Download or read book Digital Consciousness A Transformative Vision written by Jim Elvidge and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could be a more compelling read than a book that explains the greatest mysteries known to man in one fell swoop. Who is God? What happens after we die? What the heck is quantum entanglement? Why did Dolly’s braces disappear in the movie "Moonraker?" Our reality is not what it appears to be. The latest physics experiments demonstrate that an objective reality doesn’t exist. And no one truly knows what consciousness is or where the mind resides. Strange interconnectedness, anomalous events, and changing histories confound even the most open-minded of scientists. No single theory seems to be able to explain it all. Until now.
Download or read book Digital Consciousness written by Tenille Bentley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we in an era today where our greatest teacher is at our fingertips? Digital Consciousness is a philosophical dialogue into the evolution of consciousness within the digital terrain and the legacy footprint on the human family. Exploring the emotional 'digital' frequency of self is a concept that Tenille Bentley has given a great deal of thought to, and some of the answers to these questions and more may surprise you. While not everyone wants to 'change the world' we do all have the power at our fingertips now to radically affect change for someone, somewhere, some place. Recognizing this ability and harnessing how we use the internet is the basis for this book. This book is also packed with examples of how people are using the internet and how digital consciousness is currently our most under appreciated and underused global resource. As we can become consciously aware of this new world, the power of it and the intentions we place in it at the click of a mouse button the effect is far greater than any of us can compute in the architecture of our minds. It's having an awareness beyond the awareness, it's caring enough to treat each post as a piece of the puzzle to the collective consciousness. Ask yourself today, what will this world look like when we reach a united level of Digital Consciousness? You have the potential in creating the world through what you perceive and search for daily. You're either controlling what the Internet gives to you or your being controlled by it. Author Q&A Interview with the Author Tenille Bentley Q: Why did you write the book Tenille? A: After building a multi million dollar business in digital at the age of 30, I realized something deeper, that I was a part of the 'new' education tool and I saw the power of this tool first hand through the hundreds of brands I would support. There came a point where I asked myself, would I be proud of this contribution to the human family on my death bed, is it something when I look back that I would say 'I did the work of good here' At the time of asking this question the answer was a no. So I knew I had to dig deeper into the philosophical disposition of this world of digital. I saw kids morph into the same behaviors as cocaine addicts, getting the next 'digital hit'. I have seen people mindlessly putting posts online and then wondering why we have a world of women with body issues, a world of violence and a world that I wouldn't be proud to present as part of a representation of me. I knew it begun with me, my thoughts, the collective and philosophical understanding of how it is all interconnected in this realm of digital. Once I went down that rabbit hole...I had no choice but to share what I found. Q: What is your desired outcome with sharing this work with the world? A: The only wish I have with the reader of this book and the outcome is to simply consider what contribution they make in the digital world, what is their digital legacy and to make the connection that clearly exists of our impact of every thought, action and word in the greater collective. I would love for them to go on and share this work, to be inspired to make a difference in the world and to realize it begins with them. Our next generation is coming into a beautiful chaos, and we need to be able to educate them of how to handle this, the practice of love and not fear. And it all begins with the reader of this book. Q: Tell us more about what you do outside of this work? I have launched an extension of this book into a global academy for kids called The Emotional Literacy and Mindfulness Academy. The Emotional Literacy and Mindfulness Academy is a place where kids learn about their emotional grid system, how to manage it, they learn to meditate and apply practical tools of application in the real world using mindfulness techniques to arm them with the capacity to unplug in a plugged in world. www.emotionalliteracyacademy.com for more.

