Aí sim! A quimbanda é um culto iniciático - ou deveria ser. Por isso subentende-se não apenas o 1) caráter iniciatório, no sentido da admissão do praticante mediante a uma cerimônia de transferência de poder, conhecimento e responsabilidades, mas subentende-se também 2) a ideia da elaboração do ser, no sentido do iniciado desenvolver seu poder pessoal a partir de uma autorresponsabilização que culmina na revisão de suas posturas nas várias áreas de sua vida. Esse ganho de autonomia integral é o fundamento e o objetivo de qualquer sistema místico ou mágico que tenha esse caráter iniciático. Ora, se o indivíduo foi realmente iniciado, se ele passou por essa transferência de poder, então ele possui responsabilidade para olhar para si de forma crua e visceral e buscar integrar suas sombras e dissolver suas incoerências - internas e externas. Mas é fácil falar, escrever e filosofar, difícil é praticar. Nesse episódio nos debruçamos sobre o caráter psíquico que cada falange de entidades carrega consigo e como esses complexos atravessam e influenciam os iniciados, médiuns e operadores que andam e lidam com essas inteligências cotidianamente. Discutimos sobre as implicações psicológicas da iniciação, e como administrar de forma honesta o poder e o conhecimento que é adquirido ao longo da jornada.

Este episodio 163 de CQ en Frecuencia ha dado un giro inesperado durante su preparación. Mi intención inicial era dedicar una nueva entrega de nuestro "Álbum Sonoro de las Entidades DXCC" a Monte Athos, la singular entidad SV/A. Sin embargo, al comenzar la documentación descubrí algo sorprendente: existe muy poca información disponible en castellano sobre este fascinante enclave y sobre las personas que han mantenido viva su presencia en las bandas de radioafición durante décadas. Por eso, este episodio se transforma en un auténtico monográfico dedicado a una de las entidades más peculiares, misteriosas y especiales de todo el programa DXCC. Así que esta semana, en lugar de coger el pasaporte, vamos a solicitar el Diamonitirion, el permiso especial necesario para acceder al Estado Monástico Autónomo de Monte Athos, un territorio único donde la historia, la espiritualidad y la radioafición se encuentran de una forma difícil de encontrar en cualquier otro lugar del planeta. Comenzaremos descubriendo qué es realmente Monte Athos, por qué constituye una entidad DXCC independiente, cómo nació la actividad radioaficionada en este enclave y quiénes han sido las figuras que marcaron su historia, desde el legendario monje Apollo, SV2ASP/A, hasta las activaciones más recientes que han vuelto a situar a Athos en el centro de atención del mundo DX. Pero este episodio incluye además un documento muy especial. Tras mucho investigar, apenas encontré entrevistas al monje Apollo. Las pocas existentes se encuentran en griego y, en la mayoría de los casos, sin traducción ni subtítulos. Así que decidí hacer algo que, sinceramente, creo que merecía existir. He transcrito, traducido y adaptado una de esas entrevistas para que cualquier radioaficionado de habla hispana pueda descubrir la historia, las reflexiones y la personalidad de quien fue durante décadas la voz de Monte Athos en las bandas. Un trabajo realizado a partir del material original compartido por Polykarpos Papadopoulos, a quien agradezco haber preservado este valioso documento histórico, y cuyo enlace encontraréis en las notas del episodio. Y para cerrar el programa, estrenamos una nueva sección que nos acompañará en algunos episodios a partir de ahora. Nuestro joven compañero Nicolás, EA4BTQ, recientemente seleccionado para participar en el campamento YOTA 2026 en Austria, sale al encuentro de otros radioaficionados con preguntas rápidas, directas y espontáneas para descubrir quiénes son las personas que hay detrás de los indicativos. Todo ello en un episodio dedicado a una entidad DXCC que no se parece a ninguna otra. Porque Monte Athos no es solo una referencia en el log. Es historia viva. Es tradición. Es radioafición. ¡Páme! ¿Nos apoyas para que podamos seguir haciendo este podcast?

