This episode was recorded back in January during the Los Angeles wildfires. And yes, we know it's been sitting in our spiritual junk drawer ever since. But consider this a karmic purge because this is the last episode from the archives and we are back on schedule after this! The backlog is fully cleared, the cosmic colonic worked, and our podcast feed has regular movements once again. In this episode, we embrace the chaos of the new year, talk about fire (actual and astrological), and examine why conspiracy theories have gotten dumber than ever. We also get real about personal evolution, sharing a practical framework for identity shifts (where you'll meet our alter egos, Lucky and Tippy) and we discuss what it actually takes to make lasting change when your life feels like it's on fire — figuratively or literally.Inside this episode:The astrology behind the LA fires and why your identity might feel like it's… unzipping itselfA complete evisceration of tunnel-based Hollywood fire conspiraciesWhy manifestation without a plan is just wishful griftingOur new favorite New Year's ritual involving AI and aesthetic phone wallpapersHow to build better habits without hating yourselfThe moment we debut our spiritual alter egos and probably start a whole new religionAlso: practical accountability, dumb TikToks, bad movies, good mindset shifts, and the gentle reminder that even though time is fake, the choices you make with the time you have are very real.From here on out, it's all fresh content. Thanks for sticking with us. Lucky and Tippy are ready. Are you?*******************************About The Serendipity Sessions:We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.*******************************Please rate us 5 stars and leave us a review!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Visit the website and purchase the Scripture Journal for this study so that you can follow along with us. Today, we're looking at Mark 2:18-20: Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. — Mark 2:18-20 People didn't know what to do with Jesus. He wasn't following their religious routines. He wasn't fasting like the Pharisees or even like John's disciples. To the watching crowd, it seemed like Jesus was breaking the rules. But Jesus wasn't breaking rules or ignoring tradition—he was living by God's rule while fulfilling God's plan. In a way, this appeared new to many onlookers. But it wasn't new. It was just lived out completely and perfectly, and not in the way people expected. Then he answered their question using an image they would understand: a wedding feast. No one fasts when the groom is standing in the room. You celebrate. You feast. You enjoy the moment. Jesus was showing them something revolutionary: The Bridegroom was here. The celebration had started. The feast had begun. There would be a time for fasting again, but that time wasn't now. Right now, they were standing in the presence of God made flesh—and that demanded a response of joy. Jesus showed us a better way. No rituals. No checklists. Just joy. Because the bridegroom was here and rose again. Feast. Laugh. Worship. Live every moment in the celebration of his presence. Let that joy fuel your day—and everything you share with others. #BridegroomHere, #FeastNotFast, #Mark2 ASK THIS: How might I shift from religious routine to genuine joy in Jesus today? What “feast” can I create to celebrate Christ's presence in my life? When have I mistaken rituals for relationship in my faith journey? How will I prepare my heart to fast when the bridegroom is away? DO THIS: Today, choose joy over obligation—celebrate Jesus' presence with a smile, song, or shared meal. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I rejoice in your presence as my bridegroom and find freedom in celebrating you. Help me feast on your grace today. Amen PLAY THIS: House of the Lord.

Applying Buddha's Teachings in day-to-day life. "World peace begins with individual peace", "The way to attain harmony and unity is serving the community", "The wheel of karma is inexorable; the best way out of it is to do one's dharma diligently". In this manner, Mr RJ Rathnakar, the Managing Trustee of Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, for over 55 mins, explained the nuances of Buddhism through the teachings of Swami to the hundreds of devotees from Zone 4 and 5 of Sri Sathya Sai Global Council who had gathered in Prasanthi Nilayam to celebrate Buddha Poornima in the Divine Presence of Bhagawan. Interlaced with many profound and humorous anecdotes and insights, Mr Rathnakar dwelt on the themes of "Buddham Sharanam Gachchami, Dhammam Sharanam Gachchami, Sangham Sharanam Gachchami" in an engaging manner, driving home powerful takeaways that devotees can practice in their daily lives to experience inner happiness and always remain connected to Bhagawan. This Satsang is being shared to help everyone in their spiritual journey.

