Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 6, 2026 is: sartorial sahr-TOR-ee-ul adjective Sartorial broadly means “of or relating to clothes,” but it often more specifically means “of or relating to a tailor or tailored clothes.” // This particular English teacher is known both for engaging students deeply in literature and for her eccentric sartorial tastes. See the entry > Examples: “As always, the Princess's sartorial elegance shone through this year, with her championing British designers, turning to old favourites and adorning treasures she's been gifted from the royal family over the years.” — Hello! Magazine (UK), 30 Dec. 2025 Did you know? Study the seams in the word sartorial and you'll find the common adjective suffix -ial and sartor, a Medieval Latin noun meaning “tailor.” (Sartor comes ultimately from Latin sarcire, “to mend.”) Sartorial has bedecked the English language since the early decades of the 19th century as a word describing things relating to clothes and to tailors, while sartor, though never fully adopted into the language, has also seen occasional use as a synonym for tailor. A third word shares the same root: sartorius (plural sartorii) refers to the longest muscle in the human body. Crossing the front of the thigh obliquely, it assists in rotating the leg to the cross-legged position in which the knees are spread wide apart—and in which tailors have traditionally sat.
We are excited to welcome Joe Davis for this episode, currently Vanguard's Global Chief Economist and Global Head of the Investment Strategy Group. Many of you likely know various iterations of the Vanguard story, but most of the professionals I know do not know how big a research team they have. Joe has a big influence on the company because he is also chairs the firm's Strategic Asset Allocation Committee. Ok, that was exhausting listing all of his titles, he is a busy person. Before that, he was still busy; he earned his M.A. and Ph.D at Duke University and is a graduate of the Advanced Management Program at the Wharton School of U Penn. Joe is a frequent keynote speaker and currently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Portfolio Management and the Journal of Fixed Income. In this episode, we are all over the place (which is normal), ranging from Vanguard's 50+ year history as a disruptor, to how many CFA charter holders are at Vanguard now (hint: a lot), their vast and under the radar research group, new CEO Salim Ramji, patents that Vanguard created in ETF space, the breakdown of active vs. passive funds in their lineup (which surprises many) and Joe's new book on AI. This was a great segue into the markets, with the impact of AI, Fed independence being potentially disrupted, a new multi-polar world, expected returns, potential market scenarios, and more. Today's hosts are Steve Curley, CFA (Co-Managing Principal, 55 North Private Wealth) & co-host Chris Cannon, CFA (CIO/Principal, FirsTrust). Please enjoy the episode.

