A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever heard a great song or watched an incredible movie then afterwards learned the inspiration for it, and it made it all the more powerful? Years ago, Elise and I were in a little art shop in a mall. Among all the large and impressive art for sale, there was a fairly small oil replica of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers. So simple. Flowers in a vase. I walked out with that little framed painting for my office. Later I learned Van Gogh painted the original to display in a room to show his gratefulness for his friend, Paul Gauguin, who was moving in with him. The painting was more than just vibrant impasto colors of liberal oil paint. The paint was more than just a still life of top-heavy sunflowers. The painting was friendship, closeness, gratitude. Psalm 102 is a powerful song we can sing in the valley. It is a song of suffering held deeply in the heart of the singer. Not wanting this to be missed, the compilers of Israel's song book kept a short superscript before the lyrics. It is one of a kind. The superscript of 102 is the only one in Psalms which, according to Rolf Jacobson “describes a psalm as intended for a particular instance in a person's life.” Psalm 102 is Van Gogh's sunflower with the backstory of gratitude. This fifth penitential psalm is at first glance a moving song of sorrow and shadow. It is does not hide its suffering. But holding gently the superscript at the beginning brings a deeper resonance: “A prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the Lord.” There is a backstory. There is an affliction that has left the voice parched and in pain. This lament is sung from the little remaining, the last drops of oil in the widow's jar, the rasping voice of the thirsty soul. Like the sunflowers, it is a song for someone…and that someone is divine. He is enthroned on high. He is God Almighty. He is the eternal Father, merciful and compassionate. He is the Sovereign King, who builds and rebuilds. He is the Lord who hears our prayers sung in the darkness and responds with the radiance of hope.

Un soir de décembre 1888, sous une pluie battante, Vincent Van Gogh vit l'un des moments les plus sombres de son existence. À Arles, la ville semble silencieuse alors que Noël approche, mais dans la petite maison jaune, la tension est à son comble. Une énième dispute avec Paul Gauguin pousse l'artiste au bord du gouffre. Torturé par ses démons intérieurs, son esprit vacille entre douleur et folie. Après des semaines de conflits et d'incompréhensions, l'amitié entre les deux peintres s'effondre. Dans la nuit, Van Gogh, submergé par la détresse, s'apprête à commettre un geste irréparable. Devant son miroir, il s'automutile en se coupant une oreille, un acte qui marquera à jamais l'histoire de l'art et témoignera de la fragilité du génie.

Chapter 1 What's Noa Noa by Paul Gauguin"Noa Noa" is both a collection of writings and an artistic exploration by French artist Paul Gauguin, chronicling his experiences in Tahiti. Written in 1893, it highlights his quest for beauty, spirituality, and a return to primitive simplicity. Through vivid descriptions of the landscape and people, Gauguin reflects on the contrasts between Western civilization and the perceived Edenic state of Tahitian life. The text combines poetry and prose, interwoven with his thoughts about art, culture, and the essence of existence. Gauguin's work emphasizes the vibrant colors, exotic atmosphere, and sensuality of the island, portraying an idealized vision of paradise. While it serves as an artistic manifesto, "Noa Noa" also reveals the artist's struggles with his identity, showcasing the complex interplay between reality and Gauguin's romanticized interpretations.Chapter 2 Noa Noa by Paul Gauguin SummaryNoa Noa by Paul Gauguin: Summary Background: "Noa Noa" is a semi-autobiographical novel written by French post-impressionist painter Paul Gauguin, published in 1901. The work is a blend of travel narrative, art commentary, and personal reflections, detailing Gauguin's experiences in Tahiti, where he sought to escape European civilization and find inspiration for his art. Setting: The story is set in early 1890s Tahiti, a place that fascinated Gauguin for its natural beauty, cultural practices, and perceived primitivism. Here, he depicts the stark contrast between the lush landscapes of the island and the complexities of Western society. Narrative Structure: The book is presented as a series of interconnected fragments, exploring Gauguin's life, relationships, and artistic motivations during his time in Tahiti. He uses a poetic and impressionistic style to convey a dreamy, almost mystical perspective of the island and its people. Themes: The Quest for Authenticity: Gauguin's journey signifies a search for an authentic existence, away from the materialism and moral constraints of European civilization. He idealizes the simplicity and vitality of Tahitian life. Art and Nature: The artist's relationship with nature is a recurrent theme. When Gauguin describes the vibrant landscapes and cultural practices, he emphasizes how these experiences influence his artistic vision and creations. Colonialism: Through his reflections on Tahiti, Gauguin addresses the impact of colonialism, contrasting the innocence of the island's inhabitants with the exploitative actions of European powers. Identity and Exile: Gauguin grapples with his own identity as both an artist and a man in exile from society. His feelings of isolation inform his creative practice and philosophical musings throughout the text. Imagery and Symbolism: Gauguin's vivid descriptions are rich in color and form, using symbolism to enhance the narrative. He often incorporates local folklore, spirituality, and the natural world to reflect deeper human experiences and emotions. Conclusion: "Noa Noa" provides a unique insight into Gauguin's life as an artist and his complicated relationship with both the exotic Tahitian culture and his own background. It serves as a testament to his struggles, inspirations, and the profound impact of place on artistic expression, revealing not only an artist's journey but a cultural encounter shaped by differing worldviews.Chapter 3 Noa Noa AuthorPaul Gauguin was a French painter and one of the leading figures of post-Impressionism. He was born on June 7, 1848, in Paris, France, and died on May 8, 1903, in Atuona, French Polynesia. Gauguin is best known for his bold use of color and synthetist style that influenced modern art.

