World War III is the greatest of all, and it is the war for the victorious vision. He who tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. The vision of a good and beautiful world of Abraham evolved into a vision of "Light for the nations and faith in redemption". Hope and confidence in a better future are the connection to the Divine Presence that creates the strength to overcome the great noise of hatred, anger, despair and separation that is all around us.

התוכן רצונו של הקב"ה הוא שהעולם כולו יהי' דירה לו ית'. הפירוש האמיתי של "דירה" הוא ע"ד ובדוגמת דירת האדם – ששם נמצא ומתגלה בכל עצמותו, עד שגם כאשר נמצא במקום אחר ה"ה חושב אודות דירתו, שלכן, גם אז נמצא הוא – בפנימיות ובאמיתיות – בדירתו. וזהו תפקידו של יהודי – לעשות מכל ענין שבעוה"ז דירה לו ית'. והקב"ה נותן את הכחות שבכל מקום ובכל זמן – בין בסתם יום חול ובין ביום כמו יוהכ"פ – יוכל כל אחד, בתור חלק מכלל ישראל, לפעול את הענין ד"ושכנתי בתוכם" ע"ד ובדוגמת התגלות השכינה בקודש-הקדשים ביוהכ"פ ע"י עבודת הקטורת של הכה"ג! (אע"פ שאי-אפשר לדמות העבודה ברשות הרבים להעבודה של כה"ג ביוהכ"פ או יהודי בביהכנ"ס).ב' חלקים משיחת ליל ג' פ' פינחס, ט"ו תמוז ה'תשמ"ו – ביחידות כללית להאורחים שיחיו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-08-2026 Synopsis Hashem desires that the entire world become a home for Him. A true home is where a person's essence is expressed; even when he is somewhere else, he is thinking about home, and therefore deep down that is where he really is. And this is a Jew's mission – to turn every aspect of this world into a true home for Hashem. He empowers us to do so in every place and time; whether on an ordinary weekday or on a day like Yom Kippur, every Jew can bring to fruition the verse, “I will dwell among them” – in a way that resembles the revelation of the Divine Presence in the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur through the service of the Ketores offered by the Kohen Gadol.2 excerpts from sichah of Monday night, parashas Pinchas, 15 Tammuz 5746 – in Yechidus Klalis for out-of-town visitors For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-08-2026

Blog 1378 (11.3.2024)Is creation complete, or is it still unfolding through each of us? In this episode, we reflect on two profound teachings that invite us to see evolution not only as the progression of civilizations, but as the continual awakening of the soul. As humanity gathers the wisdom of the ages, we are reminded that lasting transformation begins within.The second discourse turns our attention inward, encouraging us to meet life's challenges with vigilance, spiritual discipline, and unwavering devotion to the Divine Presence. Rather than becoming entangled in fear or outer appearances, we are invited to cultivate purity of heart, release limiting patterns, and allow the Sacred Fire of Divine Love to transform our thoughts, feelings, and actions.Genesis chapters 1 and 2, verses 1 thru 13, KJVThe Goal of Life, Hiram Butler, 1908 - Chapter V (Evolution)The "I AM" Discourses

