There are lists of humanities (philosophy, religion, history, literature, and art) related books and lists of disaster supplies as well as lists of food and music. This books of lists was put together to help prepare people for the future, which will likely go in one of 2 directions, or a combination of the 2: we might lose most our technology and social structures because of our overwhelming number of major problems we face in the modern world and revert back to a civilization more like the 19th, the 13th, or even the 5th century AD; or we might find a new source of energy that will propel us into a future more like Star Trek or other Sci Fi movies than like the 20th century. Either way it is likely the study of the humanities will fade as people see technology as the solution to our problems and destroy and be out of touch with the natural world, or that we are so focused on survival that we don't have time to read or even have access to books like we do today. In between scenarios include many disasters and some very advanced technologies mixed with some very traditional ones. These lists will help provide a guide to the resources to make the best of the future, no matter what that entails. This book plus many more books and much more content is available for free download at my website at  '''www.benjamin-newton.com''' = Recommended Media Short List = "I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind." --Rabindranath Tagore == Criteria for Inclusion == # If you see a book that you think should be on the list but is not, likely I have already read it and didn't include it because it was too hard for others to read or it was poorly written including being too repetitive or not being clear and concise. # I have also particularly focused on Asian and classical texts, and have especially tried to limit the Greek, Roman, white American and English writing to as few works as possible, because I think those areas are over read and I have little interest in them after having to read so many of them in high school. # Most of the works I have included I agree with or at least partly agree with and believe can be useful for personal growth except for most the books or the topics contained in "Establishment History" categories which I believe are only worthwhile for understanding history. # I also have usually only included one book by each author and not necessarily the most famous, but rather the most useful one. # Another consideration is the cost and availability of the works. For works that are difficult to find or expensive to buy, I have generally stayed away from. # I generally avoid female writers as most of them I cannot understand. # This is also a great list for Christians who want to study world religions and philosophies without studying the occult. # The Qu'ran (Koran) is not listed as it must be read in Arabic. == Order of Reading for the Most Fundamental Texts == When I studied about Buddhism it took me a very long time, because I read the most difficult to understand of the most important Buddhist Sutras (the Lotus Sutra) first and read in reverse of the order that makes the most sense. I also have realized that recommending over 250 books is too much for most people (even those very serious and ambitious about studying the major world belief systems). The following list is a recommended order, to read the most important Asian-focused texts about the major world belief systems. This is definitely not the order of most importance, but rather the best for understanding the relationships between and evolution of the various major belief systems. If you want to study the different Asian philosophies and religions, I recommend studying Hinduism before Buddhism and Confucianism before Taoism and also to study Legalism, Neo-Confucianism, Jainism, and the Sikh faith as well to get a more complete picture. I would recommend ideally reading the following, in the following order: === Background Information === It would be good to read up on the history of China and India and any scholarly summary of the history and beliefs of the various Hindu and Buddhist branches you can find. ==== Europe ==== # ''The Ruin of the Roman Empire: A New History'' by James J. O'donnell # ''Sailing from Byzantium: How a Lost Empire Shaped the World'' by Colin Wells ==== Middle East ==== # ''The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia--and How It Died'' by Philip Jenkins # ''After the Prophet: The Epic Story of the Shia-Sunni Split in Islam'' by Lesley Hazleton ==== India ==== # ''India'' by Stanley Wolpert # ''The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Buddhism'' by Peter Connolly Varley, Stefania Travagnin Helen # ''The Indianized States of Southeast Asia'' by George Coedes ==== Other Asian ==== # ''The Chinese Mind: Understanding Traditional Chinese Beliefs and their Influence on Contemporary Culture'' by Boye Lafayette De Mente # ''Eurasian Crossroads: A History of Xinjiang'' by James Millward === Asian Christian, Islamic, and Sikh Faiths === ==== Christian ==== # Saying of the Desert Fathers # ''Philokalia'' ==== Islamic ==== # ''Deliverance from Error'' # Hafiz ==== Sikh ==== # Meera # Kabir # Guru Nanak === Indian (Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainist) Religion and Philosophy === ==== Hindu ==== # ''Upanishads'' # ''Baghavad Gita'' # ''Mahabharata'' # ''Ramayana'' ==== Theravada Buddhist ==== # Pali Canon # ''Dhammapada'' ==== Other Indian ==== # ''Diamond Sutra'' or ''Heart Sutra'' # anything classical you can find on Jainism - I found some medieval short stories === Chinese (Including Buddhist) Philosophy === ==== Original Chinese ==== # ''Analects of Confucius'' # ''Chuang Tzu'' # ''Han Fei Tzu'' ==== Later Chinese/Buddhist Developments ==== # Chu Hsi # Bodhidharma # ''The Sutra of Hui Neng'' ==== Japanese ==== # Dogen # ''Tannisho'' == Recommended Reading == Total of 256 titles, including 206 classics (78 Asian, 61 European and Russian, 27 African, 26 New World, and 14 Bible books). Most of what I have read from about 2000-2010. "But they should always keep theology in mind, and the teachers of the humanities and philosophy should constantly encourage them and fill them with a love for theology." --Ignatius Loyola in "To Father Claude Jay: On the Study of Theology" Try reading some of these in anthologies before you decide which ones you enjoy and are useful.

