Synopsis

In "Civil Government in the United States Considered with Some Reference to Its Origins," John Fiske meticulously analyzes the foundations and evolution of American governance. Employing a clear and didactic literary style, Fiske situates his work within the broader context of political philosophy and historical development, examining the principles of democracy, federalism, and individual rights. His rigorous exploration of constitutional history is woven together with reflections on the social contract theory, illuminating the ideological motivations that shaped the formation of the U.S. government. John Fiske (1842-1901), a prominent American philosopher and historian, was deeply influenced by the turbulent political landscape of his time, as well as by the transcendentalist movement. His background in both theology and history, coupled with a profound interest in social progress, informed his analysis of the American political system. Fiske's works often reveal a commitment to enlightenment principles and a belief in the inevitable progress of humanity, making his insights particularly resonant in a period marked by rapid change. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, political science, or the development of democratic institutions. Fiske's lucid prose and incisive arguments invite readers to reflect on the foundational concepts that continue to shape the U.S. government today, making it not only scholarly intriguing but also relevant to contemporary discussions of governance and citizenship.

    'The twenty-first century is the second, middle century of the three centuries of the present age of Michael, and it is the most decisive one. If humanity again misses Michael's goal, it will hardly be possible to recuperate from it, and human evolution will be derailed for a long time. The present age of Michael can therefore rightly be called 'the Apocalypse of the age of Michael'. – Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon
    In five lively, challenging lectures, Dr Ben-Aharon offers encouraging perspectives on the apocalyptic challenges facing humanity. The key Michaelic task for human beings today, he says, is to comprehend fully the new revelation of the etheric Christ. On the success of this depends humanity's resurrection from the abyss – from the grave of civilization. However, it can still be achieved, and the time is at hand! The author describes the global School of Spiritual Science's contemporary work to create a path to conscious recognition of the Christ and Michael impulses.
    Offering numerous fresh viewpoints into the trials of our time, The Time is at Hand! is an essential handbook for any serious student of anthroposophy. The talks (from 2017 and 2022) are titled: 'Ahrimanic Immortality, the Matrix and the Technological Singularity'; 'Michaelic Immortality'; 'The Two Apocalyptic Beasts and the Mystery of the Wound; 'Follow This Star'; and 'The Time is at Hand!'

    CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates.

    How can we avoid worst-case scenarios? 
    From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Black Mirror, we are all familiar with the tropes of dystopian science fiction. But what if worst-case scenarios could actually become reality? And what if we could do something now to put the world on a better path? 
    In Avoiding the Worst, Tobias Baumann lays out the concept of risks of future suffering (s-risks). With a focus on s-risks that are both realistic and avoidable, he argues that we have strong reasons to consider their reduction a top priority. Finally, he turns to the question of what we can do to help steer the world away from s-risks and towards a brighter future.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 98 by Bhikkhu Khantipālo, 'Heedfulness' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV, narrated by Shelina Hetherington. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    ...The quality of heedfulness has been praised many times by the Exalted Buddha, just as the opposite, heedlessness, has been condemned. In this Dhamma, there is much to be practised and there is practice suitable for every posture of the body and every minute of the day. There is practice to be done concerning the stream of thoughts racing in the mind, there is more practice connected with the thousands of words spoken every day, and there is Dhamma-practice for the body, whatever it is doing. Now none of this can be accomplished without heedfulness, without making effort, without employing mindful awareness, or without wisdom. Heedfulness implies the conscious cultivation of these three aspects of Dhamma: effort, mindfulness and wisdom....
