He was a fashionable, successful, wealthy writer and the preeminent poet of his age. He was also a canny businessman who published his translations of Homer via subscription, an early form of crowdfunding, and they sold so well he built himself, an extravagantly large villa in Twickenham – and its famous subterranean grotto still exists today. His political satires were so sharp and topical that he was rumoured to carry a pair of loaded pistols when going for a walk, in case one of his targets took violent exception. Phrases from his poetry are still proverbial: ‘hope springs eternal', ‘Fools rush in where angels fear to tread', ‘a little learning is a dangerous thing', ‘To err is human; to forgive divine', ‘What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed', and also the title of the movie, ‘eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'. But these days, Pope has really fallen out of fashion. He's seen as archaic and artificial. In an age when formal poetry is out of fashion, for many people he represents the worst kind of formal poetry: his very regular metre and full rhymes sound clunky to our ears. His rhyming couplets are undoubtedly clever, but that's part of the problem, because these days we associate poetry with emotions and self-expression, so cleverness is seen as a little suspect and somehow inauthentic. And I'll be honest, for a long time, I had that image of Pope. He represented everything the Romantics rebelled against at the end of the 18th century, and as a young poet I was on the side of the Romantics, so I had no interest in Pope. However, a few years ago, I challenged myself to have another look at his work, and what I discovered was a really sharp and thought-provoking and witty and formidably skilful poet, who in certain moods, is an absolute pleasure to read. And he doesn't fit every mood, but then there aren't many poets who do. So turning to today's poem, An Essay on Man is one of Pope's major works, it's about 1,300 lines long. As the title suggests it's a meditation on the nature of what he called mankind, and we call humankind, we have to make allowance for the historic focus on the male as representative of the species. It's also a didactic poem, he's not just reflecting on the subject, he is telling us what we should think about it. Which again, is a deeply unfashionable stance for poets these days, at least when they are on the side of a conservative or establishment position. And he does this in the form of a series of verse epistles, verse letters, which are addressed to Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke. The epistle form also means that the poem addresses the reader in a very direct manner, as you would expect in a letter. His basic stance, which we find in many of his poems, is of a reasonable man writing for a group of like-minded people, trying to establish some sort of common sense, shared ideas and principles, in a world where these need to be debated and defined and defended. This was the world of the coffee house and the salon, where people came together to debate, sometimes in very robust fashion. It came to be known as the Augustan age in English literature, by comparison with the satirical and political poetry of the age of Augustus Caesar. OK looking more closely at the poem itself, the excerpt I just read is from the second Epistle, and one of the first things we notice is what Milton would have called the ‘jingling' rhymes: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic’s pride, It's pretty unmistakeable isn't it? One pair of rhymes after another. And in case you're wondering, yes, these rhyming couplets do go on all the way through the poem, and indeed all the way through most of Pope's work. And not just in Pope: for over a century, from about 1650 to 1780, this was a hugely popular verse form. They are known as heroic couplets because they are associated with epic narrative poems, such as John Dryden's translations of Virgil and Pope's translations of Homer. Each line is in iambic pentameter, the familiar ti TUM ti TUM ti TUm ti TUM ti TUM, with two lines next to each other forming couplets, and the poem proceeding with one couplet after another. The form can be traced back to Chaucer, who used rhyming couplets for many of his narrative poems. But by the time of Dryden and Pope it had evolved into a tighter couplet form, described as closed couplets, meaning that they were typically self contained, with a sentence, or a discrete part of a sentence, beginning and ending inside the couplet. For instance: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. That stands on its own as a single thought, a unit of sense, ending with a full stop. And the full rhyme of ‘scan' and ‘man' means the couplet snaps shut at the end – this is the closed couplet effect we associate with heroic couplets. In the next couplet he introduces the idea of man as a creature of ‘middle state': Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: And then another couplet elaborates on the sense of being pulled in different directions: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride, So the poem proceeds one unit of sense at a time. The couplets are like Lego bricks, and Pope used them to build just about anything he wanted: literary and philosophical discourse here in the Essay on Man and in his Essay on Criticism; mock-heroic social comedy in The Rape of the Lock; actual epic in his translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey; and satire in The Dunciad. It's easy to see how this could become monotonous, and in the work of most poets of the time, it did. But Pope's great achievement was to take this established form and perfect it, sticking very strictly to the formal pattern, while varying the syntax, the grammatical patterns, with great subtlety and complexity, to keep the reader on their toes. Let's take another look at the first couplet. Notice the little pause in the middle of the first line, after ‘thyself': Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; This divides the line into two parts, conveying the dramatic tension in Pope's argument: he's saying that humans are ambitious for knowledge, they want to ‘scan' God, to examine him, but they should really focus on self-knowledge. This tension between opposites is known as antithesis, it's a rhetorical pattern we looked at back in episode 58 about one of Sir Philip Sidney's sonnets, and it's very common in Pope. And the tension is resolved in the next line, which is all one phrase, with no pause: The proper study of mankind is man. Have another listen to the couplet, to hear how the tension is established and then released: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. So when all of this comes together, the tension and release, the regular rhythm of the metre and the full rhymes clinching the couplet, it has the effect of making the words sound truer than true. The following couplet picks up on the antithesis, and extends it into paradox: Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: An isthmus is a narrow strip of land between two bodies of water, so standing on it, you could easily feel precarious and threatened. ‘Darkly wise' means ‘dimly wise', possessing