Collana: Perle di saggezza. L’incontro con un Maestro è un colpo di fulmine. All’improvviso si avverte una completezza che è, infondo, il senso ultimo anche del comune innamoramento; ovvero la ricerca dell’unità perduta, comegià ipotizzava Platone.Osho offre una narrazione più attuale, spiegando che “l’essere umano nasce consapevole, e in seguitosi addormenta. Nasce integro, e in seguito si fraziona in mille identità. L’uomo nasce in quantoindividuo, ma poi cade addormentato e sogna di essere una folla.Il problema dell’essere umano è tutto qui, ed è qui che si annida la sfida della vita.

Jesus’ parables. They are widely known–or at least often referenced. But does that mean they are well understood? Having slipped into the lingua franca of our day, we could be missing some of what He was communicating. If familiarity breeds contempt, perhaps our sense that we know these stories insulates us from what Jesus was saying about life with God.

The US Army entered World War II unprepared. Lacking Germany's blitzkrieg approach of coordinated armor and air power, the army was organized to fight two wars: one on the ground and one in the air. Previous commentators have blamed Congressional funding and public apathy for the army's unprepared state. David E. Johnson believes instead that the principal causes were internal: army culture and bureaucracy, and their combined impact on the development of weapons and doctrine.

Silicon Valley is imperializing the planet. With nearly bottomless supplies of cash and ambition, a small group of companies have been gradually seizing symbolic and practical civic leadership in America and worldwide. But Silicon Valley does not answer to the electorate; nor have they been voted into office. And the perils of their influence are only now making themselves known.

Journalist Krithika Varagur's Da'wa chronicles the House of Saud as it systematically transforms the Muslim world in its own image, in one of the major imperial projects in today's world, on par with China's economic diplomacy. Since 1979, Saudi Arabia has spent $1.8 billion per year, by one estimate, to propagate its puritanical brand of Islam, called Salafism or Wahhabism.
