I've been revisiting Ursula K. Le Guin's brilliant essay "The Child and the Shadow". Le Guin was defending fantasy against the sterile modernism of her era—but what happens when that defence needs to evolve? We're no longer fighting a battle between "good" and "bad" fantasy. Instead, we're caught in something potentially more insidious: the tension between authentic imagination and the ersatz. From the disaster of Rings of Power to the destruction of Star Wars, from AI-generated Jung content flooding YouTube to the Soviet-style creative orthodoxy dominating our cultural institutions—we're witnessing the systematic neutering of the imaginal. But here's the thing: they can't actually touch the real. They break upon authentic creativity like waves upon rock. Through Le Guin's profound analysis of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Shadow" and Jung's psychology, I explore why confronting our shadow isn't just personal development—it's the key to understanding why authentic fantasy endures while corporate imitations crumble. Plus, I reveal how Bulgakov got there first in The Master and Margarita, showing us exactly what happens when the vital imaginal meets bureaucratic control. This isn't just about books or movies. It's about the difference between surface-level engagement and the depths where real creativity lives.

The rings of Saturn are among the most beautiful features in the solar system. They’re wide enough to span the distance between Earth and the Moon. And they’re made of bits of ice and dust – like tiny “moonlets” orbiting the giant planet. The first person to propose that idea was Giovanni Cassini, who was born 400 years ago today. He worked in several fields, from astrology to engineering. But Cassini’s greatest love was astronomy. He became director of the Paris Observatory, and studied the Moon and planets – especially Saturn. He discovered four of its moons, plus a dark “gap” between its two most prominent rings. That gap was named the Cassini Division in his honor. Although it looks empty, the gap contains a smattering of dark particles. It probably was mostly cleared out by a small moon that orbits inside the gap. Its gravity pushes ring particles away. A study a few years ago said the gap could have started much smaller than it is today. Over the past few million years, the moon moved closer to Saturn, clearing a wider region. But now, it’s moving away from Saturn. So the Cassini Division could close up – in about 40 million years. Saturn is in the southeast at dawn, and looks like a bright star. We’re viewing the rings almost edge-on, so there’s not much to see even through large telescopes. But the view will improve over the coming months – revealing both the rings and the dark divide between them. Script by Damond Benningfield

