MONDAY NIGHT, MARCH 12



12-1:30 Rick Jarow, "The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide"
The Inner Path to Finding Your Work i the World'
Sessions 3 & 4

According to the perennial wisdom teachings, your vocation is not a means of survival in the world-it is a pure expression of your life force. Vocation arises, not as a response to external forces, but authentically from within your own body.
To the modern mind, this approach to work sounds radical. But for more than 3,000 years, sacred traditions in the East and West have allowed vocation to serve as a platform for spiritual and material growth. The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide is the first audio curriculum that adapts this classic approach to right livelihood to the challenges unique to our place and time.
Based on the national anti-career workshops taught by Dr. Rick Jarow since 1988, this is the same life-changing program that has helped thousands of frustrated job-seekers open to their intuition, transform their values into action, and answer their true calling-instead of settling for a paycheck.
Traditional career strategies are simply reactions to the job market, Dr. Jarow begins-for example, matching an inventory of skills with the want ads. An anticareer is a manifestation of the unique blueprint for your destiny encoded in your body since birth. The key to this revolutionary approach is your body's chakra system, the seven centers that govern the free flow of prana, or life force, through your body. Through a program of powerful meditations, you gain direct access to your chakras, clearing and aligning them with the energetic forces that make everything in life possible.
You don't have to go out looking for a job, Dr. Jarow says. The job you were born to do will unfold in time, like a tree from a seed, as you let go of self-limiting concepts and open to the energy of creation-with The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide.

Session 3 of 12: Abundance Reconsidered
Learning to work from a sense of abundance. The Japanese robot story. The first chakra: seat of scarcity/abundance. Cultivating 'root energy.' Positive imaging exercise. Developing a practice for flow of power and alignment. Work on relationship. Feeling, family, and fate. The second chakra: passion. More.

Session 4 of 12: Challenges and Obstacles.
Creative ways to deal with rejection and catastrophes. Teachings from Hilda Charlton and the shamans. The obstacle as ally. The example of Paul Hawken. Office politics and family dynamics. What occurs beneath the world of intention. Taking an honest inventory of our desires. 'What if" exercise. More

Rick Jarow is a professor of religious studies in Vassar College, a former Melon Fellow at Columbia University and a practicing career counselor. His popular Anti-Career Workshops, which he has taught internationally, are based on years of research and practice encompassing both Eastern and Western Traditions. He is the author of 'In Search of the Sacred' and 'Creating the Work You Love.'

1:30-3 David Whyte, "Midlife and the Great Unknown"
'Finding Courage and Clarity Through Poetry' Part 1 of 2

"In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost." When you find yourself suddenly without bearings, as Dante Alighieri voiced so well centuries ago, where will you look for guidance?

Throughout the ages, teaches David Whyte, the language of poetry has held a special power to hazard ourselves boldly at the fierce edges of our lives. On Midlife and the Great Unknown, you will engage with poetic imagination as it was meant to be experienced: as your companion and guide for the challenging terrain of midlife. Join this Yorkshire-born poet and bestselling author to explore:

Radical simplification-an invitation to sit in silent reflection and observation
Using your poetic imagination to navigate life's cycles of loss and joy
Honoring who you are right now, including your skills and limitations, and more
The language of poetry can emancipate you into the next phase of your existence, teaches David Whyte. It can help you break through obstacles and give you courage to take necessary risks. Drawing from the wisdom of fellow poets Rainer Maria Rilke, Emily Dickinson, and Seamus Heaney, Whyte invites you to boldly engage in a conversation with the second half of your life on Midlife and the Great Unknown

Part 1 of 2: Living a Courageous Life. Attempting to get tired of yourself. The antidote to exhaustion is not rest. Radical amplification. Harvesting the gifts of life. A new conversation with reality. Extraordinary transformations.

David Whyte is an internationally recognized poet, prose author, naturalist, and thinker in organizational leadership. He grew up in Yorkshire of an Irish Mother and lives in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. He is the author of six plus books of poetry including 'River Flow' and three bestselling prose books including more recently 'the Three Marriages: Re-imagining Wind, Self, and Relationship."

Is the human body merely a complex biological machine, or is our health sustained by 'subtle energies' that can be guided for healing? These are the questions that are posed by the field of energy medicine. Since 1990, the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, the ISSSEEM, has hosted the world's most eminent scholars and practitioners within this revolutionary new medical field. From the effects of bioelectromagnetic energy on the body to the healing effects of prayer to subtle energy practices of other cultures, 'Energy Medicine' gathers the best of ISSSEEM's celebrated conferences into one thought-provoking reference set. Twelve in depth and authoritative presentations will be presented here over the next several weeks.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MARCH 14

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #994 - What Was Old Is New Again"

This broadcast recaps material from previous programs, underscoring key points of information from current developments.

Last week, we opened our program with an article from Consortium News about some alarming developments in Ukraine-a piece of legislation approved by the Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) that might augur World War III.

One of the few media outlets that has covered the return to power of the OUN/B's successor fascist organizations in Ukraine, Consortium News was founded and headed by Robert Parry.

