Ep. 179 (Part 1 of 2) | In this podcast, John Prendergast, spiritual teacher, depth psychotherapist (retired), and prolific author, eloquently lays out the territory we encounter on the spiritual path as we move towards opening to our deepest ground. John defines deepest ground as “ungraspable and unfathomable, something we can know intimately as a quality of awareness, unbounded and open.” “When we touch into this,” he continues, “we move from a place of love, peace and groundedness.” In working with students and clients over four decades, John says the presence or absence of ground has been the most important theme. John has a gift for communicating exactly what is most useful for a spiritual practitioner to hear: taking an integral and nondual approach different from traditional psychotherapy, he invites us to evoke presence—welcome the experience, welcome the fear of annihilation—let go of ordinary knowledge and allow a translucent, transformative space to emerge around ordinary mind. Blending archetypal wisdom and guidance with spacious emptiness, John explains that opening to unbounded awareness supports the process of individuation and actualization; he also weaves in an intriguing version of the hero's journey, where the hero emerges from the underground, not as a figure of accomplishment and victory, but as a simple, humble being, void of ego. The rich wisdom and gentle guidance offered here is invaluable, worthy of listening to many a time. Recorded November 7, 2024.“Transcendence is a beautiful first step… but there's a very important process of embodying awareness more and more deeply, in the physical body, in the subtle body.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing John Prendergast, Ph.D., retired psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, and author, whose most recent book is Your Deepest Ground (00:57)What is our deepest ground?

In my recent silent retreat we explored the fact that nothing was happening.  All retreatants had to do was show up when the gong chimed and be quiet. Literally nothing else. Their entire day from 10am to 10pm was scheduled for them. Meals were prepared and served. Life for 6 days was unbelievably simple. And so The post EP345: Willfulness and positionality dissolve into silence appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Do you consider yourself a faithful Christian? Recently, I joined a book club and we're reading, "Faith Driven Entrepreneur" by Henry Kaestner, J.D. Greear, and Chip Ingram. Chapter 8 struck me to the core! Faithful vs. Willful. Major self-discovery during this chapter, and in this quick message today, I share parts of the chapter to help you move from willful to faithful. Willfulness is focusing on your way, your efforts, and your work, not the work of God in you. Faithfulness is doing our part, but leaving the results to God!   Verse of the week: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. – John 16:33   I challenge you to listen to this motivational message and buy the book on Amazon. Then think about the things you're trying to control and find some quiet time to pray and surrender them to God. Try to make this a daily habit to move from willfulness to faithfulness.   Connect with me at www.bossladyinsweatpants.com  Grab the Ignite Your Light journal - a prayer journal to help you stay encouraged and anchored in your faith during the different seasons of life.

Mark 4:23-25 King James Version 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Are you willful about doing things your way, even when you know what you're doing is ineffective, unhelpful, and simply not working? If you feel frustrated and are trying to change something that simply cannot be changed and you spend a lot of energy in vain - that is willfulness. Lindsey + Amber dive into the the difference between willfulness and willingness based on tenets of dialectical behavior therapy or otherwise known as DBT. Willingness is about accepting what is and responding in an effective or appropriate way. The opposite of Willingness is Willfulness: trying to control the universe and deliberately or stubbornly doing something you know isn't working. Willfulness is about digging your heels in and refusing to accept reality. Tune into this episode to learn what you can do to get out of your own way and listen to your wise mind!

