In this episode I am once again joined by Leigh Brasington, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of “Right Concentration, A Practical Guide to the Jhanas”. This episode begins with a brief comment from Leigh about his appearance in “Ep329: Enlightened Politics” in which he explored the relationship between Buddhism and political ideology. After that we discuss Leigh's new book “On the Way to the Far Shore”, his commentary on the Pārāyanavagga, chapter five of Suttanipāta, one of the earliest sutta collections in the Pali canon. The text takes the form of a question and answer session with the Buddha himself and evidences nascent forms of the doctrines of the four noble truths and the path of gradual training. Leigh considers the pros and cons of formal study of the Pali language, explains the ways in which English translations can be misleading, and muses on why so few Buddhist converts read their own scriptures. Leigh also reveals how his Dzogchen practice helped him understand early Buddhist doctrine, gives advice about how to internalise intellectual ideas through meditation practice, and shares how a profound experience of the nature of mind changed his life forever. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Can there be an enlightened tyrant? 02:49 - Anyone can perform enlightened activity 04:20 - Why Leigh wrote On the Way to the Far Shore 08:13 - Wrestling with the Pali sutta 09:07 - Leigh's training the the Pali language 11:18 - Struggles to learn foreign languages 12:37 - Is training as a scholar worth it? 14:36 - 4 categories of Pali suttas 17:05 - Why Leigh won't pursue a PhD 19:17 - Why don't Buddhists read the Pali canon? 23:14 - Diving into the the Pārāyanavagga, book five of the Suttanipāta 27:50 - Vedanā and āsava - don't believe the English translations 29:44 - Literal vs meaning translations + implications of grammar 33:40 - Q&A with the Buddha 36:20 - Questions the Buddha refuses to answer 37:46 - Experiencing the world raw 42:27 - The most important insight 44:22 - How to really gain insight 45:24 - Leigh's Dzogchen practice 46:14 - Leigh's mind blowing experience of the nature of mind 51:28 - After effects of Leigh's epiphany 53:56 - Integrating vs losing an insight 55:04 - How to keep an insight fresh 56:31 - How to regard the world so you are not seen by the King of Death 59:17 - How to become “ever mindful” 01:01:30 - This is a different kind of book 01:02:41 - The roots of the Four Noble Truths and the gradual training 01:05:13 - Will Leigh start a Pali sutta discussion group? 01:07:14 - Man in the Light of History of Religion 01:10:02 - Scripture as literature or an instruction manual? 01:12:32 - Leigh's advice for approaching difficult books 01:13:46 - What do the suttas say about the brahmavihārās? … Previous episodes with Leigh Brasington: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=brasington To find our more about Leigh Brasington visit: - http://www.leighb.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

A quick story from an ABA clinic about a student checking the floor to see if the “down” internet had literally fallen down. This Misfit Minute is a reminder that language is not always interpreted the way we expect, especially for students who process communication very literally.Key Takeaways• Literal language can create confusion—Common phrases may not mean what we think they mean to every learner• Everyday expressions are learned skills—Sarcasm, metaphors, and slang often need direct teaching• Clarity matters—Sometimes clearer language reduces frustration and misunderstandings• “Extra support” may just be clearer communication—Simple wording can make a huge difference• Think about your audience—Different learners process language differently• Everyday moments create teaching opportunities—Small interactions can build long-term communication understanding• Communication goes both ways—Sometimes we need to adjust our language, not just expectationsResources• Another fun story here about sensory overload → https://abainschool.com/mm27• And a cute story about how a puppy taught us a lesson → https://abainschool.com/mm26Join Us• Join the Misfit Behaviorists Facebook group → https://abainschool.com/misfits• Subscribe for more real-life ABA and special education stories• Share your own “that time I learned…” moments with usJoin the Facebook group for collaboration and freebies: The Misfit Behaviorists

Norah is visiting Tucson this week, so she has stopped by the studio to procure some Mango affection (via bribery) and make an appearance on the podcast! They were planning on doing a different word initially, but they are keeping it in the same wheelhouse to make a distinction between the two words—often used as synonyms. After a quick introduction where Ben talks about the game review code he received for the recent port of the N64 game Glover, Norah and Ben discuss their thoughts on the differences between retro and vintage, antique and vintage collections or items, and educational techniques that aren't keeping pace with technological advancements.

