The Light of Pure Knowing: Thirty Meditations on the Essence of Non-Duality, by Rupert Spira

The Light of Pure Knowing: Thirty Meditations on the Essence of Non-Duality is a box set that includes: six mp3 CDs with 18 hours of audio; a 248 page paperback book of transcriptions of the spoken meditations; and a slipcase. The guided meditations in The Light of Pure Knowing were transcribed, catalogued and selected from hundreds that Rupert Spira gave over a period of three years, from 2011 to 2013. They are a deeply contemplative and profound exploration of the non-dual nature of our experience, and have the power to take the listener or reader back to the source from which they arise. You will not encounter philosophy here, but a journey into the most essential and ever-present nature of our experience - pure Knowing, the truth of our own Being - free from the thoughts and feelings that the mind superimposes upon it. Those familiar with traditional teachings will recognise both the Vedantic approach, which, through reason and discrimination, separates out the eternal reality of all experience from its changing appearances, and also the Tantric approach, in which the entire realm of experience is known and felt to be shining with the light of pure Knowing. However, no previous philosophical, religious or spiritual orientation is required for these contemplations, for they offer a contemporary, original and highly experiential approach to the essential nature of all experience, free from all traditional religious or spiritual dogma. 'The reader of these words may be reassured because Life has placed in their hands, in the form of this book, the golden thread that will enable them to trace their way back to the source of intelligence, love and beauty in themselves.' Francis Lucille, Author of Eternity Now, The Perfume of Silence and Truth Love Beauty

This is doing the job for me.
By tjansen
I have used Amazon for many years and I have never written a review. I am just starting to listen to Meditation 15 of 30 in The Light of Pure Knowing, and I am compelled to write an interim five-star review. I have already bought two additional sets for friends and plan to buy more for friends and relatives.

This is what I have been looking for. A thorough guide to understanding this mystery of the (non)-structure of reality and how to possibly experience awakening into it. I am seventy years old and just recently realized that I might be able to discover my enlightenment in this lifetime (my wording is probably not correct).

After reading several books on the subject, this looks like the best shot at it for me. I have to add that The Most Direct Path to Eternal Bliss awakened in me the desire of pursuing enlightenment, and I still use that book as a background of my path. But Rupert Spira, by means of guided exercises, is walking me through the experiences of discovering the non-dual truth that, according to the awakened ones, has always been here.

Maybe I will update after listening to the remaining Meditations.

Thank you Rupert.

By the way, I live in Thailand and had to go to Sahaja Publications to get my set, since Amazon doesn't ship this product to Thailand.

Infinite stars HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
By Samyama
Wow, just wow. I echo what others have said & recommend this set whole heartedly. I've recently been "obsessed" with Nisargadatta (known for his book "I AM THAT" among others). However, I found that I longed to hear his words, rather than read them on a page. Reading seems to engage my linear mind more than I like. (I have many of Nisargadatta's books, as well as those of his predecessors & successors.) I did make audio tracks of some of Nisargadatta's works in my own voice, however this was time consuming, & effortful. Nisargadatta fueled my desire to dissolve my imaginary separate self & at the same time raised subtle questions within me. Enter Rupert Spira--master of addressing subtle questions with grace. I discovered Rupert's teachings on amazon. I've literally been listening to him nearly round the clock since (schedule permitting). This is effortlessly helping me internalize & crystallize a direct experience of non-duality. Thank you Rupert! You are a blessing & a treasure. I followed the suggestion of one reviewer & went to youtube to familiarize myself with Rupert's work. I was hooked from the first video. I've listened to (& bookmarked) dozens of his audio clips since then. I also downloaded a track called "Journey into Presence" on iTunes for $1.99 which I HIGHLY recommend. I continue to listen to it over & over again & it always helps dissipate/dissolve the imaginary separate self & bring waves of love & relief. Rupert & his teachings are an IMMENSE GIFT. The day I received these CD's I listened to the first one (3 hours) that night. Then I highlighted the words that helped me see things in a new way in the book which is included. Then I listened to "Journey into Presence" again & again. Then I listened to more of his youtube videos. (I highly recommend these. Current favorites include "Being aware of being aware," "Why are you so afraid of fear?" & "Don't discipline the attention" among many others). Do yourself a favor & check out his work. His message is saturating my cells, as I said, with waves of relief. I'm very thankful for the transformation he has catalyzed inside & out. I appreciate the feeling of holding his hand as I go deeper & deeper within. I suspect fear was a significant barrier for me & Rupert handles it with absolute grace. Going deeper within has also helped me bring/invite/integrate the Self into my outer life. What a miracle! The one side effect I notice is that the more I listen to his meditations, the more physical activity--yoga, running, walking, movement etc.--I require to "ground" the new insights. (Right now I'm waiting for the sun to come up so I can go for a run followed by yoga.) I've cognitively known that imperturbable peace exists. Rupert consistently helps me to find it inside. :-) That's no small gift. Thank you Rupert & all those who made these CD's & prolific audio clips available. I recommend his teachings highly to those with ears that can hear. Sincere gratitude & very best wishes!

