  If we had no belief what would happen to us? - 23 July 1949 
  • Without self-knowledge we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the 
  mind. 
  • It’s only in relationship that one can know oneself as one is. 
  • A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an un 
  creative, repetitive mind. 
  • Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? 
  • A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is 
  creative. 
  • Q: Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the 
  unknown, reality, or God?

  Comic Book Women - Characters...

  The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men. Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers' studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed. 
   
   
   
  Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters into the canon of comics history.

  Deceptive Practices - Actions...

  Deception has been a fundamental part of human interaction throughout history, shaping societies, relationships, and institutions. Whether through subtle manipulation, outright lies, or carefully crafted misinformation, deception influences decisions, perceptions, and behaviors in both personal and collective spheres. While often viewed negatively, deception is not always malicious; in some cases, it serves strategic, protective, or even necessary functions. Understanding the role deception plays in society requires examining its various forms, motivations, and consequences. 
  One of the most common areas where deception is prevalent is in personal relationships. People deceive for different reasons, ranging from self-preservation to maintaining social harmony. White lies, for example, are often used to spare feelings or avoid unnecessary conflict, while more harmful deceptions, such as infidelity or emotional manipulation, can cause deep and lasting damage. The complexity of deception in relationships highlights its dual nature—sometimes beneficial, sometimes destructive. 
  Beyond personal interactions, deception extends into professional and institutional environments. In workplaces, deceptive practices can manifest as misleading job descriptions, false performance evaluations, or office politics designed to manipulate outcomes. Deception in business, such as false advertising or hidden fees, can mislead consumers, erode trust, and cause financial harm. Similarly, political deception—through propaganda, misinformation, and strategic framing of facts—shapes public opinion, influencing elections, policies, and societal norms.
