First of all welcome to Basel. So this is EuroPython 2019. It's the 18th EuroPython conference So we've come a long long way We sold even more tickets than last year. We sold 1200 tickets for the conference and 300 for the training days and I'd like to Welcome, especially the new EuroPythonistas. I had an in the opening session for the training days I had a call of hands.  Not that many that's interesting So for all the regulars I'd like to ask you to help all the newcomers Feel feel at home at EuroPython to you know, maybe explain a bit how things work because every year Basically, we do more or less the same thing And so if if someone needs needs help, please please do guide them Please help them and and and let them know how how we do things For example, what lightning talks are or what a poster session is or what open space is That would be a really nice of you because you know, this is our conference And so we want to make it really nice for everyone. I'd also like to say a big thanks to our sponsors The sponsor exhibit is out just outside on the second floor Something that I'd like to mention here because you know, you typically just go to a conference. You see all the sponsors Maybe you go to their booths What you typically don't realize is that the sponsors actually make the tickets affordable So we'd have to charge you about 200 euros more per ticket If if it were not for these companies to help us so please give them a big hand And now I'd like to hand over to to Martin Christen He's gonna tell you a bit about Basel Welcome to Basel. Welcome to Europe as in 2019. I'm actually from Basel I will tell more about but actually in Switzerland. We do have four languages So German French Italian and this retro Romanian language and Basel You can speak German English French. So it's no problem at all You see here the picture of the Baselisk. That's a dragon or something like a dragon It's a symbol of Basel and also the name Basel Basilea came from from the Roman Basel is a very old city. It was founded by Kelt's 120 BC so Really really old that didn't program Pison back then but I think they would have if they knew it And the most important thing in Basel is the River Rhine It actually separates Basel in two places the lower and the higher part or the Yeah lower and higher could say and you will see Basel also has two city centers in on each side I think you will enjoy that Basel is a Pison city. I'm actually from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, North Switzerland Northwestern Switzerland. That's where the tutorials yesterday and on Monday were happening. Those of you who are there Remember that certainly I'm teaching Pison. So many students here. They know Pison and they spread the word how cool this language is I'm also the organizer of Pi Basel and There is the big Geo Pison event every year in Basel. It's about Pison and Geo data you could say the Geospatial data science with Pison conference and There are also new trends like Pi Pharma because Basel is a pharma city So the pharma industry discovered how important Pison is in data science and discovered that it is really useful for that and As I said before Pison in education is very popular in Switzerland more and more University switch to Pison It's a it's a perfect language for many purposes So I'm giving back the word to Mark So yeah, please give a big hand to Mark him because he he actually invested a lot of time getting all this working here in Basel It was really a pleasure I like Pison I do everything for Pison So Which brings me to the next slide who's making all this happen. It's actually just a very few people These are essentially the the main main organizers plus of course we have lots and lots of onsite volunteers The people in the yellow t-shirts who are helping us enormously make this happen without the volunteers We are the onsite volunteers that we have this wouldn't be possible all of the people that you see here Do this for free. This is all volunteer jobs. This is no one gets paid for these things So I think all of these people deserve deserve a big hand from you as well right The Europe Pison Society is is running the show.  We also started to support the Europe European Pison community So if you for example run a conference somewhere and you need a grant you need some money to to get you started Or you need some other help might be organizational help then please contact us. We are very open to to helping you out If you want to help us even more then of course you can you can earn one of these yellow t-shirts and for that you only need to register on the website and To to become a volunteer and then please come to the registration desk And then we can find something for you to do or you can go to the volunteer app that we have to register there This is the hitchhiker's guide to Europe Pison Especially important is the Wi-Fi information in there because as you can see the username is not exactly something you can easily remember We've tried to put these you know pieces of paper around the venues with all the data So hopefully you can get the information from there if if not you can go to the conference app It has the information as well and we'd like to encourage you to install the attend if I app Again, you can go to the website to learn how to use that. We have a telegram channel. That's open to the public So anyone can register If you want to for example arrange dinner or what you want to meet some other people Then in the in the city then you can coordinate on that channel You can also post post images post videos and so on there Just please be aware that this all is subject to our code of conduct. I'm gonna get to that later on so You shouldn't post anything that could could you know Make people unhappy Everything else is at available at the conference desk So if you have a question, then you can just go down there and ask them I Tried to put these maps on on the slide here. They're too small. You can't really see them If you have the the app installed it has a section with the maps So you can you can find out where things are we also put some signage out outside with the Which explains you where the different rooms are so the different monitors around the venue which show you things Essentially, we have we are using three floors. We're not using the first floor. We're just using the ground floor We're using the second floor and the third floor so Actually, I'm not sure. Did you get your bags already? Yes. No. Yes. No, okay so if you Already received your bags so the people who went to the train days already received the bags for example You you'll have a booklet in there the conference booklet which has all the information it has the program the program in the booklet booklet is not Really up to date anymore because we made a few changes, but most of the talk should still be fine You should have a t-shirt You should have the official your Python Pew Pew device Did you get that already? Yeah You'll probably also find some sponsor gadgets coupons and other sponsor information in there Coming to the Pew Pew device. This is it. This is how it looks like It's a specially made device for your Python. It was designed by Radomir. I don't know whether he's here Radomir No, okay We had workshops for this for this device to teach you how to use it It's programmable in Python. You can do lots of you know nice stuff with it. You can play games on it Batteries are included. We have our own Python batteries for these devices and If you want to read up on how it's used and you can either go to Radomir And maybe he can help you a bit or you can go read the documentation there to figure out how it works So essentially just put in the batteries you turn it on and it starts with showing the Europe Python, then you have to press a few buttons to go to the games right Okay, so the official part of the conference. Of course, we have lots of talks. We have lots of poster sessions we have Keynotes and these are our keynotes. We're going to start with Lynn today As you can see we have four ladies one gentleman there so Diversity wise this is I think a good selection We also have some other events that I want like to I would like to mention so we already had on the training days all the great ones We're gonna have the poster session I don't know exactly when it is maybe today or tomorrow Then we have a pie data truck so lots of talks in the pie data field We have a recruitment session for those of you who are looking for a new job We have an