Sanctify Them In The TruthJohn 17:17-18 “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.  As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.  And for their sakes, I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.”The beginning part of this was the verse of the day today. I liked this verse because it talks about sanctifying them with the Lord's truth. I wasn't exactly sure what this verse meant, so I turned to the “Enduring Word Bible Commentary.” I always learn a lot when I look to the people who write Bible commentary for more information.The verse above starts with, “Sanctify them in the truth.” Sanctify means to be set apart for God's special pleasure and use. It implies holiness, being set apart from the corruption of the world and for God's use. We have all been set apart from this world. Yes, we are all meant to live in this world, but we are not meant to be of this world. I know that probably just sounds like fancy rhetoric that you hear people say but don't really know what it means. What it means is that although we are living in the world, we must not conform to its ways.The world's view and the Lord's view are very different, and we must be careful not to get lazy and just start believing what the world believes. It can be hard not to fall into the trap of believing what the world believes because what the world believes is so much in our faces. We are surrounded by it. They try to convince us that the things they are doing are not as bad as we think they are. The world will try to normalize all the things that the Lord says we should not be doing.The world tells us that it's ok to tell “little white lies” because they really aren't hurting anyone. The world tells us that it is ok to take what is ours, even if it doesn't technically belong to us. The world tells us so many things that just aren't true. Yet their justification seems to make sense to us. This is why I said earlier that we have to be careful not to get lazy and just start believing what the world believes. It takes work to examine their reasoning and their justification and see right through it.Another thing that just came to mind is that we need to know why God says what He says. We need to know why the church says what it says. Before I started learning more about my Catholic faith, I would have people ask me why I believed what I believed, and they would quote scripture to me and tell me why I was wrong or why the Catholic Church was wrong. Their arguments seemed to make sense, and I would start to question what I believed. This is when I started learning all I could about my beliefs and why the Church teaches what it teaches. I learned so much, and I began to realize that most of the things that my friends were saying about the Catholic Church were not actually true. They had issues with what they thought we believed or what they thought we were doing, but that wasn't what we believed or what we were doing.One instance is when they asked why we worship Mary or the Saints. We don't do either of these things. We definitely give Mary the respect she is owed as Mother of our Lord and Savior, but we don't worship her. We also don't worship the saints. We do talk with the Saints, and we do ask them to bring our requests to the Lord, but this is no different than when anyone would ask you to pray for their family. We aren't asking the Saint to fix our situation; we are asking them to bring out a request to the Lord. The more people praying for our situation, the better!Back to the verse. Jesus didn't just leave the disciples to sanctify themselves. He prayed for their sanctification. This process is not left to us alone; it is a work of God in us and through us. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth: The dynamic behind sanctification is truth. The word of God is read, heard, understood, and applied. “Sanctification is not effected apart from divine revelation.” (Morris) “The more truth you believe, the more sanctified you will be. The operation of truth upon the mind is to separate a man from the world unto the service of God.” (Spurgeon)The verse goes on to say, “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.”Jesus gave us a mission to go out into the world. The reason Jesus asked for our sanctification was not primarily for personal holiness, although that is included, more so being set apart for God's service and mission. “He does not merely leave them in the world, but sends them into it, to witness to this same truth of God.” (Alford) “The word ‘mission' comes from the Latin verb mitto, mittere, misi, missum, which means ‘to send' or ‘dispatch.' A mission is a sending forth.” (Boice) Jesus gave us each a mission, and we need to start living out this mission. “Christ was the great Missionary, the Messiah, the Sent One; we are the minor missionaries, Sent out into the world to accomplish the Father's will and purpose.” (Spurgeon) “Christ's commission is on a higher scale than ours; for he was sent to be a propitiation and covenant-head, and so came into positions which it would be presumption for us to dream of occupying. Still, there is a likeness, though it is only that of a drop to the sea.” (Spurgeon)Think of how Jesus came, and connect it to the way that He sends us into the world:· Jesus did not come as a philosopher like Plato or Aristotle, though He knew higher philosophy than them all.· Jesus did not come as an inventor or a discoverer, though He could have invented new things and discovered new lands.· Jesus did not come as a conqueror, though He was mightier than Alexander or Caesar.· Jesus came to teach.· Jesus came to live among us.· Jesus came to suffer for truth and righteousness.· Jesus came to rescue men.The verse then says,  “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself:” One should not think that Jesus was unsanctified up to this point. Yet now He was about to enter a new aspect of being set aside for God the Father and His purpose: to complete the work of the cross. It was through that finished work that the word of God and the work of God would become fully effective in the lives of the disciples (that they also may be sanctified by the truth).Christ died on the cross for us. He gave His life for us, and now we are called to go out and complete his mission. We are called to spread the truth of the Bible to all those we meet.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Jesus, we love you, and we thank you for walking the Earth and showing us how to live. We thank you for showing us how to complete the mission you have given us. We thank you for sanctifying us and for not leaving us alone to do your mission but for sending the Holy Spirit to be with us as we go out into the world. We ask that you continue to be with us always and you continue to lead us on our mission. We ask this in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow.

