Beloved,For too long, many of us have lived under the shadow of what I call "the matrix"—a system engineered to make us feel a profound scarcity of power. It tells us our biggest dreams are just pipe dreams, too massive to grasp. Perhaps you've even had those daunting thoughts: What if I succeed so much I lose control? What if I outgrow everyone I know? Let me be clear: these aren't limitations. They are powerful invitations beckoning you to step fully into your authentic power. The real truth is transformative: your dreams aren't too big.They are simply calling for an expansion of your current capacity, and this isn't a deficiency. It's an unparalleled opportunity. You, in your deepest essence—your consciousness and awareness—are already aligned with the infinite power of Mother Nature, God, the universe itself. You know what you're effortlessly capable of today, but when you measure your dream against who you are right now, you're measuring against your current limits.Imagine walking into a gym and seeing a 350 pound weight.You don't just stare at it and say, can I lift that now and then walk away when the answer's no?That's what most people do with their dreams.They see the gap and give up.But you, you're different.You start small, five pounds, 10 pounds, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60.Day by day you get stronger.The weights don't get lighter, you get stronger, and here's the magic.One day, you're not just lifting that 350 pound weight, you're lifting a piano, you're holding the door open in a hurricane, you're pulling someone out of a sinkhole.That strength you built, it's not just for one goal, it's a transferable skill.When you work on yourself, you don't just solve one problem, you rise to a whole new level of capacity.You become wiser, stronger, more capable.Not just for one challenge, but for life.This isn't whack-a-mole one problem, one solution.It's about becoming a person whose frequency is bigger than the problem.Let's talk about that frequency for a second.Your energetic match, your mindset, your confidence, your skills.It's what aligns you with your dreams.Think of a newborn baby from day one to age one.They're in hyper growth mode.They don't know what risk means.They're grabbing, eating, trying to walk, talk, doing whatever it takes to grow.That's exponential change.Now, compared that to a typical 45-year-old from 45 to 46, their growth curve pretty flat.Why?Because most people need a reason to grow, but not you.If you are here, you're a maverick, you feel that itch for the next level, more clients.A business milestone, a vision that lights you up.That's not normal.That's extraordinary.Even a fear, doubt or identity issues bury that maverick spark under a pile of rubble.It's still there dreaming, desiring waiting.So how do you break free from just wanting your dream to having it?You become the person who can hold it.You raise your frequency, you build your strength step by step.And here's the kicker.Your growth isn't linear.It's compounded every small win.Every five pound weight, you lift builds on the left.By the time you achieve your dream, you're not just a slightly better version of yourself.You're a transformed version capable of things you can't even imagine today.Let me leave you with this.Your maverick identity is your superpower.It's the part of you that dares to dream bigger.To grow faster, to rise higher.Don't let the size of your dream scare you.Start where you are.Lift the five pound weight today.Trust that every step is building a strength that will carry you far beyond that 350 pound goal.You're not just chasing a dream, you're becoming the person who can live it.So go out there, embrace the journey, and unleash your maverick potential.Pause.Smile and nod.The world is waiting.Love you!

Mysterious holes suddenly popping up on the field, leaving players and fans scratching their heads. It's like Mother Nature decided to play a prank on the pitch! But that's not all – did you know that a football once survived a space mission? Yep, an astronaut kicked it on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission. Oh, and back on Earth, there's a team in Greenland that plays on an all-ice field. Sports is full of quirky tales, from mystery holes to moon kicks – the unexpected is always part of the game. ⚽
This week on the Mark Levin Show, there's a fake MAGA faction within conservatism that harbors dangerous ideologies, including affinities for Hitler sympathizers and antisemitic rhetoric. Darryl Cooper promotes revisionist history, such as portraying Churchill as a villain and Hitler as misunderstood. Later, the big, beautiful bill is not perfect, but it's pretty good. Republicans didn't have enough votes to cut anymore. Democrats are trying to tell you there are Medicaid cuts. No, it's cutting off people who shouldn't be getting Medicaid. The Texas flood has caused immense heartbreak, with over 100 dead and more than 160 missing. Among the tragic stories are two young sisters, aged 13 and 11, found drowned but holding hands. Mother Nature can be a monster. Also, President Trump has had enough of Putin. Putin is a genocidal maniac responsible for slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, but there are some in Fake MAGA who root for Russia. Lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible.

Tamara White always has one eye on the skies. Whether she's getting her sheep ready for shearing, welcoming visitors to classes and events on the farm, or watching over the yarn in kettles of natural dye, there isn't a moment when the weather isn't on her mind. Although rain and heat make hard work of tending a flock of 100+ sheep plus calves, chickens, and other livestock, Tammy sees her work as a collaboration with Mother Nature. Most yarn production farms consist of hundreds of animals of a single breed, enough to produce consistent batches of single-breed yarn. Tammy's way is more difficult, but more fun. In addition to her original small group of Shetlands, she has an evolving mix of breeds: sometimes Clun Forest, sometimes Teeswater, and most recently Valais Blacknose, a recent Swiss import dubbed the “world's cutest sheep.” Wing & A Prayer Farm's yarn line includes a number of fiber blends, not only to incorporate the farm's different wools but also to bring the best traits of various breeds together. Creating yarns this way also invites collaboration with other shepherds and a number of small mills to whom she trusts her batch of wool. The collaboration with nature continues in dyeing the yarn. A self-taught dyer, Tammy creates as many colors as she can with plants that she can grow in her garden or forage on her property. To support her farm and community, Tammy takes on a wide range of other projects: making soap and pies, selling eggs, hosting classes, and selling breeding stock to other shepherds. It's an enormous amount of work, but Tammy talks about her farm with such joy that it hardly sounds like a chore.

