Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The river, still fed by the far distant mountain spring of Book 1 (Plough), approaches the ocean. It has sustained life all through the evolution of society along its banks and down through the centuries during the events of Book 2 (Growth) and Book 3 (Harvest), but by the time of Book 4 (Snow) the conscious connection between society and the river has almost been lost. According to legend, at one point the river split into two streams, one feminine and the other masculine, and where they will flow into the ocean they will re-unite, of necessity. It is winter. Jade is making her way across country on foot as the snow steadily falls, obliterating the details and landmarks the eye takes for granted when finding the way. She is gifted as an actress, and, though born male, has devoted her life to performing female roles, with considerable success. As part of the sacrifice needed to perfect her art, she has also lived her daily life outside the theatre as a woman, in her nature as a woman and a single woman. Several years ago she founded an ensemble of which she is the director and principal actor, and has recently allowed women to perform female roles, the first time this has happened in this culture. While she treks across country, her ensemble is rehearsing for a new production called The Temptation, for the first time having to work without Jades directions. She is making her way to an isolated hotel where she will direct a piece of spontaneous theatre with unsuspecting guests who have never consciously acted before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as a work of literary genius in which the reader is led to a place almost beyond the capacities of language, Note for Note (Another Pentateuch) - Book 1: Plough spoke of the attempted search for consciousness of primeval being born of and surrounded by apparent incoherence. Growth, the second book of Note for Note, explores the self subsumed by community, separation of self from community, and the exercising of choice amongst the fragility of a derived or assumed order that comes under threat. Ranweh, the Keeper of the Song, prepares to instruct Aimin, the keeper of the child, who is to be the main performer at the years most significant ceremony, an event that sanctifies the order that has been intuited from chaos and apparent incoherence. Unbeknownst to Ranweh, a taboo has been broken, contradicting the order that is taken as read, the very order that the ceremony celebrates. For the first time in living memory the Protector will not preside over the rites because he has no choice but to be elsewhere. The events take place downstream from and some centuries after the events in Book 1: Plough. Note for Note (Another Pentateuch) - Book 1: Plough has already been published through i-Universe who will also publish the other three books, Book 3: Harvest, Book 4: Snow, and Book 5: Scatter.

Download or read book Note for Note Another Pentateuch Book 3 Harvest written by Marcus M. Cornelius and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 1 (Plough) followed an exiled individuals search for inner coherence in an incoherent and violent world more than 1000 years ago. Book 2 (Growth) witnessed the establishment of a sustainable harmony between a community and the land upon which they had lived for three or four centuries but within and beyond which community were the seeds of its own decay. Book 3 (Harvest) shows a far more developed and structured society, which comprises several clear levels, from the rulers and the priesthood who impose order, through the artists, artisans, and peasants, down to the untouchables, the people of the mud, about whom it is forbidden to even speak. The story follows three main characters: Kimi, the principal courtesan of the ruler; Nohbul, the ferryman, and his family who had fallen from grace and seek to re-establish themselves in a state of grace; and Seth, a mute. The society comes under threat from external, and foreign, influences and from the volcano, The Blameless, in the shadow of which the society had evolved. The story is told on five levels, all but the final chapter having five parts. They each start with a section called The Names, on historical martyrs who are not well known, evidence of the lost tribes of Israel and the tribes of the Roma, who between them represent the two major diaspora in the history of human society. This is followed by a poem, and then the story of one of each of twenty-six masks which were part of the dome of a grand building buried perhaps centuries earlier, after a convulsion of the earth. There is then an Anecdote about events that may or may not concern residents of the society at the heart of the book, and, finally the story itself. Each of these levels can be read as a sequence in themselves or in the order in which they are presented in the book. Harvest takes place along the river which was a mountain spring in Book 1 and a vital stream in Book 2.
Download or read book Note for Note Another Pentateuch Book 5 Scatter written by Marcus M Cornelius and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note for Note Book 5 (Scatter) sees the river finally reach the ocean, roughly one thousand years after the events of Book 1 (Plough). It is the modern era in which people move at increasing speed and with increasing sophistication and increasing brutality, but essentially make the same choices as their ancestors did, although the context is absolutely different. There is a global transfer of goods, of culture and of those displaced and seeking refuge, the extent of which has never been seen before, but to a large extent people have forgotten their connections with what has gone before, and this ignorance is a sometimes fatal disconnection. The lives of a would-be patron of the arts and his partner connect with the lives of another couple, a painter and a dancer, in a harbour city where the mountain range also descends towards the ocean. These four people are further connected by the events that affect a homeless woman, a shoeshine man and a marginalised street artist. All of them are affected, knowingly or not, by the nature of events in the past, the influence of which changes the way each persons present comes into being in a blend of imagination, fantasy and substance. One of them will float out to sea.
Download or read book Sopolyrimu Volume 2 written by Marcus M Cornelius and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of Sopolyrimu to be published. The poems could be called songs from the spirit, to awaken the spirit of compassion in the listener, and, from what I hear from those who have heard some of them, this seems to be indeed true. They are also songs of gratitude for the miracle of life, and laments for the way I and some others all too often trash this miracle by quite reckless and cruel behaviour and temporary or prolonged bouts of simply forgetting what on earth we are doing here, and the consequences of what we do and of forgetting how serious the consequences are. "Exquisitely beautiful, beyond superb" (MJ, Australia) "Hearing this (sopolyrimu) was like being touched by the divine" (EM, Spain) "The most imaginative and meaningful writing I have come across in many, many years" (PS, Japan) " imbued with a tranquil and peaceful certainty ..."

