Most people think they fail because they lack discipline. That is false. They fail because their environment is perfectly designed to pull them off course. In this episode, Jim breaks down why willpower always loses, how default settings quietly dictate outcomes, and why 2026 must be engineered, not hoped for. If you want success to feel automatic instead of exhausting, this episode gives you the blueprint. What You'll Learn: Why your environment will either be a headwind or tailwind The three environments that quietly shape you How visibility and proximity drive behavior Why simplicity creates momentum The friction formula that makes right decisions automatic Action Steps: Audit Your Environments Identify one physical, digital, or social environment that is working against the 2026 version of you. Remove One Frictionless Path Delete, hide, or add effort to one behavior that is sabotaging your momentum, notifications, junk food, or mindless scrolling. Install One Automatic Support Preload success. Lay out workout clothes, preload meals, automate investments, or place your journal and water within arm's length.
True believers endure the Christian life by fixing their eyes on Jesus. 1. Lay aside what hinders endurance. 2. Run the race God has set before you. 3. Fix your eyes on Jesus.
Alex finally boards a Qatar Airways flight, and finds how to get a premium economy seat in this airline that doesn't have premium economy (not through that ethernet port though). Paul completely changes his mind about United, a true Christmas miracle (and a possible playbook for BA), what an incredible crew. Farewell to SeatGuru, nothing truly replaces you (AeroLOPA is the nearest). When your boarding pass gets denied at Hanoi airport, and you unwillingly discover the bowels of Hanoi airport (a gripping tale by Alex!). And more.Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all.

(This podcast was previously published on February 2, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... No one knows the exact day or hour that Jesus will return. But Peter tells us we must be ready continually for Jesus' return. 2 Peter 3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Throughout each day of our lives on this present earth we must live in peace, without spot and blameless. How we can do that? (Discussed on this Podcast.) ***** The first thing we should do is meditate on 2 Peter 3:14 until it becomes real in our daily lives that it causes us to conform our actions on this earth to living this scripture and allowing it to rule over that which we do throughout each day. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless. *** We must come to understand that this world and the things of this world are "temporary". And we must learn that our kingdom is not of this world. Everything that we can see with our natural eye will be destroyed by God at the end of this world. The only way we can live continually, daily in peace is by doing the following scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (The Word). This means when trouble comes, call on God for help. When there is any concern at all, turn to God in prayer and let your request be made unto God. If we have any dread about tomorrow, stop and pray to God. *** Jesus says: Luke 21 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Watch: Be careful about how you are living each day. If you become angry with someone, turn to God immediately. Ask God to help you. Let God settle you quickly. Let not the sun go down on your wrath. Do not follow thoughts of devils. For he comes to steal, to kill, to destroy. Be sure the ideas you follow are from God. James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. *** Recently I stumbled into someone's sins. It wasn't until I finished talking by phone with this person that I realized what I had done. I also opened the door myself for trouble by sending him a "friendly" email. He called me and began discussing his adult aged children with me. After I finished the phone call, I felt a little strange. All through the phone call I kept holding back from wishing the son and daughter well. It was like the Spirit of God was stopping me. Then after the phone call I realized this man's son has been committing fornication for at least 3 years with a girlfriend. These people identify themselves as Catholic. I did not warn them about fornication. The Holy Spirit did not bring the subject of fornication into my mind so I think the door on that subject must be closed by God. (About 20 years ago, I spoke to this man concerning the sin of fornication which he was committing with his girlfriend when his two children were approximately 9 and 13 years old. His life is a tragedy. His wife was a lesbian and it is my understanding that she left with her "lover" and he raised his two children.) I did repent and ask God to forgive me two days later when I realized what had happened. I was very sorry for opening the door by sending that friendly email. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. *** We can lose reward in heaven by being friendly or by wishing evil doers well. II John 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. *** One good thing that did come forth as I spoke to this man: He inquired about Pam Padgett and he said how glad he was I was living with Pam. I replied: "It's wonderful because Pam is a very godly person and she doesn't trouble me. When there is a problem Pam prays, and when she hears from God, she does what God says and that problem is taken care of through what God tells her to do. Then after God has shown her what to do, she might tell me so I can also delight in what God has said to her." It is possible that this information pricked this man's heart for he had just been telling me his problems, We must be diligent to "watch ourselves", what we are doing. The people are often doing things that are unthinkable to godly people, even when they are attending a church. *** A few months ago, God gave me a dream. Some very dirty cats kept getting in my house. I would get them out of my house only to find they were back in my house. God showed me I was opening the door to them by being friendly. We "invite" people into our lives by our friendly emails or phone calls. Then we wish evil doers well in their fornication with their "girl friends" and in their denial of God as they cast aside scripture. (Often they attend some church while doing these sins.) Then we wish them well as we make "friendly" inquiries about their godless children who are doing godless things. And as we make inquiries, we open doors for the stories of their filthy way of life and the filthy way of life of their children. Then we are troubled. Often we have brought their trouble on ourselves. We must stop doing this if we desire to serve God and hope for a full reward from God. We can repent and be forgiven and be careful in future concerning opening doors for evil doers in churches to tell us their sins and to tell us of the sins of their own children, making us a part of the sin. I Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. Thus Jesus says "Watch yourselves, what you do." (Luke 21:36) And if we do choose to hear of their evil, usually the Holy Spirit will have us correct them, speaking to them the way of life. In this case, the Holy Spirit did not have me bring correction to this man but after the phone call, the Holy Spirit showed me that I had opened the door for evil to come into my own life and I repented and asked for God to forgive me. Hopefully I will be more alert as to what I am doing as I go forward. (I usually am alert and avoid the evil that can come from people through my questions about their lives. But this time I slipped.) Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. *** James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Let God be our Lord by turning to HIM rather than to other people. *** James 3 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. *** Matthew 11 Jesus says: 29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Pray: Be connected throughout the day with God through prayer. Prayer is the only way we connect with God, for as we take each concern to God in prayer and hear from God and do what God says, making ourselves worthy to escape that which is coming upon this present world. Jesus says the following to the church: Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. We "overcome" as we seek the will of God in the midst of the problem and hear from God and follow what God says to do. By this, we connect ourselves to God.
In Job 34 Elihu asserts that God is, and can only be, just. Elihu uses magnificent poetry, as did Job and his 3 friends, telling us of the folly of assuming that older civilisations were by comparison to the modern age primitive. Elihu asserts that Job's claims are not in accord with the humility, which Job should show when dealing with the Almighty. It is so wrong to challenge God. The LORD in an instant could wipe out all flesh by withdrawing their breath. You wouldn't even dare to talk that way to earthly dignitaries, who come and go in a moment of time; why then protest against God? Yahweh should not be subjected to human interrogation, nor will He answer any who should dare to try. Lay your hand upon your mouth and suffer in silence; and by this show yourself to be wise.Zechariah 10 deals with Yahweh's restoration of Judah and Israel. The rains had been withheld as the contemporary prophecy of Haggai indicated. Now upon their faithful asking the blessing would be returned. The vanity of both the nation and its leaders had formerly brought judgment upon Yahweh's lost sheep. For the condition the nation found itself in was the responsibility of their shepherds - who had proven themselves to be irresponsible shepherds, who should have known better (for this God would hold them to account). The people of the LORD would be his mighty battle horse. Verse 4 tells us that every good purpose of His people was from their Sovereign. The nation's might before their foes would be irresistible. Yahweh's love and compassion always encompasses His flock. The scattered remnants will be regathered and will bring the Gentiles into submission. From every place which has persecuted and scattered Israel will the Jews be brought to the Land of their fathers. Their Mighty One will empower His chosen family.
Caomh McGillion briefly stops by to help Cam sum up Bruce Willis' 30 VOD & Limited Release Movies prior to his retirement. Which initial ones were rather reasonable B-movies/unofficial DIE HARD sequels? Which ones easily rivaled the most infamous Steven Seagal/Mel Gibson/John Travolta/Sylvester Stallone/Eric Roberts/Mickey Rourke movies of late? How did the producer of NARC/LONE SURVIVOR/THE IRISHMAN orchestrate such a ponzi scheme with these bottom-of-the-barrel Action flicks? Were any of the other ensemble comedies & mystery flicks surprisingly well-done despite only having Bruce in a brief part? All that and a proper farewell to one of cinema's once popular stars!

