Stand-Up to RacismIn 1972 Catholic families – who had endured three years of sustained sectarian attacks on their homes – fled Annalee St in North Belfast. Last month - fifty-three years later - Catholic homes in Annalee St. were again the target of sectarian attack and families were forced to flee. In the last fortnight we have also witnessed the firebombing of homes in Ballymena, the Larne Leisure Centre and racist attacks in other parts of the North.The images of homes in flames in Ballymena reminded me of similar scenes I first witnessed in Belfast in August 1969. The film footage of that period is of streets ablaze, frightened families hurriedly stacking furniture on lorries or carrying their most precious possessions on their backs. Then it was the racism and sectarianism of the apartheid unionist state attacking nationalist and republican families, killing residents, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing thousands to become refugees in our own city.Regrettably, the same sectarian and racist fundamentalism that motivated those attacks still exists today among some in our society who campaign against housing for Catholics, hang effigies of political leaders on bonfires and use violent rhetoric to promote hate crime against immigrants and those they define as ‘others'. That is those who are of a different religion or colour, or sexual orientation. Defending NeutralityThe Israeli rogue state has set the world on a dangerous course. Its deadly assault on Iran, allied to its violent actions in Lebanon and Syria and its genocidal war on the Palestinian people, has cast a huge shadow over the Middle East. As its military forces continue to kill scores of Palestinians daily in Gaza and its war planes attack Iran the Israeli military imposed a complete siege on the west Bank. Over a thousand military checkpoints which provide Israel with absolute control over the occupied west Bank, were completely closed imposing a siege on the Palestinian towns, villages and isolated farms of that region.As the world focusses on the exchanges between Israel and Iran the Zionists' genocidal and ethnic cleansing strategy against the Palestinian people is escalating. Those western states that have refused to challenge Israel's murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians or stand-by international law, are now defending Israel's attack on Iran using the same unacceptable excuse that Israel has the right to defend itself.Pat Finucane - End the DelayIt has been ten months since the British Secretary of State Hilary Benn first announced that he was setting up an independent inquiry into the killing of Pat Finucane under the 2005 Inquiries Act. Last week he appointed Sir Gary Hickinbottom as the Chair of the Inquiry. Hickinbottom has been given responsibility for investigating one of the most high profile examples of state collusion between loyalist death squads and British state agents and agencies during the decades of conflict.As well as Hickinbottom, former Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan and international human rights lawyer Francesca Del Mese have been appointed as assessors to the inquiry. Their role is to advise the Chair but they will not be involved in any final report.It has been a long difficult road for Geraldine Finucane and her family to secure this Inquiry. Twenty-four years ago the British and Irish governments agreed at Weston Park to establish public inquiries into a number of troubles-related cases. Canadian Judge Peter Cory recommended inquiries into the deaths of: Rosemary Nelson, Robert Hamill, Billy Wright, and Patrick Finucane and also into the deaths of RUC officers Bob Buchanan and Harry Breen.

As Labour skids into yet another U-turn, your co-pilots are here to clear the chaff from the wheat.Allison is hopeful the inquiry could finally shed light on the ‘worst scandal in British history' as it is led by Louise Casey, but is concerned the scope won't see enough towns included by Labour who want to avoid their own patches coming under scrutiny. Meanwhile Liam thinks accusations of racism aimed at Sajid Javid for insisting ethnicity be recorded on these crimes when he was Home Secretary, now seem ridiculous and he should be commended for trying to get a clear picture of the issue. Making a special trip in the rocket this week is campaigner, author and grooming gang survivor Sammy Woodhouse, who shares her thoughts on the national inquiry into grooming gangs and her experiences as an exploited child.Read Liam: ‘Labour's 1970s employment rights bill could send Britain over the edge' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/15/labour-1970s-employment-rights-bill-could-send-uk-over-edge/ |Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Read Allison: ‘No jail sentence is long enough for the cowards who covered up for the Pakistani rape gangs‘ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/17/grooming-gangs-truth-revealed/ |Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

What is it like walking around all day, wanting safety and security from the world? That is this week's exploration; looking into the true effect of living that way, as if the thought “I need safety in the world” is true. We notice not being able to relax (because that would be dumb and irresponsible), feeling irritable, and being hyper-vigilant all the time. On guard for any danger that might be around the corner. And one of the biggest effects we saw is how it becomes so important what other people think of us. We believe we need approval from other people so that we can have safety. But do we actually need either of those things from the world around us? Let's check it out.

