Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alastair Reynolds returns to his bestselling Revelation Space universe with two novellas of interstellar exploration. "Diamond Dogs"The planet Golgotha -- supposedly lifeless -- resides in a remote star system, far from those inhabited by human colonists. It is home to an enigmatic machine-like structure called the Blood Spire, which has already brutally and systematically claimed the lives of one starship crew that attempted to uncover its secrets. But nothing will deter Richard Swift from exploring this object of alien origin... "Turquoise Days"In the seas of Turquoise live the Pattern Jugglers, the amorphous, aquatic organisms capable of preserving the memories of any human swimmer who joins their collective consciousness.

Download or read book Apocalypse The Transformation of Earth written by Friedrich Benesch and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Revelation of St. John, spiritual worlds and spiritual entities appear both in images of the sensory world and in images of the mineral realm. This book disusses these two sides of world manifestation. It is often argued that the images of St. John's Revelations are intended in a purely symbolic way. If this is so, the mineral appears as a symbol for something of a soul-like and spiritual nature. The Revelator however, did not see symbols, but rather realities; even a symbol can be genuine only if something of the reality for which it stands shines through. It must, in a real way, be inwardly identical with what it intends, the essence from which it stems. Thus it must arise from the same reality; otherwise it contains no meaning. The images of the minerals in the Apocalypse are just as much reality as the minerals are on Earth. Neither is essential; both are simply manifestations of something essential. Hence, both are truly apocalyptic—the mineral we hold in our hand and the image we hold in our mind. They reveal themselves mutually. This book juxtaposes the objects of sensory appearance and natural-scientific research with sayings from the Revelation of St. John to express the joint background of the appearances. When we connect one with the other, it can lead to an encounter with the essence. This is an “esoteric mineralogy.” Friedrich Benesch enables a renewed encounter between the human being and mineral being, from which essence and future can then shine out. Anyone wanting to look more deeply into the Book of Revelations should read this beautifully illustrated, unique work on its meaning and its significance for both today and the future of humankind and the Earth.

Download or read book Ignorance and Imagination The Epistemic Origin of the Problem of Consciousness written by Research School of Social Sciences The Australian National University Daniel Stoljar Senior Fellow and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignorance and Imagination advances a novel way to resolve the central philosophical problem about the mind: how it is that consciousness or experience fits into a larger naturalistic picture of the world. The correct response to the problem, Stoljar argues, is not to posit a realm of experience distinct from the physical, nor to deny the reality of phenomenal experience, nor even to rethink our understanding of consciousness and the language we use to talk about it. Instead, we should view the problem itself as a consequence of our ignorance of the relevant physical facts. Stoljar shows that this change of orientation is well motivated historically, empirically, and philosophically, and that it has none of the side effects it is sometimes thought to have. The result is a philosophical perspective on the mind that has a number of far-reaching consequences: for consciousness studies, for our place in nature, and for the way we think about the relationship between philosophy and science.

Download or read book Ignorance and Imagination written by Daniel Stoljar and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an article of faith in contemporary analytic philosophy that the problem of consciousness is conceptual in origin; that is, that it arises because of unclarity in the concept of consciousness (or related concepts), and such a solution to the problem would involve a clarification of the relevant concepts. Ignorance and Imagination argues that solutions of this kind are misguided because they all stem from a mistake view of the problem. In particular, the problem itself is not conceptual in origin but is epistemic; that is, it arises from our ignorance of some of the physical facts. Stoljar argues once one has a clear view of the nature of the problem, a solution to it is relatively easy to provide.

Download or read book Tasting Blue written by Laura Francis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophetic church is on the rise to bring a hope reformation to the world! The Hope Diamond is the largest blue diamond on Earth and it is the heavenly symbol of this hope reformation. The Hope Diamond has a voice. It carries a message from God that can be heard by those who understand the scriptural meaning of jewels and color. In this book the Hope Diamond’s true identity and heavenly message are revealed. Five physical senses help people interpret the material world: sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound. Each of these senses has a greater spiritual match! Once awakened these senses defy the limits of what could formerly be perceived and engage us with reality on a whole new level. The spiritual dimension earnestly awaits each individual awakening. Tasting Blue is a collection of prophetic writing that cultures and nurtures the spiritual senses. It beckons each reader beyond the mental confines of worldly perspective and helps us to interpret reality through a different kind of sight. Ephesians 1:17 says that Jesus opens our eyes! The surprise lies, in the set of eyes, that Jesus comes to open. Laura Francis writes in poems and parables-a form of prophetic language seen often within the Scriptures. She writes to accelerate our understanding of spiritual realities. Using scriptural references, her work helps reveal the treasure found within the pages of the Holy Bible: precious words given by God to edify, encourage and comfort humanity.