Brad DeHays — Founder and CEO of Connect Real Estate and Connect Housing Blocks.Brad's journey spans from buying small distressed properties while still in college to leading one of the most ambitious housing manufacturing platforms in the country. Through Connect Real Estate, Brad has revitalized some of Ohio's most overlooked landmarks — transforming abandoned power plants, trolley barns, and historic buildings into vibrant new community anchors.That same entrepreneurial vision inspired him to launch Connect Housing Blocks (CHB), a 630,000-square-foot modular housing facility anchored in Ohio, now one of the largest modular housing factories in the world. Using state-of-the-art equipment and prefabrication methods, CHB produces high-quality apartments from start to finish, eliminating nearly all measuring, cutting, and heavy lifting—the result: faster, more consistent, and more affordable housing production at scale.In our conversation, which took place on site at CHB, Brad shares how he's navigated multiple chapters of starting and scaling Connect, the founding insight that drove him to take on industrial-scale modular housing, how he engages communities and leverages public–private partnerships, his unique approach to talent and culture, and his vision for solving the housing crisis by massively scaling up production capability.00:00:00 - The Birth of an Innovative Solution00:04:50 - Understanding the Housing Crisis00:09:56 - Reinventing Construction Processes00:15:59 - Scaling Modular Housing Production00:21:55 - Transforming the Construction Timeline00:32:46 - Vision for the Future of Housing00:36:43 - Scaling Modular Construction: A Game Changer00:42:34 - The Future of Modular Housing: Opportunities and Challenges00:47:17 - Design and Aesthetics in Modular Construction00:52:56 - Labor Challenges in the Construction Industry00:56:16 - Cultural Dynamics and Employee Empowerment01:01:05 - Looking Ahead: Growth and Future Prospects-----LINKS:https://connecthousingblocks.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/braddehays/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

EXO's Lay apologizes for missing fan meeting, cites important official schedule in China
CoROM cast. Wilderness, Austere, Remote and Resource-limited Medicine.
This week, Aebhric is joined by Bill Vasios and Rhod Jordan, who recorded during the November 2025 CoROM Conversations. They discuss Practical Prolonged Casualty Care, a PDF from the US Military University, designed to equip lay responders with foundational skills for managing casualties over extended periods.

Chaya Slain is the Founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer at Virtera Partners.After studying mathematics at Columbia University, she discovered her deeper interest in investing at Goldman Sachs. After several years in New York, she returned to Cleveland and joined Parkwood, the Mandel family investment office, where she spent more than a decade immersed in institutional investing. At Parkwood, she developed a disciplined, process-driven investment philosophy; built relationships with leading private equity, hedge fund, and real estate managers; and learned directly from Mort Mandel's cultural and strategic principles.In 2020, Chaya founded Virtera Partners, a boutique investment firm designed to offer ultra-high-net-worth families the sophistication of a top-tier institutional allocator with the personal attention of a single-family office. Virtera has grown into a platform providing clients access to differentiated public and private market opportunities — supported by deep sourcing, rigorous diligence, and a willingness to do things differently when the data points that way.In our conversation, we trace Chaya's journey from Wall Street to Cleveland; her early entrepreneurial spark running a deli during her time at Columbia University; the leap from investor to founder; and the empathy and insight that transition has given her when evaluating other entrepreneurs and investment managers. We explore behavioral discipline, portfolio construction in uncertain markets, long-term thinking, and what it means to build with integrity, excellence, and a true sense of stewardship.As someone who loves this intersection of investing and entrepreneurship, it was fun to hear Chaya's reflections on it and learn from her experience.

Chinese medicine may help explain why stored trauma causes old patterns to resurface when we least expect it. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lorne Brown, a leader in integrative reproductive health and Chinese medicine who brings 25 years of clinical experience to the conversation. We explore the concept of qi stagnation and how it aligns with chronic functional freeze. Dr. Brown explains why the body stores overwhelming experiences in layers as a survival mechanism, and why that strategy begins to unravel around midlife when our resources shift. If you're in perimenopause or menopause and noticing old symptoms or emotions stirring again, this conversation offers a new lens for understanding what the body is trying to communicate. In this episode you'll learn: [00:02:00] The Body's Layered Storage System: How Chinese medicine understands stored trauma as a three-layer defense mechanism designed to protect our vital organs [00:05:30] Why Around Age 40, Everything Changes: The body stops using resources to suppress stored energy and begins asking us to finally process it [00:08:00] Perimenopause as a Tipping Point: Why hormone fluctuations shrink our window of tolerance and reveal what we've been holding [00:11:32] The Second Spring: Chinese medicine's perspective on menopause as a spiritual awakening where resources redirect to the heart center [00:13:24] Qi Stagnation & Functional Freeze: The connection between stuck energy and chronic patterns of protection in the nervous system [00:17:00] The Radio Metaphor: How emotions are meant to move through us like a song, and what happens when we hit repeat [00:21:14] When Healed Trauma Returns: Why perimenopause can bring back symptoms and emotions we thought we'd resolved [00:28:40] Safety as the Foundation: Why Chinese medicine agrees that creating safety is the essential first step for allowing stagnation to move [00:34:44] Sound, Laser & Frequency Medicine: Tools that bypass the mind and work directly with the cells and nervous system [00:43:07] Notice, Accept, Choose Again: Dr. Brown's NAC process for metabolizing uncomfortable feelings and restoring flow Main Takeaways Emotions are the number one cause of disease in Chinese medicine. The classic Stored trauma is intelligent, not broken. The body stores overwhelming experiences to protect us. This isn't a fault—it's a brilliant survival mechanism that keeps strong emotions from reaching vital organs where serious disease develops. Around age 40, the body changes its strategy. Resources that once kept difficult experiences suppressed get redirected toward longevity. The body essentially says: "You're not four anymore. It's time to deal with this." Perimenopause reveals capacity gaps. Hormone fluctuations create internal stress. If our window of tolerance is already narrow, perimenopause shrinks it further—and stored patterns surface as symptoms. Qi stagnation is functional freeze. When we resist, suppress, or fight what we feel, energy gets stuck in tissues. When we allow feelings to move through us, we restore flow and health. Safety creates the conditions for release. Without felt safety, the body contracts and stagnation deepens. Creating safety—through breath, movement, acupuncture, sound—allows the system to finally let go. The healing journey is ongoing. If something still triggers a somatic response, there's more work to do. This isn't failure—it's an opportunity to clean up the system and restore flow. Notable Quotes "It's not always the situation that causes the experience inside. It's how you perceive it." "When we're children, we don't have the capacity to process and metabolize these strong emotions. But as we get older, the body eventually says, you need to deal with this." "It's in the name—emotion. Energy in motion. So emotions are you feeling the flow of qi in your body." "You have to feel it to heal it. And if you resist it, it persists." "I don't care if you've worked it a million times. If it still has a somatic response, that's your message from your body that you get to work it one million and one times." Episode Takeaway This conversation gave me language for something I've felt in my own body for years. Dr. Brown's explanation of why the body stores overwhelming experiences in layers—and why it eventually stops spending resources to keep them hidden—makes so much sense when I think about what happens around midlife. For so long, I resisted my own freeze response. I hated it. I didn't want to accept it or feel it. And yet it was always there, waiting for me. What I've come to understand, and what Dr. Brown articulates so beautifully through the lens of Chinese medicine, is that resistance creates stagnation. Fighting what we feel amplifies it. The invitation here isn't to dig up the past or analyze every event. It's simpler than that: when something surfaces, can we notice it without taking it personally? Can we let it move through rather than hitting repeat? Our body has been protecting us brilliantly. Now it's asking us to finally tend to what it's been holding. That's not a setback—that's partnership. Resources/Guides: Biology of Trauma book — Available now everywhere books are sold.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Dec 9, 2025 Settle your heart before God and recognize the privilege of being invited into His presence. Still yourself, pour out your day before Him, and allow His peace to quiet every distraction. Keep your heart tender, yielded, and moldable—like clay in the hands of a potter—willing for Him to add, remove, break, or rebuild whatever He desires so that you may be aligned to His will. Ask for a unified heart, a heart that fears God, a heart that remains planted, pliable, and responsive to His light. As you prepare for seasons of prayer, fasting, or spiritual assignments, do not stand in the way of God's work in you; instead, welcome every stretching, remolding, and purifying He brings. Pray for divine hunger—an unquenchable longing that draws you and others into deeper pursuit of God. Ask that God Himself plants holy questions, dissatisfaction with lesser things, and supernatural curiosity in those He is calling, so that nothing else can satisfy except His presence. Desire the kind of hunger that breaks through obstacles, persists past resistance, and leads straight to encounters with God. Believe that God can stir longing, guide footsteps, and orchestrate meetings, signs, and pointers that lead people into His purpose. Call upon the Holy Spirit to brood over every environment, gathering, heart, and moment. Ask that every detail—words spoken, songs sung, lights flashing, equipment functioning—become instruments in God's hands, carrying revelation, instruction, and transformation. Pray that God's power overshadow everything as He did in biblical times, making it clear that what is happening is “of God and not of man.” Pray for revival, for generational rescue, for youths and children to be awakened, delivered, healed, and shaped into mighty instruments of righteousness. Intercede for every person involved in teaching, leading, or serving, that they be full of the Spirit, full of wisdom, full of discernment, and able to speak exactly what God wants said—nothing less, nothing more, and always in the right measure for those listening. Pray that every message will carry life, revelation, and divine precision, and that every teacher will discern the spiritual maturity of their hearers so truth is delivered in its proper measure. Recognize that you are called to walk in the resurrection life of Christ even now. Understand that death, sin, sickness, and bondage no longer have dominion over you. Affirm daily that you are dead to sin and alive to God. Present your body as an instrument of righteousness and refuse to share your temple with anything that belongs to darkness. Let the word of God become flesh in you—shaping your thoughts, habits, desires, and responses—until your life testifies of the power of the age to come. Pray that the blood of Jesus covers every space, every arrangement, every person, and every circumstance connected to God's purpose. Send the blood ahead to cleanse, protect, disarm darkness, and secure divine order. Believe that angelic activity increases in places where God intends to move, and that His presence disrupts everything contrary to His will. Declare that oppressed people will not return the same way they came. Speak freedom, healing, restoration, clarity, and destiny alignment over all who encounter God in these moments. Proclaim that hearts will be mended, bodies healed, covenants with darkness broken, addictions destroyed, and lives redirected toward God. Finally, commit to being built up yourself. Do not limit your spiritual growth or accept stagnation. Lay hold of every truth available to you, train yourself in the word, and labor in faith toward every divine promise. Affirm boldly that you are the dwelling place of God, covered by the blood, filled with His Spirit, and unavailable to darkness in any form. