BH Sales Kennel Kelp CTFO Changing The Future Outcome

Grandpa Bill's Harmony Music House-"Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA, Silver Streakers"! "The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour," hosted by Grandpa Bill.The Silver Streakers' Symphony of Health: Music's Magic for All Ages!Grandpa Bill: Welcome ALL-Silver Streakers and Kids from 1 to 92! BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! Today, we're not just moving our bodies, we're moving our souls with the incredible power of music! And we're going to make it stick in your mind with a super cool Memory Palace!"Grandpa Bill says: "Alright, close your eyes (not if you're driving, folks!), and let's imagine our Memory Palace. We're going to call it the 'Harmonious Health Hall'. Picture it: a grand, beautiful hall, maybe with stained-glass windows shimmering with musical notes, and the air just hums with good vibes. This is where we'll store the secrets to music's health benefits.Grandpa Bill: Now, we're going to use a special trick called PAO – Person, Action, Object. It's like a mini-story for each benefit, making it super sticky. Here are three key benefits we'll place in our Harmonious Health Hall:Memory Palace Location: Imagine this right at the entrance of our Harmonious Health Hall.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "As you step into our Harmonious Health Hall, there's Elvis Presley, cool as a cucumber, crooning a gentle lullaby. He's standing next to a Giant Soothing Lavender Lamp, just glowing with peace. That's right, folks, music, especially choir singing and dancing, helps reduce stress and anxiety! It's like Elvis himself is telling your worries to 'Return to Sender'!"Memory Palace Location: In the center of the Harmonious Health Hall, perhaps on a grand dance floor.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Now, look straight ahead into the heart of our hall. Who do you see? It's Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, absolutely twirling with pure joy under a magnificent, Giant Sparkling Disco Ball! They're having a blast, laughing, totally connected. This reminds us that music, especially dancing and singing in a choir, boosts your mood and strengthens social connections! Get up and move with your fellow Silver Streakers!"Memory Palace Location: At the far end of the Harmonious Health Hall, near a stage or grand piano.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Walk with me now to the other end of the hall, near the stage. And who's up there? None other than Albert Einstein, with a big smile, conducting an invisible orchestra with incredible focus! Next to him is a Glowing Brain-Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle, with all the pieces perfectly fitting together. That's music, folks! Engaging with music, whether it's learning an instrument, singing, or dancing, actually enhances your cognitive function and sharpens your memory! Keep those brain cells boogieing!"Grandpa Bill: "There you have it, my magnificent Memory Palace mavens! Elvis soothing your stress, Fred and Ginger twirling with joy and connection, and Einstein conducting your brilliant brain! Remember these images, and remember the amazing health benefits of getting musical! Whether it's humming in the shower, joining a choir, or busting a move in your living room – make music a part of your daily 'Workout for Geriatrics'#WorkoutsForGeriatrics,#SilverStreaker's,#GrandpaBill,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#MusicAndHealth,#MusicPsychology,#ChoirBenefits,#DancingForHealth,#MemoryPalace,#PAOMnemonic,#CognitiveHealth,#StressRelief,#MoodBoost,#WellnessJourney,#HealthyAging,#MusicIsMedicine,GB-Setting Up MY Memory Palace Location: The "Harmonious Health Hall"The PAO System for Music's Health Benefits1.

In this episode, I listen to a rare and profound lecture by one of the greatest esoteric teachers of the 20th century—Manly P. Hall. Recorded on August 8, 1964 and titled 'Developing the Skills to Make Decisions', this timeless talk explores the metaphysical mechanics behind our choices, the energetic signature of decision-making, and how even the smallest decision echoes into the greater fabric of reality.Hall's multidimensional breakdown reveals that every decision is more than just a choice—it's an act of creative power. He unpacks how our conscious and unconscious intentions shape outcomes, influence karma, and shift the direction of our life path. He also talks about decision as a clarifier, he helps us understand how to align our decisions with higher principles, cultivating a life that resonates with truth and meaning.Join me as we travel back in time to absorb the wisdom of a true master, whose words still guide seekers on the path of awakening.www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, a monumental work that explores the symbolic meanings behind myths, religions, alchemy, mysticism, and secret societies.Hall's ability to synthesize complex spiritual ideas from diverse traditions made him a unique figure in the 20th-century spiritual landscape. Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I connect with Seth Kaplan, author of the recent book "Fragile Neighborhoods" and a recent article "The Real User Interface: Recovering Our Neighborhoods," for a conversation about the challenges of our current community designs and how we can make our neighborhoods less fragile, or to channel Nassim Taleb, make our neighborhoods "Anti-Fragile" once again.Seth argues that our planners and engineers have built a physical landscape optimized for cars but minimized for actual human relationships, suggesting that the automobile is arguably the technology that has made the biggest impact on our associational life while our spread-out community design isolates and divides, weakening the bonds that tie us together. This is especially problematic for children, whose opportunities for spontaneous free play—and the constructive friction that self-organized activities create—are further limited when the physical landscape discourages exploration. He emphasizes that having meaningful destinations within comfortable walking distance is key to building strong ties between us.Thank you so much for tuning in!