a little knowledge, but not enough for full understanding. And ‘rudely great' means ‘powerful but coarse and unfinished'. And I think we can recognise what Pope is saying from our own experience – that sense of knowing enough to know how little we really know; of having great potential, but struggling to fulfil it. And isn't it delightful how Pope compresses all those feelings into these neat little paradoxes: ‘darkly wise and rudely great'. In another famous line, he describes true eloquence as ‘What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed', which is exactly what he achieves here. We can also note that ‘darkly wise' and ‘rudely great' are not only antitheses expressed as paradoxes, they are also an example of another rhetorical pattern: parallelism, where similar structures are repeated with variation. In this case ‘darkly' and ‘rudely' are both adverbs and ‘wise' and ‘great' are both adjectives, so grammatically they are identical, which suggests both similarity and difference in mankind's relationship to knowledge and power. The next couplet uses a more elaborate parallelism: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride, So both lines say ‘With too much something for the something else'. It's hard to miss the pattern, isn't it? And notice how the couplet form is perfect for laying out two ideas that seem to counterbalance each other perfectly. So we're only six lines in and Pope has put his finger on a central conundrum in human existence, and conveyed it with at least three rhetorical patterns nested inside each other – antithesis, paradox and parallelism. Not only that, he's handled the metre and rhyme with great skill, wrapping each thought up in the neat little bow of a rhyming couplet. And if your mind is starting to boggle, welcome to the world of Pope's verse: elegant, authoritative and very, very clever. When we look closely, there's a lot going on inside every single couplet. He's like a watchmaker, working at a tiny scale, making an instrument with great precision and balance, that keeps perfect time, and chimes beautifully. And Pope's contemporaries would have found it easier to follow the sense than we do, because they were used to reading this kind of stuff. But I'm sure the poetry would often have given them pause, even if only for a moment, as they read. And my guess is that they would have enjoyed this slight difficulty, and the pleasure of making out the sense, with the little dopamine hit of understanding. Like unwrapping a sweet before you can pop it in your mouth and taste it. So I hope we're starting to see why Pope is the undisputed master of the heroic couplet. Even T. S. Eliot had to admit defeat, when he wrote a passage in this style for The Waste Land, only for Ezra Pound to point out tactfully that he couldn't compete with Pope, and draw the red pencil through it. But the form is more than simply one couplet after another. When he stacks them together, they create verse paragraphs, longer units of thought, that function very like paragraphs in prose. So having established the idea of man caught between opposing forces, he goes on to elaborate on the theme to dazzling effect: He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reasoning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether he thinks too little, or too much: The couplets are individually brilliant, and cumulatively overwhelming, both in terms of the mental effort required to tease out their meanings, and the tension between action and inaction, divine and bestial impulses, mind and body, birth and death, reason and error. And I think that's why I find this line so funny: Whether he thinks too little, or too much: It feels like he's throwing his arms up and laughing and admitting that he's overthinking it all. The verse paragraph ends with three more couplets, where he sums up the nature of man: Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! Although Pope is describing a ‘chaos of thought', his own thinking is always sharp, however convoluted his argument becomes. So he sticks to the themes of power and knowledge, undercutting man's pretension by saying he is ‘Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all', and ‘Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled'. And he ends this paragraph with another rhetorical device, the tricolon, which uses three parallel elements to build to a conclusion: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! We're familiar with this pattern in famous quotes from Julius Caesar, ‘I came, I saw, I conquered', the US Declaration of Independence, ‘Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness', and Shakespeare: ‘Friends, Romans, countrymen!' Here, Pope uses it with typical precision, since if someone is both the ‘glory… of the world' and it's ‘jest', i.e. the butt of its jokes, then that makes that person a ‘riddle': The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! So this sums up the nature of man, and sets up the jesting irony of the next verse paragraph: Go, wondrous creature! mount where science guides, Go, measure earth, weigh air, and state the tides; Instruct the planets in what orbs to run, Correct old time, and regulate the sun; If this were the start of the poem, we might be forgiven for taking Pope's words at face value, but in the light of what has gone before, it's pretty clear that ‘wondrous creature' is a mocking criticism. He was writing this in an age where Newtonian physics was in the ascendancy and people were full of enthusiasm about the new discoveries in science and the possibility of understanding and mastering the physical world. And given that we are still living in a so-called age of reason, I think his criticisms of scientific overreach are still relevant, and the joke is still funny, when he talks about instructing the planets in what orbits to follow, correcting time and regulating the sun. As if measuring were full understanding, let alone complete power. But Pope doesn't confine his criticism to scientists. He also has philosophers in his sight: Go, soar with Plato to th' empyreal sphere, To the first good, first perfect, and first fair; Or tread the mazy round his followers trod, And quitting sense call imitating God; He clearly doesn't have a lot of time for Plato's first principles. Neither is he impressed by the contemporary vogue for what we would call Orientalism: As Eastern priests in giddy circles run, And turn their heads to imitate the sun. It's possible that he had in mind the whirling dervishes of Persia, or maybe this is just a caricature of his idea of ‘Eastern priests'. So obviously this is a joke that hasn't aged so well. OK he ends this verse paragraph with a final jab, which restates the idea from the opening couplet in bluntly comic fashion: Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule – Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! It's hard to imagine a more apt image of intellectual presumption than trying to teach Eternal Wisdom a thing or two, but just in case we miss the point, Pope rams it home with relish: Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! And this is another characteristic aspect of Augustan poetry, particularly the satirical kind, that