Episode 588: As we Mark the Christian Holliday how do You Justify Voting for Global Suffering?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:40:18 +0000

One of the key ways we look at how we take care of each other is in infant mortality rates … they are increasing in Cuba because of your vote. 72% of White Christians voting for this global suffering.

I ask you on Easter Sunday to justify this for yourselves. To sit in reflection of the state of the world because of what you voted for…

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 12:55:38 +0000

I found myself ranting that social media algorithms are not to blame.. humans lack of love of difference is yet again the root cause … parents must help their children to be secure enough to choose their own algorithms and Gen Z are driving huge change in their choices

Episode 579: The INFJ and the avoidant - the ultimate head f**k

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 08:38:27 +0000

INFJs can really lose themselves in relationships and turn everything on themselves. We have such extreme forgiveness and patience that it's shocking when we run out - when we need change and the patterns keep repeating.

It's too easy for us to turn all the experiences on ourselves and feel shame. Shame for sharing and being open as this requires such trust for us.

Episode 578: The Violet Writer - A new Unconditional Space

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 20:55:28 +0000

The Violet Writer
https://substack.com/@thevioletwriter

https://thevioletwriter.substack.com/p/displace-souls-and-surviving-beauty?r=73q1xq

By training, I am an observational scientist. I spend my life witnessing everyday human behaviour and trying to understand the hidden patterns. The invisible conditioning in plain view.

Not unlike the violet spectrum: completely invisible to many.

The part of the rainbow we simply assume to be there.

Consider with me the unwritten rules we might blindly follow. The efforts that feel like mere survival, but are perhaps more. The assumptions we've never questioned. Once seen, it can't be unseen.

My writing is about creating a peaceful, unconditional space for you. I hope you'll come by now and then.

Episode 576: The Rose Field is a victim of capitalisation somewhat ironically

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 15:34:31 +0000

The world is so disjointed for us now as creatives and ironically this book even though it wanted a massage of what is swallowed in progress and order is also a victim of the writer’s integrity … it’s not a teen book and it’s not accessible to the readers the earlier series it’s born from …. I shouldn’t have to re-read a book to get it …

There is no solidarity at the moment, ironically especially if you are white and speaking out.

Episode 558: Unconditional Love in a Collective context

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Words I read:

Unconditional love is a type of love that is given freely without any conditions or expectations in return. It is often associated with parental love, where the affection remains constant regardless of the recipient's actions or behavior.

Martin Luther King Jr. emphasized that unconditional love is a powerful force for change and healing, stating that it is essential for overcoming hate and injustice. He believed that love, rather than violence, is the ultimate answer to humanity's problems.

M. Scott Peck defines love as "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." He emphasizes that love is not merely a feeling but an active investment in the well-being of others.

Bell hooks discusses unconditional love, particularly drawing from Martin Luther King Jr.'s work, emphasizing that love is a transformative force that requires courage and commitment, especially in the face of domination and hatred. She argues that love is not just a feeling but an active choice and practice that involves nurturing spiritual growth and upholding values like justice, honesty, and respect

People are boycotting Coca-Cola due to concerns over its alleged involvement in unethical labor practices, environmental issues, and its operations in disputed regions, particularly in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, rumors about the company laying off Latino workers and reporting them to immigration officials have fueled calls for a boycott among Latino communities.

I can’t believe anyone in Ireland going around an Irish supermarket feels Coca Cola is the right sponsor for ‘the magic of Christmas’

We all have a role to play as the world exposes a cruelty in humanity that I believe we are re-writing in real time .. we have to witness the cruelty and play our part and what practices we have to stay in our own truth …

Jungs thoughts on sharing “Carl Jung believed that the constant need to share our experiences can distance us from our authentic selves and hinder true self-understanding. He suggested that inner silence and reflection are more valuable for personal growth than the urge to narrate our lives to others.”

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 09:19:10 +0000

I worry that leftist and socialist parties are so desperate to be just elected rather than speak to their core values that they are willing to speak to a far right propaganda just for votes. It’s no better than what the ‘other’ team are doing!

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 17:58:15 +0000

I go through a journey of Carl Jung, Myers/Briggs, David Keirsey temperament theory, Human Design Ra Uru Hu, Quantum Human Design developed by Dr Karen Parker….

Ultimately any of these systems could help us get to a better collective consciousness right now if we cared more about understanding the collective than making the individual successful.

We need to create secureness and trust to unravel the corrupt relationships that have been formed - often through blackmail …. We need accurate integral memories for peoples’ behaviours … we need journalists to show the web that has been formed and how it has been allowed to erode all the promises we made as a humanity after the 2nd world war… this will take time, focus and a clear sense of purpose ….

Episode 474: The disgusting messaging around migration in Ireland

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 13:00:00 +0000

*I recorded this before the 12th of July in Northern Ireland and those outside these lands may not know how separate a conversation bonfires with burning migrant boats are and the complexities of what they represent - what they most represent to me is that this is no time for a united Ireland or a Sinn Féin President. There is a lot of work to do to get their house in order to match the ideals of the European Equality mandate. To align with the values in the Republic of Ireland and all the work we have done. Though I have no doubt that these images will speak to the few who are being coerced into such views that I have spoken about in this podcast which makes it all the more important to share this podcast at this time.

Two high profile cases of our own failings are being used to drive a horrible a narrative here by a few people who feel abandoned in their own misery …. There has been such an imbalance in how white Ukrainians have been treated by comparison to other skin tones … and we should learn the positives in what happens when we make it possible for people to be fully legal and capable of starting a life here .. we have seen great integration with Ukrainians that should be available to everyone who has come to Ireland

Not to mention the Irish are the biggest migrants in the world

There is one part I forgot to include .. after the rising the British abducted huge numbers of prosperous Irish business men ( approx. 1800) from Dublin and brought them without trail to jails int he UK. They vanished and returned 4 months later after a horrendous voyage.. with malnutrition and scabies and no evidence that they had ever been part of the rising..

I didn’t learn this in school - I discovered it as part of the century exhibition at Collins Barracks.

I realise the part that is causing me extreme pain is that I am experiencing what the collective is doing - and it's a massive death - a much more painful journey than the one of simply not fitting in ... I guess it's harder for parts of yourself for die than it is to have never signed up ... I have done this journey for 3 months before a massive shift that has taken place in the collective ... I haven't found anywhere I have the desire to speak ... my wish list is to know someone to speak with who can reflect to me where I begin and end so I suffer less in these collective experiences .... I have yet to find anyone who actually takes impressions through their body ...

then we ask the question why are they fearful? Then I look at the trajectory of what we have been presenting in real time to them online - with all the lies that make every civics and social studies class a complete lie.

Episode 435: From the Top Down

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 08:18:19 +0000

Who do we hold accountable for the distress we have seen on the streets? For the waves of online bullying?

How do we decide who's children should die?

How do we expect there to be a moral sanity as 'normal' in these contradictions?

Episode 434: Returning to School with Learning Differences

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 14:30:18 +0000

No one needs to struggle either returning to school or beginning school ...

We need to change our perceptions of teaching 'normal'

Episode 433: What stands in the way of the 1st Black Woman President?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 08:15:43 +0000

What stands in the way of the 1st Black Woman President?

