Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contact modalities are gateways to the paranormal world that have mystified humanity for centuries.Inside, we examine over 70 modalities that people can use to transcend the waking states of reality entering into realms of the magical and mystical. Examples of this would be: UFO contact with non-human intelligences, psychic powers, spirit contact, remote viewing, telepathy, hypnosis, meditation, psychedelics, channeling, and a host of other examples are also used to pierce the veil.Throughout history, we have seen the diversity of these contact modalities. Though we have made efforts to categorize these modalities in the past and see them as a separate phenomenon, the similarities are undeniable and ultimately serve the same purpose.This book also looks at the nature of mind, memory and brain research showing that many reported claims of contact are not imagined. This same research is helping to explain how people explore breaks with waking consciousness. The reader will learn that it is entirely attainable. We are now on the verge of being able to train people to create their own break from physical reality, accessing the many benefits from extended states of consciousness.

Download or read book Modalities of Change written by James Wilkerson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in some cases modernity may dominate 'traditional' forms of expression, in others, the modern is embraced as a welcome source of new ideas that can modify 'tradition' while still keeping it within its own bounds. Maintaining a strong and distinct cultural identity with the help of modernity helps representatives of that identity cope with the modern world more generally. By contrast, assimilation to a dominant culture marked as modern is clearly associated with not only the loss of a distinct identity, but also its specific forms of cultural expression. This book explores the consequences of the interface between modernity and tradition in selected societies in Taiwan, mainland China and Vietnam. The contributors examine how traditions are themselves exploiting modernity in creative ways, in the interests of their own further cultural developments, and to what extent this approach is likely to help a tradition survive.
Download or read book Mobile Communication written by Scott Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobile Communication covers a wide range of topics. These include the replacement of co-present interaction with mediated contact and analysis of mobile-based cohesion and gender. The authors also explore the role of media choice and its effect on the quality as well as quantity of social cohesion. Other topics include mobile communication and communities of interest; and mobile communication, cohesion, and youth.This volume brings together scholars from around the world to consider how mobile communication both builds and destroys our sense of social cohesion. There is no question that uses of technology can lead to increased cohesion within personal communities. For example, this volume includes research on caravan couples in Australia, factory workers in China, young couples in Germany, citizens in Slovenia, and sports clubs in Ireland. It also includes research on drunken calls between university students in the US, calls of international students in Switzerland and communications between immigrant women in Melbourne, Australia.However, the contributors also argue that as social networks become inundated with mobile communication users, these users may become increasingly isolated and social division can ensue.

Download or read book Epistemic Modalities and Evidentiality in Cross Linguistic Perspective written by Zlatka Guentchéva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores phenomena which come under the heading of epistemic modalities and evidentiality in more or less well-known languages (Germanic, Romance, Balto-Slavic, Hungarian, Tibetan, Lakandon and Yucatec Maya, Arwak-Chibchan Kogi and Ika). It reveals cross-linguistic variations in the structuring of these vast fields of enquiry and clearly demonstrates the relevance and interplay of multiple factors involved in the analysis of these two conceptual domains. Although the contributions present diverging descriptive traditions, they are nonetheless within the broad domain of functional-typological linguistics and give access to distinct yet comparable approaches. They all converge around a number of key issues: modal verbs; the relationship between epistemic modality and evidentiality; the relationship of modal notions with some tense and aspect notions; the notions of (inter)subjectivity, commitment and (dis)engagement; the prosodic variation of modal adverbs, the diachronic connections between negation and evidential markers, the connection with mirativity. The volume is of interest to linguists and advanced graduate students working in general and theoretical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, cognition, and typology.
