Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this episode, we welcome Amy Larocca, author of 'How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, one Dubious Cure at a Time'. Amy joins us to discuss the intersection of fashion and wellness, chronic invisible illnesses, and the deceptive allure of the wellness industry. From her observations as a fashion journalist to her personal experiences and deep dive into the world of wellness, Amy reveals the psychological and cultural forces at play. We explore the commercialization of self-care, the rise of wellness trends, and the problematic blend of functional medicine with profit-driven motives. Amy also touches on the controversial role of celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, in promoting pseudoscience, and the constant societal pressure on women to achieve an unattainable standard of 'wellness'.

PREVIEW — Bruce Bechtol — Kim Jong-un's Vital Role in the Axis of Evil. Bechtol discusses how Kim Jong-un, despite international perceptions of him as a "clownish figure," is regarded with strategic seriousness by the "axis of evil," which now encompasses four nations. This respect stems from Pyongyang's formidable military capabilities, including a sophisticated arsenal of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, coupled with its demonstrated ability to manufacture and proliferate vital weapon systems required by axis partners throughout the region.

Dealing with outsiders - ACIM text Intro SummaryThe text frames forgiveness as the essential condition that allows prayer to rise. Prayer is timeless; forgiveness is temporary because it exists only as long as judgment exists. Judgment is the act of assigning meaning, dividing people into categories, and assuming one knows what things “mean.” Forgiveness is the release of these interpretations. When interpretations fall away, perception changes, and the present moment becomes workable. If one dislikes a person, situation, or oneself, the “problem” is usually the judgment attached to it, not the thing itself.Forgiveness ends when the belief in being a separate self ends—when identity is no longer the body or the stream of personal thoughts. In that state, everything is experienced as connected, already fulfilled, and harmless. Life becomes more like watching a play with Jesus rather than being trapped in it.Examples illustrate this.• Leila misinterpreted her child's social situation and built elaborate stories about rejection; once she asked directly, the situation dissolved and the judgment was revealed as fiction.• Jevon described feeling rejected at a conference, noticing how his own conflicting desires—wanting inclusion and wanting to escape—created inner turmoil.The text warns that forgiveness is often misunderstood. Many use it as a weapon, implying superiority or reinforcing guilt (“I forgive you, but you were wrong”). This is “forgiveness to destroy,” which keeps sin alive, enlarges error, and treats love as dangerous. Real forgiveness does the opposite: it sees sameness, not hierarchy.Guilt is discussed as the root of suffering. The primary guilt is the belief in separation from God, which generates the special, separate self. That guilt is projected outward, causing constant searching for fault. The ego promises fulfillment in separateness but delivers contradiction: wanting acceptance while wanting uniqueness; wanting children strong but wanting them shielded from hardship; wanting love but withholding openness. The ego's motto is “seek but do not find.”To undo guilt, one releases seriousness. Seriousness presumes that death is real, danger is real, and enemies exist. When seriousness dissolves, the need for an enemy dissolves. Attack—toward strangers, loved ones, or oneself—comes from believing danger is real and separation is real. If there is no “other,” there is no one to defend against.One discussion showed this dynamic:• kristen projected financial fear onto China and reacted with anger. Jevon pointed out the underlying fear—being asked for money and feeling trapped between giving and resenting or refusing and feeling guilty. The shift comes from reframing the ask as trust rather than burden.• Soo asked about “other” versus “enemy.” Jevon noted that an enemy begins as an “other,” and the world expands or contracts based on who is included in one's sense of oneness.• Conversations about belonging versus uniqueness showed that the conflict is not solved by choosing one side but by recognizing that both desires arise from the mistaken identity as a separate self.Several interpersonal examples explored how to respond to overwhelming or difficult people.• Leila struggled with a talkative acquaintance. Jevon suggested either the gentle advisory approach (“In my life I've found…”) or the direct but open-hearted approach (“Have you noticed that…?”). The point is authenticity, not accusation. Avoidance appears kind but is usually self-protection dressed as politeness. Real kindness is truthful, curious, and anchored in goodwill.• Healthy communication requires noticing one's own judgments and speaking from clarity rather than irritation. Accusatory statements trigger defense; open statements invite reflection. Space in conversation corresponds to space in the person's inner life; when someone barrels ahead without pause, they are often afraid of what others might say.Leila later reported success using direct honesty with another friend, which deepened connection. This reinforced the idea that oneness appears when false stories and hidden resentments are cleared.The closing idea: forgiveness is always self-forgiveness. One never truly forgives “another,” because what is seen in others is one's own projected guilt. Prayer is a vibrational state—gratitude without judgment. Forgiveness restores this state by releasing the belief in separation and the need for an enemy. When that belief drops, the world becomes harmless, unified, and safe, and one realizes that one has never been alone.#acim #forgiveness

