Julie, welcome to Dear to Dream. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm happy to be with you. You know, I just want to go back through a little bit of what I just read because I find so many pieces of all of what you offer pretty fascinating. Okay. So I'm curious about the part of you helping people through photographs and artifacts. What does that mean exactly? Like what happens? What, what should they bring and what happens when you receive that? If they would bring a ring of someone who's crossed over, for example, a piece of jewelry or if they bring a photograph, it's really one in the same for me. I get the energy. I believe that everything has energy and we all have energy. And so actually start feeling the energy of the person's personality, the person that's over or a person that is still alive. It works either way. And so it helps me get immediately in that person's energy versus, I mean, I can do it without the artifacts and the photographs as well, but it really kind of gets me right in there very quickly. Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense because I wasn't sure is it like I take my ring off, but it sounds like when you want the reading, somebody else bring a piece of something that belongs to them or a photograph of them. And that's where you go from. I'm a big reader of eyes. So when I look at people's eyes and pictures, it just, boom, it puts me right into their personality characteristics. Yeah. So it's quite interesting, actually. What is that like? I can't even, I know they say the eyes are the window of the soul, but what is that like today? They are actually. They really, really are. I can tell so much about a person with, you know, in their eyes. And it was like that as when I was a younger as well, I always felt like I could read people very well when I was little and it still stands today and it just, again, it just is something that naturally occurs that puts me in that person's energy and helps me to read their character, their personality characteristics. So what would happen if, so what if, for instance, you shut up for this interview and it could be me or anybody and we're doing this interview and there you are looking in my eyes going, hmm, that's such a great person or you see something pretty significant, that's aberrant. Like what would that be like? It's pretty profound. It's pretty profound because obviously something, you know, you cannot really let it on, you know, because you just, there might be, what, a four or 5% chance that I'd be off or wrong or something like that. So there's that aspect of it. And the second aspect is, is, you know, it really doesn't matter.  And so unless I'm doing a reading, then I usually, you know, have been taught and trained to put it in perspective. And you say you were taught, so you're multi-generational. Is that right? Yes, that's true. How far back does it go?  So my great, great grandmother and then my grandmother and my great, great grandmother had it as well. And then my grandmother did. They were both mediums and both channelers in one aspect or another, not maybe exactly the way that I'm doing it. And they could read people as well. Same thing with the eyes. My grandmother also read tea leaves. And so the tea leaves gave her the tools to be able to catapult somebody's energy into their lives. So it's kind of, you know, it was interesting. I grew up watching her do that. Um, so she would read people that way. It's interesting that it skips generations that your mother didn't receive the gift. I assume. Yes, she did. Actually, she did, but she just chose not to use it. Um, really, she doesn't have the medium part or the channeling part. So it's kind of like it almost skips generations. My sons have it to a certain degree too, but they don't get the medium part and the channeling. It's more about reading people and can understand what their energy feels like, you know, that kind of thing. Or they, um, you know, have dreams and then it happens. That kind of thing. And when you do group readings, you pull people out of the groups and the events and individually speak to them in front of the group, or do you do something for the entire group's energy? Actually, I do it both ways. So I've done audience readings, you know, where I would go in front of, um, maybe 70 or 80 people and actually, you know, would pick up the energy in the audience and pick up somebody's certain circumstance if they lost someone on a car accident, that kind of thing. And then I would get details and it would come out more and more and then that person stands. So I did, that's kind of a traditional and a group setting reading. Um, and then I've done family group readings where let's say I, the biggest group I had was 11 people all in the same family. That was quite interesting because, you know, there's some touchy situations sometimes that come up and it can be a little sticky, uh, but I always prepare them beforehand, um, by saying how much do you, how much would you like me to say?  So, uh, I do that and then I do individuals, um, you know, the group, like at a home reading or, or as I've done parties where I've done 15, 20 minute type of things too as well. Tell me about the children that are near and dear to your heart, the children with clutches and Asperger's. What is that for you? Oh my gosh, um, thanks for asking me. It is about, I have a extensive occupational therapy background with children, with autism. And so I've had some pretty extensive, um, experiences, with experiences, excuse me, with kids that have been mute and they can't, they don't really talk and the sounds are, they're extremely sensitive to sounds. And so therefore when you're trying to use occupational therapy with them to bring them around by play therapy, that type of thing. And they can be quite combative at times. If you have the wrong sound or if you say the wrong thing, it's very touchy. So what I would do, I start using with the parents permission of course, I would use the occupational therapy, play therapy to get them, you know, going and then using some sensory, you know, desensitization with them. At the same time would take my hand and I would get the healing going in my hand, you know, the energy, healing energy. And I would kind of, you know, put the hand about maybe six or eight inches, you know, behind their back and get that energy going, running up and down their spine. And it was, it has an instantaneous calming effect on the child. And so therefore by calming them down, using energy healing, I was able to get a lot further, a lot quicker with the occupational therapy part of it. So it was really quite interesting and then some of the parents would want to be taught how to do that so they could do that themselves with it. And that was very effective. It was really great. So for somebody who doesn't speak or has difficulty communicating in the way that we are known to communicate on this planet today, how is that for you? Can you actually hear what is going on with them and what it is they're expressing inside or expressing to you? Yes, very good question. Yeah, that's a very good question because I usually don't talk about that part, never ask that question, but it's very true. Yes, because I can sense what they are saying inside and what they're feeling inside. So I feel like I was able to. Okay, so, okay, she's back. I'm back. This was hilarious. I deserve an Oscar for keeping this. It's Mercury. That's what I was telling him over five minutes. But listen, I'm going to put you in an interesting position and force you to jump right in here because our guest is here and she has a limited, a very limited amount of time now. Okay. So I want people to have an experience of you. You and Beth have never met each other. Beth actually missed the whole first beginning of this. So she's really placing her trust. And Beth, come on back to the show and welcome to Dare to Dream. It's so great to meet you. Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. I'm glad we get to see you. You're very lovely to see. Thank you. So are you? Thank you. Thank you. It's a miracle at this point. It's amazing. Thank you, Debbie. Yeah. So, Beth. Yes. Psychic, medium, channeler, medical, intuitive, highly, highly gifted. Does pass lives everything. I'm going to allow you to ask a question. You're brilliant. So I know you know enough not to ask something leading or give too much information. Sure. And then Julie will open up and start speaking to you. Okay. I have a question. So I've been dealing with a pretty serious health, chronic health issue for about 12 years. And it definitely feels like it's on the tail end now. But I'm just wondering if there's anything I need to clear emotionally or I should be super mindful of to keep this healing unfolding because I'm feeling like myself. Again. Yeah. Yes. It's a chronic condition. I'm picking up that it's a very chronic condition. I immediately got like your upper GI. Yes. I don't know if the chronic okay. Yes. The upper GI is very much in distress. It's almost like in your stomach and the bottom part of your stomach it's like a very it's almost like an acid stabilization issue at the same time there's something else they are not quite sure because it's grainy. Then I come down from the stomach and into the small intestine and in the beginning of the small intestine there's like maybe like we call them medicine skip lesions or thinning of the intestinal wall in the beginning of the small intestine. Does that make sense? It does make sense. Yeah. Yes. I feel like it definitely in the emotional end of it or I always say the alignment of the body and mind and soul are so important and we can get thrown off with so much when we have a chronic condition. I've known that with my own personal experience and I feel like there was something 15 years ago or at age 15. There's a 15 in it where you had a circumstance in your life that kind of really rock the boat a bit and I feel like that's one the condition may have started whether you had symptoms then or not and it resonated in your body like a