Romantiken lever i några av våra mest älskade barn- och ungdomsböcker. Eva-Lotta Hultén berättar om Maria Gripes filosofiska influenser. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.”Allt levande hörer samman.” Orden formuleras på 1700-talet av Linnélärjungen Andreas Wiik, i ett brev till hans hemligt trolovade, Emelie. Deras korrespondens hittas på Selanderska gården i småländska Ringaryd långt senare av tre ungdomar. Av breven framgår att det ska finnas en antik egyptisk staty gömd någonstans på orten.Det finns ingen Linnélärjunge vid namn Andreas Wiik. Och ingen småländsk ort som heter Ringaryd. Men både mannen och platsen lever i Maria Gripes ”Tordyveln flyger i skymningen”.Tillsammans med ”Agnes Cecilia” är det den av hennes berättelser där de mystiska inslagen är starkast. Samhörighet över både tid och rum manifesterar sig och byggnader kan bära minnen och förmedla budskap. Särskilt i ”Tordyveln flyger i skymningen” bistår växter och djur i kommunikationen. Skalbaggar och krukväxter leder protagonisterna till viktiga ledtrådar på gåtans lösning – var finns statyn som Andreas Wiik hemförde från Egypten?Redan tidigare i sitt författarskap, också i sina mer realistiska berättelser, skildrade Maria Gripe en kommunikation med naturen, genom flera av sina karaktärer. Hugo, i ”Hugo och Josefin”, är en trygg skogsvarelse som kommer till människornas värld med ett budskap: skollärarinnan får veta att hon har hållits för lite i skogen och för mycket i skolan och att det är därför hon bekymrar sig så mycket. När Hugos för misshandel fängelsedömda far ­kommer på tal säger Hugo lugnt att ”Skogen ska en inte överge. Då går dä illa.”Också Loella i Pappa Pellerins dotter, är ett sagoväsen som hör ihop med naturen.Gripes biograf Ying Toijer Nilsson beskriver det så här: ”Den spåntäckta stugan är nästan osynlig, insnärjd i slingerväxter och med gräs på taket. Vädrets makter står på hennes sida, blixten laddar ur sig framför barnavårdsnämndens representanter, stigen är villsam och oländig, yrväder hindrar moderns bekanta som kommer för att hämta barnen.”I Gripes värld samspelar vi med naturen och talar med och genom den.Maria Gripe växte upp i Örebro men trivdes inte i stadens flickskola och när det var dags för vidare utbildning fick det bli Enskilda gymnasiet i Stockholm. Hon bodde inackorderad, och i rummet hon hyrde fanns filosofen Friedrich von Schellings samlade verk. Det är hans naturfilosofi som hon klär i Andreas Wiiks ord, och ger gestalt i Tordyveln flyger i skymningen.Schelling var verksam kring sekelskiftet 1800 och framåt och ingick i den intellektuella kretsen i staden Jena. Han räknas till de tyska idealisterna och romantikerna, vars idéer ofta ses som en motreaktion på upplysningen och den vetenskapliga revolutionen. Med den franske 1600-talsfilosofen René Descartes hade uppdelningen mellan den tänkande och den utsträckta substansen fått en strikt formulering. Ande och materia var åtskilda. Men den föreställningen medförde ett antal problem som Schelling noterade. Hur kan ett medvetande uppstå hos materia och hur kan ett levande jag påverka och påverkas av en död omgivning? ”Mellan sinnet och naturen finns en hemlig förbindelse”, menade Schelling. Men han gick längre än så.Mot den mekanistiska värld som upplysningen målat fram, där människor, djur och växter var att betrakta närmast som maskiner, ställde Schelling ett enhetligt