Something about saying yes is always saying no and saying no is always saying yes and who are we saying yes to? Ourselves? Why or why not? And all of that.

In this Mass Prep for the Mystic Heart reflection, we explore the powerful symbolism of John 9, where Jesus heals the man born blind using mud from the earth. What does this strange moment reveal about creation, healing, and spiritual sight?This short mystical reflection looks at how Christ remakes us from the dust, how true vision grows in faith, and why the greatest blindness may be thinking we already see.

ParaTruth: Reborn March 10th, 2026 EP: 84 Saint, Sorcerer, or Symbol? The Hidden Mysticism of St. Patrick St. Patrick's Day isn't just green beer and shamrocks. It's a story of slavery, visions, druids, spiritual warfare, and the myth of driving the “snakes” from Ireland. But what really happened? In this special one-off episode, we explore the man behind the legend — separating fact from folklore — and examine whether St. Patrick was a missionary, mystic, political strategist… or something far more mysterious. Were the snakes literal? Did he confront pagan magicians? Was Ireland's conversion peaceful — or paranormal? Let's uncover the truth behind the shamrock.

Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

Rupert Sheldrake joins us for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with psychedelics and quickly opens into bigger questions. Why do some experiences feel “more real than real”? What happens when the familiar boundaries of self dissolve, and the world returns charged with meaning, beauty, and presence?Along the way Rupert reflects on his own encounters with psychedelics, the long ritual history behind them, and why he thinks they're just one doorway into a much larger landscape. From dreams and near-death experiences to prayer, music, nature and the possibility that mind might not be contained by the brain, this episode doesn't aim to settle the questions so much as to sit inside them — and see what they reveal.Following the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Joy reflect on curiosity, caution and the strange tension between breakthrough moments and slow formation. From therapy and music to dogs, dreams and those hard-to-explain moments of connection, they explore what it might mean to live in creative puzzlement before a world that still feels charged with mystery.Interview starts at 13m 5s.

We are starting a special mini-series featuring Ram Dass and guests from his Satsang on Maui.This episode kicks things off with Kirtan by Uma Reed, as Ram Dass humorously explores the wonder of aging and seeing the entire world as God.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.“Aging is wonderful, all you have to do is stay conscious.” –Ram DassIn this Satsang with Ram Dass, the group talks about:Dealing with pain, injury, illness, and other effects of agingSeeing the body as simply a vehicle for this plane of realityRam Dass's book Still Here and aging with awarenessFocusing on our consciousness rather than concerning ourselves with the body's declineRam Dass's story of seeing Krishna in a police officerPlaying our roles while we are in this worldly plane Karma Yoga and seeing the entire world as GodThis talk was recorded in 2008 at one of Ram Dass' quarterly Sunday Satsang gatherings in Studio Maui. “I'm learning the aging process has to do with the body and my consciousness need not be concerned with my body.

Grief isn't an ending; it's a relationship that changes. Judy Tashbook Safern joins us with a story that stops the clock: cascading surgeries, pneumonia, and a coma that opens into an enveloping light and a felt encounter with God. She returns with a message—“you are necessary”—only to learn that her father, a larger-than-life psychoanalyst and professor who built Jewish community in West Texas, has been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and passes within days. The timeline feels like a switch, a mystery that begs hard questions about fate, faith, and why one life continues while another concludes.We explore the details that make this more than a headline. Judy paints her father through action: freezer trucks of kosher meat hauled across states, hand-typed holiday invitations posted around a university and an Air Force base, and a seven-hour drive to Dallas and back for Passover staples. When she wakes, pain floods back; survivor's guilt arrives fast. Grounded in Jewish mourning practices—shiva, shloshim, and a year of gentler abstentions—she sits shiva alone on a hospital floor, 10,000 miles from her family, learning how ritual can still hold when improvised. She also draws on a lineage tied to Rabbi Isaac Luria to give vocabulary to the inexplicable, without forcing certainty where only awe belongs.What follows is a living bond. Judy senses her father in small joys and sharp wit, at Seders where his annual pilgrimage becomes family lore, and in quiet moments when purpose feels like a vow. The lesson she brought back from the light reframes worth beyond roles—parent, partner, child—while still honoring how love threads those roles with meaning.