shock wave and it started this condition off. Does that make sense? Uh-huh. Yeah. I mean every healer and intuitive I've spoken to basically gets it within 10 to 15 years but I can go 15 years back and there was a shocking thing and then 10 years back there was a shocking thing and I think the one 10 years back compounded the one from before it. Yeah. So because what I saw when I was saying that our building blocks so I got building blocks and it's kind of like the actually there's something that when you were six years old or there's a 6 and it's 16 or 6 and so that was kind of like okay they're showing me a building block stack so in childhood you want to pull that one out and then the other blocks they barely stayed stacked but they were wobbling a bit so then they got you know control and then the thing 10 years ago boom it really rocked the boat and the blocks fell and then I'm getting one it was 10 10 years that 10 year mark and then it's something five years ago but I feel like it was then centered around what you're you're dealing with and so those all put together have just really you know you've been through a lot you've handled it quite well my gosh you've done a lot of work around spiritually around trying to really get your mind good and solid within with this and you should tap your pat yourself on the back yourself a lot of credit because I feel like you're not giving yourself as much credit you know I mean does that make sense to you yes yes I've heard that my whole life and I kind of understood I understand what it means now yes yes yes so I feel like that you're so much on the right track your body mind and soul is in alignment I feel like you know like all of us you got pretty rocked about and out of alignment many times but you've always been successful and putting yourself back in alignment so the answer to your question is are you doing everything except was that correct you're doing everything that you possibly can to remedy this yes a resounding loud yes yes yes yes you use some pretty unconventional and can come oh yes yeah you have you really have one in particular that you're using that the one that's very most unconventional is the one that you're not thinking as much that it's helping as much as it really really is does that make sense yeah actually well intellectually I know it's the thing that's helping the most I get that mentally but because it's so effortless and easy and painless and no side effects and so fast it's like really I mean Debbie and I have talked about this before like really like this I I know I get that it's working but it's actually working and it's just like doesn't require any effort on my part you know what I'm getting really clearly that that is the most effective so I think you're feeling it obviously you resonate with that and you're feeling it so stick the course with it it's wonderful thank you I get that you've tried six different approaches and that that one you're still using about four of those and that that one you know you're not thinking it's doing as much but you're right on the money with it stick with it thank you you're so welcome I want to Beth do you still have a few minutes I have well my call is in one minute so I have one minute okay yeah I don't know that we could go that deep then but I was going to ask for a bit of a past life reading for Beth something that might help her with her situation right now to better understand it or heal it okay no a lot of I'm getting a lot actually okay um so in a past life situation you actually had the same issue or maybe not the exact same but the same area of the body the same exact area of the body and it couldn't be um okay so it couldn't be handled and dealt with in that life and it really really took you down and in this life it's popping back up and you're actually getting it resolving and getting it work through you've picked up so many tools and have learned so much by having what you do with this condition that you've learned so much I feel like that what you learn you're going to pass it on to people and actually help so many more people with like that's a plan it's incredible and you know I'm getting chills and when I get real big cold are you too yeah my arms are totally goosebumping oh good good good because I just am so excited about it I mean now it's terrible that you've gone through this but at the same time you're going to make a profound difference and change with other people uh it's all for all of you yeah oh thank you both so much I'm sorry I have to jet this is awesome amazing Debbie I'm so grateful Julie you're beautiful so Debbie always leads me to the very best people and she does me too I have a big audience so you get let me know how I can share you with my audience too and thank you so much this is awesome thank you so much she'll be out in LA and we'll be with her in person I'm going to have her over and do a little meet and greet with my intimate friends so thank you for coming on great thank you bye now bye fine that was awesome and so you can see in just a few minutes what's possible but if Julie had had an hour with her what else would be possible so Julie I have a funny question about so I'm saying if Julie had had an hour with Beth obviously I even had a lot of questions for Beth I would have loved to know the other side I would have loved to know you know any other energetics about the body I mean I had a lot of questions okay that said when I say Julie comma one hour reading do you ever keep your readings to an hour or do you always go over you know the answer to that Deb so people get up like I can't for their buck thank you you know I believe in giving people what they need what they really need and so if at an hour it's there's nothing more frustrating when you're with a you know someone and whether it's a count traditional counselor or non-traditional like I am you know and your time's up boom and you stop well if there's more information to give and I can do it within about 10 more minutes or 15 I take that and I try to give myself 10 is before the hour and if there's a little more information there I am very generous with my time because I want to help people heal and so I give them what they need yes yeah well that's good and you and when you say that what I can feel here is that you know a business person might look at you and say that's crazy she charges this much the hour should be on with her day but when I hear you say that I feel the energy of that alignment you speak of the body mind spirit a body mind soul that you are really in alignment with your gifts and with helping other people by doing that so that's lovely I you know I'm sure you leave me yeah it's a big deal what do you think is the greatest misperception about psychics today oh well I'm trying to change that perception I don't like the part of psychic the psychic world there's different realms of the psychic world and I don't want to get into that really but what I will say though I'm glad you asked the question I'm trying to change that perception because there's a lot of people like me a lot of great people and that are trying to really help people heal with their gifts and so I feel like the greatest misperception is people don't understand sometimes that when you channel they think it's more witchcraft or that type of thing and yes there is some of that but I'm not about that and I don't I you know to each his own you know but what I'm trying to do is really talk about the healers like myself that use their gifts to help people heal and that can be in a multitude of ways as we just saw it can be from a physical condition but there's always a connection with the physical symptoms in the body being a nurse I saw that all the time being an OT I saw it all the time there's always always a connection with the emotional part of a person as big as life is their physical condition so I believe that you really have to change the physical and the emotional in order to get completely well that helps and so the biggest misperception is in my realm and my people that are trying to heal with these intuitive gifts is that it's a different thing than when you're into maybe you know a different type of psychic realm with a crystal ball and that's fine like I said I don't you know to each his own but I'm not like that I use my gifts to heal and that that helps I guess I imagine I've heard this set out there by skeptics about psychics where they'll ask a question or let's say the psychic asks a question and the person's retort is well you're a psychic how come you don't know that as though you have a handbook to the entire planet world matrix people and it seems sort of a very cruel thing to say because we're all very gifted but I mean I'm Claire Cindy and if somebody said that which means I receive information through my senses if somebody said that to me you would piss me off but it's not how my gift works so and you have way more access so how how do you how does that land for you same way it lands for you too but I just I I get that not very often because I really the people that need me the very most that they come to me and so you know I seem to always get great clients just very great clients they need me and I need them to do what I do and it's always a pretty really great that but sometimes I do have that happen and when I can tell that they're there just for that reason you know to try to get me to say well I think because I only know about probably 90% 85 to 90% and the other parts free will and the other part is God and so or your higher power I honor all religions so it's your higher power and it's also your free will so a you can't know everything because and anyone that claims they do it's not a good thing and so I just do the very best I I can do with my gifts and people that are there for the right reasons they always seem to be very very happy I'm curious one of the things of course yes and I also resonate deeply with that you bring in the best clients there's a lot of power in that and people who have come to work with me have said how do you know I'm the right