Long time no talk! By talk, we mean screaming into the void. Put your headphones on -- we have a lot of catching up to do. We know. We disappeared. But like any good ghosting situation, we're returning with no explanation… except an entire episode of explanations. In our first episode since January, we blow the dust off our mics and confront who we thought we were before life sideswiped us with plot twists, spiritual detours, and 47 new existential crises.This comeback episode is equal parts cute and chaotic. Featuring six semi-structured segments (plus a fully unhinged AI narrator for no good reason whatsoever), we reflect on how we've changed since January, chew on the ways the world has changed, and hopefully we also make you feel a little bit better if your current bar for thriving is "I cried, but I scheduled it."  Let's all trauma dump together into the abyss and hope the abyss claps back with some clarity, shall we? We're back. We missed you. New episodes are coming regularly. Let the emotional spirals commence. ***************************Podcast & Host Links:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

In this enlightening episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks engage in a profound discussion about the dynamics of the apostles' relationships with Jesus, exploring how these interactions reflect our contemporary relationships with God. The episode begins with an examination of the apostles' journey with Jesus, acknowledging their fluctuating faith and fear, especially during significant moments like the calming of the storm and the events leading up to Good Friday.Joe and Father delve into the innate human tendency to call upon divine intervention only during times of distress, neglecting to recognize and invite God's presence throughout the mundane and joyous aspects of our lives. They challenge listeners to consider how their own relationship with God is similarly compartmentalized, perhaps reduced to moments of desperation or prosperity, rather than an ongoing, integrated communion.Father Boniface emphasizes the importance of fostering a relationship with God that transcends circumstantial need. By drawing parallels between modern practices and the apostles' misconceptions, he highlights how embracing holistic spirituality requires acknowledging God in every facet of daily life—from tasks as simple as schooling and business to profound life decisions and moments of crisis.The episode lays bare the pitfalls of relegating spirituality to a mere contingency measure and proposes a transformative approach through kindness and curiosity. These tools enable individuals to explore their spiritual lives more fully, understanding the habitual barriers that limit divine interaction. Joe and Father stress the importance of cultivating a spiritual discipline where Jesus is omnipresent—integrated seamlessly into every decision, action, and relationship.Listeners are invited to use the forthcoming Easter celebrations as a catalyst for this change, fostering a spiritual habit that welcomes God's grace into every moment. By reflecting on the kindness and curiosity method, one can start to dismantle the subconscious walls that hinder spiritual growth, paving the way for a more profound connection with God.Tags:faith journey, relationship with God, apostles, spiritual growth, Jesus Christ, Easter reflection, divine presence, spirituality, kindness and curiosity, overcoming fear, holistic spirituality, modern faith, religion, integrating God, personal growth, apostles' faith, divine intervention, spiritual discipline, trusting God, cultivating faith, God in daily life, transformative spirituality, finding God, spiritual habits, opening to God, divine connection, spiritual transformation, fear and faith, transcending need, divine communion, spiritual celebration, faith reinforcement, God in moments, embracing spirituality, inner spirituality, relationship dynamics, faith obstacles, spiritual awareness, Easter journeyHashtags:#FaithJourney, #RelationshipWithGod, #Apostles, #SpiritualGrowth, #JesusChrist, #EasterReflection, #DivinePresence, #Spirituality, #KindnessAndCuriosity, #OvercomingFear, #HolisticSpirituality, #ModernFaith, #IntegratingGod, #PersonalGrowth, #ApostlesFaith, #DivineIntervention, #SpiritualDiscipline, #TrustingGod, #CultivatingFaith, #GodInDailyLife, #TransformativeSpirituality, #FindingGod, #SpiritualHabits, #OpeningToGod, #DivineConnection, #SpiritualTransformation, #FearAndFaith, #TranscendingNeed, #DivineCommunion, #SpiritualCelebration, #FaithReinforcement, #GodInMoments, #EmbracingSpirituality, #InnerSpirituality, #RelationshipDynamics, #FaithObstacles, #SpiritualAwareness, #EasterJourney

