Podcasts about not seeing

Upbeat Neo Vinyl, Swimming Downstream - Underground House, EP11 Hi I'm Pete Burquette, also known as Diplomatic Enjoy, and you are listening to the Underground House Funk n Techno podcast. The 1st song is by Session Victim called Never Forget on the Delusions of Grandeur label. I'll let the music take over the controls, back in a litte bit ”Never Forget” by Session Victim on Delusions of Grandeur ”Can't Die, Soul Singer…” by Diplomatic Enjoy ”Lovelee Dae (Original)” by Blaze on Classic Music Company ”Higher African Rhythms” by Diplomatic Enjoy Lovelee Dae is a total house classic - is this the best house song of all time? This is the original mix not remastered or anything like that. There're been many mixes of this song, but it basically the original can't be improved on - bar the odd snippet edit I've done here, which doesn't really count as anything. There's just something about the melancholic singing, which beautifully juxtaposes the strident house beat beneath. This is a real 6am song, the sun coming up, grab the morning paper and a big dirty baguette sandwich. The song before this was Can't Die, Soul Singer by Diplomatic Enjoy and yes that is moi. I starting doing DJ mixes to begin with (not just a love of music, and because I was finding so much cool music) but also to white label try out my own tracks to see if I got it right. 11th episode of this podcast, I finally got two that fit the bill. This white label approach is how pretty much all house n techno gets exercised, sitting amongst the classics seeing how it behaves. If anyone has any feedback on the podcast at all feel free to DM me at diplomaticenjoy on Instagram, let me know what you think. The next track is another white label, not out yet called, Higher African Rhythms but I could well change the name by the time I release it… ”Trespassers” by Newworldaquarium on Delsin ”Higher” by Black Loops on Neovinyl ”Fresh” by Daft Punk on Soma/Virgin This is of course Daft Punk from their legendary Homework album released on Soma and Virgin. Soma is the original Scottish label run by the lads from Slam, a techno duo. Before that was Higher by Black Loops on Neovinyl, a label who seem defunct at the moment. I say come back! I love the mastering that the Neovinyl guy Baldo does, he's done all the good Black Loops ones I M O. And before that again you heard another house classic Trespassers by Newworldaquarium, which brilliantly samples Sergio Mendes and the New Brasil 77 - "the Real thing". All these songs and songs like em are on the ever revolving "Underground House" playlist , I think I'm calling it "Underground House (black loops, moodymann, soul, funk" … a catchy name you're totally gonna remember. Not helped by the fact that I change the name all the time. It's the one with people at a festival on the cover. I think in order to be found through search on Spotify you need to be famous, but I completely forgot my famous badge on my tent. I'll go back and get it now ”Casa(Axel Boman Dub Mix)” by Dinky on Crosstown Rebels ”Not Seeing Is A Flower” by Lone on Ancient Astronauts ”Verloren” by Computer Data on Lost Palms (a sub label of Shall Not Fade) This is Verloren by Computer Data on Lost Palms label, which is a sub-label of Shall Not Fade. This in itself is a sub-label of Will Totally Shrink in the Wash. featuring I'm gonna have to lose some weight if I'm gonna fit into that again. Before that was Not Seeing a Flower by Lone on Ancient Astronauts. See the flower people, see the flower. Unless you're allergic to that kind of thing, in which case, avoid the flower completely. And before that was Axel Boman's Dub Mix of Dinky's Casa. That was released on Crosstown Rebels. I'm pretty sure that the vocal sample was that of everyone's favourite sketchy uncle, Timothy Leary, who consumed enough acid in his time to become his own planet and currently orbiting the sun at 55,000 miles an hour. ”Back in the Days” by Coeo on Toy Tonics ”Street Disco” by Lux Experience on Masterworks Music ”Wan Poku Moro(Onur Ozer Remix)” by 2000 And One on 100% Pure This is the Onur Ozer Remix of 2000 And One's "Wan Poku Moro" on 100% Pure. Before that was Street Disco by Lux Experience on Masterworks Music. Black Madonna made this song her own (I think it was a Boiler Room mix), although I notice no-one seems to mention the people who actually wrote the song originally, which was of course originally Disco Party in the Street by Mastermind. I love their edit here, it's simple but very effective. It's actually hard to tell the difference. Before that was Back in the Days by Coeo on Toy Tonics. And the final song coming up is Feeling Good by Laurent Garnier and Chambray on Rekids. ”Feelin' Good” by Laurent Garnier and Chambray on Rekids I just noticed I've never asked anyone to subscribe. I never quite understood the please subscribe thing. If people want to subscribe, they know how to do that, they don't need me telling them to press the button! I don't mind either way. As long as I don't know it's all good. Otherwise it's like leaving a dog in a car with the windows rolled up. Us podcast hosts need your attention, leave those windows rolled down so we can stick our heads out the window. Till next time people, have a beautiful day!

