Podcasts about No man is an island

Men today are more isolated, confused, and directionless than ever before. In this powerful conversation, Adam Zastrow joins Josh Kosnick to discuss what it means to be a true leader in your home, business, and faith.

George set up our journey through the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans by beginning at the end (chapter 16). He also offered us some context to understand how to read it as ecclesiology (about the church and who makes up the people of God). Paul's point is who benefits from Jesus? Everybody! Exactly as they are. Romans is not about individuals apart from the collective. It's a church made up of people with what seems like impossible lines of difference to cross. But at the center of it all, Paul saw a love drawing us toward God and one another. Romans will be teaching us how to do the actual work of building community. SLIDES GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING The earliest Jewish interpreters of the Torah were concerned that the biblical text remain a living text. This meant that it constantly had to be reinterpreted faithfully in new cultural contexts. If it was just being repeated as it had been in the past, then it was a text that no longer had a living word for the present.  —Michael Fishbane, Inner-Biblical Exegesis of Interpretation in Ancient Israel To Paul, as with Jesus, any disagreements leading to potential disunity were in direct opposition to the gospel message and its power to save all people. “The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”  ― Thomas Merton, No Man Is An Island

Sermon Resources: 1. “The first thing about America that strikes observation is an innumerable multitude of men incessantly endeavoring to obtain the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is a stranger to the fate of the rest; his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind. As for the rest of his fellow citizens, he touches them, but he does not feel them.” -Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America" 2. “We have been led to believe that the self is sacred. Just as in an earlier time it was thought never fitting to deny God, now it seems never right to deny oneself.” -Robert Bellah, "Habits of the Heart" 3. “We've forgotten we belong to one another.” -Mother Teresa 4. "A Hidden Life," film directed by Terrance Malick 5. “The most important thing in your life is not what you do. It is who you become.” -Dallas Willard 6. “We often seek to find ourselves somehow in the work of making others happy. Therefore we throw ourselves into the work. As a result we get out of the work all that we put into it: our own confusion, disintegration, and unhappiness. It is useless to try to make peace with ourselves by being pleased with everything we have done. In order to settle down in the quiet of our own being we must learn to be detached from the results of our own activity. We must withdraw ourselves, to some extent, from effects that are beyond our control and be content with the good will and the work that are the quiet expression of our inner life. We must be content to live without watching ourselves live, to work without expecting an immediate reward, to love without an instantaneous satisfaction, and to exist without any special recognition.” -Thomas Merton, "No Man Is An Island"

Sermon Resources: 1. “You may be an ambassador to England or France You may like to gamble, you might like to dance You may be the heavyweight champion of the world You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls But you're gonna have to serve somebody.” -Bob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody" 2.“Freedom is not given to us merely as a firework to be shot off in the air. There are some people who seem to think that their acts are freer in proportion as they are without purpose…That is like saying that one is richer if he throws money out the window than if he spends it. Neither the spending of money nor the waste of money is what makes someone rich. He is rich by virtue of what he has, and his riches are valuable to him for what he can do with them. As for freedom, it grows no greater by being wasted, or spent, but it is given to us as a talent to be traded with until the coming of Christ.” -Thomas Merton, "No Man Is An Island" 3.

Just as in an earlier time it was thought never fitting to deny God, now it seems never right to deny oneself.” -Robert Bellah, "Habits of the Heart" 6. “Their request is nothing less than a change in Israel's foundational commitment to God…This rejection is not a new happening but is characteristic in the history of Israel (v. 8). The whole history of Israel is one of “forsaking” and going after other gods. This request for a king is one more step in the continuing performance of mistrust (c.f. Psalm 106). The issue of monarchy in God's speech is perceived as Israel's unwillingness to have God as the source and rule of life.” -Walter Brueggemann, Interpretation Commentary Join us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/midtownpreschurch Instagram: www.instagram.com/midtown.pres Website: www.midtownpres.org Community Groups: www.midtownpres.org/community-groups Sunday Services: www.midtownpres.org

