“Made perfect.” — Hebrews 12:23 Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which the Christian needs — the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification wrought in him by the Holy Spirit.

We Recollect For the session to be discussed on March 9, 2025 Deuteronomy 26:1-11 David Cassady Nikki Hardeman Jaylen Peabody Smith David Adams Daniel Glaze The central discussion for this episode centers around the concept of ‘recollecting,' which involves deliberately revisiting and gathering memories to understand God's ongoing work in their lives. Personal anecdotes are […]

In this episode, we listen to a intriguing conversation, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Kalithogai 113, penned by Chozhan Nalluruthiran. The verse is situated in the 'Mullai' or 'Forest Landscape' and presents hidden layers in the relationship of a man and his lady.

With this and that I tried to keep the bucket together, and then the bottom fell out.Where the water does not collect, the moon does not dwell.—ChiyonoThis is the awakening poem of Chiyono, a Japanese Zen practitioner in the early 17th Century. The poem comes after a much longer story about this person's path of practice. In the story, Chiyono has a sincere aspiration to practice the dharma, but isn't able to spend a lot of time in formal meditation practice because of her work responsibilities.She seeks out an elder nun at the local convent—and though she is full of self-doubt, she expresses to the nun her aspiration to practice the dharma, as well as her situation and self-doubt. The nun meets her with reassurance, she affirms Chiyono's aspiration and tells her that there is a path of practice that she can do—even if she doesn't have time for a lot of formal practice.The nun gives Chiyono these instructions:* Affirm your sincere aspiration to awaken* Cultivate compassion for all beings* Recollect that you are complete as you are* Recognize delusive thoughts, and look into their sourceThis dharma talk/podcast episode was recorded on during the weekly Monday Night Meditation & Dharma event (learn more below). In this dharma talk I explore practices for looking into the source of thoughts. This is a vital practice that has the ability to completely change our relationship to thoughts and the power that they can have over us.What are thoughts made of?What happens when you take thoughts as the object of attention?Or trace thoughts back and feel the sensations/emotions in your body?To look into our thoughts is a courageous practice, to feel our feelings directly unmeditated by thought is also a courageous practice. Doing it can help us recognize the spaciousness and clarity of Mind's nature. Doing it can awaken the heart of compassion.How much energy do we spend using thoughts to patch together this bucket of self?How much energy do we use trying to prove that we are unworthy, unloveable, undeserving?What if instead of believing these lies about ourselves, we looked into the nature of these thoughts? What if we began to truly trust that we and all beings are complete as we are?While sitting meditation can be a great support for looking into the source of our thoughts, this is a practice we can do throughout the day—try it, its empowering!….I'm Amy Kisei.

1. Discouragement is part of ministryFacing discouragement is normal in all ministries. Something is off if someone in ministry claims to be on a perpetual high. If you are feeling discouraged, you are not alone.2 . Remember How God has worked in your lifeHe saved you, called you, gifted you, prepared you, shaped you, and used you. Recollect those times when God's work through you has been clear and evident.3. Identify the actual standard for your ministryIt is so easy to start feeling pressured by standards that God is not holding you up against. God is not expecting you to be someone else. He wants you to be you. Empowered, growing, improving, but still you.4. Who should you please?You cannot keep everyone happy all the time. You may preach with great sensitivity and still step on some toes.5. Pray, prepare and preachWhat do we discover if we take stock of your lifetime of sermons and add them to mine and a few others?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.06.547911v1?rss=1 Authors: van den Berg, A. R., Roelfsema, P. R., Bohte, S. M. Abstract: The acquisition of knowledge does not occur in isolation; rather, learning experiences in the same or similar domains amalgamate. This process through which learning can accelerate over time is referred to as learning-to-learn or meta-learning. While meta-learning can be implemented in recurrent neural networks, these networks tend to be trained with architectures that are not easily interpretable or mappable to the brain and with learning rules that are biologically implausible. Specifically, these rules employ backpropagation-through-time for learning, which relies on information that is unavailable at synapses that are undergoing plasticity in the brain. While memory models that exclusively use local information for their weight updates have been developed, they have limited capacity to integrate information over long timespans and therefore cannot easily learn-to-learn. Here, we propose a novel gated recurrent network named RECOLLECT, which can flexibly retain or forget information by means of a single memory gate and biologically plausible trial-and-error-learning that requires only local information. We demonstrate that RECOLLECT successfully learns to represent task-relevant information over increasingly long memory delays in a pro-/anti-saccade task, and that it learns to flush its memory at the end of a trial. Moreover, we show that RECOLLECT can learn-to-learn an effective policy on a reversal bandit task. Finally, we show that the solutions acquired by RECOLLECT resemble how animals learn similar tasks.