Intro: Welcome to the podcast Interior Integration for Catholics  Interior Integration for Catholics brings to you in each episode the best psychological information essential for your human formation, knowledge that is fundamental in shoring up the natural foundation for your Catholic spiritual life.   In this podcast, we confront the tough questions we Catholics have in our day-to-day lives, we confront head on our struggles in the natural realm, the psychological difficulties that keep us from fully loving our Lord and our Lady in a deep, personal, intimate way.  And we deal with these difficult, demanding issues for one primary reason: to free you to love God our Father, Jesus our Brother, the Holy Spirit and Our Mother Mary more and more over time.   This podcast helps you focus inward on your interior integration -- to help you bring together the different parts of yourself into unity and harmony with God. 'Together, we are on a journey toward deep transformation in our mindsets, our heartsets and our bodysets, a radical transformation at the core of our being so that our souls can one day enter into contemplative union with God.  I'm clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski and I am here with you, to be your host and guide.   This podcast is part of Souls and Hearts, our online outreach at soulsandhearts.com, which is all about shoring up our natural foundation for the Catholic spiritual life, all about overcoming psychological obstacles to being loved and to loving God and neighbor This is episode 54, released on February 8, 2021 This is the sixth episode in our series on sexuality and the fourth one on masturbation.   And it is titled:  Masturbation Recovery Stories We're following up on our last three episodes, number 51, 52 and 53, which have all been about masturbation, the Top 10 reasons why Catholic men masturbate, the 10 common mistakes they make as they try to recover from masturbation and live chaste lives, and the 20 remedies for those 10 common mistakes.    we're getting into answers for Catholics who experience masturbation as a dead-end, as a failed promise, as an inadequate answer for their deeper needs and desires.  So today, we're pulling all the conceptual information together and we are going to do three things. First, We will briefly review the 10 common mistakes and the 20 remedies for those mistakes Second, will discuss how to make an individualized recovery plan for masturbation  Third, we will pull all the information together into the stories of Richard and Luis, who we introduced in episode 51 -- we will review their histories, look at the mistakes they made is trying to free themselves from masturbation, discuss how they made their individualized plans for recovery, and how they broke free from masturbation.   Review:   10 Common Mistakes that Catholics make in breaking free from masturbation: Considering masturbation as the primary problem. -- Gotta go deeper  Pursuing compartmentalization or fragmentation instead of interior integration  Going it alone  Using only the spiritual means  Having a Power spirituality or a macho spirituality  Passive Spirituality  The why for the change  Shaming the self for failures  The All or Nothing Trap   Failing to see the struggle with masturbation as a gift   20 Remedies for those mistakes Commit to finding the real reason, with God's help.   Bring God or Mary or a saint or your angel  into the search for the underlying causes  Committing to interior integration:   Interior acceptance of all parts, all desires, all impulses, all thoughts, all memories as real -- as part of reality.  Find a confidant with whom you can check in daily.   Daily.  Not just regularly.  Daily  Get to confession and address the spiritual dimensions.  Talk about it.  Spiritual Director, Confessor  Working toward Intimate relationship with God  Time with Friends -- being deliberate out it.  Therapists -- especially Catholic IFS-informed  therapist  Sexaholics Anonymous or other groups  Online groups -- like the Resilient Catholic Community  Embracing the parts that carry our powerlessness, smallness, neediness -- we need those things, they are essential for us to be small enough to approach God.  Those parts are precious   Focus on Humility.  Litany of humility.  Litany of Trust  Entering into relationship with God as a little child. Let the little children come to me.    St. Therese of Lisieux.  Serenity Prayer:   Pray it every day.  And listen.   Commit to doing what you can, even it seems like very little.  Remembering that as little children we can offer very little.  Exploring and discussing our motives with our trusted person.   Ask that person how he or she sees our motives.    