The only people you are hurting by not voting for a Black Woman now are those who believe in unity and hope. The Black people in your life, past and present, who have fought for this change.

Episode 432: How change is integrated

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000

What is change? How is it integrated? how long does it really take?

What happens when we just keep returning to the same river?

Episode 431: Moving on from Generational Pain

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 08:27:49 +0000

A podcast I put out on my subscription space at the beginning of July

How can we change the cycle where even those who have experienced such trauma are prepared to pass this on to 'others'?

I think by talking about the pain they inflict on those close ... not those who they have been trained to de-humanise

Episode 429: The Energy Lie of the Personal Development Industry

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000

I've been trying to find a system - find a visual for what I know inside .. to debunk the lies I see posted and sold in the world all around me - all that I can feel is just wrong - and I know doesn't fit for 20% of the population who gravitate to my door for support

I know I'm on the right track when once I start talking about what I know at a soul level and I start to jar with those I'm speaking with ... it's like yes here is another alien 101 moment!

Episode 422: When will we accept the difference of our children?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We will never have inclusive education if we can't accept differences - we need to stop feeling there is something wrong with our children. We need to feel empowered to support the gifts our children have, not the failings we are told they do. It's what I've spent 15 years supporting families to do globally.

Episode 423: Trans Changing Room Conversation

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever considered how ridiculously selfish and insecure you are? Like do you really think your body is so much better? or that any Trans person embarks on this journey so they can share a changing room with you and perve over your body?

It brings up deep questions of how you relate to men? How do you relate to gay women?

It's such a place of insecurity and unfortunately, success doesn't come with security.

Episode 421: How to re-mould politics

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 14:05:04 +0000

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

This is not about a bunch of white people saving face or ego - this is about the space for long difficult discussions that have not taken place since 1948

Episode 415: The costs of just choosing your own safety

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 13:17:44 +0000

We need to take our privilege of peace in Europe to create unity and sharing in these difficult days - only by valuing what we have can we create a role model for better justice, inclusion and choice in the places which haven't gained our freedom.

Episode 414: Abdicating Responsibility in Supporting your Child

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 24 May 2024 11:51:58 +0000

Abdicating responsibility in supportign your child - there is a whole industry queued up waiting to feed off your family.

In creating these courses I'm asking you to take reusability as a family to create the trajectory of support - for the most difficult conversations; suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, isolation, anxiety, school refusal, literacy and learning challenges.

I'm asking you to find the gifts here in the truth. I'm asking you to take ownership of your child's development.

This is as big as when I closed my physical school to work more impactfully with families - so they couldn't leave their problems at my door and go off to the supermarket.

School Refusal - Teens Trapped in Bedrooms - School Anxiety

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 09 May 2024 07:17:05 +0000

You don't get to be academic and not humanitarian - It's time for this narrative to change - the Israeli Universities need to stop sanctioning their academic staff who stand up for humanitarian rights - if they deserve to be included in international collaborations again.

Episode 411: Changing Literacy and Numeracy Learning Challenges

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 05 May 2024 06:52:04 +0000

Introducing - Changing Literacy and Numeracy Learning Challenges Program

This course is why I have been called a wizard - and it contains magic. The very practical approach I take is designed to get even the most reluctant learner involved.

I've developed the support my own parents couldn’t find for me. I always promised students that an hour with us was worth three in your bedroom. Now you get to recreate this for your child.

Online course to integrate Homeschooling into the Home

https://dr-naoise-oreilly.thinkific.com

If you are embarking on homeschooling for any age, any background any learning challenge - for a week, a month a year or life - this program is about creating holistic learning and life balance skills for life.

By the end of the program, you should feel as excited as me about the possibilities that homeschooling offers.

I read an extract of this book - not because I love it but I do agree with some statements! It's as if the author learns from mistakes we all make.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:42:47 +0000

Online Course for Trapped Teen - School Refusal - School Anxiety

https://dr-naoise-oreilly.thinkific.com

The term Teen goes way beyond an age limit - these people are still dependent on us. They are the outliers of the world with much to offer us - the greatest tragedy is they have worked out the system is broken and doesn't meet modern needs for our world - we've yet to catch up!

This program is about fostering their talents to engage with the world again and contribute all they have to offer us.

New Online Program to Support Families with Self-harm, Eating Disorders and Suicide Prevention

https://dr-naoise-oreilly.thinkific.com

I read an extract from this book not because I wove it - but because of the place the author gets to in realising that in order to get your best results working with people - you take a part of them through you and you are changed - and in that change is healing

Episode 407: Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 08:57:55 +0000

Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables

All of the skill universities are meant to be teaching students on full display on their front lawns and they call in politicians and law enforcement rather than celebrating their students.

It might be time to use your own critical thinking to decide what league tables are really based on? Student celebration, initiative, political change and welfare are not top priorities.

Episode 406: Kindness is not a disease

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 06:50:38 +0000

Kindness is not a disease - you just don't expect or know how to play the games of insecure unkind people

This book is based on the best fictional character I've ever read to bring together my own school experiences of bullying, isolation and the depths of where this can take you too. I was lucky I had the contrast of home to not go to the depths of self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

Episode 405: How comparison crushes us

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 09:19:17 +0000

How comparison crushes us

The most destructive habit that holds us back and that we can land ourselves in at any stage of our development.. no one is immune ... even me!

Episode 404: How we use smartphones determines our mental well-being

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 12:22:17 +0000

Forget blanket statements on technology being 'bad' for us ... it's how we use the tool for our well-being which determines our mental health. We can't assume that if you have a smartphone you have anxiety, depression and concentration challenges.

Use pick-up data, notifications settings, scheduled downtime and nighttime mode to change your habits.

Change your practices for good well-being, engagement and a learning tool - and then change your parents!

Episode 403: How to not isolate gifted bright students

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:44:24 +0000

I love it when I'm proven right ... even if i need to wait a decade for the research to prove my innate knowing on how best to create a secure society!

Episode 402: The St Patrick's Day circus

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 12:18:17 +0000

My Ireland - my home is not the same as an American's Irish.

An Authentic expression podcast I am drawn to make public

Episode 401: Dissecting the Happiness Index

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 11:39:29 +0000

Dissecting the Happiness Index - the qualities humans seem to need for happiness are pretty disturbing and unsustainable as a society.

Episode 400: Ditching Psychology Speak

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 11:24:04 +0000

Ditching Psychology Speak - what is narcissism? Why do we do so many books in school with narcissistic characters and not discuss this with you?

How to survive the games of narcissism that are entering our school "friendships"

The simple steps to not engage and get over the mistakes.

Episode 399: Think time to perform efficiently

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 13:19:49 +0000

Think time to perform efficiently

One of the ways we perform more effectively and efficiently is to press pause. To allow ourselves to passively think about what we desire to create - to do - to answer. To do tasks in our mind and body before we ever sit down to do them!

Hence we think best while we move, while we experience in a different way - not at a computer screen!

Episode 398: Picking a life instead of a career

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 08:39:48 +0000

All I wish career guidance considered while helping people to pick a career - it's time to change our focus from the hamster wheel to a lifestyle choice

Episode 397: the Truama of 'Posh' school

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 11:04:42 +0000

Reading this book reminded me of the hell of private - posh school ... what should have just been an opportunity - why wasn't it? and why does dedication need to be private for there to be opportunity?

