Dark Night of the Soul - Contemplate This - Dr. Michelle Medrano - Episode 14 - [ CSL ] - Duration: 5:39.
Hi. This is Michelle Medrano welcome to another episode of Contemplate This
where we contemplate your spiritual questions. Today I want to address a
question that came in from someone who watched our previous episode on 'Why do
bad things happen to good people?' So thank you for your comments and
questions. We do read them and today I want to respond to that. If you want to
go back and watch that episode you certainly can. And today she asked a
question about the 'dark night of the soul'
and how do we view that in our teaching. And that's a wonderful, wonderful
question because every being goes through times of what we might call
darkness, pain, suffering, conditions not going our way. Even heavy emotions, heavy
times of sadness or grief or disappointment or depression. And so in
our teaching sometimes, because we're such a positive teaching along the lines
of positive psychology and so upbeat, and always looking to create thoughts
that are good... Those of us who've experienced those dark times can can
tend to feel a little bit embarrassed ashamed or even left out of a teaching
like this because we think and we assume that 'Everyone else at church today or
everyone else who's watching these episodes is happy-go-lucky and I'm
suffering...' and so we feel we feel that we don't belong. We feel a sense of
disconnect, but what I want to say in today's episode is that I know every
single human being I have ever encountered has gone through dark times,
sad times, deeply disappointing times.... And so I want to state clearly that everyone
goes through these and it's never that you go through something like that, that
makes you an inferior human being or a bad metaphysician or a horrible Science
of Mind'er. It's really acknowledging that we do have these times when we we
struggle to feel our happiness or our compassion or our joy.
And what do we do with that? That's really the important question. How do we
deal with that? And not to deal with it so that we can solve it and and get back
to being happy, even though that I believe is our truest state. So the thing
that I think is really important is that we recognize that these dark, emotional
times, the dark nights of the soul that philosophers have talked, about are
deeply introspective opportunities. And I know, for me personally, I will say I have
gone through deep periods of melancholy. I've had sad things happen to me in my
life I've struggled with anger and resentment and unforgiveness, and
they've consumed my days and I've had times when it's been everything I could
do to show up and and appear to be functional in my workplace, or even in my
ministry because I'm going through a challenge. And what I found is that
that's normal it's normal to feel these feelings. And what we can do with them is
to use them to to move forward to say that this is a part of the terrain of
the wholeness of me that the wholeness of every human being is their joy, and
their triumph, and their sorrows, and their sadness, and that we can embrace
them as fully as we do all of the other emotions and choose to embrace them to
hear what they have to tell us; to be fully present in them to grow through
them to become closer to spirit. So I find, for me, that times like that really
are helped by journaling; writing out everything I'm feeling in a book that I
can read or that I can feel that I'm expressing. Talking to someone. Having a
good friend or confident that you can confidant that you can really say what
you need to say. Or a therapist or a practitioner prayer partner; being able
to find a support group where other people are going through some of the
things that we're going through so that we can see that we're not alone.
And all of this is about processing and being with it so that we can continue to
evolve because these times are very important to our evolutionary journey
and they can't be discounted they can't be depressed. In fact,
depressing them and putting them down, I think, is a huge cause of continuing to
experience more depression because we're pushing pushing them down. So they're an
important part of our soul's journey. If you're in a dark night of the soul, if
you're going through sadness right now please know that we're here at Mile High
Church to help and support you. We've got lots of support in our Prayer and Care
Center for grief, for divorce, for emotional challenges... We've got people
and programs and processes here to support and embrace you in any state
you're in. Thank you so much for that great question and I hope that today for
all of you continues to be a day of great blessings, and again, keep those
questions and comments coming. Thanks so much for tuning in.

The DARK Art of the Weavile! | Pokemon Theory | Gnoggin - Duration: 10:27.
The weavile, devious evil mastermind or adorable sidekick to children everywhere.
This is the evolution of sneasel, an already onry trickster known for using complex plans
to steal eggs.
Sneasels are already wicked smart, and upon evolving they get even smarter! and one bit
of information seems to allude to their terrifying intelligence.
The ability to write.
That's "Right" you heard it right here! they are able to carve symbols or other indicators
as a way of communication, like that of early humans.
So whats going on here?
And what does this all mean?
Lets find out today on Gnoggin.
We may be seeing a new evolution of intelligent pokemon.
There are many pokemon that are able to speak and talk to humans Its not all that special
of a trait.
From telepathy to just plain speaking, it isn't all that rare to find a pokemon able
to communicate with humans.
Especially in the anime there are ton of odd pokemon that are able to talk.
Even a snover is able to talk at once point.
But Pokemon that can write and not only mimic human characters but have their own entire
written language?
