The Beyond Earth Show with Ray Trujillo

Venus Retrograde, Self-Worth, and the Value We Place on Ourselves

Host Ray Trujillo opens an October 3, 2026 transmission timed to Venus retrograde, inviting listeners to re-examine their self-worth, relationships, money, and sense of value. In this solo hour he links the planet's themes to self-validation, receiving, inherited values, and cultural measures of beauty and age.

Opening the Show Under Venus Retrograde
Trujillo opens the hour with the intro theme and a greeting for the October 3, 2026 transmission, wishing listeners a good beginning to fall. The show is timed to Venus retrograde, which Trujillo describes as a period when a planet appears to move backward while in fact it does not. Venus rules love, relationship, attraction, beauty, money, possessions, and receiving, so this retrograde becomes a re-evaluation of the heart. Trujillo places the period as officially beginning today and running until November 13, with a retrograde that starts in Scorpio and moves into Libra. Other overlapping markers include a cazimi on October 23 and a Mercury retrograde, and Trujillo suggests listeners may notice these themes in their own lives or in the wider world around them.

Self-Validation and Intrinsic Worth
Trujillo turns to the central question of the retrograde: what a person is worth when nobody is validating them. Trujillo acknowledges that people naturally seek recognition from peers, colleagues, friends, and family, since feeling received and safe is part of human nature, but argues that self-validation can be stronger than external praise. Accolades may be welcome, yet a person can collect every award and still feel never enough, a pattern Trujillo links to competitive athletes and performers who are only as good as their last performance. Trujillo advises gentleness during this period and recommends writing by hand, even if the first ten minutes seem like gibberish, as a way of externalizing the subconscious. Trujillo also notes that memories from the spring and fall of 2018 may resurface, and frames them as opportunities for reflection rather than something to force. Trujillo gives the example of a positive memory: getting sober in 2018 and being eight years sober now.

Worth Beyond Relationships and Compliments
Trujillo next applies the theme to relationships, whether a breakup, a reconnection, or a marriage in question. The suggested exercise is to look at oneself as an individual, apart from the other person, and ask whether one is a happier person with or without that partner, while setting aside practical matters such as finances, family, and children. Trujillo acknowledges that the question may sound like the question of the century, and that people sometimes want what they cannot have. Friendships receive the same scrutiny: is the friendship reciprocal, consistent, and beneficial emotionally, intellectually, and in the heart, or is it draining? Trujillo cautions that feeling needed is not the same as feeling loved, and that a compliment can serve as a reminder of value that already exists rather than creating it. The host also warns against outsourcing self-worth to relationships, social status, or what society expects. Trujillo calls this homework, asking listeners to contemplate their value as individuals, even in a room full of people or a long, happy marriage.

Receiving, Generosity, and the Artist's Worth
Trujillo develops the idea of receiving through the example of an artist who gives away work freely, pouring time, energy, and expensive materials into each piece. Trujillo describes how a gift repeated again and again can create scarcity on the other side, leaving the artist without money for more supplies, studio time, or food, and suggests that someone else may need to say the work is worth more. Picasso and Van Gogh are mentioned as artists who died penniless and were later valued at a fortune, a remark presented as an illustration rather than a historical argument. Trujillo then turns the example inward: a person who always gives, cooks, cleans, and cares for others may struggle when they are the one who needs help after a minor injury. Trujillo encourages listeners to practice saying yes when friends offer bread, vegetables, tea, or a cleaned room, suggesting that many people are waiting for the chance to return the kindness. The host asks whether listeners have been blocking others from reciprocating.

