In the Black - Changing the Dominant Narrative in the Commercial Real Estate Industry

T. Dallas Smith

Sinopsis

With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.

The Future of Ahriman and the...

Peter Selg

In 1919 Rudolf Steiner spoke about the future physical incarnation of the being of Ahriman. This would take place before 'a part' of the third millennium had passed, and was inevitable – but it was also necessary that people were aware of this event and recognized it, for earthly culture would be destroyed if the world were to fall completely to Ahriman.
The situation we find ourselves in today shows Ahriman's unmistakable signature: the rapid destruction of nature, zoonotic diseases and pandemics, huge social inequalities, and the overall dominance of high finance. In this short book Peter Selg presents a timely overview of the challenges we face, beginning with a pithy and concise survey of Steiner's commentary on Ahriman's incarnation and the conditions that would characterize it. This is followed by a study of Ahriman's depiction in the mystery drama The Souls' Awakening. Steiner's remarkable personification of Ahriman on stage – portraying his strategies and activities – provides vital instruction for humanity.
Selg concludes with an evaluation of 'the Battle for Human Intelligence' taking place in contemporary culture through materialistic ideas such as transhumanism. In their recent book Covid-19: The Great Reset, for example, Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret propose wholesale economic, geopolitical, environmental and technological revisions to society – ideas that need to be understood and confronted in human thought and consciousness. The Future of Ahriman is a crucial aid to comprehending our times.

Bhakti Yoga - The Art of Devotion

Clarice Bendleton

Bhakti Yoga, often referred to as the path of devotion, is one of the most revered and practiced forms of yoga in spiritual traditions across the world. Rooted in the ancient Vedic texts, it emphasizes the importance of love and devotion to the Divine, guiding individuals on a path of spiritual awakening through selfless worship and connection with God. Unlike other forms of yoga that may focus on physical discipline, meditation, or knowledge, Bhakti Yoga centers on cultivating an intimate, emotional relationship with the Divine through acts of love, service, and surrender.
At its core, Bhakti Yoga teaches that the ultimate goal of human existence is to realize one's inherent connection to the Divine and to express that connection through love and devotion. This path is unique because it is accessible to all, regardless of one's background, social status, or intellectual capacity. Bhakti Yoga does not require extensive rituals or esoteric practices; rather, it is about nurturing a loving and compassionate heart, one that longs to merge with the Divine in the highest form of unity.
The origins of Bhakti Yoga can be traced back to the Vedic period, but it gained widespread prominence during the Bhakti movement, particularly between the 7th and 17th centuries. Saints and poets from different regions of India, such as Mirabai, Kabir, and Tukaram, propagated the message of love and devotion to God, making Bhakti accessible to all walks of life. Their teachings emphasized the power of devotion over formal rituals and advocated a personal, direct connection with the Divine.
