Choses à Savoir
D'où viennent exactement les noms de famille ?

Les noms de famille n'ont pas toujours existé. Pendant des siècles, dans la plupart des sociétés, on se contentait d'un seul prénom. Mais quand les populations ont commencé à croître, il est devenu difficile de distinguer tous les “Jean” ou “Pierre” d'un même village. C'est alors qu'ont commencé à apparaître, dès le Moyen Âge, les noms de famille, d'abord en Europe, pour préciser l'identité d'une personne. Et la plupart de ces noms viennent de quatre grandes origines : le métier, le lieu, la filiation et une caractéristique physique ou morale.1. Les noms issus du métierC'est l'une des sources les plus courantes. On désignait les gens par ce qu'ils faisaient : Jean le Boulanger, Pierre le Charpentier, Jacques le Berger. Avec le temps, ces surnoms sont devenus des noms de famille transmis à leurs enfants. En France, on retrouve par exemple Boulanger, Marchand, Charpentier, ou Berger. En anglais, cela a donné Smith (forgeron), Baker (boulanger) ou Taylor (tailleur).2. Les noms liés à un lieuD'autres personnes étaient identifiées par leur origine géographique. On disait Marie de Lyon ou Guillaume du Bois. Ces mentions sont devenues des noms de famille : Delacroix, Dupont, Dubois, Deschamps. En Italie, on trouve Da Vinci (“de Vinci”, le village natal de Léonard). Ces noms reflètent souvent l'endroit où vivait l'ancêtre — un pont, un champ, une rivière — et servent encore aujourd'hui de témoins de l'histoire locale.3. Les noms patronymiquesCertains noms viennent directement du prénom du père. En France, cela a donné Martin, Henry, ou Laurent. Mais dans d'autres langues, on l'exprime plus clairement : en anglais, Johnson signifie “fils de John”, Anderson “fils d'Andrew”. En Russie, Ivanov veut dire “fils d'Ivan”, et en Islande, ce système est encore vivant : le fils d'un homme nommé Olaf s'appellera Olafsson, et sa fille Olafsdóttir.4. Les noms descriptifs ou surnomsEnfin, beaucoup de noms de famille venaient d'un trait physique ou de caractère. Petit, Legrand, Lenoir, Leblanc, Fort, ou Lemoine décrivaient une particularité, parfois flatteuse, parfois moqueuse. En Allemagne, Klein signifie “petit”, et en Espagne, Delgado veut dire “mince”.Peu à peu, ces surnoms se sont transmis d'une génération à l'autre, devenant héréditaires à partir du XIVᵉ siècle environ. Ainsi, les noms de famille sont de véritables fossiles linguistiques : ils racontent l'origine, le métier ou le caractère de nos ancêtres, et forment une mémoire vivante de notre histoire collective.

Choses à Savoir
Les gauchers sont-ils vraiment plus créatifs ?

