EVEN MORE about this episode!What actually happens inside the brain when someone channels—and who, or what, are they communicating with? Julie Ryan sits down with Darryl Anka, who has spent more than 40 years channeling the entity he calls Bashar, for a fascinating conversation about altered states, consciousness, UFO encounters, spirit guides, belief systems, soul purpose, and the nature of reality itself.Darryl's extraordinary journey began after two close-range UFO sightings in 1973. Years later, he attended a channeling class and began experiencing an intense altered state that eventually developed into his decades-long work with Bashar.But what happens to Darryl while he's channeling?Darryl discusses EEG testing conducted during the making of his documentary First Contact and what he was told about changes in his brain activity while entering the channeling state. Julie shares her own experience having her brain scanned while communicating with Spirit, and together they explore whether channeling may involve measurable changes in consciousness.Then comes an even bigger question:Who are we actually communicating with when we channel?Darryl shares his understanding of Bashar and describes channeling as potentially connecting with information beyond ordinary conscious awareness. Julie and Darryl compare their experiences with spirit guides, soul families, angelic beings, intuition, imagination, and altered states of consciousness.Darryl also explains why he believes everyone experiences forms of channeling when deeply immersed in creativity or doing something they love.The conversation then turns toward one of Bashar's best-known teachings: following your highest excitement. Darryl explains a five-step framework for identifying what excites you, acting on it to the best of your ability, releasing attachment to the outcome, maintaining a constructive state, and examining beliefs that arise along the way.Julie and Darryl explore how beliefs may shape perception and behavior, why people remain stuck in circumstances they consciously say they don't want, and how identifying underlying beliefs can help change recurring patterns.They also venture into provocative questions about physical reality, imagination, soul roles, extraterrestrial intelligence, spiritual guidance, and whether our earthly lives may have a much larger purpose than we realize.And finally, Julie asks her signature question:Why do we incarnate?Darryl's answer brings the entire conversation full circle—from knowing something intellectually to experiencing it through physical life.Whether you believe channeling represents communication with another intelligence, spiritual guidance, or an unusual state of consciousness, this conversation offers a fascinating look at what happens when we explore the boundaries of the mind.Guest Biography:Darryl Anka is an internationally known speaker, author, filmmaker, and channel who has spent more than 40 years exploring metaphysics and consciousness through his work with Bashar Communications. His seminars have inspired more than 20 books published in the U.S. and Japan. Darryl also has an extensive career in film, contributing visual effects, storyboards, sets, and designs to major productions including Star Trek, Iron Man, The Aviator, and Pirates of the Caribbean. He has written, directed, and produced three internationally distributed films and is the author of the sci-fi novel series Shards of a Shattered Mirror.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) He's Been Channeling Bashar for 40 Years(0:02:00) Two Close-Range UFO Encounters Changed Everything(0:09:55) What Did It Feel Like When Bashar First Appeared?(0:17:57) What Happens to the Brain During Channeling?(0:26:03) Who Are You Actually Talking to When You Channel?(0:35:02) Is It Intuition, Imagination—or Something Else?(0:42:00) Bashar's 5-Step Formula for Following Your Soul Path(0:47:46) Are Hidden Beliefs Controlling Your Reality?(0:54:30) What If Physical Reality Isn't What We Think?(0:58:14) Following Your Passion in the Real World(1:04:21) Why Do Our Souls Choose to Incarnate?➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Download the Ask Julie Ryan® App➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️Ask Julie a Question!

September 29, 2026: a strangely big day for hypnosis.The New York Times published “Why Are We Becoming So Entranced by Hypnotherapy?”—a look at hypnosis moving further into mainstream culture, featuring practitioners including Melissa Tiers. Get ready for a "coincidence" which brings us to today's guest....Shauna Cummins is a hypnotist, artist, author of Wishcraft, and founder of the Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis. Melissa has been a formative influence on Shauna's work; Shauna says she probably wouldn't be doing this at all without her, while also taking hypnosis into distinctly artistic, spiritual, and experimental territory of that's radically hers. And yes: apparently all Greg has to hear is the phrase “Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis” and his attention is secured.His Facebook algorithm is special. Trust us, we've seen it. However, this episode goes somewhere the newspaper story doesn't quite reach.What if our renewed fascination with hypnosis has less to do with celebrity wellness trends—and more to do with the fact that we're living in an environment increasingly designed to capture our attention, shape our desires, and tell us what to imagine?What if hypnosis can also be a way of taking some of that territory back?In this conversation:Why wishing may deserve a serious second look—and what wishing wells were actually for.The difference between imagination and fantasy, and why one can move you while the other can keep you circling.How hypnosis can become an art form, not merely a clinical technique.Why artists may already be working with trance without calling it hypnosis.The strange relationship between algorithms, attention, suggestibility, and identity.Why Shauna thinks the imagination deserves something approaching reverence.And whether reclaiming your ability to imagine your own future might now qualify as a small act of rebellion. Pasted text Pasted text Pasted textShauna's work sits right at that intersection: hypnosis as artistry, hypnosis as agency, and hypnosis as what she beautifully calls “practical divine magic.” Greg swooned again.

