My median expectation is that AGI[1] will be created 3 years from now. This has implications on how to behave, and I will share some useful thoughts I and others have had on how to orient to short timelines.I've led multiple small workshops on orienting to short AGI timelines and compiled the wisdom of around 50 participants (but mostly my thoughts) here. I've also participated in multiple short-timelines AGI wargames and co-led one wargame.This post will assume median AGI timelines of 2027 and will not spend time arguing for this point. Instead, I focus on what the implications of 3 year timelines would be. I didn't update much on o3 (as my timelines were already short) but I imagine some readers did and might feel disoriented now. I hope this post can help those people and others in thinking about how to plan for 3 year [...] ---Outline:(01:16) A story for a 3 year AGI timeline(03:46) Important variables based on the year(03:58) The pre-automation era (2025-2026).(04:56) The post-automation era (2027 onward).(06:05) Important players(08:00) Prerequisites for humanity's survival which are currently unmet(11:19) Robustly good actions(13:55) Final thoughtsThe original text contained 2 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: December 22nd, 2024 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/jb4bBdeEEeypNkqzj/orienting-to-3-year-agi-timelines --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

“People can be wonderful”, is where we begin this week's conversation. How do we bring that forward, in the midst of all that can be so difficult, so that we can step-by-step make a world in which we meet one another with conversation, compassion, kindness, and welcome? And where do we need to start inside ourselves and with the ones closest to us in order to first glimpse and then act on this possibility?

Maybe the mailman is delivering the good news to your neighbor, or a different city entirely, and you come home to a rash of catalogues, the second notice for a doctor's bill, a plea from the do-gooders for whatever you can spare. Maybe you haven't cleaned your kitchen floor in weeks, forgotten to nourish the front garden, spilled too much coffee in your car, weaving through traffic. Maybe you are 10 pounds heavier than last year. Maybe your skin is betraying your age. Maybe winter is ravaging your heart. Maybe you are afraid, or lonely, or furious, or wanting out of every commitment you entered with such vigor and trust. Maybe you've bitten your nails down to the quick, chosen your meals badly, ignored the advice of those who know you best. Maybe you are stubborn as a toddler. Maybe you are clumsy or foolish or hasty or reckless. Maybe you haven't read all the books you're supposed to. Maybe your handwriting is still illegible after all these years. Maybe you spent too much on a pair of shoes you didn't need. Maybe you left the window open and the rain ruined the cake. Maybe you've destroyed everything you've ever wanted to save. Still. If anything, believe in your own strange loveliness. How your body, even as it stumbles, angles for light. The way you hold a dandelion with such yearning and tenderness, the whole world stops spinning. Maya Stein mayastein.com Photo by Anton Darius on Unsplash

With slower days becoming common, many shops have turned to short-term fixes. Our host Craig O'Neill advocates for a long-term retention strategy that emphasizes relationships.In this episode, Craig breaks things down in three parts. First he explains how he came to embrace the term “Client Relating Capability,” and the influencers who's lessons helped him solidify his feelings on this point into more easily articulated thoughts and beliefs. Next, he introduces the concepts from an old article from 2003 (which is still surprisingly relevant today). Lastly - this episode introduces the term and breaks down three essential components of Client Relating Capability:Orientation – Creating a business structure that prioritizes meaningful client relationships.Configuration – Designing workflows and incentives that facilitate connection.Use of Information – Utilizing CRM and data wisely to support, not replace, genuine relationships.Craig highlights common industry pitfalls, including overreliance on technology and CRM tools that often fail without proper leverage. He also addresses the latest trend of AI in client management, exploring its limits and the importance of human connection.Listeners are invited to rethink their relationship-building strategies and consider how to truly cultivate loyalty. Craig emphasizes that technology can support but should never replace the human element in client relationships.This term - Craig hopes, becomes a familiar and foundational principle that will guide many more topics aimed at improving how we communicate as an industry.Watch the YouTube VideoJoin Our Virtual Toastmasters: https://remarkableresults.biz/toastmastersThank You To Our Partners:The Institute at WeAreTheInstitute.com.