That's a whole new level of depth.
We can see in a short amount of time: this pokemon has been evolving at an alarming rate.
Where once it would fight over food, they now no longer quarrel amongst themselves.
The most interesting thing would be its ability to scratch markings into ice, tree, boulders,
to communicate with other weevils.
No other animal in our world can communicate with a set of written symbols.
Now i know a few of your are immediately scrolling down to the comments sections to state that
ACHUTALLY Bears mark trees and many other animals communicate by leaving pheromones
and other marks.
Well ha those things aren't really written language!
See how i worded that.
Its true many animals communicate as you've so dutifully pointed out.
But that communication is not a known thing its innate, they aren't individual symbols
or characters.
Bears dont go to trees and read the marks, they know from the scent in on the tree that
another bear is in the area and this is their turf.
They are not reading internet posts or the weekly news on the tree.
Weavile though, are able to use written symbols as a way of communicating hunting plans, or
as warnings for the other weavile, perhaps that this is a beartic cave, dont bother the
beartic.
And this language is unique to them, Other pokemon are unable to infer the meaning.
So in order to know how to read and write, they must be VERY intelligent, which isnt
uncommon for Pokemon.
There are other pokemon that have immense intelligence but non that have their own written
communication system.
Though im sure alakazam with its 900!!!! IQ could be taught how to read and write.
Also, apparently all pokemon may have the same or similar spoken languages as meowth
is able to translate every type of pokemon and many just talk to each other.
Just a fun fact
But Is it even possible for an animal to have language?, do any animals have a language?
It's quite a difficult question, so we should first define a difference between communication
and language.
Communication, by definition, is the transmission of a signal between the sender and receiver.
This signal could be language, but it could also be smells, movements, or postures.
Defining language now... is much harder, in fact it's still in debate to this day.
The general consensus is: That language is "a structured form of communication",
that means its contains grammer and can be combined in an infinite ways to form different
meanings.
An example would be a weavile having a symbol for predator or safe, but unless they are
able to put them in a way that says "No predator, It is safe here."
It's not a written language.
Now, animals do have some level of language, in fact some believe that animals may have
a more developed and more complex language system than humans.
Take a gander at prairie dogs, who can convey sentences in single chirps that range all
across the audible range.
It's been observed that quite a few animals have their own vocal languages.
Chimps, grey parrots, mustached bats and sea lions all seem to have some form of basic
language.
Though it is still somewhat debated as to weather or not these actually count as language.
Even when it comes to say, the dance of the honey bee, as compared to our own sign language,
many debate weather the bees dance counts as a language.
It's a very interesting debate for sure.
But one thing's for sure: None of these animals have been observed writing down their words
into some sort of text.
Unfortunately mustached bats don't seem to keep diaries.
But back to weaviles, The scary thing is that they can use these communication symbols for
hunting.
Something that changes as time goes on as their hunting missions are underway.
so their "symbols" would need to be easy and quick to write and to understand.
Which means that meanings of simple scratches would need to be altered based on the other
scratches and things around them, and how they are placed.
Meaning at least some simple level of grammar and syntax is within their language…
Which means these weaviles have a language that is possibly more advanced that that of
early humans.
Let's take a look at human history for a second to see where they may be on the long road
of evolution and advancement.
Wayyyyy back im talking before your parents… like… woah.
Thats forever ago.
Back in the day, humans used to use rocks and other tokens as a form of communication.
This is the predecessor of language.
These tokens would be used in a system to record information.
Such as how much grain or meat someone has purchased.
Geez, think about marketing and accounting before numbers were invented….
The next big stepping stone would be markings or pictrography as a writing.
This is where most people believe writing really started.
As its the act of recording something by creating an image, be it a drawing or a system of symbols.
From cave paintings to hieroglyphs.
After the marks and such, humans started to reduce the symbols into what are called logographs,
where humans put phonetix from their vocal language into their written language, imagine
a really rough, million character alphabet where elephat was a letter but it really just
ment big.
After a while, humans then started to create an alphabet, you know, something easier to
teach, they thought: hey why not make big mean big and elephant mean elephant.
And people loved the idea of things making sense.
some time goes on, some things change, some stuff happens, and we get to where we are
today.
And where are animals on this historic list of written language?.
Well they aren't.
They are all still pre writing, they are still just unga bungaing around, Trying to get the
newest rockstation 4 because the X-bone 1 has no rocks.
Weaviles seem to be somewhere around the second level of language evolution.
Its unknown if they even started with just tokens or they just jumped to stage 2.
This could be lost information as the pokemon world seems to be stuck in the 90s and information
seems to be making strides everywhere except the history department.
