TEXT FROM THE TAPE: He is the world’s most influential and admired writer, a man whose imaginative genius still moves us, nearly four centuries after his death. William Shakespeare’s tumultuous life produced an unmatched legacy of drama and poetry. But the bard’s own story remains, for the most part, a mystery. In this remarkable program, BIOGRAPHY(tm) pieces together the clues of Shakespeare’s identity, from his comfortable youth in Stratford-on-Avon and his marriage to an older woman at eighteen to the night of carousing that led to his death at age fifty-two. Film excerpts, dramatic readings and location footage provide a glimpse into his little-known life and his astonishing twenty-year career as a playwright and actor. Join BIOGRAPHY(tm) for an in-depth look at William Shakespeare, the greatest writer the English language has ever known.

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

by Michael A. Singer (Goodreads Author) 

What would it be like to free yourself from limitations and soar beyond your boundaries? What can you do each day to discover inner peace and serenity? The Untethered Soul—now a #1 New York Times bestseller—offers simple yet profound answers to these questions.

Whether this is your first exploration of inner space, or you’ve devoted your life to the inward journey, this book will transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you. You’ll discover what you can do to put an end to the habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, author and spiritual teacher Michael A. Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.

Copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) The Untethered Soul begins by walking you through your relationship with your thoughts and emotions, helping you uncover the source and fluctuations of your inner energy. It then delves into what you can do to free yourself from the habitual thoughts, emotions, and energy patterns that limit your consciousness. Finally, with perfect clarity, this book opens the door to a life lived in the freedom of your innermost being.

I am so excited to announce this film to you. The Seer was a great healer who healed thousands through the use of the Akashic Records, and taught Lars Muhl his healing techniques. Lars wrote the book, The Seer, and made this documentary of his learning and experiences to share with the world what he learned. He showed it on Easter Sunday and I was able to watch it 3 times. The film is very high frequency and it took me 3 days to integrate the powerful energies.

He doesn’t show it very often so be sure and watch it if you can. Below is the email I received to announce the showing with the timing and links to watch for 24 hours on the 21st and 22nd of August.

Free streaming of the film ‘The Seer’
I have once again chosen to give free access to my documentary film about my spiritual mentor the seer Calle Montségur.

The film will be available for 24 hours, so everyone will have a chance to see it worldwide.
The Seer’s message that joy is healing is more relevant than ever. The intention of watching the film at the same time is to create a common space for healing, presence and unity. Therefore, it will not be possible to watch the film at other times.
You can watch the trailer for the film in English here:

Enjoy.

Love,
Lars Muhl

Lars Muhl New showings of the film will be announced here: https://www.larsmuhl.dk/en/calendar ‘The Seer’ is a rare and beautiful documentary by Danish author Lars Muhl about his spiritual mentor Calle de Montségur, also known as the Seer. The Seer was not only capable of diagnosing and curing people across the globe using distance healing, he was also able to read ‘The Book of Life’, where the destiny of mankind is recorded. Lars Muhl became an apprentice to The Seer after he healed Lars, via the telephone, from a debilitating long-term illness that no doctor could diagnose. The film is based on unique footage of The Seer recorded by Lars when they first met in 1998, and covers the three years Lars was an apprentice to The Seer. This is an intimate first-hand account of The Seer in his element at the sacred mountain of Montsegur in southwestern France. The film is an opportunity to journey with Lars through his initiations by one of the most important healers of our time. The Seer shares several messages vital to understanding the current state of the world and changing the status quo.

Organizations are helping keep LGBTQ+ youth out of at-risk situations

Just as more and more people are getting used to the idea of a relatively new pronoun that is neither “he” nor “she” — the singular “they/them” used by many folks, including Demi Lovato, Indya Moore and Sam Smith, who identify as gender-nonbinary — there is now a newer, somewhat surprising pronoun rising in popularity among some LGBTQ youth: “it/its.”

“I feel neither feminine nor masculine. For me personally I just feel more comfortable with ‘it/its’ than ‘he/him’ or ‘she/her,’” Voxie, an Instagram user, tells Yahoo Life via DM. “When people use ‘she’ or ‘he,’ I feel some sort of disgust/anger because it’s not fitting. When people use ‘it/its,’ I feel some sort of happiness and comfort.”

Rouke tells Yahoo Life via Twitter DM: “‘It/its’ just are the pronouns that instinctually give me the most gender euphoria,” referring to an elated, opposite-of-dysphoria feeling. “When someone uses that to refer to me, I get so happy and excited.” 

One in 4 (26 percent) LGBTQ youth identify as nonbinary, according to recent findings from the Trevor Project, which provides national crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth. And an additional 20 percent are questioning whether or not they are nonbinary.

That calls for a lot of nonbinary pronouns. And while 33 percent use “they/them,” according to the research, some stuck to “he/him” or “she/her,” whereas others used combinations (“she/they”) and some used other words entirely.

