Yesterday I experienced a noticeable pattern that couldn't be explained away as mere coincidence. It points to something most people never stop to consider: that the "coincidences" woven through your life might not be random at all. Many people want to dismiss synchronicities, but I see them as signs of an intelligent Universe speaking to us. Join me, Kara Goodwin, LIVE for this Soul Elevation conversation about synchronicities: what they actually are, what they might be pointing to, and why tuning in to them could fundamentally shift how you experience your spiritual awakening. I'll share real examples from me own life (just yesterday, in fact) and introduce a completely new framework for how we understand meaningful coincidences, spiritual signs, and the hidden structure of lived experience. We're moving past the surface-level explanation we've all heard before. In this LIVE stream we'll explore: ✦ Why synchronicities are far more than coincidence ✦ The deeper framework behind what they actually are ✦ What the universe may be showing you through these signs ✦ What synchronicities might be trying to tell you ✦ Real examples  If you've been experiencing signs from the Universe, noticing patterns you can't explain, or feeling the pull of something bigger on your spiritual path, don't miss this one.

H.W. Brands describes how the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, fundamentally changed the nature of the conflict, which Lindbergh privately characterized as Roosevelt getting the country "in through the back door." While Roosevelt was surprised by the location of the attack, he had been pressuring Japan through ultimatums regarding their presence in China and Indonesia. Hitler, believing Roosevelt was already "itching for a cause of war," did the president a "favor" by declaring war on the United States 72 hours later, merging two separate conflicts into World War II. Once the U.S. was officially at war, Lindbergh attempted to fulfill his duty as a loyal citizen by volunteering for the Army Air Corps. Roosevelt personally blocked the request, unwilling to let his chief critic become a military hero, while his administration continued to smear Lindbergh as a "Nazi sympathizer" unfit for command. Undeterred, Lindbergh signed on with aircraft manufacturers as a consultant and surreptitiously traveled to the Pacific theater. There, he not only tested planes but also flew combat missions against the Japanese, providing his skills to his country despite being officially barred from service. Lindbergh lived until 1974, eventually dying in Hawaii, leaving behind a legacy as a man whose technical brilliance was overshadowed by a bitter and historic debate over America's role in the world.

I'm exposing the truth about how high-protein foods can mimic the appetite-suppressing effects of weight loss drugs but with benefits instead of side effects. When you use Ozempic or similar medications, up to 40% of your weight loss can come from muscle, devastating your metabolism and setting you up for rebound fat gain. Protein, however, works naturally with your body's hunger hormones—slashing ghrelin for 3+ hours, maintaining healthy leptin levels, and boosting PYY—all while providing essential amino acids for mood-regulating neurotransmitters. I'm sharing my complete Ozempic-mimicking protein protocol, including the magic combination with fiber that naturally stimulates GLP-1 production (the same hormone triggered by those expensive medications). Plus, protein's thermogenic effect means you'll burn more calories digesting it, and when paired with resistance training, you'll maintain or even build metabolism-boosting muscle rather than losing it. What you'll learn: How protein naturally controls hunger through three key hormonal pathways Why Ozempic and similar drugs can cause dangerous muscle loss (up to 40%) The specific protein amounts needed at morning and evening "bumper meals" to control cravings Which protein sources provide the best metabolic benefits How to pair protein with fiber for maximum GLP-1 production The importance of resistance training in a protein-focused weight loss approach Why protein shakes outperformed Ozempic in a recent study for fat loss while preserving muscle Love the podcast?