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God ­breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty­-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical ­historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16­-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:5­8). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3­5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9­10). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:18­19). A message from Seneca Bible Baptist Church: “We would love to have you visit! “If you are looking for a church in the Seneca Falls, New York area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

There are many ditches and potholes to be avoided on life's path, and we are all prone to one or the other. Some live recklessly and die young, while others beat themselves up over things that are not even sin. There are also those who are experts at pointing out wrongs in others but never examine themselves. Solomon points out that the cause of all this is our sinful hearts: “See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.” Biblical wisdom wants us to avoid these pitfalls and live a life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This life of true wisdom only comes from a relationship with Jesus. For in Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”Take-Home Message: God alone knows the path of wisdom.The Foolishness of Being Overly Righteous (15-18)A Misunderstanding of the Sufficiency of the GospelThe Foolishness of Being Overly Reckless (15-18)A Misunderstanding of the Seriousness of the GospelThe Foolishness of Being Self-Righteous (19-22)A Misunderstanding of My Need of the GospelThe Problem of Sin (23-29)

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father attempts to weave humor into theology after seeing the Broken Mary movie, the Kevin Matthews story.  He shares jokes and stories to draw attention to how we can view situations/issues in society today.  He goes on to use theology and philosophy and the musical Les Miserables to show a perspective on the immigration and deportation issues of today.  He closes the podcast with a breakdown on his approach to the immigration and deportation our country is currently facing.