Bayangkan sebuah pendekatan untuk perubahan yang tidak dimulai dengan pertanyaan "Apa masalahnya?", melainkan "Apa yang terbaik dari diri kita?". Inilah inti dari Inkuiri Apresiatif (AI), sebuah filosofi dan metodologi transformatif yang mengalihkan fokus dari memperbaiki kelemahan menjadi memperkuat apa yang sudah berhasil. Alih-alih memandang organisasi atau individu sebagai mesin yang rusak, AI melihatnya sebagai taman yang subur, penuh dengan potensi yang menunggu untuk ditemukan dan dipupuk. Dengan mencari dan mengapresiasi "inti positif"—kekuatan, nilai, dan keberhasilan masa lalu—AI membangun fondasi energi dan harapan yang kuat, menciptakan landasan yang subur untuk pertumbuhan yang otentik dan berkelanjutan, baik dalam skala organisasi, komunitas, maupun pengembangan diri pribadi. Inti dari praktik Inkuiri Apresiatif adalah Siklus 4-D yang dinamis: Discovery (Penemuan), Dream (Mimpi), Design(Rancangan), dan Destiny (Takdir). Perjalanan ini dimulai dengan Discovery, di mana kita secara kolektif menggali dan berbagi cerita tentang momen-momen puncak keberhasilan. Berbekal apresiasi ini, kita melangkah ke fase Dream untuk membayangkan masa depan yang paling ideal dan berani, tanpa terikat oleh batasan masa lalu. Dari visi yang menginspirasi ini, fase Design lahir, di mana kita secara kolaboratif merancang struktur dan proses konkret untuk mewujudkan impian tersebut. Akhirnya, fase Destiny adalah tentang implementasi, di mana setiap individu diberdayakan untuk mengambil tindakan dan menghidupkan visi bersama, memulai siklus perubahan positif yang berkelanjutan. Kekuatan transformatif dari Inkuiri Apresiatif tidak terletak pada pemikiran positif yang naif, melainkan pada kemampuannya untuk secara fundamental mengubah narasi. AI memahami bahwa pertanyaan yang kita ajukan membentuk realitas yang kita alami. Dengan secara sadar mengajukan pertanyaan positif dan berfokus pada kekuatan, kita mulai menulis ulang cerita kolektif kita—beralih dari kisah tentang kekurangan dan masalah menjadi narasi tentang potensi, kemungkinan, dan aspirasi. Narasi generatif inilah yang menjadi mesin perubahan, membangkitkan harapan, menginspirasi tindakan, dan pada akhirnya memberdayakan kita untuk secara sadar membangun masa depan yang kita inginkan, berdasarkan versi terbaik dari diri kita.

2025-06-10 I Inquiry I Suzuki Roshi's “Swinging Door” I Joel Barna by Appamada

According to Byron Katie, the order of creation is this: think, feel, act, have. And as Tom points out in this episode, we think according to whatever concept we're holding to be true. That thinking then becomes our feelings, and we act from the feelings, creating the life we're living. So it stands to reason that if we're not liking what we're living, we could go back to the stressful concepts that direct our thinking and question them. This week's stressful concept is a subtle conclusion that permeates most of our waking hours: So many things could go wrong. Join in and follow along in the inquiry to glimpse your own insights, or simply listen to the insights shared in this episode.

Stigma, suspicion and a lack of support. That's the view on why only 10% of sexual assaults are reported in Australia. As a result, sexual assault victims are grossly under-represented and do not receive the social or judicial validation that they deserve. While systemic reform is slow-moving, With You We Can is fighting for victims now, by empowering victims to fight for each other. If we create understanding around our criminal justice system, we change outcomes for victims everywhere. Sarah Rosenberg is the Executive Director of With You We Can, a national platform demystifying the police and legal processes for victims of sexual violence while working to improve them.

Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life.  She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.  Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.  In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.   In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work.  No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.   For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.

The economic fortunes of the Southern Africa country of Botswana were transformed back in the mid 1960's when shortly after gaining independence from Britain, its first diamond mine was discovered. A partnership with the world's biggest diamond firm DeBeers ensured Botswana's diamonds gained global attention and with some of the world's biggest diamonds been mined in the country, it now ranks just below Russia in terms of its importance in the industry. But post pandemic, the global market has seen a shift in demand for mined diamonds, with consumers in countries like China, who accounted for around thirty percent of global demand, falling away. Another reason for this shift is the emerging popularity of lab grown diamonds. Originally used in industrial machinery, lab diamonds are now been refined for the jewellery market at a fraction of the price of mined diamonds, with the majority of consumer interest coming from the United States. Botswana has been trying to ride this wave with a policy of diversification, to allow it to generate more export revenue. But its new Government, who have only been in power since October last year, are dealing with a large budget deficit not helped by the low level of diamond revenues. It faces a hard task in trying to revive demand for mined diamonds across the global market. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Are diamonds forever in Botswana?'

Do you ever notice living with the thought, “There's something better than this”? Something better than here, better than now, better than what I'm living… It can become like a white noise machine – on in the background until we forget what silence feels like or that it's even running at all. In this episode, we explore that silence in the form of being without this thought. And there are some pretty beautiful findings in the experience. One way we notice reacting when we believe there's something better than what we're living, is we see mistakes everywhere. We blame our past selves for actions that we believe resulted in us being in a place we don't want to be in now. But who would we be – even for a moment – without these concepts. How might we see our lives?

Looks like nothing's changed in camp Jacinda, has it? You will get no admission that she and her Government got anything wrong during Covid, from what I can gather. Now, this is my disclaimer - I haven't actually read the entire memoir just yet. But from what I've skim read and from what I've read and heard in the reviews, and what I've read and heard with her interviews promoting the book, if you are looking for her to admit that she got anything wrong at all during Covid, you're not going to find it. The closest thing I found is on page 309, where she admits that she made 'imperfect decisions', but that's really underselling the massive balls-up that was our Covid response, wasn't it? What you get instead is multiple excuses, heaps of verbal fluff to avoid answering hard questions and, regularly, the defence that we saved 20,000 lives. Here's an example - she gave an interview to RNZ's Jessie Mulligan where he asked her about vaccine mandates, which we now know, of course, was a huge mistake that cost people their jobs simply because they wouldn't get the jab in which the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid said damaged 'social cohesion'. Would she agree with that, he asked. She said she wouldn't argue with their findings. He then asked her, did vaccine mandates save any lives? She said - she's not the one that can answer that question for you, although apparently she can tell you that she did save 20,000 lives, she just can't talk about this particular instance. And then she goes on to say that the Commission did also say that vaccine mandates were important in areas like healthcare and so on, and we're relatively limited, but again, I won't argue with their findings. So, not a yes, not a no - and definitely not an apology. Now, I don't actually know why I was expecting anything else from her. I mean, this was a feature of Jacinda during Covid. She would never say she did anything wrong, which is why it got worse and worse as she barrelled full steam ahead in the wrong direction at times - because apparently going full steam ahead in the wrong direction was better than admitting she was headed in the wrong direction. And of course she got things wrong. I mean, anyone would have. She made thousands and thousands of decisions over multiple years. She would 100 percent have got at least one of those decisions wrong, do you not think? It would be nice just to hear her admit it, because I think it would help some of us - and I'm talking about me here - to forgive her.

This week's inquiry begins by noticing all the movements of life. Relationships, jobs, houses, cars, kids, wellbeing … everyday stuff. Do you experience any resistance just hearing that list? If you do, we invite you to follow along with an inquiry on the likely cause of that stress: believing the thought, “I have to keep it all going.” Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? Does this thought bring peace or stress into your life? If it's stressful, it might be worth a second look.
