On todays Show we celebrate the return of Texas Jim and we talk about Jimbo's paper on early Christian liturgical and catechetical patterns, which identified 12 features of apostolic Christianity. These include beliefs in God's unity, Jesus' divinity and humanity, and the resurrection. Jimbo compared Apostolic Fathers' texts with Nag Hammadi texts, finding that only the Secret Book of James and some Valentinian texts partially aligned with the narrative pattern. The paper concluded that early Christianity was unified around these beliefs, despite diverse practices. The conversation also touched on the implications of these findings for modern Christian orthodoxy and the importance of implicit versus explicit theological statements. The discussion delves into the interpretation of the Bible, emphasizing the depth beyond literalism. Speaker 2 critiques the shallow approach of Richard Dawkins and others, advocating for a deeper understanding of Christianity's narrative and salvific plan. The conversation highlights the unity of Christianity through 12 core features, despite diverse practices like communion. They contrast this with Gnostic texts, which deviate significantly from Apostolic Christian principles. The narrative pattern unites major Christian denominations, including Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Catholicism. Don't miss it!

3x Sacred Energies Harvested from YOU Daily! | Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (EP504) Today, I want to talk about a difficult subject to bridge—one that we have to discuss: creative or reproductive energy. This sacred force fuels not only biological creation but also our ability to innovate, dream, and manifest reality. Yet in modern society, this powerful energy is systematically extracted and redirected through our occupations, distractions, and consumption habits, often benefitting external systems rather than ourselves, our families, or our communities. We'll explore how this energy is drained, what the forbidden fruit from the Secret Book of John reveals about uniting the spiritual and physical self, and how we can reclaim this force to live intentionally. Let's dive into the hidden mystery of harnessing this sacred energy to manifest abundance, purpose, and a better reality for ourselves and those around us. ——— The Supernatural Kingdom is Within. Awaken Warrior! ⛥

BEYOND Ancient “god' Is Trapping You on Earth! | Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (EP501) Yaldabaoth stationed seven kings, one for each sphere of heaven, to reign over the seven heavens, and five to reign over the depth of the abyss.  He shared his fire with them, but he did not give away any of the power of the light that he had taken from his mother. For he is ignorant darkness. When light mixed with darkness, it made the darkness shine. When darkness mixed with light, it dimmed the light and became neither light nor darkness, but rather gloom. This gloomy ruler has three names: the first name is Yaldabaoth, the second is Sakla, the third is Samael. - Secret Book of John

An interview with Dr. Samuel Zinner Dr. Samuel Zinner describes the ancient Apocryphon (or Secret Book) of James, then, focusing on two common elements in so-called ‘gnosticism'—the meaning of the demiurge and ascending—he shows how this text does not neatly fit any category. It includes no reference to demiurge, but it does involve a lengthy and unusual description of Jesus, Peter, and James all ascending.  Inclusion in the Nag Hammadi collection does not necessarily define something as ‘gnostic,' as this text illustrates.  Zinner is an award-winning author and scholar of Holocaust studies, ecumenism, modern and ancient languages, literature and history, and has been published internationally in a variety of languages by Oxford University Press, de Gruyter, and others. He has contributed articles to Religions Journal and served as peer review referee for several academic journals. He is also a documentary script writer, having worked with Jean-Claude Bragard, the creator of award-winning programs for the BBC. Zinner has collaborated with eminent scholars on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Hebrew scriptures. He's currently an editor for the forthcoming Origins and Applications of Language and Number with contributions from several eminent scholars, and he presents at conferences such as "The Bible and the Qur'an: Comparative Studies” at the Shahid Beshita University in Tehran. His current book that we discuss in this podcast interview is The Apocryphon of James (NHC 1,2), a scholarly work on the text more popularly known as the Secret Book of James.

Darwin kept reminding his colleagues that the Origin of Species was just an abstract. Why did he publish it hurriedly?

