Podcasts about Imagination

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Imagination. - in your previous episode I mentioned my suspicions that I would be having some more episodes dealing with Walt Whitman very soon. Well that time has come, and I'd love to talk a little bit more with the wax figure of Walt WhitmanWalt, are you prepared to speak to me tonight?Certainly George, you know it can get rather boring up here on this pedestal and I welcome the chance to just simply communicate with someone who is appreciative.Well Walt, you can certainly put me in that category. I would like to ask you if you had just one thing to say or tell the listener who listening to this podcast what would it be?George, I would like to believe that my writing helped to capture and define the spirit of the growing United States during the challenging 1800s - and yes they were most definitely challenging times. I would like to think that I had a bold and unusual way of writing that created a new artistic style for America.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

This week, we share a "Space for God" devotional led by Rev. Dan Marotta, who draws us into the profound riches of one of the world's most familiar prayers. By unpacking the Lord's Prayer line-by-line, Dan helps us see anew both the cosmic and deeply personal invitation Jesus offers his followers through these few words.Check out Dan's book: Liturgy in the Wilderness: How the Lord's Prayer Shapes the Imagination of the Church in a Secular AgeView Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesLearn More About Spiritual Direction through Coracleinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleOriginally Recorded 2/14/23Support the showFor the Journey is a resource of the Coracle Center of Formation for Action and is made possible through the generous support of men and women across the globe.

By 1970, the "Psychedelic Soul" movement was beginning to wane, leading producer Norman Whitfield and The Temptations to return to their ballad roots—but with a sophisticated, dream-like twist. This episode deconstructs the instrumental layers of “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)” and explores the brilliant production of Whitfield, the legendary contribution of The Funk Brothers, and the heartbreaking reality behind the lyrics. This episode serves as a bittersweet tribute to a group at a crossroads, marking the final appearances of both Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams. Beyond the music, this episode explores the history of The Temptations during this recording session. As the classic lineup began to fracture, the song became a final curtain call for Eddie Kendricks' ethereal falsetto and features Paul Williams' single poignant line. Let's celebrate the enduring legacy of a song that remains one of the most perfect three-minute stories ever committed to tape. "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" by N. Whitfield, B.

Do you use your imagination enough? Most parents think of imagination as something for playtime — a "nice to have" that fades once kids get older and life gets "serious." But Dr. Cassandra Vieten, director of science programs at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego, joins Dr. Aliza Pressman to make the case that imagination is a trainable skill with real developmental and psychological weight. They unpack the connection between imagination and anxiety, why kids naturally live closer to the "field of possibility" than adults do, and how something as simple as a car-ride question can open up conversations that "how was your day?" never will. What You'll Learn: The real, physiological link between imagination and anxiety How to use your child's favorite fandom as a doorway into connection Strategies to turn discipline moments into imagination-building thought experiments How to use screens and social media for connection instead of "slot machine" scrolling

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis is a throwback episode to honor the amazing Carrie Olaje who has been super busy and can't wait to start podcasting again! I wanted to shine a light on her testimony (and first ever episode we did together) as it generated tens of thousands of views on my last YouTube channel before it was terminated and then was reuploaded to this channel. She is absolutely phenomenal. Let's revisit Carrie's second podcast and public disclosure...---------------------This week I know you are all going to be just as excited as I am to have back on the show: ritual abuse, human trafficking and mind control survivor, mother, entrepreneur, tattoo cover-up extraordinaire, artist, gallery and tattoo shop owner, upcoming podcast host of her own YouTube channel, and walking miracle: Carrie Olaje ( @carrieolaje )Carrie was born into a multi-generational incest-based family and from a young age was sold into government and military-sanctioned mind control programs with the goal of making her a child assassin, sex slave, and ritual butcher - just to name of few of her jobs. Her abuse was perpetuated initially by her father who then passed her on to other owners and handlers who furthered her programming, trafficking and ritual abuse. If you missed her incredible testimony - it is a MUST WATCH. Her story had a tremendous impact on me and I was so thrilled to see so many of YOU commenting in length how her story impacted you personally.We prefaced Carrie's last interview with a ‘trigger warning' because one of the things she did - which we haven't done on this show much - was go into graphic detail about specific rituals she was used in along with artwork she created for visuals to further explain the rituals. This was an extremely impactful way to explain something most of us listening cannot even begin to imagine or comprehend. We received so many comments and on how many people were able to understand on a deeper level. I'm going to preface this episode as well with a ‘TRIGGER WARNING' as well because this time around, Carrie will be doing an even deeper dive into programming, rituals, core splitting, dissociation and so much more. Our hope is that this information furthers your deeper understanding on these topics whether you are a survivor or an advocate. It means so much to me to see your support of the podcast guests and I just want to say a quick ‘thank you' to everyone listening for uplifting, supporting and validating each guest who has the courage to get on this podcast to share their testimony. It just goes to show, everyone has a story.Now on her healing journey, Carrie said it best when she stated the following: Quote: “I feel like they've honed a sharp weapon… and now it's pointed at them”. A testament not only to how far she's come, but also to how powerful it is for a trauma survivor to take back their power and realize that the God-given gifts they were given that abusers tried to exploit can be taken back and used in a very powerful way to change the world. Another quote of Carrie's: “If I saw my abuser on the street - it's HIM that would be scared of me” Wow… If you missed her incredible testimony, I'm going to link it below - please go watch it was so powerful!I wanted to give a reminder that if you are a survivor or whistleblower who wants to share your story on the podcast or wants to share any information privately with me, you can now email me at IMAGINEABETTERWORLD2020@GMAIL.COM! Please send me a briefing of who you are and how I can support you whether it's through podcasting or sharing information. All of my social media and donation links are also in the shownotes.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I remember this advice from decade ago"If you want to become a storyteller, tell stories. If you want to become a better storyteller, tell more stories." But what's a good story? A good story starts here: you have a treasure trove of lived experience memories. Are they all worthy of blossoming into well-crafted meaningful stories captivating to your listeners? How will you know unless you begin?       The point is you have a brain, an imagination, and more than reasonable ability to begin transforming those lived experience memories into storytelling magic. Take a course. Get a coach. Invest in your desire to see what you are capable of creating. You can do all three with me. Email me for an no-obligation Discovery Chat!   Here's what I believe: When someone comes to me with a story they need to tell, they are bringing me something they've been processing, shaping, and trying to make sense of—possibly for decades. The story is already there. It has been there the whole time. My job—as witness, as story doula—is not to give you a story. It is to help you find the one you are already living.  Let's have a no-obligation Discovery Chat. Meanwhile, the very best use of your time might be spent as a spy to your life, as Don Murray wrote: "I am a spy to my life, maintaining an alertness to the commonplace, the ordinary, the routine where the really important stories appear. I am never bored. I overhear what is said and not said, delight in irony and contradiction, relish answers without questions and questions without answers, take note of what is and what should be, what was & may be. I imagine, speculate, make believe, remember, reflect. I am always traitor to the predictable, always welcoming to the unexpected....." [Don Murray, Pulitzer-prize winning American journalist & English professor]     Story Prompt: We read the work of others so that we can say, "Look here! We're not the only ones.” What memories and sensations came alive in you when you heard Don Murray's words? Write that story and share it out loud!    You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode  with a generous 5-star review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time!

