The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 are possibly some of the best known parts of the apocalypic book, mainly due to their accessibility compared to the rest of it.

And why all the Old Testament references?Join Alex, Chris & Jo as they discuss these significant chapters, give some good background information that help make sense of what John is writing, and then talk aboput how we might be able to bring some meaning to us today.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZCNYC - 4/13/25 - The second of the Eight Gates of Zen Training is "Mountain Light: Zen Study". Don't confuse it with "Academic Study" which is the third gate. Zen Study refers to the many facets of studying with a teacher. Shugen Roshi explains what that kind of study means and emphasizes the importance of holding it in prominence and at the same time keeping all eight interconnected gates in natural balance. - From the Blue Cliff Record, Case 11 - Huang Po's Gobblers of Dregs

What happens when someone vanishes from your life without a word? In this episode, host Gretta dives into the social phenomenon of ghosting with insights from researchers Yejin Park and Nadav Klein. Together, they unpack the latest research on ghosting, specifically YeJin and Nadav's study, Ghosting: Social Rejection Without Explanation, But Not Without Care.

What differentiates honest syncretism from dishonest syncretism in spiritual traditions? How do new elements like "Ascended Masters" influence the integrity of traditional practices like Segnature? What ethical considerations should be made when integrating new beliefs into established traditions? Dr. Puca's exploration offers an academic yet accessible analysis, ideal for those interested in religious studies, cultural anthropology, and the evolution of magical practices. Dr. Angela Puca delves into the intricate world of syncretism within religious and esoteric practices, using her fieldwork in the Italian folk magic tradition of Segnature as a primary case study.

How, in the name of the Holy Virgin Mary, did Michelle Remembers—the book that started the Satanic Panic—come to be written? Who was Lawrence Pazder really? Did he encourage and exaggerate Michelle Smith's recovered memories of ritual abuse? Did Smith tell him what he wanted to hear? Or was it a little of both?  Canadian filmmakers Sean Horlor and Steve Adams have a new documentary out called “Satan Wants You,” and it fills in a lot of the blanks in our prior “Swan Song Series” reporting with incredible archival footage and brave interviews from friends and family members.  Today it opens at Toronto's Hot Docs Festival, which means the reviews embargo is lifted… and our review is: “Incredible work.

According to RAKESH SHARMA, one of the most enduring mysteries of Bitcoin is the identity of its founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. "Little is known about this person or group, and their identity has never been confirmed," the writer adds in a post on Investopedia. "In October 2008, a message signed by Satoshi Nakamoto titled "Bitcoin P2P e-cash paper" announced the creation of the cryptocurrency. For the next two years, Satoshi remained active in the community, communicating with others in the development of the blockchain. Satoshi's last message on the Bitcoin forums was posted in December 2010, though unverified private messages from April 2011 have surfaced." This is an intriguing time for the volatile crypto markets with the spectacular fallout from the collapse of the FTX crypto platform and a blitz of significant pieces on crypto by industry leaders. One piece in the Wall Street Journal calls for a ban on crypto by US regulators following the example of the Chinese government. There is also a controversial theory making the rounds based on an academic study by Sean Griffin that may show evidence of bitcoin being artificially propped up by a secretive group. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-aidan-byrne0/support

There's no Teal Swan without the Satanic Panic. And there's no Satanic Panic without the 1980 publication of Michelle Remembers, by Lawrence Pazder and Michelle Smith. In this first of three segments on this melted book, Matthew and Julian cover its historical, cultural, and mass media context. We start with a review of a 1985 20/20 episode called “The Devil Worshippers” for a taste of how mainstream outlets hosted cranks like Pazder, giving him a hall pass on evidence, and overlooking how his Catholic fetishes and paranoias played a huge role in the fictions he spun. The post Vatican 2 context is crucial, especially as we bear witness to the current political triumphs of Trad-Cath propaganda and politics in our post-Roe, QAnon -fried world. For help, we look to an excellent essay by social historian Bernard Doherty about the genre and elements of the Catholic Horror Film, which begins with Rosemary's Baby in 1968. This reactionary genre attempted to respond to modernizing—or postmodernizing, as Jordan Peterson might say—changes in Church doctrine. Bottom line? The Satanic Panic largely begins in and is sustained by Catholic-flavoured conspirituality anxiety about secularization, sex, babies, and abortion. CORRECTIONS: My dad informs me that I've made some Pope mistakes! Pius X was the last legitimate Pope according to the sedavacantists, and John XXIII, not Paul XXIII, opened the Vatican 2 proceedings. Thx dad.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale and unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine, falsely claiming that it aimed to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the country. While many people are broadly aware of the terrible toll that Russia's war has wrought on civilians, there is less awareness about the religious ramifications of the Russian invasion.Ruslan Khalikov and Liliia Pidgorna, two scholars with the Workshop for the Academic Study of Religion in Ukraine, join us today to discuss the impact Russia's invasion of Ukraine has had on religious freedom.Read USCIRF's 2022 Annual Report Chapter on RussiaRead USCIRF's Backgrounder: RussiaWith Contributions from: Dwight Bashir, Director of Outreach and Policy, USCIRFKeely Bakken, Senior Policy Analyst, USCIRFDylan Schexnaydre, Victims List and Outreach Specialist, USCIRF