Schrijver Philip Dröge reisde voor zijn nieuwe boek De tijdreiziger de wereld over om de mysteries van de tijd te ontrafelen. Hij verbaasde zich over monniken op Athos die de tijd vergaten, en meer nog over Manilla, waar de stipte westerse tijd de slordige ‘katholieke tijdsbeleving' verdreef. ‘Wie de tijd beheerst, beheerst alles en iedereen, zo leert de geschiedenis', aldus Dröge. Dokter Magnus Hirschfeld was met zijn Institut für Sexualwissenschaft een beroemdheid, die door de nazi's werd uitgeschakeld en in ballingschap stierf in Parijs. Hij was de eerste die operaties uitvoerde om mensen fysiek te veranderen. Historicus Alex Bakker beschreef het verhaal van Dora Richter en Gerd Katter, die dokter Hirschfeld in de jaren twintig behandelde. Recensent Manon van der Heijden bespreekt het boek.Furious Minds. The Making of the MAGA New Right. Zo heet het boek van Laura K. Field over de denkclubjes achter Trump. De invloedrijke mannen die het oor hebben van de Amerikaanse president geloven dat de grondwet alleen voor witte Amerikanen geldt, en niet voor burgers van kleur, aldus historicus Bas Kromhout.
Acest dialog amplu cu tineri cercetători ai Ligii Studenților din lași ne poartă în inima Schitului Prodromu și a chiliilor româneşti din Athos, urmărind atât chipul luminat al Părintelui Petroniu, cât și istoria manuscriselor filocalice, a arhivelor salvate și a legăturilor cu Rugul Aprins. Dincolo de date şi nume, monahismul românesc athonit contemporan se dezvăluie ca o țesătură vie de sfinţenie, cultură, jertfă discretă și responsabilitate față de memoria Bisericii.Vizionare plăcută!Pentru Pomelnice și Donații accesați: https://www.chilieathonita.ro/pomelnice-si-donatii/Pentru mai multe articole (texte, traduceri, podcasturi) vedeți https://www.chilieathonita.ro/

Steve reads an abridged version of Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling adventure set in 17th-century France. This version contains many shocking spoilers! Young and hot-headed D'Artagnan leaves his provincial home for Paris with dreams of becoming a Musketeer of the King's Guard. Shortly after arriving, he crosses paths with three legendary musketeers, the noble Athos, the boastful Porthos, and the charming Aramis, and quickly finds himself caught up in their daring exploits. Together, they navigate a world of royal intrigue, deadly duels, secret plots, and courtly rivalries involving the ambitious Cardinal Richelieu and his cunning agents. United by loyalty and the famous motto “All for one, and one for all,” the four companions embark on a series of thrilling missions that test their bravery, friendship, and honor.
Vizita în Anglia a fost pentru părintele Pimen o experiență cuprinzătoare și ostenitoare. În acest material ne povesteşte evenimentele din Anglia: cele zece zile pline, sosirea spre Londra, popasul la mănăstirea Sfântului Sofronie din Essex, Sfânta Liturghie la catedrală cu IPS Atanasie, conferința din Londra cu sute de cărți semnate și pomelnice pentru Athos, plimbarea prin Grădina Botanică și până la Nottingham. Călătoria în Anglia s-a împletit cu întâlniri cu români minunați și mese pregătite cu drag.Vizionare plăcută!Pentru Pomelnice și Donații accesați: https://www.chilieathonita.ro/pomelnice-si-donatii/Pentru mai multe articole (texte, traduceri, podcasturi) vedeți https://www.chilieathonita.ro/
As-tu écouté les premiers épisodes des Trois Mousquetaires ? Dans le premier épisode, nous avons découvert d'Artagnan, un jeune Gascon qui rêve d'être mousquetaire du Roi Louis XIII. Et nous l'avons suivi à Paris, où, il a rencontré Athos, Portos et Aramis, trois mousquetaires au caractère bien trempé ! Dans le deuxième épisode, les quatre amis ont unis leur force pour défendre la Reine face aux complots du Cardinal Richelieu. Et à présent, nous retrouvons nos amis pour une dernière aventure, dans laquelle ils affronteront une menace bien plus terrible encore : la complice du Cardinal, la mystérieuse Milady....