SHOW NOTES: This hour, we're focusing on eco-friendly home improvements and design tips to help your money pit and Mother Nature, especially as we've just experienced a significant heatwave across the US. We're exploring how to save some green while going green this summer, with easy, affordable projects that can shrink your energy bills, cut back on waste, and help the planet. Here's a look at the topics and calls we'll cover: - Attic Upgrades: Your attic can either work for you or against you in the summer. We're sharing smart attic upgrades to keep your home cooler, cut energy costs, and protect your home from summer's worst side effects. - Strategic Landscaping for Cooling: You can cool your home without touching the thermostat by letting nature do the work. We discuss how strategic landscaping, such as planting shade trees, can naturally reduce heat and energy bills while giving your yard a green upgrade. - Eco-Friendly Design and DIY Projects: We're all about eco-friendly home upgrades that benefit both the planet and your wallet. Q & A: - Mike from Alaska called in with a question about an upstairs window that leaks when it rains, noting drips from the soffits. We discussed potential causes, including backed-up gutters, failed sealant, or improper flashing. - Susan from California asked about options for her 38-year-old asphalt driveway that needs to be redone, but she doesn't want to resurface with blacktop. - Mark has a beautiful log cabin home that hasn't been stained in 8 years and is fading. We advise him on the process of cleaning the raw lumber, letting it dry, and then choosing a stain that includes UV protection. - Ed is dealing with a serious issue with his 1880s Victorian home's brick foundation, where the bottom layer of bricks is starting to bow out. For such a critical structural concern, we strongly recommend consulting a structural engineer to diagnose the problem. - Darlene from Texas has a flagstone patio with uneven stones and nothing between the cracks. - Carl from Massachusetts emailed us about a foul odor coming from his newly installed dishwasher. This is often due to bio-gas buildup, and we have tips on how to clean those trouble spots. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,The 1990s and the dawn of the internet were a pivotal time for America and the wider world. The history of human progress is a series of such pivotal moments. As Peter Leyden points out, it seems we're facing another defining era as society wrestles with three new key technologies: artificial intelligence, clean energy, and bioengineering.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Leyden about American leadership in emerging technology and the mindset shifts we must undergo to bring about the future we dream of.Leyden is a futurist and technology expert. He is a speaker, author, and founder of Reinvent Futures. Thirty years ago, he worked with the founders of WIRED magazine, and now authors his latest book project via Substack: The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050.In This Episode* Eras of transformation (1:38)* American risk tolerance (11:15)* Facing AI pessimism (15:38)* The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)* Demographic pressure (28:52)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Eras of transformation (1:38)I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase . . .Pethokoukis: Since World War II, as I see it, we have twice been on the verge of a transformational leap forward, economically and technologically. I would say that was right around 1970 and then right around 2000, and the periods of time after that, I think, certainly relative to the expectations then, was disappointing.It is my hope, and I know it's your hope as well, that we are at another such moment of transformation. One, do you accept my general premise, and two, why are we going to get it right this time?If I'm hearing you right, you're kind of making two junctures there. I do believe we're in the beginning of what would be much more thought of as a transformation. I would say the most direct parallel is closer to what happened coming off of World War II. I also think, if you really go back in American history, it's what came off of Civil War and even came off of the Founding Era. I think there's a lot of parallels there I can go into, I've written about in my Substack and it's part of the next book I'm writing, so there's a bigger way that I think about it. I think both those times that you're referring to, it seems to me we were coming off a boom, or what seemed to be an updraft or your “Up Wing” kind of periods that you think of — and then we didn't.I guess I think of it this way: the '50s, '60s, and '90s were exciting times that made it feel like the best was yet to come — but then that momentum stalled. I'm hopeful we're entering another such moment now, with so much happening, so much in motion, and I just hope it all comes together.The way I think about it in a bigger lens, I would just push back a little bit, which is, it's true coming off the '90s — I was at WIRED magazine in the '90s. I was watching the early '90s internet and the Digital Revolution and I sketched out at that time, in my first book but also cover stories in WIRED, trying to rough out what would happen by the year 2020. And it is true that coming off the '90s there was a Dot Com crash, but temporarily, honestly, that with the Web 2.0 and others, a lot of those trends we were talking about in the '90s actually just kept picking up.So depending how big the lens is, I would argue that, coming off the '90s, the full digital revolution and the full globalization that we were starting to see in the early to mid-'90s in some respects did come to fruition. It didn't play out the way we all wanted it to happen — spreading wealth all through the society and blah, blah, blah, and many of the things that people complain about and react to now — but I would argue that a lot of what we were saying in those '90s, and had begun in the '90s with the '90s boom, continued after a temporary pause, for sure.The Dot Com boom was just frothy investment. It crashed, but the companies that come out of that crash are literally trillion-dollar companies dominating the global economy now here on the west coast. That was some of the things we could see happening from the mid-'90s. The world did get connected through the internet, and globalization did, from a lens that's beyond America, we took 800 million peasants living on two bucks a day in China and brought them into the global economy. There's all kinds of positive things of what happened in the last 25 years, depending on how big your lens is.I would say that we've been through a largely successful — clearly some issues, “Oh my gosh, we didn't anticipate social media and that stuff,” but in general, the world that we were actually starting to envision in the '90s came about, at some level — with some flaws, and some issues, and we could have done better, but I'm saying now I think AI is bigger than the internet. I think the idea that humans are now working side-by-side with intelligent machines and being augmented by intelligent machines is a world historical event that is going to go beyond just connecting everybody on the planet through the internet, which is kind of what the '90s was, and the early Digital Revolution.This is a bigger deal, and I do think this transformation has the potential to be way bigger too. If we manage it right — including how we did it positively or negatively in the last 25, 30 years off the '90s — if we do this right, we could really pull off what I think is a reinvention of America and a much better world going beyond this. That's not a prediction that we're going to do that, but I think we certainly have the potential there.While I was preparing for our chat, I recalled a podcast I did with Marc Andreessen where we discussed AI — not just its potential to solve big problems and drive progress, but also about the obstacles, especially regulatory ones. He pointed out that those barriers are why we don't have things like widespread nuclear power, let alone fusion reactors.When I asked why he thought we could overcome those barriers this time around, he said we probably won't — that failure should be the baseline because these obstacles are deeply rooted in a risk-averse American society. Now, why isn't that your baseline?My baseline is that America — again, I'm taking a bigger lens here, which is we periodically come to these junctures in history in which you could say, from left and right, there's kind of an ossification of the old system. What happens is the old ways of doing things, the old systems, essentially get kind of stuck, and ossified, and just defunct, and long in the tooth, and all different ways you can describe it. But what happens at these junctures — and it happened coming off World War II, it happened after the Civil War, I happened after in the Founding Era too, coming off the colonial world — there is an incredible period of explosion of progress, essentially, and they usually are about 25 years, which is why I'm thinking about the next 25 years.I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase that, frankly, is beyond Europe now. The great hope of the West is still going to be America here. But I think we're actually entering it and I think this is what's happening, and . . . I've read your book, The Conservative Futurist, I would call myself more of a “Progressive Futurist,” but I would say both left and right in this country have gone too extreme. The right is critiquing “government can't do anything right,” and the left is critiquing “the market, corporations can't do anything right.”The actual American framework is the Hamiltonian government, coming off Lincoln's government, the FDR government. There is a role for government, a vigorous kind of government presence that can drive change, but there's also a great role for the market too.There's this center left and center right that has now got to recalibrate for this next era of America. I think because the old system — and from the right, the old system might be big bureaucratic government that was born out of World War II, the great welfare state bureaucracies, also the Pax Americana. Trump is kind of banging against, dismantling that old thing that's been going for 80 years and, frankly, is kind of run out of steam. It's not really working. But the left is also coming out, carbon energy, and drilling for oil, and industrial pollution, and all that other stuff that was coming off of that scaling of the 20th century economy is also not working for the 21st century. We've also got to dismantle those systems. But together, looking forward, you could imagine a complete reinvention around these new technologies. AI is a huge one. Without question, the first among equals it's going to be the game changer around every field, every industry.Also clean energy technologies, I would argue, are just hitting the point of tipping points of scale that we could imagine a shift in the energy foundation. We could see abundant clean energy, including nuclear. I think there's a new re-appreciation of nuclear coming even from left-of-center, but also potential fusion on the horizon.I also think bioengineering is something that we haven't really got our heads into, but in terms of the long-term health of the planet, and all kinds of synthetic biology, and all kinds of things that are happening, we are now past the tipping point, and we know how to do this.I think there's three world historic technologies that America could get reinvented around in the next 25 years. I think the old system, left and right, is now done with this old thing that isn't working, but that opens up the potential for the future. So yes, what Andreessen's talking about is the late stage of the last gummed-up system that wasn't working. For that matter, the same thing from the left is complaining about the inequality, and the old system isn't working now the way it was, circulating wealth through society. But I think there's a way to reinvent that and I actually think we're on the verge of doing it, and that's what I'm trying to do for my project, my book, my Substack stuff.American risk tolerance (11:15)I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. Do you feel that there's enough ferment happening that, institutionally, there will be enough space for these technologies to flourish as you hope? That the first time that there's a problem with an AI model where people die because some system failed, we're not going to be like, “We need to pause AI.” That the next time with one of these restarted nuclear reactors, if there's some minor problem, we're not going to suddenly panic and say, “That's it, nuclear is gone again.” Do you think we have that kind of societal resilience to deal? I think we've had too little of that, but do you think there's enough now, for the reasons you're talking about, that we will continue to push forward?I think there's absolutely the chance that can happen. Now, like Andreessen said, it's not a prediction like, “Oh, this will be fine, it's all going to work out.” We could also go the way of Europe, which is we could get over-regulated, over-ossified, go back to the old days, be this nice tourist spot that, whatever, we look at our old buildings and stuff and we figure out a way to earn a living, but it's just getting more and more and more in the past. That's also a possibility, and I suppose if you had to bet, maybe that's the greater possibility, in default.But I don't think that's going to happen because I do believe more in America. I'm also living in Northern California here. I'm surrounded for the last 30 years, people are just jam packed with new ideas. There's all kinds of s**t happening here. It's just an explosive moment right now. We are attracting the best and the brightest from all over the country, all over the world. There is no other place in the world, bar none, around AI than San Francisco right now, and you cannot be here and not just get thrilled at the possibility of what's happening. Now, does that mean that we're going to be able to pull this off through the whole country, through the whole world? I don't know, there is a lot of ambiguity there and this is why you can't predict the future with certainty.But I do believe we have the potential here to rebuild fundamentally. I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. For example, I know Andreessen, you talk about Andreessen . . . I was also rooted in the whole Obama thing, there was a ton of tech people in the Obama thing, and now there's a ton of tech people who are kind of tech-right, but it's all kind of washes together. It's because we all see the potential of these technologies just emerging in front of us. The question is . . . how do you get the systems to adapt?Now, to be fair, California, yes, it's been gummed up with regulations and overthink, but on the other hand, it's opened itself up. It just went through historic shifts in rolling back environmental reviews and trying to drive more housing by refusing to let the NIMBY shut it down. There's a bunch of things that even the left-of-center side is trying to deal with this gummed-up system, and the right-of-center side is doing their version of it in DC right now.Anyhow, the point is, we see the limits on both left-of-center and right-of-center of what's currently happening and what has happened. The question is, can we get aligned on a relatively common way forward, which is what America did coming off the war for 25 years, which is what happened after the Civil War. There were issues around the Reconstruction, but there was a kind of explosive expansion around American progress in the 25 years there. And we did it off the Revolution too. There are these moments where left-of-center and right-of-center align and we kind of build off of a more American set of values: pluralism, meritocracy, economic growth, freedom, personal freedom, things that we all can agree on, it's just they get gummed up in these old systems and these old ideologies periodically and we've just got to blow through them and try something different. I think the period we're in right now.Facing AI pessimism (15:38)The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.I feel like you are very optimistic.Yes, that is true.I like to think that I am very optimistic. I think we're both optimistic about what these technologies can do to make this country and this world a richer world, a more sustainable world, a healthier world, create more opportunity. I think we're on the same page. So it's sad to me that I feel like I've been this pessimistic so far throughout our conversation and this next question, unfortunately, will be in that vein.Okay, fair enough.I have a very clear memory of the '90s tech boom, and the excitement, and this