In this episode, Craig and Adam speak with Stuart Kendall about Bataille's confrontation with catastrophe, the “privileged instant,” and the strange oscillation between order and excess in his writing. The conversation explores how Guilty stages a meditation on war, nonknowledge, and the limits of philosophy at the edge of historical disaster.

"This piece was an exploration of space and the principle of formlessness. The recording very much inspired me to move away from typical form and structure. Instead exploring space and how form returns to formlessness after having manifested." Wind bells in Ohta Ward reimagined by James Nicholls.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Jenny McCarthy to talk about the personal journey that led her to launch Formless Beauty—a cosmetics brand redefining what “clean beauty” really means. What began as a health transformation for Jenny, prompted by autoimmune struggles and a genetic mutation diagnosis, quickly evolved into a deeper frustration with the lack of transparency in the beauty industry.Formless Beauty was born out of necessity, not trend-chasing. Jenny reveals how she went from frustrated consumer to full-time founder and CEO, dedicating herself to creating products that exclude over 900 questionable ingredients—phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and more. This isn't a white-labeled celebrity brand; it's a mission-driven line that has earned trust from immunocompromised users, including cancer and lupus patients.Throughout the episode, Jenny breaks down the problems with the current “clean beauty” landscape, including misleading marketing tactics, unregulated terms, and self-appointed certifications. She also calls attention to the alarming rise in young children using full-face cosmetics, urging parents to get educated about ingredients that could disrupt hormonal development.Jenny's passion and leadership are undeniable—from formulating a water-resistant, toxin-free mascara to hosting weekly TikToks to educate her audience. Her story is about advocacy, integrity, and building something she couldn't find on the shelves. Tune in to hear how Formless Beauty is changing the clean beauty narrative—and why it's not about hype, but health.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to Jenny McCarthy and Her Journey(1:01) Jenny's Health Journey and the Birth of Formless Beauty(3:27) The Challenges of Creating Clean Beauty Products(6:12) Building a Brand with EWG Guidelines(9:40) Overcoming Obstacles in Clean Beauty Innovation(12:38) The Importance of Transparency in Beauty Products(15:36) Addressing the Misconception of Celebrity Brands(17:41) The Impact of Social Media and Influencers on Young Consumers(21:15) The Need for Role Models in Beauty and ConfidenceTo learn more about Jenny McCarthy, visit her social media.

Perhaps one of the reasons all the various religions in the world are fighting and killing each other is because they never took the time to clarify to one another what, precisely, they meant by the term "God"? Often when atheists criticize religion, they only conceive of God along Abrahamic lines, and poorly at that. But the Abrahamic notions of God (while also being more diverse than many realize), are but a small part of the discourse. In India, during the course of our 9000 year (or so, by conservation estimates) civilization in which we have focused the main efforts of cultural life on spirituality, many very subtle and refined notions of God were realized! For example:1. Nirguna Nirākara, God who is Impersonal and Formless like what the Buddhist and the Advaita Vedantin proposes2. Saguna Nirākara, God who is Personal but Formless like we find in Abrahamic religion 3. Saguna Sākara, God who is both Personal and with Form (like Kālī, Krishna etc.) 4. The Avatāra, God as an incarnation on earth (Rāma, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Chaitanya, Ramakrishna)To name a few! Some traditions on the subcontinent favor one of these over the others. Some take an exclusive view, some prefer a more hierarchical, inclusive approach and yet others, like our tradition, maintain a pluralistic position: all these conceptions (and in fact all conceptions of God) are all equally valid since God, the Absolute Reality, can never be limited! There is no end to what we can discover in Her, no end to what She can reveal to us! Having said that, what is the Tāntrik view on God? Since Tantra is largely a theistic tradition (oriented around the idea of God), in this lecture, we track some of the various concepts of God that have emerged over the years. This is part of an introductory series of lectures on the foundational ideas of Tantra.

This sermon explores how God brings order out of chaos, beginning with creation in Genesis and continuing through the life and teachings of Jesus. It highlights the brokenness in our world—spiritual, moral, and personal—and shows how God's Word and presence restore purpose, peace, and meaning. Through biblical insight and real-life reflection, it calls us to trust in God's design for true human flourishing.

Taking refuge and making vows are not subjects we speak about in casual conversation, even with ourselves! Traditionally, we think of a formal ceremony where a teacher is initiating a group of students into the commitment of embracing Buddhism as their path.Read the Journal while listening

In episode 212 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by one of the anonymous members of Wrath of Logarius. They coined the term "Formless Black Metal" and I wanted to know what that is.