It was in the fourth year of my apprenticeship to Joe, and it was a Saturday night. There was a group assembled round the fire at the Three Jolly Bargemen, attentive to Mr. Wopsle as he read the newspaper aloud. Of that group I was one.A highly popular murder had been committed, and Mr. Wopsle was imbrued in blood to the eyebrows. He gloated over every abhorrent adjective in the description, and identified himself with every witness at the Inquest. He faintly moaned, “I am done for,” as the victim, and he barbarously bellowed, “I'll serve you out,” as the murderer. He gave the medical testimony, in pointed imitation of our local practitioner; and he piped and shook, as the aged turnpike-keeper who had heard blows, to an extent so very paralytic as to suggest a doubt regarding the mental competency of that witness. The coroner, in Mr. Wopsle's hands, became Timon of Athens; the beadle, Coriolanus. He enjoyed himself thoroughly, and we all enjoyed ourselves, and were delightfully comfortable. In this cosy state of mind we came to the verdict Wilful Murder.Then, and not sooner, I became aware of a strange gentleman leaning over the back of the settle opposite me, looking on. There was an expression of contempt on his face, and he bit the side of a great forefinger as he watched the group of faces.“Well!” said the stranger to Mr. Wopsle, when the reading was done, “you have settled it all to your own satisfaction, I have no doubt?”Everybody started and looked up, as if it were the murderer. He looked at everybody coldly and sarcastically.“Guilty, of course?” said he. “Out with it. Come!”“Sir,” returned Mr. Wopsle, “without having the honor of your acquaintance, I do say Guilty.” Upon this we all took courage to unite in a confirmatory murmur.“I know you do,” said the stranger; “I knew you would. I told you so. But now I'll ask you a question. Do you know, or do you not know, that the law of England supposes every man to be innocent, until he is proved⁠—proved⁠—to be guilty?”“Sir,” Mr. Wopsle began to reply, “as an Englishman myself, I⁠—”“Come!” said the stranger, biting his forefinger at him. “Don't evade the question. Either you know it, or you don't know it. Which is it to be?”He stood with his head on one side and himself on one side, in a bullying, interrogative manner, and he threw his forefinger at Mr. Wopsle⁠—as it were to mark him out⁠—before biting it again.“Now!” said he. “Do you know it, or don't you know it?”“Certainly I know it,” replied Mr. Wopsle.“Certainly you know it. Then why didn't you say so at first? Now, I'll ask you another question,”⁠—taking possession of Mr. Wopsle, as if he had a right to him⁠—“do you know that none of these witnesses have yet been cross-examined?”Mr. Wopsle was beginning, “I can only say⁠—” when the stranger stopped him.“What? You won't answer the question, yes or no? Now, I'll try you again.” Throwing his finger at him again. “Attend to me. Are you aware, or are you not aware, that none of these witnesses have yet been cross-examined? Come, I only want one word from you. Yes, or no?”Mr. Wopsle hesitated, and we all began to conceive rather a poor opinion of him.“Come!” said the stranger, “I'll help you. You don't deserve help, but I'll help you. Look at that paper you hold in your hand. What is it?”“What is it?” repeated Mr. Wopsle, eyeing it, much at a loss.“Is it,” pursued the stranger in his most sarcastic and suspicious manner, “the printed paper you have just been reading from?”“Undoubtedly.”“Undoubtedly. Now, turn to that paper, and tell me whether it distinctly states that the prisoner expressly said that his legal advisers instructed him altogether to reserve his defence?”“I read that just now,” Mr. Wopsle pleaded.“Never mind what you read just now, sir; I don't ask you what you read just now. You may read the Lord's Prayer backwards, if you like⁠—and, perhaps, have done it before today. Turn to the paper. No, no, no my friend; not to the top of the column; you know better than that; to the bottom, to the bottom.” (We all began to think Mr. Wopsle full of subterfuge.) “Well? Have you found it?”“Here it is,” said Mr. Wopsle.“Now, follow that passage with your eye, and tell me whether it distinctly states that the prisoner expressly said that he was instructed by his legal advisers wholly to reserve his defence? Come! Do you make that of it?”Mr. Wopsle answered, “Those are not the exact words.”“Not the exact words!” repeated the gentleman bitterly. “Is that the exact substance?”“Yes,” said Mr. Wopsle.“Yes,” repeated the stranger, looking round at the rest of the company with his right hand extended towards the witness, Wopsle. “And now I ask you what you say to the conscience of that man who, with that passage before his eyes, can lay his head upon his pillow after having pronounced a fellow-creature guilty, unheard?”We all began to suspect that Mr. Wopsle was not the man we had thought him, and that he was beginning to be found out.“And that same man, remember,” pursued the gentleman, throwing his finger at Mr. Wopsle heavily⁠—“that same man might be summoned as a juryman upon this very trial, and, having thus deeply committed himself, might return to the bosom of his family and lay his head upon his pillow, after deliberately swearing that he would well and truly try the issue joined between Our Sovereign Lord the King and the prisoner at the bar, and would a true verdict give according to the evidence, so help him God!”We were all deeply persuaded that the unfortunate Wopsle had gone too far, and had better stop in his reckless career while there was yet time.The strange gentleman, with an air of authority not to be disputed, and with a manner expressive of knowing something secret about everyone of us that would effectually do for each individual if he chose to disclose it, left the back of the settle, and came into the space between the two settles, in front of the fire, where he remained standing, his left hand in his pocket, and he biting the forefinger of his right.“From information I have received,” said he, looking round at us as we all quailed before him, “I have reason to believe there is a blacksmith among you, by name Joseph⁠—or Joe⁠—Gargery. Which is the man?”“Here is the man,” said Joe.The strange gentleman beckoned him out of his place, and Joe went.“You have an apprentice,” pursued the stranger, “commonly known as Pip? Is he here?”“I am here!” I cried.The stranger did not recognize me, but I recognized him as the gentleman I had met on the stairs, on the occasion of my second visit to Miss Havisham. I had known him the moment I saw him looking over the settle, and now that I stood confronting him with his hand upon my shoulder, I checked off again in detail his large head, his dark complexion, his deep-set eyes, his bushy black eyebrows, his large watch-chain, his strong black dots of beard and whisker, and even the smell of scented soap on his great hand.“I wish to have a private conference with you two,” said he, when he had surveyed me at his leisure. “It will take a little time. Perhaps we had better go to your place of residence. I prefer not to anticipate my communication here; you will impart as much or as little of it as you please to your friends afterwards; I have nothing to do with that.”Amidst a wondering silence, we three walked out of the Jolly Bargemen, and in a wondering silence walked home. While going along, the strange gentleman occasionally looked at me, and occasionally bit the side of his finger. As we neared home, Joe vaguely acknowledging the occasion as an impressive and ceremonious one, went on ahead to open the front door. Our conference was held in the state parlor, which was feebly lighted by one candle.It began with the strange gentleman's sitting down at the table, drawing the candle to him, and looking over some entries in his pocketbook. He then put up the pocketbook and set the candle a little aside, after peering round it into the darkness at Joe and me, to ascertain which was which.“My name,” he said, “is Jaggers, and I am a lawyer in London. I am pretty well known. I have unusual business to transact with you, and I commence by explaining that it is not of my originating. If my advice had been asked, I should not have been here. It was not asked, and you see me here. What I have to do as the confidential agent of another, I do. No less, no more.”Finding that he could not see us very well from where he sat, he got up, and threw one leg over the back of a chair and leaned upon it; thus having one foot on the seat of the chair, and one foot on the ground.“Now, Joseph Gargery, I am the bearer of an offer to relieve you of this young fellow your apprentice. You would not object to cancel his indentures at his request and for his good? You would want nothing for so doing?”“Lord forbid that I should want anything for not standing in Pip's way,” said Joe, staring.“Lord forbidding is pious, but not to the purpose,” returned Mr. Jaggers. “The question is, Would you want anything? Do you want anything?”“The answer is,” returned Joe, sternly, “No.”I thought Mr. Jaggers glanced at Joe, as if he considered him a fool for his disinterestedness. But I was too much bewildered between breathless curiosity and surprise, to be sure of it.“Very well,” said Mr. Jaggers. “Recollect the admission you have made, and don't try to go from it presently.”“Who's a going to try?” retorted Joe.“I don't say anybody is. Do you keep a dog?”“Yes, I do keep a dog.”“Bear in mind then, that Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better. Bear that in mind, will you?” repeated Mr. Jaggers, shutting his eyes and nodding his head at Joe, as if he were forgiving him something. “Now, I return to this young fellow. And the communication I have got to make is, that he has great expectations.”Joe and I gasped, and looked at one another.“I am instructed to communicate to him,” said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at me sideways, “that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that it is the desire of the present possessor of that property, that he be immediately removed from his present sphere of life and from this place, and be brought up as a gentleman⁠—in a word, as a young fellow of great expectations.”My dream was out; my wild fancy was surpassed by sober reality; Miss Havisham was going to make my fortune on a grand scale.“Now, Mr. Pip,” pursued the lawyer, “I address the rest of what I have to say, to you. You are to understand, first, that it is the request of the person from whom I take my instructions that you always bear the name of Pip. You will have no objection, I dare say, to your great expectations being encumbered with that easy condition. But if you have any objection, this is the time to mention it.”My heart was beating so fast, and there was such a singing in my ears, that I could scarcely stammer I had no objection.“I should think not! Now you are to understand, secondly, Mr. Pip, that the name of the person who is your liberal benefactor remains a profound secret, until the person chooses to reveal it. I am empowered to mention that it is the intention of the person to reveal it at first hand by word of mouth to yourself. When or where that intention may be carried out, I cannot say; no one can say. It may be years hence. Now, you are distinctly to understand that you are most positively prohibited from making any inquiry on this head, or any allusion or reference, however distant, to any individual whomsoever as the individual, in all the communications you may have with me. If you have a suspicion in your own breast, keep that suspicion in your own breast. It is not the least to the purpose what the reasons of this prohibition are; they may be the strongest and gravest reasons, or they may be mere whim. This is not for you to inquire into. The condition is laid down. Your acceptance of it, and your observance of it as binding, is the only remaining condition that I am charged with, by the person from whom I take my instructions, and for whom I am not otherwise responsible. That person is the person from whom you derive your expectations, and the secret is solely held by that person and by me. Again, not a very difficult condition with which to encumber such a rise in fortune; but if you have any objection to it, this is the time to mention it. Speak out.”Once more, I stammered with difficulty that I had no objection.“I should think not! Now, Mr. Pip, I have done with stipulations.” Though he called me Mr. Pip, and began rather to make up to me, he still could not get rid of a certain air of bullying suspicion; and even now he occasionally shut his eyes and threw his finger at me while he spoke, as much as to express that he knew all kinds of things to my disparagement, if he only chose to mention them. “We come next, to mere details of arrangement. You must know that, although I have used the term ‘expectations' more than once, you are not endowed with expectations only. There is already lodged in my hands a sum of money amply sufficient for your suitable education and maintenance. You will please consider me your guardian. Oh!” for I was going to thank him, “I tell you at once, I am paid for my services, or I shouldn't render them. It is considered that you must be better educated, in accordance with your altered position, and that you will be alive to the importance and necessity of at once entering on that advantage.”I said I had always longed for it.