I invite you to again listen to the beginning verses of our first reading in Habakkuk, as we find them in The Message translation of the Bible: The problem as God gave Habakkuk to see it: God, how long do I have to cry out for help before you listen? How many times do I have to yell, “Help! Murder! Police!”          before you come to the rescue? Why do you force me to look at evil, stare trouble in the face day after day? Anarchy and violence break out, quarrels and fights all over the place. Law and order fall to pieces. Justice is a joke. The wicked have the righteous hamstrung and stand justice on its head. When we read those verses at our Tuesday Noon Bible Study, everyone in the group felt as though the prophet Habakkuk was writing words for us in our present time and current cultural context. The truth is our present context is one in which we sometimes find ourselves feeling as though we are trying to cling to our faith. The people of Judah were trying to cling to their faith. The prophet articulates their fear and their questions as they are facing military threats from their neighbors in Babylon and Egypt. And, after articulating their cries for help, Habakkuk then urges them to be faithful to God who will in time save them.  The fact of the matter is that all of today's readings are about clinging to our faith when everything around us seems to be (pardon my expression) going to hell in a handbasket. In our New Testament reading, Timothy seems to be losing his grip as a leader of the early church. And, in our gospel reading, the disciples – those who are closest to Jesus himself – seem to be wrestling with some crisis of faith.  So, I find it hopeful that we hear these words today because they are so relevant for us in our present context. Over the past few weeks, we have heard some rather perplexing and harsh stories from Jesus.  And it is easy to read today's gospel passage and receive it as yet another harsh message of condemnation.  However, it seems to me Jesus is communicating something else.  So, listen again to the beginning of this passage with new ears.  When the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith, listen as Jesus answers the disciples with words of kindness, love, tenderness, and maybe even a bit of a smile.  Jesus replied, “Why, you do not need more faith.  Even this much faith (his thumb and forefinger pinching together) is enough!”  You see, if we hear Jesus speaking with love it totally changes our hearing of his remarks.  This passage is not really about quantity and having more faith.  It is all about understanding what faith is, what faith means, and what faith does. So, what is faith?  In his famous 1 Corinthians 13 words, Paul understood faith as one of the three greatest gifts – faith, hope and love.  In the New Testament, especially the writings of Paul, faith is often paired with love or said to work in conjunction with love. Furthermore, in Hebrews we read, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”  If we think about what faith is not, we understand that faith does not equal security, and faith is not assurance that all will go the way we want.  Faith does not mean that we are assured of going to the holy wishing well and being given exactly what we think is in our best interest. No.  Faith in God seems to really be about a kind of surrender, a kind of letting go, a kind of commitment and a conscious recognition of where we place our trust.  In his Large Catechism, Luther provides an explanation for the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before me,” and I think his words might be helpful.  He writes: A “god” is the term for that to which we are to look for all good and in which we are to find refuge in all need.  Therefore, to have a God is nothing else than to trust and believe in that one with your whole heart.  As I have often said, it is the trust and faith of the heart alone that make both God and an idol.  If your faith and trust are right, then your God is the true one.  Conversely, where your trust is false and wrong, there you do not have the true God.  For these two belong together, faith and God.  Anything on which your heart relies and depends, I say, that is really your God. (The Book of Concord, p. 386) It is so very difficult in our “do it yourself” culture to just let go and place our faith and trust in God.  I really wonder if this lack of willingness to let go, to let go of our need to control, is more often the problem than the amount of faith we might have.  When talking about this challenge, Richard Rohr writes: A common saying is, “God helps those who help themselves.”  I think that phrase can be understood wisely; but in most spiritual situations it is not completely true.  Scripture clearly says, in many ways, that God helps those who trust in God, not those who help themselves. We need to be told that very strongly because of our “do it yourself” orientation.  As educated people, as Americans, as middle-class people who have practiced climbing, we are accustomed to doing it ourselves.  It takes applying the brakes, letting go of our own plans, allowing Another, and experiencing power from a Larger Source to really move to higher awareness.  Otherwise, there is no real transformation, but only increased willpower.  As if the one with the most willpower wins! Willfulness is quite different than willingness.  They are two different energetic styles and normally yield very different fruit. The reality is we already have the faith we need.  God gives us the faith we need.  But, as Richard Rohr has said, we must show a willingness to allow God to be the one in charge, to trust in God even when this might seem so very hard, even when it seems like everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Yes, God gives us the faith we need.  However, we must be willing to actually use it, to actively live it, to allow God to use us and that is so very countercultural.  As I hope all of you are aware, we use our faith to serve God, not to earn God's love or salvation.  We use our faith to serve God through our actions and the way we live together in community for the sake of the world because that is what faith will expect of us.  As theologian, Kimberly Long, suggests, “You already have the faith you need.  Now fulfill its purpose: live it!”  And, this is where the second part of this gospel comes in. To understand faith in this way is to understand faith as a way of life.  And, it is important to remember that we do not do this alone.  We do it as we live together in community as the broken body of Christ.  I think, the issue at stake is how we live together in community.  God gives us what we need to flourish abundantly in faithful community.  As the second part of today's gospel reading suggests, in the economy of faith, we who serve depend on a benevolent master who not only expects us to obey but gives us all that is required to do so.  And, much of that comes by living together as the community of the baptized.  The Rev. Dr. Anna Madsen, in her book I Can Do No Other: The Churches Here We Stand Moment, writes about this baptized community and the life of faith.  Her words are helpful as she remembers what she learned from seminary Professor Walt Bouman. She writes: You see, as Bouman taught many of us, baptism only “works” if it is “used,” that is, if it is trusted.  Our God is that in which or in whom we trust.  Baptism initiates us into a life of trust in God, of our participation in the community God, into the risen Jesus.  The word community is key here, for baptism is not only an individual matter.  It is, of course, a promise to each individual person (we are known by name).  But baptism initiates us into the community of the baptized.  We are, in a sense, baptized into a community of trusters. (I Can Do No Other: The Churches Here We Stand Moment, p. 22) Yes, we are “baptized into a community of trusters,” the community of faith.  And, when we live together and work together as the broken body of Christ, the faith we have been given enables God to work through us and do some amazing things.  We have seen such faith at work in our own congregation as we joined other congregations to create Michigan Refugee Hope, an organization that has enabled us to provide life and hope to young refugees.  In fact, through this effort, this congregation has taken in over fifteen young refugees.  We will likely be taking in more yet this year. That is what faith does.  When Jesus speaks to us today, he is not so much talking about quantity of faith.  He is talking about what faith is and what faith does.  Faith is not stockpiled in a storehouse for the working of spiritual wonders. No.  Faith is lived out as obedience to a just, merciful and loving God.  And, as we walk together in community as the broken body of Christ, we find that the God who expects much from us also promises much and does provide all the faith we need.  God provides all that we need to live into God's call to do the work of justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.

