The rover's findings include unique boxwork patterns formed by groundwater, suggesting that even as Mars dried up, water was still present below the surface. As Curiosity ascends Mount Sharp, scientists are eager to understand the implications of these patterns and the mineral cements involved, which may hold clues to Mars' climatic history and the potential for ancient microbial life.Solar Flares and Weather PatternsA groundbreaking study published in the Astronomical Journal has uncovered a connection between solar flares and short-term changes in weather patterns on exoplanets. Researchers found that flares from a planet's host star can cause measurable climate shifts within days, highlighting the importance of solar activity in modulating atmospheric behavior. This research not only enhances our understanding of exoplanet habitability but also suggests that solar variability may influence weather systems on Earth, particularly in volatile regions.Nasa's In-Flight Imagery ProjectNASA's Scientifically Calibrated in Flight Imagery (SCIFLI) team is set to gather vital data during the reentry of a European aerospace company's demonstration capsule. Utilizing advanced instruments, including a spectrometer and high-definition telescope, SCIFLI aims to capture real-time performance data that will refine computational models for future space missions. This mission highlights the importance of empirical data in enhancing safety and performance for crewed and robotic space exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-3881NASA Curiosity Roverhttps://mars.nasa.gov/msl/NASA SCIFLI Teamhttps://www.nasa.gov/langley/scifliBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

The IPS Evening Deprogram for June 8th, 2025 explores the intersection of psychological warfare, predictive programming, and reality construction. The host emphasizes that many events are not organic or random but are crafted as part of a long-term “meta script” designed to influence mass perception and behavior.The Pentagon fabricated the UFO myth and the Area 51 narrative to distract from experimental aircraft, seeding a belief system that replaces angels with aliens.This deception, the speaker argues, is part of a broader attempt to introduce a “new scientific paradigm” rooted in superstition.Quotes:“The Pentagon made it all up.”“They've replaced angels with aliens.”“They lied… to influence public opinion and culture.”Entertainment is framed as a weaponized medium used in psychological operations.UFO mythology, alien invasions, and disaster movies are cited as tools of propaganda.Quotes:“Entertainment is more or less a military operation.”“UFO-ology is government propaganda.”Media such as Final Destination, Leave the World Behind, and Fight Club are seen as predictive programming vehicles.Imagery like collapsing towers and doomed flights are interpreted as precursors to 9/11.Quotes:“You're experiencing 9-11 from the perspective of one of the passengers.”“9-11 was being destroyed in front of our eyes in many forms for decades.”Recurring dates like 6/11, 7/13, and the number 33 are highlighted as embedded signals in media and events.These dates connect to themes like blackouts, political assassinations, and media spectacles.Quotes:“Trump was shot at 6:11 — same date, same number.”“Rodney King was hit 33 times in 1 minute 19 seconds.”A growing narrative portrays Trump as an authoritarian tyrant ahead of a potential June 11th crisis.The media script seems to be setting up a symbolic or literal cataclysm around Trump, riots, and Los Angeles.Quotes:“Liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion.”“Trump is portrayed as a tyrant — sending in troops unnecessarily.”Generative AI like Sora and Grok expose how easily fake but convincing realities can be created.The speaker argues that AI panic is a staged crisis to justify censorship and protect the “worldview monopoly”.Quotes:“If you can conceptualize it, you can manifest it.”“This is a made-up crisis — the public cannot tell real from fake.”Both red-pill (conspiracy awareness) and woke (social justice awareness) are labeled false awakenings designed to trap and demoralize.True awakening is defined as escaping the media-scripted narrative entirely by adopting an “off-world stage” perspective.Quotes:“The red pill is a false awakening. The woke ideology is a false awakening.”“If you're not deprogrammed, you are programmed by default.”2025 is described as a pivotal year in theosophical circles — a predicted date for the externalization of the hierarchy (manifestation of spiritual guides).The speaker hints this could tie into how elites introduce new “teachers” to lead humanity in a post-truth world.Quotes:“2025 is the next step in spiritual evolution.”Scientists have developed a biological computer made from human brain cells derived from blood.This tech, capable of learning faster and using less energy than silicon chips, is likened to the concept of Astrocrete — human blood used in extraterrestrial construction.Quotes:“Biological fusion… a disturbing development.”“A computer made of human brain cells.”The speaker closes by encouraging listeners to subscribe to the newsletter and Discord, and to watch unfolding events with discernment, not dread — urging a “grab your popcorn” approach to the world stage's manufactured drama.