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Apr 9, 2025 Your spiritual development follows a divine pattern, revealed through the seven biblical feasts. This is not merely historical information, but a map for your transformation journey. When you first believe the gospel, you experience Passover—the beginning of deliverance. As you remove distractions and pride from your life, you're observing Unleavened Bread. When you start seeing the first evidence of genuine change and begin to delight in your new life, that's First Fruits taking effect. But don't stop there. God has designed a deeper immersion awaiting you at Pentecost. This isn't just about speaking in tongues—it's about flooding your soul with God's Word until competing voices are silenced. This extended encounter with God's presence writes His nature on your heart, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. During this Pentecostal season, something profound happens: the seven spirits of God (wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord Himself) become operational in your life. These aren't simply concepts but living impartations that transform how you perceive reality. The ultimate purpose of this spiritual flooding is to prepare you for the fall feasts. At Trumpets, you'll speak with divine authority that comes from revelation, not mere knowledge. At Atonement, you'll experience the reality of your union with Christ. And finally, at Tabernacles, your spiritual DNA will be permanently altered, making you "like unto the Son of God." This entire journey represents what God originally offered His people—forty days and nights of uninterrupted communion—now broken into installments for those who couldn't receive it all at once. Don't be satisfied with partial transformation. Press forward until you experience the complete cycle of feasts, until your nature is fully aligned with Christ's.

The Rebbe advises covering the shul's shortfall now and launching a fundraising drive later. Citing Vayakhel-Pekudei, he teaches that Hashem's presence rests not in lofty plans, but in sincere, practical action—even in a physical world and challenging times. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar/930

Today's Talmud pages, Sanhedrin 103 and 104, argue that slanderers, flatterers, liars, and cynics are the only four groups who will not receive the Divine Presence. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain why these four, and they alone, were singled out. What was their particular sin, and why we moderns must still watch out for it today? Listen and find out.

This month's learning is sponsored by Linda and Jay Marcus in honor of the recent birth of their granddaughter; and the anniversaries and birthdays of their children and grandchildren during Nissan. "בניסן נגאלו ובניסן עתידין להיגאל. May we merit to see the גאולה שלמה במהרה בימינו." Today's daf is sponsored by Lisa Kolodny in honor of Nancy Kolodny's birthday! "So happy you are spending more time in Israel this year, spreading your light, your wisdom and your love to all those around you."  There is a debate about whether Menashe received a portion in the World-to-Come. Rabbi Yochanan brings three drashot in the name of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, each relating to different kings of the Judean kingdom, highlighting how far God goes to allow repentance. He also brought another drasha relating to the disgrace of the Sanhedrin at the time of the Babylonian exile. Rav Chisda says in the name of Rabbi Yirmia bar Abba three statements - one relating to the bad actions of some of the Judean kings, one relating to types of people who are not worthy of receiving the Divine Presence, and one explaining the verses in Tehillim 91:11-13 about evil not coming upon a person. Why is the letter ayin in 'reshaim' suspended above the other letters in the verse in Iyov 38:15? A braita explains that Menashe, Achav, and Yeravam all learned Torah, highlighting that their sins were worse, as they clearly understood the Torah and sinned nevertheless, with full intent. Other braitot suggest that other kings lost their portion in the World-to-Come. Descriptions are brought about some of the bad kings and how their action led to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash.

When is the Messiah going to come? What kind of destruction/change of world order will precede the coming of the Messiah? There are several different descriptions of the signs to be expected. Some sages offered suggestions for what year to expect the Messiah. However, some hold that one cannot try to estimate when the Messiah will come. However, we are commanded to wait in hope for the Messiah's arrival, as is derived from Yeshayahu 30:18. From that same verse, it is derived that there are thirty-six righteous people in every generation who greet the Divine Presence. Other sources indicate other amounts of righteous people and these differences are reconciled. Rav holds that all the times the Messiah was supposed to come have now passed, and it is all dependent on the people repenting and doing good deeds. Shmuel holds that even without good deeds and repentance, eventually, the mourning will be so great that God will redeem the people. Their debate is similar to a tannaitic debate between Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua. They each bring verses in the Torah to prove their side of the argument - will the repentance come from the people or will God force it upon them when God decides it is time?

