This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we look at the state of affairs and the matters as they stand now, we find ourselves either living in an age of anxiety, even with prevalent material prosperity fostered by economic and technological development, or living in an age of turmoil if beset with social disorder owing to ongoing political and social conflicts, wars, hunger, disease, poverty and economic hardships, or living in a state of turbulence - a state in between the states of anxiety and turmoil where we have limited economic opportunities for all conjoined with lesser level of social disorder, but nevertheless without mass scale upheavals and conflicts. Irrespective of the state we are in, depending on our present state of socio-economic, political, geographic and cultural situation and context, we find ourselves searching for the state of equilibrium where we can live with positivity, optimism, inner peace, tranquility, happiness and success. How to achieve this positive inner state to overcome anxiety, turbulence, or turmoil we find ourselves in, requires a deeper look into real factors that lead to overcoming these negative and undesirous states. The purpose of this treatise is to expound the alternatives to negativities, despair, depression, and despondency, in the form of resilience, optimism and positivity in thoughts, feelings, words, deeds and being. The result of this transformation in attitudes - both inner and outer - results in inner peace, tranquility, happiness, and a timeless outlook on life and its challenges, imbuing eternal happiness and endless triumph that starts in this very earthly existence but then transcends the constraints of time and space into a life of eternity immortalizing a human being. This book will be a succor to the helpless, an aid to the distressed whose plights are unbearable, a relief for those immersed in inner sufferings in the form of despair, depression, sadness, frustrations and inner void, a light for those who are surrounded with darkness, a guide for those searching for the truth, purpose and meaning of their lives, and a pathway for those desiring to become better and turn things around for themselves, their families, their communities, their nations and the world.

Book excerpt: Beloved New York Times bestseller M. C. Beaton's cranky, crafty Agatha Raisin—now the star of a hit T.V. show—is back on the case again in Down the Hatch. Private detective Agatha Raisin, having recently taken up power-walking, is striding along a path in Mircester Park during her lunch break when she hears a cry for help. Rushing over, she finds an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Swinburn, in the middle of the green—with the body of an old man lying at their feet. The man, who the coroner determines died by poisoning, was known as "the Admiral," a gardener notorious for his heavy drinking, and Chief Inspector Wilkes writes the death off as an accident caused by the consumption of weedkiller stored in a rum bottle. Agatha is not convinced that anyone would mistake weedkiller for rum but carries on with her work at Raisin Investigations, until she receives an anonymous tip that the Admiral’s death was no accident. Local gossip points to the Swinburns themselves as the killers, spurred by a feud at the club where they, as well as the Admiral, were members. Distraught at this accusation, they turn to Agatha to clear their name, and she takes the case—despite the warnings of Chief Inspector Wilkes. Agatha encounters one suspicious character after another, becoming further enmeshed in the Admiral’s own dark and shady past. And when she's run off the road, narrowly escaping with her life, and then another attack occurs, it becomes clear that someone doesn’t want the case closed—and will stop at nothing to prevent Agatha from solving it.

Download or read book Beauty and Human Existence in Chinese Philosophy written by Keping Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the Chinese conception of beauty from a historical perspective with regard to its significant relation to human personality and human existence. It examines the etymological implications of the pictographic character mei, the totemic symbolism of beauty, the ferocious beauty of the bronzeware. Further on, it proceeds to look into the conceptual progression of beauty in such main schools of thought as Confucianism, Daoism and Chan Buddhism. Then, it goes on to illustrate through art and literature the leading principles of equilibriumharmony, spontaneous naturalness, subtle void and synthetic possibilities. It also offers a discussion of modern change and transcultural creation conducted with particular reference to the theory of the poetic state par excellence (yi jing shuo) and that of art as sedimentation (ji dian shuo).

Download or read book Daily Devotions for Deacons written by Russell R. Cook and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired, well-trained, and spiritually mature deacons can be a mighty force for the church, and local American churches need their servants to excel in their ministry and service to the Body of Christ now more than ever. Most pastors and deacons in America are sincere in their desire to serve, but many do not receive enough advanced orientation, and even more receive no ongoing training at all. This lack can create much frustration and may even overwhelm deacons and their families as they try to manage the minefields of ministry. Daily Devotions for Deacons, by Russell R. Cook, guides deacons in daily preparation for their enormous and invaluable task and inspires them to become all Christ means for them to be. This guide for deacons offers a year of brief yet deeply spiritual and relevant biblical devotions. For a few moments a day, five days a week, all who desire to live as fully devoted followers of Christ will benefit from Cooks years of teaching and training pastors and deacons across America. By learning the principles and qualities necessary for a strong, effective ministry, and by applying these same qualities of service in everyday life, we begin to fulfill our God-given role and draw ever closer to His presence and His truth.

Download or read book Memorializing Animals during the Romantic Period written by Chase Pielak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early nineteenth-century British literature is overpopulated with images of dead and deadly animals, as Chase Pielak observes in his study of animal encounters in the works of Charles and Mary Lamb, John Clare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, and William Wordsworth. These encounters, Pielak suggests, coincide with anxieties over living alongside both animals and cemeteries in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-centuries. Pielak traces the linguistic, physical, and psychological interruptions occasioned by animal encounters from the heart of communal life, the table, to the countryside, and finally into and beyond the wild cemetery. He argues that Romantic period writers use language that ultimately betrays itself in beastly disruptions exposing anxiety over what it means to be human, what happens at death, the consequences of living together, and the significance of being remembered. Extending his discussion past an emphasis on animal rights to an examination of animals in their social context, Pielak shows that these animal representations are both inherently important and a foreshadowing of the ways we continue to need images of dead and deadly Romantic beasts.

Download or read book Library of Small Catastrophes written by Alison C. Rollins and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Library of Small Catastrophes, Alison Rollins’ ambitious debut collection, interrogates the body and nation as storehouses of countless tragedies. Drawing from Jorge Luis Borges’ fascination with the library, Rollins uses the concept of the archive to offer a lyric history of the ways in which we process loss. “Memory is about the future, not the past,” she writes, and rather than shying away from the anger, anxiety, and mourning of her narrators, Rollins’ poetry seeks to challenge the status quo, engaging in a diverse, boundary-defying dialogue with an ever-present reminder of the ways race, sexuality, spirituality, violence, and American culture collide.
