In this first solo episode of The Sacred Speaks, I open the door to a new format—one that invites reflection, story, and personal encounter. We begin with mentorship. Drawing from Homer's Odyssey, we explore the sacred roots of the mentor archetype. I offer reflections on what mentorship has meant in my life—from the early days as a musician to the path of a seeker—and trace the thread through conversations with two giants in this work: Father Richard Rohr and Dr. James Hollis. We'll move through the terrain of masculine energy, myth, music, therapy, and spiritual awakening—touching on what it means to be shaped by others and what it might mean to become a shaping force ourselves. I also share where the podcast is headed, including an upcoming turn toward the feminine. You're invited to consider your own mentors—those seen and unseen—and how they've helped guide your becoming.

What if I told you that your suffering isn't just happening to you—but that, on some level, you've been choosing it? Before you scroll away, hear me out.This isn't about self-blame—it's about self-empowerment. The way we experience pain isn't just about what happens to us, but how we interpret it, hold onto it, and unconsciously use it to reinforce old stories.In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most radical and life-changing teachings from A Course in Miracles—how we unknowingly choose suffering to maintain a victim identity and why true sovereignty means breaking this cycle.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Daniel Perez, a respected figure in the Bigfoot community, to discuss his lifelong fascination with Sasquatch sparked by the movie 'The Legend of Boggy Creek.'

HoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, Nik and I discuss the world of controversial self-help gurus, specifically focusing on Dan Pena. We dissect Pena's background, from his early days in Florida to his claims of a massive oil empire and his now infamous $30,000 mastermind seminars. We analyze his aggressive persona and tactics, while trying to understand what makes him successful. We question the real value of his teachings, including his QLA principles, and if his advice is actually useful or just pure motivational hype. We also discuss the difference between gurus that just motivate you versus the ones that have a concrete business plan. Finally, we explore how AI is changing things and whether businesses can be created to protect consumers from all the spam that is going to come with the new technology.Learn more about Nik here: http://linktr.ee/cofoundersnikShare your ideas with us:Nik@cofounders.comChris@cofounders.comTimestamps below.

How do plants communicate using sound? How do they remember previous stimuli that have proven not to be threat, when at first they seemed like one? Where is the memory encoded considering they have no brain? What are the implications for biology of plant memory? In this episode we cover the ground breaking topics in plant cognition studies of: plant intelligence, behaviour, memory and communication. The type of experiments presented here have never really been done before, because there has always been an assumption in plant science that the cellular cognition that all living cells have, relies solely on light, touch or chemical interactions; so it doesn't really permit for plant behaviour, memory and consciousness. So with my guest today, the first scientist to bypass the assumptions and try these tests, we're going to discuss her experiments with plants; that clearly show not only basic memory and the corresponding updated behaviour based on that memory, but even pavlovian memory, i.e. associative memory that requires arbitrary stimuli to take on meaning to the plant. Obviously all of this has massive implications for distributed memory and memory beyond brains. We're also going to get into plant medicine and other indigenous approaches to connecting with plant consciousness; and what plant communication and biophilia in general might do for our relationship to the natural world as we face imminent biosphere collapse. My guest is of course, the research associate professor of Evolutionary Ecology at several universities in Australia, Monica Gagliano. She's published over 60 scientific papers, across the fields of Ecology, Plant Cognition, Plant Communications and Marine Ecology. She is also the author of the books “The Language of Plants: Science, Philosophy and Literature”,  and the highly celebrated,“Thus Spoke the Plant, A remarkable Journey of Groundbreaking Scientific Discoveries and Personal Encounters”. What we discuss: 00:00  Intro 05:00 The consensus on Plant intelligence & communication. 09:20 The difference between reacting and responding in cognition. 10:00 Bio-acoustic communication between plants. 21:07 Possible methods for plants to percieve sound. 22:00 Response to gravity may be similar. 23:30 Her plant memory experiment with Mimosa. 27:15 ‘Habituation' learning: screening out non-useful stimuli. 32:15 The connection between hardship and accelerated adaptive learning. 37:50 Her ‘Pavlovian' associative memory experiment with peas. 46:10 The Implications of plant memory for modern biology.  49:25 Where is memory stored without a nervous system? 52:30 Monica's ethical crisis in animal studies. 01:00:00 ‘Pavlovian' associative memory experiment with peas. 01:01:30 ‘Dieta', amazonian plant communication practice. 01:05:00 Shamanic interface with plant wisdom, particularly for healing. 01:08:00 Reductionist materialist pushback is representative of the colonial history of abuse of nature. 01:11:00 Indigenous science and a new book in the making.