That simple truth drives Steve Jones, Founder and CEO of pocstock, to challenge the way people of color and other underrepresented groups are portrayed in stock photography and now artificial intelligence.Steve launched pocstock after discovering, while running a digital marketing agency, that major stock photo libraries lacked images reflecting diverse identities. "People of Black, Asian, Hispanic and other backgrounds, people who were older than 50, or living with a disability" were all underrepresented, Steve said. This gap was not unique to the U.S. — it was global.Today, pocstock is meeting a bigger challenge: the biases baked into AI image generation. Because AI was trained on biased media libraries, "the data is literally what the AI industry needs in order to become what it's going to be," Steve explained. With AI expected to generate 80% of online imagery soon, pocstock's culturally accurate, bias-free library positions the company as a vital resource for the future of ethical AI.But Steve isn't stopping with just providing imagery. He's ensuring that the creators of these visuals—photographers and artists—can share in the value AI creates. "We created a model where our creators can be included in the AI boom," he said, highlighting pocstock's mission to avoid leaving behind the very people it seeks to represent.As part of that effort, pocstock is raising capital again, this time through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. By setting a minimum investment of just $250, Steve and his team are inviting everyone—not just venture capitalists or accredited investors—to participate. "This gives people an opportunity to access AI through pocstock," he said.The implications are profound. "Imagery is how you change people's perceptions of people they haven't met," Steve noted. The consistent underrepresentation or stereotyping of certain groups impacts real-world outcomes, from law enforcement to healthcare. "If you let the media tell it, everybody's racist... and this couldn't be further from the truth."Supporting pocstock, whether by investing or using its imagery, helps rewrite those narratives. Steve's work stands as a reminder that inclusion isn't just a value—it's a strategy for both equity and innovation.To invest, visit wefunder.com/pocstock or s4g.biz/poc.tl;dr:Steve Jones founded pocstock to address the lack of diverse, accurate imagery in media and technology.pocstock's inclusive content is now powering major AI projects and helping to reduce bias in technology.The company is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding, inviting everyone to invest for impact.Steve's superpower is intellectual curiosity, which drives him to solve problems and connect across differences.Listeners are encouraged to embrace curiosity, meet new people and invest in more inclusive representation.How to Develop Intellectual Curiosity As a SuperpowerSteve Jones's superpower is intellectual curiosity, paired with a problem-solving mindset. He explained, “I've always looked to see how I can make the world the way I think it should be.” This constant questioning of the status quo fuels his drive to address social injustices, foster inclusion, and solve challenges in innovative ways. From tinkering with objects as a child to reshaping the media landscape with pocstock, Steve's curiosity and creative thinking guide his efforts to make a positive impact.Steve shared a story about a chance encounter that changed his career trajectory. While working in IT, he bonded with a coworker over a shared love of Batman and Dr. Dre. Despite their differences—Steve, a 6'5” Black man, and his coworker, a middle-aged Irish man—they became close friends. Years later, that friendship resulted in Steve receiving his biggest contract for his marketing agency. This anecdote highlights how Steve's openness and curiosity about others help him build meaningful connections and seize new opportunities.Tips for Developing Intellectual Curiosity:Seek to understand problems deeply and envision how they could be solved.Challenge preconceptions by engaging with people from different backgrounds and perspectives.Be open to learning from everyone you meet, both professionally and personally.Approach each day with a fresh mindset, ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities.Stay informed about trends and developments in your field to spark new ideas.By following Steve's example and advice, you can make intellectual curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Sermons from Old South Church in Boston

April 26, 2025 - Equipped 2025 - Day 3 - 11:00AM Session   Lacy leads a wonderful discussion on the marriage imagery described in Isaiah when explaining the relationship between God and Israel.    Isaiah 54 - A Perpetual Covenant of Peace 54 “Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. 3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited. 4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. 5 For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. 6 For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God. 7 “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. 8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer. 9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you. 11 “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. 12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. 13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. 14 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. 16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an [a]instrument for his work; And I have created the [b]spoiler to destroy. 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.   Video: 2025 Equipped Workshop 4-26-25 - "WIFE AND MOTHER IMAGERY IN ISAIAH"- Lacy Crowell Duration 39:26