open space where you can arrange talks yourself. We're gonna put up a whiteboard or Something to to manage this We're gonna have help desk where teams can can have registered to to then show you certain open source projects and help you with Any questions that you might have and of course on the weekend we have the sprints and hackathons at the university again So just a few words about the open spaces I'm not gonna go into detail open space essentially something that you arrange yourself The room is called Delphi. It's at the level zero so ground floor and Similarly, we have the lightning talks. How many of you don't know what a lightning talk is Excellent, so I don't have to explain so it's first come first serve We're gonna have them on Wednesday Thursday and Friday We're gonna set up a flip chart probably near the registration desk where you can then mark your your your talks that you want to give and then This is all gonna be at organized by Alexander. Where's Alexander Alexander? There he is down there and So these are usually a probably the most exciting part of the conference so These are always fun and and nice to to go to Already mentioned the conference app. I won't go into detail here The only thing I want to mention is that you can actually rate the sessions So there's they have the for each session. We have this rating bar in there Whether it works out this year or not. I don't know last year didn't work out. So maybe you know But it's definitely good to to find the schedule. We're updating it regularly And it works offline then we have a social event on Thursday. Very important. Please get your tickets We don't we only have a Fixed number of seats. I think 400 we have right So if you want to it go to these the social event, then please get your tickets in the ticket shop We're gonna have grilled sausages baked potatoes. We're gonna have the ticket includes two drinks But of course you can buy more We're gonna have a very special Python music session in there. So what's he called leash leash man the traverse? This is a group that's actually using Python to produce music. It's a bit experimental So it's not you know the stuff that you get in discos, but But it's gonna be very interesting We have a quiet room for those of you who want to take a break. It's also at the level zero ground floor We have a code of conduct like I mentioned So the very very very short version is be nice to each other Because this is our conference. We want to make it enjoyable for everyone and be professional and don't spam This is more gear towards companies attending the conference who are not sponsors Or even the the companies who are sponsors, but because we don't want to we don't want to spam people If you want to read the full version of the code of conduct you need to go to our website The people on the right here. These are the code of conduct work group members So if you have any issues, please contact one of these people It's probably best to contact them personally if you don't see them Please go to the registration desk and they can then inform us and we will come to the registration desk to sort out Any issues that you find this applies to all the channels that we have all the social channels the of course the conference But also the social event and anything That happens around the conference Right, so last slide speaker guidelines if you are a speaker Please do test your notebooks before you come to the session, you know, we should have done that as well But we kind of forgot After your talk, please do upload your slides and There was one more thing I wanted to say about the catering we have a special food point to the when you when you exit on the second level to the right from you know On that side, so it's the left on your side For vegetarian food and vegan food and any other diets I suppose that they can also serve other diets as well if you if you want to have food specifically on One of those diets and please go there for all the others I would recommend not going there because otherwise we're gonna run out of vegetarian food and we don't want that So we have plenty of other food points available to For you to get your food, so That's it. Enjoy the conference


Alright guys, what is going on? Luxury for an empty journey helping you succeed on your medical journey with less stress. This is going to be a fun video. We're going to talk about things that you need to make sure you keep in your life. So I got a bouncy ball here. We are just going to sit ourselves down and let's get to it. So let's get to the six things. So number one, make sure you never lose your health. That includes eating right and working out. Med students are notorious for sleeping unhealthy hours, eating terrible food, and also just not going to the gym enough or taking care of themselves by running, exercising, and so we gain weight or we lose weight but we lose muscle and we just don't look as ideal and handsome or beautiful as we were when we were on our med school application. So take that as a notice that you want to make sure that your health is always optimal. So getting enough sleep, making sure that you have workout scheduled in to your life. I'll link down below one of the videos on showing how I stay productive, how I make sure a workout is always scheduled into my days, and making sure that you're eating the right meals.  So make sure that you never lose sight of your own health. You can't be a proponent and advocate for people's health if you can't take care of your own. So remember that is a very important key to take care of your patients who first have to take care of yourself. So number two, do not lose sight of your support system. I don't really understand this one. I'm going to move around and talk. Don't really understand this. You would think that in a time where you would need people the most where you're stressed out. For some reason, I think it's mainly the time obligation. We start to shun the people that support us the most. So we don't talk to our parents enough. We don't talk to our significant others enough or at least open enough. And we're kind of enclosed in our textbooks. Sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively, med school really starts to overwhelm and encompass everything in our lives. So don't lose your support system because you will need them. You'll need them multiple times and they'll be there and they'll get better at being there for you if you continue to rely on them. So your parents make sure you give them a call more than just like once a month. Make sure you're talking to your siblings, your best friends from home, people that are not in your medical community but are still in your community. So make sure you don't lose your support system. So number three is a big one for me. Do not lose your hobbies. If you love reading, if you love watching movies, you love hiking, rock climbing, whatever it may be, make sure that those top hobbies are still part of your life. You may not be able to do them as much as you used to, but don't say something like, oh man, I wish it's been so long since I've done that. If it's something you love, make sure that you find time for it. You can always take out a few hours of studying. They probably won't change your grade as much as you think they would, but you will be much more happier by including those hobbies and passions of your life.  Final three are some of my favorites. Make sure you never lose a day off. It sounds weird, basically saying make sure you take a day off. Don't be a med student, you know, seven days a week, 365 days a year, 52 weeks or whatever. Make sure you have a day off. It can be scheduled. It can be spontaneous, but don't let medicine encompass your life. It is going to be your occupation.  You need to make time for, goes back to my first point. You need to make sure you're taking care of your health.  So make sure at least one day off a week. So don't lose that. And the final two things are probably the most important. So make sure you listen up here. Number five, make sure you don't lose humility.  If you're even considering the drought, you have done well in life, up to this point. Education wise for sure. It is very easy to start building your ego up. Don't let it happen.  