In this episode, David and Gene begin their exploration of "The Secret Gospel of John," also known as the "Apocryphon of John," a pivotal text in the Sethian Gnostic tradition. They discuss the text's history, its multiple versions, and its significance as a comprehensive presentation of Gnostic cosmology and theology.The discussion delves into the concept of the Monad, the ultimate unity in Gnostic thought, comparing it to similar ideas in Pythagoreanism and Kabbalah, and exploring its characteristics as the ineffable, unnameable source of all qualities. In the process, David and Gene draw parallels with modern cosmology and to the symbolism of the point within a circle, relating it to biological concepts like seeds and zygotes, while always emphasizing the text's primary focus, which is on the inner world of the mind.This episode introduces Barbelo, the first emanation from the Monad, representing forethought and the beginning of psychic evolution. David and Gene examine the qualities attributed to Barbelo and how these relate to human consciousness. They conclude by discussing the "birth" of Christ as a metaphor for the self-reflective development of mind, emphasizing the importance of understanding these texts as spiritual guidebooks rather than mere stories.This is the first episode of a multi-part series on the “Secret Gospel of John.” It begins the exegesis of the text, and also stage for a deeper exploration of Gnostic philosophy as a path of spiritual discovery and growth.Deep Dive:Secret Book of JohnChapters:01:15 Introduction02:39 The Apocryphon of John04:28 History of the Text07:02 Secret Book of John11:06 The Monad14:42 Point in the Circle20:22 Barbelo25:13 The Birth of Christ27:57 ConclusionsResources:MiddleChamber.org - Symposium on Masonic EsotericaThe Nag Hammadi ScripturesThe Apocryphon of John - Frederik Wisse TranslationGnosis.org - The Gnosis ArchiveThe Red Book: A Reader's Edition by Carl Jung

An Interview with Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien Kimberly Bauser McBrien finds the Secret Book of James to be a humorous critique on the idea of apostolic authority. From our 21st-century perspective, it is difficult to decipher the difference between a weird or absurd tale from a clever parody on a serious subject. She argues that this late second century author is taking shots at his contemporaries who gave weight to apostolic credentials through false claims of unity or the experience of temporary ascending. Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien is a Lecturer at Trinity University, teaching various courses in New Testament and Early Christian History. Her PhD from Boston College was on social memory theory and the way it helps us understand how the sayings of Jesus were preserved and produced. This podcast is a discussion of her new article in the Journal of Early Christian Studies, titled “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Third Heaven: Reading the Secret Book of James (NHC I, 2) with a Parodic Imagination,” (Summer 2024 edition).

An Interview with Dr. David Brakke David Brakke challenges the common notion that Christians had a New Testament type of Bible by around 200. Rather, he claims, their Bible was Jewish scriptures plus a wide variety of written texts by Jesus followers used in multiple contexts. Marcion and his followers would have been the exception, since he rejected the Jewish writings. Brakke's recent analysis of two ancient Christian texts concludes that the early Christian years were diverse and served different purposes before the biblical canon was established. Irenaeus, the Church Father of the second century, probably set the tone for an approval or disapproval of certain texts. He thought various texts should reflect the rule of faith for that time, and this would have excluded such texts as Valentinian – or so-called gnostic types of writing. On the other hand, Irenaeus was also aware of 'barbarian Christians' who had no text at all. That didn't seem to concern him. Brakke summarizes from his study of the two second-century texts—the Muratorian Fragment and the Secret Book of James—that Christians were very different in antiquity. In 200, people were not interested in asking for a New Testament. They sort of agree on some ancient writings which were very useful, but others not at all.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP400 In the Secret Book of John, ancient Gnostic scriptures, profound theories about the soul's fate and existence are revealed. Through a dialogue between the speaker and the savior, the text explores the nature of salvation and the influence of spirits. The concept of the spirit of life is central, empowering individuals to cleanse themselves of evil and attain perfection. Those guided by this spirit are deemed worthy of eternal life. However, souls misled by a misleading spirit go astray. Upon departing the flesh, souls' destinies vary based on their strength and understanding (Gnosis). Some escape evil, while others undergo awakening for salvation. The text hints at interconnectedness, suggesting salvation through association with enlightened beings. However, Biblical themes continue where souls turning away from knowledge face eternal punishment. The contemptible spirit's origins lie in the jealousy of the first ruler (Yaldabaoth), leading to corruption and entrapment in the material realm repeatedly. In essence, the Secret Book of John prompts reflection on existence, choice, and the soul's transcendent journey through time, space and multiple incarnations.