À première vue, cela pourrait sembler monotone. Louis IX, Louis XIV, Charles V, Philippe Auguste, Henri IV… La monarchie française semble s'être limitée à une poignée de prénoms, répétés encore et encore pendant plus de mille ans. Mais derrière cette apparente routine se cache une véritable stratégie politique, religieuse et symbolique.Tout commence au haut Moyen Âge. Les rois mérovingiens, puis carolingiens, portaient déjà des prénoms issus de leur lignée, mais c'est avec les Capétiens, à partir de 987, que s'installe une logique durable de recyclage dynastique des prénoms. Le but ? Ancrer le pouvoir dans la continuité. En répétant les mêmes noms, les rois affirment qu'ils sont les héritiers légitimes de leurs prédécesseurs et qu'ils incarnent une même autorité royale, au-delà des générations.Prenons Louis, par exemple. Ce prénom devient central après le règne de Louis IX, plus connu sous le nom de Saint Louis, canonisé en 1297. À partir de là, porter le nom de Louis, c'est revendiquer une dimension sacrée, presque divine, du pouvoir. C'est se présenter comme un roi pieux, juste, protecteur de la foi et du royaume. Il n'est donc pas étonnant que ce prénom ait été attribué à 18 rois de France.Charles renvoie quant à lui à Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus), figure fondatrice de la royauté chrétienne en Occident. Un roi nommé Charles invoque donc l'image d'un conquérant, d'un unificateur, d'un empereur. Ce n'est pas anodin si Charles VII est celui qui met fin à la guerre de Cent Ans, ou si Charles V est surnommé “le Sage”.Le prénom Philippe, popularisé par Philippe Auguste, roi capétien du XIIe siècle, connote l'autorité forte, la centralisation du pouvoir, et l'expansion du territoire royal. D'autres Philippe suivront, en écho à cette figure d'un roi bâtisseur.Quant à Henri, il s'impose à la Renaissance et renvoie à Henri IV, premier roi bourbon, artisan de la paix religieuse et du renouveau monarchique après les guerres de Religion. Là encore, reprendre son prénom, c'est s'inscrire dans cette image de réconciliation et de renouveau.Ce choix de prénoms n'a jamais été laissé au hasard. Il s'agissait d'une forme de “branding” royal avant l'heure, une signature politique destinée à rassurer le peuple et les élites : le roi qui monte sur le trône n'est pas un inconnu, c'est un nouveau chapitre d'une même histoire.Ainsi, la répétition des prénoms royaux en France n'est pas une routine, mais un acte de pouvoir. Une manière de dire que le roi n'est jamais vraiment un individu, mais un rôle, une fonction, un héritage incarné. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Gotta Tell Somebody | 06/01/25What happens when the power of the Holy Spirit fills your life? You Gotta Tell Somebody. In this message from our Christ's Church series, we explore Jesus' final instructions to His disciples before ascending to heaven—and the unstoppable mission He launched through them.Discover how the promise of power in Acts 1:5 and the purpose of that power in Acts 1:8 still applies to us today. You were never meant to keep the good news to yourself. The Church was born to boldly witness.

 What is better the normal relationships or Long-Distance Relationships?Both relationships have their positives and negatives… There is no holy grail!When I was in a long-distance relationship, I wanted more time for myself…And I had to build up my happiness by myself and became much more independent. Who cannot be alone can't be together… And this is so crucial to understand… Most couples are together because they can't live alone… What kind of relationship is that? This is not love…This is slavery.First, become your own master before you can surrender in love to somebody else.Only two independent people can love each other!!!If You are all the time together with your partner, how can you appreciate your partner?In the marketing, we lean scarcity sells the best… And so is it also with your darling… Who doesn't know separation doesn't understand love… (Attar)In our separation from our darling:We appreciate our time to be together much much more!We build up more love because we long each other to see us again… We gain more trust and faith in our partner because we don't know what our partner is doing.When we communicate over far distance, we learn intuitively what our partner needs, and this is so priceless… And we learn when to communicate… For instance: In my relationships, we had so many golden moments when we are phoning precisely to the right time… I learned to feel from the distance in which mood my darling was and when to call. My Video: What is good on Long-Distance Relationships? https://youtu.be/ciWKpGAPRKAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/What-is-good-on-Long-Distance-Relationships.mp3