Choses à Savoir

L'idée que les gauchers seraient plus créatifs que les droitiers est ancienne, séduisante… mais scientifiquement controversée. Elle repose sur une intuition simpliste : si le cerveau gauche contrôle la main droite et le cerveau droit contrôle la main gauche — et que le cerveau droit serait “le siège de la créativité” — alors les gauchers, plus “droit cérébral”, devraient être plus imaginatifs. Mais la réalité, révélée par plusieurs études, est bien plus nuancée.Une étude publiée en 2009 par Shobe et al. dans la revue Brain and Cognition a testé cette hypothèse sur des étudiants américains. Les chercheurs ont mesuré leur “pensée divergente” — la capacité à produire des idées originales — et ont comparé droitiers, gauchers et “inconsistants” (ceux qui utilisent les deux mains selon la tâche). Résultat : les gauchers n'étaient pas systématiquement plus créatifs. En revanche, les personnes au faible degré de latéralisation (ni totalement droitières, ni totalement gauchères) obtenaient de meilleurs scores de créativité. Leur cerveau semblait mieux équilibré entre les deux hémisphères, favorisant des connexions inhabituelles entre des idées éloignées.Cette découverte a inspiré une hypothèse neurolinguistique : la communication interhémisphérique — facilitée par un corps calleux plus actif — pourrait être un atout pour la pensée créative. Autrement dit, ce n'est pas la main utilisée qui compte, mais la souplesse du cerveau à mobiliser ses deux côtés.Des recherches plus récentes, notamment une méta-analyse publiée en 2019, confirment ces nuances : il n'existe aucune corrélation stable entre la main dominante et les performances créatives. Les différences observées sont faibles, variables selon les tests, et largement influencées par d'autres facteurs : culture, environnement familial, éducation artistique, exposition à la nouveauté.Enfin, le cliché du “génie gaucher” vient aussi de l'histoire : Léonard de Vinci, Picasso, Mozart, ou Jimi Hendrix étaient gauchers, ce qui a renforcé l'idée d'un lien mystérieux entre gaucherie et talent. Mais statistiquement, la majorité des créateurs reconnus sont droitiers — simplement parce qu'ils sont plus nombreux.En somme, les gauchers ne sont pas plus créatifs par nature, mais leur cerveau légèrement différent peut favoriser une pensée moins conventionnelle chez certains individus. La créativité, elle, reste surtout une compétence entraînée, nourrie par la curiosité, l'ouverture et la diversité des expériences — bien plus que par la main que l'on utilise pour écrire.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (October 30, 2025) – Kentucky continues to face one of the highest rates of lung cancer in the nation, but new advances at UK HealthCare are helping doctors shorten the time from diagnosis to life-saving treatment. Through the use of cutting-edge robotic systems, UK surgeons can now perform same-day biopsy and surgery for certain early-stage lung cancers — turning what was once weeks of waiting and anxiety into a single, coordinated procedure. Dr. Shari Meyerson, professor of surgery and division chief of thoracic surgery, and Dr. Mansi Shah, assistant professor in the Division of Thoracic Surgery, are leading this effort at the University of Kentucky. Their team is also the first in Kentucky — and among the first in the region — to perform thoracic procedures using the new single-port da Vinci robotic system, which allows complex operations through one small incision, helping patients recover faster and with less pain.  On this episode of 'Behind the Blue,' Drs. Meyerson and Shah explain how robotic technology is transforming lung-cancer care in Kentucky. They discuss the impact of same-day diagnosis and treatment, the benefits of single-port surgery for quicker recovery and reduced narcotic use, and the importance of encouraging more Kentuckians to take part in routine lung-cancer screening.  "Behind the Blue" is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify.

High performers know pressure well—but peace is the real advantage. This episode reveals how to keep your excellence without exhaustion, and why performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.What happens when excellence becomes exhaustion? In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden edge of high performance—how to honor the drive that built your success while releasing the pressure that's been quietly costing your peace.High-capacity humans often carry an invisible burden: success that feels heavy. You've mastered focus, discipline, and devotion—but sustaining it has started to feel like survival. Julie unpacks why that happens through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that transforms performance from pressure into peace.Through story work and neuroscience, Julie explains how misalignment at the identity level keeps the nervous system locked in output mode, confusing productivity with safety. She draws from history and culture—Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, and Serena Williams—to show how mastery without margin eventually breaks down, and why true brilliance requires rhythm, not nonstop output.Listeners will learn that excellence isn't something to escape—it's something to steward. You don't need to dismantle your drive; you just need to direct it. Because performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.ILR isn't another mindset tactic or productivity hack—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where has my gift for excellence become a grip?” Pause and notice where your strength is trying to control instead of contribute.

