Register for the free classes, Continuing the Walk for Peace: An Inner Peace Toolkit: https://buddhismforeveryone.com/walk-for-peace-toolkit In this episode, we talk about your monkey. The monkey on your back.   You know the one. The brilliant, overachieving, slightly unhinged creature swinging through your mind at 2:00 a.m. reorganizing your life, replaying arguments, drafting emails you will never send.   In an old Buddhist story, a man is given a magical monkey by his spiritual teacher. The magical monkey can do anything. Grant any wish.   At first, it's amazing. The monkey builds him a palace! But then comes the problem. "Now what?" the monkey asks. "What next?" "More! More!"   Day and night, the monkey pesters him. The man can't rest. He can hardly sleep at night.   Finally, he returns to the Buddhist master and begs for his help.  The master gives him a single curly hair and says, "Have the monkey make this straight."   The monkey pulls it straight. It springs back. He pulls it again. It springs back again. The monkey sits down, completely absorbed in concentration. In mindfulness, the monkey becomes peaceful. And the man finally sleeps. That's the secret.   You don't get rid of the monkey mind. You give it something simple and steady to do. Breathe. Be present.   Enter: the breath. When your thoughts are racing, don't argue with them. Don't try to solve your entire existence before lunch. Just gently anchor your attention to one full inhale… and one full exhale.   Feel the air enter your nose. Feel the air in your body as you breathe deeply and slowly. Watch the breath leaving your nostrils.   That's it.   The breath is your curly hair. It keeps bouncing back. There's always another inhalation, another exhalation. Your mind will wander. Of course it will. That's what monkeys do. When you notice, kindly guide it back. No judgment. No spiritual performance review.   Just come home to the present moment.   The present moment is not dramatic. It's not flashy. But it is peaceful. And when you anchor yourself here, even for a few breaths, the monkey in the jungle quiets. You do not have to straighten every curly hair in your life. You just have to come home to the breath. And in that simple returning, again and again, the wild monkey becomes your ally. Your friend. "Don't run back to the past, don't anticipate the future. the future has not arrived;   and any present phenomenon you clearly discern in every case. The unfaltering, the unshakable: having known that, foster it.   Today's the day to keenly work— who knows, tomorrow may bring death! For there is no bargain to be struck with Death and his mighty horde.   One who keenly meditates like this, tireless all night and day: that's who has one fine night— so declares the peaceful sage. —Buddha, One Fine Night Sutra References and Links Buddha.

What makes a city a great place to live? What makes it a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, as should be accorded to someone created in the image of God? What makes a city a place that honors God? What kind of person do you need to be to make a city like that? Proverbs has a great deal to say about that which Dan explores in this sermon. 

497. Ecclesiastes: Ancient Wisdom for a World Losing its Way - Guarding the Threshold // Janice Chiern by The City, Singapore

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice. Grab Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge — link below — and spend some time with a perspective that goes very, very far back. Which is maybe the only way to see very, very far forward.   And if this kind of conversation is what you come here for, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com.  More of this. Less noise. — Marco Ciappelli Co-Founder ITSPmagazine & Studio C60 | Creative Director | Branding & Marketing Advisor | Personal Branding Coach | Journalist | Writer | Podcast: An Analog Brain In A Digital Age ⚠️ Beware: Pigs May Fly |

“Help! What do I do?" We have all been there, and maybe you are there right now. We are bombarded with decisions, some small and forgettable, others that shape our lives, families, and callings. Outside of rare moments when God gives unmistakable direction, how do we make a wise choice? Listen in as we continue through Proverbs and discover that wisdom is not about decoding a secret plan, but about becoming people who trust God more fully and make wise decisions.