Have you ever dismissed that quiet inner nudge, only to regret it later? While most of us think we’re missing intuition, the truth is we’re systematically blocked from accessing it. We’ve been conditioned to trust logic over the whispers of our unconscious mind. But what if there was a way to reopen that bridge between rational thinking and deeper inner knowing? In this transformative episode, psychologist and bestselling author Athena Laz reveals the hidden psychological trap that’s been severing your connection to intuitive wisdom since childhood, and introduces a powerful archetypal framework that can restore it. The Science Behind Your Blocked Intuition Athena shares compelling research that proves intuitive abilities are real and measurable. Studies by researcher Rupert Sheldrake demonstrate that humans can sense when they’re being watched from kilometres away, even when facing the opposite direction. Countless people worldwide dream of natural disasters before they occur, often in places they’ve never visited. This isn’t mystical thinking. It’s documented human capacity that most of us have learned to ignore. Introducing the Medial Archetype The conversation centres on a revolutionary concept developed in the 1950s by analyst Tony Wolff, a brilliant collaborator of Carl Jung. Wolff identified what she called the “medial archetype” – a psychological structure that serves as a bridge between: The conscious and unconscious mind Dreams and waking reality The seen and unseen worlds Inner wisdom and external action Athena brings this forgotten archetype into modern times, showing how anyone can access this bridging function regardless of gender identity or background. Why Society Programmed You to Distrust Your Gut The episode explores how social conditioning systematically disconnects us from our natural intuitive abilities. From childhood, many of us learn that psychic experiences, vivid dreams, or “knowing” things without logical explanation aren’t acceptable. This creates what Athena calls a “psychological trap” – we possess the capacity for expanded awareness but have been taught to dismiss it as imagination or wishful thinking. Recognising the Medial Archetype in Daily Life The medial archetype appears through various channels: In Dreams: Figures serving as messengers or guides Symbols of bridges, rainbows, or infinity signs Angels or beings facilitating communication In Mythology: The Greek goddess Iris, who travels rainbow bridges between the divine and mortal realms Characters who mediate between different worlds or states of consciousness In Daily Life: Synchronicities that carry authentic weight and meaning Moments when inner and outer reality seem to respond to each other Natural emergence of symbolic experiences without prompting Practical Steps to Reconnect With Your Intuition Athena provides actionable guidance for developing intuitive abilities: Start Playfully Guess where the best parking space will be Before checking your phone, sense who the next email might be from Practice on low-stakes situations to remove pressure Begin Dream Work Write down the last dream you remember each morning Look for recurring symbols or themes Notice connections between dream content and waking life events Commit to Stillness Start with just 2 minutes of quiet sitting daily Gradually build to 10-20 minutes Develop “meta-awareness” – noticing your thoughts without judgment The Light and Shadow of Archetypal Work Working with the medial archetype brings significant benefits: Increased discernment Enhanced trust in the unknown Better navigation of life transitions Deeper connection to inner wisdom However, Athena emphasises potential challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by collective energies Difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries Need for grounding practices and realistic expectations Why This Matters Now More Than Ever In our polarised world, the medial archetype’s bridge-making function becomes crucial. As technology accelerates life to unsustainable speeds and external focus creates widespread anxiety, reconnecting with inner guidance offers both personal healing and cultural evolution. Research shows the average person spends over two hours daily scrolling mindlessly online while claiming they don’t have 10 minutes for inner stillness. Athena challenges this priority, asking: “Can you afford NOT to sit in those 20 minutes?” About Athena Laz Athena Laz is the bestselling author of “Women Who Dance in the Dark,” “The Alchemy of Your Dreams,” “The Sisterhood of Seers Oracle Deck,” and “The Deliberate Dreamer’s Journal.” Her books have been translated into more than 13 languages worldwide. As an intuitive, psychologist, and lucid dream teacher, she helps thousands of people connect with spirit and psyche through dreams, mysticism, intuitive development, and archetypal work. Three Golden Nuggets: Start Today Find Play in Seriousness – Approach intuitive development with curiosity rather than pressure. Do what makes you feel good. Record Your Dreams – Write down the last dream you remember each morning. This simple practice re-energises dream recall and memory. Practice Two-Minute Stillness – Sit quietly for just two minutes daily, developing awareness of your thoughts without judgment. Key Takeaway Accessing your intuitive abilities isn’t about becoming more “spiritual” – it’s about becoming more fully human. The boundary between inner and outer worlds is far more porous than we’ve been taught. Learning to navigate this reality with skill and discernment can transform how you make decisions, understand yourself, and move through the world.

"Exclusive Look at Life in War-Ravaged Gaza," reads the title for a CNN interview with correspondent Clarissa Ward. "'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid," report Yaniv Kubovich and Bar Peleg for Ha'aretz. "I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It," argues Omer Bartov in The New York Times. These stories have something in common: they're vital pieces of journalism about Gaza, or Palestine more broadly, published in Western and Western-aligned outlets. This is, obviously, important. Reporting like this keeps Western audiences informed about Israel's genocide in Gaza, fortifies sympathetic Westerners' solidarity with Palestine, and serves as an essential counter to the pro-Israel PR machine powering so much other Western media coverage. But while these pieces have made a splash among their audiences, in many cases, they're building upon points that Palestinian journalists, writers, and activists had been making weeks, months, even years before. So why is the reporting of Palestinian journalists–especially their reporting on what's happening within their own country and cities–so often ignored, only to be heeded after it gets the Western stamp of approval? On this episode — our Season 8 finale and also the second part of our two-part series on “The Importance of Seriousness, or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide” — we explore the discrepancies in the alleged credibility between Western and Israeli journalists and Palestinian and other Arab journalists, especially when it comes to reporting on Israel's genocide in Gaza. We'll look at how, by Western standards, journalists don't build legitimacy by being correct, so much as by being in close proximity to the political and media establishments. Our guest is writer and organizer Kaleem Hawa.

