  How you see your life is complex and can rarely be expressed in an answer that fits on a bumper sticker. Instead, a longer answer is required, one that has roots in early experiences that influenced the development of your character and shaped your views on nature, prejudice, religion, and war. Ultimately, enlightenment comes from reflection on those around you and the impressionable events of childhood that impacted your maturity. William F. Merck’s second book, “Breadcrumbs: Finding a Philosophy of Life,” approaches this quest through a framework loosely based on the seven philosophies of education and concentrates on themes of learning, values, reasoning, morals, religion, aesthetics, and world views.In this work, the author uses stories from his life’s journey to illustrate points in time that helped form his view of the world and his place in it. From growing up in Southern Georgia in the 1940s, to becoming a military officer and a corporate leader, he discovers a nexus between early feelings and subsequent notions and beliefs. He invites you to contemplate your own early experiences as an investigative exercise in understanding what you believe and why you think the way you do today.

  Cristero War - The Rebellion...

  The Cristero War, also known as the Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada [la kistjaa], was a widespread and deeply significant conflict that unfolded in central and western Mexico during the late 1920s. It was primarily driven by a violent response to the secularist and anti-clerical provisions of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, which sought to curtail the influence of the Catholic Church over the country's political and social life. The Constitution introduced sweeping reforms, including the restriction of church property rights and the severe limitations placed on the clergy’s ability to engage in public life. 
  This growing tension reached a boiling point when President Plutarco Elías Calles, who came into power in 1924, took decisive action to enforce these secular provisions. In 1926, Calles issued an executive order to aggressively implement Article 130 of the 1917 Constitution, known as the Calles Law. This law effectively outlawed many aspects of Catholicism in Mexico, including the practice of the religion in public spaces, the establishment of religious orders, and the public involvement of the clergy in education and politics. Calles' aim was to reduce the power of the Catholic Church, which had long been one of the most influential institutions in Mexican society, and to curb what he perceived as an obstacle to modernization and national unity.

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 98 by Bhikkhu Khantipālo, 'Heedfulness' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV, narrated by Shelina Hetherington. 
   
  Excerpt: 
  ...The quality of heedfulness has been praised many times by the Exalted Buddha, just as the opposite, heedlessness, has been condemned. In this Dhamma, there is much to be practised and there is practice suitable for every posture of the body and every minute of the day. There is practice to be done concerning the stream of thoughts racing in the mind, there is more practice connected with the thousands of words spoken every day, and there is Dhamma-practice for the body, whatever it is doing. Now none of this can be accomplished without heedfulness, without making effort, without employing mindful awareness, or without wisdom. Heedfulness implies the conscious cultivation of these three aspects of Dhamma: effort, mindfulness and wisdom....

  In The Nazi Escape, uncover the shocking, meticulously researched story of how a secretive global alliance, spanning Vatican corridors, Allied intelligence networks, and Argentina’s highest political ranks, engineered one of history’s most chilling cover-ups. With the Third Reich in ruins, elite Nazi war criminals vanished without a trace. But they didn’t disappear... they were helped.