is the most excited I've been since then, but I know some people aren't excited, and they're not excited about AI. They think AI means job loss, it means a dehumanization of society where we only interact with screens, and they think all the gains from any added economic growth will only go to the super rich, and they're not excited about it.My concern is that the obvious upsides will take long enough to manifest that the people who are negative, and the downsides — because there will be downsides with any technology or amazing new tool, no matter how amazing it is — that our society will begin to focus on the downsides, on, “Oh, this company let go of these 50 people in their marketing department,” and that's what will be the focus, and we will end up overregulating it. There will be pressure on companies, just like there's pressure on film companies not to use AI in their special effects or in their advertising, that there will be this anti-AI, anti-technology backlash — like we've seen with trade — because what I think are the obvious upsides will take too long to manifest. That is one of my concerns.I agree with that. That is a concern. In fact, right now if you look at the polling globally, about a third of Americans are very negative and down on AI, about a third are into AI, and about a third, don't what the hell what to make of it. But if you go to China, and Japan, and a lot of Asian countries, it's like 60 percent, 70 percent positive about AI. You go to Europe and it's similar to the US, if not worse, meaning there is a pessimism.To be fair, from a human planet point of view, the West has had a way privileged position in the last 250 years in terms of the wealth creation, in terms of the spoils of globalization, and the whole thing. So you could say — which is not a popular thing to say in America right now — that with globalization in the last 25 years, we actually started to rectify, from a global point of view, a lot of these inequities in ways that, from the long view, is not a bad thing to happen, that everybody in the planet gets lifted up and we can move forward as eight billion people on the planet.I would say so there is a negativity in the West because they're coming off a kind of an era that they were always relatively privileged. There is this kind of baked-in “things are getting worse” feeling for a lot of people. That's kind of adding to this pessimism, I think. That's a bad thing.My next book, which is coming out with Harper Collins and we just cracked the contract on that, I got a big advance —Hey, congratulations.But the whole idea of this book is kind of trying to create a new grand narrative of what's possible now, in the next 25 years, based on these new technologies and how we could reorganize the economy and society in ways that would work better for everybody. The reason I'm kind of trying to wrap this up, and the early pieces of this are in my Substack series of these essays I'm writing, is because I think what's missing right now is people can't see the new way forward. That's the win-win way forward. They actually are only operating on this opaque thing. The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.What's interesting about this, and again what's useful, is I went through this exact same thing in the '90s. It's a little bit different, and I'll tell you the differentiation in a minute, but basically back in the '90s when I was working at the early stage with the founders of WIRED magazine, it was the early days of WIRED, basically meaning the world didn't know what email was, what the web was, people were saying there's no way people would put their credit cards on the internet, no one's going to buy anything on there, you had to start with square one. What was interesting about it is they didn't understand what's possible. A lot of the work I was doing back then at WIRED, but also with my first book then, went into multiple languages, all kinds of stuff, was trying to explain from the mid-'90s, what the internet and the Digital Revolution tied with globalization might look like in a positive way to the year 2020, which is a 25-year lookout.That was one of the popularities of the book, and the articles I was doing on that, and the talks I was doing — a decade speaking on this thing — because people just needed to see it: “Oh! This is what it means when you connect up everybody! Oh! I could see myself in my field living in a world where that works. Oh, actually, the trade of with China might work for my company, blah, blah, blah.” People could kind of start to see it in a way that they couldn't in the early to mid-'90s. They were just like, “I don't even know, what's an Amazon? Who cares if they're selling books on it? I don't get it.” But you could rough it out from a technological point of view and do that.I think it's the same thing now. I think we need do this now. We have to say, “Hey dudes, you working with AI is going to make you twice as productive. You're going to make twice as much money.” The growth rate of the economy — and you're good with this with your Up Wing stuff. I'm kind of with you on that. It could be like we're all actually making more money, more wealth pulsing through society. Frankly, we're hurting right now in terms of, we don't have enough bodies doing stuff and maybe we need some robots. There's a bunch of ways that you could reframe this in a bigger way that people could say, “Oh, maybe I could do that better,” and in a way that I think I saw the parallels back there.Now the one difference now, and I'll tell you the one difference between the '90s, and I mentioned this earlier, in the '90s, everybody thought these goofy tech companies and stuff were just knucklehead things. They didn't understand what they were. In fact, if anything, the problem was the opposite. You get their attention to say, “Hey, this Amazon thing is a big deal,” or “This thing called Google is going to be a big thing.” You couldn't even get them focused on that. It took until about the 20-teens, 2012, -13, -14 till these companies got big enough.So now everybody's freaked out about the tech because they're these giant gargantuan things, these trillion-dollar companies with global reach in ways that, in the '90s, they weren't. So there is a kind of fear-factor baked into tech. The last thing I'll say about that, though, is I know I've learned one thing about tech is over the years, and I still believe it's true today, that the actual cutting-edge of technology is not done in the legacy companies, even these big legacy tech companies, although they'll still be big players, is that the actual innovation is going to happen on the edges through startups and all that other thing, unless I'm completely wrong, which I doubt. That's been the true thing of all these tech phases. I think there's plenty of room for innovation, plenty of room for a lot of people to be tapped into this next wave of innovation, and also wealth creation, and I think there is a way forward that I think is going to be less scary than people right now think. It's like they think that current tech setup is going to be forever and they're just going to get richer, and richer, and richer. Well, if they were in the '90s, those companies, Facebook didn't exist, Google didn't exist, Amazon didn't exist. Just like we all thought, “Oh, IBM is going to run everything,” it's like, no. These things happen at these junctures, and I think we're in another one of the junctures, so we've got to get people over this hump. We've got to get them to see, “Hey, there's a win-win way forward that America can be revitalized, and prosperous, and wealth spread.”The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution . . .I think that's extraordinarily important, giving people an idea of what can be, and it's not all negative. You've talked a little bit about AI, people know that's out there and they know that some people think it's going to be big. Same thing with clean energy.To me, of your three transformer technologies, the one we I think sometimes hear less about right now is bioengineering. I wonder if you could just give me a little flavor of what excites you about that.It is on a delay. Clean energy has been going for a while here and is starting to scale on levels that you can see the impact of solar, the impact of electric cars and all kinds stuff, particularly from a global perspective. Same thing with AI, there's a lot of focus on that, but what's interesting about bioengineering is there were some world historic breakthroughs basically in the last 25 years.One is just cracking the human genome and driving the cost down to, it's like a hundred bucks now to get anybody's genome processed. That's just crazy drop in price from $3 million on the first one 20 years ago to like a hundred bucks now. That kind of dramatic change. Then the CRISPR breakthrough, which is essentially we can know how to cheaply and easily edit these genomes. That's a huge thing. But it's not just about the genomics. It's essentially we are understanding biology to the point where we can now engineer living things.Just think about that: Human beings, we've been in the Industrial Revolution, everything. We've learned how to engineer inert things, dig up metals, and blah, blah, blah, blah, and engineer a thing. We didn't even know how living things worked, or we didn't even know what DNA was until the 1950s, right? The living things has been this opaque world that we have no idea. We've crossed that threshold. We now understand how to engineer living things, and it's not just the genetic engineering. We can actually create proteins. Oh, we can grow cultured meat instead of waiting for the cow to chew the grass to make the meat, we can actually make it into that and boom, we know how it works.This breakthrough of engineering living things is only now starting to kind of dawn on everyone . . . when you talk about synthetic biology, it's essentially man-made biology, and that breakthrough is huge. It's going to have a lot of economic implications because, across this century, it depends how long it takes to get past the regulation, and get the fear factor of people, which is higher than even AI, probably, around genetic engineering and cloning and all this stuff. Stem cells, there's all kinds of stuff happening in this world now that we could essentially create a bio-economy. Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution that would allow, instead of creating plastic bottles, you could design biological synthetic bottles that dissolve after two weeks in the ocean from saltwater or exposure to sunlight and things like that. Nature knows how to both create things that work and also biodegrade them back to nothing.There's a bunch of insights that we now can learn from Mother Nature about the biology of the world around us that we can actually design products and services, things that actually could do it and be much more sustainable in terms of the long-term health of the planet, but also could be better for us and has all kinds of health implications, of course. That's where people normally go is think, “Oh my god, we can live longer” and all kinds of stuff. That's true, but also our built world could actually be redesigned using super-hard woods or all kinds of stuff that you could genetically design differently.That's a bigger leap. There's people who are religious who can't think of touching God's work, or a lot of eco-environmentalists like, “Oh, we can't mess with Mother Nature.” There's going to be some issues around that, but through the course of the century, it's going to absolutely happen and I think it could happen in the next 25 years, and that one could actually be a huge thing about recreating essentially a different kind of economy around those kinds of insights.So we've got three world-historic technologies: AI, clean energy, and now bioengineering, and if America can't invent the next system, who the hell is going to do that? You don't want China doing it.Demographic pressure (28:52)We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives.No, I do not. I do not. Two things I find myself writing a lot about are falling birth rates globally, and I also find myself writing about the future of the space economy. Which of those topics, demographic change or space, do you find intellectually more interesting?I think the demographic thing is more interesting. I mean, I grew up in a period where everyone was freaked out about overpopulation. We didn't think the planet would hold enough people. It's only been in the last 10 years that, conventionally, people have kind of started to shift, “Oh my God, we might not have enough people.” Although I must say, in the futurist business, I've been watching this for 30 years and we've been talking about this for a long time, about when it's going to peak humans and then it's going to go down. Here's why I think that's fantastic: We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives. I mean long lives way beyond 80, it could be 120 years at some level. Our kids might live to that.The point is, we're going to need artificial intelligence, and robotics, and all these other things, and also we're going to need, frankly, to move the shrinking number of human beings around the planet, i.e. immigration and cross-migration. We're going to need these things to solve these problems. So I think about this: Americans are practical people. At its core, we're practical people. We're not super ideological. Currently, we kind of think we're ideological, but we're basically common-sense, practical people. So these pressures, the demographic pressures, are going to be one of the reasons I think we are going to migrate to this stuff faster than people think, because we're going to realize, “Holy s**t, we've got to do this.” When social security starts going broke and the boomers are like 80 and 90 and it is like, okay, let alone the young people thinking, “How the hell am I going to get supported?” we're going to start having to create a different kind of economy where we leverage the productivity of the humans through these advanced technologies, AI and robotics, to actually create the kind of world we want to live in. It could be a better world than the world we've got now, than the old 20th-century thing that did a good shot. They lifted the bar from the 19th century to the 20th. Now we've got to lift it in the 21st. It's our role, it's what we do. America, [let's] get our s**t together and start doing it. That's the way I would say it.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Host: Carol MacAllister Description: This Podcast is a repeat from June, 2023. Joel Schock, WV Grounds Manager, tells us about WV's Green Master Plan. That means how WV plans to create areas in our highly manicured landscape that will nurture pollinator habitats, sequester more carbon, and promote natural fauna for our Central Pennsylvania environment. Water gardens, wildflower gardens, and the culling of invasive species are all in the plans. Joel has welcomed the input of WV residents, many of whom are Master Gardeners, while balancing our organizational branding as exquisitely maintained properties. This versatile, highly experienced man is the right man for this complex job. This is an opportunity to review Phase I of the Green Master Plan, as Joel will update us on July 8, 2025, on the progress and challenges of WV's efforts to support Mother Nature.
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Texas flood has caused immense heartbreak, with over 100 dead and more than 160 missing. Among the tragic stories are two young sisters, aged 13 and 11, found drowned but holding hands. Mother Nature can be a monster. Also, President Trump has had enough of Putin. Putin is a genocidal maniac responsible for slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, but there are some in Fake MAGA who root for Russia. Trump has stated bluntly that he won't tolerate Putin's actions any longer. Later, there's been a lot of buzz about Jeffrey Epstein and an alleged "list" of people tied to his crimes, but it's all speculation. The FBI has investigated, but no major new revelations have been confirmed. Social media keeps the topic alive with conspiracy theories. In addition, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, upheld Trump's plan to reduce the federal workforce, overturning a Ninth Circuit ruling. The order affirmed the president's authority to manage the executive branch without congressional approval, citing separation of powers. Afterward, the welfare state's growth, seen as new constitutional rights, obscures increasing control and regulation, failing to deliver promised equity. This strengthens the ruling class, diminishes individual and societal rights, and erodes compromise, unlike the Founders' positive power approach, which supports liberty and peaceful resolution.

