The Church of the Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie

Heaven's Light, the Face of God, and Why Earth Is the Hardest School in the Universe

In a solo, thirty-minute broadcast, Reverend Blake Rubie describes what he believes heaven and the mother and father God actually look like, explains the soul as a spark of divine light, and argues that Earth is one of the hardest schools in the universe, closing with a prayer for peace.

A Show Nine Years in the Making
Reverend Blake Rubie opens by welcoming "internet radio land" to The Church of the Soul's Evolution, noting the program has run under different names, including Spirits of the Universe and God Is on the Sun, since he began broadcasting around 2017. He says he keeps returning to the same core subject, spirituality, because he is grateful for the chance to send his words out to help make the world better. He tells listeners that despite the many competing churches that each claim to hold the exclusive truth, heaven itself has no religion. There, he says, the only order of business is to praise the mother and father God, a king and queen who are soulmates to one another, since a father alone cannot create children. He adds that today's broadcast will run only thirty minutes because he has errands to run and an eight o'clock teleconference with friends in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he and his wife are considering moving.

Standing Before the Mother and Father God
Rubie describes the pre-existence, the state in which every spirit lived before being born on Earth, and says each soul once stood before its co-creator God to receive a mission to help make the world better and work toward peace. He tells listeners that when they eventually reach their own expiration date, they will stand before the mother and father God and behold a light so brilliant it will wash over them like a hurricane-force wind. He explains that every soul carries its own spark of that same divine light, comparing the soul to a lantern holding a small flame lit from the Creator's fire. Every spirit, he says, is born on a sun, not necessarily this one, and could originate anywhere among the countless solar systems of the Milky Way or other galaxies, meaning some listeners may be old souls, mystic travelers who move from planet to planet across many lifetimes.

Category Planets, Prayer, and the Wars of Today
Rubie lays out his ranking of inhabited worlds on a scale from one to nine, placing Earth at category one and describing more advanced planets, such as a hypothetical category six, whose souls sometimes volunteer to reincarnate here on a mission from the mother and father God to help humanity through hard times. He points to the ongoing wars in Iran and Ukraine, and to more than eighty thousand deaths in the Gaza Strip, as evidence of a struggling planet. Repeating a phrase he says he has used on earlier shows, he tells listeners that man will prey on man until man learns to pray for man, spelling out both words, and adds the same is true of women. He argues that individual prayers genuinely make a difference and that the meanness, unkindness, and heartlessness seen in the news reflect people who have not yet learned that lesson.

Life Reviews and the Face of Father God
Rubie describes the life review he believes every soul undergoes before the mother and father God, in which a person relives every moment from birth to death, including old childhood pains, from an outside perspective. He says nobody knows their expiration date in advance, whether it comes in a car wreck, by drowning, or in old age, and calls every day on Earth a gift. Drawing on a book he recommends, The Soul's Remembrance by Roy Mills, he offers a detailed physical description of the father God: roughly twice the height of an ordinary man, with a large mane of white, flowing hair, a face marked equally by love and authority, bare feet, and a heavily muscular build he compares to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He adds that the Creator's eyes hold pools of love but can also feel terrible, because they contain everything that being has witnessed across the ages.

Angels, the Tunnel of Light, and Mother God
Turning to what happens after the expiration date, Rubie tells listeners they may be met by angels, by deceased relatives, or by a chariot driven by Archangel Gabriel, all leading to the tunnel of light he identifies with the spirit world itself. He estimates that roughly eighty percent of people go on to that world of light, while those who lived as bullies, tyrants, or killers first pass through a place of rehabilitation he calls God's jail, or hell, before continuing their soul's journey. He describes the mother God as royal and almost impossibly beautiful, comparing her to Queen Elizabeth, and says the mother and father God created the planets of the solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the Sun itself, using nothing but the power of spoken words, a cosmic force he says advanced souls eventually learn to wield themselves.

Earth's Hard Lessons and a Closing Prayer
Rubie calls Earth one of the most difficult schools in what he terms the university of the universe, arguing that living alongside animals that kill and eat one another, lions taking down gazelles, snakes devouring rats, is one of the deepest sources of pain for spirits used to a place of love. He shares that he is seventy two years old, vegan for twenty seven years, and living with one kidney, explaining he adopted the diet for health reasons and says he will not judge listeners who eat meat, since he did so himself for forty four years. He contrasts Earth's violence with heaven, where he says predator and prey animals live together in harmony. The broadcast closes with Rubie leading an extended prayer thanking the Creator of the universe for life and existence, asking for blessings on all of God's children, and signing off with love to his audience.