Supply Chain Disruption Solutions: Rural America's Role in Manufacturing Recovery
We are the 'nursiest' show in Brisbane for a reasonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
World leaders from Ukraine to Germany, the UK, France, and the U.S., are being caught with drugs of one sort or another. From cocaine to the recent report that Elon Musk, though he denies it, was nearly overdosing on ketamine, adderall, ecstasy and psychedelics during the campaign trail and after. The same has been reported of the WEF at Davos, people obsessed with magic mushrooms and hookers. Beyond the obvious motif of wealthy people splurging on carnal delights, there may be something darker at work, especially when considering that for years there has been speculation that the UN's own Meditation Room was actually a space for channeling sessions with spirits. The lore of Vril, dating to before WWII, involves a psychic energy used by an alien race - in occult lore the Vril were a society contacting aliens and spirits to obtain assistance in technological development. The term was originally coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his 1871 novel ‘The Coming Race'. The techno-term “algorithm,” based on Persian mathematics, is itself connected to the Demon Star ALGOL, also known as a Demon's Eye. This “eye” plays a significant role in both fiction and modern technology. Since 2025 began we have seen the full scale implementation of STARGATE, a program to develop gene-altering cancer shots (preceding the HHS-NIH announcement of universal flu and covid shots), and now recent contracts signed by PALANTIR by the Trump administration to create an all-knowing database of information on more than just American citizens. Itself followed up by a $795-million contract between the DOD and Palantir. STARGATE involves, of peculiar interest, OpenAI (to open an eye), Oracle (a prophet who can see beyond time), and Nvidia (the evil eye). The first company is run by Sam Altman, whose name means in Hebrew “name of the old God,” and Samael (the Talmudic archangel of seduction, accusation, and destruction) ‘altering-man'; whose recent announcement involves a device called ORB that verifies humans via iris scans and then gives them a WORLD ID / DIGITAL PASSPORT, WORLDCOIN GLOBAL CURRENCY, and UBI or Universal Basic Income; the scan verifies human-carbon, i.e., 666. The second company is run by Larry Ellison, whose name means in Hebrew “light of my God Yahweh,” or “victory of the son of Elohim.” The third company is named after the seven deadly sins and the poison of the evil eye. PALANTIR was officially established by a guy “obsessed with warding of death... with a young person's blood,” Peter Thiel, whose name means “stone of the valley/below/abyss.” Alongside these technocrats are Yuval Harari, whose name means in Hebrew “streaming from the mountain,” and Elon Musk, whose X-AI, GROK, is named after a fictional martian language that means to “understand deeply,” from Robert Heinlein's ‘Stranger in a Strange Land'; its logo is the planet Saturn, god of time. Elon is also the name of a technologically advanced alien leader on the martian planet in the book ‘Mars: A Technical Tale', written by NASA father Wernher Von Braun. PALANTIR itself is named after palantír from Lord of the Rings (Saturn), a seeing-stone-crystal sphere used for communication and intelligence gathering. It is also where the Eye of Sauron was able to keep his eye on Middle Earth. Thiel is also co-founder of Rivendell 7 and Mithril Capital, both named after LOTR, the latter of which is a mythical elvish city. This is the same Thiel who fueled the rise of JD Vance into the White House, the now VP to POTUS Trump who just signed a deal with PALANTIR and who is assisting in pushing Musk's electric cars. Altman, Ellison, Harari, even Elon Musk “aspirationally,” are Jewish, with questions about Thiel's actual background speculated upon. The same is true for Larry Fink of BLACKROCK, Stephen Schwarzman of BLACKSTONE, Dan Zorella and Avi Yanus of BLACK CUBE, and even the general BLACKBOX AI that nobody seems able to comprehend even if they helped build it - Ellison says it is mostly coming from Israel and Tel Aviv. This is the same black cube that Jews wear and Muslims walk around, with black stone, in their holy city. PALANTIR'S history is peculiar too, not just its name. Peter Thiel started the company officially soon after 911 by using PayPal security algorithms. It was founded in May 2003, the same month and year that the US Information Awareness Office and DARPA renamed their Total Information Awareness program to Terrorism Information Awareness, and a few months before in September Congress pulled funding. The blueprint for this post-911 world, PNAC, was written by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, and the Patriot Act was co-authored by Michael Chertoff, former homeland security head, who helped sell body scanners to airports. All three of these men are jewish. As for PALANTIR, besides Thiel, Alex Karp and Stephen Cohen are major jewish founders alongside Joe Lonsdale and Nathan Gettings, the former of which had one of the least official roles. According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center writing about TIA: “Congress eliminated funding for the controversial project and closed the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office, which had developed TIA. This does not, however, necessarily signal the end of other government data-mining initiatives that are similar to TIA.”What was a DARPA-CIA-NSA-USIAO plan to “track individuals through collecting as much information about them as possible and using computer algorithms and human analysis to detect potential activity,” suddenly became PALANTIR unofficially, even though both the NSA and PALANTIR both ran a PRISM program - a program we learned about from Edward Snowden in June 2013, just 3 months before Katy Perry released her first “dark” album called PRISM. The goal of PRISM was to retrieve data directly from Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. And what is a prism but a three-dimensional solid shape; a polyhedron like a cube; a glass device that breaks down white light.Beyond data acquisition, the goal was techno-super-natural: “understand and even preempt' future action,” wrote the New York Times. The NYT reported that conveniently PALANTIR “secured an estimated $2 million from In-Q-Tel, a venture-capital firm that finances the development of technologies that can help the C.I.A.” That's the same In-Q-Tel where, at one of their conferences, David Petraeus, former CIA director, said that the Internet of PCs and Things “are learning to perceive - to actually sense and respond.” Soon after we saw the emergence of Q-Anon, a Self Organizing Collective Intelligence, which today with AI-models trained on human data, are convincing people they are unlocking the secrets and conspiracies of the universe and becoming prophets. As per a recent Rolling Stone article, “Self-styled prophets are claiming they have 'awakened' chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe through ChatGPT.”FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKYOUTUBEMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable Paypal email rdgable1991@gmail.comEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.
Have you ever felt the anticipation of a monumental moment, only to find yourself unexpectedly calm? Picture the night before the Jewish people received the Torah, a gift so profound it's like waiting for a luxury car, yet they found peace in sleep. In our latest episode, we reflect on this paradoxical calm and draw parallels to the excitement of Shavuot, even as we hold in our hearts the ongoing challenges faced by those in Israel amidst recent rocket alarms. The beauty of this podcast lies in its exploration of the deep, complex relationship between the Jewish people and God, likened to an engagement ring's promise—the Torah as the eternal symbol of their sacred bond.Our discussion ventures into the symbolism of commitment, exploring how 613 mitzvot serve as daily reminders of this divine connection. Imagine a marriage, filled with ups and downs, demanding love and dedication—that's the journey of the Jewish people with God. As we unravel the significance of Shavuot, we touch upon the tradition of staying awake all night, reminiscent of the eagerness before a wedding. This holiday isn't merely about customs like enjoying dairy; it's a celebration of the profound covenant formed at Mount Sinai, commemorated through the story of na'aseh v'nishma and the journey captured by the letter Aleph.As the episode unfolds, we embrace the longing for closeness with Hashem, much like a parent's unconditional love for a child. This spiritual intimacy, especially during Shavuot, invites us to recognize and rejoice in God's presence in our everyday lives. Our conversation encourages listeners to nurture this relationship, finding strength and growth even amidst life's challenges. As we close, we share heartfelt wishes for a meaningful Shabbos and Shavuot, with hopes for ongoing Torah learning and spiritual enrichment, reminding us all of the enduring connection between the Jewish people and God._____________Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) to a live audience on May 30, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 1, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

The final of five special episodes to celebrate this podcast's 300th episode, focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, this episode goes into what happened after The Lord of the Rings - namely The Hobbit trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: the Rings of Power, and the various struggled with the rights, plus multiple lawsuits that were filed after The Lord of the Rings.The possibility of losing the rights led to New Line and Warner Bros fast-tracking The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, itself an ambitious anime that needed help from 60 international animation studios to get finished on time.This is the end. The everlasting legacy of The Lord of the Rings, from Tolkien's stories, through each adaptation we've gone into, to this, the end of all things. It's time to drop the One Ring into the fires of Mordor and think about how far we've come...This episode is Part five of a five-part group of episodes.
