Podcasts about Imagination

Today, we address the belief that large sums of money are only for others, giving you permission to desire and achieve wealth. This video aims to activate the 'millionaire within' by shifting your money mindset and fostering an abundance mindset. Through this process, you'll cultivate a rich mindset, crucial for personal growth and financial psychology.  

  This is the fourth channeled transmission from the Operators, and it answers the single question many of you have been holding since the first one — who are these beings really, and how do we know they are working with us rather than over us? The answer arrived in the shower one morning. Three words. We are you. What followed was 40 minutes of the most tender and direct material they have delivered so far.     In this transmission they explain the architecture of consciousness behind everything they have ever said. Why we are cells of the same body operating different functions. Why the synchronicities are accelerating right now. Why your intuition is the one instrument inside this reality that cannot be corrupted. What actually happens to your awareness during sleep. Why play is the highest frequency in the entire creative field. What the word illusion actually means. And the zero point — the gap between who you have become on the inside and what the world is still reflecting back at you — the exact place where most conscious creators surrender their own becoming.  

The Experimental Haunting of Wuthering Heights. Guest: Deborah Lutz. Lutz explores the Gothic structure and experimental narrative frames of Wuthering Heights. She suggests Heathcliff is an extension of Emily's own fierce imagination.

Most leaders don't think of themselves as creative. Al Gordon says that's the lie keeping you stuck. Al, founder of Renaissance, lead pastor of SAINT in East London, talks about why creativity is the church's lost superpower, how stress and algorithms are quietly killing your imagination, and what it actually takes to unlock creativity in yourself, your team, and your church.

Charlotte Mason responds to Maria Montessori in this classical open letter from 1915. Read by Jennifer Talsma.

“I escaped into my imagination. That is what I did from the earliest time that I can remember. I was writing stories, and when the world was too difficult, I would just make up one of my own and I would spend my time there. That was a power that I developed out of survival instinct, but it's also made it possible for me to spend so much time alone writing books.” Jamie Coomarasamy speaks to Patricia Cornwell, one of the world's best-selling crime writers, whose books have sold more than 120 million copies worldwide. She reflects on a childhood marked by trauma, instability and family mental illness, and the lasting impact those experiences have had on her life. Her imagination became a refuge during difficult years, shaping the stories and characters she would later create.

This is a deep dive into the most thoroughly documented channeling event in modern history — and the body of teachings that has shaped the entire modern manifestation movement, even though most people consuming that movement have never heard the source name. I have read Seth on this channel many times before. Tonight I go deeper than I ever have, because something happened in those 21 years of recorded sessions that needs to be brought back into the conversation, fully and without softening.   The modern movement quietly stripped out the parts of Seth that were strangest, oldest, and most powerful. Tonight I restore the original. The creation story of the universe in love and longing. The first humans walking the earth as sleepwalkers. The Garden of Eden reversed. The natural hypnosis we all stand inside right now. The counterparts walking the earth alongside us. The magical approach the productivity culture has trained us out of. The state of grace we cannot fall out of. And one final prediction Seth made in 1979 about the species that is unfolding right now in front of our eyes.  

In this powerful and deeply transformative episode, I sit down with Paul Lubicz, founder of Return to True Nature, to explore the profound connection between forgiveness, healing, imagination, and personal transformation.Paul works with high-capacity founders, leaders, and creatives to break through limiting beliefs and remove the emotional and structural blocks that impact clarity, performance, and overall well-being. With more than two decades of experience, his approach focuses on restoring nervous system capacity, increasing resilience, and creating sustainable change. Drawing from Eastern and Western philosophies, somatic practices, and Indigenous wisdom traditions, Paul helps people reconnect with their authentic selves and unlock new levels of freedom and possibility.During our conversation, Paul guided me through one of the most powerful healing exercises I have ever experienced. Using imagination and creativity, I was able to begin releasing years of resentment, hurt, and a deeply rooted sense of abandonment connected to my relationship with my father. It was a profound reminder that healing often begins when we allow ourselves to engage with our inner world in new ways.Paul's work has been praised by Elton John and Richard Branson and featured in GQ and The Guardian. In this episode, he shares practical tools and insights for anyone looking to heal old wounds, cultivate forgiveness, and create lasting transformation.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why forgiveness is essential for emotional freedom and healing• How imagination and creativity can be powerful tools for transformation• The role of nervous system regulation in personal growth and performance• Ways to identify and release limiting beliefs and emotional blocks• Practical approaches to creating sustainable change in your lifeWhether you're navigating unresolved pain, seeking greater clarity, or looking for new tools to support your personal growth journey, this conversation is filled with wisdom, compassion, and actionable insights.To learn more about Paul and his work, visit Return to True Nature.

