Summary

"Veiled Prophets" explores the captivating world of prophecy, not just as a window into the future, but as a powerful force shaping societies and individual destinies throughout history. It delves into the roles of seers and oracles across cultures, from biblical prophecy to ancient Greek oracles, examining their methods and societal impact. The book uniquely highlights how prophecy often functions as a self-fulfilling prophecy, driven by belief, societal expectations and power dynamics, rather than pure precognition. 

 
The book traces prophetic traditions from ancient Mesopotamia to modern times, revealing connections between prophecy, the rise of organized religion, and political manipulation. It examines how cognitive biases influence our interpretation of ambiguous signs, turning them into perceived truths. 

 
"Veiled Prophets" progresses through defining key terms and historical examples, analyzing the mechanics of prophecy through symbolism and psychological manipulation, and culminating with a discussion on the legacy of prophecy in contemporary society. By drawing from ancient texts, archaeological findings, and psychological research, "Veiled Prophets" offers a holistic understanding of prophecy. This exploration moves beyond the question of supernatural accuracy, emphasizing prophecy's practical effects on human societies, and the enduring human fascination with the unknown.

    Karma Yoga, often understood as the yoga of selfless action, is one of the spiritual paths in Hindu philosophy that emphasizes action performed without any expectation of reward. Predominantly derived from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred scripture of Hinduism, Karma Yoga is more than just a philosophical concept; it is a practical guide to living that encourages practitioners to engage in their duties and actions with a spirit of detachment from the fruits of those actions. 
At its core, Karma Yoga is about purifying the heart and mind through selfless service. The practice teaches that all actions can be a form of worship if performed without selfish motives and in the spirit of contributing to the greater good. This approach to action seeks to transform an ordinary activity into a spiritual endeavor, thereby turning everyday life into a spiritual experience. 
The philosophy of Karma Yoga is deeply entwined with the Indian concept of dharma, or duty. According to the Bhagavad Gita, each individual has their own dharma, determined by their place in life, their duties, and their responsibilities. Performing these duties without attachment to outcomes, and as an offering to the divine, is the essence of Karma Yoga. This relinquishes the ego's hold on the self and aligns the practitioner with a higher purpose.

    Do you avoid asking Black clients certain questions because you're embarrassed about something you think you "should" know about "Black culture" or racism? Are you hesitant to have conversations about race or racism with Black clients because you're afraid you'll look ignorant or unintentionally offend them? Do you believe that if a Black client doesn't mention race-related issues as a presenting concern, then it's not worth bringing up at all? 
 
 
 
The reality is that although many Black clients will not zero in on the impact of racism in their lives, ignoring the issue of race in therapy leaves a very large elephant in the room. And you can't build rapport with elephants in the room. So what do you do? 
 
 
 
In No Racial Elephants in the Therapy Room, Dr. Rheeda Walker provides the answer to this question. With her no-nonsense and unapologetic style, she provides useful language, tips, and guidance that will allow you to: navigate the first session with Black clients who are wary about working with you; feel more comfortable talking about race, racism, and what it means to be Black; avoid common pitfalls and not to-dos when working with Black clients; and much more. Mental health care isn't designed with Black people in mind. If you truly want to meet African American clients where they are, you will have to confront the elephant in the room.

    A revised and updated edition of the definitive guide to overturning Citizens United. 
 
 
  
Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things—money and corporations—matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it. 
 
  
  
He includes a new chapter, "Do Something!," showing how—state by state and community by community—Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, sixteen states, one-hundred-sixty members of Congress, and five hundred cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win! 
 
 
  
"More relevant than ever, this updated edition of Corporations Are Not People chronicles the remarkably vibrant, nationwide grassroots movement to 'get money out and voters in.' " —Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher, The Nation
