Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable and Black Iris comes a sexy, romantic suspense novel about two best friends who are torn apart by a life-shattering accident, and the secrets it left behind. Vada and Ellis's friendship is so intense and consuming, it's hard to tell where one girl ends and the other begins. Yet they couldn't be more different: Ellis is nerdy, shy, and rich; Vada is an ambitious artist struggling to make ends meet. When Vada gets into an elite New England art college, Ellis comes along for the ride. Like always. They can face anything in the world as long as they're together ... Until a horrifying accident tears them apart. Life goes on, and Ellis handles it just fine on her own, but Vada is deeply scarred--emotionally and physically. Her once-promising career as an artist is cut short by her injuries. Broke and severed from doing what she loves, she meets the wrong guy at the right time: Dane, a smooth-talking lothario, who offers her a new career as a cam girl. All Vada has to do is spend a couple hours each night taking off her clothes in front of a webcam, and the tips come pouring in. Things get complicated when a client who calls himself Blue gets possessive. Through the safety of the cam, they open up to each other intimately. Vada finally talks about the accident. Blue helps her heal. And he pays well, but he wants her all to himself. No more cam shows. He's a mystery, and she might be falling for him, so Vada demands something in return: to meet in real life. Blue agrees, on one condition: she has to bring Ellis. The girl who wants nothing to do with her anymore. Now Vada is forced to confront the past she's been running from. A past full of devastating secrets--those of others, and those she's been keeping from herself ...

Download or read book Faith Through the Prism of Psychology written by Eugene Subbotsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Through the Prism of Psychology introduces readers to the structure and function of the inherent ability of our Self to invest objects with reality — existentialization (EXON). The author moves away from traditional ideas of existence and faith, arguing that it is an inherent ability of an individual mind to invest entities (both objective and subjective) with reality. The book treats faith as a psychological ability of the mind to upgrade the existential statuses of imaginary entities, such as ghosts or gods; the working of faith is operationalized and analyzed in empirical psychological studies. It presents a new model of investing objects with existence, with such structural elements as the belief in object permanence (BOP), magic/ordinary distinguisher (MOD), magic/trick distinguisher (MTD), imaginary/perceived distinguisher (IPD), BOP defense mechanism (BOP/DM) and realities distinguisher (RD). It will be essential reading for anyone interested in existence from psychology, philosophy, art, theology or psychotherapy backgrounds.

Download or read book Summa Dharmalogica written by Maik Sulmaya Pehrsson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summa Dharmalogica is a new detailed take on the mythological history of Indian religion from a Buddhist perspective. There are several interwoven themes throughout the text, but the main thesis is that the underlying philosophy of all Buddhist (and related) traditions offers a middle-way solution to the current battle between new materialist movements and the Creationist movements of religion. Another parallel theme is the suggestion that the "dharma" the practical philosophy central to Hindu and Buddhist lineages has its roots in the Neolithic age long before Orthodox religion and that the seemingly different traditions of Vedanta, Tantra, Madhyamaka, Advaita and Yoga are essentially identical. This is supported by way of study and analysis of mythology, anthropology and philosophy. The investigation into this substratum of spirituality shows that it is in fact the far more recent branches of Tibetan Buddhism that seem to come closest to the 'original or primal intention and practise of the dharma. The title of the book is borrowed from the Dominican Theologian St Thomas Aquinas, who tied together the scattered Christian ideology of the 13th Century and infused them with a new philosophical and scientific fervour in his Summa Theologica. This is what I have attempted to do here with the Vedic-Buddhist conglomerate, albeit on a much smaller scale. By looking at the theological similarities and differences between a variety of religious ideas and facing the starkly materialistic dogma of popular science today, a new level of clarity and knowledge comes to light. One of the aims of this study has been to describe the entire philosophical outlook of Vedic and Buddhist notions on ultimate reality. Phenomenology and Origin are studied and debated, offering both an ancient as well as a new way of looking at the nature of reality. In doing so, various other offers for ultimate reality Creationism, Evolution, Quantum Physics are taken on board and investigated. Connected to this is a specific look at the much misunderstood topic of Tantra, its historical roots and philosophical implications as well as its pre-religious antiquity. It is at this point that we come into deep investigation of concepts of faith, God, enlightenment as well as birth, death, sex and unity. Embark on a logical and spiritual journey of reason and wisdom, partaking in a kind of 'New Theism' by looking at God through Buddhist goggles, disseminating the flaws of creationism and evolution and understanding the nature of the universe through the ontological study of Amandas toes! The journey is concluded by offering a meditation manual of sorts, tying in the ideas that have been discussed and channeling them into a positive, practical application in the form of a fully revised presentation of the Lam Rim. Finally, this book is not about nor in support or denial of religion but rather an investigation into the true nature of reality. Though it investigates religious ideas and history it shows clearly that 'dharma' is something different.