Send us a textBhakti yoga involves transcending the forms we worship to reach the formless divine essence; persistent duality becomes an obstacle when it creates a new ego identity based on being "the devotee."• The ultimate goal is to dissolve the separation between worshipper and worshipped• Emotional highs in devotional practices can be beautiful but shouldn't become attachments• Fear of ego death prevents many devotees from complete surrender• Even identifying as a "servant of God" can become a subtle form of spiritual pride• True surrender is not emotional declaration but dissolution of identity• Devotional activities without self-inquiry become distractions• Bhakti without knowledge (jnana) leads to stagnation• True devotion matures from "I love God" to "What am I?" to "I am this formless awareness"• Jnana and bhakti are two wings of the same bird - both essential for spiritual freedomJoin me on Discord to continue the discussion.

Send us a textUnderstanding Brahm Gyana: A Journey to Self-RealizationIn this episode of the Bearded Mystic Podcast, host Rahul N Singh delves into the concept of Brahm Gyana, the knowledge of Brahman that leads to self-realization and oneness with Formless Consciousness. Drawing from his personal experiences and lifelong association with the Sant Nirankari Mission, Rahul explains how this divine knowledge transforms life and provides tools for meditation, reflection, and awareness. He discusses the role of the Satguru in imparting Brahm Gyana, the process of realization through shedding ego, and the importance of living a life rooted in non-duality. He also shares practical steps and principles to apply this wisdom in daily life. The episode encourages listeners to pursue Brahm Gyana for a deeper understanding of their true nature.00:00 What is Brahm Gyana00:16 Introduction03:55 Watch out for the subtle ego!04:59 What is Brahm Gyana?07:50 Steps to realize Nirankar09:50 How is the Brahm Gyana different to spiritual teachings?11:12 Importance of a Guru17:49 Impact of Brahm Gyana21:17 Applying Brahm Gyana in Daily Life24:11 Some practical tips25:56 Concluding ThoughtsVisit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Buy The Bearded Mystic Podcast Merch: https://thebeardedmysticpodcast.myshopify.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/Support the show

Feel God saying- 'that thorn in your side (that job, that illness, that person), is to bring you closer to Me, to lock you inside of Me, inside of My Love, inside of My Healing, inside of My Will, so that you'll stop leaving. Don't let the appearance of this world make you forget that you're in Me. That I'm all around you. Just listen, when the noise becomes too much, listen for Me. When you listen to sound, the very listening is Me. The Silence and Sound are not separate. The Formless and Form are not separate. I Am not separate from you. Surrender. Soften.    Relax into Me-- the fulfillment of your greatest Desire.' I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot!

Put your attention on the highest." -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi "I am love; if you come close to me, something will start dancing in your heart. Allow it." -Osho "Am I not here? I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I t the source of your Joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you." -Virgin of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, December 12, 1531-From the Original Nican Mopohua recorded by Antonio Valeriano. "Jesus is the beginning, the means and the end of all desires. As I was concerned about the state of my soul, all of a sudden my adorable Jesus came and told me:"My daughter, do not be concerned, for I alone am the beginning, the means and the end of all your desires." With these words I calmed myself in Jesus. May everything be for the glory of God, and may His Holy Name be blessed." -Luisa Piccarreta, Book of Heaven "The path is simple: organize your heart around love and your mind around truth.  This how we live a divine life." -Isha Das "When you listen to sound the very listening is the silence. Silence and sound are not separate." -J Krishnamurti "If it's from God, it'll come with His Peace." -IG @faithfulfootprints "It is by God's Grace that we think of God." -Ramana Maharshi "Do not fear anything; nothing will happen to you against My Will." -Jesus to St. Faustina in Her Dairy "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -2 Corinthians 12 

Nikki & Brie are fired up because they're joined by someone they've admired for a long time: TV host, movie star, entrepreneur, mom, wife, and all-around badass Jenny McCarthy! From watching Jenny change the game on MTV to being a panelist on The Masked Singer, Nikki & Brie have felt a special connection to her. Jenny gives them the lowdown on what really happened before the cameras started rolling on Singled Out, growing up as a fighter in Chicago, the challenges of motherhood, why this season of The Masked Singer is going to be a must-watch, being married to Donnie Wahlberg, and what it's like to be in the spotlight when it comes to being in public relationships, something all three of them identify with. Jenny also explains why she started a makeup company, Formless Beauty, and how it's different from anything on the market. She even sent some samples to Nikki and Brie…however, one of the Garcia Twins didn't share! To close out the episode, Jenny shares her Inspiration & Affirmation, which is all about truly loving yourself.

You're silently knowing-- only God is here, only Love is here, and I Am that.  "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name." -Exodus 33:17    I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com p.s.

