Benito Mussolini the Man PDF book by Vahdah Jeanne Bordeux

Benito Mussolini , the man

Benito Mussolini

The story of Benito Mussolini’s life is told with clarity, directness, and charm. Here are facts, but no tiresome details: nothing of importance has been omitted, nothing that does not bear on the character or work of the man has been included. The whole story, a biography, if you will, runs smoothly and connectedly. Best of all, there are no historical discrepancies.
The great work that the Duce has done for Italy is described with accuracy, and I, who know the man as well as it is perhaps possible to know him, find that with delicate intuition, Madame Bordeaux has at all times divined the light and shade of his character.

She has shown him in his lovableness, in his moments of anger; the man of lofty ambition, the man of many sorrows; yet always one feels the great heart of the man, the indefinable something that is Benito Mussolini.

He may be a revolutionary, a bungler, journalist, and any other ignoble thing that the anti-Fascists, backed up by certain men who are no longer considered worthy to be Italian citizens, wish to call him; but the fact remains incontestable that he saved Italy from unending disaster, that when the crucial moment came in 1922 he went forth from the tranquillity of his editor’s office to face the mobs, and possibly death, with the same fearlessness that he had done innumerable times before. he was who led the “ Black Shirts” to Rome to swear allegiance to Italy

How to deal with human nature in business - PDF by Sherwin Cody

How to deal with human nature in business

a practical book on doing business by correspondence, advertising and salesmanship

From introduction:

The words science and scientists have been used so much as advertising catchwords, in loose and illegitimate senses, that it is well for us to begin by considering just what is the true scientific method, and how far the knowledge of any subject is or may become a science.

The scientific method follows these well-defined steps:

1. Hypothesis. The scientist makes the best guess that he can. He is a real student, an artist in the study, a professional studier, and he sees something that looks like a great discovery. A hypothesis is a name for a serious guess by a brilliant mind.

2. Experiment and test. The very essence of modern science is trying out that which seems like a great discovery. What seems is often false. We are deceived in our very best impressions. We have not looked at the thing closely enough, we are deceived as to its relative importance, its proportions, because we are too near to it or too far from it, or there is some practical defect in its working which we overlooked at first.

The wiser a man is, the more likely he is to know that there are many times when he can not avoid an error. Science is what we know, and the only way to know anything is to test it, to try it here and try it there. When its appearance remains the same after we have looked at it from many different sides, only then do we begin to know that it is as it looks.

3. Theory. When our hypothesis has been tested until we find it a very useful assumption, something that helps us explain many other things, but about which xii we know there is the possibility that we may be making a mistake, we say that we have a working theory. 4. Law. When a theory has been tested on every possible side on which there can be any doubt, and the man with a scientific mind knows absolutely that there is not a single chance left that he can be wrong, the principle which at first was a guess, a hypothesis, and then by experiment and test became a theory, at last, on the finishing of every possible experiment, becomes a law. Usually, a good many different minds must unite in the experiments which finally confirm what we accept as a scientific law.

Only that is a science that is known so thoroughly that careful thinkers in many different parts of the world agree on its working theories and demonstrated laws. No one man, even the wisest man in the world, could make a science. Anyone man who talks about "scientific" a subject simply does not realize the dignity and thoroughness of knowledge that go to make up our real sciences such as chemistry, physics, astronomy, and (on the side of dealing with human nature) the science of psychology, and the science of sociology (the youngest of the sciences, what might be called a baby science). Philosophy can not be a science, because it deals with things we know we can not really know. Much less can religion be a science, because it deals very largely with things beyond the range of human knowledge? Moreover, scientific names, scientific terminology, are not essential parts of science.

In order to know exactly what you are talking about, it is desirable to have fixed and accurate names. For example, in botany, it was found that common names of plants were used differently by different people.

One name would be used by some people for six or seven different kinds of plants. Also, different languages such as English, French, or German had entirely different common names. For an Englishman really to know what kind of flower or plant a German was talking about, it was desirable to have a name which would be the same in Germany and in England. So Latin names were agreed on, and the different kinds of plants examined scientifically were given names that were accepted in all parts of the world.

The names, however, are only a convenience, and unless convenience actually requires special names, and those names can be accepted and used by many different authorities on that science, a terminology in- vented by someone is worse than a nuisance. Under the general subject of Dealing with Human Nature we have two young but distinct sciences, psychology, the science of the way the mind acts on the impressions it gets through the five senses, and sociology, the science of social relationships, or the organization of society. Salesmanship and advertising have just as much chance of sometimes becoming sciences as sociology.

The reason they are not now sciences is that no considerable number of persons who have studied them as subjects agree on their fundamental principles. They are a collection of hypotheses, with a few working theories, but no laws.

Human nature is a very complicated thing, so wholly dependent on changing conditions that it is exceedingly difficult to arrive at anything that will seem equally true to all people at all times. Sociology has the advantage of the records of all history.

The practice of salesmanship and advertising is so recent that we do not really have much data. There is, however, an art of salesmanship, and an art of advertising.

