As the year comes to a close, this solo episode is a gentle pause — a moment to reflect, recalibrate, and intentionally step into the season ahead.This year has held immense polarity: expansion and contraction, joy and grief, certainty and surrender. In this episode, Tess reflects on the lessons, growth, and quiet moments that shaped the past year, while offering a grounded and soulful approach to welcoming the new one.Rather than leaning into the typical “new year, new you” narrative, this conversation is about alignment over pressure — closing chapters with intention, reconnecting to your inner compass, and creating space for what's next.Tess shares her personal practices for:Reflecting on the year that's passed through journalling and compassionate self-inquiryThe importance of symbolic closure and why it matters for emotional and energetic clarityHow she sets goals rooted in identity, values, and how she wants to feel — not just what she wants to achieveHer manifestation process, combining meditation with intuitive journallingHow vision boards can act as visual anchors for the life you're consciously buildingThis episode is an invitation to slow down, release what no longer belongs in the next chapter, and step into the new year feeling grounded, clear, and aligned — without hustle, urgency, or reinvention.If you're craving a more meaningful way to welcome the year ahead, this episode is for you.Follow me on Instagram: @tess.shanahan & @tesstalksofficial Follow me on TikTok: @tessshanahanFollow me on YouTube: TessShanahan Hosted on Acast.

In this Game Changers episode, I address a pattern I've been seeing everywhere: therapists becoming overly focused on identifying, interpreting, and assigning meaning to themes and symbolic play. I explain why this pulls us out of attunement, distracts us from the child, and risks turning CCPT into an interpretive exercise rather than a relational, child-centered process. Themes can absolutely be useful—but only in the context of parent consultations. In the playroom, our job is presence, attunement, and skill execution, not analysis. I also offer a strong caution against "making leaps" or weaving narratives out of play behaviors. Children are experiential and emotional, not symbolic theorists sending coded messages. They work through what they need to work through whether we understand it or not. When our skills become automatic and our presence is grounded, we naturally begin to recognize patterns—but that awareness should never come at the cost of focusing on the child. The play is just the play; our priority is always the child, the relationship, and the process that leads to healing.

PREVIEW — Professor Claire Jackson — James I and the "Mirror of Great Britain" Symbolic Jewel. Professor Jackson discusses her historical biography of King James I and the "Mirror of Great Britain," a symbolic composite jewel representing the political and cultural union of Scotland and England under unified monarchical authority. Jacksondetails that this distinctive gem contains precious stones from both Scottish and English royal collections, physically embodying the sovereignty integration and dynastic consolidation achieved through the Stuarts. Jackson documents that this symbolic jewel was subsequently sold and systematically dismantled by James I's son Charles during the English Civil Wars, representing the fragmentation of the Stuart vision for consolidated British monarchy and the political dissolution catalyzed by civil conflict and parliamentary assertion against royal prerogative.

Ryan welcomes researcher and author Miguel Conner for a deep dive into the roots of Gnosticism, not as a Christian offshoot, but as a pre-Christian current shaped by Egyptian mystery traditions. Together they explore concepts like the god above God, the enigmatic figure Abraxas, the role of the divine feminine, and the path of salvation through Gnosis. They also unpack the symbolic power of the serpent and examine the archon control system still reflected in modern life.Learn more about Miguel here: https://www.miguelconner.com/

They also dig into the Tennessee special election that unexpectedly turned a deep-red district purple, the Supreme Court opening the door for Trump to purge independent agencies, and Pete Hegseth bragging about blowing people up like a Cannon movie villain. Along the way: clickbait-rage farms, fake Trump "peace prizes," and whether America has officially monetized every last emotion we have left. Trump's latest racist rhetoric toward Somali immigrants Explicit statements about not wanting Somalis in America, and how Trump uses racism to distract from elite corruption and pardons.  • JD Vance's comments about not wanting neighbors who "don't speak the same language" Just more coded racism. Is this even coded? • Fox-driven "Somali fraud" narratives in Minnesota How Tim Walz gets dragged into right-wing misinformation loops and why these stories spread. • Farmers hit again by Trump's trade chaos $12 billion in bailouts framed as "bridge money," with U.S. soybean markets permanently shifting to Argentina, Canada, and China. • Tennessee special election shifts purple Aftyn Behn narrows margins dramatically; GOP forced to pour money into a "safe" seat as Trump drags the party in expensive directions. • Trump receives a made-up 'peace prize' from shady soccer officials A look at his obsession with awards and manufactured victories. • Supreme Court poised to let Trump fire independent agency heads Symbolic culture-war gestures often accompany structural power grabs. • Pete Hegseth brags on-air about "blowing up boats" He thinks he's a war-hero movie but he's the obnoxious side-character who gets everyone killed.

