  The Dhammapada Vol 5 - The Way...

  Osho

  • 0

  "The World Is on Fire" is the title of the first chapter in this fifth volume of The Dhammapada, Osho's contemporary presentation of the sayings of Buddha. What does Buddha mean by fire? He means anguish, anxiety, despair, misery; that's what Buddha means by fire. It is a symbol. Everybody is on fire because everybody is divided, split, schizophrenic. Everybody is on fire because there is great anxiety in the world, the anxiety of: "Am I going to make it this time or not?" Does this sound familiar to you?
  This series is not an interpretation of Buddhism, it is not intended to turn you into a Buddhist. Osho does not promote any following or old scriptures—at all.
  This series is all about raising of our consciousness, about real wisdom—and it is not coming from some ancient religious figure—it comes from you, it is inside of you. Buddha experienced it, Osho shared the experience and you can too. It is not coming from someone—it is discovered within ourselves. Buddha speaks in the language of his day; Osho speaks our language—he takes the role of a spiritual translator of a message which is timeless.
  In these crazy times—find a nice space, start listening to this series of talks and Osho takes you into a world of wonders—within yourself.

  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 Normandy from 6 June to 24 July 1944. 
  A great invasion force stood off the Normandy coast of France as dawn broke on 6 June 1944: 9 battleships, 23 cruisers, 104 destroyers, and 71 large landing craft of various descriptions as well as troop transports, minesweepers, and merchantmen—in all, nearly 5,000 ships of every type. The naval bombardment that began at 0550 that morning detonated large minefields along the shoreline and destroyed a number of the enemy's defensive positions. To one correspondent, reporting from the deck of the cruiser HMS Hillary, it sounded like "the rhythmic beating of a gigantic drum" all along the coast. In the hours following the bombardment, more than 100,000 fighting men swept ashore to begin one of the epic assaults of history, a "mighty endeavor," as President Franklin D. Roosevelt described it to the American people, "to preserve . . . our civilization and to set free a suffering humanity."
  The attack had been long in coming. From the moment British forces had been forced to withdraw from France in 1940 in the face of an overwhelming German onslaught, planners had plotted a return to the Continent. Only in that way would the Allies be able to confront the enemy's power on the ground, liberate northwestern Europe, and put an end to the Nazi regime...

  COVID WARS - America's Struggle...

  Ronald Gruner

  • 0

  A sweeping, deeply researched chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic, weaving together science, politics, and personal freedoms. 
  Ronald Gruner, with the precision of a historian and the curiosity of a citizen, takes the listener from the roots of virology in the 19th century to the chaotic pandemic years of 2020–2022. The book doesn’t just tell the story of a virus—it lays bare the cultural and political divide that shaped America’s uneven and often painful response. 
  Gruner’s writing is crisp, and he breaks down complex topics without dumbing them down. The opening chapters—“Contagium” and “The Warning”—build a compelling backstory on pandemics past, from the 1918 Spanish Flu to the eerie predictions of the Bush and Obama administrations. 
  COVID WARS isn’t shy about calling out failures. Politicians, conspiracy theorists, media figures, and even some public health leaders get held accountable. The chapter “The Divide” lays it all out—how the pandemic morphed from a health emergency into a political food fight. Gruner points fingers but backs it all up with evidence, charts, and historical comparisons. 
  What listeners will appreciate most, though, is Gruner’s balance. He’s clearly frustrated with misinformation and poor leadership, but he doesn’t come across as bitter or one-sided. The chapter “Lockdowns” captures this tone perfectly. He acknowledges the economic devastation and emotional toll, especially on children and small business owners, while also recognizing that something had to be done to slow the rising death counts. If you’re curious about what really happened, how we got here, and how it could have been different—COVID WARS will be worth your time. 
  COVID WARS is not just a book about the pandemic. It’s a mirror, and what it reflects is both sobering and necessary.

  Wars of Scottish Independence -...

  Knowing everything we do about siege warfare and the medieval way of conquering and being conquered, this book sheds more light on the series of wars that formed the initiative to become independent as a Scottish nation. There is much confusion about the Scottish wars of independence, and in this book, we will clarify some of that. 
  In the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the Wars of Scottish Independence were a series of army fights performed between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. This is a significant event in Scottish history. 
  The English intrusion of Scotland in the year 1296 launched the First War. The Second War (1332-- 1357) started in the year 1332 and ended in the year 1357 with the finalizing of the Treaty of Berwick. Scotland was in the middle of a major dilemma at the time, and the disputes turned into one of the most essential periods in its history. Scotland's status as an independent state was maintained after the end of both wars. Other reasons for the disputes' significance include the introduction of the longbow as an important weapon in middle ages warfare. 
  Let’s take a look at what else happened and what we can learn from the background of those wars.