Stoicism for Skeptics: A Secular Path to Resilience - PDF book

Stoicism for Skeptics: A Secular Path to Resilience

Stoicism for Skeptics

Author: Adel Elsherif

Stoicism for Skeptics – Overview

Adel Elsherif’s Stoicism for Skeptics: A Reflective Guide to Reason and Resilience is a modern, secular reimagining of Stoic philosophy. Written for skeptics, agnostics, and atheists, the book strips away metaphysical speculation and divine reward, presenting Stoicism as a practical philosophy grounded in reason, science, and ethical self-mastery.
Core Themes
- Stoicism Without Gods – Virtue, resilience, and clarity are achievable without faith or metaphysics.
- Reframing Ancient Concepts – Logos becomes natural law and human reason; Providence becomes scientific determinism; “living according to nature” becomes living according to reason and human nature.
- Science and Critical Thinking – Stoic “physics” is translated into a modern scientific worldview, encouraging evidence-based ethics and epistemic humility.
- The Dichotomy of Control – A timeless Stoic tool reinterpreted through modern psychology and scientific reasoning.
- Engagement vs. Withdrawal – Contrasting Stoicism with Epicureanism, Elsherif shows Stoicism’s strength in active participation in life and society.
- Time and Mortality – Drawing on Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, the book emphasizes the present moment as the only realm of action and meaning.

Why It Matters Today

In a world where science explains the cosmos but leaves a “purpose-shaped hole,” Stoicism offers a rational framework for resilience, ethical living, and inner peace. Elsherif positions Stoicism as a living philosophy for the 21st century—accessible, adaptable, and deeply practical.

Takeaway

Stoicism for Skeptics is not about belief, but about practice. It invites readers to cultivate integrity, clarity, and courage in the face of life’s uncertainties, making Stoicism a philosophy of resilience for modern skeptics.

Theme: Philosophy / Logic / Applied Ethics

Overview

Stoicism for Skeptics is a modern intellectual manifesto for those who seek the psychological strength of Stoicism without the metaphysical or religious baggage. Written by Adel Elsherif, this work bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and the 21st-century scientific worldview.

Why Read This Book?

Secular Wisdom: Learn how to apply the "Dichotomy of Control" through a purely rational lens—focusing on evidence-based reasoning rather than superstition.
Scientific Integration: Explore how the Stoic concepts of Logos and Nature align perfectly with modern natural laws and human reason.
Practical Resilience: Discover tools for mindfulness and presence, drawing on the works of Seneca and Marcus Aurelius to master the "only realm of action"—the present moment.
Comparative Logic: A unique look at how Stoicism diverged from Epicureanism, providing a roadmap for engaging with society through virtue and integrity.

"Virtue is not about divine approval; it is about integrity, clarity, and purposeful living in a chaotic world."

Thoreau's thoughts. Selections.. ( 1890) PDF book

Thoreau's thoughts. Selections

In selecting the following passages from Thoreau's printed works, for the use of those who are already interested in him, and to win, if possible, new admirers of what has given me so pure and unfailing a satisfaction for now more than forty years, I desired to make a pocket volume, containing beautiful and helpful thoughts, which one might not only read in retirement, but use as a traveling companion, while waiting at a hotel, railway station, or elsewhere, — something even more convenient and ready at hand than the newspaper.

I would furnish an antidote to the dissipating, depressing influence of too much newspaper reading, something which instead of filling the mind with gossip, political strife, and misstatement, athletics, pugilism, accounts of shocking accidents, and every kind of criminality, may refresh us with a new sense of the beauty of the world, and make us feel how truly life is worth living.

The book is illustrating the philosophy of Thoreau by giving long quotes from his book with the sources.

Animal food It is hard to provide and cook

offends the imagination.

So Simple and clean a diet as will not offend the imagination ; but this, I think, is to be fed when we feed the body ; they should both sit down at the same table.

It may be vain to ask why the imagination will not be reconciled to flesh and fat. I am satisfied that it is not. Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.

The Catholic ready answer - PDF by Michael Peter Hill

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:20:00 +0000

The Catholic's ready answer

a popular vindication of Christian beliefs and practices against the attacks of modern criticism

From introduction:

It is not many years since Father P. X, Brors, of the German Province of the Society of Jesus, sent forth to the world a small volume entitled “Modemes ABC’’ (Modem ABC), of which the scope and to a great extent the contents were identical with those of the work which we now present to the English-speaking public.

Written in German and intended to meet the controversial needs of the Author’s own countrymen, the little book soon justified its appearance in the field of polemics — at least if we may so judge by its great popularity. German Catholics of average education found in the ^'Modemes A B C” an arsenal from which they could draw defensive weapons which were not less effective than easily handled.

The number and the variety of the subjects treated and the ability with which they were discuss^ enabled the reader to give apt replies to all manner of objections brought against revealed religion and the teachings of the Church. Recognizing the merit of the work, we very readily ac- ceded to a request of the Messrs. Benziger Brothers to reproduce it in its vernacular.

The mere translation was accomplished in a comparatively short space of time; and if we could have been satisfied with a bare rendering of the original into English The Catholic's Ready Answer would have seen the light of day long before the present date; but as we proceeded with ^e translation we became more and more convinced that the new version, to meet the requirements of polemics in English-speaking countries, must diverge in some respects from the original.

