Government Is Unnatural Anarchy...

Cory Edmund Endrulat

Chapter 1: The Natural: You will learn about what it means for something to be considered natural.

Chapter 3: Anarchy: You will learn what constitutes the real definition of "anarchy" many people do not learn about, and why it may be considered "natural." We come to understand that our reality is not the way it actually is supposed to be.
Chapter 4: Moral Suasion: You will learn about what it means to share this knowledge, how to put it into action and why it will benefit society immensely. It becomes apparent that morality and nature are core to our human existence moving forward.
Back of book: It's dangerous to question mankind when nature is disregarded. This is an honest evaluation for an honest world. People claim that they care about nature then proceed to claim that we cannot live without government. They then claim that we can't live with anarchy. Yet, there are lies so strong and evident that proves government to be unnatural, and therefore unfit to exist. Also, truths so strong and evident that proves anarchy to be natural, the way of life that must be understood and embraced. Many lives are in the hands of the few who create evil; but you are of the many, and with this knowledge you allow the many to be empowered to disregard the few. Nature will never be disregarded again, evil will never gain power again. It starts with your nature, if you are willing to use it in reading this book. You can liberate the world for all of time, for true freedom, health and happiness. Nature is all of time and we must learn to use our time wisely, if we care.

21st-Century Virtues - How They...

Lucinda Holdforth

Authenticity. Vulnerability. Humility. Transparency. These are some of the 21st-century virtues proselytised by mindset gurus, paraded (if not practised) by big corporations, and lauded by professionals on LinkedIn. The quest for authenticity, for example, is central to progressive campaigns for greater diversity and inclusion, while our political and business leaders are highest praised if they appear to be humble. But are Australia’s newest virtues fit for purpose?In this provocative book, Lucinda Holdforth questions the new orthodoxy. She suggests that these virtues are not only unhelpfully subjective and self-referential but also, in the absence of broader civic values, fail to serve our democracy. This matters when experience around the world, especially in the United States, shows us that no democracy is guaranteed.Holdforth reminds us that arguments for transparency and authenticity are routinely used by totalitarian regimes to justify ultra-nationalism, artistic censorship and population surveillance. Vulnerability may be a facet of the human condition but that is surely no reason to make it an aspiration. Well-meaning people may talk about the power of ‘my’ truth, but if pushed too far this risks a dissolution of agreed facts and shared reality, breaking down the decision-making processes essential to effective democracy.If we agree that Australia needs confident, rational, optimistic and outward-looking citizens to shape our future, then Holdforth challenges us to reconsider the contemporary virtues shaping our society.

Bhagavad Gita - Sri Krishna's...

Swami B.G. Narasingha

This Audiobook edition of 'Bhagavad Gita - Sri Krsna's Illuminations on the Perfection of Yoga' with commentary by Swami B.G. Narasingha is not just another commentary on this profound text. The message of Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, but the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation and our necessity is also always changing. To meet the changing times and the present necessity, Swami B.G. Narasingha has presented a brief commentary, or Anuvrtti for our modern world. The clear translation of the original sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad-gita very approachable and easy to hear. Bhagavad-gītā is the oldest and most widely read book of theistic science in the world today. Also known as the Gītopaniṣad, the Bhagavad-gītā has been the principle handbook of yoga for more than 5,000 years. In contrast to many mundane literatures of the present day, the Bhagavad-gītā is free from mental speculation and is complete in knowledge of the eternal self (ātmā), the process of bhakti-yoga and the nature and identity of the Absolute Truth, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As such, the Bhagavad-gītā is the single most important book in the world, surpassing all others in wisdom and enlightenment.