In fighting the battle against offshore tax avoidance, the U.S. government has raised some creative arguments to establish that a taxpayer “willfully” failed to disclose foreign accounts by filing FBARs. These include the concept of “constructive knowledge,” whereby the U.S. government contends that any FBAR violation must be “willful” and thus subject to the highest possible penalty. This notion sounded absurd to many in the tax community at the outset, but it has been embraced by several courts. Not all courts have accepted the position, though, giving hope to taxpayers that merely signing a Form 1040 will not be considered tantamount to a willful FBAR violation and the large penalties that come with it. This article examines the major cases that have analyzed the “constructive knowledge” position and what they mean to taxpayers.

This time, I discuss being willing and the opposite, willfulness. This is a reminder to the original episode 19 in season 1. Grab a copy of Marsha's book! It's enlightening and you won't be sad you got the book! Practice being willing - recall that life has pain, and when we avoid it, we increase our own suffering.

Today is a Revs. Bob and Margie Show! We will be sharing and commenting on Charles Fillmore's lesson “Willfulness and Willingness,” from Sunday, August 27, 1933. Fillmore uses the story of Samuel upbraiding Saul for his actions against the Amalekites as told in 1 Samuel, Chapter 15. Fillmore's words spoken some 88 years ago still ring true today.

Dr. Peter Gray Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology at Boston College who has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education. He is author of an internationally acclaimed introductory psychology textbook (Psychology, Worth Publishers, now in its 8th edition), which views all of psychology from an evolutionary perspective. His recent research focuses on the role of play in human evolution and how children educate themselves, through play and exploration, when they are free to do so. He has expanded on these ideas in his book, Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life (Basic Books). He also authors a regular blog called Freedom to Learn, for Psychology Today magazine. He is a founding member and former president of the nonprofit Alliance for Self-Directed Education (ASDE), which is aimed at creating a world in which children's natural ways of learning are facilitated rather than suppressed. He is also a founder of the nonprofit Let Grow, the mission of which is to renew children's freedom to play and explore outdoors, independently of adults. He earned his undergraduate degree at Columbia College and Ph.D. in biological sciences at the Rockefeller University many years ago. His own current play includes kayaking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, vegetable gardening, chopping wood for his home's wood-burning stove, and writing occasional sonnets. Facebook   Show Notes Dr. Peter Gray has spent years researching how children naturally learn. He focused on play and what children are doing when they play and the function of play. He's interested in play from an evolutionary perspective, children's nature that comes about by natural selection to serve the function of education.  As Jenna was researching self directed learning, she came upon the six optimizing conditions for self directed education and found it extremely helpful in guiding her toward an environment at home that was ideal for learning.  Dr. Gray developed the six optimizing conditions for self directed learning based on what he studied at The Sudbury Valley School and through surveying ten anthropologists who had studied and lived among 7 different hunter-gatherer communities. He found many similarities between the hunter-gatherer communities and the students at Sudbury Valley School.  The first condition is the social expectation and reality that education is children's responsibility. Dr. Gray observed that children come into the world biologically designed to educate themselves. Right from the beginning, children are curious and figuring things out on their own initiative. If adults believe that children need to be forced to learn, we can talk them out of the idea that they're responsibility. We essentially send them the message that their curiosity doesn't count. The adults in the child's environment are not conveying the view that the adult is responsible for their education.  Jenna asks where does that that idea come from that adults have to educate children? Dr. Gray explains that the original purpose for education was to teach obedience. Autonomy was valued in hunter-gatherer bands, but agriculture changed all of this. An hierarchy arose by way of land ownership. This led to feudalism, whereby everyone was dependent on the land owners. It became imperative that Serf parents teach their children to obey for their own survival in this hierarchical world. The original schools were developed by Protestants in Prussia. There were three purposes for schools at that time; reading (as it was very common at that time for average day families to be literate), indoctrination (save children's souls), teach obedience. Willfulness was sinfulness. Children were meant to memorize content, otherwise they'd be punished. Nobody questioned it. Most teachers don't have this goal in today's modern world, however they are entering into a school system which was never designed for that and is incapable of promoting creativity, critical thinking and a love for learning. The only way you can pass in school  is to do what you're told to do and the only way to fail is to not do what you're told to do. So even today, the goal is still obedience. The second optimized condition for SDE is unlimited freedom to play, explore, and pursue their own interests. Kids need lots of time to do this, essentially all day. Kids from the age of about four on through late teenage years in hunter-gatherer communities had all day to play and explore. This is the same way Sudbury Valley School models their school. It allows children to exercise their nature-given gifts that are for the purpose of education. Dr. Gray recalls in his own education back in the 50's, there were far fewer hours spent in school and on homework and therefore he had time to spend playing and exploring outside the confines of a school setting, unlike how it is today. School was never a great place for learning, but it didn't occupy so much of a child's day.  