Seeing atomic scale interactions in real time may sound like science fiction, but operando TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) has made it science fact. Unlike traditional TEM, which looks at static samples, operando TEM enables scientists to watch materials evolve dynamically while they undergo reactions. In this episode, we sit down with Patricia Kooyman, a professor at the University of Cape Town, to explore the science behind this technique as well as her unique history with it. This episode is sponsored by Momentum Transfer. They have an upcoming Powder Diffraction workshop at Politecnico di Bari in Italy. This 3 day workshop runs from September 29th to October 1st, 2025.

Indian philosophy and the search for unityIn our everyday lives we act as though we are all separate individuals, but is this really the case? Jessica Frazer argues that reality is ultimately unified, and that this shift in perspective can change the way we live our lives. It can help you lose your isolated ego and escape feelings of alienation from nature and the universe. You can start to see that you are living out a strange, larger pattern of mysterious provenance and immense creative power that's generating everything you've ever seen.Jessica Frazier is a professor of theology and religion at Trinity College, Oxford, as well as a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hindu studies. During her academic career, she has explored key philosophical themes across various cultures, ranging from Indian concepts of 'Being' to 20th century phenomenology. In addition, Frazier is the founding editor of the 'Journal of Hindu Studies' and a frequent contributor to BBC radio.Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the real work of leadership wasn't about climbing higher, but going deeper into the soul, the body, and the sacred responsibility of showing up fully alive? In this soul-stirring conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Nathanael Chawkin for a deep dive into the sacred masculine, conscious leadership, and the power of integration. From personal initiations through plant medicine to the spiritual responsibility of leading in the modern world, this episode explores what it means to live a wholehearted, embodied life. Nathanael shares insights from his work guiding men through transformational rites of passage, and challenges the performative narratives of power and success. They also reflect on the rise of conscious capitalism, the illusion of enlightenment, and the true crucibles of growth—like marriage, fatherhood, and leadership itself.  In this episode, Darius and Nathanael will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Background (02:57) The Journey of Fatherhood (05:30) Exploring Masculinity and Leadership (08:34) The Role of Plant Medicine in Personal Growth (11:29) Integration and Spiritual Development (14:11) Personal Experiences with Plant Medicine (24:57) Exploring Plant Medicines and Spiritual Experiences (30:13) The Shift from Materialism to Conscious Leadership (36:56) Conscious Capitalism and the Role of Guardianship (42:46) Integrating Spirituality and Material Life (50:23) The Pathways of Development in Leadership Nathanael Chawkin is a modern mystic, master coach, and martial arts instructor with over 15 years of experience guiding executives and leaders through transformational growth.

For five hundred years, scientists as credible as Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Freud chipped away at the scientific existence of God. So, by the beginning of the 20th century, Nietzsche was able to announce the death of God. A century later, however, modern science is now resurrecting God. That, at least, is the suggestion of Michel-Yves Bollore, the co-author of Europe's latest publishing sensation, GOD The Science The Evidence. It's a post Einsteinian science, Bollore and his co-author Olivier Bonnassies contend, which has enabled this kind of scientific Easter. With endorsements from Nobel Prize winners and over 400,000 copies sold across Europe, their controversial thesis argues that seven independent lines of evidence—from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics—point toward an absolute beginning of the universe, making materialism, in their words, 'an irrational belief' in the 21st century.1. The Historical Reversal For 400+ years (Galileo to Darwin to Freud), scientific discoveries seemed to eliminate the need for God. But since 1900, Bollore argues, every major discovery points in the opposite direction—toward the necessity of a creator.2. Seven Lines of Evidence for Absolute Beginning The authors present seven independent scientific arguments (thermodynamics, universe expansion, quantum mechanics, mathematics) that the universe had an absolute beginning—which they argue requires a creator, since "from nothing, nothing can come."3. The Multiverse Dilemma Materialism's only escape is the multiverse theory, but recent discoveries (2003) show infinite series of universes are impossible. This forces materialists into increasingly complex explanations while the "God hypothesis" remains simpler.4. Fine-Tuning as Evidence The universe's parameters are so precisely calibrated (down to the 15th decimal place for expansion speed) that tiny changes would prevent existence itself—suggesting intentional design rather than chance.5. Philosophical Not Religious The book deliberately avoids religious questions (who is God, what does God want) and focuses purely on whether scientific evidence supports the existence of a creator—making it accessible across different faiths and culturesKeen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Is intelligent design a viable scientific theory? Why do some still insist on calling it pseudoscience? Maybe you're wondering these things yourself, or have a friend, family member, or co-worker who has these types of questions. On this ID The Future, scientist and attorney Dr. Casey Luskin and his wife, chemistry teacher Kristin Marais, explain how a materialistic worldview causes many scientists and science communicators to lose the plot and forget what science is all about. This is the first half of a conversation with host Daniel Ray on the Apologetics Profile podcast. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Source

It's been five years since I first called myself a minimalist. A lot has changed since then: my work, my family, and how I see the world. In this episode, I reflect on why I still choose minimalism, even when life gets messy, why it remains one of the most powerful tools I have to keep things simple, and how one simple question continues to keep me grounded in what matters most.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Most people in our culture do not believe in the supernatural. The worldviews offered by Naturalism and Materialism suggest that physical matter is all there is or ever will be. Others have an unhealthy obsession in the mystical or spiritual forces. In Ephesians 6, Paul addressed the reality of spiritual forces and encouraged believers to fight with God's armor. Join us as we continue our study through Ephesians called Together In Christ.

