Sinopse

Cultural Conquest Spread examines how empires throughout world history have significantly shaped cultural landscapes by disseminating their religion, language, and societal norms. It asserts that conquest isn't solely political or military; its cultural dimensions have profoundly molded the modern world. The book explores the mechanics of cultural imposition and its lasting consequences, offering insights into contemporary cultural identities and international relations.

For instance, the spread of Islam and Arabic across North Africa and the Middle East following Islamic conquests demonstrates how deeply conquest can influence language and religion. The book challenges readers to consider how military dominance intertwines with cultural dissemination. It uses case studies such as the Roman Empire's influence on European languages and laws, and European colonialism's impact on indigenous cultures in the Americas. These examples illustrate various strategies used to spread culture, from forced assimilation to subtle adoption through trade and social interaction.

The book progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework, then delving into specific historical instances, and finally, analyzing the lasting implications on modern societies. By drawing upon historical chronicles, archaeological findings, and linguistic analyses, Cultural Conquest Spread offers a comprehensive overview of cultural conquest. It connects to fields like anthropology and linguistics, providing a holistic perspective on cultural change. This approach helps readers understand how cultural heritage and ongoing debates about colonialism are intertwined with historical power dynamics.

Senility And the Brain Cells -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
• Is the human brain deteriorating? 
• The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
• Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
• Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
• The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
time, is no longer there. 
• If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
themselves. 
• Meditation is insight.

Karma Yoga

Bhikshu

The lessons included in this book are written by an Asiatic for the English-speaking peoples of the world, and suffer from the fact that the mother tongue of the writer is not English nor Sanskrit and that his metaphysic is oriental. Much of the teaching that 1s given here has been given out privately in the Yogic schools of the select, though not in the practical form herein presented. The excuse for the book is the need of arrangement before doubting, enquiring minds prepared to question every argument and assertion; of facts and theories so that they fit in with the composite scheme presented by the Yogi philosophy.