What is Orienting Tapping?Orienting Tapping is a hybrid of two powerful nervous system regulation techniques.Both are powerful in their own right and together they pack an amazing punch in regulating your nervous system.To understand Orienting Tapping it is important to understand each technique separately first and then together.In this episode you will learn:

In today's episode, I'm joined by John Felushko, a product manager at LabStats who impressed me after we recently had a 1x1 call together. John and his team have developed a successful product that helps universities track and optimize their software and hardware usage so schools make smart investments. However, John also shares how culture and value are very tied together—and why their product isn't a fit for every school, and every country. John shares how important  customer relationships are , how his team designs great analytics user experiences, how they do user research, and what he learned making high-end winter sports products that's relevant to leading a SAAS analytics product. Combined with John's background in history and the political economy of finance, John paints some very colorful stories about what they're getting right—and how they've course corrected over the years at LabStats.      Highlights/ Skip to: (0:46) What is the LabStats product  (2:59) Orienting analytics around customer value instead of IT/data (5:51) "Producer of Persistently Profitable Product Process" (11:22) How they make product adjustments based on previous failures (15:55) Why a lack of cultural understanding caused LabStats to fail internationally (18:43) Quantifying value beyond dollars and cents (25:23) How John is able to work so closely with his customers without barriers (30:24) Who makes up the LabStats product research team (35:04) ​​How strong customer relationships help inform the UX design process (38:29) Getting senior management to accept that you can't regularly and accurately predict when you'll be feature-complete and ship (43:51) Where John learned his skills as a successful product manager (47:20) Where you can go to cultivate the non-technical skills to help you become a better SAAS analytics product leader (51:00) What advice would John Felushko have given himself 10 years ago? (56:19) Where you can find more from John Felushko   Quotes from Today's Episode “The product process is [essentially] really nothing more than the scientific method applied to business. Every product is an experiment - it has a hypothesis about a problem it solves. At LabStats [we have a process] where we go out and clearly articulate the problem. We clearly identify who the customers are, and who are [people at other colleges] having that problem. Incrementally and as inexpensively as possible, [we] test our solutions against those specific customers. The success rate [of testing solutions by cross-referencing with other customers] has been extremely high.” - John Felushko (6:46) “One of the failures I see in Americans is that we don't realize how much culture matters. Americans have this bias to believe that whatever is valuable in my culture is valuable in other cultures. Value is entirely culturally determined and subjective. Value isn't a number on a spreadsheet. [LabStats positioned our producty] as something that helps you save money and be financially efficient. In French government culture, financial efficiency is not a top priority. Spending government money on things like education is seen as a positive good. The more money you can spend on it, the better.  So, the whole message of financial efficiency wasn't going to work in that market.” - John Felushko (16:35) “What I'm really selling with data products is confidence. I'm selling assurance. I'm selling an emotion. Before I was a product manager, I spent about ten years in outdoor retail, selling backpacks and boots. What I learned from that is you're always selling emotion, at every level. If you can articulate the ROI, the real value is that the buyer has confidence they bought the right thing.” - John Felushko (20:29) “[LabStats] has three massive, multi-million dollar horror stories in our past where we [spent] millions of dollars in development work for no results. No ROI. Horror stories are what shape people's values more than anything else. Avoiding negative outcomes is what people avoid more than anything else. [It's important to] tell those stories and perpetuate those [lessons] through the culture of your organization. These are the times we screwed up, and this is what we learned from it—do you want to screw up like that again because we learned not to do that.” - John Felushko (38:45) “There's an old description of a product manager, like, ‘Oh, they come across as the smartest person in the room.' Well, how do you become that person? Expand your view, and expand the amount of information you consume as widely as possible. That's so important to UX design and thinking about what went wrong. Why are some customers super happy and some customers not? What is the difference between those two groups of people? Is it culture? Is it time? Is it mental ability? Is it the size of the screen they're looking at my product on? What variables can I define and rule out, and what data sources do I have to answer all those questions? It's just the normal product manager thing—constant curiosity.” -John Felushko (48:04)