Sanghadharin explores empathy as a trainable, imaginative faculty — distinct from pity — that grows through self-awareness, ethical practice and meditation. He looks at how empathy underpins spiritual friendship and the Brahma Viharas, and extends beyond people to the natural world.

In dieser Folge teile ich mit dir zwei Audiodrops, die während der Genius-Woche ganz spontan durch mich hindurch entstanden sind. Es sind keine vorbereiteten Teachings, sondern Erinnerungen – von meiner Seele an deine Seele. Wir tauchen gemeinsam ein in die Frage, wie Wunder und echte Veränderung nicht durch Druck oder Kontrolle entstehen, sondern durch Präsenz, Wahrhaftigkeit und die Bereitschaft, dem Leben neugierig zu begegnen. Diese Folge lädt dich dazu ein, deine bisherigen Vorstellungen von Manifestation, Spiritualität und persönlicher Entwicklung zu hinterfragen. Statt dich an Methoden festzuhalten, die sich für dich nicht stimmig anfühlen, geht es darum, deine eigene innere Autorität wiederzufinden und den Weg zu entdecken, der wirklich deinem Wesen entspricht. Gleichzeitig schauen wir auf die feinen Formen von Licht- und Schattenillusionen und darauf, warum Heilung immer mit einem ehrlichen Blick auf das beginnt, was gerade da ist. In dieser Folge spreche ich u. a. über: warum Spiritualität erst dann lebendig wird, wenn sie sich im Alltag verkörpert Zeitliniensprünge als gelebte Wunder statt als etwas, das wir erzwingen müssen weshalb Manifestation für jeden Menschen unterschiedlich funktioniert die Kraft einer neugierigen Haltung gegenüber dem Leben den Unterschied zwischen Imagination und Fantasie die Lichtspirale und die Schattenspirale als zwei Seiten derselben Illusion spirituelles Bypassing und warum Affirmationen manchmal von der Wahrheit wegführen Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, weniger gegen das Leben zu kämpfen und mehr mit ihm in Beziehung zu gehen. Nicht indem du versuchst, jemand anderes zu werden, sondern indem du dich erinnerst, wer du jenseits von Kontrolle, Angst und Fantasie bereits bist. Vielleicht beginnt genau dort das Wunder, auf das du schon so lange gewartet hast. Wenn du spürst, dass diese Zeit mehr von dir verlangt als nur noch besser zu funktionieren, dann möchte ich dich herzlich zu GENIUS einladen. In diesem kostenfreien Live-Event tauchen wir noch tiefer in die Energien der aktuellen Zeit ein und erforschen gemeinsam, was jetzt wirklich in dir gelebt werden möchte.

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When Vinney Tolman was 25 years old he took a supplement that got into his lungs and killed him in the bathroom of a Dairy Queen. The paramedics could not revive him. They pronounced him dead, filled out the paperwork, put him in a body bag, and zipped it up. Then a rookie medic on the crew broke protocol and got his heart started again. From the moment of pronounced death to the moment his heart came back was 47 minutes. He was brain dead for the next three days. And during those three days he was somewhere else entirely. ⠀ I have talked to a lot of people who have had near-death experiences and Vinney's stopped me. His guide over there turned out to be his own great-great grandfather, which he only figured out months later when he saw a photograph at a family reunion. He came back with 10 principles that he has been teaching for over 20 years and he has one of the clearest accounts of where our planet is heading that I have heard. We talk about all of it in this conversation. What actually happens when you die. Where our loved ones go and how they still interact with us. Do our pets have souls. The split that is happening on this earth right now. Why he says technology is coming for the place God should hold in us. If death has ever scared you, or if you have ever wondered whether the person you lost is still around you, sit with me and Vinney for this one.  

