The document discusses various spiritual disciplines and practices mentioned in the Bible such as loving God, humility, meditation, prayer, fasting, study, and service. It cautions against relying too heavily on spiritual disciplines and making them the focus of one's religion instead of true religion. John Wesley is quoted as saying that spiritual disciplines are good as occasional helps to human weakness but should not be considered intrinsically valuable or necessary for religion. The disciplines are defined by Dallas Willard as activities within our power that enable us to do what we cannot do by direct effort.

Motivation
Motivation can be defined as an inner drive or reason that prompts a person to act in a certain way. Successful motivation involves getting people to willingly do what is wanted, when it is wanted, and in the desired way, because they want to do it. Motivation comes through divine inspiration, a clear understanding of God's timing and purpose, faith that God rewards those who seek him, a desire to please God and achieve his vision, clear goals, a desire for recognition and reward, and modeling strong examples of faith and leadership.

M2013 s9 we ought to obey god rather than men
The early church grew rapidly through multiplication. Within a few years, the small group of 120 disciples grew to thousands and then tens of thousands of believers. This rapid growth brought adversity from religious leaders who tried to stop the spread of Christianity. However, Peter and the apostles were bold witnesses for Christ, obeying God over man. They testified that Jesus was the risen Savior through the power of the Holy Spirit. Growth requires Christians to have a positive attitude and be courageous witnesses through both their words and actions. God's kingdom will prevail regardless of any opposition.
Mind over matter
This document discusses how believers can endure suffering and tribulation by relying on the strength and comfort that God provides through Christ. It provides several Bible verses that speak of withstanding troubles through faith in God, even when outwardly afflicted, and finding renewed strength daily through looking to eternal spiritual things rather than temporary earthly troubles. The life and power of Christ lives in believers to help them overcome hardships.
Who Is The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God. Referred to as Jehovah, He possesses all the attributes of Deity. His work is vital for us: creation, revelation, salvation, guarantee, and in the kingdom. Finally, He is worthy of our worship too!

Paul came to the brothers in Corinth not with eloquent speech or wisdom, but to preach only about Jesus Christ and him crucified. He did so with weakness, fear, and trembling, relying on the power of the Spirit rather than persuasive words. His goal was for their faith to rest in the power of God rather than human wisdom.

How to Develop a Closer Walk with God
Jesus developed a close walk with God through daily spiritual disciplines of rising early to pray, seeking God before the distractions of the day, and intentionally removing himself from others to pray alone. These disciplines required determination to prioritize time with God each morning, leaving behind comfort and distractions, and developing habits of prayer and devotion.
1 Corinthians 9:19-27; 10:31-33; 11:1
The document discusses how believers can influence others for Christ by adapting to different groups while maintaining their Christian values. It references Paul's example from 1 Corinthians of becoming like different people to win them for the gospel. The key aspects are:
1) Believers should represent God and bring others to Him through their influence.
2) Paul adapted to Jews, Gentiles, weak, and others to share the gospel blessings with them, without compromising his faith.
3) Christians should do all things for God's glory, avoid causing offense, and imitate Christ and Paul by humbling themselves like servants.

Big weekend - Love
The document discusses Jesus' vision for community as presented in the Sermon on the Mount. It calls Christians to self-examination of their fruit and foundations based on Jesus' teachings, examining whether they display a loving and gracious community, and to consider whether they identify with the blessed poor or the woeful rich. It also references a dinner related to the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus distinguishes between those who acknowledge their own faults ("who me"?) and those who only fault others ("what them"?).
Multiplying Disciples 2 Timothy 2.1 7
The document discusses the concept of multiplying disciples through one-on-one ministry. It describes how Edward Kimball influenced Dwight Moody who went on to influence many other Christian leaders in a chain of discipleship. It highlights Paul's instruction to Timothy to be strong in God's grace, dedicate himself to teaching others, and be disciplined to please God. The goal is for every believer to reach one other person with the gospel so the church can reach the world in one generation through this pattern of multiplication.
The Lordship of Jesus Christ
The document discusses the lordship of Jesus Christ and what it means to acknowledge Him as Lord over different areas of life. It explains that Jesus has authority over our minds, bodies, decisions, work, and all possessions because He purchased us with His blood. To recognize His lordship means submitting our thoughts, actions, choices, and use of time and resources to His will and control. The ultimate challenge is whether we will truly surrender every aspect of life and self to Jesus as the rightful Lord.

