Download or read book Lucifer Morningstar A Philosophical Love Story written by Morten Tolboll and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a preface by the Devil we are introduced to the love story of Dracula and Mina, seen with the eyes of a philosopher. We learn that the nature of the Devils game is the paradoxical. This is revealed when we guess that the Devils proper name is Lucifer Morningstar, which means Bringer of Light. We hear about the Devils double incarnation in the pain-bodies of Dracula and Mina. In the search for the unification of their love we undertake a Heros Journey through the Earth-Moon Kingdom of the Vampire. Like Vergil in Dantes The Divine Comedy our guide will be Karen Blixen. In this book Morten Tolboll is using popular culture to shed light on his own pain-body and the dark ancient powers he has struggled with for over two decades. In this way the book is an anologistic portrait of the experiential background for his teaching Meditation as an Art of Life. The book is an inquiry into the nature of suffering and love.

Download or read book Intelligent Disobedience written by Ira Chaleff and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torture in Abu Ghraib prison. Corporate fraud. Falsified records at Veterans Administration hospitals. Teachers pressured to feed test answers to students. These scandals could have been prevented if, early on, people had said no to their higher-ups. Ira Chaleff discusses when and how to disobey inappropriate orders, reduce unacceptable risk, and find better ways to achieve legitimate goals. He delves into the psychological dynamics of obedience, drawing in particular on what Stanley Milgram's seminal Yale experiments-in which volunteers were induced to administer shocks to innocent people-teach us about how to reduce compliance with harmful orders. Using vivid examples of historical events and everyday situations, he offers advice on judging whether intelligent disobedience is called for, how to express opposition, and how to create a culture where citizens are educated and encouraged to think about whether orders make sense. --
Download or read book Devil Said Bang written by Richard Kadrey and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim—aka James Stark—is, quite simply, one of the most outrageous uber-anti-heroes ever to kick serious butt on this or any other world or dimension. In his previous three adventures—Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead, and Aloha from Hell—Stark has fled Hell for California, taken on angels, demons, outlaw bikers, zombies, covert government operatives, and all manner of monsters, while saving humankind from total annihilation on numerous occasions. But in Devil Said Bang, he finally assumes the role he was destined for: as the new Lucifer, ruler of the Underworld. Combining outrageously edgy humor with a dark and truly twisted vision, Richard Kadrey has once again delivered a masterful amalgam of action novel, urban fantasy, and in-your-face horror that will delight a wide range of readers—from Christopher Moore and Warren Ellis fans to the devoted adherents of Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon Green.

Download or read book Meditation as an Art of Life written by Morten Tolboll and published by WingSpan Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morten Tolboll believes that meditation isn't some kind of mental visualizing technique, but something philosophical, an art of life, which involves the entire cognitional, existential and ethical reality of Man. Moreover that this concept of meditation is the central core in all wisdomtraditions. The unusual thing about the book is that it claims that all the great masters within the wisdomtraditions actually used philosophical questions as their central meditation technique, and that all other spiritual exercises only were used to support this. In this way philosophical questions were a type of universal coans, which worked with the purpose to open the consciousness in towards the Source: the Good, the True and the Beautiful. In the book Morten Tolboll seeks to make this clear by constructing it as a guidance in how this quite concrete can be put into practice.