When she was 22 years old, she had her first out-of-body experience in adulthood which began a process of journaling which would unleash thousands of out of body travel and mystical experiences over the next decades."

Thank you all !!! About Marilynn: "Marilynn Hughes founded The Out-of-Body Travel Foundation in 2003 (Mission: Reduce Spiritual Hunger Worldwide). Marilynn has experienced, researched, written, and taught about Out of Body Travel and Mysticism since 1987 and has spoken on dozens of radio and television programs to discuss her thousands of out of body experiences. She has studied the Ancient Sacred Texts of all Major and Minor World Religions, as well as Catholic Mystical, Ascetical, Biblical, Doctrinal, Dogmatic, Systematic, Liturgical, Catechetical and Moral Theology. She has also studied Individual Schools of Theology, to include Franciscan, Carmelite, Ignatian, Dominican, and Benedictine. Marilynn has also trained as a Remote Viewer in Transdimensional, Controlled and Associative Remote Viewing and is a Hypnotherapist. She received certifications in various psychological and therapeutic modalities including NLP, REBT, CBT, ACT, DBT, MBCT, EFT, TFT, SFBT and NBA Therapies. Marilynn Hughes has authored 138 books, 40 magazines and 18 CD's on Out of Body Travel and Comparative Religious Mysticism including her seminal classic The Mysteries of the Redemption: A Treatise on Out-of-Body Travel and Mysticism, which was in development to become a feature film/tv series. She was featured in the documentary film, The Road to Armageddon: A Spiritual Documentary, and in Documentary Film Productions: The Grand Phases of the Soul, The Stairway from Earth to Heaven, How to Have an Out-of-Body Experience, The Tao of Mysticism, The Initiations into the Mysteries, The Rites of Passage, The Prayer of the Twelfth Hour and At the Feet of the Masters. She is the author of an English Language Encyclopedia of Ancient Sacred Texts, The Voice of the Prophets: Wisdom of the Ages (In Twelve Volumes). Her out of body travel work has been featured in The Encyclopedia of the Unseen World, by Constance Victoria Briggs and in Extra-Planetary Experiences: Alien Human Contact and the Expansion of Consciousness, (along with Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Ingo Swann) by Dr. Thomas Streicher. KC Armstrong, (Former Producer of the Howard Stern Show), in his book named Marilynn as one of thirteen Simply Amazing Women.

Marilynn Hughes was on the the original board of The Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraordinary Experiences and is a continuing contributor. She came across her vocation unexpectedly. When she was nine years old, she had her first profound out of body experience wherein she saw the heavens open and a beautiful marble staircase surrounded by angels which led to the throne of God. In this experience, she was told many things, among them that He would return to her later in her life and give her a mission to fulfill in relation to out of body travel. When she was 22 years old, she had her first out-of-body experience in adulthood which began a process of journaling which would unleash thousands of out of body travel and mystical experiences over the next decades."