Download or read book Faith Physics written by Nathan V. Hoffman and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FFaith Physics is a new Theory of Everything (ToE) combining ancient spiritual wisdom and modern quantum physics findings to deliver a belief system that is both intellectually sound and spiritually satisfying. It maintains an ineffable Supreme Consciousness is the catalyst of all material creation as a ‘great thought’ through pure white light in zero-point morphogenetic quantum fields. Faith Physics claims that consciousness is the cornerstone of base reality existing in a timeless state of now. By using the natural cause-and-effect laws of classical physics, the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, and dark matter/energy, Faith Physics posits pure consciousness manifests physical creation in a remarkable myriad of forms. In the wave/particle duality paradigm revealed by quantum mechanics, conscious observation transforms light energy into particulate physical matter as condensed or frozen light in accordance with Albert Einstein’s famous E=mc2 equation. Faith Physics teaches us we exist and thrive in a unified participatory universe emanating from an eternal Supreme Consciousness source, and we are not just a product of random-chance evolution. In the 21st century, religion and science are reaching an enlightened consensus that pure metaphysical consciousness is perpetually painting a picture on the space-time continuum canvas depicting a miraculous cycle of physical creation, entropy, and cosmic rebirth.

Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the economics of the business of maritime transport. It provides an economic explanation of four aspects of maritime transport, namely, the demand, the supply, the market and the strategy. The book first explains why seaborne trade happens and what its development trends are; it then analyses the main features of shipping supply and how various shipping markets function; the book finally addresses the critical strategic issues of the shipping business. The full range of different types of shipping are covered throughout the chapters and cases. The book combines the basic principles of maritime transport with the modern shipping business and the latest technological developments, particularly in the area of digital disruption. The ideas and explanations are supported and evidenced by practical examples and more than 160 tables and figures. The questions posed by the book are similar to those that would be asked by the students in their learning process or the professionals in the business environment, with the answers concentrating on the reasons for what has happened and will happen in the future rather than merely fact-telling or any specific forecast. The book is most suited for students of shipping-related disciplines, and is also a valuable reference for maritime professionals.

Download or read book Automating Vision written by Anthony McCosker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automating Vision explores the rise of seeing machines through four case studies: facial recognition, drone vision, mobile and locative media and driverless cars. Proposing a conceptual lens of camera consciousness, which is drawn from the early visual anthropology of Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead, Automating Vision accounts for the growing power and value of camera technologies and digital image processing. Behind the smart camera devices examined throughout the book lies a set of increasingly integrated and automated technologies underpinned by artificial intelligence, machine learning and image processing. Seeing machines are now implicated in growing visual data markets and are supported by emerging layers of infrastructure that they coproduce. In this book, Anthony McCosker and Rowan Wilken address the social impacts, the disruptions and reconfigurations to existing digital media ecosystems, to urban environments and to mobility and social relations that result from the increasing automation of vision and explore how it might be possible to ensure a safe and equitable future as we learn to see with and negotiate the interventions of seeing machines. This book will appeal to students and scholars in media, communication, cultural studies, sociology of media and science and technology studies.

This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading philosopher takes a mind-bending journey through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place within it. Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already. Along the way, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of big ideas in philosophy and science. He uses virtual reality technology to offer a new perspective on long-established philosophical questions. How do we know that there’s an external world? Is there a god? What is the nature of reality? What’s the relation between mind and body? How can we lead a good life? All of these questions are illuminated or transformed by Chalmers’ mind-bending analysis. Studded with illustrations that bring philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a major statement that will shape discussion of philosophy, science, and technology for years to come.

