Sad Boys For Real! Chicago Rapper, Prez Harris, slides to PVTSTCK to discuss touring off his album, "Hourglass," pressure to succeed, feeling like time is passing him by, and balancing relationships & music. In the song, "Emotionless," Drake says, "I always hear people complain about the place that they live / That all the people here are fake and they got nothin' to give / 'Cause they been starin' at somebody else's version of ****." Drake touches on a feeling that everybody knows all too well. Harris mentions how watching the way other people's lives advanced made him feel like time was passing him by. However, it's easy to feel left behind when all you're doing is focusing on what others have. Harris allowed himself to be taken away from music multiple times, and even contemplating giving it up altogether at one point. The feeling of time stopping for no one started to creep up, and he realized he had a choice ti make. Also discussed, getting cheated on, falling in love with music at a young age, and how has changed over the years.

Uwais is getting married in 3 weeks, we discuss how the wedding day might be like.

I think this has been my most important conversation yet, and my hope is that you will first and foremost; CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR/SENATOR and urge this bill to be passed (HB 272-OM'S LAW) and secondly, share this with your friends and family and ask them to do the same. So many women and children are being abused and don't say anything because it is almost always made worse for them. "Getting out" or "Walking away" isn't that easy. No one should have to live a nightmare like Leah did for YEARS. She is my friend. I have other friends facing the same consequences she did, as a result of legal abuse and uneducated "experts" who have no expertise in domestic violence or child abuse. Please message the senator in your county and urge HB272, "Om's Law," to PASS. We have one week. This goes to the senate last week of February. YOUR LEGISLATORhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12u3w5Fxb9_upRC2kWWlkcNjK2MnzYYfDsfvJ4CZp6Qc/edit?usp=sharing TO CONTACT YOUR SENATOR: https://senate.utah.gov/contact Power and Control Wheel https://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/power-and-control/ Utah Domestic Violence Coalition https://udvc.org/ The Safe Child Project https://thepolicyproject.org National Safe Parents Org https://www.nationalsafeparents.org/kaydens-law.html House Bill 272 Bill language: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/HB0272.html Watch proceedings: https://le.utah.gov/FloorCalendars/ House Floor reading and vote 22:18 Cutler's presentation https://le.utah.gov/av/floorArchive.jsp?markerID=126353 Om's Law: Keeping Children Safe From Family Violence Utah House Bill 272 House Judiciary Committee Testimony February 8, 2024 My name is Leah Moses, I'm Om's mom. 9 months ago, my 16-year-old son Om was murdered by his father on Mother's Day weekend during court-ordered parent time. Om was brutally shot twice in the back and once in his face by a 45 caliber handgun bought from a pawn shop on the same State Street in Salt Lake City as the courthouse where I fought in family court for 14 years trying to keep my children safe. I supplied the courts with extensive evidence of Om's father's abuse and the risk to my children, but it fell on deaf ears. This morning it is my impossible task to represent thousands of protective parents and children who share their own, but similar experiences living in violence and who are not safe to speak out because they will be abused, tonight, tomorrow, and this weekend. I mothered in violence for the entirety of Om's 17 years. I never imagined I'd be safe enough to speak the truth publicly, but now I'm no longer hunted. My son stood in the face of lethal danger and freed me. And now I will speak for all of us, in his honor. Om was conceived in the violence of rape and executed as a hostage in the violence of control. Despite years of begging for relief, he was powerless to escape, trapped in childhood by a psychotic parent and ultimately trapped and killed in an enclosed office. Throughout the litigation, even as a young child, Om asked me when the court would allow him to speak. They never did. My ex-spouse was always abusive. I'm not sure during which of the countless early rapes Om was conceived, whether it was when I was shoved in a closet, suffocated in the front seat of a car, drugged and abandoned on a couch or forced under a blanket in a crowded room, but when I was dropped off to planned parenthood with an ultimatum between an abortion or my life, I gave up the life I knew to keep the pregnancy. I chose Om, and our life as prisoners began. He was a 6'3” 280lb PhD psychologist. In public, he maintained a professional appearance using the guise of a model parent, the persona of an enlightened religious yoga instructor, intent on healing sexual trauma, but in private he perpetuated a lifetime of relentless, systematic rape and calculated psychological control. This is what countless abusers do, but court professionals sometimes have little understanding about how abusers operate, and they rarely believe it when told, thanks in large part to attorneys for the abuser and so-called experts attacking credibility and asserting the protective parent is lying, hysterical or alienating. When Om was a baby, I did everything I could to protect him from abuse, but there was no escape from his dad's volatile tirades. It was impossible to avoid the spit spraying our faces when he screamed profanities. When he came home angry, I wedged a chair under the back door handle to buy enough time to hide under Om's crib, breastfeeding to keep him quiet. When he backed us into corners, I shielded Om from his fist brushing our faces, smashing the wall next to my head. Drunk and enraged, he would throw Om crying into the backseat, force me into his car, and then try to push me out speeding down the freeway. I had no reproductive choice. He prohibited contraception. Emotionless, he forced me to watch him flush the small, formed fetus from a miscarriage down the toilet as I bled on the bathroom tile. Rapes continued, and I hid my next pregnancy as long as possible, desperate for my daughter to survive. His power and control escalated, and after a year of secret planning, I moved out at 6 months pregnant. Desperate to lure me back, he promised improvement and I moved back just before delivery. Terrified that hospital staff might detect abuse and take Om from me, I avoided most prenatal care and went to a birth center for delivery. I wanted to protect my child before all else. Towering over us, he would declare “I own you" as if we were his property, and “you'll never survive without me”. We were under constant surveillance, stalked, and required to report every action. I wasn't allowed to work. The threats to kill me and take the children escalated, and I moved out again. People ask why don't victims just