In this episode of Deacons Pod, the Paulist Deacon Affiliates speak with Fr. Robin Ryan, CP, author of the new Paulist Press book "Life is Changed, Not Ended: An Introduction to Christian Eschatology." Christian eschatology is the study of the "last things" including death, immortality of the soul, resurrection, and the end of time. Fr. Ryan's book ends with a reflection on Julian of Norwich's teaching about hope grounded in the love of God as exemplified by the passion of Christ, and considering the mystery of suffering. A member of the Passionists, Fr. Ryan is professor of systematic theology and director of the Master of Arts in the theology program at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He also is author of the Paulist Press books "God and the Mystery of Human Suffering" and "Gazing on the Face of Christ: A Christ-Centered Spirituality." ABOUT THE SHOW: Deacons Pod is a podcast for everyone. But, it's especially created to inspire and give hope to people on the “threshold of faith”: Those who are thinking about going to Church and those who are thinking about leaving Church.

A Diary of a CEO Podcast Episode with Jordan Peterson https://youtu.be/Hik6OY-nk4c Check out our Pictogram Shirt Designs (FREE SHIPPING!) https://radiocoffeehouse.com/collections/merch In this episode of the Radio Coffee House, Clint Armitage dives deep into the thought-provoking insights of Jordan Peterson, exploring the profound questions surrounding belief and the nature of God. Broadcasting from Dallas, Texas, Clint highlights several impactful moments from Peterson's recent appearance on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, where he candidly shares his beliefs about Jesus Christ and the essence of voluntary self-sacrifice. Clint begins by discussing Peterson's unique approach to the question of faith, noting how he often refrains from providing direct answers. However, in this episode, Peterson clearly articulates his belief that Jesus is the embodiment of the law and the prophets, affirming that "Jesus is God." This revelation is a pivotal moment, showcasing Peterson's thoughtful consideration and the weight of his convictions. As the conversation unfolds, Clint emphasizes Peterson's powerful assertion that Christ took on the sins and problems of the world, allowing us to live from a place of victory rather than striving for it. This perspective encourages listeners to recognize that no matter the size of their struggles, Christ has already borne those burdens on the cross. Clint also delves into the significance of voluntary sacrifice, drawing parallels between Christ's ultimate sacrifice and our call to live selflessly for others. He encourages listeners to embrace challenges as a part of truly living, reminding us that it's our response to adversity that shapes our character and faith. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode of the Radio Coffee House to explore how embracing challenges and understanding the essence of faith can lead to a deeper, more fulfilling life. Discover the truth bombs dropped by Jordan Peterson and how they resonate with our own journeys of faith and resilience. -----

Walking through the grandeur of Amber Fort or witnessing the heart-wrenching reality of children begging in the streets, one is constantly reminded of life's radical duality. This coexistence of opposites is a powerful teacher in the yogic tradition, where we are called to witness without attachment. The practice of holding both beauty and pain with equanimity lies at the heart of our spiritual evolution. Embracing the Extremes: Beauty and Suffering Intertwined India amplifies the senses. The vibrant markets, ornate temples, and intricate craftsmanship offer a feast for the eyes, while the rawness of human suffering confronts us at every corner. It is tempting to be swept away by either extreme—to revel in the beauty or to grieve the suffering—but true wisdom lies in the ability to hold both without preference. Life's richness comes not from avoiding discomfort or chasing pleasure, but from embracing the tension between the two. The Spiritual Path: Detachment in the Face of Duality The mind seeks to categorize experiences as ‘good' or ‘bad,' yet the teachings remind us that duality is an illusion. We are called to bear witness to both extremes, knowing that they are transient and that neither defines the deeper reality. The practice of detachment, of seeing without being swayed by the highs or the lows, is essential on the spiritual path. In navigating life's contrasts, we cultivate a stillness within—one that remains unshaken by the duality of external circumstances. This is the essence of our practice, and it is here that we find our deepest strength and wisdom.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes back Erik Newton for a profound conversation on consciousness, personal growth, and the nature of reality. Together, they explore the challenges of expanding awareness, balancing intention with surrender, and the philosophical implications of emerging technologies like Neuralink. Erik shares his deep reflections on fatherhood, the complexities of human suffering, and the pursuit of peace in a chaotic world. For more insights from Erik, you can connect with him on Twitter at @NewtonLaw.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:57 Diving into Consciousness03:38 Exploring Human and Animal Consciousness05:59 The Complexity of Suffering09:20 Neuralink and the Future of Consciousness14:55 The Nature of Reality and Simulations26:45 The 1960s Consciousness Revolution28:10 Exploring Consciousness and AI29:13 The Golden Era of Innovation30:30 The Inevitable Advancement of AI31:06 Balancing Responsibility and Progress32:47 Reflections on the 1960s33:43 The Complexity of History and Innovation36:59 The Concept of Solar Punk44:55 The Philosophy of Surfing47:38 The Struggle and Joy of Surfing52:13 Concluding Thoughts and Future PlansKey Insights1-Consciousness as the Ultimate Focus: Erik Newton emphasizes that expanding consciousness is the most meaningful pursuit in life. He believes that whether it's our own consciousness, others', or even non-human consciousness, the act of expanding awareness is central to our experience and growth.2-Balancing Intention with Surrender: A recurring theme in the conversation is the delicate balance between intention and surrender. Erik discusses how in activities like surfing, and in life more broadly, it's essential to have enough intention to take action but also enough surrender to accept reality as it is. This balance is key to navigating challenges without falling into the trap of frustration or suffering.3-The Illusion of Control and Fear: Both Erik and Stewart explore the idea that much of human suffering stems from the illusion of control and the fear that arises when we attempt to predict and control the future. Recognizing this illusion can help reduce suffering and cultivate a more present and peaceful state of being.4-The Role of Pain in Awareness: Erik highlights the distinction between pain and suffering, suggesting that while pain is an inevitable part of life and a necessary signal for awareness, suffering is often a result of our mental constructs and attachment to outcomes. Learning to transcend suffering while acknowledging pain is a significant step in personal growth.5-Human Identity and Ego: The discussion touches on the role of ego in shaping our identities and how much of our suffering is tied to the ego's attempts to avoid fear. Erik suggests that while it's impossible to completely shed the ego, we can learn not to be overly attached to it, thereby reducing its control over our lives.6-The Complexity of Reality and Simulation: The conversation delves into the nature of reality, with Erik expressing that our perception of reality is a simulation created by our consciousness. He argues that this reality is "differently real" rather than more or less real compared to artificial simulations, highlighting the complex nature of our subjective experiences.7-Optimism and Caution in Technological Advancement: Erik and Stewart discuss the importance of approaching technological developments like Neuralink with both optimism and caution. While they recognize the potential for profound advancements in consciousness and human experience, they also emphasize the need for a balanced, intentional, and thoughtful approach to avoid the pitfalls of naivety and unintended consequences.