He was born in Ukraine in 1722, one of the many children of a priest. He attended the Ecclesiastical Academy in Kiev, but was disappointed by the worldliness, love of ease and western theological climate that he found there.   After four years he left the school and embarked on a search for a spiritual father and a monastery where he could live in poverty. He eventually found wise spiritual guides in Romania, where many of the Russian monks had fled after Peter the Great's reforms. From there he traveled to the Holy Mountain. Spiritual life was at a low ebb there also, and Plato (the name he had been given as a novice) became a hermit, devoting his days to prayer and reading the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers. After four years, a visiting Elder from Romania tonsured him a monk under the name Paisius, and advised him to live with other monks to avoid the spiritual dangers of taking up the solitary life too soon. A few brethren from Romania arrived, seeking to make him their spiritual father, but as he felt unworthy to take on this task, all of them lived in poverty and mutual obedience. Others joined them from Romania and the Slavic countries, and in time they took up the cenobitic life, with Paisius as their reluctant abbot.   In 1763 the entire community (grown to sixty-five in number) left the Holy Mountain and returned to Romania. They were given a monastery where they adopted the Athonite rule of life. Abbot Paisius introduced the Jesus Prayer and other aspects of hesychasm to the monastic life there: before this time, they had been used mostly by hermits. The services of the Church were conducted fully, with the choirs chanting alternately in Slavonic and Romanian. The monks confessed to their Elder every evening so as not to let the sun go down on their anger, and a brother who held a grudge against another was forbidden to enter the church, or even to say the Lord's Prayer, until he had settled it.   The monastic brotherhood eventually grew to more than a thousand, divided into two monasteries. Visitors and pilgrims came from Russia, Greece and other lands to experience its holy example.   St Paisius had learned Greek while on Mt Athos, and undertook to produce accurate Slavonic translations of the writings of many of the Fathers of the Church. The Greek Philokalia had been published not long before, and St Paisius produced a Slavonic version that was read throughout the Slavic Orthodox world. (This is the Philokalia that the pilgrim carries with him in The Way of a Pilgrim).   The Saint reposed in peace in 1794, one year after the publication of his Slavonic Philokalia. The Synaxarion summarizes his influence: "These translations, and the influence of the Saint through the activity of his disciples in Russia, led to a widespread spiritual renewal, and to the restoration of traditional monastic life there which lasted until the Revolution of 1917."

In this podcast, we will be talking about how to master self-discipline from the philosophy of Plato. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, and has remained very popular the entire time. So with that in mind, here are 3 ways to master self-discipline from the philosophy of Plato -  01. Practice the art of measurement 02.  Don't be a victim 03. Actively seek knowledge I hope you enjoyed listening to this audio, and hope these 3 ways on mastering self-discipline from Plato will add value to your life.  Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He represented the philosophy of ancient Greece, belonging to its Classical Period. He was born into an aristocratic and influential family in Athens, where he founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilization. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, which asserts that the physical world is not the real world. Instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world, in the world of ideas. Plato was not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of religion and spirituality; so-called Neo-platonism deeply influenced Christian theology. Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy. Some of his most famous books are The Republic, The Symposium, The Apology of Socrates, Allegory of the Cave and The Dialogues of Plato, in which the main character is Socrates, who influenced Plato's philosophy to a great extent. His entire work has survived for more than 2,400 years and has remained very popular the entire time. Like his mentor, Plato was a practical philosopher and there are many life lessons to learn from his philosophy.