“We have noticed the use of ‘it/its’ pronouns among LGBTQ youth in our research, although this potential trend is still relatively small,” Trevor Project research scientist Jonah DeChants tells Yahoo Life.

“In our 2020 national survey of over 40,000 LGBTQ youth, only 50 reported using ‘it/its’ pronouns. That number increased to over 150 youth in our 2021 national survey — making it the second most commonly used set of neopronouns after ‘xe/xem,’” he notes, referring to words created to serve as genderless pronouns. “However, only 5 percent of nonbinary youth reported exclusively using pronouns other than ‘he,’ ‘she’ or ‘they.’”

In a recent New York Times explainer of neopronouns that ignited plenty of feelings, writer Ezra Marcus noted that the phenomenon, including the use of “it,” is far from brand new. “In his book ‘What’s Your Pronoun?’ Dennis Baron, an English professor at the University of Illinois, describes a series of attempts to create a nonbinary pronoun,” Marcus writes. “(In 1808, the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge suggested ‘it,’ which flopped; it is now beginning to have a small moment in the sun.)”

But isn’t “it” insulting?

The use of “it/its” does not come without some wincing, as many consider it a verboten term because of how the pronoun has been used historically as a way to denigrate transgender people. It still has a prominent place, for example, in GLAAD’s defamatory language guide— right alongside other off-limits terms such as “she-male” and “he/she.” As a GLAAD spokesperson tells Yahoo Life, “It is most commonly used as a pejorative and must be used carefully/only with the person’s consent.”

Discussions around this aspect of “it/its” are ongoing on social media, with a recent TikTok user (Maeve.digital, below) responding to commenters who were too offended by the pronoun to ever use it. “It’s ironic,” it says, “because basically what you’re saying is ‘I want to respect you, therefore I’m not going to use the pronouns that you just told me to use.’ And as someone who uses it/its pronouns, if I tell you that my pronouns are it/its and then you tell me no I’m not going to use that, then that doesn’t feel very validating.”

In another TikTok responding to a similar comment, this time from a transgender person, Maeve.digital notes, “As an actual transperson myself who has also been called ‘it,’ I understand where you’re coming from. And I also use it/its as pronouns, so no need to invalidate me by saying that they’re transphobic, because those are my pronouns… And I have chosen to reclaim those pronouns and use them for myself in a very non-gendered way and then when people call me an ‘it’ they’re trying to invalidate me but they’re actually using my correct pronouns.” 

Reclaiming the term from its defamatory history is also an important factor for others who embrace the pronoun.

“One young person specifically reported that they are only comfortable using it/its pronouns among other transgender and nonbinary youth, as a way to reclaim an otherwise dehumanizing insult,” DeChants reports of the Trevor Project findings, noting the start of a trend that’s similar to the way other LGBTQ terms including “queer,” “dyke” and “fag” have been powerfully reclaimed by many.

It certainly plays a part in Rouke’s choosing the pronoun — as does being autistic, it explains — because choosing the pronoun is the “reclaiming of dehumanization and ‘otherness’ through the positive use of pronouns typically used in a derogatory manner by others. It’s very similar to how I feel about using ‘queer’ as my identity.”

Others on TikTok address the rising use of “it/its” by demonstrating how to use the pronoun set in a sentence, such as: “It should be really proud of itself for trying on these new pronouns. I know I’m proud of it” and “It is such a great person.” 

Still others who use the pronoun are hyperconscious of its effect on others. “I know it/its is controversial because the terms are frequently used to dehumanize and degrade members of the community, and that’s unacceptable,” Twitter user Sailor Moon, who uses it/its pronouns (and who, at 34, is evidence that the trend spills into other generations, as well), tells Yahoo Life. 

“However,” Sailor Moon continues, “it is important to remember that all pronouns have been used to debase and belittle trans people, and it’s not the pronoun itself that is degrading, but the way it is being used and the intent behind it. I don’t find ‘it’ to be dehumanizing or degrading, but rather an honest expression of who I am. We use ‘it’ to refer to the stars in the sky, to songs that make us weep, to our hearts. ‘It’ can be beautiful, and ‘it’ is who I am: a person, complete and whole, without gender.”

It recently tweeted about the topic:

The comment was part of a long and thoughtful thread on it/its, started by a user, who goes by Lemon, arguing against the idea of “it” being diminutive or insulting, noting, “Little things are ‘it.’ Inferior things are ‘it.’ A rock is it. A pencil is it. They rarely consider that ‘it’ may refer to a mountain or music or the sun or love.”

Perhaps the most important aspects to understand about “it/its,” explains the GLAAD spokesperson, is to follow the nonbinary person’s lead. “Research shows how respecting pronouns and names helps save children’s lives,” she says. “New pronouns are constantly emerging, and some may reclaim power from those who use them to mock or demean LGBTQ youth — but they should only be used at the suggestion of the person and not applied to anyone you don’t know personally.”