Rita Bozi is a highly experienced trauma-informed facilitator, psychedelic therapist, author, and director of Brilliant Healing, In. Matt Russell is a private practice psychotherapist and scholar with a background in Spanish Literature and intergenerational trauma studies. Matt interviews Rita about her novel “When I Was Better” which is based on her parents' experiences during and after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, blending personal and historical narratives to explore themes of trauma, survival, and healing.Rita shares her journey in writing the novel, describing it as a complex and healing process that took nine years and ten drafts to complete. Initially, she was loyal to the real-life events of her family's history, struggling to fictionalize the story, but eventually embraced creative freedom which allowed her to deepen her characters and more fully explore their experiences. The process also involved confronting and processing her own anger and trauma, facilitated by psychedelic therapies with ayahuasca and ketamine. Through these experiences, Rita was able to soften her portrayal of her parents, bringing a more nuanced and empathetic view to their characters in her novel.Matt, Rita, and Dr. T delve into the significance of the Hungarian Revolution and Rita explains the profound impact of these events on her family and her need to understand and portray this historical and emotional landscape accurately. The interview touches on broader themes of intergenerational trauma and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression, highlighting the importance of kindness and empathy in healing. Through the novel, Rita aims to honor her parents' struggles while exploring the broader human capacity for both cruelty and compassion.“But it wasn't until I sat with ketamine that I felt into my essential nature and that my essential nature was kindness. And from there I started to build a practice around kindness and I started to decolonize. I started to understand what does it mean to decolonize this brutality, so that then I could, instead of commanding people or … demanding change and demanding that people heal or demand that people behave a certain way, I started to understand more deeply that we behave the way we do because of what's happened to us. In understanding that and understanding, you know, what really happened to my parents, what really happened to my brother, what really happened to my ancestors, and embodying that… then I could start developing a sense of kindness, you know?” - Rita Bozi__About Rita Bozi:Raised by Hungarian refugees, Rita is a Somatic Relational trauma and psychedelic-informed Facilitator, a multidisciplinary creator, playwright, and retired professional actor and dancer.

If God exists and is a God of love, why is there so much suffering in our world? Is He powerless to stop it? This challenge is often thrown up by atheists, agnostics, and also sincere individuals who simply struggle to understand. How can a loving God permit wars that kill, maim, and destroy property? Why diseases, famines, and other so-called natural disasters? Some smugly ask these questions in an attempt to dismiss God. Others sincerely look at the cruelty in the world and wonder, why? Why doesn't a loving God stop war, disease, natural disasters, and cruelty toward women and children? On this Tomorrow's World program, I'll give you three reasons why a loving God allows pain and suffering. Yes, there is great suffering found everywhere and you may personally be going through a painful trial, but our Creator IS a God of love, and that's why I'm offering a FREE resource that explains His great love for you and me. John 3:16 – Hidden Truths of the Golden Verse explains far more than most realize. Yes, John 3:16 explains God's love for mankind, despite the hardships we currently see, but within it are truths not generally understood, so be sure to have writing material available to take down our contact information so you can receive your free copy of John 3:16 – Hidden Truths of the Golden Verse. Now stay tuned as I will be back in 5 seconds and give you three reasons WHY a loving God allows such great suffering on this troubled planet.

In this episode of ”Voices with Vervaeke,” John Vervaeke continues his ongoing exploration of Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory with psychotherapist, clinician, and researcher Kasra Mirzaie. Kasra shares his insights into the cognitive, existential, and spiritual aspects of IFS, highlighting its potential to help individuals make sense of their inner conflicts, regulate emotions, and resolve developmental psychopathology. With a focus on dialectic, mythos, and serious play, Kasra explains how IFS can help individuals forge and come into contact with different aspects of their being and identity, promoting healing and transformation. Throughout the conversation, John and Kasra explore the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of IFS and how it can be integrated with other therapeutic approaches to promote participatory knowing, self-transcendence, and a deeper understanding of the self. Delving into poignant examples and transformative insights, the conversation illuminates the profound impact of embracing our multiplicity through IFS, offering listeners a pathway to understanding and healing that transcends traditional therapeutic boundaries. Guest Bio and Links: Kasra Mirzaie is a psychotherapist, researcher, and educator with a focus on emotion regulation and developmental psychopathology.

There's this theme within various films like Divergent, I Think We're Alone Now, Equals and Equilibrium, to name a few, that are fascinated with the connection of human suffering and the need for a utopian society. To eradicate human emotion, to take it away and to present oneself as a blank slate, does that present a peace of mind, or lack of true freedom? Copyright to Two Takes
