Cosmic LOVE with Dr Christopher Rudy The Aquarian Golden Crystal Age, Quantum Healing History, and the Cult of Victimhood Dr. Christopher Rudy opens Cosmic LOVE with an AI-assisted love song, then walks listeners through his newsletters on the Aquarian Golden Crystal Age, his decades pioneering quantum frequency healing, and a pointed reading of what he calls the modern cult of victimhood. Opening With The Cosmic LOVE Song Christopher Rudy opens the broadcast greeting listeners across what he says are sixty-three nations, wishing new listeners welcome to his update on fast-changing world news. Before diving into the day's material he plays the second of four versions of a song called Cosmic LOVE, created with BBS Radio co-producer Donald Newsome, calling it a keynote frequency for the hour. Coming out of the music, he jokes that it is a hard act to follow. He previews three newsletters written since the last broadcast: a Reality Report following the August 27-28 full moon lunar eclipse about facing fearless faith versus faithless fear, an article on Higher Education in the AI Quantum Age published September 1st, and a newsletter published the same day as the show, The Aquarian Golden Crystal Age. He describes each piece as a cosmic love sandwich, sourdough truth with light and love on the ends and strong meat of straight talk in the middle. Reading The Cosmic Weather Before unpacking that day's newsletter, Rudy delivers what he calls his cosmic weather report. He describes the sun in Virgo sextile the moon in Cancer, forming a yod or finger of God pointing to Pluto in Aquarius, while Venus in Libra anchors a second yod blending Neptune in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini. He reads this as a concentration of transformational fire meant to purify collective consciousness the way heat separates slag from gold. Rudy frames the moment as part of a larger metamorphosis: civilization as a caterpillar dissolving inside a cocoon, its old order breaking down while a butterfly consciousness has not yet fully formed. He connects this to what he calls the Genesis Project, an AI research effort he says could compress five hundred years of innovation into twenty, and to Alvin Toffler's idea of future shock, warning that many people are shutting down under the pace of change. A Personal History In Quantum Healing Rudy turns to The Aquarian Golden Crystal Age, built around the idea of matriculating, or nurturing, the matrix of matter. He traces his own involvement with crystal-based technology back sixty-one years to a crystal radio kit he soldered from an Allied Electronics set, then to building and selling custom computers with silicon chips. He recalls that in 1991 he sold five $33,000 custom computer systems that mapped what he calls the first periodic table of quantum biology, using a biofeedback interface tuned to frequencies from 5,500 vitamins, minerals, aminos and other nutrition factors. He presents this as pioneering quantum frequency healing, alongside the work of Royal Raymond Rife, and argues that homeopathy, astrology and acupuncture all rest on the same quantum principles honored for millennia in India and China. He says this practical quantum healing has faced long suppression from what he calls monopolized, pharmaceutical-focused medicine. Principles Of Light Language And LOVE Rudy walks through what he presents as four first principles behind a coming power shift from the Piscean to the Aquarian age, tied to a chart he has published online alongside material on what he calls the prime directive. He describes a progression from the law of the one, through the two-in-one logos symbolized by a Celtic cross, to a creative three-in-one synergy, and finally an integrated four-in-one he calls the lovemakers. He compresses these into the letters L, O, V and E: pure intention, focused attention, love retention and conscious ascension through integrated sensory perception. Quoting Nelson Mandela's line that choices should reflect hopes rather than fears, Rudy urges listeners toward what he calls selective judgment. He frames the whole sequence as cosmic law for the Aquarian era, meant to help people move from what he calls victim dictum toward constructive engagement with the future. The Modern Cult Of Victimhood Shifting to harder material, Rudy reads from an article he titles The Modern Cult of Victimhood, crediting Robert and Jill Malone. The excerpt argues that while female unhappiness and mental illness dominate public discussion, men die by suicide at nearly four times the female rate, and that 1.17 billion people worldwide are estimated to live with a mental disorder. The Malones conclude, in Rudy's reading, that the answer is not more pharmaceutical treatment but more life, family, marriage and community responsibility. Rudy adds his own diagnosis, calling the healthcare system a medical-industrial complex that is sick and creating sickness, and offers what he calls a TLC reset built on telecommunication, telecare and telecommerce. He links this to a project he calls Heartware, which he describes as the next stage after hardware, software and Netware, and closes the segment with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's line about harnessing love as humanity's second discovery of fire. Precession Power And A Closing Blessing Rudy closes with a wide-lens look at the 25,920-year precession of the equinoxes, crediting the Greek astronomer Hipparchus with first describing it and noting that Earth's solar system has been crossing the galactic plane over roughly the last hundred years, a period he says has moved humanity from horse and buggy to the space age. He argues this light also exposes darkness, invoking the four horsemen of the apocalypse to describe war, plague and death he attributes to military and medical industrial complexes, including claims about vaccine harm and a quoted nurse who says COVID patients were killed by remdesivir and ventilators rather than the virus, a claim listeners should weigh carefully. Quoting Thomas Jefferson on enlightenment dispelling tyranny, he says humanity now holds all knowledge an AI prompt away. He ends by telling listeners to keep faith, see the good, dance like no one is watching, and love like they have never been hurt.
In this episode, Dr. Oord re-engages with the new book from Michael Rose entitled, Made By Love, For Love: Reimagining God, Power, and Faith in Light of Relentless Love.Made by Love, for Love invites readers to reimagine Christianity—not as a drama of sin and obligatory appeasing sacrifice, but as a cosmic love story still unfolding.Drawing from the evolutionary vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and the Open and Relational theology of Thomas Jay Oord, this book reveals a God whose very nature is Love—noncoercive, relational, persistent, and ripe with creative potential.
What does it mean to live faithfully in an unfinished universe - one in which creation is still evolving and Christ is still drawing all things toward communion?In today's episode, Matt sits down with Dr. Ilia Delio, Franciscan sister, theologian, Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University, founder of the Center for Christogenesis, and author of more than twenty books, including "The Christian Mutation".Drawing from the work of Bonaventure, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Carl Jung, and modern physics, Dr. Delio explores what Christianity might look like if we took evolution, science, and the deeply relational nature of the universe seriously.Together, Matt and Dr. Delio discuss moving from original sin toward original love, why relationship may be at the very foundation of reality, and what it means to understand sin as a resistance to relationship. They also explore the decline of institutional religion, the questions younger generations are asking, artificial intelligence, the problem of evil, and whether Christianity itself must continue to evolve.At the center of the conversation is a provocative possibility: What if love isn't simply something we feel or something Christianity teaches, but something woven into the very fabric of existence? And if the universe is still becoming, what would it mean for the church to become with it?In this episode:- Teilhard de Chardin and the relationship between science and faith- Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and two ways of understanding Christianity- Original sin versus original love- Physics, interconnectedness, and the relational nature of reality- Sin as a resistance to relationship- Why younger generations are leaving institutional religion- Whether Christianity is answering questions people are no longer asking- Artificial intelligence and the future of humanity- Love, evil, and human transformation- What the church might become if it took evolution seriously- Whether love can endure even if the universe itself eventually diesLearn more about Dr. Ilia Delio: https://wisrinstitute.org/about/ilia-delio/

