Waching daily Oct 4 2017

Hello this is Cheo with a special announcement and report.

Today we have Jenna Hagengruber with us.

She has an impressive background as student leader.

Jenna, tell us a little bit about your experience at the University of New Mexico.

Yea, so I was ASUNM president in 2015-2016 and then when I finished with my time as a

student leader which included Residence Life and Greek Life and Student Government, I actually

moved to Bosnia for a year and I taught English there and I just got back a couple months

ago and now I'm working for LoboRESPECT which is the student advocacy center on campus,

and it's a really great great time.

Welcome back, Jenna.

Thank you.

Jenna, tell us the purpose of today's visit.

You have an announcement to make, so tell us about that and why it's important to

celebrate this event this month.

Yea, so October—amongst a various amount of different things that are celebrated—is also Domestic

Violence Awareness Month.

The importance of that is that in New Mexico specifically we have very high statistics

for domestic violence and partner abuse.

So, as a student who is working for domestic violence awareness at LoboRESPECT Advocacy

Center, I'm here to talk about all of the different events that we have, the partners

that we have this month, and what we want the students, faculty, staff to come and support.

Ok, you have a number of partners and that is exciting, and you have a number of activities

this month—what are some of those activities and who are the partners?

Yea, so to start off the whole month we have a donation drive.

The Women's Resource Center is actually hosting that.

It's a toiletry drive, so bring in any shampoo, conditioner, basically any other toiletries,

my mind just blanked for a second there.

Anything that we can give to the women's shelters because a lot of times women and

children, also men have to leave in a moment's notice and they go to these shelters and they

can't take anything to keep them clean, so we are trying to provide that to these

shelters.

So that's the Women's Resource Center that we're partnering with on that,

we are also partnering up with them on a panel—a domestic violence awareness panel that will

be Monday, October 9th and we are going to have different community partners come in

for that to be able to speak about where to go, what to if this happens to you, what to

do if this happens to a friend.

We're partnering with Residence Life, really excited about that.

Doing a program called Apples for Awareness, so we're going to have caramel apples and

different toppings and each topping is going to represent a different statistic for domestic

violence awareness, so that will happen October 10th.

We're partnering with Athletics, they've been really great and we are gong to have

various events with them, different games, football, basketball, hopefully baseball in

the spring, where we will have domestic violence awareness games, and we'll be there speaking

out about the statistics, and the Athletics Department has been really great with us.

So we have a lot of different partners.

Greek Life is also wanting to help, but they're going to help with the basket making.

So after we collect all of the donations we're going to have a basket making party with ASUNM

and Greek Life and make these baskets filled with the donations that we get throughout

the whole and then take them to the Valencia Women's Shelter.

So, it's a really jam packed month—I could go on and on, but I won't.

Well, Jenna, thank you for inviting all these partners, and for the many activities because

we want to eliminate domestic violence completely and there will be a link to this Chit Chat

of the calendar of events, and I'm sure that you'll be disseminating that calendar

through other means.

Yes, hopefully tomorrow when we release this we will also release the calendar, so please

check it out.

We have tons of different events that are on there.

Our quote or saying for the month is stop the silence, end the violence, so we're

really going to be pushing that the whole month, and please come check out any of

the events that we have.

I like that, stop the violence and the silence.

Stop the silence, end the violence.

Wonderful.

Well thank you so much for being with us and for everything that you're doing, and welcome

back to UNM.

Thank you.

And thank you for having me this morning.

My pleasure.

Morning Conversations with Jim Self and Roxane Burnett-What is Truth? - Duration: 13:38.

I have something for you. What? Oh how sweet. I love you with a little heart. Yes.

But is that true? What do you mean is it true? Of course it's true.

Do you want something? Do you want like more sex or something? More sex! Three times a

day? Now that part's not true. What do you... What do you- what do you mean?

You know it's true. Is this true? Hmm. You mean you don't know whether something's

true or not? Well what do you want? What if I don't want anything? What if it's

just a message, what if that's just true. I love you. Hmm. Hmm. What's true?