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Dec 8, 2025 Set your face toward God with deliberate intention, refusing to approach Him casually or distracted, for true worship now takes place in the realm of the spirit, where only those clothed in holiness, sincerity, and truth may stand. Lay aside every garment that dims your devotion—self-reliance, pride, worldliness, apathy—and come before Him conscious of the blood that grants you access to His presence. Understand that chastening is not rejection but refinement; though the pressure may feel severe, God has not surrendered you to destruction. Trials, both personal and national, are divine tools shaping endurance, stripping away illusions, cutting off excess, and revealing who you truly are so patience may complete its work until your faith is mature, resilient, and lacking nothing. Give thanks even when emotions resist it, for gratitude aligns you with God's perspective—that darkness and light, life and death, are alike before Him, and nothing escapes His purpose. Hold fast to the prophetic words God has released, for these words act as a compass in seasons where vision grows dim and guidance is rare; they strengthen your heart, awaken faith, and call you into active partnership with God through prayer, fasting, and focused intercession. Rise into your priestly assignment knowing your petitions are not empty gestures but spiritual weapons mighty enough to overturn invisible plots, dismantle strongholds, call down heavenly intervention, and shift the destiny of territories. Fight for the soul of your family, your community, and your nation with the courage of one who remembers that the battle belongs to the Lord; stand on the wall, watch, build, and war simultaneously, refusing to let fear, fatigue, or intimidation break your resolve. Persist in prayer until regions long resistant to the gospel bow to the authority of Christ, for persistence is the condition for breakthrough. Ask God to multiply laborers—intercessors, teachers, shepherds, administrators, evangelists, disciplers—who will carry His burden with purity, humility, and endurance, ensuring the harvest is not abandoned for lack of workers. Pray that God plants trees of righteousness in these lands—men and women deeply rooted, spiritually mature, unshakable, and able to offer shade, healing, and stability to entire generations. Guard the unity of the body with ruthless commitment, for strife, whispering, bitterness, and competition are subtle enemies designed to fracture what God is building; choose forgiveness, compassion, and practical love so the work advances freely without internal sabotage. Speak blessings over the church, believing that divine protection will cover those who labor, that supernatural provision will meet every need, that angels will strengthen the weak, that the lost will be restored, and that the desolate will be beautified. And finally, maintain a posture of gratitude for the countless ways God has already supplied—through finances, people, angels, opportunities, and open doors—knowing that the work unfolding today is an inheritance for your children and a foundation for a future in which your nation becomes a living testimony of God's power and praise in the earth.

Tom Logue - December 7th 2025 The blessing of God flows to the needy, the humble, and the childlike who come to Jesus. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:13–15, where parents bring their children to Jesus for Him to lay His hands on them and pray. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Tom teaches on the biblical pattern of laying on of hands—how throughout the Bible God transfers wisdom, healing, empowerment, spiritual gifts, and the Holy Spirit through ordinary people who make themselves available. He challenges us not to decline the blessing God wants to give because we avoid the means through which He gives it. Tom also unpacks the difference between childishness and childlikeness: childishness is impulsive, self-focused, prideful, and tantrum-prone—while childlikeness is marked by humility, dependence, awe, wonder, trust, and quick forgiveness. Jesus says the kingdom belongs to people like this. We were made for the kingdom the way fish were made for water; when we exit it through pride or self-reliance, we spiritually suffocate under anxiety, fear, bitterness, or despair. But Jesus wants the needy to come to Him—He delights to bless, touch, heal, and restore His children. Tom calls every listener—parent, youth, child, and spiritually suffocating adult—to come back into God's presence, receive blessing, and breathe again.

1 My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Tell wisdom, "You are my sister." Call understanding your relative, 5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice. 7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness. 10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent. 11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house. 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner. 13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him: 14 "Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows. 15 Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving. 19 For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon." 21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him. 22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose. 23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn't know that it will cost his life. 24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25 Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths, 26 for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol,* going down to the rooms of death. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Many high-achieving people look successful on the outside while part of them remains frozen in childhood survival patterns. Through the Biology of Trauma® lens, I share how trauma disrupts the natural flow and movement of life—and the healing roadmap that takes us from stuck to truly alive. If we've ever wondered why we can reach every external goal and still feel disconnected from our own life, this episode explains why. I share Elena's story, a 45-year-old Chief Operating Officer whose autoimmune diagnosis revealed what her body had been holding for decades. When her thirteen-year-old daughter had thoughts of suicide—and felt she couldn't talk to her mom—Elena finally understood: a part of her had been frozen since before she could walk. We'll explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as professional success masking emotional unavailability. We'll see how trauma stops our natural movement through life—and discover the six-step roadmap from survival to authenticity, belonging, and flow. In this episode you'll learn: [00:00] Why successful people can still be frozen in survival patterns from childhood [02:15] How Elena's birth trauma created a freeze response before she could walk [06:40] The moment her daughter's crisis revealed decades of emotional unavailability [09:10] Trauma defined: the biggest disruptor of movement in our life [12:45] Why everything inside us is movement—and what happens when trauma stops it [16:05] The healing destination: authenticity, belonging, and flow as what it means to be alive [19:50] Why state shifts matter more than neuroplasticity on your healing journey [24:05] How neuroplasticity wires in whatever state you're in—including overwhelm [26:30] The six-step roadmap: from "I am alive" to connection with others [28:15] How Elena broke the generational cycle with her daughters Main Takeaways: Trauma Is the Biggest Disruptor of Movement: Trauma isn't just an event—it's the shock that stops us. It disrupts movement at every level: physical, emotional, relational, and through our life stages. Successful and Frozen Can Coexist: High achievement doesn't mean our nervous system is regulated. Elena built an impressive career while part of her remained that terrified little girl, hiding and staying still to survive. State Shifts Come Before Neuroplasticity: Whatever state we're in is what neuroplasticity wires in. If we're frequently in stress and overwhelm, our brain builds pathways that make that pattern automatic. We must shift our state first. The Destination Is Authenticity, Belonging, and Flow: These three elements define what it means to be truly alive—free to be ourselves, grounded in connection, and moving with ease through life. You Can't Skip the Sequence: The roadmap follows a specific order: recognizing we're alive, choosing to live, shifting our state, being here, wanting to be here, deserving to be here, and finally connecting with others. Each step prepares us for the next. Healing Breaks Generational Patterns: When Elena addressed her frozen patterns, her daughters noticed changes they never expected. The "resting bitch face" disappeared. Presence replaced absence. Notable Quotes: "Trauma becomes the biggest disruptor of movement in our life." "I can still see myself as a little girl, hiding with my dolls, quiet, still and absolutely terrified." "Whatever state we are in is what neuroplasticity wires in." "Being in calm alive can actually become a habit. Imagine that." "Your body's decision to freeze wasn't a failure—it was survival. But you don't have to stay frozen." "My 12-year-old girl didn't realize that I had grown up and that I am alive—which means that she did it. She made it. We're alive." Episode Takeaway: Frozen doesn't mean broken. Elena's story reveals what happens when trauma stops our natural movement through life—not just physical movement, but emotional presence, relational connection, and our ability to truly arrive in the life we've built. Her freeze response began at birth, reinforced through childhood, and showed up decades later as professional success masking emotional unavailability. Her daughters felt it. Her body felt it. Her autoimmune diagnosis confirmed it. The healing roadmap offers a way forward. First, we help that frozen part recognize we're alive—that survival happened. Then we consciously choose to live, rather than simply existing because we had no choice. We learn to shift our state into calm and aliveness, practicing until it becomes our new default. And finally, we move through the deeper work: being here, wanting to be here, deserving to be here, and opening to genuine connection with others. Neuroplasticity works for or against us depending on our state. If overwhelm has become our habit, our brain has built pathways that take us there automatically. But when we build the habit of calm aliveness first, neuroplasticity starts working in our favor. The destination isn't perfection—it's authenticity, belonging, and flow. Movement is possible. Coming home to ourselves is possible. Resources/Guides: The Biology of Trauma book - Available now everywhere books are sold.

