The second in a series of stories we're sharing in partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature, this narrated essay by Aboriginal scholar Tyson Yunkaporta explores the ways we've long mistaken cerebral thinking for knowing, and in doing so, dulled a more vital intelligence. He argues that we are “overthinking and underfeeling” our existence, and reminds us that we have a second brain: the gut, which “governs terrestrial relations and is in constant communication with land and all our human and nonhuman kin.” Likening our intellect to lightning, Tyson shares how we must let it interact with the regenerative and relational “fire” of our bellies if we are to respond properly to the needs of land and cosmos.

Exploring Values-Driven Fatherhood In a recent episode of the Dads with Daughters podcast we sat down with Dr. Jason Frishman of JourneyMen to delve into vital conversations surrounding fatherhood, societal equity, and the evolving role of dads in modern families. From building equitable homes to redefining traditional masculinity, this episode offered profound insights and practical advice for every father aiming to be more present and effective in their children's lives. Below, we unpack the most compelling segments from their conversation. The Roots of Social Justice in Family Life Dr. Jason Frishman shared how his upbringing, influenced by deeply rooted values of equality and social justice, shaped his perspectives on parenting. The lessons he learned from his grandparents and parents about fairness and understanding have become the foundation of how he raises his own children. Jason emphasized that fostering an equitable home environment isn't only a moral obligation; it's essential for nurturing well-rounded, empathetic individuals. Concerns Over Societal Pressures One of Jason's primary concerns lies in the societal pressures that could impact his children's values and character as they grow. He pointed out that while more men are spending time at home, the growth in fatherhood roles hasn't kept pace with these changes. This lag can lead to challenges as men navigate roles they may not be fully prepared for, often under the weight of traditional societal expectations. Transitioning from Children to Fathers: A Professional and Personal Journey Jason's professional journey has taken him from working with children to specializing in counseling men and fathers. This shift was driven by his passion for creating positive societal change and challenging the traditional narratives of masculinity. He introduced the concept of "foundational adventures," a counternarrative designed to redefine what it means to be a man and a father in today's world. Embracing New Masculinity Narratives Journeymen, the organization Jason is involved with, seeks to redefine masculinity and fatherhood. By promoting more inclusive partnerships at home, Journeymen encourages fathers to be active, engaged, and supportive partners, paving the way for healthier family dynamics. Jason's personal realization of embedded patriarchal thoughts highlighted the need for continuous growth and change, both individually and collectively. Values Work as a Beacon for Personal Growth A crucial part of Jason's message is the role of values in guiding personal growth. He stressed that challenges and conflicts shouldn't be seen as roadblocks but as opportunities for learning and development. For fathers seeking to make meaningful changes, Jason advises starting with a clear vision of what they want their household and relationships to look like, then identifying and overcoming the barriers that stand in their way. The Universal Chaos of Parenting Dr. Christopher Lewis underscored that parenting is a shared experience, often chaotic and busy but profoundly rewarding. Likening it to managing a boat full of "tiny screaming passengers," Dr. Lewis emphasized the importance of being actively involved in all aspects of children's lives—from spending quality time, imparting lessons, and preparing meals, to celebrating special moments. This hands-on approach is essential for building strong father-daughter relationships. A Call to Action for Fathers Both Dr. Lewis and Dr. Jason Frishman called on fathers to be intentional and present in their children's lives. Jason suggested that being a better father and partner involves becoming a stronger, more grounded individual. Overcoming obstacles requires a clear understanding of one's values and the dedication to addressing what hinders their achievement. Intentional Parenting: Building Connections and Having Fun Jason also highlighted the significance of intentionality in parenting. This involves using language consciously, allowing children to have a voice in their upbringing, and ensuring that parenting decisions align with core values. Moreover, he stressed the importance of having fun and enjoying time with family, as these moments create lasting bonds and cherished memories. The Fatherhood Five: Embracing Connections and Small Gestures In the 'Fatherhood Five' segment, Jason shared his personal reflections on fatherhood, describing it as fundamentally about connections. He prides himself on the close relationship his sons share and hopes they would describe him as silly, optimistic, and caring. Jason finds inspiration from his sons, wife, parents, and a close group of male friends, and he holds steadfast to the advice of consistently showing love through small, intentional actions. Dr. Dr. Jason Frishman's insights on the Dads with Daughters podcast offer a compelling vision for modern fatherhood—one rooted in equity, intentionality, and joy. By embracing these principles, fathers can create nurturing environments that foster positive growth and deep connections with their children.