Choses à Savoir HISTOIRE

Au début du XIᵉ siècle, bien avant Léonard de Vinci ou les frères Wright, un moine bénédictin anglais nommé Eilmer de Malmesbury rêva de s'élever dans les airs. Né autour de 980, Eilmer vivait dans l'abbaye de Malmesbury, dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, un haut lieu d'érudition où il étudiait les sciences, l'astronomie et les textes antiques. À une époque où l'on croyait encore que voler relevait du sacrilège ou de la magie, son ambition était audacieuse : imiter les oiseaux.Vers 1010, Eilmer décida de passer à l'acte. Inspiré, dit-on, par la lecture du mythe d'Icare et peut-être par des observations de cerfs-volants venus d'Orient, il conçut un système d'ailes articulées, fabriquées avec du bois, du tissu et des plumes. Il les fixa à ses bras et à ses pieds, convaincu qu'en comprenant le mouvement du vent, il pourrait planer comme un faucon. Selon le chroniqueur Guillaume de Malmesbury, qui rapporta son exploit un siècle plus tard, Eilmer monta au sommet d'une tour de l'abbaye — probablement haute d'une vingtaine de mètres — et se jeta dans le vide.Contre toute attente, il vola. Porté par le vent, son étrange machine glissa dans l'air sur environ 200 mètres avant de perdre de la portance et de s'écraser lourdement. Le moine survécut, mais ses deux jambes furent brisées. Il resta infirme pour le reste de ses jours, continuant à vivre dans l'abbaye, sans jamais retenter l'expérience. Il aurait cependant déclaré que son erreur avait été de ne pas ajouter une queue, pour stabiliser son vol, montrant qu'il avait compris avant l'heure une notion fondamentale de l'aérodynamique.L'histoire d'Eilmer de Malmesbury, souvent considérée comme la première tentative documentée de vol humain, mêle légende et vérité. Les chroniqueurs médiévaux, fascinés, le décrivirent comme un esprit visionnaire, témoin d'une époque où la science naissante côtoyait encore le merveilleux.Aujourd'hui, il est célébré comme un précurseur de l'aviation, un rêveur en robe de bure qui osa défier la pesanteur dix siècles avant les pionniers modernes. Son saut, à la fois naïf et génial, symbolise la soif immémoriale de l'humanité : celle de comprendre le ciel… et d'y trouver sa place. Hébergé par Acast.

As AI radically democratizes the world, we're all about to become James Bond — or so says longtime spook watcher (and player) Anthony Vinci. In his new book, The Fourth Intelligence Revolution,, Vinci argues that we must all become spies in order to save America. That's the future of espionage in an age when, at least according to Vinci, the Chinese might be hacking our data to subvert the United States. This “Vinci Code” borrows heavily from the Cold War playbook — paranoia layered upon paranoia layered upon more paranoia. I'm not buying it. But then again, I'm too busy with KEEN ON to be Bond.1. A Fourth Intelligence Revolution Is UnderwayAnthony Vinci argues that global espionage is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by artificial intelligence and the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China. Intelligence, he says, is no longer confined to spies and soldiers — it now extends into economics, technology, and even ordinary life.2. Economic Espionage Will Define the Next EraVinci believes America must adapt to a new kind of intelligence competition — one focused on markets, infrastructure, and intellectual property. To keep pace with China, the United States will need to develop capabilities in economic espionage, a domain it has long been reluctant to enter.3. Artificial Intelligence Will Spy on Artificial IntelligenceThe next phase of espionage, Vinci predicts, will be conducted largely by machines. AI will collect, analyze, and even counter other AI systems, creating a world where “our machines will spy on their machines.” The traditional spy-versus-spy rivalry will become algorithm-versus-algorithm.4. Every Citizen Is a TargetIn the digital era, espionage has expanded to include everyone. State and non-state actors alike can collect data, influence behavior, and manipulate information at scale. Vinci warns that individuals — not just governments — must now learn basic intelligence skills to safeguard their privacy and security.5. China Is the Central ChallengeWhile Russia and other autocracies remain active, Vinci views China as the United States' primary intelligence adversary. From TikTok to cyber-hacking, he argues, Beijing seeks to shape global perceptions and exploit American data — a strategy that makes Vinci's The Fourth Intelligence Revolution as much about information as ideology.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Stephen J. Campbell chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his choices while crafting Leonardo da Vinci: An Untraceable Life. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Stephen Campbell resists the urge to create a seamless narrative and instead embraces the mystery, silence and gaps in Leonardo da Vinci's story. How the book's structure reflects the fragmented reality of Leonardo's life. The origin of the book's title and how it challenges traditional biographical expectations by leaning into ambiguity. How Campbell uses philosophical chapter titles and historical nuance to explore mythmaking and modern interpretations of Leonardo da Vinci. Why Campbell avoids speculation and instead invites readers to sit with what we don't know, treating uncertainty as revealing rather than inconvenient. The biographer's role as a curator of questions rather than authority, a model of life writing that prioritises transparency over certainty. The myths the book gently dismantles, from the lonely genius trope to misconceptions about Leonardo's inventions and personality. How An Untraceable Life encourages us to rethink what biography can be and to rediscover awe in the unresolvable aspects of a life.