Part of the Teaching Sovereign Knowers Collection In recent years, a number of HeightsCast guests have touched on the same resounding theme: the modern creep of curiositas and acedia, both considered classical vices. But where there are two vices, Aristotle encourages us to look for a virtue at the Golden Mean. Mr. Michael Moynihan, head of The Heights upper school, finds it in studiousness. Adding to his collection of work on Teaching Sovereign Knowers, this episode unpacks Michael's essay “Intellectual Virtue and Personal Sovereignty,” available on the Heights Forum. In it, he speaks to the why and how of pursuing studiousness as an intellectual virtue. For this, as with all virtues, allows us to stand before reality in an intentional way. Chapters: 3:43 Curiosity as an intellectual vice? 7:55 Acedia at the other end of the spectrum 10:15 Golden mean: studiousness 14:36 When is it curiositas, when is it engagement? 16:37 Studiousness as a virtue—of sorts 23:09 Standing before reality in an intentional way 26:23 Seeking the golden mean: sticking to a plan 29:21 Using “Great Books” well 34:46 Orienting students to the golden mean Links: Intellectual Virtue and Personal Sovereignty by Michael Moynihan The Idea of a University by John Henry Cardinal Newman Featured Opportunities: Headmaster's Lecture at The Heights School (October 5, 2024) The Art of Teaching Conference at The Heights School (November 13-15, 2024) Also on the Forum: Teaching Sovereign Knowers Collection by Michael Moynihan On Hope and Despair featuring R.

Devotional, Study Notes, and Transcript available https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/teaching/dave-garrett-abcs-of-grace-ep-2 Psalm 119:25-32 || Ep. 2 ABCs of Grace - DALET ד Focus: We're continuing a special series where I share my dad's teachings from Psalm 119, recorded way back in 1981. In this episode, my dad, Pastor Dave, guides us through verses 25-32, focusing on finding hope and strength in times of depression. He called this section "Orienting to Depression," emphasizing the Hebrew letter Dalet that begins each verse. His insights are timeless and so relevant, especially if you're struggling or supporting someone who is. Reminder: These recordings are from old cassettes, so expect a little static and garble. But trust me, it's worth it. Grab your Bible, follow along, and don't forget to check out the study guides and transcripts on my blog, for a clearer understanding. Key Points: Memorize Psalm 119:25-32 to internalize God's promises. Reflect on areas of your life where you feel defeated and ask God to revive you according to His Word. Share this message with someone struggling with depression or loneliness. Study the verses mentioned in the podcast to deepen your understanding. Engage in daily meditation on God’s Word to combat negative thoughts. Something Helpful and Fun: I've written a study guide (a fun fill-in-the-blank activity, actually!

 What does it mean to love horses, but struggle to have the same empathy and love for people? Today's episode touches on a challenge that many in the horse profession face. People who love animals and care so deeply for the environment and the land have a tendency to grapple with conflicting feelings toward humanity, often seeing the very best and the very worst of people in the same day. Is it enough to truly and deeply love horses without feeling the same love for their human partners? Can we genuinely affect healing and change without falling deeply in love with the wholeness of the partnership as well as the individuals involved? When we step back from the separation of me from you, we put a crack in our armor to allow light to flow in (and out) - we connect.What would happen if we created a community of reciprocal care and balance - one without linear, transactional relationships, one where we buoy one another up? What does it mean to truly care? Presence. Orienting to the wisdom of the body instead of the busyness of our minds. Expanding our focus to resilience and regeneration instead of destruction and disdain. Embracing the wholeness of what's healthy, good, and right instead of fixating on what's wrong. Dropping the disempowering stories and the pity. If we could manage all of this, or even any of this, what would change?Join us as we explore these challenging and inspiring topics together.Podcast Guests:Shea Stewart - www.equinebalance.netChris Adderson - www.forthehorse.comSuzi Cloutier - www.zebswish.orgGray Kyle-Graves - www.wholehearthorsemanship.comCarla Bauchmueller - www.theintuitiverider.comKerri Lake - www.generateharmony.comMusic by Mark Rashid - www.markrashid.com 

It is typically to our advantage to choose committed action BEFORE life ruptures take place? Who do you suspect you are in crisis? Is that who you want to be?