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 05 DE MAYOSANGRE DE TOROS Y DE MACHOS CABRÍOSLos símbolos y sombras del servicio de sacrificios, junto con las profecías, dieron a los israelitas una visión velada y borrosa de la misericordia y de la gracia que habían de ser traídas al mundo mediante la revelación de Cristo. Se desplegó ante Moisés el significado de los símbolos y sombras que señalan a Cristo. El vio el fin de lo que había de ser abolido cuando, en la muerte de Cristo, el símbolo se encontrara con lo simbolizado. Vio que únicamente mediante Cristo puede el hombre guardar la ley moral. Por la transgresión de esa ley, el hombre introdujo el pecado en el mundo, y con el pecado vino la muerte. Cristo llegó a ser la propiciación por los pecados del hombre. Ofreció la perfección de su carácter en lugar de la pecaminosidad del hombre. Tomó sobre sí mismo la maldición de la desobediencia. Los sacrificios y las ofrendas señalaban el sacrificio que iba a realizar. El cordero sacrificado simbolizaba al Cordero que había de quitar el pecado del mundo. Viendo el objetivo de lo que había de ser abolido, viendo a Cristo como revelado en la ley, se iluminó el rostro de Moisés. La ministración de la ley, escrita y grabada en piedra, era una ministración de muerte. Sin Cristo, el transgresor era dejado bajo su maldición, sin esperanza de perdón. La ministración no tenía gloria en sí misma, pero el Salvador prometido, revelado en los símbolos y sombras de la ley ceremonial, hacía que la ley moral fuera gloriosa (Mensajes selectos, t. 1, pp. 279, 280). El plan de salvación ha vindicado la justicia y la misericordia de Dios, y durante toda la eternidad la rebelión no se levantará otra vez. La aflicción nunca más se sentirá en el universo de Dios. Al hombre caído le fue revelado el plan de infinito sacrificio por el cual se lograría la salvación. Nada sino la muerte del amado Hijo de Dios podía expiar el pecado del hombre, y Adán se maravilló por la bondad de Dios al proporcionar tal rescate por el pecador. Por el amor de Dios, una estrella de esperanza iluminó el terrible futuro que se extendía delante del transgresor. Mediante el establecimiento de un sistema simbólico de sacrificios y ofrendas, la muerte de Cristo había de estar siempre delante del hombre culpable, para que pudiera comprender mejor la naturaleza del pecado, los resultados de la transgresión y el mérito de la ofrenda divina. Si no hubiese habido pecado, el hombre no hubiera conocido nunca la muerte. Pero en la víctima inocente sacrificada por su propia mano, contemplaba los frutos del pecado: la muerte del Hijo de Dios en su lugar. Veía el carácter inmutable de la ley que ha transgredido, y confesando su pecado, confía en los méritos del "Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo". El plan de salvar a los pecadores solo por medio de Cristo era el mismo en los días de Adán, Noé, Abraham, y en cada generación sucesiva que vivió antes del advenimiento de Cristo, como lo es en nuestros días. Patriarcas, profetas y mártires, desde el justo Abel, esperaban la venida de un Salvador, y mostraban su fe en él mediante sacrificios y ofrendas. El sacrificio de animales era una sombra de la ofrenda sin pecado del amado Hijo de Dios, e indicaba su muerte en la cruz. Pero en la crucifixión, el símbolo se encontró con la realidad, y allí cesó el sistema simbólico (The Bible Echo, 15 de julio, 1893, "The Plan of Salvation the Same in All Ages", párr. 5-7; parcialmente en A fin de conocerle, p. 19).

Cory brings a systems-level perspective that blends science, ethics, and practical solutions. He also does some serious myth-busting about “sustainable” local meat and “regenerative grazing”. Whether you're a climate advocate or curious about food's environmental impact, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew about sustainable eating. Cory is a licensed professional agrologist with over 10 years of experience in natural resource and environmental management. He is a co-author of “Plant-Powered Protein: Nutrition Essentials and Dietary Guidelines for All Ages” along with Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis, where he breaks down the environmental impacts of different protein choices.