You know unless its about some stupid god pokemon.
But While weavile may not have a full fledged language its well on its way.
Who knows, if they ever release a pokemon set in the far future we may well see a few
books written in weavilise.
And Who knows! with its egyptian style headdress and eyeliner they may be the egyptians of
the pokemon world.
Making symbols and such with their scratches, drawing everything from a dude with a croc
head to a...whatever the heck this thing is.
Perhaps thats why weaviles have that vague egyptian look to them, as well as being ice
type.
As a means of symbolizing the first two methods of human written language, from cave drawings
common in the ice age, to the symbols and pictograms of the ancient egyptians.
And that's pretty dang awesome.
And you know what else
is awesome?

Dark Matter - Yonit and Eric - Duration: 12:52.
So let's start with dark matter, OK?
what is this elusive thing and why do you think it exist?
So, we are particle physicist and the basic type of questions that we are asking is what are we made of?
what are the universe comprise of, what are the basic fundamental building blocks
from which everything emerges
And we have a beautiful mathematical theory, that describes almost perfectly, almost everything absorbed in nature
and that called "The Standard Model" of particle physics
but we know that this beautiful theory, which is very elegant and that withstood almost 40 years of experimental scrutiny
can't be the final answer of nature, because it lives certain questions that are unanswered
and maybe one of the biggest of those questions is this issue of dark matter
What is Dark Matter?
Right, so, what is dark matter?
basically what we do is look up at the night sky and we notice that there a lot out there that we can't see
that there is more then we can see
and actually, almost all our entire universe is dark
it's made out of matter that we can't see
about 3/4 is something that we call dark energy, roughly a 1/4 of the total energy of the universe is dark matter
How do we notice? well we look up at the stars at the sky, the dust, and we count
we observe how much dust and stars there is
and from the stars and the dust we calculate the gravitational force is out there or exerted
and we see in some reason there is more gravity acting on the stars and the dust that we count for
So we know that it has to be something out there, exerting gravity that we can't see
and this stuff is called dark matter
and actually there is 5 times more of that dark matter than the stuff that we can see
and this is one of the biggest mysteries of the universe right now, what is this dark matter? what is the stuff that we can't see?
So just to sort of give you a picture of this, what it means is that if the mass of the dark matter is something like the mass of the proton
then there is roughly one dark matter of particle in a cup of coffee
It's here all around us but we can't see it
we know that it's there but it doesn't interact with light, so we can't see it, and we want to know what it is
so we have been trying to find, to detect this dark matter particles
but because they interact very very weakly it's really a tough job
and we've been trying to do this in 3 different ways i'll say
so one way is what we call colliders, we take particles that we know and love such as electrons and protons and we smash them on each other
and we hope to produce dark matter particles
that somehow we will be able to detect them on our detectors
so this is for instance what we do at the large hydron collider
in Cern
We search for them also on targets, seating deep underground in a lab
where we are taking some big pools, some tanks of something, not full of water but heavy nuclei
and we hope that dark matter will come and scatter off of that
and leave some imprints on our detector
and we also search via telescopes where we look up at the sky and we hope to see regular particles like photons or electrons or positrons
that could be the result of dark matter that decade or annihilated
So we've been searching in different ways but it's very tricky and we haven't yet been able to find these particles
So what is your proposal in dark matter research? how do you think we can find and detect this dark matter?
so ok
The story is basically the following -
for the last 40 years there is been one dark matter notion, one candidate of dark matter that is really been captivating the attention of theorists and experimentalists alike
and this particle is some dark matter particle that interacts very weakly with ordinary matter
and the mass of this dark matter particle is roughly a 100 times the mass of the proton
and this is a beautiful dark matter candidate, it naturally occurs in many theories of particle physics
and it's been very captivating both theorist and experimentalist
and because it's been the dominant idea for decades, it's so influenced and guided the way that we desgined experimental searches
So I'll say these 3 types of searches for dark matter we designed them specifically to look for the WIMP
So a lot of the type of research that we do, I think in general, the partical physics community is recognizing that thinking on one type of idea for so many years was great
and if you are going to choose one idea to think of for 40 years this was a great one to do
but maybe we needed to broaden the search and think a little bit about the bigger picture
because dark matter could be, there are roughly 80 orders of magnitude in terms of what it's mass could be
Dark matter could be many many many.... orders of magnitude higher or many orders of magnitude lower in mass then what is considered for the WIMP
our research has been focused on thinking about these new ideas for dark matter
that is not the WIMP
in particular there is a lot of activity on thinking of dark matter as substantially lighter then the WIMP
So for instance, you already can see why it's important to think about these things
because if dark matter is a thousand times lighter then the WIMP, so instead a 100 times the mass of the proton
if it's 1/10 of the mass of the proton, then these types of targets that we've designed, there are not sensitive to this
so dark matter could be there but we haven't seen it because our experiment that we've designed is not sensitive for this
so one such model that we proposed for dark matter is the SIMP
The particles interact strongly with itself
and if you calculate the mass of this dark matter, you find out that is indeed around 1000 times less then the mass of the WIMP
So this is a dark matter candidate, reasonable as much as the WIMP
that is not been search for, right?
