Beschreibung

In "Seven Years in Vienna: A Record of Intrigue," the anonymous author chronicles a tumultuous period from August 1907 to August 1914 in the vibrant cultural and political landscape of Vienna. This memoir, written in a reflective yet engaging literary style, captures the essence of pre-World War I Europe, immersing readers in the web of espionage, political maneuvering, and social upheaval that characterized the era. The author's keen observations and vivid descriptions reflect a deep understanding of the intricacies of Vienna's salons and the eclectic mix of intellectuals, artists, and diplomats that shaped the city's cultural milieu. While the author's identity remains shrouded in mystery, their experiences in Vienna'Äîoften at the heart of international intrigue during this pivotal historical moment'Äîoffer invaluable insights into the motivations and machinations of Europe'Äôs political elite. The author'Äôs background, likely steeped in a world of politics and art, enriches the narrative, making it not only a personal account but also a critical commentary on the socio-political climate of the time, presaging the conflicts that would soon engulf the continent. "Seven Years in Vienna" is recommended for readers who seek a nuanced exploration of history through personal lens, blending the realms of memoir and political analysis. Historians, students of literature, and anyone interested in the intricate dance of power in early 20th-century Europe will find this work to be a compelling addition to their understanding of the era.

    To the ancient Egyptians, death was not the end—it was merely a transition to a new phase of existence. The afterlife was not a vague, distant concept but a vivid and essential part of their spiritual understanding. They believed in a continuation of life, one where the soul would live on in a realm filled with beauty, light, and eternal peace, provided certain conditions were met. This vision shaped much of their culture, from their art and architecture to their religious practices and personal values. 
    Central to this belief was the idea of the soul, which they saw as comprising multiple parts. The Ka was the life force, the vital essence that departed the body at death but still needed sustenance. The Ba represented personality and mobility—it was the part of the soul that could travel between the living world and the afterlife. The Akh, achieved through a successful transition and judgment, was the transformed spirit that lived among the gods. Each of these aspects had its own role to play in the journey beyond death, and maintaining their harmony was crucial. 
    Immortality was not automatic. It had to be earned through righteous living and proper burial. For the Egyptians, morality and order, guided by the principle of Ma’at—truth, balance, and justice—were essential. One had to live in accordance with Ma’at to hope for a favorable judgment in the afterlife. This belief extended into the funerary rituals, where the dead would be judged in the Hall of Two Truths, their heart weighed against the Feather of Ma’at to determine their fate.

    What steps are needed to make life better and more convivial? The Second Convivialist Manifesto (2020) has presented a short diagnosis of the current crises and sketches of a possible and desirable future. It has been a necessary work of theoretical synthesis, but preserving a viable world also requires passion. It is thus urgent to show what people would gain from a shift to a post-neoliberal and post-growth convivialist future. This volume includes a theoretical debate on convivialism which reflects dystopias and shows the multiple and major obstacles that convivialism will have to face. Mainly, however, the contributors to this volume create sketches of a convivial future and collect accounts of another future world which is attractive for as many as possible.

    Churchill, a renowned sufferer of depression called it ‘The Black Dog’, but it has had several names over the years, and it seems to be more common now than ever. Luckily, it can be treated fairly easily too, if the sufferer knows that he or she has a problem and also seeks help, which is far too often not the case. 
    Most people ‘snap out of it’ with a little help from their friends, although it can and does return. Others can’t bear it any longer and take the ultimate escape route. 
    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. Please be aware that I wrote the content of this ebook after a significant amount of research, but I am still not a health care provider. 
    The information in this ebook on various aspects of depression and related subjects is organized into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about the problems associated with depression in all its forms. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
    You may also split the book up and resell the articles. In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

    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? 
    • Q: What is aloneness? Is it a mystical state?

    On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate officially expired. That same day, the Jewish National Council issued the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. About 10 minutes later, President Truman officially recognized the State of Israel, and the Soviet Union also quickly recognized Israel. However, the Palestinians and the Arab League did not recognize the new state, and the very next day, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded the former British Mandate to squelch Israel, while Saudi Arabia assisted the Arab armies. Jordan would also get involved in the war, fighting the Israelis around Jerusalem. The eventual armistice lines became known as the “Green Line,” and the conflict has continued to involve those lines and the issues that were contested in a war now nearly 70 years old. 
    In early June 1967, the Israelis captured Jordanian intelligence that indicated an invasion was imminent and thus launched preemptive strikes. Over the next six days, the Israelis overwhelmed the Egyptians in the west, destroying thousands of tanks and capturing the Gaza Strip and the entire Sinai Peninsula. At the same time, Israel drove the Jordanians out of Jerusalem and the West Bank, and it captured the Golan Heights from Syria near the border of Lebanon. In the span of a week, Israel had tripled the size of the lands it controlled. Israel had gone from less than 10 miles wide in some spots to over 200 miles wide from the Sinai Peninsula to the West Bank. Israel also unified Jerusalem. 
    On October 6, 1973, Syria and Egypt caught Israel off guard during the Jewish holy holiday of Yom Kippur, surprise attacking the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. The Israelis turned the tide within a week, going on the counteroffensive and winning the war within 3 weeks.