“Never mind what you have always longed for, Mr. Pip,” he retorted; “keep to the record. If you long for it now, that's enough. Am I answered that you are ready to be placed at once under some proper tutor? Is that it?”I stammered yes, that was it.“Good. Now, your inclinations are to be consulted. I don't think that wise, mind, but it's my trust. Have you ever heard of any tutor whom you would prefer to another?”I had never heard of any tutor but Biddy and Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt; so, I replied in the negative.“There is a certain tutor, of whom I have some knowledge, who I think might suit the purpose,” said Mr. Jaggers. “I don't recommend him, observe; because I never recommend anybody. The gentleman I speak of is one Mr. Matthew Pocket.”Ah! I caught at the name directly. Miss Havisham's relation. The Matthew whom Mr. and Mrs. Camilla had spoken of. The Matthew whose place was to be at Miss Havisham's head, when she lay dead, in her bride's dress on the bride's table.“You know the name?” said Mr. Jaggers, looking shrewdly at me, and then shutting up his eyes while he waited for my answer.My answer was, that I had heard of the name.“Oh!” said he. “You have heard of the name. But the question is, what do you say of it?”I said, or tried to say, that I was much obliged to him for his recommendation⁠—“No, my young friend!” he interrupted, shaking his great head very slowly. “Recollect yourself!”Not recollecting myself, I began again that I was much obliged to him for his recommendation⁠—“No, my young friend,” he interrupted, shaking his head and frowning and smiling both at once⁠—“no, no, no; it's very well done, but it won't do; you are too young to fix me with it. Recommendation is not the word, Mr. Pip. Try another.”Correcting myself, I said that I was much obliged to him for his mention of Mr. Matthew Pocket⁠—“That's more like it!” cried Mr. Jaggers.⁠—And (I added), I would gladly try that gentleman.“Good. You had better try him in his own house. The way shall be prepared for you, and you can see his son first, who is in London. When will you come to London?”I said (glancing at Joe, who stood looking on, motionless), that I supposed I could come directly.“First,” said Mr. Jaggers, “you should have some new clothes to come in, and they should not be working-clothes. Say this day week. You'll want some money. Shall I leave you twenty guineas?”He produced a long purse, with the greatest coolness, and counted them out on the table and pushed them over to me. This was the first time he had taken his leg from the chair. He sat astride of the chair when he had pushed the money over, and sat swinging his purse and eyeing Joe.“Well, Joseph Gargery? You look dumbfoundered?”“I am!” said Joe, in a very decided manner.“It was understood that you wanted nothing for yourself, remember?”“It were understood,” said Joe. “And it are understood. And it ever will be similar according.”“But what,” said Mr. Jaggers, swinging his purse⁠—“what if it was in my instructions to make you a present, as compensation?”“As compensation what for?” Joe demanded.“For the loss of his services.”Joe laid his hand upon my shoulder with the touch of a woman. I have often thought him since, like the steam-hammer that can crush a man or pat an eggshell, in his combination of strength with gentleness. “Pip is that hearty welcome,” said Joe, “to go free with his services, to honor and fortun', as no words can tell him. But if you think as Money can make compensation to me for the loss of the little child⁠—what come to the forge⁠—and ever the best of friends!⁠—”O dear good Joe, whom I was so ready to leave and so unthankful to, I see you again, with your muscular blacksmith's arm before your eyes, and your broad chest heaving, and your voice dying away. O dear good faithful tender Joe, I feel the loving tremble of your hand upon my arm, as solemnly this day as if it had been the rustle of an angel's wing!But I encouraged Joe at the time. I was lost in the mazes of my future fortunes, and could not retrace the bypaths we had trodden together. I begged Joe to be comforted, for (as he said) we had ever been the best of friends, and (as I said) we ever would be so. Joe scooped his eyes with his disengaged wrist, as if he were bent on gouging himself, but said not another word.Mr. Jaggers had looked on at this, as one who recognized in Joe the village idiot, and in me his keeper. When it was over, he said, weighing in his hand the purse he had ceased to swing:⁠—“Now, Joseph Gargery, I warn you this is your last chance. No half measures with me. If you mean to take a present that I have it in charge to make you, speak out, and you shall have it. If on the contrary you mean to say⁠—” Here, to his great amazement, he was stopped by Joe's suddenly working round him with every demonstration of a fell pugilistic purpose.“Which I meantersay,” cried Joe, “that if you come into my place bull-baiting and badgering me, come out! Which I meantersay as sech if you're a man, come on! Which I meantersay that what I say, I meantersay and stand or fall by!”I drew Joe away, and he immediately became placable; merely stating to me, in an obliging manner and as a polite expostulatory notice to anyone whom it might happen to concern, that he were not a going to be bull-baited and badgered in his own place. Mr. Jaggers had risen when Joe demonstrated, and had backed near the door. Without evincing any inclination to come in again, he there delivered his valedictory remarks. They were these.“Well, Mr. Pip, I think the sooner you leave here⁠—as you are to be a gentleman⁠—the better. Let it stand for this day week, and you shall receive my printed address in the meantime. You can take a hackney-coach at the stagecoach office in London, and come straight to me. Understand, that I express no opinion, one way or other, on the trust I undertake. I am paid for undertaking it, and I do so. Now, understand that, finally. Understand that!”He was throwing his finger at both of us, and I think would have gone on, but for his seeming to think Joe dangerous, and going off.Something came into my head which induced me to run after him, as he was going down to the Jolly Bargemen, where he had left a hired carriage.“I beg your pardon, Mr. Jaggers.”“Halloa!” said he, facing round, “what's the matter?”“I wish to be quite right, Mr. Jaggers, and to keep to your directions; so I thought I had better ask. Would there be any objection to my taking leave of anyone I know, about here, before I go away?”“No,” said he, looking as if he hardly understood me.“I don't mean in the village only, but up town?”“No,” said he. “No objection.”I thanked him and ran home again, and there I found that Joe had already locked the front door and vacated the state parlor, and was seated by the kitchen fire with a hand on each knee, gazing intently at the burning coals. I too sat down before the fire and gazed at the coals, and nothing was said for a long time.My sister was in her cushioned chair in her corner, and Biddy sat at her needlework before the fire, and Joe sat next Biddy, and I sat next Joe in the corner opposite my sister. The more I looked into the glowing coals, the more incapable I became of looking at Joe; the longer the silence lasted, the more unable I felt to speak.At length I got out, “Joe, have you told Biddy?”“No, Pip,” returned Joe, still looking at the fire, and holding his knees tight, as if he had private information that they intended to make off somewhere, “which I left it to yourself, Pip.”“I would rather you told, Joe.”“Pip's a gentleman of fortun' then,” said Joe, “and God bless him in it!”Biddy dropped her work, and looked at me. Joe held his knees and looked at me. I looked at both of them. After a pause, they both heartily congratulated me; but there was a certain touch of sadness in their congratulations that I rather resented.I took it upon myself to impress Biddy (and through Biddy, Joe) with the grave obligation I considered my friends under, to know nothing and say nothing about the maker of my fortune. It would all come out in good time, I observed, and in the meanwhile nothing was to be said, save that I had come into great expectations from a mysterious patron. Biddy nodded her head thoughtfully at the fire as she took up her work again, and said she would be very particular; and Joe, still detaining his knees, said, “Ay, ay, I'll be ekervally partickler, Pip;” and then they congratulated me again, and went on to express so much wonder at the notion of my being a gentleman that I didn't half like it.Infinite pains were then taken by Biddy to convey to my sister some idea of what had happened. To the best of my belief, those efforts entirely failed. She laughed and nodded her head a great many times, and even repeated after Biddy, the words “Pip” and “Property.” But I doubt if they had more meaning in them than an election cry, and I cannot suggest a darker picture of her state of mind.I never could have believed it without experience, but as Joe and Biddy became more at their cheerful ease again, I became quite gloomy. Dissatisfied with my fortune, of course I could not be; but it is possible that I may have been, without quite knowing it, dissatisfied with myself.Anyhow, I sat with my elbow on my knee and my face upon my hand, looking into the fire, as those two talked about my going away, and about what they should do without me, and all that. And whenever I caught one of them looking at me, though never so pleasantly (and they often looked at me⁠—particularly Biddy), I felt offended: as if they were expressing some mistrust of me. Though Heaven knows they never did by word or sign.At those times I would get up and look out at the door; for our kitchen door opened at once upon the night, and stood open on summer evenings to air the room. The very stars to which I then raised my eyes, I am afraid I took to be but poor and humble stars for glittering on the rustic objects among which I had passed my life.“Saturday night,” said I, when we sat at our supper of bread and cheese and beer. “Five more days, and then the day before the day! They'll soon go.”“Yes, Pip,” observed Joe, whose voice sounded hollow in his beer-mug. “They'll soon go.”“Soon, soon go,” said Biddy.“I have been thinking, Joe, that when I go down town on Monday, and order my new clothes, I shall tell the tailor that I'll come and put them on there, or that I'll have them sent to Mr. Pumblechook's. It would be very disagreeable to be stared at by all the people here.”“Mr. and Mrs. Hubble might like to see you in your new genteel figure too, Pip,” said Joe, industriously cutting his bread, with his cheese on it, in the palm of his left hand, and glancing at my untasted supper as if he thought of the time when we used to compare slices. “So might Wopsle. And the Jolly Bargemen might take it as a compliment.”“That's just what I don't want, Joe. They would make such a business of it⁠—such a coarse and common business⁠—that I couldn't bear myself.”“Ah, that indeed, Pip!” said Joe. “If you couldn't abear yourself⁠—”Biddy asked me here, as she sat holding my sister's plate, “Have you thought about when you'll show yourself to Mr. Gargery, and your sister and me? You will show yourself to us; won't you?”“Biddy,” I returned with some resentment, “you are so exceedingly quick that it's difficult to keep up with you.”(“She always were quick,” observed Joe.)“If you had waited another moment, Biddy, you would have heard me say that I shall bring my clothes here in a bundle one evening⁠—most likely on the evening before I go away.”Biddy said no more. Handsomely forgiving her, I soon exchanged an affectionate good night with her and Joe, and went up to bed. When I got into my little room, I sat down and took a long look at it, as a mean little room that I should soon be parted from and raised above, forever. It was furnished with fresh young remembrances too, and even at the same moment I fell into much the same confused division of mind between it and the better rooms to which I was going, as I had been in so often between the forge and Miss Havisham's, and Biddy and Estella.The sun had been shining brightly all day on the roof of my attic, and the room was warm. As I put the window open and stood looking out, I saw Joe come slowly forth at the dark door, below, and take a turn or two in the air; and then I saw Biddy come, and bring him a pipe and light it for him. He never smoked so late, and it seemed to hint to me that he wanted comforting, for some reason or other.He presently stood at the door immediately beneath me, smoking his pipe, and Biddy stood there too, quietly talking to him, and I knew that they talked of me, for I heard my name mentioned in an endearing tone by both of them more than once. I would not have listened for more, if I could have heard more; so I drew away from the window, and sat down in my one chair by the bedside, feeling it very sorrowful and strange that this first night of my bright fortunes should be the loneliest I had ever known.Looking towards the open window, I saw light wreaths from Joe's pipe floating there, and I fancied it was like a blessing from Joe⁠—not obtruded on me or paraded before me, but pervading the air we shared together. I put my light out, and crept into bed; and it was an uneasy bed now, and I never slept the old sound sleep in it any more. This is a public episode.

