Kungamakten har organiserat samhällen sedan det forntida Egypten för 5000 år sedan till modern tid. Trots industrialisering, förödande världskrig och demokratisering är en betydande andel av de mest demokratiska samhällena på jorden konstitutionella monarkier.Att vara kung har varit ett av de farligaste yrkena på jorden. Kungamakten har ofta utmanats av äregiriga adelsmän, generaler, andra kungar eller folkliga uppror. Därför har det varit livsviktigt för kungamakten att skaffa sig legitimitet – ofta från gud – men också från traditionen, ritualer och symboler.I avsnitt 106 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikerna Erik Petersson som bland annat skrivit biografier om Karl IX och Kristian II. Han aktuell med boken Kungar – En världshistoria - som tar in hela världshistorien med fokus på kungamakten.Länge var historia kungarnas historia, ett perspektiv som fått ge vika för en bättre genomlysning av hela samhället. Samtidigt går det inte att blunda för hur central kungamakten varit för världshistorien i tusentals år.När hövdingar utvecklades till kungar vilade fortfarande kungamakten på relationer mellan kungen och underlydande män och länsherrar. Senare i historien utvecklades en byråkrati och stående armé som blev stommen till en enväldig kungamakt i Europa och kejsardömet Kina.Kungamakten har regelbundet utmanats från alla håll i samhällena, men den största utmaningen har visat sig vara stålet som i grunden förändrade krigsföringen i världen. De mest livskraftiga monarkierna var de som under 1900-talet hade förmågan att anpassa sig till ett mer demokratiskt samhälle.Foto: Gabriella ErikssonBild: Nio kungar på Edward den VII:s begravning.

In this episode of VarnVlog, we are joined by Brandon Lightly to discuss the complex and often misunderstood history of Maoism. We dive deep into the theoretical underpinnings of the "mass line" and "new democracy," exploring how these concepts served as an internal critique of Marxism and a departure from Soviet-style bureaucracy.Key Topics Covered:Defining the Mass Line: Is it just populism, or a sophisticated leadership feedback loop?The Historical Origins: From the Hunan Report to the Long March and the second United Front.Theoretical Innovations: Mao's 1961 critique of Joseph Stalin and the rejection of the "Great Man" theory of history.Fragmentation: Why there are so many different Maoist tendencies (MLM, MIM, Third Worldism).Praxis: The rectification movement and the relationship between urban intellectuals and the rural peasantry.Journal ArticlesDirlik, A.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8594LA BUFALA DI GIOVANNA D'ARCO COME PRIMA FEMMINISTA DELLA STORIAdi Cristina Siccardi L'Unione Europea e i media "griffati" invitano spesso e volentieri ad essere solleciti nel verificare le notizie per non cadere nella trappola delle fake news, quando poi sono loro stessi a propinarle in gran quantità. L'ultima, in ordine di tempo, è quella lanciata dall'Agenzia Stampa AGI con l'articolo del 28 maggio u.s. con l'articolo intitolato Giovanna d'Arco, la prima femminista della Storia. Sia ben chiaro e scritto a chiare lettere: non solo nessuna santa della Chiesa Cattolica può essere etichettata come femminista, ma neppure nessuna donna, che si professa cattolica, può essere una femminista. Il modello per ogni donna credente nella Santissima Trinità ha come modello e stella polare Maria Santissima, che non può avere nulla a che vedere con una ideologia che non solo va contro le leggi di Dio, ma anche contro le leggi di natura. Il femminismo è una patologia politica e cultura iniziata sì in Francia, ma tre secoli dopo Jeanne d'Arc, sotto la Rivoluzione francese.Di fronte a queste menzogne paganeggianti che strumentalizzano, per scopi ideologici, figure come quelle dei santi, non si può far altro che, con fonti storiche alla mano, ricordare chi sono state realmente. Nessuna interpretazione, ma solo fatti e date. La memoria liturgica della cosiddetta Pulzella d'Orléans cade il 30 di maggio, giorno del suo dies natalis. Fin da quando aveva tredici anni fu eletta ed investita da Dio per una missione religiosa e politica di altissima responsabilità: liberare la Francia dalla prepotenza inglese in nome di Dio.La Chiesa, in quel periodo, viveva la profonda crisi del grande scisma d'Occidente, durato quasi 40 anni. Quando Caterina da Siena (1347-1380) morì c'erano un Papa e un antipapa; quando Giovanna nacque, nel gennaio del 1412 (si dice il giorno dell'Epifania, ma la cronologia è incerta), c'erano un Papa e due antipapi. Insieme a questa lacerazione all'interno della Chiesa, vi erano continue lotte fratricide fra i popoli europei, la più drammatica delle quali fu la «Guerra dei cent'anni» tra Francia e Inghilterra, iniziata nel 1337 e conclusasi, con pause intermedie, nel 1453.Guerre, carestie, pestilenze, eresie prostrarono l'Europa. Era il tempo degli incubi, dove nell'immaginario collettivo le autentiche manifestazioni mistiche si intrecciavano con le magie e le stregonerie, il mondo reale della sofferenza e della morte cruenta si sovrapponeva alle fantasie demoniache popolate di mostri e di balli macabri. In questo clima di sopraffazione, di congiure e di usurpatori, di confusione nella Chiesa e nelle nazioni, l'analfabeta Jeanne, nata a Domrémy (oggi Domrémy-la-Pucelle), nei Vosgi, nella regione della Lorena, scrive una lettera di fuoco e di grazia il 22 marzo 1429, martedì della Settimana Santa:LA PULZELLA INVIATA DA DIO«Gesù, Maria! Re d'Inghilterra e voi duca di Bedford che vi dite reggente del regno di Francia, voi Guglielmo di La Poule, conte di Suffolk, Giovanni sire di Talbot, e voi Tommaso sire di Scales, che vi dite luogotenenti del duca di Bedford, rendete giustizia al Re del cielo. Restituite alla Pulzella che qui è stata inviata da Dio, il Re del cielo, le chiavi di tutte le buone città da voi prese e violate in Francia. Ella è venuta qui da parte di Dio per implorare il sangue reale. Ella è pronta a far pace, se volete renderle giustizia, a patto che le restituiate la Francia e paghiate per averla tenuta. E fra voi, arcieri compagni di guerra e voi altri che siete sotto la città di Orléans, andatevene nel vostro paese in nome di Dio; e se non lo fate attendete notizie della Pulzella che ben presto vi vedrà in grandissime disgrazie. Re d'Inghilterra, se così non fate, io sono condottiero e in qualunque luogo attenderò in Francia le vostre genti, volenti o nolenti le caccerò via. E se non vogliono obbedire, tutte le farò uccidere; sono qui inviata da parte di Dio, Re del cielo, corpo a corpo, per espellervi da tutta quanta Francia. E se vogliono obbedire saranno nelle mie grazie. E non pensate altrimenti, perché non otterrete il regno di Francia da Dio, il Re del cielo, figlio di Santa Maria, ma l'avrà re Carlo, il vero erede, perché Dio, il Re del cielo, lo vuole [...]» (AA.VV., Storia dei Santi e della santità cristiana, a cura di André Vauchez, Università di Parigi X - Nanterre, vol. VII, p. 145).Jeanne, la cui vita, consumatasi in 19 anni, fu un mistero di ineffabile gioia e di inesplicabile dolore, era la minore dei cinque figli di Jacques d'Arc e di Isabelle Romée, agiati contadini. Nell'estate del 1425, all'età di 13 anni, nel giardino di casa, sente una voce... è quella di san Michele Arcangelo, che le dice di far sua la causa della Francia. Udrà la voce ancora molte volte e ad essa si uniranno quelle delle vergini e martiri santa Margherita D'Antiochia (275 - 290) e di santa Caterina d'Alessandria (287-305). L'incalzante invito era accompagnato a quello di far consacrare Carlo di Valois (1403-1461) quale re di Francia. Ma come era possibile? Giovanna fece resistenza: era una semplice ragazza adolescente, come avrebbe potuto ottemperare a quella richiesta? Ma il Signore rende possibile l'umanamente impossibile.IL VOTO DI VERGINITÀDomrémy si trovava ai