Starring Joel McRae as Ranger Jayce Pearson. And of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers. Places in the following story are fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record. When Thursday rolls around, it'll bring more top radio entertainment to you over these NBC stations. Thursday starts right off in high gear with Robert Young starring as heroic and harassed Jim Anderson of Father Knows Best. The Anderson's are just like your family, but funnier, for the head of the household can get himself involved in situations that take the concerted effort of wife and progeny to get unraveled.  For adventure fans, Thursday holds the promise of top mystery listening also, as NBC presents Mr. Keane, Tracer of Lost Persons, who matches his deductive reasoning against the violence and murder of crime. Here join Jack Webb as Sergeant Joe Friday of Dragnet, the true story of your police force in action. Father Knows Best, Mr. Keane, Tracer of Lost Persons, hear all these and more Thursdays on NBC. Now back to tales of the Texas Rangers. Tales of the Texas Rangers, the case called Blood Trail. It is 7.30 on a Saturday evening in July, 1929. For a week an oppressive blanket of heat and dust has surrounded the town of Whitney in the Texas Panhandle. Despite the unpleasant weather, however, Whitney is enjoying its usual Saturday night activity as Sheriff Dave Fellows strolls down Main Street. Red, you're stubborn as a mule. Oh, howdy, Sheriff. Howdy, Harry. You having trouble? Oh, just a little argument with the Red. Another one. Please, just plumb stubborn. Won't admit nothing. Well, what won't he admit this time? Well, it's like this. I've been living here Whitney 40 years now.  I say this is the hottest July since August 2. And Red says different, huh? Red says just hotter the summer of 18. I say 18 won't near as hot. Now, what do you say, Sheriff? Now, Harry, you know I make a practice of never taking sides in an argument. But if you want the facts, well, I just come to my office. Weather report on my desk says it's the hottest July in 65 years. I know it. I sure wish I was wrong, though. If this heat don't let up, I'm going to be a poor man. Don't look like nobody's going to make a crop. Yeah, everybody seems to be worried. I can't remember when. Hey, who's that over there, Sheriff? Where? Oh, Yonder. Coming toward the drugstore. Uh-oh, looks like a drunk. I better get on over there. He sure got a snoop. Hey, Sheriff, ain't that old Doc Thomas? Doc Thomas? Yeah. You all right, Harry? I didn't know Doc was a drinking man. Say, he got office hours till 7. I don't tell you. You better help me get him off the street. People are starting to look at him. I'm sure. Who'd have thought that old Doc would take... Sheriff, he's walking out in the street. He'll get here. Doc, look out! Doc, look out! I hope he ain't hit bad. Maybe not. The car just ran out. There, boy. Move into it, then. Yeah. Now, help him out. He's hurt bad. Hey, why don't you both call Dr. Pioz and tell him to hurry? Right, Sheriff. We'll do it. Give me a hand, Harry. We'll get him up onto the sidewalk. Sure. Easy now. Get him out of here. I reckon this was the first time he ever took a drink. This had to happen. All right, folks. Move back. Will you give us some room here? All right. Now, set him right down here, Harry. Easy now. Yeah. There we are. Did you hear that? Yeah. Oh, and blood. I didn't think that car hit him that hard. Yeah, it didn't. Look at his shirt. It's soaked. He's been bleeding a long time. You mean when he was staggering down the street, he was already hurt? It appears that way. From a look of it, somebody gave the dog an awful whack on the head. But who wanted to do that to Old Doc Thomas? I don't know. But I'm afraid we're not going to find out from him. Doc Thomas is dead. It was easy for the sheriff to trace Dr. Thomas' path before he was hit by the car. Drops of blood on the sidewalk led directly to the doctor's office on the side street, four blocks from the scene of his death. The sheriff called for a Texas ranger. Ranger Jase Pearson was assigned joining the sheriff outside the doctor's office at five o'clock Sunday morning. Sorry I couldn't get here sooner, Sheriff. Austin told me you were the nearest ranger, Jase. But they said you were quite a piece away. Yeah, which is how it falls. I reckon you'd like to take a look at his office first. This is the waiting room. Not much to see here. It's the office that'll give you a shock. You know what the actual cause of death was, yeah? Loss of blood. Had a skull fracture, too. Haven't found what he was hit with, though. Look at there, Jase. Some mess. Not a stick of furniture left in one piece. Look out for that broken glass. Never would have thought old Doc Thomas could put up such a fight. Didn't he ever have a nurse here with him? No, I figure he couldn't afford it. Treated everybody rich or poor the doc did and didn't mind waiting to be paid. Did he have any money on him when he died? I don't believe it was robbery, Jase. He had about 15 bucks in his pocket. Uh-huh. The phone's ripped out. Looks like he was trying to call somebody. Maybe not. Could have been tore out during the fight. I don't think so. The cord's out of the way of any furniture that got pushed over. And look at the way the wires are torn. I'd say somebody meant to pull them out of the wall. One thing I don't understand. If the fella that had this fight with Doc wasn't after money, he probably meant to kill him. Sounds likely enough. Well, then why didn't he? The way the doc was weaving when I saw him, it would have been a cinch for the killer to catch him before he ever got to Main Street. I think this will answer your question, Sheriff. That spot had dried blood. Oh, but how, Jase? There's blood spots all over the office and some in the waiting room. None as large as this. From the size of it, he must have been lying here at least a few minutes. Could be, got knocked unconscious.  Then you figured the doc came too, got up and staggered downtown, huh? Yeah. Now, the fight must have made quite a racket. Any of the neighbors hear anything? Ah, I checked that. People on both sides were out. Downtown for the evening. You looking for something special, Jase? Yeah. And I've got it. Doc's appointment book. Hmm. Only one appointment after five o'clock. 6.30, Carl Hinkle. You know him, Sheriff? Sure. German fella. Lived here about 10 years. I guess he was... Hey, wait a minute. I think we're on to something, Jase. How do you mean? Carl Hinkle's wife. The doc delivered her baby about six weeks ago. Mrs. Hinkle died right after the baby was born. I've heard around town that Carl blamed the doc for her dying. I see. Where does Hinkle live? Not far from here. Over near the Santa Fe depot. Come on, Sheriff. Let's wake him up and have a talk with him. It was 6.10 when we reached Carl Hinkle's home. It was a small but neat frame house running the railroad tracks. Nobody answered our knocks, so we walked around to the back door. Hinkle was washing something out in a laundry tub on the porch. He was a big blonde man who looked at us solidly as we walked toward him. Morning, Carl. Good morning. Carl, this is Ranger Pearson. He and I would like to talk to you. Well, and show the incident a bit. I'd tie my hands. Pretty early be doing washing, isn't it, Mr. Hinkle? Yeah, I wash for the baby. Some of your own clothes there, too, aren't there? I wash for myself, too. You always do the baby clothes yourself, Carl? Nobody does for the baby but me. My wife is dead, so I got to do for the baby. Mr. Hinkle, did you visit Dr. Thomas last night? Oh, yeah. Why? Oh, with money. I go to pay him. Every week I pay a little. Do you usually make an appointment just to pay him money? No. But you made a special appointment last night. Why? Well, I have an ache in my leg. I asked the doctor to fix it. So, why do you ask me these questions? Somebody murdered the doctor last night. Murdered? He was killed just about the time you were in his office. But I didn't do it. We're not saying you did, Carl. Yeah, but that's what you mean.  Mr. Hinkle, your wife died while she was under Dr. Thomas' care. Did you blame him for her death? He should have been more careful. No, I'm left with an empty house and an empty heart. If he'd been more careful, this wouldn't be.  I went in there for the ache in my leg. What are you giving us, Carl? You went to get treated by a man you didn't trust? Well, with my wife, he made the mistake. For this, you'll be with me twice careful. You know, Mr. Hinkle, you were the last person to see the doctor before he was attacked. No, I was not. Then who was? When I come from the office, a man sits in the waiting room. You know who this man was? Yeah, sure. I've seen him many times. Mr. Horner. He must mean Tim Horner, Jason. Cowhand on Jim Ford Ranch. Yeah, yeah, that's the one. He goes into the doctor when I leave. All right, Mr. Hinkle, we'll check your story. But if it doesn't hold up, we'll be back to ask you some more questions. Let's go, Sheriff. We drove out to the Ford Ranch with a small place that had seen better days. The ranch house needed a coat of paint. Some rusty farm machinery leaned against the side of the barn and an old jalopy sat next to the house. In a corner of the barnyard, a Mexican was hammering some crates together. As we approached, he started kicking at some chickens, which pecked around his feet. How do you make a hole? Good morning, gentlemen. Chickens, they're always on the floor. One cannot even do the work. Can I help you, Senor? Is Mr. Ford around? No, Senor is with the cattle. But he's going to be here any minute now. We're looking for a man named Tim Horner. Is he with Mr. Ford? I'm pretty sorry, Senor. I only come to the ranch for yesterday to help Senor Ford with the boxes. There is one man who works with Senor Ford, but I don't know his name. Big fella, about the size of the ranger here got black hair. Yeah, yeah, that's the fellow. Yesterday afternoon, I see him. What about this morning? No, no, Senor, this morning when I come to drink the coffee, he's not here. When Senor Ford goes out to the cattle, he's still not here. Karaj, make him very angry. Oh, yes, yes, yes. When this man, he is not there. Oh, Senor Ford, he corse, and swear, and he... Oh, oh, oh, there. Here's Senor Ford. He's going to tell you about this. Oh, yeah, oh, boy. Hey, howdy, Jim. Howdy, Sheriff. Morning, Ranger. What can I do for you? We're looking for that hand of yours, Jim Horner. Well, I reckon that makes three of us. When I find him, I'm going to break him in half. The only hand I've got, and he walks out on me, just when I need him most. When did you see him last, Mr. Ford? Oh, yesterday evening. He asked me if he could go into town. I said, sure, if he'd be back here at daybreak this morning, he ain't showed up. Don't reckon he will, neither. What makes you think that? I'll check the place where he sleeps. All this stuff's gone. Look, I'm going to go over on the porch where we can sit and be comfortable. Take care of the house, Jose. Yes, yes. I know I do, but... After all I've done for that boy, Tim Horner, now when I only need him a day or so longer, he takes off. Are you moving somewhere, Mr. Ford? I'm selling out, Ranger. Locks, Stock and Bell. Well, I didn't know that, Jim. I ain't said much about it. The figure had about all I want, a rancher. The party's been after me a long time to sell in the place. He said, yeah, I'm going to take it easy from now on. When Tim Horner left you yesterday, was he sick? Sick?  He was just lazy, that's all. How come you're so anxious to find out about Tim? A doctor in town by the name of Thomas who was murdered last night. Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard about old Doc Thomas. It's too bad. We're a fine fella. Uh, what's that got to do with Tim? We're pretty sure Tim was in his office just about the time Doc was slugged. That's all. You think, uh, you think maybe Tim was the one who killed him? We don't know yet. But he's skipping out. It's not going to help him, any. No, I reckon it will. You just never know, do you? Now, who would have thought a boy I had working for me was a killer? Well, I sure hope you find them. We will. Come on, Sheriff. Let's get back to town. On the way to town, I radioed Austin and requested an all-points bulletin on Tim Horner. Then the Sheriff and I started combing the countryside. The rest of Sunday passed without any luck. Early Monday morning, I stopped at the Sheriff's office to pick him up. Good morning, Jayce. Howdy. We didn't get an awful lot of sleep last night, did we? We'll make up for it after we get Tim Horner. Yeah, but when that's going to be, I don't know. It appears like he just plain disappeared. That's one thing people can't do, Sheriff. Sometimes they take a little longer to find, but sooner or later they turn up. You ready to get moving? As soon as I finish marking these last two reports. You know, it just beats me, Jayce.  Don't guess we'll know that till we find Tim. Well, I reckon I'm ready. Where do you want to start today? How about the Stony Creek section? It suits me by just a minute, Jayce. Sheriff, fellas. Yeah? You did? Where? Yeah. Yeah, we'll take care of it. Well, you were right. Tim Horner's been found. Good. Am I bringing him in? Uh-uh. We have to go get him. He's dead.

