Book excerpt: Ten years ago two friends started studying philosophy. As they read and discussed the works of the great thinkers of the past, they saw a common thread of thought. They called it the Universal Psychic Force. Metaphysical Ramblings: The Secret of the Universal Psychic Force provides answers to the great questions of life. Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is there a spiritual existence after this one? Philosophers have been wrestling with these issues for centuries and their answers to these basic problems of existence are remarkably similar. Metaphysical Ramblings reviews the works of ten great philosophers and incorporates the common elements of each into one unified philosophy of life. The book also examines four major religions and points out similarities between their main beliefs and philosophical thought developed over centuries. The Theory of the Universal Psychic Force suggests we are all part of one spiritual entity that has and always will exist. Periodically, we separate from the unified whole and take on human form to interact with other aspects of ourselves. While here, we make choices that have consequences. This creates Karma, which leads to our own evolution and that of the entire Universal Psychic Force. Metaphysical Ramblings: The Secret of the Universal Psychic Force is not an intellectual treatise on philosophy, but rather a search for truth conducted by two close friends. Written in both English and Spanish, it invites all of us to examine our own thoughts on the meaning of life.
Download or read book Meditations on King Paimon Classical and Spiritual Ramblings on Demon King of the West written by Anne O'Donoghue and published by Self Published. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the 9th spirit of the Ars Goetia. Based partially on already existing texts, we investigate this Solomonic spirit's possible origins, personality, existing theories, and relation to other entities through a uniquely personal lens. With classical documents, and unverified personal gnosis by way of meditative techniques, we gain further insight into who Paimon is, those who accompany him, and more. Through this piece a new theory is created on just who this demon is, and their origins by way of beliefs and written thought which are both documented in this book. These beliefs are born of unverified personal gnosis and plausible theory. Also included in this text is the dispelling of myths, and ritualistic methods of contact for the interested reader to use and enjoy.

Download or read book The Ramblings of a Spiritual Survivalist written by M. Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in a series of writings that document my journey of self-discovery which began in 1999, shortly after the death of my mother. The subject, tone and delivery have continued to evolve, as if taking on a life of their own. There were times when it seemed as though deeply personal aspects of myself were attempting to reconcile with outside societal influences and observations in a desperate attempt to create peaceful resolution and acceptance of what is. I have found the writings to be both timely and prophetic, as well as deeply healing. My hope is that these words will touch others as powerfully and intimately as they have touched me.

Download or read book Shakespeare among the Moderns written by Richard Halpern and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernist writers, critics, and artists sparked a fresh and distinctive interpretation of Shakespeare's plays which has proved remarkably tenacious, as Richard Halpern explains in this lively and provocative book. The preoccupations of such high modernists as T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and James Joyce set the tone for the critical reception of Shakespeare in the twentieth century. Halpern contends their habits of thought continue to dominate postmodern schools of criticism that claim to have broken with the modernist legacy. Halpern addresses such topics as imperialism and modernism's cult of the primitive, the rise of mass culture, modernist anti-semitism, and the aesthetic of the machine. His discussion considers figures as diverse as Orson Welles and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Shakespeare critics including Northrop Frye, Cleanth Brooks, Stephen Greenblatt, and Stanley Cavell. Shakespeare's works have been subjected to a continuing process of historical reinterpretation in which every new era has imposed its own cultural and ideological presuppositions on the plays. The most enduring contribution of modernism, Halpern suggests, has been the juxtaposition of an awareness of historical distance and a mapping of Shakespeare's plays onto the present. Using modernist themes and approaches, he constructs new readings of four Shakespeare plays.
Download or read book Stones written by Jeanie Kortum and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A master’s degree student in narrative anthropology, Emily has examined her own roots—but only through an academic lens. All this changes, however, when she comes home to Africa and reconnects with her family’s tribe and its mystical prophecies. Sent on an assignment to embed herself with the last living members of this ancient tribe living the old way deep in the forest, Emily attempts to keep an academic distance even as the people she’s there to observe insist that she is the one they’ve been waiting for, and that it is her destiny to find a stone tablet made thousands of years before Christ and lead the tribe into the future. But resisting her call for change are the women in her village—who worship a secret goddess who advocates female genital mutilation as a symbol of true purity—as well as a police chief with an agenda all his own. Soon, Emily is swept into the ultimate battle of opposing minds, souls, and bodies—one that could determine the future not just of her tribe but women everywhere.

Download or read book Tributes written by Irving Horowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of his final works, Stephen Jay Gould spoke of the human race "as a wildly improbable evolutionary event well within the realm of contingency." Drawing on his personal knowledge of fifty figures from the world of twentieth-century social science, Irving Louis Horowitz offers commentaries drawn from a variety of public occasions to explain one segment of this improbable event. In the process he reveals how the past century was defined in substantial measure by the rise of social research. Commenting on Tributes, Daniel Mahoney observes, "some pieces are completely authoritative and detailed, others more conversational and informal. That diversity of approaches tied to the special character of these people increases the readability and interest in the book as a whole. In addition to illuminating the life and thought of these major figures, these essays and addresses reveal the impressive catholicity of Horowitz's concerns and his ability to remain open to the widest range of theoretical and practical approaches." In a certain sense, this book is also an intellectual autobiography in the form of an expression of Horowitz's debt to intellectual interlocutors and influences over the years. As a consequence, Tributes will be of the greatest interest to anyone who wishes to come to terms with the intellectual formation of the people who gave substance to new ways of experiencing as well as explaining society. The book is thus a thoughtful guide to the intellectual life of our times. From Arendt and Aron to Veblen and Wildavsky, these essays take shape as a systematic mosaic of the past century. Written by a central participant in social theory, Tributes is both an informal guide and a formal text for readers coming upon social science innovators for the first time. The book breaks the boundaries of conventional discourse and in so doing gives voice to the outstanding figures that helped make the twentieth century "the century of social research."

Download or read book Salvador Puig Antich written by Ricard de Vargas Golarons and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvador Puig Antich, a Catalan anarchist and member of the anticapitalist group MIL, was executed by garrote vil in 1974, one of the last victims of the Franco regime. Together with his comrades, he dedicated his life to the struggle against the fascist dictatorship and supported the wildcat strike movement that was sweeping Spain at the time. Since then, democrats and nationalists have tried to co-opt his memory, but his struggle was against capitalism and oppression in all its forms. This book tells the story of his life and death, in the words of his sisters, his friends, his comrades, and in his own words, while also relating the story of a movement that brought down the world's longest lasting fascist dictatorship. Compiled on the 45th anniversary of his execution, the book is edited by Ricard de Vargas Golarons, a movement historian, former prisoner, and friend and comrade of Puig Antich.