What you believe is what you'll see… Often, the narrative is that we are being held up by limiting beliefs when it comes to achieving the life we envision. Early experiences in life build those beliefs and thoughts, those beliefs and thoughts affect our feelings; feelings become our actions, and actions form our habits. Our habits cement our thoughts. The cycle becomes a pattern. Then, we fall into the egocentric trap that holds us back from achieving our full potential. In this episode, our guest, Dr. Ray Blanchard describes the process by which he helps people spiral back into the source of their fundamental worldviews that dominate their life, make distinctions, create new beliefs, shift into an ecocentric worldview, and realize the life they envision in a whole new positive perspective.  Here's what we've learned from Dr. Ray Blanchard:01:24 How to achieve a breakthrough by shifting one's worldview06:29 Helping people transform their worldview to accomplish what they want in life09:03 How making distinctions help people see deeper through themselves10:29 Describing vs. experiencing14:04 The guiding principles of training that transcends cultures20:46 Transforming from the egocentric to the ecocentric relationship24:10 The overmind that cares about how one's actions affect the world as a whole28:34 How egocentricity sets us up to self-hate, hurt, and self-destruction31:08 The Great Spirit that binds us all together as one35:08 The practice of creating a deep connection with others39:19 How we achieve safety and transformation from within ourselves42:35 What mindful noticing without judgment is 3 Ways People Can Become Stronger and Resilient From WithinIncreasing Endorphins in the Body(42:35 - 45:06) Practice the ability of mindful noticing without judgmentStart to notice your environment, start to notice your own emotions, your own thoughts, your own feelings. Start to notice the interaction between you and other peopleThen, find yourself addressing all these intervening thoughts, and you might find yourself judging.Dismiss the thoughts. Just relax and let it go. So you end judgment 30 Days of Mindful Nature Walks(45:17 - 45:56)When you've started to be mindful and noticing.Take an hour of silent walking in nature.Then get into a few minutes of walking in nature. And then just be mindful and just notice.Do this for 30 consecutive days in a row at sunrise. If you can do it just for a few minutes a day, it would be a profound and life altering experience. Networking(45:57-56:10)Network or work with other people.Share with other people and learn.Let other people share with you. Develop yourself in a personal learning community.When you share things, you become aware and notice. Episode Challenge  Oneness & Connectedness (36:10-36:48)Episode challenge of the week Practice this practice of Oneness and Connectedness with a person who is comfortable with you and is up for it. Do this long enough to take the superficial thoughts out but not long enough to be uncomfortableWith people in your life who you're close to, take a few seconds to look into their eyesTry to look beyond their eyeballs and see through the essence of their beingLook into their heart and into their soul. Let them look into yourself and feel your connection. You will feel the profoundness of this practice.If you try this exercise, let us know and tag us @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Dr. Ray Blanchard is an educator, coach, consultant, and internationally acclaimed master trainer.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!John Donne was born in 1572 in London, England. He is known as the founder of the Metaphysical Poets, a term created by Samuel Johnson, an eighteenth-century English essayist, poet, and philosopher. The loosely associated group also includes George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell, and John Cleveland. The Metaphysical Poets are known for their ability to startle the reader and coax new perspective through paradoxical images, subtle argument, inventive syntax, and imagery from art, philosophy, and religion using an extended metaphor known as a conceit. Donne reached beyond the rational and hierarchical structures of the seventeenth century with his exacting and ingenious conceits, advancing the exploratory spirit of his time.Donne entered the world during a period of theological and political unrest for both England and France; a Protestant massacre occurred on Saint Bartholomew's day in France; while in England, the Catholics were the persecuted minority. Born into a Roman Catholic family, Donne's personal relationship with religion was tumultuous and passionate, and at the center of much of his poetry. He studied at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in his early teen years. He did not take a degree at either school, because to do so would have meant subscribing to the Thirty-nine Articles, the doctrine that defined Anglicanism. At age twenty he studied law at Lincoln's Inn. Two years later he succumbed to religious pressure and joined the Anglican Church after his younger brother, convicted for his Catholic loyalties, died in prison. Donne wrote most of his love lyrics, erotic verse, and some sacred poems in the 1590s, creating two major volumes of work: Satires and Songs and Sonnets.In 1598, after returning from a two-year naval expedition against Spain, Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. While sitting in Queen Elizabeth's last Parliament in 1601, Donne secretly married Anne More, the sixteen-year-old niece of Lady Egerton. Donne's father-in-law disapproved of the marriage. As punishment, he did not provide a dowry for the couple and had Donne briefly imprisoned.This left the couple isolated and dependent on friends, relatives, and patrons. Donne suffered social and financial instability in the years following his marriage, exacerbated by the birth of many children. He continued to write and published the Divine Poems in 1607. In Pseudo-Martyr, published in 1610, Donne displayed his extensive knowledge of the laws of the Church and state, arguing that Roman Catholics could support James I without compromising their faith. In 1615, James I pressured him to enter the Anglican Ministry by declaring that Donne could not be employed outside of the Church. He was appointed Royal Chaplain later that year. His wife died in 1617 at thirty-three years old shortly after giving birth to their twelfth child, who was stillborn. The Holy Sonnetsare also attributed to this phase of his life.In 1621, he became dean of Saint Paul's Cathedral. In his later years, Donne's writing reflected his fear of his inevitable death. He wrote his private prayers, Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, during a period of severe illness and published them in 1624. His learned, charismatic, and inventive preaching made him a highly influential presence in London. Best known for his vivacious, compelling style and thorough examination of mortal paradox, John Donne died in London on March 31, 1631.From https://poets.org/poet/john-donne. For more information about John Donne:“Devotions Upon Social Isolation”: https://www.berfrois.com/2020/06/ed-simon-john-donne-social-isolation/“John Donne”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/john-donne“No Man Is An Island”: https://web.cs.dal.ca/~johnston/poetry/island.html“Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions by John Donne”: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/dec/04/100-best-nonfiction-books-no-96-john-donne-devotions-emergent-occasions