When federal agents kill civilians and public outrage sweeps the nation, who gets to define justified force and who gets to hold power accountable? The killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have sparked protests, national shutdowns, and fresh debate about what security should look like in America. Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security, joins Mark Labberton for a wide-ranging conversation about fear-based governance, moral responsibility, constitutional guardrails, and what faithful leadership looks like in a moment of political crisis. "Cruelty is a deterrent." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Neumann reflects on how Christian faith and public service shaped her national security career and why recent forceful immigration enforcement and lethal encounters challenge constitutional limits and moral clarity. Together they discuss the moral and political meaning of the Minneapolis killings, trauma and vocation, immigration enforcement and democratic consent, fear-driven leadership, and how citizens and faith communities respond when institutions break down. Episode Highlights "Cruelty is a deterrent." "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man." "We wrapped the flag around the cross." "We see sufficiently, but not transparently." "This is not normal, and this is not okay." About Elizabeth Neumann Elizabeth Neumann is a national security expert and former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security. She served across three presidential administrations, including senior roles during the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, and worked extensively on counterterrorism, prevention of political violence, and domestic extremism. A frequent public commentator and congressional witness, Neumann has become a leading voice on the moral and constitutional dangers of fear-driven governance. Her work bridges public policy, trauma studies, and Christian ethics, particularly where political power collides with faith commitments. She is the author of Kingdom of Rage, a deeply personal and analytical account of extremism, nationalism, and the cost of unexamined allegiance. Helpful Links and Resources Kingdom of Rage: The Rise of Christian Extremism and the Path Back to Peace https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Rage-Christian-Extremism-Peace/dp/1546002057 Show Notes Elizabeth Neumann's experience growing up in North Texas Faith and party loyalty culturally fused "To be a Christian meant you were a Republican." Early fascination with politics and government service University of Texas, late 1990s political climate George W. Bush campaigns as formative training ground Entry into White House work through campaign victory Faith-based initiatives before September 11 reshaped national priorities September 11 as lived experience, not abstraction Crossing the 14th Street Bridge as the attacks unfolded "We were under attack," and nothing felt safe Fog, confusion, smoke, radios, and unanswered phone calls Trauma before resilience, fear before context Learning endurance from older colleagues who said, "We will get through this." Trauma as vocational fuel Hypervigilance, workaholism, and mission-driven identity National security as moral calling rather than career ambition Warning from a CIA colleague: rebuild a cadence of normal life Vigilance versus fear-driven overwork Marriage, family, and a season of spiritual deepening Scripture as disruption: Jeremiah 17 and misplaced trust "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man." Public policy confidence challenged as spiritual idolatry Russell Moore sermon and the shock of naming Christian nationalism "We wrapped the flag around the cross." Cultural Christianity exposed as formation, not gospel Deconstructing politics without deconstructing faith Becoming comfortable with ambiguity and moral gray Labberton on seeing "through a glass darkly" Interpretive humility versus certainty culture Returning to government during the Trump administration Saying yes out of mission, not agreement Guardrails inside government: translating impulse into lawful action Illegal orders, pressure, and survival mode governance Lafayette Square as turning point Peaceful protesters met with militarized force Optics over constitution Immigration enforcement reframed as cruelty-based deterrence "Cruelty is a deterrent." ICE, CBP, and DHS operating outside traditional norms First, Second, and Fourth Amendment violations described Warrantless searches and administrative authority Law enforcement trained for war zones policing civilian streets Rapid ICE expansion without vetting or adequate training Fear rhetoric inside agencies creating enemy mentality Officers taught to expect violence from the public Predictable escalation and preventable deaths Moral injury to agents and terror inflicted on communities "This is not normal, and this is not okay." Democracy requires consent of the governed Public trust collapsing when law breaks the law Call for stand-down, retraining, and accountability Faithful resistance as moral clarity, not partisan alignment #ElizabethNeumann #FaithAndPolitics #NationalSecurity #ImmigrationCrisis #MoralCourage #PublicFaith Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

It will come as a relief to many Palestinians who see it as a lifeline to the world, although there is frustration that only small numbers of people and no goods will be allowed through. Israeli reports say only 50 patients - accompanied by one or two relatives - will be allowed to exit each day. We hear from two women, one who wants to leave Gaza and one who wants to return. Also on the programme: damaging new revelations about the links between a former British government minister and the American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; and the dress rehearsal for the forthcoming mission to the moon.(Photo: Palestinian patients prepare to travel for medical treatment to Egypt Credit: Haitham Imad/EPA/Shutterstock)

But Brian Tamaki is still encouraging people to gather at Victoria Park, which is a short distance from the motorway on-ramp.

Parshas Beshalach: Crossing Inner Seas At the edge of the Yam Suf, the Jewish people face their final test. Egypt is behind them, the sea before them, and fear grips their hearts. Though redemption is already unfolding, freedom suddenly feels more terrifying than slavery. This episode explores the moment when physical escape gives way to inner transformation. Drawing on Rashi and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we uncover why true freedom only begins when retreat is no longer an option—and how the crossing of the sea becomes the crossing of the self. It is a Parsha about courage, responsibility, and stepping forward even when certainty is gone. Dedicated in loving memory of Keshvar Bas Shmuel, Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. For the Refuah Shlema of Shaul Ben Edward, Benyamin Ben Tova, Rafael Ben Mazal, and Orna Bas Lili.