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Matthew 1:1-17Episode Overview:In this sermon from Matthew 1:1–17, we explore the genealogy of Jesus—often overlooked, yet profoundly rich with gospel truth. Matthew begins his Gospel not with myth or moral lessons, but with history. A list of names becomes a declaration of good news: Jesus Christ has come as the promised Savior-King. This genealogy reveals that God's redemptive plan rests not on human achievement but on God's faithfulness, grace, and sovereign purpose. Through broken stories, unexpected people, and generations of waiting, Matthew shows that Jesus arrives as the One who brings rescue, restoration, and the end of exile for a weary world.Key Highlights:• Good News, Not Good Advice: Matthew grounds the story of Jesus in history, not legend. The gospel is not a list of tasks—it is an announcement of what God has already done through Christ.• Good News for Not-So-Good People: Jesus' family tree is full of the marginalized, the flawed, and the notorious. The genealogy tells the truth about humanity—and the greater truth about God's grace.• Good News for a Not-Yet-Great World: The long arc of Israel's story points toward Jesus as the One who ends our exile and leads us home. God keeps His promises even through centuries of waiting.• The Faithful King: From Abraham to David to the exile and finally to Christ, the genealogy reveals Jesus as the fulfillment of every covenant promise and the hope for all nations.Call to Action:Let this passage invite you to rest in what God has already accomplished through Jesus. Lay down the pressure to prove yourself or perfect yourself. Trust the Savior-King who welcomes imperfect, wounded, overlooked people into His family and is even now at work in a broken world. Consider one area of your life where you've been trying to earn, fix, or carry everything yourself—and intentionally entrust it to Christ this week.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Why does groundbreaking research on mind-body medicine disappear without a trace? How do emotional factors create conditions for chronic illness and autoimmune disease decades later? What happens when a Harvard study shows severe PTSD doubles ovarian cancer risk—and the medical system simply ignores it? Dr. Gabor Maté joins me to discuss the writing process behind The Myth of Normal, his 19-week New York Times bestseller bringing together decades of research on trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and how emotional factors drive physical disease. We explore why mind-body unity—understood since Socrates 2,600 years ago—remains controversial in mainstream medicine despite overwhelming scientific evidence. Gabor addresses the most damaging misconception about his work: that he blames parents and patients. Whether we're trauma-informed practitioners, healing from chronic illness, or parents navigating guilt and shame, we'll understand why this conversation about mind-body medicine is finally reaching people—even when the medical system isn't ready. In this episode you'll learn: [01:59] The Myth of Normal Journey: How 10 years of research and 20,000 articles became a 500-page synthesis of trauma biology [04:00] Writing for Critics Made Me Sick: Why trying to convince skeptics creates the very trauma biology we're studying [06:00] Harvard's 1939 Buried Truth: Soma Weiss's lecture on emotional factors equaling physical factors—and why it's still ignored [07:42] PTSD Doubles Ovarian Cancer Risk: Harvard study the average gynecologist never read—and what it means for trauma healing [09:40] People Are Ready, Systems Aren't: Why this trauma revolution is happening at the grassroots level first [13:53] New York Times Bestseller Doesn't Equal Happiness: The personal lesson about achievement and inner state [16:00] The Biggest Misconception: Addressing the damaging claim that Gabor blames parents and patients for illness [18:00] ADHD, Genes, and Environment: Why genetic sensitivity plus stressed parents creates attention dysregulation—without blame Main Takeaways: Mind-Body Unity Isn't New Science: Socrates recognized 2,600 years ago that separating mind from body was medicine's fundamental error, and Harvard professor Soma Weiss lectured in 1939 that emotional factors equal physical factors in disease causation and healing. This isn't cutting-edge discovery—it's forgotten wisdom the medical system repeatedly buries. Scientific Evidence Disappears in the Bermuda Triangle: Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies demonstrate trauma's biological impact on chronic illness, autoimmune disease, and cancer risk, yet research doesn't change medicine when ideology creates blind spots. A Harvard study showed severe PTSD doubles ovarian cancer risk, but the average gynecologist never reads it. Empowerment, Not Blame, Changes Lives: Understanding that stress affects multiple sclerosis relapse risk or that the environment acts on ADHD genes doesn't blame patients or parents—it empowers them. Knowledge of how trauma creates conditions for illness provides agency to address root causes rather than remaining passive recipients of symptomatic care. Mitochondrial Dysfunction Extends the Mind-Body Framework: While The Myth of Normal covers mind-body unity comprehensively, Biology of Trauma® goes deeper to subcellular levels—showing how trauma affects mitochondria, cellular energy production, and the biology underneath symptoms. Notable Quotes: "Socrates said 2,600 years ago in ancient Greece that the problem with the doctors today is they separate the mind from the body." "Emotional factors are at least as important in the causation of disease as physiological factors, and must be at least as important in the healing." (From the 1939 Harvard lecture) "You can have the same genes and have ADHD or not have ADHD. What makes the difference is how the environment acts on those genes." "Trauma is so ubiquitous in this culture and it's so poorly understood and addressed in the healing profession." "The change will happen at the level of people, not at the system. The people will demand the system change." Episode Takeaway: What struck me most in this conversation with Gabor is how the desperate need to convince skeptical colleagues stems from our earliest attachment patterns where authority figures' opinions determined our safety. This is why writing to prove ourselves to critics creates the very nervous system dysregulation our trauma work addresses. Mind-body unity isn't revolutionary new science—it's 2,600 years of wisdom that mainstream medicine repeatedly buries. When Harvard published research in 1939 showing emotional factors equal physical factors in disease, and recent studies demonstrate severe PTSD doubles ovarian cancer risk, the medical system's silence isn't about lack of evidence but about ideological blind spots. The revolution happening now shows people are ready for this conversation even when systems aren't. As chronic illness increases, people seek understanding of how stored trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional factors create conditions for autoimmune disease, cancer, and ADHD decades later. This isn't about blaming parents or patients—it's about empowering us with agency to address root causes. External achievement doesn't heal unresolved trauma, but the gratitude when we stop trying to convince critics and instead empower people with truth makes it worthwhile. We're catching a wave we're also generating. The system will change when people demand it.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Last week we started an episode called Gnostic Psychology Slideshow, Part One, and today we’re going to wrap that up. It’s a slideshow that I presented at my class at Southern Oregon University on the Simple Gnostic Gospel, and so I will be describing for you and posting the transcript on the GnosticInsights.com website and also at Substack. In the written transcripts, you’ll be able to see the PowerPoint slides, which really, I think, helps to clear things up, to clear up confusion, by the imagery. If you’re listening to the audio-only version, you might want to go to the websites, one or the other, and look at the slideshow too. Last week in Gnostic Psychology Part One, we talked about Who am I? Who is a human being? Who are you? And in my way of thinking, we are a combination of units of consciousness; memes and the memes we carry in our meme shroud; karma; and our One true Self, which is a replication of the One consciousness of the Father; the aeonic inheritance we have from our parents in the Fullness; and our body, our material body, which comprises our DNA and our human parents, our inheritance, as well as the units of consciousness of the 37 trillion cells in our body. There’s a therapeutic application for this Gnostic Psychology. And if you look at my book, A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, or you go to my 20-year-old website and look up https://asimpleexplanation.blogspot.com you can find this particular explanation in depth. I think that would be a good bumper sticker or t-shirt. Gnosis you can trust. Again, if you’re following along with the slideshow, and this will be called Gnostic Psychology Part 2, the values on the left are egoic and they are demiurgic and they are from the deficiency, the imitation. The values on the right are from the true Self, from the Fullness of God, and they are traits of the Father. So, I don’t want to read through this whole list. It’s a very long list, but for example, a vice would be to be hateful, spiteful. The virtue that’s the flip side is to be loving, charitable. So, if you find yourself hating someone, it’s not virtuous, it’s not righteous, it’s demiurgic. We are