Summary

In "Knowing and Acting," John Alexander Smith presents a thought-provoking exploration of the interplay between knowledge and action in ethical decision-making. Written in a lucid style enriched with philosophical insights, the book examines various epistemological frameworks, arguing for a nuanced understanding of how knowledge influences moral behavior. Smith deftly navigates historical and contemporary philosophical thought, drawing from figures such as Aristotle and Kant, and intertwining this analysis with real-world examples that resonate with today's ethical dilemmas. Through a blend of rigorous argumentation and accessible prose, Smith invites readers to reflect critically on their own beliefs and actions. John Alexander Smith, a prominent philosopher and educator, has dedicated his career to studying the intersections of ethics, knowledge, and social responsibility. Influenced by his extensive research in epistemology and moral philosophy, Smith's perspective is shaped by both his academic training and his personal commitment to fostering a more ethical society. His insights are informed by years of teaching and dialogue with students, where the practical implications of knowledge have continually emerged as a focal point. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of how our knowledge shapes our actions, "Knowing and Acting" offers a compelling framework for examining the moral implications of our beliefs. This book is essential for students, educators, and anyone interested in ethical philosophy, serving as both a guide and a call to action in the pursuit of a more conscientious life.

    What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
 
Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
 
Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
 
Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
 
Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
 
Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

    The Maurya Empire, one of the most significant dynasties in Indian history, emerged in the late 4th century BCE. Its foundations were laid by Chandragupta Maurya, who, with the guidance of his advisor Chanakya, overthrew the ruling Nanda dynasty and established a powerful empire. The rise of the Mauryas marked a turning point in Indian history, as they created a centralized and efficient administration that governed vast territories. 
Before the Maurya Empire, the Indian subcontinent was fragmented into various kingdoms and republics. The dominant power during this time was the Nanda dynasty, which ruled over Magadha, a region in present-day Bihar. Though the Nandas controlled a significant portion of northern India, their rule was marked by heavy taxation and unpopular policies, which created discontent among the people and the military. This environment of dissatisfaction provided an opportunity for Chandragupta Maurya to challenge their authority. 
Chandragupta’s rise to power is closely linked to Chanakya, a scholar and strategist who had been humiliated by the Nandas. Seeking revenge, Chanakya trained Chandragupta in statecraft, military tactics, and governance. With his mentor’s guidance, Chandragupta built an army and gradually expanded his influence. By allying with local rulers and gaining the support of disgruntled soldiers, he launched a successful campaign against the Nandas, eventually seizing control of Magadha around 321 BCE.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. This recording is from 1939.