it can be very crude and direct, with a passage of sophisticated argument followed by a line or two where the mask drops and the insult is laid bare. And no, it's not big or clever, but let's face it, sometimes it can be deeply satisfying. One more little detail, which I can't help wondering about: notice how both of these couplets, conveying the same basic idea in very different tones, both hinge on the word ‘thyself': Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule – Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! So that word ‘thyself' could be used to refer to various individuals, and knowing Pope, I wouldn't be surprised if he intended all of them at once. Firstly, the phrasing sounds proverbial, in which case each couplet is an injunction to mankind at large. Secondly, it could refer to the reader, any reader, of the poem, whether Viscount Bolingbroke, an 18th-century wit, or you and me, reading the poem together on this podcast. It could also refer to the specific targets of Pope's criticism, such as the overreaching scientists or philosophers. I think Pope may also have had in mind a target nearer to home: himself. W. B. Yeats wrote in one of his essays, ‘We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry'. And it's entirely possible that Pope is doing both at once: we've seen the brilliance of his rhetoric, in puncturing the pretensions of his fellow men and women. Yet by making poetry as well as rhetoric, he is arguably arguing with himself as well. It was of course be entirely right and proper and expected for a Christian such as Pope to admonish himself as well as others, for the many and various sins he describes in An Essay on Man. So from a moral viewpoint, I think I'm on pretty safe ground in suggesting that ‘thyself' includes Pope. But I would go further, and say that the idea of a brilliant mind that is not quite brilliant enough to fully understand itself may have been a deeply personal subject for Pope. Because what we have here is an extremely clever warning about taking cleverness to extremes. Maybe the irony was not lost on Pope. As he wrote in another poem, An Essay on Criticism, ‘A little learning is a dangerous thing'. So perhaps as we hear this passage again, and enjoy the sparkling wit and scurrilous attacks on others, we can also detect a note of self-reflection, and self-accusation, that makes it a little more poignant than it first appears.

As a Catholic he was barred from university and public office, so he educated himself and forged a brilliant literary career, becoming the leading poet of Augustan England, celebrated for his razor-sharp satire and polished heroic couplets. Early success came with An Essay on Criticism and The Rape of the Lock, followed by monumental translations of Homer that made him financially independent. His later works, including The Dunciad, attacked dullness and corruption. In An Essay on Man, he explored human nature, providence, and moral order with epigrammatic clarity. He lived at Twickenham, where he created a famous garden and grotto.   A Mouthful of Air – the podcast This is a transcript of an episode of A Mouthful of Air – a poetry podcast hosted by Mark McGuinness.

Author and architectural glass artist Robert Sowers wrote that lead should be considered a design element and not just a matrix to hold stained glass. That idea spoke to Richard Prigg, who has developed a body of work that celebrates lead and solder as much as it does breathtakingly beautiful glass. Though historically stained glass windows conveyed the teachings of the church, Prigg's work intentionally tells no stories, but rather impacts the viewer by combining more expressive lead work with various light-modulating elements of and beyond the window itself. States Prigg: “I have an aversion to storytelling. I feel that it can often move the viewer away from the work so that instead of observing and considering what is in front of them, they fly off to the never-never land where the story takes them. Of course, I recognize that storytelling is an integral part of being human. We tell stories to one another to help define our identities. The stories in our culture give us a we that can guide our ways of living. But there is a dark side of storytelling, and it is intrinsic to the spoken word. It is our human tendency to use story to deceive. So, I am distrustful of art with a story, because a story can be a lie. I am distrustful of religion with a story, too. Religion and art – they are such good friends.” A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Prigg started his career at Beyer Stained Glass, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He later joined Willet Hauser Architectural Glass, the largest stained glass studio in the US, where he served as General Manager from 1999 to 2011. There, he oversaw challenging projects such as restoration of the Alcuin and Charlemagne and The Death of Sir Philip Sidney windows, which included re-creating missing plates for areas of the windows where the glass had chemically decomposed. He also oversaw the creation of $3.5 million of gothic stained glass fabricated by Willet Hauser for St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston. It was huge job that took 2.5 years to finish. Says Prigg: “I worked closely with Crosby Willet, who was incredibly generous to me and taught me a lot about stained glass. He introduced me to everyone in the business more or less. That included Charlie Lawrence who became a mentor and friend as well.” In December of 1999, Prigg left Willet Hauser and opened Sycamore Studios with his wife Ellen Lustgarten, where in addition to repair, restoration and new work, he developed a unique body of personal work featuring mouthblown antique sheet glass in conjunction with calligraphic lead lines built up with lead came. These works include Spin for a Western Light and Two Circles and a Dot. Later, he began to explore concrete as a matrix, resulting in works such as Blue Moon, Tossed and his recent Tower series. Prigg also uses his Lansdowne studio to showcase the work of young artists who often can't get into galleries.  Prigg is a member of the Stained Glass Association of America and has served on the board of directors of the American Glass Guild (AGG). He is the recipient of two AGG AGNX Awards for Excellence in the Art of Stained Glass. In 2025, he presented From Artist To Artisan To Artist: How I Painted Myself Into a Corner and Escaped through a Stained Glass Window at the AGG conference. Recent exhibitions of his work include: 2025 at the AGG AGNX Show, Mesa Contemporary Art Museum, Mesa, Arizona; 2025, Juried Show: Vibrance at the Aston Mills Art Center, Aston PA; and the 2023 Juried Show: 100 Skulls, Aston Mills Arts Center. His work can be found in private collections in Philadelphia as well as at the Center for Emerging Visual Artists. Says Prigg, about goals for his personal work: “When I began working with glass, I was so in love with these materials – lead and glass – that I just wanted to find ways to show people what delighted me. I wanted people to be presented with these materials in a way so that they would be engaged in the textures, the colors, the voices of the materials.”  