Dr. Jason Frishman was a part of Sarah Maconachie's book of stories about fathers called Working Dads and Balancing Acts. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:00:05]: Welcome to dads with daughters. In this show, we spotlight dads, resources, and more to help you be the best dad you can be. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:00:16]: Welcome back to the Dads with Daughters podcast where we bring you guests to be active participants in your daughters' lives, raising them to be strong, independent women. Really excited to have you back again this week. Love being able to be on this journey with you, knowing that you know that I've got 2 daughters. I know that you have daughters. And it is a great opportunity for us to walk on this path together because the journey that I am on is not going to be the same journey that you're on, but we have similarities. There are things that we go through that are similar, and we can learn and grow from each other, and we can learn and grow from other fathers that are doing fatherhood in a little bit different way. We can push ourselves to be able to get out of our comfort zone. We can push ourselves to do something different, to be that engaged father, that more present father that we want to be. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:10]: And that's why the show exists. The show exists so that every week, you have an opportunity to take what you're learning and put it into action, to be able to hear from others that have gone before you that are doing fatherhood in a little bit different way, that have different resources that are available to you and can help you in that journey that you're on. So thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being back every week. And I love being able to bring you different guests that are going to be able to help you in different ways. And this week, we got another great guest with us. Doctor. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:42]: Jason Frischman is with us today. And Doctor. Frischman is a father of 2 sons, but he also works with men that are struggling to balance work and family and that are working to become more confident, connected, and fully alive. And we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about the journey that he's been on as a father, and I'm really looking forward to talking to him today. Jason, thanks so much for being here today. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:02:06]: Excellent. Thank you so much. I'm really glad and looking forward to our conversation. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:02:10]: Well, I'm excited to have you here today as well. And first and foremost, I wanna turn the clock back. I know you've got some teenagers in the house right now, and I would love to turn the clock back. I said I did say you had sons. So I wanna go back to that first moment that you found out that you were gonna be a father to a son. What was going through your head? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:02:29]: It's a powerful and important question. We didn't find out that the baby was gonna be a son until he was born. And actually his birth story was a really hard one. And so because of everything that was going on, we were planning a home birth and it was all picture perfect and beautiful until it wasn't. And then we wound up in the emergency room at the hospital. And frankly, when I found out he was a boy, that I was having a son, it was the least of my concerns. And we were just so very happy that he was healthy, that my wife was healthy. He fortunately didn't need to spend time in the NICU. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:03:03]: And so the first and foremost was we have a healthy baby. And the next piece was once it hit that we you know, I had a son. And at that time in my life, working as a psychologist, I worked even then primarily with males, male identifying clients. And so I think when Micah was born, I think I was nonplussed in terms of gender, but I also was like, well, I'm kind of an expert in that, so maybe it'll be easier. Flash forward, it it hasn't been, but that's besides the plight. But the other piece is and this happened more when we had our second son because I think we knew we were only gonna have 2, but having 2 sons, we knew that we have a big responsibility in terms of raising good boys. That is something that I've spent my entire career helping others to do, and it sort of became our turn. And so I think both my wife and I have felt like we were meant to raise good men, and that's why we have 2 sons. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:03:57]: But we also feel in our risk this responsibility that boys and young men in this culture, they have a lot of work to do. And so we our values and who we are as both humans and parents and friends and etcetera, we wanted our children to be raised a little bit differently. Part of your introduction about, like, parents who do it a little differently. That was a big part of the intention that we have in every developmental stage of our kids' lives. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:04:23]: So talk to me about parenting a little differently. How do you define that, and what have you tried to do in your sons' lives to parent differently and to allow for them that that difference to be in their life in that regard? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:04:36]: Well, I think the first piece, which sounds very simple and yet has always been very challenging and something that we stay aware of is a lot of what we do, we want to be intentional. Intentionality and transparency are 2 of our common values as parents. And so I'll give a good example. Both my wife and I are trained as narrative therapists. And so in the narrative therapy world, language is very important. We believe that language and stories help derive and and drive reality. Right? And so the language that we use, even when our kids were pre verbal, was very intentional. So for example, at the time, when my first born son was was was born, we made the decision that I would continue working and seeing clients and my wife would stay home. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:05:19]: Now, on the one hand, that is a very typical traditional gender split, but because we are intentional about it, it changed the way we had to talk about what that was like. And so a great example is even when my son was preverbal as an infant, we never used the language of papa's going to work, and we corrected others when they said that. Right? Papa's going to the office. Right? Because saying that I'm going to work, what does that say about my wife who's staying home? Right? And so we were very intentional about the fact that, you know, she was doing more, you know, work if not, you know, as much if not more work than I am. And so we never wanted that language to to build a, a sort of a schema for for our kids where father goes to work, mama stays home. Right? And so intentionality around the language we use, intentionality around, the the products, the the things that we do with our kids, that was always very important. Another another good example is that, you know, I'm big at both of us are big in the food world. I I've been a cook and a chef and I've taught I've used it. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:06:36]: We've had small businesses with food and, you know, food values are very important to us. And so my wife who has been a a vegetarian since 14, she said, most vegetarians choose to be vegetarian. We're raised as omnivores or carnivores, and we choose to be vegetarian. We chose to raise our kids as vegetarian. And when they showed that they sort of understood the values and the ideas and the morals that we were sharing, then they could make their own choice. And right now, both of my kids have chosen to eat meat. My wife actually has started eating meat, and yet we're very intentional. Like at this point, we only eat meat if we know the farmer. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:07:16]: And in Vermont, we can do that. But most of the time when we go out, we said tell we we're vegetarian because we can't do it otherwise. So these are sort of mundane but important examples. But in terms of parenting differently, we're very intentional, transparent. We're aware of our language and the language we use, especially around gender with our kids. And then the other part is we're very, like I said, transparent. So my kids have always had a voice. Not that, you know, we're the adults and we're in charge, but my kids have always had a voice in in kind of what we do, how we do it. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:07:53]: They are able and and comfortable to give me feedback. I ask for it as the parent, as the father. And so sometimes I don't always like that, but it but but I but I always welcome the fact that they can tell me or share with me what I'm doing, how that makes them feel, and what it makes them think about. And it gives them a voice and agency and empowers them to grow into themselves in the boundaries that we as the parents have set. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:08:22]: So talk to me about that intention. And not every father, not every man has gotten to that point where they are doing the same thing or that they are trying or working to build a equitable home in regards to what is happening inside their own home. And we definitely don't see the equity being rewarded from a societal end. So personally, and it may go back to how you were raised, what made you personally decide as a man, as a father, as a husband, that that was important to you and that you wanted to instill that in your own children, and you wanted to break the the societal cycle, let's say, that is out there? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:09:10]: Wow. That one question we could spend, you know, a lot of time on, but two things. You hit the nail on the head in terms of it does start with my own upbringing and childhood. I would start even with my mother's parents, who've sadly recently both passed away. They were partners in the truest sense of the word. Even as a child, I remember that. The 2 of them sat down and did the taxes together. My grandmother, in a time when that didn't really happen, she was as aware of the money and the investments and that, you know, she was as aware of that, if not more than my grandfather. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:09:43]: And they were real partners. There's a great story is my grandfather drove me to college when I graduated high school. My parents were working. And I recently asked, I said, was grandma there? Did she go too? And my mom was like, of course, they did everything together. They were real partners. So that was the model I got from my grandparents. My parents, very, very similar. At one point, my mom went back to grad school and said, if y'all wanna eat, you better learn how to cook. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:10:07]: And my father learned how to cook. And so I always witnessed this sort of working towards equality and working towards an awareness of how we are at home and how the society at large is, and just the strength and courage it takes to do things differently. So that has always been a part of the way I look at the world. And then of course, you know, I I grew up trained as a psychologist. I try I got my master's and my doctorate and was always leaning. I used to joke that as a psychologist, I'm sort of a social worker in psychologist clothing. I have always been someone who looks towards social justice and equality and has been impacted by the inequality and the the sort of oppression and challenges that are led. And then, because of my working with boys and men for so many years, I'm a white man in this culture. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:10:56]: And having the background that I have, that has all become very prominent. And really, I find it to be one of the most vital issues in our culture today is the level that patriarchy has damaged both men, boys, and subsequently, every you know, families. And so it has become a real passion of mine to work for equality and just intentionality in the way that we use language and and work with gender. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:11:23]: So as you think about raising your sons, and as you talked about, you're raising your sons in a different way and challenging them and pushing them and encouraging them in different ways in the way that they are being raised. As you look at your biggest fear in raising them today? When I was young, my mom do you remember the 2? Fear in raising them today? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:11:44]: When I was young, my mom do you remember the TV show Family Ties? Yep. So when I was young and I was a very liberal, even more so than my parents, progressive kind of thinker, all these things, my mom used to tease me that I was gonna get an Alex P. Keaton furissa. And that's not my worry. I don't think that's gonna happen. But I do worry that the strength and presence of my kids is going to be battered at from a larger society. I mean, we have purposefully, like, you know, my kids have been in a bubble. Like we encourage childhood in a very solid way. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:12:18]: And we live in a rural town in a small state that is very white. And, you know, we've done our best to expose them to the world, and we talk politics. You know, we share things with them. But I guess my my my, one of my big fears or worries is that when they go out into the world, will they have enough of a solid foundation to stand on when they're hit with much of the mainstream ethos and pathos, you know, frankly. How will they hold up? Now, if the way they say it up to me is any indication, I think we'll be fine. But I do worry sometimes that the the sort of mainstream masculine way of being expectations and roles will beat them down a little bit. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:12:58]: I appreciate you sharing that. Now I mentioned at the beginning that you work with men and that you are working with them, with individuals that are struggling to balance work and family and be connected and confident and helping them to, as I said, fully alive. Talk to me about how you got into this work and why you decided that working with men and creating journeymen was something that was a passion area and was something that you really wanted to focus on? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:13:31]: So I've been a therapist. I've been as a psychologist, I've been working for about 25 years, and almost exclusively with boys, men, and families. And when I started my career, I'm naively embarrassed to share that I started my career and said I'm always gonna work with kids because if you're an adult and you're a jerk, it's too late for you. Now that is really naive to say, you know, 25 years later, I'm embarrassed that that was my way of thinking. I was saying that to justify that I love working with kids, but I had my own kids and I really wanted to save my sort of child energy for my kids and the community that we have. So I started working with older men and eventually sort of landed on men and fathers as a way of working. And as that was developing, as I was then specializing in learning and doing a lot of research on masculine psychology and sociology, you know, all of these things. I also simultaneously was going through a change in the narratives that I work with, that I love. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:14:26]: So you may have heard of the hero's journey. It is a narrative that is sort of ubiquitous in our culture. It's all the the Pixar movies, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, all of these things. I love that narrative. I wrote my dissertation from the metaphor of that narrative, and it probably was 85 to 95% of all of the interventions, questions, and and work that I did was based around a really in-depth learning of the hero's journey. That said, about 15 years ago, something hit me. Part of narrative therapy is this idea of questioning taken for granted stories. So in professional honesty, I had to question my own favorite narrative, the hero's journey. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:15:04]: Long story short, I actually now feel that although I still love The Hero's Journey, it's actually not complete. And the fact that it is so omnipresent is actually quite damaging to boys and men. And the fact that our primary narrative models tell us that we either have to be epic or legendary in order to be worthy is really troubling and damaging to men who, most men who are going to work and coming home and you know, doing the dishes and things like that. And so the challenge or the the passion part of developing journeyman came from working more and more with men and fathers and finding how powerful that work was. It came from developing a counternarrative to the hero's journey, which I now call foundational adventures. And it came to this idea of like listening to men who, you know, may be super successful at work, but then they come home and they're lost. They come home and they're stuck. They come home and where's my place? There's a fact, a detail that I remember reading somewhere. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:16:01]: I won't use the exact numbers because I'll get it wrong, but there is a large amount of men who are largely spending more time at home than ever before, which we might think, hey. That's wonderful. And it is. But there's also hasn't been the equal amount of growth and development for father about what to do when they're at home. So that they're staying more at home. Some guys are getting it lucky and doing well and and being real present to their kids. But many men are staying at or or at home more with their kids, but coming at it with the same mindset mentality and social training that we've had for the last 100 years, which means that they're at home more and there's more opportunities to make trouble or mistakes or propagate this sort of mindset. And so the idea for me is that Journeymen was, how do we write new narratives for masculinity and fatherhood that involve and include a partnership at home and honor going and battling dragons or being off at work doing things and really developing deeper, more meaningful stories for men who just like everyone else on the planet, need emotional connections, strong deep depth of relationships, and love, frankly. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:17:11]: And talk to me about over the years, you've been doing this journeyman work since 2019 when you started things. And I'm sure over the time and over working with men in this work that you learned a lot more about men, but also more about yourself. And talk to me about that. And what have been some of the biggest takeaways for yourself as a father, a husband, a man that you're putting now into place in your own life and some of the things that you're learning about the work that you're doing and some of the biggest struggles that men are struggling with? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:17:46]: The front of mind answer around learnings for me personally that I'm learning from the work and then bringing it home and then bring it back to the work deep in it is none of us are done. I think I'm pretty conscientious. I'm pretty aware. You know, all of these things, and I am. And yet recently, my wife and I had a huge argument about something that was very based in sort of sexism, very based in my unwillingness to be open to a partnership, ideal. And frankly, initially, when she said it that way, I was offended. Like, I wasn't open. I do this work every day. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:18:21]: And, you know, all of a sudden, I'm getting called out for something. And once I breathed, once I, like, let it sort of settle a little bit, it was really powerful for me to say, okay, you're right. Some of this patriarchal thought or dominance based culture, however we wanna talk about it, is so deeply embedded in all of us. And so for me, it's that there's always growth, potential, and possibility. And I've been using this statement a lot both at work and at home, but the magic and the treasure is in the muck. There's this narrative. There's this story in our culture that it'll be good when. As long as I get to blank or once I turn blank, you know, like, once I get to the end, it'll be better. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:19:00]: And I think there's such a problematic ideology there. And so a lot of it is in the muck, in the marshes, in the trouble. That's where the magic is. That's where the treasure is. And so one of the best learnings that came from that that I bring back to the work at Journeyman is we do a lot of values work. You know, let's learn what's important to us. And I do something called the values compass. It's an exercise where we pick 4 values that are can be visibly expressed, that I can see, right? Not this big ethereal, vague value, but something that is real can be specific. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:19:36]: And I have the guys pick 4 values that are inherently connected to the goal, the treasure that they're working on. And we put them in a compass. Well, what we've started to talk about in addition to the magic is in the muck is that our values are both the directional points and the steps on your path on your journey and the treasure. So if I'm following my values, number 1, I know the right direction and choices to make. But number 2, if I'm following my values, I'm feeling better. I'm doing better. I'm acting better. So I've actually achieved my goal on the way towards achieving my goal. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:20:14]: And so that you're always going up and down with that. It's a challenge and it's it's terribly difficult to live your values in the everyday. And so when we're doing it, let's recognize it and say, oh, I found a treasure. I've hit a goal. Now it's time to get back to it because I gotta keep walking. I'm in the muck. Right? And so it's nothing new. It's nothing some it's not an insight that I think I've developed. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:20:34]: I mean, Buddhists have lots of people have used it forever. I think there's a saying, no mud, no lotus. That's in a saying. Same kind of thing is that our challenges, our arguments, our conflicts are is always an opportunity for growth, and that's where the treasure is. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:20:47]: I love that. And I love that statement because I think you're completely right. I mean, there is a lot of muck that we go through in being fathers and being men. I guess one of the questions that I would have for you in the work that you're doing is there are going to be fathers that have not worked with you, but are thinking to themselves, you know what? There's some things that we that I could maybe be doing here based on what Jason's saying. What are some initial steps, some things that they could do right now today that could get them moving in at least the right direction? It may still mean that they wanna work with you down the road, but at least to have either an internal dialogue or have something that will allow for them to push themselves in the right direction in this regard. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:21:30]: I think the first step and and I have guys do this early on in the work anyway, and I I it's I think it's really important. There's there's 2 different things to become aware of. The first is what do we want? And I can blow that out. What kind of father do I wanna be? What kind of sons or daughters do I wanna raise? Not that I have much control over that, but in an ideal sense, what would I like to give to my kids? What kind of legacy do I wanna to share with them? What kind of values do I want to do I want to exist in my household? And really taking a look at what I would like that to be. How I would like do I want a household where after dinner, everybody's sitting on the same couch looking at their phones? Do I wanna have a household where everybody goes back to their rooms and does whatever, but we're not connected? Do I wanna have some mixture of that, but also, like, I don't know, we're playing board games at night or whatever, but, like, real specific, what do I want my household, my home to look like? And how do I want the relationships of the people who I purport to love the most? How do I want them to be? So I want first to ask men, how do you get clear on that? Do you want to spend your time tinkering in the garage or do you wanna be with the kids? Do you want what do you want? Do you want more intimacy with your wife? I had one guy who joined Journeyman said, I want my kids to be as comfortable holding my hand at 22 as they are at 12 and that they were at 2 and he said doesn't have to be literally holding my hands, but metaphorically, I want them to have that same level of comfort throughout their life. And that was his goal. That was his treasure. So I wanna encourage fathers to think about what are the ongoing relational goals that they have in their home, with their partner, with their kids, with themselves. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:23:15]: So that would be step 1. And step 2 would be, what's getting in the way? And it's time to be radically honest with yourselves, guys. Right? What is getting in the way? Let's just use the example of not wanting everyone to be on their own phones and to be dialoguing or spending time together or doing something. What's really getting in the way? Starting with you and the other adults in the house. If you look at yourself, a lot of journeymen, a lot of the work there, I always am very explicit. It's not a parenting group. We talk about parenting. We talk about that. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:23:43]: It's not about getting your kids to eat vegetables or go to bed on time, or learn to drive the car responsibly. It's men's work. It's about you being a stronger, more present, grounded man who can be in relationship, who can be in partnership. And so with that, you're gonna be a better father. You're gonna be a better partner. You're gonna be a better, more present to everything that's going on. So to answer your question more succinctly is get it clear with what you want at home and get clear about what you really give a shit about and what's getting in the way. What's getting in the way? What are the obstacles? Right? Are you too tired? Are you too stressed? Are you is your own pattern to isolate when things happen? Is your own pattern to get reactive? What is the thing that keeps you from those goals that you're looking for and name it. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:24:26]: Can't tell you how important that is. Once you name the obstacle, you have some control over it. And I've had clients who, once they identify it, really understand it and give it a name, I've had clients tell me like, oh my god, things are so much better. Just because they start to notice and they start to give something a name, you have some power. So those would be the 2 steps that I would suggest anyone can start to get a handle on before even getting into this work more deeply. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:24:48]: Well, I appreciate you sharing that because I think it is a journey and definitely something that will take time and effort, and you may have to get out of some bad practices or bad ruts that your family might have gotten into, especially over COVID or other aspects that change things. You know, you may have to make some adjustments within your home and really think deeply about where you want to be, where you are right now, as Jason already said. Now, Jason, we always finish our interviews with what I like to call our fatherhood 5, where I ask you 5 more questions to delve deeper into you as a dad. Are you ready? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:25:22]: Before you start, can I add one thing? It'll be very quick. I am realizing I'm reflecting even on what I said, and it all sounds very heady and up here. More importantly or most importantly is, like, having some fun. I think so much of what men do is we go to work, we come home, we discipline, we but have fun with your family. Like, you love them. Have fun with them. And I just think that so much of the work, while it has this real heady, deep depth underground, a lot of the work, especially at Journeyman, is around fun. It's around metaphor. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:25:53]: It's around being silly. It's around all those things. And so I can't emphasize that enough is that men need to be having more fun. So anyway, the fatherhood 5 we can get into, but I didn't wanna not say that. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:26:03]: In one word, what is fatherhood? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:26:05]: Connections. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:26:06]: When was the time that you finally felt like you succeeded at being a father? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:26:10]: I watch my 2 sons being friends. They're 3 and a half years apart and they're buddies. They really are. And they admit it. They like to admit it. They'll argue like other brothers, but they are close. And I watch them. My parents did the same thing, but I, my wife and I always said, we would love for our boys to be aligned together even more than they're aligned with us, and truly they are. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:26:31]: And so that that's a success. That's a big win for me. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:26:34]: If I were to talk to your sons, how would they describe you as a dad? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:26:38]: It depends on the day. I think they would say that I'm silly. I am annoyingly optimistic and positive. I love to cook and I love to take care of them. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:26:49]: Who inspires you to be a better dad? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:26:51]: Well, they do for 1, for sure. My wife does. My own parents do. And I'm really fortunate, actually. I have a close group of male friends. And the depth of friendship that I with them is unusual. And I don't take it for granted, but all of them are either fathers or uncles and are good men. And so there's a mutual, like, love, respect, and inspiration in terms of doing better. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:27:13]: You've given a lot of pieces of advice today, things for people to think about and to delve a little bit deeper into their own psyche and themselves to figure out kind of where they're at and where they wanna be. But as we finish up today, what's one piece of advice you'd wanna give to every dad? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:27:28]: Hug and kiss your kids and say the words I love you. I mean it, of course, but I think the small actions count. I think the piece of advice is really hug, kiss, and saying I love you can be lots of things, but the small intentional and consistent actions are more important than any grandiose gesture that you can do. We're working at a long term deep foundation. And so if you want your kids to be the kind of humans that you're hoping for and to have a relationship for life, then play the lifelong game. And so small, consistent, intentional actions are really the way to go. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:28:06]: Now we talked about Journeyman. We talked about the work that you're doing. If people wanna find out more about you, about Journeymen, where's the best place for them to go? Dr. Jason Frishman [00:28:13]: The 2 places. First is I live on the website, so journeymenfoundation dotcom. The other piece is right now, I say sometimes we, but it's really me. So if you email jason@nourished connections.com, you'll get me directly. And I I really enjoy connecting with people who are either fathers or who love fathers and wanna be supportive. And so those are the 2 most direct ways, but I'm also on social media. I'm on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. And one thing that I would offer is, and I can send you a link afterwards, is I did put together this sort of it's the 10 fastest, most effective ways that fathers can connect with their kids. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:28:49]: And it's all about the small, consistent actions. I do every single one of them. So this isn't just something I write about. I'm also the president. And so I can send the link to that and people are more than welcome to as soon as you when you go to that link, you can download that copy. Every single one on there, I think I timed it once. If you did all 10, I think there's a bonus 11. But if you did all 10, it's less than 12 minutes every day. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:29:11]: I love it, and we'll definitely add it to the notes today and add it in so everyone can take 10 minutes to reconnect and to better connect with your kids. Jason, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for being here today, for sharing your journey, and I wish you all the best. Dr. Jason Frishman [00:29:27]: Oh, thank you so much. This has been great. I really appreciate it. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:29:29]: If you've enjoyed today's episode of the dads with daughters podcast, we invite you to check out the fatherhood insider.