Em busca de Paul Gauguin e os anos de chumbo.

¿Cómo era vivir siendo mujer en un paraíso colonizado en el siglo XIX? ¿Y ser un niño esclavizado en la ‘moderna' Europa del siglo XVII? El colonialismo sigue presente en nuestros días y sus efectos sobre las comunidades sometidas también ha sido reflejado en el arte en los últimos siglos. Por eso, en este episodio, escuchamos a los protagonistas de dos cuadros de dos épocas diferentes, como Grupo familiar ante un paisaje, de Frans Hals, y Mata Mua, de Paul Gauguin. Además, contamos con Juan Ángel López, conservador y responsable de contenidos del museo, y la colaboración de la artista y activista Daniela Ortiz.

From her James Tait Black Memorial Prize-winning biography of Edvard Munch to her Duff Cooper Prize-winning book on Strindberg, and her celebrated Nietzsche biography, 'I Am Dynamite!', which received the Hawthornden Prize and The Times Biography of the Year in 2018. In her latest work, 'Wild Thing', Prideaux brings to life the vibrant and tumultuous journey of Paul Gauguin. From his privileged start in Peru to his rebellious adventures in France, she offers a nuanced view of Gauguin, celebrating his creative genius while not shying away from his flaws.

Did you know that: · Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"? · Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa? · Artemisia Gentileschi was tortured with thumbscrews to verify her testimony at her own rapist's trial? · Norman Rockwell's critics said his work would never be accepted as "high art"--and he agreed? These stories--and many more--shaped the work these artists left behind. In their art are lessons common to the human experience about the wonder and struggle of being alive: dreams lost, perspectives changed, and humility derived through suffering. Russ Ramsey will join us to dig into these artists' stories to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives. Each story from some of history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the Gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Pharisees and Scribes confront Jesus about his disciples not ritually washing hands before eating, Jesus confronts them with their ability to sacrifice the rules of God with man-made traditions in order to justify themselves.

There are lengthy, silent moments that lull your brain to sleep, but it is not boring, the mind stays engaged in a relaxing, drifting sort of way. I will be trying out more of these because it worked so well and is a nice change from the sleep meditations and music I usually use.“ Michael B. Audible One of the best. I listen every night to a "sleepy time " podcast. While my favorites are good, I admit I am getting a little bored with the same type episodes. I found this one by sampling several more. I love it and it is now my first choice! Voice is soothing, pace is perfect, background sounds are terrific and stories are great. Not just someone reading old classics. These stories are, as far as I can tell, unique. Gee, Audible

Several years ago, a book caught my eye, called "Lu Xun's Legacy". Published by the Muban Educational Trust, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation of woodblock art in China and located in London, England, it opened my eyes to Chinese woodblock prints. Reading the book, I realized how little I knew about printmaking, woodblock or otherwise, from China. All I really knew was that Japanese woodblock has roots within Chinese printmaking and I was curious as to how that transpired. Today, I speak with Senior Research Fellow at the Muban Educational Trust, David Barker. David's interests lie in the history and techniques of Chinese printmaking, having written a book on the subject in 2005 called "Tradition and Techniques in Contemporary Chinese Printmaking". David speaks to me about the history of printmaking in China, its techniques, and process. David discusses his time in the country, how prints evolved from the pre-modern (Tang and Ming Dynasties, for instance) into more modern times.

