    As a spiritual pilgrim for more than half a century, Jon Sweeney has practiced with teachers of many religious traditions. He's gone looking for wisdom, beauty, and truth wherever it can be found. But recently he's found himself learning closer to home—from the teacher-cats he lives with. 
     
     
     
    What he discovered is that our greatest spiritual teachers are at our feet. Literally. They are the cats we love and treasure. Nearly 60 million cats live in US households today. These feline teachers have much to offer us about living in the present, loving unconditionally, approaching life with a sense of playfulness, and trusting others, all the while being independent spirits. 
     
     
     
    Jon Sweeney, beloved scholar and author of The Pope's Cat and numerous books about Saint Francis, offers a playful, gentle, informed meditation on the many spiritual truths and practices our feline companions provide if we but pause and pay attention.

    Before the podcast and the smartphone, there was the cassette tape and the Walkman — two devices that, although not considered much today, were revolutionary. They were recordable, rewritable, spliceable, compact, and mobile. For the first time, they allowed you to move through the world and listen to a voice speaking only to you. These cassette tapes brought us together, pulled us apart, and forever changed how we say those three simple words, ‘I love you.’ In five episodes from around the world, Mixtape explores the impact the cassette had and continues to have today.

    Democritus - Atoms and the Birth...

    Democritus, often referred to as the "laughing philosopher," was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who is best known for his atomic theory of the universe. His ideas have significantly shaped modern science, especially in physics and chemistry. Democritus proposed that everything in the universe is made up of small, indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms are eternal, unchangeable, and infinite in number, differing only in shape, size, and arrangement. He was a strong proponent of materialism, the idea that everything that exists is composed of matter and that the properties of the world can be explained by the properties and interactions of atoms. 
    In addition to his contributions to atomic theory, Democritus also made significant contributions to epistemology, the study of knowledge. He suggested that our senses are the primary means by which we perceive the world, though they can sometimes be deceptive. His ideas influenced many later philosophers, including Leucippus, Epicurus, and even modern scientists like John Dalton, whose 19th-century atomic theory was inspired by Democritus's concepts. 
    Despite the lack of direct empirical evidence in his time, Democritus's theories laid the groundwork for the development of scientific thought and inquiry. He emphasized reason and observation over mythological explanations, helping to shape the way we understand the material world. Though much of his work has been lost to history, Democritus's legacy endures, continuing to inspire scientific exploration and contributing to our understanding of the universe.

    Two States for Two Peoples? -...

    The EU two-state policy concerning the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is failing, despite a half-century of strenuous EU efforts expending tens of billions of euros to implement it. The reality of policy failure is discomforting but must be acknowledged.Failure should provoke reflection: reasons need to be understood to avoid repeated mistakes and to construct a more successful policy for the future. The reasons for failure of the EU Two State Policy are serious but surprisingly obvious. At the base of the EU two-state policy lie 3 false assumptions of wishful thinking: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is territorial and not existential; East Jerusalem and the West Bank legally belong to the Palestinians; and the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state at peace beside Israel is realistic and feasible.This report challenges these assumptions and makes recommendations for a new approach to enabling Palestinian autonomy, Israeli security and regional stability.Palestinian rights to self-determination must be respected, but they may not be allowed to conflict with the fair and non-discriminatory application of international law, nor be allowed to undermine Israeli sovereignty or regional stability. Peace will never be achieved through agendas aimed at destruction.The EU should focus on ensuring rejection of extremism and mutual acceptance; the fair and equal application of international law to all actors in the region; and strengthening institutions of government based on the rule of law. The authors of this report seek to stimulate vigorous debate on the EU approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and a better way forward for Europes engagement in the Middle East.