Global Policy Watch: Possible End Game In Ukraine?Indian perspectives on global events — RSJThings have escalated a bit since I wrote last week about the economic sanctions on Russia by the West. Apart from cutting loose a few Russian banks from the SWIFT messaging system, we also had the unprecedented move to freeze the access of the Russian central bank to its forex reserves that are held with other banks in the West. Russia has been salting away about $640 billion worth of forex reserves over the past decade in anticipation of an event like this. They had reduced their exposure to the US dollar to about 15 per cent. But if it cannot now access about half of this, or maybe more, because of the freeze, it is a crippling blow. The central bank needs the forex to prevent the slide of the ruble by buying them and propping up its value. If it cannot, the ruble will continue to plunge and currency short-sellers will get into their game to drive it to dust. That apart, the Russian oligarchs and their assets are being targeted. This core group of Putin backers are being made to pay for his blunders. The idea is to drive a wedge between them and Putin. Russian exports have been frozen because, without access to SWIFT, you only have barter as a trading mechanism. Russia is tightly coupled with the global economy unlike its predecessor USSR or other regimes that have faced big sanctions like North Korea, Syria or Cuba. Its economic model in the Putin era has been to focus on its comparative advantage in commodities while importing almost everything else. The sanctions will hurt ordinary Russians. Expect long queues at stores in Moscow. And long queues and Russia have an even longer history. It doesn’t end well for a regime when that happens. I could go on and on but you get the picture. This economic war unleashed by the west has turned more serious than Russia ever anticipated.Review Of The PositionsBut what I am interested in is what are the likely end-game scenarios here. For thinking through that let’s look at the two players, their objectives, likely actions and payoffs. Over the past decade, Putin had been building up to this moment. Testing the waters on the western response by annexing Crimea, sponsoring cyberattacks, meddling in elections of other countries and biting away chunks from its near neighbourhood. The western response to these has been tough words or economic sanctions of some kind. Based on these ‘games’ and their results, his expected scenario of what would unfold after Russia invaded Ukraine was clear. The West would never put boots on the ground in Ukraine to fight Russia. The Russian tanks would roll into Kyiv in a few days. Putin would engineer a regime change, install a puppet and then wait for the West to react. That reaction, as he had seen in the past, would be another round of economic sanctions in familiar shape and form. He counted on western Europe’s dependence on Russian gas to manoeuvre through the sanctions. And he had built the forex war chest to navigate through a rough year or two after which things would be normal. On balance, he would have had Ukraine, a win to reconfirm his strong man status among his people, a warning like no other to his neighbours to accept Russia as their sovereign and to demolish whatever little credibility the US and NATO have as trustworthy allies who would come to your rescue. He also had China on his side who saw this as a test case for their ambitions on Taiwan and the One-China policy. When he weighed the pros and cons of the move, this was a no-brainer for him. Let’s turn to the West now although there wasn’t much evidence prior to the invasion that it was a single bloc that coordinated its decisions. It lived in the hope that Putin would not invade Ukraine despite the clear signals emerging from Russia. It had already shown its hand by not sending troops and arms to Ukraine in anticipation of a war. It felt that it would be used by Putin to aggravate the situation and justify the war to his people. So, all it did was warn Russia of consequences without specifying them and left it at that. Putin saw through this. So, the invasion was inevitable.Putin’s Wrong Choice We move on to the next question now. What were the options Putin had on what form the invasion would take? Back in January, Jones and Wasielewski of CSIS had laid out the six military options that Putin had on Ukraine:“Kremlin has at least six possible military options:1. Redeploy some of its ground forces away from the Ukrainian border—at least temporarily—if negotiations are successful but continue to aid pro-Russian rebels in Eastern Ukraine.2. Send conventional Russian troops into the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as unilateral “peacekeepers” and refuse to withdraw them until peace talks end successfully and Kiev agrees to implement the Minsk Accords.3. Seize Ukrainian territory as far west as the Dnepr River to use as a bargaining chip or incorporate this new territory fully into the Russian Federation. 4. Seize Ukrainian territory up to the Dnepr River and seize an additional belt of land (to include Odessa) that connects Russian territory with the breakaway Transdniestria Republic and separates Ukraine from any access to the Black Sea. The Kremlin would incorporate these new lands into Russia and ensure that the rump Ukrainian statelet remains economically unviable.5. Seize only a belt of land between Russia and Transdniestria (including Mariupol, Kherson, and Odessa) to secure freshwater supplies for Crimea and block Ukraine’s access to the sea, while avoiding major combat over Kiev and Kharkiv. 