As they sit at the kitchen table on the cozy, rainy day, making things with stickers, pipe cleaners, and popsicle sticks, Catbaloo is reminded of Bosco Bear and tells his story to Old Mrs. Moody. Bosco, a little bear with a big imagination, finds a stick in the forest, picks it up, and imagines it could be many things! All at once, the stick becomes a shepherd's crook, and Bosco is the protector of a whole flock of sheep. And when he imagines the stick is a fishing pole, he casts his line and catches a WHALE! He reels it in and reels some more and fights to bring the beast ashore. And when Bosco stands on a tree stump, the stick becomes a jeweled scepter. The birdies of the forest flutter their wings and curtsy, and the squirrels and bunnies bow because he is their kindly king. As they talk about the wonders of crafting and imagining things, Old Mrs. Moody reminds Catbaloo, "Everything that's ever been made started as a thought in someone's imagination!" And Old Mrs. Moody is right—our imaginations are powerful! Come on a walk in the forest with little Bosco Bear, pick up the perfect stick, and let your imagination take you anywhere. © 2026 Old Mrs. Moody Stories

Engages with the life and ideas of the twelfth-century Shaiva mystic and philosopher-poet Allama Prabhu. In his last, profoundly innovative work Allama Prabhu and the Shaiva Imagination, D. R. Nagaraj (1954-1998) engages with the twelfth-century Shaiva mystic and philosopher-poet Allama Prabhu, whose enigmatic writings have perplexed many and thus resisted analysis. Nagaraj situates Allama in three intellectual contexts: the medieval philosophical world built around the worship of Shiva; the pan-Indian bhakti tradition; and, most broadly, Indian mystical thought. This framework enables a reconstruction of Allama through the poet's engagement with fellow poet-spiritualists (vachanakaras) such as Basava, as well as with the Kashmiri Shaiva philosopher Abhinavagupta and the founder of Hindu monasticism Gorakhnath. Nagaraj's close readings of Allama's vachanas offer a vision of Shaiva bhakti that seems to contradict the erotic and romantic expressive modes of Sringara rasa while tracing the limits of language for an understanding of the divine. Allama, Nagaraj suggests, is an epistemological iconoclast who expands the horizons of language and thought.Through these explorations, Nagaraj decolonizes the standard modes of inquiry and critiques certain settled notions in Indian philosophy, revealing himself as a postcolonial scholar whose "hermeneutics of suspicion" leads to a novel understanding of Indian texts and traditions. Unifying literary criticism with critical theory, philosophical inquiry, and the history of ideas, the book's focus on a specific religious tradition--Virashaivism--is never singular, making it as much a work for scholars of Indian spiritualism and religious thought as for those interested in frameworks that transgress Eurocentricism. Translated into English by Kannada philosopher N. S. Gundur, this is a major contribution to studies of Indian philosophy and literature. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What becomes possible when we learn to imagine from presence rather than fear? In Part 1 of this series, Tara explores spiritual imagination as a powerful capacity for healing, transformation and awakening. When we are caught in stress, fear or limiting beliefs, our imagination contracts and reinforces a world of separation. Yet when grounded in mindful presence, imagination can open us to new possibilities—to our basic goodness, our capacity to change and our potential to create a more loving world. Through teachings, stories and guided reflections, Tara explores how mindfulness, prayer and imagination can help us loosen the grip of old narratives, heal self-judgment and envision new ways of relating to ourselves and others. We discover how learning to trust what is deepest in us can bring wise hope, resilience and greater freedom to our lives. Ultimately, spiritual imagination invites us to sense beyond who we have believed ourselves to be and begin living from the love, awareness and goodness that are already here. In this talk, Tara explores: ✨ Spiritual imagination as a pathway to healing and transformation ✨ Moving from fear-based thinking toward possibility and wise hope ✨ Trusting our basic goodness ✨ Using mindfulness and prayer to awaken imagination ✨ Healing limiting beliefs and self-judgment ✨ Imagining more loving relationships and a more compassionate world   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