You are going to be a provider of service to people in need. And so you cannot have your ego overtake what you're about to do. Make sure you're humble in every aspect. When you're studying, understand you are not the smartest person in the room. You always have something to learn from, from every single person above and below you on a hierarchy chain. And make sure that you are not satisfied of the person that you are today. You can always become a better med student. You can always become a better person outside of medicine. So use humility throughout all aspects of medicine. It's going to help you go through your medical journey with a lot more sanity. Now, the last one is kind of similar, but make sure you never lose a sight of what this was all for. There was a person inside of you a while ago, maybe recently, that discovered your passion and interest to go into medicine, and you're deciding to pursue the field. As you get further and further along, even to the point where I am, where I'm applying to residency, you kind of lose that person and you want to make sure you don't. It's very easy for the studying, the long hours, the commitments, the stress, and the compromises and sacrifices that you make on medicine in your medical journey to start peeling away from that person. And it does identify your true interest in medicine. That's okay. That's normal. But make sure you don't lose that optimistic person that saw medicine in a very bright light before you were kind of tainted by some of the rough experiences that you just have to go through. You have to go through the long hours of studying and the busy rotations and the tough board exams. That's just part of it, but we all get through it. The people before me did it and I was able to as well. And you're going to as well. So just understand that you don't lose sight of what this was all for. Think about your goals. Why are you becoming a physician? Who are you doing it for? Sometimes we don't always do it for ourselves. There are other people that we would like to also achieve this goal for. That's okay as long as it's also your goal. All right, guys. So hopefully this video is helpful. I'm going to quickly review the top six. So don't lose sight of your own health before you start helping other people in their own lives. Don't lose your support system. You need them. You need them. So continue to rely on them, especially in this time where you need them the most.  So find time and creative venues to make sure that they are still as important as part of your life as they've ever been. Try to always take a day off a week. And then finally, this last two, which are most important, never lose your humility and never ever lose a sight of why this whole process began. If you guys enjoyed this video, give it a like, subscribe to the channel, comment down below with other things that you think that all should be on this list of things you should never ever lose when you're on your medical journey. But hopefully you guys enjoyed this video. I'm appreciative of you making it to the very end. But I'll see you guys in the next one. Take care, guys.


What's up, guys? Mike the Coder here. Today we're going to go over this problem called max array sum. So given an array of integers, find the subset of non adjacent elements with the maximum sum. So basically, we just need to find the set of find a subset where the elements are not really adjacent, right? They're not adjacent. So I have to pick if I have this, this array of negative two, one, three, negative four, five, right? If I pick one as a subset, right, I cannot pick three, because that's right next to it. And I cannot pick negative one, because that's an X to it. Also, right, they want non adjacent elements, and they want us to find the subset that has the maximum sum. So and then we have to calculate the total sum of that subset and return that. So it is possible maximum sum of zero, the case when all the elements are negative. So in this case, you could see a different types of scenarios. If I pick negative two, three and five, then the total sum would be six. If I pick negative two and three, the total sum would be one. If I pick negative two negative four, the total sum would be negative six. If I pick negative two and five, the total sum would be three. If I pick one and negative four, the total sum would be negative three. If I pick one and five, the total sum would to be six. And if I pick three and five, the total sum would be eight. So the maximum subset sum is eight. So yeah, and also note that every individual element is a subset as well. So yeah, we cannot pick adjacent elements. So I cannot pick like negative two and one and I cannot pick one and three, right? So I cannot pick like elements that are right next to each other. So that's the thing. Okay, so how do you do this problem? What we're going to do is we're going to create use dynamic programming because this is part of dynamic programming. So first, we're going to build an array of dynamic programming. And what we're going to do is the first element, we're going to set to the first element of the array, right, because that's like the first element. And the second one element, dp of one is we're going to set as the max value of the first element and the second element, right, the zero element, the first one. The reason why we're doing this is because that's like the maximum maximum element that we could start it from also, right? Like if I start from, so in this case, if I start from negative two, right, I could start from negative two, or I could start from one, right? I could start from negative two or negative one, or one to pick whichever subset I want to start from. And negative two, I could start from this one also. But I want the I don't want to just pick like negative two and then not the maximum number between both these, because if I just pick negative two, and pick negative two, or just pick one that's not going to be correct, because we want the second value, we want the maximum value of the first and second value. Okay, now what we're going to do is we're going to build a table. So the first first way we could do this is, is how you do it. We're going to start from two, and we're going to go to the end. And there's three choices you could have. There's three choices. One is if I don't pick the current element. So if I don't pick the current element, right, it'll just be the same as the last value, right? I'll just be like, okay, if I don't pick this, so let's say I have negative one, and negative one, right? And then I have one. That's I don't want to pick one. Well, if I don't want to pick one, and I don't want to pick this element, well, it'll just equal to the previous out of the previous sum, right, because if I start from negative two, I want to sum up the values for my subset. Those equal to the previous value of negative two. So that's why we have dp of I minus one. Okay, now the second choice is what we're going to do is if we increase our value, so we're going to add the current element to our current sum. So in this case, let's say I had negative two, and then three, right, so I have negative two, and then let's say I want to add the value three to my set of negative two. So in this case, I'll just add the value three here. So then the total sum of our maximum sum would be negative two plus three. Correct, it would be negative two plus three, because we're going to include include the current element in it. So this minus two represents like I minus two is going to represent the previous value of including the current element, right, I minus two. So I minus one is excluding, we're not going to include the current element. So we're just going to use the previous value. Since we're setting that previous value that as I minus one, I minus two is going to represent, including the current value, the current value. So I'm going to include the value of R of I of the current element. So that's why I do dp of I minus two plus our buy. And the third state you could have is, if I want to start a completely new sum. So if I want to start a completely new sum, so let's say let's say I have like, negative two, three and five, it's not that's bad value. Here, let's say I had one and five, right, one and five, include one and five. But also, I realized that three, and five is actually higher, right, three and five is higher. So in this case, what we're going to do is that we're going to start a new sum with our new value of our current element. So if I had like, I don't know, let's say I have one and negative four as a sum of negative three, and I want to start from one to five, right? In this case, if I start a new sum, then I'm going to have to go from like one, one, three is higher than one, right?  So that's R of I, right, that's the current element I'm on. So I represents the current L current index that we're going through the array, and R of I represents the current element that we're on. So if I want to start a new sum, then I need to just start it from itself, right, I'm not going to add any previous value. And I'm not going to just do that. So because we want the maximum sum, then we have to take the max of all three of these states. And then that will build up our DP array. And then our DP array will just the last element would just be the one that we actually want of our size minus one. So yeah, that's pretty much just this problem. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