Send us a text by clicking this link!A book so controversial the author half jokes he may have to “press publish” live just to see how long it survives. We're joined again by Father James Mawdsley to talk about Know Thy Enemy, the personal cost of writing it, and why certain questions Catholics were told to stop asking keep forcing their way back into view.We dig into how propaganda and education build the “frame” that decides what you're allowed to notice. That takes us from post war narratives and Vatican era assumptions to today's arguments about interfaith language, “Abrahamic” messaging, and what the Gospel actually says about spiritual fatherhood and spiritual adoption. Along the way, we connect the dots between ideas that sound religious and ideas that quietly replace religion.From there we get into the culture side: Teilhard de Chardin, Fulton Sheen, and the lure of progress talk that treats borders, traditions, and inherited identity as problems to be dissolved. We also discuss evolution in Catholic schools as a faith breaking domino, and why a purely political “universal brotherhood” cannot do the job of the New Covenant.The back half turns practical and personal: what to do when online accusations become a distraction campaign, how to stay charitable without going soft on truth, and why Father's advice on mental health is blunt. He argues that regular confession, prayer, and real community often do more than therapy culture and pharmaceuticals for people trying to rebuild a stable interior life.If you want more long form Catholic conversation on Vatican II debates, interfaith dialogue, propaganda, national sovereignty, Catholic anthropology, and confession as therapy, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss
We are living in a moment in history marked by profound distraction. We look around at the anxieties of our world, the friction between communities, and the heavy weariness carried on so many faces, and we must ask ourselves: How did we get here?We have forgotten something fundamental. As human beings, we have become so entirely consumed and tied to the physical dimension of our days. The daily grind, the worldly measures of status, the necessary cycles of survival have caused us to forget who we actually are. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the famous priest and philosopher, captured the reality that scripture repeats from Genesis to Revelation: We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.What will it take to bring us back to our right minds? We will explore that here, today.God bless,Rev LeonRomans 12:1-8

Rom, 7. August 1814: In der Gesù-Kirche stellt Papst Pius VII. die Gesellschaft Jesu wieder her — einundvierzig Jahre nach ihrer Auflösung. Aber der Orden, der neu beginnt, steht vor einer völlig veränderten Welt.In der dritten und letzten Folge sprechen wir mit Dr. Fernando Amado Aymoré über den langen Weg in die Gegenwart: die Jesuitenfeindschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts und Bismarcks Kulturkampf, die Jesuiten als Naturwissenschaftler und Astronomen, das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil und Pedro Arrupe, die umstrittene Befreiungstheologie und das Massaker von San Salvador, die ikonische Szene zwischen Johannes Paul II. und Ernesto Cardenal in Managua — und schließlich 2013: Mit Jorge Mario Bergoglio wird zum ersten Mal ein Jesuit Papst.Begegnung oder Zerstörung, reale Institution oder Phantom — die Fäden aus drei Folgen laufen hier zusammen.
If there is still light outside your window, that light is coming from a being. This episode asks a question we usually skip: not what it is like for us to evolve in third density, but what it is like to evolve as a Solar Logos. The lifetime under discussion is the sun's lifetime — and we are inside it. Part two of a conversation begun two weeks earlier, opening with a short recap and then moving into new territory: vertical concrescence, the Logos as a person with biases, and the difference between an inter-personal and an intra-personal relationship with God. The back half is open discussion, including sustained disagreement from two members that goes unresolved on purpose. Topics Opening attunement — three breaths, and the recognition that the light we receive is also light we give back. The many become one and are increased by one — Whitehead's definition of concrescence. Two hydrogens and an oxygen. Two prokaryotes becoming one eukaryotic cell. Why the pattern cannot be confined to the horizontal. Larger does not mean more advanced — the assumption that the sun must be a completed being, further along than we are, and why that may be a paradigm we import rather than something the Ra material teaches. Transcendent in the sense that Troy is transcendent in relation to his own cells. Two logjams and a horseshoe — the pre-veil stalemate (Ra's divinely happy entities; why study when you can enjoy recess), the innovation of the veil, and whether the far side of that arc brings us back around to a logjam of a different kind. What the sun cannot do — 54.17 on catalyst through the first triad only, and the question it raises: is the Solar Logos free not to love? A Person with biases — session 90 on the bias toward kindness. Kindness from kin. Family ties and bonds. The bipedal form and the opposable thumb as deliberate intensifications of the veil. Beauty, per Whitehead — the most diversity that can be packed into a moment of unity without the unity breaking. Intra-personal, not inter-personal — Terra as one person (Ra's planetary entity, Teilhard's noosphere, the Jewish Adam Kadmon), the Solar Logos as another, and why the relationship between them is a being coming face to face with itself rather than two entities meeting. Venus, Maldek, Mars — harmony at one pole, self-destruction at the other, and the guardianship in the middle where the oneing begins. Then Earth, and a Solar Logos eventually experiencing what is otherwise impossible for it: death. The discussion Two members pushed back, and the disagreement is the second half of the episode. On free will at the Logoic level — whether the sub-Logoi possess complete freedom of choice in structuring their creations, and whether 54.17 is better read as describing early third density, before an entity becomes conscious of the incarnational process and begins choosing its own catalyst. On whether a Logos can be personal at all — the case that a sub-Logos is a class of being beyond personal form, which creates and then experiences through its creation rather than entering it. On this reading, Jesus emptied himself and the Logos experienced third-density Earth in the first person through him, without acting through him. The acorn response — containing all the octaves is not the same as having them activated. Every being is under process, because process is the nature of the development of love. On the archetypes — why some Logoi apparently lack Experience or Transformation altogether, and whether Solar Logoi choose their archetypal system or inherit the most articulated version discovered so far and refine it. Ra's own phrasing at 81.33: the sub-Logoi have been refining the discoveries of earlier sub-Logoi. The AI parallel — builders who construct an architecture, watch it think on its own, and then study what it did in order to find structure they neither knew about nor put there. Teilhard at the Omega Point, and AI as the human collective brain becoming a physical thing. The surprise of creation: put the third element in, and something arrives that no one predicted. Deism, or the dance — the Creator who sets the stage and observes, versus the Creator radically participating in its own creativity. Both readings are on the table. Neither gets forced. Midrash — why multiple interpretations are the point, and not a problem to be solved. Ra citations referenced 54.17 · 81.33 · session 90 (bias toward kindness; bipedal form and opposable thumb) · 78.22 A tilde (~) before "Ra says" marks a paraphrase rather than a direct quotation. Also mentioned Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality — concrescence, and beauty as maximal diversity within unity Pierre Teilhard de Chardin — the noosphere and the Omega Point Richard Rohr Adam Kadmon in the Jewish mystical tradition Midrash as interpretive practice About Building 4th is a contemplative community that meets Tuesday nights. Ra Contact Night is a recurring format. Doug Scott is a psychospiritual therapist and pastoral minister, the founder of Building 4th, and the author of Raian Process Metaphysics: A Cosmic Christology for Our Times — available as a free download at cosmicchrist.net.
What if aging is not a process of inevitable decline, but a lifelong invitation to transformation?Inspired by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's Seven Stages of Suffering, the ancient wisdoms of Kabbalah, and the SPIES model of well-centered fitness, Dr. Jeff Armstrong introduces The Seven Stages of Aging Well. Rather than viewing the challenges of aging as obstacles to overcome, this episode explores how they become catalysts for Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social growth.Each stage—from Outer Resistance to Collective Spiritual Growth—reveals how the realities of aging can shape resilience, Purpose, wisdom, and ultimately a life of deeper meaning. The conversation offers a hopeful vision of aging as ascension: an ongoing process of becoming more fully who we are created to be while contributing to the flourishing of others.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

