Summary

Henry Drummond's "Ultimate Collection" compiles a rich tapestry of his spiritual and philosophical writings, capturing the essence of his thought-provoking arguments and advocacy for a more profound appreciation of human existence. Drummond's literary style is imbued with a poetic sensibility, blending eloquent prose with a persuasive theological insight. His works emerge from the landscape of late 19th-century evangelicalism, reflecting a pivotal period in which faith and science began to explore common ground, making his writings both timely and timeless in their exploration of divine love and moral purpose. As a renowned Scottish preacher, biologist, and lecturer, Drummond's diverse background significantly informs his writings. His interactions with figures like Charles Darwin and his participation in the broader cultural debates of his time imbued his philosophy with a unique interdisciplinary approach. The intersection of faith and reason in his works exemplifies his desire to bridge the gap between religious belief and scientific inquiry, promoting a message of inclusivity and enlightenment. This "Ultimate Collection" is a must-read for those interested in the confluence of spirituality and intellectual discourse. Its profound insights offer readers not just a glimpse into Drummond's mind but a transformative perspective on life's deeper meanings, making it an essential addition to the library of any seeker of wisdom.

    The Great Northern War, fought from 1700-1721, gets its name from the fact the war focused on the Baltic, but the battlefields extended into Germany and deep into Poland and Ukraine. Sweden was a military power with a small empire in the Baltic, while Russia was still a landlocked place, backward when compared to the rest of Europe, not very powerful, and highly xenophobic. The Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth was still powerful, and the Cossacks were still free. Moreover, despite the fact the Ottoman Empire was weakened, it held sway in the Balkans and deep into Eastern Europe, and the Krim Tatars were still raiding into Ukraine, Russia, and Poland for slaves. The Great Northern War would involve the Ottomans and the Tatars as well. 
	Given the length of the conflict, perhaps it’s not surprising that other Western European kingdoms ended up in the mix. Brandenburg-Prussia was involved in the later phases of the war - Frederick William was an elector of Brandenburg and had just been granted the right (by the Holy Roman Emperor) to call himself king in Prussia. He held both titles, but there was still a formal separation between Brandenburg and Prussia. Frederick William was strongly interested in acquiring some or all of Pomerania, a region on the Baltic coast, particularly in acquiring a port, which would eliminate paying Swedish tolls in Swedish-controlled ports. 
	Ultimately, the most important aspect of the war is that it laid the foundations for the Russian Empire. By 1718, the Russians had conquered most of Finland, the port of Riga, and the Swedish city of Vyborg. These gains in the Baltic Sea strengthened the burgeoning Russian Empire and provided ports and access to the rich resources of Finland, including valuable meat and lumber. Peter also proved to be a rather benevolent conqueror, allowing these regions to maintain both their faith and culture.

    The Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana. 
 
Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice. 
 
Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.
