Book excerpt: Our world is changing rapidly, while social division appears to be increasing. Some of these developments may seem alarming. Often we find ourselves struggling to keep up, get ahead, or simply relax. Life appears both impermanent and imperfect. It doesnt have to be this way. What we may not realize is that all of us, friend and foe alike, are perfect, complete, right here, right now, and always. Vigilance of the Heart traces that state of pure perfection and abiding joy we all seek, without realizing it is actually seeking us! All our experiences from the mundane to the sublime, from hardships to blessings, emerge from three powerful forces of the mind: awareness, attention, and reward. They underlie our sense of opposites ignorance-wisdom, distraction-absorption, bondage-freedom, and everything in between. These same three forces interact to reveal mindfulness, heartfulness, and playfulness the natural wellsprings of who we truly are. Vigilance of the Heart starts out as a journey of the heart and mind. It comes full circle as mindfulness, heartfulness, and playfulness merge into a provocative, yet compelling way for understanding yourself and the world. In short, you realize your innate perfection. Vigilance of the Heart offers an innovative approach to self-realization, achievement, and well-being in all facets of life. Vigilance of the Heart provides a digital Workbook which covers the fifty-one activities highlighted and described in the book. The Workbook is available for purchase at https://www.roy-horan.com for US$9.99.

Book excerpt: How can we find our way through the complexities of life in the twenty-first century? Many Christians are familiar with the pointed directives of the Ten Commandments, and many will regularly read Proverbs for bite-sized pieces of God's wisdom. When we study Proverbs within the framework of the Ten Commandments, we hear both parts of God's Word speaking in ways that are refreshingly practical and eminently memorable. Wise shows how these ancient words relate to such diverse areas of life as worship and prayer, our words and money, marriage and sexuality, and our fears, loves, and desires. This book will instruct and encourage with the wisdom that comes from fearing God.

Download or read book The Ministry Vol 11 No 10 written by Various Authors and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of The Ministry contains the last nine messages given during the 2006 spring term of the full-time training in Anaheim, California. The general subject of this series of messages is "Knowing and Experiencing the Intrinsic Constitution of the Building of God." The processed and consummated Triune God Himself is the constituent of God's building. When this processed and consummated Triune God as the constituent is dispensed into us, wrought into us, and built into us by being mingled with us, the result is not simply the constituent but a constitution. This constitution issues in a unique kind of being--a redeemed, regenerated, transformed, tripartite human being mingled with and one with the processed and consummated Triune God to be a real God-man. The intrinsic significance of 2 Samuel 7:12-14a--a prophecy concerning the building of God--is that the Triune God is working Himself in His processed and consummated Trinity into our being to make us His abode and to make Himself our abode. This is the focus of the messages contained in this volume. The all-inclusive life-giving Spirit as the extract of the processed and consummated Triune God in His economy is the constituent. God's central work is to dispense this constituent into every fiber of our being, saturating us, permeating us, constituting us, sonizing us, Christifying us, divinizing us, and deifying us so that although we remain human and therefore creatures, we become Triune God-constituted men, whose being is a constitution of the processed and consummated Triune God as the constituent. Now we, in our being, become this constitution, and as such we are part of the building of God. Last of all, we include a report concerning the Lord's move in Ivory Coast, a French-speaking country of West Africa.

Download or read book Cockpit Monitoring and Alerting Systems written by Paul M. Satchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While monitoring of computer-controlled systems is widespread, it is critically important in the cockpit of current passenger aircraft. Such monitoring requires special vigilance for those rare untoward events, which may be new to the pilot and which can have devastating consequences. This book uses a multidisciplinary approach to address this problem of sustaining attention while monitoring. It outlines and explains alternative ways of viewing the processes needed to prevent Human Factors accidents; it examines the use and limitations of cockpit resource management programmes in inducing behavioural and attitudinal changes appropriate for highly automated flight decks. The author’s approach deals rigorously with the physiological mechanisms underlying vigilance, arousal and stress, delineating clearly those that are relevant to the monitoring function. The three parts cover: monitoring problems and processes; monitoring measurement and alerting systems; and monitoring management. In the last part the author details management plans and guidance for monitoring assisted systems based on his understanding of the problems of continued human vigilance. Readership: pilots and training pilots; cockpit resource management groups; monitoring management specialists; university aviation departments; road and rail transport groups; those operating nuclear and large process installations.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking examination of stress and its effects on health and disease Cardiologist Robert S. Eliot identifies “hot reactors”—apparently healthy people who overreact to such common occurrences as losing a tennis game or missing a train. If you are a “hot reactor,” you may be responding to stress with an all-out physical effort that is taking a heavy toll on your health . . . without your even being aware of it. Based on more than twenty years of research with thousands of patients, Is it Worth Dying For? takes stress management out of pop psychology and puts it into mainstream medicine. Dr. Eliot identifies the ways in which stress affects the heart, the blood vessels, and the body and gives us new, objective ways of detecting stress before any damage is done. He offers a complete program for recognizing, reducing, and reversing the hidden effects of stress in your life—to make stress work for you, not against you. You’ll learn: • How to take your own “stress temperature” (the results may surprise you) • Whether you are a “hot” or “cold” reactor • How to relieve work-related stress • How to reduce your dependency on alcohol, drugs, and tobacco • How to keep your sense of control and self-mastery in practically any situation • Plus a complete stress-reducing nutrition plan; relaxation therapy techniques; and a twenty-minute-per day, three-day-per-week aerobic fitness program to strengthen your heart

Like, creepy ghost time surprised. Then these other guys showed up from some super secret government organization. They whipped their guns out and… That’s when Binky the awesome ninja ferret kicked their posteriors. Shortly after that things got weird. Which is saying a lot for me. I’m up to my eyeballs in trouble. So is Nora, my Vigilante hero girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend, technically, but I was working on changing that. Except the bad guy keeps blowing things up and everything keeps twisting around on me. I don’t know what’s what anymore. Then things get even more weird.

A few have made semi-serious attempts to make that happen. But this guy… He’s got issues. And the more the vigilante heroes and I figure out about this master villain, the more issues he has.
