kérlelte őt Réka.En: “Bence, come and see the library with me!” Réka pleaded.Hu: Bence elmosolyodott, de csak tovább merengett.En: Bence smiled but continued to ponder.Hu: Réka leült mellé, és bátorítóan megveregette a vállát.En: Réka sat next to him and patted his shoulder encouragingly.Hu: „Tudom, hogy nyomaszt, de akárhogy is döntesz, az a gondos megfontolásból születik meg.En: “I know it's weighing on you, but whatever decision you make, it will be born out of careful consideration.Hu: Ne félj!”En: Don't be afraid!”Hu: Végül következett a könyvtár, az apátság egyik csodája.En: Finally, they visited the library, one of the abbey's wonders.Hu: Amikor Bence belépett az ódon falak közé, érezte, ahogy a hely szelleme átöleli.En: As Bence entered the ancient walls, he felt the spirit of the place envelop him.Hu: A roppant könyvespolcok, a régi kódexek látványa mind mély benyomást tett rá.En: The immense bookshelves, the sight of the old codices, all made a deep impression on him.Hu: Egy pillanatra úgy tűnt, itt bármi lehetséges.En: For a moment, it seemed that anything was possible here.Hu: „Réka, muszáj elmondanom valamit” - kezdte Bence, miközben a polcok között sétáltak.En: “Réka, I have to tell you something,” Bence began as they walked among the shelves.Hu: „Nem tudom, melyik egyetemet kellene választanom.En: “I don't know which university I should choose.Hu: Félek, hogy rossz döntést hozok.”En: I'm afraid of making the wrong decision.”Hu: Réka megállt, és komolyan felé fordult.En: Réka stopped and turned towards him seriously.Hu: „Bence, néha a legbátrabb lépés az, ha elismerjük, hogy nem tudunk mindent.En: “Bence, sometimes the bravest step is admitting that we don't know everything.Hu: A döntéseink gyakran kockázatosak, de ez teszi őket izgalmassá.En: Our decisions are often risky, but that's what makes them exciting.Hu: Mitől félnél jobban: attól, hogy hibázol, vagy attól, hogy meg sem próbálod?”En: What are you more afraid of: making a mistake or not even trying?”Hu: Bence elgondolkodott.En: Bence pondered.Hu: Réka szavai felrázták.En: Réka's words shook him.Hu: Nem az volt a lényeg, hogy minden kockázatmentes legyen, hanem hogy olyan úton induljon el, ami igazán érdekli.En: The point wasn't for everything to be risk-free, but to set off on a path that truly interested him.Hu: Elkezdett beszélni Rékának egy programról, ami nagy kihívásnak tűnt, de ugyanennyire izgalmas is.En: He started talking to Réka about a program that seemed like a great challenge but just as exciting.Hu: A kirándulás végére Bence már nem volt bizonytalan.En: By the end of the trip, Bence was no longer uncertain.Hu: Eldöntötte, hogy jelentkezik arra az egyetemre, amelyik igazán érdekli.En: He decided to apply to the university that truly interested him.Hu: Mosolygott, amikor kiléptek a templom kapuján a ragyogó napsütésbe.En: He smiled as they stepped out of the temple into the bright sunshine.Hu: A Pannonhalma Archabbey látogatása megtette a hatását: ahogy Réka mondta, a fontos az, hogy az ember a saját útját járja.En: The visit to the Pannonhalma Archabbey had its effect: as Réka said, the important thing is to walk your own path.Hu: Bence most érezte, hogy kész kalandra indulni, még ha nem is látja előre a teljes utat.En: Bence now felt ready to embark on an adventure, even if he couldn't see the entire path ahead.Hu: A bejáratnál még utoljára visszanézett a márványfalakra, és tudta, hogy minden a legjobb úton halad.En: At the entrance, he looked back one last time at the marble walls, knowing that everything was moving in the best direction.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jordan Peterson, Ph.D., psychologist, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, best-selling author, and prominent online educator. We discuss the biology of human emotions and motivations, healthy versus destructive impulses, addictions, and generative drives. Topics include how brain states shape decision-making—for better or worse—and how religion and culture can guide us toward and through the best paths in life. We also explore the innate human drive to create "impact at a distance" and how it influences social interactions, educational pursuits, career choices, and relationships. Additional subjects include morality, social media, politics, the human appetite for drama, and the importance of embracing responsibility as a form of adventure to avoid wasting time. Listeners will gain practical knowledge from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and religion. Read the full show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode of Creedal, we discuss what the Incarnation reveals about human dignity and apply those lessons to the ongoing debate about assisted suicide in the UK. Zac provides a detailed overview of the proposed legislation on assisted