Have you ever felt like the project manager of your relationship —the planner, the therapist, the reminder system, the emotionalregulator — and somewhere along the way, you stopped feelinglike a partner and started feeling like a mom?In Episode 315 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Ganttintroduces a term you haven't heard yet but won't be able tounsee once you do: CinderFellas. Men unconsciously seeking awoman to mother them — not love them, not partner with them.And before anyone gets defensive: this isn't about shaming men.This is about a dependency dynamic that both people create,and both people can change.In this episode, Brianne covers:— Why this isn't a masculine problem — it's a dependency problem,and it can happen in any relationship, including same-sex couples— How the "CinderFella" dynamic forms: society teaches boys howto build careers but never teaches them emotional intellect,so they grow into adulthood still searching for someone toprovide emotional containment— The irony at the center of it all: the more she mothers him,the less masculine he becomes — and the more masculine shebecomes. Nature hates a vacuum.— How this becomes The Fantasy Loop™: both people invest inthe potential of the relationship instead of the reality —he's fantasizing about eventually being rescued, she'sfantasizing about eventually being able to fix him— The questions every man needs to ask: Where am I outsourcingmy responsibility? Where am I waiting to be motivated? Wheream I expecting my partner to regulate emotions that belong to me?— The questions every woman needs to ask: Where am I over-functioning? Where am I rescuing? Where have I become hismother instead of his partner?— Why rescuing and supporting are not the same thing — and whyrescuing someone from discomfort actually weakens them— What real love actually is: not built on who needs who, buton two people who can stand on their own and still chooseeach other every day— Concrete first steps for both partners — starting tonightThis episode is going to hit some nerves. That's the point.The thing that triggers us often reveals exactly where weneed to grow.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Further reading: https://elephantartgallery.com/blogs/meet Desmond Morris with his favorite Congo painting: Peter/Pierre Brassau and some of his paintings: The so-called donkey painting, and I described it wrong in the episode: Pockets at work: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Back in the early days of the podcast I did an episode about animal musicians, which for a long time was my favorite episode. Today let's visit a similar topic, animals who are visual artists. Back in the 1950s through the 60s, researchers studying how humans make art studied monkeys and apes who were taught how to use a brush and paints. The studies caught the public's fancy and it became something of a fad to own a piece of art created by an animal—whether it was a monkey or ape, an elephant, or some other animal. One of the earliest big name animal artists was a chimpanzee named Congo. Zoologist Desmond Morris, who was studying creativity in apes and humans, and who was also an artist himself, offered Congo a pencil and paper when he was two years old in 1956. Congo enjoyed drawing and especially liked to draw circles. When Morris eventually gave the chimp paints, Congo was even more enthusiastic. But while he was considered a novelty, he only had one art exhibition while he was alive, a 1957 event arranged by Morris. It wasn't until 2005 that the remaining paintings were exhibited, along with the art of some other apes, and some of them sold for thousands of dollars. A new exhibit appeared in December of 2019 in the Mayor Gallery in London. One interesting thing is that Morris worked with several apes to see how they drew and painted, but only Congo showed enthusiasm and skill for art. Congo died of tuberculosis in 1964 when he was only ten years old. Also in 1964, a French avant-garde artist named Pierre Brassau exhibited four of his paintings at an art show in Sweden. No one knew who Brassau was, but his paintings were critically acclaimed—except for one critic who wrote, “Only an ape could have done this.” Ahem, yes. That is correct. The artist turned out to be a West African chimpanzee named Peter who lived in a zoo in Sweden. The whole thing started with a Swedish journalist who apparently wasn't much of a fan of modern art. The journalist persuaded a zookeeper to give Peter a canvas, paints, and brush. At first Peter just ate the paint, but eventually he started making marks on the canvas. The journalist ultimately chose four of the paintings and submitted them to the exhibition under the name Pierre Brassau. One of the paintings sold for the equivalent of about $750 today. But animal artists making modern art isn't limited to the 1950s and 60s. In 1905 a painting by an unknown artist, J.R. Boronali, went on display in a Parisian salon. It didn't cause any kind of stir, though, because it was nothing special, until 1910 when word got out that the painting had been made by a donkey. According to the story, an art critic tied a paintbrush to the donkey's tail and fed the donkey carrots, which made it wag its tail, which dabbed paint on a canvas. I've seen the painting, though, and it seems clear that a human artist prepped the canvas by slapping a coat of background paint on it that resembles a red sea and blue sky. There are some dabs and blobs of paint over that in yellow and red, presumably from the donkey. In this case, of course, the donkey wasn't trying to paint a picture and didn't even know what was going on behind it, just that it was getting lots of carrots. An avant-garde Russian school of art named itself The Donkey's Tail in 1912 as a result, though, so that's pretty neat. More recently, a capuchin monkey named Pockets has become a big-name artist in the animal world. Pockets was donated to a Canadian animal sanctuary after his owner finally realized that capuchin monkeys are wild animals and don't actually make very good pets. One of the volunteers at the sanctuary gave Pockets the nickname Warhol because of his white hair, which reminded her of the artist Andy Warhol. That gave her the idea to give Pockets some paints and see what he would do with them. It turns out that Pockets really likes to paint. In 2011 the sanctuary held an exhibit of his paintings to help raise money, and since then his paintings have been exhibited in art shows around the world. He's collaborated with a human artist, who basically paints something and then gives the canvas to Pockets to add to it. His art recently appeared on the cover of an album released by a member of Depeche Mode too. Not all animal artists are apes or monkeys, though. Bini the Bunny stars in a lot of videos where he plays basketball, dances, plays the guitar, and does a lot of other things you would not expect a bunny to do. He also paints. Bini, of course, has been trained to make certain movements, including picking up a paintbrush in his mouth and moving it upward with the paint-covered bristles sometimes touching a canvas, but sometimes not. Bini isn't choosing what paint colors to use and doesn't even really look at the canvas while he's working. He's cute, but he's not making art spontaneously the way Pockets and his predecessors do. Elephants also make art, holding a paintbrush with the tip of the trunk. The most famous elephant artist was named Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona in the United States, although she was born in Thailand in 1973. When her keepers saw her using a stick to draw in the dirt, they gave her painting supplies to see what she would do with them. Ruby enjoyed painting, choosing her colors carefully, and some of her paintings sold for as much as $25,000. Ruby died from complications of a failed pregnancy in 1998, sadly. So many artists die young. Sometimes you'll see videos of elephants painting a picture of an elephant, but these aren't spontaneously created. The elephant has always been taught to make the same brush strokes, and sometimes the training is cruel. An authentic elephant painting looks abstract, with lines and dots that the elephant places in a shape it finds pleasing, not to resemble something specific. This is the same with ape and monkey artists too. If you listened to the episode about animal musicians, you will probably remember the Thai Elephant Orchestra. Well, the same conservation center that hosts the elephant orchestra also has some elephant artists. The Elephant Art Gallery sells paintings made by various of the elephants who live in the sanctuary. They're allowed to choose their own paints and decide if they want to paint at all that day. Elephants who don't show interest in learning to paint don't have to try, and instead get to do different activities. The main difference between human art and art made by non-human animals is that humans naturally create representational art without being taught. Little kids draw wobbly stick people with big smiles and no one has to show them how. Humans can make abstract art, of course, but a skilled abstract artist chooses colors, textures, and patterns carefully to invoke a feeling in the people who look at the finished painting. This is different from a little kid finger-painting who is just having fun making a mess, although of course you can make art with finger paints too. Animals never create representational art spontaneously, and we can't know if their choice of colors, textures, and patterns is intended to invoke a particular feeling because we can't ask them. (I mean, we can ask them but they wouldn't understand the question and we wouldn't get an answer.) But it does seem obvious that animals who enjoy painting and who make deliberate marks on paper or canvas are taking pleasure from the process of creation. And when you come right down to it, that's the most important thing about making art. Finally, you may remember the court case about the monkey selfie from 2014. Nature photographer David Slater was taking pictures in a nature reserve in Indonesia when he stepped away from his camera, which was set up on a tripod. A Celebes crested macaque monkey investigated the camera and ended up taking a number of photos, one of which was a selfie that became almost instantly famous online. Slater tried to claim copyright to get paid for the photograph as it became more and more popular. In August of 2014 the United States Copyright Office decided that the owner of camera equipment can't claim copyright for a photo taken by an animal. Neither can the owner of an animal who takes a photograph or otherwise produces artwork. Only a human can hold copyright, but if the human doesn't actually create the art, they don't get the copyright. Hey, this would be a great day to make a drawing or a painting! Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

