Podcasts about to wait

We're going to talk about issues related to our moods, our ideas, emotions, etc. The Esoteric Path is narrow, constricted, and difficult. We normally live in a world of sensory experiences, which is the Physical World. Through external sensory perceptions, we form our concepts of content, with which we reason. Reasoning and the Sensory Perceptions Thus, the reasoning we normally use is based solely on sensory assemblies. Given that these assemblies are its foundation, it is obvious that this type of reasoning is conditioned precisely by them. Reason, therefore, is subjective and hypothetical from every point of view, since it is based on the information our senses provide. And so, if we form concepts of content from these sensory perceptions, and then distribute these concepts in one way or another, they give us ordinary, formal logical reasoning. Do you really believe that this type of reasoning (based solely on external sensory perceptions) could allow us to verify reality? If the concepts of content have been developed precisely from the data provided by our physical senses, it is obvious that such concepts of content cannot transcend the mystical-sensory realm. We will now explain why ordinary reasoning is called “subjective reasoning.” What could Subjective Reasoning possibly know about Reality, about Truth, about God, about life beyond the grave, about what exists beyond the world of the senses, about what lies beyond death? Obviously, this reasoning, based solely on content concepts developed from the data provided by our physical senses, can only operate within its own limitations. It can only be processed within the realm of the mystical-sensory; it could never transcend the concepts of content through which it was formed. So, how can we reach the EXPERIENCE OF REALITY and TRUTH? There are various techniques in MEDITATION, etc., but above all, it requires possessing what is called “Faith.” Faith and Meditation lead us to Enlightenment Orthodox dogma teaches that “faith is belief in what we do not see.” This kind of Orthodox faith is not authentic faith. Faith, in itself, is a solar power. But how do we attain such power? Therein lies the problem… Is it possible to attain Faith? The Physical Senses cannot provide it; they will provide us with data with which (I repeat) we will develop our concepts of content, which are so fundamental to reasoning, up to a point! But that Solar-type Faith, the one that goes beyond simple Subjective Reasoning, the one that has such extraordinary power as to move mountains, the one that combined with Meditation leads us to Enlightenment, is not possible to obtain with the simple reports that the Physical Senses give us. Some ask for faith, they cry out for faith. It's good to pray, but as the saying goes, “Pray to God, but keep hammering away”… So, what to do? Truly, to attain faith, above all, you have to create it; faith is not something that can be achieved empirically. I repeat: YOU HAVE TO CREATE IT. And how is it created? Through STUDY and EXPERIENCE. It is obvious that through study and Direct Experience, by means of the technique of Meditation, we will come to COMPREHEND, and from that Comprehension comes, spontaneously, that which is called “Faith.” Comprehension, in itself, does not belong to the Mind; it is an exclusive property of the THIRD LOGOS, of LORD SHIVA, of BINAH (the Great Sephiroth, one of the Three Supreme Sephiroth), of the Holy Spirit… If we are experiencing through meditation, if we are studying something—some transcendental subject—if we strive to comprehend it, it is obvious that the first thing we will have is the mystical experience (as a result of study and meditation); then comes comprehension, that spark of light given to us by the Third Logos. He comes to our aid to give us comprehension, and from such comprehension comes faith. Comprehension (I repeat, so that I am clearly understood) is based on the Third Logos, and from this comprehension comes Faith. Therefore, if Comprehension is based on the Third Logos and from this comprehension comes Faith, then obviously the very root of Faith is in the Third Logos, that is, in the Holy Spirit. The many Degrees on the Path of Initiation But in acquiring faith, there are degrees and degrees, scales and scales, systems and systems. Obviously, my dear brothers, when I refer to “systems and systems,” I am referring to hierarchical matters: Solar Systems, Worlds, Universes, Atomic Systems, etc. As for the practical means or system for achieving faith, it is none other than the one I have already mentioned… I emphasize the idea that there are degrees and degrees, because knowledge is multiple, multifaceted. For example: Suppose we are ignorant of the Law of Eternal Return; we are informed, but we know nothing. What should