called to love others, and indeed that is our Second Order task. We were sent here to remind the fallen demiurge that there is a Father above, that there is life and love, and that it comes from above. The Demiurge is a fractal of Aeonic ego, being the ego of fallen Logos. We are also fractals, so we want to dwell on the Aeonic Fullness side rather than the fallen demiurgic side. Another example would be hard-hearted, ruthless on the left, and the virtuous side is to be merciful. One of the vices is to be slothful, lazy. The virtue side is to be useful, to be part of the solution. The left is illogical, incoherent. It makes no sense because it’s built on lies. The right is logical. The Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything theory of everything that I developed starts with a single premise that consciousness is the ground state of reality, and then everything derives from that first premise. The Gnostic gospel that I teach, or that I share with you, because I don’t have to teach you Gnosis, we’re all born with the Gnosis, so it’s inherent in us. We just need to be reminded because we’ve been caught in a never-ending war. So, for example, if a person has an eating disorder, and let’s say you eat uncontrollably, you eat far too much, and you eat the wrong things, and you know you should cut back, and you know you should eat better because it’s just not good, because you feel sluggish, and your health is suffering. That is because you’ve allowed your organ system of the digestive tract to rule. It’s an even further down fractal iteration than ego. Your ego wants to lose weight because you want to look good. You want to fit into that new outfit or whatever. You want to be attractive to the opposite sex, but you can’t control your eating. That’s because you have ceded your control to your digestive system. Willpower is difficult because that food is very attractive, and your digestive system is very powerful because you’ve given it so much authority, and it’s become accustomed to ruling you. You have to go a step to the right. You have to get on to the virtue side, and instead of being gluttonous, which is a vice, you want to be temperate. So, how do you get on the virtuous side? By turning your eyes upward to the Fullness of God, by asking for the Father’s assistance, or asking for the Son’s assistance to overcome this demiurgic slavery that you’ve found yourself in. This works for all vices, for all addictions. Now, if that’s too difficult, this is where the Christ comes in, because the Christ is the Third Order of Powers. So, it’s yet another pyramidal shape, like the Fullness, except it’s the most powerful force in the cosmos. And, if you jump from giving your control to your gluttonous digestive system, or to your Self-centered me-me-me ego, you can turn it directly over to the Third Order of Powers, and ask them to come over and take control. And, that is like a stencil. It’s going to overlay a Third Order Power on top of every one of your units of consciousness, and it’s got all the power to do anything. You borrow the willpower of the Fullness, the willpower of the Christ. And, that’s who Jesus was. He was our exemplar. He was the first human who ceded all authority to the Third Order Powers, to the Father. He was God incarnate that way. He did not have any vice, and he showed us, yeah, it can be done. Yeah, you might get crucified for it, and everybody’s going to hate you. You’re going to have very few friends. You’re going to look like a total goody two shoes. But, if it’s really the Third Order Powers working through you, it’s not a burden. It’s lifting the burden, because you always know what to do, because the Third Order of power is sitting on the throne of yourself. That’s just an example of something you could say, and that will bump the negative meme. Oh, there’s not enough. I’m going to lose you. I’m going to lose this. I’m afraid. I’m afraid. It just bumps it right out of the way, because you’ve displaced that demiurgic meme with a godly meme. They don’t work together, so one of them has got to go, and if you have set your willpower upon the Third Order of Powers, upon the Fullness of God, upon virtue, you don’t have to strain and sweat to get it done. You feel joy. You feel in alignment with the One. You are truly centered. This is what it means to be enlightened. Therapy may help you to identify which memes need dropping, and may assist in the process. You may not realize the reason you’re so insecure is because you think there’s not enough to go around, so a good therapist can help you identify that, and then you can drop that. There’s not enough to go around. I’m going to be left out. Nobody loves me. I’ll never amount to anything. You can drop those negative memes that you uncover during therapy, and then replace them with positive memes. And nowadays, since everything’s going so poorly out here in the world, if you spend a lot of time with the media, and with social media, you are absorbing all of that negativity, and all of that hatred, because social media is inherently demiurgic. It’s not alive. It comes from the bottom. You need to turn your eyes upward, turn off the phone, look upward, and plug into the Father, however you can do that. Some memes are easy to detach, because they don’t really fit in with your bundle of meme strings and cords, so if you stop reading those posts, if you get off of Facebook, well, maybe they will evaporate, because it turned out you were actually a very loving person, and you still love your old friends, even if you disagree with them now. But if you continually feed that negative meme, then you will continually feel horrid, because the demiurgic side of the ledger is designed to make you feel bad, to make you feel enslaved, to create division, despair, fear. That all comes from not living a godly life. But we don’t force ourselves to live a godly life. We run to it with joy. It’s coming home. It’s remembering. It’s remembering the joy. And suddenly all burdens are light enough to bear. Bad things can happen to you, but then you can trust in God that all things work together for good for those who love God. So I may have broken my leg and wound up in the hospital for a couple of days, but it turns out I needed to be in that hospital bed, because my roommate in the hospital was a lovely person that needed to hear what I had to say, and vice versa. And we made a new friend. This is how a bad thing can turn into a good thing, by having a godly attitude and trusting that God knows best. God does know better than you. You don’t have enough data to run your life and avoid all of the pitfalls. So you’re starting to get the idea this whole Gnostic psychology has to do with dropping unwanted memes and turning to the virtuous side. That’s what it boils down to. There’s only peace and joy and happiness on the side of virtue when you’re sincere. We’re not talking about hypocrisy. We’re not talking about forcing the issue. We’re not talking about whipping yourself with a flagellant whip to make yourself holy. That is not God’s will. God is entirely love, entirely acceptance, entirely forgiving, entirely compassionate, entirely charitable. And if you think you’re living a righteous life, yet you’re feeling anger, hatred, division, well then you’re not living a righteous life. Those are clues that you’re in the wrong set of memes, you see? So you want to get rid of those and turn your eyes upward. And you can either turn your eyes directly to Jesus as Christian true believers do, and I mean true believers, not hypocrites or pew warmers, or you can go this Gnostic route and turn your mind up to the Fullness of God, the Son, the Father, and the disincarnate Christ who pre-existed Jesus. You can take your choice, but it all is going to level you up to the Father. If you’re on the path, the glory beam, then you wind up with the Father. On a practical level, therapies such as the Emotional Freedom Technique can help with that. You can go to an EFT trainer, or you can look up EFT on YouTube and learn how to do the EFT technique. Then you just do this tapping. It takes about a minute, and it literally taps those unwanted memes right off of your meme shroud. I use it now and then, and it works. If you’ve got a thought you can’t dislodge, you do the EFT while thinking of the thought. You do the EFT a couple, maybe three times, and boom, it’s gone. Serenity is achieved as the memes are discarded. Of course, the whole point of traditional meditation is to clear your mind. What are you doing when you do that? You are quieting the memes. You’re turning them off so they can’t affect you and get in the way of you coming into contact with your true Self or with the Father. It’s important to realize that at any moment in time, you can choose to lay down an unwanted meme. You have that power. It is in your control. If you notice yourself carrying a meme around again that you thought you’d gotten rid of, but here you are again, well then stop. Lay it down again. You can lay it down as many times as it takes, but if you continue to do that meme, if you continue to activate that meme, think about it, or carry out this unwanted behavior, you’re not going to be able to get rid of it because activation causes it to stick to your meme bundle. That’s why you have to continue to lay it down, and you have to stop thinking about it. It doesn’t help to think about it. Regret, regret that never goes away, is also demiurgic because it makes you feel guilty. It wants you to feel like you have no willpower, like you can’t help yourself, and that’s a lie. It’s all lies. You can help yourself. You can be free in a moment, and from personal experience, I can tell you that that’s what the born again experience