The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman VERY FAMILIAR STORY -   *TIED TO MY NOTES TODAY   THE BUILD UP and DEMISE OF ISRAEL    THE PEOPLE WANTED A MAN OVER GOD (They wanted a King)… Here is an old quote: when more than one votes… you can assure its the wrong decision. It wasn't a King that was truly the problem -  BUT RATHER following a man, that was the problem. It was the peoples desire to follow a King over a prophet who followed God.      ***No one voted a prophet in.         ****People choose a King, God chooses a prophet.    Saul offers false sacrifices Saul chooses to disobey Gods orders to wipe out the Amakalites  Saul becomes erratic and tormented by demonic spirits  Saul now operates out of fear  *Israel and the army now saw their enemies the way their leader did - IN FEAR.   The battle of David and Goliath was never really about David and Goliath. It was the culmination of Israel's spiritual decline under Saul, and the first visible sign that God had already been at work preparing a different kind of leader — one after His own heart.       1 Samuel 17 41 Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him, 42 sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 43 “Am I a dog,” he roared at David, “that you come at me with a stick?” And he cursed David by the names of his gods. 44 “Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!” Goliath yelled. 45 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! 47 And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us!”     David's arrival on the battlefield was jarring precisely because of the contrast. He was young, unarmored, and inexperienced — but he carried something the entire army had lost: a reference point for who God was.         David doesn't call out the enemy, he calls out his tactics… His weapons of choice.  WHY?      In 1 Samuel 17:45, David identifies a three-fold physical threat.  In John 10:10, Jesus identifies a three-fold spiritual threat. They map onto each other in a way that shows how the enemy operates:   | Goliath's Arsenal (1 Samuel 17:45) | The Thief's Mission (John 10:10) | The Spiritual Parallel    -  The Sword.  |  To Steal   | Goliath relied on his sword to strip Israel of their land, their freedom, and their identity. The enemy wants to rob you of your peace and purpose.    The Spear.  |   To Kill | A spear is designed for a direct, fatal strike. Goliath's   Literal goal was to end David's life; the thief's goal is total spiritual death.   The Javelin   |   To Destroy   |  A javelin is thrown from a distance, bringing unexpected, widespread ruin. The enemy aims for complete devastation of your life and relationships.    The Core Contrast: Flesh vs. Spirit The real tie-in between these two passages is the **source of victory** that both David and Jesus point to. Both stories set up a stark contrast between reliance on worldly power and reliance on divine power.    * **David's Answer:** Right after naming Goliath's weapons, David says, *"But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts."* He acknowledges the physical threat but completely bypasses it by relying on God's authority.    * **Jesus' Answer:** Right after naming the thief's three-fold threat, Jesus says, *"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."*     Bears and Lions can't call you out. They can't mock you, cast verbal jabs and doubt at you.      Historical Context His defiance of Israel's armies was also a taunt against their God. Your problems, issues, fears, is a taunt against God!   Goliath's relys on human technology, political position and physical power.   David invokes God's character and power, not his own resources. This echoes the idea that God's name represents His active intervention (similar to Exodus 3 or the Psalms).     It wasn't the weapon David had it was the Worship.  Slingers were common;   -  Tribe of Benjamin 700 warriors ambidextrous        -    Sling a stone up to 95 MPH              -   At over 200 yards…  They were so confident they would inscribe words on their stones… MINE WOULD BE “ROCK ON”      David contrasts Goliath's weapons with the invisible but superior heavenly host. This title appears frequently in prophetic books but here underscores early recognition of God's military sovereignty. "Whom you have defied [cheraf-ta]": The verb charaf means to reproach, taunt, or blaspheme. Goliath's challenge is personal against Israel's God, making this a theological battle, not just military. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE A THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM…  i.e. Your problems are a “who is your God Problem”       Do you know who my father is?   - a. No   - b. Yes and I don't care   - c. Yes and I will leave you alone BUT WHAT IF THE QUESTION WAS THIS IN THAT SITUATION… “I wonder who my father is?”     