we do? How can we come to have faith in this Law? We must first study the Doctrine of the Eternal Return of all things. Through intellectual understanding, we will come to know that the stars return to their starting point after many years; that the atoms within the molecule always return to their original starting point; that the Sun has an elliptical orbit, returning south and then north each year… Through this understanding, we will be able to know that days and nights, seasons, and ages return… We will also learn, through this information, that the Law of Eternal Return allows us to come back, to be reborn, to have a new body after we have lost the one we have. That much is obvious, but that's where it ends! We need something more: We need to REMEMBER OUR PAST LIVES, that's obvious. As long as we don't have the memory of our previous lives, we can't say we know, no! We'll have the theory accumulated in the mind, but that's not true KNOWLEDGE. So, what should we do? First of all, we need to investigate; there are systems for remembering past lives. Gautama, the Buddha, taught the method of RETROSPECTION, and it is wonderful. But how could we come to have faith, for example, in the method taught by Gautama the Buddha? There is only one way. How? First, study; second, practice. From study and practice comes understanding; then, as a result, faith arises; and with faith, we will successfully practice the retrospective exercise. The Practice The exercise is easy and simple: Begin lying in bed, with your body relaxed. You must remember, concentrate on the last events of the day, the ones before that, the ones before that; and thus, in retrospect, recall, relive all the incidents of the day. We will then proceed with the incidents of the previous day, also in retrospect. Then we will continue trying to remember what we did on the day before last; and so, with that process, we will try to remember the last 15 days of our life, the penultimate 15 days, everything we did in the past month and the month before last, and what we did in a year and in 10 and in 20 years. We will strive to remember all the events of life, always in retrospect. When we reach the first five years of childhood, the problem arises: How can we remember the events of our lives when we were four, three, two, one years old? How? We have no choice but to COMBINE MEDITATION WITH SLEEP: In moments when we feel predisposed to sleep, we will practice the exercise, trying to meticulously recall all the incidents of our lives when we were four, three, two, one… The memories will emerge in flashes, like lightning, like bursts of light, etc… Those first flashes (memories of early childhood) resulting, first, from having known the practice, the study; second, from having practiced the retrospective exercise, those memories or those flashes, those visions, let's say, of a lightning-like type, will give us Faith in the exercise (a Solar-type Faith), and the more we remember the occurrences of early childhood, the more Faith will increase. And when we have remembered our entire life, up to the very moment of birth, then we can make the leap to the last moment (to the last moment of the previous life). If we can remember it, if we can picture ourselves surrounded by our family in our final moments, then our faith will be rekindled, it will be even stronger. We will say: “What an extraordinary exercise, I am happy with this practice!” And as we continue our retrospective exercise, we will recall the final years of our past existence, the penultimate years, the years before the penultimate, our youth, our adolescence, our childhood, the moment we were born in our past existence. When we achieve this, we will possess an unwavering, solar-type Faith, unshakeable. Someone might come and tell us that “this exercise is useless,” and we would laugh at them. The greatest reasoner might come and try to destroy us, and we would laugh at them (we would be sustained by Faith, the product of STUDY and EXPERIENCE). Then we would say, “I know the Law of the Eternal Return of all things,” but we would no longer say it in a merely empirical, intellectual, or reasoned way; rather, we would speak it with firsthand knowledge. We could say, “I have returned, and here I am!”; and we would speak it with such certainty that we would move many. Thus, we would have acquired Faith through the retrospective exercise. This procedure, taught by Gautama Buddha Shakyamuni, allows us to remember all our previous existences; it is a marvelous exercise. But it is one thing for you to hear a statement, an explanation, and another thing entirely to put it into practice. When you hear the discourse on such an exercise, you receive INFORMATION; you are, in fact, STUDYING. But when you practice, you are PRACTICING; and from study and practice