person which is a funny thing to ask but they're dying for me to vet them but I really if I can be very I don't know cliche about this which I'm so not really like God in the universe do the picking I just know it's really easy people who are attracted to my work they're my people and I can tell in a conversation you were saying earlier you can look in someone's eyes and you're there you read their energy you know what's going on you know for me obviously a conversation at feeling someone's energy and vibe it's very clear so I also feel the same bringing the best people and clients and I feel very solid in that so of course that's what's created I agree makes it easy and something I'm curious about in the list of things you provide is house clearings oh could you share a story about that about a house clearing you did and what it was like and the result oh yes I have a very interesting house clearing story it was here in Cincinnati and it was in a particular area down by the river that was a very prominent place back in maybe the turn of the century and so the house is maybe over 100 years old well it was about 140 or 50 years old actually and it was used for to hide slaves in the basement and so it was very profound it was a photographer I had hired actually and she said let me know how that you feel when you bring would you mind going in my uh home because they were fixing it up and ready to move in in three months and she said there's no way my husband and I can move in this house feeling like we feel in this house and she had no prior experience with psyche clearing she didn't even really believe in the afterlife at all so that was quite interesting to make a long story short because I could talk about it for half an hour I felt the energy immediately in the house and can you imagine that was 150 year of history in that house so you had a lot going on but the most profound was the slaves in the basement and it was a dirt base and it was very dark and a little bit you know on the leery side and I went with another person a shaman that I really highly recommend and respect and we went in the basement and we performed a ceremony it's like he did something with a pot and epsom salts and lit a fire in a pot and he believed that it drew the energy and I believe it too that I've seen it many times and I've been with him it drew the energy that the negative energy in you know pulled it into the pot and into the room and then as he did that he also made a crystal grid and so did I we put our crystal grids down it drew the energy into it and he believed and so did I that it lifted those energies and released those spirits from that basement that had been trapped in there all those years so when you know he explained that what I'm explaining to you to the client and like I said they didn't even believe in this until this point so when he did that and then we performed a ceremony a very you know to the higher power a prayer really and so we said the prayer and we stood around the room and held hands and then we asked God to release these spirits that needed to be released because they were afraid to cross over basically what was going on they were afraid to cross over they had such a harrowing experience on earth that they were afraid to cross over so when we did the pot ceremony and the crystal grid I could actually I could see feel and hear then believe and there was a way way over I would say about a hundred that left and it was very much it was very profound and it was it was but at the same time it made us cry and at the same time it made us feel so good because so many had left and they crossed over to a really good place and that was the most profound and this woman and her husband once you performed this ceremony and cleared this energy from the home what was that like for them then to move in oh well they felt really good about it they could actually feel they couldn't see or hear but they could actually feel the energy in the room shift it was that profound that you could you know they had no experience with it but they could actually feel that energy shift quite profoundly and so after that they felt a lot better and I guess they moved in I want to say three or four months after that and they could actually live in there very comfortably so that was a very rewarding experience wow you are so brave to do things like that are you ever look I've seen a lot of scary movies so when you say that I wonder like are you ever going into a spooky house are you ever afraid something's going to come in you or come after you yes I have been before and when I had I speak of the a mentor I had in my 30s and he was very very very very thorough on how to prepare yourself how to protect yourself and I had I had not had that training I wouldn't do this at all but he taught he was very very heavy on the white light and the higher power and that if you do these protection prayers and you really really have a strong spiritual base that one no matter what you're exposed to that it cannot attach to you and I really could profoundly believe that and I've experienced it so I don't put myself in those situations very often maybe once or twice a year that you know to that that big and profound because it does after you leave it does take energy out of you a lot of energy and you have to do a lot of work putting the energy back in and get and keep yourself very aligned but the answer to your question is yes had I not learned how to protect myself I wouldn't go near it at all but so now I'm not I'm not afraid now no I can I can actually say no wow yeah man that's beyond for me that is really and uh so let's see there's I have so many things percolating to ask you I want to remind people who are watching or listening you can find Julie Lowenstein at mines I medium.com and this is dare to dream Debbie Daschinger um Julie what is uh what is a ritual or practice that you use every day that keeps you grounded well oh well it it quite I'm very conscientious and it quite takes a lot of energy in a good way I all I do Reiki healing on myself every day to balance my chakras and keep my energy good and open and clear so actually what I'm doing is clearing my chakras and so if there's any if there if I'm low on energy it fills me up but before I do that I have to clear them all clear each chakra out then I fill each sock and each chakra back up and make sure that they're all open and full and after that then I will if there are any areas in my body that I feel or my mind that's a little bit out of alignment I have to work on that I intuitively feel that so I do a healing on myself every day and I use some form of guided imagery not really big on meditating per se I lay there very still for 20 minutes a day and I guess you could call that meditation but I am big on using a lot of guided imagery so to help keep my third eye open and keep it open properly meaning you know of the white light only the white light through God and a lot of prayers and so I do guided imagery make sure my shockers are healed and balanced and I also do I guess what you could call meditation where I lay there and I try to get you know images or I actually hear from my guides messages on what is the most profound on the way I can keep healing and what people need so I get a lot of really important messages that way sometimes a lot of energy to keep you aligned but also really open to good to be to good to do good you know one thing that you and I have never done and I know this is not so for many many many of your clients but we've actually never done anything about someone who is past or crossed over for me I don't know if there's anyone there but I'm wondering if you get anything I'd love people to have an experience of you doing that I've actually never had an experience of you doing that so yeah do you get anything yeah I'm getting here at one of your grand I'm getting she's very very very very direct I am her maternal grandmother was she extremely direct and new or mine or was it do I have the energy of the other of the earth eternal well feeling like a grandmother so but she's made it pretty clear where did you know your maternal brand mother oh yes I did I knew she was coming through whoa she has such clear she says she knows her boundaries she knew who she was and she was all about using her strength and her energy to do well to do to do good and she she said people either loved me or they didn't because she was she really had very strong feelings and ideas and would stick to those and she was very very principled woman she wants you to she likes to say it that way she said it very like that does that resonate yeah it does yeah this is eternal for sure so I don't know but it's like she also had so much love though in her heart at the same time yeah very kind and very giving and he had a lot of love she didn't feel on earth that she showed it though as much as she liked so it may not seem that way to you but that's how she feels and she wish she could have given more to you and more to your brother is that right and yes yeah but I feel like she almost feels like she gave you a little more attention because you were the you were a girl and she felt that you a girl needed her grandmother and she felt that she gave you a little bit more attention in certain ways because you needed her does that make sense oh thousand percent yeah and so she did give gifts to your brother she did give gifts to your brother but they weren't quite as maybe profound as as with you and she liked to she liked to feel she's tentative about it but she but at the same time she so she's being respectful and asking you if she felt that she's gave you an element of strength from this family lineage that you drew some strength from her so and it totally makes me want to cry because it's not even just strength I mean honestly she gave me life I don't know that I would be here without she or my grandfather and I know she loved me profoundly I know she had idiosyncrasies and yada yada but I felt incredibly seen and loved by her yeah yeah I mean she was very respectful and asking