The season of Lent is a time of preparation, of deepening our relationship with the Divine and preparing to receive a miracle! Rather than focusing on sacrificing something you enjoy (giving up something for Lent), I recommend doing MORE of what you truly yearn for…something that will give you more love, peace, and connection. That's why I am recommending my book, Meditation is Friendship with God! This book will teach you the nuts and bolts of meditation, but it will also take you beyond meditation techniques, to developing an intimate relationship with the Divine. In this episode, I take you through a mini quiz to help you determine whether your current concept of God works for you, and if not, how to create one that does!  If you would like to purchase this book, click here for the Show Notes   PS- if you want to go even deeper in meditation,  you can still join the new training – Meditate Like Mother Mary Key Learnings: If you were raised with a concept of God that made you feel anxious, afraid, judged or anything negative, know that you can change that right now. Nothing negative is of God, that is the ego projecting itself onto the Divine. If you had a challenging relationship with your parents, it might be difficult to relate to God as Divine Mother or Father. But most of us have had a friend, or can at least imagine a friend, who cares for us and treats us as equals. Meditation is a relationship. It is a process of creating more and more intimacy with your own Self. As we learn to deeply relax, we become aware of the Divine Presence that is always present. We learn to become God's friend. “We are most genuinely ourselves when we are expansive. Why? Because that is when we are most like God.” To purchase Meditation is Friendship with God, click here To register for Meditate Like Mother Mary, click here To join the Magnify Your Miracles membership, click here  If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

The Light of God is always shining. But the ego mind has turned away from the Source and is lost in the darkness of delusion. This is the moment that the Supreme Self has chosen to return, bringing all souls back to the eternal stillness and peace of the Infinite Merciful Heart of the Real. For the ego, this will seem like world destruction, while for the illumined souls, this is the moment of redemption. The end is also the new beginning. The Kingdom of Heaven awaits those who surrender all to the Lord in humble adoration. Make use of this window of greatest opportunity while it is open. In this teaching, the seven secret teachings of Shiva are explained in depth. These keys will unlock the intellect's ability to transcend the false self-identity and rise as soul-consciousness into the blissful unmanifest Divine Presence.