The need for such adaptation, of not a few omissions, and of a considerable number of additions seemed imperative. There was one peculiarity of the work which was quite distinctive of it and to which it doubtless owed much of its success, but which, nevertheless, we thought might be a drawback in regard to one class of readers whom we were anxious to reach. In the treatment of important subjects such as the Eucharist,

Miracles, and Socialism the subject- matter was in each case broken up, distributed under a number of distinct captions, and despatched in short articles, which were crisp and to the point and served to equip the reader with ready answers, especially useful in an emergency. Very much of this character we have indeed sought to preserve in the work we have now sent to the press; but in order to meet the wants of sincere inquirers after the truth, who are very numerous in English-speak- ing countries, and who would probably prefer a more full, thorough, and continuous discussion of the more important subjects, we have thought it advisable in some cases to unite of the original in articles of exceptional length. In the place of the subordinate topics thus left untreated separately, cross-references, aided by the in- dex at the end of the volume, will point them out to the reader in the logical position they occupy in the longer articles.

This method we have adopted the more readily as we have desired to make the work serve the purpose of a treatise, brief but fairly complete, on the evidence of religion. Finally, notwithstanding the general comprehensiveness of the original, it left untouched a certain number of subjects, e.g., Christian Science, Pragmatism, theosophy, which of late years have arrested the attention of the Christian apologist. Articles on these subjects we have thought it our duty to supply. In the pursuit of these aims, we have not been unaware that our book has been gradually assuming the character of a new work instead of being simply an English version of the old one. If this has be^, in some sense, inevitable, and if it compasses the object we have had in view, our act of contrition for having tampered with the able work of a skilled controversialist will perhaps be somewhat qualified.

Both in the original and in the English adaptation the work, though chiefly polemical in its scope, does not strictly confine itself to controversy, but endeavours to inculcate right notions of individual duty, especially as bearing on situations in which conscientious persons often find themselves in the very complex life of the present age.

This is particularly the case in the articles on Mixed Marriag^, Divorces, Labor Unions, and Education, which we trust will be helpful to those whose principles are in danger of being warped under the influence of their environment. "whilst thanking the Author of the ^'Modemes ABC’' for his permission both to translate and to adapt the work, let us express the hope that in the not distant future he may be gratified to know that the seeds of truth which he has sown broadcast in his native land have, by propagation, borne fruit beyond the sea.

Some contents :

Agnosticism

An agnostic query - "Why trouble ourselves about matters such as god's existence, of which, however important they may be, we do know nothing?" (Huxley) 7

Anglicans

See "Religion, a change of," and "The church of christ - how to find it."

Apes and men

The ape theory - man bears so striking a resemblance to the ape that we are forced to conclude that he is descended from the ape 13

Bible heroes

Objection - the heroes of the old testament are represented as being special favourites of the almighty. On the other hand, they seem to have had many vices. What, then, are we to think of the bible as a teacher of morality or as a divinely inspired book? 16

Bible interpretations

Protestant position - the bible teaches all necessary truth to all who approach the study of it in the right spirit. In the scriptures, god speaks to the human soul, and no interpreter of his word is needed but the soul itself, enlightened by the holy spirit 18

Bible, the, and modern thought

Objection - the bible is for many reasons deserving of veneration, but it is quite out of harmony with modern thought. The science, the aspirations, and the general point of view of the modern world are at the opposite pole from the contents of the bible 22

Bible "Myths"

Objection - the bible contains many stories that remind us forcibly of the myths of early pagan history. How can we be expected to believe the story of the serpent tempting eve - that of the flood, with its fabulous quantity of water - that of noe collecting the countless species of animals? - and then, is not god frequently represented in a strangely human way - when, for instance, he is described as taking slime and forming it into a human body, or as shaping adam's rib into a woman - or when he is said to be moved to wrath or to repent of his creation of man? 29

Bible, the, and the people

An accusation - it is notoriously the settled policy of Rome to withhold the Bible from the people: witness the number of decrees on the subject in the history of the papacy. Versions of the bible in the language of the people have been an object of the church's special aversion 37

Bible, the, and science

Objections - according to the bible the world was made in six days, whereas geology proves that enormous periods of time were required to bring the earth to its present condition. The earth, which astronomy has shown to be only a satellite of the sun, is represented by the bible as having been created before the sun; and the heavenly bodies, generally, are described as though they were lamps hung in the heavens to light the earth 44

Bible, the, and tradition

Protestant view - the bible alone is the Christian's rule of faith 48

Blessed virgin, the

Objections - to a non-catholic, devotion to the virgin mary seems to be given a very undue prominence in catholic worship: witness the feasts of Mary and the frequent devotions to mary. Besides, there is little or nothing to distinguish this homage from real worship of one of god's creatures 54

Boycotts

See "Labor unions"

Catholic and protestant countries

The charge - the leading countries of the world today are protestant. Great Britain, Germany, and the united states are the foremost nations in point of political power, commerce and industry, and general enlightenment; whilst catholic countries, such as Spain, Italy, and Ireland are very unprogressive, and France is apparently on the decline 58

Celibacy

A prejudice - "Take from the catholic church the compulsory celibacy of its priests, and the universal sway of the church is at an end." celibacy is unbiblical and its effect on morality is dubious. - tschackert 68

Ceremonies in public worship

Erroneous view - the public worship of the catholic church captivates the senses, but it savours little of adoration in spirit and in truth. - tschackert 65

Chance

A thoughtless assertion - the world owes its existence to chance. 67

"Christian science"

The new religion - "Christian science is based on teachings of scripture which it interprets, giving the christ principle in divine metaphysics which heals the sick and sinner. It explains the cause and effect as mental and shows the scientific relation of man to god." - mrs. Eddy's "Science and health" 68

