Podcasts about deliberations

All of us here are conscious. If you notice, when you look around, you can see somebody, and you feel that somebody's looking back at you. There's a conscious being there. You look at the wall; you don't get the same experience, because there's no consciousness in the wall, but there is within each one of our bodies. And as Krishna describes in the Bhagavad Gītā, we are conscious beings—a person. A person is a conscious entity, and we inhabit a body. It's not that we are the body; we inhabit the body. And the superior energy, Krishna describes in the Bhagavad Gītā, is all of the conscious beings in this world who are inside a material body, which is an apparatus through which we can engage with the lower energies in the world. For instance, I have eyes, and I can touch the objects of my eyes, the light, and it comes back to me in different forms and shapes, and it gets interpreted by my brain. I can be aware of the shapes and colors of the world, and that goes for all the different senses. However, the difference is important because when we're taking conscious control of our life, The Bhagavad Gītā describes how we must be deliberate in what we do. To do that, we have to deliberate. Deliberation is one of the processes that leads to spiritual enlightenment. If you think of the word "deliberate," everyone say it, please. I should say, I don't mean to be so demanding. You might notice a word within the word "deliberate," which is "Libra." Have you ever heard "Libra"? I was born on September twenty- seventh, so I am a Libra according to the Sun calendar. And what is the sign of Libra? Any Libras in here? Alright, it's a pan scale. There are two sides. You put something on one side or the other, and then you can, for instance, put a cauliflower on one side, if you go to the Green Market, and you put a weight on the other side. When it balances out, you can tell how much it weighs. So, "deliberate"—there's a way in which one should weigh out the consequences of what we do. That's one of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gītā. It sounds rather simple, but how do we do that? One of the ways we start is by understanding the different categories of energy. So, let me give you an example of how this applies or can apply in our lives. We're taking conscious control of our life. In the Bhagavad Gītā, Krishna mentions that.. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Jurors in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs are set to begin deliberations on Monday, June 30, marking the final and most consequential phase of a case that has gripped both the entertainment world and the legal community. After seven weeks of testimony—including 34 prosecution witnesses, graphic accounts of abuse from women like Cassie Ventura and “Jane,” and surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Cassie in 2016—the case now shifts entirely to the jury's interpretation of the facts. The 12 jurors, made up of eight men and four women, will return to court to receive final legal instructions before beginning deliberations behind closed doors. No witnesses were called by the defense, and Combs himself did not testify. Instead, his team focused on cross-examining the accusers and portraying the case as one built on exaggeration, greed, and consensual behavior taken out of context.The jury now faces the task of evaluating five serious federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution under the Mann Act. Legal analysts note that while the Mann Act charges are more straightforward, the racketeering and trafficking counts involve far more complex determinations—requiring the jury to weigh consent versus coercion, patterns of control, and the credibility of the women who testified. The deliberations could last days or even longer, depending on how sharply divided the panel is on interpreting the law and the evidence. At stake is the question of whether one of the most powerful figures in modern music will face decades—if not life—in prison, or walk away vindicated after one of the most sensational celebrity trials in years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:At the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Trial, Jurors Are Ready to Deliberate - The New York Times

The government rebuttal concluded with prosecutor Maurene Comey imploring jurors to find Sean Combs guilty and lauding his alleged victims for coming forward with “overwhelming evidence.” “The defendant never thought the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done with him,” Comey argued. “For 20 years, the defendant got away with his crimes. That ends in this courtroom.” Comey told the jury the violence between Combs and "Jane" at her home in June 2024 represented the most “clear cut” example of sex trafficking in the entire case. The defense suggested "Jane" instigated it to use it later against Combs, knowing he was under criminal investigation. Comey said there was no evidence of that. Court is adjourned, the jury was sent home with instructions not to discuss the case. The jury returns 9 a.m. ET Monday for the judge's charge and deliberations. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pastor Lynn preaches the message, "Dangerous Deliberation, Part 2." "Deliberation" is defined as "long and careful consideration; slow and careful movement or thought." When the Lord teaches us to obey Him, it is a layered process of change over time. The Lord addresses one area in our lives, and then another, building our spiritual muscles and changing us to be more like Him. This is called "spiritual growth, and maturity" or "sanctification." Pastor Lynn presents things that get in the way of our deliberation, calling out some of the excuses we make for why we choose not to obey Him fully. This message will have very practical applications to help us in our deliberations so that we can move towards maturity in our relationship with Christ!