496. Ecclesiastes: Ancient Wisdom for a World Losing its Way - The Gift Hidden in the Ordinary // Sng Peh Han by The City, Singapore

John Opsopaus—often known by the name Apollonius—is a scholar, practitioner, and author whose work focuses on Paganism, classical magic, and systems of divination rooted in ancient Greek philosophical and mystical traditions. Opsopaus explores Neoplatonism, theurgy, sacred mathematics, and symbolic ritual practice, examining how ancient magical and divinatory methods were structured as disciplined spiritual sciences. His writings bridge historical scholarship and contemporary practice, presenting Pagan spirituality as an intellectually grounded tradition centered on harmony with cosmic order, ethical self-development, and philosophical understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Focus on what's actually in your terrarium.Beauty and awe are revolutionary acts — Like Aunt Lucy seeing the mountains for the 90th year with fresh wonder, staying open to beauty is a form of resistance.Your one precious life is non-negotiable — No external circumstance gets to diminish your life force or derail your dreams from their rightful place.Coming home to yourself is the work — In a world pulling you in a thousand directions, centering in your deepest knowing is the most radical thing you can do.Who this episode is forThis episode is for creative women entrepreneurs, neurodivergent business owners, spiritual seekers, and heart-centered humans who are tired of surface-level success strategies and ready for deep, transformational soul work that actually honours how you're wired.ResourcesLeonie's Academy — Join for the complete 3-day Dream Quest experience and ongoing creative entrepreneur support2026 My Brilliant Year Goals Workbooks#WomenEntrepreneurs #CreativeBusiness #NeurodivergentEntrepreneur #SoulWork #DreamQuest #IntuitiveBusinessStrategy #FeminineLeadership #SpiritualEntrepreneur #PersonalDevelopment #CreativeWomen

Yom Shabbat Service - 27 Shevat, 5786 / February 14, 2026 Parshat Mishpatim - Judgement Torah: Exodus 18:1 - 20:23 Haftarah: 2 Kings 11:17 -12:17

Words are never neutral. Proverbs tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and we know it is true. Many of us carry the weight of hurtful words and the regret of words we wish we could take back. Words can wound like swords or heal like medicine. They can tear down relationships or build cultures of grace. Listen, as we explore the power of our speech, why our words so often do harm, and how Jesus, the Word made flesh, can transform our hearts so our words bring life.

That little check engine light comes on and we have all been there. Sometimes we check it. Often we ignore it. If the car still runs, we assume everything is fine. Our emotions work the same way. Feelings like anger, fear, envy, joy, grief, and anxiety are God given signals, revealing what is happening under the hood of our hearts. Listen in as Proverbs teaches us what it means to grow in emotional wisdom by clinging to the One who entered our joy and sorrow to make us truly wise.

Many people think I'm a negotiation coach, but I'm really a practitioner of change working at the intersection of ancient Eastern philosophy and modern Western neuroscience.The Science: Quantum physicists like David Bohm and Zen masters in the mountains agree: Everything you think is "solid" (your desk, your body, your obstacles) is actually 99.9999999% empty space. Similarly, neuroscientists like Michael Gazzaniga have found that there is no singular, fixed "I" in your brain. You are a "Society of Mind," an aggregate of different parts negotiating conflicting and inherently empty impulses in real-time. The Philosophy: In Zen, this is encapsulated in a single character: Mu (無). It often gets translated as “empty,” but it can also reference a kind of boundlessness.The Intersection: When you realize matter is mostly space, the "solid" walls in your mind begin to soften. You realize you are not your self-talk, the very thoughts that lie at the root of professional stress. Instead, you are the boundless potential behind the action. What you'll learn in this episode: 02:15 – The Humble, Good News: Why you don't need a PhD or to become a monk to benefit from these fundamental truths04:30 – Your "Society of Mind": How the illusion of being a fixed, singular "I" is dismantled by both modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom. 06:50 – Tyranny of Self-Talk: Getting to the root of all professional stress when external circumstances don't seem to go your way. 07:45 – The Liberation of "Mu": What becomes possible when new perspectives enable new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to circumstance beyond our control. 09:30 – The 3 Stages of Change: A roadmap through Dissolution (of negative self-talk), Mental Rehearsal, and Embodied Brave Action.11:00 – The Fortress of Trust: Why true trust comes from realizing your "self" is not a fragile, solid thing that can be broken.12:15 – Creator & Masterpiece: When tangible results like getting promoted and better paid are the byproduct of accessing a deeper truth of who you really are. To learn more about working with me 1:1, come on over to https://www.jamieleecoach.com/apply Text me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

