Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

The Analects, a collection of sayings and ideas attributed to Confucius, offers profound insights into the ethics and philosophy of this ancient sage. Rooted in the context of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the text is written in a conversational style, interspersed with dialogues and reflections that illuminate the core tenets of Confucian thought, such as filial piety, moral integrity, and the importance of virtuous leadership. Its literary simplicity belies the depth of its philosophical inquiry, making it both accessible and richly layered for multiple interpretations across centuries. Confucius, born in 551 BCE in what is now Shandong Province, emerged as a pivotal figure in Chinese history, advocating for a system of ethics rooted in pragmatism and humanity. His life was marked by a dedication to education and the cultivation of moral virtues, heavily influenced by the tumultuous political landscape of his time. This backdrop inspired him to compile his thoughts on governance, morality, and social harmony, which are timelessly relevant to both individual conduct and societal structure. For anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or the foundations of Eastern thought, The Analects is an indispensable text. Its teachings not only resonate within the framework of Confucianism but also offer universal reflections on human nature and interpersonal relationships. Readers will find this work both enlightening and transformative, providing essential insights that remain relevant in contemporary discussions.

Dear America - Notes of an...

Jose Antonio Vargas

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called “the most famous undocumented immigrant in America,” tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms. 
“This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book––at it's core––is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home. 
After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.” 
—Jose Antonio Vargas, from Dear America

“These Merovingians are said to be a dynasty of Frankish, priest-kings, with magical powers…..” 
 
The whole history of the Holy Grail is linked inextricably with the mysterious family called the Merovingians. It was a name used in the blockbuster, The Matrix, because of the power the name holds. Why? 
 
There are tales of mystery and magic, of wisdom and light and last but not least of all, descent from God himself via His Son, Jesus, and His supposed wife, Mary Magdalene. 
 
Some even go so far as to say that the Merovingian’s were descended from an ultra-ancient race of fallen angels that spawned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. 
 
The truth is that the line of Merovech was very special and worshipped the serpent. Their history is one of the most magical, mystical and murderous tales. 
 
We will discover that their very bloodline was so special to a secret and sacred order or serpent worshippers, that their lives were in constant danger. That, and they held a dark secret that was twisted out of all recognition by the Christian Church. 
 
Prepare to discover the real secret of the Da Vinci Code.