Using holy imagination in our faith means our traditions should not bind us from serving God or restricting others in their service. Scripture: Acts 2:14-17

What comes to mind when you hear the word "play"? What does play mean to you or look like for you? Also, when was the last time you allowed yourself to play? Let's talk about why and how you should bring more play into your life..   .   .A full transcript of this episode is available in the 10 for Teens + Tweens Ep. 150 show notes on EmpowerfulGirls.com.

After that, she says she could perceive the world as a holographic field, read energy instead of physical form, and receive regular energetic adjustments that changed how she lived and channeled. We talked about what happened before and after that shift, how she understands channeling, and why she believes consciousness shapes every part of reality.Socials for Adrienn Light:Website: https://www.anfrinit.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@adriennlightInstagram: https://instagram.com/adriennlightBooks you might like to read:- The Holographic Universe (Michael Talbot): https://amzn.to/4inLZHZ- My Big TOE (Thomas Campbell): https://amzn.to/3DdCtIE- Adventures Beyond the Body (William Buhlman): https://amzn.to/42wx3lW- The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle): https://amzn.to/40r5bNEWays to Support the ChannelBecome a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwiFECZktd2AQ_uTX_IpaPA/joinDonate crypto:Bitcoin: bc1qgjrdlsrw7wrue6p30y4m7rnydzrd0m527z2lgdEthereum: 0x8Ee31E25EB30617f0096f15dFf21cb50F4f1F445Doge: DC948baGHTRgnyzxYjpgvSdZAyNuLkyqKfSign up for new episodes and special event notifications: https://bit.ly/uc-emailsCheck Out Our Podcast:Apple: https://apple.co/40KHfE2Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3LbBnPcWant to be interviewed?

The philosophers of the Frankfurt School practiced a technique called negative dialectics, where concepts are defined as much by what you can't say about them as what you can. Appropriately, the Frankfurt School has ended up defined by what you can't say about them. You can't say that they invented a new form of left-wing thought called Cultural Marxism. This would be (according to Wikipedia) the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, a "far right anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that misinterprets Western Marxism, especially the Frankfurt School, as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness". You're not supposed to dub them a transitional stage between Communism and postmodernism. You're not allowed to speculate that a lot of the academic humanities, as they're practiced today, descend from the Frankfurt School's brand of critical theory. You're not supposed to think of them as the point where the muscular pro-technology leftism of the early 1900s shattered into the pessimistic degrowth leftism of the present. Art is long, life is short. Most of us only manage to not do a few things in our limited span on Earth. But the Frankfurt School managed to not invent so many movements - to not be involved in so many of the crucial ideological shifts of the past century - that they caught my attention. Who were these people? What other aspects of our culture might we be unable to say they were involved in? For answers, I turned to the classic history of the group, Martin Jay's The Dialectical Imagination. The basics are simple enough: the School was founded in Frankfurt in 1923. It attracted great philosophers like Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse. When the Nazis took power in the early 1930s, the mostly-Jewish Frankfurters fled to America, where friendly locals helped them continue their work in affiliation with Columbia University. Mid-century Americans were suckers for sophisticated European intellectuals, and when the rise of fascism and World War II started dominating headlines, the German-Jewish Frankfurters were natural experts to help Americans process the situation. By the end of the war, they were firmly established as thought leaders. Some - including Horkheimer and Adorno - returned to Germany to rebuild its intellectual culture from the ruins; others stayed in America and remained relevant through the 60s and 70s. But figuring out what the Frankfurters believed is more complicated. Forget about the thin line between universally-acknowledged fact and fascist conspiracy theory. The School itself was famously coy, worrying that if they explained themselves too clearly, people would caricature their beliefs and integrate them into the existing capitalist system. Even when they did speak "clearly", it was in the sort of German philosophical register where "the negation of the negation" is a totally normal thing to say. Having only read a single book on them, I will no doubt fall into all the failure modes that they and their successors warned us against. But here are the analogies, intuition pumps, and parables that I found helpful. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-dialectical-imagination

