  Teleology - Purpose in Nature:...

  Teleology is the study of purpose, design, and goal-directedness in nature. It is a concept that has shaped philosophical, scientific, and theological discourse for centuries, offering explanations for why things exist and function the way they do. The term itself comes from the Greek word telos, meaning "end" or "goal," and logos, meaning "study" or "reason." At its core, teleology seeks to explain natural phenomena by considering their intended purpose or final cause rather than merely their material composition or mechanical processes. This perspective has been a fundamental part of human thought, influencing fields as diverse as biology, ethics, cosmology, and psychology. 
  The significance of teleology lies in its ability to provide a framework for understanding the apparent order and directionality in the world. From the intricate adaptations of biological organisms to the finely tuned laws of the universe, teleological reasoning has historically been used to argue for the presence of intentionality or inherent purpose in natural systems. Philosophers such as Aristotle, who introduced the concept of final causes, and later thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, who integrated teleology into theological arguments, viewed the natural world as inherently purposeful. Even in modern times, teleological thinking persists in various scientific discussions, particularly in debates surrounding evolution, complexity, and emergent phenomena.

  An international history of the uncanny in the 1920s and 1930s. 
   
   
   
  The interwar period was a golden age for the occult. Spiritualists, clairvoyants, fakirs, Theosophists, mind readers, and Jinn summoners all set out to assure the masses that just as newly discovered invisible forces of electricity and magnetism determined the world of science, unseen powers commanded an unknown realm of human potential. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on untapped sources in Arabic in addition to European ones, Raphael Cormack follows two of the most unusual and charismatic figures of this age: Tahra Bey, who took 1920s Paris by storm in the role of a missionary from the mystical East; and Dr. Dahesh, who transformed Western science to create a panreligious faith of his own in Lebanon. Traveling between Paris, New York, and Beirut while guiding esoteric apprenticeships among miracle-working mystics in Egypt and Istanbul, these men reflected the desires and anxieties of a troubled age. As Cormack demonstrates, these forgotten holy men, who embodied the allure of the unexplained in a world of dramatic change, intuitively speak to our unsettling world today.

  Since the beginning of time, philosophers have tried to figure out what makes us happy. For the first time, modern technology has allowed biologists to map the inner chemicals that actually cause those feelings, and positive psychologists have used that information to construct the pillars of a meaningful life. Our inner reward systems were designed for a purpose, and understanding that design can allow you to take control of your anxiety and convert it into meaningful action. Through his personal successes in business and health, paired with the knowledge of a master’s degree in I-O Psychology from Harvard University’s Extension School, Mark Congdon has developed a seven-step system for joyful living called the I GOT This framework. In this book Mark will teach you how you can use those steps to develop your own growth mindset and pursue the purpose of your own Ideal Life.

  Egyptology: The History and...

  Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it’s no wonder that today’s world has so many Egyptologists. 
  Though he couldn’t have known it, the various scholars and scientists Napoleon brought to Egypt kicked off modern Egyptology, and a general fascination across the West. Until about 200 years ago the writing of the ancient Egyptians was an enigma to the world, but that changed when an ancient Egyptian monument known today as the Rosetta Stone was discovered (or rediscovered serendipitously) by French soldiers in Egypt in 1799. Now one of the most famous monuments in the world, the Rosetta Stone is a black granite stele that was inscribed with texts in Greek and two different scripts of the ancient Egyptian language: demotic and hieroglyphs. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone finally provided researchers with a way of reading the Egyptian language based on an understanding of the Greek translation. 
  As more individuals headed for Egypt and made more groundbreaking discoveries, the interest in Egypt heightened, as did knowledge about ancient history, despite the fact it happened so long ago and covered an immense span of time. Thanks to all these efforts, modern Egyptologists are able to learn an incredible amount about different periods through reading the surviving texts currently preserved in museums throughout the world.

  An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
  Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, lactation, sex with a strap on, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub-training in deep throating and re-conditioning using domination techniques with little space as a reward, and punishment by flogging and forced orgasms utilizing a sex dungeon. Mild degradation and a fast-moving relationship that explores when a limit is pushed too far. 
  The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
  Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy.
