Podcasts about transcendent

Laverne Cox is an actress, producer, and LGBTQ+ advocate, and as of June 9, she's also the author of her memoir, Transcendent. In this episode, Cox discusses how her childhood love of thrifting has evolved into a vintage Mugler obsession, why it feels "divine" for her memoir to come out in this political moment, and what it was like being “broke and fabulous” in New York City before she booked Orange Is the New Black. Plus, Cox shares some of her greatest writing inspirations, including bell hooks and Walt Whitman.

Laverne Cox never fit in as a child in Mobile, Ala. But she really didn't want to. From an early age, she knew she was going to be a star, and she was right. Decades later, Cox would break through as Sophia Burset on Netflix's “Orange Is the New Black,” and become the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy Award in an acting category.  In this episode of “Modern Love,” Cox talks about her new memoir, “Transcendent.” She tells the story of how she became the star she always knew she was, the men she loved along the way and how she learned to fully love herself.  How to submit a Modern Love EssayHow to submit a Tiny Love Story Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

This is part four of our examination of the ten unfathomable talks by master Tong'an Changcha, moving on to the one called The Transcendent within Dust and Dirt. The text says:   "That which is impure is impure by itself; that which is pure is pure by itself. Highest wisdom and delusion are likewise empty and even. Who could say that nobody can appreciate Bianhe's jade? I say that the jewel of the black dragon shines everywhere. Only when the myriad dharmas disappear does the whole thing appear. The Three Vehicles split up and assumed only provisional names. Truly outstanding people have determination that knows no bounds. Do not try to go where the buddhas have already gone."    This talk was given during the Treeleaf monthly zazenkai, on June 6th, 2026   For more information, visit treeleaf.org

HT2637 - The Transcendent Moment The term "The Decisive Moment" has been an important concept in photographic circles since Cartier-Bresson first coined it with the publication of his book of that name in 1952. I've always struggled with this term because I think of the decisive moment as a time-related concept. Rather than capturing the right instant, I'm more drawn to photographers like André Kertész who give us the transcendent moment.

www.theinvisibleeverywhere.com In an era of high anxiety about artificialintelligence, one former Harvard physicist is using it to exploreGod. Dr. Michael Guillén's groundbreaking 80-minute documentary,The Invisible Everywhere: Believing Is Seeing, was createdentirely with consumer-grade AI tools by Guillén alone on a home computer — noHollywood studio, no Hollywoodcrew. Premiering April 8 at www.theinvisibleeverywhere.com, the film uses stunning visuals to tellthe story of how modern science dismantled Guillén's atheism. Please refer to the press release belowfor additional information, and let me know if you would like toschedule an interview with Dr. Michael Guillén. View the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/1168838844?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci [1]. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Groundbreaking AI-Generated Documentaryon Science and Faith Premieres April 8 DALLAS, Texas, March 6, 2026 — At a timewhen artificial intelligence is raising urgent questionsabout authenticity and truth, The Invisible Everywhere: Believing IsSeeing demonstrates how emerging AI tools can be used to exploreenduring spiritual questions. The 80-minute documentary might verywell be the first feature-length motion picture created entirely by asingle filmmaker using consumer-grade artificial intelligencetools on a standard home desktop computer. The film chronicles former Harvardphysics instructor and Emmy Award-winning ABC News Science EditorDr. Michael Guillén's adventurous and surprising journey fromatheism to Christianity — and his conclusion that modern sciencepoints beyond materialism. “While AI raises many legitimateconcerns about authenticity and truth, The Invisible Everywhereillustrates how AI is enabling ‘the power of one' — liberating talentedfilmmakers from traditional Hollywoodgatekeepers by democratizing the cinematic arts and sciences,” Guillén said. As a scientist and committed atheist,Guillén used to believe that reality is limited to what can beobserved and measured. His guiding principle was “seeing is believing.” That conviction began to unravel when helooked to empirical science for answers to life's biggest questions: How did the cosmos begin? Where is themind located? How did life on Earth begin? Is there life after death? Are we alone? Does God exist? Through physics, cosmology and rigorousinquiry, Guillén reached a conclusion that stunned him: Modernscience does not eliminate God; it clearly points to Him. “Modern science now believes that mostof reality is not visible, not logical and not even imaginable,”Guillén said. This unexpected revelation shattered hisatheism and turned his lifelong motto on its head — from“seeing is believing” to “believing is seeing.” Many documentaries explore the visibleuniverse. The Invisible Everywhere explores what cannot be seen. “If I still lived by the motto ‘seeingis believing,' I'd be blind to most of what's real,” Guillénsaid. “Today, because of what I've learned on my long, windingjourney, I now can see the invisible creator — everywhere. It's ajourney that changed my life forever.” The Invisible Everywhere premieresworldwide April 8 exclusively at www.theinvisibleeverywhere.com [2]. “Modern science is not the enemy ofGod,” Guillén added. “It might very well be His strongest ally.” EARLY PRAISE FOR The InvisibleEverywhere “Amazing film.” — Glen Reynolds, founder, Circus RoadFilms “Literally breathtaking!!!Transcendent.” — Kathy Ross, co-founder, Reasons toBelieve “Eye-opening! Magnificent.” — Dr. Rice Broocks, author, God's NotDead TIP SHEET The press release above may be publishedin part or entirely by any print, broadcast or internet/digitalmedia outlet, or used by any means of social media sharing.

