Podcasts about Intellect

In the fourth mishna of Pirkei Avos, our sages offer three steps to accessing Torah. In our deconstruction of this teaching we learn about the nature of Torah and the unusual ways that we access it. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – […]

In this episode of Midnight Carmelite, we explore the deep connection between prayer, the intellect, and will. Drawing on the wisdom of St. John of the Cross and a famous illustration by Bishop Fulton Sheen, we uncover how intellectual knowledge naturally leads to love and how love, in turn, begets a profound "love knowledge" that surpasses all concepts. We discuss why God sometimes withdraws spiritual consolations and how true prayer is found not in feelings or inspirations but in the silent, refocusing act of the will choosing to love God for who He is.The Midnight Compass: Stop treating the Dark Night like a mood disorder.

Link to book – https://www.whitethreadpress.com/products/the-art-of-cultivating-noble-character-pre-order This groundbreaking translation revives Imam Raghib al-Isfahani's seminal ethical treatise, integrating Qur'anic principles with philosophical depth. Isfahani's timeless exploration of moral virtue, the soul and spiritual refinement is characterized by his unique weaving of Qur'anic verses and prophetic traditions into ethical discourse. “You hold in your hands one of the most important books of the Islamic tradition. The proof of Islam, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, memorised by heart Kitab al-Dhari'a. Anyone familiar with Imam Ghazali's works will recognise the immense influence this book had on him… We owe a great debt to Dr Yasien Mohamed for bringing this exceptional work into English… With excellent knowledge of Arabic and English, coupled with a serious background in ethics, he provides us with a translation that works well and conveys the contents of the Imam's works.” Hamza Yusuf Zaytuna College, USA

Welcome back to Not Fintech Investment Advice, where Simon Taylor and I do what we do best: talk about companies we're absolutely not giving investment advice on. First up is Primitive, an agent control plane for large financial institutions trying to figure out what to do with AI agents. We get into why regulated institutions need infrastructure that sits above any one model provider, token budgets, and why AI labs deploying engineers into financial institutions should be treated less like a gift and more like a Trojan horse. Next is Exponent, a finance platform for franchisees. Franchises are one of the most reliable (and overlooked) paths to wealth building. We talk about why franchisees are hard to underwrite, how SBA lending fits in, and why a platform that helps both the borrower and lender could become the financial operating system for multi-location franchise entrepreneurs. Then there's Prime Intellect, which helps companies train, deploy, evaluate, and improve their own models. This leads us into one of our favorite nerd corridors: what happens when you train transformer models on financial events instead of language? Financial data may have its own syntax, and the models that understand it may be far more useful than the ones that chat well. We close with Covered, a gamified credit card that uses variable rewards and sweepstakes to make cash back feel like a chance to win big. Customer acquisition is brutal, top-of-wallet even harder, and in a casino economy, nudging people toward something marginally better is at least honest about the stakes. Plus, the most important question in the episode: is Anna or Elsa the real protagonist of Frozen? --- This episode is brought to you by Ocrolus.  Every small business is different — but most lenders only see a snapshot.

Humility is required for faith. Faith is a miracle that God works in us. Faith is a way of knowing that is beyond, but does not contradict, the intellect. Intellect alone cannot grasp it, religious submission of will and intellect is required. But the real gift of faith is not only the knowledge that God reveals, it is also the presence of God in which we participate that lifts up our fallen humanity and joins us to the very life of God.

We're still chipping away at the remodel and since Amos was already at my house we talked Simon, who was in town, into coming back where it all began, then convinced the Mayor to drop by so one of us could complain about traffic lights. We had a good time with this one cracking jokes on the Mayor, discussing the Miss Virginia Teen Crown now residing in Franklin County with previous guest of the show Caedyn Riddle, getting updates on the town, and a just a good conversation between real, struggling, Appalachian Americans!

Does AI only work for people who can already afford it?In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Bruce Yang, founder and CEO of AgnesAI, to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in tech right now: that winning the AI race requires near-unlimited resources. Bruce argues that the real opportunity isn't in the markets everyone is fighting over, but in the billions of people being priced out of AI entirely. AgnesAI has earned a spot among the world's top 10 AI labs by delivering top-tier performance at a fraction of the cost of today's leading models.The conversation explores whether the industry's obsession with scale is creating real value or simply winning benchmark battles, what unchecked AI adoption could mean for the workforce, and whether some of the most important breakthroughs in AI are happening far from Silicon Valley.Learn more about Bruce Yang here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tongbruceyang/ and AgnesAI here: https://agnes-ai.com/Check out some of our related content here: 1.

Human nature is a mess: e.g., tragic UK case. The religious intellect is not of God. You are not your brother's keeper.

