Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author's FOREWORD. Infinite Life-Universal Mind-is the Supreme Power. It is the essence of a Force comparable to nothing else, which, through Reason caused to be Positive by Rightness, can be made more fully operative within us, and thus bring us Health and Happiness Here and Now as well as There and Then. It is the purpose of this work to show how Reason can be made Positive in Rightness. This is a dear, good old world, much as in moments of misery we may think or say to the contrary. We know that the universe is not misbegotten or misconducted, for everything in it is right but ourselves. We are the only things capable of reasoning, and as we are the only things that get out of gear with the universe it must be our Reason that is at fault. Our mistakes we call sins, and we suffer for them. We try, oh! so hard, and fail, or seem to fail, yet the Universal Urge to Rightness that we see working so perfectly in everything about us is also in US. There must be a way for us to arrive at Rightness. Come let us reason together and we will find it. Over half a century ago, when the writer was but a "wee bit laddie," his maiden aunt was in the habit of paying an annual visit to the farmhouse in which he was born. Welcome as was her coming, it is to be feared that she would not have been so eagerly looked for had it not been for the box of presents which she never failed to bring from the city for us children. We were permitted to open the box for ourselves and to select our own belongings. What joy! Every toy, every trinket, every book, was a treasure of art. Is it not possible for you to look into a new book with something of the same expectancy as we peered into Auntie's box? The Great Philosophy asserts that unless we become as little children we can in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven-the State of Harmony. We cannot physically or mentally return to the state of childhood, but we can retain, or bring back if we have lost it, our faculty of Image Making. We can hold communion with unseen familiars as do children. We can be expectant to the point of believing that that which is so intensely hoped for is already ours. We can, in fact, become so aware of what Is as to know It without the aid of, indeed in spite of, our physical senses. It is to be hoped you will read this book in such a spirit. What is a book but a parcel of thoughts, things wrapped up in printed words? The container may be crude, but undo the wrapping carefully and you will find something in it for YOU. has its vocabulary-its jargon. As little as possible of this sort of thing has been used without becoming tiresome to the specialists, who express in one word what would require an explanatory paragraph. This book may be small, but it will be found far too large for those who do not try to understand it; it will seem just the right size to those who grasp and appreciate its meaning, and it will not be too large for those who become interested and determined to weigh its statements by reading it over and over again. The thoughts themselves have come out of the fire of years of suffering, and should be as pure as they are joyous in their release. Do not open this book with a yawn or a sneer. If you are in a mood which makes you feel like tearing something, put The Thinking Universe aside till you are in a humor to have a real good think. That you will then find that everything in it is for YOU is the wish of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thinking Universe: Reason as Applied to the Manifestations of the Infinite The aim of this work is to make comprehensible the Grandeur of the Immobile, Intangible Infinite, reposing Majestically in its Eternal, Unchanging Stillness, in Everything, as Everything, propelling Everything. Its Method is by a proper classification and description of the processes of the human mind to make clear that Right Reasoning must precede Right Thinking, which is synonymous with Right Acting. Its Development shows that human beings, always eager for health, happiness and prosperity, finding these things dependent upon the Rightness of their thoughts, will become more careful in their Reasoning and thus live cleaner and more reasonable lives. Its Iconoclasm is only that of removing obstacles delaying Man in his progress to Perfection. Its Constructiveness is the convincing of Man of his sufficient equipment to overcome all impediments to his arrival at Positive Rightness. Its Effect, by divesting Death of its terrors and the Future Life of its unreasonable dulness, must be to cause Man to regard Life Here and Now as a pleasing and profitable incident preparatory to still more pleasing and profitable experiences There and Then. Its Hope is that it may find its way into every home and every life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Kalam Cosmological Argument Volume 1 written by Paul Copan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the universe begin to exist? If so, did it have a cause? Or could it have come into existence uncaused, from nothing? These questions are taken up by the medieval-though recently-revived-kalam cosmological argument, which has arguably been the most discussed philosophical argument for God's existence in recent decades. The kalam's line of reasoning maintains that the series of past events cannot be infinite but rather is finite. Since the universe could not have come into being uncaused, there must be a transcendent cause of the universe's beginning, a conclusion supportive of theism. This anthology on the philosophical arguments for the finitude of the past asks: Is an infinite series of past events metaphysically possible? Should actual infinites be restricted to theoretical mathematics, or can an actual infinite exist in the concrete world? These essays by kalam proponents and detractors engage in lively debate about the nature of infinity and its conundrums; about frequently-used kalam argument paradoxes of Tristram Shandy, the Grim Reaper, and Hilbert's Hotel; and about the infinity of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Science has never had an advocate quite like David Deutsch ... A computational physicist on a par with his touchstones Alan Turing and Richard Feynman, and a philosopher in the line of his greatest hero, Karl Popper. His arguments are so clear that to read him is to experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet and to understand it' Peter Forbes, Independent In our search for truth, how far have we advanced? This uniquely human quest for good explanations has driven amazing improvements in everything from scientific understanding and technology to politics, moral values and human welfare. But will progress end, either in catastrophe or completion - or will it continue infinitely? In this profound and seminal book, David Deutsch explores the furthest reaches of our current understanding, taking in the Infinity Hotel, supernovae and the nature of optimism, to instill in all of us a wonder at what we have achieved - and the fact that this is only the beginning of humanity's infinite possibility. 'This is Deutsch at his most ambitious, seeking to understand the implications of our scientific explanations of the world ... I enthusiastically recommend this rich, wide-ranging and elegantly written exposition of the unique insights of one of our most original intellectuals' Michael Berry, Times Higher Education Supplement 'Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive' Economist 'David Deutsch may well go down in history as one of the great scientists of our age' Scotsman