Download or read book The Art and Science of Transformational Leadership written by Raghurami Reddy Etukuru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformation is a process of bringing radical change to the context that sets a new direction and takes the organization to an entirely different level of effectiveness with little to no resemblance to the past. There is always a need for positive change and for transforming people’s lives regardless of what has been achieved so far by the organization or the society. There is always room for people to dream big, think big, make a difference, and make an impact to bring about transformative change. Transformation is required in virtually any field, whether it is business, technology, education, health care, banking, agriculture, politics, poverty reduction, entertainment, transportation, cities, or manufacturing. Transforming an organization or the lives of people within a society is purely a leadership-based mission that requires a creative and innovative mind-set. The aspects of the transformation process include purpose-driven vision, creativity, innovation, design thinking, agile transformation, cultural transformation, digital capabilities, human experience transformation, and business model transformation. Transformational leadership is about envisioning the future and making it brighter by way of bringing about transformative change. Transformational leaders must be courageous and empathetic. Several qualities that transformational leaders need to possess in order to embrace transformation include vision, creativity, inspiration, courage, collaboration, commitment, empathy, and emotional intelligence. These aspects, along with their appropriate components and subcomponents, are discussed in The Art and Science of Transformational Leadership.
Download or read book How to Change the World written by Dan Desmarques and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-29 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could you or anyone else change the world? Yes, even though many people can't realize this reality isn't only in what we see but other things too, which lay beyond our eyesight. The easiest level to perceive is the one of our senses: We believe what we see and trust what we hear; we also believe what we feel. And we then think that these ways are all we need to know. But there is another level, below this, in which most people find themselves - the level of illusion, as what happens when we conceive reality according to our mental filters. Most people are not even aware of the idea of reality and what it truly is, or how it works at a vibrational level, much less their capacity to handle it and control it, or even transform it. For this reason, in this book, you will learn about all the levels that compose human consciousness and how to use this information to ascent to a higher state of mind, but also help others achieve the same.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Learning for Transformation written by Aliki Nicolaides and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers an expanded discourse on transformative learning by making the turn into new passageways to explore the phenomenon of transformation. It curates diverse discourses, knowledges and practices of transformation, in ways that both includes and departs from the adult learning mainstay of transformative learning and adult education. The purpose of this handbook is not to resolve or unify a theory of transformation and all the disciplinary contributions that clearly promote a living concept of transformation. Instead, the intent is to catalyze a more complex and deeper inquiry into the “Why of transformation.” Each discipline, culture, ethics and practice has its own specialized care and reasons for paying attention to transformation. How can scholars, practitioners, and active members of discourses on transformative learning make a difference? How can they foster and create conditions that allow us to move on to other, unaddressed or understudied questions? To answer these questions, the editors and their authors employ the metaphor of the many turns into passageways to convey the potential of transformation that may emerge from the many connecting passageways between, for instance, people and society, theory and practice, knowledge created by diverse disciplines and fields/professions, individual and collective transformations, and individual and social action.
Download or read book Postcinematic Vision written by Roger F. Cook and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of how film has continually intervened in our sense of perception, with far-ranging insights into the current state of lived experience How has cinema transformed our senses, and how does it continue to do so? Positing film as a stage in the long coevolution of human consciousness and visual technology, Postcinematic Vision offer a fresh perspective on the history of film while providing startling new insights into the so-called divide between cinematic and digital media. Starting with the argument that film viewing has long altered neural circuitry in our brains, Roger F. Cook proceeds to reevaluate film’s origins, as well as its merger with digital imaging in the 1990s. His animating argument is that film has continually altered the relation between media and human perception, challenging the visual nature of modern culture in favor of a more unified, pan-sensual way of perceiving. Through this approach, he makes original contributions to our understanding of how mediation is altering lived experience. Along the way, Cook provides important reevaluations of well-known figures such as Franz Kafka, closely reading cinematic passages in the great author’s work; he reassesses the conventional wisdom that Marshall McLuhan was a technological determinist; and he lodges an original new reading of The Matrix. Full of provocative and far-reaching ideas, Postcinematic Vision is a powerful work that helps us see old concepts anew while providing new ideas for future investigation.
Download or read book Vision 3000 written by Michael Aschenbach and published by . This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and positive vision of sweeping scope, VISION 3000 presents a convincing picture of humanity's future. Readers describe it as "uplifting, encouraging, empowering," "beautifully written," and "packed with new ideas." This vision makes sense. It helps people understand and align with the greater transformation of our world. No wonder so many people are talking about it! In a clear and inspired voice, VISION 3000 explains why humanity is evolving in one specific direction and how the challenges we face today only push us further along that path. This book connects a vision several steps ahead of its time with everyday life and shows how we can benefit from its insights right now. The complexity of our postmodern world will look far clearer after you have read it- an experience you don't want to miss. VISION 3000 describes the stages of our future transformation as they affect six social functions: Human Science, Spiritual Culture, Technology, Media, Economics, and Governance. We are shown how emerging evolutions of human consciousness bring in new worldviews that completely transform each of these dimensions. This vision lays out a blueprint for individuals, organizations, and our whole planetary society to awaken and set us free.
