Asatru Folk Assembly

Asatru is an expression of the native, pre-Christian spirituality of Europe. More specifically, it is the religion by which the Ethnic European Folk have traditionally related to the Divine and to the world around them. From Iceland to Russia, from the frozen north of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the Ethnic European Folk wandered and settled over a span of thousands of years. Today, their descendants are spread around the world. We may refer to ourselves as Americans or English, Germans or Canadians, but behind these labels lurks an older, more essential identity. Our forefathers were Angles and Saxons, Lombards and Heruli, Goths and Vikings – and, as sons and daughters of these peoples, we are united by ties of blood and culture undimmed by the centuries. Asatru is our native religion. It gave our ancestors comfort in millennia past, and it can give us strength and inspiration today. The word “Asatru” comes to us from Old Norse, the tongue of ancient Scandinavia, where it means “those loyal to the Gods.” Since the ancient Scandinavian version of our religion is the best documented, it has given us much of Asatru’s terminology and imagery. The soul of Asatru, however, is not confined to the Scandinavian model but encapsulates the belief of all the Ethnic European Folk. Indeed, Asatru reflects the deeper religiosity common to virtually all the nations of Europe. Learn more at www.runestone.org.

Nikola Tesla, one of history's most remarkable inventors and visionaries, was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, which was then part of the Austrian Empire and is now located in Croatia. He is best known for his pioneering work in electrical engineering and his contributions to the development of alternating current (AC) power systems. Tesla's early education took place in Croatia and Austria, but his real journey began when he moved to the United States in 1884 to work with the renowned inventor and businessman, Thomas Edison. While Edison focused on direct current (DC) power systems, Tesla believed that alternating current would be more efficient and practical for widespread electrical distribution. This disagreement led to the "War of Currents," where Tesla's AC system eventually prevailed as the superior technology for transmitting electricity over long distances. Among Tesla's most significant achievements is the invention of the induction motor, a groundbreaking technology that enabled the practical use of AC power in motors and machines. His AC motor design became the foundation for modern electric power generation and distribution systems, revolutionizing the world and powering the Second Industrial Revolution. Tesla's genius was not confined to electrical engineering alone. He had a vivid imagination and a deep understanding of electromagnetism. Throughout his career, he filed numerous patents and developed a range of innovative devices, including the Tesla coil, which is still used today in various applications, such as radio technology and high-voltage transformers. Beyond his scientific accomplishments, Tesla was an enigmatic figure known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle. He had a photographic memory and a unique ability to visualize and design complex inventions entirely in his mind. Tesla was also fascinated by the concept of wireless communication and envisioned a global wireless communication system, a concept that bears striking similarities to the modern internet and Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, despite his brilliance, Tesla struggled with financial difficulties and often faced challenges in securing support for his ambitious projects. As a result, some of his ideas and inventions remained unrealized or were overshadowed by others who took advantage of his work. In his later years, Tesla's contributions to science and technology were recognized, and he received various accolades and honors. However, he spent his final years in relative obscurity and poverty. Nikola Tesla passed away on January 7, 1943, in New York City, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire scientists, engineers, and inventors to this day. His ideas and inventions have shaped the modern world and remain a testament to the power of human ingenuity and curiosity.

Kort om Vinnarskolan: Syftet med Vinnarskolan är att ge folk de verktyg som behövs för att kunna bli sina bästa versioner, något som inte är helt lätt i dagens värld där störningsmomenten och de kortsiktiga belöningarna är fler än någonsin. Alexander menar dock att det är fullt möjligt att övervinna dessa hinder som står i vägen för ett framgångsrikt liv och att vägen dit går genom att bit för bit ändra sina vanor. Det är det som alla former av personlig utveckling bygger på. Vinnarskolans vision är därför att ge folk utomordentliga verktyg till självförbättring så att de med tiden kan formas till de bättre människor som bygger morgondagens samhälle. För varje samhälle är en spegelbild av alla de människor som utgör det och vill vi ha ett bättre och livskraftigare samhälle så måste individerna som utgör det bli bättre människor. Besök därför gärna hemsidan ”vinnarskolan.se” där jag löpande kommer att lägga ut poddar, filmer och artiklar som berör det mesta inom personlig utveckling. Helt gratis dessutom!
