  Dang Dang Doko Dang - The Sound...

  Osho

  Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another.
  This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with.
  Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen.

  Gaslights and Dog Whistles -...

  The U.S. is suffering from toxic polarization. It’s fueled by the abdication of the truth in favor of an alternative reality that now divides us along ideological lines. Race is one of our most polarizing issues, and along with it, critical race theory (CRT), which examines how systems and policies perpetuate racism. Critical race theory is a specialized intellectual field established in the 1980s by legal scholars that describes how discrimination and racism in the United States is not a coincidence, but rather an outcome that is the result of the biased and slanted policies and practices that have disadvantaged non-white people in the U.S. for more than three centuries. 
  Now, many conservative lawmakers are latching on to the concept of CRT as a way to stoke fear of inclusion and change, using CRT as a catch-all phrase for restricting how racism and history are taught in schools. Currently, at least 35 states have passed or considered legislation on race education. 
  The goal of this book is to create some clarity out of the chaos and panic surrounding CRT, and to provide intervention strategies, tactics, and approaches to address the critiques and assertions of CRT skeptics and the anti-CRT lobby. Gaslights and Dog Whistles - Upholding Critical Race Theory and the Real History of Racism in the U.S. illuminates the path we can take to engage our peers in constructive dialogue to both understand their point of view and open up a world of new possibilities for them to move from fear to partnership.

  9/11. The war on terror. Hurricane Katrina. The 2008 financial crisis. The housing crisis. The opioid epidemic. Mass school shootings. Global warming. The Trump presidency. COVID-19. 
   
   
   
  Since they were born, Generation Z (also known as "zoomers")—those born from the late 1990s to early 2000s—have been faced with an onslaught of turmoil, destruction, and instability unprecedented in modern history. And it shows: they are more stressed, anxious, and depressed than previous generations, a phenomenon John Della Volpe has documented heavily. 
   
   
   
  But Gen Z has not buckled under this tremendous weight. On the contrary, they have organized around issues from gun control to racial and environmental justice to economic equity, becoming more politically engaged than their elders, and showing a unique willingness to disrupt the status quo. 
   
   
   
  In Fight: How Gen Z Is Channeling Their Passion and Fear to Save America, Della Volpe draws on his vast experience to show the largest forces shaping zoomers' lives, the issues they care most about, and how they are—despite older Americans' efforts to label Gen Z as overly sensitive, lazy, and entitled—rising to the unprecedented challenges of their time to take control.

  Early Dutch History - Causes and...

  The Netherlands has a history that dates far back, even before Roman times. Although some of the years and estimates of how far back that goes, are based on professional opinions, it is clear that there were people in this area of the world long ago, whether that was 5,000 years ago or 10,000. 
  Early people resided in what's now the Netherlands thousands of years ago, according to flint artifacts discovered in Woerden in the year 2010. A supposed thousands-year-old Neanderthal skull piece was found in sand scraped from the North Sea floor off the coast of Zeeland in the year 2009. 
  Let’s take a look at what happened during the times of the Romans. I remember visiting the Netherlands and visiting the city of Utrecht, a major hub in the central part of the country. According to history, it was called Ultratrajectum about 2,000 years ago, and it was a Roman settlement. Another city with ancient history is Nijmegen, which was called Noviomagus in Roman times. This is all fascinating stuff. 
  After the fall of the Roman Empire, or during it, we slowly see a transition into different cultures, habits, and beliefs, which inaugurated, at the time, the Medieval centuries, the Middle Ages. Let’s explore what happened to the Netherlands area during that time as well.

  There are no rules against applying to a sorority – even if you're not a woman! 
    
  Jim is a straight man and a fresh arrival at the local college where frats and sororities have influence over every part of the school. His girlfriend threatens to leave if he fails to join, but Jimmy unluckily arrives late for registration and is looking at a bleak few years – when he gets a chance to make it right. 
    
  Jim applies, but he must go through the same rituals as the other pledges – exactly the same highly charged, body exploring rituals. He has to join the other young women as they complete their sexy tasks. He gets a makeover to mold him into the image of a sorority pledge and reluctantly does things – and men – he would never dream of while wearing clothes no woman would be seen in public in. 
    
  All this to cling to a relationship with his girlfriend, but that relationship is tested as another man is allowed to ravage her body while he is made to watch – while his manhood trapped in a cage. 
    
  PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.
