The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

Today we are so excited to have Dr. Nicola Sykes revisit the podcast! She's here to encourage women with a missing period to get the care they need by clearing up some all-too common misunderstandings. Dr. Sykes also shares insights from her article Where AI Gets it Wrong: https://www.noperiodnowwhat.com/post/where-ai-gets-it-wrongHA Studies referenced in the podcast:Amenorrhea-Related Cardiovascular Health (ARCH) study: http://noperiod.info/ARCH - intake questionnairehttps://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20538611This study aims to evaluate heart health in young women with missed menstrual periods. It is a non-interventional, observational study that hopes to further understand how young women with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea may be at a greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease through a non-invasive test that assesses blood vessel health. In addition to exploring heart health, the study also aims to measure the patterns of psychosocial stress (patient reported questionnaires), physical activity (Fitbit Versa 4 watch), and caloric nutrition (3-day food diary) that contribute to the development of the condition. Participation involves two in-person visits in a three-month period to Mayo Clinic Florida with a study-provided travel stipend. Registry of Very Early Estrogen Loss and AnovuLation (REVEAL): http://noperiod.info/REVEAL - intake questionnairehttps://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20570285This study involves completely remote participation, where we hope to build a registry of women with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea to understand the prevalence, racial and ethnic diversity, underlying causes, risk factors, prognosis, and recurrence of this condition. With a goal of 100,000 women with HA, we hope that the registry reflects the widespread distribution of the condition, and its subsequent need for attention from the medical community. In summary, participation involves a series of online questionnaires and 3-day food diary submissions at Baseline, Month 3, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4. To confirm eligibility, we ask participants to submit bloodwork for review by our expert panel to determine if their hormone levels fall within the range associated with hypothalamic hypoestrogenism. If participants do not have recent bloodwork, we will provide a study-funded at-home fingerstick blood test kit for screening purposes.Apply for coaching w/Cynthia:  https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA:  click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation! Website: https://www.periodnutritionist.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/period.nutritionistDr. Sykes has a PhD in computational biology from MIT.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore how the spirit of the liturgy can—and should—extend beyond the walls of the church. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the essential role of para-liturgical devotions: the Rosary, the Little Office, family prayer, and spiritual reading. How can parents train children to participate at Mass? What about single Catholics seeking a deeper connection? We'll also look at the role of meditation, the dangers of emotionalism, and practical ways to “bring the Mass home.” Whether in processions, devotions, or quiet imitation of the saints, true participation continues long after the final blessing.

Today's topic may sound harsh, but it's an essential truth to embrace: life has winners and losers. I know that you know this, but I want to make it personal to you during this season of practical reflection.

The self-esteem movement works hard to keep kids' egos inflated, but life in a fallen world works harder, deflating our egos, making it imperative we know how to live well when fallenness falls on us.

In this episode, we walk through a simple, personalized framework to help you understand when you can truly retire, based on what you want life to look like, not generic benchmarks.We cover the core question: How much do you want to spend each month?

We dive into the emotional side of retirement. It's about how to find purpose, identity, and meaning in this next chapter.

Episode 342 of RevolutionZ reconsiders how to evaluate success in our struggles against Trumpian fascism.When someone asks how a protest went, what are we really measuring? Our feelings? Media coverage? Participation numbers? Or something more substantive? Being vague about what matters is our movement measurement problem.This episode proposes four essential metrics that truly matter: Did our actions inspire continued involvement? Did we raise consciousness among those who witnessed our efforts? Did we grow commitment and strengthen the movement? And did we communicate to power-holders that we won't back down?Via reflections on experiences during Vietnam War protests, the episode illustrates how unrealistic expectations can demoralize rather than empower. He offers practical suggestions for the upcoming July 17th demonstrations—from coordinated clothing colors to unified messaging—as possible ways to  enhance movement solidarity and impact.The episode goes beyond tactics to strategy including assessing the counterproductive dismissal of Trump supporters as simply "stupid," the strategic limitations of violence, and the false dichotomy between electoral work and direct action. The message is that diverse approaches can coexist within a unified framework if we judge each by its contribution to movement growth and effectiveness.The episode moves beyond subjective feelings toward strategic thinking to  advance progressive goals. The struggle against fascism, all kinds of inequity and injustice, and ecological collapse demands nothing less than our clearest thinking about what works, what doesn't, and how we measure the difference.Support the show

Tax gain harvesting is one of the most underused but powerful strategies available to early retirees and those pursuing financial independence. In this episode, we explore how it works, who it's best suited for, and how it can help reduce long-term tax liability.Unlike tax loss harvesting, which involves selling investments at a loss to offset gains, tax gain harvesting is about intentionally realizing gains when you're in a low or zero percent tax bracket—allowing you to reset your cost basis without triggering federal tax in certain situations.This strategy is most effective in taxable brokerage accounts and is typically not applicable to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s. It tends to work best in years where your income is lower, such as early retirement or transition periods before drawing Social Security.Even with additional income from dividends or part-time work, many people can still benefit from this approach. However, it's important to consider potential state tax implications as well.We'll break down how tax gain harvesting fits into a broader retirement tax strategy, what makes someone a good candidate, and how to use it thoughtfully as part of your long-term financial plan.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

If your goal is to spend $10,000 a month in retirement, how much do you really need saved? The answer isn't as simple—or as overwhelming—as it might seem.In this episode, I break down the key factors that influence your retirement number beyond the common 4% rule. We'll explore how Social Security can significantly reduce what you need to save, why account types like Roth vs. traditional IRAs make a major difference, and how your withdrawal strategy and retirement age can shift the numbers by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Using real planning software, I walk through examples that show how all these variables come together.Whether you plan to spend $5K or $15K a month, these principles apply. It's not about hitting a one-size-fits-all number—it's about understanding what works for your unique plan. - Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.