Art historian and Professor Griselda Pollock traces the memories of contemporary artist women like Sutapa Biswas, one of her students in the 1980s, and the entanglements in feminist, queer, and postcolonial thinking in art schools and universities. Griselda Pollock has long advocated for the critical function of contemporary art - and artists - in society. Whether paintings, drawings, or sculptures, these media can translate the traumatic legacies of colonialism, imperialism, and migration into visual form, and serve as refusals to forget - especially in our memory-effacing digital age. Born in apartheid South Africa, Griselda has lectured in global contexts; at the University of Leeds in the 1980s, she encountered Sutapa Biswas, a ‘force of nature' and one of the institution's first POC art students. She shares her experience of the two-way flows of teaching and learning. Drawing on stills from the artist's new film work Lumen (2021), and historic ‘Housewives with Steak-Knives' (1984-1985), she highlights both Bengali Indian imagery, and motifs of 17th and 18th century Old/Dutch Masters like Vermeer and Rembrandt - and why the artist ‘didn't need Artemisia Gentileschi' when she had the Hindu goddess Kali. Engaging with leaders of the Blk Art Group like Lubaina Himid, Sonia Boyce, and Claudette Johnson, we find connections with the first generation of British artists, born in the UK of migrant parents. Griselda also shares the important work of art historians and academics beyond Western/Europe, like Homi K. Bhabha, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Chandra Mohanty, Catherine de Zegher, and Hiroko Hagewara. We discuss how being open to challenge and conversation, unsettling your own assumptions, denormalising and widening visibility are all ongoing obligations. Still, with Coral Woodbury's paintings, layered atop H.W. Jansen's History of Art (1968), we see how little the education system has changed. Griselda concludes with thoughts on Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and challenging the norms of modernist colonial tourism within the confines of free speech and market demand. Medium and Memory, curated by Griselda Pollock, ran at HackelBury Fine Art in London until 18 November 2023. An expanded exhibition of Coral Woodbury's Revised Edition runs until 4 May 2024. Griselda Pollock on Gauguin is published by Thames & Hudson, and available from 28 May 2024.

Welcome to the MAKES SENSE podcast, where we apply the science, art and philosophy of sense making to the things that make you go Hmmm? Those most pressing thoughts and discussions going on in our minds today. The Makes Sense Podcast is an expense free service with the intention of helping you execute on the concept of changing the way you look at things, so that the things you look at begin to change.  Today we'll MAKE SENSE of THE PROGRAM-  That way you think, feel and act? It's not your fault, its your program.   Contact - Dr. JC Doornick - https://zez.am/makessense  SHOW NOTES: As we move further into this new Makes Sense podcast, it's important that I continue to provide you with the base constructs, concepts and language that we will be using in later episodes. This podcast is about you transforming into a more conscious version of yourself so you can begin to see the previously unseen.  My intention in this episode is to expose something to your conscious mind. What makes this challenging is that this thing I want to show you is invisible to you. In fact it often cloaks itself as you. No it's not your ego. In fact, your ego works for it. “I woke up to realize that my perception of reality was not my own but one I assumed, as a result of the information I had been consuming.” - Dragon Stop for a moment and ask yourself this question. Is your interpretation of reality, including the way you look at and respond to things, your own? Or can you acknowledge the outside forces that have played a role in it? Before you say no, can you prove that it's not possible? That the way you perceive, believe and respond are a manifestation of what you have been taught and continue to reinforce everyday with the things you consume with regularity? Welcome to the program. An excerpt from my new book MAKES SENSE, Solving the mystery of why shit happens.  After a life of misfortune and suffering, French artist, Paul Gauguin painted a masterpiece in his dying days while living in exile in Tahiti. Viewed from right to left, it demonstrates the circle of life from birth to death. This powerful piece unveils the deepest mysteries of the human race and is appropriately named. Where do we come from? Where are we? And where are we going?  These questions are the premises upon which we all roam this planet in search of answers as sense-making machines. When we seek the answers to unanswerable questions, we are forced to do our best to fill in the gaps and make sense of things.. In other words, we make shit up. In fact, this is the birthplace of religion, psychology, theories, and science. All representing man's attempt to make sense of things.  Think about that for a second. Whatever it is that represents your foundation for your reality. What's good or bad. Right or Wrong? Just or injust?  Did you come up with that? Well if you came up with it, you are pretty special as most humans are born into this world without knowing these things until they are taught to them.  