Bringing those motives to prayer.  Lord that I may see.  Prayer of blind Bartimeus.  Domine ut vidiam.  really working with our internal critic.  Understanding the reasons for the shaming, the good that the critic seeks in that -- and helping that critic integrate with the rest of your system, under the leadership of your core self.  Perseverance.  It's normal to fall.  We are fallen human beings in a fallen world.  We need to get up.  Every time.  Seeking for how the struggle with masturbation is a gift.   Making a Plan All the above can be overwhelming-- Do I have to do it all?  First Overarching principle -- Work your plan out with someone else, someone you trust, someone that you sense is competent to help you.  This is vitally important, so you are not repeating mistake number 3, which is going it alone.  Talk it out with that person at length.  The whys and wherefores of each component of the plan.   Second Overarching principle Write out your plan.  It all becomes so much when you write it out.   Third Overarching principle --  take what is helpful for you in your plan and discard what is not.  Be flexible in your plan over time.   Fourth overarching principle -- build up your plan.  It make take time, build it up over time.  General trend over time -- general trajectory Week by week -- once you consolidate a part of your plan, add another part Fifth overarching principle -- adherence to the plan is your target.  Stay with the plan.  Much more certain than just having periods of abstinence from masturbation Review of Parts IFS by Richard Schwartz   IFS on the Self Self defined as the seat of consciousness  Self can be occluded or overwhelmed by parts  When self accepts and loves parts, those parts transform back into who they were meant to be  Self-led mind is self-righting.  self -- Active inner leader -- more than mindfulness  Parts find the relationship with the self very reassuring   Discussion of Parts Separate, seemingly independent little personalities each with its range of emotion, style of expression, abilities, desires, views of the world.  Modes of operating Orchestra model Focus is on integration.   Get forced into extreme roles -- attachment injuries and relational traumas   Three roles Exiles --  most sensitive -- become injured or outraged.  Threatens the system, external relationships Exploited, rejected, abandoned in external relationships Want care and love, rescue, redemption shame.  Need for redemption  Managers Protective, strategic, controlling environment, keep things safe  Obsessions. Compulsions, reclusiveness, passivity, numbing. Panic attacks, somatic complaints, depressive episodes, hypervigiliance.   Firefighters Stifle, anesthetize, distract from feelings of exiles  No concern for consequences  Binge eating, drug/alcohol use, dissociation, sexual risk taking, cutting   Parts can take over the person Like in Pixar Movie Inside Out -- anger taking over the control panel of the main character Riley  We call it blending.   Stories Fictional, composites.   These are simplified.  We will discuss three parts.  Usually there are 10-20 parts, sometimes up to 30.   Richard: Richard's History  Parts mapping -- this is the real story.   Church Man -- manager part, strong moral compass, who evaluates Richards' behavior.  Take off from the SNL Church Lady from the late 80s. God Image:  Demanding Drill Sergeant God, who never satisfied with Richard.  This demanding drill sergeant God demands perfection from Richard, and so Church Man is pushing Richard really hard to be good enough to earn God's love.  Prayer -- mostly rote, duty-based, not much of a relational connection with God. Assumption is that once he does enough, God might heal him from his sinful ways out of justice.  God will owe it to him.    Church Man really just wants God to not harm Richard, and be satisfied with the efforts.    Self-image -- Church Man sees Richard's other parts as undermining his self-improvement efforts, and placing Richard at risk of God's permanent rejection and disgust.   Fear:  Church Man fears that if Richard doesn't keep trying and growing, God will reject him permanently.   Good intention:  To motivate Richard to follow the rules of the Catholic Faith and become worthy of God's acceptance.  Absolutely no affairs.  No connections to other women.  Not repeating what Mom did.   Benefits:  Excellent quality control at work.  Very few mistakes.  Generally a lot of self-control   Means Used: Badgers Richard, cajoles him.  Carrot and stick.  Can be really hard on him, shames him, cuts him down Suppresses all other parts.  Doesn't trust them.  Wants to be the only part operating.   Harm done;  Unaware of how demoralizing he can be.   