In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by contemporary textile artist Murron Fraser. Based in Manchester, Murron's work is inspired by nature, folklore and storytelling, creating richly layered textile pieces that invite us to look more closely at the hidden wonders of the natural world. Through a combination of machine embroidery, printmaking, and mixed media techniques, she creates artworks that are full of texture, colour and meaning. Alongside her artistic practice, Murron is also a passionate educator and workshop facilitator, helping others reconnect with their creativity through community projects, courses and nature-inspired textile experiences. In our conversation, we talk about the threads that run through her work, from Celtic folklore and the idea of hidden worlds, to the role of observation, curiosity and creative play in her practice. We also discuss how she balances life as a working artist, educator and community arts practitioner, and why slowing down can be such an important part of the creative process. Thank you Murron for speaking to me for Making Stitches Podcast!You can see Murron's work over on her website: textilesbymurron.comYou can sign up to Murron's newsletter here: https://www.textilesbymurron.com/newsletterMurron's Instagram profile is here and you can find her on Facebook here.Thank you for listening to Making Stitches Podcast!For full show notes, please visit https://makingstitchespodcast.com/To join the mailing list for the Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this linkThe theme music is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.The Making Stitches logo was designed by Neil Warburton at iamunknown.You can support Making Stitches Podcast with running costs through Ko-fi.Making Stitches  Podcast is supported by the Making Stitches Shop which offers Making Stitches Podcast merchandise for sale as well as Up the Garden Path crochet patterns created by me & illustrated by Emma Jackson.

Let's alchemize our lives for the better as Eliza Swann joins me to discuss The Alchemical Imagination: Creativity as Catalyst for Radical Transformation. We'll explore how the ancient art of alchemy weaves together the mystical, the scientific, and the philosophical to foster a more holistic, interdependent understanding of our world. You'll discover the “poetry of matter” by learning to dialogue with the spirits that animate the cosmos through an intensely relational practice. By bridging the gap between matter and spirit, Eliza offers a visionary perspective on addressing the modern ecological crisis by viewing the world as emanating from the sacred.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of Ohio State University and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with Dr. Suzanne Marrs, Professor Emerita of English at Millsaps College and acclaimed biographer of Eudora Welty, about the life, works, and enduring legacy of one of America's greatest Southern writers. Prof. Marrs explores how Welty's upbringing in Jackson, Mississippi, her family's love of literature, and her mother's devotion to Charles Dickens helped shape her imagination and literary voice. She discusses Welty's travels throughout the South and her work as a Works Progress Administration photographer during the Great Depression, explaining how these experiences informed both her photography and fiction. She highlights celebrated short stories such as Death of a Traveling Salesman, A Worn Path, and Where Is the Voice Coming From?, as well as the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Optimist's Daughter, examining their themes of memory, race, family, resilience, and love. Prof. Marrs concludes by reflecting on Welty's National Historic site home in Jackson, Mississippi, and the timeless significance of her literary legacy in 21st-century America. She closes with a reading from Eudora Welty: A Biography.