În această sesiune captivantă de întrebări și răspunsuri duhovniceşti, Părintele Teologos abordează frământările pelerinilor contemporani, oferind repere clare pentru o viață creştină echilibrată. Discuția traversează subiecte practice și profunde, de la motivul pentru care fructele de mare sunt de post și folosirea corectă a metanierului, până la dilemele moderne legate de buletinele cu cip, implicarea socială a Bisericii și starea de Rai. Cu mult discernământ, părintele ne aminteşte că, dincolo de regulile formale, esenţa mântuirii noastre constă în dobândirea iubirii și într-un program de rugăciune statornic.

I thought today I would share with you a book by David Bentley Hart. Hart wrote that translation of the New Testament that I'm very much enjoying, because it mirrors the same language that the Gnostic gospel uses in the Nag Hammadi codices, particularly the Tripartite Tractate, which is what I share with you here at Gnostic Insights. David Bentley Hart is extremely eloquent and erudite. His prose puts me to shame. He is a great writer and a brilliant mind. He's an Eastern Orthodox scholar of religion and a philosopher. And the deal is, he does seem to love God. So his philosophy and his theology goes through what seems to me to be a very Gnostic heart and orientation on his part. So I'm reading this book now called, That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation, because I could tell from reading the footnotes in his New Testament that he and I agree on this universal salvation. I seem to be coming at it from a different place than he does. My major reason why everyone and everything that's living now will return to heaven is that everything comes from heaven. So if everything doesn't return to heaven in the end, if most of it, as a matter of fact, was thrown into eternal fires of torment, well, God itself would be lessened. The Father would be less than he was at the beginning, and that's an impossibility, because the Father was, is, and ever shall be the same. He is not diminished by the love and consciousness and life that flows out of him. But if that life, love, and consciousness winds up in a black hole at the bottom of an eternal pit of torment, well, there's so many things wrong with that statement, just absolutely wrong. And that's what David Bentley Hart's book is all about, and he has several ways he's going to explain why that can't be so. The reason I say it can't be so is that all consciousness, life, and love come from the Father. So in the big roll-up, if we accept the proposition that there will be an end to this material existence, which is what all Christians and Jews profess, and if everything that emanated from the Father in the beginning, beginning with the Son, which is the first and only direct emanation, and then everything else emanates through the Son, well, if it doesn't return at the end of material time, then the Father and the ethereal plane would be diminished, because it poured out all of this love and consciousness into this material realm, and it all has to return. The Tripartite Tractate says that everything that existed from the beginning will return at the end of time. In verses 78 and 79 of the Tripartite Tractate, it's speaking about the shadows that emerged from Logos after the Fall, and it says, Therefore their end will be like their beginning, from that which did not exist they are to return once again to the shadows. “Their end will be like their beginning,” in that they didn't come from above—they were shadows of the fallen Logos. And so when the light comes and shines the light, the shadows disappear. Furthermore, in verses 80 and 81, the Tripartite Tractate says, The Logos, being in such unstable conditions, that is, after the Fall, did not continue to bring forth anything like emanations, the things which are in the Pleroma, the glories which exist for the honor of the Father. Rather, he brought forth little weaklings, hindered by the illnesses by which he too was hindered. It was the likeness of the disposition which was a unity, that which was the cause of the things which do not exist from the first. So these shadows didn't exist in the Pleroma; they were shadows, they were imitations of the unity which existed from the first, and that unity is the Fullness of God—the Aeons of the Fullness of God. And it is only these shadows that will be evaporated at the end of time, that will not go to the ethereal plane. All living things will, because we're not shadows of the Fall. We are actually sent down from the unity, from the Fullness of God, with life, consciousness, and love. And so all of that has to return to the Father. So that is where I'm coming from, that God can't be lessened, made less than it was at the beginning. So everything will be redeemed and returned. And of course, practically all of Christianity nowadays believes that most everything that was emanated from the beginning will be destroyed, or put into a fire of torment for all eternity. Anyone who wasn't baptized, or anyone who didn't come forward to profess a belief in Christ—and that's most of the other cultures and people of the world. The conventional Christian church doesn't even realize that animals are going to heaven. I often comfort people whose pet has just