Wow Tereza ... you are full of surprises, and mention a lot of my favorite names, surprised and grateful for the mention of mine. I actually exchanged a few short e-mails with Jill before I had come to realize how famous she was. Then I backed off to let her do her thing. But I hear that she still tries to answer every e-mail to her.

You cover a lot of ground, with huge strides, and surprising hops. Russell Brand kissing Yuval Harari? I couldn't even imagine that. But talk about synchronicity โ€” ! I just discovered DALL-E (finally got logged on and generated some great 'mandelbrot crow' pics) and through a YouTube reviewer (Middle Eastern guy?). discovered Midjourney just yesterday (can't seem to log into it yet). I noticed that crow on the front of your final YouTube. You brought up possibilities for those image generators that I had not yet imagined, but as I saw DALL-E generating one after another, I realized the same thing could be done with musical patterns ... and wondered how this was going to effect those who make their living from long years of developing their artistic skills.

It will take a while to look at your YouTubes, and digest, much less respond ... but I am blown away by your sheer energy!

Looking forward to digging deeper.

Cheers from a blistering hot Tokyo, Tereza.

p.s. I thought you might like this, a piece by one of my all time favorite 'chamber-jazz' groups.

Wow that's great that you were in touch with Jill. Would you send me her email? I'll let her know about the video, just for her amusement.

That does sound like a fun program, although I'm still mystified by the misinformation thing. Ernest, who I mention in the YT response, was one of the pioneers of the early synthesizers in music. He continues to be amazed at what's possible with inexpensive apps now.

Looking forward to your responses to whatever strikes your fancy!

Hi Tereza ...

Just woke up, and still groggy without my java-fix, but here's Jill's e-mail address ...

drjill@drjilltaylor.com

I hope it is still good because I noticed that exchange was in 2009.

Will get back to you later when I a fully caffeinated human. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Jillโ€™s TEDx talk was amazing. I watched it a long time ago and I had forgotten her conclusions about the importance of both sides of the brain. ๏ฟผI did not remember her conclusion about the importance of Running the deep inner peace circuitry to project that peace into the world๏ฟผ

I'm so happy that you'd already seen it. It was such a profound insight. Steve, who commented above, recommended it and is an interesting thinker located in Japan. Such a diverse group!

Went through your Socio โ€“ spirituality playlist. So many ideas!

I will probably want to comment on each.

You use the term โ€œrevelationโ€ for what I think of as a โ€œholy instant.โ€ I didnโ€™t remember ACIM using the word - But itโ€™s actually use 35 times, almost exclusively in the first five chapters.

Not that I doubted it, but your quote was right there - first line of the first paragraph, of the second section of the first chapter. (And, of course the first section๏ฟผ, Is just a laundry list).

Itโ€™s a beautiful paragraph I canโ€™t believe I had forgotten it.

๏ฟผ

i would love for you to comment on each one! It's such a joy to get to be in communication-communion. You must know the same trick as my daughter, to put the course into a Google doc, is it? and do a search on it. I'd doubted that something Marianne Williamson quoted was in there, but there it was. And I forgot if I told you about that episode, Spiritual Optimism & Political Radicalism. It might be in the Where Are the Women? playlist since I keep having a hard time finding enough women to fill that up. Oh no, here it is in What is Reality? https://youtu.be/S9MQuUZ_hyM

A friend left me the concordance when she died. Lots of stories.

Thanks for all the reminders of past insights... gleaned over 30 years... and more... loved hearing your angles of understanding... I too was introduced to DALL-E yesterday on a very different podcast and love the synchronicities that abound...

Yay for synchronicities! Maybe that should be our new name for sibling cities--synchrony cities.