Stefan Molyneux looks at how mysticism, philosophy, and communication overlap, in response to a listener's question about higher powers, emphasizing the use of reason and precise definitions to cut through vagueness in talks about belief. The discussion covers ideas like consciousness, love, and attachment, with him arguing that genuine moral love goes beyond basic instincts. He points out the problems vague terms create in society and pushes for common definitions to improve how people communicate. On dreams, Molyneux sees them as straightforward experiences from life, not as sources of mystical insight. He wraps up by noting the role of clear thinking and rational talk in dealing with complicated aspects of life, and encourages people to express their thoughts with care.Emails:Hello Stefan,Following your most recent, as of today, FDR podcast.(6292). I wanted to hopefully offer you some perspective that may or may not be helpful. As before, I understand that your time is valuable. I do think though that my perspective, linked to IQ and seeing things very differently to you, might be of aid. The reason I have added this onto an existing email is just for familiarity because I will mildly use this backdrop for additional thoughts. I did talk to you briefly on podcast 6147. But I wanted to offer you my thought process here because it might offer you some insight into your value in a way you had not considered. Firstly, what I believe is important background as to my perspective on this entire mysticism thing. I do believe in the existence of something higher and more powerful and that has communicated with us. Certainly, a little through the bible. But mostly not through the bible. There is channeling, including the human design chart, to back this up. So I do believe the new age at its core has some good concepts. BUT, I also believe that there is a huge, and incredibly powerful toxic element of the new age. There is a mix of non complete understandings and such. For this reason, I do think that your perspective and that of many who have similar perspectives is valuable. In that keeping things to objective reality. To challenge said toxicity. There is more to this understanding. But I think that explains the core of my thoughts. People that are truly inclined to the spiritual stuff I look at will find it. But people that don't really commit and use the bare minimum of it to justify madness. It is good that that is challenged. it is similar in some ways, if you imagine a society that has innovators and Socrates following philosophers. The innovators want to do innovating and the Socrates people want nothing to exist or be real or whatever. Even though philosophy as a discipilne is extremely useful and powerful. Some of those innovators might be best served in dismissing it as the ravings of lunatics and just getting on with Innovating. So I want to describe the dream I had that stopped me talking further about mysticism. I fully acknowledge none of this makes sense since I have no following. But it still might offer an interesting perspective. It is of course not likely that if I offered a genuine challenge to your view on that that evildoers would pick it up and run with it. But apparently the dreams thought it was a suitable fear to highlight. So I went with it. My argument on mysticism would be as follows. This is not something I am committed to or care about but it was what I was thinking. It is now the story in something else I want to express. Firstly, your original statement is that mysticism is the gateway to mental illness. Firstly of course, I wrote to you on the definition of mysticism. Which I would use my own after having defined it due to the problems with yours that I highlighted. I would further refine that now by defining a primary and secondary faith. But anyway, per your argument, I would say, if mysticism is a gateway to mental illness. Then that would assume it would not in general, be used to solve mental illness. I would further refine the use of symbolic things to reach understandings. Such as tarot cards. By asking why do we dream. Why does our subconscious communicate in such a way? I would answer this by saying what is the alternative? The alternative being that without the subtlety and indirectness. The subconscious would communicate more like a dictator. Even giving the information without veil would have this effect. Since once we know the right thing to do we have more responsibility and consequences than before we know that. So what does this sound like? This sounds like schizophrenia! I would then talk about how a possible theory for it, is that if the problem gets too serious. If the subconscious mind is screaming too loudly. It busts through the conscious/ subconscious barrier too loudly, and that's where this comes from. (This is roughly what I think happened with my schizophrenic break, some of my ideas come indirectly from the psychologist Elinor Greenberg who talks about how dreams help low level schizophrenics)This would then correlate schizophrenia, and that kind of non objective, symbolic understandings. More with the symptom of other problems than with it being the cause. I would also define mainstream faith based Christianity as mysticism. As per my earlier example. And show times when this has been used to help people. Such as when the Ukraine war used to go a bit crazy women on Gab used to put loads of Christian sayings out. Women cannot biologically deal with war, but they still have fear, so a tool like mysticism to reduce the fear is perhaps highly positive. So now I get to the point. Like I said and strongly believe. It is unlikely evildoers would take such a reasoning as this and run with it to dent your power. But the dreams still responded like this was the case. The dream I had, (I do not like to tell others my dreams I prefer to interpret but I am making an exception here). I was about to make a few youtube videos on this. But I had a dream with Pearl Davis being aggressively tortured. She has mentioned a few times over the years how she has been sued and things. It was a pretty shocking dream. It felt kind of real. But what I think it could mean, is that your platform and output in this kind of social war, was significantly impacting people like Pearl by pushing back on intensely female and active toxicity we are currently witnessing (Taking us back to the point on mysticism and the Socrates philosophers analogy).I realise you might not interpret it the same way. Like, you might believe that all individuals in our dreams are parts of ourselves along a Family Systems therapy line. But I just wanted to provide that feedback in case it does provide some perspective or help in some way. Best Wishes,Joe ---It has been some years since I listened to your last podcast, 'Why animals can't love.' At that point, I quit Molyneaux. It has occurred and re occurred to me that you continued to make consciousness or choice the mandatory when it comes to capacity to love.This thinking backs exactly into a contradiction. We know that infants have neither consciousness nor choice, yet, any parent knows the infant loves. Toddlers are compelled to love, but they love nonetheless. Teenagers, etc. Not only compelled to love, but can be. Of course, Molyneaux would say, 'But that's no real love.' But some of it is. The child still wants to love the parent even when virtue (lack) seeks to negate. Some part of that child does still love. I always believed that your false philosophy on animals and love conditions backed directly into the right, even obligation, to abort children. The threadline of your 'philosophy' justified abortion. Since the infant has no choice or consciousness. He is more animal, less human. The right to kill seems elementary. That's always deeply concerned me that something is off center in your work. Mean spirited. Resentful. Death-loving. A hint of Crowley, even though 98% of your takes are good. I know you made your cash on bitcoin. Congratulations. Make an atheist like yourself proud. Your constant promise that you'd go down as a philosopher great, today and/or in 400 years from now, shows no evidence.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Ryan and Alex journey through the tantric cosmology of Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism, exploring the bardo realms that bridge life and death and the dreamlike illusion of samsara. They reflect on awakening and the realization of nirvana, examining how the mind's psychic projections shape human experience across lifetimes. They also cover the spiritual practices that allow one to see beyond illusion and awaken to a deeper, enduring reality.