It was in the fourth year of my apprenticeship to Joe, and it was a Saturday night. There was a group assembled round the fire at the Three Jolly Bargemen, attentive to Mr. Wopsle as he read the newspaper aloud. Of that group I was one.A highly popular murder had been committed, and Mr. Wopsle was imbrued in blood to the eyebrows. He gloated over every abhorrent adjective in the description, and identified himself with every witness at the Inquest. He faintly moaned, “I am done for,” as the victim, and he barbarously bellowed, “I'll serve you out,” as the murderer. He gave the medical testimony, in pointed imitation of our local practitioner; and he piped and shook, as the aged turnpike-keeper who had heard blows, to an extent so very paralytic as to suggest a doubt regarding the mental competency of that witness. The coroner, in Mr. Wopsle's hands, became Timon of Athens; the beadle, Coriolanus. He enjoyed himself thoroughly, and we all enjoyed ourselves, and were delightfully comfortable. In this cosy state of mind we came to the verdict Wilful Murder.Then, and not sooner, I became aware of a strange gentleman leaning over the back of the settle opposite me, looking on. There was an expression of contempt on his face, and he bit the side of a great forefinger as he watched the group of faces.“Well!” said the stranger to Mr. Wopsle, when the reading was done, “you have settled it all to your own satisfaction, I have no doubt?”Everybody started and looked up, as if it were the murderer. He looked at everybody coldly and sarcastically.“Guilty, of course?” said he. “Out with it. Come!”“Sir,” returned Mr. Wopsle, “without having the honor of your acquaintance, I do say Guilty.” Upon this we all took courage to unite in a confirmatory murmur.“I know you do,” said the stranger; “I knew you would. I told you so. But now I'll ask you a question. Do you know, or do you not know, that the law of England supposes every man to be innocent, until he is proved⁠—proved⁠—to be guilty?”“Sir,” Mr. Wopsle began to reply, “as an Englishman myself, I⁠—”“Come!” said the stranger, biting his forefinger at him. “Don't evade the question. Either you know it, or you don't know it. Which is it to be?”He stood with his head on one side and himself on one side, in a bullying, interrogative manner, and he threw his forefinger at Mr. Wopsle⁠—as it were to mark him out⁠—before biting it again.“Now!” said he. “Do you know it, or don't you know it?”“Certainly I know it,” replied Mr. Wopsle.“Certainly you know it. Then why didn't you say so at first? Now, I'll ask you another question,”⁠—taking possession of Mr. Wopsle, as if he had a right to him⁠—“do you know that none of these witnesses have yet been cross-examined?”Mr. Wopsle was beginning, “I can only say⁠—” when the stranger stopped him.“What? You won't answer the question, yes or no? Now, I'll try you again.” Throwing his finger at him again. “Attend to me. Are you aware, or are you not aware, that none of these witnesses have yet been cross-examined? Come, I only want one word from you. Yes, or no?”Mr. Wopsle hesitated, and we all began to conceive rather a poor opinion of him.“Come!” said the stranger, “I'll help you. You don't deserve help, but I'll help you. Look at that paper you hold in your hand. What is it?”“What is it?” repeated Mr. Wopsle, eyeing it, much at a loss.“Is it,” pursued the stranger in his most sarcastic and suspicious manner, “the printed paper you have just been reading from?”“Undoubtedly.”“Undoubtedly. Now, turn to that paper, and tell me whether it distinctly states that the prisoner expressly said that his legal advisers instructed him altogether to reserve his defence?”“I read that just now,” Mr. Wopsle pleaded.“Never mind what you read just now, sir; I don't ask you what you read just now. You may read the Lord's Prayer backwards, if you like⁠—and, perhaps, have done it before today. Turn to the paper. No, no, no my friend; not to the top of the column; you know better than that; to the bottom, to the bottom.” (We all began to think Mr. Wopsle full of subterfuge.) “Well? Have you found it?”“Here it is,” said Mr. Wopsle.“Now, follow that passage with your eye, and tell me whether it distinctly states that the prisoner expressly said that he was instructed by his legal advisers wholly to reserve his defence? Come! Do you make that of it?”Mr. Wopsle answered, “Those are not the exact words.”“Not the exact words!” repeated the gentleman bitterly. “Is that the exact substance?”“Yes,” said Mr. Wopsle.“Yes,” repeated the stranger, looking round at the rest of the company with his right hand extended towards the witness, Wopsle. “And now I ask you what you say to the conscience of that man who, with that passage before his eyes, can lay his head upon his pillow after having pronounced a fellow-creature guilty, unheard?”We all began to suspect that Mr. Wopsle was not the man we had thought him, and that he was beginning to be found out.“And that same man, remember,” pursued the gentleman, throwing his finger at Mr. Wopsle heavily⁠—“that same man might be summoned as a juryman upon this very trial, and, having thus deeply committed himself, might return to the bosom of his family and lay his head upon his pillow, after deliberately swearing that he would well and truly try the issue joined between Our Sovereign Lord the King and the prisoner at the bar, and would a true verdict give according to the evidence, so help him God!”We were all deeply persuaded that the unfortunate Wopsle had gone too far, and had better stop in his reckless career while there was yet time.The strange gentleman, with an air of authority not to be disputed, and with a manner expressive of knowing something secret about everyone of us that would effectually do for each individual if he chose to disclose it, left the back of the settle, and came into the space between the two settles, in front of the fire, where he remained standing, his left hand in his pocket, and he biting the forefinger of his right.“From information I have received,” said he, looking round at us as we all quailed before him, “I have reason to believe there is a blacksmith among you, by name Joseph⁠—or Joe⁠—Gargery. Which is the man?”“Here is the man,” said Joe.The strange gentleman beckoned him out of his place, and Joe went.“You have an apprentice,” pursued the stranger, “commonly known as Pip? Is he here?”“I am here!” I cried.The stranger did not recognize me, but I recognized him as the gentleman I had met on the stairs, on the occasion of my second visit to Miss Havisham. I had known him the moment I saw him looking over the settle, and now that I stood confronting him with his hand upon my shoulder, I checked off again in detail his large head, his dark complexion, his deep-set eyes, his bushy black eyebrows, his large watch-chain, his strong black dots of beard and whisker, and even the smell of scented soap on his great hand.“I wish to have a private conference with you two,” said he, when he had surveyed me at his leisure. “It will take a little time. Perhaps we had better go to your place of residence. I prefer not to anticipate my communication here; you will impart as much or as little of it as you please to your friends afterwards; I have nothing to do with that.”Amidst a wondering silence, we three walked out of the Jolly Bargemen, and in a wondering silence walked home. While going along, the strange gentleman occasionally looked at me, and occasionally bit the side of his finger. As we neared home, Joe vaguely acknowledging the occasion as an impressive and ceremonious one, went on ahead to open the front door. Our conference was held in the state parlor, which was feebly lighted by one candle.It began with the strange gentleman's sitting down at the table, drawing the candle to him, and looking over some entries in his pocketbook. He then put up the pocketbook and set the candle a little aside, after peering round it into the darkness at Joe and me, to ascertain which was which.“My name,” he said, “is Jaggers, and I am a lawyer in London. I am pretty well known. I have unusual business to transact with you, and I commence by explaining that it is not of my originating. If my advice had been asked, I should not have been here. It was not asked, and you see me here. What I have to do as the confidential agent of another, I do. No less, no more.”Finding that he could not see us very well from where he sat, he got up, and threw one leg over the back of a chair and leaned upon it; thus having one foot on the seat of the chair, and one foot on the ground.“Now, Joseph Gargery, I am the bearer of an offer to relieve you of this young fellow your apprentice. You would not object to cancel his indentures at his request and for his good? You would want nothing for so doing?”“Lord forbid that I should want anything for not standing in Pip's way,” said Joe, staring.“Lord forbidding is pious, but not to the purpose,” returned Mr. Jaggers. “The question is, Would you want anything? Do you want anything?”“The answer is,” returned Joe, sternly, “No.”I thought Mr. Jaggers glanced at Joe, as if he considered him a fool for his disinterestedness. But I was too much bewildered between breathless curiosity and surprise, to be sure of it.“Very well,” said Mr. Jaggers. “Recollect the admission you have made, and don't try to go from it presently.”“Who's a going to try?” retorted Joe.“I don't say anybody is. Do you keep a dog?”“Yes, I do keep a dog.”“Bear in mind then, that Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better. Bear that in mind, will you?” repeated Mr. Jaggers, shutting his eyes and nodding his head at Joe, as if he were forgiving him something. “Now, I return to this young fellow. And the communication I have got to make is, that he has great expectations.”Joe and I gasped, and looked at one another.“I am instructed to communicate to him,” said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at me sideways, “that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that it is the desire of the present possessor of that property, that he be immediately removed from his present sphere of life and from this place, and be brought up as a gentleman⁠—in a word, as a young fellow of great expectations.”My dream was out; my wild fancy was surpassed by sober reality; Miss Havisham was going to make my fortune on a grand scale.“Now, Mr. Pip,” pursued the lawyer, “I address the rest of what I have to say, to you. You are to understand, first, that it is the request of the person from whom I take my instructions that you always bear the name of Pip. You will have no objection, I dare say, to your great expectations being encumbered with that easy condition. But if you have any objection, this is the time to mention it.”My heart was beating so fast, and there was such a singing in my ears, that I could scarcely stammer I had no objection.“I should think not! Now you are to understand, secondly, Mr. Pip, that the name of the person who is your liberal benefactor remains a profound secret, until the person chooses to reveal it. I am empowered to mention that it is the intention of the person to reveal it at first hand by word of mouth to yourself. When or where that intention may be carried out, I cannot say; no one can say. It may be years hence. Now, you are distinctly to understand that you are most positively prohibited from making any inquiry on this head, or any allusion or reference, however distant, to any individual whomsoever as the individual, in all the communications you may have with me. If you have a suspicion in your own breast, keep that suspicion in your own breast. It is not the least to the purpose what the reasons of this prohibition are; they may be the strongest and gravest reasons, or they may be mere whim. This is not for you to inquire into. The condition is laid down. Your acceptance of it, and your observance of it as binding, is the only remaining condition that I am charged with, by the person from whom I take my instructions, and for whom I am not otherwise responsible. That person is the person from whom you derive your expectations, and the secret is solely held by that person and by me. Again, not a very difficult condition with which to encumber such a rise in fortune; but if you have any objection to it, this is the time to mention it. Speak out.”Once more, I stammered with difficulty that I had no objection.“I should think not! Now, Mr. Pip, I have done with stipulations.” Though he called me Mr. Pip, and began rather to make up to me, he still could not get rid of a certain air of bullying suspicion; and even now he occasionally shut his eyes and threw his finger at me while he spoke, as much as to express that he knew all kinds of things to my disparagement, if he only chose to mention them. “We come next, to mere details of arrangement. You must know that, although I have used the term ‘expectations' more than once, you are not endowed with expectations only. There is already lodged in my hands a sum of money amply sufficient for your suitable education and maintenance. You will please consider me your guardian. Oh!” for I was going to thank him, “I tell you at once, I am paid for my services, or I shouldn't render them. It is considered that you must be better educated, in accordance with your altered position, and that you will be alive to the importance and necessity of at once entering on that advantage.”I said I had always longed for it.“Never mind what you have always longed for, Mr. Pip,” he retorted; “keep to the record. If you long for it now, that's enough. Am I answered that you are ready to be placed at once under some proper tutor? Is that it?”I stammered yes, that was it.“Good. Now, your inclinations are to be consulted. I don't think that wise, mind, but it's my trust. Have you ever heard of any tutor whom you would prefer to another?”I had never heard of any tutor but Biddy and Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt; so, I replied in the negative.“There is a certain tutor, of whom I have some knowledge, who I think might suit the purpose,” said Mr. Jaggers. “I don't recommend him, observe; because I never recommend anybody. The gentleman I speak of is one Mr. Matthew Pocket.”Ah! I caught at the name directly. Miss Havisham's relation. The Matthew whom Mr. and Mrs. Camilla had spoken of. The Matthew whose place was to be at Miss Havisham's head, when she lay dead, in her bride's dress on the bride's table.“You know the name?” said Mr. Jaggers, looking shrewdly at me, and then shutting up his eyes while he waited for my answer.My answer was, that I had heard of the name.“Oh!” said he. “You have heard of the name. But the question is, what do you say of it?”I said, or tried to say, that I was much obliged to him for his recommendation⁠—“No, my young friend!” he interrupted, shaking his great head very slowly. “Recollect yourself!”Not recollecting myself, I began again that I was much obliged to him for his recommendation⁠—“No, my young friend,” he interrupted, shaking his head and frowning and smiling both at once⁠—“no, no, no; it's very well done, but it won't do; you are too young to fix me with it. Recommendation is not the word, Mr. Pip. Try another.”Correcting myself, I said that I was much obliged to him for his mention of Mr. Matthew Pocket⁠—“That's more like it!” cried Mr. Jaggers.⁠—And (I added), I would gladly try that gentleman.“Good. You had better try him in his own house. The way shall be prepared for you, and you can see his son first, who is in London. When will you come to London?”I said (glancing at Joe, who stood looking on, motionless), that I supposed I could come directly.“First,” said Mr. Jaggers, “you should have some new clothes to come in, and they should not be working-clothes. Say this day week. You'll want some money. Shall I leave you twenty guineas?”He produced a long purse, with the greatest coolness, and counted them out on the table and pushed them over to me. This was the first time he had taken his leg from the chair. He sat astride of the chair when he had pushed the money over, and sat swinging his purse and eyeing Joe.“Well, Joseph Gargery? You look dumbfoundered?”“I am!” said Joe, in a very decided manner.“It was understood that you wanted nothing for yourself, remember?”“It were understood,” said Joe. “And it are understood. And it ever will be similar according.”“But what,” said Mr. Jaggers, swinging his purse⁠—“what if it was in my instructions to make you a present, as compensation?”“As compensation what for?” Joe demanded.“For the loss of his services.”Joe laid his hand upon my shoulder with the touch of a woman. I have often thought him since, like the steam-hammer that can crush a man or pat an eggshell, in his combination of strength with gentleness. “Pip is that hearty welcome,” said Joe, “to go free with his services, to honor and fortun', as no words can tell him. But if you think as Money can make compensation to me for the loss of the little child⁠—what come to the forge⁠—and ever the best of friends!⁠—”O dear good Joe, whom I was so ready to leave and so unthankful to, I see you again, with your muscular blacksmith's arm before your eyes, and your broad chest heaving, and your voice dying away. O dear good faithful tender Joe, I feel the loving tremble of your hand upon my arm, as solemnly this day as if it had been the rustle of an angel's wing!But I encouraged Joe at the time. I was lost in the mazes of my future fortunes, and could not retrace the bypaths we had trodden together. I begged Joe to be comforted, for (as he said) we had ever been the best of friends, and (as I said) we ever would be so. Joe scooped his eyes with his disengaged wrist, as if he were bent on gouging himself, but said not another word.Mr. Jaggers had looked on at this, as one who recognized in Joe the village idiot, and in me his keeper. When it was over, he said, weighing in his hand the purse he had ceased to swing:⁠—“Now, Joseph Gargery, I warn you this is your last chance. No half measures with me. If you mean to take a present that I have it in charge to make you, speak out, and you shall have it.