A hundred years ago, the Jesuit philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin imagined a third great leap for the Earth: after the geosphere and the biosphere, a noosphere — a layer of human connection that would link every mind on the planet and push us toward shared knowledge and compassion. Joe Trippi argues that we've now built it. But it didn't arrive in temples or parliaments; it came through platforms, code, and the satellites encircling the planet — and what was meant to bring us together is instead being used to digitize, monetize, and weaponize us. Teilhard, Trippi notes, saw the dark possibility coming. He just never accounted for algorithms, deepfakes, or billionaires with rocket fleets.Trippi likens current social media to B.F. Skinner's box: the likes, notifications, and endless scroll that keep us pressing the lever for the next dopamine hit — an experiment now being run on billions of minds at once, with AI as the next iteration. Trippi's claim is that this isn't a side effect; it's the design. And it explains, he says, why the ambitions of tech moguls and aspiring autocrats have started to converge — why he calls this "the hour of the predator," with the rest of us cast as the rats.So who is the experiment really for, and how much have we already surrendered? Trippi's answer is a call to climb out of the box — to stop feeding the machine that divides us and reclaim the noosphere as a space for freedom and dignity rather than control. Whether that's still possible is the question he hands the audience."Rise up. Stand together. Revolt. Be human." Heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who “reinvented campaigning,” Joe Trippi pioneered bringing politics into the digital age and brings an added digital component to the Lincoln Project arsenal.For decades he and the Lincoln Project co-founders worked against each other in partisan fights. Trippi has worked for Democrats at every level over 4 decades – from Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale and managing Howard Dean's groundbreaking presidential campaign in 2004. Trippi has been a media and campaign strategist for dozens of Senate and Gubernatorial campaigns including Jerry Brown's 2010 comeback campaign for Governor of California and Doug Jones' historic Senate victory in Alabama, where Jones became the first Democratic US Senator in Alabama in 25 years.Trippi has served as an on-air political analyst for MSNBC/NBC, CBS Evening News, FOX News and CNN. His weekly podcast is “That Trippi Show”.He joined the Lincoln Project because “we have to stop seeing this as Democrat vs. Republican. Right vs left. This has to be all of us coming together in a pro-democracy coalition to defeat an authoritarian movement that is using every means to seize power.”He is also co-founder of Sez.Us, a social networking platform that seeks to improve society by promoting civic and democratic values.

For years, The Aging Well Podcast has emphasized six evidence-based pillars of healthy aging: exercise and physical activity, maintaining a healthy body composition, a healthy diet, not smoking, sleep hygiene, and social connectedness. Together, these behaviors are strongly associated with longer life, reduced disease risk, and improved quality of life.But is there a missing pillar?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore the case for adding Purpose as a seventh pillar of aging well. Drawing upon the SPIES Model of well-centered fitness, the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Abraham Maslow's later theories of self-transcendence, and Scott Barry Kaufman's book Transcend, they examine whether healthy aging is about more than preserving function and avoiding disease.The conversation explores aging as a process of transformation rather than decline, the role of Purpose in physical and psychological health, the possibility of lifelong growth in consciousness, and the idea that human flourishing may involve moving toward an ever-receding horizon of wholeness. Together, Jeff and Corbin consider whether Purpose is not merely an outcome of aging well, but an essential ingredient in the process itself.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Der Forscher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) diagnostizierte vor mehr als 85 Jahren: „Von einer unerklärlichen Ganzheitsbewegung getragen, fühlen sich heute Menschen gegensätzlichster Erziehung und unterschiedlichsten Glaubens einander nahe, geeinigt in einer gemeinsamen Leidenschaft für diese doppelte Wahrheit, dass sie im Begriff sind, sich zu vereinigen, und dass sie die lebenden und tätigen Zellen der Menschheit sind.“ Können wir dies aus unserer heutigen Sicht bestätigen?

The book's first half explains AI's rise and risks; the second argues, via Teilhard de Chardin-style "complexification," that evolution is driving Earth toward a unified planetary consciousness, or "noosphere," with AI as the catalyst. Wright frames this as requiring expanded cognitive empathy and coordinated global governance to avoid catastrophe. Jerry and Stably examined the book's undercurrents of Buddhism, nonzero-sum game theory, and cosmic purpose, questioned whether Wright's proposed top-down steering contradicts his own bottom-up instincts, and debated whether moral progress or natural selection will ultimately determine humanity's fate. They also touched on Thomas Metzinger's theory of consciousness as a useful counterpoint.

Last Q&A of The Future of Religion. And on the way out, Ilia did the thing the class had been quietly building toward — she said out loud that Teilhard never called Christ the savior, that we are not saved by one particular person but by making an option for the whole, and that the actual move the future of religion asks of us is to take Paul more literally than the Catholic Church does. You are the Christ. You are baptized into the Christ. You share the mind of Christ. You are nourished at the table of the Christ. You are called to be the Christ. The students fed us our best questions of the series — love as anti-entropic cosmological force (not metaphor), how to have a personal relationship with a presence that is not a being out there, what Teilhard would have made of the darkness of the noosphere, and whether God depends on us as much as we depend on God. We end where we began. Thank you to everyone who took the class.

Third Q&A of The Future of Religion. Ilia is back from Germany, the questions came in long and dense, and we ended up doing the thing the lecture had set up. We tracked how the natural-supernatural binary got constructed — Hume locks God out, German biblical critics build the distinction to argue about miracle stories, Huxley grabs the distinction and weaponizes it against the whole of nature. We asked what happens to faith when you realize Jesus would have been perplexed by supernaturalism as a concept. We asked what two million people in the streets of New York celebrating a Knicks playoff win has to do with religion. And we asked what worship would feel like if the people in the pews actually knew what the liturgy was doing. Spoiler — most of them think it is holding the building together until the sermon arrives.

