Born in 103, he was a philosopher from the Samaritan town of Shechem in Palestine, who had devoted his life to the search for truth, trying many philosophical schools and sources of human wisdom: the Stoics, the Peripatetics, the Pythagoreans and finally the Platonists. One day an old man (whose name and origin are unknown) appeared to him and spoke to him of the Prophets and Apostles who had learned of God not by their own wisdom, but by revelation of God Himself. He read the scriptures and was convinced of the truth of the Faith, but he would not be baptised or call himself a Christian until he had tested all the pagans' arguments against Christianity. To this end he traveled to Rome, where he engaged in debate at philosophical gatherings, impressing all with his wisdom. In Rome he also witnessed the martyrdom of Sts Ptolemy and Lucian; this moved him to write an Apologia for the Christian faith and the Christian people, which he gave to the Emperor Antoninus and the Senate. They were so moved by this document that the Emperor ordered that persecution of Christians should cease.   For the remainder of his life, Justin devoted all his skills to the proclamation of the Gospel and the defense of Christians. To the end of his life, wherever he preached Christ, he always wore his philosopher's garb. In addition to his Apologia, he wrote a number of other learned defenses of the faith.   Eventually he was imprisoned following the false accusations of Crescens, a jealous Cynic philosopher. He died (one source says by beheading, another by poison) in Rome in 167 under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, successor to Antoninus.

Today's daf is sponsored by Sharona Shuster in loving memory of her father, Elliot Shimoff, Eliyahu Chaim ben Harav Ephraim. "He enjoyed his family, learning Torah, and Israel. He was loved by all and a true talmud chacham. His love of learning encouraged me to learn Daf at a later age and I now see his passion. Yehi zichro baruch."  Today's daf is sponsored by Becki Goldstein for a refuah shleima of her grandson Eitan Efraim ben Ayelet. "Tfilot for the success of a long and complicated surgery for Eitan to repair the nervous system from his shoulder to his fingertips from his injury in Gaza. May the operating team be shlichim neamanim B"H." In three separate encounters with either the emperor or a heretic, the question is asked: how could God possibly bring back to life those who have died? In each incident, the Jew offers a different answer. In the third encounter, Geviha ben Pesisa responds. Three additional stories describe when Jews were brought to trial before Alexander of Macedon by other nations. In each case, Geviha argues on behalf of the Jews. The pattern is consistent: the opposing nation uses a verse from the Torah to attack Jewish actions, and Geviha counters with a different verse that refutes their claim. Antoninus raises several questions to Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. Some questions Rabbi Yehuda resolves, while on others, Antoninus convinces him of a different view. The first question concerns how both body and soul can claim exemption from judgment after death, each blaming the other for causing sin. The second asks why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The third explores when the soul enters a person—at conception or during fetal development. The fourth examines when the evil inclination begins to influence a person—during fetal development or at birth. Reish Lakish, Ulla, Rav Chisda, and Rava each present seemingly contradictory verses about life after death, mortality, or resurrection. Each sage then resolves the contradiction he identified. Five additional verses are presented as proof of resurrection from the Torah. Rav Yehuda, citing Rav, teaches that withholding a halakha from a student is equivalent to stealing from their inheritance, since the Torah was given as an inheritance to all Jewish people.

Sharpening the questions asked of the sages by secular figures (of leadership), such as Cleopatra -- who wants to know if the resurrection of the dead will bring people back clothed or naked -- and Antony, who asks about the insertion of the soul into human beings. The sages take the questions seriously, to be be sure, and provide answers that have some measure of logic behind them. Other tidbits include a heretic's sharp questions and a hunchback's quick retorts, and the friendship between Antoninus and Rebbe (Rabbi Yehudah NaNasi).

