IntroductionWelcome back to the fifth and final session of Praying the Mass! If you have not yet read parts 1 - 4 of this series, I highly recommend starting there!The Fourth CupI want to pick up from last week's conversation on the Liturgy of the Eucharist with a discussion of the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, particularly the Passover. On the night before He was to suffer, our Lord Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with His Apostles. He chose this time and meal to establish the New and everlasting Covenant in His Blood. At the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we are not re-enacting the Last Supper. One of the major differences between the Mass and the Last Supper is that the Last Supper anticipated the Sacrifice of Jesus and the Mass makes this saving reality present once again.In fact, we cannot understand the Mass as the Last Supper only. The Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ spans His entire saving Action, from the entrance into Jerusalem until His glorious Ascension into Heaven forty days after His Resurrection. It is impossible to separate the suffering of Christ from the Last Supper. The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross was once and for all. God is outside of time. Therefore, the Holy Eucharist was established, along with Holy Orders, in the Upper Room before Jesus suffered and died. However, this is precisely because Jesus was making the Cross present in His Body and Blood offered in the first Eucharist.The key to understanding the unity of the Last Supper and the Cross is understanding the Jewish Passover meal. In the Passover, the father of the family would use the first-person perspective when recounting the narrative of the Exodus. The blessings are read by the father of the house and the first cup of wine is consumed: the cup of blessing.At the Passover meal, each adult at the dinner drinks four cups of wine. The four cups mark the journey of the Hebrew people. The four cups mark that 1) God will save His People from harsh labor, which He accomplished by the plagues 2) God will save His People from servitude to the Egyptians, 3) God will redeem His People, which the Jews saw in the crossing of the Red Sea, and finally 4) that God will take His People as a Nation, which happened at Sinai.In Jesus Christ, these four cups reveal their fulfillment. The first cup is fulfilled in various ways by Christ, and in the Book of Revelation, as the full manifestation of God to man. The ten plagues inflicted on Egypt were directed against the various false Egyptian gods. Jesus reveals to us everything that God wished to reveal about Himself and frees us from harsh labor or toiling without purpose in matters of Faith. The second cup is fulfilled by the Incarnation. By the God-man entering into our humanity, we are freed from the slavery of sin, in order to share in His divinity. The third cup is clearly fulfilled in Baptism, which is the definitive escape from the power of evil through the Red Sea.The fourth cup of the Passover meal marks the establishment of the People of God as a nation at Mount Sinai. As a nation, the Exodus from Egypt out of slavery was brought to completion. The New Exodus is the deliverance of men and women from the slavery of sin. The New Moses is our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him is the fullness of redemption. His Perfect Sacrifice on the Cross is begun at the Last Supper. Dr. Scott Hahn goes into exquisite detail about the relationship of the fourth cup, the Last Supper, and the Cross in his 2018 book “The Fourth Cup: Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross.” I would highly recommend purchasing this book for a deeper dive. The main theological point that is drawn is incredibly important: the fourth cup is absent from the Last Supper!The absence of the fourth cup from the Passover Meal would have been noticed by the Apostles. Certainly, they would have been wondering why Jesus left the Passover meal incomplete when He went out to the Garden of Olives to pray. Where then is the fourth cup consumed? It is on the Cross! The fourth cup in Passover marks the establishment of the People of God as a nation at Mount Sinai. In the New Passover, the fourth cup is consumed on the Cross when Jesus drinks wine mixed with gall and gives up His spirit saying, “It is finished (cf. Jn 19:30, Mk 15:37).” In Latin, the phrase is “consummatum est.” The fourth cup is called the cup of consummation.On the Cross, Jesus establishes the new and everlasting Covenant in His Blood. The Church is borne from the Cross. The People of God become such by entering into the death of Christ and thereby sharing in His Resurrection. All of this is possible because of the outpouring of Jesus to the Father. What we need to remember is that Mass is not a reenactment of the Last Supper. It is a coming present once again of the saving Mysteries of Jesus' Last Supper, Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.After Supper Was EndedLet us resume our walk through the Mass. The bread has been consecrated. Now, in a similar way, our Lord took the chalice in His holy and venerable hands. He gave thanks to the Father, blessed it, and shared the cup with His disciples. Why did our Lord do this? He could have consecrated the bread and wine together and given that model to the Apostles.As we have explored earlier, the Last Supper is not merely a symbolic meal, it is a real participation in the events to come of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord. God is the master of space and time, so this is not outside of the possibilities for Him. When Jesus says, “This is my body which will be given up for you,” we can hear that it is anticipating a future action. The mystery comes when we realize that even though He is talking about an action in the future, He is saying that the bread in His hands is His actual body. The Church has never believed these words to be metaphorical. That heresy did not appear until the second millennium.We know that the Holy Mass is a sacrificial meal. So too was the Last Supper a sacrificial meal, inseparable from the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. What is the logic to the double consecration: the consecration of bread and wine separately. Jesus was making the Cross present at the Last Supper in a real, sacramental way, and, in so doing, made the Mass a memorial of the whole of the Paschal Mystery. When He took the chalice and said the words of consecration: “For this is the chalice of my blood...” He was essentially separating His Body and His Blood. The result of the catastrophic separation of Body from Blood is death.At every single Mass, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are separately made present under what looks like bread and what looks like wine. The Cross becomes present. The Death of our Lord Jesus Christ comes present. At the Last Supper, this was in an anticipatory sense because the events of the Passion and Death of Jesus had not yet happened. And at the Holy Mass, these events become present once more.Of course, we know that the Death of Jesus Christ is not the end. Our God knows the way out of death's decay. On the third day, He rose from the dead. His glorious Resurrection becomes present at each and every single Mass in a sacramental way during the Fraction Rite. Later on in the Mass, we sing