This is why the narcissist doesn't come back. In a lot of situations they will come back in some shape or form. They will try to hoover you after they've discarded you or after you've tried to walk away. They will try to find their way back. And typically on average this may happen about 7 times before it's finally all over. But yes there are situations where there is no hoovering at all. They don't call you on the phone. They don't send you any text messages. They don't show up at your house or your work. They don't try to contact your family or friends. They don't do anything.  Yes there are situations where this will happen but it is actually quite rare. And if you are watching this right now the odds are that yes you are part of the rarity. You are of the few people where the narcissist doesn't come back at all. But you may find that after you've watched this video after some time it may be a few weeks, a few months. In some cases I've heard of the narcissist returning after 10 years. So you may find that in time they do come back. But yes there are some cases where they do not come back. And they leave you with this idea that there is something wrong with you. Like you are not good enough. Like no matter how much you work on yourself, no matter what you try to do you will never be good enough for them. That is how they end up making you feel when it is all over. When they discard you and when they move on.  And then they never came back to hoover you after that. And of course there are a few reasons for this. The main reason is because you are probably not susceptible to their manipulation. You are probably questioned and confronted with them. And these types of narcissists, they have big egos. They are very arrogant, very delusional. And the reason for that is because they think they are the best things in sliced bread. Many of them have a lot of options. They may not have much of a support network but who enable us but they do have other options that they are entertaining. Other people that they are involved with. And that is why it is so easy for them to let go of you. Because you have got to think we are talking about narcissists here. And I can tell you that a narcissist, they cannot go a day without supply. They have no inner sense of value, no sense of self. So their value comes from external things from other people. So they can never be alone. They always have to be around someone. But yes, this is why they won't come back. They won't hoover you. And if you are dealing with this type of narcissist, they can actually be quite attractive. The problem is that a lot of people want them. A lot of people occupy their time. So yeah, it will leave you feeling like you are not enough. Like something was wrong with you. But I can tell you that that wasn't the case at all. It is not because of you. As I said, they have no inner sense of value. They get their value from external things. They need a constant source of supply that is available to them 24-7. Someone who when they say jump, they will say how high. And they will jump to their beck and call. And yeah, they just set these impossible expectations that you can never measure up to. This image of perfection that they, these types of narcissists, they adhere to themselves a lot of times. They spend so much time on the physical appearance. They have to be this perfect character. They have to be everything that they think people want to see. And then they project their sense of themselves onto other people. Where they need their supply to be perfect. And then even then, that's not always enough. They need multiple supplies to be exactly what they need them to be. And when you think about it, sorry, I know it's noisy. As you probably noticed by now, no matter where I go, there's always a lot of these noisy bikes. I can't get away from that. I just tried to get away from all the noise up there as you can see. But it looks like there's really no way out of it. So I am sorry about this disruption. But there's not much I can do about it. I was just driving for an hour and 30 minutes to get here outside of the city because I know the last few videos were very noisy. But yeah, this is why these types of narcissists, they don't come back. They won't even hoover you even one time. Because they have other options. It's not just you.  They would never have left. And some of them, maybe they're more sociopathic, psychopathic. They may not have other supplies. Maybe they do set such a high standard for themselves. But it's very difficult for anyone to live up to. But because they have this set in their minds, they've already got this image in their heads of what they're looking for. And they're measuring up other people to that. People just can't live up to it. And sometimes they'll try and zone it in on you to make you feel like you're not good enough. But if you just look around, you'll see that there really aren't many people who even fit this image anyway.  It's very rarely anything that they've actually seen in reality. And yet they think that it's something that they can achieve. But it's not you. It's not because you're not good enough. Remember these types of narcissists, they are very superficial. They've got to have the best because deep down they are actually very insecure. And that is why they try to be the best for their target when they manipulate you. They will try to be everything that you could ever want them to be. Some of them may even be histrionic narcissists where they're always trying to entice you sexually to live up to your sexual fantasies. And they can really get a hold on you when they do that because it may be something that you've never experienced before. And you may believe that you're never going to experience that again with someone else.  Yes, as I said, it's not because you weren't good enough. It's not because of that at all. These are just people who need constant entertainment. They're always looking for the next new toy, the next bigger better deal. And they just set so many standards and expectations that people are just objects that have to live up to everything that they want them to be. When the reality is it's only because they're not good enough for themselves. And they'll never tell you that but then it's actually the truth. When someone holds such impossible expectations for another person it's just for you to compensate where they are deficient. That's all that there is. It's like they're looking at it like, yes, I know I'm never going to be that.  And then they want to live vicariously through you so then they can feel like they're actually doing something. But then even when you become that they'll try and keep you down anyway because that'll make them feel better about themselves. When they see you because first you might not be that high up in the beginning but then they hold you to these impossible expectations so you climb higher and higher.  Come back down from there. So, yeah, in a lot of ways there is no really a way that they can win because it's like in one moment they want you to be better to compensate for their deficiencies. And then in another moment they want to bring you back down because then you'll make them feel insecure. But it's the process of bringing you down in that moment. It acts as a distraction and it helps them to feel not really secure but it just distracts them from their insecurities during that process. So they constantly need that process. They can't really take pleasure in you becoming better. Even though it seems that they're pushing you in that direction what they're really doing is just holding in on your insecurities and deficiencies which is something that we all have, knowing is perfect. We all have things that we can work on but you want to feel like you are perfect to someone to some extent that you will never have that with a narcissist. You will never feel like that because they don't feel perfect for themselves. They feel like there's always something they're missing. They're never satisfied, they always want more. And there is really nothing you can do about that. It's just the way that it is. And it is for these reasons that they won't come back. They won't move again. And while at times you may wish that they would you just become this reflection of their own insecurities. That's all that tends to happen in the end. It's like they want you to be better, they want you to be more. The better you become, the more insecure they become. And then they just end up wanting to destroy you just so that they can take all of these qualities and traits that you had and project and assign them to another person and try and make another person you.  