is. It’s inviting the Third Order of Powers to come into you and to take over, and the Christian prayer to Jesus, Jesus I’m a sinner, I repent, I ask you to come into my life, is a version of what I’m saying, and you can do that. I’m not against you asking Jesus to be your personal emissary. Jesus is my man. I’ve always been with Jesus, and I still am. Nothing wrong with Jesus. And if you don’t want to believe in the Christ, if you think that’s just hooey, you don’t need the Christ, well you’re going to have a hard reckoning when you pass away because we have to be pure to get to heaven. We have to be a hundred percent pure because heaven’s all good, all good. Sooner or later, everyone repents, but sooner or later everyone does repent, whether it’s in this lifetime or in the in-between place. Or you will keep coming back and getting reincarnated over and over again because you don’t want to let go of those memes that you’re holding on to. In order to stick the landing, as I say, which is a gymnastic term—you know how when a gymnast jumps off of that vault and then they land, that’s called sticking the landing. If they fumble the landing or they fall over, they didn’t stick the landing. So I think of getting to heaven and being able to stick the landing. That only happens if you repent and accept that you come from above and you want to return to above, and you don’t want to keep doing these activities that you love so much down here on the earth, or else you’re just going to keep getting pulled back onto the earth. In the case of PTSD, some sort of therapy is usually required to detach that meme from the person, unless of course you want to go full throttle and have a born-again experience, then it can all be gone in an instant. But if you don’t actively strive to detach that meme, it’s possible to be victimized by PTSD for the entirety of your life, and this causes much suffering, as Buddha would say, much needless suffering. And if you want to hear more about that, if you want to know more, please leave a comment below, and I’ll review that whole idea of Bill’s hypnotic method and give you some case histories. God bless us all, and onward and upward. If you find these Gnostic Insights beneficial and you would like to do your part to usher in a new Gnostic Reformation, please contribute to the cause.

Darrell Castle talks about the economy in general as well as the United States economy specifically, and why American families are struggling financially. Transcription / Notes IT'S THE ECONOMY Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 21st day of November in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the economy in general as well as the United States economy specifically. You probably remember when Democrat policy advisor James Carville told then candidate Bill Clinton, “it's the economy stupid.” He was correct and the advice is still correct today. Remember that next week is Thanksgiving so there will be no Castle Report. I will join you again on Friday December 5. Carville was a very effective political operative in those days and was apparently able to convince Mr. Clinton that the people who would elect him or his opponent cared more about their standard of living than they did about any foreign policy issue. They should have cared more about donating their children to the foreign policy whims of whoever was in office but when push comes to shove everyone has to eat. A family of four, and those relationships used to exist, is acutely aware of what food and gasoline cost. I'm a layperson in economics in the sense that I'm not trained in economics but I do have a family with the same economic needs as everyone else. Most importantly I have been a bankruptcy attorney for 46 years which has kept me in the forefront of the economic needs of ordinary people. Tens of thousands of people and businesses have told me about their struggles in cities all over the country and I have helped them find a way through their economic troubles. With all that said let's look at some of the economic facts that trouble the country right now. When I say, as I do from time to time, that an economic catastrophe is coming with the only question being when it will arrive, why do I believe that. Not much makes sense these days since America is the hottest economy attracting trillions in capital but inflation is still present and it seems that almost weekly another major corporation announces layoffs or store closings. Last week the fast-food chain, Wendy's, announced that it would be closing 400 restaurants. Amazon announced that it would be replacing about 30,000 employees with robots. The economy depends on federal spending and that is now completely out of control. My fear is that so many irreversible commitments have been made that the federal government is not capable of living within its means and if true that would signal eventual disaster. Fiscal year 2025, which ended on September 30 of this year posted a deficit of $1.8 trillion. Deficit means that the government spent $1.8 trillion more than it received in revenue. It's simple if you think about it from the standpoint of your family. Suppose you make $75 thousand per year but you spend $100 thousand and you do that year after year. You know what is going to happen eventually and that means you will be in my office to consult about bankruptcy. You can keep the plates in the air for a while by borrowing, pay day loans and the like, and by using one credit card to pay another until there is no more credit limit left on any cards. You can last for a while by just making interest payments on the cards but then you can't even do that. This problem gets worse and worse until it becomes unfixable and bankruptcy results. That is exactly what the federal government is doing to manage its spending. One of the major warning signs of impending trouble that economists always warn us about is when interest becomes the biggest item in the budget. It doesn't exceed medical expenses or social security yet but this year, ominously, interest was higher than the massive defense budget. Just as you do with your credit cards the government has to borrow just to pay the interest. In other words, the government is paying debt by incurring more debt which drives the debt and next year's payments even higher. This all means that annual interest, which now exceeds 20% of tax revenue will continue to increase. The debt is purchased primarily by foreign governments, central banks, large corporations, commercial banks and individual investors. Recently, in an ominous trend, those foreigners have been net sellers of U.S. debt. That means that the financing of the debt falls to domestic investors meaning you and me. People individually, through retirement accounts or through purchase of some investment fund, finance government debt with their savings. It is necessary that individual Americans do well because they have to save to invest in U.S. debt. Unfortunately, this year net savings is on track to be less than $1trillion, the lowest figure in many years while the deficit is on track to be roughly $2 trillion. This all means there are not enough foreign buyers and not enough domestic savers to finance the debt so the only option is for the banking system, i.e., the Federal Reserve, to create the money to pay for the excessive spending. I say excessive because if you spend more than you make with no plan to pay it, I call that excessive. When you get yourself into that cycle you have to stop, to reverse course before it is too late. It's almost like alcoholism or some other addiction. You can stop for a while, but then it's too late and you can't stop on your own. Inflation is the result when money is created and pumped into the economy without any corresponding increase in production. Energy, it is estimated, is about 50% of the cost of producing everything. When you make energy decisions on a national level that cut back available energy and add to the costs, everything increases in price across the economy. When politicians of one party or another decide to put on their virtue signaling act by refusing to allow domestic production it costs everyone. Everything families use, food, fuel, autos, and clothes for individuals cost more and the products necessary for business from machinery to microchips increase as well. There is no corresponding increase in wages for people so their standard of living is diminished. If a person usually pays $2.75 per gallon for gas and uses 20 gallons per week that is $55 per week so if it goes to $3.00 he just took a $5.00 reduction in his standard of living. People see this happening and they circle the wagons by cutting back on spending. When people reduce spending huge corporations such as Walmart and Amazon cut back as well which means jobs are lost and the process gets worse and worse. Lay-offs are becoming common and technology such as AI along with robotics makes reducing the workforce easier to do. As I said earlier, Amazon has announced plans to replace 30,000 workers with robots. Those machines never have sick days, they take no vacations, they do not get pregnant, and they don't worry about retirement. Bad policies from the federal government and most policies are bad, make our lives more complicated and more expensive. For example, Obamacare was called The Affordable Care Act but it has made the cost of healthcare much higher and the cost of insurance is skyrocketing. There are several indicators that can be followed to track the status of the economy. The first and most obvious is shipping records. The giant container ships that you see pictures of and view on television represent the health of the population economically. Timber is another indicator