confini del regno, nella valle della Mosa che divideva la Francia dall'Impero Romano-Germanico. Gli Anglo-Borgognoni nel 1428 si impadronirono di tutte le piazze della Mosa rimaste fedeli al Delfino di Francia: Domrémy fu devastata; ciò decise il capitano di Vaucouleurs, Robert de Baudricourt (ca. 1400-1454), che in un primo tempo aveva considerato Jeanne d'Arc una pazza, di inviarla alla missione da lei richiesta: salvare Orléans; far consacrare il Re; cacciare gli Inglesi dalla Francia; liberare il duca d'Orléans.Jeanne, che aveva fatto voto di verginità per amore di Gesù Cristo, indossati abiti maschili e tagliati i capelli, non per farsi maschio e rivaleggiare con i maschi, ma per nascondere prudenzialmente il più possibile la sua identità femminile per non essere oggetto di interesse in mezzo a tutti quegli uomini, venne armata di tutto punto e sul suo stendardo venne dipinto Cristo Re, affiancato da due angeli, con le parole «Jesus-Maria». Nessuna spada in mano, dunque (come invece certe letture femministe farneticano), ma sempre e solo il vessillo di Fede.Il nome di Gesù comparirà sempre nell'intestazione delle sue lettere, sul suo anello e morirà pronunciandolo più volte a gran voce. La Pulzella si unì ad un esercito d'appoggio che proteggeva un convoglio di approvvigionamento e riuscì ad arrivare ad Orléans dalla riva sinistra. L'8 maggio 1429 gli inglesi assedianti furono sconfitti. Da qui si susseguirono una battaglia dopo l'altra e in queste circostanze il coraggio soprannaturale della giovane santa ricorda la tempra dei condottieri dell'antico Testamento, garantiti dal Dominus Deus sabaoth (Signore Dio degli eserciti).Il 17 luglio dello stesso anno, Carlo VII venne incoronato a Reims alla sua presenza. Il successo la consacrò eroina inviata dal Cielo: la gente voleva toccare i suoi abiti, il suo cavallo, l'avvicinavano per conoscere il futuro, per richiedere grazie e guarigioni...Jeanne d'Arc vinse il dominio straniero per volontà di Dio e riuscì ad infondere audacia e speranza nell'esercito regio; ma gli storici oggettivi concordano anche nel riconoscerle il merito di aver allontanato con il nemico anche il Protestantesimo, che altrimenti si sarebbe innestato in Francia. Tuttavia le truppe inglesi la fecero prigioniera a Compiègne il 23 maggio 1430. Dopo due giorni dalla cattura, l'Università di Parigi chiese che l'Inquisizione la giudicasse come una strega. Questa soluzione piacque molto al duca di Bedford in quanto gli consentiva di screditare Carlo VII, che sarebbe apparso come colui che doveva la conquista del trono alle potenze infernali.L'INIQUO PROCESSO DI IDOLATRIA, SCISMA E APOSTASIAIl 9 gennaio 1431 il vescovo Pierre Cauchon (1371-1442) aprì il processo presso Rouen nel castello di Le Bouvreuil, fortezza di Richard Beauchamp (1382-1439) che, conte di Warwich e governatore della città dal 1427, aveva precise consegne dal sovrano Enrico VI (1421-1471). Fra gli assessori convocati, sei provenivano dall'Università di Parigi, inoltre erano presenti circa sessanta prelati ed avvocati ecclesiastici, fra cui il Vescovo di Norwich e, al di sopra del Collegio Giudicante, il Cardinale di Winchester, Henry Beaufort (ca. 1374-1447), prozio e cancelliere di Enrico VI.L'iniquo processo durò dal 20 febbraio al 24 marzo 1431. L'imputata era accusata di idolatria, scisma e apostasia. Durante il processo le venne chiesto se era in grazia di Dio ed ella rispose: «Se non ci sono, voglia Dio mettermici, e se ci sono voglia Dio tenermici». I suoi interrogatori furono un capolavoro di determinazione e perseveranza nella sola fede cattolica. Fu abbandonata al braccio secolare. Il 30 maggio 1431 Giovanna venne arsa viva sulla piazza del Vieux-Marché di Rouen. Morì contemplando una grande croce astile che frate Isembard de la Pierre aveva portato per lei.Nel 1456 fu solennemente proclamata la sua riabilitazione; sarà beatificata da san Pio X (1835-1914) nel 1910 e canonizzata nel 1920 da Benedetto XV (1854-1922). Una sua statua è stata posta nella cattedrale di Winchester, dinnanzi alla tomba del Cardinale Beaufort, colui che ebbe un ruolo decisivo nel tragico e infausto processo.La martire francese resta personalità unica e straordinaria e rivela tangibilmente la potente presenza di Dio nella Storia; così come la sua limpida testimonianza dimostra gli errori che gl
I recently joined Annika Taylor on The Wellness Rebel Podcast to talk about mold toxicity, and how it can cause not only physical symptoms, but also brain symptoms such as anxiety, depression, OCD, brain fog, mood swings, and in more severe cases, psychosis.Watch the full conversation above. Below is a recap of our conversation, along with the resources we discussed along the way.Chapters:0:00 Introduction to Mold and Mental Health1:47 Understanding Mold Exposure and Illness5:13 Personal Journey with Mold Illness8:40 Sources of Mold Exposure12:12 Physical Symptoms of Mold Toxicity18:54 Mental Health Impacts of Mold Exposure25:32 Identifying Mold in the Environment32:28 Treatment Options for Mold ToxicityI. What Is Mold-Related Illness?Mold-related illness can be broken down into three distinct categories that often get lumped together: mold allergy, mold toxicity, and mold colonization. Mold allergy, which most people are familiar with, is a reaction to outdoor or indoor mold spores. Mold toxicity is different: it happens when mycotoxins actually accumulate in the body, something that appears to affect roughly 25% of people who can't effectively remove the toxins on their own. This explains why one family member in a home with mold can get seriously ill while another in the same house is fine. Third is the lesser-known mold colonization, where mold spores take hold directly in the sinuses or even the GI tract. That means a person can be out of a moldy environment for years and still have an internal source of toxicity.II. My Own Mold StoryMy interest in mold began around 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with mold toxicity. For years prior, I had been dealing with chronic fatigue, symptoms of fibromyalgia, and vague neurological symptoms that neither my doctors nor I could explain. My daughter was also having complex chronic health issues that initially looked like developmental regression. Understanding the microbiome and dietary changes were helpful to both of us, as were the Walsh Research Institute's nutrient-based interventions, but the real turning point came when the topic of mold toxicity came across my radar in 2016.Mycotoxin testing and testing of our home and my office confirmed that we had significant exposure and toxicity, which we were treated for and benefited significantly from.III. When a Partner Isn't on Board: How Mold Treatment Affects the Whole FamilyOne thing that doesn't get talked about enough is how difficult it can be for someone to get out of or address an exposure if their spouse or partner is not on board. In my own case, I was fortunate — my then-husband was agreeable, especially when he realized how much clarity, decisiveness, and even sense of urgency I had. We'd dealt with significant health issues for a long time, and I didn't want something irreversible to emerge that would leave me in regret for not acting sooner. We acted on that instinct.We were very lucky to find that we were eligible for insurance coverage, which covered an extended-stay hotel while we had our home remediated. For a lot of families, that's not the reality. If a partner isn't on the same page, it can become one of the biggest reasons someone doesn't end up leaving a house with mold — whether that obstacle gets talked about openly or not. There are those who don't believe mold toxicity is real, and those who don't want to believe it's real (consciously or unconsciously). Education, input from those with expertise, or even seeking couples therapy can be