6. Seize all of Ukraine and, with Belarus, announce the formation of a new tripartite Slavic union of Great, Little, and White Russians (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians).”They had also outlined the likely payoffs and consequences of these options for Russia.“Of these six options, the first two are the least likely to incur significant international sanctions but have limited chance of achieving a breakthrough on either NATO issues or the Minsk Accords due to their coercive nature. All other options bring major international sanctions and economic hardship and would be counterproductive to the goal of weakening NATO or decoupling the United States from its commitments to European security.”It is clear that Putin has chosen some variation of option 4 or 5. These options needed groundwork. Lots of it. First, it needed sustained domestic propaganda to show Ukraine as some kind of a Nazi state supported by NATO that’s a mortal threat to Russia. This has been in the works for many years now in Russia but its effectiveness is questionable. There were last-minute announcements by Putin where he rambled on about this but it is unlikely they sounded convincing within Russia. Second, Putin seemed to have underestimated the complexity of urban warfare. The resistance from the cities has been the reason why Ukraine has held on for so long. This will eventually wilt because the armies are hugely mismatched. But the battles in the cities have given enough time for the world to coordinate its response. This was not in Putin’s calculus. Lastly, there’s the question of the motivation of Russian troops to inflict casualties on Ukrainians. There is this romantic notion that Russian soldiers don’t see Ukrainians as enemies because of long-standing family and societal ties. I don’t subscribe to this. But it is clear in the past week there’s an undercurrent of that playing out in the war. It might soon disappear as the Russians suffer losses and we could be discussing the brutalities of the Russian army soon. But for now, there’s an element of holding back of the punches that’s evident.The upshot of all of these is that Putin is in a hard place. He will eventually push through and have large chunks of Ukraine in some form regardless of when a ceasefire is declared. This is clear because NATO won’t get into a war. But this victory, whenever it comes, would have cost him a lot. The impact of economic sanctions in the short term will be severe on the Russian people. And it will take a long time to come out of it. Russians are strongly connected to the world outside. There will be visible changes in their lives if this continues. How they react beyond a point is the question. Also, there will be ongoing resistance to whatever parts of Ukraine Putin holds on to and this will mean a permanent low scale war. He will have the wrath of the oligarchs to deal with who already have their wealth outside of Russia wiped out. These are his domestic problems. On the other hand, Putin has succeeded in strengthening his enemies outside. US-Europe unity is on display after a long time. There is unanimity in Europe that they need to diversify their energy sources away from Russia with urgency. Multinationals are voting with their feet getting out of Russia. Also, the apparent initial success of the economic sanctions has made Biden and other NATO leaders look good and decisive after a long time.On The Negotiation TableSo, where do we go from here? Any negotiation, direct or indirect, between the West and Russia will be a difficult balancing act for the players. It will be useful again to bring Putnam’s two-level game theory to analyse this. A quick recap of Putnam’s model:“The politics of many international negotiations can usefully be conceived as a two-level game. At the national level, domestic groups pursue their interests by pressuring the government to adopt favorable policies, and politicians seek power by constructing coalitions among those groups. At the international level, national governments seek to maximize their own ability to satisfy domestic pressures, while minimizing the adverse consequences of foreign developments. Neither of the two games can be ignored by central decision-makers, so long as their countries remain interdependent, yet sovereign. Each national political leader appears at both game boards. The unusual complexity of this two-level game is that moves that are rational for a player at one board (such as raising energy prices, conceding territory, or limiting auto imports) may be impolitic for that same player at the other board. Nevertheless, there are powerful incentives for consistency between the two games. Players will tolerate some differences in rhetoric between the two games, but in the end either energy prices rise or they don't. The political complexities for the players in this two-level game are staggering. Any key player at the international table who is dissatisfied with the outcome may upset the game board, and conversely, any leader who fails to satisfy his fellow players at the domestic table risks being evicted from his seat. On occasion, however, clever players will spot a move on one board that will trigger realignments on other boards, enabling them to achieve otherwise unattainable objectives.” For the West, the best outcome on the ‘international table’ will be for the sanctions to continue and to hurt the ordinary Russians just enough for them to show public dissatisfaction and not so much that they rally behind Putin against NATO. The hope then is that the cabal of generals, spies, oligarchs and bureaucrats will depose Putin in the name of Russians to protect their own interests. Of course, there’s no guarantee that a successor will be any better for the West. But you get Putin out of the picture in the short term. Ukraine holding out for long will be the key to this. However, between making Ukraine whole again and continuing with sanctions that can possibly lead to Putin’s exit, it is clear what the West will go for. On the ‘domestic table’, their position has to convince their allies (like Taiwan) that even if they don’t turn up militarily, they can cut their adversaries to size. For this also they have to ensure Putin must go. The other outcome to seek on this table will be to ensure an uninterrupted supply of cheap gas to Europe that will struggle without it. This will be the ‘goldilocks zone’ of sanctions that the West will seek.        