A drifting graveyard of ruined ships becomes a desperate hunting ground when a stranded couple realizes their only hope lies inside vessels no one ever escaped.

A ten-year study out of the University of Hertfordshire proved something that will change how you see your whole life. Lucky people and unlucky people were placed on the exact same pavement, in front of the exact same coffee shop, with the exact same five-pound note lying at their feet. The lucky ones picked it up and struck up conversations that changed the trajectory of their lives. The unlucky ones walked right over it and called the morning uneventful. Same money. Same street. Same four minutes. Two entirely different lives. Nothing about the world was different. Only the state of the person walking through it. ⠀ This activation installs the state the lucky ones were in. Nothing to remember, nothing to perform. You can be driving, walking, cooking, or sitting still. Your only work is to listen. By the end, something in you has quietly unclenched, and the version of you that has been walking past the good things for years has stepped aside. Before this day is finished, you will see something that was in front of you the entire time.   ⠀

Could the search for aliens actually tell us more about ourselves than life beyond Earth?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, Dan Sullivan and Mike Koenigs take on one of their most unusual conversations yet.Starting with a simple question - Do aliens exist? - the discussion quickly expands into science, human intelligence, Ai, consciousness, space exploration, and the remarkable abilities already found throughout nature.Drawing on NASA's Webb Telescope, SpaceX, psychology, philosophy, and emerging Ai research, Dan and Mike explore why humans are fascinated by extraterrestrial life and what that curiosity reveals about our own potential.Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, technology, science, or simply enjoy exploring big ideas, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on one of humanity's oldest questions.In this episode, Dan and I break down:Why Dan remains skeptical about extraterrestrial visitorsWhat NASA and the Webb Space Telescope have - and haven't - discoveredWhy people naturally search for something greater than themselvesThe surprising intelligence found in animals and natureHow Ai is helping us better understand human thinkingConsciousness, psychedelics, and the limits of current scienceWhy curiosity may be humanity's greatest competitive advantageThe future of robotics and space explorationDan and I may not have solved the mystery of extraterrestrial life, but the conversation raises a bigger question:How much intelligence already surrounds us that we have not learned to recognize?TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] The Capability Amplifier Alien Edition[00:02:09] Dan's answer on extraterrestrial life[00:03:31] What the Webb Telescope has revealed[00:05:16] Why people want advanced beings to exist[00:09:02] Mike's childhood fascination with aliens[00:14:06] A SpaceX perspective on the evidence[00:17:08] Imagination, belief, and the afterlife[00:19:26] Psychedelics and expanded consciousness[00:22:22] Intelligence in animals and nature[00:34:09] Ai and the expansion of human intelligence[00:40:36] Beliefs Dan has abandoned[00:47:43] Robots, space exploration, and future alienPS – When you're ready, here's how I can help: Want to find the hidden revenue in your business?

Two completely independent groups have been secretly mapping the same future. The first were the psychic spies — soldiers and civilians trained inside a classified US intelligence program at Stanford Research Institute and Fort Meade across more than twenty years, screened by rigorous protocols, working under sealed envelopes and coordinates. The second were the channels and mystics — Edgar Cayce, the Law of One material, the Hopi prophecy, the Pleiadian voices, Seth, Kryon, Bashar — reaching through trance and spirit across the same decades. Two streams that share almost nothing. Opposite methods. Opposite vocabularies. Both aimed at the years we now inhabit and drew the same detailed map. ⠀ This is one of the most important episodes I have ever produced. Inside I walk you through both streams in detail. The moment in 1979 when a soldier at Fort Meade wrote down the launch date of a Soviet submarine several months before it slid into the water. Stephen Schwartz's staggering forty-year project pooling four thousand independent viewer sessions on the years 2050 and 2060. Dean Radin's presentiment research showing the body braces for a shock seconds before the shock is randomly selected. Joseph McMoneagle's vision of the coming century. Then the channels — Cayce's fifth root race, the Ra material's harvest, the Hopi fifth world, the Pleiadian awakening. Where the two streams converge, the picture that emerges is startling. A rough passage through climate and system collapse. A retribalization into small clean-energy communities. An entirely new kind of human — more intuitive, more connected, waking on the other side of the storm. And the single most important thread running through every source. The future is probable rather than fixed. Every choice you make casts a vote for which version arrives. This episode is the full map, plus the practice for pulling the version you want back through time toward yourself right now.  

