Send us a textWhat if everything you've been taught to fear about the Last Judgment is backward? We take a fresh, practical look at A Course in Miracles, exploring how judgment isn't God condemning anyone but a healing of perception we undertake with Christ's help. Instead of punishment and dread, we talk about right evaluation: learning to distinguish what is worthy of us—love, peace, joining, forgiveness—from what is unworthy—fear, guilt, attack, and specialness. That shift dissolves the fear of judgment at its root and restores right-mindedness, where innocence and clarity feel natural.Together, we unpack why punishment never corrects the mind, how it secretly reinforces separation, and how to turn every trigger into a doorway to healing. You'll hear simple practices to use in real time: pause when you brace for consequences, ask for help to sort false from true, and notice how the body's energy field relaxes when you choose love. We also redefine “apocalypse” as a constructive division—an unveiling that gently separates reality from illusion. No divine wrath, no tallying of sins; just the mind preserving only what is good and releasing what was never real.As belief is withdrawn from miscreations, they lose their grip—and often vanish. Relationships shift, either transforming to match peace or naturally falling away when their lesson completes. You stop chasing pleasure in forms and start bringing joy to them, trusting guidance rather than forcing outcomes. By valuing only what's eternal, the exhausting swing between free will and imprisoned will ends. If you're ready to disown self-attack, welcome correction without fear, and experience the quiet strength of Christ vision in daily life, this deep dive will meet you where you are and invite you home to what you've always been.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Today we are coming to beating heart of scripture.

Have you ever thought about writing the perfect legal brief? Guest David N. Greenwald has, so much so that the retired Cravath, Swaine & Moore partner wrote a book on the subject: Sentence, Paragraph, Argument, Brief: Meeting the Four Challenges of Legal Writing. The book is the culmination of a 30-year legal career, beginning with a clerkship and the lessons learned under the guidance of the Hon. Richard A. Posner, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Reading, digesting, and understanding everything related to each brief proved to be the foundation of good legal writing, Greenwald says. Throughout his career, Greenwald intentionally honed his skills, from writing briefs to eventually, as a partner, editing them. With each paragraph and edit, he focused on the construction and flow of each argument. Writing, Greenwald explains, is a linear process, putting ideas and sentences in a logical progression. A brief, he says, is a special kind of writing that must be learned. It starts with a statement of fact or history, building a narrative. But it's also a work focused on clarity, without surprises or suspense. Hear Greenwald's discussion of the art, and science, of legal writing and the principles of a clear, persuasive argument.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

Götzendienst klingt nach Antike, nach Baal und goldenen Kälbern – aber die echten Götter unserer Zeit tragen andere Namen: Erfolg, Kontrolle, Liebe, Anerkennung, Genuss. Jeder Mensch hat einen inneren Thron. Und jeden Tag kämpft etwas darum, dort Platz zu nehmen. In dieser Message zeigt David, warum das erste Gebot kein Paragraph, sondern ein Liebesbrief ist – und warum Götzen dein Herz fesseln, während Jesus es befreit. Erlebe eine kraftvolle Einladung, deinen Thron neu zu besetzen und dem König der Herrlichkeit Raum zu geben.

Send us a textWhat if “the Last Judgment” isn't a cosmic trial but the clearest act of love your mind can make? We take a grounded, ACIM‑based tour through one of spirituality's most misunderstood ideas and uncover a liberating frame: God does not judge, and judgment itself is a temporary tool we repurpose to sort illusion from truth. When we keep only what is real—what is created in love—we end the ego's loop of self‑evaluation and fear.We start by drawing the essential line between creating and making. Creations are eternal; what we “make” through belief in separation appears real only because we value it. From that lens, the Last Judgment becomes discernment: recognizing fear as nothing and love as everything. We explore how fear is evidence of confusion, not danger, and how exposing our darkness without drama lets correction in. Justice gets redefined too—not as punishment, but as restoration of innocence, a learning device that returns the mind to balance and refuses to let guilt replace truth.Then we zoom out to time. Miracles collapse intervals of delay that would otherwise stretch across lifetimes. That's the “celestial speedup”: when enough of us become truly miracle‑minded—choosing forgiveness over attack, vision over judgment—we compress suffering for the whole. This isn't about striving; it's about relaxing into willingness, asking for Christ's vision, and practicing a simple sort: keep the eternal, release the unreal. Confidence grows through happy learning, and peace becomes a reliable signal that we're on purpose.If you've ever felt haunted by judgment, stuck in guilt, or tangled in the ego's stories, this conversation offers a practical way out. Trade the myth of a wrathful deity for the reality of mercy. Reclaim discernment. Help collapse time by choosing miracles where you stand.