passed away, and they're missing them so badly, and they love them so much, and it hurts so much, and I say to them in comfort, “Well, your pet is waiting for you in heaven, and you'll be reunited when you cross over, and then you'll have them again, and you'll all be very happy forever together.” That's my basic approach. franny and zoey sunset As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for my pack—that's who I expect to greet me. I'm not waiting for my dead relatives, or my late husband. I'm not expecting them on the other shore waiting for me, although perhaps they will be. Who I really am looking forward to seeing are my dogs and cats, every dog and cat I've ever had. And I figure they're all up there together as a big pack, playing on the beach. So that's what keeps me comforted, and keeps me looking forward. I'm very happy to imagine that that will be what greets me when I cross over. So this morning, what I'd like to share with you are some of Hart's writing that he shares in his introduction that's called, The Question of an Eternal Hell, Framing the Question. So this is before he even gets into his various apologetics of how it is that everyone will be saved. But I really wanted to share this with you. Hart writes in a very high-minded manner, so I'll attempt to translate it for us all. So on page 16, Hart says, And as I continued to explore the Eastern Communions as an undergraduate, I learned at some point to take comfort from an idea that one finds liberally scattered throughout Eastern Christian contemplative tradition, from late antiquity to the present, and expressed with particular force by such saints of the East as Isaac of Nineveh, who lived between 613 and 700, and Silouan of Athos, who lived between 1866 and 1938. And the idea is this, that the fires of hell are nothing but the glory of God, which must at the last, when God brings about the final restoration of all things, pervade the whole of creation. For although that glory will transfigure the whole cosmos, it will inevitably be experienced as torment by any soul that willfully seals itself against love of God and neighbor. To such a perverse and obstinate nature, the divine light that should enter the soul and transform it from within must seem instead like the flames of an exterior chastisement. That's pretty interesting. He's saying that after the final roll-up, the glory of God, or the light of God, will fill all of space and eternity, and that we will be able to see it and experience it. We will stand before the glory of God. But anyone who is hiding from God, or that is a hateful person, will experience that same glory as flames of fire that torment. And so that will be their punishment. But it's not coming from God. God's bringing glory and love and light. But they, because they are resistant, they will experience it as those flames of hell. So Hart goes on to say, This I found not only comforting, but also extremely plausible at an emotional level. It is easy to believe in that version of hell, after all, if one considers it deeply enough, for the very simple reason that we all already know it to be real in this life, and dwell a good portion of our days confined within its walls. A hardened heart is already its own punishment. The refusal to love, or to be loved, makes the love of others, or even just their presence, a source of suffering and a goad to wrath. And isn't that true? That a hateful person views everything that's going on around them, and anything that someone else says, to be irritating, and worthy of punishment, or worthy of disdain, because it doesn't agree with their own opinion. He goes on to say on page 17, and so perhaps it makes perfect sense to imagine that a will sufficiently intransigent in its selfishness and resentment and violence might be so damaged that, even when fully exposed to the divine glory for which all things were made, it will absolutely hate the invasion of that transfiguring love, and will be able to discover nothing in it but terror and pain. It is the soul, then, and not God, that lights hell's fires, by interpreting the advent of divine love as a violent assault upon the jealous privacy of the self. Now, we've talked about that a lot here on Gnostic Insights, and I cover that in my discussions of Overcoming Death. My argument about Overcoming Death primarily comes from the Tibetan Buddhist book known as the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and in that book it describes this passage after life. And, by the way, it's not only when the whole entire cosmos melts away, it's every time we die. When your body passes away, suddenly you're in that non-material state. Your ego goes forward without the attachment of the body, and in that state of not being attached to the material world, it is like, at the end of time, when the entire cosmos goes through the same process and is no longer attached to the material world. At that point, delusion drops away, the confusion of this cosmos and the confusion of our culture and the demiurgic culture that we are surrounded with, as well as the pulls of the material upon our bodies. It's gone, it's lifted, it's no longer there, and your spirit is able to see with clear eyes. As Paul said in the first letter to