Why is this important? To recognize that our sense making machines have been programmed and that program is the backbone software that is controlling your hardware and virtual reality suit? Well, for starters, what if it's not accurate? I know you've been sold into the idea that it was. But what if it is not? Here you are doing your best to make the right decisions in life, choose the right path as well as stay on track and follow through with your physical, mental and financial goals. And now we are for the first time noticing a red, check engine light that's been on yet had black tape over it for years. That light, now illuminated, is suggesting that we take a look under the hood at an engine that was built by others with their own intentions for you. Perhaps different than the ones that are actually FOR YOU. It's important here to shift into a curious state of possibility thinking. Why? If you can't justify a reason to rethink or re-evaluate something due to the mere possibility that there may be another truth or better way? The idea of making changes to your regularly scheduled program will seem nonsensical. So in order to experience growth we must be willing to challenge this programming that we have received and become open to a better way. Otherwise, you will find yourself hell bent on protecting and justifying your position on things and that is the life of the herd. The majority. The popular masses that are ok with trying to get into town in a rocking chair. Because they believe in that rocking chair and that rocking chair is part of their core values etc.. This of-course gives rise to the definition of insanity. To add some color to this, it's interesting to look at the characteristics and strategies of scientists. There is no group of humans more open and curious than scientists. Why? Scientists seek the truth and seek facts. The idea of coming across something that improves or debunks their own theories excites them. Because it is the truth they seek and will let nothing deter them from acquiring it. Not even their own theories. So a nice role playing exercise to play in life is that of a scientist. Checking facts and remaining open and curious to better ones.  The Operating System “We seldom realize, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” ― Alan Watts If you look into a baby's eyes, you'll see they have little self-awareness. The person one grows into is a mask worn over their consciousness. You'll be surprised to learn that this mask is given to them from the outside in. Once a human becomes awakened, their consciousness begins to penetrate and shine through the mask to see what it sees. Not what it's been trained to see. We come into this world as biologically conditioned structures without a self-image.  However, there is much debate over the idea that we are all born prematurely. This is because a newborn baby's brain is not fully developed at birth. In a perfect world, we'd further our stay in our mother's womb for 15 months. Not a good thing at all for the mom, I know. However, the theory makes sense and unveils our susceptibility to not only learning and absorbing from the outside in. But reminds us that our brains can become permanently wired to accept all that we consume at this early phase as reality. Simply, the way things are. As we grow through life, we face the challenge of increased responsibility for ourselves. Over the next several years, I began experiencing a series of awakenings that unveiled an inefficient operating system that was not moving me forward.  I became aware that I was running a program inside that was unconsciously calling the shots. This program decided what was good or bad, and what I should or should not do. What is interesting about this program is that I was unaware that it was running. I always assumed that I was voluntarily making decisions. Not the case. There was an automatic operating system that would activate in different ways in response to certain happenings, people, and scenarios. The side effects and symptoms of this programmed response system began showing up. For example, I'd find myself overeating, and saying things I didn't intend to friends and family. There was something inside me calling the shots without consulting me. SPONSOR MAKES SENSE ACADEMY: https://www.riseupwithdragon.com/makes-sense-academy  M.F.T.P.S.E. (The Programmers) This brings up a unique challenge. See, once a program has been absorbed, we have a fail-safe defense mechanism to protect it from anything otherwise. Its your number one employee and right hand man. Your ego. A fun analogy to use is one I call The Bouncer: A bouncer stands outside his nightclub with a detailed guest list, checking every ID. The nightclub represents your life and your bouncer controls who and what gets in and who doesn't. That's your trained ego safeguarding and preserving your programmed thoughts, feelings, and concepts labeling and judging everything it perceives. Your bouncer works closely with your VR Suit and decides who and what gets into the nightclub, and it's not open to new ways of perceiving the world. Remember, the bouncer works for you and is just doing its job.  In order to consider reprogramming our intel processor and VR Suit, we must take control of the bouncer. It's like the write-protected switch on an SD card. Your bouncer, or ego, is committed and not open to new ideas. If it is protected, it cannot receive new data. I became intensely curious to identify where I received this inefficient operating system?  Think about it. Whenever we buy a new car or technology, it malfunctions or breaks down. Who do we blame? Yes, the manufacturers. I was already blaming my parents for all my problems, and now I know why. They played a role in programming my operating system by teaching me to adopt theirs. They taught me the good and bad of what they were taught. I bought into it all, as most kids do, and unknowingly started viewing the world through their eyes. But I knew there was more. I couldn't blame or credit them solely for it all. I wasn't consuming and absorbing information from them alone.  Who else is involved in my programming? Like a detective, I began unpacking the files of my past and evaluating where I picked up the thoughts, perceptions and concepts that controlled my mind and VR suit?  