  [How to Be Forgiving] delves into the intricate landscape of human emotion with unflinching honesty and profound insight, examining the peculiar way we hold onto hurts like rain-soaked clothes, heavy and familiar against our skin. Through intimate prose that reads like a confession shared between friends, this meditation on forgiveness illuminates the small, daily acts of letting go that shape our capacity for healing. The book's revolutionary perspective challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that forgiveness isn't a destination but rather a continuous practice, like breathing – something we need to do consciously at first, then naturally, until it becomes part of who we are. With its lyrical exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and the weight of unspoken words, this guide transforms our understanding of what it means to forgive, revealing how the journey toward release becomes an act of self-liberation rather than a gift bestowed upon others.

The great sage Veda Vyasa carefully recorded those pastimes in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. These tales transport the reader from the mundane on a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond time and space where everything and everyone lives in the blissful light of the eternal transcendental youth, Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of all knowledge. 
   
  The Vedas are an intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of transcendental knowledge.

A must-have audio experience for all practitioners of yoga, advanced teachers, spiritual seekers, devotees, as well as all school and library systems.

  In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms." 
  You'll discover: 
  Why the Cave Allegory is history's most elaborate way of calling everyone else stupid 
  How Plato convinced generations that imaginary triangles are more real than actual ones 
  Why "platonic relationship" means the exact opposite of what Plato intended 
  How one failed playwright created Western philosophy's most successful PR smear campaign 
  Why we're still arguing about the same questions 2,400 years later 
  Perfect for philosophy students suffering through required reading, professors with a sense of humor, or anyone who's ever wondered why we care what a privileged Athenian thought about reality. "Plato's Cave" proves that understanding philosophy doesn't have to be painful—though Plato himself might disagree.

  Warfare in Ancient Greece: The...

  Although the armies of the ancient Greek, or “Hellenic”, city-states (poleis, singular polis) included both cavalry (hippeis) and light infantry (psiloi, peltastes, gymnetes), their mainstay was undoubtedly the heavy infantry known today as hoplites. Armed to the teeth with their distinctive round shield (aspis or hoplon), high-crested helmet (corys) and long spear (dory), the hoplites were some of the most efficient soldiers of their time. They fought in the tight phalanx formation, and beyond the confines of their small poleis, Greek hoplites were also prized as mercenaries throughout the ancient world.  
  	Most historians believe that the hoplite became the dominant infantry soldier in nearly all the Greek city-states around the 8th century BCE. Hoplites were responsible for acquiring their own equipment, so not every hoplite might have been equally armed, but considering the style of warfare, they needed as much uniformity as possible. Like most infantry outside of Greece, the hoplites also carried spears, but while the Persian weapons were short and light for example, the Greek spears were thick shafts anywhere between seven and nine feet long. These spears were topped by a 9-inch spearhead, with a “lizard-sticker” buttspike at the bottom which could be used as a secondary spearhead if the main weapon was snapped off, or to plant the spear upright when at rest. Each hoplite also carried a shortsword, designed specifically for thrusting in the close confines of a melee (the Spartan weapon, the xiphos, was so short as to be virtually a dagger, its blade barely over a foot long).  
  It was only with the advent of the more mobile Roman legion, and the defeat of phalanxes in battles like Cynoscephalae (197 BCE) and Pydna (168 BCE), that the hoplite phalanx was finally outclassed