Christ's divinity

A modern pronouncement - one of the results of modern criticism is that Jesus of Nazareth no longer stands upon the lofty eminence on which his adorers had placed him. He now takes rank only with those great men who approach nearest to the divine. In the light of modern criticism, his miracles are shorn of their supernatural character. Neither his words nor his works prove him to have been more than man 74

Church of Christ, the - how to find it

Objection - if the true church of christ is still in existence the claimants to that title are so numerous that the problem of finding the church is beyond the powers of any but extraordinary minds. The average man might be excused if he gave up the search 97

Church, the, as mediator

Objection - the church thrusts herself between christ and mankind; and yet christ is our one mediator with god. None the less the church has lost the world-subduing power she once possessed 119

Church, the, and salvation

Objection - Catholics are taught that outside the church of Rome there is no salvation. It is a poor recommendation of the roman religion that it sends the majority of men to eternal perdition 122

Communion under one kind

Objection - "The cuppe of the lord is not to be denied to the laye people. For both the parts of the lord's sacrament, by christie's ordinance and commandment, ought to have ministered to all Christian men alike." - thirty-nine articles of the church of England, art. 20. 125

Confession divinely instituted

Objection - it is not in the power of the creature to forgive offences committed against the creator; hence confession, in which the priest presumes to pardon sins, can not be of divine institution 129

Confession and the people

Some common accusations - confession - at least private confession - is an invention of the priests. It is the secret force by which the roman church enslaves the consciences of the people. One of the worst features of auricular confession is the practice of questioning penitents about their sins 136

Creation

See "God's existence"

Creeds and deeds

Erroneous view - right conduct does not seem to depend much upon formulas of belief. There are good and bad men in all religions. The great thing, after all, is to do what is right 141

Cremation

Objection - what is to prevent a Christian - catholic or non-catholic - from directing that his body be burned after his death? There is nothing intrinsically wrong in cremation and it may be made an important factor in public sanitation 144

Three books of occult philosophy or magic - Von Nettesheim Agrippa

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 05:40:00 +0000

Three books of occult philosophy or magic

von Nettesheim Agrippa

In the last half of 1509 and the first months of 1510, Cornelius Agrippa, known in his day as a Magician, gathered together all the Mystic lore he had obtained by the energy and ardour of youth and compiled it into the elaborate system of Magic, in three books, known as Occult Philosophy, the first book of which — Natural Magic— constitutes the present volume. Agrippa published his Occult Philosophy, with additional chapters, in 1533.

The only English translation appeared in London in 1651. It is a thoroughly edited and revised edition of this latter work that we produce.

Some translating has been done and missing parts supplied. The reader is assured that while we have modified some of the very broad English of the seventeenth century, he has a thoroughly valid work. Due care has been taken to preserve all the quaintness of the English text as far as consistent with plain reading. We have endeavoured to do full justice to our author, the demands of those purely mystical, and the natural conservatism of the antiquary and collector. In this, we believe we have fully succeeded.

The life of Agrippa, up to the time of writing his Occult Philosophy, is also given, drawn mostly from Henry Morley's excellent life of Cornelius Agrippa.

That part of the volume credited to Mr Morley may be designated as an honest sceptic's contribution to Mysticism, and his chapters are produced entirely, as justice to both him and Agrippa cannot be done otherwise, and they are an especially valuable part of Mystic literature.

Three books of occult philosophy or magiic by Cornelius Agrippa

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 05:33:00 +0000

Three books of occult philosophy or magic

Three books of occult philosophy or magic

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, (born Sept. 14, 1486, Cologne—died Feb. 18, 1535, Grenoble, Fr.), court secretary to Charles V, physician to Louise of Savoy, exasperating theologian within the Catholic Church, military entrepreneur in Spain and Italy, acknowledged expert on occultism, and philosopher.

The book "Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Magic" by Cornelius Agrippa, first published in 1531, is a comprehensive and influential work on the practice of magic and the occult. This 1898 edition is a translation of the original Latin text, providing readers with a detailed and insightful look into the world of magic and mysticism.

The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of occult philosophy. The first book covers natural magic, which deals with the use of natural elements and forces to achieve magical effects. Agrippa explores the properties of herbs, stones, and animals, as well as the influence of the planets and stars on magical practices. He also discusses the importance of ritual and symbolism in magic, emphasizing the need for proper preparation and intention in order to successfully harness supernatural powers.

The second book delves into celestial magic, which involves the invocation of angels and spirits to aid in magical workings. Agrippa provides detailed instructions on how to communicate with these higher beings, as well as the proper methods for summoning and commanding them. He also explores the concept of the magical alphabet and the use of sigils and symbols to establish a connection with the spiritual realm.

The third book focuses on ceremonial magic, which involves the performance of elaborate rituals and ceremonies to invoke supernatural forces. Agrippa discusses the use of talismans, amulets, and magical tools, as well as the importance of timing and location in conducting magical operations. He also explores the role of the magician as a mediator between the physical and spiritual worlds, emphasizing the need for discipline, dedication, and purity of heart in order to achieve success in magical endeavors.

Throughout the book, Agrippa draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, medieval grimoires, and his own personal experiences, to provide a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the practice of magic. He emphasizes the ethical and moral implications of magical practices, warning readers of the dangers of misuse and abuse of supernatural powers.