that question and she's so happy that you fell that way because that was her prime purpose and life and goal is to make sure that you had a really strong anchor she's definitely placing emphasis on anchored being strong anchoring to her family lineage she liked her family's lineage she was very profit and times when she said sometimes people are not so proud of their lineages in the same respect if that makes sense she's not coming out and saying exactly what that is because she said you know what that is and she was very proud of her lineage and very proud of her principles and she learned it from her mother and her grandmother in a certain way she feels like it was has been passed down on her side and so she said honey it was my pleasure to give you the anchoring and the love that you didn't get from you know that you need it that she felt that she needed to help fill that void and to give you that love to anchor you does that make sense yes it does it's beautiful yeah I I can't even ask her yeah can I ask her about I was hoping she would come through to be honest um and there's a reason I want her because this is always important to her so I want her to weigh in on the romantic relationship I'm in right now and I would like to get her feedback there's a few idiosyncrasies there and I think that's all I'll say she's smiling but she said tread lightly because there's things that he needs to work out and things you need to work out and that it's about timing number one and the second thing and she said you would know why she's saying so because we don't want to get very personal she was saying that it's very important for you to tread lightly and that you would understand what that means do you understand what that means tread lightly no I really don't is she saying go slow is she saying back off no not back off at all she's very happy with his character in his judgment and but he she said it's more it's a feeling of take it back up takes low because there's things that he needs to work out on his own to be the best he can be for you because he wants to he really genuinely wants to give you the best he can give you and the only way that he feels himself he has actually feeling this way himself the only way he can give you that very best that you so need want and deserve is to give himself very right and very good and very solid and he's feeling a little bit out of sorts right now and so it's more like tread lightly in other words giving his room and I feel like that she feels like and so do I that you're all about that it's not a problem but you can tend to you love him very much and he loves you so it can get a little bit if you get too close and too deep too quick it can be a little bit put him off of his game plan so to speak and a little bit off of yours too I feel like you're going through a lot of changes as well so it's almost like you guys need to you know work on your perspective goals and then at the same time I feel like you're doing a good job by coming together and making it work she said like I've always taught you the key is communication the key is communication and no matter how difficult it may be come at times does that make sense sure yeah that's actually incredibly apropos and I have intuitively felt it never said it out loud but wondered to myself about just the ebb and the flow of our time together and for sure a lot blossoming in my space a lot of new things looming that are awesome but things calling my attention and now for sure his he's just had some big change so yes that's very true and I wondered when I met him because there was a well he shares the same birthday as her and for some reason I just also he just left a profession like literally just left a profession that she was in and somehow for me when I met him and after we've been dating a while and we I think we realize well I realize later something's here when I asked him that quote yeah when's your birthday and he said that and I knew what he did for a living I just felt like that was so interesting and I was wondering it was a sign I'm sorry Debbie go ahead yeah that was it really open-ended question yeah because she well she piped in and that's what made me talk really quick because I never stopped channeling when I'm in a reading so I apologize but it I think that you know that it hits me like that and I say it and I can't really control it much and he said it really loud and profound that was the sign okay she very much likes his character his character his he's got a really good character and a good soul a good heart soul and character and she she gave the wink she said she used to give winks she used to wink like when she approved of something I don't know if you remember it she's hoping that you do but she used to give the give a wink you know when she approved of something does that make sense yeah that's beautiful thank you thank you very much talking about a pearl did she had some kind of pearl brooch or it was like a necklace that it's it was a pearl and then she showed me a cameo as well so there's like a cameo and then there's a pearl there's like two separate pieces of jewelry yes she feels that your mother has one set of that she has your mother would know what that looks like if you if you're not quite sure about it yeah there well okay does that make sense at all yeah I have some of her jewelry for sure and I definitely have the pearl things you're talking about I have a few broaches of her okay including one with pearls and then I believe I have I have some outstanding pieces of hers but yes for sure my mom may also yeah to a great taste oh my god oh god yes so oh well and she tried to um and obviously she said this is her words I'm like obviously I've succeeded to groom you until beautiful beautiful soul and human being and it kind of gets me choked up because she's very very serious about that and she's very proud of you very proud of you she's showing me something that you did in the kitchen that was a ritualistic kind of a thing that you did almost every day or she did almost every day and then she tried to get you to do it was it was based about around something that she did in the kitchen was with cooking and preparing something it was more centered around work does that make sense yes my grandmother was an awesome cook she worked full time doing me egg beaters like the old egg beaters you know she's doing this with the egg beaters does that make sense she yes so I spent so much time there and she would um eggs over easy I think it was like sunny side up over easy something like that but she made me exquisite eggs on toast I just remember it was like the best thing in the world eggs were very big I don't remember eating anything else I was probably a very picky eater but also in general her in the kitchen baking and cooking and I was often there while she did it and god she was good she said thank you so much because she she just delighted in cooking for you delighted in it that was a joy of hers actually it was giving you her food you know cooking her food and serving it to you and letting you see it and watch it and show you yeah yes yes but she was very specific about the egg beater the eggs yes yeah did you want to ask another question while I have her here you know what I'd really love to get her feedback on if she can check in with my mother right now and I'd love her to help me give me some insight maybe something that's going on that would help right immediately she said wow and she went like this she she has a lot of empathy what you're going through with your mother and mother's going through profound mental changes profound physical changes is her memory I mean everybody when we get older our memories not all of us get lose a lot a component of that but I feel like there's some medication that she's on is she on three to four medications because there's one medication that they're thinking is giving her like you know they think it's a memory issue but it's actually the medication interacting with another medication that is causing her to be mentally a little bit foggy forgetful and sometimes highly agitated it's not the right medication that's mixed with another one does that make sense I would have to ask her I don't know about that my mom's so anti-big pharma she'd be loathe to jump on medication so I'd have to ask her if she is on I'll tell you what it could be a supplement or could be something as simple as that as well and not seeing that it could be pharmacology honestly I see two prescriptions I do see two prescriptions with the actual labels on them and then I see does she take three supplements three or four supplementation products totally there's interaction there that is causing her like the supplements with the medication there's some kind of interaction happening happening that's making her feel agitated at times and feel foggy at other times but she does have some issues going on like in her arteries she has if she hasn't had high cholesterol I feel like it is something of that nature that's hardening the arteries a little bit more and not making them as pliable if that makes sense a lot of joint pain just a lot of joint pain but there's nothing profound that I want to just go oh my god it's kind of like a mesh mass of a lot of little things that are adding up there just feeling miserable does that make sense yes yeah and your grandmother your grandmother said and she can drive you a little bit it's still 100% she said darling you skate on thin thin ice she did she said darling you're skating on thin thin ice and it can be quite nerve-wracking because you never know what version you're gonna get the agitation you can get agitation or sometimes you can get kind of not the feeling that she's very present or that she's not paying quite enough attention to what you're saying it's more about what she's trying to say to you all the time instead of what you're saying you don't feel listened to and she said even though you don't feel listened to she goes that's nothing new oh my god and she had a lot of empathy with your relationship yes she did yes she really