Download or read book A Jewish Bestiary written by Mark Podwal and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ask the beast and it will teach thee, and the birds of heaven and they will tell thee.” —Job 12:7 In the Middle Ages, the bestiary achieved a popularity second only to that of the Bible. In addition to being a kind of encyclopedia of the animal kingdom, the bestiary also served as a book of moral and religious instruction, teaching human virtues through a portrayal of an animal’s true or imagined behavior. In A Jewish Bestiary, Mark Podwal revisits animals, both real and mythical, that have captured the Jewish imagination through the centuries. Originally published in 1984 and called “broad in learning and deep in subtle humor” by the New York Times, this updated edition of A Jewish Bestiary features new full-color renderings of thirty-five creatures from Hebraic legend and lore. The illustrations are accompanied by entertaining and instructive tales drawn from biblical, talmudic, midrashic, and kabbalistic sources. Throughout, Podwal combines traditional Jewish themes with his own distinctive style. The resulting juxtaposition of art with history results in a delightful and enlightening bestiary for the twenty-first century. From the ant to the ziz, herein are the creatures that exert a special force on the Jewish fancy.
Download or read book Creating the Soul Body written by Robert E. Cox and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlines the principles and mechanics of the soul body, the spiritual vehicle that enables individual consciousness to survive the body’s death • Shows that the ancient Vedic, Egyptian, Hebraic, and Pythagorean traditions shared and understood this spiritual practice • Reveals modern science as only now awakening to this ancient sacred science Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. They engaged in spiritual practices to make that transition maximally auspicious. These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy, in which base elements are discarded and higher levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness beyond physical death. These spiritual preparations are symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees until it comes to rest in the bosom of the infinite, thereby becoming “immortal.” This spiritual process explains the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, for example, whose reincarnation is confirmed in infancy through physical and spiritual signs, indicating that the consciousness has been carried from one lifetime to the next. In Creating the Soul Body, Robert Cox maps the spiritual journey of consciousness behind this sacred science of immortality and reveals the practice of creating a soul body in detail. He also shows that this ancient spiritual science resembles advanced theories of modern science, such as wave and particle theory and the unified field theory, and reveals that modern science is only now awakening to this ancient science of “immortality.”

Download or read book Roaming into the Beyond Representations of Xian Immortality in Early Medieval Chinese Verse written by Zornica Kirkova and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Roaming into the Beyond Zornica Kirkova provides the first detailed study in a Western language of Daoism-inspired themes in early medieval Chinese poetry. She examines representations of Daoist xian immortality in a broad range of versified literature from the Han until the end of the Six Dynasties, focusing on the transformations of themes, concepts, and imagery within a wide literary and religious context. Adopting a more integrated approach, the author explores both the complex interaction between poetry and Daoist religion and the interrelations between various verse forms and poetic themes. This book not only enhances our understanding of the complexities of early medieval literature but also reevaluates the place of Daoist religious thought in the intellectual life of the period.