When we try to fix what's happening around us, we forget to look at what's happening within us.What if the root of stress, burnout, anxiety, and even conflict isn't external at all?WHAT IF IT'S THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN YOUR MIND, YOUR HEART, AND YOUR BODY?Inside every one of us lives three powerful forces:

What makes a story feel truly mythic? Many writers assume mythic fiction comes from borrowing archetypes, retelling old myths, or layering symbolic imagery into a story. While there is immense value in studying mythology, fairy tales, folklore, and archetypal storytelling traditions, something important has been lost in many modern conversations about mythic fiction. The old myths aren't powerful merely because of their plot structure or symbolism. They are powerful because they emerged from their creator's living relationship with symbol, transformation, mystery, dream, and the deeper psyche. In this episode, I explore: •    Why so much modern "mythic storytelling" can feel strangely hollow  •    The difference between inherited myth and living myth  •    Why writers often approach archetypes from the outside in  •    How mythic resonance actually emerges in story  •    Why mythic storytelling matters during times of cultural transformation  •    How writers can reconnect to the symbolic imagination itself  What if the role of the writer is not simply to preserve mythology, but to participate in it? If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more resonant, symbolic, emotionally alive, or spiritually meaningful, this episode explores the deeper source from which mythic fiction arises. 02:45 How Modern Writers Understand Mythic Fiction and Archetypal Storytelling 03:58 The Mythological and Folk Tale Lens for Mythic Fiction 04:32 The Anthropological & Psychological Lens for Mythic Fiction 05:10 Pop Culture & the Mythic Retelling 06:27 Studying Myth vs. Writing Mythic Fiction 09:03 Borrowing vs. Accessing Symbols 11:17 Inherited Myth vs. Living Myth 12:16 Mythic Fiction in Cultural Times of Transformation 13:43 Our Relationship to the Old Stories Grows Thin 14:55 Mythic Fiction Requires the Partnership of Intuition and Intellect 16:11 Mythic Fiction Reconnects Writers to the Deep Source of Story 18:38 The Need for New Myths in a Changing World 20:15 New Myths, Ancient Roots 21:15 Participating in Myth as Much as Preserving It 21:59 Reconnecting to Myth in Your Own Writing Process Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

I gave you this example the other day of a visceral experience I had because a member of our congregation—a mother, had lost her child who was six years old. He had suffered a heart attack and was not revivable. She came to take counsel and solace. She brought with her a little bag that had some money in it; it came from her child's piggy bank. He had been saving that money to do something for Kṛṣṇa, and she had brought it to us and handed it over and said, "Please, would you engage this for the benefit of my departed son, who was six years old? This is all he had, as far as money goes." When my wife and I took that into our possession, we considered it sacred. There was no conception that we would stop on the way home and buy a snow cone with it. The idea of enjoying the material world is equally as odious to a person who has understood reality—that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa (bhoktāraṃ yajña-tapasāṃ). It's all meant to be engaged in His service. At the end of that third chapter of the Gītā, Arjuna asks, "How to overcome lust?" Kṛṣṇa ends the chapter by saying: evam buddhi-paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śatruṃ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṃ durāsadam He says that you should fortify your intelligence. With your intelligence because he said there is a hierarchy: the senses are above the objects, the mind is above the senses, the intelligence is above the mind. So, how do you do that? The way you purify your intellect so you don't do stupid things is by reading the Bhagavad-gītā; that's what it's there for. Everyone ignores the Bhagavad-gītā, and they say, "Give me some rasa-tattva." Nothing against rasa-tattva ; we keep it above our heads, way up there. But the Bhagavad-gītā is where we live, and Kṛṣṇa answers all questions categorically. And then, if you want the nuance of the categories, then you read the whole Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta about 108 times—the whole, each one of them—and then you are dissuaded from touching anything in this material world unless you have the intention of offering it to Kṛṣṇa. kurvan nirantaraṁ karma loko 'yam anuvartate tenaiva karmaṇā dhyāyan māṁ parāṁ bhaktim icchati (BS 5.61) This is the whole idea Kṛṣṇa mentions in the five ślokas at the end of the Brahma-saṃhitā. This is the answer to your question Kṛṣṇa gives to Brahmā at the end of the Brahma-saṃhitā. He said everyone has to work; all living entities are engaged in work, can't stop it. Therefore, he said everything you do, you should do with the spirit of devotion to offer to Kṛṣṇa. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

What are the underlying cognitive and psychological frameworks required to sustain a singular romantic attachment across a lifetime? We unpack Nietzsche's famous maxim that everything else in marriage is transitory, framing lifelong partnership as a continuous, co-curated psychological dialogue. Analyze the intersection of existential philosophy, attachment theory, and behavioral psychology to discover how communication dynamics form the ultimate foundation of interpersonal longevity.

