Download or read book Walking for Breezes written by James Nelson Caulkins and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a boy taking the first steps towards being a young man with an independent perspective. It takes place over a two week period on a walkabout with his great uncle. At the same time his parents get to enjoy a break from their parenting and their effort of introducing the boy to the idea of holding an independent perspective. The story takes place several hundred years in the future after humans have once again chosen to spend their future by violently destroying what they have. It is a time when governmental influence is minimal and can be distant if desired. It is a time when Constitutional freedoms can be openly lived on an individual level. The constraining hierarchies of organized religions and an aggressive government with police and military support have been found to be wanting and negative to individual development. The walkabout takes place in the Rocky Mountains of the Western United States and from early to mid-June. Descriptions of the plant and animal life found along the way are from the author's experiences but are not meant to be from one locale. The various thoughts and perspectives of the characters in the book are shared by the author. The future conflicts are not intended to be prophetic in any way as the author thinks humanity's future is fluid and ours to choose. "...correctness, accuracy, truth, whatever you want to call it, is based on the content of what is said, not on who's talking." "Your clear mind will enable you to focus on detail and encompass the breadth of the Earth around you, ultimately causing you to have thoughts and emotions strong enough to add energy to your soul." "Different people do the same things in different ways. Freedom of religion is the concept that embraces different people seeking truth in different ways. If freedom is restricted truth is restricted and fanaticism grows."

Download or read book Walking with the Creator written by Beth Marek and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do I go on? How do I endure? Can I be safe, protected and cared for? Where or who can I run to in my time of need? These are silent questions that have been asked throughout the years. How can the life of a king, shepherd or written accounts of ancient wars in the Psalms be relevant in the 21st century? Walking with the Creator opens up the psalms and brings them alive applying them to the struggles and issues of daily living. Struggles with trust, depression, sorrow and endurance have all been experienced since biblical times. The lessons learned by a Middle Eastern shepherd and King are lessons that can be easily applied today. Knowing where to run to or who to call on in a time of need can be the source of great strength, it can be the single greatest key to making it through another day. On the battlefield of depression or loneliness or in the desert of hardship, redirecting focus on to what brings hope is catalyst to turning lives around and bringing about a bright future of promise. Walking with the Creator reveals the path of discovery which leads to finding this daily promise of hope.
Download or read book On the Supreme Good On the Eternity of the World On Dreams written by Boethius (of Dacia) and published by PIMS. This book was released on 1987 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first work Boethius offers a purely philosophical discussion of man's highest good and, in the course of doing this, presents the life of the philosopher as the highest kind of life. In the second treatise, he considers in detail an issue which was much contested by Christian thinkers of his day: Can philosophical reasoning prove that the world began to be? Or does it rather show that the world is eternal, i.e. that it did not begin to be? In the third he offers a highly naturalistic explanation of dreams. Only within carefully defined limits will he acknowledge that dreams can give us any kind of knowledge of future events.

Download or read book Walking the Land written by Shay Rabineau and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel has one of the most extensive and highly developed hiking trail systems of any country in the world. Millions of hikers use the trails every year during holiday breaks, on mandatory school trips, and for recreational hikes. Walking the Land offers the first scholarly exploration of this unique trail system. Featuring more than ten thousand kilometers of trails, marked with hundreds of thousands of colored blazes, the trail system crisscrosses Israeli-controlled territory, from the country's farthest borders to its densest metropolitan areas. The thousand-kilometer Israel National Trail crosses the country from north to south. Hiking, trails, and the ubiquitous three-striped trail blazes appear everywhere in Israeli popular culture; they are the subjects of news articles, radio programs, television shows, best-selling novels, government debates, and even national security speeches. Yet the trail system is almost completely unknown to the millions of foreign tourists who visit every year and has been largely unstudied by scholars of Israel. Walking the Land explores the many ways that Israel's hiking trails are significant to its history, national identity, and conservation efforts.
Download or read book Philoponus On Aristotle Posterior Analytics 1 1 8 written by Philoponus, and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's Posterior Analytics elaborates for the first time in the history of Western philosophy the notions of science and the requirements for the distinctive kind of knowledge scientists possess. His model is mathematics and his treatment of science amounts to a philosophical discussion, from the perspective of Aristotelian syllogistic, of mathematical proofs and the principles they are based on. Chapters 1-8 expound the foundations of Aristotle's theory, pointing out the similarities and differences between scientific knowledge and other types of knowledge, establishing the need for basic principles, and identifying the types of principles and the source of necessity associated with scientific facts. Philoponus' massive commentary, the most complete ancient discussion of Posterior Analytics Book 1, offers uniquely valuable testimony to the way this book was read and understood in late antiquity, as well as providing information on earlier interpretations. Of particular interest is Philoponus' account of scientific principles, which is based not only on Aristotle but also on the Greek mathematical tradition, especially Euclid and his commentator Proclus.