As an example, the Alter Rebbe mentions Rabbeinu HaKadosh, of whom the Gemara says, “At the time of Rabbeinu HaKadosh's passing, he raised his ten fingers toward Heaven and said, ‘Master of the Universe…I did not derive any benefit even with my small finger.'” Tosafos asks: this appears to contradict the Gemara's statement that Rabbeinu HaKadosh and Antoninus were so wealthy “that radishes and lettuce never ceased from their table”? Tosafos answers that he didn't personally eat them; rather, “there were many eating from his table.” But seemingly, doesn't one derive tremendous enjoyment from the very fact that so many people are eating such luxurious food from his table? But this is the point: Rabbeinu HaKadosh didn't derive enjoyment even from that. We learn from here that even if one does eat luxuries like radish and lettuce, that are unavailable anywhere else in the world – if he doesn't derive enjoyment from them, he is exempt from chibut hakever.2 excerpts from sichah of Purim 5728 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-01-2025 לזכות ר' ארי'ה בן לאה אורית שי' ליום ההולדת שלו ז' טבת - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותולע"נ ר' יעקב ב"ר שמואל ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו ז' טבת. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

In Meditations we read, “My city and country, so far as I am Antoninus, is Rome; but so far as I am a human being, it is the world."The first, by Bruce, from his trip on Thailand and the lessons he learned from the East that would solve many problems in the West.

She was born near Rome to pious parents. Since she was born on a Friday, she was named Paraskeve (Friday in Greek; literally "preparation" or "preparedness" because Friday was the Biblical Day of Preparation for the Sabbath). From early childhood she studied the scriptures, consecrated herself to a monastic life, and brought many to faith in Christ by her example and teaching. During the reign of Antoninus she was arrested because she was a Christian. When ordered to worship the idols, she answered "Let the gods that have not made heaven and the earth perish from off the earth" (Jeremiah 10:11). For this, after severe tortures she was beheaded in 140.

"When the Emperor Diocletian summoned him and threatened him with torture, he offered sacrifice to idols and was, because of this, rewarded by the Emperor with a costly garment. But Marcellinus repented bitterly and began to weep both day and night for his rejection of Christ, even as the Apostle Peter had before him. A synod of bishops was held at that time in Campania, and the Pope dressed himself in sackcloth and sprinkled ashes on his head, and, going before the Synod, confessed his sin and asked them to judge him. The fathers said: 'Let him judge himself.' Then he said: 'I strip myself of the sacerdotal rank of which I am not worthy; and, further, let my body not be buried after my death, but let it be thrown to the dogs.' Having said this, he pronounced a curse on any who should dare to bury him. He then went to the Emperor Diocletian and, casting the precious garment in front of him, confessed his faith in Christ and cursed the idols. The enraged Emperor ordered that he be tortured and killed outside the city, together with three other men: Claudius, Cyrinus and Antoninus. The bodies of these three were buried at once, but the Pope's body lay there for thirty-six days. Then St Peter appeared to Marcellus, the new Pope, and told him to bury Marcellinus' body, saying: 'Whoso humbleth himself shall be exalted.' " (Prologue)

Propaganda imperială lucrează și ea din greu: dacă lucrurile nu sunt perfecte măcar ni se dă impresia că ar fi. Face tot posibilul să lase imperiul pe mâini bune; îi pregătește pe copiii lui pentru conducere, îi avansează în pozițiile corecte, și, în ciuda bolii lui (se știe de gută, dar e posibil să fie vorba și de altceva) duce o guvernare competentă împreună cu fiii săi, Antoninus și Geta.