In this episode, John Vervaeke and Harvard professor Charles Stang explore the concept of the 'daimon'', stemming from Stang's book Our Divine Double. John and Charles discuss semi-autonomous entities in psychological and philosophical contexts, linking ancient wisdom and modern cognitive science. Key topics include Socratic 'daimonion', Platonic thought, phenomenology of visionary encounters, and cultural ontology. They emphasize the embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended nature of cognition, highlighting the relevance of understanding these phenomena amid emerging technologies like AGI and virtual realities. The episode calls for Socratic self-awareness to navigate these transformative potentials and risks. Charles Stang is a Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School and Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions. His research focuses on ancient Mediterranean religions, Neoplatonism, and contemporary philosophy and spirituality. His research and teaching focus on the history of Christianity in the context of the ancient Mediterranean world, especially Eastern varieties of Christianity. More specifically, his interests include: the development of asceticism, monasticism, and mysticism in Christianity; ancient philosophy, especially Neoplatonism; the Syriac Christian tradition, especially the spread of the East Syrian tradition along the Silk Road; other philosophical and religious movements of the ancient Mediterranean, including Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Manichaeism; and modern continental philosophy and theology, especially as they intersect with the study of religion.

Scripture Reflection for Sept. 16, 2024 - Communion: Not Just A Personal Encounter by Priests for Life

The most famous American vampire is that of nineteen-year-old Mercy Brown, who died in Exeter, Rhode Island in 1892. Her father, assisted by the family physician, removed her from her tomb two months after her death, cut out her heart, and burned it to ashes. Her community blamed her for the deaths of many family members who died from tuberculosis in the late 1800s. Like many myths and legends, Vampirism is based partly on fact. A blood disorder called porphyria, which has been with us for millennia, became prevalent among the nobility and royalty of Eastern Europe. It is an inherited blood disorder that causes the body to produce less protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues. Some of the symptoms include pigment changes in the skin. Thus, the skin becomes highly sensitive to sunlight, causing blistering, erosions, and ulcerations. Over several centuries, there have been reports and allegories of encounters with certain humans that exhibited supernatural abilities akin to the vampire legend. I will present several of these accounts, both historical and contemporary. Please feel free to comment on the accounts and let me know your opinions.

