LESSON 259Let Me Remember That There Is No Sin.Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unattainable. What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? What else but sin engenders our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? And what but sin could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You are the Source of everything there is. And everything that is remains with You, and You with it.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Literacy is so essential to how we live, communicate, learn, build relationships, and participate in society that we rarely consider how many people in our lives and communities have not had access to it. The numbers tell a story that demands our attention and requires a solution that is embedded into our social systems. Today, 140 million American adults cannot read beyond a 5th or 6th grade level. This is a crisis and a generational barrier to parents who want their children to succeed but are unable to assist them in the journey. As Dr. Heather Jenkins, my guest on this episode of Power Station says, we have a history in this country of gatekeeping the pathway to literacy. As President and CEO of The Literacy Lab, she is building and implementing a model of learning that demonstrates what is possible when we value our educators and the children in their care. Dr. Jenkins wants to know why America's literacy emergency is not a national conversation. After learning about the efficacy of the Literacy Lab's training, teaching, professional development and advocacy you will wonder why this vital organization's work is not headline news.

We continue in this series on the Gospel of Luke and look at several more of the stories Luke includes about women. The woman that anointed Jesus feet is not unique to Luke but he includes it because of it's significance, he is the only one that includes the description of the woman that followed Jesus and supported Him with there money, a sick woman healed by Jesus, raising a young girl from the dead, Martha and Mary are talked about which were unique to Luke. And many more. It is fascinating to realize that Luke was not part of the disciples when these things happened. He made it a point of interviewing many people to learn of these stories so he could include them.

Molly and Clarissa sit down for another Clinician's Corner to dig into shadow work — what Carl Jung meant by it, why it's not just a "woo-woo" concept, and why it belongs in food addiction recovery. They talk about the parts of ourselves we learn to hide (anger, desire, ambition, even joy), how those exiled parts often drive the very behaviors we're trying to recover from, and how projection, envy, and even compliments can point us straight to what we've buried. This episode previews the Shadow Work module inside Liberation, Sweet Sobriety's brand-new 10-module program launching this fall. WHAT WE COVER Why Molly built a shadow work module into Liberation, and how it connects to the Shame module covered in a previous episode Carl Jung's quote — "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate" and what it means in practice The iceberg metaphor: the curated 10% we show the world vs. the 90% underneath driving our behavior Where the shadow comes from (genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger) and why this isn't about blaming parents How substance use, food behaviors, and other compulsive patterns often exist to manage and suppress shadow parts Recovery work doesn't make the shadow disappear — and why it can get louder, becoming a high-risk time for return to use Projection: how "accusations are often confessions," and why the people who irritate us most can be mirrors The Golden Shadow — the positive traits (confidence, joy, ambition) we also learn to suppress or deny Why receiving compliments can feel unbearable, and what that has to do with shadow work Envy and jealousy reframed as information rather than something shameful Individuation and integration — Jung's idea that the goal isn't to eliminate these parts, but to become a whole person who can hold all of them How return to use fits into this: not a moral failure, but sometimes a shadow part that hasn't been integrated A personal moment on privilege, shame, and how rejecting a part of ourselves can limit our ability to help others What to expect from the Shadow Work module inside Liberation LIBERATION — SWEET SOBRIETY'S NEW PROGRAM Liberation is the next step after Foundations — a deeper 10-module program covering shadow work, shame, anger, guilt, the inner critic, ADHD and the nervous system, trauma, highly sensitive people, and more. You do not need to have completed Foundations first. Modules release the week of September 21. Live sessions begin October 15 at 1:00–2:30 PM Eastern. Starting price: $400 USD for this first round (early participants help shape the program, same as the first Foundations cohort) Learn more and join us: https://sweetsobriety.newzenler.com/courses/sweet-sobriety-liberation RESOURCES & LINKS Catch our earlier episode on Shame: https://open.spotify.com/episode/44sTxYKeVv7r01wtSKkYtm?si=7557f537d5314ebd Sweet Sobriety Foundations Program: https://sweetsobriety.newzenler.com/courses/sweet-sobriety-foundations Sweet Sobriety website: https://www.sweetsobriety.ca/ Have a topic you want us to cover?