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.One of the first signs of recognition a new mother looks for in her infant is - a smile. Look! She's smiling at me! Yes! Baby sees you. Baby recognizes you.From earliest days we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Remember what we missed in the COVID time with masks masking our smiles? Sure, we crinkled our eyes to signal a smile but it wasn't the same as receiving a smile from another human. Sometimes the tone of our voice was a good substitute. The “music of the spoken word” stood in for our smile. We did the best we could with what we had. Like a smile, the "music of the spoken word" brings written text to life with inflection, pause, tone, emphasis, and cadence. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but the human voice lends expression and emotional meaning.I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope, delight and imagination, as well as thoughts to ponder, stories to share, a practical tip to lighten and brighten your day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast episodes. My voice is me smiling at you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Welcome to Episode 4 of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Migration, a special mini-series of Walk Talk Listen produced in connection with new research by the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities (JLI) and Christian Aid on faith and climate migration. In this episode, Maurice Bloem speaks with Nidia Rosmery Bustillos Rodríguez, a Bolivian traditional healer and herbalist born in Cochabamba, whose life and work bring together lived experience, academic training, and Indigenous knowledge. Nidia is trained in information management, development studies, and transpersonal psychology, and her professional path integrates research, cultural management, and institutional work in the fields of intercultural health, development, and the rights of Indigenous women. Their conversation explores migration not only as physical movement, but as rupture and transformation. Born to parents who migrated for work and later forced to leave Bolivia to escape violent abuse, Nidia reflects on how family migration shapes identity across generations and how displacement, trauma, and spiritual meaning intersect. Her story reveals how survival can become a pathway toward healing, both for oneself and for others. Nidia's professional work mirrors these themes. She has conducted research on traditional women healers, the use of natural resources, and information and communication technologies for the empowerment of Indigenous women, as well as on tambos and the Qhapaq Ñan. She currently serves as a Program Officer at the Pawanka Fund for the Arctic, Pacific, and Eurasia regions, and is responsible for the traditional medicine laboratory GAIA-TERRA. She is also CEO of DREAMCO SRL and the Cruz del Sur Foundation, and has collaborated widely with international organizations and feminist and Indigenous networks to strengthen initiatives related to traditional medicine, cultural heritage, and the preservation of ancestral knowledge. Nidia's reflections echo key findings of the JLI–Christian Aid evidence review, which shows that faith and spirituality shape how people interpret displacement and that resilience often takes forms that policy and humanitarian systems struggle to recognize, including emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions. Her life story gives human form to these insights, illustrating how loss, movement, and meaning are deeply intertwined. Rather than a formal interview, this episode is a listening dialogue about what it means to leave home, to survive violence, and to transform pain into care. It is also a conversation about knowledge, memory, and the enduring role of ancestral wisdom in times of upheaval. Learn more about the research behind this series: [link to JLI–Christian Aid report] Listener Engagement: Learn more about Nidia via her LinkedIn and Facebook.

Moment of Clarity - Backstage of Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp
The United States is experiencing massive protests sparked by police and ICE violence, which is rooted in a long history of systemic state violence. Plus, Israel agreed to a limited reopening of the Rafa border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, allowing pedestrian passage but under strict Israeli inspections and surveillance. All that and more.

A Bigger Life Prayer and Bible Devotionals with Pastor Dave Cover
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination. 1 Kings 19:11-13 NIV 11 The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face…. God's native language is a whisper, and a whisper is hard to hear and easy to ignore. And if your life is constantly full of noise, you will completely miss it (see Tyler Staton, The Familiar Stranger). People often say, “Why doesn't God make himself more real to me?” What if God IS revealing himself to you far more than you realize? What if the majority of the times God was revealing himself to you in your life up till now were missed connections because of all the noise and you never stopped to listen?