David discipleship-Laying the Foundation
Discipleship involves learning Christ's teachings, internalizing his virtues, and acting upon them. True discipleship focuses on gaining Christ's virtues like love, justice, and righteousness, which leads to humility and dependence on God. It involves submitting to Christ's lordship to make his heart, house, and hope our own. When we do this, God causes our desire, dependents, and development to flourishly grow like a tree planted by streams of water.
Purpose driven life 3 - discipleship part 2
1. God uses unexpected tools like troubles, temptations, and choices to teach us and draw us closer to Him.
2. Temptations are designed to give us opportunities to choose obedience to God over giving in to temptation. While God does not tempt us, He can use Satan's temptations for good in our lives.
3. Staying focused on God's truths and seeking support from other believers can help us resist temptation and instead find the strength to obey God during difficult times.
A Biblical Perspective On Worry And Anxiety
The document discusses what the Bible says about worry and anxiety. It provides numerous scripture passages that instruct believers to not worry and instead trust that God will take care of their needs. It advises that worry does not help and to instead focus on God, take thoughts captive in obedience to Christ, and pray. Recognizing worry is unhelpful and putting one's trust in God through his word can help replace worry with peace.
Doubt-Proof Vest Proverbs 3:5-6
The document discusses the importance of trusting fully in God rather than relying on one's own understanding. It provides several Bible verses exhorting believers to trust in God with all their heart and seek his will. When people trust God, he directs their paths and keeps them safe. In contrast, depending on one's own wisdom is dangerous. The document encourages reading God's word to understand his will, praying for guidance, sacrificing one's will to God's, and trusting that he will answer and direct believers' paths.

Seven churches - Sardis
The letter to the church in Sardis warns that while they had a reputation of being alive spiritually, in reality they were dead. Jesus tells them to wake up, strengthen the remaining faithful, and remember and keep what they had been taught. Unless they repented from their dead works, Jesus would come in judgment upon them unexpectedly, like a thief. For the few who had remained faithful, they would be saved.
Mercenaries Or Missionaries
1. The document discusses whether Jesus' disciples should be seen as mercenaries or missionaries, focusing on their mission to spread Jesus' message rather than their own identity or interests.
2. It provides examples from military training and values to draw parallels with how disciples should conduct themselves, prioritizing honor, courage, and commitment on their mission.
3. Disciples face temptations to become like mercenaries who serve themselves rather than faithfully carrying out God's mission as missionaries who serve and represent Jesus.
06-21-20, Proverb 3;21-35 and James 3;13-18, Two Types of Wisdom
This document provides an overview of a Sunday school lesson that contrasts two types of wisdom: worldly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. It discusses passages from Proverbs and James that describe the behavior, source and consequences of worldly wisdom, which includes envy, selfish ambition and disorder. Heavenly wisdom comes from God and is characterized by purity, peacefulness, mercy and good fruits. The lesson encourages applying heavenly wisdom to life and recognizing that the ultimate source of chaos is Satan rather than human sin alone. It aims to teach believers how to discern between godly and ungodly influences through understanding the nature of wisdom.
When faith awakens
This document contains multiple Bible verses and passages from John 11, Psalms 46, Hebrews 4, and Matthew 10. It also discusses the Cimbrian Wars from 113 BC to 100 BC and includes definitions of prejudice. The passages are about God's sovereignty, Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, finding refuge in God, and Jesus sympathizing with human weaknesses.
Learning to Lean on Jesus
Paul warns Christians against those who say circumcision is necessary for salvation. He emphasizes that true circumcision and worship of God comes through faith in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, not human effort to please God through works. Paul contrasts his own past religious credentials and efforts to obey the law with faultless perfection against knowing Christ and relying on what He has done. Living by faith means trusting in God's acceptance of us, rather than trying to earn His favor through good works or spiritual disciplines. Those who focus on pleasing God through their own efforts are not worshiping in spirit and truth, but are exalting themselves, just as the Pharisee did.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