the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). However, just before this, the Priest breaks a piece of the Host over the paten and places it in the Chalice saying, “May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.”Mysterium FideiAfter the bread and wine have been consecrated, the priest says the “mystery of faith” or mysterium fidei (in Latin), which is new to the 1970 Missal. Previously, the phrase mysterium fidei did not exist as an acclamation; rather, it was part of the formula of consecration spoken inaudibly by the priest. It was included just after “the new and everlasting covenant (novi et aeterni testamenti)” and just before “which will be poured out for you and for many... (qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur...).” However, it was only those two Latin words: mysterium fidei.Originally, the use of the term mysterium fidei referred to the mysterious goodness of the material of Christ's Blood being poured out. An early heretical sect, the Manicheans, held that the material order was bad and only the spiritual was good. So, adding the “mystery of faith” into the Canon further showed how important the Flesh and Blood of Christ was and is, His material humanity joined to His divinity.The 1970 addition to the Missal of “we proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again” seems to be more akin to the traditions of the Eastern liturgies. The Liturgy of St. James, a Byzantine form of liturgy, says, “This do in remembrance of me; for as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show forth the Lord's death, and confess His resurrection, till He comes.” This shows that the memorial acclamation may be new to the Roman Rite of the Church but it has been used for ages in the Eastern Catholic Churches.We are recognizing that the Mass is an anamnetic reality. By way of a quick review from last week, anamnesis in Greek literally means “bring to mind.” We could also translate it as a deliberate recollection. Anamnesis in the context of liturgy is more than just a memory or a calling to the mind in some abstract way. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the mediation of Jesus Christ, our High Priest, the One Sacrifice becomes present once again in an unbloody manner. The word anamnesis is what Jesus says in the words of consecration when He says, “Do this in remembrance of me.”So, the Mass is not a representation, it is a RE-presentation. It is the presenting once more the one and only Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His suffering, death, and resurrection. Anamnetically, we become present in these sacred events, outside of space and time. Through our prayers and intention, we take part in the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We enter into the saving Action of Jesus Christ in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.Borne By the Hands of Your Holy AngelThe priest is not only offering the Sacrifice of the Holy Victim, he is presenting an oblation or an offering. In the First Eucharistic Prayer, the ancient Roman Canon, the part which makes this explicit goes this way:“In humble prayer we ask you, almighty God: command that these gifts be borne by the hands of your holy Angel to your altar on high in the sight of your divine majesty, so that all of us who through this participation at the altar receive the most holy Body and Blood of your Son may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing.”As we mentioned last week, we recognize the Sacrifice of the Mass as the re-presentation of Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension. We acknowledge that He Himself is the Sacred Victim offered on our behalf. And now, we recognize the link between Heaven and Earth in the Holy Mass.What is offered here is not a request that the Body of Christ be locally transferred from the altar to Heaven. Jesus Christ is in Heaven already. Therefore, the meaning of this oblation is mystical. It is not a prayer invoking the power of God, like the epiclesis which calls down the power of the Holy Spirit on the gifts. Interestingly, the word used in the official Latin text for “these gifts” is more literally translated as “these Things.” God sees the gifts, He has commanded the Mass be offered in this way, and they are priceless and pleasing to Him.The word Angel that is used comes from the Greek word “angelos” which means “messenger.” Certainly all of the angels and saints are worshiping at the throne of God and are taking part in the Sacred and Divine Liturgy of the Mass. So, who is this Angel?St. Ambrose taught that an angel assists at Mass when Christ is sacrificed on the altar. From the text of the Roman Canon, there is little information as to the identity of this Angel. Is it the guardian angel of the Church? Is it St. Michael the Archangel, the guardian angel of the Eucharist? Is it Jesus Christ Himself, used in a metaphorical sense? Does the word Angel stand in for each and every angel and saint who takes part in the Mystical Supper of the Lamb?It seems clear to me that what is asked here is not possible to any angel or creature. Truly, what created being can accomplish what God has asked and what the Church presents once again here? Besides being a messenger, the Angel is the “One Sent” by the Father. So, it seems that the Angel is the Son of God, Jesus Christ: the One Sent by the Father. In fact, Jesus is the “Angel of Great Counsel” referenced in Isaiah 9:6. We also see the Word of God (albeit before the incarnation) active in creation in Genesis 1-2. We see the Word of the Lord coming to Noah (Genesis 5-6). There is also the mysterious passage in the Gospel of John where Jesus says that Abraham had seen Him (cf. Jn. 8:56).The point of this mystical prayer is to show that the Sacrifice of Heaven is the Sacrifice of Earth. The altar on high in the sight of the His divine majesty is the altar on which the Sacrifice of the Mass is being offered once more. Heaven and Earth meet by the power of the Holy Spirit and the mediation of the Angel of Great Counsel, our Lord Jesus Christ. “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus... (1 Tim. 2:5).” So, the Holy Angel of the Mass's words is Jesus.The End of the Eucharistic PrayerThe priest ends the Eucharistic Prayer with a Final Doxology, a liturgical formula of praise to God, saying:“Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.”This entire Action, and truly the whole of the Holy Mass, is the action of God. The chief mover in the Liturgy is our High Priest, Jesus Christ. This final phrase given to us by the Church to close the Eucharistic Prayer might seem like a simple declaration of praise, but it is the key to understanding Catholic worship. “Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.” Do we go to Mass to receive the gifts that God wants to bestow upon us? This is the view that many within the Church hold. We go to Mass to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Of course, if we are in a state of grace, we have the honor and profound privilege of receiving our Lord in the Eucharist. But why do we go to Mass? Is it to receive or to give?The key is this: “all glory and honor is yours.” We recognize that we have come to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass with our full, conscious, and actual participation for one primary purpose: to give glory and honor to the Father. And through this cooperation with grace, God makes us holy. Almighty