On Being Eternal

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

What is eternity? Is it an endless stretch of time, a realm beyond time altogether, or something else entirely? This book invites you on a journey to explore the concept of eternity from a variety of perspectives, drawing on insights from philosophy, religion, science, and art.

Together, we will delve into the different ways in which eternity has been conceived throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to the present day. We will examine the nature of eternity itself, asking what it means for something to be eternal and how eternity differs from time.

We will then turn our attention to the implications of eternity for our understanding of the world and our place in it. What does it mean to live in a world that is eternal? How does eternity affect our understanding of life, death, and meaning? And what hope can eternity offer us in the face of the challenges and uncertainties of life?

This book is not just an intellectual exploration of eternity; it is also a personal invitation to reflect on the nature of your own existence and to consider the possibility of a life that transcends time. Whether you are a philosopher, a scientist, a theologian, an artist, or simply someone who is curious about the nature of reality, this book has something to offer you.

Join us on this journey into eternity, and discover the profound implications that eternity has for your life.

Control through Dependency -...

Cito Harder

Dependency is one of the most powerful tools of control, shaping the way individuals behave, think, and perceive their own agency. When someone is made to rely heavily on another person, organization, or system, their ability to make independent choices becomes severely restricted. This loss of autonomy often leads to a dynamic where the dependent individual feels trapped, unable to break free due to financial, emotional, or social limitations. Understanding how dependency is used as a control mechanism is essential for recognizing when it is being manipulated for someone else’s gain.
At its core, dependency-based control thrives on restricting access to critical resources. These resources can be financial, such as when a controlling partner withholds money or employment opportunities to keep the other person reliant on them. It can also be emotional, as seen in relationships where one person conditions love and approval on the other’s compliance. In extreme cases, entire organizations or governments create a structured form of reliance, making individuals believe that they cannot survive without their continued support.
A key component of dependency control is fostering a sense of learned helplessness. When people are repeatedly placed in situations where they feel incapable of acting on their own, they begin to believe that they are inherently powerless. Over time, this mindset erodes self-confidence and discourages any attempt to challenge the controlling force. Those who manipulate dependency often reinforce this belief by convincing individuals that the outside world is dangerous, that they are not competent enough to succeed alone, or that their well-being is entirely dependent on maintaining the current relationship or system.

Shadows of Salem - Witch Hunts...

Davis Truman

In 1692, a small Puritan community in Massachusetts became the stage for one of the darkest episodes in American history. The Salem Witch Trials, fueled by superstition, religious zeal, and the fear of the unknown, led to over 150 accusations, countless shattered lives, and the executions of innocent men and women. But beyond the gallows and confessions lies a deeper story, one of resistance, power, and the origins of collective fear in America. 
In Shadows of Salem, readers are taken inside the trials to witness how hysteria spread, how law was bent to justify injustice, and how individuals, like Giles Corey, chose silence and suffering over submission. Drawing on historical records, legal precedents, and cultural analysis, this book uncovers how Salem’s legacy shaped America’s enduring relationship with fear, authority, and social control. 
From the use of spectral evidence to the crushing weight of peine forte et dure, Shadows of Salem explores not just what happened in 1692, but why it continues to haunt the American imagination. It is a story of mass panic and manipulation, but also of defiance and resilience, an essential lens for understanding both the past and the patterns of fear that still echo in modern society. 
Perfect for readers of history, law, and cultural studies, Shadows of Salem offers a compelling examination of how hysteria becomes power, and how silence can be the most powerful act of resistance.
