(Auckland Insight Meditation) Exploring Greg Kramer's time-based categories of over-arching intention, episodic intention and momentary intention

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, Gullu reviews prior week's teachings on Wise Effort, including what supports initiating effort, the middle way between extremes, and the four wise efforts using the acronym PACE: (P)reventing unwholesome states from arising, (A)bandoning unwholesome states that have arisen, (C)ultivating wholesome states, and (E)xtending (sustaining) those wholesome states. He then briefly discusses the Seven Factors of Awakening (Satta Bojjhaṅgā)—mindfulness, investigation of dhammas, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity—emphasizing that energy naturally arises from Mindfulness and investigation. He concludes with a quick overview of the Four Bases of Power (Cattāro Iddhipādā): chanda, viriya, citta, and vīmaṃsā. Particular attention is given to viriya as the engine of awakening and to vīmaṃsā as the spirit of ongoing discernment and refinement in practice. NOTE: Group discussion has been removed.

What makes people trust a leader? Talent helps. Experience helps. But the leadership quality that ultimately determines your influence is integrity. In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, leadership coach and speaker Pam Pegram shares why integrity is the foundation of trustworthy leadership and how it shapes your ability to intentionally influence the people around you. Whether you lead at work, in ministry, in your community, or in your home, your character speaks louder than your title. When leaders walk in integrity, they build trust, strengthen their credibility, and create lasting impact. But when integrity is compromised, influence quickly begins to erode. Pam also explores the role of accountability in leadership, why wise leaders invite it, and how it protects both your character and your calling. If you want to lead with clarity and confidence, build trust with those you lead, and make a meaningful impact for the Kingdom, this episode will encourage and challenge you to lead with integrity. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What integrity in leadership really means Why trust is the foundation of influence The results of leading with integrity in business, ministry, and life The hidden dangers when leaders compromise their character How accountability protects integrity and strengthens leadership Practical encouragement for leaders who want to influence others for Christ Key Scriptures Proverbs 11:3 – “The integrity of the upright guides them.” Psalm 25:21 – “May integrity and uprightness protect me.” Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Key Leadership Takeaways Integrity means your values, words, and actions align. Leaders with integrity: Build trust with those they lead Strengthen their influence and credibility Lead with confidence and peace Create lasting impact in the lives of others When integrity is absent: Trust is broken Influence weakens Teams suffer Leadership credibility is damaged That's why accountability is essential for healthy leadership. Wise leaders invite trusted people into their lives who can speak truth, challenge them, and help them stay aligned with their values and faith. Reflection Question Ask yourself: If someone watched my leadership for a week, what would they learn about integrity? Integrity is not about perfection. It's about alignment between your faith, your character, and your leadership.

In the Book of Exodus, God gives His people detailed, meticulous instructions for building His temple—the place where He would dwell among His people. Hundreds of years and nine books later, the temple is finally built by none other than King Solomon. What is so important about this seemingly small fact? Listen in as we explore why it's essential to put God first, and what happens when we stray from this commitment.

Eternity is coming—and the question is, are you wise or foolish when it comes to where you will spend it? So many people don't take eternity seriously and are uncertain of their salvation. In this message, Pastor Jeff Schreve explores Jesus' parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, which serves as a powerful warning about spiritual readiness and the importance of wisdom over foolishness.