Kazu Haga I have lived in Buddhist monasteries. I have spent the last twenty-five years in social justice movements. I have sat in hundreds of circles with incarcerated people witnessing them do the hard work of healing and accountability. And I have been humbled and inspired by my own, never-ending healing journey.My work tries to bring all of my experiences together in a way that contributes to social change and collective liberation. Each day I find myself more committed to fighting injustice. And each day, I learn more that the fight for justice is not a political battle. It is about healing the impact of violence and separation on our souls.Something Rather Than Nothing Podcast

Jen speaks with Rev. Robert Smith about Marc Ellis's book Judaism Does Not Equal Israel. Smith, a former student of Ellis, discusses his mentor's legacy as a Jewish liberation theologian and explores the flawed "ecumenical deal" in Jewish-Christian dialogue.

Spiritual Liberation, Memory Reconsolidation, and the End of the Separate SelfMonica Khosla explores spiritual awakening, nonduality, and liberation through the surprising lens of neuroscience and memory reconsolidation. A somatic psychotherapist, she describes a sudden shift during a yoga class in 2009 in which the sense of being a separate self simply fell away.Monica is the author of The First and Last Belief: A Theory of Liberation in the Age of Neuroscience. In this conversation with Rick Archer, she considers whether the apparent end of separation may be understood as the release of a fundamental embodied assumption—an update in the brain's model of reality rather than the attainment of a special spiritual status.They discuss her early spiritual experiences, her long search through psychology, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, astrology, and nondual teachings, and the quiet, unremarkable character of the shift she calls liberation. Monica distinguishes enduring liberation from transitory spiritual states, challenges common assumptions about enlightenment, and emphasizes that liberation does not make someone perfect, omniscient, or free of ordinary human habits and difficulties.The conversation also explores memory reconsolidation, trauma therapy, predictive processing, consciousness, the nature of perception, the relationship between ancient contemplative traditions and modern neuroscience, free will and responsibility, personal identity, and how spiritual understanding may—or may not—translate into ordinary life.Book: The First and Last Belief: A theory of Liberation in the age of neuroscienceWebsite: nondualitynow.comDiscussion of this interview in the BatGap Community Facebook Group

In this episode we begin looking at the stories that Luke includes about women. In Jesus' time they were very much neglected and Luke makes a point of including them which Jesus had done and the other gospel writers had omitted. For example Luke includes Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist and her blessing to Mary. Marys interaction with Gabriel of her concept of Jesus and her visit to Elizabeth, as well as The Magnificat of Mary. He also included Anna a prophetess who spoke out in the temple. Jesus raised from the dead the Widow of Nain's son. The pdf for this episode is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca #Ian Hartley#Warren Kay#Sascha Steenbergen#Rediscovering God

We are wildly In love with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma... and completely divided. Director Jane Schoenbrun's follow-up to "I Saw the TV Glow" is a dense, sexy, gorgeous, titillating quantum leap of a film that asks the question; where is the line between being scared and being turned on? We discuss sexual awakenings, queer trauma and liberation, the true meaning and importance of fandom, and the film's oddly satisfying use of "Long December" by the Counting Crows. Plus, the artistry of the "snow master", ties to "Backrooms", and the real life Hollywood parallels.

Typically an hour in length, an intimate group of all ages, genders and races, from all over the world gathers on Zoom to sit in guided meditation, contemplate a reading and then share in conversation. Each gathering is centered around a spiritual theme chosen and guided by Davin.

On the wisdom of open awareness and the benefit of the simplest practices in our daily life.  0:00 - Introduction and Guest Welcome 1:57 - Machik Labdron and the Source Code of Life 7:47 - Mahayana and Vajrayana: Differences and Similarities 13:36 - Ground, Path, and Fruition: The Buddhist Path of Liberation 21:41 - Engaging with the Practices of Sky Mind 27:37 - The Paradox of Meditation and External Impact 36:31 - Sky Mind Meditation Practice Partners in life, practice, and parenting, Charlotte Rotterdam and Pieter Oosthuizen draw on decades of dedicated study and practice to share the rich teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and their application to modern life. They've served as faculty at Naropa University, are senior teachers at Tara Mandala Retreat Center founded by Lama Tsultrim Allione, and teach globally. Their recent book, Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness (Shambhala, 2026), highlights the nature of mind teachings of the 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron and their relevance in our everyday lives. Amid life's relentless challenges, uncertainties, and endless striving, how do we find a sense of ease, clarity, and connection? Skymind offers a way to step back from life's constant push and pull and discover the spaciousness and wholeness that has always been within you. Inspired by the revolutionary teachings of Machig Labdrön, an 11th-century Tibetan yogini who pioneered a radical approach to inner freedom, this book introduces Skymind meditation—a practice that helps you cultivate clarity, compassion, and resilience by resting in the sky-like nature of your mind. Through simple exercises, contemplations, and Machig's powerful verses, you'll be guided to meet life's challenges with courage and radical acceptance. These teachings invite you to embrace every part of your experience—even the emotions and thoughts you'd rather avoid—and discover the freedom that comes from including everything in your awareness. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, Skymind offers profound insights and practical tools to help you live with authenticity, ease, and a heart as vast as the sky.