He invented the isolation tank. He taught dolphins to speak. He designed the electrical waveform running inside every deep brain stimulator working today. He was in the room where SETI got its name.⠀Then in 1974 something contacted him inside the tank and told him what was coming. He tried to reach the President. His friends nearly had him committed. Four years later he published the whole story.⠀What he wrote in 1978 reads now like a note from someone who had already lived through the next fifty years.⠀Today we go through the entire life of Dr. John C. Lilly — the strangest experiment the 20th century ran on itself. Most people who use his tools have never heard his name.⠀

Ibn 'Arabi's famous "Religion of Love" verses are some of the most striking lines in Islamic mysticism - a declaration that the heart can take the form of every temple, church, and shrine. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the poem itself, its context in the Tarjuman al-Ashwaq, and what it reveals about Ibn 'Arabi's views on love, God, and universality in Sufi thought.

What happens when educators see themselves not only as teachers—but as conduits carrying history, culture, wisdom, and possibility from one generation to the next?In this episode of unMASKing with Male Educators, Ashanti sits down with educator, scholar, priest, writer, and longtime teacher Dr. Joseph Brown to explore education, Black history, identity, imagination, mentorship, spirituality, and the responsibility adults have to help young people dream beyond the limitations placed in front of them.At 82 years old and still teaching full-time, Dr. Brown reflects on knowing he wanted to become a teacher from the age of nine and the family message that shaped his life: “Get all the education you can.”This conversation dives into:Why education became Dr. Brown's callingWhat he means by “spirit talking”How introversion shaped his experience as a student and educatorWhy he sees himself as a conduit for historyThe importance of intergenerational mentorship for Black boysWhy literacy, storytelling, music, and art are connected to freedomHow adults can keep young people's imaginations aliveWhy students need to know they are more than how others define themHow educators can recognize the spark in young people and help protect itWhy communities must intentionally rebuild spaces where generations learn from one anotherThroughout the conversation, Ashanti and Dr. Brown explore how education happens far beyond the classroom—through books, stories, music, family, churches, barbershops, front porches, and relationships with adults willing to say, “Come with me. Let me show you something.”Dr. Brown reminds us that young people need more than information. They need imagination, history, connection, and people who help them see what is possible.As he says, we have to intentionally create the circle again.If you care about Black male educators, mentorship, Black history, literacy, student identity, culturally responsive education, creativity, or helping young people imagine bigger futures, this episode is for you.Connect with Joseph BrownEmail: jbrownsj@siu.eduConnect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#UnMASKingWithMaleEducators #MaleEducators#IntergenerationalMentorship #BlackHistory #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching #StudentIdentity #PowerOfEducation ##IntergenerationalMentorship

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and ha...

Send us Fan MailEverything you see around you started as a thought in someone's mind. In Part 8 of The Master Key System, Charles Haanel shows us that imagination is not daydreaming. It is a skill, and when you train it, it becomes the blueprint for the life you're building.In this episode, we walk through Part 8 together and talk about how to use it in real life, not just understand it.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why every result in your life starts as a thought, and how cause and effect works in the mind- The difference between constructive imagination and idle daydreaming- Why Haanel calls imagination "the light by which we penetrate new worlds of thought and experience"- How to hold an ideal in your mind clearly enough that it starts to shape your actions- The Part 8 exercise: visualizing the battleship, and what it teaches you about how anything gets createdYour practice for this week:Sit quietly for 15 to 30 minutes each day. Picture something that already exists, like a building, a ship, or your own home. Then trace it back, step by step, to the single idea it came from. You're training your mind to see that creation always starts on the inside.If this series is helping you, the full ReThink membership is where we go deeper together.