Corinthians, chapter 13, For we know partially, and we prophesy partially. But when that which is complete comes, what is partial will be rendered futile. When I was an infant, I spoke like an infant, I thought like an infant, I reckoned like an infant. Having become a man, I did away with infantile things. For as yet we see by way of a mirror, in an enigma, but then we will see face to face. As yet I know partially, but then I shall know fully, just as I am fully known. But now abide faith, hope, and love, these three, and the greatest of these is love. And in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, it talks about these things called bardos, which are levels of hell, basically, or levels of purgatory that people go through as they are learning to get rid of the mistaken notions that they picked up here during the lifetime. The samskara is stripped away. I would call the samskara the confounding memes that we cling to. We pick up these meme bundles from the people and from the things we read and learn and are indoctrinated into in school and then through the media. Those are memes, meme bundles, and they have to be let go of. You have to drop them in order to get past the ego that's holding on to those memes and rediscover the purity of the Father and the Son in the ethereal plane—rediscover the purity of your true Self. And the longer someone holds on to those memes after death, the more difficult is their passage into purity. And that's explained in depth in the Overcoming Death episode. Well, that Tibetan description of the fires of hell very much resemble the fires of hell that were talked about from these ancient saints of the Christian tradition. By the way, this idea that most everyone and everything is going to hell rather than going to heaven, that is a relatively recent addition to Christianity, but it has been grasped so firmly with the great assistance of the Catholic Church and their doctrines that by now most Christians think that most people won't go to heaven. So even the Protestants who protest Catholicism—that's what the word Protestant means, one who protests—they've lost the original thread of universal salvation that Jesus was teaching. The Anointed came to save everyone, it says, over and over in the New Testament. And in Hart's translation, which comes directly from the original writing rather than down through the Latin that had already been filtered by the Catholics, you don't find the eternal torment of hell. Remember, the word Aeon, which we in Gnostic belief generally translate as ethereal beings or part of the Fullness of God above, Aeon is also translated as a period of time, and throughout most of the translations of the New Testament, which derive from the Latin Vulgate, Aeon is translated as a period of time. And so when it says eternal torment, it's really saying aeonic torment. And in my opinion, it's the torment people bring upon themselves when they return to the aeonic realm. The Aeons aren't the punishers. God is not the punisher. It's our own grasping onto our past lives and the demiurgic culture and the demiurgic memes that we hold onto after death that are experienced like burning flames. But no one's imposing it upon us. It's our own lack of willing to give it up and turn and face the light. The eternal fires of hell are actually the aeonic reckoning that comes at the end of each lifetime and will come at the end of time itself when the material cosmos passes away. At least that's what I think. So when Hart says on page 17 there that “a will, a personal will, sufficiently intransigent in its selfishness and resentment and violence,” intransigence means not giving up, stubbornness, “might be so damaged that even when it comes face to face with glory, it will experience it as torment.” Now, for those of us who have accepted the anointing of the Christ and have come to true gnosis, (that is a remembrance that we come from above and will happily return to the above, that's all you need to know), we will not cling onto this material world. We will not be clinging onto those demiurgic memes that keep us from coming face to face with our aeonic parents in the Fullness of God. We will happily cross over. We will joyfully meet with those who are on the other side, be they family, spouses, or pets, because the grasses and the flowers, the butterflies, the birds, everything that is alive down here on earth will be alive in heaven because all life comes from above. We will not be experiencing that chastening fire—that coming to grips with the lies that we've been holding onto. That's the painful part, coming to grips with our own lies and the harms we have done to other people. If we're not repentant of those harms we have done to other people, we will have to come face to face with those harms after we cross over, and we will see from that other person's point of view what we did to them and how much we hurt them, and that will come back to us. We will experience their pain, and that is the pain and suffering of death, but it's not being imposed by the Father or the Son or our aeonic parents above. On page 18, Hart says, Because Christians have been trained at a very deep level of their thinking, to believe that the idea of an eternal hell is a clear and unambiguous