Sinopse

Ritual Stone Uses explores the fascinating and widespread phenomenon of humans imbuing stones with ritual significance across various cultures and throughout history. It examines how ordinary geological objects transform into powerful symbols deeply embedded in social structures and belief systems. The book highlights the diverse ceremonial applications of stone, ranging from monumental constructions, like Stonehenge, to smaller, personally significant objects and explores the varying interpretations and symbolic meanings ascribed to stone, revealing cultural specificity within global patterns. This anthropological study argues that ritual stone use isn't a primitive practice, but a sophisticated expression of human creativity and worldview. By analyzing recurring patterns and unique variations in how societies use stone in rituals, the book demonstrates these practices play a critical role in reinforcing social cohesion and mediating between the human and supernatural realms.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to examining case studies from regions around the world. Drawing from archaeological findings, ethnographic accounts, and historical texts, the book provides a holistic understanding of ritual stone uses. It offers a fresh analytical approach, combining anthropological methods with techniques in spatial analysis and digital humanities. What sets this book apart is its comparative approach and emphasis on the dynamic interplay between material objects, human agency, and cultural context within religious studies.

    A prominent public intellectual tackles one of the most crucial political ideas of our moment. 
     
     
     
    Since Hamas's attack on Israel last October 7, the term "settler colonialism" has become central to public debate in the United States. A concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, settler colonialism is shaping the way many people think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. 
     
     
     
    This short book is the first to examine settler colonialism critically for a general audience. By critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Adam Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it is being applied to Israel. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are spiritual as much as political; how it works to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a source of new injustices today. A compact and accessible introduction, rich with historical detail, the book will speak to listeners interested in the Middle East, American history, and today's most urgent cultural-political debates.

    Ah This! - Talks on Zen

    If you are interested in knowing how to take an inner journey, how to find your soul - read on!
    In these talks, Osho introduces his audience to Zen, with its emphasis on being alert and attentive to the simplest acts of ordinary life as a way to experience meditation. Zen stories serve as starting points for several talks in the series, illuminating the nature of that rare human capacity to transcend the limits of the rational mind.
    As often happens with Osho, the talks oscillate between commentaries on selected texts, in this case some beautiful anecdotes from the world of Zen, and questions from disciples and other seekers. And, as always, Osho's interest is not scholarly at all but existential: how to point us toward the "Beyondness" from which he speaks.
    Although Zen tradition was certainly the one closest to his heart, Osho was independent of all traditions. In fact during the last year of his life, he talked exclusively about Zen, albeit a more relaxed, humorous form than the traditional rather rigid and disciplined monastic version.
    Osho always emphasized that the real important thing was not what he was saying but the gaps, the profound silence between the words, and that one should listen to him like to the wind playing with the leaves, or like listening to music.
    In this series you will come across a wide spectrum of views and questions related to the human search for higher dimensions of life. And it's certainly a beautiful finger pointing to the moon of truth beyond words and concepts. He takes us into a space from which the existential jump to meditation can happen. The moment when the eternal perfection opens up, the moment all you can say is, "Ah this!"

    Are you at a threshold where what used to feel good or what used to make sense doesn’t anymore?Do you desire a deeper, more embodied relationship with your sexuality?Kimberly Ann Johnson has rallied support for women transitioning to motherhood in The Fourth Trimester. Now she brings eroticism to the center of our power for every life stage. “Every woman I’ve worked with has told me that they know their sexuality holds treasures for them, keys to their soul path, but they just can’t seem to find those keys to reliably unlock the treasure chest,” writes Kimberly Ann Johnson, sexological bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing practitioner. Erotic Seasons helps women find the keys to that chest. Women experience so many crossroads at the different stages in our lives―these might include beginning a relationship, navigating fertility, becoming a mother or not, entering in perimenopause or menopause, leaving a marriage or opening a marriage. At these thresholds, our desires can become mysterious. Of course they do when our bodies and pleasure pathways change. Most of us don’t have the language or experience to communicate about these changes, so we are left feeling confused, shut down, or broken. But we can have courage together to learn and voice our true desires. Erotic Seasons guides women toward a revolutionary reckoning with sexuality. Grounded in understanding the female body in our monthly, seasonal, and lifetime rhythms, the book guides readers to locate themselves in their own anatomy and nervous system patterns. Kimberly reframes the archetypes of the female lifespan―maiden, mother, virgin, crone―for women today and shares powerful stories of women across generations, helping readers orient to the realities and mysteries of each life stage. With this knowledge, women can experience eroticism that lights up their whole life and unlocks possibilities for us all.“Kimberly Ann Johnson writes like a wise woman sitting across from you at the fire—honest, grounded, and full of hard-won, studied and trustable wisdom.”—Alexandra Roxo, author of F*ck Like a Goddess and Dare to Feel