God does not need our worship, but He delights in it. We have freedom and the free self-gift of His son or daughter is His delight. If we come to Mass primarily to receive, we are not coming for the right reasons. If we say, “I did not get anything out of Mass today,” then we have a wrong understanding of the Sacred Liturgy. We should not say, “I did not get...” We should instead say, “Did I give my all to my Heavenly Father?”The Communion RiteFollowing the Eucharistic Prayer, we stand and pray the prayer that our Lord Jesus taught us: the “Our Father.” This perfect prayer, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, contains all five excellent qualities required for prayer. It is confident, ordered, suitable, devout, and humble. It is also clear here the priest is leading this prayer in the Person of Christ, Head of His Body, because his hands are in the orans posture of offering.Next, the priest offers the peace of Christ to us, just as Christ offered His peace to the Apostles on the day of the Resurrection. “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld (Jn. 20:19-20).”Then, it is optional for the deacon or priest to invite the gathered faithful to turn to those in their immediate vicinity and offer the peace of Christ. This is the action of one Member of the Body of Christ to another Member of the Body of Christ. So, we do not say the other person's name, give them a secret handshake, or anything like that. We remember that Christ is now present on the altar and we offer the peace of Christ, which the world cannot give, to those around us. We are also reminded here of the words of our Lord: “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift (Mt. 5:23-24).”The Fraction RiteAs I mentioned last week, the priest then takes a piece of the Sacred Host and breaks it. Then, he puts that piece into the Chalice, which makes the Resurrection of Jesus present in a powerful way. Body and Blood are reunited, never to be parted again! We, and the priest, do not receive dead flesh; we receive the whole Christ, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity into our own bodies. Interesting to note here, as well, that our posture changed after the Final Doxology. Instead of kneeling in penitence and adoration at the foot of the Cross, we are standing in the joy and power of the Resurrection! Meanwhile, the priest is saying quietly: “May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.”Then, quietly, he prays directly to Jesus in one of two ways:“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit, through your Death gave life to the world, free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood, from all my sins and from every evil; keep me always faithful to your commandments, and never let me be parted from you.”Or: “May the receiving of your Body and Blood, Lord Jesus Christ, not bring me to judgment and condemnation, but through your loving mercy be for me protection in mind and body and a healing remedy.”Next, while facing the people, the priest raises the host and chalice echoing the words of St. John the Baptist,“Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.”The people and the priest then respond with the words of the centurion to Jesus who believed that He could save the centurion's daughter, despite being a Gentile pagan:“Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.”At this point, the priest then receives Holy Communion and then distributes our Blessed Lord, under the veil of a Sacrament, to the faithful gathered who are in a state of grace. Who Do We Say Amen?I think it is worth investigating: Why do we say Amen after receiving Holy Communion?In the Second Century, St. Justin Martyr writes in his Apologia that after the prayers of thanksgiving and consecration were finished by the priest, all responded by saying “Amen.” This is not simply a word found at the end of a conversation. It is not like saying, “Ok. Goodbye, God,” after a prayer is finished. St. Paul writes, “Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?” So, it would seem that the word Amen packs a punch. But what does it mean?Amen is a Hebrew word which means “so be it.” St. Augustine translated it as “it is true (Latin: verum est).” In a tract explaining the Mass from the Middle Ages, we read, “Amen is a ratification by the people of what has been spoken, and it may be interpreted in our language as if they all said: May it so be done as the priest has prayed (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1907).”It is custom in most of the Rites of the Catholic Church, both East and West, to say “Amen” after receiving Holy Communion. In the 1962 Missale Romanum, the priest says, “Corpus Domini Nostri Iesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternam, Amen (May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your soul unto life everlasting. Amen).” So, even though the communicant does not say “Amen” like in the Ordinary Form of the Mass, the priest has said “Amen” for them.The language of “Amen” seems to be like a contract. When two people enter into an agreement with one another, they may mark it with a handshake and say, “so be it” or “I agree.” Is that what is happening at Mass? Certainly, what we are entering into at Mass is far more important, meaningful, lasting, and beautiful. Perhaps more than a contract, the “Amen” shows us that the language of the Mass is that of a covenant. A contract can be broken. A covenant cannot be broken.When we approach our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, we are approaching the Bridegroom as the Bride. We are uttering our wedding vows to the King of Heaven each time we receive Holy Communion. We are saying, “I do” when we say “Amen.” The meaning of the word is very close to this understanding. We are using the language of marriage to show that we are accepting the Bridegroom into our body and soul to remain with us always. As husband and wife become one flesh in marriage, the communicant and our Lord become one in the Eucharist. “Communion” means “one with.” We are becoming more closely joined to the Lord in reception of Holy Communion.Every time we say “Amen” we should call to mind clearly what we are doing. We are giving our assent of Faith. We are not saying “Okay” or “Sure”, we are saying “so be it.” Do we know what we are saying “yes” to? Do we know what we entering into? Our “yes” to God cannot be half-hearted or wishy-washy. It must be sure and resolute, by His grace. Our Lord Jesus is a strong proponent of authenticity and resolution. We hear in the Book of Revelation: “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth (Rev. 3:16).” And in the Gospel of St. Matthew: “Let what you say be simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything more than this comes from evil (Mt. 5:37).” Let our Amen mean Amen. Then, after Holy Communion, the priest or deacon purifies the Sacred Vessels, which is something only they can do. They quietly say:“What has passed our lips as food, O Lord, may we possess in purity of heart, that what has been given to us in time may be our healing for eternity.”Next, the priest invites the people to pray and says the Prayer after Communion. This is a special prayer given for each liturgical day, like the Collect, which ends the Communion Rite and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, more broadly. Will Wright Catholic Podcast is a reader-supported publication.