världsallt – den ”allsjäl” som Maria Gripe låter Andreas Wiik skriva om i sina brev till Emelie. Schelling drar slutsatsen att allt levande därför kan kommunicera med, och genom allt annat som lever. En idé som han i sin tur kan ha hämtat inspiration till från de indiska vishetstexterna Upanishaderna. Där beskrivs en panteistisk värld där allt har en gemensam ande, brahman. Gud och naturen är ett.Allting, förklarade Schelling, i den andan, ”var förbundet med vartannat och utgjorde en enda universell organism” – från grodor till träd, stenar, insekter, floder och människor. Ande är osynlig natur, medan naturen är synlig ande – en central tes för romantikerna. I stället för total åtskillnad mellan jaget och naturen – dess motsats.Efter sin studentexamen läste Maria Gripe filosofi och religionshistoria vid Stockholms högskola och romantiken intresserade henne särskilt. Också Schiller, Novalis och Fichte går att spåra i hennes böcker. Liksom Atterbom och Schopenhauer. Gripe var beläst och ville få sina unga läsare att reflektera. Vilket breven till henne visar att hon också lyckades med. ”Den där Schopenhauer verkar bra. Var får man tag på hans böcker?”, skrev en ung läsare.I ”Tordyveln flyger i skymningen” låter hon huvudpersonerna Jonas, Annika och David – 13, 15 och 16 år gamla – samtala om de stora idéerna i Andreas Wiik brev. Brev som han hade bett Emelie att förvalta, och som hon gömt under en golvtilja. I ett meddelande till dem som hittar gömman ber hon att de ska lägga tillbaka Andreas skrifter igen, om deras tid är lika oförnuftig och oaktsam om livet som hennes egen. Är tiden mogen nu, funderar David, Jonas och Annika. Kanske är ingen tid redo för sådana tankar? Men kanske kan alla tider öppna sig för dem?Schelling var en oerhört populär föreläsare vid universitetet i Jena men hans idéer har gått stick i stäv med modernitetens förhärskande naturvetenskap och har kritiserats och förlöjligats, från hans egen tid fram till våra dagar. Samtidigt har han inspirerat tänkare över alla spektra. En av dem var Alexander von Humboldt. När Humboldt dog 1859 var han sin tids mest berömde vetenskapsman, med banbrytande forskning inom en hel rad naturvetenskapliga discipliner, och uppfinnare av några nya, som oceanografi och klimatologi. Hans levnadstecknare Andrea Wulf kallar honom för ”naturvetenskapernas Shakespeare.” Humboldt beskrev, i vännen Schellings anda, jorden som en organism som pulserade av liv, ett sammanhängande helt där allting är förbundet med vartannat i ett nät av organiskt liv. Det leder tankarna till James Lovelocks så kallade Gaiahypotes – att hela jorden fungerar som ett levande, sammanhängande system. Idag har denna tanke ett växande stöd inom naturvetenskapen. Samtidigt visar kvantfysiken på märkliga samband på partikelnivå över stora avstånd – och ny forskning på psykedelika, som ger starka upplevelser av att höra ihop med världsalltet, visar att detta har en positiv effekt vid depressioner.Schellings idéer om en förbunden värld tycks i vår tid komma till oss från olika håll. Hans tankar ser också ut att kunna bli ett viktigt verktyg för att finna nödvändiga nya förhållningssätt till, och förståelse av vår omvärld, i klimatkrisens tid. Allt levande hörer samman. Är vi mogna för att ta till oss den tanken? Är vi tillräckligt lyhörda för att följa de spår som tordyveln lägger ut?Eva-Lotta Hulténjournalist och författare