Tim Horner's body had been located 10 miles out in the brush by two boys on a camping trip. We drove within a mile of the spot where a highway patrolman was waiting with the boys. The youngsters pointed out where they'd found the body. We left them with the patrolman and then took horses the rest of the way.  That's something we'll know pretty quick. There's the three big boulders, Jace, just like those kids said. Yeah, must have been their campfire off to the left. Ooh, ooh, Chucky. It sure is a wild spot. Hadn't been for those kids, we might never have found it. Uh-huh. Should be right around this middle boulder from what those kids said. Jace. Yeah. Pull that brush away from him, Sheriff. All right. That's the man we've been looking for? It's Tim Horner, all right. Shot twice through the chest. At close range. Look at the powder burns. Let's turn him over. Uh-huh. Well, we can be sure of one thing, Sheriff. He didn't kill himself. How do you figure that? No blood on the ground, so he wasn't shot here. Whoever did it carried him out here after he was dead. You sure went into a lot of trouble? Probably figured it was with it. Almost was, too. See what you can find in his pocket. All right. Wallet. A little bit of money, isn't it? Hey, Jace, look at this. Box of pills. Freckin' Tim was ailing after all. Could be. Yeah, but Jim Ford said Tim hadn't been sick. Jim Ford could have been wrong. It's a cinch there's a tie-in between this murder and Doc Thomas getting killed. If we find out what kind of an ailment Tim had, we might get a lead. But how do you figure to do that? Tim ain't gonna do any talking now. Maybe he will, Sheriff. What's on your mind? Autopsy. Let's get movin'. We got a lot to do. We got Tim Horner's body into Whitney at one that afternoon and requested the county medical examiner to make a rush autopsy. He told us to wait in the pathology lab of the hospital. A little less than an hour later he joined us. Well, gentlemen, must say I've never done such a quick job. I'm sorry, doctor, but it's necessary. I dare say it is. If it helps find out who killed old John Thomas, I'll do anything. What'd you find out, Doc? Hey, careful, Sheriff. I don't want to break this slide. I want to make a preliminary examination and I can tell you one thing, definitely. What's that? Tim Horner died sometime Saturday night. Probably before midnight. Why, that'd be only a few hours after Doc Thomas died. Anything else, doctor? Yeah. Tim was a pretty sick boy even before he died. What was wrong with him, Doc? I'm gonna tell you in a minute as soon as I examine this slide under the microscope. You got an idea of what it was, Doc? Uh-huh. On this slide is a section of the dead man's spleen. It was very badly diseased. It could mean any number of things. Didn't I get it set here? Yep. Yes, I thought so, but I wanted to be sure. You know what it was now? It was anthrax. Anthrax? But that's a cattle disease. Also found in man, contracted from sick stock and from contaminated ground. Does that help your angel? Maybe. It might just clear up our whole case. I don't follow you, Jayce. I'll explain on the way. Thanks, doctor. You're welcome. Jayce, where are we going? Out to Jim Ford's ranch. Jim Ford? You think he's the man we're after? Look at it this way, Sheriff. If Tim Horner had anthrax, chances are he got it from sick cattle. Maybe from burying him at the place where he worked. You mean Jim Ford's cattle are sick with anthrax? It won't take long to find out, but I think they are. Say, that could explain why Jim was so anxious to sell out all of a sudden. Right. Why, he couldn't let anybody discover his stock was sick. Otherwise it'd have to be destroyed and he'd lose everything. So the way you figured it, Tim knew the cattle had anthrax. But he didn't know he had it. Until he saw Doc Thomas. And once Doc knew there was anthrax around, he was bound to report it. Well, how would Jim find out about that? Could be, he picked up Tim at the Doc's office. Found out he had anthrax. And that might be why he had to kill both the Doc and Tim to keep him quiet. Something like that. Now I understand why you're pushing that accelerator so hard. Jim would be anxious to get his money for the property as soon as possible and then beat it. If he hasn't already. Well, suppose he is gone. Let's find out first. Jim's old jelop ain't here. It could be a good sign. He said he was selling out lock, stock and barrel. And I doubt if he'd try to make a getaway in that thing. Maybe he's in town or somewhere closing the deal for the ranch. It'll take long to be sure. Let's try the door. Looks like the bedroom's back this way. Don't appear like he's taken much with him if he has gone. Yeah, but if he's skipped, he's probably traveling light. I... Sheriff, listen. What is it, Jay? Sounds like that jalopy of his coming up the road. You don't think he's coming down? No. Let's get outside. We want to take him alive. Don't shoot unless you have to, Sheriff. What he did to old Doc Thomas, shooting's too good for him. Oh, that ain't Jim at all. It's Jose. What is this, senority? Where's Mr. Ford, Jose? He made a big deal. Senor Ford get money for the ranch. So much money. I never... Where is he? I take him to the railroad. So he can wait for the train. Which train? Do one that goes that way. North? That's the limited. What time does it leave with me? 4.32. And it's 4.15 now. Come on, Sheriff. We're going to catch a train. I don't know if we can make it, Jay. She's just pulling out. Come on. I don't think we'll catch her. We'll make it. Good. Hey, Porter, don't close those doors. Hold it. Grab for that railing, Sheriff. Got it! You know, this ain't the easiest way to board a train. Keeps you young, Sheriff. You ready to go? Yep. Well, he's not in this car, Jason. We'll try him all. I sure hope Jose didn't give us a bum steer. Somehow, I don't think he did. There's a diner up ahead. We haven't eaten since morning. Better not to think about it. That food sure smells good. Jason? Yeah. Looks like Jim Ford got hungry, too. His back's to us. We move in and take it. No. Talk to him first. I'll get the table. Come on. Howdy, Jim. What? Mind if we join you, Mr. Ford? Well, no. Sit down. Didn't know you fellas were traveling nice. Neither did we either a few minutes ago. How about you, Mr. Ford? Well, me, I sold my ranch like I said I was going to do. I don't mean to get nosy, Jim, but how much did you take for the ranch? What am I telling the chef? 16,000.  What are you talking about, Ranger? Tim Horner had anthrax. He got it from your cattle. Why are you all crazy? Not as crazy as you for thinking you could get away with killing Doc Thomas and Tim Horner. But can you prove that, Ranger? I think so. And we'll start with this. Hey, what are you doing? Just taking the gun out of your shoulder holster. So big I couldn't miss it. Well, Ranger, you got my gun.  I won't have to. We got a ballistics lab for that. And while we're waiting for the lab report, you'll cool your heels in jail. Oh. On what charge? You can't hold me until you get some proof. That's right. And in the meantime, we're holding you for carrying a concealed weapon in a public place. Who are you? Take it easy, Ford. You'll get off soon enough. Then you take another little trip that ends in Huntsville. In just a moment, we will tell you the results of the case you have just heard. There's more good radio-listening Wednesday night on NBC.