Which I meantersay as sech if you're a man, come on! Which I meantersay that what I say, I meantersay and stand or fall by!”I drew Joe away, and he immediately became placable; merely stating to me, in an obliging manner and as a polite expostulatory notice to anyone whom it might happen to concern, that he were not a going to be bull-baited and badgered in his own place. Mr. Jaggers had risen when Joe demonstrated, and had backed near the door. Without evincing any inclination to come in again, he there delivered his valedictory remarks. They were these.“Well, Mr. Pip, I think the sooner you leave here⁠—as you are to be a gentleman⁠—the better. Let it stand for this day week, and you shall receive my printed address in the meantime. You can take a hackney-coach at the stagecoach office in London, and come straight to me. Understand, that I express no opinion, one way or other, on the trust I undertake. I am paid for undertaking it, and I do so. Now, understand that, finally. Understand that!”He was throwing his finger at both of us, and I think would have gone on, but for his seeming to think Joe dangerous, and going off.Something came into my head which induced me to run after him, as he was going down to the Jolly Bargemen, where he had left a hired carriage.“I beg your pardon, Mr. Jaggers.”“Halloa!” said he, facing round, “what's the matter?”“I wish to be quite right, Mr. Jaggers, and to keep to your directions; so I thought I had better ask. Would there be any objection to my taking leave of anyone I know, about here, before I go away?”“No,” said he, looking as if he hardly understood me.“I don't mean in the village only, but up town?”“No,” said he. “No objection.”I thanked him and ran home again, and there I found that Joe had already locked the front door and vacated the state parlor, and was seated by the kitchen fire with a hand on each knee, gazing intently at the burning coals. I too sat down before the fire and gazed at the coals, and nothing was said for a long time.My sister was in her cushioned chair in her corner, and Biddy sat at her needlework before the fire, and Joe sat next Biddy, and I sat next Joe in the corner opposite my sister. The more I looked into the glowing coals, the more incapable I became of looking at Joe; the longer the silence lasted, the more unable I felt to speak.At length I got out, “Joe, have you told Biddy?”“No, Pip,” returned Joe, still looking at the fire, and holding his knees tight, as if he had private information that they intended to make off somewhere, “which I left it to yourself, Pip.”“I would rather you told, Joe.”“Pip's a gentleman of fortun' then,” said Joe, “and God bless him in it!”Biddy dropped her work, and looked at me. Joe held his knees and looked at me. I looked at both of them. After a pause, they both heartily congratulated me; but there was a certain touch of sadness in their congratulations that I rather resented.I took it upon myself to impress Biddy (and through Biddy, Joe) with the grave obligation I considered my friends under, to know nothing and say nothing about the maker of my fortune. It would all come out in good time, I observed, and in the meanwhile nothing was to be said, save that I had come into great expectations from a mysterious patron. Biddy nodded her head thoughtfully at the fire as she took up her work again, and said she would be very particular; and Joe, still detaining his knees, said, “Ay, ay, I'll be ekervally partickler, Pip;” and then they congratulated me again, and went on to express so much wonder at the notion of my being a gentleman that I didn't half like it.Infinite pains were then taken by Biddy to convey to my sister some idea of what had happened. To the best of my belief, those efforts entirely failed. She laughed and nodded her head a great many times, and even repeated after Biddy, the words “Pip” and “Property.” But I doubt if they had more meaning in them than an election cry, and I cannot suggest a darker picture of her state of mind.I never could have believed it without experience, but as Joe and Biddy became more at their cheerful ease again, I became quite gloomy. Dissatisfied with my fortune, of course I could not be; but it is possible that I may have been, without quite knowing it, dissatisfied with myself.Anyhow, I sat with my elbow on my knee and my face upon my hand, looking into the fire, as those two talked about my going away, and about what they should do without me, and all that. And whenever I caught one of them looking at me, though never so pleasantly (and they often looked at me⁠—particularly Biddy), I felt offended: as if they were expressing some mistrust of me. Though Heaven knows they never did by word or sign.At those times I would get up and look out at the door; for our kitchen door opened at once upon the night, and stood open on summer evenings to air the room. The very stars to which I then raised my eyes, I am afraid I took to be but poor and humble stars for glittering on the rustic objects among which I had passed my life.“Saturday night,” said I, when we sat at our supper of bread and cheese and beer. “Five more days, and then the day before the day! They'll soon go.”“Yes, Pip,” observed Joe, whose voice sounded hollow in his beer-mug. “They'll soon go.”“Soon, soon go,” said Biddy.“I have been thinking, Joe, that when I go down town on Monday, and order my new clothes, I shall tell the tailor that I'll come and put them on there, or that I'll have them sent to Mr. Pumblechook's. It would be very disagreeable to be stared at by all the people here.”“Mr. and Mrs. Hubble might like to see you in your new genteel figure too, Pip,” said Joe, industriously cutting his bread, with his cheese on it, in the palm of his left hand, and glancing at my untasted supper as if he thought of the time when we used to compare slices. “So might Wopsle. And the Jolly Bargemen might take it as a compliment.”“That's just what I don't want, Joe. They would make such a business of it⁠—such a coarse and common business⁠—that I couldn't bear myself.”“Ah, that indeed, Pip!” said Joe. “If you couldn't abear yourself⁠—”Biddy asked me here, as she sat holding my sister's plate, “Have you thought about when you'll show yourself to Mr. Gargery, and your sister and me? You will show yourself to us; won't you?”“Biddy,” I returned with some resentment, “you are so exceedingly quick that it's difficult to keep up with you.”(“She always were quick,” observed Joe.)“If you had waited another moment, Biddy, you would have heard me say that I shall bring my clothes here in a bundle one evening⁠—most likely on the evening before I go away.”Biddy said no more. Handsomely forgiving her, I soon exchanged an affectionate good night with her and Joe, and went up to bed. When I got into my little room, I sat down and took a long look at it, as a mean little room that I should soon be parted from and raised above, forever. It was furnished with fresh young remembrances too, and even at the same moment I fell into much the same confused division of mind between it and the better rooms to which I was going, as I had been in so often between the forge and Miss Havisham's, and Biddy and Estella.The sun had been shining brightly all day on the roof of my attic, and the room was warm. As I put the window open and stood looking out, I saw Joe come slowly forth at the dark door, below, and take a turn or two in the air; and then I saw Biddy come, and bring him a pipe and light it for him. He never smoked so late, and it seemed to hint to me that he wanted comforting, for some reason or other.He presently stood at the door immediately beneath me, smoking his pipe, and Biddy stood there too, quietly talking to him, and I knew that they talked of me, for I heard my name mentioned in an endearing tone by both of them more than once. I would not have listened for more, if I could have heard more; so I drew away from the window, and sat down in my one chair by the bedside, feeling it very sorrowful and strange that this first night of my bright fortunes should be the loneliest I had ever known.Looking towards the open window, I saw light wreaths from Joe's pipe floating there, and I fancied it was like a blessing from Joe⁠—not obtruded on me or paraded before me, but pervading the air we shared together. I put my light out, and crept into bed; and it was an uneasy bed now, and I never slept the old sound sleep in it any more. This is a public episode.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. This is a part of a collection of gradual talks that will explore the Buddha's Teachings on Fear - the qualities we are encouraged to develop to overcome fear, how fear is constructed, the arising of fear, the dangers, challenges and the escape. We begin with shorter teachings from the Buddha and noble arahants, and eventually examine the longer teachings that will help to correct any wrong views and deepen our practice. It is an encouragement towards standing firmly on the Dhamma to acknowledge, understand, deal with and overcome fear. The world presents us with external challenges and uncertainties, and we have the means to bear with these external difficulties as well as to work through internal fears with the Buddha's teachings. In this session we look at "WHAT TO RECOLLECT TO ABANDON FEAR" from the Dhajagga Sutta (SN 11.3). The Buddha speaks to the monks about the battle between the devas and asuras and what Sakka advises the devas before battle when fear, trepidation and terror arises. The Buddha encourages the monks towards a different kind of recollection in order to abandon fear, trepidation and terror and gives reasons for his teaching. This is a timely teaching and good reminder for all of us who are walking the Buddha's Noble Path. To read the Dhajagga Sutta (SN 11.3) - https://suttacentral.net/sn11.3/en/bodhi Bohoma pin to the people who have been fearless in acknowledging fear and asking questions on how to deal with and overcome fear.