Adult-directed sports, clubs, and extracurriculars are no replacement for play. It's yet another place where obedience is the primary issue. If it's self selected it's fine, but when that type of activity is occupying so much of a child's time, they are deprived of the opportunity to figure things out on their own.  In highschool, Jenna's day started at 6am, she went to school, came home in time for dinner, did homework and then went to bed. There was no time for play or creative pursuits.  Dr. Gray says we are raising a generation of sleep-deprived kids, and studies conducted during the pandemic have revealed that due to school closures, children are getting more sleep and parents and children are reporting improved moods because of it.  Jenna shares how her son is now getting 3 hours of extra sleep because he's at home learning.  The third optimizing condition for SDE is opportunity to play with tools of the culture. By play, it's meant that children get to use the tool in whichever way they choose. Children want to use tools in meaningful ways, build something, cook something, etc. In any culture, children are naturally drawn to the most important tools of their culture. Playing with those tools is how you develop mastery of the tools. In hunter-gatherer bands, parents and older kids might help facilitate this learning by making small versions of these tools. Computers are the most important tools of our culture, which is why children are drawn to them. Other tools that are important in our culture are kitchen appliances, wood tools, sports equipment, books, etc. One advantage to a self-directed learning center or school is that they might have a more diverse collection of tools in which the children can discover and use.  Jenna shares her experience as a teacher, in which she handed out scientific equipment to students and they were compelled to play with it before the actual lesson began. It was evident to her that her students weren't interested in being directed through the activity using the tools, instead they would have rather discovered its uses on their own.   Dr. Peter Gray points out that kids want to figure out how to use a tool, rather than being shown how to use it. Of course, safety and proper use of tools is important before use of dangerous or delicate tools. Jenna remembers reading in Peter Gray's book, Free To Learn about a study done on babies where researchers observed how two independent groups of babies responded to toys given to them without being shown all the ways in which you can play with it, and toys given to them where the researcher spent a great deal of time showing the baby what you can do with the toy. The babies who weren't given instruction about how the toy worked learned more about the toy and found more ways of playing with the toy. The most interesting toys are ones that have infinite ways of playing with it. Dr. Gray points out how this is akin to math instruction in school because kids are being given the way to do the math problem, which takes away the discovery and curiosity in math problems.  The fourth optimizing condition for SDE is access to a variety of caring adults who are helpers, not judges. Caring adults could be family members, friends, or mentors to the child. They are glad to help but are not evaluating or judging the child in any way. It's important because we can't be fully honest when we are being judged by others. You're not likely to present your problems to someone who is judging you. You're going to be orientated toward, what does this person want me to say and what does this person want me to do? There's an artificiality in your interaction with someone who is judging you. Adults are there to help when children ask for it. It's tough in our society since everything is measured and competitive. In a school setting, it's impossible not to evaluate or judge. Being judged is stressful, which inhibits your performance on anything you're not good at and your creativity. The ideal situation would be where the individual is the only judge of their work or performance. Children need a variety of adults to observe, so they can get a sense of what it's like to be an adult and get a broader sense of what adults are like. Children can also learn from adults with various skills and professions.  Jenna is reminded of the saying, “it takes a village to raise a child.” She jokingly tells her husband they should go live on a commune because the way our culture lives, in our individual houses sometimes isolated from family, is not conducive to how children learn.   Helpful Resources Mentioned in Today's Show Alliance for Self Directed Education Free To Learn  by Peter Gray Psychology Today   Ways to Connect Email me: contact.roguelearner@gmail.com Facebook  Instagram Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rogue-learner/id1543224038 Google Play: https://podcasts.google.com/search/rogue%20learner Spotify: https://roguelearner.libsyn.com/spotify YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdCocbWsxxAMSbUObiCQXPg Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/rogue-learner  