The priest, acting in the Person of Christ the Head, is blessing the people.  In other words, it is Christ Himself who blesses us at the end of Mass.  During Mass, where the priest is, there is Christ.The priest, acting in the Person of Christ, blesses those gathered with the power and might of the Most Holy Trinity: “May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”  By making the sign of the Cross and invoking the Trinity, the priest is sealing us with God's presence.  We have been shown mercy in the Introductory Rites and we glorified God.  We were fed with His adorable Word in the Liturgy of the Word.  And we received Jesus Christ Himself in the Holy Eucharist in the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  This one, single act of worship began with the sign of the Cross and it ends with the sign of the Cross.Following the final blessing, the dismissal is given by the priest or deacon.  This is, in fact, where the word Mass comes from.  The words in Latin “Ite, missa est” literally means “Go, she (meaning, the Church) – has been sent”.  This word is related to our English word “mission.”  Fed by the Word and the Eucharist, Jesus fills us with Himself and we are strengthened to go out and share Him with the world. The Church exists to evangelize, and we are the hands and feet of Christ. At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, in the Great Commission, Jesus says to the Apostles:“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Mt. 28:18-20).”Likewise, the deacon or priest is acting in the Person of Christ, telling us to “Go” as well! The dismissal makes the Ascension anamnetically present to us, because that is exactly what happened after the Great Commission.Then, the priest, still acting in the Person of Christ the Head, then processes down the center aisle towards the narthex as a recessional hymn is sung.  Technically speaking, the one, single act of worship – the Mass – ends with the dismissal.  Practically speaking, our celebration of the Sacred Mysteries ends when the priest reaches the narthex of the Church. This practice of waiting until the priest reaches the narthex highlights the reality that Christ is the presider at Mass, acting through the priest.ConclusionI hope that this series has been a blessing to you. I hope that we all will continue in our pursuit of the glory of God and the sanctification of man. I hope that the Mass comes alive to your senses in a powerful way.

Spiritual Deep Dive - Seeing the World's Shadows Through a Kabbalistic LensA beautiful discussion on the importance of spirituality and our present day situation. Yosef, genius scientist, gives us his perspective and introduction to the Kabbalah, while making the case that now more than ever, we are called upon to seek God and birth this new age with deep love as we hospice the dying wicked ways and people of this Earth. Yosef gives an intro to spoon bending 101, because if you haven't bent a spoon, you haven't figured out how to pray. - Show notes -ReferencesTom Brown - The Tracker (book)Interview with Dale Pond: https://youtu.be/eUe-VPmLErAWhat's in the "V" song: https://youtu.be/KpwhvXrHo8kThe guy who starts everyone dancing: https://youtu.be/GA8z7f7a2PkFollow on Telegram:https://t.me/FreedomJunkieRadiohttps://t.me/FreedomJunkieRadiochatwww.freedomjunkieradio.com@freedomjunkieradio on IG and FB

A quote by Charles Fort – ‘The Earth is a farm. We are someone else's property.' This a terrifying notion if you think deeply about it, but is it possible this could be the case? What would that look like and what sort of property would humans be exactly? The standard laundry list for alien interest in Earth is interesting, but compelling as a theory is a harder pill to swallow...http://www.troubledminds.org Support The Show! https://rokfin.com/creator/troubledminds https://patreon.com/troubledmindshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/troubledminds https://troubledfans.comFriends of Troubled Minds! - https://troubledminds.org/friends Show Schedule Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs 7-10pst iTunes - https://apple.co/2zZ4hx6Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2UgyzqMStitcher - https://bit.ly/2UfAiMXTuneIn - https://bit.ly/2FZOErSTwitter - https://bit.ly/2CYB71U-----------------------------------------------------------https://troubledminds.org/of-galactic-farming-and-ufo-propaganda/https://wwmt.com/news/offbeat/pentagon-officials-speculate-alien-mothership-could-send-mini-probes-to-earth-solar-system-exploration-space-planets-lifeform-artificial-interstellar-objects-astronomy-all-domain-anomaly-resolution-office-oumuamuahttps://www.space.com/alien-mothership-lurking-in-solar-system-pentagon-official-suggestshttps://www.freepressjournal.in/viral/this-research-on-alien-mothership-might-interest-you-check-out-whats-inside-harvard-professor-pentagon-officials-collab-studyhttps://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/LK1.pdfhttps://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/technology/researchers-and-military-set-to-prove-alien-mothership-is-out-there-sending-probes/ar-AA19f1Ushttps://futurism.com/the-byte/harvard-professor-pentagon-alien-mothershiphttps://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/sci/pentagon-report-alien-mothership.htmlhttps://www.c4isrnet.com/off-duty/military-culture/2023/03/09/pentagon-ufo-chief-says-alien-mothership-in-our-solar-system-possible/https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/12/16/pentagon-has-received-several-hundreds-of-new-ufo-reports/https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3100053/dod-announces-the-establishment-of-the-all-domain-anomaly-resolution-office/https://www.azquotes.com/author/5026-Charles_Fort

