00:00:00 – Stream-Deck Chaos & AI Cover Songs: We kick off wrestling with fresh software updates that broke the video switcher, then marvel at lightning-fast AI covers of Mike's 2005 skate-punk tune “Everyone Piggy James,” asking whether any robot could ever replicate the show's improv shenanigans. 00:10:00 – Hulk Hogan's Dungeon of Doom Flashback: A trip down WWE memory lane—Mike plays a vintage vignette of Hulk Hogan waking up in the Dungeon of Doom and wonders how to teach an AI why this ridiculousness is funny. 00:20:00 – Geo-engineering Whistle-blower Claims: Nicole Shanahan's X-thread sparks debate about renamed “climate-intervention” grants and DARPA black files; the crew recalls the Mirage Men playbook and warns of disinfo boomerangs. 00:30:00 – Is the Epstein Dam About to Burst?: With promised transparency still MIA, the guys predict resignations—or a strategic perp walk—if long-sealed files finally surface, while ICE raids and heavy-handed enforcement add to the pressure. 00:40:00 – Sensationalism vs. Skepticism in UFO News: A Washington Examiner piece prompts a three-way theory showdown—secret tech, rival superpowers, or a sliver of true “alien” craft—plus speculation about a hidden breakaway civilization. 00:50:00 – “A Lot of Milk” & UFO Fatigue: After decades of recycled lore, listeners—and even Congress—seem numb; repeating the same three whistle-blowers is turning real curiosity into background noise. 01:00:00 – Storm Area 51: The Netflix ‘Train-Wreck': Remember the Facebook meme that drew 150 brave souls to a gate in the desert?

In a brilliant display of malicious compliance, several cities are outmaneuvering GOP efforts to ban Pride flags on public property by simply making the rainbow banner their official city symbol. This tactical genius exposes the glaring hypocrisy of so-called "small government" proponents who have no issue legislating what colors citizens can fly, while simultaneously defending the divisive, hateful imagery of the Confederacy. It's a bold, "punk as fuck" stand against authoritarian bigotry and religious overreach, revealing how deeply threatened some are by inclusivity and basic human decency. This act of defiance serves as a beacon of hope against the relentless assault on human rights and freedom of expression, reminding us that critical thinking and resistance are vital in a climate where fear and ignorance are weaponized to control.News Source: GOP Fumes as City Outsmarts Pride Flag Ban By Daniel Villarreal for lgbtq nation June 7, 2025

Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several real-life murder investigations, in case the theory was true. The concept has been repeatedly debunked as a forensic method.

Together, they explore what it means to be a Splankna practitioner, the challenges of navigating the subconscious, and how God meets people in profound ways during sessions.

A Georgia high school just pulled the plug on "The Crucible" because a few pearl-clutching parents deemed it "demonic." The irony! This isn't just baffling censorship; it's a symptom of a deeper societal rot where fear, ignorance, and religious overreach masquerade as "protecting the children." When a play warning against moral panic falls victim to it, we're plunging into a regressive abyss where critical thinking is demonized. This incident highlights alarming authoritarian control hijacking public education, proving unchecked religious influence and narcissistic entitlement threaten artistic expression and crucial historical lessons.

The Crisis of Being   James Filler is a philosopher, theologian, and leading voice in metaphysics and post-Cartesian thought, specializing in substance ontology, the meaning crisis, and relational models of reason. With a PhD in philosophy and expertise in ancient and contemporary ontology, Filler is the author of Heidegger, Neoplatonism, and the History of Being Relation as Ontological Ground and Substance Ontology and the Crisis of Reason. His work traces the genealogical roots of modern nihilism and skepticism while advancing a powerful case for relationality, participation, and non-discursive forms of knowing. As a teacher and scholar, he brings clarity and compassion to some of the most pressing philosophical and spiritual questions of our time.

