  Totemsim Tattoo and Fetishism as...

  So ancient was Totemism in Egypt that the Totems of the human Mothers had become the signs of Goddesses, in whom the head of the beast was blended with the figure of the human female. The Totems of the human Mothers had attained the highest status as Totems of a Motherhood that was held to be divine, the Motherhood in Nature which was elemental in its origin. --from "Totemism, Tattoo and Fetishism as Forms of Sign Language" It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a "hidden history" of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey's massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World--first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar--redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality--particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood--and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

  Depression and Burnout -...

  This book consists of two titles which are: 
  Depression VS Laziness - Laziness is often associated with a lack of desire to do things, simply choosing to avoid effort or responsibility. It can be seen as a personal failing or a bad habit, something that can be corrected by willpower and discipline. However, the concept of laziness often oversimplifies the complex reasons people may avoid action. Many factors, including fear, perfectionism, or lack of structure, can contribute to this behavior. Depression, on the other hand, is a mental health condition that goes far beyond feeling "lazy." It's characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can impact every aspect of life, including sleep, appetite, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike laziness, which is typically seen as a temporary choice, depression can cause deep, overwhelming fatigue that can make even the most basic tasks feel insurmountable. 
  Recognizing Burnout - Burnout is a term often thrown around to describe feelings of exhaustion or dissatisfaction, but its true meaning goes much deeper. It is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive stress. Unlike a passing bout of tiredness, burnout doesn’t resolve with a weekend of rest or a day off. It builds over time, slowly depleting your energy, motivation, and ability to function effectively. Yet, for many, the signs of burnout can be easy to overlook, often dismissed as laziness or a lack of ambition.

  Lucius D Clay - An American Life

  Jean Edward Smith

  • 0

  A military biography of the American soldier and statesman who managed the WWII Lend-Lease program and acted as governor of postwar Germany.During World War II, President Roosevelt called upon Lucius D. Clay to run military procurement. It took a man of his logistical genius to oversee the requirements of an eight-million-man army. Clay set priorities, negotiated contracts, monitored production, and coordinated military Lend-Lease—all without a breath of scandal.In 1945, Clay was called upon once again to act as military governor of a decimated Germany. He dealt with everything from de-Nazification to quarrelsome allies, from feeding a starving people to processing vast numbers of homeless and displaced. Above all, he had to convince a doubting American public and a hostile State Department that German recovery was essential to the stability of Europe.Clay went on to play key roles in business and politics, advising presidents of both parties. He helped run Eisenhower's 1952 campaign, led the federal highway program, raised the ransom money for the Bay of Pigs prisoners, and boosted morale in Germany as the Berlin Wall was built. In honor of their debt to him, the Berliners placed a simple stone tablet at his West Point grave: Wir Danken Dem Bewahrer Unserer Freiheit—We Thank the Defender of Our Freedom.

  The American Operations in WW2:...

  World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in North Ease Asia from 29 January to 15 July 1945. 
  At the beginning of 1945, less than eight months remained before the final surrender of Japan. Those eight months, however, were to see some of the bitterest fighting of the war. Although the final outcome was no longer in doubt, when and how the conflict would end remained unclear. The American naval blockade of Japan, combined with a growing air offensive, was placing a serious strain on Japan's economy. Yet any invasion of the Japanese home islands would most likely be drawn out and extremely costly in lives. There was also the danger that even with the capture of the home islands the war might not end, but continue interminably on the Asian mainland, where large numbers of Japanese troops occupied Korea, Manchuria, and the richest and most populous areas of China.
  While American forces in the Pacific had been making dramatic progress since early 1942, the Allied effort in the China-Burma-India theater had bogged down in a morass of conflicting national objectives. The hope Americans held in the early stages of the war, that Chinese manpower and bases would play a vital role in the defeat of Japan, was unrealized. Americans sought to achieve great aims on the Asian mainland at small cost, looking to the British in India and the Chinese, with their vast reservoirs of manpower, to carry the main burden of the ground conflict. Neither proved capable of exerting the effort the Americans had hoped...
