15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
The Lord of Prudence is not quite as austere a card as it first sounds. It’s another of those Disks that works on more than one level. In the purely material and mundane sphere it indicates a period where financial resources must be carefully managed.
So long as it does not appear with cards like the Ten of Swords or the Five of Disks, there will not normally be any grave material problem. But there is a warning here that there may be unexpected expense, and good money management will enable us to fund whatever arises.
At the next level, the Eight of Disks can apply to a period where you enter into additional training in order to enhance your career projects. In this case look for cards like the Three of Disks, or the Ace, to indicate some new area of study. Then look for cards like the Universe, or the Sun to indicate the successful outcome of your efforts.
Finally in the spiritual area, when the Lord of Prudence comes up with cards like the Priestess, Death, the Moon, or the Hierophant, you’re approaching a period of rapid spiritual development – almost an initiation. In this case, this card is warning you to be alert for opportunities, ready to deal with stress and pressure, and to manage your energies thoughtfully and carefully. You can perhaps see the correlation which exists with regard to energy management between the material and spiritual definitions of the card – in either case energy must be regulated and respected in order for life to go smoothly and for you to get the best out of your experiences.

EVERY BODY – Official Trailer [HD] – Only In Theaters June 30
Focus Features Apr 21, 2023 Go beyond the binary. EVERY BODY is Julie Cohen’s revelatory investigation of the lives of intersex people. Only in theaters June 30. EVERY BODY is a revelatory investigation of the lives of intersex people. The film tells the stories of three individuals who have moved from childhoods marked by shame, secrecy, and non-consensual surgeries to thriving adulthoods after each decided to set aside medical advice to keep their bodies a secret and instead came out as their authentic selves. Actor and screenwriter River Gallo (they/them), political consultant Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they), and Ph.D. student Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) are now leaders in a fast-growing global movement advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community and an end to unnecessary surgeries. Woven into the story is a stranger-than-fiction case of medical abuse, featuring exclusive footage from the NBC News archives, which helps explain the modern-day treatment of intersex people.
STANFORD, CA—Calling on the public to “Please, just listen first,” scientists at Stanford University sheepishly announced Thursday, “Don’t get mad, but we accidentally found the cure for homosexuality.” “Wait, hold on, everybody calm down—we’re just the messengers here, okay?” said researcher Eduardo Soto, who wiped his brow as he explained that “Of course, a cure implies that it’s a disease,” but that was not at all what the group of scientists were trying to say. “There could be a cure for heterosexuality for all we know, all right? Don’t freak out. We were just doing cancer research and…and we don’t really know how we got to this point. We realize this is bad timing, what with Pride Month or whatever. Well, not ‘whatever.’ We didn’t mean it like that, okay? Look my brother’s gay. Well, not anymore, but you know.” At press time, Soto stated that he was going to lay the study file down on the ground very gently and run.
Noetic Films Sep 2, 2019 In one of his final television interviews Viennese psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search for Meaning” explains how Logotherapy’s concepts of meaning and self-transcendence contrast the deterministic views of modern psychotherapy. Suffering from macular degeneration, a severe eye condition which left him virtually blind in his later years, Frankl wore sunglasses to protect his eyes from bright studio lights.
New Thinking Jun 16, 2023 This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1996. Fritjof Capra, PhD, is author of The Tao of Physics, Uncommon Wisdom, The Turning Point, Belonging to the Universe and The Web of Life: A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems. He is founding director of the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, and is on the faculty of Schumacher College in England. Here he points out that many new trends have been converging in the field of biology – including systems theory, complexity theory, chaos theory, fractile geometry, the Gaia hypothesis, the theory of dissipative structures, and the theory of autopoeisis. Taken together, these perspectives suggest a new approach to the understanding of living systems which is neither mechanistic nor vitalistic. The fundamental maxim of the systems approach is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. At certain levels of complexity, properties such as life emerge. Consciousness, Capra points out, is intimately connected with life. Now you can watch all of the programs from the original Thinking Allowed Video Collection, hosted by Jeffrey Mishlove. Subscribe to the new Streaming Channel (https://thinkingallowed.vhx.tv/) and watch more than 350 programs now, with more, previously unreleased titles added weekly.
Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing Jun 14, 2023 Directed by D. Smith In theaters July 28 In the wildly entertaining and refreshingly unfiltered documentary KOKOMO CITY, filmmaker D. Smith passes the mic to four Black transgender sex workers in Atlanta and New York City – Daniella Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell, and Dominique Silver – who unapologetically break down the walls of their profession. Holding nothing back, the film vibrates with energy, sex, challenge, and hard-earned wisdom. This vital portrait, edited and shot by Smith in bold black and white, is her feature directorial debut. A two-time Grammy-nominated producer, singer, and songwriter, Smith made history as the first trans woman cast on a primetime unscripted TV show.