Timothy Walker is professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and the editor of Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad. Published by University of Massachusetts Press, Sailing to Freedom makes the case that a high percentage of successful slave escapes were achieved by using coastal seaways - not by fleeing on land! In this conversation, Walker pushes for a more accurate telling of our Underground Railroad story, shares how K-12 educators are responding to the scholarship, and reminds us that the two most famous self-emancipators, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, both used waterways in their quests for freedom.

RECOLLECT celebrates the study of Pan-African history and culture. My name is B. Francis Clark and I am a product of the African slave trade. I'm also the product of the preeminent scholars in the field of Africana studies. As a student at Berkeley and UCLA, I had the privilege of learning from the best of the best, including Ron Takaki, Harry Edwards, Richard Yarborough, Brenda Stevenson, Robert Hill, Cheryl Keyes, Barbara Christian, Boniface Obichere, Negussay Ayele, Scot Brown, and so many more. This podcast is a tribute to them, and to all the flame keepers and engravers who are doing the work of revealing and preserving our unique human story. Marcus Garvey said that a people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots. That we must never be. So I invite you to join me as we give our full attention to the biography of black people, as unearthed by the authors and historians who are literally excavating and uplifting and upholding the truth of our collective sojourn. This is how we recollect. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recollect/message

Pastor Trevor talks with one of City of Light’s group leaders, Rachel Wassink, about her new podcast Recollect, a weekly podcast reflecting on the Collect of the day to take our Sunday prayers into our weeks. Then enjoy the latest episode of Recollect featuring the collect that we will read this coming Sunday. Subscribe to Recollect on Apple, Google, Soundcloud, or Sticher. Follow @recollectpodcast on Facebook and Instagram. Our collect this week is from the First Sunday of Epiphany: Eternal Father, at the baptism of Jesus you revealed him to be your Son, and your Holy Spirit descended upon him like a dove: Grant that we, who are born again by water and the Spirit, may be faithful as your adopted children; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Today, I’m recording last minute - which I never do. I am usually recorded a week or even a month in advance, but the combination of having taken time off over the holidays and the shit show at the white house this week means that I’m taking a beat to stop and be with you here, now and to let you know that if productivity is not your focus right now - that’s okay.It might sound contrite to suggest self care above all else when the world has gone mad, but self care is a rebellious, and political act. You cannot aim to fix injustices that you see if you haven’t slept, had good nutrition, or taken a mental health day. This is especially true for everyone who is battling the ‘isms’. Racism, sexism, ageism, homophobism - when the world is not a safe place for you, your body and nervous system REQUIRE that you take time to restore in a place of your own creation that feels as safe as possible.This is necessary so that when it is time to face the world again, to fight, to break down barriers, to be yourself in a world that asks you not to be, you have the energy for it. Self-care, in and of itself, is an act of political power. This week, I posted a meme on my socials that said, “Everytime a woman prioritizes herself, the patriarchy crumbles a little” and I meant it, but it should have read: “Everytime anyone who has ever been marginalized prioritizes themselves, the patriarchy crumbles a little.”The basics of this come down to: First, Rest. Second, Rebel.   First, REST. Second, Rebel.   But FIRST - first, REST. Restore. Treat yourself like the prize you are. Rejuvenate. Recollect your power. Engage your anger in a way that makes it useful. But first, REST. Scream. FEEL.   Second, Rebel.    This first step requires you to have some knowledge about how to regulate your nervous system. Don’t worry, I’ve got you - I know that they don’t teach this at school. Regulation of the nervous system starts with a feeling of safety and creating that feeling is an individual process. Do you need to grab a soft blanket? Make sure your doors are locked? Clean the kitchen? Organize paperwork? What is it that needs to be in place for you to feel safe?Right now, I’m home alone for a couple of weeks and I’m in a home that we just bought - we have lived here for less than 2 months - so it isn’t my safe place yet. In order to regulate my nervous system, I need to make sure all my doors are locked - not because I don’t trust my neighbors but because I don’t want to have to think about the door that used to be in a hallway with other apartments and now points straight out onto the street. There is a layer of ‘protection’ that I’ve had my entire adult life that is now gone, so I have to secure the next layer to feel safe.For me, next is making sure all the basics are clean. I don’t feel as safe when my bed isn’t made and there are dirty dishes on the countertops (and if I’m honest, on the coffee table). I need to put it all away, wipe down the counters, and make my bed. After that, I need to be clean. In order to feel like I’m taking care of myself and am safe, I need to be freshly showered. It makes me feel ready for rest AND ready for action. There’s a preparation ritual that goes with washing yourself that is important to me (it might not be to you - and that’s okay - I’m simply giving examples so that you can try to figure out what helps you feel safe).   After you feel as safe as possible, one of the best ways to regulate your nervous system is to do a short meditation called yoga nidra, or body scan. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long and you don’t have to sit in lotus position. This particular meditation is also known as sleeping yoga. You can do it on your bed, on your yoga mat, on your couch, anywhere you can lay down comfortably and feel safe.You may have experienced this before if you’ve taken a yoga class in a studio (I know, don’t remind you that you used to be able to go to a yoga studio…). You know, at the end, when you’re in savasana, also known as corpse pose, and the teacher tells you to relax the skin of your scalp, your eyes, your jaw, and moves down your body - and it feels like the best thing in the whole world? Yes, that. That is one of the best ways to regulate your nervous system. So this week, I’m releasing two episodes. This one, to let you know that there is a tool that you can implement and one right after that, giving you the tool - with no introduction or interruption so that you can listen to it again and again without having to relisten to or skip the introduction by fast forwarding. I want you to be able to access this ASAP whenever you want it.   So, step one: make your surroundings feel safe. Step two, listen to the next episode of FRIED and give your nervous system what it needs. All the changes last year have not been integrated yet into our bodies and we’re still sort of waiting for normal to come back. It’s not likely to come back as it was before and in order to move forward, our nervous systems need to have the ability to be flexible, agile, and ready. It’s a practice, a lifelong one, but if the last year taught us anything it is that we never know what’s about to happen and making ourselves more comfortable in the ‘now’ is something we should all be striving for so that when life falls to shit, we can fall to shit for a moment and then recoup and get on with our desires to make change, seek justice, empower ourselves and each other, and be the changes we want to see in the world.Sending you lots of love.XOC

Today, someone waved a Confederate flag inside the United States Capitol after storming into the building. Perhaps, this individual should take some advice from Gen. Robert E. Lee, who chose to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia rather than to waste the lives of his men when it was clear that victory would be impossible. "Recollect that we form one country now," Lee wrote to a Southern mother who was holding onto hate from the late war, "Abandon all these local animosities and make your sons Americans.” No matter what one thinks about the outcome of the 2020 election, that election is over, and it's time to do the work of trying to unite the country rather than holding onto the animosities that divide us.