UGI Corporation's Global Enterprise Lead, Learning & Development Wendy Laverty shares how “Breakthrough Thinking” is reshaping leadership, structure, and strategy at UGI. She explains how a series of workshops with team members has encouraged intentional reflection, language, and a culture of curiosity that's unlocking new solutions and sustainable change. Show Notes:UGI's Wendy Laverty shares many inspirational and actionable ways to inspire better thinking that leads to sustainable change. Her key points include: Breakthrough Thinking is intentional, not accidental. Leaders at UGI are asking “I wonder why/if/how…” to challenge assumptions, see blind spots, and design new pathways instead of defaulting to past practice.Language shapes outcomes. Words “get caught like colds.” The way leaders speak influences mindsets, behaviors, and results—so UGI is practicing saying the future they intend to create, then aligning actions to it.Structure enables speed. AmeriGas (a UGI company) shifted to a decentralized, pod-based model—returning authority to frontline managers, running weekly problem-solving calls, and using focus groups to surface gaps and improve the system.Trust + feedback fuel change.Transparent, authentic feedback sessions—and a bias toward curiosity over criticism—are building a culture where learning is continuous and leaders model the behavior they want to see.Lead with “both–and” and look ahead to AI-first learning. UGI equips leaders to hold healthy polarities (e.g., candor and diplomacy) and is exploring AI-first learning approaches to personalize development and drive measurable business results. Wendy recommends the following books:Navigating Polarities Using Thinking TransformationLearning RevolutionPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Leonardo da Vinci non è stato solo il genio universale del Rinascimento, ma anche un personaggio ricco di eccentricità e abitudini sorprendenti che lo rendevano unico nel suo tempo. Dietro al creatore della Gioconda, dell'Ultima Cena e di incredibili invenzioni, si celava un uomo dalle manie peculiari, dalle paure inaspettate e dai comportamenti bizzarri che ancora oggi ci stupiscono. Scopriamo insieme dieci curiosità straordinarie che rivelano il lato più umano e divertente di questo genio irripetibile. 10 Curiosità Sorprendenti su Leonardo da Vinci Il Mancino che Scriveva al Contrario: La Scrittura Speculare Una delle caratteristiche più affascinanti di Leonardo era la sua scrittura speculare: scriveva da destra a sinistra, producendo un testo leggibile soltanto attraverso uno specchio. Questa peculiarità non era dovuta al desiderio di mantenere segreti i suoi progetti, come molti credono, ma aveva origini puramente pratiche. Essendo mancino naturale, Leonardo scriveva così per evitare di sporcare l'inchiostro fresco con la mano mentre procedeva nella scrittura. Tuttavia, questa abitudine non era sempre costante: spesso iniziava a scrivere normalmente da sinistra a destra, poi si fermava improvvisamente, si accorgeva dell'errore e ricominciava al contrario, creando documenti con scritture miste che confondevano i suoi assistenti. I suoi quaderni sono pieni di annotazioni rapide in scrittura speculare, schizzi tecnici con descrizioni al contrario e persino liste della spesa scritte come codici segreti. Questa caratteristica ha contribuito a creare il mito di Leonardo come figura misteriosa e criptata, quando in realtà si trattava semplicemente di una soluzione ingegnosa a un problema quotidiano. Il Vegetariano Anatomista: Una Contraddizione Affascinante Leonardo rappresentava una contraddizione vivente: era un vegetariano convinto che non sopportava di vedere soffrire gli animali, eppure dedicava gran parte del suo tempo a sezionare cadaveri umani per i suoi studi anatomici. Questa apparente incoerenza rivelava in realtà la complessità del suo carattere e la sua sete insaziabile di conoscenza. Acquistava regolarmente uccelli in gabbia ai mercati di Milano e Firenze, non per possederli, ma per il puro piacere di liberarli e osservarne il volo. Studiava attentamente i loro movimenti per i suoi progetti di macchine volanti, ma il gesto aveva anche un significato più profondo: rappresentava la sua filosofia di rispetto per ogni forma di vita. Parallelamente, conduceva dissezioni notturne su cadaveri ottenuti attraverso canali non sempre ufficiali. I suoi studi anatomici erano così avanzati e precisi che anticiparono di secoli molte scoperte mediche. La popolazione locale era spesso terrorizzata da questo personaggio che di giorno predicava amore per gli animali e di notte si dedicava a pratiche considerate macabre e sacrileghe. Durante i suoi studi anatomici, Leonardo scoprì particolari del sistema circolatorio, della struttura muscolare e del funzionamento degli organi che erano completamente sconosciuti ai medici del suo tempo. I suoi disegni anatomici sono ancora oggi considerati capolavori di precisione scientifica e artistica. Il Maestro dei Progetti Incompiuti: L'Arte di Non Finire Leonardo era famoso per la sua incapacità di completare i progetti iniziati. Questa caratteristica lo accompagnò per tutta la vita e fu fonte di infinite frustrazioni per i suoi mecenati, che investivano somme considerevoli senza mai vedere l'opera finita. Il caso più emblematico fu il Monumento Equestre a Francesco Sforza, commissionato dal Duca di Milano. Leonardo lavorò al progetto per ben sedici anni, realizzando studi dettagliatissimi, modelli in scala e persino un modello completo in argilla alto sette metri. Tuttavia, il bronzo destinato alla statua fu requisito per fabbricare cannoni durante la guerra, e il modello in argilla fu successivamente distrutto dai soldati franc...