Money, Leaks, and Inherited Values
Trujillo connects money with love, describing both as carrying a sense of perceived value, while money also carries a measured value. Trujillo asks listeners to look at spending and attention for money leaks, such as subscriptions forgotten for years or spending that is a form of self-soothing, and to ask whether a shopping spree is an act of self-love or a way to fill a gap. Trujillo distinguishes net worth from self-worth, noting that finances can change dramatically while a person's worth does not. The discussion then moves to values, which Trujillo describes as shaped by family, ancestry, culture, religion, socioeconomic class, and the modeling a child observed, including whether a parent died young or the family was harmonious, toxic, or abusive. Adopted listeners are included, since Trujillo describes epigenetic and spiritual inheritance as existing even without biological confirmation. As an adult, a person can review those inherited values and decide to keep, adjust, or replace them with values they create themselves.

Beauty, Age, and a Venusian Inventory
Trujillo turns to beauty, appearance, and age, which Venus governs as a kind of mirror. Trujillo notes that culture often sets standards that leave people feeling judged whatever they do, and that a person can admire beauty without letting appearance define worth. Trujillo points to people in their eighties who swim the English Channel as a sign that age does not define a person, and observes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, often in ways the admired person cannot see. The host asks listeners to name something they love about themselves and to set aside whether they feel too young or too old. Trujillo then closes the hour with a Venusian inventory: say or write "I value" and let the first answers come, such as garden, family, animals, work, ancestors, spirit guides, God, or self-respect, then look for deeper layers. Listeners are invited to examine where their money, time, attention, and energy go over time, and to discern what they want more of and less of. Trujillo ends with a call for self-compassion.

The Jim Craine Show

Merrill Kelem, a retired officer with the Atlantic City Police Department has lived an interesting life. In addition to his career in law enforcement he found himself as a part of Frank Sinatra's inner circle. He also worked as a part of Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s organization until Sinatra, Jr.'s passing.

Sinatra Bodyguard Stories and Atlantic City Memories with Merrill Kelem

Jim Craine broadcasts from the Pleasantville Music Shop on a rainy Saturday and phones his longtime friend Merrill Kelem, a former Atlantic City police officer who worked as one of Frank Sinatra's bodyguards. The two trade stories about the Rat Pack, Caesars and Resorts, a benefit softball game, and the Atlantic City lifeguards and police they knew.

Rainy Saturday Opening and Dr. Boris Sponsors
Jim Craine opens the afternoon from the Pleasantville Music Shop on a rainy Saturday in southern New Jersey, greeting listeners and noting that the Halloween season is in full swing. He calls up his character Dr. Boris to read the sponsor list in a spooky voice, thanking Pleasantville Music Shop, The Maplewood Inns, Copiers Plus, and the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House and The Colonial Inn bed and breakfasts. Craine then turns to small business, urging listeners to support the local companies that sponsor the show. He mentions the shop's back-to-school instrument rentals for area schools, its vinyl records that can be played in the store, and a planned Toys for Tots show at ACIT in Mays Landing on December 5th, where people bring a toy to attend. He also points to the Birdcage restaurant in Atlantic City and a website, pleasantvillemusic.com, for more information. The rain and flooding from the previous week are on his mind as he teases the main guest coming up later in the hour.

The Godfather Pitches Maplewood Inns
The Godfather, another of Craine's recurring characters, takes the microphone next for a comic pitch for The Maplewood Inns in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing. In a gravelly voice, he praises the veal parmesan, chicken parmesan, ravioli, and spaghetti, and says the restaurants can cater a prom or host a wedding. He jokes that listeners can take a wife for an anniversary or a girlfriend to dinner, but never on the same night. He gives the inns three thumbs up and closes with a sign-off wishing listeners a good time and bon appétit. Craine returns to note that the show airs Saturdays from two to three Central time on the network, then introduces the guest, Merrill Kelem. He describes Kelem as a former Atlantic City police officer who was one of Frank Sinatra's bodyguards alongside his partner, Bobby, and calls him an old friend and one of his best pallies. Kelem is reached by phone from Ventnor, where he is looking out over the boardwalk on a dull, dingy day.