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP387 The Secret Book of John describes the creation of Adam, not in the traditional biblical sense, but within a Gnostic framework. In this account, Yaldabaoth (the Demiurge) and the authorities under him create Adam, the first human, as an image of God. Each authority contributes a psychical feature, and the powers collectively create Adam with the goal of obtaining light from him. The creation process involves the contribution of various psychical substances and the organization of limbs and body parts by angelic beings. The description provides a detailed account of the creation of each part of Adam's body, from the head to the toes, with specific authorities and angels assigned to each aspect. In light of ancient Indian metaphysics, particularly within Hinduism and Vedanta philosophy, there are some parallels and points of comparison: - Cosmic Creation: Both traditions explore the concept of creation from a cosmic perspective. In Hinduism, the universe is created and sustained by Brahman, the ultimate reality, while in Gnosticism, there's a similar notion of a higher divine realm from which the material world emanates. - Hierarchy of Beings: Both traditions depict hierarchies of beings involved in creation. In Hinduism, there are gods, demigods, and various celestial beings responsible for different aspects of creation and governance. Similarly, in the Gnostic text, there are authorities and angels involved in the creation of Adam, each with their assigned tasks. - The Role of Materiality: Both traditions grapple with the concept of materiality and its relationship with the spiritual realm. In Hinduism, the material world (maya) is considered illusory and temporary, while the true reality lies beyond it. Gnosticism similarly views the material world as flawed and inferior, created by a lower deity (the Demiurge) and distinct from the higher spiritual reality. - Psychic and Material Components: The description of the creation of Adam in the Secret Book of John involves both psychic and material components, reminiscent of the idea of the subtle body (linga sharira) and the gross physical body (sthula sharira) in Hindu philosophy. The psychical features contributed by the authorities could be seen as analogous to the subtle aspects of human existence, while the physical body corresponds to the gross material aspect. - Ethical and Psychological Dimensions: Both traditions delve into ethical and psychological dimensions of human existence. The Gnostic text explores the origin of human passions and vices, similar to the way Hindu philosophy examines the nature of desire, attachment, and suffering, and their impact on spiritual evolution. Overall, while there are parallels between the creation story in the Secret Book of John and ancient Indian metaphysics, there are also distinct theological and philosophical differences. Each tradition offers its unique perspective on the nature of reality, the human condition, and the path to spiritual liberation. Note: Always do your own research in regard to any theory.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP388 Across ancient spiritual texts, there exists a recurring theme of a profound spiritual technology. Referred to by various names such as the Holy Spirit, intuition, inner wisdom, higher self, etc, this essence embodies an inherent unity and agreement with itself. It refrains from judgment towards others, recognizing the interconnectedness of all existence and acknowledging the cosmic simulation/game in which we are participants. This spiritual essence serves as a guiding force, offering profound awareness and insight into the nature of reality and our place within it.  "The Secret Book of John" offers profound insights into the origins of spiritual technology and its application in our lives. Through its teachings, we can explore the genesis of this spiritual essence and learn how to harness its power for personal growth and enlightenment. Let's delve into its wisdom together and uncover the transformative potential it holds for us. Creation of the Psychical Body: The text describes how angels and demons worked together to fashion the psychical body of Adam. This can be seen as a metaphor for the material or earthly aspect of human existence. Prayer and Divine Intervention: When the mother (likely a reference to the divine feminine aspect) desired to reclaim power from the first ruler (Yaldabaoth, often depicted as a false god or demiurge in Gnostic texts), she prayed to the "most merciful mother-father of all," which can be interpreted as the divine source. This illustrates the concept of seeking guidance and intervention from a higher power through prayer or spiritual practice. Empowerment of Adam: The "five luminaries" sent by the mother-father advised Yaldabaoth to breathe his spirit into Adam, symbolizing the infusion of divine essence into humanity. This act imbued Adam with power and enlightenment, representing the activation of the divine spark within each individual. Jealousy and Expulsion: The other powers, realizing Adam's enlightenment and superiority, became jealous and cast Adam into the lowest part of the material realm. This reflects the struggle between the spiritual and material aspects of existence, where enlightened individuals may face opposition and persecution from worldly forces. Divine Compassion and Assistance: Despite Adam's fall, the mother-father demonstrates compassion by sending a helper, referred to as "enlightened afterthought" or "life," to assist Adam in regaining wholeness and knowledge. This helper represents the Holy Spirit, which guides and supports individuals on their spiritual journey, aiding in their restoration and growth. Hidden Divine Presence: The enlightened afterthought is hidden within Adam to avoid detection by the rulers, symbolizing the inner spiritual guidance and wisdom accessible to humanity. This emphasizes the notion of divine presence within each individual, guiding them towards enlightenment and redemption. Note: Always do your own research in regard to any theory.