comes comprehension; and as a result of comprehension, Faith. This comprehension is given to us by the Third Logos; and it is Faith, the definitive result of experience, verification, and comprehension. So, brothers, there is no other way to have Faith. But if you manage to develop, for example, Faith in retrospect, Faith in the Law of the Eternal Return of all things (based on study, experience, and comprehension), it does not mean, for that reason, that you have, for example, COMPLETE FAITH in other matters, such as the existence of Atlantis. You may have heard that Atlantis existed, but you have no proof of it; you receive it as news, you may accept it, but you have no real proof of it. IMAGINATION and WILL So, to find out if Atlantis existed, you would first need to verify that information by studying where Atlantis was located. That it was in the Atlantic Ocean, fine! What physical evidence, what data is there, what are its legends, traditions, etc.? Once we have all that data, then we need to verify it. How will we verify it? Through the technique of meditation. We will have to lie down in our bed (preferably with our head facing North), our body completely relaxed, our eyes closed, at a moment when we feel predisposed to sleep, and we must concentrate intently on Atlantis, combining IMAGINATION and WILL in vibrant harmony. Let us remember that Imagination is feminine; it is worth mentioning that Will is masculine, and that in the combination of these two polarities lies the key to all Power. Therefore, we must not underestimate the Imagination; there is a very marked tendency to underestimate the Imagination. Some say: “Those are things of the Imagination, I accept them because…, or it's a thing of my Imagination,” that is, they do not know how to appreciate the value of the Imagination. Distinguish between INTENTIONAL IMAGINATION and MECHANICAL IMAGINATION. Intentional Imagination is the “TRANSLUCENT” that allows us to see the great realities of the Inner Worlds. Mechanical Imagination is FANTASY; it is formed from the detritus of memory. Let us, therefore, distinguish between IMAGINATION and FANTASY. To underestimate Imagination is absurd. Therefore, we must develop our imagination, cultivate it… If we concentrate properly (I repeat) on Atlantis, with relaxed bodies, vividly imagining the Atlantean continent; if we unite Will and Imagination in vibrant harmony (wanting to see Atlantis); if we practice daily, imagining it there in the Atlantic Ocean, seeing a group of marvelous islands, among them Poseidon's island with its seven solid gold gates, etc.; if we truly practice, what will happen? That one day, we will see Atlantis… Obviously, there are three phases in Initiatic Knowledge: 1. IMAGINATION 2. INSPIRATION 3. INTUITION Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition are the three obligatory paths of Initiation. We will vividly imagine the Atlantean Continent, just as it was there, situated in the ocean that bears its name (the walled cities, etc.) And our Will will be “TO WANT TO SEE”, and our Imagination will be TO WAIT, TO BE IN A RECEPTIVE STATE, to see what comes to the Imagination. One day, among many others, glimpses of Atlantis will begin to reach our imagination, and the images of that ancient continent will grow ever more vivid. We will see its inhabitants, its cities, and if we are persistent in this practice, the day will come when we will be able to see the Atlantean continent perfectly, in its entirety. These glimpses will give us faith, but that faith will increase when we move on to the second aspect, which is called “inspiration.” Being inspired, we will feel within ourselves what Atlantis was like; we will know of its life and its tragedies. A third level will lead us to INTUITION. And then, through Intuition, we will not only be able to see clairvoyantly and come to feel the vivid emotions of the people, etc., of the Atlantean Continent, but we will also be able to study, in its entirety, the life of that continent, of that humanity, in the very Sealed Archives of Nature, in the AKASHIC RECORDS. When that happens, we will have much more Faith. Then we see how Faith is susceptible to development. Someone can have faith in one thing and not in another. Whoever wants to have faith in everything will have to study deeply and experience, and then, as a result of study and direct experience, comes comprehension, and as a consequence or corollary of such comprehension, comes faith which (as I already told you) obviously has its roots in the same Third Logos. This is how faith develops: through study and experience… That's all I have to say. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Think you need 20% down to buy a home? Think again. In Step 5 of the 10-Step How to Buy a Home System, David Sidoni breaks down how much you really need to save — and how to start now, even if you're juggling debt.Saving for a home is the step that scares most renters away from ever getting started. In this episode, David busts the biggest myth in homebuying — that you need a massive 20% down payment — and replaces it with a realistic, data-backed plan to get you there faster.You'll learn the simple formula to estimate your goal: 8% of your home's price (5% down + 3% closing costs). That's the true, conservative number for most first-time buyers — and for many, it can be even less.David walks through how real buyers used creative strategies and pro guidance to shrink their out-of-pocket costs to as little as 1–5%. From zero-down loans to grants and seller credits, this episode shows how working with a Unicorn Team early opens doors you didn't know existed.You'll also hear real-world examples like Nick (Episode 399), who expected to need tens of thousands for closing — but ended up bringing only $4,000 to the table and even got money back.The key message: Don't wait until you think you've saved “enough.” Waiting costs you time, opportunity, and money. Learn how to plan smart, start early, and move forward with confidence.“If you think you need 20% down, you're already behind the truth. Most first-time buyers use 3.5% or 5%, and some even less. Waiting to ‘save enough' could cost you thousands.”HighlightsMyth Busted: Only 8–9% down is typical for first-time buyers — not 20%.Your Real Goal: Start with the 8% formula (5% down + 3% closing costs).Example: $400,000 home = $32,000 total savings target.Start Early: Work with a Unicorn Team before you hit your goal — they'll help you find options that reduce how much you need.Buyer Story: Nick (Ep. 399) bought with just $4K out-of-pocket — and got a refund check.Options That Work: 3.5% FHA loans, down payment assistance, seller credits, and even 0% down programs.Emotional Truth: Stop assuming homeownership is out of reach.

Ps 25 describes a man devoted to God & trusting in Him, but also aware of his faults & past sins, so his prayer is based on God's mercy, not his own performance. It's an Acrostic - each verse starts with the next letter of the alphabet, a literary device to add form & aid memorisation. Many elements fit with the time of Absalom's rebellion. His reference to the sins of his youth (v7) shows it's set later in his life. David is in distress, on the run from his enemies, but also aware his sins opened the door to this rebellion, as Nathan predicted in 2Sam 12:11. So, seeking divine deliverance from enemies is a major theme (v2,3,15,16,17,18,19). He acknowledges the root of his troubles was his own sins (when we sin, we turn our back to God & open the door to the curse). So, asking for God's mercy & forgiveness is also a major theme (v6,7,11.18). Thus, it's called a Penitential Psalm. So, he declares his faith that: “You are the God of my salvation” (v5) from both sin & enemies. Likewise, God saves us from our sins (the root problem) & rescues us from our enemies (the resulting curse). Part 1 is a PRAYER (v1-7). “Unto You, O LORD, I LIFT UP my SOUL” (v1). Like a windsurfer trying to catch the wind, we need to lift up our earthbound soul to God (Isa 40:31), seeking fellowship with Him. We need to put aside everything else and direct our soul toward God in faith, looking & waiting on Him, in submission, ready to receive His life. Then he prays for DELIVERANCE from his enemies (v2-3). Thus, he starts with his outer life. Even if we are at peace we should pray into our future: “Deliver us from evil” (Matt 6:13). “O my God, I TRUST (take refuge) in You; let me not be ASHAMED; let not my enemies triumph over me.” He bases his prayer on his covenant with God. By faith he draws near to God and lays hold of His protection. 'Ashamed' means to be disappointed, to trust in something that proves unworthy (Rom 5:5, 10:11, Isa 49:23). This is a prayer for public vindication thru victory, which will also result in God's glory. “Indeed, let no one who WAITS on You be ASHAMED” (v3a), or better: “no one who WAITS on You (in faith) will be ASHAMED” (v3a). He is confident of this fact. To WAIT is to actively look to God & wait for His instructions, ready to obey, like a waiter. It's an attitude of submission to God's timing, leadership & wisdom, rather than rushing ahead in the flesh. This is how he responded to Absalom's rebellion. “Let those be ASHAMED, who deal treacherously without cause” (v3b). This describes his enemies who followed Absalom in his lies & treachery. Then he moves from praying for his outward life to his inner life by first praying for GUIDANCE (v4-5), for he understood outward victory & good circumstances require walking with God, as he did at the time of Absalom's rebellion (prayer is superficial if all we pray for is our outer