The Chinese fairy book (1921) by Richard Wilhelm - PDF ebook

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:46:00 +0000

The Chinese fairy book

The fairy tales and legends of olden China have in common with the "Thousand and One Nights" an oriental glow and glitter of precious stones and gold and multicolored silks, an oriental wealth of fantastic and supernatural action. And yet they strike an ex- otic note distinct in itself. The seventy-three stories here presented after original sources, embracing "Nursery Fairy Tales," "Legends of the Gods,"

"Tales of Saints and Magicians," "Nature and Animal Tales," "Ghost Stories," "Historic Fairy Tales," and "Literary Fairy Tales," probably represent the most comprehensive and varied collection of oriental fairy tales ever made available for American readers. y, their infinite variety of subject.

Yet, like the "Arabian Nights," they will amply repay the attention of the older reader as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as "The Mower-Elves," "The Lady of the Moon" or "The Herd Boy and the Weaving Maiden"; others like "How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches", carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry.

The summits of fantasy are scaled in the quasi-religious dramas of "The Ape Sun Wu Kung" and "Notcha," or the weird sorceries unfolded in "The Kindly Ma^cian". Delightful ghost stories, with happy endings, such as "A Night on the Battlefield" and "The Ghost Who Was Foiled," are paralleled with such idyllic love-tales as that of "Rose of Evening, or such Lilleputian fancies as "The King of the Ants" and "The Little Hunting Dog". It is quite safe to say that these Chinese fairy tales will give equal pleasure to the old as well as the young.

They have been retold simply, with no changes in style or expression beyond such details of presentation which differences between oriental and occidental viewpoints at times compel. It is the 'writer's hope that others may take as much pleasure in reading them as he did in their translation.

Taboo and genetics by Melvin Moses Knight - PDF ebook

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 01:39:00 +0000

Taboo and genetics, a study of the biological, sociological and psychological foundation of the family

scientific discovery, especially in biology, during the past two decades, has made necessary an entire restatement of the sociological problem of sex. Ward's so-called "Gynocentrism" theory, as sketched in Chapter 14 of his Pure Sociology, has been almost a bible on the sex problem to sociologists, in spite of the fact that modern laboratory experimentation has disproved it in almost every detail.

While a comparatively small number of people read this theory from the original source, it is still being scattered far and wide in the form of quota- tions, paraphrases, and interpretations by more popular writers. It is therefore necessary to gather together the biological data which are available from technical experimentation and medical research, in order that its social im- plications may be utilized to show the obsolete- ness of this older and unscientific statement of the sex problem in society. In order to have a thoroughly comprehensive survey of the institutions connected with sex- ual relationships and the family and their en- tire significance for human life, it is also necessary to approach them from the ethnological and psychological points of view.

The influence of the primitive sex taboos on the evolution of social mores and family life has received too little attention in the whole literature of sexual ethics and the sociology of sex. That these old customs have had an inestimable in- fluence upon the members of the group, modern psychology has recently come to recognize.

It, therefore, seems advantageous to include these psychological findings in the same book with the discussion of the sex taboos and other material with which it must so largely deal. These fields biology, ethnology, and psychology are so complicated and so far apart technically, although their social implications are so closely interwoven, that it has seemed best to divide the treatment between three different writers, each of whom has devoted much study to his special phase of the subject.

This leads to a very simple arrangement of the material. The first part deals with the physical or biological basis of the sex problem, which all societies from the most primitive to the most advanced have had and still have to build upon.

The second part deals with the various ideas man has developed in his quest for a satisfactory adaptation of this physical basis to his own requirements. Part three attempts to analyze the effect of this long history of social experimentation upon the human psyche in its modern social milieu.

Instincts of the herd in peace and war - PDF by Wilfred Trotter

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 15:16:00 +0000

Instincts of the herd in peace and war

The first two essays in this book were written some ten years ago and published in the Sociological Review in 1908 and 1909.

They had formed a single paper, but it was found necessary to publish in two instalments at an interval of six months and to cut down to a considerable extent the total bulk. It was lately suggested to me that as the numbers of the reviews in which the two essays appeared were out of print, the fact that the subject concerned was not without some current interest might justify a republication. It was not possible to do this without trying to embody such fruits as there might be of ten years further speculation and some attempt to apply to present affairs the principles which had been sketched out. The new comment very soon surpassed by far in bulk the original text, and constitutes, in fact, all but a comparatively few pages of this book.

This rather minute record is made here not because it has any interest of its own, but especially to point out that I have been engaged in trying to apply to the affairs of today principles which had taken shape ten years ago. I point this out not in order to claim any gift of foresight in having suggested so long ago reasons for regarding the stability of civilization as unsuspectedly slight, but because it is notorious that the atmosphere of a great war is unfavourable to free speculation. If the principles upon which my argument is based had been evolved during the present times, the reader would have had special reason to suspect their validity however plausible they might seem in the refracting air of national emergency. The general purpose of this book is to suggest that the science of psychology is not the mass of dreary and indefinite generalities of which it sometimes perhaps seems to be made up; to suggest that, especially when studied in relation to other branches of biology,

it is capable of becoming a guide in the actual affairs of life and of giving an understanding of the human mind such as may enable us in a practical and useful way to foretell some of the course of human behaviour.

The present state of public affairs gives an excellent chance for testing the truth of this suggestion and adds to the interest of the experiment the strong incentive of an urgent national peril.