My mother. My father. Oh, wait, my teachers and preachers too! Making these observations into my 30's, I recognized that I had spent over 20 years in the box of the education system. Consuming with regularity, the lessons shared by my teachers. We weren't religious, but I sure had preachers in my life. They were represented by those that spoke from a place of being right about things. People that shared concepts over and over again with my vulnerable, neuroplastic mind. Friends, family, and authority figures. I was in school, in and out of synagogues and churches throughout my life as well. Consuming and assuming their uploads were valid. All well-intentioned, I'm sure. But unconscious to the ramifications of me buying into their program. The very nature of mothers, fathers, teachers, and preachers is to nurture, guide, and protect. Some useful, some harmful, but all are well-intentioned. Nobody's perfect, right? So, I couldn't blame them as that would imply that they were at fault. In fact, I've learned through parenting my own children and mentoring others throughout my career, my goal is not to indoctrinate people to believe what I do. Or look at the world the way I do? Mothers, Fathers, Teachers and Preachers often unconsciously push their own concepts of reality onto others to simply validate themselves. If someone buys into what I think, it only validates what I think. Not them. Make sense? Traveling further into my evidence room, and placing all things on my evidence board aka my CRAZY WALL. I discovered other elements at play that were responsible for my own operating system.  Now referring to our programmers as our M.F.T.P.S.E. There's the mother, father, teacher, preacher, society and evolution. The last two being the silent killers. Silent meaning we are often unaware of their influence because we don't consider these things. Remember, that which you consume with regularity, programs your mind and VR suit to assume with regularity. It's hard to register, but society and evolution represent other components of our programming. We are exposed to society daily through interactions, social media and the idiot box. That's what my grandfather called the TV. Throw in the passing on and forward paying of all things our predecessors and ancestors learned through the evolution of man dating back to the days of the caveman. Even though there are no more sabertooth tigers and T Rexes trying to kill us, our stress response systems have been wired to fight or flight in the face of anything that remotely resembles anything from the past. That's right, you've been programmed and continue to  unconsciously consume and, over time, assume its programming. Now, it's become  your operating system.  What's interesting to note is that you've constructed a customized surrounding and strategic perception of society that validates and supports your program. This is known as confirmation bias, where we seek out and favor only the information that supports our existing beliefs. Even in the absence of them being factual. Turning our head from anything and everyone that thinks otherwise. This can lead to an illusion of reality and creates a challenge should you decide to change the way you look at things. Think about those things in your life you call your core values and beliefs? Perhaps the non-negotiables? You might even be known as stubborn or hard nosed?  “The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence, but of the coherence of the story the mind has managed to construct.”   ―Daniel Kahneman Rock climbers refer to that one hard move in their line that poses the biggest challenge. The Crux! The Crux in reclaiming control of our program lies with the bias we've developed over time to support that program.  Confirmation and cognitive bias is the simplified processing of all information through a filter that references all past experiences and preferences. We use this filter to process perceptions, make decisions, and determine our reality. This cognitive bias can direct our focus on things that others can't see. Typically due to the fact that they are not there to be seen. Outside the realm of logic and rationale. Projecting an augmented version of reality that suits our current needs which prompts us to support that reality by focusing only on the things that confirm it and ignoring those that falsify it. In other words, we make shit up to make our story true. Even in the absence of facts. All of this, going on without you even knowing it. Almost makes you feel like a puppet, no? The programming we've received thus far becomes justified and protected by our bias, or the ego's opinion. You could even say that the ego is the master of puppets. Many refer to Descartes's famous quote, “I think; therefore, I am, " as the fall of civilization. It began a movement that prompted people to address reality and form opinions and reactions based on their thoughts. In his defense, I don't think Descartes knew how much we would be thinking about how susceptible we would be to the repetitive suggestions from our programmers. Our influential MFTPSEs.  It's easy to become wired into the suggestions, opinions, and concepts we consume regularly. “Neurons that fire together wire together.” This principle is known as the Hebbian learning rule; when two neurons in the brain are activated at the same time, they become more strongly connected to each other over time. This process is called synaptic plasticity, and it is the basis for learning and memory formation in the brain. Hebb's theory also proposes that the strength of the connection between two neurons depends on the frequency and timing of their activation. When two neurons are activated at the same time repeatedly, the connection between them becomes stronger. This reminds us of the power of consistency as it leverages these neural connections where memories of the event are formed. This created a situation where people could be led to believe one thing and be close-minded to the possibility of another. Descartes also said;  "Since our senses cannot put us in contact with external objects themselves, but only with our mental images of such objects, we can have no absolute certainty that anything exists in the external world.”  