SHALOK, THIRD MEHL:In egotism, the world is dead; it dies and dies, again and again. As long as there is breath in the body, he does not remember God; what will he do when he goes beyond? One who remembers the Lord is spiritually wise; the ignorant act blindly. O Nanak, whatever one does in this world determines what he shall receive in the world beyond. || 1 || THIRD MEHL: It is the pre-ordained Command of the Lord and Master, that one cannot be conscious of Him without the True Guru. Meeting the True Guru, one realizes that the Lord is permeating and pervading deep within; he remains forever absorbed in the Lords Love. With each and every breath, he constantly remembers the Lord in meditation; not a single breath passes in vain. The fear of birth and death departs, and one obtains the honored state of eternal life. O Nanak, this rank is bestowed upon those whom He showers with His Mercy. || 2 || PAUREE: He Himself is all-wise and all-knowing; He Himself is supreme. He Himself reveals His form, and He Himself enjoins us to His meditation. He Himself poses as a silent sage, and He Himself speaks spiritual wisdom. He does not seem bitter to anyone; He is pleasing to all. His Praises cannot be described; I am forever and ever a sacrifice to Him. || 19 ||Here is a concise summary and breakdown of the provided passage from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in English:Central ThemeThis passage emphasizes the spiritual danger of ego (Haumai), the essential role of the True Guru (Satguru) in attaining spiritual awareness, and the omnipresence and divine sovereignty of God.Key Takeaways1. Salok Mahala 3 (Part 1): The Trap of Ego & Self-AwarenessSpiritual Blindness: The world suffers spiritual ruin because people remain trapped in ego (Haumai). As long as individuals have breath, they forget God and fail to consider the consequences of their actions in the afterlife.The Wise vs. The Ignorant: A spiritually wise person (Giani) stays conscious and alert, whereas an spiritually ignorant person continues to perform mindless, egotistical actions.Law of Karma: What a person earns spiritually/ethically in this life directly determines what they receive in the afterlife.2. Salok Mahala 3 (Part 2): The Need for the True GuruDivine Decree: It is an eternal law that God cannot be truly remembered or realized without the guidance of the True Guru (Satguru).Mindful Devotion: Upon meeting the Guru, God resides in the heart, allowing a person to stay continuously attuned to the Divine—remembering God with every single breath.Liberation: Through this constant remembrance, the fear of birth and death disappears, bestowing the true status of eternal life.Grace: Achieving this spiritual status is purely a gift granted through God's divine grace and will (Raza).3. Pauri 19: The Omnipresent DivineAll-Encompassing Nature: God Himself is the all-knowing, wise leader who manifests in all forms, practices deep meditation, maintains silence, and speaks divine wisdom.Universal Love: God is universally beloved in all His various manifestations and brings bitterness to no one.Limitless Glory: Human speech is incapable of fully describing God's greatness, warranting endless devotion and surrender.

As Jews around the world mark Tisha B'Av and mourn the destruction of the First and Second Temples, something profound is happening in our time. We in Israel are no longer only remembering destruction. We are living the process of redemption.Just a few years ago, only a small number of Jews were allowed to ascend the Temple Mount at any given time. Jewish prayer and song were strictly forbidden. We were forbidden from drinking from the water fountains on the Temple Mount. Muslim rioters regularly harassed visitors and tried to block any strengthening of the Jewish connection to our holiest site in Jerusalem — Har HaBayit.That reality is slowly but steadily changing. More Jews are now ascending the Temple Mount in accordance with Jewish law. More are praying, singing, and reconnecting with the place where the Divine Presence once dwelled and will dwell again. The greatest shift, however, is not only in the regulations. It is in the consciousness of the Jewish people.An increasing number of Jews now understand that the rebuilding of the Third Temple is not a distant dream or purely religious aspiration. It is our national destiny. The Temple is far more than a house of worship. It is the national home for God's Presence among the Jewish people, the place from which we are meant to bring knowledge of God, morality, and holiness to all humanity.Just as we trust God's wisdom in the commandments of Shabbat and kashrut, we can trust His command to build His House in our homeland, in Jerusalem. Redemption is not a single event. It is a process, and by God's grace, we are privileged to be living through it.May we soon merit to see the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, the Third Temple, speedily in our days.If this message resonates with you, please like, share, and subscribe.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What does it mean to feel God's love through another person?In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, Jerry L. Martin reflects on an early moment in his relationship with God, when he was asked to “enter My heart.” The request frightened him, and when he asked for help, God answered: “Let Abigail love you. Feel My love through her.”That experience leads Jerry to explore how divine love becomes real through romantic love, family love, friendship, intimacy, tenderness, and human connection. Jerry considers the transcendent quality of love, the presence of God within our closest relationships, and the possibility that loving others is one of the deepest ways we become partners with God.Listen for a thoughtful reflection on God's love, spiritual intimacy, and the sacred power of loving and being loved.Get the books:Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial AgeGod: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher***Continue the conversation with Ultimate Questions on calling, divine guidance, and how we recognize what is ours to do:https://substack.com/@ultimatequestions***Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comUltimate Questions SubstackGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically PersonalShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Christopher Mack shares his final message as a pastor on staff at Vox. He picks up Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and Weeds to challenge ourselves personally and communally to participate in God's wholeness. [Matthew 13:24-30]   Reflection Questions   When was a recent ‘aha!' moment, when you awakened to Divine Presence already-present to your one wild, perplexing, challenging, and beautiful life? Where are you mercilessly fighting against imperfection, yours and the world's? How might you practice giving thanks as a way of getting unstuck from resentment and despair?

Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. This is our annual Father's Day episode. We want to start off by wishing all of the fathers, stepfather's, soon to be fathers, and father figures, a wonderful day and blessings to come. We go briefly around the horn and discuss Father's Day family celebrations, road trip planning, rental car tips, graduations, and new jobs. Plus a quick but educational difference on two Italian desserts.The recovery segment is all about navigating fatherhood in sobriety. Dan discusses what life was like having a child before he got sober, juxtaposing that with having another child a few years after he got sober. The three of us talk about the joys of being dads and what we love the most. We also talk about how difficult it can be to be a first time father, especially in early sobriety. How a spiritual foundation and good support network is invaluable. We end the segment and the show with a couple of quick hitter questions designed to be fun and lighthearted about being a father and advice we would give to new fathers."Heaven is that perfect state of consciousness in which one is in full realization of the Divine Presence." -Emmet Fox-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Together, we dive into the beauty of inner guidance, spiritual presence, and the subtle ways life invites us into deeper trust, healing, and alignment. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover the sacred intelligence that exists within us all — reminding us that empowerment often begins the moment we become still enough to hear our soul speak.

Send us Fan MailPodcast OverviewPodcast: Women's Power to Heal Mother Earth PodcastHost: Maya TiwariSeason 4: New Earth  Episode 232Title: "We are Going Home - Love is the Way"This episode serves as an urgent spiritual rally cry, declaring that Earth is undergoing a massive, unstoppable cosmic activation and consciousness shift. Host Maya Tiwari guides listeners to look past the chaotic, simulated distractions of the "3D matrix" and instead anchor themselves into their inner sovereignty, unconditional love, and connection to Mother Earth. The core message is clear: We are at a critical evolutionary juncture, and the only way to win this spiritual battle is by raising our inner frequency.Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Cosmic Activation & The 3D MatrixThe Cosmic Shockwave: The Central Sun is emitting a powerful wave of consciousness to trigger humanity's "Awakening Remembering." While this marks the most difficult time in human existence, it will ultimately eviscerate the "dross" (negativity/fear) and leave behind a brilliant, abundant New Earth.The Trap of the Matrix: The current global systems, political maneuvers, and horrific events are described as a "grotesque theatre" and a strategically simulated "shock and awe" script. These are engineered to keep humanity trapped in fear, causing people to surrender their power to external controllers.2. Reclaiming Sovereignty and Resisting DistractionNo Time to Waste: Humanity cannot afford to wait another 26,000 years for the next ascension window. Listeners are urged to stop wasting precious time and energy on prolonged social engagements, divisive politics, and working for greedy systems that strip the Earth of her dignity.Our One True Task: We must stop feeding the unholy system, release our attachment to the current reality, and awaken to our individual sovereignty and communal divinity.3. Spiritual Warfare Through Inner PeaceThe Way of the Warrior: Lightworkers are not here to force the timing or control the outcome of this shift. This battle is won strictly through the internal space of balance, human conscience, and bypassing 3D noise to achieve "vertical coherence."Grief as a Clearing: The severe losses people are currently facing—including health, jobs, and loved ones—are recognized as part of the painful but necessary clearing of old energy to make way for the light.4. Tools for Instant AlignmentThe episode emphasizes simplifying spiritual and daily routines, urging listeners to command their intelligently designed body and mind using immediate, practical tools:Intention and affirmationsSound frequency musicConscious breathingThe "I AM" Heart Alignment PracticeListeners are invited to place a hand over their heart, feel the Divine Presence, and declare: "I reclaim my I AM Presence and allow the stream of nature's force of love and prana to flow through me, into my memory. I recognize I am always nourished and supported by her abundance."Final Cosmic MessageThe shift is already in motion; higher frequency codes for Ascension are fully activated. The episode concludes with a comforting message from Zorrion of the Sirian High Council, reminding humanity of the field of love waiting for them.