Jehovah Jireh (יְהוָה יִרְאֶה) "The LORD will provide" — revealed when God provided a ram as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. Genesis 22:14. Jehovah Rapha (יְהוָה רָפָא) "The LORD who heals" — revealed after God sweetened the bitter waters of Marah for Israel in the wilderness. Exodus 15:26. Covers physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Jehovah Nissi (יְהוָה נִסִּי) "The LORD is my banner" — declared by Moses after Israel's victory over the Amalekites. A banner was a military standard — the rallying point in battle. Exodus 17:15. God Himself is the flag Israel fights under. Jehovah Shalom (יְהוָה שָׁלוֹם) "The LORD is peace" — spoken by Gideon after encountering the angel of the Lord and fearing he would die. Shalom is not just the absence of conflict but wholeness, completeness, and flourishing. Judges 6:24. Jehovah Rohi (יְהוָה רֹעִי) "The LORD is my shepherd" — the opening of Psalm 23. One of the most intimate names — depicting God as the one who leads, feeds, protects, and restores. Jehovah Tsidkenu (יְהוָה צִדְקֵנוּ) "The LORD our righteousness" — a prophetic name pointing to the coming Messiah who would be the righteousness of His people. Jeremiah 23:6. Deeply connected to the New Testament doctrine of justification. Jehovah Shammah (יְהוָה שָׁמָּה) "The LORD is there" — the name given to the restored Jerusalem in Ezekiel's vision. Ezekiel 48:35. God's presence dwelling permanently with His people — echoed in Revelation 21 with the New Jerusalem. Jehovah Sabaoth (יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת) "The LORD of Hosts" or "The LORD of Armies" — one of the most frequently used names in the prophets. It pictures God as the commander of vast heavenly armies. Used powerfully in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Malachi. Jehovah Mekoddishkem (יְהוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם) "The LORD who sanctifies you" — Exodus 31:13. God as the one who sets His people apart and makes them holy. Sanctification as His work, not ours alone. Jehovah Gmolah (יְהוָה גְּמֻלּוֹת) "The LORD of recompense" or "The God of vengeance" — Jeremiah 51:56. God as the one who repays — both in justice against enemies and in vindication of His people.   The Compound El Names El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדַּי) "God Almighty" or literally "God of the mountains" or "the all-sufficient one." First used with Abraham in Genesis 17:1 when God renewed His covenant. It speaks of God's absolute sufficiency — He is enough for every need. El Elyon (אֵל עֶלְיוֹן) "God Most High" — used by Melchizedek blessing Abraham in Genesis 14. It emphasizes God's supremacy above all other powers, rulers, and so-called gods. El Olam (אֵל עוֹלָם) "The Everlasting God" or "God of eternity" — Genesis 21:33. He has no beginning and no end. Time exists within Him, not the other way around. El Roi (אֵל רֳאִי) "The God who sees me" — spoken by Hagar in the wilderness after she fled from Sarah. Genesis 16:13. One of the most tender names — God seeing the forgotten, the marginalized, the one who thinks they are invisible. El Gibhor (אֵל גִּבּוֹר) "Mighty God" — Isaiah 9:6, in the famous messianic prophecy. One of the titles given to the coming Messiah — pointing directly to Christ. El Hannun (אֵל חַנּוּן) "The gracious God" — Nehemiah 9:31. God whose grace prevents Him from completely destroying even a rebellious people.   New Testament  Abba (אַבָּא) "Father" — an Aramaic term of deep intimacy, closer to "Daddy" than formal address. Jesus used it in Gethsemane. Paul says believers are given the Spirit of adoption by which they cry "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15. Emmanuel (עִמָּנוּאֵל) "God with us" — Isaiah 7:14, fulfilled in Matthew 1:23 with the birth of Jesus. Perhaps the most staggering name of all — the eternal God choosing to be with humanity in flesh.     Why This Matters Each name was not invented by theologians — it was revealed in a moment.  God didn't introduce Himself as Jehovah Rapha in a lecture. He revealed it when Israel was thirsty and the water was bitter. He revealed Jehovah Jireh when a father was about to lose his son on an altar. The pattern is consistent throughout Scripture: Every name of God was born out of a human crisis that God personally entered. That means the names are not just theological categories — they are a record of God showing up. And for anyone studying or teaching these names, the invitation is not just to know them but to discover which name corresponds to the specific place of need you are standing in right now.       Lets end on this:  1 Sam. 17:40 40 He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd's bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. WHY FIVE STONES? Because Goliath had 4 brothers!  Ishbi-Benob, Saph, Lahmi AND SIX FINGER FRANK     …THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GIANTS… But who is your God? He is the one who crushed satans head and gives us the victory!    CALL ON HIS NAME AND HE SHALL ANSWER.