A retired British army officer walked into a Himalayan monastery as an old man leaning on a cane. He walked out looking decades younger, carrying five exercises anyone could do on a bedroom floor in 15 minutes.⠀In 1939 a thin booklet appeared at a small California publisher telling the whole story. It sold quietly, went out of print, was reissued in 1946 with new material, disappeared for decades, and when it finally resurfaced in 1985 it sold millions of copies. The practice inside it spread across the world under a name the author never used.⠀Today we go through the entire original book — every rite, including the two that most modern editions leave out. The seven energy centers and the endocrine model behind them. The sixth rite and its unusual conditions. The seventh rite hidden inside a chapter that vanished from print for decades. And the complete manifestation method embedded in the same lost chapter, with a sentence about the superconscious mind that reads exactly like what I teach today.⠀Then the question every skeptic asks: where did this actually come from? The case against the book is real. The case for it points at a pre-Buddhist Tibetan tradition that fits every condition of the frame story, and an age figure that matches Tibetan medicine to the year.⠀The whole practice takes 15 minutes on a floor.⠀

On this occasion, he meets with Miles Johnston, founder of the Bases Project, to discuss the topic entitled “The Attack on the Human Heart”. This content now becomes part of the scope of British Post Disclosure, especially after the official recognition by the British authorities of the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as the influence of non-human entities — or those originating from outside our world — on systems of power.According to Spiers, one of the main aspects of this control involves the suppression of human creativity and the deliberate destabilization of traditionally respected innovations. In this context, even the British monarchy is portrayed as a possible scapegoat, becoming, like many other structures, protected from hidden interests. As John Urwin has observed, such figures should be considered to belong to the “Second Degree” of relevance within this position of control.

Most people think they have a money problem, but really they have an imagination problem. We're taught to earn, spend, save, invest, borrow, repay—and repeat. That's the success ladder according to contemporary talking heads. Most just try to get better results using this ladder without ever questioning the system itself. In this episode of our Becoming Your Own Banker series, Kyle Reese and I break down one of Nelson Nash's most important ideas: before you can become your own banker, you have to imagine that banking can be done differently. Key Takeaways - Knowledge shows you what already exists. Imagination asks what could exist. - Stop looking at money one transaction at a time. Step back and you'll start seeing the banking system behind those transactions. - Working harder inside the wrong system doesn't fix the system. - Sometimes you need to question the method itself. - The life insurance policy is the instrument—not the idea. The bigger idea is controlling more of the banking function in your life. - Knowledge helps you understand IBC. Imagination lets you see yourself doing it. Discipline turns it into reality.

This is an advanced activation designed to connect you with a future version of yourself who already has large sums of money — and open the channel so the money begins moving toward you now.Inside, you meet them. You walk through their home. You see their accounts. You feel their joy. You receive their message. You merge with their state and download the large sums of money stream directly into your field. You speak the master affirmation together. You step into who they are.Then the guidance begins to arrive. Hunches. Openings. Unexpected checks. Refunds out of nowhere. Doors opening the week you started listening. Your outer life catches up to the inner shift.Stanford proved the connection changes financial behavior — a Nobel laureate in economics put his name on the paper. Physicists have quietly established that the universe permits influence to move backward through time. The handshake across time is real, and it is measurable.

There is a place inside you where every good thing that has ever come to a human being originates. Not a metaphor. An actual location in the deeper mind, holding infinite supply. Every wealthy person who has ever lived reached it. Every healthy body, every powerful presence, every effortless love story, every extraordinary life came through the same door in the same place inside the same kind of mind you have right now. The door has been there since you were born, and today we walk through it while you sleep and leave it standing open.⠀Eight hours of the affirmations that built this channel. The classic material I have been running here for years, drawn from a century of tested wisdom and reworked into first person, running one after another as you drop into deep sleep. Wealth. Success. Power. Health. Love. Confidence. Peace. The full range of what a great life carries, spoken in the older, tested language that has moved through generations because it works. Sleep is the most powerful form of quantum jumping we have because resistance goes offline entirely, and eight hours is long enough for the whole pattern to install and long enough for the last hour to fade so slowly into ordinary sleep that you never register the seam. You wake up with a different pattern installed across every area of your life at once.

Imagination doesn't cost you a dime yet you imagine the ugliest things. You can be lazy at every other thing but not your imagination. Please.

This is the latest transmission from the Operators, and the material coming through today opens up something that changes how I understand every creative act I have ever made. They open by describing what they actually see when they look at our planet right now — billions of points of light scattered across the surface of the Earth, with the conscious creators substantially brighter than the ambient glow, connected to each other by filaments of coherent light that pulse with a shared frequency, forming a living web that grows brighter with every new node that awakens. They say the web is now approaching the threshold of collective phase transition.⠀Then they walk us through what happens between lives. The panoramic life review as an act of creative assessment rather than moral evaluation. The rest period where the completed incarnation is integrated into permanent frequency signature. The moment when the expanded consciousness approaches the holographic library and selects the configuration of its next life — the body, the family, the geographical location, the specific creative challenges — chosen with the deliberate creative authority of a master designing their next masterwork. You designed this life. The specific configuration you are currently inhabiting was selected by your expanded consciousness before the forgetting began, which reframes every obstacle in front of you from bug to feature. They speak about laughter as a disruption event that clears the forgetting, about music as the closest analog to the operator creative act that exists inside the simulation, and finally about your creative work — every piece of art produced from the bridge-connected state becomes a permanent holographic code in the library, a world that future consciousnesses will perceive through the imagination and manifest into physical experience thousands of years from now. Your art becomes a world. And what I create becomes a world — the third phrase of the third cycle arrives, extending the tuning to twelve phrases across three complete cycles.