There's no two ways about it. It's the only thing they can do. In the end when they get triggered, when they feel inferior they will just automatically lash out at you to try to gain control. So when that happens they have no choice but to take everything good about you and try to assign it to someone else. Even though that may not be what they want to do but they're so impulsive and reckless they can't really control it. They really struggle to control their own actions.  It's just what narcissists do. It's what separates us from narcissists because of course we don't want to go out and do that. We don't want to go out and do that at all. We're trying to build. We're trying to cooperate with people, make things better. That's what we're trying to do. But narcissists know they're not trying to do that.  Because by default all a narcissist can do when they come around you is take, take, take. Because as I said they have no sense of identity, they have no inner sense of value. They take this from other people.  And then they will disown parts of themselves and assign them to you. And then use these parts of you to build their own character which they will use to hold an authoritative position over you. From everything that they've learned about you and what you're about because they have been studying you for a long time. And when they're studying you they see, yes okay this is good, this is bad, I'll take this, I'll take that. I won't take this because this isn't good. And then they use these things to build a character. And that's why at times it seems like they're so strong and powerful because they've stolen parts of you and assigned them to themselves and they've disown parts of themselves and assigned them to you. So you switch roles. But whenever you feel confident in yourself and in your own identity they can't touch you. And that's the same thing whenever they're being themselves there's really not much they can do. There's really not much they can do. I am sweating a bit here. It's very hot today. I enjoy that little walk. But yeah don't let it get to you. I know a lot of you have experienced this. It's hard sometimes.  Like they never even cared about you and the reality is they never did. They can't attach to people properly. They can't experience deeper more meaningful connections. And you can and it just makes them feel inferior every time that they're around you. It just makes them feel bad about themselves. But then they also can't fully detach so they never really move on. A lot of times although they don't come back they may still be thinking about you. And yes they may be wishing that they could come back. But if they know that you've figured them out you're not going to give them another chance. They're not going to put themselves in that position. Where they may be rejected. Where they will feel humiliated by you. Especially publicly. Their false image is very important to them. They don't want to look bad. And if you're not going to validate the false self then yes they do fear that you may threaten to expose them. Which is another thing that they greatly fear. And sometimes they may have taken a fall. They may be in a situation that is getting progressively worse after you left or after they discarded you. And they just don't want you to see that. They don't want you to have the last laugh. If they're going to leave and ever come back they want to do it in a way where you think that they're riding off to the sunset. You think that things are getting better for them. And that's why they left you behind. Yeah they might want you to think these things but that doesn't mean that it's reality. Whatever they want you to think it's typically the opposite. They never want you to know exactly what is going on. Especially when things are very unfavorable for them. So yeah it doesn't happen too often. I mean narcissists they do typically tend to hoover. At least once. Sometimes up to seven times maybe more. Until it's finally all over. Yes in these rare situations. Some narcissists they don't hoover at all. They don't call, they don't text. They don't try to come back. They don't try to get you back. They just give up from the very beginning because they have other options that they believe to be more susceptible than you were. So that's it. This is why the narcissists doesn't come back.

the recording is started. Good morning once again and welcome to the class on Identity BC 110. So even before we could begin with a class, we can start the class with a word of prayer. Dear God, we surrender ourselves and this day into Your hands. We are thankful Lord that You are with us. You're leading us and You're guiding us. Lord, we thank You that we are able to identify ourself in You. We are growing in this understanding of being identified in You, O Father. Thank You that the work that You did on the cross, Lord, that we are able to relate ourself, restore us back with God, one with God, O Lord. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. So we are on page 57, section 5, Identity with Christ. So how are we identified with Christ? Okay, today we're going to talk on two topics, substitution and identification. So what do we mean by substitution? When we say substitute or substitution, what do we mean by substitution? Sorry? Replaced. Okay, okay, okay. We understand the substitution where one person is replaced instead of another. There's a substitute, one on behalf of other or many. So here in this place, we're going to see that one person has become a substitute towards many, for many. So we see that Christ, the sinless one, the righteous God, who died for our sins on the cross and He has become the substitute for us, for each of us, where through Christ, our sins have been forgiven. We have been made righteous and where we have been restored back to God. So there is another truth in the scripture when we talk about identification. What is that? Can we turn to Romans chapter 5 verse 12 and 19. Romans chapter 5 verse 12 and 19. Okay, Romans chapter 5 verse 12 and 19. It goes like this. Verse 12, therefore, just as through one man, sin entered the world and death through sin and thus death spread to all men because all sinned. So what happened here? Just as though one man sinned, just through one man, the sin entered the world and death through sinned and then this death spread to all men because all men sinned. And verse 19, it says, for as by one man's disobedience, one man disobeyed and many were made sinners. So also by one man's obedience, many will be made righteousness. Now what happened here? What is Paul trying to say to the church in Romans? Through one man, Adam, the sin entered. He disobeyed and the sin entered to all men, to all the natural man. And what happened? Through one man's obedience, through one man's obedience, now everyone have been made righteous. Now it's easy for us to believe like Adam sinned and because of that, the natural man, the death entered. So through one man's sin or through one man's disobedience, like everyone are made sinners and the death entered the natural. So it's easy to believe that but it takes the belief on God for us to accept this truth saying that as how through one man death entered, it is a game through one man. Through one man, we have been made righteous. So that's what Paul says. You know, we need to renew our mind in the book of Corinthians. He says we need to renew our mind with the word of God so that we can understand this truth and identify ourselves with Christ. It is very important that we can identify ourselves with Christ and exercise and accept the truth that we have been made righteous. We