in the background, only birds and the breathing of the wind could be heard.He: המתנה הגדולה של השמש הרגישה כמו חיבוק מאמא טבע.En: The great gift of the sun felt like a hug from Mother Nature.He: מתן הביט מסביב, חש אחריות כבדה על כתפיו.En: Matan looked around, feeling a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.He: הוא היה האח הגדול, ובשבילו היה חשוב מאוד לחזק את הקשר המשפחתי.En: He was the older brother, and it was very important for him to strengthen the family bond.He: הריחוק ביניהם התעצם עם השנים, ובפעם הראשונה מזה הרבה זמן, כולם נפגשו יחד.En: The distance between them had grown over the years, and for the first time in a long time, they all met together.He: טליה, התבוננה בנוף הנפלא, אך בפנים היא עוד התאוששה מפרידה כואבת.En: Talia gazed at the wonderful landscape, but inside she was still recovering from a painful breakup.He: היא לא סיפרה לאחיה כמה היא פגועה, ליבה עוד זכר את הכאב.En: She hadn't told her brothers how hurt she was; her heart still remembered the pain.He: שירה, הקטנה ביניהם, קיפצה מאחוריהם בחיוך נמרץ - אך לעיתים הרגישה שלא רואים אותה, שהיא רק הצל של אחיה הבוגרים.En: Shira, the youngest among them, was bouncing behind them with an energetic smile—but at times, she felt unseen, as if she were just the shadow of her older siblings.He: מתן הציע טיול רגלי למחרת בבוקר.En: Matan suggested a hike the next morning.He: "נטייל יחד בטבע, זה יהיה טוב לנו," הוא אמר.En: "Let's walk together in nature; it will be good for us," he said.He: הוא קיווה שהשקט של המדבר יהפוך למצבור תחושות וחוויות משותפות לכולם.En: He hoped the quiet of the desert would transform into a collection of shared feelings and experiences for all of them.He: בבוקר, כולם יצאו לטיול עם תרמילים ומים.En: In the morning, they all set out for a hike with backpacks and water.He: זה היה יום בהיר, אך לפתע, עננים החלו להתקדר מעליהם.En: It was a clear day, but suddenly, clouds began to darken above them.He: רוח חזקה התחילה לנשוב, וגשם זלעפות פרץ בהפתעה.En: A strong wind started blowing, and a torrential rain burst forth unexpectedly.He: הם נאלצו למצוא מחסה במערה קטנה בהרים.En: They had to find shelter in a small cave in the mountains.He: בתוך המערה, בצל הגשם המרסק, האבנים הקרירות והשקט של העולם, היו שם סוף סוף רק הם.En: Inside the cave, under the crashing rain, the cool stones, and the world's silence, they were finally just them.He: מתן, עם נשימות עמוקות, הבין שזה הזמן לדבר.En: Matan, with deep breaths, realized it was time to speak.He: "אני מרגיש שאני תמיד צריך לשמור עליכם," התחיל, קולו נשבר.En: "I feel like I always need to protect you," he began, his voice breaking.He: "אבל אולי איבדתי את הדרך.En: "But maybe I've lost my way."He: "טליה התחילה לדבר, "אני כל כך קיוויתי לשלום עם עצמי.En: Talia started to speak, "I so hoped for peace with myself.He: עם כל מה שקרה לי.En: With everything that happened to me."He: " קולה רעד.En: Her voice trembled.He: שירה, שהתיישבה לידם, לחשה: "אני פשוט רוצה לראות את כולנו יחד.En: Shira, who sat beside them, whispered: "I just want to see all of us together."He: "בחושך של המערה, החלו האחים לשתף ולבטא את שאת ליבם.En: In the darkness of the cave, the siblings began to share and express what was in their hearts.He: מתן הבין שעליו לשחרר את הרגשתו שעליו להיות האח הכל יכול.En: Matan realized that he needed to let go of the feeling that he had to be the all-capable brother.He: טליה מצאה שלום בלשתף את כאבה, ושירה גילתה סוף סוף את מקומה המיוחד בתוך המשפחה.En: Talia found peace in sharing her pain, and Shira finally discovered her special place within the family.He: הגשם הפסיק.En: The rain stopped.He: הם יצאו החוצה, השמש שוב חזרה להאיר בחום.En: They went outside, the sun once again shining warmly.He: מתן, טליה ושירה הרגישו קרבה חדשה שלא הייתה שם לפני.En: Matan, Talia, and Shira felt a new closeness that wasn't there before.He: הם חיבקו אחד את השני, וליבם היה מלא אהבה וחום.En: They hugged each other, and their hearts were full of love and warmth.He: כשחזרו למקום האירוח בהרים, הכל הרגיש אחרת.En: When they returned to their lodging in the mountains, everything felt different.He: הם הבטיחו להישאר בקשר קרוב יותר, לא משנה מה יקרה.En: They promised to stay in closer touch, no matter what happens.He: הלבבות נפתחו, והם ידעו שהמשפחה חשובה מכל דבר.En: Their hearts were open, and they knew that family was more important than anything else.He: מתן למד לפעמים להיות פגיע זו המעלה הגדולה ביותר, והחיבור המשפחתי שלהם רק התחזק מהקשיים.En: Matan learned that sometimes being vulnerable is the greatest virtue, and their family connection only strengthened from the hardships.He: כך, אל מול הנוף הפתוח והמרשים של אילת, הם הרגישו שותפות אמת ואחדות.En: Thus, facing the open and impressive landscape of Eilat, they felt true partnership and unity.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The myth of "Mother Nature" Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: A. W.