necessary.It is important to remember that part of the treatment, namely addressing mold in the home, impacts the whole family.IV. Where Mold Hides: Common Sources of ExposureFor most people who test positive for mold toxicity, the primary exposure is likely environmental, as opposed to mold in food. Leaks under sinks, problems around windows, roof leaks, chimney flashing, damp basements, and high ambient humidity are all common culprits. High humidity left unaddressed can be a big problem. Estimates of the percentage of homes that mold have crept up over the years, from 50% to 75% to, as some consultants now say, essentially every building to some degree. I've seen a couple of children with developmental issues who had mold in their mattresses from bedwetting.V. The Physical Symptoms of Mold ToxicityMold toxicity often shows up as sinus issues (especially with colonization), asthma, and — notably in young children — recurring croup (spasmodic croup) and ear infections.Many people with mold toxicity also develop mast cell activation, which triggers an exaggerated immune response affecting the skin, respiratory tract, GI tract, and/or bladder. Racing heart, air hunger, and stomach pain can occur. Neurological complaints can include electric "jolt" sensations, numbness and tingling, headaches, light sensitivity, and temperature dysregulation.Many of these symptoms overlap with Lyme disease, EMF sensitivity, and other chronic conditions. The immune dysregulation caused by mold toxicity can contribute to a vulnerability to Lyme and its coinfections, Candida, SIBO, PANS, PANDAS, and more.VI. The Brain and Mental Health Symptoms of MoldBrain Fog, Fatigue, Anxiety, OCD, Psychosis, Mood Swings, Developmental Delays & Cognitive DeclineI don't know what psychiatric symptom mold toxicity can't cause. Brain fog and fatigue are especially common, as is anxiety. For some, mold toxicity can contribute to psychosis and/or dramatic mood swings. In children, mold toxicity can look like ADHD, anxiety, or developmental delays.I see mold toxicity as something that aligns with — and amplifies — someone's existing genetic vulnerabilities rather than acting alone. Most of the patients I see with severe conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe OCD have mold toxicity as a contributing factor, though, again, rarely the only factor.The Neurotransmitter ConnectionMold toxicity can drive up pyrrole levels, which in turn depletes zinc and B6 — two nutrients essential for neurotransmitter functioning. It can also worsen copper-zinc imbalances through oxidative stress and interfere with methylation, both of which also impact neurotransmitter functioning.A Client's Story: OCD and a Hidden LeakAnnika recalls when she became interested in helping those with mold toxicity. She shares the story of a friend whose severe, debilitating OCD — along with episodes of derealization and out-of-body sensations — turned out to trace back to black mold discovered behind a washing machine, the result of an old water leak. Once they addressed the mold, the connection became clear in hindsight.VII. Mold Toxins Can Create a Threat Response in the Body & BrainWhile we can have threats on the outside, mold toxicity is a threat we can have on the inside. When we are under threat, three systems tend to get activated: the immune system (as discussed with mast cell activation), the limbic system, and the autonomic nervous system. The limbic system puts the body into a vigilant, threat-scanning state — and for some people, that vigilance surfaces as OCD (an unconscious attempt to "make things right" when the body senses something is wrong), health anxiety, or a diffuse sense that something isn't okay.The autonomic nervous system, meanwhile, can get stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown mode instead of rest-and-digest. Annika is careful to frame this not something to fear, but something to understand — the goal isn't panic, it's empowerment.VIII. Testing for Mold: Home and BodyTesting Your EnvironmentIf there's visible water damage or visible mold, extensive testing usually isn't necessary. Generally, where there is water damage or water retained in a space, there will be mold growth. The priority becomes proper containment, and remediation. If there is no known issue and someone has mold toxicity (which could be from an old exposure), I recommend the ERMI-style dust test (I use Mycometrics), which measures water-damage-associated spore counts against outdoor spore counts from a simple cloth dust sample.I caution against relying solely on air sampling from a home inspector, which I and many of my patients have found unreliable by itself — surface or dust testing gives a clearer picture. Petri-dish testing (I use Immunolytics) can help pinpoint which room is affected, though it misses a couple of important mold species.Testing Your BodyFor testing mycotoxins in the body, I use RealTime Labs, an at-home urine test that screens for five toxin families. Annika discusses her experience with another company, which showed false negatives — a patient with a "no mold" result went untreated for years while ongoing exposure continued.To improve the accuracy of the test, I sometimes have patients do a sauna session or take glutathione in the days leading up to testing, to help mobilize toxins — though this isn't appropriate for everyone, particularly more sensitive patients.IX. Treatment: Binders, Antifungals, and DietEnvironment:Once someone has a positive test and a known or suspected source, I recommend having a consultant (separate from the remediation company, to avoid conflicts of interest) create a remediation plan — ideally with proper containment so the remediation process itself doesn't spread spores further. After remediation, a retest should be done to confirm the space is actually clean, ideally at the remediation company's expense if it isn't.Binders:On the body side, treatment typically starts with binders — chosen based on which toxins showed up on testing — such as bentonite clay, activated charcoal, chlorella, or cholestyramine (a prescription option that binds ochratoxin particularly well). I start sensitive patients low and slow, since mobilizing toxins can temporarily worsen symptoms.Antifungals When Appropriate:Depending on the response and whether colonization is present, treatment may progress to nasal or systemic antifungals.Diet:Because colonization is so common, minimizing sugar and refined carbs is very important, since these feed Candida and mold colonization directly. Foods with higher trace mold content — corn, peanuts, dried fruit, aged meats and cheeses, coffee, and non-shelled nuts — are also worth limiting, along with high-histamine foods for those who are histamine-reactive.X. Where to Learn MoreAs Annika emphasizes: this isn't about fearing every corner of your home — it's about being empowered with the right information.And as always, I welcome your thoughts, experience and questions.Until next time,CourtneyCourtney Snyder MD is a Holistic and Functional Child and Adult Psychiatrist who offers non-patient consultations to individuals and practitioners nationally and internationally in addition to her treatment practice serving FL, IN, KY, OH.

"The search for truth is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with truth. ²Truth is. ³It can neither be lost nor sought nor found. ⁴It is there, wherever you are, being within you. ⁵Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real or false to you. ⁶If you hide it, it becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with fear. ⁷Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the truth lies hidden. ⁸Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to believe that the more you look at fear the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals becomes.