Internationally renowned fishery scientist, Ken Whelan, issues a call to action on the latest episode of The Last Salmon. He says that ranching can and will work to help improve salmon numbers in relation to supporting a rod fishery for anglers and he explains to us the background to its successful development and implementation – albeit with caveats and cautions. Likening it to racehorse breeding, he points to the Burrishoole ranching programme and the work of Dr. David Piggins and says this is the model that can be followed for supporting a rod fishery in lieu of wild stock. Whilst wild fish conservation measures must continue to be carried out, drastic and innovative action is needed, says Ken, if we are not to see entire salmon stocks disappear.

The American Psychological Association has released a new set of recommendations regarding teenagers and their use of social media. Likening social media use to getting behind the wheel of a car, APA President Thema Bryant says that “just as we require young people to be trained in order to get a driver's license, our youth need instruction in the safe and healthy use of social media.” The APA recommends that this training should not be a once and done thing, but rather something that is revisited from time to time to reinforce best practices in an effort to protect kids from potential harm. Parents should also be setting borders and boundaries, along with monitoring their child's social media use. Parents, this is a wise step to take as you fulfill your God-given responsibility to nurture and parent your children. Taking these steps might limit their exposure to content promoting self-harm, disordered eating, bigotry, sexual license, and gender fluidity. Be diligent with your kids.

Step into the emotional crucible, from the sacred halls of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to the echo chambers of the battleground of belief. As the ground invasion gets underway, Amy and Dor's courageous emotional excavation proceeds. Moral high grounds and the virtue signaling folk perched upon them come under scrutiny, exposing the pitfalls of echo chambers and the sharp sting of betrayal. From rage to resignation, Amy models a raw vulnerability as she processes her evolving emotions about the war, confronting those who talk over her lived experience. Painful interactions on social media intertwine with glimmers of hope from empathetic listeners reaching out. Reflecting on the delicate balance of maintaining a diverse social media feed and the need to shield oneself from its risks, Amy grapples with the complexities of navigating life online. Dor, crushed by a crush of yesteryear's insta-activism, wistfully reminisces about rejections both past and present. Recalling a transformative Easter Sunday visit to Jerusalem, Amy explores the power of belief and the challenge of altering perspectives. Moved by the depth of faith demonstrated by Christian pilgrims from around the world, she reveals a profound revelation: you can't change people's core beliefs; one can only meet them where they are. Likening "cancel culture" to a secular religion, Amy ponders the futility of converting the hearts and minds of devoted followers of the Cancel Culture Church. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces the press for the first time since the war's onset, deflecting questions about accountability that have been burning through Israeli society for weeks, prompting Dor to question the prerequisite of crabbiness and lament the absence of elegant kindness. Musing on the possibility of Israel being the first "canceled" country, Amy and Dor defiantly embrace the imperative of moving forward and announce changes to the show's format. Acknowledging the challenging complexities of staying connected to frequent news developments, they forgo the recaps segment. The episode culminates with a very special broadcast within a broadcast: an unwavering promise, and a bold declaration, and a heartfelt plea that will keep you on the edge of your seat til Episode 50 and hopefully beyond. Recorded on October 29 (Day 23).Thanks for tuning in!