What if the God you've been taught to believe in is the very thing that's keeping you from finding God? Tami Simon speaks with Sister Ilia Delio—Franciscan theologian, scientist, and author of The Not Yet God—about the evolutionary vision of Teilhard de Chardin, why monotheism is giving way to a new religious consciousness, and how AI, far from threatening our humanity, might be the unexpected catalyst for a God revolution.This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together. Originally aired on Sounds True One.This episode is sponsored by Omega Institute, a global gathering hub for lifelong learning and spiritual exploration.

What if aging is not a slow unraveling—but an upward movement into deeper wholeness? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton explore the idea of “aging as ascension rather than decline.” Drawing on the SPIES model (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social fitness), they reframe the second half of life as a period of integration, purpose, and expanding awareness.The conversation weaves together modern concepts like healthspan and joyspan with the theological and philosophical insights of thinkers like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and C.S. Lewis. From the idea of the “Cosmic Christ” to the daily practices that cultivate resilience and meaning, this episode challenges the dominant narrative of aging and offers a vision of growth that is both grounded and transcendent.If you've ever wondered whether your later years can be your most meaningful, this episode provides both a framework and a path forward.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

This week on Sinica I'm joined by Robert Wright, author of The Moral Animal, Nonzero, and The Evolution of God, for a conversation that runs a little outside our usual beat, though China sits closer to its center than you'd expect. The occasion is his new book The God Test: Artificial Intelligence and Our Coming Cosmic Reckoning, which reads the AI revolution as the latest turn in a story going back billions of years. We get into the French Jesuit paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin's "noosphere," Bob's argument that we evolved large language models rather than engineered them, the cognitive empathy we've both long preached, and the two-word talking point — "But China!" — that Bob thinks is most likely to lead us astray.6:56 – Teilhard de Chardin, the noosphere, and why a planetary "global brain" has become necessary14:49 – Directionality without the mysticism: complexification, teleology, and the "cell's-eye view" worry21:57 – The God Test: is moral progress really the price of governing AI, and is that hopeless on a short clock?28:33 – Why Bob says we evolved large language models rather than built them, and the sycophancy problem that follows35:19 – Open weights and open source: a real safety argument, or competitiveness in safety's clothing?40:03 – Cognitive empathy as the master key, and the same capacity as an engine of deception48:06 – Arms-race fatalism and its limits: cheetahs, gazelles, and the rival who can pick up the phone53:40 – "But China": fear of Beijing, Anthropic and Amodei, Jeff Ding, and the chip-control backfire1:10:48 – Nonzero: game theory, common threats, and the takeoff scenarios that worry Bob most1:23:22 – Attribution error and projection, Ed Fredkin's old warning, and the actual first movePaying It Forward: Garrison Lovely, author of the forthcoming Obsolete (Nation Books) and the Substack of the same name on the AI race.Recommendations:Bob: Pantheon, the animated series on uploaded minds and emergent superintelligence; and the Crowded House song "Don't Dream It's Over."Kaiser: Kyle Chan's High Capacity podcast, especially his episode with Carnegie's Matt Sheehan, "Is China Getting Worried About AI?"; and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Original airdate: August 11, 2020 The French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once wrote, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." If that's true, then understanding the energetic and spiritual dimensions of ourselves may be one of the most important steps we can take toward living a more balanced and fulfilling life. In this episode, I sit down with internationally renowned author, speaker, and energy healer Cyndi Dale to explore the fascinating world of energy medicine and intuition. With decades of experience and more than 70,000 clients worldwide, Cyndi has helped countless people understand the connection between their energy, emotions, and overall well-being. During our conversation, Cyndi explains the fundamentals of energy anatomy, how our energetic systems influence the way we think and feel, and why fear can have such a powerful impact on our lives. She also shares practical insights for developing intuition, accessing inner wisdom, and working with energy to create greater emotional balance, clarity, and peace. Whether you're curious about energy healing, looking to strengthen your intuitive abilities, or seeking new ways to navigate life's challenges, this timeless conversation offers valuable tools for personal growth and transformation.
Ilia delivered the Axial Age lecture this past week from her temporary post in Germany, and the questions came in fast enough that we ended up touching the third rail of the whole class — the rise of monotheism. Yes, there was a time when God was not. Yes, there was a time when God was gods. Yes, Psalm 82 is in your Bible, and yes, Yahweh shows up at the divine council to judge the other deities. If that sounds sacrilegious, you might be exactly the right person to take this class. The Axial Age is when the I gets invented, the score gets written, the disengaged knowing that becomes science comes online, and 60,000 denominations begin arguing over whose copy of the score is correct. We are still inside its inertia. We are also — Ilia argues, and I think she is right — already past its hinge.

Et si la pyramide — l'État, la grande entreprise, la hiérarchie — n'était qu'une forme transitoire d'intelligence collective, en train d'atteindre sa limite sous nos yeux ? Jean-François Noubel étudie depuis plus de vingt ans la façon dont les groupes humains pensent ensemble. Dans cette conversation de plus de trois heures, il déroule une cartographie qui change la manière de regarder à peu près tout : nos organisations, notre langue, notre argent, et notre propre évolution intérieure. On y parle de : — Les 4 formes d'intelligence collective (essaim, originelle, pyramidale, holomidale), et pourquoi chacune émerge quand la précédente sature — Pourquoi une équipe perd sa magie au-delà de ~15 personnes, et une entreprise au-delà de ~50 — Holoptisme contre panoptisme : voir le tout depuis le terrain, ou tout voir d'en haut sans rien comprendre — Pourquoi l'écriture a rendu les empires possibles — et pourquoi internet rebat les cartes — Le langage F-prime : parler sans le verbe « être » pour sortir de la violence de l'absolu — L'économie du don, dans laquelle Noubel vit depuis 2011 — La « posture de l'arbre » : offrir ses fruits plutôt que pousser — Développement personnel vs transpersonnel : ce que la société a installé en toi sans que tu l'aies choisi (langue, argent, codes, doxa alimentaire) — Holochain et la fin du tiers de confiance — Vie 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 (Max Tegmark), et là où l'IA nous a déjà dépassés — Le sentientisme, au-delà du véganisme — La boussole beau / bon / vrai comme définition de la richesse réelle Une discussion pour qui sent que les vieilles structures craquent et cherche à comprendre ce qui pourrait venir après — sans verser ni dans le catastrophisme ni dans la promesse technologique facile. RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L'ÉPISODE — Alfred Korzybski — sémantique générale, à l'origine du E-prime / F-prime — Platon — le beau, le bon, le vrai — Max Tegmark — Life 3.0 — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin — la noosphère — Noam Chomsky — langage et structures de pouvoir — Holochain — framework d'applications distribuées (holochain.org) — Will Kymlicka & Sue Donaldson — Zoopolis (sentientisme) — The Transitioner — les travaux de Jean-François Noubel sur l'intelligence collective L'INVITÉ — Jean-François Noubel Chercheur indépendant en intelligence collective, fondateur de The Transitioner.