Plato said "An unexamined life is not worth living." When you examine your life, what do you think it is that you were made to do? Let's Focus on the Bible to find the answer.

What's going on? Why don't we care about character anymore? This is very troubling. 

Welcome to another Huge Niblet episode. And yes, it's a bit huge. (You saw the time stamp!) In the A segment, we discuss Hugh Nibley's 1969 diatribe titled Science Fiction and the Gospel as well as the article that likely triggered his rage induced lecture. Then we move into our penultimate Approaching Zion discussion. Following that, we have some excellent news about Gen Z women leaving religion.

What good is a good sense of humour especially when the humour may be ethically questionable? Although humour seems a valuable part of a good conversation and indeed a good life, jokes have never seemed more morally problematic than they do now. How can we then evaluate quips, gibes, pranks, teasing, light mockery, sarcasm when they can all too often be mean, deceitful, disrespectful, humiliating, cruel? And how is a moral philosopher to evaluate such dilemmas without taking himself and morality too seriously or too lightly?  In Wisecracks: Humor and Morality in Everyday Life (University of Chicago Press, 2024), David W. Shoemaker considers the interplay between humor and morality. With wit and evident joy, Shoemaker considers how "wisecracks" between family and friends are of ethical value despite how morally suspect they may appear. In arguing for the moral status of a wisecrack or a joke as partly resting on the wisecracker's intentions and motives, Shoemaker goes on to show just how complicated and sometimes unwarranted the moral complaints against humor are, despite what many may think. Wisecracks may remain, at the book's end, far from benign or an unalloyed good, but unlike in Plato's ideal republic, Shoemaker is convinced we need to keep them coming.  Damian Maher is a fellow by examination at All Souls College, University of Oxford.

pdf, https://erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bitcoin-Meditations.pdf # Bitcoin Meditations I Shall Never Die Economic Armor *** Suit of armor, and formal suit? The virtues of working as a team? . A hybrid, a hybrid between the upside of nature, without any of the downsides? And also the upside of the city? So one thing that's super interesting is spending a little bit time here in the mountains, the quasi countryside is that something about the piece of the mornings is surprisingly wonderful and calming to me. At first, I thought it was kind of a gimmick to be out in nature or whatever, ironically enough, this is even coming from a Boy Scout's Eagle Scout. So on one hand, the issue with all these people trying to seek the wilderness I think is a form of escape. They don't like to be with themselves, so they try to get lost in nature to forget themselves. I think one of the things that a lot of these overly sentimental week wings suffer from that they think that somehow, nature is God and nature is supreme. As a consequence, they feel this strange guilt about being alive, resources, etc. But I find this to be ridiculous; The truth is, human beings we are supreme, and nature is our slave. To anybody who has made it a virtue that somehow we have to be subservient to nature, to me is kind of a weakling mentality.  the true man has made nature his slave, his pet thing. His matter and mold and clay for wild, fun and playful experimentation! I think the critical issue here is that people have no idea what to live for, whom to live for, etc. As a consequence, people spend a lot of their lives just wasting it, just wondering and meandering around, with zero insight about themselves, their personal role, their own personal philosophy, their own personal ethics ethos aesthetics and approach to life etc. And I think what a lot of these people also feel to understand is that there is no ultimate truth or true North to anything; life is like a wonderfully wild creative monster, a beast, full of chaos fun play enjoy. The Indonesian joy of radicalness, playful candor, and unreasonable art? ## I'm the new Nietzsche? Certainly everyone wants some sort of legacy, some see through their altruism and the virtuality, some try to do it like Mother Teresa, Gandhi etc., other people like Thich Nhat Hanh, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., etc. Other people tried to found religions like Saint Paul, Mohammad, Moses, the pharaohs of Egypt etc. I think Plato also tried to create a religion but failed. Same with Socrates and most of the ancient Greeks.