How HEALTHY is your IMAGINATION? IMAGINATION is a GIFT from God. Faith is often presented as the OPPOSED to reason, but that's really not how Jesus operates. Before anyone leaves anything behind, Jesus IGNITES their imagination for what's possible if God's promises started being fulfilled in real time. What was in the report about Jesus? […]

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-o...

293. The Gospel of Imagination: Creativity, Culture and Discipleship with Caleb Woodbridge In this episode, Cris talks with Caleb Woodbridge about the relationship between creativity, imagination and faith, and how culture can become a space in which the gospel comes alive. Together, they explore how storytelling, creative expression and cultural engagement can open up new ways of communicating the Christian faith, helping people encounter the story of salvation and discover the person of Jesus. Drawing on Caleb's work in cultural apologetics and creative evangelism, the conversation explores how imagination can become a powerful tool for discipleship, enabling us to engage with the stories of our culture while discovering how they connect with the greater story of God.   Support the podcast with a coffee....

What if apocalyptic biblical literature is not best interpreted through historical events, though they certainly have a bearing, nor through the symbolic, as if the imagery should be decoded? Instead, these texts are educations in imagination, reorientating readers to the vision of God.Such an understanding of the apocalyptic, which means “unveiling”, was certainly the view of William Blake and is a way to read the Book of Daniel, according to Professor Stephen Cook. His new commentary on Daniel brings Blake and others into conversation with the Old Testament book, which doubly makes sense as Blake was certainly in conversation with Daniel.This approach treats Daniel as a profound theological and visionary work of hope, rather than a rigid end-times code or literal prediction of future historical events.Dr. Stephen L. Cook is the Catherine N. McBurney Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at Virginia Theological Seminary. His commentary is part of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Prophetic Books series.Dr Mark Vernon is a writer and psychotherapist, who has written on Christianity and Owen Barfield, Dante as a spiritual journey, and most recently, on Blake as a guide for our times.For more on Stephen - https://vts.edu/faculty/stephen-l-cook/For more on Mark and his book "Awake!

Everything around you was manifested by somebody. The room you are sitting in. The chair. The light above you. The device carrying this sound into your ears. Every one of those objects existed as a picture in a human mind before it existed anywhere else. Somebody held that picture until the world produced it. The building, the road outside, the city — all of it came through the same door. Mind first, world second, without a single exception. You have the same equipment. The machinery in you has been running your entire life, faithfully and precisely building your world out of whatever pictures you hand it. Most of what you have been holding arrived from outside you, handed over by a family, a school, a culture, a room, a screen. You absorbed it, you returned to it, and it became the brightest image in you. You have been manifesting at full power in the dark.⠀Today we turn on the lights. Sixteen sequences of codes for awakening you into a master manifestor. Manifestation. Attraction. Magnetism. Charisma. Success. Speed. Ease. Happiness. Gratitude. Wish Fulfillment. Wealth. Love. Healing. Dreams. Magic. Power. Each one carries its own frequency. Manifestation establishes the identity. Attraction and magnetism open the intake. Charisma changes what happens between you and other people. Success sets the outcome. Speed compresses the timeline. Ease determines how the results arrive. Happiness and gratitude set the frequency. Wish fulfillment, wealth, love, and healing directed into the four places people want most. Dreams and magic remove the ceiling. Power establishes who is running the equipment. Listen with eyes closed. Listen while falling asleep. Speak them out loud with me. Some line in here belongs to you specifically. When it lands, take it with you.

