The document discusses Jesus' teachings on being the salt of the earth and the light of the world from Matthew 5:13-16. It provides background on salt and light, explaining that salt preserves, seasons, seals covenants, purifies and creates thirst, while light exposes darkness, expels darkness, and establishes direction. If salt loses its saltiness or light is hidden, they become useless. Christians are called to influence the world by reflecting Christ's qualities and bringing glory to God.
The document provides background information on the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, including:
- It summarizes the historical events covered in Ezra and Nehemiah from the Israelites' return from Babylon under Cyrus to the consolidation of Israel under Persian rule.
- It outlines the key figures like Cyrus, Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Ezra, Nehemiah and the Persian kings who ruled over Israel and their relationship to the events.

Micah was a prophet in Israel and Judah during the 8th century BC who warned of coming judgment for their sins. He foretold destruction of both kingdoms but also spoke of future restoration and salvation. The book of Micah addresses the sins of covetousness, injustice among leaders, and misplaced trust while also pointing to a future ruler from Bethlehem and emphasizing God's righteousness, mercy and sovereignty. Micah stressed that true service to God requires acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.
The document discusses the symbolism and spiritual significance of the Tabernacle that God commanded Moses to build for the Israelites. The Tabernacle foreshadowed Jesus Christ and the process of redemption. It represented that through sacrifice, washing, and the mediation of a high priest, sinful people could have fellowship with a holy God. Each element of the Tabernacle, such as the altar, lampstand, and veil pointing to Jesus, signifies aspects of his redemptive work that allow believers to enter God's presence.

The document discusses how carrying an "orphan spirit" can prevent us from seeing our future and destiny according to God's vision. It says an orphan spirit gives a sense of abandonment, lack of hope, and living only to meet needs in the present. But through the Holy Spirit living in us, we are not orphans, and can see with "eyes of our heart" what God has freely given. Breaking from an orphan mindset allows us to imagine the Father's vision as His children rather than feeling like beggars.

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.

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.
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.

• First recorded separation was by the German Lutheran
theologian Bernhard Lauardus Duhm (October 10, 1847
– November 1, 1928) in his 1892 commentary on Isaiah
• Different writing style, standing out in both form and content
• Songs 1 and 4 are in 3rd person (he, him, his) and both start
with same introductory formula “Behold*,+ my servant”
• Songs 2 and 3 are in 1st person (I, me, my) and both
acknowledge “the Lord” or “the Lord God”

11. The importance of being a servant
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Q. How can we exhibit this mind?
A. By referring to places like Isaiah’s Songs!
16th February 2012 The Servant Songs of Isaiah - Introduction / Background 11
12. The importance of being a servant
• Jesus refers to a scale for service:
42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are
accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones
exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be
your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to
give his life a ransom for many.

quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be
discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for
his law. [5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh
out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them
that walk therein: 6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold

mention of my name. 2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in
the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his
quiver hath he hid me; 3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in
whom I will be glorified. 4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my
strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and
my work with my God. 5 And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the
womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not
gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be
my strength. 6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I
will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation

hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 6 I
gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair:
I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 7 For the Lord God will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 8 He is near that justifieth me; who
will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him
come near to me. 9 Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 14 As many were
astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 15 So shall
he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they
see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. 53v1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the
arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he
hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is
despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he
hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his
days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be
satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore
will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out
his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.
