Friedrich Nietzsche's 'Schopenhauer as Educator,' published in 1876, is an extended but lively philosophical work that is thought-provoking. In this extended essay, Nietzsche describes education as knowing oneself--a task requiring almost herculean effort.
This is the story of Patsy Mulligan, a poor Irish lad who fought in the First World War, and who afterwards returned to an Ireland on the verge of civil war. It was published in 1921 as the first chapter of an anonymous book. It is told from the detached perspective of a policeman, but the story does give us a glimpse into the complexities of the Irish situation at the time, and should for this reason be of interest of all students of history. It is also a very dramatic story, of betrayal and love... And it is allegedly true. The narrator is Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org.Ver libro
In the 1970s, more than a million young people moved to farms and communes all over the U.S. There was a war on, and they wanted no part of it. This is a book about those days and one of those communes, told by Peter Gould, one of Vermont's master storytellers, known for decades to fans of Burnt Toast, Gould & Stearns, A Peasant of El Salvador, and Write Naked. Horse-Drawn Yogurt is an exquisite memoir of a special time: the years of the back-to-the-land movement. But it is also a magical, unfolding mystery. What could this peculiar title mean? There's one way to find out. "Peter's tone-perfect narratives capture the danger, the disappointments, the joys of living a life of meaning...and the thrill of expanding the heart's perimeter to include everyone you meet. Horse-Drawn Yogurt is a great read by a fine writer. It's glorious!" -Peter Coyote "Gould's prose is so intimate that you trust every word." -Yvonne Daley "Vivid, honest, and well-written, not only informative but it's an important part of Vermont history." -The Brattleboro Reformer "There's so much fun to be had on this ride. Peter Gould is a straight-up magician." -Tim Weed "I love Peter Gould's work. We go a long way back." -U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy READ BY THE AUTHOR. Second Edition, New and Revised. Recorded and mastered at Guilford Sound, Guilford, Vermont.Ver libro
What is Baphomet? This comprehensive and accessible history sets the record straight on a captivating icon of the occult. “Baphomet Revealed lifts the veil covering the most enduring occult symbol of our age. Heather Lynn approaches Baphomet as a scholar who is not afraid to include hints of esoteric wisdom in her research, revealing the androgynous, horned beast not as a devil, but as a pathway to spiritual perfection.”—Travis McHenry, creator of Occult Tarot and Angel Tarot Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness—standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. Baphomet’s origins are as elusive as their symbolic form, yet we begin our inquiry with the Templars, where the name was perhaps first uttered. We trace Baphomet’s course through history, their intersections with Gnostic thought, Freemasonry, the teachings of Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Lévi, and the myriad occult groups that have drawn upon Baphomet’s potent symbolism. Baphomet Revealed will take readers on a journey that weaves together the threads of history, symbolism, and esoteric philosophy, unraveling the tapestry of Baphomet’s enduring mystique. This provocative entity exists simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these—the figure is, in reality, a symbol—a complex cipher holding within their form the keys to profound philosophical and esoteric truths. Author Heather Lynn draws extensively from primary sources, including historical depictions and magical seals associated with Baphomet, inviting readers to engage with the symbol directly. By melding rigorous academic inquiry with a spirit of open-minded exploration, Baphomet Revealed aims to shed new light on this shadowy figure, illuminating Baphomet’s proper place in the annals of human thought and spiritual endeavor.Ver libro
Do you want to learn how to effectively manipulate other people? This book aims to be your guide, reference work and companion. People often think that manipulating others is a bad thing. But this does not have to be the case. Consider in advance whether you want to force the person to do something that is not good for them. If you can answer no to this question, what are the arguments against using manipulation techniques? We all unconsciously manipulate other people all the time and are also unconsciously manipulated by others. People who are good manipulators have only learned to do this consciously. We can often even incorporate what the other person wants. Manipulation techniques can therefore help you to deal more ethically with your fellow human beings.Ver libro