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP381 In Gnostic mythology, particularly in texts like the Secret Book of John, the divine is often depicted as a complex interplay between the divine feminine and masculine principles. Barbelo, representing the divine feminine, is associated with wisdom and serves as the emanation or companion to the divine masculine principle. The union of these principles gives rise to a divine offspring, symbolized as the "Son of God" or the "Light," embodying spiritual enlightenment and knowledge.  In the context of simulation theory, parallels between these symbolic constructs and the idea that our perceived reality is a simulated construct are easily drawn. The divine principles may be seen as analogous to fundamental forces shaping the simulated reality, and the quest for gnosis aligns with the pursuit of understanding the nature of this simulated existence, mirroring the Gnostic emphasis on transcending the material world to attain higher knowledge. Barbelo is often considered a divine emanation or aeon. She is described as the first emanation from the ultimate, ineffable God. Barbelo plays a significant role in certain Gnostic texts, including the Secret Book of John, where she is portrayed as the mother or consort of the self-generated divine being, often identified as mother of Christ or the Savior. The Gnostic cosmology is complex, and Barbelo's role varies across different Gnostic traditions. Note: Always do your own research in regard to any theory.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP379 Across time, humans have been fixated on the notion of "perfection." But what does it truly signify? Is it an elusive, lofty objective, or is it something well within our reach, albeit obscured from view? In the exploration ahead, I will delve into various scriptures and the notion of achieving perfected humanity… The Secret Book of John says: The figure said to me, John, John, why are you doubting? Why are you afraid? Are you not familiar with this figure? Then do not be fainthearted.  I am with you always. I am the father, I am the mother, I am the son. I am the incorruptible and the undefiled one.   Now I have come to teach you what is, what was, and what is to come,  that you may understand what is invisible and what is visible; and to teach you about the unshakable and perfect humankind.   So now, lift up your head that you may understand the things I shall tell you today, and that you may relate them to your spiritual friends, who are from the unshakable and perfect humankind. Within the hidden pages of the Secret Book of John, the concept of an ‘unshakable and perfect humankind' emerges as a goal that Jesus himself envisions as attainable. It suggests that the impact of such perfection might already be present among humanity. The Greek definition of perfection sheds light on what I believe Jesus was alluding to… teleios: having reached its end, i.e. complete, by ext. perfect Original Word: τέλειος, α, ον Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: teleios Phonetic Spelling: (tel'-i-os) Definition: having reached its end, complete, perfect Lastly, the Gospel of Matthew elucidates canonical scripture's guidance on achieving completeness through the practice of detachment… Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Note: Always do your own research in regard to any theory.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP378 Who or What is the father of Jesus, Yeshua, Issa, Christ? The Gnostic scripture called “The Secret Book of John” may actually have the answer along with the hidden message in the more commonly known canonical gospels!… The Secret Book of John says: The One is the invisible spirit. We should not think of it as a god or like a god. For it is greater than a god, because it has nothing over it and no lord above it.  It does not exist within anything inferior to it, since everything exists within it alone.  It is eternal, since it does not need anything. For it is absolutely complete. It has never lacked anything in order to be completed by it. Rather, it is always absolutely complete in light.  The One is illimitable, since there is nothing before it to limit it, unfathomable, since there is nothing before it to fathom it, immeasurable, since there was nothing before it to measure it, invisible, since nothing has seen it, eternal, since it exists eternally, unutterable, since nothing could comprehend it to utter it, unnamable, since there is nothing before it to give it a name.  The One is the immeasurable light, pure, holy, immaculate. The One is unutterable and is perfect in incorruptibility. Not that it is part of perfection or blessedness or divinity: it is much greater. The One is not corporeal and is not incorporeal. The One is not large and is not small. It is impossible to say, “How much is it? What kind is it?”  Note: Always do your own research in regard to any theory.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP365 Today, I am unveiling my perspective on why I posit that Jesus did not intend for individuals to merely attain a state of being 'right' with the God portrayed in the Bible. Instead, I propose that his underlying message was for people to transcend conventional notions and ascend to a level where they embody a divine essence, acting as conduits for what I term the 'Christ-light Code.' In this paradigm, I am firmly convinced that Jesus imparted a concealed message encouraging individuals to recognize themselves as divine entities and channels for a higher source, denoted as Father-Energy, Mother-Wave, and Son-Light. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright λαμπρός (lampros) and Morning πρωϊνός (prōinos) Star ἀστὴρ (astēr). - Revelation 22:16 How you have fallen from heaven, O Morning Star (shining one) הֵילֵ֣ל (hê·lêl), son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! - Isaiah 14:12-13 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light φωτὸς (phōtos).” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. - John 12:36 Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods Θεοί (Theoi)?' - John 10:34 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son Υἱὸν (Huion) of Man ἀνθρώπου (anthrōpou) be lifted up ὕψωσεν (hypsōsen), that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  - John 3:14-15  Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." - Gospel Of Thomas L77 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;' yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God. - Ezekiel 28:2 Enki, the king of the Abzu (Sea), justly praises himself in his majesty: "My father, the king of heaven and earth, made me famous in heaven and earth. My elder brother, the king of all the lands, gathered up all the divine powers and placed them in my hand. I brought the arts and crafts from the E-kur, the house of Enlil, to my Abzu in Eridu. - Enki And The World Order You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a slayer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. - John 8:44 Atraḥasis made ready to speak, and said to the Elders: "My god does not agree with your god, Enki and Enlil are constantly angry with each other. They have expelled me from the land. Since I have always reverenced Enki, he told me this. - Epic Of Atraḥasis (Noah) However, I Jesus, caused them to eat (of the fruit). - The Secret Book of John No one has seen God at any time. The only born μονογενὴς (monogenēs) Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him. - John 1:18 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.” - John 8:58 In essence, I assert that Jesus' teachings were not solely about establishing a connection with a distant God but rather about recognizing and harnessing the divine potential within oneself.

Manifestation is a hot topic in the spiritual space. The practice can be beautiful, but it can also highlight many of the overarching issues that plague the spiritual community including racism, classism, privilege, and spiritual bypassing. If manifestation has been difficult for you to align with, or if you're interested in shaking up your current manifestation routine, you'll want to tune into this episode from start to finish. Join us as we chat with Deva Holliday, a Los Angeles based actress and comedian shining a whole new light on the practice of manifesting. Deva is the mastermind behind Niche Manifestations, which has become a viral TikTok sensation, even catching the attention of major news outlets like Cosmopolitan Magazine and Good Day LA. We dive into Deva's signature manifestation style, which highlights the importance of leveraging humor while walking a spiritual path. We also zoom out to explore the concept of manifesting overall — what it is, why it works, how it can be problematic, and how you can use it as a positive and productive part of your spiritual practice. In this episode, you'll hear about Deva's storied background, from her cult commune upbringing, to decolonizing and reconditioning the religious and social imprints she received as a child, to harnessing the power of gratefulness, to her current thriving life in Los Angeles, and more. About Deva Holliday:Deva Holliday is an actress/comedian based out of Los Angeles. Her Niche Manifestations TikTok account is a passion project that she runs solo, from the photographs used to the editing to the writing. In a collaboration with Briana Wolf, Deva (as Niche Manifestations) released two of her manifestations as songs streamable on every platform. The “UTI Manifestation” and “IBS Manifestation” are not only entertaining and useful manifestations but beautiful songs as well.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP330 The similarities between Jesus as "the Light of the World" and Lucifer as the "Light Bringer" are more apparent in terms of the symbolism and interpretation surrounding their respective titles rather than in their character or intended roles, as these figures have vastly different contexts and meanings in various religious traditions. According to this secret text, called “The Secret Book of John" Jesus is revealing himself as the serpent in the garden, and the bringer of light! …As for the tree called “The Knowledge Of Good And Evil”It is the Epinoia of the light.They commanded him not to eat from it,Standing in front to conceal it,For fear that he might look upwards to the fullnessAnd know the nakedness of his indecency. However, I caused them to eat.I asked the Savior,“Lord, isn't it the serpent that caused Adam to eat?”He smiled and replied,“The serpent caused them to eatin order to produce the wickedness of the desire to reproducethat would make Adam helpful to him.”… - The Secret Book of John Light symbolism: Jesus as the "Light of the World" is a title from Christian theology, emphasizing his role as a guiding and illuminating force in the lives of believers. It reflects his teachings, values, and the spiritual enlightenment he offers. Lucifer, which means "light-bringer" or "morning star," is a title often associated with the fallen angel in various interpretations, especially in Christian demonology. In this context, it represents a being who once held a position of light and enlightenment but was cast out due to rebellion. Archetypal roles: In some interpretations, both Jesus and Lucifer can be seen as archetypal figures in the struggle between (perceived) good and evil, representing the ongoing battle between light and darkness. × I Create Vids About Supernatural Realms.

