Synopsis

Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World is a historical document that chronicles the travels and discoveries of Captain James Cook during his first circumnavigation of the globe. It provides a firsthand account of the expedition that took place from 1768 to 1771.

During this voyage, Captain Cook commanded the HMS Endeavour, a British Royal Navy ship. The primary objective of the expedition was to observe the transit of Venus across the sun, which would help determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun. However, the journey also aimed to explore and chart unknown lands, particularly in the South Pacific.

Cook's journal offers a detailed record of the places visited, encounters with indigenous peoples, descriptions of the flora and fauna discovered, and the challenges faced during the voyage. It provides insights into the navigational methods used by Cook and his crew, as well as their interactions with local inhabitants in various parts of the world.

Some of the notable events recorded in the journal include the ship's arrival in Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus, the exploration of the eastern coast of Australia, the discovery of the Great Barrier Reef, encounters with the Maori people of New Zealand, and the exploration of the Pacific islands, including Tahiti, New Caledonia, and the Society Islands.

Cook's journal not only serves as a historical account but also contributes to our understanding of the cultural and natural history of the regions visited during the voyage. It provides valuable information about the early interactions between European explorers and indigenous populations, as well as the scientific discoveries made during the expedition.

The journal has been widely studied and referenced by historians, scholars, and researchers interested in the Age of Exploration and the Pacific region. It offers valuable insights into the world as seen through the eyes of Captain Cook and his crew during their groundbreaking journey.

James Cook (1728-1779) was a British explorer, navigator, and naval officer who is best known for his voyages of exploration in the Pacific Ocean. He made significant contributions to the mapping and exploration of the Pacific, particularly in the regions of Australia, New Zealand, and the Hawaiian Islands.

Emiliano Zapata - His Life Death...

Kelly Mass

Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. 
Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head. 
Let’s learn more about this historical figure through this book.

Enquiry Concerning the...

David Hume

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals by David Hume is a philosophical work that explores the nature of morality and its foundation. Hume argues that morality is derived from human sentiments rather than reason. He rejects the idea of a priori moral principles and suggests that our moral judgments are based on our emotions and experiences. 
Hume emphasizes the role of sympathy and benevolence in moral decision-making. He contends that our moral judgments are influenced by our ability to empathize with others and our desire to promote human happiness. Hume also discusses the importance of virtue and vice, arguing that these concepts are rooted in our social and emotional nature.

The Kybalion - A Modern Version...

The Three Initiates, Bootsy...

The Kybalion is the fundamental book on Hermetic Philosophy.
This book explains the nature of existence in Seven Principles according to Ancient Egyptian Philosophy. This information was kept hidden and passed down throughout the ages and contains the underlying principles of Truth found in all systems of thought.
This information can be applied to life in a practical or magical way.
This book was created based on the message inscribed on the Emerald Tablet of Thoth or “Hermes Trismigestus”. Thoth is said to be an Ascended Master who came back to Egypt to share the secrets of the Universe with Civilization.
Some of the most prominent thinkers and inventors credit the Emerald Tablet as the Secret to their achievements including Sir Isaac Newton, Madam Blavatsky, Fulcanelli and many more.
This mythological knowledge is the basis of Hermetic Law, explained by the Seven Hermetic axioms which describe by nature, the operating principles of existence.
These principles can be used to experience maximum fulfillment in life, make new discoveries and attain extraordinary goals. These are the secret principles on which our world operates and they can be applied in order to fulfill our deepest desires.
The Kybalion was written anonymously by the Three Initiates in the early 1900’s as a book to share the secrets of the Hermetic Order.
These initiates claim to be Masons of the highest degree although they never disclose their identities. Much speculation has gone into who the actual author(s) of the book were but regardless of who wrote it, this document serves to be the fundamental guide to the structure of reality as we know it.
“The Lips of Wisdom are Closed. Except to the Ears of Understanding.”
—The Kybalion