Descartes postulated what he called the “evil demon argument.” This is where he proposed we all live with an entity, a demon, capable of deceiving us. As a result, we lose our inherent ability to process what we see, without doubting its difference compared to what we think. Hmmm. Interesting to think about this concept. That there's an evil demon, or machine, living inside our heads calling shots. As if it is a separate entity, implanted in our brains that controls and coordinates our perceptions and responses? I believe we all inherently feel there is a guest or as i call it, the "little liar,” manipulating us. The concept of the “dark passenger” is widely accepted. We have these preposterous thoughts that cause us to cringe at the very idea of others knowing of them. As Jim Dethmer describes in his drama triangle theory, we place blame on the demon or machine in our head. As if it were placed there by others.  Plato's Cave Plato's allegory of the cave is a symbolic story of how humans learn to interpret reality based on what they see rather than what is. In this story, Plato described a scenario where a bunch of prisoners were constrained by chains side by side in a cave where they were forced to only look at a wall in front of them. With a fire lighting the room behind them, the projected shadows on the wall from people walking behind them, became the only thing the prisoners saw over time. After some time, these shadows became their interpretation of the world and reality.  The allegory looks at our philosophical thoughts of truth and how we come to terms with it and confidently describe it. Not until the prisoners are released can they slowly begin to entertain a new reality. The narrative ponders what would happen once the freed prisoners learned of the new reality outside the cave. First, the assumption was that they would return to the cave and attempt to free the others so they, too, could see the vast new reality. Their following belief was that the prisoners still in the cave would try to kill the messenger threatened by his blasphemy.   Humanity today is not much different from Plato's narrative. We are what we eat, and that's not just with food. The “S” in MFTPSE “society” reminds us of our constant daily consumption. Watch the news regularly and see how your perceptions, conversations, and reactions to everyday life shift. Follow politics or the conflict on the Gaza Strip and see how that affects your perceptions and conversations with others? I spent my whole life consuming and shaping my perceptions with a programmed operating system that I received and confirmed from my MFTPSE. My brain (software) and my VR suit (hardware) became hardwired to my unique way of looking at things. My programming was its manifestation, and my perceptions and responses were not actually mine. Not from my conscious mind but my subconscious programmed mind. I learned later that it represented 95% of the operating system. We program and support our subconscious mind with the repetitive consumption of data. Data from your MFTPSE. If you have a concept and belief system, it was created, molded and confirmed by your consumption. Those learned concepts are running on autopilot and in charge of your life. They say what you see is what you get. I agree. However, is what you get what actually is or just a manifestation of what you see.  Another SNAP moment. It was all becoming clear. I began reviewing clips of every event in my life through a new set of lenses. As if I was in a library using the good old news searching system we used to call microfiche. I had been justifying my reality and potential based on something I bought into. Now? I am progressively waking up and disputing everything. All bets are off and that means that I might be wrong about a lot of stuff. Including my potential and the very resource of potential in the world. When I use the word awakening, I'm referring to the opposite of being asleep. The difference between being instinctively closed, unconscious, and unaware vs. being open and conscious and aware. When you've been programmed, your VR suit (your 5 senses) continues to process, consume and confirm your current operating system. You're unaware of it, and it validates the programming.  This is the same way good and bad habits are created. Practice an activity or consume something for 60-90 days, and you not only become good at it. You become unconsciously competent at it. You don't even know who you are. That's a habit. There's something called the rule of 100. It states that an individual that spends 100 hours a year or 18 minutes a day on a discipline will end up being better than 95% of the entire world at that discipline. This awakening helped me tackle things like losing weight and keeping it off for 18 years. Rather than trying to stop the destructive behaviors, I began looking at why they were even there. We wake up one day to recognize our own inefficient operating system. It happens while running our regularly scheduled program, when some sort of glitch in the matrix pops up that suggests it is not working. We notice the insanity of  our behaviors where we expect different outcomes from doing the same old things. If you don't challenge this and just go with the flow and stay comfortable, the universe has a way of forcing your hand to change. The universe is in full support of your success and fulfillment. Yet if you are sleepwalking through life, it will curb stomp you to grab your attention and make you take a look at things.  Get too comfortable? Fat, lazy, depressed. Move too fast? Divorce, hypertension, anxiety, substance abuse.  I experienced a series of car accidents that forced me to recognize I was moving too fast and to re-access my behaviors, priorities and the underlying reason for their existence. Or when I experienced that SNAP moment, I was forced to see that therapist and learn why I hated my birthdays. I'm sure all humans have these universal offerings that force them to see something and make a powerful distinction. However, if we're not seeking growth. We may miss or ignore them. Disclaimer: It is important to acknowledge that I was seeking growth with urgency at this time.  We all want the same things in life. We want to be Happy-ER, Healthy-ER, and Wealthy-ER. I refer to humans as “seekers of the ER”. However, only those that seek with urgency will follow through and do the work. If you are learning this stuff and not moving into action, that's ok. Your time will come and it will come when you build urgency around it. I was frustrated with my lack of certainty, confidence, and progress at that time. I wanted more and began to engage in personal growth with a specific interest in neuroscience and the study of the human brain and consciousness. I became open and curious about these observations, even while in full survival mode.  