Book excerpt: "Twenty-five years has elapsed since apartheid's end and South Africa is in a state of emergency. The Black majority are landless and without basic amenities. According to a World Bank report, inequality has increased since apartheid's end. The charismatic Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema says, "the time for reconciliation is over, now is the time for justice," and he has captivated the minds of South African youth. The EFF was the only top political party to increase its voter base in the 2019 South African general elections, and its core voters were young people, restless for change. The EFF is a protest movement, representative of an international trend among the youth, who are using social media to protest. The EFF's pillars have emerged from a clarion call among the youth for their liberation. Malema says the EFF is the "true inheritor of the ANC's radical agenda," as he vows to fight corruption in South Africa, striking fear in the hearts of the white monopoly capitalists and their conspirators. In addition, Malema's agitational rhetoric is investigated in the first rhetorical study on his discourse, and the results are fascinating. At its core, this struggle among the generations, is for the future direction of South Africa. So, the South African youth are singing struggle songs and toyi-toying, wearing red berets, attentively listening to their command team, holding up their election manifesto called a gun, and are equipped now for the legislative battles for economic freedom in their lifetime"--

It will appeal to anyone who wishes to live with greater intention and purpose and experience more joy and appreciation of the present moment. Buddhists and mindfulness practitioners, people who are aging, people who read the news and are worried, artists, people who are taking care of others who are dying, people who are dying (i.e., all of us ...), Tarot card readers and modern-day shamans will all find inspiration in these terse lists. Young people aghast at the adult world's seeming indifference to our mortality will especially relate to the uncompromising vision of this book.

Download or read book How To Remove Your Fear of Death Forever written by Marc Stewart and published by Marc Stewart. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook could remove your fear of death forever It could teach you-for the first time in your existence-how to live outrageously alive. Now Not tomorrow. But now! It is a book about life and death. How to be alive-now. And how never to die. It is, however, a completely subversive and dangerous eBook. It is difficult to read-shattering in its impact-full of strange consequences for you, your family, your job, and your “responsibilities”. Its author grew up in and was inspired by for example was inspired by the “Hippie” movement. Had he written this book five hundred years ago, he would have been burned at the stake. If, therefore, you are satisfied with your life as it is now . . . If you feel that you are alive enough now, that you gain enough satisfaction and meaning out of each day now . . . If you do not want to discuss or confront the question of death-then turn away from this page now. The rest of this letter will simply be confusing and destructive for you. Now, for those of you who remain, let us look at the universe through different eyes: This book says that Western Society has tricked you-INTO BELIEVING THAT YOU ARE A PRISIONER IN A BAG OF SKIN! This book assumes that you are a normal American man or woman. In other words, that you are a member of our modern Western society. As such, it says, you have been condemned at birth to spend your entire life in the shadow of impossible-and essentially ridiculous-definitions of yourself that say this: That you are nothing more than a walking bag of skin-filled with a mind, personality, and perhaps (though no one can prove it) a soul. Therefore, that you are born-live-struggle-suffer-build-love-and all the rest, only to die. To vanish. To disappear into the same nothingness you came from. That-if you no longer accept the old Western idea of a heaven and a hell-once you die, you are simply gone. That death is like being buried alive forever-no more friends, no more sunlight, or birdsong, no more love or laughter. Only darkness without end. All that all humans live and die in this terrible loneliness. Each of us is irrevocably cut off from the other-separated and alone-with even love as only a flicker of light in aeons of darkness. Cast adrift in a hostile universe-which itself will probably end in eternal darkness. This, then, is the modern Western view. And, again, this eBook says it is ridiculous. Let us turn it upside down. Let us see how the universe looks through the other end of the telescope. This book gives you a new you. It takes away your bag of skin, and gives you both your conscious and unconscious in synchronistic equilibrium.

Download or read book The Conspiracy against the Human Race written by Thomas Ligotti and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction outing, an examination of the meaning (or meaninglessness) of life through an insightful, unsparing argument that proves the greatest horrors are not the products of our imagination but instead are found in reality. "There is a signature motif discernible in both works of philosophical pessimism and supernatural horror. It may be stated thus: Behind the scenes of life lurks something pernicious that makes a nightmare of our world." His fiction is known to be some of the most terrifying in the genre of supernatural horror, but Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction book may be even scarier. Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy. At once a guidebook to pessimistic thought and a relentless critique of humanity's employment of self-deception to cope with the pervasive suffering of their existence, The Conspiracy against the Human Race may just convince readers that there is more than a measure of truth in the despairing yet unexpectedly liberating negativity that is widely considered a hallmark of Ligotti's work.

Download or read book Smellosophy written by A. S. Barwich and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NRC Handelsblad Book of the Year “Offers rich discussions of olfactory perception, the conscious and subconscious impacts of smell on behavior and emotion.” —Science Decades of cognition research have shown that external stimuli “spark” neural patterns in particular regions of the brain. We think of the brain as a space we can map: here it responds to faces, there it perceives a sensation. But the sense of smell—only recently attracting broader attention in neuroscience—doesn’t work this way. So what does the nose tell the brain, and how does the brain understand it? A. S. Barwich turned to experts in neuroscience, psychology, chemistry, and perfumery in an effort to understand the mechanics and meaning of odors. She discovered that scents are often fickle, and do not line up with well-defined neural regions. Upending existing theories of perception, Smellosophy offers a new model for understanding how the brain senses and processes odors. “A beguiling analysis of olfactory experience that is fast becoming a core reference work in the field.” —Irish Times “Lively, authoritative...Aims to rehabilitate smell’s neglected and marginalized status.” —Wall Street Journal “This is a special book...It teaches readers a lot about olfaction. It teaches us even more about what philosophy can be.” —Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book The Spiritual Brain written by Mario Beauregard and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do religious experiences come from God, or are they merely the random firing of neurons in the brain? Drawing on his own research with Carmelite nuns, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard shows that genuine, life-changing spiritual events can be documented. He offers compelling evidence that religious experiences have a nonmaterial origin, making a convincing case for what many in scientific fields are loath to consider—that it is God who creates our spiritual experiences, not the brain. Beauregard and O'Leary explore recent attempts to locate a "God gene" in some of us and claims that our brains are "hardwired" for religion—even the strange case of one neuroscientist who allegedly invented an electromagnetic "God helmet" that could produce a mystical experience in anyone who wore it. The authors argue that these attempts are misguided and narrow-minded, because they reduce spiritual experiences to material phenomena. Many scientists ignore hard evidence that challenges their materialistic prejudice, clinging to the limited view that our experiences are explainable only by material causes, in the obstinate conviction that the physical world is the only reality. But scientific materialism is at a loss to explain irrefutable accounts of mind over matter, of intuition, willpower, and leaps of faith, of the "placebo effect" in medicine, of near-death experiences on the operating table, and of psychic premonitions of a loved one in crisis, to say nothing of the occasional sense of oneness with nature and mystical experiences in meditation or prayer. Traditional science explains away these and other occurrences as delusions or misunderstandings, but by exploring the latest neurological research on phenomena such as these, The Spiritual Brain gets to their real source.
