My attempt to explain how the metaphysics of the universe works using speculative philosophy and physics. I use the philosophy of idealism, consciousness primary, along with support from modern physicists who support this argument. I propose that the basis of the universe is non-dual monistic idealism. Using the Buddhist metaphysics of an unconditioned basis of being (infinite space-time & potential) we see how monistic idealism plays out in the non-random rules, structure, and repeating patterns of a manifested & conditioned universe. I also propose that the unconditioned basis-of-being is the G旦del "X" (unrecognized complexity) factor that explains the existence of the manifested conditioned universe per his ontological proof. Idealism can also explain the structural theodicy and suffering of the manifested universe, it is not a problem of evil but of ruthlessness for a purpose. Idealism also refutes a personal conditioned theistic God as Absolute or Ultimate, but does not refute (allows) spiritual power and meaning in the world. I include my Neoplatonic-like cosmological proof of God as the unconditioned basis of being, a terminal ontological ground-state (as brute fact), as being a non-theistic source of the universe. It is a long pptx, but it is a big subject.
Dropbox allows the use of PowerPoint for the web where the slides and animations works: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/g7ubfflicp2daqj8k52yl/How-the-Universe-Works.pptx?rlkey=e27bt96av3elx9aiyxiv9ekz5&st=vasftnm0&dl=0
What are the most effective spiritual healing techniques for reducing stress_...Worldfamouspsychicreader

Our fast-paced world has made stress an unavoidable part of life. From work pressure to personal responsibilities, the constant demands of daily life can take a toll on mental and physical well-being.
Todays message completes the final third of Peters sermon at Pentecost. We will discuss the meaning of repentance, take an important side journey into the non-negotiables of our Christian faith, talk about where and how baptism fits into our faith, and celebrate the inauguration of the Church Age as the Holy Spirit makes His grand entrance!

AshtSaga - Part 1 (A book by Hrishitva Patel)Hrishitva patel
油
An ancient legend prophecy states that with the revival of the Asura God, Kalyuga would mark the end of the world as we know of today. The prophecy further says that if the decedents of the eight individuals who sealed the Asura Kalyuga, in the era of Satyuga were to reunite, then these eight would be able to defeat Kalyuga and stop the world from ending. Now, its the job of the young prince of Itrahd, Arjuna, to find all these eight based on his information. He is clueless as the ancestors of the eight decendents who used to work in his forefathers court were in Satyuga, and it has been millions of years since then. Although it doesnt go as smoothly as he had planned, he manages to stumble upon a list of distinct individuals left to him as an heirloom by his father, Kanishka. This book focuses on ten of these individuals mentioned in the list. Set on the planet Terra, where the tectonic plates are yet to drift and everyone coexists within a single continent, AshtaSaga follows the journey of a prince Arjuna. He belongs to the royal lineage, and his destiny cannot be averted. No matter how disciplined he is in offering water from a brass lota accompanied by the pradakshinas around the Peepal tree to please his purwajas. Bearing this heavy responsibility because of his bloodline and how everything unfolds is a burden the royalty cannot share since the time of Satyuga. A fast approaching end to the seemingly everlasting era of Kalyuga shackles the prince and hastens his search. Will he be able to stop the world from ending? Will the utopia become a reality, or will it melt into eternal darkness?
Shalom everyone , i will sharing the word of god with you all
This presentation focuses on the spiritual battles we face in life and how, through faith, prayer, and obedience to God, we can emerge victorious. Drawing from powerful biblical stories like Cain and Abel, and examples such as Esther, the presentation explores key Christian lessons on trusting in Gods plan.
The core message revolves around three key actions:
Putting on the Armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6, to spiritually equip ourselves for lifes challenges.
Trusting in Gods plan, knowing that He works all things for our good.
Continuing in prayer as a means to maintain connection with God and seek His guidance.
With personal anecdotes, scripture references, and a powerful conclusion reminding the audience that the battle belongs to the Lord, the presentation emphasizes that victory is assured when we align ourselves with Gods power.
The visuals guide the audience through the journeystarting from the spiritual warfare we face, through biblical examples of triumph, to the ultimate victory in Christ. Through these lessons, the audience is encouraged to strengthen their faith and trust in God to fight their battles.
In Acts 2:22-36 Peter concludes his sermon on Pentecost Sunday. This is the sermon that launched the Church. We find that the Peter who once shrank back and even denied Jesus is now confident, bold and impassioned. Peter lays out three proofs of Jesus Good News, the Gospel. He does so through citing eyewitness testimony of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and by citing prophetic texts that were fulfilled by Jesus. He shows us that the Gospel of Jesus is a proven fact!