So, Fox News just interviewed a talking head and it looks...weird. Am I taking crazy pills or is that TV talking head wearing a face mask? Or maybe they just want us to believe we're taking crazy pills. Or maybe this is the beginning of the deepfake post-truth reality in which we believe nothing and are divided and conquered?

TDAgiantslayer@Gmail.com The David Alliance  Garth Heckman The battle of David and Goliath was never really about David and Goliath. It was the culmination of Israel's spiritual decline under Saul, and the first visible sign that God had already been at work preparing a different kind of leader — one after His own heart.       1 Samuel 17 41 Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him, 42 sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 43 “Am I a dog,” he roared at David, “that you come at me with a stick?” And he cursed David by the names of his gods. 44 “Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!” Goliath yelled. 45 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! 47 And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us!”     David's arrival on the battlefield was jarring precisely because of the contrast. He was young, unarmored, and inexperienced — but he carried something the entire army had lost: a reference point for who God was.         David doesn't call out the enemy, he calls out his tactics… His weapons of choice.  WHY?      In 1 Samuel 17:45, David identifies a three-fold physical threat.  In John 10:10, Jesus identifies a three-fold spiritual threat. They map onto each other in a way that shows how the enemy operates:   | Goliath's Arsenal (1 Samuel 17:45) | The Thief's Mission (John 10:10) | The Spiritual Parallel    -  The Sword.  |  To Steal   | Goliath relied on his sword to strip Israel of their land, their freedom, and their identity. The enemy wants to rob you of your peace and purpose.    The Spear.  |   To Kill | A spear is designed for a direct, fatal strike. Goliath's   Literal goal was to end David's life; the thief's goal is total spiritual death.   The Javelin   |   To Destroy   |  A javelin is thrown from a distance, bringing unexpected, widespread ruin. The enemy aims for complete devastation of your life and relationships.    The Core Contrast: Flesh vs. Spirit The real tie-in between these two passages is the **source of victory** that both David and Jesus point to. Both stories set up a stark contrast between reliance on worldly power and reliance on divine power.    * **David's Answer:** Right after naming Goliath's weapons, David says, *"But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts."* He acknowledges the physical threat but completely bypasses it by relying on God's authority.    * **Jesus' Answer:** Right after naming the thief's three-fold threat, Jesus says, *"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."*

Cardon Ellis and Luke Hansen dive deep into three powerful doctrines from the earliest Christian church that Joseph Smith restored—doctrines largely abandoned or reinterpreted by mainstream Christianity today.Using scriptures, early Church Fathers' writings, and the book Restoring the Ancient Church by Barry Robert Bickmore, they explore:The future coming of Elias (Elijah) as a forerunner before the Second ComingThe literal 1,000-year millennial reign of Christ on earthCreation ex materia (out of existing matter) vs. the later doctrine of creation ex nihilo (out of nothing)This episode shows how Joseph Smith aligned with ancient Christianity on these key points, often against later theological developments like Neoplatonism and the Trinity. Packed with scripture breakdowns, historical quotes, and thoughtful discussion—perfect for Latter-day Saints, students of church history, and anyone interested in the Restoration.#LatterDaySaints #JosephSmith #EarlyChristianity #Restoration #BookOfMormon #Millennium #Elias #CreationExMateria #WardRadio #LDS00:00 Intro & Setup: Three Early Doctrines Restored by Joseph Smith02:10 Why These Doctrines Matter & the Patrick Madrid Challenge03:45 Source: Restoring the Ancient Church by Barry Robert Bickmore05:20 Doctrine 1: The Coming of Elias / Elijah as Forerunner08:40 Biblical Foundations11:15 Early Church Fathers on a Future Coming of Elias14:50 Kirtland Temple Fulfillment & Passover Timing17:30 Doctrine 2: The Literal 1,000-Year Millennial Reign20:10 Early Beliefs vs. Later Spiritualized Interpretations23:45 Papias, Eusebius & the Shift Away from Literal Millennium27:30 Doctrine 3: Creation Ex Materia vs. Creation Ex Nihilo30:45 Historical Origins of Ex Nihilo & Gnostic/Platonic Influences34:20 Why Creation Ex Nihilo is Essential to the Trinity37:10 Joseph Smith's Revelations Aligning with Ancient Christianity39:40 Final ThoughtsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