#335: We've stated in the past that the general concept of marriage is not that complicated, it's simply two people who are legally and spiritually bound together. However, how we define the term 'Together' is what makes marriage complicated. In a great marriage, Together means in agreement, and in harmony. Your success or failure in that regard all comes down to ‘your' WILL. WILLfulness vs. WILLingness

Her strong will led her on many adventures and into trouble. Then she heard God speak and decided to live only for him. She started mission work with poor local women and after losing the remaining money from when her father died, their family was split up and she moved to England with her mother. Amys health deteriorated and after she recovered the doctor wouldnt allow her exposure to diseases in China, where she felt called to be a missionary. But her victorious story wasnt over.

We often get ideas about the symbolism of the vajra as being tight and willful. The language of determination can do that! Jvalamalini looks at the importance of clarity of purpose for simplicity and meaning in life, and the powerful symbol of the vajra. This diamond-thunderbolt symbol is really more about integration then it is about powering through obstacles regardless of what the rest of our being is up to.

Exploring The Four Cardinal Virtues (Fragment) From our Exploring workshop, where we read through the text of this fragment of a lost play for future use towards an audio/stage show. This play is probably related in some way with another fragmentary play called Temperance and Humility (workshop audio already available on this podcast) and we're playing around with how to make these pieces come alive for people today. This fragment is from the end of the play, where Willfulness is cast away, and Fortitude, who has gone by many names, repents his past and joins the other cardinal virtues.  The Beyond Shakespeare Irregulars this episode are Richard Fawcett, Alan Scott, Liz Cole, Mark Scanlon and Mark Saberton.

A new U.S. District court case has zeroed in on the definition of “willful” for purposes of applying the more serious penalties for failure to file tan FBAR. In U.S. v. Garrity, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56888 (D. Conn. 2018), the United States District Court of Connecticut dealt taxpayers with undisclosed foreign accounts a hard blow. In advancing to the next stage of trial, the court said that the IRS could prove the elements of its FBAR penalty claim by a mere preponderance of the evidence. What's more, the IRS can carry its burden to prove willfulness by showing reckless conduct by the taxpayer, as opposed to the more stringent "intentional violation" standard required in the criminal context. In this podcast, I discuss the Garrity case and what it means for taxpayers with unreported foreign accounts. I also provide some background about the FBAR requirement and get into a robust discussion about the term, "willfulness" and willful blindness.
