Today we will have a discussion on a wide variety of topics. First we will lead off with a bit of celebration as TSPC just turned 18 years old over the weekend. We will also check out a song that a listener used AI to make about me and TSPC to celebrate the occasion. It is pretty damn good given how quickly he made it. We will also talk about the fact that Laws of Life – Book Two – Now Build the System for Your Life will be released on Tuesday, June 30th, next week. With another quick update … Continue reading →

Welcome to Episode 337 of Lucretius To day. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most comp lete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. This week we are continuing our series reviewing Cicero's "Academic Questions" from an Epicurean perspective, which gives us an overview of the issues that split Plato's Academy and helps us understand Epicurus' position on the same issues. This week will continue in Section 8 of Book Two. Our text will come fromCicero - Academic Questions - Yonge We'll likely stick with Yonge primarily, but we'll also refer to the Rackham translation here: Cicero On Nature Of Gods Academica Loeb Rackham : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archivehttps://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/5120-episode-337-eataq19-confidence-in-knowledge-and-the-epicurean-attitude-toward-pa/

YA fiction with a young woman's dreams, family secrets, and tough decisions? Sign me up. Listen in and see why Wildflowers might just be exactly what Christian YA needs note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. I loved that Samantha focused on how easy it is to see things as God's will when convenience comes into play. Wildflowers by Samantha Roman The show might not go on for Candy—and maybe not even her relationship with Scott. Just when her band is finally gaining traction, Candy is about to lose her spot. Then a devastating fire destroys the Chancellor Homes building, turning Honeybrook upside down and tearing open wounds she thought had healed. As a buried family secret rises from the ashes, Candy stands at a crossroads: walk away from her music to save the people she loves… or keep chasing the dream that once felt God-given. When an unexpected "wildflower" appears in her path, she begins to wonder if God still blesses broken roads—and whether they still lead to the cross. For fans of Christian YA fiction, faith-based coming-of-age stories, and clean teen romance with a strong spiritual core, Candy's journey in Wildflowers is a heartfelt look at what it means to follow God when everything is falling apart. Dead men tell no tales… or do they? Leslie's past comes roaring back when a thirty-year-old mistake resurfaces, ending her fragile peace. A teenage accident she can't undo collides with a present-day crisis no mother could ignore. And when she meets Chris, a man who brings unexpected light into her dark season, she must choose between protecting him… or risking everything to love again. As mother and daughter face the secrets, sins, and second chances that refuse to stay buried, they'll discover that even in the wreckage, wildflowers still grow. Wildflowers is Book Two in the Honeybrook High series, a small-town Christian young adult saga that began with Butterflies, a novel about grief, hope, and redemption. This second installment deepens Candy and Leslie's story with more family drama, stronger faith themes, and a reminder that God can redeem even the worst mistakes. Christian YA novel with dual POV (teen daughter and mom) Clean teen fiction Perfect for readers who love small-town Christian fiction Explores grief, forgiveness, family secrets, and second chances Ideal for Christian teens, moms, youth groups, and book clubs If you enjoy emotional Christian YA series with real-life struggles and hopeful, faith-filled endings, you'll love returning to Honeybrook in Wildflowers.