So what's true? Hmm. So what's true? So good morning! Nice to be here.

So what's true? Interesting even when we wind up having a doubt or challenging or

uncertainty about somebody saying I love you - I'm not sure. What does that mean? Is

there a hidden agenda, a hidden message in things. And what's true for

you versus what's true for me. Sure. So if I say do you like the color green?

Sure. Well, what color green. Oh, see now it gets complicated, it

gets both simple and complicated. Do you like green? As soon as I clarify it:

you know green as in trees? Well, there's an oak tree and there's a maple tree and

there's an olive tree and they're all different shades of green. Of course. So

now it just got more complicated in terms of answering the question in

what's true. So one of the reasons I want to kind of play with this is this whole

issue of what's true and the complications and complexities of what's

true is actually what's starting to very much come to the surface and all over

the world things that have been just taken for granted or assumed

or allowed or tolerated, accepted as truth in real terms when you get below

the question- Do you like green ? -of course I like green. Everybody likes green. Well

does everybody like the same color green does everybody like this aspect of green.

Some people would basically say: Oh, I like redwood trees. Well we just changed

the topic from green to trees and it was a very subtle shift and pretty soon

we're talking about the different kinds of trees and the question of green falls

off the discussion. One of the things that is beginning to be very much in

your face is: What is truth? The issue is-what is true for you? Let's take

another subject that's really big in terms of though this is just a subject

not of politics. Do you like the flag? Of course! Everybody likes

the flag. Okay but as soon as you take it into the next question: What does the

flag mean for you? Oh all sudden the simplicity and the

complexity starts to take on that change. And what the flag means for say an

immigrant who's just moved here could be freedom and opportunity, but what the

flag means for someone who's living in a ghetto is restriction.

Let's just take that into the reality of the current situation. Here you've

got a very capable young man playing quarterback in college, goes into the

pros and basically is asked to stand up in American tradition. In this

circumstance it's a tradition. Now this applies to all countries all over the

world and in this case he makes a decision that what that national anthem

is and what that flag is, is not about me. It's about freedom, but it's not about my

freedom, it's not about people of color's freedom.

Now you have one individual basically saying I am not in agreement

with the group agreement. Now this is really important because the world is in

the process of changing significantly and this is just the condition of the

change that's coming about. We're not talking about the politics we're talking

about the condition of group agreements, and so you're seeing one person

basically in what had to be a very disruptive internal decision-making

process, make a decision in front of 80,000 people in what is the accepted

group agreement, you stand for this pledge allegiance to the flag, and he

didn't. You get this tremendous, you know, news issue and turmoil and

rights and wrongs and good and bad, third dimension, and that's really what

this is all about. The third dimension is going away, the right and wrong, the

dualities is going way so if you find yourself in the truth versus not truth

argument, you're in third dimension. In this case you've got circumstances that

are showing up all over the world. You get this one situation here in the

United States and all of a sudden it begins to be a whole lot of people

coming conscious to something that was generally both accepted but unconscious.

I don't believe in this but I stand up and salute the flags, many would say. Now

you get a whole bunch of others of all races starting to say, wait that doesn't

represent freedom for all which is the anthem itself. Catalina in

Spain, you get people, a whole massive group of people, saying what my anthem,

what my flag, what my country stands for is not what I stand for. You get it in

elections in Germany right now where the group of people that have a very

specific, in this case right-wing philosophy, all sudden coming

back into the fold, being elected into government bodies. You're watching

this conditional group agreement about what is truth and we don't really don't

talk about that -- it's the old, you know, we don't talk about sex, politics and

religion at the dinner table. We're now talking about these things at the dinner

table. Does that make sense? Yeah. So

this issue of what is truth is something that each of us are going to be

confronted with whether you like this or not. Let me go back again and say

this is about duality versus stepping into a higher vibrational field. This

conversation is really about you as a spiritual being in a physical form, a

physical body, basically watching an accepted conditionality condition, third

dimension, everything is conditional, nothing in the third dimension is

unconditional. That's a higher state of being, unconditional. But you're being

forced whether you choose it, or being dragged into it, you're being forced into

making decisions about what's true. The status quo is being

significantly disrupted and so this whole process of how do I wish to live

my life, how do I engage with other people, how do I do things? Choose. How do

I choose? Yeah. This is an issue that is not going away. In fact, I want to

talk a lot more about this. We're going to do a live Facebook. I'm going to

probably talk for half hour, 45 minutes about this whole structure of truth and

beliefs but if you stay in this third dimension--

he's right she's wrong-- circumstance, you're in third dimension.