Monday, 11 November 2024   Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6   “Blessed – those famishing and thirsting righteousness, For they – they will be filled” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus spoke of the benignant inheriting the land. Now His words continue with, “Blessed – those famishing and thirsting righteousness.”   Despite most translations simply following one after the other with “hunger and thirst,” the verbs are present participles – “famishing and thirsting.” The word peinaó means to famish. To crave or hunger are only figurative meanings which cannot be the intent here.   Jesus is speaking of those who truly long for righteousness in a situation where it is obviously lacking. There is wickedness from above, and it comes from all sides. There is no place where it is not practiced. Like a man in a desert, he may hunger during the first days of his lack, but he eventually famishes over what he desires.   The thought is like that of Noah, who preached to a world of wickedness, longing for it to wake up from its slumber, but it was not realized. He was famished from the lack of it and his soul cried out to God over the state of the world. To supplement this and intensify it, the word dipsaó, to thirst, is added.   When facing hunger, it can be quelled temporarily with swallows of water. But when that is lacking, there is nothing to take away the agony of the human body. Jesus combines the two to show what a truly devout person longs for concerning such things. It is a hungering and thirsting with a fervent intensity.   This is something He was fully aware of, having come out of forty days and forty nights where He was deprived of the needs of the body. As it said after that time, “He was hungry.” However, despite His hunger, He craved righteousness even more than food. He wanted nothing more than to please His heavenly father and to fulfill all righteousness. Of such people, He next says, “For they – they will be filled.”   The word translated as filled, chortazó, is a word that actually signifies “to fodder,” as in grazing animals. It is used with a degree of contempt by Plato. Eventually, it came to generally signify satisfying a hunger. However, the earlier connotation would still exist in the minds of the people.   For example, we might say somewhat contemptuously of a large gathering, “Look at all those people grazing in the dining hall.” However, eventually, the word might be taken with a less sarcastic tone. And yet, we would still know the earlier meaning of what the word conveyed. This would be the thought conveyed with this word.   Jesus is saying that as a cow is fed in the stalls or is taken to the open field to dine, so would the people of God be fed with a continuous supply of righteousness. The lack they faced (again, think of Noah) will someday be replaced with an enormous abundance that will never cease as God leads His people, filling their true desire for His glorification.   The reason for this is that one can only truly hunger and thirst after these things when one has faith that God exists. Without that, any righteousness that fills the mind of the person is one that extends from himself and his idea of what righteousness means.   Life application: Depending on where you are in the world today, you will face varying degrees of unrighteousness. In Islamic countries, those who are not Muslims are forced to adhere to nutty laws that are derived from the Koran to some extent or another.   For those who live in Catholic nations, there is often a great tolerance for the allowance of other religions, and quite often, they synchronize with the Catholic doctrine, forming religions like Santa Ria. However, the overarching rule of Catholicism will take place. As its fundamental teachings are not in line with Scripture, those who hold to a truly literal interpretation of the Bible are actually outcasts.   In Western countries, moral perversion has almost completely taken over the thoughts of those in power. Those who speak against it are almost considered enemies of their own states. However, in hungering after what God's word says, and in thirsting after what it proclaims, they will someday be filled to overflowing with the goodness of what God has in store for them. As it says in Revelation. 7:16, “They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore.”   Hold on to the Lord and stand fast on His word. The time when wickedness shall be eliminated from this world is coming. Jesus will set all things right on that day.   Lord God, You have promised a better world to Your people. It will be a world where righteousness rules and where You alone will be exalted as the true and glorious leader of mankind. May that day be soon. Amen.