Therefore honour God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6 : 19-20Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.At 12 P.M., the Spirit calls His people to walk in holiness and truth. 1 Corinthians 6 : 19-20 reveals that we are the dwelling place of God. Across Uganda, Italy, Canada and Australia, believers pray, “Lord, make me pure in heart.” Holiness is not restriction but freedom — to live without shame and without fear. The Holy Spirit cleanses every thought and desire that belongs to Christ. This afternoon we offer our lives as temples set apart for His glory.Paragraph 1 – Context The Corinthian Church lived in a world of temptation and compromise. Paul reminded them that their bodies were holy — bought by the blood of Christ. Every believer today is called to honour God by how we live, speak and love.Paragraph 2 – Reflection Purity is the fruit of the Spirit, not the result of striving. When we let the Holy Spirit rule our hearts, temptation loses its voice. Holiness is beauty — a life that reflects the presence of Jesus.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for Uganda, Italy, Canada and Australia. Let churches model integrity and honour. Raise up young believers who choose holiness over hype. May the Spirit purify the hearts of nations for Christ.Prayer PointsPrayer for purity and holiness in heart and mind.Ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse and renew your life.Prayer for strength to resist temptation.Ask God to help you live right and walk in truth.Prayer to honour God in body and spirit.Pray for integrity in leadership and churches.Ask the Spirit to renew a clean heart within you.Prayer for families to walk in holiness and peace.Pray for revival through purity and repentance.Thank God that we are His temples filled with light.Life ApplicationHoliness begins with surrender.

No one comes to the Father except through me.'” — John 14 : 6Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.At 6 P.M., we lift Bangladesh before the throne of Christ, the only Way through the storm. John 14 : 6 reminds us that Jesus is not one path among many — He is the Way. Across Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka believers long for truth, freedom and new life. Where fear and unrest fuel minority persecution, the Gospel shines hope and justice. Tonight we pray for Bangladesh to walk in the Way of Jesus, and for truth to set its people free.

In a land where ethnic tensions and fear burden many, the promise of Christ offers a clear path forward.Paragraph 2 – Reflection Jesus is the light in places where voices are silenced and faith is hidden. His truth brings freedom where chains seem unbreakable. When the Holy Spirit leads, life changes — not just individually, but at the heart of a nation. To follow Jesus is to embrace hope, walk in courage and live with purpose.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for Bangladesh, and the surrounding lands of India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Lord, strengthen and protect believers facing fear and opposition. Infuse church leaders, young believers and families with the Holy Spirit's power and peace. Let the Way of Jesus be known in every village, every city, every heart.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

It's Jam's birthday! To find out the first song they selected, go to Paragraph 2 (P2). To skip ahead to the ranking music, go to P5. P2: It was "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" by Fall Out Boy! For their second selection, they give Ian two options -- past or future. If you think he should choose "future", go to P3. If you prefer "past", go to P4. P3: Ian chose the same thing! And the song was, unfortunately, "Feels Like Christmas" by Panic! At the Disco. All that's left is learning the ranking music -- go to P5! P4: Oh no! Ian didn't choose this option. Also, you slipped on an icy patch and fell down a well. Oops!!! P5: The ranking music in this episode is "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" as performed by Skatune Network. Yay, you did it!