For centuries, the Arab and Muslim worlds led humanity in scientific discovery, establishing a culture where faith served as an inspiration rather than an obstacle to empirical research. The conversation with astrophysicist Dr. Nidhal Guessoum explores that profound intellectual legacy, from the systematization of algebra and breakthroughs in optics to the creation of the world's first dedicated astronomical observatories. Dr. Guessoum bridges the gap between this historical Golden Age and the challenges facing modern science education in the region. He addresses the perceived friction between contemporary scientific theories, such as evolution and cosmology, and religious tradition, advocating for a complementary framework that distinguishes the how of the physical world from the why of human meaning. By befriending modern science and returning it to a central place in culture, the discussion outlines a path for a qualitative new renaissance in Arab and Muslim scientific production. 0:00 Introduction 1:39 Diagnosing Science Education in the Arab World 4:07 Quantitative Growth vs Qualitative Challenges 8:41 The Importance of the Scientific Process 10:20 Reconciling Islam and Science 11:59 Understanding the Nature of Science and Religion 13:17 Inspiration from Historical Figures 15:22 Navigating Friction in Evolution and Cosmology 20:51 The Harmonization of Reason and Revelation 22:24 Distinguishing the How from the Why 23:58 The Role of the Human Subject in Science and Faith 25:58 Secular Ethics and the Islamic Intellectual Tradition 29:21 The Peak and Decline of Arab Muslim Scientific Production 30:33 Major Contributions: Algebra, Optics, and Medicine 34:55 History of Astronomical Observatories 38:38 Stagnation vs the European Scientific Revolution 45:51 Prospect of a New Arab Scientific Renaissance 49:30 Measuring Scientific Productivity 52:15 Befriending Modern Science for the Youth 57:31 Recommendations for Life-Long Learning   Nidhal Guessoum is an Algerian astrophysicist and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the American University of Sharjah, UAE. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at San Diego, and spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. His research spans gamma-ray astrophysics, positron-electron annihilation, gamma-ray bursts, and crescent visibility and the Islamic calendar. He has published many articles and several books on science, education, and Islam, including Islam's Quantum Question (IB Tauris, 2011) and The Young Muslim's Guide to Modern Science. He has lectured at Cambridge, Oxford, Cornell, and Wisconsin-Madison, and has appeared on Al-Jazeera, BBC, NPR, France 2, and Le Monde. In 2020, he was named among the Top 100 most influential leaders in space exploration by Richtopia, and in 2018 was ranked 22nd among top Arab thought leaders by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute.   Connect with Nidhal Guessoum