Since this podcast is trying to highlight the mystics, it's probably good to talk about what the hell that even means... what are the mystics, what are they saying... what's that even mean? And to be clear, this is a massive question but we have some thoughts. Just thoughts.

John Opsopaus—often known by the name Apollonius—is a scholar, practitioner, and author whose work focuses on Paganism, classical magic, and systems of divination rooted in ancient Greek philosophical and mystical traditions. Opsopaus explores Neoplatonism, theurgy, sacred mathematics, and symbolic ritual practice, examining how ancient magical and divinatory methods were structured as disciplined spiritual sciences. His writings bridge historical scholarship and contemporary practice, presenting Pagan spirituality as an intellectually grounded tradition centered on harmony with cosmic order, ethical self-development, and philosophical understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this episode of the Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson continue their look into suffering, the theology of the cross, and the historical context of mysticism in relation to faith. They explore how suffering is perceived in Christian theology, particularly through the lens of Luther's insights, and discuss the implications of viewing God's suffering as redemptive. The conversation also touches on the challenges of cultural Christianity and the importance of external word in faith, culminating in a critique of Oseander's mystical interpretations.

Ryan and Alex explore the spiritual path introduced by Jesus Christ, not as religious doctrine, but as a universal way of life rooted in heart-centered consciousness. They examine what it means to live in alignment with the heart as a means of awakening and evolving humanity's spiritual and intuitive faculties. Drawing from Toltec cosmology, they contemplate the universe as a living hologram of the One True God: the sun as a microcosm of the Divine, and the human heart as a microcosm of the sun.

There's a waterfall hidden in the woods of Cornwall that makes grandmothers kick off their boots and dance on wet stones. Something about this place strips away the performance — and gives you permission you didn't know you needed.In episode 3 of The Soul's 8 Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS guides you across the Beltane threshold: the return of desire, creative energy, and embodied joy. She explores what happens when longing wakes up after a long silence — and why so many seekers either shame their desire into submission or scatter it through impulsive action. Drawing on Francis of Assisi as the Mystic of Joy and the theological concept of incarnational joy, Nina makes a compelling case: joy is not a reward for getting your life right. It's one of the clearest ways your heart tells the truth.What You'll Learn:What your body is actually telling you when restlessness, longing, or creative heat suddenly shows upThe hidden reason your spiritual life feels exhausting (it's not what you think)Two common traps that keep seekers stuck at this threshold — and the one shift that changes everythingWhat Francis of Assisi understood about desire that most modern spirituality gets completely wrongA five-minute practice that can bring joy back into your body today — no waterfall requiredYour Next Steps:Register for the Free Live Class: "The 8 Seasons of the Soul (And How to Know Which One You're In)" >> https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/H4M-xN9DSyS_uicdJdjjTQJoin the final Celtic Shamanism in England pilgrimage (May 23 – June 2, 2026)>> https://dancingspirittours.com/journeys/england/Support the showRate, Review & Follow If Holy Rebels has helped you practise your spirituality in real life, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick rating and review?