Download or read book Phoenix and Immortality written by Mahmut Nedim and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the chance to look at reality from a different dimension and platform, by taking the findings of physicists, anthropologists, biologists and researchers of world religions, all of whom have sought the origins of life on earth, and dressing them in a fantastical robe. Also, in the words of today, it suggests that life was created by the tangible and intangible together. Therefore, in the process of combing through scores of myths, sometimes the paragraphs seem to contradict each other. In this context, rather than making logical connections, most sections present you with instinctive associations that may seem to leave much unsaid.On the other hand, while the question, 'What is reality?' has until yesterday always existed in philosophical definitions, now it is on the point of becoming a fundamental topic of physics and in fact some physicists are in pursuit of the intangible as they try to find an answer. Perhaps that is the only place we will find reality. As long as that is the case, everything becomes entangled. The first cell starting to squirm at the edge of the ocean turns into Adam in the same paragraph; as for Eve, her smiling image is reflected in the pool created by the first chain of amino acids. As for the question of which is true, as the only question that is not asked in the book, there is nothing but to leave the answer in the question. Maybe the answer is the question itself.Our aim is to look at myths through the window of science, look at science through the window of mysticism and allow ourselves to assimilate all of it as both a part and an image of our cosmic existence. As we do this, the reader can delight in the book by donning the wings of the associations within the paragraphs.Most of the metaphors in this book appear and disappear without any explanation of the concepts that represent them. It may be that a little knowledge of common physics and genetics is necessary to discern the associations between these metaphors. Therefore, we believe that as this is not a popular science book, perceptions gleaned from other sources will enable the reader to read it with more enjoyment. In summary, it is the answer to the question, 'What is life?', that the book seeks to tease out and interrogate. Sometimes life is defined as, 'The dynamic that, in time, enables the existence of the entity that carries the spark of life.' Some say that it is the spark itself. That is one possibility. But life might also be the strange light from the illusion of the quark reflected into our mirror. It resembles love... and maybe that is indeed what it is. It is something so irresistibly beautiful, charming and alluring, but yet so harsh and merciless. Or perhaps love is its loyal assassin. In fact, we generally tangle the two together as love lodges itself wherever the sharp arrow of Eros has decided to fall; while one brings pain, the other consummately darkens our spirit, or it makes the flowers blossom everywhere when you lay in the arms of your lover...Ultimately, maybe love is only the gleam of the spark known as life and it is that the lights up and darkens the world. Quarks, leptons, bosons, Higgs bosons and everything else within our knowledge is reflected in its mirror. This embellishes every dimension of existence with meaning; it brings everything into being. Heaven and hell are built on it - it is the reason behind the expulsion of Adam and Eve from heaven. That being the case, there is good reason to ruminate on the continued absence of love in the theories of physics. Why is it necessary to include the theory of love and life while seeking the location of the big bang or 'The Theory of Everything'? This work is a tentative step towards examining all of these matters in one.

Download or read book Reflection on the Death of a Porcupine written by D. H. Lawrence and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by the author of Lady Chatterley’s Loverpresents his musings on literature, politics and philosophy in a newly restored text. Though D. H. Lawrence was one of the great writers of the twentieth century, his works were severely corrupted by the stringent house-styling of printers and the intrusive editing of timid publishers. A team of scholars at Cambridge University Press has worked for more than thirty years to restore the definitive texts of D. H. Lawrence in The Cambridge Editions. Between 1915–1925, D. H. Lawrence wrote a series of “philosophicalish” essays covering topics ranging from politics to nature, and from religion to education. Varying in tone from lighthearted humor to spiritual meditation, they all share the underlying themes of Lawrence’s mature work: “Be thyself.” As far as possible, the editors of the Cambridge Editions series have restored these essays to their original form as Lawrence wrote them. A discussion of the history of each essay is provided, and several incomplete and unpublished essays are reproduced in an appendix.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Middle East Cities written by Haim Yacobi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the current debate about cities in the Middle East from Sana’a, Beirut and Jerusalem to Cairo, Marrakesh and Gaza, the book explores urban planning and policy, migration, gender and identity as well as politics and economics of urban settings in the region. This handbook moves beyond essentialist and reductive analyses of identity, urban politics, planning, and development in cities in the Middle East, and instead offers critical engagement with both historical and contemporary urban processes in the region. Approaching "Cities" as multi-dimensional sites, products of political processes, knowledge production and exchange, and local and global visions as well as spatial artefacts. Importantly, in the different case studies and theoretical approaches, there is no attempt to idealise urban politics, planning, and everyday life in the Middle East –– which (as with many other cities elsewhere) are also situations of contestation and violence –– but rather to highlight how cities in the region, and especially those which are understudied, revolve around issues of housing, infrastructure, participation and identity, amongst other concerns. Analysing a variety of cities in the Middle East, the book is a significant contribution to Middle East Studies. It is an essential resource for students and academics interested in Geography, Regional and Urban Studies of the Middle East.