Halfway through 2025, the agricultural land market across the upper Midwest demonstrates remarkable stability despite economic headwinds that might suggest otherwise. This mid-year analysis reveals how 150 parcels representing 35,000 acres have sold at an average of $4,300 per acre—maintaining the strength shown throughout 2024 when many expected a downturn.The regional variations tell a fascinating story of American farmland values. Premium Red River Valley parcels command up to $12,000 per tillable acre while challenging properties bring $3,000 an acre in the same general vicinity. What factors create this dramatic price spectrum within seemingly similar geographies? Our experts break down how soil types, drainage patterns, productivity history, and even micro-climate conditions impact valuation in ways casual observers might miss.Perhaps the most surprising market development comes from western ranch country, where grassland values have surged 10-15%. With cattle markets reaching historical highs, grazing properties that historically fetched $1,200-1,400 per acre now regularly exceed $1,800. This demonstrates agriculture's cyclical nature—as row crop economics face pressure, livestock operations gain purchasing power.The psychological impact of weather continues to drive market sentiment. A significant drought buster in mid-May transformed western Dakota auction results almost overnight, highlighting how precipitation patterns remain the ultimate market mover in agricultural communities. While modern farmers deploy sophisticated technology and financial instruments, Mother Nature still holds the ultimate leverage.The buyer pool has evolved since the frenzied markets of recent years. While attendance remains robust, active bidders have decreased from 20-25 per auction to single digits in many cases. Online participation continues to strengthen, and investor presence has increased compared to 2022-23. Yet the fundamental driver remains constant—quality land commands premium prices from buyers who recognize its long-term value.Looking toward the second half of 2025, several extraordinary properties are coming to market, including Black Hills parcels with direct views of Mount Rushmore and bordering Custer State Park.