Update: It's been just over a week & I continue to listen to these meditations often. Interestingly, Meditation #12 really struck a chord. I find myself listening to it over & over again. I must really need its message--it's essential. It reframed something huge for me--the difference between letting go mentally & letting go physically. I've studied & practiced numerous forms of bodywork over the years, however something about this particular meditation really clicked. I'm thirsty for its message all the time. I did venture forward at one point to Meditation #14. (I agree that it's helpful to listen to these order.) However, I still often return to Meditation #12. I suspect that #14 will be the next one I listen to repeatedly. I'm thrilled to listen with new ears each time. Enjoy!

2nd Update: #20 Every Breath Belongs to the Universe--sooooo good! The message is always fresh. Listen, dissolve, repeat :-) I am thankful every day for these!

3rd Update: I continue to be compelled by Meditation #20 (Every Breath Belongs to the Universe). I find myself listening to it at least 1-2 times a day, usually first thing in the morning & last thing at night. Its messages creates a profound shift in me & is immensely enjoyable. I suspect I've listened to it hundreds of times. (I sometimes listen to it on loop overnight and/or multiple times during the day, commuting etc.). I'm not yet even slightly compelled to move ahead to the next one. Yes, Rupert transmits "The Light of Pure Knowing." I've experienced flashes or glimpses of it over the years & this is like spotting the full-out dawn over the horizon. Moreover, I find myself applying it throughout the day. For example, during yoga, I notice that it's the Universe 'doing' the yoga & then asanas instantly deepen. I said to a friend, "Wouldn’t it be amazing to slip into the state of non-duality with eyes open while encountering the world [not just in close-eyed meditation]?" Rupert is lighting the way. Lately I like to augment Rupert's #20 with two of his free youtube videos: "Why are you so afraid of the fear?" & "why am I here?" I didn't realize that words (combined with tone, cadence, awareness, stillness) could be *so* transportive (& I love words... but not as much as going beyond them!) THANKS RUPERT & best wishes to all!

Update (July 2017): I cherish these meditations. Rupert's ability to convey/transmit insights is unparalleled (in my experience), & he's one of my most trusted teachers. Rupert has the ability to reach students at multiple levels (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual as well as at different levels of understanding)--right where we're at with the gleam of light right where it's needed most. The reason I decided to post this update is that as a student of spirituality for over 3 decades, my path has included a fair amount of the "spiritual buffet line" (i.e., dozens of different teachers/paths/disciplines). Although that was the path that I needed, I've also strongly desired a clearer more straightforward trajectory. Listening to Rupert's meditation #24 this morning helped me realize that what I've been seeking is here--& now I can realize & appreciate it. I tend to listen to Rupert's meditations over & over. They go deep deep deep. THANK YOU RUPERT! Dozens of teachings over the years have now distilled themselves into 2--Rupert's teachings & one other complementary path. Something's shifted. The title "The Light of Pure Knowing" says it all. Sincere gratitude & very best wishes.

Nothing to compare this to...
By Scott Walker
Like many other people who’ve been pursuing an understanding of Advaita or Non-duality, I’ve collected a wide range of videos and books on the subject. Out of all the information I own, this collection of 30 meditations and contemplation's have taken me deeper into a comprehensive understanding of Self, than all the other information combined. The main difference being that it’s been fully experiential. I wouldn’t have believed it possible, if I hadn’t experienced it myself.