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this rare and in-depth interview, Max Spears - born in Great Britain and raised partly in the US - shares his claimed experiences as a “super soldier” involved in secret military and genetic programs.Max discusses Project Oak Tree (finding specific mothers for children born in the 1970s, linked to parallel programs sometimes called IBIS) and clarifies that many supposed alien abductions are actually military abductions (MILABs). False memories of ships or Mars are implanted while people are taken to underground bases (DUMBs).He describes vivid memories of traveling to Mars via “jump rooms,” including encounters involving a U.S. president figure, military personnel, a countdown screen (“30 seconds to Mars”), and being among groups of similarly built young men. He also recounts childhood training on Mars from ages 5–25 using age-regression technology that returned him to his original timeline with no conscious memory of the missing years. Jump-room locations in the Los Angeles area (Sepulveda Boulevard) are mentioned, along with connections to other whistleblowers.The conversation explores the difference between the Elohim (high-vibrational, long-lived angelic beings) and the Anunnaki (“people from the stars,” partially reptilian). Max examines ancient myths—Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and repeating solar cycles of birth, betrayal, and rebirth—linking them to modern symbolism, the Eye of Horus/One Eye motif, bloodlines, and the maintenance of duality on Earth. Topics include reptilian cast systems, opposing DNA lines (including long-term conflicts involving Aryan and certain Jewish lineages going back tens of thousands of years), Atlantis/Lemuria, Inner Earth (his claimed “Stonemight” origin and visits via Mount Shasta), the Moon as an artificial construct, cloning, age-regression technology, and multi-dimensional control (3D–5D).Further subjects covered: the illusion of free will and the “game” played by parasitic forces for the pleasures of the flesh; the ongoing war on the human heart; advice on death (“don't go to the light”); protection versus unity; implants; dissociative identities/alters; telekinesis and creator abilities that were allegedly hijacked; black magic and voodoo defenses; and the current window of opportunity to break a long time-loop that last collapsed around the fall of Atlantis 13,000 years ago.Max stresses that higher-frequency beings are incarnating now for a final choice between light and dark, warns of efforts to install a Baal/Lucifer figure, and encourages speaking openly, conferences, and wider media reach to activate encoded memories in others. He closes by thanking key supporters who helped him through trauma and mind-control-related challenges.A wide-ranging discussion of secret space programs, ancient bloodline wars, multi-dimensional realities, and the battle for human consciousness.

n Episode 293 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Albert Read's inspiring book The Imagination Muscle to explore why imagination isn't an inborn gift—it's a muscle that grows stronger with deliberate practice.Together they unpack how the world's greatest creators develop original ideas, why boredom may be one of your greatest creative assets, and how adopting a beginner's mindset can unlock fresh thinking. They also discuss practical exercises to strengthen your imagination, overcome fear, and make creativity part of your everyday life.If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or convinced that you're “just not creative,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective—and a practical roadmap—to help you think differently and create with greater confidence.Primary Website: https://www.moonshots.io/Book: The Imagination Muscle by Albert ReadBuy on Amazon: https://geni.us/TsrReYWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-bZ3cn7rCVw⸻Key Themes* Imagination is a skill that can be trained.* Great ideas come from combining diverse sources of inspiration.* Creativity flourishes when we deliberately make time for quiet thinking.* A beginner's mindset helps us escape routine and discover fresh perspectives.* Social media and constant stimulation can limit original thinking.* Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to creativity.* Small, consistent creative habits compound into lasting growth.⸻Concepts & BreakthroughsImagination Is a MuscleAlbert Read reframes creativity as a practice rather than a personality trait. Like physical fitness, imagination strengthens through regular use. Mike and Mark reflect on how this simple shift removes the pressure of waiting for inspiration and replaces it with consistent action.Collect Better InputsThe episode highlights that creative breakthroughs often result from unexpected combinations of ideas. Picasso, Aaron Sorkin and other creative masters all developed unique rituals for gathering inspiration before producing original work.Rather than searching for one brilliant idea, listeners are encouraged to become collectors—of books, conversations, observations and experiences—that can later combine into something entirely new.Protect Space for ThinkingModern life is filled with interruptions, notifications and endless streams of information. Albert argues that imagination needs space to breathe.Mike and Mark discuss creating intentional moments of quiet through walks, uninterrupted mornings, observation exercises and even scheduled boredom—allowing the mind to connect ideas naturally.The Power of the Beginner's MindExperts often become trapped by familiar thinking. Approaching problems with curiosity instead of certainty creates opportunities for innovation.Reading outside your normal interests, asking simple questions and deliberately seeking unfamiliar experiences all help develop fresh perspectives.Courage Before CreativityOne of the episode's strongest insights is that imagination grows alongside courage.Every sketch, poem, voice memo or imperfect idea strengthens resilience against fear of failure. Rather than waiting until ideas are perfect, creative confidence develops through repeated attempts and experimentation.⸻Habits, Tools & Mental Models* Treat imagination like a daily workout.* Collect ideas, quotes and observations in an idea bank.* Schedule periods without digital distractions.* Go for curiosity walks with the goal of noticing something new.* Read outside your usual genres and interests.* Combine two unrelated ideas to generate fresh thinking.* Use voice notes or journals to capture ideas immediately.* Practice one small creative act every day.* Embrace boredom instead of filling every quiet moment.* Ask beginner's questions, even when you think you know the answer.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area.  Today, Emily chats with Jonathon Keats — conceptual artist, experimental philosopher, and writer based in San Francisco. He has sold his thoughts, copyrighted his brain, choreographed a ballet for honeybees, and written six books. He contributes to Art in America, Popular Science, and Wired, and has exhibited at LACMA and Modernism Gallery SF. Jonathon discusses Centuries of the Bristlecone, an 11-foot-tall dual pendulum clock on permanent display at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. The clock, created in partnership with the Long Now Foundation, tells both atomic time and arboreal time — time as experienced by ancient bristlecone pine trees that can live up to 5,000 years. The project took over a decade to realize, with clockmakers Phil Abernathy and Brittany Cox. About Artist Jonathon Keats: Jonathon Keats is an artist, writer and experimental philosopher.