You were specifically designed with love for love. At your very core is the need for love. As humans, we are in constant pursuit of love. And ultimately, every behavioral issue we ever experience is in some way trying to earn love, experience love, experience love or force love. What messes we create when we fear love is uncertain, conditional, or unavailable to us. This is why as women we seek attention, and often act in ways we're later ashamed of. It's why we are so quick to settle for the scraps of love because some type of love is better than the thought of no love. And this is truly why the enemy attacks so hard in making us feel unloved. Have you ever felt unloved? What did you do in that space of feeling unloved? It wasn't healthy, was it? It was far short of God's best for you, wasn't it. And now you know that was a scheme of the enemy to attack the very thing you are designed in and for … love. You will never not need love. You will never love yourself enough to fill that hole. There's no surgery, no hair extensions, no diet, no new shoes, purse or outfit that will ever make you love you enough to fill your core craving for love. And there's no human who can fill that hole. Oh how they will fall short. Why? Simply because that was never within their design. That man will fall short. Those children will grow up and move on. That best friend will get busy. BUT GOD. This is your BUT GOD moment. But God's love will perfectly fill the hole within you. Why? Because your creator lovingly designed you to need his love, and only his love will ever do. God's love is like the key to the lock that opens the door to the fullness of life you most desire. But if you don't know the measure of God's love for you personally, then you will always feel lacking and unfulfilled. Right here, today, it's time to learn the MEASURE OF GOD'S LOVE. Do you realize that God's love isn't a feeling, it isn't a thought, it isn't a magical state or some future destination. God's love is real and it's measurable. This is why Paul writes in Ephesians 3:18, “May you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.” Literal measurement's of God's love. And Paul says you “May you have the power to understand it!” You see my friends, if you understand the measurement of God's immense love for you, all that striving, all that twisting, all that forcing can end. Every ounce of loneliness, every desire for something more or something different can be quenched in understanding the true measure of God's love for you. How can we understand how wide God's love is? How long God's love is? How high God's love is? How deep God's love is? We look at the cross. The cross where Jesus hung and died, thinking of you and I individually and personally, is the measurement of God's love. May you never ever see the symbol of a cross again without knowing the measure of God's love for you. Looking at the cross, let's look at the 4 measurements. WIDE – The horizontal cross beam. His love is WIDE enough to include everyone. Jesus stretched His arms outward toward sinners, doubters, outsiders, the broken, the religious, and the ashamed. The cross is open-armed love. Jesus extends his invitation of love to every single one of us. No one is too far gone. Absolutely no one is excluded. To the very people killing him, he extended his arms. To the sinners hanging on the cross beside him, he extends his arms. To you and I, he extends his arms. WIDE IS GOD'S LOVE. ⸻ LONG – The long vertical beam . This is not just about physical length, it represents enduring love through all time. His love is LONG enough to outlast your failure, survive every season of life, remain faithful even when you aren't, and continue through every generation. The vertical beam stands like an enduring pillar. ⸻ HIGH – The top reaching upward toward heaven. His love is HIGH enough to lift us. The cross raises us up from shame to identity, from bondage to freedom, from earthly living to eternal purpose. God's love doesn't merely comfort you in your condition — it lifts you up out of it. ⸻ DEEP – The buried portion beneath the ground. The deepest part of the cross is hidden underground. Much of God's greatest work happens beneath the surface. His love is DEEP enough to enter your suffering, descend into grief, reach your hidden shame and rescue you from the pit. Jesus descended into humanity's deepest brokenness. There is no depth your pain can reach where His love cannot go deeper still. The deepest part of the cross is the part nobody sees. ⸻ His love is wide, it's long, it's high and it's deep. The dimensions form a cross… but the cross itself also points in every direction. The cross becomes the measurement of immeasurable love. ⸻ Now, notice this – Paul doesn't say: “May you understand theology.” He says: “May you have power to understand love.” Because love this large cannot be grasped intellectually alone. It must be experienced.This is how wide His love is. This is how long His love lasts. This is how high His love lifts. This is how deep His love reaches.