A Qmen Perspective with Kevin and John

Mole Hunts, a Tri-Polar World, and the Truth Behind 9/11

Kevin and Johnny Boy work through a stack of online posts covering a Pentagon mole hunt, rumors that the midterms could be postponed, a proposed tri-polar world order, and a tribute to the rescue dogs of September 11th, all mixed with garden talk and family memories.

Grand Rising and Show Shout-Outs
Kevin opens the show with his usual "grand rising" greeting and welcomes co-host Johnny Boy, describing A Qmen Perspective as a place to bring darkness into the light through exopolitics, geopolitics, advanced technology, and New Earth insights. The hosts thank BBS Radio TV for its engineering and music support and give a shout-out to sister programs on the network, naming All Learning Reimagined with Teresa, Project Review with Q&A with Arrow, and A Saint Thomas Show. Johnny Boy shares a garden update, describing a harvest of bright red hot peppers, tomatoes, and fresh mint bound for the dehydrator, sometimes blended with organic cocoa into a chocolate mint tea. Kevin asks about the changing leaves, and Johnny Boy explains the hardwoods are only beginning to turn after a hot summer. Kevin then reads the call-in numbers for listeners inside and outside the United States and thanks everyone who already subscribes or donates to the show before turning to the day's material.

Stillness, Passports and Inalienable Rights
The hosts turn to a new meme posted on forthepeople.space showing a red-robed figure approaching a snow-covered fortress beneath a Lao Tzu quote: "To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders." Kevin connects the image to Q's teaching of dropping thoughts from the mind into the heart, and both hosts discuss the difficulty of meditation and the value of staying calm and grounded amid turbulent times. Kevin then reads a post about Eric Trump's new passport, which pictures President Trump with open arms on its inside cover, and Old Cowboy's argument that every American should receive a similar passport so driver's licenses, vehicle taxes, and fees can be abolished as unlawful fraud. Kevin agrees that highways and even the family car effectively belong to the state under the current system. He follows with a reading of unalienable rights he says predate government, including the rights to life, freedom, a fair wage, self-defense, trial by jury, refusal to kill by conscience, and to live in peace undisturbed.

Deep-State Moles and Golden Dome Chatter
The hosts move to comments attributed to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissing reports of Iranian mines in the strait as media-amplified propaganda from a panicked regime. They then discuss Katisthesea3's report on Dan Driscoll's resignation as Secretary of the Army, framing it as a deliberate operation in which Driscoll publicly criticized President Trump and Secretary Hegseth to draw out deep-state generals plotting a coup, leading to detentions and arrests tied to South Korea and a technology corridor the hosts describe running from Philadelphia to Israel, South Korea, and Nellis Air Force Base, the same region associated with the Philadelphia Experiment and the USS Eldridge. Old Cowboy suggests anyone opposing the president at this point must be hiding crimes far worse than treason. The hosts then describe a short White House video of a television being plugged in and switching to static, which they read as a hint that an Emergency Broadcast System activation may be approaching, prompting Old Cowboy's quip that he is "still sitting here waiting."

Feminism, Family and Hidden Technology
Kevin and Johnny Boy read Katisthesea3's report on the death of Gloria Steinem at 92, citing a 1967 New York Times story linking her early foundation work to CIA funding, and Old Cowboy's claim that she has a masculine jawline suggesting an "Illuminati inversion." Jan Halper and Q The Storm Rider material describe the CIA and David Rockefeller using the feminist movement to push women into the workforce, tax both incomes, and dismantle the traditional family, a theme Johnny Boy connects to his own memories of a stay-at-home mother and the latchkey-kids era. Both hosts lament the loss of family-oriented television, naming The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie, and note Hallmark as one of the few holdouts. The conversation shifts to claims from Q The Storm Rider that Elon Musk's leaked video of an oval "portal cannon" and a deleted Trump video about healing technology are deliberate drip-disclosure, followed by material describing AI data centers as part of a hidden Golden Dome network and a "living light cube" more powerful than described religious figures.

