VSF has had a very long run here since 2009. There have been many technical glitches in the last year but the end has come so that something new can be reborn. If this show has meant something to you. If, as some of you have told me, its been your lifeline because you live in a sea of red. If I'm the only one talking about what you think or want to talk about, I'm not going to stop and we can stay connected. Tune in today and hear whats happening to the archives and all the details so we can stay friends! We're moving to SPREAKER. Follow us there. And thank you all for listener loyalty over the years!
Mamala Sekhmet as I began to call Kamala and Tim, the embodiment of the Sacred Masculine, are the topics of today's final show of Voices of the Sacred Feminine on Blog Talk. Listen as I talk about the gift they've both given us. All we need do is recognize it and grasp it in our minds and hearts. As for this being the final show, it's been a long run here, since 2009, but you might recall I mentioned in past shows the Blog Talk internet platform, home for podcasts, is ceasing to exist, so my show has to move and I'll give you those specifics at the end of this episode.
If you're a fan of Star Trek, you remember the Borg. The Borg who assimilated everyone. No one could think for themselves. Everyone was a loyalist to The Queen. (Interesting how they made the Ultimate Evil a female!) Their subject's brains were taken over and the conquered just became mindless robots for the Borg Collective. Well, I see similarities in what's happening now. But Resistance Is Not Futile! The Borg just wants you to think it is. Tune in and hear the beginning of my Resistance Checklist which you can do anonymously from your home or loud and proud and visible. There's something for everyone as they say.
Remember that satirical comedy by the producers of The Good Wife and Elsbeth, Michelle and Robert King, titled BrainDead? It was good for a reliable belly laugh each week. It was smart and insightful. Well, today I'm going to take the premise of that old gem and put a new twist on it. Just who are the ET insects eating the brains of humans out there?
Who hasn’t confided to their most trusted friends their amazement at how different some people are in terms of what seems to be clearly black and white issues. Well, it turns out there is science behind general differences about liberal and conservative brain construction and thinking styles. Tune in and hear more. It's important because if we want to get past the polarization we have to know how to talk to each other and hear both sides.
I’ll humbly say I’m no Constitutional scholar nor have I majored in Political Science, but from my Everywoman’s seat on my barcalounger, I’m just going to ask the quiet part out loud: Can Democracy survive the current state of Free Speech provided for in the 1st and 14th Amendments? If we allow disinformation and misinformation, lies and distortions can we ever restore equiibrium to society?
Producer, author and colleague of mine, Thomas Quinn returns to VSF so we can chat about his new satirical and courageous book, God: The Unauthorized Biography - God's Old Testament memoir is how I refer to it. We'll be chatting about the morally-dubious history of the Israelites and their prophecies, surprising research in the Old Testament you never hear about, fresh insights on the role of women in the Old Testament which you never hear about, including if abortion is even mentioned. We'll compare history to legend and tradition and delve into why this is a relevent topic for us today beyond those of us who are history or religion junkies. And talk about how all this leads to why Evangelicals can support Donald Trump.
Molly Mandelbert, founder of Wild Hearts Rise Up and Creatrix of Magnetic Influencer Collective and writer/illustrator of The Wild Hearts Rise Up Oracle Deck is with me today to talk about turning your gift and passion into vehicle to support yourself with our topic Monetizing Your Healing Practice.
According to the eminent scholar, Norm Chomsky, the Republican party is "the most dangerous organization in the US." You decide for yourself if when presented with the "cliff note" evidence if we've had an ethical Republican administration since Eisenhower. As my historical account will attest, Republican Presidents have been guilty of war crimes, election interference, committing treason, sometimes by conspiring with foreign governments, and much more, to acquire or hold power for decades since Eisenhower. Yes, there have been Republican traitors in the White House before Donald Trump even if you didn’t learn about it in school, discover it buried in the news or followed the headlines.
SHOW MANTRA: I Am Enough and So Are You Today's Topic: Truth About Being Neutral or Apolitical in Politics Rescheduled from 10/16 -- Welcome to the new format of Voices of the Sacred Feminine as I go back to my roots here on the show and discuss the "bees buzzing round in my bonnet." I'll still have the occasional guest to chat with, but I've shortened the show to 30 minutes or less and I've taken the advice of my wise women friends and have decided to let you hear from me instead of a new author each week. And this week you'll be hearing me discuss my ideas around The Truth About Being Apolitical or Neutral in Politics. And maybe some other fruits of those honey bees that are buzzing round in my bonnet! "People often say with pride, I'm not interested in politics. They might as well say I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedom, my future, or any future. If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we MUST be interested in politics." ~ Martha Gelhorn, writer, novelist, journalist
It's been good to be back these last weeks sharing my thoughts and ideas with you. I hope you've been enjoying the topics I've offered. Today we're talking about WHEN LOVE & COMPASSION ARE NOT THE ANSWER - SPIRITUAL BYPASSING. Psychologists say we're drowning in phoney love and compassion as people spiritually bypass rather than be uncomfortable long enough to solve problems. The bypassers then claim moral and spiritual superiority when in fact they might just be cowards without emotional maturity. As VSF returns to the air with it's over-arching theme of I AM ENOUGH & SO ARE YOU I go back to my roots and discuss the "bees buzzing round in my bonnet." I'll still have the occasional guest to chat with, but I've shortened the show to 30 minutes or so and I've taken the advice of my wise women friends and have decided to let you hear from me instead of a new author each week.
It's been good to be back these last weeks sharing my thoughts and ideas with you. I hope you've been enjoying the topics I've offered. Today we're talking about WOMAN AS CREATRIX OF CIVILIZATION even though in patriarchy too often women are relegated to madonnas, whores and breeders. Or if we let some of the GOP have their way, we'll be chained to the stove, barefoot and pregnant.

I just bought this on Vimeo. $45.00 for the whole series. $10 per individual episode if you have a particular interest. Here's a tinyurl for it: http://tinyurl.com/VimeoFromTheGoddess Can't wait to see the whole thing!

One of the reasons marijuana was made a Class III drug by the Harrison Act in 1928 with opium and heroin is because, like the opium poppy, cannabis can be homegrown. The pharmaceutical companies wanted to control the poppy for an end product (morphine) and cannabis because it is good for a multiplicity of uses. This put the robust US hemp industry out of business. It also prevented any research into how cannabis works and how it could be used, which is necessary to be granted a GRAS designation (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA. Mind you, many prescription drugs have this designation without anyone having any idea how they work and after being studied only in young healthy white males (but that topic is for a separate discussion!) The good news is that cannabis looks like it might be federally designated a Class I drug like Tylenol soon. Fingers crossed.

one (sub)argument here (if I am understanding you correctly), is that our terms referring to the set of figurines with feminine sex characteristics are likely misnomers, because there is no cut and dry way to divide them up (bc we don't have enough context, in some cases, to do more than think it's equally possible that the so called "lion man" is likely female as it is male). And thus, that there is (on parity of reasoning) no way to tell if above set of figurines has any characteristic in common other than sex characteristics? no evidence of worship of the regenerative nature of our experience and our environment?

Kare, some free unsolicited advice. take a page out of Barbara Walters interviews. listen more and talk less. you are constantly interrupting your guests and interjecting your opinions about their area of expertise. learn to listen!