From SEAL to Studio: The Art of Grit with Justin Hughes In this week's episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter sit down with Justin Hughes — former Navy SEAL turned professional oil painter — whose journey from the battlefield to the art studio embodies the essence of transformation, discipline, and creative courage. Based out of Charleston, South Carolina, Justin has redefined what it means to serve and to create. As a self-taught representational artist, he channels the lessons, emotions, and intensity of his time in the SEAL Teams into his paintings, merging the warrior spirit with the sensitivity of the fine arts. His mission is to bridge two seemingly distant worlds — the world of combat and the world of creativity — revealing that both demand vision, perseverance, and heart. Listeners will hear how Justin's childhood in Southeast Asia, and a fateful encounter with Lone Survivor sparked a dream that would change his life forever. His story takes us through the rigors of SEAL training, moments of doubt and triumph, and the eventual transition from military service to artistry — a path shaped by struggle, purpose, and redemption. Through his brushstrokes, Justin explores what it means to be a modern warrior — one who fights not only on the battlefield but also in the soul. Drawing comparisons to the renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, Hughes uses his art to express the beauty within discipline and the strength found in vulnerability.  In this episode you will hear: • My dad was a Huey pilot. (8:44) • I grew up all over Southeast Asia (9:20) • I was thinking: Whatever is gonna be the hardest thing to do in the military; wherever that realm is, those are the people that want to be in those jobs the most. That's gotta be where my people are at. (14:41) •  One of the biggest misconceptions of BUDs is you can't just show up and not quit. You still have to be a good team guy. You still have to do the work. You gotta be a performer. You gotta be a pro. We're looking for the whole man. (21:05) • For those of you who don't know what pool competency is. It's the hardest single test in BUDs. (37:55) • When I first started painting, I didn't know any artists. I didn't know anything about art. (62:48) • [Melanie] Q: What's your goal with art? A: Just to be better every day. And continue to provide paintings that are meaningful to people. To glorify the Lord through whatever work I'm doing. (74:30) • I'm still saying “Hooyah! like turrets. (75:25) • It takes a lot of bad work. You've gotta be patient with the process. Sometimes a really good thing will look really bad for a long time for a long time before you can polish it up and make it into something beautiful. So… don't quit.

He closes with a Buffett-style case study on Occidental Petroleum and Berkshire Hathaway's recent deal, underscoring the power of simple, steady cash flow over engineered complexity.As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” and it is also one of the surest ways to compound wealth. Topics Covered[00:00:41] – Who's swimming naked?