Yeah. What's happening is all that's being pushed to the surface for a reason,

to get it out, to basically begin to move into something that is more stable, an

unconditional love, an unconditional relationship. I don't have to agree with

you. I don't have a hidden agenda. I can just simply say, oh

I love you. I don't need anything else necessarily. That might come as an

addition. Oh yeah, you want to give more sex? Sure that's okay. I'm all for it! But

that doesn't have anything necessarily to do with the I love you, or the

expression, or the truth. This place where people of difference to you whether it's

color or ethnicity or race or religion or just simply beliefs, I believe this

and you believe that, doesn't mean that everything else in the relationship has

to be sacrificed because we don't agree right here and the piece that we'll talk

a lot about all through this month in terms of probably a couple free live

broadcasts, is the emotion that gets drawn to the unconscious thought about, well, how

dare that black young man not stand up for the for the flag? He

must therefore... No! That's not true at all. It's an interesting thing. I

watch Donald Trump make a comment, for example, and you watch the

exact words on CNN and you watch the exact words

on Fox News. You have two different, complete universes. A different truth! Two

different truths, and the reality is, if you listen to them without the judgment,

they're both correct. Yeah. But this belief system, and this belief system are

not at a place where they can continue. It's a clash, and so one and one is three.

This is where the: I can allow you your opinion, your beliefs-- and, how do we take

this to the higher road of well-being, respect, dignity, appreciation?

This topic is not going away. This is something that in the next five, 10, 15

years, everybody is going to be confronted with this set of truths and

some of them are as simple as challenging a spouse who says I love you,

and what do you want? When really the communication was a simple

straightforward communication of expression of appreciation. It's an

interesting place that we're going to begin to play. So. What do you think? I

think I love you too. That works. We're going to continue this, we're gonna take

it in a couple different formats. But Friday we'll do a live Facebook and

we'll start to talk about this in much deeper terms, much more, how do you

transition from this third dimensional state of being? And hold your truth

throughout it. Well, identify your truth, your your own dignity, your own respect and

step into a higher fifth dimensional world where you can be aligned with, and

basically when you allow the other, and the other allows you, all sudden that

rigid truth begins to have more flexibility, fluidity, mobility and it

begins to be a higher truth. And so this is what's unfolding and I kind of want

to have this conversation to all who are listening because you're the spiritual

beings that are on the leading edge of this, you're the ones who, one,

understand this, begin to live this. The vibrational frequency of this balance is

going to begin to move into the ethers for others to see. Yeah, very good. So

we'll continue this as we go forward. Have a nice morning.

you

Is there anything wrong with competition? | TO WHOM IS GIVEN - Duration: 5:32.

KATHERINE: I've struggled with the idea of competition.

As a businessperson, as a woman, I didn't grow up, you know, beating the opposite team

on soccer, but then that was before those days.

But I struggled with how competition can be ugly and horrible, but also recognized that

competition breeds innovation.

When I see you satisfied, taking away my customer, I have to look at what I'm not delivering

that makes me get my operation running better.

And so, I throw it on the table just as a...with trepidation because it's burned as well as

it's been a wonderful, wonderful incentive to innovate more thoroughly.

CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, I think that if you seek the opposite of competition as cooperation,

then it creates a greater dilemma.

But I see the opposite of competition as suppression.

KATHERINE: That's right.

It's aggression.

CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, it's a different type of aggression, and that, you know, what Alexis

de Tocqueville would call this soft tyranny, right?

Where you are either forced or encouraged to not be innovative, that you don't have

a voice and saying, "This can be done better", you know.