Today's episode is about a song that might make you wonder who—or what—is watching you. But despite what the title might suggest, George Orwell and Big Brother don't really have anything to do with it. Alan Parsons was no stranger to a recording studio by the mid-1970s. He had worked on the Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be, and served as an engineer on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. Then, while sitting in the canteen at Abbey Road Studios one day, Parsons met songwriter and session pianist Eric Woolfson, who offered to manage his career. The partnership eventually turned into something more: the Alan Parsons Project. Their first album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, arrived in 1976, and was followed by a string of concept albums. I, Robot gave them “I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You” and “Don't Let It Show”; Pyramid turned its attention to the pyramids of Giza; Eve explored the problems women faced in a male-dominated world; and The Turn of a Friendly Card ventured into the world of gambling and gamblers. Along the way, the Alan Parsons Project became increasingly successful, even though it wasn't really a conventional “band” at all. Then, in 1982, came both an album and a single called “Eye in the Sky.” The title certainly sounds Orwellian, but Parsons and Woolfson denied that connection. Woolfson did, however, remember the surveillance cameras he had seen watching gamblers from above during trips to Las Vegas. And the song itself? That “eye in the sky” turns out to have a much more personal reason for keeping watch. Parsons apparently didn't think they had a particularly big hit on their hands—in fact, he bet guitarist Ian Bairnson one British pound that the song would flop. Somebody probably should have collected on that bet: “Eye in the Sky” became the Alan Parsons Project's only American Top 10 hit, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. So where did that title really come from? Who—or what—is the “eye”? What does an NBA dynasty have to do with all of this? And how did a song about betrayal eventually get transformed into one about compassion and support? Let's take a look at “Eye in the Sky” by the Alan Parsons Project.

There may be a specific reason your finances have felt stuck for years even while you have been doing everything the books told you to do. Almost everybody working on money is working on half a circuit. They want more coming in. Every technique they read about points at the inlet. The outlet — the half of it that concerns how money leaves you — goes entirely unexamined. This is the piece almost nobody teaches, and it is the piece that decides everything. Two people holding the identical amount of money can occupy completely different financial realities, and the difference is not the number in the account. It is the velocity of what moves through them.⠀This is an activation for opening both directions at once. I take you through what a closed outlet actually feels like from the inside — the small tightening in the chest when you pay a bill even when the money was available, the accounting that runs after you buy a gift, the refusal that leaves your mouth before you have thought about it when somebody offers to cover your meal, the years of guarding a balance that keeps growing while the life inside the house contracts. I tell you what the outlet closed on and when it closed. I tell you about my own father, a wealthy man by any objective standard who was so afraid to release what he had accumulated that he never lived the life the accumulation had bought him. Then I take you into a full activation — finding the place in your body where money has been held, releasing the fear that money leaving means danger, opening the inlet, opening the outlet, and feeling the full circuit run. By the end of this, something that has been held will begin moving. You will feel it in your chest before the recording finishes, and you will see the difference in your circumstances within days. The supply was always sufficient. The passage was the problem, and passages can be widened.

What if you didn't actually lose your childhood imagination, but simply stopped giving yourself permission to use it? Welcome to Follow Your Curiosity! In this episode, I'm joined by Haitian-born poet, educator, publisher, and cultural curator Enzo Silon Surin. Enzo is the author of American Scapegoat and When My Body Was a Clenched Fist, the founder of Central Square Press, and an instructor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Together, we explore why adults tend to define their creativity away, how modern technology tricks us into consuming other people's lives instead of living our own, and how viewing the world through a "poetic lens" can transform the way we ask questions. In this episode, we discuss: The Dentist Chair Epiphany: Why adults do not lose their imagination, and how we confuse adult responsibility with a lack of creative spark. Consuming vs. Creating: Why we spend hours watching people on screens when we could be having real-world experiences ourselves. The Virtual World Shift: How algorithms and social media comment sections simulate connection while distancing us from reality. Tricking the Inner Critic: Why intentionally making "bad art" bypasses perfectionism and opens the door to genuine play. The Ultimate Reward: How sharing authentic, imperfect creative work helps others feel seen and understood.