We continue on this series to show that Luke was liberated from the racism that still impacts the other gospel writers. He includes many stories and teachings that the other just leave out entirely. For example, The Shrewd Manager, the Grateful Samaritan leper, the Pharisee and Publican that went to pray, Zaccheus, and that Jesus prays for his executioners who would have been Gentiles.

Your body isn't failing you in midlife — but menopause, stress, changing hormones, and years of dieting may be changing the way your body responds to food, hunger, energy, and even your emotions.In this episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, I sit down with Regina Oswald, author and ICF coach, for an important conversation about menopause, midlife weight struggles, emotional eating, cravings, intuitive eating, and rebuilding trust with your body after 40.If you've ever wondered why the things that worked for you in your 20s and 30s don't seem to work anymore, this conversation is for you.Regina shares the story behind her Body Mind Harmony Method and explains how years of dieting, restriction, tracking, and relying on willpower can make it harder to recognize your body's natural hunger and fullness signals. We talk about how women can begin listening to those signals again without jumping into another restrictive diet.We also explore the connection between the nervous system, cortisol, chronic stress, sleep, emotional eating, and menopause — and why supporting your nervous system may be an important part of creating sustainable wellness in midlife.Regina shares a simple awareness practice you can use before eating to create a moment between an urge and your response. We also talk about the power of celebrating small wins, changing the way you speak to yourself, and creating habits that actually fit the woman you are becoming.But this conversation goes beyond food and weight.We talk about what it means to age consciously and boldly, stay physically and mentally engaged, rediscover your purpose, and imagine what you want the next chapter of your life to look like.If you are a woman over 40 or 50 navigating menopause, changing hormones, stress, cravings, emotional eating, midlife weight changes, or simply trying to feel more at home in your body, this episode offers a refreshing way to think about wellness.Because midlife isn't the time to declare war on your body.It's time to learn how to work with it.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Send us Fan MailAirline seats, workplace bias, inaccessible events, and “just lose weight” culture all point to the same truth: anti-fatness is systemic, and it costs people real freedom. We're joined by Tigress Osborn, executive director of NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance), to talk about what it takes to build a fat liberation movement that actually includes everybody, not just the people with money, mobility, or proximity to big-city community spaces.We dig into the origins of Fat Liberation Month (created by NAAFA), why it moved to August, and how NAAFA keeps so much of its programming virtual to support accessibility, disability inclusion, and global participation. Tigress shares what's still on the calendar, including the Making Waves Fat Swim in the Bay Area and the Virtual Fat Splash, because summertime fun should not have a body requirement.Then we zoom out to the bigger fight: size discrimination and the Campaign for Size Freedom, the fat liberation flag and its evolving design, and why legal protections are still rare in the United States. We also get real about underfunded social justice work, donor programs, volunteering, and why small monthly gifts matter, plus what advocacy can look like when airlines and brands roll back inclusion.If you care about fat rights, weight stigma, accessibility, and community building, this conversation will give you both history and practical next steps.

Apologies! We've had a few technical issues but we've got an all timer for you coming from the depths of white savior hell. Shadrach is a painful watch. Not simply because of the subject matter (a 99 year old slave WALKS from Alabama to Virginia to die on the plantation he was born on) but for the fact that they treat this full grown Black man like a prop.  We dig into the history of the short story the film is based on, what kind of horrible make-up job they did on this man and read some of the absolutely insane reviews people left for this film.  Join our book club! Follow us on the socials to see our reading list and catch us discussing our first book (Toni Morrison's Language as Liberation) very soon.