Performace Enhancement Imagery - PART TWO Saving Lifes and Much More Subject: Review of discussion between Mo and Chris regarding Chris's experience with a life-threatening surgery and the role of performance enhancement imagery. Key Themes: ·       Mind-Body Connection: The intricate and powerful link between mental state and physical outcomes, particularly in the context of health, healing, and performance. ·       Controlling the Controllable: Focusing mental energy on aspects within one's influence, primarily attitude and mindset, especially during challenging or uncontrollable situations. ·       Performance Enhancement Imagery: The intentional and structured use of mental visualization to prepare for, navigate, and optimize physical and psychological experiences, including medical procedures. ·       Importance of Preparation (Physical and Mental): The value of comprehensive preparation, encompassing not only physical health (sleep, strength, immune system) but also mental readiness (reducing anxiety, building confidence, calming the nervous system). ·       Anecdotal Evidence and Lived Experience: The power of personal testimony and observed outcomes as indicators of the efficacy of unconventional or less widespread approaches. ·       Manifesting Reality and Gratitude: The belief that positive focus and gratitude can influence personal experience and well-being. ·       Open Mind and Willingness to Learn: The necessity of being open to new ideas and stepping outside comfort zones to achieve personal growth and excellence. Most Important Ideas/Facts: ·       The surgery experience: Chris underwent a Whipple procedure, a complex and life-threatening surgery for cancer. ·       Imagery for Surgical Preparation: Mo developed an imagery script for Chris with specific goals related to the hospital experience and surgery. This included: ·       Setting expectations of a successful outcome. ·       Visualizing the process of navigating the surgery. ·       Identifying controllable factors, such as communicating with the surgical team and requesting positive language. ·       "Another component that we uh dove into was the hospital experience and retrading and creating the experience of actually going in for the surgery and setting an expectation of a success of what that surgery was going to look like for Chris, how he was going to navigate the process..." ·       Leveraging the Power of Suggestion and Blood Flow Control: A key, unorthodox element of the imagery was the concept of using the mind to consciously redirect blood flow away from the surgical site. This was based on the understanding of the mind-body connection and documented cases in medical literature. ·       "...we leveraged wanted to leverage the power of suggestion to the mind that the mind and the body are very intricately uh connected like they are intertwined and that mind body connection I don't think we I think we have only scratched the surface on the mind body connection and our understanding of it." ·       "...we devised a plan for Chris in his imagery script to allow his mind to work with his body to redirect blood flow away from the surgical site allowing the surgeon to be able to clearly see the tissue that needed to be removed." ·       Imagery for Healing: The script also focused on the body's natural ability to heal, starting immediately after the surgery. ·       "Then we tapped into healing both immediately after the surgery and then follow up and those and uh making sure that we we understood that your body has the incredible ability to heal itself." ·       Preparation for Surgery: The imagery reinforced the importance of being mentally prepared, confident, and calm to allow the body to focus on the surgery and healing process, rather than being in a high state of arousal. ·       "And then we wanted to make sure that we went into the surgery that we were as mentally prepared and confident. We were as calm as we could be so that the body could focus on getting through the surgery and starting the healing process and not coming down from a high state of fight or flight or high state of sympathetic arousal." ·       Chris's Personal Experience with the Imagery: Chris found the script to be powerful and effective, becoming an "in Airwig," constantly running in his mind. ·       "...that script became kind of a uh, you know, in Airwig. It It was constantly going in my mind and and I used it a lot." ·       Confirmation of Reduced Bleeding (Anecdotal but Significant): Chris specifically asked his surgeon about the bleeding during the surgery and was told that there wasn't a lot of bleeding, which made the procedure easier. This aligns with the imagery's intended effect. ·       "...when I asked him too, I says, okay, so how about, you know, just a quick question about the surgery site and the bleeding. He says, you know, again, this is unscripted and he didn't know what had gone on. He says, you know what, thinking about, he said, there really wasn't a lot of bleeding like that. See, then that's kind of what made the surgery so easy." ·       Second Case of Reduced Bleeding: Chris shared the imagery script with another