Kelem Recalls Joining Sinatra's Circle
Kelem, a Philly boy with family property near the Inlet, recalls thirty-one and a half years as an Atlantic City police officer. He says he got into Sinatra's circle through a buddy, Larry, who was a valet at the time, and that Skinny coached him on how to act around the boss: let him get comfortable around you, but never get comfortable around him. Kelem first met Sinatra at Caesars that same year, a month after gambling passed in Atlantic City. He says his work began in March 1977 at the Valley Forge Music Fair, where he ran the warehouse for the souvenir business, shipping and ordering merchandise, and that this earned their trust. He says Resorts opened the first week of April, over Easter weekend in 1978, and the hospital gala at Convention Hall that weekend was a highlight. Craine recalls ushering at Convention Hall and seeing Sinatra's steel-blue eyes, while Kelem notes he and Bobby may be the only ones alive in that photo.

Pie Fights and the Red Eyes, Blue Eyes Game
Craine asks Kelem to set the record straight about Pete Maggio, whom Craine remembers as Sinatra's driver. Kelem insists Maggio met the singer but never drove him, saying the only men who drove Sinatra were Kelem, Bobby, and Ritchie Ayub. The talk drifts to pie fights, and Kelem jokes that Sinatra loved banana cream pie, which the crew once used to hit Morty Storm square in the face. Craine remembers going backstage at The Sands, where Jilly stopped him at the door until Craine said he was there with Merrill. The centerpiece is a benefit softball game called Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, which Kelem dates to 1980 and says was for Wills Eye Hospital. Tommy Lasorda, coming down from a Dodgers game in Philadelphia, asked umpire Joe West to throw him out so he could reach Atlantic City by 11:30, and West staged it as an argument. Kelem says the game ended in an 18-18 tie when it was called, and he still keeps the Galliano bottle from that day.

Frank Jr., Nancy, and Atlantic City Lifeguards
Kelem calls Frank Sinatra Jr. his brother from another mother, and says a book about him is 99 percent nonsense, so listeners should not waste their money. Craine, who says working with Frank Jr. was one of the biggest things in his career, asks whether Kelem has been in touch with Nancy, and Kelem says they talk now and then, usually at the holidays. Craine says he would love to have Nancy on the show. The conversation turns to Atlantic City's lifeguards and police: Kelem recalls the best T-shirts and sweatshirts worn by Norman Draper, Sir Charles, and the police department's Jimmy McGettigan and Re-Re Goodman, while Craine praises Jimmy Sarkos, who is doing a great job. Craine also tells of a night when his friend Johnny Rothman chased him up to the Inlet with the lights on, until they said goodbye at Vermont Avenue.

One for My Baby and a Red Skelton Goodbye
Before the call ends, Kelem says he expects to be around for the Toys for Tots show on December 5, and Craine promises to bring the whole band. The two agree to save other stories, including one about someone called Bullethead, for a return visit. After a commercial break, Craine plays his trio's version of One for My Baby (and One More for the Road), recalling that he was at Sinatra's last show at The Sands and once shook the singer's hand. He previews next Saturday's guest, Danny Steelman, and the Blister Brothers, the Beach Patrol rowing pair Steelman and Kelly O'Neill who took a lifeguard boat up the Inland Waterway to Florida for charity. Craine points listeners to Steelman's book One Summer Dream and Cynthia Branigan's The Last American Diving Horse, and to jimcraine.com. He closes in the style of Red Skelton, wishing listeners good night and God bless, and plays his bye-bye song.

The Joyful Manifestation Show with Iyer

Tuning Into Joyful Manifestation: Golf Courses, Money Cards, and the Power of Pivoting to Love

Suganthi Iyer walks listeners through money, good fortune, and soulmate manifestation, drawing on Esther and Jerry Hicks Law of Attraction cards, her golf-course neighborhood, and a scenic bridge to a cruise ship to explain what she calls "the power of pivoting."