Read OnlineWhen Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” Luke 5:8Consider carefully this very moving action of Simon Peter. Jesus had just begun His public ministry, healing Simon's mother-in-law as one of His first miracles. After that, Simon witnessed Jesus heal many other sick people and cast out many demons. And then, shortly after these initial miracles, Jesus got into the boat of Simon, directed him to “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” As soon as Simon obeyed, he caught so many fish that they needed a second boat to come and help them. The response of Simon to this additional miracle is recorded above.Three things take place in this passage. First, “Simon Peter saw this…” And though he saw this, literally with his eyes, we should see his “seeing” as something even deeper. Simon Peter saw not just the best day of fishing he had ever had. He saw God's grace at work through Jesus and was deeply moved interiorly by what he saw. Jesus used that which was one of the most central parts of Simon Peter's life (fishing) to manifest His divine power. In a sense, Jesus brought this lesson home to Simon, using fishing as the source of His lesson.Secondly, Simon's response was perfect. By encountering this divine miracle, Simon immediately was aware of his sin. Though we do not know what Simon's sin was, it is clear that this encounter with our Lord led him to immediately call to mind whatever he was guilty of. Perhaps he had struggled with some ongoing habitual sin for years, or perhaps he had done something of a grave nature that still haunted him. But all we know is that Simon's encounter with this very powerful and personal miracle moved him to an awareness of his sin.Thirdly, Simon falls at the knees of Jesus and tells the Lord to depart from him. And though Jesus' mercy is so great that Jesus would never depart from him, Simon is not only aware of the fact that he is unworthy to be in Jesus' presence, but he also manifests this conviction through his humble action of repentance. What does Jesus do? He said, “Do not be afraid…” And when these new disciples arrived at shore, “they left everything and followed him.”Each one of us must encounter our Lord in this same way. We must see Jesus. We must be deeply attentive to Him. We must recognize His presence, hear His voice and see His action in our life. If this is done well and through faith, then our personal encounter with our Lord will shine light on the sin we need to repent of. This is not so that we remain in guilt and shame; rather, it is so that we can also humble ourselves before Jesus and acknowledge we are not worthy of Him. When this humble admission is done well, we can be assured that Jesus will also say to us, “Do not be afraid.” His consoling words to us must then be responded to with the same choice made by Simon and the others. We must be ready and willing to leave everything behind so as to follow Him. Reflect, today, upon this image of Simon Peter on his knees before Jesus. See his humility and honesty. See his sincerity and interior awareness. And see his understanding of the divine power of Jesus before him. Pray that you, too, will see our Lord, experience your sin, humble yourself before Him and hear Him call you to radically and completely follow after Him wherever He leads.My consoling Lord, You manifested Your almighty power to Simon Peter through his ordinary daily activity. You allowed him to see Your divine power at work. Help me to see You at work in my life also, dear Lord. And as I see You, help me to humble myself before You, acknowledging my unworthiness. As I do, I pray that I also hear You say to me “Do not be afraid,” so that I can get up and follow You wherever You lead. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Tonight I decided to share a recent interview I did over on Underground Radio. We dicuss the Bigfoot Phenomena and Sasquatch Research. We talk about various theories about Bigfoot, including the Nephilim theory, and I share my skepticism and preference for the relic hominoid theory. I also talk about my own research, experiences, and the challenges faced by Bigfoot researchers. We emphasize the need for collaboration and scientific rigor in the study of Bigfoot. Additionally, we touch on the history of Bigfoot sightings, including encounters reported by Native Americans and the importance of anecdotal evidence gathered over time. I  also share some of my personal methods of interviewing and the importance of preserving eyewitness stories. 00:00 Introduction to Brian King Sharp 00:35 Debating Bigfoot's Origins 03:38 Scientific Approaches to Bigfoot Research 05:41 Challenges in Bigfoot Research Collaboration 07:20 Area X: A Hotspot for Bigfoot Activity 11:11 Personal Encounters and Evidence 23:03 Urban Bigfoot Sightings 25:36 Bigfoot in Suburban Areas 27:18 Analyzing the Patterson-Gimlin Film 29:49 The Freeman Footage Breakdown 32:30 Challenges with Modern Evidence 34:06 Personal Encounters and Anecdotal Stories 40:25 UFO Sightings During Bigfoot Expeditions 43:13 Native American Legends and Bigfoot 45:55 Where to Find More Information 46:39 Interviewing Techniques and Final ThoughtsListen To That Bigfoot PodcastGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 PublishingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In a revealing episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' Dan Krane, a forensic scientist and professor, delves into the ramifications of misconduct in DNA testing. This discussion focuses on a particular case of alleged misconduct by Yvonne Missy Woods at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, shedding light on a broader issue within the forensic science community. Below are the key points distilled from their conversation: The Nature of Misconduct: Misconduct, such as omitting minor discrepancies in DNA test results, can lead to significant consequences, potentially affecting the outcomes of numerous cases. Impact on Legal Outcomes: Krane emphasizes that such misconduct is more likely to result in wrongful convictions rather than exonerating the innocent, undermining the justice system's integrity. Personal Encounter with Misconduct: Krane shares his direct encounters with Woods in court, highlighting the real-world implications of such actions on legal precedents and case outcomes. Reevaluation and Retrials: The revelation of Woods' actions necessitates a thorough reevaluation of affected cases, likely leading to retrials and reconsideration of evidence reliability. Extent of the Issue: With over 652 cases potentially compromised and ongoing investigations, the scale of misconduct reveals systemic issues within forensic laboratories, extending beyond individual actions to broader procedural and oversight failures. #ForensicMisconduct #JusticeSystem #DNAEvidence #WrongfulConvictions #LegalEthics #CriminalJusticeReform #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