Before a single dollar has moved, your fortune already exists in the quantum field. Organized. Complete. Real in the invisible domain that underlies all physical reality. This meditation takes you there. You relax completely, fill the body with light, drop into the field, and find your fortune already waiting for you. You inhabit it as something already received. You feel the specific number that represents financial freedom for you and let the body receive that feeling all the way in. Then you seal it with the three sacred phrases the field responds to more than any other combination of words in the human language. I receive this. I am grateful. I am this. ⠀ People who do this meditation consistently see tangible changes in their outer world. Money moves. Opportunities appear that were invisible before. The right people show up at the right moment. Financial doors that had been closed simply open. This is what happens when a consciousness makes genuine contact with its own invisible fortune and carries that frequency forward into every conversation, decision, and financial encounter of the days that follow. The fortune is already there. This meditation is how you find it, feel it, and bring it into your physical life.  

The first Golden Dawn episode was history, philosophy, and the extraordinary story of how a small London order shaped almost everything we now call manifestation, reality creation, and consciousness work. This one is pure application. Eight complete techniques you can practice starting today, in your own bedroom, with nothing but your body, your breath, and your willingness to step into the current. No robes. No temple. No initiation required. Just the actual working system Israel Regardie broke a fifty-year oath of secrecy to publish in 1937, translated into a form you can begin using tonight. ⠀ Inside the episode I walk you through each technique step by step. The Kabbalistic Cross that establishes your identity as a creative center of consciousness in sixty seconds. The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram — the single most important daily practice in the Western magical tradition. The Middle Pillar exercise that activates five energy centers along your spine and charges your entire field with divine energy. The vibratory formula for speaking reality into existence. The consecration technique for turning any corner of your home into a consecrated space that grows stronger every time you enter it. The God Form Assumption that puts you directly inside the identity of your future self. The complete daily practice that ties it all together in twenty minutes. The Tattvic doorway for entering the elements at will. And the magical diary that every Golden Dawn student was required to keep. These are the techniques Damien Echols used to survive death row. These are the techniques Israel Regardie called the minimum foundation for initiating your own journey into the light.  

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis is a throwback episode to honor the amazing Carrie Olaje who has been super busy and can't wait to start podcasting again! I wanted to shine a light on her testimony (and first ever episode we did together) as it generated tens of thousands of views on my last YouTube channel before it was terminated and then was reuploaded to this channel. She is absolutely phenomenal. Lets revisit Carrie's first ever podcast and public disclosure..._________________________________This week you are going to meet someone who immediately caught my attention when she reached out - and after I got to know her - she also captured my heart! Introducing: mind control, ritual abuse, and human trafficking survivor, warrior, mother, wife, artist, creative gallery owner, muralist, tattoo studio owner, and literal walking miracle: Carrie Olaje!I met Carrie through a private message and my jaw immediately dropped on the floor after I read her words. No matter how long I've been doing these podcasts, I'm still constantly in shock and awe in learning about the things other people have experienced and Carrie's story was no exception. Born into a multi-generational incest-based family, Carrie's abuse started from birth and was perpetuated by family and close family friends. As she began remembering and recalling her memories as an adult, she realized her life was not what she thought it was and began putting the pieces together of a story that is both equally as horrific as it is inspiring. Because despite ALL the time, effort, and money spent to keep Carrie locked up in a life of control and obedience, they never anticipated Carrie would not only awaken to her abuse, but that she would put a stop to it and that it would end with her. Carrie now has a son of her own who is a big part of the ‘WHY' behind her decision to speak out and one day he will grow up to realize his amazing mother is a real life hero. This is how we change the world - one circuit-breaker at a time!One of the things I love most about Carrie - besides her infectious personality and laugh is her ability to break down hard ideas in ways that are as creative as she is! On today's show, you will get to experience some incredible visuals drawn by Carrie to help express parts of her life that are hard to put into words. I love adding visuals to podcasts and if you are listening from Itunes or Spotify, feel free to open up YouTube or Bitchute as well to view the art we will be discussing periodically on the show. Carrie will be going into details on her abuse on this episode, so I am going to add a *TRIGGER WARNING* to this episode in case anyone is sensitive to hearing or seeing graphic details. I'm so excited for you to meet and learn from Carrie and am so honored she is here with us this week!And just a reminder that if you are a survivor or whistleblower who wants to share your information or story on this podcast, you can now email me at IMAGINEABETTERWORLD2020@GMAIL.COM!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. What happens when we women focus on self-definition? Maybe like me you come closer to your wisdom and insight. The insight—the thing you have actually come to this earth to say—doesn't look like a loud announcement. It looks like self-definition.  It's the moment you stop asking for permission to occupy your own life. It's the wisdom that says: My perspective matters, my creativity is not a luxury, and my voice does not need to be softened to be acceptable. When you look at your life through that lens, you aren't just narrating a sequence of events anymore. You are claiming your own narrative. You are meaning what you say, perhaps for the very first time. Focusing on the internal feeling of self-definition is the courage to sit with yourself until the surface noise fades, and the truth of who you are finally whispers to you So today, don't just live the plot of your life. Lean into the wisdom of it. Story Prompt: Recall a time when you said what you actually meant and let yourself be known. What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode  with a generous 5-star review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time!

