1. Ancient Interpretations of Mars, Cosmology, and the Roots of Astronomy. Matthew Shindell examines how ancient civilizations viewed Mars, often anthropomorphizing it or seeing it as a communicator of heavenly will. The Mayans, observing Mars's bright appearance during opposition and subsequent retrograde motion, depicted it in the Dresden Codex, which archaeologists call the "Mars beast." In Han and Qin Dynasty China, Mars was associated with omens of disaster like warfare and famine. The meticulous record-keeping and predictive mathematics developed by Mesopotamian astronomer-astrologers, in their search for omens, led to what some historians call the "birth of science." The classical Greek model, exemplified by Ptolemy, posited an Earth-centered universe. However, Mars posed a specific challenge: its retrograde motion was difficult to explain within the accepted Aristotelian physics of perfect circular motion.

Neighbors don't necessarily become friends, but Alex and I have gotten to know each other through family hangouts and working together on the board of our co-op building. I think of myself as someone who has a lot of energy, but from what I could tell, Alex is at another level. In addition to being a dad and working as a software engineering manager at Meta, Alex is the unofficial engineer-in-residence for our building; serves and was recently elected as Chair for Community Board 7, the community board that represents our portion of the Upper West Side; volunteers as a NYPD Auxiliary Police officer; and owns several side hustle businesses, including a direct to consumer shoe company, Skippies. And so I've wanted to have him on the show for a long time to ask him essentially one question: how do you do it? Where do you get the energy, motivation, mindset to do all the things that you're doing?And then more recently, Alex went through surgery for cancer. I was worried about him and his family, and then a week or so later, he was back, almost like nothing happened. Observing this from the great distance of the apartment next door, this gave me one more question to ask him: how are you really doing?

Welcome to Day 21 of our October mindfulness journey. Today, Nieta guides us through a powerful practice of observing emotions noticing what arises in the mind and body without judgment or labeling. This exercise is best practiced in real-time, when a strong emotion surfaces. Whether joy, frustration, sadness, or excitement, the invitation is to simply observe and allow, rather than react. This builds equanimity the ability to remain steady and present, no matter what arises. With just one day left, you're almost at the finish line! Thank you for being here, for showing up, and for practicing together.

Today, Neil reflects on the challenges of guest communication and how he revamped his own messaging using AI tools to make it more concise and engaging. He discusses the importance of continually improving hosting practices by learning from other hosts, highlighting a fellow superhost's effective messaging strategy that combines automation with a personal touch. Neil also shares practical tips on enhancing guest experiences, such as the innovative use of smart locks and room amenities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Utilise automated messaging features on platforms like Airbnb to streamline communication with guests. This can save time and ensure that important information is conveyed efficiently. Incorporate personalised elements in your messages, such as using the guest's name and specific details from their booking. This creates a more tailored experience, even when automation is used. Simplify communication by making instructions shorter and more visually appealing. Using tools like ChatGPT can help condense messages without losing essential information. Observing and learning from other successful hosts can provide valuable insights and inspiration for improving your own hosting practices and property setup. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes we become so fixed in our ways that we don't continually question what we're doing with a view to improvement." "I thought it was rude not to book an Airbnb when I go away for a business trip." "You can't make sure that attendees read the instructions you send them. There will always be a percentage of people who won't even look at the instructions." "The website will fill in the blanks with information from the booking details." "Take inspiration from others and be deliberate in questioning what you do yourself."

Thank you for being such a beacon of light and strength for women around the world.  You were born a Queen.  A divine, regal being of light. Born with incomprehensible strength, wisdom and beauty. Full of grace and love. There may be times when you forget,  You feel unsure,  Or knocked down by life. Just put on your crown, beautiful, and you'll be reminded of who you are at your core. Who you are just because you were born. You are a Queen. So close your eyes and come inside, As you settle your body. Tuning into its gentle noises and rhythms. Becoming aware of this present moment and how special it is in its ordinariness. Observing yourself sitting here, Eyes closed, Belly expanding and contracting with your slow, easy breathes.

Honor yourself, And breathe… PAUSE… You are a Queen. A woman who has been born into greatness, Who has been bestowed with the privileges of living this life, Of feeling deeply the happiness and the sadness that it can bring. Of being completely floored by the heaviness of its challenges, Of being off-kilter and far away from your center, And still having the ability to find your way home. You are a woman whose royalty does not make you better than or less than others, But rather lives and evolves within your soul, And easily recognized the Queens all around you. This life is yours to make, This royal power is yours to take. All you have to do is put on your crown, beautiful, And claim it.

