of ω-3 incorporation: ~2g/day of EPA+DHA shifts the arachidonic acid-to-EPA ratio enough to measurably reduce prostaglandin E2 production; white blood cells reflect changes within a month.ABOUT THE GUEST: Philip Calder, PhD is Professor of Nutritional Immunology in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton. His research focuses on how dietary fatty acids — particularly omega-3s — modulate immune responses and inflammatory processes across clinical and healthy populations.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon Cancer & Chronic Disease | Tim Yeatman & Ganesh HaladeSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

I expected this conversation to be about coaching and vision quests. It became something else entirely. Early on, Ryan said something I couldn't move past: There is grief in the gap between who we say we want to be and who we are becoming. What followed was a grounded, honest exploration of grief—not as something to fix or move past, but as something to be with. Ryan is a transformational coach and wilderness guide who leads vision quest experiences—modern rites of passage that invite people to step away from their daily lives and listen more deeply. In this conversation, we explore: What it means to "be with" your own experience Why modern life leaves so much grief unprocessed The role of nature as a container for reflection and transformation How initiation and rites of passage create space for real change This is not a conversation about escaping your life. It's about learning how to be more fully present within it. Walk with us.

Outpatient Direct Initiation of Injectable Buprenorphine in a Harm Reduction Agency and Primary Care Clinic: A Retrospective Case Series Journal of Addiction Medicine Initiating weekly long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) without prior sublingual buprenorphine (“direct-to-inject” or DTI) may reduce buprenorphine initiation barriers. In this case series, outpatient DTI outcomes are described. Of the 23 patients with available data, 19 (83%) had no withdrawal symptoms pre-DTI. Of the 20 patients with documented post-DTI withdrawal symptoms, 3 (15%) had no withdrawal, 12 (60%) had mild, 4 (20%) had moderate, and one (5%) patient had severe withdrawal. Thirty days post-DTI, 14 (58%) patients were retained on any buprenorphine formulation, and 11 (46%) patients were retained at 90 days. The median post-DTI buprenorphine treatment days were 77 (range: 9–90).  The majority of patients had no pre-DTI withdrawal symptoms, no or mild withdrawal symptoms post-DTI, and were retained on buprenorphine at 30 days post-DTI, with nearly half retained at 90 days. DTI is a promising buprenorphine initiation strategy, but further research is warranted.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

From Isolation to Initiation | Relationshifts | Blake Ellis by First Christian Church

“For many former Smokejumpers, smokejumping is not closely tied with their (current) way of life, but is more something that was necessary for them to pass through and not around, and, once unmistakably done, does not have to be done again. The “it” is within, and is the need to settle some things with the universe and ourselves before taking on the “business of the world.” This “it” is the something special within that demands we do something special, and “it” could be within a lot of us.” —Norman Maclean, Young Men and FireFriends, how are we to understand the story of our lives as it unfolds across the years? What meaning do we give to our failures and our faithfulness, our losses and our triumphs, the long disappointments and the surprising gifts we never would have chosen—yet somehow needed? And how do we recognize true growth, not only in our own maturing, but in our apprenticeship to Jesus and the life of His Kingdom?Dietrich Bonhoeffer once suggested that the cost of not following Jesus is, in the end, far greater—even in this life alone—than the cost of walking with Him. For discipleship is not merely a matter of belief, but of learning to live in intimate fellowship with Christ, slowly being formed into the kind of people He Himself would be, if He were to live our lives in our place.In this next episode of the Become Good Soil Foundations Series, we explore apprenticeship and initiation as two essential lenses for making sense of this question: how our small, particular stories are caught up into something far larger—the redemptive and unfolding story of God.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie

Are you ready to stop clinging to the old world? This is a special deep-dive into the Sedna archetype—the gatekeeper to the new world. It’s the most-replayed section from our recent transmission: “TIMELINE SHIFT — You Can't Enter the New World With an Old Contract.” Watch here The shift of 2026 isn’t just an astrological date on a calendar—it’s a shamanic rite of passage. We are entering the territory of Sedna, the emerging archetype that acts as the final gatekeeper to the New World. In this transmission, we dive deep into the “Sedna Gauntlet.” Sedna shows us exactly where we are still finding a false sense of safety in the old, crumbling patriarchal systems—what I call the “slavery contract.” Whether it's your relationship, your finances, or your sense of self, Sedna is here to poke at the places where you're still clinging to the boat, even when it's sinking. In this video, we explore: • The Sedna Myth: Why her fingers had to be cut off and what that means for your own disempowerment. • The 3 Stages of Sedna: From the “Shitty Known” to the “Dark Night of the Soul,” and finally, the rebirth into the Immortal Goddess. • The 2026 Astrology: Why Venus, Uranus, and Mars are all moving through the Sedna Gauntlet right now to wake up your high magic. • Shamanic Rebirth: How to move through the rage and betrayal of the old system to become a fertile life-bringer.

If you've named the pattern, understood the wound, and done the work—but you still can't fully choose differently in the moment—it's because the “Slavery Contract” isn’t in your head. It's in your nervous system. This isn’t about more insight. It’s about Initiation. Join us for the Alchemical Healers journey with Sedna, Chiron & Hygeia.