Download or read book The Anthropology of Precious Minerals written by Elizabeth Ferry and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly “precious”? What makes precious minerals “precious”? Drawing from ethnographic and cross-cultural research, this collection of anthropological essays and case studies answers these questions by exploring humans’ multifaceted relationships with the minerals they deem “precious.” The Anthropology of Precious Minerals addresses the entanglement of humans and minerals, with a particular focus on the practices of scrappers, miners, and hunters as they work to extract value. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that “preciousness” must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.

Download or read book Apocalypse Secrets written by John Able and published by John Able Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apocalypse Secrets: Baha'i Interpretation of the Book of Revelation with 60 illustrations is a fresh provocative Parallel Interpretation of the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation. The author, John Able MD, is a retired intensive-care physician. He uses Baha'i Writings that interpret parts of the Apocalypse to decode it as a global tale of three millennia now passing through four centuries of the events of religious end-times. It is a tale of the struggles of seven Empires and seven Faiths, of their materialism and militarism, and the resulting mess into which the world is now crescendoing furiously and fast. These events center on the apocalyptic war waging between the Revelation beast of Muslim Militarism that drives the Middle East and the Revelation Babylon of Malignant Materialism that drives the Christian West. The fall of both is inevitable, with economic crises spiraling the globe into a paralytic depression, now triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. The good news is that spiritual economics will arise and our painful end times into wonderful beginning times. Apocalypse Secrets is a profound and astonishing work in biblical exegesis-a real tour de force as a strikingly original, scholarly, remarkably holistic, comprehensive, and rationally consistent interpretation of the Book of Revelation. Able intelligently probes and penetrates many of the great religious mysteries, and cogently argues that Revelation extends far beyond its strictly Middle East Christic origin. It transcends religious dogma, bridges religious faiths, and explains nineteen hundred years of troubling events in Christianity and Islam with amazing clarity and prescience. It is amazingly detailed and thorough. The author's stylish rhetoric is colorful and alive and his book beautifully crafted and researched, making for an engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking read. In the end, a scholarly Translation Section decodes original Greek and Hebrew sources. Its strikingly lively translation sticks to the intention of the Greek original. It provides an authoritative base for his distinctive Parallel Interpretation. For anyone striving to penetrate the hidden secrets of the Apocalypse, Apocalypse Secrets is a must reading. This exceedingly interesting book will influence many future works about the subject and become a template of understanding and peace for all. After they read it, people who are interested in prophecy will never look at the Book of Revelation the same again. Visit www.apocalypse.info for more.

Download or read book Looking into the Revelation written by Dr. Boyd O. Gray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Bible was first written, the book of Revelation has provided readers with a glimpse of what is to come. But even as the world rapidly fulfills the ancient Scripture, many still avoid its obscure, symbolic language, which often lends itself to fanatical interpretation. In Looking into the Revelation, a seasoned pastor uses various version of the Bible to provide a clear explanation of biblical texts relating to the end of the world as we know it. Dr. Boyd Gray, a minister with more than thirty years of experience, offers a comprehensive study from the premillennial view based on his opinion that the masses are either not ready for the return of Christ or have dismissed it as myth altogether. As Dr. Gray works his way through Scripture detailing the truths of John the Apostle and the predicted tribulations of the Antichrist, he demonstrates through his interpretations that God's Word is the truth-a message he hopes will motivate sinners to heed the Lord's gracious call to salvation. Looking into the Revelation shares a careful examination of biblical text that seeks to encourage people of all faiths to reexamine their lives and their beliefs and to fall in love with the Lord Jesus Christ.
