Bible Lessons For Youth - Never Give Up
The document describes the story of Beth Anne DeCiantis's attempt to qualify for the 1992 Olympic marathon trials. With just two minutes left in the 27-mile race, she stumbled and fell at the 23 mile mark but got up and continued crawling to finish in 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 57 seconds, just qualifying for the trials. The document then references Hebrews 12:1 about running life's race with perseverance and never giving up, like Beth Anne did in finishing the marathon.
Youth Devotional - Downhill From Here
1) Jean-Claude Killy was a French ski champion in the 1960s who trained vigorously every day through running up mountains with his skis and weight training to be in peak physical condition.
2) While other members of the ski team worked just as hard through conditioning, it was Killy's change in style by skiing with his legs apart, sitting back on turns, and using his poles to propel himself that set him apart and led to faster times.
3) Killy's unorthodox style went on to win him three gold medals at the 1966 Winter Olympics and became the new norm, while other styles would now be considered odd.
Bible Lessons For Youth - Training for the Race
The document discusses Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps' victories at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he won 8 gold medals. It notes that Phelps trained every day for 4.5 hours a day for 4 years leading up to the Olympics. In one race, the 200-meter butterfly, his goggles filled with water in the last 50 meters so he couldn't see the wall, but he still won and broke the world record. The document uses Phelps' success and discipline as an example for Christians to focus on daily spiritual disciplines and incremental goals to ultimately achieve victory, even when circumstances seem against them.
Youth Devotional - Training for the Race
The document discusses Michael Phelps' record-breaking performance at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where he won 8 gold medals. It describes how during one race, his goggles filled with water so he couldn't see the wall, but he still won and broke the world record by counting his strokes. The document uses Phelps' training discipline and achieving goals through small benchmarks as an analogy for Christians pursuing their spiritual goals through daily disciplines and incremental progress despite facing obstacles.
Devotional life
This document discusses the importance of developing a daily devotional life centered around spending time with God through prayer and reading the Bible. It recommends starting the day with devotionals to invite God into your day and make Him your top priority. Specific tips provided include reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs daily and writing down what God is speaking, promising, commanding, warning, and applying to your life. Benefits mentioned are that your life, attitude, and direction will be positively changed as God transforms you through His Word.
Youth Devotional - Running for the Gold
The Bible says that we also compete, not for a medal, not for a temporary crown of olive leaves, not for honor and personal glory but for a crown that lasts forever.
Bible Lessons For Youth - Downhill From Here
Jean-Claude Killy was a French ski champion in the 1960s who was determined to be the best. Through rigorous training and experimenting with his technique, he developed an unconventional style where he kept his legs farther apart and sat back in his turns rather than leaning forward. When he won gold medals at the 1966 and 1967 Winter Olympics using this new style, it gained acceptance worldwide and became the norm, though it was originally considered odd. The document suggests that similarly, Christians should not simply conform to worldly standards but should experiment to develop their own distinctive godly lifestyle, and though it may seem unusual, it could help lead others to faith.

Bible Lessons For Youth - Broken Down Car Race
The document describes a relay race activity called the "broken-car relay" for youth groups. It involves dividing children into teams where they pretend their car has a problem like a stuck horn or non-stopping windshield wipers as they run from the starting line to a turnaround point and back. The first team to complete races acting out different car problems wins. The purpose is to illustrate how Christians need to "tune up" their lives to be effective for God, as their faith is like a race where problems can prevent them from reaching their potential.

Youth Devotional - Spectator Sport?
Christianity should not be a spectator sport, but rather something we actively participate in. God calls us all to get involved in living out our faith on the "field" by playing the positions he assigns us, rather than sitting on the sidelines. While we will make mistakes, God gives us grace, and the goal is to press on toward what God has called us to, rather than dwelling on past failures. The document promotes two youth programs - "Go for the Gold", which uses the Olympic rings as a metaphor to teach concepts like salvation, and "Destined to Win", which uses the metaphor of running a race to teach about the Christian life.

It also provides variations on mini Olympic games that emphasize dexterity over size, teaching that one can help others through pointing them to God's strength.
Gary Vaynerchuk talks about Content & Social Media
Great talk and Q&A from Gary Vaynerchuk at National Achiever's Congress 2019 in Singapore... Lots of takeaways but these are powerful: "Eliminate friction between your message and your customer" and "The INTENT of content is the VARIABLE of Success." So does your message create friction? What is the intent of your content? Are you real and adding value or is your content just an "ask" wrapped in content?

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.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.

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 Power of Actions Slideshow by: Kal-el
This message, “The Power of Actions”, emphasizes just how powerful moving actions are and gives us strong actions of advice as to how we use to do with actions.
ACTIONS is EVERYTHING! They bless or they curse, lift up or known down,
embrace it or unbrace it!
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
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.
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).

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.
