Quantum Conversation

Episode #882 December 27, 2025 Every conversation begins like a universe before creation  — silent, suspended, full of unspoken potential.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BgF7Y3q-as Nothing in the universe exists but the possibility of meaning. Then the mind speaks, the universe listens, and the cosmos of understanding starts to unfold. When we talk about quantum mechanics, as in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? dares to do, we hear that observation changes what is observed. The act of looking, thinking, or feeling seems to coax the universe into form. Replace raw energy with ideas, and something similar happens every time we...

One Element One Moment

Episode #881 December 20, 2025 Everything in the universe is really only one element, vibrating in a single, timeless moment.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osmzwWw4RYM&list=RDosmzwWw4RYM&start_radio=1 That moment is not a sequence of events, but a single breath endlessly held. Time is how we feel the pulse of that one vibration—stretching the eternal into something we can live inside. The universe is not a collection of separate things, but one continuous field of energy, perceived as experience. Every atom hums the same song in 4:4 time, each with its own verse, yet all returning to the same refrain. Separation is an illusion created by...

Thermonuclear Radiation

Episode #880 December 13, 2025 My red-headed, light-skinned, Irish friend says, “I’m allergic to thermonuclear radiation.” So he always wears a wide-brimmed hat with a neck flap to shade against the sun.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmBTYK7XZQk&list=RDTmBTYK7XZQk&start_radio=1 When I wear my usual floppy boonie hat to the dermatologist, she always says, “I love your hat.” Recently, scientists have pointed out that resuming ground and surface fusion and fission nuclear explosive testing is dangerous and unnecessary. Releasing the radiation from a hydrogen bomb into the atmosphere and onto the Earth makes the sun seem like a microwave oven. Thermonuclear radiation can be harnessed. In...

High-level Thinkers

Episode #879 December 6, 2025 There are those among us who are high-level thinkers.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzkhSJkx7GY&list=RDAzkhSJkx7GY&start_radio=1   As with most skills and strengths, these high-level thinkers suffer negatives and criticisms. A high-level thinker is characterized as seeing the deeper meaning in everyday situations. This appearance of overanalyzing the mundane can provoke critics to dismiss these observations as overthinking. These “overthinkers” typically find multiple ways to solve a problem. Others might view this problem solving as a criticism of their own solutions rather than strategic depth and foresight. Like a philosopher, a thinking connector seeks to forge deep, meaningful relationships...

Turning Points

Episode #878 November 29, 2025 Turning Points by Ricki T Thues     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbXIACxwWbo&list=RDfbXIACxwWbo&start_radio=1 I am sitting with my favorite drink in my rocker, looking east from my patio in Aguanga. The eastern clouds are painted pink as a 360° sunset wraps around my cabin on the hilltop. A cool onshore summer breeze shivers the Mesquite tree. The Cypress buzzes. An owl hoots. My mind wanders... Walking into my second-grade classroom, I am oblivious of a turning point in my life, a new vector wholly unexpected. The teacher shuffles papers. I place an apple on her desk… my mother made...

Open Mind

Episode #877 November 22, 2025 Most social media and news reporting have become biased in one direction or another.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyvn3QR7BRk&list=RDTyvn3QR7BRk&start_radio=1 These outlets are split almost evenly in the US between red and blue viewpoints. Non-politically, red and blue can be associated with conservative and liberal. Few outlets are truly unbiased. Consider these two definitions from the dictionary: Conservative: Characterized by the maintenance of traditional institutions, customs, and values. Resistance to change, static. Defined by respect for authority and social order, personal responsibility, and minimal government intervention. Liberal: Characterized by a focus on progress, reform, and social change, progressive. Supportive...