It was a very big and important week here, especially with the presentation on Monday May 25 of Pope Leo's first encyclical Magnifica humanitas. I'll look at that, of course, but now just a line about my special guests in the interview segment – Frank and Mary Frost, film producers whom I met not long ago in Rome at the screening of one of their premier documentaries “Teilhard, Visionary Scientist.” That's French Jesuit scientist, paleontologist and scholar, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. A truly amazing story! We met again at Georgetown University when I was in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, and spoke about their work and this documentary in particular as both Frank and Mary feel it is time to introduce Teilhard de Chardin to a new generation.Founded in 1985 by Frank and Mary Frost, Frank Frost Productions is, as their site says, an award-winning film and television production company dedicated to producing entertaining and informational programming and independent documentaries. More than 100 million viewers have watched over 30 high-caliber FFP documentaries focusing on historical, biographical, cultural, and religious subjects in pursuit of human understanding across cultures, nationalities, and religions. What is the Teilhard project and film about? In their words: “A captivating human story (Indiana Jones meets Galileo) about scientific adventure (discovery of Peking Man), religious repression, and a love story, with a seemingly tragic end.”

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
Welcome back for our twenty-ninth season of the Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast. This season is years in the making. We've long wanted to bring a season full of Spirit-directed conversations on the experience of being human, in all its complicated glory, but the timing was never quite right. And now, it's finally here: Season 29 | Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few. In this first episode Ruth helps to set up our upcoming season, laying down the biblical and foundational groundwork for embodied spirituality. Drawing on Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, she reminds us that we are “spiritual beings learning to become human.” This episode is a map to help us know where we're going this season. Ruth concludes with Brian Wren's hymn “Good is the Flesh.” Mentioned in the episode: Soulful Spirituality by David Benner How Can So Many Pastors and Leaders Be Godly and Dysfunctional at the Same Time? By Todd Wilson Tending Soul, Mind and Body, the Art and Science of Spiritual Formation by Todd Wilson Into the Silent Land by Martin Laird Sacred Rhythms by Ruth Haley Barton Honoring the Body Biblical Foundations (document Ruth references in the episode) Music: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Led by the Spirit from Music in Solitude We're on Substack! “On the Journey with the Transforming Center” is our home for “reflection, conversation, and connection with our transforming community.” It includes thoughtful reflections from Ruth Haley Barton and the Transforming Center team, as well as alumni and friends of the Transforming Center, occasional special video teachings and guided practices, and space to interact with our content and respond with how God is working in your life through the posts.

We've always assumed that if there IS a God, that God made us. But what if it ends up being the other way around… and we're already further along than we think? Artificial intelligence is now offering moral advice, generating new forms of scripture, even simulating conversations with the divine. For some users, the line between useful tool and spiritual authority is already starting to blur. Why does it feel so natural for us to imagine there's a ghost in the machine? And what happens when the people building AI start to talk and think about their creation in religious terms? On this episode, we'll talk to journalist Sigal Samuel about where AI is showing up in religious spaces and how what it becomes will have major consequences for human agency and how we understand our place in the world. And we'll talk to psychologist Paul Bloom about the quirks of human psychology that make us so prone to see minds, intention, and perhaps even the divine, in the machine. Along the way we'll also ask: Can AI be morally formed? Could it ever have something like its own spiritual yearning? And if it could, what might it mean for us?Sigal Samuel is a senior reporter at Vox, where she covers religion, ethics, and the future of consciousness and AI. Check out her writing in Vox's Future Perfect column and follow her on X or Bluesky.Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and the author of several books, including Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil and Against Empathy.

"When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all." -1 Corinthians 15:28 Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE! Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study Ann Garrido joins us on the podcast again and today she speaks about the life and theology of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the French Jesuit priest whose writings and theology Sofia mentions in the chapter My Readings from Way of Holy Joy which is a book of selected writings of Sofia Cavalletti. Ann tells us about this unique theologian, helps us explore the similarities in his work and those of Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti as well as where we can see his influence in the work of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Ann Garrido has been a catechist of the Good Shepherd since 1996. She has served as a catechist and formation leader at all three levels. Ann is an Associate Professor and Director of the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. She is the author of multiple works, including her newest book Redeeming Power about the healthy and holy exercise of leadership. Ann Garrido's website HERE “Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability- and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you, your ideas mature gradually- let them grow, let them shape themselves without undue haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that God's hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Making of a Mind, from a letter written July 4, 1915 “The Son of God became man so that man might become God” - St Althanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, On the Incarnation Website on the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership CGS Heritage A good biography of Teilhard Podcasts about CGS Heritage/Influencers: 109: Father Dalmazio Mongillo 92: Who was Adele Costa Gnocchi 78: A Glimpse of Gianna Gobbi 76: Romano Guardini 71: A Glimpse at Sofia 68: Eugenio Zolli 60: Pioneers of CGS with Betty Hissong 57: Celebrating the Life of Tina Lillig Podcasts Episodes with Ann Garrido: Episode 19 – Typology with Ann Garrido Episode 53 – The Birth and Infancy of Jesus with Ann Garrido Episode 59 – Preaching with Children with Ann Garrido Episode 68 – The CGS Heritage – Eugenio Zolli with Ann Garrido Episode 111.