When you start studying a group of plants, you never know what you are going to find. Sometimes it's important insights into pollination and seed dispersal. Other times it's how the uplift of mountain chains shapes wetlands and rivers. These are the kinds of discoveries that drive Dr. Ana Bedoya to study the riverweeds of the family Podostemaceae. These extreme aquatic plants are fascinating in the own right while also having a lot to teach us about a variety of scientific disciplines.

As many of you know, I went on my first diet when I was 13 years old. It was Weight Watchers and it shifted how I viewed my body for a decade. I saw it as something weak and that I could control. It would take years of nutritional, mind, and body studies to realize my body was never the enemy I was taught to see it as. I sometimes wonder how things might have been different if I had learned as a kid and teenager how to interact with my body and food from a place of trust. I eventually would see a nutritionist when I was twenty years old and it was she who told me sometimes you will overeat and sometimes you may undereat but when you zoom out over a month you'll see that your body got the nutrition it needed. Learning this bodily trust at a younger age might have offered a framework for how to safely land inside of my body rather than constantly leaving it. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with The Holistic Kids, four brothers on a mission to educate and empower kids from the inside out, about: Their journey to learning more about holistic healthDiscovering the impact of food on their health and wellbeingTheir revolutionize acronymThe importance of mindfulnessHow they have navigated technology and social media when everyone around them is using it more and moreThe role of nature, stress management, and play in healthYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/4-teens-on-a-mission-to-revolutionize-teen-healthI found it fascinating to hear from four teens about what they're noticing about what it is like to be a teenager these days. So whether you're in the process of supporting a teenager or remember what it was like to be a teen, this episode will give you a peek into what the younger generations are currently navigating. Hope you enjoy it!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with The Holistic Kids: Book: The Teen Health Revolution: https://amzn.to/43xeeyKWebsite: https://theholistickidsshow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistickidsshow/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

We would love to hear from you!!! When grief feels like an unending chapter, how do you find space for joy and purpose again? In this heartfelt episode, Angie and Aric share their raw journey through loss, love, and the delicate art of balancing grief with everyday life. They explore the profound ways horses, family moments, and small acts of connection serve as healing anchors, even amidst the heaviness of grief.You'll discover how horses mirror human emotions and become an unexpected source of comfort and remembrance after loss. Angie reflects on the significance of simple, intentional moments — a phone call, a shared coffee, or a ride at the barn — as vital ways to nurture resilience. They break down the emotional challenge of letting go, especially as their kids grow and life continues to move forward, often in ways we don't anticipate.This episode dives deep into the layers of grief that don't ever truly fade, and why “moving on” isn't about forgetting but learning to live with the void while still celebrating life. You'll hear real insights on handling the complexities of parenting in the shadow of loss, the importance of community, and intentionally creating lighter, more joyful seasons—even in the midst of sorrow.If you're navigating grief or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and practical perspective on what it means to heal without rushing the process. Angie and Aric remind us that it's okay for the journey to be nonlinear, and that the small, meaningful moments are what anchor us through the heaviness.Perfect for anyone facing loss, overwhelmed by life's surprises, or seeking practical ways to balance grief with living fully. Tune in and find comfort in knowing you're not alone—and that healing often comes through the quiet, intentional acts of love and resilience.Thank you for listening!

