Paul and Evelyn were walking home from school when a blizzard blew in. Evelyn became too tired to continue and wanted to rest in the snow. Paul knew this would be dangerous, as they could be covered by snow. While they were stopped, not knowing what to do, their father appeared through the snow, having been sent by their mother to find them. He carried Evelyn and led Paul home, breaking the strong wind for him. The story highlights the love and sacrifice of families for each other.

In Social Studies class, it's time to talk about "current events" from the newspaper. Three members of the Millionaire Kids Club - Isaiah, Sandy and Dennis - have agreed on a topic. They want to explain why so many homes in the community have "For Sale" signs. But their buddy, Stephanie, doesn't want to talk about this subject. After all, her family may have to sell their home too - and that has Stephanie terribly upset. Stephanie's dad has lost his job and can't pay for their home anymore. So will Stephanie's family be able to save their house? Or will they have to move out, and will Stephanie have to leave the neighborhood and her closest friends?

More than three decades ago, a family left their home in Salt Lake City and began the adventure of a lifetime that changed their world then and still continues even now.

The narrator recalls being shocked and crying for hours upon learning as a child that Santa Claus was not real after their older brother told them and their parents admitted it. They felt better understanding that Santa was based on real people from long ago, such as a 4th century bishop from Turkey known as Saint Nicholas who gave gifts to the poor, and an old man from winter traditions who represented the season. Nowadays, Santa Claus is associated with Christmas shopping, but some places have adopted Zenta Claus instead, who sits meditating on consumerism and encouraging people to buy only what they need.

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.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
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).
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.

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.
