There was a time when being an "Arab" didn't mean you were necessarily Muslim. It was a time when Oscar Hayoun, a Jewish Arab, strode along the Nile in a fashionable suit, long before he and his father arrived at the port of Haifa to join the Zionist state only to find themselves hosed down with DDT and then left unemployed on the margins of society. In that time, Arabness was a mark of cosmopolitanism, of intellectualism.

"There are no unsacred places," the poet Wendell Berry has written. "There are only sacred places and desecrated places." What might it mean to behold the world with such depth and feeling that it is no longer possible to imagine it as something separate from ourselves, or to live without regard for its well-being? To understand the work of seeing things as an utterly involving moral and spiritual act? Such questions have long occupied the center of contemplative spiritual traditions.

La lettura dei tarocchi è considerata un’arte misteriosa, spesso buona solo per gli amanti del misticismo.

A groundbreaking account of the Secret Gospel of Mark, one of the most hotly debated documents in Christian history.

Life is a constant reminder that nothing, however powerful in one season, remains so in the next. These endless cycles of change could really spook someone who is unprepared to face the realities. Remember that situations of helplessness are always created by one’s own limited imagination.

Opera che ci aiuta ad attivare nuove abilità, a deprogrammare la mente, liberandoci dalle paure, a risvegliare il grande creativo e il guaritore che è in noi, colui che può aspirare a giganteschi traguardi con naturalezza, che può puntare a conquistare il potere del denaro e l'abbondanza, mantenendo il contatto con il corpo, l'armonia con la natura e con la vita in un equilibrato dominio sul tempo: ci insegna a diventare sciamani. Lo sciamanismo non appartiene al passato. E' vivo, è una speranza per la natura, per il futuro, per l'anima del mondo!

This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankind’s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be as Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.