Now, some of you may be a little too sanctified for what you are about to hear.  I began to reflect on the mindset of our culture today, where songs are often about materialism, shine, and bling. Unfortunately, we don't hear many songs, including gospel songs, that exalt the truth that no material item can satisfy us beyond the flesh or that looking down on another because you're up should not be satisfying.Song: Be For Real by Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes featuring Teddy Pendergrass.www.BibleDeliverance.org

# Miracles and Messages: Understanding Divine Communication In the fifth week of our "Miracles" series, we delve into the profound spiritual dimensions that challenge the materialistic view of the world. We explore the concept of "thin places," where God's divine presence breaks through, affirming the reality of a spiritual realm governed by His sovereignty. However, these encounters come with a caveat: God's actions may not always align with our desires, yet they are always for our good and His glory. ## **Daniel 5: The Handwriting on the Wall** The sermon centers around the story from **Daniel 5**, where King Belshazzar witnesses a miraculous event—a divine hand writing on the wall. This event serves as a confirmation of God's previous warning through Nebuchadnezzar, emphasizing that God's messages are consistent and align with His revealed truth. ### Key Themes - **Spiritual Reality vs. Materialism:** - In a world that often prioritizes the material, the sermon reminds us that our faith calls us to recognize and seek the spiritual dimensions where God operates. - **God's Consistency:** - The miracles we read about in Scripture, like the handwriting on the wall, consistently reinforce God's truth and character. - **Isaiah 55:8-9** reminds us that God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours, urging us to trust Him even when His actions seem contrary to our desires. - **Testing the Spirits:** - When seeking divine guidance, not every message we encounter comes from God. The sermon advises testing these messages against Scripture to discern their origin. - **1 John 4:1** instructs believers to "test the spirits" to ensure they align with God's revealed truth. - **The Role of Faith:** - Faith is pivotal, especially when God's guidance leads us into discomfort or sacrifice. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace exemplifies unwavering faith—they trusted God regardless of the outcome. ### Lessons from Belshazzar's Downfall - **Arrogance and Disrespect:** - Belshazzar's downfall was precipitated by his arrogance and disrespect for God's holiness, as he desecrated sacred temple artifacts. - **Consequences of Ignoring God's Warnings:** - Despite knowing Nebuchadnezzar's story, Belshazzar failed to heed the warnings, resulting in his kingdom's downfall. - The sermon underscores the importance of learning from past divine messages and aligning our actions with God's will. ### Practical Application - **Be a Student of the Word:** - To discern God's messages, immerse yourself in Scripture. Knowing God's Word is essential to understanding His guidance and resisting deceptive messages. - **Seek Godly Counsel:** - Like Daniel, seek wisdom from those who walk closely with God, as they can provide clarity and insight into God's messages. ### Conclusion Ultimately, the sermon calls us to trust in God's consistent character and His plans, which may not always align with our own but are always for our ultimate good. By living in alignment with His Word and seeking His presence in the thin places, we can navigate the challenges of life with faith and confidence in His divine purpose. --- For further reflection, consider reading **Daniel 5** and **1 John 4:1** to deepen your understanding of the themes discussed in this sermon.

"Judgment upon Materialism" James 5:1–6

In this episode, Alyson and Breht explore Friedrich Engels' Dialectics of Nature, a bold and underappreciated attempt to apply dialectical materialism to the natural sciences. Often dismissed or misunderstood, this unfinished work offers a sweeping view of reality - from physics and chemistry to evolution, human consciousness, and ecological breakdown - through the lens of Marxist philosophy. Together, they unpack Engels' central claim that nature itself unfolds dialectically: through contradiction, motion, transformation, and interconnection. They cover the three laws of dialectics, Engels' materialist account of human evolution, his critique of mechanistic science, vulgar materialism, and metaphysical thinking, as well as his early warnings about capitalism's ecological consequences. Along the way, they connect these insights to Marx's concept of species-being, and reflect on what this revolutionary worldview offers in the age of climate crisis, hyper-alienation, and late capitalist decay. Finally, Alyson and Breht have a fascinating open-ended discussion about the existential and spiritual implications of dialectical materialism as a worldview. Whether you're new to dialectical materialism or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation reframes Engels' work as a profound contribution not just to Marxism, but to the philosophy of science itself. Here are the episodes recommended for further listening in the episode: Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 - Karl Marx On Contradiction - Mao Marxism 101: Intro to Historical Materialism (and the Necessity of Socialism) The Nature of All Things: Spinoza's Philosophical Odyssey All Dialectic Deep Dive Episodes ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio: https://revleftradio.com/

Is the soul a myth? Does your mind really just boil down to brain function? On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid speaks with journalist Denyse O'Leary about surprising findings out of neuroscience that shatter materialist assumptions. O'Leary is co-author with Dr. Michael Egnor of The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon's Case for the Existence of the Soul. In this conversation, O'Leary reports on recent findings about the origin of consciousness, the challenge that near-death experiences present to materialism, and why the only way to move past materialism is to reject it fully as a model.