And so I think there's a lot of examples where if it were not for competition, we would be

sitting in a much less joyful, pleasant, thrilling world than what we're living in right now.

Now the fall is no ethic, right?

So it touches everything, the way around that so we have to redeem these concepts of competition.

But this is the rub for the church.

I will say as a pastor, these types of terms and concepts are very difficult.

I mean, even using terminology like success and profit.

I mean, when was the last time you [inaudible 00:02:08] on competition for the good?

You know, so we need to somehow redeem these concepts or they will be detrimental and destructive.

But I do see the opposite of competition as being suppression and aggression in a negative

way.

DAVID: You know, Peter Kreeft at the Boston College, he says that competition in its worst

form is actually a version of envy.

And envy says, we want the others to lose while we win, instead of good competition

saying, we wanna challenge each other.

I think that's exactly what you're getting at.

CHRISTOPHER: Yes, yes, yes.

DAVID: Well, and that is the fundamental difference, right?

Between whether or not you view an economy as a fixed pie or as what the bible actually

describes it to be, which is a created order that is filled with infinite potential.

You know, I was reading recently Paul Graham who was the founder of Y Combinator, arguably

the most successful accelerator in the world in Silicon Valley, was saying that he thinks

one of the number one determinants of whether a startup will fail is how much they're focused

on the competition.

He says that actually that's totally the wrong thing to focus on, because you're in the constantly

worried, "What are they gonna do, and how will we respond to it?

And will they take the people that we have?"

Instead of saying, "I'm gonna innovate with what's in front of me."

And seeing that as really this abundance, having this abundance mentality, right?

And that there's so much of the world that has gone untouched.

I think as believers, even more so with, we're going out to renew the culture, the challenges

are not those who are also trying to renew.

The challenges are with these larger spiritual forces that we're facing, I think.

CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, well I think that Christian business, what makes Christian business unique

is it's done to the glory of God, meaning that we are serving [inaudible 00:03:57] to

the Lord but we have a different ethical framework.

And I think this is what changes competition from being from the bad to the good, because

if we are going to the competition and into competitive situations with no sense of an

ethical framework, right, like anything goes, then we will begin to use slander and harm

and malicious activity to be able to win.

DAVID: Oh, like Martin Shkreli, you know, who takes a lifesaving drug, buys the company

and then jacks up the price to a thousand percent.

CHRISTOPHER: Yes, yeah, but as a Christian, we're thinking about providing alternatives

that are better than what the marketplace currently can provide so that the person can

experience to get more of the good life in their everyday existence.

DAVID: I think, just to riff on that a little bit, one of the most interesting decisions

to me in the history of transportation is Volvo's decision to open-source the seat belt.

They invented it and they could've held on to it.

But they said, "You know what, this is too good for the world for it to be our product."

And on the back of that, they built an incredibly, you know, incredibly important and successful

car company, but they didn't say we have to capture all the value, it's all ours.

They said, "This is something for the common good."

I think that's a posture hopefully we can have as Christians.

Make Consent A Conversation: What is Consent Anyway? - Duration: 1:26.

So what is consent anyway?

Oberlin's consent policy is about communicating early and often.

You can use check-in language that's comfortable and realistic for you.

Consent is ideally verbal affirmative, and active, not passive or reluctant.

it might look like...

"I had a lot of fun tonight.

Can I kiss you?"

"Sure!

I had a lot of fun, too."

"Can I take off your shirt?"

"Yeah, do you want to have sex?"

"Yeah!

Do you have protection?"

"Yep, I'll go get it."

Non-verbal consent is possible. Establishing that practice is best done in an earlier conversation between you and your partner.

The best consent practice is often a back-and-forth of asking and affirming, not just one person initiating all the time.

Remember...consent must be requested and granted every time you are with a partner.

the conversation might look like...

"I had a lot of fun tonight."

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun, too."

"Can I kiss you?"

"Actually, do you want to get food or something instead?"

"Yeah, that would be great."

"I'm down to order pizza."

Let's Make Consent A Conversation!