Teen, Joseph Koenig, Convicted of Murder For Dropping Boulders Off Busy Overpass Jurors in Jefferson County needed barely two hours Friday morning to convict Joseph Koenig of first-degree murder for hurling a landscaping rock through the windshield of Alexa Bartell's moving car, killing the 20-year-old as she drove near Arvada in April 2023. Deliberations began late Thursday and resumed at 9 a.m.; by 10:45, the panel had returned guilty verdicts on every one of the 19 counts Koenig faced. Koenig, now 19, stood accused not only of Bartell's murder but of unleashing a late-night rock-throwing spree that terrorized motorists across northwest metro Denver. Prosecutors charged him with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder for the other cars struck, three counts of second-degree assault, and six counts of attempted second-degree assault. While the jury found Koenig guilty on each allegation, several counts were reduced under Colorado law. Last week jurors heard from nearly two dozen witnesses, including victims who recalled the sudden shatter of glass and the panic of losing control at highway speed. The most damning testimony came from Koenig's two friends—Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak—who took plea deals and told the jury Koenig threw the fatal rock. The defense pounced on Karol-Chik's earlier statement to police suggesting Kwak hurled the final stone, but both men insisted on the stand that Koenig was responsible for Bartell's death. Koenig himself never testified. Instead, defense lawyers called Laurence Steinberg, a Temple University adolescent-brain researcher, to argue that impulsivity and Koenig's ADHD lessened his culpability. Deputy District Attorney Katharine Decker countered in a pointed cross-examination, pressing Steinberg to acknowledge that teenagers can still foresee lethal consequences. Koenig was a high school senior at the time of the incident. Originally scheduled for trial last summer, the case was postponed for a court-ordered mental-health evaluation after Koenig's attorneys cited an ADHD diagnosis and borderline personality disorder. Closing arguments Thursday distilled the stakes: prosecutors said Koenig acted “knowingly and intentionally,” while defense attorney Martin Stuart asked jurors to convict only of reckless manslaughter—calling his client “guilty of a crime, but not murder.” Evidence showed that Koenig, Karol-Chik, and Kwak circled back to the crash scene on April 19, 2023, photographing Bartell's disabled Chevy Spark instead of checking on her or dialing 911. That callous post-attack behavior, prosecutors argued, underscored Koenig's indifference to human life. After the verdict, Bartell's mother, Kelly, stood outside the courthouse clutching a framed photo of her daughter. “These have been the hardest two years of our lives, but we got justice today,” she said through tears. “It doesn't bring Alexa back, and that's horrible. But we hope no family ever has to live this nightmare again.” District Court Judge Mark Randall set Koenig's sentencing for June 3 at 8:30 a.m. Victims and relatives will be allowed to address the court before penalties are imposed; a first-degree murder conviction in Colorado carries an automatic life sentence with the possibility of parole after 40 years. Karol-Chik and Kwak, who pleaded guilty last year to lesser charges—including second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted assault—are scheduled to learn their fates on May 1 and May 2, respectively Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Instead, defense lawyers called Laurence Steinberg, a Temple University adolescent-brain researcher, to argue that impulsivity and Koenig's ADHD lessened his culpability. Deputy District Attorney Katharine Decker countered in a pointed cross-examination, pressing Steinberg to acknowledge that teenagers can still foresee lethal consequences. Koenig was a high school senior at the time of the incident. Originally scheduled for trial last summer, the case was postponed for a court-ordered mental-health evaluation after Koenig's attorneys cited an ADHD diagnosis and borderline personality disorder. Closing arguments Thursday distilled the stakes: prosecutors said Koenig acted “knowingly and intentionally,” while defense attorney Martin Stuart asked jurors to convict only of reckless manslaughter—calling his client “guilty of a crime, but not murder.” Evidence showed that Koenig, Karol-Chik, and Kwak circled back to the crash scene on April 19, 2023, photographing Bartell's disabled Chevy Spark instead of checking on her or dialing 911. That callous post-attack behavior, prosecutors argued, underscored Koenig's indifference to human life. After the verdict, Bartell's mother, Kelly, stood outside the courthouse clutching a framed photo of her daughter. “These have been the hardest two years of our lives, but we got justice today,” she said through tears. “It doesn't bring Alexa back, and that's horrible. But we hope no family ever has to live this nightmare again.” District Court Judge Mark Randall set Koenig's sentencing for June 3 at 8:30 a.m. Victims and relatives will be allowed to address the court before penalties are imposed; a first-degree murder conviction in Colorado carries an automatic life sentence with the possibility of parole after 40 years. Karol-Chik and Kwak, who pleaded guilty last year to lesser charges—including second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted assault—are scheduled to learn their fates on May 1 and May 2, respectively Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This Sunday Pastor Lynn preaches the message, "Dangerous Deliberation." "Deliberation" is defined as "long and careful consideration; slow and careful movement or thought." When the Lord teaches us to obey Him, it is a layered process of change over time. The Lord addresses one area in our lives, and then another, building our spiritual muscles and changing us to be more like Him. This is called "spiritual growth, and maturity" or "sanctification." In this message, Pastor Lynn will present things that get in the way of our deliberation, calling out some of the excuses we make for why we choose not to obey Him fully. This message will have very practical applications to help us in our deliberations so that we can move towards maturity in our relationship with Christ!