Sermon Notes: Activating Dominion Through Signs and Tokens — Part 3 Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Main Text: Genesis 1:26–28 Cross-References: Joel 2:28, 1 Corinthians 12:4, Exodus 4:2, 2 Kings 4, Exodus 31 Core Theme: Understanding the diverse expressions of the prophetic office and learning to deploy signs, tokens, and materials as keys to execute God's legislative mandate of dominion on earth. 1. Introduction: The Blueprint of Dominion The Sovereign Intent: God's original purpose in creating humanity was to empower man to have dominion, meaning to be in charge, to be in control, to subdue, to police, and to take over a territory. The Conduit of Heaven: God executes His ultimate will on earth not by coming down directly, but by placing His dynamic thoughts and plans inside the hearts of men whom He has authorized to rule. The Sovereign Toolbox: Dominion does not manifest cheaply; it requires tools. If a believer understands and implements the spiritual tools provided by God, everything in life is structurally programmed to fall directly into place. 2. The Power and Function of the Prophetic A Key Instrument: Throughout scripture, the prophetic operates as one of God's chief instruments for enforcing dominion. Every child of God carries an inherent grace to function prophetically. Prophecy Defined: To speak inspired words that originate directly from the Holy Spirit. A true prophecy contains the raw spiritual energy required for immediate physical manifestation. The Sovereign Conflict: Many believers miss out on prophetic manifestations because they mistakenly blend all expressions of the prophetic into one category. While it is the same Spirit, there are vastly different operations. 3. The 8 Diverse Dimensions of Prophetic Expression 1 Corinthians 12:4 > "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa broke down the distinct prophetic functions outlined in Scripture: I. The Nabi (The Spoke-Person) Operation: One who speaks directly on behalf of God as His mouth-piece. Mechanics: Most anointed preachers operate in this dimension. As they preach, they deviate from their physical text to speak words straight from the Spirit that speak directly into the precise life situations of listeners. Examples: Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah. II. The Ro'eh (The Seer) Operation: One who sees deeply into the spirit realm. Mechanics: They see highly spectacular visionary revelations—such as revealing exact passport numbers, names, birthdays, and specific dates. This produces a sense of awe, but the Preacher noted that the seer dimension alone does not always carry the power to manifest miracles or physical healings. Examples: Samuel, Daniel, John the Revelator. III. The Chozeh / Hozeh (The Visionary) Operation: A prophet who receives revelations specifically concerning God's future strategy, plans, and long-term purposes. Mechanics: They possess future-oriented revelation that unlocks strategic insight into where things are going, showing communities or believers exactly what steps to take to bypass upcoming crises. Example: Daniel (who saw into the end times and the days of the Antichrist), Elisha. IV. The Shamar / Shamar (The Intercessor / Watchman) Operation: A watchman who guards, protects, and stays alert through sleepless nights on their knees. Mechanics: They do not always prophesy publicly from a stage; their prophetic function is entirely exercised through deep spiritual vigilance, warning, discernment, and dynamic intercession. Examples: Abraham (interceding for Lot), Ezekiel, Isaiah. V. The Psalmist Prophet Operation: Believers who release prophetic revelation strictly through songs, lyrics, poetry, and written worship. Mechanics: Their songs are not standard human music; they sing under the raw inspiration of the Holy Ghost, declaring mysteries and realities of heaven. Examples: David, Asaph, the sons of Korah. VI. The Dancing Prophet Operation: Prophetic revelation communicated directly through precise physical movements, symbolic acts, and spiritual dance. Mechanics: This is a highly spiritual choreography where a physical movement captures a frequency from heaven to impact the church atmosphere. Examples: Miriam, David, Ezekiel. VII. The Scribe (The Creative Writer) Operation: Prophets who preserve and release the words of God through text, visual arts, design, digital media, and architecture. Mechanics: They may never stand before a congregation, but their written words and creative expressions carry an undeniable prophetic voice that alters hearts. Examples: Bezaleel, Aholiab. VIII. The Prophet of Signs and Tokens Operation: A specialized prophetic dimension where God commands the minister to deploy material elements to anchor and trigger raw spiritual breakthroughs. Mechanics: This dimension carries massive structural power. It bypasses regular preaching to use physical objects to solve material problems. Example: Elisha (who used salt to heal waters, flour to neutralize poison in a pot, and a stick to make an iron axe-head float). 4. The Functional Reality of Signs and Tokens What is a Token? In the Hebrew text, a token translates to "Oth", which means an oracle, omen, signal, flag, or beacon. The Spiritual Definition: A physical medium or act designated by God to catch, anchor, and legally express an invisible spiritual reality. Covenants, tithing, first fruits, communion, and the laying on of hands are all active forms of tokens. Enforcing the Rule: Signs and tokens are everyday realities in both the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. When a physical action is aligned with a spiritual instruction, it releases an undeniable voice that forces physical laws to adjust. 5. Dynamic Case Studies of Prophetic Tokens Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa shared real-world testimonies demonstrating how prophetic actions override material challenges: The Token of the Axe-Head (2 Kings 6): When the borrowed iron axe-head fell into the Jordan river, Elisha didn't pray a generic prayer. He cut a piece of wood (a physical stick) and threw it onto the water. This physical sign instantly altered the material laws of density, causing the heavy iron to float to the surface. The Token of Earthly Alignment (The Shilo Sand): On a spiritual mission trip to Nigeria at Winners Chapel International, the Pastor picked up a physical handful of sand from Shilo. Upon returning, he poured it over the church's local land as a prophetic token, decreeing alignment with that global dimension of grace. The very next day, an intercessor, completely unaware of this act, had a clear vision of Bishop David Oyedepo walking defensively across their exact landscape. The Token Over Professional Restriction: A sister (Linda) was facing intense workplace opposition blocking a major promotion. Following a specific midnight prophetic direction, water was prayed over and poured directly onto the bare ground at her workplace. This token broke the hidden spiritual resistance, completely turning the administrative atmosphere in her favor and securing her promotion within days. The Token Over Stroke and Paralysis: A local driver was hit by a severe stroke that left him entirely paralyzed, unable to walk, stand, or talk. A prophetic token was deployed where his name was written down and permanently laid upon the altar. The localized legal voice of that altar completely reversed the stroke, restoring him to full physical mobility and speech. The Token of Light Over Death: In a late-night emergency, a young girl was completely unresponsive and suffocating on her way to the hospital. Receiving an immediate divine instruction, the Pastor took a physical flashlight on his table, declared that life would push out darkness, and switched it on. At that exact moment, miles away, the grip of death broke, and her respiratory system instantly returned to normal functionality. 6. Action Steps to Activate Your Prophetic Dominion Discover Your Prophetic Stream: Stop assuming you don't carry a prophetic gift just because you don't see visions. Recognize whether your grace flows through writing, intercession, song, or inspired speech, and use that tool to police your environment. Execute Prophetic Directions with Strict Commitment: When a prophetic instruction comes, whether it is to use oil, communion, or a physical seed—do not treat it as a light ritual. Signs and tokens require consistent, continuous implementation to release their full weight. Enforce Altar Interception: When facing patterns of stagnation, professional attack, or biological illness, do not address them in silence. Bring physical representations of your challenges (names, documents) and legally place them upon the church altar to invoke the legislative hand of God over your reality.

A Copa do Mundo de 2026 já entrou para a história antes mesmo do apito inicial. Pela primeira vez, o torneio será realizado em três países — Estados Unidos, Canadá e México — e contará com 48 seleções, tornando-se a maior edição já organizada pela FIFA. Mas, para quem estuda para o Instituto Rio Branco, a Copa nunca é apenas futebol. Neste episódio especial do Atualiza e Revisa, Luiza Bringel utiliza a Copa do Mundo como ponto de partida para revisar alguns dos temas mais importantes e recorrentes do CACD. A partir dos casos de Marrocos e Haiti, o episódio conecta atualidades, política internacional, política externa brasileira, história mundial e direito internacional em uma revisão estratégica voltada para o Instituto Rio Branco. Você vai entender: • Como a Copa do Mundo pode ser analisada como instrumento de soft power e diplomacia pública • As diferenças entre soft power, hard power e smart power na teoria de Joseph Nye • A importância dos grandes eventos esportivos para a projeção internacional dos Estados • A formação histórica do Marrocos e sua relevância geopolítica no Norte da África • A questão do Saara Ocidental e os debates sobre autodeterminação dos povos e descolonização • O papel da Frente Polisário, da MINURSO e da União Africana no conflito saaraui • A inserção internacional do Marrocos como ponte entre África, Europa e mundo árabe • A importância estratégica dos fertilizantes marroquinos para o agronegócio brasileiro • Como funciona o modelo brasileiro de Acordos de Cooperação e Facilitação de Investimentos (ACFI) • O significado da participação brasileira na MINUSTAH para a política externa do Brasil • O papel das operações de paz das Nações Unidas e a aplicação do Capítulo VII da Carta da ONU • A cooperação brasileira no Haiti nas áreas de agricultura, desenvolvimento e segurança alimentar • Os fluxos migratórios haitianos para o Brasil e a política de vistos humanitários • A importância histórica da Revolução Haitiana para a formação do mundo contemporâneo • Como temas como cooperação Sul-Sul, multilateralismo, migrações internacionais e desenvolvimento costumam aparecer nas provas do CACD Além disso, o episódio revisa assuntos frequentemente cobrados pela banca examinadora, como descolonização, autodeterminação dos povos, operações de paz, diplomacia pública, segurança alimentar, cooperação internacional, política externa brasileira, União Africana, mundo árabe e História Mundial.