The Qur'an tells us that the love of the ʿijl (the calf) seeped deeply into the hearts of Banū Isrāʾīl. It became a way of seeing the world, an attitude that reappeared again and again across generations. Prophet ʿĪsā ʿalayhi al-salām showed Banū Isrāʾīl tremendous signs. Yet even among his disciples, the same pattern resurfaced. They asked him: “Can your Lord send down to us a table spread from heaven?” He replied, “Fear Allah if you are truly believers.” But when the calf settles deep in the heart, miracles are never enough. They said they wanted reassurance so that their hearts would be at ease. The Qur'an shows us that the deeper problem was not lack of evidence, but a spiritual disease. The calf manifests as recalcitrance: questioning Allah's decree, interrogating revelation, and intellectualizing commands until obedience is pushed further and further away. True understanding does not come from intellect alone. Guidance settles in the heart. When the heart is purified through dhikr, worship, and spiritual cultivation, deeper understanding follows.

In episode 239, John Zachary challenges us in how we use our brains. Growing up, he had keen intellectual interests that shaped how he tried to understand God. When his brain hit walls in uncovering God, he learned to embrace uncertainty; it was from this place God revealed how he could use his brain in Spirit led ways, which led to his book, "The Science Behind the Story of Jesus." If you are wrestling with how to use your brain in your pursuit of God, this conversation may encourage you.How have you experienced Spirit-led intellect?Discover more from John:https://authorjohnzachary.com/https://www.facebook.com/author.John.zachary.officialhttps://x.com/Author_JohnZhttps://www.instagram.com/author_john_zachary/https://www.amazon.com/Science-Behind-Story-Jesus-Clear-Cut-ebook/dp/B0DZ3WKXYK?ref_=ast_author_mpb~Paul creates this as part of his full-time volunteer ministry.

A Princeton-trained PhD researcher walked away from academia's pinnacle because the biggest questions weren't being asked. What she found wasn't in a lab. It was in the intuitive gifts her field trained her to dismiss. Victoria Shaw spent years at Columbia and Princeton before realizing even brilliant minds don't reason toward truth—they find facts that fit their beliefs. The science on psychic phenomena is some of the most replicable data out there. We've just been taught it doesn't count. This conversation changed how I see intuition. Not as soft or unreliable, but as our primary instrument.00:00 The Limits of Intellect and Logic01:43 Victoria's Near-Death Moment at the Precipice02:55 From Princeton PhD to Spiritual Seeker05:52 Research on Why Smart People Don't Reason Well10:58 Awakening vs. Psychopathology: The Tipping Point13:52 The Unconventional Pediatrician Who Changed Everything18:38 Defining Intuition as Your Soul's Direct Line26:46 Living an Intuitively Guided Life Without Apology30:22 Guides, Higher Self, and the "God Spot" in Your Brain34:49 Intuitive Sessions vs. Therapy: What's Different41:46 Intuitive College Coaching and Following Soul Over Status46:33 Why Science Will Never Replace Direct Spiritual ConnectionLearn More About Victoria Shaw: Podcast: Intuitive Connection Website: victoriashawintuitive.comJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you'll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

“I’ve just started to tap into that, trusting a little bit faster over time. Because I see that when I make these decisions that feel aligned with what I want, and I believe is right for me, that on the other side, I haven’t regretted one of those decisions.” Allison Kahler Allison Kahler attended the Hoffman Process in 2024 after experiencing multiple big life changes. The Process helped her integrate these changes. One year later, Allison returned for the graduate Q2 in search of the catalyst that would move her forward into her new life. Before coming to the Process, Allison, who grew up in an “idyllic, loving, Catholic family,” felt tremendous guilt. Having had a ‘perfect childhood,’ she wondered if, instead of doing self-reflection work, she should just be grateful. But she found that even in a ‘perfect’ childhood, we still adopt patterns. Allison had adopted messages of perfection and proving worth through achievement. She had internalized the external pressure she felt as a child, with work being her number one focus in life. During her Process, Allison began to set the stage for her new life, realizing she is allowed to have dreams and desires. She started asking and listening to the quiet voice within. She started to develop a deeper trust in this voice. And she began to look for the spark that would launch her into her new life. A year post-Process, Allison came to Hoffman’s graduate retreat, the Q2. There, she found the catalyst she was looking for through an experience of self-compassion. Finding self-forgiveness lit the catalytic spark. By listening to the quiet voice within and developing her trust muscle through sustained action, Allison is now living into her new life. We hope you enjoy this uplifting conversation with Allison and Sadie. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify More about Allison Kahler: Allison, host of The D. Tales Allison Kahler is an executive coach and the host of The D. Tales with Allison Kahler. A recovering perfectionist and lifelong insecure overachiever, Allison spent nearly two decades in management consulting before realizing that much of her drive was fueled by fear, self-doubt, and deeply ingrained patterns formed early in life. After going through a divorce at 33, an experience that left her carrying years of guilt and shame, she made a series of life-altering changes: leaving a nearly 20-year consulting career, moving cross-country from Chicago to Santa Monica, and questioning not just her marriage and career, but who she was and who she wanted to become. Young Allison Allison's experience at The Process marked a profound turning point. Through a deep commitment to the daily tools and practices, she began to shed limiting beliefs, transform long-held patterns, and learn to meet herself with greater self-compassion. Today, Allison supports leaders and individuals navigating transition, working with organizations as an executive coach and advisor. She works with individuals through The D. Tales, her podcast. There, she shares real divorce stories and grounded conversations with experts about identity, healing, and rewriting the next chapter of their lives. At the heart of her work is a belief shaped by lived experience: that even our most painful life transitions can become powerful invitations to reconnect with who we truly are and move forward with greater clarity, courage, and self-trust.

