Because when we stop paying attention, we're at the most risk.Angie and Katie kick off a brand-new series designed to equip you to fight the lies of the enemy with the truth of God's Word. The enemy may be on the prowl, but God has already given us everything we need to stand strong.1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)Be alert and of sober mind.

Justice isn't about payback—it's about redemption.Romans 12:19 reminds us to leave vengeance to God, but that's easier said than done.

Join us as we dive into what it truly means to let go and let God work.Romans 12:19 (NIV)Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/https://www.logos.com/https://enduringword.com/https://www.wordhippo.com/https://www.biblegateway.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/Gottlob Schrenk, “Ἐκδικέω, Ἔκδικος, Ἐκδίκησις,” ed.

Episode NotesEpisode 92: Matthew 4 - Not the First Calling of the First DisciplesFeb 13, 2025 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we finish Matthew chapter 4 by looking at the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee and what some say is the calling of the first disciples. Did these men immediately leave everything in order to serve Jesus? We will discover… following Jesus might not be that simple, demanding, or immediate.

Victor Books.The incident recorded here is obviously not the first time Jesus had been in contact with the men whom He called to be His disciples. Luke already had stated that Jesus had healed Simon's mother-in-law which denotes previous contact with Simon and Andrew. This seems to be at least the third time Jesus had contact with these men. In John 1:41 Andrew told Peter that he had found the Messiah. Apparently the men at first did not follow Jesus on a “full-time” basis, for in Mark 1:16–20 (also Matt. 4:18–22) Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John. Mark recorded that that call was before Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum and healed a man who was demon-possessed. It is no wonder Peter invited Jesus home after the synagogue incident. Now, sometime later, Peter and the others were still fishermen. It was at this point, now that Jesus had established His authority (Luke 4:31–44), that He called these men to full-time discipleship.1Show Music:Intro/Outro - "Growth" by Armani Delos SantosTransition Music - produced by Jacob A.

If [you do] not, I will not be able to rise ashore from the cruel [ocean of saṁsāra, the recurring cycle of] birth [and death]. Tell [me], is there anything that is comparable to the unequalled good that a mother does for [her] child? [You are my mother and I am your child, so take care of me accordingly.] An audio version of this video can be viewed on YouTube and a compressed audio copy in Opus format (which can be listened to in the VLC media player and some other apps) can be downloaded from MediaFire .

English translation: Oneself, the heart, the centre, which surges when intellect and ego suffer anguish, is the actual reality of Aṇṇāmalai, which shone between them, Brahmā and Viṣṇu, when pride was deflated, not knowing as desired. Explanatory paraphrase: The actual reality [truth, tattva, import or signification] of Aṇṇāmalai [Aruṇācala], which shone [forth as a column of light] between them, Brahmā and Viṣṇu, when [their] pride was deflated [or for (their) pride to be deflated or destroyed] [because of their] not knowing [or perceiving its top or bottom] as [they] desired, is oneself, the heart, the centre, which surges [ascends, rises high or is exalted] when intellect and ego suffer anguish [despairing because of their not being able to know their real nature, and thereby becoming humble and willing to subside and surrender]. இத்தனுவே நானா மெனுமதியை நீத்தப் புத்தியித யத்தே பொருந்தியக நோக்கா லத்துவித மாமெய் யகச்சுடர்காண் கைபூ மத்தியெனு மண்ணா மலைச்சுடர்காண் மெய்யே. ittaṉuvē nāṉā meṉumatiyai nīttap buddhiyida yattē porundiyaha nōkkā ladduvita māmey ahaccuḍarkāṇ gaibhū maddhiyeṉu maṇṇā malaiccuḍarkāṇ meyyē. பதச்சேதம்: ‘இத் தனுவே நான் ஆம்' எனும் மதியை நீத்து, அப் புத்தி இதயத்தே பொருந்தி அகநோக்கால், அத்துவிதம் ஆம் மெய் அகச்சுடர் காண்கை பூ மத்தி எனும் அண்ணாமலை சுடர் காண் மெய்யே.