Ten months later, he confessed to the killing of Dr. John Thomas with a paperweight from the doctor's desk. Jim Ford died in Huntsville Penitentiary of a kidney disease on June 17, 1930, just 20 days before he was due to go to the electric chair. Next week, Joel McCray and another authentic re-enactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers.

This is Hal Gibney speaking. Starting Wednesday, Robert Montgomery tells how a citizen views the news over NBC.


Hi, I'm Matthew Coase and in today's video, we're going to talk about six courtship rules that I think all women should probably know. And if this is your first time to our channel, make sure that you hit the subscribe button on the bottom right hand side of this video in order to get more videos on how to have the relationship that you've always wanted. So let's get started. Six courtship rules. So we, there used to be this book out there called the rules. Maybe you have heard of it. Maybe you've seen it back in the 1990s. It was like the book to have for women on dating.  I think those rules are outdated. Not only are they outdated, I think that some of them aren't really very good from the beginning. And a lot of guys know about these rules now. And so they're much, much less impactful, I think on guys who are knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. Maybe for some older couples and guys that don't really know about this stuff, haven't really done the research on it. But I know a lot of guys have. And I know personally a lot of guys who have. So let's talk about some rules that I think that might be better anyway for you to follow if you want a long term committed relationship with the guy. So rule number one is that you should encourage a man to chase you and pursue you. So there's kind of this big myth out there that you should do this thing where you act like you're disinterested in a guy or uninterested or that you shouldn't show them that you like them or something like that. And I just think that's really, really bad advice.  And so if you want a guy to chase and pursue you, he has to feel like you like them. And so you have to show them that you like them. And another thing that goes along with this is giving him things to pursue you with, right? So a big part of why a man commits to a woman is investment.   So rule number two is something that's called mirroring. I think you should do mirroring with a guy. So if a guy pulls away, this is one of the biggest mistakes that a lot of women make is that when a guy pulls away or he's got something else going on or whatever, women tend to move forward, right? They tend to end up chasing a guy. They end up kind of moving into that space that was kind of created when a guy pulled back. And if you do that, you're more likely to just keep pushing him away. It's like two magnets or maybe gravitational pulls, you move close, it moves further away, he will move further away if you do that. And so instead, what you want to do is mirroring, which is just mirror how much he's putting in there, his interest level. So if he's pulling back or if he's doing something where he's not fully engaged, instead of moving forward, you need to relax and lean back and let him have some space. That'll be such a better way of doing things than moving forward there. So rule number three is creating a life for yourself, creating control for yourself. So one of the biggest mistakes that a lot of women make is they end up, they do this thing where they say they give their all to a relationship and a man ends up taking them for granted after that. And what they end up really doing is they end up making their happiness, making their love, making their feelings of basically all their feelings reliant on this relationship or this man that they're in this relationship with. And I think you'll do a lot better if you focus on creating, making yourself a priority, if you focus on making yourself happy, making yourself enjoy life. Then instead of it being this kind of almost like parasitic relationship where you're just latching onto this guy and getting all of your needs met through him, you can actually experience a lot of this stuff for yourself. And then when he comes to the relationship, he'll feel like he needs to step up in order to really be a part of that with you. Rule number four is to have some mystery about you. And you know, there's a lot of kind of tactical ways to do this, but I think that the best way to have mystery, and if you haven't heard being having mystery to you is really, really attractive for men. And so if you want to have that sense of mystery about you, instead of doing like kind of tactical game playing type stuff, my suggestion is that you step into your femininity, right? Because being feminine is incredibly mysterious to a guy. Being masculine, you know, doing masculine things is not mysterious to a guy because a guy gets that stuff. And it's not even attractive to a guy. And being feminine is incredibly attractive and mysterious and awesome in so many different ways to a guy. And I think you're much better off going that direction of to create mystery and intrigue than you are playing games or doing anything else. Rule number five is to not have sex with him until he's starting to fall in love with you. So there's a lot of different like rules out there. I think the fine style, the fine, the rules, the book, they had like three dates or something like that. That's a horrible rule. And then there's like the Steve Harvey rule, which is like the 90 day rule, which is another just horribly, horribly horrible rule. Instead, a good rule to have would be to wait until he's getting emotionally invested in you. So he's opening, opening up, and he's connecting with you in an emotional way. And he's building that his level of attraction and desire goes into a deeper emotional investment in you. And so when he starts doing that, he'll start to fall in love with you. And that's when it's a better time to have sex with him because you're much less likely to end up just a casual relationship to him. Whereas if you're you sleep with him before he's really invested emotionally, you're much more likely to end up just being in some kind of friend with benefits relationship that you can't get out of. So rule number six is to encourage a man to be who he is and really stop trying to change him. This is one of the another one of the biggest nightmares that men have is women coming in and trying to make him act different, trying to make him be different. A lot of women kind of justify this by being like, I'm trying to help him grow and be a better man. Well, you know, who he is as a better man isn't up to you. It's up to him.  And instead of trying to change me to be who you want me to be, how about you encourage me to grow into who I'm trying to become, which is what really men, which is a thing that men can really fall in love with, is you connecting with him and believing in him, not falling in love with this kind of image of him in the future, but, you know, accepting him for who he is and believing in him and showing him that you believe that he can become that man that he wants to become instead of trying to change him into becoming the man that you want him to become.

Hello people of the internet. My name is Johnny and welcome to what is going to be a very exciting week today We're gonna be taking a look at a whole bunch of FNAF movie news tomorrow We got some more just regular FNAF news to talk about and if you remember a couple of videos ago We took a look at that leaked security breach TV teaser, which I mean April 6th is coming up And that was a date that was on the website So probably gonna get some ruin news later in the week too So just a whole bunch of stuff happening this week And then somehow I also got to find the time to make a video on that brand new pop-goes game that came out Which we're gonna talk a bit more about in tomorrow's video But like I said at the start today's video is all about news regarding the upcoming FNAF movie because believed or not It actually finished filming yesterday and with that let's just hop right into the news if you're brand new Don't forget to scroll down give that sub button a little tickle And yes yesterday was the last day of filming for the FNAF movie today We got actress Kat Connor Sterling who has been cast as Max in the film posting a few behind the scenes images in celebration for filming Finally concluding and then we also had Matthew Lillard himself William Afton in the FNAF movie posting to his Instagram Not only with his signature quote of I always come back But also with hashtag finish strong confirming He's also now done shooting all his scenes for the film and since filming has now concluded now They're gonna be moving on to post-production Editing VFX a whole bunch of stuff involving marketing like posters and teasers and trailers post production is a very long process It'll most likely take several months, but if there are any brand new updates I'll be sure to let you know as for new cast members We've got Ryan Reineke cast as Freddy's security guard, which is pretty interesting as I'm sure we all are aware at this point We got Mike Schmidt being played by Josh Hutcherson who is going to be the main night guard at Freddy's However, Ryan's role is still very interesting a lot of people are speculating He could be the night guard before Mike takes the job at Freddy's and kind of in a similar fashion to the screen franchise If you've seen those movies he's gonna be the opening kill during the film That would be absolutely phenomenal to kick off the movie with some people are also thinking if he is the night guard before Mike He could also be the phone guy I know a lot of people would love to see Scott Cawthon reprise his role in the film if phone guy does make an Appearance, but right now that's just not confirmed. Yeah, I'd love to know what are your thoughts on this brand new Freddy's security guard character How do you think they're gonna implement him in the film earlier today? We also got the word that Aaron McClusty has been cast as an 80s newscaster in the film This has led a lot of fans to speculate that the missing children's incident is going to be happening in the film And when the news breaks that kids are going missing at Freddy's Obviously the news station is going to be picking up on that And then of course that leads to Aaron's character of the newscaster Reporting on the story moving on now from cast announcements to brand new crew announcements We got the announcement that BAFTA winning composer Jason Graves has officially joined the crew and just to name off a few titles You might recognize that Jason has walked on for the score. He got Dead Space Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Assassin's Creed Friday the 13th Tomb Raider this guy has basically Done frickin everything and speaking of people who have done basically everything Tyler Bates has also signed on to compose the score for the film Seemingly replacing Michael Whalen by the way who we talked about last time who was doing the Who was composing the score? But like I said Bates has also worked on an incredible amount of films John Wick chapter 4 which had an absolutely insane score went dummy hard Pearl as well as X just to stay on topic of horror films He's also worked on Guardians of the Galaxy like dudes a frickin legend more crew announcements We've got Lynn Monkrieff who was signed on to be the movie cinematographer post recently He worked on Blumhouse's absolutely smash hit Megan vengeance as well the wind which fun fact was a film that actually Emma Tammy was the director of who is also the director of the FNAF movie So they've got some chemistry already composer Bruce Babcock has also signed on providing additional keyboards on Mike Schmidt's theme which is very interesting seems like Mike's going to be getting his very own theme tune whenever he pops up on the screen, which is just going to be absolutely fantastic Especially if they remix one of the tunes that he gets in sister location A lot of people have been theorizing they're going to be doing that that'd be amazing And lastly for movie news you may have seen that doco razz ryan and baz all posted videos sharing their experience While on the set of the FNAF movie They weren't able to show off any actual footage of them on the set just yet But they did