Joyful Manifestation As A Lived Energy
Suganthi Iyer opens the broadcast welcoming listeners back and explaining that joyful manifestation is a specific high vibration, distinct from energies like the "war energy" some people tune into by watching violent programming. She stresses that this energy cannot simply be summoned on demand; it must be lived in, much like someone who wants "farm life" must actually live near a farm rather than staying in a smog-filled city and hoping for chickens and cows to appear. She turns the lesson toward her own surroundings, describing the golf course, white birds, and newly built squash and basketball courts near her home, noting that each environment attracts the people suited to it, golfers to the golf course, ballplayers to the court. She argues the same principle governs joyful manifestation: listeners will only encounter it by placing themselves in the right environment, since staying in the wrong setting and expecting the energy to arrive anyway is "faulty thinking."

Good Fortune, Divine Colors, And A Weekly Reminder
Suganthi connects joyful manifestation directly to good fortune, telling listeners that consistently practicing joyful manifestation results in good fortune, so the two energies are essentially the same. She frames The Joyful Manifestation Show and its companion, The Good Fortune Show, as weekly reminders, each ending on a Friday, meant to reset listeners onto the right path for the week ahead. She describes herself not as the inventor of these ideas but as someone who discovered pieces of truths she credits to "divine forces," illustrating the point with a painter's canvas: choosing blue, white, and yellow produces brightness, while black and grey create a darker night scene, and she tells listeners they are the artists choosing their own palette. She closes the segment calling her audience "artists" and encouraging them to treat the show as their personal reminder to stay in joyful manifestation energy, before cueing a music break ahead of the money segment.

Money Cards: Feelings, Attraction, And Evolving Life
Returning from break, Suganthi moves into money manifestation, pulling a repeated card from Esther and Jerry Hicks' Money and the Law of Attraction deck, reading "I am becoming more aware of my feelings about money" and its reverse side, which warns against describing finances factually as "lackful" rather than as desired. She tells listeners to examine their own feelings about money, insisting flatly that "money is very easy to attract" and urging repetition of that phrase against any belief that earning is hard. She then reads a second card, "Life is always working out for me," along with its expanded text about things constantly evolving toward something better. Applying it to a fictitious character named Jane, she argues nobody needs to "beat their head against walls," since even an imperfect present moment is already changing for the better, and she reminds listeners that noticing evidence of things improving produces more of that same evidence.

Bridges, Traffic, And A Vibrational Universe
Suganthi illustrates the "life is always working out" card with an extended account of her own commute, contrasting ordinary traffic and trucks on city streets with a particular toll bridge that carries her, across about 3.5 kilometers, almost directly to a cruise ship dock surrounded by sea views. She frames this as proof that "beauty is connected to beauty," arguing that deliberately focusing on such scenic routes rather than congested suburban streets builds a vibrational match that draws more beauty, and by extension money, into her life. She adds a passing reflection that any country wanting to appear powerful in the world should first look after its own infrastructure. She then reads a card declaring "I am a vibrational being in a vibrational universe," followed by one on wanting to "harmonize with my desire," whose reverse explains that noticing a negative emotion and turning attention toward what one actually wants stops negative attraction and starts positive attraction, a process the card calls "the power of pivoting."

Pivoting From Traffic Patterns To Self-Worth
Suganthi applies the power of pivoting literally to her complaints about local traffic, describing how imagining better traffic patterns in England, Canada, the United States, or Australia shifts her feeling from negative to positive even before any trip takes place. She extends the same pivoting technique to money, telling listeners to stop dwelling on what they lack and instead repeat affirmations such as "I'm worthy of this money" and "my power to attract money is awesome." Having worked through money, career, and good fortune, she announces the transition into the next segment on soulmate, love, and sex manifestation, inviting listeners to stay through a music break featuring the show's own bumper song, whose repeated lyrics promise "joyful manifestation, love and sex." She frames the upcoming segment as a continuation of the same pivoting principle, now aimed at romantic attraction rather than traffic or finances, before cueing the music and signing off temporarily.