did she's having a lot of empathy yes she's having a lot of empathy she said that's nothing new though it's not no she's having a lot of empathy because you're going through quite a profound experience she's proud of you though for overlooking the things that you do and that you're very strong and you're able to tell her what you need to tell her and the time you're telling her and without holding all that you're able to say it in a way that it is direct but it's not mean and insulting it's direct so you need but you obviously do mean to do she's saying at the same time though skating on she said that's what I meant by the thin ice is that you're almost feeling like your skates it's just because you don't know if you're going to fall through it any minute and that's how your nerves feel yes wow this is deep that's I'm telling you right now that is like we'll say that again I said you know I always go deep yeah that's like she has a lot to share so when I do a personal reading for you I feel she will definitely be pretty quick and we can click right into her she's very present and she said she has a lot to say to you a lot I would love to receive that okay then we shall set something up because my god this is like talking to a real person about a real person that was so detailed you couldn't have been saying I don't know you could have said a million other things and it wouldn't have been accurate about my mom's health mentally physically my relationship with her how very difficult she is and by the way the fact that you even use the word miserable is how I have the exact quality I've described when I speak on stage and I have to talk about my child and I do I bring it in I always felt that she was very committed to being miserable and struggling so so to hear that verbatim back is amazing and also by the way that is my core wound is being heard and seen because of yes growing up so that's how to profound effect on me too and why I do what I do out in the world yes I was I was just gonna she actually said that is that that's why she's so proud of you for using your voice in this point in your life and in this time in your life and you always use your voice but it's kind of I mean you keep working and working to deliver your voice to help people to help people change and make the changes they need and they want so desperately and it's so important that that's why you've used your voice and and you've done such she's so proud of you for using your voice to make it really make a change in other people's lives and at the same time it's helped you feel really good about yourself and she said you deserve nothing better than that and that's what she wished for you is actually she encouraged you to use your voice she said she was big on using voice and use it and see what you feel from your heart she pulled no punches wow man I feel so good I love you grandma I love you grandma so much that was really beautiful I got the chills again yeah so Julie let me ask you this is Dear to Dream what are you next Dear to Dream what are your future dreams and goals oh thank you for that my future dreams and goals are to do more shows and podcasting or radio to get my message out that people can no matter how painful no matter how depressed painful what they're ever going to do it can't they can take their life in their own hands and get control of their own lives and and feel good about themselves no matter how bad life circumstances may be physically mentally or all three spiritually and so my my goal is to deliver that message and help people achieve it to really get your goals to achieve the best part of themselves body, mind, and soul that they can possibly be and feel really good in this life about themselves that's my goal and whether I can do it through books or I can do it through speaking public speaking I feel like it's time that I want to use my voice as well to help people so I think that answers it it's a beautiful dream for sure and may we all enjoy this voice of yours and these amazing gifts so tell me let's see what do I want to ask you what would you like to let the viewers or the listeners know here at the very end well if if you're if you're if if people are feeling at alignment a lot of people don't know what that means but alignment is when you're feeling your your circumstances even materially if you're in a home you don't lay in that great you don't feel comfortable in if you're in a job you don't feel comfortable in if you're having a lot of issues and maybe your family or whatever and you may only have one of those but it's enough and profound enough to throw the other areas of your life off and in that way so the message is is if your outer circumstances aren't measuring and meshing up with your heart in your inner circumstances then there's something severely out of alignment and it can be helped and you can take control of it and you can live your best life you can come through the rain and there's sun again and it can be a beautiful life still there's not there's always hope hope hope there is always hope Julie thank you for sharing your brilliant sincere to dream it's been great thank you Dan

My name is Ziyad Hanhan, I'm a thoracic surgeon at Riverview Medical Center. The types of cancers that we treat are predominantly lung cancer, submisophageal cancer, or anything that may, any kind of chest-based malignancy. One of the more common things that we see for non-malignant thoracic pathologies is complications from a pneumonia, so typically a patient would have a bad pneumonia and they'll come in and the disease process spills over between the lung and the chest wall. The medical entity is known as Empyema, and that often requires surgical drainage, so we go in there and remove all the infectious material that's trapping the lung, so between the lung and the ribs, and we can clean that up. On a monthly basis, my colleagues and I review cases in a prospective fashion at Riverview Medical Center, and what we do is we all get together and so you have a team approach, we do it in a prospective fashion, meaning before the patient is necessarily treated to figure out what's the best approach to do that. For example, today we had a tumor board and we had five medical oncologists attend, we had a radiation oncologist, there was a radiologist there, three pathologists, and it's nice to have all that experience and wisdom in one room, we can all get together and figure out what's best for the patient. For anyone who's thinking about pursuing cancer-related services, the choice of hack-and-sack meridian is a solid choice. There's community-based physicians, long-track records in the community, so as a whole host not only is a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to the patient, but also we're able to back it up with state-of-the-art resection, localization of lung nodules, comprehensive follow-up, and with a caring nurse at the bedside. There's a lot of choices when you look at cancer services, and if you look at the community, I think Riverview Medical Center provides an optimal blend of truly compassionate care with state-of-the-art technology. As a healthcare consumer, I was on the other end of receiving services at Riverview Medical Center, and my wife and I had a great experience here as far as that goes with the delivery of our second son.


A statement from military persecutors in Burkina Faso has stated that former president Blaise Campari will be tried from October 11th for the murder of Thomas Sankara, who he oystered in a 1987 coup. Campari and 12 others are facing charges of attacking state security, complicity in murder and complicity in the concealment of causes. Prosecutors say proceedings from the military tribunal will be held in public in the capital Wagadogo. One of those accused alongside Campari is General Gilbert Diandere, who is already serving a 20-year sentence in Burkina Faso for mastermining a plot in 2015.


This is Chris Pipe. My friends come a big seat. I'm back again guys. Today I got three, that's right, three new intros for you. That brings our grand total now up to 15 official freedom intros and we're gonna keep the ball rolling. In my last video I released another two plus I also told you guys that I was gonna be giving away a free intro to a winner that I will customize using your own logo. Putting it into an intro and bam, done. Well anyways guys, that is still gonna happen. I have to pick the winner. I'm gonna probably pick that tomorrow and then I'm gonna message you asking you to send me your logo to me by email because that's pretty much the only way I can really do it. So anyways, with that out of the way guys, I've got three free ones here for you. I've also got a featured on Freedom Online coming up as well. We've been making a lot of big changes to our website and we've got some new stuff coming and we've got some new posts coming and we've got a little bit of a change in direction or maybe an addition to direction. But with that out of the way guys, enjoy the free intros I put two at the front and then when I'm done talking here, there's gonna be another one for you to watch. Remember, all of this stuff is free. Take it if you want it. If you don't want it or you're not gonna use it, that's okay too guys. It's for you, for the partners, making it happen. I'll be back soon with my featured on Freedom Online version. Check it out. Bling.


The paper presents a computational sandbox for studying urban damage scenarios using automata models with interactivity provided by slipstreaming. It supports parameterization of synthetic built settings and humans, allowing flexible analyses of damage scenarios and their determining processes from micro to macro perspectives. While there is room for improvement in terms of real-world fidelity, the model has produced meaningful results supporting practical questions of how urban design and parking scenarios shape egress and pointing to potential phenomena of perceptual shadowing as a translation mechanism for processes at the built human interface. This article was offered by Paul M. Torrance.