Book this podcast is inspired by:

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 10:37:30 +0000

Episode 394: Being Special not just seen as Selfish

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 09:37:18 +0000

We need to be selfish at a certain stage of our life and it would be better if we felt special - felt we had something to add to the world around us - achieved for ourselves so we can fully present for good relationships beyond our teen years...

Episode 393: Moments of humanity in Gaza

My Original Text:

An incubation zone to support birthing ideas into the world which are not palatable in your main Patreon zone - as you need your Patreons to stay present or you don’t feel like suffering the projections fallout, or criticism such ideas bring out in others.

You hold back from expressing your ideas as others want to commercialise them.

You struggle to express your deep knowing.

Your ideas are your soul on the page. Your creativity is a rarely seen glimpse into your soul. You create to provide solutions to the challenges you see for humanity. Your creativity has a greater purpose than you. You don’t wish to be ‘seen’ for the changes you can make towards a better humanity. The exposure of yourself is not what drives you but working towards a better humanity. You provide the answers in your creative work. You are focused on your truth.

If you feel like this - this group is for you. You have never belonged in the world. You have seen so many conditions and games. What others conform to belong. You feel like your truth exposes an ugliness in others. The shadows, dark motivation, the unconscious of Jung’s work, or the demons. I wrote a whole book called bringing out the ugly!

Some Quotes which may speak to you;

“If we want a better world, we have to make it ourselves.”
Alice Walker, Taking The Arrow Out Of The Heart.

“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.”
Khalil Gibran

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth” Gautama Buddha.

“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don’t go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep!”
Rumi

“I'm not interested in how people move, but what moves them. “
Pina Bausch

“Everything must come from the heart, must be lived.”
Pina Bausch

“The things we discover for ourselves are the most important.”
Pina Bausch

“Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.”
Octavia E. Butler

“I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure. “
Octavia E. Butler

“I don't belong on earth, my soul is from the stars.
I'm visiting this planet for a while so i can help people listen to their hearts.”
Nikki rowe

Aim: We are only as good as our creative process. You feel physically better when you transmute your ideas into creative projects. But suffer projection for them and their impacts on others. You feel misunderstood, for your difference of view - framing - where you see the world from.

This group is about promoting creative well-being within this expression.

Finding your way to this group:

You may identify with some of these labels as you search for your belonging - INFJ, INTJ, ISFJ, Personality Disorder, Hypersensitive, Highly sensitive person, empath, Starseed, alien.

What others might call you; Visionary, pioneering, unique, dreamer, idealist, warrior, wizard, weird.

Can you imagine collaborating with truly like-minded beings that have got your sensitivities at a soul level supporting your truth to be in the world?

Open to all expressions of creativity, ages, backgrounds, and locations - there are no limits.

my bio
After receiving a first-class honours degree in Marine Science at NUI, Galway and completing a PhD in Physical Oceanography at Southampton University in the UK, Naoisé O'Reilly returned to Ireland and founded and directed an alternative school.
Through her quirky, open-ended and wholly unapologetic podcast, Purple Psychology, musings and raw non-fiction work that covers personal and cultural topics and frequently displays the dyslexic mind, Naoisé invites those who read her writings to enter a new world of possibility that begins by looking through a magical mirror that reflects hidden emotions, dreams and our ambiguously mysterious, yet eternally beautiful inner landscape.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:23:43 +0000

You can't "fix" people - or "save" them ... they have to do the work themselves - and as travel, through life, I'm not prepared to go backwards and suffer the physical symptoms I suffered in school being bullied and positioned into a certain box ... to feel the discomfort of being in the wrong room - or being the wrong person in the room - or the overall sensitive person - or whatever blame you want to put on me ... it took my a long journey through the other side of education to see that maybe I wasn't the problem - the system has a problem!

The course I truly feel might create a better humanity - one I want to sit in the same room with (and I don't care how much you project at me having an ego or being arrogant- it's my honest truth - I need the world to grow up and so does humanity if it was honest too)

Episode 355: Living in the Gap - the most insightful conversation on how I work

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Living in the Gap - the most insightful conversation on how I work

A very deep conversation with Oonagh Browne who constantly translates the gap to me. I think it's part of her life purpose here for me and others like me. An Edmund Hillary Fellow (EHF). A being I am so grateful for! A being who translates how I don't have the same in-body experience - how I'm plugged in but almost manifest experiences to be able to channel being human here - to see it through other people's human experience. The conditions they impose. I often manifest these situations to be able to get words onto the page. It's not always easy but then nothing worth creating ever is. ... having people value me for who I truly make it possible for me to continue. Makes the dreams of my inner and outer worlds possibly match someday...

Oonagh's website - https://www.thecacaoambassador.com

Also the longest podcast I have ever recorded! And I wanted a sign to put this out - it rained feathers outside my windows this morning- I have never seen anything like it .... there must be 30 feathers on the ground outside my door now.

News story from 1946 - https://www.instagram.com/p/CokwrI4vLHD/

Why this is not history - the same news story today - the same actions and reactions

Sergeant Isaac Woodard was left blind after police brutality because he wasn't submissive to racism towards him (which makes my point about the black face emoji!)

I find this emoji racist -

Episode 352: Conditioning I feel around St. Brigid's Day

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 13:49:39 +0000

I want us to integrate our inclusive ways ... those parts of ourselves we have been battling to represent... to have heard

To quote Mary Robison's inauguration Speach which was read out to me on the Hill of Uisneach yesterday

https://uisneach.ie

"The recent revival of an old concept of the Fifth Province expresses this emerging Ireland of tolerance and empathy. The old Irish term for province is coicead, meaning a “fifth”; and yet, as everyone knows, there are only four geographical provinces on this island. So where is the fifth? The Fifth Province is not anywhere here or there, north or south, east or west. It is a place within each one of us — that place that is open to the other, that swinging door which allows us to venture out and others to venture in. Ancient legends divided Ireland into four quarters and a “middle,” although they differed about the location of this middle or Fifth Province. While Tara was the political centre of Ireland, tradition has it that this Fifth Province acted as a second centre, a necessary balance. If I am a symbol of anything I would like to be a symbol of this reconciling and healing Fifth Province"

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:37:37 +0000

As promised a podcast with an off the cuff - wing it conversation on already dismantling egos in education.

Don't tell us what we can't do - we are already doing it!

A lot of sound advice to 15-year-olds there who've been told they can't do it!

I wish the audio was better - we are both maxed out and needed to do this via zoom which is never ideal and I feel it didn't do Graham's tone justice! Sorry!

I don't do plug podcats so when I say the support means a lot to me - I mean it - but the connections and the feedback are what matters to me as someone on the fringes of everywhere. I made a choice not to have an academic university 'home' to belong to.

For as little as €5 (a cup of coffee a month) you can have access to the writing journeys which are the advanced course of these podcasts. The journeys that help you find your own core. I've proven it over and over now the impacts of my writing. You can be whatever you dream. It becomes reality.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 07:47:17 +0000

Identity and labels are not simple for me - I can't just pick them to fit in .. this is why!

But this is not about me being right - it's about you making your own choices that are for the right motivations and your needs.

Why do we have such an obsession with status? Who decides what is adding to our position in society? Have they different monarchs decided this or did the court that surrounds them?