Download or read book A Universe from Nothing written by Lawrence M. Krauss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?” One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end. Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.

Download or read book Cycles of Time written by Roger Penrose and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Nobel prize-winner Roger Penrose, this groundbreaking book is for anyone "who is interested in the world, how it works, and how it got here" (New York Journal of Books). Penrose presents a new perspective on three of cosmology’s essential questions: What came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? And what cosmic future awaits us? He shows how the expected fate of our ever-accelerating and expanding universe—heat death or ultimate entropy—can actually be reinterpreted as the conditions that will begin a new “Big Bang.” He details the basic principles beneath our universe, explaining various standard and non-standard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, the paramount significance of black holes, and other basic building blocks of contemporary physics. Intellectually thrilling and widely accessible, Cycles of Time is a welcome new contribution to our understanding of the universe from one of our greatest mathematicians and thinkers.

Download or read book Steady State of the Infinite written by David Franks and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you love science, existence and reality, there's nothing more exciting than reading about new ideas ! Well, here, are several NEW and PROFOUND ideas. Update yourself with the latest universe theories, and - crucially - get the whole picture, with latest the thinking about - TIME, FREE WILL, RANDOMNESS, CAUSE AND EFFECT, INFORMATION AND ORDER, BLACK HOLES and THE BIG BANG - Learn about my new 'THE STEADY STATE OF THE INFINITE' theory - Learn why the universe won't keep expanding forever - Learn why black holes don't destroy information - Learn why everything that can happen doesn't happen - Learn why time doesn't exist - Learn why there's no such thing as free will - Learn the importance 'cause and effect' and 'information and order' have in shaping our world and the universe. Exciting ideas for general readers - and top scientists alike, who are fascinated by EXISTENCE ! As a taste of what's to come, in the first chapter of my book I've coined the statement - "THAT WHICH CAME OUT OF THE BIG BANG WENT IN FIRST". Simple as it seems, not many theories or scientists have ever suggested that. The only way to escape this conclusion is to assume you can have something from nothing. Many theories seem to treat the big bang as the beginning of everything, even time and space itself. Many concentrate on 'the universe' as the be-all and end-all of everything. I don't, as you may come to read. So for a complete picture, you need a theory to include what was before the big bang, what's in the rest of the space it went bang in, and what's going to happen to our universe. I've created many such ideas and statements which I believe are new and with profound consequences. When I combine them all together, I reach some AMAZING and mind-blowing conclusions ! It's not enough just to have a good theory of the universe, so I've included a mixture of major related topics, again including many of my own new ideas, in order to give you a complete picture of existence. I get straight to the point without waffle, so it's a short book and you won't have to worry about finding time to read it. - I PROMISE AND STAND BY MY STATEMENT, THAT - "There are several NEW and PROFOUND ideas" in my book. I believe with all sincerity, that at least some of my ideas will forever change the way you see existence ! Best wishes David J Franks

Download or read book Infinity written by Thomas P. Ehrenzeller and published by . This book was released on 2001-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infinity presents a unique philosophical theory of thought and existence. Ehrenzeller believes humankind has subscribed to a limited and finite mode of thought. His is a philosophy of infinite thought and existence with radical ramifications in every field, including economics, politics, education, religion, science, and global and universal relations. The author delivers a studied, rational, and well-organized presentation of his philosophy of infinity and infinite thinking. His ideas are radical, yet he presents them clearly and candidly in an accessible style that will not overwhelm the general reader or bore scholars. His projections of the effects infinite thinking would have in so many areas of human existence are presented with contagious enthusiasm that, if it does not convert, engages the reader in a spirited intellectual dialogue. This is a philosophical argument in its greatest form -- engaging, clear, thoughtful, and passionate. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive, yet succinct, analysis of the Philosophy of Religion – from metaphysics through theology. Organized into two sections, the text first examines truths concerning what is possible and what is necessary. These chapters lay the foundation for the book’s second part – the search for a metaphysical framework that permits the possibility of an ultimate explanation that is correct and complete. A cutting-edge scholarly work which engages with the traditional metaphysician’s quest for a true ultimate explanation of the most general features of the world we inhabit Develops an original view concerning the epistemology and metaphysics of modality, or truths concerning what is possible or necessary Applies this framework to a re-examination of the cosmological argument for theism Defends a novel version of the Leibnizian cosmological argument