With Sonnet 139, William Shakespeare finds himself quite comfortably in the domain of the classical Petrarchan sonnet, invoking the themes and poetic tropes that other sonneteers of the period, most notably Sir Philip Sidney in his Astrophel and Stella use to speak about their mistress's capacity to captivate and, if they so wish, kill them with their looks.The initial plea with the mistress is simple and straightforward: I know you have other men, so when you are with me, just tell me to my face that this is the case, rather than flirting with them with furtive glances. Having devoted the octave – the eight lines of the first two quatrains – of his sonnet to this principal argument, he then uses the sestet – the six lines of the final quatrain and the closing couplet – to propose a somewhat sophistic excuse for his mistress's behaviour, allowing for the fanciful idea that she divert her devastating looks to other men so as to spare him additional suffering, which, he finally resolves she shouldn't do, since he'd rather 'die' – at least metaphorically – than be left in limbo...

In Shakespeare's Sisters: Four Women Who Wrote the Renaissance (Knopf, 2024) by Dr. Ramie Targoff, discover the lives and work of four ambitious Renaissance women who, against all odds, made themselves heard-and read-in the time of Shakespeare In an innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare's England, Dr. Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of four women writers working at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land in one of England's most infamous inheritance battles. These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had been shut for centuries. Dr. Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women; in the process, she helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer understanding of history and offering a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare's day. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Shakespeare's Sisters: Four Women Who Wrote the Renaissance (Knopf, 2024) by Dr. Ramie Targoff, discover the lives and work of four ambitious Renaissance women who, against all odds, made themselves heard-and read-in the time of Shakespeare In an innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare's England, Dr. Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of four women writers working at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land in one of England's most infamous inheritance battles. These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had been shut for centuries. Dr. Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women; in the process, she helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer understanding of history and offering a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare's day.

Astrophil and Stella by Sir Philip Sidney audiobook. Astrophil and Stella is a sonnet sequence written by Philip Sidney, an Elizabethan poet and courtier. It details the frustrated love of Astrophil (whose name means 'star-lover') for his beloved Stella (whose name means 'star'). It is likely that Sidney based his poems on his own unrequited passion for a married woman. The sequence inspired other sonnet writers of the period, such as Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, and Lady Mary Wroth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This lecture was given at Hillsdale College on April 22, 2023 as part of the Thomistic Institute conference "Christology in Literature." For more information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Michael Mack is an Associate Professor of English at the Catholic University of America. He specializes in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, and his research interests include Shakespeare, sixteenth and seventeenth-century English poetry, and Renaissance poetic theory. Dr. Mack has published a study of Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry and he is currently working on a book provisionally and pretentiously entitled Shakespeare and the Human Condition. He regularly teaches Shakespeare at the undergraduate and graduate levels and the Renaissance humanities course in the University Honors Program. Dr. Mack has served as Director of the University Honors Program, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies. Michael Mack received his A.B. from Harvard University, where his concentration was Economics, and his Ph.D. in English from Columbia University. He has been at CUA since 1997.

Though he spent only a brief period as a courtier of Elizabeth I, Sir Philip certainly cut a dashing figure.  He also dashed off one of the most influential works of literary theory in English.  And he was quite the dab hand at versifying.  Today, we look at Sidney's Defence of Poesie, "Ye Goatherd Gods" from Arcadia, and sonnets from Astrophil and Stella.Support the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen.

Du hast es bestimmt schon gehört - Intermettierendesfasten oder auch Kurzzeitfasten.  Das intermittierende Fasten beschreibt nicht etwa eine spezielle Form des typischen Fastens. Das intermittierende Fasten (auch Intervallfasten genannt) bezeichnet hingegen einen bestimmten Essrhythmus. Man isst dabei also – im Vergleich zum echten Fasten – sehr wohl, nur eben zu bestimmten Zeiten und vor allem nur in bestimmten Zeitabständen. Man wechselt dabei zwischen Zeiten der normalen Nahrungsaufnahme und der Nahrungskarenz. Die Risiken für altersbedingte Krankheiten werden dadurch reduziert, das Abnehmen gelingt leichter und man lebt länger. Intermittierendes Fasten: Der Ernährungsrhythmus unserer Urahnen Für uns moderne Menschen ist es normal, ein kontinuierliches Nahrungsangebot zur Verfügung zu haben. Schliesslich gibt es im Supermarkt zu jeder Zeit alles, was unser Herz begehrt - und das auch noch im Überfluss. Für unsere Vorfahren, die als Jäger und Sammler lebten, war dies natürlich nicht der Fall. Bevor der Mensch sesshaft wurde und lernte, Ackerbau und Viehzucht zu betreiben, gab es immer wieder Tage, an denen keine feste Nahrung zur Verfügung stand. Das klingt in unseren heutigen verwöhnten Ohren ziemlich dramatisch. Doch schadeten diese unfreiwilligen Fastentage keineswegs. Im Gegenteil. Sie entlasteten den Organismus und machten ihn widerstandsfähiger. Fastentage entlasten und verbessern die Gesundheit Obwohl Überernährung bekanntermassen kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen fördert und mit einer erhöhten Krankheits- und Sterberate in Verbindung gebracht wird, fällt es vielen Menschen schwer, ihre Nahrungsaufnahme zu kontrollieren oder auch nur zu reduzieren.