Rockefeller, Midterms and a Tri-Polar World
After a break, the hosts revisit John D. Rockefeller, whom Old Cowboy claims was really a Rothschild of non-human "Khazar" lineage who coined "fossil fuels" to manufacture scarcity, alongside claims that oil is continuously produced by the earth and that longevity secrets like adrenochrome explain aging in figures such as Rockefeller and various celebrities. The conversation turns to speculation that the November 4th midterm elections may be postponed, with Q The Storm Rider material describing President Trump acting under a "continuity of military government" as commander-in-chief to decertify officials tied to election fraud, and Old Cowboy recommending listeners keep extra food, water, and cash on hand. Kevin and Johnny Boy then discuss a proposed "tri-polar world" of Americas, Russias, and Chinas said to be forming after talks between Trump, Putin, and Xi, complete with shared Arctic access, before laughing over a string of Truth Social memes renaming New Mexico to "New America," Lake Ontario to "Lake America," and the Strait of Hormuz to "Trump Strait."

Fraud Crackdowns, 9/11 Tribute and Sign-Off
The hosts read reports on immigration enforcement, including Nick Shirley's investigation into fraudulent Los Angeles hospices stocked with luxury vehicles, and Stephen Miller's announcement that the Treasury and banks will cut illegal immigrants off from banking services to encourage self-deportation. They then pay tribute to search-and-rescue dogs from the September 11th attacks, reading Katisthesea3's account of canines including Apollo, Riley, Bretagne, and Trakr working the rubble at Ground Zero. Old Cowboy's claims follow, arguing the towers were brought down partly by directed-energy weapons and nanothermite that turned steel, concrete, and victims into dust, citing Dr. Judy Wood's research and temperature comparisons between jet fuel, steel, and nanothermite. Kevin and Johnny Boy call it new information worth considering. The show winds down with a run of jokes about a blonde neighbor's mailbox, a ten-eyed spider, and aging bodies, before the hosts thank their content sources, encourage listeners to stay heart-centered and spend more time in nature, and sign off until the next broadcast on September 19th.

The Good Fortune Show, September 11, 2026

The Good Fortune Show with Sugandhi Iyer

Karma, Dharma, and the Vibration of Good Fortune

Sugandhi Iyer connects karma, dharma, and the Law of Attraction, explaining how repeated vibrations create traps for thieves and world leaders alike, then contrasts cruise-ship luxury with everyday traffic before leading listeners through a set of good-fortune affirmations.

Focusing Attention To Attract Abundance
Sugandhi Iyer opens The Good Fortune Show by restating a core Law of Attraction principle: what a person focuses on expands to create reality. She explains that noticing a certain flower repeatedly tends to draw more of that flower into view, and applies the same logic to money, encouraging listeners to notice dollar signs and dollar bills rather than avoid them. She suggests downloading a printable check or bill marked with a large sum, such as one million dollars, for visualization purposes, and pinning it somewhere private so it will not be mocked. Iyer frames this as more than superstition, calling it "science happening" through what she describes as the law of energy. She contrasts people who follow only physical laws, reacting to insults or betrayals with immediate retaliation, with those who instead try to read the deeper energetic pattern behind an event before responding.

Karma Dharma And The Universal Manager
Iyer then distinguishes karma from dharma, explaining that karma concerns action and inaction while dharma concerns duty. She says both action and failure to act create karma, giving the example of a man who loses the love of his life simply by never taking the action required. Dharma, she says, is tied to one's responsibilities toward another person or an organization, and doing that duty well becomes encoded in a person's aura. She describes the Law of Attraction as a kind of universal manager that mirrors back whatever a person's consciousness contains, so someone who performs his duty faithfully eventually receives recognition, promotions, or business growth in return. Iyer stresses that karma, dharma, and the Law of Attraction are deeply connected even though different religions and cultures, from Hinduism to Buddhism to Christianity, have separated these ideas into distinct traditions. She adds that fear-based teachings about sin and punishment misrepresent what she considers a purely energetic, consequence-based system.

Traps Thieves And The Vibration Of Getting Caught
Iyer turns to what happens when someone repeatedly breaks society's codes, using theft as her example. She explains that a person who robs again and again builds up a vibration of "I am a thief" until that signal becomes strong enough for police, whom she compares to intuitive hound dogs, to zero in on him. She invents fictitious Jane, who reads news of smugglers who were never caught and concludes she too can get away with it, only to eventually be caught herself. Iyer insists that stories of people escaping consequences are not proof the system fails but are, in her words, traps designed to lure others into similar behavior. She reminds listeners that the universe is not interested in punishment for its own sake; it simply reflects back whatever vibration a person's actions have built into their energy field, whether that person is an ordinary criminal or, she notes, a world leader hiding a true agenda behind a public face.