We're coming to the end of 2024 and if you still haven't reached your Fitness goals, this video is for you! Did you know that according to the National Institute of Health 42% of adults are obese? Are you one of them? Are you waiting until 2025 when the #1 New Year's resolution is to either get in shape or lose weight? Unfortunately, only about 8% succeed in that area. The best way to ensure that you will lose weight in 2025 is to start working on it now in 2024. In this video, I'm going to give you the 3 steps that I would take if I wanted to lose weight and get into shape by the end of the year. The 2rd step you probably never heard of.  When I was in the Navy, I indulged in the martial arts and other activities, so I was in very good condition and quite muscular at the time. At the tender age of 22, I was approached by one of my superior officers, who thought it was necessary to provide some unsolicited comments about my muscular physique and how by the time I reached his age of 26, I would no longer have that lean, muscular physique, I would start to look like him, out of shape and flabby. Well, decades later, I think back to that conversation and realize what he said as of this day never materialized. Why? because I made fitness a part of my life, and today, I'm going to share my expertise with you, so let's go!  #1 Don't Eat Three to Four Hours Before bedtime. Your metabolism slows down at night, and eating before bedtime forces your body to digest food when it is least efficient, meaning you will store extra calories as fat, and you are loading your body up with fuel that it does not have the capacity or time to burn. This one thing can cause weight gain, especially around the midsection which is the worse place to carry fat.  #2 Intermittent Fasting  In my Six Weeks to Fitness programs, I discuss and strongly encourage Intermittent Fasting for weight loss and to reduce chronic disease. Intermittent fasting is nothing new. For thousands of years, it has been utilized as a healing and spiritual practice. In recent years, fasting has taken on a new direction, one that has its focus on accelerating fat loss. With intermittent fasting, you not only losing weight, but you gain mental focus and clarity. For those of you who are not familiar with intermittent fasting, it is basically time restricted eating, in other words, you only eat during a specific time. So, it's not really dieting, it's just another pattern of eating, and just in case you are under the impression that you can't fast, think again. Every human being on this planet fasts. When you go to bed at night and wake up 6, 7, 8, or more hours later, you have fasted during that length of time, and when you eat your first meal, you are breaking the fast, and that's why it's called “breakfast.” There are various methods of intermittent fasting out there, but the most popular is the 16:8 intermittent fasting method. This method involves limiting your intake of foods and calorie-containing beverages to a set window of 8 hours per day. You abstain from food for the remaining 16 hours, though you're still allowed to drink water and other no-calorie beverages, like black coffee or tea (no crème or sugar). You can choose to start your fast at 8:00 p.m. in the evening and fast until the next day at 12:00 p.m. for a total of 16 hours, after which you break the fast with a light meal. You can eat regular meals during the 8 hours and start back on your fast at 8 p.m. What if the 16:8 intermittent fasting method doesn't work for you because of the long fasting hours? I would suggest you try 12:12, in other words try fasting for 12 hours and have an eating window of 12 hours. Over time your body will adjust to longer fasting hours such as 14:10, 16:8. Intermittent fasting places your body in fat burning mode during the fasting phase. The first nutrient your body uses for energy is carbs, followed by fat, then protein in that order. When you limit the amount of carbs for 16 hours, your body will seek out the next energy source which is fat, and that is why this type of weight loss program is so effective. Most people are not aware of the fact that the body heals itself while it's in a fasting state, which is another reason why you should fast. Let me read some quotes from some very famous historical figures from our past:  It was Plato, who said “I fast for greater physical and mental efficiency.” Benjamin Franklin  said “The best of all medicines is resting and fasting.” Why? You are allowing your body to rest and heal itself. Mark Twain who said "A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors." – #3 “Peak 8 High Intensity Interval Training”  High Intensity Interval training is a type of physical training that involves short bursts of high-intensity work mixed in with periods of low-intensity work. The high-intensity periods are typically near maximum exertion, while the recovery periods may involve rest or lower intensity. We have become accustomed to believing that doing some type of aerobic exercise for an hour or more is the best way to lose weight, but that's not the case. If you go to any gym the most used equipment is the cardio equipment and the people showing the least improvement in their body composition are the same people running on the cardio machines. If you're serious about losing weight and toning your body in a short amount of time, I highly recommend Peak 8 Interval Training. Every client I introduced to Peak 8 has seen positive results in a matter of a few short weeks and this is NO exaggeration. This activity will put your body in fat burning mode for hours after you complete the activity. In other words, you will continue burning calories for the rest of the day. Now that I “piqued” your interest into Peak 8 training, let's discuss how it is performed. You can perform this exercise while walking or running or if you prefer to use equipment, a treadmill, elliptical or stationary bicycle will do just fine. Peak 8 Start by warming up slowly for three minutes 30 seconds FLAT OUT sprint / 90 sec complete recovery (keep moving slowly) End with a two-minute cool down The actual sprinting totals only 4 minutes! This type of training will put your body in fat burning mode for hours after the workout and this is why it is one of the most important tools to have in your toolbox. There you have it! 3 Steps that are guaranteed to help you lose 10 pounds or more and will help you to get into shape before 2025. Don't be like everyone else waiting for January 1st only to be disappointed by February 1st, the time is now. Let me know what you think about these steps and if you tried them. There is so much we can do to improve our health naturally and quickly, regardless of your age. I am available for one on one coaching and virtual public speaking. I also have an ebook called Six Weeks to A Flatter Stomach, which is based on my very popular Six Weeks to Fitness programs. It comes with my personal money back guarantee. If you don't see a flatter stomach in 6 weeks, I will return your money no questions asked.  

