Welcome to an engaging episode of the Right on Radio, where hosts navigate through the increasingly complex world of news and geopolitics with a unique spiritual lens. This episode dives deep into the challenges of discerning truths amidst the sea of misinformation and psychological operations (PSYOPs) dominating mainstream media and global discourse. The hosts begin by discussing a significant yet controversial interview involving former Congressman Weldon, exploring the underlying questions of timing and influence, and speculating about larger agendas at play. Is there more to these events than meets the eye? With Trump still a key figure in political maneuverings, his role is scrutinized—could he be orchestrating beyond the obvious? Amidst these contemplations, the hosts find solace in scripture, facilitating a captivating segment called 'Word on Word,' where two biblical scriptures are analyzed for their current-day relevance and personal impact. Adding depth to the discussion, John, a regular guest of the show whose online presence is anchored by his investigative platform "We've Read the Documents," joins in. The conversation branches out to geopolitical hotspots, specifically tensions between Israel and Iran, and broader Middle Eastern dynamics. The episode doesn't shy away from contentious topics such as religious double standards, the persecution of Christians, and the potential for significant geopolitical shifts driven by religious and political elites. A critical theme throughout this episode is the recognition of increasing global tensions and potential catalysts for World War III. The hosts offer insights into the potential manipulation of warfare narratives and emphasize the importance of spiritual vigilance and preparedness. With AI and surveillance technology on the rise, the conversation segues into the shadowy world of pre-crime and the ethical implications of such advancements in places like the UK and beyond. Interwoven with humor and candidness, the hosts also reflect on the sincere yet sometimes misdirected intentions within the Christian community, shedding light on prosperity gospels, false prophets, and the delicate balance of faith in tumultuous times. Wrapping up with reflections on human nature and spirituality, this episode challenges listeners to critically engage with both worldly and spiritual occurrences.

"This composition tells the story of an iron bridge, interweaving history, tragedy, and renewal. Drawing from Franz Kafka's enigmatic short story The Bridge and Renzo Piano's speech at the inauguration of the Genoa Saint George Bridge, it explores the profound symbolism of bridges—not just as structures, but as living entities that connect, endure, and sometimes fall. "At the heart of this work are two iconic bridges: The Iron Bridge, Gorge – The world's first iron bridge, completed in 1779 over the River Severn, a pioneering feat of engineering and a tribute to human ingenuity. The Saint George Bridge, Genoa – Designed by Renzo Piano, this bridge was born from tragedy, rising in place of the collapsed Ponte Morandi, which claimed lives on August 14, 2018. Its reconstruction symbolises resilience and the power of renewal. "The composition is deeply connected to sound as a storytelling medium. The barking of dogs forms the foundation of the recording, evoking both a raw, primal presence and the echoes of history. To further enhance the conceptual depth, I chose a quote from Kafka's The Bridge to be read by an AI voice. This artificial rendering of Kafka's words adds an uncanny, almost spectral presence—blurring the line between the human and the mechanical, much like the bridges themselves, which are both engineered structures and deeply symbolic entities. "Interwoven with the music of renowned composer Lucio Lazzaruolo, these sonic elements create an immersive and emotional landscape—one where bridges breathe, speak, and remember. "By merging Kafka's poetic vision of bridges as human-like beings with the legacies of these remarkable structures, this piece seeks to exalt the heritage, memory, and deeper meaning of bridges in our world." Ironbridge Gorge reimagined by Giovanna Iorio (concept) Lucio Lazzaruolo (music). ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

What is the true nature of contemplation, and how does it intertwine with our understanding of reality? John Vervaeke is joined by Mateusz Stróżyński to discuss his masterful work, Plotinus and the Contemplation of the Intelligible World. They explore the deep and often overlooked wisdom of Plotinus, one of history's greatest thinkers. Together, they dive into the connection between thought and experience, revealing how contemplation isn't just about thinking it's about actively participating in reality itself. Mr. Stróżyński breaks down Plotinus' intricate view of the universe, showing how everything is woven together in a way that challenges our modern, fragmented way of seeing the world. They go on to discuss the nature of the self and what it means to truly “know” something, touching on insights from Buddhist Dzogchen, Christian mysticism, and personal experience. Mateusz Stróżyński is a professor of classical philology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, and a practicing psychoanalyst. His research focuses on the intersection of Platonism, mysticism, and spirituality, exploring how ancient philosophical traditions inform modern contemplative practice.