President Donald Trump appears to have backed off his most urgent rhetoric, for now, around acquiring Greenland against the will of nearly every European nation and the vast majority of Americans. But the threat of a potential takeover of Greenland and other sovereign nations remains, with Trump officials also putting Cuba, Columbia, and even Canada and Mexico on notice for what Trump himself refers to as the “Donroe Doctrine”, a reference to the 200-year-old foreign policy asserting America's dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The momentum for such imperialistic rhetoric is a reminder of a dark time for Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples potentially in Trump's path. GUESTS Dr. Sara Olsvig (Inuk from Greenland), chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council and holds a Ph.D in Arctic studies Andrea Carmen (Yaqui), executive director of the International Indian Treaty Council Tillie Martinussen (Inuit), former member of Parliament of Greenland Malu Rosing (Inuit), advisor on Arctic and global governance for the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs Break 1 Music: Tikitaummata (song) Susan Aglukark (artist) The Crossing (album) Break 2 Music: Mahaha: Tickling Demon (song) PIQSIQ (artist) Legends (album)
Plans to close an addiction services program in Burlington, communities experiencing salt shortages amid the snowy weather, plus a Bulgarian man held by U-S Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Massachusetts after he says he was arrested after mistakenly crossing the border from Canada.
Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about winter weather conditions and escalating unrest in Minneapolis, setting the tone with a reminder that “it’s not a party until something breaks.” He notes that roads are currently clear but urges listeners to prepare for potential snow and bitter cold, pivoting quickly to what he sees as a system under stress. Brett focuses on leadership shakeups tied to recent violence, arguing that former arrangements failed and that placing Tom Homan in charge represents a necessary reset. He contrasts Homan’s long law-enforcement background with what he calls political mismanagement at the state and city level, particularly in Minneapolis. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the adrenaline-fueled weekend of winter weather coverage and why live, local radio still matters when conditions turn dangerous. From ice, snow, and real-time listener reports to the unique bond between a radio station and its community, the conversation highlights how familiar voices help keep people informed—and calm—when it matters most. Bo also shares what listeners can expect as another potential winter system looms this weekend, and how forecasters are tracking a possible shift from ice to snow. Plus, Bo previews what he and Beth Troutman have coming up Tuesday morning on Good Morning BT, including continued updates on the unrest in Minneapolis and a powerful reflection on the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

n this episode, we explore the profound spiritual lesson found in Joshua Chapter 3: "You have never been this way before." We discuss why God sometimes withholds clarity to prioritize our spiritual formation and how to navigate the tension between where you are and where God is taking you.In this episode, we cover:The Purpose of the Pause: Why God asks us to "camp" at the edge of our promise, not to delay us, but to ensure we have the strength and alignment to cross over.Presence Over Pressure: The critical difference between watching the obstacles (the River Jordan) and following the Authority (the Ark of the Covenant).Consecration as Preparation: Understanding that consecration isn't punishment; it is the act of clearing space in our hearts so we can perceive the new thing God is doing.Momentum vs. Obedience: Why cultural busyness is not a sign of spiritual faithfulness, and how to avoid the trap of "paralysis of analysis."The Danger of Familiarity: Learning to keep a reverent distance from the holy so we don't confuse God's plan with our own nostalgia or past experiences.Key Moments:The Paradox of "Now" and "Not Yet": Understanding that we are children of God now, even while our future is still becoming.Camping Before Crossing: Interpreting the three-day wait at the Jordan River as intentional positioning rather than wandering.Following the Ark: Instructions on why we must shift our focus from the impossible terrain to the presence of God.Consecrate Yourselves: The call to clean our spiritual vision because "tomorrow the Lord will do wonders."Crossing the Threshold: Moving from the waiting room into the "decision zone" where faith requires action.Website: http://LeondeJuda.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cljoficial/#Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/congregacionleondejuda
I am hooked! I can't stop watching and listening @TarynSmithMovement on Instagram.She is rowing across the Atlantic all by herself... she's on roughly, Day 44. What can a 24-year-old rowing solo across the Atlantic teach seasoned corporate leaders about courage, endurance, fear, and leadership?More than you think.In this episode, we explore leadership through an unexpected but powerful lens: crossing an ocean alone. This is not an adventure story—it's a leadership case study on how to lead when certainty disappears, fear shows up, and endurance matters more than intensity.If you're navigating ambiguity, pressure, burnout, or high-stakes decisions, this episode will challenge how you think about strength, courage, and what leadership actually requires today.⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Opening Leadership when the horizon disappears02:10 – Why an Ocean Is a Leadership Classroom Uncertainty, isolation, and sustained effort04:45 – Leadership vs. Management Why leadership must work without clarity07:30 – Endurance Over Intensity Why you can't sprint leadership (or an ocean)11:15 – Burnout and Corporate Myths Why exhaustion is not a credential14:20 – Fear as Data, Not Danger How leaders misuse fear—and how to use it properly18:30 – When Fear Becomes Taboo The innovation cost of fear-based cultures22:10 – Beginner's Mind and Adaptability Why leaders must become students again25:40 – Solo Doesn't Mean Alone Vulnerability, support, and leadership trust28:45 – Practicing Courage Daily You don't need an ocean to lead boldly31:00 – Final Reflection & Call to Action What's the ocean you're facing right now?FREE BONUS - Start assessing your leadership capability with our free Powerhouse Communication Assessment. DOWNLOAD HEREKEY TAKEAWAYS• Leadership isn't proven by certainty—it's revealed by consistency under uncertainty • Endurance beats intensity in long-term leadership effectiveness • Burnout is not a leadership credential • Fear is information; suppressing it kills innovation • Cultures that shame fear create cautious leaders, not bold ones • Beginner's mind is a strategic advantage, not a weakness • Vulnerability builds trust without eroding authority • Courage is a daily practice, not a personality trait