In this book, Ronnie Pontiac shows how Rosicrucianism's underground influence in the early-modern period continues to the present, providing the important historical context of this invisible society.Pontiac looks at the esoteric culture around Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and his court, including figures like John Dee, Tycho Brahe, and Rabbi Loew, the legendary creator of the Golem of Prague. Despite occultists' fascination with Rudolf 's successors, Frederick and Elizabeth, at the start of the Thirty Years' War—and Rosicrucian efforts to make Frederick the first Protestant Holy Roman Emperor—the esoteric renaissance in Bohemia was short-lived. However, this wasn't the end of Rosicrucianism.Pontiac explores the movement's impact on Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution as well as individuals such as Robert Fludd, René Descartes, Elias Ashmole, Moritz the Learned, Paracelsus, and William Shakespeare. He then details the movement's arrival in the New World, including the Rosicrucian activities of Connecticut's alchemist governor, John Winthrop the Younger. Looking to the present, Pontiac shows how both pop culture and the modern psychedelic counterculture are informed by Rosicrucian ideas, showing the enduring legacy of this esoteric movement.Ronnie Pontiac worked as Manly P.

Filozofi v období klasickej novovekej filozofie sa rozdeľovali na empiristov a racionalistov, podľa toho, od čoho odvádzali poznanie. Empiristi kládli dôraz na zmyslové poznávanie, racionalisti zase na rozum. Francis Bacon hovoril o štyroch idoloch, ktorých sa musíme zbaviť, aby sme dokázali svet okolo nás správne poznávať. Sú to idoly jaskyne, kmeňa, trhu a idoly divadla. René Descartes, autor slávneho „Myslím, teda som,“ tvrdí, že by sme mali ku všetkému pristupovať s metodickou skepsou. Thomas Hobbes odvádzal prirodzený stav spoločnosti od frázy „človek človeku vlkom,“ a hovoril o spoločenskej zmluve, v rámci ktorej odovzdáme kúsok svojej slobody vládcom.

Descubre Cómo Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ️ Una Carta de Amor a la Psicología: La Historia de Nuestra Mente Este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente es especial. Es el primero de una serie que quiere ser una carta de amor a la psicología. Está pensado tanto para psicólogos como para futuros psicólogos, pero también para quienes, sin formación profesional, sienten curiosidad por entenderse mejor. En este viaje sonoro nos vamos desde la Roma del siglo II hasta la Alemania del siglo XIX. Te presento a cuatro pensadores esenciales para entender cómo la psicología se fue inventando a sí misma, liberándose de explicaciones exclusivamente biológicas o religiosas. Empezamos con Galeno de Pérgamo, médico romano que unió cuerpo y mente a través de los famosos humores. Su visión fue durante siglos la explicación dominante de la personalidad: una química emocional que determinaba nuestro carácter. Seguimos con René Descartes, el filósofo que partió la realidad en dos: mente y cuerpo, alma y máquina. Su dualismo dio un paso clave hacia una ciencia del cuerpo… pero también nos dejó con el eterno dilema de cómo se conectan mente y materia. Luego llega el abate Faría, pionero de la hipnosis. Con él, la mente ya no era una fortaleza inaccesible: era influenciable, sugestible. Fue uno de los primeros en demostrar que las palabras pueden moldear la conciencia. ⚔️ Y finalmente Johann Friedrich Herbart, quien nos muestra una mente en constante conflicto: ideas que compiten, unas que emergen, otras que son reprimidas. Aquí nace el concepto de inconsciente tal como lo conocería más tarde Freud. A través de estos autores, descubrimos que la psicología no fue siempre una ciencia clara o unificada. Fue, y sigue siendo, un campo en disputa, una exploración continua de lo que nos mueve, de lo que pensamos, sentimos y callamos. Este episodio no es una clase de historia. Es una conversación íntima sobre cómo fuimos dándole voz a nuestra experiencia interior. Sobre cómo dejamos de buscar respuestas solo en el cuerpo o en Dios… y comenzamos a mirar hacia dentro. Y si te emociona este tipo de contenido, si sientes que hay partes de ti que quieren comprenderse más allá de los síntomas… te invito a que explores nuestro curso gratuito El Mapa de la Ansiedad, un recorrido profundo y humano para entender lo que te pasa.

Episode 2.72Descartes, Doubt, and the Birth of Modern CertaintyWhat can be known with absolute certainty?In Part 2 of I Think; Therefore I Am, Michael and Zach walk through René Descartes' most famous move—the cogito—and why it reshaped the entire history of philosophy. Faced with the collapse of Aristotelian certainty and the rise of radical doubt, Descartes wasn't trying to be clever. He was trying to survive an intellectual crisis.By doubting everything that could possibly be doubted—senses, mathematics, the external world, even his own body—Descartes discovers one truth that cannot be denied: the very act of doubt proves the existence of the doubter.This episode explores:-Why Descartes adopted methodological doubt in the first place-What the cogito actually claims—and what it carefully avoids claiming-Why “I think, therefore I am” is not a syllogism, but an immediate insight-How the cogito becomes the foundation for clarity, certainty, and reason-How this moment launches modern philosophy and reshapes the God-questionFar from being a throwaway slogan, the cogito marks a turning point: the shift from inherited authority to subject-centered certainty. Whether you admire Descartes or see his move as the beginning of philosophical trouble, understanding the cogito is essential for understanding the modern world—and the questions it still can't escape.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/9sCu1pq-2HEMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Para Thomas Merton nada é mais estranho para a Contemplação do que o modelo cartesiano do "Penso, logo existo" de René Descartes. No caminho contemplativo, o ser humano descobre que sua existência não depende do pensamento, mas de algo mais profundo: a consciência silenciosa que permanece quando o pensamento se aquieta."No silêncio do intelecto, Deus é conhecido. Quando o pensar cessa, o Ser se revela".