Some of most dramatic evidence that the Earth's climate is warming is the retreat and even disappearance of mountain glaciers around the world.  2022 was the 35th year in a row that glaciers tracked by the World Glacier Monitoring Service lost rather than gained ice.  Glaciers gain mass through snowfall and lose mass through melting […]

Constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity. That's CrossFit. Simple in definition. Complex in the way it's changed the fitness industry. CrossFit's not a sport. It's a lifestyle that has dominated the way elite athletes train, all the while crowning the Fittest on Earth. Don Faul became the CEO of CrossFit last fall and at the tail end of his 120-day assessment, he sat down with Fran Racioppi and Jessie Graff for a conversation live from the TYR Wodapalooza stage. Don shares his transition from Recon Marine to tech, to wearables, to fitness. They cover the fundamentals of the sport, how it has advanced the way we think about our health, how to become CrossFit certified, and Don's vision for the CrossFit brand in 2023 and beyond.

Kosha Countdown to Earth Day continues with a look at our relationship to the Earth through the lens of Pranamayakosha (the vital energy body).This conversation invites the living soil of Annamayakosha (Earth Body) into the realm of its energetic neighbor. In Yoga, Prana (life-force or vitality) rides the breath and is strengthened, expressed, and examined through pranayama (directed breathing exercises).The earth is not only our breathing partner, exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide, it is a breathing entity of its own. Systems on the earth ebb & flow, expand and contract, as do the systems of the body. This one simple reflection reveals an inextricable link that bonds us to each other.Noticing how the breath impacts energy and mood, providing tools to work with when in moments of anxiety or panic. The nervous system can be agitated or calmed by mindfully shifting the breath.This episode includes a brief discussion of the practice of raising Wind Horse; it also touches on the Yoga Vayus (Winds) as a way of deeper inspection.Wind HorseRaising Wind Horse can be a whole ritual (complete with altar & practices honoring the four directions,) or it can be a simple but powerful mantra meditation with five lines. While this is cursory teaching, barely touching the surface and lacking the greater context, it has merit as connection to Pranamayakosha, the Vayus, and the overall raising of the vibration. Finding a teacher is always helpful (whether in person or online). Raising Wind Horse helps cultivate unconditional confidence. It does not rely on achievement or acquisition; it is yours without cause or condition.“Literally, Wind Horse is a mythical Tibetan Creature symbolizing inner air or wind of the body. Lungta is associated with positive energy or “life force” and with “good luck.” (click for more information from Wiki)The following instructions are Sherry's best recollection from her Shambhala Training in 2001-2002:Ki Ki – Take your seat and feel the support of the ground beneath you.So So – acknowledge the earth and sky as representing duality.Ashe – collapse the concept of duality, earth and sky, to one horizon lineGhla – with a downward gaze touch on the universal heart of sadnessGyalo – lift your gaze and radiate outwardHere is what was read about the VAYUS, or winds (from no one source):In yoga, the Vayus are the five movements, or winds, of prana (vitality, life-force energy) within the body. Raising Wind Horse (Lungta) has roots in Tibetan Buddhism and can be related to the Vayus (the five vital energies) in the following ways:Prana Vayu: Moves inward and upward, governing breath and heart-rate. Raising Wind Horse can help increase the flow of this vital energy which is responsible for the respiratory system. Apana Vayu: Moves downward and outward, governing elimination and reproductive functions. Wind Horse can also help balance this vital energy which is responsible for the excretory system.Samana Vayu: Moves in a circular motion, governing digestion and assimilation. Raising Wind Horse can help activate this vital energy which is responsible for digestion and assimilation of food.Udana Vayu: Moves upward and outward, governing speech and expression. Wind Horse can also help activate this vital energy which presides over the vocal cords and speech.Vyana Vayu: Moves throughout the body, governing circulation and movement. Raising Wind Horse...

