If you throw a rock into a still pond, waves ripple outward. They jiggle the leaves and bugs on the surface, shaking things up a bit. And the same thing happens in the stars. In fact, a giant region of the sky is still feeling some “ripples” today. The Scorpius-Centaurus O-B Association contains many stars of classes O and B – the hottest and brightest stars in the galaxy. It spans hundreds of light-years, and contains thousands of stars. And more stars are being born there today. The association began as a massive cloud of gas and dust. About 20 million years ago, it produced a big “wave” of starbirth. Many of the newborn stars quickly exploded as supernovas. That outburst was the “stone” in the pond. Strong winds and shockwaves from the stars rippled outward. That triggered the birth of more stars in the surrounding cloud. The rate of starbirth peaked about 15 million years ago. But the ripples didn’t stop. They created a smaller outburst about 10 million years ago, and another about five million years ago. Most of the stars in the region are no bigger than the Sun. But a few are big, heavy, and bright – monster stars born from the ripples in a galactic pond. Many of these monsters are in Scorpius, which is low in the south at nightfall, to the right of the Moon. It’s marked by the scorpion’s bright “heart,” the star Antares – the most prominent member of the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. Script by Damond Benningfield

Susannah Crockford is a lecturer in anthropology, specialising in environmental and medical anthropology and the anthropology of religion. Her first book, Ripples of the Universe: Spirituality in Sedona, Arizona, explored New Age Spirituality of the Mecca of all things New Agey in the States. I came across her work as I was trying to get a stronger grounding of the harmful overlap between neoliberal individualism and health, wellness and spirituality. It's a dangerous combination, and Susannah has put in a lot of good work exploring this from an anthropological perspective. One of the results of economic individualism dancing with health and wellness is a growing feeling among many that I can't trust anyone but myself and the products I purchase. This collective paranoia is infecting big sections of our population. This isn't the ‘let's bash those crazy new agers who believe wild theories about the nature of the world' – it's a look beneath what's going on at the surface. This is often a demographic who have been let down by the medical sector, who are disillusioned with modern politics and who have been directed down the slip road of simple explanations of why things are the way they are. I think this will prove helpful for anyone who wants to learn more about the forces behind the growing divisiveness and the lack of agreement on the truth. Also, if you have been exposed to conspiratorial media or a friend of yours has, this might give you an important perspective with which to view what is going on. As always, thanks, Susannah, for your time, thanks to you for listening and if you'd like to learn more about Susannah's work and the topics explored in this podcast, check out the links below:https://experts.exeter.ac.uk/38354-susannah-crockford/abouthttps://open.spotify.com/show/0U49MjvxOCZ87frBk7R1vA
Karma is viewed as a fundamental principle in the spiritual world, suggesting that everything we do, say, and even think generates consequences that eventually come back to us, whether in this life or in the future. My guests, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine, believe that karma influences not only our individual situations but also the broader social landscape. They are here to share their insights on its impact and to suggest a constructive way to move forward. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche was born in the Amdo region of historic Tibet and received a traditional monastic education and later studied under several respected Tibetan lamas. Today, he teaches Vajrayana Buddhism at the Jigme Lingpa Center in San Diego, California. Mordy Levine is an entrepreneur, meditation teacher, and the president of the Jigme Lingpa Center. He also created the Meditation Pro Series, a meditation program designed to alleviate chronic health issues. In this discussion, Lama and Mordy demonstrate the principles of karma in everyday life and suggest ways to cultivate positive karma. They draw from the Buddhist perspective, highlighting how it fosters compassion, joy, and inner peace amidst the uncertainties of life.

Content warning: child sexual abuse material, child sexual assault, sexual assault, nonconsensual pornography, sexual violence, sexual paraphilia, and pedophilia. Kim is a mother and nurse from Indiana. She reached out to the Broken Cycle Media team in hopes of sharing her story for the first time to bring awareness to a trajectory she never thought she would have had to traverse. Nearly a decade into her marriage, her whole life changed with a home raid by the FBI and several other criminal justice forces. The organizations would consequently find a large catalogue of child sexual abuse material in her then-husband's possession. However, at the start, Kim was not aware of all facets of his crimes. It would eventually take her years to learn everything, as well as to receive what closure the legal system offered. We are so grateful that Kim was willing to highlight all that continues to come next for her and her children, and that she is sharing her immense fortitude and strength with our audience today.

An executive order from US president Donald Trump aimed at fast-tracking seabed mining is causing ripples in the Pacific region. Anti-deep sea mining advocates say the order likely risks Nauru's ambitions to mine in an area of the high seas known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Nauru alongside Tonga, Kiribati and Cook Islands, have special rights in the zone through the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and International Seabed Authority. Advocates warn Trump's order, and the behaviour of Canadian mining group The Metals Company, risk these, even though Nauru and Tonga are its partners. Teuila Fua-tai compiled this report.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the emotional and spiritual lessons I learned during a crazy event involving my son. While he was physically safe, the ripple effects of the situation had me spiritually curious. This conversation is all about the ripple effect—how events don't just impact the people at the center, but everyone around them. Whether it's a crisis, a breakthrough, or a turning point, it sends energy outward, touching more hearts than we realize. I also share a gentle reminder: our loved ones are limitless souls on their own sacred journey.

Send me a Text Message!Our eyes are often drawn to what we think are the great events of our day. We imagine that God only manages his world through the great events. But when we read His story, we can't help bu see that His plans often begin with a baby. When the gospel needs to go out; when a country needs to be liberated; when a song needs to be song; or a book needs to be written; or a medical breaththrough needs to occur; God sends a baby to do it. Is it any wonder that when the world needed to be saved, God came as a baby. But like a rock dropped in water, that baby started a ripple of generosity and kindness, a ripple of grace and power, a ripple of heaven on earth that changed the world. And if we let Jesus start a ripple in our lives, it will become a ripple that changes those around us.Let's start a ripple of Jesus!