For Putin, the best war outcome will be to reach Kyiv and change the regime in the next few days and then sit down for negotiations. On the ‘international table’, he will seek a reduction in NATO forces around Russian borders and acceptance of Russian sovereignty in eastern Ukraine in return for a phased withdrawal. He might agree to some kind of peacekeeping force and a roadmap for free and fair elections. His objective will be to give enough away without restoring Ukraine to its previous form so that he has the sanctions reduced. He needs it to breathe easy at home. On the ‘domestic table’, he will try to delink the negotiations to Ukraine as much as possible and make it more a Russia versus NATO issue. Putin knows Russia’s integration with global trade works both ways. Cutting it off completely will hurt the rest of the world too. Russia is an important source of raw materials and commodities and the second-order trade effects will soon be playing out in various sectors. His focus will be to get a few wins on the reduction of sanctions that he can take back home. The rest he will manage. That would be his winning set on the domestic table. I suspect that’s the way any negotiation will play out. And it is likely Putin will manage to get those wins that will keep him in the safe zone. That’s how the default end state of this game is set. If the West wants Putin’s exit as the real outcome of this war, they will have to move away from this default. They must decide not to yield an inch on the sanctions and live with the collateral damage of this stand for some time. They won’t get an opportunity to corner Putin like this again. I’m not sure if the West will be as coordinated on this as they have been on the economic response to Putin. That’s where Putin will win. In all of this, there’s only one real loser. Ukraine.   India Policy Watch: Aatmanirbhar Bharat Approaching a Wrong Turn Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneWe wrote earlier (#56) that Aatmanirbhar Bharat has all the five characteristics of a powerful narrative. Another strength of this narrative is its breadth. This narrative is ambiguous enough to incorporate a vast range of policy objectives. But this strength is also its weakness. The same Aatmanirbhar Bharat cry can also throw up some tried, failed, and self-defeating policies of the past. Three events in the last couple of weeks suggest that we are heading towards this wrong turn. This post is to sound another note of warning. First, the PM’s speech on 3rd March gave another glimpse of this government’s conceptualisation of Aatmanirbhar. Sample these statements:We have to promote ‘Make in India’ for goods whose demand is increasing in the country today. Now there are two issues -- one to keep exports in mind and the second to meet India's requirements. Let's suppose, we are not able to become competitive in the world, but we can provide quality materials according to the requirements of India so that India does not have to look to foreign countries. We can do this.Or this statement, with the same vibes as the Finance Minister’s “Can’t we make Ganesha idols of Clay” statement a few months ago:“Indian manufacturers should see that the dependence of the country on foreign countries is minimized. Therefore, ‘Make in India’ is the need of the hour…We procure essential medical equipment from outside. Can't we make medical equipment? I don't think it is such a difficult task. Our people have the potential to do it. Can we put emphasis on it? We should not be satisfied that all the necessary products are available in the market according to our needs. Many products which are available in the market are imported. And when Made-in-India products should be available, there should be a feeling among people that these products are better than the imported ones and we have to purchase them. We should create this situation and this difference should be visible.”These words indicate that the primary goal of Aatmanirbhar is quite clearly Import Substitution Industrialisation (ISI). The goal of becoming a major export power is now a distant second goal. ISI as a developmental strategy for India is as old as the Republic of India. After independence, as part of ISI, trade and economic policy measures were designed with the explicit aim of replacing foreign imports with domestic production. India went for one of the most extreme versions of ISI across the world. The results are for all to see. And yet, we seem to be going back to that path. Moreover, this focus on reducing imports misses the point that imports are critical for exports. They allow a nation-state to build on its own strengths while leaving it to other countries to produce what can’t be done efficiently here. And so, it shouldn’t surprise us that as exports rise, imports will also rise concurrently. The world’s top two exporters are China and the US. And the world’s top two importers are also the US and China. There is no contradiction here. Hence, the government’s obsession with reducing foreign dependence is anachronistic and self-defeating.The