Together, they trace a powerful philosophical arc from ancient substance ontology to today's widespread nihilism, skepticism, and isolation. James reveals how centuries of prioritizing “being” over “relation” have led to an inward collapse of reason, relationality, and the self. John and James unpack how non-discursive knowing, theosis, and participatory truth can restore wholeness beyond representational models of mind. They explore the role of liturgy, love, and vertical epistemology as practices that reawaken our connection to what is most real. This Lectern is a profound inquiry into what it means to become truly human—and how we might recover the sacred not through belief, but through transformation.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast Ryan reflects on a conversation with yoga retreat attendees struggling to understand or experience what is "sacred." This sparks a broader exploration of how modern life—especially overthinking, distractions, and unresolved inner conflicts—prevents many from recognizing sacredness in daily life. Key Points: Invitation to Reflect: Listeners are asked to consider what "sacred" means to them personally—how it feels, and what blocks them from experiencing it. Modern Distractions & Impurities: Our technology-saturated, overly scheduled lives (including spiritual "doom scrolling") clutter the mind, making sacred experiences harder to access. Overthinking as a Barrier: Many overthink spiritual matters to the point of paralysis. Seeking intellectual proof or control keeps us from directly experiencing the sacred, which transcends logic. Importance of Simplicity & Stillness: Like in meditation, we must learn to let go of distractions to become receptive. Sacredness arises not through analysis, but through presence and quiet attention. Trust in Practice Over Proof: Spiritual traditions exist because they offer tested pathways to sacred experience. Rather than demanding proof (e.g., levitating yogis), one must engage the process sincerely and consistently. Skepticism vs. Surrender: While questioning is natural, endlessly asking “why” is a trap. Faith, curiosity, and practice are needed to move past doubt into lived experience. Sacredness in Relationship & Practice: True presence—whether with a child, an instrument, or in meditation—creates sacred moments. It's not about doing more, but about being more present. Mystics Weren't Lazy: Saints and mystics across traditions achieved spiritual insight through rigorous and consistent practice, not casual dabbling. Realization is Beyond the Mind: True spiritual awakening can't be fully described or proven intellectually. It must be experienced directly. Curiosity Over Control: Rather than trying to control or understand everything, approach the spiritual path with wonder, awe, and dedication. Final Message: To experience the sacred, stop overthinking. Trust a well-worn path, stay curious, be present, and practice sincerely over time. Sacredness is found not through intellectual mastery, but through lived, open-hearted experience. -

The bar exam is in a state of flux. A new "NexGen" test is about to debut, while several states now offer licenses to attorneys who haven't taken the exam at all. These bar exam alternatives, many of which originated as emergency pandemic measures, are proving successful in smaller states, like South Dakota and New Hampshire, and even some larger ones, like Arizona and Oregon. But a nationwide bar exam alternative is not on the horizon, and large corporate firms have shown little willingness to hire attorneys licensed through these alternative programs, according to Bloomberg Law reporter Maia Spoto. Maia spoke to Jessie Kamens, the host of our On The Merits podcast, about how these programs work and why some advocates say we need to finally ditch the grueling, multi-day test. Maia also gets into what's happening in California, where the development of a new exam went disastrously wrong. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

Dr. Trevor Lohman is an assistant professor and researcher into the neuroscience of aging. He joins us in this episode to give us a crash course on the physical functions of the brain, and how current science still has no good explanation for the phenomena of consciousness. We discuss the history of quantum physics experiments into the "double slit" problem and the collapse of the wave function, and how consciousness seems to be fundamental to how the universe works.   If you are interested and want to know more, you can get Trevor's book, "God's Eye View" here: https://a.co/d/fvMPyJ9   Hemispheric Press Substack:  https://hemisphericpress.substack.com/BOTS    Happy Fools Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/happy-fools/id1782845057   Thank you, hope you enjoy this epsiode!     Join our Patreon, support the show, get extra content and early access! https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent   Support the show with a paypal donation: https://paypal.me/snakebros       Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest 01:36 Exploring Consciousness and Neuroscience 05:12 Near-Death Experiences and Consciousness 07:06 AI and Consciousness: A Complex Debate 13:41 The Double Slit Experiment: Understanding Reality 22:36 The Nature of Matter and Consciousness 28:12 Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness 34:54 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 36:09 Cultural Shifts in Science and Skepticism 41:44 Understanding Consciousness Through Neuroscience 56:41 The Complexity of Consciousness and Its Mechanisms 01:10:11 The Complexity of Consciousness 01:18:19 AI: Magic or Complexity? 01:25:44 Theories of Consciousness: Transmission vs. Production 01:32:09 Transducers and the Nature of Perception 01:45:25 The Nature of Light and Consciousness 01:47:52 Near-Death Experiences and Consciousness Transduction 01:49:50 Anesthesia and Consciousness: The Microtubule Connection 01:55:36 Microtubules: The Mechanism Behind Consciousness? 02:01:42 Quantum Effects and Consciousness 02:09:51 The Role of Microtubules in Light Emission and Consciousness 02:12:37 Exploring Spirituality and Science 02:17:10 Community and Collaboration in Scientific Inquiry