leave? It's not that simple. This time I was homeless with a baby and preschooler. We lived in friend's spare rooms, basements, above garages, or out of a car. Isolated, without money or options and convinced by him that I was rejected by my family and friends, I reluctantly forfeited my pro se protective order and moved back. The domestic violence case detective was so mad she said I should never ask for help again, that I'd never be believed. To maintain control, he bought an old mouse-infested cinderblock duplex and demanded that the kids and I live on one side while he lived on the other. He cut all financial resources, forced me to get Medicaid and food stamps. Om and his sister bravely risked kidnapping each time they walked out the door for their normal events like going to preschool, he would take them and refuse contact for days. I stopped calling police when they said “he's the dad, he can do what he wants, you chose him in the first place.” Victims are often blamed constantly in these systems instead of protected, as if we deserve to be further tortured and terrorized. I finally decided to leave for good when I found his old journal stating “I'm a sex addict and a child molester… I'm afraid I'll do it even to my own children”. The flood of realization confirmed years of clues, he was molesting my children. I took the journal and my 15 page statement documenting years of sexual, physical, psychological abuse to police who handed it back to me saying “your statement is too detailed, we could also say we're millionaires, but we're not. You should really be careful out there.” Thinking the court system would protect us, I scraped together a retainer for an attorney. They told me no matter what I presented, the courts are a gamble. Insisting the court call him “doctor”, the commissioner got angry and gave me full temporary custody with usual shared statue parent time, but not based on any of my evidence of abuse. With unsupervised parent time, his arrogance skyrocketed to unrestrained child sexual abuse. My 3 year old daughter disclosed to the pediatrician, therapist, babysitter and children's justice centers about abuse happening at daddy's house. Om consistently described masturbation with dad as “yoga” and the naked boys on dad's computers. The pain of pediatric speculum exams yielded no helpful DNA. The child abuse detective told me they believed the kids, but the prosecutor doubted the win because dad was too smart, and the child was too young. For 90 days I was ordered to restrict all contact with dad or I would be considered complicit in abuse. Then I was told to stop reporting, that I could be jailed if I didn't comply with unsupervised statutory parent time, with extra overnights to make up for his loss. Protective parents are in a double bind, blame on us comes from everywhere, protection from nowhere, or only temporary. Later his relatives disclosed his insidious incest of child cousins, it never stopped. Having custody does not mean children are safe if you must share it with a predator, and send your children to face him alone. Like all protective parents, I faced the impossible choice between living with my children under the crushing weight of perpetual violence, or pursuing divorce and a life of co-parenting with a sociopath, with police, with child protective services, and with the evaluators of the court system. If I had known court orders would not be followed or enforced, that the system wouldn't really help me to protect my children, I might have stayed in abuse, but I'm confident I wouldn't have survived to be in front of you today testifying of the importance of this bill. I always expected he would kill me first. Statistically, the first few months after leaving abuse are the most dangerous. His retaliation for reporting was channeled into our first custody evaluation, entangling us in the complexity of expensive, forced engagement with experts who demonstrated no experience with domestic violence and no understanding of what was happening, yet their opinions determined how our case progressed, in fact, the trajectory of our lives. I was warned by multiple attorneys never to call child protective services, and to never to tell the real truth, or risk losing custody. The court-appointed evaluator declared him to be a loving father, downtrodden by my supposed alienation tactics to hurt the children. I was the problem, according to this expert. This was absurd, but now Om's law will attempt to stop this injustice from continuing in cases in which protective parents are trying to keep their kids safe. I was denied a copy of this expert's report, but it influenced my children's entire childhood, and dramatically changed how our case unfolded, jeopardizing my children and discrediting me. My children continued to disclose abuse to court-ordered experts, while professionals who may have helped us were threatened by the abuser and his attorneys. One therapist had to secure legal counsel when he threatened to have her license revoked for writing a letter detailing her fears of the severity of his child abuse. A custody evaluator formally wrote the court for personal relief from his incessant demands and inappropriate behavior. Not one court-appointed expert petitioned to remove the children from abuse, no matter how obvious their trauma symptoms. This represents a small part of Om's first five years of life. The abuser continued to use the court system and experts as his personal hammer for another 11 years. Family court may appear as small claims court, but it maintains the highest stakes claims. Children are not property. The right to unlimited hearings led to pro se courtroom monologues where he carefully crafted lies to redirect attention away from children's safety and accused me of alienating, which is a pseudo construct abusers frequently rely on to defend themselves. Om's childhood isn't documented in photo albums, but in a thick court docket. Every type of court-ordered therapy and intervention failed. Despite my children's countless pleadings to live with me, we were sent into reunification therapy with a parent coordinator who had no experience with abuse. As a Ph.D., she immediately aligned with him, writing lengthy, outrageous letters to the court and telling my children to “stop asking to live with me, because it would never happen”. I paid thousands for my children to be subjected to her reunification attempts to convince them that by teaching healthy boundaries and body safety, I was alienating them from their loving, well-meaning father. During that time I discovered heavy porn sites he set up in Om's name, and continued to receive more calls from new rape victims reaching out for support. There was nothing therapeutic about “reunification”. It was forced upon us to reunify with the abuser and terrorize us more. For-profit professionals forced us to cooperate or risk contempt. However, reunification therapy was never needed because he already controlled our entire lives. The court labeled us "high conflict" and ordered high-conflict parenting courses with the only trauma-informed expert in all 14 years of our case to recognize abuse. She excused me from the course. 