What if Earth is developing a planetary collective intelligence emerging from the convergence of ecological crisis, new global information systems, and the data-crunching capabilities of artificial intelligence? This provocative question drives economist Topher McDougal's book, Gaia Wakes: Earth's Emergent Consciousness in an Age of Environmental Devastation. On this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, explore McDougal's sweeping theory that our planet may be in the early stages of developing what he calls a "Gaiacephalos"—a planetary consciousness that could fundamentally reshape humanity's role in the global ecosystem. McDougal opens his book with a striking metaphor from Star Trek: The Next Generation, where the Enterprise's computer systems flicker into sentience, its emerging "personality" acting out disagreements in the holodeck that nearly destroy the ship. That episode, McDougal argues, mirrors our current moment. As environmental devastation accelerates and technologies become increasingly networked, we may be witnessing the birth pangs of a planetary intelligence that could guide us toward survival or react chaotically to the damage humans have caused.Building on James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, which views Earth as a self-regulating living system, McDougal explores the profound and unsettling implications of Gaiacephalos. What is humanity's role? Noting a paradox in human development, that societies have become increasingly peaceful at the expense of massive environmental degradation, McDougal discusses how concepts like "progress" and "free will" might change in a world governed by an emergent planetary intelligence. Drawing on ancient myths—from Hopi legends to the Tower of Babel—McDougal uses traditional stories as lenses for understanding global transformation. Throughout our conversation, he repeatedly references the work of René Descartes and how his mind-body split has defined Western thinking since the Enlightenment. He argues that this mechanistic view prevents us from understanding emerging systems holistically—whether we're talking about AI, collective intelligence, or planetary consciousness. We keep separating the physical system that performs calculations from the experience of thought itself, missing the integrated whole. Consequently, becoming "indigenous to our times" offers a path forward. Rather than appropriating Indigenous ways of life, he suggests we need to learn how to live fully in relationship with our current systems and places. True indigeneity means understanding our role within larger systems and, as the apex predator currently destroying the ecosystem we depend on, being thoughtful about our interactions within that system.What if Earth is developing a planetary collective intelligence emerging from the convergence of ecological crisis, new global information systems, and the data-crunching capabilities of artificial intelligence? This provocative question drives economist Topher McDougal's book, Gaia Wakes: Earth's Emergent Consciousness in an Age of Environmental Devastation. On this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, we explore McDougal's sweeping theory that our planet may be in the early stages of developing what he calls a "Gaiacephalos"—a planetary consciousness that could fundamentally reshape humanity's role in the global ecosystem. McDougal opens his book with a striking metaphor from Star Trek: The Next Generation, where the Enterprise's computer systems flicker into sentience, its emerging "personality" acting out disagreements in the holodeck that nearly destroy the ship. That episode, McDougal argues, mirrors our current moment. As environmental devastation accelerates and technologies become increasingly networked, we may be witnessing the birth pangs of a planetary intelligence that could guide us toward survival or react chaotically to the damage humans have caused.Building on James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, which views Earth as a self-regulating living system, McDougal explores the profound and unsettling implications of Gaiacephalos. What is humanity's role? Noting a paradox in human development, that societies have become increasingly peaceful at the expense of massive environmental degradation, McDougal discusses how concepts like "progress" and "free will" might change in a world governed by an emergent planetary intelligence. Drawing on ancient myths—from Hopi legends to the Tower of Babel—McDougal uses traditional stories as lenses for understanding global transformation. Throughout our conversation, McDougal repeatedly references the work of René Descartes and how his mind-body split has defined Western thinking since the Enlightenment. He argues that this mechanistic view prevents us from understanding emerging systems holistically—whether we're talking about AI, collective intelligence, or planetary consciousness.

