Când vorbim despre iubirea de sine, nu vorbim despre rolurile care ne-au ajutat să supraviețuim, ci despre cine suntem noi înainte să fi apărut toate aceste roluri și dincolo de ele.  Cine suntem noi cu adevărat, nu cine credem că suntem și trebuie să fim ca să supraviețuim.  De foarte multe ori, însă, chiar dacă înțelegem acest lucru, în lipsa clarității asupra a cine suntem, putem evalua acțiunile pe care le facem în beneficiul nostru ca fiind egoiste sau chiar acționa din egoism.  Unde tragem linia între iubirea pentru sine și atașamentul față de ego și cum parcurgem distanța de la cine-am învățat că trebuie să fim pentru a supraviețui până la iubirea de sine care ne permite trăirea pe deplin?  Descoperim toate acestea în episodul de astăzi, într-o conversație fascinantă alături de psihoterapeutul Cristina Trepcea.

September is good for relocating to new places for your career and financial development. Moreover, this is a good time to seek permanent residence in other countries. You can visit new places with family members. You can also plan spiritual trips that bring peace of mind. However, expenses could rise this month. You may spend money on entertainment and spiritual activities. There may be expenses for medical treatments, too. New development activities in your career may fail now. So, do your regular activities only. Businesses and investments may see sudden downfalls and losses. Egoism may make you argue with family members, which could cause losses and relationship issues. Love relationships could hinder your career growth. Issues with family members and friends in love relationships may cause mental worries. Singles may be unable to find the right partner. Do horoscope matching to avoid delays in marriage. You may receive sudden income through maternal properties. Students are likely to do well in exams and score high marks. Expenses would exceed income in September. So, try to reduce the expenses. Relocating to new places and spiritual activities can reduce losses and improve your income. The mother and motherly aged members would be supportive. September month is not good for business activities. Postpone plans to expand your business and start new ventures. September is favorable for recovery from stomach, digestion, spine, head, and migraine-related issues. However, issues in the knee joints could arise.

In 1949, a college junior named Barbara Beattie wrote a letter for a school journalism assignment. We can only speculate on Beattie's youthful expectations: Was she so naive to expect a response, or were these different times? She'd written playwright Arthur Miller at a time when the Broadway run of his most famous work, The Death of a Salesman, was in full swing. He had every reason to ignore a college student's inquiries into the “formal genesis” of his now-legendary work. What Beattie received–a sprawling and deeply thoughtful essay on man's common and timeless tragedies–must have impacted her greatly. After all, she's kept it for seventy-five years. Beattie's daughter found the letter when helping her mother, now 94, move out of her home. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeSubscribe to the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com

The Rational Egoist: Mastering Effective Egoism with Don Watkins In this enlightening episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz sits down with Don Watkins, bestselling author and prominent thinker, to delve into his latest work, "Effective Egoism: An Individual's Guide to Pride, Purpose, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Watkins, known for his incisive critiques of contemporary social issues in works like "Equal is Unfair," brings his sharp intellect to a discussion that centres around optimising personal philosophy to achieve a fulfilling life."Effective Egoism" explores the principles of living purposefully—embracing pride and pursuing happiness through a lens that challenges mainstream misconceptions about self-interest and altruism. Watkins unpacks the tenets of his book, explaining how individuals can harness an egoistic approach to maximise their potential and lead lives rich in accomplishment and satisfaction. Throughout the conversation, Watkins and Liebowitz discuss practical strategies for applying the principles of Effective Egoism in everyday life, from career choices to personal relationships. They explore the philosophical underpinnings of egoism, debunking common myths and presenting a compelling case for why a properly understood concept of self-interest is essential for personal success and societal well-being. Listeners will be invited to reconsider their own values and motivations as Watkins provides insight into how embracing an egoistic philosophy can lead to a deeper sense of pride and a more profound pursuit of happiness. The discussion also covers the societal implications of egoism and how individuals can contribute to a healthier, more equitable society by pursuing their rational self-interest.Join us on The Rational Egoist for a thought-provoking conversation with Don Watkins as we explore the powerful concept of Effective Egoism and its role in crafting a life of purpose and joy. Whether you're a longtime follower of Objectivist thought or new to the philosophy, this episode offers practical advice and philosophical insights that can transform your approach to life and happiness. Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand's philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand's teachings.Explore his work and journey further through his books:“Down the Rabbit Hole”: https://www.amazon.com.au/Down-Rabbit-Hole-Corrections-Encourages/dp/197448064X“View from a Cage”: https://books2read.com/u/4jN6xj

In 2 Corinthians 11:16 - 12:10, Paul gives a great dissection of the problem of ego and what it does to the individual believer and to the church as a body. As we study this passage, we're left with a surprisingly simple question: do I think like a fool or like a person of holy wisdom?

