Download or read book Law Reason and the Cosmic City written by Katja Maria Vogt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notions of the cosmic city and the common law are central to early Stoic political thought. As Vogt shows, together they make up one complex theory. A city is a place governed by the law. Yet on the law pervading the cosmos can be considered a true law, and thus the cosmos is the only real city. A city is also a dwelling-place--in the case of the cosmos, the dwelling-place of all human beings. Further, a city demarcates who belongs together as fellow-citizens. The thought that we should view all other human beings as belonging to us constitutes the core of Stoic cosmopolitanism. All human beings are citizens of the cosmic city in the sense of living in the world. But the demanding task of acquiring wisdom allows a person to become a citizen in the strict sense: someone who lives according to the law, as the gods do. The sage is the only citizen, relative, friend and free person; via these notions, the Stoics explore the political dimensions of the Stoic idea of wisdom. Vogt argues against two widespread interpretations of the common law--that it consists of rules, and that lawful action is what right reason prescribes. While she rejects the rules-interpretation, she argues that the prescriptive reason-interpretation correctly captures key ideas of the Stoics' theory, but misses the substantive side of their conception of the law. The sage fully understands what is valuable for human beings, and this makes her actions lawful. The Stoics emphasize the revisionary nature of their theory; whatever course of action perfect deliberation commands, even if it be cutting off one's limb and eating it, we should act on its command, and not be held back by conventional judgments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True morality is everywhere manifest in Nature, the extension of the natural laws that govern our psychic life. When human beings break these laws they pay by suffering or illness. The reader will no doubt be surprised to learn that true morality is not a limitation; on the contrary it confers tremendous freedom and increases our power of action.

Download or read book Telementation written by Jeffrey Grupp and published by Tree of Life Books. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telementation is an ancient meditative art form, the true nature of our deep inner self, and the most productive way to carry out the law of attraction, Christian mysticism, or Zen Buddhism. It is virtually unknown to modern people, but has been recognised by shamans, Zen Buddhists, mystics, and philosophers as the ultimate power in the universe, which is possessed by everyone. This is a short instruction manual on how to carry out the law of attraction with great ease and productivity, by directing one's inner feelings in a specific way. Many students attempting this become frustrated due to their great efforts and poor results. In Telementation, this is remedied by focusing on feelings rather than beliefs, and the law of attraction is then achieved with Zen-like ease and dramatic success. Telementation consequently creates a revolution in one's life that ends nearly all personal problems, as it brings a person back to their innate, inalienable greatness and poetical inner peace. Telementation is also particularly productive for those who want a simple guidebook on how to carry out Buddhist meditation or Christian spirituality, for those who have had trouble attaining ecstatic spiritual and religious experience through meditation, and for those unable to overcome depression by conventional methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objects of Dynamic Thought are to alter your mental attitude, to direct your thoughts into those channels which lead to success, achievement, health, happiness and perfect good; the arousing of the inward POWER, the overcoming of bad habits; the building up of character, and the discovery and development of the creative faculty. Do not worry because you cannot follow the course exactly to the letter. Do what you can of it, adapt it to your life, and do the best you can in present circumstances. Remember that although as soon as you start thinking right, you begin to build up your life, yet it takes time for it to manifest. At first things may seem to be worse, if so keep on and they will soon settle down. You cannot fail in the long run if you persist and persevere. There is a power lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things. The object of Within You is the Power is to help men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with the universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High.

Download or read book The Quest for Cosmic Justice written by Thomas Sowell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-06-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of fundamental principles of freedom -- amounting to a quiet repeal of the American revolution. The Quest for Cosmic Justice is the summation of a lifetime of study and thought about where we as a society are headed -- and why we need to change course before we do irretrievable damage.
Download or read book The Humanity of Private Law written by Nicholas McBride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Humanity of Private Law presents a new way of thinking about English private law. Making a decisive break from earlier views of private law, which saw private law as concerned with wealth-maximisation or preserving relationships of mutual independence between its subjects, the author argues that English private law's core concern is the flourishing of its subjects. THIS VOLUME - presents a critique of alternative explanations of private law; - defines and sets out the key building blocks of private law; - sets out the vision of human flourishing (the RP) that English private law has in mind in seeking to promote its subjects' flourishing; - shows how various features of English private law are fine-tuned to ensure that its subjects enjoy a flourishing existence, according to the vision of human flourishing provided by the RP; - explains how other features of English private law are designed to preserve private law's legitimacy while it pursues its core concern of promoting human flourishing; - defends the view of English private law presented here against arguments that it does not adequately fit the rules and doctrines of private law, or that it is implausible to think that English private law is concerned with promoting human flourishing. A follow-up volume will question whether the RP is correct as an account of what human flourishing involves, and consider what private law would look like if it sought to give effect to a more authentic vision of human flourishing. The Humanity of Private Law is essential reading for students, academics and judges who are interested in understanding private law in common law jurisdictions, and for anyone interested in the nature and significance of human flourishing.

Download or read book Cosmic Jackpot written by Paul Davies and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cosmic Jackpot is Paul Davies’s eagerly awaited return to cosmology, the successor to his critically acclaimed bestseller The Mind of God. Here he tackles all the "big questions," including the biggest of them all: Why does the universe seem so well adapted for life? In his characteristically clear and elegant style, Davies shows how recent scientific discoveries point to a perplexing fact: many different aspects of the cosmos, from the properties of the humble carbon atom to the speed of light, seem tailor-made to produce life. A radical new theory says it’s because our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes, each one slightly different. Our universe is bio-friendly by accident -- we just happened to win the cosmic jackpot. While this "multiverse" theory is compelling, it has bizarre implications, such as the existence of infinite copies of each of us and Matrix-like simulated universes. And it still leaves a lot unexplained. Davies believes there’s a more satisfying solution to the problem of existence: the observations we make today could help shape the nature of reality in the remote past. If this is true, then life -- and, ultimately, consciousness -- aren’t just incidental byproducts of nature, but central players in the evolution of the universe. Whether he’s elucidating dark matter or dark energy, M-theory or the multiverse, Davies brings the leading edge of science into sharp focus, provoking us to think about the cosmos and our place within it in new and thrilling ways.
Download or read book Spiritually Fierce written by Ricci-Jane Adams and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritually fierce is a not just a phrase. Spiritually fierce is a movement of awakening consciousness and you are part of it. It's time to change the conversation about intuition. We should begin by asking ourselves one question... Do I know that I am pure, unlimited consciousness? If the answer is no, then this is the spiritual guidebook for you. Intuition expert and spiritual scholar, Ricci-Jane Adams talks about what it takes to move from knowing we are intuitive, to trusting and living our intuition. It is way beyond understanding we all have a sixth sense. It's about walking the path of the heart's intuitive intelligence, and there are specific steps we all must take to activate it in our lives. In these pages we will learn how to: - Apply the science of intuition to our daily lives - Master the governing laws of the Universe, and - Gain skill in the specific practices that activate our intuitive intelligence In this deeply personal story, Ricci-Jane shares her own pilgrimage of surrendering the trinkets and superstitions of the new age to reclaim her spiritual fierceness, wild abundance and unlimited intuition. Spiritual fierceness comes when we are willing to meet our fear every single day, and make the choice for love. It's the only commitment we need to make to activate our intuitive intelligence, and meet our unlimited selves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatise De mundo offers a cosmology in the Peripatetic tradition which subordinates what happens in the cosmos to the might of an omnipotent god.