English translation: Giving up the mind called ‘this body alone is I', that mind subsiding in the heart by self-attentiveness, seeing the light of ‘I', the non-dual reality, is the actual reality of seeing the light of Aṇṇāmalai, which is called the centre of the world. Explanatory paraphrase: The actual reality [truth, tattva, import or signification] of seeing the light [on] Aṇṇāmalai, which is called the centre of the world, is seeing the light of ‘I' [or heart-light], the non-dual reality, having given up the mati [mind, which is always aware of itself as] ‘this body alone is I', [and] that buddhi [mind or dēhātma-buddhi, the false awareness that a body is oneself] having subsided [and merged] in the heart by aha-nōkku [inward look, looking inside, looking at ‘I' or self-attentiveness].

Lord, form of light unreached by forms of male, female and those who are neither, may you abide in my heart. Explanatory paraphrase: Aṇṇāmalai [Aruṇācala], do not think [of leaving] me to pine away looking upwards [with longing or in despair] like one who has not thought of you. It is not at all appropriate [for you to allow me] to perish as earth [or physical matter] thinking that the filthy body, which is earth, is I. Beloved of my two eyes, without playing any trick [mischief or deception] [on me], [may your] cool love-filled eyes look [at me]. Lord, form of light [the infinite light of pure being-awareness, ‘I am'] unreached by [or transcending] [the finite appearance of all differences such as the] forms of female, male and those who are neither [entirely female nor entirely male], may you abide in my heart.

In an online meeting with Sri Ramana Center, Houston, on 2nd November 2024, Michael James discusses Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu Anubandham, verses 23 and 24: Verse 23: அதுவேமுக் கியவிதய மதன்கண்ணிவ்      வகிலமுமே யமர்ந்தி ருக்கு மதுவாடி யெப்பொருட்கு மெல்லாச்செல்      வங்கட்கு மதுவே யில்ல மதனாலே யனைத்துயிர்க்கு மறிவதுவே      யிதயமென வறைய லாகுஞ் சிதையாநிற் குங்கற்போற் சடவுடலி      னவயவத்தோர் சிறுகூ றன்றால். aduvēmuk khiyavidaya madaṉgaṇṇiv      vakhilamumē yamarndi rukku maduvāḍi yepporuṭku mellāccel      vaṅgaṭku maduvē yilla madaṉālē yaṉaittuyirkku maṟivaduvē      yidayameṉa vaṟaiya lāhuñ cidaiyāniṯ kuṅgaṯpōṯ jaḍavuḍali      ṉavayavattōr siṟukū ṟaṉḏṟāl. பதச்சேதம்: அதுவே முக்கிய இதயம். அதன்கண் இவ் அகிலமுமே அமர்ந்து இருக்கும். அது ஆடி எப் பொருட்கும். எல்லா செல்வங்கட்கும் அதுவே இல்லம். அதனாலே, அனைத்து உயிர்க்கும் அறிவு அதுவே இதயம் என அறையல் ஆகும். சிதையாநிற்கும் கல் போல் சட உடலின் அவயவத்து ஓர் சிறு கூறு அன்று; ஆல்.

English translation: That alone is the principal heart. In it this entire universe is residing. It is the mirror for all things whatsoever. It alone is the home for all riches. Therefore it, the awareness for all sentient beings, is what is declared as the heart. It is not a small portion in part of the perishable, stone-like insentient body. Explanatory paraphrase: That alone is the principal [first, foremost, primary and preeminent] heart. In it this entire universe is residing. It is the mirror for all things whatsoever [the mirror in which each and every thing appears]. It alone is the home for all [spiritual] riches [everything of real value]. Therefore it, [which is] the awareness [the original and fundamental awareness, ‘I am'] for all sentient beings, is what is declared as the [real] heart. It is not a small portion in part of the perishable, stone-like insentient body [the body, which is perishable (or mortal) and insentient like a stone].