This isn’t to say for a minute that the writings of other gifted and self aware writers didn’t contribute greatly to my overall understanding, just that the way Rupert has set up these meditation/contemplation's, and the fact that each one allows you to truly Experience what he’s saying, makes all the difference in the world.

As you listen to Rupert speak, you actually experience what he’s talking about. Each section takes you deeper into what slowly becomes a profound awakening. There isn’t anything I can think of that would compare to what can be found here, if you’re ready.

Just a word of advice. Resist the urge to skip or jump around through the meditations. Do all of them and do them in the order they are provided. They build on each other like a beautiful poem or orchestral movement. Lastly, don’t be put off by the word meditation. These don't require much more effort than just closing your eyes and listening to them.

For decades, 5S practitioners have struggled with exactly how to implement and sustain a 5S program in their workplaces.

Review

"5S Made Easy is a simple, easy-to-follow guide for 5S in manufacturing. It nicely explains how 5S has a greater purpose than simple housekeeping. It is about standardizing and improving―often overlooked points in a 5S deployment."
―Drew Locher, Change Management Associates;�Shingo Prize-Winning Author of Lean Office and Service Simplified and Value Stream Mapping for Lean Development

"Hurray to Dave Visco for 5S Made Easy. When I ask customers ‘How much time do you spend each day searching for material, information or tools?’ the typical response is ‘about an hour.’ Regardless of the venue – office, healthcare or factory – the answer is almost always the same. A workplace that is not well organized generates an incredible amount of confusion, frustration, and delay every day! But every so often, I encounter a facility where employees declare proudly, ‘We never search for anything.’ These are workplaces transformed by 5S, where employees and managers make workplace organization a regular part of their work and their continuous improvement. The stability created through an effective 5S process is critical to every other best practice, from set-reduction and TPM to kanban and standardized work. Dave’s book offers a step-by-step primer for any change leader who wants to get this foundational improvement method right the first time.
―Bruce Hamilton, President, GBMP

"5S has become one of the most popular improvement activities in factories, offices, and small shops across America. 5S is straightforward and effective in improving any operation. Despite its popularity, there are only a handful of books that explain how to do 5S. Veteran 5S coach and consultant, David Visco, has stepped in to help fill that gap with his ‘how-to’ workbook, 5S Made Easy. Anyone can begin a 5S program in their department or business by following this book’s easy-to-understand steps. In addition, Visco has provided checklists, forms, and resource guides. Almost everything you need is right here."
―From the Foreword by Mike McCarthy, Lean Consultant and Author of Sustain Your Gains: The People Side of Lean-Six Sigma

FedEx Freight's bungled $780 million acquisition of the assets of Watkins Motor Lines as related by Steven H. Newhouse, a company officer who lived through it, is a unique case study on leadership that chronicles the calamitous demise of the company that became FedEx National LTL. This narrative provides many pertinent examples of and valuable insights into leadership and relevant perspectives on the importance of valuing workplace cultures. Newhouse shares a poignant story of how not to lead in juxtaposition to the insights of a successful leader who understands the importance of valuing workplace cultures. What happened to the Watkins Motor Lines workforce once it became FedEx National LTL should never have happened, but it did due to a combination of inadequate leadership and a bad economy. This is the story of how a journey down a highway that began with high hopes and aspirations became littered with broken promises, countless disappointments and a final disastrous end: the demise of a 74-year-old highly successful and profitable nationwide trucking company that employed 10,000 employees and had over $1 billion in revenue the year it was acquired by FedEx. Steve Newhouse is a retired vice president and managing director of Human Resources from FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight Corporation. After obtaining his BBA and MBA from Western Michigan University, he spent 43 years in Human Resources management with seven different corporations after serving as an Adjutant and Personnel Officer for an Air Defense Artillery Battalion in the US Army. He spent 24 of those years as a vice president of Human Resources at four different corporations.

Investor? Employee? Leader? You Need to Read This!
By Chris Nealis
If you’re an investor and you ever wondered why a supposedly “excellent acquisition” failed, you should read this book. It may give you some insight as to why and you’ll be incensed. If you are someone who’s ever been negatively affected by an acquisition or merger, this book lets you know some members of senior management grieved right along with you and you’ll be somewhat consoled. If you are, or aspire to be, an effective leader, you’ll either be motivated or warned. You can learn a great deal from this true story account of just how successful good leadership can be, and how miserably, and quickly, poor leadership can fail.