14 years is too long for a child to wait. I had one last way to save my children. I could choose to use the preponderance of evidence to pursue a criminal case which requires a higher burden of proof, or continue with a family court civil case. I expected we would not survive portraying him as a criminal, so I gambled everything I had documented and gave it all to the court-ordered experts. Our second custody evaluation resulted in the most important legal proceeding of our case, when for-profit court experts listed concerning reports including excessive deadly prescription drug DEA records, sexual assault allegations with personal interviews with victims, his solicitation arrest, police investigation of drug-induced rape, andreports of harassment and stalking. Yet, out of fear of being sued by him, my two children were split from each other, and custody of Om was given to his dad. I remember stating on record, “so you're telling me I have to sacrifice my son to save my daughter?” If he was dangerous to one of them, he was dangerous to both, but the court evaluators felt an obligation to appease the abuser. Over a year later, the third custody evaluation was filed in the court without warning, removing all custody from the abuser. No one talked to me or asked if this approach would be safe, even though I knew the abuser better than anyone. I never saw Om again, 3 weeks later he was dead. Most court experts told me that this was an impossible case, to stop trying, that my children would just have to age out. Standing with homicide detectives in the moment I confirmed my son was murdered, we thought to call the current court experts to find out if they were still alive. One answered, “well, that wraps up the custody evaluation” This is who is arguing against this bill, people who see us and our lives as a business. One of the abuser's for-profit, private practice attorneys, has led ardent opponents of this bill intended to increase victims' protection and save children's lives. Opposition typically argues for more ways attorneys can insert alienation in cases like mine, where a parent is desperate to save the children. They also profit from getting courts to order victims to be forced to "reunify" with abusers as a "fix" to this unscientific, undiagnosable nonsense called alienation, which is routinely used to discredit victims begging for protections. Don't be misled by them. They may sound professional, but are profiting off of pain. Supporters of this bill have no financial interest. We simply want to protect children. The legislature is tasked with caring for all Utah citizens, but especially our most vulnerable children desperate for protection. The more I tried to protect, the more I was accused of lying and alienation, to the point of my child murdered. Even with all of the protracted abuse and allegations of rape, I was never able to get a court finding of abuse. Our case was littered with over a decade of court-ordered experts, yet after tens of thousands of dollars, thousands of data points, and following the letter of the law in every order, I was accused as "high conflict", with any protective parenting behavior used against me, while more and more custody was given to the abuser. You don't have to imagine the torment of this, I have shared it with you and I ask you to consider it today. Finally, in the end, the custody evaluation got it right, but it was too late, issued without children's protections in place or notification to me. No one else should have to live like this. What happened to Om will happen again if we do not raise our standards and fix our custody laws. In closing, I ask, What more must a child say to be heard? What must a protective parent do to overcome the credibility deficit? How bad does abuse have to get to be called abuse? How many more children must sacrifice their childhood before we take action? Will we show the nation that Utah does prioritize the child first and always? Thank you.

Darcy Walsh of East Coast DNA sits down for a chat with Silas Bonnell. www.silasbonnell.com 00:00 Introduction featuring Silas Bonnell's Japanese Daylight 00:15 Darcy Walsh chats with Silas 15:25 Sila Bonnell's Japanese Daylight featuring Eliza Rhinelander Silas Bonnell is an incredibly versatile Halifax born singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and instrumentalist. Having made many albums of his own, Bonnell is now branching out to work with other artists creating their vision for their music. Growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada having family roots digging deep into Newfoundland, he grew up with a large influence of East Coast folk music. On top of that his father was a professional gospel singer, (classically trained in Tampa, Florida), the first music he got his hands on were southern gospel records. Silas started singing in a small Baptist church in Dartmouth, NS, where he attended with his family growing up. Instrument wise Silas first picked up the ukelele at age 4 learning to play simple chords, and old tunes such as “I want a girl” by Al Jolson. At age 5 Silas branched off from the ukelele to the acoustic guitar whereby the time he was 8 had saved up enough money to buy his first own guitar. A Yamaha APX 500. By the time Silas had tuned 10, he had around 150 gospel songs under his belt by memory. Writing songs didn't become an interest to Bonnell until he was 15, when he started writing his very first song for a girl he liked at the time. Music production followed then very soon after when he bought his first Scarlett 2i2 pack to record his newly written songs. A few months later after writing a collection of songs, “Tonight” was released as the first single off his new demo album “Pieces of my heart”. Following that came 3 more demo albums (Pretty as a sunset, Letters, and A girl). Bonnell's first actual traction came from his second studio album Lady, where he had songs that gained popularity such as “Pink if she loved me”, (that went 17th on CIOE Top 30) and “Lady” that became a crowd favorite in live shows. Post Lady came Serenity with his second most streamed song to date “Starlight”. Also, in 2022 “Yellow house lane” was released giving fans a country/pop rock album to feel out. Yellow house lane came with new crowd favorites such as country blues song “Alaska” and deeply personal songs like “Antidote”, and “Emotionless”. Into 2023 Bonnell released his first full pop album Lights including new exiting features such as Fiona Clancey (Flowers in your garden), and wil C (Suave and Raindrops). Currently Bonnell is playing shows all over Nova Scotia and working on his next studio album with incredible artists such as Eliza Rhinelander, and Fiona Clancey, as well as instrumentalist's and writers such as Braydon and Leo Cox.