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Mark Vernon and Professor Peter Hawkins. This discussion is part of a series that Peter will be doing with some of the major thinkers and writers of our time, focusing on the necessary evolution of human consciousness, for humans to be future-fit to live on this planet in a way that makes a net-positive contribution to the wider ecology. The series is being done jointly with: The Weekend University and the Renewal Foundation. Dr. Vernon is a writer and psychotherapist whose work explores figures including William Blake, Dante, and Owen Barfield, making their insights accessible to contemporary readers seeking deeper understanding of consciousness and meaning. His recent book “Awake” examines how poetic imagination can reconnect us with dimensions of reality that modern culture has obscured. Peter is Emeritus Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, founder of the Academy of Executive Coaching, and a leading authority on systemic leadership, coaching, and organizational transformation. His work integrates insights from psychology, systems thinking, ecology, and philosophy to help leaders navigate an increasingly complex world. His most recent book was: Beauty in Leadership and Coaching, which was published by Routeledge in 2025. In this conversation, they explore: — Why imagination is not just private fantasy, but a way of engaging with a deeper reality — How Owen Barfield's study of language reveals the evolution of human awareness across centuries — The distinction between original participation, separation, and final participation in the development of consciousness — Why addiction can be understood as a spiritual crisis rooted in misunderstanding what truly satisfies — How transforming human desire may help address the ecological and social challenges of our time — The difference between becoming "someone" and becoming "no one" in the spiritual journey And more.

Send us Fan MailI sincerely hope that you are enjoying the episodes that make up the Hall of Imagination. A wax museum is a wonderful metaphor. During the day, the figures are silent exhibits. At night, they become people again. That gives me tremendous freedom to let them explain themselves, argue, laugh, and even admit uncertainty—all while hopefully making it clear to my audience that they're listening to a dramatization grounded in history.After I had finished talking with the inventor of paper in the previous episode, I came face-to-face with a wax figure of a man who is often called the inventor of printing–JOHANN GUTENBERG–not surprisingly, my first remark was you must be the inventor of printing–I have spoken with an individual who is often said to be the inventor of paper– But, from what I understand you are the inventor of the movable press.Guttenberg: That is only partially true. One must note that I developed the first method of using movable type and the printing press in such a way that a great deal of written material could be printed with speed and accuracy. Compare this to the scribe or monk– However well intentioned–could not transcribe written communication at the speed of a machine– And that machine was the printing press–a machine that used movable type. And although there was a form of movable type used in China and Korea, it never came into general use until relatively recent times.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

In this episode, we investigate whether this masterpiece mocks the brutal deaths of many innocent men or if the painting's beauty justifies the romanticism of death. Our group will discuss the story, explain the artist's choices, and debate the ethicality based on research we did ourselves. We hope that we can spark your interest in the beauty found in the terror of this story. Come join us for a conversation full of thoughts, comments, and questions answered."Great Lakes Instrumental" by staticinverona (Free Music Archive)

There is one specific faculty inside the human nervous system that determines whether your manifestation work succeeds or fails. It was the central training of every serious mystical school of the ancient, medieval, and early modern world. It was assembled in the early twentieth century into a precise operational method by Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, Charles Hannell, William Walker Atkinson, and a small number of teachers whose work shaped the entire field of conscious creation, manifestation, and depth psychology that followed. Then the training was forgotten. The teaching materials went out of print. The method was handed down privately to a small isolated group of practitioners while the broader culture moved on to faster, easier, more marketable substitutions that never delivered the result the original training was designed to produce. ⠀ This is that training, restored. Over the next fifty-two minutes I walk you through the faculty itself, why almost no one in the modern world has ever developed it, what becomes available to those who do, and the eight operations that comprise the actual method. Five practical exercises are embedded directly into the episode so you can begin developing the faculty before it ends. By the last exercise, you will have made your first contact with the recognition every authentic contemplative tradition on the planet has been pointing toward for three thousand years. If your visualization has been dissolving into a vague mental smudge, if your meditation practice keeps failing after 90 seconds, if your manifestations have been arriving unreliably or not at all, this episode names the missing piece and delivers the training that fixes it. The path is simple. The results are documented. What has always been required is the willingness to sit down and do the work.

