Here is the latest chat ready for the Marquee after it has had its Sneak Peek time in the speakeasy. Chris and I go all over the board, including into the Woo. Christopher Knowles began his career in 1996, writing and drawing comics, particularly, Halo, an Angel's Story, a mini-series published by Sirius Entertainment, and contributing to the art in a graphic novel based on the Saturday Night Live cartoon The X Presidents. He was also the editor of the Top Shelf Productions magazine Comic Book Artist from 2000–2004 and has written articles for publications such as The Jack Kirby Collector and sites like Comic Book Resources. Knowles wrote a book called Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes (2007), which won an Eagle Award for "Favourite Comics-Related Book". He co-authored a book published in 2008 about The X-Files TV series called The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths, and the Movies. In October 2010, Viva Editions published his latest book, The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll, which Voice of America says presents rock and roll as having its roots "in the mystery cults of the ancient world", then "follows the evolution of rock 'n' roll from an expression of youthful rebellion to a symbol of American culture." Since November 2007 Knowles has been blogging on topics related to his books *Recorded on the 26th of Feb 2024 Chris's Website: https://secretsun.blogspot.com Also, come join the new website where we have a forum and a shop: https://thecosmicsalon.com/community/ Tips are most welcome: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/niish369 I want to thank the producers of this show: Meredith Walako (Scheduling, bookings, and social media manager).

There are plenty of books that offer advice about how to get or keep love in your life. But what about the stories we've all heard of people who do absolutely crazy things in the name of love, things that are the complete opposite of the sober advice offered by self-help books? In CRAZY LITTLE THING: Why Love and Sex Drive Us Mad, publishing in December by Viva Editions, Liz Langley interviewed dozens of people on the extreme edges of love and desire, as well as the experts who are uncovering new scientific information that urges us to ask: how much of our behavior is really our choice? Psychologists, academics and analysts of culture continue to offer us better understanding of ourselves in love and other areas, but neurologists and other specialists, armed with the brain scan, have taken the game to a higher level. Reaching across science, literature and newspaper headlines to illuminate the irrational things people do in the name of love, Langley reveals mental disorders, paraphilias, God and extraterrestrial conspiracies. Edgar Alan Poe's wife succumbed to tuberculosis when she was just 25 and forevermore his work was populated by sweet young women who died too young, often from wasting diseases. Nadine and Bob had both devoted their lives to the church, a nun and priest who never considered any other life until they met one another. And though turning toward each other seemed irrational, their love turned out to be their true commitment to spirituality. When his wife died in 2003, Le Van, a 55 year-old father of seven, at first slept on top of her grave. When his kids found out and prevented him from visiting the graveyard, he brought her home and slept beside her there. Langley goes on to explain recent breakthroughs in brain science for general readers. This book isn't a how-to. It's more of a guess-what. CRAZY LITTLE THING is a pop romp that begins to make sense of the burbling, boiling soup of endorphins, hormones and neurotransmitters that spill from our brains to make us do insane things in the name of love. Liz Langley is a columnist for SexIs magazine and her writing has appeared in/on Salon.com, Jezebel, Alternet, Details, Glamour, Bust, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, Carnal Nation and Gene Simmon's Tongue. She's regularly blogs for MyPleasure.com and has been a columnist for the Toronto Sun, the Orlando Weekly and the Orlando Sentinel and has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, Florida Press Association and Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.

Imagine being connected to an infinite source of loving energy and feeling whole, happy and content. Imagine experiencing life as a source of limitless creative possibility. Susyn Reeve contends that all of us have a wellspring of limitless creativity and drive within to achieve that sense of fulfillment. In THE INSPIRED LIFE: Unleashing your Mind's Capacity for Joy, publishing in November by Viva Editions, Reeve, with Joan Breiner, offers proven tools to access your inspiration, no matter how deeply buried. Directed to those of us who need a push to open our minds and hearts to the vast creative potential and possibility alive in each moment, THE INSPIRED LIFE urges readers to wake up from the trance of life on automatic and appreciate what they do have. The book reframes breakdowns as stepping-stones to breakthroughs, with inspiring stories and quotes, practices and exercises to access the power of your mind to live a life truly guided by your gifts, talents, skills and abilities. Educator and coach Joan Breiner provides the science behind how the brain works with a spiritual focus, and how to create new brain pathways that allow for habits of thought to support the life you desire. Every chapter ends with an "Inspired Life Action," a simple exercise that reinforces the concepts discussed. An example of one of the "Inspired Life Actions" is Accepting What Is:Practice accepting "what is." When you are talking about the situations in your life-whether they appear to be fortunes or misfortunes-simply describe them as "what is" without attributing blame or "good" or "bad" meaning to them. Notice of your tendency is to automatically focus on drama and what your experience is when you stick to the facts. As meaning making machines, humans have a tendency to automatically tell stories that reflect our beliefs about ourselves, our relationships and our lives. Notice what beliefs are being expressed through your stories.Living an inspired life is an inside job that begins with making a choice, with saying, "Yes, I choose an inspired life." THE INSPIRED LIFE: Unleashing your Mind's Capacity for Joy will show you how. Susyn Reeve is the co-founder of Self-Esteem-Experts.com and the award-winning author of CHOOSE PEACE & HAPPINESS.
