Sinopse

Substance Abuse Effects explores the physiological and psychological impacts of drugs and alcohol, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these substances affect the body and mind. The book highlights the intricate ways in which substance abuse alters brain function, leading to addiction and impacting overall well-being. Readers will gain insights into the neurobiology of addiction, learning how substances interact with neurotransmitter systems, and the long-term psychological consequences, such as cognitive impairment and emotional dysregulation.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamentals of neurobiology and pharmacology before delving into the effects of specific substances like alcohol, opioids, and cannabis. It addresses the psychological dimensions of addiction, including craving, withdrawal, and relapse, and culminates with an exploration of evidence-based treatment approaches.

 
By integrating findings from neuroscience, psychology, and public health, Substance Abuse Effects offers a nuanced perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors in addressing substance abuse. This holistic approach is valuable for healthcare professionals, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the science behind addiction and its effects.

    'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
    Communication as such is difficult. Of course, it is more difficult between lovers. But first you have to understand the general difficulty of communication. Each mind has been conditioned by different parents, different teachers, different priests, and different politicians. It is a different world in itself. And when two minds try to communicate, as far as the ordinary mundane things are concerned, there is no difficulty. But the moment they start moving beyond things into the world of concepts, communication starts becoming more and more difficult.

    * "Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself." 
    * "Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank." 
     
    Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God. 
     
    There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no more than the experience of him. Here are his sublime life and teachings.

    Over 5000 years before Christ an amazing thing happened that would change the course of human history. 
     
    Hidden from us by misunderstanding, mistranslation and clouded in mythology, the birth of religion on this planet was no mere accident. It was the result of an alien invasion on a vast scale and it sparked the worship of the ancient gods. Those gods are the oldest recorded figures of worship anywhere in history. They are the root of all the major world religions. They gave rise to the great powers of Egypt, Mesopotamia and more. They spread outwards around the world and were the genesis of a special holy bloodline that remains with us today. 
     
    One of their descendants would be caught, beaten and crucified. And yet he would rise from his grave, unrecognisable and accompanied by messengers of light. He would ascend in the sky having cast off his shrouded skin. His bloodline would give rise to the royal families of the entire world. His bloodline would be protected, defended and would control the globe. 
     
    He was a descendant of the great serpent elite, who came to earth as beings of light to teach mankind. He was a descendant of the great giant killer, David. A memory of a great battle that was fought between the serpent elite and the sons of alien and man. 
     
    They were known as giants in the land. The aliens escaped earth but left behind their seed and tools of power and communication. It is prophesied that they shall return and the signs are growing daily that they have returned and are right now dealing with their own elite bloodline - the men in power. 
     
    This is the untold story of a very real and ancient alien invasion.

    Introduction to Consent Culture...

    Enjoy audio of the introduction to the book Consent Culture and Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in Teen Films read to you by the author. 
    Teen films of the 1980s were notorious for treating consent as irrelevant with scenes of boys spying in girls' locker rooms and tricking girls into sex. Contemporary movies, on the other hand, now routinely prioritize consent, ensuring date rape is no longer a joke and girls' desires are celebrated. Yet, sexual consent remains a problematic and often elusive ideal in teen films. 
    The introduction to the book Consent Culture and Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in US Movies demonstrates how teen films throughout the last several decades have shifted from trivializing nonconsent to emphasizing affirmative consent, or “yes means yes.” In doing so, they have adapted to “consent culture,” the cultural prioritization of obtaining clear verbal consent in all interactions—particularly sexual ones. 
    This chapter provides a historical context for how consent culture developed as a response to rape culture and traces how affirmative consent gained strength through legislation related to Title IX and sexual assault on college campuses between the 1990s and today. 
    Yet, at the same time, Meek reveals how teen films continue to expose how affirmative consent does not protect youth from unwanted and unpleasant sexual encounters. In the genre, we are confronted by innumerable problematic aspects of consent in practice—youth say yes when they clearly feel no; they insist on a consent and agency adults deem invalid due to their age; and they regret their sexual experiences. 
    While consent culture has provided some of the language during cinematic moments, it is strikingly evident that those words often fall short. Consent, it turns out, has not been the panacea we had hoped—that is, at least, not according to teen films.