Tuning The Radio Dial Toward Love
Back from the break, Suganthi turns to soulmate manifestation, introducing a card reading "the better it gets, the better it gets" and building an extended metaphor around the word "tuning," describing listeners as "walking, talking radio dials" who are always tuned into some broadcast and must consciously choose to tune into the presence of love rather than its absence. Using a fictitious man named John and a fictitious woman named Jane, she contrasts the thought "his eyes follow me wherever I go" with "he doesn't even know that I exist," arguing that whichever thought a person tunes into becomes their experienced reality. She ties this to self-worth, clarifying that true self-worth is not aggressive or defensive but a quiet certainty that another person "can't but help like" oneself. Running short on time, Suganthi wraps the show, promising to return the following Friday at seven p.m. Pacific and signing off for The Joyful Manifestation Show as instrumental outro music plays.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna

Mayan Day-Count, Kryon's Dimensional Shift and a Divine Government Invocation with Patricia Cota-Robles

Tara Green and Rama Arjuna open the hour with a Mayan day-count and the weekly funding appeal, then share Rama's dated field dispatches, a channeled Kryon teaching from Lee Carroll, a channeled Mother dialogue and a recorded invocation from Patricia Cota-Robles.

Opening Breath and the Mayan Day-Count
Rainbird opens the broadcast by inviting listeners to take a few breaths and move into their heart center, gathering guides, guardians, ancestors and healing teams around a campfire. She drums with a kimi drum and calls in the seven galactic directions of the Mayan tradition, chanting "Ah Yum, Hunab Ku, Evam Maya, E Ma Ho" and "In Lak'ech Ala K'in." She reads the week's Mayan record of days. Today is 11 Caban, the Red Spectral Earth, whose key words are releasing, liberation and dissolve. Saturday brings 12 Etznab, the White Crystal Mirror, and Sunday a portal day, the Blue Cosmic Storm, closing a wave of purification. Monday starts a new thirteen-day wave with 1 Ahau, the Yellow Magnetic Sun, and Tuesday begins the solar glyphs with Imix. Rainbird pauses to correct herself while she reads, and some of the tones and names are garbled in the source transcript. She offers a mantra and a release for each day, asking listeners to let go of fear and separation.

Listener Support and the Weekly Appeal
Rainbird shifts into the weekly funding appeal, explaining that BBS Radio needs $184 each week for the Friday program on Station 1, and directing listeners to bbsradio.com, where the show appears at the 8:00 hour Central time. She also promotes the Saturday program on Station 2 at the 3:30 hour and says Tara and Rama need $200 a week for living expenses plus another $200 in bills, including a Windstream payment of $79 due Monday and an electric bill of $115. Donations can be sent by PayPal under the name Rainbow Roundtable, or by check or money order to a post office box in Santa Cruz, New Mexico, and listeners are asked to go into their heart space and see what is theirs to give. Rainbird thanks the audience thirteen times, before ceremonially passing a talking stick decorated with rays, flames and fairies to Tara and Rama, who greet the listeners.

Rama's Dispatches from Moon Mountain and the Middle East
Rama reads a run of dated dispatches from September 25 through 30. He describes sitting with deer, crows, cats and coyotes at St. John's College, Moon Mountain, Sun Mountain, Abiquiu and the I AM Sanctuary, feeding them and walking in circles while chanting the Gayatri or Adi Shakti mantra. Messages from the crew and from Lady Nada follow, and she says she is at the UN Security Council about Israel and the Middle East, asking listeners to send the violet flame and the emerald-green and sapphire-blue rays over the region. Another message, from Mr. X, links the sapphire blue ray to Lord Michael as the planet's saving grace. Rama also reads, and the hosts react with surprise to, an account of a flight said to have made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after a fight between pilots, a claim he presents without verification. Tara adds that the aircraft dropped to 17,000 feet before it stabilized. Some names here are garbled in the source transcript.

