Beschreibung

Mythical Trees explores the profound role of trees in global cultures, revealing how these silent giants have shaped human beliefs and practices. From serving as cosmic symbols of interconnectedness, like the World Tree in Norse mythology, to embodying spiritual significance as sacred entities, trees occupy a central place in folklore and religious traditions.

 
The book uncovers intriguing facts, such as the Bodhi tree's association with Buddha's enlightenment and the Oak's importance in Druidic rituals. This exploration delves into the cultural history surrounding trees, examining their symbolic use as emblems of power, resistance, and remembrance.

 
By drawing on historical accounts, archaeological findings, and botanical research, the book showcases the universal human need to find meaning in nature. Organized into sections focusing on cosmic trees, sacred groves, and trees in history, it employs a multidisciplinary approach, connecting environmental studies, art history, and psychology.

 
Ultimately, Mythical Trees argues that the enduring presence of trees in myth reflects our recognition of their vital ecological role and symbolic power. The book progresses by first introducing the concept of mythical trees, then exploring their cosmic, religious, and historical significance, concluding with a synthesis of how these stories shape our relationship with the environment.

    Worshipped by many cultures, one of the main deities of the great Aztec Empire, the “Lord of the Smoking Mirror,” is also one of the most interesting and elusive Mesoamerican deities. Known as the master of the destinies of the world, giver and despoiler, patron of kings and slaves, sower of discords and revealer of sins, Lord of night and darkness, first Sun of the creation, he is as fascinating as he is complex. Tezcatlipoca was as feared as he was revered, for the god was all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, yet also fickle, capricious, and with a wicked sense of humor to boot. 
    	The study of Tezcatlipoca must necessarily be framed in the Mesoamerican historical-cultural context, which is an undertaking entailing a fair amount of difficulties. Due to the complexity of each culture’s mythology, the many different gods, languages, and people involved, their study and the attempts made thus far to understand and explain it all have not resulted in a clear, unified discourse, but in a multiplicity of interpretations. This can make getting a clear and consistent picture from the available literature a little daunting. 
    	From differences in the spelling of names to differences in the gods that are attributed to each pantheon and their roles in the myths and their unique features, the reader venturing into the mythology and history of Mesoamerica - and of Tezcatlipoca in particular - should be aware that, while there are certainly incontrovertible facts and data on which there is a general consensus. In addition, the information offered in one source may very well differ from that found in another, as each author makes their own interpretations and draws their own conclusions from the evidence studied.

    This audiobook helps to be more productive in a world of distraction.WHAT YOU GET:A powerful resource to get stuff done, become more creative, and live a meaningful life.Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. This audiobook provides tools how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day. The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways. This unique audiobook helps you access each of the two mental modes so you can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately every day.Use the power of sound and improve your focus like never before. Several scientific studies have shown that certain sounds can put our brains into a highly relaxed and creative state using audio resonance. Here is a simple example: When you strike a tuning fork and then place another one next to it, the second tuning fork automatically begins to vibrate at exactly the same frequency. That's exactly what happens with BRAIN ENTRAINMENT, based on the principle of audio resonance. We stimulate our brainwaves with a low fundamental frequency - for better results when creating, focusing, studying and learning.Ready to move yourself in the right direction? Listen to the frequency based binaural soundscapes right now, and benefit from this system of creating your focus - and finding success. HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BEST RESULTS!
