  White Thinking - Behind the Mask...

  Lilian Thuram

  What does it mean to be white? Beyond just a skin colour, is it also a way of thinking? If so, how did it come about, and why? 
   
  In this book, drawing on history, personal experience and activist literature, the former footballer and World Champion Lilian Thuram looks at the origins and workings of white thinking, how it divides us and how it has become ubiquitous and accepted without challenge. He demonstrates how centuries of white bias and denial justified slavery and colonialism, and have reinforced norms and structures of oppression, limiting the roles and horizons of both non-whites and whites alike. 
  Crucially, while White Thinking is a critique of ingrained structural inequities, it calls for an inclusive approach to solving the problem, and aims to raise awareness and imagine a new world in which all of humanity is given equal weight. 
  “White Thinking patiently demonstrates… how European societies, through their creation of Black people, also invented White people.” LE MONDE 
  “Strikes another blow in his battle against racial stereotypes.” LA VIE 
  “This book is not interested in repentance or white guilt but in the ability to face up to historical reality and to the fact that others might have a very different understanding of that history.” REVUE DES DEUX MONDES 
  “He is almost unique amongst retired sportspeople, having left his old life behind him in the dressing room. Today, the activist has replaced the footballer.” LIBÉRATION

  Book of Secret Wisdom The: The...

  Hidden away for long millennia, the world’s most ancient sacred text reveals the past, present, and future of humanity 
  A million years ago, the Great Masters of Wisdom recorded a mysterious manuscript widely known as the Book of Dzyan — a Tibetan name meaning the Book of Secret Wisdom. Written in a language unfamiliar to modern philology, called Senzar, this oldest book in the world has served as the source of every ancient religion, philosophy, and science. 
  The Masters stored it in the legendary realm of Shambhala, each century admitting only a few chosen ones to read some of its pages. Thus, in the 19th century, Madame Blavatsky was permitted to translate and publish nineteen stanzas from the Book of Dzyan in her highly influential masterwork, The Secret Doctrine. 
    
   Now a new excerpt, consisting of twelve stanzas and supplemented with exclusive material, is published in English for the first time. Reading through the pages of this work, you will be able to trace the whole course of the spiritual evolution of humanity and our Earth beyond Time and Space: 
  ·        understand the processes currently affecting our planet, which manifest daily in anomalous weather, global warming, and natural disasters around the world 
  ·        discover what was behind the famous prophecies of 1999 and 2012, as well as learn about the great significance of 2017 in the history of modern humanity 
  ·        peer into the near future that awaits us all within the next few decades and explore the magnificent distant times of Divine Humanity 
    
  With every new reading, more and more secrets will be revealed

  His Side - Men Speak Out on...

  PhD Helen Smith

  Men don't tell you what they really think, but they tell psychologist Helen Smith—and she tells you.James Brown said that it's a man's world. That was then. Today, men are living in a female-centered society that shares and pervades their lives whether they realize it or not. Our modern culture views dating, marriage, and domestic life almost exclusively through women's eyes and voices; men are simply seen as objects that women can order or reject by swiping on a dating app. Men's needs and feelings are left out of the equation, or seen as downright undeserved. From the COVID Karens who scold those without masks to the den mothers who run society and the workplace, men are inundated with messages that the male point of view is unwelcome and unheard.His Side brings previously silenced straight male perspectives to light with in-person interviews by psychologist and men's rights advocate Helen Smith, author of Men on Strike. These interviews are first-person accounts of how young, middle-aged, and older men experience dating apps, marriage, and work while living in a world that no longer values masculine traits and desires. It is a psychological and political look into the mind of the modern male—terrain that is rarely explored in our female-centered society.