True indigeneity means understanding our role within larger systems and, as the apex predator currently destroying the ecosystem we depend on, being thoughtful about our interactions within that system.Gaia Wakes poses challenging questions about whether we're building toward a benign planetary intelligence or heading toward dystopian risks. McDougal doesn't offer easy answers, but he provides a framework for thinking about how technological trends—from AI and smart infrastructure to global information networks—might be assembling the components of a planetary brain. The book is part speculative theory, part analytical deep dive. It challenges readers to think beyond traditional boundaries between nature and technology, individual and collective intelligence, human agency and planetary systems.

Navigating the Trust Apocalypse: Examining Collective Agency and Distributed Cognitio

How do we rebuild trust and meaning in a world where certainty and connection are breaking down?   In this episode of The Lectern, John welcomes Kieran McCammon and Jordan Hall to discuss the 'trust apocalypse' and its intersection with the meaning crisis. They delve into the vicious cycle between the loss of trust and the fragmentation of communities, exploring how these issues reverberate through society. Kieran introduces his work on the Trust Foundation, which aims to address these challenges by leveraging collective agency, distributed cognition, and extended distributed labor. John and Jordan bring their expertise to discuss the deeper topics related to trust, faith, and the sacred, and how these concepts tie into addressing contemporary societal issues. They also highlight how we are at a pivotal moment where new forms of technology and community organization could help counteract the prevailing distrust and meaning crisis.   Jordan Hall is a futurist, systems strategist, and cultural philosopher exploring the deep structures shaping human coordination, meaning-making, and collective intelligence. A former tech executive and early internet pioneer, Jordan now works at the intersection of theory and practice, developing frameworks for catalytic communities capable of responding to complex, civilizational-scale challenges. His work emphasizes the collapse of trust-based and certainty-driven systems, proposing instead a reorientation toward spirit-infused participation, sacred purpose, and voluntary necessity. A key contributor to the Trust Foundation, Jordan draws on cybernetics, epistemology, and meta-theory to guide the emergence of post-bureaucratic forms of social coherence and institutional renewal.   Keiron McCammon is a technology entrepreneur and systems thinker whose work addresses the intersection of social trust, digital infrastructure, and collective agency. A veteran of Silicon Valley's early Web 2.0 era, he helped build the foundations of the social internet before turning his focus to the unintended consequences of digital connectivity. As co-founder of the Trust Foundation, Keiron investigates the societal breakdown he terms the "trust apocalypse," analyzing how technological design, institutional failure, and civic fragmentation have eroded our collective sense of meaning and belonging. Drawing on frameworks from network theory, systems thinking, and military innovation, his work catalyzes action-oriented communities aimed at rebuilding trust across personal, institutional, and technological domains.   The Trust Foundation Sunday Labs The Philosophical Silk Road Project   (00:00) – Introduction and excitement for the conversation (00:30) – Introducing Kieran McCammon and the trust apocalypse (01:30) – Exploring the trust apocalypse and its implications (04:00) – Kieran's background and the evolution of trust issues (05:00) – The role of technology and the breakdown of trust (06:30) – The Trust Foundation and catalytic communities (11:00) – The deep connection between trust and meaning (18:00) – Historical context and the collapse of certainty (28:00) – The need for a shared sacred canopy (30:50) – “A catalytic community can't exist without a calling—a sacred purpose that's bigger than any one of us.” (39:00) – Challenges of technology and cross-cultural pluralism (47:30) – Exploring voluntary necessity (49:00) – Certainty vs. trust (50:30) – The breakdown of societal trust (52:00) – The role of technology in trust erosion (54:00) – The attention economy and trustworthy AI (01:02:00) – The concept of abundance vs. scarcity (01:10:00) – Cultivating wisdom and trust (01:23:00) – The spiritual war and meaning crisis (01:27:00) – Call to action: building catalytic communities       —   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult

In this episode, we delve into one of the most profound and contested questions in both philosophy and esotericism: What is the self in magical practice?Drawing on thinkers such as René Descartes, David Hume, and Carl Jung, we examine how the self has been variously conceived as a rational substance, a bundle of perceptions, or an archetypal totality. We then explore how these models intersect with key esoteric frameworks, from Aleister Crowley's doctrine of the True Will and the invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel, to the layered soul of Hermetic Qabalah, and the radically performative self of chaos magic.Is the magical self unified, fragmented, performative, or transcendent? And how do different traditions answer this question through their rituals, symbols, and spiritual technologies?Join me as we explore the shifting boundaries between self, soul, and sorcery.CONNECT & SUPPORT

