Synopsis

Ancient Beliefs explores how early civilizations grappled with life's mysteries, shaping the foundations of human culture through their religious practices. From the dawn of animism and shamanism in prehistoric societies to the complex pantheons of Mesopotamia and Egypt, the book traces the evolution of religious thought. Intriguingly, monumental architecture, like the pyramids, served not only as symbols of power but also as expressions of deeply held spiritual beliefs. Furthermore, early religious beliefs weren't just primitive superstitions; they were sophisticated systems that fostered social cohesion and provided meaning in the face of existential questions. The book's approach blends archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies to offer a multifaceted understanding of ancient beliefs. It delves into recovered cuneiform tablets, Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions, and early Greek and Roman literature. Organized into three parts, the book first introduces religion in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, then analyzes specific religious systems, and finally, explores the societal impact of these beliefs on political power, social hierarchies, and artistic expression. The book ultimately demonstrates how ancient beliefs continue to resonate in contemporary society.

    The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
    In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
    I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
    II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
    III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
    IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY

    Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it.
    		 
    Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid’s exile and Dostoevsky’s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.

    Brazil's economic history is a dynamic and complex tale shaped by diverse influences, from colonial exploitation to modern-day challenges and opportunities. As the largest country in South America, Brazil’s economic evolution has mirrored its political, social, and cultural transformations. This journey began with its colonial era under Portuguese rule, which laid the foundation for Brazil’s agricultural-based economy. Over the centuries, Brazil shifted from a colony dependent on sugar and gold to a rapidly industrializing nation, emerging as an economic powerhouse in Latin America. 
    The early economic landscape of Brazil was heavily reliant on natural resources, particularly agriculture. The Portuguese established vast sugar plantations along Brazil’s northeastern coast, utilizing enslaved labor from Africa. This system of exploitation became the backbone of the Brazilian economy for centuries. Later, the discovery of gold in the 18th century led to a gold rush that contributed significantly to Brazil's wealth, though it also exacerbated regional disparities and social inequalities. 
    As the 19th century unfolded, Brazil transitioned into an empire, and its economic structure shifted once again. Coffee became the dominant export, driving the expansion of the country’s agricultural economy. The development of railways and the establishment of coffee plantations in the southeastern regions played a critical role in consolidating Brazil’s position as a major global supplier. However, this period of growth was also marked by profound social and economic inequalities, particularly in the form of slavery, which continued until its abolition in 1888.