On Your World of Creativity, we travel the world talking with creative practitioners about how they get inspired, organize ideas, and turn imagination into impact.Today's guest believes that imagination isn't just a creative skill—it's infrastructure.Adelia Schleusz has built a career at the intersection of commercial interior design, behavioral psychology, sensory design, research, and strategic foresight. As the founder of What If LAB, she helps organizations use creativity, science, and cross-disciplinary thinking to design better experiences, better environments, and perhaps even better futures.Adelia 's Website@adeliapcs on InstagramConnect on LInkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/adelia-c-schleusz-rid-ncidq-iida-195b116/If you've ever wondered how curiosity becomes innovation—or how asking "What if?" can transform the way we work, create, and collaborate—this conversation is for you.Guest BioAdelia C. Schleusz is the Founder of What If LAB, LLC, a creative consultancy operating at the intersection of interior environments, human experiences, strategy, and science.A licensed and registered interior designer, Adelia has spent her career exploring how creativity, behavioral psychology, research, and sensory design can work together to shape meaningful experiences. Her work has earned numerous industry honors, including the prestigious Interior Design 2023 HiP Award, recognizing the most innovative people in commercial design.Adelia is a public speaker, SXSW workshop facilitator, and recipient of the IIDA 2025 Kimball International Makers of a Better Future Fund Award. Through What If LAB, she helps organizations cultivate curiosity, challenge assumptions, and design solutions that bridge imagination and practical impact.Her philosophy is simple: stay curious, ask better questions, and never stop exploring the possibilities hidden inside "What if?"1: Imagination as InfrastructureOne phrase that immediately caught my attention is your description of using "imagination as infrastructure."Many people think of imagination as something abstract or artistic, but you see it as foundational to innovation and problem-solving.What does "imagination as infrastructure" mean to you, and how has that philosophy shaped your career journey from interior design into strategy, research, and future-focused thinking?Are organizations doing enough to nurture imagination—or are they unintentionally designing it out of the workplace?2: The Soul of Your BrandWhen I look at What If LAB, I don't see an interior design firm. I see a curiosity engine. A place where diverse disciplines collide to create new possibilities.How has your mission evolved as you've gained experience working across industries and disciplines?3: Designing for Human ExperienceYou've worked extensively in commercial interiors, behavioral psychology, sensory design, and research. Many people think design is about aesthetics. But your work suggests it's really about human behavior and experience.What have you learned about how environments influence the way people think, collaborate, create, and even feel?What are some simple design principles listeners could apply in their own workspaces or creative environments?Have you seen examples where changing a space transformed the outcomes of a team or organization?4: The Power of Cross-Disciplinary ThinkingA recurring theme on this podcast is that creativity often happens at the intersection of disciplines. You've intentionally built a career that connects design, psychology, research, science, business strategy, and innovation.Why do breakthroughs so often emerge when we bring together people with different perspectives, and how can leaders create environments where that kind of collaboration thrives?5: Living in the "What If?"In a world increasingly focused on efficiency, certainty, and immediate results, curiosity can sometimes feel like a luxury. If listeners wanted to strengthen their own curiosity muscle this week, what's one question they should begin asking themselves?If you enjoyed today's conversation, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.

The exact hour and minute of Cullen Baird Smith's birthday, a shortwave radio in his home turned itselThe exact hour and minute of Cullen Baird Smith's birthday, a shortwave radio in his home turned itself on with no one near it. Turned itself back on the next morning at the exact same time. Turned itself back on the morning after that. They unplugged it. They moved it. It still turned itself on at that same minute every day. After a month of this, Pia Orleane and Cullen finally stood in front of the radio and asked. A telepathic voice answered. We are Larkma. We are one of six and six of one. We are here to help humanity evolve. And thirty years of what has followed has produced the Wisdom from the Stars trilogy, the award-winning Pleiadian Earth Energy Astrology, and the teaching that reframes almost everything. ⠀ Larkma tells us the age of darkness we have been living inside just ended. The Kali Yuga completed on the spring equinox of March 2025. We are now inside a purification process, and the Great Split has already begun — those who choose to evolve at higher and higher frequency, and those who stay attached to the collapsing system. In this conversation, Pia and Cullen share the origin story, the nature of what they call synchronization instead of channeling, what Larkma's world is actually like, why there are no past lives — only parallel ones — the three levels of dreams, why Atlantis fell through the misuse of crystals, and why every artificial intelligence system on the planet is being built on the same technological arc that ended Atlantis. Then in the middle of the interview, Pia and Cullen join hands and Larkma comes through directly for a community Q&A on future self integration, the energy of thirteen, the water bowl practice, ancestral trauma, crystal consciousness, money, healing, and the exact steps we can take to prepare for what is coming. Pia and Cullen will be featured teachers at my Sedona event this November.

Text your thoughts and questions!We often think rest is something we earn after we've worked hard enough. We push through exhaustion, tell ourselves we'll slow down later, and believe that getting more done is the key to feeling better. But what if we've been thinking about rest all wrong?This week, in episode 323 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play, keynote speaker, certified coach, and bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. As part of our summer series on energy, stress, and nervous system regulation, this timely re-release explores why rest is essential—not as a reward for productivity, but as the foundation that makes sustainable productivity possible.Gary Ware is the founder of Breakthrough Play, a keynote speaker, certified coach, and the bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. Through applied improvisation, positive psychology, and the science of play, Gary helps individuals and organizations reduce stress, strengthen communication, spark creativity, and build more sustainable ways of working. His mission is to help people challenge the belief that productivity requires constant hustle and instead embrace play and rest as powerful tools for greater impact, innovation, and well-being.In this conversation, Gary introduces three distinct types of rest—macro, micro, and meso—and explains how each one helps reduce stress, restore creativity, and support your energy in different ways. He also shares why play isn't childish, why entrepreneurs often resist rest the most, and how small shifts can dramatically improve your focus, well-being, and impact.Key Takeaways:Rest isn't something you earn. It's something that allows you to do your best work.Chronic stress keeps your brain in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reducing creativity, empathy, and clear thinking.Better sleep isn't always about getting more hours. Improving the quality of your sleep can make a significant difference.A consistent wind-down routine helps your body transition into restorative sleep.Macro rest focuses on deep restoration through quality sleep and recovery.Micro rest consists of short five-minute breaks throughout the day that help reset your brain and restore energy between tasks.Scrolling social media or checking email isn't true rest. Choose activities that genuinely recharge you instead.Meso rest means intentionally stepping away from work for several hours, a day, or longer to pursue hobbies, family time, or activities that bring joy.Hobbies aren't a luxury—they help your brain make creative connections and improve problem-solving.Play looks different for everyone. The goal isn't to do what others find fun, but to discover what genuinely restores and energizes you.Sustainable productivity begins with honoring your energy, not constantly pushing through exhaustion.Rest isn't the opposite of productivity—it's what makes productivity sustainable. When you give yourself permission to rest before you're completely depleted, you create space for greater creativity, better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work. What would change if you stopped trying to earn your rest and started treating it as one of your greatest strengths?Thank you for listening!

