Shame Unmasked: Disarming the Hidden Source of Destructive Decisions, Dr. Rick Patterson

In this week's show we interview author Dr. Rick Patterson. We discuss politics, raising children from different ethnic backgrounds and how to influence the world for the better. A quote from his first book: “While my doctoral dissertation was based on how shame motivates and manipulates our lives, it’s been my experiences in corporate America, professional ministry, and as an adoptive father our four African American children that have led me to a new understanding of the power shame has over our lives and the daily decisions we make.  I have seen the effects of shame in my own destructive decisions from breaking my hand punching a wall to entering professional ministry.  It’s my hope that I can bring awareness to this hidden ‘killer’ so we can go about disarming it before it does any more damage.”Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

In this week's show we continue our conversation with Raphael Gantshar. We have a comprehensive discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict, exploring its historical, religious, and political dimensions while addressing the challenges of anti-Semitism and the complexities of Jewish perspectives on conflict. We examine the nuances of nationalism, governance, and humanitarian issues in Israel and the Palestinian territories, emphasizing the need for dialogue and understanding between different communities. We discussed the complexities of war, its toll on individuals and societies, and the philosophical and ethical dilemmas it presents, particularly for religious individuals. Rafi shared personal experiences and emphasized the importance of standing against evil while avoiding moral equivalency. They also discussed the need to carefully evaluate and condemn hate speech within their own communities, with Rafi expressing willingness to condemn Jewish extremism while highlighting the importance of context and avoiding misrepresentation.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

In this week's show our guest is Raphael Gantshar from the YouTube channel "Israel A People." He shares his perspective on the current Israeli assault on Iran and how this is being done for the sake of protecting Jews from terroristic proxies funded by the Islamic regime. We question the timing, the American interests and push for regime change and the inability to find diplomatic solutions to the many conflicts in the Middle East.Previous show with Mr. Gantshar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwgiheIAom4Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

In this week's show we discuss the disgusting new song by "Ye" aka Kanye West called "Heil Heitler". In our a monthly rant we delve into the reasons why Russell Brand and others are supporting this vitriol against the Jews."The song features a synth-heavy and orchestral instrumental, including marching band styled drums during its bridge. For the hook, West and his group the Hooligans chant "All my niggas Nazis, nigga, heil Hitler." West's first verse details the current state of his life, including his custody battle and the freezing of his assets, using them as justification for why he "became a Nazi". The song ends with a sample taken from a 1935 Adolf Hitler speech. The speech is in German, and translates to:"If you consider the work I'm doing to be right, if you think I have been diligent, that I have worked, that I have advocated for you this year, that I have spent my time honestly in the service of my people, then cast your vote! If so, then stand up for me like I have stood up for you!""Source: WikipediaMystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

We start a new tradition, a monthly rant. A sermon, speech or discussion about the world and how we can make it better. 17 year ago I attempted to start a new organization at 27 years old I had worked for a few non-profits and was idealistic still a little naive. Not only was I put through the ringer having worked for a refugee agency assisting HT victims but I had been an organizer for a union, a case manager at a detention center for immigrants but worked as a legal assistant at an immigration law firm. After all these experiences I was ready to take on the world by creating a ministry or non-profit that kept the vision of MLK alive. It’s name was A More Excellent Way a phrase used by him quoting the writings of the apostle Paul. 1 Corinthians 12:31 "Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way." Reverend Doctor King is pointing to the Way of Love described by Paul as "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant..." connecting to the peaceful nature of the Jesus Movement and the Jewish concept of Chessed or loving-kindness which became a foundational component of the Civil Rights movement. This week, I came across the most ridiculous argument among progressives it is between Cenk Uger from The Young Turks, Sam Seder from The Majority Report and the always controversial Jimmy Dore anti-war comedian activist that I follow closely. Sam and the young lady he co-hosts with in their weekly show on YouTube were sharing "old gossip” about their interactions while part of the Young Turks. All this came about because they believe that Ana Casperian and Cenk are going right wing in an effort to get more viewers. There are many conspiracies from Sam and Jimmy that TYT is a front for the democratic party which attempts to behave in a liberal way to attract young people to the party and then always folds to the institutional party or the establishment narrative from the corporate donors when needed. According to Sam Seder TYT was one of the most popular shows on YouTube at one point and now it has turned into a clown show. Seder also attacks Jimmy Dore for some reason which I found unfair as he often calls out politicians from both sides of the political spectrum specially as People are dying, the world is getting worse. I would be the first to call him an "A Tool of the Antisemitic/Conspiratorial Left" but he actually speaks about the possibility of nuclear war, the deep state, the evil perpetrated by both parties and the need to fight for the poor. Although he has attempted to get single payer healthcare for all by pressuring Bernie Sanders, AOC and other candidates, he has turned into the mouthpiece of the radical anti-Israel section of the left by sharing his ontological disdain for Jews which comes from conspiracies and his mostly Roman Catholic upbringing. Although politics are messy I believe we can overcome this confusion through steering back the peace movement to a Spiritual Consciousness found in MLK writings.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