New month means new theme with this month's theme being, "Over the river and through the woods to death's door we go" where I will focus on horror movies set within the forest/woods. Starting the month of June off with slasher flick, 2024's "In a Violent Nature" with guest Chris Brunner! The Mistress of the Menagerie and Chris discuss childhood trauma, subverting our expectations of horror movies, and the human psyche (id, ego, and superego). Come check it out!

What about Fate? Control over one's destiny? The illusion of control over one's destiny? Causality? And technology? Huh? Your 35+ year Tarot and interweb-experienced guide T from Burning Tarot is uniquely positioned to take you through these fascinating questions, plus, she is the kind of person who can't write the phrase "uniquely positioned" without snickering snarkily.The nature walk and blathery woo-woo chitchat here in Central Oregon forest will cover all this and more. Oh yes. Maybe even our good (eyeroll) friend AI, artificial intelligence, LLMs, etc.T from Burning Tarot - Tiffany Lee Brown - offers astrology and Tarot readings and whatnot, at tiffanyleebrown.com.

Au-delà des risques, des nuisances, des éradications et autres nettoyages par le vide, BSG dévoile tout ce qu'on ne t'a jamais dit, appris sur les muridés (la famille des rats, souris, mulots et autres campagnols), ces pique-assiettes qui squattent nos maisons depuis des millénaires.Les connais-tu vraiment ?_______Les Rats, Souris, Mulots et Campagnols sont rassemblés dans la famille des Muridés, qui rassemble à elle seule la moitié de l'ordre des rongeurs : 1200 espèces sur plus de 2000 (1 espèce mammifère sur 3 est un rongeur). Certains "commensaux" se sont invités à la table humaine depuis l'aube de l'humanité, d'autres sont sauvages. Qui sont Mickey, Minnie, Jerry, Speedy Gonzales, Bernard, Bianca, Algernon, Célestine,  Ratatouille, Stuart Little, sans oublier celle qui récupère les dents sous les oreillers et cette autre souris, verte, qui court dans l'herbe… au naturel ?_______On dit souvent qu'un Renard consomme de 2 à 6000 micromammifères par an, surtout des campagnols. Ils sont donc vitaux pour l'équilibre écologique des milieux. Les booms et les crashes des populations de campagnols (tous les x années) sont bien connus des écologues et des naturalistes. Toute la chaîne alimentaire est affectée, puisque les populations de prédateurs dépendent directement de la ressource en proies._______Hélène Dupuy est spécialiste des micromammifères, et membre de la SFEPM, la Société Française pour l'Étude et la Protection des Mammifères.Pour retrouver et écouter facilement  les 16 épisodes de la série "Micromammifères", tapez simplement "Baleine + Dupuy" ou "Baleine + micromammifères" dans vos applis d'écoute._______

En majorité des rongeurs tels que les Rats, Souris, Mulots et Campagnols. Mais cette appellation - qui n'est qu'une convention de naturaliste - concerne aussi ceux qu'on appelait autrefois les insectivores (Hérissons, Taupes, Musaraignes), ainsi que l'Écureuil et les gliridés (Loir, Lérot, Muscardin).En gros, ce sont toutes les petites bêtes à faible espérance de vie, autour de 2 ans en général, et au taux de reproduction élevé. Ils sont la proie de prédilection de nombreux prédateurs, la ressource la plus abondante et la plus courante._______Hélène Dupuy est spécialiste des micromammifères, et membre de la SFEPM, la Société Française pour l'Étude et la Protection des Mammifères.Pour retrouver et écouter facilement  les 16 épisodes de la série "Micromammifères", tapez simplement "Baleine + Dupuy" ou "Baleine + micromammifères" dans vos applis d'écoute._______

Tonight's guest, Kevin Bennage, had his Dogman encounter in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, about 2 miles from home. His encounter left him shaken to the core. He was so rattled by the experience, he didn't sleep a wink that night, when he got home. For some time, after he had that experience, he suffered from frequent night terrors. To this day, he still refuses to head into the woods by himself. We hope you'll tune in and listen to Kevin chronicle what happened, the night he had his encounter, on Werewolf Road.To check out the Nature's Darkest Podcast, and we hope you will, please visit… https://open.spotify.com/show/3RkmDoPe1uO3ybZ3YtTrSBIf you'd like to visit the Nature's Darkest Podcast Facebook Page, please visit…https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066693849024If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