This is a lifelong journey, and you're welcome to join me. Are you ready to leave your concept cave? Here's the good news folks. This programmed mind of yours? Demon included. It's completely re-programmable and we're gonna talk about some strategies to execute on that in upcoming episodes and conversations with guests. However, it starts with the awareness and acknowledgement that our perceptions, thoughts and feelings have been persuaded by an outside stimulus which means they may very well not be of our own choice. Here are a few simple practices to begin the process of reclaiming control of your goals, dreams and reality. These practices are not effective by simply knowing them and feeling you understand and agree with them. They must be practiced until they begin to show signs of opening up new alternate beliefs that unveil different possibilities and outcomes of your future potential.  Just say Hmmm?: When you find yourself contemplating yourself in evaluation of your willpower or motivation, just say Hmmm? Not to the thing you are evaluating, but to the very act of generating those concepts of your motivation and belief. Remember the idea of Brain Awareness Perception. Focus on your North Star: Very often when we feel “stuck” and begin contemplating our willpower, motivation and, our belief in ourselves, it's a side effect and symptom of forgetting where you were going and why? When you feel lost and confused, simply look up at the North Star and find your way back home to your goals and dreams.  Practice Patience: A few words missing from most people's 2024 goal sheet are patience , agility, awareness. Again, a side effect of our programmed mind are things like entitlement, impatience and frustration. They easily trigger a contingency plan to abort and move in a different direction. Once the contingency plan is set forth, our program begins to validate the decision to abort with the excuses that demonstrate the concepts of things like self belief, motivation and willpower being precursors to our following through. Saying Hmmm, and pausing your programmed mind will help you practice patience.  Remember. Truly doing the work can be exhausting at first. Not to mention frustrating as there are not too many wins associated with it at first. Making Sense of these distinctions can easily be washed away by your programmed mind and sense making machine as a waste of time if you are not ready. Perhaps showing up as you are telling yourself something like. “Ah, fuck this. We only live once and I don't want to spend my time struggling to move this mountain ahead of me. I want to enjoy my life etc..” My response to you would be “Hmmm?”  If that is going on in your mind right now or later, it's normal and you can feel better knowing that most people will do the same. But right after you feel better because you're not the only one. Ask yourself why only a few individuals sit at the top of the mountain at the table of success, fulfillment and happiness? Then look at your statement of “Ah, fuck this” and see why that is? It's a game I call “DRIFTING and SHIFTING”. Drifting refers to the act of unconsciously falling back into your regularly scheduled program. The one that isn't advancing you towards your desired state. Remember, it's not your fault. You are wired to do this. But if you can learn to simply place a pause on that idea of not following through and retreating to the comfortable place called “known”. By inserting a “Hmmm?” and allow yourself to look at the idea you have from a place of logic and rationale? You'll catch yourself DRIFTING again. See, Drifting is not the problem. Drifting off-course is a normal human behavior. Life gets sticky when you are unconsciously drifting. So catching yourself drifting is where the win is. As it becomes the fertile ground to you SHIFTING. Not only shifting back on course, but shifting into a more conscious version of yourself, that can remember things like the lesson you just heard on Motivation, Self Belief and Timing, and how they are not factors in your success.  It takes what I call PRACTION. A state of practicing being in action. See, you won't be good at this at first. You may find yourself drifting more than shifting. But keep at it. It never gets easy. But it does get easiER. Be well my friends. And remember. If you learned something today? Give it away. That's the only way it will stay. We hope that you will consider paying forward this podcast to your contact sphere. Strike up conversations with them about the topics and you'll find that its when we teach that we learn twice.  Contact - Dr. JC Doornick - https://zez.am/makessense

Cette collection est encore abritée aujourd'hui dans un sublime palais de marbre sur Madison Avenue à New York. Depuis plus d'un siècle, des chercheurs du monde entier s'y rendent pour consulter les copies originales de manuscrits les plus rares de l'histoire de l'humanité. La Bible de Gutenberg, le livre d'heures de Catherine de Clèves, l'édition originale de Paradis Perdu de John Milton, les correspondances entre Paul Gauguin et Vincent van Gogh... Pour tant de richesses durement négociées et méticuleusement archivées, est-ce que vous saviez qu'à la tête de cet empire littéraire régnait une femme ? Son nom, Belle Greene. C'est l'héroïne de notre histoire, le summum de la self made woman. Belle da Costa Greene de son nom complet vivait à une époque d'une violence inouïe pour les personnes noires. De descendance afro américaine, cette femme métisse a l'éducation brillante a bravé mille interdits pour se construire une carrière au sommet de l'échelle sociale. Née quinze ans à peine après l'abolition de l'escalvage en 1865, la loi américaine lui interdisait l'accès à toute forme de prestige. Malgré son teint légèrement matte, et la clarté de ses yeux verts, malgré le