Reading Vibration Through The Hicks Card
After a music break, Iyer returns and reads from an Ask and It Is Given card by Esther and Jerry Hicks, quoting its statement that a person is, even in physical flesh and bone, a vibrational being whose entire physical environment is vibrational, understood only through the ability to translate vibration. She connects this to world leaders she says stand on quicksand without reading the energy around them, pulled toward consequences they never expected. Iyer explains why people consult psychics, describing them as individuals wired from birth or later in life to translate vibration for others, but cautions that a good psychic should help a client climb out of a difficult pattern rather than describe only frightening possibilities that pull someone further into it. She points to ongoing conflicts such as those involving Russia and the Israel-Palestine region as examples of parties who, in her view, keep walking back into the same energetic trap instead of learning to translate the vibrations around them.

Fictitious John Jane And Emotional Imprints
Iyer illustrates emotional imprinting with a fictitious couple: John, who is repeatedly abused by Jane. She says each incident stamps his energy field with the belief "I am an abused husband," thickening what she calls his emotional body with victimization until he sinks deeper into what she terms quicksand. Escaping the relationship alone will not fix things, she warns, unless John also changes the underlying consciousness, since unresolved imprints simply attract a similarly painful situation next. She notes that healing sessions such as Reiki or Pranic work can clear negative energy temporarily, but real change requires him to genuinely believe he is worthy of love and success. Iyer contrasts the vibration of "I am a victim" with the vibration of "I am a successful man who attracts women who appreciate him," arguing that the words themselves carry entirely different energetic signatures. She notes she chose a male victim deliberately, since abuse narratives usually cast men as the abuser.

Cruise Ships Traffic And Closing Affirmations
Iyer closes by contrasting the vibration of a cruise ship, where every passenger is treated as, in her words, a VVIP, with the vibration of traffic on an ordinary road, where a person feels like nobody among scooters, rickshaws, trucks, and buses. She says maintaining access to cruises and five-star hotels is a deliberate strategy for preserving good vibrations rather than letting the vibration of chaotic streets creep into one's consciousness. She applies the same principle to relationships, lifestyle, and work, encouraging listeners who cannot read their own energy at a job to ask a positive-minded psychic for guidance. Iyer then leads a series of spoken affirmations, each repeated twice, covering wealth, attractive and kind partners, family love, and a life filled with good fortune. She signs off announcing that she and her family are leaving on another cruise two hours after the broadcast, and invites listeners back the following Friday at 7:00 p.m. Pacific for the Joyful Manifestation show.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna

9/11 Anniversary Reflections, NESARA Hopes and a New Earth Invocation with Patricia Cota-Robles

On the 25th anniversary of September 11, hosts Tara Green and Rama Arjuna open with a Mayan calendar meditation, revisit 9/11 conspiracy theories and Gaza news through a NESARA lens, channel a message from an entity called Mother, and close with a recorded New Earth invocation from guest Patricia Cota-Robles.

Opening Meditation and Mayan Calendar Reading
Rainbird opens the broadcast with a guided breathing exercise, inviting listeners into their heart space to gather with guides, guardians, totems and ancestors around a virtual council fire. She drums and calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition, chanting "Ah Yum, Hunab Ku, Evam Maya, E Ma Ho" before reading the Mayan day-count for the week. Today is a 3 Cib Yellow Electric Warrior, and she moves through Saturday's Red Self-Existing Earth, Sunday's White Overtone Mirror, Monday's Blue Rhythmic Storm, Tuesday's Yellow Resonant Sun, Wednesday's Red Galactic Dragon, Thursday's White Solar Wind portal day, and Friday's Blue Planetary Night, timed to a first-quarter moon at 4:44 p.m. Eastern. For each glyph she gives a keyword mantra and urges listeners to release fear, judgment, separation, or self-doubt while embracing bonding, healing, intuition, and unconditional love. Several specialized Mayan calendar terms are difficult to hear clearly in the recording.