element of their faith, and that therefore the idea must make perfect moral sense. They are in error on both counts, as it happens, but a sufficiently thorough conditioning can make an otherwise sound mind perceive even the most ostentatiously absurd proposition to be the very epitome of rational good sense. You know, there's some big words in that sentence, but I think you can tell by the context what they mean, right? Ostentatiously means open, flaunting. Epitome means the highest. So he's saying that because the Church has taught that everyone's going to hell except those very few, which is an ostentatious point of view, you see, ostentatiously absurd proposition, yet they have been taught that it is the very highest of good sense, and you can't go against it. And so people are conditioned not to question it. And what this book, That All Shall Be Saved, is, is a very thorough and deep description and rationale of how that cannot be true, of how everyone must be going to heaven. I covered my version of why everyone's going to heaven in this episode. Further episodes, I think I'll do a series here, further episodes will each cover chapters in Hart's book, and we'll hear what his rationale is for why everyone is going to heaven. But returning to this page 18 again, he says, In fact, where the absurdity proves only slight, the mind that has been trained most thoroughly will, as often as not, fabricate further and more extravagant absurdities in order to secure the initial offense against reason within a more encompassing and intoxicating atmosphere of corroborating nonsense. In other words, you'll have to spin a bunch of nonsensical rationalizations and excuses about why everyone's going to hell, just to make the story float. Quoting again, Sooner or later it will all seem to make sense, simply through ceaseless repetition and restatement and rhetorical reinforcement. As I'm reading this, of course he's talking about religious ideologies here, but I'm seeing these mechanisms at play in media bias. Do you see that? Just through sheer repetition, over and over, it doesn't matter if things are true or lies. If you say it often enough, people will begin to accept it unquestioningly. And you can see that going on in the politics, can't you? Hart goes on to say, The most effective technique for subduing the moral imagination is to teach it to mistake the contradictory for the paradoxical, and thereby to accept incoherence as profundity or moral idiocy as spiritual subtlety. If this can be accomplished with sufficient nuance and delicacy, it can sustain even a very powerful intellect for an entire lifetime. In the end, with sufficient practice, one really can, like the White Queen (of Alice in Wonderland), learn to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. In my limited attempts to discuss Gnosticism face-to-face with people, I discover this continually, that if I present them with the absurdity of everyone going to hell, for example, they will say, Well, it's a mystery. We can't know the mind of God. It's a mystery. Who are you to presume? And this is the way they cover up that it doesn't work, by just shunting it off to God's incomprehensibility. But our God is rational. Our God is logical. Our God doesn't say one thing and do another. Our God doesn't lie. Our God doesn't say it's all about life and living and love and then enslave and slaughter. That is not the God of Gnosticism. The Father that Jesus spoke of is not that God. Going on with page 19, Hart says, Not that I am accusing anyone of consciously or cynically seeking to manipulate the minds of faithful Christians. The conspiracy, so to speak, is an entirely open one, an unpremeditated corporate labor of communal self-deception, requiring us all to do our parts to sustain one another in our collective derangement. I regard the entire process as the unintentional effect of a long tradition of error, one in which a series of bad interpretations of Scripture produced various corruptions of theological reasoning, which were themselves then preserved as immemorial revealed truths and, at last, rendered impregnable to all critique by the indurated mental habits of generations, all despite the logical and conceptual incongruities that this required believers to ignore within their beliefs. He writes with big words. The gist of this entire paragraph was that the church didn't set out to be deceptive. Well, it may have with the Nicene Council when they stripped the Gnosis out, but from about 600 A.D. onward, it's just become such an ingrained thought that by now it's unassailable. By now you can't even question it. But that's what we're doing here at Gnostic Insights. So stay with me for the next few episodes, and we'll go into depth concerning hell, resurrection, salvation, and the ultimate redemption of all living things by the Christ, the Anointed, that will return us all to that paradise above. With love, onward and upward, and God bless us all. This book puts all of this gnosis together in a simplified form. Gnosis is as easy as you want it to be, or as complicated as you desire. This Simple Explanation will guide you through the often confusing terms and turns of gnostic thought and theology. The glossary alone is worth having on your bookshelf.