Mike Dedrick of the Daniel Ellsburg Chapter of Veterans for Peace, Seattle, interviews two activists for the cause of Palestine liberation from the organization Nidal. This show is important for so many reasons but one is the hypocrisy of international sports. They discuss FIFA specifically but what happens next will Israel be banned from the Olympics, like Russia, will the United States for supporting genocide and attacking Iran?

There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Host Erin Ayala sits down with writer, speaker, and educator Chrissy King to unpack “body liberation” and how racism, diet culture, and the relentless “maxing” mindset intersect.Chrissy shares personal stories from her journey—writing The Body Liberation Project, navigating publishing, and redefining success on her own terms.Listeners will walk away with a fresh framework for reclaiming their bodies, boosting joy, and building collective freedom in their personal and professional lives.Key TakeawaysBody liberation vs. body positivity: Liberation means challenging systemic racism and diet culture, not just “loving every inch.”Spot the “maxing” trap: Constantly optimizing (protein, fitness, productivity) drains bandwidth and hampers creativity; learn to set intentional, sustainable limits.Collective liberation: Use your privilege to call out fat‑phobic, racist, or exclusionary language in everyday conversations and professional settings.Practical habit shifts: 1. Identify one standard you're chasing that isn't yours and pause it this week. 2. Replace doom‑scrolling with a tactile activity (e.g., crochet, chess) to reset mental bandwidth. 3. Share resources (books, articles) that center marginalized voices instead of speaking for them.Publishing insights: A slower, deliberate book proposal can yield a far better deal than an immediate offer.Chrissy's Substack, The Liberation Collective – https://chrissyking.com/substack (or similar)Instagram & TikTok: @iamchrissyking – https://instagram.com/iamchrissykingIf you found this conversation valuable, hit Subscribe so you never miss an episode, leave a review on your favorite platform, and share the episode with fellow entrepreneurs who are ready to break free from limiting body narratives.

About River Shannon River Shannon is a lawyer, a Soto Zen priest, and a deeply committed member of the queer and trans community she serves. River is the Manager of Legal Services at QMUNITY, where she provides legal support to queer, trans, and Two-Spirit people across British Columbia. QMUNITY's Legal Clinic offers free, low-barrier legal services and support around issues including human rights, employment, housing and tenancy, family law, name changes, and gender-marker changes. But River's work is about much more than the law. As a trans lawyer serving her own community, she understands something that can be difficult to capture in a legal file: what it means to enter a legal system carrying your identity, your history, your vulnerability, and sometimes your fear of being misunderstood. Her work creates a different possibility—one in which legal advocacy can also be an act of recognition, dignity, relationship, and care. River is also a Soto Zen priest in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. She received priest ordination in October 2023 from Myoshin Kate McCandless, a guiding teacher of Mountain Rain Zen Community in Vancouver. Her writing explores the intersection of Zen practice, transition, identity, impermanence, compassion, and what it means to live as a whole person. That combination of lawyer, trans woman, community advocate, and Zen practitioner makes River's perspective particularly powerful. There is a thread running through all of this work: how do we meet people where they are, with compassion, and help create the conditions for them to become more fully themselves? In this conversation, we talk about law and community, trans identity and belonging, the importance of being seen by the people who serve us, and what it means to practice law with humility, care, compassion, and love. River's work reminds us that legal practice does not have to be separate from humanity. Sometimes, the most transformative legal work begins simply with saying: I see you. I understand you. You don't have to go through this on your own.  About QMUNITY's Legal Clinic QMUNITY's Legal Clinic provides free, low-barrier legal services to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and families throughout British Columbia. The clinic offers consultations, referrals, and limited representation in areas including: Human rights Employment Tenancy and housing Family law Name changes and gender-marker updates Other legal issues affecting queer, trans, and Two-Spirit communities QMUNITY also offers Trans ID Clinics to support people navigating legal name changes and gender-marker changes. Learn more: QMUNITY Legal Clinic QMUNITY: QMUNITY — Queer, Trans and Two-Spirit Resource Centre Why this work matters Trans and gender-diverse people continue to experience significant legal and social inequities in Canada. The 2021 Canadian Census was the first national census to collect gender identity separately from sex assigned at birth. Among people aged 15 and older living in private households, 100,815 people identified as transgender or non-binary—about 0.33% of the population. Statistics Canada and the federal government note that this may be an underestimate because some people may not have felt comfortable disclosing their gender identity. (Canada) Legal problems are also disproportionately common. A Canadian Justice Department review of research on trans people's legal needs found that 71% of trans respondents in one Ontario study had experienced at least one legal problem in the previous three years, compared with 48% of the general population. These problems included discrimination, employment, housing, healthcare, police interactions, family matters, immigration, and other areas of law. (Ministère de la Justice) And while Canada has made important legal advances—including explicit human-rights protections based on gender identity—legal protection does not necessarily mean equal access to justice or equal treatment within legal systems.

