#084 Welcome to Episode #084 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our fourth of eight episodes in our eleventh mini-series entitled, Mystery of Christ | Galatians to 2 Thessalonians. On this episode, Jesus Beyond Dimensionality, we're going to overview the book of Colossians which many have noted as the most Christ-centered book in the Bible. In this overview we're going to see the Supremacy of Christ, our Submission to Christ, and discover more insight into the Mystery of Christ. Colossians is one of Paul's four prison epistles written while he was under house arrest in Rome. The other three being Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon. It was likely written between 60-61 AD. Colossae was a minor city about a hundred miles east of Ephesus and about a mile from Laodicea. What makes that significant is Laodicea is the last of the seven churches in the area Jesus dictated his own epistles to in Revelation 1-3. It is not thought that Colossae exerted any significant influence on early church history, so why the letter?    Many scholars believe Paul was arguing against the teaching of Gnosticism, a Christian heresy that didn't really become widely recognized until the second and third centuries. Others see Paul arguing against influences by several streams of thought including Hellenistic Greek speculation, Jewish legalism, and Oriental mysticism. But to tell you the truth, you get no sense of either of these scholarly arguments being mentioned by Paul in the text for the occasion of the letter.Paul hammers home in this letter to the church at Colossae the preeminence and sufficiency of Christ in all things, and the implications of a believer's union with Christ. Jesus Christ is the creator and Lord of the cosmos and we have been hidden in him until he returns. THIS IS HUGE!!!! I can't describe to you how much I've grown in grace preparing for and recording these podcast episodes. When I finished prepping and recording the Ephesians and Philippians episodes my mind reached it's limit as I tried to comprehend all that we have in Christ. I can honestly say while studying out Colossians I discovered how to go beyond the limits of my own mind. It was something Paul mentioned back in 1 Corinthians 2:16 – But we have the mind of Christ. Our own minds simply could not contain it all but the Holy Spirit within is our hardwire to the mind of Christ.   To God be the glory through Jesus Christ our Lord.PUSH Play and Enjoy the lesson.ShowNotes: https://www.wayofthebible.com/resources

MEDICINA ORIENTAL EN NUESTROS DÍAS. Te invito a escuchar este episodio. Estoy junto a la DRA. MARIA LAURA RAINER (Especialista en Medicina Oriental). “El Qi (Chi) es sencillamente la energía que nos mantiene sanos mental, emocional y físicamente. Para entender los principios del Qi, debemos saber que esta fuerza está presente en todos los seres vivos (humanos, animales y plantas) y que, aunque la asimilan de manera diferente, todos la absorben por igual y lo hacen mediante el agua que ingieren, el aire que respiran y el alimento que reciben” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gustavo-torres58/message

According to ancient Chinese legend, there was a village where people drank water from a well surrounded by goji berries daily. Is it mere coincidence that those villagers lived to be well over a hundred? Traditional Chinese medicine sees a connection between the brain, the various energy channels of the body, and nutrition. How does this system explain the potential anti-aging effects of goji berries? Apart from their antioxidant properties and benefits to the mind, what vital organ are goji berries long known for enhancing? And, under what conditions should people avoid goji berries? In addition to their potential health benefits, goji berries are also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and zinc. Goji berries are generally considered safe to consume, but some people may experience allergic reactions or digestive issues when eating them. It is also important to talk to a healthcare provider before using goji berries as a supplement, as they may interact with certain medications or have other potential risks. We explore the ancient appeal of the “jewel of the orient” in this episode of #Vitalsigns with Brendon Fallon. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

A cerimônia de abertura da Copa do Mundo deste ano, no Qatar, teve como tema a diversidade. O ator Morgan Freeman e o influenciador Ghanim Al Muftah mencionaram os valores durante as falas que protagonizaram na performance. Mas enquanto o evento falava em celebrar as diferenças, a fama do Qatar de autoritarismo conservador só crescia. Com leis que condenam a homossexualidade e um histórico de violações de direitos humanos, o país é alvo de críticas de vários movimentos sociais e instituições pelo mundo, o que fez boa parte dos estrangeiros criticarem a escolha do lugar como sede da Copa. No centro dessa polêmica, artistas como Dua Lipa, Shakira e Rod Stweart chamaram atenção ao se manifestarem contra a autocracia do país. Já nomes como Ludmilla e Nicki Minaj foram criticados por fecharem acordos atrelados ao evento.  O Expresso Ilustrada desta semana discute o impacto do posicionamento de artistas e celebridades diante das polêmicas envolvendo o maior evento de futebol do mundo e como as leis conservadoras do país impactam o mundo da arte.  O episódio ouve o jornalista Diogo Bercito, que foi correspondente da Folha no Oriente Médio e é autor do blog Orientalíssimo, e com o Silas Martí, que é editor do núcleo de cultura da Folha e foi à Doha para analisar o que há por trás da arquitetura do Qatar.  Com novos episódios todas as quintas, às 16h, o Expresso Ilustrada discute música, cinema, literatura, moda, teatro, artes plásticas e televisão. A edição de som é de Raphael Concli. A apresentação é de Marina Lourenço e Laura Lewer, que assinam o roteiro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China's imports and exports jolted to a halt earlier this month - marking the first contraction since the pandemic struck in 2020. At a time of worldwide surging inflation and central banks everywhere raising interest rates to painful levels, the “miracle of growth” that powered much of the world's prosperity these last two decades is causing growing concern. For the second installment of our three-part series looking in depth at China at a crossroads, One Decision considers the economic crises that could be facing the country - and the world. George Magnus, former Chief Economist at UBS, now author and research associate at the China Centre, Oxford University, and the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, explores whether China can bounce back in the coming months.