This week, and in the next few weeks, the Dialectic goes to explore one of the most important texts in Marxian political economy in modern history: Knowledge and Class. The book, written in 1987 by Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff after decades of research and critical analysis, developed a new “non essentialist” Marxism. The Fundamental and Subsumed Framework, developed in this book, has been used to examine a host of economic settings and situations, including economic analyses of countries, and businesses. It is the method Prof Wolff uses to do economics.   About The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff. The show is dedicated to exploring Marxian theory. It utilizes the dialectical mode of reasoning, that is the method developed over the millennia by Plato and Aristotle, and continues to explore new dimensions of theory and praxis via a dialogue. The Marxist dialectic is a revolutionary dialectic that not only seeks to understand the world but rather to change it. In our discussions, the dialectic goes to work intending to solve the urgent life crises that we face as a global community.

“For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories. ” – Plato   In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:   Stories of overcoming adversity offer proof of the wisdom of Plato's words. Yes, the enemy is out there, be it on the battlefield or in the arena.  But the greatest victories we will ever win come from first confronting and defeating the limitations of our own hearts and minds. To conquer oneself is to transcend the limitations of ego, desire, and fear, and to attain a state of inner harmony and integrity. And that is, indeed, the noblest of all victories.   We talk about overcoming ourselves on today's podcast.    Resources + Links:   Connect with Kristofor | www.kristoforhealey.com Connect with Kristofor on Instagram | @team_healey Subscribe to The Stoic Responder on Substack | https://thestoicresponder.substack.com Subscribe to The Stoic Responder on YouTube | The Stoic Responder Buy your copy of In Valor: 365 Stoic Meditations for First Responders, here!

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of DFER and U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng interview Dr. Helen Baxendale, the chief of staff and vice president of strategy at Great Hearts Academies. Dr. Baxendale discusses how her global educational experiences inform her perspective on K-12 policy and Great Hearts' mission to integrate the humanities, math, and science for intellectual and character development. She explains how Great Hearts uses classical texts by Plato, Aristotle, and African-American thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois and MLK to teach justice and democracy amid today's social divisions. Dr. Baxendale also shares the school's approach to teacher preparation, navigating regulations, and competing in choice-rich, historically lower-performing NAEP states. She concludes with insights into the importance of the classical liberal arts for preparing students for both higher education and the workforce, and her vision for improving U.S. K-12 outcomes.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Or will we have chosen to send our Country and possibly the World into further decline? Today, my good friend Tom Hampson and I confront this thorny issue, examining the ripple effects of the abuse of language and the abuse of power and its effects on humanity, especially on children. We pull from the wisdom of Plato and Aristotle to underscore the indispensable role of truthful language in shaping a stable moral compass for future generations. Join us as we critique the erosion of truth in politics and education, where complex topics like gender identity challenge traditional narratives and leave parents navigating a labyrinth of moral relativism.By emphasizing the importance of speaking personal truths to our children, we explore the ways these social dynamics might foster a broader acceptance of moral relativism, shaping young minds in potentially hazardous ways.From political arenas to global institutions, our discussion extends to the cultural and spiritual dimensions of contemporary issues. Amidst these challenges, we urge a return to steadfast moral integrity and faith in the face of societal change, inviting listeners to consider the spiritual battle underlying these debates.(The Video-Podcast of this Episode will be available on Rumble.