The world-renowned Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai has told FRANCE 24 how Israel is now a "traumatised society" after the events of October 7. Likening the plight of Israelis to the American population after 9/11, he said the savage attack on civilians by Hamas is even worse than what happened in the Yom Kippur War of exactly 50 years ago, during which he himself was injured. Gitai is however highly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he calls for "peaceful solutions" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In this podcast, Hilary Saxton delves into the concept of comfort zones and their influence on personal growth. Comfort zones are the familiar, safe spaces we often remain in, preventing us from reaching our full potential. Our upbringing and early experiences shape these zones, making us hesitant to try new things. Hilary encourages listeners to identify what they are holding back from, emphasising that stepping out of their comfort zones can lead to significant personal development and a more fulfilling life. Likening it to expanding a hula hoop, the idea is to occasionally venture into the larger, growth-focused circle, and then return, with each venture expanding our original comfort boundary. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like starting the podcast and writing a book, Hilary illustrates the importance of challenging oneself and investing in personal growth. Central to this discussion is the concept of shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, asking "How can I do this?" and re-evaluating daily routines to prioritise growth. By confronting and altering established routines, even if it means letting go of familiar comforts, one can unlock boundless potential and achieve amazing things!

Casey Ebro is a veteran editor who has significantly contributed to the publishing world. She formerly served as an Executive Editor with the Business Group at McGraw Hill Professional. In this role, she was responsible for acquiring, editing, and publishing business books in various subjects such as leadership, workplace culture, entrepreneurship, and innovation. She has been responsible for bestsellers and notable titles, including “Madoff Talks” by Jim Campbell, which inspired a Netflix documentary series, and the Wall Street Journal bestsellers “Connect First” by Melanie Katzman and “Zero to IPO” by Frederic Kerrest. Casey played a pivotal role at McGraw Hill in establishing the healthcare category into a robust multi-million dollar program, which featured prominent titles like the New York Times Science bestseller “The Digital Doctor” and “The Cleveland Clinic Way”.Starting Up and Striking OutCasey's journey into the world of editing began in her formative years as a passionate bookworm. In high school, she took a significant step toward her publishing dreams by becoming the English editor for her school's literary publication called “Facets”. She reveled in the collaborative process with other editors and took pleasure in discovering the literary talents of her peers. Her passion further intensified in university, where she joined the literary publication named “Heights”, participating in deeper, more advanced discussions about submitted works. These university experiences exposed her to diverse opinions and debates, making the editing environment incredibly stimulating and enriching for her.A Book is a Business“Writing a book is like starting a business,” according to Casey. Authors are entrepreneurs introducing a unique product to the market. In essence, the book is a reflection of the author's ideas and beliefs, and its promotion doesn't end post-publication. Some successful books keep selling years or even decades after their release, and this continued success comes from the author's dedication to the ideas and ensuring they reach as many readers as possible. Publishing a book is a long-term commitment that requires careful execution, planning, and motivation. “A lot of people think about it in terms of the first three months or the first six months or first year or first three years after a book is published. I think that's really short sighted because if the ideas are good, they're good from now till kingdom come,” Casey shares. A book, like a product, needs to find its audience, establish product-market fit, and receive investment for growth, Barry agrees. “It never ends.”Investing in IdeasBarry and Casey discuss the challenges of book publishing. Barry remarks that the journey isn't just about having a great idea; it's about putting in the necessary work to present the idea, penning an entire chapter about it, and then devising a plan on how to maximize its potential. Likening this to the startup experience, Barry notes, “It's almost like I had to have a pitch deck. What's the problem I'm solving? Who's the target customer? What's my go-to-market plan? How am I going to generate sales and then also write a chapter to exemplify the idea?” Casey comments that selecting a manuscript is similar to venture capitalists choosing a startup to invest in.Looking AheadCasey wants authors to confidently claim their space, believing they are uniquely positioned to address a topic due to their specific experiences, inventions, or groundbreaking insights. This individuality becomes crucial when competing against established names in the industry, given that readers will be investing both money and time in their book.Read full show notes at BarryOReilly.comResourcesCasey Ebro on LinkedIn
In episode 187 of the Martini Mortgage Podcast, host Kevin Martini, a Certified Mortgage Advisor and Producing Branch Manager with the Martini Mortgage Group at Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group, delves into the significant connection between personal habits and credit scores. Utilizing the analogy of a car's maintenance, Martini emphasizes that 35% of a person's credit score performance is dependent on their timeliness in paying debts. Likening various financial mishaps to flat tires and rusty engines, he underscores the serious consequences of late payments, charge-offs, bankruptcies, and judgments on one's credit health. Martini goes on to detail the importance of mortgage payments, comparing them to the transmission of a car, and explaining how even a single late payment can have drastic effects on interest rates and loan terms. Other debts, like car payments and credit cards, are also vital, but less critical. He stresses that the key to a healthy credit score is similar to maintaining a vehicle: paying attention to the details and being consistent in taking care of the financial responsibilities. With timely payment history impacting 35% of one's credit score, Martini encourages listeners to be proactive in managing their credit to enjoy the financial freedom that can fuel their dreams. In addition to his insights on credit management, Martini expresses his passion for helping individuals and families build generational wealth through proper mortgage strategies. He invites listeners to reach out to him personally for guidance tailored to their specific circumstances and market conditions. The episode serves as a comprehensive and relatable guide to understanding the role of habits in determining credit scores, promoting the idea that attentive and responsible financial behavior can lead to a prosperous future.

The American Psychological Association has released a new set of recommendations regarding teenagers and their use of social media. Likening social media use to getting behind the wheel of a car, APA President Thema Bryant says that “just as we require young people to be trained in order to get a driver's license, our youth need instruction in the safe and healthy use of social media.” The APA recommends that this training should not be a once and done thing, but rather something that is revisited from time to time to reinforce best practices in an effort to protect kids from potential harm. Parents should also be setting borders and boundaries, along with monitoring their child's social media use. Parents, this is a wise step to take as you fulfill your God-given responsibility to nurture and parent your children. Taking these steps might limit their exposure to content promoting self-harm, disordered eating, bigotry, sexual license, and gender fluidity. Be diligent with your kids.

Today I'm talking about three very significant things that will block our healing process. Just like we can't expect to get physically healthy if we keep ingesting toxic foods, our mental and emotional space also needs to be curated in order to create an environment ripe for healing. In this episode I go into three areas that may be holding you back from making the breakthroughs you desire in your life. It is just as important to know what to do, as what NOT to do in our lives to create optimal results. In yogic terminology these correlate to the Yamas and Niyamas, the first two limbs of yoga. Just for reference, the Yama's (the first of 8 limbs, or practices in yoga) are five qualities of character that we abstain from (ie: violence, lying, stealing, boundarylessness, greed) . The Niyama's include five personal codes of ethics that we practice (purity, contentment, spiritual study, surrender, acceptance). Each are equally important: to have things that we cultivate in life, as well as things we avoid. Likening this metaphor to a garden, there are weeds we must pull, and seeds we must choose to plant if we desire to have a prosperous and healthy garden. I hope this episode is helpful!

Emily Robison Adams remembers the feeling well—like she'd been put in a cast iron pot with the lid placed on top, unable to feel God's presence in her life. Shaken and disoriented, she tried everything she could think of to reach Him, and yet she felt nothing. God was silent. But at her mother's encouragement, Emily wrote down what she was experiencing through this supposed silence, and in the process she began to believe that God wasn't silent at all—He was just being quiet, providing the necessary space for Emily to learn and grow. On this week's episode, Emily shares some of the principles that began to shift her paradigm and renew her belief that God really does know what each of us needs.

For Dan Corcoran, a fascination with option pricing began in highs school. By college, he was coding up pricing models and trading strategies in MatLab. Compelled by the multi-dimensional set of inputs driving prices, in 2014 Dan set out to found Volos, the financial backtesting and consultancy firm he is now President of. Dan shares with us his love for ski jumping and the manner in which dynamic calculations – of wind speed, snow quality and lighting pitch among them – must be made, sometimes instantaneously. Likening this to option trading, he notes how quickly investors must react to changing risk parameters in derivative securities. Our conversation explores both the power and pitfalls of harnessing data to generate insights on trading strategies. Dan assets that no strategy can be static but rather investors must respond to the reality that the market's risk profile evolves over time.We turn to some of the results generated through the Volos engine as Dan shares the counterintuitive result that even through the GFC, investors would have been better off not engaging in certain hedging strategies like put spreads. The Warren Buffet saying, “price is what you pay, value is what you get” may be applicable as the sky-high price of options through that period reduced the value of the insurance payout. Lastly, we discuss benchmarking, a feature well entrenched in traditional markets like stocks and bonds, but nascent to option strategies. Here, Dan is both optimistic and excited that efforts to create benchmarks can lead to asset growth in derivative-based investment strategies. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Dan Corcoran.
In the first year of running an agency, we do anything to survive, in effect we are just trying to prove we can make the new business work but after that, if we don't have a clear vision and plan, we are in danger of going around in circles - working longer hours for a much tougher boss! There are so many reasons you need to have a clear vision, strategy and plan for your agency. But the process can get overly complex, end up not being helpful and can feel like a ‘tick box' exercise. Yet hands down, the biggest thing that held me back from growing my agency as fast as I wanted whilst feeling in control, was not being clear enough about where the business was headed. It wasn't that I had no idea what I wanted – it's just that no one ever told me how crucial it was to have an exact destination in mind when setting out to grow your agency. And without that vision, it can be easy to feel lost, directionless and demotivated.

Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) director-general Jacob Mbele has confirmed that the Integrated Resource Plan of 2019 (IRP 2019) will continue to be implemented while it is reviewed, consulted and updated – a process that is set to continue well into 2023. Speaking during a dialogue on the energy transition hosted by the Presidential Climate Commission, Mbele argued that the IRP 2019, which is widely accepted to include assumptions that are out of date, was “not irrelevant” and that its implementation would thus proceed. “The process of updating the IRP does not place on hold the implementation of the much-needed capacity as projected in the IRP 2019. “We are therefore proceeding with the implementation and roll-out of the rest of the capacity in the IRP 2019,” he said during the virtual event, which took place against the backdrop of ongoing load-shedding. Eskom has indicated that as much as 6 000 MW of new capacity is needed to reduce the risk of rotational power cuts, as well as to provide it with the “headroom” needed to conduct maintenance across a neglected and undermaintained coal fleet that has become prone to unplanned breakdowns. Both Mbele and Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe have indicated previously that a Ministerial determination is being prepared for the residual 14 000 MW of renewable energy allocated for in the IRP 2019, but which is not yet catered for under existing Ministerial determinations. Such determinations remain a prerequisite for the initiation of procurement processes for additional generation capacity. Mbele reported that Eskom energy planners had been requested to conduct the power system modelling and analysis required for the update and that the department had also commissioned the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and the Electrical Power Research Institute to help with the review of key IRP assumptions, including those relating to the demand forecast and technology costs. He indicated that the review would also take account of South Africa's revised emission reduction pledge as outlined in the 2021 update to its Nationally Determined Contribution, which was improved, ahead of COP26, to between 420- and 350-million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030. The lower range of the offer is said to be in line with what would be required from South Africa to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 oC. Mbele refused to be drawn on a date for the publication of the updated IRP, saying only that it would “definitely not take the five years that it took to land the IRP 2019”. In a separate presentation, the DMRE's Thabang Audat said that the goal was to complete the update before the end of 2023. Audat reported that the process would involve three phases and that the first phase, which included an assessment of the current plan, was under way, with the demand assessment having already been completed. The second phase would focus on actions needed to close the supply/demand gap in the short term, while the third would focus on balancing supply and demand in the longer term, with the DMRE having already stated that the new IRP's time horizon would be extended beyond 2030. STACKED SERVICES Eskom's Ronald Marais indicated that the energy plan would need to take account of the fact that the energy services that were traditionally supplied as a bundled offering through conventional technologies such as coal, gas and nuclear would need to be catered for, procured and paid for as more variable renewable energy was introduced. Marais said there was no system requirement for so-called baseload plant, but that the services of peak capacity, dispatched ramping, synchronous power, frequency control and voltage management would still be required. Likening the electricity system to a bakery supplying cakes, Marais explained that a system based on conventional technologies used to supply ready-made cakes of different sizes in the form of baseload, mid-merit ...
Mathew Mayaki, our Guest on Signals Lagos dissected the tech world in the simplest way possible. When asked about product, design, and technology, he stated the easiest way to explain them is problem-solving. He further explains the easiest analogy is similar to building a house, likening the different functions of the architects, builders, and the person who evaluates it. Also, design is typically about understanding users, because nobody wants to solve a problem no one needs. Product engineering means putting all the factors together to solve a problem. Mathew further explains the difference between UI and UX, UI stands for User Interface which is the navigation around the website. On the other hand, UX which means User Experience talks about the flow and sequence of the website or app, and how responsive it may be. Product design is a very long journey and it starts with having a passion for it. A lot of people who fail in this journey do not have a passion for product design, many individuals go into product design simply to make money. Basically, a passion for product design has to be curiosity, asking the right questions about how things are done, this will enable one to forge ahead in the tech space. Likening this process to someone who wants to become a race car driver and hasn't learned how to drive the manual transmission. The fundamentals required to excel in the tech space are to take the basic rules of programming, algorithms, and data structure. Before this, depending on the program, you have to learn the variables and the functions. As an upcoming tech person, Mathew learned Python before learning java, he confesses to Java being difficult because rules have to be followed religiously, adding that if you can learn java, you can learn any other thing in the tech world. Mayaki advises firms in Nigeria not to think of themselves as local champions because Nigeria is a small country compared to others, your software engineer can be with your organization today and be in Germany tomorrow, also the organizations should train their staff as well as they can. He states that Nigerians are in search of greener pastures outside the country, and if there's a healthy workspace, competitive salary, and the loyalty of the individual to the organization. Transitioning from a conventional job to the tech space will be easy because there are various departments where the required skillsets are still required, although there may be a need to take some courses. I feel we have to conclude this with advice from Mathew Mayaki who stipulates that going into tech is not the easiest path, but it is a rewarding one if you put in the work. He also advises students who are affected by ASUU to take a course and learn about coding and product design.

In Episode 107 of The Business Habitat podcast, Sam is joined by business performance specialist Geoffrey Wade for a thought-provoking conversation around the importance of embracing emotions and the merits of employee engagement.From a background in engineering, robotics and computer science, Geoffrey became fascinated by people and in particular how they interacted in the workforce. Likening businesses to cybernetics, Geoffrey refers to the principles of complex systems, with multiple people and stakeholders, often with conflicting goals and drivers.In discussing the human factor, Sam and Geoffrey turn their attention to emotions and the growing understanding that employees cannot be expected to compartmentalise and leave their personal life at home when they come to work. Therefore they note it is necessary for both employees and employers to understand how to deal with emotions and all that they entail, and Geoffrey provides a real life example to clarify the point.The conversation turns to imposter syndrome with Sam and Geoffrey exploring what this means in a practical sense, and whether or not it can be outgrown. Sharing their own experiences, Sam and Geoffrey note that rather than being an uncommon feeling, the perception of feeling inadequate for a particular role is likely experienced by the majority of people as part of the human condition.With Geoffrey's professional focus on business performance and psychological safety, Sam and Geoffrey spend time discussing the merits and pitfalls on employee engagement metrics. Geoffrey quotes significant academic research which sheds light on the role that staff surveys play in the workplace and Sam and Geoffrey explore the drivers which have the most impact on employee satisfaction.Regardless of where you sit in the corporate arena, whether it's as a business owner, employee or senior executive, or are simply a keen observer of human interaction, this episode will provide compelling insight into team dynamics and the evolving nature of the world of work.Here at BlueprintHQ, we are here to help.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Meet Buddha: Masks, Meditations, and Improvised Play to Induce Liberated States SHOW GUEST: Peter Coyote http://petercoyote.com http://answers.network Sharing a series of mindfulness techniques and acting exercises that show how malleable the self can be, award-winning actor, narrator, and Zen Buddhist priest Peter Coyote reveals how to use masks, meditation, and improvisation to free yourself from fixed ideas of who you think you are. They help you release your ego from constant defensive strategizing, calm the mind's over-activity, and allow spontaneous playfulness to arise out of your deepest nature. Peter's new book, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Meet Buddha Masks, Meditation, and Improvised Play to Induce Liberated States, evolved through his 40 years of research and personal study. Coyote's synthesis of mask-based improv games and Zen practices is specifically designed to create an ego-suppressed state, akin to the mystical experiences of meditation or the spiritual awakenings of psychedelics. Peter explains that after a series of preparatory exercises, seeing yourself in a mask will temporarily displace your familiar self and the spirit of the mask will take over. Likening the liberated state induced by mask-work to “Enlightenment-lite,” Coyote draws on Buddhist philosophy to describe how and why the exercises work as well as how to make your newly awakened and confident self-part of daily life. In true Zen form, woven throughout the narrative is a lighthearted parable of an out-of-work Lone Ranger and Tonto, who meet Buddha and experience spiritual awakening. Illuminating the lessons of mask-work, the transformation of the Lone Ranger mirrors that of the individual pursuing this practice, revealing how you will come to realize that the world is more magical and vaster than you thought possible.
Likening the trade deadline to “Christmas morning,” interim head coach Andrew Brunette will finally get to unwrap all of his new presents when the Panthers kick off their three-game swing through Canada with a matchup against the Canadiens at Bell Centre on Thursday.

In a widely shared video, an elegant elderly woman sits in a wheelchair. Once a famed ballet dancer, Marta González Saldaña now suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. But something magical happens when Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake is played to her. As the music builds, her frail hands slowly rise, and as the first trumpets blast she starts performing from her chair. Though her mind and body are perishing, her talent is still there. Reflecting on that video, my thoughts went to Paul’s teaching on resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15. Likening our bodies to a seed that is buried before it sprouts into a plant, he says that though our bodies may perish through age or illness, may be a source of dishonor, and may be wracked with weakness, the bodies of believers will be raised imperishable, full of glory and power (vv. 42–44). Just as there is an organic link between the seed and the plant, we will be “us” after our resurrection, our personalities and talents intact, but we will flourish like never before. When the haunting melody of Swan Lake began to play, Marta at first looked downcast, perhaps mindful of what she once was and could no longer do. But then a man reached over and held her hand. And so it will be for us. Trumpets will blast (v. 52), a hand will reach out to us, and we will rise to dance like never before.