Martin Fárek's India in the Eyes of Europeans: Conceptualization of Religion in Theology and Oriental Studies (Karolinum Press, Charles University, 2021) is centred around the claim that although the research in Oriental and religious studies seemingly presents unbiased, objective interpretations of Indian traditions, it really puts forward distorted images which primarily reflect the researchers' own European culture. A thorough examination demonstrates to what extent Oriental studies as well as other humanities are still influenced by theological preconceptions.

Leah Guy and Matthew Branham, MAcOM, LAc, discuss powerful topics based on finding the harmony within our lives, living in harmony with the breath, and overcoming the fear of death. Yin & Yang, breathing with nature, finding acceptance and flowing with the expansion and contraction and not forcing through or disrupting are part of this conversation. The breath dynamic happens every day, every season, with every breath, and as with Yin & Yang, the human body also functions seasonally, and part of our conversation is about how death has come to be perceived as a loss, a fear, and a negative occurrence.

Likewise, our mind, emotions, and body are not separate. Disease and pain are often more obvious symptoms of an underlying imbalance.

What would an “anti-field history” of Buddhist Studies look like? What does the social history of knowledge look like when it both includes and exceeds the West/Nonwest binary, the ethnonational subject, the secular humanist gaze, and the moral narratives and metaphysical content of modernism? Matt W. King explores these critical questions and models innovative approaches in his second monograph, In the Forest of the Blind (Columbia University Press 2022), which uses Faxian's Record of Buddhist Kingdoms to expose “ecologies of interpretation” in both nineteenth-century European Orientalist scholarship and Inner Asian monastic cultures. Although Faxian's The Record of Buddhist Kingdoms (Foguoji) is a fifth-century CE travelogue about the Chinese Buddhist monk's journey into Central and South Asia, it later became the subject of Europe's first study of “Buddhist Asia” in the nineteenth century in Jean-Pierre Abel-Rémusat's Relation des Royaumes Bouddhiques, which was then translated from French into Mongolian by the Buryat scholar Dorji Banzarov, and then by the Mongolian monk Zava Damdin Lubsangdamdin from Mongolian into Tibetan. Tracing this fascinating history of trans-Eurasian circulation of knowledge production, King argues that “the circulatory history of Faxian's Record is not simply about Buddhist Asia forged in Europe into other places that were not Europe,” rather, the story is organized “by a chain of site-specific and differing orientations to knowledge itself – of treatments for traces of the past, of methodology.” In six creatively organized chapters, King discusses first discusses how Faxian's Record “orders time by means of space” in its early Chinese context, and then delves into the history of Orientalist Buddhist Studies showing how Abel-Rémusat's “poaching” of Qing sources facilitated the disciplining of Buddhist Asia into an object of a transregional science. In Chapters 3 and 5, we see an inversion of the Orientalist gaze and learn about the reception and reinterpretation of Orientalist scholarship among the “Oriental” subjects themselves, who attempted to make sense of Buddhist history, geography, and Asia's place and time in the world through Faxian's Record, via Abel-Rémusat's translation and scholarship. Here, King shows us that Abel-Rémusat's science of Buddhist Asia was turned, or rather silenced, into chö-jung (history of the Dharma). Unlike models from world history and transcultural studies that tend to focus on movement, contact, and exchange, In the Forest of the Blind instead focuses innovatively on connected but place-bound interpreters who hardly knew of each other and “who began anew from the silence of analytical practices staged elsewhere.” As an example of an “anti-field history,” this book, in King's words, attempts “not to look past the fetish of the subject, but to find the disciplinary implications of centerless, overlapping, and mutually incomprehensible relations of knowledge-power that are coproductive but unbeholden to any specific relation of force (such as colonizer/colonized).” The aim of the book, King explains, is “to imagine new disciplinary futures in Buddhist and Asian studies by implicating the disciplinary present in a more diverse, global, subversive, and dispersed disciplinary past that is more attentive to negative space and absence than to impact or influence.” Ending the book with a complete, annotated English translation of the Tibetan version of Faxian's Record, which was translated from a Mongolian translation of the French translation of the Chinese original, In the Forest of the Blind provides the readers with rich notes about continuities and discrepancies across all four trans-Eurasian versions.
