So… what is your sexuality? 👀 Sometimes the answer isn't as simple as checking a box. In this clip, we get into attraction, dating women vs. having fun with women, and the gender roles we say we don't believe in, until a dead bird is floating in the pond....

Alan Watts on why meditation has no purpose: Alan Watts begins by explaining the first basic reason for meditation. It interrupts our constant internal monologue: "Now, obviously, if I talk all the time, I don't hear what anyone else has to say. And so in exactly the same way, if I think all the time, that is to say, if I talk to myself all the time, I don't have anything to think about except thoughts. And therefore, I'm living entirely in the world of symbols and am never in relationship with reality." But then Watts pivots to a deeper, more counterintuitive point: meditation, properly understood, has no purpose at all. He compares it to music and dancing: "When we make music, we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music, to get to the end of the piece then obviously the fastest players would be the best." The same applies to dance: "When we dance, we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor, as we would be if we were taking a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point. When we play music, the playing itself is the point." This is where Watts delivers his core insight about meditation: "Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. And therefore, if you meditate for an ulterior motive, that is to say, to improve your mind, to improve your character, to be more efficient in life, you've got your eye on the future and you are not meditating." Watts argues the future is an illusion we chase at our own expense: "Because the future is a concept. It doesn't exist. As the proverb says, 'tomorrow never comes.' There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be. Because time is always now." He pushes back against how religion has framed contemplative practice: "Meditation is supposed to be fun. It's not something you do as a grim duty. The trouble with religion as we know it is that it is so mixed up with grim duties. We do it because it's good for you; it's a kind of self-punishment." Watts closes with what he calls the real essence of the practice: "It's a kind of digging the present. It's a kind of grooving with the eternal now and brings us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life. The place where it's at is simply here and now."

Rosaria Butterfield boldly sharing truth at the Answers for Women conference this weekend, apparently after eating a breakfast of Grape-Nuts sprinkled with gunpowder: "...It's a sin to tell a lie, but it's also a sin to believe a lie. And so, there is no such thing as a gay man or a lesbian woman or a transgender woman (and then you can fill in all of the different categories that come under the umbrella, LGBTQ). And the reason is because, in Genesis where we have to start, we are given our identity. Our identity is in the image of God, bearing it as a man or as a woman. There are two kinds of people in the world—a man or a woman. A man who says he's a gay man is a man with a sin pattern that Jesus came to help set him free from if he will mortify it, repent, believe, go to war. It's very hard to do that. I'm not suggesting it's easy, but that is our job, and you know what? It's not just somebody whose indwelling sin is homosexuality who happens to have that call. It's everyone, because we are all born in the sin of Adam. And it is because of the sin of Adam that we have sin in our nature. And that quite frankly means that every person in this room needs to wake up every morning, drive a thousand fresh nails into your choice sin and do that before breakfast and then do the same thing before lunch. And if you do that, Satan's gonna get a little tired of you. But here's the problem, homosexuality is the only sin pattern with a civil rights group behind it. And therefore, people who are deceived, as I was and Christopher [Yuan], by the lusts of our flesh have a cheering community behind you, and this is where you get the rub. You see, it used to be that the church was clear and the world was the world, but because we have wolves in shepherds' clothing, we have way too many young people who are leaving the true church and claiming, 'Well, my same-sex attracted pastor told me it's not a sin to be gay.' And you know, we are to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. I want to be gentle with the people who are trapped in the lie of LGBTQ, but I am not gentle with the wolves...I quite frankly think they need to get a job selling insurance until they repent..." [Apologies for my shoddy video skills, but sadly, a big monitor was placed on the stage, blocking my view of the speakers for the Q&A.]

Dearest Vivian, We miss you so much. A year has passed since that terrible day when we lost you and so many other wonderful people. On that day, the foundations of everything we relied on were shaken – trust was shaken, security was shaken. We are in a terrible crisis. Like all of Israel, we initially found ourselves confused and at a loss, asking ourselves: Where did we go wrong? As time passed and the war continued, the realization sank in that we weren't the ones who erred. Those who didn't listen to our cries were wrong! And it's clear to us now, more than ever, that we have no choice but to continue. We were strengthened tremendously by your family, who continues in your path despite the terrible tragedy – and in many ways, because of it. They, like us, cannot know what you would be thinking had you survived the horrific massacre, but knowing you, we believe you would not have despaired or given up. You would have continued to work tirelessly for a diplomatic agreement and a better future for Israel and the region's residents, so that we can raise our children and future generations here in peace, security, equality, and freedom. And that's what we did – we thought things over, rolled up our sleeves, and we're continuing tirelessly, on our path – your path, for us and also for you. A year has passed; we're still in the midst of a cursed war with no end in sight, and sometimes we feel like we're fighting windmills, but we're not giving up. You would surely be thrilled, along with us, if you could see the international recognition we've received in recent weeks, together with our Palestinian sisters from Women of the Sun. Believe it or not, we have even been nominated together for the Nobel Peace Prize. Dearest Vivian, we hope that in another year we’ll be able to update you that we've succeeded, that they're finally listening to us, and not just overseas, and that what we believe in is happening – women are bringing peace. We promise to dedicate the Nobel Prize we receive to you. May your memory be peace, dear friend. We miss you so much. #VivianSilver Yonatan Zeigen

Day 4 of Unfiltered. Most people know that women, on average, live about five years longer than men. What’s less known is that this advantage disappears if you are a physician. A large study published this year showed that female physicians lose that mortality benefit, even compared with other high stress professions. There are many possible reasons. Psychological stress. The second shift at home. Bias in the workplace. Burnout. What matters is that people are finally studying it, because we cannot fix what we refuse to see. I wanted to share this for another reason. Over the last few decades, American healthcare has become harder and harder to survive in, and at the same time, more women are entering medicine. We are also seeing evidence that women physicians often achieve better patient outcomes in certain settings. That tells a powerful story about what women are giving to this profession. As a female physician who cares for women facing the hardest moments of their lives, I have never seen a force stronger than a woman protecting her people. I believe women in medicine will be a huge part of what ultimately helps fix healthcare. Losing a mortality advantage is not a story of weakness. It is a story of how deeply women are pouring themselves into this work because it matters. And still, we have to find another gear. We cannot destroy ourselves in the process of caring for others. If you know a female physician, encourage her. If you are in a position to support women in medicine, please do. We are at a real crisis point in healthcare, and this moment calls for both honesty and care. I see you. I am proud of you. And I am proud to stand among you.