To Richard's other parts -- crushing burden of shame he creates.   And to others -- could be really critical to subordinates and his wife.   Seen as cold and rude to women at work -- Talk in the break room among the women was that he was chauvinistic.   Distant from daughters.   Needy Boy -- exiled part that is very insecure, burdened with unmet needs for maternal care  Developmental history Mom stressed with first child, not able to engage consistently -- some post-partum depression.  Mom not real regulated to begin with.  Unprepared for the demands of motherhood, and Mom had parts that resented both her husband and her son and the loss of her career.  Dad was a high-power attorney, dominated by a part that needed to win, needed to overpower and outmaneuver others and never be seen as weak.   God image:  Elitist Aristocrat God -- God doesn't need him, God doesn't know him, God is too good for him, too remote Not felt seen and known  Not felt safe and secure   Self Image -- I'm not good enough, lovable enough to gain God's attention.  I'm abandoned, alone in the world.  I'm not acceptable, he doesn't need me and he doesn't want me.  Yearning for redemption, someone, anyone to pay attention to him.   Need Boy's Fear -- I am starving, emotionally, relationally.  I need to connect and be cared for or I will die.   Not able to regulate affect.   Distractor -- firefighter part --  Great Fear:  Being utterly overwhelmed by the intensity of Needy Boy's pain. When Church Man isn't able to contain Needy Boy, Distractor leaps in to protect Richard's system from the intensity of Needy Boy's intense emotional pain Uses pornography as a primary way of distracting, diverting Needy Boy to a mom-like image.  Hope for redemption.  Calms things down.   Masturbates to distract from Needy Boy's pain.   Polarized with Church Man.   Doesn't think much about God, A Statue God image,  Of the top 10 reasons Catholic men Masturbate #1  Loneliness -- needing maternal and paternal care  #2  Insecurity  #6  Anger at wife   Richard's Plan  Of the 10 common mistakes #3 -- Going it alone  #4 Using only the spiritual means  #5  Power spirituality, building virtue  #8  Shaming the self  #10  Not seeing his struggle with masturbation as a gift     Richard's Recovery Luis  Luis' history Seminarian -- 2nd Theology  Deep devotion to God  Parents married, Dad distant, mom thinks he's a little autistic, not emotionally attuned   Very close enmeshed relationship with Mom Part of the reason for going to seminary -- no other men, can be mom's one and only  Experiences close relationships as fusion -- blending together.   Parts Mapping The Moral Theologian  -- intellectual part, very much concerned with right and wrong and appropriate behavior.   Deep admirer of St. Thomas Aquinas, his hero Unknowingly departs from the angelic doctor in his devaluing of the Passions Very distrustful of emotions, impulses, desires -- seeks a high-degree of self control Makes careful distinctions first and second moral acts inside him.   Strives for objectivity, rationality, intellectual understanding, finds safety and protection in that.   God image -- not one of Bill and Kristi Gaultiere's types.   God is very fair, very just.  Transactional, highly intellectualized view of relating with God.  Very suspicious of the Charismatic movement and dislikes most contemporary liturgical music and praise and worship songs.   Prays via lectio divina, appreciates the aesthetics of good liturgy, and loves to reflect on the beauty and order of Catholic teaching Uninterested in romantic relationships, finds safety in his friendships with other orthodox seminarians and faculty but hates all the heretical or perceived heretical elements he hears in class or reads about in pastoral theology classes.   Relates through a meeting of the minds and is cordial with others, but scans relationships to see if they might negatively impact his search for truth.   Very preoccupied with masturbation -- this is the one area that is disordered in Luis' life, the one thing that needs to be straightened out.  Only area of grave matter.    Self control is shattered.   Masturbation is very confusing for the Moral Theologian -- almost like altered states of consciousness, he hates the sense of losing control, and has come to hate aspects of his sexuality, with some desires to be asexual in order to simplify matters.  The Moral Theologian could understand it if Origin, as Eusebius claimed, castrated himself, but hoped that he didn't as many other historians arugued because self-mutilation is grave matter Little Husband -- exile.   Deep unmet needs for love and care from Mom. Enmeshed with Mom -- emotional incest.  