And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands." --Genesis 41:46-57 == Survive Disasters: What to Prepare For == === What Kind of Disasters === Every survival list will be different because they are designed for different disasters. You cannot make a kit to survive all possible disasters. Look at your national or international television or Internet news over the past several years and you will see many of the following in the headlines. Study your local history and past disasters that have happened where you live and work. Study what life was like before electricity and modern plumbing came to your area. I have focused on the Willamette Valley (in Oregon), so in your preparations you must factor in the variables mentioned below. === Regional Factors === * geography * weather * wind patterns * soil type * access to drinkable water * population density * distance from military installations * amount of land you own * crime level * population diversity * local politics * gun laws === Survival Items Most Affected by Regional Factors === * water storage * amount of food on hand * seeds * clothing * personal protection/self defense * nuclear radiation protection (applies the same to most US areas except for the area of the Oregon I live in, due to spread of possible targets and wind patterns) === Examples of Major Disasters === vary depend on your location but include: * biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological terrorism or foreign country attack;  * disease outbreaks including avian flue;  * water born severe storms which are called either: hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, cyclonic storms, tropical depressions, or cyclones;  * earthquakes and volcanic eruptions;  * global famine; * global climate change/global warming with sea level rises affecting most of the population which lives near the sea; * running out of natural resources like drinkable water, fertile soil, or oil (which is the basis of modern civilization); * space based threats including asteroid or comet impacts, cosmic radiation, pole shift;  * economic problems like worldwide depressions, hyperinflation;  * major communications infrastructure breakdown like entire grid power outages or major satellite failure === More Common and Personal or Local Disasters === ==== primarily need financial/related preparation: ==== * loss of job or incomes, * loss of retirement or investments, * loss of transportation, * death of family member, * diagnosis of serious/chronic illness, * house or building fire, ==== primarily natural/related disasters: ==== * local power outage, * local flooding,  * roads blocked due to winter weather, * unusually high or low temperatures, * getting lost in the wild, ==== primarily social/related problems ==== * riots for various reasons, * getting kidnapped or burglarized, * going into the wrong neighborhood, * stuck in airports or overseas, ==== primarily medical/related problems ==== * exposure to toxic chemicals, * getting severely injured due to an accident while alone === Survival Items Most Affected by Disaster Scenario === * location of gear (on person, car, suitcase/backpack, current residence, doomstead) * skills to learn * amount of land to own * amount of cash on hand * fuel * electrical power supplies (batteries, generators, solar panels) * amount of food on hand * personal protection/self defense == Survive Disasters: Answering Objections == === Disaster Preparation is a Kind of Insurance === Some people think to prepare for disasters leads to desiring they come true so you are proved right. But most people who prepare do so for the same reasons people buy different kinds of insurance. People buy life insurance, still hoping they will live, medical insurance, still hoping not to get sick, and car and house insurance still hoping to not to lose their possessions. === The Government Will Not Save You === Some people are willing to rely solely on the government to protect and provide for them in case of disasters. Based on my understanding of how the military operates from my own Army enlistment, based on what happened in reports of survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and hearing disaster plans from the local FEMA office, do not expect the government will help you at all and definitely not until 72 hours have passed at the very least. In most situations when the power goes down (including water and sewer) for a few days, and food is not delivered for a couple days, riots will break out and the response from the police will be to contain you, not to offer you help. If you have to go to a relief center, be prepared for your personal belongings to be stolen, you will not be able to carry anything for personal protection, even kitchen or swiss army knives which you will never get back, and expect to encounter violence from people who may or may not be part of the government. === Prepare Ahead of Time === If you are planning to wait until the last minute, most people will be doing the same and realize that when the trucks stop coming, there is only enough food for everyone stored in local stores to provide for people for 3 days. Within hours of the disaster, everything in every store that could possibly be of use to you will be totally gone. This happens all the time in hurricane country even when people know it is that season and they have been hit in