This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy Life

It focuses specifically on his claim that "virtue is its own reward". The Stoics (among others) maintain that virtue is both necessary and sufficient for human happiness, and that nothing else is as valuable as virtue.

Seneca, On The Happy Life - Virtue As Its Own Reward - Sadler's Lectures

This is an archive of the Clean Up Hour. Tonight takes us back to the summer of 2004, where Jadakiss was everywhere promoting Kiss of Death (including G-Phoria, rather than the Spike Video Game Awards, as I misremembered!), the American government continued to astound by virtue of its un-reality, and I was just enjoying life as a carefree ten year old who wanted to take in all the hip hop and video games that he could. The summer had a number of releases that, I argue, made clear to my younger self why I wanted to go further into the world of rap music, so tonight's mix reflects that.

Series: Enduring through suffering

St John's Downshire Hill - Sunday 3rd November 6pm

Suffering and God's work in us - Romans 5:1-11

Catéchèse du P. Mathieu - 2024-11-07 La prière pour les défunts

Karma’s Wheel

Karma’s Wheel is a haunting, bluesy folk ballad that delves into the inevitable journey of cause and consequence. Inspired by the timeless wisdom, “When we do bad deeds, our bad deeds will lead us to sufferings in the future,” the song paints a vivid picture of how actions echo back to the soul in mysterious ways. Sung by Dionysus, the Greek god of revelry, his earthy yet otherworldly voice brings the weight of karmic law to life.

The lyrics unfold like a fable: shadows, secrets, and fleeting moments all reveal the subtle traps woven by past actions. Through verses, we hear tales of words left unmeasured and deeds done in darkness, each carrying an unseen price. The chorus captures the powerful notion that our choices reverberate, casting fragile hearts and filling familiar paths with reminders of our own actions. The bridge poignantly reminds listeners that karma’s wheel turns without mercy, pulling us back to face what we have sown.

Set to a soulful blend of acoustic guitar, rolling basslines, and evocative keyboard notes, Karma’s Wheel envelops listeners in a sense of eerie beauty and introspection, making it a modern folk tale that resonates deeply with anyone who has felt the weight of consequence.

[Verse]
When shadows whisper secrets dark
And hearts are heavy with their mark
The echoes of what once was bold
Will soon return a tale retold

[Verse 2]
A deed is done in moon's faint light
A consequence will grip so tight
The wheels of fate they spin around
For every wrong a loss is found

[Chorus]
Bad deeds they boomerang back fast
In moments fragile hearts are cast
The suffering it finds a home
In paths where we once used to roam

[Verse 3]
A reckless word a fleeting glance
Will set the stage for second chance
But karma's wheel it turns so true
The past will always find what's due

[Bridge]
You can't escape the seeds you've sown
In gardens wild they've overgrown
The tangles twist and pull you near
Reminding you that fate is clear

[Chorus]
Bad deeds they boomerang back fast
In moments fragile hearts are cast
The suffering it finds a home
In paths where we once used to roam






Karma's Wheel

Our speaker Eric Le Reste offers some simple yet meaningful strategies to enrich your life and elevate your everyday.
 

Speaker: Eric Le Reste
Eric has an extensive background as a journalist and producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation news and current affairs programs. For more than 40 years he has been practising Raja Yoga meditation. Based in Montreal, he currently serves as the National Coordinator of The Brahma Kumaris in Canada.

Elevate Your Everyday - Eric Le Reste - Thursday 16th January 2025

Our Loving Father sends us trials in which we have a choice of trusting Him or flesh.  Every choice you make should be of the heart...no hyprocracy.
You are alive to love...and to experience many things in this process.
Do you live your life by desire?  ob opinion?  or Truth?
We don't know the way, but we know Who The Way is.
When God does something through you, you are fulfilled.

The story of David is raw and real and it teaches us that God warns us about sin because He loves us, not to restrict us.

David 7 - David's Trouble Pt 1

David's story teaches us about the effects of sin and answers the question: "If I'm forgiven, why do I still suffer consequences?"

09 09 2025 Unexpected Changes - 1 Cor 3 - Dreams

dBridge invites Consequence - 10 September 2025

You ever wonder how quick it happened? One moment — a garden, rivers, perfection. The next — shame, hiding, blame. From paradise to exile in a single afternoon. 

The Garden-The Scene & The Crime

GRAMMY FAMILY FREESTYLE (PROD. KANYE WEST x JON BRION)

Some of us have prayed ourselves hoarse for people and situations that never changed.
We fasted. We cried. We wore out our knees.
And when nothing happened, we thought maybe our faith failed.


THE MISGUIDED MERCY

Catéchèse du P. Mathieu - 2025-11-20 La mort vue du Christ

Please like and share. 
Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