second statement on medical equipment was even more bizarre. How does one generate a feeling among people that Make-in-India products are better than imported ones? A better product is an objective fact, not a subjective feeling that can be implanted into a consumer’s mind, Inception style. For a detailed critique of this line of thinking, revisit Prof AISH’s sermon here in edition #46. The second force pushing India towards the wrong turn is the Ukraine-Russia war. The breathtaking scope of the economic sanctions unleashed against Russia creates conditions for autarkic arguments to flourish. What if the West does something similar to us? Won’t it be better if we become Aatmanirbhar instead? The harsh reality is that the West’s economic dominance is not going away anytime soon. TN Ninan in his Business Standard column explains it thus:“That leaves the trigger response of self-reliance. This is a very partial solution as inward-looking economies don’t do well. Besides, there is no alternative to the dollar, supply chains are not about to disappear, the country will remain import-dependent for energy, and the West dominates all major international institutions. Breaking free is impossible unless one wants to be a North Korea. The push to indigenise every major weapons system may sound great, but could be overreach. If imports are stopped and domestic production does not happen, we could end up with neither. Besides, almost every indigenous weapons system has a significant import content — the Tejas’s engine is made by General Electric, the navy’s ships have engines from Ukraine, and so on.”Instead of plotting a break-up with the West, India needs to dominate in other areas where the West is relatively disadvantaged. The IT industry is one such example. Not only did it massively benefit due to the connections and investments with the West, but it is also a lever that makes India’s economic relationship with the West more even-handed. The right lesson to derive from the West’s weaponisation of its economy is not aatmanirbhar but aatmashakti. The richer that India becomes, the more difficult it is for any coalition to hurt India economically. And becoming rich quickly requires India to collaborate with the West. Free movement of goods, capital, and labour are crucial for building India’s aatmashakti.Another reason for India to keep close ties with the West is the nature of the high tech sector. There are no national industries of semiconductors, AI, or advanced computing. What’s replaced them are complex global supply chains for products and interconnected global networks for cutting-edge research. While the usual critique of the West is its intransigence on providing India with advanced military technology, India’s deep connections with the West nevertheless foster a transfer of technology (through a flow of ideas and people) in critical and emerging technologies. Building tech aatmashakti requires deepening the connections, not plugging out from the West. That’s how, after all, China quickly shortened its own technology development cycles. The third development that hints at another self-goal was the union government’s nonchalant ban on the import of all kinds of drones, starting last month. The stated intent: to encourage participation in the government-sponsored production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for drones, through which the government aspires to make India a global drone hub, by 2030. But who will tell the government that banning the import of a good and becoming a global hub of the same good are contradictory outcomes? What incentive does a company shielded by protectionism have to compete with the best in the world? More broadly, an uncharacteristically bold report by the mobile phone industrial body highlights the problem with using trade policy to ‘protect’ Indian companies. Its assessment found that high import tariffs were making Indian mobile manufacturers more uncompetitive on the global stage. Using a PLI scheme merely to generate domestic champions is effectively just a redistribution of money from the taxpayers to the manufacturers. India benefits from PLI schemes only when the economic pie grows through exports. And doing that requires friendly trade policies. This is an underrated factor in the success of east and south-east Asian economies.We have sounded out many such warnings about Aatmanirbhar Bharat in the past. Industrial policies are incomplete solutions. Improving the business, trade, and tax environments in India is imperative for India to capitalise on a new geoeconomic environment that awaits us.* From Donne’s ‘No Man Is An Island’ HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] Arjun and Pranay have a paper with a fee recommendations for India-Taiwan collaboration on semiconductors, in a first-of-its kind report that comiles the two countries’ relationship across multiple areas. [Paper] An interesting paper co-authored by well-known philosohper Cristina Biccieri which suggests that ‘informing people about the extent of inequality in a society will not effectively alter their support for redistributive policies. Political campaigns aiming at increasing awareness for the need for social welfare and taxation might want to thus consider to not focus too much on talking about, e.g. high incomes of top income earners since, while it is important that citizens are aware of such facts, it seems to have very limited effects on their policy support.’ This finding is congruent with an older Starmans, Sheskin, and Bloom paper which concludes “humans naturally favour fair distributions, not equal ones, and that when fairness and equality clash, people prefer fair inequality over unfair equality”.