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) The Buddha's Upanisā Sutta offers one of his most quietly radical teachings: that liberation doesn't begin with getting comfortable, but with honestly meeting what hurts. Drawing on this "proximate cause" discourse from SN 12.23, this talk traces the transcendent sequence of dependent origination — from dukkha through faith, joy, tranquility, and insight, all the way to freedom. We'll explore what it means to stop treating difficulty as an obstacle to practice and start recognizing it as the practice's first gate — on the cushion, in daily life, and in our closest relationships.

The transfiguration of Jesus, as recounted in Mark 9:1–9, serves as a divine revelation of His divine glory and supreme authority, affirming His identity as the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophets while surpassing them in dignity and power. Through a carefully structured event echoing the Exodus and Sinai theophanies, Jesus is revealed in radiant glory alongside Moses and Elijah, who discuss His impending 'exodus'—His death and resurrection as the ultimate deliverance from sin and death. The voice from the cloud declaring, 'This is My beloved Son; listen to Him,' establishes Jesus as the final and authoritative revealer of God, surpassing even the greatest figures of the Old Covenant. This moment calls believers to prioritize Christ above all earthly authorities, to endure present suffering with confident hope in future glory, and to live in humility and faithfulness, knowing that every believer shares in Christ's transfigured destiny. Ultimately, the passage underscores the urgency of faith and evangelism, warning that eternal judgment awaits those who reject Christ, while affirming that salvation is found only in Him.

Oh wow! It was my pleasure to have a coffee with and speak to the writer Lucy Caldwell about her new short story collection, DEVOTIONS (published by Faber and Faber). That's right, we were live and in person having a coffee talking about Lucy's new collection I revelled in a theatre troupe performing a choose your own version of Hamlet; I had a wry smile watching Christopher Plummer ponder on whether he really did love Julie Andrews, and among the many other stories, continued to marvel at Lucy's capacity to meditate on death, existence, light and love. Lucy is from Belfast. She lives in Kent, but we had our conversation in London.  Other useful links to heighten your Rippling Pages experience Get exclusive subscriber benefits from the Rippling Pages.  https://patreon.com/RipplingPagesPod?utm_medi Check out the Rippling Pages Bookshop and buy all the books featured on the Rippling Pages: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Interested in hosting your own podcast?

To pray is "to lift up our minds and hearts to God."  Often, however, we lose a proper sense of the grandeur and awesome nature of God.  Routine makes us used to prayer and God becomes something taken for granted, ordinary, and even boring.  Reflecting on God's power and transcendence can spark us to a renewed love for him and new horizons in our prayer life.  