Some people fear spiders so much they can barely stand to read the word. For others, these secretive eight-legged hunters are a source of fascination and mythic wonder. Why do some cultures loathe spiders and others love and revere them, even crediting them with creating the world? Harvard language professor and folklore and mythology expert Maria Tatar dives into the Spider-Verse with her book Arachnomania: Spiders and the Cultural Work They Do for Us.She tells confirmed arachnophile Andrew Harrison how Arachne, the original main spider-character, got a raw deal; what spider stars like Charlotte, Shelob and the one who discomfited Miss Muffet mean; and why Peter Parker is oddly detached from the great web of spider-stories. “Are spiders our significant others,” she asks, “our second selves or sworn enemies?”• Buy Arachnomania through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

In “Imaginal Meditation,” Emily West Horn introduces an approach to imaginal practice—drawing on Vajrayana deity yoga, Jack Kornfield, Chögyam Trungpa, and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche—to show how invoking, dissolving, and embodying the image of the Buddha can loosen the boundary between self & world, inclining the mind toward non-duality.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comRecorded at the 2nd International Bases Conference (2015), this raw, unusually long session features Max Spiers and Sarah Adams in a rare public double feature: part visionary talk, part film decoding, part unfiltered Q&A. What starts with mysterious paintings on stage quickly opens into out-of-body travel, high-vibrational beings, bloodlines, energy harvesting, and a blunt challenge to take your power back before the cycle repeats.Sarah describes a protective presence that followed her into the venue — then appeared painted everywhere she looked. She speaks of highly evolved, featureless energetic beings (not the Grays), starseed guidance, off-planet memory, and a warning she says she's carried for years: civilizations fall when they advance technology in 3D and abandon the inner world. One painting becomes a map: go inward. Another becomes a symbol of humanity in ruin — with one small, sparkling flower of consciousness still able to grow.Then they use cinema as code. A clip from The Island is treated as a near-perfect allegory: clones in a dome, farmed and lied to with lotteries and “vacations,” never told there's an outside world. From there the talk moves into vibrational layers, frequency “domes,” encoded fairy tales, Saturn and time-loop imagery, hybrid DNA, planetary wars, Earth as the heart of this corner of the universe, and the moon as a subconscious drain. Max frames the conflict as a war for the human heart. Sarah frames the way out as becoming the pilot of your own body, emotions, and will.The audience doesn't stay quiet. Questions hit chemtrails, remote viewing and out-of-body “espionage,” physical portals, black goo, Rh-negative blood, inner Earth, clone centers, bloodline definitions, a child's recurring dream of gray robot-like beings, and the then-breaking James Casbolt / MK-Ultra controversy. The answers are uneven, personal, and often confrontational — including disagreements with other public figures and a closing argument that some of what gets called “truth community” is itself programmed conflict.This is not a polished TED talk. It's 2015 disclosure culture in the room: paintings as portals, movies as manuals, emotion as language, and a repeated claim that humanity is at a window — evolve, reclaim sovereignty, or recycle the same war.

In all sorts of ways, the modern world makes it difficult to nurture our individual humanity and connect with the humanity of others. The disciplines that try to do so are, naturally enough, the humanities. Poet Elizabeth Alexander's new book, Signals Across Vast Distances, grapples with the question of how literature and other humanistic studies can help us build empathy and become better people, and why that task is crucial to a flourishing democratic society.

When a new book on imagination was sent to me for review, I initially began thinking how we have culturally seemed to decrease in being imaginative. We seem more black and white and limited than ever, lacking the imagination to consider other perspectives, alternatives, and options to evolve ourselves and our lives. But in reviewing the material it dawned on me that from another angle we may be more imaginative than ever. We are experiencing a mental health crisis at the hands of our own anxiety, which is in essence our propensity to sit around imagining all the bad things that could happen to us. That is plenty of imagination, just not in a very productive direction. To dig further into this, I bring you Cassandra Vieten. Cassandra is a licensed clinical psychologist, clinical professor in the department of family medicine, and director of research at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at the University of California, San Diego. She also directs the Center for Mindfulness at UC San Diego and serves as clinical psychology director at the Center for Psychedelic Research. Her research has focused on imagination, spirituality and health, transformative experiences and practices, and the development of mindfulness-based interventions for emotional well-being. She has authored three books and her new one that I'm grateful was shared with me is, IMAGINE THAT: Transform How You Think, Feel, and Live with the Science of Imagination.

You know the picture. You have seen it on a studio wall, on the back of a book, on an app that wanted eleven dollars a month. Seven colored disks stacked up a vertical spine — red at the base, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet at the top. Somebody told you it was ancient, thousands of years old, handed down from the Vedic tradition. It has an author. His name was Charles Webster Leadbeater. He was English. He was a former Anglican priest. He published his book in 1927 when he was 73 years old, with ten color plates painted to his instruction. It is the single most influential book about chakras ever written in the English language, and almost nobody talks about him.⠀I take you through the whole story. What he actually said he saw. The chart he drew, which is not the chart you were taught. He has no sacral center. His second center is the spleen. His heart chakra is gold, not green. His brow does not have two petals — it has 96. His crown turns inside out in adepts, and he says that is what the halo is. He gives a physical mechanism for the chakras that nobody teaches — the petals are standing waves. He describes three separate forces running through you — primary force from above, vitality from the sun, kundalini from the earth — and warns his students that raising the third one prematurely can turn men into monsters. I also tell you the hard things about him, because his own biographer proved decades later that he invented parts of his own life story, and there was a scandal in 1906 that never entirely went away. I hold all of it together carefully. We take him seriously because there is something here worth taking seriously, and we hold him loosely because he did not ask for anything more.