“Who Thought the Eucharist Was Just Symbolic? ” This episode delves into the early Church’s beliefs about the Eucharist, exploring questions like the origins of the symbolic view and whether early Church Fathers spoke symbolically. We also tackle the significance of “breaking bread” in the early Church and the implications of transubstantiation. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:30 – Where did the symbolic view of the Eucharist come from? 05:13 – Didn't some early Church Fathers speak symbolically about the Eucharist? Doesn't that challenge the idea of unanimous early belief? 07:30 – Didn't the disciples fail to object during the Last Supper because they understood Jesus metaphorically? 09:00 – If “breaking bread” was common in the early Church, doesn't that just suggest a fellowship meal, not a literal body and blood? 15:25 – The Eucharist doesn’t seem to do anything to believers? 20:30 – How Do I Properly Receive the Eucharist? 21:50 – How does transubstantiation actually work—and why does it rely on medieval Aristotelian philosophy rather than Scripture? 29:05 – How do we know that the early Church actually believed in transubstantiation and not just a spiritual or symbolic presence? Why does the Catholic View win out? 35:22 – The priesthood is against going directly to God. We don't need Earthly priests. 42:20 – Does the Eucharist cause more division than Unity? 48:08 – Is the Eucharist just an adaptation of pagan rituals?

“Is the Eucharist a Literal Sacrifice or a Symbolic Act?” This episode delves into the nature of the Eucharist, addressing questions like whether Jesus spoke symbolically when He said, “This is my body,” and how His command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' aligns with Jewish law. We also explore the implications of Jesus' words, “Do this in remembrance of me,” and the teachings of the Book of Hebrews. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:36 – Wasn't Jesus speaking symbolically when He said, “This is my body”? 15:15 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' violate Jewish law against consuming blood? 37:25 – Didn't Jesus say, “Do this in remembrance of me”? Doesn't that clearly indicate the Eucharist is a memorial, not a literal sacrifice? 40:20 – Doesn't the Book of Hebrews teach that Christ's sacrifice was ‘once for all'? How can the Catholic Mass be a true sacrifice without re-sacrificing Christ? 49:00 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh' be cannibalism

Genetics is rewriting the human story. This week, On Humans takes you behind the scenes of this rapidly evolving frontier via three live-recordings, captured at the Salk Institute's CARTA symposium on ancient DNA. The first episode explores the differences between us and the Neanderthals.For centuries, we tried to understand Neanderthals through stones and bones alone. Now genetics is offering a new tool, allowing researchers to see how ancient bodies and brains developed. In this opening episode, David Gokhman explains what these new tools are revealing about us, Neanderthals, and the lines between us.UP NEXT "Beyond Race: New Surprises About the Shape of Humanity" ~ Monday Dec 1st with Diyendo Massilani"Restless Humanity: The Epic Migrations Into America, Polynesia, and...

It's time! The 5x5 Money Manifesting Challenge starts NOW!  Watch this video to find out about Step 1 of the money manifesting process and your actions for today.  Today's step is Symbolic Decluttering! Decluttering might sound simple, but it's one of the most powerful ways to shift your energy and make room for more money.  Even if you've done it before, clutter always creeps back in and it can quietly block your flow. I like to think of abundance like a river. When it's clear, money and opportunities flow easily. When it's full of old junk like outdated beliefs, half-finished projects, or messy paperwork, everything slows down. So today, your task is to declutter symbolically for abundance. It could be cleaning out your wallet, tidying your workspace, canceling unused subscriptions, or letting go of something that feels like old energy. These actions might seem small, but they're incredibly powerful. They show the Universe you're ready for something new to flow in. Register for the Challenge at https://www.denisedt.com/challenge

What happens when the revolutionary fervor of Marxism meets the probing depths of the psychoanalytic couch? In this intellectually stimulating conversation, Andrew Flores (host of The Parallax Viewer) explores the fascinating and often contentious relationship between psychoanalytic theory and left politics.The discussion begins with a fundamental question: why should Marxists care about psychoanalysis at all? Flores argues that psychoanalysis doesn't just treat individual symptoms but addresses the "bourgeois subject"—the psychological effects of living within capitalist social relations. As he eloquently explains, "What psychoanalysis does is deal with a bourgeois subject, the effects of bourgeois consciousness... Marx invented the symptom, not Freud." This provocative claim opens a pathway to understanding how our internal psychological conflicts might reflect broader social contradictions.Delving into Lacanian theory, Flores unpacks the three registers—Imaginary, Symbolic, and Real—that structure our experience, showing how they relate to political formation and revolutionary potential. The conversation weaves through structuralism, Althusserian Marxism, and contemporary thinkers like Alain Badiou and Domenico Losurdo, revealing the complex theoretical lineages that continue to shape leftist thought.Perhaps most relevant to our current moment is the discussion of social fragmentation, paranoia, and what might be called our collective psychosis. As conspiracy theories proliferate and ideological certainties dissolve, psychoanalytic concepts offer valuable tools for understanding how individual and collective delusions form in response to social trauma.Whether you're a seasoned theoretical traveler or new to these intellectual territories, this conversation offers fresh insights into how we might understand the relationship between our inner lives and the social structures that shape them—and perhaps how we might transform both.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." Revelation 1:12-20