Jessica Maddox, an assistant professor of digital media at the University of Alabama, is the author of the forthcoming book The Internet Is For Cats: How Animal Images Shape Our Digital Lives. Her research has largely involved looking at how people share and consume photos of animals on the Internet. She and Annie discuss a variety of topics relating to social media pets. Maddox offers an academic take on why people create Instagram accounts for their pets, are drawn to stories about Ukrainian rescue cats, and more. What does Youtube have to say about the practice of tying puppies to train tracks so that someone can post a video of their rescue? Why do some brands prefer to work with pet influencers over human ones?

It's no surprise to any working operator that real-world, practical hands-on experience is crucial to success on the job. But what about having a theoretical knowledge or an academic understanding of intelligence?  This week we're talking with Dr. Samantha Newbery, senior Reader in Intelligence Studies at the University of Salford, to get a better grasp of why having a broader knowledge and academic understanding of intelligence is even relevant for today's EP professional and how it applies to the corporate security world.   Join us as we pick Dr. Newbery's brain on:  Whether tomorrow's EP professional is going to be required to just have a little more context and academic scope when operating? What the difference is between open-source intelligence courses and the academic study of intelligence? What is the value of academic studies and intelligence to the real world? A reverse question - who shouldn't be doing academic training in this area. Is there any category of person? Perhaps some stage of someone's career? Who shouldn't do it? What does one need to do in preparation before embarking on a master's degree? Why are ethics and intelligence gathering as such an important issue? Is it more difficult to do studies about intelligence in the private sector?  With the drawdown in Afghanistan and colleagues looking at what to do next, could this be an area for EPs to gravitate to? We'll have to see what time will tell on that. But we can take a cue from Dr. Newbery in deciphering that when she says: In intelligence studies, we call it ‘signals and noise'. The vast amount of data that you get is the noise. But “intelligence” are the signals that are actually significant to you amongst all that noise  For more about Dr. Newbery: Dr. Samantha Newbery is leader in International Security at the University of Salford, Manchester. A political scientist, her expertise lies in intelligence and security. She is regularly invited to speak to academic audiences as well as to security professionals and has made numerous TV and radio appearances. Her publications include Interrogation, Intelligence and Security: Controversial British Techniques, the first book to systematically analyze the British use of interrogation techniques that can be described as torture. Why Spy? The Art of Intelligence was co-authored with Brian T.W. Stewart CMG, a former Deputy Chief of MI6 and Secretary of the Cabinet Office's Joint Intelligence Committee, is available in paperback.

Description Marcus Evans teaches courses on Asian religions at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, exploring new perspectives and incorporating different voices that help students access and interpret old texts. His teaching integrates and combines classical Buddhist works and contrasts and compares these with the works of modern hip hop artists, helping students to see ways that art, literature, and religion evolve and respond in interrelated ways. In this episode, Sarah Richardson asks him about his research and how he brings fresh voices and perspectives into conversation, taking these as strategies for greater student inclusion and antiracist teaching in the University. Quotes "The Bhagavad Gita means the Song of the Lord. These brothers, way back in the ancient days, they were rhyming. They were kicking raps.” Marcus Evans  “I wanted them to see if they can pick up on this notion of change in itself and how change and impermanence support a Buddhist concept, because that was something that was very subtle in the lyrics.” Marcus Evans “I decided to incorporate black American voices into this [course]. I was thinking about it in a way of decentering whiteness and looking at the narrative of transmission of Asian texts to North America by decentering the white gaze.” Marcus Evans "Which voices can I bring in to challenge the standard way that we do it? This is effective in itself, even in just the people that we attract to the course.” Marcus Evans “You know, when I taught my course the Great Books of Asian Religions, it was so fascinating because when I looked into the audience it was the first time that I saw a lot of black in the audience, I had never really seen that in a religious studies course.” Marcus Evans Music References RZA  Wu-Tang Clan Nicki Minaj  T.I., “I Believe” https://youtu.be/0GsVTsuPyOg Killer Mike  KRS-One Tina Turner Dead Prez, “Learning, Growing, Changing” https://youtu.be/ttHukW70TAM  Stic.man, The Workout, 2011 https://open.spotify.com/album/5LHhOmal06SQEBREgV7hR1?si=ikA7LKDlQWuy_lkW3AMwIQ  Dead Prez, Let's Get Free, 2000 https://open.spotify.com/album/7gXuElmegVReY7imkb5bf8?si=ubkZ20qGTX6UYWJzsjrbyg  Dead Prez, Information Age, 2013 https://open.spotify.com/album/1ctEzpKcYukYAOXpyXx7C9?si=WNdJii0qQkmk4-zNcb7CVg  Links to articles and books Marcus Evans, PhD Candidate at McMaster University https://socialsciences.mcmaster.ca/people/evans-marcus James Robson. “Daoism.” In Norton Anthology of World Religions, edited by James Miles.