Dr. Ronald Levant earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Public Practice from Harvard University. He was on the faculty of Boston University, where he directed the nationally prominent Fatherhood Project, Rutgers University, Harvard Medical School at The Cambridge Hospital, and the Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University, where he also served as Dean. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychology, The University of Akron, where he was Dean of the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Psychology, and Core Faculty in the Counseling Psycholgy Program. Dr. Levant was the 2005 President of APA, and served as the Editor of the Psychology of Men and Masculinity from 2007-2015. To start the conversation, Dr. Levant goes through his background and some of the research he has participated in. Next, Josh asks him to define the term he coined - Normative Male Alexithymia - meaning the consistent inability of men to convey their emotions. This causes Casey to askswhat the causes are, including any societal factors before Josh asks about its long-term effects and how it gets diagnosed/treated. Switching topics, Casey brings up Dr. Levant's book "The Tough Standard", where he asks why it is easier for women to display their emotions. Next, the guys discuss the long-term effects of having the wrong ideas about masculinity including poor health and violence specifically toward women. Moving forward, Josh asks how we can combine the best parts of new/old masculinity before Casey wraps things up by asking where boys learn masculinity from.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:02 - Dr. Levant's background1:42 - Defining normative male alexithymia13:08 - Societal factors of alexithymia15:40 - Effects on men long-term21:10 - Diagnosis and treatment28:00 - Why is it easier for women to express emotion29:20 - How poor masculinity can lead to poor health32:17 - How poor masculinity can lead to violence towards women43:51 - Blending new/old masculinity50:48 - Where boys learn masculinity54:17 - Difference of psychology in sexual assault & violence_______________________________________________________________________________________________Please help support us by liking, commenting, and sharing our episodes!

The misconception that once a victim leaves an abusive relationship they are safe and can move on leaves the majority of survivors without the support they need and alone as they mitigate post-separation abuse.In her new book, It's Not “High Conflict” it's Post Separation Abuse, Kaytee Gillis, LCSW shares the story of this dynamic in a gentle, yet realistic way.  In this episode, we explore some of the most common themes during post-separation abuse, specifically how our current family court system not only allows this to happen but supports continued abuse.  Kaytee shares some tips on how to make it through this difficult time using the N.E.B. technique for communication with an abusive ex (Necessary, Emotionless, and Brief). The importance of Never Assessing the Patterns (N.A.P.) by labeling your ex-partner as a Narcissist or using the term abuse in the courtroom.  And we also discuss the all too real experience of having to respond and attend family court without legal representation due to financial abuse.Kaytee is a psychotherapist, author, and consultant with a passion forworking with survivors of relationship and family trauma.  Her recent book, It's Not High Conflict, it's Post Separation Abuse, sheds light on the way abusers take advantage of the legal system to continue their abuse. Her blog on Psychology Today, Invisible Bruises, posts articles in supportof family and relationship trauma survivors. Kaytee has been featured on Psychology Today, iHeart radio, Psychotherapy Networker, The Dr. Wendy Walsh Show, CP24 News out of Toronto, Newsweek, Shaye Ganam, and others.Kaytee has given trainings for The Zur Institute on recognizing patterns of domestic violence and helping survivors move forward.

I buried myself so deep in my thoughts, all alone with nowhere to go.

By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today, LLC. Updated For 2023 There's no such thing as an emotionless visit with a Patient. Every Patient feels the vision you have for them and the care journey you intend FOR them the moment they: pick up a phone to make an appointment; walk in your door; navigate your social media; and walk into or out of your exam room or lobby. If it is true that every Physician ends up somewhere in life wouldn't it be great if at the end of your career you and your Patient(s) ended up somewhere you intended to be, on purpose? Easier said than done, right? Especially because of how difficult it is to be a Physician today. You see the topic of customer service (or lack thereof) and hospitality in healthcare is important to me because we see so many entrepreneurial Physicians who cast their clear vision of a preferred future over their entire patient panel and practice. Their vision for patient care is clear. They've trained their staff to serve Patients with kindness, patience and grace. From the interior design decision in the practice to the artwork choices on the wall. They understand that everything communicates! In Concierge Medicine we see this as well. It's unique in the healthcare delivery space as it is informing some of us (as Patients and Physicians) about how healthcare could be and should be for everybody. Now, not everyone understands it but it does provide both Physicians and Patients a standard of customer service, attention to detail and hospitality that I believe more medical practices should live up to. To me, Concierge Medicine serves as a guide or, a north star.

