The document discusses evangelism in a pluralistic society. It argues that Christians should practice civil discourse by acknowledging cultural sensitivities, becoming friends with those of other beliefs, openly sharing spiritual experiences, finding connections to the gospel, and asking about openness to learn more while relying on scripture. Civil discourse means respectful discussion of religious beliefs rather than having no beliefs. Most non-Western cultures respect deep personal convictions. The evangelical approach involves acknowledging religious truth claims and that other religions have wisdom while still sharing the gospel message.

Answering the challenges of ultra traditionalismRyan Mejillano
This document discusses various levels of traditional Catholicism and ultra-traditionalism. It begins by defining traditionalism as favoring pre-Vatican II customs and the traditional Latin mass. Ultra-traditionalism is defined as opposing Vatican II reforms more strongly. Several traditionalist groups recognized by the Vatican are mentioned, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. Groups viewed irregularly include sedevacantists who reject recent popes' authority, and conclavists who elect their own popes. Two conclavist groups discussed are the Palmarian Catholic Church and the "True Catholic Church" of Lucian Pulvermacher.

Archbishop Cordileone created this position to provide additional support to priests in their first five years after ordination, which research shows is a critical time. Father Howell will work part-time in this role, mentoring new priests, while also serving as the new pastor of St. Philip the Apostle Parish in Noe Valley. The archdiocese already provides ongoing formation and each new priest chooses a personal mentor, but this additional role is meant to formally support the archbishop's relationship with and guidance of new priests.

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.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
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.