Lee Carroll Channels Kryon on Dimensional Shift
Rama introduces about twelve minutes of channeled teaching from Lee Carroll, who speaks as Kryon of Magnetic Service on the attributes of dimensional shift. Kryon tells listeners that they are never alone, that an angelic entourage surrounds every lightworker and old soul, and that help arrives as soon as intent is given. He cautions against using old processes in a new energy, and advises people to ask Spirit for intuition rather than making a prayer list of what they think they need. Kryon names two attributes that many feel, weariness that is "not a weight at all" but change, and anxiety that can turn into fear. His remedy is to go to source in prayer and to read the news rather than let it set the tone. Kryon declines to number the dimensions, saying each person has an individual shift. Rama confirms he has felt the tiredness, and Tara notes that October 16 is a date of very large energy.

Conference Line and the Channeled Mother Dialogue
Rama and Tara read out the conference-call number, then invoke Saint Germain and the violet flame to open a channeled dialogue. Rama speaks as a presence the hosts call Mother, who speaks of a shift in the quantum field on the blue-green dot that Carl Sagan once described, and of everyone receiving an upgrade in their bodies. Mother references Martin Luther King's promised land, describes Gaia and Pachamama working with the quantum field, and calls the planet's nations one family. On the Middle East, Mother says there is only one nation there, Palestine, and that Israel is a fiction. Tara asks how people can navigate the changes, and Mother answers that the heart is the guiding force, rather than hate or division. Mother also likens the heart to the philosopher's stone of alchemy, and Rama and Tara close the invocation with a chant of Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, Adonai Tzva'ot. Several passages here are garbled in the source transcript, and the material is presented as channeled speech.

Patricia Cota-Robles's Divine Government Invocation and Sign-Off
Rama passes the talking stick to a recorded segment of about twenty-three minutes from Patricia Cota-Robles on divine government. She describes the Company of Heaven encouraging humanity to hold sacred space for divine government, a government of the I AM Presence, rooted in oneness, divine love and reverence for all life, and warns that the purging visible in the news will be confusing and painful for many. She then leads a first-person invocation, calling on Archangel Michael, Saint Germain, Lord Maitreya and the goddesses of liberty, justice, freedom, victory and glory to stand at the cardinal points. She asks that the I AM Presence of every person associated with government be encoded with their divine plan. Breath by breath she invokes the blue, pink and yellow-gold flames of power, love and Christ consciousness, and closes by decreeing that divine government shall manifest now. Tara thanks the listeners, and the talking stick passes to Rainbird, who thanks the audience and promises to return the next day on Station 2.

All Learning Reimagined with Teresa

Imagine What Doesn't Exist Yet - Ep3 of The Art of Imagination

Teresa Songbird closes her three-part Art of Imagination series by asking what else we might create. She explores the tyranny of how, the green pill, the good ancestor question, and a micro-practice called The Impossible Future.

Looking at Ordinary Objects
Teresa Songbird opens the final episode of her Art of Imagination series by setting aside her usual story and asking listeners to look around wherever they are. She invites them to choose one ordinary object, such as a phone, a lamp, a chair, a window, or an aircraft overhead. Her point is that almost everything human made once existed first in imagination before it existed in physical form. To make the idea vivid, she imagines telling someone centuries ago about a small device in a pocket that lets a person see and speak with someone across the planet, look up libraries of information, navigate unfamiliar cities, and translate languages. Such a description, she suggests, might have sounded like magic. She notes that some theories claim similar technologies existed long ago, and she says she does not want to limit imagination to what recorded history tells us. She wants all doors and possibilities kept open.

