Book excerpt: In Practical Thinking de Bono’s theme is everyday thinking, how the mind actually works – not how philosophers think it should. Based on the results of his famous Black Cylinder Experiment (a critical thinking task that asks participants why they think a black cylinder falls over), de Bono explores the four practical ways of being right. From there he picks out and names the five levels of understanding – and the five major mistakes in thinking. From memes and Instagram to twitter and bestselling books like Mistakes I Made At Work, mistakes – and what we can learn from them – are a hot topic. With Edward you’ll learn exactly why we all make them.
Download or read book The Gates of Destiny written by John C. Compton and published by Compton/Kowanz Publications. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a series of commentaries, research notes and illustrations selected from the author's amazing research work. It shows how the notational values (for trigram transposition) which change the ancient symbolic language of the I Ching into a simple numerical language were oringinally derived from the combined symbolic mathematics of the ancient Ho-T'u - The Dragon Horse diagram and the Lo Shu - The Tortoise diagram. This document provides additional conclusive evidence that the originator(s) of the I Ching employed a mathematical system (developed during the Ch'in and Han dynasties) which encompassed a formalistic natural philosophy that sought to embrace the entire world in a system of number symbolism. In addition, the research work contained herein sets out to prove, by using mathematical operand gates methodology, that the destiny/fate of an individual being is dependent upon their own genetic DNA.

Download or read book The I Ching The T ai Hsuan Ching written by John Clifford Compton and published by Compton/Kowanz Publications. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of this book differs from the other volumes of the I Ching Project, because it is a mathematical analysis of the T'ai Hsuan Ching , another Chinese Classic, which is considered to be the lost companion of the I Ching. This research document is based on nine magic squares incorporated on an ancient Tibetan Mandala and the 81 linear line symbols of the T'ai Hsuan Ching, each of which have been given a numerical notation based on the transposition of linear line symbols. The transposition of the three linear line symbols of the I Ching is known and may be represented by the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9. However, the transposition of the four linear line symbols of the T'ai Hsuan Ching is NOT known. The author's research and mathematical analysis shows that the transposition of these four linear line symbols may be represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, which conclusively proves that the T'ai Hsuan Ching may predate The I Ching as a divination oracle.
Download or read book This Rough Magic written by Mercedes Lackey and published by Baen Publishing Enterprises. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 1170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Demon Chernobog¾ Foiled but Not Conquered in The Shadow of the Lion¾ is Back to Conquer Sixteenth-Century Venice! Chernobog had come within a hair of seizing absolute power in Venice, but was thwarted by the guardian Lion-spirit, who awoke to protect his city from the power-mad demon. But the power of the Lion is limited to Venice, and Chernobog has a new ally in the King of Hungary, who has beseiged the island of Corfu to seize control of the Adriatic from Venice. Trapped on the island is the small band of heroes who awoke the Lion and thwarted Chernobog before. Far from the Lion's help, Manfred and Erik lead guerrillas against the foe, and Maria discovers ancient magical powers on the island. If she can make alliance with them, she may be able to repel the invaders¾but not without paying a bitter personal price. . . .

Download or read book The Choice of Magic written by Michael G. Manning and published by Michael Manning. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite—a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses. But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death. His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.

Book excerpt: The Demon Council. Their membership was the one thing my father had warned me to avoid. Now here I was, my life signed away on a contract.

Not if I want to keep my friends alive. When Ethan comes to me with my next mission—to investigate the disappearance of a pure blood demon—I’m hoping for an easy payout. But what I find is something far more sinister. A new plan that could upset the balance of everything, and change all of our lives forever.

Book excerpt: His Darkness, Her Brightness… Together They Defy the World Lord Gabriel Phel at last holds his dream in his grasp—and faces losing everything. He’s finally won the love of his wife, familiar, and mother of his child, and she offers him a heartfelt commitment he can truly believe in. Together they’re building a true house, one with a growing family of friends and allies that can help them stand against their enemies. And he’s learning to master his magic, to use it as the powerful tool and weapon it should be. But old and new enemies array themselves to take it all away. Lady Veronica, now fully of House Phel, is doing her best to embrace happiness. After all, she has her hands full managing her mercurial and powerful wizard as he navigates taking his place as the head of their house, and with learning her own extraordinary ability. But she fears whatever peace they win won’t last long. When their enemies inevitably strike—including, perhaps, her own father—they must be ready to defend all they hold precious. It doesn’t help that her idealistic husband insists on making foolishly noble decisions that put them at even greater risk, nor that she loves him all the more for it. As Nic and Gabriel struggle to put their household in order, giving ill-advised safe harbor to Nic’s runaway sister and risking their lives to save Gabriel’s sister’s sanity, their enemies draw the noose tighter on their well laid plans. When the unthinkable occurs, it’s up to both of them to trust in the nascent, unknown magic they’ve woven together.