the past, they still wait until the last minute. Do not count on having access to any sort of power and expect that you will not be able to use credit cards or toilets. Keep cash on hand in addition to your supplies and keep low denominations because local vendors will likely not be able to give change and instead round off items for sale to the nearest dollar. === God Wants You to Be Prepared === Some people also believe that to have faith in God means that they should depend on miracles to survive, but the Bible teaches in Genesis with the living example of the patriarch Joseph, as a leader under the Pharaoh in Egypt, that we should save a little extra each year for the lean years. === Preparation will Vary According to Your Situation === Preparing will involve different things for different people. Some want to live off grid and live off the land with no power. Others will merely have a a few weeks supply of food on hand. There is no one list because everyone's situation is different. == Survive Disasters: Survival Kits == === Bug Out Gear === This survival kit, called a Bug Out Bag, is designed for survival for several days and contains everything necessary to get you to your permanent retreat, a place in a rural area where you intend on spending a long emergency situation with your family or group of friends, like a farm or ranch. This should be able to be carried by you on foot, as you have to assume that you will not be able to get gas for your car at the time of the disaster. === Doomstead === A doomstead is your permanent retreat. You want to have a piece of land that one member of your group owns, preferably with a number of acres of land in which to weather out a major disaster. You want to be able to get plenty of fresh water, have good soil, mild weather, a homogeneous population, and have low population density. === What to Stock up On === Save as many open pollinated seeds, plastic sheeting/containers, metal tools, soap, warm clothing, fresh water as possible as these are not easy to come by in disaster situations. The following items are relatively inexpensive now but are worth more than gold in times of disaster. Seeds are the most important thing to save, because they will provide you food in the future, but the seeds that are in your local stores, although cheaper, are hybrids and you cannot grow plants from the seeds of hybrid plants for the following years. You can find open pollinated seeds online. Plastic sheeting is useful for many things especially waterproofing and sealing rooms from nuclear/chemical/biological contamination, plastic containers can be used to store food and water. Plastic is not easy to produce without modern technology. Metal tools are very hard to make without access to lots of energy and/or advanced machinery that is hard to get, expensive, and too heavy to carry. Soap is essential to staying healthy and can be made fairly easily, but is very toxic and dangerous to make. Warm clothing is important because even if you have mild weather, the climate throughout the world may change quickly and there will be more extreme storms because of global warming. Fresh water is essential for life and is not always easy to collect from rainwater, in the midst of a disaster, especially if it happens in a dry area or during the summer. === Learn Valuable Skills === The key to survival is to have the know how to be a useful member of society, where you can provide a critical service, that is in high demand. You need to plan on not having access to power. Farming would be the best skill as we would need 50 million farmers to feed America without access to modern, oil-based technologies. You can get books on self defense, medicine, plant identification, water storage, gardening, butchering, preserving food, cooking, tanning leather, leather working, sewing, carpentry, paper making, brewing beer, and blacksmithing through Amazon.com and at your local bookstore. === Resilience === Don't put all your resources into any one thing. Spend some on disaster supplies, save some in cash on hand, save some money in the bank, pay off debts, and lower monthly expenses by canceling unnecessary services. = Survival Gear Complete Inventory

This following list tells you specifically what to do, instead of what not to. This list is based on the book, ''Deep Survival'', which is based on the idea that some people with all the correct equipment give up and die while some people who are ill prepared succeed. The list is basically about how not to panic. trust your gut feelings before taking on situations you think may lead to risk == CONCENTRATE ON ATTITUDE FIRST == * pray for focus * turn fear into focus, strength for action * pay attention to details * focus on the hear and now == START TAKING ACTION == * be bold but also cautious * believe anything is possible * expect things to be different this time == GO SLOW AND REST == * go slow - allow things to take 8 times longer than expected * remember to rest - only go at 60% your normal speed * long term memories can help you rest == MORE SPECIFIC == * give yourself small tasks * develop a routine * try to help others * do anything necessary to survive == KEEP GOING == * do not second guess yourself or think about why the risky situation occurred * let other family members motivate you * balance privacy and community * use humor and awe of the power of nature