After three (very full!) weeks of Shakespeare, we reluctantly leave England for Italy—and step into the vivid world of Renaissance art. Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List serves up a refreshing change of scene with Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists and Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography.Both were brand-new to me, and both were a delight. Vasari, himself an accomplished painter and architect, profiles the greats—Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo—not as remote geniuses but as human beings: witty, flawed, brilliant, and endlessly ambitious. His writing reminded me of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars—a chronicle of greatness, but with warmth instead of gossip. Vasari captures not just the artists but the culture that shaped them: a world where beauty was power, art was currency, and patrons competed to prove their taste and influence.Each artist glows in Vasari's telling. Giotto, kind and devoted to the Church; Botticelli, charming and hopeless with money; Leonardo, the restless perfectionist who could give a lizard wings; Raphael, the graceful imitator who died too young; Michelangelo, the divine genius who could never quite trust the world that adored him. Reading Lives left me wondering how Florence could possibly have produced so many masters at once—and wishing we could live, just for a moment, in a world that valued art that deeply.Then came Benvenuto Cellini, the goldsmith, sculptor, and self-styled rogue whose Autobiography reads like an adventure novel. He's talented, impulsive, funny, and so honest that you can't help but like him. Cellini's stories—his fiery temper, his father's musical ambitions, his devotion to Michelangelo—make the Renaissance feel wonderfully alive.This week's title, “True Colors,” fits perfectly. Vasari and Cellini reveal the true colors of art and ambition—divine inspiration, human pride, and all the messy brilliance in between.This is a year-long challenge!