"Determined to impose the union of the Churches accepted under pressure at the Council of Lyon (1274) to secure Papal support for the Byzantine Empire, Michael VIII Palaeologos sent troops to Mount Athos, the stronghold of Orthodoxy and centre of opposition to his policy, with orders to take sanguinary measures against monks who would not recognize the false union. "When the Emperor's soldiers reached Karyes, the capital of Athos, which was organized as a lavra in those days, they seized the Protos of Athos, who had been an example to all of what a steadfast monk should be. They put him to the sword together with many other fathers there, and in their fury ransacked and fired the Church and monastic buildings, leaving rack and ruin behind them. Emerging from the wild places and thick forests where they had taken refuge, the Orthodox monks buried the holy Martyrs at the entrance to the Church of the Protaton. Through the centuries, generations of monks piously lit the lamp each day above the 'tomb of the Protos'; but it was not until 5 December 1981 that his relics were solemnly taken from the earth, and that a service was held in his honour in the presence of a great crowd." (Synaxarion)
Dr. JP Novin welcomes Dr. Pano Kanelos - who has an extensive background in higher education and is the founding president of the University of Austin, and now a founding partner of the Athos group - to discuss the impact of AI, the future workforce, and the challenges facing higher education.Dr. Kanelos explains the founding of the University of Austin (UATX) and the creation of the AOS group, which supports new institutions with strategic planning and accreditation. He highlights UATX's tuition-free model for its inaugural classes and outlines how the institution is designed to rethink traditional higher-ed structures.The discussion centers on Dr. Kanelos's view that universities are “radically unprepared” for the disruption AI is creating, as traditional knowledge-economy education becomes increasingly obsolete. He argues that the current accreditation system is a major barrier to innovation. As solutions, Dr. Kanelos proposes creating a new global accreditor focused on innovation, reducing the bachelor's degree to three years to lower costs, and emphasizing the value of a liberal arts education—preparing students to “outthink the machines” by strengthening the mind.
Dans le nord de la Grèce, le mont Athos est un haut lieu de la spiritualité orthodoxe. Ce territoire autonome, qui abrite plus de 2 000 moines vivant coupés du monde, est devenu depuis près d'un an un lieu de pèlerinage pour des soldats ukrainiens. Ces séjours leur offrent un peu de répit loin des tranchées. Ils leur permettent aussi d'apaiser leurs traumatismes par la foi et de soigner les blessures invisibles avant de retourner au combat.
Christ's healing of the man with dropsy is a vivid image of the soul swollen with pride and thirsting for self-glory. Drawing on St. Ambrose, the sermon contrasts the Pharisees' obsession with religious prestige against the humility Christ commands—“sit in the lowest place.” The warning is that pride distorts the image of God within us, leaving us spiritually parched, while humility restores us to wholeness and communion with the Holy Spirit. Quoting St. Silouan of Mt. Athos, the message concludes that humility is not social posturing but the true descent into the presence of Christ Himself, where divine knowledge and peace are found.