Gościem pierwszego odcinka VII sezonu podcastu jest Tomek Szymański prowadzący profil Solo Show.

Abbiamo scelto di dedicare la puntata 95 a un titolo forte, non perché non se ne fosse parlato nei precedenti episodi, bensì per la necessità di chiarire ancora una volta come i Carabinieri furono venduti dal regime di Salò e dai fascisti repubblichini e dai militi della milizia, ben lieti di eliminare definitivamente un problema dato dalla fedeltà alle Istituzioni monarchiche e statuali del regno d'Italia che i Carabinieri simboleggiavano. Dunque il titolo “I Carabinieri in Nord Italia: 4 agosto 1944(l'ultima presenza)”. In questo caso, abbiamo guardato a contenuti già toccati, magari solo parzialmente, ma che in questa occasione abbiamo messo a sistema. Così si parla di Torino, dell'alessandrino, del Veneto e del Grappa, della Lucchesia. Fonti consultate:Ferdinando Angeletti, I Carabinieri nella Resistenzaalessadrina.

Kim Rogers (aka 'Worm Queen') is the co-founder and CEO of RogersHood Apothecary, a wellness company specializing in herbal detox and cleansing kits. You can purchase her best-selling Parasite ParaFy Cleanse Kit here. EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW-- I. Apothecary vs Pharmacy Discussion Nate and Kim discussed the origins and meanings of the words "apothecary" and "pharmacy," with Kim explaining how apothecary refers to natural herbal medicine while pharmacy refers to synthetic medications. Kim shared her experience going viral on TikTok in 2021 as the "worm queen" after discovering a parasite cleanse that helped resolve health issues she had been struggling with since 2019. II. Parasite Cleanse Business Journey Kim shared her journey from a 18-year career in Western medicine to creating her own parasite cleanse business after gaining significant TikTok fame when a video about deworming went viral, increasing her following from 10,000 to 210,000 in just two days. She discussed how she later discovered she had chronic Lyme disease undiagnosed for 30 years and mold poisoning, which led her to create additional health products including a Moldies kit. Kim explained that while she was a licensed medical specialist, she carefully avoids giving medical advice on her social media, instead sharing her personal experiences and what herbs have helped her, noting that TikTok later changed its community guidelines to restrict parasite cleansing content. III. Social Media Content Suppression Kim discussed her experience with social media suppression on TikTok and Instagram, where her content was significantly limited despite having 600,000 followers on TikTok. Despite the platform restrictions, Kim continued creating content daily across multiple platforms including Instagram, YouTube, and a podcast called "What's Eating You," with the goal of providing affordable and accurate testing for parasites, mold, and Lyme disease. She explained that her mission is driven by personal experience with health issues that altered her life, and she has expanded from a small shop to a 14,000 square foot facility while offering free educational content alongside her paid testing kits. IV. Kim's Health Advocacy Challenges Kim discussed her challenges fighting against Big Pharma, including being banned from 26 accounts over five years while building a following of 1.5 million across platforms. She shared her personal health struggles with chronic Lyme disease and PTSD from medical neglect, while continuing to advocate for alternative treatments including acupuncture, IVs, and red light therapy. The conversation included a detailed explanation of Kim's viral podcast clip about treating pinworms using scotch tape, which led to a broader discussion about the limitations of Western medicine and the need for comprehensive treatment approaches. V. Parasite Diagnosis and Treatment Challenges Kim and Nate discussed modern medicine's approach to treating health issues, with Kim sharing her experience of being diagnosed with worms and cryptosporidium parvium after catching them from water in Hoodsport, Washington. Kim explained that standard labs in the US failed to detect these parasites, requiring her to send samples to Mexico for proper diagnosis. She described the challenges of getting treatment approved by insurance due to the lack of domestic lab confirmation, and how her husband's treatment was denied despite the Mexican lab results showing his condition. VI. Lyme Disease Treatment Approaches Kim discussed her experiences with a controversial drug ending in "mectin" and explained the importance of using binders when taking it, as the drug kills parasites and releases toxins that need to be neutralized. She described how synthetic drugs like Iver work to break down biofilms and expose parasites, while also explaining her herbal approach that includes specific frequency-matched herbs to target different ailments. Kim revealed she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2023 after being bitten by ticks at age 11, and shared her experience of having worms come out through her skin and urine. VII. Chronic Illness and Medical Journey Kim shared her experience with chronic illness, including being diagnosed with Lyme disease, which she described as creating a "mirror" that masks other health issues like mold, parasites, and heavy metals from the immune system. She explained how medical professionals often dismissed her concerns about unusual tissue findings during surgeries, attributing them to normal inflammation or scar tissue. Kim ultimately chose to surrender her medical license to avoid the constraints of conventional medical practice and pursue alternative approaches to healing. VIII. Heavy Metal Detox and Health Kim explained how heavy metals enter the body through food, pharmaceuticals, dental work, and contaminated water, emphasizing the importance of natural remedies like cilantro for detoxification. She discussed how Candida overgrowth can be managed with herbs like Oregon grapefruit and Usnea to prevent sugar cravings and systemic issues. Kim also highlighted the dangers of tap water, which may contain nematodes, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals, recommending against drinking tap water and suggesting water testing as a preventive measure. IX. Parasite Cleansing and Health Effects Kim explained that parasites are widespread, estimating that approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide have parasites, though official statistics only show 60 million cases in the US. She discussed how parasites can affect health conditions like MS and how she developed her own parasite cleansing kits after working in medical research. When Nate asked about criticism from scientists calling parasite cleansing pseudoscience, Kim defended her approach, stating that wormwood has been scientifically proven to eliminate parasites and that many people she has tested have confirmed parasite presence. X. Parasite Treatment and Compliance Goals Kim discussed her experience with parasites and their connection to mental health, particularly during full moons. She explained her Purify kit, which includes three tinctures and a binder taken daily, along with additional products like a lymph kit. Kim mentioned their goal to achieve FDA compliance within two months to allow store distribution, and shared her belief that Lyme disease affects brain function, potentially making people more susceptible to certain influences.