Listener Support and Community Needs
Rainbird then shifts into the weekly funding appeal, explaining that the Friday program needs $184 for its time with BBS Radio Station One and directing listeners to bbsradio.com, where the show is indexed as The Hard News. She also promotes the Saturday program on Station Two, The True History Herstory of NESARA, in the 3:30 hour. She lists what Tara and Rama need that week for living expenses, roughly $200, plus bills including an internet payment, a $50 Vonage bill, and $93 for car insurance, totaling close to $530. She gives the PayPal address for donations, koran9999@hotmail.com, and a mailing address for Ram D. Berkowitz at a post office box in Santa Cruz, New Mexico, along with the website rainbowroundtable.net and a GoFundMe for health supplements. Calling the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11 a time for the truth to surface, she thanks listeners thirteen times before ceremonially passing a talking stick to Tara and Rama.

Passing the Talking Stick: 9/11 and a New Timeline
Rama and Tara take up the talking stick on the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11, framing the night as evidence that an old timeline is unraveling. Tara predicts that Bush, Cheney and their circle will eventually be held accountable, and Rama argues the World Trade Center towers were demolished for insurance money, insisting Osama bin Laden, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza had nothing to do with the attacks. He describes speaking that day with a contact he calls the poppy lady and with a Gaza City acquaintance he names, in varying spellings, Lani, recounting her work for Al Jazeera and the loss of her family since Israel's invasion and occupation of the area. Both hosts describe the current moment as a new timeline arriving alongside a coming energetic "flash," urging listeners to send love rather than fear toward the people and events in the news, including the unfolding war and its casualties in Gaza and Lebanon.

Weekly Reports From Sun Mountain and the Crew
Rama then reads a string of dated field reports he has been keeping since September 4, describing daily visits to Sun Mountain, Moon Mountain, the I Am Sanctuary and Overlook Mountain, where he sits and walks in circles with deer, crows, hawks and bobcats to the Adi Shakti or Gayatri mantra. He recounts text messages he says arrive from figures he calls the King of Swords, Mr. X, Tom and "the crew," describing singing stones at Göbekli Tepe and in Scotland, Uranus turning retrograde, and possible tectonic movement near the San Andreas fault. Reports from the poppy lady and a contact named Rosa from Palestine describe casualties in Gaza and Lebanon and note Britain, France and Germany rebuking Israel over war crimes and Netanyahu closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem in response. Rainbird then returns to discuss claims that a particle-beam weapon toppled the towers, citing the website Veterans Today and Dr. Judy Wood's book Where Did the Towers Go?, before Rama reads a satirical 9/11 haiku from commentator Sam Sacks.

The Mother Dialogue on NESARA and World Events
Rama invokes Saint-Germain and the violet flame to call in a presence addressed as Mother, voiced through Tara, and asks what it will take to see NESARA announced. Mother describes the New Moon in Virgo, Mercury's motion, Uranus turning retrograde and Pluto surfacing old "underworld" issues as markers of a planetary shift, tying them to Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Earth's position relative to the star Vega. She calls conflicts over skin color a distraction from a shared "circle of life," and describes a Zionist agenda and Netanyahu, along with several unnamed Republicans, as clinging to power through force rather than legitimacy. She predicts sacred sites worldwide, including Göbekli Tepe, are "singing" as part of the shift, and calls for the Black Madonna and Mother Africa's wisdom to rise. Rama raises Abby Martin's coming film The Greatest Enemy, about the U.S. military, and the pair frame recent conflict as rooted in the misuse of Kundalini energy and violence against the feminine.

Patricia Cota-Robles's New Earth Invocation and Closing Thanks
Tara and Rama introduce a twenty-one-minute recorded message from Patricia Cota-Robles titled Accelerating the Manifestation of the New Earth. Cota-Robles describes the Company of Heaven celebrating activities of light performed during the recent Lion's Gate and eclipse series, and leads listeners through a first-person invocation asking her Father-Mother God to download "patterns of perfection" for peace, abundance, health, family life, creativity, and joy into Mother Earth's crystal grid. Afterward, Rainbird returns to close the show, apologizing for an echoing headset, thanking Mother, Cota-Robles, and the audience, and previewing Saturday's schedule before signing off with Rama and Tara. BBS Radio's Don then compliments the program as "insightful," and the hosts thank him for carrying the show. Don describes the newly launched BBS Radio TV site and a coming content-creator studio, saying the network's website is being completely rebuilt on a test server before going live, prompting Tara to call the changes part of a new "Age of Aquarius" for the station.

All Learning Reimagined with Teresa

Remember How to Imagine - Ep1 of The Art of Imagination

Teresa Songbird opens a new three-part series called The Art of Imagination, tracing how a childhood full of squiggles, clouds, and unstructured play gave way to adult habits of labeling and productivity, and inviting listeners to remember how to imagine again.