Steve Newhouse shares a brief and factual account of the successful, 75-year rise of a family-owned business into a billion-dollar, national company. Through specific examples and insightful quotes in this case-study format, he describes how positive leadership qualities and actions engender respect, loyalty, responsibility, hard work and can-do attitudes, resulting in success for owners, management and employees alike.

In an equally factual account, Newhouse then describes how all of these positive outcomes can be undermined and destroyed by an acquisition characterized by a lack of planning, poor communication, silo-based bias and, in this writer’s opinion, self-serving arrogance. When coupled with a declining economy, these poor leadership qualities resulted in a sad, costly and unnecessary failure for investors, the corporation, and employees.

A new level of helpful candor
By Alexander D. Lucia
Steve Newhouse has an unsurpassed passion and courage to tell what really happened when these two well known organizations combined their most important asset...their people . Even though the facts are related in a "no holds barred" kind of way the tone is not mean spirited.
You won't find many books this candid so be glad you found this one!

A telling report of a view from the inside
By Zeb E. Barnhardt Jr.
Oh, no! Another book about leadership, you say. What’s next? Well, this book should be “next” on your reading list!

You will not find chapters neatly categorized on typical leadership topics that will bore you to tears. The author is not searching for another way to help you invent the wheel. What you will find is a passionate personal account of the often troubling experience of a leader in HR as the company he helped manage went through unexplained, unanticipated, and seemingly unplanned transitions resulting from its acquisition by a major corporation that should have known better.

Some will read the book because they know the author or because they shared his experiences. Some will read the book because they are curious as to what he has to say. Some may read it because of the unusual title. I believe that all who read it will find it worthwhile to do so.

Steve Newhouse is an HR professional. He has his eyes on people, observing them for who they are as opposed to what they do, or may think they do. He has his ears attuned to what people around him say, and he listens. Now, he puts his pen to paper to share his observations of and experiences with questionable leadership. The book leaves the reader with the unanswered question of how different the impact of the merger on the lives of many employees might have been if stronger and more disciplined leadership had been present. The real tragedy is what did happen. Readers can learn from that.

Excerpt. � Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
About this book

The aim of this book is to take you through the process of object-oriented (OO) analysis and design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Unified Process (UP).

UML provides the visual modeling language for OO modeling, and UP provides the software engineering process framework that tells you how to perform OO analysis and design.

There is a lot to UP, and in this book we present only those aspects directly pertinent to the work of the OO analyst/designer. For details on the other aspects of UP, you should refer to Rumbaugh 1 and the other UP books in the bibliography.

In this book we show you enough UML and associated analysis and design techniques so that you can apply modeling effectively on a real project. According to Stephen J Mellor Mellor 1, there are three approaches to UML modeling.

  • UML as a sketch - this is an informal approach to UML where diagrams are sketched out to help visualize a software system. It's a bit like sketching an idea for something on the back of a napkin. The sketches have little value beyond their initial use, are not maintained, and are finally discarded. You typically use whiteboards or drawing tools such as Visio and PowerPoint (www.microsoft.com) to create the informal sketches.
  • UML as a blueprint - this is a more formal and precise approach whereby UML is used to specify a software system in detail. This is like a set of architect's plans or a blueprint for a machine. The UML model is actively maintained and becomes an important deliverable of the project. This approach demands the use of a real modeling tool such as Rational Rose (www.rational.com) or MagicDraw UML (www.magicdraw.com).
  • UML as executable - using Model Driven Architecture (MDA), UML models may be used as a programming language. You add enough detail to UML models so that the system can be compiled from the model. This is the most formal and precise use of UML, and, in our view, it is the future of software development. In this approach, you need an MDA-enabled UML tool such as ArcStyler (www.arcstyler.com). MDA is beyond the scope of this book, although we discuss it briefly in Section 1.4.

Our focus in this book is on UML as a blueprint. The techniques you learn will also apply to using UML as an executable. Having learned UML as a blueprint, you will naturally be able to use UML as a sketch should you need to. We have tried to make our presentation of UML and UP as straightforward and accessible as possible.