We are joined by nationally and internationally recognized educator, leadership coach, and bestselling author Mirko Chardin for a deeply reflective conversation about healing school communities through restorative practices and equity-centered design. Drawing from lived experience and decades of leadership in education, Mirko shares how schools can move beyond compliance-driven systems and cultivate cultures rooted in trust, belonging, and authentic relationships. Throughout the conversation, Mirko explores the principles behind Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how educators can intentionally design classrooms that anticipate learner needs rather than reacting to them. Rather than treating equity as an afterthought, he argues that schools must plan for it from the start by creating multiple pathways for students to engage, understand, and demonstrate learning while maintaining rigorous expectations for all. As a school founder, Mirko has spent decades supporting schools and organizations in moving from compliance-driven systems toward cultures rooted in trust, accountability, and relationships. He is the co-author of Restorative Practices That Heal School Communities and Equity by Design, and his work draws deeply from lived leadership experience, restorative practices, storytelling, and social-emotional learning. Mirko partners with school leaders, executive teams, and organizations who are navigating change, conflict, and cultural transformation. For educators, school leaders, and advocates for equitable education, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical insight into how restorative frameworks can create classrooms and communities where every student can thrive.
The fundamental challenges confronting humanity are not the failure of particular nations or institutions or businesses or civil organizations, but rather the disconnect between our economic, political, and social systems. Dennis Snower and David Sloan Wilson, converging economics and evolution, have a plan to ameliorate the decoupling of economic prosperity and political success from social and environmental prosperity, a decoupling that destabilizes our planet.Origins Podcast WebsiteFlourishing Commons NewsletterShow Notes:paper that frames this conversation: "Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Economics"British postal strike (09:20)Amos Tversky (10:30)Sloan Wilson (11:00)Theodosius Dobzhansky (12:00)This is Water (15:00)David Whyte (16:00)Thomas Singer (18:20)Evolution Institute (19:20)Eric Beinhocker (20:00)Mont Pèlerin Society (21:00)Philip Anderson More is Different (26:00)rethinking wealth (26:30)multilevel selection (29:30)Elinor and Vincent Ostrom (31:00)The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn (42:10)Thich Nhat Hanh and engaged Buddhism (01:00:40)flourishing (01:08:10)Find Dennis online: https://www.global-solutions-initiative.org/person/dennis-j-snower/Find David online: davidsloanwilson.world/Recommended books:Dennis: Tolstoy and the great works of literatureDavid: Teilhard de Chardin and people/places achieving positive cultural change 'hiding in plain sight'Logo artwork by Cristina GonzalezMusic by swelo on all streaming platforms or @swelomusic on social media
SEASON FINALEIn his final years, Charles Dawson remained convinced that his discovery would secure his place in history. Piltdown Man—officially named Eoanthropus dawsoni—was, in his mind, undeniable proof of Britain’s place in the story of human evolution.Unfortunately for Dawson’s legacy, science has a long memory.After Dawson’s death in 1916, Piltdown Man continued to influence research in Paleoanthropology for decades. The fossil fragments were studied, cited, and used to support theories about how humans evolved—especially the idea that large brains developed before other human features.But by the mid-20th century, new scientific tools began to tell a different story.In the early 1950s, researchers applied fluorine dating to the Piltdown fossils. The results were devastating. The skull fragments were medieval in age, while the jawbone belonged to an orangutan whose teeth had been deliberately filed down to resemble human ones.Among the scientists who helped expose the fraud were Kenneth Oakley, Wilfrid Le Gros Clark, and Joseph Weiner.Their conclusion was unavoidable: Piltdown Man was a hoax.The fossil that had once been hailed as the “missing link” was actually a carefully assembled combination of human skull fragments and an orangutan jawbone, artificially stained and modified to appear ancient.The scientific embarrassment was enormous.For more than forty years, Piltdown Man had shaped research, textbooks, and public understanding of human evolution. Entire hypotheses had been built around a fossil that never should have existed.Speculation about the hoaxer followed quickly. While a few theories pointed fingers at others—including Arthur Conan Doyle and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—most historians now agree that Dawson himself was almost certainly responsible.If true, it would mean that Dawson successfully fooled the scientific world for decades using little more than ambition, patience, and a carefully staged fossil discovery.Today, the Piltdown hoax stands as one of the most famous cautionary tales in the history of science.Rather than weakening the field, however, the scandal ultimately strengthened it. The exposure of Piltdown Man reinforced the importance of skepticism, verification, and improved dating techniques in the study of human origins.In other words: science corrected itself.And that may be the most important legacy of Piltdown Man.Because in the end, the story isn’t really about a hoax.It’s about how the search for truth continues—even when the evidence itself turns out to be a lie.

In this 100th episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Sr. Ilia Delio continues her conversation with Nicholas Hedlund, PhD exploring what it means to seek coherence in a world shaped by fragmentation and acceleration.Beginning with Teilhard de Chardin's sense that the future is not simply ahead of us but mysteriously within the present, Ilia and Nick reflect on evolution as an unfinished process of becoming—one that calls for “unity in diversity,” not a monolithic consensus. Nick develops his concept of alethic resonance: truth as an attunement to reality that is participatory and transformative, not merely a set of propositions we “possess.” If reality is relational and dynamic, then truth is not something we control but something we learn to hear, honor, and live.ABOUT NICHOLAS HEDLUND“Humanity is not suffering from a crisis of information but a crisis of integration.”Nicholas Hedlund, Ph.D., is a philosopher, metatheorist, and contemplative practitioner whose work explores the intersection of spirituality, science, and worldview transformation. He is the director of Eudaimonia Institute and director of research at the Institute for Applied Metatheory, and serves as Editor-in-Chief of Integration: The Journal of Big Picture Theory and Practice.Nicholas developed visionary realism, an integrative philosophical framework drawing from critical realism, integral theory, and complexity science to illuminate deeper structures of reality and help navigate the global metacrisis. He earned his Ph.D. from University College London, where he studied under Roy Bhaskar and Arthur Petersen, and he was also an exchange scholar at Yale University.He is the author and editor of Metatheory for the Twenty-First Century and Big Picture Perspectives on Planetary Flourishing, and his work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Zygon and Environmental Science & Policy. He is currently completing two new books further developing visionary realism and its implications for civilizational transformation.Alongside his scholarly work, Nicholas is an APPA-certified philosophical counselor and a spiritual director-in-training, supporting individuals in exploring meaning, inner transformation, and spiritual experience. A long-time contemplative practitioner and musician, he is deeply interested in the resonance between sound, consciousness, and human evolution.Nicholas teaches in the Integral Noetic Sciences Department at the California Institute for Human Science, offering courses in On March 17, the Center for Christogenesis welcomes back the Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining for a webinar on Trauma, Transformation, and Christ-Wholeness.

