Download or read book Monsters and Angels written by Kevin Hunter and published by Warrior of Light Press. This book was released on 2018-07-22 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every person on the planet is capable of being empathic and sensitive, to becoming an energy vampire or toxic monster. No one is exempt from displaying the darker sides of their ego. The easiest and most efficient way to spread any kind of energy is online. Every time you log onto the Internet, there is a larger chance that you're going to see something related to the news, media, or gossip areas thrown in front of you, even if you attempt to avoid it as much as possible. You're absorbing everything that your consciousness faces, including the ugly and the wicked, which has its own consequences. This tempestuous energy is tossed into the Universe ultimately creating a flame-throwing battleground inside and around you. Monsters and Angels discusses how technology, media, and social media have an immense power in distributing both positive and negative influences far and wide. This is about being mindful of what can negatively affect your state of being, and how to counter and avoid that when and wherever possible. This is why it's beneficial to govern yourself, your life, and your surroundings like a strict disciplined executive. Some of the topics discussed include: Energy vampires, toxic monsters, sensitive angels, and empaths, the technological craze, being sensitive in a technical driven world, connecting through technical means, the insanity of the ego, steering clear of drama, finding balance in the media, technological detox tips, rising above the mundane and into the Divine, climbing beyond superficiality, and centering your inner light. It is inevitable that you will come across difficult personalities that don't align comfortably with yours. Everyone is different from one another even if there are mutual interests and disinterests. The entire planet of people have been thrown together on the same rock and forced to find a way to get along, peacefully, which seems like an unreasonable request seeing as how challenging it is for that to happen. How you navigate demanding circumstances with finesse can determine how difficult or smooth your Earthly life road trip can become. Part of that entails practicing emotional detachment and working on letting what you can go, so you're not carrying around any toxic feelings conjured up as a result of crossing paths with someone that rubs you the wrong way. An energy vampire is someone that governs their life primarily in a negative based state to the point and extent that it affects their well-being and those around them. The types of people that notice this undesirable behavior in others tend to be highly sensitive beings or Empaths. Empaths have extraordinarily empathic sensitive traits in being able to intuit what someone else is going through with minimal effort. Empaths sense every nuance around them to the point that it can drain their energy. Energy vampires symbolically or metaphorically behave like a real vampire and head straight to the empath to figuratively drink their blood. The blood is representative of someone's energy state. The energy vampire grows stronger when in the presence of an empath. The higher advantage for an empath is they are extremely sensitive, which gives them a larger degree of psychic intuition. If they move into the role of displaying energy vampire traits, they are able to intuit when they overstep their boundaries with someone, and can quickly modify their behavior back into the awesome light empath they are most of the time, whereas an authentic energy vampire is perpetually in that negative state around the clock. It is up to the empath to be firm and ferocious about their territory to ensure it is protected from the energy vampire.

Book excerpt: “When you kiss a monster, you turn them into angels. If you’d kiss the Collector, he would turn you into a monster. So… what happens if you would kiss a human?” Her name is Kiss. She travels the world to find monsters to kiss and turn them into angels—for the world has too many monsters and too few angels, she believes; too many shadows and too few stars in the sky. But then she crosses paths with Zane, a young human man, a lost and lonely cello player, who tells her about the Collector—a monster who would turn her into a demon if she’d kiss him. The Collector wants and claims everything that catches his attention. And so, he starts hunting for Kiss. Will she run? Will she stay and fight? Or could Zane, a mere human, save her instead?
Download or read book Monsters Angels written by Rose Wood and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are those eyes looking out from the closet door? Are you really by yourself when you are playing outside? These are common fears that a child will question as they learn more about themselves and the world around them, especially when it comes to monsters in their closets and angels around them. Author Rose Wood brings readers into the circumstances of these questions in her two-story children's book, Monsters and Angels. Both stories show what a child feels when they believe monsters live in their closet or that an angel might be protecting them from danger. Yet Rose goes further into the faith of a child, showing prayer occurring when the main character is frightened but sees the truth behind "seeing is believing." As the child sees more of his/her protection through the grace of God, the child begins to believe even more of a Heavenly Father watching over him/her.

Download or read book God s Monsters written by Esther J. Hamori and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens, jarring in both their strangeness and their propensity for violence--especially on God's behalf. Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light--or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents--they're God's entourage. Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)--these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters--and the God-monster--may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. It's not only richer; the stories of the monsters of the Bible can be as fun, surprising, and interesting as any mythology. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.
Download or read book Angels and Monsters in the House written by Simona Porro and published by Mimesis. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three essays that comprise this volume explore literary representations of the 'True Womanhood' ideology, a narrative through which nineteenth-century women could invest their existence and their role in the world with meaning and purpose. In Victorian America, middle-to-upper-middle-class women were not admitted to centers of public power. Being relegated to the private sphere, i.e., the domestic milieu, they had only one socially respectable function - that of a wife and mother - while the masculine sphere of action was the public one, the realm of business and politics. This rigid role differentiation, which affirmed the social supremacy of men over women, was allegedly sanctioned by God and by nature as well. Being divinely ordained, it would tolerate no refutation: as Barbara Welter perceptively noted, 'If anyone, male or female, dared to tamper with the complex virtues, which made up True Womanhood, he was damned immediately as an enemy of God, of civilization and of the Republic'.

Book excerpt: The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Book excerpt: Reminiscent of the edgy, offbeat humor of Chris Moore and Matt Ruff, the first entry in a whimsical, fast-paced supernatural series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Sandman Slim novels—a dark and humorous story involving a doomsday gizmo, a horde of baddies determined to possess its power, and a clever thief who must steal it back . . . again and again. 22000 B.C.

He smiles because soon, the last of humanity who survived the great flood will meet its end, too. And he should know. He’s going to play a big part in it. Our angel usually doesn’t get to do field work, and if he does well, he’s certain he’ll get a big promotion. And now it’s time . . . . The angel reaches into his pocket for the instrument of humanity’s doom. Must be in the other pocket. Then he frantically begins to pat himself down. Dejected, he realizes he has lost the object. Looking over the Earth at all that could have been, the majestic angel utters a single word. “Crap.” 2015. A thief named Coop—a specialist in purloining magic objects—steals and delivers a small box to the mysterious client who engaged his services. Coop doesn’t know that his latest job could be the end of him—and the rest of the world. Suddenly he finds himself in the company of The Department of Peculiar Science, a fearsome enforcement agency that polices the odd and strange. The box isn’t just a supernatural heirloom with quaint powers, they tell him. It’s a doomsday device. They think . . . And suddenly, everyone is out to get it.
Download or read book Double Agents written by Erin Carlston and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were white bourgeois gay male writers so interested in spies, espionage, and treason in the twentieth century? Erin G. Carlston believes such figures and themes were critical to exploring citizenship and its limits, requirements, and possibilities in the modern Western state. Through close readings of Proust's novels, Auden's poetry, and Kushner's play Angels in America, which all reference real-life espionage cases involving Jews, homosexuals, or Communists, Carlston connects gay men's fascination with spying into larger debates about the making and contestation of social identity. Incorporating readings of nonliterary cultural artifacts, such as trial transcripts, into her analysis, Carlston pinpoints moments when national self-conceptions in France, England, and the United States grew unstable, linking the twentieth-century tensions around citizenship to the social and political concerns of three generations of influential writers. -- Book Jacket.