What does it mean to repair what has been broken, and can there be beauty in that work?In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach is joined by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg for a thoughtful conversation on repentance, accountability, and the demanding work of repair. As part of our ongoing series on beauty, this episode explores repentance not as performance or apology, but as a process of truth-telling, learning, and transformation.Drawing from ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary justice work, Rabbi Danya reflects on how individuals, communities, and institutions can move toward healing after harm—and why art, imagination, and beauty are essential for sustaining the work of justice and hope.Send us a textSupport the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

To fear or not to fear? That is the question Proverbs forces us to wrestle with. Fear usually sounds like something to avoid, yet Scripture insists that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This week, we will see that not all fear is the same. One kind of fear drives us away from God and into hiding. Another kind transforms us, drawing us near, reshaping our lives, and leading us into true wisdom. As we continue in Proverbs, we will discover which fear is shaping us and which fear is the life-giving fountain God promises.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 치유의 기억| When Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Medicine: The Integrative Pediatrician — The One With Dr. Tokunbo Akande | Episode 38 (2025)Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how many of us are holding two things at once: prescription bottles on one hand, herbal teas and mindfulness practices on the other. Somewhere in the middle, a question keeps surfacing for me: what does healing look like when we stop asking it to choose between science and soul?In this episode, I sit with Dr. Tokunbo Akande, a board-certified pediatrician, clinical informaticist, and dual-trained fellow in integrative medicine and Ayurveda. Dr. Akande moves with ease between worlds. He can talk vaccine schedules and electronic health records, and in the same breath speak to doshas, herbs, and the wisdom he grew up with. We talk about how ancient healing traditions can live alongside modern medicine, why stories matter in clinical spaces, and what sustainable wellbeing really looks like when you're navigating burnout, cultural displacement, and the quiet loss of inherited knowledge.Dr. Akande shares his journey, from growing up with childhood asthma in Nigeria to nearly leaving medical school, to rediscovering the herbs that reshaped his relationship with healing during the pandemic, and eventually founding Harmony 360 Health. Along the way, we reflect on what gets lost when medicine forgets the body, and what becomes possible when we learn to listen again.If you're tired of the false choice between East and West, traditional and modern, this conversation offers something gentlerand truer. A reminder that healing isn't something we outsource, and balance isn't passive. It's a practice.At the end of the episode, Tokunbo offers a short guided body scan. It's a small gift; five quiet minutes that might help you come back home to yourself.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson examines one of philosophy's most provocative questions: Was Seneca a hypocrite? Through the lens of Stoic philosophy and Roman history, Marcus explores the dangerous cognitive trap of hypocrisy bias and challenges listeners to examine their own inconsistencies before judging others. Episode Highlights [0:45] The Seneca Question: Was the wealthy Roman philosopher who forced loans on conquered peoples truly living by Stoic principles, or was he a hypocrite? [2:10] Understanding Hypocrisy Bias: How our tendency to judge others' inconsistencies more harshly than our own blinds us to truth and derails meaningful discussions. [6:16] The Marcus Aurelius Paradox: Even the revered philosopher-emperor struggled with anger daily and made questionable decisions like allowing his son Commodus to take power.

Every day we are flooded with decisions, voices, opinions, and advice. We live in a world with a glut of information at our fingertips, yet we often feel uncertain about how to live wisely. What we need is not more data, but wisdom. The book of Proverbs offers God's wisdom for real life, shaping how we speak, work, decide, and love in the everyday moments that matter most. But Proverbs does not ultimately lead us to wise principles. It leads us to a person, Jesus Christ, the true wisdom of God, our redemption and our life. Listen in as we walk through Proverbs and learn how to live wisely in a complicated world!
