Download or read book Cooperating with invisible Beings written by Daniel Perret and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of communications that author Daniel Perret has experienced with nature spirits and other spirit beings. They bring forward the insights, and intelligence of the different beings and show how precise and wide ranging their knowledge and wisdom is - some are recent conversations and some are already published in his previous books. In the coming times humanity can only evolve through respecting all sentient beings and cooperating with them. How can we develop a communication with the invisible realm that enables us to know who is 'on the phone'? In this helpful book Daniel presents many of his own expe-riences and tells us how he built up his communication with nature spirits and spirit beings. He shows how we can learn to ask questions and to distinguish valuable from non-valuable dialogues and partners. He sets out how we can distinguish between our projections and a real communication. The usefulness of any communication with invisible beings depends on how much we really know ourselves and speak from the depth of our heart, from our higher spiritual self? This requires a high degree of sincerity and allows us to distinguish valuable from non-valuable dialogues and partners.
Download or read book Advances in the Sociology of Trust and Cooperation written by Vincent Buskens and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of cooperation is one of the core issues in sociology and social science more in general. The key question is how humans, groups, organizations, institutions, and countries can avoid or overcome the collective good dilemmas that could lead to a Hobbesian "war of all against all". The chapters in this book provide state of the art examples of research on this crucial topic. These include theoretical, laboratory, and field studies on trust and cooperation, thereby approaching the issue in three complementary and synergetic ways. The theoretical work covers articles on trust and control, reputation formation, and paradigmatic articles on the benefits and caveats of abstracting reality into models. The laboratory studies test the implications of different models of trust and reputation, such as the effects of social and institutional embeddedness and the potentially emerging inequalities this may cause. The field studies test these implications in applied settings such as business purchasing and supply, informal care, and different kinds of collaboration networks. This book is exemplary for rigorous social science. The focus is on effects of social conditions, in particular different forms of social and institutional embeddedness, on social outcomes at the macro level. Modelling efforts are applied to connect social conditions to social outcomes through micro-level behavior in ways that are easily overlooked when argumentation is intuitive and impressionistic. The book sets forth a mixed-method approach by applying different empirical methods to test hypotheses about similar questions. Several contributions re-evaluate the theoretical strengths and weaknesses following from the laboratory and field studies. Improving the theory in light of these findings facilitates pushing the boundaries of social science .
Download or read book Faith is the Bridge written by Daniel Perret and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that: "The veil between the worlds is becoming thinner by the day." I had been noticing energy structures in nature and in rooms for many years. Recently I started to feel nature spirits, devas and landscape angels within those energy formations. Then I began to tune into the community angels of villages, towns, nations and groups of people. They explained what we need to do to assist them in bringing down their divine energy of inspiration and healing - and how little use we are sometimes making of it. This third volume of 'The Science of Spiritual Healing' describes my journey into connecting with light beings, angels and these energy fields of wisdom. A chapter is dedicated to the little known background of some of the major illnesses of our time such as Ebola, cancer, depression, autism; another chapter introduces the diagnosis of chakras with the understanding of chakra segments. A long commentary is given about the angels of sacred places and what real transformation requires. This book describes how to bring about co-operation with the divine dimension so badly needed nowadays. It is a book of hope and inspiration, written in collaboration with a Collegium of Spirits.
Download or read book Property Law and Social Morality written by Peter M. Gerhart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Property Law and Social Morality develops a theory of property that highlights the social construction of obligations that individuals owe each other. By viewing property law through the lens of obligations rather than through the lens of rights, the author affirms the existence of important property rights (when no obligation to another exists) and defines the scope of those rights (when an obligation to another does exist). By describing the scope of the decisions that individuals are permitted to make and the requirements of other-regarding decisions, the author develops a single theory to explain the dynamics of private and common property, including exclusion, nuisance, shared decision making, and decision making over time. The development of social recognition norms adds to our understanding of property evolution, and the principle of equal freedom underlying social recognition that limit government interference with property rights.

Download or read book Global Cooperation and the Human Factor in International Relations written by Dirk Messner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to pave the way for a new interdisciplinary approach to global cooperation research. It does so by bringing in disciplines whose insights about human behaviour might provide a crucial yet hitherto neglected foundation for understanding how and under which conditions global cooperation can succeed. As the first profoundly interdisciplinary book dealing with global cooperation, it provides the state of the art on human cooperation in selected disciplines (evolutionary anthropology and biology, decision-sciences, social psychology, complex system sciences), written by leading experts. The book argues that scholars in the field of global governance should know and could learn from what other disciplines tell us about the capabilities and limits of humans to cooperate. This new knowledge will generate food for thought and cause creative disturbances, allowing us a different interpretation of the obstacles to cooperation observed in world politics today. It also offers first accounts of interdisciplinary global cooperation research, for instance by exploring the possibilities and consequences of global we-identities, by describing the basic cooperation mechanism that are valid across disciplines, or by bringing an evolutionary perspective to diplomacy. This book will be of great interest to scholars and postgraduates in International Relations, Global Governance and International Development.