Psalm 135:6, "The Lord does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths." Psalm 147:16-18, "He sends the snow like white wool; He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against His freezing cold? Then, at His command, it all melts. He sends His winds, and the ice thaws." Psalm 148:8, "Fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather obey Him." "I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light, and create darkness, I bring prosperity, and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things!" Isaiah 45:6-7 Who is regulating affairs on this earth today: God, or the Devil? That God reigns supreme in Heaven, is generally conceded; but that He reigns supreme over this earth, is almost universally denied--if not directly, then indirectly. More and more are men relegating God to the background, in their philosophizing and theorizing. Take the material realm. Not only is it denied that God created everything, by personal and direct action, but few believe that He has any immediate concern in regulating the works of His own hands. It is common to hear disasters explained as impersonal "Forces of Nature," or mere outcomes of "Natural Laws," or "Bad Luck." Yet Scripture shatters that notion: War, pestilence, floods, storms, earthquakes, fires--all flow from the eternal decree and providential governance of our holy God. When hurricanes lash the coast, or fires consume forests--we must not bow the knee to the myth of "Mother Nature" but humble ourselves before the One who "commands and raises the stormy wind." Nahum 1:3, "He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The

The boys try to seize on AJ's hole-in-one hysteria by making a golf date… only to see it cancelled by Mother Nature. Of course, that doesn't stop AJ from testing out some future on-course cocktails. Meanwhile, the Iceman lays out his plan to become the Girl-Dad version of Earl Woods. But lest we forget, the Iceman isn't all golf, all the time… he's also a noted Squid Game geek, and he's gearing up for all the finale fun (with or without AJ). There's also some NBA scuttlebutt, along with a quick glance at the unassuming Air Jordan 40. But make no mistake, this one is fun enough to make you wanna jump off a 4-story railing on a cruise ship.