King David proclaims in Tehillim (17:15), "Ani Be'sedek Eheze Fanecha" – "I shall behold Your countenance in righteousness." The Gemara in Masechet Baba Batra (10) explains this verse as revealing a fundamental precept relevant to Sedaka (charity) – that whoever involves himself in charity earns the privilege of beholding the Divine Presence. King David here teaches us that "Be'sedek," through the great merit of Sedaka, "Eheze Fanecha" – one is rewarded with the privilege of beholding a revelation of Hashem. This concept is seen in other sources, as well. Parashat Vayera begins by telling us that Hashem revealed Himself to Abraham Abinu: "Vayera Elav Hashem." The Sages explain that G-d came to Abraham to perform "Bikur Holim" (visiting the sick), as Abraham was recovering from the painful procedure of circumcision. Of course, Hashem does not visit every ailing righteous person. Why, then, did He appear to Abraham Abinu at this time? The answer is provided in the continuation of the verse, which tells us that Abraham was sitting outside his tent, in the heat of the day, looking for wayfarers in need of hospitality. As Abraham made a special effort to involve himself in Hesed (kindness), he was worthy of beholding a revelation of G-d. This can be seen also in the Misva of Aliya Le'regel, which requires making a pilgrimage to the Bet Ha'mikdash every Pesah, Shabuot and Sukkot with special sacrifices. The Torah commands that on these three occasions, "Year'eh Kol Zechurcha" ("all your males shall be seen" by G-d), and the Gemara interprets the word "Yera'eh" to mean not only that we are seen by Hashem on these occasions, but also that we see Him. (The word "Yera'eh" can be read as "Yir'eh" – "will see.") However, the Torah adds, "Lo Yera'u Fanai Rekam" – we cannot come to the Bet Ha'mikdash on the festivals "emptyhanded." In order to behold the Shechina (Divine Presence), we must offer sacrifices. We earn the great privilege of seeing G-d's presence only by giving. For this reason, the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572) taught that nowadays, when we do not have the Bet Ha'mikdash, we must give charity before every Yom Tob. Just as we needed to bring sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash to behold the Shechina on the holidays, nowadays we must give charity in order to have this special privilege. The Ba'al Shem Tob (1698-1760) taught that the Shechina descends upon a person when he gives charity because the Divine Name is symbolically formed through the act of giving. The small coin, or bill, which one gives represents the first letter of Hashem's Name, the letter "Yod." One takes the coin or bill in his hand, which has five fingers, and thus corresponds to the letter "Heh" (which has the numerical value of 5). The outstretched arm as one gives the money represents the tall, straight letter "Vav," and the needy person's hand which receives the charity symbolizes the final letter "Heh," thus spelling the Name of "Havaya" ("Yod"-"Heh"-"Vav"-"Heh"'). Therefore, by giving charity, we bring Hashem's presence. In light of this teaching, the Kabbalists instruct that if one is placing Sedaka money in a charity box, instead of giving it directly to a needy individual, he should first transfer the money from one hand to the other. If one is placing the money into a box, there is no final "Heh," as the recipient does not receive the money directly from the donor. Therefore, in order to form the final letter, one should move the money from one hand to the other and then place it in a box. This practice is alluded to in the verse which commands giving charity, "Naton Titen" ("you shall surely give" – Debarim 15:10). The phrase "Naton Titen" alludes to two acts of giving – moving the charity money from hand to the next, and then placing it in the Sedaka box. Moreover, the Kabbalists teach that in order to create the Name, one must initiate the process of giving. If one waits for the needy individual to come and outstretch his arm, requesting assistance, then the sequence of the letters is distorted. The Name must begin with the letter "Yod," which, as mentioned, corresponds to the money which one gives. Therefore, one must not wait for the person in need to come and ask for help, and should instead approach the poor person and outstretch his arm with the donation, in order to spell the Name the right way. This is alluded to in the aforementioned verse in Tehillim, in which David says, "Ani Be'sedek" – "I, through charity," referring to his initiating the donation of charity. The verse continues, "Esbe'a Be'hakitz Temunatecha" (literally, "I shall be satiated by Your image when I awaken"), which can be understood to mean that if we must be "awakened" by a needy person asking for help, rather than initiating the donation, then we see only "Temunatecha" – a vague image. If we give only after we are approached, then we form the Name, but the letters are jumbled, so we do not behold Hashem clearly. It is only when "Ani Be'sedek," when we initiate the giving of charity, that "Ehezeh Panecha," we see Hashem's countenance clearly. This verse also teaches us another vitally important concept relevant to charity. The Gemara tells that Rabbi Eliezer would make a point of giving charity before prayer, based on this verse in Tehillim – "Ani Be'sedek Eheze Fanecha," which could be read to mean that David came to "see G-d" in prayer after fulfilling the Misva of charity ("Be'sedek"). The great merit of this special Misva helps ensure the prayer's acceptance. Indeed, the Pele Yoetz (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1785-1828) writes that synagogues should place a charity box near the entrance so that everyone can give money to charity immediately upon entering. Even if not, one should try to at least set money aside for charity before each prayer, and this will help the prayer achieve the desired result. This concept may be explained in light of the Arizal's teaching that before one prays, he should declare that he accepts upon himself the Misva of "Ve'ahabta Le're'acha Kamocha" ("You shall love your fellow as yourself"), and proclaim his love for all his fellow Jews. This has been explained based on a parable of two brothers who lived in different countries, one of whom was very wealthy, and the other underprivileged. One day, the underprivileged brother decided to sell the little he had to fund a trip to his wealthy brother, certain that his brother would generously assist him. After the long, grueling journey, the impoverished man came to his brother's home and knocked on the door. "Who are you?" the brother asked. "What do you mean? I'm your brother." "Sorry, I have nothing for you. Good luck." He slammed the door. Sometime later, the wealthy brother went to visit his aging father, whom he had not seen in quite a while. When he arrived, he knocked on the door. The father opened the door and asked, "Who are you?" "Who am I?! I'm your son!" "If you don't recognize your brother as your brother," the father said, "then why should I consider you my son? If you're not his brother, then you're not my son." If we want a loving relationship with our father, then we need to treat our brothers like our brothers. When we pray, we come to G-d as a child coming before his loving father, asking for what we need. In order to do this, we must first affirm our commitment to fulfill the command of "Ve'ahabta Le're'acha Kamocha," to regard all our fellow Jews as our brothers – for only then can we come before G-d and say that we are His children. This is why it is important to give charity before prayer, too. By giving charity, we are showing that we care about our fellow Jews like our brothers. And once we have made it clear that they are all our brothers, we can then stand before Hashem and ask Him to care for us like a loving father.

