The Psychology Behind Hashish

Aleister Crowley

Sinopse

In "The Psychology Behind Hashish," Aleister Crowley delves into the intricate relationship between mind-altering substances and the human psyche. Through a blend of anecdotal evidence, philosophical musings, and psychological analysis, Crowley articulates the profound effects of hashish on perception, creativity, and spiritual enlightenment. Written in the early 20th century, the book reflects the era's burgeoning interest in psychoactive substances and their potential for unlocking hidden dimensions of consciousness, underpinned by Crowley's distinctively ornate and evocative literary style. Aleister Crowley, an enigmatic figure often labeled as a magician, mystic, and philosopher, was heavily influenced by his explorations into Eastern religions, occult practices, and the human experience of transcendental states. His own experimentation with psychoactive substances informed his understanding and interpretations of altered states of consciousness, leading him to produce this compelling work. Crowley's background in psychology, coupled with his deep-seated beliefs regarding the nature of reality and spirituality, provides a rich foundation for his insights in this book. "The Psychology Behind Hashish" is recommended for both academic audiences and general readers interested in the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and substance use. Crowley's nuanced exploration challenges assumptions about drug use while illuminating the complexities of the human experience. This essential read not only expands the discourse surrounding psychoactive substances but also invites readers to reflect on their own consciousness.

All the Living and the Dead -...

Hayley Campbell

"Journalist Hayley Campbell explores the often hidden world of those who work closely with death, finding compassion in unexpected settings. Campbell’s British accent and matter-of-fact delivery take the listener on a tour of mortuaries, postmortem experimentation, death-mask artistry, crime-scene cleaning, and executions, among others. Her morbid fascination is evident in her tone as she sheds light on curiosities surrounding a subject that is foreign to many people. Ultimately, Campbell calls for a closer relationship to death, less mystery surrounding this universal passage, and a reduction of fear through greater understanding."- AudioFile on All the Living and the Dead"Campbell is a probing investigator whose tone is always even, quietly emphasizing that death is the most natural thing in the world."- BookpageThis audiobook is read by the author.A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people—morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners—who work in it and what led them there.We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.Through Campbell’s incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden? A dazzling work of cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, to offer listeners a fascinating look into the psychology of Western death.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

Life After Capitalism - The...

George Gilder

For over two-hundred years, capitalist systems have overtaken the global economy, spreading near-universal growth and opening the floodgates for limitless human potential. 
 
 
 
Yet something is going terribly wrong in the world economy. 
 
 
 
Creativity and faith in the future have been traded for a slippery slope of cautionary paranoia, popular despair, and political overreach by leaders who promise to hold back the tides, control the weather, and print prosperity with little clue as to what is actually going on. 
 
 
 
This divergence did not begin with the Obama administration, the Trump presidency, the Gates Foundation, or George Soros, says leading futurist George Gilder. The cognitive dissonance and its harvest of confusion and despair reflects a deep misunderstanding at the heart of capitalism itself. 
 
 
 
In Life After Capitalism, national bestselling author George Gilder explains how economics is not an incentive system but an information system. Redefining capitalism for the modern age, he reveals how free enterprise is a mind driven system, material resources are essentially as infinite as atoms, and what governs economic growth is human creativity—not merely a Marxist class struggle for power.