Send us a textThe End of Minus — Mastering Love in A Course in MiraclesWhat if “lack” is just bad math… and love has no minus sign? In this episode, we dive deep into The Mastery of Love as presented in A Course in Miracles and expose the unconscious arithmetic that keeps us counting losses, tracking decline, and budgeting our worth.Using the striking example of negative numbers, we reveal how the ego's logic is expertly designed to organize illusions—without ever touching what's real.✨ Key Highlights:Love has no opposite. Minus values don't exist in truth—so why do we keep living as if they do?Wholeness cannot be fractioned. Withholding love from even one person fractures our awareness of unity.Time scarcity, aging, debt, fixed income, “falling behind”—we unpack all these common scripts as mental accounting errors, not spiritual reality.Atonement as practical correction: Not a payment or negotiation, but the recognition that separation never occurred.Readiness vs accomplishment: Readiness opens the door. Accomplishment is walking through it.Confidence follows mastery—not the other way around. We learn to choose truth consistently without waiting to feel certain first.You'll hear simple, actionable steps to:Notice a feeling without naming it a problem,Drop the story that tries to explain it,Invite reinterpretation from the Holy Spirit,Choose again—this time for love.We illuminate why fear can't be mastered (it's not real) and love can be mastered—by choosing not to abandon it in the smallest moments of everyday life.✨ If you're ready to live without a minus sign… this episode is for you.Press play, subscribe, and share it with a friend who's done measuring life in terms of loss and is ready to remember wholeness.

At the Catholic Creators Conference in Steubenville, OH, host John Sohl and producer Patrick Parris get to record in the Catholic Answers Live studio.

Daniel Handler's sardonic sense of humor and deep pathos have engaged readers across genres for over twenty-five years. Handler's best known for his series of children's books A Series of Unfortunate Events under the pen name Lemony Snicket).  His books published under his own name include Why We Broke Up, We Are Pirates), and the memoir, And Then? And Then? What Else? which has just been published in paperback. Andrew Sean Greer's six works of fiction include the bestsellers The Story of a Marriage, The Confessions of Max Tivoli, Less (which earned him the Pulitzer Prize), and Less is Lost. On October 8, 2025, Daniel Handler and Andrew Sean Greer took to the stage of the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco, for a program they call “Paragraphs on Ice!” in which they dissect paragraphs written by other notable authors. It was a lesson in the art of writing – and the art of close reading. 

Send us a textFrom Compromise to Wholeness — The Gift of TimeWhat if the split you feel isn't between two real forces, but between reality and a clever nothing?In this talk, we dive into A Course in Miracles to show how “nothing and everything” cannot coexist—and why choosing love over fear is less a ritual than a present-moment decision that collapses delay.Instead of fixing yourself, we explore how to transfer faith from ego stories to the Holy Spirit's reinterpretation, letting error be seen without judgment and corrected on the spot. We walk through the right use of denial—feeling what arises while refusing to grant it reality—and how pseudo-solutions like analysis, control, and specialness keep the loop alive.From there, we reframe time as a compassionate device for ending compromise with illusion, unpacking a fresh reading of John 3:16: not sacrifice, but a gift—this world given as a classroom where mercy replaces guilt. The result is a grounded practice for accepting Atonement without delay: pause, notice the sensation, offer the thought, and allow correction to flow.We also open the lens on the Sonship—the one shared Self beyond multiplicity. Inclusion heals perception; exclusion fractures it. Each encounter becomes communion when we remember there's only one of us to forgive and to love.If you're ready to stop negotiating with fear, to let time serve awakening, and to feel the quiet strength of choosing everything, this conversation offers clear steps and a lived sense of peace.✨ If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who's seeking real peace, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your voice helps this work reach the ears that need it most.

In recent court filings, Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has argued that videos of his so-called "Freak Off" parties demonstrate consensual sexual activities among adults, countering allegations of coercion and misconduct. The defense contends that the footage shows participants engaging willingly, without evidence of force or manipulation, challenging the prosecution's portrayal of these events as exploitative.Combs faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, with prosecutors alleging that he orchestrated drug-fueled sex parties involving non-consenting individuals. His attorneys have requested fewer restrictions on viewing the videos to prepare their defense, asserting that the government's case is unjustly criminalizing consensual adult behavior. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, remains detained without bail, with a trial scheduled for May 2025.In United States v. Combs, Case No. 24-cr-542 (AS), Sean Combs's legal team has filed a request for a modification to the Protective Order issued by the court. The current order restricts the defense from receiving electronic copies of video evidence referenced in Paragraphs 12(a) and 12(c) of the indictment, permitting only inspection of the footage. Combs's attorneys argue that this restriction hinders their ability to fully investigate the evidence and demonstrate its exculpatory value. They contend that the videos strongly support Combs's innocence and must be electronically produced for proper evaluation and use in his defense.Citing Rule 16(a)(1)(E), which mandates the government to provide access to relevant evidence, and Rule 16(d)(1), which limits restrictions on such evidence to cases with demonstrated "good cause," the defense asserts that no valid justification exists for withholding electronic copies. They emphasize that the videos are critical to ensuring a fair trial and argue that the government's restrictions undermine the defense's ability to effectively utilize the material alongside other Rule 16 and Brady disclosures. The motion urges the court to modify the Protective Order and allow for standard electronic production of the videos.In United States v. Combs, Case No. 24 Cr. 542 (AS), the government has requested that the court direct Sean Combs's defense team to remove and refile their January 14, 2025, motion to amend the Protective Order. The government argues that the defense's filing violated the existing Protective Order by failing to appropriately redact sensitive information. The motion in question seeks to modify restrictions on video evidence, which is currently limited to inspection by counsel and the defendant, without allowing for electronic production.The government asserts that the defense's incomplete redactions breach the terms of the Protective Order (Dkt. 26), which is designed to safeguard the handling of specific evidence in the case. While acknowledging the defense's request to amend the order regarding the video evidence, the government emphasizes that compliance with the current protective measures is essential. They request the court to ensure the filing is re-submitted with redactions that fully adhere to the established rules.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.126.0.pdf

