When the Grind Breaks You, the Soil Heals You — and Your Neighbor Probably Votes DifferentLet's be honest: this isn't about survival. Not really. Not for most. It's about escape.Escape from the office. From Amazon delivery windows. From fluorescent lights and HR training and Slack threads about “alignment.” The farm fantasy—whether it's a thousand acres in Idaho or six raised beds in your lawn—is about breaking free from the algorithmic chokehold of modern life. And you'd be surprised how many people on every side of the political divide are having the exact same dream.Your friend's ex-VC wife with the Stanford MBA and a Jacobin subscription? She's reading goat birthing manuals. Your cousin with the Punisher sticker on his F-150? He's welding a water catchment system for his raised coop. They're both watching the same YouTubers. Both whispering about diesel conversions. Both taking notes on how to barter for raw milk if things go sideways.This is how the hippie married the prepper.The Great Rural ResetThe city made you anxious. The suburb made you numb. Now you just want to breathe.Remote work let people scatter. First to the exurbs. Then to the country. Then to places with more goats than people—and with them came fears, dreams, sourdough starters, and political baggage. But something happens out there, past the DoorDash edge.You stop caring how someone voted.You start caring if they can fix your generator.Or unstick a frost-swollen coop door.Or deliver your partner's baby in a blizzard when EMTs are 45 minutes out.Trust becomes tactile. Relationships get proximate. It's the dating rule of proximity over ideology: you don't fall for someone across town—you fall for the one under you. In the foxhole. In the field. When the power's out and the internet's dead, your neighbor with the Trump sign is your lifeline. And your kombucha might be keeping his wife's gut biome sane.It gets real. Fast.The Commons Beneath the Culture WarFor all the talk of division, this is where it quietly collapses into coexistence.One grows tomatoes with crystal grids and moon phases. The other uses heirloom seeds and .308 rounds for deer season. One built a clay oven to honor their ancestors. The other just wanted pizza nights.Collapse isn't just about bunkers. It's about rediscovering the sacred in the practical. Food. Water. Shelter. Skill. These become the new currency. And when everyone's playing survivalist in their own way, ideology softens.Your herbalist neighbor and your gun-toting neighbor are trading eggs and tinctures. Not because they agree—but because they need each other.That's not culture war. That's populism. Dirt-under-your-fingernails populism. The kind that doesn't wear a red hat or a rainbow pin. It just wears work gloves.The Death of the Distant ExpertWhy are the rich building bunkers? Why are TikTokers buying goats? Why is there a whole YouTube genre of people drowning in zucchini and screwing up tomato canning?Because everyone feels the same thing: the center isn't holding.The State won't save you. The cops are too far. The apps die in the rain. And deep down, the dream isn't just homesteading. It's sovereignty.You want your own eggs. Your own power. Your own story.And so does everyone else.The Soil Is the Schism HealerThis is where the new populism lives—not in marches or manifestos, but in compost piles and diesel-stained fingers. The end-times rhetoric softens when you're feeding chickens. And if it doesn't? You'll still need your neighbor to help pull the calf from a breech.The culture war breaks when you realize you're living the same story—just from different starting points. One came from Whole Foods. The other from Walmart. But both ended up in the same mud.And both will be at the farmer's market this Saturday, nodding politely, swapping surplus kale, and maybe—just maybe—saving each other when the lights go out.

Vaisesika Dasa: It's easy to surrender to Krishna than not. I stand by that, from extensive experience. Audience: It feels easier sometimes not to surrender. Vaisesika Dasa: That's ignorance. You know, we get absorbed in ignorance. For instance, scrolling may seem to be a kind of shelter, but it's shelter in the mode of ignorance. And Kṛṣṇa then enlightens us In the Bhagavad Gītā, He says, "Shelter in the mode of ignorance leads to more foolishness. The shelter in the mode of passion leads to misery, but shelter in the mode of goodness leads to a sense of happiness." But the only shelter is shelter of Kṛṣṇa. He gives an example: even in the mode of goodness, it's like poison in the beginning, nectar in the end. And shelter in the mode of passion is nectar in the beginning, poison in the end. Relatable, right? So there is some tapasya in taking shelter of Krishna because of the ways in which the senses have become addicted to passion and ignorance and so forth. The remedy: 'śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ hṛdy antaḥ stho hy abhadrāṇi vidhunoti suhṛt satām. Naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī.tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati (SB 1.2.17-19).' By hearing Bhāgavatam then gradually all that clears up, and we can understand that our only shelter is Krishna. And then at the verse, "tadā rajas," I know when I was a kid, when we would do a magic show and pull a rabbit out of a hat or something, we would go, "Tada!" So in this verse, there's a point at which tadā means, "at that point." Tadā — I'm free from all these false shelters. Tadā rajas tamo 'bhāvāḥ. They're all diminishing because of the power of Krishna in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. So chanting Hare Krishna and hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—it's the panacea through which we can give up all bad shelters. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

A shelter dog predicted a guy's seizure at an adoption event in Virginia on Saturday. Her name is Sienna. The story has since gone viral and several people have filled out applications to adopt Sienna. STORY: https://www.wdjx.com/shelter-dog-predicts-a-seizure-at-adoption-event/

Officials say demand for shelter is down, and the state and its partners are moving families out of shelter at a record pace.

A moderate one with lots of twists, great for stiff lower backs. 