Peace is primary.But not all peace is the same.In this episode, we break down the difference between the peace the world gives and the peace Jesus leaves. You'll discover how the pressure to have all the answers, control outcomes, and “know it all” is actually what disrupts your peace.We unpack the concept of “submitted doing” — moving without needing full understanding, staying connected to the One who does. When you release the need to figure everything out, you step into a flow that doesn't strive, panic, or force results.You don't need all the answers.You need alignment.

Check out this great show from April 2, 2025 Father Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss Intellect and faith When it comes to Jesus, we must care and we must mind (2:53) What does the intellect teach us about the life of faith? The intellect is a human faculty that is a direct reflection of God. (4:04) Faith should be accessible to us all (11:27) Our capacity to love is finite. Do you want to grow in love? The only way to expand your love is to expand your mind? (14:48) Break 1 (22:28) The difference between the intellect, the will, and the passions? (23:51) Dean - As we talk about reason and faith, we need to think about how can we make it accessible to all people? The illumination of God is so important. (27:35) Email – Bob – Is supernatural faith necessary for salvation and are people who lack faith culpable for that lack of faith? (31:10) Glen - There is a difference about learning about Jesus, and knowing Jesus. (33:43) Break 2 (36:45) Addressing the objection, “I just believe” or “I kind of know the faith already and you can’t teach me anything new about the Church”. (37:38) Regina - What does Jesus mean when he says: 'unless you become like little children, you cannot enter into the kingdom'. (41:33) Resources: Angelic Warfare Confraternity

James Bryce (1838–1922) was a leading figure in Britain's Liberal Party and a distinguished historian, a versatile scholar-politician who moved seamlessly between academia and politics. He was, among many other things, a cabinet minister and a popular ambassador, an expert on American politics and on Roman law, an advocate for the Armenian people and an architect of the League of Nations, a world traveller and a climber of Mount Ararat. In Liberal Worlds: James Bryce and the Democratic Intellect (Princeton UP, 2025), Stuart Jones offers an intellectual biography of Bryce, tracing a Scots-Ulster Presbyterian's assimilation to the increasingly multiconfessional Victorian state, and a late Victorian Liberal's encounter with the wider world. Jones shows how a polymathic intelligence grappled with a dizzyingly wide range of concerns and issues, including the challenges of democracy and race relations, the rise of modern universities and the reconstruction of the international order after World War I.In mapping the evolution of Bryce's thought, Liberal Worlds illuminates the international intellectual networks and the many places across the globe that shaped his thinking. Jones considers, for example, why a man who had a lifelong revulsion against slavery seemed to accept racial segregation in the American South; how a vigorous activist for girls' and women's education became a tenacious parliamentary critic of women's suffrage; and why, over the objections of his Ulster Presbyterian family, he backed Irish home rule. Above all, Jones rescues Bryce—immensely influential in his time, now little remembered—from being consigned to a historical pigeonhole, restoring him to the centre of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century debates over the nature of democratic politics. Stuart Jones is professor of intellectual history at the University of Manchester. He is the author of The French State in Question: Public Law and Political Argument in the Third Republic, Victorian Political Thought, and Intellect and Character in Victorian England: Mark Pattison and the Invention of the Don. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Instinct and intellect were always meant to work together.But somewhere along the way they got severed.In this episode, we explore the difference between God instinct and human intellect, and how letting intellect lead can cause us to overthink, overanalyze, and miss what's already embedded inside of us. Jesus consistently moved from instinct—responding to the Father rather than trying to figure everything out.We also unpack how your curriculum becomes your current. What you feed your mind daily shapes the direction your life flows. When instinct takes the reins and intellect falls into alignment, you stop striving to manufacture outcomes and start becoming a pipeline for the will of God.
