    It would be hard if not outright impossible to overstate the impact Roman Emperor Constantine I had on the history of Christianity, ancient Rome, and Europe as a whole. Best known as Constantine the Great, the kind of moniker only earned by rulers who have distinguished themselves in battle and conquest, Constantine remains an influential and controversial figure to this day. He achieved enduring fame by being the first Roman emperor to personally convert to Christianity, and for his notorious Edict of Milan, the imperial decree which legalized the worship of Christ and promoted religious freedom throughout the Empire. More than 1500 years after Constantine’s death, Abdu'l-Bahá, the head of the Bahá'í Faith, wrote, “His blessed name shines out across the dawn of history like the morning star, and his rank and fame among the world's noblest and most highly civilized is still on the tongues of Christians of all denominations” 
    	However, it can be argued that despite his military successes – the most notable of which occurred fighting for supremacy against other Romans – Constantine may well have set the stage for the ultimate collapse of the Roman Empire as it had existed up until that point. It was Constantine who first decided that Rome, exposed and vulnerable near the gathering masses of barbarians moving into Germania and Gaul, was a strategically unsafe base for the Empire, and thus expanded the city of New Rome on the Dardanelles straits, creating what eventually became Constantinople. By moving the political, administrative and military capital of the Empire from Rome to the East, as well as the Imperial court with all its attendant followers, Constantine laid the groundwork for the eventual schism which saw the two parts of the Roman Empire become two entirely separate entities, go their own way, and eventually collapse piecemeal under repeated waves of invasion.

    Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

    Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
    In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
    Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
    Inside, you’ll learn: 
    What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
    Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
    How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
    What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
    And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
    If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
    Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

    Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest.Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life.Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live.For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat.When you shake your head unconsciously, look away when lying, or suddenly get an inspiring thought "out of the blue," these are all signs that your subconscious is at work.Additionally, you may not even be aware of the ideas and emotions stored in your subconscious, yet they can have a significant impact on your behavior and general well-being.