The most difficult part of faith to me, is the part where you have to actually have faith. Consider this definition, and think of the implications of it against the backdrop of our world today:By faith, man completely submits his intellect and his will to God. (CCC 143)Think about what is being requested here. If I completely give my intellect and will to anything, wouldn't that just make me an automaton or a robot? How gullible do you think I am? You know, blind faith is how cults get started! The definition above always seemed too extreme. I could not subscribe to without a very compelling reason to do so, with ample evidence and reason behind why I would ever submit wholly to anything.First, to even bring me to the table to consider this deal, the product or service needs to offer an amazing deal, a prize that cannot be gotten anywhere else through any other vendor.I have already written about the efforts I've given toward things of this world, such as alcohol, knowledge, work, and exercise, but in those pursuits I didn't give complete power over myself. You might say I divided up my intellect and will between a few pursuits at a time, but never fully to any single thing. While drinking I never reached anywhere near the point of alcoholic nihilism like that of Leaving Las Vegas. I certainly never won my age group in any marathons or foot races, proving that I could have trained harder. At work, I may throw myself into tasks but eventually I slack off or burnout. I don't know that I've ever given myself completely to anything.While I pursued those things, I imagined that I could still be good, or more specifically, virtuous. Obviously I was more virtuous with exercise as my highest priority rather than alcohol, but what I want and desire to be is to be vigilant in staying virtuous. From the self-help books of today, to Stoicism and Epicureanism, to Confucianism, to Buddhism, a code of ethics can be found in a thousand flavors. Each can be applied for living virtuously and righteously, to a high degree of success.For a time I was enamored with Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. In fact, I still am. He recorded an amazing list of thoughts on living righteously, as he simultaneously tried to halt the rise of a rival Christian ethics that was catching fire among citizens of the empire. Today, a modern Stoic movement's rise is gathering steam among the secular world, as its core teachings fit into a inward looking self-reliance, meditation, and “mindfulness” (which seems to be the secular term for prayer that we use today). To this day, I refer back to certain passages in my dog-eared copy of Marcus Aurelius's thoughts. For instance, this passage is powerful to me:Whatever anyone does or says, I must be a good man. It is as if an emerald, or gold or purple, were always saying: ‘Whatever anyone does or says, I must be an emerald and keep my colour.' (VII.15)The book contains an amazing set of ideas for living, many of which you can find strong parallels in the Gospels in the words of Jesus. Verses on forgiveness, kindness, strength, and the fleeting nature of life jump off the page. Marcus Aurelius's writing contains a remarkable worldview that works well, but, in my opinion, there is one crack in the Stoic concrete that the ice of life wedges apart: the Stoic looks for help from within, while the Christian looks for help outside, from God. The inward vs. outward gaze makes all the difference.I have already learned the hard way that my willpower alone does not work, or does not work for long whenever I have tried. Willpower and discipline come from the self, but without connecting the mind and body to the external God, we cannot overcome our own built-in flaws. I have character flaws that cannot be unwound from inside because they are written on my bones and brain. The power to overcome these flaws cannot start from within me, because the power doesn't live in me. The power is outside of me, and I need to let it in to be there. If I don't let it in, I can't find it. Once I let the Holy Spirit in, then I can create a “little chapel in the heart” where I can go for strength and trust, to remove anxiety and fear. In addition, the Stoic method works best for the strong, not the weak, ill, or elderly. It approaches life's problems from a position of strength. Emotionless love and shades of forgiveness exist in Marcus Aurelius, but nothing like the forgiveness that Jesus commands. The best example is when Peter asks Jesus how many times we should forgive someone, and he throws out a number, seven. Is seven times enough?I can hear the wheels turning in Peter's head: “Hey, Jesus, about the whole forgiveness thing, what's the actual maximum before we can hate or discard the person again without feeling bad?” I can almost hear him thinking about someone that he's irritated with as he's asking, probably his brother Andrew or one of the other apostles.Jesus delivers one of his greatest one-liners on forgiveness, shooting down Peter's question. “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.”* Probably not what Peter was looking for in the answer but the one he needed. Again, I can imagine him nodding and thinking, “Wow, I was almost to seven times forgiving Andrew. I mean, I was thinking that in basketball after seven fouls you get the bonus and free throws, but I'm not even close. He gets to commit seventy more fouls and I have to keep forgiving him.” I don't think anyone is as relatable as Peter, since his weaknesses and eye for shortcuts do not seem that far off from my own.If anything makes the Christian message stand out from all others, it's the approach. Rather than coming from a position of strength, the message of Jesus comes from a position of vulnerability and humbleness. Jesus comes to serve the weak, not the strong. This unexpected twist on power flips the script on all deities. We do not gain God's favor by our ability, but by our need for God. And God gives the grace if we only ask for it. We used to joke, “What is the best kind of beer?” The answer was “Free beer.” This grace from God is free and it really is much better than free beer, because there is no headache. I just have to ask for help and God fortifies me against anything. I need to be weak, and need help, to be strong. Admitting this is hard, asking for help goes against much of our worldly instincts. This message reverberates through the entire Christian era, even in a recent homily from Pope Francis.