life): “Show me Your WAYS, O Lord; teach me Your PATHS” (v4). God's WAYS are love, righteousness, service, integrity, faith, and His PATHS include their practical application in our lives. Receiving His guidance is not enough, for he also knows he needs God to lead him step by step along His path: “LEAD me in Your truth and TEACH me, for You are the God of my salvation (from my sin & enemies). On You I WAIT all the day (patience in waiting, his settled attitude)” (v5). Guidance is part of our personal walk with God. It's of the heart, not mechanical obeying of rules, a lifestyle of waiting & obeying. Then he prays for MERCY: “REMEMBER, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses (chesed), for they are from of old (eternity)” (v6). To remember is to bring certain thoughts to the forefront of one's mind as a basis for our attitude & actions. It is used as a covenant word, as in remembering our covenant with God (1Cor 11:24-25), and God remembering us in His covenant love (Lk 23:42). He grounds His prayer on divine mercy, not justice (Ex 34:6). “Do NOT REMEMBER the sins of my youth (Bathsheba), nor my transgressions; according to Your MERCY REMEMBER me, for Your GOODNESS' sake, O Lord” (v7). "Don't let your attitude & actions toward me be based on my sins, but on your covenant love for me. Don't just forgive my sins, forget them." He knows he's forgiven (2Sam 12:13, Ps 32, 51), but his troubles reminded him of his past sins, that led to this situation, causing him to turn to God in humility and reaffirm before God his full repentance, and in faith plead for & claim God's covenant promises of forgiveness (MERCY) & grace (GOODNESS) to overcome the effect of those sins. This was also needed as the situation would have triggered accusing thoughts of condemnation, encouraged by satan (this whole attack on David's Throne was part of a bigger spiritual warfare, where satan tried to stop God's purposes thru him), that would have paralysed his faith had he allowed them. So, it was necessary for him to bring these thoughts to God in prayer, claiming His covenant mercy & grace.

Move Over Ed Abby, Sy Montgomery's Newest Book Exercises her Story-telling Chops and Her Inner Philosopher in a Big Way.“(To) Wait . . . an ironic verb, an action word, used to describe inaction. Derived from the French “to wake, to become alert to” To wait and to wake are not opposites but twins. We love NOW because it IS now. “Now” holds at once all of time in its fullness” ~ Sy Montgomery, “Of Time and Turtles”Turtles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, more than 200 million years ago. Even then they may have been subject to the whims of “traffic” but they have, nonetheless, withstood the test of time.To many Native American nations, from the Navajo of the southwestern US to the Abenaki and Iroquois in my own northeast lineage, North America's indigenous people are tied to turtles. The continent itself is often referred to as Turtle Island based on various legends that Turtle delivered North America to earth upon its back. So you may presume, rightly, that I would eagerly anticipate this latest book by New Hampshire's own Sy Montgomery. After having read, listened to, and reread Sy Montgomery's newest book, “Of Time and Turtles - Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell,” I am thoroughly convinced that had she been born into the Iroquois Nation, a matrilinial society, she would have been seen as a mystic and given a fitting honorific, something akin to “Speaks with Turtles.” Of Time and Turtles - Mending the World, Shell by Shattered ShellWritten by Sy Montgomery, Illustrated by Matt Patterson

Nuances of Balance and Feedback with Christine Winoto, Executive Director, UCSF Rosenman Institute and Founding Partner at MedTech Venture Partners! Christine Winoto, Executive Director at UCSF Rosenman Institute and Founding Partner at MedTech Venture Partners joins Maureen Shaffer, CEO, Mingletoe, to chat about medtech, healthtech, and digital health startups. When I engaged Christine to help identify the common pitfalls for startups, she redirected the conversation to talk about how the UCSF Rosenman Institute meets people where they are with what they need. And connects the founders to relevant resources (people mostly) to meet their needs, whereas often times we want to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution. Christine had such a nuanced and wise approach to offering advice, providing feedback, and choosing what to do next as a founder. She shared why it was important to be cautious of judging as an outsider and why what startups need and what they think they need may be differ. It was a remarkable and enlightening conversation that changed the way I approach feedback and providing guidance. Listen to hear for yourself! Watch to see!