A New Series on the Art of Imagination
Teresa Songbird opens All Learning Reimagined by welcoming her regular listeners and thanking them for their feedback and well wishes on the show's weekly articles. She announces a new three-episode series called The Art of Imagination, following directly on from the series on attention the show has just finished, since imagination felt like a natural next step for a podcast about reimagining learning. She titles this opening episode Remember How to Imagine, explaining that when she sat with the topic she realized how vivid her imagination was as a child and teenager compared with now. Sitting beside her favorite tree while preparing the episode, she begins tracing how her imagination has shifted and changed through her life into adulthood. She invites listeners to set aside what they think they already know for these three episodes, promising to expand what feels possible and asking them to stay curious rather than certain.

Mr Squiggle and the Shapes in Clouds
Teresa recalls Mr Squiggle, an Australian children's television puppet with a pencil for a nose who transformed a few random squiggles on a page into an unexpected picture, sometimes only visible once the page was turned upside down or sideways. She says the picture was already there; what changed was perception. She also remembers lying on the ground as a child, watching clouds and finding whales, dragons, and entire floating cities, once believing she glimpsed beings on top of them. Today she still watches the sky often, though she says these days she is more likely to be looking at spraying she notices overhead than searching for shapes. She contrasts that adult habit with the openness of childhood and asks listeners to pause and remember the imaginative games they played growing up, then to raise the same question with their families, tracing when and why that kind of play seemed to fall away.

Labels, Categories, and a Child's Question
Teresa turns to how quickly adults label things and then stop looking at them, noting that a cardboard box which becomes a spaceship, shop, boat, or hiding place for a child is simply a box to most grown-ups. She suggests humanity has become extremely efficient at categorizing reality, learning what a chair, a job, a family, or an education is supposed to be, and that once something is labeled, imagination around it can wither. She calls categories useful and necessary, then asks whether recognition becoming automatic still carries a cost. She describes sitting near a child at a school production of Beauty and the Beast who spoke to the enchanted teapot and wardrobe as though they were fully conscious characters. When a parent explained the spell that turned the castle's people into objects, the same child wondered aloud who had to become the toilet, a moment Teresa says made her laugh out loud at the reach of a child's imagination.

Different Perceptions and the Weight of Productivity
Moving from labels to perception itself, Teresa notes that ten people looking at the same cloud might see a whale, a face, a spaceship, a continent, or simply condensed water vapor, each response valid within its own lens. She connects this to problem-solving, saying inventors typically see something and imagine a new use or adaptation for it, while a child looking at the same circumstance might just see a game. She admits she has come to dislike the word productive, saying the pressure to be productive has drained wonder from her own life and once led her to measure good days by output rather than joy. She describes learning to turn things around like Mr Squiggle's page, looking from another angle until something invisible before becomes visible, and argues that creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and play return once people stop asking only whether something is useful and start asking what else it might be.

Play Without Purpose and the Gift of Boredom
Teresa argues that imagination and play matter even without producing anything useful, describing how play improves cognitive flexibility and how employers increasingly want people who can think creatively and solve problems from new angles. She encourages adults, not just children, to draw badly, invent nonsensical games, or talk in silly accents purely for delight, without worrying how others might judge them. She then turns to boredom, saying she finds it exciting rather than alarming because it functions like an empty page that imagination needs to fill. She recalls her own childhood at the family beach house with no toys or equipment, where nature alone supplied enough for imagination to run wild. She contrasts that with children today whose every empty moment can be filled instantly by a screen, notification, or video, leaving little space for wonder, and suggests that rushing to solve a child's boredom, rather than sitting with it, may remove a valuable threshold before imagination takes over.

Movies, Reception, and This Week's Practices
Teresa suggests movies work like a laboratory for imagination, pointing to films such as The Matrix and Limitless as places where audiences can test the boundaries of what feels possible. She wonders aloud whether imagination is only something people generate or whether it might also be something received, comparing it to artists and musicians who describe an idea or melody as simply arriving. She contrasts an education system that rewards one correct answer with a version of learning that instead asks students for ten answers, three interpretations, or a genuinely impossible solution, arguing that knowledge is now instantly available while imagination is what rearranges it into something new. To close, she offers two practices for the week: a squiggle exchange, drawing random lines with someone and turning the page until a picture emerges, and cloud school, lying down to watch real clouds rather than any device. She directs listeners to the show's website for this week's article and promises to continue the series next week.