Parry passed away last weekend.

Mr. Emory posted the following comment on the Consortium News article about Robert's passing:

A very, very sad occasion. It was my privilege to have interviewed Robert a number of times over the years, including an interview-scheduled days before-that took place on the day he learned of Gary Webb's death.

It was also my privilege to have used many articles from Consortium News in my weekly broadcasts, including, and especially, his reportage about the return to power of the OUN/B successor organizations in Ukraine.

Very few have manifested the courage and integrity to report honestly on those events.

Now, there will be fewer.

Rest in peace, Robert.

Next, we return to the subject of Peter Thiel, of "Team Trump," Facebook and Palantir.

We have covered Peter Thiel in numerous programs, beginning with our warning about him in FTR #718.

Some of the points we have made about him include:

1.-His family background in the Frankfurt (Germany) chemical business. Probably I.G. Farben/Bormann, in that context.
2.-His primary role in Palantir, apparently the maker of the PRISM software at the epicenter of L'Affaire Snowden.
3.-His role as the primary financier of Ron Paul's super PAC. (Paul is an unabashed white supremacist, joined at the hip with David Duke and the neo-4.-Confederate movement. He was the Presidential candidate of choice for Eddie "The Friendly Spook" Snowden and Julian Assange.)
4.-Thiel's networking with movers and shakers from In-Q-Tel, the CIA's high-tech venture capital firm.
5.-Thiel's active anti-immigrant stance.
6.-Thiel's seminal networking with other tech titans and venture capital firms, including some with political and historical tributaries leading back to the apartheid regime in South Africa.

With Thiel among the candidates to head Trump's President's Intelligence Advisory Board, we note that his apocalyptic, anti-Enlightenment ideology draws on, among other influences, Carl Schmitt. Arguably the prime mover behind the German Conservative Revolution, Schmitt was also: ". . . . a Nazi and the Third Reich's preeminent legal theorist. For Thiel, Schmitt is an inspiring throwback to a pre-Enlightenment age, who exalts struggle and insists that the discovery of enemies is the foundation of politics. . ."

There has been a fair amount of buzz about the release of additional, previously classified, documents about the assassination of President Kennedy.

An interesting document came to light in the recent release of files relating to the assassination of JFK. Jack Ruby told an FBI informant to "watch the fireworks" in Dealey Plaza that day.

"Jack Ruby, the man who eventually shot Lee Harvey Oswald, told an FBI informant to 'watch the fireworks' on the day President John F. Kennedy was killed, according to new records the National Archives released Friday. . . . 'The informant stated that on the morning of the assassination, Ruby contacted him and asked if he would 'like to watch the fireworks," an FBI record dated April 6, 1977, says. 'He was with Jack Ruby and standing at the corner of the Postal Annex Building facing the Texas School Book Depository Building at the time of the shooting. . . ."

This might be evaluated against the background of FTR #963, relating-among other things-a reading of Jack Ruby's Warren Commission testimony. (A reading of Ruby's testimony is re-broadcast in this program.)

When interviewed by the Warren Commission, Jack Ruby indicated that he had been part of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy and that he feared for his life. The Warren Commission turned a deaf ear to his desire to go to Washington and "spill the beans."

Gerald Ford (who succeeded Nixon as President and pardoned him of all crimes committed), Leon Jaworski (a Warren Commission counsel who was a director of a CIA domestic funding conduit and who was selected by Nixon to be Watergate Special Prosecutor) and Arlen Specter (another Warren Commission counsel who was Nixon's first choice as his personal defense attorney in the Watergate affair) were present at Ruby's de facto confession.

Warren Commission Counsel J. Lee Rankin is also present at this interview. Nixon first selected J. Lee Rankin to serve as Watergate Special Prosecutor. Rankin was subsequently tabbed to review the Watergate tapes and determine which would be released. Rankin was the Warren Commission's liaison between the commission and both the CIA and the FBI. Rankin was a key proponent of the so-called "Magic Bullet Theory."

We conclude with discussion of another aspect of the JFK assassination.

Jane Mayer's Dark Money has received considerable discussion and media play over the last couple of years. In past discussion of the Koch family, we noted that patriarch Fred Koch worked with Hitler building one of Nazi Germany's most important refineries-one capable of refining the high-octane fuel needed by fighter planes.

In addition, we noted that Fred Koch was one of the first members of the John Birch Society.

Mayer notes that Fred Koch helped finance ads in the wake of the JFK assassination that pinned responsibility for the crime on the Soviet Union-one of the primary levels of disinformation.

" . . . . In a hasty turnabout, soon after the assassination, Fred Koch took out full-page ads in The New York Times and The Washington Post, mourning JFK. The ads advanced the conspiracy theory that JFK's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, had acted as part of a Communist plot. The Communists wouldn't "rest on this success," the ads warned. In the corner was a tear-out order form, directing the public to sign up for John Birch Society mailings. . . ."

We have covered the "painting of Oswald Red" in numerous programs, including FTR #'s 925 and 926.
