Beschreibung

In "The Social Contract & Emile," Jean-Jacques Rousseau explores the intricate relationships between individuals and society, presenting a dual narrative on political philosophy and education. "The Social Contract" posits the radical idea that legitimate political authority rests on the collective will of the people, encapsulating Rousseau's belief in the fundamental principles of liberty and equality. Simultaneously, "Emile" serves as a comprehensive treatise on the development of the child into a virtuous citizen, emphasizing the importance of natural education and the cultivation of individual autonomy. Rousseau's lyrical prose reflects Enlightenment ideals, challenging the social norms of his time and influencing modern democratic thought and educational theories. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, experienced a tumultuous life marked by personal and societal strife, which fueled his distrust of contemporary institutions. From his humble beginnings in Geneva to his controversial philosophical insights, Rousseau's fervent advocacy for individual freedom and social reform reveals his deep-seated commitment to improving human coexistence. His works reflect his own struggles with societal expectations, making them a powerful commentary on human nature and governance. This authoritative compilation is vital for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern democratic and educational principles. Rousseau's ideas resonate today, encouraging readers to question established norms and actively engage in the construction of a more just society. "The Social Contract & Emile" is essential reading for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the enduring dialogue between the individual and the collective.

    In April 1943, Commander Peter Gretton was in charge of escorting a vital Allied trade convoy from New York to Great Britain across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage, the sixty-one merchant ships of convoy HX231, along with the six ships of B7 Escort Group, were continuously shadowed and attacked by a German wolf pack of twenty U-boats. 
     
     
     
    With the aid of air support, the convoy and defending escort fought valiantly across hundreds of miles of ocean and, despite poor weather conditions, managed to sink and severely damage several enemy submarines. Tragically six merchant ships were torpedoed and with no rescue vessel any survivors were left stranded in the freezing waters of the Atlantic as the convoy continued on its journey. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on reports from both sides, Gretton details the sequence of events as convoy HX231 battled its way through a large wolf pack and offers an authoritative post-battle analysis of the strategies, decisions, and actions taken that would ultimately see the tide of war turn in favor of victory for the Allies. 
     
     
     
    Crisis Convoy takes the listener to the heart of the action and is a thrilling account of naval warfare during World War II.

    There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. 
     
    Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. 
     
    We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
     
    In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. 
     
    Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
     
    This is the story of the world's most powerful secret and sacred order.

    "Transmigration is not a question of religion. It is a question of science. You are a spiritual being, but because you are materially conditioned, you are under the spell of material nature. When your body is annihilated, you are not finished. You get another body, just as you may change your coat and shirt. Eternally the spirit soul within the body remains the same." Bhaktivedanta Swami 
     
    Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation. 
     
    We can observe we change from one body to another throughout our lifetime. Our body at birth is completely different from our adult body. Yet throughout the conscious self remains the same. Similarly, the self remains the same at death and transfers from one body to the next in the cycle of reincarnation. Our present body is the result of a long series of actions and reactions in previous lives. The law that governs this is known as karma. Our previous actions have produced our present body, and our current actions will determine our next body. Only in the human form can we free ourselves from the endless cycle of reincarnation, of birth, and death. As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita “From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one attains to My abode.. never takes birth again.” 
     
    Here in this unique audio work are the ancient secrets of reincarnation from a 50-year devotee of the Vedas and devotional yoga. A rare and vitally important mystical audiobook adventure.