Tricia Brennan, Adjunct Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 On Sunday, March 23, our Lead Minister, Rev. Marta Flanagan, will consider what doing hard things can involve and call from us. The Time for All Ages will involve a telling of the story of Jonah. Note that our Lead Minister is retiring in June and this will be her third to last sermon. She preaches again on Easter Sunday, April 20 and on May 18 immediately before our annual congregational meeting. Offering and Giving First For March 2025, the Giving First recipient is the Resilient Sisterhood Project. Cambridge-based Resilient Sisterhood Project's mission is to educate and empower women of African descent regarding common, yet rarely discussed, diseases of the reproductive system that disproportionately affect them. They approach these diseases and associated issues through a cultural and social justice lens since they understand that poor knowledge of reproductive health is primarily related to health, racial, and socioeconomic disparities. RSP brings an expansive definition to and understanding of the word “women” to include transgender women, cisgender women, gender queer, and gender non-conforming people who have a female reproductive system.

About our Lead Minister: Rev. Marta Flanagan began her ministry as our twentieth called minister at First Parish in the fall of 2009. She is a genuine and forthright preacher. In conversation she is direct and engaging. She speaks of prayer with as much ease as she laughs at human foibles. We call her “Marta.” Marta is a religious liberal, a theist, a feminist, and a lover of the woods.

Tricia Brennan, Adjunct Minister, and Sanjay Newton, First Parish Member Prayer by Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan, Lead Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Traditions, says the late poet John O'Donohue, are the memory of a community. Yet, ‘we've always done it this way,' can sometimes be grounding, and sometimes constricting. Join Rev. Stevie Carmody, as he dons his religious studies glasses, to explore how tradition forms and transforms communities, including First Parish Arlington. Offering and Giving First For March 2025, the Giving First recipient is the Resilient Sisterhood Project. Cambridge-based Resilient Sisterhood Project's mission is to educate and empower women of African descent regarding common, yet rarely discussed, diseases of the reproductive system that disproportionately affect them. They approach these diseases and associated issues through a cultural and social justice lens since they understand that poor knowledge of reproductive health is primarily related to health, racial, and socioeconomic disparities. RSP brings an expansive definition to and understanding of the word “women” to include transgender women, cisgender women, gender queer, and gender non-conforming people who have a female reproductive system. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. About our Lead Minister: Rev. Marta Flanagan began her ministry as our twentieth called minister at First Parish in the fall of 2009. She is a genuine and forthright preacher. In conversation she is direct and engaging. She speaks of prayer with as much ease as she laughs at human foibles. We call her “Marta.” Marta is a religious liberal, a theist, a feminist, and a lover of the woods. As a student of American history at Smith College she was captivated by the stories of social reformers who were motivated and sustained by their faith.

Paul Wyld, https://paulwyld.com/ author of Jim Morrison Secret Teacher of the Occult: A Journey to the Other Side joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to discuss how Jim Morrison, lead singer of the legendary rock group, The Doors, can be thought of as someone on the type of spiritual journey that author Manly Palmer Hall references in his influential classic, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Topics covered include Jim Morrison's life and career, his music, his persecution and subsequent prosecution by the US authorities and his tragic later years and somewhat mysterious death. It's a journey that takes us across the world and touches on everything from development of nuclear weapons at Los Alamos to Shakesprear's Hamlet, to MK Ultra, to Jim's struggles with alcohol and his ill-reputed alter ego, Jimbo. We also learn what Jim Morrison can teach us about songwriting, and about what it means to walk the path of one of Hall's Secret Teachers.

We'll discuss the origins and evolution of the guide and why this version will have such a profound impact on creating networks of all ages and abilities cycle facilities throughout the United States. You'll learn how the promotion of vehicular cycling by John Forester, among others, set the United States on a path that deprioritized the development of cycle infrastructure in favor of a "control the lane" philosophy employed by mainly highly skilled, strong, and confident male riders.Thank you so much for tuning in!

The Axis powers of World War II tried to kill the Loch Ness Monster. (The Assassination of the Loch Ness Monster) *** As far back as time is recorded, mankind has had a fascination with Sirius, the Dogstar. But what is so special about it aside from the fact that it's one of the brightest stars in our sky? Might there be an extraterrestrial connection as well? (Why So Serious About Sirius?) *** UFO reports come in constantly to police stations and online sites dedicated to the subject of Ufology – practically on a daily basis. And many sightings are by people you would consider above reproach such as law enforcement, scientists, military, numerous sightings by pilots… but when you head out into space and see a UFO, as is what happens with astronauts' reports, that's something you take a much closer look at. (Code Word: Santa Claus) *** Jimmy Logue left his wife after only two years of marriage. Without first getting divorced, he married another woman – whom he badly mistreated, so she left him. But he had already started an affair with her sister, so he married her next – now on his third wife. He abused her as well. He was also a career criminal – spending half his life living off the spoils of his thievery, the other half behind bars when caught. So it probably comes as no surprise that he was suspect number one when his third wife was found murdered.