woman, Bridget, undergoing a similar surgery. Her surgeon also reported unusually low bleeding at the surgical site. This adds further anecdotal support to the potential impact of the imagery. ·       "And the surgeon told her the same thing. He says, 'Yeah, it was weird that we just there was not a lot of bleeding.' So, again, anecdotal, but on the other hand, I think it does offer powerful uh evidence that, you know, it can hurt." ·       Chris's Recovery and Current State: Chris has made an "amazing recovery" and is doing well two years post-surgery. He attributes his success, in part, to being physically and mentally strong going into the surgery and using the imagery. He is currently ranked among the top men's ultimate health guys in his age group. ·       "Chris goes from a life-threatening, you know, situation to uh an short of an amazing recovery. And he makes, I think, number six out of the top 10 of men's ultimate health guys uh at his age..." ·       The Future of Performance Enhancement Imagery: Mo and Chris believe that performance imagery is underutilized but highly effective and can be applied to various aspects of life to achieve excellence. ·       "I think with performance imagery there's so many areas that we could apply it apply it to in all aspects of our our lives..." ·       "Every single one of us wants to be excellent at what we do and you can give yourself the advantage through the use of performance enhancement imagery." ·       Requires Effort: While powerful, imagery is not a "magic panacea" and requires willingness to do "hard work" and go through "struggle" for real learning and effectiveness. ·       "You have to be willing to do the hard work. This is not a magic panacea where you just listen to a script or you just um wish it upon yourself." ·       Contact Information: Mo and Chris provide contact information for those interested in learning more or seeking support. Conclusion: The discussion between Mo and Chris provides a compelling, albeit anecdotal, account of the potential impact of intentional mental preparation and performance enhancement imagery, particularly in the context of a life-threatening medical procedure. The emphasis on controlling one's mindset, leveraging the mind-body connection (specifically for blood flow control), and preparing both physically and mentally appears to have played a significant role in Chris's successful surgery and remarkable recovery. Both individuals advocate for the broader application and structured use of imagery to enhance performance and navigate challenges in various domains of life, stressing the need for an open mind and willingness to invest effort.   

Inspiring Collective Community: Christine Gilchrist PhD, MPH, RN, NC-BC, CH Highlights"To each of you— to ask, at this point, 'what is it you're hoping for'?  And then when you have that, when you've reflected on that, to go back inside and ask, 'what is your deeper hope'? I think, to be able to connect with feelings of hope through difficult times that certainly we experience in our lives and as a society, it's important to connect with hope, the feelings of hope, and what ultimately we're hoping for, because there's always, there's always hope in each moment." ~Christine Gilchrist PhD, MPH, RN, NC-BC, CHAh-Ha MomentsYou can do anything you set your mind to!Connect with your Community- they will hold up a mirror for you, to see how powerful you areWords and how we can connect them for our clients, patients and communities are important in the sense of change and evolutionImagine your future as you want it... and so it isYou'll find healing in communityLinks and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastClinical Meditation and Imagery with Bonney and Richard SchaubHarnessing the Power of Hypnosis Intro CourseHypnosis for Nurses: Certification CourseCalm Collective CareDean Ornish programChristine's LinkedInChristine's YouTubeEp34: Powerfully Linking Curanderismo and Nurse Coaching-Caroline Ortiz, MS, MPH, RN, NV-BCArticles:Trauma-Disclosure, Meaning-Making, and Help-Seeking in Mothers Experiencing Homelessness: Results From a Trauma-Focused, Clinical Ethnographic Narrative InterventionPilot clinical trial of a clinical meditation and imagery intervention for chronic pain after spinal cord injuryA Randomized Trial of a Group-Based Integrative Medicine Approach Compared to Waitlist Control on Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms in AdultsThe Nurse Coach Community – 700+ Amazing ConnectionsIntegrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 23 - Symbolism of Teachings: Reminders Through ImageryOur knowledge and ability to understand these Teachings has evolved over time. During Gotama Buddha's lifetime, all his Teachings were oral. Later human development evolved to include technology and the ability to capture these Teachings in written format.Today, we have the ability to read, write, and understand The Teachings in written format, through oral instruction, and a full range of other options.Prior to organized educational systems, the oral Teachings were captured into symbolism and imagery that could remind Practitioners of these important Teachings that guided their lives.In this Podcast, David will teach you the symbolism used to represent The Teachings in artwork, temple architecture, and other locations where Gotama Buddha's Teachings are represented through symbols.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://bit.ly/GroupLearningProgram|The Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://bit.ly/PaliCanonStudyGroupFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-FacebookYouTube: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-YoutubePodcast: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-PodcastSupport our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #buddhismclass #buddhismcourse #enlightenment #awakening #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse #meditationclass