Week ThreeDecember 17, 2021Remembering and Persevering! Hebrews 10:32-39So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. Hebrews 10:35 (NIV)We have heard of stories of people who have waited for loved ones to return from a journey or an assignment and what a joy it is when they finally receive them back. We have also heard of some people who have unfortunately given up “a few minutes” before realizing their dreams.I once heard a story about a miner who gave up and sold off what he considered a useless mine but unknown to him, he was just a few meters away from the gold that he had been looking for most of his life. In Hebrews 10:32-39, the author talks about remembering our love or commitment to faith in Jesus. “So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded,” (v. 35). “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what God has promised” (v. 37).As we await the coming of the Lord, we are being called upon:To Wait patiently on God's promiseTo Remember our love and commitment to the message of Jesus.To Persevere in order to receive what the Lord has promised. Do you know what the Lord has promised you? Knowing what the Lord has promised us is one of the things that will help us to persevere and not give up, especially when the journey gets hard. As we wait on the Lord's coming, let us do so joyfully and with perseverance, knowing that the Lord is coming soon and will not delay! Are you expectant?

Paul closes his thoughts on Love in 1 Corinthians 13. In speaking about Love, Paul tells us that there are two preceding components: Faith and Hope. And then he boldly declares that the greatest of these is Love.  How are we supposed to understand this idea with its Hebraic foundation? What does it mean? With this final episode - Part 30 - in my 1 Corinthians 13 series, I will unpack the biblical concept of Love as it relates back to the opening statement that Paul makes in 1 Corinthians 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels But there is no Love towards me, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.  FAITH in Hebrew is Emunah. The core meaning is: A trainer or one who is trained A Tutor A Mentor A Master Coach, Guide, or Instructor A Craftsman A Specialist An Artisan An Artist HOPE in Hebrew is Koveh. The core meaning is: To Wait for something To Hope for something To Expect something What is it that we are to hope for with the idea of Hope? Paul explains it with simplicity in Romans 8:23 "...We also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body." Hope is about the Hebrew Techiat HaMatim -- the literal Last Day resurrection from the dead. LOVE in Hebrew is Ahavah. The core meaning is: To give a life for a life To demonstrate giving before receiving These points define why Love is the greatest of all spiritual matters. Without biblical Love, faith and Hope are meaningless terms. With Love, the principal teaching of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 4:12 fulfills the statement: Moreover, the Rope (or Cord) of the Three is not speedily (suddenly or hastily) torn apart. What is The Rope or Cord of The Three? Join me for this final program in my 30-part series on Defining Biblical Love.

 In that moment I knew I loved you. The bitter months that led up to that night were nonexistant. Wiped clean. A different kind of love overwhelmed me.To Wait by Zara Marimuthu We have this picture of what love should look like. We see “perfect couples” and want to embody their relationship. But for me, I had to relearn what that image was. It wasn’t prince charming. It was looking at my partner in his rawest form and still choosing to stand by him.
