  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 6 by Edward Greenly, 'Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel. 
   
  Excerpt: 
  ...The first thing to be observed is that Buddhism does not make what we may perhaps call a “frontal attack” upon evil. There is in it no “commandment,” no “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not,” but merely an “it is good to” or “it is not good to:” and that always for the reason “such and such a thing helps or hinders sorrow’s ceasing.” 
   
  Again, the system being not faith but knowledge, evil is, in its eyes, not “wickedness,” but a “not-understanding,” a mental blindness, a failure to see things as they really are. The remedy, then, evidently, must be “right understanding,” sane and unclouded mental vision, a coming to see things as they really are....

  Europe is home to some of the greatest artists and some of the most brutal wars in world history. 
  Revolutions, reformations, and the Renaissance—it took a lot of movements to turn medieval Europe into what we know today. The world was shaped by Europe’s contributions to art, literature, science, culture, religion, and technology. 
  Not only has Europe been at the forefront of intellectual movements, but it has also been a part of some of the bloodiest wars in history. Despite its period of great rational thought, Europe dabbled rather extensively in the superstitious. Witch hunts spanned across the continent, with men, women, children, and sometimes even redheads being accused of conjuring evil!

  This audiobook offers a complete and simple guide to all the events that shaped modern Europe as it stands today. 
  By listening to this audiobook, you will discover the following:The beginning and impact of the Renaissance and the resulting challenge to the Catholic Church;The role of the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance in bringing about the Age of Discovery;The dark period of witch hunts and trials that took Europe by storm;The British Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution and how they pushed the two world wars;The emergence of the world’s first communist state and its fall;The role of influential women throughout Europe who were vital to shaping its history;And much, much more!

  The latest archaeology and history redefining book from bestselling author Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods), who is featured in Ancient Apocalypse, a hit Netflix original docuseries."With the original unabridged text of Supernatural, I offer the reader an investigation that explores the human experience with psychedelics from the Stone Age to the Space Age and the role of these extraordinary plant medicines as tools to investigate the nature of reality itself."—Graham Hancock Discover the pathway to the gods. Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind. His quest takes him on a journey of adventure and detection from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art. Hancock uncovers clues that lead him to travel to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful plant hallucinogen ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves and rock shelters be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "blind," "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent, something that we have barely even begun to understand? Previously published as Supernatural, this definitive edition includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release.

  As seen on Tucker Carlson Tonight! 
   
   
   
  This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities. 
   
   
   
  My life changed forever on April 12, 2019, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting data recovery from one of his liquid-damaged laptops. After his father announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer, fear for my safety grew. There was paperwork in Hunter's possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data—someone was going to come looking for the laptop, and come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI. But, feeling betrayed by the FBI's inaction in providing the laptop as evidence during the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately, to a lawyer for the president, Rudy Giuliani. When the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation, and it didn't take long before people started attacking my business and my character, forcing me to close my shop and flee the state.

  The Last Train

  ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
  The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
  In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
  The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
  It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
  Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
  Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
  And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
  The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
  This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
  And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
  This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
  For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).