“Be reconciled: the journey is not based on our own strength. No one can be reconciled to God on his or her own…What enables us to return to him is not our own ability or merit, but his offer of grace…The beginning of the return to God is the recognition of our need for him and his mercy, our need for his grace. This is the right path, the path of humility. Do I feel in need, or do I feel self-sufficient?”*If a code of ethics is all we want or need, then Christianity would never have got off the ground. Even the ancient world had plenty of self-help philosophies. What sets Jesus apart from others is the claim that he is God, but he serves everyone, forgives everyone, and suffers. All of this from a position of weakness rather than strength. This is a wild claim to make and either puts him into one of two categories: he is either telling the truth, or he's insane. If he is insane, then he's lying about being the son of God. If he is lying, the resurrection is bogus. If the resurrection does not occur, then all of the New Testament can be thrown out. St. Paul said this very clearly, that all is in vain without the resurrection. Even the ethics and morals are moot because the ancient world already had plenty of moral teachers, ones that were not insane. If virtue is the sole goal, then options already existed.Thus, it all comes down to the resurrection. All of it: every miracle and parable, every clever comeback and turning of the cheek. If the resurrection does not occur, then the whole New Testament is a tale like any other mythology. As I mentioned earlier, one of the turning points in my loss of faith came from asking questions about the empty tomb and that it seemed easy to remove a body and claim resurrection. Not only that, but the different Gospel accounts of the empty tomb still conjure up those old doubts in me. Were there guards posted at the tomb or not? Who did the women see there? Was it one man, or two men? Or an angel? Exactly how many women came to the tomb and can we get the names please? Was the stone still in place or already rolled back? How heavy was the stone? How were the women going to roll back the stone for anointing if it was sealed? Were they at the wrong tomb? Did Mark add the resurrection paragraph after his first writing, and if so, did he think the empty tomb spoke for itself or did he add it to “fix” his story later on? Where is this tomb?This can go on and on. It has gone on among scholars, for a long time. I am not going to go any further into my former doubts on the tomb, because I stumbled across a used book in a Goodwill thrift store called Who Moved the Stone? which addresses all of these questions. I'm glad someone else already did the heavy lifting. I just needed to read this short book in a single sitting to soak up the answers I was longing for regarding the tomb.I'm also not going to go further on the tomb because of one other major reason that I cannot explain away: I cannot fathom the immense drive and spirit of the apostles, who tended to waffle, quibble, and argue. The flaws and frailties of these men make them clearly human, not fiction. And they went from cardboard to steel alloy in conviction, strength, and boldness. Their message never wavered in the aftermath. The only explanation to me is that they did indeed experience and confirm the resurrection of Jesus. All of the apostles were fearful and had fled to hiding places during and after the crucifixion, but then become recklessly fearless and willing to suffer any amount of pain to tell the world what happened.These first Christians didn't give their lives for a philosophical system…they died to uphold what they knew because they had seen it with their own eyes. Had it been a lie, then why die for it? … One after another these eyewitnesses gave up their lives defending the truth they had seen: Jesus Christ crucified and risen from the dead. (The Search, p.119)Suddenly, somehow, Peter goes from being weak and furtive to a fortress of faith. He is crucified upside down thirty years later, having preached the message his entire life, with no education beyond that of a fisherman. The other apostles fare the same. That is, badly, as they are stoned, burned, stabbed, beaten, boiled, clubbed, and crucified. All the while they are relentless in spreading this message, alone, in different areas of the known world, telling the same story. If they were up to clever tricks about the tomb or Jesus' body, someone would have cracked and tattled. Moreover, if the authorities, Jewish or Roman, had stolen or hidden the body, they would have just produced it and ended this tall tale.Something happened, something profound, mysterious, impossible and life-changing for these people. Robert Barron says it best:“That this dejected band would spontaneously generate the faith that would send them careening around the world with the message of Resurrection strains credulity. What is undeniably clear is that something had happened to Jesus - something so strange that those who witnessed it had no category to describe it.” WOF Bible, p.280).With daily readings I have come to believe. My faith has come by effort and truly needs continual conversion to stay strong. I did not fall off a horse, like Paul did. The Church talks about continual conversion and the need to restore the belief, and this is true. In coaching there is a saying that you need to refill your “E-tank,” your “Emotional Tank,” from time to time. That is true of coaching, and it's true of faith. Belief can feel like a gas tank that needs a fill-up, which is why daily prayer is so beneficial to it. Faith is also like fitness, where as soon as you stop exercising the backsliding into sloth and muscle atrophy begins. Whenever we lose focus, we start to slide, and the world has many distractions to pull that focus away. In fact, modern technology is entirely based on pulling our focus away, which is why programmers and marketers have “focus” groups and A-B advertising tests to figure out how to pull your focus away from life so that instead we will focus on their products and services. All of this drains the E-Tank of faith.As an example of losing that focus, and how quickly and easily it can happen: this morning I had spent time reading and praying and felt ready for the day, both in spirit and body. I got into my car and started driving. At the first stoplight a driver didn't realize the light had turned green and I almost knee-jerkingly wanted to honk and call the man an idiot. I find this remarkable, as I had just spent time reading about humility, and the lack of it among the Pharisees. “For they preach but they do not practice.”