How can we change the patterns of humanity that we are moving towards? As we are obsessed with keeping middle class.

Episode 332: Sameness

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 09:26:01 +0000

The ridiculous pressures we put ourselves under to send children back to school. The pressures to not be different.

Episode 331: Lost the right to control

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 08:21:56 +0000

Kansas didn't gain abortion - they lost the right to control.

A very simple list of reasons we need abortion to be legal.

Episode 330: Abuse in the name of the Church

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 09:59:17 +0000

Episode 329: Black Elvis

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 00:16:56 +0000

**there was a mistake in one of the track links so I had to repost the episode (sorry)

I don't want to go back and edit this as the energy is there for what I want to talk about and I don't talk enough about the demon of white money ... and when I say Black people are doing well, thriving it's all relative and a totally uneven world. I'm aware of that but I want to keep the energy of the passion in what I do talk about and not overlook my mistakes or the assumptions you might think I make that I don't in fact - I just feel there is a greater richness in the world than white money.

Episode 328: Why do we go to school?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 09:39:36 +0000

There is a drumbeat building around a generation not being successful because they didn't go to school for the pandemic. This is filled with the same measuring, racist and sexist message we take for granted in education.

Episode 325: Impacts of not going in a Box

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 09:48:36 +0000

The rollercoaster I have been charting with the podcast because I'm not prepared to be anti-vax or anti-abortion or racist while speaking about humanity.

Episode 324: Roe V Wade - the silver lining - integration of conditions

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 10:17:58 +0000

The geek in me loves that a podcast on women's rights is 13 minutes- the 13 moons of our cycle! Perfection while talking about the balancing of conversations on abortion...

Episode 323: What I don't hear in the Transgender conversation

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 12:07:19 +0000

Sexualtiy and Gender are differnt conversations. The gaps that have facilitated 4 days of ignorance on national radio in Ireland

Episode 322: Not faciliating Hate might mean hating

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 12:05:34 +0000

The backdrop to this podcats: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/tds-to-grill-rte-bosses-after-dublin-pride-drops-media-partnership-over-anti-trans-discussions-on-liveline-41755471.html?fbclid=IwAR117gNLrEDX3Td1_D4kR9-fOX02jcaZVl_x_x27HGJ27kCnetBx8F8ufFs

I will not sit on the fence anytime soon - I will call out in hate the aspects that ironically facilitate Hate and your fear of it.

Episode 321: Rewarding YouTubers with no compassion

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:57:56 +0000

Why we need to have compassion for those who behave badly.

There is a tiny glip in the recording because someone texted me and the recording stopped briefly! But the rest was so much in flow I've just left it!

What is missing in the audio;
*Split Personalities or Borderline Personalities or what I call Duality (a positive outlook) - means that we don't have a strong sense of self - of who we are. We are afraid to stay as that person so we borrow roles and identities from those around us and try to become those people. In every way - become a character of a person. You can see the pedestal placement and displacement as a child would lead you to think - what do I need to be for you to reward me?

Episode 320: 319b - change meaning survival

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 09:50:57 +0000

Why we need to change to have transformation as a society

* I meant 319b obviously ... this is the problem with being on a context rollercoaster here and on my Patreon.

Episode 319: The Pendulum of Change

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 07:53:21 +0000

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 15:24:20 +0000

If you want to create something different - if you want the world to stop measuring - you need to be in the world differently and ironically I'm going to talk about the only part of a book I don't agree with .. participation... It's ok to not belong in the room.

Two books I want to recommend you read

One I have shared in the past:

Belonging: From Fear to Freedom on the Path to True Community

This proves Louise Hays thinking that Thyroid conditions are due to suppression of expression. Why I focus so much on giving people a way to express themselves.

Wow, this has been the most difficult podcast to record for quite some time ... I don't know what I have said that is so difficult but someone doesn't want it said out loud!

Episode 303: How Harry Potter show us what is wrong with personality theory

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 15:44:18 +0000

Why I dislike labels - the legacy left behind after the reports and the assumptions.

The judgements that are thrown out by people who don't have your processing challenges. Who have no idea how your brain works or how to actually support you.

We only ever focus on what we can't do.

But increasingly the personality content online is inaccurate and doesn't represent Myers-Briggs's work. But the limitations we often apply and our conditioning.

Episode 302: What we become because of the Scale

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 12:50:05 +0000

How we become something new because of the assumptions and expectations of education.

How this makes you feel. How I can go from whole to feeling useless after 5 days.

Episode 300: Why are we Bullied?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 12:58:53 +0000

Why are we Bullied?

A journey through the reasons we are bullied and how to reach peace with this so the patterns truly change for humanity. So it's no longer beneficial to bully.

When the mist overwhelms the “I” in me, I take two or three letters out of the little box and reread them. They remind me of my true self. They make me overlook all that is not high and beautiful in life. Each and every one of us, dear Mary, must have a resting place somewhere. The resting place of my soul is a beautiful grove where my knowledge of you lives.

Episode 295: Feeling and thinking differences

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 14:50:10 +0000

A very reflective podcast since it's 13 years yesterday since I got the keys to my school. Thinking about how I don't need the person opposite to be me. To even shut down aspects of myself to be less reactive in order to be of more help to others. Feeling my way through why my own report at 16 wasn't very helpful to me.

Episode 294: Trust and Speach for Teens

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 11:37:12 +0000

Episode 293: Time, Instant Gratification and Change

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 10:45:33 +0000

The disconnect we now have between instant gratification - instant response and the natural course of development and how long change creates.

For years I have done a task with students to compare Rosa Parks and Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Both in terms of difference of personality to both create an impact as the best of themselves but also the length of time change takes.

Episode 292: Dangers of the individual focus

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 12:18:31 +0000

My main task - what it is most said to me at the end of a teen session - or any session really regardless of age

“I feel seen" - “I feel you get me"

Being seen - ironically it’s only when we feel seen that we bring the best of us to a group or a collective.

So why is this generation living in turmoil? Not feeling enough?

Episode 291: Why it’s more than picking pronouns?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

It's not a fad. It's an outing. It's a big deal to pick your pronouns.

I want to journey as Naoisé in the world but recognise the difference in others journeys to mine and hold them in their truth. It's not about just being in the club. It's about being in your wholeness. Your Core.

Episode 290: Changing Teen Patterns

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 02 Jan 2022 13:14:36 +0000

Introduction to season 7 of the podcast - why did I pick to focus on teens for this series? Why is the world harder to grow up in right now? That's going to be the focus of this series.

Bad patterns don't just continue - they are about the choices people feel they can make. What they deserve.

The simplest way for teens to change is to ask for help - but they learn at home if this is too shameful or not.

Episode 287: Cicely Tyson Biography - finding yourself

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 10:37:42 +0000

This is a podcast in lessons on looking to biographies to find yourself.

I prescribe biographies for everyone I work with regardless of age.

This is also a lot of what I don’t talk about living in the gap because when I do I feel projected at ... so I thought it would be good for me to walk the talk for you all. These are the sorts of simple podcasts which feel like jumping off a cliff for me. Finding yourself in others and not wanting to compare to those so great.

It's a very difficult podcast to record - to record your truth - what drives you. What values do you really care about? How you hope that by your choices you enable others to be better versions of themselves.

The series of books for younger readers I couldn't remember the name of!

