  Mankind can rule itself without the force of top-down authority, and freedom is more than just choosing how to meet the needs and demands of capital. Inequality is structural and intentional, not inevitable and necessary. It does not have to be this way. In solidarity, we are better.Think for yourself, and question authority.This is the essence of anarchism, which has a bad name and reputation because it attacks the necessity of centralised power and authority. The media archetype is Tyler Durden, filled with violence and nihilism – yet anarchism is the most positive of political philosophies, one that Jesus and Buddha both preached, stating that empathy and a rejection of authority were key to human flourishing. Neither would disagree with most early anarchists.Proudhon, whose “property is robbery” is perhaps the most well-known anarchist slogan, lays out the conceptual foundation for key anarchist ideas. He argues that usury (charging interest) is a fundamental harm to society, that there is enough for everyone if we simply take other values to be higher than capital gain, that mutualism is inevitable, and that all governments and ideologies make the same mistake, in trying to change society from the top. Positive change must arise from the great masses of humanity, not from their rulers.Bakunin's speeches are about solidarity arising from the masses, and the ground for a global reconfiguration.Louis Lingg was convicted to death with six others, for being one of the ‘Chicago Anarchists’. They were executed to make a political point, based on corrupted evidence and perjury. His statement is one of contempt for the powers that be, and his belief that mankind should be free and should fight until it is.We end with Kropotkin, who firmly believed in decentralized society. He believed that the greatest strength of mankind lies in the masses, not their rulers, and exhorts us to “Act for Yourselves”.

  HEAL PRESENCE OF THE PASTFamilies repeat unresolved trauma in future generations.We are influenced by those who came before us and influencing those who come after. Everything in the universe is interconnected so are we. We inherit cultures and experiences. This is known as collective unconscious or memory in nature.It organises itself in systems such as flock of birds, religions, countries, football teams and so on, but the most important system for human beings is the family. Family systems are responsible for how we live and how we thrive through natural laws called 'The Orders of Love".The orders of love rarely exist intact within the average family. They dictate who belongs and what will happen to the family when a member has been excluded by them in an attempt to achieve collective hamony. Exclusions are separations and create trauma, disruption and unbalance. They are known as entanglements and are cause of pain and suffering. Restablishing these orders will bring peace an freedom to the individual and to the group.'The idea of the memory being the brain is an assumption. Everything that happens in our culture we inherit,' Rupert Sheldrake.Whilst life is the greatest gift given to us by our parents, trauma is the greatest obstacle. It plays like a broken record, in cycles and shows itself through symptoms well known to all:  drug addiction, lack of motivation, new partner with the same behaviour as the old one, always working but broke most of the time...- What if a man’s drug addiction were really a search for connection with his father?- Suppose a suicidal adolescent was unconsciously trying to follow the fate of an older brother who wasn't born because the mother had a miscarriage?- What if a woman’s breast cancer were rooted in the unconscious feeling of guilt for having had an abortion?- Why do marriages where a spouse who cheated then was forgiven ends?This book brings, in simple language, the theory and 25 case studies.

  The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.

  Mutapa Empire - The Strategic...

  The Mutapa Empire, also known as the Kingdom of Mutapa, emerged in the 15th century as a powerful Shona state in southern Africa. Its origins are deeply rooted in the earlier civilizations of the region, particularly the Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe, from which it inherited its political structures, trade networks, and cultural traditions. As Great Zimbabwe began to decline due to overpopulation, resource depletion, and internal conflicts, new centers of power arose, with Mutapa becoming the most dominant. 
  According to oral tradition, the empire was founded by a prince named Nyatsimba Mutota, who left Great Zimbabwe in search of new resources, particularly salt. His journey led him northward, where he conquered smaller communities and established a new political center. Mutota’s leadership allowed him to unite different groups under his rule, forming the early foundations of the Mutapa Empire. His successors, particularly his son Matope, expanded the empire further, consolidating power over a vast territory that included present-day Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and parts of Zambia and South Africa. 
  The name “Mutapa” itself carries significant meaning, often interpreted as “conqueror” or “master pillager,” reflecting the empire’s expansionist nature. The title “Mwene Mutapa” was given to its rulers, signifying supreme authority over both the people and the land. Under this leadership, the empire became highly centralized, with the Mwene Mutapa holding absolute power while relying on regional chiefs to manage local governance. This political structure allowed for effective control over its vast territories and trade networks.
