Beschreibung

The anthology 'The Queen's Daughters in India' examines the intricate tapestry of women's experiences and contributions against the backdrop of a colonized India. This collection encompasses a rich array of literary styles ranging from first-person narratives to analytical essays, weaving together stories of perseverance, cultural encounters, and resilience. The compilation's cultural and historical significance is undeniable, offering an intimate glimpse into the lives of women navigating the complexities of identity and agency amidst colonial rule. Standout pieces in this volume illuminate the interplay between personal narratives and broader sociopolitical landscapes, offering unique insights into the era. Contributing authors Elizabeth W. Andrew and Katharine C. Bushnell offer a wealth of knowledge through distinct yet complementary perspectives. Both women were trailblazers in advocating for women's rights and have left a lasting impact on feminist discourse. Their writings, rooted in personal experiences and conscientious activism, add profound depth to this anthology. The collection draws on historical, cultural, and literary movements exploring the women's suffrage and rights movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revealing how these voices helped shape and propel change within and beyond the Indian subcontinent. 'Queen's Daughters in India' is an enlightening read for anyone seeking to understand the cross-cultural dialogues surrounding gender and imperialism. It invites readers to reflect on the multiplicity of perspectives offered, enhancing understanding of the global dimensions of women's struggles and triumphs. Through its diverse array of voices and styles, this volume encourages a multifaceted exploration of societal issues that remain relevant today, making it an invaluable resource for academics, students, and general readers alike.

    Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

    Basic Alchemical Meditation -...

    This is a Basic Alchemical Meditation compounded from meditative techniques used by alchemists such as Paracelsus, Basil Valintine, and Jakob Boehme. There are three general steps in the full meditation that correspond to the three phases of alchemy. The first phase is the Nigredo (darkening, death, and putrefaction of the ego), which consists of two operations in which one attempts to Disengage Physically and Disengage Mentally from the world. The second phase is the Albedo (whitening and purification) in which one achieves original innocence or Zero-state Consciousness. The third phase is Rubedo (reddening or empowered integration into a new level of being) that is found in continued Meditation in the Pure Light. 
         Overall, the first two phases represent a progressive resurrection and purification of the light of consciousness to prepare for the transformative, one-pointed “Meditation in the Pure Light” phase. In that phase, alchemists feel they are working with the logoic light to transform reality in not only the inner lab or soul but also in the objective material reality of their “laboratory” or outer world. 
         Whether you are a novice meditator or experienced, the following instructions should be helpful in achieving Meditation in the Pure Light. But feel free to follow your own path in meditation or customize these steps to fit your regimen. The most important lesson is to grasp is the dual nature of our reality—the spiritual and material realms in which we exist. The bridge between those two realms can only be found in the Pure Light—in what Paracelsus called the “True Imagination.”
