Leviticus 20 speaks of penalties for depraved practices. I will quote brother Martin's book, page 220 – “Leviticus 20 takes up the heathen practices condemned in chapter 18, and attaches the penalties to be applied for those guilty of such depravities. It is curious that chapter 20 does not immediately follow chapter 18. One suggestion is that chapter 19, with its “royal law”, comes between to demonstrate “the more excitement way” to avoid such unholy behaviour.” The abominable practices with exhortations to avoid them. Verses 1-5 offering children unto Molech Verses 6, 27 people with familiar spirits and wizards Verses 7-8 exhortation to manifest God's holiness Verse 9 dishonouring parents Verse 10 adultery Verse 11 affair with father's wife Verse 12 affair with daughter-in-law Verse 13 homosexuality Verse 14 bigamy within the same family Verse 15 sexual depravity with animals (Men) Verse 16 sexual depravity with animals (Women) Verse 17 incest Verse 18 intimacy during menstrual period Verses 19-21 illicit relations with close relatives Verses 22-24 exhortations to reject practices of the Canaanites We conclude our comments on Psalm 119. And we must remember that this was written principally for the Messiah – our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 15 verses 4-5). It was written for his sake and to guide him, in the first place. We see his mind, his attitudes in every verse. We follow him who was the Lamb of God, being led by his Father (the Great Shepherd of Israel Psalm 80). Stanzas 17-22 and alphabet letters 17-22 are provided for our contemplation. Just a few verses for us to slowly read aloud; and pause and ponder – verses 129-132 verses 137-140 Verse 142; verses 145-149 Verses 159-160 verses 163-166 and Verses 174-176. Reflect upon these and think about the incomparable Christ Jesus. Try to apply these principles in your own life. Verse 176 is curious and some have said that it is not Messianic. But it tells us Messiah's mind. He is teaching us that without the guiding Word of His Father he too would have failed to walk the path chosen for him. Luke 3 begins with all the supposed somebodies of the age. To none of them does Yahweh reveal Himself but to a nobody in the wilderness. Yet what a message was the LORD's word. It declares the insignificance of human flesh. By contrast it announces that the transforming power inherent in God's Word to cause weak, frail and dependent humans to acknowledgment their sinfulness by repenting and aligning themselves in baptism with the forgiveness offered to them on that condition. John's message came from Isaiah 40 verses1-8, see Peter's comments in 1 Peter 1 verses 17-25. All those who were considered as the baser classes of society responded to the message of John the Baptist. The self important stood self condemned by their rejection of God's offer. Jesus, likewise, acknowledges that there is nothing in human nature worthy of perpetuating. Our Lord, would through his perfect life, submit in obedience to death; and being raised to immortality and by this he would declare God's righteousness. So Jesus submits to baptism and asks the same of all disciples. Our Lord Jesus' genealogy is provided back to Adam, and hence to God also. He is not only Son of Man through his mother whose genealogy is here given through Nathan, David's son – but just as vital Jesus is the Son of God. And it is for this reason our Lord was enabled to overcome sin: see Hebrews 1.