"Saint Cosmas came from Bulgaria where his devout parents provided him with a good education in Slavonic and Greek. They wanted him to marry but he was drawn by the love of Christ and, unknown to them, made his way to the Holy Mountain of Athos to become a monk at the Bulgarian monastery of Zographou. On the feast of the Annunciation at the Monastery of Vatopedi, he saw a woman among those serving in the Church and in the refectory, and he was grieved at first to observe this breach of the monastic rule, but overjoyed when he realized that it was the Mother of God who had appeared to him in this way. "He was clothed in the holy angelic Habit and, after some time, was ordained priest. One day, as he was praying before the icon of the Mother of God, asking her with tears how to achieve his salvation, he heard a voice saying, 'Let my servant withdraw to the desert outside the monastery.' He was obedient to the will of God and, with the blessing of his Abbot, lived in silence from then on. Some years later, he was found worthy of the grace of discernment of thoughts and of beholding things happening elsewhere, as well as of other spiritual gifts. In the course of many years, he was the spiritual helper of a great number of monks. At the end of his life, Christ appeared to him saying that he would shortly have a great trial to endure from the Devil. Indeed, the prince of demons made his appearance next day with a host of his servants bewailing and bemoaning their inability to annihilate their great enemy Cosmas, who had held them in check for so long and gained possession, by his virtue, of the throne in Heaven that had once been Lucifer's. Taking a heavy stick, the demon beat the Saint so violently that he left him half-dead. As God allowed, Saint Cosmas died in peace two days later, on 22 September 1323. When the fathers came from the monastery to bury him, the wild animals gathered round. They kept silent until the end of the service, but howled unusually loud as his body was covered with earth. Then having paid their respects, they made off into the wilderness. Forty days later, the monks came to take up the body of Saint Cosmas and translate it to the monastery, but it was no longer in the grave. Where it now is God alone knows." (Synaxarion)

Send us a textDescription: An immersive reading of excerpts from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas translated by Lowell Bair with reflection on alternative and complementary care, rosemary and plot devicesWebsite:https://anauscultation.wordpress.comWork:excerpts from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas translated by Lowell Bair“My son, all I have to give you is fifteen ecus, my horse, and the advice you've just heard. Your mother will give you the recipe for an ointment that a Gypsy woman taught her how to make: it miraculously heals any wound that doesn't reach the heart. Make the most of all these gifts, and have a long, happy life.” “At five o'clock the next morning d'Artagnan got up, went to the kitchen, and, among several other ingredients that history has not revealed to us, asked for some wine, olive oil, and rosemary. Then he made an ointment, which he put on his many wounds. He changed the compresses himself and would not allow the doctor to be called in. Thanks to the efficacy of the Gypsy ointment and also, perhaps, to the absence of the doctor, by that evening he was back on his feet, and by the next day he had almost completely recovered.”“[It was] an isolated, sinister-looking little house in the distance. […] the man whom Athos had found with such difficulty lead him into his laboratory, where he had been wiring together the clattering bones of a skeleton. The body was assembled and the head lay on the table. Everything else in the room showed that he was devoted to the study of the natural sciences: there were labeled jars with snakes in them; dried lizards in black wooden frames gleamed like cut emeralds; bundles of fragrant herbs, no doubt endowed with powers unknown to ordinary men, hung from the ceiling.” References:de Macedo LM, Santos ÉMD, Militão L, Tundisi LL, Ataide JA, Souto EB, Mazzola PG.

My guest this week is author of "The Athos Diet" and director of the emergency department at UPMC, Dr. Peter Patitsas. Informed by his Greek Orthodox heritage, he has discovered a method to stay healthy with high energy to meet the daily grind. Dr. Pete visited Greece many times as a youth and lived there after graduating college. He was forever impacted by his journey to Mt. Athos and has spent countless weeks living at monasteries across the globe: a place where time stops and meaning is the highest good. It is no coincidence that within a place of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, there would be found something that can bring a salve to suffering. We discuss the spiritual and physical benefits that the diet governed by the liturgical calendar of the Orthodox Church can give to us.

Does the West need a religious revival? This was the subject of a debate hosted by The Free Press at the Paramount Theater in Austin Texas on February 27th. The debate pitted two religious advocates—Ayan Hirsi Ali and Ross Douthat—against two avowed atheists—Michael Shermer and Adam Carolla—in search of an answer. The scene of current affairs in the West was set by The Free Press as follows:“The West has experienced a rapid erosion of our shared culture. Political polarization, loneliness, depression and addiction have surged, while marriage and birthrates have plummeted. There's a crisis of meaning, and a growing chorus of intellectuals are pointing to secularism as the cause. Studies show that religious service attendance correlates with lower rates of depression, suicide and substance abuse. Religious individuals are also more likely to marry, stay married, and have children. For the first time in U.S. history, church membership among Americans has fallen below 50%. Less than a fifth of Western Europeans attend church regularly. In Sweden, over 75% of young people claim no religion at all. So, is the decline of religion to blame for our social unraveling?