Conventions

To help you navigate through the book we have provided each chapter with a roadmap in the form of a UML activity diagram. These diagrams indicate reading activities and the order in which sections might be read. We cover activity diagrams in detail in Chapter 14, but Figure 1 should be sufficient to let you understand the roadmaps.

Most of the diagrams in this book are UML diagrams. The annotations, in blue, are not part of UML syntax.

We have provided notes in the margin to highlight important information. We have used the UML note icon for this.

Who should read this book

We can think of several possible readers for this book.

  • You are an analyst/designer who needs to learn how to perform OO analysis and design.
  • You are an analyst/designer who needs to learn how to perform OO analysis and design within the framework of the Unified Process.
  • You are a student taking a UML course at a university.
  • You are a software engineer who needs a UML reference.
  • You are a software engineer taking a UML training course, and this is your course book.

Clear View Training provides a four-day UML training course based on this book. This course is given throughout Europe by our partners, Zuehlke Engineering (www.zuhlke.com), and is available for licensing. If you are an academic institution using this book as your course book, you can use our training course for free. See www.clearviewtraining.com for more on commercial and academic licensing.

How to read this book

So many books, so little time to read them all! With this in mind we have designed this book so that you can read it in several different ways (as well as cover to cover) according to your needs.

Fast track

Choose Fast Track if you just want an overview of the whole book or a particular chapter. This is also the "management summary".

  • Choose a chapter.
  • Read the chapter roadmap so that you know where you're going.
  • Go through the chapter looking at the figures and reading the margin notes.
  • Read the "What we have learned" section.
  • Go back to any section that takes your interest and read it.

Fast Track is a quick and efficient way to read this book. You may be pleasantly surprised at how much you can pick up! Note that Fast Track works best if you can first formulate a clear idea of the information you want to obtain. For example "I want to understand how to do use case modeling."

Reference

If you need to know a particular part of UML or learn a particular technique, we have provided a detailed index and table of contents that should help you locate the information you need quickly and efficiently. The text is carefully cross-referenced to help you to do this.

Revision

There are two strategies for revision with this text.

  • If you need to refresh your knowledge of UML as quickly and efficiently as possible, read the outline summaries of each chapter in the "What we have learned" section. When you don't understand something, go back and read the appropriate section.
  • If you have more time, you can also browse through each chapter studying the diagrams and reading the margin notes.
Dipping

If you have a few minutes to spare, you might pick up the book and open it at random. We have tried to ensure that there is something interesting on every page. Even if you already know UML quite well, you may still discover new things to learn.

a natural union of UML, UP and OO design
By W Boudville
UML has grown. A few years ago, when UML was just getting accepted, a book on how to use it would have been much thinner. But the successful broad uptake of UML led to its semantic notation being expanded. What the authors give us here is a thorough exposition of UML 2.0 and how to use it.

As you might expect, there are numerous examples in UML. Which, to many readers, might be more understandable than a mere abstract diagram. But the book is more than just about explaining the UML semantics. It also goes into the Unified Process for running a project, and how this can be documented in UML. By doing so, the authors hope to better enable an understanding of both.

There is also something else, related to the above, but sufficiently different and important to warrant notice. If you write in any object oriented language, it requires certain skills in designing classes and how they interact. Part 4 of the book concerns these issues, which it discusses under the rubric of "Design". A good explanation of the basic concepts. Like inheritance versus aggregation, or inheritance versus interfaces. Or why the lack of multiple inheritance in a language like C# or Java is not necessarily a deficiency.

A Classic...
By Carlos T. Mock
Mary Renault casts a spell in "The Persian Boy", the pivot of her 2nd installment of her Alexander Great triad. "Fire From Heaven," being the first, and "The Funeral Games," being the third.

The Persian Boy tells the story of Bagoas, who is born into an aristocratic family. In the first few pages Bagoas is subjected to the turmoil resulting from the death of King Ochos. His father, mother, and sisters, are killed and he himself is castrated and sold at the age of 10. Another tragedy follows in time: Bagoas is sold by his master to other men as a prostitute. Procured for King Darius, Bagoas's luck changes only slightly; instead of being sold to many men, he is kept by one man, a King he holds in awe for his station, and not out of personal admiration.