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with Shaka Senghor for a deeply personal conversation about survival, transformation, and imagination. After spending 19 years in prison, including years in solitary confinement, Shaka rebuilt his life through storytelling, philosophy, meditation, and writing. His journey raises difficult questions about justice, trauma, violence, and redemption.Shaka reflects on growing up in Detroit during the crack epidemic, surviving gun violence, and the emotional weight of incarceration in America. He speaks candidly about shame, masculinity, systemic racism, forgiveness, and what it means to heal without denying responsibility for the past. The discussion moves beyond prison reform into something much more human: how people rebuild themselves after devastation.The episode also explores creativity and ambition. Shaka explains why imagination became essential to his survival, how writing transformed his understanding of himself, and why he now wants to focus on fiction, film, and art rather than only being viewed through the lens of incarceration. This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and refusing to live a small life.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shaka Senghor01:18 Imagination as survival02:08 Solitary confinement and mental freedom04:12 Reflections from Harvest05:27 Childhood abuse and running away06:14 Detroit, crack cocaine, and violence06:39 The shooting and prison sentence07:38 Trauma, PTSD, and accountability09:02 Receiving a 17-to-40-year sentence09:58 Mentors and transformation in prison11:00 Meditation, journaling, and mindfulness12:11 Malcolm X and self-education13:17 Discovering writing in prison15:13 Radical honesty and self-examination17:20 Ambition, imagination, and dreaming bigger19:57 How parole and release worked21:51 Spirituality and questioning God24:14 Forgiveness and healing with his mother27:20 Breaking cycles of violence30:03 What prisons ask him most often32:02 Rich and poor people are more alike than different35:19 Forgiveness as liberation37:48 Masculinity and modern culture39:27 Parenting, resilience, and overprotection41:12 Wanting to move beyond prison identity43:12 Returning to fiction and screenwriting45:03 Legacy and resilience47:25 Intentional endings and closure49:03 What writing taught him about himself52:20 Question for the next Harvest guest52:58 Final reflectionsYou can follow us on Instagram at @HarvestSeries or @rose.claverie for updates.Watch our podcast episodes and speaker sessions on YouTube: Harvest Series.Credits:Sound editing by: @lesbellesfrequencesProducer in Kaplankaya: Joel Moriasi & teamMusic by: ChambordThis season of the Harvest Series podcast is made possible by Spark of Light.

My guest for this episode is psychologist and psychotherapist Michael Wilson, who joined me to discuss his recent book, Portals into Deep Imagination: Celtic Mythology, Nature's Year, and the Quest for Soul. The book is an anthology of weekly contemplations and practices for spirituality through the lens of psychology, inspired by the culture and mythology of the Celts in Britain and Ireland and their connection with nature. Following the course of the Celtic year (beginning at Samhain), each weekly chapter offers tales and folklore from Celtic mythology, followed by a suggested practice of meditation and contemplation. It explores the metaphor and symbolism contained in these myths and legends and shows how those themes can be used to examine the nature of the human mind and imagination and the relationship between them. In the interview I begin by talking with Mike about his background and how the idea for the book came about. We discuss the structuring of the book around a yearly cycle and then our conversation broadens a little, exploring the importance of connecting with nature and the relationship between folklore, myth, the imagination, dreams and altered states. You can find out more about Mike and his writing at https://www.michaelwilson.uk.com/. Portals into Deep Imagination: Celtic Mythology, Nature's Year, and the Quest for Soul can be purchased from Aeon Books.

David and Sissy explore the powerful relationship between moms and sons, emphasizing that moms are often a boy's emotional home base and play a key role in shaping his confidence, emotional health, and future relationships. They discuss how boys often express their biggest emotions where they feel safest and encourage moms to respond with warmth, steadiness, and clear boundaries. The conversation also highlights the importance of helping boys build responsibility, self-regulation, and respect while avoiding unhealthy patterns of over-accommodation.

