Me, "Girlfriend that is Dean Winchester."

Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY
Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore. -

AI: A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE #TRUTH 💎#People keep talking about Artificial Intelligence as though one enormous mind is slowly waking up inside the machinery.
It is not.
There is no single intelligence sitting behind your #screen.
No central #being.
No #secret mechanical person gradually becoming conscious of itself and preparing to take over the #world.
There are many different #systems, built by different companies, trained for different purposes, using different methods, rules, #data and machinery.
They do not all know what the others know.
They do not #share one #memory.
They do not have one intention.
They are tools that can perform particular kinds of #mental work extraordinarily well.
That is remarkable enough.
We do not need to turn it into a new god.
The phrase “artificial intelligence” may be part of the #problem.
It encourages us to imagine a complete intelligence, like a #human mind, only artificial.
But what we actually have is a growing collection of machines that can recognise patterns, generate language, analyse information, create images, write #software and solve certain problems.
Some do these things brilliantly.
Some do them badly.
Most have no idea what they are doing in the human sense of the word “idea.”
They are not an emerging #species.
They are not one vast mind.
They are not secretly plotting together after we go to #bed.
They are #powerful human-made systems.
And the real questions remain human questions.
#Who builds them?
Who owns them?
What are they used for?
Who benefits?
Who is harmed?
Who remains responsible?
AI is already extraordinary.
There is no need to make it #supernatural.

KARMA-FREE TRUMP 💎
Donald Trump does not need to be hated in order to be seen clearly.
There is no need to imagine that #karma will #punish him.
No need to turn him into the #supernatural embodiment of #evil
No need to diagnose his soul.His vanity, grievance, cruelty, #fear ,appetite, and enormous need for #attention are serious enough.
#Hatred does not improve our #perception.
It distorts it.
It makes the hated person larger, darker, and more #powerful in the #mind than they already are.
It also gives them permanent residence in the #nervous #system.
Trump should be opposed when he lies, harms, corrupts, intimidates, degrades institutions, or participates in or encourages cruelty.
That opposition can be #firm.
It should be relentless.
It can name exactly what is happening.
But hatred is not required.
Nor is #spiritual #fantasy.
No one knows what happens to Donald Trump after #death.
No one knows whether the #universe keeps a #punishment #ledger.
What is known, though, is that actions have consequences here.
People are harmed.
Truth is weakened.
Fear spreads.
#Cowardice becomes #contagious.
But cruelty does not have to set the terms.
#Kindness as strength can be encouraged in the face of cruelty.
#Courage in the face of intimidation.
#Truth in the face of deception.
#Decency in the face of degradation.
Restraint in the face of vengeance.
#Clarity in the face of confusion.
The task is not to hate the man.
The task is to see clearly, speak plainly, protect those being harmed, and refuse to let cruelty decide who we become.

Explore St. John Paul II’s reflections on how Mary, as our loving Mother and Mediatrix, intercedes for us, supports us in our spiritual journey, and has a unique participation in Christ’s mediation.
Music credit: Sean Beeson“They have no wine” (Jn 2:3)
We can therefore say that in this passage of John’s Gospel [Jn 2:1-11] we find as it were a first manifestation of the truth concerning Mary’s maternal care. This truth has also found expression in the teaching of the Second Vatican Council. It is important to note how the Council illustrates Mary’s maternal role as it relates to the mediation of Christ.
Thus we read: “Mary’s maternal function towards mankind in no way obscures or diminishes the unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its efficacy,” because “there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5).
This maternal role of Mary flows, according to God’s good pleasure, “from the superabundance of the merits of Christ; it is founded on his mediation, absolutely depends on it, and draws all its efficacy from it” (Lumen Gentium, 60).
It is precisely in this sense that the episode at Cana in Galilee offers us a sort of first announcement of Mary’s mediation, wholly oriented towards Christ and tending to the revelation of his salvific power.
From the text of John, it is evident that it is a mediation which is maternal. As the Council proclaims: Mary became “a mother to us in the order of grace.”
This motherhood in the order of grace flows from her divine motherhood. Because she was, by the design of divine Providence, the mother who nourished the divine Redeemer, Mary became “an associate of unique nobility, and the Lord’s humble handmaid,” who “cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope and burning charity in the Savior’s work of restoring supernatural life to souls” (Lumen Gentium, 61).
And “this maternity of Mary in the order of grace… will last without interruption until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect” (Lumen Gentium, 62).
Saint John Paul II
Redemptoris Mater, 22
25 March 1987St. John Paul II highlights that Mary’s role as Mediatrix does not lessen or obstruct her Son’s unique role as the one mediator between God and us. Instead, it demonstrates His unique mediation.
As Mediatrix, Mary’s role flows from Christ’s merits. Her prayers are powerful and obtain miracles from the Lord because Jesus is our mediator, and she appeals to Him alone.
For example, at the wedding feast in Cana (Jn 2:1-11), Mary obtained the miracle of turning water into wine by leaning in and encouraging Jesus to reveal His power as Savior.
St. John Paul II further elaborates on Mary’s unique role and its ongoing significance, emphasizing her continuous role in our spiritual lives.
Her cooperation in Jesus’ mission through her obedience and love makes her our mother in the order of grace. The “order of grace” refers to the supernatural order, in which God’s grace is active and transformative, guiding us toward holiness and eternal salvation.
Mary’s maternal role in this order means she intercedes for us and assists us in receiving and living out God’s grace. By “heavenly fulfillment,” St. John Paul II means the ultimate completion of our spiritual journey, where we are united with God, fully partaking in His eternal joy and peace.
God of eternal wisdom,
in your providence, you willed that the Blessed Virgin Mary
should bring forth the Author of Grace,
and take part with him
in the mystery of man’s redemption.
May she obtain for us grace in abundance
and bring us to the haven of everlasting salvation.Featured image: The Virgin Mother’s intercession and Christ’s first miracle at the wedding in Cana of Galilee are wonderfully portrayed in this majestic stained glass window at St. Aloysius Church on the campus of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. The church, which was dedicated in 1911, features stained glass windows crafted and installed by the studio of Franz Mayer of Munich. Image credit: Fr. James Bradley / Flickr (Some rights reserved)

Mary’s maternal role in this order means she intercedes for us and assists us in receiving and living out God’s grace. By “heavenly fulfillment,” St. John Paul II means the ultimate completion of our spiritual journey, where we are united with God, fully partaking in His eternal joy and peace.
God of eternal wisdom,
in your providence, you willed that the Blessed Virgin Mary
should bring forth the Author of Grace,
and take part with him
in the mystery of man’s redemption.
May she obtain for us grace in abundance
and bring us to the haven of everlasting salvation.Featured image: The Virgin Mother’s intercession and Christ’s first miracle at the wedding in Cana of Galilee are wonderfully portrayed in this majestic stained glass window at St. Aloysius Church on the campus of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.

A quotation from Roberts, Stephen F.:
«
I contend we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