drop in little hints here and there about some very exciting news and brand new details regarding the film One of the big things that caught my attention was that the core for animatronics of freddy bonnie chica and foxy All have full-scale robot animatronics made for their characters However, there are still most likely going to be some people doing some action work in suits of the characters For some movements that robots just can't do especially most likely when they go around walking around at night However, the boys did also mention that the robots themselves are very very full of expressions Which is absolutely amazing to hear. They said they look very accurate to the games Which is also very exciting the show stage from the FNAF one location is also present and looks identical Identical to what it looks like in the FNAF one trailer with all the clouds and the speakers Apparently there's a a show stage button two much like from help wanted Apparently the tables and the chairs in the dining room were moved around a little bit for a very specific scene So something's going to be going down in the dining hall Apparently they've also got a prize counter in the pizzeria Most likely it's going to be based off the one in help wanted and not the prize counter in fNAF two Though apparently there are some areas that are just taken right from fNAF two and even some of the books Which is pretty weird to think about I wonder how they're going to incorporate some of those How important those locations are going to be in the in the in the film speaking of locations in the fNAF one pizzeria They did confirm a kitchen. We will be seeing a kitchen, which is very exciting news We haven't properly seen the kitchen besides that one uh chica minigame and help wanted It also got the hallways the bathrooms the supply closet where bonnie goes in even the parts and service room Which is apparently now right behind the stage and there are in fact little corridors that connect all the rooms in the pizzeria And apparently according to razz something goes down in that parts and service room taking note of a Very cool scene that happens in there razz also talked about the office quite a bit confirming the celebrate posters in there The fan as well has made his debut in the fNAF movie in that office The computer monitors are all accurate from the first games Apparently there's also a slight twist with something in the office We're not entirely sure what that detail is just yet, but it's apparently specifically for the film Apparently the cameras and the doors in the office are quite important to the plot being used quite heavily in the film Most likely just because I mean, let's be honest. Yeah, that's the main gameplay of fNAF one checking the cameras closing the doors Razz thankfully mentions the story of the film is very satisfying specifically saying obviously it's changed But it's the same story, you know in love, but it has been altered also pointing out that mic and uh Vanessa's character being played by lisbeth leil have quite a lot of scenes together in mic's uh character arc Is in fact quite emotional in the film sticking with some character descriptions razz describes abbey as a light hearted vulnerable character And one that will blow us away apparently Vanessa is used very well in the film as well And also has a very strong emotional arc There's apparently a lot of east rags in the film for us fNAF fans to look out for so that's going to be very exciting The animatronics going back to them are very very tall Accurate to the games and apparently freddy's going to sing at one point And finally for what the boy said about the film, which by the way, I will leave all four of their videos linked down in the description They finally mentioned that blumhouse is planning some reveal for the characters and by characters I mean the animatronics pretty soon But that is all of the very exciting brand new details and information regarding the upcoming fNAF movie Hopefully you all enjoyed all of this just has me absolutely stoked for the film I can't wait to see what the animatronics look like I do wonder when we're going to get that reveal from blumhouse about the characters And now that they're actually done filming and post production is starting up very soon I wouldn't be shocked if we won't have to wait too much longer for a movie poster or again Those reveals of the animatronics, but that's going to be it for this video Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye


Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This evening we have come to listen to Professor Peter Tyler's inaugural lecture. I would like to welcome you visitors and friends of St. Mary's. I would also like to extend a particular welcome to Peter's family and close friends who have joined us for this occasion. You are all most welcome. Professor Peter Tyler is Professor of Pastoral Theology and Spirituality. He is also Director of Inspire, the Centre for Initiatives in Spirituality and Reconciliation. But behind these titles lies a life of academic, professional and human learning, which we are celebrating this evening. In terms of his academic life Professor Tyler is a leader in his field and quite prolific in his output. Since 2010 he has authored or co-edited six publications, Picturing the Soul, Previsioning Psychotherapy in Spiritual Direction, Trisa of Avila, Doctor of the Soul, The Bloomsbury Guide to Christian Spirituality, The Return to the Mystical, St. John of the Cross, Outstanding Christian Thinker and Sources of Transformation, Revitalizing Christian Spirituality. He is also co-editor of a new journal for Psycho-Spiritual Formation. Within this time frame he has also contributed more than 20 articles or book chapters to a range of publications. And therefore we can safely say that as an academic he is making a unique and defined contribution to his areas of expertise. Christian mysticism, psychology and spirituality and pastoral theology. In a wider professional context Peter has been a registered psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists for 15 years and he practices locally. His work is at the interface of theology and psychology and he contributes to the current dialogue between spirituality and psychotherapy. This is further practically realized in the work of Inspire. Inspire as a centre has hosted or co-hosted 10 conferences and seminar events since 2011, each with a distinct focus exemplifying the applied nature of the discourse which he is engendering. Topics have included overcoming abuse in church and society the challenges of mental health ministry the legacy of Ecclesiom Suam the soul, Trisa of Avila and psychoanalysis. Ladies and gentlemen it is usually said on occasions like these that Professor X will leave their mark in University Y. And tonight, ladies and gentlemen in Peter's case that is literally so. For as you walked in here this evening you will have passed in the reception area a small peace garden which Peter was instrumental in designing. Peter recommended to the university that we should also place a statue of St. Francis in the centre of the garden. He then undertook to get the statue commissioned but when it arrived some, indeed many here in St. Mary's noticed a striking physical resemblance between the staff member who commissioned the statue and St. Francis. It is so much the case that our two receptionists, Tracy and Ashley have renamed the garden Peter's Place. Now ladies and gentlemen we are an open-minded academic environment so we have arranged for the garden to be open on the way out so that you can go in and examine the evidence for yourself. Ladies and gentlemen in conclusion Professor Peter Tyler is an exemplar of what a teacher should be. He integrates a fine intellect with humility, humour and a lightness of touch. He puts people at ease and brings a passion to his job. He has a love of the university and its mission and his authenticity speaks out across all that he does and to all whom he encounters colleagues, students and visitors alike. Peter, we are very proud of you here at St. Mary's and it therefore gives me great privilege and pleasure to introduce you this evening to give your inaugural address. Congratulations. Vice Chancellor Your Grace Ladies and gentlemen Thank you first of all Vice Chancellor I find words I didn't know the story about the Francis Statue so that wasn't it I didn't see that one coming and on behalf of St. Mary's placing this trust and confidence in me and I pledge to continue to develop the pastoral theology and spirituality programs at St. Mary's to benefit all members of society and the church especially the poorest I would also like to thank my colleagues and students at St. Mary's many of whom are here today for making this possible Thank you too to my many friends and family and colleagues who have made the effort to come here today in some cases from some distance like Kensal Rise and places like that I very much appreciate your support and presence both today and throughout the years Finally the lecture is being filmed so I'd like to also welcome all of those who will be watching this on the internet who many of whom couldn't make it tonight for various reasons so you're very welcome as well Looking back at my own intellectual development over the past few decades the best image I can find to describe it is like being caught up in the middle of a conversation between Ludwig Wittgenstein in the left hand corner in the blue corner and Saint Teresa of Avila in the green corner or more generally an attempt to apply the analytical rigor of the Oxford philosophy I learned as an undergraduate to the mysterious twists and turns of Catholic mystical theology which I have explored in the past few decades at times this has been maddening, frustrating exhilarating, ecstatic and unreasonable yet so far it's taught me a great deal about what it is to be a philosopher a theologian a psychologist but primarily how to be a human being trying to make sense of a confused and confusing world from the perspective of faith for tonight's lecture as with so much of my work is about the interface of faith and reason philosophy and theology yet as my chair in pastoral theology I would also want to apply this debate to practical concerns of pastoral care which I shall do later in this lecture both Wittgenstein and Teresa of Avila were great mavericks rebels and outsiders presumably the appeal to me not just in their lives but in their style of writing half the fun and frustration with working with both is trying to make sense of partly decoded scraps of paper subsequently written all over by well meaning editors associates and literary executors if I have learnt nothing else from this study I have learnt that no one can be assured of their legacy and our fates rest in the hands of our interpreters and heirs accordingly when the choice had to be made as to the subject of this lecture I had to choose one or the other of these two not least because I owe this chair primarily to their help although we have just embarked upon the Terasian 500th anniversary year I chose Wittgenstein as the primary subject for my lecture not just from perversity but because ultimately my approach to Teresa has rested on his revolutionary view of the practice of philosophy and I would say theology as an academic discipline also there are funnier and quirkier anecdotes connected with Wittgenstein which may amuse half the audience who have probably not set foot in an academic lecture hall for many years and I owe it to them to make this evening as pleasant as possible as one of my family has said to me the other week I'm not sure whether they're here tonight I can't understand the title of the lecture so how am I going to understand the lecture itself I shall also try to show you some nice pictures so if you find the lecture tedious you can always enjoy them as an eminent professorial colleague advised me last week on how one should go about the lecture he advised keep it short with plenty of jokes so I shall try to do just that so without further ado I shall begin the lecture entitled The King of the Dark Chamber Ludwig Wittgenstein Rabindranath Tagore and The Mystical Turn and following Indian custom and I'd like to welcome all my Indian visitors tonight I would like to dedicate the lecture to all my teachers and mentors who by their help over the years have