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: This just all seems like extremely strange framing for a CONGRESSIONAL MEMO in 2025. Are the House and Senate really blasé about the shutdown exactly or or have they just ceded all their power to a president who can't be made to care? There isn't really much point in working late into the night or even performing the role of working late into the night, when the only person who has any control over the process is sundowning. After the jump, which arrives accompanied by a sly little postage stamp photo of the Capitol dome with an out of focus, DON'T WALK sign in the foreground. The story delivers a revealingly garbled analogy. "Former representative Patrick McHenry, The Times writes, The North Carolina Republican who helped steer the house away from a shutdown in 2023 predicted that the gridlock would continue until lawmakers felt more consequences from their voters for doing nothing. He compared it to a professional wrestling match, where both sides need to force the opposition to submit. 'It's not goodwill that brings policymakers together,' Mr. McHenry said 'it's pain. There's no urgency until the political pain increases.'" Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/

Send us a textWhat if the root of all psychological suffering isn't where your energy flows, but what you believe about yourself?In this profound deep dive into A Course in Miracles Chapter 2, Hope Johnson unpacks Jesus's radical correction of Freudian psychology, showing how humanity has misunderstood the mind for centuries.✨ Instead of endlessly managing psychic energy through therapy, sublimation, or control, Jesus offers a stunningly simple solution: “The only way out is to stop miscreating now and accept the Atonement for miscreations of the past.”This present-moment approach reveals that what we've called problems, failures, or mistakes never actually happened in truth.Hope weaves Jesus's teachings on psychic energy with real-life examples—from triggering conversations to food beliefs to personal loss. She shares a powerful story of losing her home to a lava flow and greeting this seeming catastrophe with joy, showing how perception alone transforms experience.

Send us a textHave you ever felt caught in a mental deadlock, trying to reconcile your spiritual nature with worldly fears? In this illuminating episode of ACIM Deep Dive, we explore the profound concept of how the mind creates conflict by attempting to hold both truth and illusion simultaneously.When we believe that both the power of creation (which is real, eternal, and of God) and miscreation (which has no effects but seems to generate fear) can coexist, we experience a paralyzing deadlock. Jesus teaches us that this level confusion—treating illusion as if it's on the same level as truth—is the source of nearly all suffering.The resolution comes through a radical recognition: "The conflict cannot disappear until it is fully recognized that miscreation is not real and therefore there is no conflict." This isn't spiritual bypassing; it's seeing through the illusion while allowing whatever arises to pass through your awareness.Through practical examples and personal stories, we explore how to distinguish between inappropriate denial (pretending conflict isn't there) and healing recognition (acknowledging feelings while seeing they have no power). We discover that nothing fearful exists in God's creation, and fear only becomes "real" when we assign reality to illusion.Perhaps most liberating is Jesus's assurance that though we have miscreated "in a very genuine sense," we "need neither continue to do so nor suffer from past errors." Our miscreations were undone the instant they occurred, and now we're simply accepting the correction that's already complete.Ready to break free from mental conflict and experience the peace that comes from knowing what's real? Listen now and remember to laugh at what never was.Support the show