Pure means nondual —like Original Nature:pure impurity.* * *In the last segment we ended with Master Keizan's declaration that the one who meditates becomes the One who is the True Person. He waxes effusive as he describes what this is like:From the first, the wondrous, pure, bright Original Nature immediately appears before one's eyes. One light continuing from the first ultimately becomes fully illuminating.So True Person and Original Nature, both in caps, are interchangeable labels for the true self, the apparent object of our affection in pursuing this seemingly endless effort of zazen. These claims imply an end goal to the practice, something which, once attained, means that our life's work is effectively done. This line is reminiscent of Hakuin Zenji's “Song of Zazen.” In it, he claims, “Nirvana is openly shown to our eyes.” Those scholars and practitioners who refute that there is any transformative experience implied in the teachings of Buddhism have a lot of explaining to do. Nonetheless, we should not be too attached to our own idea of what these descriptions mean. If, for example, something appears before one's own eyes, it must have been there all along. Meditation, and any understanding of what buddha-dharma is pointing to, can not have a material effect on external realities. If these claims and implied promises hold any water, it is because they are already true. Returning to the waves & ocean analogy, Master Keizan continues:The waters of the ocean are all without increase or decrease. Likewise, the waves and billows have no withdrawing or turning back upon themselves. Thus, all Buddhas have appeared in the world for the sake of the Reason for the One Great Matter for which we train. Straightaway, they help sentient beings open up spiritually and see the way to go, that they may awaken and know Buddha.That last being precisely what Keizan Zenji is attempting to do here, helping us to know Buddha. Likening the process to the irresistible surging of the surf as it crashes upon the shore, the impulse and impetus to awakening is thought of as a force of nature — buddha seeking Buddha. Whatever other labels we may choose to self-identify, all are bound to fall short of the mark. The term “buddha,” meaning fully awakened, is the placeholder for what we actually are. That is, the conscious potential to awaken to the truth of existence. Any other term would do as well to attempt to name the unnamable.Keizan goes on:Also, they have a wondrous method which does not entangle or distress or foster defiling passions: it is called “pure meditation.” It is, of course, the samadhi which all Buddhas employ, to their delight, it is also called “the samadhi that is the lord of samadhis.” If even for a little while you reside contented within this samadhi, then straightaway you will open your spiritual eye and clarify what your mind really is. Know well that this is indeed the right gate to Buddhahood.So finally we get around to the method of zazen itself, here defined as “pure” meditation, and we are only mid-page on the second of seven-and-a-half pages of single-spaced text. Keizan Zenji seems much more focused than Master Dogen on the effects of zazen, “pure meditation,” rather than the method. It is advisable to recall that “purity” in Zen has none of the theistic connotations of irredeemable sin and religious morality, but the purity of nonduality versus dualistic thinking. Which Keizan reaffirms in the next few lines, below. Note that the Buddhas “employ” samadhi, as if it is an instrument, or tool, wielded against dualistic thinking. Again, the temptation is to form an image of samadhi, attempt to achieve it, and thereby force the gate to Buddhahood open through sheer exertion of will. But this is doomed to failure as it is another instance of dualistic thinking, as Keizan is quick to remind us:If you are desirous of clarifying what your mind really is, let go of all your deluded, discriminatory knowledge and explanations. Put aside the teachings of the world and the teachings of the Buddha. Cut yourself free from all false and deluding opinions and sentiments. When you manifest the true Nature of the One Reality, the clouds of doubt and delusion that have accumulated will disperse, and the Moon of your Original Nature will once again shine clear and bright.The master goes on in this vein for some time, quoting Buddha to reinforce his point. It should be noted again that all the buddhas and ancestors of Zen's lineage were speaking with one voice. That is, they were all pointing at the same moon, no matter the multiplicity of fingers. The phrase “once again” is revealing, in that the meaning of “refuge” in Buddhism — as in taking refuge in the Three Treasures — has the sense of returning to whence we came. That our “Original Nature will once again shine clear and bright” means that it is always shining, but obscured by our ignorance. Matsuoka Roshi cautioned against expecting some dramatic event, like a lightning bolt out of the sky, but described insight as more like the “clouds parting to reveal the sun.” A majestic, but entirely natural and gentle, slow reveal.In contrast to Fukanzazengi, which stresses almost exclusively the physical dimensions and techniques of the zazen method, Master Keizan expands the scope to include the necessity of developing the kinds of mental, attitudinal frames of mind, based on Buddhism's basic teachings of the five skandhas, the five hindrances of “desire, anger, drowsiness, excitability, and doubt” as arising from ignorance, the first link in the twelvefold chain, and their relation to meditation. We should probably assume that his audience had recourse to Master Dogen's writings, so Keizan's intent is to add his two-cents' worth. He also stresses the importance of recognizing and resisting the monkey mind:Let your mind have no judgmental thoughts and fancies; let your body have no “business to attend to.” This is a primary point to heed, for, when you have brought the causes of your delusory thoughts to an end, the misleading mind will follow suit and become extinguished. When the misleading mind is extinguished, the Immutable Body will manifest, and you will understand and forever know. This is not a teaching of nihilistic annihilation nor is it a teaching of a perpetual personality ever on the move.This reprises, in different terms, Master Dogen's instructions to set aside all everyday concerns and give up even the idea of becoming a Buddha. But the English translation implies that we can bring the “causes of… delusory thoughts to an end,” which we know cannot be done as an intentional act on our part. We might say that when we relinquish our attachment to our own opinions and thoughts, opening up to the neutral, “don't-know mind,” then the monkey will lie down and take a nap. Extinguishing the misleading mind is akin to snuffing out a candle for the time being, which can later be relit. The “Immutable Body,” again capitalized, provides yet another image for the true self, which, once experienced, becomes our new normal, nondual self-identity: Sengcan's “In this world of suchness there is neither self nor other-than-self.” This teaching also transcends the binary choice of either complete annihilation of self, or self-in-perpetuity, the concept of the soul.Restating another of the later stanzas of Sengcan's “Trust in Mind,” where he cautions, “Waste no time in doubts and arguments that have nothing to do with this,” Keizan updates the message:The active pursuit of arts and crafts, medicine, and fortune-telling should all be left far behind. How much more so, singing and dancing, as well as seeking friendships, arguing, playing pranks, or engaging in debates and discussions.He goes on to remonstrate against chasing after fame and fortune, reciting poetry and lyrics of various kinds (while admitting that the latter are, “by nature, the karmic effects of a pure attitude of mind”), even composing literary works, abstaining from all of which “will serve as a fine model for one who would tread the Path; it is what is adequate for a harmonious mind.” Obviously, this is for an audience of monastics, and not lay people, whose very livelihood may depend upon engaging in certain arts and sciences. Various forms of fortune-telling and playing pranks are now staples of the entertainment business. Debate was once a legitimate public method of propagating Buddhism, as in the middle period of Nagarjuna in India, so Keizan is admonishing against the vain discussions, idle chatter, and specious arguments mentioned in the ancient teachings from the Metta Sutta down to the present.After criticizing attachment to either fine clothing and robes or to soiled and tattered versions, each of which represents the poles of ignorance, he cites practical recommendations for maintaining health:Do not neglect taking care of your body's life. Lacking sufficient clothing, food, or sleep is referred to as the three insufficiencies, for each is a cause of regressions and lapses. Also, do not eat any sentient being nor any stale of spoiled food, for they are not pure. … Likewise do not be addicted to fine and fancy foods… you ought to not sit immediately after a large meal… Monks, without fail, should restrain themselves as to the amount of food eaten. “To restrain intake” implies “in relation to your particular body.” Within three parts, eat two parts and leave one.He even mentions that exceptions are granted to these dietary restrictions for medical purposes. Zen is nothing if not practical. Remember that the crowd he was addressing probably consisted of relatively young monks from various family backgrounds. The monastery was partly a kind of finishing school, for smoothing the rough edges of the young wards, unsui in Japanese. Compare to now, when our universities cater to the comfort and demands of the students and their parents. Compare to oryoki style eating, where the small nesting bowls and serving process pays strict attention to the control of portions. “Greed” is mentioned by Keizan, as well as in the Meal Verse, associated with overindulging in food. In our “greed is good” culture — shout out to Gordon Gekko — food is the last thing we would tend to associate with greed. Vast accumulation of wealth, far beyond one's needs, or what is even possible to spend, has become the aspiration of many, and admired by virtually all of the citizenry.After a long aside, Keizan returns to meditation itself, urging his monks to “not lean against fences, walls, partitions, meditation chairs, barriers and the like.” I suppose that this curious admonition probably derives, again, from young novices falling asleep during the long sitting sessions at the monastery, and propping themselves up so as not to fall over. In Japan today, a “chin board” is in use, which has a curved end to place under the chin while sitting, the base of the plank between the legs, so as not to fall over during overnight meditation. I am tempted to build and try one out, myself.Next, Master Keizan walks us through a long litany of various kinds of experiences one may encounter in seated meditation, such as intense heat and cold, feeling heavy and light, et cetera. He cautions that these are the effect of unregulated breathing. Similarly, for afflictions of a mental and emotional sort, such as sinking or floating sensations, seeing Buddha or Bodhisattvas, having “sage opinions” or “penetrating insights” and the like, he dismisses as “illnesses from a disharmony of thoughts and breathing.” Then he reveals some curious “try this” techniques, or sub-routines:Should such an illness occur, focus your mind on your crossed legs as you sit. Should your mind feel dull and depressed, focus the mind on the space between your eyebrows. Should your mind run riot, focus your mind down the ridge of your nose onto the tanden. Normally, when sitting, you should quietly focus your mind on the palm of your left hand. Then, should you sit for a long time, even though you do not force your mind to be focused, the mind will not of itself wander off.Here is some gonzo oxherding in detail. Matsuoka Roshi mentioned focusing your attention on the forehead or the knees, depending on whether you feel dizzy or nauseous, respectively. This tells you that you will, at some point, feel dizzy or nauseous, or experience the things that Master Keizan, as well as the Buddha himself, in the Surangama Sutra, point out. These are emails and texting from the Original Frontier, from those who blazed the trails. We could do worse than listen up. Like the ox, Keizan is assuring us that the mind will eventually take care of itself, with no need for intervention on our part.Reading and reciting scriptures is thrown into the mix of things to avoid overdoing, reprising Dogen. One of the most curious and, in a way, quaint, admonitions deals with inappropriate environments:Do not by any means do sitting meditation during fires, floods, windstorms, or robberies, nor at the beach, in wineshops or brothels, in the houses of widows, or in the presence of female entertainers.This conjures quite a picture of the interface of his monastics with the society of the times. It is not too far from a description of the kinds of crises and seductions prevalent today. I think the message is to avoid those situations not conducive to meditation, as well as not to resort to meditation as an escape. Master Keizan seems intent upon striking the middle way between all sorts of competing dualities. He goes on to include Dogen's pushback against overreaching formality or complexity in general:Although participating in massive Buddhist Services and working on huge construction projects are, by and large, fine activities, they are impracticable for those devoted to seated meditation. Also, do not foster a voice for voicing the Dharma or for teaching others how to turn their hearts around, for these things are subject to scattered minds and disordered thoughts. Do not encourage a delight in being in crowds or long to seek for disciples. Do not become involved with too many activities or too many studies.This last line reflects Master Dogen's take on doing one thing, rather than many, the modern trope expressed as drilling one deep well rather than many shallow ones in order to find water. You really have to wonder if the prepositional phrase, “by and large” was really in use during Keizan's time, or if it is an example of creative translation. Large construction projects is a giveaway that the master is saying “do as I say and not as I do,” as he is credited with establishing monasteries, which involved heavy construction. We have visited several of these monumental examples of architecture from a period in which only hand tools were available, and none of the heavy equipment we take for granted today. We have also witnessed a few of what I consider massive Buddhist services, e.g. at Eiheiji, Dogen's final stomping grounds.The bit about assuming you are the voice of the Dharma, and overweening devotion to the notion that you are someone else's teacher, is again characteristic of Dogen's message as well. You may find it ironic, or even hypocritical, that Keizan would be admonishing fostering “a voice for voicing the Dharma or for teaching others” when that is precisely what he is doing here. I am further exacerbating the dilemma by adding commentary. There is no way our of this particular koan. It is built into consciousness itself, and the dichotomy is built into language. It should be mentioned that the hankering for large crowds of like-thinking people to bolster your own commitment to the practice is a syndrome that has survived to the present day. If your practice depends upon the presence of others, it is not yet genuine practice. Buddha comes before Dharma comes before Sangha, with its social seductions, including a concomitant complexity of ritual, at least in terms of the central focus of Soto Zen.We will leave Keizan here for now, returning in the next segment as he himself returns to more specifics on zazen itself. He vacillates from practical, mundane commentary on the details of zazen to flowery descriptions of its effects, to more practical advice on how to conduct yourself in daily life, and back to more on the meditation method. As we say in Zen, it's all connected. Keizan weaves a complex web.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Last week we introduced a series that studies the tabernacle as a model for prayer. Brother Starks gave an overview of the elements of the tabernacle and discussed the entrance to the outer court. Tonight we turn our attention to the outer court and the items found there. There are two pieces of furniture in the outer court. Their purpose is to prepare the priest for what goes on in the holiest place. The alter was there to offer a sacrifice for sin. Likening this to prayer, we have to offer our sins on the altar to receive forgiveness. After the altar, there is the brazen laver where the priests would wash from the messy work at the alter. After we offer our sin on the alter, we have to clean ourselves. Brother Starks describes that the cleansing happens with the word of God. By memorizing and meditating on the word of God, we allow it to take up room in our hearts and push out those things that make us unclean.