Ahsoka the Stoic, Ahsoka the RockAhsoka has to be my favorite of all the recent Star Wars movies and shows. Having been an adolescent when the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series was playing on TV, I've grown up with Ahsoka Tano, the wartime padawan of Anakin Skywalker. I'm not surprised by the mixed response to the live-action show, where actress Rosario Dawson plays a grown-up Ahsoka, but I am a bit surprised by some of the complaints fans have expressed. Here are a few that stuck out: “Ahsoka is too stoic”, “Ahsoka is soulless” and “Ahsoka has no emotion”. In other words, “Ashoka should smile more” or something.'To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.' -Marcus AureliusStar Wars fans have seen the other side of Ahsoka Tano when she was a Jedi pupil. Tano was an impulsive, bratty, brash, annoying, overly sensitive, and disrespectful young Jedi. She and Anakin were a perfect fit. Fast forward to the Ahsoka series and she is around 47 years old. Ahsoka has grappled with her choice to leave the Jedi Order, her guilt over its destruction, and the fall of Anakin Skywalker to evil. She watched the Empire rise and fall and Ahsoka even attempted to train Jedi padawans herself, such as Sabine Wren, with little success. Geeky Stoics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Ahsoka has a heaviness about her that is visible to anyone watching the show. At times you wonder, why isn't she blowing her lid right now or reacting in anger to this situation or that? When critics malign Ahsoka's temperament or the acting of Rosario Dawson as being devoid of emotion, what is really being criticized is the character's unwillingness to display what we all know she feels inside. Ahsoka doesn't emote like she used to as a child. Reflection is not repressionStoicism is most commonly criticized for being a cold and callous school of philosophy that encourages the repression of emotion. But it's not true. As writer and contemporary stoic Ryan Holiday put it on The Daily Show with Jordan Klepper, “There's a difference between being angry, and doing something out of anger.” There is an ocean between feeling anger and indignation over the foolishness of another person, and then “hitting Send on the email dressing them down for it.” Ahsoka has learned not to hit Send. I'm reminded of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace when he must negotiate with the junk dealer and slave owner, Watto, in order to get their starship repaired so Queen Amidala can be delivered to Naboo. Their mission is of massive consequence to the galaxy, and failure could mean political chaos in the Republic. Watto, not knowing this (and he wouldn't care either way), has the gall to resist Qui-Gon's “Jedi Mind Trick” and reject Republic currency for the spare parts they need. You know Qui-Gonn is furious. But he does not speak, he just observes Watto and forces out a visibly angry “smile” before walking away from the situation. Jinn could easily kill or subdue Watto and take what is needed. Jedi are not without emotion. Neither are the Stoics of our world, past and present.Stoics were awash in emotion. They had romantic relationships, they had children, and they were politicians confronting fear, suspicion, and doubt in their midst. The most enduring of the Stoics, Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, buried nine children in his lifetime. He buried his wife, Faustina. When his beloved tutor died, it is said that Aurelius sobbed uncontrollably. His stepfather, Antoninus, told the younger Marcus, “Neither philosophy nor empire takes away natural feeling.”Feelings are facts of life. It is a rare and dangerous few who walk this earth without them. Stoics fight not against their emotions, but for an understanding of where their emotions are coming from. They sit with their feelings. They search them for meaning. Ahsoka has learned how to do this, and for people accustomed to reactive behavior and emotive expression, it can be very offputting. If you think something is funny, why aren't you LOLing?! If you think something is sad, why aren't you crying or TELLING the world you're crying on social media? That's how those people think. If you live your life trying to meet their standard of emotive expression, you'll be constantly performing emotion in order to make them feel at ease. Don't do this. The Stoic treats emotion like a cloaked visitor who has knocked on their door. They open the door, greet the visitor, and ask them to reveal their identity before coming inside. Anger is often actually Fear, Disgust can stem from Confusion, and Joy sometimes becomes a lingering Sadness. We call that nostalgia or homesickness. When you learn to answer the door in this way, you're doing what the best Jedi do with their emotions. They are not suppressed, they are examined. When you take the time to examine your feelings, you'll be more like what everyday people call ‘stoic' in your character. Steady. Reliable. Patient. Sturdy. May the Force be with you.