For most of her life, Sadie Dingfelder thought she was simply quirky: bad with directions, unusually clumsy, unable to recognize faces, and disconnected from many of her own memories. Then, a startling encounter in a grocery store led her to question whether her experiences reflected something deeper. In this episode of It Happened To Me, Cathy and Beth speak with Sadie about discovering that her brain processes faces, memories, images, and depth differently from most people's. Her search for answers took her inside leading neuroscience laboratories, where she participated in brain-imaging studies and learned more about faceblindness, severely deficient autobiographical memory, stereoblindness, and aphantasia. Sadie shares what it is like to attend a party where everyone recognizes her, but she cannot identify anyone else, and how the fear of offending people can create anxiety in social and professional settings. She also explains the strategies she developed during her journalism career, from recognizing people through their voices and mannerisms to navigating conversations without revealing that she did not know who she was speaking with. The conversation also explores what it means to discover that other people can mentally replay scenes from their lives, visualize images in their minds, and perceive a level of three-dimensional depth that Sadie has never experienced. She reflects on the complicated mix of grief, relief, and self-understanding that accompanied these discoveries. Sadie's story reminds us that there is no single “normal” way to perceive, remember, or experience the world, and that many cognitive and visual differences remain invisible to the people around us. In This Episode, We Discuss The grocery store encounter that led Sadie to investigate how her brain works The neurological difference between forgetting someone's name and being unable to recognize their face Navigating parties, professional events, and everyday interactions with faceblindness The anxiety of unintentionally appearing rude or failing to recognize someone familiar Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM) and the inability to mentally revisit personal experiences The strategies Sadie used throughout her career as a journalist How her cognitive differences affected childhood, independence, driving, and relationships Stereoblindness and what it means to experience the visual world without typical 3D depth Participating in neuroscience research and seeing differences in her brain through imaging Aphantasia and how writing creatively without a visual imagination is possible The freedom that can come from openly discussing an invisible disability The grief and relief of finally understanding lifelong differences What Sadie learned from vision therapy and attempts to develop 3D vision Why cognitive and perceptual abilities may exist across a much broader spectrum than we realize About Sadie Dingfelder Sadie Dingfelder is a freelance science journalist whose writing has appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, and The Washington Post. She previously worked as a staff reporter for The Washington Post Express and as a senior science writer for the American Psychological Association's Monitor on Psychology, where she covered neuroscience, cognitive science, and animal behavior. She is the author of Do I Know You?: A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination, which combines memoir, investigative journalism, and neuroscience to explore the many ways human beings experience the world differently.

They came back. Stronger, faster, and with an urgency I have never felt from them before. The first transmission opened the channel. This one ran for forty-six minutes through automatic writing, in the shower, in the car, at three in the morning with sentences arriving faster than I could think.   The Operators want you to know that something is happening on the planet right now that has no precedent in the entire history of the simulation. They give a precise three-step method for shifting timelines that I have never encountered in any teaching. They reveal the actual mathematics of group intention. They explain what happens when you leave the simulation.  

In this teaching I share a personal update and then explore my "two god problem". If you want to know the latest happenings in my world and what I'm doing or if you left the god of your religion but still hunger for something more please join me for this update.

What does it take to put a fractured world back together? Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon joins Evan Rosa to explore William Blake as the great counter-Enlightenment guide for our anxious, divided age. "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." In this episode with Evan Rosa, Vernon explains how to read William Blake, and reflects on Blake as the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic—a poet, painter, and philosopher offering not just a diagnosis of modern division but the beginnings of an antidote. Together they discuss Newton's long shadow and the withdrawal of inner life; the fragmentation of humanity from itself, nature, and the divine; the marriage of heaven and hell; cleansing the doors of perception; imagination as abundance rather than scarcity; desire rightly ordered; and Blake's Christ, who acts from impulse rather than rule. ——— Episode Highlights "I think he's the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic." "We need these oppositions in order to create the dynamism of life and hence the Marriage of Heaven and Hell." "The task is to align, align with the goods in the melee, and see how that which is seemingly different for you, might have something to offer you." "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." "The fullness of the love, the fullness of the goods, paradoxically, it can seem, is only revealed when it reaches out to that, which seems to be the opposite of it." ——— About Mark Vernon Mark Vernon is a writer, broadcaster, and psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and a former Anglican priest. His studies began with a physics degree at Durham University, followed by two degrees in theology and a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy from the University of Warwick; he has also worked at the Maudsley Hospital.

Music can transport us to a different time and place — but how does that happen? We explore how music affects our brains — from its ability to tap into our memories and imaginations, to “musical daydreaming” and how it helps us understand both the world and ourselves. We also discuss the therapeutic power of music. We talk with Elizabeth Margulis, director of the Music Cognition Lab at Princeton University, about how music affects our brains, and how it helps us make meaning and sense — both of ourselves, and of the world. Her new book is “Transported: The Everyday Magic of Musical Daydreams.” We listen back to an interview with musician and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin about music's ability to engage our brains, its close link with physical movement, and its function — both therapeutically, and in human evolution. He's the author of  “I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine.”