Greater Yellowlegs — not surprisingly — have bright yellow legs and feet. And why? While foraging through shallow water, a yellowlegs can keep track of its legs by the color, which contrasts with the sometimes dark and irregular bottom. A Sanderling, on the other hand, has black legs and feet. Its black toes really stand out against the pale sand. And the brilliant orange legs of Ruddy Turnstones? They stand out like a neon light on the shore. Mother Nature is good with the fine details!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Kilroy‑Sized Show Notes | Head‑ON with Roxanne Kincaid — July 1, 2025 (4,000‑character carnival ride, safely under Apple's big top)
In this third installment of my "DharmaByte" column and "UnMind" podcast, exploring the general subject of Zen in our Times, we turn to the last of three suggested topics from Hokai Jeff Harper, Halifax-based publisher of the STO newsletter: • To everything there is a season• The wax and wane of householder zazen practice• What we are feeling right now IS impermanence manifesting itself Hokai somehow managed, perhaps unintentionally, to progressively home in on the central experience of Zen on three levels. Starting with the most universal sphere of our experience on Earth, the seasonality that is an effect of orbiting the sun for approximately 365 rotations of the planet; then down to the social sphere of our practice as householders; and finally into the realm of the intimate, up-close-and-personal sphere of consciousness itself. What I call the "singularity of Zen." As I mentioned in the last segment, we often seem to labor under a misconception that because we follow the lifestyle of householders, we cannot hope to penetrate to the fundamental meaning of the teachings of Buddhism. But Hokai's assertion puts the lie to this assumption. If the Dharma is simply pointing at the present reality that we are experiencing, lifestyle choices cannot possibly have a determinative or dispositive, causal relationship in terms of coming to realization of our buddha mind. What we are feeling now is impermanence manifesting itself, to quote the above quote. Not only what we are feeling now, but what we are seeing and hearing, smelling and tasting, as well as what we are thinking. Or reading, if you are reading this rather than listening to the podcast version. You might quibble with Hokai's construction - "impermanence manifesting itself" - as it suggests that "impermanence" is some sort of independent force capable of manifesting itself, rather than an attribute of the changing nature of the universe. But let's not let mere semantics distract from the message. We are witnessing the "endless, unremitting, unnamable, unthinkable buddha-dharma," as Master Dogen expressed it; and we bear witness to IT mainly through the dynamic of change, or impermanence. Otherwise, we would not register seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, or even thinking, at all. If nothing were changing, there could be no awareness of it. As I mentioned in the segment on householder practice, renunciation in Zen is a matter of seeing through the delusional aspect of living, not a matter of lifestyle. Discernment in Zen is like Sri Ramakrishna's analogy that, like a swan, we need to be able to drink milk mixed with water, and drink only the milk. Or as Master Tozan analogized: A silver bowl filled with snow A heron hidden in the moonTaken as similar, they are not the sameNot distinguished, their places are known So this refined awareness of the nondual nature of reality, termed "emptiness," as opposed to "form" or appearance, is so close to ordinary reality, or perceptual duality, that it is nearly indistinguishable — like white snow in a silver bowl, or a white heron and the full moon — white on white. Buddha taught that the discriminating mind imposes a "false stillness" on reality, tamping down the uninhibited flow of sensory data to a dull roar. This enables us to maintain our balance and negotiate a dynamic, 4-dimensional spacetime environment.This is part of the natural process of "individuation" that sets in once we are born, and culminates in the conception of the independent self, which is a fundamental category error, according to Buddhism. The original alienation that is our fall from grace. It is not that Buddhism claims there is no self whatever. There is a constructed self, and there is a true self, according to this model. The prevalent perception of separation as an incarnated being is not entirely delusional. But it is incomplete — reification of a separate self ignores the rest of the story, the fact that all beings are interconnected, co-arisen and co-dependent. The Twelvefold Chain of Interdependent Arising, attributed to Shakyamuni, parses this coming-of-age story, slicing and dicing stages of development finely, like an Italian chef shaving garlic with a razorblade. This is similar to Master Dogen's fine discernment of reality — from a perspective uniting space, or existence, and time — as articulated in Uji—Being-Time, explored in some detail in a prior podcast. What he referred to as the "fine mind of Nirvana," or the "subtle mind of Nirvana." Master Sengcan, third Chinese patriarch after Bodhidharma and his successor Huike, points to something similar in Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind: In this world of Suchness there is neither self nor other-than-selfTo come into harmony with this realityJust simply say when doubt arises: "not two"In this "not two" nothing is separate nothing is excludedNo matter when or where Enlightenment means entering this truthAnd this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or spaceIn it a single thought is ten thousand years Believing in the fundamental bifurcation of consciousness into self-and-other, body versus mind — the "Cartesian error" — is resolved in realizing that "you can't have one without the other," or as the more contemporary trope would have it, "both things can be true at the same time." "Neither-self-nor-other-than-self" indicates the True Self of Buddhism, undivided from the very beginning. "Not-two" is the mantra we conjure whenever any doubt about this arises. At the risk of repeating myself — with the caveat that these teachings bear repetition, especially in changing contexts — the last stanza returns us to the singularity of Zen: No matter when or whereEnlightenment means entering this truthAnd this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or spaceIn it a single thought is ten thousand years The last line of which Matsuoka-roshi would encapsulate as "The eternal moment." So it all comes down to this. Like a fish-trap, reality ensnares us in its wide reach, and as we pursue our own realization — which, after all, is, or should be, our birthright — we find the trap narrowing again and again, until there is no escape, no turning back; like the exhausted swimmer at the halfway point, it is just as far, and equally risky, to try to make it back safely to shore as it is to continue swimming to the island. If we persevere, finally finding ourselves on the "other shore," we can see clearly that we have been seeing things all wrong, all along. There never has been a separate self to embody, let alone to defend against all comers, let alone any existential annihilation. In the not-two nonduality of Zen's reality, it was all like a bad dream, one that we essentially made up — with a little help from our friends and family, of course, not to mention the entire world of benighted people who fear death and, consequently, life. This is not to insist that everyone else is wrong about everything, and that only I and my like-minded friends from the enchanted land of Zen have the inside track. In one sense, it must be true that everyone has a hunch about this — an inkling that something is missing — and that that something is worth knowing. Otherwise we would probably all commit mass suicide, in despair. Which is exactly what it looks like we are doing, with an assist from the stewards, elected or not, of our commonweal. Can anyone say "lemmings"? But Buddhism never seemed to show much concern about the survival of the species. Celibacy is the quickest way to bring down the curtain on humanity - simply not giving birth to the next generation. Of course, the coterie of those who abjure bearing children is not likely to ever encompass a majority of the population, so that kind of extinction is not going to happen. No, it is more likely that Mother Nature's balancing act will bring about the demise of humanity owing to our disruption of her sphere of influence, so carefully nurtured to bring the miracle of life to the planet in the first place, as the goddess Gaia: In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth and a primordial goddess, one of the first deities to emerge from Chaos. She is often referred to as Mother Earth and is considered the mother of all life. And life itself is "fleeting as an arrow" according to Buddha. What we are feeling in the present is this fleeting moment, our life passing before our very eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind in a vast network of frequencies in polyrhythmic synchrony. Our heartbeat is our metronome, the rise and fall of the breathing our connection to the thin atmospheric blanket embracing the earth. On a personal basis, there is no time to waste in foolish pursuits, as the sage Jianzhi Sengcan reminds us in Hsinhsinming: Waste no time in doubts and arguments that have nothing to do with this A century later, Master Sekito Kisen says it another way, in Sandokai: I respectfully urge you who study the Mysterydo not pass your days and nights in vain So Hokai does us a great service to remind us of the evanescence of spacetime in the personal realm, embedded in our social context as householders, surrounded by the world of Nature both nurturing and threatening us, finally floating in the constancy of the universal. Let Tozan Ryokai have the last word on it, after yet another century, from his Hokyo Zammai: Within causes and conditions time and season it is serene and illuminating So minute it enters where there is no gap so vast it transcends dimensionA hairsbreadth deviation and you are out of tune It seems that all three of the great Ch'an masters are speaking with one voice, urging us to pay attention. There is not so much to their Buddhism after all, as one sage commented upon the occasion of his insight. So Hokai's assertion that what we are feeling right now IS impermanence manifesting itself is subject to Master Dogen's repeat comment: "All things are like this." Not only what we are feeling right now — but what we are seeing and hearing, smelling and tasting and yes, even what we are thinking right now — is, in one sense, impermanence. It is not only in front of your face, it is also behind your face, penetrating your hearing with no boundary, in and out through your nose and mouth (and other orifices), and enveloping your body outside and inside, clean and clear through your original mind. Tozan says, with stunning nonchalance, earlier in the poem: You are not IT — but in truth IT is you Buddha is attributed with saying something like — that there is impermanence means that there is permanence. And his followers were overjoyed to hear that. What made them so happy? Again recalling Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind: Change appearing to occur in the empty world we call real —only because of our ignorance So the nondual version of this insight is that IT is both changing and staying the same at the same time. This should bring about a great sigh of relief in all who realize it.
In July of 1863, a bloody battle fought near a small Pennsylvania town made the name Gettysburg famous throughout the world. Just forty-five years later, in July of 1908, tragedy would once again befall soldiers on the hallowed fields of Gettysburg. This time, the casualties would not fall by Confederate cannonballs or Union bayonets-- but by the hands of Mother Nature.
We're chasing storms and racing this week! Mother Nature is really interrupting the racing season as we hit July!
An invitation to tea. You are the universe embodied. A cooling sack of starsHow will you orient yourself within these times?* Is this an enforced crisis? My opinion is in here.* with all that is happening, where are we? Well where are you choosing to be* how taking time for yourself can REALLY serve you in your orientation* our art matriarch's essential question - who lives in here * what about that identity if yours - what do they have to say* with climate change and war and insecurity, chosen consciousness is key* life saving tea timeLet's breathe together.Shiloh Sophia Sue and I prepping for my first art show…1994So here we are. But where exactly are we? Here we are right in the middle of an evolutionary change that's at such a magnificent scale that it's hard for us to grasp where we are. Whether we're looking at economics, food, war unemployment, politics. No matter where we're looking, we can see that we're in a different place than we've been before. And we find ourselves wondering, what in the world are we going to do? Like 10 years ago, our activism looked different. The things that matter to us, diversity inclusion literally just equal rights for all let alone a freedom to pursue happiness. It's different now because we are at a level of enforced crisis. I say enforced because it's manipulated and created. Because the climate is speeded up to the degree that we can't evolve at the same degree that the needs of the planet are changing. Prophecies have indicated we are in different versions of end times, even though they name it something different. Meanwhile, many of us have friends and family who also appear to think that there's a lot of really good things happening. And there are a lot of really good things happening. So there's a question of where are we now as a species, as a people? But then there's just: Where are you now? Where are you orienting yourself inside of your own experience? Are you choosing your relationship to “What Is” or just responding and reacting to the things around you? Will you pause with me right now and just take a breath? You know, let's change that. Let's not say take a breath.Just receive a breath. Because the breath is happening naturally. The most beautiful things in life. The birds building the nest on the porch right now. The rising of the sun over the trees. The most beautiful things in life right now. have always been the most beautiful things. Of course, to be loved. Of course, to have a nest, to build a little family. To have beauty. And sometimes even quiet. To have enough. I think the sad and sometimes sorrowing and harrowing reality is that we know it could be different. We know it didn't have to be this way. And we don't know what to do.We're not sure where to turn. Yet somewhere deep inside of ourselves we know that we've been a part of creating, this at whatever level, you or your ancestors, or any way we look at it, we're all one, we're all interconnected. So we're all creating this and it doesn't appear right now as if we're going to be able to uncreate it in any amount of time that's going to make the biggest difference in terms of species going extinct or climate change, natural disasters. So the thing we have is our consciousness, our relationship to ourselves, the observer looking out from these eyes. Are you still breathing?Sue Hoya Sellers, our art matriarch, used to ask this question: Who lives in here? And she would tap her body. Who is it? What identity has colonized this particular matter called my body? Which she called my sacred address. A sacred address. A space or place where identity inhabits inside of a bubble called soul that appears to have traveled with us. Since the beginning of creation. If you are a cooling sack of stars. That iron which makes your blood red. Is the iron from exploding stars. Everything that's in your body. is also the universe, not everything that's in the universe is in your body but everything that's in your body is in essence the universe so you are an identity embodying the universe in the shape of you who is that what do they want what do they see what do they know what medicine are they holding. Are you breathing with me? Just ask the question, who lives in here? Just for an hour, get a journal and a cup of tea or coffee and sit outside bundled up in the morning light and just ask, who lives in here? And begin to write. Because when you are really in relationship with this being who lives in here, this soul that's inhabiting this incarnate form at this time, you gain access to greater wisdom, some hope beyond hope, some sacred technologies that were different than ones this lifetime. An inner knower, an intuitive being. They are here. You are here. So where are we now? We are right here.And when we're here, then we have the power to navigate because we come from a place of choice.But if you just rush into your day without stopping and breathing, without a little cafe, a little tea with the muse, it's harder once the day starts rolling. It's a hustle, baby. I'm asking you to stop hustling. And just breathe with me and be in a place of cafe. Tea with the Muse is life-saving because it helps you orient yourself to the day. Let's orient ourselves to our day right now. Not let the news or even sick family members, not letting the media or a disturbance at work or someone who's mad at you, not letting that define your orientation. It's there. You're not bypassing it.But if your orientation comes from a sense ofSself within, a cultivation of that self. And I am lending the Self that I am to sit beside the Self that you are in the Quantum Café. This is Curate Shiloh Sophia for Tea with the Muse. Thank you for listening. I'm grateful for you.Shiloh Sophia We have all kinds of ways you can play with us here at Musea. If you go to musea.org, Musea means many muses, many museums. We have a complimentary two-hour class called Uncommon Grounds. We have an in-person and virtual class called The Muse of Magics. We have Mother Nature, a 13-moon sisterhood. These are different levels of engagement, and you are welcome to join us here. I'm also sitting here in the presence that my 15-year project, Color of Woman, We have an in-person gathering, and the team has arrived yesterday and today, and then there will be close to 20 women in this space at Museum Center for Intentional Creativity and Consciousness. I'm settling into this role of teacher. I don't know what I'll do next. It hasn't come yet, but for now I prepare for Red Thread Circle. And tea with the muse. Blessed be your day.

