  Blackmail - Using Threats of...

  Cito Harder

  Blackmail is a crime rooted in power, fear, and manipulation. At its core, it relies on the psychological leverage one person holds over another, using threats of exposing damaging information to force compliance. Understanding the psychology of blackmail requires examining both the mindset of the blackmailer and the emotional turmoil experienced by the victim. Unlike outright theft or violence, blackmail is a more insidious form of coercion, exploiting secrets, shame, and social consequences to exert control. 
  The blackmailer operates from a position of perceived dominance. They recognize that their victim has something to lose—be it their reputation, career, relationships, or financial stability. The effectiveness of blackmail depends on the victim’s fear of exposure and their willingness to go to great lengths to avoid it. Many blackmailers justify their actions by believing they are simply taking advantage of an opportunity rather than committing an outright crime. They may rationalize their behavior as a means to an end, whether for financial gain, revenge, or power. Some blackmailers thrive on control, deriving psychological satisfaction from watching their victims squirm under pressure. 
  On the other side, the victim experiences a profound psychological burden. Fear and anxiety consume their thoughts as they weigh the consequences of giving in to the blackmailer’s demands versus resisting them. The secrecy surrounding blackmail can make victims feel trapped and isolated, preventing them from seeking help. Guilt and shame often play a role, especially if the information being used against them is tied to personal failings or socially unacceptable behavior. Even when victims know they are being manipulated, the sheer terror of exposure can push them into compliance, making blackmail an effective tool of coercion.

  For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? 
   
   
   
  In Family Abolition, author M. E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. Family Abolition takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.

  The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. 
   
   
   
  Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.

  The Kybalion - The Forbidden...

  Initiates Three, William Walker...

  “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” With this bold statement, The Kybalion, attributed to the mysterious Three Initiates, invites readers into a world where ancient wisdom meets universal truth. First published in 1908, the book distills the essence of Hermetic philosophy, a tradition linked to Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary figure seen as a bridge between human consciousness and divine knowledge. 
  At its core, The Kybalion presents the Seven Hermetic Principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles are described as the laws governing both the visible and invisible realms. By understanding them, seekers can align with cosmic patterns, deepen self-mastery, and unlock hidden dimensions of existence. 
  This edition expands upon the original text with valuable insights: commentary and reflections, historical context, advanced Hermetic practices such as Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy, comparative analysis with other spiritual traditions, and a Hermetic Q&A for further clarity. 
  Emerging during a wave of fascination with mysticism in the early 20th century, The Kybalion quickly became a cornerstone of Western esotericism. The anonymity of its authors only adds to its allure, leaving readers to wonder at their identities and sources. More than a book, The Kybalion remains a guide to uncovering not only the mysteries of the universe but also the depths of one’s own mind.