Download or read book Colors Passing Through Us written by Marge Piercy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colors Passing Through Us, Marge Piercy is at the height of her powers, writing about what matters to her most: the lives of women, nature, Jewish ritual, love between men and women, and politics, sexual and otherwise. Feisty and funny as always, she turns a sharp eye on the world around her, bidding an exhausted farewell to the twentieth century and singing an "electronic breakdown blues" for the twenty-first. She memorializes movingly those who, like los desaparecidos and the victims of 9/11, disappear suddenly and without a trace. She writes an elegy for her mother, a woman who struggled with a deadening round o fhousework, washin gon Monday, ironing on Tuesday, and so on, "until stroke broke/her open." She remembers the scraps of lace, the touch of velvet, that were part of her maternal inheritance and fist aroused her sensual curiosity. Here are paeans to the pleasures of the natural world (rosy ripe tomatoes, a mating dance of hawks) as the poet confronts her own mortality in the cycle of seasons and the eternity of the cosmos: "iam hurrying, I am running hard / toward I don't know what, / but I mean to arrive before dark." Other poems--about her grandmother's passage from Russia to the New World, or the interrupting of a Passover seder to watch a comet pass--expand on Piercy's appreciation of Jewish life that won her so much acclaim in The Art of Blessing the Day. Colors Passing Through Us is a moving celebration of the endurance of love an dof the phenomenon of life itself--a book to treasure.

Download or read book Denying Existence written by A. Chakrabarti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tries to explore, in language as non-technical as possible, the deepest philosophical problems regarding the logical status of empty (singular) terms such as `Pegasus', `Batman', `The impossible staircase departs in Escher's painting `Ascending-Descending'+ etc., and regarding sentences which deny the existence of singled-out fictional entities. It will be fascinating for literary theorists with a flair for logic, to students of metaphysics and philosophy of language, and for historians of philosophy interested in the fate of the Russell-Meinong debate. For teachers of these aspects of analytic philosophy this will provide a textbook which goes beyond the Western tradition (without plunging into any mystical Eastern `Emptiness', which is what some previous comparative philosophers did!).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tibetan Buddhist practice isn't just sitting in silent meditation, it's developing fresh attitudes that align our minds with reality. Includes three new translations of Atisha’s source material. In this book, B. Alan Wallace explains a fundamental type of mental training that is designed to shift our attitudes so that our minds become pure wellsprings of joy instead of murky pools of problems, anxieties, fleeting pleasures, hopes, and frustrations. The lojong—or mind-training—teachings have been the subject of profound study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. Wallace shows us the way to develop our capacity for spiritual awareness through his relatable and practical commentary on the mind-training slogans.

Download or read book The Christians God Does Not Exist Yes He She Does written by Proncell F. Johnson Jr. and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christians’ God Does Not Exist! Yes, He/She Does! By: Proncell F. Johnson Jr. Carl Sagan, popular astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, and astrobiologist wrote: “We are Star Stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.” The scientific community basically agrees that everything is made of atoms. Proncell F. Johnson Jr. says that they are all wrong! Johnson shows that the material universe (along with us mortals) is one big illusion for all things are actually incorporeal/spiritual, the manifestation of the spiritual being we Christians have come to call God. He says that the realization of and utilization of this fact will enable one to duplicate for himself the “so-called” miracles of Christ Jesus in degrees, thus proving the existence of this God, and the non-existence of matter. Johnson’s proof is based upon a law of physics that make it all but impossible to refute as the below reviews confirm.

Download or read book The Study of Lives written by Robert White and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Study of Lives reveals for the first time the extent of Henry A. Murray's considerable influence on the study of personality. Throughout his long and distinguished career, he has either trained or strongly influenced some of the world's leading psychologists, eighteen of whom have written fascinating essays for this book. The range of topics presented here is as diverse and highly original as Murray's own ideas about personality. Everyone concerned with the study of personality will find this book an excellent sampling of the best work being done in the field. "The study of lives" is a phrase Henry A. Murray has often used to describe his own work, and it suggests his central conviction that living beings must be studied as living wholes. Personality, he has repeatedly pointed out, is a dynamic process-a constantly changing configuration of thoughts, feelings, and actions occurring in a social environment and continuing throughout life. If small parts and short segments of human affairs have to be isolated for detailed scrutiny, they must still be understood as parts of a patterned organic system and as segments of a lifelong process. This has never meant for him that all research should take the form of collecting life histories, although his contributions along this line have been outstanding. It implies simply that isolating, fragmenting, and learning just a tiny bit about a lot of people tend to carry us away from what is most worth studying. The essays in this book are grouped under headings that represent some of Murray's strongest interests: His conception of personality as a dynamic process is reflected in Part I, which deals with continuities and changes in the course of life. His interest in devising procedures suitable for disclosing live feelings, fantasies, and adaptations and his insistence on the necessity for an adequate taxonomy of carefully discriminated, carefully defined variables are represented in the papers of Part II. His view that creativity is a central property of human nature has contributed to the reflections and researches that make up Part III. Finally, his concern with values--the great blind spot of traditional science but so obviously a momentous problem for contemporary lives and societies--has been taken up in several different ways by the authors of Part IV.