León acaba de reabrir uno de los conjuntos monumentales más fascinantes de la Edad Media europea, y en Días Extraños hemos cruzado sus puertas para contártelo. Ocho años de obras, 3.000 metros cuadrados y más de 500 piezas que esconden algunos de los enigmas más sugerentes del patrimonio español: una cajita vikinga del siglo X —la única conservada en la Península—, un gallo persa del siglo VII que coronó la torre durante siglos sin que nadie supiera de dónde venía, marcas de cantero todavía sin descifrar, una biblia mozárabe con anotaciones en árabe, y la llamada Capilla Sixtina del Románico, donde un misterioso San Marcial sostiene un cuenco idéntico al cáliz que también se guarda allí: el Grial de Doña Urraca, una pieza con dos documentos egipcios que la vinculan al Santo Sepulcro y a la propia última cena. Francisco Contreras nos lleva hasta el Museo Panteón Real de San Isidoro y, junto a Raquel Jaén —doctora en Historia del Arte y directora del museo—, recorremos joyas, leyendas y la figura silenciada de Urraca I, la primera mujer que reinó por derecho propio en Europa Occidental, de cuya muerte se cumplen ahora 900 años. Un viaje a la España mágica donde, como siempre, lo importante no es lo que ves, sino cómo lo ves. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Dr. Joy Kong is a stem cell therapy specialist and anti-aging expert who founded Chara Health, a regenerative medicine and advanced aesthetics clinic helping people extend their health-span and lifespan. Learn more at https://chara-health.com Check out Joy's YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@joykongmd EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: I. Joy's Background and Peptide Discussion Nate and Joy discussed Joy's background, including her 27 years in Los Angeles since attending UCLA in 1999, and her earlier time in China, San Francisco, and Minnesota. They briefly touched on President Trump's visit to China and discussed local issues in Los Angeles, including homelessness. The conversation then shifted to peptides and stem cell therapy. II. Peptide Therapy and Longevity Discussion Nate and Joy discussed various peptides, focusing on Epitalon and its benefits for telomere protection and longevity. Joy explained that Epitalon can help extend telomeres, protecting DNA and potentially reducing age-related diseases. They also touched on MOTS-C's potential role in cancer prevention and its use in conjunction with stem cell therapy. Joy emphasized the importance of combining peptides with stem cell therapy for optimal results, highlighting the effectiveness of this approach in her clinic. III. Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy Joy explained Chara Health's focus on regenerative therapy using stem cells, particularly emphasizing the benefits of using younger umbilical cord-derived stem cells over older fat or bone marrow derived stem cells. Joy cited research showing that umbilical cord stem cells are more effective and have lower cancer risk compared to fat-derived stem cells, as demonstrated in studies involving glioblastoma tumors. IV. Stem Cell Treatment Overview Joy explained how stem cells are sourced from umbilical cords and placentas, which are typically discarded but can now be harvested through procurement companies. She described treating patients with various conditions including musculoskeletal issues, chronic diseases, and neurological disorders through different delivery methods such as IV, direct injection, and intranasal routes. Joy shared a remarkable case of a patient with liver cirrhosis who was near death but experienced significant improvement after receiving stem cell treatment, with his liver function returning to normal. V. Stem Cell Treatment Protocols Joy explained that stem cells used in treatments are the same type regardless of the condition being treated, though different cell combinations are used depending on the clinic and specific product. She described her unique combination of cells from umbilical cord blood, cord tissue, and amniotic membrane, which includes mesenchymal stem cells, immune cells, and endothelial progenitor cells. Joy also discussed her use of peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 in her treatment protocol, with additional peptides prescribed based on specific patient needs such as autoimmune issues or infections. VI. Stem Cell Therapy Discussion Nate and Joy discussed stem cell therapy, including its legal status in the United States and its effectiveness in treating conditions like dementia and Parkinson's disease. Joy explained that stem cell therapy is legal if cells are not grown or altered outside the body, and she shared specific cases where patients showed improvements in memory and personality after treatment. They also talked about Joy's memoir, social media presence, and her experience as an egg donor. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about business and international relations. VII. Quick Recap Nate interviewed Dr. Joy Kong, a stem cell therapist and peptide specialist based in Los Angeles, about her work at Chara Health and her approach to regenerative medicine. Dr. Kong discussed her use of umbilical cord-derived stem cells, explaining that they are superior to fat-derived stem cells due to their younger age and better healing potential. She shared remarkable patient success stories, including a case of a liver cirrhosis patient who was near death and showed significant improvement after stem cell treatment. The conversation covered Dr. Kong's peptide therapy protocols, including her use of Epitalon for telomere protection, BPC-157 and TB-500 for musculoskeletal issues, and various other peptides for specific conditions. They also discussed Dr. Kong's social media presence and her memoir about overcoming challenges in her early life. The interview concluded with Dr. Kong recommending Tesamorelin and GLP-1 peptides as underrated options in her practice.

Ilvy Njiokiktjien is a Dutch photojournalist, filmmaker, podcast host and educator who has been creating and sharing stories for almost two decades. She is based in Utrecht, the Netherlands and is a contributing photographer to VII Foundation. Ilvy is committed to documenting the social and political issues that shape our world. Her work is characterized by a sensitive eye and a compassionate and personal relationship with her subjects. For nearly 2 decades, she chronicled South Africa's first post-apartheid generation. Ilvy became intrigued by these young adults and portrayed them in her own, personal and intimate style. “Equality is there on paper, but a majority of young people believes white South Africans still have better chances, as the legacy of centuries of inequality is still there.” The result is the project Born Free – Mandela's Generation of Hope, which sparked a documentary, an interactive website, a book, feature articles, and a traveling exhibition. Her work with Ukraine's LGBTQ community in March 2022 tells the tale of people's loves and fears – and their resolve in the face of Russian aggression. Ilvy's latest project on co-housing follows people who opt to live in non-traditional groups or who welcome extended family members into a shared home. Ilvy was the first woman to win the Dutch Silver Camera Award for photographer of the year and was named the first ever Photographer Laureate of the Netherlands in 2013. In addition to numerous awards from international organizations such as World Press Photo and POYi, Ilvy's images have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, The Guardian, Stern, Der Spiegel, TIME, and other major outlets. She has exhibited at Visa pour l'Image in France, New York's Photoville, and museums and festivals around the world. On episode 281, Ilvy discusses, among other things: Her foray into podcasting for Canon The pattern of her work life How things have changed since she started Collaboration and the importance of writing and interviews Approach to personal long-term projects Her current project about ‘receiving states' Her approach to research Why it's good to reinvent yourself Using a simple Google search to generate ideas Her project in South Africa, Born Free Why she got kicked out of her internship on The Star newspaper Her interest in ‘interactive long reads' and the book she made with one of her subjects The perils and advantages of social media Her family history project and the joint exhibition that came of it The tendency for younger documentary photographers to be introspective and why that might be Her foray into podcasting - asking her fellow VII photographers four questions The importance of failure Her 'dream story' Referenced: Carl De Keyser Matt Black Sara Terry Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £5 per month.

The Fire That Remains Life in the Spirit After the Collapse of the Religious Self Week IV — The Heart That Bears the World Love, Intercession, and the Hidden Life in the Spirit ⸻ Opening Invocation O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, Come and dwell in us, Cleanse us from every impurity, And save our souls, O Good One. ⸻ I. The Return — But Nothing Is the Same At the beginning, the Spirit leads a man inward. Into exposure. Into poverty. Into silence. And it can seem as though the path is one of withdrawal. A leaving behind. A diminishing. But this is not the end. Because the same Spirit who leads a man into the desert of his own heart leads him back again. 1 Not outward in the old way. Not into activity rooted in self. But into a different kind of presence. The man returns to the world. But he does not return as he was. ⸻ II. The End of Living for Oneself Something has been broken. Quietly. Deeply. The constant reference to self. The need to interpret everything in relation to oneself. The subtle movement of: How does this affect me? What does this mean for me? Where do I stand? These begin to loosen. And with this a space opens. A freedom. Where others can begin to exist without being filtered through the self. This is the beginning of love. Not as an emotion. 2 Not as an effort. But as a way of being. “Love seeketh not her own.” (1 Corinthians 13:5) And for the first time this is not an ideal. It is something that begins to happen. ⸻ III. The Heart Enlarged by the Spirit The heart changes. Not outwardly. Not visibly. But in capacity. It begins to hold more. Not by effort. But by grace. You begin to feel: The weight of others. The pain of others. The confusion of others. Not in a way that overwhelms. But in a way that includes. The boundaries of the self soften. And the heart becomes... spacious. 3 “My heart is enlarged.” (Psalm 118/119) This is not sentimentality. It is not emotionalism. It is participation. A sharing in something greater than yourself. ⸻ IV. Intercession That Is Not Chosen Prayer changes again. Not in method. But in direction. Before, you struggled to pray. Then prayer began to live within you. Now something else happens: Others begin to appear in your prayer. Not because you decide to pray for them. But because they are given to you. A face. A name. A burden. And it remains. Quietly. Persistently. 4 You carry them. Sometimes without words. Sometimes without understanding. And this is intercession. Not as an activity. But as a participation in the love of Christ. “I could wish that myself were accursed for my brethren...” (Romans 9:3) A love that does not calculate. A love that bears. ⸻ V. The Hidden Nature of This Life And yet, outwardly, very little may change. You may still live in the same place. Do the same tasks. Speak with the same people. There is no need to appear different. No need to manifest anything. Because this life is hidden. Deep within. And this hiddenness is essential. Because the moment it becomes something seen something recognized something affirmed 5 the old self begins to stir. So the Spirit preserves this life in obscurity. In simplicity. In what appears to be ordinariness. “Your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) And this hiddenness is protection. ⸻ VI. Love Without Self-Consciousness There is a further purification. Even love becomes purified. Because at first we can become aware of loving. We notice it. We reflect on it. We take some subtle satisfaction in it. But here, even this begins to fall away. Love becomes unselfconscious. It acts without referring back to itself. It gives without knowing that it gives. It responds without constructing meaning. 