Be Wise With Your Words Proverbs 10:11–14 “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. On the lips of one who has understanding, wisdom is found… The wise lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin near.” During our Wednesday morning prayer group, someone received this word from the Lord: “Be wise with your words. Be positive, not negative. Use your words to build up and encourage, not discourage.” At the same time, someone else received today's verse. It felt clear that the Lord wanted us to reflect on the power of our words. Lent seemed like the perfect time for this. One woman in my Thursday prayer group said she is fasting from unkind words this Lent. I thought that was a beautiful idea. Often we speak without thinking. We say whatever comes to mind, sometimes believing we are helping someone by pointing out what they are doing wrong. But is it truly wrong, or simply different from what we would do? And even if correction is needed, is this the right time and place? If we slowed down and thought before speaking, this world would be a kinder place. I love how the verse says, “The babbling of a fool brings ruin near.” Ruin does not always mean something dramatic. Sometimes careless words ruin a moment, a day, or even a relationship. Our words truly carry power. As Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Because of this, we must choose our words carefully. The world already has enough harsh voices. What if we stood out because of our kindness? What if people said about us, “That person never has an unkind word to say”? As followers of Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives within us. What if we spoke to others as if we were speaking directly to Jesus? In many ways, we are. Another powerful fast we could consider is fasting from gossip—not just during Lent, but permanently. When we refuse to participate in gossip, people eventually stop bringing it to us. It may feel awkward at first, but it is possible to gently change the conversation. The world needs more kindness, less judgment, and more people willing to use their words for good. This morning I watched a video from a young adult with autism who shared how often she has been misunderstood. Because she struggles with non-verbal cues, she sometimes loses friendships without even knowing what went wrong. Her friends might imply something or give subtle signals, but she needs direct communication. It reminded me how important it is to learn how others communicate. Sometimes we take offense to someone's words when they never intended to hurt us. They may simply communicate differently. When we feel offended, it can help to pause and ask ourselves:Why do I feel offended? What might the other person be experiencing right now? Communication is a two-way street. Both people share responsibility for speaking with kindness and seeking understanding. Recently our family learned that one of my sons has autism in addition to ADHD. This has opened my eyes to how easily misunderstandings can happen. Looking back, I realize there were many moments when clearer words or different phrasing might have helped him understand better. You may not be communicating with someone who has autism or ADHD—but you might be communicating with a teenager, a quiet spouse, a struggling coworker, or someone carrying burdens you cannot see. Each person may require a different approach. Communication matters more than we often realize. Two people can say the same words but receive completely different responses because tone, body language, and attitude matter just as much as the words themselves. If we want to walk boldly with Jesus, we must pay attention to how we communicate His love. The same message can be delivered with compassion or with harshness. The difference matters. I believe the Lord is inviting us to make a sincere effort to communicate in ways that help others feel seen and understood. When we take the time to do this, people often experience the love of Jesus through us. If you ever feel misunderstood in a conversation, pause and quietly pray, “Come Holy Spirit, come.” Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words. If a conversation feels difficult, invite Him in before it even begins. He knows exactly what needs to be said. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each person listening today. Lord, help us to be wise with our words. Give us the strength to avoid gossip and unkind speech. Help us become people who build others up and represent you well in the world. Show us where we need to grow in our communication and teach us how to understand those around us. We know we cannot do this alone, but with you, all things are possible. We ask this in Jesus's holy name, Amen. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I. God is on your side, and we are both rooting for you. Have a blessed day!

Infinite Plane Radio features a live broadcast where the host and several callers explore the modern intersection of theology, the occult, and mainstream conspiracy. The discussion centers on the Overton window, suggesting that society's growing fascination with aliens has functioned as a gateway for the public to accept the existence of demons. Participants analyze various supernatural frameworks, ranging from biblical interpretations of Satan to the chaos magic theory of egregores, which are independent entities birthed from collective human thought. Callers contribute perspectives on planetary talismans, ritualized intentions in folk magic, and the potential for spiritual possession within the entertainment industry. Ultimately, the source suggests that elite power structures may utilize these supernatural narratives and symbolic archetypes to manipulate human behavior and perception through the "world stage" of media."I've been referring to the movie screen as the Overton window, as anything they show us on the screen is now within our realm of possibility." This quote reflects the host's argument that mass media is used to shift the boundaries of what society accepts as real, such as the recent mainstreaming of supernatural concepts like aliens and demons."The operant theory behind demonic manifestation from the chaos magic perspective is that the ritual itself creates the entity." This highlights a recurring theme in the sources: the idea that demons may be "thought forms" given life through focused human intention and "luche" rather than having an independent physical existence."I see lies, the power of lies or magic is actually deeply tied to the concept of worship... it actually influences your character, your behavior, your conduct." A caller uses this to explain that "worship" is fundamentally an exchange of attention and belief that can manipulate a person's behavior and morality based on the archetypes they follow."Common people believe in religion. Wise men know it's false. Leaders find it useful as a useful tool." This quote summarizes the host's skeptical view that religious institutions are often used as "weaponized superstition" to maintain a knowledge disparity and control the masses."Media was never there to inform you. Its purpose has always been to conform you." This definitive statement underscores the host's mission of "deconstructing" the world stage, suggesting that news and entertainment work together to create a simulated reality for public consumption.Would you like me to create a tailored report analyzing the specific connections the sources draw between ancient mythology and modern media "predictive programming"?