teint pâle de ses soeurs et leur chevelure blonde, Belle et les siens étaient perçus comme des gens de couleur, des marginaux. En effet, les lois Jim Crow passées en 1877 les maintenaient à l'écart des blancs dans les transports, dans les écoles, dans les bibliothèques et les restaurants. D'après la célèbre “One drop Rule” règle de l'unique goutte de sang, chaque personne métis vivant sur le territoire américain était contrainte de se déclarer comme noire. Une seule goutte de sang, la goutte d'un seul ancêtre africain suffisait pour les condamner à la précarité absolue. Tout individu métis qui tentait de se faire passer pour blanc était passible de lynchage, c'était considéré comme un crime. Cette histoire est consacrée au destin d'une femme qui en a décidé autrement, qui a eu le courage de braver la loi, le courage de s'inventer une vie et la sublimer à la perfection. Le génie de Belle Greene lui a valu de devenir au début du XXe siècle, tout simplement la femme la plus riche des Etats Unis. Toutefois, c'est son audace qui lui a permis d'être considérée à sa juste valeur. A la effrontée et précautionneuse, légère mais indétrônable. Belle Greene est un phénomène unique de l'histoire. Elle semble même la devancer d'un demi-siècle tant son indépendance et son goût du moderne transcendaient les mœurs de son époque. Elle écrivait d'ailleurs en 1910 à son amant, l'historien Bernhard Berenson, la lettre suivante: « Je pense que, chez la plupart d'entre nous, il y a le désir de transgresser les limites. Je sais que ce besoin d'aller au-delà de toutes les expériences ne me quitte pas. C'est comme ça, Fiamma mia : je suis habitée par le goût de l'excès, et mon amour pour toi n'y changera rien.» Et voici son récit … Ecriture: Iona Bermon pour Timeline

Le génie de Belle Greene lui a valu de devenir au début du XXe siècle, tout simplement la femme la plus riche des Etats Unis. Toutefois, c'est son audace qui lui a permis d'être considérée à sa juste valeur. A la effrontée et précautionneuse, légère mais indétrônable. Belle Greene est un phénomène unique de l'histoire. Elle semble même la devancer d'un demi-siècle tant son indépendance et son goût du moderne transcendaient les mœurs de son époque. Elle écrivait d'ailleurs en 1910 à son amant, l'historien Bernhard Berenson, la lettre suivante: « Je pense que, chez la plupart d'entre nous, il y a le désir de transgresser les limites. Je sais que ce besoin d'aller au-delà de toutes les expériences ne me quitte pas. C'est comme ça, Fiamma mia : je suis habitée par le goût de l'excès, et mon amour pour toi n'y changera rien.» Et voici son récit … Ecriture: Iona Bermon pour Timeline

J'ai cherché à démystifier les clichés populaires, en commençant par expliquer le pourquoi du comment... En remettant en question les stéréotypes tenaces, en examinant les sources historiques et en déconstruisant les mythes, l'émission offre un regard critique sur la manière dont l'histoire a façonné la perception de Napoléon, encourageant le public à remettre en question les préjugés courants et à approfondir sa compréhension de cette figure emblématique. Bonne écoute ! Il y a exactement cent ans, lors de l'hiver 1924, le fils du magnat JP Morgan, Jack Morgan, faisait don au public de la collection de livres titanesque de son père. Cette collection est encore abritée aujourd'hui dans un sublime palais de marbre sur Madison Avenue à New York. Depuis plus d'un siècle, des chercheurs du monde entier s'y rendent pour consulter les copies originales de manuscrits les plus rares de l'histoire de l'humanité. La Bible de Gutenberg, le livre d'heures de Catherine de Clèves, l'édition originale de Paradis Perdu de John Milton, les correspondances entre Paul Gauguin et Vincent van Gogh... Pour tant de richesses durement négociées et méticuleusement archivées, est-ce que vous saviez qu'à la tête de cet empire littéraire régnait une femme ? Son nom, Belle Greene. C'est l'héroïne de notre histoire, le summum de la self made woman. Belle da Costa Greene de son nom complet vivait à une époque d'une violence inouïe pour les personnes noires. De descendance afro américaine, cette femme métisse a l'éducation brillante a bravé mille interdits pour se construire une carrière au sommet de l'échelle sociale. Née quinze ans à peine après l'abolition de l'escalvage en 1865, la loi américaine lui interdisait l'accès à toute forme de prestige. Malgré son teint légèrement matte, et la clarté de ses yeux verts, malgré le teint pâle de ses soeurs et leur chevelure blonde, Belle et les siens étaient perçus comme des gens de couleur, des marginaux. En effet, les lois Jim Crow passées en 1877 les maintenaient à l'écart des blancs dans les transports, dans les écoles, dans les bibliothèques et les restaurants. D'après la célèbre “One drop Rule” règle de l'unique goutte de sang, chaque personne métis vivant sur le territoire américain était contrainte de se déclarer comme noire. Une seule goutte de sang, la goutte d'un seul ancêtre africain suffisait pour les condamner à la précarité absolue. Tout individu métis qui tentait de se faire passer pour blanc était passible de lynchage, c'était considéré comme un crime.

The tragic human cost of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the Israel-Hamas war is well documented. What is now becoming clear is how many historic buildings and sites have also been destroyed. We talk to Sarvy Geranpayeh, a correspondent for The Art Newspaper in the Middle East, about the fate of heritage in Gaza. As a huge exhibition of the work of Emily Kam Kngwarray, perhaps the most celebrated of all Indigenous Australian artists, opens at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, we speak to the show's curators Kelli Cole and Hetti Perkins, about her life and work. And this episode's Work of the Week is a manuscript written by Paul Gauguin just months before he died in French Polynesia—Martin Bailey, our London correspondent, tells us more about the document, which has been acquired by The Courtauld in London.Emily Kam Kngwarray, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2 December-28 April 2024 Hosted on Acast.