We may have difficulty relating to Hashem, but we must always remember our relationship transcends every person, place, and thing.

This project is approaching the final chapter of Book I, a critical juncture with Napoleon victorious and holding the greatest reputation man can bestow.  Even after Napoleon suffered a string of defeats years later, his reputation was colossal when Tolstoy wrote War &Peace. Many readers coming to this book do not realize Napoleon is something of a dark force utilized to portray how to view those who send others to die for a ruler's vain ambitions. In this regard, it is important to recall how Tolstoy was influenced the Bible book of Ecclesiastes, which comments on vainglorious ambitions as well as the meaningless of everything without an appreciation of the Transcendent. Tolstoy is reaching to you from another age, highlighting how you can recognize War's profane nature compared to what is above.  Tolstoy recognizes how calls to war are a siren's song as well as how easy it is to get young men to answer, usually via a small bounty or appeal to patriotism.Acknowledging the idiosyncratic pacifist Tolstoy became, his work still recognizes how a defensive war is more justified than the type of conflict at Austerlitz. Further, Tolstoy was exceptionally critical of his own government, which makes War & Peace so relevant in our times. In this spirit, I bring up the following story:Upon Russia's mass invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Aleksei Nikitin, a regular citizen from Moscow, tried to make a difference and stood up to power.Aleksei recognized crossing his neighbors' border and unleashing the largest land invasion since the Second World War is the type of aggression Tolstoy condemned.   Aleksei brought Tolstoy into his public protest by writing an excerpt on a poster-board from the 1894 essay “On Patriotism.” It read:“Patriotism is the abdication of human dignity, reason and conscience and a slavish submission to those in power. Patriotism is slavery.”It was a controversial sentiment then and remains so.  This essay described Tolstoy's conception of patriotism -- in that militaristic age -- as a vulgar sentiment used by governments to justify their war machines. He argued it is opposite to what he took out of the Bible, namely Christian brotherhood. Aleksei's use of the essay speaks to what Tolstoy has Andrei grasp as Andrei views the senselessness of a red-haired Russian artilleryman squaring off against a French attacker – both Christians struggling over a mop as if it was the Holy Grail. Tolstoy was speaking to the baseness of what he witnessed, as a soldier on campaigns in Chechnya and being on the losing side of the Crimean War.Tolstoy points out that men mercilessly hacking one another have a great deal more in common with one other – than the men of supposedly higher status, who sent them to die.  Tolstoy described, in another part of the essay:"It is even impossible to imagine, how and for what, Russian and German workmen, peacefully and conjointly working on the frontiers or in the capitals, should clash. And much less easily can one imagine animosity between some Kazan peasant who supplies Germans with wheat, and a German who supplies the peasant with scythes and machines. It is the same between French, German, and Italian workmen."Aleksei Nikitin was arrested and the Moscow police statement on the proceeding was carefully worded and likely came from their Intelligence Service:“This writer's (Tolstoy's) works and articles were harshly critical of the ruling (Czarist) regime, including justifying violence against the government.   Therefore, the actions of Citizen Nikitin should be interpreted as a call to overthrow the existing authorities and also to follow the ideology of Tolstoy.”This was a revealing acknowledgement that the philosophy of Tolstoy is threat to a system throwing countless men into their War Machine. Nevertheless, the Russian government succeeded in stunting that portion of citizenry who were in line with the ideals of Tolstoy. Once the internal dissension was suppressed, the Russian leader found it prudent to create, a “Tolstoy Peace Prize.”Over his career, Tolstoy brought out how such aggression brings out an ever-lasting hatred by those affected. Some of such work involves Chechnya.  One of Tolstoy's first short stories, “The Raid,” from 1853, explored amidst the Chechen  landscape -- what motivates man to kill his fellow. Further, one of final works, “Hadji Murad,” tells the story of  brutal campaigns against Chechnya, which  involved the burning of villages, fields, and livestock. Tolstoy took to heart how raids would leave the helpless crying in despair;He recognized, how such aggression promotes a natural resistance, like many Chechens have demonstrated for generations; and like the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians have capably demonstrated in our times.