Ep. 71 (Part 2 of 3) | Nicholas Hedlund & Sean Esbjörn-Hargens are big picture philosophers with extraordinary big hearts as well as big minds, dedicated to understanding how consciousness, culture, and nature relate to each other, and to forging a path for the Earth and civilization to flourish rather than fall apart. In this dialogue, the world of metatheories comes alive with urgent, purposeful meaning, because as Sean and Nick point out, integrative metatheories like Ken Wilber's integral theory and Roy Bhaskar's critical realism are the only tools that provide a useful framework for us to talk about and confront the vast web of interrelated and wicked problems we face on every level at this time. Now, we are only just beginning to understand the nature of the metacrisis—how the external crises are driven by interior crises of sensemaking and meaning making—but how do we bring everyone to the table to find solutions? How do we get the wisdom of these approaches to bear upon the crises we face? It turns out that heart connection—love, caring, and being willing to listen and to change—is a crucial, key ingredient for us to move forward in a positive way. Nick and Sean express both heartbreak and wild enthusiasm—heartbreak that our entire planetary community is so threatened and we have only a small window of time (till 2030) to transform our consciousness and culture into taking a cooperative and reverent approach to life, and enthusiasm to be alive at this pivotal time where everything hangs in the balance. Recorded December 7, 2022.“We really need both—we need big Heart to connect and be friends with each other and love each other and we need that in equal measure to big Mind.”(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 2The difference between dialogue and debate: being willing to have one's mind changed and opening up the opportunity for real dialogue (01:23)The critical reality principle/truth that we all share one world (03:07)The call to evolve together and mature spiritually (05:14)Reasons to be optimistic and reasons to be concerned about what lies ahead: the metacrisis will be a developmental catalyst for some but not all (07:33)The integral ecology mantra: things are getting better, things are also getting worse, and the eternal nature of perfection (09:33) How can we speak to the fears of the people?

In response, the US government is setting new space hygiene norms, while private companies are investing in ways to tackle the messy orbital environment. Billions of dollars of assets are at stake, including the orbital devices crucial to navigation and communication used by industries and people globally. 隨著商業衛星進入軌道的數量迅速增加，碰撞和危險垃圾的風險也在上升。為此，美國政府正在設定新的太空衛生標準，而私人公司正在投資於解決混亂的軌道環境的方式。涉及數十億美元的資產，包括全球工業和人們使用的導航和通訊關鍵的軌道設備。 U.S. Space Command recently released a report that includes a section on space debris, urging space players to dispose of their defunct satellites safely and notify other operators if any problems with their spacecraft might pose a debris hazard. The report also aims to steer military norms in orbit to prevent potential space weapon attacks that could generate more debris. 美國太空司令部最近發布了一份報告，其中包括有關太空垃圾的部分，敦促太空玩家安全處理其不再使用的衛星，並通知其他運營商，如果他們的航天器存在可能構成垃圾危害的問題。該報告還旨在引導軌道上的軍事規範，以防止潛在的太空武器攻擊可能產生更多的垃圾。 Astroscale, a Tokyo-based company, is testing a debris removal device called ELSA, designed to latch onto defunct satellites and drag them toward Earth's atmosphere for fiery disposal. The company recently closed a $76 million funding round, which included Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa as an investor. 總部位於東京的Astroscale正在測試一種名為ELSA的垃圾清理裝置，旨在鉤住不再使用的衛星並將它們拖向地球大氣層進行火化處理。該公司最近完成了一輪7600萬美元的融資，其中包括日本億萬富翁前澤友作。 Astroscale is one of several companies developing in-space satellite servicing to extend the lifespan of broken or fuel-spent spacecraft. The mission extension concepts have sprouted a patchwork of other companies looking to build on the momentum. Astroscale是幾家正在開發太空衛星服務以延長損壞或燃料用盡航天器壽命的公司之一。任務擴展概念已經催生了一系列其他公司，希望借此機會發展壯大。 While governments try to tackle international rules, the immediate response to the littering of orbit is coming in large part from the private sector. Industry-specific policies for space behavior similar to the norms proposed by U.S. Space Command are urgently needed before a catastrophic collision occurs that could lead to burdensome regulations. 雖然各國政府試圖解決國際規則問題，但對軌道垃圾的即時響應很大程度上來自私人部門。在發生可能導致繁重法規的災難性碰撞之前，急需制定類似於美國太空司令部提出的針對太空行為的產業特定政策。 Experts say that ensuring a sustainable space domain is essential for the growth of the space economy. Governments and private companies must work together to solve the debris problem and mitigate it to an acceptable level. By doing so, the space domain can grow while keeping the environment sustainable. 專家表示，確保可持續的太空領域對於太空經濟的增長至關重要。政府和私人公司必須攜手解決垃圾問題，並將其降至可接受的水平。這樣做可以實現太空領域的增長，同時保持環境的可持續性。Reference article: https://www.xm.com/tw/research/markets/allNews/reuters/as-space-junk-threat-grows-government-and-investors-seek-solutions-53492700 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Anyone know what happens at cemetaries in New Orleans, because we've heard some things and we're confused and intrigued. Sarah talks about how a piece of the sun broke off and got sucked into a polar vortex, and it's wild. Bad news though, an astroid is headed straight for Earth and we only have twenty years to have Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck solve the problem. Susie saved Sarah and Eli's relationship with a cleaning hack that will prevent future fights. Sarah might become a cat mom and Susie is thrilled. We discuss the gigantic blob of seaweed that is headed for the U.S. and Susie somehow is blaming Walt Disney for it. We hear the science behind why nostalgia is good for you, and how you can take the fast track to the goold old days when you're feeling depressed.