This is a quietly passionate talk by Jinapriya on the quicksilver nature of the Enlightenment experience - impossible to pin down, utterly transformative. His main theme within the frame of such a big question - 'What is Enlightenment?' - is the struggle to live our lives in the present moment, especially in the face of pain.

WHAT BENEFICIARIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INHERITED IRAS FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist About This Episode Tessa speaks with BWFA Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Larry Post about inherited IRA rules, how the 10-year distribution requirement works, and what beneficiaries need to understand before making withdrawal decisions. To better understand how inherited assets fit into your broader strategy, visit our Financial Planning page. Read Full Description Inherited IRA rules changed significantly in recent years, and many beneficiaries are still unclear about how the 10-year distribution requirement applies to them. As a result, inherited retirement accounts often create confusion at an already emotional time. While these accounts can provide financial opportunity, they also come with strict timing and tax considerations. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with BWFA Senior Tax & Planning Advisor Larry Post about how inherited IRA rules work, who qualifies as an eligible designated beneficiary, and how required distributions differ depending on the relationship to the original account owner. In particular, the conversation explains how the SECURE Act altered long-standing stretch IRA strategies and replaced them with the 10-year rule for most non-spouse beneficiaries. Instead of spreading distributions over a lifetime, many beneficiaries must now fully distribute the account within ten years. Consequently, taxable income can accelerate quickly if withdrawals are not managed carefully. For that reason, timing distributions strategically becomes essential. Larry also discusses common mistakes. For example, some beneficiaries wait too long to develop a withdrawal plan, while others misunderstand annual distribution requirements. In either case, failing to act intentionally can lead to unnecessary tax exposure and potential penalties. Additionally, the episode highlights planning considerations for surviving spouses, minor children, and certain special categories of beneficiaries. Each situation carries unique rules that can change the tax outcome. Therefore, classification matters just as much as timing. Ultimately, inherited IRA rules are not one size fits all. However, with thoughtful planning and proactive coordination, families can better manage distributions while remaining compliant with federal regulations.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the author, academic, screenwriter, creator of fantastical worlds and nocturnal roof-climber, Katherine Rundell. An award-winning non-fiction author for adults and fiction writer for children – whose books have sold over 4million copies worldwide, Rundell has penned works that span from the Impossible Creatures series – set in magical, endangered Archipelago – to Rooftoppers, about a young girl called Sophie who climbs the roofs of Paris in search of her mother, which is, one of my favourites. Because another of Rundell's great works is Why You Should Read Children's Books Even Though You Are So Old and Wise, a small yet mighty book that argues for children's fiction as integral to our reading output. A place which invites us not only to understand the fundamentals of good and evil, but reminds us of the importance of taking kids seriously, as Sophie, the protagonist in Rooftoppers, reminds us: “Do not underestimate children, do not underestimate girls.” I also highly recommend Rundell's lecture on this subject that was published in the London Review of Books last winter. A Fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford and quondam fellow of All Souls College, Oxford – where she was admitted as the youngest fellow in 2008 – Rundell is also a scholar on the 16th century poet, preacher, politician, lawyer, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral (and more) John Donne, with her electrically-written biography, Super Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne that won her the Baillie Gifford Prize. A #1 NYT and ST bestselling author, the winner of Waterstones Book of the Year, and the Author of the Year, as recognised by the British Book Awards, Rundell is one of our greatest thinkers, writers, creators, and campaigner for “putting imagination first”. And it is reading her books that I am reminded of that superpower, the brilliance of human capability that not only gets us to dream up different worlds, but imagine how we can make this complex one a much more beautiful and better place. This week marks World Book Day 2026, and excitingly the publication of my first children's book, so I couldn't be more honoured to speak with Katherine today, about writing, art, books, and more. –– KATHERINE'S BOOKS: https://www.waterstones.com/author/katherine-rundell/53343 MY CHILDREN'S BOOK! https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-story-of-art-without-men/katy-hessel/9780241824214 -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) A practical exploration of wise effort as a balanced, sustainable path: “not too tight and not too loose.” Gullu looks at the effort it takes to begin practice (and the conditions that can support and inspire that effort, including nibbidā and saṁvega), as well as how to cultivate the mind over time through the Four Wise Efforts, offered here with the acronym PACE: P — Preventing unwholesome states from arising A — Abandoning unwholesome states that have arisen C — Cultivating wholesome states E — Extending (sustaining) wholesome states