David Adair finishes our series on the attributes of God by opening Psalm 113 to look at God's transcendence and his immanence; we see that God's greatness and closeness are what lead us to worship him.

Will we ever fully know and understand God? And if we could … would that even be God? In this final episode of our Unexpected Divine conversations, Revs. Brittany and Hannah explore John 1:18: “No one has ever seen God. It is God, the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.” Through their conversation, the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego use poetic theology, humor, and real-life reflection to wrestle with: What it means that Jesus “exegetes” (reveals) the heart of God Why mystery is not a weakness of faith, but its depth How Jesus reshapes our understanding of transcendence Why not knowing everything about God doesn’t excuse us from justice Whether Christocentrism is compatible with Jesus’ own ministry How diversity in religions may reflect the vastness of the Divine From TikTok analogies to the Grand Canyon, from Mary & Martha to Sankofa, this conversation invites us into a faith that is expansive, relational, and beautifully unfinished. Reflection Questions: What does Jesus show us about God? Which ideas about God have shaped my faith, and which no longer help me grow? What does it mean that God is not “seen” but is still “made known”?

Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 8 2026. Main Idea: Each era of worship throughout biblical and church history has something to celebrate and has contributed significantly to what we now enjoy as “blended worship.” Blended worship should not simply aim to find a middle ground between extreme styles, but instead involve curating the best lessons learned throughout history. Challenge: How can we learn from the best lessons and failures of history to have the most God-honoring approach to worship? Eight Eras of Musical Worship1. Personal & Priestly2. Tambourines & Tabernacle3. Psalms & Professionalism4. Synagogue & Study5. Christ & Creeds6. Transcendent & Theatrical 7. Hymnals & Homiletics8.

Why does the Old Testament often feel like a disconnected moral history book? In this powerful series opener, David Schwartz explores how the entire biblical narrative—starting from the very first verses of Genesis—is fundamentally about the person of Jesus Christ. By understanding God as the uncreated Creator who exists above time yet chooses to step into our chaos, we discover a Savior who doesn't just offer life coaching, but a total heart transplant.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.Message Chapters0:00 – The Entire Scripture Points to Jesus Christ4:16 – Five Major Biblical Doctrines Rooted in Genesis7:56 – Defining God as Transcendent and Personally Present9:22 – Diagnosing the Human Problem as Internal Rebellion12:25 – Analyzing the First Two Verses of Creation15:43 – Understanding God as the Uncreated Creator of Time23:18 – The Spirit Hovering Over Our Formless Chaos28:20 – Jesus as the Living Word Present at Creation

Why teach Math? John Swartz is ambitious here. Hear him connect the question of why he teaches math with the question of why he exists along with stories of Almanzo Wilder and his own experience. He brings teaching experience as well as specific training in mathematics. He's worked in curriculum at Christian Light and also served as a minister for many years. In this episode, John quotes Larry Zimmerman who states that, “Christian teachers motivate their students to learn mathematics in two ways: first mathematics exhibits the glory of God, second mathematics equips students to care for the creation.” This comes from Zimmerman's book, Truth and the Transcendent. John recognizes the utilitarian value of mathematics but is most interested in exploring the proposal  that, “Math is the language of the universe,” and that it is not a neutral subject. This talk provides a thought-provoking investigation of an underexamined subject that occupies quite a bit of space in all of our schools.   Links More recordings from CASBI 2013: https://thedockforlearning.org/series/casbi/casbi-2013/ This recording was first published as “Why Teach Math?” on The Dock: https://thedockforlearning.org/lecture/why-teach-math/ More information about Conservative Anabaptist School Board Institute: https://casbi.info/ Books When Are We Ever Going to Have to Use This?