LW1476 - Minor White and the Symbolic Image Minor White (one of my all-time favorite photographers) advised us not to photography only what it is, but to photograph what else it is. A catchy quote, but what does this actually mean? One answer is to think of photography as a medium to express metaphors and symbols. This prompts three levels of thinking: photography of something, photography about something, and photography that points to something.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I explain one of the most important parts of understanding what happens in the playroom — symbolic and thematic play. This episode helps parents make sense of how their child's play reflects their experiences, emotions, and healing process. I describe how children often “rewrite” their stories through play, working through fear, confusion, or past experiences in ways that help them feel more in control and confident. Understanding symbolic and thematic play is key for parents, because it reveals how meaningful play really is — and why it leads to lasting change in child-centered play therapy.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we continue our discussion on gamifying savings by shifting from the “why” to the “how.” Last time, we explored the psychology behind gamification. Today, we walk through the specific steps to design a savings game that's personal, sustainable, and motivating.We begin by stressing the importance of having a vivid goal. It's not enough to have a vague intention—our goals need to be visualized, named, printed, and emotionally connected to. Once the goal is in place, we choose a structure that fits our personal motivation style. For some, it's a streak counter; for others, it's hitting milestones, unlocking levels, or incorporating random rewards. The key is to tailor the game mechanics to what actually drives us.Next, we build structure around the game by defining clear rules—written rules—to eliminate ambiguity and reduce the temptation to bend the system. Amy emphasizes the importance of including predefined exceptions so we can respond to life's inevitable hiccups without feeling like we've failed. Automation plays a huge role in eliminating friction; it ensures that we follow through without having to rely on willpower.We also talk about the power of accountability. Whether it's a partner or a regular financial check-in, accountability helps us track wins, adjust strategies, and stay committed. And because humans respond to incentives, it's critical to build a reward ladder. These rewards should be meaningful but proportionate—ideally no more than 10% of what we're trying to save. We also look at the value of experience-based rewards, which generate longer-lasting satisfaction than material purchases.To ground the theory, Amy shares a story about “Alex,” who gamified her weekday lunch spending. By creating a simple challenge, defining her rules, and building in smart rewards and penalties—including donating to a “liked but not loved” charity—Alex turned a small change into a sustainable habit.When setbacks happen, we encourage listeners not to see them as failures. Reset the streak, learn from the moment, and evaluate whether the original goal was realistic. Symbolic penalties and honest reflection can help restore momentum.We wrap up with a lightning round, debunking the idea that gamification is childish or time-consuming. It's backed by behavioral science and can be managed with minimal effort through automation. Finally, we suggest starting small, being flexible, and aiming for traction—not perfection.