Okay, we're going to start now. Tuya will be introducing Osengar as I've said to you. Let me just say this. Okay, welcome to Inspiration Island. I'm Tuya Hayans associate director here. I'm honored to work with Osengar who, with her former partner, Bero, built this remarkable and very responsive model of the broadening areas of the brain and how they respond to different stimuli. Let me introduce Osengar. Osengar is a postdoc in an FMRI neuroscience lab. She is interested in showing what the cortex looks like from the inside, like a planetarium. Inside this big black brain, you can look up and see the human cerebral cortex from the inside. Each broadening area appears in its correct location using the tallarage coordinates. Sitting or standing on the poststand inside presents a menu of activities and visual stimuli. So, thank you for joining us today. And I encourage you to get to know Osengar. She's involved in other projects here too. And I'm sure she'd be happy to tell you about those and get you involved in that as well. So, I leave you now in the good care of our associate Osengar. And thank you all so much for coming today. Yes, a lot of people in the region. Great. I'm glad you're here, dear. Osengar says, before we go inside the brain to look at the cortex, let me point out the different subcortical structures, two of each.  Hippocampus is bright red. The thalamus is blue. The basal ganglia in two parts. The codate is green and the pudiment is dark red. We'll be coming back so just get re, just get oriented right now. And thank you tagline to view something closer. Put your cursor on the target, click Alt key and left click. At the same time, you can zoom in. The subcortex is arguably more important than the cortex. Okay, now we're going into the brain. Just go up the bramp. I think Josane is right on the ramp.  Can you all hear me inside? Yeah, good. Voice is enabled here. Okay, you're inside. You can tell me. Good. Good. I'll stay out here. Good, good. It's now where it's really getting a good workout today. Okay, yeah, a lot of exercise. Okay. You can find her. That's good. Okay, now is now standing on the animation pad or near the animation pad. Which people can try out. It will animate your avatar and tell you what it's doing to you. And it will activate the appropriate broadband area, corresponding broadband areas of the brain for each activity. Really work. And just because my name is on the animation pad, brain poses doesn't mean it's special. I'm not sure why it's by copy. Maybe because I'm hand. Okay, is Osengar going to continue now? We'll get her. She can go ahead. Osengar comments that animation pad is a little distracting because of talking so much. This is a very, very full brain, right? Osengar is now demonstrating by using the animation pad. Is it working for you? Shall I restart the animation? I'm just going to read some of the notes Osengar made that she gave me while this is going on.  Once we get inside the local chat will start streaming the BAs and their functions and you'll see all this thing going around you. This services a reminder that our brains are busy even while we are trying to ignore local chat and concentrate on the incredible words. It's a little distracting, but services a reminder that our brains are busy buzzing along. I'm going to restart. So Tuy is going to start that. Okay. Okay, we have Tuy here to do that. While she's doing that, I just want to add a few more notes here. The transparent floor cuts our brain roughly in half. The magic of second life. Standing on the post stand presents me with a menu of actions and visual stimuli. When I choose one, the correct broadband areas are activated. Watch my avatar for a moment while I engage actions or look at images. The images are anonymous as you can see. No informed consent required. Now zoom out your camera to see the whole brain at once. What functions happen in what BAs when our cortex is active? So this is what she's trying to show you. The last time we did this at Science Circle six months ago, I guess, we did it there without having people come inside the brain. We just showed them. So it was, and it was a smaller group. So we didn't have quite the same challenges we're having here. So thank you for being patient with us. Normally we don't have this many people at one time and everything works well. You know, second life, right? Yep. The brain lights up in there if you're watching when she certain parts light up and you see where things do.  She says watch my avatar for a moment while I engage actions or look at images. The images are anonymous as you can see. No informed consent required. Oh, I'm glad you like it. Osengar and Biru and Osengar now is working so hard on this, especially the new mesh brain. Maybe you can help her. Zoom your camera view to see the whole brain at once, which is what we suggested before. Notice what functions happen in what BAs when our cortex is active. That's Broadman areas, BAs. Osengar says now I will punch you in my fists showing perfect second life motion. And notice what happens in the areas when she does that. Brain poses and areas light up connected to the motor action. And do come back yourselves and stand on the platform because it's very interesting to try different things and see where in the brain they occur. Way up top, the left and right motor strips are activating to produce my movement in my upper extremities, Osengar says. The primary motor strips, BA4S, or 4s are just across the central sulcus from the primary sensory strips, BA5s, 7s in the parietal lobes. So this gives you a sense of the space, a big dark cavern with globes hanging from the ceiling. Each globe is in the exact 3D coordinates. The real BAs, of course, are not spheres and they vary in size. Interesting to watch from the outside here. And she's going to say next let's chat about language. While I'm typing, BA45 Broca's area, which is BA45, is activating only on the left and only very localized. Is everything working okay now? I think so. Okay. I'm seeing things light up. Yep. Great. And you see it again in chat, what I just said. Yeah. There's a little chat lag. How localized? How proven? The answer is statistical significance. In fMRI studies, the activations in synchrony called functional connectivity are statistical differences in magnetic signal intensity of hemoglobin for specified clusters of voxels. Okay. P, how do I say that to you? 0.05 is colored red. Deactivations blue in fMRI maps. It's the best technique there is for studying brain function of groups of neurons rather than single neurons. It measures the oxygen used by groups of neurons. The visual cortex, BA17, is right behind me at the back. See it lighting up in the back? The visual cortex takes sensory input from the thalamus and detects patterns. I'm not sure about whether they're lighting up. I see things lighting up, do you all? Osengar says, in the far front is the polar frontal lobes, BA10, that collects detailed plans of possible actions, including simulations. Jenny asks, so you're not actually directly measuring neuronal activity but the oxygen usage? And I think this goes back to Berrigan's question, right? Are the areas active in both hemispheres? And she said, Osengar says, except for language, yes, bilateral. And then correct Jenny to her question. Hopefully the next activities will glow correctly. I don't know if Osengar can see them. It might be that she can't and we're seeing them okay. The cortex doesn't execute. There is no decider in the cortex. The cortex contains the detailed maps and instructions for activities and environments. The sub-cortex manages the basics. So why does it feel like we're doing it all voluntarily even, oh my God, intentionally? That's a very good question. Okay, things are lighting up. I hope she sees it. So she says, now I'm activating the insula, BA34 and 35 bilaterally. The insula is where the temporal lobes meet the frontal and parietal lobes. This will come in text probably in a minute or two. The insula collects internal sensations from our bodies. In particular, our visceral sensations, not external sensations, not pain. Pain pathways start in the skin and terminate in the parietal lobe. In the insula, we feel. Bergen Betz has something here. Question. When things light up near the base, does that mean the function is more primitive? I think Osengar will see that and answer it in a minute. Can you all see the images that are coming up that go with these light, the things that light up? I see brain poses, angry tantrum. I think as we're saying this again, the insula collects internal sensations from our bodies. In particular, our visceral sensations, not external sensations, not pain. Pain pathways start in the skin and terminate in the parietal lobe. In the insula, we feel. We sense directly. Hunger, nausea, fear, anger, sadness, longing, sexual arousal, bladder pressure, an important distinction, and social rejection. Bergen Betz says, I feel all of those sometimes at the same time. Osengar says, the insula doesn't cause these sensations. It registers and organizes them. Culturally, we prefer to ignore them. We've been having