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Doug Howarth about hypernomics and improving our understanding of markets and decision-making processes. At fourteen, Doug Howarth was faced with a problem that would pursue him for decades. He had just been exposed to the 2D and 3D coordinate systems of René Descartes. While they offered a framework for many problems, he wondered: What other plotting systems exist that we haven't seen? Shortly after, Doug found out that his kidneys were failing and that clouded his thinking. Persevering through this challenge, he majored in economics at Washington State University, graduating top of his class. In 2002, Doug's best friend, Tim Schreiner, gave him a kidney. When he came to after the operation, his brain was clear for the first time in thirty years, and he was determined to make maximal use of his improved mental capacity. Not long after that, when he and his wife went shopping for a new washing machine, as she weighed her options aloud, he realized she had solved a multidimensional problem in her head. He instantly recognized that people throughout the store were subconsciously doing similar evaluations for all their considered purchases. In that moment, Doug Howarth discovered Hypernomics, the study of market actions across four or more dimensions, the plotting systems he had been wondering about for three decades. He founded Hypernomics Inc. on his ideas, which has worked for NASA, Virgin Galactic, and Lockheed Martin. Along with two others, he's been awarded US Patent 10,402,838 for the world's first 4D analytic software. Wiley will publish his book, Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems, in January 2024. Check out all of the podcasts in the HCI Podcast Network!

Christine Valters Paintner is joined by author Claudia Love Mair for a series of video conversations. Every other month they take up a new book by or about a voice of color. The community is invited to purchase and read the books in advance and participate actively in this journey of deepening, discovery, and transformation. This month they sat down with Patrick Saint-Jean to discuss his book The Spirituality of Transformation, Joy, and Justice: The Ignatian Way for Everyone. Discover how rooting our beliefs and practices in relationship–with each other, the natural world, and the Source of All Life–leads us to transform ourselves and the world. At its heart, Ignatian spirituality is practical and experiential, offering modern readers a structure for pursuing inner growth that results in transformed action. While it is a deeply contemplative practice, Ignatian spirituality appeals to many of us who are looking for purpose and meaning, and who are wondering how to live out that purpose in a way that addresses the brokenness of our world. At the heart of this thoughtful introduction to Ignatian spirituality are the Spiritual Exercises, developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola of Spain. Using ordinary language, these meditations point to the ways in which this spiritual path not only “grows our souls” but also inspires us to defend human rights, respect and listen to other cultures, find common ground between science and religion, struggle for justice, and honor a Divine Spirit who is actively at work in each aspect of our world. As twenty-first-century spiritual seekers, we do not need to be Jesuits, Catholics, or even Christians to make use of Ignatius's methods; some of history's most important thinkers–from René Descartes to Carl Jung–were influenced and inspired by the Spiritual Exercises. Let them guide you to transformation in the ordinary, everyday world. AbbeyoftheArts.com/lift-every-voice/the-spirituality-of-transformation/

SYNOPSIS: Ali is in the hot seat today! The tables have turned as longtime friend, student and Television Producer, Lauren Gleason, interviews Ali about her body-based method, Personal Geometry® - a practice she developed to give the body a language that our cognitive minds can immediately access and understand.  Together, they explore how Personal Geometry® and body mapping techniques are used in therapeutic and clinical healing, particularly in addressing challenges related to the body, sexuality, and addiction. Ali shares how she refined her method while working in renowned rehab centres in Los Angeles, offering real-life examples of its impact and honoring the influence and her experience of Family Constellation Work.They discuss the power of mapping relational dynamics - how visualizing the roles we hold in family systems can illuminate unconscious patterns, especially in the context of addiction and trauma. Other topics explored include the common phenomenon of emotional incest, the challenges and call to work with perpetrators, sexual biases as a facilitator, and our universal need to belong.At its core, Personal Geometry® is a somatic practice that taps into the body's innate, felt-sense understanding of spatial relationships.

It seeks to uncover hidden dynamics, unresolved traumas, or entanglements in the family lineage that may influence current issues. The process often involves using group role-play or visualization to represent family members and relationships, creating a “constellation” that reveals these patterns and helps to restore balance and harmony. See Transgenerational Healing Films: https://constellationarts.com/Walking in Your Shoes: WIYS is a process that allows the practitioner, in partnership with a facilitator, to address questions or needs through an intuitive questioning of the body-mind through movement.

