  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz.
   
  The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine is a widely reproduced alchemical book attributed to Basil Valentine. It was first published in 1599 by Johann Thölde who is likely the book's true author. It is presented as a sequence of alchemical operations encoded allegorically in words, to which images have been added. The first Basil Valentine book to discuss the keys is Ein kurtz summarischer Tractat, von dem grossen Stein der Uralten ("A Short Summary Tract: Of the great stone of the ancients"), 1599. The first part of the book is a discussion of general alchemical principles and advice about the philosopher's stone. The second half of Ein kurtz summarischer Tractat, under the subtitle "The Twelve Keys", contains twelve short chapters. Each chapter, or "key", is an allegorical description of one step in the process by which the philosopher's stone may be created. With each step, the symbolic names (Deckname, or code name) used to indicate the critical ingredients are changed, just as the ingredients themselves are transformed. The keys are written in such a fashion as to conceal as well as to illuminate: only a knowledgeable reader or alchemical adept was expected to correctly interpret the veiled language of the allegorical text and its related images. Alchemy.

  You know how your partner or colleague typically reacts, but with this book, you will also understand their fundamental motives. This way, you can avoid many arguments that follow the same pattern as the last time you disagreed. The same logic will help you in the future when completing a task for your boss. When dealing with customers, you will instinctively know whether they seek something innovative or reassurance about their purchase. In addition to being able to read others’ thoughts, you will also understand how people perceive you. 
  The book is logically structured and easy to understand. It includes many practical examples of the four different roles we all take on. As you read, you won’t be able to help but think of the various people you interact with—and you will see them in a whole new light. The book has been developed over many years through team-building exercises, where participants have defended their behavior in demanding and complex collaborations. You will feel proud of yourself and your behavior when you realize the unconscious values that guide you. Unfortunately, not everyone shares your values. 
  Do you know the feeling of just clicking with certain people? Feeling a sense of connection with them? You can experience that same feeling with many others, even if they seem different from you. Even those closest to us may not share the same values, which is why differing opinions and decisions can lead to conflict. But imagine if you saw it as an advantage to be with someone who has different values—and therefore different strengths. Together, you can achieve so much more. 
  As normal human beings, we often focus on the personal traits that we struggle with the most when interacting with others. The problem is that we tend to see the downside of these traits and not the person's strengths.

  Mercy Brown Incident The: The...

  Today the Salem Witch Trials are often remembered as being a relic of a superstitious past, and Salem has transformed itself into a tourist haven and Halloween destination by capitalizing off the trials, which remain well known across America. However, most people have forgotten that New England had a “vampire” scare in the 19th century, when superstitious New Englanders looked to lore to explain tuberculosis, a devastating illness for which they had no available answers.  
  	The last and most famous event in New England’s hunt for vampires came near the end of the 19th century after Mercy Brown died of consumption on January 19, 1892 and her body was exhumed on March 17, 1892. Suspicion fell on her as being a possible vampire, and digging her coffin up was an attempt to determine if she was, in fact, a vampire. Her mother and sister had died before her, also from consumption, and when her brother Eddie caught the disease, he had dreams about Mercy. He also had the feeling of a heavy weight sitting on his chest at night. 
  	After her coffin was opened, the remains were examined, and the relatively good condition of Mercy Brown’s body indicated to her family and neighbors that she was indeed a vampire, and that she was responsible for her brother’s illness. While people who think of vampires today conjure up images of Dracula, in 19th century America, vampires were believed to be tied to tuberculosis, which killed millions of people. American beliefs about vampires connected victims who had died of consumption with living family members who came down with the disease, which was quite common because outbreaks of consumption frequently decimated whole families, striking down previously healthy brothers and sisters within a year or two.

  The Tech Coup - How to Save...

  Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
   
   
   
  In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

  Life, death and love - 5 February 1969 
  • What is it that we call living? 
  • How can a confused mind find somebody who will tell the truth? 
  • When there is no comparison, no opposite, you are actually faced with the fact of anger, then is there anger? 
  • Without knowing what sorrow is, understanding its nature and structure, we shall not know what love is. 
  • What is it to die? 
  • One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an bend. 
  • It is only the mind that has shed all its burdens every day, ended every problem, that is an innocent mind. Then life has a different meaning altogether. Then one can find out what love is."
