0:00.0 | Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. |
0:07.0 | I'm Martha Beck. |
0:09.0 | If you know anything about me, you know that I believe in science. |
0:14.0 | And also that I am plagued by miracles. |
0:19.0 | Not so much plagued, but they happen. I noticed them happening. Now, I wanted to talk |
0:25.5 | about them because periodically, I just have to. But also, because they come around, they seem to |
0:32.9 | come around in this cyclical pattern. And I have to make it very clear that I believe that they are all |

1:38.0 | this week I watched a film. Some of you may have seen it. It's called Superhuman. And it went a bunch |
1:43.8 | of film awards |
1:45.9 | at like film festivals around the world. |
1:49.0 | It's called Superhuman, and it's about different |
1:53.7 | abilities that people can acquire |
1:57.4 | that we deem a miraculous. And I was interested in it because I'm always fascinated by the place where our culture, which is very, it's weird because we have a lot of religion, |