Episode 286: The Gap in growth

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 08:59:11 +0000

Or what I call the Projection Zone. When people no longer hear what you are saying - they are so focused on the gap from where you are working from that they can't reach you - just project.

Quote I use:

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

Carl Jung

Episode 285: Splinching your soul - working from an open-hearted space

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 08:35:26 +0000

Episode 282: Breaking the confinements of your training

Skills:

Episode 281: My relationship with time

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 11:41:12 +0000

The dates were all a year out in my last podcast - why? hat relationship do I have to time? What are cycles and development so much more important for me?

I forgot to add that in fact, I feel these are the roots of ageing concerns - people who focus on cycles and development don't worry about ageing. They live for growth to the day they die - they don't stop changing/growing/evolving and wait to die as many do.

Episode 280: Current blocks to growth in humanity

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 08:42:37 +0000

This is an introduction to series 6 of the podcast. It is about working with all the levels of development. What do I mean by levels? I have shared two systems below to view them differently. Why are people stuck on different levels of growth? This is what this series is about. Why are we following people who are sharing such conspiracy content to the world?

As usual, this is a journey for me to embark on too - I'm sure the path will unfold. it always does.

I’ve gone for easy articles for you to dip into the topics ... not the ones with the most depth but I always try to share articles that are accessible in reading level.

Walking the talk - I need a week to recharge my own batteries and give myself think time for a big podcast which is brewing in me!

We may be wrapping up this series too and switching gears again - same themes, the same purpose but I feel a shift on the horizon...

Thank you

Episode 278: Being Translator

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:36:39 +0000

There are always themes to my work and the current one is being translator - sometimes I work very closely with the 'students' but other times I work with their environments. I translate what unconditional love is which was the purpose of my first book Journey to Unconditional love hosted on my Patreo. I have watched the change in people's relationships - people they never thought they'd be able to get on with and be close too. Even being traped with them for the pandemic.

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261&fan_landing=true

But a bigger question is what is the purpose of love in your life?

Episode 277: Affects of forcing socialisation.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 15:06:07 +0000

What has COVID and lockdown brought to the surface? What is social? Can you force it? What happens when you do? Why have we made something that so many have fought for so complex?

I wrote this quote a long time ago now -

"Everyone has 3 fundemental needs;
to be liked
to have a purpose
& to know where they belong."

Naoisé, April 2010.

Episode 274: The dark side of people

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 12:34:05 +0000

The uses of looking at the whole and what it brings up for you.

We can't simply avoid words or quotes or work left by those with darkness - we need to see what we can learn from their journey and why they behave the way they do. I use a number of Carl Jung quotes listed below.

”One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.”

Jung

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”
Jung

“Your perception will become clear only when you can look into your soul.”
Jung

“Everything about other people that doesn’t satisfy us helps us to better understand ourselves.”
Jung

Episode 273: Maternity ward to my door

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 13:06:46 +0000

Much of my work begins in the first experience of life on earth. The first moments of a team being formed or not. We have got this seriously wrong for the future of the world during these pandemic days.

Episode 269: The Development Journey

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 08 Aug 2021 12:33:28 +0000

It's taken me a decade to understand why I didn't want to replicate the Montessori method and way of leaving a legacy of wor behind.

There are limitations when we are so set to leaving behind structures/methods rather than principles

Episode 268: Self

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 11:21:20 +0000

Developed in the backdrop of the Pandemic.

Individual - wholeness - core - emptiness - consciousness all go together.

We confess development of an individual with self -

Ego - self - control - greed - self-serving all go together

We need individuals to develop to speak for the whole and the collective to express itself.

Episode 267: OCD, eating disorders, role-play games and the pandemic

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 13:46:55 +0000

I'm more worried now than I have ever been about people's mental health. The transition back to the world is proving just how much we were in escapism and not secureness. We need to seriously take stock for small children of the safe virtual worlds they are happier in than real life and the controlling dangerous behaviours they are developing.

Episode 266: Unconditional and Self-Worth

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 09:47:33 +0000

We muddle worthiness, success, unconditional, needs, conditions, and expectations all the time in society

What is your measure of yourself dependent on? Are you whole worthy secure in your core?

Why do you take actions? - be honest

Are your expectations for you or for others best?

It’s funny this is number ’66’ - as it’s said to be the number of unconditional love

I would argue that if you truly support people from an unconditional place they can’t even trace back what is helping them .... It’s as hidden and subtle as walking through a spiders web....

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:07:11 +0000

The power trip - the underlying two tier society. This is all goes back to 'love is love'

Quote used Kahlil Gibran from the Prophet;

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself… You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow…”

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 16:02:23 +0000

Why I think writing creates change.

Quotes used; "Sharing our stories is a revolutionary act, and the first step towards building a world where we care for and protect one another. But the stories of Black survivors are often silenced or dismissed." Gloria Steinem, Twitter

Episode 257: When we compare norms

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 16:01:18 +0000

All the norms we have that we don't think about - My journey outside of Dublin and time to reflect on the last few years in Ireland in particular.

Episode 256: Coming Out - Pride

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 09:09:22 +0000

My own journey in coming out - what I have learnt from working in conservative environments and being the only girl on the course .. my 1st women's club night ... Why I need to be a Feminist for others ... Why I find a lot of the posts BS... How I have really struggled to have intimate friendships. How I now have then and what matters.

Episode 255: You're not ahead you are flowering to nurture

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 17:43:37 +0000

I didn't say the quote quite perfectly (sorry, please forgive me!)
Alice Walker — "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."

Harry Potter quote from Dumbeldore to Harry on how Voldemort takes too much stock in the Prophecy - not Harry's mother's love

"Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!"

Episode 253: Combined Souls healing generational patterns

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 31 May 2021 08:04:59 +0000

A podcast that ranges from my experiences on a German exchange trip the year after the Berlin Wall fell to my research on Druids. I want you to look out for the souls who have come together from opposing backgrounds that have caused such trauma but have not compromised their identity. Why pain matters - why you have to feel it - it's not about comparison to what you know - it's about what you feel. When you feel, you heal. There must be no compromise in identity.

Episode 252: Pseudo-relationships created in marriage separation (naracisim patterns)

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 30 May 2021 17:12:26 +0000

(This is an especially relevant dynamic for daughters)
This podcast is aimed at teens as I explain in the intro and I also decided to use 'parent' as the gender-neutral term when I started talking it out! I decided that masculine and feminine energy is an overall complex adult viewpoint...There are enough complexities without this in the mix at 16 - thought if we get these dynamics right ironically they grow to create the balance I decide as being so important! Even if it is aimed at teens it's a very important podcast for parents to listen to especially if the relationship has ended due to a traumatic abusive event. I try to weave through the complexity of these relationships but show that it's very simple to actually create lasting change with a few simple insights. The quote I use is: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci.

Episode 251: Fly on the wall episode

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 25 May 2021 09:32:33 +0000

This amazing woman had the unique experience of being the 'adult' observer while I worked with a teen who was supported by my Patreon.

This is a rare glimpse into what I do from someone who started out as a client as well. It's also an insight into the flexibility which Patreon has allowed me.

Episode 250: Boxes

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 24 May 2021 09:01:11 +0000

An introduction to a rare interview episode I'm going to record next .... 'the fly on the wall' episode which may finally answer the question - what do I do... ?