A quick shout out, this being the modern equivalent of a tip of the hat to Richard, who has made a significant donation to help me host this series. I was flabbergasted when receiving the Paypal payment. We have communicated over the years so this is just to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart Richard. When I'm next in Ireland, I promise to buy you a couple of rounds of St James' Blessing. What's this? A cacophony of digging? Must be significant. The date is somewhere in March 1867. A month after young Erasmus Jacobs had found an interesting stone near Hopetown near the Free State Border, but also near the newly formed Transvaal and Griqualand. The world of diamonds swirls with myth and legend, fiction, fact. Diamonds glitter with dangerous promise — alluring but transient in their fortunes, hard as truth, and just as capable of cutting those who reach for them unprepared. The rock that was found at Hopetown was placed on the table of the Cape Assembly shortly thereafter by Sir Richard Southey, the Colonial Secretary with the words “Gentlemen, this is the rock on which the future success of South Africa will be built…” Before Southey's dramatic flourish, the initial response from officialdom was disbelief. For as long as anyone could remember, and this went all the way back to the VOC in 1660s, there had been rumours of great mineral treasure in the north. A kind of disinformation campaign was launched by Jan van Riebeeck because from the time of his arrival he expressed belief in the possibility of a successful search for the traditional golden realm of Monomotapa. It was imperative to drum up more cash for the new tavern of the seas, and he was trying to convince the VOC of the exaggerated value of their new outpost. And women in South Africa were taking notice, which probably from a 21st Century point of view appears somewhat unlikely. Mary Elizabeth Barber had an important role to play in South Africa's geological science. The year 1867 was characterised by drought, and a severe depression made worse by reports that the completion of the Suez Canal would ruin all trade with the Cape. So it wasn't a moment too soon, so to speak, that Diamonds were discovered. Nearly two hundred years had passed since van Der Stel's memorable expedition across what he called de Groote Rivier, the Gariep, the Orange. IT was on the Orange River, sixty kilometres above its junction with the Vaal River, that a village sprang up. Hopetown. By all reports a thriving little settlement, with a number of farms dotted along the river banks nearby. The Koranna and the Griqua lived nearby, at the towns of Pniel and Hebron. Switch to 1867. Picture the scene, sheep and goats, Erasmus Jacobs were doing what Boer boys did, he was roaming the veld, playing on the edge of the river. Here were garnets with their rich carmine flush, the fainter rose of the carnelian, the bronze of jasper, the thick cream of chalcedony, agates of motley hues, rock crystals shining in the light like beckoning stars. Lesser stones, not diamonds, nor valuable gems. From one of these multi-coloured beds Erasmus and his siblings filled their pockets with stones thinking they could play a game of ducks and drakes. For the uninitiated town based gaslight grazer, ducks and drakes is the game of skimming stones. Whomever skims the stone the furthest or with the most hops, wins. Simple game, but when you have no toys, stones are your friends. Luckily for the future of South Africa, Erasmus decided against skimming the diamond, and took it home. There it joined a pile of other shining stones he'd collected like a magpie. It was odd, this stone, and his widowed mother Mrs Jacobs mentioned it to a neighbour, the farmer Meneer Schalk van Niekerk.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Marie Claire Bourque, a psychiatrist, executive coach, and mental performance consultant to elite athletes, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. Together, they dive into the world of high performance under pressure, uncovering what medicine can learn from the mental training of professional athletes.Dr. Bourque shares her insights on the importance of presence, focus, and resetting under stress—skills commonly built into the toolkit of elite performers but often neglected in the medical field. She discusses practical strategies like meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, and values-based living, emphasizing that these are trainable skills, not innate talents. Meditation, Dr. Bourque explains, isn't about getting good at meditating—it's about getting good at life, particularly in moments when it matters most.The conversation moves through the parallels between elite sports and the demands of medicine, exploring how even top professionals need to recognize when mental health support or even medication is necessary to maintain well-being and performance. Dr. Bourque candidly addresses the stigma around mental health and medication, both in sports and medicine, and the risks of trying to "white-knuckle" through life on hard mode.Listeners will come away with actionable advice on sleep, movement, nutrition, and discovering one's true values. Dr. Bourque's approach highlights the need to care for mental fitness just as intentionally as physical health, whether you're a surgeon, an athlete, or just navigating daily stress.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in resilience, focus, and living with purpose—reminding us that training our minds is just as vital as training our bodies, and life doesn't have to be lived on hard mode.Episode HighlightsMeditation Enhances Daily Living — Meditation isn't just for calm; it helps you navigate real-life challenges by keeping you grounded in the present.Reset With Breathwork —Conscious diaphragmatic breathing helps you regain composure and focus, especially when distractions or stress threaten performance.Value-Based Living Drives Decisions — Identifying and living by your true values leads to greater fulfillment and resilience, rather than societal or external expectations.Sleep is Foundational Health — Adequate, restorative sleep is a non-negotiable for optimal performance, mental clarity, and emotional regulation.Movement Prevents Mental Illness —Regular, moderate-intensity exercise (150 minutes weekly) significantly lowers risk of depression and anxiety, supporting overall well-being.Substance Use Isn't a Solution —Self-medicating, especially with alcohol or cannabis, is common but ultimately harms performance, resilience, and long-term health.Purpose Motivates and Sustains Us — A clear sense of purpose, even if small, is essential for satisfaction and sustained motivation in day-to-day life.You Don't Have to Suffer — Life doesn't have to be lived on “hard mode”—seeking support and building skills makes it easier and more fulfilling.Episode Timestamps5:58 — Training Focus: Athletes vs. Doctors9:05 — Dedicated Daily Self-Improvement Practice11:50 — Mastering Presence through Meditation14:10 — Understanding Apologies and Distractions18:30 — Supporting Young Athletes' Mental Health23:05 — Athletes' Struggles with Substance Abuse26:45 — Reducing Self-Medication Through Therapy27:57 — Youth Misconceptions About Cannabis32:55 — Living by True Personal Values36:42 — Importance of Values in Decision-Making39:42 — Actionable Self-Improvement Tips41:42 — Escaping Life's Hard ModeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