Hello to you listening in Mountain View, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Hand on heart: I can still behave like an over-stretched, over-committed, dutiful, responsible, and driven first-born daughter. Do it right or don't do it at all.Maybe like me you find yourself doing it all wrong by trying to do it all right. We have these notions--born of long-ago outdated, outmoded stories--about what we're supposed to do, have, create, earn, market, publish, reconfigure, reorganize, envision, and connect. But I can't and I don't want to do it all perfectly. I want to Be rather messy in my life. Practical Tip: Let's stop for a moment. How would it feel if we “should” less on our own good selves? What if - even for a moment - we invite the power of the pause, peace and space. Did you just breathe a deep sigh of relief? Perhaps drop your shoulders? Maybe even smile at your silly human self? Me, too. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Send us a textRHOBH-Chanel, Candles, and Crossing the LineRHOBH S15 E6 – “Star Signs and Bad Times”Podcast SummaryThis episode opens with solo scenes that quietly set the tone: Kyle can't find the right keys (a metaphor if there ever was one), Sutton insists she doesn't need an assistant, Erika finds peace in flower arranging, and Rachel drops serious money at What Goes Around Comes Around while casually flexing a five-figure shopping spree.Boz shares a vulnerable update on her fertility journey—six viable follicles and a looming egg retrieval in Vegas with Keeley by her side. The emotional stakes rise later when Rachel reveals they were only able to retrieve two eggs, a moment that grounds the episode in real-life gravity.Amanda opens up about the devastating loss of her newborn son Zion, who passed away five days after being born prematurely. The anniversary of his death falls on the same day as Rachel's psychic dinner party—a detail unknown to most of the group and one that will later explode into one of the most uncomfortable dinner scenes of the season.Dorit, meanwhile, is in full reinvention mode. She meets with a new management team, celebrates a Roller Coaster magazine feature, and reveals she's signed a book deal—prompting side-eye from Erika and confusion over ghostwriters versus co-authors.At Rachel's candlelit, power-outage psychic dinner (thank God for her “600 candles”), fashion takes center stage: Jennifer Tilly arrives draped in celestial drama, Rachel wears a sheer gold look topped with a crown, and Erika immediately labels a guest's outfit “expensive hoe.” No notes.But the real tension hits when Sutton confronts Jennifer about comments Kyle allegedly relayed—claiming Sutton is “problematic” and the reason Garcelle distanced herself. After a tearful and messy exchange, Jennifer admits she vented but doesn't remember exactly what she said. Sutton apologizes for snapping, and the two attempt to reset.Then comes the emotional gut punch.A conversation about Dorit's divorce spirals when it's revealed Amanda once expressed concern—secondhand, via Kyle and Sutton—about Dorit discussing PK's alcoholism publicly. As Dorit presses Amanda for clarity, Amanda breaks down, revealing this is the anniversary of her son's death. The table goes silent. The timing is brutal. The room is mortified.Amanda leaves the party in tears, saying she just wants to go home and hug her husband. Kathy Hilton steps in, urging Dorit to apologize. Dorit tries—but Amanda asks not to be touched. The episode ends with emotional wreckage, unresolved tension, and the reminder that sometimes reality TV gets a little too real.https://www.theculleystrongfoundation.com/https://www.nami.org/Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