have been made righteous because there's a substitution that has happened. There's an exchange that has happened on the cross where Jesus took our place on the cross and he died for each of us, for each of us that he died on the cross. So we need to understand the truth that happened. We need to understand the spiritual exchange that happened on the cross. So in one Corinthians, 1 Corinthians chapter 15, when we turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 21 to 22 and later we can read from verse 45 to 49. Okay, I hope everyone have turned. So verse 21 and 22 says, for since by one man came death, by one by man also came the resurrection of death. Verse 22, for as in Adam all died, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. That's a good news, isn't it? Through one man the death entered and again through the one man Jesus Christ who was resurrected and we have the resurrection of death. Now the second verse that is verse 22 says, for as in Adam all died, Adam all died, but in Christ we have been made alive. We have been made alive. It is talking about the spiritual death and spiritual life. Okay, spiritually the man died when Adam sinned and now in Christ we have been redeemed. In Christ we have been made alive and we have a new life. This is the life that Paul talks about new creation. He says in Christ we are the new creation. So verse 45, can we turn to first Corinthians chapter 15 verse 45? Okay, we will read in our notes it's from verse 47, but we'll just read it before. So it is written, the first man Adam became a living being, the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. The first man was a living being, that's it, but the last Adam, that is Jesus, became the life-giving spirit through whom each of us can live. Well, we move on to verse 46. However, the spiritual is not first, right? The spiritual was not first, but the natural. How was Adam created? Adam was created from dust. Okay, so he was a natural person and afterward a spiritual person came. So Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was not created by a dust or by human, but he was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. That's what the scripture says. The scripture says every word that has been recorded has been breathed by God, right? It's been recorded, it's been breathed by God. It is God's breath, it's God's word.  So he was a spiritual man, okay? Yeah, so we will continue. 47. The first man was of the earth made of dust, but the second man is the Lord from heaven. He's the Lord from heaven. 48. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust. And as in the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly. So what does it say? The first man, the natural man was created from dust. So he'll get back to dust. So because he was created in dust, he was in the image, the natural man. We all took the same image, right? What happened? And as the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly. So when we believe in Jesus, we also become more like him. Now verse 49 says, and as we have born the image of the man of dust, so as we carry the bond of the image of the natural man was created from dust, we also shall bear the image of the heavenly man. The same manner, when we believe in Jesus, we also carry the image of the heavenly man. So what happened here? So those who believe in the second man, that's the last Adam, we have the free gift. We have the free gift when we believe in the second man. That's the last Adam, Jesus Christ. So what happened? The free gift brings the grace of God over each of us. So what is this free gift? The gift of righteousness. We were once sinners. Now when we believe in Jesus, the work that he did on the cross, so there's a divine exchange that took place on the cross. So what happened? A sin nature. A sin nature, God takes a sin nature and puts it up on Jesus and the righteousness of God, the righteousness of God comes over us. So when God looks at each of us, he sees in the image of the second man or the last Adam that we have been made righteous in Christ. And what happens?  So what does John 3.16 says? Can anyone read John 3.16? For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. What is the next verse? Whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. So we believe in Jesus, the work that he did on the cross, have the access for this eternal life. Whoever believes in him shall not die, but have eternal life. It's not talking about the natural death, it's talking about a spiritual life. We will live one with Christ in them. So one man sinned and we are always made sinners. But through one man's death, we have been made righteous and have the access for the eternal life. So we have been made alive. So what does Paul says in Corinthians? Second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. Second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. I think I should keep this open. Okay, second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. What does it say? Therefore if anyone is in Christ, it says therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. So what happened here? The old things have passed away and behold all things have become new. So this is what Paul says that when you believe there is a divine exchange that took place on the cross. So the death nature of man has gone away and here we have become live in Christ and we have the access for the eternal life. How did we get access to this eternal life through one man's obedience? One man obeyed and many were made righteous. Now when we believe John 3.16, when we believe on this one man Jesus Christ who died on the cross for you and me, there's a divine exchange. Our sin has been taken up on the cross and the righteousness of Jesus has been put over us. There is a divine exchange. Now what happened many years ago, many years ago, we talk about substitution, what happened many years ago? Six thousand years ago when the man was created, he disobeyed and he died. The death entered the natural realm and whereas all the human, everyone who had been born on this earth carried death. Now how that has been effective and how the natural man experienced that death, the same manner two thousand years ago or two thousand twenty two years ago, the last Adam, one man obeyed and he died on the cross for each of us. He took away all our sins and he died on the cross and there's a divine exchange that happened. And here when we believe in Jesus, there's an eternal life. That's what the scripture says. How six thousand years ago the disobedience was effective the same way two thousand twenty two years ago when one man obeyed, the eternal life is effective to every mankind.  You have access to it. So we have been identified in Christ. So this is not something that suddenly God thought about a new plan and God created. No, God is all knowing, right? He's omniscient. He knows everything. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows it. So this whole thing was in God's mind. This new creation was in God's mind. How to bring it through Christ was in God's mind and God planned it in the right way. In the right time, God brought in Jesus Christ who can redeem the mankind because God loved us people. God loved the world. So we see in scripture that teaches us that because we are in Christ, we have been identified in Christ. Now, how are we identified in Christ? In His crucification, in His death, in His burial, in His resurrection, in His ascension, in the exaltation or where Jesus has been taken the position where He's been seated at the right hand of Father. We have the access. When we identify ourselves, when we accept ourselves that Jesus is a Lord and Savior, this is what happens. So let's turn to Romans chapter 6. We're going to read through this chapter so that we can understand this chapter better. Romans chapter 6 so that we can understand how are we identified in Christ, okay? So Paul explains this to us through Romans chapter 6. We need to look at the entire chapter. Let's turn to Romans 6. Yeah, verse 1 to 23. Okay. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Shall we continue in sin? Now we just take this as an example. Now we are believed in Christ, okay? We have accepted Jesus as a Lord and Savior. So when we believe, every person, we have an old nature, isn't it? Should we continue in our old nature? We have God's grace, isn't it? God's grace is to forgive his children. We have accepted Jesus as a Lord and Savior. Now we have the access to God. We are the child of God. So can being a child of God continue in that sin nature and expect God to forgive us or can we expect that the grace of God is there upon us and he will forgive us? So this is what Paul explains to the Romans church. In chapter 1 it says, what shall we say then shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Verse 2 he says, certainly not. Certainly not. How shall we, how shall we would die to sin live any longer in it? For example, let's look at this illustration. If there's an alcoholic, there's a person who's been addicted to alcohol or it can be any kind of addiction. It can be alcohol or smoking or drugs. It can be anything that this person has been addicted to. And now this person dies. No matter how expensive an alcohol could be, if you get and give it to that person, can he consume that? Can he consume that? Can he drink? No matter how expensive the cigarettes could be, if he give it to him or drugs could be, if you give it to him, can he take that? Why do you think he can't take that? Because he's been dead. He's died. He's died. The same way when we receive Jesus as a Lord and Savior, that's what the scripture says in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 we just read, that all things have passed away. We have been died to our old things. In the old we have become new. We have been birthed new. We have been born new. We have been born again. When we receive Jesus as a Lord and Savior, we have been born again in him. So the old man nature though, old nature in us are dead. We need to take up the new man's nature, the Christ nature, the fruit of the spirit. So we need to believe this. The enemy may bring in a lot of lies. No. See you remember the old nature that was in you and you know it comes up but you need to tell yourself and remind yourself time and again that this nature has no power over me. Why? Because I am a child of God. I identify myself in Christ Jesus. This nature, the old nature is not in Christ. The old nature is not in Christ. It can be any kind of addiction. It can be anger, jealousy. It can be anything. Those nature which are not of Christ has no power over us. It has lost this grip. It has lost this power over us and we need to embrace this truth for to exercise the new life, for us to exercise or reign in the life of Christ, to reign in the life of new creation. We need to believe this. Mark 923 says, what does it say? Mark 923. Turn to your Bibles. Online you can post the scripture on the chat. Read it loud. If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. So if you believe, all things are possible. It means what? When you believe, you take part in the new things. Apostle Paul says in the Corinthians, in the book of, in the letter to Corinthians he says, for you to live in this new creation, for you to live this new life, you need to renew your mind. So how do we renew your mind? By reading the word of God again and again, by believing what the word says about each of us, that we are the new creation. All things have passed away. The sin nature that was in me has no power. We have been died. We have died to sin and we become, we have life in the nature of Christ. We have become live in the nature of Christ. So the fruit of the spirit should be birthed in us, where we develop, we allow it to grow. So what you feed in you is what you see yourself. You are not right. This is not the nature of God. So God has put the wisdom into every man. So how do we know this is the nature of God or this isn't? There's a natural sense, consciousness. We all have the self-consciousness. For example, last class I gave you all about a child being born new. So the child cries for different reasons. It can cry because of hunger. It can cry for milk or for stomach pain. It also cries when the mother carries another baby. So what do you call this? You see there's a jealousy. So who put jealousy into the child? There's something called naturally been born. So this nature will lose its power when we not give into it. When we don't give into it. So God has given us the wisdom for us to know what is right from wrong. And we need to develop our self to grow in the nature of God, to grow in the gifts of the spirit, I mean in the fruit of the spirit so that the nature of God, the new creation is we are part of this new creation and we can identify our self with Christ. So we will move on to the next verse. Do you not know that as many of us as we baptized into Christ Jesus, we're baptized into His death. This is a very self-explanatory chapter. We can understand it as we read through. See, as many of us we're baptized in Christ Jesus, we're baptized into His death. This is what we believe and we are baptized. We get into the water. What's happening? There's an immersion. We have been fully immersed into the water saying that we take part in the death burial and the resurrection of Christ. So in chapter four, I mean verse four, we see that. Chapter six verse four, therefore, if we were buried with Him through the baptism in death, that just as Christ was raised from death by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life. So just as our Jesus was raised from the death by the power of the Father, by the glory of the Father, so should we walk in this newness of life. Because now we believe that we have been taken part in this death burial and the resurrection and we have Christ who lives in us and we need to walk in this newness of life. How do we walk intentionally, being aware, identifying ourselves in Christ? Well, that's fine. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection. If we are taking part in the likeness of His death, certainly we should believe that we also been part of the likeness of resurrection. So knowing this, that our old man has been crucified in Christ, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. So we need to identify ourselves here. We need to believe on this truth that the sin has no power over us, over our mind, our body. It has no power. It has lost the grip and we have been made new in Christ. The newness of Christ is in us and we need to walk in that. Eighth, now if we die with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. So when you know that we have died in Christ, now we should also know that we need to live in Him. Mindful of knowing that Christ is in me and I need to reflect His nature. Okay. Now verse nine, knowing that Christ, having been raised from death, dies no more. Death no longer as dominion over us. The old man has died. The old nature has died and that has no dominion over us. We need to believe in that. Ten, for the death that he died, that is Jesus, he died to sin once for all. For the life that he lives, it lives to God. So once and for all that Jesus died on the cross so that we don't have to work towards that. Jesus has already done it on the cross. We can receive only by believing on the work that he did and receive the newness of life in us and walk in that.  Verse 12, therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey it in its lust. Verse 12 is very important. Now whatever we spoke when it says, therefore, remember that Jesus died on the cross and we have died to our old nature. Now Jesus is, Jesus raised and he seated at the right end of the Father and we have been resulted in that and we have to walk in the newness of life. Now with that in mind verse 12 Paul says, do not let sin reign in your mortal body that means there's an action required here. Doesn't happen automatically. The sin nature that was in us can only get power when we give it, when we allow it. The minute you speak to that nature get out of me. Renew your mind and walk in the nature of Christ. Now the sin has no power. It's not like once till you overcome that area you may have to exercise that. You may have to exercise in that area to overcome with the grace of God. God's grace is there. God will strengthen you to overcome that sin nature in you. Now you're not alone. You are with Christ that you can overcome that sin nature which is in you. But if you give in that takes the power. Do not verse 13 and do not present the members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin but present yourself to God as being alive from death and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. Verse 14 for sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under the grace. There are sometimes people say oh I left, I quit smoking, I quit drinking but then I'm not able to. I'm not able to. That habit