Aleister Crowley

Sinopsis

In "The Psychology of Hashish," Aleister Crowley delves into the intricate relationship between mind-altering substances and the human psyche. This seminal work is a blend of personal memoir, philosophical inquiry, and psychological analysis, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century exploration of consciousness. Crowley wields a lyrical and at times provocative literary style, inviting readers to contemplate the nature of reality and perception shaped by hashish. Influenced by the burgeoning interest in psychoactive experiences and their impact on spiritual practices, the text offers an engaging discourse on addiction, creativity, and mysticism, positioning hashish as a crucial element in the quest for deeper self-awareness and transcendence. Aleister Crowley, an enigmatic figure in the realms of occultism and counterculture, was driven by his fascination with the occult and the psychological implications of altered states of consciousness. His extensive travels and experiences with various spiritual traditions, combined with his own practice of magick, enriched his understanding of how substances could unlock hidden dimensions of the mind. Crowley'Äôs background in philosophy, combined with a radical viewpoint on morality and ethics, uniquely shaped his approach in "The Psychology of Hashish," intertwining observations about society, spirituality, and personal epiphanies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and the exploration of consciousness. Crowley's daring insights challenge conventional thinking and invite readers to ponder their own perceptions of reality. "The Psychology of Hashish" is not only relevant to scholars of psychology and spirituality but also to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the effects of substances on the human experience.

The Rivalry Peril - How...

Van Jackson, Michael Brenes

How the US policy of competition with China is detrimental to democracy, peace, and prosperity—and how a saner approach is possible 
 
 
  
For close to a decade, the US government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will "eat our lunch," in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China's military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability. 
 
 
  
This in-depth assessment of the trade-offs and pitfalls of protracted competition with China reveals how such a policy exacerbates inequality, leads to xenophobia, and increases the likelihood of violence around the world. In addition, it distracts from the priority of addressing such issues as climate change while at the same time undercutting democratic pluralism and sacrificing liberty in the name of prevailing against an enemy "other." Jackson and Brenes provide an informed and urgent critique of current US foreign policy and a road map toward a saner, more democratically accountable strategy of easing tension and achieving effective diplomacy.

Peter the Great

Kelly Mass

From May the 7th, in 1682 till his death in 1725, Peter the Great or Pyotr Alekséyevich governed the Tsardom of Russia and ultimately the Russian Empire, collectively ruling before 1696 with his older half-brother, Ivan V.He got ports on the Azov and Baltic Seas through a series of triumphant disputes, creating the structure for the Imperial Russian Navy, ending undisputed Swedish control in the Baltic, and launching the Tsardom's development into a much larger empire that would end up being a major European force. He was the leader of a cultural revolution that saw some standard and middle ages social and political structures changed with modern-day, clinical, Westernized, and Enlightenment-based systems. Peter's reforms had a long-lasting effect on Russia, and tons of the Russian federal government's organizations can be traced back to his reign. In 1721, he changed the former title of Tsar with the title of Emperor, and he created and broadened the city of Saint Petersburg, which stayed Russia's capital till 1917.Peter the Great has had a significance influence on the structure of Russia, the history, and the future in the succeeding decades after him. Let’s see what else he did while he was alive.