Ich bin heute mal wieder Single Folk unterwegs und wollt euch mal wieder von meinem Wochenende bzw. von meiner letzten Woche berichten, was ich denn da tolles gemacht habe. Ihr wisst ja sicher, dass ich ja auch als Bio Hacker unterwegs bin. Biomarker im Grunde nichts anderes als jemand, der sich um seinen Körper kümmert. Also eine Körper Optimierung Tag für Tag vornimmt, jeden Tag ein Stück besser werden zu wollen. Wir hatten damals in der Automobilindustrie ein ganz einfaches System dazu. Das hat sich das Kaizen System genannt. Das hatten wir auch dort eingeführt. Mal das besagt, dass man jeden Tag ein Prozent oder jeden Tag ein Stück besser werden soll muss darf. Also dort war es dann schon ein Muss. Man will ja den Prozess nach vorne treiben und möchte natürlich gegenüber der Konkurrenz. Also auch da draußen gibt's ja für dich Konkurrenz in deinem Feld. Überall lauert quasi die Konkurrenz. Wenn man so möchte. Und da macht es natürlich Sinn, wenn man sich optimiert, besser wird, jeden Tag etwas für sich tut, um so nach vorne zu kommen. Da hab ich mir jetzt für die letzte Woche mal wieder eine kleine Challenge rausgesucht. An Anti Challenge war eben 72 Stunden zu fasten, 72 Stunden, nichts zu essen, nur zu trinken und auch sämtliche Supplements, die sonst so den Tag über nehme, wurden auch nahezu gegen Null runter gefahren. Und dann habe ich begonnen. Ja, der Plan war eigentlich Donnerstag Abend um 18 Uhr zu beginnen, hab ich nur einen kleinen Fehler gemacht. Ich bin mit Julia unterwegs gewesen.   Speaker1: [00:02:01] Wir sind mittags los. Also um 14 Uhr sind wir los und ich dachte eigentlich, der Plan war, ich bekomme noch was zu essen vor 18 Uhr bzw. bis 18 Uhr. Der Plan ging nicht auf und danach wollte ich dann auch nicht mehr essen, denn ich wollte mir für Sonntag nicht den Tag quasi komplett blockieren bzw. auch nicht mehr zu spät essen. Also der Plan war wie gesagt Donnerstag abends starten 18 Uhr, 72 Stunden später, Sonntagabend 18 Uhr dann wieder essen zu dürfen. Da halt dann auch mit einem ausgiebigen Mahl das auch regelrecht zu zelebrieren. Also das Essen dann auch wieder für sich zu feiern, dem war da nicht so. Ich hatte dann um 11 Uhr wir frühstücken immer recht spät. Bei uns ist es eher ein Speth Stück als ein Frühstück und da gab es dann eben um 11 Uhr schon mal eine meine, meine letzte Mahlzeit. So hatte ich dann am Freitag um 11 schon 24 Stunden er erfüllt. Und der Plan hat auch vorgesehen für mich, dass ich am Freitag eben einen kleinen kleinen Ausflug unternehme. Das heißt, drei bis vier Stunden aktiv an die frische Luft gehen, um dort zu marschieren, um eben die Speicher zu leeren. Die Glukose speichert die Glucken, Speicher zu leeren in den in der Leber und den Muskeln, damit man auch dann für den Samstag noch den Effekt erhöht und am Samstag eben in die Ketose kommt. Freitag und Samstag gab's dann als Supplements exogene Tunc Körper, die diesen Prozess nochmal befeuern. Also gut, dann bin ich eben wie gesagt am Freitag bin ich dann losmarschiert, hab dann meine Tour gemacht.   Speaker1: [00:03:51] Also ich bin 21 Kilometer gelaufen, also quasi ein Halbmarathon in einer. Naja, die Zeit ist jetzt nicht unbedingt rekordverdächtig rekordverdächtig. Es war am Ende ja auch nur ein strammer Marsch. Also das sagt auch die Challenge. Die besagt auch, dass du eben auch gar nicht joggen sollst. Und es ist auch liest du auch überall in allen erfassten Ratgebern, dass du dein Körper in der Fastenzeit auch nicht beanspruchen sollst. Also darfst gerne Sport treiben, aber Motorrad? Also wie gesagt, gesagt, getan. Bin ich dann losgegangen, bin losmarschiert und hab dann eben eine ganz tolle Runde gefunden. Also das waren jetzt auch Ecken dabei. Hab ich selbst noch nie gesehen. Hier bei uns in der Nähe. Ich bin da eine Runde gelaufen von 21 km bei super schönen Sonnenschein. Und ganz wichtig ist auch, dass man während dessen auch trinkt, um da auch diesen Ausspielung Prozess einzuleiten und auch sich ein Stück weit vor Kopfschmerzen zu schützen. Denn die Auto Fergie also auch diese Zersetzung von. In den Zellen, die dann einsetzt, wenn man länger als eine Zeit von A man sagt, wobei man so 16 Stunden, wenn man aushält, länger als 16 Stunden nichts zu essen beginnt, eben Auto Fergie, wo sich dann die Schwachen von den starken Zellen verabschieden und dann ebenso ein Stück weit aufgeräumt wird, was eben auch den Benefit haben soll, dass man sich dadurch dann eben auch fitter und vitaler fühlt und eben auch als ja, man kann auch sagen, das ist ein Anti-Aging Prozesses, den man da auslöst für den Körper. Man tut ja auch eine gewisse Resilienz trainieren, den Körper auf etwas einstellen, was er so eigentlich ja schon kennt von früher.   