Mom's unhappy marriage, seeking to get her relational needs met by Luis.  Little Husband was the part of Luis that Mom's protector parts exploited in an attempt to feel better about herself and to get her own needs met.   When Luis was a little boy, his Little husband part learned that if he listened to Mom's problems, if he reassured her, if he affirmed her, if he joined her in criticizing Dad as a poor husband and father, he would then get her attention and she would show him affection.  If he felt the way she did, if he mirrored her, if he fused with her, Mom would reward him with affirmation, and sometime she went over the top, covering his face with kisses and hugging him close and weeping, and telling him how much he meant to her, how important he was to her, how much she needed him, which was frightening to him, to see her so regressed.   But he couldn't break away from Mom or risk losing almost all his emotional connection, given that his father was distant and there were no other major relationships in his life.   Self-image:  Little husband saw himself as his mother's support, her emotional  refuge, her caregiver, her protector in a sense, her little husband.  He existed to serve her needs.  God-Image:  So Little Husband saw God as needy and kind of emotionally unbalanced, prone to rages and also to overwhelmingly intense displays of affection.  Little Husband had a Magic Genie God image.  He had to give God whatever He wanted for that affection, even if meant violations of boundaries, violations of dignity.  Doesn't want to displease Mom.  Doesn't want to be unfaithful to her, and to meeting her needs.  Recognizes the sacrifices she is making by allowing him to go to seminary.    Gladiator -- Exile Rebellious toward authority, feels he is enslaved by others parts who are subservient to Mom  Hates Mom's invasions and intrusions.  This part hates Mom, feels like identity is being stolen, hates being used.   Suppressed by the Moral Theologian from an early age -- Polarization --  because of the danger he represents in acting out  Willing to take huge risks because life as an oppressed slave is hardly worth living.   Robber God image -- God takes good things away from me Anger at God -- assumed God is like Mom.    Fear of God fusing with him.   Self-image:  I've got to grab on to any goods I can get. This part masturbates.   Of the Top 10 reasons why Catholic men masturbate #1 Loneliness, lack of relational connection  #3 Cry for help (single symptom presentation)  #4  Anger at God  #5 Regulating distance from God -- preventing enmeshment   Luis' Plan  The Common Mistakes #1  Masturbation as the primary problem  #2 Compartmentalization --> fragmentation  #7 The Why for the Change  #8 Shaming the Self  #9 The All or Nothing Trap  #10 Not Seeing the Struggle as a Gift.   Dr. Glafoderwalladan  -- recommendations

Avi and I discuss his career publishing more than 80 books since 1970, winning more awards than I can list, including the Newberry AND two Newberry honors. He tries to convince me writing is just a job and walks me through his process of writing intuitively. He talks candidly about his dysgraphia and gives excellent advice for writing historical fiction, including specifics about language and layering research in narrative. He even reads part of a brand new book he’s currently writing, premiering the passage for the first time anywhere exclusively on the Middle Grade Ninja podcast. Oh, and he tells me about the time he saw a ghost. Avi is part of a family of writers extending back into the 19th century. Born in 1937 and raised in New York City, Avi was educated in local schools, before going to the Midwest and then back to NYC to complete his education. Starting out as a playwright--while working for many years as a librarian--he began writing books for young people when the first of his kids came along. His first book was Things That Sometimes Happen, published in 1970, and recently reissued. Since then he has published seventy books. Winner of many awards, including the 2003 Newbery award for Crispin: the Cross of Lead (Hyperion), two Newbery Honors, two Horn Book awards, and an O'Dell award, as well as many children's choice awards, he frequently travels to schools around the country to talk to his readers. Among his most popular books are Crispin: The Cross of Lead, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Nothing but the Truth, the Poppy books, Midnight Magic, and The Fighting Ground. In 2008 he published The Seer of Shadows (HarperCollins), A Beginning a Muddle and an End (Harcourt), Hard Gold (Hyperion) and Not Seeing is Believing, a one-act play in the collection, Acting Out (Simon and Schuster).