What's the relationship between people's personal faith and their political activism? What extra dimension does religion bring to social movements and to contemporary cities? How might being a person of faith shape one's attitude to environmentalism and to caring for life beyond the self?

(Cards on the table time: We recorded this back in 2019 before Speaking Out. At the time Joey Ryan was a respected performer thought to be playing a sleazy character, Unfortunately it turns out he was in real life a sleazy character. I don't think this changes the analysis Jacqui did or the themes covered, but please know we would not be talking about Joey in this way if the interview took place today. We are mainly talking about Candice LeRae and storytelling. Jac also chats about her band Cheap Pop, their badass In Gorilla album, and we end with an exclusive preview of her song Mean Gene.

In the study of religion there are various camps that each approach their subjects in unique ways. Each method is shaped by particular interpretive choices, such as to be objectively neutral, experientially invested, or use scientific measures, for example. Whatever strategy one uses there is a relationship between one’s social identity and the categories shaping theoretical and methodological assumptions. This is what Christopher M. Driscoll, Assistant Professor at Lehigh University, and Monica R. Miller, Associate Professor at Lehigh University, argue in their new book Method as Identity: Manufacturing Distance in the Academic Study of Religion (Lexington, 2018). These dynamics can be witnessed when thinking about how the boundaries of methodological practice are defined in the so-called critical study of religion versus something like the study of black religion, where there is often an assumed identity-interested motivation to analysis. Driscoll and Miller produce a generative set of inquiries that require researchers to consider the role of race and social identity and how that informs their interpretive stance. In our conversation we discuss questions of the “whiteness” of certain methods, the function of the designation “black” in “black religion,” the 1958 meeting of the International Association for the History of Religions, pioneer scholar Charles Long and the Chicago school of History of Religions, the relationship between the categories race and religion, hip hop, and the productive role of writing in tension.

You couldn't ask for a more dynamic personality to be in the house than Dr. Amy Hale, whose work on British Surrealist and esotericist Ithell Colquhoun is the foundation for our conversation here. Amy is a scholar of all things occult and esoteric, and has a PhD in Folklore and Mythology from UCLA. Her research and writing ranges from contemporary Cornwall to modern Pagan and occult subcultures in the United States and the United Kingdom. She’s written about topics as diverse as modern Druidry, Cornish ethnonationalism, Pagan religious tourism, color theory, the occult, and extremist politics in modern Paganism. We’ll touch on some of those ideas and concepts throughout our chat here. One note: Amy’s audio did have some inconsistencies in terms of volume, but I enhanced what I could, so hopefully it’s not too bad.   PATREON EXTENSION Listen at patreon.com/occulture Ithell’s interest in the convergence of color, metaphysics and space The Golden Dawn’s Book T and how Ithell interacted with it A concept called the cube of space A concept called psychological morphology that Ithell used The structure of the tarot deck How Ithell incorporated her idea of feminism into the deck   RESOURCES Taro As Colour Tarot illustrations Amy’s website   DONATE If recurring monthly support via Patreon isn’t your thing, we do accept one time-donations via PayPal, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple.

A Craft of Teaching in the Academic Study of Religion program. There is a widely accepted notion that teachers of ancient and so-called “dead” languages face a set of challenges distinct from that of modern language teachers, with different goals and approaches. The purpose of this workshop is to reconsider this notion. We'll be asking such questions as: What goals do we have in mind for our language students, and how successful are we in guiding them to these goals? What assumptions underlie the usual approaches to teaching ancient languages? What aspects of modern language instruction might we fruitfully incorporate into our teaching? Although Latin will be a focus of the presentation, this workshop is designed to benefit all teachers of ancient languages. Led by Alex Lee, an advanced PhD student in the Department of Classics, University of Chicago. During his several years of teaching Latin and Greek at the university, he has developed a passion for language pedagogy. He is very interested in language acquisition theory and has experience with alternative methods of language instruction. Co-sponsored by the Department of Classics. Recorded in Swift Hall’s Common Room on May 10, 2013.