and prices are lower this year. That's good for consumers because it means things made from timber are also lower but it also bodes ill for the overall health of the economy. Lower demand for timber means lower demand for new houses. Builders aren't building as much and that means the housing market is slow. Not many are looking to build a new home because they can't afford it. Instead, people who have low-interest rate mortgages are sitting tight which means fewer homes on the market and higher prices. The young suffer because they don't have a lower interest rate loan and houses are rising so they can't afford to move out of their apartment to have a family. Most people who start a family want a place with a yard for their kids to play in, I know I did when my daughter was born. High home prices mean that for the first time in U.S. history, the average age of first-time home buyers is above 40. The president sees all this as well as I do and he is very conscious of the fact that his tariffs have added to the cost of everything whether he admits it or not. A tariff is a charge whether we call it a tax or not, it is a fee we charge foreigners for the privilege of having access to the American market. The result when it ripples through the economy is more money burning a hole in the government's pocket and higher prices for individuals. The president sees that and he hears the crying so he comes up with a plan to send $2000 to each American below a certain income. I'm opposed to it for many reasons but the primary one is that it will fuel more inflation and make everything cost more and be self-defeating. Who wouldn't want an extra $2000 he hasn't earned but in the long run it will not help. My local newspaper, which is owned by the USA Today group and therefore is an almost exact copy of the New York Times, except the sports coverage is not as good, said in an article I received last Wednesday that the cost of it “could be $600 million” while the tariffs have brought in only $300 million. So, the cost could be this or that but I assume everything in the article is slanted and a lie so you can't depend on it for information. Instead, the paper should say, look folks, this country is $38 trillion in debt and on track to spend $2 trillion more than it takes in so to have some chance to avoid a catastrophe use the money to at least reduce the deficit. Finally, folks, is there any way to restore the system and avoid what I have called a looming catastrophe? Sure there is, just see the results Javier Milieu has achieved in Argentina in only two years. Cut spending and stop only tying excessive spending to fraud. Just say we can't afford it anymore. Close overseas bases and stop fighting other people's wars. Come home and mind your own business. Wasteful programs, and that is almost all of them, will have to go. So that is the obvious formula but will we attempt it, no I'm certain we will not. At least that's the way I see it, Until December 5th folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Perry Stancato is the founder and CEO of Signature Sauces and a third-generation operator of the beloved Cleveland institution, Stancato's Italian Restaurant.This conversation with Perry explores the entrepreneurial journey of someone who grew up in the family restaurant — from standing on a milk crate as a kid making waffles for Sunday brunch to running Stancato's today while simultaneously building Signature Sauces into a premier national food manufacturing partner.Signature Sauces began in 2005 with a simple idea: to bottle his family's legendary red sauce after customers kept asking for it. What started as a way to serve Stancato's loyal patrons quickly evolved into something much larger. Perry discovered that while retail was cutthroat and unforgiving, his passion and true product-market fit lay in foodservice — helping other restaurants scale their “secret sauces.” Today, Signature Sauces has grown into a company that helps make the products that make others famous, serving clients from local Ohio favorites to national brands like Bob Evans, Momofuku, Benihana, Barrio, and many more.Alongside that manufacturing growth, Perry continues to steward Stancato's — the restaurant that has been a Cleveland staple for decades. He reflects on the delicate balance of honoring a community legacy while making small, thoughtful changes to stay relevant across generations.In our conversation, Perry shares the challenges of taking nearly ten years to get Signature Sauces off the ground, the resilience it took to keep going, the lessons learned from retail versus foodservice, and what he's most proud of: seeing team members who started as dishwashers grow into leaders, and knowing his work helps thousands of diners enjoy meals every day. We also dive into his Ohio pride, from the region's food scene to partnerships like the Ohio State Buckeye Tailgate sauces, and his perspective on what it takes to build a legacy business in Cleveland.00:00:00 - The Legacy of Stancatos: A Family Business Journey00:09:03 - From Family Recipes to Signature Sauces00:12:49 - Navigating the Food Industry: Retail vs. Food Service00:17:15 - Scaling Up: The Art and Science of Sauce Production00:20:39 - The Future of Signature Sauces: Expanding Partnerships00:21:55 - The Entrepreneurial Journey Begins00:23:33 - Vision and Growth of Signature Sauces00:26:10 - Lessons from the Restaurant Industry00:29:10 - Balancing Time and Responsibilities00:31:40 - Building a Legacy in Ohio00:34:30 - Innovation and Technology in Food Production00:37:08 - Trends in the Culinary World00:39:44 - Understanding Risk and Success00:42:22 - Navigating Customer Relationships00:45:20 - Insights for Aspiring Food Entrepreneurs00:45:35 - Reflections on the Journey-----LINKS:https://www.signaturesauces.com/https://www.stancatos.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/perry-stancato-799b16b/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Discover how trauma lives in the body—and how the vagus nerve, nervous system shutdown, and somatic healing explain why stillness can feel unsafe. Through the Biology of Trauma® lens, Dr. Aimie shares the trauma response sequence and the Essential Sequence needed to heal stored trauma without overwhelm. If we've ever felt like we can't stop moving—like sitting still feels unsafe—this episode helps us understand why. I share Jess's story, a 45-year-old marketing director whose chronic busyness protected her from an 8-year-old's stored terror. When her 17-year-old daughter said, "Mom, we never really got to be together," Jess knew something had to change. We'll explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as high-functioning exhaustion, emotional disconnection, and perfectionism. We'll see how trauma becomes biology—and why our body holds on until it feels safe enough to let go. In this episode you'll learn: [00:00] Why a "good childhood" doesn't guarantee a nervous system free of trauma [02:15] How Jess's busyness, weight gain, and exhaustion were signs of stored trauma [06:40] Why stillness feels unsafe when the body equates pausing with overwhelm [09:10] Thinking vs feeling: how living in your head blocks somatic trauma healing [12:45] The real definition of trauma: overwhelm inside the body, not just events [16:05] Startle → stress → freeze → shutdown: the trauma response sequence in the nervous system [18:40] How the vagus nerve turns overwhelm into a whole-body shutdown response [21:20] Overwhelm as biology: fatigue, gut issues, emotional eating, and chronic anxiety [24:05] Why somatic work can retraumatize you if you don't feel safe first [26:30] The essential safety sequence: safety → support → growth into calm aliveness [28:15] How Jess used the Foundational Journey to break the cycle with her daughter Main Takeaways: Trauma Happens Inside the Body: Trauma isn't defined by events—it's what happens inside of us when overwhelm outpaces our capacity to cope. Overwhelm Is Trauma Biology: When the size of the problems we face feels bigger than our resources, our nervous system shifts from stress into trauma—leading to freeze, shutdown, and hopelessness. Chronic Busyness and Perfectionism Can Be Functional Freeze: What looks like overachieving may actually be a protective response. Our body may be using busyness to avoid stored pain. The Vagus Nerve Makes Trauma Physical: It carries the signal of shutdown throughout our system—leading to fatigue, gut issues, disconnection, and a loss of aliveness. We Must Follow the Same Path Out That We Took In: Skipping straight to calm never works. True healing follows this path: Safety → Support → Expansion. Healing Breaks Generational Patterns: Jess's journey shows what becomes possible when we regulate our nervous system and choose presence over protection. Notable Quotes: "Trauma isn't what happened to us—it's what happened inside of us". "Busyness kept me safe. It kept me from drowning in emotions I couldn't process". "We have to follow the same path that our body took." "Our body holds its truth. Our mind tells us what it wants us to hear." "Safety first, then Support, then Expansion. You cannot skip the sequence." "Our body needs safety to come out of shutdown. Until we create that, it will stay closed." Episode Takeaway: Trauma isn't about what happened—it's about what overwhelmed our nervous system and pushed it into survival mode. Chronic busyness, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are often signs our body is still trying to protect us. But when we follow the Essential Sequence—Safety, then Support, then Expansion—we can safely access and resolve what our body has been holding. Healing becomes possible when our body finally knows it's safe to feel, to rest, and to be present.

