  In this 2023 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Carolyn Baker, Ph.D discusses an imminent "global dark night of the soul." Baker believes humanity is poised on a threshold of a global crisis that is not asking us to simply “make things better” or invent new ways of living. It’s demanding that we surrender to a transformation so radical that we become a new variety of the human species. "Our assignment is to become sacred activists." 
  Carolyn Baker, Ph.D. has been a psychotherapist in private practice and a college professor of psychology and history. Through her webinars, podcasts, live workshops, books, and articles, as well as one-on-one life coaching, Carolyn is touching the lives of thousands to assist them in deeply adapting and becoming resilient in the face of the unprecedented changes confronting humanity. She works closely with Andrew Harvey for the Institute for Sacred Activism. She is the author of Undaunted: Living Fiercely into Climate Meltdown in an Authoritarian World (Apocryphile Press 2022) and Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World (co-author Andrew Harvey) (Inner Traditions 2022)

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  International aid has long been heralded as a solution to the world’s most pressing problems, from poverty and hunger to disease and disaster recovery. It is a system built on the idea that wealthier nations and organizations have the responsibility to assist those in need, providing the necessary resources to help vulnerable populations rise above their circumstances. With trillions of dollars allocated to aid efforts across the globe, it would seem that international aid is fulfilling its mission to promote global well-being. However, a closer examination reveals a far more complex, and often disheartening, reality. 
    
  While aid is essential in times of crisis, its long-term effects are often overlooked. Far too frequently, the aid process is tainted by inefficiencies, corruption, and political agendas, which hinder its effectiveness and frequently exacerbate the problems it seeks to solve. Donor countries may provide aid with specific political or economic interests in mind, making the assistance less about altruism and more about advancing a nation's own objectives. Likewise, organizations tasked with distributing aid can become bogged down by bureaucratic red tape, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability, leading to resources being squandered or diverted from the people who need them most. 
    
  The impact of international aid is not always as straightforward as it appears. While some projects undoubtedly achieve their goals, many others fail to deliver lasting results, leaving behind a trail of dependency rather than empowerment. Aid can often unintentionally disrupt local economies and social structures, creating reliance on external support rather than fostering self-sufficiency. In some cases, aid even perpetuates cycles of poverty by undermining local industries or creating a mindset of dependency that stifles innovation and growth.

  How to Have a Life - An Ancient...

  A vibrant new translation of Seneca's "On the Shortness of Life," a pointed reminder to make the most of our time 
   
   
   
  Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth? In the first century AD, the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offered one of the most famous answers to that question in his essay "On the Shortness of Life"—a work that has more to teach us today than ever before. In How to Have a Life, James Romm presents a vibrant new translation of Seneca's brilliant essay, plus two Senecan letters on the same theme, complete with an inviting introduction. 
   
   
   
  With devastating satiric wit, skillfully captured in this translation, Seneca lampoons the ways we squander our time and fail to realize how precious it is. We don't allow people to steal our money, yet we allow them to plunder our time, or else we give it away ourselves in useless, idle pursuits. Seneca also describes how we can make better use of our brief days and years. In the process, he argues, we can make our lives longer, or even everlasting, because to live a real life is to attain a kind of immortality.

  America’s Most Notorious Con...

  The art of the confidence trick is a controversial craft that is as old as time itself. In the early years of civilization, unscrupulous folks bottled and peddled assortments of fake cures and potions. Snake oil salesmen aside, charlatans posed as mystical beings with supernatural powers, promising to end droughts and other misfortunes of the gullible with what were in reality parlor tricks and illusions.  
  	Indeed, throughout history, unabashedly brazen characters managed to make careers out of deception. 17th century Britain, for instance, was terrorized by William Chaloner, the most infamous serial counterfeiter and con artist of his time before he was ultimately bested by Sir Isaac Newton himself. The British trickster posed as a quack doctor and a clairvoyant who dispensed false fortunes (most likely via an early form of cold reading) and bogus healing antidotes, but these were bush-league frauds in comparison to one of his most renowned claims to fame: he once bribed four Jacobite sympathizers to crank out pamphlets regarding King James II's denunciation of His Royal Highness William, and later double-crossed his co-conspirators by tipping off the cops and swiftly decamping with the 1,000 reward.  
  	Confidence women were equally active players in such dirty, fixed games. Doris Payne was a professional pilferer of jewels whose unconventional vocation spanned six decades. Throughout all her hits across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Payne adhered to a simple, yet effective method of operation: she donned stylish, pricey clothes, singled out impressionable male shopkeepers and distracted them with flirtatious small talk, and secretly palmed jewelry with sleight-of-hand tricks. One of the most recent was Frank Abagnale, a career impersonator, former forger of bank checks turned FBI employee, and the subject of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can.