In this episode I am joined by British occultists, authors, and creative collaborators Alan Chapman and Duncan Barford. Alan and Duncan reflect on their decades of shared magickal practice and creative collaboration. They recall their first meeting at the secret society the “Illuminates of Thanateros” and muse on the gatekeeping and status games of the Chaos magick scene. They explain why they feel their emphasis on awakening and association with Buddhist writer and self-proclaimed arhat Daniel Ingram has contributed to their being shunned by leading figures in British occultism. Alan and Duncan take a deep dive into their controversial new understanding of Aleister Crowley, address criticism levelled at them, and reveal the idealogical mistake that drove Alan to withdraw one of his biggest public projects. Alan and Duncan also share their current practices, detail how to develop visionary capability, give their best understanding about how magick really works, and offer their advice for those who wish to enter the path of Western occultism. … Video: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep345-magick-awakening-crowley-alan-chapman-duncan-barford Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:13 - Meeting at an occult secret society 06:29 - Formative experiences of group magick 07:36 - Should you join the IoT? 07:53 - The importance of group magick 08:19 - Timidity in magickal practice 10:20 - What does magick have to do with enlightenment? 12:03 - Jealousy in spiritual circles 14:38 - Peter Carroll vs Neoplatonism 17:11 - Alan and Duncan's contribution to Chaos Magick 19:07 - Feuds between religionists 20:33 - What kind of person is drawn to Chaos Magick? 22:25 - Gatekeeping and status games 23:10 - The best thing about Chaos Magicians 25:45 - Bad uses of Chaos Magick 28:38 - Being ignored by the magickal community 29:24 - Why were Alan and Duncan ignored? 30:!4 - Controversial association with Daniel Ingram 31:54 - Why did Peter Carroll dislike Alan and Duncan? 33:01 - How to understand magickal results and synchronicities 36:46 - How Duncan's practice has changed over time 40:13- Awakening and the structure of things 43:16 - Alan's current practice 43:57 - The everyday as a basis 45:07 - How to get started in magick 52:35 - Permission and confidence 53:41 - Developing visionary capability 54:55 - Alan's understanding of the path 01:00:32 - Pinnacle of practical magick 01:01:46 - Duncan's Goddess vision 01:03:14 - The basis of the path 01:07:50 - How magick works 01:09:00 - Criticism of Alan abandoning projects 01:16:14 - Sigmund Freud 01:16:57 - Why do people criticise Alan? 01:18:56 - One thing that really annoys Alan 01:20:53 - Resentment and psychological shadow 01:22:43 - Malevolence and denying enlightenment 01:29:26 - A dark occult conference experience 01:31:20 - Envy and counter-initiation 01:33:51 - Creative journey 01:35:49 - The toxic belief in cultural progress 01:39:38 - Ken Wilber's Integral Theory 01:41:10 - Daniel Ingram's pivot to science 01:42:19 - The spirit of the times 01:44:08 - Realising cultural chauvinism 01:49:53 - Desire to do something else 01:51:30 - Source of many problems 01:53:23 - The Crowley project 02:01:15 - Alan's academic approach 02:03:53 - Legal challenges 02:06:34 - Crowley on Chinese wisdom 02:09:05 - Dao De Jing 02:17:24 - Misunderstandings about the Dao De Jing 02:19:03 - Jung's (mis?)undersanding of Asian classics 02:21:06 - Western alchemy and spirit writing 02:23:19 - Two kinds of researchers 02:290:02 - Life of Aleister Crowley 02:31:28 - The Inner Church 02:33:28 - The Bornless Rite 02:35:18 - The Book of the Law 02:45:24 - Crossing the abyss 02:47:39 - Mad or enlightened? 02:52:20 - Liber 31 02:53:53 - Crowley's failures 02:55:57 - Jung and Philip K Dick 02:56:41 - Controversial take on Crowley 03:00:48 - Why follow Crowley's path?

Crossing Beyond Maya through Surrender – Part 2: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.14 by Swami Mukundananda In this episode, Swamiji continues his discourse on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 14, Part 2, where Shree Krishna declares: “This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who surrender unto Me cross beyond it.” Swamiji explains that Maya is daivi—God's own divine energy—and therefore impossible to conquer by intellect, strength, or worldly success. Even the most brilliant minds remain bound if they rely on ego and effort alone. The only way to transcend Maya is through complete surrender to God. He illustrates this truth with the example of Meera Bai, who fearlessly gave up worldly comforts, reputation, and security for her love of Krishna. Her unwavering devotion made Maya powerless, showing that when the heart belongs entirely to God, worldly illusions lose their grip. Swamiji emphasizes that true bhakti is not conditional or bargaining—it is wholehearted belonging to the Divine. The key teaching is that liberation is not achieved by personal power but by grace. When the soul humbly surrenders, God Himself lifts it beyond Maya's influence. This verse inspires seekers to cultivate humility, devotion, and surrender, recognizing that only by God's mercy can one cross over this divine energy and attain freedom. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on mind management. He is the founder of JKYog, holds distinguished degrees from IIT and IIM, and is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. He has been sharing Vedic wisdom globally for decades.