This is the final episode in our three-part series on the life and teachings of Walter Russell, presented in connection with our upcoming project – The NeuroHarmonic Method. Born into extremely disadvantaged circumstances and with no formal education beyond the fourth grade, Russell nevertheless achieved so much that Thomas J. Watson Sr., the founder of IBM, once remarked that it would take seven lifetimes of masterful effort to equal his accomplishments. Over the years, admirers have often described him as a kind of modern Leonardo da Vinci—a self-taught genius whose creativity spanned art, science, philosophy and much more. Russell himself always emphasized that the only way he had accomplished so much was by tapping into the indwelling God presence within. He taught that this same source of intelligence is available to every human being. The purpose of the NeuroHarmonic Method is to provide everyday people with practical understandings and techniques to uncover and activate the higher dimensions of their own inner intelligence. In this episode, we'll explore three key elements of Russell's perspective that are not only fascinating, but potentially transformative as you continue on your own journey to awaken the highest and best within yourself. Enjoy the episode.   Episode 42 – Views From An Elevated Perspective   This is the third episode about Walter Russell, one of the most accomplished people in American history. Episode 40, called Self-Bestowed Genius, gave an overview of Russell's life including some of his major accomplishments. It also described the incredible claim that Russel made that he was in touch with an infinite fountain of wisdom within himself that was the source of all his success in life. He also said that the same intelligence is within every human being.           The episode that followed, called the Five Laws of Success, presented Russell's five key elements on how we can tap into that intelligence to help elevate our lives. Those five elements were humility, reverence, inspiration, deep purpose and joy.           Now, although his accomplishments were remarkable in their own right, this multi-millionaire, internationally acknowledged master of drawing, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, business and philosophy had dropped out of school after the fourth grade, and had accomplished all of it with no real education, just by tapping into this source of inner wisdom. It was hard to believe, but as he always said, his life spoke for itself.   Following his death in 1962, he left behind teachings on many different topics. As I researched them, much of it was over my head. But there are three key points that I found particularly fascinating and I thought I'd pass them along so you can give them some consideration and see if they do anything for you. The first one concerns an ability we have in our consciousness that I had never considered before. Russell was very fond of the idea of something he called decentration which, he taught, was the opposite of concentration.           Now, we all know what it means to concentrate on something. You focus your attention on it and the more you concentrate on it, the more it gets into your mentality. And importantly, a lot of times, we have problems letting go of it, especially if it's charged with troubling emotions like anger, guilt and fear.             Holding on to negativity is far more prevalent than it may seem. According to current research, we each think about 50,000 thoughts a day, with a large percentage of them being negative and recurring, which means that we keep churning over the same negative thoughts and feelings again and again.             But Russell said we have the power to decentrate them. This power is a natural part of our mind, but we haven't been taught to develop it. With concentration, you focus your attention on something and give it your inner energy. With decentration, you do just the opposite. You dissipate your energy and remove your attention from the object.           He said you don't have to try to change the thoughts and emotions. If we have nothing further to gain from examining them, we can just choose to remove our energy from them and they will disappear on their own. After all, the only reason these things exist in our mind is because we are giving them energy. It's a very simple fact, but it can be easily missed.           He said it takes some practice, but like anything else, if we keep trying, we can get good at it. To start with, if a thought or idea is bothering you, just give yourself a verbal command like, “I decentrate that thought.” Or “I decentrate that feeling.” And then let your mind picture withdrawing your energy from it and see it dissipating, like mist in the sunlight.     It seemed like Russell had mastered the process.  He said he could decentrate to zero while he was in the middle of Grand Central Station, meaning he could give zero energy to thought and feeling while being in the middle of a crowd.  It may appear to be a tall order, but another thing Russell always said was, “If I can do it, you can.” You may want to give it a try. After many years, I think I may be starting to get the hang of it. So that's the first point from Russell that I wanted to bring up. The second one is about this inner intelligence that Russell claimed was the source of all his incredible accomplishments. He said it is within each one of us, and it isn't the higher side of our intelligence, or the part of us that is in touch with the higher spheres or some angelic realm of wisdom. It's not the genius part of ourselves or  anything like that. He said that what is inside of us is God Almighty. Period. Full-blast, full-power. God. At first, I found it surprising, then I realized that the idea forms the basis of most religions in the world. Many traditions speak of the Indwelling God Presence. For instance, the 15th century Indian poet Kabir used the image of the ocean and a drop of water to illustrate the point.  God would be the ocean, and each individual would be a drop. Kabir said that the drop is in the ocean, everyone knows this. But the ocean is also in the drop and very few know this. So, we all have God within. But according to Russell, as well as a myriad of other teachers and masters over the ages, if you want to get close to it, you have to surrender to it. And according to them, the more you do, you start to realize that you can merge with it, which, they say, is kind of the point of the whole thing. In his first law of success, humility, Russell put it this way, “I found that to achieve greatness one had to go only one inch beyond mediocrity. But that one inch is so hard to go, that only those who become aware of God in them can make the grade, for no one can achieve that one inch alone.” And he added, “The ‘I' must be forgotten, one must not be the part; he must be the whole. Until one learns to lose oneself, he cannot find himself.” In that vein, when someone asked him, “Why can't I do the things that you can do?” He replied, “The only difference is that I do everything for God and you do everything for your body.”           It reminds me of something I once read about Parmahansa Yogananda, the great yogi from India who spent many years in the west, elevating the lives of millions of people. until he passed away in Los Angeles in 1952.           In response to someone who kept questioning him about his personal life, he once said, “Oh, I killed Yogananda long ago. Only God dwells in this temple now.”           It's always humbling for me whenever I run across expressions like these. The idea of only God dwelling in my temple seems almost unimaginable. With my relentless mind generating a constant stream of random thoughts, I have so much garbage in there, I feel like the line in one of Bob Dylan's songs, “If my thought dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine.”           With that summary of the state of my inner world, that ends the second point of Russell's that I wanted to bring up. The last one is pretty incredible. It's about his vision of our future and it runs pretty deep.             In 1921, he coined the term, “The New Age.”  Apparently, he was the first person to use it. He said that we were now moving into the next stage of our evolution, a new age which he called, “Epoch Three of Humanity.”           So, what were Epoch One and Epoch Two? According to certain theories of brain evolution, our brain didn't start out the way it is now. In the beginning, it was much smaller and we didn't have the ability to think rational thoughts or create language. We had instincts, we had emotional feelings, we were bonded to our family and our tribe, but we couldn't think. According to Russell, this state of being was Epoch One.           Then, for reasons that remain unknown, some major evolutionary changes took place and our brain radically transformed. It got about a third larger with much more fat, and we could begin to think rationally. We could think If-Then.  If I do this, then that will happen. Like I know that the sun comes up on this side of the cave, so if I sleep here, then I'll be warmer in the morning. Soon after, language began to develop, eventually followed by writing. Before this evolutionary change, the only form of communication we had was just glorified grunting.           This ability to think rational thought began Epoch Two of humanity, which went from pre-historic caveman days until now. Of course, rational thought changed our whole world and our lives in it. Every advancement from the wheel to the computer came from it. But critically, one primary factor hasn't changed at all, and that is, survival. We're still struggling to survive, living by the law of the jungle to a large degree. Kill or be killed. Winner takes all. Although it may not be clearly apparent, this fear-based concept of life is at the root of all the greed and lust for power that has dominated human history for all this time. All of this misery, generated by all of our conflicted concepts, theories and opinions, is all based on fear.           But, according to Russell, in Epoch Three of humanity, it is all going to change. It's probably not going to be an overnight transition. It may take some time, maybe even a century or two, and even though it may seem quite dark, supposedly, this is just the darkness before the dawn.             So, what are the implications of this new epoch? What does it mean? According to Russell, it means nothing less than a new kind of human being living a new kind of life on earth.           Humans will eventually be liberated from a life of drudgery. With the right intentions, technology will evolve to the point where all of the great resources of planet earth will be properly harvested for the benefit of all.           It might be hard to understand how bountiful the earth really is, but here are a few quick facts to consider. As far as overcrowding is concerned, if you took every single human being on the planet and put them all together with one yard between them, they wouldn't even fill up the state of Rhode Island. So, the entire population of the world could fit into the smallest state in America.              As far as hunger is concerned, more than 50 percent of all the food presently harvested on earth is thrown out every year, which means that human hunger isn't the result of there not being enough food for everyone. It's the result of misdirected and poorly coordinated human activity.           And when it comes to energy, it is estimated that there is enough power in the amount of sunlight that hits one acre of land in one hour to provide all the electricity to the city of Chicago for a whole year.           So, enough said about enlightened technology, what about the human? This is where it gets really encouraging. Russell said our destiny is to emerge from this fear-based, survival-oriented, dog-eat-dog existence into a much higher level of intelligence, whose foundations will be based on each individual's constant, conscious relationship with that divine energy that is within each one of us or God Almighty, as Russell called it.   Life will be like heaven on earth and if we could see the humans of 100 or 200 years from now, they would appear God-like to us, manifesting all the highest human characteristics. Wisdom, love, compassion and kindness, along with all the other better angels of our nature, would be part of our everyday way of life.             Okay, maybe it sounds too good to be true. But hey, I didn't come up with this stuff, Russell did. And supposedly he was getting it from the source of wisdom within him that was the source of all his amazing achievements. So even though it may sound like a great big piece of pie in the sky, I'm sticking with it. I'd love to imagine that 200 years from now, someone may be reading or listening to this information that came from this primitive man who was living in these primitive times. And that person would be thinking how obvious all of it was. Of course, all of these great things were going to come true. It had to happen and couldn't have been any other way. How obvious! Wishful thinking? Who knows? But no matter what may be happening in the world around us, we're still entitled to our hopes and dreams and as the saying goes, “It takes a dreamer to make a dream come true.”           Well, that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart open and let's get together in the next one.