What if a single, solid piece of gold could teach us about unity? Explore the profound symbolism of the menorah in Parshas Beha'aloscha and discover how its intricate design serves as a metaphor for the unity and diversity within the Jewish people. We'll weave insights from the Midrash, Rashi, and the teachings of the Arizal to show how the menorah represents a harmonious blend of different tribes and customs, all focused towards the central light, symbolizing the Almighty. The episode offers a rich tapestry of tradition and faith, highlighting the importance of uniformity and equality, especially during Hanukkah.Imagine a world where materialism is mastered, not the master.

What if a single, solid piece of gold could teach us about unity? Explore the profound symbolism of the menorah in Parshas Beha'aloscha and discover how its intricate design serves as a metaphor for the unity and diversity within the Jewish people.

The episode offers a rich tapestry of tradition and faith, highlighting the importance of uniformity and equality, especially during Hanukkah.Imagine a world where materialism is mastered, not the master.

Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, neuropsychiatrist and author of "The ESP Enigma," joins me for a mind-bending exploration of consciousness, savant abilities, and the limitations of materialist science. Trained at Johns Hopkins under a neurologist-turned-psychiatrist, Diane has spent decades investigating phenomena that challenge our fundamental assumptions about how the brain works. We dive deep into why the scientific establishment reacts so emotionally to consciousness research, her fascinating work with autistic savants, and why she believes the brain functions as a navigation tool for consciousness rather than its creator. This is one of those conversations that might just upgrade your entire worldview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Critics call it creationism in a cheap tuxedo. Some think is merely religion masquerading as a pseudo-scientific theory, but many others believe it to be a viable scientific theory that should be taken seriously. So what exactly is the theory of Intelligent Design (ID)? This week and next on the Profile, we'll explore the answer to that question with two very knowledgeable proponents of ID, Dr. Casey Luskin and his wife Kristin Marais from Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington. Casey Luskin is a scientist and an attorney with graduate degrees in science and law, giving him expertise in both the scientific and legal dimensions of the debate over evolution. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Johannesburg He earned a law degree from the University of San Diego. His B.S. and M.S. degrees in Earth Sciences are from the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Luskin has been a California-licensed attorney since 2005, practicing primarily in the area of evolution-education in public schools and defending academic freedom for scientists who face discrimination because of their support for intelligent design (ID). https://www.discovery.org/p/luskin/Kristin Marais has roughly 15 years of educational experience spanning the traditional building classroom, online classroom, curriculum development, and tutoring. She graduated from the University of California Riverside with a BS in biochemistry and then completed a MS in Teaching through Western Washington University.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Bobby Bosler recounts the recent cross-country move that marked a major transition into the pastorate—and the spiritual insights it sparked. With everything his family owned packed into a single trailer, he reflects on Jesus' words in Matthew 6 about treasure, focus, and true devotion. This convicting challenge invites listeners to evaluate what they're living for and whether their heart is fully invested in heaven.Topics DiscussedTransition to pastoral ministry in Fairmont, WVThe tangible feeling of having all possessions in one trailerMatthew 6:19–24 and the call to lay up treasure in heavenWhat a “single eye” means—and why it mattersIdentifying the pull of materialism and earthly desiresA warning against divided loyalties and serving two mastersThe call to total surrender and singular devotion to ChristKey TakeawaysWhere your treasure is, your heart will inevitably follow—so store it where it's safe.What you focus on shapes every area of your life.A divided focus will always lead to spiritual darkness and dissatisfaction.We can't serve both God and material desires; we must choose our master.A single-minded life requires surrender—and the sustaining grace of God.

Is your mind more than just your brain? Does the soul actually exist? These questions have been pondered for millennia. What does the latest scientific research suggest? On this ID The Future, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor begins a conversation with host Andrew McDiarmid about his new book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon's Case for the Existence of the Soul. Egnor makes a powerful case that our capacity for thought, reason, and free will points to something beyond mere brain function. After defining important terms, Egnor begins exploring the compelling evidence he has gathered across four decades of practice in neurosurgery. Along the way, Dr. Egnor also boldly challenges the Darwinian view of the mind's evolution, arguing that abstract thought and free will are immaterial and could not have arisen through natural selection. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source
