Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of History, Science, and Scriptures. Multiple sources of history and science have been pulled together for great validity and accuracy of the information. For Bible accuracy of the First Five Books of Scripture referred to as the Torah, and the Pentateuch, multiple sources have also been utilized for a more complete assessment of Biblical events. Through many years of research and study, the books of Bereshis/Genesis, Shemot/Exodus, VaYikra/Leviticus, Bamidbar/Numbers, and Devarim/Deuteronomy, have been pulled together from the Authorized King James Bible; The Septuagint; The Book of Enoch; The Cabala Talmud; The Book of Yashar; The Orthodox Jewish Bible, and more. The stories in each of these books that discuss the same topics, all of those Scriptures have been brought together for greater clarity and overstanding of the story. In addition, all of the Scriptures from other parts of Scripture within each book that apply to the same topic, have all been compiled into the story. In pulling all of the parts together, the origin of sin is brought to the forefront of Biblical History. To fortify what is revealed in the Scriptures, Science, Paleontology, and Geology, are also incorporated to reinforce what the Scriptures tell us. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has proven that humanity is much older than seven thousand years In the Scriptural presentation of Creation itself, Science has proven that in the Seven Days of Creation, many eons have passed. Science by way of Carbon Testing tells us the Triassic Period: Mesozoic, Jurassic, and Cenozoic Periods occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago. History, Science, and Scripture together synchronize the chronology of the world, and of humanity. This book will be a great addition to your library.

Download or read book Niggers Sing Redemption Songs Reggae the Heart Beat of a People written by VK Ogilvie and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-09-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Of all the various acts of inequity throughout time, none was more severe than the submission forced upon the indigenous peoples of the earth by their earthly demi-god counterparts. Robbing these peoples of their God given cultural and traditional knowledge of survival, void of cultural references and alienated from their traditional survival techniques and skills, the indigenous peoples had no other choice than to accept the ways of the earthly demi-gods, which was modernity and that came with many social disadvantages, worst of all, they would become second and third class citizens in a racially divided and dystopic world. The standard procedure was the implementation of acts that were intended to impart the greatest degree of fear, the fear of death and the fear of dying; whatever methods the noble savages thought would break the barbarian savages into submission. All manner of unthinkable acts of atrocity were employed against the indigenous peoples, because the objectives of the earthly demi-gods had to be met, which was to expropriate the lands and natural resources from these savages, these ‘uncivilized’ people.” The work of Niggers Sing Redemption Songs: Reggae, The heart-beat of a people takes aim at reaffirming the psyche and glory of the Black self as of utter importance in our efforts to make our world a better place. The unconscionable disregard for the glory of the Black self and by refusing to use it, has successfully stripped away Black humanity from the Black indigenous peoples’ collective consciousness; overall leading to a ‘niggerization’ process done for the benefits of the barbaric and ignobly self-acclaimed earthly demi-gods. The Black peoples of the world must bring back the ‘Black’ love of self and all things Black, that is your redemption and then, real life will be given to you. Additionally, what was most evidently conspicuous and surprising was a revelation that had emerged from the research of this study. The study has discovered evidences, which would indicate that because of social biases, for example, racial prejudices, and out-right arrogance, coupled with miss-education and deprecated mindsets, the attitudes of many Jamaican historians, the down trodden sectors of the Jamaican society were undermined and were not given meaningful historical documentations. The academics did not document, accurately, the accounts of Afro-Jamaican culture, for instance, the Rastafarians input into the cultural history of Jamaica. Although many academics of the time were themselves Afro- Jamaican, non-sympathizers to the Rasta movement, and, in most cases, just a generation or two removed from slavery, they were non-commiserated towards their people’s history and struggles. So much so, that they did not consider the documentation of their Afro-Jamaican culture as a priority, and as such, a deficit in proper documentation of historical material exists today. This becomes quite evident in the footnotes, where due to the lack of material, there is a redundancy in reference materials Therefore, in order to add further depth to the stock of the genre of Black Liberation Literature, this work advances a redemptive process which is aimed, primarily, at every individual that has been niggerized by White supremacy and their racist systems. Therein, that each nigger would cultivate an awareness that would be congruent with his/her Black redemption, as is outlined in this literary work. Thus, that he/her would be empowered sufficiently, to rise above the White supremacist world that had ungratefully grafted him/ her and had restrained him/her to oppressive states of meaningless existences. Black people must rise above their common bound, the social degradation of niggerization, a social construct of the White racist demi-gods and to accept the fundamental merits and opportunities that a Black redemption would have provided, which is, the reconstructed Black self, with all its social advantages, because White America will not change and they will not change for the sake of niggers or will they accept niggers as Whites. Sorry, but no skin bleaching formula will change Blacks into White. The Black experience is not the undoing of the White racist demi-gods; instead, it is the doings of the reconstructed niggers towards the redemption, freedom, of Black individuals.

Book excerpt: Decisions, decisions..... Kieran Nichol, a thirty-three-year-old graphic designer, has an interview at Candlelight Ltd. this particular Monday morning. Kieran is a cynical, pessimistic, money-driven individual with health problems, but sees Candlelight Ltd. as his golden ticket to relative success and fortune. It's just a pity that his ex, Alice, won't be around to benefit from his upgraded status, as his partner. Meanwhile, Satan, no less, is making preparations in Hell for a new arrival he will soon have in his possession. At Candlelight Ltd., Kieran meets with Gabriella, HR manager, and her staff but Ms. Lock, the company director, is away at the parent organization, of which Candlelight Ltd. is a subsidiary. Kieran believes with the "angelic" Gabriella taking his interview, he's bound to be employed. She introduces him to members of the staff but the coffee she and they have given him, along with the striking and mysterious clock in the meeting room, are altering his perception, and he falls into a trance. Kieran is transported into the "other worlds" of unscrupulous individuals, who eventually end up in Hell—literally. Kieran's foray into the world of these doomed characters is a precursor to the doom he faces himself. But will he choose to embrace this future to satisfy his lust and greed—or make the necessary changes to escape this outcome? It's a race against time and dark forces as ruination chases on the heels of Kieran Nichol, in these critical moments during which he himself decides his material and spiritual destiny. A Flickering Mindlight is the story of a man's spiritual choices and consequential direction, catalyzed by paranormal phenomena and the imminent threat of material disaster.