October is here so time to gather around the campfire. With Halloween around the corner, we are highlighting a few spooky financial stories that have scary circumstances. These feelings typically bleed in to stock markets as well. October is often wrongly characterized as the worst month for people to invest. Primarily because people remember the big historical market drops that happen during October.  But scary moves for your portfolio aren't the only thing to fear in your financial planning. For all our listeners who love movies, you're in for a treat. We've picked 5 spooky financial stories that pair up with some classic Halloween movies. Listen in for some truly terrifying financial stories. Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees Remember Jack Nicholson’s classic movie, The Shining?  "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Finding a work-life balance is difficult for so many of us. We had a client that saved diligently over a hard-working career. While building an impressive savings for retirement, he put off vacations, opting for promotions up the corporate ladder. But once he was finally ready to retire and enjoy his savings, he was diagnosed with a nebulous nerve condition that required daily care and limited physical motor functions preventing him from enjoying his hard earned savings. While we can't prevent crippling medical conditions, we can build in balance to our financial plans. Understanding how your savings and spending will transform throughout your life helps you make more confident decisions while enjoying time with those most important to you. Seeing Something Others Can’t “I see dead people.” A now infamous quote from The Sixth Sense. This is because Haley Jo Osmond's character can see things others can’t.  Similar scenarios occur when life is full of busyness that blinds us to opportunities that could make a noticeable long-term differences. Instead, by surrounding yourself with people who can spot things you can't see, you set yourself up for new opportunities to bolster your financial progress. The back-door Roth provides a great example. You may think you make too much money to enjoy the benefits of a Roth IRA, but maybe you didn't have enough time to fully understand and follow through with it. How to Avoid the Blair Witch Scenario The Blair Witch Project is a frightening scenario about a group of friends that wander into the woods without a plan. They lose their map and this leads them into trouble. Don’t let this be you. If you don’t have a plan you can swerve off course and lose your way to retirement. Many pre-retirees lose sleep over not having enough money because they didn’t set spending limits. You need to have a plan in place and know how much you can afford to spend and how much to save. Do you have a specific and customized plan for your life and your retirement? Nightmares that Bring Confusion Some employees are confused about how best to handle employee income incentives. This is much like the people in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas who are confused when Christmas comes to Halloween Town. Many employees don’t have the time or expertise of how best to deal with RSUs, ESPPs, and Stock Options. Partly due to the tough decisions of when to exercise, sell or hold. So many tend to hold, where positions build and concentration risk grows. This is breeding ground for nightmare scenarios of holding too long and not diversifying. Listen to this episode to learn how to deal with the familiarity bias and ensure that all your financial eggs are not in one basket. Don’t Neglect to Invest in your Human Capital Ghostbusters 2 is a classic tale of reinvention. The Ghostbusters are forced to reinvent themselves after their business goes bust at the end of the first movie. But their is beauty in their resilience and how they trust in their expertise. This is a good metaphor for our own lives. It is important to invest in your own human capital and have the resilience to face negative events that can happen in your own life. If you continually improve your knowledge you will be able to bounce back from challenges and change the trajectory of your life. Investing in yourself will always bring a high return on your investment.