The Titan Prometheus is among the most influential and controversial figures in Greek Mythology. He shaped humanity from clay and gifted us fire; fire which he stole from the gods, a crime for which he is punished by Zeus. Yet in fragments of lost myth, a son of Zeus sees to it that his punishment is not forever.Philosophers, writers, and artists have wrestled with the myth of Prometheus for thousands of years, debating whether he is a hero or villain, and if his gift of fire is a blessing or a curse. But universally, every time and place that examines his story becomes a center of arts and culture. In engaging with the myth of Prometheus, the champion of humanity and rival of Zeus, we might find the same wisdom and inspiration that they did.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:08 Prometheus by Maxfield Parrish00:43 Prometheus Stealing Fire by Jan Cossiers01:00 Prometheus With Torch by Frans Huygelen, photographed by Wolfgang Pehlemann, licensed under Creative Commons01:07 Prometheus by Paul Manship, photographed by Emanuela Meme Giudici, licensed under Creative Comons01:30 Shaper of Clay01:34 Prometheus by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin02:00 Engraving from the Museum of Giovanni Carafa02:29 Illumination of Ovid's Metamorphoses from the Bodleian Library03:09 Fire Thief03:13 Prometheus by José Clemente Orozco03:55 Sacrifice to Athena by the Painter of Berlin, photographed by ArchaiOptix, licensed under Creative Commons04:29 Jupiter by Hans Thoma04:43 Hesiod, Works and Days05:08 Prometheus Brings Fire to Mankind by Heinrich Füger05:18 Crime and Punishment05:22 Pandora Crowned by the Seasons by William Etty05:41 Pandora by John William Waterhouse05:54 Pandora by Jules Joseph Lefebvre06:06 Prometheus Bound by Thomas Cole06:16 Prometheus Bound by Peter Paul Rubens06:22 Prometheus by Theodoor Rombouts06:41 Creation of Pandora by the Niobid Painter06:50 Hispania by Cecilio Plá07:04 The Torture of Prometheus by Jean Louis César Lair07:16 Giovanni Boccaccio by Andrea del Castagno07:21 Marsillio Ficino by Cristofano dell'Altissimo07:28 Study for Prometheus by John Singer Sargent07:53 Prometheus by Gustave Moreau08:04 Prometheus Unbound08:08 Heracles Freeing the Bound Prometheus, from the Louvre08:16 Hercules Farnese08:41 Prometheus' Liberation by Carl Bloch09:03 Aeschylus, from the Naples National Archaeological Museum, photographed by Zdeněk Kratochví, licensed under Creative Commons09:15 Titan Struck by Lightning by François Dumont09:23 Achilles and Thetis by Friedrich Preller the Younger09:46 Hercules Frees Prometheus by Frank T Merrill10:06 Myth of Prometheus by Piero di Cosimo10:34 Bringer of Light10:58 Eagle of Zeus by Triodos Trivium, licensed under Creative Commons11:03 Prometheus Animating Man by Parmigianino11:11 Title Page to Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

The way the Kingdom of God is talked about in churches can be oppressive. God is presented as the ultimate monarch in the sky demanding our obedience. If that is what closeness to God looks like, distance feels kinder. But what if that is in direct opposition to what Jesus taught? Not in some lost book. Not in gnostic texts. And not in some esoteric way. the Gospels themselves repudiate this message! Join me for some musings as I go back to the Bible to Unpack what has been there all the time!

The Dalai Lama suggests that we check in with our spiritual practice every ten years or so. Using the 18th anniversary of teaching as a jumping off point, Mary checks in with where spiritual practice can lead and what it may look like. It's not about achieving a particular goal, but about how we show up in the world and recognize our shared humanity.Recorded Aug. 15, 2026 in the virtual worldBhikkhu Bodhi article: A Challenge to BuddhistsSend me a text with any questions or comments!

