Download or read book Demystifying Shamans and Their World written by Adam J. Rock and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shamanism can be described as a group of techniques by which its practitioners enter the “spirit world,” purportedly obtaining information that is used to help and to heal members of their social group. Despite a resurgence of interest in shamanism and shamanic states of consciousness, these phenomena are neither well-defined nor sufficiently understood. This multi-disciplinary study draws on the fields of psychology, philosophy and anthropology with the aim of demystifying shamanism. The authors analyse conflicting perspectives regarding shamanism, the epistemology of shamanic states of consciousness, and the nature of the mental imagery encountered during these states.

Download or read book The Wilderness of Dreams written by Kelly Bulkeley and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1994-02-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study of the religious dimensions of dreams shows how modern dream research supports and enriches our understanding of religiously meaningful dreams. The Wilderness of Dreams does four things that no other work on dreams has done. First, it surveys the whole range of modern dream research—not just the work of depth psychologists and neuroscientists, but also the findings of anthropologists, content analysts, cognitive psychologists, creative artists, and lucid dreaming researchers. Second, it draws upon new advances in hermeneutic philosophy in order to clarify basic questions about how to interpret dreams. Third, it develops a careful, well-grounded notion of religious meaning—the "root metaphor" concept—to show that seeking religious meanings in dreams is not mere superstition. And fourth, the book reflects on the question of why modern Westerners are so interested in affirming, or debunking, the idea that dreams have religious meanings.

Download or read book Demystifying Sustainability written by Haydn Washington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is sustainability? Much has been said about the terms ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable development’ over the last few decades, but they have become buried under academic jargon. This book is one of the first that aims to demystify sustainability so that the layperson can understand the key issues, questions and values involved. Accessible and engaging, the book examines the ‘old’ sustainability of the past and looks to the future, considering how economic, ecological and social sustainability should be defined if we are to solve the entwined environmental, economic and social crises. It considers if meaningful sustainability is the same as a ‘sustainable development’ based on endless growth, examining the difficult but central issues of overpopulation and overconsumption that drive unsustainability. The book also explores the central role played by society’s worldview and ethics, along with humanity’s most dangerous characteristic – denial. Finally, it looks to the future, discussing the ‘appropriate’ technology needed for sustainability, and suggesting nine key solutions. This book provides a much-needed comprehensive discussion of what sustainability means for students, policy makers and all those interested in a sustainable future.
Download or read book Demystify Sin 3 0 written by Ola Faseku and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demystify Sin 3.0: Overcome Darkness is without ambiguity. It clearly explains simple techniques to achieve all our spiritual aims inside divine purpose. It espouses truth clearly without fear, compromise, or concession to any opposition. For Demystify Sin 3.0: Overcome Darkness, there are no shades of gray where truth is concerned. Truth is black and white and is written in scriptures. It is polite and expressed with decorum, yet it is the rude antithesis of all political, social, or cultural correctness where truth, the commandment and will of God, are concerned. It is a message given not to condemn us but for our benefitto show us how to grow spiritually as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and achieve the sanctification of our vessel unto holiness. It holds critical yet practical information for us all to individually deliver ourselves from the kingdom of darkness and power of Satan, spiritually prepare for the peak of darkness and long war ahead, work out our salvation, and avoid the capitulation and perdition that beckons on all. It is for those who wish to understand faith in Jesus Christ and use it to effectively overcome the darkness (nothing else can), fulfill divine purpose, and exercise and assert full authority over all the powers of the kingdom of darkness. Demystify Sin 3.0: Overcome Darkness is a dagger in the side of the darkness. All who can get a good handle on it will have its lord and master (Satan) on his knees at their feet.

Download or read book It Was All a Dream written by Reniqua Allen and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Black Americans have been trying to realize the promise of the American Dream for centuries and coping with the reality of its limitations for just as long. Now, a new generation is pursuing success, happiness, and freedom -- on their own terms. In It Was All a Dream, Reniqua Allen tells the stories of Black millennials searching for a better future in spite of racist policies that have closed off traditional versions of success. Many watched their parents and grandparents play by the rules, only to sink deeper and deeper into debt. They witnessed their elders fight to escape cycles of oppression for more promising prospects, largely to no avail. Today, in this post-Obama era, they face a critical turning point. Interweaving her own experience with those of young Black Americans in cities and towns from New York to Los Angeles and Bluefield, West Virginia to Chicago, Allen shares surprising stories of hope and ingenuity. Instead of accepting downward mobility, Black millennials are flipping the script and rejecting White America's standards. Whether it means moving away from cities and heading South, hustling in the entertainment industry, challenging ideas about gender and sexuality, or building activist networks, they are determined to forge their own path. Compassionate and deeply reported, It Was All a Dream is a celebration of a generation's doggedness against all odds, as they fight for a country in which their dreams can become a reality.