Stories are central to the human experience; we love to tell them and love to listen to them, and we tend to walk away from them having been changed in some way. Jesus was a master storyteller: He had a way of telling stories (the Bible calls them parables) that forced His audience to ask profound and relevant questions about their lives. Watch as Pastor Clint explores Jesus' story about the lost sheep, and what this tells us about Jesus and ourselves. Sermon Resources: 1.

Those who do not want mercy never seek it. It is better to find God on the threshold of despair than to risk our lives in a complacency that has never felt the need of forgiveness. A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless than one that always verges on despair.” -Thomas Merton, "No Man Is An Island" 3.

Do you feel lost in your daily life or, like you are losing energy?   In this episode, Drew walks through tools, tips, and strategies to build up your momentum and energy. This is a process that will connect you to the deeper version of yourself and your soul.   The first step Drew shares is all about recognizing the energy you are experiencing at the moment and allowing it to be present. From here, you can use this feeling as a travel guide for where to go next and how to shift this sensation energetically.   It is time to no longer view the world through the lens of lack! Just like driving a car, where you spend your time looking and thinking is where you will head. Drew shares steps on how to move your thoughts and perspective to view the world through a clearer lens. The final tip for insight may be the hardest to embody, especially if you are anything like Drew. But, this action can be the biggest opportunity for change. Listen in the learn more!   Key Ideas: Time for we frequency versus me frequency It is okay to be okay. Lean into the emotion that presenting itself to you at the moment instead of forcing positive energy or an everything is an awesome mentality. Have a conversation with your inner child to offer support, life, and a listening ear to his/her voice. Use loneliness as a guide to get back on track to found frequency.  Most people fall off ambition by the time they are 40. Write yourself a letter of gratitude to shift your perspective and watch what happens. Offer up words of affirmation towards others and see what happens in your life. Journal as though you are your past self, and then journal as though you are your future self.   Quotes:   “What is the sorrow here to teach me like a lover that you left behind in the past? And now it's here to show its face again, this beautiful face of sorrow pain.” (3:27)   “We're taking a break from the avatar like the avatar has lost itself in the personality or the EDD and we've, we're, we're more me expressed versus soul expressed versus we expression.” (05:29)   “Realized that feeling lost helps you face the truth.” (6:26)   “If we're feeling lost, then we're looking through the lens of lack. We're looking through the lens of maybe it's scarcity. We're looking through the lens of the right opportunity. Hasn't come into my life. We're looking through the lens of maybe this person that I work for.” (09:27)   “How are you thinking on a daily basis about what you actually want to create? When's the last time you spent 30 minutes thinking about what you wanted to create.   People are sloppy with their thoughts. They're watching Netflix for four hours a night. “ (11:02)   Further Resources/Links:   The Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier   No Man Is An Island by Thomas Merton   Follow Drew: @Twitter @Instargram @Facebook Organifi Website: organifishop.com Soul CBD: Visit https://pod-mysoulcbd.com/drew and get 15% off your next order!