The Mama's Den podcast is still on tour and guess who is with us!!  Ashley's literal day one, Nalo Wise, of course. This week in the Den, we are running back our conversation with Nalo after she held us down for the first ever Mama's Den live show. Born just days apart and best friends since infancy, Ashley and Nalo have grown up side by side through every stage of life. From childhood memories and teenage growing pains to marriage, motherhood, their bond has endured because of honesty, forgiveness, and a deep commitment to choosing each other again and again. Nothing is off limits in this conversation—including the season when Nalo's husband wasn't exactly Ashley's biggest fan. Together, the Mamas explore what it really takes to maintain decades-long friendships as women and mothers, and why the friendships that know us best can become some of the most important relationships in our lives. If you've ever wondered how some friendships survive changing seasons, shifting priorities, and the demands of motherhood, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that the right friends grow with you. There are three more stops on The Mama's Den tour aka MOM'S NIGHT OUT! Get your tickets.

     If this isn't a total hoax and MindWar-level LIE about the brain cells learning to play Doom, then the possibilities have probably already far surpassed what they are disclosing at present. The missing piece of the puzzle, the realism that comes from human understanding and cognition could be our own brains plugged into the simulation. We would be manufacturing our own most powerful illusion based on our own standards of what reality looks and feels like. The metaverse wouldn't need to attempt to guess. We would be supplying the data ourselves via anticipation. It would simply use our signals against us to make a flawless reality built for One. Each individual would experience their own reality and a shared experience. It would reinforce the realism. It would be the inescapable dream. Even if you mastered your own mind and conquered the illusion, you would still be inside the dream. There's nowhere to go. The mind is cyclical. It turns you right back to the center. Being aware of the false reality is hardly an escape hatch to break free because it's not a physical reality at all. You would only ever be able to accomplish Lucid Dreaming and it would be fleeting.619-431-0334https://vdo.ninja/?room=4roomMy site:https://SemperFryLLC.comJoin Dr. Glidden's Membership site here:https://leavebigpharmabehind.com/?via=pgndhealth⁠Code: baalbusters for 25% OFFUse Code BB5 here for your 90 Essential Nutrients:https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/brand/azurewell/2326The Azure Whole Food Essential Nutrients are 1.

In 2026, they extended this to the game Doom. This "mini-brain" sits on a silicon chip (CL1) that translates game data into electrical signals, allowing the cells to act and interact in real-time."How does one even prove that's not a hoax or fraud? The chip is determining what signals from a lump of lab grown Frankenbrain tissue is signalliing? It doesn't have eyes. It's not receiving any discernable stimuli to react to, and even if it was there's a LOT of liberties being taken by said circuit to translate those reactions into gameplay. Personally I think it's a parlor trick. But I do not think it's insignificant. They're releasing this information to the public for some reason. Could it be they are signalling to our brains rather than the lump of Frankenbrain clusters to convey a much darker purpose for mankind moving forward? Could it be a foreshadowing of our future relationship with computing and Artificial Intelligence? Are we the missing component in making AI more rational, and give it the human quality necessary for convincing illusions in their Metaverse? Will we be used to deceive ourselves?

In this raw, funny and deeply validating episode, Linda breaks down the invisible social rules that neurodivergent women constantly trip over. This is not because we're “wrong,” but because the world communicates in coded language we were never handed the manual for. From “We should meet for coffee” (which often means please leave me alone) to “That's so interesting” (which usually means I'm not interested at all). Linda unpacks the hidden meanings behind everyday phrases and how they impact ADHDers in friendships, business and networking. She also dives into the emotional fallout of being misunderstood, the lack of grace many ADHD women experience post‑diagnosis and the power of gamifying daily routines to create stability and self‑trust. This episode is equal parts truth‑telling, humour and empowerment. A must‑listen for ADHD women, creatives and entrepreneurs.   Be part of an amazing group of people within The Small Steps Accountability Circle https://thehabitboss.com/smallstepscircle Grab tickets to the Take Space Event https://thehabitboss.com/take-space-event   10 Key Takeaways Neurotypical language is coded and ADHDers take things literally “I thought it meant honk if you like pizza… I just like pizza.” Literal interpretation isn't a flaw, it's a different operating system. 2. “We should meet for coffee” is often a polite exit, not an invitation If they don't set the time and date… they don't want to meet you for coffee.” This misunderstanding affects networking, collaborations and client relationships. 3. “We'll see” = No (and ADHD brains prefer direct honesty) “We'll see is usually no… just say no.” Clarity is kindness — especially for neurodivergent people. 4. ADHD women value truth over politeness We're not rude, we're efficient communicators who thrive on transparency. 5. Social cues are confusing, but patterns are obvious “We cannot read social cues… but we can see a pattern a mile off.” ADHD intuition is powerful. 6. Post‑diagnosis, many ADHD women receive less grace, not more “The amount of people who have just given me less grace… unbelievable.” This is a common and painful experience. 7. Masking hides our needs, unmasking reveals who supports us You learn quickly who can hold space for your real self. 8. Emotional safety determines connection If someone repeatedly dismisses your perspective, your nervous system stops trusting them. 9. ADHD opinions are often misinterpreted as criticism Even when you're simply expressing your own preference, people can take it personally. 10. Gamifying routines is a powerful ADHD life hack “I have a reset I do every morning… it takes five or ten minutes.” Small, structured rituals reduce overwhelm and create momentum.