made this evening possible some of whom are here tonight and especially my dear departed parents in the summer of 1927 the 38 year old Ludwig Wittgenstein was eventually persuaded by Moritz Schlich professor of philosophy at the University of Vienna to attend his Thursday evening with students and professors who shared an interest in investigating the logical and scientific basis of philosophy what would later evolve into the famous Vienna circle Schlich felt that Wittgenstein was quote one of the greatest geniuses on earth unquote having been one of the first professional philosophers in Vienna to read Wittgenstein's newly published Actatus logical philosophicus and appreciate its enormous significance the meetings were tense and Wittgenstein required a certain amount of careful handling to help him engage with the philosophers gathered to appreciate his every word this is unsurprising having worked with Bertrand Russell at the beginning of the 20th century in Cambridge the problems of philosophical logic at first as his pupil and later effectively as a colleague and rival the young Ludwig had drawn up the essential framework of the Traktatus before enlisting into the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserlich and Königlich army at the outbreak of the great war in 1914 the trauma of the conflict was severe in the extreme very strong son of a sophisticated Viennese Haute Bourgeois family not least because of the stress of having to come into the contact with the type of people his upbringing and station had conspired to insulate him from after surrender capture and incarceration at Monte Cassino Abbey in southern Italy the 30 year old Wittgenstein completed the Traktatus notoriously gnomic final remarks on the mystical Das Mustischer before lapsing into one of the most famous philosophical silences of modern times turning his back on the academy he first sought work as a monastery gardener even at one stage contemplating religious life itself followed by an ultimately doomed attempt pictured here to teach primary school children in the upper Austrian backwaters when Schlich made his approaches Ludwig was effectively doing a form of occupational therapy engaged in the construction of an ultra-modernist and quite stunning house for his sister Gretel in the unfashionable Kundmann Gasse in Vienna here it is this is quite extraordinary you thought it was built last year not 80, 90 years ago Wittgenstein's primary role in the project was to design the windows doors window locks and radiators here we see the entrance hall by the way nowadays part of the Bulgarian cultural attaché you can go around it's well worth a visit the ceiling of this Wittgenstein famously raised by three centimetres just before the building was about to be finished much to the annoyance of everybody on site and here is one of the I told you there were lots of quirky anecdotes and here is one of the radiators that he took a year it took a year to make and the parts had to be brought specially from outside of Austria his sister was delighted with the radiators I think it was a part of the house she liked the most because in the summer she could put her obje d'art on top of the radiators she was very impressed by that so Wittgenstein was developing in other directions hence his reluctance to be drawn once again to a professional philosophical discussion if he had been somewhat idiosyncratic in his communication techniques in the past from now on he would display an unusual turn of pedagogy that bordered on the eccentric consequently we can imagine the surprise of the great and good of Vienna when one of the greatest philosophical geniuses on earth would during the meeting only assembled professors and recite to them the poetry of the Bengali noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore a contemporary of Wittgenstein's Rudolf Carnap in his reminiscences of these meetings suggests that quote I sometimes had the impression that the deliberately rational and unemotional attitude of the scientist and likewise any ideas of the flavour of enlightenment were repugnant to Wittgenstein taking this unusual turn as my starting point I would like to use the opportunity of this lecture to suggest an interpretation of why Wittgenstein may have behaved in this way including along the way an exploration of some of the ideas of Tagore and why he should have held such an appeal to Wittgenstein I shall then use Wittgenstein's approach to rational discourse in general as a springboard for representing my understanding of the role of pastoral theology in the contemporary academy as heir to what I will call the medieval mystical theology I shall conclude by outlining the importance of Wittgenstein's turn to the future practices of the academy in particular those in the arena of theology so the next section Wittgenstein and Tagore two sentinels on the borderlands of modernity in a letter to Paul Engelman written on the 23rd of October 1921 Wittgenstein expressed his disapproval of one of Tagore's works the short play The King of the Dark Chamber he wrote concerning it it seems to me as if all that wisdom has come out of the ice box I should not be surprised to learn that he got it all second hand by reading and listening exactly as so many of us acquire their knowledge of Christianity rather than from his own genuine feeling perhaps I don't understand his tone to me it does not ring like the tone of a man possessed by the truth he goes on to suggest in the letter that Tagore may have suffered from a weak translation something Wittgenstein would correct himself a decade later by attempting his own translation or indeed that the fault may lie within Wittgenstein himself this letter alone goes some way to furnishing an explanation of why Ludwig was to inflict the Bengali's writings on the bemused members of the Vienna circle a few years later it was as though Wittgenstein himself was trying to come to terms with Tagore's writings and make sense of how they should be incorporated or not into his own interwar search for the truth which would include amongst others his study of Soren Kierkegaard Fyodor Dostoevsky Tolstoy Oswald Spengler and James Fraser Reflections upon all of whom can be found in his interwar writings and interestingly enough I've also recently found a tantalisingly brief mention of him having read Saint Teresa of Avila during this time I haven't got any more on that at the moment waiting for the document to turn up Accordingly a few months later we find in writing to Ludwig Hensel to say that he has revised his opinion as quote there is indeed something grand here within this re-evaluation of Tagore can be seen Wittgenstein's interwar and between the Traktatis and philosophical investigations search for the meaning of religious truths by the way I always tell my students all you need to know about Wittgenstein is in the bluffers guide to Wittgenstein which I'm afraid, I don't think it's in our library we did have it at one point and it says there all you need to know about Wittgenstein is that there's an early Wittgenstein a late Wittgenstein if anyone asks you a question about it just say do you mean the early Wittgenstein or the late Wittgenstein so remember that so having given as he thought his views on logic and propositional structure in the earlier Traktatis it is almost as if he now sought to find similar clarity to these broader religious and aesthetic questions no doubt spurred I've suggested in an earlier book by his encounter in the trenches with first what he called the nearness of death and secondly the reworking of the gospels by Leo Tolstoy from this what we might broadly term existential approach to religion arises one of the observations that occurs in his notebooks at this time where he writes a religious question is either a life question or empty twaddle this language game we could say only deals with life questions with this comment in mind it becomes clear which criteria Wittgenstein was applying to Tagore's play was it a life question or mere empty twaddle indeed we could argue that this became his talisman towards all academic discourse later in life initially at first he seemed to think the latter before moving to the former was it then about Tagore's work that could have elicited this move regardless of the writings of both men the backgrounds and influences on them might immediately suggest a bond if not to coin Wittgenstein's phrase a family resemblance both were born into grand late 19th century families which would be destined to play significant roles in the cultural lives of their two nations Wittgenstein's Habsburg Austria and Tagore's Bengal with both families wealth arising from the business acumen and wheeling dealing of a significant patriarch in the case of Ludwig his father who you can see here Karl Wittgenstein whose steel empire made the family what the Germans call filthy rich after the economic collapse following the first world war in Tagore's case his grandfather who amassed a huge fortune from landed estates in the east of Bengal and was one of the first Indian industrialists of the 19th century oddly enough dying on one of his many visits to England and today buried at Kenzel Green cemetery in north London so there's a good reason for going to Kenzel Green both Ludwig and Rabindranath were expected to follow in the family enterprises Ludwig ended up moving from engineering and aeronautics to falling into the embrace of philosophy under the tutelage of Russell at Cambridge whilst Tagore spent the time he should have been tending the family estates in Bengal sitting in a house boat and composing some of the lyrics and poetry for which he is famous today the relative wealth of both families gave them also a certain cultural and intellectual independence the Tagore's had lost their high caste Brahmin status some generations back and readily embraced the reforming zeal of Roy's Brahmo Sommage whilst the Wittgensteins drifted from their ancestral Judaism to a Catholicism that seemed to express itself most deeply in their sponsorship and patronage of some of the greatest artistic names of the Viennese Golden Age including amongst others Johannes Brahms Mahler, Le Bois, Kraus Gustav Klimt and Luce and here's the famous portrait of wedding portrait of Wittgenstein's sister by Gustav Klimt today in the gallery in Munich yet despite this privileged and gilded background both seers had turned their back on this privilege in an effort to direct their best efforts towards the help and good fortune of their fellow citizens this wondering exile was no doubt influenced by early trauma and loss Wittgenstein had lost three of his brothers to suicide as he was growing up and here on the left is one of Wittgenstein's brother who committed suicide he was in the the Reich's army in the First World War when they lost the war he shot himself very sad story Tagore's sister-in-law to whom many impute a romantic attachment herself committed suicide when Tagore was a young man finally mention has already been made of Wittgenstein's unorthodox pedagogical methods including his famous distrust of universities as places to study philosophy Tagore too was deeply suspicious of mainstream teaching methods and like Wittgenstein had benefited from a home education which seemed to foster an independent spirit that bore fruit in the establishment of his innovative educational establishment in Bengal Shanti Niketan the so called forest university still to this day one of the foremost educational establishments in modern India I could multiply these family resemblance but I think you get the picture these similarities suggest some of the reasons why Wittgenstein would have recognised such a soulmate in Tagore despite the fact that he was probably completely unaware of these biographical coincidences so what does this have to do with the contemporary practice of theology in the academy well if Wittgenstein's contribution to philosophy is hotly disputed his contribution to religious thought is no less contentious when we turn to him and the religious but rather than influence a contemporary philosophical debate Wittgenstein's writing has produced a whole new way of thinking of the discipline or even developed a new discipline in itself surveying the many eminent philosophers who have ventured to interpret his contribution the only thing that can be said with certainty is that there is very