It is important to understand the relationship between global trade, vaccine deployment, border management and property prices, as its all connected. As John Donne famously said “No Man Is An Island”. It is a pity many of the commentators have forgotten this. So in our Philosophical Sunday post, we join the dots….

This episode comes at a very important moment in time. We've just marked Halloween, Samhain, and the Day of the Dead. In the northern hemisphere, we're headed towards winter. And, in the United States, we're about to find out the results of the 2020 Presidential election. With all of this in mind, River asks the Tarot: where does it hurt? with the intention of discovering what most needs healing right now. In response, the Tarot deals the Hermit, the Tower, and the Seven of Swords -- all reversed. The cards remind us that in a moment of upheaval, we must re-examine our relationship with solitude, and remember that there are no shortcuts to creating a safer and more peaceful world. This week, River recommends the Tara Brach podcast and references two poems: "What They Did Yesterday Afternoon" by Warsan Shire, and "No Man Is An Island" by John Donne.

“NO MAN IS AN ISLAND.” This famous saying dates back to the seventeenth century, but the thought that it conveys is as relevant today as it was when it was first written. No person can achieve anything meaningful in life without the contributions of other people. To succeed at reaching your goals, therefore, you must learn to appreciate the people God has placed in your life.

We move forward in time: six months have passed since the team entered room 406. Paul and Francis have both woken up somewhere they'd never foresee even in their wildest, most blood-soaked dreams; on the other side of the Law. Ellis is AWOL and all that remains is a blurred memory of that night when the fire broke out. But what really happened?Music by: Lola ZazaGame: Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition, White WolfStoryteller: Martin EricssonGuest Player: Anna-Karin LinderOur Champions of the Red Moon: Martin Heuschober, Nastasia Raulerson, Simon Cooper, David, Julia and David Hagberg.Web: https://www.redmoonroleplaying.comiTunes: http://apple.co/2wTNqHxAndroid: http://bit.ly/2vSvwZiYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RedMoonRoleplayingSpotify: https://spoti.fi/30iFmznRSS: http://www.redmoonroleplaying.com/podcast?format=rssPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/RedMoonRoleplaying

Suffering can turn us inward down an endless dark hole, or it can force us to look outward, outside of ourselves to the only place we can find meaning in our suffering. Today, on The Pilgrim's Odyssey podcast, we reflect on some words of wisdom from Thomas Merton's great book, No Man Is An Island, along with a few powerful words of Christ that can help us understand how to turn our suffering from an inexplicable burden to the thing that allows us to find true life and freedom.

Sgt. Gabrielle Ellis, Lt. Paul Richards and Dr. Francis Ward. The shocking events following the protests in central London have left the team divided, tired and knee-deep in something very far from the standard duties of the London Metropolitan Police. Pushed out of the newly founded operations headquarters for some enforced days off, they are now faced with their own, personal realities. For two of them, it means going back to that which should be familiar. For the third, however, nothing is quite the same anymore. Welcome back to No Man Is An Island.For raw recordings and a recap check out our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/RedMoonRoleplayingMusic by: Lola ZazaGame: Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition, White WolfStoryteller: Martin EricssonGuest Player: Anna-Karin LinderOur Champions of the Red Moon: Martin Heuschober, Nastasia Raulerson, Simon Cooper, David and Julia.Web: https://www.redmoonroleplaying.comiTunes: http://apple.co/2wTNqHxAndroid: http://bit.ly/2vSvwZiYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RedMoonRoleplayingSpotify: https://spoti.fi/30iFmznRSS: http://www.redmoonroleplaying.com/podcast?format=rssPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/RedMoonRoleplaying

Acts 24 - “14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, 15 having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. 16 So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man. ““Asceticism is utterly useless if it turns us into freaks.” - Thomas Merton, No Man Is An Island

A poem from John Donne (1572 - 1631) - its title became a proverbial phrase - a plea for solidarity in times of the Corona-Crisis.

Chip Jacobs, author of Strange As It Seems, talks with Jeremy Rosenberg, coauthor of No Man Is An Island.

Community. It's a place where we have common interests and goals with other people. Once we are joined with other believers in Christ, we share the same Spirit and heritage. These truths are the foundation of the Scripture we will explore this week and are also found in the song, "No Man Is An Island," by Tenth Avenue North. This week we learn that we are not an island unto ourselves, we are part of something amazing...the body of Christ. On this episode I discuss: The poem by John Donne that the phrase "no man is an island" comes from One Body with Many Parts - 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 The number and variety of the members of the body of Christ The various duties represented in the body of Christ The intimate connection the body shares The common importance of the members of the body of Christ     Additional Resources Lyrics Behind the Song - Air 1 Behind the Music on YouTube Behind the Song - New Release Today Article This Week's Challenge Read 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12 for yourself. Stay right there in the areas that talk about the body, or venture out into the gifts, roles and behaviors discussed in both letters from Paul.

Our movie this week is the classic The African Queen, starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. Quote Of The Week: "God only knows what she would have cut off tonight." Producer: Colonel Jeff Fox Audio Engineer: Dr. Chris Laxamana

Warren kicks off the week by announcing his upcoming trip to Florida, which initiates a brainstorming session in which we try to avoid copyright infringement regarding the behaviour of drunken women at spring break and their boobs. Then in Pooh Corner, Luc asks what the world should do to compensate for the mistreatment of homosexuals during the holocaust. Says, our suggestion is likely to offend almost everyone, even though, contrary to Warren's first impression, we're NOT suggesting the rounding-up of anyone. The result really would be like Cape Cod, but with show tunes! If you want to support our idea, send us an email (maskedman@limitedappeal.net). Theme music courtesy of General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners and Ipecac Recordings.