Co-presented with Pt Reyes Books Join Host Susan Grelock Yusem in conversation with David George Haskell to talk about his new book, How Flowers Made Our World: The Story of Nature's Revolutionaries (Viking). In this exquisite exploration of the role flowers played in creating the world we know today, David observes, smells, and studies flowers such as magnolias, orchids, and roses, as well as fascinating but less celebrated flowers such as seagrasses and tea. Through radical genetic flexibility, flowers turned past environmental upheavals into opportunities for renewal. This inventiveness allowed them to build and sustain rainforests, savannahs, prairies, and even ocean shores. Looking to the future, flowers offer us lessons on resilience and creativity in the face of rapid environmental change. We need floral creativity, beauty, and joy more than ever. How Flowers Made Our World combines lyrical writing, sensual exploration, and the latest in scientific research to explore some of the most consequential life forms ever to have evolved, showing how our planet came to be and how it thrives today. *** The New School is Commonweal's learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world.

What if the most dangerous spiritual practice isn't the one that looks dark and dangerous, but the one that looks peaceful, loving, and full of life? In this profound episode of the Meditation Podcast, we sit down with Tom Snow, a man who has spent 56 years navigating the complex intersections of faith, healing, and spiritual deception. From a terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16 to hearing the audible voice of God and witnessing a miraculous healing that defied medical science, Tom's story is one of radical transformation. We dive deep into the "greatest masquerade" in spiritual history, the difference between religious legalism and a true relationship with the Divine, and how to distinguish the "still small voice" from the many deceptive whispers in the spiritual realm. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to your own sovereignty, Tom's insights offer a roadmap for finding the peace that truly passes understanding.     ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Welcome & Introduction to Tom Snow   1:16 Tom's Story: A terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16   2:02 The Weight of Guilt: Believing he caused his mother's cancer   3:15 Visions of Eternity: Seeing life continue without him   4:00 The Audible Voice of God: "I love you" and a promise for the future   5:10 A Brother's Transformation: The gospel message after an LSD trip   6:24 The Chopper and the Hell's Angels: A radical turn toward darkness   8:16 The Grand Canyon Plan: A 16-year-old's plan for revenge and suicide   9:53 The Bubbling Up: Feeling the presence of God for the first time   11:41 The Miraculous Healing: A football-sized tumor melts in 24 hours   13:22 56 Years of Walking: Moving beyond organized religion and denominations   14:35 The Occult's PR Team: Why deception often looks like light   16:13 The "Checkmate the Matrix" Event: Finding solutions in community   25:57 The Names of the Disciples: Roman influence and Hebrew roots   27:11 Neither Jew nor Greek: Spiritual equality in the anointing   29:03 The Denomination Trap: Why 47,000 splits don't equal one bride   30:14 Hollywood vs. Reality: Debunking myths about demons and holy water   36:31 The Peace that Passes Understanding: The ultimate proof of God's presence   43:26 The Asbestos Connection: The tragic story behind Tom's mother's cancer   45:56 The Guilt of the World: Why Tom initially refused to seek help   58:26 The "PayPal" Achievement: How people are bilked for spiritual milestones   60:45 Psychedelics and Ayahuasca: Seeing connections vs. financial exploitation   61:42 Distinguishing the Voices: How to hear the true and living God   65:21 Don't Let Him Win: A powerful prayer for those facing suicidal thoughts   68:42 Nature's Golden Fire: Tom's mission to provide salt-free, sugar-free food   71:31 The 280 Million Americans: Why healthy food is a life-and-death issue   72:40 Where to Find Tom: JustToBeClear.com and his books   73:42 Outro: RoyCoughlan.com and the Meditation Podcast    

The platypus is one of the most unusual animals on Earth. This episode explores the strange combination of traits that make the platypus so distinctive, from its duck-like bill and webbed feet to its ability to lay eggs despite being a mammal. Along the way, you'll hear about its discovery, unique biology, venomous spurs, electroreception, and the many ways this remarkable animal challenged scientists' understanding of the natural world. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

Calling someone an “animal” means they're less than human – not worthy of respect, rights, or even of life itself. But in truth — and in biological fact — human beings ARE animals. Scientists continue to find that intelligence and what we call “consciousness” appear to saturate all of nature. Clearly it's high time to think differently about just what it means to be an animal. Can we know what it's like to be other-than-human? How can we see into the minds of animals? Visionary naturalist, author and conservationist Carl Safina says that the first step is paying attention and observing. And, he suggests, if we had humility, we'd have everything.