The topic of this episode is a recent book that is titled, Congressional Deliberation: Major Debates, Speeches, and Writings 1774-2023 (Hackett 2024). The book is edited by Jordan T. Cash, a professor at James Madison College at Michigan State University, and by Kevin J. Burns, a professor at Benedictine College. As the book's title indicates, its coverage is capacious: the very first excerpt comes from John Adams' diary entries on the debates in the continental Congress, which he wrote in 1774. The books' very last entry is taken from the debates that led to the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy in 2023.Certainly, I could go on and on about all the parts of the book that fascinate me, but today we're going to do something better than that. I am going to chat with one of the editors, Jordan Cash.Click here to read the full transcript.

This is episode 221, 1863, the midst of the Transvaal Civil War. As you heard in episode 220, this was the making of a new president and one who'd take the Trekker Republics into the 20th Century, albeit in the midst of the Anglo-Boer War. There had been a rapid and real effect — as the farmers took up arms against each other, the Transvaal's economy collapsed. This weakened the government's ability to back up its stated authority. By now the tiny independent States of Lydenburg and Utrecht had joined the Transvaal accepting the authority of the Transvaal. They had been outliers since the trekkers first arrived in those regions, fifteen years earlier. To recap - In 1859, Transvaal President, Marthinus Wessel Pretorius, was invited to stand for President in the Orange Free State, many burghers there now wanted to unify with the Transvaal. They were mainly worried about how to deal with King Moshoeshoe of the Basotho. The Transvaal constitution that he had just enacted made it illegal to hold office abroad, still Pretorius won the Transvaal election, then Volksraad attempted to side-step the constitutional problems by granting Pretorius half-a-year of leave. They hoped some kind of solution would be found — Pretorius left for Bloemfontein and appointed Johannes Hermanus Grobler to be acting president in his absence. Up stepped Stephanus Schoeman from the Marico region who unsuccessfully attempted to use force to supplant Johannes Grobler as acting president. Schoeman believed that the presidency should have been granted to him as the new Transvaal constitution stipulated that in the case of the president's dismissal or death, the presidency should be granted to the oldest member of the Executive Council. Schoeman was three years older than Grobler. Forward fast to 1863, Kruger had defeated Schoeman at a skirmish outside Potchefstroom. He had also managed to convince some of the supporters of rebel in the Heidelberg district to switch sides, and had ridden back to Pretoria with a local farmer of high standing, Jan Marais. There a council of war determined that rebels like Schoeman were taking advantage of a disagreement between the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The two fledgling Boer Republics could not agree on where the boundary lay between them. Transvaal President Van Rensburg duly assigned Kruger the duty of riding to the Free State to settle the question of the border - and he left almost immediately, taking a group of burghers with him as security. Further West, the Marico district was a hotbed of rebel activity and the commandant there, Jan Viljoen, heard about Kruger's mission and organised a commando. On the way to Potch, a spy warned Kruger about what awaited. He changed course, and set off with a small detachment to confront Viljoen while Kruger's 2 IC, Veld kornet Sarel Eloff dashed forward to seize a nearby kopje - the all important high ground. Viljoen is so happened, was also on his way to the very same kopje. One of the aspects of this conflict which is interesting is how Kruger used his spies or messengers as he called them. They were feeding him information daily, information about what Schoeman and Viljoen were up to. The capacity to recon an enemy was one of the defining strengths of the Boer military system, and would be sharpened constantly over the coming century and a half. Folks, there are remarkable resonances in this apparently distant little civil war. When the Union of South Africa was achieved, Bloemfontein was nominated as the seat of the Supreme Court of the union. Cape Town and Pretoria shared power, parliament in Cape Town, Pretoria the seat of government. The Free State is slap bang in the middle — so they got the Supreme Court. These historical instances reflect a legal and political philosophy that, in the aftermath of internal conflict, prioritising national healing through amnesty can be more beneficial than widespread punitive actions.

Now that public hearings are complete, the Joint Finance Committee begins the hard work of crafting the biennial budget with a goal of being done by July 1. Yet partisan disagreements over tax cuts, the impact of federal policies and the state of the economy all have the potential to stall this year's timeline. Democratic […]

The final two public hearings in the state budget process will be held next week in Hayward and Wausau, setting the stage for the Joint Finance Committee to begin crafting its version of the budget. Legislators face unique challenges this year calculating uncertainty about federal funding and any impact tariffs may have on inflation and […]