Our limitations in thinking are the reasons for the injustices in humanity - when we understand our need for boxes - we will understand how to create change. A secure individual is not in a box!

PS I get 3s and 5s confused (and 'f's, 'r's and 'c's for some strange reason) - so this should be speaking about the 25th of May and for some reason the universe has determined it will go out early not after as I intended...

Episode 249: Is spiritualism unintentionally racist?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 23 May 2021 09:56:50 +0000

Patreon - intro to this book: If I wrote a book in advance to feel content, secure and happy going into Lockdown last year .. this was the book. It's the book I have shared over the year with many of my soul tribe ... it's an unusual book in that it talks more bout the conflict I have always felt between science and spiritualism - which I covered in my podcast only last week in the Religion Episode. I hope as we emerge back into the world or in some cases go through yet another spin of the Labyrinth you will find it helpful...

Episode 248: Religion

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 15 May 2021 16:06:53 +0000

Energy, belief, my own religious journey...
Poem Meaning by Czeslaw Milosz.

When I die, I will see the lining of the world.
The other side, beyond bird, mountain, sunset.
The true meaning, ready to be decoded.
What never added up will add Up,
What was incomprehensible will be comprehended.

– And if there is no lining to the world?
If a thrush on a branch is not a sign,
But just a thrush on the branch? If night and day
Make no sense following each other?
And on this earth there is nothing except this earth?
– Even if that is so, there will remain
A word wakened by lips that perish,
A tireless messenger who runs and runs
Through interstellar fields, through the revolving galaxies,
And calls out, protests, screams.

2:To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy, and science.
3:To investigate the unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in man.

Episode 247: Split Personalities - Conquering abuse from childhood - The ultimate Unicorns possible (ISFJ/INFJ)

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 15 May 2021 16:05:37 +0000

Retrospectively I see how these two podcasts (religion episode) go together - even though I arrived at them from such different thinking!

This is when a personality not only survives abuse but makes the experience a strength...

What are split personalities - What creates them? Why are they negative for families (and humanity) - what is possible? How can integrating your life experiences make you a unique highly functioning being for the betterment of humanity?

Episode 246: Unconditional Love - Mother's Day

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 09 May 2021 09:33:32 +0000

Comparing Harry Potter and Nevile Longbottom. Why acceptance is the most important part of unconditional. We shouldn't need to lose our own self worth for unconditional love.
* why Mother's Day is different in Ireland - it's Mid-Lent - from google "Historians believe it evolved from the 16th-century Christian practice of visiting mothers in the season of Lent. The date changes every year because it is linked to Easter, and Easter varies depending on the lunar calendar."

Episode 245: How we build egos - why it matters for Humanity

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 06 May 2021 13:02:54 +0000

A follow on from the podcast before - understanding the impacts and differences of internal noise versus external noise. Also an extension to the thinking in the Maslow/development podcast

How we create egos by desensitising ourselves - how we need to lose our view that sensitivity is bad - that we need to use the tools to create secureness, not numbness. We need to understand how energy is carried through generations.

Episode 244: ASD Genes versus Dyslexia Genes - demonstration of our fundamental judgement of difference

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 06 May 2021 13:00:40 +0000

These next two episodes are a double bill even if they don't seem so initially!

How I fundamentally don't like our obsession with labelling people with ASD (Asperger's syndrome/Autism)

It's as if we build education to create industries to fix the damage.

Episode 243: Worst year in history? 2020

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 18:41:08 +0000

A rambling podcats on the worrying trends in humanity. Do we pay for our sins every 400 to 500 years? One slight important note I want to make - I have presented the number for the deaths of the Indigenous Peoples from Small Pox brought by European settlers. I have deliberately not commented on this as I'm researching it at the moment along with Druids (oddly) and I feel too uneducated at present. So this is why I present it in such a mere numbers way!

Episode 242: Maslow - Development Scales - Purple Development - Developing from the top down

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 20:53:59 +0000

A weird journey into my brain this week and how I can finally describe something after a year of thought. I needed to realise you drag the centre of the labyrinth up out of the page 3D to form the top of the pyramid! The out of my comfort zone links to some energy readers who inspired my random thoughts ..

Episode 241: Covid Anxiety - coping with the pain and overwhelm of the world this week

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 10:21:04 +0000

I don't know what to call this podcast - being a muggle - being in a zone where I feel so overwhelmed that I have a new reference place for trying to discern a way through humanity this week. Have you ever questioned where your ancestor's wealth comes from? What they took part in? If you passed a row of images and sculptures depicting the barbaric past actions - would you represent, teach and protect others from a different place? *Disclaimer - I am not a medical doctor and none of my advice is to replace that of consulting medical advice and help. And the second disclaimer - some of the content is upsetting.

Episode 240: Balance of Masculine and Feminine energy

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:30:33 +0000

If we viewed all relationships and connections as growth how different would the world be? If we saw that we all contain masculine and feminine energy to be balanced - how would the conversations around roles, identity and gender change? Why does each person cross our path and how do we help each person's growth? What difference does this make in a true balanced romantic partnership? How would women be supported in the world?

Episode 239: Motivation and Responsibility

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 11:18:00 +0000

What motivates some people to be more responsible outside of themselves? How does sensitivity to the world play its part here? How do roles associated with the masculine change the outcomes?

Episode 238: How sexuality controls us - inspired by Gandhi

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 18:43:12 +0000

I’m sorry to my younger listeners - I pride myself on having a podcast that is listened to by every span of age groups and with gender freedom ... But I’m going to end up swearing, talking about difficult topics and I’m going to mention sex and so if I don’t make this content explicit someone will flag the whole podcast.
Quotes used in podcast;
"To become a brahmachari means you are ecstatic by your own nature. You can be married and still be a brahmachari. It is possible because you are joyful by your own nature; you are not trying to extract joy from your husband or wife. This is how it should be. The whole world should be brahmachari. Everyone should be joyful by their own nature. If two people come together, it should be a sharing of joy, not extraction of joy from each other." Sadhguru

"The Virgin (and I’m not speaking here of a sexual virgin) is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.
The Martyr finds her way to self-knowledge through pain, surrender and suffering.
The Saint finds her true reason for living in unconditional love and in her ability to give without asking anything in return.
Finally, the Witch justifies her existence by going in search of complete and limitless pleasure” Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

Episode 237: I love black Sheep - Racism & Society Culture

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 21:46:24 +0000

Why do we use language the way we do? What makes our expressions racist?
Geeky project for someone: Can someone please submit a request for a black & brown unicorn? Oh and an alien one too .... Lots of other people search for this too - I’m not alone. Basically, unicorns shouldn’t just be white - there is a geeky homeschooling project for your teen ...

I mention; James Baldwin - Nobody Knows My Name - In Search of a Majority
Mark Twain - "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it’s time to pause and reflect"

Episode 230: Personality is out of season

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 21:29:46 +0000

The concerns I have as move away from developing the individual. Why we need this understanding to overcome our inabilities inside for whatever reasons which never leave.