There exists a popular myth among skeptics and non-believers that Jesus did not really rise from the dead. What may have happened, they suggest, is that Peter and/or Paul experienced some kind of hallucination or vision of Jesus after His death. Our guest again this week on the Profile, resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas, argues however, that in order for this hypothesis even to get off the ground, the skeptic must first establish the truth of a purely naturalistic worldview, which, Gary believes, cannot be done. Naturalistic refutations of Jesus' resurrection fail to provide any significant challenge to the narratives found in the four Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Dr. Gary Habermas has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. His extensive list of publications and debates provides a thorough account of the current state of the issue. He has also contributed more than 60 chapters or articles to additional books, and over 100 articles and reviews in journals and other publications. In recent years, he has been a visiting or adjunct professor at about 15 different graduate schools and seminaries in the United States and abroad. Dr. Habermas is a Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy. He is married to Eileen and they have seven children and 11 grandchildren. https://www.liberty.edu/divinity/seminary/faculty/gary-habermas/Gary's Books  (2024), On the Resurrection: Refutations, Vol 2 of 4, Broadman & Holman, Academic, ISBN: 978-1-0877-7862-4, https://www.amazon.com/on-the-resurrection-volume-2/dp/108777862X Free Profiles from Watchman Fellowship!  Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Bart Ehrman by Dr. Rhyne Putman: watchman.org/Ehrman Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Atheism by Dr. Robert M.

Josh kicks things off by noting that listeners had asked for this topic, and he's eager to unpack it. They trace the major revival movements in American history, starting with the First Great Awakening around 300 years ago, led by Jonathan Edwards. They walk through the Second Great Awakening with Charles Finney and his intercessor Nash, and the revivals led by D.L. Moody and Billy Graham, all of which were marked by repentance and spiritual renewal. They land on the 1970s Jesus Revolution, which they say might be the last nationwide revival—exactly 50 years ago. Josh and Jason suggest this 50-year pattern may signal another wave is coming. While not predicting anything specific, they urge listeners to stay spiritually alert and ready. They share powerful stories, like two elderly sisters who prayed revival into their community during the Hebrides Revival—where even ships passing by felt the weight of God's presence. Jason emphasizes the need to be structurally and spiritually prepared for revival, drawing from Jesus' teaching about counting the cost before building. Both hosts agree: revival won't come without prayer, repentance, fasting, and a willingness to sacrifice. They also stress that revival must lead to disciple-making—not just emotional experiences, but long-term transformation. True revival, they argue, involves everyone, not just a few leaders. The episode ends with a challenge: join the growing movement of prayer and fasting through Discipleship.org and prepare your heart and community for what God might do next.

This week's conversation with filmmaker Stephen Berkley left me in awe. His documentary Life with Ghosts reveals how his mother's crippling grief transformed when she began communicating with spirits. We explore automatic writing, induced after-death communication therapy (IADC), and why therapists MUST listen to clients' spiritual experiences. As a psychologist and medium, I'm passionate about bridging science and spirituality—especially for those drowning in loss. If you've ever felt a loved one's presence or questioned the afterlife, this episode is your validation. Plus: I'm launching a course for clinicians on spiritually informed therapy!