From time to time in good conservative Christian circles there are Bah-Humbug-Christmas-Killjoys who rise up to crush your Christmas joy, saying, -Charles Spurgeon didn't celebrate Christmas-- Let not your heart be troubled. --Like many faithful men in his day, Charles Spurgeon had reservations about the celebration of Christmas. They lived closer to the Reformation by date and proximity than we do today and the Roman Catholic Church held much sway in England and in the origin and celebration of Christmas. Spurgeon's sermons regarding Christmas reflect his genuine concern for the Gospel and the purity of the Church. Nevertheless, in his December 24, 1854, sermon titled -The Birth of Christ,- he ended his sermon saying---Now a happy Christmas to you all- and it will be a happy Christmas if you have God with you. I shall say nothing today against festivities on this great birthday of Christ. We will to-morrow think of Christ's birthday- we shall be obliged to do it, I am sure, however sturdily we may hold to our rough Puritanism...Feast, Christians, feast- you have a right to feast. Go to the house of feasting to-morrow, celebrate your Savior's birth- do not be ashamed to be glad- you have a right to be happy...Religion never was designed to make your pleasures less-Recollect that your Master ate butter and honey.

Welcome to ReCollect, where we reflect on the weekly collect of the day to take our Sunday prayers into our weeks. This week's collect is for the first Sunday in Advent. Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Mark Chapter 2 - 5“Every Christian here is either a missionary or an impostor. Recollect that you are either trying to spread abroad the kingdom of Christ, or else you do not love him at all. It cannot be that there is a high appreciation of Jesus, and a totally silent tongue about him. Of course I do not mean, by that, that those who use the pen for Christ are silent; they are not. And those who help others to use the tongue, or spread that which others have written, are doing their part well; but I mean this,—that man who says, ‘I believe in Jesus,' but does not think enough of Jesus ever to tell another about him, by mouth, or pen, or tract, is an impostor.” – Charles Spurgeon Mark 4:35 “On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”Mark 5: 7-13 “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me. 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.”

“You are a seasoned traveler in life. Undoubtedly you have been on uncharted territory before. And God has been with you and is with you. Recollect your life, which will inspire confidence in the present and hope for the future. This is a way of 'praying your life.'” During this season of staying home, Br. Curtis Almquist invites us to remember our travels through life.

His Grace speaks with us about overcoming the difficulty of forgiving. He shares with some words from St. John Chrysostom. St. John Chrysostom: “His heart smote him.,” the text says, remember, “for cutting off the corner of the cloak, and he said to his men, ‘The Lord forbid.’” What is the meaning of “The Lord forbid”? It means, May the Lord be merciful to me, and if I actually had the intention, may God not allow me to act on it nor permit me to proceed to sin. In other words, since he knew sound values of this are almost beyond human nature and require grace from on high, and that he was halfway to committing murder, he then prays that God would keep his hand unstained. […] “It was not without God’s influence, you see, that he succeeded in prevailing over those frenzied men: the grace of God was found on the inspired man’s lips” St. John Chrysostom: “When you see your enemy or have him in mind, forget all those harmful things you suffered or were told; if they still come to mind, put it down to the devil. Recollect, rather, whether he ever said or did anything useful to you; if you turn these things over in your mind, you will promptly dissolve your enmity.

“Made perfect.” — Hebrews 12:23 Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which the Christian needs — the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification wrought in him by the Holy Spirit. At present, corruption yet remains even in the breasts of the regenerate — experience soon teaches […]

These three words have very similar meanings. Which one should you use when and what are some of the differences? We talk about these three words in this week’s episode. Read the transcript here The post #53 Recall, Remember or Recollect? appeared first on VenturEnglish.

This episode we have a familiar guest on to help us decipher a movie that is pretty hard to understand.  The movie was very strong, albeit a bit ambiguous.  As expected, we go on some pretty strange tangents.  

For the first time in this podcast's history, we’re having a guest come on the show a second time! For the long-time listener, you may remember today’s guest’s story of loss in episode 41 Diversification: The Best Insurance Against any Investment Burst. Joachim Klement experienced his worst investment in the early 2000s during the Dotcom bubble after investing in a tech fund. Sharing his story on our podcast inspired him to write the book 7 Mistakes Every Investor Makes (And How to Avoid Them): A Manifesto for Smarter Investing. It’s a huge pleasure to have him back on the show. In this episode, he will walk through the 7 mistakes he talks about in his book. Guest profile Joachim Klement is a research analyst and former Chief Investment Officer with 20 years’ experience in financial markets. He spent most of his career working with wealthy individuals and family offices, advising them on investments and helping them manage their portfolios. Joachim studied mathematics and physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, and graduated with a master’s degree in mathematics. During his time at ETH, Joachim experienced the technology bubble of the late 1990s firsthand. Through this work, he became interested in finance and investments and studied business administration at the Universities of Zurich and Hagen, Germany, graduating with a master’s degree in economics and finance and switching into the financial services industry in time for the run-up to the financial crisis. 7 Mistakes Every Investor Makes (And How to Avoid Them): A Manifesto for Smarter Investing Seven Mistakes Every Investor Makes (And How to Avoid Them) calls upon years of experience and scientific research to deliver expert insight into the most common mistakes plaguing investors. From there, Klement outlines his personal tools and techniques, developed, refined, and successfully implemented over many years in the finance industry, to help avoid and mitigate such mistakes. His ultimate aim: to help you help yourself. The mistakes covered include forecasting, short- and long-term orientation, repeating past errors, confirmation bias, not delegating to experts, and blind trust of traditional assumptions. Seven Mistakes Every Investor Makes (And How to Avoid Them) is a must-have guide for every investor. Packed with scientific research and personal wisdom, this book draws together the most common investing mistakes to practically revealing how to overcome and eliminate them. Don’t make another avoidable mistake by missing out on this book.   “I think artificial intelligence and other new tools built on big data analysis will help us get better, but they're not gonna make us redundant. And they're not going to end finance.” Joachim Klement   Mistake No. 1: Forecasting Forecasting is an exercise in futility. One technique to improve your forecasting is just to assume that the dollar will be in one year where it is today. There is lots of empirical evidence out there that this “forecast” is better than the consensus forecast and better than about 95% of all analysts in this world. The same thing is true of interest rates and stock markets. Joachim presents a few techniques on how to get better when it comes to your investment forecasts, which eventually you have to make because investing is not about the past but the future. Mistake No. 2: Short-termism People are too short-term oriented in their investment decisions. They chase performance. They go in and out of stocks constantly. This results in a lot of transaction costs, even in the world of discount brokerages. The transaction costs accumulate and the performance gets worse. Just the very fact that you go from A to B and back to A and then to C and then to D and then to another stock cost you a lot of money and diminishes your performance. Mistake No. 3: Being too long-term It is a mistake just to let strategies run uncontrolled; you need to have some risk management and control mechanisms in place. There comes the point when you have to take that risk off the table. Not because it's a bad strategy, but because you want to survive. Mistake No. 4: Repeating past errors Recollect the past, analyze, and learn from it. Too many retail and professional investors, even fund managers, CIOs of big institutions, keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Use a very simple technique of an investment diary where you write down your past decisions, why you made them and then check the outcome regularly and then start reflecting. I didn't make that mistake. If it wasn't a mistake. Why was I right? Was I right for the right reasons? Or was I just lucky meaning right for the wrong reasons? Learn from your mistakes. Mistake No. 5: Ignoring the other side When it comes to long-term thematic investing, many people focus on demand but forget about the supply side. Unfortunately, prices are as a result of the balance between supply and demand. Demand rises slowly but supply can adapt and adjust to it very quickly. So by the time demand change comes around, supply has already adjusted and you make no money. Mistake No. 6: Not being active enough None of us is an expert in everything. It’s important sometimes to delegate your money and investment decisions to fund managers. You do this with the hope that these specialists will be able to give you good value for money. The mistake a lot of people make is to hand their investments to fund managers who aren’t active enough to have a decent chance of outperforming after their fees. Mistake No. 7: Blind trust in traditional assumptions We all think the financial market or any market is heading towards an equilibrium of supply and demand. The only way prices change is when some new piece of information comes along and shifts either demand or supply or both, and then you get a new equilibrium. Similarly, if you look at valuations of stock markets, we think that if market valuations are too high, they are supposed to come down to some long-term average. This couldn’t be further from the truth. That equilibrium does not exist because financial markets are constantly changing. Parting words   “Don't despair. We all make mistakes, even the best of us do. Learn from them and improve your investment every day, every year. Over time, you will get better, and things will get better. You will make new mistakes.” Joachim Klement   Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points Andrew’s online programs Valuation Master Class Women Building Wealth The Build Your Wealth Membership Group Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points Connect with Joachim Klement Twitter LinkedIn Blog Connect with Andrew Stotz: astotz.com Linkedin Facebook Instagram Twitter Youtube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast Further reading mentioned Joachim Klement (2020) 7 Mistakes Every Investor Makes (And How to Avoid Them)

Based on a True Story! Sometimes we fall off and we just need God to step up and Recollect us! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/refreshed-podcast/support

Ephesians 1:17 — Prayer is central to every believers life and critical to our discipleship and worship. However, we often feel ashamed to talk about our personal prayer life. We read books and manuals on prayer, hoping to find the perfect solution to our fickle prayer life. In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that questions found in books on prayer often miss the point. Christians must not focus on form or saying the most beautiful words they can think of. Nor should Christians simply telegraph their petitions in a sentence or two. Instead we must remember. Recollect, pause, and remember, as the apostle Paul does, whom we are speaking to. Paul, in just one verse, notes in his prayer that he is praying to the God with whom he has a covenant relationship. The God of the incarnate Son. Not an unknown god, but the God revealed through the Lord Jesus Christ. This God is the source of all glory. He is the glorious One, who gives glory, not only to the Son, but to His people. When we remember who we are praying to before we begin, we will, indeed, find little trouble engaging in the greatest activity any human being can do: speak to God!