This experiments can show us that the dark matter is something else like the SIMP and we just haven't designed an experiment to look for them
we also been, together with, as a particle physics phenomenologist we are interested... so we are theorist
but we work at close contact with experiment, so on the one hand we, on the context of dark matter we think on new theories for the particle identity
for instance this SIMP idea is one such example
it predicts that you have a dark matter particle the 1000 times lighter then what's been searched for so far
but on the same time we also want to think of new experimental techniques to search for this
and so for instance we also proposed, so if you think of this billiard ball picture
so if I'm looking for a WIMP - dark matter, it make sense that the dark matter would come and scatter this big heavy atom
no problem to give it a kick and we can detect that
but it the dark matter is a 1000 times lighter, such as the case of the SIMP and other new dark matter ideas that have been emerging in recent times
then the kinematics is more like this tiny little pinball is trying to get a kick to this big bowling ball, it's just not going to work
So you are actually in that case, when you have lighter dark matter, you want to scatter of something that is lighter, beacuse you can punch it around much more efficiently
and with this realization that maybe if you want to detect dark matter you should scatter of electrons
there are many new systems that have been proposed by theorists together with experimentalists
so you can think on looking to this things in superconductors, semiconductors, scintillators, electrons that ejects from graphene
these are all types of ideas that we've been working on in the community, new experimental proposals for how you can search for lighter dark matter
and the experimental community also picking up on these, and now it's been brought to research and develop stages
so that this experiments could actually be built to detect light dark matter if it's there
so it is a very exciting time, beacuse for the first time we are looking for a new type of dark matter
in the coming years we will be finally sensitive for looking on other dark type of dark matter, not just the WIMP
and it's very exciting, probably in the next 10 years or so we can make a discovery of dark matter
So we can't avoid the fact that you guys are married. How is it like to work together in the same field or at the same place?
are you working together all the time? Do you have different projects?
Well obviously it's great to work together, since we are doing it
Ammm..
So we work a lot together, also sometimes we don't work together, well we do things together but sometimes work separately
Do you manage your time together?
Well in general, the particle physics phenomenology is extremly collaborative field, so in any given point in time we have multiple projects
with multiple collaborators, all across the world and some of those projects we are collaborators and there are projects that we collaborate with other people
-And so ya.. -We found a good collaborator
And I think it's great because I can ask a silly question without being embarrassed
maybe you can tell us a little bit how you guys met, why did you decide to work here?
We first met, I think, just one building down from here, probably less a 100 meters from where we are sitting
maybe around 8 years ago? something like that
when we were both students
in graduate school
I was here for the school at the institute for advance studies
for a winter school and we met there
I guess we didn't speak for few years, but I came back to Israel to do a post doc
At Tel Aviv University I did a post doc in Israel because physics here is great, High Energy is very strong here.
So we always knew that we want to come back to Israel after we both did post doc in the US
As Eric said, science in Israel is really amazing, phsyics in Israel is amazing, high energy phsyics in Israel is amazing
and we love the University, there are amazing students, we just love everything about it, beautiful campus
So we are very happy to come - we are excited to come here together
We can build a group in high energy phenomenology, we have our philosophy of who should be in our group- he/she have to be fun and active
just fun, that what I mean, good physics and good spirits
In your opinion, how will physics be in 20 years from now?
what is your vision? and how do you fit in this vision?
I'll say I hope it's not something like what I expect. this is really the fun doing fundemental physics
we are asking new questions that we haven't think of, describe thinks that can't be imagan
So hopefully some of the open questions that we have today will be answered, and as Eric said
It's the most exciting if the answer is someway that we haven't even thought of
so nature can be more spectacular
So you hope dark matter exists or not?
Oh , of course, but we have no idea what it is
I think the driving force behind, you know, basic science in general, definitely to fundemental physics is just pure curiosity
and we just want to know what is it? what is out there?
what is everything made of?
what ever the answer is, we certently can't predict
We hope to be around when we find out some answers to some of these questions
and we hope it sparks new questions for the time after that
It will be exciting if it will be one of our theories, but it will be thrilling nonetheless if we know the nature of dark matter
Yonit, Eric, Thank you!
