7 Books We Lost to History That Would Have Changed the World
The vast majority of the knowledge humans have assembled over the centuries, has been lost. The world's geniuses either kept their revelations to themselves and then died, or else they put it down on paper which has long since rotted or burned or been used to line some parakeet's cage. Obviously we'll never know what great books have been lost to time, but we have clues on some of them, and what those clues tell us is mind-boggling, and a little bit depressing. If you could make a library out of just books that didn't survive, you'd have a collection of some of the best freaking books ever written. The Gospel of Eve, by Unknown What is it: It is apparently a totally sexually perverse lost book of the Bible. (Wait, what? Why it's Awesome: Ah ha! Why You'll Never Read It: In the 4th Century church officials like Epiphanius lashed out at the book, apparently having nothing better to do than stop everyone from having sex and eating a little bit of semen. Heh heh heh. [Artist's depiction.]
Three Essential Skills to Success as a Digital Nomad
[Editors Note: This is a guest post by Sean Ogle of Location180] I remember the moment in January of 2010 that I stepped off the plane in Bangkok, Thailand to begin my new life: I was clueless. A few months prior, I’d quit my job as a financial analyst with only two goals in mind: to travel and run my own business. I had grandiose dreams of living on a tropical island and making money in my sleep–you know, the same illusion every other cubicle dweller as at some point or another. From not knowing how to order Pad Thai on the street, to getting my first Thai massage and not knowing what to do, it’s safe to say I was the worst digital nomad in the world. If you’re reading this, my guess is you’re on a path to do something similar. Obviously, there are a limitless number of ways to approach it, and what worked for me may not be work for you. Skill #1: Discipline (yes, this is a skill) I couldn’t believe this is what my life had become. It was the disciplined decision.

10 Ways To Raise Your Consciousness
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” -Lao Tzu What highly conscious people talk about (from the film 'My Dinner With Andre') “Watch your thoughts; they become words. 10 Ways To Raise Your Consciousness Becoming more conscious is the progressive realization of conscious mastery over your mind. 1. First, accept the truth. Secondly, speak the truth. The more you’re able to accept and speak the truth, the more conscious you become. Yes, there may be consequences when you switch from lies and half-truths to the full truth, but highly conscious people know that crossing that bridge is well worth the effect. A short-term adjustment is nothing compared to the joys of living honestly and openly. 2. Courage is the gatekeeper between unconscious growth and conscious growth. A powerful guiding principle to adopt is, “Whatever I fear, I must face.” 3. 4. 5. 6. First and foremost, know thyself. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Peter Sloterdijk in English [updated July 2013] | Te Ipu Pakore: The Broken Vessel
Peter Sloterdijk (b.1947) is the coming man in philosophical anthropology (or rather, on the comeback after his first brush with fame in the 80s) — though his work is translated more often in French and Spanish than in English. His Sisyphean Spheres trilogy (1998, 1999, 2004), a decade in the making and as yet untranslated in English, seems to have prevented his work becoming more broadly known in the Anglo world. This has begun to change over the past year, as his hyperbolic philosophy has returned parabolically, as it were, his motifs of anthropo-technology, spherology and atmoterrorism having found their moment in this time of genetics, globalization and global warming.