suicide, arguing against it from both moral and policy perspectives, and highlighting the dangers of framing such issues in a misleading way. In this conversation, Zac discusses the complex issues surrounding assisted dying legislation, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of dignity, autonomy, and the healthcare system. He critiques the slippery slope of assisted suicide laws, highlighting the potential for abuse and the importance of palliative care. Zac argues for the necessity of hope in end-of-life decisions and the ethical responsibilities of healthcare providers. Takeaways Mass hysteria reflects humanity's chronic existential anxiety. Advent serves as a reminder to place hope in Jesus. The incarnation elevates human dignity and opens possibilities for eternal life. Assisted suicide is currently being debated in the UK Parliament. The UK has a long-standing prohibition against assisted suicide since 1961. The recent second reading of the bill indicates majority support in Parliament. Assisted suicide raises significant moral and practical concerns. Public support for assisted dying is often framed misleadingly. Dignity in dying is a term used to garner support for assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is always a bad idea from both moral and policy standpoints. A lack of autonomy does not diminish dignity. Canada's assisted suicide statistics are alarming. Coercion can be implicit in decisions about assisted suicide. Palliative care should be prioritized over assisted suicide. Hope is essential in discussions about end-of-life care. Sound Bites "Our ultimate hope lies in Jesus Christ." "Mass hysteria is a feature of humanity." "Advent is a time to reassess our hope." "This is a giant sea change for the UK." "Assisted suicide is always a problem." "Assisted suicide is bad policy." "We have a broken healthcare system." "Autonomy does not change your dignity."

From the minute we bring a tiny kitten into our homes, we know our days with them are numbered. Their lives are so much shorter than ours and someday, we will all face that moment of decision: should I keep treating my sick cat, or should I let him go? Is he happy or is he suffering? If kitty is very sick and we know he's at end of life, do we let nature take its course at home or do we help with euthanasia? How do we know when it's time to help?

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to talk with Amy Lanksy, author of the amazing book, Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy. I found Amy's book to be incredibly powerful in understanding the potential of homeopathy, as well as understanding how it works and the history of the rise and fall of its use and popularity.   Amy Lansky graduated from the University of Rochester in 1977 with degrees in mathematics and computer science, and she received her doctorate in computer science from Stanford University in 1983. After many years working at various Silicon Valley research institutions (including SRI International, NASA Ames Research Center, and three years as a consulting associate professor at Stanford), Lansky made an unusual career move: she became a student, writer and promoter of homeopathic medicine. This was prompted by the miraculous cure of her son's autism with homeopathy.   Our conversation covers the foundational principles of homeopathy, its impact on health, and its applications beyond humans to plants and animals. We also discuss the history and challenges of homeopathy, its scientific basis, and its perception in modern medicine.   We explore consciousness and synchronicity, inviting you to explore unconventional healing modalities.   Visit https://www.amylansky.com to learn more about Amy's work and her upcoming book.   This episode is an invitation to broaden your perspective on health and wellness, offering insights into a gentle yet radical form of treatment.   00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Homeopathy 01:01 Guest Introduction: Amy Lansky 02:33 Amy Lansky's Journey into Homeopathy 04:34 The Miraculous Cure of Autism 13:15 Understanding Homeopathy 17:15 The Science Behind Homeopathy 23:35 Homeopathy in Practice 27:47 Historical Context and Challenges 32:10 The Rise of Homeopathy in the 70s 32:53 Personal Experiences with Homeopathy 33:53 Shifting Perspectives and New Beginnings 34:59 Exploring Active Consciousness 35:32 Theories on Higher Dimensionality 36:56 Synchronicities and Psychic Phenomena 40:20 Healing Modalities and Energy Bodies 42:34 The Power of Remedies and Therapies 48:17 Synchronicities and Life Decisions 54:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Read Amy's books: Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy https://amzn.to/3U5XOZI Active Consciousness: Awakening the Power Within https://amzn.to/4f4z3Ft