Wet wipes have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience and versatility. They are a typical example of a fast-paced and single-use product to which the negative consequences that generate are much more dangerous and significant when compared to its benefits. With the ever growing popularity of wet wipes has come a  significant environmental problem due to the impact on ecosystems, waterways, wildlife, and human health. In fact, 1 billion wipes are flushed away each year, and each one of those wipes can take over 100 years to biodegrade (according to Business Waste, a British company providing waste services). This leaves us with a gigantic waste problem that creates several environmental and health repercussions. When we flush a wet wipe down the toilet, we fail to think about the microplastics it contains, the blackages in sewage systems it causes, the harm it does to fish, birds, and other marine life that mistake them for food, the impact it has on our own health, and so much more. That's why in this episode, we are going to explore wet wipes as a fatal convenience…     Reliable Sources where you can learn more: Baby wipes and nappy rash – what is the relationship?

A huge sunspot has unleashed a blast of solar wind racing toward Earth at nearly 3-million-kilometres an hour.  It's expected to hit the atmosphere tonight, sparking more spectacular aurora. Scientists are carefully monitoring the winds which can affect Earth's magnetic field, satellites, and all sorts of radio networks.  Otago University space physicist Jonathan Squire spoke to Corin Dann.  

Ether 10 - Moroni 10  Faith Ether 10 +  11 is a lot more of the same thing we've been reading about. Wars. The righteous become wicked, etc. Ether 12:2-4 In verse 6 Moroni pops in and wants to tell us more about faith. Throughout this chapter “faith” is mentioned 36 times!  In verse 6 Moroni gives us the definition of faith that we quote over, and over and over.  Moroni shares examples of faith with us so we can better understand what it really looks like: Jesus Christ coming to Earth, Law of Moses, Law of Moses fulfilled, Alma and Amulek causing the prison to tumble to the earth, Nephi and Lehi that caused a change in the Lamanite, Ammon's great miracles with the Lamanites, 3 Nephites. Miracles come AFTER our faith and when we FIRST show that we believe in Jesus Christ. Brother of Jared's faith: verses 20-21, 30 Weakness: Ether 12:27 Seek Jesus: 12:39-41 War The Book of Ether ends with war. A LOT of war. In chapter 15 we are told that MILLIONS have died. Cariantumr remembers what he was told by the prophets and tries to repent. Verse 3. In verse 23 + 25 we find out how few people are left. Then in 29, it is just Coriantumr and Shiz. Coriantumr slays Shiz and then he died. Verses 32-34 Prayers Moroni first tells us in chapter 1 that he thought he said goodbye because he wouldn't be around too much longer. But he's still around, so he'll share a little bit more. Chapter 2 is the prayer for conferring the gift of the Holy Ghost. Chapter 3 is the prayer to ordain priests and teachers. Chapter 4 and 5 are the sacrament prayers. Chapter 6 is all about baptism and repenting. Chapter 7 is Moroni writing his father, Mormon's, words down. 7:11-12 Various verses teaching that Light/Good comes from Christ. Verse 25-26, 33, 41-42, 45, 47-48 Chapter 8 is all about infant baptism and how it is an abomination of the Lord. Verse 8-10 Chapter 9 is another epistle to Moroni and he talks about the wars going on around him. A Promise and Gifts from God Moroni 10:3-5 What does Moroni's promise mean? What can it look like for each of us as individuals? What are my own experiences with it? President Nelson April 2018 “The Prophet Joseph Smith set a pattern for us to follow in resolving our questions. Drawn to the promise of James that if we lack wisdom we may ask of God,8 the boy Joseph took his question directly to Heavenly Father. He sought personal revelation, and his seeking opened this last dispensation. In like manner, what will your seeking open for you? What wisdom do you lack? What do you feel an urgent need to know or understand? Follow the example of the Prophet Joseph. Find a quiet place where you can regularly go. Humble yourself before God. Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father. Turn to Him for answers and for comfort. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen! Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. As you repeat this process day after day, month after month, year after year, you will “grow into the principle of revelation.”9 Does God really want to speak to you? Yes!”“I exhort thee” - SIX TIMES Verse 4, 7, 8, 19, 27, 30 Ask God, Deny not the power of God, Deny not the gifts of God, remember God is the same, Remember these things, Come unto Christ. Spiritual gifts from God Verses 8-18 How can we know our own gifts? How can we gain new gifts?