Riesling is the signature wine of Germany, but many casual wine drinkers have less familiarity with other German styles or with the country's wine regions. For this episode, importer Stephen Bitterolf of vom Boden (Instagram: @vomboden) helps demystify German wines and takes us on a tour of some of the country's producers, including Shelter, Seehof, Moritz Kissinger, Hild, and Vollenweider.    Radio Imbibe is the audio home of Imbibe magazine. In each episode, we dive into liquid culture, exploring the people, places, and flavors of the drinkscape through conversations about cocktails, coffee, beer, spirits, and wine.

Video version of a delightful chat with Willa, an Australian woman who has made her home in Zürich, Switzerland. Willa's encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain. Early one morning, she took a stroll through her friend's garden and came face to face with some beings, whom she describes as 'forest spirits', sitting in three trees growing inside a spiral of arrangement of rocks. As Willa described: "I saw them, they seemed to be “looking” at me. My impression was they were aware I could see them. The situation...lasted only for about a minute before they seemed to fold in on themselves and disappear." Describing herself as a lifelong 'skeptical person', we discuss how coming into contact with these beings has made a subsequent impact on Willa's life and how she feels about visiting this location in the Tarragona region again, later in the year. We also discuss Willa's call, to aid people like me and you who have become homeless. Here she is volunteering during lockdown in the kitchen of the Pfuusbus in Zürich.

Keith Wilson's first term as the mayor of Portland is off to a busy start: He's led the city through the transition to its new form of government, accounted for a $93 million shortfall in his proposed city budget — which will soon be finalized by City Council — and pushed for a big increase in spending on his signature issue of ending unsheltered homelessness in Portland. Today, we're checking in with Mayor Wilson about his first five months in office. Become a member of City Cast Portland today!

This episode contains explicit language. Next week, San Jose City Council will vote on a controversial plan that would threaten unhoused people with arrest if they refuse multiple offers of shelter. Mayor Matt Mahan says this approach could help open paths to treatment and increase support for more shelter construction. But Santa Clara County officials are skeptical.

Summer is here—and while kids are counting down the days until school's out, parents and grandparents might be counting something else: the cost.The good news? Some of the best family memories don't require a big budget. In fact, many of them are completely free. With a little creativity and intention, you can enjoy a summer that builds connection and joy without adding financial stress. Here are ten fun, meaningful, and no-cost activities to try this season.1. Visit Your Local LibraryLibraries today are vibrant community hubs, not just quiet places for books. Many offer summer reading programs, puppet shows, craft days, and even LEGO clubs. It's a screen-free space that fosters imagination and learning—and it won't cost a dime.2. Host a Themed Movie NightMovie nights are a classic, but turning them into themed events can make them feel extra special. Dress up like your favorite characters, make popcorn at home, and stream free movies from your library or other no-cost platforms. It's cozy, creative, and fun for all ages.3. Check Out Community EventsMany cities and towns host free concerts, movie nights, festivals, or farmers' markets during the summer. These events offer fun, fellowship, and a chance to connect with your community.4. Camp in Your BackyardYou don't need to travel far to enjoy the great outdoors. Set up a tent in your yard, roast marshmallows, and tell stories under the stars. Take time to reflect on God's handiwork with your kids. Psalm 8:3–4 reminds us how the majesty of creation points us to the Creator who cares for us deeply.5. Host a Yard SaleLet your kids gather items, make signs, and manage a mini storefront. It's not only a great way to declutter—it also teaches stewardship, contentment, and even generosity. If your kids choose to give a portion of the proceeds to someone in need, you're planting seeds of compassion early.6. Try GeocachingIf your family enjoys treasure hunts or geocaching, it's a great way to explore the outdoors. All you need is a smartphone and a free app to search for hidden “caches” in your area. It's adventurous, educational, and completely free.7. Plan a Neighborhood Game DayBring back the joy of simple play. Organize a kickball game, water balloon fight, or capture the flag in your neighborhood. Partner with other families to rotate homes and activities—it's a no-cost way to foster community and make memories that stick.8. Make a Summer Bucket ListSit down as a family and dream up a list of simple activities—things like catching fireflies, building a fort, or learning a new skill. Writing them down and checking them off together adds a sense of excitement and shared accomplishment.9. Explore NatureNature is one of God's most generous gifts. Visit local parks, walk trails, or bike together through a nearby preserve. Psalm 19:1 reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Whether it's birdsong or wildflowers, creation invites us to slow down and worship.10. Serve TogetherServing others is one of the most meaningful things a family can do. Volunteer at a local shelter, visit a nursing home, or make cookies for your neighbors. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). A summer of service can have an eternal impact.The Riches of a Simple SummerIt's easy to believe that a fun summer must come with a hefty price tag, but God often surprises us with joy in the simplest things. Sunshine, laughter, love, and time together are among His most generous gifts—and they're completely free.So, as you make your summer plans, don't focus on what you can spend. Instead, focus on how you can wisely steward the time and relationships God has given you. After all, the best summer memories are built with presence, not purchases.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking into annuities, and I know nothing about the risks. When they say 6% for three years, is that rate guaranteed to remain locked in? I looked up the rating, and it's a B++ rating by AM Best.I have a long-term insurance policy from Genworth that started in 1999. The premiums have increased dramatically from $1,500 to $11,000 annually. We're in our early 80s and nearing the time to use the policy. The company wants us to sell, but we have a clause that stops premium payments if one of us dies. I'm unsure whether to keep the policy. I'm 60 years old and have worked at the same job for 40 years. I've become chemically sensitive to the product we manufacture and can no longer work with it. I'm basically at retirement, with all bills paid and a house paid off. I have $500,000 saved in CDs, $60,000 in the bank, and I'm thinking of putting half of the $500,000 in a lifetime mutual fund.
