Theses of Hermeticism (and many of these are quite insightful to a classical metaphysic) To be honest, I am not sure what he was getting at. The hermeticist does not want to escape the body because it is bad, but to temporarily separate to reestablish a dominating and causal solar principle.Īll well and good. “The Tomb,” infamous in Plato, notes the body By itself and apart from the animating spirit, it is dead matter, the flux of chaos. For example, “chaos” simply means the realm of undifferentiated potentiality–prime matter. They reveal a robust metaphysics which has strong affinities with Christianity and Torah/Prophets. These discussions are often exhilarating and always exciting. In the first half of the book he decodes numerous symbols. Using alchemical language, he offers a manual for purifying the soul. It was about developing the soul (or ascending to higher realms). Julius Evola correctly notes that the ancient teaching of alchemy wasn’t simply about transmuting metals. Short of it: the first half was quite good, but the second half was either incoherent or just plain wrong. 7/5/2023 0 Comments Tim marshall books in orderTo understand world events, news organizations and other authorities often focus on people, ideas, and political movements, but without geography, we never have the full picture. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and concrete. All leaders of nations are constrained by geography. In the bestselling tradition of Why Nations Fail and The Revenge of Geography, an award-winning journalist uses ten maps of crucial regions to explain the geo-political strategies of the world powers.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics written by Tim Marshall which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics by Tim Marshall The book's main event, however, is the legendary "Whistle-Stop Campaign" of 1948, when Truman puffed off the political upset of the century. With the stage thus set, the narrative picks up whirlwind force, following Truman from his assumption of the Presidency upon FDR's death-when "the sun, the moon, and the stars" seemed ready to fall on him-through the decisions to drop the atomic bomb confront Stalin at Potsdam send troops to Korea (the most important decision of his Presidency, Truman felt) and fire MacArthur. Like the young Teddy Roosevelt in the author's Mornings on Horseback (1981), the pre-Presidential Truman most impresses McCullough as a battler against overwhelming odds: the failed farmer and haberdasher the WW I captain who kept his unit together under deadly fire and the scorned product of the Kansas City machine who won Senate colleagues' respect by chairing an investigation into WW II defense spending and winning a ferocious primary contest. As depicted by McCullough (Brave Companions, 1991, etc.), Truman, though the first President of the nuclear era, was fundamentally a throwback to 19th-century midwestern ideals of honesty. A gargantuan but surprisingly agile and spellbinding biography of the plain-speaking, plain-dealing Man from Missouri. 7/5/2023 0 Comments Piper orange the new blackMaritza’s story was light, Healy’s flashback was tragic but not particularly surprising, Soso’s seemed under-motivated, and while Maria Ruiz’s story did important expositional work, it was not individually memorable. But when an episode’s main story is an all-too-plausible slide into mental illness and homelessness, and our one-time protagonist gets a swastika branded onto her arm, OITNB is about as funny as a trip to SHU.Īlthough season four has told intriguing stories in its first half - especially when it considers the prison’s overcrowding and Caputo’s struggle with MCC corporate culture - it has distinctly lacked any striking, illuminating flashbacks. Orange Is the New Black has reached yet another moment that forces you to stop and think, “Wait, why was this show considered a comedy?” Sure, it’s funny that Angie’s badass weight-lifting cry is “The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe!” The Judy King plot is still primarily played for goofs.