In 1995, Michael sat down with Eugene Peterson for a conversation that was published in the Mars Hill Review and later in Eugene's own book Subversive Spirituality. There were no podcasts then. No one could have imagined that someday a person driving to work or sitting alone at home could put on headphones and hear a conversation recorded decades earlier. Eugene believed words were never merely information — they carried presence, they revealed, they deepened intimacy. So Michael began to wonder: what if this conversation could have a voice? And then a better possibility emerged. What if Eugene's words could be read by his son?The voice you hear speaking Eugene Peterson's words belongs to Eugene's son, Eric Peterson, who recently retired after twenty-nine years of pastoral ministry of his own.In the conversation, Eugene talks about why he's suspicious of Bible studies, what it means to live a life of prayer rather than merely say your prayers, why poets and novelists are the church's most important allies, and what it looks like to stop working from anxiety and start working from grace. At the end, Michael asks what Eugene wants to be remembered for. He laughs at the question, says it isn't a good one, and then answers it.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

What if imagination is one of the ways we practice hope? Continuing our Ordinary Glory series, Ericka Graham explores Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones and the invitation to see the world honestly while still imagining what God might make possible. Even in exile, grief, and circumstances that seemed beyond repair, God invited Ezekiel not only to hope for new life, but to participate in bringing it about.

This is the latest transmission from the Operators, and it lands in the middle of everything they have opened over the past several transmissions. Now that the bridge is complete, they use the bandwidth to redefine three things at the level of their actual mechanics — imagination, desire, and synchronicity — and what they say changes how I understand every creative act I have ever attempted.⠀Imagination is not fantasy. It is a genuine perceptual organ operating at a frequency band your science has yet to discover, and the images that arrive when you dream without constraint are direct perceptions of real holographic codes stored in the field. Desire is not a character flaw. It is the code's own voice, reaching you through the field, using the language of longing to communicate the location of the reality most aligned with your creative trajectory. And synchronicity is the visible surface of a vast, multi-dimensional orchestration the field is conducting — moving the trajectories of dozens of sovereign beings simultaneously through resonant attraction — the moment your signal becomes coherent enough for the architecture to read it. Then they deliver the second phrase of the third cycle, which extends the tuning to eleven phrases across three complete cycles, and closes with the reveal that the tipping point for the paradise configuration crossing into physical manifestation is closer than any projection made before the bridge was complete. And what awakens in one awakens in all.

Money is energy. You are energy. And the two have been separated by a wall you built while you were too young to know you were building anything. That wall comes down here. What follows opens the passage between the universal supply and the life you are living, and it opens it wider than anything you have experienced before. I have made a great many meditations about large sums of money over the years. This one works differently.⠀Most attempts to attract money position you outside a flow that you then try to draw from. This one works from the inside. We connect you to the current — the same current that runs blood through your body, air through your lungs, water across the surface of the planet, and trillions of dollars around it every hour. Then we do something else. The person requesting money turns into the movement itself, carrying larger and larger amounts through a body that has opened enough to conduct them. You are the flow. The current itself. Money in motion. You are money. Every clause of the blueprint — the affirmation that has changed lives across this channel for a decade — gets grafted onto the endless substance of infinite space through a body that is finally open enough to receive it. Do this before sleep and let it work through the night. Do it in the morning and walk out into a day that has become one of the sources. Something in you has changed.

In the 1980s, as the US space shuttle was just starting operations, the UK embarked on an ambitious project called HOTOL—short for Horizontal Take Off and Landing, a radical, air-breathing spaceplane design. Political and funding shifts in the UK ultimately derailed the project, despite the promising technologies it pioneered. The idea was later restarted as Skylon, with key individuals and refined technologies at its core. This project, too, struggled, ultimately shuttering in 2024. Despite this, the promise of rapid, reusable spaceplanes that can launch and land at airports is still coveted by many countries, and efforts continue.