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageNinety hours of World War II history sounds like a stunt until you realize what it does to your perspective. I just finished Rick Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy on Audible, spread across six years, and I can't stop thinking about what it means to “walk” from North Africa to Sicily, up the Italian campaign, and into the final push across Western Europe. This isn't a cheerleading tour of victory. It's a clear-eyed account of how the United States Army starts green, makes painful mistakes, and learns the hard way what modern war demands. We talk about why this matters now, with the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaching and firsthand memories fading fast. Atkinson wrote these books so we would never be allowed to forget, and his reporting background shows up on every page: friendly fire, vanity at the top, racism in a segregated army, and the chaos of Kasserine Pass sit right alongside courage and endurance. The big takeaway is uncomfortable and necessary: liberation was never inevitable. It was paid for, one battle and one life at a time. We also connect Atkinson's ground-level storytelling to Victor Davis Hanson's The Second World Wars, which asks the colder question: why did the Allies actually win? Hanson gives us the production, fuel, airframes, and industrial capacity that made victory probable. Atkinson gives us the men who had to climb out of the landing craft and make that probability real. Along the way, we share two passages that land like a weight, including Audie Murphy's stark line about there being “no exhilaration at being alive.” If you want a taste before committing to the full trilogy, we point you to the free Mojo Academy book briefs. Key Points from the Episode:• the six-year path through An Army at Dawn, The Day of Battle, and The Guns at Last Light  • why the 80th anniversary of VE Day makes remembering urgent  • Atkinson's credibility as a Washington Post writer and two-time Pulitzer winner  • the US Army's early mistakes in North Africa and what Kasserine Pass reveals  • how Sicily and Italy show adaptation without a triumphalist tone  • the idea that greatness is failing, adjusting, and finishing the job  • why liberation was paid for one soldier at a time  • the contrast with Victor Davis Hanson on industrial capacity and free men  • Audie Murphy's “no exhilaration” as sacrifice without swagger  Links?

Daniel Tutt and returning guest C. Derick Varn join Steve to discuss their new book, The People Are Not One: Socialist Strategy After Left Populism, whose title states its thesis outright. When the left speaks of a unified people confronting a corrupt elite, it conceals the real stratifications inside the working class and borrows a Manichean framework that functions identically on the right. Their argument: since 2008, from Occupy through Syriza, Podemos, Corbyn, and Sanders, left populism has served to extinguish the class antagonism at the center of socialism, operating as a new Popular Front in which liberalism holds the upper hand.The conversation lands directly on this show's own history. Varn is blunt about his long-running argument with MMT advocates: he never disputed the nature of the currency, he disputed the analysis of power. They are not going to let you have a Job Guarantee, because it removes their ability to discipline workers. Steve agrees, describing his own path out of economism and the trap of thinking a basket of policies and a few more progressives in office adds up to a threat to capital.On class consciousness, Varn is careful with a term he calls one of the most abused in socialist history. The reason to organize around the working class is not its victimhood. It is that the working class already possesses, collectively, the skills to reproduce society. The differences within the working class are resolvable. The difference between the working class and those who live off its labor is not.They close on electoralism. Varn's formulation: electoralism is a tactic, not a principle. Democracy is the principle. Tutt points to Lenin's actual position, that ballots are justified only alongside extra-parliamentary means and on terms of strict class independence. The Popular Front let liberalism lead. The United Front did not.If you've followed this show from Ep 218 - Beware! the Counter-Revolution with C. Derick Varn, through Ep 318 - The Death of the Left? with Simon Winlow & Steve Hall, Ep 371 - You Can't Vote Away Colonialism with Fadhel Kaboub, and Ep 388 - From Theory to Praxis: Lenin's Revolutionary Formula with Breht O'Shea, this episode is the strategic argument those conversations kept circling.

You're about to hear a conversation about leadership. Today's guest, Dr. Annmarie Caño, is an expert in leadership. Dr. Caño draws on her 25-year career in higher education — and her love of Ignatian spirituality — in her work today as a writer, speaker and executive coach who helps higher education and social impact leaders enact personal and systemic change. She draws heavily on liberation theology, liberation psychology and the legacy of the Salvadoran martyrs in her work and her personal reflections. And she has a wonderful new book from Johns Hopkins University Press called “Leading Toward Liberation: How to Build Cultures of Thriving in Higher Education.” But what today's host, Eric Clayton, continues to find so compelling about his conversation with Annmarie is the fact of where they met: She attended a conference that the Jesuit Media Lab co-hosted on the Catholic imagination and speculative storying. Why? It wasn't because she's a burgeoning fantasy author — though they do talk a bit about Tolkien in today's conversation. No — she attended that conference because she sees as foundational to her mission the work of bringing to life un otro mundo posible — or an “other” possible world. Quite literally, Dr. Caño is thinking about leadership as the creation of other realities, other ways of living, and she is concerned about ensuring that everyone — particularly those often forgotten by society — have a seat at the table. As much as Eric loves talking about Middle-earth and Narnia, he was even more excited to get to talk about what it might look like to build new worlds in our actual, real lives — and to consider the real people that can helped in so doing.