Orienting Prayer   #RTTBROS #nightlight Orienting Prayer  1.  Protected by Prayer  Verse: "Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me." (Psalm 25:1-2 KJV) When enemies and treacherous people surround us, our first response should be to seek God's protection through prayer. Like David, we can be real with God about the hatred and affliction we face. Triggers of anxiety are meant to launch us into prayer, unleashing God's peace to guard our hearts. As we pray, God grants us situational awareness to avoid the enemy's ambushes that hide in pleasant places. Prayer is a powerful tool for God's protection in this dangerous world. 2. Piloted by God's Paths Verse: "Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." (Psalm 25:4-5 KJV)  In prayer, we ask God to pilot us - to show us His ways, teach us His paths, and lead us in His truth. This waiting on God is not passive, but active - serving Him while expecting His guidance. Like a waiter attending to diners, we attentively wait on God all day long. As we pray for God's direction, the good and upright Lord teaches sinners His way and guides the humble in His paths of steadfast love and faithfulness. 3.  Pardoned by Mercy Verse: "Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord." (Psalm 25:6-7 KJV) An awareness of our own sin should lead us to seek God's mercy and forgiveness in prayer. We don't pray based on our own goodness, but on God's grace and mercy. Like David, we can distinguish between sins of ignorance in our youth and willful sins of maturity, while still boldly asking for God's pardon for both. We pray confidently, not because we deserve it, but for the sake of God's own goodness. What amazing mercy that grants us what we could never earn! 4.  Provided with Prosperity  Verse: "What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant." (Psalm 25:12-14 KJV) Beyond protection, guidance, and pardon, God's prayer promises include provision and prosperity. Those who fear the Lord receive His instruction and wisdom for life's decisions. Their souls will dwell in abundant wellbeing and their descendants will enjoy an inheritance. God shares intimate fellowship and secrets with those who revere Him, including revealing the blessings of His covenant. Prayer positions us to experience the fullness of God's rich provision. https://linktr.ee/rttbros   Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

On occasion a manager will have the opportunity to hire someone onto the team for whom the job is their very first full-time role. Orienting these newly minted team members is just a little different then hiring new team members with plenty of work experience.

She currently teaches Heart-Mind Meditation at Heal Haus, works at Arena, and is often found at the 462 Halsey Community Garden in Bed-Stuy.  I met Jessica at MNDFL in New York City where I was part of their work-study program and she was studying and teaching. We spent many weeks together at the front desk silently enjoying each others company, and I really loved being part of a sangha (Dharma community) with her.  Jessica and I talk about her path to dharma, Lovingkindness, wisdom for starting your practice, home, ecology, interdependence, community, and what she calls “McMindfullness”.  Our slow, meditative, conversation opens the doors for you to start a meditation practice with the permission that it can look many different ways, but promises a happier life. Here is the quote that I read during the episode ~  Being naturalized to place means to live as if this is the land that feeds you, as if these are the streams from which you drink, that build your body and fill your spirit. To become naturalized is to know that your ancestors lie in this ground. Here you will give your gifts and meet your responsibilities. To become naturalized is to live as if your children's future matters, to take care of the land as if our lives and the lives of all our relatives depend on it. Because they do. -Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer Thank you Jessica for your openness and gentle perspective on dharma!

I had such a great discussion with Jordan Arogeti for this episode. Jordan and her company have a new tool called Support Now. It's a bit like a mashup of some tools you may be familiar with, such as CaringBridge, Go Fund Me, and online meal trains. But it's SO much more than that. In preparing to speak with Jordan, I had an “Ah-Ha!” moment: Support for the newest grievers is all about ORGANIZING and ORIENTING a widowed parent's own community. ORGANIZING: Support Now is a comprehensive tool that facilitates exactly this. Listen to my discussion with Jordan for a good overview. ORIENTING: I have LOTS of thoughts. Some of them you can find now at GriefAllies.com, where you can download my free tips & resources for supporting grieving people. (And stay tuned for more on this!) In the short term, a widowed parent's own community is going to be best positioned to help them with urgent and immediate needs. I'm working on ways to make that easier and less awkward. And then, of course, to introduce resources, books, experts, and more who can help after those immediate-term needs have been tended to. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.