Athos (Matthew Macfadyen) uses his classic scuba ninja skills, Aramis (Evans) his Assassin's Creed cloak-wearing skills, and Porthos (Stevenson) his getting into prison on purpose skills. However, tragedy strikes when Milady, with the help of the Duke of Buckingham (Bloom) betrays the team and steals the plans for the duke. One year later, D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) is a Gascon bumpkin heading to the big city to start duels with everyone he meets. After picking a fight with Rochefort (Mikkelsen), the best swordsman in France, he picks fights with the 2nd-4th best swordsmen in France: the Three Musketeers. But they become friends anyway, and engage in a highly bastardized version of the book's plot in order to thwart the evil plan of Cardinal Richelieu (Waltz). Will the team accomplish whatever they were trying to do? Will they integrate a bunch of 2010s style 3D elements? Will an airship be shot at by an even bigger airship? You'll just have to listen to find out!

#407 Teleporno - Rich has some big questions to ask about a hymn that seemingly most people in his audience don't remember, so maybe he won't do an hour long comedy show about it then. His guest is internet sensation and fab stand up Eleanor Morton. They talk about Leonardo da Vinci's hate mail, the surprise appearance of Pan in Wind in the Willows, the difficulties of getting a pirate sitcom off the ground (or on to the waves), the stinking bins of the Edinburgh Fringe, why crippling social anxiety doesn't stop comedians getting on stage and why the pandemic was the best thing that could happen (for some people, not everyone apparently) and how there are no mentally ill comedians in Richard's generation.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.