little consensus amongst them as to what exactly is that contribution and how it should be understood keeps us in business really some of the earliest attempts to apply Wittgensteinian approaches to religious issues have also been some of the most far-reaching in their subsequent scholarship and has echoed the approaches of the early pioneers in particular the work of Rush Rees Norman Malcolm, Peter Winch and DZ Phillips one of the key elements of all four writers which has become something of a neo-Wittgensteinian orthodoxy is that religious language must not be treated as any other language but that it has its own system of verification that will only make sense within quote the religious language game one of the chief consequences of this approach has been to have fostered a seemingly invulnerability of the religious form of life which has not opened criticism what has been turned Wittgensteinian Fideism Fergus Kerr in his masterful book Theology After Wittgenstein concludes quote it is sad that Wittgenstein's name is now associated perhaps irreversibly with a position in the philosophy of religion that rests upon radical misconceptions of his most inventively liberating expressions so if a Wittgensteinian approach to religion is not to be found in an over obsessive pursuit of a religious language game or variations on a Fideist theme what form should it take again I think Tagore will be helpful in clarifying this Drury, Morris Drury Wittgenstein's friend and pupil once told Wittgenstein that he had been reading FR Tenant's book entitled Philosophical Theology to which Wittgenstein replied a title like that sounds to me as if it would be something indecent this response perhaps indicates the direction we should take in applying Wittgenstein's writings to the study of religion I have already mentioned this evening Wittgenstein's interwar search for truth in his writings what emerges from this as we have already seen is his characterisation following Kierkegaard of what he called the passion of belief as for example in this quote from the notebooks wisdom is passionless but faith by contrast is what Kierkegaard calls a passion in this respect one of the key texts for throwing light on Wittgenstein's attitude to religion are the recollections of his pupil Maurice Drury, gentlemen on the left there Drury had originally gone up to Cambridge to study for the Anglican priesthood at Westcott house however after he'd come under the influence of Wittgenstein like so many young Cambridge students he abandoned his ordination training and spent two years working with unemployed people in Newcastle and Murther Tidville much to the consternation of his parents it reminds me of once I had to give a talk at Thomas Merton's old school at Oakham in Rutland to the present students I was not sure whether the hard drinking partygoer who had got a girl pregnant in Cambridge was necessarily the sort of role model the headmaster had in mind when I was invited to give the talk for anyway with Wittgenstein's encouragement Drury began to study medicine in 1934 and qualified in 1939 the most important period of his recollections of Wittgenstein date from the period after the Second World War when Wittgenstein was living in Ireland and Drury working in St Patrick's Hospital in Dublin the photograph on the right is the hotel it's now called the Ashling Hotel it was the Ross Hotel I was there two weeks ago I was giving a talk in Dublin and they said all right, we'll have dinner tonight in Wittgenstein's hotels I took this photograph they kindly put that plaque up to mark the spot food's quite nice after Drury's death in 1976 his recollections were collected and published by Rush Ries commenting on the reasons for publishing the remarks Drury stated this the number of introductions to and commentaries on Wittgenstein's philosophy is steadily increasing yet to one of his former pupils something that was central in his thinking is not being said Kierkegaard told a bitter parable about the effects of his writings he said he felt like the theatre manager who runs on stage to warn the audience of a fire but they take his appearance as all part of the fast they're enjoying and the louder he shouts the more they applaud 40 years ago Wittgenstein's teaching came to me as a warning against certain intellectual and spiritual dangers by which I was strongly tempted these dangers still surround us it would be a tragedy if well-meaning commentators should make it appear that his writings were now easily assimilable into the very intellectual milieu that they were largely warning against thus if we are to make sense of Wittgenstein's contribution to the philosophical problems arising from religious faith we would do well to look at his conviction of the passion of religious faith as much as the logical structure of any supposed religious language games and this is the famous duck rabbit sign with it sometimes it looks like a duck sometimes a rabbit you can spend the next five minutes figuring that one out Wittgenstein was obsessed with this in his last years in Ireland and we have stories of him going down to the sea and drawing it in the sand with a stick and then spending hours staring at it much to the amusement of the villagers where he was staying Allowing to Wittgenstein's notion of religion as a passion we can add his categorization of philosophy as a way of seeing and he famously characterised the job of the philosopher as presenting what he called a uberblich a perspicuous view as it sometimes translated or an overlook as Wittgenstein himself called it in his lectures of 1930 where he redefines the task of philosophy he states it to be one of attempting to be rid of a particular kind of puzzlement a philosophic puzzlement he says not of the intellect but of the instinct as he says later clarity perspicuity are an end in themselves I am not so interested in constructing the building so much as having a clear view before me of the foundations of possible buildings my goal then is different from the scientist and so my think way is to be distinguished the aim of the philosopher and perhaps the theologian becomes that of holding before us the clear view of possible buildings rather than constructing another new building thus this transforming view leads says Wittgenstein to action for if we have followed his procedure a right we move out of the head to find understanding and meaning in the wider arena of acting which leads us nicely back to the mystical theology for I shall now argue that this is a strategy he shares with the medieval writers of the mystical theology recent research has begun to recover the significance and nature of mystical theology as a distinctive branch of theology in the middle to high medieval period much of this interest seems to be associated with the post modern turn that has overcome theology for which of course Wittgenstein is partly responsible and I would suggest an attempt to recover answers to the post modern world in the pre-modern world we can now establish that from the 12th, 13th centuries onwards we see in Europe the rise of a type of discourse that centres around the recovery and translation of the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite he's the gentleman without the head third from the left you can always spot him he's always carrying his head he took it quite a long way out of Paris and that's where the present day Basilica is built on the edge of Paris central to this movement was the group of theologians that arose around the Abbey of Saint-Denis near the schools of Paris this group of writers and commentators took particular interest in the Dionysian corpus which was in the process of being retranslated by theologians such as Saracenas and our own English Robert Gross test the manor which replaced the deficiencies of older translations by Hildoen and Aerigena the Abbey grew with the schools of Paris and was open to the new theological developments of the university and from its inception it was concerned of questions on the relationship between intellect and affect intellectus and affectus within the texts of Dionysius Victorines as they became known discovered a form of writing that allowed scholars to combine the intellect with the affect this will go on to form the basis of much of the later medieval tradition of the theologian mystica as I call it the mystical theology a good example of this discourse can be seen in the work of Jean-Jean Chancellor of the University of Paris in his writing Jean-Jean informs us that there are two types of theology open study the first of these he calls the speculative theology the theologia speculativa which is the theology of the intellect concerned with sharpening our understanding of the logos of Christian life this would largely correspond to the type of theology taught in most universities today Oxford, Cambridge, St. Mary's however to name but three however in addition to this mode of theology he describes another drawing on Dionysius and the Victorines this he calls the theologian mystica the mystical theology which is the theology of the affectus what today in many ways we would call Christian spirituality thus in the tractatus primus speculativus of Jean-Jean's day mystica theologia the Chancellor begins by asking whether it is better to have knowledge of God through penitent affect or investigative intellect after much discussion the Chancellor makes it clear which approach he will preference thus he says we see it is correct to say that as contemplation is in the cognitive power of the intelligence the theologian mystica dwells in the corresponding affective power therefore knowledge of God through mystical theology is better acquired he says through a penitent affectus than an investigative intellect we are once again in the place of the Viconstinian Blick the Viconstinian view at the interface of saying and showing to find the symbiotic relationship between the unknowing of the intellect and the wisdom of the affect the affect once purified possesses says Jean-Jean all the passionate force of Dionysius's ecstatic eros quote love takes hold of the beloved and creates ecstasy and this is called rapture because of the manner in which the mind is lifted up and in conclusion he states the school of prayer the scholar Orandi is more praise worthy other things being equal than the school of learning the scholar literis accordingly taking my cue from Viconstin I would like to suggest that one of the chief tasks of pastoral theology in the academy today is to see theology through the lens of this mystical theology in particular that we understand this mystical or pastoral theology as a way of speaking a way of writing and a way of acting and I shall conclude by looking at each in turn mystical theology is a way of speaking from the tractatus onwards Fickenstein began to grasp that the act of communication requires a choreography as you see where the relevance of psychology comes in a choreography between what is said and what is shown as he states in the preface to the tractatus there is what is presented on the written page and there is what is unwritten and the latter he says is more important than the former or as he also says in the tractatus what can be shown cannot be said meaning therefore lies in the dance between the sayable and the unsayable accordingly I'd like to suggest that mystical theology and we could add theology in general which lies by its nature on the boundary of the effable and the ineffable is the locus par excellence for the choreographed dance between speech and non-speech or better saying and showing towards the path to the transcendent faced with the on-pass between what God is in God's self, beyond speech and our attempts to talk about it the logos of the theos or as Erasmus calls it the conversation of God Michael Sel suggests we have three alternatives the first which is not very conducive to academic life is silence I mean we all go home and that's the end of the lecture today but you know we've got to do something here so the second option he says is to distinguish between ways in which the transcendent is beyond names and the way it is not this is the classic analogical approach of St Thomas Aquinas the third which is one interest to me most is to maintain the tension and develop a form of performative discourse that realises that every assertion of the nature of the transcendent must be