Fragmentos del libro

Ante una nueva exposiciöu de im ponodo importance de la Historia de la Filosofia, la primera cuestiön que se suscita es la de saber que concepciön toma el autor como base de la filosofia y que sentido y que valor atribuye ä la Historia de la Filosofia. A esto responderia yo que los estudios cuya couclusiön momentänea se traduce por la edieiön de esta obra, tienen precisamente por objeto ayudar al püblico ä saber lo que es la filosofia. A la manera que por la biografia venimos en conocimiento del hombre, asi en su historia podemos conocer una ciencia.

Y parece tanto mäs natural caminar por estos rumbos, cuanto que la experiencia muestra coutiuuamente que en el dominio de la filosofia tienen identico vaior las opiniones controvertidas.

No puede, por tanto, rechazarse ningün relato de la filosofia, del cual se pueda afirmar que da una idea profunda de esta ciencia. Parece, pues, natural emplear aqui el metodo comparado como en el dominio de la religiön. La Historia de la Filosofia tratä de las tentativas hechas por ciertos pensadores para discutir los problemas Ultimos del conocimiento y de la vida. El resultado mäs importante serä esclarecer la naturaleza de los problemas objeto de la filosofia, el modo con quo estos problemas han sido puestos en las diferentes epocas, y las razones que determinan las diversas maneras da poner estos problemas .

Extracto

sin justicia el conflicto entre España y los Estados Unidos ha atraido las miradas del mundo entero. Los hombres reflexivos de Europa y América esperaban, con el corazón palpitante, el resultado de una lucha que, en realidad, no era otra cosa que el certamen en que dos razas, esencialmente antagónicas, se disputaban la supremacía sobre el Continente descubierto por Colón, y en los varioS sucesos de una gnerra que, tanto por su duración cortísima, como por descaso número de los combatientes parecía de poca monta, veían no la guerra misma, sino la solución de este problema que lleva un siglo de planteado: ¿ejercerá ó no el sajonismo, la hegemonía en esta parte del mundo?

Y la ejipectativa ansiosa de lo que la suerte de las armas decidiera, era mayor todavía en los pueblos latino americanos, que, aunque obligados por el Derecho Internacional á guardar correcta actitud de neutralidad, no podían presenciar sin emoción profunda el desenlace del drama que habría de decidir de sus futuros destinos. De todos esos pueblos, el nuestro es el que, por razón de su situación geográfica, ha manifestado mayor anciedad por los resultados de la pelea; y conocerla en todos sus Jetalles es una necesi^ígd imperiosa, no de curiosidad histórica ó de reflexiones sociológicas, sino de interés

Accepting the Universe PDF by John Burroughs

Accepting the universe

Accepting the universe by John Burroughs

The book is a confession of John Burroughs, he refuses the Abrahamic God and talks about his Philosophy which is similar to pantheism and following nature as the stoic did.

A wheel may have many spokes but can have but one hub. So I may say of this volume that there are many themes and chapter headings, but there is but one central thought into which they all converge: that the universe is good and that it is our rare good fortune to form a part of it. As this collection of essays does not aim to be a systematic treatise on any one theme, but rather a series of sallies, excursions, into the world of semi-philosophical speculation, there is inevitably much repetition; there may even be some contradiction.
But I have concluded to let them stand, as I find myself an interested spectator of the workings of my own mind when, in following different roads, it arrives at the same truth. As all roads lead to Rome, so in the realm in which my mind works in this volume, all roads lead to the conclusion that this is the best possible world, and these people in it are the best possible people.

The heart of Nature is sound. I feel toward the great Mother somewhat as a man who takes out a policy in an insurance company: he believes the company is solvent and will meet its obligations. I look upon the universe as a solvent and worthy of trust. In other words, this is a book of radical optimism. It might be described as an attempt to justify the ways of God to man on natural grounds. My reader need hardly be told that theological grounds do not count with me.

I want nothing less than a faith founded upon a rock, faith in the constitution of things. The various man-made creeds are fictitious, like the constellations — Orion, Cassiopeia's Chair, the Big Dipper; the only thing real in them is the stars, and the only thing real in the creeds is the soul's aspiration toward the Infinite. This abides, though creeds and dogmas change or vanish,

The living flame of love - PDF book by John of the Cross

The living flame of love

The living flame of love by John of the Cross

From the introduction:

It is now many years ago, long before the episcopal burthen pressed upon his shoulders, that the author enjoyed the pleasure of knowing, and frequently conversing with, the estimable Gorres at Munich.

One day the conversation turned on a remark in that deep writer s Philosophy of Mysticism, to the effect that saints most remarkable for their mystical learning and piety were far from exhibiting, in their features and expression, the characteristics usually attributed to them.

They are popularly considered, and by artists represented, as soft, fainting, and perhaps hysterical persons; whereas their portraits present to us countenances of men, or women, of a practical, business-like, working character.

The author asked Gorres if he had ever seen an original likeness of St. Teresa, in whom he had thought these remarks were particularly exemplified. He replied that he never had; and the writer, on returning to Rome, fulfilled the promise which he had made the philosopher, by procuring a sketch of an authentic portrait of that saint, preserved with great care in the Monastery of St. Sylvester, near Tusculum.