The Tyranny of How
Teresa describes what she calls the tyranny of how, the habit of her own brain asking how an idea would work before the idea has had any room to breathe. She explains that a premature how can shut down possibility, just as a person centuries ago might have dismissed flight by saying humans have no wings. Teresa also raises a second kind of question, whether something should be created at all. She argues that not everything becomes right simply because it can be done, and that natural and universal law must be respected. Discernment, she says, helps people choose which possibilities deserve energy, time, and expression. Science fiction, she adds, has long let humans rehearse ideas before technology or culture catches up. She lists space travel, artificial intelligence, virtual worlds, robotics, genetic engineering, alternative realities, and communication with other forms of intelligence, including talking with trees and animals. Stories, she says, let audiences temporarily inhabit futures that do not yet appear to exist.

The Green Pill and Chosen Stories
Teresa turns to The Matrix, which she says created a shift in consciousness across the planet, though she admits she cannot claim to know what is true. She reflects on the red pill and blue pill, and on the choice itself as the important part. Then she describes a green pill, an idea she heard from someone whose name she cannot recall, which she loves because it is creational rather than oppositional. It does not deny what exists, but discerns what serves and what does not, and lets a person choose whether to participate. She suggests people stop swallowing anyone else's pills and start imagining their own possibilities. Films, she observes, often serve audiences a ready-made perspective, and she now watches them mainly to notice human capacity, the technologies imagined, the values, the consequences, and how her body responds. Teresa contrasts a habit of asking what we are creating with focusing on what is failing in politics, healthcare, education, and community, and asks where stories of nature, love, and flourishing communities are being told.

Imagining the Conditions for Flourishing
Teresa describes the future she chooses to imagine, one worth wanting, measured by the quality of experience rather than by flying cars, robots, or space travel. She pictures children who feel deeply known, older people who remain valued contributors, learning that follows curiosity as well as competence, and communities whose members know one another. Technology, in her vision, supports human capacity rather than competing for attention. She also imagines a world where people have time to create rather than working two jobs to afford food amid inflation, though she is careful not to dwell on those hardships. Her inspiration comes from nature, where a forest is not designed from above by one tree with a strategic plan. Living systems emerge through relationships, feedback, adaptation, cooperation, disturbance, and regeneration. Teresa says there is no need to finish the whole picture before creation begins, and that waiting to imagine until conditions change means the tomorrow never comes. She suggests imagining something, trying it, observing, responding, adapting, and inviting others to contribute.

Collective Imagination, Discernment, and Attention
Teresa describes collective imagination as not everyone seeing the same future, but moving in the same direction together. She imagines people with different ways of seeing, one noticing structure, another beauty, another the people or the land, a practical thinker, a wild thinker, someone asking uncomfortable questions, and someone seeing connections others miss. She introduces the good ancestor question as a personal filter, asking whether she would be proud to help make possible a future for people she will never meet. On artificial intelligence, she observes that technology can generate many possibilities quickly, and that people using it creatively are reaching large audiences, but she insists that humans determine what is meaningful, ethical, beautiful, or life-giving. Imagination opens the door, discernment chooses, and attention and intention then move into action. Teresa asks listeners whether they are a consumer or a creator, and whether an idea comes from themselves or from the energetic weather around them. She names stillness as essential, and describes a whole-body yes when heart, gut, and highest excitement align.

The Impossible Future Practice and Next Week
Teresa closes with this week's micro-practice, called The Impossible Future. Listeners choose an area they care about, such as aging, food, housing, or nature, then set aside the question of how it would be done. For ten minutes they ask what the thing could become if they were free to imagine it differently, including ideas that are ridiculous. She offers aging as an example, pointing out that some animals regenerate limbs and asking why humans cannot. She is clear that this is not her own direct experience, but that people she has spoken with describe such capabilities, and the seed is now planted in her imagination. She encourages listeners to ask what quality sits beneath an idea, using a flying school as a question about freedom and a village as one about belonging. Teresa says her reflection questions will appear in the week's article on the BBS Radio website. She previews next week's show on joy, one of her favorite words, and signs off with explore, experience, express, and go out and live learning.