We're learning more about the ransacking of actor Brad Pitt's home after Los Angeles police say three suspects scaled a fence while he was on a worldwide tour promoting his new movie. As Steven Fabian reports, it's just the latest in a string of high-profile break-ins of celebrity homes. And the sky's the limit for the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. They've got everything a bride and groom could ask for…an unlimited budget, a gorgeous setting in one of the world's most romantic cities, and a star-studded guest list. Yes, they thought of everything, but somebody forgot to tell Mother Nature to please hold the rain. Plus, it's being called the "swinger's defense." Sean Combs' defense lawyers made their final summation to the federal jury at his sex trafficking trial today. And they put forward the argument that the rap mogul had a "swinger's lifestyle” that may not be for everyone, but is not criminal. Les Trent is at the courthouse. And it was this the worst cruise ever? It happened, in 2013, when a fire in the engine room led to a loss of power...and a breakdown in the ship's sanitary conditions. The notorious incident came to be known as the "poop cruise." and now it's the subject of a big new Netflix documentary.

The Summer Squeeze & Heatwave Havoc"It's mid-June, and if you're like me, you've got a lot on your plate."* School graduation season – the bittersweet farewells, the endless ceremonies, the proud but exhausting moments.* Summer camp registration – navigating waitlists, packing lists, and figuring out how many swimsuits a child actually needs.* Vacation planning – the excitement mixed with the dizzying logistics of flights, accommodations, and itineraries.* Hitting those last work deadlines – the sprint to the finish line before a hopeful, but often elusive, summer slowdown.Top of all of that, Mother Nature decided to turn up the dial. Way, way up."* "In the last week, we've been smack dab in the middle of a serious heatwave. Temperatures hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes even higher, across swaths of the U.S., especially here on the East Coast where records are being shattered. It's not just hot; it's oppressive."* Physical impact: "You step outside, and it feels like breathing soup. That thick, hot, humid air just clings to you. And for me, personally, I've found myself dealing with a sore throat and nasal congestion, which just adds insult to injury when you're already feeling drained by the heat."* "It's not just the external temperature, is it? It's the feeling of being overwhelmed when your body is literally fighting to stay cool."As if navigating our personal summer chaos and battling the relentless sun wasn't enough, we're all acutely aware of the larger world spinning around us, often feeling like it's teetering on the edge. So, here are some practical tips to manage the heat and its effects:Heat-specific self-care, a bit more practical* Hydration, Hydration, Hydration: This sounds obvious, but it's your number one defense. And I'm talking about more than just water! Think electrolyte drinks, coconut water, and watery fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. These help replenish vital minerals you lose through sweat. Try to avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can actually dehydrate you further. A simple tip: Keep a reusable water bottle with you at all times, and maybe set an alarm on your phone every hour or so to remind you to take a big gulp.* Strategic Cooling Strategies:* Stay indoors during peak heat: This is crucial. The hottest part of the day is usually between 11 AM and 4 PM. If you can, avoid being outside entirely during these hours.* Cool showers or baths: These are amazing for instantly bringing down your core temperature. Even just dipping your feet in a basin of cool water can provide surprising relief.* Light, loose clothing: Opt for natural fabrics like cotton, and stick to light colors. These choices make a huge difference in how your body dissipates heat.* Cool compresses: A damp cloth or ice pack on your neck, wrists, or inner elbows can offer surprisingly fast relief by cooling the blood flowing close to the surface.* Utilize fans and AC: If you have air conditioning, use it! If you don't, fans can help, especially if you place a bowl of ice in front of them to create a makeshift cool breeze. Also, don't be shy about seeking out public cooling centers, libraries, or even a local shopping mall for a few hours of free, glorious air-conditioned relief.* Food choices: Opt for lighter, cooler meals. Think crisp salads, refreshing smoothies, and plenty of fresh fruit. Avoid heavy, hot meals that make your body work harder to digest and generate more internal heat.* Mind-Body Connection:* Deep Breathing Exercises: When we're stressed or overheated, our breathing tends to become shallow and rapid. Taking a few slow, deep breaths – inhaling deeply into your belly, holding for a few seconds, and then exhaling slowly – signals to your nervous system that you're safe. It can calm you almost instantly. Let's try one quickly: Inhale slowly for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and then slowly exhale for a count of six. (Pause) Feel that subtle shift? It's powerful.* Gentle Movement (even in the heat): While your Pilates or gym class is excellent, for others, even a gentle stretch session indoors, some slow, restorative yoga poses, or even just dancing to a favorite song in your living room can release tension and get your blood flowing without overheating you.* Mindfulness Moments: Beyond walks, try mindful eating – truly savoring each bite of your food. Or mindful listening – just focusing on one sound, like the hum of your AC or the distant chirping of birds. Even a quick body scan meditation, where you focus on sensations in each part of your body without judgment, can be incredibly grounding. There are tons of free apps like Calm, Headspace, or Insight Timer that offer guided meditations for all levels.* Healthy Escapism: You're already a pro with books! Keep a stack of novels, thrilling mysteries, or uplifting non-fiction that has absolutely nothing to do with work or global crises. Dive in. When it comes to movies or shows, choose comfort. Lighthearted comedies, fascinating nature documentaries, or visually stunning films that transport you to another world. Now is not the time for intense dramas or news-heavy content if you're trying to de-stress. Think about what brings you genuine joy and calm.* The Power of "No": Finally, and this is a big one: sometimes, true self-care is simply saying "no" to one more thing on your plate. Say "no" to an extra commitment that stretches you too thin. Say "no" to feeling guilty for taking a much-needed break. Say "no" to the pressure to be "on" and productive all the time. Your well-being needs that space.This summer chaos, the relentless heat, the weight of the world… it's all very real. It's valid to feel overwhelmed, to feel stretched. But so is our incredible capacity to navigate it with grace, resilience, and intentional self-care. It's not about eliminating every single stressor, because that's often impossible. Instead, it's about finding those small anchors, those moments of quiet, those intentional acts of self-kindness that help you refuel, re-center, and remind yourself that you've got this.You're doing great, even when it feels like you're not. Give yourself permission to feel overwhelmed, and then give yourself permission to step back, re-center, and implement even just one small self-care strategy today.What's your go-to grounding practice when life gets wild? How are you coping with this extreme heat? I'd absolutely love to hear from you. Let's share our strategies and support each other through this wild summer. That is all for this week.

In this episode of Honey Bee Obscura, Jim Tew is joined by Anne Frey of Betterbee to talk locust flows—and the puzzling question of why these spectacular blooms don't always result in a honey crop. From the sweet scent of black locust trees to the realities of nectar availability, Jim and Anne explore the unpredictable connection between what we see in the landscape and what actually ends up in the supers. They swap observations on nectar flow patterns, weather and soil influences, and how different regions experience blooms. Anne highlights the importance of preparation and timing, while Jim reflects on the hard-earned lessons of missed harvests and misread cues. The conversation shifts to honey harvesting strategies for sideliners, including the pros and cons of triangle escapes, fume boards, and bee blowers. They even touch on sticky floors, steam uncappers, and creative ways to rescue lost bees in the extraction room. If you've ever been puzzled by empty supers during a full bloom or are planning your next harvest, this candid and practical discussion will help you be ready—because, as Anne says, “Mother Nature doesn't wait.” ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

In 1995, 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis disappeared in broad daylight from her high school in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her belongings were abandoned in her locker, and she never made it to her afternoon classes. No one has seen her since. Thirty years later, the mystery of what happened to Kiplyn has endured in a community that refuses to forget her. However, as the years have passed, the ties that have bound family and friends together have begun to come undone, and secrets have started to emerge, which begs the question: how long can someone stay quiet when what they've done starts to come into the light? Anyone who has any information that can lead to the discovery of Kiplyn's remains is asked to call the Spanish Fork police department at (801) 798-5070 or (801) 804-4700. Alternatively, you can call the FBI field office at 801-374-5332.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Tragedy With A View:What is life without close calls with disaster?Hosted by Kayla, Tragedy with a View is an outdoor lover's podcast for those who love true tales of tragic loss and unbelievable survival involving the wilderness, wildlife and weather.

The average U.S. grower is over 58 years of age. The number of family farms in America is shrinking. For health and the well-being of our country, we need a strong contribution from the next generation. Fortunately, there's a growing number of talented younger people getting involved.Allisen Carmichael, Director of Operations with Sierra Pacific Farms in Ventura County in Southern California oversees day to day operations of their management of citrus and avocado orchards.She said they take a regenerative approach to farming, with an emphasis on healthy soil.“The best thing we can do to combat Mother Nature is to be prepared for it,” she remarked. “If we have healthy trees, then we are put in a better position to avoid as much crop loss as possible.”Carmichael said Redox products are part of their crop nutrition, adding “they are high quality and help us enhance our plant's ability to uptake nutrients.”

It's Let It Rip Friday, and we're talking to Mike Corey.

In this episode, Linda continues her two-part conversation with Shannon Everett, co-founder of American Truckers United, an organization formed to inform, advocate, and protect truckers and citizens from the dangers of allowing non-citizens, especially those without valid IDs and/or those who cannot read or speak English, from obtaining a CDL in our country. America depends on truckers every single day. The highway heroes on our roads have often been the eyes and ears for the American people, alerting us to dangers that may affect our safety and national security. Many laws are designed to regulate the industry, but loopholes, especially around immigration laws, allow for illegal activity, safety issues, and homeland security threats. This is important information for every American who cares about highway safety and national security. Listen today for information and action items you can take to make America's roadways safer. ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Mother Nature and I aren't on speaking terms. Man from New Jersey was gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park, second incident this year. German politician strips naked, calls on ‘open-minded citizens' to join him on swingers trip in France. Don't get any ideas, Trump! Detroit, Michigan - A man dropped a turd in the middle of the shoe section. The Rockies are drawing an average of 28,356 fans per home game this season, according to ESPN MLB league data.
On this week's Encounters episode, we're honoring stories rooted in Indigenous culture, land, and legacy. Sabrina returns from a powerful trip to Peru — and shares a ritual led by an Inca healer (whose grandmother was chosen by Mother Nature herself after being struck by lightning). Then we dive into listener submissions: haunted dreams, shapeshifting spirits, shadow figures, and cosmic guardians... all with deep ancestral roots. Inside this episode: A recurring dream turns physical when a spirit drags a child by her feet — and the walls start scratching in real life A “three-legged dog” appears on a dark road… then again miles later — possibly a shapeshifter in disguise A child spirit wanders out of her mother's body before birth and returns later, like a baby-sized astral projection A listener sees the same UFO years apart — on sacred land We also learn about a Raven Mocker, Cherokee beliefs on Bigfoot and why silver coins might save you from a Pukwudgie.