Ori Goldberg, an independent analyst and specialist in Middle Eastern Studies, analyses the profound militarisation within his country, Israel, that involves the “desensitivisation as to the very existence of Palestinians as human beings” such that Israelis themselves know nothing about Palestinians, resulting in the only permissible history of Israel being that of the Jewish narrative. Covering the deeply ideological and historical “zero-sum game” whereby Israelis are uniquely allowed access to the narrative of victimisation, Goldberg explains the refusal of Israelis to see the humanity of Palestinians, remarking, “If they are acknowledged as full-fledged humans, then there is something wrong with us, there is something that undermines our right to live here.” Observing how the desensitisation of Israelis to Palestinians functions, Goldberg claims that Israelis do not possess the language to describe Palestinians “except as a threat” in the second order; however, Israeli's first order of understanding the Palestinian is that of “nothingness” where Palestinian deaths “don't even register.” Assessing the greatest weakness of Israel—that it does not register the reality of Palestinians—Goldberg describes how a member of Knesset stated that the only health risk facing Gazans is “obesity,” noting, “That is not how you want to talk about a people who actively, consciously want to vanquish—it's how you talk about a people whose existence seems like a fantasy to you to begin with.” The fact that Israel attacks at will and kills indiscriminately, Goldberg asserts, is not significant in terms of its strategic power. To the contrary, Goldberg suggests that Israel's main weakness, despite its aggression, is that it has alienated even its closest allies while also coming very close to being a failed state. Suggesting that Israel can only be saved through a “strategic implosion” that will ultimately shape its “response and its willingness to accept externally imposed positions,” Goldberg confirms that the light on the horizon is that vast majority of the world's population no longer cares about Israelis' feelings or their sense of victimhood, noting that Israel can blame itself for the position in which it has created for itself.

Isla MacGregor, a free speech and whistleblower advocate in Tasmania, Australia, relates the blowback she has experienced by gender-critical feminists for her criticism of the Israeli genocide in Gaza that is reminiscent of the very same type of behaviour enacted by the gender ideologues whom these feminists had heretofore criticised. Observing how the slurs and slogans that have been used by those feminists defending Israel's genocide of Palestinians are remarkably similar in both form and spirit to the slurs used against women's rights activists over the past two decades, MacGregor analyses these tactics as part of a wider war propaganda machinery. Summarising how many feminists whose “absolute ignorance of the history of Palestine and the Israeli conflict” functions in oppositional incoherence to these same feminists' critique of gender ideology, MacGregor discusses how gender ideology's complete absence of any hard evidence or rigorous peer-reviewed research is eerily similarly to Zionist and pro-genocidal beliefs: many people in these groups do not care about evidence or reality, nor do they care. MacGregor notes the irony in how many feminists who had long fought against the anti-reality, counterfactual discourse of gender ideology are now adopting an anti-factual posture when it comes to Israel as they shut down other women who recognise the reality of the current genocide in Gaza, asking, “What did we learn from the trans rights debate?” Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

Episode Summary:In this deeply reflective and transformative episode, we dive into the fascinating experience of observing the two versions of ourselves: the unhealed self and the healed self. Alli opens up with personal stories and moments of self-awareness, sharing how she recognizes her emotional triggers and how each version of herself responds — one with reaction, the other with compassion.This conversation invites you to become the observer in your own life. How often are you operating from your unhealed version — the one driven by fear, habits, and unconscious patterns? And how often are you rooted in your healed self — the part of you aligned with peace, presence, and your higher wisdom?We explore how this journey of integration is at the heart of our collective evolution — stepping into the 5D frequency, the frequency of the New Earth. Living more from our healed selves means embodying our higher selves and consciously creating a life from love, awareness, and alignment. We also discuss the ways we sometimes slip back into our unhealed patterns, such as:    •    Binge eating    •    Drinking or substance use    •    Gossiping or negative self-talk    •    Repeating limiting habitsBut this isn't about judgment — it's about compassion and awareness. This episode is a reminder that every step toward integration is a step toward a more expansive, empowered version of you. Topics We Cover:    •    What it means to observe your healed vs. unhealed self    •    Personal stories of inner conflict and compassion    •    Recognizing emotional triggers and responding with awareness    •    Understanding 5D consciousness and New Earth energy    •    How old habits can pull us back into lower frequencies    •    Practical ways to anchor more deeply into your healed self This episode is for you if you're:    •    Curious about spiritual growth and inner healing    •    Seeking to understand your own emotional reactions    •    Wanting to live more in alignment with your higher self    •    Interested in 5D frequency and conscious living Wherever you are on your healing journey, know that awareness is the first step — and you're already on your way.Join us on all social platforms@soul.star.energy.collectiveWebsite:SoulStarEnergyCollective.comAllison & MandyIntuitive Teacher's | Healers Soulstarenergycollective.comInstagramThe Soul Star Podcast

When we try to “fix” life, sometimes it only breaks further. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha examine how our material solutions—cars, technology, medicine—can backfire when they stem from the impulse to control, not harmonize. Through the lens of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.13.44, Tagore's warning, and a margarine ad that tried to fool Mother Nature, this discussion reveals how true wisdom isn't about domination—it's about surrender, humility, and learning to live in harmony. What you'll take away: * Why control breeds chaos and how we get stuck in whack-a-mole fixes * The folly of “doing better than nature” — margarine vs. butter * Newton's insight: explanation is not origin * The meaning of sattva (contentment) vs. rajas (complication) * How Viṣṇu's all-pervading nature humbles our intellect * Observing the small (even just chickens) to glimpse the cosmos * Practical suggestions for aligning with nature instead of conquering it