is not, I mean that nature is not I mean leaving me. I'm again and again getting back to it. No, you need to believe yourself that nature has no power. That nature has no power. We need to believe that that nature has no power over us. That has lost the grip over us. Thank God the power's back. I think the class is bright and clear. Yeah. So verse 15, what happened? What then shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace. Certainly not. Do you not know that to whom you present yourself slaves to obey? You are not the one slave from slaves whom you obey whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness. Paul is asking a question. Do you not know that to whom you present yourself as slaves that you should obey? You don't have to obey the sin that leads to death but we need to obey the righteousness which is leading to new life, new creation. So verse 17, but God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that forms of doctrine to which you were delivered. You are Paul is saying he's thanking God that though we were slaves to sin, yet we obeyed from the heart and took form that form of doctrine. Doctrine is the word of God, the gospel that was preached to the people in Romans to which you were delivered and 18 saying and having been set free from sin you became slaves of righteousness. So we need to have this understanding that we have been set free from sin. Sin has no grip over us. The minute we believe this we become the slaves of righteousness. No more we are slaves to sin but we are slaves to righteousness. Verse 19, so I speak in human terms because of the weakness of our flesh for just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness. So now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. So we need to believe and present ourselves to the righteousness of for holiness. Now verse 20, for when you were slaves of sin you were free in regard to righteousness. 21, what fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed for the end of those things is death? Now when we look back at our old nature, can we realize those things would have led only to death, those things would have just destroyed us? What did we get? What fruit did we get from that? Was it good? Was it good? No, isn't it? But here Paul is saying in verse 22, but now having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness and the end of this is everlasting life. Now when we identify ourselves in Christ, we have been set free from that sin nature, we are no more slaves of sin, but now we have become slaves of God and now we can bear the fruit of holiness. Now what is God's nature? Holy and now we can bear that nature in us. We have fruit of holiness in us and which will eventually end in everlasting life. Verse 23 says the wages of sin is death. Very important. 23, please highlight it. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, the gift of God. So what is it? Here in the verse, you know, we see Paul been talking that just give me a minute, which verses that, yeah, verse 17. Verse 17, we see that Paul is talking about, but God we thank that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you were delivered. So what does this word form mean? So in Greek, this word form means which takes a shape. Form means to obey, take shape, take be molded into. Now anything you pour into this bottle will take the shape of this container, right? Any substance that has been poured into this bottle will take the shape of this bottle the same thing. Anything has been poured into us or into God will take the shape of God. So that's what Paul says, take the form of doctrine when the word of God, when we are poured into the word of God, we take the shape of the word of God, we form into his nature into his likeness. We strive towards become perfect like Christ to be holy like God. So we try to lead a life that is pleasing God, pleasing him. So we are dead to sin. We are dead to sin and we have been made life to the righteousness of God. That's what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5.17 that therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. All things have passed away and behold all things have become new. So we become new in Christ and Paul is very empathetic in saying that the sin nature has no power over us because we have been born new in Christ. We have taken part in the death, burial, the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension and exaltation of Christ. So if Christ, if we believe that we are in Christ at the time of crucifixion on the cross, can you just, I know we all are gifted with the imagination. You can imagine yourself. Now you are inside Christ on the crucifixion and you can identify yourself with Christ on the cross and then in his death, in his burial and in his resurrection and in his exaltation that he's been seated at the right hand of God. Now you can identify yourself at the right hand of God seated in Christ. This is the truth of identification. This is the truth that you are not an ordinary being. You are not ordinary. You have been identified in Christ. You are living in Christ. That's why Paul says the sin nature has no power. Was there any sin nature in Christ? Did we see spotted as the scriptures spot out any sin nature in Christ? The same way, the Christ who lives in us will lead us from that nature. He will help us. He'll give us the grace to overcome every sin nature that we wear. We have heard so many testimonies from people around us or around the world that the minute they receive Jesus as the Lord and Savior, for some it was instant. They were healed, experienced the breakthrough from the bondages, from the curse or from any kind of addiction. But as some of them had their own taken the time to overcome those natures. Now it's not only the outside about the smoking, drinking or any other kind of addiction, but the sin nature also about certain things that are within us like jealousy, envy, anger, pornography. It can be anything, masturbation. It can be anything, the area that one has been addicted to and asking God to deliver. The minute you receive Christ, that which was giving you pleasure. Now in this new creation life, you're not having the same thing. And those nature, those sinful nature has no power over you. It has lost its grip over you.  All you need to say is enemy, you have no power over me. I am of God. I am the body of Christ. I have the mind of Christ and you have no power over me. Why you're able to say what you're able to say? Because you are identifying yourself with Christ. And now Christ who is in you is empowering you to be more like him. He's strengthening you to be more like him. And this whole nature has no power and we have become new in Christ. So we have been identified in Christ. How? We are crucified with Christ. So the body of sin was destroyed. What happened? We are crucified with Christ and the body of sin was destroyed. We have been buried with Christ and separated from the past life. We have been resurrected with Christ and we have been given new life. We are raised up into heavens with Christ and separated from the present age or the world. And lastly, we have been seated with Christ where we can position to rule and reign in our life. So this is what we need to believe. We need to identify in our Christ so that the sin nature has no power. Jesus has become our substitute and we have been identified in him. Okay? So with that, we will end the session and next class, we can talk in detail about the Crucification, Burial Resurrection, and Ascension and Jesus being seated at the Christ. We can talk on each of these points in detail and we can end this class with a word of prayer. Dear God, we thank you that you have expanded our mind and given us the understanding to understand the truth of your word, to understand the divine exchange that took place on the cross. Father, we thank you for Jesus, for the work that he did on the cross for each of us, our Father. Lord, we pray that you will expand our mind, that we may understand this divine exchange and walk in that, embrace this new life and walk in fullness of it, our Father. We pray over each of our students that they will experience the love of God, experience the newness in their life and work free from every sin nature and embrace the new life that has been given through Jesus Christ. Lord, thank you, Father. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you for joining in today's session. I hope it was a blessing. Thank you and God bless.
