  • The Marriage of Heaven and Hell audiobook
    by William Blake
    The work was composed between 1790 and 1793, in the period of radical foment and political conflict immediately after the French Revolution. The title is an ironic reference to Emanuel Swedenborg's theological work Heaven and Hell published in Latin 33 years earlier. Swedenborg is directly cited and criticized by Blake several places in the Marriage. Though Blake was influenced by his grand and mystical cosmic conception, Swedenborg's conventional moral structures and his Manichean view of good and evil led Blake to express a deliberately depolarized and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are equally part of the divine order, hence, a marriage of heaven and hell. The book is written in prose, except for the opening "Argument" and the "Song of Liberty". The book describes the poet's visit to Hell, a device adopted by Blake from Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost. (Summary by Wikipedia)

    Wow. I’ve heard about this book for some time. It was utterly underwhelming. It amazes me how we take ignorance for wisdom because the speaker uses the feined intellectual words of arrogance to make his or her point.

    "To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift.
    Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves."
    -- from "The Doors of Perception" (1954)
    The Doors of Perception details #AldousHuxley's experiences when taking mescaline. The book takes the form of Huxley's recollection of a mescaline trip that took place over the course of an afternoon, and takes its title from a phrase in #WilliamBlake's 1793 poem "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." Huxley recalls the insights he experienced, which range from the "PURELY #AESTHETIC" to "#SACRAMENTAL #VISION". He also incorporates later reflections on the experience and its meaning for #ART and #RELIGION.

    All the Chinese need is for the Saudis to sell China oil in exchange for yuan. If the House of Saud decides to pursue that exchange, the Gulf petro-monarchies will follow suit, and then Nigeria, and so on. This will fundamentally threaten the petrodollar.
    "In 2014 Russia and China signed two mammoth 30-year contracts for Russian gas to China. The contracts specified that the exchange would be done in Renminbi [yuan] and Russian rubles, not in dollars. That was the beginning of an accelerating process of de-dollarization that is underway today," according to strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl.
    Russia and China are now creating a new paradigm for the world economy and paving the way for a global de-dollarization.
    "A Russian-Chinese alternative to the dollar in the form of a gold-backed ruble and gold-backed Renminbi or yuan, could start a snowball exit from the US dollar, and with it, a severe decline in America's ability to use the reserve dollar role to #financeAmericanWars with other peoples' money," Engdahl concludes.