Book excerpt: This is the third volume of sopolyrimu (songs, poems, lyrics for music) to appear in print. They continue to be enthusiastically received internationally, and in August 2009 Marcus started moving around the world giving reading performances of the work, a process that hopefully will not stop. Seven volumes of sopolyrimu have been completed, with one hundred in each volume. "If these has been released over the author's lifetime he would have become a national treasure by now. The work is distinguished not only by its fine feeling but also by its high level of craftsmanship. In many ways, the work has a serene devotional quality reminiscent of T. S. Eliot. Harris Smart, teacher and writer, and author of The Yellow House, a multi-media exploration of the friendship between Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. Everyone would benefit from reading and hearing these songs. They are profound and unforgettable M. Ridhwan Isharc, UK Marcus M Cornelius writer, teacher, bookseller and one-time singer. He graduated from Exeter University (UK), was awarded a Creative Writing Scholarship at Syracuse University (USA) and for seven years was a professor at Hokuriku University (Japan). He is currently finishing the sixth volume of sopolyrimu (songs, poems & lyrics for music). Each volume contains one hundred songs, one hundred being chosen simply because it is a convenient round number. Apart from these volumes of sopolyrimu, more of his work has been published by I-Universe, including Out of Nowhere the musical life of Warne Marsh, and the first two books in the five-part work entitled Note for Note (Another pentateuch). i-Universe will eventually publish the three other books in the series. Three of his spoken word CDs are available on I-Tunes (for purchase) and Last.fm (for free listening). The third CD was one step closer to his dream of having original music written for the sopolyrimu; all but two of the tracks are accompanied by music, and three tracks by commissioned music. More CDs are planned. Marcus is working towards the accomplishment of the final goal with the songs, which is to see them performed accompanied by music and dance. Further details of his work and activity can be found at www.auroranovapublishing.net. Marcus now lives in Eymet, France.
Download or read book Twinkling of an I in the Eye of the Self written by Marcus M. Cornelius and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twinkling is an autobiography with a difference: it is not mainly an account of the outer life of a person. It reveals the emergence of the increasing influence of the inner self, and does so much as an image is revealed when a photo is being slowly developed, which image, necessarily, at the start of the process is barely visible. What emerges is the story of the growing importance of the influence of the Self. And because the life concerned was, from an early adult stage, most significantly changed by the presence in it of the effect and guidance of the latihan of Subud (Susila Budhi Dharma), the book relates how that influence began, how it developed and how it moved a life towards its fulfilment, frequently in ways that were completely unexpected. Of course, confusion and the tension between competing alternatives are always at our disposal. What is always at our disposal as well, though it is harder to perceive in amongst all the confusion, is the clarity and wisdom that can inform and guide the development of our Self in what is, after all, a one-off performance. Twinkling is one story of how that clarity and wisdom can be perceived and how it can be allowed to express itself, in ways more rewarding than what we often regard as success.

Additional information about Adult Bible Studies, Winter 2022-2023 Theme: Power and Love This winter, our Bible lessons follow the theme “Power and Love.” The lessons first challenge us to try to understand Scripture, particularly the Nativity accounts, from the position of vulnerability and powerlessness. They then move to a closer look at what it means to belong to the family of God and culminate in a series of lessons on love and how it informs and changes our relationships. The writer of the teacher book is Taylor Mills. Unit 1 Power and Vulnerability God’s incarnation was into a poor family from a village of no consequence, vulnerable to the whims and machinations of the mighty Roman Empire. While some people reading this Bible study can relate to the poverty and obscurity, most will read it as citizens of a great world power. Some people know from experience that power can be abused even against a government’s own citizens, but others have known only the protection and benefits of that power. These lessons invite us to read the Nativity stories from the vantage point of the victims of empire. Scriptures: Judges 9:1-15; Matthew 1:1-25; Matthew 2:1-12; Matthew 2:13-15 Spiritual Practice: Acts of Mercy Unit 2 Power and Belonging The lessons in this unit follow the trajectory of biblical imagery for faith development from adoption through baptism and infancy in faith, into youthful excitement and exuberance, and then to a mature faith that struggles, challenges, and questions. Scriptures: Galatians 3:23—4:7; Luke 15:11-32; John 17:1-24 and Ephesians 4:14; Colossians 3:12-17; Matthew 22:1-14 Spiritual Practice: Rule of Life Unit 3 The Power of Love One of the distinct traits of biblical theology is the emphasis on God’s hesed (“lovingkindness”) and Jesus’ selfless love. In the early twentieth century, a great deal of ink was spilled trying to distinguish agápe love by which we become channels of God’s love from philía, friendship in which reciprocity is important, and éros, a passionate sort of love. Recent scholarship finds that Greek and biblical thought blurs the lines of agápe and philía and finds a greater emphasis on relationships. While we should enact our love without thoughts of personal gain, the ultimate goal of loving our enemies is becoming their friend. Scriptures: 1 John 4:7-21 and Ruth 4; 1 Kings 3:16-28; 1 Samuel 18:1-4, 19:1-7, 20; Matthew 16:21-28 Spiritual Practice: Spiritual Friendship Other Adult Bible Study components, sold separately, include: Student Book Each week’s Student Book lesson lists background Scripture, features key verses, provides reliable and relevant biblical explanation and application, and more in a readable font size that is accessible to everyone. Included to help students go deeper into the lessons are : A comprehensive Bible study plan with more flexibility in terms of Scripture selection and topics. Observation of the church seasons, including Advent and Lent. Suggestions for developing spiritual practices (prayer, confession, worship, mindfulness, solitude, community, hospitality, neighboring, service, and celebration).
