  Discover who your really are. Transcending Anxiety, Fear, and Depression Without Techniques or Skills – A Self-Help Guide to Rediscover Life's Essence.Have you ever truly pondered the most fundamental questions of life? Who are you anyway? What is this place we call the Universe? What is reality?As midlife came about, drained and unfulfilled despite being fairly successful, I was almost done . From the outside, my life looked usual, positive, but inside - there was a whole different story.During my life journey, extraordinary encounters propelled me onto a path of deep exploration that concerns the nature of reality. It led me to the crossroads of spirituality, philosophy, science, psychology and even the veiled territory of the psychedelic realm, all in pursuit of understanding the very essence of myself.In a span of years, I delved into the depths of my mind, confronting its enigmatic corners, including the dark ones, in a search for clarity.I’m not a scientist or a mystic. You could say that I’m a philosopher that went outside the perimeters of the institution to test out his philosophy in real life, or in other words, I live by what I say. This is my experience, my self-evident interaction with the universe on a daily basis over a lifetime of almost 40 years.I’m here not to create another belief system but rather to make you question yours.This book could be interpreted as a self-help guide, a spiritual journey, or a philosophical discourse. However, I believe that within the words of "Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind," readers can discover themselves, or provoke deep questions. In this sense, this book represents a dialogue between you and me; I pose questions, and you respond within yourself. Through honest conversations, we can come to perceive reality as it truly is, and as a result, celebrate, accept, and love ourselves just as we are.

  Spinoza - Freedom's Messiah

  Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time 
   
   
    
  Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many as Satan's disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society. 
   
   
    
  In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family's faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a modern Jewish life. To Heine, Hess, Marx, Freud, and no doubt many others today, Spinoza exemplified how to be Jewish without believing in Judaism. His defense of universal freedom is as important for our own time as it was in his.

  European Empires - Understanding...

  This book consists of 4 books, which are the following: 
  1 - British Empire - The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
  2 - Carolingian Empire - The Carolingian Empire, which existed from 800 to 888, was a dominant force in western and central Europe during the early Middle Ages. Founded by the Carolingian dynasty, this empire emerged from the Frankish kingdom, which had been ruled by this lineage since 751 and included control over the Lombards in Italy starting in 774.  
  3 - Portuguese Empire - The Portuguese Empire comprised a vast network of colonies, factories, and overseas territories established by Portugal. Beginning with the capture of Ceuta in North Africa in 1415 and continuing until the handover of sovereignty over Macau to China in 1999, it stands as one of the longest-lasting empires in European history.  
  4 -  Spanish Empire - The marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile in the late 15th century laid the foundation for what would become the Spanish Empire. Their union created a personal alliance between the two powerful kingdoms, forming the basis for modern Spain. This confederation of the Crowns of Castile and Aragon brought together Iberia's economic and military strength under the House of Trastámara, although the two crowns remained legally distinct.

  Invitation to Sociology - A...

  Peter L. Berger

  • 0

  This lucid and lively book, punctuated with witty, incisive examples, is addressed both to the layman who wants to know what sociology is all about and to students and sociologists who are concerned about the larger implications and dimensions of their discipline. Professor Berger places sociology in the humanist tradition and recognizes it as a "peculiarly modern, peculiarly timely form of critical thought." Without underestimating the importance of scientific procedures in sociology, he points out its essential affinity with history and philosophy, and he shows how sociology in this sense can contribute to a fuller awareness of the human world. 
   
   
   
  "Unlike puppets," he notes, "we have the possibility of stopping in our movements, looking up and perceiving the machinery by which we have been moved. In this act lies the first step towards freedom." Professor Berger discusses this consciousness in detail, in relation to one's own biography, to the operations of social institutions, and to the makeup of an individual as a product of this institutions. In each instance, he outlines the major contributions to sociology of such classical sociologists as Weber, Pareto, and Drukheim in Europe; Veblen, Cooley, and Mead in the United States; and some of the most important names in the field today.