Amy Jones is a life coach, strategist, and founder of Love Saves Lives, Inc. Her work is dedicated to helping humans feel better about being human. She's launching an app called Recollect that feeds people based on what they’re feeling, so they feel better. Amy has also created a podcast, Building Something Better, to share the adventure of becoming a first-time founder and the life lessons that come along with it.

New here? Listen to THIS. By THIS, I mean the latest version of my sharing what we're doing here, why we're building something better, and what the hell that better thing is. Of course, if you've been a listener to any of the previous episodes, you are very welcome, too. It's just that I realized Episode 1 was no longer the most relevant backstory for those who are new and wish to hear the story. Here's the latest. P/S If you wish to try out our prototype and get a taste of what Recollect feels like for you, please request an invite here: recollectbetter.com

This is a big one. I've been getting sucked into fear quite a bit lately and from some of the messages I've been receiving from our listeners, I know I'm not the only one. To be human is also to be afraid. We may be smart, but we're also designed to get real scared when we do anything new. Or big. Or brilliant. Which is to say that most days, I am afraid, if not terrified. It can be so easy to get sucked into that fear and the scary stories my Clever Brain comes up with. I'm thinking of them like those riptides that suck people out to sea. Most people's instinct is to swim to shore and struggle against the powerful current. But the way we get out of riptides is kinda like the way we get out of overwhelming fear. Sharing what that's like for me and how I navigate through it. It's what I've been practicing a lot this week. For anyone else who is daring to create something great, who is in the midst of a journey or adventure aka rollercoaster, I hope you'll find this comforting. I also hope it will spark some inspiration for you and help you notice when you're in fear and take steps to move through it. If you'd like to try out the Recollect prototype to see if it can help you navigate any emotion you're feeling, please request an invite here: recollectbetter.com

Extra truthy today. Well, at least it feels that way. Simply because wanting something so bad feels so damn vulnerable. UGHHH! Hoping you can relate. While my DESIRE! (that awkward spelling will make sense once you listen) is bringing Recollect into the world and giving us all a tool to help us feel so much better...yours is something else. Something so YOU. Perhaps you've been keeping it inside. Maybe you've only told your journal. Or your dog. Maybe some friends! But you haven't yet summoned your courage to boldly state your desire because it's SCARY. It's so bloody uncomfortable. Because what if we don't get what we desire? What if our burning, yearning thing doesn't turn out the way we want it to? When we want it to? Ughghghghgekekekekekahhhhhgggghghgh. I'm in it. In this dance with desire, taking the next breath, the next right step and captaining my human vessel through this choppy bit. The realest of real talk today. Please enjoy and if you feel so moved, join us at recollectbetter.com to request an invite.

Been experimenting this week—seeing if our little prototype can help provide the right thing, right time according to situation, not solely based on what we're feeling in the moment. Because, fundraising. Fundraising is my latest endeavor and something that I haven't done before—not in this way. Since I'm a human person, this new thing seems big and scary at times. When I can remember, I can talk myself through the fear and get back to the truth. Which is: The funds are being raised. It's not a matter of if, but when. This is turning out. We're already on our way. The thing is, it's real easy to forget that. I have a Clever Brain who loves to tell scary stories and distract me from that truth. Thus, the experiment. I created a series of reminders and truths for myself that bring me back to what matters when I catch myself freaking out about fundraising. This episode is me sharing about exactly what that means and how it's turned out so far. Now, I realize you're not likely fundraising as well. You've probably got some other important or scary thing going on in your life. So many your Clever Brain has stories about your work or relationships or future or past. Thus, you'd be served by a different series of reminders. Which is why we're building Recollect and why I'm offering Founding Members the opportunity to build a custom recollection of reminders that are specific to their life and their truth. Founding Members can do this by requesting an invite to try our prototype (aka the "skateboard" version, which will make more sense once you sign up and receive the intro email). Then, I'll reach out with a link that makes it easy-peasy to set up. If you're not a Founding Member? How about becoming one? All it takes is a $50 deposit toward your future membership.

The in-between moments of life are rather tough for many of us to handle. They're in between being "on" and looking like we have our shit together. They're in between the highlights and Instagramable moments. Chatting about them today because I was inspired by a few lines in the movie I saw today. Bohemian Rhapsody tells a bit of the story of the rock band Queen and it's enigmatic singer, Freddie Mercury. While this is not a movie review, this chat is inspired by Freddie's mention of a "quest for distraction in the in-between moments." That resonated with me very much—that's really what Recollect (our soon-to-be app) is all about. Helping us human as we move through the in-between moments that we often don't know what to do with. Hope this will resonate with you, too. And if you haven't yet, please check out recollectbetter.com and request an invite to our test out our current prototype. It'll give you a taste of what magic is to come!

Recollect When is an upcoming series investigating social phenomena and the lasting impact they had.

Mindfulness is for everyone. So many of us just don’t realize it yet. Mindfulness is not just for some people who are spiritual or privileged or educated. It’s a simple practice of remembering to be present. For the most part, humans are not great at being present—at least not in “modern” society. I’m not great it. I’ve gotten better over the years and continue to improve, but I wouldn’t say that I’m great at it. Because it’s far too easy to forget to be present and dive back into our past and dissect what’s happened—or—to imagine a future and what might happen and how we’ll handle it. This is what drives me to build something better and create a tool that I’ve been craving. Perhaps you’ve been craving it too. I don’t want Mindfulness to be hard. I don’t want it to be complicated or “good” or for some people. I want it to be as easy as choosing a different app to tap—instead of the ones with endless scrolling. I’m committed to Recollect honoring humanity—which is to respect our individual preferences, beliefs, and experiences. To not judge who is worthy is who is not. But to create a framework that is so lovely to use that anyone can fill it with whatever content matters to them. We’re on our way. We’re making progress. We’ve got our first investor (super exciting) and we’re raising the money we need to take this next level. If you haven’t heard: We’ve been testing the prototype version of Recollect with great success—if you’d like to join the community that’s using the prototype, please head to recollectbetter.com and request an invite!

It's inevitable. Whether you're building a company or a relationship or a new habit, things will be going well enough until something happens. It's not so much a matter of if, but rather when. For me, something happened a few weeks ago (I got sick) and I couldn't keep pace. As a recovering perfectionist, I'm claiming it a victory that I surrendered to my body and didn't try to keep all the plates spinning. I concentrated on restoring my health and doing the next right thing. Now that we're getting back into the swing, I have some very exciting news to share about Recollect and where we're headed. Per usual, this episode is unpolished, truthy, and a bit messy. In other words—par for the course, when building something better. If you'd like to learn more about the app or try out our prototype, head over the recollectbetter.com and request an invite. We'd love to have you!

Life can have a lot of LIFE in it, you know? A lot of intense and often painful things swirling around—for us personally, for those we love, and for our countryfolk. This has been a week of so many feels. So many intense feels. On multiple levels. Wanted to dig into this within a few contexts, as I'm sure you'll be able to relate to at least one, if not more. This is something I get pretty fired up about. It's one of the primary reasons I decided to build Recollect and invite all of you to this party. I believe that until we can learn to allow all our feels, all the time, we're going to be paying the price. And the cost is high. So, reflecting on what's been unfolding and what I've been learning from y'all—especially those of you who have been helping test our prototype a.k.a. the skateboard version of Recollect. If you are curious about Recollect or the prototype, please check out recollectbetter.com and request an invite. I remain incredibly excited about how this adventure in building is going. Lots going on I look forward to being able to share about soon. For now, let's talk feels. All feels welcome!

None of us know how much time we have here on our sweet planet. Each of us gets to decide what we do with it. I've been deciding what to do with mine. Which is why I'm sharing about a decision that I've been weighing this week as I build my startup, Love Saves Lives (which is all about building Recollect). It's a big one. Hoping that you'll find some inspiration or food for thought as you see this in your life. Because too often, we don't really consider this sort of thing until something awful happens. Might we all be so wise to consider this before we lose a job or navigate a divorce or receive a terminal diagnosis or lose someone we can't live without. Let's decide before the next time life tries to decide for us. Read on: https://www.recollectbetter.com/podcast/2018/9/23/deciding-what-kind-of-time-you-have

Amy Jones, here. I’m a life coach + strategist who has also founded a company (Love Saves Lives) to build an app that will help millions of us humans feel better. I call it Recollect. It’s an entirely new kind of content feed that serves up the right content at the right time so that we feel better right away. I’m creating this podcast to invite you into the adventure and story of how a community of us are dedicated to building something better. The co-Founder of LinkedIn famously said that if you release your technology and aren’t a bit embarrassed, you waited too long. I can assure you that I feel a bit embarrassed and not like I’m “ready” to do this. As a coach, I know those are excellent signs that indicate I’m simply being brave and showing up as I am with what I’ve got. I’m here to give you the behind-the-scenes of what it’s really like to build a movement and go after a big, scary dream. To request an invite to this amazing app we’re building, go to: recollectbetter.com

Listen as she shares how the past three years have set her on this course and how she mustered the courage to be an artist after a 20 year hiatus, beginning her entrepreneurial journey. If you're a recovering perfectionist, you'll enjoy Amy's story of the night she created her Progress Maps and how she manages to outwit her "Clever Brain." A prolific creator, Amy shares how her experience as a teacher and a coach fueled her frustration with what she calls "one-way conversations" in social media and the limits of individual coaching sessions. Seeing the opportunity in today's technology to create something that could help many more people remember who they are, connect to what is true, and consciously make choices from love, she envisioned an app-based solution she now calls Recollect. Be sure to listen through to the end to enjoy the celebration of this first public invitation to join Amy in her vision. Are you an early adopter and embracer of collective, collaborative projects ready to be a Founding Member? Or, always wanted to be an app beta tester? Here's your chance!