* I'm such a Pharisee. How easy it is to be moral and righteous when alone, and how difficult in real interactions with people. So many of us today, particularly in our cars, leap to anger almost instantly, over minuscule events and perceived insults. I'll apply that same sentiment to social media, which is the greatest poison to our peace of mind of all modern invention. At least in my car, only I can hear whatever cruel whim flits between my ears. Not so on Facebook and YouTube comments, where we are all free to spew angsty discord to the entire world.The human heart and mind so quickly drift from intentions and hopes, and so I cannot imagine the remaining eleven apostles, who were ordinary men, sticking to their wits and resolve with such commitment unless they were utterly convinced of the rising of Jesus. This accomplishment was not completed behind closed doors, by reading and writing, but by interaction in the world in the face of monstrous opposition. They did not bring the message by the sword, but rather the sword was put to them. These ordinary people did not flinch or crumble, as if their sign of the cross made their spirit, if not their bodies, impervious to the slings and arrows of this world.Now, if they had solely come up with a great idea or story that satisfied our hearts, they might have convinced only gullible people to believe. If that were the case, then the powers of the world wouldn't have worried about them. But the apostles took this idea of the risen Jesus into the heart of the intellectual world of Jerusalem, and shockingly, won the argument. The eleven didn't flee to the hinterlands to start proclaiming, they returned to the very location of the trial and death of Jesus, where witnesses lived and where the events occurred.[There is]…the indisputable fact that Christianity was gaining adherents at a prodigious pace. The movement was spreading beyond all reasonable expectation...The terrific persecution of Saul, involving an inquisition to places as far distant as Damascus, shows that four years later it had grown to really alarming proportions.*Put this fact together with who first witnessed and started to tell of the risen Jesus. The women at the tomb were first, and Mary Magdalene explicitly is mentioned. The very first voice that recognizes and announces the missing body and resurrection is a woman who had “seven devils” driven out of her and was a “sinful” woman. If spinning a yarn, the Gospel writers would have posted someone of political or worldly significance. Perhaps someone like Caiaphas, the high priest, might have come to the tomb and said, “I was wrong. I can't believe it, but it's true,” and thrown himself into prayer. But no, the witness to the most important event in history is a “fallen” woman, who would not have clout, nor even enfranchisement among women. Yet she is the chosen witness, fitting with the “last will be first” of Jesus' teachings. The empty tomb, as seen by the women, is undisputed. There seems to be no one arguing that the body is gone and the burial clothes were left behind. The only argument seems to be about what happened to the body, but not about the empty state of the tomb and the women being the first to discover it.The second voice is Peter's, the fisherman, and his first proclamation starts with something funny, assuring that he and his cohort are not drunk. “These people are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.”* That he needed to say this suggests that he knew this message sounded radical and insane. Without any education or platform to deliver knowledge, he begins by telling people, “Really, people, I'm not on drugs.” But the message is not aimed at simpletons, rather he delivers it to “devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.”* This implies both uneducated people and intellectuals. If this were all a charade and tale, the leader would need to be someone steeped in rhetoric and debate, to handle the rebuttals and logical criticisms that surely came immediately. But it's a man who catches fish for a living, who somehow convinces thousands upon thousands that what he has seen is true, in the city where the event occurred. Peter is not a genius or shrewd salesman, but after Jesus' death his character is altered dramatically. I often think of the saying, “The truth requires no rehearsal.” This is why salespeople and lawyers need to rehearse arguments, demonstrations, and pitches: because there is a roundabout angle to getting to the “truth.” Peter is able to speak plainly, from the heart, and people believe him, unrehearsed, because he's telling the truth and wouldn't be able to convince anyone if he were telling a contrived fiction. He doesn't have the training and toolkit to do that. His transformation is unexplainable without the Holy Spirit filling him with grace. The same can be said for the others who became warriors of faith after having so recently been trembling and afraid at the crucifixion, hiding out, even returning to their old jobs after being devastated at the death of Jesus, thinking that he had not “redeemed Israel” after all.“It took an objective encounter with the risen Jesus to crystallize the disciples' faith in Him and cause them to proclaim His resurrection. Visions and subjective experiences would not have done it. Something had been seen. Something real.”*“Gethsemane's cowards became Pentecost's heroes. This is inexplicable without the Resurrection. Had prestige, wealth, and increased social status accrued to new believers when they professed Christ and His resurrection, their profession would be logically understandable. In fact, however, their "rewards" were of a different type, eventually involving lions, crucifixion, and every other conceivable method of stopping them from talking.”