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9Each year, Christians pause to remember Good Friday—the day Jesus Christ was crucified. At first glance, calling this day “good” may seem strange. After all, it marks one of the darkest, most sorrowful moments in human history. But for those who trust in Christ, Good Friday isn't the end of the story—it's the turning point. It's the day God's grace was poured out most fully and most freely.Good Friday invites us into a sacred tension—one of deep sorrow and overwhelming gratitude. It reminds us that Jesus didn't just die for us—He died instead of us. The pain He endured was not only physical but also spiritual. The weight He carried to the cross wasn't just a wooden beam but the full weight of our guilt and rebellion.And yet, it was love—not nails—that held Him there.The Financial Language of RedemptionHere on Faith & Finance, we often discuss budgeting, investing, and managing money well. But Scripture frequently uses financial imagery to communicate spiritual realities. This isn't a coincidence. Terms like debt, ransom, redemption, and inheritance appear throughout the Bible to help us understand the gravity of sin and the beauty of salvation.“The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 6:23“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45“You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” - 1 Corinthians 6:20These verses paint a clear picture: our sin incurred a debt that only Jesus could pay.Tetelestai: It Is FinishedIn John 19:30, as Jesus gave up His spirit, He cried out, “It is finished.” The Greek word He used—tetelestai—was more than a declaration of His suffering ending. It was a victory cry.In the ancient world, tetelestai was written across receipts to show that a debt had been paid in full. It was the word a priest would use after examining a spotless lamb and declaring it worthy for sacrifice. It was a servant's report that a task had been completed.So when Jesus spoke it from the cross, He was announcing the completion of His mission: the debt of sin had been fully, finally paid. Jesus didn't come to make a down payment on our salvation. He didn't cover part of the cost and leave the rest up to us. He paid it all.That means you and I no longer live in spiritual deficit. We live in the overflow of God's grace. There's no more striving to earn God's favor, no more guilt weighing us down. Instead, we live in joyful obedience—not to gain life, but because in Christ, we've already found it.Why Good Friday Is Truly GoodGood Friday is good not because it was easy but because it was enough.At the cross, God demonstrated the greatest act of generosity the world has ever seen. Jesus gave everything so that we could receive everything. His riches were traded for our poverty. His life was given to cover our debt. And now, because of Him, we are invited into the riches of His grace.So, as we reflect today, may we hear His final words echo in our hearts—It is finished. The debt has been paid. The way to the Father is open. The shame is gone. And the invitation to live fully, freely, and faithfully has been extended to each of us.From Financial Fear to Freedom in ChristIf this message resonates with you, we invite you to explore Look at the Sparrows, our 21-day devotional designed to address financial fear and anxiety through the lens of the gospel. In it, you'll discover how the riches of God's grace free us from worry and invite us to trust fully in His provision.On this Good Friday, rest in this truth: Jesus has already paid the price. Now we get to live generously, not from fear but from freedom.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to send money to my three cousins in Europe who are in a difficult economic situation.

I mentioned the book in a newsletter a couple of weeks back, but I wanted to focus on the ways in which the political world has borrowed showbiz's penchant for image calibration, from the ways in which issues are decided upon to the means by which politicians decide which voters to target. Didion, of course, was a natural observer of these shifts, having spent years in Hollywood before becoming one of the nation's most interesting political observers. If you enjoyed this episode, I hope you both pick up a copy of Alissa's book and share this with friends!

In this sermon, Alex delves into the notion of empires and their perennial rise and fall through history, centering on the symbolism of Babylon as described in the Book of Revelation. He reflects on how these empires often elevate material abundance, military prowess, and technological sophistication over spiritual integrity. By examining the fall of Babylon and drawing connections to modern forms of idolatry and empire, Alex challenges listeners to resist the allure of earthly power and to faithfully follow the teachings of Jesus. The sermon culminates in a call to communion, emphasizing the importance of remembering and reaffirming our commitment to Christ's kingdom.
