Summary

In "Atheism Among the People," Alphonse de Lamartine delves into the philosophical and societal ramifications of atheism in 19th-century France. Written in a reflective and lyrical prose style, Lamartine employs a blend of personal anecdotes, historical context, and philosophical discourse to explore the growing prevalence of atheistic thought among the populace. This work is a critical response to the age of Enlightenment and the emerging secularism that challenged religious beliefs, offering a nuanced commentary on faith, morality, and the human condition. Lamartine's eloquence and depth portray the tension between reason and spirituality, marking a significant contribution to the discourse surrounding religion and belief during a transformative era in European history. Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869) was not only a poet and statesman but also an influential figure in the Romantic movement. His personal experiences, including a rich interplay with spirituality and a deep interest in social reform, informed his exploration of existential themes in literature. This intersection of personal conviction and literary expression led Lamartine to investigate the implications of atheism on society, drawing from his diverse background in politics, art, and philosophy. This compelling work invites readers to reflect on critical questions regarding faith, purpose, and the human spirit. Recommended for scholars and general readers alike, "Atheism Among the People" serves as a thoughtful examination of belief in an age caught between tradition and modernity, making it essential reading for those interested in literary and theological studies.

    Simplicity comes into being when there is freedom from the desire to achieve 
    • One who is sincere can never be simple because he who is trying to be sincere always has the desire to pattern or approximate himself to an idea. 
    • Self-knowledge can be discovered more fully, deeply, widely, only when there is passive awareness, which is not the exertion of will. 
    • In the search for self-knowledge we get caught in self-consciousness. Being caught we make the thing in which one is caught the most important thing. 
    • To go beyond self-consciousness there must be freedom from the desire to achieve a result, because the achievement of a result is what the mind wants. 
    • Q: Would you please explain what you mean by dying daily? 
    • Q: How does a truth when repeated become a lie? What really is a lie? 
    • Q: I think I can help, but whatever I say or do to another is interpreted as interference and as domineering. Why does this happen to me?

    For centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. In the heart of Jerusalem sat one of the shining jewels of the Christian faith, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Legend has it that this was where their Savior had been buried before his fabled resurrection. What was more, it was said to house the very cross Jesus Christ had died upon. It was for precisely these reasons that fearless pilgrims, near and far, risked their lives and made the treacherous trek to Jerusalem.  
    	The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. 
    	The knights of the Teutonic Order have since been compared to the surreal creature that appeared to the biblical Ezekiel, one that bore 2 faces – one of a man's, and one of a lion's. The human side of the creature is said to symbolize the order's charity, whereas the lion was a metaphor for its valor and gallant spirit, which they relied on to vanquish the heathens of the world. 	Like other secretive groups, the mystery surrounding these military orders helped their legacies endure. While some conspiracy theorists attempt to tie the groups to other alleged secret societies like the Illuminati, other groups have tried to assert connections with them to bolster their own credentials.

    A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner “parts” into harmony and allows our core Self to lead We’re all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgment—yet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartz’s breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an “internal family” of distinct parts—and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal.  Over the past two decades, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS presents the ideal layperson’s guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery and healing. Here, Dr. Schwartz shares evidence, case studies, and self-care tools to help you: • Shift from the limiting “mono-mind” paradigm into an appreciation of your marvelous, multidimensional nature • Unburden your wounded parts from extreme beliefs, emotions, and addictions • Demystify the most commonly misunderstood parts—the Exiles, Managers, and Firefighters • Transform your most challenging parts from inner obstacles to invaluable allies • Embrace the existence of innate human goodness—in yourself and others • Connect with the true Self that is greater than the sum of your parts “The most wonderful discovery I have made is that as you do this work, you release, or liberate, what I call your Self or your True Self—the calm, compassionate essence of who you are,” says Dr. Schwartz. “When the Self becomes the leading intelligence in our lives, we create more harmony—both within ourselves and in our external lives.” For therapists, their clients, and anyone interested in understanding and healing themselves, here is an essential guide to a revolutionary approach to self-realization, mental wellness, and transformation.

    Have you ever wondered how to tell a brig from a barque? Or a sprat from a sardine? How salt is made and when Trinity House was founded? The answers to these and much more will be found within these pages. 
    Shortlisted for the Amberley Press Publishing Prize. Curlew Coast is the author’s second book about East Anglia’s maritime past. Using the coastal towns of Suffolk as a framework, the book explores a diversity of subjects from rope making to ship burials and from coastal erosion to the early navigators. Illustrated throughout with the author’s sketches, Curlew Coast covers the period from when the Anglo-Saxons first sailed up the East Anglian rivers, to the age of the railway when the engine began to take over from sail. 
    The author lives in Norfolk with memories of many happy hours sailing off the Suffolk coast and its rivers. A lifelong interest in traditional boats, sailing and maritime history has resulted in this unusual and engaging book.