Today, I want to talk about how God keeps His promises. The scriptures are full of evidence that God keeps His promises. When He tells people that if they keep His commandments they will have blessings and peace and they keep His commandments He blesses them with peace and prosperity. When He tells people that if they do not repent that they will be destroyed and they don't repent, they get destroyed. There's a verse in the Book of Mormon that teaches that we can liken all the stories in the scriptures to ourselves. If we follow the people in the scriptures and do the things they do, we can claim the promised blessings that they received. God is fair that way.Likening the scripture to ourselves (The Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 19:22-23) 22 Now it came to pass that I, Nephi, did teach my brethren these things; and it came to pass that I did read many things to them, which were engraven upon the plates of brass, that they might know concerning the doings of the Lord in other lands, among people of old.23 And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning.Scripture verses:3 Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might—4 Lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, proclaiming the truth according to the revelations and commandments which I have given you.5 And thus, if ye are faithful ye shall be laden with many sheaves, and crowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life. (Doctrine & Covenants 75:3-5)19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.

Ep #23 Likening The Scriptures Unto Yourself with Storytelling & Songs" with Karyn Lynn Grant As we read the scriptures, we can do more than simply let our eyes scan the words that travel across the pages; we can let those words become messages that sink into the depths of our souls. We can liken them unto ourselves. As Karyn discovered her passion for her early morning scripture study, at age fifteen, her passion grew into a time for "scripting" sweet journal entries where she envisioned and imagined how each woman might have felt; as she put herself into each setting found in ancient days. One by one the stories and songs were written... "About My Father's Business" Story and Song #1 - Beginning with Mary's experience with fearing she had lost her son, Jesus, Karyn visualized what it might have been like for Mary, the Mother of Jesus, when he said to her, "Mother, wist ye not that I shall be "About my Father's Business"? Question: Who can better understand our hearts than Mary, the Mother of Jesus, when we fear we have lost a child to death, to sin or to the sorrows of this world? "Child of Truth" Story & Song #2, In the next portion of this podcast, Karyn further shares what Mary, the Mother of Jesus might have been felt as she stood at the edge of the River Jordan at the time of the Savior's baptism. Karyn shares her visualization of what Mary might have felt, in storytelling and song, in her ponderings she has entitled, "Child of Truth". Question: What joy might a nameless woman have felt on her baptism day, being born into the kingdom while following the Savior's example into those waters? "In the Wilderness", Song & Story #3, Karyn envisions what Mary might have felt and expressed pertaining to her Son's ability to "Be of Good Cheer" while overcoming the world and receiving the grace and strength to follow in His footsteps along the path of Salvation while overcoming temptation. "In His Loving Arms", Song & Story #4, Karyn ponders what any nameless woman, in Ancient Days, might have felt who may have struggled alone to climb the hill that led to Jesus' sermon on the mount while carrying her baby and shepherding her other little ones... (written during Karyn's experience as a single mother.) Question: How can I show greater trust in the Lord as I place my child (children) in His loving arms when it is difficult for me to trust that their Father in Heaven knows best. "Sermon on the Mount", Story and Song #5 ,Karyn meditates on the lone and nameless woman who immersed herself in the Savior's love while drinking in the beatitudes on the mount where He spoke sermons to the multitude. What might she have felt if she were doing all within her power to follow Him while carrying a silent burden buried in her heart.... Question: How would it feel to take my own silent burden to the Lord and drink in His peace and promise --- knowing that I am doing all in my power to love Him with all my heart, might, mind and strength during times of personal trial and affliction? "Love Your Enemy", Story and Song #6 becomes a guided visualization for the nameless woman who may have knelt at the foot of His cross and learned by His merciful example, how to love and forgive her enemy. Question: How can I offer my broken heart to the Lord and ask Him to bless me with the miracle of forgiveness; for my own mistakes, follies and errors in judgments and for those of the one "knows not what he does"? Remembering the Savior's words upon the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do..." can bring the sweetest release for any soul suffering from the hurtful actions, words or deeds of another. "Trim Your Lamp" Story & Song #7 - Karyn reflects upon her own times of neglecting her scripture study and the sorrow that brought her heart and the joy of keeping her personal divine appointment with the Lord each morning. Experiencing times of neglect has only further substantiated in Karyn's life, her personal need to "Seek the Lord early while He may be found.". Question: How can I do better in keeping my divine appointment with the Lord so that I can continually "trim my lamp" with the oil of joy and gladness? "The Morning Light" - Story & Song #8 - Visualize yourself as the woman in this song. Imagine what it might feel like to rise up early in the morning to seek the Lord's spirit at the start of each new day. How would it bless other's along the way? Question: What joy might it bring, what peace to one's heart, what comfort to one's soul might be afforded if the practice of a "Daily Divine Appointment" could be devotedly kept with the Lord each new morning? "He is My Savior Too" - Story & Song #9 - Letting this message into your heart can bless your heart as you fully embrace the realization that the Savior's love belongs to you. He is your Savior too! Question: What love, joy and peace could I possibly feel in deeper measure if I allowed myself to more fully receive the gift of the Savior's infinite love for me too? How might it bless my life to receive the Gift of His Atonement in my behalf rather than deny the Giver the Joy of bestowing His Gift of Mercy to me?

The common narrative of Neanderthals is that they were a group of dullard losers whose extinction 40,000 years ago was due to smarter competition and a little of interbreeding with our own forebears. Likening someone to a Neanderthal was and, most likely, still is a top-rate anthropological insult. But, in the past few decades, Neanderthal finds have greatly contradicted our perception of the species. In Kindred, Rebecca Wragg Sykes combs through the avalanche of scientific discoveries of the species and uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Paleolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. They ranged across vast tracts of tundra and steppe, but also stalked in dappled forests and waded in the Mediterranean Sea. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. Shermer and Sykes also discuss: the nature of species and if Neanderthals and Homo sapiens are one or two species, the deep time span of Neanderthals, the wide geography of Neanderthals, how archaeologists work today to discern Neanderthal lives and minds, Neanderthal DNA and what we have learned from it, Neanderthal bodies, Neanderthal brains and minds, Neanderthal tools and what they tell us about their lives, Neanderthal hunting/caloric needs, Neanderthal art, Neanderthal sex and love and social lives, Neanderthal death, burial, afterlife beliefs, and possible religious beliefs, and extinction: what happened to the Neanderthals? Rebecca Wragg Sykes has been fascinated by the vanished worlds of the Pleistocene ice ages since childhood, and followed this interest through a career researching the most enigmatic characters of all, the Neanderthals. After a Ph.D. on the last Neanderthals living in Britain, she worked in France at the world-famous PACEA laboratory, Université de Bordeaux, on topics ranging from Neanderthal landscapes and territories in the Massif Central region of south-east France, to examining how they were the first ancient humans to produce a synthetic material and tools made of multiple parts. Alongside her academic activities, she has also earned a reputation for exceptional public engagement. The public can follow her research through a personal blog and Twitter account, and she frequently writes for the popular media, including the Scientific American and Guardian science blogs. Becky is passionate about sharing the privileged access scientists have to fascinating discoveries about the Neanderthals. She is also co-founder of the influential Trowelblazers project, which highlights women archaeologists, palaeontologists and geologists through innovative outreach and collaboration.