Today, Michael speaks with Oneika Mays. Oneika is a meditation teacher, yoga practitioner, and writer whose work centers on mindfulness, loving kindness, and compassionate living. After leaving a successful career in retail leadership following profound personal loss and transformation, she spent more than a decade bringing meditation and healing practices into spaces often overlooked—working with individuals and communities who have felt judged, forgotten, or alone, leading her to working on Rikers Island with incarcerated individuals. Her book, Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation, explores grief, self-compassion, unconditional friendliness, and the courage it takes to truly face yourself. Conversation Highlights Include: -How profound loss, career upheaval, and a canceled wedding became the catalyst for a completely different way of living. -Choosing discomfort and transformation over staying trapped in a life that no longer felt aligned or authentic. -A deeply honest reflection on grief, and learning to hold sadness and joy at the same time without denying either experience. -Why asking better questions creates expansion, self-awareness, and curiosity instead of emotional shutdown and certainty. -An invitation to "sit with yourself" by meeting discomfort, shame, fear, and uncertainty with tenderness instead of avoidance. -How real freedom often begins in the moments we stop running from difficult emotions and allow ourselves to fully feel them. -A powerful conversation about loving people you may never agree with, like, or understand, while still recognizing their humanity. -What more than a decade of teaching meditation inside Rikers Island revealed about judgment, compassion, trauma, and human connection. -An honest look at prison systems, accountability, restorative healing, and why true transformation requires support beyond punishment. Next, Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on introspection, remembering your True nature, awakening to Divine Presence, and living from expanded awareness.

Nathan Meckley shares about Pentecost's message of direct experience of the Divine and the Quaker understandings of the Inner Teacher and Spirit-led faith. Quaker tradition prioritizes direct spiritual experience and direct guidance of the Inner Teacher available to all. What role does this direct experience have in your life? "What canst thou say?" (George Fox) What change happens in the wake of the direct experience? Freedom? Comfort? Empowerment? Insight?... During waiting worship, consider opening to experiencing Divine Presence in ways beyond those most familiar - or comfortable - for you.

Join us this Sunday as we explore how Divine Presence expresses through our compassion, wisdom, courage, and love — and how awakening those gifts can transform both our lives and the world around us.

The tabernacle wasn't designed by committee — every measurement, every furnishing, every detail was a blueprint from heaven itself. Rabbi Kirt Schneider, host of Discovering the Jewish Jesus, joins Brian From to unpack his new book The Mystery of the Tabernacle: Ancient Secrets for Experiencing the Divine Presence, and the conversation is one you won't want to rush. The fence with one entrance. The brazen altar and the transfer of sin. The brass laver made from mirrors, and what it means to let the Spirit show you who you really are. Rabbi Schneider makes the case that understanding the Hebrew roots of the faith isn't just an academic exercise — it's what solidifies your confidence that Jesus is the only way, especially in a cultural moment when even many Christians are quietly beginning to doubt it. A rich, fast conversation that barely scratches the surface. Pick up The Mystery of the Tabernacle wherever books are sold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stop praying from your mind and start communing with the Divine through your heart to tap into the TRUEST power of prayer.  While many people approach the power of prayer from an ordinary state of consciousness, simply reciting words can often feel devoid of power. To experience a true miracle prayer, you must move beyond the intellect and access a direct communion of the heart with Heaven. This is the secret of the mystic Centering Prayer. Silence is God's first language... everything else is a poor translation. Centering Prayer is an ancient practice used by mystics like St. John of the Cross to align with the Divine Presence. It is not about "asking" for a result; it is about consenting to the presence and action of God within you. When you align your frequency with the Divine, the "everything" in your life begins to change from the inside out. Want to experience the shift? Quiet your mind, open your heart, and join me in this practice of resting in the Divine. You don't need complex words to experience a miracle; you simply need to center, connect, and consent to the Light within. Perfect for a morning prayer or evening prayer, or really any time to reconnect with the Divine and empower Divine Will and Love to harmonize all areas of your life.  Need support dropping into your heart?  Check out my video on How to Open Your Heart Chakra here: • www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zjyr6MAHrY Explore more prayers here on my YouTube channel: • www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTm5Y1kz4OE&list=PLlTL1Se_ot6JOmdSsg6nWpepGJDp2EY1A&index=2 Background meditation music in this video by Music Of Wisdom - Licensed from www.meditationmusiclibrary.com Hour track of this music to support deepening in your centering prayer here:  • www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kJlmbsCWo&t=160s ☀️