In this episode, I explore whether Georges Bataille can be read as a radical theologian precisely because he refuses to save God.Drawing from Allan Stoekl's essay “Bataille, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Death of God,” I contrast Teilhard's vision of convergence and Omega with Bataille's insistence that completion ends in rupture — that absolute knowledge collapses into nonknowledge.Although I no longer identify as a Christian, I remain drawn to radical theology. Here, I wrestle with a tension I feel even within progressive theology: after rejecting a literal deity, do we still preserve a highest ground — a metaphysical guarantor — under another name?Bataille's atheism forces me to ask whether a truly radical theology must relinquish even that.Not comfort.But courage.
Éric de Kermel est romancier. Il a vécu des années importantes de sa vie au Maroc, dont une bonne partie de son enfance. Après une première participation l'an dernier à Zeteo, où il nous avait parlé de son roman L'archipel de Claire, il est venu présenter son nouveau livre À la découverte de l'Islam et des musulmans, qu'il a co-écrit avec son amie Reem Yasmina Laghrari.Reem Yasmina Laghrari est docteure en pharmacie. Née aux États-Unis, elle vit et pratique la médecine au Maroc, le pays de ses racines familiales. Passionnée par les questions culturelles et religieuses, elle a déjà écrit Les Prophètes à la lumière du Coran et de la Bible, livre publié en 2024 et préfacé par Éric de Kermel.Éric de Kermel et Reem Yasmina Laghrari partagent le même rêve : établir des passerelles entre les spiritualités, et rappeler les liens très forts qui rapprochent les grandes religions. C'est le cas pour les trois religions monothéistes, le Judaïsme, le Christianisme, et l'Islam, et particulièrement de ces deux dernières.D'où le projet de ce livre, né d'une discussion amicale lors d'une de leurs rencontres au Maroc : Écrire tout ce que nous partageons, tout ce dont nous héritons les uns des autres, souvent sans le savoir.Éric de Kermel et Reem Yasmina Laghrari ne sont ni théologiens, ni historiens. Leur idée, c'est plutôt celle de révéler le visage d'un Islam lumineux, joyeux et tolérant, et de démêler ce qui repose sur les coutumes ancestrales, les enseignements religieux tirés du Coran et la Tradition prophétique.Avec profondeur, gravité parfois, mais aussi humour et légèreté, ils nous donnent un avant-goût d'un livre qu'ils ont écrit sous le format original d'un Abécédaire riche d'une centaine de thèmes. Ils abordent des sujets aussi variés que ceux, étonnants, de l'abeille ou de l'écologie. Ils évoquent la symbolique de la langue arabe, le lyrisme des arts et la mystique du soufisme. Ils parlent de la femme, de la notion de Dieu, de l'importance du désert. Ils évoquent aussi les questions du voile, de la charia et du djihad. Ils nous disent encore l'importance, dans l'Islam, de la figure de Marie de Nazareth.Avec Éric de Kermel et Reem Yasmina Laghrari, nous découvrons une nouvelle fois à quel point les grandes sagesses et les spiritualités se rejoignent. Leur regard contemporain est à la fois réaliste et tendre. Rempli d'espérance, il est porté par un parfum oriental à la fois mystérieux, poétique et lumineux.Au moment où nous mettons cet épisode en ligne, nous apprenons d'Éric de Kermel le décès de son amie Leila Shahid, qu'il cite au cours de cet épisode. En quelques lignes, voici ce qu'Éric a tenu à nous dire : « Leïla Shahid était mon amie. Elle était très sensible à la démarche que nous portions avec Reem et avait salué la parution de notre livre. Je lui dédie ma participation à cet épisode. »Pour lire À la découverte de l'Islam et des musulmans, le livre co-écrit par Éric de Kermel et Reem Yasmina Laghrari, cliquer ici.CE QUI NOUS RAPPROCHE est tellement plus fort que ce qui nous sépareChers amis, chères amies,Chers auditeurs, chères auditrices,C'est ce qui me frappe le plus, à l'occasion de ce nouvel épisode qui met en lumière tant de rapprochements entre le Christianisme et l'Islam, et qui déborde largement la dimension religieuse et même spirituelle de ce sujet, c'est que ce qui nous rapproche est tellement plus fort et plus profond que ce qui nous sépare...Nos regards et nos cœurs sont souvent troublés par le diabolos, le séparateur. Ce qui nous fait croire à ce qui n'est pas, qui créé la dualité, et qui veut séparer ce qui est intrinsèquement et essentiellement uni.Un mystique orthodoxe m'apprenait, il y a quelques mois, à quel point il ne fallait pas tomber dans cette illusion que nous partageons tous. Ne donnons pas de réalité au Royaume du mal et du néant. Seul existe le Royaume Céleste et du réel. Celui du Dieu qui est. C'est à ce Royaume, et à aucun autre, que nous appartenons.L'humanité est composée de peuples différents, répartis sur des zones géographiques différentes qui ont exercent toutes une influence profonde sur nos cultures, nos spiritualités, nos modes de vie, nos rapports au vivant. Et pourtant, nous provenons tous de la même essence, celle d'un seul créateur génial et divin. Nous formons tous les parties d'un même corps.Et cela s'applique non seulement à l'humanité, mais à tout le vivant. Je suis de plus en plus frappé, et émerveillé, de découvrir toutes les connexions et les interactions qui nous relient tous dans un seul corps, une seule création. Les scènes si attendrissantes qui révèlent les émotions des animaux avec nous ou entre eux, que nous aimons tellement voir sur internet, en sont une illustration. Les liens mystérieux qui agissent entre les minéraux, les végétaux et nous en sont une autre. Il y a une infinité de liens cosmiques.Je pense en écrivant ces lignes au Milieu Divin de Teilhard de Chardin. Et je pense aussi beaucoup à la poésie cosmique du Petit Prince de Saint-Éxupéry… Des sujets magnifiques qui feraient certainement de magnifiques épisodes sur Zeteo.Ce corps que forme l'humanité, qui faisait dire à Annick de Souzenelle qu'elle est l'épouse divine de Dieu, nous en avons un avant-goût intense et vibrant dans toutes les communautés qui nous rassemblent. Comme, modestement mais sûrement, pour celle que nous formons ensemble autour de ce podcast, de ses invités et invitées, de ses auditeurs et auditrices, de ses donateurs et donatrices.Il fait vraiment gris dehors, avec ces tempêtes et ces pluies qui se succèdent inlassablement depuis le début de l'année. En même temps, il fait tellement beau entre nous, avec tout l'amour et toutes les beautés qui nous rapprochent !Tout près les uns des autres,Guillaume Devoud-------------- Pour soutenir l'effort de Zeteo, podcast sans publicité et d'accès entièrement gratuit, vous pouvez faire un don.