Brian Jeffrey is a paranormal investigator in Farragut, Tennessee, who's served in the US Army and as a former Park Ranger. After historical readings about wild men & feral children, we open on Knoxville's urban sprawl. From there we get to the topic at hand, feral people of Appalachia, more specifically, within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park: from Brian's adventures searching them out & finding tracks; to rumors of cannibalism; strange tunnels; accounts from an attacked ginseng digger & a homesteader who claims she shot one. Interwoven is the mysterious local story of a boy named Dennis Martin who vanished in 1969 while on a family camping trip. Beyond the feral, Brian shares his own frightening paranormal stories that took place on Black Mountain where we hear of portals; a witch's burned down cabin; and a nightmarish murderer. We close on Brian's ruminations on both the intoxicating & yet taxing effects of supernatural research with examples from a shocking photograph & dark memories from the US border. Check out Brian's Black Mass Paranormal YouTube channel where I sampled clips from his Black Mountain portal experience, witch hauntings & a paranormal attack.

If you've been here on the channel for sometime, you know we have been large proponents of the application specific designs. We have been vocal about the customizability benefits of appchains, amidst other key advantages like sovereignty and more control over blockspace. However, one of the largest pushbacks we've received (and thought through) is around the interoperability issues of a world of thousands of rollups. As part of our ongoing NYC chain abstraction focused content blitz, we were joined by Zon from Initia, to discuss how Initia blends the best parts of Ethereum's rollup ecosystem with Cosmos's flexibility. We discussed the integration of certain elements like IBC, oracles, native chain abstraction with an Initia wallet, enshrined liquidity, and their VIP program which make the experience on the interwoven stack unique and differentiated. We also asked Zon about the application space on Initia and learned about several of the native apps building on their stack.

In this episode of 'Sleepy Seedlings: The Bedtime Podcast with Trees', we journey into the peaceful embrace of an aspen grove, where each tree is connected by unseen roots beneath the surface. With the soft sound of wind rustling through the quaking leaves, we explore the profound interconnectedness of the quaking aspen and the deep lessons it teaches us about community, resilience, and renewal. Let the ancient wisdom of the aspens guide you to a place of calm as we uncover their quiet strength and enduring spirit. As the wind flows gently through the grove, we reflect on the way these trees thrive together, their roots forming a vast network that supports new growth even after the harshest of seasons. Through history, botany, and the stillness of the natural world, this episode invites you to rest in the knowledge that, like the aspens, we are all part of something greater, something enduring. Drift into a deep sleep with the aspen grove's soothing presence and timeless wisdom. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Once again, it was very loud and noisy with all the arcade games but we still had great conversation. Play Arcade is “an old-school 80's style arcade offering a full-service bar, craft-made drinks, and food…” and over 40 vintage arcade games and a rooftop deck overlooking the working waterfront in the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.

This revival has brought a new and lasting vibrancy to downtown. We would love you dearly if you would consider making a donation to The Southcoast Artists Index.
Part two of this three-part series on dancefloors and belonging examines how we experience intimacy and a sense of vague belonging. We look at the complex conflicted feelings of our lives that introduce paradox in a queer approach to analysis that draws upon magical realism. We examine the notion of an intimate public and how our constructions and projects of a “we” inform our feelings of belonging. Finally, the episode looks at senses of vague belonging and vague intimacy that are most profoundly experienced on dancefloors. Interwoven are reflections on peacebuilding and how peacebuilders may use the arts to lubricate spaces for vague belonging and multilayered affective experience.The Music & Peacebuilding Podcast is hosted by Kevin Shorner-Johnson at Elizabethtown College.

My special guest tonight is Sonja Grace who's here to discuss the wisdom of the natural world. Sonja says she has many different abilities to gather this knowledge such as spirit communication, healer and time traveling. Her book is called Dancing with Raven and Bear. Original tales inspired by Native American and Norwegian folklore that highlight the wisdom of the divine natural world • Shares unique stories about Earth Medicine and animal magic, inspired by the author's unusual Native American (Hopi) and Norwegian upbringing • Interwoven with ancient teachings and everyday practical applications of Earth Medicine, such as grounding and dream interpretation • Each tale is beautifully illustrated with the author's original art, which promotes spiritual understanding and the power of the Earth's healing properties • Paper with French flaps Drawing on both her Native American (Hopi) heritage and her Norwegian upbringing, renowned mystic and intuitive healer Sonja Grace shares original wisdom tales, received through her heart and soul, to take you on a journey into the magic of Raven and Bear and the healing power of Earth Medicine. Featuring Sonja's distinctive and beautiful artwork, each story is embedded with ancient teachings to inspire you to live closer to the Earth. The fables include powerful examples of animal magic and everyday, practical applications of Earth Medicine, such as simple energy exercises, dream interpretations, Earth Medicine prayers and meditations, and using medicinal plants to manage negative energies. As background to the stories, Sonja reveals parallels between Norse mythology and Native American traditions and explores the symbology of animals and the recurring central theme of the tension between light and darkness. In Norse myth, the great god Odin, for instance, is often accompanied by Ravens. These birds are considered manifestations of the Valkyries, the goddesses who brought brave soldiers to Valhalla, while in Native American traditions, the Raven is viewed as a trickster or messenger, a magical creature with the ability to shapeshift into a human or animal, yet also portrayed as a hero overcoming adversity. The Bear on the other hand can embody the healer who grounds our energy and removes illness or can represent the inner part of us that has faith. In one fable, Sonja brings Bear to life as a mythical creature singing songs to bring in the light, reflecting the powerful lesson that by using our voice and speaking the truth we can hold darkness at bay. Throughout all of the stories, Raven and Bear teach us to be responsible for our actions and develop spiritual accountability.