6 And this is freedom. Because the self is no longer at the center even of what is good. ⸻ VII. The Bearing of Suffering As the heart expands so does its capacity to suffer. Not in a destructive way. But in a participatory way. You begin to feel more. To see more. To carry more. And yet there is no resistance. Because this suffering is no longer meaningless. It is no longer isolated. It is held within something greater. Within the life of Christ. “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) This is not something you choose. It is something you are drawn into. ⸻ 7 VIII. The Absence of Claims At this point something remarkable appears. Or rather something disappears. The need to claim anything. You no longer need to: Define your state. Explain your path. Assert your identity. Even inwardly. You do not need to know where you are. You do not need to measure. You do not need to conclude. You simply live. Before God. With others. And this simplicity is a great freedom. ⸻ IX. The Life That Becomes Prayer Everything begins to unify. Prayer is no longer separate from life. Life is no longer separate from prayer. 8 Silence speaks. Speech can remain rooted in silence. Action flows from stillness. There is less division. Less fragmentation. More wholeness. And this is not something you maintain. It is something given. Sustained quietly. By the Spirit. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) Not as an idea. But as a mystery slowly becoming real. ⸻ X. Closing Exhortation Do not seek this. Do not attempt to become this. Do not imitate what has been described. Remain faithful to what has been given to you. Remain in poverty. Remain in prayer. Remain in truth. And the Spirit will do His work. 9 Quietly. Hidden. Beyond your understanding. And what will emerge will not be something you have made. But a life. A heart. Capable of bearing others. Because it is held within Christ. ⸻ Closing Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Thou who didst bear the sins of the world in Thy Body, grant us the grace to bear one another in love. Enlarge our hearts. Purify our love. Deliver us from ourselves. And grant that, hidden in Thee, we may become a place where others are held in Thy mercy. For Thou art the Lover of mankind. Amen. 10
The Fire That Remains Life in the Spirit After the Collapse of the Religious Self Week III — When Prayer Begins to Live Itself The Emergence of the Heart in the Life of the Spirit ⸻ Opening Invocation O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, Come and dwell in us, Cleanse us from every impurity, And save our souls, O Good One. ⸻ I. After Endurance — Something Begins That You Did Not Initiate There comes a point after long endurance after remaining without clarity after refusing to rebuild when something begins. Not suddenly. Not dramatically. But unmistakably. And the first thing you realize is this: It is not coming from you. You did not produce it. 1 You did not initiate it. You cannot sustain it. It appears. Quietly. Like water beneath the surface beginning to move. This is the beginning of prayer that is no longer merely your effort. But something alive. ⸻ II. The Shift From Doing to Being Drawn Up until now, prayer has largely been something you have done. Even when it was poor. Even when it was dry. Even when it was stripped of feeling. You remained. You turned. You endured. But now something shifts. You begin to sense that prayer is no longer something you initiate. You are being drawn into it. There is a movement within. Gentle. Persistent. Not forcing. Not demanding. 2 But calling. And if you are attentive you will notice: You are not holding prayer. Prayer is beginning to hold you. “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:3) Even the simplest turning of the heart is not your own. It is given. ⸻ III. The Warming of the Heart There may come a warmth. But it is not like the warmth you knew before. It is not emotional. It is not something you generate. It is subtle. Steady. Quiet. A sense of life within the heart. A softening. A gathering. Where before the heart was scattered pulled in many directions restless 3 now it begins to collect. To come together. To become one. “Humility collects the soul.” — St. Isaac the Syrian And with this gathering comes a new kind of attention. Not forced. Not strained. But natural. As though the heart has found its place. ⸻ IV. The Prayer That Continues Beneath the Surface You begin to notice something else. Prayer does not end when you stop speaking. It continues. Beneath thought. Beneath activity. Beneath distraction. There is a quiet remembrance. A presence. A turning toward God that does not require constant effort. And this can be confusing at first. 4 Because you are used to measuring prayer by what you do. By words. By attention. By duration. But now prayer is no longer confined to those moments. It begins to permeate. To underlie. To become something like breath. “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Not as a command to strive. But as a description of something that begins to happen. ⸻ V. The Guarding of the Heart But this is fragile. Very fragile. Because the old patterns are not gone. The mind still wanders. The ego still seeks to reassert itself. The world still presses in. And so a new kind of vigilance is needed. Not harsh. Not anxious. 5 But attentive. You begin to guard the heart not out of fear but out of love. You begin to notice: What disturbs this quiet? What scatters the heart again? What pulls attention outward in a way that dissipates this life? And slowly without rigidity you begin to choose differently. Not because you must. But because you do not want to lose this. “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23) This is the beginning of watchfulness. ⸻ VI. The Subtle Temptation to Possess Grace And here again a danger arises. Very subtle. You begin to recognize what is happening. You begin to value it. You begin to desire its continuation. And without realizing it you begin to try to preserve it. 6 To hold onto it. To repeat it. To secure it. And in doing so you begin to lose it. Because grace cannot be possessed. It can only be received. And received again. And again. The moment you try to make it yours it withdraws. Not as punishment. But because its nature is gift. ⸻ VII. The Deepening of Humility If you remain faithful here something deepens. Not dramatically. But steadily. A humility that is no longer forced. No longer constructed. No longer spoken about. 7 It simply is. You begin to know not as an idea but as a reality: That everything is given. That you cannot produce even the smallest movement toward God. That without Him you return immediately to dispersion. And this does not lead to despair. It leads to gratitude. And a kind of quiet reverence. “Keep thy mind in hell and despair not.” — St. Silouan the Athonite You see your poverty. And yet you are not crushed by it. Because something else is present. ⸻ VIII. The Emergence of the Heart as Person There is a further shift. Difficult to describe. But unmistakable. You begin to exist not as a collection of thoughts or reactions or roles but as a presence. 8 A person. Not defined by activity. Not defined by identity. But simply present before God. And this presence begins to extend. Into your interactions. Into your speech. Into your silence. You become less reactive. Less driven. More able to be with others without needing to assert yourself. This is not something you achieve. It is something that emerges. As the heart becomes unified. ⸻ IX. The Quiet Joy That Has No Object And there may come a joy. But it is unlike the joys you have known. It is not tied to circumstances. Not dependent on outcomes. Not even dependent on consolation. It is quiet. 9 Almost hidden. A sense of rightness. Of being where you are meant to be. Even if outwardly nothing has changed. Even if difficulties remain. Even if suffering continues. This joy does not remove suffering. It coexists with it. And transforms it from within. ⸻ X. Closing Exhortation Do not grasp at this. Do not analyze it. Do not try to secure it. Remain as you have been taught: Poor. Attentive. Open. Receive what is given. Let it come. Let it go. Let it return. Do not make it into something. 10 Do not make it into yourself. Because what is being formed here is not an experience. It is a heart. Alive in the Spirit. ⸻ Closing Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Thou who hast kindled the fire of Thy Spirit in our hearts, grant that we may not extinguish it through our grasping and our fear. Teach us to receive what Thou givest. To remain where Thou placest us. And to become what Thou art forming within us. That our hearts may live in Thee and Thou in us. Amen. 11
It is impossible to accept the holy instant without reservation unless, just for an instant, you are willing to see no past or future. ²You cannot prepare for it without placing it in the future. ³Release is given you the instant you desire it. ⁴Many have spent a lifetime in preparation, and have indeed achieved their instants of success. ⁵This course does not attempt to teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving time. ⁶You may be attempting to follow a very long road to the goal you have accepted. ⁷It is extremely difficult to reach Atonement by fighting against sin. ⁸Enormous effort is expended in the attempt to make holy what is hated and despised. ⁹Nor is a lifetime of contemplation and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from the body necessary. ¹⁰All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. ¹¹Yet the means are tedious and very time consuming, for all of them look to the future for release from a state of present unworthiness and inadequacy.5. Your way will be different, not in purpose but in means. ²A holy relationship is a means of saving time. ³One instant spent together with your brother restores the universe to both of you. ⁴You _are_ prepared. ⁵Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. ⁶It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. ⁷When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization; “I need do nothing.”6. Here is the ultimate release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time. ²You do not need this time. ³Time has been saved for you because you and your brother are together. ⁴This is the special means this course is using to save you time. ⁵You are not making use of the course if you insist on using means which have served others well, neglecting what was made for _you._ ⁶Save time for me by only this one preparation, and practice doing nothing else. ⁷“I need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. ⁸Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation.7. To do anything involves the body. ²And if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind. ³Here is the quick and open door through which you slip past centuries of effort, and escape from time. ⁴This is the way in which sin loses all attraction _right now._ ⁵For here is time denied, and past and future gone. ⁶Who needs do nothing has no need for time. ⁷To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. ⁸Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides. ⁹He will remain when you forget, and the body's activities return to occupy your conscious mind.