The Fathers bring us to a place where the soul is stripped of every illusion about itself. We imagine that we see clearly. We imagine that we understand others. We imagine that our words are necessary. And they tell us plainly. Be silent. A brother burns with the thought that he must speak, must reveal, must correct. Yet the Elder cuts through this urgency without hesitation. Say nothing. The Lord will take care of it. This is not indifference. This is faith. We speak because we do not trust God. We intervene because we believe that without us truth will not prevail. Beneath much of what we call zeal lies anxiety for ourselves and a hidden desire to justify our own heart. The Fathers do not negotiate with this. Silence is safer than righteousness mixed with passion. And if a brother has been exposed, even unjustly, how is he to respond? Not with self defense. Not with resentment. Not even with a demand for justice. He is to believe that the one who spoke did so for his good. This is a word that wounds the heart. To receive accusation as love. To give thanks for what humbles. To increase in love for the one who has caused pain. This is not psychology. This is the Cross. The one who lives in this way makes swift progress because he has stepped outside the logic of the world. He no longer defends an identity. He entrusts himself entirely to God. And so correction itself is transformed. The Fathers do not permit harshness born of agitation. If the heart is disturbed, the mouth must remain closed. Words spoken in turmoil do not heal. They infect. One must wait. Wait until the heart becomes still. Wait until peace returns. Then speak quietly, as if into the ear of the brother. Even here there is no formula. One must discern the soul before him. One must become small. One must abandon the authority that comes from position and take on the authority that comes from humility. And even then, correction may not be received. It does not matter. One has done what is given. God will do what remains. The Fathers expose something deeper still. Even acts of humility can be poisoned. A prostration can be filled with vainglory. Silence can conceal indifference. Authority can corrupt the mind without being noticed. Pride, the sense of power, and vainglory move quietly within everything. If these are not despised, nothing bears fruit. So the soul stands in a narrow place. Do not speak out of passion. Do not remain silent out of negligence. Do not correct to justify yourself. Do not humble yourself to be seen. There is no resting place here. Only vigilance. Only repentance. Only the slow purification of the heart. And then the Fathers place before us a final blow to our presumption. A monk is seen with a woman. He is judged. He is condemned. He is beaten. Even a saint is deceived. The Patriarch believes he is acting with zeal. The accusers believe they are protecting righteousness. All are certain. All are wrong. The truth is hidden. The monk bears wounds without protest. His life is pure. His intention is love. He carries a soul toward Christ while others condemn him in the name of Christ. This is the blindness of the fallen mind. We see appearances. We draw conclusions. We act with confidence. And we wound the righteous. Only when God Himself reveals the truth does the illusion collapse. And what is revealed is terrifying in its simplicity. There are servants of God hidden everywhere. Unknown. Misunderstood. Condemned. And we pass judgment on them with ease. The monk refuses even the gift offered to him. If a monk has faith, he has no need of money. If he loves money, he has lost faith. His freedom exposes everyone. His silence judges without speaking. His life reveals that the Kingdom of God is not what we imagine. The Fathers leave us with nothing to hold onto except this. Guard your tongue. Distrust your judgment. Humble yourself in all things. And entrust everything to God. Because the moment we believe that we see clearly, we have already fallen into darkness. And the moment we cease to defend ourselves and others before God, something begins to open.A way of seeing that is not our own. A love that does not accuse. A silence in which God Himself speaks. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:22:28 jonathan: 1 John 5:16-17 If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly. 00:27:25 Julie: Good book Searching for and maintaining peace by Father Jacques Philippe 00:28:50 jonathan: Yes it was Paul, he mentioned it in both 1 Timothy 1:19–20 and 1 Corinthians 5:5 00:34:46 Forrest: The Greek word here is not usually one for "Sin". It is more like making mistakes, as far as I read it. 00:42:13 Erick Chastain: Elder Aimilianos says that for some characters to be gentle with them is to make them a demon. 00:56:26 Joan Chakonas: Interesting that there are very few situations when in the course of my lay life I am called upon to make correction of another. I hope that if such a need arises I find a way to do it- with Gods guidance-because I sort of approach my duty to God like my job here on earth and I have to make it happen. I imagine the need for correction arises out of a need to avoid harm to a third party. 01:00:00 Kevin Burke: I wrote down that we started volume 2 on 11/27/23 01:14:18 Julie: It reminds me of the story of the monk that was an alcoholic and died. 01:16:31 Joan Chakonas: My takeaway was how easy it is to make a wildly wrong judgment . 01:18:46 Lorraine: Thank you 01:18:49 Rebecca Thérèse: Thank you☺️ 01:18:55 Andrew Adams: Thanks be to God! Thank you, Father! 01:18:58 Joan Chakonas: Thanks Father! 01:19:01 Kevin Burke: Thank You Father! 01:19:06 Jessica McHale: Thank you! Many prayers!!!!! 01:19:16 jonathan: Thanks Father, God bless❤️ 01:19:29 Caroline: Thank you ♥️