Speaker1: [00:05:45] Also früher war es ja nichts anderes. Also vor 10 000, vor 20000, 30000 Jahren, als wir noch Jäger waren und nicht jeden Tag einfach so unser Essen bekamen oder bekommen konnten. Heute ist ja die größte Anstrengung, bevor man sein Essen bekommt, das Wechselgeld raus zu zählen. Ansonsten muss man ja eigentlich nichts mehr machen, die Scheibe runter fahren lassen und sich die Tüte rein reichen lassen und schon hat man seine Mahlzeit. Also ich bin auch ein bisschen unter dem Aspekt unterwegs zu sagen Hey, deine Mahlzeit musst du dir verdienen. Und ja, wir sind es gewohnt, aber wir haben es ein Stück weit verlernt, eben längere Zeit auf Nahrungsmittel zu verzichten. Da gibt's verschiedene Ansätze, die da ganz gut funktionieren. Ich habe jetzt eben für mich mal die 72 Stunden gewählt und auch da mit dem Sport Fenster, was dann auch am Freitag auch ganz gut funktioniert hatte. Nach dem Sport war ich dann auch erstmal ganz gut bedient. Der Samstag an sich hat sich dann tatsächlich schon etwas gezogen und ja, ich bin dann auch raus. Am Samstag hat er dann vom Freitag tatsächlich auch ganz guten Muskelkater. Dass ich da auch gar nichts mehr so viel machen wollte, nicht mehr so viel unterwegs war und mich das sehr geschont habe. Das einzige, was ich gemacht habe, war natürlich, wie ich nahezu jeden Tag in den See springen, bisschen schwimmen und in der Sonne ein Stück weit relaxen lesen. Also dann ging der Samstag auch vorüber, mit viel Wasser trinken und ja, was dann noch natürlich hilft und was auch dabei war bei mir ist Salzsäule.   Speaker1: [00:07:30] Das heißt, Sole ist normalerweise auch ein kleiner Hack, den ich frühmorgens schon trinke und dann halt da in der Zeit noch ein bisschen mehr, auch wenn im Sommer. Also das kann ich euch nur mitgeben oder Tieren mitgeben, dass du dir das vielleicht mal anschaust. Da hast du dir daheim tatsächlich eine Salzsäule vorbereitest, überhaupt an den warmen Tagen, dass du das auch auffüllen kannst. Also nicht Natrium und Chlorid, also diese Kochsalz Dinger, die du ihm im normalen Lebensmittelhandel findest oder halt eben in den normalen Lebensmitteln drin sind. Quatsch Lebensmittel ich schon wieder falsch in den Nahrungsmitteln drin sind. Also wenn du heute ein gebügelte Fleisch kaufst, ist dort halt Kochsalz drin und es ist halt nur Natrium und Chlorid. Diese Zusammensetzung und das ist für den Körper eigentlich eher nicht so gut geeignet schwemmt Wasser ein und ist halt eben auch das, was am Ende Bluthochdruck auslöst. Aber das gute Salz also jetzt Ursa als Steinsalz Himalaya Salz. Das hat dann 76 78 74 Nagel mich da jetzt nicht fest. Verschiedene Bestandteile, wie eben auch der, der, der der zellulären Ebene, also in den Zellen bei uns drin ist. Auch so ein kleiner Ozean quasi. Und er besteht aus diesen selben Bestandteilen. Und wenn wir jetzt heute bei der Hitze €000 zusammenklappt und dann kommt der Rettungssanitäter, dann frage ich dich Was ist denn das erste, was der Rettungssanitäter mit dir macht? Ja, er prüft einen Puls und dann schließt er dir eine Infusion an.. Richtig.   Speaker2: [00:09:18] Diese Folge wird präsentiert von Halper Fant Hyper von der Blockchain Community. Mehr dazu findest du in den Shownotes.   Speaker1: [00:09:30] Genau, und dieser Infusion ist dann auch nichts anderes drin, um dich wieder zurückzuholen. Dein Kreislauf zu stabilisieren und das kannst du eben vorbeugen, indem du selbst hier um dich sorgst und dir immer wieder mal über den Tag verteilt als kannst auch ins Essen mit reingeben diese Talsohle. Wie gesagt, ich trinks früh am Morgen schon die Talsohle um mein endokrinen Stoffwechsel System zu aktivieren. Genau. Und zum Fasten da gibt's einen schönen Spruch vom Sir Philip Sidney dann möchte ich dir hier gerne mit auf den Weg geben. Die Regeln der Kirche in Bezug auf das Fasten und Feiern werden recht gut eingehalten. Die Reichen halten das Feiern und die Armen das Fasten ein. Genau. Heutzutage ist es ja hier bei uns zulande eigentlich kein Problem mehr, an Nahrungsmittel zu kommen. Das hatten wir schon. Und auch da sind wir in diesem Land hier in Deutschland in einer ziemlich guten Situation, dass wir Nahrungsmittel ganz einfach bekommen. Also einfach günstig und ohne großen Aufwand. Jetzt aber nochmal zurück zu meinen zu meiner Fastenzeit. Also am Sonntag war es ja dann vorbei. Um 11 Uhr dann konnte ich da meinen Cheetah. Also ich habe jeden Tag auch einen bescheisst Tag in der Woche, den ich mir halte und im Normalfall lebe ich nach der Varia Diät. Also es ist ein Interpretieren des Fasten. So liebe ich unter der Woche. Ich habe dann eben am Samstag oder Sonntag, je nachdem, wie ich es vorausplanen kann für mich hab ich einen Tag, an dem ich mich quasi betrüge, als einen Cheat Day und so ein Cheetah ist auch gar keine schlechte Sache.   