a lot of conversations here about that, the ignoring them. I will show you an example of using the visual stimuli. You can try these yourself. Again, I think the leg is making it slower than it would normally be. Anonymous entity asks, are images being displayed? And no, what's being displayed is the text of the activity that Osengar is initiating, and the corresponding broadened area of the brain lights up when she performs that activity. There are no visual stimuli being given here. However, I don't think there are visual stimuli. She hit block by mistake to you. She said, what does she do? She always guesses, ignore blah. I don't know. Okay, why don't I just hang on one second? I will restart the script again. Okay, I'm going to restart. Someone's telling her to open the block list. I don't think she'll know what to do with that. So Tui is going to help. She's going to get the menu back. She lost it. So please very let her know also, if she doesn't see this, that Tui is on it. We've got a team here. This is great. Osengar wants to show us meditation activations. She went offline. I don't think she... Okay, let me continue. She says something happened. She'll be right back. Okay. Meditation, by the way, is something that's important because it's the particular area of research that Osengar is involved in in her work, meditation. And meditation, as she explains, activates the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the VMPFC. Especially BA25, if you can see it in there. Well, the rest of the cortex is quiet. Ushikma's back online. So it's been interesting. And by the way, Osengar would like to do some research in Second Life on some of these things. So if you've engaged in research here, please contact us to let us know because we could... We'd appreciate your input and help in setting up a study that could be published. Okay. Oh, Osengar's always claiming terrible things to you. When we experiment on someone, we expand their brain to about the size of a football field, but we give you plenty of pain relievers first. Okay. So we said... We read this to you already about meditation. I think it seems to be working. Does it seem to be working now, folks? Just reassure Osengar that it's working. She says the VMPFC is my favorite brain region. It's the final evolution of cortical development where the frontal lobes expand so much that they fold under deep in the midline above the nose. Can you do it to you? Are you able to get the menu and do it for her? So follow... See if you can see Osengar. She's going to fly to the area. BA 25 is just below the anterior cingulate that monitors incoming conflicts and just in front of the basal ganglia that drives us. It's the present moment self. Bergen, I'm not sure she's using Firestorm. She may be on the Second Life viewer. So look for her. Look for her. She's sort of standing on the ventral medial free from the cortex. Amazing things you can do inside the brain. In some studies, another region, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, BA 9 and 46, also activates alternating BA 25. I suspect she says this happens when the meditator is engaging in a task instruction from the study investigator. So you can see the area she's talking about here. She's there. I see activity that's supposed to stimulate those areas. I see yoga float in the menu, but I don't see meditation. Meditation? No, it's not on the menu. So she's talking about the task instructions too. Okay. Things are moving. I should just add that Osengar brought this in originally or created it in Second Life because she wanted to teach neurologists from the inside, but she couldn't get any interested from outside. So now she poses a question after this about other areas that get activated. What about other areas? I don't know if she can do any of this if it's not working. She's going to try to ask you what areas activate with certain kinds of emotions or movements or whatever. I see a lot of movement going on. It is a busy brain. She has some questions, and I just thought I'd bring them up here because parts of the brain light up on that platform. These are parts of the brain lighting up that you're seeing in the local chat. The questions that Osengar is asking are what areas activate with love and sex? For instance, the frontal lobe, some voluntary plan of smooth moves, not appealing. Parietal lobe, pleasing sensations, hopefully some place more. Insular cortex, emotions aren't real anyway, right? Wrong. I'll see if we can get Osengar back here into text. Many fMRI studies have made it clear that emotions are real. For example, orgasm and sexual arousal are associated with activation of the hypothalamus. Yes, the lowly hormone secretor is involved in that. You want to read Berrigan? Berrigan says, I get the sense that the brain is expanded. Functional areas just smushed into the skull wherever they could fit. The skull evolved. Is Osengar trying to get the thing to work? I can't see her. I'm on some emotions here. Let's see. This is expressing fear. She's interested in Berrigan's comment. As all of us know, we really don't learn how to deal with emotion for many years, and it's certainly not while our brain is still soft and pliable. For many of us, we don't really understand emotion or learn how to handle it until we're about 30. And by then, our brain cannot expand anymore because our skull is set. At least one person is reliving some questions to Osengar. This is expressing fear. Now I will express a kiss. I see both. I want to each side of the brain to light up. This is BA21L. I think she's moved down to the new brain, but nobody knew it. I see people going down. Many are welcome to try out this big brain. We're coming back to the mesh developing. Osengar has asked, do two regions light up for each action? I think that's true. You'll see over behind our friends here, there's an exit, marked exit, the exit ramp. Follow us down the exit ramp, please. We'll probably try to let you all know through Science Circle and do it again. Does Osengar know? Is she typing in the nearby chat? Because I don't see it at all. She's not doing it. I think text and voice are set to be able to cross across boundaries. Sign up sessions with a few with a controlled amount of visitors might be a good idea. It's a kind of personal thing here, an intimate thing. She raises some very interesting questions about where in the brain things happen and what that means. So here, Osengar says, each structure here is labeled, including its function. In the back are the two blue thalamai. These are the sensory relay stations. Pretty straightforward, its activity is unconscious. We can't see or feel or hear until the thalamus shares it with the cortex.  Its function is not fear, it is danger. The amygdala monitors for danger, including anything unfamiliar or surprising. When bad experiences are remembered, they will activate the amygdala next time. Behind, adjacent and functionally connected to the amygdala is the hippocampus, the large bright red structure. Although hippocampus and memory are spoken in the same breath, it is more accurate to call the hippocampus the map maker. Lower, non-cognate animals establish their location in the environment so they can remember where it is at. So they can remember where they are, which way to go in the maze to get the food pellet next time. But the experience, the sensations of memories are not stored in the hippocampus. They are stored in the parietal and temporal lobes where the sensations were experienced during the memory episode. The dark blue structures are the putamen. This is where motor routines are learned and practiced. Skills, habits and behaviors. The cortex contains fine-tuned complex routines like playing the piano or communicating. But the automatic part that you do without looking like riding a bike, that is a putamen. I'm probably not pronouncing that right, but the instinctual drives are error, water, food, reproduction, intimacy, shelter, comfort, social connectedness, dominance, exploring, foraging. We capitalize on these instincts to learn a nearly unlimited smorgasbord of conditioned stimuli and conditioned responses. What about learning? The same as memory? No. Motor learning is different from episodic memory. The method of learning is different, called conditioning. This occurs in the codate. The bright green structures are the codate extending upwards and backwards, the nucleus accumbens. This is the land of Pavlov, skinner and dopamine. Drugs of abuse, alcoholism, overeating. I always wondered where that was lying there. That's where it is. Obsessions, narcissism, craving Twitter in the White House. The codate makes us pursuing rewards even when they are not rewarding. The codate makes us suffer the ache of withdrawal when what we want is withdrawing from us. I guess this gets into the emotions. Wanting won't wait. It's not voluntary. Longing lingers here while we suffer in the insula. The slideshow board is rotating through all 50 of the broadman areas. The tele-raic coordinates and their functions. Oversimplified. Please try out the post stand in the big brain and challenge me with your questions. So I think it's question and answer time. Please type your questions in, even if you typed them before, type them in again now. Someone asked the question, where is dark despair actualized based on metabolic activity? She answers, sadness activates the insula. Someone asks, what is Osengard's background? She answers, I'm a neurologist. I'm a postdoc in an fMRI lab in California, which is still part of the U.S. Good to know. Kira says, there was a statement that we tend to ignore our emotions in inner sensation.  