Summary: Masonic Muscle — Pagan Mystery Origins EpisodeThis episode of Masonic Muscle explores one of the most controversial and intellectually provocative theories about Freemasonry—the idea that its roots trace back not just to medieval stonemasons, but to the ancient pagan mystery schools of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.The Pagan Mystery Theory suggests that Freemasonry preserves the structure and symbolism of ancient initiation systems. These mystery schools used secrecy, ritual progression, and symbolic death-and-rebirth experiences to transform initiates—elements strikingly similar to modern Masonic degrees. (Universal Co-Masonry)This theory gained momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries, when scholars and Masons began looking beyond operative guild origins. Influential figures like Antoine Court de Gébelin, Albert Pike, and Manly P. Hall argued that Masonic symbols and teachings echoed ancient religious and philosophical traditions. Their work framed Freemasonry as a continuation of universal wisdom, rather than a purely medieval institution.Supporters of the theory point to strong symbolic parallels:Initiation rituals centered on transformationShared themes of light, darkness, and rebirthSecret teachings revealed progressivelySome Masonic writers even argue that ancient pagan mysteries functioned similarly to modern lodges—preserving deeper truths through symbolic instruction and initiation. (Universal Co-Masonry)However, critics push back hard.Opponents argue there is no direct historical evidence linking ancient mystery schools to modern Freemasonry. Most historians instead trace Freemasonry to medieval stonemason guilds that evolved into philosophical societies over time. (MasonicFind)The debate ultimately comes down to this:Proponents: See continuity in symbolism and philosophyOpponents: Demand documented historical lineageThe truth likely sits in the middle—Freemasonry may not descend directly from pagan mysteries, but it almost certainly drew inspiration from ancient traditions during its intellectual development.Beyond history, the episode emphasizes a deeper message: Freemasonry is not just about where it came from—it's about what it does to you. The rituals, symbols, and teachings are tools for transformation, regardless of their origin.To bring that idea into the modern world, Masonic Muscle ties this philosophy to physical discipline. Just as ancient initiates underwent trials, modern Masons are encouraged to strengthen both mind and body through:Consistent training over motivationMastery of foundational exercises (push-ups, squats, pull-ups)Building mental resilience through physical effortThe takeaway is clear: whether the roots are medieval or ancient, the purpose remains the same—self-mastery.#MasonicMuscle #Freemasonry #MasonicPodcast #AncientMysteries #EsotericKnowledge #Brotherhood #SelfMastery #MindAndBody #MasonicLife #HiddenHistory #Philosophy #Initiation #MensWork #Discipline #StrengthAndHonor

Has it always been clear to you where you fit into the world? -- what your purpose is, what you contribute, what your "worth" or "value" is, as a man.If so, you're in the minority these days.A modern young man has no official initiation into adulthood -- no rite of passage. So he often ends up "adrift on a sea of shame," as story weaver and healthy masculinity educator Djeli Celestia, puts it.That line alone stopped me cold, because I've seen it so many times in the men I work with: They know what they don't want to be (i.e. like their dad), but no map for how to become who they do want to be. No elder handed them a compass. No ritual marked the threshold. And adrift youth frequently grow up into adrift adults — older, but still lost.So what's the solution?Here, healthy masculinity educators Scott and Djeli dig into what rites of passage actually are, why modern culture has nearly lost them, and what happens — to men, to relationships, to family systems — when they're missing. They also share about the beauty and possibility that opens up when we restore these relatively simple but powerful practices.For example, Djeli shares his own personal story of taking his own son into the woods for a rite of passage at 18 — and what his son left behind with the trees. I'll let him tell you. But I will say: I was deeply moved.If you're a man who has felt a certain kind of ache — the sense that something important was never handed to you — this one's for you. And if you're in the "sandwich generation," parenting below while navigating aging parents above, there's something in here about how the healing you do ripples in both directions.---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

It's also about what he left there."“We have to have that sense of where we belong in this web of life.”"It's when we add wisdom to getting older that we become elders.""How can I step up?"“When we initiate action, we can invite in change.”

What if the government confirming UFOs are real is actually the least interesting part of disclosure?Joshua Golembeske, head of production at Gaia and UFO disclosure advocate, breaks down why contact isn't about craft and bodies in a government warehouse — it's about what happens to human consciousness when it gets close to these beings.

As a pattern reader, I can't ignore this. Everyone I know is standing at a threshold; on the edge of leaving behind an old life… an old identity… an old way of being, and stepping into something entirely new that hasn't fully formed yet. No clear path. No certainty. Just a knowing that something (BIG) has to change. If that's where you are… you're not alone. And over the last 15 years (and thousands of hours coaching high performers, CEOs, and people standing at these exact turning points) I've seen the formula of what is required at this cliff; to jump and fly into a new timeline and reality: The Leap Code. In this episode, I'm teaching a 3-step Numerology initiation that explains what we need to understand, recognize and believe, to succeed in the new era on the horizon. Inside this masterclass, you'll discover: The real reason your old strategies, goals, or identity aren't working anymore How misalignment is actually the first sign you're being called into a new reality Why the Quantum Field/Universe will stop responding to your ‘desires’ all of a sudden The specific number in your chart that allows you to actually take the leap and get your magic back And how to recognize your unique gifts (your “magic”) and begin building your life from them This isn't about forcing a pivot or making a drastic external change. It's about recognizing who you really are… and choosing to believe in it enough to build a life from it. Because the real leap of faith isn't the action or the outcome… it really is from self-belief.