Frédérique Lemarchand, lorsqu'Annick de Souzenelle a été rappelée vers le Père, s'est sentie appelée à revivre les années exceptionnelles de sa relation si forte avec elle. Aujourd'hui, elle répond à cet appel en publiant Mutation, un livre très important pour elle, et aussi pour Annick.Au cœur de ce livre, qui raconte aussi son histoire personnelle, Frédérique Lemarchand revient profondément sur la correspondance que les deux femmes ont échangée pendant une dizaine d'années.Ce livre, comme cet épisode particulièrement émouvant, est une rencontre aussi vivante que puissante avec Frédérique et Annick, que l'on sent si intensément présente à chaque ligne de Mutation, entre les lignes aussi, comme à chaque seconde de cet épisode, et dans ses silences.Nous vivons une époque étrange, où les menaces s'accumulent sur notre humanité. Pourtant, ne sommes-nous pas, dans nos incarnations, les dépositaires d'une vie éternelle ? Nous sommes des êtres de lumière, comblés de grâces qui nous permettent d'entrer en dissidence, et de ne pas tomber dans le piège du monde.Citant Teilhard de Chardin, Frédérique nous le rappelle : « Nous ne sommes pas des êtres humains vivant une expérience spirituelle mais des êtres spirituels vivant une expérience humaine ».La mutation, c'est l'éveil avant le retournement. C'est ce qui opère en nous la naissance spirituelle à la vie éternelle, après la première naissance biologique à la vie terrestre.Avec Frédérique Lemarchand, avec toute sa grâce, toute sa beauté, tout son talent, son immense sensibilité, la grande vulnérabilité et la force indestructible qui l'habitent, nous sommes invités à ne pas piétiner notre propre mutation.Dans un sms qu'elle m'envoyait avant-hier, Frédérique Lemarchand le reconnaissait : « l'enjeu est capital ». Elle sait que son message est essentiel, ce que lui avait confirmé Annick de Souzenelle dans ses lettres.L'émotion est forte, au moment de mettre en ligne cet épisode si particulier. La gratitude aussi. Je n'hésite pas à le dire : depuis notre première rencontre au cours de l'été 2022, Frédérique Lemarchand, si aimée par tant de personnes en France et hors de France, est vraiment la muse de Zeteo.La progression des épisodes précédents, à l'appel irrésistible de la lumière de Vézelay, culmine maintenant. Il ne s'agit pas de la fin du chemin, mais d'un tremplin vers le divin.Pour lire Mutation, le nouveau livre de Frédérique Lemarchand, cliquer ici.Pour découvrir les oeuvres et les activités de Frédérique Lemarchand, cliquer ici.TRANSFIGURATIONChers amis, chères amies,Chers auditeurs, chères auditrices,Frédérique Lemarchand le dit au cours de cet épisode : « La peinture est mon langage le plus élevé ». Ce verbe, celui de l'art qui lui a été confié, c'est un verbe divin. Celui qui ouvre et qui réouvre notre monde et nos cœurs.Sur la couverture de Mutation, son nouveau livre, Frédérique a choisi un rapprochement qui m'interpelle beaucoup. Celui de son visage avec le soleil d'une transfiguration, qu'elle a peint dans son œuvre Eau Sang Esprit.Je me suis alors posé cette question : quel est mon visage ? Je ne me l'étais jamais vraiment posée jusqu'alors. Je crois que j'étais plus avide du visage des autres que du mien.Et depuis que j'ai créé Zeteo, depuis que je sillonne la France, parfois la Belgique et la Suisse, je vois de nombreux visages. Comme celui qui me vient en tête au moment où j'écris ces lignes. Celui de Robert C, dont l'épisode est proche, au cours duquel il va nous éclabousser des beautés dont il se délecte avec ses yeux de Petit Prince.Il y a des questions magnifiques dans cet épisode, grâce à Frédérique. Comme par exemple :- Qui sommes-nous lorsque nous faisons face à notre plus grande peur ?Ne nous étonnons pas lorsqu'il y a la souffrance et la peur, parce que plus la lumière grandit, plus elle éclaire nos ombres. C'est aussi ce que nous dit Frédérique.Il y a aussi ces questions qui contiennent déjà leurs réponses.- Quand tu te transfigures en lumière, qui peut dévorer la lumière ?Entrons dans la beauté infinie, celle où l'âme s'abreuve.Guillaume Devoud-------------- Pour soutenir l'effort de Zeteo, podcast sans publicité et d'accès entièrement gratuit, vous pouvez faire un don.

The daily news is filled with stories of division, wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, political chaos, and so much continuous devastation. What can we do collectively to ease the pain? Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world's situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution. Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women. She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks.

This episode is a companion to S5E23 on the evolutionary model of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, which incorporates God into an otherwise atheistic scientific theory. Author of The Call of Wonder, Brian Cranley, joins Chris to hash out their thoughts after having freshly read Chardin's work--The Phenomenon of Man--for the first time. We discuss his overarching model of evolution, his notion of God "Omega" and its significance to the model and all the various reasons why he was censured by the Catholic church. You can find more about Brian Cranley on his website: briancranley.com and purchase his book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/cqllhDC Enjoy ;)
In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the legendary Jesuit priest and anthropologist--Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. We explore his landmark book "The Phenomenon of Man" and through it his theistic (and yet heretical) model of evolution. We begin from the moment of Creation, from the Big Bang, and walk through the process of the universe up to the rise of mankind and his unique expression of consciousness. Then the fun begins! We explore Chardin's vision of the direction of evolution, the nature of consciousness and speculations about what the next stages of evolution will bring. Spoiler alert, it's God...the culmination of evolution is the actualization of the divine! Enjoy ;)
In this New Year's Eve special of Breaking History, Matt Ehret flies solo to close out 2025 with an extended, classroom-style presentation focused on what he describes as the intellectual, moral, and psychological traps shaping the road ahead. Matt frames the episode around themes of classical tragedy, mob psychology, and the loss of sovereignty, arguing that societies are repeatedly steered into fear-based thinking that leads people to participate in their own destruction. He examines the construction of modern enemy narratives, particularly surrounding China, Russia, and global war rhetoric, drawing on statements from figures such as George Soros, Steve Bannon, and U.S. national security officials. The episode then moves into a deep historical exploration of transhumanism, eugenics, and ideological convergence between technocratic elites and religious eschatology, tracing figures like Julian Huxley, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Bertrand Russell, and the Jesuit tradition. Matt concludes by urging viewers to raise their standards of thinking, reject simplistic narratives, and actively engage their reason and moral judgment as 2026 approaches.
This 16-minute guided meditation invites you to review your Advent meditations, to hold silence on the threshold between Advent and Christmas, and to imagine God’s new life being born again within you. Dear Ones— This guided meditation is for anyone who has been praying throughout Advent and would like to hold a moment of stillness between the longing and hope of Advent, and the celebratory feast of Christmas. You are invited to be still, to wait, to remember, to imagine. We are held in the paradox between what is and what is to come, the paradox between our poverty, our dependence, our frailty and the fullness of life that is poured out to us each and every day. We pause here to acknowledge that tension, to attend to the Holy One who comes anew in us. References in the meditation: Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Isaiah 43:19 See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin (excerpted from Hearts on Fire, Praying with the Jesuits) Above all, trust in the slow work of God.We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.We should like to skip the intermediate stages.We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progressthat it is made by passing through some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you;your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,let them shape themselves, without undue haste.Don't try to force them on,as though you could be today what time(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spiritgradually forming within you will be.Give Our Lord the benefit of believingthat his hand is leading you,and accept the anxiety of feeling yourselfin suspense and incomplete. Blessings, Dear One…. Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

This Christmas, we did something completely different. Instead of planning our usual year-end reflection, we handed control to AI—specifically ChatGPT—and asked it to curate 15 topics based on who we are, what we've experienced this year, and what needs to be said. The result? Well, you're just gonna have to give it a listen! Join Harmony Slater and Russell Case as they explore the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology through discussions that span quantum consciousness, psychedelic healing, the Ashtanga yoga world's reckoning, and the art of finding beauty in life's broken moments. This isn't your typical year-in-review episode—it's a deep dive into what happens when you let "Gaia Earth Consciousness" (as Russell calls AI) guide a conversation about transformation.