Darius has made the mistake of underestimating the young Macedonian King Alexander, who at 20 undertakes the conquest of Greek cities in Asia Minor. But Alexander closes in on the Persian Empire, and Darius suffers one defeat after another until his own warlords lose faith in him. When a coup sees Darius taken prisoner, Bagoas escapes with only his life. In time, he is rescued by one of those warlords, and as fate has it, he is to beg Alexander for clemency. Bagoas is used to sweeten the deal--as a gift.

Alexander is presented by Renault as a man capable of more than mortal feats who is still reassuringly human--more than that, he needs love desperately, from the hero-worship of the soldiers who follow him to the intimate devotion of his lover Hephaistion. Bagoas has never known love at all, only use. When Macedonian King and Persian courtesan meet, the inevitable happens--and this is where the enchantment begins.

Renault's mastery is impeccable. With a few well-chosen words, she conjures the images of the great Persian palaces--the ruins at Persepolis, Susa, Ekbatana, and Babylon; she recreates the travels of the Macedonian army so well that any reader who picks up her companion book "The Nature of Alexander" will look at the pictures and recognize the structures. Renault is a master characters builder. Bagoas is keenly intelligent, charming, courtly, sarcastic, prey to jealousy and possessiveness when it comes to his lover; his growing maturity merely adds to the pain he experiences as the affair and Alexander's conquests progress. And Alexander is much more accessible here than in "Fire From Heaven," which is a wonderful book but presents Alexander as all light and no fire. Here we get to see Alexander as preening boy, heroic warrior, pragmatic king, and devoted lover. It is a marvelous love story whether or not it actually happened.

The book is narrated from a first person point of view, and it's Bagoas perspective that is used to frame the events that go from Alexander's 20th birthday to his death. A wonderful read.

Quick shipping,good price,good condition. Book is fiction but takes into consideration many true facts about Alexander the Great and really describes the epic of those times.Quite descriptive of the customs of those ancient empires.

Great, Often Moving Novel
By Kevin M. Derby
Mary Renault’s “The Persian Boy” is billed as the second in a trilogy of novels along with “Fire From Heaven” and “Funeral Games” covering the life of Alexander the Great. It actually stands well on its own, relying on a first person narrator instead of a more third-party omnipotent narrator like the other two books in the series. Renault offers a captivating account of Bagoas, the eunuch who served both Darius and Alexander, and presents a strong, often moving, romantic story even as the great conquerer claims the remnants of Persia and marches into India. The loyalty Bagoas gives and receives is moving even as the story marches to its heartbreaking conclusion. There can be some minor quibbles of course (to put it mildly Renault thinks the world of Alexander) but there are many reasons this book stands out as a classic about LGBT and historic novels after almost four decades. A strong novel that works on many levels.

Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, The Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 (Early Modern History Society

This is a study that digs deeply into this 'other' slavery, the bondage of Europeans by North-African Muslims that flourished during the same centuries as the heyday of the trans-Atlantic trade from sub-Saharan Africa to the Americas. Here are explored the actual extent of Barbary Coast slavery, the dynamic relationship between master and slave, and the effects of this slaving on Italy, one of the slave takers' primary targets and victims.

Review

'Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters is about a subject of immense importance, which has been strangely neglected...It is very well researched, and... at a time of unprecedented interest in racial slavery in America, it is interesting to read a crucial and informative preview to that subject.' - David Brion Davis, Yale University

By O.V.R. Hill
if you want to have a better understanding of what is going on in northern Africa today. You may have learned in American history that President Jefferson sent the Marines to the Mediterranean when American shipping was being attacked by the Barbary pirates. I attended public schools and was never taught that whites as well as blacks were taken by Muslims and sold in the slave markets. Well written and a very interesting book.

An Unpopular Eurocentric Reality
By fastidious one
This is an eye-opening account of Barbary Coast slavery, American historians have studied every aspect of enslavement of Africans by "whites" but have largely ignored enslavement of "whites" by North Africans which flourished during approximately the same period as the trans-Atlantic slave trade. What is most striking about Barbary slaving raids is their scale and reach. Pirates took most of their slaves from ships, but they also organized huge, amphibious assaults that practically depopulated parts of the Italian coast. Italy was the most popular target, partly because Sicily is only 125 miles from Tunis, but also because it did not have strong central rulers who could resist invasion. The Barbary Coast extends from Morocco through modern Libya, was home to a thriving man-catching industry from about 1500 to 1800. The great slaving capitals were Sal� in Morocco, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli, and for most of these periods, European naval protection was too weak to put up more than token resistance.