Taxes are one of the most stressful parts of running a therapy practice, and for many business owners, it's not because they're doing something wrong. It's because no one ever taught them how this actually works. In this episode, I'm joined by Haley Literal to break down the most common tax mistakes therapists make and how to avoid them before they cost you thousands. We talk about what to do before you even see your first client, when it makes sense to change your tax strategy, and how to manage taxes when your income isn't consistent. This is a practical, grounded conversation designed to help you feel more in control of your numbers and less reactive when tax season comes around. In this episode, we cover: The first tax steps to take when starting your practice The most common mistakes that lead to overpaying taxes When to stop using DIY tax software When an S Corp actually makes sense How much to set aside for taxes What changes when your business grows Deductions most therapists are missing How to track your finances without overcomplicating it Resources mentioned: Self Employed Taxes Explained (free guide) Book an Call for Tax planning and strategy support Guest Contact Information Connect with Hallee Literal — Tax Professional Incite Tax | Website   **This podcast is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with an appropriate medical professional.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers build shields to protect themselves and discover what happens when those defences fail.Part 1: As a lonely teenager searching for connection, Christopher Moncayo-Torres turns to an unlikely disguise—a giant Clifford costume—in hopes of bridging the gap between himself and the world around him.Part 2: JP Flores has always been the family's “smart kid,” a role that becomes his armor in college—until the pressure of living up to that identity begins to crack.Christopher Moncayo-Torres is an Ecuadorian-American writer, actor, teaching artist and live storyteller, born and bred in Queens, NY, and new-ish to living in LA. Most recently, he performed alongside his Ecuadorian father (yes, really) in "No Sabo", an award-winning, solo-ish show about rekindling their once estranged relationship, despite their language barrier. He's now working on a live-ish cooking show with his mother. He also hosts the monthly storytelling-workshop show, Fail Better Story Time at Studious Coworking Space in LA's Chinatown. More info can be found at www.failbetterarts.com He's an instructor and host for The Moth. He's also a 3x Moth StorySLAM winner who has been featured on The Moth Radio Hour podcast.JP Flores recently completed his PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from UNC Chapel Hill, where he studied how DNA folds in 3D space to control when, where, and why genes turn on. He calls this the origami of gene regulation. Originally from Los Angeles, he's also pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Innovation for the Public Good, blending his love for bridging science and society. He's a HHMI Gilliam Fellow, a podcast host (From Where Does It STEM?, a Spotify Next Wave Award winner), and is passionate about turning science communication into community connection. He is also a co-founder of the nonprofit organization, Science For Good. Outside the lab, JP plays guitar and gigs around North Carolina, and lives with his very opinionated and stubborn wiener dog, Vienna. As a first-gen college student, he's driven to make science more community-centered and for the public good.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 292 - Older Son (Literal Sense) Have you ever felt frustrated, overlooked, or distant, even though you find yourself doing the "right" things? In this episode, the friars dive into the older son in the Prodigal Son story, not symbolically at first, but simply as he is. His words, his reactions, his position in the family. And what starts to emerge is something deeply human: a struggle with comparison, entitlement, and not fully receiving the Father's love. They unpack how easy it is to stay close in proximity but far in relationship and how the older son's experience can quietly mirror our own spiritual lives. Join us as we take an honest look at the older son and allow the Father to meet us right where we are.
