REVIEW:
This monograph, in translation from the German with a more current last chapter, proceeds from assumption (""A man is a human being who works for women"") to misstatement (""only thirteen percent of American coeds get their university degrees"") without batting a false eyelash which is part of her applique. She also wears false bottoms ""only in America"" a strange fruit of the loom we find difficult to visualize. The gravamen of the argument here is that ""women hardly ever work"" (""in the U.S.A. . . . the number of working women has constantly decreased over the last decades"") and hardly ever need to think. In fact they just exist -- ""divine by right of stupidity"" . . . using various techniques of avoidance or self-abasement. . . having children to justify their ""laziness"" . . . using sex or chastity as a means of what used to be called having her way. . . etcetera ad foolish by divine right etcetera. The referrals are mostly U.S. pop, Nancy Sinatra or Playboy, except for some of those unidentified ectoplasmic statistics and the author's tone is serious, although most of this is so patently absurd that you suspect you may have been manipulated by a hoax. If not, Cherchez la femme with a false bottom -- like a good man she should be hard to find. Or read Midge Decter.

REBOBS: THE FLYING MONKEYS OF NAPA VALLEY

Rebobs are creatures of which little is known, and conflicting accounts have been given of them. A small town in Napa Valley was once home to the Patrick family. Patrick Road, which is named for them, is supposedly the home of the mysterious Rebobs. Rumors of the Rebobs have been spread for decades, though there is no real consensus on the characteristics of the creatures. VARYING DESCRIPTION: The one feature of the Rebobs most people appear to agree on - though not everyone agrees on - is that they are monkey-like in appearance. But from there, accounts can vary wildly. One legend says that they are half-monkey, half-robot, and have wings. Another tells of a scientist combining monkeys and humans, which resulted in the Rebobs. Yet another version says they are a part bat. And still, another adds that the Rebobs have long fangs and claws in addition to wings. One account described the Rebobs as being covered in branches and looking like walking plants, which is, of course, a co...

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc...

MEDITATION

AUTHOR: By Aleister Crowley YEAR PUBLISHED: Published August 24th, 2015 PAGE COUNT: Kindle Edition, 46 pages ASIN: B014G6D5DW REVIEW: Based on instruction from Liber ABA, Book 4, widely considered to be the magnum opus of 20th-century occultist Aleister Crowley. The most concise introduction to yogic meditation I've encountered, and in typical Crowley form, one of the least compromising. Traditional yet non-mystical, specific in its description of the progressively objective states of consciousness and the steps taken to attain them, it is evident that he is presenting what he has personally verified by experience.