Hear about different aspects of women's lives in World War Two through five new fictional books recommended by Cheryl McKeon of the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza. "The Enemy at Home: A Thrilling Historical Suspense Novel" (Kevin O'Brien, 2023), set in Seattle, has a serial killer targeting Rosie the Riveters. "Good Night Irene: A Novel" (Luis Alberto Urrea, 2023) is based on the author's mother's true experiences as a "Doughnut Dolly" on the war front, which combines war descriptions with "laugh out loud funny" tales of female friendship. "The First Ladies" (Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray, 2023) tells of the friendship between Eleanor Rosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune, the "first lady of the civil rights movement." "Flatlands" (Sue Hubbard, 2023) and "The Secret Book of Flora Lea" (Patti Callahan Henry, 2023) each explore the experiences of grown British "Pied Piper children" who were sent from urban areas to rural foster homes for safety. And for a break from war, check out "The Book of (More) Delights" (Ross Gay, 2023). For more information, visit www.bhny.com. Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.   Commercial : CU of GA   STORY 1 Tax     In Cobb County, some homeowners were surprised by higher property tax assessments recently received in the mail. The county's Board of Tax Assessors sent out assessment notices to the majority of homeowners, with three out of four seeing an increase in their home's assessed value. This means higher property taxes for many residents. One homeowner, Eileen Johnson, saw her assessed value increase by 51% since last year. The county's property digest, which calculates the total taxable value, is expected to grow by more than the projected 13%. The booming real estate market and low housing inventory contribute to the rising property values. Homeowners have 45 days to appeal the assessment if they disagree. The tax assessor's office provides assistance and encourages residents to verify their home's data and compare recent sales in their neighborhood. The actual tax bills will be sent out in August.         Story 2: GOP   The Cobb Republican Party is searching for a new location for its headquarters. Since 2010, the party has been based in a strip mall across from Roswell Street Baptist Church. The church sold the property to an investment group, and when the GOP attempted to renew its lease, the landlord declined, as a neighboring Vespa dealer wanted to expand into their space. The landlord offered an alternative building, but the rent was double the current amount. Party Chair Salleigh Grubbs stated that they would find another place within their budget. They are exploring options in Marietta to ensure convenience for attendees of GOP events. While they could hold meetings in various locations like the Democrats do, they prefer a permanent and spacious meeting space. The monthly breakfast will continue at the current headquarters until June 3rd, featuring notable speakers.     Story 3: L. Judge   Democrat Laura Judge has launched her campaign for the Cobb County school board, announcing her candidacy at Tin Lizzy's Cantina in east Cobb. As a mother of two children attending Cobb schools and an active volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Judge aims to address community concerns regarding financial decisions, literacy, school safety, and discipline issues. Incumbent David Banks, in the Post 5 seat for 15 years, is undecided about running for a fifth term due to health considerations. Judge is involved with Watching the Funds - Cobb and serves as the education chair in Democratic Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson's "Community Cabinet" . Republican candidate John Cristadoro has also announced his bid for Banks' seat. The primary is tentatively scheduled for May 21, 2024, followed by the general election on November 5, 2024…..we'll be right back   Break:   ESOG– Dayco   STORY 4: Smyrna   Mayor Derek Norton inaugurated a new garden event space at the historic Reed House in Smyrna, Georgia. The $300,000 project transformed the undeveloped land into a beautiful venue with a walking trail, gazebo, rock benches, various flowers, trees, and a large green lawn for gatherings. The Reed House, built in 1910 by architect Leila Ross Wilburn, was purchased by the city in 2015 and underwent extensive renovations. The city plans to use the Reed House similar to the Taylor-Brawner House for rentals, receptions, weddings, and classes. The director of Parks and Recreation, Richard Garland, expressed excitement for the community to utilize the space for outdoor events, and Councilman Tim Gould praised the project as a remarkable addition.       STORY 5: Cobb Schools   The Cobb school board has approved several personnel changes, including the appointment of a new chief of staff and chief school leadership officer for Superintendent Chris Ragsdale. Sherri Hill, the current chief school leadership officer, will take over as chief of staff effective July 1, replacing Kevin Daniel, who is retiring.

