Download or read book Knowledge of Self written by Supreme Understanding and published by Supreme Design Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know who - and what - you are? Do you know who you're meant to be? Do you know how to find the answers to questions like these? Knowledge of Self is the result of a process of self-discovery, but few of us know where to begin when we're ready to start looking deeper. Although self-actualization is the highest of all human needs, it is said that only 5% of people ever attain this goal. In the culture of the Nation of Gods and Earths, commonly known as the Five Percent, students are instructed that they must first learn themselves, then their worlds, and then what they must do in order to transform their world for the better. This often intense process has produced thousands of revolutionary thinkers in otherwise desperate environments, where poverty and hopelessness dominate. Until now, few mainstream publications have captured the brilliant yet practical perspectives of these luminary men and women. Knowledge of Self: A Collection of Writings on the Science of Everything in Life presents the thoughts of Five Percenters, both young and old, male and female, from all over the globe, in their own words. Through essays, poems, and even how-to articles, this anthology presents readers with an accurate portrait of what the Five Percent study and teach, as well as sound direction on how to answer timeless questions like: Who am I, and why am I here? Why is there so much injustice in the world, and what can be done about it? Who is God and where on Earth is he? How do I improve myself without losing myself? Why are people of color in the situations they're in? What can we do about the global problems of racism and poverty?

Download or read book The Madness of Knowledge written by Steven Connor and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many human beings have considered the powers and the limits of human knowledge, but few have wondered about the power that the idea of knowledge has over us. Steven Connor’s The Madness of Knowledge is the first book to investigate this emotional inner life of knowledge—the lusts, fantasies, dreams, and fears that the idea of knowing provokes. There are in-depth discussions of the imperious will to know, of Freud’s epistemophilia (or love of knowledge), and the curiously insistent links between madness, magical thinking, and the desire for knowledge. Connor also probes secrets and revelations, quarreling and the history of quizzes and “general knowledge,” charlatanry and pretension, both the violent disdain and the sanctification of the stupid, as well as the emotional investment in the spaces and places of knowledge, from the study to the library. In an age of artificial intelligence, alternative facts, and mistrust of truth, The Madness of Knowledge offers an opulent, enlarging, and sometimes unnerving psychopathology of intellectual life.

Download or read book The Wisdom Pyramid written by Brett McCracken and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're facing an information overload. With the quick tap of a finger we can access an endless stream of addictive information—sports scores, breaking news, political opinions, streaming TV, the latest Instagram posts, and much more. Accessing information has never been easier—but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult. In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett McCracken has created the "Wisdom Pyramid." Inspired by the food pyramid model, the Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). At a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick, The Wisdom Pyramid suggests that we become healthy and wise when we reorient our lives around God—the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.

Download or read book In the Name of Knowledge and Wisdom written by Jonas E. Alexis and published by . This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The high priests of atheism really have no clothes." So says Jonas E. Alexis. He takes the atheists and skeptics on the ground they cherish most-logical consistency and experiential relevance. He believes we are living in a time when thinking people believe the unthinkable, the unreasonable, and the unimaginable. In the name of "knowledge" and "wisdom," many intellectuals, atheists, and skeptics embrace irrational ideas. In the Name of Knowledge and Wisdom challenges those ideas. He takes the atheists, skeptics, and critics of Christianity to task for believing the impossible about Christianity. Armed with simple logic and common sense, Alexis demolishes the atheist position and points the way to Christianity. This book is for anyone who has questions about the new "golden age" of atheism. Furthermore, the book also provides a strong critique of the nihilism that is quite rampant in our pop culture. Ultimately, the book shows that if God is dead, as the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche proposed in the nineteenth century, then anything is permitted. Jonas E. Alexis has a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's degree in education. He is a math teacher in Florida. His first book in this trilogy is In the Name of Education, and the third book will be Education's Dangerous Idea. It is tentatively scheduled to be released in the winter of 2009. "Alexis has written an important book." -Don DeYoung, Ph.D. in physics Chairman of the Department of Physical Science at Grace College Author of Astronomy and the Bible "In the Name of Education is not only worth reading, it is worth believing, worth heeding, and most important, worth acting upon." -Dr. David A. Noebel, best-sellingauthor of Understanding the Times "Alexis has certainly done a block of research." -Paul Sperry, author of Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington "In the Name of Education is excellent and rich with solidly documented information. For me, any book of social criticism needs to be fully attributed so that I can validate both the quote and the author's interpretation. This book accomplishes that mission. It is clearly written." -Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D., author of Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences: The Red Queen and the Grand Scheme "In the Name of Education documents the weird and dangerous ideas that have put generations of Americans at risk, even as it points the way back toward genuine intellectual and moral reform." -Jim Nelson Black, Ph.D., author of Freefall of the American University
