  Benjamin Franklin left behind quite a legacy as an inventor, politician, and philosopher.

This delightful excerpt from his memoir shows how Franklin got his start in the printing business and demonstrates his skill as a humorist.

  Did you know that the Dutch were some of the first who came up with stocks? They were also known for their gigantic fleet, their ships, their colonies, and so much more. The 17th century was a golden age, a golden century for the Dutch, who discovered how to go to the new world in Asia, America, and other continents to transport spices, minerals, and other materials.The Dutch East India Company, officially the United East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie; VOC), was a megacorporation created in the early 17th century by a government-directed merger of many competing Dutch trade services.You might think that Amazon or Google is big, but the VOC is still thought to be the world's biggest corporation in documented history. It was established on March 20th, 1602, as a chartered business to trade with Mughal India in the early contemporary period, from which it imported 50% of fabrics and 80% of silks, mostly from the Bengal Subah area. In addition, when the Dutch federal government rewarded it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade, the business traded with Indianized Southeast Asian nations.Find out more about this by going through this book.

  Out Of This World introduces Neville’s “fourth-dimensional” view: the future is not a distant place, but a state you can enter now through imagination. He teaches you to live from the end; mentally occupying the completed outcome until it feels natural. By shifting state, you shift the world you experience. This book is a clear bridge between mystical ideas and a disciplined method for selecting and sustaining a new reality.
  
  “Live in the end” methodology
  States as realities you can enter now
  Imagination as time-transcending power
  Practical mental discipline and persistence

  Queering Contemplation - Finding...

  Cassidy Hall

  The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. 
   
   
   
  Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. 
   
   
   
  As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome—and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands. 
   
   
   
  Whether you're queer or want to queer your own perspectives, Hall throws open the doors of contemplative spirituality for all, bringing us to contemplation in very new, sometimes old, but always queer ways.