We want to help. We want to fix. We want to speak the right word at the right time and be the instrument of someone's healing. And hidden beneath all of it, almost always, is something far less pure. We do not trust that God can work without us. ⸻ The Fathers cut through this illusion without mercy, but not without compassion. A man begins to speak and sees that his heart is stirred by vainglory. Not always in the moment. Sometimes afterward. The sweetness comes later. The memory of being useful. Of being seen. Of being right. So he asks the obvious question. Should I remain silent? The Elder refuses the simplicity of that escape. Silence is not purity if it is chosen to protect one's image. Speech is not corruption if it is offered in obedience. The issue is not whether you speak or remain silent. The issue is whether you are willing to be exposed. If a word must be spoken for the sake of another, then speak it. But do not pretend you are clean. Do not wait until your heart is free of vainglory. It will not be. Speak, and then stand before God and accuse yourself. “I spoke with vainglory.” This is the path. Not control. Not perfection. But truth. ⸻ We prefer another way. We want to purify our motives before acting. We want to feel clean before we speak. We want to be certain that what we say is necessary, righteous, even indispensable. This is fantasy. It is a refined form of pride. ⸻ The Fathers show us something far more severe. There are times when speaking is required. There are times when silence is required. And we are rarely capable of discerning which is which on our own. So we are placed under obedience. When something disturbs us, we assume it must be addressed. We feel the agitation in the heart and call it discernment. We speak to relieve ourselves and call it charity. The Elder names it plainly. If you speak to quiet your own heart, you have already fallen. This is devastating. Because it exposes how much of what we call concern is nothing more than self-protection. We do not want the discomfort. We do not want the tension. We do not want to suffer the presence of what is unresolved. So we speak. Not to heal. But to escape. ⸻ And when others are disturbed, we cloak ourselves even more skillfully. “I am speaking for them.” The Fathers do not deny that responsibility exists. But they strip it of illusion. You are not the healer. You are not the judge. You are not the one who must set things right. Bring it to the Abba. Submit it. Be freed from the illusion that everything depends on your intervention. This is where our resistance intensifies. Because submission feels like passivity. And passivity feels like failure. But what we are being asked to surrender is not action. It is control. ⸻ There is also fear. “If I speak, he will hate me.” The Elder calls this thought what it is. Evil. Not because the fear is imaginary, but because it shifts the center away from God to human reaction. It makes peace, reputation, and emotional safety the measure of truth. The image is stark. A sick man resents the physician. But the physician does not stop the treatment. If you are to act, act in God. Not to be liked. Not to be justified. Not to be safe. ⸻ And then the final blow. What if you see clearly that your desire to speak is poisoned? That you want to accuse, to expose, to correct in a way that elevates yourself? Then do not pretend. Do not remain silent in false righteousness. Do not speak in hidden judgment. Confess your sickness. Go to the Abba and say, “I want to accuse. I cannot purify my heart.” Now something real can begin. Not only the healing of your brother. But your own. ⸻ This is the truth we resist. God is not waiting for our perfect words. He is not dependent upon our interventions. He is not hindered by our silence. But He will not heal the heart that refuses to be seen as it is. ⸻ We want to be useful. The Fathers want us to be honest. Because only the honest man can be entrusted with speech. And only the one who has relinquished control can remain silent without bitterness. ⸻ In the end, the question is not this: Should I speak or remain silent? The question is this: Am I willing to let God work without securing a place for myself in the outcome? Until that is answered, both our silence and our speech will remain infected. And yet, even this is not the end. Speak when you must. Remain silent when you must. And in both, stand before God and say the only true word: “I am not pure. Have mercy.” --- Text of chat during the group: 00:02:58 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 373 Volume II number 4 00:07:46 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 373, # 4, top paragraph 00:09:54 Fr.