Let's be real — hypocrisy in the church is one of the biggest reasons people walk away from faith. Maybe you've seen it. Maybe you've been hurt by it. In this message, we're not making excuses — we're confronting it head-on. If you've ever thought, “Christians don't live what they preach,” this one's for you. There's more to faith — and to Jesus — than what you've been shown. Speaker: Pastor Danny Anderson

Amor, La Medida de la Perfeccion por Pastor Nicholas Molina

 Dr. Bruce Lipton has proved and explained how we can heal our self with our mind.What we are?A battery with 50Trillions cells.We are not an entity; we are a community of 50Trillions cells.Every cell is communicating via the energy or via the vibration.Every cell is intelligent. The cells are in a community, they give up their personal intelligence and respond to the central voice… If the central voice wants to die the cells will die.The central voice is the mind.The mind is influenced by the internal and external environment.The brain perceives the signals from the internal and external environment and interpret these signals and send the information to the cells to control the behavior and genetics.Explanation of the placebo effect:You have a positive thought that something can heal you, even you don't know it (for instance sugar pill); if you believe in it, then it can heal yourself.It is proved that 1/3 of all healing occurs through the placebo effect or through that thought.What is if you have negative thinking that you can't be healed? This is the nocebo effect.As positive thinking/feelings/belief can heal you, negative thinking/feelings can kill you!!!If the doctor gives you the belief that you will die this belief will kill you!What is if we suppress our negative feelings and thoughts?Then these suppressed negative feelings and thoughts will harm our body! The solution is to release our negativity so that the positivity comes by itself! If we practice “Positive thinking”, then we suppress our negativity, and that will harm our body!Some sects of the Baptists contemplate on God to go in Ecstasy. And when they are in Ecstasy, even deadly Rattlesnakes can bite them without harming them.Or some drink Strychnine in Toxic doses and when they in that state of belief the toxic doesn't affect them.Even we would not have so many evidence in the past that Faith heals… at least the Baptists proof that…. Instead, we still believe that Mosquitoes can make us ill… What you believe you will harvest and that proves the Quantum Physics. Next week I will write more…If we had stronger beliefs, we would be much stronger.In 1961, Terry Jo Duperrault, an 11year old girl was found alone on the Ocean in a small broken white raft. She over lived the family massacre and were drifting 4 days without water or food, far away from the Bahamas. She prayed to God and trusted in God… She is still alive!  Don't be limited through your beliefs. Also, we can use the energy of the cell for healing. With Qigong, acupuncture, acupressure we lead the energy through our body in a certain way to heal the body!My Video: Quantum physics proves that faith heals https://youtu.be/MiECabMy9M0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Quantum-physics-proves-that-faith-heals.mp3

Jack is interviewed by Ocean Robbins to explore the big spiritual questions—why there is suffering, how to navigate duality, making the ordinary holy, and cultivating a loving witness.Discover Your Buddha Nature with Jack Kornfield, an online journey for reclaiming our dignity, compassion, and generosity, beginning June 2.“It's important to not use spiritual practice to set up an ideal or judge yourself. Sometimes you need to shut down, and then you open again. So the spiritual path is really about being with both the calm ocean and the storm.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore:What first got Jack into mindfulness and meditationLife as beautiful, and an ocean of tearsSuffering, Buddhism, and the end of sufferingWhy is there suffering in the world?Navigating the reality of duality—form and emptiness, life and deathThe recycling nature of the universeHow to make the ordinary holyMeeting our lives with presenceA simple way to explain “The Witness”The magic of consciousnessA calming and deep guided meditation Holding fear and grief in compassionNot getting caught in reactions and angerActing the nobility of heart and your original dignity This episode was originally recorded for the Food Revolution Network in November of 2024. “Life is extraordinarily beautiful, and it's an ocean of tears. You can't have birth without death, you can't have light without dark, you can't have beginnings without endings. We live in a universe constructed of opposites. That's just the game of form, of duality. You can't have form without the emptiness from which it comes.” – Jack KornfieldAbout Ocean Robbins:Ocean Robbins is an American entrepreneur and author, best known for his role as the co-founder of Food Revolution Network, Inc.

He said, what I'm interested in is how to navigate the universe as it is, in a way that brings love, well-being, and freedom to all who want to awaken to this.” – Jack Kornfield See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