The Ancient Greek concept of Daimon leads us to the genius, and later to the Guardian Angel, and as of today Spirit Guides. The work of Plato, from an amnesiac soul to its self-realized spiritual ascension, is today spoken about in the form of star seeds and ascension mysteries. Helana Blavatsky's channeling of the ‘mysterious Indian', known as Moray, along with Koot Humi, and Alice Bailey's channeling of Djwal Khul, have taken us to the channeling of Ashtar by George van Tassel, or the various contacts made by Aleister Crowley of Lam, Aiwass, and the Red Lady, and further of every person today with a cell phone camera who channels interdimensional aliens. Crowley also famously ripped off the Golden Dawn society and then profited from its exploitation, commercializing his new product while promoting self-indulgence - instead of sacrifice - the killing of all old gods, and the placement of the self above all else. Considering his work with British intelligence it is curious how his conceptions of new age religion are also found within the post-modernist progressive movements of today. In fact, theosophists like CW Leadbeater, who showed young boys how to masturbate, Anna Kingsford, a huge woman's right activist, engaged in magical murder, claiming to be a psychic killer, and both Edward Maitland and Samuel Mathers, who advocated for a vegetarian diet and animal rights, all pushed the very foundational elements of modern progressivism and new age magic, even if by mere accident or misunderstanding. Contemporary frauds like David Wilcock advocate for the abolishment of due process of law, saying we should lock away all bad actors who will be defined by secret sources. And the outrageous science-fiction claims of Corey Goode have set back legitimately spiritual conversations and ufological investigation by maybe decades. From Paul Benowitz being driven mad by the military and intelligence community with fake alien stories, to Robert Short stealing George's Ashtar Command for commercialized sell, to the exploitation of naive and vulnerable frauds like Jordan Sather or senile frauds like Pete Peterson, we have seen the building of a DARK FLEET SPHERE BEING ALLIANCE OF BLUE CHICKENS AND SECRET SPACE PROGRAM SUPER SOLDIERS, a.k.a., the SDSSP, Super Duper Secret Space Program. -FULL ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early & ad-free show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings-with-ryan-gable--5328407/support.

This is the introduction to my latest addition for the "Technology and Nihilism" series on my AthensCorner.com website.In moving from Thucydides to Aristotle and Heidegger, here I discuss the importance of Plato and Aristotle for any and all accounts of the things we all too casually refer to as "technology" and "science" as if we fully understand them.At issue in this discussion is the unfolding of what it means for man to be the creature of speech, the creature of logos, and what that means for our pursuit of knowledge which we refer to as "science" and its counterpart "technology." This unfolding entails, among other things:(1) The significance of rhetoric for philosophy in Plato, Aristotle, and Heidegger(2) The contours of what is meant by the beautiful, the just, and the good with respect to the soul of man and its relation to, first, being and, second, the possibility of articulating that relation of soul and being for the flourishing of political community.(3) The unity and diversity of so-called "practical" and "theoretical" knowledge in the various fields of knowledge.(4) The hierarchy of pleasures attendant in the distinguishing of mind and passion in the soul of man attendant upon any clarified understanding of the beautiful.(5) The significance of number in both Plato and Aristotle for virtue in the attempt to clarify the good life.(6) The way in which all of the above informs the various "return" movements to the Greeks in postmodern philosophy, whether of Nietzsche, Heidegger, or Leo Strauss

Vast economic inequality is actually a very old problem, and many of the world's greatest thinkers have had something to say about it—including Jesus and Plato, Adam Smith, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill and others. They had ideas on how to take on the oligarchies of their time that we can learn from today. David Lay Williams discusses his new book "The Greatest of All Plagues."