Philipp Renner, Founder & CEO of Dr. Shiba, joins Jeremy Au to share his journey from a global childhood to building one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing pet wellness companies. He reflects on how eight years at McKinsey, the personal challenges of long COVID, and the limits of corporate consulting led him to take the leap into entrepreneurship. They discuss the realities of product market fit iteration and the decision to pursue a semi-bootstrapped model rather than a VC-funded growth path. Philipp also shares how his toughest teenage year in Shenyang shaped his resilience and why focus on what truly matters became his personal north star, guiding him as he built Dr. Shiba from functional supplement treats into a wellness ecosystem now serving millions of customers across Southeast Asia and the UK. 02:00 Childhood across Germany, China, and Singapore built resilience and cultural fluency: Philipp recalls being the only foreigner in Chinese kindergarten, summers in Germany with extended family, and adapting to contrasting environments. 07:28 McKinsey years taught structure but came with high pressure: Philipp learned problem solving, investor communications, and performance systems, but he also faced unsustainable hours and a constant cycle of pressure. 14:23 Long COVID forced clarity and career reset: Contracting the virus in New York and suffering heart issues left Philipp fearful and uncertain, which led him to reassess his values and priorities in life. 18:54 Partnership revealed as a golden cage: Observing partners' constant travel, endless client demands, and limited upside compared to entrepreneurship convinced Philipp to leave consulting. 22:21 Transitioning to founder life meant unlearning: Moving from slide decks to execution, Philipp raised funds, managed co-founder conflicts, and worked from a Manila coffee shop with no salary while building Tyger Brands. 27:36 Product market fit narrowed focus to Dr. Shiba: Starting with three consumer brands, Philipp and his team doubled down on the pet supplies line that scaled fastest, allowing the others to fade. 31:32 Bravery defined by survival in Shenyang: At 16, Philipp lived through minus 30 winters, two-hour commutes, and forgotten Chinese in an industrial city, which tested and built his resilience.  Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/philipp-renner-brave-brand-leap Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts

QUOTES “So I think the best environments that I've been in, they have constant feedback loops between staff members and also players where they have debrief in forms of feedback surveys or a lot of conversations with players about what they need” “if you're in an international team environment with camps, for example, at the end of each camp with Ireland, we would survey the players and it was very successful, we're going to do this debrief and we're going to see the trends” "What are the non-negotiables for us as coaches, but also what are the things that we will allow the players to have more freedom, more creativity with and allow them to do different things in their training” "I think on top of everything that we talked about in terms of creating an environment for players to thrive, we also have to create our own environment for ourselves to then thrive. Because if we're not creating that, we are not going to be able to have mental space to create that environment for the players” SHOWNOTES 1) Ivi's journey from professional soccer to coaching elite female football. 2) Zooming out to observe environments that are conducive for players and staff to thrive. 3) The importance of frequent feedback loops in high performance, including reflecting on every session you coach. 4) Observing athletes and their interactions in their daily environment. 5) How speaking the same shared language as coaches impacts high performance. 6) Creating autonomy in playing groups and the practical tools to use. 7) How to implement an education process with athletes to improve culture. 8) The importance of staff having boundaries with players and protecting their time.

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to simply be aware of what we experience in the present moment. Observing, knowing, being mindful of what is, without trying to change the experience, without trying to achieve or attain anything. However, though we are aware and mindful, we do not 'engage' with what we observe. We don't react, we don't take it up, we see it as impemanent and not me, not mine, not self.

After growing up on a farm, Mollie Engelhart built a vegan restaurant empire in Los Angeles, which she planned to sell before COVID disrupted her plans. During the pandemic, she lost her income and spent time back on the farm, using nature's lens to question societal constructs like veganism. These experiences inspired her book, Debunked by Nature, where she shares her shift to truth-seeking based on natural cycles. She now lives on a Texas ranch, advocating for authentic living through storytelling. Mollie experiments with regenerative techniques on her Texas ranch, like mulching to combat oak wilt and bale grazing to boost soil health in caliche soils. She advocates for local food systems, resilient communities, and soil stewardship through her book and Epoch Times writings. She aims to inspire sustainable farming through her innovative practices, like propagating adapted trees and hedging crop plantings. In this episode, John and Mollie discuss: Shifting away from veganism and recognizing life-death cycles in food production. Building resilient communities through local food systems and family governance. Using deep mulching with juniper chips to reverse oak wilt in Texas' calcareous soils. Enhancing soil fertility through bale grazing, leveraging carbon to boost pasture growth. Adapting crop plantings, like late-season corn and sesame, to hedge against erratic weather and pests. Propagating locally adapted tree varieties to support regional farming success. Observing local ecosystems to inform management, avoiding blanket solutions for diverse soils.

The metaphor for our thoughts in this meditation is that of fish jumping ever so briefly out of the water before returning once again to the still waters below. The fish is rising to the surface before we even notice, just like our thoughts. It is when they come above the surface, into our conscious awareness, that we claim authorship and identity around them. That we create stories around them. What if, instead, we merely observed? This observation gives our minds a chance to rest and for greater peace to emerge. Want more meditations and early access?
