Nella Grecia arcaica e classica il simposio era un momento importante di incontro tra gli esponenti di uno stesso gruppo sociale e politico: nel bere assieme si rinsaldavano i legami di amicizia e di partito, si componevano liriche o si cantavano i poeti più celebri, si conversava, si scherzava, si amoreggiava. Platone ci descrive un simposio di stampo tradizionale. L'intrattenimento di questa serata sarà costituito da una serie di elogi su Amore-Eros.

Personal Organizing Coach Marin Rose argues that we're all in a toxic relationship with our stuff and that we've got some serious thinking to do before we can expect to make lasting, positive change. In this book, she explores the common emotional barriers to people reducing consumption and ownership, from personal feelings of anxiety, guilt, and regret, to our faith in the omnipresent American illusion that stuff is a direct path to happiness.

To you, the listener of this audiobook, I want to say, this audiobook is not written merely as a history of my travels in Tibet, neither is it meant to be a display of words to reveal the truth, for the truth cannot be revealed in words.

It is meant to open up, to awaken the inner being that is closed up, asleep, to become aware of the powers and possibilities of the real self.

The 15 tractates of the Corpus Hermeticum, along with the Perfect Sermon or Asclepius, are the foundation documents of the Hermetic tradition. Written by unknown authors in Egypt sometime before the end of the third century CE, they were part of a once substantial literature attributed to the mythic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a Hellenistic fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.