Leviticus 17 describes the significance of the blood in the sacrificial laws. We have already noted that Hebrews 9 verse 22 tells us that forgiveness of sins required the shedding of blood. Not that physical blood has any atoning qualities. It was symbolic of life. All life belongs to God. The blood upon the altar was from a flawless animal. And that spoke of the voluntary offering of our Lord Jesus Christ – who was morally perfect (the offering of the life of the only sinless man). And through that offering we have redemption in his blood (Ephesians 1 verse 7). Verses 1-9 tell us that there was no animal sacrifice made during the wilderness journey. Verses 10-12 speak of the positive aspects of the sacrificial blood. These verses reinforce that the LORD owns all life. And the acceptance of the sanctity of life was to be observed by the Israelites on pain of death for violating this (Genesis 9 verses 3-6). Verses 13-16 refer to the negative significance of the blood. All manner of ceremonially clean animals could be eaten. But the blood was not to be eaten. It was to be poured onto the earth; or in the case of an offering upon the altar (earlier chapters in the sacrificial code in Leviticus talk of this). The killing of an animal still rendered the hunter “impure”. Leviticus chapters 18-20 tell of moral laws for the LORD's people. We have already seen how the Ten Commandments were founded on the basis that Yahweh was their God; and that He had brought them out of Egypt from the house of slavery. The same moral foundation underpins the moral code of the Israelites – Leviticus 18 verses 1, 30, 19 versess 2-3, 18. That verse in Leviticus 19:18, “Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself” is the second of the two great commandments (see Matthew 22 verses 36-40). The second and third pillars for the observing of a holy life were: don't behave as the Egyptians did; nor be like the Canaanites; whom, says the Almighty, will be vomited out of the land because of their perversions. Verses 1-5 through of Leviticus 18 give us our Sovereign's moral reasons for the following commandments. Verses 6-23 forbid the practice of any of the sexual perversions described. Verses 24-30 tell us that Yahweh's covenant people must live lives that are upright and distinctly different from the inhabitants of Canaan. Stanzas 6-10 of Psalm 119 cover the Hebrew letters 6-10. These are contained in verses 41-80. This form of poetry is referred to as an acrostic. Just a few verses from these segments for us to meditate on. Slowly read aloud verses 41-44, verses 49-50, verses 57-59, verses 66-68, and verse 72. Meditate on the way in which these verses may direct the course of your life- just as they were the motivating force of our Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world. In Luke 1 the beloved doctor (not an Apostle) gives his account. Luke sets out in order of happening of events in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. The written account is to Theophilus – a name meaning ‘a lover of God'. Some have suggested that Theophilus was a high ranking Roman official. Whether this is true or not, the book is addressed to us, as lovers of God. Verses 5-18 tell of Zacharias, the priest and his temple service. Those verses also inform us that the aged priest and barren wife, Elizabeth, had no children. The angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias and foretells him of the birth and mission of John the Baptist – the son that was to be miraculously born to this old man and his barren wife. Because Zacharias doubted the angel's words he was struck dumb till the day of John's birth. Note John's mission was said to be the fulfilment of Malachi 4:5-6. The angel Gabriel was next sent to the wonderful Mary. This faithful young woman had been chosen by Yahweh to be the mother of His Son. This birth too was to be brought about by an even greater miracle. Read the angel's words aloud in verses 30-33 – ponder the import. Mary accepts the message and as the handmaid of the LORD she says that she will humbly comply. Mary's cousin Elizabeth, who was herself 6 months pregnant, is visited by Mary and together these two faithful women praise and exalt God; and spiritually encourage each other. Mary's song of praise giving is recorded in verses 46-55. Compare Mary's song and words of rejoicing with Hannah's song told to us in 1 Samuel 2 verses 1-10. John is born and named. Then his father Zacharias' tongue is loosed. Consider his remarkable prophecy of the work of the two greatest men ever born. The record brings together a significant number of Old Testament scriptures. Read these words in verses 68-79 and ponder the greatest epoch that was to emerge in the ministries of these two servants of the Almighty in all time.

This week's episode is a scriptural reading from the Spanda-kārikā, or the Stanzas on Divine Pulsation, by the great 9th-century tantrik master Kallaṭa from Kashmir. The Spanda-kārikā is a foundational text of Kashmir Shaivism or nondual Shaiva Tantra, and it explores the dynamic nature of consciousness and how we can access it to live an awakened and liberated life. This episode presents a straightforward translation of the scripture, allowing the teachings to simmer in you on a deeper level beyond the mental or intellectual. For further insight, commentary on the text is available across three blog posts: 'First Flow,' 'Second Flow,' and 'Third Flow.'Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.

Marjorie Woollacott is an Emeritus Professor of Human Physiology and member of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. She is Research Director for the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences (AAPS). Marjorie has published more than 200 scientific articles and written or co-edited eight books. Our conversation centres around her paper, co-authored with scholar Ben Williams, Conceptual Cognition and Awakening: Insights From Non-dual S ́Aivism and Neuroscience. In this lucid synthesis, the pair explore the neural correlations between language, the sense of self, and expanded states of awareness — and how that relates to 10th century Kashmir philosopher Utpaladeva's Stanzas on the Recognition of Shiva. Marjorie shares how the brain's filtering system limits awareness, citing fascinating studies from near death experiences, meditation, and psychedelic research. Other topics include Extra-Sensory Perception and quantum entanglement, free will, and how brain activity supports a post-material worldview, where consciousness, not matter, is primary.

