 Zvi Elpeleg, Rachel Kessel, "Through the Eyes of the Mufti: The Essays of Haj Amin, Translated and Annotated" English | 2009 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 0853039704 | PDF | 4,7 mb Mufti Haj Amin al-Husayni had no chance of prevailing against the well-organized Zionist movement with its international support. The Palestinian Party that he headed after the First World War was split, conflicted and rife with corruption. In particular, it was isolated, with neighbouring Arab countries more concerned with their own problems. In light of this state of affairs, Haj Amin sought to enlist the help of the Arab and Muslim world in favor of the Palestinians. How did he do this? When appealing to the Arab world, he utilized the myth that the Zionists intended to use the Land of Israel as a base from which they would seek to conquer all Arab countries; when appealing to the Muslim world, he said that the Jews wished to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build their temple on its ruins. Another of the Mufti's myths is the story of 'the ancient conspiracy', recounting the Description of the British and the Jews to expel the Arabs from Palestine and award the consequently uninhabited land to the Jews. Even though this 'Description' was unsubstantiated, at the time it became anchored in the consciousness of millions of local Palestinians who believed the Mufti's inventions and were alarmed by them. This remains true to a great degree to this very day. The book presents the Mufti's essays - the literal source of those myths, as well as notes and essays which reply to the ideas presented by Haj Amin.

This majestic portrait gives no inkling of Theodora's very humble beginnings or her improbable rise to fame and power. Raised in a family of circus performers near Constantinople's Hippodrome, she abandoned a successful acting career in her late teens to follow a lover whom she was legally forbidden to marry. When he left her, she was a single mother who built a new life for herself as a secret agent, in which role she met the heir to the throne. To the shock of the ruling elite, the two were married, and when Justinian assumed power in 527, they ruled the Eastern Roman Empire together.  mr vincent v Ramoshaba, "The reality of science" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1718850980 | ASIN: B07KRTML35 | EPUB | pages: 24 | 0.1 mb The book is basically all about science but based on my ideas concerning the world and it's scientific inheritance in particular.

The original I Ching oracle: The pure and complete texts with concordance By Shantena Augusto Sabbadini, Rudolf Ritsema 2005 | 872 Pages | ISBN: 1842931261 | PDF | 19 MB The Original I Ching Oracle represents the most substantial advance in I Ching scholarship since Richard Wilhelm introduced the oracle to the West in the 1920s. The tradition concerning the birth of the I Ching is intertwined with myths about the origin of Chinese civilization. According to the traditional narrative, the book came into being through the insights of three legendary sages. The first sage is a fully mythical being, Fu Xi, the first emperor, sometimes represented with a serpent body and a human head. The third sage, who is supposed to have carried the work to completion, is a fully historical person, although surrounded by a legendary aura: Confucius, the "master of ten thousand generations." Between the two Stands the man who is considered the principal author of the book, a figure straddling history and legend: King Wen, the founder of the Zhou dynasty, which ruled China during most of the first millennium BC, the time when the I Ching actually came into use.And now Rudolf Ritsema and Shantena Sabbadini have produced the only translation from the original Chinese that offers the I Ching in its original purity, freeing it from any specific interpretation. The innovative translation method used by the authors consistently renders each Chinese ideogram by a "core-word" and amplifies this by an associated "field of meaning," thus creating - for the first time in a Western language - a concordance to the oracular texts. Furthermore, the "fields of meaning" allow the Western reader to access the full wealth and subtlety of imagination held within these texts, just as a Chinese reader would, without being confined by the specific interpretation chosen by a translator.The Original I Ching Oracle is a book of divination and a psychological tool, the like of which has not been seen before in the Western world. In it the divinatory texts do not have a fixed meaning, but resonate, once the user has selected an appropriate image within the "field of meaning," with the Specific question and situation submitted to the oracle. By recovering the original shamanic images, often veiled by years of later philosophical interpretation, The Original I Ching Oracle puts the reader in contact with a deep universal dimension of the psyche, as present for us today as it was in China more than 3,000 years ago.[Note: red color text portions are rendered in black in order to keep pdf size within reasonable limits ] |