What does it truly mean to practice ecotherapy? In this episode Will welcomes ecotherapist and founder of Natureza Therapy and Natureza Coaching Collective, Laura Marques Brown, for a thought-provoking conversation about the evolving field of nature-based mental health. Laura shares her journey as the daughter of Brazilian immigrants, how her search for belonging led her into the mountains of Colorado and graduate training at Naropa University, and why she believes nature became the one place where she never had to hide who she was. Together, they explore the foundations of her work in decolonized ecotherapy, her framework of Land, Lineage, and Liberation, and how reconnecting with the natural world can help people heal trauma, restore belonging, and rediscover their relationship with the living world. The conversation also examines some of today's biggest challenges facing therapists and mental health professionals, including burnout, the mental health impacts of climate change and social instability, and what Laura describes as our current polycrisis.

In This Episode: Honoring the Pause: Opening with a moment of silence to ground ourselves in breath, ancestral wisdom, and intentionality before diving into today's conversation. Opening Prayer We pause to honor the breath that sustains us and the silence that clears the way. We step into this space rooted in ancient wisdom, shielded against distraction, and undisturbed in our purpose. As we open these pages and engage these ideas, grant us the clarity to discern signal from static. May the words we explore serve as tools for liberation, strengthening our minds, nourishing our bodies, and fortifying our community. We give thanks for the privilege of focus, the wealth of knowledge, and the sanctuary of this circle. Rooted. Shielded. Undisturbed. Amen.   Grief, Joy & Creation: A personal reflection on navigating deep loss—grieving the passing of Ethel and my mother—while wrestling with imposter syndrome, finding solace in music, and celebrating life's small wins. The whitewashing of The Handmaid's Tale: A critical breakdown of how Gilead's post-racial casting erases the historical, racialized nature of reproductive control. We explore how white feminist dystopian tropes flatten intersectionality by repackaging the real-world historical oppressions of Black and Indigenous women into a speculative warning for white women. Literary Sovereignty & Counter-Narratives: Shifting the focus to works that center true resilience—examining Octavia Butler's speculative genius and Louise Erdrich's Future Home of the Living God as living records of Indigenous sovereignty and Black survival. Reclaiming the Archive: Why we must control our own narratives rather than relying on white savior tropes, highlighting institutions like the NMAAHC and NMAI that preserve real-world history over fictional panic. Perimeter Defense & Modern Vigilance: Drawing parallels between military readiness and civilian life—protecting our minds, digital spaces, and communities from scams, educational exploitation, and modern trickery through strict boundaries and active situational awareness. Pop Culture Round-Up: Quick takes on the latest season of Real Housewives of Orange County, the messy execution of Ladies of OC, why Carlos King's commentary remains elite, and a quick sports stat correction on William Jackson III's roster status with the Steelers. Resources & Mentions: Books: Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich; speculative works by Octavia Butler. Cultural Institutions: National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). What are your thoughts on this week's discussion?

In Session 335 of In Class With Carr, we continue Black August during our annual study tour of Kemet [Ancient Egypt] and the Nile Valley. Following pathways of liberatory intellectual work of previous generations of Africans engaged in Global Black Study helps us to resist current efforts to disrupt deeper collective study as well as to attempt to privatize and commodify broad access to information. Studying Kemet is a foundational element of the broader work of liberating Black people and all humanity from all forms of oppression.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired November 10, 2022. In this podcast, Eckhart encourages participants to start with a moment of stillness. He says through quiet and calm we get in touch with that part of ourselves Eckhart calls “The Deep I.” Eckhart believes that by reaching beyond our personality and our physical bodies we will discover a deeper dimension to who we are. He says it's here where we transcend the old inner narratives to find liberation from ourselves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