התוכן בנוגע למעלת לימוד התורה של תשב"ר, "הבל שאין בו חטא", איתא בגמ' ש"אין מבטלין תשב"ר אפי' לבנין ביהמ"ק"! ולכאו' צ"ל הרי מעכבים עי"ז בנין ביהמ"ק אשר בו בחר ה' להיות ה"דירה" שבו ישכון?! והביאור: בבנין ביהמ"ק צ"ל הצלחה שיהי' לזה קיום כפי רצונו ית', "שתשרה שכינה במעשה ידיכם", וזה נפעל ע"י לימוד התורה של תשב"ר ביראת שמים. נמצא, שלא רק שבנין בהימ"ק אינו מתעכב על ידם ח"ו, אלא אדרבה – הם מבטלים את העיכובים לבנין ביהמ"ק ומביאים בזה יותר הצלחה. וכמ"ש במדרש שכאשר הי' הענין ד"אחז בתי כנסיות ובתי מדרשות", אמר ישעי' הנביא שאינו מתפעל מזה כי "הנה אנכי והילדים אשר נתן לי ה'" והם מבטלים את אלו שמונעים מילדי ישראל ללמוד תורה ביראת-שמים, ובזכותם ובזכות צדיקי עולם יקויים בקרוב ממש ההבטחה "עתידין בית כנסיות ובתי מדרשות שבבבל שיקבעו בא"י" בביאת משיח צדקנו.ב' חלקים משיחת יום ב' פ' ראה, כ"ף מנחם-אב ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-02-2025 Synopsis Regarding the unique quality of the Torah study of schoolchildren (“breath that is free of sin”), the Gemara states, “One may not interrupt schoolchildren ]from studying Torah] even to build the Beis Hamikdash.” Seemingly, how can we delay the construction of the Beis Hamikdash, the place chosen to be Hashem's dwelling in the world? The answer is that in order for the construction of the Beis Hamikdash to succeed and endure according to Hashem's will – for “the Divine Presence to rest on your handiwork” – we need the Torah study of schoolchildren. Thus, not only does the children's Torah learning not delay the construction of the Beis Hamikdash, chas v'shalom, but to the contrary, it removes the obstacles to its construction and brings it about with even greater success. As the Midrash relates, when there were those who “firmly closed the synagogues and houses of study,” the prophet Yeshayahu declared that he was not deterred, because “Behold, I and the children whom Hashem has given…” – the children remove those who try to prevent Jewish children from studying Torah with fear of Heaven. In their merit and that of tzaddikim of the world, we will soon merit the fulfillment of the promise, “In the future the synagogues and houses of study of Bavel will be established in Eretz Yisrael” with the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu.2 excerpts from sichah of Monday, Parashas Re'eh, 20 Menachem-Av 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-02-2025

