Download or read book Criminal Karma written by Steven M. Thomas and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Criminal Paradise, his gritty, satirical take on the criminal underworld and the society it preys on, Steven M. Thomas earned comparison to such masters as Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen. Now Thomas has devised a new adventure for his charismatic hero, the small-time crook Robert Rivers, who has dreams of making the big score and the brains to pull it off–if only his partner, Reggie, wouldn’t keep getting in the way. Indeed, Rivers is back and the stakes are high: He’s on the trail of a diamond necklace worth a small fortune. The necklace belongs to beautiful Southern California socialite Evelyn Evermore, but Rivers has a foolproof plan to remedy that. Unfortunately, the plan is not Reggie-proof, and when the dust clears, the necklace is gone and the cops are in hot pursuit. But when Rivers learns that Evelyn is mixed up with a Venice Beach spiritual guru known as Baba Raba, the necklace seems to be within reach once more. Only the deeper Rivers digs, the more it appears that Baba Raba is a dangerous fraud intent on the same prize Rivers is pursuing. Worse, Rivers finds himself developing a soft spot for Evelyn, who isn’t the shallow socialite she seems to be. Soon Rivers and Reggie are barreling headlong into the not-so-harmonious heart of a Southern California crime cabal–an adventure full of safecracking, gunslinging, seduction, treachery, family drama, and even a touch of romance. With Criminal Karma, Steven M. Thomas has written a smart and sexy crime thriller that more than meets the promise of his acclaimed debut.

Download or read book Karma and the Rise of Buddhism in the West written by Philip H. Richman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I address the need for a critical treatment of karma for practitioners of Buddhism in the West. I discuss the basic meaning of karma and its relevance to western Buddhism. Emphasis is on the impact of the scientific world-view, interest in meditation and attitudes towards reincarnation. A generalized approach provides analysis and constructive terminology for thinking about karma and reincarnation. Terms such as karmic awareness and karmic significance point to an epistemology of karma. "Karmic analysis" extends the meaning of karma to art, history and literature. Karma is shown to be implicit in all cultures.Topics include the significance of death, the nature of action, sin, salvation and blame. Karmic cause and effect is contrasted with scientific causality. A distinction is drawn between the contemplative life and thinking about karma mainly in terms of a set of propositions to be proven as true or false.

Book excerpt: Karma's Helpers is written for today's world. Have you noticed that sometimes you cross paths with someone you shouldn't mess with? That person could be you. This book skips the usual "forgive and forget" mentality and teaches its readers how to follow a guide intended to expose issues like never before. Are you waiting for Karma to visit someone? It is simplistic but advanced in theory and written by a veteran of exposing the truth. Believe it or not, the second part of this book details the missing secrets of using a BLOG to amplify your investigation results to expose your concerns to the world. This book provides the most up-to-date resource for 2010, making a blog work to its fullest potential and it guarantees immediate search engine optimization (SEO) for free. Anyone can use these techniques including blogging for success and to get even, no previous experience necessary. So go ahead and forgive, but get back We live in a complicated world where people do bad things to others for no explainable reason. My experience as a sheriff's deputy, white-collar crimes detective, private investigator, personal and corporate intelligence specialist have given me a unique view into the way people treat each other. My own life experiences have given me a unique view on society and some of my really negative experiences have lead me to think, "I wish I could speed up Karma" on a particular person, company or organization. I have met many people in life who have also been wronged for reasons such as: cheating spouse, bad relationship, bad business partners, embezzlement, theft, bad business competitor, sexual deviant, personal enemy, protective parent, etc. While people don't readily admit it, most of us believe or hope for Karma to come around. That is where I come in. I have developed a peculiar playbook that can be used by anyone to evaluate a person in question, perform a detailed analysis of their problems and weaknesses, undertake a plan of action to expose their issues, make their problems evident to them (and everyone else), cause them problems and speed our little friend Karma along. I give a unique perspective because I have used the techniques that I detail in this book many, many times for various reasons. I have had unparalleled results and put some really bad people out of commission. Maybe you are reading this book out of curiosity or you may be one of Karma's Helpers. This book contains actual stories about getting even that are strange and unusual.
Download or read book The Golden Yoke written by Rebecca Redwood French and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Yoke is a remarkable achievement. It is the first elaboration of the legal, cultural, and ideological dimensions of precommunist Tibetan jurisprudence, a unique legal system that maintains its secularism within a thoroughly Buddhist setting. Layer by layer, Rebecca Redwood French reconstructs the daily operation of law in Tibet before the Chinese invasion in 1959. In the Tibetans' own words, French identifies their courts, symbols, and personnel and traces the procedures for petitioning and filing documents. There are stories here from judges, legal conciliators, and lay people about murder, property disputes, and divorce. French shows that Tibetan law is deeply embedded in its Buddhist culture and that the system evolved not from the rules and judgments but from what people actually do and say. In what amounts to a fully developed cosmology, she describes the cultural foundation that informs the system: myths, notions of time and conflux, inner morality, language patterns, rituals, use of space, symbols, and concepts. Based on extensive readings of Tibetan legal documents and codes, interviews with Tibetan scholars, and the reminiscences of Tibetans at home and in exile, this generously illustrated, elegantly written work is a model of outstanding research. French combines the talents of a legal anthropologist with those of a former law practitioner to develop a new field of study that has implications for other judicial systems, including our own.

Book excerpt: Personality development is a vast and complex sphere and there is more to it than meets the eye. That is why people with great talents and expertise in this field write books on the topic. I have, however, observed that many such books only offer generalized solutions for personality development and not many books offer specific or customized solutions, which are different for different individuals, and have been specifically designed to treat specific types of problems. I have written this book in a way that you may specifically identify your problems, and then specifically treat them.

Download or read book Mysterious Travelers written by Zack Kruse and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Ditko (1927–2018) is one of the most important contributors to American comic books. As the cocreator of Spider-Man and sole creator of Doctor Strange, Ditko made an indelible mark on American popular culture. Mysterious Travelers: Steve Ditko and the Search for a New Liberal Identity resets the conversation about his heady and powerful work. Always inward facing, Ditko’s narratives employed superhero and supernatural fantasy in the service of self-examination, and with characters like the Question, Mr. A, and Static, Ditko turned ordinary superhero comics into philosophic treatises. Many of Ditko’s philosophy-driven comics show a clear debt to ideas found in Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. Unfortunately, readers often reduce Ditko’s work to a mouthpiece for Rand’s vision. Mysterious Travelers unsettles this notion. In this book, Zack Kruse argues that Ditko’s philosophy draws on a complicated network of ideas that is best understood as mystic liberalism. Although Ditko is not the originator of mystic liberalism, his comics provide a unique window into how such an ideology operates in popular media. Examining selections of Ditko’s output from 1953 to 1986, Kruse demonstrates how Ditko’s comics provide insight into a unique strand of American thought that has had a lasting impact.