The trans-Atlantic trade in "blacks" was commercial, but for Arabs, memories of the Crusades and fury over expulsion from Spain in 1492 seem to have fueled an almost war-like Christian stealing campaign. For example; when pirates sacked Vieste in southern Italy in 1554, they took an astonishing 6,000 captives. Algerians took 7,000 slaves in the Bay of Naples in 1544, in a raid that drove the price of slaves so low it was said you could "swap a Christian for an onion."

Spain also suffered attacks. After a raid on Granada in 1566 netted 4,000 men, women, and children, it was said to be "raining Christians in Algiers". For every large-scale raid of this kind there would have been dozens of smaller ones. When Muslim corsairs came ashore, they made a point of desecrating churches, stealing church bells --- not just because the metal was valuable but also to silence the distinctive voice of Christianity. During frequent smaller raids, only a few ships would operate by stealth in the middle of the night so to catch people "in their beds". This practice gave rise to the modern-day Sicilian expression, pigliato dai turchi, or "taken by the Turks"... Meaning to be caught by surprise while asleep or distracted.

Some Arab pirates were formidable skilled blue-water sailors, and terrorized Christians up to 1000 miles away. During one account, a raid in the early 1600s occurred all the way to Iceland, netting nearly 400 captives. Throughout the 17th century, Arab pirates operated freely in British waters, even sailing up the Thames estuary to pick off prizes and raid coastal towns. By the mid-1600s the British were running a brisk trans-Atlantic trade in "blacks", but many British crewmen themselves became the property of Arab raiders.

TREATMENT:
"Bastinado" was a term for common punishment once in North Africa. It was tradition to parade newly-captured Christians through the streets, so people could jeer at them, and children could pelt them with refuse. At the slave market, men were made to jump about to prove they were not lame, and buyers often wanted them stripped naked again to see if they were healthy. This was also to evaluate the sexual value of both men and women; "white" concubines had a high value, and all the slave capitals had a flourishing homosexual underground. Buyers who hoped to make a quick profit on a fat ransom examined earlobes for signs of piercing, which was an indication of wealth. It was also common to check a captive's teeth to see if he was likely to survive on a tough slave diet. It is well known that malnutrition, overcrowding, overwork, brutal punishment, and epidemics of epidemics of plague usually wiped out 20 to 30 percent of the "white" slaves. It was also common to shave the heads and beards of public slaves as an added humiliation during a period when head and facial hair were an important part of a man's identity. It was also common to strip men naked, both to examine their clothes for sewn-in valuables and to see if any circumcised Jews were masquerading as gentiles.

REDEMPTION:
It was common to bring the freed "white" slaves home, and march them through city streets in big celebrations. These parades became one of the most characteristic urban spectacles of the period, and had a strong religious orientation. Sometimes the slaves marched in their old slave rags to emphasize the torments they had suffered; sometimes they wore special white costumes to symbolize rebirth. According to contemporary records, many freed slaves were never quite right after their ordeals, especially if they had spent many years in captivity.

So, why is there so little interest in Mediterranean slavery while scholars perpetually focus entirely on "black" slavery? Perhaps, "white" slaves with "non-white" masters simply does not fit the master narrative of European imperialism.

Muslim Contempt for White Christian Slaves
By Loves Movies and Books!
I found this book truly fascinating. If ever we need to understand what is going on today we need to read about the history of the Muslim world. Readers will have a much better understanding of how and why the people in that area and under the Muslim religion think of us the way they do. This should be taught in school and I know it will never be, simply because we need to understand their contempt of Christians and of European/Western Civilizations. This book is an excellent read for anyone. A lot of thorough research, bibliographies, and laid out history of the dark past our politicians and college professors want us to forget. Kudos to R. Davis. I have yet to understand why it is so taboo to talk about slavery especially of whites. The people from the Barbary States had a hunger for white slaves just as some colonists had the same appetite for African slaves. The Muslims were like many other people back then, they made money off slavery. The difference here is the way they treated their slaves.