Have you ever felt like God brought you out of something… but you're still not experiencing the freedom you expected? You're no longer where you used to be. But you're not fully where you thought you'd be by now either. In this episode, we walk through the story of the Israelites in Exodus, Numbers, and Hebrews to explore the difference between understandable fear and hardened unbelief—and how that difference can quietly shape our lives. This conversation is for Christian women seeking clarity, peace, and faith-centered wisdom. If you've been feeling stuck, circling the same mountain, or hesitating at the edge of something God may be calling you into, this episode will help you pause and examine your heart with honesty and hope. God's Kindness in the Detour (Exodus 13:17) When God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, He did not lead them the shortest route to the Promised Land. Scripture tells us why: He knew they weren't ready for war. If they saw battle too soon, they would turn back. So He led them another way. What we see here: • God is protective. • Delays can be mercy. • The longer path may be preparation. Sometimes what feels like slow progress is actually kindness. God sees what would overwhelm you. He knows what you're ready to face—and what you're not. Standing at the Edge of the Promise (Numbers 13–14) About a year after leaving Egypt, the Israelites stood right outside Canaan. They had witnessed: • The plagues in Egypt • The parting of the Red Sea • God's daily provision in the wilderness And yet when they saw giants in the land, fear took over. Joshua and Caleb said, “The Lord is with us. Do not fear.” The rest of the people grumbled. They talked about returning to Egypt. They even wanted to stone their leaders. They were right there. The issue wasn't that they felt afraid. The issue was what they did with their fear. There is a difference between: “I'm scared, Lord—but I trust You.” And: “This feels dangerous. I'm going back.” That difference kept them out of the Promised Land. What Hebrews Says About Unbelief (Hebrews 3) Hebrews 3 looks back on this story and gives clarity: They were unable to enter because of unbelief. Not because they lacked evidence. Not because God hadn't shown Himself faithful. Because their hearts hardened. This is where the story becomes personal. Where have we: • Seen God's provision but still doubted? • Asked for guidance but resisted obedience? • Called something “wisdom” when it was actually fear? Fear can sound responsible. It can sound cautious. It can even sound spiritual. But when fear leads us away from trust and obedience, it becomes unbelief. Miracles Don't Automatically Produce Trust It's easy to think, “If God would just move in a big way, I'd never doubt again.” But the Israelites saw miracle after miracle—and still complained. External signs don't automatically create internal surrender. Trust is formed in daily obedience, not dramatic moments. You can witness faithfulness and still grumble. You can experience provision and still resist. The heart posture matters. A Simple Framework for God's Will (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18) Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances. This is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Notice how opposite this is from the Israelites' response. Instead of rejoicing, they complained. Instead of praying, they rebelled. Instead of giving thanks, they longed for what enslaved them. Imagine if they had said: “Lord, we're scared. But we remember what You've done. We trust You.” Fear may have remained. But rebellion would not have. Gratitude doesn't erase difficulty. It anchors your heart while you move forward. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Feeling delivered but not fully free 01:26 – Why God didn't lead Israel the shortest route 02:19 – Spying out the Promised Land 03:44 – Joshua and Caleb's response of faith 05:11 – The cost of hardened unbelief 06:06 – God's protective detours 07:35 – Hebrews 3 and the warning against hardened hearts 10:25 – Personal reflection: where might fear be guiding me? 11:25 – Why miracles don't guarantee obedience 11:54 – A simple picture of God's will 14:21 – Using this story as a mirror, not just history Key Takeaways • God's detours may be protection, not punishment. • Fear is human. Unbelief is a choice. • Being delivered doesn't mean your mindset has fully shifted. • Gratitude and prayer protect your heart from drifting. • Obedience often requires moving forward while still feeling afraid. Pause and ask yourself: Where might fear be disguising itself as wisdom in my life? What has God already shown me that I'm hesitating to trust? What would quiet, faithful obedience look like today? If You're Feeling Stuck If this episode stirred something in you, you may not need more information—you may need clarity. The More Energy & Peace Session is a private, 60-minute, faith-centered conversation where we: • Identify what may be draining your energy • Clarify what's creating frustration or indecision • Map out wise, grounded next steps No overwhelm. No complicated protocols. Just focused insight and direction. If you're ready to move forward with intention instead of circling the same questions, you can book your session at: herholistichealing.com/peace Wherever you are, don't stay stuck in indecision. Clarity creates movement. And faithful movement changes everything.

