The B&P Realm Bryan Winchell

This is quite the Mercury-in-the-final-degree of Pisces park bench rambler, folks, so good that, three hours after recording, I forgot all I said. I know it was about populism, the author Thomas Frank,questioning if it’s true that there’s nothing new under the sun, noticing echoes in history, and realizing that now that almost everyone has been labeled Right Wing, that soon we will be All Right and then, there will be nothing left! Wordplay, folks, hiding deeper truths. Enjoy!

This is an audio reading of my annual "What the year taught me to post" for 2023. Of the past four years of doing this post, 2023 was, by far, the most impactful on my life, because I went through a difficult legal challenge, spending 45 days in a local Japanese jail, and then lost my father a few months later. However, as you'll hear in this article, going through these experiences truly did prove to me the notion that "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Enjoy!

What a year! Two major events in my life---a legal kerfuffle that put me in a Japanese jail for 45 days in spring, and the death of my father in the summer---plus four months in the furthest reaches of Beelzebub's buttcrack---otherwise known as summer in the hottest part of Japan---well, this year certainly didn't play all that nice with me. The good news is it's over but, even better, the past month I've found my enthusiasm, my energy and my Spirit, and I think I have my Calling for my elder years, too. I (kinda) talk about it in this, the final of the Experimental days. Tomorrow the Daily Bryan Podcast Era officially begins!

Here are the three articles I reference in this episode. I worked super hard to get them all written, polished and published before the New Year's and hope you enjoy them:

1. "2023's Eight Lessons For Me"
2. "Bye, Bye Medium, A Retrospective (Part 3, 2021-2023/The End)
3. "The Astrology of the First Half of 2024 Is Electric"

Having just come out of a Zoom call with my community on the Netflix movie, “Leave Then World Behind,” I got inspired to read the beginning of the novel the film is based upon, and there was an uncanny and clear difference in the two. Can you spot it? Let me know!

The Five of Pentacles in the Tarot shows two beggars in the snow, walking with their heads down past a well l-lit church. The meaning is: Help is here, if you reach out for it, but you have to notice it first. This means we’ve got to trust each other. There’s plenty of evidence showing how people rally in times of trouble. It’s our Culture that convinces us we are not trustworthy. Why not break the chains of that Culture, and begin trusting again?

I drew the King of Wands today for my daily Tarot drawing where I ask “What should I focus on today?” So because the Wands is connected to Fire in the 4 Elements of Astrology and Fire is connected to Intuition (N) in the Meyers-Briggs (Personality) Type Indicator (MBTI) system, I decided to talk about intuition, and how, despite our cultural perspective of intuition being a “woman’s” (feminine) superpower, in these frameworks it is connected to the masculine. This episode is, in its own way, a follow-up to yesterday’s because the main teaching of it is, again, reinforcing the idea that we are all unique, and to be cautious of projecting our way of Being and Doing onto the “We” world, saying “We all are like (such and such” or “we all must do (such and such).” Your Way of Being and Doing may not be my Way and that’s a good thing!