Today, I am joined by my friend Gregorio Montejo to discuss a subject that has caused a minor controversy in the world of re-enchantment and Traditionalist Catholicism. I am talking about a book titled Mysticism, Magic & Monasteries: Recovering the Sacred Mystery at the Root of Reality (Os Justi Press, 2024) by Dr. Sebastian Morello. In this book, Dr. Morello argues for the integration (possibly re-integration) of neoplatonic and hermetic thought into the Church. What does this mean? What does this look like? We discuss all this, critiques of the book, and much more. Gregorio Montejo can be found on Twitter.com @KtistecPGregorio's substack, Past Master, can be found here.

Pirineu swirled among the white tents of the small field hospital.Ca: La fressa del Carnestoltes ressonava des del poble proper, un carnestoltes ple de colors i rialles que contrastava amb la serietat de la tasca dins de l'hospital.En: The noise of the Carnestoltes echoed from the nearby village, a carnival full of colors and laughter that contrasted with the seriousness of the work inside the hospital.Ca: Joan treballava d'infermener, amb els ulls una mica cansats però la determinació intacta.En: Joan worked as a nurse, with eyes a bit tired but determination intact.Ca: Aquell hivern havia estat dur, però ell somiava a viatjar pel món, i així superava les llargues hores entre embenatges i pacients amb històries ben estranyes.En: That winter had been harsh, but he dreamed of traveling the world, and thus he endured the long hours between bandages and patients with rather strange stories.Ca: Un d'aquests pacients era en Pere.En: One of these patients was Pere.Ca: En Pere tenia el braç dret embolicat amb cura.En: Pere had his right arm carefully wrapped.Ca: S'havia fet un esquinç durant una excursió al bosc nevat.En: He had sprained it during a hike in the snowy forest.Ca: Però Pere no era com els altres pacients.En: But Pere was not like the other patients.Ca: Sota l'efecte dels analgèsics, i amb una passió latent per la mística, havia arribat a la conclusió que aquell esquinç no era un simple accident, sinó un senyal d'il·luminació espiritual imminent.En: Under the effect of painkillers, and with a latent passion for mysticism, he had come to the conclusion that the sprain was not a mere accident but a sign of imminent spiritual enlightenment.Ca: "Joan, ho sents també, veritat?En: "Joan, you feel it too, right?"Ca: " preguntava Pere amb els ulls brillants.En: asked Pere with shining eyes.Ca: "Això no és només un esquinç.En: "This is not just a sprain.Ca: És una revelació!En: It's a revelation!"Ca: "Joan sospirà, intentant contenir un somriure.En: Joan sighed, trying to contain a smile.Ca: "Pere, és un esquinç.En: "Pere, it's a sprain.Ca: Has de descansar i sanar-te.En: You need to rest and heal."Ca: "Però Pere no escoltava.En: But Pere wasn't listening.Ca: Ja estava de peu, preparat per unir-se al Carnestoltes, convençut que havia de compartir la seva ‘revelació' amb el món.En: He was already on his feet, ready to join the Carnestoltes, convinced he had to share his 'revelation' with the world.Ca: L'infermer sabia que havia de fer alguna cosa abans que Pere causés un espectacle innecessari.En: The nurse knew he had to do something before Pere caused an unnecessary spectacle.Ca: Aleshores li va venir una idea.En: Then he had an idea.Ca: Va treure un llençol blanc extra, va tallar-ne uns forats pels ulls i el va posar sobre el cap com si fos una disfressa improvisada.En: He took an extra white sheet, cut holes for the eyes, and put it over Pere's head as if it were an improvised costume.Ca: "Pere, mira!En: "Pere, look!Ca: Vindré amb tu.En: I'll come with you.Ca: Podem buscar la teva 'il·luminació' junts.En: We can search for your 'enlightenment' together.Ca: Però d'aquí no sortiràs sense el teu amic!En: But you're not leaving here without your friend!"Ca: "Pere va esclatar a riure, el delirant somni de descobriment espiritual del qual participava Joan reconvertit en una escena còmica.En: Pere burst into laughter, his delirious dream of spiritual discovery in which Joan participated turning into a comedic scene.Ca: Els dos van sortir, barrejant-se amb la multitud disfressada, mentre els sons de música i aplaudiments omplien l'aire.En: The two went out, mingling with the costumed crowd, while the sounds of music and applause filled the air.Ca: A poc a poc, Pere deixà de preocupar-se per revelacions mentre es divertia simplement gaudint de la festa.En: Gradually, Pere stopped worrying about revelations while he simply enjoyed the party.Ca: I Joan, en aquell moment de llibertat inesperada, descobrí que una mica d'humor i improvisació podia obrir nous camins en la seva visió de la vida.En: And Joan, in that moment of unexpected freedom, discovered that a bit of humor and improvisation could open new paths in his view of life.Ca: Finalment, mentre el soroll del carnestoltes s'apaivagava, Joan va quedar-se pensant que potser, just potser, no calia anar tan lluny per trobar aventures.En: Finally, as the noise of the Carnestoltes died down, Joan found himself thinking that maybe, just maybe, he didn't need to go far to find adventures.Ca: Només necessitava una bona rialla, un amic boig i un llençol ben tallat.En: He just needed a good laugh, a crazy friend, and a well-cut sheet.