When professional child actor Suki Hillier landed the title role in "Matilda The Musical," she thought she would have to learn how to become someone else. Instead, she realized she had known the role since she was three, when she playfully tried to move objects with her mind the way Matilda does. In this joyful talk, she reveals the similarities between the stage and life — because imagination isn't about escaping the world. It's a way of building one. Hosted on Acast.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show once again: Masonic Ritual Abuse Victim, Survivor and now Whistleblower for the first time, intuitive empath, entrepreneur, public speaker and improv comedian, biofeedback facilitator and educator, clean farming and nature lover, podcast regular, and an incredible hero coming forward to advocate for whistleblower and survivor protection and safety and to do everything in her power to facilitate the change she wishes to see in the world: Allison AdamsA little bit about Allison in case you're new here, missed her riveting first three episodes, or need a little recap:Long before tragedy sought her out, Allison had already walked a remarkable path. Diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy as a child, she refused to be defined by her condition. For 45 years, she mastered it with unwavering sovereignty - through disciplined choices in food, restorative sleep, mindfulness, and inner strength. What began as medicine became her superpower: a daily practice of awareness and control that kept her vibrant, connected, and free. Her days overflowed with simple, genuine joys—gym friendships, hikes through the woods, lunch dates, and the deep sharing that comes from real human connection. An outsider by choice and circumstance, she moved through life with openness and trust.But that trust was brutally weaponized. She befriended a woman at the gym, never imagining the warmth and stories shared during miles and miles of hikes would become the very tools used to target her. For two years, a sophisticated network stalked and groomed her, using personal details against her. In April 2020, on the patio of an acquaintance—a James Beard-nominated chef named Marty connected to that network—Allison was drugged with at least four substances. She lost 10 harrowing hours to ritualistic horror: violation, strangulation, hazing, and terror orchestrated by an organized collective. Yet here is where her light refused to be extinguished.Even in that drugged state, her decades of biofeedback training awakened. While her body appeared unconscious, her mind remained hyperaware—an observer in the storm. In the months and years that followed, she patiently gathered fragments, clues, memories, and inner knowing. Piece by piece, she reconstructed her truth. The same mastery that once tamed epilepsy now became her anchor in survival and healing. She refused to let trauma erase her. Instead, she transformed it into purpose.Allison was not born into a multi-generational cult or ritual abuse family. She was a regular woman - lured, hunted, and caught. Her story reveals how insidious and organized the darkness can be, and how anyone can become a target when trust is exploited by those who operate in shadows.Watching brave whistleblowers step forward only to face targeting, financial desperation, illness, and silencing ignited a righteous fire within her. She realized that true disclosure is not just dramatic testimony—it is everyday survivors like her speaking out, and it demands community protection. There is no witness protection for these crimes. Society often blames victims, dismisses their stories as “too outrageous,” or looks away because the darkness is uncomfortable. Allison chose the opposite.She knows the risks. She has watched others silenced. She remains in danger, still living in the town where the attack occurred, still navigating ongoing targeting and constant vigilance. Yet she will not be deterred. Her voice rises not just for herself, but powerfully for the children—the ones drugged with memory-erasing substances who have no reference point, no adult resilience, no framework to understand the violation. That fierce compassion, that maternal fire for the innocent, reveals the depth of her true character.Her legacy is not one of victimhood. It is one of triumphant, unbreakable light. She is living proof that the human spirit, when anchored in sovereignty and transformed by unimaginable darkness, becomes a flame that no evil can extinguish—and a call to action that echoes through the ages. Stand with her. Learn from her. Be inspired by her. The light she carries is ours to carry forward.

This may be the most important activation I have ever created. It is not a meditation. It is a full eyes-open trance activation, delivered directly into your system through the technology of sound and trained attention. You walk. You stand. You listen. Your eyes stay open. Your awareness stays sharp. And through the entire forty minutes, I speak a series of reality codes directly into the deep architecture of who you are, and your system receives every one of them in the open, with your full awareness riding alongside.   Every possibility that could ever exist already exists, complete and finished, encoded into the quantum field. Every version of you. Every reality you could live. Every healing, every fortune, every gift, every power. All of it folded into the light around you right now, held as a pattern, waiting for the reach that calls it forward. Over the next forty minutes we reach for six of them — the code of human greatness at its peak, the code of your perfect body, the geometry of wealth, the master builder, the perfect leader, and the luminous mind. Then we return down your timeline and rewrite the original wound. Then a descending column of geometry installs through your crown. Then, finally, the master key itself — the permanent ability to reach into the field and download the code of anyone, anywhere, in any reality you ever face. Listen once carefully. Return to this as often as your system calls for it.  

So I got this comment on my last video about Brittany — the one where she made $50,000 in 30 days off five DMs selling a $10,000 offer. ”Nobody's paying you $10,000 for that. I'm calling total BS on this one.” ...If you say so. Here's the thing — this comment isn't dumb. It's actually really common. And it comes from a broke belief that's keeping a lot of you stuck right where you are. So let's talk about it — because he's not wrong that it sounds crazy. He's wrong about why.