Note: This episode contains content about trauma. Listener discretion is advised.The path toward hope and healing is often charted through pain, suffering, loss, and grief.Coming from two decades spent studying post-traumatic stress disorder, researcher and clinical psychologist Dr. Cynthia Eriksson Cynthia has worked with individuals and communities in the wake of major tragedy. Her psychological and spiritual perspectives emerge from first hand experience with Cambodian children exposed to the atrocities of war, Ugandan refugees, Haitian victims of earthquake catastrophe and infrastructure collapse, or at home in Pasadena tending to frontline workers who are often left burned out and traumatized from relief work.Cynthia Eriksson discusses how to pursue resilience and recovery by reflecting on the role of faith and spirituality; habits and rhythms of life; and relationships and community.How should we understand the difference between resilience and thriving?Resilience focuses on the adaptive capacities that people need to bounce back from trauma, creating the capacity to bounce back, and the skills to increase one's ability and agility to recover. Whereas thriving refers to adaptive growth through adversity, trauma, challenges, and opportunities, all the while in pursuit of one's purpose.Both resilience and thriving recognize the complexities of life, and both affirm and require the actualization of human agency.In this conversation with Cynthia Eriksson, we discuss:How leaders and helpers and caretakers can identify trauma in themselves, and come to recognize, accept, and respond.The importance of paying attention to our brains, bodies, and environment.The 5 R's of resilience to trauma and recovery from trauma.Spiritual responses to suffering and pain—which can often result in incredibly profound experiences with God—and this includes expressing anger at God within a struggle.And practically, we talk about how to deal with avoidance, defensiveness, and blaming others or ourselves—basically, the potentially destructive nature of coping mechanisms.And we close with a beautiful grounding practice that connects us all to our bodies and emotions, to engage trauma, and stay on the path to thriving.Show NotesResource: "Thriving through Trauma: Five R's for Resilience and Recovery" (via thethrivecenter.org)Resource: "Practice: The Five R's of Resilience and Recovery" (via thethrivecenter.org)Resilience versus thriving—what's the difference?What is trauma? A threat to existence.Extending from trauma to suffering and helping other people build resilience and recoverCynthia Eriksson's personal experience of trauma (and not realizing it)Problem solving and seeking control as a coping mechanism and defense against acknowledging and dealing with traumaDissociationExperiencing trauma is not the same thing as being traumatizedFight, flight, freeze, or fawn (”tend and befriend”)The symptoms of trauma and areas of disruptionWhat happens in our bodiesWhat happens in our minds (thinking)What happens in our relationshipsWhat happens in our sense of meaning, justice, and making sense of the worldResilience“What are some of the things that we can all do that help us to build some muscles when it comes to navigating life's suffering?Resilience as a skill everyone can cultivate through personal growth, rather than a static trait“Neurons that fire together wire together.”The Five R's of Resilience Regulation: bodies and emotions Reflection and Right Thinking: truth and factual acceptance Relationships: community, connection, friendship, and support Respite and Rest: disengagement and Sabbath healing Reason: meaning and transcendenceHow to deal with big, overwhelming feelings in the wake of trauma.Grounding and settling practices: feeling where you are. “I'm here now, and I'm safe.”Lament as a healthy spiritual response to traumaAnger at and with GodSpiritual practice of lamentAsking a hard question of God: “Why aren't you here, God?”Lament and anger at God as a practice to stay in relationship with God“There's this tension of: “If I show up for God, will God show up for me?”Orienting to the pain and suffering of others: “How do I show up for the people that are around me who are in pain what does it mean for me to actually open myself up to the pain of others and stay present?”“Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.” (Micah 6:8)Coping mechanisms: substances, shopping, Netflix, avoidanceUnhealthy responses to trauma-based emotion: the dangers of replaying, ruminating, and regrettingRumination is not a constructive processing.What kind of grace can I show myself?Book: Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and BodiesBook: Lisa Najavits, Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual for PTSD and Substance AbuseGuided meditative practice: GroundingExplaining the science behind Grounding PracticesPractical ways to get helpBook: Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Braim, Mind, and Body in the Healing of TraumaBook: Judith Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence—from Domestic Abuse to Political TerrorBook: Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and BodiesNational Child Traumatic Stress Network (currently under website maintenance as of March 4, 2024; contact helpdesk at help@nctsn.org or in an emergency, dial 911)National Center for PTSDCynthia Eriksson on What is thriving?Joy and FreedomPam King's Key TakeawaysA life of thriving on purpose actually includes pain and sadness. A history of trauma is not a disqualification from thriving.Coping strategies are tricky. They tempt us towards avoidance, defensiveness, defensiveness, substance abuse, blaming, and self judgment. Our goal is not coping. Our goal must be thriving.Lots of R's here, but regulation, reflection, right thinking, relationships, respite, and rest, and reason are core components to developing resilience and enacting recovery.It's okay to be angry at God, and it helps to tell God that's actually the case.We can find emotional grounding and regulation through intentionally enhancing a deep connection between our bodies and minds.And the path to thriving is often one where our minds need to follow our bodies and all their glorious complexity.For more information about resilience recovery, org.