Take a deep breath with me. Breathe in fresh air down to your toes. Feel it swirl through your veins as it collects all that smoky, sticky energy that does not serve you. Now exhale. You may even cough for a few seconds afterwards. 2023 is teaching us to put ourselves first. Like the advisement we receive from airplane flight crews, it's critically important we take a breath from the metaphorical oxygen mask first before we assist anyone else. That's the lesson we have to learn, and master this year. Self-care comes first. I mention this, because I am STILL recovering from a flu I got in December. If I do too much, forget to drink water or rest when my body is screaming to stop, then the illness tries to come back. Even knowing this, I slip up. I forget myself. Take myself for granted. No angel embodies this better than Archangel Uriel. Haven't heard of him? I hope after this episode you fall in love with this essential celestial being.Uriel's nameWell known to Russian Orthodox faithful, Uriel's name translated to, “God is my flame.”In the Gnostic book, the Secret Book of John, written by Zebadee's son, and James' brother, Uriel is said to be placed in charge of demons. He is the third angel named in the Testament of Solomon.  He is mentioned in the Second Book of Esdras, found in biblical apocrypha in which Ezra asks God a slew of questions and Uriel is sent by God to instruct him. In the Christian apocryphal gospels Uriel and his role differ depending on the source. In one, Uriel was critically important in the rescue of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. He carries John and his mother Saint Elizabeth to join the Holy Family after their Flight into Egypt. Their reunion is depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks.If you haven't seen this da Vinci painting, do a web search. It will be familiar. Uriel is seated on the right, has auburn curls and wears a gray and coral tunic of sorts. When I meditate and ask for Uriel's protection, I visualize hiCurious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

Dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris, une petite rue pavée du quartier des Abessses. On s'arrête devant une maison blanche, on sonne. Etienne Daho nous reçoit, à l'occasion de la sortie du livre Etienne Daho, a Secret Book de Sylvie Coma qui retrace sa carrière, chez lui, dans un « ancien atelier d'artiste dans lequel a vécu Buffalo Bill ».Le chanteur âgé de 66 ans évoque son enfance en Algérie, son père qu'il a très peu connu, son premier concert à l'Olympia pour voir Petula Clark, sa fascination pour Nico et Marilyn Monroe, son emballement adolescent pour Pink Floyd et la pop anglaise des années 1960, sa rencontre avec les Stinky Toys, son début de carrière dans la chanson, son travail d'écriture, ses tenues de scène, la célébrité et son amour pour la voix de la chanteuse Norma Tenaga et l'écriture de Jean Genet. Il revient également sur la lutte qu'il faut mener au quotidien pour être soi-même : « On vous enferme beaucoup dans des cases. Moi, je suis un homme de la conquête. J'ai transformé tout ce qui aurait pu être du chaos dans ma vie. Le côté victime, chialeur, c'est tout sauf moi. »Depuis quatre saisons, la productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal)préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Imène BenlachtarRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Acast.
