Raided by the Roman Soldiers...

Archer Vale

I have a secret—something that’s consuming my life. 
Strength…it’s what matters most in the military. If you’re skinny and weak like me, then you need allies. You need to prove your worth. 
You go into the woods with more powerful men. 
You open your mouth and thank them while they use you. 
Then you go back to camp and cook their food. You make their beds. You fall to your knees and beg to do it all again tomorrow. 
That’s how life is for boys like us. We’re born to be controlled. 
It’s natural.

The Science of Immortality

D.N. Dunlop

The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH  
IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS 
X. THE IMMORTAL SOUL

Hebrew Prophets The: A Jewish...

David Ben Yosef

This book explores the concept of prophecy in Judaism as defined by two great figures of Jewish history. Moses Maimonides and Abraham Joshua Heschel are two influential scholars who have impacted the many streams of Judaism. A simplistic dichotomy could be made between their two perspectives labeling Maimonides as a rational philosopher and Heschel as a mystical one. Both the study of Jewish prophecy and the approaches of both of the scholars are complex topics, but not impossible to decipher. The nature of revelation is also part of this discussion. To some scholars Maimonides' and Heschel's perspectives of God seem to be in conflict, one being Aristotelian while the other being a more traditional one in line with the Bible and the Talmud.With these factors in mind and based on the available data my book will support the following contention: Maimonides' and Heschel's different philosophical approaches about the biblical prophets are within the bounds of classical Judaism.