Coffee With “The Librarians” – Channeled Wisdom for Humanity This week we're bringing you a very different show! We're bringing you a full hour of universal, channeled, wisdom to help you on your betrayal recovery journey. Lora channels a group of entities known as “The Librarians.” The Librarians are keepers of universal wisdom for the earth plane and their messages are meant for seekers of light. Take it slow, pause when you need to pause, and if you like what you hear, follow Lora on Facebook or YouTube where she goes live every Tuesday, with a new, live channel. Dec.13, 2022 Truth lives inside of us all. And while none of us share the exact same truth, we all share the knowledge that our truth is important. Which is where things get difficult! While it's important for us to share what's going on inside with others, to validate our experience and to create the kinds of close relationships that we want, communication is difficult! Words are limited and cannot explain our unique perspectives, textures, and feelings. Therefore, trying to explain what's going on inside in a way that others can understand is impossible! Yes we try. And we get angry when others don't understand... Oneness comes from the shared understanding that we are all alone in our unique perspectives. That we are all unable to communicate our feelings, wisdom, and knowingness adequately. Oneness comes from being aware and honoring that we are all "right" and we are all centered in our own hearts, and that we are all alone with our own insides, and that our connection is through our unique aloneness. Dec. 20, 2022 A piece for peace! This week's message is about the deeper meaning and message behind Winter Solstice and darkness. While reaching outside of ourselves for light is fine because we all need inspiration at times, the task of becoming spirit Actually awakened is about cultivating the light that's within, not seeking external light During Winter Solstice we are in the dark for a reason and that reason is so we can find our own light. And the key is not stressing about being “good enough” or “enlightened enough” either. All we need is a PIECE of our light to find PEACE! We don't need to illuminate the whole world, we just need to illuminate and sustain ourselves. Because Peace on Earth is attained when everyone on the planet illuminates their own hearts! Dec. 27, 2022 Go in Grace. Go with the Flow. Allow Yourself to Receive. This week's message is about EASE and how we like to make things harder than they are. Ease is our birthright. Worlds (and humans!) are created with ease. Yes, there is the occasional cataclysmic event, but the process flows with ease, always. And when difficulties arise, life flows around those difficulties. Worthiness is not a part of it. We like to make things more difficult to prove to ourselves that we are worthy of being chosen, of receiving, of enjoying. and if you WANT to keep playing that game, you can. Just know that it is a game, and you don't have to play it. You can just flow. That's what GRACE is. It's the right to receive without being worthy. It's the right to love and live and enjoy even though you don't "deserve" to love and live and enjoy. Because the Truth (capitol T truth!) is that everyone deserves it. Nothing is conditional. Nothing is separate from God/Goddess. *Post-channel message: Look at our language around God. In the channel, Lora said he/she referring to God, and then typed God/Goddess. God/Goddess is the whole. Humans have created the separation of the whole into two-God and Goddess. Then humans stress out around gender! Life is genderless. Life is whole and complete. Life is without division. Ease and flow and grace are without division. Struggle and strife are division. Look around, it's everywhere! We love to struggle and overcome and fight and declare ourselves "right" so we can prove our own worth. Just know that it's not necessary. That's why GRACE was given to humans. We only need to receive this one gift if we want to live like Jesus/God/Goddess. Jan. 3, 2023 When we realize the inevitability of "bad things," it allows us to partake fully in the sweetness of life. This week the Librarians want us to become aware of the cloud of fear that surrounds our hearts and planet, and instead of continuing to build up our defenses to protect against bad things that might (or might not) happen, to realize that "bad things" happening is inevitable. Not to traumatize or scare us, but to realize that protecting ourselves fully is impossible. We have limited control. Yes, we can plan and save or be safe and take precautions and that is good, but we cannot prevent, anticipate, or protect against everything When we realize the inevitability of "bad things" happening in our lives, we become more able to partake in the sweetness of life and we enjoy ourselves more. Jan 10, 2023 Feeling our feelings is what living is all about. It doesn't matter if they are good feelings, bad feelings, or anything in between. The act of feeling is "fun" and is what being a human is all about. So many humans suppress or deny feelings because they don't want to feel. Yet, in spirit form, one thing we miss is the ability to feel fully and freely! Not that getting caught up in drama is advisable, but please stop being so terrified of feelings that you create unnecessary drama as a distraction from feeling "real" feelings! Yes, we can (and should) be happier than we are. Life is meant to be fun, it's a great game of creation. However, fear of feeling things we don't want to feel is one of the biggest blocks to feeling good. Ironic, right? Jan. 17, 2023 This week the Librarians want to talk about the concept of "closure" and how it's really not a thing. Nor is it a thing we'd want if there was! When we seek "closure" what we are really doing is refusing to admit or accept or acknowledge something. Something that is a part of us as well as a part of the world. "Seeking closure" is really us saying, "I don't want to deal with that. I want to ignore it. I don't want it in my life. I want to cut it off." But all of life is continuous. All of life is integrated. All of life is connected. There is no death or ending, there is only transition. Which means there is no closure! Instead of resisting or seeking to "fix" something, why not embrace it instead? Embrace the uncertainty, the transition, the ugliness, or the supposed problem? After all, we all say we want oneness and connection. So why do we resist by constantly clamoring about "closure" instead? Jan. 24, 2023 This week the Librarians want to talk about Connection and Communion with others. Loneliness is prevalent on the planet. Yet we are easily able to communicate with others. We just get too locked into our preferred method of communication! The deepest, most profound connections are made by going within and connecting from the heart or mind. Not by using our 5 senses and communicating with others through touch, voice, text, or words. Death does not separate us. Neither does language, distance, or access to any sort of tools. If we want to feel true oneness, the way to connection is within. Jan 31, 2023 The only way to address evil in the world is by looking at the ugliness without us. We all cross the line, we all do harm, we all lie, cheat, and steal in some way. When we justify our actions or think we are somehow better than another because we didn't do "as much" harm, we perpetuate evil. It's only when we acknowledge evil or wrongdoing within us that we can begin to change the world. Feb. 2, 2023 The power of the fresh start cannot be underestimated. There is virtue in a fresh start. Even when you are building something, or building from something that someone else has created, a fresh start will benefit you. There is so much guilt and shame around waste, but nothing, no creation is ever wasted. Whenever you feel like a fresh start is in order, take it! There is no shame. In the long run a fresh start will always be easier than struggling to fix or use the old. Why bang your head? Wipe it away, NO, bless it away! It was your first draft, and it was glorious in its own right. Now start again and do it differently!