Ryan and Alex explore the overlap between consciousness and unseen intelligences, digging into thought forms, disembodied entities, and tulpas, ideas that suggest the mind may help create or shape non-physical realities. Drawing on Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance, they discuss whether reality itself has memory, and whether belief, attention, and pattern play a role in encounters with the unknown.

In this episode of The Remnant Report, we delve into the intriguing intersection of technology and mysticism, exploring how Silicon Valley's tech giants may be intertwining with occult practices. Our discussion covers the influence of AI, the role of capitalism in advancing artificial intelligence, and the potential spiritual implications of these technological advancements. We also touch on the historical context of capitalism's roots and its connection to the pursuit of AI, as well as the societal impact of these developments.Jeremy's Links:YouTube: @remnantreport8418Cash App: cash.app/$RemnantwarriorWebsite: remnantwarrior1984.blogspot.comBuy me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/remnantwarkMy Book: Origins Of Kabbalah a.co/d/gSVJD3eMaranantha Merchandise: maranatha-merchandise.myspreadshop.comSupport Oddman  https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanoutBuy Me A Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/theoddmanoutVenmo Tips - @theoddmanoutCash App Tips -  https://cash.app/$theoddmanoutT-shirts, Mugs and Stickers  The Odd Man Out Merch Store At Bonfire  https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-odd-man-out/TeeSpring  https://theoddmanout.creator-spring.com/All Links  https://linktr.ee/_theoddmanoutOddman Rumble  https://rumble.com/user/TheOddManOutSocial Media:_theoddmanout on X, and InstagramFacebook  https://www.facebook.com/oddman.out.181923 https://www.facebook.com/theoddcastfttheoddmanoutA special Thank You to my supporters who contributed to this episode.

A conversation about the deaths and rebirths that we experience throughout our lives, the existential shift of motherhood, the personal language required to choose faith, the philosophy behind Chabad outreach and how it democratizes spirituality, why the concept of Moshiach (messiah) cannot be disentangled from the purpose of the Jewish people, and the small concessions to our vices that have outsized negative impacts on our lives.

n this episode, Nick Bullock, senior pastor of Christ Church (PCA) in New Braunfels, Texas, joins Camden Bucey and Jim Cassidy to discuss an upcoming conference themed "Thy Word is Truth" (February 27–March 1, 2026) and, more importantly, why a sturdy doctrine of Scripture is not a luxury but a necessity for the church. They explore how Scripture's authority undergirds every other theological conversation, shaping how Christians understand God, worship him, and resist the many counterfeit "voices" that compete for allegiance. The conversation also highlights a timely pastoral burden: weak views of Scripture often leave believers vulnerable—whether to "me-and-my-Bible" isolation (confusing sola with solo), or to the perceived stability of traditions that promise rootedness without delivering true unity. By reconnecting the doctrine of Scripture to the doctrine of God—his truthfulness, immutability, and steadfast love—the episode invites listeners to hear again the shepherd's voice in God's word and to respond with reverent, regulated, Christ-centered worship.