accompanied by another that denies it my own work has concentrated on this latter approach more specifically how the medieval writers of the Theologian Mystica work with the on-pass of the transcendent through transgressive and eruptive modes of discourse both spoken and written which leads us to the second area mystical theology as a way of writing as Cells makes clear and I've developed in my own work we can observe a clear method of mystical discourse in the medieval period up to and including the Spanish mystics Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross that makes use of this performative discourse of eruption to lead us into ineffable choreography humour paradox in short what I call shock and awe are all part of the linguistic armory for writers from Meister Eckhart to Margaret Perrette John of the Cross to Francisco de Assuna in their zeal to lead us into the presence of the one they play with our discursive intellect subjecting it to all sorts of games this can be through intellectual challenge as you find in the case of Eckhart who famously and puzzlingly says God free me from God all through startling and challenging images of an erotic as you find in the work of John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila Eckhart like other of the great practitioners of the Theologian Mystica knew that the stakes were high in trying to bridge the gap between the ineffable and the ineffable in articulating this discourse he knew that he had to present a coherent picture of God that contained the very incoherence that lies at the heart of any project to contain or pin down meaning in a series of lectures to which the Vice Chancellor has already referred I delivered in India earlier this year and published as picturing the soul I suggested that just as Eckhart's shocking language is necessary to maintain a sound theological tension in our approach to God so psychological language must be equally shocking today if it is to maintain the essential unknowability at the centre of the human subject if centre is itself an appropriate term for I'd see the Suche Logos the talk of the soul essentially a mystical choreography between what is said and what is shown but that is a subject for a later lecture and a later book Vice Chancellor as with God so with the psyche there is an unknowing at the heart and we rush in as Wittgenstein observed with empirical and concrete guns ablaze at our own peril this is something that Wittgenstein began to understand in the 1920s yes it may be intellectually satisfying but has it really told us anything about the nature of the psyche or the soul and finally mystical theology as a way of acting and drawing here on this Wittgenstein methodology this move from thinking to seeing to acting I would like to suggest that all theology whether mystical, pastoral or even dare I say systematic theology to my colleagues from the systematic faculty here must ultimately lead to action Blessed John Henry Newman underneath whose bust we shall shortly have a glass of wine so do raise your glass to him and to conscience when you're there famously stated that God did not choose to save us through dialectics for what is the purpose of theology ultimately theology I would like to suggest is ultimately a transformational art it is not a pseudo-science or an aesthetic adventure rather the aim of theology is to establish the conditions intellectually and affectively for the Holy Spirit to act on the soul as John of the Cross put it in the living flame of love when the soul frees itself of all things and attains to emptiness and dispossession concerning them which is equivalent to what it can do of itself it is impossible that God failed to do his part by communicating himself to it at least silently and secretly it is more impossible than it would be for the Son not to shine on clear and uncluttered ground as the sun rises in the morning and shines on your house so that its light may enter if you open the shutters so God who in watching over Israel does not doze or still less sleep will enter the soul that is empty and fill it with divine goods the danger with this of course as the church has always recognised is to imagine from this that the life of the Christian is relatively straight forward we simply make our homes for Christ and he will automatically come and make everything cosy for us however John is adamant that this is not the case the way is hard and the price is high the spiritual and we could add here the theological purging is a painful one oh sweet quarter writes John and ultimately all in us much that is good and true must die the work of theology and philosophy as Wittgenstein testifies is a hard and painful one we must constantly challenge the discursive intellect and seek out the ways of self-deception especially in our desire to make idols of the deus I was recently asked in America what is enlightenment in the Christian tradition the person was of course Californian the only way I could answer was by showing a picture of the famous rubeleth icon the aim of the Christian life is to take up the invitation by the Holy Spirit represented here by rubeleth by the three angels to take our place at the empty seat on the table true theology prepares us to hear that invitation when it must inevitably come and hopefully to give us the wherewithal to make our way tentatively and falteringly to the eternal messianic banquet to which we are all invited we began this lecture with the traumatized Wittgenstein struggling to find an academic mode of speech before the skeptical eyes of the Vienna circle as I hope to have demonstrated here the final form his discourse would take as evidenced in the later philosophy upon which I have drawn heavily in this lecture is ultimately a dialectic that seeks through the choreography of what is said and what is shown to lead to the transformational release of the fly from the fly bottle I have also drawn parallels with the medieval discourse of mystical theology and suggested that this provides a pattern for theology to core and a reminder that theology is at heart a transformational discipline which must challenge our ways of acting as we make our earthly pilgrimage to our heavenly homes accordingly I hope you will see by now that Wittgenstein's choice of Tagore and in particular the king of the dark chamber was prescient for the type of academic discourse he was hoping to foster in the final decades of his life the story of the king of the dark chamber is simply told the eponymous king dwells in a dark chamber at the centre of his kingdom no subject has seen him some fear him some love him some even doubt his existence his wife Sudeshana grows restless at never being able to see the king and Tagore contrasts her with the nation's speculations as to the nature of the king with the simple devotion of the maid servant Surangama who is content to love the king in his darkness we can see at once the immediate parallels between the speculative and mystical ways of conceiving God Sudeshana representative of the restless intellect can only be comfortable with light, form and vision Surangama who we can take as representative of the practice of the theologian mystica is happy to live in the darkness with all its paradox and mystery in her unknowing she accepts the will of her lord so much so that her intuitive powers can perceive the approach of the king finally unable to bear the strayed of not seeing her lord Sudeshana searches him out in a pleasure garden and falls in love with an imposter these acts lead to the destruction of the palace in fire entering once again the chamber while all is fire outside Sudeshana encounters the true king but this time she has seen him and perceives him as a terrifying darkness terrible oh it was terrible I am afraid even to think of it again oh you are dark and terrible as everlasting night as John of the cross proposes the vision of the eternal king is dark and confusing as the boundary between the saleable and unsaleable is crossed for as the king states the utter darkness that has today shaken you to your soul will one day be your solace and salvation what else can my love exist for running from the encounter Queen Sudeshana pursues a destructive course not only for herself but her country finally humiliated and resigned the queen can once again enter the chamber with her intellect laid low she cannot last finally see the king and discourse with him openly the perspicuous vision has been restored and the play ends with the king opening the windows and doors of the chamber to the queen as she steps into the light in summary the king of the dark chamber can be taken as an allegory for Wittgenstein's own search to articulate the truths of the spiritual life neither fideist foundation list or fundamentalist as I have argued tonight the turn of the Wittgenstein key unlocks a whole garden of mystical discourse for us his contemporary readers as in psychotherapy both Wittgenstein and the mystical writers invite us to observe the foundations of possible buildings rather than trying to build one building Wittgenstein and Tagore do not provide us with clever interpretations and interventions but allow the clarity of insight to be turned on possible buildings the post enlightenment way of knowing requires a more interactive and immediate medium or frame of reference than could be grasped by the verification of either the Vienna circle or what we can term scientism action is the closest activity available to language and such activity will be tempered by a necessary vein of humility arising from the lack of an overriding view this is the necessary humility of the practitioner of the mystical discourse whether contemplative or clergy philosopher or psychotherapist in conclusion I have argued in this lecture tonight and for the past few decades that Wittgenstein's Viennese turn not only allowed a new discourse to return to the heart of academic philosophy but it has also enabled us to appreciate once again the performative discourse that is at the heart of the ancient practice of the theologian mystica the final notations of the tractatus on the mystical once so problematic to hardcore Anglo-American verificationists the true heirs of schlich et al can now be seen as an invitation to a re-evaluation of the Catholic tradition of mystical theology as a venerable discourse inviting us to move from thinking to seeing to acting and in this spirit I conclude with your permission this time I have spoken facing you by reciting a few lines of Tagore have you not heard his silent steps he comes he comes he ever comes every moment and every age every day and every night he comes he comes he ever comes many a song of I sung in many a mood of mind but all their notes have always been proclaimed he comes he comes he ever comes in the fragrant days of sunny April through the forest path he comes he comes he ever comes in the rainy gloom of July nights on the thundering chariot of clouds he comes he comes he ever comes in sorrow after sorrow I press upon my heart and it is the golden touch of his feet that makes my joy to shine thank you very much for your attention