Pastor Mateo's message from James 3:13–18 contrasts earthly and heavenly wisdom, calling us to reject self-centered zeal and instead live with humble reverence for God, pursuing peace, mercy, and love as we trust that true justice and joy flow from His wisdom rather than our own.

To avoid making a foolish decision, you'll need help and God has provided help in His word. On today's podcast, I lay out a proven system of applying God's word - both instruction and promises along with doing research, applying prayer, and lots of thought. You can find these same directions at www.bobbrubaker.com under the same title. 

Message by: Scott Treadway The wisdom of Jesus is unlike the wisdom of the world that values power, glory, and wealth. The wisdom of the Kingdom of Heaven is not of this world. It is an invisible, thoughtful, creative, relationship-driven wisdom of humility, self-sacrifice, forgiveness and, above all, love. For more please visit https://www.rancho.tv/events #wearerancho

Leadership rises and falls on the decisions you make — and for many Christian women, decision-making is one of the most exhausting parts of leadership. In this episode, we turn to the book of Proverbs to uncover timeless, practical wisdom for making decisions with clarity, confidence, and spiritual steadiness — even when the pressure is high and the fear of getting it wrong feels heavy. Rather than relying on confidence alone, Proverbs teaches us how to think like a wise leader, so you can make decisions rooted in truth, discernment, and trust in God. In this episode, you'll discover: why decision-making feels so heavy for many Christian women in leadership how Proverbs reframes wisdom as posture, not perfection the difference between seeking counsel and seeking consensus how to check your motives before making a decision and how to move forward confidently after you've made a wise choice — without second-guessing yourself This episode is especially for you if you tend to overthink decisions, fear disappointing others, or replay choices long after they've been made. You'll walk away with biblical clarity, renewed confidence, and a calmer, more grounded approach to leadership decisions.

In this episode, Matty A. breaks down why artificial intelligence isn't just a tech trend — it's a systemic force reshaping markets. From warnings by leading financial figures about AI-driven instability to how rapid AI adoption could create market fragility, Matty explains the risks and signals that could precede a major economic disruption. At the same time, he shows why commercial real estate investors with a deep understanding of capital flows, credit cycles, and AI's impact on markets can position themselves to profit while others panic.What You'll Learn• The Risk Side:Leading financial voices are expressing concern that AI-driven trading, model herding, and leveraged bets could amplify market swings and structural instability.Research suggests AI-powered systems interacting with one another may make markets more fragile, potentially worsening downturns or creating rapid sell-offs.Warnings from regulators and economic surveys have highlighted that an AI investment bubble could trigger a broader financial shock under the right conditions.• The Opportunity Side:Investors who understand how AI influences credit, asset pricing, and market psychology can spot dislocations early.Smart CRE investors use disciplined underwriting, scenario planning, and risk management to protect emerging income streams and capitalize on distressed pricing while others retreat.Knowledge of AI's systemic effects gives you an edge — not by joining every trend, but by preparing for volatility and allocating capital where value persists.Key TakeawaysAI's explosion in finance and markets could introduce new vulnerabilities — not because of AI itself, but how the market adopts and amplifies it.A potential crisis doesn't happen because of a single technology — it happens when leverage, optimism, and systemic exposure collide.Savvy CRE investors aren't waiting for certainty — they're watching signals, adjusting risk, and positioning for asymmetric outcomes.Final ThoughtUnderstanding how AI shapes credit, markets, and risk isn't just academic — it's a practical advantage that can protect your wealth and reveal powerful opportunities when others are reacting emotionally.Episode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!
