Who hasn’t asked themselves what there is to life beyond just living? What is true purpose in life? There must be higher purpose than just living… In the book “Who am I?”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan describes that one’s ultimate life purpose is to find an answer to the age-old unanswered question of spiritual seekers: Who am I, and who is the ‘doer’ of all that happens in life? Dadashri also resolves questions such as: “What is the nat...
Esta historia trata sobre la historia, mitológica, de Malintzin o La Malinche, la mujer más despreciada de la historia de México y de Latinoamérica
Cuando la niña era desvaciada del vientre de la madre, Oluta advirtió que sus ojivas tenían la forma de ojos de sierpe y que su boca, balbuceante, mostraba dos perfectos dientes, otra palmaria señal que le confirmaba la llegada de un conflicto a gran escala, “un final de los tiempos, un terrible cataclismo nahua”. A esta atrocidad hipotética, le añadía el horror de una mancha roja parecida a una flor de huauhtli que se esparcía oronda por la frente fina de la niña. “E...
There are always two ways of understanding religions whose origins stem from hermetic traditions of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Babylon; namely Exoteric and Esoteric, whether they be Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. In the book Esoteric Islam, I describe Islam to be one of the reflections of hermetic philosophy, and representative of the ideals of great ancient teachings of Astrology and Alchemy.
The history of man bears witness to his great struggle for discovering the right formula to conduct affairs in various aspects of his life. Time and again, men devised ideas of religious, political, or cultural nature that have continually brought solace from the ignominy of senseless conflicts that afflicted their mode of existence, and thereby they grew spiritually through those experiences and trials. The wisdom of the ancients is not actually based on absolute princi...
People have had numerous goals and aspirations in life. However, most of us have failed to address the basic question, “Who am I?” For times immemorial, people are going after materialistic things in life. However, a true Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) will show the right path towards self-realization and help us liberate from the worldly shackles. In the presented book, Param Pujya Dadashri (Gnani Purush) has discussed on soul and its properties and a variety of t...
Param Pujya Dadashri, the revered scientist of Akram Vignan (the direct path to Self-realization) has explained about mahatmas’ (Self-realized followers of Param Pujya Dadashri) puzzles about their worldly interaction, their difficulties in following the Agnas (the five cardinal spiritual instructions given after Self-realization) and about the ways in which they can remain in jagruti (awareness of the Self). Jagruti would include moving from the belief of ‘I am Chan...
What is Christian Satanism? It is a gray sided belief. It isn’t a thing of heroes and villains but for those who more naturally fit in between. Gray sided things are so uncommon that there are very few terms to be found for them. There are words for heroes and villains but not any one who would be in between those. Gray magic is seldom discussed. There is heaven and hell- but for us there is earth. Christian Satanism is here to establish the first gray sided people, The Christian Satanist.
It will be much beneficial to those interested in that line! Sorry, it is not in a perfect form. Because of its staleness, the pages had darkened beyond repair. Each page is photographed. Cut to size. And the book made. Attempt is made to correct the de-colorization as far as possible. Please bear with me the shortcomings!

Nesse livro, colocaremos o ensino como um dos poderes republicanos. A exemplo do estatuido por Karel Vasak com a evolução dos Direitos Humanos, acreditamos que é chegado o momento também de uma evolução dos poderes, numa conjuntura quadripartite, em que o ensino passará a integrar o sistema de freios e contrapesos, com orçamento próprio e independência.
Os principais bens a serem partilhados nesse momento são o conhecimento e o ensino. Utilizando uma ideia do próprio Karl Marx, devemos atacar qualquer tipo de problema em suas causas e não nas consequências, sob pena de corrermos o risco de falhar em nossa análise. Dessa maneira, pessoas que possuem alto grau de instrução conseguem compreender melhor os parâmetros de equidade e justiça. Em contrapartida, em nações onde o ensino não é levado a sério e não recebe os devido...

The Game Maker’s Bible is a book that teaches good game making. It goes over good ideas, bad ideas, different kinds of games, story development, particular elements such as game mechanics, and more. It also contains a section for all new ideas that are free to use. This is a new public domain book. I hope you share it, enjoy it, and even continue where I left off.
Un hombre reprimido finalmente encuentra el amor donde más odiaba.
Una tarde de invierno, lejos ya de las turbias nevadas, mientras volvía a casa, un viejo de unos 60 años se rió a mis espaldas y le escuché decir: “¡Anda, qué ahí va la imagen del nuncafollismo español”. Claro que aquello me perturbó. Incluso giré mi rostro hacia aquella figura encorvada y me señalé a mí mismo con el dedo, en una pose amenazadora y vengativa. Pero el viejo, rotundo, con su cara seria y amortajada, de arriba abajo, me contestó: “¡Joder, a que sí!”.
El luto visto desde una perspectiva literaria
Esa mirada franca que ambos poseían, Tolstoy y mi mujer, y que tenía el poder de subyugar a cualquier voluntad, por terca que fuera, para enderezarla por el camino del bien con la dulzura de la razón y el amor, y a la que yo, un imbécil bien pagado de mí mismo, había hecho entristecer por muchos años.
"Lives in the Balance does a remarkable job of integrating vast amounts of information about nuclear weapons and the Cold War, and it does so with a rare degree of common sense and skepticism about the conventional wisdom. Moti Nissani's interdisciplinary approach provides many fascinating insights and speculations about the psychology and politics of American foreign policy and about what may be necessary to create more humane policies in the future."-William A. Schwart...
Democracy may be capable of rational actions, but only if given a chance. Humanitarians should give it that chance by concentrating their scarce energies and resources on those defects in our way of doing politics which make otherwise sane human beings vote against their interests and convictions. The struggle against deep-seated structural flaws in our political system must precede the struggles against their terribly important surface manifestations. For the time being...
Uno de los mejores cuentos cortos de ciencia ficción de la literatura latinoamericana.
No podía siquiera cobrar venganza. Aquella revelación hizo que Gugumatz se deprimiera y aflorara en él el destino del que ninguno se apartará. Sus últimas esperanzas se esfumaban con su actual testimonio y por ende la futilidad de su existencia. ¿Esto era todo? ¿Para qué sirve la consciencia y el conocimiento? ¿De qué sirve el amor? ¿Para vivir en un sufrimiento continúo? La vida inteligente a su alrededor era inexistente y nadie podría oír sus lamentos ni entender su do...
A world where enchanters put their long-ago efforts into living creatures, not swords and such. And those creatures were mostly human beings. And the result is that there are seven magical bloodlines, seven different magical talents, where, if the breeding comes out right, a baby is born who in adolescence will show his clan's magical ability. His clan's. Because, with almost no exceptions, only the boys become blood warriors. Women can only be breeders, and, if...
"You're halfway to being a remarkable warrior," said Gilbert, leaning back against one of the granite blocks while he caught his breath from another sparring session. "What do I do?" "The other half. You've got the warrior part, now you need the blood half." "I will." "I know you will. You're willing to work, work like a maniac, which is great. But there's three things about becoming the best you can with the blood talent." "Tell me." "One is to work...