*I spent many years refuting and mocking the idea of the resurrection of Jesus. I have made many rude thoughts about it, siding with the doubters and logicians, writing off miracles as artifacts of an age where the world was haunted by demons. In reality, I guess my abandonment of Christianity was one response, because if you do not accept the resurrection, then the only answer is total abandonment of the faith. St. Paul has said the same, as have many others. Without the resurrection, what's the point of it all?I cannot explain how resurrection can occur, nor do I need to, because I believe now that events can happen beyond our comprehension, that science does not and will never explain everything. Even if life is discovered on other planets, or our physicists take us to the depths of the quantum world, and biology cures the last disease, and psychologists can explain away and prescribe solutions for all mental ailments, nothing can replace the need for God in my heart, as I have followed it all the way down to the end of the line, and I know that the answer to all questions is through faith, by surrendering my will and intellect to belief in the resurrection of Jesus. The flaw of humanity is real, and I find nothing more convincing than the resurrection of Jesus as the cure, for the forgiveness of me and my enemies, as the only way to live in the world and hold on to one another for the promise of the next. There is only one path to removing hate, and that is forgiveness and love, and that is why the power of the Christian message never dies. Right now the world may be called “post-Christian” but it's not, as nothing the secular world can offer will ultimately replace the message of love and forgiveness through God. The United States and Chinese empires of today will fall away like every other empire before it, like the USSR, the Third Reich, the Austro-Hungarians, the Ottomans, the Hapsburgs, the Holy Roman empire, the Romans, the Greeks, and a thousand other willed sand castles of mankind, yet the truth of faith will endure. People have in the past and will again in the future use, abuse, and twist the faith to make it a tool of worldly power, but the center will hold because love and forgiveness shine through any lies in the end. Straying from that cannot go forever because the believers are like yo-yos, who must come back to the starting point. Nothing could shake the power of the message that empowered the very first believers of Jesus, and time and again those who hold steadfast to the Golden Rule correct the errant ways of a drifting faith. To this day the power of the Word remains fully charged, and this is because of the resurrection. From a position of weakness, forgiveness, and love, we are saved from death, and the faith will carry that forward and never end. While we quibble over traffic, split our families over politics, moralize over sexuality and death, obsess with celebrities and materialism, entertain ourselves with movies and music, and distract ourselves with phones and computers, the righteousness of Jesus' message and resurrection remains unbothered. Even if Christians go back into hiding for a thousand years, and the followers are once again hunted down, as they are today in parts of the world, the faith will never die - because there is nothing better on offer, nothing like resurrection and the forgiveness of sins, nothing above it, nothing with more truth, and nothing more satisfying to the heart. We are the inheritors of the greatest mystery of all time. We are the same as those originals, lost and found, over and over again. We may start out like Saul, but end up like Paul, unable to explain how or why it happened, just as we can't fully explain the resurrection. Once you choose to believe it, you don't have to explain it. I just know that it is real and that I have changed.“The phenomenon that here confronts us is one of the biggest dislodgements of events in the world's history, and it can be accounted for only by an initial impact of colossal drive and power…a habitual doubter like Thomas, a rather weak fisherman like Peter, a gentle dreamer like John, a practical tax gatherer like Matthew, a few seafaring men like Andrew and Nathanael, the inevitable women, and at most two or three others…seriously, does this rather heterogeneous body of simple folk, reeling under the shock of the Crucifixion, the utter degradation and death of their Leader, look like the driving force we require? Frankly it does not…Something came into the lives of these very simple and ordinary people that transformed them.”* This is a public episode.

Today's passage, “The difference between emotion and feeling.” Feeling your feelings and emoting or reacting to feelings is not the same thing. Many of us confuse emotion with feeling. Emotions are felt through experience. Rupi Kaur in Milk and Honey writes,  “i don't know what living a balanced life feels like when i am sadi don't cry i pourwhen i am happyi don't smile i glowwhen i am angryi don't yell i burnthe good thing aboutfeeling in extremesis when i lovei give them wingsbut perhapsthat isn'tsuch a good thingcause they alwaystend to leave andyou should see mewhen my heart is brokeni don't grievei shatter”What are emotions? When we vent, emote or react, what we are truly doing is operating on autopilot, allowing our primitive parts, including our amygdala, take over, while becoming inwardly depressed that we can't ‘get a handle' on our feelings. But, it's all a ruse because true feelings can be felt without any outward expression.Think of a time when your child, friend or partner spoke in a way that was instantly interpreted or perceived by you as a personal affront.  Your ego intercepted the message and you emoted. The regret over these type of reactions are an emotional hangover in and of itself.  What are feelings? To experience feelings is to become the witness of whatever is elevating, igniting or bothering you. It's similar to meditation in that we pause and observe the thoughts and feelings that flow in space. We become the witness for every interaction we have with others.  To feel without emoting is the highest form of consciousness there is. It goes without saying that emoting is a bridge burner in creating intimacy with your children, intimacy with your romantic partners, intimacy in every type of relationship.Drake who wrote In my feelings and Emotionless, rapped in the latter, ‘They always ask, "Why let the story run if it's false?" This is to say, why not react this personal affront, where's your outrage? To which he responds, "You know a wise man once said nothing at all."Connect with me: Instagram.com/megan_nycmom 

Welcome back to another episode of the Timtalks Podcast. Episode 5, we look at the dangers of being emotionless. I find that many people have experience heartbreak and bad experience; be it relationships or trauma to the point that they no longer are in touch with their emotions. This indirectly affects that relate with others and themselves. They detach from reality of life. Hence, in this podcast I speak about the affects that it can have on your mental well-being and how to find yourself again. God bless you !