Speaker1: [00:11:27] Der eine verteufeln ist, der andere ist dafür dagegen. Ich persönlich hatte auch schon Phasen im Leben, da war ich eher gegen so einen Cheat Day. Aber mittlerweile sage ich ganz, ganz bewusst für so ein Zitat ein Haps und Cheetah für dich, denn das tut ihr gut. Und. Das hilft dir auch irgendwie durchzuhalten. Also wenn du jetzt die ganze Woche eben nach einem gewissen Muster lebst und du siehst außen herum im Büro oder auf der Baustelle oder im Freundeskreis Menschen, die einfach alles in sich hineinstopfen. Du denkst Wow, so ein Kinder. Bingo! Das war jetzt geil. Larssons Snickers oder so ein Bagger. Dann bist du natürlich erst mal außen vor, wenn du dich wirklich gesund ernähren möchtest. Und da ist halt so ein Tag goldwert, dass man sagt Hey, ich lebe sechs Tage in der Woche. Gesund, ziemlich gesund. Maxi also ziemlich am Maximum. Was so geht und versucht da auch für mich die Regeln einzuhalten und mich da eben auch voranzubringen. Gesundheitlich Fitness mäßig und auch auf einen gewissen Leistungsstand einfach zu halten. Und das wird sich auch über die Jahre hinweg auszahlen, da bin ich überzeugt bzw. das sehe ich auch selbst bei mir das eben vergleichsweise andere in meinem Alter. Diese. Die ihre Lebensgewohnheiten ein Stück weit anders gestellt haben oder ein aufgestellt haben, heute vielleicht nicht in diesen leistungsfähigen Zustand sind, wie ich es für mich jetzt so annehmen. Und da wirst du dann eben weniger Zeit im Wartezimmer bei Ärzten verbringen und mehr Zeit mit deinem Liebsten oder halt eben, was dir halt wichtig ist.   Speaker1: [00:13:21] Also ich denke aber auch da immer an die Work-Life-Balance. Und ja, dieser gesagt sagt den ruhig einmal eine Woche kann dir natürlich auch in einer fasten. In deiner Fastenzeit, also wenn du fasten möchtest, abnehmen möchtest, kann das sogar der entscheidende Hebel sein, damit es bei dir weitergeht mit dem Fasten. Denn auch da ist es so. Es gibt ja verschiedene Stoffwechsel Zyklen bei uns im Körper und wenn der Körper jetzt merkt hoppla, da kommt nix mehr. Ist eigentlich auf der Baustelle, wenn sie auf der Baustelle der Fliesenleger merkt Hey, die fließen langsam knapp und es kommt kein Neuer. Aber ich muss jetzt hier noch heute am Mittwoch durchhalten. Bis am Freitag. Und wenn ich jetzt hier die Fliesen schon verarbeitet habe vorher und keine neuen mehr kommen, dann muss ich auf eine andere Baustelle weiter weg. Da ist es nicht so schön. Das ist etwas zugig, das ist Calder und als der Polier ein Arschloch und tschuldigung für Jos Aussage haben, das muss ich dann weg piepsen. Aber nur so als als billiges Beispiel. Und dann macht der so lang rum und zöge das hinaus, dass er das schafft bis über die Woche hinweg, dass am Montag wieder die neuen Fliesen da sind. Und so ähnlich ist es bei deinem Körper auch. Also wenn dein Körper nichts bekommt. Dann wird auch nichts loslassen und wenn er dann mal geflutet wird, dann lässt er auch wieder los. Das ist ganz wichtig. Da gibt's dann eben auch gewisse Hormone im Körper. Grillini z.B., die dafür verantwortlich sind, dass Sättigung Hormone und die einfach bei dir Verschaltungen machen, aufrufen, auflockern.   Speaker1: [00:15:00] Das ist ja alles ein hoch komplexer Prozess. Und wie gesagt, wenn wir früher nichts zu essen hatten, hat der Körper erst mal angefangen das zu speichern und uns da über schlechte Nahrungs Perioden Touré Perioden hinwegzuhelfen. Genau so viel erst mal ein Wochenende. Also wie gesagt, macht es einfach mal selbst für dich Testes Maus. Fangen wir an zu fasten. Das tut mir wirklich gut. Also es ist wirklich ein Bio Hack. Also nix nix. Hochsee hoch wissenschaftlich ist doch hoch. Wissenschaftlich schon. Aber es ist nichts kompliziertes. Du kannst selbst für dich mal hergehen und kannst sagen nur wenn du gesund bist. Natürlich ist mehr als 6 mal auf. Heute fange ich an Donnerstagabend, 18 Uhr, letzte Mahlzeit und es dann wieder am Sonntagabend um 18 Uhr. Und da könnt ihr ruhig. Denn du hast ja in dieser Phase, in diesen 72 Stunden hast du so eine defizitäre Kalorie Bilanz. Das holst du jetzt am Sonntag nicht wieder ein und genießt auch deinen Blutzucker. Der Insulin, deine Insulin Sensibilität wird verbessert. Und du wirst auch in der Zeit einfach auch bessere Konzentrationsfähigkeit aufweisen. Am Samstag war es auch schon gut. Ja, natürlich tatsächlich. Und es verbessert sich aber auch noch nachhaltig danach. Also du entgiftet ja und baust Stoffe ab im Körper, die da nicht hingehören und so dein Körper hat wieder Zeit, sich um die Reinigung, um die um den Aufbau, um Arbeiten zu kümmern, die liegengeblieben sind. So wie du jetzt mal zu Hause bist, 4 Wochen an dir denkst Hey cool, jetzt kann ich mal den Dachboden wieder aufräumen und jetzt hab ich jetzt immer noch Zeit.   