Proceed with the thing, you will reach a high position. Trust me." -Maharajji "Lord, I don't want to be paralyzed with uncertainty. Help me to follow your voice even when I have questions. Please direct me as I move forward, and keep me in the middle of your will." -Chris Tiegreen "Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way.]" -Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP "Doubt is an unstable state where your foot is neither on this shore nor on the other. This leads to tension. One way or the other, take a direction and regain your footing. Have you noticed that you usually doubt the things that are positive in your life? You don't doubt negative things so much. You doubt a person's honesty, and you believe in his dishonesty. When someone is angry with you, you have no doubt about his anger. But when someone says he loves you, a doubt creeps in: Does he really love me? When you are depressed, do you ever think: Am I really depressed? No, you accept your depression as a fact. Yet when you are happy, you doubt: Am I really happy; is this what I really wanted? You doubt your capability, but never your weakness. Look at this tendency to doubt the positive things in your life. Doubt the negative and put your trust in the positive. Put doubt in its proper place and doubt the doubts." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, A Note to a Sincere Seeker "There is a breakthrough breaking through. The atmosphere is heavy with blessings and the Lord is saying, "Any moment now! Stay in position! Prepare!" Do not back track! Deny the enemies lies and tactics. This is your time!" -@Godlywaiting "Old feelings will resurface. Old thought patterns will resurface. Things you thought you got over will come back up. But who you are in relation to them is what changes. You don't have to hold so tight like you once did. You have a greater capacity now. You have the chance in the moment of extreme discomfort, to know yourself beyond it. These things don't come back up as a punishment. It's to show you who you really are. Be still. Be gentle with yourself. You're doing amazing!! I love you!!" -@sistercody via IG "Just because 'seeming' challenges come up, does not mean that you're not Self-Realized, or Spiritually Enlightened." -Ray A. McCloud

Join us for the SoulPod Meet-Up on February 13th at 8 pm EST.In this episode of Here and Now: In a highly meditative fashion, Ram Dass speaks about the spiritual journey and how it is a journey of the heart. The intellect, while an exquisitely powerful tool, cannot know ultimate truth.Ram Dass explores the forms we must use to get beyond the intellect, including meditative practices and chanting. He talks about the identities we create with our minds and how we were born into the illusion of separateness. But the way the dance works best is that we keep shifting forms and understand that all these forms will take us to that which has no form.Ram Dass is joined by Krishna Das to chant “Jai Radha.” Ram Dass explains how it is like a love song between formless and form.“This is like a love song between formless and form, between Father and Mother, between the cow herdsmen and the Gopi, between Radha and Govinda.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every time thoughts come as to how it's going to happen, when it's going to happen, close that body's eyes... fold its hands in front of it, and go back down into that bowing, back into that Humbleness.   Bow back into God, back into your Shelter, like you're ducking under the doorframe back inside where it's quiet, where there is no world, nothing to solve, nothing to fix, nothing to think about.  That's the point.   Not good humanhood, not bad humanhood, Christhood.   Make that your mantra for a week,   and when you're saying it, you're unseeing good people, you're unseeing bad people,  you're unseeing you, the 'people' you think you are, you're unseeing all the people, all the world. Only Christhood is here, which means only this Loving Awareness is here, and you feel that Loving Awareness,  you be that Loving Awareness, Only,  Formless,  Silent,   and that heals,   that feeds,   that pays,   that's love,   that's all. I love you I am you nik  ************************ To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show ************************ "To completely trust in God is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him." - Imam Ghazali "To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate." -Sufi Saying "When there were no strings to play you played to me When there was no ear to hear you sang to me " - The Grateful Dead "Quiet' doesn't mean that a person should sit like a statue. Peace means that there should be no concept or thought in mind. If thought arises in the mind, time will also arise. When the thought that produces time vanishes time also ceases to exist. Then there is true peace. Anyone can try this. Keep quiet for a single instant. Don't allow the mind to stir. For a single moment be without any thought of the past. In that moment you will see that there is no thought, no time, no world. This is what I mean by peace. In that instant everything will be peaceful. If you keep quiet you will see that the whole world is quiet. This world does not exist at all If you sit quietly for a single second you will bring peace to the world because in that moment there is no world. Then do it for the next second, and the next. This the way to bring about peace, but you have to do it yourself and see." - HWL Poonja  / Papaji "In the state of silence, a person does not shun out the ability to comprehend sound, instead he is trying to enhance his ability to hear the sounds, assimilate them discern them, analyze them and then synthesis them into a perfect whole of wisdom. Thus the observer of silence is trying to develop an ability whereby a specific sound can be heard. This is the vibrating sound of the Universe, which is called the sound of our inner soul. That sound of eternal vibration is 'OM' in our ancient scriptures." -Bhakti Ma
