Download or read book Dreams of Lies and Delusions written by James Polus and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fictitious historical tale set in a lost civilization of South Asia, “Dreams of Lies and Delusions” is a speculation about the existence of elaborate texts detailing the people and events of their times, well before the appearance of books. Like many of the sophisticated cities in ancient times, this fanciful chronicle of a lost writing system did not survive the passage of time, shifting climates, earthquakes, floods, and destructive invasions. Imaginative oral traditions filled the void for thousands of years. The story depicts the challenges of justice, the fight for equality, and the human drive for purpose. Malevolent and baneful characters influenced by pride, revenge, and desire for power show the twisted, murderous influence of extreme personality disorders, manifested in dreams and imaginary visitations. A vengeful ruler, a serial killer, and a religious zealot poison their minds with lies and delusions, fomenting evil acts and ultimate self-destruction. Remarkable women characters fill the pages with acts of courage, wisdom, and shrewdness. These characters remind us of the untapped potentiality of women in every aspect of life across the world, particularly in some cultures chained to conservative ideologies.

Offering an important and useful contribution to the study of ancient philosophy, psychology and medicine.

Download or read book Understanding Dreams from God written by Scott Breslin and published by William Carey Library. This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practically all the popular dream books on the market are written from Hindu, New Age and/or parapsychology viewpoints. In contrast, "Understanding Dreams from God" was written to present a worldview that affirms the historicity and authority of the Torah, Psalms and Gospels. These holy writings acknowledge that God has used dreams and visions to communicate with humanity for thousands of years. They have much to say about supernatural revelation, dream interpretations, purposes and limits of dreams, false dreams and the reality of the spirit world. It is written: For God does speak-now one way, now another-though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride, to preserve his would from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword. (Job 33: 14-18)

Download or read book Implausible Dream written by James H. Mittelman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the paradigm of the world-class university is an implausible dream for most institutions of higher education Universities have become major actors on the global stage. Yet, as they strive to be “world-class,” institutions of higher education are shifting away from their core missions of cultivating democratic citizenship, fostering critical thinking, and safeguarding academic freedom. In the contest to raise their national and global profiles, universities are embracing a new form of utilitarianism, one that favors market power over academic values. In this book, James Mittelman explains why the world-class university is an implausible dream for most institutions and proposes viable alternatives that can help universities thrive in today’s competitive global environment. Mittelman traces how the scale, reach, and impact of higher-education institutions expanded exponentially in the post–World War II era, and how the market-led educational model became widespread. Drawing on his own groundbreaking fieldwork, he offers three case studies—the United States, which exemplifies market-oriented educational globalization; Finland, representative of the strong public sphere; and Uganda, a postcolonial country with a historically public but now increasingly private university system. Mittelman shows that the “world-class” paradigm is untenable for all but a small group of wealthy, research-intensive universities, primarily in the global North. Nevertheless, institutions without substantial material resources and in far different contexts continue to aspire to world-class stature. An urgent wake-up call, Implausible Dream argues that universities are repurposing at the peril of their high principles and recommends structural reforms that are more practical than the unrealistic worldwide measures of excellence prevalent today.