Speaker1: [00:16:48] 8 räume ich noch die Werkstatt auch mal auf. Und wenn jetzt noch mehr Zeit ist, dann traue mich immer noch die Garage auf und so ist es da auch so ähnlich. Also wenn du interpretierende fasten magst, also 16 8 z.B., dann ist es schon cool. Aber du kannst das nochmal ein Stückchen weiter heben, wenn du tatsächlich mal auf die 72 Stunden fährst. Genau das war's jetzt erst einmal davon. Wenn du mehr das Thema Fasten wissen möchtest oder wenn du dann eine genaue Anleitung haben möchtest, wie du es machen kannst, wie du diese 2046 gestalten möchtest, kannst du dich gerne bei mir melden, kannst du mich gerne anschreiben. Ansonsten wünsche dir viel Erfolg dabei. Ich werde es jetzt auf jeden Fall für mich so handhaben, dass ich alle 4 Wochen diese Phase einmal für mich einbau in meinen Alltag um einfach auch ganz kurz erwähnt. Es gibt da tolle Experimente, auch wissenschaftlich belegte Experimente mit mit Nagern und anderen Tiere, die tatsächlich durch den Entzug von Nahrung um ein Vielfaches älter wurden als vergleichsweise Kollegen von denen eben die durchgängig. Pro katholisch ernährt wurden. Genau. Und ich, wie gesagt. Einmal im Monat, weil ich das einbauen testest für dich aus. Sag mir Bescheid, wie es war. Würde mich freuen über Feedback.

In his book An Experiment in Criticism (1961), C. S. Lewis suggests that instead of judging a book by how it was written, we should judge it on the kind of reading it inspires. If readers are deepened, continually drawn back to the work, only to find they love it more and more, then it is a good book. If not, then it is merely a book fit for entertainment, not a true piece of art. On Lewis’ view, beauty is transcendent, but art is personal. What if this philosophy was extrapolated to encompass all art? And what is Lewis’ view on the importance of art? Is art something which helps develop us, or does it merely provide a kind of escape from reality?Episode NotesThe featured oil on canvas is called Girl With the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675). It was painted in 1665.The featured piece is Claire De Lune by Claude Debussy (1862-1918), a French neo-classical romantic composer.

A painter, a philosopher and a poet walk into a bar. The painter already knows what the poet has to say. The poet says it eloquently. Then the philosopher listens, sits down, orders a drink, and spends ten hours figuring out what they meant. This is “the Great Conversation” that Western Civilization has given us and continues to give, as thinkers and visionaries offer their ideas and propel culture forward. These thoughts are often expressed in towering works of fiction, which unveil the eyes of the individual to the world. But conversation can’t even begin without non-fiction, and the rivalry between philosophers and writers continues. Lucky for us, we get to benefit from both sides, and the dialogue is riveting.6 Reasons You Should Be A Student of Philosophy: https://wellreadchristian.com/6-reasons-you-should-be-a-student-of-philosophy/Why Read Classic Literature? https://wellreadchristian.com/why-read-classic-literature/LinksVisit our website: https://www.wellreadchristian.comCheck our our blog: https://www.wellreadchristian.com/blogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellreadchristianTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/WellReadChrist1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGxz4OH1-hVD0fL9AWR4Xg

Discussing: T is for Tarlton - Early Modern Celebrity with Sophie Shorland. This episode is a discussion with Sophie Shorland about Early Modern Celebrity - specifically looking at Sir Philip Sidney, Moll Cutpurse and - mostly - Richard Tarlton. We look at stories of his life, the myths and half truths, and are introduced to his animal avatar. With recordings of our workshops on Tarlton's Jests - with Leigh MacDonald, Mark Scanlon and Hugh Weller-Poley. We spend much time going over the story of Bankes his horse - of which there is much more to be said in the future. Sophie is an Early Career Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick. She is currently working on celebrity culture in the late Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, exploring what celebrity looked like before the newspaper. She has published in Renaissance Studies, Early Modern Literary Studies, and is currently editing a special issue of the journal Exchanges on metaphorical and literal cannibalisms. Her other research interests include the performance of premodern power, domestic tragedy, and early modern women’s writing. If you'd like to have a look at Tarlton's Jests, there is an incomplete edition here - we're hunting for more. https://archive.org/details/tarltonsjestsan00chetgoog/page/n6 NB: Be warned there is some discussion of cock fighting and bear baiting towards the end of the episode.