It was painted for Philip II. by a concealed artist, while he was conversing with her. This portrait confirms most strongly the theory of Gorres, as the author wrote to him with the drawing; for while no mystical saint has ever been more idealised by artists, or represented as living in a continual swoon than St. Teresa, her true portraits all represent her with strong, firmly set, and almost masculine features, with forms and lines that denoted vigour, resolution, and strong sense. Her handwriting perfectly suggests the same conclusion.

Still, more does the successful activity of her life, in her many painful struggles, under every possible disadvantage, and her final and complete triumph, strengthen this idea of her. And then, her almost superhuman prudence, by which she guided so many minds, and prosperously conducted so many complicated interests and affairs, and her wonderful influence over men of high education and position, and of great powers, is further evidence of her strong, commanding nature; such as, in the world, might have claimed an almost unexampled pre-eminence.

It is not improbable that some who take up these volumes or dip into them here and there may conceive that they were written by a dreamy ascetic, who passed his life in hazy contemplation of things unreal and unpractical.

Yet it was quite the contrary. Twin-saint, it may be said, to St. Teresa sharer in her labours and in her sufferings, St. John of the Cross, actively and unflinchingly pursued their joint object, that of reforming and restoring to its primitive purity and observance the religious Order of Carmelites, and founding, throughout Spain, a severer branch, known as discalced, or barefooted Carmelites; or more briefly, as Teresians.

We do not possess any autobiography of St. John, as we do of St. Teresa, or the more active portion and character of his life would be at once apparent. Moreover, only very few of his letters have been preserved not twenty, in fact or we should undoubtedly have had sufficient evidence of his busy and active life. But, even as it is, proofs glance out from his epistles of this important element in his composition. In his [third] letter he thus writes to the religious of Veas, a highly favoured foundation: What is wanting in you, if, indeed, anything be wanting, is ... silence and work. For, whereas speaking distracts, silence and action collect the thoughts and strengthen the spirit/ And again:

To arrest this evil, and to preserve our spirit, as I have said, there is no surer remedy than to suffer, to work, to be silent/ It was not, therefore, a life of visionary or speculative meditation that St. John taught even the nuns to pursue, but one of activity and operative occupation. But we may judge of his own practice by a passage in another of his letters. Thus he writes: I have been waiting to finish these visitations and foundations which our Lord has hastened forward in such wise that there has been no time to spare.

The friars have been received at Cordova with the greatest joy and solemnity on the part of the whole city. ... I am now busied at Seville with the removal of the nuns, who have bought one of the principal houses at a cost of about 14,000 ducats, being worth more than 20,000. They are now established there. Before my departure, I intend to establish another house of friars here, so that there will be two of our Order in Seville. Before the feast of St. John, I shall set forth to Ecija, where, with the Divine blessing, we shall found another; thence to Malaga

Ancient mystic oriental masonry (1907) PDF by Swinburne Clymer

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:25:00 +0000

Ancient mystic oriental masonry, its teachings, rules, laws, and present usages which govern the order at the present day .

Ancient mystic oriental masonry,

Excerpt from the introduction;

In placing the present work before the public I have no apology whatever to offer, and this is for several reasons. First, because I have been ordered to prepare it, and Second, because much of what I herein give is not new, for the simple reason that there can be nothing new in Masonry.

True, many a thing, especially what concerns Mystic Masonry, has not been given to a profane people, but this is not to say that it is new, for it is not. I know that the present work will stand unchallenged as to the Truths it contains, and this is for the reason that I quote from the highest Masonic authorities in the world, and that which concerns Mystic Masonry comes directly from him who knows and who has no superior in this work.

I also know that I will not be accused of stealing, for the very good reason that I give credit for every single quotation, unless it was changed. With these facts before me, I can feel well satisfied to let it go forward. There are several reasons why this book should go before the people, and especially before Masons themselves.

Too little is known by my Brother Masons concerning that Order to which they have the honour to belong, but which some of them do not honour, and the present work, prepared from the highest authorities, will give them some idea of what the underlying principle of their teachings is. It has also become necessary to let the world know that Mystic Masonry exists and has existed for many years, although not always under that name.

Not much can be said concerning the Order, for the reason that even its degrees may not become known to a pro- fane world. Craft Masons can learn all they desire concerning it, provided they are willing to pay the price, not in current coin, but in their duty and in work. Initiation is not what it is generally supposed to be. All Masons know what Ceremonial Initiation is, but this is simply the outward symbol of the inner work.

Take it; suggestions as to your right to the world

George Matthew Adams

The world is here. Some of us get four years more of education than others, but that’s not much. Some of us have rich parents and some poor ones. Ifs a question which is better. Some of us live in the country and some in the city, but the geography of our lives is of little vital importance. In fact, hardly anything alters the fact that the world is here. George Matthew Adams knows this, so he says f( Take It.”

There are no conditions, no equivocations to the title of this book. Somehow I feel he is right after I turn anywhere into this book and read six or eight of these talks.

I know I do after I have spent a half hour of my time with him, and that is often my privilege. I know the big business office he runs. Everyone in that office has the spirit of a fighter and a conqueror—even “Mike” who wraps the packages.

George Matthew Adams is a “taker” himself, and he multiplies himself. He takes knocks and bounces back up. He takes victories and looks ahead for some more of the enemy. He takes cities and passes on to the next one. (Salesmen will know what I mean.)

He takes life with a square jaw and the buoyant, resilient heart of a boy. And, best of all, he takes dozens, hun¬ dreds, of people along with him into that world of enthusiasm that he creates anew every morning.