Well, hello there, you fine person sitting right there Today is an interesting day Because I'm sitting here all day. I'm stuck here Why you ask because the government said that I I need a break I Always forget That in Canada you can only work 14 consecutive days And then you have to take a mandatory 24 hours off minimum most people would just take a 36 hour reset Then your log books are reset If you don't know what that means, that's a topic for a whole nother video, but just stay with me here But if I don't want to reset I can just stop for my 24 hours and then I can keep Recapping my hours, but if I want to keep recapping hours again and again and again I can only do that for 14 days then I need 24 hours off today is day number 15 Apparently one day away from home. I am seven and a half hours from home Well, probably going through Ontario eight eight and a half hours from home And I'm stuck here today because the government says I need a weekend Josh you need to take a break right now a right now not tomorrow See I was gonna get home and take a full reset at home take my break at home But no the government said you cannot work one more day without a break you need your break now So I'm here in Thunder Bay. Well close to Thunder Bay at the Flying J Can you see it out there parked right here? I Got here almost exactly at midnight central time yesterday. So At midnight tonight the next midnight 24 hours from when I stopped here. I can get going again So what I'm doing is I woke up this morning looked at my log books. I was like, why won't it give me hours? Thank goodness for e-logs right because they remember things that I don't if I was on paper logs I probably would have forgotten that there's a 14 hour limit and would have just driven And then if I would have gotten pulled into a scale would have gotten a huge ticket for driving illegally for not taking my mandatory weekend And I would have gotten fined For working overtime Once again trucking the only industry where you can get in trouble for working overtime big trouble I could lose my license if I get into enough trouble I could go to jail if I get into even more trouble. I Don't like these laws. I'll be clear with you. I don't like it when the government way over there in Ottawa Thinks it knows me in my body better than I do Like look at me. I'm pretty sure I could have driven Another eight and a half hours to get home and had my break at home with my wife But no the government says no I Have to take my break now Even though I had a great sleep last night. I'm wide awake. I could be driving right now. I'm feeling good.  I've just been working 14 consecutive days Straight no weekend But that should be my choice if I don't want to take a weekend or if I don't want to take a full day off Why make me right as long as I'm feeling good and get my proper rest and following my My daily requirements in my logbook. Why do I need 24 hours? Well, good morning, everybody. What depends what you think a morning is and what a good morning would be it's midnight It's time to get rolling again I explained it to you before I went to sleep yesterday afternoon Why we're leaving at midnight. I probably cut a whole bunch of it out. I was talking for like 12 minutes I was so frustrated. So I'm gonna cut most of that out. So you don't have to listen to me ramble, but in short Yeah, I worked 14 consecutive days, which means I needed 24 hours excuse me First thing in the morning and you're interrupting me already. It's interesting How whenever I start talking suddenly the GPS wants to talk to you think she's listening The weirdest thing speaking to people listening. Okay, the weirdest thing happens to me you know how I go to the gym more regularly now right as often as I can and I don't post about it on my social media like hey, I'm at this gym Hey, I'm at this gym. I talk about it on my YouTube, but I don't really make any like posts right especially on Instagram I haven't made one post Every ad I get on Instagram since I started going to the gym is about working out and You know Supplements everything related to the gym. That's the only ads I get on social media now How do they even know I've been at the gym? They are creepy Like Instagram's owned by Facebook and I haven't checked in at the gym. I haven't posted. Hey, here. I am at the gym. I Guess I've shared in private messages to Brit like I'll send her my location Every day and when I'm at the gym, I'll send her. Hey, I'm at this gym right now. Hey, I'm at this gym over here But those are private messages and now on my Instagram. I'm getting ads for like working out in gym stuff It's so weird so weird how they know what you're up to It's creepy All right, so this is mostly going to be a night drive so I'll see how much vlogging we can get in here. I checked my fifth wheel. I'm just gonna give it a little tug just in case Forward pull breaks trailer is still attached. That's good. Now. I'm double sure that my trailer is not gonna fall off That would be terribly embarrassing Would make for a great vlog though, right? Lots of views Not exactly the views I want though Time is now well 122 in the morning here But central time the direction we're headed where home is it is 1222 a.m. Everybody else is just going to sleep And I'm going to work. It's been an interesting day so far Night whatever you want to call it feels so strange starting my work day at midnight The time is now just before 5 a.m. So we've been going five hours already it actually seems like Ouch, you got your brights on buddy that hurts Feels like the day is going by a lot faster than it actually is I used to work nights before when I worked locally For a while. I always enjoyed the nights because there's so much more peaceful not that there's just less traffic But there's just less noise in general Peaceful I've always been a bit of a night owl tried in Ontario. It's ten after five in the morning Coffee time second coffee of the day already it's 5 a.m Fun times just gonna park right here in front of these pumps And just grab a coffee. I'm not going to go in and have a shower and have breakfast Don't worry It's nice to see that the big ball of fire in the sky has decided to join us today Seems like the night lasted forever, but I'm just not used to this schedule at all I have 200 kilometers or 120 miles left to go According to the sign, it's 194 kilometers and I've been driving for about six six and a half hours already And now the Sun just rises. I still have a full day at home yet That's why I pushed it to get home. I'd like to go to the gym today yet We've got to do a dump run so we've got to take our garbage away Oh What else we got it we got to get Brit completely ready to jump in the truck with us tomorrow So we got to get all her stuff packed in here. I've also got to clean this truck out the best I can with the time I have I've got to do all my laundry from the last two weeks. I Wanted to go visit my mom and also bring her my tax papers But I don't think we'll have time for that and I don't want to just drop off my tax papers there with her and leave I don't like showing up there and just you're dropping off tax stuff and leaving it I don't feel good about that. I want to go there when I can actually spend some time visiting with her But she works every day of the week except Sundays. So Sunday is the best day to go visit her But today is not Sunday so she's gonna be busy working today anyway It's tax season and as an accountant who owns her own business She's got clients coming in Probably now already till late at night So hopefully I can be back for next weekend and I can go visit her on next Sunday and then Get everything done there, but other now we still got a lot of stuff to get done today And we've got to be in bed pretty early, which shouldn't be a problem for me because I've been up all night already we've got to be Up for To go to work. I've got to get everything loaded into the truck tonight so that we can wake up tomorrow load everybody up in here and Drag our butts over to Alberta. I'll probably make it to Saskatoon tomorrow Or we will because Brickton the dogs will all be with me. I'm really looking forward to this Gonna be exciting. It's gonna be a little cramped in here But I think cozy would be a better word to describe. It's gonna be nice and cozy. I Guess Brits training will begin tomorrow then not the official training but I Can't let her drive the truck yet But you know I can start I can start the process Did we make it home? Diesel oh we all missed you diesel We all missed you. I didn't film when I first got home. He was so excited. You were dancing weren't you? Yes, you were Are we all gonna go in the truck in the next trip? Are we all gonna go all of I said one time? Yeah, you want to go in the truck? It's two whole weeks the longest I've ever been away from you ever You had a good time though. I heard so yeah, we're just Pretty much just getting everything done really quick so that we could possibly leave tonight or tomorrow morning This machine is gonna be busy all day Got some laundry in here Brits has already been packing So she's pretty much ready to go We've got to do a dump run like I was telling you before bring her garbage to wait a steinback Had a few more things and there she is My granny work out clothes for the garbage run.   I didn't influence you at all. No, I've been thinking about it since we started dating I just never said anything because I wasn't sure about it and Now that we're taking a while to have a family. I'm sure so cool She's coming with on this trip to Alberta and back Doesn't have our learners yet But we're working on that part and then from then on I think I'll be able to train her from what I've heard We still got to go in and talk to work and stuff But I test pretty well So a couple more days of just studying while I'm on the truck and I'll call and see if I can make The appointment via phone. I don't think I'll be able to though because I think they need my My medical sheet saying that I'm good to go probably. Yeah, which I have done I went to the doctor, but we'll see so yeah, we got the medical done The learner test is just a written test and then after that you got to study and go through the whole curriculum And then you go for the road test and if you pass the road test You get your official commercial license. I mean, I Don't want to be cocky, but I've seen some of Steve's live stock drivers. Oh, she's calling out names and I can do it. I'm sorry Steve's live stock, but Some of your drivers are great people, but all your new recruits. Oh No, I was stuck behind a guy on this on the highway doing 70 the whole way down the 59 the other morning I was infuriated 70 with an empty trailer and it wasn't windy. It wasn't I see the roads were dry She's calling out names. I know some of you watched the videos There's got to be some Steve's guys in there There's probably a few you that are amazing, but it's the bad ones that are really giving you a bad rap guys. Yeah I'm sorry But every time I go down the 59 I'm stuck behind a bad Steve's live stock driver every time. Yeah, they are really slow Really even when they're empty They take seriously five to six months longer than a loaded grain truck to get up to the speed limit And then usually they only do about 85 90 in a hundred so this guy did not go over 85 the whole way 70 to 85 and he kept dropping down. He couldn't maintain. It was just it was embarrassing I was embarrassed for the trucking world with this guy So do you guys get paid by the hour over there or what gives it's going on you? Are you had limited at 70? I'm not saying all of you though again. I'm not saying all of you There's probably some amazing ones.  Can you not see him?  Oh, we'll train you to be a better driver.  I mean, I am I've been driving a little slow lately to say fuel But only on four lanes when it's not busy and people can easily get around me not on the two lanes I do the speed limit on the two lines when there's people behind me That's exactly it. That's exactly how I would drive Like you want to conserve fuel, but You don't want to hold up everybody behind you What if there's a medical emergency behind you or something where someone's loved one is dying in the hospital and they died and didn't get to See him because of you Like common sense. Because of you It's your fault. I'm so sorry guys. I regret everything I just said. I'm so sorry We're gonna need to Comfort these poor guys Anyways, we got to get some stuff done here today yet, and then we'll talk to you later There we go. We're making good use of this netting that I bought elastic netting and haul more now Look at that This long day is starting to catch up with me. I've been up since midnight It's a time now It's probably like three o'clock. I think So it's already been 12 or 15 hours Whoo.  Yeah children getting all muddy outside. Okay Okay, did you show them yet Shake a paw Boy diesel learning new tricks. Okay, but that's not the first that we need Okay one two three Four okay House was so clean. It was All right, everybody Here we go five days four or five four or five days So we got everybody and you've got all our stuff excessive amount of things We got diesel we got Chevy the Frankie there in the shadows He's very excited. He's shaking.  It's okay You're gonna have a lot of fun. He's never been in the truck without me That's true. Yeah, it's gonna be fun frankly me Okay, whatever you say Okay, we need to get going we're gonna go get our trailer and At least hook on to it and we'll see how we feel from there So thanks for watching today guys tune in tomorrow to see how the first full day of a full truck goes It's gonna be fun
