Download or read book The Power of Names written by Mavis Himes and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our proper name is as much a part of us as our own skin. It travels with us like a passport, testifying to our unique presence on this earth. The articulation of our name rolls off our tongue with ease and familiarity, yet we rarely turn and examine the part our name plays in what makes us who we are. Our first name reflects the hopes and dreams of our parents and family, our culture, and our own sense of self, while our surname carries our ancestral history, a branding of both affiliation and transmission. In The Power of Names, Mavis Himes explores both the profound ambivalence that many of us feel toward our names and the conscious and unconscious impact our names have on our lives, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill. She explores such questions as: What do our names mean? How do they influence our destiny? What does it mean to lose or change our name - and what does this reveal or conceal about who we are? Himes engages readers through a skillful interweaving of reflections on her own Jewish surname, shortened by immigrant ancestors to accommodate a new life in a new world; the historical and cultural impact of a group on naming practices; the various ways different cultures celebrate the naming of infants; the power of names in myth and legend; and the impact of names on friends and patients from her practice. Readers are invited to consider their own names, the names they give others, and the names of those around them as a starting point for understanding the stories of our lives.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! A revelatory look at how our environment unconsciously yet dramatically shapes the judgments and decisions we make every day Most of us go through life believing that we are in control of the choices we make—that we think and behave almost independently from the world around us. But as Drunk Tank Pink illustrates, the truth is our environment shapes our thoughts and actions in myriad ways without our permission or even our knowledge. Armed with surprising data and endlessly fascinating examples, Adam Alter addresses the subtle but substantial ways in which outside forces influence us—such as color’s influence on mood, our bias in favor of names with which we identify, and how sunny days can induce optimism as well as aggression. Drunk Tank Pink proves that the truth behind our feelings and actions goes much deeper than the choices we take for granted every day.

Download or read book It s All in the Name written by Sharita Star and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's All in the Name explains the concept of Lexigrams and the uncanny magic they can unfold for self-knowledge. The author begins by introducing simple words and taking the reader on a journey that shows how much we can find the truth we are searching for is contained within the words we use every day. After offering a few rules to guide the Lexigram process (and suggesting times to break those rules), she explains the interconnections among Lexigrams, astrology, and numerology. Sharita Star goes on to show how many of the Lexigrams that can be derived from names and titles relate to the very astrological and numerical guidance that governs them, providing historical evidence to show how this dynamic works. To do so, she offers references to zodiacal Sun signs and the Chaldean understanding of numerology. Moreover, Sharita provides numerous case studies of well-know individuals, past and present. It's All in the Name is a valuable tool for exploring the profound inner meanings of names and everyday words and for deepening one's intuitive capacity.

Salah and his camel, Qadiim, are constant companions. They work together, eat together, and sleep together. Salah is distressed, however, because his camel always seems so sad and downcast, hanging his head low. But in middle of one night, Salah remembers what his father has told him -- that while mankind knows only ninety-nine names for Allah, there are actually one hundred names. What if Qadiim, the camel, could learn the hundredth name? Under the stars Salah prays "to Allah with all his strength." The next day-- a seeming miracle! -- the camel Quadiim carries his head high with a most knowing look. Does Quadiim know the one hundredth name? Beautifully written and complemented by illustrations that portray the lush, verdant landscape of the Middle East, from the banks of the Nile to its luminous starlit nights, here is a spiritual and touching story of an Islamic family.

Download or read book The Frontman written by Harry Browne and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrity philanthropy comes in many guises, but no single figure better encapsulates its delusions, pretensions and wrongheadedness than U2's iconic frontman, Bono-a fact neither sunglasses nor leather pants can hide. More than a mere philanthropist-indeed, he lags behind many of his peers when it comes to parting with his own money-Bono is better described as an advocate, one who has become an unwitting symbol of a complacent wealthy Western elite. The Frontman reveals how Bono moved his investments to Amsterdam to evade Irish taxes; his paternalistic and often bullying advocacy of neoliberal solutions in Africa; his multinational business interests; and his hobnobbing with Paul Wolfowitz and shock-doctrine economist Jeffrey Sachs. Carefully dissecting the rhetoric and actions of Bono the political operator, The Frontman shows him to be an ambassador for imperial exploitation, a man who has turned his attention to a world of savage injustice, inequality and exploitation-and helped make it worse.

Download or read book The Power of God s Name Jehovah written by Isaac Janai and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: This book contains material of a CONTROVERSIAL nature relating to what is taught in Christianity today. Now, if controversy scares you, stop reading here. Really. It means this book is NOT FOR YOU. "May people know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, You alone are the Most High over all the earth."--PSALMS 83:18 Today, many still believe that the divine name of God should not be used, because it is not known exactly how to pronounce it. The Tetragrammaton (YHWH) derived from a verb that means "I Will Become what I choose to become", "I Will Become whatsoever I please", "I Shall Be what I am", or "I Am that I am." The most widely accepted pronunciation of The Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is Yahweh or (JEHOVAH). For centuries, most scholars of the Holy Scriptures have known that the Holy Scriptures have been misused and abused, not only by the translators, but also by the early scribes. The mistranslation of the Holy Scriptures has caused the TRUE WORK, which the prophets spoke of, to be hidden in most translations of the Scriptures. This has been damaging to those who are searching for THE TRUTH about God's word and his purposes for mankind. However, the most damaging error in Christianity today is the error of removing GOD'S name from the Bible. The personal name of God has been replaced with titles such as "Father," "Creator," "the Almighty," "Sovereign Lord," and "the Most High." At some point the Jews felt that it was wrong even to pronounce the divine name. Some thought the name was too sacred for imperfect lips to speak. Yet God's name JEHOVAH appears nearly 7,000 times in the Hebrew text; printed in Biblia Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Can using God's name change your life? Yes it can! In the pages of "The Power of God's Name Jehovah," you'll learn these 2 profound truths. "The name of JEHOVAH is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection."-PROVERBS 8:16 "By me princes keep ruling, And nobles judge in righteousness. I love those loving me, And those seeking me will find me. Riches and glory are with me, Lasting wealth and righteousness."-PROVERBS 8:16-18 Now you can take all the guesswork out of Christianity, and learn first-hand, why God's name has been hidden from most translations of the Bible. Within these pages you'll learn how you can use the power of God's name in every aspect of your life -- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power behind the name and how hundreds of ethnic groups and languages have overcome obstacles, and achieved what many would regard as impossible. You'll understand just about everything that's happening in your own life as well as in the lives of those you're interacting with. With JEHOVAH'S power you can be, do, or have anything that you desire! "You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Jehovah is righteous in all his ways and loyal in all that he does. Jehovah is near to all those calling on him, To all who call on him in truth."-PSALMS 145:16-18 (LINK TO BONUS AUDIO & VIDEO SHOWCASE INCLUDED INSIDE)