Download or read book Heidegger s Poietic Writings written by Daniela Vallega-Neu and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A landmark achievement in Heidegger scholarship . . . displays a rigorous, thoughtful, and nuanced understanding of the whole of Heidegger’s notebooks.” —Andrew J. Mitchell, author of The Fourfold: Reading the Late Heidegger Engaging the development of Heidegger’s non-public writings on “the event” between 1936 and 1941, Daniela Vallega-Neu reveals what Heidegger’s private writings kept hidden. Vallega-Neu takes readers on a journey through these volumes, which are not philosophical works in the traditional sense as they read more like fragments, collections of notes, reflections, and expositions. In them, Vallega-Neu sees Heidegger searching for a language that does not simply speak about being, but rather allows a sense of being to emerge in his thinking and saying. She focuses on striking shifts in the tone and movement of Heidegger’s thinking during these important years. Skillfully navigating the unorthodox and intimate character of these writings, Vallega-Neu provides critical insights into questions of attunement, language, the body, and historicity in Heidegger’s thinking.

Download or read book The Xenotext written by Christian Bök and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many artists seek to attain immortality through their art, but few would expect their work to outlast the human race and live on for billions of years. As Canadian poet Christian Bök has realized, it all comes down to the durability of your materials."—The Guardian Internationally best-selling poet Christian Bök has spent more than ten years writing what promises to be the first example of "living poetry." After successfully demonstrating his concept in a colony of E. coli, Bök is on the verge of enciphering a beautiful, anomalous poem into the genome of an unkillable bacterium (Deinococcus radiodurans), which can, in turn, "read" his text, responding to it by manufacturing a viable, benign protein, whose sequence of amino acids enciphers yet another poem. The engineered organism might conceivably serve as a post-apocalyptic archive, capable of outlasting our civilization. Book I of The Xenotext constitutes a kind of "demonic grimoire," providing a scientific framework for the project with a series of poems, texts, and illustrations. A Virgilian welcome to the Inferno, Book I is the "orphic" volume in a diptych, addressing the pastoral heritage of poets, who have sought to supplant nature in both beauty and terror. The book sets the conceptual groundwork for the second volume, which will document the experiment itself. The Xenotext is experimental poetry in the truest sense of the term. Christian Bök is the author of Crystallography (1994) and Eunoia (2001), which won the Griffin Poetry Prize. He teaches at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

Download or read book The Fall of Tripura written by Ganesan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fall of Tripura weaves the magical threads of eighteen-year-old Nakul’s rollercoaster adventure as he accidentally resurrects a deadly civilization from India’s mystical past. This novel is infused with action, adventure and romance that drive its Science-Fiction and Mythological Fantasy based plot through the perils of an enchanting parallel universe. Nakul, a second generation Indian-American and Yale sophomore, had always harbored a fascination for India’s mythological origins replete with tales of exotic demigods and tyrannical demons who ruled the primordial subcontinent. However, one fated academic expedition in the hallowed soils of Tibet would change Nakul’s life forever and effectively plunge the human world into a hellish abyss. Nakul discovers a relic whose lustrous veneer conceals a deadly curse to resurrect an ancient demonic race known as the Danavas who lord over the colossal three-city flying kingdom of Tripura. These prodigious titans of the legendary Atlantean lineage would stop at nothing to seize the earth and subjugate its racially inferior human inhabitants. Nakul, as the fate anointed one, must plunge into the forbidden subterranean realm of the Danavas known as Atala to retrieve a celestial super-weapon that alone could annihilate Tripura. He must race against time in this seemingly impossible endeavor before Tripura’s rulers attain total invulnerability and unleash their unstoppable reign of terror over earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how French dramatists reproduced certain images of India such as the burning widow, the lowly pariah or untouchable, and the exotic 'bayadere' or dancing girl in four plays and one ballet written from the eighteenth century through the twentieth centuries. Addressing questions of Orientalism, the book also argues that it was because the French lost their Indian colonies to the Briish in the eighteenth centuries that India became a part of the French literary imagination.

Download or read book Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity written by Richard C. Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original interpretation of the origin and early reception of the most fundamental claim of Christianity: Jesus’ resurrection. Richard Miller contends that the earliest Christians would not have considered the New Testament accounts of Jesus’ resurrection to be literal or historical, but instead would have recognized this narrative as an instance of the trope of divine translation, common within the Hellenistic and Roman mythic traditions. Given this framework, Miller argues, early Christians would have understood the resurrection story as fictitious rather than historical in nature. By drawing connections between the Gospels and ancient Greek and Roman literature, Miller makes the case that the narratives of the resurrection and ascension of Christ applied extensive and unmistakable structural and symbolic language common to Mediterranean "translation fables," stock story patterns derived particularly from the archetypal myths of Heracles and Romulus. In the course of his argument, the author applies a critical lens to the referential and mimetic nature of the Gospel stories, and suggests that adapting the "translation fable" trope to accounts of Jesus’ resurrection functioned to exalt him to the level of the heroes, demigods, and emperors of the Hellenistic and Roman world. Miller’s contentions have significant implications for New Testament scholarship and will provoke discussion among scholars of early Christianity and Classical studies.