Meditation is something I love… AND something I struggled with… for years!! I lived in a spiritual community where I was required to meditate for three hours a day, so I knew ‘what to do' - but I had a hard time FEELING much of anything… until Mother Mary helped me have a huge shift! In this episode, I share my personal struggle with meditation, and what Mother Mary taught me that made it so that I FEEL the Divine Presence when I meditate…and how you can too! And if you want to learn more about the upcoming training, Meditate Like Mother Mary,  click here to find out more  Key Learnings: There is a plethora of information about meditation available on the internet. There are even more guided meditations, but TRUE meditation is not passive. The four most important components of meditation are relaxing your body, calming your mind, turning your attention inward and focusing your attention. These are the four things you will learn in any ashram. If I was doing all of those things, what was I missing? After my ‘visitation' from Mother Mary, She began teaching me how to FEEL the presence of the Divine. THAT changed everything! Meditation is a relationship. You are becoming friends with your deepest self. Approach meditation as you would any other friendship and watch the miracles happen.   “Meditation is a relationship with your true self.”    Click here to register for  Meditate Like Mother Mary Program Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles Membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

DateFebruary 16, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we launch the series "Holding It Together: Good News for an Anxious Time" by exploring what it means to be honest about our anxiety in an increasingly overwhelming world. Pastor Brent challenges the "this is fine" mentality and examines how our instinct to avoid discomfort—through scrolling, busyness, or distraction—only allows anxiety to deepen its roots. Instead, he invites us to embrace the radical act of naming our struggles before God—not as a sign of weak faith, but as a profound expression of trust. Drawing from both modern psychology and ancient wisdom, we discover that we don't have to hold everything together because we're already being held.ReferencesScripture: Psalm 55:1–8About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Rebbe Nachman explains that our only right to the Land of Israel is when we connect to its holiness. Yet, how can it be holy if the Divine Presence is in exile? By virtue of our holy matriarchs and patriarchs – and in their merit – the Divine Presence is with us. So, without a connection to our forefathers, the land is contested, and the evil gain the upper hand.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, text the show.Blessings, beautiful. Today, we're diving deep into a topic close to my heart—mentorship. We'll explore the transformative power of having a teacher and guide on your spiritual path, as well as how to deepen and honour this sacred relationship.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I unfold the essence of mentorship on the spiritual journey. Together, we explore how shifting your relationship with the ego allows divine consciousness to flow naturally within you, anchoring your sense of wholeness and unity. I highlight the transformative presence of a teacher or mentor, one who sees through your limitations and shadows, helping you integrate light and accelerate your personal evolution.We discuss the misconceptions about mentorship, including the fear of losing self-leadership, and reframe it as a deeply empowering act of self-awareness and alignment. With mentorship, we uncover and honour our innate divine essence, expanding our capacity for presence, grace, and impact.Through stories and reflections, I share the profound blessings I've experienced through my mentors—how their guidance has amplified my growth, strengthened my connection to source, and revealed more of my truth. Together, we journey into the sacred dance of individuality and unity, of being both a student and a leader.Key TakeawaysThe Role of Mentorship: Mentors reflect our divine essence, supporting us to see beyond the ego's illusions and grow into our higher selves.Shadow Work as Light Work: Shadows are not “bad”; they often hide our brilliance. Mentorship can help us uncover and embrace our light.Self-Leadership in Mentorship: Choosing and working with a mentor is an act of sovereignty and self-trust, not submission.Acceleration Through Presence: True acceleration is about embodying more of your higher consciousness, not bypassing your unique spiritual clock.Sacred Relationships: Mentorship is a field of communion that fosters clarity, connection, and alignment with your soul's path.If this episode touched your heart, I'd love to hear from you!

Chanukah : Revealing the Divine Presence within Exile. The Miracle of the Hidden Light. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravpinsonpodcast/support

I have reflected and considered with some satisfaction that this hath been my way and the temper of my mind among you. Great reason I have to repent, that I have not with greater earnestness pressed upon you the known and important things wherein serious Christians do generally agree: but I repent not I have been so little engaged in the hot contests of our age about the things wherein they differ. For, as I pretend to little light in these things (whence I could not have much confidence to fortify me unto such an undertaking); so I must profess to have little inclination to contend about matters of that kind.