Our bodies hold onto trauma, toxins, and pain for biological reasons—not willpower. Dr. Aimie Apigian shares her bathtub breaking point and the 3-phase Biology of Trauma® framework that changed everything: how to prepare, open channels, and safely release what our nervous systems have been protecting us from. After her third collarbone break in a 2017 car accident, Dr. Aimie found herself back in depression, chronic fatigue, and developing chronic pain—despite years of therapy and functional medicine work. Crying in a bathtub, she realized her body wasn't broken; it was scared to let go. This episode reveals her discovery of the hidden connection between emotional toxins, psychological toxins, and biochemical toxins—and why our nervous systems hold on to all three. You'll learn the exact six-step process that moves through preparation, opening drainage pathways, and active release, plus why forcing detoxification before our bodies feel safe makes symptoms worse, not better. This framework bridges somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and functional medicine for both individuals struggling with stored trauma and practitioners helping clients who feel stuck. Whether we're dealing with chronic pain, autoimmunity, insomnia, or anxiety that won't shift, or we're therapists or health professionals seeking trauma-informed approaches, this episode explains how to create a biology of letting go. Dr. Aimie shows us how to work with our bodies' protective wisdom instead of fighting against it—so we can finally experience the freedom, authenticity, and healing our nervous systems have been waiting to feel safe enough to allow. In this episode you'll learn: [03:32] Why Your Body Holds On: The relationship with the past that serves survival and the parts that aren't ready to let go [07:00] The Body Trauma Loop: Nervous system pattern of looping between stress and overwhelm that keeps you stuck holding on [12:37] Holding On to Regrets: How regret creates bracing and collapse in the body and why it's one of the hardest things to release [14:58] When Life Didn't Go as Supposed: The deep sadness of holding on to how things were meant to be instead of what is [19:21] The Biggest Myth About Letting Go: Why letting go isn't a decision you make but a biology your body needs to feel safe enough to create [20:33] Three Types of Toxins We Hold: Emotional toxins, psychological toxins, and biochemical toxins all accumulate the same way in your body [23:32] Why Bodies Hold Biochemical Toxins: When you have a biology of holding on emotionally, you also hold mold, metals, parasites, and environmental toxins [28:00] Three Phases of Letting Go: Preparation, opening channels, and deep cleaning—why skipping preparation makes everything worse [31:52] What Happens When You Detox Wrong: Fatigue, mood issues, sleep problems, and brain fog all worsen when deep cleaning happens without open channels [34:11] The Six-Week Process: Creating safety, building support, working with breath, pacing the release, feeling emotions, and active detoxification [38:45] Opening Drainage Pathways: Why poop, pee, and sweat matter for letting go and how constipation keeps trauma stuck [41:00] Always Do Phases One and Two: Why you should always be resourced with open channels even when not actively detoxifying Main Takeaways: Letting Go is Biology, Not Decision: Your body holds on because it doesn't believe letting go is safe yet, not because you lack willpower or haven't decided to move forward with your mind Emotional and Biochemical Toxins Connect: When you hold emotional toxins from regrets and psychological toxins from limiting beliefs, your biology also holds biochemical toxins like mold, heavy metals, and parasites The Body Trauma Loop Keeps You Stuck: Nervous systems that loop between stress and overwhelm without reaching calm aliveness create a biology of holding on rather than releasing Deep Cleaning Without Preparation Retraumatizes: Doing intensive trauma work or detoxification before opening your channels and creating safety brings pain to the surface without allowing it to leave, making symptoms worse Regrets Create Bracing and Collapse: Holding on to regrets shows up as simultaneous bracing in shoulders and collapse in chest and heart, demonstrating how past pain lives in present body Dysregulation Multiplied by Time Becomes Chronic Conditions: Twenty years of nervous system dysregulation creates autoimmunity, chronic pain, and long-haul syndromes through accumulated toxin burden that body won't release Three Phases Must Follow Sequence: Preparation creates safety, opening channels allows ventilation, and deep cleaning releases what's ready—skipping steps or reversing order causes more harm than healing Always Resource and Keep Channels Open: Even when not actively detoxifying, you should always be doing phases one and two to prevent accumulation and stay ready for life's hard experiences Notable Quotes: "If it makes you sick 20 years later, that wasn't stress—that was trauma. You see childhood through adult eyes now, but that's not how you lived it." "Trauma becomes our biology. Then our biology blocks our healing, joy, and authenticity." "The more emotional toxins we hold, the more biochemical toxins our body holds—mold, plastics, heavy metals, parasites." "Deep cleaning without release retraumatizes us. We surface the trauma but don't let it leave. It makes things worse." "Once we recognize we're holding on, the choice becomes clear: stay small and safe, or let go safely and live freely." Episode Takeaway: Letting go isn't about willpower—it's biology our nervous system needs to feel safe to create. When we hold emotional toxins, our body creates a biology of holding on. That same biology holds biochemical toxins: mold, heavy metals, parasites. Our bodies don't distinguish between toxic emotions and toxic chemicals. Both require the same three-phase process to release safely. Preparation creates safety so our nervous system considers letting go. Opening channels provides ventilation so what surfaces can actually leave. Deep cleaning happens last because without preparation, pain surfaces with nowhere to go. This is why intensive trauma work or aggressive detox makes fatigue, mood, and pain worse. The key insight: always do phases one and two, even when not actively detoxifying. Keep our drainage pathways open to prevent accumulation. When we're emotionally or physically constipated, toxins build up instead of moving through. Letting go becomes a way of being—creating a biology that releases rather than holds on.

Frank Miller is regarded as one of the most influential and awarded creators. He began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first gaining notoriety as the artist, and later writer, of Daredevil for Marvel Comics. Next, came the science-fiction samurai drama Ronin, followed by the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One with artist David Mazzuchelli. Following these seminal works, Miller fulfilled a lifelong dream by doing an all-out crime series, Sin City, which spawned two blockbuster films that he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. Miller's multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was also adapted into a highly successful film by Zack Snyder. His upcoming memoir, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, is now available for pre-order.This episode is brought to you by: Eight Sleep Pod Cover 5 sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating: EightSleep.com/Tim (use code TIM to get $350 off your very own Pod 5 Ultra.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:14] Aristotle's definition of happiness: Devotion to excellence.[00:03:02] Tools of the trade: Blackwing pencils, India ink, liquid frisket.[00:04:45] Sin City‘s physical creation at “twice up” size.[00:08:06] The toothbrush spatter technique.[00:09:24] Channeling impatience, anger, and violence into dramatic creative work.[00:10:33] What Jack Kirby knew about making comics competitive with cinema's spectacle.[00:11:56] Will Eisner and The Spirit‘s influence on the US market where writer-artist duality is rare.[00:13:33] How Jack Kirby blasted apart the panel grid (and a young Frank's mind).[00:15:49] Push the wall and defy the code.[00:19:54] The ruthless mentorship of Neal Adams.[00:24:57] The genesis of the Elektra amd Daredevil “soap opera.”[00:27:56] Story structure: Start late, end early.[00:29:10] Trusting the muse over rigid methodology.[00:31:15] European invasion: Moebius and Forbidden Planet.[00:32:52] Japanese influence: Lone Wolf and Cub‘s impact.[00:34:30] Cultural differences in depicting violence and motion.[00:36:38] Ronin: Shameless imitation and rebirth.[00:37:28] How does Frank know if something is working (or not working)?[00:39:27] The critical reception of Ronin as a “broken nose.”[00:42:37] The ruthless structure of The Dark Knight Returns.[00:43:40] Mutual elevation with “smartest fan” Alan Moore.[00:48:26] Robert Rodriguez: Angel of goodwill and generosity.[00:49:28] Sin City film: Co-directing and the Director's Guild sacrifice.[00:50:31] Working as a “two-headed beast” with Rodriguez.[00:55:27] Favorite films.[00:58:19] Books and ancient history inspiring 300.[00:59:00] Hollywood lessons: The importance of working with the right people.[01:01:13] The partnership and guidance of Silenn Thomas.[01:02:01] The clarity and creative rejuvenation of getting sober from alcohol.[01:04:48] Advice for aspiring comic artists: Story, story, story.[01:06:20] Learning to draw: Bridgman and Loomis books.[01:08:07] Perspective as a mathematical trick and lie.[01:11:00] Dick Giordano's advice: Lay in blacks first.[01:13:52] Sin City workflow innovation: Batch processing stages.[01:15:48] Dark Horse Comics and creative freedom.[01:17:29] Economy of line work and elegant minimalism.[01:20:46] On collaborating with Bill Sienkiewicz on Elektra.[01:25:20] Billboard wisdom: “Ask every question,” and “Why?”[01:27:08] Challenging pathological conformity.[01:27:39] Parting thoughts and where to find Frank's work.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
