  Confucius was a Chinese thinker and political leader who was considered as the apotheosis of Chinese sages. Confucius' theories and philosophy, commonly seen as one of the most essential and prominent individuals in human history, created the structure of East Asian civilization and civilization, and stay appropriate across China and East Asia today. 
  Confucianism, his philosophical theories, highlighted personal and governmental morality, social connection precision, justice, generosity, and genuineness. Confucianism was instilled in Chinese civilization and way of living; for Confucians, daily life was a spiritual arena. Throughout the Hundred Schools of Thought age, his disciples contended efficiently with lots of other schools, only to be repressed in favor of the Legalists throughout the Qin dynasty. Confucius' ideas were formally approved in the new administration following Han's success over Chu after Qin's collapse. Confucianism developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later as New Confucianism, at the time of the Tang and Tune dynasties. 
  Today, we will learn more about this highly influential philosophy, the man who was the author and creator of it, and the consequences it has had on society and cultures across the world, in particular the Chinese culture.

  This book, like the first of the series the Book of the Ancient World, was used in its original manuscript form by one of my history classes. It carries on the story of the way in which man has been learning how to live from the time of the Coming of the Greeks to the loss of Greek independence in 146 B.C.The spirit of a nation is expressed and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature and in its art. The aim of this book has been to use such parts of the political history of the Greeks, of their literature and of their art as seem to have been the outward and visible signs of the spirit that inspired them.This book is only intended as an introduction to the history of Greek civilization, and the difficulty of my task has been to decide on what to omit. Everyone will not agree with me as to what I have taken and what I have left, but my aim will have been accomplished, if the book should create a desire to know something more of the great heritage which has come to us from the Greeks.

  White Lies Matter - The Gospel...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  White Lies Matter: The Gospel of MAWA isn’t just a book—it’s a sermon, a roast, and a history lesson rolled into one blistering satire of American politics. Beneath the bright red MAGA cap, the author exposes what the slogan really meant: Make America White Again. 
  With wit as sharp as Twain, the bite of Carlin, and the unflinching honesty of Chappelle, this audiobook takes listeners on a journey through America’s not-so-secret gospel of racial nostalgia. From the election of Barack Obama that shook the foundations of white exceptionalism, to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump baptizing a movement in fear, grievance, and privilege, WLM uncovers how the “American Dream” was fenced off and sold as exclusive property. 
  Each chapter functions like a scripture reading from the Church of MAWA, complete with commandments, proverbs, and revelations that peel back patriotic veneers to reveal the machinery of exclusion underneath. It’s biting, it’s funny, and it’s devastatingly honest—because America’s greatest myths are also its greatest lies. 
  This is not a quiet audiobook. It’s meant to provoke laughter, outrage, and reflection in equal measure. Whether you’re a believer in the gospel of MAWA or a skeptic watching from the pews, White Lies Matter insists you confront the uncomfortable truth: racism was never a glitch in the system—it was the system. 
  At once irreverent and illuminating, this is satire that cuts to the bone and asks the question no campaign slogan dares to touch: Whose America are we really trying to make “great” again?

  In 1938 the German Reich inflicted a wave of violent, all night attacks on several Jewish communities (Kristallnacht). Far away in Australia, William Cooper, a distinguished Elder of the Yorta Yorta Nation, led a little-known march to the German Consulate to deliver his protest regarding the violation of those human rights. 
  How contemporary Jewish and Aboriginal communities re-connected with that protest is but one chapter in a book recounting true stories of many miraculous chains of events. 
  Each chapter has its own story, each story its own theme, but common throughout are lessons on the reality of spiritual technologies: following steps of prayerful, contemplative action; acting with ceaseless energy; working mindfully with ancestors; and expressing gratitude for the emerging blessings. 
  We are each connected with the spiritual realm. Some may call spiritual forces ancestors, others angels or still others, the names of forms of divine power in their traditions. Whatever their names, these forces work intimately with us when we seek to be of service to others. When asked to perform an act of service beyond one’s abilities or education, there are those in the next world who can make suggestions.