Sermon Summary — Zechariah: Session 3 Text: Zechariah 3–4 Theme: “Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit” Speaker: Pastor Matthew Robbins (LWWC) 1. Opening and Ministry Update Pastor opened with thanksgiving: in just six days, 32 new nations began listening to the church's broadcast — evidence that God's Word is reaching the world. Prayer emphasized the importance of being “found in the Word, following the Word, and structuring our lives around the Word.” Transitioned into Zechariah 3, explaining the historical background: The people of Israel had returned from Babylonian exile. The prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Nehemiah encouraged them to rebuild the temple and walls of Jerusalem. 2. The Ark and God's Faithfulness Pastor recalled the history of the Ark of the Covenant, which never changed — from Moses to David to Solomon — symbolizing God's unchanging nature. He shared conviction from the Holy Spirit: the original Ark still exists and will one day reappear when Israel rebuilds the temple. Israel has reportedly reconstructed priestly garments and temple furnishings, preparing for restoration. Key lesson: God never changes; His covenant stands forever. When the Ark reappears, it will be a global sign of God's faithfulness and sovereignty. 3. Joshua the High Priest and Filthy Garments (Zechariah 3) Vision: Joshua the high priest stands before the angel of the Lord while Satan accuses him. Joshua is clothed in filthy garments, symbolizing human sin and unworthiness — even a priest cannot stand clean before God on his own. God rebukes Satan and commands that Joshua's filthy garments be removed and replaced with rich robes and a clean turban marked “Holiness to the Lord.” Meaning: God removes iniquity and clothes His people with righteousness. Salvation is not self-earned — “We can't clean ourselves; the Lord must do it.” Application: Many people say, “I'll fix myself before I come to God.” Pastor rebuked this thinking: “You don't clean up to come to Jesus — you come to Jesus to be cleaned up.” 4. The Branch — Jesus Revealed The angel declares: “I am bringing forth My servant, the Branch.” This is a prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who removes iniquity “in one day.” That “one day” refers both to: Israel's restoration (1948 — national prophecy fulfilled in a day). Christ's crucifixion, where sin was forgiven once for all. Through Christ, believers are clothed in righteousness — the Old Testament points directly to Jesus. 5. The Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees (Zechariah 4) Zechariah sees a golden lampstand (menorah) with seven lamps and two olive trees beside it. The angel explains: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” Zerubbabel, a descendant of David, was leading the rebuilding of the temple. Meaning: Human effort cannot accomplish God's work — it is only through the Holy Spirit. “Some trust in chariots and horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord.” 6. Watchman Nee and the Broken Vessel Pastor shared insights from Watchman Nee's “The Release of the Spirit.” The alabaster box story illustrates that the value is not the vessel, but what's inside. The Holy Spirit must be released through a broken life. Our cleverness or intellect can block the Spirit's flow — we must depend fully on God's Word and Spirit. True ministry touches the spirit, not merely the emotions or intellect. Key quote: “If I only tell stories but don't use the Word of God, I'm touching your soul, not your spirit.” 7. The Capstone and the Mountain God tells Zerubbabel: “Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain.” Symbolic of God leveling obstacles through grace and power. “He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace!'” The capstone (or chief cornerstone) represents Christ, the head and completion of all things. Pastor drew connections to Egypt's pyramids and ancient symbolism, explaining how the “capstone” points to unity under Christ — “the head of the body.” 8. The Two Olive Trees — Moses and Elijah The two olive trees represent the two anointed ones who “stand beside the Lord.” Pastor identified them as Moses and Elijah — symbols of the Law and the Prophets. These two appear repeatedly: On the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17). As the two witnesses in Revelation 11, prophesying during the tribulation. Moses' body was divinely preserved; Elijah was taken up without dying — both return to testify of Christ's glory. Their ministries align perfectly with Revelation's description: Elijah shuts up the heavens (no rain). Moses turns water to blood and releases plagues. 9. The Word Deposited in Us Pastor closed with a powerful exhortation: Reading and hearing Scripture is like making spiritual deposits. The Holy Spirit later draws from what you've stored. “The Holy Spirit goes to your bank account — make sure there's something in it.” God's Word feeds the spirit, not just the mind. “You don't have to retain everything — just keep putting it in. The Holy Spirit will bring it out when it's needed.” 10. Final Exhortation God's Word must govern us — not the other way around. Pastor concluded with this charge: “Don't come to the Bible trying to make it fit you. Come to it and fit yourself to it.” Closing prayer asked that the Word of God come alive, ignite prayer, and make believers a light in their generation. Key Themes God's unchanging faithfulness (the Ark). Cleansing through Christ alone. Ministry through the Spirit, not human might. The prophetic unity of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled in Jesus. Living by the Word — daily deposits of truth.

“Who Thought the Eucharist Was Just Symbolic? ” This episode delves into the early Church’s beliefs about the Eucharist, exploring questions like the origins of the symbolic view and whether early Church Fathers spoke symbolically. We also tackle the significance of “breaking bread” in the early Church and the implications of transubstantiation. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:30 – Where did the symbolic view of the Eucharist come from? 05:13 – Didn't some early Church Fathers speak symbolically about the Eucharist? Doesn't that challenge the idea of unanimous early belief? 07:30 – Didn't the disciples fail to object during the Last Supper because they understood Jesus metaphorically? 09:00 – If “breaking bread” was common in the early Church, doesn't that just suggest a fellowship meal, not a literal body and blood? 15:25 – The Eucharist doesn’t seem to do anything to believers? 20:30 – How Do I Properly Receive the Eucharist? 21:50 – How does transubstantiation actually work—and why does it rely on medieval Aristotelian philosophy rather than Scripture? 29:05 – How do we know that the early Church actually believed in transubstantiation and not just a spiritual or symbolic presence? Why does the Catholic View win out? 35:22 – The priesthood is against going directly to God. We don't need Earthly priests. 42:20 – Does the Eucharist cause more division than Unity? 48:08 – Is the Eucharist just an adaptation of pagan rituals?