He should do himself into a book. s right that he should. Now he can take thousands along.

The Memories of Epicurus - PDF by Adel Elsherif

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:48:00 +0000

The Memories of Epicurus is a captivating bridge between the distant past and modern psychological needs.

The Memories of Epicurus

Author Adel Elsherif succeeds in transforming Epicurus from a "distant figure in dusty texts" into a living, breathing voice that speaks directly to the reader.

The book's greatest strength lies in its unique structure. By blending historical research with fictionalized dialogues, Elsherif allows us to sit under the fig tree and witness Epicurus defending his ideas against rivals like the Stoic Epictetus or the Platonist Crates.

This approach effectively dismantles centuries of "misconceptions" and "slanders," revealing a philosopher who championed simplicity and friendship over the caricature of mindless indulgence often associated with his name.

Beyond biography, the work serves as a practical manual for mental health.

It provides a clear breakdown of the "Fourfold Remedy" (Tetrapharmakon) for anxiety and introduces the "Calculus of Advantage"—a logical framework for making life choices that prioritize long-term peace over fleeting pleasure. Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply someone seeking a "sanctuary of reason," this book offers a profound and accessible path to tranquility.

he Memories of Epicurus: A Blend of Fiction and Philosophy

Author: Adel Elsherif

Discover the true face of the man who redefined happiness.

Inside this book, you will find:

A Living Memoir: Experience fictionalized scenes where Epicurus debates the giants of philosophy and shares his life story.

The Language of Tranquility: A detailed guide to essential Epicurean concepts like Ataraxia (mental calm) and Aponia (absence of pain).

The Fourfold Remedy: Learn the ancient prescription for overcoming fear of the gods, death, and suffering.

Practical Wisdom: Explore the "Calculus of Advantage" to help you navigate modern life's stressors through sober reasoning and simple living.

Scientific Foundations: An accessible look at Epicurean atomic theory and how it serves as a shield against superstition.

This book is not just a history lesson; it is a "medicine for the soul" designed to help you find your own path to a simple, fearless, and free life.

Join Epicurus under the fig tree and start your journey toward tranquility today.

The initiates of the flame by Manly P. Hall - PDF ebook (1922)

noreply@blogger.com (Adel Sherif ) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:41:00 +0000

The initiates of the flame

Few realize that even at the present stage of civilization in this world, there are souls who, like the priests of the ancient temples, walk the earth and watch and guard the sacred fires that burn upon the altar of humanity.
Purified ones they are, who have renounced the life of this sphere in order to guard and protect the Flame, that spiritual principle in man, now hidden beneath the ruins of his fallen temple.
As we think of the nations that are past, of Greece and Rome and the grandeur that was Egypt, we sigh as we recall the story of their fall; and we watch the nations of today, not knowing which will be the next to draw its shroud around itself and join that great ghostly file of peoples that are dead. But everywhere, even in the rise and fall of nations, we see through the haze of materiality, justice; everywhere we see the reward, not of man but of the invincible One, the sternal Flame

A great hand reaches out from the unseen and regulates the affairs of man. It reaches out from that great spiritual Flame which nourishes all created things, the never-dying fire that burns on the sacred altar of the Cosmos — that great fire which is the spirit of God.

If we turn again to the races now dead, we shall find the cause of their destruction if we look again. The light had gone out. When the flame within the body is withdrawn, the body is dead.

When the light was taken from the altar, the temple was no longer the dwelling place of a living God. Degeneracy, lust, and passion, hates and fears, crept into the souls of Greece and Rome, and Black Magic overshadowed Egypt; the light upon the altar grew weaker and weaker. The priests lost the Word, the name of the Flame. Little by little the Flame flickered out, and as the last spark grew cold, a mighty nation died, buried beneath the dead ashes of its own spiritual fire. But the Flame did not die. Like the spirit of which it is the essence, it cannot die, because it is life, and life cannot cease to be. In some wilderness of land or sea, it rested once again, and there rose a mighty nation around that flame. So history goes on through the ages.

As long as a people are true to the Flame, it remains, but when they cease to nourish it with their lives, it goes on to other lands and other worlds. Those who worship this Flame are now called heathens. Little do we realize that we are heathen ourselves until we are baptized of the Holy which is Fire, for fire is Light, and the children of the Flame are the Sons of Light, even as God is Light. There are those who have for ages labored with man to help him to kindle within himself this spark, which is his divine birthright. It is these who by their lives of self-sacrifice and service have awakened and tended this fire, and who through ages of study have learned the mystery it contained, that we now call the "Initiates of the Flame. ,,

For ages, they have labored with mankind to help him to uncover the light within himself, and on the pages of history, they have left their seal, the seal of Fire. Unhonored and unsung they have labored with humanity, and now their lives are used as fairy stories to amuse children, but the time will yet come when the world shall know the work they did, and realize that our present civilization is raised upon the shoulders of the mighty demigods of the past. We stand as Faust stood, with all our lore, a fool no wiser than before, because we refuse to take the truths they gave us and the evidence of their experiences. Let us honor these Sons of the Flame, not by words, but by so living that their sacrifice shall not/BeGn vain. They have shown us the way, they have led man to the gateway of the unknown, and there in their robes of glory passed behind the Veil. Their lives were the key to their wisdom, as it must always be. They have gone, but in history, they stand, as milestones on the road of human progress.
