The Gospel of War, if you want Peace prepare for war
From ambassadors of conflict to messengers aware of peace

True Peace is not only the absence of war, but also of all the emotional negativity of the human being. Harmony and serenity already dwell in us, as well as truth and positive qualities, it is only necessary to hear again, to listen in silence, and all the most precious inner treasures will blossom in unison.

The actual armed confrontation is only the visible tip of the iceberg, a striking aspect of the war, the one that moves the minds that suddenly rise from the sofa and say: ”Putin is a criminal, it is not acceptable to invade a foreign country and make massacres of innocent women and children”. But these people need to understand that, the tanks that invade a country, is just the final act of something that is being prepared day by day, starting from our consciousnesses, the war is a social structure, a way by which we have organized the entire society, because education itself is separating and teaches conflict.

So the war has become a philosophical, spiritual, psychological, social, cultural and economic structure, born of our own consciousness, of our ”false self” that feels separated from itself, from others, and this is the feeling of division that is the source of war.

To be pacifist does not mean to go to the streets to protest against the war or to be indignant before the television, for the criminal invasion perpetrated by the despotic of the moment, but to work on ourselves to dissolve that nature of conflict that we already have inside, that we express in our daily lives, when we clash with the people around us, and show aggression towards those who attack us.
True Peace is first of all a journey within us, in search of all those stimuli, in most cases unconscious, that make us react aggressively when we feel attacked. It’s a huge but essential work, we should base a new education on this key of inner pacification that further on will transmits outside as well.

Can we change the fate of our destiny?

Currently the world we live in seems to be addicted to violence, and like the worst addict, it requires stupidly, unconsciously, and automatically its dose of cruelty, of arrogance, of malevolence, and the drug system itself is not interested in the destructive consequences of these behaviors, for him the priority is to appease his addiction.

But war is a self-destructive choice born from a sick conscience, incapable of understanding itself and its own models of functioning.

Faced with this situation, the pacifists seem to be silenced, unable to respond to the completely rational and logical discourses of those who preach: ”let us take up arms to defend ourselves” or ”If you want peace prepare the war”. It seems more than ever  to be back in fashion the famous: ”Let's arm ourselves and go”, while the patriotic heroism regains strength as in the good times...

But now let’s ask ourselves carefully, ”It's truly like this?”
Must we convert to the logic of violence, brush up from the museum of prehistory the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth of Mosaic memory?
Can we ever live in a peaceful world?
What can we do against the war?PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

The Political Development of...

Emily Zackin, Chloe N. Thurston

A political history of the rise and fall of American debt relief. 
Americans have a long history with debt. They also have a long history of mobilizing for debt relief. Throughout the nineteenth century, indebted citizens demanded government protection from their financial burdens, challenging readings of the Constitution that exalted property rights at the expense of the vulnerable. Their appeals shaped the country’s periodic experiments with state debt relief and federal bankruptcy law, constituting a pre-industrial safety net. Yet, the twentieth century saw the erosion of debtor politics and the eventual retrenchment of bankruptcy protections. 
The Political Development of American Debt Relief traces how geographic, sectoral, and racial politics shaped debtor activism over time, enhancing our understanding of state-building, constitutionalism, and social policy.

Little Women Podcast: Why...

Niina Niskanen

Self-reliance is often rooted in the idea that no matter the circumstances that you were born into, you can still make something of yourself and your life and leave a mark on this world. One of Louisa´s favourite writers was the German poet, Goethe. Goethe was born into great wealth, which eventually led him to challenge himself. Being born as a rich man caused emptiness. Some readers might notice that this is down to tee Laurie´s character. Goethe eventually found writing to be his calling, and he recommended work as the best remedy for a broken heart. In Little Women, when Laurie is in Vienna after he has been rejected by Jo and has been lectured by Amy, he's writing an opera which would quote "harrow Jo´s soul and melt her heart" But he just keeps seeing Jo in the most unflattering ways and soon Jo is replaced by a beautiful ghost who looks a lot like Amy, and Laurie sees himself as a romantic prince. I have seen about 14 Little Women adaptations, and this part of Laurie in Vienna has never been adapted, which is a problem. Laurie is flirting with this ghost for a while, and then he stops and for the first time in his life, Laurie realizes that what he's doing is silly and he remembers Amy's words. She took his hands and said that they were soft and white as a woman's and they had never done a day's work. Only picked flowers for girls and wore Jouvin´s best gloves. As a result of this, Laurie goes to work for his grandfather. Laurie's character arc in Little Women is not about Amy or Jo. It is the story of how Laurie becomes a man. In Louisa May Alcott´s world, the only acceptable wealthy people are philanthropists. With Laurie´s character, Louisa May Alcott criticised the people who are on the top of the class system.

The Norse Eddas - The Ancient...

Odessa Nightshade

The Norse Eddas are among the most significant collections of ancient texts in Norse mythology, preserving the beliefs, legends, and wisdom of the Viking Age. These texts, passed down through oral tradition before being written down, provide a glimpse into the cosmology, gods, heroes, and prophecies that shaped the worldview of the Norse people. At the heart of these works are the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, two distinct but complementary sources that serve as the foundation of our understanding of Norse mythology. While the Poetic Edda consists of mythological and heroic poems that likely originated in pre-Christian Scandinavia, the Prose Edda, written by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, provides an organized narrative and interpretation of these myths.  
  
Norse mythology is unique among the world’s great mythological traditions, offering a vision of a cosmos that is both grand and tragic. The stories contained in the Eddas depict a universe governed by fate, where even the gods themselves are not immune to doom. Central to these myths is the idea of cyclical destruction and rebirth, embodied in the prophecy of Ragnarok—the apocalyptic battle that will end the reign of the gods and bring forth a new world. Unlike the immortals of other mythologies, the Norse gods are flawed, mortal beings who struggle against inevitable destruction, making their tales both heroic and deeply human.  
  
Beyond their mythological significance, the Eddas also reflect the values, traditions, and daily life of the Norse people. Honor, loyalty, and wisdom are recurring themes, guiding both gods and mortals in their choices and destinies.