So it seems that we better learn to ignore them much of the time. It's complicated for a social animal. So are there theories of self-control evolved? Taglan asked about suicidal ideation. And Osengard's ideation is cortical. Language. Can you hear me? Hello? Can you hear me? Okay. Ideation is cortical. Language-based ruminations. Okay, thank you. How do disorders like epilepsy affect BAs? A lot of questions here. I'm not sure which are the answers to which. So Taglan, are you referring to drug abuse and alcohol abuse? How does that bring protected self against self-abuse or even more directly like how does the brain protect itself from suicide? I don't know. Since Osengard can't hear that, I'm not sure she's able to read along here because there's so many questions coming in. She does mention that in epilepsy, the epileptic foci originate in scarred cortical regions, especially in insulus, so that would be BA34. I don't know that she was ever Yeah, sorry, go ahead. Go right ahead.  That's a good question too. Yes, I wonder if we can have some way of showing them up to her. I'm asking her if she can see the questions. Maybe I can put them into instant message to her. We just have to know which are the answers to which questions, right? Okay, so maybe if one person could put let's see, a little hard when you're all doing it through text. If anybody here has a question that was not answered by Osengard, just put it in text again right now. Okay, let's go with tagline first. Tagline and when that's answered, the next person can put their question in. We'll do it that way, okay? Go ahead, Katia. Read it. Tagline asks, pain of tactile origin is processed in the parietal lobe, if I understood the presentation. Where is deep visceral pain processed? Okay, she's gone back to an earlier one. Okay, thank you. Osengard is answering a previous question about Alzheimer's. Abnormal protein collects preferentially in the tibocampus, insula. Now that goes with this tagline. Question I believe. So I believe tagline? He answered your question. Insula. Oh goodness. Okay. So I'm going to paste tagline's question into Osengard. Oh, so the visceral receptors, which is what tagline is asking about, are primarily, what is that? Pressure and stretch receptors, not true pain receptors. They go to the midbrain and then to the insula. Okay. Uh-oh. Okay, okay. And then Berrigan asks the question. And tagline, this is from peritonitis, or evisceration. And pressure receptors are called pasinian corpuscles. Okay. I think Berrigan, you want to put yours in again? If you meant to be a serious question. She's a little miff that you haven't noticed her clothing. So Berrigan asked the question this time. I have a pretty specific question from Berrigan. What area of the brain does snorting crushed antero affect? No distractor. So the answer is, all the stimulants short-circuit the dopamine pathway between the brainstem and the basal ganglia, which is why she's so interested in the basal ganglia and would like to develop this part of this brain. That's a question. A good question. Is the part of the brain that controls shopping bigger in women than in men? Or maybe it's the part of the brain that inhibits shopping impulses and Osengar reminds us they've shown that the London taxi drivers have a normally large hippocampi and when they stop driving the hippocampi shrink again. Carry the map in their brain. Yes, that's been a very classic study. Blame is the behavior of excess wanting. That's an interesting statement. So anonymous asking Osengar to explain that statement. That blame is excess wanting. Osengar says, I don't know but it's the main recourse of alcoholics. I am mindful of the time here. I know this was originally set for an hour and there's so much here. Chantel, what do you think? To you makes the point there's alcoholism. Yeah, Osengar would like to know if anybody can help her getting texture on these hemispheres or knows of somebody who might be able to help her please contact her because it's been an issue to be able to get this developed and she'd like to show this as a next step in what she's doing here, evolution of what she's doing here. So if anybody is interested in helping with that it would be wonderful for her. Please just I am her. Would you like to make this more like a real brain? Mr. Berrigan announces the next on the 29th of December, I assume a science circle presentation on gene editing that he will moderate and everyone is invited. Okay, Osengar, we'll work on that. We'll continue to work on mapping rodman areas to the mesh model. Well, I'll need access to typically textures are designed in conjunction with the mesh model at the same time so if you do not have the original mesh file that we can work on this may be very difficult but we can probably come up with something. Yes, such a curious and interested group it's always wonderful to have you here at Inspiration Island we'll probably have a physics day coming up in the early spring here too.


How to make a narcissist regret losing you. The narcissist manipulated you. They devalued you. They cheated. They lied. They future faked. They stole from you. And you just want them to recognize the pain that they caused you. You want them to recognize what they have done. I get it. I understand. You want them to feel something. Just as you would feel something for them. But you shouldn't really care about what they think. It should be enough that you know they're a narcissist. You know they're toxic. You know they're no good for you. And they're not going to change.  But you want them to feel something. Because they've never shown any empathy. They've never given you their feelings, emotions or sympathies. They've always been cold. They've always lacked affection and warmth. But the truth is they're never going to feel anything for you or anyone else. Because they're not able to feel anything for anyone other than themselves. But you can get them to react. Because they're highly reactive. They're always scanning the environment for threats. And they're hypersensitive to any changes in their surroundings. So to get them to react. You need to use reverse psychology. You need to encourage your desired behaviour or belief. By advocating its opposite. You may have a desired outcome or result in mind. But you need to use reverse psychology for that to happen. And this all starts by understanding the narcissist's mind. They're very sensitive to criticism. They don't like it. So you have to do the opposite of what they expect you to do. To get them to feel guilty. Which is manipulation. You're tricking the narcissist into doing something for you. Because that's the only way you're going to get them to respond. No matter how much they see you miserable and depressed. They're not going to care. They're not going to consider your point of view. Because they don't know how to understand other people's emotions. So they're just going to take pleasure in your pain. It's going to bring them amusement and enjoyment. To see you suffering. They're not going to feel bad for you. Even if you get angry. They're just going to get angry at you. It's just going to make the situation worse. The only way for you to win. Is by not responding. By not showing any emotion. Because then they won't know where you are in the mind. They're constantly looking for clues. To how you feel in your reactions. They're always watching your body language and facial expressions. So that they can be two steps ahead of you. Because they have their own agenda. They have their own things that they need. So you're not a concern to them. The only way that you can become a concern to them. Is by not giving them a reaction. And you don't need to react. Because you already know they're a narcissist. You already know what they're trying to do. And when you go silent. They will know that something is wrong. Because they really need your attention. They can't live without it. So it will make them react. But they're never going to see your perspective. They're never going to understand how you feel. But you can take your power back. By withdrawing from all forms of communication. By realizing that they don't feel bad for what they do. They don't feel bad for anyone. They only care about themselves. They only care about getting what they need. And that's the only reason why they got involved with you in the first place. They never cared about you. They were only thinking about themselves. And as long as they get what they want. They're not going to care. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful, please give it a thumbs up. Share your thoughts in the comment section.