English translation: Therefore by the means of fixing the mind in the pure heart, which is composed of awareness, complete dissolution of breath along with inclinations will be achieved automatically. Explanatory paraphrase: Therefore by the sādhana [means or steady and persistent practice] of fixing the mind [attention] in the pure heart, which is composed of awareness [the clear, infinite and eternal awareness ‘I am'], complete [and hence permanent] dissolution [or cessation] of vāyu [breath, prāṇa or life] along with vāsanās [inclinations, namely viṣaya-vāsanās, inclinations to seek happiness in anything other than oneself] will be achieved automatically [or spontaneously].

In a Zoom meeting with the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK on 9th November 2024, Michael discusses Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai verse 1. ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல நவமணிமாலை: Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai Verse 1 அசலனே யாயினு மச்சவை தன்னி லசலையா மம்மையெதி ராடு — மசல வுருவிலச் சத்தி யொடுங்கிட வோங்கு மருணா சலமென் றறி. acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi. பதச்சேதம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, ஓங்கும் அருணாசலம் என்று அறி. Padacchēdam (word-separation): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai-taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi. அன்வயம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, அருணாசலம் ஓங்கும் என்று அறி. Anvayam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai-taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, aruṇācalam ōṅgum eṉḏṟu aṟi. English translation: Though being actually he who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite Mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Arunachalam is exalted. Explanatory paraphrase: Though he [Lord Siva] is actually acalaṉ [he who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Chidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] Mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine Mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the original, natural and fundamental form of Lord Siva], Arunachalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Arunachalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state as pure being]. Padavurai (word-explanation): அசலனே (acalaṉē): actually motionless, actually he who is motionless {acalaṉ is the masculine form of the neuter acalam, a Tamil form of the Sanskrit acala (the negative and opposite of cala, ‘moving', ‘moveable', ‘unsteady', ‘unfixed', ‘inconstant' or ‘fickle'), ‘unmoving', ‘motionless', ‘immoveable', ‘steady', ‘fixed', ‘constant', ‘permanent' or ‘mountain'; and the suffix ē is an intensifier that in this context implies ‘actually', ‘definitely' or ‘certainly'} | ஆயினும் (āyiṉum): though being, though [he] is {ā is a verb that means ‘be', ‘become' or ‘come into being'; āyiṉ is a conditional form of it, ‘if being' or ‘if [anything] is'; and the suffix um when added to a conditional changes its meaning from ‘if' to ‘even if' or ‘though', so āyiṉum means ‘though being' or ‘though [anything] is'} >>> so ‘அசலனே ஆயினும்' (acalaṉē āyiṉum), means ‘Though being actually he who is motionless', thereby implying: Though he [Lord Siva] is actually acalaṉ [he who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears] > so ‘அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும்' (a-c-savai-taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum), means ‘in that assembly hall he dances opposite Mother, who is acalā', thereby implying ‘in that assembly hall [of Chidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] Mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]', and hence this first sentence, ‘அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும்' (acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai-taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum), means ‘Though being actually he who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite Mother, who is acalā', which implies: Though he [Lord Siva] is actually acalaṉ [he who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Chidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] Mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ].

On this episode of ID The Future, we're sharing the second half of an interview between philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer and author and radio/podcast host Justin Brierley. The interview delves into the main arguments of Dr. Meyer's most recent book Return of the God Hypothesis, but it also serves as an update on the status of intelligent design and the growing interest in design arguments in both academia and the public square. In part 2, Meyer refutes the multiverse hypothesis and explains why naturalistic theories of the origin of life fall short.

Federico Faggin is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004. A new groundbreaking theory of consciousness proposes that qualia reside in quantum fields. Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this discussion, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

Misinformation, rumor, psy-ops and propaganda--whatever you want to call the four horsemen of today's media apocalypse—have been with us as long as the media itself. But you have to admit that the arrival of digital technology, led by social media, has given all of those forces outsized power. We still haven't quite come to terms with how tech has shattered things like a shared reality, democracy, civil discourse. That's why today's guest plays a key role in the journalism landscape. Julia Angwin majored in math at the University of Chicago before launching a remarkable career in investigative journalism.  She's a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times on topics of tech and society, a winner and two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory reporting. She's also an entrepreneur, the founder of the Markup, an innovative data-first online newsroom and just this year, she founded Proof News, which builds on the computational techniques of the Markup to hold tech companies accountable. Julia and Eric discuss how she uses the tools of technology to inform journalism; about why reporting is like finding mathematical proofs; how she hopes transparency at Proof will build trust in its journalism; about the role of independent creators in the news environment; and how to hold big tech accountable. Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmProduced by Sound Sapiensoundsapien.comAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.com

