  The Sign-Language of...

  Gerald Massey

  The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation. But in the primitive phase it was a soul of life or of food ascending from the water in vegetation, as he who climbs the stalk, ranging from Child-Horus to the Polynesian hero, and to Jack ascending heavenward by means of his bean-stalk. –from “The Sign Language of Astronomical Mythology” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

  Harmony - The Balanced Coexistence

  Harmony is the delicate balance that governs the universe, present in nature, relationships, and even within ourselves. It is not merely the absence of conflict but a state where opposing forces coexist in a way that fosters growth and stability. From the rhythmic flow of the seasons to the intricate balance of ecosystems, harmony ensures that everything functions in a synchronized and sustainable manner. 
  In many ancient philosophies, harmony is considered the key to a fulfilled life. Eastern traditions such as Taoism emphasize the importance of living in alignment with the natural flow of the universe, often referred to as the Tao. Similarly, Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato believed in the mathematical and moral symmetry of existence. Across cultures, the idea of balance as a foundation for well-being has been deeply ingrained in spiritual and philosophical teachings. 
  In nature, harmony manifests through the interplay of elements. Water nourishes the land, the sun provides warmth, and the wind shapes the terrain. Each component of the natural world relies on another to maintain equilibrium. Predators and prey, flora and fauna, all exist within an intricate web where every action influences the greater whole. When this balance is disrupted—whether by natural disasters or human intervention—the consequences ripple through the environment, leading to instability.

  Scorched Earth - Beyond the...

  Refusing the digital world of late capitalism 
   
   
   
  In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our "digital age" is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialization of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. 
   
   
   
  This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.

  Body Horror - Capitalism Fear...

  Anne Elizabeth Moore

  Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
   
  A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.