This activity can be used when you are feeling a sense of panic, urgent energy, spiraling thoughts and especially when you are having a symptom flare up.

Inspired by my recent trip to Japan, I would like to share with you one of my favorite poems: O snail! Climb Mount Fuji -- but slowly, slowly. Like many haiku, there is a substantial amount of wisdom contained within these three lines, much of which pertains to the best that life has to offer. If you don't see it yet, allow me to offer three lessons contained therein to edify you. Find your Fuji, and climb it as slowly as possible.

When I was coming out of my PhD studies, I was wandering in my own wilderness, trying to find my way. Wondering what else I could do besides clean my house to avoid my dissertation, I enrolled in the Coach Training Institute. And that's how I met Karen Kimsey-House, who eventually became my personal coach, teacher, and dear friend. Karen helped me see how I could amplify the power of learning through the experience of my academic world filled with books, papers, and expertise. In this conversation, we discuss the power of reinvention, how to hear and heed your own truth, and the importance of creating spaces to craft understanding.  Read an automated transcript of this episode. 

Starting counseling as a couple is different from individual counseling, and not every counselor works with couples because of these challenges. Here's what you need to know about couples counseling, whether you're a therapist working with couples or in a relationship and in counseling together.

Aaron Potratz & Nathan Hawkins are behavioral health experts, licensed counselors, and clinical supervisors with over 35 years of experience. They each own a private group therapy practice and co-own a third one together.

If you're listening to my podcast, it's likely that the topics of health and wellness are often on your mind. You probably keep an eye out for the latest superfood discoveries, health hacks and big "no-no" ingredients to avoid. You may even have tried a few of the life-changing products and tools that I use every day to support my energy and wellness. But how often do you contemplate aging and death? We generally avoid these topics in our culture due to the uncomfortable reminder that life is finite. In today's conversation, Jason Prall shares how he's sought out these realities head-on in attempts to understand how people around the world live, age and die. How you live now will determine how you live later, and though we DO all age (if we're lucky!) and die, there are proven ways to mature healthfully and gracefully, manage biological age, embrace discomfort and become clear on exactly what we are living for. Yes, Jason Prall is back on the show to teach us about the famous Blue Zones, hormetic stress and how to become a wise elder. His first episode on Awakening Aphrodite is one of my all-time favorites - if you missed it, check it out here: 180. Orienting to Ease, Unlocking Your Power by Expressing Your Feminine and Changing Your Reality with Jason Prall Jason Prall is a health educator, practitioner, author and filmmaker. In 2018, his independent research and experience as a practitioner led him to create "⁠The Human Longevity Project⁠," a nine-part film series that uncovers the true nature of chronic disease in our modern world. He's currently working on his next film series that explores ancient methods of healing mind, body, and soul from indigenous cultures around the world. He's recently released his best-selling new book titled “⁠Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age⁠."

A 2020 First Presidency Message reads, “The sacred teachings, promises, and ceremonies of the temple are of ancient origin, and point God's children to Him as they make further covenants and learn more about His plan, including the role of the Savior Jesus Christ.” Learning more about God's plan and the role of a Savior in that plan are things that all of us desire but religious rituals can be difficult to understand and the prospect of wearing sacred temple garments may cause apprehension. But the temple carries with it great promises from God and on this week's episode, we discuss the many blessings that are available to us as we choose to make promises with Him. “Temple worship provides a way to put the Lord first, to stay oriented to Him, to love Him the most, to love Him first.” —Jennifer Lane Show Notes 2:10- Changes to the Temple Ordinances 5:40- Religious Rituals of Other Faiths 10:32- Garments and Taking His Name Upon Us 13:39- The Temple Garment as a Gift 18:49- Promise of Temple Garments 21:13- Freemasonry  25:01- Embodiment 29:02- Maps 33:01- Ascension  39:16- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Links & References: Let's talk about Temples and RitualSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
