The Conspiracists - Women...

Noelle Cook

Leafing through photos from the January 6 insurrection, extremist researcher Noelle Cook was struck by how many women looked like her: middle-aged white women in puffy coats. Women were not on the fringes of the extreme right, she realized. They were radicalizing each other, and the pandemic was changing them. So who were the women of J6? And why did some of them believe in shape-shifting reptilians and the health benefits of colloidal silver? 
 
This is the world scholars call conspirituality, in which New Age religion, online wellness culture, and extremism blend and become laced with antisemitic and racist theories. With acute attention to the emotional lives of women and research on conspiracism, Cook introduces us to Tammy, who believed storming the Capitol would help take down a global cabal of pedophiles. We also meet Yvonne, convinced she is a starseed destined to lead others into the fifth dimension. We visit a trade show where vendors hawk everything from quantum healing devices to government cover-ups, and trace the movement's roots to a nineteenth-century mystical philosophy. Women are crafting entire worlds and we ignore these worlds at our own peril. As misinformation spreads and extremism intensifies, The Conspiracists does not seek to excuse women's conspiracism but rather to understand it. Otherwise, we have no hope of countering its force.

Hanuman The Servitor Of Ram -...

Sripad Jaganantha Das

"Sripad Jagannatha Dasa guides us into the sacred heart space of this life-changing hymn as only a dedicated lifelong Ram bhakta may. A self-realized yogi - a wonderful trip!." The Yoga Journal

"I bow to the Hanuman who is swifter than the mind and wind. The sacred one who has controlled his senses, the one who is the epitome of learning and wisdom. Salutations to the son of the God of Air and chief of the Vanaras, I pray always to Lord Hanuman."

The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "ch?l?s?" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman - his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day.

Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor.

Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects. By honoring Hanuman one is blessed with all kinds of siddhis including power, valor, prosperity, and devotion.

Reciting or hearing the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person's resilience and they emerge victorious in every challenging situation.

Compassionate Listening - The...

Esther Jameson

Compassionate listening is an art that involves fully engaging with another person’s words, emotions, and underlying experiences. At its core, it goes beyond simply hearing someone speak; it is a deep, intentional act of understanding. It is about listening with the heart as much as with the ears, which requires a unique combination of patience, presence, and empathy. 
To practice compassionate listening, the first step is to give the speaker our undivided attention. In today’s world, where distractions are constant, the act of truly focusing on the speaker can be revolutionary. This means setting aside your phone, shutting off mental distractions, and focusing solely on the other person. It may sound simple, but it is often a challenge, especially when our minds are preoccupied with our own thoughts, tasks, or judgments. 
Equally important is the ability to listen with empathy. This involves not only understanding the words being spoken but also feeling and acknowledging the emotions behind them. Empathetic listening allows us to connect with others on a deeper level. It creates a sense of trust and comfort for the speaker, as they feel understood and valued. When we truly listen, we show others that their thoughts and feelings matter, fostering an environment where open communication can flourish.

Albert Einstein Zen Master - The...

Matthew Barnes

Albert Einstein was a Zen master?  
I think so, and I aim to prove it.  
Imagine understanding how Einstein viewed the world, the Universe, and God. What if you could have the same understanding? How could it change your own outlook on life? 
Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Tao Te Ching 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master presents his case for Einstein as being not only one of the most influential scientists of our time but also one of the most spiritual (in his own, unique way).  
In this work, you’ll discover:  
   • In what ways Einstein’s views of reality coincide with those of some of the greatest Zen masters to have ever lived, past and present.  
   • Why Einstein considered himself to be “a deeply religious nonbeliever”. 
    (Do you know what he considered himself to be instead?) 
   • Why Einstein felt his viewpoints on God to be a “somewhat new kind of religion”. 
    (Hint: It turns out that his views may not have been all that new, but really really old instead.) 
   • How you too can begin to enjoy Einstein’s view of the world, the Universe, and God.  
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” -Albert Einstein