Lore about ghosts and haunted places doesn't figure prominently in French culture– at least not as much as it does in places like the US, the UK, Ireland, and Japan. One might even argue that, since the French Revolution, France has prided itself on its purported rationality, rejection of superstition, and what it often calls its “Cartesian” way of seeing the world (after the pre-Enlightenment philosopher René Descartes).Support the pod:www.patreon.com/monsterfuzzCheck out our merch:https://monster-fuzz.creator-spring.comEverything else!www.linktr.ee/monsterfuzz

The Relationship Between Philosophy and Christianity In today's episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Groothuis delves into the intricate relationship between philosophy and Christianity, particularly through the lens of various philosophical thinkers from ancient Greece to modern times. Philosophy as the Study of Reality Dr. Groothuis begins by defining philosophy as the study of reality, emphasizing its role in addressing fundamental questions about existence, meaning, and the good life. This critical inquiry is intrinsic to human nature, as individuals seek to understand their origins, purpose, and destiny. Philosophy encourages the use of reason and structured arguments to explore these ultimate issues, aligning with the Christian pursuit of truth. The Presocratics and the Search for Truth The conversation highlights the Presocratic philosophers, such as Thales and Heraclitus, who sought to explain the nature of reality without relying on mythology. Their quest for a singular truth that underpins all existence laid the groundwork for later philosophical thought, including Christian philosophy. The desire for objective truth resonates with the Christian worldview, which posits that God is the ultimate source of truth and meaning. Socrates and the Examination of Life Socrates, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, is noted for his assertion that "the unexamined life is not worth living." This idea aligns with Christian thought, which encourages believers to engage deeply with their faith and the moral implications of their actions. Socrates' method of questioning and critical thinking serves as a model for Christians to explore their beliefs and understand the nature of God and morality. The Influence of Plato and Aristotle Plato's theory of forms introduces the concept of an immaterial realm that transcends the physical world, suggesting that true knowledge comes from understanding these eternal forms. While there are overlaps between Platonic thought and Christianity, such as the belief in a higher reality, Dr. Grutais points out significant differences, particularly regarding the nature of creation and the goodness of the material world. Aristotle, on the other hand, emphasizes empirical observation and the importance of the natural world, which can complement a Christian understanding of God's creation. Augustine's Integration of Philosophy and Faith St. Augustine emerges as a crucial figure in the synthesis of philosophy and Christian theology. His reflections in "The Confessions" illustrate the interplay between his philosophical inquiries and personal experiences of sin and redemption. Augustine's famous assertion that "our hearts are restless until they rest in you" encapsulates the Christian belief that true fulfillment is found in a relationship with God. His work demonstrates how philosophical analysis can deepen one's understanding of faith. The Modern Philosophical Landscape Moving into the modern era, figures like René Descartes and Blaise Pascal further explore the relationship between reason and faith. Descartes' method of doubt and his famous conclusion, "I think, therefore I am," highlight the importance of rational inquiry while also acknowledging the limitations of human understanding. Pascal, known for his insights into the human condition, emphasizes the need for both reason and intuition in understanding God, famously stating that "the heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of." Kierkegaard's Existential Approach Finally, Søren Kierkegaard's existential philosophy challenges the compatibility of faith and reason. While he advocates for a passionate, subjective engagement with truth, he also critiques the notion of faith as a mere leap into the unknown. Kierkegaard's focus on the individual's relationship with God resonates with the Christian emphasis on personal faith and the transformative power of Christ. Conclusion Philosophy and Christianity are deeply intertwined, with each philosophical thinker contributing to the ongoing dialogue about truth, existence, and the nature of God. From the ancient Greeks to modern philosophers, the quest for understanding reality continues to shape Christian thought, encouraging believers to engage critically with their faith and the world around them.

