  Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury.PTSD can occur in all people of any ethnicity, nationality, culture, and age. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults every year. An estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear, or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, and they may have strong adverse reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.People with a diagnosis of PTSD are defended and insecure about many things in life. It is essential to create a safe place where people can explore and share their experiences and understand why they are experiencing life as they do to begin the healing process in a therapeutic environment. This book may offer much to promote the healing and growth of those affected by complex trauma.

  If we had no belief what would happen to us? - 23 July 1949 
  • Without self-knowledge we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the 
  mind.

  • A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an un 
  creative, repetitive mind. 
  • Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? 
  • A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is 
  creative. 
  • Q: Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the 
  unknown, reality, or God?

  A Very British Cult - Rogue...

  A secluded country house. A rogue Anglican Priest. Ceremonial sex and mislaid fortunes.
  
  This is the almost-forgotten story of Victorian Britain's strangest religious sect and its wealthy, mostly female, followers who believed they could ascend directly to heaven. Henry James Prince was a rogue Anglican Priest with a flare for the dramatic, and the founder of the Agapemone, or 'Abode of Love'. He also claimed to be the immortal conduit of The Holy Spirit and purportedly engaged in free love and ceremonial sex with his mostly female followers. But Prince's eventual death didn't mark the end of this strange set... he was promptly replaced by another. John Hugh Smyth-Pigott - otherwise known as the Clapton Messiah.
  
  The Abode transformed a sleepy, rural corner of Somerset into one of England's most notorious locations. While the followers shut themselves away and waited patiently for the end of the world, outrage grew - the word 'Agapemone' because a byword for licentiousness or idleness, used by Charles Dickens and Ford Maddox Ford. The reclusive Clapton Messiah became a fixture in the nation's papers, with frenzied efforts to discredit the organisation and undermine its leader. And still the cult grew.
  
  Expertly drawing on primary sources to tell the story of the Agapemonites in details for the first time, Stuart Flinders shines a light on the people drawn to the cult - the forced marriages; the swindled fortunes; the women condemned to asylums; and those who managed to escape from the Abode. It is also the story of two extraordinary men, whose claims of divinity were at the heart of this very British cult.

  Olmec Civilization - The First...

  The Olmec civilization, often regarded as the "Mother Culture" of Mesoamerica, emerged around 1200 BCE in the tropical lowlands of present-day southern Mexico, specifically in the Gulf Coast region. This area, rich in natural resources, served as the cradle for one of the earliest and most influential cultures in the Americas. The Olmec are best known for their monumental stone heads, intricate artwork, and the development of many foundational aspects of Mesoamerican civilization. 
  The origins of the Olmec civilization can be traced back to a combination of environmental factors, agricultural innovations, and the development of social structures. The region’s fertile lands provided an abundant supply of food, particularly maize, which became the cornerstone of Olmec agriculture. The availability of other crops, such as beans, squash, and cassava, further supported the growth of a settled society. The Olmec were skilled farmers, and their ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of the tropical lowlands allowed them to create surplus food, leading to population growth and the emergence of more complex social and political systems. 
  One of the defining features of the Olmec civilization was the rise of their urban centers, most notably San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapotes. These cities became hubs of political and religious activity, with powerful rulers who controlled vast territories. The creation of these urban centers marked a shift from small, scattered villages to larger, more centralized societies. The Olmec rulers established authority through both political power and religious influence, often associating themselves with divine figures and acting as intermediaries between the gods and the people. This centralization of power allowed for the coordination of large-scale construction projects, such as the creation of the colossal stone heads and other monumental sculptures.