In a Zoom meeting with Ramana Kendra, Delhi, on 12th May 2024, Michael James continues the discussion of the meaning and implications of verse 4 of Āṉ

In a Zoom meeting with Sri Ramana Center, Houston, on 4th May 2024, Michael James discusses Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu Anubandham, verse 14. The following is Michael's translation of this verse: வினையும் விபத்தி வியோகமஞ் ஞான மினையவையார்க் கென்றாய்ந் திடலே — வினைபத்தி யோகமுணர் வாய்ந்திடநா னின்றியவை யென்றுமிறா னாகமன லேயுண்மை யாம்.   viṉaiyum vibhatti viyōgamañ ñāṉa miṉaiyavaiyārk keṉḏṟāyn diḍalē — viṉaibhatti yōgamuṇar vāyndiḍanā ṉiṉḏṟiyavai yeṉḏṟumiṟā ṉāhamaṉa lēyuṇmai yām.   பதச்சேதம்: வினையும், விபத்தி, வியோகம், அஞ்ஞானம் இணையவை யார்க்கு என்று ஆய்ந்திடலே வினை, பத்தி, யோகம், உணர்வு. ஆய்ந்திட, ‘நான்' இன்றி அவை என்றும் இல். தானாக மனலே உண்மை ஆம்.   Padacchēdam (word-separation): viṉai-y-um, vibhatti, viyōgam, aññāṉam iṉaiyavai yārkku eṉḏṟu āyndiḍal-ē viṉai, bhatti, yōgam, uṇarvu. āyndiḍa, ‘nāṉ' iṉḏṟi avai eṉḏṟum il. tāṉ-āha maṉal-ē uṇmai ām.   English translation: Investigating for whom are suchlike, karma, vibhakti, viyōga and ajñāna, is itself karma, bhakti, yōga and jñāna. When one investigates, without ‘I' they never exist. Only being permanently as oneself is what is true.   Explanatory paraphrase: Investigating for whom [or to whom] are those [defects] such as karma [action], vibhakti [lack of devotion], viyōga [separation] and ajñāna [ignorance], is itself [or alone] [what will fulfil the purpose and aims of each of the paths of] karma [desireless action or niṣkāmya karma], bhakti [devotion or love], yōga [joining, yoking or harnessing, particularly in the sense of yoking the mind to the object or target of its meditation or to any spiritual practice, and in this context referring to practices whose aim is to bring about ‘cessation of mental activity' (citta-vṛtti nirōdhaḥ)] and jñāna [knowledge or awareness in the sense of true self-knowledge, which is awareness of oneself as one actually is]. When one investigates [oneself keenly enough], [the ‘I' for whom karma, vibhakti, viyōga and ajñāna seem to exist, namely ego, will cease to exist, and] without [that] ‘I' they [namely karma, vibhakti, viyōga and ajñāna] never exist. Only being permanently as oneself [one's own real nature, namely pure awareness] is what is true [or real]. ----more---- This episode can also be watched as a video here and a more compressed audio copy in Opus format (which can be listened to in the VLC media player and some other apps) can be downloaded from here.

Polyvagal theory (PVT) isn't validated by neuroscientists but we can definitely learn from the theory itself. According to the theory, three organizational principles can be distinguished:Explanatory diagram:Hierarchy: The autonomic nervous system reacts in three reaction patterns, which are activated in a specific order.Neuroception: In contrast to perception, it is here a cognition without awareness, triggered by a stimulus such as danger.[14][19]Co-regulation: The need to feel safe enough to allow oneself to be in relationships, which is difficult for traumatized people.[20RESOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvagal_theoryhttps://www.justinlmft.com/post/dorsal-vagal-shutdownhttps://ct.counseling.org/2016/06/polyvagal-theory-practice/GET THE OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