The way we walk through the world matters. Far too often, we move through our days feeling unworthy of taking up space. We feel the need to apologize for our presence rather than stepping into the brilliance that our souls yearn to express. So how to we connect with something deeper? We must choose to tap into our divine presence; the force that knows the true value of our souls. When we walk in this light, we lead with power and presence beyond measure. As we listen to the raindrops fall, reflect on the ways that you move through life. Are you ready to walk tall? No apologies. What am I reading?The Astral Library by Kate Quinnhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063244788Cheese Magic by Erika Kubick, illustrated by Devon Forsthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780762489633https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat is playing on repeat?Supersonic by OasisWhat is for dinner?Savory Oats BowlIngredients: OatsCheddar cheeseNutritional yeastOlive oil  Fried eggsSweet potatoesBrussels sprouts or spinach AvocadoPickled onionsFresh dillCrunchy chili oil Salt & pepper Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Parshas Vayakhel & Pekudei: The Altar Within As we conclude Sefer Shemos, the Mishkan is finally completed and the Divine Presence descends among the Jewish people.  Yet within the Mishkan stands a mystery. Unlike the other sacred vessels, the two altars cannot become ritually impure. Why are they different? Drawing on the Gemara and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this episode reveals a powerful insight: the altar represents the deepest point within every Jew, a place that can never become spiritually impure. 

Parshas Terumah: Gold and Grain The Mishkan is built from gold, wood, and precious stones. But at its center stand two vessels that mirror each other: the Aron and the Shulchan. One holds the Torah from Heaven. The other holds bread made by human hands. This episode explores why the Shulchan was crowned like the Aron, and what it teaches about the balance between Torah and parnassah. Drawing on Rashi and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we uncover a powerful truth: material life and spiritual purpose are not rivals. When aligned, they become one structure capable of holding the Divine Presence.

In this episode we address our legalistic tendencies and the "not enough" mentality we can so easily adopt. We see how Jesus Christ is our only Source of confidence in the presence of God.Other episodes referenced in this one:Episode 131: We have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:17-20)Scriptures referenced:Romans 12:2Galatians 2:16, 21John 14:15Galatians 3:2-3John 3:16Hebrews 11:12 Corinthians 5:72 Corinthians 5:17James 2:17-19Galatians 2:20Romans 3:23Hebrews 4:14-161 Timothy 2:5-6Hebrews 10:19-23Matthew 27:50-51Ephesians 3:7-12Matthew 5:3Romans 5:1-2Ephesians 2:182 Peter 3:8-9Luke 15:20-24Ephesians 2:8-102 Corinthians 5:21Galatians 6:2Hebrews 12:5-11Romans 12:18Feel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).

On today's page, Zevachim 102, the Gemara suggests that Moses was too preoccupied with the Divine Presence to fulfill a basic priestly duty. Israeli rabbi Avihud Schwartz unpacks why that startling answer explains not just Moses's role, but Judaism's broader vision of sanctity.