Episode 229: Re-Reading books - the benefits, what you can find in yourself?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 08:27:09 +0000

The benefits - why are you drawn to certain books? Why you can't just re-read my own books - the words seem to change and the benefits of using a poetry style in places.
People whose names I use in the podcast and I mangle some of them (sorry): Paulo Coelho, Fannie Flagg, Anna Gavalda (Hunting and Gathering), Toni Morrison (Beloved), Alice Walker, Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, Madeleine L'Engle (Wrinkle in Time), Frederick Forsyth (The Day of the Jackal)

Episode 227: This is your time - A year of COVID

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 11:53:12 +0000

Not my title - the phrase I've been getting sent to my inbox for a year.
I'm a bit battered this week - writing books takes as much as working with people personally. and what does it take to get a result? Why is it easier to just write a prescription for pills and why do we have so many medicated teens?

Episode 226: Racism and Irish Identity

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 14:57:04 +0000

Episode 225: Love

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 20:48:20 +0000

Valentine and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, in either 269 or 270.

“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh

Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet (extract)
Our children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you, they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite.
And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hands be for happiness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
So He loves the bow that is stable.

“His first earned purchase made him glow, never mind the turnips were withered dry. That was when he decided that to eat, walk and sleep anywhere was life as good as it got.”

Episode 206: We rarely reward people who don’t compromise

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 13:10:09 +0000

Why I admire John Lewis and Dr Jane Goodall so much. The idea of being 'in this world but not of it' as spoken about John Lewis. Reading others, questioning your work but not yourself and your true Core. Working with others to reach a place of true equality and support. the cloak of compromise we vail our Core with.

John Lewis quote used: “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates.”

I have recorded the intro to this podcast 3 times as I have messed up 3 times in new ever-increasing ways!
I used the word 'minority' originally which is accurate in an Irish context. The challenge with our own frame of reference. Then I made it worse. And now I don't know what to call it.

Why the pain as a white person not being able to read and write in school does not have the same generational patterns as it does for a student who is not white.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 17:14:29 +0000

The equal and opposite reaction to growth. Why you need to have pride in what it has taken for the reaction of the red mass. How those people are trapped in those red squares and you are not. The equal and opposite reaction that has taken place in every sense. Where this week has taken me back to personally. My own empathetic pain.

Episode 201: The power of the individual - how people grow like trees

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 08:44:49 +0000

Why we need the elder tress to protect the young saplings and encourage their growth to their true possibility.

Quotes used: Post Of Gloria Steinem (Instagram) "...change always grows from the bottom up, like a tree, not from the top down. So look at each other, trust what you know is right - and keep going!"

Now Is The Time To Open Your Heart - Alice Walker
".. the young trees coming up had no shade to protect them from the blistering sun that backed the earth to ash. They were as brittle as matchsticks and unable to grow tall. They would never know the grandeur of the parents and grandparents who proceeded them. How would they ever guess what their true nature was?"

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:21:45 +0000

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 12:34:21 +0000

How we develop cores - a strong sense of achieving beyond ourselves? How we go through the Jung stages of development to feel good enough to take actions beyond us and for others. How if you have not had the privilege of achieving for yourself you don't feel good enough to be picked by the team for humanity. Those who have achieved need to be mindful of how they address these people who are still on stage 1 of development and make them feel as if they are good enough. I mention John Lewis and the Civil Rights Non-Violence Workshops run by Rev. James Lawson.

Episode 188: Thoughts on 1st US presidential debate - affects on domestic abuse

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 20:04:34 +0000

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and Stokely Carmichael speaking to the unresolved pain of the African American in 1966. How people fall off the pedestal for me.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 17:00:23 +0000

This episode is about everything from roles, effects of social media, cancel culture, younger voting age, banning books. But most especially why there is a huge generation gap - the lack of compromise.

Episode 183: Navigating the COVID world with Processing Challenges

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 11:37:17 +0000

We need to stop making so many assumptions about what others can see, hear, read and process. We need to stop press pause and match people where they are rather than shouting at them aggressively. But as I once wrote - it's always easier to judge than it is to understand.

Episode 182: The scales of Literacy

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 09:41:04 +0000

I wrote a piece called 'Scales Of Literacy' on drnaosieoreilly dot org

What is being literate? How have our expectations changed? Why does this matter? Why do I have such fear around the American Presidental Election? Why do I have a vision for a dance piece to change the world? How will you feeling what others feel change everything?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 13:15:09 +0000

Dr Jane Goodall's Back To Kind, Ailey Arts In Education & Community Programs, The virtual March on Washington, Centenary of women's right to vote - there is so much happening now. Suddenly if you have a computer and an internet connection in school so much is possible. It's the biggest equality we have had for some time.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 20:33:15 +0000

I don't have all the answers in this podcast but I'd like to talk out the patterns I have seen between 1st and 2nd generation to university in families. What are we losing? Why is a 2nd generation so lost? Unfulfilled?

Episode 171: Gaslighting in election campaigns - American presidential election

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 20:30:14 +0000

What is gaslighting and narcissism? Why are they so effective currently during the American election? This can be used for all relationships but I thought a practical example of the election would be a good context.

Episode 170: Who and what inspires me? My own evolution of learning

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 16:13:05 +0000

The full list from my website - I have skipped some just because this is the longest podcats I have ever recorded and I wanted you to get the end! But I think maybe it's a good way to see the sheer diversity that goes into my thinking and writing.

*Note - slight slip where I called it the 'Progressive' Democrats Convention this week - But that has been because it's been so Progressive to me!

I think it is really important to credit others work – what has gone before you. And to allow your readers/listeners and so on to form their own opinions of the work. You don’t have to love or agree for them to inspire you – but many of these are my heroes. Not in any order – just as they came to mind. I seem to add to the list weekly as I continue to learn.

Episode 168: Voting Code Calling - how to win support in the American Election

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 20:00:48 +0000

How to turn this around so you don't just hit a wall. How to have a political debate without it being a debate. What matters right now? What is a date beyond the 3rd November which everyone cares about? - Thanksgiving. I promised to still focus at least one episode on the American election in the run up to November. This has huge implications for the whole world as I have already recorded in previous episodes. NOTE: Of course, the origins of Thanksgiving are ironically not positive - but for everyone, this is a landmark day. As many of the Native Americans have especially suffered during this pandemic it marks an especially poignant moment.

Episode 167: The balance of the individual and the big picture

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 12:36:13 +0000

How do we create new majorities? Should it be our focus or should we focus on the individual? Why do some people continue the balance of working between the individual and the big message of why they started creating? Why I have had multiple projects since the start.

Episode 166: Why I’m not a fan of continuous assessment

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 11:01:52 +0000

Why do I feel this is the greatest inequality in education? Why does it not build learning goals or character? Who is affected by our constant pressure system? Why does this feed inequality in education?

Episode 165: Distance learning is difficult- why?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 10:56:11 +0000

Why are we viewing distance learning as difficult? Possibly because we have lost the purpose of education in the mix. Why can't we look at other models such as the Open University in the UK which have had a blended learning model since 1969? Will we finally decide to look at inequality in education?

Episode 164: The differences between action and reactionary politics

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 11:07:07 +0000

In a context to Ireland and America. Why I have never got involved in Irish politics despite starting out in student politics both national and within my own university. Why we are still banning tampon ads in Ireland and what route thinking needs to change. Why I focus my energy on the core of each individual.

Episode 163: Charting your own growth

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 10:48:44 +0000

How do we chart our own growth? Why do we tend to count up the 'young' achievements of famous people so much more easily than their later achievements? Why is reflection so important in a world of external validation?