A Discussion About Breaking Walled Gardens At Interwoven Day 2024 with
What if the names matter? What if our acknowledgement of life's oneness matters? Matters to what? You may ask. Yes! But really, how?Cari takes us on a journey through The One Living System, a profoundly simply interconnectedness of life that emphasizes our connection and not our roles in Earth. We share personal stories about pets and the meaningful names they bear, as well as the idea of renaming within families to better reflect individual identities. These anecdotes weave a rich tapestry of how names and stories deeply influence our sense of belonging and connection to the world around us.From there, our conversation emerges as Cari sheds light on the power of storytelling in reclaiming our Indigenous roots and understanding our place within the natural world. We delve into how colonization has eroded the intrinsic narratives of First Nations peoples and why reconnecting with these stories is vital for restoring a sense of oneness with nature. Storytelling is likened to a fishing line, binding us together and fostering shared understanding. We also discuss the importance of embodying our connection to nature through our actions and presence, rather than through superficial acknowledgments, offering a more profound relationship with the environment.Lastly, we unravel the intricate relationship between language, science, and sacred rituals in fostering a deeper connection to the living system. "Science gives the sacred form," Cari says. By viewing life as an ongoing conversation, we open ourselves to richer interactions with the natural world. Cari shares insights on the creative joys and challenges of writing, underscoring the power of words in conveying complex ideas. From examining the balance between faith and control in creative projects to the importance of local rituals and community-centered approaches, this episode invites you to rethink your place within the interconnected web of life.

She struggles with the decision to leave behind the religious abuse and control only to find domestic abuse waiting for her on the other side. Will she find the courage to stand up for herself, or will she once again submit to her patriarchal authority figure? Interwoven with humor, poignant memories, and vivid recollections, this is one girl's journey from compliant convert to doubting “exvangelical." - the description from Caton's memoir "Deconstructing: Memoir of a Preacher's Daughter."Purchase her memoir on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2rWZih7Andrew Pledger's LinksFacebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1153866318625322/Join my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerMy Substack: https://speakingupandrewpledger.substack.com/Social Media: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/links-Music: https://www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast.