Seriousness is an occupational hazard for obsessive-compulsives, Type A's and perfectionists. Being serious can hurt relationships, mental health and physical health. Yet many of us feel duty-bound to be serious, and we lose out on the benefits of humor and laughter--which can melt the rigidity which comes with being so serious.  

Just when David thinks he got away with his sins (coveting, adultery, murder), God reminds him that He sees everything and that He takes sin seriously. Learn the sober lesson of how sin brings serious consequences, ultimately observed in the death of Jesus Christ. Pastor Matthew McNutt shares "The Seriousness of Sin" from 2 Samuel 12:1-18.

“12 UN Relief Works Agency staff members are accused of involvement in Hamas' attack against Israel,” reports NPR. “Details Emerge on U.N. Workers Accused of Aiding Hamas Raid,” announces The New York Times. “Hamas Military Compound Found Beneath U.N. Agency Headquarters in Gaza,” claims The Wall Street Journal. In January 2024—literally on the same day the International Court of Justice deemed Israel was committing “plausible genocide”—a number of sensationalistic headlines broke across U.S. media, namely The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, telling us in 40-point font that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the single most important supplier of food and medical aid in Palestine, was in fact a front for "Hamas." Western audiences were told that, based on “Israeli intelligence”, 12 workers at the agency may have been involved in the attacks on October 7, 2023, and, in another blockbuster claim, that “Around 10% of Palestinian aid agency's 12,000 staff in Gaza have links to militants, according to intelligence dossier.” Given this history, the logic went, who knows how else the agency might be operating at the behest of Hamas? It would have been a major revelation if there were any evidence to support it. But there wasn't and the story was later dropped, walked back or ignored by the media. But the damage was done: President Biden quickly defunded UNRWA and Israel criminalized it, helping fast track mass starvation in Gaza. So why did media outlets publish so many breathless and lurid headlines about Israel's claims without an ounce of independent confirmation? To what extent, if any, have outlets acknowledged their journalistic and moral recklessness? And how has this contributed to the mass starvation, immiseration, and wholesale murder of the population of Gaza? On this episode, Part I of our two-part season finale on “The Importance of Seriousness, or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide,” we examine the role of legacy news media in inciting the starvation of millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the racist double standard of what sources and experts can be trusted and the broader incitement campaign against the UN Relief and Works Agency which directly caused today's mass starvation in Gaza. Our guest is Moureen Kaki, Head of Mission at Glia.

They then get into some NFL headlines and share thoughts on comments by Aaron Glenn in which he stated Justin Fields is not trying to be the celebrity quarterback, which the guys believe may have been a shot at Aaron Rogers.

Send us a textGod has given every single one of us things to steward & diligently tend to that He desires for us to bear fruit in and multiply for the kingdom. And the realty is that we will ALL have to stand before Christ one day in regards to our stewardship. There, He will test the work we did with the time He gave us. The question is, will our work be worthless and burned up? Or will it have been of value and therefore stand the test of fire?

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss why you should bring energy to the interview.   Lots of candidates leave it to the interviewer to determine the energy levels, tone and mood of the call. That is a bad idea. In our experience, the best candidates always bring a light mood to interviews. Seriousness can hurt you as it is confused for anxiousness. Delegating the mood to the interview is bad idea since it means the energy of the case will be largely out of your control. Moreover, unless you practice controlling the energy, it is unlikely you will have this skill to deploy in the case interview itself.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?