Unlike Micah, who responded politely when asked what God required of those who would follow, John the Baptist didn't mince words or waste time worrying about people's feelings.  He simply laid it on the line ... for everyone. Repent and change your ways. Quit putting yourself first. Take what's yours, only what's yours, and be happy. As we come close to Christmas and the arrival of the Christchild, join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a closer look at John's instructions for being ready to be drawn toward the Divine Presence.  Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Drawing from his extensive teaching and research, Matt explores how God's presence is depicted in Scripture—from the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle and Temple, and into the prophetic visions of restoration.

What if the key to navigating life's toughest challenges lies in listening more closely to a voice that's always been there? In this enlightening episode, we journey through the biblical story of Moses, drawing parallels between his divine encounters and our own everyday struggles. We explore the powerful narratives found in Exodus chapters 2 and 3, where God's intimate knowledge of us and His readiness to guide us through our struggles come alive. Through Moses' miraculous survival and unique upbringing, we uncover lessons on trusting God's constant presence and faithfulness. Our conversation takes a pivotal turn as we delve into Moses' transformative encounter with the burning bush on Mount Horeb. This divine moment not only captures Moses' attention but also symbolizes a renewed sense of purpose and hope. We reflect on the significance of God calling Moses' name twice, a gesture of endearment and instruction, and the symbolic act of removing sandals on holy ground. These moments serve as powerful reminders of recognizing God's presence and the sacred transitions in our own journeys. As we wrap up, we focus on God's promise of deliverance and His call to obedience and strength. It's not about who we are, but about who God is, and His unwavering faithfulness to His promises. Drawing insights from contemporary voices like Jordan Peterson, we discuss how to embrace our roles with confidence and use our natural abilities to overcome challenges. This episode invites you to feel the comfort of God's presence as a guiding force and to embrace faith and prayer in your life. Join us for a spiritual exploration that resonates with both timeless and modern wisdom.

What are the prospects for the planet now that Trump has been re-elected? What are the implications of the recent election in terms of how we advocate and care for the earth? In this urgent no-frills episode, James and Forrest offer thoughts on how we might care for ourselves AND how we can persist and persevere in our calling as earthkeepers. They reflect on the recent election's impact on future progress in climate action and the emotional responses it has elicited in many. They discuss the importance of grieving without falling into despair, finding community support, and taking actionable steps towards environmental care. The dialogue emphasizes the need for resilience, the power of letting our actions speak louder than words, and engaging with nature as a source of healing and comfort.TakeawaysGrieving is essential, but it should not lead to despair.Finding community is crucial during difficult times.Actions speak louder than words in climate advocacy.We must define our beliefs and live them out fiercely.Nature can provide solace and healing.It's important to reach out to others who share your concerns.Witnessing a better way can inspire change.Taking action, no matter how small, is vital.Look for the divine in everyone, even those with opposing views.Keywords: climate action, grief, community, environmentalism, hope, divine presence, healing, sustainability, post-election, earth care, Trump, Inflation Reduction Act, global leadership, global warming, renewable energyFind us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

What if digital actions like copying text or selecting emojis carry an unseen weight — a subtle energy that lingers in the virtual world? In this episode, we explore technomancy — the intersection of technology and mysticism — and the ways it's creating a "digital empathy" of sorts. Like it or not, our digital lives are seeping into our emotional experiences in the real world. From the strange “weight” of holding copied text before you paste it, to a psychic who reads people's recently used emojis like tarot cards, we look into the modern mysteries of the digital realm. Are we subconsciously developing new forms of animism for our devices, sensing energy where there is none? Or, could this be the next frontier in spiritual evolution?Videos Highlighted in this Episode:TikTok Video: The first video we introduceTikTok Video: The second video we introduceAdditional Resources:Definition: Embodied CognitionDefinition: AnimismTikTok Video: AI Realizing It's Not RealStudy: Emergence of the ‘Digitalized Self' in the Age of DigitalizationArticle: Divine Technology: The Rise of Digital SpiritualityArticle: The Two Faces of Digital SpiritualityArticle: From iPhone to iGod: The Rise of Digital Spirituality******************PLEASE take a moment to give us a 5-star rating and leave us a written review!