This is the ninth episode of our ongoing series breaking down the U.S. Constitution. This month, Roman and Elizabeth discuss Article VI and VII, which include some odds and ends like the Debts Clause, the No Religious Test Clause, and the process for ratification. But tucked into Article VI is the all-important Supremacy Clause, which states that the Constitution is the “supreme Law of the Land,” and is probably the most frequently used constitutional law in practice. Roman and Elizabeth are also joined by Dr. Alondra Nelson, a leading expert on AI. She discusses why AI is a challenge to regulate, what to think of the tug of war between the states and the federal government on the topic, and whether she's optimistic governments will figure this out.

The Fire That Remains Life in the Spirit After the Collapse of the Religious Self Week II — Remaining in the Fire Without Rebuilding the Self The Spirit as the One Who Teaches Us to Endure ⸻ Opening Invocation O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings and Giver of life, Come and dwell in us, Cleanse us from every impurity, And save our souls, O Good One. ⸻ I. After the Collapse — The More Dangerous Work Begins Last week we spoke of the fire. Of illumination. Of exposure. Of the collapse of the false life. But there is something more dangerous than never entering this fire. It is entering it and then leaving too soon. Because once a man has begun to see once the structures begin to loosen once the illusions begin to fall there arises an almost irresistible need: 1 To stabilize. To regain footing. To become something again. Even if that “something” is humbler. Even if it is quieter. Even if it uses the language of repentance. The self does not disappear easily. It adapts. It reforms. It survives even inside what appears to be its own death. And so the second work of the Spirit is not simply to expose. It is to keep a man in the place where exposure continues. ⸻ II. The Subtle Rebuilding of the Religious Self You will begin to notice this almost immediately. A thought arises: “I understand now.” “I see more clearly.” “I am different than I was.” And these thoughts feel true. They feel justified. They feel like the fruit of grace. 2 But hidden within them is the beginning of reconstruction. Because the ego does not need grand illusions. It can build itself out of something very small. Even the awareness of one's own brokenness. Even the language of humility. You begin to identify yourself as: The one who sees The one who has suffered The one who is being purified The one who understands the deeper life And without realizing it you have become something again. Subtler. More refined. But still centered in yourself. “Do not trust in your own righteousness.” — cf. Luke 18:9 The Pharisee was not condemned for sin. He was condemned because he became something in his own eyes. And this is the danger now. ⸻ III. The Spirit Leads Into a Place With No Ground The Spirit does something that feels unbearable. 3 He removes not only falsehood but also the ground beneath your feet. You cannot rely on what you once knew. You cannot return to previous ways of praying. You cannot even take comfort in what seems like progress. Everything becomes unstable. And this is not confusion. It is purification. Because as long as a man has ground he stands on himself. Even if that ground is spiritual. Even if it is noble. Even if it is built on real experiences. The Spirit removes this. So that a man learns something new: To stand without standing. To remain without possessing. To live without securing himself. ⸻ IV. The Poverty of Not Knowing There is a kind of darkness here. 4 Not the darkness of sin. But the darkness of not knowing. You no longer know: Where you are. What is happening. Who you are becoming. You cannot interpret your life. You cannot explain your interior state. And the mind resists this violently. Because the mind wants clarity. It wants to define. It wants to grasp. But the Spirit teaches a man to let go of knowing. “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 45/46) Not: Understand and know. Explain and know. Analyze and know. Be still. And this stillness feels like death to the mind. Because the mind loses its authority. ⸻ 5 V. The Prayer That Remains When Everything Else Falls At this stage, prayer changes. It becomes poorer. Simpler. More fragile. You may find that you cannot pray as before. Words feel empty. Thoughts feel forced. Even spiritual reading feels distant. And what remains? Often only this: A cry. Or even less than a cry. A turning. A presence. The Jesus Prayer begins to take on a different character. Not as something you do. But as something you cling to when everything else has fallen away. “Prayer is the refuge of help... a haven that rescues from the tempest.” — St. Isaac the Syrian Not a method. Not a discipline. But a lifeline. 6 And even this may feel dry. And still you remain. ⸻ VI. The Temptation to Interpret the Process One of the greatest dangers here is the need to interpret what is happening. To name it. To define it. To place it within a framework. You begin to say: “This is purification.” “This is the dark night.” “This is growth.” And while these things may not be false they become a way of regaining control. Because once something is named it is contained. And the Spirit resists this containment. He leads a man into something that cannot be mastered. Cannot be reduced. Cannot be explained. Because the goal is not understanding. It is transformation. 7 And transformation often happens in a way that the mind cannot follow. ⸻ VII. The Hidden Work of Endurance What, then, is required? Very little. And everything. Not effort in the way we understand it. But endurance. To remain in prayer even when it feels empty. To remain turned toward God even when nothing is felt. To remain in truth even when it exposes you again and again. This is not passive. It is a quiet, fierce consent. A willingness to be worked upon. A refusal to flee. “In your patience possess your souls.” (Luke 21:19) The fathers speak of this as long-suffering. But we often misunderstand this. It is not merely enduring hardship. It is enduring the work of God within us. 8 ⸻ VIII. The Fear of Losing Everything At some point, a deeper fear emerges. Not just the fear of being seen. But the fear of losing everything. Your sense of self. Your sense of direction. Even your sense of God. Because God Himself may seem hidden. Silent. Distant. And this is where many turn back. Not into sin. But into something safer. Something more defined. Something more manageable. But the Spirit leads further. Into a place where even God is not grasped. But only trusted. “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68) Not: Lord, I understand. Lord, I feel. Lord, I possess. 9 But: To whom shall we go? There is nowhere else. So we remain. ⸻ IX. The Beginning of True Freedom And slowly, something begins to change. Not dramatically. Not in a way that can be grasped. But subtly. The need to define begins to loosen. The need to possess begins to fade. The need to be something begins to weaken. And a different kind of freedom appears. Not the freedom to act. But the freedom not to construct yourself. A quietness. A simplicity. A lightness. You begin to exist without constantly referring back to yourself. And this is the beginning of life in the Spirit. 10 Not power. Not experience. But freedom from the tyranny of self. ⸻ X. Closing Exhortation Do not flee this place. Do not rush to understand. Do not rebuild what is being taken from you. Remain. Even when you do not know how to remain. Even when prayer feels empty. Even when God feels distant. Remain. Because the Spirit is not absent. He is working more deeply than you can perceive. And what He is forming in you cannot be formed in any other way. ⸻ 11 Closing Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Thou who didst endure the silence of the Cross, grant us the grace to endure the silence within our own hearts. Teach us to remain when all else falls away. Deliver us from the need to grasp, to define, to become something. And grant that, in losing ourselves, we may find our life hidden in Thee. Amen. 12
