  The Swedish Famine of 1867-1869...

  In the years leading up to the Swedish Famine of 1867–1869, the Kingdom of Sweden stood at a crossroads between tradition and transformation. The mid-19th century was a period of great change, with emerging industrialization in urban areas clashing with the deep-rooted agrarian lifestyle that still defined the countryside. A vast majority of Swedes lived in rural regions, relying heavily on subsistence farming and small-scale agriculture. This dependence on crop yields, particularly barley, rye, and potatoes, made the rural population extremely vulnerable to climatic changes and poor harvests. 
  Despite some gradual modernization efforts, Sweden’s agricultural systems remained underdeveloped and highly sensitive to weather conditions. Farming techniques were largely traditional, and the infrastructure for food storage and distribution was limited. There was little to cushion communities in the event of failed crops. In a nation where most people lived off what they could grow or trade locally, a single bad season could spell hardship. Several parts of the country had endured minor food shortages in prior decades, but none on the scale that would soon descend upon the nation. 
  Adding to this vulnerability were the unusual weather patterns beginning to emerge in the mid-1860s. Winters grew colder and longer, and summers were often too short or too wet for successful harvesting. These anomalies were not yet fully understood at the time, and meteorological science was in its infancy. Farmers, used to working in rhythm with the natural seasons, found themselves unprepared for the climatic disruptions that lay ahead. The winter of 1867 would prove to be particularly devastating, marking the beginning of a three-year catastrophe.

From working underground as a shovel boy to his appointment as the CEO of the trailblazing African gold mining company, Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam Jonah's determination to surmount every obstacle in a career strewn with hurdles makes for compelling reading. 
  Frenzied deals, boardroom cliffhangers, political scandal and private battles punctuate this unique account of the challenges of conducting 'First World' business in the 'Third World'.

  Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I." 
   
   
   
  The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.

  Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard is a seminal work in the field of metaphysics and personal development, emphasizing the profound influence of emotions on the manifestation of desires. First published in 1944, this concise yet powerful book distills Goddard's teachings on the law of attraction and the creative power of the subconscious mind.Goddard's central thesis is that feelings are the key to unlocking the creative potential within each individual. He asserts that it is not enough to merely think about one's desires; one must also cultivate the corresponding feelings to bring these desires into reality. By aligning thoughts with emotions, individuals can effectively impress their desires upon the subconscious mind, which in turn shapes their external reality.The book is divided into four chapters:The Law and Its Operation:Goddard explains the fundamental principles of the law of attraction and the role of the subconscious mind in manifesting desires. He emphasizes that the conscious mind directs and the subconscious mind executes, making the feeling of the wish fulfilled essential for successful manifestation.Sleep:This chapter highlights the importance of the state of mind before sleep. Goddard advises using the moments before sleep to focus on positive emotions and desired outcomes, as this is when the subconscious mind is most receptive to suggestions.Prayer:Goddard redefines prayer as a feeling rather than a verbal request. He encourages readers to embody the feeling of their desires already being fulfilled during prayer, thereby creating a sense of certainty and inevitability.Spirit – Feeling:The final chapter delves deeper into the relationship between spirit and feeling. Goddard explores how emotions connect individuals to their spiritual essence and the universal creative power, reinforcing the idea that feeling is the secret to effective creation.Feeling Is The Secret is a timeless guide that empowers readers to harness their emotions and subconscious mind to create the life they desire. Its practical wisdom and clear instructions make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand and apply the principles of manifestation and the law of attraction.This book remains a cornerstone in the study of metaphysics and personal transformation, offering profound insights into the dynamic interplay between thoughts, feelings, and reality.
