The Ghost Furnace - Episode 105 "Old Man of the Forest"   On this week's episode we look at a few creatures which have made the jump from folkloric rumors to taxonomized records of mainstream science. An occurrence which doesn't happen often, but when it does, there is a blueprint established which allows for speculation on what else might be out there in our vast world.    If you have feedback or a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, Youtube, Facebook and at TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

In this episode Paul had the pleasure of speaking with Jamie Bangerter and Danielle LeCourt cohosts of The Are of Mountain biking podcast. They dove into the philosophical aspects of the Mountain biking sport and how it presents an opportunity to learn valuable life lessons. Danielle shared how the idea for the podcast came about during a conversation with Jamie and emphasized the importance of having a structured platform to discuss the sport and deepen their understanding of its teachings. One of the standout concepts that we explored is the idea of "one extra thought." It involves intentionally adding a positive thought to counteract negative thinking patterns, particularly useful in split- second decisions during mountain biking. This technique helps regain control during moments of fear or anxiety.  Topics covered in this Episode: 1. The concept of the “one extra thought” positive thought to counteract negative thinking patterns  2. Journey of self-actualization,  personal growth and self-improvement throughout the mountain biking experience. The focus is on the process and the lessons learned along the way, rather than solely on achieving specific goals. 3. The fulfillment found in coaching others and helping them improve themselves. Giving back to society and leaving a positive impact.     Thank you for listening  Connect with Jamie Bangerter here:  Website: https://simplymtb.com/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Simply_MTB/ Connect with Danielle LeCour here:  Website: https://www.youneedathing.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/youneedathing/ Connect with Paul https://innovativewealth.com/ https://businesslegacypodcast.com/    

Now more than ever, the question regarding CHURCH-AND-STATE has been at the forefront of most political arguments. Some are even saying that the “CHURCH” should be controlling our government…Fundamentally, that notion is contrary to what is written in our constitution. So, what do we do when even some members of our congress call for such measures to be taken? In this “Masterclass” session, our guest (John Gibb), along with Gary, will break down this misconception that has led to a total misunderstanding of how our government was designed to function.

Can we be haunted by our own thoughts? Or use them to haunt others? Few ideas produce the fear and existential dread that Roko's Basilisk provides. This unique thought experiment was considered so potentially disturbing, that the original website to which it was published quickly banned the topic. We break down this strange collision of urban legend, artificial intelligence and philosophy. Listener Warning: If you are struggling right now, or don't want to deal with existential questions about reality, we would suggest listening to a different episode. But, if you love a good metaphysical mystery that challenges our perceptions, and provides a good chill, join us as we head down the rabbit hole and explore the philosophical head-trip that is Roko's Basilisk.

Today on Pay Attention, host Davis Badger Anderson discusses religion and evolution and what one tells us about the other.

The DIY faith Paul is writing to correct calls us away from quick-fix solutions, and towards grace and mercy, telling us the work of Christ was and continues to be insufficient. Paul was calling the ancient church away from revolutionized human teachings - three-quick and easy steps and back to a life of extravagance.Extravagant grace.Extravagant compassion.Extravagant mercy.Simply put… the foundation of our faith is not something we do or accomplish. The foundation of our faith is someone, someone who accomplished that which we could never do for ourselves.Christianity is not DIY.Christianity is discipleship, meaning in following Christ we acknowledge and hold onto Christ’s reconciling work that we, us and them, are unable to accomplish for ourselves.

Special guest Dr. Åse Vigdis Ystad gives a talk as part of this year's Arts Divison Lecture Series, “Engaging the Mind,” presenting work obtained through a lifetime of research on Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (Peer Gynt, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler.) Dr. Ystad is visiting UC Santa Cruz as part of The Gynt Project and the associated conference “Peer Gynt in a Digital Age.” Her visit is sponsored by UCSC's Cowell College and the Gary D. Licker Memorial Chair. The lecture: From the start of his writing career, Ibsen focuses on the human personality as his main theme, but his subsequent attempts to represent love, passion, quest, human morality and ethics as central motives in his work result in dramaturgical problems. This difficulty characterizes Ibsen’s plays from 1850–58 and is not overcome until he suffers a combined personal and poetic crisis around 1860. After the crisis, he stands out as a mature playwright, creating masterpieces like The Pretenders (1864), Brand (1866) and Peer Gynt (1867). The lecture will also examine Ibsen’s great epic poem ”Terje Vigen” (1862) and give short comments on some of his later prose plays. Dr. Åse Vigdis Ystad is a fixture of Norwegian arts and letters, and is one of the world’s leading experts on the playwright Henrik Ibsen. Her lifelong service to Norwegian literature and culture earned her Knighthood in the Order of St Olaf by the King of Norway in 2012. After receiving her PhD in Philospohy at the University of Oslo, she has been a Professor of Scandinavian literature there since 1973. She is an member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters; the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala; the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities; the Norwegian Academy of Language and Literature; the Society of Norwegian Language and Literature; and the Society of Danish Language and Literature. Ystad has presented lectures in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, England, Scotland, China, South Korea, and the United States.