Cinematographers are really the directors of images while directors are the authors of the performances. Evidently, the collaboration between these two important persons on set with a shared vision and respect influences the work environment and (the ultimate result) the film, a great deal. We're inspired this week by cinematographer, and author, Jacqueline B. Frost's book, Cinematography For Directors: A Guide For Creative Collaboration. She compiled her 30+ expertise in cinematography and production into this book. Its 2nd edition was published in March 2020. The book is a handbook for directors and aspiring filmmakers who want to get the best visuals for their films while establishing a collaborative relationship with their cinematographer. Through interviews with current ASC cinematographers, and a balance between technical, aesthetic, and historical context, this book guides the director into a powerful collaboration with their closest on-set ally.Topics include selecting a cinematographer, collectively discussing the script, choosing an appropriate visual style for a film, color palette, film, and digital formats, lenses, camera movement, genres, and postproduction processes―including the digital intermediate (DI). Interwoven are quotes from working ASC cinematographers.From my own experience directing and working cinematography a few times, it is no secret that the relationship between a director and his cinematographer must be intuitive and non-contradicting. A quick sit down to break down the script, vision and general approach makes the work way easier for every party. Frost's background in fine arts, photography, and cinematography--- merged, has made it easier for her to spot the crevices in approaches or the lack thereof pertaining to DP, and head of images that have been the detriment of many projects.Cinematography for her is a long-time love of the image and the endless learning process that was ignited when she pursued her graduate degree. To date, she's taught cinematography, film, and documentary production at UCLA and through shorter courses and produced over 20 feature films and documentaries. We cover several themes from Frost's book including what directors need to know about aesthetics of lenses, focal length, and its depth of field. Our conversation was definitely like a mini masterclass on cinematography and Jacqueline was a goldmine of knowledge.Enjoy my conversation with Jacqueline B. Frost.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.
"A Poignant Exploration of Aging, Self-Acceptance, and the Mysteries of the Mind"In this profoundly introspective installment of "Fall Asleep with Henrik," the host Henrik Ståhl embarks on a deeply personal journey, grappling with the challenges and complexities of growing older. Rather than shying away from the emotional realities of his own aging, Henrik opens up with raw vulnerability, sharing his struggles to reconcile his youthful spirit with the physical and mental changes of middle age.Throughout the episode, Henrik reflects on the years he spent trying to conform to societal expectations of success and masculinity, acknowledging the regret and shame he feels over his past struggles with alcohol abuse. However, he also celebrates the newfound self-acceptance and creative freedom he has discovered in more recent years, as he has built a life and career centered around his authentic passions.Interwoven with these reflections are Henrik's profound musings on the nature of consciousness, individuality, and the elusive concept of "the self." Drawing connections between the microscopic workings of the human body and the vastness of the universe, he ponders the paradox of being a unique, irreplaceable entity within the broader tapestry of existence.Despite the occasionally melancholic tone, Henrik's delivery remains gentle and thoughtful, creating a relaxing, almost meditative atmosphere. Listeners are encouraged to let his words wash over them, using his stream-of-consciousness as a catalyst for their own introspective journeys.If you're seeking a sleep aid that eschews generic relaxation techniques in favor of a deeply personal, philosophical exploration, press play on this episode of "Fall Asleep with Henrik" and allow this charming Swede to guide you on an odyssey through the complexities of the human experience.

One Handshake Away: Peter Bogdanovich and the Icons of Cinema
Peter Bogdanovich sits down with the iconic American documentarian, Ken Burns, to discuss the work of John Ford. Interwoven with never-before-heard tapes, Burns discusses how Ford was instrumental in shaping his sense of cinema and storytelling, even if Ford's work is based in legend, while Burns' is based in fact.

Margo is joined by Shamanic Practitioner and Spiritual Guide Jade Chen. Jade supports and assists people on their healing journey and believes everyone has the capacity to activate the healer within. Her own awakening journey began in 2016 when life took some major turns and she left both a highly financially secure career and a relationship of over 6 years. She felt she had been living her life in a dazed dream; just going through the motions and trying her best to maintain surface happiness. She began to pray a lot and then reconnect to the spirit world through those prayers, and began to receive some answers. The messages she received included to acknowledge her own experience, pain and trauma and to go inward and hold space for herself in a way that felt real. Since 2016 she's continued to receive messages that have allowed her to grow and evolve while helping others do the same. She works with people one on one and in group settings and also leads healing retreats throughout the year. Margo and Jade discuss: Jade's year of transformation that led her to shamanic and spiritual work What a Shamanic Practitioner is and does Use of practices like meditation and connecting with nature for healing The connection between creativity and spirituality Tapping into our inner-child through creativity The commonality of being an empath among highly creative people Overcoming imposter syndrome and anxiety in sharing creative work And more Connect with Jade: www.mudlotuslife.com www.instagram.com/jadelotuschen Illuminated Women's Business Retreat Connect with Margo: www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.windowsillchats.com www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill
Hello, listeners! I've got a special surprise for you this week. I've been waiting to share this amazing conversation that I enjoyed recently with expat and author Jeannie Marshall about her lovely book, All Things Move: Learning to Look in the Sistine Chapel. What do we hope to get out of seeing a famous piece of art? Jeannie Marshall asked that question of herself when she started visiting the Sistine Chapel frescoes. She wanted to understand their meaning and context―but in the process, she also found what she didn't know she was looking for. All Things Move: Learning to Look in the Sistine Chapel tells the story of Marshall's relationship with one of our most cherished artworks. Interwoven with the history of its making and the Rome of today, it's an exploration of the past in the present, the street in the museum, and the way a work of art can both terrify and alchemize the soul. An impassioned defense of the role of art in a fractured age, All Things Move is a quietly sublime meditation on how our lives can be changed by art, if only we learn to look. About the author: Jeannie Marshall is a writer who has been living in Italy with her family since 2002. A nonfiction author, journalist, and former staff features writer at the National Post in Toronto, she contributes articles to Maclean's and the Walrus and has published literary nonfiction in The Common, the Literary Review of Canada, Brick, and elsewhere.