Welcome to another episode of Behind the Numbers, hosted by Dave Bookbinder. Today, we delve into the intriguing world of hypernomics with Doug Howarth, the CEO of Hypernomics, Inc. and author of "Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems." Doug shares his unique insights on how hypernomics can reveal the underlying structures that support and constrain market numbers in various industries. Doug introduces the concept of hypernomics, explaining how it rearranges familiar market elements into multidimensional views, offering a deeper understanding of market dynamics. For instance, in the housing market, hypernomics can elucidate the relationships between factors like square footage, lot size, and price, and can predict the upper limits of housing prices in a given area. This methodology has proven effective across multiple industries, beyond just raw commodities. Doug illustrates the practical applications of hypernomics with relatable examples, such as choosing a washing machine and optimizing restaurant seating during COVID-19. These stories demonstrate how hypernomics can simplify complex decisions and improve business outcomes, even for small local businesses. In the episode, Doug also discusses how hypernomics can be a powerful tool for business leaders, offering a competitive advantage by identifying market gaps and potential new products. The software developed by Hypernomics, Inc. allows businesses to map out competitive spaces and understand the demand limits for their products, preventing costly mistakes and maximizing profitability. Investors can also benefit from hypernomics. Doug explains how their private fund, using principles of hypernomics, significantly outperformed the S&P 500, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in stock market investing. Looking to the future, Doug envisions hypernomics becoming an integral part of industry, academia, and government, revolutionizing how we understand and navigate markets. He hopes that hypernomics will be taught in universities and widely adopted, making the world a better place through more informed decision-making. To learn more about hypernomics, connect with Doug Howarth on his personal website dughowarth.com or visit the company website at hypernomics.com. You can also find his book on the Wiley, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon websites. About our guest: Doug Howarth, CEO Hypernomics, Inc. & Author of Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems Doug Howarth unleashed a paradigm shift. He discovered Hypernomics. It alters economics in the same way relativity changed physics, as it uses new frames of reference. It starts with four dimensions and adds time for a fifth. But, there is no upper limit to the dimensions considered. It finds the linked, opposing, self-organizing states of Value and Demand at work against each other at all times - just like the game of tug-of-war.  At age 14, Doug Howarth sensed the plotting systems created by René Descartes were inadequate for many tasks. Decades later, he made a series of startling discoveries. He found the economy self-organizes in recognizable opposing patterns and devised ways to portray markets in four, five, or any number of dimensions. Doug named this new field Hypernomics. In 2011, he formed a company, Hypernomics, Inc., who show their customers how to take advantage of Hypernomics.  Hypernomics. Inc. has worked for NASA, United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, among others. Along with two of his Hypernomics colleagues, he was awarded US Patent Number 10,402,838 for Multivariable Regression Analysis, the world's first software designed to deconstruct markets into their 4D structures. ​Doug has written 13 peer-reviewed publications across four continents.  They've been issued by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS), among others. NASA has requested that he speak to them three times. He has spoken to the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in London four times, and they have published his peer-reviewed work as well. About Dave Bookbinder: Dave Bookbinder is the person that clients reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth. He's a corporate finance executive with a focus on business and intellectual property valuation. Known as a collaborative adviser, Dave has served thousands of client companies of all sizes and industries.  Dave is the author of two #1 best-selling books about the impact of human capital (PEOPLE!) on the valuation of a business enterprise called The NEW ROI: Return On Individuals & The NEW ROI: Going Behind The Numbers.  He's on a mission to change the conversation about how the accounting world recognizes the value of people's contributions to a business enterprise, and to quantify what every CEO on the planet claims: “Our people are this company's most valuable asset.”

Philosophy is about concepts – what it is to be moral, to be in love, or belong to the human species – and these concepts pervade every aspect of our lives. Yet, what images come to mind when you think of Immanuel Kant, David Hume, or René Descartes? For many of us, we imagine Descartes in his armchair, Hume at his desk, and Kant on one of his solitary walks. We certainly don't imagine these figures, wearing boiler suits… For Mary Midgley, the image of a philosopher withdrawn from the realities of everyday affairs represents precisely where philosophy has gone wrong. For Midgley, philosophy is best understood – not as an exercise of self-indulgent scholarship – but as a sort of plumbing. Our concepts run through our societies like the pipes through our homes, and it's the job of the philosopher – that is, the plumber – to examine the pipes and keep the water from swamping the kitchen floor. For Midgley, we need philosophy, just as we need plumbing…philosophy's not a luxury; it's a necessity. Joining us to discuss the philosophy of Mary Midgley is Dr Ellie Robson. Dr Robson is a British Society for the History of Philosophy Postdoctoral Fellow and Teaching Associate at Nottingham University.