Ladies & Gentlemen, on this Episode of Subconscious Realms / MettaMindcast Swap-Cast we welcome our Extraordinary Co-Host, Sir Robby Marx & the Phenomenal, Sir Gary Wayne for a Deep-Dive into the Sarmatian/Sythian connection. In  AD  175 ,  the  Roman  emperor  Marcus  Aurelius  settled  thousands  of  Sarmatian  cavalry  mercenaries  in  Britain.  Two  centuries  later,  the  Western  Roman  Empire  withdrew  her  troops  from  the  island.  It  seems  that  the  independent ”British  kingdom”  preserved  its  unity  and  coherence  but  soon  after  it  was  struck  by  the  ruthless  Anglo-Saxon  invasion.  The  Sarmatians  were  now  merged  with  the  Celtic  and  Romano-Briton  population,  taking  the  lead  in  checking  the  barbarians.  This  Sarmatian  presence  in  Britain  consists  probably  the  historical  background  of  the  legend  of  king  Arthur  and  his  Knights  of  the  Round  Table. The  Romans  conquered  modern  England  and  Wales  during  the  1st  century  A.D.  The  tribes  of  Caledonia  (Caledonii,  Cornavii/Cornovii,  Venicones  etc.)  which  corresponds  to  the  modern  Scottish  Highlands,  remained  independent.  By  the  4th  century,  her  peoples  had  been  incorporated  into  the  tribal  union  of  the  Picts  (Picti,  Pictae).  Their  name  meant  the  “painted  ones”  in  Latin  because  of  the  ancient  Celtic  custom  of   tattooing  which  they  maintained.  In  fact,  they  called  themselves  Cruthni.  The  Romans  held  Britannia  for  more  than  three  centuries,  but  the  Christianization  and  Latinization  of  its  population  were  confined  only  to  the  cities  and  in  a  few  Southeastern  rural  regions.  The  great  majority  of  the  population  remained  Celtic  in  language  and  in  cults. In  the  late  4th  century  AD,  the  original  Roman  province  of  Britannia  was  split  into  four  provinces:  Caesaresia  Magna,  Caesaresia  Flavia,  Britannia  I  and  Britannia  II.  The  tribes  of  Caledonia  and  Ireland  were  raiding  the  Romano-British  territory  for  centuries. The  Irish  were  crossing  the  Irish  Sea  with  their  light  vessels,  the  Celtic  curraghs.  The  Caledonians-Picts  were  attacking  the  Romano-British  population  by  land  and  sea,  using  the  same  type  of  ships.  Caledonia  and  Britannia  were  separated  by  a  “neutral  zone” (buffer  zone  in  fact)  between  Antoninus'  and  Hadrian's  Walls,  which  is  almost  equivalent  to  the  modern  Scottish  Lowlands. The  Britons  resisted  the  barbaric  invasions,  led  by  a  series  of  inspirational  supreme  leaders  like  Voteporix,  Vortigern  and  especially  the  legendary  Arthur.  Under  their  leadership,  they  crashed  the  Picts  and  the  Irish  overthrowing  the  Irish  colonies  in  Wales  and  Lowland  Scotland,  and  managed  to  check  the  Anglo-Saxons.  In  429,  the  Romano-Britons  crashed  a  horde  of  Saxon & Pict Invaders. genesis6conspiracy.com**Sir Robby Marx - Robert Marx here are handles on socials: Twitter: @MarxRobby insta: robbymarx etsy: RMarxArt https://www.etsy.com/shop/RMarxArt?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=648846220 www.marxmarx.com    / *MettaMindcast* currently available on Anchor.fm, Spotify & Podcast Addict with additional Platforms to follow ** *It all makes sense now.

“Often exhaustion and burnout is not our fault, often it really is our working environments that are making us ill.” Welcome everyone and thanks for tuning in to episode 38 of the It Matters To Me Podcast, a show that celebrates the random through 1-on-1 conversations with people and the passions they pursue. With me today is Dr. Anna Schaffner, writer, coach, and professor of cultural history at the University of Kent. Born in Germany, Anna evolved from a fun, energetic child who wasn't shy about finding trouble into someone who is passionate about helping people transition from a state of exhaustion to a state of vitality in which they can direct their energy to what really matters in their life. Synonymous with burnout, we talk about the history of exhaustion and how it was understood centuries ago as well as the evolution treating it has undergone throughout the ages. We also spend some time discussing how Stoic philosophy has helped her clients reshape the concept of self and its inspiration in writing her latest book, The Art of Self-Improvement: Ten Timeless Truths. Anna's writings and research have appeared in some pretty notable places to include, BBC Radio 4, The Guardian, and Psychology today so I was extremely honored to talk with her. Our conversation really lifted my spirits and I hope it can do the same for you so, let's get to it, here's my talk with Dr. Anna Schaffner Additional Links Anna's Personal Website: https://www.annakschaffner.com/ Anna's Coaching Website: http://www.the-exhaustion-coach.com/ Anna's Twitter: https://twitter.com/AKSchaffner Anna's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-katharina-schaffner-phd-7b2119181/ It Matters To Me (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/adamcasey/ It Matters To Me (Website): https://itmatterstomepodcast.com/ It Matters To Me (Twitter): https://twitter.com/CelebrateRandom David Foster Wallace: https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/ Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html

She was born near Rome to pious parents. Since she was born on a Friday, she was named Paraskeve (Friday in Greek; literally "preparation" or "preparedness" because Friday was the Biblical Day of Preparation for the Sabbath). From early childhood she studied the scriptures, consecrated herself to a monastic life, and brought many to faith in Christ by her example and teaching. During the reign of Antoninus she was arrested because she was a Christian. When ordered to worship the idols, she answered "Let the gods that have not made heaven and the earth perish from off the earth" (Jeremiah 10:11).