You can support this show and join us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/kindmind One of the predecessors of the word "create" is creare in Latin. This verb meant "to form out of nothing" as in the phrase creatio ex nihilo from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Accordingly, God manifested heaven and earth from the void.Thus, artists sometimes refer to their spark of inspiration as being in the likeness of God.However, the art from us mortals is creatio ex materia. Stravinsky may have said it best with the annotation of "refitting old ships." Astronomer Carl Sagan added that if you really want to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.So, does ego help or hinder art?Another etymological root of create is keres or later ceres from ancient Indo-European language. Ker means "to grow" like the Roman Goddess of agriculture known as Ceres.Egoism believes that the “I” is the origin of creative ideas and offerings, but the spiritual attitude is that of a steward tending to the growth and garden of community. We will explore whether ego impedes or augments one's creative output and how the mode of operation is different.

“Give back,” “Serve something higher than yourself,” “Put others first” – this is the wisdom of the ages. Raised on these platitudes from religious and secular quarters alike, most people assume that to be moral simply is to be selfless. Ayn Rand rejects this assumption. She champions the virtue of selfishness. But what does that mean? This lecture highlights some of the key elements of rational egoism to illuminate what it is and is not. By refuting common misconceptions as well as indicating what genuine self-interest demands, it paves the way for the healthy exercise of selfishness and the happiness that it makes possible.

This is a rebroadcast. The episode originally published in December 2019. Jason Hunt has a PhD in endocrine physiology and teaches pre-med classes at Brigham Young University-Idaho. He has served as a family ward bishop, a Young Single Adult ward bishop, and as counselor in a Stake Presidency, but his most difficult calling was as the primary pianist. Highlights 07:15 Culture and rules are not doctrinal 09:20 Keyholder applications are different from personal applications 11:00 Elder Bednar's concept of applications: Doctrines are statements. Principles are embedded in the doctrines and tell us what we should do. They never change. Applications change. 14:50 Keyholder applications hold true when the keyholder is saying them and would apply to those who are within their responsibility, and they do not extend beyond 18:10 Cultural norms are applications that have extended beyond their boundaries 19:00 How you view these cultural norms depends on your personal moral theory. The most common are: Consequential theorist: consequences Obligation theorist: rules Divine theorist: what God has said Egoist: personal priorities 25:00 The best leadership should be able to move between these theories 27:30 When you understand these moral frameworks, how different people respond to the culture makes more sense. Cognitive development also applies. 30:30 Jason's experience considering the story of Noah 34:30 It's important to be open and talk about things, even if you don't have the answers 36:30 Stephen R. Covey: Listen with the intent to understand, not to answer 39:30 Pornography, brain addiction science, and the bladder comparison. Identify the justifications. Ensure they trust and are comfortable and willing to share. 44:00 The response depends again on the personal moral theories of everyone involved 47:00 The Holy Ghost knows what needs to happen and we can be open to that and understand that there can be different consequences for different people 47:40 Have empathy for people with different moral theories and respect them for their approach 49:00 The divine command theorist must be doctrinally grounded or there can be misapplication within the culture. Examples that happen in a YSA ward. 53:20 Egoism: put the mask on first 55:30 When you are working with a leader who is coming from a different moral framework there will be friction and it requires greater empathy. We have to learn to step into different quadrants and embrace the differences of opinion 58:45 A mission is not a saving ordinance. The temple is the culminating event with the saving ordinances and that is where the focus needs to be. 1:00:10 Jason's motorcycle example compared to technology use: youth do not have the ability to utilize their agency, so they need stages of responsibility Links Read the TRANSCRIPT of this podcast Listen on YouTube Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library The Leading Saints Podcast has ranked in the top 20 Christianity podcasts in iTunes, gets over 500,000 listens each month, and has over 10 million total downloads as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help latter-day saints be better prepared to lead.