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Episode 162: The ways we hold trauma

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 15:43:53 +0000

A journey into my thoughts from the legendary Rep. John Lewis, non-violent workshops of CORE and the legacy of Alvin Ailey. The dance shows from Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Green Wood and Lazarus. My own trauma and my challenges of not being able to dance. My final understanding of how much it takes for us to be physically secure in order to be vulnerable. We can only be vulnerable from the inside out, form having a strong core. And others can only connect with s through our vulnerability.

Episode 161: Taking intelligence and literacy out of the same sentence

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 15:40:18 +0000

Where it all began for me - my goal starting my own school. To take literacy and intelligence out of the same sentence. But what I have realised how we need to build others up in order to achieve this goal. Everyone needs to feel secure and whole in order to meet others as equals. I'm very worried about the legacy of our associations of literacy and intelligence in the mass media for the last few years which is growing daily.

Episode 160: What is the purpose of education?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 17:27:38 +0000

How has this changed now that we look to go back to normal? Or has it? Should it? Have we really learnt the difference between education, school and learning? What are my wishes for a new tapestry of education? Can you still find yourself without college?

A follow on to the podcats around what girls need from their fathers which I recorded around fathers day. What boys need is slightly more complex as it is more role driven both in their own identity and how they treat women.

Episode 154: Honesty of communication through social media - Freedom of Speech

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 15:21:44 +0000

Why are we now seeing open letters asking for the right to speech? I always worried about the powerful legacy of insinuation that the '#MeToo' campaign highlighted. I've seen how teens struggle in this world - I know the complex layers to communication, especially those through a text-based world. It's taken me years to find the people to exchange communication with so openly on these platforms in a pure way. A little journey to the complexities I have experienced as a gay woman and why I wrote the piece called 'Insinuations legacy' (found on my drnaoiseoreilly dot org) #freespeach #MeToo

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:59:49 +0000

I wrote a companion piece on exiting the Matrix (drnaosieoreilly dot org)

Is there only the option to stay or go? How does having a core help you to stay in the madness?

Why is it a journey? Why do I have to live in the grit and not on top of a mountain? Why do I look for a healthy amount of insecurity on others? Why do I sometimes take a step away and what are the origins of my need to understand others? What is it like to have a different frame of reference?

Episode 152: Dancing and my core

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:55:50 +0000

How dance theatre represents my core. Inspiration from Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison, Pina Bausch.

I wrote a companion piece called Individual Voice (drnaosieoreilly dot org)

Could you imagine if we were taught to swagger down the street with our unique voice? To not all learn to march to someone else’s shape?

Episode 151: Generational patterns of colonialism and interracial relationships

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:55:00 +0000

Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's play Les Blancs. What are the scars? What are the generational patterns you are trying to overcome in any mixed relationship? Regardless of backgrounds, cultures or religions? What are the scars all around us in our cities? You can be in an interracial relationship and still be racist.

Podcast 150: The differences between American and European racism - the scale of hate origins

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 15:52:57 +0000

This is an idea I first saw/heard Music by Loah talk about - the hate scale. How small acts of racism add up to the maximum end of the scale where your life is in danger. I introduce the origins of European racism and American. The cultural experiences which allow us to absorb these; Alvin Ailey's Greenwood, Small Island by Andrea Levy, A Rasin in the sun by Lorrain Hansberry, Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston, 12 years a slave. The writing of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and James Baldwin.

How it's not enough to just say you are not racist or anti-racist. That you don't have these assumptions - you have to take actions that allow the realties of others lives to change.

Episode 149: Personalities of workers facing front line work during COVID 19 - how to make employees feel safe over customer preceptions

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 14:28:06 +0000

Now that lockdown starts to lift I see many nervous unsafe and unhappy employees. We now have hard evidence of how the virus transmits and know how to create safety. But I fear many mangers are being driven by their personalities and the perception of customers over the reality of what needs to be done for everyone's happiness and safety.

The reality is ceratin personalities make better decisions on safety and protocols that can be followed easily by others. Maybe we need to pick the people within companies to have these roles? Hint they are not the usual extrovert sensing personalities that often rise higher in these roles - they are the quieter workers who pause more before actions.

Episode 148: The hidden energy of social media - the tragedy of another suicide

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 19:54:49 +0000

We need to understand that there is a hidden energy need in all successful social media posts - unless you have lost all privacy for other reasons. And that comes with a responsibility too. We all need to look at our part we play - how we need to privately support people. How we need teens to understand this is not a measure of self and validation or how much impact they can make in the world.

I use the Alice Walker quote from a Color Purple - “I try to teach my heart not to want nothing it can't have.”

From a piece Soul Level, I wrote; So I must apply the wisdom of Alice Walker - I can't crave something that I can't have. I can't judge myself based on a world which doesn't operate at a soul level. Well, at least not publicly. I must hold all those private worlds dear. Know they mean so much more than any meaningless fan base. That the level of public engagement never can tell what they have meant privately to the soul of the reader.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 11:54:22 +0000

Nothing new that has ever been created has been embraced. I have to remind myself of this as I stay true to what I'm creating - knowing it has a soul of its own and a big lasting impact for us to finally see the world full of difference. To lose our biases once and for all. How I see those biases so proudly in relation to black people. How I have experienced them in a different way.

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 13:52:53 +0000

Why I have begun to hate the idea of success and creating success - how I have adapted this to be about helping to create secure people instead.

Everyone has biases, idea and opinions - if you say you don't you are either lying to yourself or not self-aware enough. It's impossible to create change and support others form this place. Once you are secure you can have a voice for other people.

Episode 140: Fighting the idea of limiting people - the journey my work has taken

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 12:32:32 +0000

Why others see personality theory as limiting. They are only trying to put you in a box not give you the tools to navigate through life. My own journey my work has taken to hopefully being obsolete.

Personality has the potential to total change self-understanding and community understanding. It is the most palatable form of difference. I get annoyed when I read anyone who talks about personality theory in a limiting way - those are their limitations, not yours.

Episode 137: Why is Alice Walker not on the reading list?

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 12:58:30 +0000

I've seen so many lists of what I'm supposed to read to educate myself on Black lives. Why Is Alice Walker on so few? If I made my own list she would be top with Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin. And those are just my starting blocks.

Why are we so afraid of authentic? What happens when we lose roles in society? The parameters and boxes we so love. Why are teens struggling so much in liberal societies? This is my next body of work and I'm just starting to talk out the ideas and form the thinking.

What consistent behaviours do you need to have as a parent? What to expect fallout as a result.

How is this relevant to what we are watching unfold across America currently? Why have we had generations of controlling people who are drawn to professions where they can abuse this need? why my books are starting to feel like manuals for a better humanity.

Some parents are really struggling in their own homes to raise very controlling children and we are not talking about it. Society rewards their behaviours outside the home and they are struggling to find the balance within.

Episode 134: Why Black writers are so profound for me

Dr Naoisé O'Reilly — Fri, 29 May 2020 17:58:31 +0000

Why do Black writers speak to me on a level like no others? Why is there a correlation for me in illiteracy and race?

Why now are the ingredients for an increase in domestic violence and child abuse? How do we change the patterns? What are practical solutions to help everyone feel they have a role at home?