Romans 8:26 (NIV) “…The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Not all prayer has to have words. Sometimes we just need to quiet ourselves before God. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psa 46:10). And just be cognizant that the Spirit of God is interceding for us even without words.

Sound designers Zach Schneider and Luke Guenot unpack how car sounds, smoke bombs, voices on the wind, and even silence itself shaped Jules Kendall’s journey in “Crossing the Line” and “On the Edge.” Plus, hear a preview of the upcoming adventure, “Now Hiring.”
A surprise hire and a locked-down search The Detroit Lions named Drew Petzing their offensive coordinator, and almost no one saw it coming. Allen Park kept airtight operational security. No leaks. No whispers about interviews. Then the news hit. Reaction came fast. Arizona corners of Reddit and Twitter called it a mistake that could cost Dan Campbell his job. Hot takes piled up. The Detroit Lions Podcast pushed back on the rush to judgment. Skepticism is fair. Certainty is not. Why Petzing, and why now Michael Grey laid out the tension. After the John Morton experience and what went down with Anthony Lynn, a healthy dose of skepticism is earned. Petzing's resume does not blow you away. That is the rub. If Campbell steps to the podium and says this hire checks every box, that he wants to build an offense with this coach at the helm, then the path is clear. If you believe it, you do it. Still, the question hangs in the air: with this Detroit Lions offense built to run like a supercar, was this the driver you had to have today? The staff could have waited. The staff could have chased a coordinator with a more proven track record. Instead, they chose their guy now. What Arizona tendencies say The show pointed to a graphic on 2024 receiving yards by route. When the Arizona Cardinals offense was healthy, Marvin Harrison led the league in crossing-route yards. The screen game was also a featured piece under Petzing. That lands with a thud in Detroit after a rough year for screens. It still offers clues. Expect crossing concepts. Expect screens. Expect a clear identity when it's rolling. There was another wrinkle. The Cardinals' offense fell off before James Conner got hurt. The loss of offensive line coach Clayton Adams, who left for Dallas, was felt. In Detroit, that underscores how vital Hank Fraley is to everything the Lions do up front. Campbell's bet and the personnel hints The hosts kicked around possible shifts to more 12 and 13 personnel. That would track with a physical approach and a coordinator willing to lean into tight ends. Maybe Petzing in Arizona had a tough hand. Kyler Murray's situation. Bidwell ownership. All of it. Maybe the fit in Detroit unlocks more. Maybe not. The Detroit Lions Podcast kept it honest: no doom calls, no instant coronations. Just questions and concrete markers to watch. Campbell will have to own this hire. He will call Petzing collaborative and one of their guys. Then the work starts. Scheme must meet personnel. Crossing routes must become explosives. Screens must stop being giveaways. The NFL does not wait. Neither will Detroit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3cswm3kJBI #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #drewpetzing #dancampbell #arizonacardinals #thegreyarea #marvinharrison #crossingroutes #screengame #12personnel #13personnel #hankfraley #claytonadams #jamesconner #kylermurray #anthonylynn #johnmorton #allenparkopsec Learn more about your ad choices.

CROSSING THE DELAWARE AND THE VICTORY AT TRENTON Colleague Patrick O'Donnell. On Christmas night 1776, Washington launched a surprise attack on Trenton requiring a crossing of the ice-choked Delaware River. O'Donnell explains that only the diverse Marblehead Regiment, which included African American and Hispanicsoldiers, possessed the skill to navigate the treacherous waters. Once across, Glover's men secured a decisive tactical advantage by capturing the Assunpink Creek bridge, trapping the Hessian forces. The segment notes that future president James Monroe was severely wounded during the battle and saved by a volunteer doctor. NUMBER 61876