Download or read book Religion Economy and Cooperation written by Ilkka Pyysiäinen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why give money to beggars? Why make sacrifices to help others? The current volume targets such questions with the tools of neoclassical and behavioural economics, philosophy, and sociology of religion. Both religion and economics are analyzed as social institutions that support human intra-group cooperation. Even if individuals are rational maximizers of personal utility, they yet must take into account the reciprocal nature of human relationships. It is better to be part of a cooperative group and make some personal sacrifices because, in the end, everybody benefits from this. Sometimes the metaphor of an invisible hand is used to describe the fact that economic exchange seems to follow some rules that guarantee the best possible result for everyone. In religion, it is of course the hand of God that guides the world. In both cases, individuals are in a way playing against a superior being that always seems to win. In this volume, some of the cognitive mechanisms and cultural selective forces behind this are examined by specialists in different fields of science. The first contributions analyze theoretical and methodological issues; in later chapters, developments in the European history are explored from the perspectives of sociology and economic theory.
Download or read book Solving the Evolutionary Puzzle of Human Cooperation written by Glenn Barenthin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Glenn Barenthin provides a new solution to a key question in the cognitive and evolutionary study of religion: why do humans cooperate? What led humans, uniquely among animals, to have large-scale civilizations with unprecedented cooperation? One explanation, propagated by the Big God Proponents (BGP), argues that a moralizing God is the crucial motivator for the pro-social behaviour necessary for large scale civilization. To explore this idea, Barenthin provides a critical assessment of the evidence provided by the BGP, and also discusses the place of God in our moral thinking. However, using evidence from anthropology, history, cognitive science, psychology and game theory, Barenthin presents a new theory: that the evolutionary pressures faced by our forebears paved the way for emerging humans to engage in what he terms 'thin cooperation'. This type of cooperation requires individuals to comprehend the reasons for their actions, and it is often done with others in mind. Finally, Barenthin argues that humans also have the capacity for 'thick cooperation', which is made possible by those fighting for the rights of strangers in an attempt to make the world a fairer place for a greater number of people.
Download or read book New Developments in the Cognitive Science of Religion written by Hans van Eyghen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely thought that the cognitive science of religion (CSR) may have a bearing on the epistemic status of religious beliefs and on other topics in philosophy of religion. Epistemologists have used theories from CSR to argue both for and against the rationality of religious beliefs, or they have claimed that CSR is neutral vis-à-vis the epistemic status of religious belief. However, since CSR is a rapidly evolving discipline, a great deal of earlier research on the topic has become dated. Furthermore, most of the debate on the epistemic consequences of CSR has not taken into account insights from the philosophy of science, such as explanatory pluralism and explanatory levels. This volume overcomes these deficiencies. This volume brings together new philosophical reflection on CSR. It examines the influence of CSR theories on the epistemic status of religious beliefs; it discusses its impact on philosophy of religion; and it offers new insights for CSR. The book addresses the question of whether or not the plurality of theories in CSR makes epistemic conclusions about religious belief unwarranted. It also explores the impact of CSR on other topics in philosophy of religion like the cognitive consequences of sin and naturalism. Finally, the book investigates what the main theories in CSR aim to explain, and addresses the strengths and weaknesses of CSR.
Download or read book Trusting in Spirit The Challenge written by Dr. Bob Woodward and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book Spirit Guides are invited to communicate to us teachings which they consider relevant and important at this time. However, the author also questions and challenges what the Guides have to say, instead of just acquiescing to their messages. The book is intended to help awaken people to the reality that they each have Spirit Guides who are more than willing to be of help and service to them. However, since they always respect our free will, they depend on us taking the initiative to get to know them. This is precisely the challenge of learning to trust in Spirit and in our own potential abilities. I can honestly say that when I read the manuscript I was amazed at its power to inspire and heal. As you read this book your spirit guide will be close and help you understand the teachings that are relevant to you. Anne Lewis - Spiritual Medium and Healer. You are only limited in your abilities by your own set beliefs and expectations. If your beliefs grow and widen, then so do your abilities to contact beings on all different levels. Philip. The Angel.
Download or read book Hell Is a Very Small Place written by Jean Casella and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unforgettable look at the peculiar horrors and humiliations involved in solitary confinement” from the prisoners who have survived it (New York Review of Books). On any given day, the United States holds more than eighty-thousand people in solitary confinement, a punishment that—beyond fifteen days—has been denounced as a form of cruel and degrading treatment by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. Now, in a book that will add a startling new dimension to the debates around human rights and prison reform, former and current prisoners describe the devastating effects of isolation on their minds and bodies, the solidarity expressed between individuals who live side by side for years without ever meeting one another face to face, the ever-present specters of madness and suicide, and the struggle to maintain hope and humanity. As Chelsea Manning wrote from her own solitary confinement cell, “The personal accounts by prisoners are some of the most disturbing that I have ever read.” These firsthand accounts are supplemented by the writing of noted experts, exploring the psychological, legal, ethical, and political dimensions of solitary confinement. “Do we really think it makes sense to lock so many people alone in tiny cells for twenty-three hours a day, for months, sometimes for years at a time? That is not going to make us safer. That’s not going to make us stronger.” —President Barack Obama “Elegant but harrowing.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A potent cry of anguish from men and women buried way down in the hole.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Hidden Divinity and Religious Belief written by Adam Green and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new essays written by an international team of scholars is a groundbreaking examination of the problem of divine hiddenness, one of the most dynamic areas in current philosophy of religion. Together, the essays constitute a wide-ranging dialogue on the problem. They balance atheistic and theistic standpoints, and they bring to bear not only on the standard philosophical perspectives but also on insights from Jewish, Muslim, and Eastern Orthodox traditions. The apophatic and the mystical are well-represented too. As a result, the volume throws fresh light on this familiar but important topic in the philosophy of religion. In the process, the volume incorporates contemporary work in epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. For all these reasons, this book will be of great interest to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of religion and theology.