The final messianic prophecy of the resurrection of Messiah is found in the fourth Servant Song of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 52:13-53:12; see also 42:1-4; 49:1-7; 50:1-11).The prophecy of Isaiah is divided into 5 stanzas of 3 verses each (52:13-15; 53:1-3; 53:4-6; 53:7-9; 53:10-12). In the first and last stanzas God is speaking of the exaltation of the Servant. In the three stanzas between the first and last, the nation of Israel is speaking, confessing her sin of rejecting Messiah when he came precisely because they did not recognize that, in his incarnate state they failed to see him as he truly is, the exalted Servant of the Lord.YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/kSqtU8ukqP0

This week we're unlocking another episode of our bonus series, The Corkboard Bizarre and taking a look at the super spooky totally real and definitely not made up text at the core of Theosophy, the Stanzas of Dzyan. Referenced throughout Helena Blavatsky's magnum opus The Secret Doctrine, the Stanzas of Dzyan is allegedly the real, actual, secrets of how the universe was formed and functions. As a literary device, it's pretty cool in theory. But is it actually the whole truth and nothing but the truth? You can be the judge of that. At the very least, Theosophy remains just about the weirdest thing we've ever encountered.

By Brakhage Volume Two Program 4 is totally dedicated to Stan Brakhage's 1989-90 four film cycle Visions in Meditation. Inspired by Gertrude Stein's Stanzas in Meditation, the films take us on a journey into a meditative state, working better as a complete work than as four individual pieces. This is the only complete cycle of Brakhage's work in the Criterion sets, despite other films drawn from cycles being included in Volume Two.

The Stanzas Of Dzyan - H.P. Blavatsky - Occult and Esoteric Audiobook with Text Reference. The Book of Dzyan (comprising the Stanzas of Dzyan) is a reputedly ancient text of Tibetan origin. The Stanzas formed the basis for The Secret Doctrine (1888), one of the foundational works of the theosophical movement, by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Madame Blavatsky claimed to have seen a manuscript of the Book of Dzyan while studying esoteric lore in Tibet. She claimed this and other ancient manuscripts were safeguarded from profane eyes by the initiates of an Occult Brotherhood. The work had originally, according to Blavatsky, been written in the sacred language of Senzar.

When people talk about freedom, they usually speak about the freedom to be a slave to their own impulses. The million year tyrant of our biology has kept us entangled in its own survival and reproduction motives, using us as pawns in a much larger game that we cannot win. Every now and then we wake up to this reality and ask if there are other motives by which we might live our lives, motives more meaningful and fulfilling than simply the dressed-up drives of sex and survival?00:00:00 What is the Purpose of Life?00:04:12 The Test of Truth (Don't Believe A Word I Say!)00:06:15 What Do People Commonly Want Out of Practicing Yoga?00:12:15 What Does A Mature Spiritual Desire Look Like?00:15:05 What does "Dukkha" (Suffering) really mean?00:17:59 The Danger of Immature Spiritual Practice (The Dragon of Biology)00:28:40 Why Don't Pleasures Satisfy Us?

In this episode we speak with return guest Dr. Philipp Maas about the ancient school of Sāṅkhya—which he describes as India's philosophy par excellence for its wide and enduring influence on Indian culture. Giving us a taste of his upcoming course: YS 204 | The Sāṅkhyakārikā: Stanzas on All-Embracing Insight,  Maas discusses Sāṅkhya‘s relationship with the Yoga of Patañjali, and dives into the Kārikā—the oldest surviving text of the tradition. We discuss what little we know about the work's author Īśvarakṛṣṇa, its roots in the lost treatise, the ancient Śaṣṭitantra, and much more. Speaker BioPhilipp Maas is currently a research associate at the Institute for Indology and Central Asian Studies, University of Leipzig in Germany, where he works on a digital critical edition of the Nyāyabhāṣya, a Sanskrit work on spiritual liberation through proper reasoning. Previously he had served as an assistant professor and postdoc researcher at the Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at the University of Vienna, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the University of Bonn Germany.He received his M.A. (1997) and Dr. phil. (2004) degrees from the University of Bonn, where he had completed studies in Indology, Comparative Religious Studies, Tibetology and Philosophy. His first book (originally his PhD thesis) is the first critical edition of the first chapter (Samādhipāda) of the Pātañjala Yogaśāstra, i.e. the Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali together with the commentary called Yoga Bhāṣya. He has published extensively on classical Yoga and Sāṅkhya philosophy and meditation, Āyurveda, the relationship of Pātañjalayoga to Buddhism as well as on the textual tradition of the Pātañjalayogaśāstra. He is a member of the “Historical Sourcebooks on Classical Indian Thought” project, convened by Prof. Sheldon Pollock, to which he contributes with a monograph on the development of Yoga-related ideas in pre-modern South Asian intellectual history.  LinksYS 204 | The Sāṅkhyakārikā: Stanzas on All-Embracing Insighthttps://uni-leipzig.academia.edu/PhilippMaas