What energy do your social posts give off? Cold oatmeal? Junk mail? The ‘meh' of an empty toilet paper roll? If your social posts are uninspired, Suzanne Longstreet, mindset and success coach, Emma O'Brien, brand strategist and messaging expert, and Michelle Tresemer, whole systems digital marketing coach, strategist, and consultant, get to the root of the problem. The mavens of marketing talk about expected outcomes when you write social media from a mindset devoid of enthusiasm. And they've got advice on how to reach out to your target audience from a swirl of energy and enthusiasm. Likening these two states to vacuum or vortex, today's conversation examines the visibility mindset, how to manage spells of low energy, how to ensure your energy conveys that you give a shit, and how to maintain your love for your clients in a language they understand when you outsource social media. Today's episode begs the question, “what energy does your social media send out into the world?” Pull on a pair of ear buds and let's tap into your vortex energy!
This is a great question, but the line is a little fuzzy sometimes - hopefully this helps. Make sure to listen to the end, I think it gets clearer as I go.
This episode is more than just your average discussion on setting goals and having a positive mindset. This one blows the roof on what is possible if you set your mind to it and have a strong enough ‘why?’ Introduced to each other through social media, Kate discusses her life, it’s traumatic events and how being defined by other’s expectations of her was never going to be a healthy route to take. Likening her awakening to the advice you get from the doctor telling you something has to change, Kate gave herself the ‘life chat’ and decided to take 100% responsibility and charge full steam ahead with her mission and passions. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Kate has been an age-group world champion at triathlon, but her next event is going to be a world’s first. Not your standard swim, bike and run. Not even multiple Ironman races. This one is the biggie! A swim of the English Channel; a bike from coast to coast in the USA; and the ‘run’ a summit of Everest!

23-year-old cultural activist Kamil Oshundara invites you to judge her by her cover. An open book when it comes to expressing herself, Kamil’s body is her altar and she is continually designing it as a means of altering perceptions and making it clear that she is her own person and not anyone’s product. With a rage that is love, Kamil’s authentic tattoos, markings, jewelry, and piercings, honor the richness of indigeneity, her Yoruba religion, her ancestry, gender fluidity and a “don’tmess” confrontation with Western beauty standards. A spoken wordsmith, queer curator, and cultural exec at Monkeypaw Productions (‘Get Out’ and ‘Blackkklansman’), Kamil’s life is her art. Likening herself to a tree with her emerald green hair as the canopy, her brown skin as the bark, her feet planted on the ground as her roots, and her strong branches that cannot break, Kamil knows who she is. “A lot of people say, ‘don't judge a book by its cover.’ It’s a very popular saying but I always say that I design my cover to be read very intentionally. I want you to be able to get a pretty good sense of me. I'm very comfortable with writing on my walls and revealing myself. Showing is radical. I'm never trying to hide. You can't unsee me. I’m here.”
Episode 40 is an episode where listeners called in to share their insights about how they are using the Come Follow Me curriculum in their homes. The women who called in all share different approaches to using the new curriculum. Ultimately, they all emphasize how simple and consistent gospel teaching is blessing their families. Do What Works For Your Family I love how each person’s response was a little different but all had the same overarching theme of the blessings of teaching their families the gospel. They all are following the promptings they have received and are doing what works for their family. I hope hearing what others are doing and how they are implementing Come Follow Me will not cause you to compare. Hopefully, this episode will inspire you to listen to the Holy Ghost and then do what you feel prompted to do for your family. Seek The Holy Ghost as a Guide I love this quote found on the first page of the Come Follow Me manual for individuals and families: “…in our efforts to live, learn, and teach the gospel, we should first and foremost seek the companionship of the Spirit. This goal should govern our choices and guide our thoughts and actions. We should seek after whatever invites the influence of the Spirit and reject whatever drives that influence away–for we know that if we can be worthy of the presence of the Holy Ghost, we can also be worthy to live in the presence of Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ.” Conversion is our goal and the way to do that is to use the Holy Ghost as a guide. If you feel an impression to present a lesson or teach something a certain way, do it. Even if it’s not what someone else is doing. Simplicity The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple. One person who commented on my post on Instagram about Come Follow Me pointed out the phrase in the hymn Come Follow Me: “Come follow me, a simple phrase.” I love that. Keep it simple and let the Spirit guide you. Consistency Consistency is a key element of teaching in the home. In the episode, I referenced a talk by Elder David A Bednar from October 2009 called More Diligent and Concerned at Home. In this talk Elder Bednar shared the struggles his own family faced to hold family prayer, family home evening and scripture study. I love what he said about consistency: Sister Bednar and I thought helping our sons understand the content of a particular lesson or a specific scripture was the ultimate outcome. But such a result does not occur each time we study or pray or learn together. The consistency of our intent and work was perhaps the greatest lesson—a lesson we did not fully appreciate at the time. Listener Insights Here’s a recap of what the four listeners said: Sophie Increased comprehension Repetition and repeating things Use Christian resources Use Bible videos and other lesson helps on lds.org Slow down and get to the heart Heather Find a time that works for your family Less actual scripture reading and more discussion about what was read Let children talk the most Come Follow Me is about connection Likening what we learn to ourselves Teenagers will open up Robin Uses a bookmark she makes to break up the weekly, personal study For older children: shares what she is learning during the week in her personal study by emailing talks and articles For younger children: uses the primary manual Not adding or supplementing except through church sources Ashley Keep it simple with coloring, walks, etc. Talk as a family Ask questions Have a conversation at children’s level of understanding Pray specifically for the blessings promised by President Russell M. Nelson in this quote: “The new home-centered, Church-supported integrated curriculum has the potential to unleash the power of families, as each family follows through conscientiously and carefully to transform their home into a sanctuary of faith. I promise that as you diligently work to remodel your home into a center of gospel learning, over time your Sabbath days will truly be a delight. Your children will be excited to learn and to live the Savior’s teachings, and the influence of the adversary in your life and in your home will decrease. Changes in your family will be dramatic and sustaining.” Show Notes Conference talks about Simple + Consistent Gospel Teaching Elder David A.

Robert Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for The Washington Post. He is also the author of The Return of History and the End of Dreams, Dangerous Nation, Of Paradise and Power, and A Twilight Struggle. He served in the U.S. State Department from 1984 to 1988. His latest book, The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our Imperiled World (Knopf, 2018), is a review of American foreign policy in the twentieth century and an argument regarding how that history should be understood by current policy-makers. Kagan contends that not only was the twentieth century an “American century” in the sense of American foreign supremacy, but it was an unusual aberration in world history. Likening international affairs to a jungle, he argues that the U.S. cleared and curated a peaceful garden through its role as a guarantor of economic and military stability, its advocacy for democracy, and its containment of communism. Accordingly, he contends, any American withdrawal from this role in the 21st century will result in the normal, fearful, power-politics of the jungle growing back, which will have deleterious consequences not only for America but for the entire globe. Kagan notes that one of the supreme achievements of the United States was not only protecting Western Europe and much of Asia from expansionist communist states, but also the reform and pacification of formers enemies Germany and Japan. Kagan’s is a challenging and provocative argument and is an important addition to the debate over what was and should be America’s role in world affairs. Ian J. Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. His scholarly interests include American legal and constitutional history and political theory.

Kagan’s is a challenging and provocative argument and is an important addition to the debate over what was and should be America’s role in world affairs. Ian J.

Robert Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for The Washington Post. He is also the author of The Return of History and the End of Dreams, Dangerous Nation, Of Paradise and Power, and A Twilight Struggle. He served in the U.S. State Department from 1984 to 1988. His latest book, The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our Imperiled World (Knopf, 2018), is a review of American foreign policy in the twentieth century and an argument regarding how that history should be understood by current policy-makers. Kagan contends that not only was the twentieth century an “American century” in the sense of American foreign supremacy, but it was an unusual aberration in world history. Likening international affairs to a jungle, he argues that the U.S. cleared and curated a peaceful garden through its role as a guarantor of economic and military stability, its advocacy for democracy, and its containment of communism.

A welcome explanation of what it truly means to seek refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Likening refuge to the Buddhist concept of ‘Bright Faith’, Sharon describes the power of possibility in keeping our spirits alive and moving. When our sense of limitation shifts from an absolute truth to a simple mental construct, we begin to see the light beneath the door. In revolutionizing our relationship to ourselves we affirm our own ability to bring faith, hope, and understanding to any situation.
I first talked about Jan Markell's sensational, pretrib, annual, Bible prophecy conference. It represents the typical pretrib conference that is not very helpful for people to learn about Bible prophecy. Second, I played a clip of pretrib teacher Dr. Ed Hindson from last year's Markell's conference. It was full of rhetoric claiming that prewrath teaching […] Related Posts: Peter on the DELAY of Jesus's Coming, and a Biblical… Q & A of the 2019 Fall Prophecy Conference at… A Reply to Two Common Pretrib Proof Texts (James… The post A Reply to Jan Markell's “Understanding the Times” Prophecy Conference and Ed Hindson Likening Prewrath to Beating Your Wife – Ep. 45 appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.
This week’s podcast argues that, despite our best intentions, a multi-sport curriculum is not capable of achieving the aims and aspirations we have for physical education. Likening the multi-sport approach to a chocolate teapot it shows that despite our best intentions and significant efforts the approach cannot stand up against the heat of competition and the weight of expectations – it simply isn’t built the right way. In concluding the podcast shows how models like Sport for Peace are better vehicles for learning in and through physical education.

Social sites it should be a matter of common sence, if you post content you relinquish ownership in some cases. If however you store content on a site specifically designed for content storage and or backup then that site should be held responsible. For sites like email then you use their service in good faith that they can keep your account safe, so yes they should be held responsible also. All financial or personal data sites like medical info should also be held responsible. If you download something for free, buy something from an unknown app developer, or use opensource software then you can only blaim yourself should anything happen. Likening this to the lemonade thing, if you buy little susies lemonade its something usually made by a child so you are accepting the risk of getting sick, its common sence. If however you go to a fast food or reseraunt and buy a soda or something then its supposed to be a drink from a reputable source and your buying it in good faith that it wont make you sick, and therfore the resteraunt or fast foos place should be held responsible. Its basically common sence law.Sorry about the spelling, my tablet doesn't seem to have, or I can' find the spell checker. I have auto correct off cause it was driving me nuts.
